Sight Distance Report for Proposed Duplex at
at Lot 93 (RP94566), No. 27 Hill Street Sunshine Beach, QLD, 4567.
Dear Andy & Pamela,
This letter is to address Issue 5 of Council’s information request, dated 14th June 2019 for Application
numbers MCU19/0055 and OPW19/0115.
The subject lot is located on the corner of Hill Street, Pacific Avenue and Henderson Street, Sunshine
Beach. Hill and Henderson Streets are defined as “Intermediate” roads and Pacific Avenue a “Minor” road
by the Noosa Plan 2019. All roads are two-lane, two-way streets.
The road speed limit of all surrounding roads is 50km/hr. The minimum required sight distance for
domestic property access with this speed limit is 40 metres (Figure 3.2 of AS 2890.1) and is measured from
the approximate centre of the driveway, 2.5 metres from the kerb, to the centreline of the road in each
direction. The driver’s eye height and the height of the object (approaching vehicle) is taken as 1.15 metres
above the road surface.
It should be noted that other streets are visible from the proposed driveways of both Unit A and Unit B. An
aerial view of the area is presented in Figure 1. A summary of the sight distances is presented Table 1
below.
Table 1 – Sight Distances
Sight Distance to Centreline of Road
View Left View Right
45.2m (Pacific Avenue) 74.1m (Ross Crescent)
Unit A

74.1m (Pacific Avenue)
52.7m (Henderson Street)
Unit B > 75m (Elanda Street)
46.2m (Hill Street)
35m Wildflower Street
The above sight distances, as measured, are presented in Appendix A of this report.

Figure 1 – Aerial View
The locations of both proposed driveways are not within the prohibited distances to intersections as defined
by Figure 3.1 of AS 2890.1. However, there is reduced sight distance to Wildflower Street from the driveway
of Unit B. However, right-turning traffic leaving Wildflower Street must give way to traffic already on Pacific
Avenue. The road treatments at the intersection of Wildflower Street and Pacific Avenue (pedestrian island
and broken give-way line marking) and reduced sight distance to the left are likely to significantly reduce
the travel speed of right-turning traffic leaving Wildflower Street. Therefore, the required sight distance
from the driveway of Unit B to Wildflower Street can be reduced. The sight distance of 35 metres to
Wildflower Street is considered acceptable.
At present, there are no obstructions to sight distance from either driveway, with the exception for a stand
of tress located on the eastern corner of the subject lot. These trees, as shown in Figure 2, are to be felled.
Some existing trees on Hill Street and Pacific Avenue are to be maintained, however, the branch network
of all surrounding trees to remain are higher than the line of sight. Hill Street and Pacific Avenue, on the
side of the subject lot, are both represented by yellow line marking, thus preventing parked vehicles from
limiting sight distance. Additional photographs are presented in Appendix B.

In conclusion, minimum sight distances are achieved to all roads, in both directions and from both
driveways. The only obstructions to sight distance are the tress identified by Figure 2 and shall not remain.
If you have any questions regarding the details supplied, please contact me on the number shown.
