3.1. Waste Volume Assessment

As Noosa Shire Council has not published specific waste generation rates for commercial
developments, this Waste and Recycling Management Plan considers the rates specified
within Moreton Bay Regional Council’s ‘General Waste and Recyclable Waste Storage and
Collection for Residential and Commercial Developments’ guidelines which specify the
following general waste and recycling generation rates relevant to the development:

Table 3.1: Waste and Recycling Generation Rates

Tne Dewelonment General Waste Generation Rate Recycling Generation Rate
ye P (L/100m floor area/week) (L/100m floor area/week)
Trade hub (assessed as retail 25 25
shop)
Warehouse 50 -

To allow for the separation of paper and cardboard from the recycling stream in trade hubs, the
above waste generation rate for the trade hubs have been modified to allow for a 50:50 split
for recycling and paper & cardboard.

To allow for the separation of recyclables and paper and cardboard from the general waste
stream in the warehouses, the above waste generation rate for the micro-warehouse and
warehouse units have been modified to allow for a 40:40:20 split for general waste, recycling
and paper & cardboard.

It has been assumed that the warehouse units will be in operation for seven (7) days per week
and the trade hubs will be in operation for five (5) days per week.

Applying the above waste generation rates, the waste generation estimates are outlined in
Tables 3.2 and 3.3 below.
