GEMG

The Goldfields Environmental Management Group (GEMG) is a technical and professional body of

people working to achieve environmental excellence. Most of our members predominantly work within

the mining industry of the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, which includes employees of

mining and exploration companies, environmental consultancy and service organisations and

government agencies. The GEMG was formed in 1988 by a small number of individuals involved in

land rehabilitation in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.

The GEMG provides a source of information on environmental management practices with a focus

on the mining industry; exploring issues such as community & external stakeholders, ecology (flora &

vegetation, fauna, stygofauna etc.), environmental education & communication, environmental

management systems, legislation, regulatory approvals & processes, materials characterisation, mine

closure, rehabilitation, waste management, recycling, water management.

Every two years the GEMG facilitates a conference on Environmental Management held in Kalgoorlie-

Boulder, Western Australia. The first workshop was held in 1988 and is now regarded as the premier

environmental event to attend. This event offers great value for money and provides an excellent

networking opportunity for environmental professionals from all over Western Australia (and beyond)

and is attended by approximately 300 delegates.

Executive Summary

At the Goldfields Environmental Management Group (GEMG) workshop in 2014, there were discussions

around opportunities to improve upon existing waste management practices in the Region with many

organisations, represented by GEMG members, committed to enhancing their social licence to

operate. GEMG recognise the issues the Region faces and, as such, has a strong desire to assist in the

advancement of Region’s waste management systems. Out of these discussions, the idea for

undertaking a Waste Data and Priorities Study in the Goldfields Region was born.

This Study aims to support and build upon existing work undertaken in the Region on the matter.

Specifically, the Study was undertaken to collect and publish data to achieve the following key

objectives:

1. Support regional policy development;

2. Assist waste services and infrastructure planning;

3. Understanding regional waste management priorities; and

4. Guide investment.

In order to achieve these objectives, stakeholders across the region were invited to provide their waste

data to obtain a comprehensive picture of current waste management systems and practices within

the Study Area for the key waste streams. In addition to the data request, respondents were asked to

provide their views on what they believe to be the key waste management priorities in the Region.

Methodology

In order to gather the waste data in a consistent manner from all respondents, a three level Waste

Classification System (WCS) was utilised. The WCS was similar to that developed for the Pilbara and

Broome Waste Data Study in 2012. The WCS aligns with the Department of Environment Regulation’s

(DER) Controlled Waste Category list, which was revised in 2014. The WCS classifies waste materials

according to the following three levels:

Stream: the three traditional waste streams of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Commercial and

Industrial (C&I) and Construction and Demolition (C&D);

Sector: the sector of the economy from which the waste was generated (e.g. domestic;

mining); and

Material Type: describing the composition of the waste (e.g. kerbside refuse).

To guide the analysis and presentation of the data, six Sub-catchment Areas were formed reflecting

the key generation, treatment locations and waste flows within the Study Area (Figure 1). The Sub-

catchment Areas are:

Greater Wiluna Sub-catchment Area (including Wiluna townsite); Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area (including Leonora and Laverton townsites);

Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area (including Menzies to Norseman and towns in

between);

Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Area;

Esperance Sub-catchment Area (including Esperance townsite); and

Ravensthorpe Sub-catchment Area (including Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun townsites).

Figure E2: Treatment of Waste Generated within the Study Area 2014/15

Some waste materials were exported from one Sub-catchment Area to another for treatment. In

addition, 36,499 tonnes of waste was exported outside of the Study Area for treatment, predominantly

to Perth or interstate.

Projections

Population growth rates combined with per capita waste generation rates are utilised for the waste

projections. As with the Pilbara and Broome Waste Data Study, it is considered that population provides

the most reliable indicator for growth in waste generation across all three waste streams despite its

acknowledged limitations as an indicator for C&I and C&D wastes. Population growth also results in

increases in construction activity, producing C&D waste, and new operating facilities producing C&I

waste.

As a consequence, waste generation up to 2035 was projected using published population growth

scenarios along with current per capita waste generation rates for each of the three waste streams.

The Study adopted three growth scenarios (high, medium and low) for each Sub-catchment Area and

the Study Area overall in order to consider varying levels of future population growth and associated

waste generation. The primary sources of population data were the Australian Bureau of Statistics and

Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) WA Tomorrow. The following three population growth

scenarios, based on current per capita waste generation rates, are:

High growth rate –WAPC, WA Tomorrow 2026 (Band E)

Medium growth rate – GEDC Regional Investment Blueprint (aspirational)

Low growth rate – GEDC Blueprint (historical)

Figure E3: Projection of Waste Generation in the Study Area to 2035

The use of past trends to predict future population and economic activity can be unreliable due to

impacts of individual projects. Given its geographical isolation, relatively small and dispersed

population and typically large-scale resource development projects, population is considered to be

strongly influenced by growth in the resources sector. Within the Study Area, a significant proportion of

the population is involved directly, or indirectly, in the resources industry.

Waste Data Findings

256,945 tonnes of waste generated in Study Area in 2014/15;

Across the Study Area, nearly two thirds (63%) of waste was generated from the C&I stream,

27% originated in the MSW stream and the remaining 10% was generated from the C&D

stream.

Figure E4 shows the breakdown of waste generation by streams across the Study Area and by

Sub-catchment Area.

The Study Area achieved an overall diversion from landfill rate of 20.4% across all waste

streams.

There was an estimated 36,499 tonnes of waste exported from the Study Area for treatment.

However, the actual quantities of waste exported are likely to be higher as waste that was

recorded as being recycled in the Study Area (predominantly in Kalgoorlie-Boulder) would be

subsequently sent outside of the Study Area for export to international markets.

Figure E5: Waste Treatment Method Breakdown by Sub-catchment Area

Figure E5 sets out the waste treatment methods breakdown by Sub-catchment Area. This

illustrates the variation between Sub-catchment Areas, with the southern Sub-catchment Areas

of Esperance and Ravensthorpe relying predominantly on public landfill for waste disposal with

86% and 66% respectively. The Greater Wiluna and Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Areas

have little to no reliance on public landfills with private on-site landfills for waste disposal being

the predominant waste treatment method.

The Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area is unique to the Study Area in that waste

generators utilise both public and on-site landfills for waste treatment with 79% and 7%

respectively.

Overall, the Study Area has a high reliance on landfills, both public and on-site, for waste

treatment accounting for 77% of all waste generated.

Key waste management priorities

In addition to requesting waste data, stakeholders were also invited to provide their views on what they

believed to be the key waste management priorities in the Study Area. As part of this process,

respondents were asked to provide their views on:

Peak waste streams;

Problematic waste;

Waste management infrastructure gaps and opportunities; and

Market gaps and opportunities.

Peak waste streams, for the purposes of the Study, are those materials that are the highest quantities

of waste generated each year. The top 5 material types generated within the Study Area in 2014/15

are shown in Table E5. The largest peak waste stream was mixed refuse with 107,994 tonnes of waste

generated.

Problematic wastes were identified by both Local Government Authorities and Waste Generator

respondents (Table E6). Waste Generators highlighted a number of similar problematic wastes like tyres

and packaging materials, along with industry-specific wastes such as contaminated soils.

Lastly, respondents were asked to provide their views on waste infrastructure and market gaps in the

Study Area as well as their proposed solutions. A key message communicated from numerous

respondents was that there are limited waste management services in the Region to treat problematic

waste in a cost effective manner.

The following waste infrastructure and market gaps were identified by Study respondents:

Local industrial waste and recycling management facilities;

Hydrocarbon contaminated soil collection and processing service;

Lack of market for recyclables;

Household waste recycling in the Northern Goldfields;

A lack of appropriate household hazardous waste management;

Regional collaboration for waste management infrastructure;

Organic waste processing facility in Central Goldfields; and

Alternative waste treatment (AWT).

Talis undertook a review of the key waste management priorities identified by respondents and

proposes a variety of potential solutions that would warrant further detailed consideration including a

Regional or joint approach to waste management. These potential solutions include:

Amalgamation and commitment of waste tonnages;

Regional or joint tendering of waste management services; and

Further reporting of waste tonnages and priorities to the waste sector.

Discussion

There is a high reliance on landfill across the Study Area for the treatment of waste generated.

There are a number of reasons for this including both regional and local factors. Currently,

there is no landfill levy within regional Western Australia, which financially penalises the use of

landfills to drive the diversion of material from landfills.

There are 50 landfills located in the Study Area, this includes 30 licensed landfills and 20

registered landfills. There is significant variation in the utilisation of public and on-site landfills

across the Study Area with 38 on-site landfills and 12 public landfills.

A total of 14%, or 36,499 tonnes, of waste generated is exported out of the Study Area for

treatment. Most of this waste is exported to Perth with a small proportion also being transported

interstate for treatment.

The potential development of numerous uranium mining operations in the Study Area presents

both challenges and opportunities. There may be opportunities for the region to use the

introduction of this new resource industry as a means for advancing waste management

systems and infrastructure for the betterment of the region as a whole.

Under a high growth scenario, waste generation over the whole Study Area may increase to

over 340,000 tonnes per annum by 2035. Under the low growth scenario, it may increase to

around 307,000 tonnes per annum by 2035.

Total per capita waste generation across the Study Area is 4.17 tonnes, which exceeds the

State average of 2.6 tonnes per capita.

C&I stream was the best performing stream in the Study Area reaching a 26% landfill diversion

rate against a 2015 target of 55% (for C&I) and 70% by 2020.

The overall MSW landfill diversion rate was 12% (against a 2015 Waste Strategy target of 30%).

Recommendations

Talis recognises that this Study is a very important step in the regional collaboration on waste

management initiatives within the Region through all sectors of the waste industry working together to

collect and publish data on waste generation, materials flows and treatment activities. This data will

greatly assist all key decision makers across the waste sector, from generators, Local Governments

and Private Waste Service Providers to make informed decisions on future waste planning exercises as

well as, services and infrastructure investments.

Leveraging from this significant Study and its associated findings, Talis provides the following

recommendations to GEMG and the wider waste sector stakeholders to further advance the waste

management systems across the Region, set out in Table E7.

Table E7: Recommendations

Recommendations Responsibility

Local Governments continues to work collaboratively on waste

management issues across the Region and look to establish a formal

Regional Local Government Forum to progress regional waste

management initiatives, potentially using an existing forum, such as

Goldfields Voluntary Regional Organisation of Councils (GVROC). Specific

initiatives may include:

o Amalgamation of waste tonnages from multiple LGAs to provide

economies of scale with potential for regional or joint tendering

for waste management services, such as mobile plant for

Greenwaste processing, tyre recycling, inert material crushing;

and

o Knowledge sharing and further reporting on tonnages and

priorities to the waste sector.

