1 INTRODUCTION onemilegrid has been requested by McLangridge Pty Ltd to undertake a Green Travel Plan for the proposed mixed-use development at 4 - 12 Langridge Street, Collingwood. This Green Travel Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Clause 22.17 (Environmentally Sustainable Development).

2 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

2.1 General

It is proposed to develop the subject site for the purposes of a mixed-use development, comprising a basement level of carparking, a ground floor retail space and lobby, and six levels of office above, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1 Proposed Development Component No/Area Retail 133m2 Office 1,551m2

2.2 Car Parking

A total of 13 car spaces are proposed in a basement car park, with access via a crossover to Little Oxford Street. The car park is arranged with eight spaces located along the west boundary all within a Swisspark Max-3 car stacker, in addition to five at grade spaces along the east boundary, configured as two sets of tandem pairs and one accessible space.

2.3 Bicycle Parking

A total of 30 bicycle spaces are proposed in a secure compound on the ground floor, which is accessed from Little Oxford Street for staff. Additionally, two bicycle spaces are provided in wall mounted racks for visitors on the ground level accessed from the lobby area. Within the bike storage area, the parking will be arranged as follows:

➢ 22 spaces provided within 11 horizontally stacked parking units; ➢ 6 spaces provided within wall mounted horizontal bike hangers (including 2 visitor spaces); and ➢ 4 spaces provided with wall locking brackets. Adjacent the bike store, end-of-trip facilities are provided including four standard showers and changing areas, as well as one accessible cubicle which includes a shower. In addition to the above on-site bicycle parking spaces, a ground-mounted hoop providing two spaces, will be provided on the footpath at the building frontage. A view of the ground floor plan highlighting the bicycle parking and end of trip facilities is shown in Figure 1.

3 GREEN TRAVEL PLAN

A Green Travel Plan is a suite of initiatives and services employed to encourage travel mode behaviour change and to promote use of sustainable transport options such as walking, cycling, public transport or car-pooling in preference to single occupant car trips where practicable. A Green Travel Plan provides value to future staff and visitors of the development, informing them of the alternative transport options when accessing the site and surrounds and provides associated health and fitness benefits when increasing their activity levels through regular walking and cycling. In addition, a Green Travel Plan will provide benefits to developers when advocating for a reduction in car parking requirements or assisting them in meeting environmental targets. The implementation, coordination and funding of the Green Travel Plan is the responsibility of the Owners Corporation / Management, and should be a dynamic document, reflecting changes in on-site and off-site conditions e.g. additional bicycle parking, or changing public transport timetables. As such, the plan should be frequently revisited and amended to provide the most accurate and relevant information to achieve the desired objectives of reducing car usage. Journey to work data from the City of Yarra indicates that approximately 56% of work trips within the LGA are by car drivers. Consequently, the objective of this Green Travel Plan will be to increase the proportion of sustainable transport mode use by 15% from the municipality average.

4.2.3 Bicycle Facilities

Strava is a social network and training tool for cyclists, runners and swimmers. Users record their physical activity using a dedicated GPS device or utilise the mobile app, and upload the file to their profile. Strava anonymised this information and makes it available through their “Global Heatmap” tool, showing aggregated all public activities over the last two years across the world. A view of the cycling heatmap in proximity to the study area is provided below in Figure 7. Routes of higher usage are brighter in colour.

Figure 7 Strava Cycling Heatmap

Subject Site

As shown above, primary routes in and out of the study area comprise:

➢ Langridge Street; ➢ Wellington Street; ➢ Brunswick Street; and ➢ Albert Street. It is noted that this information includes all cycling activities recorded on the platform, inclusive of weekend trips, and all trips throughout the day. Additionally, the data is skewed towards sports cyclists, given that the bulk of commuter and recreational cyclists will not be tracking their rides.

4.2.4 Share Cars

Car sharing is becoming increasingly popular within highly populated areas for both employees and residents, where parking is restrictive and expensive. Car sharing operates similar to a car rental company, except that users join as members and are charged on an hourly rate rather than a daily. The location of the share cars within close proximity of the site are shown in Figure 8.

4.3 Walkability

Walkability is a measure of how friendly an area is to walking. Walkability has many health, environmental, and economic benefits. Factors influencing walkability include the presence or absence and quality of footpaths or other pedestrian rights-of-way, traffic and road conditions, land use patterns, building accessibility, and safety. The site has a Walk Score rating of 99/100 and is very walkable, with most errands able to be accomplished on foot.

4.4 Electric Vehicle Parking and Charging

Electric vehicle charging is available at the Park Hyatt (1.3 km) and the Pullman Melbourne on the Park (1.3km). Additionally, electric vehicle charging may be installed within the on-site car park if required.

4.5 Travel Time

The Uber Movement app uses aggregated trip data from the Uber app to provide vehicular travel time data. Figure 10 Travel Time MapFigure 10 below shows the expected travel time to drive a car from the subject site to different locations across Melbourne. It can be seen below that travelling to the city and inner suburbs from the subject site generally takes between 5 to 10 minutes, while trips to middle to outer suburbs generally takes around 30 minutes.

