Executive Summary The Western Australian Waste Strategy: “Creating the Right Environment” (2012) (the Waste Strategy)
acknowledges that resource development across the northwest of the State is placing pressure on
existing waste management systems due to difficulties in areas such as transport, infrastructure,
access to markets and funding. However, stakeholders from across the region’s waste
management industry recognise that the current systems may struggle to deal with future growth
and achieve sustainable outcomes for waste management. In order to assist in the development of
sustainable waste management systems it is vital that stakeholders, including the Waste Authority,
local governments and private industry, have access to accurate and consistent data. Talis
Consultants Pty Ltd (Talis) was engaged by the Waste Authority to undertake a Waste Data Study of
the Pilbara region and Shire of Broome (the Study Area).
The Pilbara region covers a total area of approximately 500,000 km2 in the north of Western Australia.
As a result of developments in resources operations, the Pilbara has experienced strong population
and economic growth, particularly in the last decade. The Shire of Broome is located north of the
Pilbara and is expected to undergo future growth as a result of development of oil and gas reserves
in the area along with the continuing growth in tourism.
This Study was undertaken to achieve the following key objectives:
• Assist in infrastructure planning and policy;
• Facilitate the advancement of waste management systems in the Study Area; and
• Provide a framework for the future management of waste data.
Methodology
To achieve the above objectives and to obtain a comprehensive picture of current waste
management systems within the Study Area, Talis reviewed practices across the entire life cycle
(from generation to treatment or disposal) of all key waste streams. A range of stakeholders,
including local governments, resource companies and private waste services providers, were
approached to provide data for the Study. As part of the data gathering process, Talis undertook a
visit of the Study Area and conducted meetings with participating stakeholders.
To assist with the consistency and accuracy of the data gathered, a three-level Waste Classification
System (WCS) was developed based on a review of existing national and international systems. The
WCS classified waste materials according to the following three levels:
• Stream - three traditional waste streams of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Commercial and
Industrial (C&I) waste and Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste;
• Sector - sector of the economy from which waste was generated; and
• Material Type - describing the composition of the waste.
The classification of waste by Sector is a new approach in Western Australia and was designed to
assist in the assessment of waste generation from different parts of the economy which could be
used to assist in future policy development.
To guide the analysis and presentation of the data, seven Sub-catchment Areas were formed
reflecting the key generation, treatment locations and waste flows within the Study Area. The Sub-
catchment Areas are:

A summary of annual per capita waste generation within each Sub-catchment Area and for the
whole Study Area is shown in Table E3. Waste generation per capita including the distribution
between the three streams was found to vary significantly across the Sub-catchment Areas. This was
predominantly due to the amount and phase of activities in the resource sector.

Waste Treatment
The majority of waste generated within the Study Area was disposed of to landfill, with 47% at public
landfills and 10% at on-site landfills. 38% of the waste generated was recycled, with the vast
majority being inert materials recycled at Karratha, complemented with additional materials
recycled outside of the Study Area such as metals and packaging materials. A breakdown of the
treatment of waste generated within the Study Area is shown in Figure E2.

Figure E2: Treatment of Waste Generated within the Study Area in 2011/12
Some waste materials were moved between Sub-catchment Areas for treatment, and
approximately 78,811 tonnes was removed from the Study Area for treatment and disposal in Perth,
interstate or overseas.
Projections
Future projections of waste quantities are usually related to population for MSW and to economic
activity and construction activities for C&I and C&D waste respectively. It is very difficult to estimate
future economic and construction related activities, particularly in regional areas where individual
projects can have a significant influence. However, given the geographical isolation, relatively small
population and typically large size of resource development projects within the Study Area,
population is strongly influenced by growth in the resources sector. Population was therefore
considered as the most reliable indicator for growth in waste generation across all three waste
streams despite its acknowledged limitations as an indicator for C&I and C&D wastes. As a
consequence waste generation was projected up to 2035 under the following three population
growth scenarios, based on current per capita waste generation rates:
• High growth rate - based on Pilbara Cities aspirational population, the Broome Community
Profile high growth scenario and additional waste from oil and gas developments in Onslow
and Broome;
• Existing growth rate - based on Australian Bureau of Statistics population data from 2001 to
2011; and
• Low growth rate - based on the Western Australian Planning Commission’s WA Tomorrow
projections.
The waste projections vary greatly between the high and low scenarios, indicating that, by 2035,
waste generation could increase slightly from current figures, or increase to over 1.5 million tonnes
per annum.

Figure E3: Projection of Waste Generation in the Study Area to 2035
Talis recommends that conservatism is adopted in the utilisation of the waste projections contained
within this report. The uncertainties in the population projections and the low correlation between
population and the generation of C&I and C&D wastes need to be recognised. The low correlation
is illustrated by the variation in the generation rates for these waste streams between the Sub-
catchment Areas.
Conclusions
• Total waste generation within the Study Area in 2011/12 was approximately 669,816 tonnes.
• Across the Study Area, 56% of total waste was generated from the C&D stream, 35% from
the C&I stream and 9% was MSW.
• A breakdown of waste generation by stream across the Study Area is shown in Figure E4. It
can be seen that the distribution of waste generation between key waste streams varies
significantly with the amount and phasing of commercial activities undertaken within each
Sub-catchment Area. A similar proportion to the State average of C&D was generated
across the Study Area, however a greater proportion of C&I waste and less MSW was
generated than the State averages.

Figure E4: Waste Generation Breakdown by Stream
• A total of 57% (378,162 tonnes) of waste generated within the Study Area was disposed of to
landfill, with 47% sent to public landfills and 10% at on-site facilities (including mine sites).
• The Study Area is therefore achieving an overall landfill diversion rate of 43%. The majority
(38%) is recycled, a large proportion of which occurs at the inert waste processing facility in
Karratha.
• The remaining 5% of total waste is diverted from landfill through greenwaste processing,
stockpiling and hazardous and thermal treatment.
• The landfill diversion rate is currently 16% in the MSW stream, 39% in the C&I stream and 50%
in the C&D stream.
• A total of 78,811 tonnes (12%) was exported from the Study Area for treatment in Perth,
interstate or overseas. The majority of the waste removed was sent for recycling, however
some was also exported for hazardous treatment or disposal.
• Population growth in the Study Area is strongly influenced by activity in the resource sector.
The uncertainty of long term growth projections for those sectors has resulted in growth
scenarios which give a wide range of future population estimates.
• Based on the high growth scenario, waste generation within the Study Area could increase to
1,531,756 tonnes by 2035.
Discussion
• The current waste management systems within the Study Area have a heavy reliance on
local landfills, many of which were established before the generation of modern best
practice siting, design and operating standards.
• There are 36 licenced landfills within the Study Area. The vast majority of these are unlined
isolated landfills on mine sites, with large clusters within the Tom Price and Newman Sub-
catchment Areas.
• The advancement of the resource sector has resulted in a number of issues for the current
waste management systems including a significant increase in the quantity and complexity
of the waste streams. In addition, the resource sector has expressed a desire for more
sustainable waste treatment systems.

• Significant inconsistencies were identified in the terminology and recording systems utilised to
report waste generation and treatment.
• If the high growth projections eventuated, significant alterations to the current waste
management systems would be required to appropriately manage these materials.
• Total per capita waste generation in all Sub-catchment Areas (excluding Broome) currently
exceeds the State average.
• To achieve the 2015 Waste Strategy targets, significant improvements in landfill diversion are
required for the MSW and C&I streams.
• Due to the C&D recycling facility, the Karratha Sub-catchment Area is already exceeding
the 2020 Waste Strategy target for the C&D stream. As a result, the Study Area is already
very close to achieving the 2015 target for the C&D stream.
Recommendations
Based on the findings of this Study, it is recommended that the Waste Authority:
• Considers strategies for encouraging the rationalisation of landfills within the Study Area.
• Considers the adoption and support of a Waste Classification System for Western Australia to
establish a framework for waste data gathering and reporting to ensure that there is
consistency across the industry. As part of this process, due consideration should be given to
the Waste Classification System devised as part of this Study.
• Considers improved reporting requirements for all waste facilities across the State to provide
waste data which is in accordance with the adopted Waste Classification System.

Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
1 Introduction
1.1 Background
The Pilbara region covers a total area of approximately 500,000 km2 in the north of Western Australia
and, due to the large resources industry in the region, plays a significant role in the Western Australian
economy. As a result of developments in resources operations, the Pilbara has experienced strong
population and economic growth, particularly in the last decade. In conjunction with this
development there has been an increase in the quantity of waste generated within the region and
an increased demand for waste management infrastructure to ensure that waste materials are
managed appropriately.
The Shire of Broome is located in the south west corner of the Kimberley Region and adjoins the
district of the Shire of East Pilbara to the south. The townsite of Broome is a significant tourism centre
providing a gateway to the rest of the Kimberley. Pastoral and pearling industries are also located in
Broome. While these industries have provided the basis of growth in Broome to date, there are
significant oil and gas reserves in the area. The Shire of Broome and the Broome townsite are
expecting to undergo future growth as a result of development of these resources and the
continuing growth in tourism. Development of an oil and gas industry in the Shire of Broome would
have a significant impact on the waste generated in the area. In addition to increasing the quantity
of waste generated it would increase the complexity of the types of wastes needing to be
managed, treated and disposed.
The management of waste in remote and regional areas of Western Australia presents a unique
challenge. The Western Australian Waste Strategy: “Creating the Right Environment” (Waste
Authority, 2012) (the Waste Strategy) acknowledges that resource development across the northwest
of the State is placing pressure on existing waste management systems due to difficulties in areas
such as transport, infrastructure, access to markets and funding. However, stakeholders from across
the region’s waste management industry recognise that the existing infrastructure and current
systems will struggle to deal with future growth and to achieve a more sustainable outcome for
waste management. Change will be necessary to advance waste management practices within
the region. The shift from the current system to a sustainable cycle for waste management is shown
in Figure 1. The role of waste management facilities in a sustainable waste management system is
to divert materials back into production activities, maximising the recovery of valuable materials and
moving away from the current ‘wasteful’ waste management practices of disposal to landfill.
The Waste Strategy recognises that appropriate planning and development of waste infrastructure is
needed as early as possible, particularly in regional and remote Western Australia. In order to assist
in the development of sustainable waste management systems it is vital that stakeholders, including
the Waste Authority, local governments and private industry, have access to accurate and
consistent data. Talis Consultants Pty Ltd (Talis) has been engaged by the Waste Authority to
undertake a Waste Data Study of the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome (the Study Area).
This Study was undertaken to achieve the following key objectives:
• Assist in infrastructure planning and policy;
• Facilitate the advancement of waste management systems in the Study Area; and
• Provide a framework for the future management of waste data.
To achieve these objectives and to obtain a comprehensive picture of current waste management
systems within the Study Area, current practices across the entire life cycle (from generation to

1.2 Scope
The scope of the Study was to identify, capture and present data for all the key waste streams,
including Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Commercial and Industrial (C&I) and Construction and
Demolition (C&D) across the Study Area for the 2011/12 financial year. It was also necessary to
predict future waste generation quantities up until 2035 for the Study Area to obtain an
understanding of the quantity of materials that may require management in the future.

2 Project Approach
The methodology utilised to undertake the Study involved the following tasks:
• Desktop review of waste strategies and policies, data classification systems and available
waste data sets;
• Development of a Waste Classification System to facilitate accurate and consistent
reporting;
• Development and implementation of a Stakeholder Consultation and Data Collection
Strategy;
• Data Entry and Analysis;
• Waste Streams Projections; and
• Reporting.
These tasks are described in the following sections.
2.1 Steering Committee
A Steering Committee was established for the project comprising representatives of the Office of the
Waste Authority and the Waste Management Association of Australia. The Steering Committee
provided government and industry context to the Study throughout and reviewed and endorsed the
Consultation and Data Collection Strategy prior to its implementation.
2.2 Desktop Review
To commence the Study, a detailed review of relevant literature was undertaken. The literature
reviewed included policy documents establishing the strategic framework for the project. A number
of Waste Classification Systems were reviewed including the Australian Waste Database and the
European Union’s Waste Classification Codes. A number of the systems were based on legislative
reporting requirements such as tracking hazardous wastes. More advanced systems focused on all
waste generation and particularly on the various sectors of the economy that generate waste. Such
systems are utilised in the development of waste policy.
Arising from the desktop review it was found that there was robust and reliable waste data on MSW
across the Study Area which was collected from the Local Government Waste Management Census
completed for the 2011/12 financial year. The best source of information for the C&I and C&D
sectors was through the Annual Environmental Reports (AERs) prepared to satisfy the various
conditions of approval governing the resource and waste management activities within the Study
Area. However in the majority of cases, it was found that the AER data was only suitable for providing
background information due to its limited nature.
2.3 Waste Classification System
To assist in the gathering and reporting of the waste data, Talis developed a Waste Classification
System (WCS). The WCS was developed to achieve the following objectives:
1. Reflect existing waste management practices to allow mapping of waste management
activities;
2. Achieve consistency both within the WCS and with standard industry terms and
classifications;
3. Prioritise identification of waste by its source as well as its composition;
TW12014 - Pilbara - Broome Waste Data Study Report 1c July 2013 | Page 5
Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
4. Identify the sector of the economy from which the waste is generated, to inform future
analysis and policy development;
5. Cover ‘cradle to grave’ as much as possible;
6. Maintain relevance to waste generation within the whole of Western Australia;
7. Ensure the system is user friendly; and
8. Minimise the potential for double counting.
To achieve these objectives, the WCS was developed consisting of a three-level coding system to
classify each waste material. These three tiers include:
1. Waste Stream;
2. Sector; and
3. Material Type.
2.3.1 Waste Stream
The first level of the WCS identifies the source of the waste by stream. To ensure consistency with
existing industry terminology the three traditional waste streams (MSW, C&I and C&D) were adopted.
The codes and definitions of each waste stream are shown in Table 1.
2.3.2 Sector
The second level of the WCS further identifies the source of the waste by the sector of the economy
within which the waste was generated. A total of 13 Sectors were used, based on a similar concept
within the Australian Waste Database (Sub-stream 1 Secondary Source) and also the classification of
economic activities within the European Waste Catalogue. The Sectors used were selected to reflect
the activities both within the Study Area and across Western Australia. The Sectors, their codes and
definitions (where required) are shown in Table 1.
It should be noted that remote Employee Camps established as a direct result of C&I activities (for
example on mine sites) have been included in the definition of the C&I stream, however have been
classified as a separate sector (Sector 10). Waste from Employee Camps within townsites is
generally collected through local government collection systems or private commercial
arrangements. Therefore, this waste was classified as Sector 1 Domestic or Sector 9 Mixed/Other
Sectors depending on the collection method.
2.3.3 Material Type
The third level of the coding system is Material Type, which reflects the composition of the waste.
Each Material Type potentially arising within the Study Area was given a Material Type code within the
range of 100 – 899 and grouped into eight series. For ease of access, the Material Types in the WCS
were grouped and each group was allocated its own range of Material Type codes. As much as
possible, the Material Types adopted were developed to ensure consistency with existing systems.
The 100 series consisted of all wastes classified through the Controlled Waste system.
The list of Material Types is a combination of single substance waste types (eg Paper; Plastic 1 – PET),
and mixed waste types (eg Mixed Paper and Cardboard; Mixed Metals). Users of the WCS were
encouraged to classify waste by single substance waste types as much as possible (where the data
is available), but use mixed types where these materials are collected as a mixed stream. A key
objective of the WCS was to accurately reflect waste management practices and therefore the
system was designed not to necessitate the splitting of comingled waste streams.
Examples of the Material Types are shown in Table 1 and the complete WCS are provided within
Appendix A.

