Development Control Plan No. 27

Waste Management

The purpose of this Plan is to achieve effective waste management and minimisation practices in the Marrickville local government area. This Plan applies to the Marrickville local government area.

Sydney has a waste problem. Each year, over six million tonnes of ‘waste’ are deposited into landfill sites in NSW - a practice which is not sustainable. The NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2003 aims to address this problem by promoting waste avoidance and prevention and by promoting the use of renewable and recovered materials (in preference to materials which are not renewable or recovered).

DCP 27 is effective from 2 February 1998 in accordance with the provisions of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000. Amendment No. 1 to DCP 27 (which includes a series of amendments which are included in this document) is effective from 26 May 2005.

Objectives

• to achieve waste reduction, waste separation and resource recovery in the demolition, design, construction and operation of buildings and landuse activities.
• to achieve the design of waste and recycling storage/collection systems in buildings and landuse activities which are: hygienic; accessible; safe to operate; quiet to operate; of an adequate size; and visually compatible with their surroundings.
• to reduce stormwater (and other types of) pollution that may result from the poor design of waste and recycling storage areas or from the poor management of such areas.
