Noosa Flashpackers Management and Staff will be responsible for collection and disposal of refuse to the
designated bin and recycling areas located on the site plan. All bins are to be stored and located in the bin
area.

The site manager is responsible for recycling and waste education with the objective of waste minimisation
and re-use of waste.

3.1 Waste Storage and Recycling Area

The waste storage and recycling areas are located more than 8M away from buildings and within a
screened and sealed enclosure. The bin area will be constructed in accordance with Council Planning
Scheme Policy 09 – Waste Management and includes a bunded area (no more than 100mm in height) for
bin washing, which is drained to the sewer.

The type of waste and storage required are:

             a) bins for putrescible waste;
             b) bins for recyclables;
             c)
Sufficient space will be provided between waste storage bins to allow for manoeuvring and washing of bins,
where appropriate. Access to the bin enclosure is via the lockable access gate.

 Waste Management Plan for Noosa Flashpackers at 102/106 Pacific Avenue Sunshine Beach
                         Visitor Accommodation Type 4. 2018

In accordance with the Assessment Manager Conditions, Condition 51 - 53 for this development
(2010) the following Waste Management Plan will be implemented. It is in line with Council’s
Planning Scheme Policy No.9 ‘Waste Management Multi-Dwellings and Commercial and
Industrial Premises,’ and has been designed specifically for the above combined site.

The type of waste generated is consistent with traditional household waste, although the
quantity may vary depending on the number of guests staying on any given occasion. The
number of maximum guests equates to 3 x 240ltr (102 Pacific) Council waste bins, and currently
3 x 240ltr Council waste bins (106 Pacific). Since 2010 the utilization of 3 Household waste bins
has proven to work adequately in accounting for all waste on site for the hostel. The addition of
21 guests or less than half the number of guests, 48 already approved on 102 Pacific Avenue
ensures there will be ample waste bin numbers. Similarly, the hostel has adequately used 2
recycling bins on a fortnightly pick up. The addition of a further 3 collection bins with a small
increase to guest numbers will only improve recycling efforts and management. The amount of
waste through the kitchen is already minimized with young switched on eco-friendly travelers
already into habits of reducing waste.

Different types of waste will be collected through the availability of a number of receptacles
offering Recycling waste as well as general waste. These receptacles will be available in the
dorm rooms, kitchen and dining areas as well as generally throughout the Hostel. The type of
traveler staying at this style of accommodation is usually classified as ‘green’. This will no doubt
prove valuable in the recycling efforts of the business. Signage in the communal areas as well as
in-house literature will inform visitors of the Hostels desire to be eco-friendly in many ways.
Garden refuse will be transferred by staff to the Noosa waste Recycling facility as required.

All rooms are to be serviced daily which will include emptying all rubbish bins and transferring
to the correct collection bin in the designated bin store area. Bins will be emptied curbside by
the Council Contractor on a bi-weekly (household) and fortnightly service
(paper/plastic/recyclables). This will be monitored by staff to ensure the system continues to
work effectively.

The waste storage facility will allow for all Council contractor bins to be stored inside the
designated area. This area is within the premises and has a lockable screened door for visual
amenity and ease of access to the street. The street has a ‘No Parking” strip which will be the
curbside collection point and easy for the contractor to gain accessibility. The Contractor
usually collects at this point any time after 6.30am. All dimensions of the bin storage area, bin
wash area, drain outlet to the sewer, bucket trap and nib wall are all according to council
guidelines and will meet and be approved by the Council Plumbing Department as part of the
Building certification. The location of the bin area is shown on the accompanying Plan.
