Transport Committee | 06 June 2016 1 Griffith City Council COMMITTEE REPORT CLAUSE CL02 TITLE Proposed B-Triple Route - Patricks PortLink - Casella Family Brands to Sturt Highway FROM Mathew Vitucci, Traffic Engineer TRIM REF 16/36656 SUMMARY Council has received two applications from Patrick’s Portlink to provide access between Casella Family Brands located at 41 Wood Road Yenda to the Sturt Highway at Darlington Point via the Patrick’s Portlink Depot located off Mackay Avenue, Yoogali. The applications propose to utilise the following routes: Journey ID: AOFD-9 Version 2 – Wood Road, Burley Griffin Way, Mackay Avenue, Bridge Road, Jondaryan Avenue and Kidman Way; Journey ID: AOFD-9 Version 4 – Wood Road, Burley Griffin Way, Whitton Stock Route Road, Irrigation Way, Mackay Avenue, Jondaryan Avenue and Kidman Way. RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommend the refusal of Patrick’s Portlinks B-Triple applications to link Casella Family Brands, 41 Wood Road, to the Sturt Highway at Darlington Point via the Patrick’s depot off Mackay Avenue Yoogali. REPORT Council has received two applications from Patrick’s Portlink to provide access between Casella Family Brands located at 41 Wood Road Yenda to the Sturt Highway at Darlington Point via the Patrick’s Portlink Depot located off Mackay Avenue, Yoogali. The applications propose to utilise the following routes: Journey ID: AOFD-9 Version 2 – Wood Road, Burley Griffin Way, Mackay Avenue, Bridge Road, Jondaryan Avenue and Kidman Way; Journey ID: AOFD-9 Version 4 – Wood Road, Burley Griffin Way, Whitton Stock Route Road, Irrigation Way, Mackay Avenue, Jondaryan Avenue and Kidman Way. The assessment for the route has been divided into two sections, reflecting the two proposed routes. Journey ID: AOFD-9 Version 2 Patricks Portlink have applied to connect Casella Family Brands to the existing B-Triple network at Darlington Point along the Sturt Highway via their Yoogali depot located off Transport Committee | 06 June 2016 2 CL02 Proposed B-Triple Route - Patricks PortLink - Casella Family Brands to Sturt Highway Mackay Avenue. The application is for Modular B-Triples (35 metres) to access Wood Road, Burley Griffin Avenue, Mackay Avenue, Bridge Road, Jondaryan Avenue and Kidman Way. The proposed route has been gazetted as part of Griffith’s B-Double network. Sections of the route; Wood Road – between Casella Family Brands and Burley Griffin Way, Burley Griffin Way – between Wood Road and De Bortoli Road and Kidman Way – between Jondaryan Avenue and the Murrumbidgee/Griffith Local Government Area boundary; are also form part of Griffith’s Road Train network. In 2012, Transport for NSW approved Modular B-Triple access along the gazetted Road Train (36.5 metre) network west of the Newell Highway. Therefore Modular B-Triple access is already available along the sections of Wood Road, Burley Griffin Way and Kidman Way. Council staff have conducted an assessment of the proposed route between Wood Road and the intersection of Jondaryan Avenue and Kidman Way to ensure the existing network is suitable for Modular B-Triple vehicles. The gazettal of the proposal as a B-Triple route will have an impact on the existing traffic conditions along the proposed route. The introduction of B-Triple traffic will significantly reduce the amenity of the surrounding area and the safety of the proposed route. Before proceeding with the gazettal of the proposed route a number of significant upgrades should be completed to ensure the roads are able to cater for the increased size of vehicles utilising the route. There is also a number of drainage structures along the route would not support road train traffic and would have to be upgraded at considerable cost and with the consent of Murrumbidgee Irrigation. The accessway to the Patrick’s Portlink depot off Mackay Avenue has been constructed to cater for the manoeuvring of restricted access vehicles up to 26 metre long B-Doubles. Council has also received complaints from Riverina Nursery regarding heavy vehicles accessing Patrick’s depot in an unsafe manner, i.e.at high speed, and the relatively poor sight distance at the intersection with Pilloni Road. Therefore B-Triple access into the Patrick’s depot is unlikely to be approved unless the applicant can address these issues. Sections of the Burley Griffin Way, Bridge Road and Jondaryan Avenue road carriageway do not meet the width requirements specified in the RMS’s NSW Route Assessment Guide – Freight Route Investigation Levels October 2012. This includes the curve on Bridge