129 Storage and Recycling of Waste on Development Sites

Developers will be expected to provide adequate space and facilities for the separation, storage, collection and recycling of waste within the following major developments:

  • residential developments of 100 or more dwellings;
  • development, redevelopment or refurbishment of shopping centres or other retail facilities where the floorspace of existing and new development amounts to 500 sq. m. or more;
  • development, redevelopment or refurbishment for business, industrial, distribution or storage involving a net increase in floorspace of 500 sq. m. or more; and
  • major transport, leisure, recreation, tourist or community facilities.

All major new developments and any other proposals likely to attract large numbers of people should also provide facilities for the public to recycle waste.

In considering whether a development has provided adequate space and facilities in relation to this policy the Council will have regard to the different types of waste, the space and type of facilities needed and existing provision within the locality.
