Simon Davies - Curriculum Vitae V155990 // 18/02/19 Transport Impact Evidence // Issue: A Proposed Kaufland Supermarket, 1158 Nepean Highway, Mornington INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background Kaufland is a German supermarket chain that is well established within Europe and looking to expand, noting that there are no operational stores within Australia currently. Kaufland supermarkets are generally in the order of 6,000sqm NLFA, which are larger than the typical Woolworths and Coles supermarkets currently within Australia (typically up to approximately 4,200sqm NLFA). It is understood that Kaufland supermarkets contain a wider range of products than what is typically available within the current major Australian supermarkets, accounting for the increased floor areas. Development Plans have been prepared for proposed Kaufland supermarkets at the following six locations, which are planned to be the first stores opened in Victoria: • 1-3 Gladstone Road, Dandenong • 592-694 High Street, Epping • 1126-1146 Centre Road, Oakleigh South • 266-268 Maroondah Highway, Chirnside Park • 1550 Pascoe Vale Road, Coolaroo • 1158 Nepean Highway, Mornington. Initially, the Dandenong, Epping and Chirnside Park sites were reviewed directly by an Advisory Committee at Planning Panels Victoria, with Hearings occurring between 23 November to 17 December 2018 and separate traffic and transport evidence statements prepared for each development site at that time. The Advisory Committee are now reviewing the second group of sites (including the Mornington site), with Hearings scheduled between 25 February to 2 April 2019. I note that I have reviewed the originally exhibited development plans for all three sites (Revision E1, from which the authority referral responses have been based on) and provided a number of recommendations on the layout. These recommendations have been incorporated into the recently released ACP Revision of development plans. On this basis , my evidence has been prepared based on the ACP Revision of plans. Furthermore, a transport impact assessment report has been prepared for this site (dated 14 February 2019) which I adopt as part of my evidence. The following evidence outlines my expert opinion on the anticipated traffic and transport impacts for the proposed Kaufland supermarket in Mornington. 1.2. Development Proposal It is proposed to develop an elevated supermarket on the site, with additional specialty retail tenancies (shop) located on level 1 within the entry mall area. It is understood that the site is to ultimately be subdivided and that the existing Bata manufacturing warehouse will remain where it is on the balance lot. The existing Bata warehouse facility will operate separately to the proposed development and has not been considered in this assessment. It should also be noted that the two sites will have two shared access points to Oakbank Road. A summary of the area schedule is provided in Table 1.1. V155990 // 18/02/19 Transport Impact Evidence // Issue: A Proposed Kaufland Supermarket, 1158 Nepean Highway, Mornington 1 INTRODUCTION Table 1.1: Proposed Development Schedule (Mornington) Use Floor Area Supermarket 5,679 sqm [1] Retail 554 sqm [2] [1] When assessing a supermarket, the Net Leasable Floor Area is utilised, which is included on the development plans. In this in stance the Supermarket, Liquor, Administration and Back of House floor areas from the development summary on plans have been consid ered as part of the overall supermarket floor area. [2] The Retail use includes the Food Hall, Outdoor Eatery and the separate Shop tenancies floor areas from the development summary on the plans. In addition to the above floor areas, it is proposed to provide a total of 380 on-site car parking spaces, excluding any existing parking within the warehouse site. There will also be a loading dock at the rear of the site accessed via a proposed new service vehicle access to Oakbank Road, which is also expected to service the loading needs of the existing adjacent Bata warehouse. The supermarket loading dock will be capable of catering for two 19m semi-trailers and a waste collection vehicle. There is also a parallel parking area in front of the supermarket building to cater for the loading demands of the small shop tenancies. 1.3. Proposed Vehicle Site Access Arrangements It is proposed to provide a new site access directly to Nepean Highway to cater for the increased traffic movements to/from the site. This access point will function as left-in/left-out, as Nepean Highway is a divided road in the vicinity of the site. A left turn deceleration lane has been shown on the development plans, measuring 90m long including a 25m long taper. There is currently a bus stop located slightly north of the proposed deceleration lane location, which will not be impacted or modified as part of the new turning lane. Bata Court currently acts as the primary access point to the existing Bata warehouse facility. It is proposed to realign this access point to generally be consistent with the second existing access point from Oakbank Road (offset approximately 100m from the signalised intersection). This will function as a customer access point into the subject site through use of the signalised intersection with Nepean Highway, and will also continue to provide access to the Bata warehouse site. This access point is considered to be sufficiently offset from the signalised intersection, noting that Oakbank Road carries relatively low traffic volumes given that it functions as a local street. As previously mentioned, an additional new access point is proposed to Oakbank Road in the north-east corner of the site for service vehicle access only. It is understood that this will also be shared between the existing Bata site and the subject site, providing loading vehicle access to both sites. 