Local Governments

Waste Generators should look to establish a formal Regional forum to

collaborate and progress regional waste management initiatives and

priorities, which may include:

o Commitment from multiple waste generators to amalgamate

waste tonnages to provide economies of scale with potential for

regional or joint tendering for waste management service; and

o Knowledge sharing and further reporting on tonnages and

priorities to the waste sector.

Waste Generators

Both Groups should collaborate together on regional waste

management issues and initiatives such as joint group meetings, data

and knowledge sharing.

All

Continued collation and sharing of waste generation and treatment

data across the region to facilitate the above initiatives. All

All stakeholders should consider the adoption of a Waste Classification

System to provide a framework for consistent data gathering and

reporting across the Region. As part of this process, consideration should

be given to the Waste Classification System utilised in this Study.

All

Draft recommendations were presented at the GEMG Workshop in May 2016 and were subsequently

revised as part of the consultation process.

1 Introduction

The Eastern Goldfields region covers an area of 950,995km2

in the south-eastern corner of Western

Australia. It includes the entire Goldfields-Esperance Region along with the Shire of Wiluna, which is

over one third of the area of Western Australia and larger than the state of New South Wales.

The region’s current economic profile is dominated by mining in the central and northern parts with

agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture significant industries in the south. Tourism is also a growing

industry across the region.

The Goldfields-Esperance region makes a significant contribution to the Western Australian economy

with an estimated 4.2% of the State’s Gross Regional Product (GRP), almost 10% of the State’s mining

sector ($9,058.3 million in 2012-13) and the second highest per capita contribution in the State with

$163,367 per capita (Department of Regional Development, 2014).

Kalgoorlie-Boulder was identified as a major regional centre within the Western Australian Waste

Strategy (Waste Strategy) prepared by the Waste Authority in 2012 and, more recently, the WA’s

Regional Development Council identified Kalgoorlie-Boulder and Esperance as regional centres that

are vital hubs for the State’s economy.

The Waste Strategy provides targets for diversion of materials from landfill across the three key waste

streams being municipal solid waste (MSW), commercial and industrial (C&I) and construction and

demolition (C&D). The Strategy aims for major regional centres, such as Kalgoorlie-Boulder, to reach

targets of 30% for MSW by 2015 and 50% by 2020. In addition, there are State-wide targets for C&I

waste of 55% by 2015 and 70% by 2020 and C&D waste 60% by 2015 and 75% by 2020.

Current consumption patterns, particularly within the developed world, are generating high volumes

of materials which have traditionally been regarded as waste and disposed of to landfill. Landfilling

waste results in a loss of materials and energy from the supply chain and putrescible landfills generate

methane, a harmful greenhouse gas. In essence – traditional waste management practices are

wasteful.

With an increasing global population and growing demand for resources, these traditional waste

management practices are not sustainable. A fundamental change in current consumption patterns

and waste management systems, as shown in Diagram 1-1, is required to ensure that our natural

resources are preserved for future generations. As robust as our earth has been, the current level of

consumption and wasteful waste management practices cannot be sustained. The ‘do nothing’

option is not an option.

Some of the Local Governments within the Eastern Goldfields have already collaborated on a regional

Strategic Waste Management Plan, which identified waste management issues and

recommendations aimed to facilitate strategic waste management infrastructure planning.

The Goldfields-Esperance 2013 Regional Plan identifies that:

“Effective waste management is growing in importance as a regional issue, given the commitment

to sustainably manage both domestic and industrial waste. There is opportunity to increase the uptake

of comprehensive waste management in the mining and processing sectors”.

At the Goldfields Environmental Management Group (GEMG) workshop in 2014, there were discussions

around opportunities to improve upon existing waste management practices in the Region. GEMG

members work within organisations committed to enhancing their social licence to operate. GEMG

recognise the issues the Region faces and, as such, has a strong desire to assist in the advancement

of waste management systems within the Region. Out of these discussions, the idea for undertaking a

Waste Data and Priorities Study in the Goldfields Region was born.

This Study aims to support and build upon existing work undertaken in the region. Specifically, the Study

was undertaken to collect and publish data to achieve the following key objectives:

1. Support regional policy development;

2. Assist waste services and infrastructure planning;

3. Understanding regional waste management priorities; and

4. Guide investment.

In order to achieve these objectives, stakeholders across the region were invited to provide their waste

data to obtain a comprehensive picture of current waste management systems and practices within

the Study Area for the key waste streams.

1.1 Scope

For the purposes of the Study, the Eastern Goldfields Region (the Study Area) refers to the coastal Shires

of Ravensthorpe and Esperance in the south, the Shires of Dundas and Coolgardie, City of Kalgoorlie-

Boulder, Shire Menzies in the central region and the Shires of Laverton, Leonora and Wiluna in the north

(see map Figure 1).

The scope of this Study was to identify, capture and present data for the three key waste streams –

MSW, C&I and C&D across the Study Area for the 2014/15 financial year.

Future waste generation quantities for the Study Area have also been predicted, across three different

growth scenarios, up until 2035 to provide an indication of the quantity of waste materials that may

require management in the future.

To guide the analysis and presentation of the data, six Sub-catchment Areas were formed reflecting

the key generation, treatment locations and waste flows within the Study Area. The Sub-catchment

Areas are:

Greater Wiluna Sub-catchment Area (including Wiluna townsite);

Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area (including Leonora and Laverton townsites);

Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area (including Menzies to Norseman and towns in

between);

Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Area;

2 Project Approach

The methodology utilised to undertake the Study involved the following tasks, which are discussed in

greater detail in the sub-sections below:

Revision and updating of the Waste Classification System;

Initial discussions with Regional stakeholders including State Government Departments and

Industry Bodies;

Development and implementation of a stakeholder consultation strategy, including workshops

in Kalgoorlie and Perth;

Data collection process;

Data entry and analysis;

Waste streams projections;

Review of regional waste management priorities; and

Reporting.

2.1 Waste Classification System

A Waste Classification System (WCS) was used to assist in the gathering and reporting of waste data

for the Study. The WCS was originally developed for Pilbara and Broome Waste Study that Talis

completed for the Waste Authority in 2012. The WCS was reviewed and updated for the Study to reflect

the latest DER Controlled Waste categories, which were amended in 2014. The WCS was adopted to

achieve the following objectives:

Reflect existing waste management practices to allow mapping of waste management

activities;

Achieve consistency both within the WCS and with standard industry terms and classifications;

Prioritise identification of waste by its source as well as its composition;

Identify the sector of the economy from which the waste is generated, to inform future analysis

and policy development;

Cover ‘cradle to grave’ as much as possible;

Maintain relevance to waste generation within the whole of Western Australia;

Ensure the system is user-friendly; and

Minimise potential for double counting.

To achieve these objectives, each waste type is classified by the WCS using a three-part coding

system, as follows:

Waste Stream – the first part of the WCS identifies the source of the waste by stream, each

with its own Waste Stream Code as follows, Code A – Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Code B –

Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Code C – Construction & Demolition (C&D). Each of the

waste streams are defined in Table 2-1.

Table 2-1: Waste stream definitions

Waste Stream

Definitions

MSW

Residential waste typically managed by Local Government including:

Kerbside or vergeside collections, or dropped off waste;

Waste from public places including from road verges, reserves, beaches, litter bins,

events and street cleaning; and

Incidental commercial waste collected via residential kerbside collections.

C&I Waste generated from, or as the direct result of, commercial and industrial

operations, and waste that is not MSW or C&D waste.

C&D Materials generated as a result of construction, refurbishment or demolition

activities.

Sector – The source of the waste is further identified in the second part of the WCS by the

Sector of the economy within which the waste was generated. 13 Sectors have been used,

based on a similar concept to the Classification of Economic Activities within the European

Commission’s waste database and also within the Australian Waste Database (Sub-stream 1

Secondary Source). The Sectors used were selected to reflect the activities within the Goldfields

and to assist in clarifying the intent of the WCS. Examples of Sectors include ‘Domestic’, ‘Mining,

Exploration, quarrying, physical and chemical treatment of Minerals’ and ‘Metals processing

and thermal processes’. Each Sector was allocated a Code from 01 to 13.

Material Type – The third aspect of the coding system reflects composition of the waste. Each

of the waste material types are allocated a Material Type code within the range of 100-899

and grouped into eight series. As far as reasonably possible, the material types adopted were

developed in line with existing systems. For example, the 100 series of material types are all

the wastes classified through the DER’s recently updated Controlled Waste Category List. Users

of the WCS were encouraged to classify waste by single substance waste types as much as

possible (where the data was available), but use mixed types where these materials are

collected as a mixed stream. A key objective of the WCS was to accurately reflect waste

management practices and, therefore, the system was designed not to necessitate the

splitting of commingled waste streams.

The full Waste Classification System is contained within Appendix A.

2.2 Initial discussions with regional stakeholders

The project team held discussions and meetings with the following Government Departments and

agencies:

Department of Environment Regulation (DER);

Waste Authority;

Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP); and

Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission.

In addition, the team met with key regional industry bodies, namely Chamber of Minerals and Energy

of Western Australia and Kalgoorlie-Boulder Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

2.3 Development of Consultation Strategy

A Consultation Strategy was developed to set out a clear approach for how the project team would

communicate with key stakeholders.



Month YYYY



Month YYYY

June 2016|6



2.3.1 Identification of Stakeholders

The first task was to identify the key stakeholders within the Study Area. These included State

Government Departments, Industry Bodies and Local Governments along with waste generators such

as resource companies as well as Private Waste Service Providers. A database of all relevant contacts

was developed and maintained for the duration of the Study to track all communication with them.

2.3.2 Data Collection Sheets

Three distinct Data Collection Sheets were developed to reflect the different roles of stakeholders in

the waste management systems of the Study Area. Three groupings were identified - Local

Government, Private Waste Service Providers plus Industry and Resources companies. Each of the

Data Collection Sheets contained slight variations in the information requested. However, all three

Data Collection Sheets included the following common elements:

Respondent’s Details - This sheet requested basic contact information for the stakeholder,

details on the waste facilities and, for Local Government, details regarding current population

and predicted future population of the area of concern. Data on anticipated future growth

was also requested to assist in projecting future waste streams in the Study Area.

Waste Register – The Waste Register requested details on the source, quantity, collection

method, treatment and/or disposal method for each waste stream generated by the

stakeholder.

Waste Facility Outputs – This sheet recorded the source, quantity and treatment and/or

disposal method for each output (product and residue), where relevant, from waste

management facilities operated by the stakeholder.

