Construction and demolition activities generate huge quantities of waste with substantial impacts on environment. This mini-review article covers the literatures relating to construction and demolition waste management practice in Australia. The Scopus search engine was used in literature search and 26 journal articles relating to construction and demolition waste management in Australia were targeted for analysis. Additionally, various government acts, regulations, policies, and strategy documents were collected and analyzed. This review indicated that the inconsistencies in legislation and landfill levies across states and territories contributed to the cross-jurisdiction waste movement. Given the stakeholders’ attitude and project life cycle, this review reported that the design phase had the greatest potential to minimize waste and that the role of designers had been highlighted in various empirical studies. This review provides practitioners and academics with an understanding of the current construction and demolition waste management research in Australia and recommends directions for future research.

建筑和拆除活动产生大量废物，对环境产生重大影响。这篇小型评论文章涵盖了与澳大利亚建筑和拆除废物管理实践相关的文献。使用 Scopus 搜索引擎进行文献检索，对 26 篇与澳大利亚建筑和拆除废物管理相关的期刊文章进行分析。此外，还收集和分析了各种政府行为、法规、政策和战略文件。该审查表明，各州和地区的立法和垃圾填埋税不一致导致了跨辖区的废物流动。考虑到利益相关者的态度和项目生命周期，该审查报告说，设计阶段最有可能最大限度地减少浪费，并且设计师的作用已在各种实证研究中得到强调。本综述为从业人员和学者提供了对澳大利亚当前建筑和拆除废物管理研究的了解，并为未来的研究提出了建议。
