2.3    Intersection Analysis

The roundabout of Goodchap Street and Val Crescent has been analysed using traffic
modelling software Sidra 6.1 to determine the operational performance. Please note
the summary of results shown below is for the overall approach, specific information
for each movement is available in the electronic file. Traffic flows for the peak hours
are shown above and results for the operational performance of the roundabout during
the peak hours are shown in Table 1 below.

The results of the Sidra intersection analysis indicates the intersection currently
operates adequately in the morning and afternoon peak hours, with spare capacity and
minimal delays and queues. The limit for acceptable operations, as outlined in
Austroads Guide to Road Design for roundabouts is 0.85 and analysis indicates the
roundabout is currently performing with spare capacity.


2.4    Public Transport

The bus network across the Sunshine Coast is provided by SunBus. The development
site has convenient access to public transport. There are bus stops with shelters and a
pedestrian refuge on Goodchap Street in very close proximity to the site.
