Chapel Park is a master-planned residential development by Hamilton Marino Builders, located at 220 Chapel Road, Keysborough VIC, in Melbourne’s south-east. Designed by CHT Architects, the development comprises 110 townhouse residences alongside a selection of apartments, centred around a landscaped courtyard with boutique retail, cafes, and restaurants, positioned opposite South Keysborough Shopping Centre and adjacent to Keysborough Golf Club. The development’s two-building configuration required separately designed waste management solutions to suit each waste room location.

Elephants Foot Chute Solutions was engaged to supply and install two dual waste and recycling chute systems across two waste room locations, each configured to suit the specific layout and occupancy requirements of its respective building. The systems provide efficient waste and recycling transfer across multiple levels, reducing manual handling for building management and supporting well-organised waste room operations throughout the development.

Waste Room 1 services two chute pipe levels across both the waste and recycling streams, with fire-rated self-closing intake doors installed for both streams at each operational level. The discharge room is located at ground level, with two Type A bottom discharge doors installed to suit 1,100L MGBs for the waste and recycling streams respectively. Vent and wash-down cleaning systems were installed at the top of both chute shafts to support airflow management, odour control, and internal chute hygiene.

Waste Room 2 services one chute pipe level across both the waste and recycling streams, with fire-rated self-closing intake doors installed for both streams at the single operational level. The discharge room is also located at ground level, with two Type A bottom discharge doors installed to suit 1,100L MGBs for the waste and recycling streams. Vent and wash-down cleaning systems were installed at the top of both chute shafts in this waste room as well.

Across both waste room locations, the systems run straight up and down with no offsets incorporated within the scope, and all discharge rooms are located at ground level, providing a consistent and practical waste management outcome across the full development.

The completed installation provides Hamilton Marino Builders with a durable and compliant waste and recycling infrastructure solution suited to the scale and character of Chapel Park, supporting reliable long-term performance and efficient building operations across both waste room locations.
