Noosa Heads, Traffic Impact Assessment Eppell Olsen

4.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS

41 Existing Site Use

The existing Seahaven Resort is located at 9-21 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads. It consists of:

. 48 one and two bedroom units (66 keys);

. 12 retail tenancies including 2 restaurants fronting Hastings Street;
. a ground floor reception area/front office;

. a single vehicular access;

. basement parking for 70 cars.

4.2 Traffic Generation and Distribution

The traffic generated by the existing Seahaven Resort is shown in Table 4.1 below, with use
areas for retail and dining taken from the site’s sales document.

Using the same generation rates, the traffic generated by the proposed development will be of
a lower scale to the existing site due to the reduction in the number of units and in the use
area for retail and dining. The proposed traffic generation is shown below in Table 4.2.

It is expected that the distribution of generated traffic from the site on to the external road
network will be the same as existing. Due to the significant reduction in expected traffic
generated by the proposed redevelopment, it is not considered necessary to undertake an
assessment of traffic impacts on the road network.
