The Environment Protection (Industrial Waste Resource) Amendment Regulations 2016 were made on 22 November 2016 and take effect from 7 December 2016.
These amendments clarify the beneficial reuse provisions and embed the waste codes in the regulations.
There are two key changes:
- Two principles have been included in a definition of beneficial reuse to give industry more clarity and increase the correct use of the beneficial reuse tools.
- Waste codes have been inserted into the regulations and minor updates have occurred to the wording of some of the waste codes for greater clarity and consistency.
