1. Introduction
Fernway Engineering has been engaged by Capital Prudential Funds Management to
provide a traffic impact statement in relation to the proposed Innovation Office and
Caretaker’s residence development at 7 Woodland Drive in Peregian Beach (‘subject
site).

The scope of this report is as follows:

    •    Review the project background along with the existing traffic and parking
         conditions in the vicinity of the subject site;
    •    Describe the public transport services and active transport infrastructure
         available to access the subject site;
    •    Assess the likely car parking demand generated by the proposed development,
         based on statutory parking requirements;
    •    Understand the existing levels of on-and off-street public parking availability
         within walking distance of the subject site, and their occupancy levels, through a
         parking survey conducted across typical weekday business hours.
    •    Review the design of the proposed on-site car park and vehicular access design
         with reference to the relevant standards;
    •    Provide an estimate of the additional peak hour and daily traffic impact
         generated as a result of the proposed development; and
    •    Make a conclusion based on the above findings.

2. Background
The subject site is currently vacant and includes 709 sqm of land area. It is situated at
the corner of Woodland Drive / Rufous Street intersection. Rufous Street at the site
frontage is a local access road with a cul-de-sac end and is approx 125m long. It
includes an undivided carriageway with one traffic lane in each direction.

Figure 1 illustrates the location of the subject site in an aerial view.



The subject site is zoned ‘Innovation’ under the Noosa Plan 2020. The land uses
surrounding the site include ‘Recreation and open space’ to the west and south, ‘Low-
density residential’ to the north and north-west, and ‘Innovation’ to the east.

Figure 2 shows the land use zoning map for the site locality.



The current proposal seeks to construct a mixed-use building within the subject site to
provide six (6) office units and one caretaker’s dwelling. On-site car parking is proposed
to accommodate a total of 12 car spaces (including a disability-accessible car space + 2
tandem car spaces). Vehicle access to the site is proposed off Rufous Street via a two-
way driveway.

Figure 3 shows the proposed site layout plan while Table 1 provides a summary of the
proposed land uses and areas.

3. Public and Active Transport
      Accessibility
The locality of the subject site was assessed for public transport options likely to be
utilised by prospective staff members at the proposed office units.

Bus route 620 (Noosa Heads to Maroochydore) operates on David Low Way with bus
stops in both directions located approx. 200m (2-minute walk) from the subject site. This
service operates between 5.45am to 10.40pm Monday to Friday, with a frequency of one
service every 30 minutes during peak periods (hourly services outside the peak periods).
A paved footpath is available from the subject site to the bus stops on David Low Way.
Also, David Low Way includes a formal cycleway on both sides.

Figure 4 shows the public and active transport infrastructure available within the site
vicinity.

4. Parking Provision Requirements
The parking provision requirements for the proposed development have been
determined with reference to the parking rates presented in Table 9.4.1.4 (Minimum
parking requirements including end-of-trip facilities) within Section 9.4.1 Driveways and
Parking Code of the Noosa Plan 2020.


4.1 Car parking requirements
Table 9.4.1.4 of the Noosa Plan provides the following car parking rates:

   •   Caretaker’s accommodation – one covered car space
   •   Office - If:
                         located in the Major Centre Zone in Noosa Heads:
                             • one space per 20m2 for the ground floor; and
                             • one space per 30m2 for the second and third floors; or
                         otherwise one space per 20m²


Application of the above rates to the proposed development (which is not located
within the Major Centre Zone in Noosa Heads) with 1 caretaker dwelling and 383.07 sqm
of office space leads to a requirement of 21 car spaces (rounded up to the nearest
whole number). This requirement consists of 20 spaces for office use and 1 space for the
caretaker.

The proposed development includes a total of 12 car spaces (11 for office + 1 for
caretaker). This proposed parking provision includes a shortfall of 9 car spaces for office
use. As such, dispensation is sought as a part of this application, in relation to 9 office car
spaces.

Justification for office car parking shortfall

Based on the parking rate provided in the Noosa Plan, the proposed office use should
provide a total of 20 car spaces.