Priorities – This section invited stakeholders to highlight the waste management priorities that

they consider to be important with a focus on peak and problematic waste and waste

infrastructure and market gaps and opportunities.

Although stakeholders were encouraged to utilise the Data Collection Sheets where possible, Talis also

accepted raw data from stakeholders. This data was then transcribed into the required data format

for the data analysis stage by the project team. Copies of each of the Data Collection Sheets can be

found in Appendix B.

2.4 Implementation of the Consultation Strategy

As part of the implementation of the Consultation Strategy, a number of key engagement activities

were identified to be undertaken to optimise the number of participants for the Study. These activities

are set out in Table 2-2 below.

As mentioned above, two stakeholder workshops were held in October 2015 in Kalgoorlie and Perth.

The workshops had a good participation rate with positive feedback on the Study and its objectives. It

was apparent that this approach was effective in gaining buy-in from the stakeholders who attended.

2.4.1 Data request communications

Following the workshops, Talis and GEMG circulated the Data Collection Sheets to all contacts inviting

them to provide their waste data for the 2014/15 financial year. Circulation was undertaken via email.

The documentation was also made available for download from the GEMG website. The Study was

promoted by Talis, GEMG and supporting bodies, including the Waste Authority, via social media.

Additionally, the project team made follow-up phone calls and sent follow-up emails to prompt the

return of data.

2.4.2 Follow up communications

Talis undertook follow-up telephone calls to key stakeholders to confirm their buy-in to the Study, which

was generally seen to be an effective approach to increasing participation. Some stakeholders chose

to provide general feedback to the Study over the telephone, which were captured in Data Collection

Sheets by the project team. There were also a small number of stakeholders that declined to

participate in the Study altogether due to lack of time, resource constraints or because they felt they

did not have any relevant data to contribute to the Study. This was particularly relevant to a number

of resource companies whose mines are currently under care and maintenance.

2.5 Data Analysis

2.5.1 Geographical Breakdown

Whilst it is acknowledged that the vast majority of waste exported from the Region is first sent to

Kalgoorlie, in order to guide the analysis and presentation of the data, six Sub-catchment Areas were

created to reflect the key waste generation locations within the Study Area. The development of the

Sub-catchment Areas were based on the following criteria:

Within the vicinity of Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie, a 150km radius buffer was applied.

For the other main town sites that were outside of the above Sub-catchment Area, namely

Esperance, Ravensthorpe, Leonora and Laverton and Wiluna, a 100km radius buffer was

applied.

Major projects or ‘clusters’ of mines that fell outside of these buffers were included in the closest

Sub-catchment Area if they were within 30km (i.e. a total of 130km as the crow flies from the

town site).

The Tropicana Gold Mine did not fall within any Sub-catchment Areas using the above criteria. Given

its remoteness and the potential for another major resource project to be developed in the area, it

was allocated its own Sub-catchment Area.

In addition to identifying the key areas of waste generation, the amalgamation of information into

these Sub-catchment Areas ensures anonymity of the waste data provided by participants of the

Study.

Any areas outside of the Sub-catchment Areas within the Study Area have been excluded from the

Study. This is because, for the purposes of the Study, these areas are considered to contribute

insignificant quantities of waste due to the absence of major population centres. This includes

locations such as remote Aboriginal communities and road houses.

2.5.2 Waste management facilities and treatment

Certain industrial premises with potential to cause emissions and discharges to air, land or water are

known as ‘prescribed premises’ and trigger regulation under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act

1986 (EP Act). In Western Australia, the DER is responsible for the regulation of prescribed premises

under the EP Act. Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987 lists the activities, and

their associated production or design thresholds, that are considered to directly or indirectly cause or

increase emissions. Table 2-3 sets out the waste management infrastructure that requires a licence

(or registration) to operate.

Due to the nature of waste management infrastructure in the Study Area, Talis differentiated the

treatment methods of waste materials between public landfills, which are generally managed by the

relevant Local Government, and on-site landfills, which are managed privately usually by mining

companies. Given the remoteness of many mine sites in the Study Area, on-site landfills are a common

feature for many mining operations and represent a convenient and cost-effective means of waste

disposal when transportation of waste materials off-site may not be considered viable.

Talis requested a data extract of all prescribed premises that are located within the Study Area from

the DER, which was received in December 2015. The ‘key waste management facilities’ located within

the Study Area are listed in the relevant Sub-catchment Area’s sections. No spatial information for these

facilities was available at the time of the drafting of this report. As such, the facilities’ locations, shown

on each of the Sub-catchment Area maps (Figures 2-7), should be considered indicative. Talis

endeavoured to include additional facilities, where notified by Study respondents. However, as a result

of the data limitations there may be some facilities located in the Study Area that have not been

captured.

2.5.3 Extrapolation of Data

It was not practicable to collect relevant data from every waste generator and waste service provider

within the Study Area. However, the data that was collected for the Study can be considered a

representative sample. This data was subsequently extrapolated to estimate the total waste quantities

within each Sub-catchment Area and the Study Area overall. Where possible, this was undertaken by

applying per capita, or similar, waste generation rates from the collected data to operational areas

and sites for which the data was not collected. Data obtained from the Department of Mines and

Petroleum (DMP) was used to determine the number of mine sites that were operational or under

development and to estimate workforce numbers on sites within each of the Sub-catchment Areas.

Any mine sites that provided data were removed from this list to avoid double counting.

The response rate from waste generators equated to 25% of those invited to participate. However, it

is understood that those generators that did respond represented most of the major resource

operations in the Study Area.



Month YYYY



Month YYYY

June 2016|10



24% of the data represented in this Study is extrapolated meaning that 76% of the waste data was

captured from the survey participants.

In addition, specific waste data gaps were identified and quantities estimated based on

corresponding collected data, informal communication with waste generators and Talis’ industry

experience in other regional areas across Western Australia. The table of per capita extrapolated data

for Sector 2 (Mining) is provided in Appendix C.

2.5.4 Assumptions

It was necessary to make a number of assumptions when inputting and analysing the data received.

Some of the key assumptions adopted for the Study are as follows:

In circumstances where a waste material was listed as being generated but no volume

quantified (e.g. due to a lack of recording system), this waste material was included using

extrapolated data, or if none existed, was omitted from the waste generation figures.

Septage waste (Controlled Waste category K210) and wastewater was excluded from the

scope of the Study.

Where required, conversion factors were applied to raw data to ensure all material

quantities were in tonnes. A list of conversion factors utilised are provided in Appendix D.

In circumstances where waste treatment data and/or locations were not provided in the

survey, this information was populated from information on similar materials by other

stakeholders and Talis’ understanding of the waste management systems in the Study

Area. There was limited data provided relating to the treatment and disposal of hazardous

waste materials. Consequently, care should be exercised in using the data relating to the

treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes.

Where waste generation was reported for a period of less than 12 months, the quantity

was factored up to 12 months unless stated by the stakeholders that this was a periodic

waste stream.

Where relevant, data from Local Governments was broken down into the various town sites

based on advice from the relevant Local Government.

Where data from different sources was conflicting, more accurate (weighbridge) data was

adopted, if available.

Waste from Aboriginal communities was not included in the Study as it is governed through

arrangements made with the Commonwealth government.

Waste rock from hard rock mine sites was excluded from the Study as it is stockpiled on

site for future use in rehabilitation works, or disposed of on-site as part of the mining

operations and is, therefore, not considered to be a waste material.

Where truck tyres (Code 192) were listed as a generated waste but the type of tyre not

specified, it was assumed 'light truck' tyres for calculation purposes.

Whilst there are numerous mine sites in the Study Area that have employee

camps/accommodation villages associated with their activities, the limited data received

from respondents was not considered robust enough to be included as a separate sector

(Sector 10). Some sites outsource the employee camp waste management to third party

contractors and, as such, data was not available to include in the Study. Any data known,

or believed, to originate from Sector 10 has been amalgamated with Sector 2 (Mining

activities).

Given the period of relatively low C&D activity in the region, there was very limited C&D

waste data provided for resource projects that are under development (as defined by

DMP). Consequently, C&D waste data (material types and per capita quantities) from the



Month YYYY



Month YYYY

June 2016|11



Pilbara and Broome Waste Study was used as a proxy and extrapolated based on each

Sub-catchment Area’s C&D workforce for 2014/15, as published by DMP.

Some Sub-catchment Area’s data is comprised of predominantly extrapolated data. In

these circumstances, waste quantities and projections should be considered indicative

only and used with caution.

Tyres may be noted as being stockpiled (i.e. diverted from landfill) but this material is

ultimately disposed of to landfill (often monofills).

There was limited data available to the Study on fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) vs resident population

workforce. As a result, for extrapolated data, workforce numbers have been used to

estimate waste generation. In reality, some of this workforce may be part of the resident

population and would be likely to generate less waste on site than a FIFO worker who is

based at an accommodation village.

Whilst almost all waste that is exported from the Study Area is sent to Perth, a proportion of

this waste is subsequently sent interstate and overseas for final treatment.

2.5.5 Projections

Population growth rates combined with per capita waste generation rates are utilised for the waste

projections. As with the Pilbara and Broome Waste Data Study, it is considered that population provides

the most reliable indicator for growth in waste generation across all three waste streams despite its

acknowledged limitations as an indicator for C&I and C&D wastes. Population growth also results in

increases in construction activity, producing C&D waste, and new operating facilities producing C&I

waste.

As a consequence, waste generation up to 2035 was projected using published population growth

scenarios along with current per capita waste generation rates for each of the three waste streams.

The Study adopted three growth scenarios (high, medium and low) for each Sub-catchment Area and

the Study Area overall in order to consider varying levels of future population growth and associated

waste generation. The primary sources of population data were the Australian Bureau of Statistics and

WA Planning Commission’s (WAPC) WA Tomorrow.

For areas with limited, or no, population data due to an absence of population centres, such as the

Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Area, predicted economic and construction activities and

their associated proposed timescales were utilised to project future C&I waste and C&D waste

quantities. These forecasts are based on available information at the time of writing.

The use of past trends to predict future population and economic activity can be unreliable due to

impacts of individual projects. Given its geographical isolation, relatively small and dispersed

population and typically large-scale resource development projects, population is considered to be

strongly influenced by growth in the resources sector. Within the Study Area, a significant proportion of

the population is involved directly, or indirectly, in the resources industry.

A summary of the sources for the low, medium and high population growth scenarios by Sub-

catchment Area are shown in Table 2-4.

