PART Response to Information Request
1. Provide further information to confirm that there has been no net loss of public car parking, as a result of
this change to the development. or alternatively, demonstrate that there is sufficient spaces provided to
accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated by the development.
2. Confirm the number of trucks utilising the site and provide amended plans delineating where sufficient truck
parking is located.
3. Confirm the number of staff that attend the site and ensure that sufficient car parking is provided for that
number of staff.
Response:
The following advice is provided that deals with all three (3) issues raised above.
With respect to the amount of parking being provided, the applicant is providing sufficient parking to meet
the needs of the development without causing any adverse offsite impacts. The site is isolated and located
on the Eumundi Noosa Road, with all parking contained within the site. Given the improved internal layout
including the new location of the two (2) weighbridges to the east of the drainage line, the development will
not cause any queuing onto Eumundi Noosa Road.
Under the Driveway and Parking Code, specifically performance outcome PO6, a utility installation is to
provide sufficient parking to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated. Given the
nature of the use, the vehicles attending the site are primarily for the purpose of disposing waste and
recyclable materials. This includes the general public, commercial operators and the Cleanaway contracting
service vehicles.
In terms of staff and employee numbers, the total number of employees on the site for the various
components of the operation, include the following:
• Noosa Council employees (on site based only), include:
- 4 weighbridge employees who work in the weighbridges and the transfer station; and
- 4 waste team members in the site office.
• Cleanaway employee numbers:
- Attending the site Monday to Friday is 35, including 21 waste service vehicle drivers
- Attending the site Saturday-Sunday is 9, including any service vehicle drivers required; and
- Only 5 of the employees work in the office, with other staff working further afield and mostly off
the site.
• Reviva Shop employee numbers:
- 4 to 5 employees Monday – Friday; and
- 3 employees on weekends.
While the development provides for a larger Reviva Shop, it is not expected that this part of the development
will generate a greater demand for parking. The majority of the patrons attending the Reviva Shop are already
attending the site to dispose of waste and recyclable materials. Consequently, the Reviva Shop is not
considered to be a destination in its own right with sufficient parking available for both staff and patrons. The
