56 .         Waste collection permit

        (1)         The CEO may, subject to this section and regulations made for the purposes of this section, issue a permit to collect local government waste (a waste collection permit ).

        (2)         The CEO must not issue a waste collection permit to collect local government waste in a local government district or part of a district unless —

            (a)         a local government does not collect the local government waste specified in the waste collection permit in that district or part of that district; or

            (b)         the criteria specified in subsection (3) are met.

        (3)         The CEO may issue a waste collection permit to collect local government waste in a local government district or part of a district if the CEO is of the opinion that —

            (a)         the collection by the local government of the local government waste specified in the waste collection permit in the district or part of a district is not adequate insofar as the waste management techniques employed are not consistent with modern practice; and

            (b)         the applicant for the waste collection permit is capable of carrying out improved waste collection.

        (4)         If a waste collection permit to collect local government waste in a local government district or part of a district is in force, a local government must not collect that local government waste without the written approval of the CEO.

        (5)         A person aggrieved by a decision of the CEO under this section may apply to the State Administrative Tribunal for a review of the decision.
