9.     CONCLUSION

This report has assessed the impact of traffic generated by the proposed medical
centre development on the external transport network. Consideration has been given
to operational performance, sight visibility, access requirements and car parking
arrangements.

An assessment was carried out of the trips likely to be generated by the proposed
development and the estimated distribution of trips on the existing street network. The
impact of the proposed development on the street network has been analysed using
procedures set out in Austroads and Sidra Traffic modelling software. Results of
analysis indicate that the street network, namely Goodchap Street continues to
operate with spare capacity and the impact of development traffic on the
operational performance of the external road network is insignificant.

A review of car parking arrangements has been undertaken to assess the proposal’s
compliance with the Noosa Plan and Australian Standards AS2890.1. The site is
required to provide parking for 124 spaces and has provided a total of 125 spaces,
including provision for 4 disabled parking spaces, an ambulance and one van. The
proposed parking arrangements are considered adequate and generally comply
with the requirements of Council.

In conclusion, the proposed development will not adversely impact on the
operational performance of the surrounding road network and is considered
adequate for the proposed land use.
