7           Service Vehicle Arrangements
7.1         Noosa Council Requirements
The Noosa Council Plan 2020 does not stipulate specific servicing requirements for multi-unit residential
developments and no specific requirements are set for the number of service vehicle bays. It is expected that
the largest vehicle expected to access the site will be a Waste Collection Vehicle (WCV).

The Noosa Council Waste Management Planning Scheme Policy PSP9 requires that adequate provisions be
made for the standing, parking, loading and unloading, access and manoeuvring of service vehicles within
the development site.

7.2         Practical Demands
7.2.1       Residential Use
It is expected that residential furniture removal and general servicing will occur via a Medium Rigid Vehicle
(MRV). Typical of the requirements specified via other Councils within the surrounding regions.

7.2.2       Refuse Collection
Residential refuse is to be collected by Noosa Council Waste Services. As per NSC’s Waste Management PSP9
a front loading WCV is required to access the development site. Servicing is expected to occur a maximum of
2 times per week. Once per week for general waste collection and once every two weeks for recycling.

7.3         Proposed Service Vehicle Arrangements and Their Adequacy
Assuming 1 year leases for each unit, a conservative assessment of the furniture vehicle requirements for
the site identifies that up to 2 furniture vehicles will access the site per week. In addition to the two refuse
vehicles, this equates to an estimated demand of 4 service vehicles per week, less than one vehicle per day.

TTM have undertaken a swept path analysis of a WCV travelling entering, standing and exiting the site. This
manoeuvre is shown in TTM Drawing 20BRT0372-01 included in Appendix B demonstrating the WCV can
enter and exit the site safely in a forward gear.

A dedicated aisle / standing area is provided adjacent the ramp for service vehicles. Servicing will occur
within this area without blocking or impeding parking spaces or internal aisles.

Servicing is expected to occur outside of peak hours when the internal traffic flows will be very low, particularly
for the 7 visitor spaces located at ground level. The required manoeuvring of the WCV (largest service vehicles
expected to access the site) is not expected to have an adverse impact on the internal operation of the site.
Overall, the proposed service vehicle arrangements are considered appropriate for the site.
