The following table highlights the summary of key analysis points, outcomes of the transport assessment, initiatives and actions for further consideration in design development. Surrounding transport context • The surrounding context of the proposed OCRM is currently characterised by limited public transport access with the nearest bus stops located over 15 minutes walking time, through coastal PSP network and significant spare traffic capacity on the access road network of Ocean Reef Road and Hodges Drive The Proposed Development • The proposed development broadly comprises of: • 9,764 sqm of retail and commercial floorspace • 999 medium and high-density dwellings • 173 hotel rooms/ short stay apartments • Public open space and beach with recreational facilities • Hotel • Approximately 550 Boat Pens (wet) and 200 Boat Stacking Spaces (dry) • Marine services and club facilities totalling 6,689 sqm Trip generation • A conservative basis to vehicle trip generation has been adopted based on the relatively high proportion of private vehicle use in the surrounding suburbs, particularly for non-work trips. This approach means there should be flexibility in the scheme design and assessment to allow a transition to non-private vehicle modes in the longer term • Three peak periods have been assessed to understand the impact of the varied land uses – the weekday AM (8-9) and PM (16:45-17:45) peaks, and Saturday (14:45-15:45) midday peak. • Total ultimate OCRM trip generation of 755 (AM), 1,181 (PM) and 1,445 (Sat) vehicles per hour • Largest trip generating land uses are residential (AM), retail (PM) and the Beach and recreational space on (Sat) • A small proportion of linked trips between land uses are assumed to allow a conservative analysis, mainly between the beach/recreation and cafes (30% of beach trips being linked with Café trips) • Public transport trip generation in the order of 100 trips per day based on current mode share in the surrounding area indicates significant potential for growth Parking analysis • Proposed supply in the current masterplan of 4,706 including on and off street locations with the following: • 2,400 bays for residential purposes • 729 On-street bays across the site for various uses • 671 bays across the site for trailer and berth boating facilities, including 61 for pick up and drop off bays (in the northern portions of the site) and 412 for boat trailer parking (in the southern portion of the site) • Beach and public open space demand indicates a requirement for 265 bays based on benchmarking of recreation aquatic sport rates. Similar locations, such as Sorrento protected beach have in the order of 170 bays indicating some additional capacity in the proposed OCRM supply. | Final | 3 February 2020 | Arup J:\261000\261919-00 OCEAN REEF MARINA\WORK\INTERNAL\DELIVERABLES\ISSUED\FINAL REVISION 3 200130\20200203_TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT REPORT_FINAL_REV3.DOCX DevelopmentWA and TBB Ocean Reef Marina Transport Assessment Report • Benchmarking analysis of parking rates across a number of land uses indicates the ultimate demand could be lower than supply, highly dependent on the household structure and type of retail businesses together with the overall staging of development • Reciprocal uses analysis the mixed use could reduce the supply by 16% at peak times External Traffic Analysis • Traffic distribution from Joondalup Area Model (JAM based on ROM24) shows a greater bias towards Ocean Reef Road, but the approach for the transport assessment has been to have a greater focus on Hodges Drive based on desired wayfinding to OCRM. The overall split results in 35% to Hodges Drive east of Marmion and 25% to Ocean Reef Road south. • Resolute Way is predicted to have an additional of 70 vehicles per hour (two-way) in the 2031 PM peak as a result of OCRM • Previous City of Joondalup corridor planning work for the Hodges Drive indicates an increase in PM traffic flows at Marmion Avenue of 215 vehicles per hour by 2031. Traffic volumes from the OCRM transport assessment (30% approx. to Hodges Drive) indicate a 350 vph increase at the intersection. The corridor assessment shows changing the signal timings reduces intersection operation to LoS E. The AM peak indicates less growth in traffic from the OCRM transport assessment (230 vph) than previous corridor planning work (290 vph) • All other access intersections in the assessment area are forecast to operate at LoS C or better. • Traffic capacity analysis internal to the OCRM site indicates some scope to reduce crossing distance for PSP and pedestrians with the development where possible, whilst maintaining on street parking. The internal road network is based upon slow speed and traffic management and has been designed for on street cycling rather than separate cycle lanes noting the desirability to still have adequate width for on-road cycling in speed environment greater than 30km/h. Recommended strategic actions • Supply of end of trip cycle facilities based on local planning and residential design codes, but preferably aligned more closely with achieving 5% of occupants and visitors travelling by bicycle • Provide a connected PSP, local and pedestrian network to limit formal crossing distances to a maximum of 7 metres (kerb to kerb) at spacings no greater than 100 metres • Integrate public transport into the site, possibly with the diversion of the 460 service through the centre of the commercial area, close to the beach, with longer term provision for high frequency public transport links along Hodges Drive to Joondalup • Supply a combination of on and off street parking to an amount in to the order of 4,700 bays, noting the need for flexibility for greater pick and drop off operation, car and ride share, and having adequate supply for the staging and opening of the beach/café areas. • Provide the following road network upgrades: • An extension of 4 lane cross section of Ocean Reef Road to Hodges Drive, with a dual lane roundabout. • A single lane circulating roundabout at Resolute Way • In consultation with the City of Joondalup and Main Roads, monitor the Hodges Drive/Marmion Avenue intersection based on 2031 congestion levels without OCRM and conservatively high assumptions used as part of this assessment. Consider signal timing changes to increase time for Hodges Drive traffic. Congestion is shown to be as a result of background and OCRM traffic • Seek to reduce
