This is the body text 1. The Resource Hub team supports facilities to better “own their
waste administration” when it comes to Waste Levy, as the reality is that a small change in
site layout and operational process can have a large impact on waste levy liability.
In this instance, from July 2020, a handful of our client’s customers who had previously
disposed of all waste in landfill were now being redirected to the Resource Recovery Area
to allow for improved sorting. A disconnect between the gatehouse team and the
administrative team had meant that this change wasn’t being reflected in the transactional
data and waste levy returns for the site. It was only when the regulatory return was
reviewed by the manager prior to submission that it was noted that the waste levy liability
appeared a little high.
The team wasn’t able to clearly identify what had led to the change so Council picked up
the phone and gave us a call. A 30-minute review of the transactional data behind the
scenes highlighted the anomaly, which in turn highlighted a need to update the
transactional system’s predefined data and also add a few checks and balances into the
business processes of Council.