7 Woodland Drive, Peregian Beach QLD 4573                                         Page | 7

Page 12

For comparison, The parking rate provided in the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating
Developments (TfNSW, 2002) in relation to commercial uses has been investigated. This
guide states that in unrestrained situations (i.e. where the parking demand is to be fully
met on-site), commercial uses should provide 1 space per 40m2 gross floor area.
Application of this rate to the proposed development with 383.07 sqm of office space
leads to a requirement of 10 car spaces. The proposal provides a total of 11 car spaces
for office use – which exceeds the relevant requirement under the parking rate
provided in the RMS Guide. As such, the proposed on-site parking provisions for the
office component are considered adequate in this instance.

Further, considering the public transport accessibility for the site as well as the
availability of time unrestricted on and off-street parking spaces on Rufous Street, it is
expected that in case of a parking demand overspill from the site, it can be readily
accommodated within the surrounding local area.

Section 5 presents results from a parking inventory and occupancy survey undertaken
for the immediate locality of the subject site (250m distance, 3-minute walk). From these
results, it is evident that there are some 114 public car parking spaces within easy
walking distance of the subject site. The worst-case peak occupancy level was
recorded at 10am, where only 18 car spaces were vacant. Across all time periods, there
are at least 18 vacant public car parking spaces in the locality of the site. As such, the
shortfall of 9 car spaces from the proposed development, can be readily
accommodated within the existing public parking within the local area of the site,
without exhausting the overall availability of public parking for other uses.


4.2 Motorcycle parking requirements
Table 9.4.1.4 of the Noosa Plan provides the following motorcycle parking rates:

   •   Accommodation activity (caretaker’s dwelling): one space per two dwellings
   •   Business activity (office use): One space per 100 sqm or part thereof use area

Application of the above rates to the proposed development with a single caretaker’s
dwelling and office use with 383.07 sqm of area leads to a requirement of 4 motorcycle
spaces (rounded up to the nearest whole number). The site plans indicate provision for 4




7 Woodland Drive, Peregian Beach QLD 4573                                        Page | 8

Page 13

motorcycle spaces. As such, a dispensation is sought for a single motorcycle space as a
part of this application.


4.3 Bicycle parking requirements

Table 9.4.1.4 of the Noosa Plan provides the following bicycle parking rates:

   •   Accommodation activity (caretaker’s dwelling): one space per two dwellings
   •   Business activity (office use): one space per 50m² up to 500m²

Application of the above rates to the proposed development with a single caretaker’s
dwelling and office use with 383.07 sqm of area leads to a requirement of 8 bicycle
spaces (rounded up to the nearest whole number). The site plans indicate provision for 8
bicycle spaces which satisfies the above requirement.

5. Public Parking Availability
The availability and occupancy of the nearby public on and off-street parking spaces
were investigated through a parking survey that was carried out on a typical weekday
(outside of school holidays), between 7am to 6pm. The parking survey considered all
available on and off-street parking opportunities within 250m (3-minute walk) of the
subject site, as shown in Figure 5.

Table 2 shows the summary of the parking survey results – note that the results
presented in this table have omitted the parking available within Z1 (North of Peregian
Tennis Club) as this car park includes only reserved parking. Detailed parking survey
results are presented in Appendix A of this report.

Figure 6 shows the level of occupied and vacant car spaces recorded across each hour
of the survey. From these results, it is evident that there are some 114 public car parking
spaces within easy walking distance of the subject site. Only 9 of these 114 car spaces
are time restricted (at 1 hour, between 7am to 5pm, Mon-Fri). The peak occupancy
period is observed generally between 9am to noon. The worst-case peak occupancy
level was recorded at 10am, where only 18 car spaces were vacant. Across all time
periods, there are at least 18 vacant public car parking spaces in the locality of the site.

6. Parking Design Review
This section provides a review of the proposed on-site car parking design with
reference to the relevant design standards. Figure 7 shows the proposed car parking
layout plan with key dimensions outlined.




Figure 7: Key dimensions of the proposed car parking layout


6.1 Caretaker’s car space

Based on AS 2890.1, the user class for the caretaker’s car spaces is 1A (residential/all-
day parking). User class 1A car spaces must be designed at 2.4m width, 5.4m length and
5.8m aisle width. In addition, Figure 5.2 of AS 2890.1 outlines the design envelop around
parked vehicles to be kept clear of columns, walls and obstructions.




