Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011

From 1 June 2020, this section applies for a resource recovery area for a waste disposal site in the waste levy zone.

The entity having responsibility for the operation of the resource recovery area must, in each year—

ensure that a volumetric survey is carried out in June for all stockpiled waste at the resource recovery area; and

give the chief executive a copy of the results of the volumetric survey in the approved form before the end of July.

The volumetric survey must be carried out in compliance with the requirements prescribed by regulation.

The results of the volumetric survey must—

be in electronic form; and

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

include details of the following—

the area of the resource recovery area;

the stockpiles of waste, including recyclable waste, at the area; and

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

This section continues to apply to the entity having responsibility for the operation of the resource recovery area even if the declaration of the area as a resource recovery area is cancelled or revoked.

However, if a matter mentioned in subsection (5) 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 resource recovery area for a small site until 1 June 2022.
