Traffic Engineering Report

11.            Summary and Conclusions
11.1.          Development Access
The development layout includes an exit only northern driveway and an all movements
southern driveway. The proposed access arrangements are considered practical and fit for
purpose

11.2.          Car Parking Arrangements
The development proposal includes 36 parking spaces which complies with Council
requirements and an overflow parking area. TTM support the provision of a minimum of 31
spaces on the subject site given the level of ‘shop’ demand from vehicles refuelling and the
provision of the overflow parking area.

TTM have provide recommendations for signage and line marking to improve on-site
circulation.

11.3.          Impact on Surrounding Road Network
The local road network is considered to be suitably designed (construction finished in late
2016) to cater for movements from the proposed development. The Myall Street/Holts Road
intersection may have slightly higher DOS than generally accepted (83.4% compared to 80%).
Whilst an additional 20m left turn lane from Holts Road would reduce the DOS to acceptable
levels, TTM do not believe this is necessary given the conservative nature of the assessment
and any requirement for this additional lane should be subject to an updated traffic impact
assessment within one year of the development use commencing.

11.4.          Service Vehicle Arrangements
The proposed development suitably caters for movements of semi trailers, HRV’s and the
occasional B-double. TTM have recommended line marking to improve separation between
cars/caravans and trucks in the overflow parking area, and identified a recommended re-filling
point.

11.5.          Public Transport and Bicycle / Pedestrian Facilities
The proposed land uses are not considered sufficient for additional paths or public transport
infrastructure to be provided. The development layout includes 9 bicycle parking spaces which
is considered suitable for any cycling demand which may use shoulders on Myall Street and
Holts Road to access the subject site.

11.6.          Conclusion
Based on the assessment contained within this report, TTM see no traffic engineering reason
why the relevant approvals should not be granted.
