Minor Change Attachment 3 Traffic Engineering Advice

Traffic Generation
We are of the opinion that the net change in traffic demands as a result of the Proposed Development
will be minor when compared with the traffic impacts previously assessed in the Revised Traffic Report
(September 2019). The Proposed Development traffic demands are also noted to be significantly lower
than traffic generation of the Masters development proposed in the Previous Approval (MCU12/0051).

The Proposed Development is not expected to result in an increase in traffic to the site, compared to the
Revised Traffic Reporting or the Previous Approval.

As part of the Previous Approval, Council specified traffic generation rates to be adopted for the
assessment for the Home Improvement Store and Retail Business (Type 4) Showroom Uses, as
summarised in Table 4. The RTA and/or the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (GTGD) rates
were adopted for the other proposed on-site uses.

The office uses on-site are not expected to generate significant peak hour vehicle trips on the weekend.
The adopted office use weekday PM generation rate is consistent with both the GTGD and traffic
generation data compiled by DTMR (Traffic Generation Data – 2006-2018).

The food uses on-site are expected to provide an ancillary function and therefore are not expected to
generate significant vehicle trips during the adjacent road peaks, the adopted rate is sourced from the
RTA GTGD rates for café / restaurant uses.

For the industrial uses, we conservatively adopted the weekday AM peak generation as outlined in RMS
GTGD rates for the Saturday Noon peak hour.
