PART Response to Information Request

parking available for the Reviva Shop is 24 spaces, including 2 car and trailer spaces, with 21 spaces currently
being provided.

It is also relevant that the current contract with Cleanaway has been extended for a period of 2 years. Plans
for the next contract, including the process for public tender, are currently under review. At this stage, it is
not known which contractor will provide waste and recycling collection services for the Noosa area, or whether
all or some of the waste service vehicles will continue to be stored at the site. It is possible that the majority
of waste service vehicles may no longer be parked at the site in the future.

At this stage, it is proposed to provide a large, gravelled compound area to the east of the existing drainage
line as shown on the amended Master Plan (refer Attachment 1). This gravelled area is more than sufficient
to accommodate the parking for the waste service vehicles at present. It is also expected that the drivers of
the waste service vehicles will park their private vehicles within this gravelled compound area.

A pedestrian access link will also to be provided to this new compound area either adjacent to the existing
roadway or further to the north, providing a direct link from the Reviva Shop / Cleanaway Compound area.
While the gravelled compound area is considered temporary at this time, subject to the outcome of the review
of the waste contracting services to be provided, this parking area could be formalised, if necessary.

While the amount of formal parking provided within the Cleanaway Compound area to the northwest has
been reduced to 7 staff spaces, there is other land available in this location for overflow parking of waste
service and staff vehicles. This compound area is primarily for the servicing and washing of waste service
vehicles. There is a limited number of staff at this compound area during normal business hours with the
majority of staff being the drivers of the waste service vehicles.

In terms of Council staff, there are 4 weighbridge employees and 4 waste team members in the Waste Transfer
Station. A total of 22 spaces are being provided to the east of the Waste Transfer Station, which is more than
adequate parking for Noosa Council staff. Some of this parking could also be used by Cleanaway service
vehicle drivers; however, the parking is associated with the Waste Transfer Station and therefore can be
managed to meet the demands of patrons and staff attending the site, this being under the control of the
applicant (Noosa Council).

The majority of patrons attending the site will not need to park to dispose of waste and recycling materials.
The design of the new Waste Transfer Station provides for 4 lanes of traffic and 13 bins for all types of waste
and recyclable materials. There is no need for the majority of the patrons to park for extended periods on the
site. Despite an increase in the number of patrons attending the site in recent years due to population growth
in both the Noosa and Sunshine Coast areas, there will be less demand for the patron parking within the site
once the development is operational.

The proposed development complies with performance outcome PO6 of the Driveways and Parking Code.

Item – Public, Staff and Traffic Safety

The purpose and overall outcomes of the Driveways and Parking Code require parking and manoeuvring areas
to be designed to protect the safety of pedestrians, be functional and meet reasonable requirement of the
particular land use.
