           bus stop shelter at both the northern and southern ends of the shelter. Council
           will provide advice on the design if required.

       c) A road corridor (west of the existing traffic median) that comprises the following
          to the frontage of the site:
                
 1 x 3.25m (min) wide north bound traffic lane.
                
 1 x 2.0m (min) wide north bound cycle lane, with painted green treatment.
                
 1 x 3.0m (min) wide north bound Intermediate (Indented) Bus Bay, in
                  accordance with Translink requirements as outlined above.
                
 1 x 5.0m wide road verge with all existing services within the existing road
                  verge (including overhead and underground services), relocated into the
                  new road verge on the correct alignment as required by the utility owners.
                  Please note that further widening of the road verge may be necessary in
                  the vicinity of the proposed Bus Shelter to accommodate the 2.5m wide
                  through pathway to the rear of the bus shelter as mentioned above.

The traffic experts have reached an agreed position with respect to improving the function of
the bus stop fronting the proposed development, which have been incorporated into the
intersection design (refer Attachment 2A). The proposed design provides for the following:

   •   relocated bus shelter to be provided within the subject land and integrated into the
       activated streetscape design at the David Low Way frontage, as shown on the proposal
       plans (refer Attachment 3);
   •   provision of a 2.5m wide footpath from the abutting property boundary;
   •   provision of a 3.0m wide bus way;
   •   provision of a 1.5m wide cycleway adjoining the bus way and traffic lane; and
   •   provision of a 3.25m wide traffic lane.

The proposed changes are considered to be satisfactory and significantly improve the current
bus stop arrangements at the frontage, which will be of benefit to the Peregian Beach
community as a whole.

Internal Road

5. Provide a plan indicating the proposed access driveway that extends along the western
   side of the proposed building and services the remainder of the site. Indicate on the plan
   the swept paths of the type of vehicle expected to utilise the driveway including passing
   at the bend adjacent to the south western corner of Stage 1.

6. Provide comment from a traffic engineer in regard to the potential for conflict between
   the traffic from the remainder of the site and the delivery/service vehicles reversing into
   the loading areas. The comment must include an indication of the expected number of
   heavy vehicle movements and reference to the sight lines around the bend to the
   oncoming traffic.

7. Provide comment from a traffic engineer in regard to the need for a barrier or other
   delineation between the staff parking/service aisle and the adjacent public carparking
   area.

Please refer to the further report by Holland Traffic Consulting (refer Attachment 2), which
addresses the above issues.
