      Note * If a demolition contractor is undertaking works, then the Waste Management table is to
      be completed by the demolition contractor.
      The purpose of the Waste Management Plan is to facilitate the segregation of waste for the
      effective reuse and recycling of such materials. Additionally Council rewards those who
      segregate waste by significantly reducing disposal fees at the landfill some items are free.
      Higher gate fees are charged for loads of mixed waste.
Trade Waste
101. The drainage system from all business that are likely to discharge trade waste must comply
     with Council’s Trade Waste Policy and Sunshine Water’s guidelines for accepting trade waste
     into the sewer. All appropriate trade waste permit and/or agreements must be applied for and
     issued prior to the discharge of any trade waste to the sewer.
102. Noise emission from mechanical equipment shall comply with the following requirements:
      Air-conditioning and Refrigeration
      a.    7am to 10pm: Maximum background + 5dB(A)
      b.    10pm to 7am: Maximum background + 3dB(A)
      Pumps
      c.    7am to 7pm: Maximum background + 5dB(A)
      d.    7pm to 10pm: Maximum background + 3dB(A)
      e.    10pm to 7am: No audible noise.
103. Written certification from a suitably qualified person shall be submitted confirming that the
     noise levels from all mechanical equipment comply when measured at either the residential
     boundary or outside the most exposed part of an affected building, whichever is the closest to
     the equipment.
      The assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the equipment
      and prior to any occupation of the building, and in a format approved by Council. All
      equipment should be operating at the same time to test the overall noise level created.
      Note: It is highly recommended that the person you engage to certify the installation is
      involved at the plan development stage so they can recommend where this equipment is best
      located. They can also advise about noise enclosures and can make other suggestions to
      avoid noise problems. It is a lot more costly to try and deal with noise problems after
      everything is built.
