EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jackson Environment and Planning Pty Ltd has been engaged by the developer Boronia Estates Pty Ltd to prepare a Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan for a proposed 289 multi-story apartment development on Lots 72 and 73, DP 208203, also referred to as 53 and 43 Cudgegong Rd, Rouse Hill. The planning and design phase of the development is being project managed by Restifa & Partners Pty Ltd.

The Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will support the Stage 1 phase for the Cudgegong development. The site is known as Cudgegong Town Centre, Stage 1. This Stage comprises four partly connected 9 level apartment buildings and two basement levels adjacent to the Cudgegong railway station currently in the construction phase. The Stage 1 development will involve a mix of high density and contemporary designed 1 bedroom (55 in total), 2 bedroom (212 in total) and 3 bedroom apartments (22 in total).

The Cudgegong Town Centre development has involved a coordinated approach to planning for new homes and essential infrastructure, to help meet local community needs between the Department of Planning and Environment and Blacktown City Council. The new revitalised community at Cudgegong Road (Area 20) will benefit from 4,400 new homes close to jobs and transport options, such as the new Cudgegong Road Station on the Sydney Metro North West Line which is due to open in 2019.

The Cudgegong Town Centre is a NSW Government Priority Growth Area and part of the North-West Priority Land Release Area. Releasing land for housing means Sydneysiders will have access to a range of homes that suit different needs, budgets and lifestyle choices. It also helps to place downward pressure on housing prices.

The Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan has been informed by the Pre-lodgement Advisory Meeting with Blacktown City Council in April 2017 and the Blacktown City Council Priority Growth Area Precincts Development Control Plan 2016. In preparing this plan, we have consulted extensively with the Waste Management Section of Blacktown City Council and authorised commercial waste collection contractors. We have also worked closely with the project architect (Turner Architects) to prepare the plan and ensure the apartment development is designed in line with best practice waste management and recycling standards.

The Site Waste Minimisation and Management includes three main components; a plan for the demolition phase; a plan for the construction phase; and a plan for the operational phase of the development.

The plan outlines best practice approaches for clearing two dwellings and a shed on the lots, maximizing recovery of materials and safely managing the potential for asbestos. Details of EPA licenced waste and recycling facilities are provided to ensure sustainable management of all materials. Estimates of vegetation and recycling of this material is also given.



Estimates of construction waste generation have been prepared, including a plan for source separation and recycling of materials. The majority of waste generated by the development is topsoil, excavated natural material, virgin excavated natural material and rock, all of which will be recycled at lawful facilities.

The plan provides estimates of the volume and weight of waste and recycling generation during the operational phase, including the requirements for storage, separation, recycling and management of mixed waste, mixed recycling, garden organics, food organics, bulky waste and electronic waste. The plan has been prepared to meet the requirements of Blacktown City Council. Waste generation estimates have been produced based on published figures in the Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015 and the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change’s Better Practice Guide for Waste Management in Multi-Unit Developments.

The plan recommends that mixed waste be disposed of efficiently through chutes installed in a waste room on each level, and be complemented by 240L bins for mixed recycling. Mixed waste will be received, compacted and stored in 660L or 1,100 L wheeled bins on a carousel within the Garbage Storage Rooms allocated on level B2. Bins will be moved to the Garbage Handling Rooms on Ground Level. Mixed recycling bins will be moved from each level on a needs basis by building management to the Garbage Handling Rooms. The Garbage Handling Rooms have been designed with accessibility for a council or commercial contractor collection via a Heavy Rigid Vehicle (10.5 m in length). Storage areas in basement level B2 have been allocated for bulky waste and e-waste storage.

The proposed Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will ensure that wastes are minimised and recycling is maximized during the demolition, construction and operational phases of the Cudgegong Town Centre Stage 1 development in line with best practice, and fully meeting all Blacktown City Council requirements.

2 BACKGROUND Jackson Environment and Planning Pty Ltd (JEP) has been engaged to prepare a Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (SWMMP) for Stage 1 of the Cudgegong Town Centre development. The SWMMP will assist with compliance of Development Application requirements. The developer of the site is Boronia Estates Pty Ltd. The design and development is being project managed by Restifa & Partners Pty Ltd.

