Division 5Other provisions11KWeight measurement criteria for measuring waste or other material other than by weighbridge(1)This section prescribes the weight measurement criteria to be used to measure waste or other material required to be measured under section 59 of the Act.(2)The weight measurement criteria to measure the weight of the waste or other material is based on the GVM or GCM of the type of vehicle used to deliver or move the waste or other material unless—

(a)all of the waste or other material is contained in a container during the delivery or movement; andExamples—agricultural bin, cane haulout bin, skip bin, wheelie bin

(b) the capacity of the container—

(i)is written on, or attached to, the container in a clearly visible place; or

(ii)is evidenced by a document from the container’s manufacturer; or

(iii)can be measured by reference to the dimensions of the container.

(3)If the waste or other material is delivered or moved in a vehicle, the weight of the waste or other material is taken to be the weight, in tonnes, mentioned in schedule 4, table 1, columns 3 to 11, opposite the type of vehicle and the relevant waste or other material and depending on the GVM or GCM of the vehicle.(4)However, if the weight of the waste or other material for subsection (3) is more than the mass limit applying to the vehicle under the Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation, schedules 1 and 2 (the mass limit of the vehicle), the weight of the waste or other material is taken to be the mass limit of the vehicle.(5)Subsection (6) applies if—

(a)the waste or other material is contained in containers during the delivery or movement; and

(b)the containers comply with the requirements of subsection (2)(a) and (b).

(6)The weight, in tonnes, of the waste or other material is worked out by multiplying the total capacity of the containers, in cubic metres, by the weight multiplier mentioned in schedule 4, table 2, column 3, opposite the type of waste.Examples—

1A truck delivers a skip bin containing C&I. The skip bin has a capacity of 10 cubic metres. The volume of the waste in the skip bin is less than half the capacity of the skip bin. The weight of the waste is taken to be 0.8t.

2A truck delivers a skip bin containing C&I. The skip bin has a capacity of 10 cubic metres. The volume of the waste in the skip bin is more than half the capacity of the skip bin. The weight of the waste is taken to be 1.5t.

11LAnnual payments to local governments—Act, s 73D(1)For section 73D(1) of the Act, the annual payment to be made to each local government affected by the waste levy is a payment for a financial year worked out using the following formula—where—A is the total weight, in tonnes, of municipal solid waste generated in the local government’s local government area, other than excluded waste, that is delivered to a levyable waste disposal site in the levy zone in the financial year that is 2 years before the financial year in which the annual payment is made (the waste generation year).Note—The A value for each local government area is published on the department’s website.B is the waste levy rate mentioned in schedule 1 opposite the type of waste for the financial year.C is an adjustment made by the chief executive for the projected population change in the local government area between the waste generation year and the next financial year. Note—The C adjustment value for each local government area is published on the department’s website.P is the amount of the annual payment payable to the local government for the financial year.(2)However, if an annual payment payable to a local government relates to a period that is less than a financial year, a pro rata amount of the annual payment is payable for the financial year.(3)In this section—Cairns Bedminster facility see section 309 of the Act. excluded waste means—

(a)exempt waste; or

(b)food and green waste mixtures delivered to a waste disposal site separately from other waste; or

(c)green waste delivered to a waste disposal site separately from other waste; or
