1 Introduction
1.1. Background
TTM Consulting has been engaged by Stockwell Development Group PT to prepare an OWMP to support the
proposed residential development located at 17-19 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville. It is understood that a
development application will be lodged with Noosa Council.
1.2. Scope
The content of this OWMP is intended to provide information in reverse order to the typical movement of
waste streams from disposal to collection. The reverse order provides context for refuse collection, storage
and transfer. Information on refuse disposal and collection points is given for each use within the
development. The items covered within the OWMP are described in Table 1.1. The key information for
Council approval can be found in Section 2.
Table 1.1: Scope Items
Item Description
Refuse streams Identification of refuse streams and anticipated refuse volumes likely to be produced
Refuse separation Recommendations for appropriate segregation methods for each refuse stream
Refuse collections Assessment of refuse collection vehicle (RCV) access and manoeuvring
Refuse storage Detailed analysis of refuse storage facilities and design
Refuse transfer Assessment of refuse transfer between refuse storage and collections areas
Refuse disposal Recommendations for refuse disposal within the development
Refuse management equipment Identification of recommended and optional refuse management systems and equipment
Recommendations for operational efficiency and ongoing management, including refuse
Refuse management operations
minimisation, tenant education and safety
Building design Recommendations for design of refuse management facilities
Detailed information including refuse calculations, site plans and drawings, recommended refuse
management equipment and system specifications, common refuse signage as well as a list of terms and
abbreviations are provided in the appendices.
The recommendations in this OWMP relate to the operational phase of the development. Additional
requirements for refuse management during or after demolition or construction phases are not included and
require a dedicated plan.
The provisions outlined in this OWMP are considered appropriate for this type of development. It is noted
that the refuse rooms are suitably sized to accommodate the refuse generated and number of bins proposed
based on standard storage and collection methods. The refuse rooms will also accommodate all options for
alternate equipment and disposal methods.

1.3. Council’s Refuse Planning Scheme
Compliance relates to alignment with the Noosa Council’s Refuse Planning Scheme Policy (PSP) 9 – Waste
Management and associated codes. The content of the OWMP is written with the purpose of providing a
guide for the design, construction and operational phases of the development and therefore may be
updated to include detailed information as required for each phase. The plan satisfies Council’s
requirements by providing the following information:
• Type and quantity of refuse materials to be generated during the occupancy of the development.
• Refuse collection, storage, transfer and disposal arrangements during occupancy of the completed
development.
• Recommended operational requirements for the development, and design requirements for the building
and refuse management facilities.
1.4. Site Location
The site is located at Lot 17-19 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville as shown in Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2.The property
description is Lot 3 on SP246584 which currently comprises of Lot 17, 18 and 19 SP on SP182880. The site is
has a single frontage to Hofmann Drive and is currently occupied by vacant land. The site is located adjacent

2 Refuse Management
This section describes the arrangements for the collection, storage, transfer and disposal of refuse within the
development. This includes associated bin quantities, storage capacities, equipment details, collection
frequencies and site access details.
2.1. Refuse Collection
2.1.1. Bin Quantities
Table 2.1 outlines the number of bins per collection. As waste volumes may vary according to the
development occupants’ attitudes to waste disposal and recycling, bin numbers and sizes may need to be
altered to suit the building operation. The table shows the maximum number of bins and equipment
expected.
Table 2.1: Bins per Collection
Refuse Stream Bin / Equipment - Type or Size Collection Frequency Bins per Collection
General Waste 1100L 2 (per week) 6
Commingled Recycling 1100L 2 (per week) 6
2.1.2. Collection Cycle
Table 2.2 outlines the RCV types and estimated collection frequencies / site entries required to service the
site. The type of vehicles allocated, and demand will be subject to final design and potential volume
reduction equipment. The figures demonstrated apply as an indicative maximum demand and servicing days
will be subject to coordination between building management and SCC.

