2.5 Crash Analysis A review has been conducted of VicRoads ‘Crashstats’ data base for the most recent five year period of available data from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2013 for any reported casualty crashes along Renver Road (between Wellington Road and Connam Avenue inclusive of the intersections), along Cambro Road (between Wellington Road and Connam Avenue inclusive of these intersections), along Wellington Road (between Renver Road and Cambro Road) and along Wellington Road service road (between Renver Road and Cambro Road inclusive of the intersections).

The analysis revealed no casualty crashes have occurred during this period. Therefore, it is considered that the road network surrounding the subject site is operating in a relatively safe manner.

Subject Site


3 The Development Plan The Development Plan envisages a four-storey apartment building and 28 townhouses, plus associated on-site basement level car parking on land at 1 Renver Road, Clayton.

Initial plans indicate:

122 apartments over four levels, comprising:

› 56 x one-bedroom apartments;

› 60 x two-bedroom apartments;

› 6 three-bedroom apartments.

28 townhouses, comprising:

› 4 x 2-bedroom townhouses

› 6 x 3-bedroom townhouses plus study

› 18 x 4-bedroom townhouses

A total of 205 car parking spaces could be provided on-site, comprising:

› 137 at-grade car parking spaces provided within a secured basement car park for the apartments, accessed from Renver Road;

› 10 spaces provided adjacent to the entry ramp into the basement;

› 56 car parking spaces provided for the 28 townhouses, with each of the two-storey townhouses provided with a double garage, and each of the three-storey townhouses provided with a tandem garage;

› 2 visitor spaces provided on ground level, with a space at the front of each of the townhouse driveways.

Vehicular access to the basement car park could be via a new double width crossover accessed from Renver Road. A security gate will be provided at the bottom of the entry ramp.

Access to the townhouses could be via two separate driveways, accessed via two separate crossovers from Renver Road.

Primary pedestrian access to the apartments could be provided from both Cambro Road and Renver Road. Pedestrian access to the townhouses will be from the driveways.


4 Park ing and Traff ic Assessment

4.1 Clause 52.06 Assessment Parking requirements for a range of uses are set out under Clause 52.06 of the Victoria Planning Provisions. The purpose of the Clause, amongst other things, is:

To ensure that car parking is provided in accordance with the State Planning Policy Framework and Local Planning Policy Framework.

To ensure the provision of an appropriate number of car parking spaces having regard to the demand likely to be generated, the activities on the land and the nature of the locality.

To support sustainable transport alternatives to the motor car.

To promote the efficient use of car parking spaces through the consolidation of car parking facilities.

To ensure that car parking does not affect the amenity of the locality.

To ensure that the design and location of car parking is of a high standard, creates a safe environment for users and enables easy and efficient use.

In accordance with the Car Parking Table to Clause 52.06-5, Table 4.1 below sets out the statutory parking requirements for the initial plans.

Table 4.1: Clause 52.06 Planning Scheme Assessment

Use Type Number Statutory Parking Rate Statutory

Requirement

Residential (apartments)

One Bedroom 56 x 1-bed apartment 1 space per dwelling 56 spaces

Two Bedrooms 60 x 2-bed

apartments 1 space per dwelling 60 spaces

Three bedrooms 6 x 3-bed apartments 2 spaces per dwelling 12 spaces

Residential (townhouses)

Two Bedrooms 4 x 2 bed townhouses 1 space per dwelling 4 spaces

Three or more Bedrooms

24 x 3 and 4 bed townhouses

2 spaces per dwelling 48 spaces

Visitor 150 dwellings total

(122 apartments + 28 townhouses)

1 visitor space per 5 dwellings

30 spaces

TOTAL 210 spaces

On the basis of the above, the initial plans would have a statutory requirement to provide 210 spaces (170 resident and 30 visitor spaces). Given that 205 on-site spaces are proposed, the development involves a shortfall of 5 car parking spaces against the requirements of the Planning Scheme.

Under the provision of Clause 52.06, the Responsible Authority is able to reduce the parking requirements (including reduced to zero), provided the applicant satisfies the responsible authority that the provision of car parking is justified on the basis of:


The car parking demand likely to be generated by the use;

Whether it is appropriate to allow fewer spaces to be provided than the number likely to be generated by the use.

An assessment of the expected parking demand and the appropriateness of allowing a reduction of on-site parking are discussed below:

4.2 Expected Parking Demand In accordance with Clause 52.06-6, an assessment of car parking demand likely to be generated by the use must have regard to the following factors, as appropriate:

The short-stay and long-stay car parking demand.

The availability of public transport in the locality.

The convenience of pedestrian and cyclist access to the site.

