21 March 2023 Our Ref: 23BRW0003 Your Ref: Attention: Kelly Alcorn Stockwell PO Box 3144 South Brisbane QLD 4101 Dear Kelly, RE: Lot 4 Noosa Business Centre, Noosaville – Childcare Waste Management TTM Consulting Pty Ltd (TTM) has been engaged to provide specialist advice for a compliant Waste Management Strategy for a proposed childcare centre to be located at Lot 4, 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville within the Noosa Business Centre. TTM have been selected to guide the applicant through the waste management aspects of the application process in light of an extensive history of work within this field throughout the greater southeast Queensland area. TTM has provided the below overview to provide transparency to the both the applicant and assessing officer to enable confidence in the recommendations provided within the Operational Waste Management Plan (OWMP) supporting the development application. Childcare centres are amongst the most difficult building types to design from a planning perspective. A range of complexities must be considered that must balance mandatory clearances per placement (regulated unencumbered indoor and outdoor space), staff to placement ratio and associated parking requirements with attaining a sufficient quantity of placements to support economic viability of the development. Additionally, most local governments specify service vehicles having forward in, forward out access to non- residential development. However, this directly conflicts with the preference of most childcare centre operators who would prefer kerbside collection is undertaken. This is to prevent risks associated with having heavy vehicles reversing while on site, given most collecting contractors are unable to commit to all services occurring outside of operating hours. As suggested in the Information Request dated 28 June 2022, TTM sought input from Noosa Council’s Waste Management experts on the proposed waste strategy for the site. Council’s officer confirmed the viability of kerbside service for the site using 240L and 360L bins at a maximum service frequency of daily for general waste and twice weekly for commingled recycling.

Section 2
TTM have audited a number of operational childcare sites to ensure accurate advice on waste management requirements is conveyed to clients. TTM conducts audits based on the maximum waste capacity of the centre – quantity of bins multiplied by the service frequency – rather than by the actual volume collected to account for variances in disposal volumes that may occur for various reasons. Furthermore, in view of different operational hours and days between centres, TTM averages audit data based on a weekly cycle of total volume generated per week and applies to centre GFA (if known) and per placement to provide either a L / 100m2 / Week or L / Placement / Week volume. TTM’s audit results find that most childcare centres fall within the refuse generation rates prescribed by City of Melbourne Council (350L / 100m2 / Week) or City of Sydney Council (325L / 100m2 / Week – 5 day operation, general waste) with maximum outlier results at 420L / 100m2 / Week which equates to a maximum 31L / Placement / Week. It is important to note that the overwhelming majority of waste generated within childcare centres occurs as a result of kitchen activities (if included) and from consumables, predominantly nappies. Given the putrescible and highly odorous nature of the waste TTM consider a minimum twice-weekly collection frequency to be mandatory in preventing detrimental effects to the amenity of the development and neighbouring properties. In detailing the waste management strategy, the OWMP will consider and reference the preceding information with specific regards to anticipated refuse generation calculations, refuse storage location, service frequency and refuse collection.

Section 9
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. Regulatory Considerations
1.3.1. Council’s Refuse Planning Scheme
The plan satisfies Noosa Council’s requirements by providing the following information:
• Type and quantity of refuse materials to be generated during the occupancy of the proposed site.
• Refuse collection, storage, transfer and disposal arrangements during occupancy of the completed development.
• Recommended operational requirements for the operational phase of the development, and design requirements for the building and refuse
management facilities.
TTM has referred to Noosa Council’s requirements as outlined in 9.4.10 Waste Management Code and SC6.10 – PSP9 Waste Management of the
Noosa Plan 2020. Table 1.2 below outlines the waste management items addressed to align with Noosa Council’s PSP requirements.

Section 14
2 Refuse Management
This section provides the detailed refuse calculations and 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 Calculations
Noosa Council does not prescribe a refuse generation rate for childcare uses. TTM audit data of operational childcare centres finds that the
average centre generates refuse in quantities consistent with City of Melbourne or City of Sydney Council’s prescribed generation rate. Given
statutory spatial clearances required for each placement, a direct correlation can be established between refuse generated by GFA or per
placement. TTM’s audit data finds on average, when broken down to a placement level each refuse is generated at 26L & 20L / Placement / Week
for general waste and combined recycling respectively.
For this development, City of Melbourne Council’s generation rates have been applied to the refuse calculations below, providing a storage
capacity of approximately 24L / Placement / Week for both general waste and combined recycling therefore providing a slightly greater total
storage capacity than TTM’s audit data would suggest is required.
It should be noted that these generation rates are not site or operator specific instead, give an estimation of potential waste generation. Once
operational, site-specific auditing will be required to establish actual refuse generation of this site and enable refinement of waste strategy and
bin numbers or collection frequency.