2.4 Development of Consultation Strategy
To govern the data gathering exercise, a Consultation Strategy was prepared which outlined:
• The stakeholders to be consulted;
• The most suitable method of engagement with each of the stakeholders to encourage
stakeholders to participate in the Study; and
• The data gathering process.
2.4.1 Selection of Stakeholders
As it was necessary to capture data on waste generation, collection and treatment/disposal across
a range of waste streams and sectors, a broad group of stakeholders was required to be consulted
as part of the Study. These included waste generators and managers which were grouped into:
• Local governments;
• Private waste service providers; and
• Resource companies (major waste generators).
All five local governments within the Study Area were included as key stakeholders to be consulted to
confirm their local government census data.
Of the private waste services providers, only those which undertake a significant portion of the waste
handling and treatment activities in the Study Area were selected as stakeholders. This group was
considered to hold the most valuable waste data for the waste streams for which there is limited
existing data, being C&D and C&I waste. It was not practicable to consult with all private waste
service providers operating in the Study Area.
Similarly, engaging with all the resource companies operating within the Study Area was not
considered realistic. Therefore, a representative sample of the industry was selected, based on a
number of factors including type of commodity and scale of operation (number of sites, annual
throughput or employee numbers).
2.4.2 Data Collection Form
It was recognised that slightly different data was required from stakeholders, depending on their role
in the waste management systems in the Study Area. Therefore, specific Data Collection Forms were
developed for local governments, private waste service providers and resources companies.
Copies of the data collection forms are provided in Appendix B. All three Data Collection Forms
contained the following common elements:
• Respondent’s Details
To record information on the stakeholder and waste management facilities that they
own/operate. Local governments were also asked to provide current population data and
future projections (to 2035). The mining and resources sector stakeholders were asked for
annual throughput and staff numbers for each of their Areas of Operation (defined as a
particular site or operation such as a mine site or port facility).
• Waste Register
To record the source, quantity, collection method and treatment and/or disposal method for
each waste stream generated by the stakeholder.
• Waste Facility Outputs
To record the source, quantity and treatment and/or disposal method for each output
(product and residue) from waste management facilities operated by the stakeholder.

Although stakeholders were encouraged to utilise the Data Collection Form, Talis also accepted raw
data in different forms where that was available. This data was then transcribed into the required
data format by the project team.
2.5 Implementation of Consultation Strategy
Key stakeholders are based in Perth as well as in the Study Area. To maximise the number of face to
face meetings, a visit to the Study Area was undertaken in addition to consulting with stakeholders in
Perth.
2.5.1 Visit to the Study Area
Key members of the Project Team conducted a visit to the Study Area for one week to meet with the
Pilbara Sub Branch of the Waste Management Association of Australia (WMAA) and to undertake
data collection meetings with key waste generators and managers. While visiting the Study Area, the
Project Team met with the organisations identified in Table 2.

2.5.2 Metropolitan Meetings
A series of face to face meetings were held with metropolitan based stakeholders. In some cases, a
face to face meeting was not possible and consultation was undertaken via teleconference. As
part of this process, Talis consulted the following stakeholders:
Resource Companies Private Waste Service Providers
• Aditya Birla Group;
• Atlas Iron;
• BHP Billiton;
• Chevron Australia;
• Citic Pacific Mining;
• Fortescue Metals Group;
• Newcrest Mining;
• Rio Tinto; and
• Woodside.
In addition, some follow up telephone calls were made with stakeholders to finalise the collection of
data and/or respond to questions.
• Instant Waste; and
• TPI Cleanaway.
Local Governments
• Shire of Ashburton.

2.5.3 Stakeholder Participation
An extremely high participation rate was recorded for the Study. Most of the stakeholders consulted
provided the data requested for the Study. Others were not able, or chose not to participate.
Reasons provided for not participating included:
• Lack of available data;
• Lack of resources to provide assistance with the Study; and
• Concerns regarding the confidentiality of the data requested.
2.6 Data Analysis
2.6.1 Geographical Breakdown
To guide the analysis and presentation of the data, seven Sub-catchment Areas were formed
reflecting the key generation and treatment locations, and waste flows within the Study Area. The
development of the Sub-catchment Areas was based on the following criteria:
• Major population centres including a surrounding 100km radius; and
• Groupings of isolated waste generation sources.
In addition to identifying the key areas of waste generation, the amalgamation of information into
the Sub-catchment Areas ensures the anonymity of the data provided by Study participants. The
following Sub-catchment Areas have been used and are shown in Figure 2:
• Broome Sub-catchment Area;
• Port Hedland Sub-catchment Area;
• Karratha Sub-catchment Area;
• Onslow Sub-catchment Area;
• Tom Price Sub-catchment Area;
• Newman Sub-catchment Area; and
• Remote East Pilbara Sub-catchment Area.
It is important to note that the Sub-catchment Areas do not cover the entire Study Area. Areas which
fall outside of the Sub-catchment Areas were considered to contribute insignificant quantities of
waste due to the lack of economic or residential development within these areas and were
therefore excluded from the Study. This is illustrated within Figure 2.
2.6.2 Extrapolation of Data
It was not practicable to collect data for all waste generators and managers. Therefore, as
described in Section 2.6.1 a representative sample of waste generators and managers was
surveyed for data. The project team extrapolated this data to estimate the total waste quantities
within each Sub-catchment Area. This was done where possible by applying per capita or similar
waste generation rates from the collected data to operational areas and sites for which data has
not been collected. Also, specific waste data gaps were identified and quantities estimated base
on corresponding collected data and Talis’ industry experience in other regional areas across
Western Australia. The per capita extrapolation data is provided in Appendix C.

