In the pursuit of improved sustainability outcomes, developers, food and beverage outlets, hospitality establishments and schools across Australia have engaged LID Consulting to prepare comprehensive towards zero waste minimisation and management plans that go beyond simpler waste management that meets Development Application / Town Planning compliance requirements. Recent projects include:
- Franklin Wharf Elizabeth St Pier in Hobart
- Cottesloe Pier in Western Australia
- French Island Eco Resort
- Ivanhoe GrammarÂ
- Mentone Grammar
- Yarra Valley Grammar
- Melbourne Skyfarm
- St Kilda Pier Kiosk Redevelopment
Clients seek these plans due to the sensitivity of their locations, strong sustainability and low waste values, ambitious council regulations, the need for differentiation from standard waste management practices, and/or constraints related to waste storage space and collection costs.
Our expertise spans operational waste systems, recycling infrastructure, and construction waste minimisation. We conduct NABERS Waste assessments for existing operations across all sectors and deliver plans that align with Green Star Buildings v1.1 waste credits (credits 2 and 4).
Whether pursuing circular economy outcomes, advanced recycling systems, organics recovery, or precinct-scale waste strategies, we tailor solutions to each project’s realities, budgets and ambitions. Our role is to identify practical opportunities that move projects towards better long-term waste and resource recovery outcomes – towards zero waste.
Many of the recommendations are achievable for most organisations with appropriate planning and commitment. Reducing packaging associated with supplied materials, product packaging stewardship, and considering recyclability when selecting products are examples of the measures that can contribute purchasing elements, a component of a realistic pathway towards zero waste outcomes.
