    We're doing a Jetty at our weekender and on the home straight , but our environment consultant who's been co-ordinating every thing , doesn't do the required Erosion and Sediment control plan
    and Waste management Plan .

    He recommended we talk to AusWide consulting , but my initial phone contact left me underwhelmed .

    Has anyone deAlt with this company or does anyone have other recommendations .

    @See Change - Erosion/Sediment Control Plan - from the stormwater consultant may be a bit more detailed as it is waterway so a floating sedimentation boom will be required, the nominated builder may be able to help on that one.

    Waste Management Plan - from the builder (I don't have a current one unfortunately but it was a bit of BS about recycling, separation of waste streams etc) @Leo2413 or @bob shovel may have one

    I've heard they are decent. Maybe give them a call to discuss.

    Why can't the enviro consultant do the enviro plans? ?:eek:

    You could have a go yourself. But the builder would be first call. I believe they are a specialist at Jetty's ? They should have them from previous jobs and you could copy/paste to suit yours.
    Waste management plan as Scott said. How you are doing to manage and minimise waste generated. Bins on site. Chemical storage and bunds. any material going off site to licenced facility. Any contaminated materials to appropriate licenced facility. Recycling. Sustainable materials or building techniques

    Are these docs reqd for the council da?

    I could email you construction ones we've worked wuth but they would be massive over kill and not specific to you. Go to council first and/or find templates. That should provide the headings then you fill out the details under.

    For erosion and sediment it's the plan on how you'll prevent any material leaving the site. So sediment fence around the perimeter, any stock piles to be sed fenced and possibly covered. With the water it is a new element im not familiar with but essentially same as material washing from a building site to the road you want to stop it entering the water.

    It also depends on the scope of work. piering in the water? ? May need a boom around the jetty footprint .
    Plant entering water. Wash down machines before arriving at site to prevent weeds
    Access tracks to be stabilised - eg ballast or silt bags across tracks.

    How's that for a brain fart of info? :cool:

    Getting there .

    The waste management plan and erosion control plan can be provided by the jetty builder .

    We left a message with auswide consulting , but they never got back ...

    Current issue is getting the engineer to modify his design criteria so the they actually confirm to those in the development consent .... just a minor point
