I was retained by Ashurst Australia on behalf of the City of Melbourne to undertake a peer review of specific traffic engineering items associated with the West Gate Tunnel Project Environment Effects Statement (EES) as listed below. In the course of preparing this assessment, I have inspected the subject site and surrounding road network, and undertaken a review of relevant sections of the EES documents. My instructions were as follows: Please provide an overview of the general design considerations in relation the Dynon Road Connection/Wurundjeri Way area, and the Maribyrnong River Crossing, and identify the traffic engineering considerations that have influenced the current design. Regarding the Veloway along Footscray Road and the widening of Footscray Road at ground level, can you please consider whether there are any feasible alternative options/designs that provide a distinct opportunity for superior environmental outcomes. If there are feasible alternative options/designs, could you please give your opinion on whether these have been investigated and documented adequately or at all in the EES. Regarding the Maribyrnong River crossings, can you please consider whether there are any feasible alternative options/designs that provide a distinct opportunity for superior environmental outcomes. If there are feasible alternative options/designs, could you please give your opinion on whether these have been investigated and documented in the EES. Could you please review the EES with regard to the traffic implications arising as a consequence of the city connection at Dynon Road, including the implications for traffic movements in and around the Hoddle Grid and the inner north. As part of this analysis could you also please: o consider and review the design of the Dynon Road connection; and o express your view as to whether there are any feasible options/designs that provide a distinct opportunity for superior environmental outcomes, and whether these options have been investigated and documented adequately or at all in the EES. Could you please review the EES with regard to any traffic implications arising as a consequence of the Wurundjeri Way extension and widening, including the traffic implications at the southern end (e.g. consequences for the intersection with Flinders Street). As part of this analysis could you also please: o consider and review the design of the extension and widening (including whether adequate space has been left along the eastern length of the extension to cater for an additional freight rail along Wurundjeri Way road connection); and o express your view as to whether there are any feasible options/designs that provide a distinct opportunity for superior environmental outcomes and whether these options have been investigated and documented adequately or at all in the EES. In addition, I have also been asked to consider the following Please review Chapter 3 of Volume 1 of the EES, and (in particular) the design alternatives and options identified in Parts 3.8 to 3.10 of that Chapter that refer to the design alternatives identified for the Tunnel and Hyde Street Ramps, and the Port, City Link and city connections. Please express your opinion as to whether you agree or disagree with the assessment of those design alternatives and options as is contained within those sections on aspects that you consider are within your expertise. If you are unable to form an opinion as to that assessment please explain why you are unable to form an opinion as to those alternatives and options. If you require further information in order to make an assessment of those alternatives and options please advise as to what information you would require in order to express an opinion on those alternatives and options. 3 August 2017 Cardno 6 Traffic Engineering Review West Gate Tunnel Project 3 Dynon Road Connection 3.1 Traffic Performance Considerations My assessment of the Dynon Road connection and its implications on West Melbourne and the Hoddle Grid primarily considers the operating conditions of the intersection of Dynon Road and Dryburgh Street, in particular investigation of peak hour operation under both existing and 2031 project case conditions. The current layout of the intersection of Dynon Road and Dryburgh Street is shown in Figure 3-1 with two through lanes provided on the east and western approaches. The intersection of Dryburgh Street and Victoria Street is located approximately 80m north of the stop line on the northern approach. Figure 3-1 Existing Layout Dynon Road / Dryburgh Street 3 August 2017 Cardno 7 Traffic Engineering Review West Gate Tunnel Project 3.1.2 Accident History VicRoads’ CrashStats provides a database containing Victorian Road Crash Statistics from 1987 for incidents where at least one person was injured. The current version contains data to May 2017, though collisions subject to current court action are excluded. The database was examined for all recorded collisions, within the last 5 years through May 2012 to May 2017 at the intersections of Dynon Road / Dryburgh Street and Spencer Street / Hawke Street, with results summarised below. The Black Spot Programme is a project run by the Australian Government which aims to identify road locations through specific criteria and fund safety improvements. An intersection is considered eligible when there is a history of at least three casualty crashes over a five year period.

  • Report to the Future Melbourne (Planning) Committee Agenda Item 6.7
    Page 1 of 31 Report to the Future Melbourne (Planning) Committee Agenda item 6.7 Hospital Heliport Flight Path Protection Amendment – City of Melbourne 10 November 2015 Submission Presenter: Leanne Hodyl, Acting Manager Urban Strategy Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to seek the Future Melbourne Committee’s endorsement of the attached submission regarding changes to the Melbourne Planning Scheme which have been proposed by Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). 2. DHHS is seeking to make changes to a number of planning schemes, including the Melbourne Planning Scheme, to apply Design and Development Overlays (DDO) to protect emergency medical services helicopter flight paths to and from hospital heliports. This involves limiting the heights of buildings on land affected by the flight paths to and from the Royal Melbourne, the Royal Children’s and the Alfred Hospitals. 3. The Amendment is being processed by the Minister for Planning because the protection of flight paths to hospitals is of State significance. Key issues 4. The proposed DDOs will trigger a planning permit for buildings, works or plumes that have the potential to impact on the flight paths by penetrating the height equivalent of the helipad’s elevation or up to 10 metre above the elevation of the helipad (refer Attachment 2 for the proposed Amendment). 5. Where a permit is triggered under the proposed DDOs, the planning application will be referred to DHHS. DHHS may require that the height of the proposed structure be modified and/or made more visible to helicopter pilots or could refuse an application on the grounds that the proposed structure would impede a safe and efficient flight path.
