Commodity aggregation refers to the sorting and consolidation of recycled materials in order to prepare them for sale to markets. Aurigen acquired a lease on 25 Jackson Street, Bassendean (the Site) in late 2015 where they propose to develop a Waste Transfer and Resource Recovery Facility (the Proposed Development). This will be an integrated Facility providing a range of recycling and waste management services reflective of modern, advanced facilities. Talis Consultants Pty Ltd (Talis) has been engaged by Aurigen to prepare a Traffic and Transport Assessment (the Assessment) to determine the potential traffic impacts of operating the Facility on the adjacent road network and also considers the traffic arrangements within the Site. This Assessment has been requested by the Town of Bassendean (the Town) to support Aurigen’s planning approval sought for the proposed Facility, in addition to the Environmental Assessment and Management Plan (EAMP). Operation of the Facility will generate new inbound and outbound vehicle movements accessing the Site and the Assessment provides evidence that this increase in traffic will not cause an unacceptable impact to surrounding businesses and other road users. 1.2 Scope of the Report This Traffic and Transport Assessment has been broadly prepared in general context with the Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) Traffic Impact Assessment Guidelines, Volume 4: Individual Developments (2016) to demonstrate to the Town that the Proposed Development will: Provide safe and efficient access for all modes of traffic type which will be associated with the proposed development; Be well integrated with surrounding land uses; Not adversely impact surrounding land uses; and Not adversely impact surrounding transport networks and the users of those networks.
