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.