A storage capacity of 2 days is provided for general waste and equates to 3 collections per week on a 5-day per week operation. A Collection
frequency of 2 days per week or 4 days per fortnight has been established for commingled recycling and is consistent with Noosa Council’s
Minimum Service level for non-residential uses. Given the putrescible nature of the refuse and potential impact to surrounding amenity, TTM
considers the proposed frequency to be a suitable service frequency for this development type.
2.2. Refuse Profile
The refuse generated by childcare centres predominately originates from the kitchen and food preparation activities – if included, and from
consumables (nappies). Kitchen refuse consists largely of food organics from food scraps and food packaging, the volume of refuse generated from
consumables is variable in nature dependant on the age composition of childcare places.
The general waste generated within childcare centres consists of putrescible and highly odorous materials and is typically marginally heavier than
domestic general waste. Food organics may be separated from the general waste stream and composted on site to reduce the overall volume and
weight of general waste sent to landfill. Storing general waste in 240L bins enables ease of changes to services should Noosa Council adopt food
organics collections services or South Australian specialised nappy recycling trials prove successful and services become commonplace nationwide.
Commingled recycling comprises cardboard and other food packaging materials and to a lesser extend paper from craft activities. Depending on
chosen suppliers or quantity of placements, cardboard may be bulky and should be broken down before placing in bins to prevent overfilling bins.

Section 16
2.3. Refuse Bins and Equipment Requirements
Table 2.3 and Table 2.4 below outlines the number of bins and additional equipment required for the development. 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.

2.4. Refuse Storage
All refuse will be stored within mobile garbage bins (MGBs) supplied by council within a dedicated fully enclosed refuse room on the northern
corner of the building and positioned closest to the highest waste generating areas of the development.
The room is of a sufficient size to house all bins required in Table 2.3 with the additional equipment required in Table 2.4 stored within the
laundry/cleaners room next to the refuse room as required when not in use.
Figure 2.1 below shows a potential configuration for the refuse room. The configuration and size of the refuse enclosure is provided to ensure
the bins are accessible or easily manoeuvred and adequate clearances are maintained.
Bin washing facilities inclusive of a sewer connected drainage point will be provided within the room with rollover bunding less than 100mm high
located at the entrance of the room.

2.5. Refuse Transfer
Appointed building staff / cleaners will transfer all refuse generated within relevant areas of the centre to the refuse room as part of standard
daily operation. Refuse will then be decanted into the appropriate stream separated bulk bin.
Appointed building staff / cleaners will be responsible for the transfer of all bins requiring collection from the refuse room to the kerbside for
servicing prior to the scheduled service. After service, appointed building staff / cleaners will also be responsible for retuning all bins to the refuse
room for cleaning and everyday use. A distance of less than 50m across a relatively flat grade is required to transfer bins between the storage and
servicing location.
As required under Noosa Council’s Local Law No. 7 (Waste Management) 2018, bins will not be placed on the kerbside or beyond the boundary
of the premises for a period greater than 24 hours before or after collection.
The collecting contractor will collect bins directly from the kerbside, no transfer is required by the collecting contractor.
The refuse transfer path has been designed to allow for:
• The bins to be transferred via hard stand pathway. • Does not have any lips, stairs or steps for bins to be manoeuvred
easily.
• Allows bins to be easily manoeuvred.
• Bin washing bund designed as rollover bund to accommodate

