Domestic Waste Audit

⁠⁠⁠ABOUT CAMPBELLTOWN

The City of Campbelltown is located in the outer south-western suburbs of Sydney, 55km from the Sydney Central Business District (CBD).

The Campbelltown Local Government Area (LGA) is bounded by Liverpool LGA to the north, Sutherland Shire to the east, Wollondilly Shire to the south and Camden LGA to the west.

Campbelltown comprises 31,200 hectares of land including 1,189 hectares of protected national park.

We have a major role to play as part of one of the fastest growing regions in Australia and the capital of the Macarthur region.

Campbelltown is where the City meets the bush. On Dharawal land, the natural landscape and setting of the city are some of its greatest assets and represent the foundation of the city's structure and places.

Campbelltown is known as the land between two rivers - the Nepean and Georges and is also where the Cumberland Plain in the west meets the coastal plateau in the east.

The result is a distinctive natural setting of a city in a valley that characterises the place to this day.

We are a diverse and growing community of over 175,000 people. The population is expected to grow to almost 250,000 by 2036. Rich in experience and culture, we come from a wide range of backgrounds. Today, 31% of our residents were born overseas and 62% of people living in Campbelltown have parents who were born overseas.

Campbelltown is poised to lead the next decade of growth in the Macarthur region as it cements itself as a regional hub and cultural heartland. Along with population growth and significant housing development, infrastructure projects and investment will shape the expansion of our city.

The principal service centre of Campbelltown City Council (Council) is located at the Civic Centre in Queen Street, Campbelltown.

SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS

Council is seeking a suitably experienced Responding Organisation to undertake a comprehensive domestic waste audit to identify the composition of household general waste, commingled recycling, and garden organics streams in an annual 300-household dataset (two (2) in total) and quarterly 150-household targeted sampling (six (6) in total).

The audit is to include (at a minimum) the following:

- identification and analysis of the composition, contamination and generation rates of the domestic residual waste, commingled recycling and garden organics streams; and

- comparison of sampled data with historical data to identify trends over time.

The audit must comply with EPA guidelines for conducting kerbside audits (original 2008 guidelines and addendum 2010).

The audit will assist Council in developing a greater understanding of the composition, generation, and contamination levels within the LGA.