2.6.3 Assumptions
During the Study it was necessary to make a number of assumptions when inputting and analysing
the data. Some of the key assumptions adopted for the Study are as follows:
• Septage waste (Controlled Waste category 1.01) was excluded from the scope of the Study.
• Where required, conversion factors were applied to raw data to ensure all material quantities
were in tonnes. A list of the conversion factors utilised is provided in Appendix D.
• If not provided in the survey data, waste treatment methods and/or location were
completed based on reporting of similar materials by other stakeholders and Talis’
understanding of the waste management systems in the Study Area. In particular there was
limited data provided relating to the treatment and disposal of hazardous waste streams.
Consequently, care should be exercised in using the data relating to the current
hazardous waste treatment and disposal activities.
• Materials that were reused were not considered as waste and were excluded from the Study.
• On-site treatment of organic waste (food or greenwaste) such as food dehydration was not
considered as part of the Study.
• Where waste generation was reported for a period of less than 12 months, the quantity was
factored up to 12 months unless stated by the stakeholders that this was a periodic waste
stream.
• Data from local governments was broken down into the various townsites based on advice
from the relevant local government.
• Where data from different sources was conflicting, more accurate (weighbridge) data was
adopted if available. For conflicting data of similar accuracy, data from waste managers
was utilised over that from generators and/or collectors.
• Only on shore oil and gas infrastructure (such as supply bases) was included as sources of
waste generation. Waste generated from off-shore infrastructure was assumed to be either
brought into the Study Area via the supply bases or discharged to sea.
• Waste from Aboriginal communities (excluding Bidyadanga in the Shire of Broome) was not
included in the Study as it is governed through arrangements made with the
Commonwealth Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous
Affairs.
• Waste rock from hard rock mine sites was excluded from the Study as it is stockpiled on site
for future use in rehabilitation works, or disposed of on-site as part of the mining operations
and is therefore not considered a waste material.
2.6.4 Projections
Traditionally, two methods are used to estimate future waste generation quantities. Population
growth rates combined with per capita waste generation rates are utilised for MSW. Future
forecasting in economic and construction activities are utilised to project future C&I waste and C&D
waste quantities.
In regional and remote areas such as the Study Area, use of past trends to predict future population
and economic activity can be unreliable due to impacts of individual projects. Therefore, scenario
projections, based on a list of known and possible future initiatives and projects, are sometimes used
as an alternative to projecting past trends. However, identifying up-coming projects over an
extended period into the future is also very problematic.
Given the geographical isolation, relatively small population and typically large size of resource
development projects in the Study Area, population is strongly influenced by growth in the resources
sector. Most of the population is involved directly or indirectly in the resources industry. Such growth
July 2013 | Page 12
Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
TW12014 - Pilbara - Broome Waste Data Study Report 1c
also results in increases in construction activity, producing C&D waste, and new operating facilities
producing C&I waste.
On balance, it is therefore considered that population provides the most reliable indicator for growth
in waste generation across all three waste streams despite its acknowledged limitations as an
indicator for C&I and C&D wastes. As a consequence waste generation up to 2035 was projected
using published population growth scenarios, based on current per capita waste generation rates.
Pilbara
The Pilbara Planning and Infrastructure Framework (2012) (PPIF) was developed by the Pilbara
Regional Planning Committee on behalf of the Department of Planning to provide a strategic
direction for the Pilbara region over the next 25 years. This document considers three different
methods of projecting the future growth of the Pilbara, from:
• Pilbara Cities Vision;
• Pilbara Industry’s Community Council (PICC); and
• Western Australian Planning Commission’s WA Tomorrow report (2012).
The Pilbara Cities Vision has an aspirational target for a population in the Pilbara of 140,000 by 2035.
This growth scenario is based on the progressive expansion and diversification of the resources
sector, producing an average annual compound growth rate of 5%.
The PICC has developed a “business as usual” growth strategy for the Pilbara region based on
projects that were currently committed or at the prefeasibility stage of development. It projects a
population of 96,200 by 2020. The WA Tomorrow forecasts are based on trends in population since
the 1980s under a range of scenarios (low growth Scenario A up to high growth Scenario E)
incorporating factors such as fertility, mortality and migration. It provides population forecasts for the
Pilbara ranging from 40,000 to 60,000 by 2035, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: PPIF Population Projections
July 2013 | Page 13
Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
TW12014 - Pilbara - Broome Waste Data Study Report 1c
Figure 3 illustrates the difficulties in projecting future growth in regional areas. The achievement of
these growth projections will depend largely on the development and diversification of the resources
sector. The projections within the Pilbara Cities Vision are described as aspirational, and so can be
taken to be a high projection. Both the PICC and WA Tomorrow projections provide conservative
estimates and are therefore considered to be the lower limit of future population growth.
To project waste generation within the Study Area, high, moderate and low growth scenarios for
population were used, producing three scenarios for waste generation. The high and low growth
rates were taken from the Pilbara Cities and WA Tomorrow projections respectively. The average
annual growth rates for 2001-2011, published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for each of the
local governments in the Pilbara region were used to indicate moderate growth.
Shire of Broome
AEC Group prepared a Broome Community Profile (AEC, 2012) report for the Shire of Broome in late
2012 which includes population projections. The report shows that the population growth of Broome
has matched that of the State over the past decade. Broome is a service centre for the Kimberley
and the local economy has a significant tourism sector, which generated a large number of
seasonal visitors.
AEC describes four population scenarios as shown in Table 3. These scenarios are based on the WA
Tomorrow population projections and incorporating visitors and transient workers, as well as the
potential impact of the Oil and Gas industry.
Table 3: Broome Community Profile Population Projection Scenarios
Population Scenario Description
Scenario 1 (permanent residential population only)
WA Tomorrow medium population projections. No inclusion of visitors or transient workers
Scenario 2 (permanent residents and visitors)
WA Tomorrow medium population projections. Projected future visitors (i.e. tourists)
Scenario 3 (permanent residents, visitors and 35 Mtpa LNG operations)
WA Tomorrow medium population projections 35 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations, running up to 10 LNG trains. Projected future visitors (both leisure and business travellers)
Scenario 4 (permanent residents, visitors and maximum LNG development)
WA Tomorrow high population projections. 50 Mtpa LNG operations, running up to 14 LNG trains. Doubling of expected growth in future leisure visitation and increased business visitation from LNG activities
It is important to include visitors and transient workers in the population figures as they generate
waste and are indicators of economic activity. Scenario 2 has been taken as the low projection of
population and Scenario 4 has been taken as the high projection for the Broome Sub-catchment
Area population projections.
Impact of LNG Development
In the Broome and Onslow Sub-catchment Areas, the high growth scenarios include the
development of significant LNG infrastructure. While cancelation of the Woodside development at
James Price Point was recently announced, the large natural reserves in the region are still likely to
result in significant LNG development in the future. This development may include on-shore or
floating processing infrastructure however for the purpose of this Study, on-shore development has
been incorporated into the waste projections. This would increase the quantities of C&I and C&D
waste, over and above the quantities projected according to published population growth.
Therefore, for the C&I and C&D waste streams in these Sub-catchment Areas, waste quantities
equivalent to the anticipated LNG developments were added to the per capita waste projections. If
July 2013 | Page 14
Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
TW12014 - Pilbara - Broome Waste Data Study Report 1c
floating LNG processing was undertaken, it is anticipated that the volumes of waste generated
would be significantly less than those projected.
In the Broome Sub-catchment Area, the projected 50 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) was
considered equivalent to 10 LNG trains, while in the Onslow Sub-catchment Area, future
development was anticipated at 5 LNG trains. Raw data gathered on the C&I and C&D waste
generated per LNG train was utilised to obtain projections for waste generations under the high
growth scenario in these Sub-catchment Areas.
A summary of the sources for the various population growth scenarios in each Sub-catchment Area
is shown in Table 4.

3 Broome Sub-catchment Area
3.1 Area Profile
The Broome Sub-catchment Area (Figure 4) covers an area of approximately 18,890 km2 and is
located north of the Pilbara region along the west coast. The Broome townsite is the major
population centre within the Sub-catchment Area with a population in 2011 of 16,708 (including
seasonal tourists) and a population growth from 2001 – 2011 of 2% (ABS 2012). There is currently very
little mining or other resource activity within the Shire of Broome and therefore the Sub-catchment
Area was centred around the Broome townsite.
Road access from the Pilbara to Broome is provided from Port Hedland via Great Northern Highway,
a distance of approximately 600km.
The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Broome Sub-catchment Area
is shown in Table 5.

Buckley’s Road landfill.
The Buckley’s Road landfill is approaching the end of its operational lifespan. The Shire of Broome is
therefore in the process of developing a Regional Resource Recovery Facility at a new site, including
a Class II (putrescible) landfill cell.

TW12014 - Pilbara - Broome Waste Data Study Report 1c July 2013 | Page 20
Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
3.3 Key Findings
Due to the current lack of significant resource sector activity within the Shire of Broome, MSW
represents a significant proportion of the total waste stream with 32%. C&I is the largest waste
stream with 45% of the total waste stream, and is believed to be generated predominantly from the
tourism industry (classified as Other/Mixed sectors).
Of the waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area, the majority (86%) is disposed of to landfill
giving a landfill diversion rate of 14%. A small proportion (3%) of the waste stream is recycled,
including comingled recyclables (paper, plastic, metals and glass packaging) processed at the
Materials Recovery Facility and waste oil taken to Perth for recycling. The data shows that all waste
generated from the C&D stream and the majority of C&I waste is currently being disposed to landfill.
This situation provides a significant opportunity to increase recycling and recovery of these materials,
thereby increasing the landfill diversion rate.
The projections of waste generation illustrate the potential for waste generation quantities to increase
significantly by 2035, particularly within the C&I and C&D streams from future developments in the oil
and gas industry. By 2035, waste generation could increase to 94,800 tonnes per annum, with
approximately 50,200 tonnes generated from the C&I stream. This further illustrates the need to
increase diversion of these materials from landfill. Even under the low growth scenario, waste
generation is anticipated to increase at greater than the existing rate as a result of increased
tourism.