The tables in this section summarise general recommended disposal arrangements for frequently generated and infrequently generated refuse
for each use within the development. Section 3.1.1. 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 3.1.2. 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.
3.1.1. Frequently Generated Refuse
Bins will be provided for each anticipated waste stream, a comingle recycling bin will be placed with every general waste bin, general waste bins
will not be placed individually to optimise recovery. Sufficient signage will be provided at each bin location and should be colour coded in
accordance with AS 4123.7–2006 Mobile waste containers for ease of use.
After each day of operation or as required, refuse will be transferred by designated cleaning or building staff to the refuse room and decanted
into the appropriate bulk bins. Further details are provided in Table 3.1.
Table 3.1: Disposal of Frequently Generated Refuse
Refuse Stream Disposal Details
WASTE
General Waste Common areas will utilise small receptacles placed near kitchens, activity / dining / multi-purpose areas, washrooms etc. from where staff or
cleaners will transfer material to the refuse room. Placement of bins can be identified during detailed design of the facilities and with input from
the operating entity.
Kitchen waste will be captured by bins typically ranging in size from 30 L to 90 L and will be placed within the kitchen or back-of-house area to
meet the design or layout criteria of the kitchen.
Waste bins should always be lined with bags and the bags tied before removal.
Staff / cleaners will transfer material to the refuse room, generally outside normal operating hours. All refuse should preferably be placed in
movable bins or trolleys and transferred to the waste rooms for final disposal.
Organic (Food) Waste Separating organic or food waste from general waste will to reduce the total amount of general waste produced and improve the development
recycling rate. Limited commercial organics collections options currently exist with the Noosa area however, residential style equipment such as
organic household composter or worm farms are available for use where practical and space allows. Composting may form educational activities
undertaken within the development. Refer to Appendices for options.
Green Waste Green waste will be produced from surrounding landscaped areas or potted plants on an ad-hoc and largely weather dependent basis. Green
waste will be removed by the designated landscape maintenance contractor when generated, interim storage will not been provided. The
engaged contractor will be required to send this material to a composting or resource recovery facility rather than to a landfill.

Refuse Stream Disposal Details
RECYCLING
Commercial Commingled, Recycling should be collected in dedicated receptacles to ensure separation from general waste material. Where applicable, different recyclable
including materials such as cardboard / paper, plastics and glass should be separated, especially if large quantities are produced.
• glass Dedicated receptacles should be available in kitchens and common areas if applicable. Recycling bins are to be positioned next to general waste
bins. Items for recycling must not be bagged and disposed in loose form. Recyclable materials should be carried / transported from the individual
• aluminum
receptacles within the premises to the (bulk) bin in the refuse room by staff / cleaners. This can be done by decanting the materials from the
• steel cans individual receptacles into a larger container / bin on a trolley for transport to the refuse room.
• tins Staff / cleaners will transfer material to the refuse room, generally outside normal operating hours. All refuse should preferably be placed in
• cardboard movable bins or trolleys and transferred to the waste rooms for final disposal.
• semi rigid plastics Container deposit / refund schemes are currently in place in Queensland. Various models exist including bottle return facilities and (automated)
reverse vending machines.
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. For the proposed developments, consideration
should be given to placement of a reverse vending machine on site for disposal.
3.1.2. Infrequent Waste
Table 3.2: Disposal of Infrequently Generated Waste
Refuse Stream Disposal Details
Hard Waste / Hard waste collections will be coordinated, and hard waste / bulky goods moved to a designated area for removal prior to collection. When storing bulky
Bulky Goods goods in a designated loading area, it is recommended that items are placed on a pallet for efficient loading via a pallet jack or forklift onto the RCV.
Where possible hard waste / bulky goods will be sent to a recycling facility for recovery.
Hazardous Waste Provisions have been made for the temporary storage of specialised and hazardous wastes within the tenancy in areas inaccessible to children. Please
(paints, batteries refer to local and QLD government websites for disposal options. Recycling facilities in the form of small caddy style bins or mailable boxes may be
and cartridges) positioned as appropriate for the disposal and subsequent recovery of toner cartridges and batteries.
Electronic Waste Hazardous waste must be handled with due care, separated and securely stored for collection by a specialist waste contractor. Please refer to local and
QLD government websites for further information.

