                                                                                   Parking & Traffic Impact Assessment Report



2.3            Existing Road Network
The Noosa Plan indicates Doonella Street is a Major Road, and classifies it as a Sub-Arterial Road, as it
carries through traffic between Noosa Heads, Noosaville and North and West of Tewantin.

2.3.1     Doonella Street
It is primarily used as a bypass for through traffic past the Tewantin business area. It also provides direct
vehicular and pedestrian access to frontage properties. It carries 1 traffic lane in each direction, with
kerbside parking permitted on both sides of the roads.

Table 2-1      Road Classifications
 Road Classification            Description
                                This is typically a secondary road carrying between 5,000 and 20,000 vehicles per day,
 Sub-Arterial Road              and over 500 to 2,000 vehicles per hour in the peak period. They predominantly carry
                                traffic from one sub-region to another forming secondary inter-regional transport links.

The intersections adjacent to the development are Doonella Street & Memorial Avenue and Sidoni Street
and Poinciana Avenue. These are intersection number 50 and 51 respectively in the figure above. Both are
roundabouts.
The Noosa Plan includes a list of proposed infrastructure works, which for these two adjacent intersections
are:
      •   Intersection 50 – Doonella Street and Memorial Avenue                     NIL
      •   Intersection 51 – Sidoni Street and Poinciana Avenue                      $ 37,500 for works in 2021-2026
Given the very small budget for Intersection 51 for “Roundabout improvements”, it is assumed the work will
not have any impact on capacity and is most likely aesthetic or minor road safety improvements.
