  currently being collected at kerbside and
  recovery rates
• Current Kerbside Collection Systems current
  kerbside collection systems and bins in use
• Kerbside Reprocessor Contract Dates review of
  current kerbside reprocessor contract expiry
  dates
• New Collection System Scenarios comparison of
  current inner and outer municipal collection
  services and diversion rates

Existing infrastructure future capacities

• MWMG have assessed current key facilities
  receiving kerbside materials for recovery
• The assessment reviewed key facilities and
  possible future capacities. These included
• Materials Recovery Facilities

Council Clusters

• MWMG has assessed the opportunity to cluster
  councils to provide a consolidation of materials
  for potential future Resource Recovery Facilities
  (RRF)
• Clusters based on waste types and tonnage
  generations
• Geographic location of member councils within the
  clusters
• Assessment of existing RRF
• Previous Metropolitan Waste Management Group
  boundaries

12
Potential Resource Recovery Facilities

• Future RRF will potentially need to handle
• Dry Waste
• Wet Waste
• Green/Food
• Bin collection systems need to be considered in
  conjunction with the processing facilities eg 3
  bin 2 bin (inner outer)

13
Potential Resource Recovery Facility issues

• MWMG understands the future of any RRF will only
  be viable if a number of the current hurdles are
  cleared these include
• RRF Gate Fee parity with landfill rates
• Appropriate planning sitting of facilities
• Confidence that facility can provide on all
  commitments
• Security to Council that operators are committed
  for the long term and beyond the life of the
  existing contract
• Procurement of RRF needs to ensure minimal risk
  to councils

14
Procurement of waste services

• EPA Act
• MWMG is required to plan, coordinate and
  facilitate metropolitan councils procurement of
  waste management and resource recovery services
• Procurement Guidelines
• Steering Committee in place
• Workshop planned for Nov 2007
• Guidelines due to be completed by early 2008

15
Procurement implementation issues

• Siting facilities - selection criteria
• Resolving waste stream issues
• Finalising procurement guidelines
• Community consultation
• Strategic and statutory land use planning
  approvals
• Environmental approvals
• Independent due diligence around combination of
  technologies (hardware) and collection regime
• Risk sharing between State, LG and proponent

16
Possible new facility locations

• Hyder Consulting have carried out the assessment
  of options - Analysis of Options for the
  Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery
  Strategic plan

Review of Waste transfer and recyclingfacility
provisions in planning schemes

• The four key areas for review are
• The appropriateness of the existing definitions
  for waste transfer stations and materials
  recycling facilities
• The appropriateness of the land use controls
  applying to these facilities
• The effectiveness of the mechanisms available to
  ensure these facilities comply with regulatory
  requirements
• Any other matter that the Advisory Committee
  considers will improve outcomes

Looking Forward

• This section looks at a broad range of issues
  that will impact on the potential development of
  future reprocessing facilities
• For any potential future technology the following
  will also need to be addressed
• Local government industry buy-in
• Landfill gate fee
• Carbon trading
• Community engagement
• Market development

Outline Metropolitan Landfill Schedule

• Part 3 Metropolitan Landfill Schedule
• Legislation
• Waste Management Policy
• Consultation to date
• Historic trends
• Northwest and southeast airspace
• Summary of key issues

22
Landfill Schedule - Legislation

• Preparation of Schedule is required in
  Environment Protection Act the schedule is
  required to
• specify the proposed sequence for the filling of
  available landfill sites for at least the next 10
  years
• include a program for replacing and
  rehabilitating existing landfill sites
• list the intended or likely date of closure of
  each landfill site
• identify options for future landfill capacity
• The new schedule will cover 10 years from 2008 to
  2017

23
Waste Management Policy

• Key elements of the Waste Management Policy in
  formulating the Schedule
• 8 (1) Integration of Economic, Social and
  Environmental Considerations measures adopted
  must be cost effective and proportionate to
  environmental problems
• Intent of the Policy is to minimise development
  and use of landfills
• Policy sets out siting criteria that were used to
  developing rankings

24
Consultation to Date

• General Industry Briefings April 07
• Issues Workshops July 07
• Briefing on landfill schedule July 07
• Expressions of Interest process Aug 07
• Consultation with targeted groups Sept-Dec 07
• Landfill Vic, Vic WMAA etc
• Local government
• Adjacent Regional Waste Management Groups
• Consultants and site owners on request

Key Points

• Increasing trend of transport from east to west
  in particular solid inert wastes
• Current scheduled sites provide adequate space
  for scheduled period (2008-2017)
• Another solid inert site may be required towards
  end of scheduled period
• If suitable sites are available and need exists,
  a new site is preferable to transportation over
  long distances
