ITEM / DETAILS 1 MEETING PURPOSE AND PROCESS Linton Pike (facilitator) welcomed participants explaining the meeting purpose and agenda. 2 PREVIOUS MEETING Linton Pike asked for comment or changes on the previous meeting summary. No changes to the previous summary meeting summary were requested. ACTIONS ARISING ACTIONS ARISING FROM AUGUST 2017 MEETING RESPONSE PROVIDED AT OCTOBER MEETING School peak times are factored into the modelling All affected local intersections were analysed with traffic modelling including school peak traffic and for Houghton Dr and shows the intersection to be planned future growth and development. mostly free flowing. We will prepare comparisons Some modifications are proposed to a number of intersections with Wanneroo Road and Joondalup for other intersection treatments as well. Drive to ensure safe and efficient capacity is available in the future. This will be covered further to a ACTION: Alex certain degree later in this meeting. 3 PROJECT UPDATE Chris Raykos provided a project update including a video drive through along Joondalup Drive in both directions (to the west initially and then the return journey east bound on a weekday morning (7:50am). The video showed significant dwell time at the Joondalup Drive and Wanneroo Road intersection and west bound traffic queues from the intersection back to St Stephens Crs. Smaller queues are also shown at Burns Beach Road intersection with Joondalup Drive. Chris Raykos went on to explain that: • City of Wanneroo population expected to grow to 400,000 by 2041 • Provision of key transport infrastructure required to support urban development east of Wanneroo Road • Joondalup Drive is the major east-west route that will be used to access areas to the west including the Joondalup City Centre, Mitchell Freeway, the train station/line and coastal area. • Traffic modelling indicates that within five years, service levels will deteriorate at the intersection due to increased demand. • Funding commitment enables us to bring forward a long term solution at this intersection Intersection performance and failure information follows over the page: 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 2 of 21 NO. ITEM / DETAILS Intersection Failure Analysis shows the following: Level of Service (LoS) is an index of the operational performance of an intersection – The Y axis of this Graph expresses LoS in terms of delay (in seconds) which is quantified as the difference between the time it would take to complete the movement under free flow (or uncontrolled) conditions and the time it actually takes. The overall intersection delay is then the weighted average of the delay associated with each intersection movement to give an overall LoS within the range of A to F. The analysis for the intersection of Wanneroo road and Joondalup Drive shows that the current level of service is “D” in both morning and afternoon peaks and will further deteriorate to LoS “E” in the afternoon and “F” in the morning peak by 2031 as shown below. 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 3 of 21 NO. ITEM / DETAILS The diagram below shows the percentage of movements each leg of the intersection contributes to total vehicle movements through the intersection after the opening of the Mitchell Freeway Extension to Hester Avenue. More than half of all vehicle movements through the intersection are going straight through along Joondalup Drive. By grade separating this movement and removing the conflict points, the remaining movements through the intersection can operate with much higher safety and efficiency. 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 4 of 21 NO. ITEM / DETAILS Chris Raykos explained the Safe System approach to road user safety adopted here based upon the following model. The Safe system matrix gives consideration to: • Exposure – refers to which road users, in what numbers and for how long • Likelihood – refers to factors affecting probability of a crash. • Crash severity – refers groups of factors affecting the probability of severe injury outcomes should the crash occur. 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 5 of 21 NO. ITEM / DETAILS A number of questions and answers followed as shown below: Q Can Main Roads clarify its communications with local schools regarding the St Stephens Cres closure issue? Main Roads will respond to community concerns and address the impacts for local roads including left in/out modifications where they are required. A two page newsletter is already on the Main Roads webpage and has been shared with schools. Newsletters were distributed around Tapping (to Ashely Rd in the south and Waldburg Drive in the east) during w/c 12 Feb. A A briefing was held with St Stephen’s School in December 2017 and offered to Tapping Primary in January 2018. Ongoing information is being shared with both schools. A more general, four page newsletter will go out to around 10,000 homes along Wanneroo Road as far north as Old Yanchep Rd, Pinjar Road and into Banksia Grove in early March. Q Are road users complaining about this intersection since the Mitchell Freeway Extension opened? Prior to the Mitchell Freeway Extension, Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive was the sixth-worst performing intersection in the metropolitan A area, attracting numerous complaints. While the volume of complaints has reduced as a result of the project, performance at the intersection will again deteriorate to Level of Service “E” by 2023. Q Is there an urgent need for this project? There is a very strong project need and justification with earlier intersection works undertaken as an interim solution. The level of service A associated with this intersection is deteriorating quickly and the longer we leave the project the more difficult it will become to complete these works under increasing traffic volumes. 4 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Chris Raykos explain the designs proposed for a number of intersections as shown below. 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 6 of 21 NO. ITEM / DETAILS Joondalup Drive and Burns Beach Road intersection is proposed to be improved as shown below. The eastbound movement from Burns Beach Road is simplified with a dedicated slip lane and a free flowing slip west bound along Joondalup Drive. Provision for future ramp metering (traffic signals on one approach is made to maintain efficient traffic flows. 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 7 of 21 NO. ITEM / DETAILS Drovers Market Place access provides for left in/out access to and from Joondalup Drive with right turn emergency access provision as shown below. 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 8 of 21 NO. ITEM / DETAILS The Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive intersection is modified with a bridge over Wanneroo Road and improved left turn slip movements as shown below. Pedestrian refuge Islands are included on the northern approach leg and southern departure leg. Shared paths for pedestrian and cycle movements are shown in purple. 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 9 of 21 NO. ITEM / DETAILS Changes to the local road network in Tapping are also proposed as shown below. 13 February 2018 Minutes of Meeting – Community Liaison Group – Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive Interchange Page 10 of 21 NO.