3.2. On-going Management The tables below are for the demonstration of required tasks during the operational phase of the development and therefore intentionally left blank. Responsibilities have to be assigned for all on-going refuse management operations. This is generally done by a building manager, staff and / or cleaners. The following lists (Table 3.3 to Table 3.9) are designed to help managing responsibilities and monitor the refuse operations in order to maintain efficient services and a safe environment. Consideration should be given to the appointment of a ‘recycling champion’ to oversee all refuse management related activities and the implementation of recycling programs within the development. Table 3.3: General Refuse Management Checklist Objectives Checked Remarks Organising of weekly pick-ups for all refuse streams. Liaise with Noosa Council as required. Managing daily cleaning cycle and refuse transfer between refuse storage / collection areas. Check bin fill levels and rotate / swap bins as required 3.2.1. Safety Transferring refuse bins and using refuse management equipment are considered hazardous tasks. Therefore, contractors must ensure that a full risk assessment of equipment, surfaces and related gradients is complete. The contractor must provide procedural documentation to appropriate personnel prior to delivery of equipment and occupancy of the development. Table 3.4: Safety Checklist Objectives Checked Remarks Abiding by all relevant occupational health and safety legislation, regulations and guidelines to ensure site safety for visitors, staff and contractors. Assessment of any manual handling risks and preparation of a manual handling control plan for waste and bin transfers. Provision of equipment manuals, training, health and safety procedures, risk assessments and personal protective equipment to staff / contractors in order to control hazards associated with all waste management activities. Site: Lot 4, 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville Reference: 23BRW0003 21
Section 25
3.2.2. Signage
All receptacles, bins and other refuse management equipment will have adequate signage. Standard signage will be provided in and around
waste collection and storage areas and should be colour coded in accordance with AS 4123.7–2006 Mobile waste containers (see Appendix C).
Table 3.5: Signage Checklist
Objectives Checked Remarks
Ensuring compliance of signage with government local council regulations. Use signage compliant with colours as noted in AS 4123.7–2006
Mobile waste containers – Part 7: Colours, markings and
designation requirements
Ensuring that labelling on bins, refuse room etc. is appropriate and clear and easy to
read and updated if required.
3.2.3. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance of all refuse management facilities is important to maintain a safe and hygienic environment for tenants,
visitors, staff and contractors.
Table 3.6: Cleaning and Maintenance Checklist
Objectives Checked Remarks

Section 26
3.2.4. Education and Communication On-going education is important to ensure people continue to use the facilities as originally intended. If applicable, building management should be involved in education of building occupants and encouraging tenant participation in recycling activities. All leasing contracts should contain clauses pertaining to waste management arrangements and use of any associated equipment. Table 3.7: Education and Communication Checklist Objectives Checked Remarks Communication of refuse management arrangements to visitors, staff and contractors as required. Consideration of promotional opportunities for any successes e.g. awards programs. 3.2.5. Refuse Minimisation Refuse minimisation is an important part of any site operation. At a minimum, the following should be implemented. Additional refuse minimisation options can be found in Appendix B. Refuse minimisation requires regular reviewing to ensure operational sustainability of refuse volumes, equipment and economic feasibility. It is recommended that refuse weights and movements are noted and reviewed. An external review is usually conducted 12 to 18 months after the implementation of the plan. Table 3.8: Refuse Minimisation Checklist Objectives Checked Remarks Regular review of material quantities to avoid over-ordering. Consideration of secondary and recycled materials where possible. Encouraging refuse minimisation through education and signage (see below). Reduce refuse through continuous monitoring and review (see below). Consideration of onsite composting activities. May be implemented as educational activity Site: Lot 4, 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville Reference: 23BRW0003 23
Section 27
3.2.6. Monitoring and Review Regular monitoring and inspections of waste and related equipment and facilities from the development should be conducted by building management or designated staff for maintenance and sustainability. Waste composition audits are recommended on a routine (12 monthly) basis to identify potential improvements in the recycling processes taking place. Audits may be undertaken by external contractor or internally by visual inspection during on-site waste management handling activities. For example, cleaners may observe contents of waste receptacles when decanting caddies in larger bins and recording results, this method is less accurate than a comprehensive audit however, gives immediate indicative and actionable results and may be undertaken on an ongoing basis. Table 3.9: Monitoring and Review Checklist Objectives Checked Remarks Continual monitoring of equipment uses and scheduling to ensure best operational outcomes. Regular review of refuse management equipment and facilities such as bin volumes, refuse storage capacities and stormwater management arrangements.

B.2 Refuse Transfer and Disposal Methods
Method Examples Description
Manual transfer / Manual transfer is simply the process of physically carrying waste bags, food
disposal waste receptacles or recycling boxes and crates without assistance.
From a safety perspective, this is acceptable for small quantities and initial
disposal into refuse chutes, refuse compartments or, in the case of ground level
activities, directly into the refuse storage 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.

