Transport and Infrastructure 13.1 Roads and Traffic 13.1.1 Introduction This section describes the existing road network and intersections within the Project area. It also provides an assessment of potential construction and operational impacts associated with the Project and the associated activities and recommends mitigation measures. 13.1.2 Existing Environment 13.1.2.1 State-Controlled Roads The road network in the Project area is made up of State -Controlled roads that are controlled by the Department of Main Roads (DMR) and local roads controlled by Stanthorpe Shire Council (SSC). The Project area is situated in the Border District of the DMR. The principal State-Controlled roads within the Project area are presented in Table 13-1. Each of these roads is described below. Table 13-1 State-controlled Roads and Multi-Combination Vehicle Permits Permitted Maximum Size Road Name Category of Vehicle1 New England Highway National Highway 22C 23m and 25m B-doubles only (Warwick - Wallangarra) (AusLink road) 223 Stanthorpe Connection Road District road B-doubles <19m 224 Stanthorpe - Amosfield Road District road B-doubles <19m 232 Stanthorpe - Texas Road Regional road B-doubles <19m District road 2301 Amiens Road (between Thulimbah and Amiens B-doubles <19m only) Source: QT 2001 New England Highway (22C) – connects Warwick to Wallangarra and further north to Brisbane and south to Sydney as part of the Australian National Highway Network (AusLink National Highway 15); – is generally a two lane road with 100 km/h speed limit, frequent overtaking facilities and suitable shoulders each side of the road. Stanthorpe - Texas Road (232) – connects Stanthorpe to Texas; – two lane rural road with 100 km/h speed limit situated in flat to rolling terrain. Stanthorpe Connection Road (223) – runs through Stanthorpe township and connects to New England Highway north and south of Stanthorpe. – two lane urban road with 50/60 km/h speed limit. Amiens Road (2301) – connects New England Highway to Thulimbah and Amiens townships. – two lane rural road with 100 km/h speed limit situated in flat to rolling terrain; 13-1 13.1.2.2 Local Roads Roads within the Project area are either directly affected by the Project (roads with altered geometry/alignment or with changed designation/rank) or indirectly affected (road where works are performed in the road reserve and/or the traffic volumes are affected). Those roads within the Project area controlled by SSC which are directly impacted by the Project are: Fletcher Road – connects New England Highway to Emu Swamp Road and provides access to a few farms and wineries along it. The road is a narrow (4 to 5 m wide) rural unmarked road with some tight curves that restrict the sight distance at places. The road is 6 km long, partially sealed and partially subject to flooding at the Severn River causeway. The road intersects the Toowoomba - Wallangarra railway and no railway crossing barriers are provided. Emu Swamp Road – a largely sealed, low traffic rural road servicing farms and rural properties along its length. Stalling Lane – a low traffic, two lane rural road providing access to two rural properties and situated in rolling type terrain. State-controlled and local road networks within the Project area are presented in Figure 13-1. 13.1.2.3 Existing Traffic Volumes The Average Annual Daily Traffic volumes (AADT) (as vehicle trips per day –vpd) and the percentage of commercial (heavy) vehicles for 2005 on the State-controlled roads in the Project area are provided in Table 13-2 and marked on Figure 13-1. There were no available traffic counts on local roads in the Project area.

The road may be upgraded by the construction contractor to accommodate the construction traffic and it will be repaired and resurfaced at the completion of the Project to provide access to the proposed recreational facilities at the dam. Emu Swamp Road will be closed at the intersection with Fletcher Road and to the east of the impoundment area. Emu Swamp Road is not intended to be used for construction access to the site. As a result of this closure Stalling Lane will no longer be accessible from Emu Swamp Road. Stalling Lane currently provides access to two properties. To maintain this access, the Stalling Lane Access is proposed to be constructed from Fletcher Road to the western end of Stalling Lane. The location of the Stalling Lane Access is presented in Figure 3-4. 13.1.4 Construction Phase Traffic Impact 13.1.4.1 Dam Construction Traffic Generation For the daily traffic estimation purposes, the construction periods considered were between 6 AM to 6 PM, from Monday to Saturday for a period of: 56 weeks for the Urban Water Supply Dam; and 64 weeks for the Combined Urban and Irrigation Dam.

    M1 Pacific Motorway Extension to Raymond Terrace

    M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace Project update – Environmental Impact Statement July 2021 You are invited to make a submission on the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Australian and NSW governments have committed $2 billion to deliver the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace and Hexham Straight projects. The extension would boost the regional economy and improve connectivity, road transport eciency and safety for local and interstate motorists. The project addresses a key national motorway ‘missing link’ between Sydney and Brisbane as the existing M1 Pacific Motorway, New England Highway and Pacific Highway carry some of the highest trac volumes across the Hunter. Better movement of Once complete, the extension would remove up to 25,000 vehicles a day from key congestion and freight merge points along this corridor and would help keep freight, commuters and tourists moving. The project includes 15 kilometres of dual carriageway and provides motorway access from the existing road network from four new Saving motorists interchanges at Black Hill, Tarro, Tomago and up to Raymond Terrace. 9 minutes during peak time The project also includes a 2.6 kilometre viaduct over the Hunter River and floodplain, the Main North Rail Line, and the New England Highway. It would also provide new bridge crossings over Bypass up to local waterways at Tarro and Raymond Terrace, and an overpass for Masonite Road at Heatherbrae. 5 trac lights Key benefits On opening, the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace would save motorists between seven and nine minutes of travel time during peak periods, bypass up to five sets of trac lights and reduce trac demand on existing key routes across the road The key benefits of the proposed extension network.

All roads may lead to Rome, but please do not forget that on Saturday, October 17, when the good people of Bulga invite you to visit their own part of our national thor- oughfare system (Inlet Road, to be exact) for not one, but two momentous walks down memory lane. To begin with, it’s about 200 years since that remarkable figure of colonial exploration, John Howe, capped his opening of the Patrick Plains with the first (white) sighting of the idyllic paradise our First Peoples knew as Bulga. And never let us forget that, without the unique bushcraft and calm perseverance of the native Australians John Howe recruited for his squad, our beautiful patch may have waited much longer to become recognised on the map of pre-Federation New South Wales. The second stanza on the playlist for October is meant to be an equally whole- hearted tribute to our forebears—but perhaps a little more restrained and intro- spective than our Bulga commemoration: we’re remembering the dedication of that consecrated gateway to the fallen, the War Memorial Gates at the Recreation Ground.

    M15 Now Open! It Just Got a Whole Lot Easier to Visit the Hunter Valley

    M15 now open! It just got a whole lot easier to visit the Hunter Valley After 5 years of construction, the new $1.7 billion 40 kilometre, four-lane Hunter Expressway (M15) opened on 22 March 2014. This means once you enter the (M1) Motorway at Wahroonga heading north, it is now motorway all the way to our “Hermitage Road” – we are now the third Hunter Valley exit off the new (M15) Hunter Expressway. Now you will continue past the old Freeman’s Waterhole / Cessnock exit (B82). The new (M15) Hunter Expressway joins the (M1) Motorway (Old F3 freeway) at the Newcastle Link Road Interchange. No more having to drive through Cessnock… And from Newcastle and Port Stephens – the saving is up to 30 minutes! Road Directions Please note - For the in car navigation address entry – if you are using a GPS, the new Hunter Expressway may not yet be installed or updated… So please download/print these directions/map, or via our PDF link http://goo.gl/oqOlkj 1.
