                                                                                                                        Including amendments to 3 July 2017
                                                                                                            The Noosa Plan
                                                        Code
14.140 Transport, Roads and Drainage Code
             The provisions in this division comprise the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code. They
             are—
                 compliance with the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code (section 14.142);
                 overall outcomes for the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code (section 14.143);
                  and
                 specific outcomes and probable solutions for the Transport, Roads and Drainage
                  Code (sections 14.144—14.151).


14.141 Compliance with the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code
             Development that is consistent with the specific outcomes in Sections 14.144 to 14.151
             complies with the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code.

14.142 Overall outcomes for the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code

14.142.1 The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code.

14.142.2 The overall outcomes sought for the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code are the
         following—
a)        Development is consistent with the intentions of the strategic transport network, which is to--
       i.   improve the coordination between transport and land use, to avoid excessive motor vehicle
            travel;
      ii.   minimise the environmental and social impacts of transport on the natural and urban
            environment;
     iii.   increase the use of walking, cycling, bus, train and ferry modes and minimise the use of
            the private car;
     iv.    ensure that vehicle access to the development does not compromise the capacity and
            safety of the road system;
      v.    not increase the scale of the road network beyond that currently planned; and
     vi.    ensure that development appropriately attenuates noise from adjoining roads.
b)      Development works are designed and constructed to a standard that meets community
        expectations, prevents unacceptable off-site impacts and optimises whole of life cycle costs;
c)      Roads are designed and constructed to satisfy their specified functions and provide an
        appropriate level of flood immunity (including local flooding on roads, i.e. through sufficient
        kerb storage capacity);
d)      Development provides appropriate buffering between noise sensitive uses and the major road
        network and rail corridors;
e)      Roads are designed and constructed to be compatible with the existing road network and
        hierarchy and to provide a safe environment for vehicular traffic, pedestrians and cyclists;
f)      Intersections and access points are designed and constructed to retain the low key
        development style and slower pace enjoyed by residents and visitors;
g)      Road and drainage infrastructure is constructed to a standard that minimises ongoing
        maintenance costs;
h)      Drainage systems are designed and constructed with capacity to effectively manage or
        convey the design flow;
