Appendix 8 - Waste management plan

AMENITY
Describe how noise generated from customers using bins, collection contractors emptying bins
and waste falling through and out of the bottom of refuse chute has been minimised:
The bulk bin storage area from which collection contractors will empty bulk bins has been placed at the
rear of the site, adjacent to landscape buffer and acoustic fence on the northern property boundary.
The proposed service station redevelopment will have superior screening and acoustic buffering
compared to the existing service station operations on the site.


Describe the ventilation of waste storage areas (highlight on plan drawings):
The bulk bin storage area will rely on natural ventilation.




Describe facilities for washing bins and waste storage areas (highlight on plan drawings):
The bulk bin storage and collection area as shown on the site plans includes sufficient area for wash down
where waste and recyclables bins can be washed down upon collection, when required.




Describe features for preventing ingress of vermin into waste storage areas:
The site manager will ensure the service station and bulk bin storage areas are maintained in a clean and tidy
manner. Vermin are not currently an issue for the existing operation on the site. Monitoring for vermin will
however be ongoing and treatment undertaken when necessary.



Describe measures taken to ensure waste storage areas are aesthetically consistent with the
rest of the development:
The proposed service station redevelopment has been architecturally designed to create a significantly more
aesthetically pleasing outcome than the existing site use. This includes locating the bulk bin storage areas as
far from the road frontages as possible and screening the adjacent boundaries with landscaping.


MANAGEMENT
Identify each stage of waste transfer between customers and staff and loading into the collection
vehicle and who is responsible for each transfer:
Customers and staff will deposit waste directly into the collection bins located throughout the site. The
operational and maintenance / cleaning staff will carry the individual collection bins by hand and empty
each collection bin directly into the bulk storage bins. The site manager will be responsible for
facilitating the day to day transfer of waste from the collection bins to the bulk storage bins.

Describe arrangements for clearing of waste storage areas and equipment:
The on-site operational and maintenance staff will regularly clear and clean waste storage bins and
areas to ensure a high standard of cleanliness is maintained. These processes will be managed by the
site manager.



Describe arrangements for ensuring bins are labelled and customers are aware of how to use
the waste management system correctly:
The site manager will ensure bins are clearly identified and available to customers. Staff will be instructed on
entry how to use the simple waste management system correctly.



Describe how you intend to ensure ongoing management of waste on-site (e.g. lease conditions,
caretaker/on-site manager):
The service station redevelopment will employ a site manager and other operational and maintenance staff
to undertake management and maintenance duties including on-site waste management. With regard to
waste management, the managers duties will include education of other staff on the waste disposal system,
regular emptying of collection bins into the bulk bins located in the bulk bin storage area; cleaning of bins,
garden and grounds maintenance, etc. The manager will be responsible for ensuring the site is at all times
presented to a high standard of cleanliness.
