                       Chapter 6 Strategic planning for waste reduction and recycling
                               Part 2 Local government strategic planning forwaste
                                                                     [s 128]
             (b)   the reasons why it is necessary for the plan to be
                   prepared;
             (c)   that  the  local  government    may   make    a  written
                   submission to the chief executive about the chief
                   executive’s intention to prepare the plan;
             (d)   that the submission must be received by the chief
                   executive within 28 days after the local government
                   receives the notice (the submission period).
        (4)  The local government’s written submission may include
             details of actions the local government intends to take to
             ensure it complies with its waste reduction and recycling plan
             obligation.
        (5)  If after the submission period ends, and the consideration of
             any submissions, the chief executive still proposes to prepare
             the plan, the chief executive must give the local government
             an information notice for the chief executive’s decision to
             prepare the plan.
        (6)  The chief executive must prepare and adopt the plan, to the
             greatest practicable extent, as if it were the local government.
             Example—
               The chief executive must consult on, and publicise, the plan to the same
               extent the local government would have been required to consult and
               publicise.
        (7)  The plan, as prepared and adopted by the chief executive, has
             effect as, and may be taken to be, a waste reduction and
             recycling plan prepared and adopted by the local government,
             and must be implemented by the local government             in
             accordance with its terms.
        (8)  The local government must reimburse the chief executive for
             all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the
             chief executive in acting under this section.
        (9)  An amount owing under subsection (8) may be recovered by
             the chief executive from the local government as a debt
             payable by the local government to the State, and may at the
             chief executive’s discretion be retained from any amount
