11. Summary

11.1       Proposed Development
The proposed development is anticipated to haul approximately 900,000 tonnes of material on
Lake MacDonald Drive for an approximate distance of 1.4km between the existing Westridge
Quarry and White Pit Quarry accesses. The duration of this activity is predicted to be
approximately 2 years.


11.2       Road Network
A traffic capacity review of Lake MacDonald Drive has been undertaken, with adequate road
corridor and intersection capacities along the extent of the haulage route. It is not expected that
the level of truck activity will impact on any capacity.


11.3       Site Access
The proposed site accesses have been reviewed, with the northern White Pit Quarry access
having a restricted north visibility due the vertical alignment profile of Lake MacDonald Drive. It is
recommended that this access is only used for a short period to establish the site and allow for
the construction of a secondary access further to the north. This will help to maintain road safety
along the corridor and provide adequate visibility in all directions.


11.4       Existing Road Pavement Conditions
The existing road pavement has been reviewed with no significant road maintenance issues
indentified from the site visit. It is recommended that Lake MacDonald Drive is inspected on a
monthly basis, with any maintenance issues indentified and acted upon.


11.5       Bicycle / Pedestrian Review
TTM do not anticipate that the level of truck activity will impact existing public transport, cyclist or
pedestrian activity along Lake MacDonald Drive.
It is intended for a Drivers Code of Conduct to be implemented which will also include information
to the treatment and awareness of on road cyclists when entering, exiting or travelling along the
haulage route.


11.6       Internal Site Operation
TTM understands that a dedicated on-site compound will be established, which will provide
dedicated parking for up to 5 vehicles and adequate turning areas for trucks.


11.7       Traffic Management Plan
It is recommended that a Traffic Management Plan to be prepared prior to any on-site activities,
which will be in accordance with the MUTCD.
