Delegated Report - Code - Planning OPW25 0042 · OPW25/0042

               would have on the local road network. To satisfy the relevant provisions of the Transport Code, the
               applicant has prepared a Road Safety Audit (RSA), Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA), Pavement
               Impact Assessment (PIA), Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and Traffic Guidance Systems (TGS).
               Road Safety Audit (RSA)
               The RSA has been referred to Council’s Road Reserves team who have indicated support for the
               recommendations made in the RSA. The proposed haulage route navigates Grant Street which is
               a split level local road including on-street parking.
               The findings of the report largely relate to heavy vehicles (HV’s) trafficking Grant Street.
               Recommendations have been made for restricting on-street car parking near corners to allow safe
               turning widths for HV’s. Recommendations for extending traffic and pedestrian management
               controls are also included.
               An updated TMP and TGS including the findings of the RSA will need to be provided to Council
               prior to works commencing.
               Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)
               The TIA has been referred to Council’s Transport and Traffic team who have indicated support for
               the proposal. The daily haulage operations will include 150 trucks (75 loaded, 75 unloaded) with
               maximum peak hour movements of up to 10 vehicles per hour during the AM/PM/Weekday peaks.
               Traffic data for the Weyba-Reef-Mary roundabout in Noosaville has been forwarded to the
               consulting traffic engineer (Colliers) to assist in the planning and operational of haulage activities.
               Council have indicated significant concerns regarding an increase in traffic during the Christmas
               holiday period. An agreement between Council, Colliers, and the developer to revisit haulage
               operations during the holiday period if required is reflected in a condition of the approval.
               Pavement Impact Assessment (PIA)
               The PIA provides an assessment based on the concept of Standard Axle Repetitions (SARs) for
               local order roads where the overall pavement impact of truck movements will exceed 5% pavement
               design threshold. In this instance, this is relevant for Serenity Close, Banksia Avenue and Grant
               Street.
               The assessment considers and adopts the following parameters:
               •      5,000 loaded trips and 5,000 unloaded trips (assumed volume of 20m3)
               •      Austroads Heavy Vehicle Class 9 (i.e., truck and dog or articulated vehicle)
               •      SAR 4 Granular Pavement, Unloaded SAR – 0.51, Loaded SAR – 4.93
               •      Marginal Cost - $0.136 / SAR-km
               •      Length of Affect Road (i.e., Serenity Close, Banksia Avenue and Grant Street) – 0.85km
               The overall pavement impact is estimated to be ~2,200 SARs in the unloaded direction and
               ~21,000 SARs in the loaded direction. The report proposes a pavement impact offset of $3,145.00
               and recommends additional road repairs during the works (i.e., potholes). It is recommended the
               pavement impact offset is paid prior to Council attending the prestart meeting.
               The PIA has been prepared TMR’s Guidelines and is satisfactory in addressing the relevant
               provisions of The Noosa Plan 2020 – Transport Code.
               Traffic Management Plan (TMP) & Traffic Guidance Systems (TGS)
               The TMP & TGS has been referred to Council’s Traffic Infrastructure Services team who reviewed
               the documents in conjunction with the RSA and have indicated support for the proposal. An
               updated TMP and TGS including the findings of the RSA will need to be provided to Council prior
               to works commencing.
               The TMP & TGS must be implemented in accordance with a Road Reserve Permit from Council.
