1 Introduction Cardno was retained by Stockland Pty Ltd to undertake a traffic and transport assessment of the proposed residential subdivision located east of Davis Road in Tarneit. A Section 96 application is being sought for the subdivision as the Precinct Structure Plan for the development area is not yet completed. In the course of preparing this assessment, the subject site and its environs have been inspected, plans of the development examined, and all relevant traffic data collected and analysed. 18 February 2013 Cardno 5

2 Existing Conditions 2.1 Location and Land Use The subject site is located east of Davis Road and North of Hogans Road, as shown in Figure 2-1. The site is generally irregular in shape bordered by Davis Creek and existing residential development to the north and east, Hogans Road to the south and Davis Road to the west. Figure 2-1 Site Location Copyright Melway Publishing Pty Ltd The subject site is currently undeveloped rural land, with surrounding land use generally residential to the east and rural land to the west. 18 February 2013 Cardno 6

2.2 Road Network 2.2.1 Davis Road Davis Road aligned north-south between Boundary Road to the north and Werribee River to the south. The continuation of Davis Road north of Boundary Road is Troups Road, which extends north to the Western Freeway Davis Road is unsealed along the site frontage between Sayers Road and Hogans Raod as shown in Figure 2-5. North of Sayers Road, Davis Road has been sealed as far north as Isabella Drive as shown in Figure 2-3 Figure 2-2 Davis Road, looking south from Sayers Road Figure 2-3 Davis Road, looking north from Sayers Road 18 February 2013 Cardno 7

2.2.2 Sayers Road Sayers Road is aligned east west between Shanahans Road to the west and Old Geelong Road in Williams Landing to the east. Between Davis Road and Tarneit Road, Sayers Road has a single sealed carriageway with one traffic lane in each direction. Between Tarneit Road and Derrimut Road, Sayers Road has been duplicated. East of Derrimut Road, Sayers Road is largely a single carriageway Declared Main Road, with some supplicated sections near key intersections. Ultimately Sayers Road will upgraded and duplicated along its entire length. To the west of Davis Road, Sayers Road is an unsealed rural standard gravel road. Figure 2-4 Sayers Road, looking east adjacent to Davis Road As shown in the preceding figure, the Davis Road / Sayers Road intersection is currently controlled by stop signs on the Davis Road approaches, giving priority to Sayers Road. A basic right turn treatment has been provided on Sayers Road for vehicles turning right into Davis Road from Sayers Road. 18 February 2013 Cardno 8

Figure 2-5 Sayers Road, looking west from Davis Road 18 February 2013 Cardno 9

2.2.3 Hogans Road West of Davis Creek, Hogans Road is rural standard road aligned east west, as shown in Figure 2-6. Between Davis Creek and Tarneit Road, Hogans Road has been along development frontages to include a single traffic lane in each direction. East of Tarneit Road, Hogans Road has been duplicated and comprises of a divided carriageway with two lanes in each direction. Figure 2-6 Hogans Road, looking east from Davis Road. 18 February 2013 Cardno 10

2.3 Sustainable Transport 2.3.1 Public Transport The subject site has limited access to public transport, with the closest bus service operating along Hogans Road up to Thames Boulevard. Two additional bus services are accessible at the intersection of Sayers Road and Tarneit Road. The closest train stations are Werribee and Hoppers Crossing approximately 4.5km to the south. 2.3.2 Bicycle Network The Principle Bicycle Network (PBN) has been compiled by VicRoads in consultation with the metropolitan councils and relevant stakeholders to show existing and proposed bicycle transport routes throughout metropolitan Melbourne. The PBN maps show a network of cycle routes that provide access and connectivity between key destinations. The PBN in the vicinity of the subject site is shown in Figure 2-7. Figure 2-7 Principal Bicycle Network near Subject Site Subject Site 18 February 2013 Cardno 11

3 Background 3.1 Precinct Structure Plan The subject site is located within the Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) area 1091 known as Riverdale, which is currently being prepared by the Growth Areas Authority (GAA). The Riverdale PSP area is shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 Precinct Structure Plans Subject Site As shown in the preceding figure a number of precinct structure plans are being prepared in the Tarneit area. Riverdale and Truganina PSP s are in the preparation stage, whilst Tarneit North and Oakbank are in the pre-planning stage. 3.2 Traffic Modelling Extensive future traffic modelling of the Wyndham North area has been undertaken by another traffic consultant for the GAA. The results of the modelling are for an Ultimate Development scenario, which is anticipated to occur around 2046. A summary of the modelled future traffic volumes adjacent to the subject site are shown in Table 3-1 with the detailed output attached as Appendix A. 18 February 2013 Cardno 12

