Two car spaces will be provided on site. The area of the site is approximately 169m2. TYPES OF WASTE GENERATED The following types of waste are most commonly generated within an office development: • General landfill rubbish; • Recyclables such as glass, paper, cardboard, cartons, plastics with ID Codes 1 to 7, steel & aluminium cans; • Compostable organic material (food scraps); • Hard rubbish such as broken furniture and large objects; and • Sundry waste types such as electronic waste. WASTE GENERATION RATES Listed below are the waste generation estimates for the development in accordance with the Sustainability Victoria guidelines based on City of Melbourne — Guidelines for preparing a waste management plan 2015: For office space: Space type Rubbish Generation Comingled Recyclables Office 10 L per 100m2 per day 10 L per 100m2 per day Based on the proposed total office NLA of 660.46m2 the total waste generated by the development is therefore: Total Development Rubbish Generation Comingled Recyclables Offices 331 L/week 331 L/week Proposed Bin Type 360 L 360 L Number of Bins required j 1 Once per week (Private Once per week (Private Collection Frequency collection) Collection) p BIN TYPES Below are the types of bins that the private contractor will provide with the common dimensions: Bin Storage Capacity Colour Waste Type Comments Type Average dimensions are: Dark Green Height 1.1m, Width 0.68m, 360L Body with General Garbage Depth 0.848m matching lid Total floor area required: 0.57m`/bin Average dimensions are: Dark Green Height 1.1m, Width 0.68m, Commingled 360L Body with Depth 0.848m recyclables yellow lid Total floor area required: 0.57m2/bin The private waste contractor once engaged will provide the bins for the development. Appropriate signage will be made available by the private contractor for the tenants for their own installations (such as on the underside of the bin's lid). These visual prompts (such as Figure 2 below) will assist in the proper disposal of the different types of waste. 7736.

Printable signage can be found in Sustainability Victoria's website: http://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au. WASTE STORAGE 1 x 360L bins for general rubbish and 1 x 360L bins for recycling will be provided for the development by the private contractor Both bin types will be stored in the dedicated storage area within the car park. Building users will dispose of all type of rubbish in the dedicated bins in the storage area. The service area will be mechanically ventilated to help reducing odours related to the waste. The staff, cleaner or building manager will ensure that the bin storage area remains clean and clear to avoid attracting vermin and maintain easy access. The cleaner/office manager will be responsible for emptying the office bins into the shared bins in the car park. Access to a tap will be provided in the storage area. Location of bins is highlighted in the figure below (green and yellow): LO CU 00 Figure 3: Example of bin storage area within the car park ID V WASTE COLLECTION & DISPOSAL Private collection is proposed for the development as the kerbside around the site are limited and the proposed bins would encroach on the pedestrian area on collection day. Collection will be made directly from Rokeby Street. The private waste contractor will stop in front of the car park entrance on Rokeby Street and roll the bins directly from their storage area to the truck and put them back in the storage area once empty. Collection of both general rubbish and recycling will occur once per week. The collection will require two separate trucks, one each for general rubbish and recyclables. Collection will occur outside of peak traffic hours and will be in accordance with EPA and The City of Yarra requirements, so as to minimise any traffic disturbance for staff or visitors entering or exiting the site. OTHER WASTE TYPES The private contractor will provide hard waste collection. Method and frequency of collection will be confirmed once the private contractor is engaged. E-Waste will be banned from landfill from 1st July 2019. Occupants will be required to dispose of their E-waste at their nearest drop-off point. Nearest e-waste recycling drop-off point can be found on Planet Ark's Recycling Near You at https://recyclinqnearyou.com.au/electrical. The following section is sourced from the City of Yarra Waste and Recycling web page.

  • State Library Victoria Receives Extraordinary Rare Book Donation
    State Library Victoria receives extraordinary rare book donation State Library Victoria receives the “most significant donation of rare books in its 160 year history” More than 5000 rare books estimated at over $5 million with an endowment of over $1.3 million State Library Victoria is honoured to receive one of the world’s great rare book collections from the late John Emmerson QC. An Oxford physicist and later a Melbourne barrister, John Emmerson dedicated over 40 years to amassing one of the most significant collections of early modern printed books and pamphlets in the world. The extraordinary collection encompasses more than 5000 rare printed books spanning over 400 years from the 15th to the 18th century, including political, religious, philosophical and literary works. Among the treasures are King Charles I’s own personal copy of his father King James’ writings, a 15th century Nuremburg bible belonging to Archbishop of Canterbury William Juxon (who offered last rites to King Charles I), some of the world’s earliest newspapers, and editions of many literary greats. This is considered to be one of the largest and most valuable collections of rare English books and printed materials surrounding the King Charles I era and the English Civil War of the 1640s, with the only comparable collections belonging to the British Library and Oxford’s Bodleian Library. State Library Victoria’s History of the Book Manager Des Cowley says: “The rare book collection donated by John Emmerson is quite simply the most significant ever received by the State Library in its 160 year history.” “From treasures that belonged to King Charles himself to pamphlets documenting his trial and execution, to illustrated early editions of works by John Milton and other literary greats, the collection is significant not just for the sheer quantity but the quality of the works – who they belonged to and how beautifully they’ve been maintained,” he says.
