Green Industries SA – Streaky Bay Salvage Shed Grant The Development Application for this grant has been lodged and procurement to purchase and install the salvage shed completed. The construction of the shed will be started once development approval has been received. Streaky Bay Transfer Station The lunchroom and toilet has finished construction and the contractors are making good use of the facilities. Multiple reports have been received about the volume of cardboard stored in the shed and was to make the facility more efficient are being looked into. See budget proposal for next financial year for more information on this. CDL Recycling The CDL has kicked off to a fantastic start with $17,319.62 being paid out through the service to date. Streaky Bay Landfill Closure This project is on track - Contractors have been engaged and set a start date of the 19th March 2018. Letters sent out to property owners in the road reserve areas advising of the upcoming project and impacts. Haslam, Poochera and Wirrulla Landfill Closure Waiting on EPA advice. Cungena Landfill Redesign of cell two at the Cungena Landfill is underway with a project scope of creating more space (and therefore more life) in the cell.

Sceale Bay Landfill Waiting on EPA advice. Hard Waste Collection The new methodology and reduced rates for delivery of steel, cardboard and green waste to the Streaky Bay Transfer Station has worked well. The initial week long period of opening was well received and Council had four residents requiring the home pick up service. Due to the amount saved Council are now able to provide an additional service this year which has been programmed from the 16th to 22nd April 2018 Grease Trap Waste Options for the storage of grease trap waste at the Streaky bay Transfer Station have been looked into. The EPA’s advice was – “Liquid waste cannot be disposed to landfill by mandatory provision of the Waste to Resources Policy. So your only options are for collection by a licensed transporter (who must then dispose of the waste legally i.e. at an appropriately licensed site) or to bulk up the grease trap waste so that it is not liquid. This can be done in a concrete or impervious bay with the addition and blending of sand or sawdust. Some regional Councils have looked into using grain dust which may also work. The trick is to blend in enough so that it is not liquid and can then be disposed to landfill. There is a liquid waste storage tank in Port Lincoln, owned by Veolia at Council’s transfer station so we know that Veolia service Eyre Peninsula for this waste. As far as I know most Southern Eyre grease trap waste goes there or is transported to Port Augusta. DC Port Augusta receive some liquid wastes at their licensed site” The storage of grease trap waste is a service Streaky Bay is missing and construction of such a facility should be included for development in the Waste Management Strategy. Waste Collection Levy A review of the waste collection levy will be undertaken by Corporate Services to ensure all properties on the waste collection route are being charged a service where required. A review of costs for this service is also being undertaken and results will be noted in the Annual Business Plan. Kerbside Recycling A Public Consultation programme will be ran during February 2018 per the report presented to Council in January seeking the community’s interest with this service. Recommendation That the Committee, having considered Report No 4.1, Information Management Committee meeting, dated 8 February 2018, recommend that Council receive and note the report.

Ms Joy HentschkeChief Executive OfficerDistrict Council of Streaky BayPO Box 179STREAKYBAY SA 5680

Dear Ms Hentschke

Thank you for your letter dated 29 November 2017 and received by my officeon 18 December 2017 concerning a motion by the District Council of StreakyBay relating to waste levy.

The South Australian Government is committed to maintaining the state's

clean and green reputation - vital to sectors such as tourism and premium

food and wine. This reputation in part has been built on the State's recyclingachievements.

Over 81 per cent of all rubbish in the state is diverted away from landfill,helping create and support a $1 billion industry that supports almost 5,000South Australian jobs.

Recognising the value of the industry, including that for every 10,000 tonnesof waste diverted from landfill creates 9.2 fulltimejobs as opposed 2.8 jobs ifit ended up in landfill, the Government is committed to helping the wasteand resource recovery industry grow while also improving the State's

national and international leading recycling rate.

As part of this, we undertook extensive consultations prior to reforming the

State's waste levy. The levy provides financial incentives that encourage

waste to be recycled rather than be simply sent to landfill.

Economic analysis has identified that up to 350 jobs could be created as areresult of the reforms.

Attachment 1

The State Government has also implemented a suite of targeted programmes

to incentivise and facilitate investment into waste management infrastructure,

technologies, processes and resource recovery systems and market

development.

