Capacity analysis under existing conditions indicates degrees of saturation (DOS) at strategic
intersections within the Tewantin / Noosaville area at peak times as depicted in Figure 6.




Figure 6: Year 2015 AM and PM peak hour Degrees of Saturation in Tewantin / Noosaville


The critical traffic related issues in this part of the network are:

(i)         Beckmans Road and rat-running along St Andrews Drive

(ii)        Poinciana Ave / Moorindil St intersection and westbound queuing along Poinciana Ave
            in the PM peak.

(iii)       Ernest St / Hilton Tce intersection

(iv)        Memorial Ave / Doonella St intersection

(v)         Eumundi Noosa Rd between Beckmans Rd and Gympie Tce

Each of those issues are discussed in more detail in the balance of Section 3.2 below. Note
that Section 3.2 discusses what the existing traffic issues are, but does not recommend
solutions, other than for Beckmans Rd. Possible solutions for intersection upgrades are
discussed in later sections of this report, with section 6.0 providing a summary of
recommended improvements.
