Attachment 2 - Traffic Report · MCU13/0251

1.0 Introduction

This traffic impact assessment report has been prepared in relation to the proposed Peregian Village
Market development as depicted on Red Door Architects drawings titled “Peregian Village Market” and
numbered 1-10. The site locality is depicted in the proposal plans, an extract of which is depicted below:




There is a current approval over the site that was the subject to an appeal to the Planning and
Environment Court (Appeal 2587 of 2008). That approval was for commercial development at the site of
the current proposal (the approved commercial area is for a lesser scale development than now
proposed) as well as tourist accommodation on the balance of the site in later stages. The current
proposal increases the commercial areas of the approval, and we understand maintains the scale of
approved tourist accommodation.

This report assesses the traffic impacts associated with the altered proposal for the overall site
(compared with what was previously approved via the Court Appeal), and also assesses proposed
parking provisions for the retail area as well as the adequacy of the proposed traffic layout.


2.0 Existing traffic conditions

David Low Way is a State-controlled road administered by the Department of Transport and Main Roads.
It carries existing traffic flows of about 13,000 vehicles per day. David Low Way in the vicinity of the site
is located within the Peregian village township area which has a low speed environment with a sign
posted speed limit of 40km/hr. The 40km/hr limit begins about 130m south of the site, and continues well
north of the site.

There are indented bus stops and associated bus shelters on each side of David Low Way at the site
frontage. There is also a zebra crossing of David Low Way at the site frontage. Consistent with the
40km/hr speed zone, the crossing is located on a flat top hump. The crossing provides for bus users to
cross the road, and also for access directly into the Peregian Beach shopping precinct.
