TRANSPORT IMPACT ASSESSMENT
LOT 2 NOOSAVILLE COMMERCIAL CENTRE
RTE REF: 25353



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.
