Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011

This section applies to the operator of a levyable waste disposal site if—

the site is in the non-levy zone; and

either—

from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019—at least 300 tonnes of levyable waste, generated outside the non-levy zone, is received at the site; or

from 1 January 2020—at least 600 tonnes of levyable waste, generated outside the non-levy zone, is received at the site during a year.

The operator of the levyable waste disposal site must—

ensure that a volumetric survey is carried out between 1 January and 30 June of the following year for—

each active landfill cell at the site; and

all stockpiled waste at the site; and

give the chief executive a copy of the results of the survey before the end of July in the following year.

The volumetric survey must be carried out in compliance with the requirements applying for volumetric surveys under section 70.

This section continues to apply to the operator—

regardless of whether waste may no longer be delivered to the site; and

even if the site ceases to be a levyable waste disposal site.

However, if a matter mentioned in subsection (4) happens, the carrying out of the survey and the giving of a copy of the results to the chief executive may happen earlier than when otherwise required under subsection (2).

This section does not apply to a small site until 1 June 2022.