7 Woodland Drive, Peregian Beach QLD 4573                                     Page | 13

Page 18

The proposed caretaker’s car space is designed at 2.4m width (with clearance around
the car space provided as per Figure 5.2 of AS 2890.1) and 5.4m length. This car space
has access to a 6.1m wide aisle behind it.


6.2 Office car spaces
Based on AS 2890.1, the critical user class for the office car spaces is 2 (medium-term
parking), assuming they are also used by visitors. User class 2 car spaces must be
designed at 2.5m width, 5.4m length and 5.8m aisle width. Alternatively, the car space
can be designed at 4.8m of length, where parking is to a low kerb which allows 600 mm
overhang (provided the first 600 mm immediately behind it is unobstructed, is not
another parking space and is not required as a footway or for some similar purpose). In
addition, Figure 5.2 of AS 2890.1 outlines the design envelop around parked vehicles to
be kept clear of columns, walls and obstructions.

The proposed office car spaces are designed to satisfy the above-identified minimum
dimensional requirements (including the reduced length at 4.8m with 600mm overhang
into the grass-patched area beyond the wheelstop).


6.3 Disability-accessible car space
Based on AS 2890.6 – 2009, the disability-accessible car spaces should be designed as
follows:

   •   The disability-accessible car parking space should be designed at 2.4m width
       and 5.4m length (with 5.8m aisle width);
   •   A shared space of equal dimensions shall be provided adjacent to the car
       parking space; and
   •   Both the car parking space and the shared space should indicate appropriate line
       markings. The shared space should include a bollard in order to prevent
       motorists from parking at this location.

The proposed single disability-accessible car space complies with the above
requirements.




7 Woodland Drive, Peregian Beach QLD 4573                                    Page | 14

Page 19

6.4 Blind aisle clearance

AS 2890.1 requires the end of the vehicle aisle to be extended by an additional 1m
beyond the last car space (so that the vehicle using this space can reverse out into the
extended aisle area for forward exit). The proposed design provides an aisle extension
of 1m length, beyond the last two car spaces (i.e. the disability-accessible space and the
caretaker’s space).


6.5 Gradients within parking modules
AS 2890.1 states that parking modules, at maximum, should have a grade of 1 in 16
(measured in any direction other than parallel to the angle of parking). In addition, AS
2890.6 states that the disability-accessible car parking space and the shared area shall
not exceed the grade of 1:40 in any direction. The proposed car parking modules are at
grade and are therefore capable of complying with the above requirement.


6.6 Gradient of the access driveway

In relation to the gradient of the access driveway, AS 2890.1 requires the first 6m into the
car park to include a maximum grade of 5% (1 in 20). The first 6m of the proposed two-
way driveway into the car park is at grade and therefore complies with the above
requirement.


6.7 Driveway width
This proposed driveway off Rufous Street is of two-way nature and can be designed to
satisfy the minimum width of 5.5m for two-way driveways as prescribed in AS 2890.1.


6.8 Vehicle maneuverability
In order to investigate the manoeuvrability conditions of a vehicle entering and exiting
the proposed car spaces, swept path assessments were undertaken using the
AutoTURN software (the industry standard vehicle swept path assessment software).




7 Woodland Drive, Peregian Beach QLD 4573                                     Page | 15

Page 20

For the simulation of the vehicle swept paths, the template of a 99th percentile vehicle
(B99) was used (in line with the dimensions specified in AS 2890.1-2004). Figure 8 shows
this template which represents the largest passenger vehicle size in Australia (typically
an SUV or a similar vehicle).




Figure 8: Template of the B99 vehicle used in swept paths (AS 2890.1:2004)


The swept path results are presented in Appendix B of this report. It is noted that the
Blue and Cyan colour lines in the swept paths indicate the front and rear tyre tracks of
the vehicle, respectively, while the Black colour of the swept paths indicates the vehicle
body (the Green colour line indicated the centreline of the swept path while the dashed
Red colour lines indicate the 300mm vehicle body clearance envelop).

From the swept path results, the following can be concluded:

   1) A large passenger vehicle can turn around at the end of the car parking aisle,
       using the turning bay, to exit the site in forward gear when all other car spaces
       are occupied.
   2) Except for the cornermost caretaker’s car space, the other spaces can be
       accessed without any additional corrections. This level of maneuverability is
       considered typical and acceptable for a car park of this size (the user of the
       caretaker’s car space will be a regular user who is familiar with the parking
       layout).




