Overview

This Policy sets out how we regulate sewerage and trade waste discharges to its sewerage system in accordance with the NSW Framework for Regulation of Sewerage and Trade Waste.

The objectives of this Policy are to:

  • Protect public and workers’ health and safety and the environment
  • Protect Council’s assets from damage
  • Minimise adverse impacts on sewage treatment processes
  • Assist Council in meeting regulatory and licence compliance
  • Promote water conservation, waste minimisation, cleaner production, effluent recycling and biosolids reuse
  • Provide an environmentally responsible liquid trade waste service to the non-residential sector
  • Ensure commercial provision of services and full cost recovery through appropriate sewerage and liquid trade waste fees and charges

This Policy applies to all non-residential premises within the Dubbo Regional Council Local Government Area (LGA) that discharge liquid trade waste into our sewerage system. It includes industrial, commercial and community premises, as well as tankered waste. The Policy excludes domestic sewage and wastewater from residential kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.
