1. Introduction

1.1 Background

An application for a Planning Scheme Amendment has recently been submitted to rezone land

located at 1 Jacksons Road (Wise Wellness site) and 634-648 Wellington Road (OfficeMax site),

Mulgrave from a Commercial 2 Zone (C2Z) to a Mixed Use Zone (MUZ).

In summary, the ultimate development proposed on the land will incorporate a mix of residential,

office, medical centre, childcare centre and retail uses.

As part of the rezoning and future development, it is not proposed to amend the location of the

existing site access points. However, the Jacksons Road access point will be required to be

upgraded to a signalised intersection to support the expected site generated traffic under

ultimate development conditions. It should also be noted that as part of the rezoning

application, it was determined that the upgrade of the Jacksons Road access point to signals

would not be required until approximately 85% development of the ultimate scheme.

For further transport details regarding the above, please refer to GTA’s Transport Impact

Assessment Report for the proposed rezoning (dated 11/08/17).

1.2 Development Proposal

A town planning permit is now being sought for the first stage of development of the Wise

Wellness site. It is proposed to construct a new childcare centre in the south-east corner of the

site, to cater for up to 200 children.

It is proposed to use a portion of the currently underutilised existing on-site car park, located in

the south-west corner of the site to accommodate the car parking requirements of the proposal.

Vehicle access to the proposed development will continue to be available via the Jacksons

Road access which offers full turning movements (existing unsignalised layout) and the left-out

only access to Wellington Road.

An existing 115 place childcare centre is currently operational and will cease operation following

the development of the proposed new childcare. There is also an existing warehouse on the site

which has been non-operational since August 2016. It is understood that a Section 173

Agreement will be entered in to prior to the use of the proposed childcare centre commencing

which will prohibit the warehouse building from being used without sufficient car parking first

being provided onsite to the satisfaction of the relevant authorities.

It is also understood that the existing office facility on the Wise Wellness site will remain

operational following the proposed development, and that there will be no redevelopment of

the OfficeMax site at this stage.

On the above basis, GTA Consultants (GTA) was commissioned by the Applicant to undertake a

Transport Impact Assessment for the proposed first stage of development set out in the recent

rezoning application for the Planning Scheme Amendment.

2.2.2 Surrounding Intersections

The primary intersection in the vicinity of the site is the signalised intersection of Wellington Road /

Jacksons Road, located approximately 150m from the existing site access on Jacksons Road.

2.2.3 Traffic Volumes

GTA Consultants undertook traffic movement counts at the site access intersections on Jacksons

Road and Wellington Road on Monday 11 December (PM peak hour) and Tuesday 12 December

(AM peak hour) 2016.

It should be noted that the above traffic surveys recorded the turning movements in/out of the

site only. In order to obtain the through movements along Wellington Road and Jacksons Road,

weekday average volumes have been sourced from a week of VicRoads SCATS data (24-28 April

2017) at the intersection of Wellington Road / Jacksons Road, during the AM and PM peak hour

periods.

Based on the above, the existing AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes in the vicinity of the site

are shown in Figure 2.7 and Figure 2.8, respectively.

2.3.3 Cycle Infrastructure

The Principal Bicycle Network (PBN) is a network of on and off-road cycling corridors that have

been identified to support cycling for transport and access major destinations in metropolitan

Melbourne. The PBN was reviewed and updated in 2012 by VicRoads and all local Councils.

The PBN is also a ‘bicycle infrastructure planning tool’ to guide State investment in the planning

and development of the future metropolitan Melbourne bicycle network. In this regard, a subset

of the PBN has been identified and elevated to a higher level of priority, mainly on the basis of

potential for separation from motorised traffic, making these routes more attractive to less

experienced bike riders. These cycling corridors are referred to as Bicycle Priority Routes (BPRs)

and form part of the modal priorities for the road network set out in the VicRoads SmartRoads

framework. Strategic Cycle Corridors (SCC) form another subset of the PBN, and represent an

initiative outlined in Plan Melbourne to support walking and cycling in Central Melbourne. SCCs

are intended to be corridors designed to provide high quality bicycle infrastructure to, and

around, major activity areas in metropolitan Melbourne. Plan Melbourne outlines a subset of the

SCCs for the proposed expanded central city area.

It is noted that the type of bicycle facility (i.e. on or off-road and separated or shared) has not

been indicated as part of the PBN and BPRs. Rather, the PBN and BPRs show the proposed

cycling network. The associated facilities should be delivered in accordance with the relevant

standards and guidelines, such as the Australian Standards, Austroads Guides and VicRoads’

Cycle Notes.

The PBN and BPRs in the vicinity of the study area are shown in Figure 2.102.

Figure 2.10: VicRoads Principal Bicycle Network and Bicycle Priority Routes

As indicated in Figure 2.10, the PBN and BPRs run along both Wellington Road and Jacksons Road

in the immediate vicinity of the site.

3. Sustainable Transport Considerations

3.1 Walking & Cycling Network

3.1.1 External

As outlined in the previous sections, the site has footpaths along both frontages and the

signalised intersection of Wellington Road / Jacksons Road offers a crossing opportunity over both

roads. There is also a shared path provided within the reserve on the northern side of Wellington

Road.

