F - Traffic Response and Revised Traffic Impact Assessment (17.09.19)

20 Hofmann Drive, Noosaville | Traffic Impact Assessment


9.3 Traffic Generation
We are of the opinion that the net change in traffic demands as a result of the Proposed Development
will be relatively minor when compared with the Previous Approval.

As part of the Previous Approval, Council specified traffic generation rates to be adopted for the
assessment for the Home Improvement Store and Retail Business (Type 4) Showroom Uses, as
summarised in Table 9.1. RTA and RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (GTGD) rates have
been adopted for the other proposed onsite uses.

The office uses on site are not expected to generate significant vehicle trips during the weekend. The
adopted Office use weekday PM generation rate is consistent with both the RMS Guide to Traffic
Generating Developments (GTGD) and traffic generation data compiled by the Department of Transport
and Main Road (DTMR) (Traffic Generation Data—2006–2018).

The food uses on site are expected to provide an ancillary function and therefore not expected to
generate significant vehicle trips during the adjacent road peaks, a rate based on the RTA GTGD rates for
café/restaurant uses.
