                                                         Proposed Mixed Use Development, 30-32 Doonella Road, Tewantin
                                                                             Parking & Traffic Impact Assessment Report




6             Summary and Conclusions
Greys Consulting was engaged by Doonella Street Pty Ltd to perform a traffic impact assessment in support
of a development application for a proposed mixed-use development located at 30-32 Doonella Road,
Tewantin comprising 728m2 of commercial space, 10 two-bedroom residential units and a basement car
park.


The assessment outcomes are as follows:
    > An investigation of the public transport available was undertaken revealing several bus routes
      frequently passing nearby to the subject site at Tewantin Business Centre on Poinciana Avenue which
      is approximately 100m from the site;
    > A brief site inspection and traffic observation was performed during the AM Peak of Friday, 16th of
      December 2016. The site survey data was then used to estimate the approximate existing traffic flows
      and to assess impacts of the proposed development on existing road network infrastructure in the
      vicinity of the proposed site.
    > No intersection modelling was undertaken due to the negligible impact on the existing traffic volumes
      on Doonella Street of approximately a 1% increase.
    > The proposed parking layout SD02 dated 3/2/2017, is designed in accordance to AS 2890.1-2004
    > The driveway entry vehicle crossover should be constructed to provide a short 3m wide lane from the
      adjacent through traffic lane in the immediate vicinity of the driveway access and at least 5m of the
      approach. This will require a minor realignment of approximately 0.5m for the width of the driveway
      and the 5m approach, with the taper from the current kerb line of 1 in 10.
    > Provide signage and pavement markings to illustrate and reinforce the one way entry only, and one
      way exit only arrangement of the two driveways, plus the 3.6m wide one way circulation aisle at the
      northern end of the basement.
    > Provide signage to advise the maximum vehicle height catered for at the entry to the basement car
      park.
    > As part of the car parking assessment, the Noosa Plan 2006 Planning Scheme Policy 26 “Motorcycle
      and motor scooter parking policy” (PSP-26), motor cycle parking is required at a rate of 1 motor cycle
      per 10 car spaces. At least 6 motorcycle spaces are required. The layout will be modified to include 8
      motorcycle parking spaces. In accordance with PSP-26, a credit of 2 car parking spaces can be
      applied for the proposed 8 motorcycle parking spaces, which reduced the car parking spaces from 54
      to 52 spaces.
    > The investigation of the public transport options revealed a good level of bus accessibility to the site.
      Given these factors, and the results of the low impact to the road network, this development is
      sustainable in transport terms, with acceptable minor impacts.
