Operational Waste FAQ
What is an operational waste management plan?
An operational waste management plan outlines how waste and recycling will be managed once a building is occupied and operational.
When is an OWMP required?
Councils commonly require OWMPs for apartment, mixed-use, hospitality, retail, healthcare and commercial developments during planning permit assessment.
Planning for waste management helps ensure waste systems are considered early in the design of a new development, rather than becoming an afterthought. This leads to better long-term waste and recycling outcomes over the life of the building.
