5.4      RISK ASSESSMENT
         The increase in traffic at Eumundi Noosa Road / Site Access priority-controlled intersection may
         increase the likelihood of the following safety risks on the state-controlled road network:

         —        angle crashes between right-turning and through vehicles from adjacent approaches
                  (DCA Code 102)

         —        angle crashes between through and left-turning vehicles from adjacent approaches (DCA
                  Code 107)

         —        angle crash between through and right-turning vehicles from opposite approaches (DCA
                  Code 202)

         In response to the recent crashes, Council has banned right turns at the site exit. As such, the risk
         of angle crashes between through traffic on Eumundi Noosa Road and right-turning vehicles
         from the site access has been mitigated.

         The outcomes of the road safety assessment are identified in Table 5.2 and are discussed below.

         As shown in Table 5.1, the proposed development is not expected to increase the risk score of
         the state-controlled road network. However, it is recommended that the CHR(s) on Eumundi
         Noosa Road be upgraded to a CHR to address the safety concerns identified in Section 4.4.2.
