1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose of Waste Management Statement

This WMS is prepared to address all relevant issues associated with gaining approval for the Block 2 Frasers Broadway Project Application (PA) under Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act (EP&A Act).

Block 2 is part of the mixed-use development proposed at the Frasers Broadway site in Chippendale, Sydney NSW. The WMS identifies waste sources during demolition, construction and operation and proposes measures to manage waste in a way that satisfies all legislative requirements.

The WMS is provided in a format which can assist with the completion of a Waste Management Plan which will be required by the contractor prior to the construction of the development.

In summary the key purposes of the Waste Management Statement are to:

• Address the waste management requirements for the proposal to a standard suitable for approval under Part 3A of the EP&A Act

• Provide guidance for the project in waste minimisation from demolition and construction activities

• Increase economic feasibility of the project through effective waste separation, recycling and re-use measures

• Develop management requirements for construction and operation.

A plan detailing the basement layout and operational waste storage areas proposed is included as Appendix A.

1.2 Assumptions and Limitations

The principles outlined in this Waste Management Statement (WMS) will be incorporated into the building design and submitted with the Project Application (PA) for Block 2.

All figures and calculations are based on building layouts as contained on architectural drawings of Block 2 (Rev5). Waste generation estimations have been made using industry estimates and devised from the waste estimation tables contained within City of Sydney’s Policy for Waste Minimisation in New Developments 2005 (CoS Waste Policy).

All waste facilities and equipment are required to be designed and constructed in accordance with City of Sydney requirements in the Waste Policy, the BCA, and Australian standards.




2 Project Description 2.1 Project proposal

The Frasers Broadway project will be a sustainably designed and operated mixed use development on the site formerly occupied by the CUB Brewery at Chippendale, approximately 2 km to the south of the Sydney CBD. The site represents a significant addition to the urban environment in this location, located close by to the University of Sydney, existing residential and commercial zones, the Central Railway station and the CBD.

Block 2 is proposed as a 34 storey mixed use building. Block 2 will include 15,169m2 of retail space above a 5-level basement car park. Two towers will be built above the retail floors with 593 residential apartments (52,650m2) currently proposed.

Block 5 consists of two towers, Block 5A and Block 5B. Block 5 is predominantly residential apartments with some retail on lower ground and ground levels:

• Block 5A has 9 storeys and contains 133 apartments

• Block 5B has 19 storeys and contains 186 apartments

Block 9 is located in the south east corner of the Frasers Broadway site. It is proposed as predominantly residential building with approximately 300 residential apartments. The building consists of two sections (one at 21 storeys and one at 25 storeys) served by a common core.

This WMS applies to Block 2 only.




3 Legislative Requirements 3.1 NSW State Legislation

The Protection of the Environment Operations Act, 1997

The Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 covers the requirements for waste generators in terms of storage and correct disposal of waste and establishes the waste generator as having responsibility for the correct management of waste, including final disposal.

Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001

Due to concerns about waste management practices and increasing volumes of waste, the NSW government introduced the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001, superseding the Waste Minimisation and Management Act 1995 following its five year review.

The object of the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act is to encourage the most efficient use of resources, to reduce environmental harm, and to provide for the continual reduction in waste generation in line with the principles of ecologically sustainable development (ESD).

The Waste Management Plan relates to a new development in NSW and is written with reference to the NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2003, made under the Act.

The following hierarchy for managing waste, from most desirable to least desirable, meets the objects of the Act:

• Avoid unnecessary resource consumption;

• Recover resources (including reuse, reprocessing, recycling and energy recovery); and

• Dispose (as a last resort).

The NSW Waste Reduction and Purchasing Policy (WRAPP)

The NSW Waste Reduction and Purchasing Policy (WRAPP) requires all state government agencies and state owned corporations to develop and implement a WRAPP plan to reduce waste in four scheduled areas:

• Paper products;

• Office equipment and components;

• Vegetation material; and

• Construction and demolition materials

WRAPP is not directly applicable to the project, but has been used as a suitable guiding document for waste initiatives.

3.2 City of Sydney Council Policy

City of Sydney Council Policy for Waste Minimisation in New Developments 2005

The Council of the City of Sydney Policy for Waste Minimisation in New Developments 2005 (CoS Waste Policy) supports the Department of Environment and Conservation’s NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2003. The Waste Policy is the guiding document for many of the waste initiatives and requirements for the Frasers Broadway development.

Key requirements of the CoS Waste Policy include:




• A requirement that each floor is to have sufficient waste storage area to accommodate one day’s waste. The centralised collection area is to have sufficient storage area to accommodate all waste generated within the facility between collections

• All businesses must have written evidence, held on site, of a valid and current contract with a licensed collector for waste and recycling collection and disposal

• All businesses are encouraged to include in their waste contracts provisions that allow for the collection and recycling of significant waste streams.

Numerous other requirements are specified within the Waste Policy and have been addressed within this Waste Management Statement where required.




