  Potential owners

  for domestic        the public health, safety and amenity relating to waste management of potential owners
  purposes at         and occupiers of premises used for domestic purposes at which general waste is
  which general       generated may not be preserved. This is a low negative impact.
  waste is            If Chapter 5A and section 7 expire, and Council makes the proposed local law, the
  generated           public health, safety and amenity relating to waste management of potential owners and
                      occupiers of premises used for domestic purposes at which general waste is generated
                      will be preserved by the enforcement of the proposed local law by Council.
                      In summary, the analysis of the costs and benefits of moving to the alternative
                      arrangement, that is, not making the proposed local law, would result in a low
                      negative impact for this stakeholder.
  Potential owners    If Chapter 5A and section 7 expire, and Council does not make the proposed local law,
  and occupiers of    the public health, safety and amenity relating to waste management of potential owners
  commercial          and occupiers of commercial premises at which general waste is generated may not be

  waste is            If Chapter 5A and section 7 expire and Council makes the proposed local law, the public
  generated           health, safety and amenity relating to waste management of potential owners and
                      occupiers of commercial premises at which general waste is generated will be
                      preserved by the enforcement of the proposed local law by Council.
                      In summary, the analysis of the costs and benefits of moving to the alternative
                      arrangement, that is, not making the proposed local law, would result in a low
                      negative impact for this stakeholder.
  Waste collection    If Chapter 5A and section 7 expire, and Council does not make the proposed local law:-
  contractors
  (other than         (a)    waste collection contractors (other than Council’s contracted waste collection
  Council’s                  contractor) may collect general waste from premises which generate general
  contracted                 waste in Council’s local government area absent the restriction on competition
  waste collection           which flows from Chapter 5A and section 7. This is a moderate positive impact;
  contractor)         (b)    there is potential for the introduction of new fixed costs into the waste collection
  responsible for            industry (through an uplift in the number of operators providing services) that
  the collection of          would be defrayed over the same number of customers, increasing the average
  general waste              cost of service provision. This is a low negative impact;
  from premises,
  and in particular   (c)    the number of properties serviced and the waste tonnages to be collected will
  commercial                 become less certain (due to greater competition within a specified area), and a
  premises, which            contractor tendering to undertake waste collection services in Council’s local
  generate general           government area, would need to build a greater risk component into its tendered
  waste in                   prices in order to account for this uncertainty. This is a neutral impact;
  Council’s local     (d)    there would be increased potential for long haul transport of general waste,
  government area            including recyclables, for processing and disposal out of Council’s local
                             government area. This is a low negative impact.
                      If Chapter 5A and section 7 expire, and Council makes the proposed local law, waste
                      collection contractors (other than Council’s contracted waste collection contractor) may
                      collect general waste from premises which generate general waste in Council’s local
                      government area subject to the restriction on competition which flows from the making
                      of the proposed local law. This is a low negative impact because the making of the
                      proposed local law does not impact on Council’s power to levy utility charges under the
                      Local Government Act 2009.
                      In summary, the analysis of the costs and benefits of moving to the alternative
                      arrangement, that is, not making the proposed local law, would result in a low
                      positive impact for this stakeholder.
