        The increase in trips was converted from a monthly value to Tuesday and Sunday peak hour
        values based on the tube count data. As shown in Table 4.3, traffic is expected to increase by
        30vph and 28vph in the Tuesday and Sunday peak hours, respectively.

        Table 4.3:            INCREASE IN TRAFFIC GENERATION (PEAK HOUR)
                                                        IN                             OUT                 TOTAL

          % of Trips in Peak Hour                     0.44%                            0.48%                0.46%

          Traffic Generation (vph)                      16                              17                   32


        It is anticipated that the amount of waste brought to site and processed would increase over time.
        To quantify the increase, a growth rate factor based on population growth has been applied to
        the development generated traffic. The forecast population data for Noosa Statistical Area 3, as
        published by the Queensland Government Statisticians Office, indicates a population growth rate
        of 0.5% per annum.

        Accordingly, a background growth rate of 0.5% per annum has been adopted. The application
        of this rate equates to a 6.4% increase in development generated traffic over a 12 year period
        (ie 2026-2038).
