Response to Information Request - April 2019 Final

 Information Required
 5. Functional civil engineering layout plans showing details of the proposed road layout,
     intersection details, and potential access driveway locations for each allotment, as well as
     longitudinal sections for the proposed roads.

Response

 Barlow Shelly prepared draft civil engineering plans in response to Item 5.

 The plans provide for the proposed road layout, intersection details, longitudinal sections,
 access locations, water and sewerage locations and connections as well as stormwater
 management details (discussed further below). The civil engineering plans demonstrate how
 infrastructure is to be provided to adequately service the development.

 6. Traffic engineering report prepared by an RPEQ including assessment of:

     a) The traffic engineering aspects of the road layout details, intersection configurations, and
        access driveways requested in item 5.

     b) Justification for the proposed separation distances between intersections and driveways
        to the access roundabouts on Walter Hay Drive.

     c) Identify how the proposed transit facility at proposed lot 4 would be satisfactorily
        accessed and that the allotment size is sufficient to accommodate the transit facility,
        through provision of a concept layout.


     d) Comparison of the traffic generating potential of the proposed subdivision, with that
        envisaged by the masterplan, and then assessment of any additional impacts generated
        as a result.
Response

 Cardno have prepared a Technical Memorandum to address item 6.

 In summary, Cardno advise:

     •   The Noosa Business Centre will predominately gain vehicular access from the existing
         two roundabouts along Walter Hay Drive, with no additional external intersections
         being proposed. The spacing between the two existing Noosa Business Centre access
         intersections is 470m.

     •   The desirable minimum intersection spacing for Local Roads and Collector Roads is 60m
         and 75m, respectively for intersections located on the same side of the road. A review
         of the internal layout confirms the intersection spacing across the internal road network
         complies with the minimum spacing requirements for local and collector roads.

     •   In terms of traffic generation, the land uses envisaged and the developable yield for
