Description of Conduct

An application for minor variation of authorisation A90886 was lodged by the Councils of Camden, Campbelltown City, Wollondilly Shire and Wingecarribee Shire on 29 September 2005.

Councils sought to vary the period in which they were authorised to conduct the collective tendering process respect of:
(a) dry recyclable material
(b) organic waste (mainly plant material from gardens) and
(c) residual waste.

After assessing the application and conducting public consultation, the ACCC is of the view that the variation will not alter the public benefits / anticompetitive detriments balance of the original authorisation.

Accordingly, the period of the collective tender process has been varied to a maximum of 18 months from 7 January 2005.
