    3. Access Road and Intersection
The proposed new road intersects with Pavilion Street, which is urban local street generally 8m
wide kerb to kerb with a speed limit of 50kph (general urban unposted limit). The new intersection
is approximately 47 metres south of Tree Street and 68m north of Sandy Street which are both on
the opposite side of Pavilion Street. As such the intersection separation exceeds Councils
minimum requirements as set out in section SC6.7.5(1)(h)(iv)(A) of planning scheme policy 6 –
Engineering Design Standards.

The road reserve boundary is set back 6m from the existing nominal kerb alignment meaning
there is adequate space for a car to stop and see vehicles on Pavilion Street without being
impacted by property fences. The required safe intersection distance (SISD) in each direction for
vehicles exiting the new road, when taken 3-5m back from the nominal kerb line generally meets
the minimum requirements in Austroads Part 4A. The standard design requirements as set out in
table 3.2 for a 60kph design speed is between 114-123m. The visibility to the north is
unobstructed and exceeds 250m. The visibility to the south is slightly impacted by the low crest at
the intersection of Sandy Street and a sag in Pavilion Street approximately 115 south of Sandy
Street in front of No 20 Pavilion Street. The visibility in this direction is approximately 103m
(adjacent to the entry to the caravan park), however it should be noted that given this is an
existing street Extended Design Domain standards can be adopted which would reduce the
visibility requirements to between 81 and 89m. The visibility in this direction exceeds the EDD
sight distance requirements. A site check has confirmed that no clearing of existing vegetation is
required – refer photos below.
