SC6.10 ­ PSP9               Waste Management
SC6.10.1          Purpose

(1)   The purpose of this planning scheme policy is to provide guidance to applicants on:
      (a)   the application of the Waste Management Code in the Noosa Plan;
      (b)   the preparation and assessment of waste management plans;
      (c)   design criteria for waste management including minimum service levels for types of development, size and appearance of
            waste storage areas, and vehicular access standards. associated with development;
      (d)   the provision of efficient, safe, hygienic and sustainable waste management practices that meet the needs of occupants,
            contractors and minimises environmental nuisance to neighbours; and
      (e)   the proper consideration of waste minimisation and waste separation to so that materials can be recycled and reused in
            developments.


SC6.10.2          Preparing a waste management plan

(1)   A waste management plan is a document that details the type and quantity of waste material that is likely to be generated from a
      particular development site. The document also details where and how the waste should be stored, how waste will be disposed
      and procedures for handling the waste.
(2)   A waste management plan is required where the development has the potential to generate significant quantities of waste or
      waste that is of a hazardous nature and should have a waste management plan as part of the information required to assess the
      application.
(3)   The following is a list of developments which must have a waste management plan submitted with any development application
      for a Material Change of Use (MCU):
      (a)   any Residential use with more than 15 dwellings or accommodation units;
      (b)   any Business use with a total use area greater than 500m²;
      (c)   all environmentally relevant activities (as defined by Schedule 2 of the Environment Protection Regulation 2008);
      (d)   construction or demolition of a building other than construction of a Dwelling house, or Class 10 building; and
      (e)   any other developments as specified by Council’s Waste Management Officer (identified as part of a preliminary application
            or as an information request).

(4)   Subject to the scale of the development and the discretion of the Manager Environmental Health, a waste management plan may
      be submitted as a condition of approval for a MCU, and be approved prior to the issue of a development permit – operational
      works.
(5)   Waste management plans are to be submitted for demolition works, other than for the demolition of a Class 10 building.


SC6.10.3          Information to be provided in a Waste Management Plan – Operational Works

(1)   Waste management plans are to include the following:
      (a)   estimate volumes of waste to be generated;
      (b)   estimated volumes of recyclables;
      (c)   estimated volumes of garden/organic waste;
      (d)   method to be used for disposal of garden/organic waste;
      (e)   initiatives to minimise waste by waste reduction, reuse or recycling;
      (f)   description of the procedures involved in disposing of refuse to bins, the storage of bins and the collection of bins by the

      (g)   description of the design details of waste storage and recycling areas, including the method of preventing stormwater
