Traffic Generation

The TMR Road Planning and Design Manual and RTA Guide to Traffic Generating Development provide
traffic generation rates for retirement / aged care facilities as follows:

         0.1 – 0.2 trips in the peak hour
         1 – 2 trips per day

Based on these rates, the predicted traffic generation for the proposed residential aged care development
is shown in Table 1.

                                    52 beds                   2 trips per unit      TMR/RTA            104
                                m2 GFA

In terms of the chapel / community hall use, the impact on the operation of the local road network is
likely to be minor based on the following:

         these uses are ancillary to the residential aged care facility
         events / functions would be expected to be relatively small scale (ie around 50 people)
         events / functions would be relatively infrequent (ie a maximum of one – two events per week)
         a number of users would be residents, visitors and staff of the aged care facility (and therefore
         already on-site)
