                                                                                                         3
                               (a)      by resolution, designate areas within its local government area in
                                        which the local government may conduct general waste or green
                                        waste collection; and
                               (b)      decide the frequency of general waste or green waste collection in
                                        the designated areas.

              Division 2             General waste

              Subdivision 1          Storage of general waste

              6        Owner or occupier of premises to supply waste containers
                       (1)     The owner or occupier of premises must—
                               (a)      subject to subsection (2), supply standard general waste containers
                                        at the premises as—
                                        (i)   are necessary to contain the general waste produced at the
                                              premises; or
                                        (11)  are prescribed by subordinate local law; or
                               (b)      supply at the premises, waste containers, other than standard
                                        general waste containers, as—
                                        (i)   if required by the local government — are necessary to
                                              contain the general waste produced at the premises; or
                                        (11)  are prescribed by subordinate local law.
                               Examples of ways the local government may require waste containers for paragraph
                               L(b)—
                               by a resolution of the local government or a development approval for the premises
                               Maximum penalty — 20 penalty units.
                       (2)     However, subsection (1)(a) does not apply if the local government supplies
                               to the premises the number of standard general waste containers the local
                               government reasonably considers is required at the premises.
                       (3)     If the local government supplies a standard general waste container to
                               premises under subsection (2), the reasonable cost of supplying the
                               container is a debt payable by the owner or occupier of the premises to the
                               local government.
                       (4)     However, subsection (3) does not prevent the local government from
                               supplying a standard general waste container to premises without cost to the
                               owner or occupier of the premises.

                                                                                                  Page 12 of 79
