1 Introduction
1.1. Background
TTM Consulting has been engaged by Integral Construction Pty Ltd on behalf of Evolution MIT Services P/L
TTE to prepare an Operational Waste Management Plan (OWMP) to support the proposed transport depot
located at 5 – 13 Production Street, Noosaville. It is understood that development application reference
MCU23/0155 has been conditionally approved by Noosa Council.
This OWMP has been prepared to satisfy the requirement of Development Permit for Material Change of
Use – Transport Depot Condition numbers 17 and 18. It is understood that this OWMP will be submitted to
council for approval.
1.2. Client Brief and Scope
The proposed development intends to adequately cater for the anticipated refuse generation volumes while
adhering to regulatory requirements. This includes adequate segregation and storage of regulated waste
streams such as used hydraulic oils and other items not suitable for landfill such as tyres.
The content of this OWMP is intended to provide information on the typical movement of waste streams
from generation to collection. Information on each refuse stream expected to be generated is provided.
The items covered within the OWMP are described in Table 1.1.

2. Regulatory Refuse Management
Requirements
This section provides the detailed refuse calculations and describes the arrangements for the collection,
storage, transfer and disposal of refuse within the development as deemed to satisfy council’s current
assessment benchmarks. This includes associated bin quantities, storage capacities, equipment details,
collection frequencies and site access details.
2.1. Regulatory and Governance Considerations
2.1.1. Council’s Refuse Planning Scheme
This plan has been prepared to align with Noosa Council’s assessable outcomes of 9.4.10 Waste
Management Code and SC6.10 – PSP9 Waste Management of the Noosa Plan 2020 as mandated by council’s
conditions of approval.
Specific design details addressed to achieve compliance with Noosa Council PSP9 Waste Management
requirements is located in Appendix A.
Table 2.1 details the conditions of approval relating to waste.
Table 2.1: Conditions of Approval
Condition
Waste Management
17. A waste storage area must be designed and maintained in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy PSP9 Waste
Management and the Noosa Plan’s Waste Management Code.
The waste storage area must be:
a. imperviously paved and correctly sized for all refuse and recycling containers;
b. bunded and graded so that wastewater and bin leakage drain to the sewer;
c. provided with a conveniently located hosecock and backflow prevention device, connected to a water
supply to service the area; and
d. roofed or otherwise covered.
18. A Waste Management Plan must be prepared that details the type and quantity of waste material that is likely to be
generated by the development; where and how the waste will be stored, disposed of and procedures for handling the
waste. The Waste Management Plan must be submitted and approved by Council prior to the issue of a Development
Permit for Operational Works.

2.2. Anticipated Refuse Volumes
Given the intended use of the site as a transport depot for electric vehicles, historical refuse generation data
based on transport depots for internal combustion engines is not considered to provide accurate estimation
for refuse produced by this site. As such, the generation rates used for the calculation of refuse produced
have been applied based on a review of information provided for a comparable existing site operated by the
proposed site operators.
While internal areas may differ between the operator’s sites, the ratio of staff members required per bus
within the fleet remains consistent. As a result, the generation rate utilised is based on the total volume of
generation from a comparable site, divided by the number of buses in the fleet to provide a generation rate
‘per bus’. TTM note the generation rate applied relates to general waste and commingled recycling only and
excludes specialist waste streams such as fluids and tyres. Further details of the specialist waste streams is
provided in Sections 2.3 – 2.5.
A collection frequency of once per week is proposed for general waste and commingled recycling is based on
a storage capacity of 7 days between services. The proposed collection frequency aligns with Council’s
Minimum Service Levels.

