‘On Tuesday, 14 July 2026, the Committee will visit tyre recycling, retreading and research facilities across Sydney.
‘The following day, on Wednesday, 15 July 2026, the Committee will hear from a range of organisations at a public hearing, including those involved in the tyre, motoring and mining industries. Among those appearing is the Australian Tyre Industry Council, the peak industry body for tyres.’
