3.4        REFUSE COLLECTION
Within the retirement community, the proposed network of internal roadways are considered to provide appropriate
access for refuse collection services. The roads within the site are all 6.0m wide carriageways minimum. The standard
width of a Refuse Collection Vehicle (RCV) is 2.5m. Therefore it is considered that the internal road network provides an
adequate level of access for a refuse vehicle. Refuse collection is anticipated to occur infrequently, eg: once a week.
