 Proposed Noosa Civic Village Mixed Use Development




          RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments Technical Direction TDT 2013/04a (GTGD 2013).

Peak hour traffic demands for the development other than the retail (shopping centre) uses are forecasted
based on the following traffic generation data source and are summarised in Table 11:
          Residential Area – Adopted as the traffic generation rates provided for a ‘High density residential flat
           dwellings’ use in the Road and Maritime Service’s (RMS) Guide to Traffic Generating Developments
           Technical Direction TDT (2013/04a) (GTGD 2013).
          Commercial Use – The 85th percentile traffic generation rate for a ‘Office Park’ use was calculated from
           the respective Weekday PM and Saturday midday peak hour data from the QLD Open Data source.
Trips summarised in Table 11 are all assigned as ‘new’ trips on the road network. The assessed traffic volumes
are included at Appendix D.

                                                      Total                                                115 vph           65 vph

Noted that the development traffic demands outlined in Table 10 and Table 11 are considered to be
conservative as no allowance has been made for cross-utilisation. For instance, an employee might complete
grocery shopping after work as a shared trip to / from the proposed site. In addition, the peak traffic generation
of each component land use is unlikely to coincide in practice, however for the purposes of this assessment it
has been conservatively assumed that they will coincide. As such, SLR anticipates that in practice the peak traffic
generation will be lower than what is assessed herein.

8.6        Traffic Distribution
New trips to the proposed development have been distributed to the surrounding road network based on
economic data provided by Stockwell. Table 12 overleaf presents the distribution percentages provided and
further breaks these down based on the external road network.

The same traffic distribution proportions have been adopted for new trips generated by all developments,
including surrounding developments within the Noosa Business Centre masterplan.
