   an acoustic screen along the western boundary to mitigate intrusive noise from delivery
   and waste vehicles and associated activities.

The proposal plans show a noise attenuation barrier beside the loading and service area for
the development. At the present time there are no residential buildings constructed on the
land or in the vicinity of the development and consequently there is no need for a noise report
to be provided. However, it is accepted that this issue will need to be addressed with future
stages of the ultimate development.

As explained above, the subsequent development of the land will require the approval of a
permissible change application to allow for the proposed development and the residential
component. This means that the matter of noise being generated from the proposed
development adversely impacting upon the residential uses to be constructed on the land can
be addressed at that time.

Waste Management

22. Please provide a Waste Management Plan (Operational) in accordance with Planning
    Scheme Policy No. 9 “Waste Management Multi-Dwellings and Commercial and Industrial
    Premises”, for the day-to-day operation of the development. The Plan should include the
    following information as a minimum:

       a) The types of waste that will be generated from the activities approved within the
          development.
       b) Estimated volumes or tonnage of both recyclables and waste generated.
       c) Methods to be used for dealing with any green waste.
       d) Initiatives to minimise waste either by waste prevention, reduction, re-use or
          recycling.
       e) Description of procedures for getting all waste to the bins; the storage of bins and
          the collection of bins by the contractor.
       f) A description of the design details of waste storage and recycling areas including
          size, location, elevation, enclosure/s, floor plan and methods of bin washing that
          prevent contamination of storm water and an appropriately sized bin wash area
          drained to sewer.
       g) A description of types and volume of waste storage containers to be used.
       h) The waste and recycling storage area should include the provision of correctly sized
          containers for all waste and recycling materials including putrescible matter, non-
          recycling waste, paper/ cardboard, glass, aluminium/steel cans, waste oil,
          styrofoam boxes, etc, and in washing facilities connected to sewer.
       i) A detailed description of the waste vehicle access to collect waste including vehicle
          turnarounds that allow vehicles to enter and leave the site in a forward direction.
          It should be noted that:
                 
 Waste vehicles are front loading for steel 1.5 to 3m bins
                 
 Waste vehicles are rear loading for plastic low noise 1.1m bins
                 
 Waste vehicles are side loading for 240 litre wheelie bins

23. Clarify the type of bins proposed for the use and their point of servicing. Provide an access
    and swept path analysis for the front loading Refuse Collection Vehicle (RCV/HRV), using
    a computer aided program compliant with AS2890.2, to demonstrate that safe, easy and
    unobstructed on-site servicing of bulk bin containers can occur. Design vehicle
    specifications are outlined in the Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 9 - Waste Management.
    Note that the RCV/HRV must enter and exit the site in a forward motion and the swept
