GE33-N Our reference: 1810-8094 SRA Your reference: MCU18/0158 and RAL18/0017 20 November 2018 Kexron Pty Ltd C/- Pivotal Perspective Pty Ltd 4/59 Mary St Noosaville QLD 4566 [email protected] Attention: Mr Jack Lewis Dear Mr Lewis Information request (Given under section 12 of the Development Assessment Rules) The Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning has carried out a further review of your development application for the following premises. Location details Street address: 34 Elm Street, Cooroy Real property description: Lot 4 RP72698, Lot 5 RP72698 and Lot 6 RP72698 Local government area: Noosa Shire Council The Site Plan/Ground Floor Plan, prepared by And+ Design dated July 2018 and drawing number DA- 16.0518.2 identifies an awning that will protrude into the Elm Street footpath that will conflict with the existing bus stop ‘Elm St at Cooroy Station, Cooroy’ (TransLink ID: 700540, Hastus ID: 301598) which is locate at site frontage. The existing bus zone is located approximately 16.5 metres from Diamond Lane, and the plan shows the bus stop to be relocated approximately 10 metres to the north. Section 4 of the Traffic Assessment prepared by 360 Civil Consulting Pty Ltd, dated 18 September 2018, reference 2018082-rpt001 and revision B states that it is proposed to relocate the existing bus shelter on Elm Street approximately 10-15 metres to the north, and the bus bay approximately 5 metres to the north. Relocating the bus stop 10 metres to the north will result in a safety issue as the bus zone will be located approximately 6.5 metres from the intersection and the existing pedestrian crossing will be located within the bus zone. The department has determined that the following additional information is needed to assess the application against performance outcome 18 of State code 1: Development in a state-controlled road environment of the State Development Assessment Provisions version 2.3: South East Queensland (North) regional office Mike Ahern Building, Level 3, 12 First Avenue, Maroochydore Page 1 of 3 PO Box 1129, Maroochydore QLD 4558

Information requested—bus stop relocation
1. Discuss alternative locations or designs for the proposed awning over the Elm Street footpath that will
not conflict with the existing bus stop ‘Elm St at Cooroy Station, Cooroy’ (TransLink ID: 700540,
Hastus ID: 301598), or require that the bus stop is relocated.
2. Where it can be demonstrated that the development cannot feasibly avoid relocation of the bus stop,
the bus stop should be located as close as possible to its existing location. In accordance with
Transport Operations (Road Use Management – Road Rules) Regulation 2009, the separation
distance should be 10 metres from a non-signalised intersection to the start of the bus zone. Further
information about the proposed bus stop location is required that considers the following:
a. the operational considerations for the planning and design of bus stops in Section 5.5 - Bus
Stop Environment of Chapter 5 – Bus Stop Infrastructure (pages 15-21) of the Public
Transport Infrastructure Manual 2015 (available at: http://translink.com.au/about-
translink/reports-and-publications) and the Transport Operations (Road Use Management –
Road Rules) Regulation 2009, in particular stopping at intersections
b. conflict with the existing pedestrian refuge crossing arrangement across Elm Street. The
existing pedestrian refuge connects directly to the site frontage and the paved pedestrian
path on the opposite side of Elm Street. This provides direct pedestrian access to the Cooroy
train station and the bus stop pair ‘Elm Street at Cooroy Station, Cooroy’ (Hastus ID: 301599,
TransLink ID: 700548). The existing pedestrian crossing arrangement is direct, convenient
and integral to public passenger transport access and facilitating modal interchange. The
relocated bus stop must not result in a safety issue for the existing pedestrian refuge
c. potential constraints (e.g. stormwater drainage infrastructure, power poles, driveways etc)
including traffic hindrances and safety issues in relocating the bus stop (e.g. ingress/egress
points, queuing/deceleration of traffic, turn lanes, sight lines/distances and blind spots
affecting potential bus drivers and pedestrians)
d. design and construction requirements in accordance with Chapter 5 – Bus stop Infrastructure
of the Public Transport Infrastructure Manual 2015, with relevant components reinstated
where possible. A scaled and labelled proposal plan that clearly shows the positioning and
design of the relocated bus stop is required
e. where the relocated bus stop will not be located adjacent to the subject site, provide written
evidence that the relevant land owner/s do not object to the proposed location of the bus stop
where it is proposed to relocate the bus stop adjacent to the road frontage of a different site.
The due date for providing the requested information is 20 February 2019. Please complete the relevant
task in MyDAS2 to advise the department of your response to this information request.
As the department’s assessment of your application will be based on the information provided, it is
recommended that you provide all of the information requested. If you do not provide a response before
the above due date (or a further agreed period), it will be taken as if you have decided not to respond to
the information request and the department will continue with its assessment of your application without
the information requested.
As the department is a referral agency, a copy of this information request will be provided to the
assessment manager in accordance with section 12.3 of the DA Rules.
