19 August 2019 Pivotal Perspective 4/59 Mary Street Noosaville Qld 4566 Attention: James Stott Dear James, RE: 90 BEACH ROAD, NOOSA NORTH SHORE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION This report has been prepared by Pekol Traffic and Transport (PTT), as requested by Pivotal Perspective, to assess the access arrangements for a proposed low-density residential development at 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore. The aim of this letter is to review and assess the proposed access arrangements, with respect to the Noosa Shire Council Planning Scheme (2006), Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 4A: Unsignalised and Signalised Intersections and Australian Standards Parking Facilities Part 1: ‘Off Street Car Parking’ (AS2890.1). EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject site is formally identified as Lot 500 on SP215779 and is zoned as visitor mixed use according to Council’s Planning Scheme. It is bounded to the north by Beach Road, to the east by open space conservation land, to the south by environmental reserve, and to the west by an existing short-term accommodation facility, as shown in Figure 1. Beach Road is classified as a minor road according to the Noosa Shire Council. In the vicinity of the subject site, Beach Road has a posted speed limit of 60km/h and is undivided with a single lane of traffic in each direction. No access to the subject site exists on Beach Road. P:\2017-18\18-338 90 BEACH ROAD, NOOSA NORTH SHORE (ARC)\OUTPUTS\18-338 LETTER.DOCX PREPARED BY: CG 1

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development seeks approval for a Material Change of Use for a single dwelling and private
lagoon. The development site would be accessed via a single crossover on Beach Road at the eastern
boundary, with access to the single dwelling provided via an internal roadway. The proposed development
layout is shown in Figure 2.

ACCESS Crossover Location and Design A 6.0m wide all movements crossover, located at the northeast boundary of the subject site, is proposed and would provide access to the development, as shown in Figure 2. It is recommended that the crossover be of Type A and is designed in accordance with the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) drawing RS-051. Sight Distance Council’s Planning Scheme recommends that sight distance for property accesses be in accordance with Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 4A: Unsignalised and Signalised Intersections. This states that for sight distance at property entrances, sight distance can be given by values under the extended design domain (EDD). On a minor road (ie Beach Road) with a 70km/h design speed (60km/h plus 10 km/h), Austroads requires an absolute minimum sight distance of 110m, with a desirable sight distance of 120m. There is approximately 130m of sight distance to the west of the driveway location, as demonstrated in Figure 3 and the attached drawing 18-338-001. To the east of the driveway there is in excess of 200m of sight distance available, as shown in Figure 4. Therefore, the available sight distance at the proposed driveway location is sufficent in both directions.

Figure 4: SIGHT DISTANCE TO THE EAST During a site visit conducted on 14 March 2018, some existing vegetation was observed within the road reserve along the site frontage, as shown in Figure 5. It is recommended that the understory of this vegetation be maintained to ensure that the required sight distance is achieved to the west of the proposed access driveway.

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed development at 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore has been evaluated in terms of its site
access arrangements. The main points to note are:
the proposed development involves the construction of a single dwelling and a private lagoon
access to the development site is proposed via a 6.0m driveway crossover at the northeast corner of the
site
it is recommended that the driveway crossover be designed in accordance with IPWEA RS-051
approximately 130m and over 200m of sight distance is provided to the west and east of the driveway
respectively
the available sight distance is consistent with Austroads extended design domain
it is recommended that vegetation in the road reserve be maintained to ensure that the required sight
distance is achieved to the west of the proposed access driveway
If you have any questions regarding the issues discussed above, please do not hesitate to contact us.
