Appendix D Site Access & Intersection Investigation

                        Figure 3: Existing driveways and proposed new Driveway locations




This assessment focuses on the engineering outcomes of the new access for grade and sight distances
requirements on Uhlmanns Road, and the impacts to the intersection of Uhlmanns Road and Northmount
Road with the additional traffic generated by the new (additional) Lot.

The proposed access to new lot is located on the Uhlmanns Road road reserve that has an average grade
of 25% with steeper grades through the middle section of the proposed access driveway.

The verbal advice from Noosa Council suggested if the access driveway is to (1) Lot only it can be
designed and assessed as a driveway, it is recommended this be confirmed during the development
application process. It is understood this proposal is for driveway access to (1) new Lot only.

The Noosa Planning scheme provides guidance for the design of domestic driveways and specifically
within the Noosa Plan 2020 – Noosa Planning Scheme – Part 9 Development Codes – 9.4 Works Code –
9.4.1 Driveways and Parking Code.
