Traffic Impact Assessment Report
Settlers Cove Resort, Noosa Heads
Cape Bouvard Investments Pty Ltd

March 2009

10. CONCLUSION

This report has assessed the impact of traffic generated by the development site on the
external road network. Consideration has been given to access, operational
performance and car parking arrangements.

An assessment was carried out of the trips likely to be generated by the proposed
development and the estimated distribution of trips on the existing street network.

The impact of the proposed development on the road network has been analysed using
procedures set out in Austroads for assessing unsignalised intersections. According to
forecast traffic volumes the intersection of Serenity Close, Banksia Avenue, Grant
Street and Katharina Street will operate adequately in the planning horizon of 2022
with uninterrupted flow conditions.

It is recommended that consideration be given to changing the priority of Grant Street
and Banksia Avenue to allow through movements priority from Grant Street turning
right into Banksia Avenue.

The proposed parking arrangements have been reviewed and generally comply with
the requirements of The Noosa Plian’s Parking Requirements and AS2890.1.

There is excellent access linking existing pedestrian footpaths to the site and options
to access the district cycle routes from the site. This provides guests and staff with the
option to use an alternative mode and to reduce car trips on the local road network.

In conclusion, the proposed development is considered adequate with due regard to
impact on the road network, accessibility and parking. It will not adversely impact on
the operational performance of the road network in Noosa Heads.
