           •    The proposed development will have no impact on adjoining premises or scenic
                amenity with the existing facility, including the change, to remain screened from
                Eumundi Noosa Road (PO3).

       With respect to the design requirements (Table 9.3.11.3) the most relevant performance
       outcomes are discussed below:
          • The siting and design of buildings are compatible with the existing setting and
              landscaped character of the area, given the nature of the existing use (PO4).
          • The infrastructure has been designed and sited to minimise the visual amenity impacts
              (PO5).
          • The purpose of the proposed infrastructure is to maximise the reuse and recycling of
              by-products associated with the operation of the NRRC (utility installation) consistent
              with the zone and current operation (PO12).
          • The proposed development will improve the level of risk to public safety for the
              operation of the NRRC with improvements being made at the access and egress to
              prevent right turns, with traffic flow within the site also being improved more generally
              with increased vehicle queuing (PO11).
          • The proposed development does not require the clearing of any native vegetation,
              being located within an existing operational area of the NRRC (PO13).
          • The proposed composting facility will be conducted in an environmentally responsible
              manner without causing adverse impacts on environmental values outside of the
              existing operational area. The proposed composting facility will not significantly
              worsen odour emissions currently being generated from the site. An updated
              Stormwater Management Plan will ensure that stormwater runoff and the operation of
              the facility will not worsen water quality being discharged from the site to the waterway
              towards the north. Leachate from the facility will be effectively managed onsite and
              discharged to a holding tank and ultimately connected to reticulated sewerage as trade
              waste. The proposed composting facility is also to operate in accordance with an
              amended Environmental Authority (EA) to include ERA53 (composting) (PO14); and
          • The location and design of the composting facility will not result in the release of
              hazardous materials into flood waters, with the land and infrastructure being located
              above the 1% AEP level with excess leachate to managed and stored onsite and treated
              and or disposed of in a responsible manner (PO15).

       The proposed development is consistent with the Infrastructure Activities Code.
