Mandatory Local Government Waste Requirements-Site Waste Minimisation & Management Plans
Councils across Australia require a Site Waste Minimisation & Management Plan (SWMMP), also referred to as a Demolition & Construction Waste Management Plan (DCWMP) or Waste Management Plan (WMP), to accompany the majority of Development Applications when construction waste is generated. This process involves demonstrating how this waste is collected and managed onsite, and then outlines the various disposal options, depending on the waste type.
Our team offers a SWMMP preparation service which involves a strategic approach to minimising waste generation, maximising recycling, in-turn minimising disposal and waste costs, and reducing risk of Council intervention. We help your business to comply with waste management regulations, outlined in local Development Control Plans (DCPs) technical manuals and Council DA permit requirements.