The provision of bicycle parking and end of trip facilities for cyclists.

Each of the relevant factors listed above has been given due consideration in the assessment of car parking demands for the proposal, as set out below.

Residential Visitor Parking Demand

Surveys undertaken by Cardno Richards Pty Ltd of visitor parking demands at residential developments in inner urban suburbs indicate that visitor parking demand varies throughout the day, with peak demands occurring between 6.00pm and 9.00am.

The surveys showed the peak visitor parking demand during business hours between 9.00am and 5.00pm on a weekday was 0.07 spaces per apartment. Outside business hours on weekdays, the peak visitor parking demand was equivalent to 0.12 spaces per apartment. These rates have typically been accepted by the Tribunal for visitor parking at inner and middle urban sites with a mix of apartment types and good access to public transport.

It is considered that due to the readily accessible public transport services in the vicinity of the site, a rate of 0.10 spaces per apartment provides a reasonable estimate of the peak visitor parking demand likely to be generated by the development during the day. Application of this rate to the 150 dwellings proposed results in an anticipated peak visitor parking demand for the development of up to 15 visitor spaces. This could be expected to increase to up to about 18 visitor spaces (0.12 spaces per apartment) during the evening and weekends when visitor demand is at its peak.

The proximity to the wide variety of bus services, and the proximity of nearby on-street public car parking, indicate that there is ample spare parking in the precinct to cater for off-site visitor parking demand.

4.3 Allowing Fewer Spaces to be Provided Clause 52.06-6 sets out the factors to be considered when determining the appropriateness of allowing fewer car parking spaces to be provided. Some of the relevant factors are:

Any relevant local planning policy or incorporated plan.

The availability of car parking including:

› Efficiencies gained from the consolidation of shared car parking spaces.


› Public car parks intended to serve the land.

› On street parking in non-residential zones and streets in residential zones specifically managed for non-residential parking.

› On street parking in residential zones for residential use.

The impact of fewer car parking spaces on local amenity including pedestrian amenity and the amenity of nearby residential areas.

Any other relevant consideration.

Those factors directly relevant to this assessment are discussed in more detail below:

Availability of Car Parking

Parking surveys outlined in Section 2.4, and other observations, confirm that the on-street parking along Renver Road and Cambro Road, and the surrounding local road network, typically experiences low demands throughout the day. The surveys indicated a minimum spare parking capacity of 20 spaces in the immediate vicinity of the site and 126 available spaces in the wider area during peak times, which provide suitable parking for visitors.

On this basis, all overflow visitor parking demand can be accommodated in suitable off-site parking locations within convenient proximity of the site.

Public Transport in the Locality

The site has very good access to a range of bus services operating in close proximity to the subject site. Bus routes 802, 804 and 862 operate along Wellington Road with the closest stop located approximately 190 metres north of the subject site. In addition, the site is walking distance to Monash University, which is serviced by a wide range of bus services.

Accordingly, the range of sustainable transport opportunities are expected to be well utilised by residents of the development and their visitors.

4.4 Adequacy of Parking Supply

With 205 on-site car parking spaces to meet the parking demands of the residential development, the level of parking provision is considered adequate for the following reasons:

The provision of one space to each of the one and two bedroom dwellings, and two spaces to each of the three and four bedroom dwellings meets the resident parking requirements of the Monash Planning Scheme.

The provision of 25 visitor car parking spaces meets the expected peak visitor parking demand.

The parking surveys indicate that suitable on-street parking is available for any overflow visitors in the vicinity of the subject site.

The site has very good access to the metropolitan public transport network and on-road bicycle facilities, which will reduce the dependence on the private motor vehicle ownership by residents/tenants of the development.

Given the close proximity of the site to Monash University, it is considered that a large percentage of residents will choose to cycle to University, reducing the reliance on motor vehicle.


Based on the above factors, the proposed provision of parking is considered appropriate and satisfactory.

4.5 Access Arrangements Initial plans have been prepared in accordance with the objectives of Clause 52.06-8 Design Standard 1 and Design Standard 3 of the Monash Planning Scheme, and AS/NZS 2890.1:2004, with vehicles able to gain safe and satisfactory ingress/egress to/from the site in a forward direction. Access to/from the basement car park and the townhouses are proposed via three separate vehicle crossings connecting to Renver Road. The proposed vehicle crossings will need to be designed in accordance with the City of Monash ‘Specification for Construction of Concrete Vehicular Crossings’.

A summary of the access arrangements is presented below:

Basement Car Park

The proposed vehicle crossing connects to a double width 7.6 metres wide access ramp, which then leads into the basement level car park.

