4 1 Introduction: 1.1 The Proposed Development The site of the proposed mixed use development is located at 671 Chapel Street, South Yarra. The proposal is for the demolition of the existing commercial building, and the development of a new mixed use development. The floor areas / number of apartments of the development relevant to this Waste Management Plan consists of: 352 apartments; Ground Floor Retail Area of 521m²; and Commercial (office) Tenancy on Ground and Level 1, with a combined floor area of 771m². A multi-level basement car parking area is also proposed. Vehicular access to the site will be via a widened access driveway located along the northern boundary of the subject site, generally running along the north side of the subject site designed to cater for two-way traffic, connected to a basement car parking area. A bin store area is also proposed within the Level Basement 1 car park, located to the west of the lift core of the building. Refer to Appendix A for a copy of the proposed floor plan used in the preparation of this Waste Management Plan. Refer to Appendix A for a copy of the Architectural Drawing reviewed as part of this assessment. 1.2 Limitations This Waste Management Plan has been prepared to accompany the Planning Permit application of the proposed development. Waste management arrangements during the construction and fit-out stages of the development, and on-going operation and monitoring of the waste management arrangements for the development following the occupation of the development are outside the scope of this Waste Management Plan. 1.3 Applicable Standards and References Relevant guidelines and publications considered as part of the preparation of this Waste Management Plan include: City of Stonnington Residential Waste Management Guidelines (As adopted by Stonnington City Council 7 May 2012) Sustainability Victoria - Guide to Best Practice for Waste Management in Multi-Unit Developments (2010) 671 Chapel Street, South Yarra Waste Management Plan /12530W Rep1B/ 11/09/2015 3

5 2 Waste, Recyclables Generation and Collection Arrangements: 2.1 Garbage Generation The City of Stonnington s Residential Waste Management Guidelines provide the waste generation rate to be adopted for residential development. The Council Guidelines refers to Sustainability Victoria s Guide to Best Practice for Waste Management in Multi-Unit Developments for guidance on waste generation rates associated with commercial land uses. The garbage generation rates for the development are outlined below: Residential: 120L/unit/week Shop: 50L/100m² floor area/day Office: 10L/100m² floor area/day Restaurant: 600L/100m² floor area/day Applying the above garbage generation rates, the garbage generation estimate for the development is outlined in Table 2.1 below. Table 2.1 Garbage Generation Use Floor Area (m2) / Number of Dwellings Garbage Generation Rate Garbage Generation (per week based on 6 working days per week for commercial uses) 2:1 compaction Residential 352 Apartments 120L/unit/week 42,240L per week 21,120L per week Dwellings Retail (Shop) 450m² 50L/100m²/day 1350L per week 675L per week Food and 300m² 600L/100m²/day 10,800L per week 5400L per week Beverage (Restaurant) Office 448m² 10L/100m²/day 268.8L per week 134.4L per week 2.2 Recycling Generation Applying a consistent approach to our assessment of the recycling generation associated with the subject development, we have also adopted the recycling generation rates outlined in the City of Stonnington s Residential Waste Management Guidelines for residential component of the development, and Sustainability Victoria s Guide to Best Practice for Waste Management in Multi-Unit Developments for commercial components of the development. The co-mingled recycling generation rates for the development are described below: Residential: 60L/unit/week Shop: 25L/100m² floor area/day Office: 10L/100m² floor area/day Restaurant: 130L/100m² floor area/day Applying the above recycling generation rates, the recycling generation estimate for the development is outlined in Table 2.2 below. 671 Chapel Street, South Yarra Waste Management Plan /12530W Rep1B/ 11/09/2015 4

It is proposed that all common area landscaping will be managed by the Owners Corporation via a landscaping contractor who will be responsible for the removal and transportation of green waste off-site; Compost: Based on the type of development proposed, composting is considered impractical due to limited onsite demand for compost; Other waste streams: The disposal of hard/electronic/liquid waste and home detox (paint/chemicals) etc. shall be organised with the assistance of a hard waste disposal contractor. 2.4 Garbage and Recycling Storage Facilities The waste management system consists of the following components: Waste receptacles for garbage and recycling within individual apartments; Tenancy receptacles at retail and commercial tenancy areas; A chute system with an "ediverter" (proprietary system developed by Elephant's Foot) or similar garbage / recycling diversion mechanical system, with intakes at each of the above ground level of the development; A waste compaction system that is fitted at the base of the chute, opening to a bin rotation system; Collection bins in a common bin store area for general garbage and co-mingled recycling bins is proposed at the Basement 1 car park. It is recommended that the following considerations be made for the designated general bin storage area: 671 Chapel Street, South Yarra Waste Management Plan /12530W Rep1B/ 11/09/2015 5

