Waste Management Plan

Executive Summary
This document is an Operational Waste Management Plan (OWMP) developed for a proposed mixed-use
accommodation development to be located at 3-7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads.
The purpose of the OWMP is to provide compliance and design information relating to the handling, storage,
and collection of refuse within the proposed development. Compliance relates to alignment with the
relevant sections of SC6.10 – PSP9 Waste Management of the Noosa Plan 2020. The content of the OWMP is
written with the purpose of providing a guide for the design, construction and operational phases of the
development and therefore may be updated to include detailed information as required for each phase.
