8            Traffic Impact Assessment
8.1 Estimated Traffic Generation
The RTA’s Guide to Traffic Generating Developments, recommends using specific generation rates for
planning purposes and has been used as the basis of this assessment. Application of these rates for the
proposed development is provided below.

Showroom

The RTA does not provide specific rates for a ‘showroom’ and the rates for a ‘bulky good retail store’ have
therefore been adopted in this instance.

The average peak period traffic generation rate noted for a ‘bulky good retail store’ is 2.5 vehicle trips per
100m2 GFA during a Thursday peak hour, resulting in a total of 67vph (in+out) in the peak hour period.

Office

The peak period traffic generation rate used for a ‘office’ is 2 vehicle trips per 100m2 GFA during the peak
hour, resulting in a total of 25vph (in+out) in the peak hour periods.

Conclusion

This equates to a total of 92 vph in the peak hour periods.

It assumed that the existing road network within and surrounding the Noosa Civic Centre has been designed
to accommodate the maximum yield of each Lot within the centre and the associated trip generation of the
proposed development will therefore have minimal impact on the existing road network.

Furthermore, Stockwell Development Group Pty Ltd have proposed several road and infrastructure upgrades
surrounding the proposed development site as noted in Section 3.2 and the proposed works mitigates the
generation of the proposed development.




Site: Lot 2 Noosa Civic, Noosaville                                                                              17
