Existig Traffic data Existig traffic data was requested from TCCS s ACT. We have bee iformed that traffic data is available for the followig 4 locatios: (locatio 1) Midblock - Mocrieff betwee Lowrie Street (North) to Lowrie Street (South) (locatio 2) Midblock Morphett Street - Mocrieff Street to Challis Street, West Mocrieff Street. (locatio 3) Midblock Morphett Street - Cowper Street - Guthrie Street, East Mocrieff Street. (locatio 4) Midblock Doorig Street Karuah Street to McGowa Street West Mocrieff Street We have obtaied the traffic data for the 4 midblock sites with the full data beig attached i Appedix B. As the oly midblock couts obtaied o Doorig Street were betwee Karuah Street to McGowa Street (west from Mocrieff Street) it has bee assumed that the similar amout traffic will head east from Mocrieff. From the traffic data provided by s-act the followig traffic volumes were observed: Locatio Locatio 1 (Southboud) Locatio 1 (Northboud) Locatio 2 (Eastboud) Locatio 2 (Westboud) Locatio 3 (Eastboud)) Locatio 3 (Westboud) Locatio 4 (Eastboud) Locatio 4 (Westboud) Estimated Traffic observed/ estimated AM Peak PM Peak Capacity (vpd) (VPD) (VPH) (VPH) 0 1,000 824 53 110 0 1,000 913 208 75 3,001 6,000 2909 518 251 3,001 6,000 2135 228 237 3,001 6,000 1710 170 162 3,001 6,000 1299 170 129 0 1,000 977 60 148 0 1,000 1137 304 78 Doorig St East after Mocrieff St 0 1,000 1137* 304* 78* *As oted above this is a estimate usig the data provided for the other side Doorig St From the traffic data provided, it ca be observed that: Mocrieff street is operatig at aroud 80-90% its omial capacity; No traffic data was obtaied for Lowrie Street; however give that Lowrie Street oly coects oto Mocrieff Street, it is safe to assume that it is operatig at below its omial capacity give the traffic volumes observed o Mocrieff Street.

Proposed Traffic Geeratio The curret proposal for the site will have the traffic geeratio rates as oted i the below tables. The traffic geerated for the 4 existig sigle dwelligs has also bee oted below to allow a compariso betwee precostructio to post costructio traffic geeratio to be made. The traffic rates oted were obtaied from the RTA Guide to Traffic Geeratig Developmets (October 2002) as well as the ACT Govermet Estate Developmet Pla (August 2016).

Morphett Street has ample capacity to absorb the additioal traffic grated with the existig road beig at aroud 50%. Doorig Street will cotiue beig at ad slightly over its capacity. Eve though the road is at its capacity it is likely that the additioal traffic geerated 42 assumig half the vehicles head south oto Doorig St) will ot have a measureable impact o the road as the icrease i traffic to the road represets a 5% icrease to the total traffic volume. I additioal to this small icrease the mea traffic speed alog Doorig Street was observed to be less tha 50Km/h as per the provided traffic data, makig this a icrease a egligible to very low risk traffic icrease.

Parkig Geeratio/ Requiremets The vehicular parkig demad, geerated from the proposed apartmet buildig has bee assessed agaist the requiremets i the Parkig ad Vehicular Access Geeral (3 October 2014). Locatioal Parkig Requiremets The locatioal requiremets for log stay, short stay, operatioal ad visitor parkig are as follows (Clause 3.1.4, Locatioal requiremets, Residetial zoes): For Residetial use: For log stay parkig (residet parkig), o site; For short stay/ visitor parkig, o site or withi 100m; Parkig Geeratio Rates The followig parkig geeratio rates i the Parkig ad Vehicular Access Geeral were used for the proposed developmet (schedule 1 parkig provisio rates for Residetial zoes). Space/type Area/ No. Rate Parkig Spaces Required 2-Bedroom Apartmet 20 1.5 spaces/apartmet 30 Log stay spaces Visitor Parkig N/A 1 space/ 4 apartmets 5 Visitor spaces Total Parkig Geerated 30 Log stay spaces 5 Visitor spaces Disabled Space Parkig Requiremets The ACTPLA Parkig ad Vehicular Access Geeral (Clause 2.2.4) sets out requiremets for the umber Disabled spaces to be provided. withstadig ay provisio i the Buildig Australia or i AS2890, parkig spaces for people with disabilities are to comprise a miimum 3% (rouded up to the earest whole umber) the total umber parkig spaces required i accordace with the code. Cosiderig the total geeratio parkig spaces from the previous sectio is expected to be approximately 35 spaces a miimum, (0.03*35) = (2) car parkig spaces are required to be desigated as disabled. Motorcycle Parkig Requiremets As per the requiremets Clause 2.4, Parkig for motorcycles ad motor scooters, Parkig ad Vehicular Access Geeral, the provisio rate for motorcycles is three (3) dedicated spaces per (100) vehicle parkig spaces, with a miimum oe (1) space for car parks with a miimum (30) parkig spaces.

Parkig & Traffic Provisio Coclusios It was cocluded that: Based o the curret Parkig ad Vehicular Access, the proposed developmet o Blocks 11-14 Sectio 6 Dickso meets all the required parkig provisios for parkig spaces, disabled spaces, motorcycle spaces ad residet bicycle parkig. A area should be omiated o the groud floor for Class 3 visitor bicycle parkig. This area should cotai istallatios which support the bicycle, which allow both the bicycle frame ad both wheels to be locked agaist such as metal hoops ad rails. From the traffic data obtaied from s ACT the earby roads Lowrie St, Mocrieff St & Morphett Street is assessed to have capacity to absorb the additioal traffic geerated by the proposed developmet. The traffic data provided suggest that Doorig Street will cotiue beig at ad slightly over its omial capacity. It is likely that the additioal traffic geerated (42vpd assumig half the vehicles head south oto Doorig St) will ot have a egative impact o the road as the icrease i traffic to the road represets a 5% icrease to the total traffic volume. I additio to the small traffic icrease o Doorig Street, the mea traffic speed alog Doorig Street was observed as less tha 50Km/h. From this it ca be accessed that the small icrease i traffic o Doorig Street represets a egligible to very low risk. Based o the above, it is recommeded that the proposed developmet the Blocks 11-14 Sectio 6 Dickso be supported o parkig & traffic grouds.