(If you’re using a sat-nav, or googlemap directions – it will probably tell you to exit at Shenton Avenue. Ignore it, there will be road closures on Shenton) At the Hodges Drive exit, turn right. This road becomes Grand Boulevard at the first Joondalup Drive intersection. Continue on Grand Blvd until you reach Joondalup Drive a second time! Stop. Arena Joondalup, Main Stage To get onto site You will enter site from behind main stage. The road closures mean that you will have to navigate through patron foot traffic – hello hazard lights and slow speeds – 40km please! On the map below the red enclosed area indicates the road closure, the yellow indicates your journey. From Grand Boulevard, turn left to pass through the Road Closure (show your vehicle pass) and travel down Joondalup Drive. At Kennedya Drive, make a U-Turn and travel back up Joondalup Drive. Turn left into site at GATE N. Under no circumstances are you to cross over the median strip at Grand Blvd & Joondalup Dr. While this is a seemingly absurd route, this really is the only acceptable way into the site.

The Planning Team prepared the plan for the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Brendan Dooley (Plan Coordinator) Department of Conservation and Land Management Tim Bowra Department of Conservation and Land Management Dennis Cluning City of Joondalup Phil Thompson City of Wanneroo PREFACE Regional parks are areas of regional open space that are identified by planning procedures as having outstanding conservation, landscape and recreation values. Regional parks provide the opportunity for a consortium of management agencies and private landowners to develop co-ordinated planning and management strategies. Regional parks were first proposed in the Stephenson - Hepburn Report of 1955, which later formed the basis of the Perth Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963. Since then, State planning agencies have been acquiring suitable private land in anticipation of the time when regional parks would be formally created. In 1997, the State government announced a commitment to introduce legislation to give regional parks legal standing and vesting in the former NPNCA, now the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Eight regional parks were recognised as formal identities, with the co-ordination of their management progressively transferred to the Department of Conservation and Land Management.

    Minister for Transport; Planning; Lands Your ref: A686159 Our ref: 72-11125 Hon M Swinbourn MIC Chair Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs [email protected] Dear Mr Swinbourn PETITION NO 56 - WANNEROO ROAD AND JOONDALUP DRIVE INTERCHANGE Thank you for your letter dated 10 May 2018 inviting me to comment on the above petition. I acknowledge there are strong views in the community on this project. The Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive Interchange is a future-focused solution to support current and projected levels of traffic resulting from residential and industrial development in Perth s northern suburbs. The upgrade will remove bottlenecks and reduce travel times on Wanneroo Road. This road is currently used as an alternative route to the Mitchell Freeway, and Joondalup Drive - a significant east-west access corridor between Mitchell Freeway, Joondalup City Centre and the expanding residential communities to the east of Wanneroo Road. The replacement of a busy signalised intersection with a free flowing interchange will provide immediate safety benefits and shorter, more predictable journey times for all road users. In response to the specific claims made in the petition, I can advise as follows: Project Rationale and Future Congestion Levels The interchange project is required to address projected levels of congestion that will arise due to residential and commercial expansion in Perth’s northern corridor. While we acknowledge that the intersection is currently operating at an acceptable level of service following the extension of Mitchell Freeway to Hester Avenue (and the minor works undertaken at the existing intersection), within five years congestion levels will worsen and associated levels of service will deteriorate significantly.
