Requirements for operators in the levy zone
Monthly summary data return
Waste summary data return requirements
Summary data returns provide information the chief executive requires to calculate the amount of levy owing and are required from the following operators:
- operators of levyable waste disposal sites in the waste levy zone
- operators of levyable waste disposal sites in the non-levy zone if any levyable waste, generated in the waste levy zone or interstate, is received at the sites during the levy period to which the return relates.
Summary data returns must be provided by the end of the month after a levy period (e.g. 31 August for a July levy period). Operators of a levyable waste disposal site can apply for an extension of time to submit a waste data return if they are unable to meet the due date. Applications for an extension of time must be made prior to the due date for the waste data return.
Application forms are available for download from Applications and forms.
Summary returns are to be made via the QWDS (Queensland Waste Data System).
Any changes to a summary data return can be made in QWDS. These must be made within four months of the due date for that levy period. Please refer to the Waste Data Return Adjustment Policy for further information.
