(1) A person who conducts a recycling activity prescribed by regulation may
apply to the chief executive for approval of a discounted rate for the waste
levy for residue waste identified in the application (a
"residue waste discounting application" ).
(2) The application must—
(a) be
in the approved form; and
(b) be supported by enough information to allow the
chief executive to decide the application; and
(c) be accompanied by the fee
prescribed by regulation.
(3) The Minister may recommend to the Governor in
Council the making of a regulation under subsection (1) about a particular
recycling activity only if the Minister is satisfied that—
(a) giving a
discount on the waste levy for residue waste from the activity will have a
significant impact on the activity becoming established and sustained in
Queensland; and
(b) the activity optimises the market and material value that
can be derived from the waste used as feedstock for the activity.
(4) The
"discounted rate" for the waste levy for residue waste is the rate prescribed
by regulation.
