“Specialist services and practical solutions”



       Having regard to the most relevant performance outcomes under the Driveways and Parking
       Code, the following comments are made:

       •   Some minor improvements have been recommended under the Traffic Impact Assessment
           (TIA) to maintain safety, capacity and the operation of the existing road network. Further,
           the existing character and amenity of the streetscape will not be adversely affected by any
           works with existing vegetated screening fronting the Eumundi Noosa Road, which is to be
           enhanced under the current approval (PO1).
       •   The traffic expert has concluded that the existing access and egress is suitable and safe for
           the intended use but has recommended some upgrading in Eumundi Noosa Road to the
           dedicated channelised right turn lane being provided. It is noted that the egress from the
           site has already been modified to prevent right turns to mitigate the risk of angle crashes
           (PO2).
       •   The single access/egress location is being maintained in the same location and form
           subject to the modifications as explained in the TIA (PO3).
       •   The traffic expert has considered the existing access and egress and with the mitigation
           measures proposed the capacity, operation and maintenance of the existing infrastructure
           will be improved (PO4).
       •   Under table 9.4.1.4, minimum parking requirements for a utility installation is to be
           sufficient for the intended use. The proposed composting development will not
           substantially increase the demand for parking with six (6) spaces to be provided for the
           composting facility on this part of the site. There is a much larger area provided for parking
           as shown on the Master Plan (refer Figure 2) (PO6).
       •   The proposed development for the composting facility provides for additional
           weighbridges and an improved internal roadway configuration as part of the design. On-
           site vehicle parking and manoeuvring area and loading and manoeuvring areas for delivery
           and service vehicles have also been considered in the design (PO7).
       •   One of the proposed carparking spaces for the composting facility is provided for disability
           access (PO9).
       •   The ingress and egress point for the site is existing and is being improved as part of the
           development to improve safety and onsite operations (PO10).
       •   The proposed composting facility will not generate a significant increase in traffic
           movements or a significant demand for parking with adequate within the site in any event
           (PO16); and
       •   The parking and manoeuvring areas within the site will be considered under the ultimate
           Stormwater Management Plan (PO17-P019).

       Some mitigation measures are being undertaken for the existing ingress and egress as
       recommended by the traffic expert. The proposed development does not raise any safety
       concerns, given the scale of operation with an expected additional 34 vpd, which will not have
       a significant impact on the major road network.

       The proposed development including the composting facility, new weighbridges and internal
       road modifications comply with the Driveways and Parking Code.
