3.2          Road Planning
Stockwell Development Group Pty Ltd have proposed several road and infrastructure upgrades to be
constructed within the immediate vicinity of the development site. As shown in the plans in Appendix C, it is
proposed that three new roads will be constructed linking to the southern end of Hofmann Drive along the
frontage of the development site. This will include two additional intersections within the new road network
providing access to Noosa Civic Shopping Centre and Walter Hay Drive.

New Hofmann Drive (New Road A) connecting to the frontage of the development site will be a two lane,
dual carriageway. This road will join to the southern 4-legged roundabout that will connect New Road B, New
Road C and continue to the existing southern roundabout at Walter Hay Drive.

Proposed New Road B will provide individual access to lots 10-16. The development will also provide service
lanes to access lots 10-16.

Proposed New Road C will connect the southern and northern roundabout while providing access to lots 3,
7, 8 and 9. The northern roundabout will provide access to Noosa Civic Shopping Centre and the existing
northern roundabout at Walter Hay Drive.

It is proposed that concrete footpaths will be provided on both sides of the new roads. A concrete footpath
will also be provided on the eastern frontage of the subject site which will connect the development to
Noosa Civic Shopping Centre.

These upgrades external to the sit are being carried out in accordance with the existing ROL permit (RAL
18/0023) and subsequent Operational Works.