7 Woodland Drive, Peregian Beach QLD 4573                                    Page | 16

Page 21

6.9 Site servicing

Waste collection for the site will occur at kerbside on Rufous Street at the site frontage.
As such, vehicles other than passenger vehicles are not expected to access the car
park.

Site servicing vehicles will include vans and utes (no trucks) that are represented by the
B99 vehicle template. They can be scheduled to enter the car park outside business
hours so that conflicts between vehicles can be avoided. These service vehicles are
capable of turning around at the end of the parking aisle, using the turning bay, to exit
the site in forward gear without reliance on other car spaces (as shown in the swept
path results).


6.10 Headroom clearance
The proposed office car spaces and the caretaker’s car space are designed to achieve a
minimum headroom clearance of 2.2m as required by AS 2890.1. AS 2890.6 requires a
minimum headroom clearance of 2.5m above the disability-accessible car space
(including the shared space). This level of headroom is available above the disability-
accessible and shared spaces.


6.11 Motorcycle spaces

AS 2890.1 states a requirement of 2.5m length and 1.2m width for motorcycle spaces.
The proposed 4 motorcycle spaces are capable of complying with the above-identified
minimum dimensional requirements.


6.12 Bicycle spaces

AS 2890.3:2015 states a bicycle spacing envelop requirement of 1.8m length and 0.5m
width. The proposed bicycle spaces comply with the above-identified minimum
dimensions.

Page 22

6.13 Pedestrian sight distance availability

AS 2890.1 requires a sight triangle of 2.5m length by 2m width, to be provided at the site
egress location, to ensure sufficient sight distance is available for pedestrians. This
requirement is illustrated in Figure 9.




Figure 9: Pedestrian sight distance requirement (AS 2890.1:2004)


Figure 10 illustrates the preservation of the pedestrian sight triangle at the proposed
vehicle egress point off Rufous Street. It is noted that since the proposed driveway is
designed to cater for two-way movements, the pedestrian sight triangle is only required
towards the left-hand side of a vehicle exiting the site. As can be seen, the required
sight triangle is preserved of obstructions within the proposed design, within the subject
site. Any landscaping/trees within this area should be less than 1.15m in height (this is
the driver's eye height as per AS 2890.1).

Figure 10: Proposed pedestrian sight distance preservation at the site egress point


6.14 Driveway location

AS 2890.1 requires driveways near intersections to be located with a 6m offset from the
tangent point of the kerbline of the frontage road. This requirement is extracted to
Figure 11. The driveway to the proposed development achieves an offset of 6.83m from
the tangent point of Rufous Street, as shown in Figure 7. Therefore, the proposed
driveway location complies with the relevant Australian Standard requirement.

Page 24

Figure 11: Prohibited locations of access driveways (AS 2890.1:2004)


6.15 Sight distance for exiting vehicles
AS 2890.1:2004 provides safe sight distances (SSD) for vehicles entering traffic from a
driveway. These requirements have been extracted in Figure 12.

Rufous Street does not include a posted speed limit. Therefore, for the sight distance
assessment, the default local road speed limit of 50 km/h has been adopted
conservatively. On this basis, to ensure a desirable 5-second gap, a sight distance of
69m is required (to both left and right-hand sides) along the frontage road for a driver
exiting the subject site.

Figure 12: Sight distance requirements for domestic driveways (AS 2890.1:2004)


Figure 13 shows the sight distance availability for vehicles exiting the site onto Rufous
Street.

As can be seen, a clear sight line towards the right-hand side of a driver exiting the site
can be achieved up to the Woodlane Drive / Rufous Street intersection, without any
permanent obstructions in the public domain. Also, the required 69m sight distance can
be achieved towards the left-hand side of a driver exiting the site without any
permanent obstructions outside the site boundary. However, the sight envelop
encroaches over the southwestern corner of the site. Figure 14 shows the site plan and
the required sight envelop. As can be seen, the section of the southwestern corner of
the site that encroaches over the sight envelop is proposed to accommodate
landscaping. Any landscaping within this section should be conditioned to be less than
1.15m in height (this is the driver's eye height as per AS 2890.1).

