Strategy

Increase Landfill Levies

Re-Invest

Policy Drivers

Page 4: Impacts of the  HazWaste  Fund on Hazardous Waste in Victoria

Increased Landfill Levies

• Category A: banned from landfill

• Category B: $250/tonne

• Category C: $70/tonne

• Levy administered by EPA Victoria

Page 5: Impacts of the  HazWaste  Fund on Hazardous Waste in Victoria

Policy Drivers

• Review of the regulations• Prescribed Industrial Waste (PIW) defined by

hazard, not a list• Focus on resource efficiency, enhancing reuse

& recycling• Reduced administrative burden associated with

reuse and recycling

Reduce Volume Reduce Hazard Remediate Soils

Re-invest

Page 7: Impacts of the  HazWaste  Fund on Hazardous Waste in Victoria

Three key investment areas

• Infrastructure and implementation projects• Research, development and demonstration projects• Knowledge and capacity-building projects

Page 8: Impacts of the  HazWaste  Fund on Hazardous Waste in Victoria

HazWaste Fund - who can apply?

Organisations that:• Dispose hazardous waste to landfill

• Generate solid or liquid hazardous waste

• Treat, recycle, remediate or reuse hazardous wastes

• Own or develop partially or fully contaminated land

And also:• Consultants and research organisations

• Technology owners

• Hazardous waste landfill owners and operators

Page 9: Impacts of the  HazWaste  Fund on Hazardous Waste in Victoria

HazWaste Fund – Funding process

• Stage 1 application: brief form outlining the key details of the project

• Stage 2 application: more detailed submission (technical, budget, timelines, project plan, etc.)

• Approval: External panel + ministerial sign off

• Funding agreement

• Project management

Page 10: Impacts of the  HazWaste  Fund on Hazardous Waste in Victoria

HazWaste Fund - Showing you the money

• $30 million to commit over 4 years (2008-12)• Over 65 projects awarded funding (co-

investment)• Spent to date: $9 million • Firm commitments: $12 million• Up to $9 million still available• Stage 1 applications accepted up until June

Amongst all HWF projects…

• Over 65,000 tonnes have been diverted fromlandfill since the HazWaste Fund began

• Over 30,000 tonnes per annum anticipated to be diverted over the next few years

• Over 230,000 tonnes per annum of contaminated soils could be remediated over next few years.
