12  Requirements for an expansion project
 (1) An expansion project must:
 (a) expand an existing AWT facility in order to increase the facility's capacity to process eligible waste, that would otherwise enter landfill, using eligible waste treatment technology; and
 (b) then process eligible waste, that would otherwise enter landfill, at the expanded facility using eligible waste treatment technology.
 (2) An application made under section 22 of the Act in relation to an expansion project must be accompanied by appropriate evidence that is sufficient to calculate, using equation 8, the historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste processed by the existing AWT facility in the 24‑month period before the application is made.
Note: An expansion project that does not have evidence for the whole of the 24‑month period will not meet the requirements to be an eligible offsets project.