Road at Mackay Avenue. Additionally, the majority of structures along Burley Griffin Way do not meet these requirements. The sections of the route which do not meet the RMS width requirements should be widened to accommodate B-Triple traffic. Mackay Avenue’s intersections with Burley Griffin Way and Bridge Road should be upgraded prior to the introduction of B-Triple vehicles. The upgrades should ensure that the efficiency and safety of the intersections are not compromised by the introduction of B-Triple vehicles. The intersection works should address the irrigation structures and railway level crossings adjacent to the intersection. The areas of pavement failure identified along Burley Griffin Way and Bridge Road should be repaired prior to the introduction of B-Triple vehicles. The proposed route has not been identified in Griffith’s Heavy Vehicle Strategy. Specifically, Bridge Road and Jondaryan Avenue are not identified as Road Train routes. The Strategy aims to reduce the amount of heavy vehicles travelling within the urban area of Griffith, especially vehicles larger than B-Doubles. The proposed route does not coincide with this objective, proposing the use of routes within Griffith’s urban areas. The proposed route should be revised and adjusted to reflect the Heavy Vehicle Strategy. Transport Committee | 06 June 2016 3 CL02 Proposed B-Triple Route - Patricks PortLink - Casella Family Brands to Sturt Highway Based upon the above assessment of the proposed B-Triple route it is recommended that the request be refused. Journey ID: AOFD-9 Version 4 Patricks Portlink have applied to connect Casella Family Brands to the existing B-Triple network at Darlington Point along the Sturt Highway via their Yoogali depot located off Mackay Avenue. The application is for Modular B-Triples (35 metres) to access Wood Road, Burley Griffin Avenue, Whitton Stock Route Road, Irrigation Way, Mackay Avenue, Bridge Road, Jondaryan Avenue and Kidman Way. The proposed route has been gazetted as part of Griffith’s B-Double network. Sections of the route; Wood Road – between Casella Family Brands and Burley Griffin Way, Burley Griffin Way – between Wood Road and Whitton Stock Route Road, Whitton Stock Route Road – between Burley Griffin Way and Irrigation Way, and Kidman Way – between Jondaryan Avenue and the Murrumbidgee/Griffith Local Government Area boundary; also form part of Griffith’s Road Train network. In 2012, Transport for NSW approved Modular B-Triple access along the gazetted Road Train (36.5 metre) network west of the Newell Highway. Therefore Modular B-Triple access is already available along the sections of Wood Road, Burley Griffin Way and Kidman Way. Council staff have conducted an assessment of Mackay Avenue, Bridge Road and Jondaryan Avenue above. Council staff have conducted an assessment of the proposed route between Wood Road and the intersection of Irrigation Way and Burley Griffin Way to ensure the existing network is suitable for Modular B-Triple vehicles. The gazettal of the proposal as a B-Triple route will have an impact on the existing traffic conditions along the proposed route.

Therefore B-Triple access into the Patrick’s depot is unlikely to be approved unless the applicant can address these issues. Sections of the Whitton Stock Route Road and Irrigation Way road carriageway do not meet the width requirements specified in the RMS’s NSW Route Assessment Guide – Freight Route Investigation Levels October 2012. This includes the ‘S’-bend on Irrigation Way at Widgelli. Additionally, the majority of structures along Burley Griffin Way do not meet these requirements.

DELEGATIONS / PRESENTATIONS & REGIONAL SIGNPOSTING ISSUES 1.1 Narrandera signposting issues Ashleigh referred to a sign on the Sturt Highway approximately 4.2 km east of Narrandera that welcomes visitors to “Riverina M.I.A.” and lists the distances to the Narrandera, Leeton and Griffith visitor information centres next to a Roman “i” symbol. The sign, which is understood to have been in place for some 25 years, is outdated and affected by graffiti. Ashleigh asked about the possibility of changing the sign so that it refers to the “Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area” instead of “M.I.A.” and features an italicised “i” symbol. Phil explained that the design of the sign is outdated and no longer available under the NSW Tourist Signposting Manual. David added that there are several signs near the boundaries of the Riverina Tourism area that welcome visitors to the area and give distances to visitor information centres.
