2018-06-27 SM - Attachment 1 to Item 2 - Directions Paper Transforming Queensland's Recycling & Waste Industry

     The way forward
     A waste disposal levy will come into effect
     in the first quarter of 2019
     Significant preparatory work is required to implement the new levy. The
     legislative and regulatory framework, including a detailed levy model, needs
     to be drafted, consulted on with stakeholders and progressed through the
     required approval processes.

     Additionally, landfill infrastructure, such as weighbridges and security fencing,
     needs to be made ‘levy-ready’. Industry and government information technology
     systems need to be redeveloped and made able to ‘interface’ with each other so
     waste can be measured and the levy owed to be calculated. Staff training and
     broader awareness and education needs to be developed and delivered.

     Stakeholders will be consulted throughout this process.
