1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

This Construction Traffic Management Plan has been prepared for use during excavation and construction of a

three -level 13,000m2 Forensic Pathology and Coroners Court at Lidcombe, New South Wales. The purpose-built

facility will be constructed north east of the Joseph Street and Weeroona Road. This new development shall

consist of courtrooms for coronial hearings, and an overall better working environment for coronial and forensic

medicine teams.

1.2 STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION

Liaise with Principal and other Certifying Authorities, including NSW Police, and Local Council. Watpac Constructions shall provide neighbouring properties, emergency services, and Council with 5 days’ notice before commencement of works. Affected Residents to be notified by way of a memo placed in the letterbox outlining the works. Emergency Services shall be notified by email.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 SCOPE AND LOCATION OF WORKS

Figure 1: Site Location

Watpac Construction and Lack Group have made a site inspection to determine the best traffic scenario to ensure safe movement of vehicles on the existing road while construction works are undertaken. Based on the inspection, Watpac Construction and Lack Group have made a risk assessment of the site specific conditions on Weeroona Road and Joseph Street and determined that the safest methodology for civil works is to install truck turning signage on Weeroona Road. The approach signage for the site entry extends for one hundred and twenty metres (120m) east and west along Weeroona Road, Lidcombe. Construction vehicles, be they light or heavy, shall turn right only out of the site, and are prohibited from utilising Botannica Drive, Betty Cuthbert Drive, and Pepper Tree Road. Internal signage, comprising of “No Left Turn” and “Stop – Watch for Pedestrians” shall be installed at the driveway exit to enforce this Council Condition. There is no site access from Weeroona Road from the east, or via Main Street from to north.

3.0 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS

3.1 ROAD CONFIGURATIONS

Figure 2: Satellite Image of Construction Site and Surrounds

Weeroona Road is a sixty kilometre per hour (60km/h), regional* road running approximately east-west in

Lidcombe, New South Wales. It is a RMS owned, two lane two way road with 2 way bike lanes on each shoulder.

Approaching the signalised intersection the bike les end and the road changes to four lanes. Weeroona Road

has a total width of twelve metres (12m). Weeroona Road intersects with Joseph Street at the site location.

Joseph Street is a sixty kilometre per hour (60km/h), state* road running approximately north-south in

Lidcombe, New South Wales.

* State Roads are the primary network of principal traffic carrying and linking routes for the movement of people and goods within the urban centres of Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and Central Coast, and throughout the State. These are the responsibility of the Roads and Traffic Authority (i.e. State Government) to fund, prioritise and carry out works. State Roads generally include those roads classified as Freeways, State Highways and Main Roads under the Roads Act, however there are a few. Interestingly, the council remains the “owner” and “authority” for State Roads other than Freeways, and the RTA only exercises road authority functions to the extent necessary for the functioning of the road as a State Road (i.e. councils are responsible for the footpaths and road reserve, whilst the RTA is responsible for the pavement and structures).

Regional Roads comprise the secondary road network which, together with State Roads, provide for travel between smaller towns and districts and perform a sub-arterial function within major urban centres. These roads are the responsibility of councils (including determining priorities and carrying out works) but receive a block grant of funding from the State Government. This category generally includes those roads classified as Secondary Roads and many of the less significant Main Roads, plus many roads not classified under the Roads Act.

Local Roads comprise those roads not classified under the Roads Act 1993 and some classified roads that now provide for only local access and communication. These roads are the responsibility of Local Government authorities with only limited funding assistance from the State Government.
