Executive Summary

JM10913 23/11/12 Amendment C154 - Hume Planning Scheme, Greenvale Central Precinct Structure Plan (PSP 21) Issue: Final Transport Evidence Statement on Behalf of Aitken College

Executive Summary The Growth Areas Authority has prepared a precinct structure plan for the Greenvale Central (North) and Greenvale Central (South) precincts. Aitken College is concerned about the traffic impacts at its entry on Mickleham Road immediately to the north of the Greenvale Central (North) precinct.

The Aitken College intersection is already operating at capacity, with development in the area continuing to erode its capacity. When Aitken College was developed it was situated in a rural living zone outside the Urban Growth Boundary.

VicRoads 2011 traffic volume data suggests that the existing traffic volume on Mickleham Road between Somerton Road and Craigieburn Road is in the order of 11,000 vehicles per day. The proposed PSP will increase this by 4,900 vehicles per day or some 45%.

VicRoads’ traffic impact appraisal guidelines state that the extent of the road network to be analysed should not necessarily be confined to that in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development site but should generally include all midblocks and all intersections where the traffic generation of a development is expected to increase movements by more than 10%.

The PSP traffic report has not assessed the impact on the adjacent Aitken College intersection on Mickleham Road, nor has it assess the impact on the intersection of Somerton Road/Mickleham Road.

It is unreasonable to expect that Aitken College should be responsible for an upgrade to its entry to accommodate traffic generated by other developments. The PSP should include works to ensure that the proposed traffic generation does not have an adverse impact on the operational efficiency and safety of the existing road infrastructure.

1. Introduction

1.1 Background A Panel has been convened to consider submissions relating to the proposed Amendment C154 to the Hume Planning Scheme. The Amendment relates to the proposed Greenvale Central Precinct Structure Plan (PSP 21) prepared by the Growth Areas Authority (GAA).

The Greenvale Central PSP is split into two areas:

• Greenvale Central (South), comprising some 164 hectares of land located to the west of Mickleham Road and south of Somerton Road

• Greenvale Central (North), comprising some 73 hectares located generally to the east of Mickleham Road and north of Somerton Road.

Aitken College is an established school use located on the northern boundary of the Greenvale Central (North) PSP area with its sole vehicular access via Mickleham Road. Their concerns of a transport planning nature are related to the uncertainty of the future efficiency and safety of their access as a result of the PSP, that the traffic studies completed for the PSP have not fully taken into account existing conditions on Mickleham Road and in particular the access needs of the College.

1.4 Instructions & Scope of Report GTA Consultants was commissioned by Aitkin College in November 2012 to prepare and present expert traffic and transport evidence at the Panel hearing pursuant to Amendment C154 of the Hume Planning Scheme (Greenvale Central PSP).

Prior to preparing this evidence I was briefed by Ms Trisha Brice of The Planning Group regarding the proposal.

This evidence sets out an review of the traffic impact assessments completed thus far as part of the PSP, specifically including the information and assessments presented in relation to Mickleham Road, its intersection with Hillview Road, the potential impacts on the College’s access point, and the proposed French Road extension.

2. Subject Site & Background

2.1 Aitken College Aitken College (the “College”) is located at 1010 Mickleham Road in Greenvale and is currently situated within an Urban Growth zone (UGZ)1

The College site of approximately 18 hectares has a western frontage of 200 metres to Mickleham Road, to which it has a main access drive (located approximately 60 metres south of its northern boundary). An unsealed access track is also located along its southern boundary with access to Mickleham Road. This unsealed access provides access to the existing farmhouse and connects to the informal maintenance tracks internally.

. The College has been in operation at this site for some 14 years and has a current student enrolment of approximately 1,270 pupils from prep to year 12.

When the College was originally developed in 1998 it had approval for 1,200 students on site and the land surrounding the College was zoned for "rural living”. The student population reached this limit in around 2005.

An order granted by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in late 2011 (VCAT reference no. P2068/2011, dated 23 November 2011) permits the number of enrolments at the College to increase to 1,350 students. This increase on existing numbers is essentially to facilitate the inclusion of kindergarten classes and allowed for the existing classes to reach to year 12. The College has no plans to seek any further increases in numbers, with the current College population having been stable for some years now.

