Att5 - Traffic Impact Report

5          Assessment of Site Layout
5.1        Car Parking
The main (formal) car parking at the front of the site is existing.
The new car parking areas are informal, with the parking areas shown as 5.5m long and 2.5m wide
(minimum), which meets the requirements of the Australian Standard for Off Street Car Parking for low
turnover parking.

5.2        Gradients
Information is to be provided and reviewed by the Civil Engineer in relation to gradients on the proposed
internal roads.

5.3        Servicing and Bus Accessibility
The subject site requires access by buses / coaches and delivery vehicles.
The accessibility of the site by the required design vehicles, specifically a 12.5m coach (as per AUSTROADS)
and 14.5m coach (as per AUSTROADS) have been considered in the design. The design has been informed
by the results of swept path assessments.
Graphical outputs of the swept path assessments, undertaken utilising the computer program AutoTRACK,
are reproduced at Appendix C to this advice. The swept path assessments demonstrate:
        Buses can enter and exit the site in a forward gear.
        Buses can access the loop road for each Village for pick up and drop off, travelling in a clockwise
         direction.
        Buses can access Kabi Road to/from Cootharaba Road, utilising the existing intersection form.
        A 12.5m Heavy Rigid Vehicle (HRV) can rear load in the loading area provided adjacent to the
         “Communal Area”.
As such, appropriate vehicle accessibility by the site design vehicles is anticipated for the development.

5.4        Vehicle Access
The proposal seeks to maintain connectivity to Kabi Road at its existing location, which is a continuation of
Kabi Road (gated), prior to a 90degree bend internally.
Swept path assessments demonstrating appropriate accessibility by the 14.5m coach (AUSTROADS 2013),
the site’s largest design vehicle, is provided at Appendix C.