4 Port Hedland Sub-catchment Area
4.1 Area Profile
The Port Hedland Sub-catchment Area (Figure 5) includes the Town of Port Hedland and an area to
the east in the Shire of East Pilbara. It has an area of approximately 32,565 km2. The major
population centres within the Town of Port Hedland are Port Hedland and South Hedland. The town
of Marble Bar in the Shire of East Pilbara is also located within the Sub-catchment Area. In 2011, the
Town of Port Hedland had a population of 15,832 with an average annual growth rate of 2.1% over
the last ten years. Marble Bar is a small population centre located approximately 200km south-east
of Port Hedland, with a population of 208 in 2011 and a growth rate of 1.4%

4.3 Key Findings
The Port Hedland Sub-catchment Area generates the second largest quantity of waste within the
Study Area with almost 148,500 tonnes in 2011/12. The C&D stream contributed significantly to this
total representing 52% followed by the C&I stream with 38%. MSW only represented 10% of total
waste generated. A total of 84% of the waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area was
disposed of to landfill, giving a landfill diversion rate of 16%.
Due to the waste processing facility in Wedgefield (Port Hedland) a significant quantity of waste
(7,946 tonnes) was imported into the Sub-catchment Area for treatment such as recycling,
dewatering (hazardous treatment) or incineration (thermal treatment). These materials were all
generated from the C&I stream and included mostly oils and related wastes, grease wastes and
other hazardous wastes. As the only facility of this type within the Study Area, it reduces the need for
these materials to be exported from the Study Area for treatment.
The projections indicate that waste generation could increase to over 444,060 tonnes per annum by
2035. It would require an average annual growth rate of 4.9% to increase the population to 50,382
by 2035.

5 Karratha Sub-catchment Area
5.1 Area Profile
The Karratha Sub-catchment Area (Figure 6) is centred around the Karratha townsite which is the
largest population centre within the Sub-catchment Area. Other towns include Dampier, Roebourne
and Wickham. The Sub-catchment Area covers a large proportion of the Shire of Roebourne, and
also includes an area in the north of the Shire of Ashburton for a total area of 20,840km2. The Shire of
Roebourne has a total population of 23,927 with an annual growth rate of 4.7% between 2001 and
2011 (ABS 2012). In 2011, Karratha’s population was 16,475 with a very high growth rate of 8.1%. In
contrast, the smaller population centres within the Sub-catchment Areas all recorded negative
annual growth rates between -0.4% (Dampier) and -1.9% (Wickham).
The Karratha Sub-catchment Area includes some hard rock mining activity and is currently the
primary on-shore base for the Northwest Shelf oil and gas developments through the Dampier Port.
A Rio Tinto rail line runs through the Sub-catchment Area south-east from the Dampier port through to
Paraburdoo in the Shire of Ashburton. The Sub-catchment Area also includes the Rio Tinto rail line
which extends from the Cape Lambert port facility to Pannawonica. The North-West Coastal
Highway provides road access through the Sub-catchment Area, south-west to Onslow and Perth
and east to Port Hedland.
The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Karratha Sub-catchment Area
is shown in Table 7.

Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
5.3 Key Findings
The Karratha Sub-catchment Area has the largest source of waste generation within the Study Area
with approximately 302,700 tonnes in 2011/12. The majority (80%) of this was generated from the
C&D stream as the result of large construction projects in the Mining and Oil and Gas sectors. This
would be anticipated to continue for the next three to five years, then reduce as these projects enter
their operational phase. The major sources of waste were Other/Mixed sectors with 35% of total
waste, followed by Oil and Gas with 30% and Domestic with 23%.
Almost 9,000 tonnes of material was brought into the Sub-catchment Area for treatment including
recycling and disposal to public landfill. Of the waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area,
66% was recycled, mostly at the inert recycling facility. This has resulted in a high landfill diversion
rate within the Sub-catchment Area of 70%.
Over 10% of the waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area was exported for treatment, the
majority of which was sent overseas for recycling. Approximately 25% of the materials exported
were sent to Perth for recycling, hazardous treatment or disposal, while a small proportion were sent
to Port Hedland for thermal treatment.
Based on current per capita waste generation, the waste projections indicate that generation could
increase to 672,400 tonnes per annum by 2035, with approximately 539,500 tonnes of this from the
C&D stream. However, as mentioned previously, it is anticipated that the current generation of C&D
waste will not be sustained and it is therefore unlikely that the high projection will be reached,
particularly in relation to the C&D stream.

TW12014 - Pilbara - Broome Waste Data Study Report 1c July 2013 | Page 38
Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
6.3 Key Findings
In 2011/12, a total of 10,700 tonnes was generated within the Onslow Sub-catchment Area. Due to
the small population, only 4% of this was MSW. The large construction projects currently being
undertaken within the Sub-catchment Area resulted in the majority (64%) of the waste arising within
the C&D stream, with the remaining 32% from the C&I stream. Other/Mixed sectors were the largest
source of waste by sector, with 55% of total waste, followed by the Domestic sector with 26% and
Mining with 17%. It is anticipated that, although arising from the Oil and Gas sector, the C&D waste
generated from that sector was recorded as from Other/Mixed sectors.
Of the waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area, 81% was disposed of to public landfills and
a further 11% to on-site landfills, giving a landfill diversion rate of 8%. None of the waste generated
from the C&D stream was diverted from landfill.
The projections of future waste generation within the Sub-catchment Area indicate that waste could
increase to 34,274 tonnes per annum by 2035. However, this appears to be heavily dependent on
development within the Oil and Gas sector, as according to the WAPC population based projections
which do not consider future resource sector projects, waste generation may decrease to just 1,290
tonnes per annum. Should the projected Oil and Gas developments proceed, C&D waste would
be expected to be the largest waste stream for approximately the next 10 years while projects are
under construction, after which the C&D waste would decrease and C&I waste increase during the
operational phase. It should be noted that, as projections are based on current per capita waste
generation, this change is not reflected in the projections of waste generation to 2035.

7 Tom Price Sub-catchment Area
7.1 Area Profile
The Tom Price Sub-catchment Area (Figure 8) is located in the south-east of the Shire of Ashburton
and covers an area of 35,280km2 surrounding the Tom Price townsite. Tom Price is the largest
population centre in the Shire of Ashburton with approximately 3,100 residents and an average
annual growth rate of 3.3% between 2001 and 2011 (ABS 2012). The other significant town within the
Sub-catchment Area is Paraburdoo (located 80km south of Tom Price), which had a population of
approximately 1,500 in 2011 and an annual growth rate of -1.2% (ABS 2012).
Economic activities within the Sub-catchment Area are dominated by hard rock mining operations.
A Rio Tinto rail line runs through the Sub-catchment area from Paraburdoo, north via Tom Price to the
Dampier Port in the Karratha Sub-catchment Area.
The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Tom Price Sub-catchment
Area is shown in Table 9.

Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
7.3 Key Findings
The Tom Price Sub-catchment Area is dominated by activities within the Mining sector which
represented 68% of the 51,120 tonnes of total waste generated. As the majority of these sites are
operational, 59% of total waste was generated from the C&I stream, with 33% C&D and just 8%
MSW. The largest material type generated was mixed refuse, arising from both the C&I and C&D
streams.
A total of 86% of the waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area was disposed of to landfill,
47% at public facilities and 39% at on-site facilities. This corresponds to a landfill diversion rate of
14%. 12% of total waste was recycled, however none of this occurred within the Sub-catchment
Area, with it being transported to either Karratha, Port Hedland or Perth. A total of 6,432 tonnes was
exported from the Sub-catchment Area for recycling, hazardous treatment or disposal.
As with other Sub-catchment Areas, there is significant variance between the high and low waste
generation scenarios. Under the high scenario, total waste generation could increase to 135,402
tonnes per annum, while under the low scenario waste generation could decrease to 38,764 tonnes
by 2035.

