The results indicate that the Eumundi Road / Walter Hay Drive / Venture Drive roundabout currently
experiences ‘excellent? operations under both the existing weekday evening and Saturday peak hour
conditions. The Eumundi Road / Eenie Creek Road roundabout experiences ‘very good’ operations under

the existing weekday evening and Saturday peak hour conditions.

Both roundabouts currently operate well within DMTR’s acceptable limit during the weekday evening
and Saturday peak hours.

Site Access

As shown in Figure 2.1, the subject site has two existing points of vehicular access on Eumundi Road,
located approximately 40m apart. Due to the divided nature of Eumundi Road, the site access driveways
operate as left-in / left-out. While the northern driveway generally caters to entry movements and the
southern driveway to exit movements, this arrangement is not formalised with pavement markings or

signage.

The subject site currently does not have any vehicular access to Lionel Donovan Drive.

Crash History

We have obtained five years of crash data (to August 2014 for fatal crashes, to December 2013 for
hospitalisation crashes, to December 2011for medical treatment and minor injury crashes and to
December 2010 for property damage only crashes) from DTMR for the section of Eumundi Road along
the site frontage. This data, attached at Appendix B, shows that there has been only one reported crash
associated with movements into or out of the site accesses. However, it is noted that this incident involved
a vehicle hitting an object upon leaving the driveway, with alcohol a relevant factor. Therefore, it is

considered that there is no existing crash trend or road safety issue at this location.

On-Street Parking

There are approximately six on-street car parking bays located on the eastern side of Eumundi Road,
along the site frontage, between the two site accesses. These parking bays are not subject to any

restrictions.

Lionel Donovan Drive has on-street parking on both sides of the carriageway. This parking is also not

subject to any restrictions and on-site observations suggest that it is heavily utilised during weekdays.
