# Waste & Resource Recovery 2.1 Operational Waste - Food & Garden Waste

# Applies to

All development

# Objective

To ensure waste avoidance, reuse and recycling during the operational life of the building.

# Summary

Points are awarded when it is demonstrated that facilities will be provided for on-site management of food and garden waste. Using site plans, identify proposed site uses, such as food and beverage tenancies, domestic kitchens or garden areas, which may generate high levels of organic waste, and identify areas on the site for storage of organic waste.

You may also claim this credit if occupants have access to a collection system but this must include both food and garden waste. Check whether you may claim this credit with the relevant council if you are proposing council collection of FOGO bins.

# Documentation & evidence required

  • Site plans indicating an area dedicated to on-site management of food and garden waste
  • Details of the organic waste system and who will be responsible for its implementation and management.
