Trade waste is increasingly recognised as a priority area for improvement across Queensland’s water sector. Here’s how you can contribute to its solution.

Trade Waste Management: A Shared Responsibility

Businesses that discharge non-domestic wastewater—such as from food preparation, manufacturing, or commercial cleaning—require a Trade Waste Approval from their local authority.

Councils are responsible for developing and implementing trade waste guidelines that align with Queensland’s environmental protection and waste management regulations. As these frameworks evolve, so too does the need for consistent understanding and capability across the sector.

Supporting Change and Improvement

To support this, we offer a suite of nationally recognised training programs and non-accredited workshops:

• Certificate IV in Water Industry Operations – Trade Waste Specialisation
• Diploma in Water Industry Operations – Trade Waste Specialisation
• Customised Short Course for Trade Waste Monitoring

Specialised training focuses on giving Trade Waste Operators practical skills and knowledge. Get a training plan that’s right for you and contextualised training for local legislation to help develop your organisation’s skills and knowledge.
