The Queensland Government’s waste levy comes into effect from today. While the State Government has said that residents will not cop extra costs – we think the levy will increase the financial and regulatory pressures placed on small business. 

While local governments are directed by the law to use the amount paid to lessen the direct impact of the waste levy on households, businesses are not included. 

Your answers in the Suncorp CCIQ Pulse Survey will be used to inform us of the key issues affecting your business within your local government area. 

This is the first step in developing region-specific reports, ahead of the local council elections in March 2020. We are developing these in partnership with regional chambers and you to hold the government responsible for creating a better business environment in your region.