The planning permit, in mitigation of the traffic impacts associated with the proposed increase in enrolments, also requires some external road works on Mickleham Road, which are programmed to occur at the end of this year. This work entails the provision of a left turn ‘slip’ lane on the north approach and a 60 metre extension of the existing right turn lane on the south approach, with the works to mitigate the impact of increasing the enrolment allowance from 1,200 students to 1,350 students. These works will help to improve the traffic capacity of the College entry, which has been worsening as through traffic grows on Mickleham Road due to residential development in the area. At present right turning into the College can extend back past Hillview Road. The proposed roadworks should shorten this queue and allow it to be contained within the extended turn lane. However, continuing increases in residential traffic on Mickleham Road will erode the available capacity at the intersection and has the potential to result in extended queues again blocking the north bound through lane and increasing delays for exiting traffic.

For reference, Figure 2.1 shows the location of the College site in context with the Greenvale Central PSP.

1 It is understood that the College land will sought to be re-zoned as an ‘education centre’ as part of a separate Panel process.

2.2 Surrounds

2.2.1 Development Areas

Aitken College sits immediately to the south of the Providence Estate, which is presently under development. None of the roads within the Providence Estate extend to the Aitken College boundary. A second retarding basin is undertsood to be proposed in the southeast corner of the Providence Estate, immediately north of the Aitken College Playing Fields.

To the south of the College is the Greenvale Central (North) PSP and to the west of Mickleham Road is the Greenvale West PSP.

2.2.2 Road Network

Mickleham Road is a primary arterial road under the control of VicRoads. It is presently a two lane road. Mickleham Road carries approximately 11,800 vehicles per day north of Somerton Road.2

VicRoads proposes at some unknown time in the future to duplicate the road. Cross-sections provided within the Greenvale West PSP indicate an allowance for a 6-lane divided cross-section.

The intersection of Mickleham Road and the College entrance has been developed with a right turn lane on Mickleham Road and separate and right turning lanes on the College access. The existing Mickleham Road right turn lane has a storage length of approximaltey 65 metres and a taper of 50 metres. The proposed works will increase the storage by 60 metres.

3. Review of Greenvale Central PSP Traffic Assessment

On review of the “Transport Assessment Report” prepared by Traffix (dated July 2012), it is evident that there are a number of matters which have not been reviewed or assessed which will have a significant impact on the operation of Mickleham Road and the College’s existing access point. These items are discussed further below.

3.1 Mickleham Road/College Access VicRoads’ Traffic Impact Assessment Guidelines (TIAR Guidelines - May 2006) states that

“The transport performance objectives of the proposed development should ensure that:

• For existing road infrastructure - any potential adverse effects from land use development proposals on road safety and operational efficiency are identified and, where necessary, developers provide mitigating road improvement works as part of the development costs to minimise these effects and retain, within practical limitations, the level of safety and operational efficiency that would have existed without the development.”

and

“The extent of the road network to be analysed should not necessarily be confined to that in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development site. It should generally include all intersections and all mid block locations where any traffic movement is increased by an amount of 10% or greater as a result of traffic generated by the proposed development/land use and/or resultant changes in travel patterns brought about by the proposal, and/or at any other location identified as necessary by the relevant road authority.”

In this instance, the Mickleham Road intersection providing access to the College is part of the existing road infrastructure and therefore falls under the above requirements. The increase in northbound through traffic in the AM peak is predicted to be over 30%, well above VicRoads’ 10% trigger for assessment.

On this basis, it is considered a reasonable expectation that the traffic assessments for the Greenvale Central PSP examine the likely impact of the additional PSP traffic on the operation on the College’s access point both in the short and long term and fund any required mitigation works.

Importantly, the College should not be held responsible for the continuing degradation of the intersection capacity at its entrance due to the approval of residential development in its vicinity. I further note that when the College was developed, this area was not within the urban growth boundary.

The only response to this issue to-date seems to be that an alternative road access to the College will be provided from within the residential areas. However, a significant amount of work would be required within the College to connect to the Greenvale Central (South) precinct due to the grades and Brodies Creek and associated flood plain running through the College site. In this regard a bridge over Brodies Creek and flood plain has been preliminarily costed at over $4 million, and this has not been proposed to be funded by the DCP.

Review of Greenvale Central PSP Traffic Assessment

JM10913 23/11/12 Amendment C154 - Hume Planning Scheme, Greenvale Central Precinct Structure Plan (PSP 21) Issue: Final Transport Evidence Statement on Behalf of Aitken College Page: 6

VicRoads has continually advised that the College entrance is unlikely to be upgraded by the road authority due to the proximity of signalised intersections serving the abutting residential areas and further that the College entry may in fact be limited to left in and left out movements when Mickleham Road is ultimately duplicated. Again, however, no assessment has been undertaken as to the impact of this on the College traffic, which would result in the need for the nearby signals to accommodate U-turning traffic from the College. These types of manoeuvres have significant impacts on the capacity of signalised intersections and this impact has also never been analysed. U-turns would also not cater for the buses that access the College.

