Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011

The entity having responsibility for the operation of a resource recovery area must, in compliance with the requirements stated in this section—

within the period of 14 days immediately preceding 1 December 2011, ensure that a volumetric survey is carried out for all stockpiled waste on the area; and

before the end December 2011, give the chief executive a copy of the results of the survey in the approved form.

The volumetric survey must be performed in compliance with the requirements prescribed under a regulation.

The results of the volumetric survey must—

be in electronic form; and

include a topographical plan complying with specifications advised by the chief executive; and

include advice of the following—

the area of the resource recovery area;

the stockpiles of waste on the area; and

be certified as accurate by a surveyor under the Surveyors Act 2003.

The entity having responsibility for a resource recovery area must ensure that a copy of the results of the volumetric survey is kept as a document in hard copy form at the levyable waste disposal site whose operator declared the resource recovery area for 5 years after the survey is performed.

Subsections (6) and (7) apply if the entity having responsibility for a resource recovery area fails to comply with subsection (1).

The chief executive may arrange for the volumetric survey to be carried out at the resource recovery area and for that purpose may direct an authorised person to enter the resource recovery area and carry out the survey.

The chief executive may recover the cost of the survey from the entity as a debt payable by the entity to the State.