4 Construction Waste During construction it is anticipated that a significant volume and variety of waste will be generated. Figure 1 shows an overview of the major waste streams to be expected from the project. Those streams shaded grey will be expected to be significant in volume.

4.2 Building

The goal for building waste management is primarily the reduction of waste generated. Waste reduction is the responsibility of all on site, as it relates to materials procurement, handling, storage and use. Waste generated during construction will be reused, recycled or disposed to landfill.

4.2.1 Green Star Credit In order to qualify for the Man-7 credit under the Green Star Multi Residential rating tool (PILOT), up to two points are required to be sought To obtain these points the contractor must:

• Implement a Waste Management Plan (WMP), retain waste records and quarterly reports to the building owner; and

• A percentage (by mass) of all demolition and construction waste is reused or recycled as follows:

- One point for 60% of the waste

- Two points for 80% of the waste

4.2.2 General Waste Management Measures Waste collection during building is expected to be simpler than during demolition due to the staged nature of construction and the use of known quantities of uncontaminated materials. The majority of recyclable material that could be recovered during construction is likely to be off cuts and discards of glass, piping, timber, steel, flooring, tiles and plasterboard. Significant waste is also expected from construction packaging materials.

The main goal in construction will be to reduce the total volume of waste produced, which is to be achieved by effective materials procurement, management and supply.

Project managers, engineers, builders and subcontractors will play a key role in achieving on-site waste reduction targets on a day-to-day basis.

The following waste management measures will be implemented during construction:

• Waste that cannot be reused or recycled will be disposed in a licensed landfill

• All documentation of materials disposed, including landfill receipts, contracts and waste plans, will be kept and maintained

• Appropriate storage arrangements will be established to protect products from damage due weathering or moisture

• Prefabricated materials such as frames and trusses will be purchased where possible

• Materials will be delivered by suppliers only when needed. This reduces the opportunity for waste through error in estimates. It also permits orders to be made from on-site measurements rather than from drawings, and it provides for any modifications that the client may request

• Packaging will be minimised for materials and supplies

• Arrangements will be made with recycling contractors to provide clearly marked bins for material separation

• Sub-contractors will be made aware of the placement of the bins and their responsibility to separate materials

• Litter management will be implemented on site to reduce air borne litter and litter entering the storm water system.




5 Operational Waste 5.1 Waste Estimation

Waste volumes for Blocks 5 have been estimated in order to determine the waste storage area and waste storage bins which will be required.

All waste estimates are based on the waste generation rates for commercial (including office, retail, food outlets etc) and multi-unit residential development provided in the CoS Waste Policy. The waste storage area required is calculated based on the Plan Area Bin sizes provided in the CoS Waste Policy:

Bin Sizes

Bin Capacity (L) Plan Area Bin (m2)

240 0.43

660 0.96

1000 1.58

As shown in the tables above:

• Residential apartments in Block 2 are expected to generate a total of 7,463 L of general waste per day and 3,389 L per day of recyclables

• Non-residential uses within Block 2 consist of a large number of types and are estimated to generate 15,518 L per day of general waste and 7,809 L per day of recyclable waste.




5.2 Waste Management and Storage

The General, Space, Access and Amenity requirements detailed in Section A (All Developments) and Section D (Mixed Use Developments) in the CoS Waste Policy have been followed in determining waste management and storage requirements for Block 2. Green Star requirements on waste management and waste storage have also been addressed (see Section 5.3.5).

Waste storage has been planned so that residential waste and commercial wastes are stored separately. Also wherever possible recyclables and general waste are planned to be stored in separate rooms to ensure waste streams are not inadvertently mixed.

The location of waste storage rooms and waste chutes are highlighted on the basement plan in Appendix A.

5.2.1 Residential Waste Management The following residential waste management measures will be adopted for Block 2:

• Residential general waste and residential recyclables are all to be stored in separate rooms (Rooms 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4).

• Residential apartments each have one general waste chute. Occupants will place their general waste down these chutes enabling waste to be collected in waste storage rooms within the basement

• Occupants will place their recyclables within recycling bins provided within storage areas on each floor. These recyclables will be collected by building management and transported via lifts to basement storage

• Waste will be stored in 1,000L bins

• Storage area requirement for a 1100L hopper (equivalent to a 1000L bin) is a dedicated concrete pad 1500mm wide X 1200mm deep with a gentle (max 3%) roll out provision1

• Waste collection is assumed to be by private contractor with waste removed every day (waste storage capacity is calculated for collection once every 2 days).

5.2.2 Commercial Waste Management The following management measures for commercial waste will be adopted for Block 2:

• General waste generation will be large, requiring the use of a large single unit compactor (Room 2.5)

• Waste generated from the supermarket has not been included in waste storage requirements, waste storage will occur within the floor area designated for the supermarket

• Retail recyclables to be stored in a dedicated retail recycling waste storage room (Room 2.6)

• Waste collection is assumed to be by private contractor with waste removed every day (waste storage capacity is calculated for collection once every 2 days).

