Presentations from Australia's leading Waste Conference, May 02 ~ 04 2017 held in Coffs Harbour, NSW.

1. Towards a NSW waste and
resource recovery infrastructure
strategy
2017-2021

Robbie Beale
Manager Waste & Recycling Infrastructure

2. 2
Expanding our strategic approach
• Understanding existing infrastructure
• Estimating waste generation
• Assessing infrastructure need
• Grant funding and appropriate regulation
• Invite private and public sector proposals
• Allow time for approval & construction
• Integration with regional WARR plans
• Facilitating secure supply at appropriate scale
• Facilitating suitable sites and private investment

3. 1. Classify and define resource recovery facility
types
2. Develop an Asset Register
3. Calculate waste generation by sector and facility
type 2011-2021
4. Calculate the GAP in tonnes and number of facilities
5. Examine region by region

Assessing infrastructure need

4. WaRR Strategy landfill diversion targets 2014–21
Municipal
waste 70%
(from 66% in
2014/15)
C&I
70%
(from 63%
in 2014/15)
C&D
80%
(from 76%
in 2014/15)

5. • Large portion of information voluntarily reported
by owners/operators
• Waste generation constant 2011-2021
• Based on achieving landfill diversion targets
• Only 4.6 M tonnes/year landfilled in 2021
• Moderate (metro) to high (regional) levels of
source separation assumed
• Focus on “first point of receival”
• Assumes “approved” facilities will be built
