(3) Despite
subsection (2) , the chief executive is not stopped from identifying an entity
as a planning entity and giving it an information notice under subsection (1)
on the basis that the entity is part of a sector of planning entities.
(4)
The chief executive may identify an entity as a planning entity only on the
basis of 1 or more of the following, having regard to the entity’s
activities—
(a) the total waste generated by the entity in carrying on its
activities is more than the threshold prescribed under a regulation;
(c) waste generated by the
entity in carrying on its activities is or includes waste that is a priority
product prescribed under a regulation as a priority product to which this
paragraph applies;
(d) waste generated by the entity in carrying on its
activities is or includes waste that is regulated waste prescribed under a
regulation as regulated waste to which this paragraph applies.
(5) If an
entity is identified as a planning entity on the basis of subsection (4) (a) ,
all waste generated by the entity is
"relevant waste" for the entity, regardless of whether the entity is also a
planning entity on any other basis under this section.
(6) If subsection (5)
does not apply to a planning entity, the following waste is
"relevant waste" for the entity—
(b) if the entity is identified as a
planning entity on the basis of subsection (4) (c) —the priority product
prescribed under subsection (4) (c) ;
(c) if the entity is identified as a
planning entity on the basis of subsection (4) (d) —the regulated waste
prescribed under subsection (4) (d) .
(7) For subsection (6) , it does not
matter if particular waste generated by an entity is relevant waste for the
entity under more than 1 paragraph of the subsection.
(8) An entity that,
apart from this subsection, could be identified as a planning entity in
relation to a priority product on the basis of subsection (4) (c) , can not be
identified as a planning entity in relation to the product if the entity—
(a) is a participant in an accredited product stewardship scheme or approved
program applying to the product; and
(b) is meeting its obligations under the
scheme or program in relation to the priority product.