3.2 Mickleham Road Shared Footway The proposed public transport and walking trails plan shows that a shared footway is proposed to extend up Mickleham Road, with the route on the plan ending with an arrow pointing north outside the College. There is no indication on whether this path will connect to the College’s entry and link to the Providence Estate, nor is there any indication on how it would be funded. Again reminding that when the College was developed it was not in an urban growth zone and it has been developed as a regional College, the new residential areas in Greenvale may result in some local enrolments and accordingly the requirement for pedestrian and cyclist access should be included in the development contributions plan for the PSP. Linkage to the Providence estate is also important to complete the network.

I note that whilst access to the College site may be available from the French Street extension to the College boundary, the small bridge across Brodies Creek within the College is in a flood plain so is not an all-weather access and therefore can’t be relied upon for access. Such a route would also not service connections across to the Providence estate to the north of the College.

3.3 Mickleham Road / Hillview Road The road reservation set aside for the Mickleham Road/Hillview Road intersection should have regard to the future duplication of Mickleham Road, noting the current functional layout plan (refer Appendix B) only indicates interim arrangements and hence it is unclear of an ultimate layout is being allowed for. Furthermore, the ‘extent of works’ shown on the plan appears to be incorrect. The plan indicates works extending north on Mickleham Road towards Aitken College beyond the extent of the plan. It is therefore not immediately apparent where the road works on Mickleham Road commence or terminate, or what impact they may have on the College’s access point and its (soon to be extended) right turn deceleration lane.3

As discussed above, without an assessment of the impact of the College’s access on Mickleham Road it is difficult to understand if the College traffic queue may extend back past Hillview Road as it is currently known to do. The impact of such an event has presumably not been assessed and it is also difficult to know from the Traffix Group report if any allowance has been made during the intersection analyses of the high peak load (peak flow factor) at College drop off and pick up times.

Furthermore the functional layout plan prepared by Traffix Group for the Mickleham Road /Hillview Road intersection is inconsistent with the plans also prepared by Traffix Group and currently under construction for the nearby Mickleham Road / Dellamore Boulevard intersection (located to the north

3 It is noted that Traffix Group would be aware of the proposed works at Aitken College having assisted Hume City Council in its review of the

College’s application to increase enrolments.

of the College). That intersection is being developed with median islands on Mickleham Road and two southbound through lanes. Such an allowance has not been made in the functional layout plan for Mickleham Road / Hillview Road which appears to be an inconsistent approach.

Finally, I note that the ‘extent of works’ indicated on the functional layout plans do not extend to the full extent of the widening works required on Mickleham Road to develop the turn lanes. This may impact on costs.

3.4 Other Matters The Traffix Group report contains no assessment of the future operation of the Mickleham Road / Somerton Road roundabout. This is considered a key intersection for the precinct and particularly College traffic.

The ongoing efficient operation of this intersection is critical in not only accommodating new traffic from the Greenvale Central PSP but also existing precinct traffic (including the College), Greenvale West PSP, and other land being currently developed to the north.

4. Summary of Opinion & Other Statements

4.1 Summary of Opinion Based on the analysis and discussions presented within this evidence, the following is a summary of my opinion:

i The traffic impact assessments prepared for the PSP do not sufficiently consider or present the following information: • the impact that the additional PSP traffic will have on the College’s access point and

works necessary to mitigate such impacts • the adequacy of the Mickleham Road/Hillview Road intersection to cater for the peak

College traffic • if sufficient land has been set aside at the Mickleham Road / Hillview Road intersection

to accommodate: • the future duplication of Mickleham Road • the resulting traffic movements if the College’s access point is modified as a result

of the duplication of Mickleham Road • provision for a shared path linking to the College and Providence estate to the north

along Mickleham Road • the traffic impact on the Mickleham Road/Somerton Road intersection.

4.2 Other Statements i No opinion provided in this evidence is provisional. ii No questions or statements outside of my expertise have been addressed in this evidence. iii This evidence is not incomplete or inaccurate.

Declaration I have made all the inquiries that I believe are desirable and appropriate and that no matters of significance that I regard as relevant have, to my knowledge, been withheld from the tribunal.
