Stage 2 Consultation: Draft Scheme Guidelines

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.
