2.3   Road Network
      David Low Way is an arterial road which runs on a north – south alignment and provides a coastal link
      between Maroochydore and Noosa. Along the site frontage it is median divided, with a single lane of
      traffic and a cycle lane in each direction. The posted speed limit on the section of road adjacent to the
      site is 40km/h. David Low Way is also a bus route with indented bays on both sides of the road adjacent
      the site frontage.

2.4   Approved Development
      The subject site currently has approval for visitor accommodation, issued by the Planning and
      Environment Court in 2012 (Appeal No. 4783 of 2008).

      A revised material change of use application for the Peregian Village Market (shopping centre)
      development was submitted to Noosa Council in December 2013 (reference MCU13/0251). The
      Traffic Impact Assessment (prepared by Holland Traffic Consultants and dated December 2013)
      undertaken in support of the shopping centre development estimated the traffic generated by the overall
      development, including the short-term residential accommodation on the balance land. This Traffic
      Impact Assessment adopted the following assumptions in terms of the short-term residential
      accommodation on the balance land:

            a total of 30 (two, three and four-bed) multi-story cabins and 32 shared units (usable as 64 units,
            accommodating up to 320 persons)
            a traffic generation of 30 vehicle movements per hour in both the morning and evening peak
            hours

      This traffic generation was included in the capacity analysis of the David Low Way / Sandpiper Court
      intersection. The Traffic Impact Assessment and the follow up Traffic Response to the Noosa Council
      Request for Information (prepared by Holland Traffic Consultants and dated March 2014) demonstrated
      that the upgraded David Low Way / Sandpiper Court intersection would have sufficient capacity to
      accommodate the predicted traffic generated by both the shopping centre development and the short-
      term residential accommodation on the balance land.
