RESPONSE TO FURTHER ADVICE - Waste Management Plan

                                                                                        Waste Management Plan

3.0 WASTE AND RECYCLING GENERATION
3.1             TYPE OF WASTE

The development is proposed to include workers accommodation only and as such, the
anticipated waste types include general waste and co-mingled recycling material only.
Provisions will be made for each anticipated waste type.

The development will be managed by the body corporate, which will engage a suitably
qualified landscape maintenance contractor to undertake ongoing grounds maintenance. As
part of this contractual arrangement, all green waste generated on-site will be removed by
the contractor. Accordingly, the provision of a Council green waste bin is not required for the
development.

3.2        WASTE VOLUMES

Calculations of the anticipated waste quantities for the development have been undertaken
using industry-standard generation rates, as agreed in the Further Advice notice issued by
Noosa Council on 19 December 2025. The adopted waste and recycling generation rates are
considered appropriate for the proposed use of the premises as workers’ accommodation,
which differs from typical residential dwellings.

Table 1 below displays the anticipated volume of general waste and recycling material that is
expected to be generated during the operational phase of the development.

The development is expected to generate approximately 960L per week of general waste and
960L per week of recycling material.

3.3        WASTE MINIMISATION INITIATIVES

To minimise waste to landfill, the following waste minimisation measures will be
implemented at the site:
      •    Provision of clearly labelled recycling bins within the waste storage area;
      •    Educational signage for residents regarding waste separation;
      •    Encouragement of cardboard flattening prior to disposal;
      •    Provision for periodic bulky waste collection through private contractor;
      •    Body corporate oversight of waste contractor engagement.
These measures align with the policy objective of encouraging waste reduction, reuse and
recycling.