Impact of Major Resource Projects

In the Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Area, the high growth scenario includes the

development of the proposed uranium mine, Mulga Rock located to the south-west of the existing

Tropicana gold mine. The area is cited as encompassing one of the largest undeveloped uranium

resources in Australia. At the time of writing, construction of the project was anticipated to commence

in 2017, subject to environmental approvals. If the project was to proceed, it would bring an estimated

1,200 additional people to the area as part of the construction workforce reducing to an estimated

315 people for the operational phase. By applying these additional estimated workforce figures to

waste projections for the Sub-catchment Area, there is evidence to suggest that there would be

significant increases in the amount of waste generated within this Sub-catchment Area.

3 Greater Wiluna Sub-catchment Area

3.1 Area Profile

The Greater Wiluna Sub-catchment Area (Figure 2) covers an approximate area of 27,576km2 and is

the most northerly of the Sub-catchment Areas in the Study. The primary population centre within this

Sub-catchment Area is Wiluna town site, which is located within Shire of Wiluna. Whilst the Shire of Wiluna

itself is not located within the Goldfields-Esperance administrative region (it is included within the Mid-

West Region), it has been included within the Study due to its strong links with the Goldfields Region.

This Sub-catchment Area has a similar economic profile and faces similar challenges to the rest of the

Study Area in relation to waste management.

Economic activities within the Greater Wiluna Sub-catchment Area are comprised predominately of

mining, pastoral and tourism industries. The Shire of Wiluna documented that the mining sector

accounted for over half of the entire workforce in 2011, with gold and nickel operations being the

principal resources mined currently.

The northern section of the Goldfields Highway runs through Wiluna town towards Meekatharra (about

180km west of Wiluna). This is the main route to access the area from the rest of the Goldfields Region

with the closest population centre, the mining town of Leinster, located 170km to the south.

The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Greater Wiluna Sub-catchment

Area is shown in Table 3-1.

As can be seen in Table 3-1, the waste management infrastructure in the Sub-catchment Area is

dominated by landfills, both public (run by the Shire) and private, which are referred to as on-site

landfills.

3.3 Key Findings

During 2014/15, there was an estimated 7,559 tonnes of waste generated, with the majority (95%)

originating from the C&I stream. This reflects the large resource industry presence in the Sub-

catchment Area, which was the primary contributing sector. The remainder of waste was from MSW

(4%) and a very small quantity (1%) generated from the C&D stream, also associated with the

resources industry.

The largest waste material generated was mixed refuse with an estimated 3,319 tonnes (44% of total

waste). This was followed by ferrous scrap metals and mixed scrap metals with 1,053 and 711 tonnes,

respectively.

All MSW waste (308 tonnes) was recorded as being disposed of to the public landfill near Wiluna. The

C&I stream had significantly greater recovery rates with an estimated 42% of waste being diverted

from landfill to be recycled, including scrap metals and packaging materials.

The majority (95%) of the waste that was recycled or treated was exported outside of the Sub-

catchment Area. This reflects the relatively small number of waste management facilities in the Sub-

catchment Area (one public and several on-site landfills).

In terms of population projections, the high growth scenario could lead to a 2035 population of 2,998

people. This could lead to an estimated 18,558 tonnes of waste being generated by 2035. However,

these growth projections only take into account resource projects that are currently operational or

under development1. There are numerous projects that are proposed to be developed within the Sub-

catchment Area. However, given a high degree of uncertainty around when these projects will

proceed, they have not been included in the Study’s population projections. As such, the future C&D

waste generation figures are considered to be conservative and significantly higher C&D waste figures

would be expected to eventuate when these major resource projects do proceed to the

development stage.

The Shire of Wiluna has previously acknowledged that Wiluna’s future growth will be driven by the

increase in the surrounding mining activity. As mentioned above, there are a number of large resource

projects proposed in the Sub-catchment Area, which are expected to significantly contribute to

growth. At the time of writing, the Wiluna Uranium project had received State and Federal approvals

and was set to start development, which would bring an estimated 350 jobs to the Sub-catchment

Area for its construction phase and 170 for its operational phase. The Yeelirrie Uranium project is also

located in the Sub-catchment Area and, if developed, is expected to have a 1,200 strong

construction workforce. These projects would bring significant economic benefits to the Sub-

catchment Area but also have the potential to place enormous pressure on existing waste

management infrastructure. As there are currently no operational uranium mines in Western Australia

the information on how site-specific waste would be managed is limited.

4 Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area

4.1 Area Profile

The Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area (Figure 3) covers an approximate area of 57,193km2

and predominantly encompasses the Shires of Leonora and Laverton as well as small sections of the

Shire of Menzies. The main population centres within this Sub-catchment Area are Leonora, Leinster

and Laverton. In 2014, the Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area had a population of 3,921. The

Sub-catchment Area’s boundary extends southwards as far as 175km north of Kalgoorlie and to

Leinster, located close to the Sub-catchment Area’s north-west boundary. The town of Leonora is

located in the approximate centre of the Sub-catchment Area, approximately 235km north of

Kalgoorlie on the Goldfields Highway. The town of Laverton is situated in the east of the Sub-catchment

Area, approximately 125km to the north-east of Laverton.

The Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission determined that mining accounts for around

half the jobs in the Sub-catchment Area (Shire of Leonora 49.5% and Shire of Laverton 55.5%) and

includes gold, nickel and rare earth mining. As testament to the significance of mining to the economy

of the area, the town of Leinster was established in 1976 as a company town (now owned by BHP

Billiton) to support mining activities in the area. According to DMP, there are 18 operating mines and

four mine sites under development, including expansion proposals, within this Sub-catchment Area.

The Goldfields Highway runs through the Sub-catchment Area with two main roads off the highway

leading to Leinster and Laverton. The Goldfields Highway is the primary road for accessing the area

from the rest of the Goldfields Region and Perth via the Great Northern Highway.

The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Northern Goldfields Sub-

catchment Area is shown in Table 4-1.

As can be seen above, the vast majority of the waste management infrastructure within the Sub-

catchment Area is privately operated. There are two public landfills in the Sub-catchment Area, one

in Leonora and one in Laverton. Both are registered (Category 89 putrescible) landfills limited to accept

up to 5,000 tonnes of waste per year.

4.3 Key Findings

An estimated 46,296 tonnes of waste was generated within the Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment

Area during 2014/15. Of this, the vast majority, 96%, originated from the C&I stream with 2% from the

C&D stream and 2% from the MSW stream. The largest waste material type was mixed refuse with

21,615 tonnes or 33% of the total waste generated in the Sub-catchment Area. Other significant waste

materials generated included ferrous metals (4,669 tonnes) and mixed metals (3,780 tonnes).

In total, 63% of total waste generated was disposed of to landfill with an estimated 97% of this being

sent to on-site landfills, with the remainder (3%) being transported to public landfills (local and exported

outside of the Sub-catchment Area) for disposal. Many of the mine sites in this Sub-catchment Area

have their own registered or licensed landfill. This makes landfill disposal a convenient and cost-

effective option for waste generators, many of whom are located significant distances from town sites

and other waste management facilities. A total of 34% of waste was recycled with all recyclable

materials originating from the C&I and C&D streams. The predominant waste management facilities

situated within the Sub-catchment Area are on-site landfills so all recycled materials need to be

exported out of the Sub-catchment Area for treatment. Based on available data, the landfill diversion

rate for this Sub-catchment Area is 37% of all waste generated in 2014/15. However, waste generation

and disposal is likely to be underreported. The registered landfills in Leonora and Laverton are

unmanned and waste volumes being disposed of at the landfill outside of kerbside collections by the

council have not captured as part of the Study. Additionally, the waste generation figures should be

considered rough estimates as the majority (90%) of this Sub-catchment Area’s waste volumes and

treatment methods were based on extrapolated data.

The Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area experienced a high level of growth for the period 2004-

2014, with an annual average growth rate of 4% (shown as the high growth rate). Under the high

growth scenario, the population of the Sub-catchment Area could grow to 8,935 people by 2035 with

an estimated total waste generation of 105,497 tonnes by 2035. Given the recent downturn in global

commodity prices and the Sub-catchment Area’s high reliance of the mining sector for employment,

at the time of writing the likelihood of sustained growth at these historical growth levels appears unlikely.

The more moderate medium growth rate of 1.19% would still increase the population of the Sub-

catchment Area to an estimated 5,027 people and an associated increase in waste generation to

an estimated 59,351 tonnes by 2035 or an additional 13,055 on 2014/15 waste levels.

5 Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area

5.1 Area Profile

The Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area (Figure 4) covers an approximate area of 83,450km2 and

is the largest and most populous Sub-catchment Area within the Study Area. The Central Goldfields

includes the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the Shires of Coolgardie, Menzies and Dundas. In 2014,

the Central Goldfields had a population of 39,108. The main population centres in this Sub-catchment

Area are Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Coolgardie, Kambalda, Norseman and Menzies.

Economic activities within the Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area include mining, education and

tourism activities. Mining is cited as being the predominant employment industry for City of Kalgoorlie-

Boulder (21%), Shire of Coolgardie (44.8%) and Shire of Dundas (32.6%) with education the largest

employer in Shire of Menzies with 19.8%. In line with most of the other Sub-catchment Areas in the

Study Area, the Central Goldfields’ economy is strongly influenced by the level of activity in the mining

sector which is dominated by gold and nickel mining.

There are several major road networks in the Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area. These are the

Goldfields Highway running north of Kalgoorlie linking to the Coolgardie-Esperance Highway, which

runs south to Esperance, the Great Eastern Highway which is the main road connection with Perth and

the Eyre Highway, which connects the Region to the eastern states. There is also rail infrastructure

running from Kalgoorlie to Perth, Esperance, Leonora and to the eastern states.

The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Central Goldfields Sub-

catchment Area is shown in Table 5-1.

5.2.1 Key Findings

There was an estimated 155,207 tonnes of waste generated in the Central Goldfields Sub-catchment

Area in 2014/15. This was split between the three waste streams with C&I the largest contributor at 54%,

followed by MSW (32%) and C&D (14%).

The largest contributing sector was Domestic with 51,384 tonnes or one third of the total waste

generated for 2014/15. The next largest sector was Other/Mixed with 26% and the Mining sector with

18%. Based on discussions with key stakeholders within the Sub-catchment Area, Talis determined the

Other/Mixed sector predominantly included waste arising from commercial and industrial activities

within the various townsites along with some mining sector waste collected within close proximity to

the various townsites.

By far the largest waste material generated during the 2014/15 period was mixed refuse with 65,889

tonnes originating from both the MSW (24,963 tonnes) and C&I (40,926 tonnes) streams. The mixed

refuse from the MSW stream is comprised primarily of community drop-off to one of the public landfills

(Yarri Road, Kalgoorlie). Other significant waste materials were waste treatment plant residue (18,226

tonnes), kerbside refuse (14,426 tonnes) and clean fill (13,890 tonnes).

