              a.     a design prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ);
              b.     so that no part of the rigid vehicles exits the traffic lane(s); and

       accordance with an Operational Works approval, be generally in accordance
       with Austroads’ A Guide to Road Design Part 3, sections 5, 6 and 8 of BMC
       Traffic’s Traffic Engineering Assessment Report (Doc ID: 22354477) dated 22
       March 2023, The Noosa Plan 2020 – PSP6 Engineering Design Standards,
       and include, but not be limited to:
               a.     a design prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ)
               b.     a combined traffic lane width of 6.2m (2 x 3.1m);
               c.     a shoulder width of 1.0m (with a minimum shoulder sealed
                      width of 0.5m);
               d.     a pavement design suitable to cater for heavy vehicles (i.e.,

               f.     the continuation of the existing stormwater box culvert to allow
                      for the require carriageway width;
               g.     considerations to the existing residential driveway crossovers;
                      and
               h.     a sealed turnaround facility sufficiently sized to accommodate
                      a 3-point turn manoeuvre of a heavy rigid vehicle (HRV) located
                      at the end of the road.

existing road conditions, nature and scale of the development

Condition 98 – fire trail

98.    The development site must be provided with an Emergency Bushfire
       Evacuation Route connecting to Council’s “Road 176”. The emergency route
       is to be used for emergencies only and is not to be used for deliveries or
       general access. The works must be undertaken in accordance with an
       Operational Works approval and Section 5.5 of North Coast Environmental

       dated 11 September 2024, and include, but not be limited to:
              a.    a design prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ) that is
                    to an acceptable standard to cater for a HRV, 14.5m rigid
                    vehicle (i.e., bus) and appropriate firefighting appliances;
              b.    a design that allows for unbroken access for a HRV, 14.5m rigid
                    vehicle (i.e., bus) and appropriate fire-fighting appliances
                    through the site (i.e., from “Road 176” to all parking and
                    manoeuvring areas and through to Kabi Road);
              c.    a design that includes passing bays and turning areas;
              d.    the emergency route, all internal roads and associated
                    manoeuvring areas must not exceed a gradient of 12.5%;
