There are no specific rates for this type of facility. Estimates could be

used and as much of the waste will be able to be composted or

recycled, this would be difficult.

This area is proposed to be used in conjunction with the dog kennels

and support spaces, therefore the waste generation has been based

on the actual generation rates from an existing facility (refer below).

Dog kennels and support spaces

(dog food cans possible

recyclables, and dog food bags.

Dog Faecal Matter (Solid Faeces only, liquid waste will be treated in an appropriate waste treatment

facility). This has been dealt with in a separate report.

NOTE: Combining General Waste and Recycling from veterinary clinic, offices and function areas, the

number of bins could be reduced to the following:

• General Waste – 240L bins x 6 or 360L bins x 4 or 660L bins x 2

• Recycling – 240L bins x 4 or 360L bins x 2 or 660L bins x 2

240L bins would be the easier to manoeuvre and can be emptied into the larger bins in the central

collection point. Therefore, a total of 10 x 240L bins would be required, not including those required for the

Dog Kennels, Support Spaces, Food Preparation & Laundry.

6.3 Waste Storage

The storage of waste pending and for collection is an important part of the waste management process.

Table 5 includes details of the proposed waste storage areas relevant to each proposed use on the site.

This should be read in conjunction with the proposed site and architectural plans which will identify the

relevant storage locations, design and capacity.

Table 6: Proposed Waste Storage Details

Waste Storage Areas

Residential houses /

dwellings x 2

• Each dwelling will include an internal waste bin, which will be

emptied by occupants into a combined waste bin.

• Waste storage areas for recycling and general waste will be located

close to the two dwellings near the car spaces.


Waste Storage Areas

Function Centre / Event

Areas

• Each space will include internal waste bins which will be emptied by

staff or cleaners into combined waste bins.

• Medical waste will be stored in appropriate locations and secured as

required.

• Food waste will be stored in refrigerated areas until collection day to

reduce odour.

• A central external waste area will be located for these facilities.

Veterinary Clinic

Offices

Dog Kennels, Support

Spaces, Food Preparation &

Laundry

• Each space will include internal waste bins which will be emptied by

staff or cleaners into combined waste bins.

• Food waste will be stored in refrigerated areas until collection day to

reduce odour.

• A central external waste area will be located for these facilities.

• A central composting area will be provided for the site.

Landscaping and Open

Space Areas

• A composting and/or worm farm area should be provided for the

household, food waste and garden / landscaping waste.

Dog Faecal Matter Refer to separate report.

Central Storage / Collection

area

• The central / storage area for bins will be large enough to cater for all

the bins for the site for collection.

• The storage area is wide enough for bins to move passed each other

while leaving enough space for human passage between passing

bins.

• The area provides sufficient overhead clearance, for bin lifters to

transfer waste to collection point.

General Waste Storage

area requirements

• The waste storage areas on the site will need to be screened

appropriately, particularly those set away from buildings to reduce

the visual impacts.

• The waste areas where possible will have access to water for

cleaning bins and storage areas.

• Ensure waste areas are appropriately bunded so that any

contaminated waste does not leach into soil or contaminate areas

on the site.

Recycling areas

• Recycling areas will provide for separation of waste for the

commercial parts of the development. This will include containers

(bottles, cans etc.), card board, and paper.

• Use of recyclable containers that can be commercially recycled or

returned to provider for reuse.

6.4 On-going Waste Operations

6.4.1 Procedures

• Residents, staff, and cleaners will transfer their general and recycling waste to the bins located

within the waste storage area near or within each section of the proposed development.

• Staff or Site Manager will transfer the bins from each section of the proposed development to the

main collection point for emptying, separation and on collection day.

• The transfer of bins will be undertaken by an appropriate bin tug, tractor or trailer. Mechanical bin

lifters will be used as required to avoid manual handling.

• Ensure appropriate signage is placed within waste areas to ensure waste is placed in the correct

bins.


• Consider where possible receipt of products that are packaged in recyclable materials or are

placed in recyclable containers that can be returned for reuse. This includes the use of dog

bedding, toys and other products that are sustainable, can be reused, recycled or are

biodegradable.

6.4.2 Hygiene and Maintenance

• Management shall be responsible for the maintenance of signage, the security of the waste

storage area, and the maintenance of bins and bin lifters.

• An arrangement will be made with a bin cleaning contractor for regular bin cleaning. The bin

contractor will provide a specialised filtration service to ensure pollutants are collected by the

mobile unit and appropriately disposed in accordance with EPA Guidelines.

• Cleaning areas have been provided.

6.4.3 Education

• Training for staff in waste management and sustainable practices.

• Signage to ensure waste is placed in appropriate containers.

• Staff and site management will be supplied with a copy of this SWMMP to inform them on the

concepts of waste minimisation and recycling.

• Appointed staff will monitor the waste areas and report to management on any issues that require

rectification.

6.4.4 Waste Collection

• Access to the site will be provided for medium rigid waste vehicle, including ability for creek

crossing.

• Commercial waste contract will be negotiated for a range of waste options – recycling, general

waste, medical / clinical waste, and dog faeces.

• Appropriate turning circles for the waste vehicle will be provided to ensure the vehicle can enter

and leave the site in a forward direction.

6.4.5 Waste Plan

Below is Figure 4 which is an extract of the proposed layout of the facility. It includes recommendations for

waste storage and collection locations.

7 Conclusion

The proposed Farmstay facility for greyhounds provides a much needed facility for Greyhound Racing NSW

to ensure greyhounds are bred, trained, raced and rehomed in the most responsible and sustainable

manner.

This waste management plan provides sustainable waste management provisions for the proposed facility

and includes recommendations for reuse and recycling wherever possible.

Over 98% of waste during demolition and construction is proposed for recycling or reuse and the remainder

will be transferred to a recognised waste management facility.

This SWMMP has been prepared having regard to the policies of Muswellbrook Council and the NSW EPA

and will provide appropriate criteria for the management of waste on site.
