                       (1)      Subject to subsection (2), the occupier of serviced premises must ensure that
                                a waste container supplied for the premises is kept—
                                (a)      if the local government requires the container to be kept at a
                                         particular place at the premises — at the place (the waste container
                                         storage place); or
                                Examples of ways the local government may require waste containers to be kept at a
                                particular place —
                                by a resolution of the local government or a development approval for the premises

                                (b)      if a subordinate local law requires the container to be kept at a
                                         particular place at the premises — at the place (also a waste
                                         container storage place), or
                                (c)      if paragraphs lay and|(b) do not apply — at ground level close to
                                         the rear alignment of a building at the premises.
                                Maximum penalty — 20 penalty units.
                       (2)      Subsection (1) does not prevent the occupier of the serviced premises from
                                placing a waste container in a place outside the premises for the collection
                                of general waste from the container, if—
                                (a)      the local government has arranged to collect waste from the
                                         container at the place; and
                                (b)      the container is in the place for no longer than—
                                         (1)   the period, if any, allowed under a local law of the local
                                               government; or
                                         (11)  24 hours before or after the scheduled collection day for the
                                               collection of the waste in the container.
                                Example of a place outside serviced premises—
                                the kerb adjacent to the serviced premises

                       (3)      If the local government has arranged for the collection of general waste
                                from a waste container at serviced premises, the occupier of the premises
                                must ensure there is unobstructed access to the container for removal of the
                                waste.
                                Maximum penalty for subsection (3) — 20 penalty units.
                       (4)      It is a defence in the proceeding against a person for an offence under
                                subsection (3) for the person to prove the contravention was due to causes
                                over which the person had no control.

                                                                                                    Page 14 of 79
