         In addition, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR)Guidelines for Assessment of Road


         Impacts of Development (GARID) defines the limit of acceptable operations for priority controlled
         intersections to be 80% of theoretical capacity.


         The results indicate that all of the intersections within the study area currently experience "excellent" (ie

         LOS A) operations under existing conditions during the weekday evening and Saturday peak hours.




2.7      Active and Public Transport


         2.7.1    Pedestrians and Cyclists


         In the vicinity of the site, there are footpaths that run along both sides of David Low Way. Breaks in the

         median to the south of the site and to the north of the junction with Woodland Drive facilitate pedestrian

         movements across David Low Way. There is also a                    footpath along the southern side of Woodland Drive
         as far west as the intersection with       Rufous Street. There is a northbound cycleway running along David

         Low Way, past the site.




         2.7.2    Public Transport


         Scheduled bus services operate on David Low Way, with bus stops located in close proximity to the site, as

         shown in Figure l.l. The Sunbus route 620 serves these bus stops, running with a half hourly frequency

         during weekdays and Saturdays from Tewantin to Maroochydore via Noosa Heads, Slillshine Beach,
         Marcus Beach, Peregian Beach, Coolum Beach and Marcoola.


         Thus, the site is well served by local pedestrian, bicycle and public transport facilities, which will help to

         minimise its dependence on private car travel.
