LANDFILL LEVY — WASTE AVOIDANCE AND
RESOURCE RECOVERY ACCOUNT
1005. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the Minister for Environment:
I refer to the funds obtained through the landfill levy over
the last financial year.
(1) Were any
of the funds in the waste avoidance and resource recovery account directed to
the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation?
(2) Were any
of the funds raised from the landfill levy and directed to consolidated revenue
then directed to the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON
replied:
I thank the
member for some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2) No. Waste
levy funds directed to consolidated revenue are applied consistent with the
state budget process.
