Site Refuse Generation

The information contained within this letter is based on a proposed development, comprised of 4 short term
accommodation units and 2 food and drink tenancies totalling 137m2 of Retail GFA. The estimated
requirement for site refuse storage and collection is shown in Table 1 and Table 2 below. Refuse estimates
have been based on the generation rates commonly applied to equivalent uses throughout southeast
Queensland and differ from the generation rates found within the Noosa Plan.

A maximum collection service frequency of 4 times per week has been proposed to provide a minimum 2 days
storage between collections and achieves Noosa Council’s minimum service level. The collection frequencies
nominated are based on experience with comparable developments and result in refuse storage intervals that
TTM consider to be appropriate for limiting the generation of nuisance odour that may detrimentally impact
the amenity of adjoining uses.
