3 Proposed development details
The application seeks to changes conditions 8, 24, 25, 27 and 28 of the approval to allow rigid and
semi-rigid delivery trucks to enter the site in reverse gear and exit in a forward gear. This can be
undertaken in a safe manner with some of the larger trucks having a trained traffic management
person onboard.

Traffic data was taken over a 15 day period with the following observations:

•   Approximately half of the daily deliveries are before 8.30am – outside peak traffic times;
•   Reversing into the site takes less than 1 minute;
•   Other businesses utilise the space when on street loading zones are busy;
•   On average 3 deliveries per day need to reverse onto the site which in total may impede traffic
    for a total of 3 minutes (1 minute blocks) per day;
•   A wide verge provides excellent sightlines for pedestrians;
•   Good sightlines each way for vehicles;
•   Importantly this is a slow speed environment with the site being between the roundabout and a
    10km/hr shared zone; and
•   In reality, vehicles in Hastings Street would not travel in excess of 10km/hr in any case.

The following Figure 1 shows data tables of the times and delivery type. The data and images of
the deliveries are provided as Appendix A.
