South Australian Current Regulations South Australian Current Regulations82—Special provision for certain councils for waste fees
(1) This regulation
only applies to a council if—
(a) the
whole of the council area is outside of metropolitan Adelaide; and
(b) all
of the waste disposed of at depots operated by the council has been brought to
the depots from premises situated outside of metropolitan Adelaide; and
(c) each
depot operated by the council disposes of less than 10 000 tonnes of
solid waste at the depot in any financial year.
(2) For the purpose of
determining the levy payable by a council under section 113 of the Act in
respect of solid waste received at all depots operated by the council, the
council may elect, by written notice to the Authority—
(a) not
to comply with regulations 74 and 75 in respect of solid waste disposed
of at those depots; and
(b) to
take the mass of solid waste received during each month at those depots to be
the mass determined in accordance with the following formula:
where—
"M" is the mass of solid waste in tonnes
"P" is the population of the area of the council as at the previous
30 June as given by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in its
publication "Regional Population Growth, Australia" (Catalogue No. 3218.0).
(3) If a council makes
an election under this regulation, regulations 74 and 75 do not apply in
respect of solid waste and other matter received, used or disposed of at, or
transported from, any depot operated by that council.
(4) If a council
satisfies the Authority that recycling is operating in a council area so that
waste disposed of to landfill is reduced by a certain proportion, the levy
payable by the council is reduced by subtracting that proportion from the levy
that would otherwise be payable by the council as determined in accordance
with this regulation.
