4.2 2019 Base Traffic Operations

Population growth in the Shire is expected to remain relatively stable over the next 10 years,
reaching the Shire Council's maximum population levels as per the Council's planning scheme in
FY2013. As such, a conservative growth rate of 3% (compound) per annum was maintained

throughout the planning period of 2009-2019.

Traffic volumes during the 2019 AM and PM peak are illustrated in Figures B5 and B6.

The following table summarises the results of a traffic operational assessment for the three key
intersections that could potentially be affected by the proposed development for the 2019

planning horizon year.

The base 2079 Intersection Movement Summary for the intersections is provided in Appendix C.
