waste levy allocation to the waste avoidance and resource recovery account was
spent on waste management programs and initiatives in 2018–19.

cent of the waste levy that is allocated to the WARR account was spent on
Department of Water and Environmental Regulation staff in 2018–19.

national waste policy and legislation, Waste Authority executive and corporate
support, and waste operations compliance and enforcement.
