Policy Review - Draft Liquid Trade Waste Policy

At Port Macquarie-Hastings Council’s Ordinary Council Meeting held on 16 February 2022, Council resolved to place the Draft Liquid Trade Waste Policy on exhibition for a period of 28 days.

The Liquid Trade Waste Policy was last reviewed by Council in 2018. As part of the NSW Best Practice Management of Water Supply and Sewerage Framework, this policy ensures sound regulation and pricing of sewerage and liquid trade waste.

The Liquid Trade Waste Management Guidelines, issued by NSW Government, have recently been reviewed and have ultimately been updated and re-issued in 2021. The intent and objectives of these Guidelines have not changed, but there have been some slight variations to acceptance limits and categorisation of some discharges and activities. Changes made have been incorporated into Council’s updated Draft Policy and Procedure.

The Draft Policy and Procedure will be on exhibition from Wednesday 23 February 2022 to Tuesday 22 March 2022 and are available to view in the document library to the right (or below if viewing this page on a mobile device).