7 General Requirements: Comply with Building Code of Australia (BCA) and all relevant Australian Standards; The chute system, and associated openings on each of the floor must be designed to achieve minimum fire rating requirements of the BCA and/or Building Surveyor, and fitted with fire sprinklers and any other safety devices as required by the manufacturer, or certifier of the system; Allow storage of all waste and recycling bins on site at all times; Allow easy access for users of the bins; Allow easy, direct and convenient transfer of bins to the collection point; Artificial light shall be provided where necessary outside the bin storage area to enable occupier of the site to dispose of waste safely and appropriately at all times; The path for transferring the garbage and recycling bins from the garbage and recycling room/enclosure to the collection point shall be of adequate width, free of lips, and other obstacles and direct, smooth and without steps. Space and Facilities Requirements: Garbage and recycling facilities shall be sized to accommodate all garbage and recycling or other waste arising on the premises together with any associated equipment for handling the generated waste. The area designated for the garbage and recycling facility is based on the number of bins and the physical dimensions of the bins. The number of bins and bin sizes required for the development are outlined in Section 2.5. Bin areas must be maintained to ensure that the aesthetics of the development are not compromised; Have an appropriate clearance height to accommodate the bins, compaction system and associated bin rotation system as specified by the appointed bin chute supplier; The detailed design of the proposed chute system and any waste diversion system must be appropriately design and documented by a reputable chute manufacturer (note: chutes are proprietary items) to the manufacturer's specifications and designed in accordance with relevant Australian Standards; The chute supplier shall supply and fix safe-operating instructions to each intake-door and place a warning sign on each chute outlined. For improved safety, each chute outlet shall be shrouded with a suitable rubber skirt and designed to minimise the effect of falling waste into the associated bin (and to stop dispersion of debris). Also, access to each chute outlet shall be restricted to trained personnel only to prevent unauthorised access to chute, waste compaction equipment, and bins; Each bin must be accessible and manoeuvrable in and out of the garbage and recycling bin storage area with minimum or no handling of other bins; Signs showing correct disposal of general garbage and recycling shall be displayed within the bin storage area; and 671 Chapel Street, South Yarra Waste Management Plan /12530W Rep1B/ 11/09/2015 6

8 The floor shall be constructed of concrete, graded and drained to an approved drainage outlet connected to the sewer and shall be finished to a smooth even surface covered at the intersection of walls and plinths. Ventilation and Bin Washing Requirements: The garbage and recycling storage area shall be ventilated by: An approved system of mechanical exhaust ventilation accordance with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia and AS1668.2; or Ventilation openings should be protected against flies and vermin; For chute ventilation, a fan with riser to a rooftop exhaust, designed and documented by a Services Engineer shall be utilised; Doors shall be tight fitting; A water-flushing nozzle with accessible water cock shall be provided at the head of each chute; A graded bin wash area / a bin wash area isolated with a bund, hosecock, hose and a suitable floor-waste shall be provided in accordance with the relevant authority requirements. 2.5 Garbage and Recycling Bin Numbers, Collection Frequency and Collection Arrangement Based on the garbage and recycling generation estimates calculated in Section 2.1, it is considered that the use of 1100L bins for the storage of general waste and co-mingled recyclables will be appropriate. The bins that shall be utilised are detailed in Table 2.3. Table 2.3 Bin Details Bin (L) Height (mm) Width (mm) Depth (mm) Area (m²) Table 2.4 summarises the number and size of bins required, as well as the collection frequency and the bin storage area required. 671 Chapel Street, South Yarra Waste Management Plan /12530W Rep1B/ 11/09/2015 7

This will provide a capacity of: Garbage: 22,000L/week for Residential; 2,200L /week for Retail and Commercial; and 5,500L for Food & Beverage (Restaurant) Recycling: 22,000L/week for Residential; 1,100L / week for Retail, Commercial and Food & Beverage (Restaurant) The capacity is more than sufficient allowance for the estimated waste generation for the development calculated in Section 2.1 and 2.2. The area allocated for bin storage shown on the architectural plans is sufficient to store the required number of bins outlined above. Rear-lift waste trucks will be utilised for the collection of waste from the Level B1 loading area. The waste trucks are 6.4m long, 2.1m high, 6.4 tonnes in gross vehicle mass, and requires an operational height clearance of 2.4m when collecting 1100L bins. A swept path assessment has been prepared using the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking software and attached in Appendix B demonstrating that the nominated waste removal vehicle can access the basement loading area and operate from within the loading area without encroaching onto the access aisle of the car park. The vehicle can also enter / exit the loading area and the subject site in a forwards direction. NOTE: Bins shall not be left in a manner that blocks access to any doorways or service cupboard openings, or public roadways at any time. 671 Chapel Street, South Yarra Waste Management Plan /12530W Rep1B/ 11/09/2015 8