Assisted manual Assisted manual transfer includes the use of any wheeled container, wheelie bin
transfer or trolley with a capacity to carry refuse items with a combined weight of 20kg
and above. The equipment bares the weight of the material, but it still requires
physical force and or balance to move the bin or trolley.
From a safety perspective, this type of equipment should be a minimum
requirement for transfer of material greater than 20kg and when transferring
between individual levels to the refuse storage room or loading areas. Use of
enclosed or caged equipment will also eliminate ‘litter or leakage trails’ which
can occur when using open or unsealed equipment.

Systems Description
Food rescue OzHarvest and Second Bite are food rescue organisations working throughout Australia. The organisation collects surplus foods from businesses (including
Woolworths, Coles, Goodman Fielder and other smaller companies) and redistributes the foods to welfare agencies. They provide regular scheduled collections
or ad-hoc / on call collections, and they have refrigerated vehicles. Other accepted items include fresh fruit and vegetables, tinned goods, cold meats and deli
items, and readymade meals (which will only be accepted frozen).
Where food rescue organisations are available, consideration may be given to suitable space for the temporary storage of food stuffs, including dry storage and
the placement of a small fridge if cold room space is not available. There is no associated collections cost. Hence, it can be considered a zero-cost option for
disposal of what would otherwise be food waste, and it supports the community at the same time.

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. However, large bones, excessive liquids such as cooking oil or seafood shells should not be placed in the composers.

Systems Description
Food waste When considering separation of organic food waste, the handling and potential for volume reduction should also be considered.
separation As an example, the Pulpmaster system can be used to reduce the stored volume of food waste produced, and to prepare the material for re-use. Typically, the
and system is placed in proximity to sink areas in the kitchen, particularly where food preparation waste or plate scrapings can be easily disposed. This provides a
collection fully sealed transfer system for storage and collection. Pulping systems can also be placed back-of-house spaces for restaurants and cafes or placed within a
refuse room for centralisation to multiple users. Pulped food waste is pumped into holding tanks for storage and collection via a 50mm pipe and collected by a
liquid vacuum tanker.
The images below provide visual context of the connection from pulping machine to storage tank and the option for decanting 120L bins into the machine via a
bin lifter and auger feed. The tank may be up to 20m away from the pulping machine. The distance is increased when including vertical drops from upper levels
of the building. The storage tank may be up to 30m from a loading area. Collections are completed by a vacuum tanker which may range in size depending on
the size of the storage tanks and the distance of the tank from the loading area.

Waste Converting waste by reducing its volume and weight means less material to be disposed of, which results in fewer refuse collection vehicle kilometres. This
Conversion 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
Waste Various compaction equipment exists for reducing the volume of (general) waste. As a result, less bins and / or fewer bin collections and service vehicle trips
compaction are required, which helps to reduce costs and environmental impact.
Examples of typical waste compaction equipment include the following:
• Under chute compactors can be installed in developments with waste chutes. This allows to compact waste material before it is discharged from the chute
into the waste bins.
• Bin presses can be used to annually compress waste material in bins of different sizes.
• For public spaces, litter bins are available with a built-in compaction mechanism that reduces the volume of waste material in the bins. An innovative
example is the solar compactor shown below. Energy produced by a solar panel on top of the bin is used to operate a fill level sensor and automated
internal compaction mechanism, allowing up to eight times more waste to be stored in the bin before collection is required. In addition, notification about
the fill level of the bins can be sent out in order to monitor bins and manage collection frequencies.

Charity A good way of minimising waste is to reuse items that are still good to use. Several charity organisations exist that accept items such clothing, shoes, bedding,
donations 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.

Systems Description
Container deposit Container deposit / refund schemes are currently in place in several states in Australia. Various models exist including bottle return facilities and
schemes (automated) reverse vending machines.
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.

Glass crushing Bottle crushers can reduce back-of-house and refuse room storage volumes by up to 80%. The machines are quiet and efficient. The inclusion of a
glass crusher may either be designed into bar or kitchen areas, placed in back-of-house areas, or a machine may take the place of an existing
recycling bin within a refuse storage room. Scanners are also being developed for these machines for scanning of bottles prior to crushing to align
with government bottle return schemes. The images below show a typical setting of a glass crusher in a bar.
