Waste Management Plan (report)

What is the waste management plan (report) in Australia?

A waste management plan is required for the proposed development to support the design during demolition, construction and service conditions, along with achieving the objectives to promote sustainable operation of the development. The development achieves the waste management objectives set out in the council codes.

What should a waste management plan include?

  • Specify who is responsible for managing waste on site.
  • Establish goals and objectives.
  • Estimate the waste types and amounts involved.
  • Describe recycling/reuse methods for each material.
  • Identify the waste recycling center.
  • Describe special measures for material use and handling.
  • Project review.

How our consulting company Loka Consulting Engineers contribute to providing comprehensive Waste Management Plan (report)?

Waste Management-Bins

At Loka Consulting Engineers we specialise in providing comprehensive waste management plan (report) for our clients tailored to meet the specific needs and challenges of our clients, covering all developments such as residential, commercial, industrial, construction, health and community projects… etc.

Central to our waste management plans are innovative solutions such as Garbage Chute Systems, which streamline waste collection processes and promote segregation at the source.

Garbage chute systems are particularly vital in high-rise buildings, enabling occupants to conveniently dispose of their waste down designated chutes that lead to collection points.

While Double Chutes enable the segregation of recyclables, organic waste, and general waste, optimising resource recovery and minimising landfill.
