With the state Environmental Protection Authority due to appoint a CDS scheme co-ordinator and collection network operator in April 2017, Mr. Rogut said this would leave only a short time for implementation of the scheme. The final collection network will be determined by the Network Operators who are currently in the final stages of a competitive tender process. Network Operators will be required to establish collection infrastructure that meets minimum access requirements to ensure that people in NSW have access to collection sites.
Key Takeaways:
- no infrastructure is in place for the collection of containers; there has been no indication as to the quantum of the levy which will be imposed upon Beverage Manufacturers who produce containers;
- “The final collection network will be determined by the Network Operators who are currently in the final stages of a competitive tender process.
- “These requirements are based on population, opening hours and remoteness and it will be up to network operators to determine how best to meet these requirements.”
