2. Outline � MSW Infrastructure Schedule Part 2 � Municipal Solid Waste Infrastructure Schedule Legislation Draft Schedule content Assessment of need Existing infrastructure Future opportunities Procurement of waste services Possible new facility locations Planning review Looking forward

3. Infrastructure Schedule - legislation The Municipal Solid Waste Infrastructure Schedule for metropolitan Melbourne will include: Assessment of the need, priorities and general preferred locations for municipal waste management facilities (other than landfill) A detailed description of existing municipal waste and resource recovery infrastructure Identification of the type, timeframe and general location of new municipal waste and resource recovery infrastructure

4. Draft Infrastructure Schedule Content Infrastructure Needs Assessment Existing Infrastructure Resource Recovery Opportunities from Waste Streams Resource Recovery Future Opportunities Waste Services Procurement Possible New Facility Locations Planning Review Coordinating Interests AWT Assessment Matrix Looking Forward

5. Infrastructure Need Assessment Under the Infrastructure Need Assessment section the following assessment was undertaken: Current Systems: Types and tonnages of materials currently being collected at kerbside and recovery rates Current Kerbside Collection Systems: current kerbside collection systems and bins in use Kerbside Reprocessor Contract Dates: review of current kerbside reprocessor contract expiry dates New Collection System Scenarios: comparison of current �inner� and �outer� municipal collection services and diversion rates

6. Commingled: Reprocessor Council Contract Expiry Timelines

7. Existing infrastructure � future capacities MWMG have assessed current key facilities receiving kerbside materials for recovery The assessment reviewed key facilities and possible future capacities. These included: Materials Recovery Facilities Green Organics Facilities Food Organics Facilities Future Waste Treatment Options C&I Mechanical Separation

11. Council Clusters MWMG has assessed the opportunity to cluster councils to provide a consolidation of materials for potential future Resource Recovery Facilities (RRF) Clusters based on waste types and tonnage generations Geographic location of member councils within the clusters Assessment of existing RRF Previous Metropolitan Waste Management Group boundaries

12. Potential Resource Recovery Facilities Future RRF will potentially need to handle: Dry Waste Wet Waste Green/Food Bin collection systems need to be considered in conjunction with the processing facilities eg: 3 bin & 2 bin (inner & outer)

13. Potential Resource Recovery Facility issues MWMG understands the future of any RRF will only be viable if a number of the current hurdles are cleared these include: RRF Gate Fee parity with landfill rates Appropriate planning & sitting of facilities Confidence that facility can provide on all commitments Security to Council that operators are committed for the long term and beyond the life of the existing contract Procurement of RRF needs to ensure minimal risk to councils

14. Procurement of waste services EPA Act MWMG is required to plan, coordinate and facilitate metropolitan councils� procurement of waste management and resource recovery services Procurement Guidelines Steering Committee in place Workshop planned for Nov 2007 Guidelines due to be completed by early 2008

15. Procurement implementation issues Siting facilities - selection criteria Resolving waste stream issues Finalising procurement guidelines Community consultation Strategic and statutory land use planning approvals Environmental approvals Independent due diligence around combination of technologies (hardware) and collection regime Risk sharing between State, LG and proponent

16. Possible new facility locations Hyder Consulting have carried out the assessment of options - Analysis of Options for the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Strategic plan

17. Possible new facility locations cont.

18. Review of Waste transfer and recyclingfacility provisions in planning schemes The four key areas for review are: The appropriateness of the existing definitions for waste transfer stations and materials recycling facilities The appropriateness of the land use controls applying to these facilities The effectiveness of the mechanisms available to ensure these facilities comply with regulatory requirements Any other matter that the Advisory Committee considers will improve outcomes

19. Assessment Matrix

20. Looking Forward This section looks at a broad range of issues that will impact on the potential development of future reprocessing facilities For any potential future technology the following will also need to be addressed: Local government & industry buy-in Landfill gate fee Carbon trading Community engagement Market development

21. Outline � Metropolitan Landfill Schedule Part 3 � Metropolitan Landfill Schedule Legislation Waste Management Policy Consultation to date Historic trends Northwest and southeast airspace Summary of key issues

22. Landfill Schedule - Legislation Preparation of Schedule is required in Environment Protection Act the schedule is required to: specify the proposed sequence for the filling of available landfill sites for at least the next 10 years include a program for replacing and rehabilitating existing landfill sites list the intended or likely date of closure of each landfill site identify options for future landfill capacity The new schedule will cover 10 years from 2008 to 2017

23. Waste Management Policy Key elements of the Waste Management Policy in formulating the Schedule 8 (1) Integration of Economic, Social and Environmental Considerations � measures adopted must be cost effective and proportionate to environmental problems Intent of the Policy is to minimise development and use of landfills Policy sets out siting criteria that were used to developing rankings

24. Consultation to Date General Industry Briefings � April 07 Issues Workshops � July 07 Briefing on landfill schedule � July 07 Expressions of Interest process � Aug 07 Consultation with targeted groups � Sept-Dec 07 Landfill Vic, Vic WMAA etc Local government Adjacent Regional Waste Management Groups Consultants and site owners on request

25. Historical Trends

26. North west airspace

27. South east airspace

28. Key Points Increasing trend of transport from east to west in particular solid inert wastes Current scheduled sites provide adequate space for scheduled period (2008-2017) Another solid inert site may be required towards end of scheduled period If suitable sites are available and need exists, a new site is preferable to transportation over long distances
