 Stockwell Development Group Pty Ltd                                   SLR Ref No: 620.30926-R01-v1.0 TIA 20230524.docx
 Traffic Impact Assessment                                                                                    May 2023
 Proposed Noosa Civic Village Mixed Use Development




4          Design Consideration
4.1        Overview
A review of the traffic and transport related design elements for the development has been undertaken against
the following relevant documents:
          Noosa Plan 2020 (planning scheme);
          Australia Standard for Parking Facilities Part 1: Off-street car parking (AS2890.1);
          Australian Standard for Parking Facilities Part 6: Off-street commercial vehicle facilities (AS2890.2); and
          Australian Standard for Parking Facilities Part 6: Off-street parking for people with disabilities
           (AS2890.6)

4.2        Access
Vehicular access to the proposed development will be facilitated via four (4) driveway crossover locations as
discussed in Section 3.2 of this report. An operational analysis (i.e., capacity assessment) of all access
intersections is provided in Section 8.

4.2.1      Crossovers

Proposed access crossovers provided at northern loading dock of Lot 3 and for Lot 7 are considered to be
appropriate for the development design vehicles. This has been demonstrated by the swept path assessment
undertaken which can be found within Appendix C.

4.2.2      Queuing

Based on the assumed development traffic volumes accessing Lot 3 (calculated as per the methodology outlined
in Section 8 and shown in Appendix D), A1 and A4 will account for 54% and 59% of total entry traffic during the
PM peak hour, and 46% and 41% for the Saturday peak hour periods respectively. Factoring in the total car
parking supply of 786 parking spaces for Lot 3, A1 and A4 are estimated to provide access to a maximum of 464
spaces (59% of 786) and 362 spaces (46% of 786) respectively.

In accordance with Table 3.3 of AS2890.1, a car park access of capacity more than 100 cars should provide queue
storage that is:
          1st 100 cars: 3% of capacity. = 3 cars of queuing storage
          2nd 100 cars: 2% of capacity. = 2 cars of queuing storage
          Additional cars: 1% of capacity. = 5.86 ~ 6 cars of queuing storage
          A minimum queueing length of 3 cars/lane.

As such, the proposed car park for Lot 3 with a capacity of 786 cars would require queue storage for eleven (11)
or 66m in total, or 33m for each driveway into the site. The proposed development has met this requirement
due to the following:
          For access A1 (northern access), the proposed design consists of approximately 40m of available queue
           distance from the road reserve boundary to the nearest parking space;
