The 2023 survey on Local Government’s Facilitation of Regional and Remote circularity offers a comprehensive comparison between the Circular Economy (CE) activities, challenges, and innovations of 96 urban and regional/remote local governments in Australia. This research reveals significant disparities in materials of concern, levels of CE initiative implementation, and the maturity of these initiatives, underscoring the necessity for place-based, tailored approaches to enhance circular transitions across different geographic contexts.