5 GREEN TRAVEL INITIATIVES

5.1 General

The applicant has committed to implement a number of Green Travel Initiatives to encourage the use of pedestrian, bicycle and public transport travel to and from the site. The initiatives included in the package are outlined as follows.

5.2 Green Travel Plan Champion

A Green Travel Plan “Champion” will be appointed by the Owners Corporation / Management who will be responsible for the implementation and ongoing management of the Green Travel Plan.

5.3 Bicycle Facilities

The development proposes bicycle parking well in excess of the minimum statutory requirements, with secure facilities provided on the ground level. Bicycle parking facilities are located next door to the bicycle storage room, all of which is easily accessed from Little Oxford Street. Furthermore, a considerable proportion of bicycle parking spaces are provided in horizontal racks, which provide opportunities for all users, including the elderly, and electric bicycle users. Government policy currently aims to encourage the use of bicycles as a mode of transport in order to reduce the dependency on private vehicles. The provision of easily accessible bicycle facilities on-site is expected to increase the number of trips made by bicycle. The ground level bicycle storage area also includes a maintenance area which will include typical bicycle maintenance tools and equipment, including:

➢ A bicycle tyre pump; ➢ Tyre levers; and ➢ Standard hex keys and adjustable wrenches. All bicycle tools and equipment will be wired to the maintenance area, to prevent theft.

5.4 Public Transport

To encourage public transport use, information sourced from Public Transport Victoria (PTV) will be provided through posters and leaflets. The information detailed will address local services in regard to frequency, location and linkages to other networks. These will be displayed in common areas of the building to ensure they can be accessed by all tenants. Information on how to utilise the public transport system, and in particular how to purchase a Myki, the costs of a Myki, and the nearest Myki purchase and top-up locations will also be provided.

4 - 12 Langridge Street, Collingwood Green Travel Plan Page 17 200315GTP001A-F 19 August 2020

5.5 Car-Pooling

Car-pooling is when two or more people share a car and travel together. It allows people to benefit from the convenience of the car, whilst alleviating the associated problems of congestions and pollution. Added benefits include reduced operating and parking costs. Staff will be encouraged to car pool to the site with links to popular car pool matching websites provided on staff portals. Parking may be allocated in priority locations for staff who car pool to the site.

5.6 Building Intranet Site

An intranet site for the building will be established and maintained by the Owners Corporation / Management, which will include the following information for residents and employees:

➢ Information and contact details for the Owners Corporation / Management and the Green Travel Plan “Champion”; ➢ Maps of surrounding bicycle facilities and routes; ➢ Public transport maps and timetables; ➢ Information on how to use the public transport system, including how to purchase a Myki, Myki costs and top-up locations; ➢ Maps of surrounding services, including shopping locations, schools and services, with suitable non-car-based transport options (i.e. bike and walking routes, and public transport options); ➢ Links to relevant Green Travel, public transport and local services websites including:  www.walkscore.com  www.ptv.vic.gov.au  www.bicyclenetwork.com.au

5.7 Tenant Welcome Pack

All new residents and tenants will be provided with a ‘welcome pack’, which will include the following:

➢ General information about the development; ➢ Information regarding the building intranet site and the information contained within; ➢ Maps of surrounding bicycle facilities and routes; ➢ Public transport maps; ➢ Maps of surrounding services, including shopping locations, schools and services, with suitable non-car-based transport options (i.e. bike and walking routes, and public transport options); ➢ Links to relevant Green Travel, public transport and local services websites.

6 MAINTAINING THE GREEN TRAVEL PLAN

6.1 Monitoring and Assessment

In order to monitor the success of the aforementioned initiatives, it is proposed that a three-stage monitoring system be implemented, and the Green Travel Plan “Champion” be responsible for the ongoing monitoring and assessment of the Green Travel Plan. It is proposed that monitoring take place in the following stages:

➢ Stage One – would involve a questionnaire survey of staff on occupation of the proposed development. The survey will be useful to collect information on the travel characteristics of employees, to gauge interest in the various initiatives and to seek ideas for other initiatives and set baseline travel mode percentages such that they can attempt to meet the proposed targets; ➢ Stage Two – would involve a questionnaire and feedback form to be filled out by staff six months after occupation, in order to determine what initiatives are working and which are not; ➢ Stage Three – would be the monitoring component of the plan which would be undertaken 12 months after occupation. This questionnaire would test the success rate of the various initiatives and help rework programs to suit the needs of the new staff. At this stage, the targets previously identified will be reviewed. A questionnaire has been prepared for each of the three stages and have been provided within Appendix B.

6.2 Updates to the Green Travel Plan

The Owners Corporation / Management, in particular the Green Travel Plan “Champion”, shall be responsible for the maintenance of the Green Travel Plan, which shall be updated every 5 years to ensure it is still relevant, and achieving the required results. All costs associated with the management, maintenance and updating of the Green Travel Plan shall be borne by the Owners Corporation / Management.
