WASTE MANAGEMENT CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Waste Management
Code is included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:

    a) The storage, disposal and management of solid and liquid waste are conducted in an safe
       and ecologically sustainable manner and without environmental nuisance;
    b) The on-site storage of waste does not create environmental nuisance or visual impact to
       adjoining property during the construction of a development; and
    c) Council and other licensed trade waste services are able to conveniently collect and dispose
       of waste generated by the development.

Comment: The proposal will comply with all applicable Specific Outcomes of the Waste Management
Code. A refuse storage area is provided in a screened hardstand waste enclosure to reduce nuisance
and aesthetic issues. Recyclable and standard waste storage will be provided to minimise waste and
support recycling. Waste is able to be conveniently serviced from the waste enclosure. Please refer to
the attached Traffic Impact Assessment prepared by Road Pro Development.

WATER SENSITIVE DESIGN CODE

A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Water Sensitive
Design Code is included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:

    a) all urban development has suitable treatment and reuse systems for all site run-off;
    b) all urban development reduces the need for mains water by utilizing run-off from appropriate
       areas for applications such as toilet flushing and garden maintenance;
    c) pipeless stormwater management systems are utilised;
    d) downstream ecosystems, properties and infrastructure are not adversely impacted by either
       quantity, levels of inundation or water quality changes caused by development; and
    e) water reuse facilities have no adverse impact on the quality of the town mains water.

Comment: The requirement for water reuse systems is no longer applicable as a result of the state
government’s repeal of laws (on 1 February 2013). Please refer to the attached Stormwater
Management Plan which demonstrates that appropriate management of stormwater quality and
quantity will be achieved by the development.

WATER SUPPLY AND SEWAGE RETICULATION CODE
The purpose of this code is to ensure:

    a) To provide water supply and sewerage reticulation infrastructure that is designed and
       constructed in a cost-effective, coordinated and efficient manner that supports ecologically
       sustainable development practices;
    b) To ensure that, where sites have access to Council’s reticulated sewerage system all
       associated infrastructure and connections are designed and constructed in accordance with
       acceptable engineering design standards; and
    c) All water supply and sewerage reticulation infrastructure designed and constructed by private
       contractors utilise systems, processes and materials that are able to be fully integrated into
       Council’s existing infrastructure.
