Service Vehicle Arrangements




9. Service Vehicle Arrangements

9.1      Council Service Vehicle Requirements
               MCRC’s The Noosa Plan specifies that the proposed retail development is required to provide on-
               site waste collection facilities.
               In accordance with good traffic engineering practice, the waste collection facilities must ensure that
               RCV’s (standard 10m length) are able to enter the site in a safe forward motion, load waste bins,
               and depart the site in a safe forward motion.

9.2      Proposed Service Arrangements & Their Adequacy
               The service vehicle facilities for the proposed development include one (1) MRV bays with
               dimensions of 3.5m in width and 9m in length which is in accordance with Australian Standards
               2890.2 (2002). The proposed MRV bay is also capable of accommodating RCV turn paths for the
               development’s waste collection services.
               To demonstrate the adequacy of the proposal, Halcrow have applied AutoTurn to assess the MRV
               and RCV turn paths on the proposed development layout. The turn path assessment found that
               both MRV’s and RCV’s can enter the site, access their respective loading areas, and depart the
               site in a safe and efficient manner as depicted in Figures 9.1 and 9.2 respectively.
               Furthermore, the proposed development provides two (2) Service Van bays with dimensions of 3m
               in width and 5.4m in length which is in accordance with Australian Standards 2890.2 (2002).
               Therefore the proposed service vehicle facilities for the proposed development are in accordance
               with Council design requirements.
