1. Introduction This Waste Management Plan (WMP) has been prepared on behalf of Altis Architecture Pty Ltd for the Strathfield Golf Club to accompany a Development Application for the Strathfield Golf Club development.

This Plan has been developed with reference to PART H of Strathfield Council’s Consolidated Development Control Plan 2005 “Waste Minimisation and Management Plan” (as amended in 2015), has been referred to in the development of the waste estimates and related requirements.

The project includes the construction of a new Clubhouse and associated facilities on a section of the current golf course (approximately 1km from the present clubhouse location). In relation to this waste management plan, the key components of the new development are

A Lower Ground Level with a loading dock, B.O.H, car park, golfing facilities and gym

An Upper Ground Level inhabited by the Clubhouse comprising six key functional zones including lounges, bar, restaurants, gaming, function areas, club admin and business centre.

Waste audit and management strategies are recommended for new developments to provide support for the building design and promote strong sustainability outcomes for the building. All recommended waste management plans will comply with council codes and any statutory requirements. The waste management plan has three key objectives:

1. Ensure waste is managed to reduce the amount of waste and recyclables to land fill by assisting staff and patrons of the Golf Club to segregate appropriate materials that can be recycled; displaying signage to remind and encourage recycling practices; and through placement of recycling and waste bins to reinforce these messages.

2. Recover, reuse and recycle generated waste wherever possible.

3. Compliance with all relevant codes and policies.

2. Waste Generation

2.1 Waste Streams

Based on the development profile, the following waste streams would be expected:

Cardboard recycling;

Paper recycling;

Comingled (container) recycling;

Food organics recycling; and

General waste.

Other wastes may be generated, but these would be in small volumes and irregular in terms of when

generated.

2.2 Waste Generation Estimates

Calculations for the types and quantities of waste that will be generated are based on averages for quantity of waste generated and composition as determined by industry data (ie., data/information provided by WACS’ waste audits conducted in a broad range of sectors) as well as consideration of the waste generation rates as detailed in Appendix B of Strathfield Council’s Consolidated Development Control Plan 2005 “Waste Minimisation and Management Plan”. In addition, reference has also been made to the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Model Waste Not Development Control Plan 2008, and the City of Sydney “Policy for Waste Minimisation in New Developments, 2005”.

The following tables show the estimated waste generation for the Strathfield Golf Club development. Estimates for wastes generated from the course maintenance activities have not been factored into these waste estimates.

Table 1 shows the estimated waste generated from the development – these estimates are based on averages for quantity of waste generated and composition as determined by industry data (ie., data/information provided by WACS’ waste audits conducted in a broad range of sectors) as well as consideration of waste generation rates as detailed by Strathfield Council and in the City of Sydney “Policy for Waste Minimisation in New Developments, 2005”. Management aspects have incorporated Strathfield Council guidelines.

It is estimated that the development will generate a total of 1,280 kilograms or 9,450 litres of waste and recyclables per week (this is total).

Table 1 – Waste generation estimate

kg/week L/week

Paper/Cardboard 280 2,500

Food organics 350 1,400

Co‐mingled recycling 350 2,100

General waste 300 3,450

Total 1,280 9,450

Notes:

Calculations are based on the activity levels as advised by Strathfield Golf Club

The level of activity may decline during “non‐peak” periods and increase during the other parts

of the year ‐ calculations are averages

The weights and volumes are based on correct segregation of waste and recyclables occurs

The calculations allow for the commercial collection of food organics. However, an option could

be to implement a system where there is on‐site composting.

If food organics system is not implemented, then this will be diverted to the general waste

stream

3. Waste Management Systems and Spacial Requirements

3.1 Waste Systems and Bin Requirements

The following table show the recommended systems required to manage the estimated waste profile as detailed in the above table for the development. The systems refer to the dock/basement system rather than the internal bins that may be used within the development.

The following table show the recommended systems required to manage the estimated waste profile as detailed in the above table for the development. The systems refer to the dock/basement system rather than the internal bins that may be used within the development.

While120 and 240 litre mobile garbage bins have been used for the calculations, other bins such as 660/1100 could be implemented.

Based on the estimates of waste generation and the number of bins required (with a twice/week collection schedule), as well as allowing 30% space for bin movement, the minimum size of this storage facility should be approximately 13.0m2.

3.2 Waste Storage

The following diagram illustrates the waste storage area that is located on the Lower Ground Floor.

