5         SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on the assessment of the network it is concluded that the majority of the road links and intersection arrangements
as proposed will be able to accommodate the anticipated traffic volumes to at least the design year of 2028. The forecast
demand estimates are based on the ultimate development scenario as outlined above.

Based on the analysis the provision of the following items are recommended, generally in accordance with the key items
arising from the previous Material Change of Use application for the site, with the exception of the upgrade works to the
Elm Street (Cooroy Connection Road) / Lamonts Road intersection:

       It is recommended that a contribution to the upgrade to sealed pavement for the road section of Lamonts Road
        from Elm Street to the eastern site boundary be considered, in accordance with Council design standards and
        guidelines
       The provision of upgrade works to Elm Street (Cooroy Connection Road) / Pearsons Road intersection to
        incorporate a Channelised Right Turn (CHR) on a two lane rural road in accordance with Main Roads Technical
        Manuals, Policies and relevant Guidelines. The traffic analysis indicates that CHR of up to 10 vehicle storage
        lengths (60m) plus tapers is appropriate.
       The proportion of the development traffic at the Elm Street (Cooroy Connection Road) / Lamonts Road
        intersection is very low (less than 5%). The intersection, without the development traffic volumes, warrants turn
        treatment (CHR) in the base year 2018 traffic scenario. As such there are no mitigation measures proposed at
        this location.

The detailed design of all upgrade works including intersection turn treatments and road treatments are to be undertaken
in accordance with the relevant design standards and guidelines.
