Appendix D. Traffic Report

                                                              Proposed Service Station, 175 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville




5        Summary of Findings
MRCagney has been commissioned to undertake a traffic impact assessment of the proposed service station
and convenience store to be located at 175 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville.

The proposed site plan, prepared by Nettleton Tribe, is included within Appendix A of this report.

The opening year of the proposed development is anticipated to be 2019, therefore the critical design year for
traffic analysis purposes would be 2019.

The following is a summary of the findings of the assessment:

 Access Arrangement and External Roadworks
    The development will provide two vehicular crossovers. All staff and visitors to the proposed service station
    will enter the site via the eastern ingress and exit the site via the western egress. The design of the proposed
    accesses along Eumundi Noosa Road generally complies with and exceeds the requirements of the Noosa
    Shire Council Planning Scheme and Australian Standards.

    Based on the results of a turning warrants assessment, an AUL left-turn treatment is warranted for the
    Eumundi Noosa Road ingress. However, considering the wide verge (~11m) and crossovers along the
    corridor, is not considered necessary.

 Car Parking Supply
    Noosa Shire Council requires the proposed development provide 12 car parking spaces.

    As illustrated in the site plan (Appendix A), it is proposed to provide 10 car parking spaces, including a bay
    to check air and water in the eastern corner of the site, which is considered satisfactory.

    Temporal demand analysis suggests that the requirement of 12 car parking spaces does not consider the
    different times at which each land use experiences its peak demand for parking. This requirement also
    neglects to consider the tendency of customers to visit the store while also refuelling. The stated car parking
    provision does not include the 8 bays allocated at the fuel pumps, which would be used in this scenario.

 Servicing
    The servicing arrangement generally complies with the Noosa Shire Council Planning Scheme. The turn
    manoeuvres of all vehicles expected to service the development have been assessed and the swept paths
    of these vehicles are illustrated in MRCagney Figures 2 to 6, included within Appendix B of this report.

 Car Park Layout
    A dimension check of the car park layout has been conducted, as illustrated in MRCagney Figure 1 within
    Appendix B; the dimensions of the car park layout comply with the requirements of AS 2890.1:2004 (Ref. 1).

 Traffic Impact on External Road Network
    The traffic likely to be generated by the proposed service station would have negligible impact on the
    operational performance of the external road network and surveyed roundabouts during the weekday AM
