The NSW Government has extended the waste levy waiver to the Central Coast LGA to further support communities grappling with the aftermath of heavy rainfall and flooding early in April.
The waste levy waiver, announced on April 12, followed the declaration of the region’s eligibility for disaster assistance on April 11.
Coast residents can now dispose of flood-affected items at landfill sites without incurring the waste levy fee.
Lifting the fee aims to expedite the recovery process and ease financial burdens on impacted households and businesses.
The extension takes the total number of eligible areas to 22.
Residents will not be charged the waste levy fee to get rid of flood-generated waste until June 30, though local landfill gate fees may apply.
The exemption coves waste on public and private land, including damaged building materials, furniture, carpet, gardening debris and any other flood-related products.
