Response to Sunshine Coat Regional Council Information Request

External Traffic Generation

This section responds to items 47 to 52 of Sunshine Coast Regional Council's Information
Request, included as Appendix A.

3.1 Background Data and Assumptions

 

Assumptions used for the analysis included in Arup’s Traffic Impact Assessment Report,
dated 24 June 2008 (included as Appendix C) are used in the following analysis unless
otherwise specified.

3.1.1 Eenie Creek Road Traffic Distribution
Council provided a summary of the predicted traffic volumes for the Ben Lexcen Drive/Eenie
Creek Road/Heathland Drive, as determined by Maunsell. This is included as Appendix D.

These volumes have been used in lieu of traffic count volumes in our SIDRA analysis of this
intersection.

3.1.2 Development Traffic Distribution _

The assumed distributions of traffic from the site are unchanged from our previous report
(included as Appendix C), with the exception of the Eenie Creek Road intersection. The
new origin Destination sptit of the development traffic to the north is based on the traffic
volumes provided by council and is as follows:

¢ — Arriving traffic: - 32% from West (Eenie Creek Road)
- 34% from ‘North (Ben'Lexcen Drive)
- 34% from South (Heathland Drive)

+ Departing traffic  - 61% to West (Eenie Creek Road)
-36% to North (Ben Lexcen Drive)
- 3% to South (Heathiand Drive)

This results in a traffic distribution as shown in Figure 3.1.2, over page.
