4           Design Considerations

4.1         Reference Documents

A review of the proposed design of internal traffic and transport infrastructure has been undertaken against the
relevant design standards specified within the following documents:
      ·     The following parts of the Australian Standards for parking facilities (AS2890):
            ·    Part 1: Off-street car parking (AS2890.1).
            ·    Part 2: Off-street commercial vehicle facilities (AS2890.2).
            ·    Part 3: Bicycle parking (AS2890.3).
            ·    Part 6: Off-street parking for people with disabilities (AS2890.6).
      ·     The Driveways and Carparking Code within the Noosa Plan 2006.

The design of each of the relevant traffic and transport components of the proposal are discussed relative to the
requirements of the abovementioned reference documents within the following sections of this TIS.

Swept path drawings have also been prepared for key vehicle movements to demonstrate how vehicles would
access and manoeuvre within the site. Copies of these drawings are provided at Attachment B for reference.

4.2         Site Access

As previously mentioned in Section 3.2 herein, the subject development does not propose to achieve direct site
access via the public road frontages, but rather makes use of the existing Easement AB along the site’s south-
eastern boundary which is a private road. Consequently, the requirements specified within Council’s standard
drawings are not strictly applicable but rather the proposed form of the access has been dictated by the design
of the adjacent basement access ramp and swept path requirements.

Notwithstanding the above, it is however noted that the width of the access is consistent with that specified for
Type B driveways on Council’s standard drawing RS-051.

4.3         Car Parking & Circulation

The results of an assessment of the design of internal car parking and circulation infrastructure against the
requirements of the standards described in Section 4.1 are summarised within Table 3.