2.4. Refuse Disposal
The tables in this section summarise general recommended disposal arrangements for frequently generated
and infrequently generated refuse for each development component. Section 2.4.1 describes the frequently
generated and site-specific refuse streams that require capacity for storage prior to collections or specialist
handling and storage. 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 and ad hoc storage arrangements.
2.4.1. Frequently Generated Refuse
Table 2.6: Disposal of Frequently Generated Refuse
Refuse Stream Disposal Details
WASTE
General Waste Depending on the type of activities of the individual areas of the development, different wastes will be
produced. Waste bins should always be lined with bags and the bags tied before removal. The site operator
will be required to provide receptacles in a sufficient quantity to temporarily store one days’ worth of refuse in
each relevant refuse generating area of the development. After each day of operation or as required, refuse
will be transferred by staff / cleaners to the refuse enclosure and decanted into the appropriate bulk bin.
The number of and location of bins provided will be determined during tenancy fit out and careful
consideration should be given to the placement and types of bins to optimise source separation. A
commingled recycling bin should be positioned wherever a general waste bin is positioned.
Bins should be placed in office and workshop areas as well as on small bins for wastes generated on buses.
Organic (Food) Limited volumes of food waste may be generated within break areas / lunchroom from staff breaks or catered
Waste teambuilding events. While the Noosa area has limited commercial options available for food waste collection,
separating organic or food waste from general waste is recommended to reduce the total amount of general
waste produced. Separation may be considered and begin at any stage during the operational phase of the
development.
Onsite composting may be considered where appropriate staff resources are available to manage the
composting process.
Where food waste is separated, caddy bins or bins no larger than 20L should be used in high volume situations
such as communal kitchens, for disposal of food waste. The bins are then transferred to the refuse room for
collection. The content is then manually decanted into bins or composting equipment provided within the
refuse enclosure.
RECYCLING
Commingled, The site operator will be required to provide receptacles for each separate refuse stream in a sufficient
including quantity to temporarily store one days’ worth of refuse in each relevant refuse generating area of the
• glass development. After each day of operation or as required, refuse will be transferred by staff / cleaners to the
refuse enclosure and decanted into the appropriate bulk bin. Items for recycling must not be bagged and
• aluminum
disposed in loose form. This can be done by decanting the materials from the individual receptacles into the
• steel cans bulk bin.
• tins The number of and location of bins provided will be determined during tenancy fit out and careful
• cardboard consideration should be given to the placement and types of bins to optimise source separation. A
• semi rigid commingled recycling bin should be positioned wherever a general waste bin is positioned.
plastics Bins should be placed in office and workshop areas as well as on small bins for buses.
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 point. Storage space or dedicated bins within the office or break
rooms can be provided.

Table 2.7: Disposal of Specialist Waste Streams
Refuse Stream Disposal Details
REGULATED WASTE STREAMS
Tyres Tyres are a problematic waste stream, defined as a Category 2 Regulated waste stream under the
Environmental Protection Regulation 2019. Tyres must be disposed of correctly, and only to a place
appropriately licensed to receive them.
It is expected tyre waste will be generated on an ongoing ad hoc basis. Tyres will be removed by the tyre
maintenance contractor with limited storage of tyres located on-site. The tyre maintenance contractor must
provide evidence of lawful transport and disposal to the site operator as requested and this clause should
form part of any maintenance contracts.
While tyres do not have specific storage requirements on site, any interim on-site storage arrangements must
comply with the Fire and Rescue Service Act 1990 and Public Health Act 2005 to address any potential fire or
mosquito breeding risk.
Other Regulated Regulated waste must not be placed in a bin or skip for disposal to landfill. Regulated waste must be handled
Waste with due care, separated and securely stored for collection by a specialist waste contractor. Please refer to
• waste oils local and QLD government websites for further information.
• solvents When organising for the disposal of hazardous or regulated waste, site operators are responsible for
classifying it and ensuring that:
• coolant
• The transporter is appropriately licensed.
• caustic
brake fluid • The waste is being sent to a facility that can lawfully take it.
• batteries • All collection receipts are kept.
Waste Oil
All containers must be drained of all residue oil before they can be recycled. Wherever possible, waste oils
should be recycled. Waste oils should be collected in a secure, clearly labelled drums or tanks that are stored
in an undercover and bunded area.
Solvents
Solvents are hazardous to the environment and are often flammable and volatile materials. Waste solvent is
primarily generated from cleaning equipment and parts. Solvents should be stored in tightly sealed containers
in an enclosed area of cabinet. Solvents must not enter the stormwater or sewerage system and should be
collected by a designated contractor.
Coolants
Improper disposal of used coolant or refrigerant, such as air conditioning refrigerant, can result in
contamination of soils, groundwater or stormwater and is hazardous to the environment and should not be
dumped illegally any water bodies. Coolants should be stored in drums and containers on a sealed, bunded
and undercover area.
Coolants should not be mixed with any other liquid wastes and should be collected and treated separately.
Batteries
Electric vehicles (EVs) contain large and powerful batteries which pose significant hazards to those not trained
in their maintenance. All EV battery maintenance is expected to occur offsite in a facility that specialises in this
work.
A small volume of batteries may be generated from office-based electronics. Batteries are highly volatile and
must be disposed of separately and never in the general waste or commingled recycling bins.
TTM recommends a disposal point is provided by site operators and located in a suitable internal space.