The Cudgegong Road (Area 20) development has involved a coordinated approach to planning for new residences and essential infrastructure to help meet local community needs, between the Department of Planning and Environment NSW (DPE) and Blacktown City Council (BCC). The new revitalised community at Cudgegong Road (Area 20) will benefit from 4,400 new home/units close to jobs and transport options, such as the new Cudgegong Road Station on the Sydney Metro North West Line which is due to open in 2019.

JEP has researched a range of planning policy documents and best practice guidelines in preparing this WMMP (refer to Table 2.1).

The thrust of the SWMMP is to comply with best practice waste management, including health and safety, for residents, staff, contractors and the general public.

2.1 HISTORY & APPROVALS The Cudgegong Town Centre is a NSW Government Priority Growth Area and part of the North-West Priority Land Release Area. Releasing land for housing means Sydneysiders will have access to a range of homes that suit different needs, budgets and lifestyle choices. It also helps to place downward pressure on housing prices.

The Final Planning Package for the Cudgegong Town Centre development was approved by the Department of Planning and Environment in June 2015, which included a Finalisation Report and an Indicative Layout Plan.



The development is being undertaken under an amended State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006. Under Appendix 6, Clause 1.6 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006, Blacktown City Council is the consent authority for the development.

A Pre-Application Meeting (PAM) regarding this development was held on 4 April 2017, attended by BCC Officers, the Development Manager, Planner, architects and site owners. Notes from this meeting have been distributed to participants and have been fully addressed in preparation of the SWMMP. A table outlining how this plan complies with all of Council’s pre-lodgement requirements in shown in Table 2.2.

It is noted that the Development Control Plan relating to this development is the Blacktown City Council Priority Growth Area Precincts Development Control Plan 2016. Sections 1-6 and Schedule 4 (Cudgegong Road Station (Area 20)), including the Public Domain, Landscape and Cultural Heritage Interpretation Strategy are the key planning controls relating to this town centre development. These planning controls will also determine the minimum waste management and minimisation plans required for Stage 1 Cudgegong Town Centre Development.

As part of the planning and approvals process for this project, a site waste management plan is required to be submitted with the development application to Blacktown City Council. To meet the requirements of Blacktown City Council and to support the efficient approval of the DA for the Stage 1 development, this SWMMP complies with all Council requirements, including:

• Blacktown City Council Priority Growth Area Precincts Development Control Plan 2016; and • Blacktown City Council’s Waste Management Form (Forms 2, 3, 4 and 5).

It is noted that under Appendix F of the Blacktown City Council Priority Growth Area Precincts Development Control Plan 2016, the Waste Management Plan must be submitted in accordance with the Blacktown Development Control Plan 2006 (Part O). We note that the Blacktown Development Control Plan 2006 was updated and adopted by Council on 15 July 2015 (as Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015) and the relevant chapter is ‘Part G – Site Waste Management and Minimisation’. The SWMMP we have prepared fully complies with the requirements of the Blacktown City Council Priority Growth Area Precincts Development Control Plan 2016 and the Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015.

The Waste Management and Minimisation contains the following: • Waste Management Plan – Site preparation, development ready; • Waste Management Plan – Construction phase; and • Waste Management Plan – Operation phase, based on Multi Unit Development collection systems

provided through Blacktown City Council or authorized commercial contractors.

2.3 WASTE MANAGEMENT AND MINIMISATION PLANS A Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (SWMMP) is to be submitted with the DA. In preparing the SWMMP, we have ensured that the recommendations in the plan meet Blacktown City Council’s key objectives under the Blacktown City Council Priority Growth Area Precincts Development Control Plan 2016, including:

• To maximise opportunities for re-use through source separation and on-site storage; • To minimise waste generation and maximise re-use and recycling;



• To minimise waste generation through design, material selection and building practices; and • To ensure efficient storage and collection of waste and quality design of facilities.

2.3.1 Waste Tracking To ensure materials are handled and removed according to this SWMMP, accurate records must be maintained for:

• Identification and quantification of materials removed; and • Details of destination of materials

Relevant approvals for waste materials removed from the site during demolition and construction phases such as Asbestos, ENM and VENM are given in Section 4.3.3.

