The Crown and defence reached a joint submission on penalty.
The court imposed total fines of $140,000 plus victim fine surcharges and a 15-month probation order with unique conditions including a prohibition on bulking hazardous wastes for six months and the installation of an embedded auditor.
All remaining charges were withdrawn.
The court commended both parties for the innovative use of an embedded auditor as a rehabilitative tool.
