(1) Yes. (2) The review is being carried out by the Waste Management Board (WMB), in accordance with the statutory requirement. The Board is considering two consultants’ reports into various aspects of the WMRF. One of these reports considered the grants program. The other covered the rebate scheme and the landfill levy. The Board will incorporate findings from both of these consultants’ reports into a final review document. (3) The WMB’s review is nearing completion and the main findings are not yet available. (4) The WMB will release its review in the form of a public discussion document which will be publicly released and will also be accessible on the WMB’s website. This document will outline the findings of the review and will propose recommended changes to the levy, the grants and rebate schemes. Following the public consultation period, the WMB will submit the review document, with any agreed amendments incorporated, to the Government for consideration.
