Bicycle parking spaces can be accommodated on site, between car park space 1 and the egress driveway.
Bicycle parking can be conveniently located to the front of the site, it is visible from the street, encouraging
persons to use alternative modes of transport to access the site.

4.5           Access, egress and traffic impact assessment
The service station will have two vehicular crossovers on Eumundi Noosa Road (one left-in ingress and one
left-out egress). All drivers would enter the site via the western ingress (left-in), circulate clockwise through the
site and leave the site via the eastern egress (left-out). There are two existing crossovers which enables a left-
in, left-out access/egress. These existing driveways will be altered slightly so to accommodate heavy ridged
vehicle requirements. As a result of adjusting the existing crossovers, the Council bus stop, located directly in
front of the site, is required to be relocated slightly west.
A Traffic Impact Assessment prepared by MRCagney is provided in Appendix D, detailing the developments
proposed access, egress and traffic impact assessment. The potential impact of the proposed development
on the external road network has been assessed in this report.
The traffic impact assessment determines that heavy vehicles will be able to enter and exit the site without
adversely impacting the functionality of Eumundi Noosa Road. The proposal is to primarily be serviced by a
19m articulated vehicle (AV) for fuel deliveries and serviced by 9.9m front-loading refuse collection vehicle for
the service station delivery and refuse collection. The loading bay has been provided to the southern side of
the building for the service station to accommodate delivery vehicles and refuse collection vehicles.
MRCagney have undertaken swept path analysis to demonstrate the manoeuvrability of a 19m AV entering
the site from Eumundi-Noosa Road, stopping to access the refuelling points, and then exit the site in a forward
gear via Eumundi-Noosa Road. Reversing movements are kept to an absolute minimum. The AV is anticipated
to service the site infrequently; therefore, is expected to have minimal impact on the operation of the service
station.
Traffic Impact Assessment Report has also addressed Council’s concern regarding the separation distance
between the site’s access/ egress locations and the intersection that is within proximity of the site.

Overall, the traffic assessment demonstrates that the relatively low volume of development generated traffic
should have negligible impact on the operation of the surrounding road network.

Please refer to the Traffic Impact Assessment prepared by MRCagney at Appendix D for further details.

4.6           Landscaping / open space
Extensive high quality landscape spaces have been incorporated in the proposed development, comprising
three main areas:
      1. Within the sites boundaries:                                296m2
      2. Between the Northern boundary and footpath (turf):          163m2
      3. Between Footpath and back of kerb (turf):                   92m2