8 Newman Sub-catchment Area
8.1 Area Profile
The Shire of East Pilbara is the largest local government in the Pilbara region with an area of
approximately 371,600 km2. The Newman Sub-catchment Area (Figure 9) is located in the south-
west of the Shire of East Pilbara and includes the Newman and Nullagine town centres. The total
area of the Sub-catchment Area is approximately 31,800km2. In 2011, Newman had a population
of approximately 5,480 and a growth rate of 5.8% while Nullagine had a population of just 178,
decreasing at 3.6% per annum over the previous ten years.
The Newman Sub-catchment Area includes a significant proportion of the iron ore mining operations
occurring within the Pilbara region, and includes both operational mines and some under
construction. Newman is located 450km south of Port Hedland via the Great Northern Highway and
is located 276km by road from Tom Price. A BHP Billiton rail line also runs from Newman to Port
Hedland.
The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Newman Sub-catchment Area
is shown in Table 10.

TW12014 - Pilbara - Broome Waste Data Study Report 1c July 2013 | Page 51
Waste Data Study for the Pilbara Region and Shire of Broome Prepared for the Waste Authority
8.3 Key Findings
Approximately 105,000 tonnes was generated within the Newman Sub-catchment Area in 2011/12.
Due to the large number of operational mines within the Sub-catchment Area, C&I waste was the
largest stream with 68%. C&D waste represented a further 22% and MSW 10% of total waste. The
largest materials type was mixed refuse with 27,149 tonnes, the majority of which was generated
from the C&I stream. As a result of the quantity and nature of the C&I operations, significant
quantities of hazardous wastes such as waste oil and contaminated soil were generated within the
Sub-catchment Area.
In total, 64% of the waste generated was disposed of to landfill, 37% to public landfills and 27% at
on-site facilities, which corresponds to a landfill diversion rate of 36%. 17% of the waste generated
was recycled including significant quantities of waste oil and non-packaging metals exported to
Perth. 13% of the materials required hazardous treatment, while 2% (2,186 tonnes) was exported to
Port Hedland for thermal treatment.
As was shown in Figure 9, there are a large number of putrescible landfills within the Sub-catchment
Area, making landfill disposal a convenient and cost-effective option for waste managers and
generators. As there are no other waste management facilities within the Sub-catchment Areas, any
materials to be recycled or requiring advanced hazardous treatment must be exported.
As shown by the extremely high projections based on the existing growth rate, Newman is currently
experiencing very strong population growth. According to the ABS population figures, population
growth since 2006 has increased significantly at 12% growth per annum. As it is unreasonable to
assume that this growth rate will continue until 2035, the more moderate growth rate of 4.4%
recorded between 2001 and 2006 was utilised for this Study. Even with this adjustment, the
projections of waste generation under the existing growth rate are significantly greater than those
under the high growth scenario. This indicates that development in the resource sector within the
Newman Sub-catchment Area is expected to stabilise at current levels, rather than continue to grow
at the rates experienced over the past decade.
Under the high growth scenario, waste generation is projected to increase to approximately 128,500
tonnes per annum by 2035. The majority of this waste (87,327 tonnes) is anticipated to be
generated from the C&I stream.

9.3 Key Findings
In 2011/12, 12,300 tonnes of waste was generated within the Remote East Pilbara Sub-catchment
area, with all of this arising from the C&I stream. No MSW was recorded as there are no townsites
within the Sub-catchment Area, with all workers living in employee camps. The largest materials type
generated was mixed rubber with 3,397 tonnes, as a result of a large quantity of waste mill liners
generated within the reporting period. Approximately 2,694 tonnes of mixed refuse and 1,377
tonnes of waste mineral oils were the next largest material types generated.
The majority of the waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area was diverted from landfill, with
47% recycled. Due to the lack of appropriate infrastructure, all of this material was treated externally.
A total of 6,836 tonnes was exported for recycling or treatment including rubber, waste oils and
metals. Within the Sub-catchment Area, almost all waste was disposed of at on-site landfill facilities,
with small quantities undergoing hazardous treatment or being stockpiled.
Under the high growth scenario, waste generation by 2035 could increase to 22,262 tonnes. As in
the Newman Sub-catchment Area, the high growth rate indicates that future growth is likely to be
less than existing growth. As the projections have been based on current per capita waste
generation, all waste is projected to arise within the C&I stream. However, for the current
commercial operations to continue and expand, it would be expected for C&D waste to be
generated during construction or expansion activities.

12 Conclusions
This section presents the key findings of the Study for both individual Sub-catchment Areas and the
whole Study Area.
12.1 Waste Generation
• Total waste generation within the Study Area in 2011/12 was approximately 669,816 tonnes.
• The largest quantity of waste was generated in the Karratha Sub-catchment Area with
approximately 303,000 tonnes. This was followed by the Port Hedland Sub-catchment Area
with 148,500 tonnes and the Newman Sub-catchment Area with 105,000 tonnes. Total
waste generation was significantly lower within the other Sub-catchment Areas.
• Across the Study Area, 56% of total waste was generated from the C&D stream, 35% from
the C&I stream and 9% was MSW.
• A breakdown of waste generation by stream across the Study Area is shown in Figure 11. It
can be seen that the distribution of waste generation between key waste streams varies
significantly with the amount and phasing of commercial activities undertaken within each
Sub-catchment Area. A similar proportion to the State average of C&D was generated
across the Study Area, however a greater proportion of C&I waste and less MSW was
generated than the State averages.
Figure 11: Waste Generation Breakdown by Stream
• Other/Mixed commercial sectors were the largest in terms of waste generation with 36% of
total waste. The Mining sector represented 26%, Domestic sector 22% and Oil and Gas
sector 14% of waste generated across the Study Area in 2011/12.
• A total of 13,893 tonnes was generated across the Study Area from Employee Camps
(Sector 10). Detailed information in relation to Employee Camps is provided in Appendix N.
• The largest Material Type generated within the Study Area was concrete with 144,763 tonnes,
followed by mixed refuse (public drop-off, C&I and C&D waste) with 120,402 tonnes and
mixed building rubble with 113,748 tonnes.
• Per capita waste generation rates varied within each Sub-catchment Area according to the
amount and phase of activities in the resource sector. Higher per capita waste generation
was recorded in Sub-catchment Areas with significant construction activity.

• The Broome Sub-catchment Area had the lowest per capita waste generation with 2.3
tonnes per annum, due to the limited amount of resources sector activity in 2011/12.
Onslow had the highest annual rate with 15.6 tonnes per capita because of its low
population base and significant construction activity.
12.2 Waste Treatment
• A total of 57% (364,764 tonnes) of waste generated within the Study Area was disposed of to
landfill, with 47% sent to public landfills and 10% at on-site facilities.
• The Study Area is therefore currently achieving an overall diversion from landfill rate of 43%.
Across WA, the diversion rate was 31% in 2010/11 and 39% in 2011/12 (Recycling Activity in
Western Australia, Hyder).
• 38% of total waste generated was recycled. The majority of waste recycled was generated
from the C&D stream, which assisted in achieving the 43% landfill diversion rate across the
Study Area. The C&D recycling facility in Karratha contributes significantly to this, with a
landfill diversion rate in the Karratha Sub-catchment Area of 76% in the C&D stream.
• The remaining 5% of total waste generated is diverted from landfill through greenwaste
processing, stockpiling and hazardous and thermal treatment.
• A total of 78,811 tonnes was exported from the Study Area for treatment in Perth, interstate or
overseas. The majority of the waste removed was sent for recycling, however some was also
exported for hazardous treatment or disposal.
12.3 Projections
• Future waste generation was estimated based on future population projections. Population
growth in the Study Area is strongly influenced by activity in the resource sector. The
uncertainty of long term growth projections for that sector has resulted in growth scenarios
which give a wide range of future population estimates. This has a corresponding effect on
the estimates of future waste generation.
• The growth scenarios show that by 2035, population within the Study Area could increase to
178,685, or increase only slightly from current levels to 105,189.
• Based on the high growth scenario, waste generation within the Study Area could increase to
1,531,756 tonnes by 2035. LNG developments in the Onslow and Broome Sub-catchment
Areas were included in the projection of C&I and C&D waste under the high growth
scenario.
• The high growth scenario predicts that across the Study Area, MSW generation could
increase to 129,650 tonnes, C&I waste to 524,000 tonnes and C&D waste 878,000 tonnes
by 2035. These projections are considered to be unrealistically high as they are based on
an optimistic projection of population.
• Should existing growth and waste generation rates continue, waste generation could rise to
1,200,569 tonnes. Under the low growth scenario waste is projected to increase to 796,300
tonnes per annum by 2035.
• The use of current per capita waste generation within each Sub-catchment Area, which vary
significantly, contributes to the very large future waste projections. This is particularly relevant
to Sub-catchment Areas currently experiencing significant construction activities, as
illustrated by the projection of C&D waste in the Karratha Sub-catchment Area. It is
recognised that the transition of the current construction projects to their operational phase
will significantly reduce future waste generation. This effect is not reflected in the high growth
scenario projections and therefore conservatism should be adopted when utilising these
data.

13 Discussion
A number of key discussion points have been identified from the study and they can be categorised
as follows:
• Current waste management systems;
• Key issues in the data analysis process; and
• Implications of the Study’s findings.
These aspects are discussed further in the following sections.
13.1 Waste Management Systems
The current waste management systems within the Study Area have a heavy reliance on local
landfills. Many of the facilities were established more than a decade ago, before the generation of
modern best practice siting, design and operational standards. These landfills are all unlined and do
not reflect current best practice. In addition, there is a significant reliance on hazardous waste
treatment facilities located outside of the region.
The advancement of the resource sector, particularly over the past decade, has resulted in a
number of issues for the current waste management systems within the Study Area including:
• Dramatic increase in the quantity of waste material requiring management and treatment;
• Generation of more complex waste streams with materials that require specialist
transportation and treatments; and
• Industry desire for improved services including more sustainable waste treatment options,
particularly for hazardous wastes.
C&I waste currently comprises 35% of all waste generated within the Study Area. This is well above
what is typical for other regional centres in Western Australia. In addition, C&D waste represents 56%
of total waste generation with the vast majority arising as a direct result of the resource sector
construction activities. Furthermore, 10% of total waste generation is either a controlled waste or
other hazardous material, illustrating the complexity of the waste streams being generated.
This Study has identified that there are 36 licensed landfills within the region consisting of 21 Category
64 premises (Class II putrescible landfills) and 15 Category 89 premises (rural putrescible landfills
accepting less than 5,000 tonnes per annum) as defined by the Environmental Protection
Regulations 1987. The vast majority of these consist of unlined, isolated landfills on mine sites. There
are large clusters of these within the Tom Price and Newman Sub-catchment Areas. The
environmental performance of the waste management systems in the Study Area could be
improved if these landfills were consolidated into a few modern facilities developed under best
practice principles.
If the high growth projections for the Study Area were to eventuate then the waste generated could
more than double by 2035 to approximately 1.5 million tonnes per annum. This would coincide with
the existing trend towards more complex waste streams being generated, particularly from the Oil
and Gas sector. Significant alterations would be required to the current waste management systems
across the Study Area to ensure that these materials are dealt with in a sustainable and/or
appropriate manner.

13.2 Data Analysis
13.2.1 Waste Classification
The generation of the Waste Classification System was a key aspect of the data collection process
utilised to complete the Study. The WCS assisted in the identification of waste streams and gaining
an understanding of the various materials being generated. In addition, the WCS allowed for the
identification of the various sectors of the economy from which the waste was generated. This data
will greatly assist with gaining an improved understanding of waste streams from these sectors and
could contribute to more tailored policy development.
As this Study focused on gathering data across the life cycle of all wastes, consultation with waste
generators and managers was undertaken. Arising from these activities, significant inconsistencies
were identified in the terminology and recording systems utilised (including time periods and units)
which necessitated clarification being sought from the majority of participants. This highlighted the
need for the consistent use of a common waste classification system in Western Australia.
13.2.2 Waste Generation
With the exception of the Broome Sub-catchment Area (which currently has very little activity in the
resources sector), total per capita waste generation in the Study Area was higher than the State
average of 2.6 tonnes per capita (Waste Strategy 2012). In some Sub-catchment Areas, per capita
waste generation was up to six times greater than the State average. In the majority of Sub-
catchment Areas, this was largely due to the high quantities of C&I or C&D waste associated with
resource sector activities. A summary of per capita waste generation within each Sub-catchment
Area and for the whole Study Area is shown in Table 12.

TOTAL 2.31 9.07 7.79 12.06 15.59 10.83 2.88 8.08
As shown in Table 12, the quantity of MSW generated per capita is consistent throughout the Study
Area, excluding Remote East Pilbara.
In the Karratha and Onslow Sub-catchment Areas, significant construction activity, particularly within
the Oil and Gas sector, generates large quantities of C&D waste per capita (9.7 tonnes and 10.0
tonnes, respectively). In the Sub-catchment Areas containing relatively large numbers of existing
mining operations (Newman, and Tom Price), C&I waste is the most significant waste stream per
capita. The Broome Sub-catchment Area, where there is currently minimal activity in the resources
sector, recorded the lowest per capita waste generation rate.
13.2.3 Waste Projections
Due to the uncertainty associated with predicting the number and magnitude of future industrial
projects, difficulty arises in projecting growth in waste generation. As described previously,
population projections were considered to be the most appropriate method for projecting waste
generation for all of the waste streams, due to the correlation between population and economic
activities in the Study Area. However, population forecasts for the Sub-catchment Areas and Study
July 2013 | Page 70

TW12014 - Pilbara - Broome Waste Data Study Report 1c July 2013 | Page 70
Area vary considerably between the high and low growth scenarios. This leads to a wide range of
waste generation projections. Under a high growth scenario, waste generation over the whole Study
Area may increase to over 1.5 million tonnes per annum by 2035, while under the low growth
scenario it may increase only slightly to approximately 796,300 tonnes per annum.
13.3 Waste Strategy Targets
The overall landfill diversion rate across all three key waste streams is currently 43% within the Study
Area. The Waste Strategy contains State wide landfill diversion targets for the C&I and C&D streams
and metropolitan and Regional centre targets (including Karratha) for MSW. The targets are set for
2015 and 2020. These targets and the current landfill diversion rates in key Stub-catchment Areas
and the Study Area are shown in Table 13.

* Karratha is the only Regional Centre within the Study Area # Broome MSW diversion rate is high due to C&I waste being classified as MSW
Note: Diversion rates include waste exported from the Sub-catchment Areas for treatment
As shown in Table 13, significant improvements in landfill diversion are required to achieve the 2015
target for MSW in the Karratha Sub-catchment Area and the C&I stream across the Study Area. While
the MSW target currently applies only to the Karratha Sub-catchment Area, it is possible that in the
future, State wide landfill diversion targets may be developed for the MSW stream. Across the Study
Area, the MSW stream is currently achieving a landfill diversion rate of 16%.
Improvements in landfill diversion are also required to achieve the 2015 target for the C&I stream
across the Study Area, with the exception of the Remote East Pilbara Sub-catchment Area. Due to
the considerable quantity of C&D waste recycled within the Karratha Sub-catchment Area, the
current landfill diversion rate for the C&D stream in Karratha is already exceeding the Waste Strategy
target for 2020.

14 Recommendations
Based on the findings of this Study, it is recommended that the Waste Authority:
• Considers strategies for encouraging the rationalisation of landfills within the Study Area.
• Considers the adoption and support of a Waste Classification System for Western Australia to
establish a framework for waste data gathering and reporting to ensure that there is
consistency across the industry. As part of this process, due consideration should be given to
the Waste Classification System devised as part of this Study.
• Considers improved reporting requirements for all waste facilities across the State to provide
waste data which is in accordance with the adopted Waste Classification System.

• Incidental commercial waste collected via residential kerbside collections.
C&IWaste generated from, or as the direct result of, commercial and industrial operations, and that is not MSW or
C&D waste.
C&D Materials generated as a result of construction, refurbishment or demolition activities.
The source of the waste is further identified in the second part of the WCS by the Sector of the economy from which the waste was
generated. A total of 13 Sectors have been used, based on a similar concept to the Classification of Economic Activities within the
European Commission’s EWC and also within the AWD (Sub-stream 1 Secondary Source).
To achieve the objectives listed above, each waste type is classified by the WCS using a three level coding system including Stream,
Sector and Material Type. The following pages describe in detail the breakdown of each of these tiers. Each level is colour coded for
ease of reference and has a unique Waste Classification Code allocated.
Waste Stream
The first part of the WCS identifies the source of the waste by stream, and given its own Waste Stream Code.
· Code A. – Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
· Code B. – Commercial and Industrial (C&I)
· Code C. – Construction and Demolition (C&D)
The first letter of the WCC will be either the A., B. or C. associated with the above STREAM CODE.
Table 1 provides a detailed definition for each of the Waste Streams.
Table 1 Waste Stream Definitions

Sector
The WCS Structure
To assist in the gathering and reporting of waste data, a Waste Classification System (WCS) has been developed for the Pilbara and
Broome Waste Data Study. The WCS was developed to achieve the following objectives:
1. Reflect existing waste management practices to allow mapping of waste management activities;
2. Achieve consistency both within the WCS and with standard industry terms and classifications;
3. Prioritise identification of waste by its source as well as its composition;
4. Identify the sector of the economy from which the waste is generated, to inform future analysis and policy development;
5. Cover ‘cradle to grave’ as much as possible;
6. Maintain relevance to waste generation within the whole of Western Australia;
7. Ensure the system is user friendly; and
8. Minimise the potential for double counting.
During the design of the WCS, a range of national and international waste classification systems were reviewed with particular
consideration given to the Australian Waste Database (AWD) and European Waste Catalogue (EWC). A number of systems were
based on legislative reporting requirements such as tracking hazardous wastes. More advanced systems focused on all waste
generation and particularly on the various sectors of the economy that generate waste. The WCS developed allows for a Waste
Classification Code (WCC) to be allocated to each waste material generated in all major waste streams within the Study Area, or
even the State of WA. This is explained in detail in the following sections.
A Waste Data Study has been initiated for the Pilbara region and Shire of Broome (the Study Area).

Waste Classification System Spreadsheet
The waste in this example is generated in the C&I Stream (Code C.), as part of the ‘Employee Camps’ Sector (Code 10.) and is
identified as Material Type ‘Mixed Refuse' (Code 801).
The WCC for this waste material is C.10.801.
Example 3 – Stockpiled building rubble from the demolition of a school
The waste in this example is generated in the C&D Stream (Code C.), as part of the ‘Public Facilities and Institutions’ Sector (Code 11.)
and is identified as Material Type ‘Mixed Building Rubble’ (Code 601).
The WCC for this waste material is C.11.601.
Example 4 – Kitchen waste from remote employee camp
The WCC for this waste material is B.02.611.
The Sectors used have been selected to reflect the activities within the Study Area and to assist in clarifying the intent of the WCS.
Examples of Sectors are ’01. - Domestic ’, ’02. - Mining, Exploration, quarrying, physical and chemical treatment of Minerals’ and ‘05.
- Petroleum refining, natural gas purification and pyrolytic treatment of coal’ . Sector ’10. - Employee Camps’ has been given its
own Sector, to differentiate it from ’01. - Domestic ’ as it is to be used for remote employee camps directly related to a particular C&I
enterprise (only to be used for C&I waste). Each Sector is given a SECTOR CODE within the range of 01. to 13.
Material Type
The third aspect of the coding system reflects the composition of the waste. Each of the waste Material Types is given a MATERIAL
CODE within the range of 101 – 899. Codes with the range of 101 – 183 are Material Types that were previously identified in the DEC
Controlled Waste Guideline Series. The reference to these guidelines has been incorporated into the WCS to ensure compliance with
previously existing waste management systems. MATERIAL CODE’s within the Range of 201 – 899 are waste Material Types identified
outside of the previously existing Controlled Waste guidelines and by utilising Material Types occurring in the EWC and AWD.
WCC Examples
The colour coding below has been used to show the arrangement of the WCC however it is not a requirement for reporting.
Example1- weekly green-bin kerbside collection
The waste generated in this example is MSW Stream (Code A.), as part of the ’Domestic’ Sector (Code 01.) and is identified as
Material Type ‘Kerbside refuse’ (Code 302).
The WCC for this waste material is A.01.302.
Example 2 - replacing rubber conveyors on an iron ore mine site
The waste in this example is generated in the C&I Stream (Code B.), as part of the ‘Mining , exploration, quarrying…’ Sector (Code 02.)
and is identified as Material Type ‘Rubbers – other’ (Code 611).

Waste Authority
IntroductionThe management of waste in remote and regional areas of Western Australia presents a unique challenge.
The Western Australian Waste Strategy: Creating the Right Environment (2012) (the Waste Strategy)
acknowledges that resource development across the northwest of the State is placing pressure on existing
waste management systems due to difficulties in regional areas such as transport, infrastructure, access to
markets and funding.
The Waste Strategy recognises that appropriate planning and development of waste infrastructure is needed
as early as possible, particularly in the regional and remote areas of the State. In order to ensure that this
occurs, it is vital that the Waste Authority has access to consistent and comparable data.
A Waste Data Study has been initiated for the Pilbara region and Shire of Broome (Study Area).
To assist in the gathering and reporting of waste data, a Data Collection Sheet (DCS) has been developed for
the project. Different versions of the DCS have been developed for local governments, waste generators and
private waste management service providers. The DCS was developed to achieve the following objectives:
1. Reflect existing waste management practices to allow mapping of waste management activities;
2. Identify the sector of the economy from which the waste is generated, to inform future analysis and policy
development;
3. Cover ‘cradle to grave’ as much as possible;
4. Maintain relevance to waste generation within the whole of Western Australia;
5. Ensure the system is user friendly; and
6. Minimise the potential for double counting.
A description of the DCS structure and user process is provided below.
The DCS StructureThe following gives a breakdown of the DCS structure according to sheet name tabs within the DCS.
Respondent DetailsThis sheet of the DCS requires the respondent to complete details regarding contact information, and,
depending on the industry, details regarding future growth. Data on future growth is to be used in projecting
future waste streams in the study area.
Waste RegistryThe waste registry sheet covers the generation and/or management of waste. The source segment of the
waste registry sheet requires the user to fill in details relating to the source of a waste material and the type of
waste material that has been generated from this source. The red, blue and green columns of this segment
are coloured to correspond with the Waste Classification System (WCS) (see below) that has been developed
for the Waste Data Study. This WCS has been included in the DCS for reference when completing this section.
The segments on quantity, collection, processing/disposal and transfer facility are segments that cover the
quantity and management of the waste types.
July 2013 | Page 83
Data Collection Sheet- LGAs
DCS Waste Facility OutputsThis sheet of the DCS requires the respondent to provide data related to any waste management facilities
over which they have operational control. Data is required on the outputs of these facilities including waste
residues (eg non recyclable waste, sludges) or products that have economic value eg recycling building
products or separated recyclables.
Waste Classification System (WCS)A WCS was developed for the study to assist with the gathering and reporting of data. The DCS has two sheets
relating to the WCS. The first is an explanatory guide and the second sheet contains details of the WCS. The
WCS and DCS have matching colours in order to help explain the coding process.
DCS MethodologyThe DCS sheets are design to be filled in any manner that is deemed easiest for the respondent. The
electronic format of the DCS contains definitions and descriptions of appropriate columns. These are found
by allowing the mouse pointer to hover over the column heading. Many columns also contain drop-down
menus of potential inputs which should be utilised as much as possible.
