Waste Management (Amendment) (Regulator) Bill 2019

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposal would require the Minister to prepare a report on appointing an independent regulator for household waste services. That regulator would be able to licence waste companies, oversee domestic waste charges, and enforce its decisions with fines or other sanctions if needed. It matters because it aims to strengthen oversight of waste collection, improve transparency on pricing, and give households better protection against unfair charges.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Waste Management Act 1996 to require the Minister to produce a report on the appointment of an independent regulator for the domestic waste management sector, including the regulation of domestic waste charges.
