The option chosen after LTP deliberations was a level of service of 6 days a week. Following the procurement process, Council will not be able to deliver that level of service for the budget set in the LTP.
Collection days may change with the new contractor, any changes will be advertised in due course.
Collection days may change with the new contractor, any changes will be advertised in due course.
This is the most cost effective solution that balances providing a good household collection service with drop-off service at the landfill and recycling centre.
Council has gone through a robust procurement process. The outcome will not change by going out to tender again in the short term.
The refuse bag price will be adjusted to a standard rate for rural and urban households of $4.60 per bag. A standard recycling crate will be provided to assist with the safe collection of recyclables.
Council has worked closely with the preferred tender to achieve the most cost effective solution that optimises the plant and equipment being provided by the Contractor. That is to provide a cost effective collection service and landfill operation. Three main options were reviewed 6 days operation at the landfill and resource recovery centre, this exceeded that current budget. 4 days operation at the landfill and resource recovery centre which is the most cost effective and balances the revenue risk between gate fees and refuse bags. 5 days operations at the landfill which puts the refuse bag revenue at risk. In addition Council providing more management of the services.
The preferred option of 4 days operation has a net cost of $753,000 which is within budget, so rates will not increase if revenue and bag sales and gate fees cover a high proportion of the cost.
In order to award the contract Council needs to consult with the community as the preferred option of 4 days is a significant change to level of service. This triggers Councils Significance & Engagement Policy and is therefore a legislative requirement.
Council will be providing extra refuse, recycling and waste services over the busy Christmas/New Year period. Please find all information in the Holiday Waste Schedule.
