Applications are open until 22 September for the Waste Data Readiness Grant Program.
The Grant Program will assist operators of resource recovery facilities with the cost of modifying business systems and infrastructure to comply with new legislative requirements under the Waste and Resource Recovery Act 2022.
From 1 July 2024, the Act will require operators of facilities (who receive or are likely to receive more than 1,000 tonnes and less than 10,000 tonnes of waste per year) to record and report the movement of waste into and out of their facility.
Applications of a grant of up to $30,000 are available for eligible applicants which includes smaller resource recovery facilities that receive or are likely to receive more than 1,000 tonnes and less than 10,000 tonnes of waste per financial year, and eligible facilities that did not apply for the Landfill Levy Readiness Grant Program in 2022 and/or were deemed unsuccessful that round.
See more information about the Grant Program guidelines and how to apply.
