3. Planning Report_14124

       a pedestrian pathway has been provided to the frontage of all proposed buildings
        including a pedestrian crossing where relevant.

A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) report has been prepared for this application and is
provided in Appendix E. The TIA shows the proposal has been able to demonstrate that:

       the proposed parking meets the minimum vehicle parking requirements;
       the proposal has been designed to cater for an Articulated Vehicle (AV) in entering
        and exiting the site from Eumundi Noosa Road in a forward gear;
       sufficient servicing and waste collection standing, loading and manoeuvring areas
        are provided for each component of the development;
       the proposal is able to accommodate at least 16 vehicles in queuing for the
        proposed service station (not including those parked at the refuelling stations);
       the proposal is not considered to have an adverse impact on future year traffic
        operations of the local road network, with the results indicating that the Eumundi
        Noosa Road / Walter Hay Drive / Venture Drive roundabout is able to continue
        operating at an ‘excellent’ level whilst the Eumundi Noosa Road / Eenie Creek Road
        roundabout is able to operate at a ‘very good’ level of service once the proposal is
        operating; and
       recommendations from the report comprise line marking and signage on Eumundi
        Noosa Road.

3.4.2   LANDSCAPING
The proposal is supported by a Landscape Concept Plan (refer Appendix F), which
demonstrates the delivery of a modern, high presentation landscape treatment with a focus
on semi advanced native subtropical landscaping. The landscape treatment will comprise
the following main elements:

       3m wide planting areas (on average) to all available frontages;
       tree planting which is expected to achieve 50% screening of buildings at 5 years;
       greater than 1 tree for every 6 car parks;
       bio-retention basins fringed and augmented with perimeter tree plantings; and
       species selection representative of the best landscapes within the Noosaville locality.

3.4.3   SERVICING & WASTE STORAGE
The proposal will comprise a consolidated waste storage area, located both within and
adjacent to the service station building. Waste bins associated with the service station (x2)
building will be contained within a screened, roofed enclosure. Directly adjacent to this
enclosure is an additional waste storage area (comprising space for 3 waste bins),
anticipated to cater for the remaining on-site buildings. This area is enclosed within a
landscaped area to the south and east as well as the service station building to the west. A
1.8m high fence will be provided to the rear of the waste bins. This consolidated design is
considered to provide for ease of collection, maintaining the safety and efficiency of
pedestrians and vehicles on-site as well as being appropriately screened from view.
