ITEM 8

CE6/22 - IPART Domestic Waste Management Charge Review

Additional information with  NO CHANGE"   to Recommendation

Since the finalisation of Director’s Report No. CE6/22, Council staff have finalised the draft Council submission pertaining to IPARTs’ proposal to regulate NSW councils’ Domestic Waste Management Charges.

The draft submission, shown at Attachment 1. is now provided and supports Director’s Report No. CE6/22.  There is no change to the recommendation printed in the business paper.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT Council:

1.         Note that IPART propose to regulate NSW councils’ Domestic Waste Management Charges where individual councils exceed the “waste peg” and IPART do not accept a council’s justification for the DWMC increase.

2.         Note the significant ongoing adverse impacts the IPART draft decisions are likely to have on Council’s domestic waste management services and other waste services.

3.         Note the budget impact of cost shifting approximately $2.3M for transferring corporate overheads and other waste services to the general fund budget under an SRV.

4.         Endorse the submission to IPART provided at Attachment 1 to Director’s Report No. CE6/22, raising concerns about their Draft Decisions including the proposed introduction of a “waste peg” and incremental cost methodology for corporate overheads.

5.         Provide a copy of its IPART submission to the NSW Government, local Members of Parliament, the Treasurer, Minister for Local Government and other relevant stakeholders.

6.         Call on the NSW Government and Minister for Local Government to undertake a review of the Local Government Act 1993 - Section 496 and OLG Rates and Revenue Raising Manual, 2007 to modernise the scope of DWM Services to include contemporary waste services in consultation with local government.