85% of waste generated was disposed of to landfill within the Sub-catchment Area with the vast

majority of this, 78.7% (122,150 tonnes) sent to public landfill and the remainder (10,435 tonnes)

disposed of at on-site (privately managed) landfills. Approximately 11% (16,571 tonnes) of waste

materials are recycled within the Sub-catchment Area or exported from the Study Area for treatment.

Commonly recycled materials in this Sub-catchment Area include scrap metals (ferrous and mixed),

waste oils and paper and cardboard. There was 65% diversion rate of greenwaste from landfill in the

Sub-catchment Area, with 5,072 tonnes mulched.

In all, 15,691 tonnes of materials were exported from the Sub-catchment Area for treatment. This was

predominantly comprised of recyclable materials being sent to Perth for export to international

markets.

In terms of future population and waste projections, the high growth scenario (1% annual average

growth rate) would result in the Sub-catchment Area’s population reaching 52,151 by 2035. This could

result in an increase in waste generation to 206,971 tonnes per annum by 2035 (a 133% increase on

2014/15 levels). As mentioned earlier, the GEDC reported that the mining sector employs a significant

proportion of the workforce in the Sub-catchment Area. As such, future population growth in this Sub-

catchment Area will be strongly linked to activity in the mining sector and the associated fluctuations

in workforce migration to and from the Sub-catchment Area.

6 Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Area

6.1 Area Profile

The Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Area (Figure 5) covers an approximate area of 11,376km2

and is primarily located within the Shire of Menzies. This Sub-catchment Area is particularly isolated,

with the closest population centre accessible by road, Kalgoorlie, approximately 370km away. There

are currently no permanent population centres located within this Sub-catchment Area. The current

economic activity in the area can be entirely attributed to the Tropicana Gold Mine, which has been

operational since 2013 (Tropicana JV, 2016) and is populated by a transient Fly-in Fly-Out (FIFO)

workforce from Kalgoorlie and Perth.

The only road access to the site is via a purpose-built access road from Pinjin to Kalgoorlie, which at

220km in length, makes this site extremely remote.

The only waste management facilities currently located within this Sub-catchment Area are part of the

Tropicana Gold Mine. These are listed Table 6-1.

The Sub-catchment Area also includes the area associated with the proposed Mulga Rock Uranium

Project, which is considered to be one of largest undeveloped uranium resources in Australia. At the

time of writing, the project was expected to commence construction in 2017, pending environmental

approvals. Should the project proceed, it is expected to bring to the Sub-catchment Area a workforce

of up to 1,200 people during the construction phase and approximately 315 people for the

operational phase over its estimated 16 year life. As a result, there would be a significant increase in

the amount of waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area with the addition of this project.

6.3 Key Findings

6,112 tonnes of waste was estimated to be generated within the Sub-catchment Area during 2015,

with all of this attributed to the C&I stream. There was no MSW waste recorded as there are no

population centres, located within the Sub-catchment Area.

The largest waste material generated, by quantity, was mixed refuse with 2,076 tonnes. The next most

substantial waste materials generated were an estimated 1,425 tonnes of contaminated soil and 720

tonnes of concrete.

Just under half (49%) of the waste generated within the Sub-catchment Area was diverted from landfill.

However, this landfill diversion rate is likely to be overestimated due to the omission of several waste

materials that were generated but not included in the total due to a lack of quantified data2. There is

limited waste management infrastructure present in the Sub-catchment Area other than an on-site

landfill (Class II putrescible landfill), used tyre storage area and a bioremediation pad for

contaminated soil. As such, most of the recycled materials are treated outside of the Sub-catchment

Area in Kalgoorlie or Perth. A total of 1,563 tonnes of material was exported for recycling or treatment

including waste oils, scrap metals and mixed paper and cardboard. In relation to waste treated within

the Sub-catchment Area, two thirds (3,124 tonnes) was disposed of at the on-site landfill with the

remainder (1,425 tonnes) being treated using the on-site bioremediation pad.

Due to the remoteness of the Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Area and limited waste

generators, Talis has included the development of Mulga Rock within the waste projections. Based on

similar construction projects, Talis has adopted a conservative waste generation projection for the

construction phase of the project, which is forecast for 2017.

Under the high growth scenario, with construction and operation of the Mulga Rock uranium project

and on the assumption that Tropicana continues to operate at comparable levels to those recorded

as part of the Study, total waste generation within the Sub-catchment Area could peak at 16,112

tonnes in 2017 before reducing to 9,843 tonnes up to 2035. As mentioned above, the waste

generation projections include broad estimates of construction and demolition (C&D) waste that

would be associated with construction of Mulga Rock uranium project, should the project commence

construction in 2017 for an estimated period of 12 months.

Limited data is available on the future economic activities and population of the Sub-catchment Area

given there are no current or planned permanent population centres in the Sub-catchment Area. As

such, the actual population and associated future waste generation quantities could fall to zero if the

current mine site closes. Given the uncertainty of future economic activity in this Sub-catchment Area

and the cyclical nature of the resource sector, these projections should be considered indicative only.

2 These include, for example, mixed organics, food waste and mixed refuse.

7 Esperance Sub-catchment Area

7.1 Area Profile

The Esperance Sub-catchment Area (Figure 6) covers an approximate area of 16,110km2. In 2014,

according to the ABS, the Shire of Esperance had a population of 14,487, with most of the population

residing in the town of Esperance.

There are a diverse range of economic activities within the Esperance Sub-catchment Area including

agriculture, fisheries and tourism. Agriculture is the largest industry employing 15.8% of the workforce.

The Sub-catchment Area includes Esperance Port, which is the only operational port in the Study Area,

from which resources mined and food grown in the region, and beyond, are exported. The Port has

been earmarked for expansion to increase its export capacity of resources, particularly iron ore.

The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Esperance Sub-catchment Area

is shown in Table 7-1.

7.3 Key Findings

In 2014/15, 38,248 tonnes of waste was generated within the Esperance Sub-catchment Area. A little

over half (52%) of the waste generated originated from the C&I stream. The MSW stream contributed

41% of total waste generated in the Sub-catchment Area with C&D waste making up the remaining

7%.

The sector that generated the most waste in this Sub-catchment Area was the Other/Mixed sector with

54% of total waste generated reflecting the commercial and hospitality industries within the Esperance

town site. This includes waste from Esperance Port. The other main contributing sectors were Domestic

(41%) and Agriculture (5%).

The largest quantity of waste material generated was mixed refuse with 13,892 tonnes, making up

36% of the total waste generated in the Sub-catchment Area. This was followed by kerbside refuse

(11,178 tonnes) and clean fill from commercial generators (5,917 tonnes).

A total of 32,656 tonnes (85%) of waste was disposed of to the public landfill in Esperance. From this,

the landfill diversion rate was estimated to be 12.5% for waste treated in the Sub-catchment Area.

There was 4,641 tonnes diverted from landfill within the Sub-catchment Area through greenwaste

processing (2,504 tonnes), recycling (1,027 tonnes) or stockpiling (1,110 tonnes). A further 951 tonnes

of waste was exported from the Sub-catchment Area for treatment. Of this, 831 tonnes (87%) was sent

for recycling to Kalgoorlie-Boulder (480 tonnes), elsewhere in Western Australia (451 tonnes) and

interstate (20 tonnes). The inclusion of exported waste materials increases the total landfill diversion

rate for the Sub-catchment Area to 14%.

The Esperance Growth Plan, a joint publication by Shire of Esperance, Goldfields-Esperance

Development Commission and Esperance Chamber of Commerce and Industry, was published in

2012. It includes different growth scenarios for the Shire and cites an aspirational population for 2036

of 25,000 people. Using the aspirational growth rate from the Esperance Growth Plan of 3%, as the

‘high’ population growth scenario applied to 2014 population figures, the Sub-catchment Area’s

population could increase to 26,950 by 2035. This could lead to a resultant increase in total waste

generation of 71,153 tonnes per annum, almost double (186% increase) on 2014/15 waste generation

levels.

8 Ravensthorpe Sub-catchment Area

8.1 Area Profile

The Ravensthorpe Sub-catchment Area (Figure 7) covers an approximate area of 9,839km2, which

represents the entire Shire of Ravensthorpe. The Ravensthorpe Sub-catchment Area is a coastal area

situated in the south-west of the Study Area and bordered by the Esperance Sub-catchment Area to

the east. The main population centre within this Sub-catchment Area is Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun.

The population of the Sub-catchment Area in 2014 was recorded as 2,310 (ABS).

The key economic activities within this Sub-catchment Area are mining, agriculture (both grain and

livestock exports) and tourism. The mining industry is the largest employer representing 28% of jobs in

the Ravensthorpe area (GEDC, 2015). Mining in this area is primarily focused on nickel although, given

the cyclical nature of the mining industry, the proportion of people employed by the sector is likely to

fluctuate.

The South Coast Highway runs through Ravensthorpe Sub-catchment with two main roads off the

highway leading to Hopetoun and Perth.

The key waste management infrastructure currently located within the Ravensthorpe Sub-catchment

Area is shown in Table 8-1.

8.3 Key Findings

In 2014/15, 3,524 tonnes of waste was generated within the Ravensthorpe Sub-catchment Area. This

waste was comprised of 66% C&I stream waste and 34% MSW stream waste. The largest waste

generation sector was mining representing 53% of the total waste generated.

The largest materials type generated was mixed refuse with 1,203 tonnes from local businesses, mining

and households. Other notable material types generated were scrap (ferrous) metals with 299 tonnes

and kerbside refuse (624 tonnes).

34% of all waste generated was diverted from landfill for recycling or treatment. Of this, the vast

majority was exported outside of the Sub-catchment Area. Waste materials that were transported for

recycling include waste oil and scrap metal.

For waste that was treated within the Sub-catchment Area, 95% (2,306 tonnes) of waste disposed of

to a publicly managed landfill, with 2% (50 tonnes of greenwaste) recovered for mulching and 3% (69

tonnes of contaminated soil) undergoing treatment by bioremediation.

If the population continues to grow at the current rate of growth (an annual average growth rate of

3.95% from 2004-2014), the population is projected to reach 5,211 by 2035. This increase in

population could lead to an associated increase in total waste generation of 7,949 tonnes by 2035.

Conversely, under the low growth rate scenario, the Sub-catchment Area’s population could decline

from 2014 figures to 1,976 by 2035, representing a 14% decrease and an associated projected

reduction in waste generation to 3,015 tonnes.

