Subject to this section, a licence or any other environmental authorisation must not be granted, renewed or varied under the Environment Protection Act 1993 so as to authorise the use after 31 December 2000 of Wingfield as a depot for the reception or disposal of waste.

A licence or any other environmental authorisation granted, renewed or varied under the Environment Protection Act 1993 before the commencement of this Act that authorises the use after 31 December 2000 of Wingfield as a depot for the reception (except for recycling or waste transfer purposes) or disposal of waste ceases to have effect after that date.

If, before the first anniversary of the commencement of this Act, the operator has prepared and the Minister has adopted a Landfill Environmental Management Plan under Part 3 in relation to Wingfield, the Authority must, on application by the operator under the Environment Protection Act 1993, grant or renew a licence authorising the use after 31 December 2000 of Wingfield as a depot for the reception and disposal of waste.

The licence—

must implement, and be consistent with, the Landfill Environmental Management Plan;

must not authorise the use after 31 December 2004 of Wingfield as a depot for the reception (except for recycling or waste transfer purposes) or disposal of waste.

Subject to subsection (6) a licence or any other environmental authorisation must not be granted, renewed or varied under the Environment Protection Act 1993 so as to authorise the use after 31 December 2004 of Wingfield as a depot for the reception or disposal of waste.

Nothing in this section prevents the Authority from granting, renewing or varying a licence or any other environmental authorisation so as to authorise the use of Wingfield as a depot for the reception of waste for recycling or waste transfer purposes.
