4.3 Traffic Distribution

The distribution of the proposed development related traffic on the existing road network has been
estimated based on the directional split inherent in the traffic surveys. We have made the assumption that
90% of traffic would arrive and depart the site using the main access on Myall Street with 10% using the

Ferrells Road access. The expected development traffic distribution is shown in Figure 4.3.

4.4 Intersection Performance
A series of SIDRA analyses were conducted for the following intersections:

== Myall Street / Site Access priority intersection
m= Myall Street / Ferrells Road priority intersection
== § Myall Street / Bruce Highway Ramps priority intersection

These were based on the turning movement forecasts presented in Appendix D for the following

scenarios:

Existing year (2014)

Opening year (2016) pre-development
Opening year (2016) post-development
Future year (2026) pre-development

Future year (2026) post-development

The results of these analyses are presented in Appendix C and discussed in more detail below. We have
not undertaken a SIDRA assessment of the Ferrells Road / Site Access intersection due to the low levels of

traffic anticipated to use this intersection.

4.4.1 Myall Street / Site Access

The SIDRA analysis of the Myall Street / Site Access priority intersection was undertaken using the
intersection layout as shown in Figure 4.4. The results of these analyses are attached in Appendix C, and

are summarised in Table 4.6.