Table 3-1 Road Segment GAA Ultimate Development Traffic Volumes Daily Traffic Volumes (vpd) Northbound / Eastbound Southbound / Northbound Two Way Davis Rd, south of Sayers Rd 12000 12800 24800 Davis Rd, north of Hogans Rd 8500 7000 15500 Sayers Rd, west of Davis Rd 12200 11900 24100 Sayers Rd, east of Davis Rd Not stated 11000 23000-24000 estimated East West Connector Rd, west of Davis Rd East West Connector Rd, east of Davis Rd 7400 6900 14300 1300 1500 2800 Hogans Rd, west of Davis Rd 11000 11100 22100 Hogans Rd, east of Davis Rd 14100 12700 26800 The East West Connector is located approximately midblock through the subject site, providing a connection between the future Neighbourhood Activity Centre west of Davis Road and the residential subdivision currently under construction on the eastern side of Davis Creek. Through the subject site, the East West Connector is expected to carry 2,800 vehicles per day. As shown in the preceding table, Davis Road adjacent to the northern portion of the subject site is ultimately expected to carry in the order of 15,500 vehicles per day (vpd) with an approximately 24,800 vpd on Davis Road adjacent to the southern portion of the site. 18 February 2013 Cardno 13

4 Proposed Development 4.1 General It is proposed to develop the site with residential subdivision including standard and medium density dwellings and associated open space. It is anticipated that the site will contain in the order of 998 lots, including two medium density sites containing approximately 58 dwellings, giving a total yield of approximately 1054 dwellings as shown in Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1 Proposed Development Plan 4.2 Development Staging It is anticipated that the development will be constructed in stages, commencing at the northern end and proceeding south. An application for early works has also been submitted for the purpose of constructing a display village, sales and information office and associated car parking at the northern end of the subject site. 18 February 2013 Cardno 14

4.3 Road Network The proposed road network for the ultimate development scenario is shown in Error! Reference source not found., which includes traffic signals at the following intersections: Davis Road / Sawyers Road Hogans Road / Davis Road Davis Road / Midblock subdivision access Figure 4-2 Road Network for Ultimate Development Left in / Left out Legend: Primary Arterial Connector Road Access Street Lv 1 Traffic Signals Roundabout Left In / Left Out Left in / Left out (potentially fully directional unsignalised intersection depending on development west of Davis Rd) Left in / Left out Fully Directional 18 February 2013 Cardno 15

As shown in the preceding figure a number of the access points to the subject site will ultimately be restricted to left in / left out movements only. However as there is currently no development west of the subject site, it is anticipated that the proposed access points can operate as fully directional unsignalised access points until such time as development on the western side of Davis Road requires the left in / left out restrictions to be introduced. The proposed Interim road network is shown in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3 Interim Road Network Access 1 Legend: Connector Road Access Street Lv 1 Roundabout Access 2 Access 3 Access 4 Access 5 18 February 2013 Cardno 16

4.4 Road Hierarchy As shown in the road network plan the road hierarchy will consist of Connector Roads, Access Street Level 1 and Access Places. The proposed cross sections are summarised in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Proposed Cross-Sections Road Hierarchy Ultimate Road Reserve Carriageway Indicative Vehicles per Day (vpd) Speed Limit km/hr Cycle Path Davis Road 34m 2 x 7.0m + 2.0m bike lane Hogans Road 34m 2 x 7.0m + 2.0m bike lane 12,000-40,000 vpd 12,000-40,000 vpd 60-70 2 x 2.0m bike lane on road 60-70 2 x 2.0m bike lane on road Connector Road 25m 7.0m + 1.7m bike lanes + 2.3m parallel parking both sides 3,000-7,000 50 2 x 1.7m bike lane on road Access Street Level 1 16m 7.3m 2,000 vpd 50 On Road Access Street Level 1 adjacent to reserve 14m 7.3m 2,000 vpd 50 On Road Access Place 12m 5.5m 1,000 50 On Road 4.5 Pedestrians and Cyclists The VicRoads Principle Bicycle Network (PBN) does not extend past the subject site, however it is anticipated that the shared path beside Davis Creek south of Hogans Road will extend north adjacent to the subject site. A good level of pedestrian connectivity has been provided throughout the site, with footpaths proposed along both sides of Connector Roads and Access Streets, with the exception of Access Streets adjacent to Davis Creek or reserve land, which will have a footpath adjacent to dwellings but not the reserve land. In addition to footpaths throughout the estate, residents will have access to a shared path along Davis Creek providing recreational walking paths. The on road and shared path bicycle paths are shown in Figure 4-4. 18 February 2013 Cardno 17

