The purpose of this planning scheme policy is to—                                                  Oe
.     support the Waste Management Code within The Noosa Plan in identifying planning and          S 2
      design considerations for waste management:                                                  Y g
.     provide design criteria for waste management areas associated with development;              Ds
.     ensure safe, hygienic, convenient and environmentally sustainable waste management           S
      practices;                                                                                   &
.     encourage ongoing improvement in the proportion of waste recycled within the shire; and      &
°     provide efficient waste management practices that meet needs of occupants and                a
      contractors and minimises environmental nuisance to neighbours’.
The policy is an adjunct to existing waste management legislation, such as the Environmental
Protection (Waste Management) Regulation 2000 and the Environmental Protection (Waste
Management) Policy 2000, but does not seek to duplicate this existing legislation.
.     Storage facilities for rubbish and recycling collection is a basic and often undervalued
      element of development planning.   If waste management is considered as part of the
      planning of development, the collection and disposal of waste and recyclables can be
      undertaken conveniently and efficiently in a manner that ensures ease of access to the
      building's occupants and to the contractors that provide the collection services.  Well-
      planned facilities can also achieve quiet, efficient and near invisible management of waste
      and recyclables.  Poorly planned storage and collection areas can result in nuisance and
      irritation to occupants, neighbours and contractors for the life of the building.
1.       Definitions
         minimum service levels means the waste container volumes and the minimum frequency of
         the collection service.

         commercial waste includes but is not exclusive to waste arising from commercial, industrial,
         trade, government or educational activity.
Zi       Matters for consideration

21       Preliminary considerations prior to designing waste facilities may include—
        a)     types of waste generated from the site;
         b)    presence or absence of service staff or on site management;
         Cc)   distance waste needs to be moved to a waste storage area and/or collection area;
         d)    mechanism or pathway used to move bins to the waste storage area;
        e)     the need for a bin wash facility;
