        A 14.5m long coach can exit from Kabi Road to Cootharaba Road, utilising the full width of
         Cootharaba Road, noting that the vehicle can wait for both traffic lanes to be clear prior to exiting
         Kabi Road.
        A 12.5m bus / Heavy Rigid Vehicle can enter Kabi Road with its wheels fully contained within the
         Kabi Road carriageway without crossing the centre line in Kabi Road.
        A 12.5m bus / Heavy Rigid Vehicle can exit from Kabi Road to Cootharaba Road, utilising the full
         width of Cootharaba Road, noting that the vehicle can wait for both traffic lanes to be clear prior to
         exiting Kabi Road.
As such, appropriate vehicle accessibility by the site design vehicles is anticipated for the development
with the current intersection form.
Based on traffic volume projections, upgrades of the Kabi Road /Cootharaba Road intersection will be
required to achieve a 6.2m pavement width in Kabi Road and to achieve the minimum Type BAR treatment
in Cootharaba Road. The concept design for any intersection upgrade should include consideration of the
swept paths of both the 12.5m and 14.5m bus.

6.4        Vehicle Access
The proposal seeks to maintain connectivity to Kabi Road at its existing location, which is a continuation of
Kabi Road (gated), prior to a 90degree bend internally.
Swept path assessments demonstrating appropriate accessibility by the 14.5m coach (AUSTROADS 2013),
the site’s largest design vehicle, is provided at Appendix E.

6.5        Refuse
A screened wheelie-bin storage area has been provided for each Village. These bins are to be transported
by the site manager to the “Communal Area’s” loading area for collection.
Accessibility of the loading area by a 12.5m HRV has been demonstrated, with this representing the largest
service vehicle typically utilised for refuse collection.
