2.2 CURRENT LAND USES

The subject site is presently a two bedroomed, single storey residential building with 11 parking bays. See Photo 1.

Photo 1: The site is presently occupied by a single storey residence

Other land uses in the immediate vicinity of the site are generally a mixture of commercial shopping centres, offices, consulting rooms and civic buildings interspersed with older stock walk up apartments and newer, single residential buildings.

2.3 ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS

The site is currently only accessible via a single, wide crossover on Canning Highway (See Photo 1). At this location on Canning Highway there is no central median and vehicles are currently able to access the site from both directions.

2.4 ADJACENT ROAD NETWORK

Canning Highway fronts the site and is the primary east-west arterial in the area with a posted speed limit of 60km/h. Approximately 150m to the west of the subject site is Stock Road, also with a posted speed limit of 60km/h, which continues south into the industrial area of O’Connor and beyond to Bibra Lake. The traffic signals at the Stock Road intersection are visible from the subject site (see Photo 2). Nearly 500m to the east of the subject site is Preston Point Road which rejoins Canning Highway several kilometres to the west and serves as an access route into Attadale and Bicton with a posted speed limit of 50km/h.

Prinsep Road and Moreing Road are minor access roads to the east and west of the subject site which intersect with Canning Highway. They are not immediately adjacent to the subject site.

Canning Highway is classified as a Primary Distributor Road in the Main Roads WA (MRWA) Functional Road Hierarchy as shown in Figure 2.3. Preston Point Road is a Distributor B road and Stock Road (south of Canning Highway) is classified as a Distributor A road. Moreing and Prinsep Roads are both classified as Access roads.

2.5 EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES

Traffic counts from the MRWA Traffic Map show that adjacent to the site, Canning Highway carries about 25,000 vehicles per day (vpd) on an average weekday, of which 6% are heavy vehicles. During the AM peak hour Canning Highway carries nearly 2,000 vehicles per hour (vph) with 1100vph eastbound and 900vph westbound.

Preston Point Road carries a little over 10,000vpd on an average weekday with 6% heavy vehicles as well. Stock Road south of Canning Highway carries 15,100vpd with 8% heavy vehicles.

No count data was available for Prinsep Road or Moreing Road.

2.6 CRASH HISTORY

The MRWA Crash Analysis Reporting System (CARS) was interrogated for crash data along Canning Highway between and including Prinsep Road and Moreing Road for the latest five-year period from January 2014 to December 2018.

The crash data reveals that there were 3 recorded crashes at the Moreing Road intersection, 7 crashes at the Prinsep Road intersection and 4 midblock crashes. Of the 3 Moreing Road intersection crashes 2 resulted in major Physical Damage Only (PDO) and one required medical treatment. All involved right turn movements.

Out of the 7 Prinsep Road intersection crashes, there were 5 major PDO crashes, one requiring medical treatment and one with minor PDO. They comprised a combination of sideswipe crashes, rear-end crashes and right-angle crashes.

The four midblock crashes all required medical treatment, two were rear-end crashes and two were right angle crashes.

2.7 PLANNED CHANGES TO THE ROAD NETWORK

There are no known planned changes to the road network in the immediate vicinity of the site.

3. PROPOSAL

3.1 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

The proposed development will consist of a four-storey building with 14 one- and two-bedroom apartments, together with one ground floor office. Parking and storage will be located in a single basement level.

The basement layout is shown in Figure 3.1. The layout of the other floors is attached in Appendix A.

Figure 3.1: Proposed Basement Plan

3.2 PROPOSED ACCESS

The site will have a single vehicular crossover from Canning Highway, leading to the basement parking area via a ramp. The crossover will be located at the southern end of the frontage, approximately 2.3m from the southern boundary, as shown in Figure 3.1.

Site distance to the west for vehicles leaving the site is good and drivers can see beyond the traffic signals at the Stock Road intersection more than 150m away. Sight distance to the east is somewhat restricted by a large tree in the verge (see Photo 3). This is similar to a number of other crossovers on Canning Highway. Residents however, will become familiar with the situation over time and will edge out onto the verge to get a better view of oncoming traffic when they want to turn right out of the subject site. During the busy AM and PM peak periods some residents may avoid the right turn out of the site by taking a series of left turns to arrive at the Stock Road intersection and the protection of traffic signals.

Photo 3: Sight distance to the east is partially obscured by a large tree.

Access to the parking areas will be controlled by separate inbound and outbound, motorised gates across the driveway which is 5.5m wide. The gates will be installed inside the footprint of the building which will allow a single inbound vehicle to wait on the driveway while the gates open without encroaching on the footpath or verge.

Pedestrian access will be centrally placed between the commercial space and the driveway. Access to the commercial space is via the internal pedestrian entrance.

3.3 PARKING

Parking requirements for the site have been identified from the City of Melville’s Planning Scheme No. 2, Local Planning Policy LPP1.6, Car Parking and Access.

Residential parking design and access addressed by the WAPC R-Codes and the subsequent State Planning Policy 7.3 (SPP7.3), Volume 2- Apartments. Table 3.9 in SPP7.3 identifies that 0.75 bays per 1-bedroom unit and 1 bay per 2-bedroom unit are required for Location A-type apartments. Therefore 14 residential bays are required for the subject site. Location A-type apartments are located within 250m of a high frequency bus-route i.e. Canning Highway.

In addition, Table 3.9 identifies that 1 visitor bay per four dwellings up to 12 dwellings, plus an additional 1 bay per eight dwellings for the 13th dwelling and above is recommended, in this case 4 visitor bays.

