5.             Historic Traffic Volumes
5.1.           Peak Hour
The critical intersections for the proposed development are the Holts Road intersections with
Myall Street and Taylor Court. DTMR have provided surveyed peak hour volumes from 2009
which includes the Myall Street/Holts Road intersection. The data is contained in Appendix A
of a report entitled ‘Bruce Highway (Cooroy to Curra) Upgrade Section A (Cooroy Southern
Interchange to Sankeys Road).

From a review of aerial imaging, it appears that Taylor Court was constructed in 2009, however
was only occupied by a sawmill which may not have been in use at the time. To provide a
robust assessment, it is estimated that the 2009 traffic movements to and from Holts Road are
generated by existing rural uses beyond (south/west) of the subject site.

Figure 5.1 shows the 2009 surveyed peak hour traffic volumes at the Myall Street/Holts Road
intersection and estimated traffic volumes at the Holts Road/Taylor Court intersection.
