11         Summary
SLR has been engaged by Stockwell to provide traffic engineering advice and prepare a Traffic Impact Statement
as part of a proposed Childcare facility located on Hofmann Drive on Lot 4 within the Noosa Business Precinct in
Noosaville, as shown on development plans provided at Appendix A. Based on the assessment documented
herein, the following can be concluded:
     •     Internal access, circulation and parking infrastructure is generally designed in accordance with relevant
           standards and meets the functional requirements of the development.
     •     The proposed supply of car parking generally meets what’s prescribed within the Plan and the parking
           supply is considered to be sufficient. It can be justified based on:
           •   A comparison of five (5) other SEQ Council’s resulted in an average parking supply of 28 spaces of
               which this proposed development meets.
           •   The performance-based parking provision resulted in 21 spaces based on the surveyed park rates
               of four (4) existing childcare centres operated by the same operator, which the proposed
               development exceeds such provision.
           •   An indicative car park schedule for staff parking spaces is provided at Appendix B.
     •     The subject development provides for a sufficient amount of bicycle parking, along with suitable end-
           of-trip facilities.
     •     The proposed development’s traffic generation is considered insignificant and is unlikely to provide a
           material impact on local traffic conditions relative to the traffic demands generated by the broader
           Noosa Civic shopping centre. Consequently, a detailed operational assessment of the surrounding road
           network is note considered warranted.
     •     The site access has been designed in accordance with Noosa’s Standard Drawing for Heavy duty vehicle
           crossing type B2 and complies with the sight distance requirements of AS2890.2.
     •     Pedestrian facilities have been designed to connect with the Noosa Civic shopping centre and to
           encourage active transport and public transport use.
     •     Refuse collection is addressed in the Waste Management Plan prepared by TTM.
     •     The subject development provides for one SRV parking space to facilitate the functional requirements
           of the site. Swept paths are provided at Appendix C.
     •     The code responses provided at Appendix D confirm that the subject development is generally in
           accordance with the relevant requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020.
