3.3 Summary

 

The preceding analysis results for the three intersections show that the intersections will
operate within Council’s required limits of operation to the 2022 design year. The addition of
development traffic will not have a significant impact on the operation of any of the three
intersections.

As expected, the proposed development is a very tow traffic generator which will have a
negligible impact on the performance of the surrounding road network.

Whilst the detailed SIDRA analysis confirmed this, it is self evident from Figure 3.1.2 and the
following Table 3.3.

Table 3.2.3 — Predicted Traffic Volumes by Intersection

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Intersection Development Traffic | 2022 Background Traffic | %
Ben Lexcen Drive/Grasstree Court AM 81 807 10
PM 94 564 17
Ben Lexcen Drive/ Girraween Court AM 49 791 6
PM 56 640 9
Ben Lexcen Drive/Eeenie Creek Road | AM 49 2022 2
em 57 1614 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the above table demonstrates, the proposed development contributes little in the way of
additional traffic toad on Council's road network.

Notwithstanding this, the applicant is still required to pay road and infrastructure charges.
These charges will offset any impacts associated with the development.
