3.6.2        Masterplan design considerations
The free-of-charge streams have been grouped into a condensed area which is accessed prior to the
transfer station areas by customers to optimise collection of these streams. As these streams do not require
passing over weighbridge, the entry to free-of-charge area is prior to the transfer station weighbridge. The
flow of traffic entering the stream does not significantly differ from the traffic passing through the free-of-
charge area, reducing the delay, number of stops and time required for customers to access both areas of
the NRRF and optimise collection. There is an office included to the free-of-charge area, required to take
payment for mattress disposal only (the sole payable disposal in this area) and to support customers in
sorting and disposing of the items in this area. The free-of-charge area is set up for traffic in a roundabout
formation, enabling shortening of trips for customers and providing an option to continue onto the transfer
station area rather than exiting site or returning to the site entry roundabout.
To optimise cost efficiency of upgrades, the existing Reviva buildings are retained in the Masterplan design
to provide indoor areas for processing and storage of polystyrene, storage of e-waste, and mattress
processing and storage. Though there are roof structures over the two aisles in the free-of-charge area,
there are no enclosed rooms, increasing ventilation in these areas and reducing capital cost. The aisles have
been designed with a concrete barrier wall and wall to roof steel mesh for separation between public areas
and the operational area, allowing for secure storage of materials, and barrier to prevent customer and
operational interactions. The western aisle includes chemical, battery, motor oil, paint and other regulated-
type wastes, with a collection via pull in bay for collection vehicles, preventing interaction with customers
using the free-of-charge area. There is racking in the operational side of this aisle for accumulation of
materials to optimise collection, tank, camlock, and receival bay for motor oil, and cut windows, roller doors
and access points to transfer these streams to collection vehicles.
The southern building also incorporates separation, with collections occurring on the southern side of the
building and receivals along the north, preventing interaction. The eastern aisle includes cardboard, bottles
and cans, co-mingled recycling collection, with access provided adjacent to the pull in bay for customers to
break down boxes and take time in processing bottles and cans into the correct receptacles. The eastern
aisle also includes a steel-mesh barrier wall between operational and public sides of the aisle preventing
public access to operational areas. The collection area on the eastern side is a forklift only operational area
and is not intended to have operator access on foot. This area includes crates and 3m3 skips able to be
rotated by the forklift when filled, without interrupting customer disposal of items, and provide a collection
pull-in bay for operational vehicles collecting these streams.
