QLD councils to receive waste levy payments

The Queensland Government will provide $143 million in advance payments to councils, to assist with waste levy transition costs.

The levy, which began 1 July, applies to most commercial and industrial waste going to landfill – starting at $75 per tonne.

“We are sticking by our commitment that ratepayers will not have to pay more to put out their wheelie bins or take a load of rubbish to the tip because of the waste levy,” Ms Enoch said.

“We are providing $143 million in advance payments to councils to ensure they don’t have to pass on the cost to ratepayers.”

Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch said the government’s new Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy presents a vision for Queensland to become a zero-waste society.

“Queensland is generating waste faster than we are growing in population and this needs to be addressed,” Ms Enoch said.

“The new waste levy will do that, and help attract investment, develop new industries and products, and grow jobs across the state in the resource recovery sector.”
