Decision Evidence and Findings
Findings on material questions of fact:
The objective of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 (TIA) requires the establishment of a
road regime that is safe and efficient.
Section 62 of the TIA provides for the Chief Executive of the Department of Transport and
Main Roads (the department) to make decisions about permitted road access locations
between particular land and a state-controlled road.
The application involves a new or changed access to a state-controlled road (SCR) and is
considered an application under s62A of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994.
Access to Lot 6RP42647 will be gained through an informal service lane via a formalised
intersection to the south which connects to Yurol Forest Drive. There is no direct access to
the through lanes of Yurol Forest Drive.
Access to a local road is not available for Lot 6RP42647.
The proposed development is for a single dwelling which will generate limited additional
traffic on the state-controlled road.
The proposed development can be effectively implemented without significant impacts to the
safety and efficiency of the state-controlled road network with the conditioned requirements.
