Lambert & Rehbein response:
Waste collection drivers will be provided remote controls to open the delivery gate
outside operating hours of the Centre when passing vehicular traffic will be limited. Due
to the vehicle size and reverse manoeuvre into the service bay, depending on truck’s
operational ability to load, the vehicle will need to utilise the majority of the width of the
circulation aisle, an occurrence which is generally common for large service vehicles.

It should be noted that the Council’s reference to 600vph is the worst case scenario
(assuming all stated GFA generates trips) which will occur during the morning peak hour
of the centre – this volume would largely include the arrival of staff. Outside this peak the
use of this ramp will be much lower than the stated peak and outside operational hours
of the Centre, when servicing will occur, the use of this ramp will be relatively low.

An operational plan will be developed to ensure the safety of service vehicles and
mitigate risks (i.e flashing amber lights to notify exiting vehicles, new trucks generally
now provide reversing cameras to assist in manoeuvring, staff member to oversee
servicing manoeuvring)
This response has been reviewed and certified by an RPEQ.


14.   Demonstrate that satisfactory height clearance will be available on routes used by
      service vehicles and for overhead loading of refuse bins in the loading area.
Lambert & Rehbein response:
A minimum height clearance of 4.5m has been provided along the travel path of the
service vehicles. See Swept Path Analysis of the service vehicle.
15.   There is likely to be a reasonable demand for courier deliveries, so consideration
      should be given to providing convenient short term van and SRV bays.
Lambert & Rehbein response:
Loading Zones have been provided at the entrance of the building. It is proposed to
provide an ambulance drop off zone, and two (2) loading zones for small service
vehicles along the building’s frontage.

Across from the proposed building, four (4) loading zones will be provided for short term
parking and patient drop off. A pedestrian zebra crossing will provide adequate
pedestrian connectivity from both these loading zones and Hofmann Drive via the
prosed pedestrian footpaths.
16.   Clarify hours of operation of the loading bay access gate, and if it is to be closed
      during business hours identify how delivery vehicles will gain access.
Lambert & Rehbein response:
Loading bay access will be provided during the normal operating hours of the Centre for
servicing of any MRV deliveries, while smaller vehicle can utilise the loading bays along
the front of the building. Waste collection drivers will be provided remotes to open the
delivery gate to ensure that waste collection occurs outside these peak operating hours
when passing vehicular traffic will be limited.
