Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011

The operator of a waste disposal site for which a resource recovery area has been declared may amend the area’s declaration as a resource recovery area by giving the chief executive notice of the proposed amendment at least 20 days before the amendment is to take effect.

The notice must—

be in the approved form; and

state the day the amendment takes effect; and

if the recycling activities to be conducted in the amended resource recovery area differ from the activities currently carried out in the area—include a description of the recycling activities to be conducted in the amended resource recovery area; and

be accompanied by a plan of the waste disposal site indicating the amended resource recovery area and clearly showing—

the physical barrier between the area and the rest of the site; and

the points of access allowing vehicles to move between the area and the rest of the site; and

be signed by the operator and any other entity that will be responsible for the area.

The operator need not act under subsection (1) if the only change to the resource recovery area is a change to—

the recycling activities conducted in the area; or

the physical barrier or points of access for the area that do not change the boundaries of the area; or

the entity having responsibility for the operation of the area.

If an amendment of a resource recovery area under this section results in a part of the area being within the levyable waste disposal site—

that part of the area becomes part of the site; and

all waste within that part of the area is, for the purposes of the waste levy, taken to be waste delivered to the site.
