3. Proposed Redevelopment
3.1 Description
The proposed redevelopment of Carramar Aged Care Facility consists of the construction of two
new special care buildings and a new administration & entry block. The redevelopment will
provide the existing facility with an additional:

    
   32 beds; and
    
   20 staff.

The ultimate design of Carramar Aged Care Facility will therefore comprise the following:

    
   142 beds; and
    
   48 staff.

It is noted that the proposed new administration and entry block are primarily ancillary uses and
are not expected to generate additional traffic; particularly during the AM and PM peak hour
periods.

The Overall Site Plan (Drawing No. SK01, Revision E), prepared by LVO’ Architecture Pty Ltd, is
included in Appendix A of this report.



3.2 Development Access
The current access from the northern side of Cooroy-Noosa Road is proposed to remain and will
permit both ingress and egress movements. The access configuration is two lanes (one in each
direction) at the intersection with Cooroy-Noosa Road.

The desirable sight distances at access driveways (other than for domestic) recommended within
AS2890.1:2004 and AS2890.2-2002 is 83m for a 60km/h frontage road speed. To the west of
the proposed access, the sight distance is estimated to be approximately 185m, which is well
beyond the minimum standard. To the east, the sight distance is in the order of 135m.

The access location is shown on the Overall Site Plan (Drawing No. SK01, Revision E) included
in Appendix A of this report.
