            1           Introduction
            Modus has been commissioned by Indigo Group, to provide traffic and transport advice in relation to the proposed
            rural residential development located at 44 Hoy Road, Lake MacDonald.

            Noosa Council (Council) issued an Information Request (ref: RAL25/0001), dated the 7 February 2025, requesting
            further information on the traffic-related components for the proposed development application. A copy of the
            information request is provided in Appendix A.

            This technical memorandum has been produced by Modus to provide a response to the traffic related items
            enclosed within the Council Information Request. Each traffic related item has been reproduced in the subsequent
            section and Modus’ response is provided immediately thereafter.


            2           Item 4 - Sight Distance for Internal Intersection
            Provide detail demonstrating the available sight distances about the Hoy Road/Site Access intersection. The detail
            must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ) and include, but not be limited to:

                  a) longitudinal sections demonstrating that 123 metres of unbroken sight distance is available in both
                     directions;
                  b) a layout plan demonstrating that 123 metres of unbroken sight distance is available in both directions; and
                  c) detail of any existing vegetation that must be removed (or maintained) to achieve the minimum sight
                     distances.

            Modus Response
            A sight distance drawing has been prepared for the Hoy Road / Sight Access intersection in Appendix B. The sight
            distance drawing illustrates the achievable sight distance in longitudinal sections based on survey data and layout
            plan based on aerial imagery. The drawing illustrates that sufficient sight distance is achievable from the site
            access to the east but only achieves 70m to the west. The achievable sight distance to the west is below the
            Austroads requirements based on an existing crest along Hoy Road.

            To confirm the sight lines, Modus undertook a site visit on the 11 March 2025 for the Hoy Road / Site Access
            intersection. The site visit confirmed the achievable site distance and inadequate sight distance to the west as
            illustrated in Figure 2-1.
