Development Controls - Exhibition

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on this consultation. Minor amendments have been made to the exhibited updates proposed to the draft 2018 Waste Management update to the Development Control Plan and the draft Waste Management Guidelines following feedback received during the exhibition period. Council is scheduled to review the changes at the February 2019 Council meeting.

The draft Guideline was prepared to support the Development Control Plan 2014 and designed to aid property owners, planners, developers, event management and residents by providing a clear, step-by-step process for designing waste management systems and utilising waste services.

The objectives of the draft Waste Management Guidelines are:

• to promote waste avoidance, reuse and recycling
• to reduce the amount of waste that a development sends to landfill
• to minimise ongoing operational waste management costs to property owners, occupants and the City, and;
• to minimise developments waste management impacts on occupants and surrounding areas.

With a number of development control guidelines to support sustainable development being drafted over the coming months, register with Shape Lake Mac to stay up to date with the latest information.
