REPORT:

Response

The Draft Planning Scheme acknowledges that waste reduction and recycling needs to be fully considered and implemented in the design, construction and operational phases of the Planning Scheme. Furthermore, Section 2.9.9 Waste Management and Recycling Facilities of the Draft Planning Scheme states that the recycling of waste shall be encouraged in accordance with the Eastern Midlands Regional Waste Management Plan 2015-2021.

Having regard to the motion submitted and the provision of recycling facilities, it is noted that the Draft Planning Scheme prioritises high quality and accessible refuse storage and recycling facilities for both residents and the public realm. A range of facilities can be provided at Clonburris in consideration of regional and national policy and guidance, which may include innovative options i.e. pneumatic waste systems at the Kishogue and Clonburris urban centres.

It is considered that issues regarding waste and recycling management are adequately addressed in Section 2.9.9 Waste Management and Recycling Facilities of the Draft Planning Scheme.
