This report has been prepared in accordance with local and state policy and legislative requirements.
Policies, guidelines and legislation that are applicable to waste management during the operational
phase for the proposed development include:

    •   The Noosa Plan – regulates development within the Noosa Shire Local Government Area;
    •   Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 9 – Waste Management – prescribes criteria for the provision
        of waste;
    •   Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 11 – Waste Management Plans – prescribes required
        information that is to be included when developing a Waste Management Plan.
    •   Queensland Sustainable Planning Act 2009 – regulates the development assessment
        process;
    •   Queensland Environmental Protection Act 1994 - Provides an overarching General
        Environmental Duty and environmental harm provisions;
    •   Queensland Environmental Protection Regulation 2008 - Contains schedule of regulated
        wastes, Environmentally Relevant Activities (for licensing);
    •   Queensland Environmental Protection (Waste Management) Policy 2000;
    •   Queensland Environmental Legislation Amendment and Repeal Regulation (No.1) 2014;
    •   Queensland Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011; and

In addition, the proposed waste management strategy will comply with the following Australian
Standards:

    •   ‘Australian/New Zealand Standard for Reusable Containers for the Collection of Sharp Items
        Used in Human and Animal Medical Applications: AS/NZ4261-1994’; and

In accordance with Schedule 2, Part 12 of the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008, waste
management activities that are to be carried out as part of the proposed development do not
constitute an Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA). Therefore, the proposed development does
not require approvals pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act 1994.
