Questions

Waste Management Plan for a DA: what people ask

When does a DA need a waste management plan?

It depends on the council. Newcastle's site waste minimisation and management plan form must accompany a DA for building work, major demolition, or subdivision earthworks and land clearing.

Source: newcastle.nsw.gov.au

Is it always lodged with the DA?

No. Inner West wants its demolition and construction waste and recycling plan before a Construction Certificate is issued, and the plan must show how the project meets the NSW 80% recycling target.

What does the plan cover?

The waste your project will generate and how you intend to reuse, recycle or dispose of it. Newcastle's form is assessed against the waste controls in its DCP, together with your development plans.
