SLR have considered the guidance provided within Austroads and have applied it to the
context of the Noosa Civic development. Considering that the analysis extents only cover the
local road network, and the fact that the Noosa Civic is an existing shopping centre that has
already established travel patterns, the assessment undertaken herein only considers the
undiverted drop-in trips. The adopted drop-in trip rates are further summarised in Table 16.

8.6.2       Trip Distribution
New trips to the proposed development have been distributed to the surrounding road network
based on economic data provided by Stockwell. Table 17 presents the distribution
percentages provided and further breaks these down based on the external road network.
The same traffic distribution proportions have been adopted for new trips generated by all
developments, including surrounding developments within the Noosa Business Centre.
