PART Response to Information Request

It is understood that a key driver of this change to the development is to improve the level of risk to public and
staff safety.

Information Required

4. Further information/detail is to be provided on the proposal plans to demonstrate that there is clear
   demarcation and delineation of vehicle and pedestrian areas to reduce potential conflicts and improve public
   and staff safety.

5. Demonstrate on the proposal plans how the public walk safely between the Transfer Station and the Reviva
   Shop.

Response:

The Waste Transfer Station and Reviva Shop and internal layout and operation of the Waste and Recycling
Facility, including the existing Cleanaway Compound, have been deliberately designed to provide separation
and limit pedestrian connectivity for patrons. Given the nature of the use, it is not desirable for the
development to provide any pedestrian connectivity for patrons between the proposed facilities for work
place health and safety reasons. The design of the development does provide for limited pedestrian and work
place connectivity for Noosa Council and Cleanaway staff.

The design of development deliberately seeks to discourage pedestrian movements within the site between
the various components for operational reasons. There is a clear intent to provide separation of heavy vehicle
movements from both the Cleanaway servicing trucks and also commercial vehicle operators and other
vehicles within the site and also prevent any conflicts with pedestrians, in particular patrons attending the
site.

It is intended that patrons attending the site to dispose of waste and recycling materials will drive to the
Waste Transfer Station and then drive and park at the Reviva Shop as required. Vehicles leaving the site from
the Reviva Shop do not have to access the weighbridge for a second time.

There is a shared access path to the east of the Reviva Shop linking to the Waste Transfer Station to the south.
This shared pathway will be used by forklifts to transfer waste materials between the Waste Transfer Station
and the Reviva Shop. Further, will be used by staff as a pedestrian link but will not be used by patrons
attending the Waste and Recycling Facility and will be signed posted accordingly.

Another staff walkway is to be provided across the drainage channel to provide pedestrian connectivity for
Cleanaway staff to access the gravel hardstand area where the Cleanaway service vehicles will be parked when
not in use (refer Attachment 1). The additional pedestrian pathway and the gravel hardstand area to the
east will be shown on amended proposal plans that are yet to be updated1.
