Appendix M - Operational Waste Management Plan · MCU21/0146

4           Recommended Design Requirements
This section lists general recommended design requirements for the building and refuse management
facilities. They should be considered for optimal refuse management within the development, and to comply
with relevant regulations and Council requirements. Further details can be found in Council’s Planning
Scheme Policy.

4.1.        Bin Servicing Point
The RCV’s will park in the loading area as detailed in Section 2.1.3 for refuse collections. The bin service point
will have the following features:

•    Has unobstructed access and clearance for the waste and recycling collection vehicles to service the
     bins, including no overhead obstructions.

•    Allows bins to be serviced safely while minimising the impediment to vehicle movements during
     servicing.

•    Is separated from footpaths and pedestrian access.

     Is devoid of stairs, lips or ramps and allows bins to be manoeuvred easily.

•    Does not block the entry and exit to the property.

•    Is not adjacent to a kitchen or eating area for public use.

•    Is over 5m from any door, window or fresh air intake within the development or any adjoining site.

•    Is screened sufficiently to minimise the view of bins from neighbouring properties or passing vehicles
     and pedestrian traffic external to the site.

•    Is positioned away from entrances to shops or residential premises.

4.2.        Refuse Room
The refuse rooms will have the following features in order to minimise odours, deter vermin, protect
surrounding areas, and make it a user-friendly and safe area:

•    Be insect and vermin proof.

•    Fire rated and ventilated in accordance with the National Construction Code – Building Code of Australia.

•    Doors must be wide enough to allow for the easy removal of the largest container to be stored.

•    The walls, ceilings, floors and equipment are to be designed and constructed of impervious material with
     a smooth finish to allow for easy cleaning.

•    The floors to be graded to fall to a drainage point.
