Appendix F - Amended Solid Waste Management Plan

Bin store areas are to be designed in accordance with provisions contained within sections 7, 8 and
9 of the NSC Planning Scheme Policy 9 for waste container storage areas, container storage rooms
and design standards for vehicle access. These provisions are as follows:

7.0      Size of Waste Storage Areas

7.1      The following matters will be considered in determining an appropriate size for waste storage
         areas-

      (a) Types pf waste and storage required –
             i. Bins for putrescible waste;
            ii. Bins for recyclables;
           iii. Drums for waste cooking oils;
           iv.  Bales for cardboard;
            v.  Bags or bins for green waste; and
           vi.  Any other specialised waste storage bins needed, eg: medical waste; and

      (b) Sufficient space between waste storage bins to allow for manoeuvring and washing of bins,
          where appropriate.

7.2      Waste storage area can be roofed or unroofed. Appendices 4 and 5 display examples of a
         roofed and an unroofed bin wash and waste storage area.

7.3      Waste storage areas contain bunded and non-bunded areas depending on their size and the
         type of waste to be stored.

7.4      Where bunded areas are required –

      a) Waste oil containers must be stored within bunded areas; and

      b) Bins must be washed down within bunded areas.

Aesthetics – Waste Storage Areas

      a) Screening of waste storage areas is required.

      b) Waste storage areas can be attractively designed to minimise their visual impact in the
         streetscape and surrounding areas. Examples exist within our shire of such storage areas.

8.0      Indoor waste storage

8.1      Waste and storage bins must not be placed-

      a) Where they may impede safe use of any exit, exit corridor, doorway or stairway;

      b) Under stairways; or

      c) Near any existing or potential heat source.

8.2      Waste storage bins must be made of non-combustible materials.
