        Noosa and Tewantin, and 70% of the outgoing development traffic is anticipated to travel south towards the
        Cooroy town centre and destinations accessed via the Bruce Highway such as Nambour and Brisbane, 15% of

        traffic is anticipated to originate from the south at Elm Street.


Please do note that it is anticipated that up to 10% of all trips may occur by PT or active mode shares however the
following assessment is conservative in allowing for 100% car mode share.