2.4.2. Infrequent Waste
Table 2.8: Disposal of Infrequently Generated Waste
Refuse Stream Disposal Details
Garden Organics Garden organic refuse, also referred to as green waste will be produced from landscaped areas or potted
refuse / Green plants around this development. The volume of green waste is produced on a largely weather or seasonal
Waste dependent basis and based on plant selections. Green waste is usually removed by the designated
maintenance contractor. Interim storage is not provided.
The engaged contractor will be required to send this material to a composting or resource recovery facility
rather than to a landfill.
Hard Waste / Bulky The bulk bins provided will also be utilised for bulky waste disposal. Where items are unsuitable for bulk
Goods bin disposal or where significant volumes are generated, such as during refits or rewraps of buses,
coordinated collection arrangements will be made and goods items moved to a designated loading point
for collection.
When storing bulky goods in a loading area, it is recommended that items are placed on a pallet for
efficient loading via a pallet jack or forklift onto the RCV.
Site: 5 – 13 Production Street, Noosaville 12
Reference: 24BRW0157
Page 14
2.5. Refuse Storage Arrangements All general waste and commingled recycling will be stored within 1100L bulk bins housed inside the refuse enclosure which directly adjoins the workshop. The refuse enclosure includes a bunded washdown area for the cleaning of bins. As outlined in Table 2.9, the design of the bin washing amenity meets the criteria outlined in condition of approval 17. The refuse enclosure is sufficiently sized to accommodate 1100L bins with lifting pockets to enable service by front loading RCV providing flexibility in servicing strategy. Waste oils will be stored within 200L drums on a bunded pallet within the workshop area or equivalent bunded storage arrangement. Waste oils may be relocated within the workshop as operationally convenient through the use of a forklift or pallet jack. Figure 2.1 shows a potential layout configuration of the refuse enclosure and demonstrates an indicative location for the holding of waste oils.

Page 15
Table 2.9 outlines the refuse storage area design criteria addressed in order to minimise odours, deter vermin, protect surrounding areas, and make it a user-friendly and safe area. Table 2.9: Refuse Storage Area Design Requirements Positioning Considerations Positioned in immediate proximity of the designated loading point Is in a purpose-built storage area which is designed to be unattractive to vermin and used solely for the storage of refuse leaving the site or specifically designed for service vehicle use only. Not located adjacent to or within any habitable portion of a building or place used in connection with food preparation (including food storage). Is positioned away from entrances to shops or residential premises Is over 5m from any door, window or fresh air intake within the development or any adjoining site. Visual Amenity Considerations Is enclosed on all sides except for the access points to ensure bins are not visible from a public place, neighbouring properties, passing vehicles or pedestrian traffic external to the site. Is designed to minimise their visual impact on the surrounding areas. Functional Design Considerations Is of sufficient size to accommodate the bins with sufficient clearance around the combined bin area Access openings wide enough to allow for the easy removal of the largest container to be stored. Permits unobstructed access for removal of the containers to the service point. The height of the bin storage area allows for waste bins to be opened and closed. Does not have any steps or lips. Adequate artificial lighting. Bin Washing and Room Cleaning Considerations A hose cock fitted with backflow prevention device provided inside the enclosure or immediately adjoining for cleaning bins and the enclosures. 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 bunded and graded to fall to a drainage point. Drainage points connected to sewer in accordance with trade waste requirements. Roofed and designed to prevent entry by rainwater. Site: 5 – 13 Production Street, Noosaville 14 Reference: 24BRW0157
Page 16
2.6. Refuse Transfer Staff / cleaners will transfer all refuse generated from the various areas within the building or from refuse collected from buses to the refuse enclosure for final disposal. The collecting contractor will collect all bins directly from the refuse enclosure and manoeuvre a short distance to the RCV lifting mechanism, and return to the enclosure after service. The refuse transfer path has been designed to allow for: Refuse Transfer Path Design Requirements The bins to be transferred via hard stand pathway. Allows bins to be easily manoeuvred. Does not impede traffic flow. Does not extend through any habitable parts of a building or food premise Does not have any lips, stairs or steps for bins to be manoeuvred easily. Site: 5 – 13 Production Street, Noosaville 15 Reference: 24BRW0157
Page 17
2.7. RCV and Bin Servicing Arrangements All refuse will be collected by Private Contractor. Bins may be serviced utilising a Rear Loading RCV or, where lifting pockets are fitted to bins, by Front Loading RCV. All RCV’s will enter the site in a forward gear via the bus entry driveway on Production Street and circulate the development to the refuse enclosure. A single reverse manoeuvre may be performed to reduce the bin transfer distance. Once the collections service is complete, the contractor will return bins to the refuse enclosure. The RCV will then circulate the development and exit the site via the bus exit driveway onto Production Street in a forward gear. The site has been designed for ease of manoeuvreing of a 12.5m bus, which exceeds the expected length of the likely service vehcile. Further details and swept path analysis on vehicle access and on-site manoeuvring can be found in the traffic impact assessment report prepared by Modus Transport and Traffic Engineering document number MOD23176QLD, submitted with the development application submission. The bin servicing area has been designed with the following features: Refuse Servicing Area Design Requirements Has sufficient 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 clearly separated from car parking bays, 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. Site: 5 – 13 Production Street, Noosaville 16 Reference: 24BRW0157

