Traffic

31. Please provide a complete Traffic and Transport Impact Assessment of the proposed
development. The report should address (but not be limited to):-

31.1 Guest and short-stay visitors access throughout the site;

31.2 Forecasting regarding access modes to the site (for both guests and short-stay
visitors).

31.3 possible pedestrian movements, bicycle traffic and bus movements.

it is advised that this information should reference similar resort operations in South-East
Queensland.

31. A Traffic Impact Assessment prepared by Adam Pekol Consulting was provided in Volume III
of the original development application and therefore an additional Impact Assessment it is
not required. With regard to the issues raised:

31.1& A review of two resorts located within close proximity to the development site was
31.2 undertaken. The following observations were made:

+ 60% of guests staying at Noosa Blue arrive by coach/shuttle bus,
and the remaining 40% arrive by private car.

+ 70% of guests staying at the Sebe/ Resort Noosa arrive by private
car, and the remaining 30% arrived by coach/shuttle bus.

The marked differences in the access mode percentages is contributed to the
star rating of the resorts. The Sebel Resort Noosa has a 4% star rating, whereas
Noosa Blue has a 3 star rating. This difference in quality and price is considered
to attract differing tourist types, with the ‘higher end’ tourist more likely to hire a
car for the duration of their stay in Noosa.

The proposed resort will offer a similar 4% star facility as the Sebel Resort
Noosa. Accordingly, it is anticipated that approximately 70% of guests will
require on-site parking for the length of their stay. The proposed development
provides ample parking facilities to service to estimated demand.

31.3 A Linkages Plan prepared by Edaw AECOM is included as Attachment 14. This

pathway network is anticipated to support both pedestrians and bicycles through
the development.
