Attachment D - Traffic Engineering Statement

CDD Response – Item 3

The development traffic generation will be examined and will be reviewed in relation to the existing
road layout and Noosa Plan 2000 design requirements.

Traffic Generation
The traffic generated from the development can be determined by examining the car parking on site
with the number of students/servers and the operational of the development.

As per previous section the pre-development cars utilizing the site is 32 for 62 people (students and
servers). For this session, the students have provided in their applications that they will either be driving
their own car to the Centre or arriving in another’s car (car-pooling). This was provided by the client and
is shown below:

Dhamma Rasmi, Pomona, Queensland - Ten Day Course - 03 March 2021: 40

This equates a ~20% car-pooling reduction (40 students confirmed / 32 cars onsite) due to car-pooling at
the application stage and have assumed a ~10% further reduction post application via ride share forums.
The remaining students/servers will be dropped off. Therefore, the traffic generated from the
development has been calculated as per below table:

Table 1: Traffic Generation Calculation

   Item                                 Activity                         Calculation    Value    Column1
     A      Number of students and servers when developed                      -            125 people
     B      Car Parks required for 125 students                            Item 2            65 parks
     C      20% proportion due to car pool at application                  A x 20%           25 people
     D      10% proportion due car pool via forum                          A x 10%           13 people
     E      Total students/servers who park onsite and car pool            B+C+D            103 people
     F      Remaining stiudents/servers who get dropped off                  A-E             23 people
     G      Traffic Generated (Entry, Drop Off and Exit)                      F              23 VPD
     H      Traffic Generated (Entry and Park)                                B              65 VPD

The traffic will be distributed when the course starts on a Wednesday between the hours of 12pm and
5pm and when the course finishes after 10 days which will be on Sunday at 6.30am. Therefore, from the
above table, the development will result in 111 Vehicles Per Day (VPD), twice per fortnight, on Rules
Road post development. Comparatively via scale, the pre-development traffic volumes of the
development would be in the vicinity of 45 VPD, twice fortnightly. Including the existing traffic from the
four existing dwellings at 9 VPD per dwelling (RTA 2002 – 3.3.1 Dwelling house), the total traffic volumes
utilizing Rules Road can be calculated as per below table:
