TPSS Guidelines Consultation
Have Your Say
TSA is inviting public feedback on a discussion paper that explores potential improvements to the current voluntary Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme guidelines.
About the discussion paper
Over the past six months, TSA has gathered feedback from industry and stakeholders on the current guidelines. This input has informed a discussion paper that outlines three potential areas for improvement:
- the possible inclusion of end-of-life conveyor belts within the scheme
- potential changes to how scheme levies are calculated
- clearer alignment of contributor and participant categories with the tyre and conveyor belt supply chain
The discussion paper is intended to support informed consideration and comment on these potential improvements, rather than propose final changes to the Scheme.
Consultation process
This consultation represents Stage 1 of TSA’s public consultation process and is focused only on the discussion paper.
A second, broader public consultation on the potential revised guidelines is planned for later in 2026, providing a further opportunity for feedback.
How to participate
Submissions are invited from members of the public, industry participants and other interested parties.

Review the discussion paper to understand the potential areas for consideration. - Complete the short online survey
Share your feedback through the online survey, where you can:- respond to questions on the potential areas for improvement

- upload supporting documents or written submissions for consideration
This round of consultation is now closed. Further details will be made available soon.
Policy Submissions
TSA's Submissions to Policy
TSA regularly contributes to government consultations and policy development processes at both the state and national level. These submissions are part of our advocacy work to ensure tyres are recognised as a valuable resource and that policies support a strong, transparent and effective stewardship framework.
Publishing these documents reflects our commitment to accountability and transparency. They also provide stakeholders with a record of TSA’s positions on key issues, from regulatory reform to resource recovery, product stewardship, and market development.
Below you’ll find a list of TSA’s recent submissions. Each entry links to the full document where available.
Industry Advisory Committees
Advisory Committee Communiques
The Industry Advisory Committees (the Committees) play a vital role in facilitating the exchange of information and providing advice on issues impacting the passenger, bus and truck (PBT) tyre value chain, within the remit of the Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme.
The Committees provide a forum where Scheme and industry matters can be considered and addressed collaboratively with stakeholders. While advisory in nature, and without delegated decision-making authority within TSA’s governance framework, the Committees contribute specialist skills, experience, and knowledge to:
- Support TSA by providing feedback and guidance on the effectiveness and efficiency of Scheme administration and activities, including market development, research, and advocacy.
- Provide insights into operational issues facing the industry segment, including emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities.
- Offer technical advice on policy and regulatory developments relevant to the industry.
This collaborative model underpins TSA’s strategy to deliver a transparent and effective tyre stewardship Scheme, guided by informed, stakeholder-driven action.
