Dear Nadine,

RE: _ Information Request
MCU and ROL for a Proposed Multiple Housing Development
29-37 Grant Street, Noosa Heads
For Res Bella Pty Ltd

I refer to your correspondence requesting further information to be provided to Noosa
Council for the proposed Residential Development in Noosa Heads.

Information Requested
4. Council has concerns regarding the available sight distances along Grant
Street to the proposed vehicle access driveways for proposed Lots 2 & 3. In this
regard please provide a plan indicating the available site distances and provide
comment from a suitably qualified Traffic Engineer as to whether the available
sight distances are in accordance with AS/NZS2890. 1:2004.

Response

The sight visibility at the proposed access driveways on Grant Street has been assessed
with consideration to existing and proposed vegetation. According to Figure 3.2 of
AS/NZS 2890.1:2004, the required sight distance for a domestic property access with a
road frontage speed of 50km/h is 40m. Traffic flow on Grant Street is divided by an
existing central median. As a result vehicles entering and exiting the proposed access
driveways will be restricted to left-in and left-out movements only. The results of
assessment of sight visibility from each proposed access driveway is shown in the table
below.
