Appendix D. Traffic Report

                                                             Proposed Service Station, 175 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville




3.2.2 Car Park Layout
A dimension check of the car park layout has been conducted, illustrated in MRCagney Figure 1 within Appendix
B of this report. Dimensions of the proposed car park layout would comply with (or slightly exceed) the
provisions of AS2890.1:2004 - User Class 3 (Ref. 1), as noted below:

 Car parking spaces are a minimum of 5.4m in length and 2.6m in width;

 Parking aisles are a minimum of 6.6m in width; and

 Disability car parking spaces are a minimum of 2.4m in width, with an identical adjacent bay
  (AS2890.6:2009).

3.2.3 Service Vehicle Provisions
The proposed service station has been designed to allow sufficient space for the manoeuvring of a 19.0m
articulated vehicle (AV), such as a fuel tanker. As demonstrated in MRCagney Figure 2, a 19.0m AV can stand
wholly on-site while situated at the refuelling point. It is proposed that the servicing area be blocked off
(approximate radius of 8.0m from the fill point) and closed to the public with traffic cones when a fuel tanker is
on-site and refuelling.

Provision has been made for 5.2m (B99) large cars to adequately circulate the site (all fuel pumps and car parking
spaces) as demonstrated in MRCagney Figure 6. Additionally, the figure illustrates the required manoeuvring
for vehicles to pass an AV (ingress and egress) during times of refuelling.

The manoeuvring of all vehicles expected to service the development have been assessed and the swept paths
of vehicles are illustrated in MRCagney Figures 3 to 5, included within Appendix B of this report.

Refuse collection will occur in the southern loading bay via a 9.9m front-loading refuse collection vehicle, as
specified by the Noosa Shire Council Planning Scheme Policy 9 - Waste Management.

3.3       Road Widening
MRCagney is not aware of any road widening being planned along Eumundi Noosa Road.

The road reserve width is approximately 38-40m. This width does allow for widening of the carriageway along
the site frontage. However, the control of the road network design, and hence capacity, are the two-lane
roundabouts along the corridor. The roundabouts would need to be converted to signalised intersections to
convert the road network to 6 lanes. These works would reflect a significant capacity upgrade which is likely to
be implemented within next 10 years.

Localised widening of the carriageway for either extension of cycle lanes or indented bus stops may currently
be up for consideration, but the proposed development does not preclude these minor works, if proposed,
because of the wide (~11m) verge.
