               Noosa Council requires waste management plans to be submitted for the day to day operation of      a 8
               a development (operational works), as well as for construction and demolition.                    op 2

               Council has developed a fee structure at its waste facilities, which rewards contractors who       r
               segregate building and construction waste by charging low fees for segregated materials. Much       c
               higher fees apply to unsegregated waste.                                                           oO
               The purpose of this policy is —
               a)   to ensure that as development proposals are planned and the proper consideration is given
                    to the aims of waste minimisation and waste re-use;
               b)   to encourage the segregation of waste so that the material can be recycled or reused
                    within Council's waste management process;
               c)   to provide guidance to developers, consultants and Council in the preparation and
                    assessment of Waste Management Plans;
               d)   to facilitate the efficient assessment of development applications: and
               e)   to support the application of the Waste Management Code within The Noosa Plan

              1.       What is a Waste Management Plan?
                       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 the waste will be disposed and procedures
                       for handling the waste.

               2.      When does the policy apply?

                       of a hazardous nature should have an approved waste management plan.
