Introduction
This Introduction is not part of the Licence conditions.

DWER’s industry licensing role

The Department of Water and Environment Regulation (DWER) is a government department for the
state of Western Australia in the portfolio of the Minister for Environment. DWER’s purpose is to
advise on and implement strategies for a healthy environment for the benefit of all current and future
Western Australians.

DWER has responsibilities under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (the Act) for the
licensing of prescribed premises. Through this process DWER works with the business owners,
community, consultants, industry and other representatives to prevent, control and abate pollution and
environmental harm to conserve and protect the environment. DWER also monitors and audits
compliance with works approvals and licence conditions, takes enforcement action as appropriate and
develops and implements licensing and industry regulation policy.

Licence requirements
This Licence is issued under Part V of the Act. Conditions contained within the Licence relate to the
prevention, reduction or control of emissions and discharges to the environment and to the monitoring
and reporting of them.

Where other statutory instruments impose obligations on the Premises/Licensee the intention is not to
replicate them in the licence conditions. You should therefore ensure that you are aware of all your
statutory obligations under the Act and any other statutory instrument. Legislation can be accessed
through the State Law Publisher website using the following link:
http://www.slp.wa.gov.au/legislation/statutes.nsf/default.html

For your Premises relevant statutory instruments include but are not limited to obligations under the:

 Environmental Protection (Unauthorised Discharges) Regulations 2004 – these Regulations make

it an offence to discharge certain materials such as contaminated stormwater into the environment
other than in the circumstances set out in the Regulations.

 Environmental Protection (Controlled Waste) Regulations 2004 - these Regulations place

obligations on you if you produce, accept, transport or dispose of controlled waste.

 Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 – these Regulations require noise emissions
from the Premises to comply with the assigned noise levels set out in the Regulations.

Environmental Protection Act 1986 Page 2 of 42

Licence: L9159/2018/1
File Number: DER2018/001433 IRLB_TI0672 v2.8
You must comply with your licence. Non-compliance with your licence is an offence and strict
penalties exist for those who do not comply.
Licence holders are also reminded of the requirements of section 53 of the Act which places
restrictions on making certain changes to prescribed premises unless the changes are in accordance
with a works approval, licence, closure notice or environmental protection notice.

Licence fees
If you have a licence that is issued for more than one year, you are required to pay an annual licence
fee prior to the anniversary date of issue of your licence. Non payment of annual licence fees will
result in your licence ceasing to have effect meaning that it will no longer be valid and you will need to
apply for a new licence for your Premises.

Ministerial conditions
If your Premises has been assessed under Part IV of the Act you may have had conditions imposed
by the Minister for Environment. You are required to comply with any conditions imposed by the
Minister.

Premises description and Licence summary

The City of Cockburn (CoC) has operated the Henderson Waste Recovery Park (HWRP) on
Rockingham Road, Henderson since 1990. HWRP consists of an inert landfill, a putrescible landfill, a
domestic transfer station, green waste mulching area, a household hazardous waste storage shed,
leachate ponds and a landfill gas power generation plant. The putrescible landfill includes Cells 1,2
and 3 which are capped, Cells 4,5 and 6 which are currently uncapped and Cell 7 where waste is
actively being deposited. In June 2016, a Landfill Closure Management Plan was submitted setting out
the activities to be undertaken as part of the progressive closure and rehabilitation of the site.

HRWP currently accepts municipal solid waste, commercial and industrial waste, construction and
demolition waste, inert waste and alternate daily cover. The domestic transfer station accepts and
sorts solid waste pending final disposal or re-use. The HWRP provides a service to the Kwinana
Industrial strip and many other commercial and domestic users where metropolitan landfill capacity is
limited. Greenwaste is removed from the domestic waste stream only and stockpiled onsite until it is
chipped into mulch.

The HWRP is located on the Swan Coast Plain, 3 kilometres inland from the Indian Ocean coastline.
The premises is underlain by limestone and calcrete and depth to groundwater varies on site from
approximately 5 – 18 metres below ground level. The HWRP is located within the Environmental
Protection (Kwinana) (Atmospheric Wastes) Policy 1999 (Kwinana EPP) area. The Beeliar Regional
Park (Bush Forever) is located to the west of the property, separated by Rockingham Road and
contains the conservation category wetlands, Lake Mount Brown, Brownman Swamp and Anderson
Swamp. The nearest residences are located adjacent to the south west boundary, on Rockingham
and Musson Roads. There are also numerous residences and market gardens located to the east of
Cell 7, separated by the railway line, on Moylan Road, west of Cell 6 on Rockingham Road and
adjacent to the premises boundary to the east of Cell 4.

This licence is the replacement licence issued for L6965/1997/14 under the EP Act.

Licence amendment summary

In October 2019, a licence amendment application was submitted to perform infrastructure works to
construct landfill capping to Cell 6. The cell was finally completed in 2011 and it was decided to leave
the cell uncapped to allow it to decompose and settle and reach its final approved post-settlement cell
height by the beginning of the 2019-2020 financial year. The purpose of a landfill cap is to provide a
long-term sustainable barrier between the waste and the environment. It is designed to limit the
ingress of moisture to 75% of the leakage rate through the base liner, so as not to accumulate
leachate within the landfill.

Note 4: Carbon black dispersion (only near spherical agglomerates) for 10 different views: 9 in Categories 1 or 2

Note 5: The manufacturer has the option to select either one of the OIT methods listed to evaluate the
antioxidant content in the geomembrane.
Note 6: It is also recommended to evaluate samples at 30 and 60 days to compare with the 90 day response.
Note 7: The condition of the test shall be 20 hr. UV cycle at 75°C followed by 4 hr condensation at 60°C.
Note 8: Not recommended since the high temperature of the Std-OIT test produces an unrealistic result for some
of the antioxidants in the UV exposed samples.
Note 9: UV resistance is based on percentage retained value regardless of the original HP-OIT value.
For notes, refer to GRI Test Method GM17
Min Average Roll Value (min. ave.) is defined as the Mean value less 2 standard deviations.
