A INTRODUCE PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT PP WASTE ISSUES
As this was the first meeting attended by JoH and MDC there was an introduction session by
JoH on her involvement with Petersham Park waste issues since 2005
JoH produced a letter dated 02 May 2005 to RIchard SAGE Marrickville Council
"Trial for recycling bins at Petersham Park with sporting clubs and pool"
This letter confirmed Council's concerns about people placing recycling materials in separate
waste bins and just using the bins for all waste
The Council then agreed to provide a separate waste bin with a chain and a number of keys for
the various managers of different sports clubs and the pool manager to use
However the keys became lost and clubs no longer used to sort the waste
JoH asked how many bins would be requited and SGG suggested 4 different types
1 Red for aluminium foils, nappies, glass containers and other waste
2 Blue for papers bags, cardboard and paper
3 Yellow for bottles and cans
4 Green for dog-poo, leaves, grass cuttings and food waste
The problem is at week-ends and during hot weather when the bins become full hence the
importance of having local residents like Jo monitoring the bins
SGG said FTC had sent an article about a Biogas Plant being installed to handle shop-keeper
waste at Marketplace LEICHHARDT - there was a charge for that service
SGG to try to arrange meeting next week at Marketplace LEICHHARDT to review plant and
inputs/outputs
B IDENTIFY POSSIBLE ENHANCED WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
MDC outlined a number of Waste Management practices with which she had been involved
SyT said it was important to have a flow chart so that consumers could see for example where
the hard and soft plastics can be used as they can be re-used in many areas
MDC said Council would be very interested if someone is prepared to say to Council we will look
after all the waste issues in Petersham Park
At a discussion before MDC and JoH arrived SyT and SGG discussed the logistics issues of
someone collecting the waste and disposing of it to the appropriate places
SyT said it would probably involve someone being employed Au$35/hr for 2 x 6 hrs days
$ 420/wk or Au $ 21,840 per annum
C CONFIRM HAND-OUT ISSUES FOR FOOTPRINTS ECOFESTIVAL SUN 25 AUG 2019
SyT said at this stage it was probably best just to have form to sign if people are
interested in getting involved with enhanced waste practices

EXTRACT FROM FED GOVERNMENT WASTE AND RECYCLING REPORT/CHP 04 2018-12-14
The impact of levies on changing ratepayer behaviour
4.36 The committee received evidence indicating that waste levies have a limited impact on
reducing the waste generated by ratepayers, as they have no direct financial
incentive to reduce waste going to landfill.
4.37 Local councils are responsible for paying waste levies on behalf of ratepayers, and this is
then recovered through household rates. GCS Consulting stated that the estimated household
contribution to the New South Wales waste levy payment is between 10 and 20 per cent of the
total rates liability.
It cited a 2012 KPMG report on the New South Wales waste levy which stated that:
Because home owners are charged a flat fee for their waste, they do not receive any financial
benefit from reducing the amount of waste they produce at the individual household level, even
hough all households would benefit if they collectively reduced waste.[43]
4.38 The Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (NSROC) submitted that the New
South Wales waste levy does not provide a 'reward or incentive for better waste management
behaviour, other than a minor reduction in the waste charge for using a smaller red bin in
some council areas'. This is because:
Waste management charges to residents reflect the actual costs to councils of delivering waste
services.
These charges are applied across the entire community and are not adjusted for actual
consumption of waste services by an individual household.[44]
4.39 Similarly, the Brisbane City Council , in considering the introduction of a waste levy in
Queensland, submitted that:
A levy is not effective on domestic waste generators as the price signal is not able to be
passed on through the rates directly...
Applying a landfill levy to domestic waste is challenging as residents cannot avoid the levy in a
domestic setting.
Council does not have a pay-as-you throw style of charging so residents are all charged equally.[45]
4.40 Other local government authorities support this view with the Adelaide Hills Region Waste
Management Authority (AHRWMA) arguing that waste disposal levies do 'not act as a direct
driver for the community to reduce waste generation or increase recycling habits' because
any increase in waste levies is 'covered by general rate revenue'.[46]
4.41 GCS Consulting recommended that any jurisdiction seeking to introduce a waste levy should,
at a minimum:
require local governments to introduce weight-based charging to permit its ratepayers to reduce
their rate liability.
This is based on the user-pays principle where the more a household throws out, the more they
contribute to disposal charges and the state government tax.[47]
