Blue Care Sunshine Beach
Response to Sunshine Coat Regional Council. Information Request

1 Introduction

Arup was commissioned by Blue Care in.April 2008 to undertake a traffic impact
assessment for the proposed Blue Care Facility to be located at Grasstree Court (and Ben
Lexcen Drive), Sunrise Beach. Arup subsequently provided a Traffic Impact Assessment
report, included as part of the development application. Upon review of this application,
Sunshine Coast Regional Council has issued an Information Request, dated 11 August
2008. This document is included as Appendix A.

Queries with the application relating to traffic and Arup’s Traffic Impact Assessment report
were raised in items 13-14, 47-52, 53-58 and 59-64 of Council's Information Request. This
report offers response to these issues.

The plans for the development have been revised since submission of the development
apptication. The revised plans, amended to reflect issues raised by Council in the
Information Request, are included as Appendix B.

Please refer to Arup’s Traffic impact Assessment Report, dated 24 Juné 2008 (included as
Appendix C) for any traffic engineering issues relating to the proposed development not
discussed in this report.

1.1 Limits of Report

 

The above tasks have been carried out based on information supplied by other members of
the project team. While Arup has taken care in the preparation of this report, it neither
accepts liability nor responsibility whatsoever in respect of:

— any use of this report by any third party; and

— any third party whose interests may be affected by any decision made regarding the
contents of this report.

1.2 Safety in Design

Within the scope of our design activities, we have identified safety in design issues and
potential hazards, whenever reasonably practicable within our field of expertise. Due to our
limited and upfront rote on this project, it is not considered reasonably practicable to identify
all potential hazards which may occur throughout the life of a project, including during
construction activities. For any ensuing design stages, it is strongly recommended our
advice regarding safety in design be reviewed and revised as required, to reflect any
changes to the current design.
