The main points to note are:

—      approximately 92,600 tonnes of waste in total were received for the 2023 / 2024 financial year

—      green waste is currently converted to mulch, with an estimated yield of 80% by weight
—      there is currently one weighbridge which weighs inbound, outbound and internal movements
—      the weighbridge service time is about 20 to 30 seconds per vehicle
—      if more than 100 vph arrive at the site, queues would extend back onto Eumundi Noosa Road
—      the site is accessed via a priority-controlled intersection with Eumundi Noosa Road
—      the peak operating hours of the NRRC are Tuesdays (11:00am to 12:00pm) and Sundays
       (11:15am to 12:15pm)
—      intersection analyses indicate that the intersection currently experiences LOS A operations under
       existing Tuesday and Sunday peak hour conditions
—      right turns at the site exit have been banned in response to recent crashes