2.3.2 Waste Avoidance and Recycling Measures The principles of avoidance, reuse, recycling, recovery and treating waste have been considered in developing the Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan for the demolition, construction and operational phases of the development.

These sustainability principles are given in the waste hierarchy in the NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001 (see Figure 2.1). The waste hierarchy suggests that it is environmentally preferable to avoid / reduce waste, then consider options for re-using, recycling, recovering, treating and then recovering energy prior to disposal. Disposal of waste in landfill is the least sustainable alterative.

Figure 2.1. Waste Hierarchy – Source: NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy: 2014-2021.



The SWMMP recommends best practice signage and educational support for residents to ensure that waste generation is kept to a minimum and that recycling practices meet the requirements of BCC.

2.3.3 Monitoring and Reporting To ensure standards are maintained, a system of monitoring and reporting should be implemented. Monitoring would consist of these minimum requirements:

• Waste/recycling storage and handling areas be maintained in a clean and tidy state to ensure vectors and vermin are adequately controlled;

• Appropriate signage is installed and maintained so as to provide residents and maintenance staff appropriate guidance and standards;

• A maintenance log be established to ensure that waste/recycling equipment is kept to a high standard and is operating in a safe and efficient manner; and

• All the above be contained in a reporting system which is the responsibility of caretaker/maintenance staff. Such reports be monitored by Strata management/Body Corporate as appropriate and actions implemented to ensure objectives are met.

2.3.4 Roles and Responsibilities A caretaker/maintenance manager(s) is to be considered as part of Site management requirements. Such staff would be responsible to maintain requirements of the SWMMP and report to Strata Management. A Body Corporate Committee would monitor the SWMMP and report to Strata Management as appropriate.

3 SITE DETAILS 3.1 LOCATION The Site covers Lots 72&73 DP 208203, 53&43 Cudgegong Road, Rouse Hill NSW, 2155. The Site is a permissible development zoned B2, Local Centre and B4 Mixed Use under SEPP (SRGC) 2006 (see Figure 3.1).

3.2 SITE The Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will support the Stage 1 phase for the Cudgegong development. The site is known as Cudgegong Town Centre, Stage 1. This Stage comprises four partly connected 8-10 level apartment buildings each with two basement levels adjacent to the Cudgegong railway station currently in the construction phase. The Stage 1 development will involve a mix of high density and contemporary designed 1 bedroom (55 in total), 2 bedroom (212 in total) and 3 bedroom apartments (22 in total).

Please note that this waste management plan is specific to the development application for the Stage 1 apartment development. Once the town centre concept development is approved, the waste management plan prepared for Stage 1 could be easily adapted to accompany each subsequent stage of the project submitted for development approval.

3.2.1 Zoning The Site is Zoned B2 Local Centre and B4 Mixed Use under SEPP (SRGC) 2006.

3.2.2 Contamination Site is subject to SEPP No 55 – Remediation of Land Clause 7 ‘Contamination and remediation to be considered in determining development application.’

Lot 73 (53 Cudgegong Road) has an unoccupied dwelling and a separate shed, this Lot has various materials stored across the site which will need to be assessed for potential contaminants prior to removal and lawful disposal. Lot 72 (43 Cudgegong Road) has a well maintained occupied dwelling. All Site buildings will require demolition prior to site clearing and contain asbestos. They will need to be demolished according to BCC Demolition of Building Information Sheet and relevant Guidelines.

3.2.3 Existing Trees and Vegetation The Site is identified to be certified on the North-West Growth Centre – Biodiversity Certification Amendment No 1 Map, referred to in Clause 17 of Schedule 7 to the Threatened Species Act 1995.

Lot 73 is densely vegetated with Cumberland Plain Woodland species which will require clearing, processing and removal as mulch and woodchip. Such clearing must be performed relevant to the above certification.

3.2.4 Cut and Fill A Cut and Fill Plan will be required prior to development and was not available at time of preparation of the SWMMP. Quantities of waste from excavation have been estimated according to survey and section plans provided by architects, Turner. A more accurate assessment will need to be developed when detailed civil designs are prepared. The Construction SWMMP outlines quantities of material requiring excavation including; topsoil, Excavated Natural Material (ENM), Virgin Excavated Natural Material (VENM) and rock.

There is potential to use some materials on site, the remainder will be removed to lawful facilities.

