6. PROCEDURE
6.1 Introduction This procedure has been prepared to assist Planning Permit applicants in addressing the residential waste storage and disposal requirements of Knox City Council for multi unit developments.
The information required to support a planning permit application will be based on:
The nature and location of the proposal
The capacity of Council to accommodate the transfer of waste (garbage, recyclables, green and hard waste) materials into disposal vehicles.
The Waste Management Plan (if required).
The Planning Permit conditions (including the Waste Management Plan if required) will be used to reinforce the waste storage and disposal requirements for the life of the
development.
6.2 Knox Waste and Recycling Services
Knox City Council currently provides the following services for residential properties (see table below for Knox standard bin colours). The following collection service is to be provided as a minimum:
4
An 80L bin for weekly waste collection. A 120L bin is also available but this bin
attracts an additional annual rates surcharge. A 240L bin for fortnightly comingled recycling collection. An optional 240L bin user pays service for fortnightly green waste collection
(attracts additional annual rates charge). A fortnightly kerbside collection of tied and bundled green waste. Two (2) hard waste collections per year.
The service described above may cater for smaller-sized multi unit developments of 1- 3 storeys that can meet the criteria referred to in section 6.5. For larger multi storey developments referred to in section 6.5, the service will provide bins of 80L, 120L or 240L capacity for waste and comingled recyclables. The Responsible Entity will be required to purchase, maintain and arrange private collection for larger 660L and 1100L bins. The capacity requirement will be based on waste generation rates referred to section 1.2 of Appendix A and frequency of collection. Bins are required to be collected during times that accord with Council’s own waste contract requirements: Between the hours of 6:00am and 6:00pm, Monday to Friday, on arterial roads as
nominated by Council, or Between 6:30am and 6:00pm, Monday to Friday, on all other roads.
6.2.1 Council’s Fees and Charges
Council’s website http://www.knox.vic.gov.au/yourproperty/waste,rubbishandrecycling should be referred to for relevant fees and charges for waste collection services. It should be noted that engagement of a private collection contractor will not result in a reduction in Council’s rates as charged to the property. Council rates also allow for waste removal from public place litter and recycling bins and litter clearance from shopping centre footpaths, roads, parks, gardens, recreation and sporting grounds, waterways and community facilities.
6.2.2 Waste Service Council requires that all residents be provided with waste and recycling services to the standard indicated in Section 6.2 as a minimum.
6.3 Knox Local Law Knox Council’s General Provisions Local Law 2010 regulates the way waste receptacles (mobile garbage bins) are supplied and used, and waste (including hard and bundled green waste) is collected.

OPTION A
Council collection service from the kerbside (up to five dwellings)
Council’s standard waste collection services may be utilised where:
• A weekly garbage and fortnightly recycling collection service is sufficient to service the
expected volume of waste generated;
APPENDIX A
- 3 -
• The presentation of bins for collection in a single row with a 300mm gap between bins on the kerb in front of the property does not occupy more than 11 metres of the available kerbside property frontage (Bins must not obstruct driveways, laneways, footpaths and have 1 metre clearance from poles, trees, letter boxes);
• Bins can be placed on the kerb in a manner that does not obstruct sight lines of vehicles leaving the property or at adjacent intersections;
• Bins can be collected directly from the kerb without the need for the vehicle to enter private property.
OPTION B
Council collection service from within the property (more than five dwellings)
If collections cannot be undertaken from the kerbside, then buildings and access ways will
need to be designed to accommodate the transfer of materials to collection vehicles from
within the property boundaries. The Waste Management Plan will specify maximum waste
collection vehicle dimensions and these dimensions must conform with those specified in
Appendix C:
• Collection vehicles are not permitted to reverse into or out of the site, so a turning area
is required if they cannot enter or leave in a forward direction.
The following will be applied to waste collection arrangements where collections are undertaken within the property:
• Bins should not be placed in, or interfere with, access driveways, loading bays, parking
bays.
• Collection points to be identified.
• Access to the collection point must be available between 6.00am-6.00pm on collection day. Parking restriction signage required.
• Turning area to be clear of vehicles between 6.00am - 6.00pm on collection day. Parking restriction signage required.
• Residents and waste service providers should not have to walk more than 30 metres to a
communal bin storage area for waste deposition or removal (via a 'housekeeping service').
• If collecting bins from an undercover area a minimum height clearance is required of 4.5 metres.
• Waste service providers should not have to walk more than 10 metres to a communal storage area for hard waste.
• Bins to have a minimum spacing of 0.30m if placed in a communal bin storage area.
• An indemnity provided by Council is to be signed and sealed by the Responsible Entity prior to waste collection commencing on private property.
• If transfer of the bins to the kerbside for collection and retrieval (housekeeping service) is permitted the vehicle shall not remain standing on the road for more than 15 minutes.
• Hard waste collection permitted on the kerbside for up to 15 dwellings. Storage and collection required within the complex for more than 15 apartments.
• Parking of the collection vehicle for collection and retrieval of bins will only be permitted if it complies with the requirements of the Victorian Road Safety Rules 2009 (S.R. No. 94/2009).
OPTION C
Private Collection Service
Private collection arrangements will be required if any of the conditions in Option B cannot be met.
If private collections cannot be undertaken from the street, buildings and access ways will need to be designed to accommodate the transfer of materials to collection vehicles from within the property boundaries. The Waste Management Plan will specify maximum waste collection vehicle dimensions and these dimensions must conform with:
APPENDIX A
- 4 -
• Contemporary waste collection vehicle design; and • The application's building plans.
The following guidelines will be applied to private waste collection arrangements:
• All waste streams should be collected on the same day. • No more than one collection vehicle for each waste stream should service the
development per day. • If collection is permitted from the kerbside, collection vehicles should not remain
standing on the road for more than 15 minutes at a time per waste stream. • The frequency of waste collection per stream should be limited to once or twice weekly. • Collections to be provided between 6.30am-6.00pm Monday to Friday only.