2.1.3. RCV Arrangements
Refuse vehicles will enter and exit the site in a forward gear via Hofmann Drive. A single reversing
manoevure is required around the loading area to exit the site in a forward gear.
The loading area provided for the RCV has a minimum 3.5m width, 12m length, unobstructed height
clearances for servicing and is on a generally flat gradient of 1:50.
All bins will be stored and collected directly from the refuse room, in close proximity to the loading area.
Site: 17-19 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville 9
Reference: 21BRW0009
Page 11
Further details on vehicle access, egress and on-site manoeuvring can be found in the TTM traffic report. 2.2. Refuse Storage Refuse will be stored in 1100L waste and recycling bulk bins in the refuse rooms and can accommodate all required bins. Buildings A and B will have basement level refuse rooms, while building C will have a ground floor refuse room. Building C will store all bins for collection. A bin wash area will be provided within each refuse room. Space for infrequent disposal of bulky items and electronic waste is to be arrangement with building management. Further information on design requirements are provided in Section 4. 2.3. Refuse Transfer Residents will transfer general waste and recycling from their apartments directly to the respective refuse rooms via the lift and stair cores as required. Prior to collections, bins from Buildings A and B will be transferred to the Building C refuse room. Building management will be required to transfer bins via moving equipment such as a bin tug due to ramp grades. Minimal transfer is required by the SCC collecting contractor. On servicing days, bins will be transferred directly from the refuse room to the loading area and returned once serviced. 2.4. Refuse Disposal The tables in this section summarise general recommended disposal arrangements for frequently generated and infrequently generated refuse for each use within the development. Section 2.4.1 describes the frequently generated refuse streams that are generated in high volumes for any given period and require significant capacity for storage prior to collections. Section 2.4.2 describes the infrequently generated refuse streams that are generated in relatively low volumes, and where minimal provision for storage can be easily managed by collection frequency. 2.4.1. Frequent Refuse Residents will have adequate storage within their units for at least one day of waste and recycling. As required, residents will dispose their waste and recycling directly to the refuse rooms. Further details are provided in Table 2.3 and Table 2.4.

Table 2.3: Disposal of Frequently Generated Waste
Refuse Stream Disposal Details
WASTE
General Waste Waste bins should always be lined with bags and the bags tied before removal. Operationally, general
waste should weigh approximately 3 kg or less and does not exceed the dimensions of the waste
receptacles. Waste bins should be accompanied by a commingled recycling bin in order to facilitate
separation of general waste and recycling.
Residents will have storage of at least one day of general waste within their individual units. Residents
will be encouraged to have receptacles in their units.
Organic (Food) Waste Separating organic or food waste from general waste may be considered to reduce the total amount of
general waste produced. Apartment style equipment such as organic household composter or worm
farms are available for use where practical and space allows. Composting should be arranged with the
building management. Refer to Appendix C.2 and C.4 for options.
RECYCLING
Recycling Comingled, Items for recycling must not be bagged and disposed in loose form. This can be done by decanting the
including materials from the individual receptacles into the bulk bins in the refuse rooms.
• glass Residents will have storage of at least one day of recycling within their individual units. Residents will be
• aluminum encouraged to have receptacles in their units
• steel cans Recycling bins will usually be used for all recycling materials (commingled recycling). However, residents
are encouraged to make use of the container refund scheme and separate eligible containers from the
• tins
commingled recycling material (see below).
• paper
Container deposit / refund schemes are currently in place in Queensland. Various models exist including
• small cardboard
bottle return facilities and (automated) reverse vending machines.
• semi rigid plastics Occupants should be encouraged to separate containers that qualify for the schemes from the waste or
recycling streams, and send back to a return points. Storage space or dedicated bins within the units or
refuse rooms can be provided.
2.4.2. Infrequent Waste
Table 2.4: Disposal of Infrequently Generated Waste
Refuse Stream Disposal Details
Green Waste Green waste is not typically produced from a development of this type other than from surrounding
landscaped areas or potted plants. Green waste is usually removed by the designated maintenance
contractor. The contractor engaged for this work will be required to send this material to a composting
or resource recovery facility rather than to a landfill if locally available.
Hard Waste / Bulky Hard waste / bulky goods will be collected on designated days during the year and will be the
Goods responsibility of the resident. Further information can be found on Council’s website.
It is prohibited for residents to stack or pile items on the footpaths, driveways, or in carparks. Unless
instructed by council, charitable organisations may be contacted by building manager/s for collections.
Hazardous Waste Where applicable, occupants usually make their own arrangements for the disposal of specialised or
(paints, batteries and hazardous waste and electronic waste such as recycling of toner cartridges and batteries. Please refer to
cartridges) local council and state government websites for disposal options.
Electronic Waste It is an expectation that the building management assist with disposal of hazardous, electronic or liquid
waste and any paint or chemicals as required and requested. Hazardous waste must be handled with
due care, separated and securely stored for collection by a specialist waste contractor. Please refer to
local council and state government websites for further information.

