7. Proposed Traffic Generation and Public Transport Capacity In Section 5.2 ‘Proposed Traffic Generation’, of the Applicant's ‘Transport and Parking Impact Assessment’, it applies trip generation rates for high-density residential development with high public transport accessibility from the Guide to Traffic Impact Assessment (GTIA). However, GTIA Table 5.11 (High Density Residential Sample Summary) notes that Sydney average rates are not recommended unless the proposed development is located within 800 metres of a major transport interchange or multiple public transport services with sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed development’s person trips.

3. Proposed Traffic Generation and Public Transport Capacity The report is required to: i. Demonstrate that the existing public transport services (bus and ferry) have sufficient spare capacity to accommodate the additional person trips generated by the development during peak periods in order to justify the usage of the utilised rates; or ii. If sufficient capacity cannot be justified, apply alternative and more appropriate GTIA trip generation rates consistent with the site’s actual public transport accessibility and service capacity. 93 Document Set ID: 8814790 Version: 5, Version Date: 13/02/2026

5. Temporary exclusion fencing must be installed along the rear boundary adjoining the public foreshore reserve prior to any works. No construction activities, material storage, or vehicle access are permitted beyond the site boundary. Existing foreshore vegetation must be protected and retained.
