5.1.3 Pearsons Road / Trading Post Road

Section 4.4 Unsignalised Minor Road Intersections within Austroads Part 5 states:

‘it is unnecessary to flare intersection approaches or cany out an intersection analysis when the
combinations of major and minor road volumes are less than those in the Table”.

The table being referred to is Table 4.1 - Intersection Capacity - Uninterrupted Flow Conditions
which has been shown below. This table indicates that an assessment is not required if the
peak hourly traffic volumes of the two-way major road and two-way minor road flows are less
than the following combinations:

As illustrated on Figures B11 and B12 within Appendix B of this report, the 2009 future design
traffic volumes at the Pearsons Road / Trading Post Rd intersection are expected to be below
the combinations shown in Table 4.1 of Austroads Part 5 (above). Therefore, intersection
capacity analysis at this intersection is not required.

Therefore, the introduction of the traffic generated by the proposed development will have

minimal impacts on the capacity or operations of the intersection of Pearsons Road and Trading
Post Road following implementation of the first stage of development in 2009.

5,2 Stage 2 Development (201 9)

As discussed in Section 3.5, the second stage (i.e. ultimate) development is to be comprised of
the following residential units:
