Overview

Getting MUD-dy - Waste management issues in new housing developments. Andrew Quinn, GHD


Details

Property sizes in new housing developments are significantly smaller than in established residential areas. Developers continue to plan suburbs that have higher density housing, narrower roads and more difficult heavy vehicle access. I will share my experience encountering these issues in recent projects for local government and how they have influenced the development of the NSW EPA’s new Better Practice Guidelines for Waste Management in Multi-Unit Dwellings and its Waste Not… Model DCP.
