5.2 Year 2036 Capacity analysis – Tewantin / Noosaville
Capacity analysis has been undertaken under predicted year 2036 peak hour conditions for
both the non-holiday and the holiday / special event periods. This indicates degrees of
saturation (DOS) at strategic intersections within the Tewantin / Noosaville area at peak times,
with existing intersection configurations, as depicted in Figure 13.




Figure 13: Year 2036 AM and PM peak hour Degrees of Saturation in Tewantin / Noosaville


The critical traffic related issues in this part of the network, without upgrading of that network,
under projected 2036 traffic loadings are:

(i)         Beckmans Rd and St Andrews Dr rat running
(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)         Butler St / Poinciana Ave intersection
(vi)        Gibson Rd / Eumundi Noosa Rd intersection
(vii)       Eumundi Noosa Rd between Beckmans Rd and Goodchap St

Each of those issues, together with recommended solutions, are discussed in more detail
hereunder.