Furthermore, the concept layout plan for the future Jacksons Road signalised access point

includes a future east-west signalised crossing opportunity over Jacksons Road for convenient

pedestrian connectivity to/from the site to the existing residential catchment to the east.

In addition to the shared path, the PBN and BPRs run along both Wellington Road and Jacksons

Road in the vicinity of the site.

3.1.2 Internal

It is important to note that whilst there will be no vehicular connection between the eastern and

western sites, internal pathways will be provided that will allow a good level of east-west

connectivity. Furthermore, all internal roadways will also provide pedestrian connections to the

external network.

3.2 Public Transport

The subject site has two bus stops located along its frontages to Wellington Road and Jacksons

Road, providing direct access to a total of six different bus routes. Therefore, access from the site

to public transport options is considered to be satisfactory, noting that public transport demands

for a childcare centre use are typically low.

3.3 Bicycle Parking

There is no statutory bicycle parking requirement associated with a childcare centre use.

However, it is understood that there may be some bicycle parking provided for the development

(quantity not determined at this stage). This bicycle parking is likely to be utilised mainly by

employees, given parents with young children would not typically travel via bicycle.

4. Car Parking

4.1 Preamble

It is proposed to utilise a portion of the existing car parking provided on-site to accommodate the

parking requirements of the proposed new childcare centre.

As previously noted, following development of the new childcare centre, the existing warehouse

and childcare centre on the site will cease operation. As GTA understands a Section 173

agreement will be entered in to prior to occupation of the proposed new childcare centre which

will prohibit the use of the existing warehouse or childcare centre unless car parking is provided to

the satisfaction of the relevant authorities. On this basis, the following car parking assessment

only considers the car parking requirements for the existing office building (to remain operational)

and the proposed new childcare centre.

4.2 Car Parking Assessment

4.2.1 Statutory Car Parking Requirements

Statutory requirements for the provision of car parking are set out in Clause 52.06 of the Monash

Planning Scheme, with parking rates specified in Table 1 to Clause 52.06-5. An assessment of the

statutory parking requirements for the development proposal is set out in Table 4.1.

Table 4.1: Statutory Car Parking Requirements – Proposed Childcare Centre

Use Size/No. Statutory Parking Rate Statutory Parking

Requirement

Childcare Centre 200 children 0.22 spaces / child 44 spaces

The above assessment anticipates the proposed new childcare centre has a statutory

requirement of 44 spaces.

4.2.2 Existing Office Car Parking Requirements

As previously noted, the existing office building on the Wise Wellness site will remain operational

following the proposed childcare centre development. Therefore, the anticipated car parking

requirement for the existing office is presented in Table 4.2, based on the statutory car parking

rate for an office use.

Table 4.2: Car Parking Requirements – Existing Office Building

Use Size Statutory Parking Rate Parking Requirement

Office 2,239sqm [1] 3.5 spaces / 100sqm 78 spaces

[1] Based on information provided to GTA by the Applicant

The above assessment indicates that the existing office has a car parking requirement of 78

spaces, based on statutory rates.

4.2.3 Summary of Car Parking Requirements

Based on the information presented in the previous sections, following development of the

proposed new childcare centre, the Wise Wellness site will have an overall statutory car parking

requirement of 122 spaces, including 44 spaces for the new childcare centre and 78 spaces for

the existing office building.

V115200 // 06/10/17

Transport Impact Assessment // Issue: A

1 Jacksons Road, Mulgrave, Proposed Childcare Centre 10

4.3 Adequacy of Parking Provision

Based on information provided to GTA, there will be a total provision of 150 on-site car parking

spaces immediately following development of the proposed new childcare centre. This provision

is anticipated to be satisfactory to meet the total car parking requirement of up to 122 spaces for

the existing office building and proposed new childcare centre.

Further to the above, on-site observations on a typical weekday afternoon indicated that the

existing car parking area that is proposed to be used for the development is currently highly

underutilised, even whilst the existing childcare centre is operational.

It is noted that this proposed car parking provision is an interim arrangement for the first stage of

development of the Wise Wellness site. It is understood that the car parking area for the new

childcare centre may be amended as part of further development and an appropriate new car

parking arrangement will be implemented as part of the applications for future stages of

development.

Given the above, the proposed interim car parking arrangement is considered to be satisfactory.

4.4 Car Parking Layout

It is proposed to utilise a portion of the existing car parking (to the west of the new development)

to cater for the demands of the new childcare centre.

The layout of this existing car parking area will primarily remain as per its existing layout, with the

following minor modifications to be implemented:

The existing north-south car parking aisle immediately west of the proposed

development will operate as a one-way drop off route (travelling southbound).

A loading zone / waste collection area has been added at the southern end of the car

parking area, measuring 3.6m wide x 12m long, capable of catering for vehicles up to

an 8.8m Medium Rigid Vehicle (MRV) in size. A swept path assessment has been

completed which demonstrates an 8.8m MRV accessing the loading area with

sufficient clearance (included in Appendix A).