1.4. Expert Witness Details Simon Davies BE (Environmental) (Hons) Director – GTA Consultants (Vic) Pty Ltd L25, 55 Collins Street, Melbourne Areas of Expertise: Traffic Engineering & Transport Planning I completed my environmental engineering degree majoring in traffic and transport with Honours at Monash University prior to commencing work with GTA Consultants in 1999. I have nineteen years’ experience in traffic and transportation planning including data collection and analysis, strategic planning, major and special event planning, parking precinct plans, traffic impact assessments and traffic engineering design. I have experience in managing a variety of projects and have been intimately involved in the preparation of a number of parking studies and parking precinct plans. I also have considerable experience in presenting expert traffic and parking evidence at the Victoria Civil and Administrative Tribunal and Planning Panels Victoria. Further details of my experience are provided in Appendix A of this evidence. V155990 // 18/02/19 Transport Impact Evidence // Issue: A Proposed Kaufland Supermarket, 1158 Nepean Highway, Mornington 2 INTRODUCTION 1.5. Relationship to Applicant Our office was originally engaged to prepare the transport impact assessment report for the proposed development of this site. I have no ongoing private or business relationship with the Applicant and have been retained to provide expert witness services at this hearing for a mutually agreed fee. 1.6. Instructions and Scope of Report I have been engaged by the Applicant to prepare and present expert traffic and transport evidence at the Advisory Committee hearing. Prior to preparing this evidence I was briefed by Planning Property Partners (PPP) regarding the proposal via oral and written instructions. Additionally, I have had discussions with Charmaine Dunstan of Traffix Group, in particular in regard to improvements to the car parking layout which has resulted in subsequent changes to amended plans. This evidence sets out an assessment of the anticipated parking, traffic and transport implications of the proposed development, including consideration of the: 1. existing traffic conditions surrounding the site 2.

    Submission Cover Sheet North East Link Project EES IAC 402 Request to be heard?: No, but please email me th Full Name: Phil Turner Organisation: Maroondah City Council Affected property: Attachment 1: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 2: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 3: Comments: To the North East Link Inquiry & Advisory Committee (IAC) Maroondah Council provides the following submission to the IAC, in relation to the EES for the North East Link project. While Council formally supports the objectives of the NEL project, I advise that the support of Maroondah Council has been conditional on appropriate traffic considerations being made with regard to the impact of the project on the Eastlink tunnels, the Ringwood Bypass and by extension the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. Council previously commissioned a review by O’Brien Traffic that considered the project in the context of the tunnels and impacts on Ringwood, and it was determined that without ancillary works to take traffic pressure off the Eastlink tunnels and the Ringwood Bypass, the project would potentially fail and have a major detrimental impact on the viability of the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. The O’Brien Traffic report attached to this submission details the basis for those concerns. Council’s concerns were previously forwarded to NELA and Council officers have met with NELA officers on these matters, however, to date Council has not received an appropriate response that addresses these concerns, including within the ESS. In support of this submission, the following documents have also been uploaded: o A submission letter signed by Council’s Mayor Rob Steane documenting the history of Council’s dealings regarding NEL, and outlining Council’s concerns current with the project; o Council Report September 2018; o O’Brien Traffic Review dated 12 September 2017; o Council letter to NELA (26 February 2018) and NELA response (14 March 2018); o Correspondence from Council on Bypass concerns (including technical reports); and o Minutes from MCC / NELA meetings 6 April 2018 and 30 April 2018.
