Waste Management Plans for Blacktown
Blacktown City Council is one of the largest LGAs in NSW by population, covering established suburbs and major growth areas in Western Sydney. Their waste management DCP controls cover greenfield subdivisions, medium-density infill, and large apartment complexes.
Blacktown's rapid growth means a high volume of DAs for both greenfield developments in new release areas and urban renewal projects in established centres. Their waste management requirements address the full spectrum from detached housing subdivisions to high-density apartment towers in Blacktown CBD.
Blacktown WMP Requirements
- Operational WMP required for all residential developments of 3 or more dwellings
- D&CWMP required for all demolition and new construction
- Waste generation rates as per Blacktown DCP Section 6.2
- Waste storage room sizing to accommodate 3-stream collection minimum
- Collection access requirements for council collection vehicles (typically MRV 8.8m)
- Bin presentation area design — covered, level surface, within 15m of collection point
