3 Council Requirements

This Site Waste Minimisation and Management Plan (SWMMP) has been prepared having regard for the
specific waste management objectives in Section 24 of the Muswellbrook Development Control Plan (DCP)
2009, which are:

   •   To minimise resource requirements and construction waste through reuse and recycling and the
       efficient selection and use of resources.
   •   To encourage building designs, construction and demolition techniques in general which minimise
       waste generation.
   •   To maximise reuse and recycling of household waste and industrial/commercial waste.
   •   To assist applicants in planning for sustainable waste management, through the preparation of a
       site waste minimisation and management plan.
   •   To provide guidance in regards to space, storage, amenity and management of waste
       management facilities.
   •   To ensure waste management systems are compatible with collection services.
   •   To minimise risks associated with waste management at all stages of development.

Table 1 illustrates how this SWMMP addresses the Council controls included in Section 24 for demolition,
construction and ongoing operation.

 Dog Faecal Matter (Solid Faeces only, liquid waste will be treated in an appropriate waste treatment
 facility). This has been dealt with in a separate report.

NOTE: Combining General Waste and Recycling from veterinary clinic, offices and function areas, the
number of bins could be reduced to the following:

      •    General Waste – 240L bins x 6 or             360L bins x 4 or       660L bins x 2
      •    Recycling     – 240L bins x 4 or             360L bins x 2 or       660L bins x 2

240L bins would be the easier to manoeuvre and can be emptied into the larger bins in the central
collection point. Therefore, a total of 10 x 240L bins would be required, not including those required for the
Dog Kennels, Support Spaces, Food Preparation & Laundry.

6.3       Waste Storage

The storage of waste pending and for collection is an important part of the waste management process.
Table 5 includes details of the proposed waste storage areas relevant to each proposed use on the site.
This should be read in conjunction with the proposed site and architectural plans which will identify the
relevant storage locations, design and capacity.

6.4       On-going Waste Operations

6.4.1      Procedures
      •    Residents, staff, and cleaners will transfer their general and recycling waste to the bins located
           within the waste storage area near or within each section of the proposed development.
      •    Staff or Site Manager will transfer the bins from each section of the proposed development to the
           main collection point for emptying, separation and on collection day.
      •    The transfer of bins will be undertaken by an appropriate bin tug, tractor or trailer. Mechanical bin
           lifters will be used as required to avoid manual handling.
      •    Ensure appropriate signage is placed within waste areas to ensure waste is placed in the correct
           bins.

                                                                                                        Page 21

    •   Consider where possible receipt of products that are packaged in recyclable materials or are
        placed in recyclable containers that can be returned for reuse. This includes the use of dog
        bedding, toys and other products that are sustainable, can be reused, recycled or are
        biodegradable.

6.4.2   Hygiene and Maintenance
    •   Management shall be responsible for the maintenance of signage, the security of the waste
        storage area, and the maintenance of bins and bin lifters.
    •   An arrangement will be made with a bin cleaning contractor for regular bin cleaning. The bin
        contractor will provide a specialised filtration service to ensure pollutants are collected by the
        mobile unit and appropriately disposed in accordance with EPA Guidelines.
    •   Cleaning areas have been provided.

6.4.3   Education
    •   Training for staff in waste management and sustainable practices.
    •   Signage to ensure waste is placed in appropriate containers.
    •   Staff and site management will be supplied with a copy of this SWMMP to inform them on the
        concepts of waste minimisation and recycling.
    •   Appointed staff will monitor the waste areas and report to management on any issues that require
        rectification.

6.4.4   Waste Collection
    •   Access to the site will be provided for medium rigid waste vehicle, including ability for creek
        crossing.
    •   Commercial waste contract will be negotiated for a range of waste options – recycling, general
        waste, medical / clinical waste, and dog faeces.
    •   Appropriate turning circles for the waste vehicle will be provided to ensure the vehicle can enter
        and leave the site in a forward direction.

7 Conclusion

The proposed Farmstay facility for greyhounds provides a much needed facility for Greyhound Racing NSW
to ensure greyhounds are bred, trained, raced and rehomed in the most responsible and sustainable
manner.

This waste management plan provides sustainable waste management provisions for the proposed facility
and includes recommendations for reuse and recycling wherever possible.

Over 98% of waste during demolition and construction is proposed for recycling or reuse and the remainder
will be transferred to a recognised waste management facility.

This SWMMP has been prepared having regard to the policies of Muswellbrook Council and the NSW EPA
and will provide appropriate criteria for the management of waste on site.