Ramp gradients will be determined during the conceptual design stage, and designed within the gradient transition requirements set out in Clause 52.06-8 of the Planning Scheme. Given the proposed parking spaces adjacent to the basement ramp, it is recommended that the ramp gradient is no steeper than 1:16, in accordance with AS/NZS 2890.1:2004.

It is recommended that an exit sight splay is provided, measuring 2.0 metres by 2.5 metres, to provide adequate sight distance to pedestrians on the footpath.

Townhouse Driveways

It is proposed to provide two separate driveways accessed to/from Renver Road, with each of the driveways providing access to 14 townhouses.

The northern driveway is currently shown as 9.4 metres wide and the southern driveway is shown as 6.4 metres wide. No access is proposed to/from Cambro Road.

4.6 Car Park Layout The development accommodates a total of 205 parking spaces, comprising of:

137 parking spaces within the basement floor car park;

10 parking spaces adjacent to the basement ramp;

56 parking spaces within garages for the townhouses; and

One parking space provided at the front of both of the townhouse driveways.

Each car space has dimensions consistent with those outlined in Clause 52.06-8 of the Monash Planning Scheme and/or AN/NZS 2890.1:2004.

Basement Parking Spaces

All of the parking spaces comply with the dimensional requirements of Clause 52.06 of the Planning Scheme and/or AS/NZS 2890.1:2004, with the following minimum requirements:


› Minimum width of 2.6 metres and a length of 4.9 metres, accessed via a minimum 6.4 metre wide access aisle, in accordance with Clause 52.06-8 of the Monash Planning Scheme;

› In accordance with Design Standard 2: Diagram 1 of Clause 52.06, a minimum of 300mm clearance has been provided to parking spaces located adjacent to structures or objects that impact upon the parking envelope, with the exception of one space on the south-eastern corner of the basement. It is recommended that 300mm clearance is provided adjacent to this space.

No columns are currently shown in the basement level, and will be detailed during the conceptual design stage. It is recommended that all columns adjacent to parking bays are set back 250mm and extending to 1.25m back from the front of the parking space, which complies with Diagram 1 of Clause 52.06-8 Design Standard 2.

It is recommended that end bay islands are provided to protect cars that are parked in the end bays.

Townhouse Garage Spaces

Parking for the townhouses are provided within garages, with the 2 storey townhouses provided with a double garage, and the 3 storey townhouses provided with a tandem garage. A summary of the parking is outlined below:

The double garages have an internal width of 5.42 metres by 6.12 metres, accessed by a minimum aisle width of 6.4 metres. It is recommended that the width of these garages are increased to the minimum 5.5 metres, in accordance with AS/NZS 2890.1:2004.

The tandem garages have an internal length of 9.8 metres and an internal width of 3.56 metres. It is recommended that the length of the garage is increased to a minimum 11.4 metres.

4.7 Bicycle Parking The provisions set out under Clause 52.34-3 of the Monash Planning Scheme require that bicycle parking be provided at the following rates, as shown in Table 4.3:

Table 4.2: Bicycle Parking Statutory Requirements

Use Type Statutory Parking Rate Statutory Requirement

Residential (apartments)

Resident 1.0 space per five residential apartments

25 spaces

Visitor 1.0 space per 10 residential apartments

13 spaces

Total 38 spaces

Accordingly, the proposal has a statutory requirement to provide 38 bicycle spaces. It is recommended that a minimum of 38 on-site bicycle spaces are provided. It is noted that there is ample space to provide the required level of bicycle parking.

Bicycle storage for the townhouses may be within the garage.


4.8 Waste Management No waste storage area is currently shown and will be detailed further during the detailed design stage.

It is recommended that a Waste Management Plan be prepared at a later stage by a qualified consultant detailing the waste collection arrangements.

4.9 Design Recommendations The initial plans will be subject to further detailed design after the overall Development plan is approved. A summary of the design recommendations for the access arrangements and car parking layout to be considered during detailed design is outlined below:

1. An exit sight splay should be provided for the basement ramp, measuring 2.0 metres by 2.5 metres at the boundary, to provide adequate sight distance to pedestrians on the footpath.

2. Vehicle crossings to be designed in accordance with City of Monash’s ‘Specification for Construction of Concrete Vehicular Crossings’.

3. 300mm clearance to be provided adjacent to the space on the south-eastern corner of the basement.

4. It is recommended that the basement ramp is provided on a gradient no steeper than 1:16.

5. Location of structural columns to be shown in the basement (may result in the loss of some parking spaces, to be replaced as per 1 above). All columns adjacent to parking bays to be set back 250mm and extending to 1.25m back from the front of the parking space, which complies with Diagram 1 of Clause 52.06-8 Design Standard 2.

