RFI - Traffic Statement

Response
Due to physical site constraints, on-site access for a bulk-waste collection vehicle is not achievable. The
grade and ramping between the street and the internal driveway prevent a refuse truck from safely entering
or manoeuvring within the site.
This has been assessed in detail as part of the traffic report which accompanied the development
application. This report detailed that vehicle ground-clearance issues and longitudinal grade limitations
make truck entry impossible (refer Figure 1). Accordingly, the site cannot accommodate 1100 L bins or an
on-site bulk-bin collection system.

Given these constraints, the development proposes a 360 L wheelie-bin system, which is compatible with
Council’s standard side-loading residential collection vehicles. This arrangement allows all refuse and
recycling to be collected from the street frontage without requiring truck access onto the site. The proposed
bin allocation is:
    •    3 × 360 L general waste bins
    •    3 × 360 L commingled recycling bins
This shared arrangement provides adequate storage volume for the scale of the development while
maintaining compliance with bin-to-dwelling ratios and typical weekly generation rates.
Green waste will not require Council collection, as the development includes a site manager/body corporate
who will engage a professional landscape contractor. As part of their maintenance contract, the landscape
contractor will remove all generated green waste off-site, ensuring no need for Council-provided green-
waste bins and meeting the Planning Scheme Policy’s allowance for exemptions where green waste is
privately managed.
This approach represents the only practical and safe waste-collection arrangement, aligns with standard
residential servicing practices, and avoids the unsafe or unworkable manoeuvring of large waste trucks on
the constrained site.
