TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

This Traffic Management Plan outlines the procedure for the bulk refilling of the underground fuel tanks at a
proposed service station by an articulated tanker vehicle. The Traffic Management Plan has been prepared in
response to item 24 of the Noosa Council Information Request (dated 27 January, 2015) for Development

Application MCU14/0102.

Fuel deliveries can be completed at any time of the day or night. However, the timing of the deliveries would be
scheduled to avoid the peak periods of service station operations. Fuel deliveries may take up to one hour to

complete, depending on the amount of fuel to be unloaded.
As demonstrated in the attached Figure A:

w= _ the fuel tanker can access the development site from Eumundi Noosa Road and stand immediately to the
west of the service station forecourt to undertake bulk refilling operations

mm _ the fuel tanker can stand at this location without obstructing traffic movements into and out of the
development site

m= _ the presence of a vehicle using the bowser at Fuel Dispenser 1 will not obstruct the movement of the fuel
tanker from the site entry driveway to its designated refilling position

== upon completion of bulk refilling operations, the fuel tanker would be able to exit the development site

and back on to Eumundi Noosa Road

It is recommended that prior to the arrival of the fuel tanker, service station staff would close Fuel Dispensers 1
and 2 for customer refuelling. This would be managed by using traffic cones and signage. By doing so, this will
ensure that there are no vehicles at Fuel Dispensers 1 and 2 and no vehicles queuing when the fuel tanker arrives.
These measures will effectively eliminate any potential conflicts between fuel tankers and customer vehicles at
the site. Therefore, it is considered that bulk refilling operations will not have any adverse impact on traffic

movements on Eumundi Noosa Road.
If you have any questions regarding the issues discussed above, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,
