The NSW Opposition will move to stop Minns Labor Government regulations that are set to increase rubbish and recycling costs for households across the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow Minister for Local Government Wendy Tuckerman said the Opposition will move to disallow the Local Government (General) Amendment (Tendering) Regulation (No 2) 2023, that will drive up council costs which will be inevitably passed on to ratepayers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDue to their poor design and a lack of consultation with stakeholders, Labor\u2019s regulations forced operational inefficiencies on waste management contractors, and will potentially force councils to pay double for accrued employee entitlements,\u201d Mrs Tuckerman said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPushing through poorly thought amendments without consultation or advice from councils, waste contractors, or peak industry bodies has resulted in a terrible outcome for everyone \u2013 particularly NSW ratepayers who will end up having to pay for this mess.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow Minister for Environment Kellie Sloane said the failure to ensure transparency and fairness within the regulation has already impacted councils\u2019 waste tendering process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLabor\u2019s rushed plan is stifling competition and innovation across the waste management and resource recovery sectors,\u201d Ms Sloane said. \u201cThis will have long-term repercussions for the providers, councils and our environment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe urge the Government to engage with stakeholders, and work together on a new and effective solution,\u201d Mrs Tuckerman said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Councils and communities across the state are calling for certainty, simplicity and cost efficiencies \u2013 these regulations from the Minns Labor Government is the exact opposite\u201d. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
