                                                    Proposed Medical Development, Noosaville
                                                                 Medicentre Properties Pty Ltd
                                                                              November 2015



The access driveways are located a suitable distance from the bus stop on Goodchap
Street with the minimum requirement of 2m separation from the bus stop marker as
per Clause 2.1.3 of the Translink Public Transport Infrastructure Manual. The egress
is located approximately 32m from the Give Way line at the roundabout. This
complies with the minimum driveway separation to an intersection of 20m.


6.1    Sight Distance Requirements

The sight visibility at the proposed driveway location has been reviewed in
accordance with Clause Austroads 2009 Guide to Road Design – Part 4A:
Intersections. Sight distance is measured along the carriageway from the approaching
vehicle to the conflict point. Assumptions used in sight distance calculations are as
follows:
     Vehicle speed on Goodchap Street are 60km/h;
     Reaction time of 2.0 seconds (specified as “desirable” Table 3.2, Austroads
        Part 4 Geometric Design, 2009).

The safe intersection sight distance (SISD) for an observation time of 3 seconds and
reaction time of 2.0 seconds (Refer to Table 3.2 of Part 4) for 60km/h is 123m.

An assessment of sight visibility from the proposed access has been undertaken. The
safe intersection sight distance measured on site in accordance with Austroads
requirements is approximately 138m. The sight visibility complies with both
Austroads and AS2890 requirements for access.

There is a yellow edge line installed along the Goodchap Street frontage to prohibit
parking for the bus stop. The existing two on-street car parks will be removed.