Figure 15 shows a street view image of Rufous Street. It shows the location of a vehicle
on Rufous Street 69m away from the frontage of the driveway to the subject site. As can
be seen, a clear line of sight can be achieved between this vehicle on Rufous Street and
a vehicle exiting the site.

7. Traffic Impact Assessment
The expected peak hour and daily traffic generation potential of the proposal have been
estimated using the trip rates from the Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (RMS
2002). In relation to commercial uses, the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating
Developments (2002) provides the following trip rates:

   •   Evening peak hour vehicle trips = 2 per 100 sqm GFA
   •   Daily vehicle trips = 10 per 100sqm GFA

In relation to residential dwellings, the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments
(2002) provides the following trip rates:

   •   Peak hour vehicle trips = 0.85 per dwelling
   •   Daily vehicle trips = 9 per dwelling

Table 2 summarises the traffic generation calculation for the proposed development,
on the basis of the above-identified trip rates.

Table 2: Daily and peak hour traffic generation potential of the proposal

Page 29

As identified above, the proposed development has the potential to generate 9 peak-
hour trips and 48 daily trips. The above-identified levels of peak-hour and daily trips are
not expected to have any material impacts on the existing traffic conditions of the local
road network particularly since Rufous Street is a no-through local access road.

8. Conclusions
Based on this traffic impact statement, the following can be concluded:

   1) The site has convenient access to Bus route 620 (Noosa Heads to
       Maroochydore) with bus stops in both directions located within approx. 200m (2-
       minute walk). A paved footpath is available from the subject site to the bus stops
       on David Low Way. Also, David Low Way includes a formal cycleway on both
       sides.
   2) The proposal has a statutory parking requirement of 21 car spaces (1 caretaker
       space + 20 office spaces), 4 motorcycle spaces and 8 bicycle spaces.
   3) The development provides a total of 12 car spaces (1 caretaker space + 11 office
       spaces including a single disability accessible space), 4 motorcycle spaces and 8
       bicycle spaces.
   4) The proposed car parking provisions include a shortfall of 9 car spaces for the
       office component, against the Noosa Plan requirements. As such, a dispensation
       is sought as a part of this application for 9 office car spaces. This is justifiable due
       to the following:
          a. Based on the parking inventory and occupancy survey undertaken for the
                immediate locality of the subject site (250m distance, 3-minute walk) on a
                typical weekday (outside school holidays) across business hours, it is
                evident that there are some 114 public car parking spaces within easy
                walking distance. The worst-case peak occupancy level was recorded at
                10am, where only 18 car spaces were vacant. Across all time periods,
                there are at least 18 vacant public car parking spaces in the locality of the
                site. As such, the shortfall of 9 car spaces from the proposed
                development, can be readily accommodated within the existing public
                parking within the local area of the site, without exhausting the overall
                availability of public parking for other uses.
          b. Application of the parking rate provided for commercial uses within the
                RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (TfNSW, 2002) to the
                proposed office component of the development leads to a requirement

Page 31

                of 10 car spaces. The proposal provides a total of 11 car spaces for office
                use – which exceeds the relevant requirement under the parking rate
                provided in the RMS Guide. As such, the proposed on-site parking
                provisions for the office component are considered adequate in this
                instance. It is noted that the site has convenient public transport
                accessibility which offers those accessing the site an alternative option to
                private vehicle trips.
   5) The proposed car parking design achieves compliance in relation to the relevant
      design standards. The swept path results reveal generally satisfactory levels of
      maneuverability for the vehicles accessing the proposed car spaces. A large
      passenger vehicle can turn around at the end of the car parking aisle, using the
      turnaround bay, when all other car spaces are occupied.
   6) The proposed driveway location complies with the relevant requirement in AS
      2890.1.
   7) A driver exiting the site can achieve sufficient levels of sight distance towards
      both sides of Rufous Street. Any landscaping within the section of the
      southwestern corner of the site that encroaches over the sight envelop should
      be conditioned to be less than 1.15m in height (this is the driver's eye height as
      per AS 2890.1).
   8) The proposal is expected to generate some 48 daily trips and 9 trips (both in and
      out) during each AM and PM peak hour periods. These many trips are not
      considered significant and are not expected to have any material impacts on the
      existing local traffic operations on Rufous Street.
