2018 Annual report

The Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (the Authority) released its 2018 annual report, detailing its oversight activities and audited financial statements.

The Authority is a non-Crown and not-for-profit corporation established under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016 (RRCEA).

Under the RRCEA the Authority provides oversight and is responsible for:

  • developing and operating a registry for producers responsible for materials under the RRCEA
  • undertaking compliance actions to enforce the requirements set out in the RRCEA and associated regulations

The Authority is also responsible for oversight, compliance and enforcement of existing waste diversion programs and their wind up under the Waste Diversion Transition Act, 2016 (WDTA).

The RRCEA includes governance, accountability and transparency measures to help ensure that the Authority operates effectively and assists government oversight. A key accountability measure is the requirement that the Authority develop an annual report detailing its activities under the RRCEA and the WDTA during the previous fiscal year and provide its audited financial statements.

The Authority is required to:

  • develop its annual report in accordance with section 44 of the RRCEA, section 6 of the WDTA and the Transitional Operating Agreement between the Minister and the Authority
  • provide a copy of the annual report to the Minister and to make the report available to the public on the Authority's website by June 1 each year
