The number of trips using the ferry on a daily basis is estimated to be:

Eco-cabins 1.33 trips/cabin = 120 trips
Lodge 50 percent of trips = 20 trips
interpretative Centre/Cafe 25 percent oftrips = 39 trips
Staff/Service 25 percent of trips = 10 trips
Total Daily Ferry Trips = 189 trips

It is intended that suitable speed control measures shall be incorporated into the approach
areas of the Maximillian Road and Beach Road intersection along both frontages and the West
Visitor Precinct for distances of approximately 300 m from the intersection.

The traffic numbers forecasted are not likely to create peak period problems on the Noosa North
Shore. Peak periods will occur as at present around holidays, long weekends and other
associated peak times. As indicated above the rate of arrivals and departures will be controlled
by the ferry occupancy, loading and crossing times and will therefore convey the same rate of
traffic generation.

It is therefore considered that although the expected increase in numbers of trips will have an

impact on traffic volumes and intersection movements in Tewantin and on the Noosa North
Shore that this effect will be manageable.