20m3 of space has been allocated in the design of this development. Based on the calculations for bin requirements (and space for bin movement), this space allocation is sufficient for bin storage and bin washing. In addition, it has space for additional waste materials should they be generated as well as contingencies should a collection be missed.


Page | 9


Page | 10

4. Waste Management Systems The following are some of Strathfield Council’s requirements and/or what is considered industry “norms” that have been considered in the finalisation of the waste storage area1.

1. For underground collection, a waste collection point is to be provided within the first level of

the basement and vehicles must enter and exit the site in a forward direction.

2. Waste storage rooms shall be situated in a position for easy access and removal of bins and

shall be ventilated, have floor drainage, lighting and water supply.

3. Provide access to a water supply for the cleaning of bins and the waste storage area(s).

Wastewater is to be discharged to the sewer.

4. Ensure the bin transfer route to the collection point does not exceed a grade of 1:14 where

bin sizes are less than 360 litre.

5. Bins will be provided at “points of generation” to encourage Golf Club staff and patrons to

separate materials correctly. Depending on the material and quantity generated, mobile

garbage bins may be located in these areas, alternatively the contents of these bins will be

decanted into the mobile garbage bin, or bin liners removed and taken to the waste storage

area and deposited in to the correct bin.

Note also that a rear lift collection vehicle (which can service bins ranging from 120 litres to 1100 litre), is approximately 3.8 metres in height2. Therefore a height of 4.5 metres is to be provided. The Traffic Engineer has modelled this and approved the height and capacity for the vehicle to enter and exit the site.

4.1 Systems

The following summarises the recommended waste and recycling systems that will be implemented. These recommendations are based on Strathfield Council’s requirements and systems implemented for similar developments.

All Golf Club staff will be briefed on the proper use of waste management system and the recycling streams will be monitored and reported by cleaners/building management as it is imperative that the recycling stream remain free of contamination to ensure compliance with Strathfield Council’s and/or contractor collection protocols. Staff and Golf Club users will be encouraged to maximise the separation of general waste and mixed recyclables to aid the proper disposal of all materials.

Waste and recycling collection services will be provided by a commercial waste contractor (TBA). Utilising a commercial waste contractor affords the Golf Club greater flexibility regarding collection schedules and the appropriate collection frequencies will be determined in consultation with the

1 Strathfield Council’s Consolidated Development Control Plan 2005 “Waste Minimisation and Management Plan” 2 Strathfield Council’s publication states 3.6 metres in height, but this does not meet “normal” industry standard vehicles that would be used within this type of development.


Page | 11

waste contractor once appointed – at present, this is planned to be twice weekly – however once operational, collection schedules may need to be adjusted accordingly depending on actual waste generation.

Appendix A contains illustrations of bins (and other waste management equipment), that could be used within the Golf Club. The pictures provide examples of the different options for equipment such as MGB, tugs for transporting bins, trolley unit and a wheelie‐safe trolley.

Signage will be a crucial element of the waste management system. Appendix B contains examples of signage. These are the type of signs that should be used throughout the Golf Club and waste storage area. Other signs can be accessed from the NSW EPA website at: http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/wastetools/signs‐posters‐symbols.htm.

4.2 Storage

In keeping with best practice sustainability programs, all waste areas and waste and recycling bins will be clearly differentiated through appropriate signage and colour coding to Australia Standards to reflect the materials contained.

There will be a need to ensure that there is sufficient space to allow for bin movement. As a general rule, it is recommended that an additional 30%of the estimated footprint for bins be allocated to this and this has been factored into the waste storage area space calculations.

The waste areas will be accessed by the Golf Club staff and/or cleaning staff only.

The waste and recycling bins will be colour coded and clearly signed. Each stream will be located in a designated area. This will assist in easy identification of correct bins by those with authorised access.

Photographs 1 & 2 ‐ Examples of waste room colour coding

The waste and recycling storage areas will have the following features:

Wash bay facilities – there is a bin wash facility provided.

Ventilation: The bin storage rooms will be mechanically exhausted as required by AS 1668.2

Vermin Prevention:

‐ The bin storage rooms will feature tightly fitted doors


Page | 12

‐ Opening will be vermin proof

‐ Building management is to ensure that as part of the cleaning and/or waste contract, that

the waste area and equipment is cleaned on a regular basis and that the bin lids are kept

closed

‐ Cleaners and staff are to ensure that bin lids are closed when unattended

Occupational Health and Safety issues such as slippery floors in waste rooms and the weight of the waste and recycling receptacles will need to be monitored. Cleaners will monitor the bin storage area and all spills will be attended to immediately by cleaners.