#A specialised waste compactor (19m3) can accommodate all retail general waste using a 2:1 compaction ratio

5.2.4 Waste Management Responsibility The following measures outline the responsibilities associated with waste management at the Frasers Broadway development;

• The responsibility for cleaning the waste storage area will be on the building manager

• Removal of waste from Block 2 commercial premises to the waste storage rooms is the responsibility of building management

• One general waste and one organics waste chute will be provided to both the residential towers. The location of waste chutes is at each lift core

• Recyclables are to be moved to the common basement storage via the goods lifts

• Labelling of the bins will be the responsibility of the building manager. This includes adequate signage identifying the waste and recycling area, and instructions outlining how to use the waste management system and what materials are acceptable for recycling

• Pick up of the large single unit compactor proposed for retail general waste is required by a purpose built truck, with the entire metal storage unit removed and replaced on each pick up

• Transfer of bins from the storage area to the collection truck will be carried out by the waste collection contractors. After emptying the bins the contractors will return them immediately to the waste storage room within the premises




• If truck access is limited, loading dock areas have provision for some bins to be moved here by building management (for a short period) prior to collection by waste contractors.

5.2.5 Waste Storage Design The provisions included within the Council of the City of Sydney Policy for Waste Minimisation in New Developments 2005 (Section A, All Developments - Construction) need to be followed for Waste Storage Design.

These provisions include:

• The floor of the waste storage rooms are to be constructed of concrete of at least 75mm thickness and graded and drained to the sewerage system as approved by Sydney Water Corporation. The walls of the waste storage rooms will be constructed of approved solid impervious material and shall be cement rendered internally to a smooth even surface covered at all intersections. The storage area will be constructed and finished to prevent absorption of liquids and odours, and will be easily cleanable.

• The waste storage rooms will be fitted with close fitting and self-closing doors openable from within the room. A sign will be erected in a prominent position clearly stating that the doors must be kept closed at all times when not in use.

• As food services will be present within the development, a refrigerated waste storage room will be provided.

• When metal containers are used, the storage room(s) will be fitted with a bump rail constructed of a durable impervious material, installed around and at least 50mm clear of walls, and galvanised steel protection plates will be installed around door openings.

• An artificial light source controllable from a switch located both outside and inside the room should be provided.

• The waste storage rooms will be supplied with an approved system of natural or mechanical exhaust ventilation

• The waste storage rooms will be constructed in a manner as to prevent the entry of vermin.

• Smoke detectors will be fitted in accordance with AS1670 Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm Systems and connected to the fire prevention system of the building.

• Adequate lighting will be provided to ensure safe access to the area at night.

• Signs provided on how to use the waste management system (i.e. segregation of wastes for recycling), as well as appropriate safety signage. The different recycling and waste bins will be clearly identified and signed appropriately.

• All waste management facilities will be compliant with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and all relevant Australian Standards.

In addition, the requirements for recyclables storage as specified in the Green Star rating tool/s have been addressed for the storage of waste for Block 2.

Sizing of recyclables storage for both commercial and residential has been assumed to follow the requirements in Mat 1’Recycling Waste Storage’ in the Green Star Office Design Manual (V3). The sizing of rooms has been undertaken using this tool as the Green Star Multi Unit Residential tool is still in PILOT and does not provide guidance.




5.2.6 Compactors A large single unit compactor is proposed for Block 2 commercial general waste in order to minimise storage space.

A multi-bin carousel compactor is able to be used for residential waste but is not currently proposed.

Large single unit compactor A single large unit compactor (between 19m3 and 40m3) can be used to reduce the volume of general waste requiring storage. This is particularly relevant to the commercial general waste storage room in Block 2. For this particular room a unit of 19m³ is proposed. The unit is proposed to be collected and replaced every day by a private waste contractor.

The unit would be loaded with bins placed on a lifter which empties waste into the compactor.

The compactor will be located in Room 2.5 adjoining the loading dock area as shown in the floor plan in Appendix A.

Multi-bin carousel compactor A multi-bin carousel compactor is designed to be used for residential waste arriving via a waste chute. The carousel can contain up to 8x240L bins, or lesser combinations of larger bins can be used (up to 1500L).

The floor area required for a carousel is approximately 3m by 3m, with additional space for storage of extra bins. A multi-bin compactor has not been proposed in this waste management statement due to the extra management these require, if waste compactors are chosen at a later date then adequate space is available in waste storage rooms.

5.2.7 Waste Chutes The design of the waste chutes for use in Block 2 (location indicated on basement plan in Appendix A) will be designed to the specifications included within Appendix G of the CoS Waste Policy.

The exception to this is that waste chutes will be constructed with a slight offset at its base to ensure the velocity of waste entering bins is not excessive. This contradicts measure 1.3 from Appendix G of the CoS Waste Code that states; ‘Chutes must be vertical without bends or ‘offsets’ and not be reduced in diameter’.
