Overview
‘Waste proofing’ new developments and buildings for 21st Century resource recovery.
Amanda Bombaci, WSROC and Milan Marecic, SquareLink
Details
Western Sydney is experiencing rapid growth and unprecedented construction of multi-density and residential flat buildings, and greenfield residential subdivisions. This swift transition to medium and high density living has been challenging for many councils to ensure a continuation of waste and resource recovery services.
WSROC worked with 14 councils in greater western Sydney to develop the Western Sydney Waste Planning Forum, and partnered with SquareLink to undertake a review of the councils’ Development Control Plans. The resulting document will assist councils in updating their planning polices, provide examples of good practice and improve waste management outcomes for council and the community. It will also assist the development industry by improving consistency in development controls across the region.
