Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011<br />

OUTCOMES<br />

Domestic Waste<br />

The Strategy identifies that significant waste reduction can be achieved if domestic waste is<br />

managed appropriately. The management of domestic waste is heavily reliant on the<br />

resident and therefore education and incentive programs are important to achieving waste<br />

reduction. Some of the actions sought by the Strategy that could be relevant to the<br />

development include the provision of neighbourhood gardens within parks, education<br />

programs provided to new residents and green waste bins for a 12 month trail period.<br />

A condition has been drafted which requires the applicant to prepare a waste minimisation<br />

strategy to be developed in conjunction with the relevant <strong>Council</strong> Departments that attempts<br />

to educate future residents and provide them with opportunities to minimise waste in their<br />

neighbourhoods.<br />

Recycling in Commercial and Multi Residential Developments<br />

All commercial and multi unit residential developments are required to install recycling bins<br />

as part of their operation. <strong>Council</strong> will work with developers to determine the most mutually<br />

beneficial recycling collection arrangement.<br />

Education and incentive programs can be implemented with each subsequent commercial<br />

and multi-unit development. A provision within the Code requires each commercial and multi<br />

unit developer to prepare a waste minimisation strategy to be submitted with their Material<br />

Change of Use applications.<br />

Construction Waste<br />

The Strategy supports education and incentive programs to encourage developers to<br />

minimise the extent of construction waste going into landfills. The waste minimisation<br />

strategy to be prepared by the applicant in conjunction with <strong>Council</strong>, will be required to<br />

address education and incentive programs to reflect the outcomes sought by the strategy.<br />

The waste minimisation strategy affords <strong>Council</strong> the opportunity to work with a major<br />

developer to educate, provide initiatives and record data at the initial stage of a major<br />

development to achieve waste minimisation.<br />
