3.1.2            Masterplan design considerations
The traffic stream of vehicles from offsite to transfer station areas (transfer bays and bulk bay) has the
highest number of weighbridge passes of all waste movements in the November data. This is therefore a
priority for ease of accessibility within the masterplan and positioned in a location as close as possible to site
entry and exit points. To mitigate operator internal movements required and optimise supervision of the
waste transfer operation, the transfer bays and bulk tipping floor are co-located in the masterplan design.
This also enables retention and continued use of grade separated landfill containers and cover structures at
the existing transfer bays, and some existing site roadways and pavement areas. The combined transfer bay
area and bulk tipping floor will require an increase in size to accommodate larger vehicles and vehicles
towing trailers, which are currently using the bulk transfer area, with bulk tipping located in the southernmost
section to limit public interaction.
A review of the traffic composition of transfer vehicles was undertaken to evaluate various combinations of
bays based on vehicle type, size, and unloading mechanism. To minimise the interaction between smaller
and larger vehicles, public and commercial traffic, operational traffic and patrons of the facility, the number
and complexity of vehicle movements and manoeuvring required at transfer bays and the bulk tipping floor,
as well as limiting interactions and associated hazards where vehicles contain mixed waste, transfer bays
have been categorised into three types based on vehicle size and type. The distribution of vehicle access
frequency for each bay type across opening hours in November 2023 are shown in Figure 4. To support
increased diversion of waste from landfill, the following controls are proposed as part of the masterplan
design of the transfer bays, sorting and bulk tipping area:
◼    Retain shared skips and collection crates at transfer bays
◼    Pedestrian access to facilitate operation supervision and support
◼    Secondary sorting location for landfill stream from transfer bays
◼    Mechanical sorting area for larger items, or quantities where manual sorting is not practical
◼    Bulk tipping floor has increased area for operator sorting
◼    Signage