The commercial element has a total NLA of approximately 82m2 and according to Table 1: Car parking ratios of LPP1.6 is required to provide 1 bay per 50m2 or in this case, 2 bays.

DVC Z716 422 Canning Hwy TIS - Rev2 8 November 2019 Client: Griffin Group Project: 422 Canning Highway, TIS

The proposed layout plan for the development shows a total of 20 parking bays being provided within the site, 17 of which are provided in a ‘parking stacker’ for the use of the residents and commercial tenant. The remaining 3 bays are all at ground level and are marked as Visitor bays and include one accessible parking bay. The accessible bay will need to be entered in reverse to take advantage of the shared space.

SPP7.3 notes that visitor car parking may be reduced where there is adequate on-street parking, or public parking in the near vicinity of the development. Embayed on-street parking is provided on Moreing Street adjacent to Canning Highway and there are no restrictions to on-street parking along the remainder of Moreing Street, a short walk away from the subject site. In this instance the shortfall of 1 visitor bay can easily be accommodated by on-street parking nearby. It may also be possible to use the surplus parking bay in the basement car stacker for visitor parking, especially regular visitors to the development. Clear instructions on how the stacker operates would need to be provided and the allocated bay would need to be clearly marked as visitor parking.

SPP7.3 also identifies that 0.5 bicycle parking spaces per dwelling for residents and 1 space per 10 dwellings for visitors should be provided. The plans show that 7 vertical (hanging) bicycle spaces are provided for tenants in the basement with adequate, additional visitor bays provided at ground level adjacent to the landscaped area.

4. TRAFFIC IMPACT

4.1 TRIP GENERATION

Based on standard published trip generation rates (WAPC Transport Impact Assessment Guidelines, Volume 5, Table 1: Typical Land Use Vehicle Trip Rates) the residential apartments are expected to generate a maximum of 12 trips in the peak hour (combined in and out directions). In the AM peak hour up to 9 vehicles could leave the site and in the PM peak hour 7 vehicles could arrive at the site.

The standard trip generation rate for offices is around 2 peak hour trips per 100m2 GFA. This indicates that the ground floor office, with an NLA of approximately 82m2, might generate up to 2 trips in each of the AM and PM peak hours.

In total, therefore, the development might be expected to generate in the region of 14 trips in each peak hour.

This level of trip generation is only considered to represent a ‘moderate impact’, and no further technical analysis is therefore required.

4.2 SERVICE VEHICLES

It is not expected that many service vehicle trips will be generated by the development, with only the weekly refuse collection trucks likely to visit.

Bins would be kept in the enclosure shown on the layout plan, and would be wheeled out onto the verge for pick up. No refuse trucks would therefore need to enter the site.

5. SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT ACCESS

5.1 PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS

Footpaths are provided along both sides of Canning Highway and provide good pedestrian and cycle access to the nearby retail and commercial precincts to the west, near the Stock Street intersection.

Much of the public amenity in this area is associated with the Swan River, located north of the site. Both Moreing Road and Prinsep Road are quiet residential roads which provide direct access to the river without having to cross Canning Highway. Crossing Canning Highway itself to amenities on the southern side is less appealing and there is no median directly opposite the subject site. There is however adequate median protection for pedestrians on Canning Highway at its intersection with Prinsep Road (see Photo 3). There are also pedestrian phases at the Canning Highway/Stock Road signalised intersection.

Photo 3: Adequate median protection for pedestrians at Prinsep Road intersection

5.2 PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Canning Highway is a high capacity public transport route. Transperth Route 910 operates between Fremantle and the Perth Busport and in the AM peak hour has a bus every 5 minutes. Transperth Route 111 operates between Fremantle and Hale Street (at the WACA) via the City and has a frequency every 6 to 10 minutes. Bus stops are within a short walk of the subject site on both sides of Canning Highway.

6. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

6.1 SUMMARY

The Griffin Group has commissioned Donald Veal Consultants to prepare this Transport Impact Statement report to support a Development Application for 14 one- and two- bedroom apartments and a single ground floor office at 422 Canning Highway, Attadale.

The development site is located on the north side of Canning Highway, some 150m east of Stock Road, and is presently occupied by a single storey residential property with 11 parking bays.

The City of Melville’s Local Planning Policy LPP1.6 and State Planning Policy 7.3 (SPP7.3), have identified that the proposed development is required to provide 16 parking bays for tenants and 4 bays for visitors. A total of 20 bays are shown, 17 of which are in a parking ‘stacker’ and the remaining 3 are visitor bays, all accessible in the basement level. According to SPP7.3 visitor bays can be reduced if there is nearby on-street parking available, which is the case along Moreing Street adjacent to the site.

The development is expected to generate about 14 trips in each peak hour, and as such has only a moderate transport impact on the local road network.

The site is on a busy public transport route. In the AM peak hour, it can be expected that there will be a bus passing the site on average every 3 minutes.

Visibility along Canning Highway to the west is somewhat compromised by a large verge tree. This is a similar situation for many properties fronting Canning Highway.

6.2 CONCLUSION

The development is not expected to generate a significant number of peak hour trips, and has sufficient on-site parking and nearby on-street parking to meet the required provision. There is excellent public transport in front of the site and the shared paths along Canning Highway are adequate. Access and egress arrangements are considered satisfactory.

We therefore support the development application in terms of its traffic and road safety impact and recommend its approval.
