The waste levy payments received by the Council in its role as a territorial authority are in the region of $135k each year. These funds are used to support the costs associated with the Resource Recovery Centre capital expenditure of $1.6 million back in 2009/10. This situation will continue during the term of this WMMP notwithstanding any change in government legislation on how waste levy money should be allocated. The expansion of recycling services to rural communities and the establishment of the CIF noted at point 6.1 will rely on the resource recovery centre to provide an outlet for diverted material processing. The Resource Recovery Centre currently processes in the region of 4,500 tonnes per annum. 7. Monitoring and reporting progress The progress of the WMMP will be co-ordinated through the Council Assets and Services Department. The main contact will be the Solid Waste Manager, reporting to the Operations and Maintenance Engineer. 7.1 Monitoring The Council will monitor the effectiveness of the WMMP by the collection and analysis of data from the following sources: • Bluegums Landfill tonnage data from Contract No 2011/06. • Waste Management and Minimisation Services contract 2013/13 including waste and recycling volumes and tonnages processed through the transfer stations and the proposed CIF. • Hazardous waste volumes from Contract No 2012/40. • Composting operation (current). This aligns to the LTP which will list similar criteria when measuring resident satisfaction. Each of the WMMP options will contribute towards a reduction in the amount waste sent to landfill which will be highlighted in the above sources of data. The SWAP assessment will also be used to provide data on current incoming wastes to the landfill. This analysis will assist in the material diversion projections associated with the composting and rural recycling collection options. The SWAP assessment will also be used to monitor the Unique Emission Factors (UEF) already established for the Bluegums landfill waste composition and gas destruction. Weighbridges installed at the CIF will provide an accurate record of the diversion levels at this facility. The reporting software will record all incoming mixed loads and all outgoing diverted materials and landfill waste. Comparing the amount of waste sent to landfill from the CIF against the overall tonnage throughput will allow the calculation of the diversion level. Initial contract estimates have set this target at 60% by the June 2017. 7.2 Reporting The reporting associated with the various contracts is in the form of spreadsheets that indicate the monthly and year to date cumulative total of a particular activity. Reporting spreadsheets are currently received on the following: • Regional Transfer Stations (RTS ) – this includes data on the number of site users, gate fees, volumes and tonnage of refuse, volumes of reccling and numbers of Council bagsy received.