Two new 90-degree car parking spaces have been added immediately west of the

new loading bay, which have been designed consistently with the surrounding existing

car parking.

It is noted that there are dimensional elements of the existing car park that are not strictly

compliant with the design requirements of Clause 52.06 of the Planning Scheme, such as space

lengths and aisle widths. However, it is not proposed to amend the layout of the existing car park

(other than the minor modifications outlined above) as the area will continue to operate as per

current arrangements. The next development stages will deliver new car parking areas, which will

be delivered in accordance with the relevant design standards.

Having consideration to the above, it is considered appropriate to utilise the existing car park as it

is currently designed in the interim, until the site is further developed and new car parking

arrangements are provided.

5. Loading & Waste Collection

5.1 Loading

Clause 52.07 of the Monash Planning Scheme is only applicable where buildings or works are

constructed for the manufacture, servicing, storage or sale of goods or materials.

Therefore, no on-site loading facility is required.

Notwithstanding, it is proposed to provide a loading zone in close proximity to the south-west of

the new childcare centre. As already noted, the loading zone is capable of catering for vehicles

up to an 8.8m medium rigid vehicle (MRV) in size. A clear zone is also provided to the rear of the

loading bay for unloading of goods.

5.2 Waste Collection

It is understood that waste collection will also be undertaken from the abovementioned loading

area, expected to be undertaken by a private waste collection contractor (refer to Waste

Management Report for further details).

6. Traffic Impact Assessment

6.1 Preamble

As part of the recently submitted rezoning application, a detailed traffic assessment has been

completed on the basis of full development of the overall Wise Wellness and OfficeMax sites

(refer to GTA’s Transport Impact Assessment Report for the proposed rezoning (dated 11/08/17).

The impact of the ultimate site generated traffic within the rezoning application to the following

intersections during the AM and PM peak hours was assessed using SIDRA Intersection 7.0:

Jacksons Road / Site Access

Wellington Road / Wise Wellness Site Access

Wellington Road / OfficeMax Site Access

Wellington Road / Jacksons Road.

The summary of the results from the above analysis indicates that the Wellington Road access

points will continue to operate without any issues following full development, but the Jacksons

Road site access will require signalisation at approximately 85% development of the Wise Wellness

site (vehicle access to the OfficeMax site is only available via Wellington Road).

6.2 Traffic Generation

Traffic generation estimates for the proposed new childcare centre use have been sought from

the RTA ‘Guide to Traffic Generating Developments’ (2002). The RTA Guide outlines rates of 0.8

and 0.7 vehicle movements per child during the AM and PM peak hours respectively.

Application of these rates to the development proposal equates to 160 and 140 vehicle

movements generated by the childcare centre during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively.

A childcare centre typically operates with high turnover of pick-up/drop-off movements.

Therefore, it has been assumed that there will be an in/out ratio of 50:50 during both the AM and

PM peaks.

6.3 Traffic Impact

As previously outlined, SIDRA modelling was undertaken as part of the rezoning application for

the overall site which indicated that signalisation of the Jacksons Road site access would be

required at approximately 85% development of the Wise Wellness site, which equates to a total of

469 site generated vehicle movements.

The Wise Wellness site currently generates up to 118 vehicle movements in a peak hour. Adding

the estimated traffic generation of the new childcare centre to the existing site generated traffic

equates to a total of 278 vehicle movements. It is noted that this presents a highly conservative

assessment as no site generated traffic has been deducted for the existing childcare centre

which will no longer be operational post development. Nonetheless, this equates to significantly

less site generated traffic than the trigger for signalisation of the Jacksons Road access.

Given the above, the existing unsignalised Jacksons Road site access is expected to be

adequate to cater for the additional traffic generated by the proposed new childcare centre.

7. Conclusion

Based on the analysis and discussions presented within this report, the following conclusions are

made:

i The proposed development generates a statutory car parking requirement of 44

spaces. It is proposed to utilise a portion of the existing car parking provided on-site to

cater for the car parking requirements of the proposed development.

ii Following the proposed development, the existing office (to be retained) and the

proposed new childcare centre will have a total car parking requirement of 122 spaces

(based on statutory parking rates).

iii Based on information provided to GTA, immediately following the development of the

childcare centre in Stage 1, there will be a total of 150 car parking spaces provided on-

site, which is expected to be sufficient to meet the above requirements.

iv The site is expected to generate up to 160 and 140 vehicle movements in the AM and

PM peak hours respectively.

v As part of the recently submitted rezoning application, a traffic assessment was

completed for full development of both the Wise Wellness and OfficeMax sites. This

assessment concluded that with approximately 85% development of the Wise Wellness

site, the Jacksons Road site access intersection would need to be upgraded to signals.

vi Given that the proposed new child care centre is the first stage of redevelopment for

the site and the existing 115 place childcare centre will not continue to operate, the

post development traffic volumes expected following this stage of development will be

well below those generated by 85% development of the ultimate Wise Wellness site

scheme. As such, the existing unsignalised site access to Jacksons Road is expected to

be satisfactory for this stage of development.
