The difference in peak hour trip generation between the Previous Approval and the Proposed
Development is summarised in Table 9.4.

In terms of other potential land uses that may be approved on site, and as detailed in Section 1.1, the
estimated traffic demands are expected to be generally comparable to the above estimates.


9.2 Summary
Based on the Council-recommended trip generation rates, the proposed Retail Business (Type 4)
development is expected to generate in the order of 605 trips (in and out) during the Saturday noon
peak period.

The Proposed Development is expected to generate approximately 200 fewer trips that the Previous
Approval in the Saturday peak period. The development is also expected to generate comparable trips
to the Previous Approval in the Thursday PM Peak.

As such, the Proposed Development is expected to have comparable impact on the surrounding
network than the traffic assessment associated with the Previous Approval.

It is important to note that no external road network upgrades were required as part of the Previous
Approval over the site. Given the Proposed Development is expected to generate lower traffic volumes
that the Previous Approval, no road network upgrades are considered to be required.