3. Recommended Operational Refuse
Management
This section does not contain information relevant for regulatory assessment.
This section relates to the outcomes and waste management practices of the development during the
operational phase as recommended by TTM. It is intended for use as a live document by the occupants of
the development to assist with the ongoing management of the development.
3.1. On-going Management
The tables below relate to a cycle of ongoing implementation, operation, review and amendment of the
refuse strategy. These tables are intended to serve as a live document to be completed and updated during
the operational phase of the development and therefore intentionally left blank.
Responsibilities have to be assigned for all on-going refuse management related activities during the
operation of the development. TTM recommend the appointment of dedicated personnel to champion
refuse management and sustainability. The following lists (Table 3.1 to Table 3.3) are designed to help
manage and assign responsibilities and monitor the refuse operations. On-going management of the refuse
strategy will maintain efficient services, a safe environment and improve on sustainability outcomes.
3.1.1. Implementation Phase
Refuse management tasks during the implementation of the refuse strategy are required prior to and during
the early stages of building occupancy. An opportunity to revisit these tasks is provided at set intervals with
the review of the refuse strategy.
Table 3.1: Implementation Checklist
Task Assigned Remarks
Verify the as-built form of all refuse related areas.
This task does not refer to building certification but is
typically undertaken by a specialist waste consultant prior
to building certification. This provides an opportunity to
identify variances in building form versus design and
recommend alternate or mitigating refuse management
strategies.
This task may also be required during building refits and
change of use in tenancies.
Appoint personnel to oversee or undertake refuse
management tasks.
A facilities or operations manager is typically appointed and
overesees most operational tasks, engaging contractors for
specialist tasks.
Site: 5 – 13 Production Street, Noosaville 17
Reference: 24BRW0157
Page 19
Task Assigned Remarks Conduct internal safety review. An internal safety review is required to be undertaken to identify potential hazards in the implementation of the refuse strategy and risk mitigation opportunities. This includes the use of any refuse management equipment installed, as well as refuse transfer paths Development of policy and procedures Must be undertaken after safety review and abide by all relevant occupational health and safety legislation, regulations and guidelines to ensure site safety for visitors, staff and contractors. Also includes assessment of any manual handling risks and preparation of a manual handling control plan for waste and bin transfers. Engage refuse collection contractors. Private contractor must conduct a site visit for the purposes of risk assessing the site prior to conducting services. Contractors must ensure that a full risk assessment of equipment, surfaces and related gradients is complete and procedural documentation is provided to the appropriate personnel. Install signage in all refuse disposal and storage points. Signage is required to be installed to educate building occupants on location of disposal and refuse storage points. Additionally, to identify the accepted items disposed of in each refuse. The installed signage should be colour coded in accordance with AS 4123.7 – 2006 Mobile waste containers. Examples of signage are provided in the appendices. Education and Training. Provision of equipment manuals, induction, training, health and safety procedures, risk assessments and personal protective equipment (PPE) to all staff / contractors associated with all waste management activities in order to control hazards. The step is repeated through the operational phase of the development as required due to changes is users or personnel. Consider fit out and move-in refuse. Higher volumes of waste are generated during the initial move-in or final fit out. This typically includes large volumes of cardboard. Additional bins or collections may be required. This also applies to refits. Baseline Refuse Auditing A baseline audit once the development reaches 80% occupancy undertaken by a specialist waste consultant is recommended to identify refuse volumes and stream composition. This information is then used to establish potential recoverable material percentage based on initial waste practices and set recycling rate targets.

