Low Density Waste Management Considerations Checklist: • Where possible screen all bins from view. • Consider travel distances from dwelling to waste management area to ensure residents adhere to waste removal strategies for the site. • Council requirements must be checked to ensure bin enclosures are sized appropriately. Where bin requirements are excessive Housing Choices should be notified and alternative solutions considered, ie. Alternative waste management solution. SDA Waste Management Considerations Checklist: • During building operation, waste disposal may be managed by a variety of building users, including those with limited mobility. Therefore, the path of travel and travel distances between dwellings and waste management area should be intuitive and efficient as far as practicable. • Waste disposal facilities can be accessed from a seated (ie. wheelchair) or standing position. • Operable controls of waste facilities are located at an accessible height (900-1200mm AFFL) and are not within 500mm of an internal corner.
