The NSW Government is undertaking a major review of the WMMAct. AEBN®prepared this submission based on comments from our NSW Policy Reference Group. The main issues for industry include the poor handling of future solid and hazardous waste management planning. Especially concerning is the high costs of disposal of solid wastes and the diminishing infrastructure for hazardous waste management.
Issues such as the Waste Boards and the use of the Waste Levy are also addressed. A major recommendation is the formation of new single waste management entity for NSW to replace the Waste Boards and take on part of the EPA’s functions in waste management.
