Plan for Tomorrow waste Management

Waste Management Report

A Waste Management Report (WMP) outlines how your development will manage and minimise waste during demolition, construction, and ongoing use. Many councils in NSW require a WMP as part of the planning process, especially for residential, commercial and industrial developments.

At Plan for Tomorrow, we create tailored, approval-ready Waste Management Reports that support environmental goals and help you move through the approvals process with ease.

The building and construction industry is one of the largest contributors to landfill waste in Australia. A well-prepared Waste Management Report (WMP) plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impact and ensuring your development complies with council expectations.

Also referred to as a Site Waste Minimisation and Management Plan (SWMMP), this document outlines how waste will be handled at each stage of your project, including:

  • Demolition – identifying recyclable materials and safe disposal
  • Construction – planning for efficient on-site sorting and recycling
  • Post-completion use – setting up practical, long-term waste storage and management solutions

Your WMP will include:

  • The expected types and volumes of waste generated
  • On-site storage, separation, and treatment processes
  • Recycling and disposal methods for each waste type
  • Operational procedures for waste collection after the project is complete

We prepare Waste Management Reports for a wide range of residential and small-scale commercial developments across New South Wales, including:

  • Alterations and additions (Residential, Commercial or Industrial)
  • New single dwellings
  • Secondary dwellings (granny flats)
  • Dual occupancies
  • Multi-dwelling housing (terrace)
  • Change of use (Commercial and Industrial)
  • Commercial and Industrial

To get started, we’ll need your architectural plans showing proposed demolition (if applicable), new construction details, and the location of your waste storage area.

It depends on your local council and the type of development. Many councils require a Waste Management Plan for residential projects, particularly where demolition or multiple dwellings are involved.

Your plan will cover expected waste types and quantities, how they’ll be sorted and stored on site, where they’ll be taken, and how waste will be managed once the project is complete.

Once we have your architectural plans and site details, most Waste Management Plans are completed within 3 to 5 working days.

Yes. We regularly prepare Waste Management Plans for dual occupancies, secondary dwellings, and other small to mid-sized developments.

Absolutely. Every plan is tailored to your local council’s Development Control Plan (DCP) or planning guidelines to ensure it meets approval standards.
