 Saturday Peak Hour                                                        365                 3,653




There are three residential properties which take access from the northern side of Woodland Drive, to the east of

Rufous Street and to the west of David Low Way. The nearest driveway access to the David Low Way (to no. 2

Woodland       Drive) is located approximately 22m back from the give-way line. Any queuing back on the
Woodland Drive approach to the David Low Way intersection could impact access to and from these properties.

However, the 95th percentile queues predicted in the Thursday and Saturday 2025 post-development scenarios

are less than three vehicles       long (ie less than 18m). Therefore, it is not anticipated that access to these properties
will be adversely impacted by traffic generated by the proposed development.


The properties on Woodland Drive located to the west of Rufous Street are unlikely to be adversely impacted by

additional traffic movements generated by the proposed development, with negligible increases in vehicle flows

predicted in this direction.




CONCLUSIONS



In response to the items raised in the Information Request from SCRC the proposed                   development has been
redesigned and the assumptions of the Traffic Impact Assessment revised. The main points to note are:

_        The proposed development layout is consistent with AS2890 and the Noosa Plan

_        The traffic impacts resulting from the proposed development are relatively minor and can be addressed by

         the works proposed




If you have any questions regarding the issues discussed above, please do not hesitate to contact us.


Yours sincerely,
