8          SITE ACCESS

A Traffic Report has been prepared under separate cover. A summary of the Traffic Impact Assessment
is provided as follows:
The all movements’ access on the western boundary of the site has shown minimum sight distance
requirements as per Austroads Guide to Road Design – Part 4A: Unsignalised and Signalised
Intersection.
This site access was originally proposed as a left-in left-out access and was considered generally
unacceptable in the pre-lodgement meeting. It has since been reduced to a left in only and therefore not
required to meet intersection sight distance requirements with the following supporting information;

 The existing road is required to provide stopping sight distance SSD;
 Gateway Drive has a low operating speed due to the geometry of the road and proximity to the
  roundabout;
 A keep clear zone will be provided within the site with adequate storage for a 12.5m HRV to ensure
  no disruption is caused to through traffic;
 Maintaining two site access points will eliminate the requirement of trucks to perform internal
  turnaround maneuvers or reverse into the road;
 Adequate turn path provisions are provided.


9          ELECTRICITY AND COMMUNICATIONS SUPPLY

The DBYD information (attached at Appendix C) and a phone call to Energex confirmed that the site
has multiple power connection options including overhead and underground power. The selection of the
appropriate connection requires detailed information on the sites expected power usage and will be
defined at the operational works stage of this project.

The DBYD information also revealed the location of communication network infrastructure with Optus
underground network cables running along the northern side of Eumundi-Noosa Road with an Optus pit
located to the west of the intersection of Gateway Drive and Eumundi-Noosa Road. The location of this
communications infrastructure is attached at Appendix C.
