(d) mechanism or pathway used to move bins to the waste storage area;
(e) the need for a bin wash facility;
(f) whether the collection service will be kerbside or on private property; and
(g) whether a central waste storage area will be used prior to relocation of the bin to a bin collection point.
(2) Council may consider the following matters in assessing applications under the Planning Act 2017:
(a) the types of waste generated;
(b) waste generation rates;
(c) minimum service levels;
(d) the types of waste storage bins;
(e) location of waste storage areas and bin wash areas;
(f) required size of waste storage areas
(g) safe vehicle and pedestrian access to bins; and
(h) nuisance issues.
(3) Types of Waste Generated – Consideration of the following matters will determine the types of waste storage bins and the
minimum service level required;
(a) whether the waste will be putrescible or dry waste;
(b) whether the waste will be recyclable waste; and
(c) whether the waste will be heavy or light.
(4) Waste Generation Rates Refer to SC6.10 Appendix 1 which provides a guide to likely waste generation for various uses.
(5) Minimum Service Levels – Table SC6.10.5.1 indicates minimum service levels for uses. Council may seek to vary the
requirements having regard to the size, location and level of occupancy of the use.
(6) Specialised Waste Storage Bins – SC6.10 Appendix 2 describes two types of specialised waste storage bins available through
Council’s contractor.
(7) Size and location of Waste Storage Areas –
(a) The following matters will be considered in determining an appropriate size for waste storage areas:
(i) Types of waste and storage required:
• bins for putrescible waste;
• bins for recyclables;
• drums for waste cooking oils;
• bales for cardboard;
• bags or bins for green waste; and
• any other specialised waste storage bins needed, eg: medical waste; and
(ii) Sufficient space between waste storage bins to allow for maneuvering and washing of bins, where appropriate
noting that the bin store must be large enough for the bins to sit next to each other, not behind each other.
(b) Adequate lighting needs to be provided to allow the usage of the bin store after dark
(c) Internal waste rooms should be well ventilated and have a smooth easily cleanable floor
(d) Suitable drainage, with water discharging into a sewer drain, must be installed to allow the washing of bins and a tap with
hose connection available.
(e) Waste storage areas can be roofed or unroofed.
(f) Waste storage areas contain bunded and nonbunded areas depending on their size and he type of waste to be stored.
Where bunded areas are required:
(i) waste oil containers must be stored within bunded areas; and
(ii) bins must be washed within the bunded area.
Advisory Note: Washing bins within bunded areas 240 litre bins should be tipped on their side and washed out to the bunded drain. Bulk bins
should be wheeled over the bunded area and washed out by removing the plug from the base of the bin.
(8) Screening of Waste Storage Areas Waste storage areas are required to be screened and can be attractively designed to
minimise their visual impact on the streetscape and surrounding areas. Examples exist within our shire of such storage areas.
Figure SC6.10.1 indicates a storage area designed as a feature wall, with 240 litre bins stored behind the wall and access via
wooden panel doors.