As the waste projections have been based on current per capita waste generation and there were no

major resource or development projects under construction during the 2014/15 period, C&D waste

projections are likely to be significantly under estimated. A polymetallic exploration project, Great

Southern, is located within the Sub-catchment Area approximately 18km south-east of Ravensthorpe

(Kundip Polymetallic Project). Should exploration of this area be successful, the development of mining

operations in the area would likely result in a significant increase of C&D waste generated from the

mine’s construction.

10 Waste Data Findings

This section sets out the key waste data findings from the data analysis of the Study for both individual

Sub-catchment Areas and the whole Study Area.

10.1 Waste Generation Total waste generation within the Study Area for 2014/15 was 256,945 tonnes.

The largest quantity of waste was generated in the Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area

with 155,207 tonnes. Followed by the Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area with 46,296

tonnes and Esperance Sub-catchment Area with 38,248 tonnes.

Across the Study Area, 27% of total waste was generated from the MSW stream, 63% from the

C&I stream and 10% from the C&D stream.

A breakdown of waste generation by stream across the Study Area is shown in Figure 10-1.

The distribution of waste streams varies significantly between Sub-catchment Areas. The

Greater Wiluna, Northern Goldfields and Remote East Goldfields (REG) Sub-catchment Area’s

waste generation was dominated by C&I with less than 2% of waste originating from the MSW

stream reflective of these Sub-catchment Areas’ low population density.

Less than 10% of waste across the Study Area was generated in the C&D stream. This reflects

the relatively low level of major resource project developments in the Area during the 2014/15

period.

Figure 10-1: Waste Generation Breakdown by Stream

The sector generating the most waste across the Study Area in 2014/15 was the Mining sector

with 35% of total waste generation (89,819 tonnes). The next largest sector was Domestic,

generating just over a quarter (27%) of the total waste with 69,409 tonnes, followed by

Other/Mixed sector with 61,559 tonnes (24%).

10.2 Waste Treatment

The Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area exported the largest quantity of waste materials

with 15,944 tonnes, representing 34% of total waste generated.

The Study Area achieved an overall diversion from landfill rate of 20.4%. This compares with a

diversion from landfill rate of 39% for the whole of WA in 2013-14 (Recycling Activity in Western

Australia 2013-14).

The Study Area’s landfill diversion rate was also significantly lower than that of other regional

centres such as the Pilbara region, which achieved a 43% diversion rate in 2011/12.

The Waste Authority also looks at kilograms (kg) of waste diverted per person vs kilograms of

waste landfilled by person. Compared with the State average for the years 2010-11 to 2013-

14, the Study Area performed better for diversion of waste from landfill with 850kg compared

with the State average of 979.5kg but the Study Area is found to be significantly higher (50%

greater) for waste landfilled per person with 3,324kg compared with the State average of

1,654kg.

The C&I sector had the greatest proportion of waste materials recycled with 26% of all waste

generated, compared with the C&D sector (6%) and the MSW sector (12%).

15.4% of total waste generated was recycled. The C&I sector had the greatest proportion of

waste recycled with 22% of all waste generated, compared with the C&D sector (6%) and the

MSW sector (3.4%).

There was an estimated 36,499 tonnes of waste exported from the Study Area for treatment.

However, the actual quantities of waste exported is likely to be significantly higher as waste

that was recorded as being recycled the Study Area (e.g. in Kalgoorlie-Boulder) would be

subsequently sent outside of the Study Area for export to international markets.

The most prevalent waste materials that were exported for treatment were mixed scrap metals

(9,677 tonnes), ferrous metals (non-packaging) (8,601 tonnes) and waste oil (4,085 tonnes).

These materials were predominantly sent to Perth and surrounds for treatment or onwards

exporting to international markets.

The remainder of waste materials diverted from landfill (5% or 12,750 tonnes) were treated by

greenwaste processing, stockpiling, or by undergoing hazardous or thermal treatment.

The Sub-catchment Area with the greatest diversion from landfill rate from the Study data was

the Remote East Goldfields with 49%. However, this landfill diversion rate is likely to be

overestimated due to the omission of several waste materials that were generated but not

included in the total due to a lack of quantified data.

The Sub-catchment Areas with the lowest diversion from landfill rates were Central Goldfields

and Esperance with 15% and 14% respectively. However, this may reflect the fact that these

Sub-catchment Areas have more comprehensive waste generation recording systems that

other Sub-catchment Areas.

Figure 10-2 sets out the waste treatment methods breakdown by Sub-catchment Area. This

illustrates the variation between Sub-catchment Areas. The Sub-catchment Areas that utilised

on-site landfills for waste disposal more so than public landfills were Remote East Goldfields

with 100% of waste landfilled sent to on-site landfill and Greater Wiluna with 92% of landfilled

waste going to on-site landfills. This is likely to be due to the remoteness of these Sub-





Month YYYY

catchment Areas in relation to public landfills, making on-site landfill disposal a more

convenient and cost-effective option.

The southern Sub-catchment Areas of Esperance and Ravensthorpe rely predominantly on

public landfill for waste disposal with 86% and 66% respectively. The Greater Wiluna, Northern

Goldfields and Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Areas have little to no reliance on

public landfills with private on-site landfills being the predominant waste treatment method.

Overall, the Study Area still relies on landfills, both public and on-site, for waste treatment with

80% of waste disposed of to landfill.

Figure 10-2: Waste Treatment Method Breakdown by Sub-catchment Area

10.3 Waste Projections Waste generation up to 2035 was estimated, based on future population projections. Each

Sub-catchment Area, and the Study Area as a whole, was allocated three growth rates and

a resulting scenario – low, medium and high.

Population and waste projection growth rates for the Study are predominantly linear although

the Study Area’s population is likely to deviate from uniform growth over the next 20 years due

to the cyclical nature of the economy.

The growth scenarios show that by 2035, the Study Area’s population could increase to 78,924

under the high growth scenario or, potentially, grow to 71,275 people under the low growth

scenario.

Total waste generation could reach 329,404 tonnes per year by 2035, representing a 28%

increase on 2014/15 waste generation levels under the high growth scenario or could grow

by a more moderate 16% under the low growth scenario equating to 297,481 tonnes by 2035.

11 Key Waste Management Priorities

In addition to requesting waste data, stakeholders were also invited to provide their views on what they

believed to be the key waste management priorities in the Study Area. As part of this process,

respondents were asked to provide their views on:

Peak waste streams - waste streams that are considered to be peak to their organisation,

based on annual quantities generated;

Problematic waste;



A key objective of this process was to document and publish the key challenges across the waste

sector, from generators through to public and private service providers so that these can be given

due consideration in future planning and the decision making processes from waste policy through to

infrastructure and services.

The following sections will summarise the comments provided by respondents as well as proposed

solutions for further detailed consideration.

11.1 Peak waste streams

Peak waste streams, for the purposes of the Study, are those materials that are the highest quantities

of waste generated each year identified through this Study. These are recognised as key priorities for

two key reasons, both of which are at opposite sides of the spectrum.

The larger waste streams generated generally require a significant amount of planning and

management due to their associated volumes. However, this also leads to opportunities as the larger

waste streams can make more advanced and sustainable treatment options viable due to

economics of scale.

Respondents listed a variety of peak waste streams within their submissions that aligned with the

findings of the data obtained as part of this Study. The top 15 waste materials arising across the Study

Area are listed below in Table 11-1.

Month YYYY

As can be seen within Table 11-1, the top 15 material types equates to 235,816 tonnes which is 92%

of all waste generated within the Study Area. A point of interest from the analysis is the volume of refuse

(mixed refuse or kerbside refuse) across the Study Area which is 135,412 tonnes per annum. These

consolidated volumes may present opportunities to the waste sector, which is evolving at a significant

pace in Western Australia, to develop more advanced treatment options in the region, potentially

waste to energy. This evolution may be advanced further in the future by legislative and policy reforms

particularly in regional areas.

11.2 Problematic waste

Problematic waste refers to those waste materials that present issues to waste generators and/or

managers due to a number of reasons including, but not limited to:

Nature and characteristics of the materials including hazardous and/or flammable properties;

Handling and transportation issues;

Volume of materials generated to make treatment options financially viable;

The limited range of technically and financially viable treatment options;

Lack of available markets within the region; and

Issues associated within landfilling these materials.

Furthermore, some materials are also referred to as problematic as waste generators recognise that

there are greater outcomes possible for the treatment of these materials, which are ranked higher up

the Waste Hierarchy (such as recycling) than what is being achieved (such as landfilling). Therefore,

some materials are recognised as problematic as they represent an opportunity lost.

Unsurprisingly, the respondents that provided commentary on the Problematic Waste can be

categorised as either Local Government or Waste Generators, particularly mining companies. There

were very similar and recurring views on the types of Problematic Wastes by the respondents within

each group, which are associated with their relevant activities. Therefore, Talis has grouped the

Problematic Waste responses into each category being Local Government Authorities and Waste

Generators.

It should be noted that numerous Local Governments cited septage waste as problematic although,

as the scope of the Study did not include septage waste, this is not discussed further.

Following a review of the Problematic Waste identified by Local Government respondents and based

upon our work and experience with other regions, Talis proposes a variety of solutions to the Local

Government’s Problematic Waste, which require further detailed consideration. These are detailed in

Table 11-3.

.





Month YYYY

Table 11-3: Problematic Waste and proposed solutions identified by Local Government Authority

respondents

Problematic waste

Proposed solution

Tyres

Maximise the reuse and recycling options of the material including local

structural and civil engineering opportunities.

Consider a regional contract for the collection and/or processing of used

tyres to determine options available within the current market.

Develop isolated landfill cells solely for the acceptance of tyres (these are

referred to as monofills). Once covered, the tyres will not degrade and

therefore, at a later stage the tyres can be recovered when recycling

options become more viable. Therefore, tyre monofills should be recorded

with GPS coordinates and volumes disposed of.

Light gauge

steel

Consider a regional contract for the collection and/or processing of light

gauge steel to determine options available within the current market.

Develop large stockpile areas for the short-term storage of these materials

to allow for sufficient volumes to be generated to make collections viable

including at a regional level.

Household

hazardous

waste

Engage with WALGA on the potential for the Household Hazardous Waste

Collection Program to cover the Study Area.

Where possible, recover the costs for the treatment of the materials from

the generators or utilise other waste revenue to offset the costs.

Consider a regional contract for collection and processing of materials.

Glass

Consider local recycling options for the material to generate recycled

building products including sand and aggregates, which have a variety of

civil engineering purposes.

