9        DELIVERY AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES




         As the proposed      shopping centre would comprise of an IGA supermarket and speciality stores,
         noise from      delivery and service activities would need to be considered. The developer proposed
         site   plan shows location of the loading dock for the supermarket and speciality stores (please
         refer to Figure 3).

         Typical delivery times for deliveries at the centre have been obtained from the proposed                     IGA

         operator who operates other IGA stores within the Sunshine Coast area (information obtained via
         David   Hood, Architect). The operator has stated that Heavy Rigid Vehicle (HRV)deliveries from
         IGA warehouses would         occur once a   day, typically between 8am and noon on week days only.
         HRV deliveries will not occur during evening and night periods (6pm to 7am).




         The operator has also confirmed that the local bulk deliveries are done via            body trucks, up the
         size of a Medium     Rigid Vehicle (MRV)with cold rooms on the back for bread and milk etc. These
         deliveries   are   frequent and mostly during the week and          may   deliver    on   weekends. These

         deliveries are proposed at anytime during the day evening and night periods.



         It is anticipated that Refuse collection vehicles will also assess the site for rubbish collection.

         It is understood that HRVs and Refuse collection vehicles will not use           reversing beepers at the

         Service   bay    area.   Reversing beepers may be used by forklifts       or   by vehicles accessing         the

         Speciality shop service bay.
