Waste Management Guide and Development Controls for Apartments

Council has adopted the Waste Management Technical Guide and Development Controls prepared by the North Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (NSROC) for multi dwelling housing, residential flat buildings and mixed-use developments. The technical guide provides comprehensive information to achieve best practice design and construction of waste management and recycling systems. The Development Controls provide specific requirements for internal waste storage facilities, individual bin storage areas, communal bin storage areas, bin carting routes, and access for collection vehicles. All major residential developments must satisfy the relevant provisions of the Waste Management Technical Guide and comply with the specific controls for multi dwelling housing, residential flat buildings, and mixed-use buildings. The same controls also apply to apartments within shop top housing and mixed use developments.
