Peak hour traffic demands for the Noosa Business Centre surrounding developments are
forecasted based on the following traffic generation data sources and are summarised in
Table 14:
       Bulky Goods – The 85th percentile traffic generation rate for a ‘Retail Bulk Warehouse’
        use was calculated from the respective Weekday PM and Saturday midday peak hour
        data from the QLD Open Data source.
       Retail – The retail component of Lot 3 is planned to be connected to Lot 1 with a
        pedestrian walkway and therefore functioning as one shopping centre. As a result, the
        trips expected to be generated by the retail component of Lot 3 was included in the
        calculations of the expansion of Lot 1 and is addressed in Section 8.6.1.1.
       Commercial Use – The 85th percentile traffic generation rate for an ‘Office Park’ use
        was calculated from the respective Weekday PM and Saturday midday peak hour data
        from the QLD Open Data source.
       Gymnasium – The TfNSW commissioned PeopleTrans in 2014 to conduct a survey
        to determine the trip rates for various gymnasiums. The resulting report, The Trip
        Generation and Parking Demand Surveys of Gymnasiums, Data and Analysis Report,
        was therefore used to source the trip rate for gymnasiums. The results summarised in
        Table 5.3 indicated that the average trip rate for the surveyed sites was 3.6 per 100m2
        of GFA. The same rate was applied to both peak periods.
       Residential Area – Adopted as the traffic generation rates provided for a ‘High density
        residential flat dwellings’ use in the Road and Maritime Service’s (RMS) Guide to
        Traffic Generating Developments Technical Direction TDT (2013/04a) (GTGD 2013).
       Childcare – Traffic Impact Statement: Noosaville Childcare Centre Lot 4, Noosa
        Business Centre by SLR, dated March 2023. The average traffic generation rate for a
        ‘Childcare’ use was calculated from the respective Weekday PM peak hour data from
