7          Traffic Considerations
7.1        Development Traffic Demand
Peak hour traffic demands have been forecast for the subject development based upon survey data provided
from QLD Government’s Open Data portal. From this portal, there were 17 Childcare centres that were surveyed
between 2006 and 2010 across Queensland, resulting in an average trip generation rate of 0.63 trips per child
for the peak hour. This equates to approximately 61 vph being generated in a peak hour period. In the broader
context of the precinct including the Noosa Civic shopping centre, this level of traffic generation is insignificant,
and it is not expected that further upgrades to what are currently planned would be required.

7.2        Site Access
The driveway crossover has been designed in accordance with Council’s Standard Drawing for Heavy duty vehicle
crossing type B2.

Sight distance requirements for driveways used by commercial vehicles are prescribed within AS2890.2. For a
frontage road speed of 50km/h as per Hofmann Drive, a sight distance from the centre of the driveway to
oncoming traffic (either direction along Hofmann Drive) must achieve a minimum of 69m. A desktop assessment
has been undertaken utilising NearMap to check the available sight distance from the proposed access. Refer to
Figure 5 below.
