RESPONSE COMMENTS TO INFORMATION REQUEST

NOOSA HEADS, SEAHAVEN RESORT,
IN RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST BY SUNSHINE COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL

Background

Cardno Eppell Olsen has been requested by Seahaven Development Pty Ltd to respond to an
Information Request by Sunshine Coast Regional Council in relation to the Development Application
Number 2008/1787. The traffic related issues within the Information Request referred to Cardno Eppell
Olsen are summarised below with each point responded to in turn in the subsequent sections:

Point 2.9

Point 2.11

Point 2.12

Details of proposed valet drop-off and collection points demonstrating that the lower
ground entry area is adequately sized to cater for this function without any conflicts
between passing vehicles, pedestrians, vehicle door swings, etc.

As with the ‘majority of on and off street parking and drop-off zones, there will be a

‘degree of conflict between pedestrians and vehicles. This conflict is, however, “.. - ~”
‘considered to be minimal and acceptable in the proposed situation as the combined bay . «"”

and driveway access width allows for parked vehicles and two vehicles passing each |,
other simultaneously, as shown at Appendix B. There is good forward visibility of the +
valet drop-off bays for vehicles entering the car park (i.e. those closest to the bays)
therefore allowing activity within the bays to be anticipated by approaching drivers.

As the proposed operation is similar to most on-street parking and drop-off zones, there
will also be awareness by pedestrians of the shared pedestrian/vehicular nature of the
driveway access.

Amended plans demonstrating vehicle sight lines clear that do not conflict with parking
spaces as currently shown on Dwg SK2000.

This has been undertaken within the architect’s drawing, as shown at Appendix A.
Sightlines between vehicles and pedestrians have been addressed separately within the
Traffic Impact Assessment report issued in relation to the original application.

Demonstrate that a vehicle turning left when exiting the development (eastbound) can
do so without crossing into the oncoming traffic lane (westbound).

An AutoTURN drawing has been provided at Appendix B demonstrating that this
manoeuvre can be executed acceptably.