6. It is recommended that end bay islands are provided in the basement car park to protect cars that are parked in the end bays. However, a 6.4 metre wide aisle must be maintained throughout the car park.

7. It is recommended that a minimum of 38 bicycle parking spaces are provided on-site.

8. A Waste Management Plan is recommended to be prepared for the proposed development to detail the waste collection arrangements.


5 Traff ic Assessment

5.1 Traffic Generation Residential apartments of the type and location proposed generate approximately four vehicle trips per day for one and two bedroom dwellings, and up to eight trips a day for three or four bedroom dwellings allocated with two spaces. Therefore, the 122 apartments and 28 townhouses (consisting of 30 three or four bedroom dwellings and 120 one and two bedroom dwellings) would be expected to generate in the order of 720 vehicle trips per day. Generally, 10 percent of the trips, which equates to about 72 peak hour trips, will occur in each of the morning and evening peak hours.

The majority of the traffic generated by the residential development during the morning peak period will be residents departing the site (80 percent out and 20 percent in) and the majority of the traffic during the evening peak period will be residents returning to the site (30 percent out and 70 percent in).

Accordingly the expected trip generation for a typical weekday AM and PM peak hours is estimated as shown in Table 5.1

Table 5.1: Traffic Generation for the Development

AM Peak PM Peak

Arriving trips: 14 50

Departing trips: 58 22

Total trips: 72 72

5.2 Traffic Distribution and Impact The additional traffic generated by the proposed development will flow onto Renver Road, followed by Wellington Road or Princes Highway. The surrounding road network has the ability to accommodate the expected increase in traffic volume (in the order of 72 vehicle movements in the morning and afternoon peak hours) associated with the proposed development. Given that vehicles will able to exit the site in a forward direction onto Renver Road, it is expected that the development will not create adverse traffic safety or operational concerns.


5 Traff ic Assessment

5.1 Traffic Generation Residential apartments of the type and location proposed generate approximately four vehicle trips per day for one and two bedroom dwellings, and up to eight trips a day for three or four bedroom dwellings allocated with two spaces. Therefore, the 122 apartments and 28 townhouses (consisting of 30 three or four bedroom dwellings and 120 one and two bedroom dwellings) would be expected to generate in the order of 720 vehicle trips per day. Generally, 10 percent of the trips, which equates to about 72 peak hour trips, will occur in each of the morning and evening peak hours.

The majority of the traffic generated by the residential development during the morning peak period will be residents departing the site (80 percent out and 20 percent in) and the majority of the traffic during the evening peak period will be residents returning to the site (30 percent out and 70 percent in).

Accordingly the expected trip generation for a typical weekday AM and PM peak hours is estimated as shown in Table 5.1

Table 5.1: Traffic Generation for the Development

AM Peak PM Peak

Arriving trips: 14 50

Departing trips: 58 22

Total trips: 72 72

5.2 Traffic Distribution and Impact The additional traffic generated by the proposed development will flow onto Renver Road, followed by Wellington Road or Princes Highway. The surrounding road network has the ability to accommodate the expected increase in traffic volume (in the order of 72 vehicle movements in the morning and afternoon peak hours) associated with the proposed development. Given that vehicles will able to exit the site in a forward direction onto Renver Road, it is expected that the development will not create adverse traffic safety or operational concerns.


6 Conclus ionThe initial plans for residential development at 1 Renver Road, Clayton, comprise 122 apartments over four levels, and 28 three-bedroom townhouses. The proposed development would also include the provision of 205 on-site car parking spaces, accessed via Renver Road.

Based on the above considerations, it is considered that:

The proposed on-site parking provision is sufficient to accommodate the expected resident parking demand, as well as the expected residential visitor parking demands. Suitable on-street public parking is available to accommodate all overflow residential visitor parking demands.

Subject to the recommendations outlined in Section 4.9 of the report, the proposed car park and access arrangements are suitably designed and are in accordance with the requirements of the Monash Planning Scheme and/or AS/NZS2890.1:2004.

Up to 72 vehicular trips will be generated during the morning and afternoon peak hours by the proposed development. Traffic generated by the proposed development will be dispersed onto the surrounding road network, which has the capacity to accommodate the additional traffic volumes in a safe and satisfactory manner.

Bicycle parking is currently not shown in the plans. However, it is noted that there is ample space to provide for the required number of bicycle parking under Clause 52.34 of the Monash Planning Scheme.

Overall, the proposed development is not expected to create adverse traffic or parking impacts in the precinct. Accordingly, it would be appropriate to approve a Development Plan incorporating a proposal of the indicated type and scale.