Since 2004, over $100 million has been spent on programmes and projectsthat have stimulated councils, businesses and the community to reduce,

reuse, recycle and recover, thereby cutting the amount of waste going directly

to landfill.

In the 2016-17, the Government committed to a four year funding programme

in the following areas:

• $14 million to support Local Government infrastructure investment,

waste education programmes, household hazardous waste collection

and innovative solutions for problematic waste;

• $12.4 million towards grant programmes for the waste and resource

recovery industry for infrastructure assessment and innovations, and

levy waivers for particular waste;

• $7.9 million for waste regulation reform implementation and

compliance; and

• $7.8 million for site contamination assessment and remediation of

orphan sites.

There is currently a grant round open for Councils to secure funding to help

reduce kerbside rubbish. I have enclosed a copy of the guidelines andapplication form for this grant.

I understand that the District Council of Streaky Bay has directly benefitedfrom funding provided by the Government, comprising the following:

• an award this year of a Recycling Infrastructure Grant of $ 16,600towards a salvage shed at the local transfer station;

• a 2014-15 Regional Infrastructure Grants Programme award of

$140,000 towards development of a waste transfer and resource

recovery facility in Streaky Bay;

• in 2014, $5,800 for purchase of a shipping container for the storage ofe-waste; and

• in 2007-08, $86,600 towards the purchase of recycling equipment andconstruction of a storage area for joint recycling venture with Bay

Recycling to reduce the cardboard, steel can, non-deposit plastic and

glass being deposited into the Streaky Bay landfill.

Attachment 1

The Government has removed the waste levy payable on packaged asbestos

waste. This recognises the hazardous nature of asbestos and seeks to assist

with the proper handling and disposal of the material, as well as reduce thepotential risk of illegal dumping.

Furthermore, levy rates for scrap metal recycling residues from specified

recyclers have been held at $62 per tonne across 2016-17 and 2017-18, noting

there is no established alternative to landfill for large amounts of shredder floc,a by-product of metal recycling. Levy rates for metal recyclers in future years

will be subject to review.

Thank you for taking the time to write to me and I trust the aboveinformation is of assistance.

Yours sincerely

Attachment 1

ForewordGreen Industries SA helps develop the green economy in response to the demand for clean and green

produce, and the reduction of emissions to air, water and soil from industry. Green Industries SA promotes

the more efficient use of resources, and the conservation and recovery of resources.

The Kerbside Performance Plus Food Organics Incentives Program assists councils to implement

sustainable and efficient food organics recycling systems. It recognises that disposing food to landfill

represents the loss of a potentially valuable resource and that when food organics are blended with kerbside

green organic material, it improves the quality and nutrient value of the processed compost.

There is increasing awareness in the community about the need to reduce food waste. The influence of

media, through the advocacy of celebrity chefs, high profile organisations such as OzHarvest and

government programs, has made food waste a mainstream issue.

However, changing behaviour on a large scale is the key to widespread and sustainable food waste

reduction and this needs to be supported through appropriate infrastructure and education. Food organics

still comprises about 3.3 kilograms of a typical household waste bin presented for a weekly pickup in a

metropolitan Adelaide kerbside collection. If 70% of metropolitan Adelaide councils took up food organics

recycling and approximately 70% of the households in those councils participated, there is potential to

remove an estimated 30,000 tonnes of food organics from landfill (equivalent to 3,000 truckloads) each year.

In 2008-09 Zero Waste SA supported 10 South Australian councils in a household recycling food organics

pilot which tested different systems and collection frequencies. The pilot involved the distribution of

containers to residents in discrete geographic areas, and subsequent kerbside audits and market research to

evaluate performance. The final summary report about the pilot, Valuing our Food 1/Vaste, highlights the

diversion results achieved by each system and includes a summary of market research relating to the

different systems. The final report is at httD://www.qreenindustries.sa.ciov.au/publications-food-waste. The

report's findings have informed the development of this program and knowledge of how to achieve high

performing systems which maximise diversion from landfill and participation by householders.