The materials and finishes for the waste/recycling storage areas are as follows:

Floor Structural concrete slab with smooth epoxy topping finish with coved wall and floor junctions. Graded drains to approved sewer connections subject to final design.

Walls Masonry walls

Ceiling Structural concrete slab over

Lighting Base building lighting

Water Supply Hose cocks and hose connections which supply warm water

4.3 Organics

Organic waste will be deposited directly into 120 litre MGB at the “point of generation”. These MGB will then be transported to the storage room. This is to avoid odour generation.

4.4 Disposal of Wastes/Recyclables

The following summarises the disposal pathway for the wastes and recyclables generated once the Golf Club is operational following the development. Note though that this management summary cannot specify the actual locations until the waste/recycling contractor is appointed.

5. Waste Stream Acceptance Criteria

5.1 Acceptance Criteria

General Waste:

General waste bins will be 240L MGB’s. The lids and signage should be colour‐coded red. The general waste stream does not include hazardous material (such as batteries, fluorescent light tubes, light bulbs and/or toner cartridges), recyclable material or electronic equipment such as computers, TVs and mobile phones.

Comingled (Mixed Recycling):

The comingled recycling system will be 240L MGB’s and should accept all recyclable plastic containers, aluminium containers, glass bottles and steel cans in. Comingled recycling bin lids and signage should be colour‐coded yellow.

Paper/cardboard Recycling:

All paper and cardboard (excluding waxed cardboard) will be deposited into 240L MGB’s which have a blue bin lid and signage.

Organics Recycling:

All paper and cardboard (excluding waxed cardboard) will be deposited into 120L MGB’s which have a burgundy body and bin lid and signage

5.2 Bin Requirements

Containers located within the development for waste and recycling should be consistent. The following table outlines the colour coding that has been developed by Standards Australia.

Table 5 – Standards Australia waste/recycling container colour coding

Waste Stream Bin Body Colour Lid Colour

Paper Recycling Blue Blue

Cardboard Recycling Green Blue

Food Organics Burgundy Burgundy

Commingled Recycling Green Yellow

General Waste Green Red


Page | 15

6. Education All Gold Club and cleaning staff will receive information regarding the waste collection systems including how to use the system, which items are appropriate for each stream and collection regimes. Appropriate signage and updated information will also be provided.

All waste receptacles will be appropriately signed and additional room signage is usually provided from most waste contractors during implementation of the waste contract. Examples of signage is included in Appendix B.

It is recommended that all signs should;

Clearly identify the waste/recycling stream;

Use correct waste/recycling stream colour coding;

Identify what can and cannot be disposed of in the receptacle; and

Include highly visual elements to accommodate for individuals with inadequate English

literacy.

As part of the staff induction process, a waste and recycling toolkit will be provided. This

toolkit will include the details of each of the systems in place; acceptance criteria for each

stream and how each stream is managed.

On a monthly basis waste and recycling performance reports will be reported back to staff so that they are aware of their performance and areas for improvement. An active waste monitoring program will be employed. The waste and cleaning contracts will ensure that contractors actively participate in the waste reduction program for the site and meet monthly to identify performance and new opportunities for diversion and avoidance.


Page | 16

7. Other Systems In addition to the diversion system that will be implemented, other waste diversion and minimisation practices may also be implemented.

Fluorescent Light Tubes

A fluorescent light tube recycling stream may be required depending on the contractual arrangements for replacing light tubes. Recycling of used fluorescent light tubes could be a contractual requirement of the electrician responsible for servicing the lights. Alternatively if lights are services using in‐house staff a fluorescent light tube recycling receptacle should be located in the recycling area.

Toner Cartridges

A toner cartridge recycling bin/box should be placed in key printing areas to capture used cartridges. These can be recycled on an as‐needed basis.

E‐Waste

Electronic equipment should be recycled on an as‐needed basis.

Mobile Phones

Mobile phones can be collected in secure receptacles at centralised collection points. Alternatively, boxes containing postage satchels can be placed in centralised areas for use as needed.


Page | 17

8. Ongoing ManagementHaving suitable systems in place is only one element of an effective waste management system. Compliance by all stakeholders is essential.

Cleaners are a key element in the effectiveness of the systems in place. Prior to acceptance of the cleaning contract, the contractor will be required to demonstrate how the management of waste and recycling will be carried out so as to ensure that segregated materials are placed in the correct systems. This process will be agreed and a training program implemented by the cleaning contractor to ensure full understanding by all cleaners. Monitoring of the system will be carried out by the cleaning supervisor and site management throughout the term of the contract.

