Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011

This section applies for a resource recovery area declared for a 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 resource recovery area; or

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

The entity having responsibility for the operation of the resource recovery area must—

before the end of June of the following year, ensure a volumetric survey is carried out for all stockpiled waste at the resource recovery area; and

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

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 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 declared for a small site until 1 June 2022.
