      Stakeholder                                                    Impacts


  Council               If Chapter 5A and section 7 expire and Council does not make the proposed local law:-
                        (a)    Council will be exposed to significant financial liability under its contractual
                               arrangements with its current waste collection contractor, which is responsible
                               for the conduct of general waste collection services in designated areas in
                               Council’s local government area. This is a moderate negative impact;
                        (b)    Council will continue to incur the costs associated with the administration of
                               waste management in Council’s local government area and the costs of
                               administration of waste management may increase if the owners and occupiers
                               of premises at which general waste is generated for collection (including
                               commercial premises in particular) elect not to use the waste management
                               collection services offered by Council. This is a low negative impact;
                        (c)    Council will not incur costs associated with the enforcement of either Chapter 5A
                               or the proposed local law, but will still be responsible for the regulation of waste
                               management. This is a low negative impact;
                        (d)    Council anticipates an increase in the number of waste collection vehicle