In addition, cleaners will be required to feed back to site management any non‐compliance issues they observe during their cleaning activities. This may include contamination of recycling; non‐participation in the recycling system, or missing or damaged bins. In this way issues can be promptly dealt with by management.

Waste and recycling contractors will be required to report actual volumes collected by stream so that site management can monitor performance and feed this back to stakeholders.

It is highly recommended that a basic reporting program be set up at the site which would include bin tally sheets that detail the number of bins collected and how full they are at the time of collection, in addition to communication procedures to allow waste contractors to provide feedback regarding contamination and leakage.

All staff should be educated and made aware of any changes to the existing waste systems.

If a public place recycling system was implemented it would need to be accompanied by clear signage and colour coding to help differentiate the systems. It is likely that staff would also be required to inform the public about the systems and to guide their waste disposal practices. Additionally, notices and information sheets could be placed on public notice boards informing the public of the changes at the Golf Club.


Page | 18

9. Public Place Recycling With public open spaces, consideration needs to be taken regarding public place recycling (PPR). General waste and recycling facilities will be provided in public realm areas throughout the precinct. The final number of bins will be determined in consultation with Parramatta City Council and Golf Club management.

Simple, colour‐coded and consistent representation of common recycling and waste streams makes it easier for people to know how and what to recycle ‐ whether at work, school or a public event. Introducing a public recycling system has environmental, social and financial benefits including:

Responding to community expectations to ‘Do the Right Thing’.

Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill and recovering valuable resources to be made

into new products.

Financial benefits over time as materials are diverted from landfill and into recycling.

Improving the competitive edge of the Golf Club in the eyes of users and other stakeholders.

Contributing to triple bottom line reporting.

It is important that general waste and recycling bins are always located together in order to make recycling as accessible as general waste disposal. Recycling bins should never be located on their own in isolation from a general waste bin as patrons are likely to contaminate the recycling bin with general waste if there is no other option to dispose their general waste.

The implementation of organics recycling bins is not recommended in public places due to the high levels of contamination commonly observed in such systems.

All bins should be clearly signed and appropriately colour‐coded to ensure the streams are readily identifiable. Signage for PPR should be:

Colour‐coded: red for general waste and yellow for recycling

Large and easily viewed from all angles: this may mean that signs are placed on all sides of

the bin or above the bin.

Simple: don’t use jargon (words such as PET, comingled, HDPE and even the recycling

triangle can be confusing as this symbol can appear on a number of items that are not

necessarily recyclable.

Unambiguous and uses visual imagery

All public domain waste and recycling bins will be managed and collected by the appointed waste contractor as part of their existing waste and recycling operations.

10. Construction and Demolition Estimated Waste Profile

10.1 Demolition

The testing and classification of any excavated material is not covered in this report. Where necessary separate specialist testing will be conducted by the project managers.

If acid sulphate soils are present on site, a separate management plan will need to be prepared for handling and disposal of such soil.

The following table details the estimated composition by m2 of demolition waste to be generated.

Other mixed waste 50

Concrete 50

Electrical 5

Metals 10

Plasterboard 50

Plastics 30

Timber 60

Excavated Soil (surplus to reuse on golf course) 0

Total demolition 255

Notes:

1. A detailed quantity survey has not yet been conducted and thus all estimated quantities may change and should be used as a guide only at this point. It is estimated that approximately 255 m3 of waste will be generated during the demolition/excavation phase of the development.

2. An aim of the project is that all excavated material will be reused on site, either as part of the site works associated with the new building or elsewhere on the golf course.

3. The quantities of demolition materials have been estimated using industry guides for predicting waste quantities. The figures in the table above are estimates and are used as a guide for designing the waste management systems on site. The systems that will be put in place will need to incorporate flexibility to allow for variation in the total quantities generated.


Page | 20


Page | 21

10.2 Construction

The quantity of waste materials to be generated onsite are estimates and therefore the systems that will be put in place need to incorporate flexibility to allow for variation in the total quantities generated. Active site management during the construction phase will ensure all waste/recyclable materials are disposed of appropriately and that all waste receptacles are of sufficient capacity to manage onsite activities.

Table 7 – Composition of Construction below details the estimated composition by m2 of construction waste to be generated for the total site.

