The State government made an advance payment to Council in June 2019 to mitigate the impacts on households
for 2019-20 of the State Waste Levy, which takes effect from 1 July 2019. The Council will be liable to the State for
payment of the Levy on most forms of commercial and household waste delivered to its disposal sites from 1 July
2019. The State is required to make an annual payment to the Council that essentially refunds the Council for the
portion of the Levy that relates to households. Council will fund the portion of the Levy that relates to commercial
waste through charges to commercial users of disposal sites from 1 July 2019. As the receipt from the State in
June 2019 is for a refund of Council’s 2019-20 Levy expense, the full amount has been recognised as a liability at
30 June 2019.
