RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                       14 AUGUST 2018


              The waste management facilities should ensure recyclables bins are
              appropriately sited and accessible, and/or provided with their own waste shute,
              to ensure recyclable waste is not placed in the general waste shute.
        48.   The site must be provided with a bin wash area with a cold-water tap, hose and
              drain outlet connected to sewer, via a bucket trap. The drain outlet is to be
              designed to prevent storm water entry to the sewerage system which can be
              achieved by a bunded area, with a nib wall height of 100mm maximum, enclosing
              a wash area of 700mm x 700mm minimum (max 0.7m²). Alternatively, the waste
              area can be roofed, or any other appropriate design approved by Council.
        Building Demolition/Removal/Relocation
        49.   A Waste Management Plan (construction and demolition) must be submitted and
              approved by Council’s Environmental Health Officer prior to issue of a
              development permit for operational works for demolition, removal or relocation of
              any building other than a shed.
              The purpose of the Waste Management Plan is to facilitate the segregation of
              waste for the effective reuse and recycling of such materials. Segregated wastes
              attract significantly reduced disposal fees at the landfill with some items free.
              Higher gate fees are charged for mixed waste.
              Waste Management Plans (construction and demolition) are required to be
              submitted in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 11, Waste Management
              Plans.
              Waste storage areas must provide adequate separation of all reusable,
              recyclable and waste materials. These must be located so that they are
              convenient and safe to use.
              The Plan must contain the following information:
                  The site area for the storage and separation of waste is to be shown on the
                    plan drawings accompanying the application.
                  A waste management table as indicated below is to be completed showing
                    how waste material is to be segregated - recycled – reused or disposed.
