TPSS Guidelines Consultation
Have Your Say
Over the past twelve months, TSA has undertaken targeted consultation with industry and key stakeholders (Stage 1), seeking feedback on the current voluntary Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme guidelines through a discussion paper.
This process identified several areas for potential improvement, including:
- potential changes to how Scheme levies are calculated
- clearer alignment of contributor and participant categories with the tyre supply chain
Feedback received during Stage 1 has informed the development of draft revised guidelines. These draft guidelines reflect stakeholder input and are now being shared for broader public consultation.
Consultation process
This consultation represents Stage 2 of TSA’s public consultation process and is focused on gathering broader feedback on the draft revised guidelines.
TSA welcomes input from industry participants, businesses, government, and the wider community to help ensure the guidelines are practical, effective, and aligned with the Scheme’s objectives.
How to participate
Submissions are invited from members of the public, industry participants, and other interested parties.

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.

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 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.
For comments or queries about the Committees, please contact advisory@tyrestewardship.org.au
