Response to Information Request 5-7 Rufous Street Peregian Beach - Attachment E MCU13/0092

Table 3 demonstrates that the David Low Way / Woodland Drive intersection is expected                                    to   experience
"excellent" or "very good" operations during the weekday evening and Saturday peak periods. The addition of

the development related traffic is not expected to significantly affect the critical degree of saturation.


As the post-development scenarios have a degree of saturation below 70%,it is considered that there is sufficient


capacity to accommodate traffic volumes during peak holiday periods.




Woodland Drive /Rufous Street


The results of the updated SIDRA analyses performed to quantify the existing and future year (ie 2015 and 2025)

peak hour operations of this intersection are summarised in Table 4 and presented in full in Attachment C.

The results in Table 4 indicate that even with the addition of development related traffic, the Woodland Drive /

Rufous Street intersection will experience "excellent" conditions.




AMENITY IMPACT



Woodland Drive is a collector road and is designed to accommodate up to 4,000 daily vehicle flows according to

the Noosa Plan (Planning Scheme Policy 5). In the 2025 post-development scenario, the section of Woodland

Drive between David Low Way and Rufous Street is predicted to accommodate less than 4,000 daily movements

(based on a 10% peak hour flow /daily flow factor) as shown in Table 5.
