Weighbridge locations have been selected based on site layout, as part of the Masterplanning process. The
anticipated weighbridge passes are provided in Table 4. Through the provision of multiple weighbridges, the
pressure on the current single weighbridge is alleviated, where possible all streams not requiring
weighbridge pass have been allocated a bypass, please refer to the Design Decisions Register (refer
Appendix B). The anticipated passes are based on data provided by NSC for November 2023, a
conservative sensitivity estimate is provided for 120% of the passes, limited seasonal or monthly variation
advised by NSC.

Currently, there are a significant number of internal movements that pass over the weighbridge from RRA1
to another location in RRA1 and from RRA1 to the landfill. The waste materials moved include steel, treated
timber, landfill, and clean fill. Steel is the sole of these streams not taken to landfill. There is not an
associated cost payable to NSC for these movements, or purpose to weighing these movements, such as
quantity tracking or otherwise. Hence, this traffic has mostly been removed from the weighbridge passing
volume. At the time of preparing this report, the WMC services contract was not available for review of
services required, hence it is not known if there are service payments for WMC associated with internal
movement of waste. In terms of NSC waste charges, all waste to transfer stations and RRA1 areas are
weighed upon entry to site and there are no further applicable payments for this waste. Materials removed
from site for offsite processing and as part of the sales operation (compost and crushed concrete) are
weighed at the outgoing weighbridge at the northern section of site (WB3).
Landfill waste from RRA1 to the landfill constitute the majority of internal movements for weighbridge passes,
required for the purposes of regulatory reporting of landfill waste quantities. Landfill cover material including
incorporated treated timber does not contribute to regulatory waste reporting, and internal movement of this
waste to landfill has been removed from weighbridge passes internally. Where NSC cannot confirm treated
timber (rather than untreated timber) inclusion to landfill cover material, this waste stream is also landfilled, in
this case vehicles transporting treated timber will be required to pass over a weighbridge for regulatory
reporting of quantity of landfilled waste. Similarly, clean fill received on site and transported to the landfill for
inclusion to cover materials, has not been considered to require internal weighing and vehicle movements
have been removed from weighbridge streams.
