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.

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.

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

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-

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.

Area are presented on the following pages. A detailed breakdown of the waste generated within the

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-

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;
Waste management infrastructure gaps and opportunities; and
Market gaps and opportunities.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

waste
Remoteness of area makes access
to these waste facilities
difficult/impractical.
The Region has a low-level waste
facility, managed by the State
Government at Mount Walton in
the Shire of Coolgardie. However,
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

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.

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.

Goldfields Waste Data and Priorities Study

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.

Goldfields Waste Data and Priorities Study
Goldfields Environmental Management Group
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.

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

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.

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;
Waste management infrastructure gaps and opportunities; and
Market gaps and opportunities.
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.

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.

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.

Goldfields Waste Data & Priorities Study
Data Collection Sheet - Explanatory notes
Goldfields Environmental Management Group
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
Page 102
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.

Waste Management PrioritiesThis section invites Respondents to highlight the priorities that are important to your organisation in relation to waste streams, infrastructure and markets. In detail, we are seeking
information on the following:
·Problematic waste streams - Please let us know which waste streams are problematic for your organisation within the Region.
·Peak waste streams - We would also like to know about your peak waste streams .
·Waste infrastructure gaps and opportunities - What are the waste infrastructure gaps in the Region? And what opportunities are there for improving the Region's waste infrastructure?
·Markets gaps and opportunities - Some regional areas lack local markets for recycled products and may be isolated to international markets due to the location.
We would like your views on what the Goldfields lacks in terms of local markets for waste.
Problematic Waste Streams Waste infrastructure - Gaps and OpportunitiesAny additional comments - please provide us with any additional
comments on waste management within the Region.
Which waste stream(s) does your organisation consider to be problematic?Do you consider there to be waste infrastructure gaps? If so, please tell us more about what (and
where) you think these gaps are.
Why do you consider these to be problematic/failing? (please specify why for each waste stream,
as relevant)
What opportunities are there for improvements for waste infrastructure in the Region? (i.e. particular
types of facilities, capacity required, locations, etc.)
In your/your organisation's opinion, what actions could be taken to resolve these issues?
In your/your organisation's opinion, what solutions are there to reduce these peak waste
streams? (please specify which waste stream you are referring to if referring to multiple waste
streams above)
What opportunities do you see there being which could advance access to local and international
markets?
Peak Waste Streams Market Gaps and Opportunities
What are your peak waste stream(s), based on annual quantities generated? (Please list) Do you consider there to be any market gaps in the Region? If so, what are they?