Figure 4-4 Proposed Bicycle Routes On Road Bike Paths Shared Path 4.6 Public Transport The PSP will outline potential bus routes throughout the PSP area, which has not been undertaken at this stage however it is anticipated that bus services will most likely be provided along Davis Road, Hogans Road, Sayers Road and potentially the East West Connector Road. Bus services along Davis Road and Hogans Road would provide a good level of public transport for the subject site, with the majority of lots within 400 metres walking distance. An additional bus service along the East West Connector would ensure that all lots had convenient access to public transport. 18 February 2013 Cardno 18

5 Residential Subdivision Design 5.1 Growth Areas Authority Standards The Growth Area Authority has published the Engineering Design and Construction Manual, which documents various standards for the design and construction of residential subdivisions, including the standard road cross-sections shown in Table 5-1. Table 5-1 Traffic Volume Target Operating Speed Carriageway Width Parking Within Street Verge Width Footpath Provision Cycle Provision Standard Cross-Sections Access Lane Access Place 300 vpd 300-1000 vpd Access Street 1 1000-2000 vpd Access Street 2 2000-3000 vpd Connector Street 3000-7000 vpd Truck Collector 7000-12000 vpd Arterial 12000-60000 vpd 10 km/h 15 km/h 30 km/h 40 km/h 50 km/h 60 km/h 60-80 km/h 6m 5.5m 7.3m 6m 7m 2 x 3.5m lanes each way None Unmarked Unmarked 2.3m marked both sides As required for services 4.5 / 4.2m 4.5 / 4.2m 4.7m min each side 2.3m marked both sides 5m min each side 2.3m marked both sides 5.25m min each side 2 x 10.5m (6 lane) 2 x 7.0m (4 lane) None 5m min None 2 x 1.5m 2 x 1.5m 2 x 1.5m 2 x 1.5m 2 x 1.5m 2 x 1.5m min None None None Optional 2 x 1.7m 2 x 1.7m 2 x 2.0m As discussed in Section 4.4, the proposed road hierarchy of the subject iste has been designed in accordance with the GAA guidelines. 18 February 2013 Cardno 19

6 Traffic Considerations 6.1 Traffic Generation Rates It is anticipated that the subject site will generate in the order of 8.7 vehicle movements per lot per day. This rate is based on case study data undertaken by Cardno at the Westleigh Gardens Estate on the Princes Highway, to the west of the Werribee Town Centre in April 2010. The Westleigh Gardens estate includes 486 dwellings, and whilst serviced by a local bus route, does not have any local facilities such as shops or schools within walking distance, and therefore many residents are dependent on car travel for such activities. Residential traffic generation during road network peak times, is typically equal to 10 per cent of the daily traffic generation, however a conservative rate of 1 vehicle movement per lot during the peak hours has been adopted. 6.2 Traffic Distribution 6.2.1 VISTA 07 The Victorian Integrated Survey of Travel and Activity 2007 (VISTA 07) is a survey of personal travel by residents of Melbourne, Geelong and the regional centres of Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and Latrobe, undertaken by the Department of Transport in 2007 and 2008. To assist in the distribution of residential traffic, VISTA 07 survey results were sourced for the outer metropolitan areas of Melbourne, to determine the distribution of vehicle trips (as a driver or in a taxi) by trip purpose. The results of the VISTA 07 surveys are shown in Table 6-1. Table 6-1 VISTA 07 Trip Purpose Distribution Outer Metropolitan Melbourne Trip Purpose AM Peak PM Peak Daily Shopping 6% 18% 20% Education 28% 11% 9% Work 52% 45% 40% Recreation 2% 5% 6% Other 12% 21% 25% Total 100% 100% 100% Shopping and Education facilities are currently biased towards the south east of the subject site, however there are a number of proposed shopping centres and schools to the north east along Leakes Road that are anticipated to be in operation by the time the subdivision is complete or shortly thereafter. Likewise recreational facilities are fairly evenly spread to the east of the subject site. Work trips are anticipated to be primarily to the east, with some trips south to Werribee and the Princes Freeway. 6.2.2 General The Werribee River currently creates a barrier to the west, with limited opportunities to cross it in the vicinity of the subject site. It is anticipated that until the Outer Metropolitan Ring Road (OMRR) and the Regional Rail Link are constructed west of the site that the vast majority of traffic movements from the subject site will be to the east. Future residents will be able to access the surrounding road network as follows: North on Davis Road to Leakes Road East on Sayers Road East on Hogans Road 18 February 2013 Cardno 20

