                             Decision Evidence and Findings



Findings on material questions of fact:

   a) The objective of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 (TIA) requires the establishment of
      a road regime that is safe and efficient.
   b) Section 62 of the TIA provides for the Chief Executive of the Department of Transport
      and Main Roads to make decisions about permitted road access locations between
      particular land and a state-controlled road.
   c) The subject site (Lot 106 on C5604) has existing access to Cooroy - Noosa Road via a
      residential driveway and crossover.
   d) The development application is for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use
      for a Multiple Dwellings (3 Units).
   e) The existing access is proposed to be removed and a new access location is proposed.
   f) Access from the state-controlled road will be primarily for proposed Unit 1 only. Access
      to a local road is available and will be serving proposed Units 2 & 3.
   g) Landscaping and structures have the potential to limit sightlines to vehicles and active
      transport users. To ensure adequate warning to all pathway users a path user sight
      triangle area is required at the access to minimise obstructions to visibility.
   h) To minimise adverse impacts to the state-controlled road a single residential driveway is
      required.
   i) The proposed development can be effectively implemented without significant impacts to
      the safety and efficiency of the state-controlled road network with the conditioned access
      standard.
