  Construction of the Gibson Road extension would
  see the role of Hilton Terrace in the road network
  reduced from that of a distributor road to that of a
  local road.

  Peak volumes on Hilton Terrace are not likely to vary
  significantly, as the road capacity is constrained
  between Doonella Bridge and Sidoni Street.
  Although the road currently functions as a distributor
  road, there is a need to calm the traffic as it also
  passes through this residential area that includes a
  high pedestrian generator at the Noosa Lakes Motel.
