      roundabout         outside GSLC and pedestrians (predominantly          children) on the footpath
      entrance,     in the event          of queuing   to access the proposed       site, causing traffic
      congestion.        Additionally,    the stationary traffic backing up along Goodchap Street will
      also have a potentially            harmful effect on the flow of vehicles accessing the Noosa

      extent of this.
