                                                                                            Traffic Impact Assessment



                 2.2         Existing Development

                 The subject site is currently unoccupied.


                 2.3         Local Road Network

                 2.3.1    Ben Lexcen Drive
                 Ben Lexcen Drive is a two lane road which is designated as a District Collector by the
                 Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Ben Lexcen Drive carries in the order of 400 vehicles
                 during each commuter peak hour, based upon manual traffic counts undertaken for the
                 purpose of this study on Wednesday 28 May 2008.

                 2.3.2    Grasstree Court
                 Grasstree Court is a local access street providing access to a small neighbourhood
                 shopping centre located adjacent to the north east corner of the site and a church located at
                 the western end of Grasstree Court.
                 An existing left slip lane provides access from Ben Lexcen Drive to Grasstree Court for
                 northbound vehicles. We understand that the existing left slip lane is not gazetted and was
                 constructed over private land which is the subject of this application. The architectural plans
                 indicate a realignment of this left slip lane to be fully contained within Council’s road reserve.
                 We understand Blue Care are currently attempting to resolve this encroachment with Syd
                 Jerram (Manager, Works Planning North) and Michael Hagan of Council’s Assets and
                 Infrastructure Department.
