The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission proposes to authorise the Metropolitan Waste Management Group (MWMG) on behalf of itself and five metropolitan Melbourne councils (Knox City Council, Maroondah City Council, Yarra Ranges Shire Council, Manningham City Council and Whitehorse City Council) to undertake a joint tender and contract process for the supply of organic waste processing services. The ACCC is proposing to grant authorisation for eighteen years.
The ACCC has also decided to grant interim authorisation for MWMG and the Participating Councils to commence the tender and contract negotiation process, but not to enter into contracts.
Further information is available on authorisation public register.