The Kerbside Performance Plus Food Organics Incentives Program supports the objectives of South

Australia's Waste Strategy 2015-2020:

• a resource efficient economy where the best or full value is secured from products and materials

produced, consumed and recovered across the State

• a stable and efficient market for investors through a clear policy framework providing a solid platform

for investment decisions

• a culture enabling the South Australian community, businesses and institutions to continue and

strengthen their role in implementing zero waste strategies and programs locally, nationally and

internationally.

Attachment 1

Financial incentives to recycle food organicsThe Kerbside Performance Plus Food Organics Incentives Program provides support to councils to

implement sustainable and efficient food organics recycling systems. In doing so, the financial incentives aim

to meet targets in South Australia's Strategic Plan and South Australia's Waste Strategy 2015-2020.

The level of financial incentives provided will depend on the council's approach towards introducing food

organics recycling. The key elements of the financial incentive are as follows:

• A contribution towards the cost of a food waste system - up to 50% of cost of containers and education

material included with containers at the time of distribution, to a maximum of $10 per tenement paid in

advance.

• A satisfactory performance report is due 12 months after the system has been rolled-out.

• Financial support towards the system costs (up to $3 per tenement per annum) will also be available in

each subsequent year for up to five years, subject to a performance target being met. Failure to provide

the performance report will deem councils ineligible for further grants.

Performance-based reporting and financial support (level 2)Where a council is provided with a grant of $150,000 or more upfront for the introduction of a food waste

system, a kerbside audit must be undertaken within 12 months of the service being introduced (see

Measuring and reporting performance - audits on page 5 of these Guidelines). Financial support towards

system costs (the eligible payment being up to $3 per tenement per annum) wilt also be available in each

subsequent year for up to five years through a grant agreement, where:

• A council can demonstrate a net reduction in the residual waste stream of 1.3 kilograms or greater

associated with the introduction of a food waste system, or

• An audit indicates a yield of food waste of 1.3 kilograms or greater in the kerbside green organics stream

in the first year of operation.

Where targets are not met, pro-rata payments will be made as follows:

• 1.20 < 1.30 kilograms per household - 90% of eligible calculated payment

• 1.10 < 1.20 kilograms per household - 80% of eligible calculated payment

• < 1.10 kilograms per household - 70% of eligible calculated payment

What do councils need to consider?

Container selection

Evidence from the food organics pilot shows that the use by householders of kitchen containers increases

the diversion of food organics. When combined with educational material (e.g. bin lid stickers) and

awareness raising efforts, the containers act as a prompt located in the right place and time.

4

Attachment 1

Containers trialled in the pilot included a ventilated basket using a cornstarch liner and an unlined caddy.

Both were used as a kitchen bench-top receptacle for residents to place food organics generated through

food storage, preparation and/or consumption. When the containers were full residents placed the contents

in their kerbside green organics bin for collection and processing.

The amount of food organics diverted will depend upon many factors. Performance of the lined ventilated

basket and unlined caddy varied during the pilot. Before submitting an application, councils are encouraged

to consider the outcomes of the 2009-10 food waste pilot (including market research findings and kerbside

audit results).

Where containers are proposed, applications should identify the type of container as well as any other costs

necessary for their introduction. This will include cost of container, assembly (if required), labelling/branding,

distribution, and maintenance (if applicable).

Lined containers

The pilot showed that the use of liners in association with a bench-top container increases the diversion of

food organics. The use of cornstarch liners reduces the need for container cleaning, enables easier transfer

of the material to the green organics bin and reduces odours. Where liners are required, these must be

compostable and made of cornstarch or equivalent and should be printed with an educational message

about correct use. The distribution and on-going supply of a sufficient number of liner bags to residents and

the cost of the bags is a matter that should be determined by council before choosing a preferred food

organics recycling system.

Councils will need to make some informed assumptions regarding the average number of bags required per

week per household to ensure sufficient supply and in order to maintain correct use with the system.

As part of the pilot, an initial supply of 150 cornstarch liner bags were provided with the ventilated basket for

each participating household trialling this approach. This allocation was expected to last each household for

about a year based on the use of two to three bags per week. This amount is considered a reasonable

guide, although it may vary depending on the number of people per household, food storage, preparation

and food consumption habits.

