Waste container space requirements where no chute system

Where there is no waste chute system, the container space must be within 30 m travel distance of the dwelling, not requiring passage through the dwelling, and have a hard-standing base of at least 1.8 m x 1.2 m or as recommended by the Local Government Waste Storage Guide.

Where a dwelling is not served by a waste chute system the waste container space should – (a) be at a travel distance of not more than 30 m from the dwelling and sited so that the waste container can be removed without being taken through the dwelling or any other building, other than a garage, carport or other open covered space; and (b) have a washable hard-standing base of sufficient area to accommodate the waste containers and provide reasonable access. For example 1.8 m x 1.2 m for 3 wheelie bin type containers or as recommended by the Local Government Waste Storage Guide.
