2.5      TRAFFIC DATA

         2.5.1        Weighbridge Data
         A review of the Noosa Resource Recovery Facility Efficiency Optimisation and Masterplan report
         prepared by Aurecon (dated 7 February 2025) has been undertaken (attached in Appendix A).
         A month’s worth of weighbridge data for November 2023 was used to inform the proposed
         master plan layout. Since the raw weighbridge data is not available for this traffic impact
         assessment, the Aurecon report has been used to understand existing weighbridge operations.
         The key data used for this report are summarised below:

         —         typical weighbridge service times of 20 to 30 seconds per vehicle
         —         the number of weighbridge passes, summarised in Table 2.2
         —         the quantity and type of waste, summarised in Table 2.2
