O1 Traffic generation from the development is       S1.1 Where the development leads to the need
considered in a localised and a Shire wide          to increase transport infrastructure in the Shire,
context to ensure that—                             the development contributes to the transport
                                                    network in accordance with the requirements of
a)   the transport network has the capacity to      the applicable infrastructure charging instrument
     safely and efficiently accommodate             and the Priority Infrastructure Plan in
     projected movements; and/or                    accordance with legislation.
b)   the development includes measures to
     upgrade the transport network to meet the
     imposed demands.                                 Editor’s note
