1.

PURPOSE

The inappropriate handling and disposal of solid waste materials can impact on both human safety and
risk contamination of the natural environment.
This plan covers the handling and disposal of waste generated by our operations, inclusive of domestic
and construction waste. The general waste management principles of prevent, minimise, recycle or reuse, with disposal as a last option will apply. Only permitted and registered landfills will be considered as
options for disposal of waste.

COMPONENTS

The plan is made up of the following components:

a. Waste minimisation
b. Waste disposal
c. Hazardous waste
