the driveway, i.e. a minimum width of 5.5m. On long driveways,
passing opportunities should be provided at least every 30m.”

The proposed development will generate 3 movements in a peak hour. All vehicles will
enter and exit the access onto Banksia Avenue in a forward direction. There is good sight
visibility along the easement.

It is also noted that Noosa Plan, Planning Scheme Policy 5 — Engineering Design
Standards — Roads, Drainage and Earthworks states in Section 2.4;

b) For easements with long access roads a passing lane is to be
constructed every 100m.

The access easement does not exceed 100m in length and therefore a passing lane is not
required.

Information Requested

6. Please demonstrate that vehicles reversing out of all the proposed spaces
within the garages at the rear of Lots 1, 2 and 3 can manoeuvre and leave their
respective sites without encroaching onto the adjoining property to the east.
Please note it is expected that conditions requiring the revision of existing access
and service easements required to provide access to Banksia Avenue will be
included in the approval, should it be approved, of the concurrently submitted
Reconfiguration of a Lot application. It is not envisaged at this stage that the
revised easements will also be providing access into the adjoining lots to the east
for any manoewvering.

Response

Vehicles exiting their respective driveway will manoeuvre within the designated access
easement. As outlined in the response to Item 5, traffic flow on the access easement is
expected to be very low, with an estimated traffic flow of 3 trips during the peak hour.
Given the proposed residential use for this development and the estimated traffic
generation, it is unlikely that two vehicles will be accessing the easement at any one time.
Appropriate landscaping will ensure that a vehicle reversing out of a garage is visible to a
vehicle traveling from the east on the access driveway.

Information Requested
2. Please provide additional comment on how the proposal achieves Specific
Outcome 030 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code with regard to the number of lots
utilizing the existing access driveway.

Response
The proposal has been reviewed with regard to the requirements of the Noosa Plan. An
extract of Specific Outcome 030 is shown below.