Consider a regional contract for the processing of materials to generate

the recycled building products through mobile plant.

Litter/ illegal

dumping (non-

specific waste

materials)

Consider development and implementation of community education

program with a focus on raising awareness of waste services available

and impacts of illegal dumping.

Enforcement of legislation including prosecution of offenders.

Examine service offerings for peak illegally dumped waste materials.

Work collaboratively across the region to tackle illegal dumping, which

may resolve some of the issues, including resourcing.

Mattresses

Consider a regional contract for the collection and/or processing of these

materials to determine options available within the current market.

Establish a suitable storage area(s) in the region to generate sufficient

volumes to make collections and/or processing viable.

Polystyrene

Mixed plastic

Steel

Many of the resource recovery options require minimum and consistent volumes of material to be

generated to ensure that the process is cost effective. Although distances between population centres

in some parts of the Study Area is significant, there would still be potential for regionalisation to obtain

greater volumes of materials in order to make these more attractive to markets. This could be





Month YYYY

achieved by contractors providing mobile plant that can process materials at the various waste

management facilities across the region. It is recommended that the Local Governments further

pursue the option of a Regional Contract(s) for the processing or collection of waste materials such as

greenwaste, C&D, glass, recyclables, tyres, etc. Through this regional approach, options that are

currently not viable at a local level can become so through the amalgamation of tonnages and

servicing requirements.

access to the site is limited to a

few times per year.

There is a new intractable waste

site proposed near Mount Walton

by a private company.

Following a review of the Problematic Wastes identified by Waste Generator respondents, Talis

proposes a variety of solutions, which require further detailed analysis. These include:

Consideration of a regional or sub-regional approach to address problematic waste through

joint tendering and contracts for waste services for collection and treatment as larger waste

streams can make more advanced or sustainable treatment options viable due to economies

of scale.

Consider the concept of a joint regional facility for the stockpiling and, in some cases

processing of waste streams including tyres, polypipe, rubber, hydrocarbon contaminated

soils, wood pallets, hazardous materials including IBCs and C&D waste materials. One of the





Month YYYY

benefits of a joint regional facility would be the amalgamation of waste tonnages from

multiple generators, making problematic waste more financially viable to process and more

attractive to markets to process. As part of these works, consideration should be given to the

preferred ownership model for such a facility or if the mining companies should work

collaboratively to encourage Local Government Authorities or Private Waste Service Providers

to deliver such a facility by committing tonnage.

Continue to share information with the waste sector in relation to volumes and issues around

the treatment of Problematic Waste.

Seek State or Federal Government rebates, subsidies, incentives or funding that are available.

Knowledge sharing across the region. Understanding how others are managing their waste,

are there opportunities to improve and, if appropriate, collaborate on waste removal and

recycling options.

11.3 Waste infrastructure and market gaps

As evident from the submissions of the respondents, a variety of infrastructure and market gaps have

been identified across the Study Area, many of which are common in other regional areas of Western

Australia due to the relatively low volumes of waste generated within isolated areas. As evident from

the works undertaken as part of this Study and the associated findings, these issues have presented

significant challenges to waste generators, Local Governments and Private Waste Services

Providers. As outlined previously, Talis recommends the Waste Generators and Local Government

should be considering a variety of regional approaches to gather and commit tonnes to the markets

for the Private Waste Services Providers or Local Government to devise more advanced solutions. This

approach could resolve a variety of the infrastructure and market issues identified within the Study. This

aligns with the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission’s recognition of the opportunities to

provide more comprehensive waste services to the mining and processing sectors. This could be

achieved by having facilities across the region which assist with diversifying the economy of the region

and generating employment opportunities.

12 Discussion

Arising from the works and consultation undertaken as part of the Study and the associated findings,

a number of key discussions points have been identified. These are categorised as follows:

Current waste management system;

Waste generation and projections;

Comparison to State Waste Strategy Targets; and

Key waste priorities.

12.1 Current waste management system

As qualified within the Study, there is a high reliance on landfill across the Study Area for the treatment

of waste generated reaching 79.6% in 2014/15. There are a number of reasons to this including both

regional and local factors. Currently, there is no landfill levy within regional Western Australia, which

financially penalises the use of landfills to drive the diversion of material to more sustainable outcomes.

However, for the vast majority of Sub-catchment Areas, there are low volumes of waste generated

within isolated areas. This presents a number of challenges in trying to achieve more sustainable

outcomes as advanced resource recovery systems are currently not technically and financially viable.

There is significant variation in the utilisation of public and on-site landfills across the Study Area.

According to DER data received, the Study Area has a total of 50 landfills including 12 publicly

operated with the remainder (38) being on-site facilities privately run by mine site operators. The vast

majority of these landfills consist of unlined facilities. The environmental performance of these waste

management systems in the Study Area could be improved if these landfills were consolidated into a

few modern facilities, developed under best practice principles. Table 12-1 sets out the number of

public and on-site landfills by Sub-catchment Area.

Month YYYY

As can be seen, some Sub-catchment Areas have very few or no public landfills, such as Greater

Wiluna (one public landfill near Wiluna town site) and Remote East Goldfields (no public landfill).

The southern Sub-catchment Areas of Esperance and Ravensthorpe rely predominantly on public

landfill for waste disposal with 86% and 66% of waste disposed of to landfills, respectively. Others have

little to no reliance on public landfills with private on-site landfills being the predominant waste

treatment method. The Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area utilised on-site landfills for waste

disposal for almost two thirds of waste generated, compared with just 2% going to public landfill. In

the Remote East Goldfields, with an absence of public landfills in the Sub-catchment Area, just over

half (51%) of waste generated was disposed of to the on-site landfill.

The largest of the Local Government owned landfills is the Yarri Road facility on the outskirts of

Kalgoorlie-Boulder site which is clay-lined and accepts up to 150,000 tonnes of waste per annum

including mixed municipal solid, C&I and C&D waste.

The State Government regulation of Prescribed Premises is becoming more stringent facilitated

through the recent reform programs. A key aspect of this is a more consistent approach to specifying

standards. The DER has adopted a more holistic approach to the adoption of the Victorian

Environmental Protection Authority’s Best Practice Environmental Management (BPEM) for Siting,

Design, Operation and Rehabilitation of Landfills Guidance (Best Practice Landfill Guidelines) across

the State, particularly in major Regional Centres. The DER’s view is that these best practice standards

should apply to both old and new landfills, which is having significant ramifications for the owners and

operators of these facilities. This holistic approach to compliance with the Best Practice Landfill

Guidelines has resulted in many of the Local Governments in rural areas commencing costly exercises

to achieve compliance to ensure that long term disposal services can be provided to their

communities.

Currently, there are no landfills within the Study Area that full comply with the design requirements of

the Best Practice Landfill Guidelines however it is anticipated that this will be enforced within the

coming years in some areas. This will significantly increase the waste management costs within these

areas. However, this cost increase presents the opportunity for more sustainable waste practices such

as resource recovery, which can be either attractive or cost neutral to best practice landfilling costs.

Recycling

A total of 14%, or 36,499 tonnes, of waste generated is exported out of the Study Area for treatment.

Most of this waste is exported to Perth with a small proportion also being transported interstate for

treatment. This figure is likely to be underestimated as it does not account for waste volumes that was

reported to have been exported from one Sub-catchment Area to another (e.g. Kalgoorlie-Boulder)

for treatment, which in most cases, are subsequently exported to Perth and ultimately sent to

international markets.

There is a potential opportunity to better utilise Esperance Port for the export of these recyclable

materials rather than transportation to Perth, which may make recycling of the materials more

financially rewarding viable and rewarding.





Month YYYY

Uranium mining waste

The potential development of numerous uranium mining operations in the Study Area presents both

challenges and opportunities. The waste generated from uranium mine operations will include

radioactive waste materials, which will need to be carefully managed. Whilst a number of the

proposed uranium developments have indicated that the uranium ore itself will be transported to

South Australia for export, there may be opportunities for the region to use the introduction of this new

resource industry as a means for advancing waste management systems and infrastructure for the

betterment of the region as a whole.

12.2 Waste Generation and Projections

12.2.1 Waste Generation

A breakdown of the per capita waste generation across the Study Area by Sub-catchment Area is set

out in Table 12-2. Total per capita waste generation within the Study Area was 4.17, which is

significantly higher when compared with the State average per capita of 2.6 tonnes (Waste Strategy,

2012). However, significant variation was recorded across the Study Area. The Ravensthorpe Sub-

catchment Area recorded 1.53 tonnes per capita (41% lower than the State average).

The Remote East Goldfields Sub-catchment Area and the Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area

had the highest per capita waste generation figures with 11.85 tonnes and 11.81 tonnes per capita,

which is over four times higher than the State average. One contributing factor that will have influenced

these per capita figures in Remote East Goldfields and Northern Goldfields is the low population and

in relation to the industrial activities due to the high incidence of a fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) workforce.

12.2.2 Waste Projections

Due to the uncertainty associated with predicting the number and magnitude of future resource

projects, difficulty arises in projecting growth in future waste generation across the majority of the Study

Area, which is heavily reliant on the resources sector. As described previously, population projections

were considered to be the most appropriate method of projecting waste generation for all of the

waste streams, due to the correlation between population and economic activities in the Study Area.

However, population forecasts for the Sub-catchment Area and Study Area vary considerably between

high and low growth scenarios leading to a range of waste generation projections. Under a high growth





Month YYYY

scenario, waste generation over the whole Study Area may increase to over 340,000 tonnes per

annum by 2035. Under the low growth scenario, it may increase to around 307,000 tonnes per annum

by 2035.

Should the high growth scenario for the Study Area come to fruition, this could present a number of

challenges to waste generators, Local Governments and the Private Waste Service Providers. This

growth could firstly put further pressure on the existing waste management systems within the

region. This is particularly relevant to the waste management facilities that currently service the key

regional centres of the Study Area, including Kalgoorlie and Esperance. In the more remote areas of

the Study Area, an increase in the waste volumes could also present regulatory issues for the facilities

through a Prescribed Premises reclassification from the DER. A number of these facilities are currently

Category 89 Rural Landfills however, tonnage increases could result in the facilities exceeding the

thresholds for the Category 64 Landfill throughputs. As a result these facilities may require more

stringent engineering and operating standards to achieve compliance which would increase the cost

of the services.

However, the forecasted increase in waste across the Study Area also present opportunities which

should could assist in resolving some of the current issues or key priorities. These increased tonnages

can generate sufficient volumes to make the recycling, recovery or treatment of these priority waste

streams more financial viable due to economies of scale. Similarly, this may also assist in reducing

the Study Areas current heavily reliance on landfill.

