         Traffic Engineering Review of Conditions of Approval
         Application No. 131998.981211.5

Dear Jack,

I refer to your request to review a number of the Conditions placed on the recent Approval for 48 Kabi Road,
Cootharaba. The following has been prepared to address the Conditions for which you have requested feedback. The
particulars are discussed under key headings, below.

In preparing this advice, it is firstly noted that the traffic report submitted for the Development Application ‘Traffic
Engineering Assessment Report Response to Information Request, Proposed School Camp Facility & Permaculture Use,
58 Kabi Road, Cootharaba’ prepared by Beth Meehan Consulting Pty Ltd, dated 22 March 2023 (BMC 2023) related to
a higher development density for the site than is reflected by the Approval.

Comparison of Use: Original Traffic Report Assumptions vs. Approval
As the development intensity is directly related to traffic generation and impacts, Table 1 has been prepared to
summarise the differences between the assumptions made at the time of preparation of BMC (2023) and the Approved
development.

Table 1: Comparison of Traffic Report Assumptions vs. Approval
 Development Component               Traffic Report Assumptions     Approval Conditions
 Golf Course                         Closed to the General Public   18 holes to be open to the General Public, only when
                                                                    there are no camp activities occurring on the site
 Group Accommodation                 299 beds                       88 beds (including 8 teacher beds)

It has been advised by the intended site operation that the reduced scale of Group Accommodation operations is
expected to be managed by 10 Equivalent Full-Time staff.

As can be seen from Table 1, there is a notable decrease in the intensity of the proposed Group Stay Accommodation.

Condition 97: Requirement for Upgrade of Kabi Road

Golf Course 1998 Approval
The 1998 Golf Course Approval included a requirement to upgrade to Kabi Road to include a 6.0m wide pavement. It is
assumed that all works to comply with this condition were satisfied prior to its opening.
