RFI - Traffic engineering advice

The proposed driveway location on Butler Street has been assessed with reference to
Australian Standards for driveway access.

In order to assess the impact of the proposal it is necessary to establish existing
transport conditions within the surrounding area. A site investigation has been
undertaken to provide information for this study.

1. Existing Road Conditions
The existing property fronts the roundabout with Poinciana Avenue and Butler Street.
Driveways are spaced at regular intervals along this road and it is expected that drivers
are alert in this environment and would expect vehicles to enter and exit the road
from the existing driveways. The posted speed limit is 60km/h.

2. Proposal
Hayes Traffic Engineering has been engaged to assess the proposed access
arrangements from proposed lot 2 to Butler Street. The existing access which has
entry from Poinciana Avenue and exit direct to the roundabout provides access to two
units. The driveway was constructed in 2011 as part of the roundabout works by
Council. The intent is to maintain this access driveway, but reduce the trip generation
by constructing one new dwelling and demolishing the existing units.