11. C&D Waste Management Strategy

11.1 Waste management principles

The following waste hierarchy will be used as a guiding principle:

11.1.1 Avoid and Reduce

Minimise the production of waste materials in the construction process by:

Assessing and taking into consideration the resultant waste from different design and construction options

Purchasing materials that will result in less waste, which have minimal packaging, are pre‐cut or fabricated.

Not over ordering products and materials

11.1.2 Reuse

Ensure that where ever possible, materials are reused either on site or offsite:

Identify all waste products that can be reused

Put systems in place to separate and store reusable items

Identify the potential applications for reuse both onsite and offsite and facilitate reuse


Page | 23

11.1.3 Recycling

Identify all recyclable waste products to be produced on site:

Provide systems for separating and stockpiling of recyclables

Provide clear signage to ensure recyclable materials are separated

Process the material for recycling either onsite or offsite

Note: In some cases it may be more economical to send the unsorted waste to specialised waste contractors who will separate and recycle materials at an offsite location.

11.1.4 Disposal

Waste products which cannot be reused or recycled will be removed and disposed of. The following will need to be considered:

Ensure the chosen waste disposal contractor complies with OEH requirements

Implement regular collection of bins


Page | 24

12. Waste Management Systems

12.1 On‐site and off‐site systems

Finalisation of the system(s) that will be implemented for the recovery of materials and for disposal of others to landfill will occur following appointment of contractor(s). A component of the appointment will be that contactors will be required to provide data as to the disposal pathway (eg., materials, volumes and final disposal site), as well as a validation process for this information.

The appointed contractor(s) will also be responsible for sourcing speciality recycling facilities for the materials that cannot be reused on site.

The waste management systems proposed in the table below are as per Council requirements:

Note: The quantities of construction and demolition waste materials have been estimated using industry guides for predicting waste quantities3. The figures in Table 8 and Table 9 above are estimates and are used as a guide for designing the waste management systems on site. These figures will be adjusted according to the final building material selection and quantities. The waste management systems will be adjusted as necessary.

12.2 Waste/recyclables storage (on‐site)

All waste and recycling materials will be stored in bins provided by the appointed contractor(s). These bins will be appropriately coloured and signed to indicate what materials are to be deposited into them and located so as to maximise the recovery of reusable/recyclable materials.

3 McGregor Environmental Services (2000) Predicting C&D waste quantities in the Inner Sydney Waste Board


Page | 27

12.3 Waste/recyclables treatment (on‐site)

There will be no treatment of wastes or recyclables on‐site except for possible removal of contaminants prior to forwarding to off‐site recyclers.

12.4 Contracts and purchasing

Each sub‐contractor working on the site will be required to adhere to this Waste Management Plan.

The Head Contractor will ensure each subcontractor:

Takes practical measures to prevent waste being generated from their work

Implements procedures to ensure waste resulting from their work will be actively managed and where possible recycled, as part of the overall site recycling strategy or separately as appropriate

Ensures that the right quantities of materials are ordered, minimally packaged and where practical pre‐fabricated. Any oversupplied materials are returned to the supplier

Implements source separation of off cuts to facilitate reuse, resale or recycling.

The Site Manager will be responsible for:

Ensuring there is a secure location for on‐site storage of materials to be reused on site, and for separated materials for recycling off site.

Engaging appropriate waste and recycling contractors to remove waste and recycling materials from the site

Co‐coordinating between sub‐contractors, to maximise on site reuse of materials

Monitoring of bins on a regular basis by site supervisors to detect any contamination or leakage

Ensuring the site has clear signs directing staff to the appropriate location for recycling and stockpiling station/s. And that each bin/skip/stockpile is clearly sign posted

Proving training to all site employees and subcontractors in regards to the WMP as detailed below.

Should a sub‐contractor cause a bin to be significantly contaminated, the Site Manager will be advised by a non‐conformance report procedure. The offending sub‐contractor will then be required to take corrective action, at their own cost. The non‐conformance process would be managed by the Head Contractors’ Quality Management Systems.

12.5 Training and education

All site employees and sub‐contractors will be required to attend a site specific induction that will outline the components of the WMP and explain the site specific practicalities of the waste reduction and recycling strategies outlined in the WMP.

All employees are to have a clear understanding of which products are being reused/recycled on site and where they are stockpiled. They are also to be made aware of waste reduction efforts in regards to packaging.

The site manager will post educational signage in relation the recycling activities on site in breakout areas, lunch rooms etc.

Toolbox sessions will be used to highlight waste management issues and provide feedback on compliance.
