Please provide a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland certified access assessment and
supporting concept plans, prepared in accordance with DTMR’s Guide to Traffic Impact Assessment
(GTIA), Road Planning and Design Manual (RPDM) and other applicable TMR / Austroads requirements.

The access assessment must:
       demonstrate that the number of accesses to the state-controlled road have been minimised and
        consolidated where reasonably practicable. It is recommended to provide amended plans
        identifying a consolidated access point and associated access easements, including any
        necessary upgrades, earthworks or vegetation clearing necessary to achieve the sight distance
        requirements
       demonstrate that all proposed/retained access locations can achieve an acceptable safety
        outcome, including appropriate sight distance and access design
       demonstrate that visibility at the new or changed access achieves the sight distance requirements
        in DTMR’s RPDM including for Safe Stopping Distance, Safe Intersection Sight Distance and
        Minimum Gap Sight Distance or a 110km/hr design speed (to suit the posted speed of 100km/hr).
        To assist in meeting the sight distance requirements a speed survey may be beneficial. Where
        the 85th percentile vehicle speeds are less than the posted speed limit the design speed of
        110km/hr can be reduced. Any survey is to be undertaken in accordance with DTMR’s,
        Queensland Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Part 4: Speed controls (Mar 2022)
       ensure all mitigation measures are to be designed in accordance with DTMR’s RPDM
       demonstrate the access can be upgraded to DTMR rural property access standard, including
        SD1807, Type A with a G dimension value of 6m, as relevant to the proposed use and design
        vehicle, sealed to the property boundary with a 450mm minimum diameter RCP and sloping
        headwalls.

2. Noise
In reviewing the application material, insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate how the
development will minimise noise intrusion from the SCR.

The applicant has not addressed how the proposal would meet the maximum free field acoustic levels as
outlined within Table 2 of State code 1.

Response requested:
Please provide further information to demonstrate how noise intrusion will be minimised. This should
include measures that can be required as part of a reconfiguration of a lot application and provided prior
to the sealing of a survey plan. For example, a plan which identifies the location of the building envelope
as far as practicable from the SCR.
