Attachment 3 - Traffic Impact Assessment

24.   My conclusions / recommendations are:
             a. The proposed use is well located to minimise travel of vehicles associated with the use, being located
                adjacent to the Cooroy-Tewantin road corridor and being co-located with service station uses.
             b. The proposed use has a smaller traffic generating function than the approved shopping precinct, and
                as such will have a lower impact on road capacity and amenity to nearby residents than the approved
                use.
             c. The access solutions for the subject site are safe and adequate. The existing Elm Street / Diamond
                Lane intersection will be utilised for egress and DTMR’s crash database shows no history of casualty
                crashes at this location in 20 years.
             d. Alternative locations for the proposed use at industrial precincts at Jarrah Street and Holts Road
                would be less complementary and would involve larger diversions of vehicles from the Cooroy-
                Tewantin road corridor and an increase in unfamiliar users in an industrial area. A carwash use is
                not likely to be complementary to uses in the industrial precinct, and will reduce the opportunity for
                uses more appropriate to those locations (from a traffic engineering perspective) to locate there.
             e. From a traffic engineering perspective, the proposed development can be approved, with reasonable
                and relevant conditions.

      Yours faithfully