Tarneit Road via the East West Connector Road Based on a review of employment, retail, education and other key facilities, it is anticipated that traffic will be distributed over the surround road network as follows: Table 6-2 Direction Interim Directional Traffic Distribution Davis Road North to Leakes Rd 20% Sayers Road East 20% Hogans Road East 40% East West Connector 20% Total 100% Percentage The following percentage of inbound and outbound traffic during the AM and PM peak hours is shown in Table 6-3. Table 6-3 Residential Subdivisions Traffic Distribution Peak Period Outbound Inbound AM Peak Hour 80% 20% PM Peak Hour 40% 60% 6.3 Generated Traffic Volumes Applying the preceding traffic generation rates and distribution assumptions to the proposed subdivision, results in in the daily and peak hour traffic volumes shown in Table 6-4. Table 6-4 Peak Period Peak Hour Traffic Generation Vehicle Trips Per Hour Number of dwellings/ lots Total Outbound Inbound AM Peak Hour 1054 1054 vph 843 210 PM Peak Hour 1054 1054 vph 422 632 Daily 1054 9170 vpd 4585 4585 As shown in the preceding table the subject site is anticipated to generate in the order of 9170 vehicle movements per day, with 1054 vehicle movements during the AM and PM peak hours. 6.4 Daily Traffic Volumes Based on the preceding distribution assumptions the daily traffic volumes generated by the subject site were modelled, with the results shown in Figure 6-1. 18 February 2013 Cardno 21

Figure 6-1 Anticipated Interim Daily Traffic Volumes 2350 3250 200 1700 0 3850 1350 2900 1250 1200 820 1300 1400 3000 3700 As shown in the preceding figure all Level 1 Access Street are anticipated to carry less than 2,000 vehicles per day, with the exception of the access to Hogans Road, which is expected to carry in the order of 3,000 vehicles per day at the southern end. The traffic volumes at this access will decrease once services such as the proposed Neighbourhood Activity Centre, schools and additional road connections are provided to the west. Ultimately this access will carry in the order of 1500-2000 vehicles per day, and therefore it has been designed as an Access Street Level 1. The interim scenario has been modelled without a connection over Davis Creek on the East West Connector. Once the creek connection is in place it is anticipated that it will carry in the order of 2000 18 February 2013 Cardno 22

vehicles per day from the proposed development, primarily reducing the volumes generated to Sayers Road by a similar proportion. 6.5 Surrounding Development Stocklands have provided information in regards to potential other Section 96 developments to the north and west of the subject site. Based on the information provided, it is anticipated that approximately 2,450 lots may be developed over the next 8 years. Until road connections are constructed to the west, the primary access to the majority of these dwellings will be along Sayers Road. An interim intersection analysis was undertaken for the Sayers Road / Davis Road intersection as a roundabout. The analysis is summarised in the following section. 6.6 Intersection Analysis The operation of the Sayers Road / Davis Road intersection was analysed using SIDRA Intersection. This computer package, originally developed by the Australian Road Research Board, provides information about the capacity of an intersection in terms of a range of parameters, as described below: Degree of Saturation (D.O.S.) is the ratio of the volume of traffic observed making a particular movement compared to the maximum capacity for that movement. Various values of degree of saturation and their rating are shown in Table 6-5. Table 6-5 D.O.S. Up to 0.6 Rating of Degrees of Saturation Rating Excellent 0.6 to 0.7 Very Good 0.7 to 0.8 Good 0.8 to 0.9 Fair 0.9 to 1.0 Poor Above 1.0 Very Poor It is considered acceptable for some critical movements in an intersection to operate in the range of 0.9 to 1.0 during the high peak periods, reflecting actual conditions in a significant proportion of suburban signalised intersections. The 95th Percentile (95%ile) Queue represents the maximum queue length, in metres, that can be expected in 95% of observed queue lengths in the peak hour; and Average Delay is the delay time, in seconds, which can be expected over all vehicles making a particular movement in the peak hour. The results of the SIDRA Intersection analysis are attached as Appendix B and summarised in Table 6-6. 18 February 2013 Cardno 23

A detailed summary of the Sidra analysis is provided in Appendix B. 18 February 2013 Cardno 24

7 Conclusions Based on the preceding discussion it is concluded that; > The proposed subdivision will include both standard and medium density dwellings as well as open space. > The development will include approximately 1054 residential dwellings. > The proposed road hierarchy has been designed in accordance with the guidelines prepared by the Growth Areas Authority (GAA). > Access to the estate will be provided from Davis Road, Hogans Road and eventually the East West Connector Road. Four access locations are proposed on Davis Road including traffic signals approximately midway between Sayers Road and Hogans Road. The unsignalised intersections on Davis Road will initially be fully directional and converted to left in / left out once Davis Road is duplicated. A single unsignalised fully directional access is proposed on Hogan Road. > The subject site is anticipated to generate in the order of 1054 vehicle movements in the peak hours and 9170 vehicle movements per day. > The Davis Road / Sayers Road intersection will ultimately be signalised as development progresses to the west. In the interim it is proposed to construct a roundabout at this intersection. > A SIDRA analysis of the proposed Davis Road / Sayers Road intersection indicates that it will have very good operating conditions in both the AM and PM peak hours. 18 February 2013 Cardno 25