Page 20
3.1.2. Occupation / Operational Phase Refuse management tasks during the occupation or operational phase of the development relate to the day to day and business as usual operational tasks that must be undertaken to execute the refuse strategy. Table 3.2: Occupation / Operation Checklist Task Assigned Remarks Facilitate disposal from throughout the building and buses. Appointed staff are required to transfer refuse generated throughout the building and the buses to the refuse storage area for final disposal, this includes litter removal. General cleaning. Regular cleaning and maintenance of all refuse management facilities is important to maintain a safe and hygienic environment for visitors, staff and contractors. General cleaning is required for all refuse holding and transfer areas including • Refuse bins, rooms and storage areas • Refuse transfer areas including lifts and staircases • Any other refuse management equipment Perform spot checks on bin contents and refuse streams. Appointed staff regularly check for compliance and stream contamination. Early intervention prevents the development of poor practice and lost resources. Feedback and education is provided to the relevant parties (see below). Ongoing education and communication. On-going education is important to ensure people continue to use the facilities as originally intended and to avoid ongoing contamination of recoverable refuse streams. Appointed personnel should be actively involved in education of occupants and encouraging participation in recycling activities. Widespread communication of the achievements of the refuse strategy and areas for improvement encourage participant buy-in. Site: 5 – 13 Production Street, Noosaville 19 Reference: 24BRW0157
Page 21
3.1.3. Review and Amendment Phase The review and amendment refuse management tasks relate to tasks undertaken on a routine (e.g. quarterly, bi-annually or annually) or ad hoc basis. At the completion of the review and amendment phase, the cycle restarts with the implementation of the amended refuse strategy. Table 3.3: Review and Amendment Checklist Task Assigned Remarks Coordination of specialised cleaning contractors as required. Typical specialised cleaning services may include cleaning internal areas of compaction equipment (if selected); this reduces risk of blockage, odour and risk of fire. Maintenance and servicing of refuse management equipment as per schedule. Frequency depends on equipment, building operation and manufacturer specification. Routine maintenance reduces downtime and detrimental impact of unscheduled equipment breakdown. Coordination of specialised equipment contractors as required. May extend to ad hoc services requiring specialist equipment such as bulky / hard waste removal. Internal safety review. Routine safety reviews are required to identify changes to the site, work practices or legislation that may impact existing policies and procedures. Reviews should include visual inspection of equipment and user PPE. Any policy or procedure updates arising from a safety review must be immediately communicated. Audit operational refuse volumes and composition. As similarly undertaken at the beginning of occupancy a review by a specialist waste consultant is recommended to identify refuse volumes and stream composition. This information is then used to establish potential recoverable material percentage and identify opportunities for improvement in refuse strategy. Alternatively, an internal audit may be undertaken 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, give immediate indicative results and may be undertaken on an ongoing basis. Review bin quantities and refuse management equipment. Reviewing bin quantities and equipment is required ensure operational sustainability of refuse volumes and equipment remains fit for purpose. Consideration should be given where alternate equipment may provide improved outcomes. This review may form part of the external audit process (above) as recommendations made.

Task Assigned Remarks Review service frequency and methodology on 6 monthly intervals with collecting contractor. The service frequency and service methodology should be reviewed to ensure the optimum cost efficiency in services provided and explore options for additional services. Any potential changes to the bin numbers or bin sizes should be made in liaison with the appointed contractor to confirm cost or contract implications. Review of recycling rate target to target continual improvement. Once benchmarked performance has been assessed against the existing targeted recycling rate a new target can be established that strives for continual improvement. Any changes in targeted recycling rates and the achievements of the refuse strategy should be widely communicated to all uses. Update and amend OWMP based on review outcomes. On completion of the refuse strategy review the OWMP should be updated to reflect refuse strategy amendments and to enable implantation of refuse strategy.
