 Traffic Impact Assessment                                                                                        May 2023
 Proposed Noosa Civic Village Mixed Use Development




2.3        Road Network Planning
In order to ensure that the proposed development does not compromise the delivery of any planned
infrastructure works, Council’s Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) has been reviewed to identify any
projects within the vicinity of the site.

Council advised SLR on 29 July 2022 that the “Noosa Traffic Study to 2036 – (Holland Traffic Consulting 2016)”
informs Council’s network planning for future road and intersection upgrades. This study was prepared by
Holland Traffic Consulting (HTC) in 2016 (referred as ‘HTC 2016 study’ herein), using SIDRA to analyse critical
intersections to determine upgrade works required for the road network in Noosa Shire up to the 2036 design
scenario. The specific upgraded intersection concepts contained within the HTC 2016 study have been reviewed
by SLR to understand the planned intersection improvements for the broader road network.

In addition to intersection upgrades, the HTC 2016 study also recommended Council to facilitate diversion of
traffic on Eumundi Noosa Road to an alternative Emu Mountain Road / Walter Hay Drive route. This diversion is
encouraged so that existing and future heavy traffic demands along Eumundi Noosa Road between Beckmans
Road and Goodchap Street can be alleviated.

Table 2 summarises the details of the works identified as part of this review. Indicative locations of the works
are illustrated on Figure 3.
