     Noosa Springs Resort Complex — Traffic Engineering response to further matters raised by
     Council



     Prefacing Comment
1.   The advice in this report follows on from previous reports that have been produced by Traffic & Transport Plus
     (TTPlus) for the proposed development, namely our traffic engineering assessment dated 18-Jun-2021 and our
     response to Council’s RFI dated 22-Nov-2021. I have received a further request from Council for more
     information about the proposal in an email from Council officer Patrick Murphy dated 18 March 2022. It contains
     four specific queries.


     Query 1
2.   I note that with regards to Council’s first query “Need clarity as to whether the resort facilities can be used by
     the public – this would need to be factored into a reviewed car parking analysis”. The proposal is described in
     our 18-Jun-2021 report paragraph 9 “The proposal under assessment is to redevelop the north-eastern portion
     of the land parcel, whilst leaving the southern and western areas largely unchanged. A 112 room hotel, spread
     over 5 buildings is proposed, including ancillary facilities (bar, dining, café, pools) and associated servicing
     arrangements. Post construction, the existing golf, day spa and function facilities are to be retained.”. The only
     addition is the hotel — the existing facilities on site remain open to the public and are assumed to produce traffic
     and parking demand at the rate previously observed and therefore their operation is accounted for under
     existing/observed conditions.
3.   In TTPlus’s experience, it is not routine for significant numbers of externally based patrons to frequent an internal
     resort restaurant — it is not to say that there may not be some instances where this may occur, but at a design
     level, it is considered to be somewhat insignificant. In any event, as will be seen in the car parking availability
     analysis presented later in this advice, during the time at which such behaviour may occur (evening), there is
     ample spare car parking available on site.