C.3 Refuse Transfer and Disposal Methods
Method Examples Description
Manual Manual transfer is simply the process of physically carrying waste
transfer / bags, food waste receptacles or recycling boxes and crates
disposal without assistance.
From a safety perspective, this is acceptable for small quantities
and initial disposal into refuse compartments or, in the case of
ground level activities, directly into the refuse room.
• Waste material should be bagged prior to any transfer from
apartments, suites, offices, back-of-house areas etc. to
waste storage compartments or rooms.
• Food waste should be placed in receptacles such as a caddy
style bin or bucket which will not allow leakage during
transfer.
• Recycling material should be placed in boxes or crates prior
to transfer.
• Cardboard and paper items can be placed within another
cardboard box for transfer.

C.4 Refuse Minimisation Options
Refuse Minimisation Options – Waste
Systems Description
Composting Food waste composing is an option of reducing the amount of general waste going to landfill where organic
waste can create methane gas due to anaerobic digestion, which contributes to global warming. Systems of
different scales exist from small benchtop composters for individual households or apartments to commercial
size systems. Examples are shown below.
The process usually involves breaking down organic food scraps through natural processes. This includes
systems such as worm farms or composters where microbes break down the food waste, with or without the
aid of compost additives. The composted products are rich in nutrients and good bacteria, and they can be
added to flower bed or gardens.
Most food wastes and other organic (garden) material can be composted including meat, fish, vegetables,
fruit, dairy, coffee or wilted flowers. However, large bones, excessive liquids such as cooking oil or seafood
shells should not be placed in the composers.
Sources: https://www.urbancomposter.com.au, https://closedloop.com.au/upcycling-products,
Waste Converting waste by reducing its volume and weight means less material to be disposed of, which results in
Conversion fewer refuse collection vehicle kilometres. This allows cost savings in logistics and has a positive environmental
effect due to less fuel used per amount of waste to be disposed.
As an example, OMPECO provide a solution for converting general and medical waste into a sterilised,
dehydrated ground material as shown below. The process involves loading the sterilisation chamber with
waste material and crushing / shredding of the material by rotors to produce a fine ground. During the
process, the material is heated by friction to 100˚C which causes the moisture in the waste material to
evaporate. After evaporation, the material is heated further to sterilisation or pasteurisation. The ground
material is then cooled down to be unloaded from the converter. The final product has excellent long-term
handling and storage properties, the it has up to 80% less volume and 50% less weight than the original waste
material. It can be used in waste to energy systems as it is comparatively dry with a high calorific value.

Systems Description
Charity A good way of minimising waste is to reuse items that are still good to use. Several charity organisations exist
donations that accept items such clothing, shoes, bedding, books, toys, furniture, kitchenware and other household
items. The donated items must not be torn, damaged or broken. Electrical appliances such as white goods are
usually not accepted.
Common organisations operating in Australia include Saint Vincent de Paul Society (Vinnies) and Lifeline (see
images below). Items can be placed into the organisations’ charity / donation bins located in various public
spaces such as near community or shopping areas. Alternatively, they can be dropped off at the organisations’
shops during opening hours. Refer to https://www.lifeline.org.au or https://www.vinnies.org.au for further
information.
For larger developments and precincts where large amounts of donation items can be expected, the
placement of charity bins within the development should be taken into consideration.

Refuse Minimisation Options – Recycling
Systems Description
Container Container deposit / refund schemes are currently in place in several states in Australia. Various models exist
deposit including bottle return facilities and (automated) reverse vending machines.
schemes Residents, tenants, staff and cleaners should be encouraged to separate containers that qualify for the
schemes from the waste or recycling streams, and return them to one of the return points. Storage space or
dedicated bins within tenancies, apartments or communal areas should be provided.
For larger developments or precincts where large amounts of empty containers are expected, consideration
may be given to an on-site return point. The return points should be located near recycling bins so that
cardboard boxes or plastic bags that have been used to transfer the empty containers to the return point can
be disposed appropriately. This can prevent cluttering of the area around the return point.
The images below show a typical return point and containers that commonly qualify for a deposit refund.
