                Eumundi Noosa Road. Further, will not affect the existing landforms or the vegetation
                screening buffer provided to the Eumundi Noosa Road, with no significant change to
                the current access arrangements (PO18).
           •    The proposed development is centrally located within the operational area of the NRRC
                and complies with all building setbacks (PO19).
           •    The building design is consistent with the existing use of the site for community
                infrastructure (PO20).
           •    The buildings have been designed to suit the purpose and will complement the existing
                operation having an industrial appearance consistent with nature of the existing use
                (PO21 – PO26).
           •    Under the current development approval providing for the new Waste Transfer Station,
                “Reviva Shop” and expanded Cleanaway Depot, reinforced planting is to be provided
                at the frontage near the access along Eumundi Noosa Road, which will enhance and
                protect the visual amenity of the major road network. Further, the proposed
                development will not cause any adverse offsite lighting impacts (PO27-PO33);
           •    The proposed composing facility forms part of the existing utility installation and will
                not adversely impact transport or other infrastructure, will not pose a health or safety
                risk, will be secure in this location and will maintain public safety (PO36); and
           •    The proposed development is supported by adequate infrastructure and will not affect
                the continued operation, viability and maintenance of existing infrastructure, with the
                site already connected to reticulated sewerage, for trade waste purposes (PO50-PO51).

       The proposed development is consistent with the Community Facilities Zone Code. The
       proposed composting facility will provide significant community benefit and will form an
       important part of the organic waste management process and treatment at the NRRC.

       10.4 Infrastructure Activities Code
       Under the purpose of the Infrastructure Activities Code, major utilities such as the NRRC, are
       to be provided in a coordinated and efficient way to meet the needs of existing and future
       communities. Further, are to be developed and designed in a manner which will not cause any
       adverse impacts on public health or the amenity of surrounding premises.

       With respect to the most relevant performance outcomes, the following comments are
       provided:
          • The proposed infrastructure is to be provided within the existing operational area and
              provides opportunities for cost efficiencies and minimises the environmental impacts
              when considering site as a whole. The proposed composting facility is a logical and
              practical extension to the exiting operation at the NRRC and makes use of existing
              infrastructure (PO1).
          • There is sufficient separation between adjoining land uses with the development wholly
              contained within a smaller part of Lot 77, and well removed from urban uses, as
              planned, and the land is expected to be utilised for this purpose. Given the nature of
              the existing use, along with the proposed composting facility being centrally located
              and replacing the current green waste mulching within the site, it is not expected that
              the development will worsen any adverse odour or other noise impacts already
              emanating from the current operation (PO2).