Grant funding towards liner bags will only be endorsed where containers are ventilated (requiring ongoing

use of liner bags). Subject to the level of competition for grant funding, preference will be given to area-wide

distribution of lined and ventilated containers, due to the higher diversion rates that residents achieve using

such systems. GISA is investigating alternative ways to distribute bags to remove barriers to participation

and encourage the mainstream uptake of food waste recycling by householders. Meanwhile, councils are

invited to consider additional distribution methods, such as through retailers, to improve the accessibility to

free-issue bags by householders who may not readily visit a council office or library.

Green Industries SA will contribute financial incentives towards the roll-out of unlined / non-ventilated food

organics systems, but councils must be mindful that continued education may be required to maintain

performance levels. This is primarily due to lower participation rates with these systems.

Attachment 1

Education and information

Whichever approach is adopted by councils for diversion of food organics from landfill, education through

information dissemination is essential to raise and maintain awareness. The use of education material must

clearly define food and other organic material that can be diverted to the green organics bin and material that

should not (contaminants).

Measuring and reporting performance - audits

Access to accurate, reliable and consistent data through the conduct of kerbside audits helps councils and

Green Industries SA to plan future waste reduction strategies. Important reasons for undertaking a kerbside

audit include:

• Providing feedback to the community on their recycling efforts

• Reviewing the performance of a new system

• Reviewing an existing system prior to tendering for a new kerbside contract (or at a mid-term review)

• Validating kerbside yields to Green Industries SA

All councils provided with funding through this program will be required to submit a Kerbside Performance

Report to Green Industries SA. For councils that receive incentive payments of $150,000 or greater, Green

Industries SA requires the conduct of a kerbside waste and recycling audit by the council as part of this

reporting process. The Kerbside Performance Reporting guide includes the methodology for conducting

kerbside waste and recycling audits, see

http://www.areenindustries.sa.gov.au/ literature 179594/Guide to Kerbside Performance Reporting (2007)

Councils receiving a grant under $150,000 are not required to carry out audits, but are required to submit

simplified reports.

Kerbside collection or backyard composting

The Kerbside Performance Plus Food Organics Incentives are provided to encourage the diversion of food

organics from the residual waste stream. Whilst a specifically designed kitchen-based food organics system

is expected to achieve high participation and diversion rates, it will also involve some cost for the processing

of putrescibles.

By comparison, backyard composting has a place in encouraging increased retention of food organics and

other vegetative material on-site without further collection or processing costs. Where the use of home-

based composting is proposed, Green Industries SA may consider providing an incentive payment, if the

approach is supported by appropriate education and information. The program will contribute 50% toward

the cost of home-based composting units (up to a maximum of $10) and the requirement for auditing of

home composting systems is not required. Green Industries SA will require a list of residents that have taken

up a council offer for a home composting unit as well as copies of educational materials and strategies

related to this approach.

Attachment 1

Total system costs

Applicants are encouraged to review the Business Case for Councils to Undertake Co-collection of Food

Waste with Garden Organics report, available at

http://www.cireenindustries.sa.flov.au/ literature 179593/Bjjsiness_case for .councils to undertake co-

collection of food waste with garden organics (2007)

This report outlines assumptions on various aspects of introducing a food organics system, as well as

forecasts on potential yields that could be achieved.

What is the incentive offer?South Australian councils can apply to Green Industries SA for funding under the Kerbside Performance Plus

Food Organics Incentives on a 'per serviced tenement' basis.

Green Industries SA will provide up to 50% of the costs up to a maximum of $10 as an up-front payment with

council needing to provide a satisfactory performance report within 12 months of the system roll-out. For

councils introducing a high performing system (and achieving the performance target of a 1.3 kilogram

reduction in the residual waste stream) level 2 payments will be available on a per tenement basis for up to

five years.

This program provides for an initial up-front payment, with a performance-based incentive available for up to

five subsequent years. Total funds provided will depend on the system / approach adopted by council.

What are the conditions attached with the offer?• Councils must enter into a signed grant agreement with Green Industries SA in which the council

commits to introducing a food waste system.

• Where containerised systems (e.g. ventilated basket or caddy) are proposed, these must be used in

conjunction with a green organics kerbside service at not less than a fortnightly basis.

• Support and maintain an approved service /approach with necessary education materials for a minimum

period of three years.

Other conditions• A condition of funding for applicants receiving an up-front grant of $150,000 or more is to provide a

kerbside waste and recycling audit report to Green Industries SA within 12 months of the introduction of

a kerbside food organics collection service / approach. Audits are to be undertaken using the agency's

kerbside auditing methodology, including a representative sample of 100 bins for each kerbside stream.

Audits are to be undertaken between 1 March and 31 May of the reporting year. For purposes of the

diversion rate, calculations should not include hard refuse.

• A condition of funding is that organic material collected for processing/composting will only be processed

at an appropriately licensed EPA facility, managed according to EPA and other planning requirements,

Attachment 1

and that the material is processed into soil improvement products of which a significant portion is sold to

third parties not affiliated with the collection company or processor.

• Community communications materials such as information brochures are to be checked by Green

Industries SA before publication.

• Applicants should maintain the food organics system outlined in their application for at least five years.

• Councils failing to provide a performance report will be ineligible for further grants through Green

Industries SA.

What is a 'serviced tenement'?A serviced tenement is usually a household, but may be a business if it is using the same kerbside waste

and recycling service as surrounding households. The number of serviced tenements within a given council

may be different for one component of the service when compared with another. For example, a council that

provides an optional green organics service may have 26,000 serviced tenements for the residual waste

service but only 18,000 serviced tenements for the green organics component. The incentive payment will be

calculated and based on the serviced tenements actually receiving the prescribed service.

Contractual arrangements

Successful councils will be required to sign a grant agreement with Green Industries SA before receiving

funding. The agreement wilt be for an initial five years and will set out the performance standards that the

council has agreed to maintain for that period. Councils with an existing food waste service are eligible for

the level 2 performance-based payments (up to five years total subject to funding availability in years four

and five), with payments to be facilitated through a new grant agreement.

Privacy and commercial-in-confidence considerations

All applications will be treated as commercial-in-confidence. Green Industries SA reserves the right to

include third party evaluations as part of the assessment process and has the ultimate discretion in relation

to publicity for applications. Applicants shall not publicise their projects without the approval of Green

Industries SA.

Application of grant moniesSuccessful applicants will be required to apply grant funds to the roll-out and continued support of kerbside

systems. While not a key feature of the grant assessment process, councils will be required to commit to

applying grant funds in this way in order to ensure appropriate expenditure of waste levy-derived funds by

Green Industries SA. This commitment forms part of the on-line declaration by the council and will be a

requirement of the contract between the council and Green Industries SA.

Assessment processApplications will be assessed and prioritised based on the following essential criteria.

Essential criteria

• Does the project request no more than 50% funding contribution by Green Industries SA?

• Does the project use proven technology or technology that has been successfully demonstrated to

pilot scale?

• Has council resolved to implement a food organics system, and are adequate funds set aside in the

budget (if no, can you confirm when council will consider a report on food organics systems)?

• Does the project have a clear timetable for roll-out?

• What communications material will be provided, and have sufficient funds been allocated in the

budget proposal?

• Have quotes been provided for materials according to council's purchasing policy?

• What is the expected diversion potential of the proposed system?

No project is guaranteed an allocation of funds by Green Industries SA. Funding through this program will

be made entirely on a competitive basis, and Green Industries SA reserves the right to direct the funds to

projects that are considered to be of most benefit.

Funding agreementSuccessful applicants will be required to enter into a funding agreement with Green Industries SA. This

agreement will set out the terms of the grant, conditions, payment schedules, project timing, key

performance indicators, reporting requirements and other matters.

All required approvals, such as a council resolution, are to be provided within three months of the initial

notification of the success of the application.

Green Industries SA must be acknowledged in all media and promotional activities relating to the project; the

statement 'this project has been funded by Green Industries SA' or similar, would satisfy this requirement.

Additional assistance may be provided where councils use Recycle Right® or 'Good to Go' template

material. Copies of completed education material are to be provided to Green Industries SA.
