6.0       PROVISION FOR SERVICE VEHICLES
6.1       Acceptable Outcome to Planning Scheme

The Noosa Planning Scheme does not nominate service vehicle requirements for the proposed use. As
a guide, the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme requires a development such as the proposed to make
provision for the following service vehicles :

      •   1 x Van;
      •   2 x Small Rigid Vehicles (SRV);
      •   2 x Medium Rigid Vehicle (MRV);
      •   1 x Heavy Rigid Vehicle (HRV).

The above provisions are based on floor area only and do not take into account the size and number
of tenancies.


6.2       Proposed Provision for Service Vehicle Access

Service vehicles will enter the site from the service lane that extends along the rear of the buildings to
the west of the site. They will then exit along the western side of the site to the Noosa Civic private
road.

The proposed plan of development provides the following loading bays at the rear of the building :

      •   1 x Medium Rigid Vehicle (MRV);
      •   1 x Heavy Rigid Vehicle (HRV).

In addition to the above, a shared loading area will allow multiple small delivery vehicles such as vans
and small rigid vehicles to access and service the site simultaneously.

It is considered that the proposed loading arrangements will function satisfactorily and provide
sufficient capacity for the scale of development proposed.

Swept path diagrams for a MRV and HRV are shown in Figures 6.1 – 6.4.