12.3 Waste Strategy Targets

As outlined previously, the overall landfill diversion rate for the Study Area across all three waste streams

was 20.4%. The Waste Strategy contains landfill diversion targets for each of the three waste streams.

The MSW landfill diversion targets only relates to regional centres as determined within the State Waste

Strategy which includes Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The C&I and C&D streams have State-wide landfill diversion

targets. Table 12-3 sets out the current landfill diversion rates in the Study Area compared with the

Waste Strategy targets for 2015 and 2020 and State-wide landfill diversion rates for 2013/14.

Month YYYY

As can be seen from Table 12-3, Kalgoorlie-Boulder (part of Central Goldfields Sub-catchment Area)

would require significant improvements in the landfill diversion rates in order to achieve the 2020 target

for MSW of 50% from 14% in 2014/15. The overall Study Area MSW landfill diversion rate is 12% (against

a 2015 target of 30%). This is also significantly below the 2013/14 reported State-wide landfill diversion

rates of 26%. Whilst the Waste Strategy landfill diversion targets for MSW are only applicable to Regional

Centres currently, these landfill diversion targets could be applied State-wide in the future. This can be

compared with the Pilbara region, which achieved a 16% landfill diversion rate (33% higher than the

Study Area) for MSW in 2011/12.

The Study Area’s C&I stream was the best performing stream reaching a 26% landfill diversion rate

against a 2015 target of 55%. Several of the Sub-catchment Areas performed better than the State

2013/14 diversion rate of 45% including Ravensthorpe (48%), Remote East Goldfields (49%) but were

still below the 2015 Strategy target of 55%. On comparison with other regional areas, the Pilbara region

achieved significantly higher overall landfill diversion rates for C&I (39%) in 2011/12.

The C&D stream also saw positive landfill diversion rates in the Study Area with Greater Wiluna Sub-

catchment Area, Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area and Esperance Sub-catchment Area all

meeting or exceeding the State’s 2013/14 diversion rate of 38%. The Study Area’s overall C&D landfill

diversion rate was 6% although two Sub-catchment Areas did not report any C&D activity during the

2014/15 period due to a reduction in activity in the mining sector. The Central Goldfields Sub-

catchment Area achieved 0% landfill diversion for C&D waste with all of this waste stream generated

in the Sub-catchment Area being disposed of to public or on-site landfills.

12.4 Waste Priorities

As part of the Study, respondents were asked to provide their views on what they believed to be the

key waste management priorities in the Study Area, namely:

Peak waste streams - waste streams that are considered to be peak to their organisation,

based on annual quantities generated;

Problematic waste;



A key objective of this process was to capture and publish the key challenges across the waste sector,

from generators through to public and private waste service providers so that these could be given

due consideration in future planning and the decision making processes from waste policy through to

infrastructure and services.

Peak waste streams are those materials that are the highest quantities of waste generated each year

identified through this Study. The top 15 material types equates to 235,816 tonnes, which is 92% of all

waste generated within the Study Area in 2014/15. The largest peak waste stream was mixed refuse

with 107,994 tonnes.





Month YYYY

Problematic waste refers to those waste materials that present issues to waste generators and/or

managers due to a number of factors including the nature and characteristics of the materials,

handling and transportation issues and lack of available markets.

Problematic wastes were identified by both Local Government Authorities and Waste Generator

respondents. Some of the problematic wastes that Local Government Authorities highlighted included

tyres, household hazardous waste and packaging materials. Waste Generators highlighted a number

of similar problematic wastes like tyres and packaging materials, along with industry-specific wastes

such as contaminated soils.

Lastly, respondents were asked to provide their views on waste infrastructure and market gaps in the

Study Area as well as their proposed solutions. A key message communicated from numerous

respondents was that there are limited waste management services in the region to treat problematic

waste in a cost effective manner.

Talis undertook a review of the key waste management priorities identified by respondents and

proposes a variety of solutions including:

Amalgamation and commitment of waste tonnages;

Regional or joint tendering of waste management services; and

Further reporting of waste tonnages and priorities to the waste sector.

The amalgamation, or consolidation, and commitment of waste tonnages refers to waste generators,

as well as local governments, collaboratively working together to earmark their waste in a consolidated

manner in order to offer it to market. The thinking behind such a solution is that greater waste tonnages

will be more attractive to markets than individual small-scale contracts.





Month YYYY

13 Recommendations

Talis recognises that this Study as a very important first step in the regional collaboration on waste

management initiatives within the Region through all sectors of the waste industry working together to

collect and publish data on waste generation, materials flows and treatment activities. This data will

greatly assist all key decision makers across the waste sector, from generators, Local Governments

and Private Waste Service Providers to make informed decisions on future waste planning exercises as

well as, services and infrastructure investments.

Leveraging from this significant Study and its associated findings, Talis provides the following

recommendations to GEMG and the wider waste sector stakeholders to further advance the waste

management systems across the Region, set out in Table 13-1.

Table 13-1: Recommendations

Recommendations Responsibility

Local Governments continues to work collaboratively on waste management

issues across the Region and look to establish a formal Regional Local

Government Forum to progress regional waste management initiatives,

potentially using an existing forum, such as Goldfields Voluntary Regional

Organisation of Councils (GVROC). Specific initiatives may include:

o Amalgamation of waste tonnages from multiple LGAs to provide

economies of scale with potential for regional or joint tendering for

waste management services, such as mobile plant for Greenwaste

processing, tyre recycling, inert material crushing; and

o Knowledge sharing and further reporting on tonnages and priorities

to the waste sector.

Local

Governments

Waste Generators should look to establish a formal Regional forum to

collaborate and progress regional waste management initiatives and

priorities, which may include:

o Commitment from multiple waste generators to amalgamate waste

tonnages to provide economies of scale with potential for regional

or joint tendering for waste management service; and

o Knowledge sharing and further reporting on tonnages and priorities

to the waste sector.

Waste Generators

Both Groups should collaborate together on regional waste management issues

and initiatives such as joint group meetings, data and knowledge sharing. All

Continued collation and sharing of waste generation and treatment data across

the region to facilitate the above initiatives. All

All stakeholders should consider the adoption of a Waste Classification System

to provide a framework for consistent data gathering and reporting across

the Region. As part of this process, consideration should be given to the

Waste Classification System utilised in this Study.

All

Draft recommendations were presented at the GEMG Workshop in May 2016 and were subsequently

revised as part of the consultation process.

Data Collection Sheet - Explanatory notes


Oct-15

IntroductionThe Western Australian Waste Strategy: Creating the Right Environment (2012) (the Waste Strategy) acknowledges the state faces unique

challenges in managing waste in regional and remote areas, such as the Goldfields, due to difficulties in areas such as transport,

infrastructure, access to markets and funding.

The Waste Strategy recognises that appropriate planning and development of waste infrastructure is needed as early as possible,

particularly in the regional and remote areas of the State. The objectives of the Study are to:

• Improve waste management systems in the Region; and

• Collect and publish data to:

• Support policy development

• Assist waste infrastructure planning

• Guide investment

A Waste Data and Priorities Study has been initiated for the Goldfields Region (the Study Area) by the Goldfields Environmental

Management Group (GEMG).

To assist in the gathering and reporting of waste data, a Data Collection Sheet (DCS) has been developed for the project. Different

versions of the DCS have been developed for local governments, waste generators and private waste management service providers. The

DCS was developed to achieve the following objectives:

1. Reflect existing waste management practices to allow mapping of waste management activities;

2. Identify the sector of the economy from which the waste is generated, to inform future analysis and policy development;

3. Cover ‘cradle to grave’ as much as possible;

4. Maintain relevance to waste generation within the whole of Western Australia;

5. Ensure the system is user-friendly;

6. Minimise the potential for double counting; and

7. Allow industry to nominate their priorities across the Region.

A description of the DCS Structure and user process is provided below.

The DCS StructureThe following gives a breakdown of the DCS structure according to sheet name tabs within the DCS.

Respondent's Details

This sheet of the DCS requires the Respondent to complete details including basic contact information, information on your waste facilities

and, for local government, details regarding current population and predicted future population of your area. Data on future growth is to be

used in projecting future waste streams in the Study Area.

Waste Registry

The Waste Registry sheet covers the generation and/or management of waste and includes sections on Source, Quantity, Collection,

Processing/Disposal and, if relevant, Transfer Facilities. These sections cover the quantity and management of each waste stream

generated by the Respondent. The Source section of the sheet requires the user to fill in details relating to the source of all relevant waste

materials and the type of waste material that has been generated from this source. The red, blue and green columns of this segment are

coloured to correspond with the Waste Classification System (WCS) (see below) that has been developed for the Study. A copy of the

WCS, along with a separate WCS Explanatory Guide has been included in the DCS for reference when completing this section. If possible,

please provide data from the last full financial year.

DCS Waste Facility Outputs

This sheet of the DCS requires the Respondent to provide data related to any waste management facilities over which they have

operational control. Data is required on the outputs of these facilities including waste residues (e.g. non recyclable waste, sludges) or

products that have economic value e.g. recycling building products or separated recyclables.

Priorities

This section invites Respondents to highlight the priorities that are important to your organisation in relation to waste management. This is

the least prescriptive section of the DCS. We are seeking Respondent's views on:

·Problematic waste streams;

·Peak waste streams;

·Waste infrastructure gaps; and

·Market gaps.

Data Collection Sheet - Goldfields Waste Data and Priorities Study

Waste Classification System (WCS)

A WCS was developed for the study to assist with the gathering and reporting of data. The DCS has two sheets relating to the WCS. The

first is an explanatory guide and the second sheet contains details of the WCS. The WCS and DCS have matching colours in order to help

explain the coding process.

DCS MethodologyThe DCS are design to be filled in any manner that is deemed easiest for the Respondent. The electronic format of the DCS contains

definitions and descriptions of appropriate columns. These are found by hovering the mouse pointer over the relevant column heading.

Many columns also contain drop-down menus of potential inputs, which should be utilised as much as possible.

Confidentiality

All data collected will be regarded as confidential and only used for the purpose of this Study. Preliminary discussions have identified

potential benefits in releasing the raw data of Respondents. This may only be undertaken with the consent of individual Respondents.

Please select your preferences at the bottom of the the Respondent's Details sheet.

Upon Completion

Return completed Data Collection Sheets to Talis Consultants, the Study's Data Custodians. The preferred method is via email:

[email protected]. Please get in contact with Tess Murray or any of the project team should you have any queries or

concerns. Please return your completed DCS by Friday, 20th November 2015.