3.2.5 Demolition of Buildings BCC’s Demolition of Buildings information sheet will be used as a guide for demolition during site preparation phase.

3.2.6 Site Conditions The Site is gently sloping and will require siltation control prior and during any demolition or excavation. The two lots are bounded by mostly degraded rural fencing.

3.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Various buildings on site are known to contain asbestos. An Asbestos Management Plan will be required prior to any demolition.

3.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The development involves erection of two apartment buildings on Lots 72 & 73 DP 208203, 53 & 43 Cudgegong Road, Rouse Hill NSW, 2155. Figure 3.2 shows the proposed layout of the buildings which are part of Stage 1 of the Cudgegong Town Centre Development.

4 PLANNING AND LEGISLATIVE GUIDANCE 4.1 BACKGROUND The BCC Growth Centre Precincts DCP (specifically Section 6.9 p150 and Appendix F) and the Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015 (BDCP), Part G, Site Waste Minimisation and Management, are the guidance documents to this Site Waste Management and Minimisation Plan. Further planning instruments are laid out in Table 6.1.

The Aims of BDCP Part G are:

• Maximise reuse and recycling of building and construction materials, household generated waste and industrial/commercial waste;

• Assist in achieving Federal and State Government waste minimisation targets; and • Help minimise the overall environmental effects of waste.1

The Objectives of this Part are to:

• Provide advice to applicants as to how to minimise waste generation and disposal, and reduce the handling of waste during demolition and construction;

• Encourage building design and construction techniques which minimise waste; • Provide advice to applicants as to how to prepare a waste management plan; and • Require source separation of materials and use of other design features which complement waste

collection management services offered by Council, private providers and other bodies.

The DCP has been prepared to meet requirements of the NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001 and the Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 2015.

The SWMMP is to be submitted prior to issuance of Development Consent. To comply with the BDCP Part G, various Performance Standards must be met, these are reproduced in Appendix 1.

4.2 PLANNING INSTRUMENTS A Pre-Application Meeting was held on 4 April 2017 and has guided the development of this SWMMP. Notes of this Meeting list the following planning instruments of relevance.

4.3 OTHER APPLICABLE LEGISLATION STRATEGIES OR GUIDES 4.3.1 NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2014–2021 The NSW Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy 2014–21 was released in December 2014. It sets clear directions for waste management in NSW and has been consulted in preparation of this SWMMP.

4.3.2 BCC Demolition of Buildings Information Sheet The BCC LEP conditionally allows small Class 10 buildings and other ‘Exempt Development’ to be demolished without any council approval. Should the proposed demolition not satisfy each and every criterion listed in the ‘Exempt Development’ provisions, a separate Development Application must be lodged with Council and consent obtained prior to the demolition works.

4.3.3 Waste Classification Guidelines Part 1 Classifying Waste NSW EPA 2014

These Guidelines will be used in preparation of an Asbestos Management Plan and classification of waste materials, in particular, ENM and VENM.

It is noted that ENM removed from the site should be pre-classified and directed to recycling facilities in compliance with the NSW EPA’s Excavated Natural Material Resource Recovery Order 2014. Virgin Excavated Natural Material should be sent to a recycling facility accompanied with an EPA VENM certificate (http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/virgin-material.htm).

4.3.4 AS 2601 – 2001 ‘The Demolition of Structures’ This Australian Standard is particularly relevant to demolition of buildings which contain asbestos.

4.3.5 WorkCover Authority of NSW All requirements of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and associated WHS Regulation and Codes of Practice must be met with all work practices structures and operations on site.

http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/virgin-material.htm



5 DEMOLITION WMMP 5.1 BACKGROUND The Site will need to be cleared in preparation for construction of Stage 1. All buildings, fences, rubbish and vegetation will be removed. Refer to BCC Demolition of Buildings Guideline2. A dam is located at 43 Cudgegong Road and will need to be drained prior to removal of clay lining which will require testing as per Section 4.3.3.

Please refer to Figure 3.1 for an aerial view of site. The following structures require demolition and are the subject of this Demolition WMP:

• Small fibro and metal roofed shed on 53 Cudgegong Rd, Rouse Hill (Figure 5.1); • Residential dwelling constructed of fibro and metal roofing on 53 Cudgegong Rd, Rouse Hill (Figure

5.2.); and • Residential dwelling constructed of brick and tiles on 43 Cudgegong Rd, Rouse Hill (Figure 5.3).

5.2 ESTIMATED WASTE QUANTITIES Table 5.1 provides an estimate of the quantities of vegetation to be cleared from the lots in preparation for construction of buildings and roadways associated with the development. Additional waste materials to be generated during demolition works have been estimated using Model Waste not DCP Chapter (2008) and Waste Planning Guide for Development Application Inner Sydney Waste Board (1998).

It is noted that whilst the footprint of the apartment buildings will be confined to on Lot 72, vegetation from lots 72 and 73 will be cleared, processed and recycled as part of the Stage 1 development works.

Note that the amount of vegetation cleared and requiring off-site recycling into mulch and compost has been estimate using the Federal Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Land Clearing – An Assessment of Biomass Diversity. This assessment is subject to variations in moisture content and extent of root mass below ground so should be used as an estimate only.

It is noted that all materials will source separated into separate large hook-lift bins on site during demolition works, and will be removed by hook-lift trucks during the demolition phase. Bins will be placed adjacent to site works to minimize waste handling. Separate bins will be provided for:

• Asbestos (will be wrapped and managed by a licensed Asbestos removal contactor); • Bricks / concrete; • Vegetation; • Metals; • Timber; and • Mixed building waste (which will be further sorted and processed at the recycling facility.

We also note that during the demolition phase, 84.5% of all waste will be recycled off-site at lawful recycling facilities as noted in Table 5.1.

5.3 REUSE Opportunity for reuse on site is limited, however, Landscape Designers intend to use cactus plants from Lot 73 in landscaping for Stage 1. There may be some opportunity to use topsoil, ENM and rock in landscaping also. The second-hand re-use market is an option for demolition materials, fittings, doors etc and should be offered by demolition contractor.

5.4 RECYCLING The bulk of material from demolition and site preparation will be sent for recycling at licensed facilities.

5.5 DISPOSAL All residual materials that are not re-used or recycled will be sent to lawful facilities for disposal.



6 CONSTRUCTION WMMP 6.1 BACKGROUND The Construction Phase will involve the erection of four interconnected apartment buildings and associated infrastructure including roads and services over Lots 72 and 73. The buildings are 8 to 10 stories containing a total of 289 apartments.

6.2 ESTIMATED WASTE QUANTITIES Quantities of waste materials are estimated using Model Waste Not DCP Chapter 2008 and Waste Planning Guide for Development Application Inner Sydney Waste Board, 1998.

We note that these waste generation estimates are approximate and will be reassessed when detailed engineering designs are prepared.

The estimated amount of waste to be generated during the construction phase of the development is given in Table 6.1.

It is noted that all materials will source separated into separate large hook-lift bins on site during construction works, and will be removed by hook-lift trucks during the construction phase. Bins will be placed adjacent to construction works to minimize waste handling. Separate bins will be provided for:

• Bricks / concrete; • Metals; • Timber; and • Mixed building waste (which will be further sorted and processed at the recycling facility.

We also note that during the construction phase, 95% of all waste will be recycled off-site at lawful recycling facilities as noted in Table 6.1.

6.3 REUSE Where possible, excess materials will be reused on site or sent to recycling facilities where reuse options will be explored prior to recycling (refer Table 6.1).

6.4 RECYCLING The bulk of excess waste material from construction will be sent for recycling at licensed facilities. It is assumed 85% of materials will be recovered at recycling facilities and 100% of VENM will be recovered which means effective recycling rate is 95% (refer Table 6.1).

6.5 DISPOSAL All residual waste materials from construction that are not re-used or recycled will be sent to lawful facilities for disposal. As above, it is assumed that only 15% of materials sent for recycling will end up as waste which will be disposed of lawfully through those sites. (refer Table 6.1).



7 OPERATION WMMP The Cudgegong Road (Area 20) development has involved a coordinated approach to planning for new residences and essential infrastructure to help meet local community needs. The new revitalised community at Cudgegong Road (Area 20) will benefit from 4,400 new home/units close to jobs and transport options, such as the new Cudgegong Road Station on the Sydney Metro North West Line which is due to open in 2019. The Site should therefore enjoy best-practice 21st century waste management.

7.1 BACKGROUND The SWMMP has been prepared to support the development application, and meets the requirements of Blacktown City Council’s performance standards as documented in the Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015 (Part G). The key performance standards that have been considered to inform the development of the Operational Waste Management Plan are given in Appendix 1.

In preparing the Operational Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, we have also considered the following in line with SWMMP aims and objectives as listed in 2.3 above:

• Requirement for multiple (2-3) recycling cupboards on each residential level; • Multiple (2-3) garbage chutes on each residential level for disposal of mixed waste; • Garbage Rooms (GBR) for compaction and storage of mixed waste from chute systems; • Garbage Handling Rooms (GBHR) in each building to allow for processing and storage of bins and

bulky wastes; • Centralised collection points for waste and recycling that comply with height, turning circle and

access requirements (grade and weight limits); • Potential for on-site composting; • Systems to support all the above which meet

o WHS; o site amenity; o and access requirements.

We have also considered collection strategies for waste and recycling during the operational phase to maximize amenity and efficiencies. This includes:

• BCC standard day labour and contracted; • A combination of BCC and contracted services; and • Contracted services.

The mix of services will be determined by economics and efficiencies of service delivery and will be influenced by:

• Availability of appropriate collection vehicles; • Frequency of service; and • Access to waste handling areas.



7.1.1 Funding Currently the NSW Government operates an incentive program for management of ‘excess resources’ under Waste Less Recycle More3 (WLRM), this program has components that may be accessed by new developments such as Cudgegong Town Centre. Opportunities for funding of infrastructure and educational/signage material could be investigated by Strata Management.

7.2 METHODOLOGY This SWMMP has been prepared using aims and objectives as stated in Section 2.3. The following waste streams have been considered (see Table 7.1). Table 7.1. Waste types generated during the operation phase which will require collection, storage and off-site recycling.

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Solid waste from households and local government operations,

including waste placed at the kerbside for local council collection. 4 Commingled recycling Recyclable materials that are generated in a typical household.

These include: paper and cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel cans and aerosols, aluminium packaging, and plastic containers. 5

Bulky waste Mattresses, furniture, whitegoods and other non-hazardous household bulky wastes not collected in kerbside containerised services.

Electronic waste (E-waste) End-of-life electronic equipment, such as televisions, computers, mobile phones, stereos and small electrical appliances (but not whitegoods).

Problem waste Problem wastes can include paint, batteries, smoke detectors, fluorescent lamps, gas bottles, motor oils and fluids, and other toxic and hazardous household products. 6

Food and Garden Organics (FOGO) Food waste and garden organics generated in residential households. (See 7.11.2)

Site building wastes Wastes generated on-site from building repairs and maintenance. As above these too will be managed through relevant contracts for site maintenance, and will not influence residential amenity nor waste management performance.

The above generated materials can be managed through a range of council or contracted services, which are outlined below. Figures 7.1 and 7.2 depict method by which waste and mixed recycling is proposed to be handled and collected.

7.3 SERVICE PROVISION – COUNCIL / CONTRACT BCC permits either council services, a combination of council and contract or fully contracted services. With Cudgegong Town Centre, determination of final service offering will be determined at a later stage, however, the advantages /disadvantages of various options are laid out below:

Waste generated by residents

Waste transferred to waste chutes

(ref Figure 7.3 & 7.4)

Waste compacted in 660L or 1100L bins in

Garbage Storage Room(ref Figure 7.1)

Waste transferred to Garbage Handling Rooms

Waste collected via council or contractor

(ref Figure 7.5)

Recyclables generated by residents

660L or 1100L bins are transferred to collection area to

be collected by council or contractor



Table 7.2. Collection options. SERVICE TYPE ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES COST IMPLICATIONS

Council collection of all waste / recycling materials

Simple and complies with BCC requirements

May not cater for bin size variation

Enables standard MUD waste charge regime and 12 Bulky Waste Collections per Unit annually built into Waste Charge

Combination of Council and Contracted Services for all waste / recycling materials

Most efficient in terms of service provision, collection frequency and bin size

May incur extra cost that must be borne by residents or Strata Management

Cost, and may not enable provision of ‘built in’ bulky waste service

Contracted services only Simple and efficient Cost May be more expensive, however, specification development will determine this. Residents would be charged Vacant Land Charge instead of standard MUD Waste Charge

Economics and practicality will be the main influences in determining the ‘mix’ of service provision and council / contract waste management fees and charges will need to be analysed, and where contracts are chosen, a tender process or similar undertaken. It is noted that where contracted services are implemented, BCC will levy their standard Vacant Land Charge for MUD’s.

Blacktown City Council have indicated that four major waste service providers offer collections in the Cudgegong Road area. Table 7.3 summarises each service provision.

7.4 BIN TYPES 7.4.1 Mixed Waste, 80L, 120L and 240L bins (or combinations) are common. With residential waste collections in NSW. With Cudgegong Town Centre, as waste will be delivered via chutes, a carousel receiving system feeding either 660L or 1100L bins is proposed. (ref Figure 7.3 & 7.4). The chute system will be maintained by the building caretakers.

7.4.2 For Recycling 240L are standard with 360L bins an option for large families. Again, at Cudgegong Town Centre, bin cupboards (2 and 3 per level) will be provided and house 2 x 240L bins), these cupboards will be serviced as required by building caretakers. Figure 7.3. Typical 240L, 660L and 1100L Bins. Source: Sulo.



7.5 COLLECTION FREQUENCY With council services, waste is collected up to 3 times weekly and recyclables once per week. Contracted services for both waste and recycling are generally as required and can be on a daily (M-F) as per Table 7.2. Collection frequencies for waste and recyclables will depend on generation rates. According to waste generation figures calculated using BDCP and BCC guidelines, generation rates and required collections are estimated according to capacity of collection vehicles, access time limits and capacity of building caretakers to manage volumes of waste/recyclables. The following total truck movements for each major waste type are estimated in Table 7.4. As indicated in 7.11, other wastes will be managed on an as needs basis with storage and handling facilities providing capacity for efficient management of such wastes. Table 7.4. Waste and recycling collection requirements.

Waste type No of collections

Fully laden waste trucks required / week 0.96

Fully laden recycling trucks required / week 0.22

Total 1.18

7.6 VEHICLES AND BIN REQUIREMENTS There are two main vehicle types for waste collection in MUD’s, Medium Rigid and Heavy Rigid. Dur to potential collection volumes, Heavy Rigid is proposed as they have significantly larger payload (and volume) capacity which will allow for greater collection and economic efficiencies.



Figure 7.4. Typical Collection Vehicle. Source: JJ Richards.

7.6.1 Grades, Travel Distance, Headroom The following grades, travel distances and headroom apply for movement of bins and waste collection vehicles under the BDCP: Table 7.5 Grades, Travel Distance, Truck Headroom.

Grades Travel distances Headroom

Bins %

240L Bins 7% <75m

1100L Bins 3% <10m

Trucks 15.4% n/a 4.5m

7.7 SIGNAGE AND EDUCATION For Residents and management to understand and comply with waste management service requirements, a range of signage and education materials will be required. The NSW EPA and BCC provide standard materials for guidance in this area and Cudgegong Town Centre will develop Site branded signage and education materials to ensure compliance and ease of use for residents.



7.8 ESTIMATED WASTE QUANTITIES Waste and recycling generation rates have been calculated using guidance from the BCC DCP and EPA Best Practice MUD Guidelines (i.e. 240L/week/unit for waste and 80L/week/unit for recycling). Please note that suggested rates vary considerably between BCC and MUD. Table 7.6 (Form 4) outlines quantities calculated as per standard council service offering. Should a combination of contract/council or fully contracted services be implemented, the mix of materials will vary according to service offering.

7.9 WASTE AVOIDANCE AND REUSE As per the BDCP aims and objectives, this SWMMP encourages best practice waste management. Avoidance and re-use opportunities will be highlighted in all communications, signage and education material. From a cost perspective, it will be beneficial to Strata management, residents and the environment alike to adhere to the waste management hierarchy where avoidance and re-use are paramount (refer Figure 2.1).

Concepts such as Repair Café’, where residents are provided with assistance to repair household equipment and tools, could also be built into educational materials. This activity and more strategies aligned to waste avoidance are being explored by a number of council groupings in Sydney such as Western Sydney Region of Councils (WSROC) and Southern Sydney Region of Councils (SSROC).

7.10 WASTE STORAGE AND HANDLING Allowance for storage and handling is provided in building design. Figures 7.3 and 7.4 show typical design of storage and handling equipment. The architect has consulted with Elephants Foot to manage waste from installed chutes. Such waste can be delivered into 240L, 660L or 1100L containers prior to transfer to Garbage Handling Rooms.

Transferring 240L bins would be manually based, transferring 660 and 1100L bins would be less than 10m (as per BCC requirements) on level services or via mechanical means for greater distances and transfer up or down slopes. Such mechanical transfers could be via motorised trolleys or a mini tractor/trailer combination similar to that provided in large supermarkets for trolley management.

7.11 OTHER WASTES A range of waste materials are generated in residential situations, waste and recycling collections have been covered above, the following typical streams are described below.

7.11.1 Paper/Cardboard/Polystyrene/Clothing Excess packaging made from cardboard and polystyrene is generated in residential situations, particularly related to purchase of new bulky equipment during moving in/out phases. This material is high quality and readily recyclable. Residents will be encouraged to keep this stream separate from their mixed recyclables and place in specialised containers provided in Garbage Rooms. Such containers (generally 1100L bulk bins) will be managed by building caretaker and serviced as required. With a development this size, options for deposit of surplus clothing could be considered along with suggested paper/cardboard/polystyrene bins. These could be provided through local charities or social enterprise.

7.11.2 Organic Wastes Organics will be recovered during mixed waste processing (UR3R – ref Appendix 2) which means Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) will be included in the mixed waste stream for this SWMMP. Should a separate FOGO collection be implemented by BCC, there will be sufficient space and handling capacity to manage this stream separately by increased frequency of collections. This system, if implemented, would result in a reduced volume of mixed waste, however, would create a third waste stream for collection and processing. Note that the bulk of GO will come from site landscaping maintenance, will be managed through relevant contracts for site maintenance, and will not influence residential amenity or waste management performance.

As mentioned previously, a method of minimising organic waste is for residents to process excess organics in worm farms and via composting. This could be done on an individual basis or through larger scale systems provided by Strata Management. Such activities will be encouraged through educational materials and perhaps by council should mixed waste not be sent to an alternative waste treatment facility such as UR3R in the future. Source separation and processing of organics leads to a high-quality recovery and processing system and the potential for use locally in community gardens and/or individual food growing activities.

7.11.3 Bulky Waste Bulky wastes are generated at varying rates dependant on demographics and types of residents, typically, bulky wastes in MUD’s are less than experienced in standard urban residential situations. Bulky waste removal is managed by BCC with residents receiving 12 collections annually as part of their waste management charge.

At Cudgegong Town Centre, bulky wastes will be managed by Strata Management on an as needs basis according to strata/lease requirements. There are areas set aside for storage of these materials in each building. Refer to Figure7.6, Garbage Handling Room (GBHR). There is a GBHR in Building 1A/1B (573 m2) and a GBHR in Building 1C/1D (255 m2).



7.11.4 Hazardous Waste BCC provides a hazardous waste service annually Chemical Clean-Out) at the Blacktown City Council Works Depot at time of preparation if this Report. Residents will need to be advised of Chemical Clean-Out days as they are advertised by council. Residents need to be made aware through educational material not to store or deposit hazardous waste in bins or storage areas but handle according to advice/procedures issued through Chemical Clean-Out promotions.

7.11.5 Electronic Waste Electronic Waste can be deposited at participating waste management centres under the National Computer and Television Recycling Scheme (NTCRS). Strata Management may choose to conduct e-waste drop of days as part of their waste management offering to residents. According to Strata Management Procedures, e-waste may be temporarily stored in Garbage Handling Rooms to facilitate collections by contractors.

7.11.6 Re-use Wastes There are opportunities to partner with organisations such as The Men’s Shed, The Bower etc. for Re-use of equipment. Residents should be encouraged through education programs to maximise re-use via on-line services and the above potential partnerships.

Further, concepts such as ‘Tool Libraries’ should be encouraged to reduce residents’ reliance on a range of household appliances which could be shared.
