Background

Central Coast Council continues to work alongside its customers improving the monitoring of liquid waste to ensure a safe, clean environment for today and the future.

As part of this work, Council updated its Liquid Trade Waste Management Policy to maintain relevance to industry standards and legislation.

This process helped Council to identify opportunities to streamline liquid trade waste processes. It will be put towards improving the way Council works with Liquid Trade Waste customers.

In 2021 Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) updated their Liquid Trade Waste Management Guidelines for Local Government.

In 2022 NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) proposed a revision in the list of liquid trade waste charges a customer should pay for the discharging of liquid waste into Council’s sewerage system.

Council invited the community to offer written feedback and submissions on the proposed Liquid Trade Waste Policy updates aiming to improve how we:

  1. Monitor liquid trade waste
  2. Work with customers to improve the quality of liquid trade waste discharged
  3. Provide an environmentally responsible liquid trade waste service to business customers
  4. Protect our assets, workers, systems, public health and environment though enforcement and appropriate use of penalties
  5. Communicate and interact with our customers to achieve better compliance and efficiency outcomes
