Abstract

A systematic literature review was conducted on decentralised, community-scale composting and organics recycling initiatives in South-East Queensland, and other regions in Australia and globally. The results found were compared with the results of a pilot project on Karragarra Island, off the coast of southern Queensland. No relevant literature found in the review was from Australia and projects in south-east Queensland were investigated via personal communication. Overall, the results showed community-scale composting to be viable with the right partnerships, community awareness, project design and financial support. The pilot project implemented on Karragarra Island may be modified and replicated in South-East Queensland and beyond.
