1.0 INTRODUCTION
Rytenskild Traffic Engineering (RTE) has been engaged by Stockwell Development Group Pty Ltd to
prepare a Transport Impact Assessment of its proposed Showroom development at Noosaville.
This report forms part of a Development Application to be lodged with Noosa Council. The following
issues have been addressed as part of the study:
• Adequacy of the proposed car parking supply;
• The proposed car parking layout and dimensions;
• Site access arrangements;
• Provision for service vehicle access;
• Provision for safe access by pedestrians and cyclists;
• Road network impact.
2.0 SUBJECT SITE
2.1 Location of Subject Site
The subject site is located within the Noosa Business Centre. As shown in Figure 2.1, the site is located
on a vacant lot on the eastern side of the Noosa Emporium. To the south, the site is bounded by a
private road which extends through the Noosa Civic precinct between Hofmann Drive and Walter Hay
Drive. For the purposes of this report, this private road is referred to as the ‘Noosa Civic private road’.
Site access will be provided via the existing connection to the Noosa Emporium car park located to the
west of the subject site. Both properties are under common ownership by Stockwell.

2.2 Local Road Network
The Noosa Civic private road is a two lane, two way road and provides for access to the various
commercial buildings within the Noosa Civic shopping centre.
The Noosa Civic private road connects to the wider road network via Hofmann Drive to the west and
Walter Hay Drive to the east. The existing intersection of Noosa Civic private road and the driveway
adjacent to the site includes a dedicated right turn lane, which has queuing capacity for approximately
six cars.
Images of the road network adjacent to the site are shown in Figure 2.2.
As shown in Figure 2.3, easements (AB, AC, AD and AE) are proposed to facilitate access to the site
and to also allow service vehicles to travel via the service laneway at the rear of the adjoining
building to the west.

are able to access, circulate and manoeuvre within the car park satisfactorily. Swept path diagrams are
provided in Figures 4.3 – 4.10.
The 10 car parking spaces located to the rear of the development are intended for staff parking only.
Given the low volume of one-way vehicle movements throughout the day, their location is considered
satisfactory and is not expected to give rise to any safety or operational concerns.

5.0 PROPOSED ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS
Access to the proposed development will be provided via the existing car parking area associated with
the Noosa Emporium to the west. Vehicles will enter the site via the existing connection from the
Noosa Civic private road and circulate through the adjoining car parking area before accessing the
proposed development.
As part of the proposed development, the existing road arrangement adjacent to the site will be
modified to provide a two-way connection, allowing vehicles to directly enter and exit the
development area without requiring circulation around the existing building to the west.
The proposed access arrangement incorporates a give-way treatment to manage vehicle movements
at the connection between the adjacent access road and the internal car park road.
The proposed give-way arrangements are shown in Figure 5.1.

6.0 PROVISION FOR SERVICE VEHICLES
6.1 Acceptable Outcome to Planning Scheme
The Noosa Planning Scheme does not nominate service vehicle requirements for the proposed use. As
a guide, the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme requires a development such as the proposed to make
provision for the following service vehicles :
• 1 x Van;
• 2 x Small Rigid Vehicles (SRV);
• 2 x Medium Rigid Vehicle (MRV);
• 1 x Heavy Rigid Vehicle (HRV).
The above provisions are based on floor area only and do not take into account the size and number
of tenancies.
6.2 Proposed Provision for Service Vehicle Access
Service vehicles will enter the site from the service lane that extends along the rear of the buildings to
the west of the site. They will then exit along the western side of the site to the Noosa Civic private
road.
The proposed plan of development provides the following loading bays at the rear of the building :
• 1 x Medium Rigid Vehicle (MRV);
• 1 x Heavy Rigid Vehicle (HRV).
In addition to the above, a shared loading area will allow multiple small delivery vehicles such as vans
and small rigid vehicles to access and service the site simultaneously.
It is considered that the proposed loading arrangements will function satisfactorily and provide
sufficient capacity for the scale of development proposed.
Swept path diagrams for a MRV and HRV are shown in Figures 6.1 – 6.4.

7.0 PROVISION FOR PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS
The layout of the proposed car parking area provides for safe pedestrian access between parking
spaces and the building.
A pedestrian connection has also been provided between the Noosa Civic private road and the
footpath aligned along the front of the buildings, and also linking to the existing showrooms to the
west. Pedestrian access across the Noosa Civic private road will be gained via the existing zebra
crossing to the west.
It is noted that Austroads recommends that bicycle parking be provided for retail showroom at the
following rates:
• Visitors - 1 space / 750m2 GFA
• Staff - 1 space / 1,000m2 GFA.
Provision has been made for up to 15 bicycles to be parked on site. This provision equates to
approximately 1 space per 200m2 GFA, which will easily cater for the demand of the proposal.
8.0 TRAFFIC IMPACT
The proposed development is located within the Noosa Business Centre and Major Centre Zone, which
accommodates a range of commercial activities with access provided via the established internal road
network servicing the Noosa Civic precinct.
The traffic generation associated with the proposal is expected to be relatively low in the context of
the surrounding commercial precinct, and is consistent with the existing commercial activities within
the Noosa Civic precinct.
Given the scale and nature of the proposed development, the expected traffic generation is not
considered sufficient to materially impact the operation or capacity of the surrounding road network.
Accordingly, detailed traffic impact modelling or external intersection analysis is not considered
necessary for this application.

9.0 SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
• The subject site is located within the Noosa Business Centre and Major Centre Zone at
Noosaville. The proposal comprises a 3,000m² commercial development including showroom
and office tenancies, with access provided via the existing Noosa Emporium car park and Noosa
Civic private road network.
• The proposal provides 120 car parking spaces, 3 motorcycle spaces and 15 bicycle spaces. The
proposed car parking provision satisfies the minimum requirements of Table 9.4.1.4 of the
Noosa Plan 2020, including the applicable motorcycle parking credit.
• The proposed car parking layout has been designed generally in accordance with
AS2890.1:2004, with swept path assessment confirming that the nominated vehicles can safely
access and manoeuvre within the site.
• The 10 parking spaces located to the rear of the development are intended for staff parking
only. Given the low volume of one-way vehicle movements throughout the day, their location
is considered satisfactory and is not expected to give rise to any safety or operational concerns.
• The proposed access arrangement improves vehicle circulation by providing a two-way
connection to the adjacent access road, with a give-way treatment incorporated to manage
vehicle priority and ensure safe operation.
• The proposed loading facilities provide suitable provision for MRV and HRV access, with swept
path assessment confirming that the required service vehicles can safely manoeuvre within the
site.
• The proposal provides appropriate pedestrian and bicycle facilities, including connections to the
existing pedestrian network within the Noosa Civic precinct.
• The development is located within an established commercial precinct and is expected to
generate relatively low traffic volumes. The proposal is not considered likely to materially
impact the operation of the surrounding road network and a detailed traffic impact assessment
is therefore not warranted.
In conclusion, the proposed development provides suitable access, parking, servicing and pedestrian
arrangements and can operate safely within the existing Noosa Civic precinct without requiring
external road upgrades.
