2 Proposed Development

2.1 General

The proposed development is located at 12-18 Albert Street Richmond and is an office development

spanning 7 levels, with a café tenancy and meeting rooms proposed across a ground level fronting Albert

Street and Gibbons Street. Based on plans prepared by Bates Smart dated 28 March 2017, the development

includes:

A total of eight (8) levels, with Ground Floor to Level 6 designed for office use comprising a net

leasable floor area of 2,804m2;

A café tenancy comprising 96m2 of leasable floor area;

21 on-site office staff and visitor car parking spaces across ground level and within a basement car

park; and

28 on-site office staff and visitor bicycle parking spaces.

All on-site car parking is provided for office use only, with no on-site café staff / patron parking provided.

2.2 Car Parking and Access

On-site car parking is proposed to be provided across a single level basement, with a total of 17 spaces

provided to cater for office parking needs. The total basement level parking supply includes one (1)

accessible parking bay.

An additional four (4) at-grade staff and visitor parking spaces are proposed to be provided along the

southern boundary of the site and accessed directly via Gibbons Street.

Vehicle access to the site is directly from Gibbons Street, along the southern boundary of the site. An access

ramp leading to the basement car park is proposed in the southeast corner of the site.

2.3 Bicycle Parking

Of the 28 bicycle parking spaces proposed, 19 office staff spaces are to be located within a secured bike

store in the southeast corner of the basement car park. Access to these spaces is proposed via either the

basement access ramp or the single elevator located centrally to the development and accessed via the

lobby on the ground floor level. A further five (5) office staff bicycle parking rails are proposed at ground level

adjacent to the basement access ramp, with access to these spaces provided directly from Gibbons Street.

Two (2) bicycle hoops able to accommodate four (4) bicycle parking spaces will form the remainder of the

proposed on-site bicycle parking supply. These spaces are to be in the form of ‘Arc de Triomphe’ horizontal

rails primarily for use by office visitors. These rails are to be positioned in front of the building’s foyer

entrance in the northwest corner of the site, with access provided via Albert Street.

Bicycle parking allocations are shown on the plans attached as Appendix A to this report.

4 Sustainable Transport

4.1 Public Transport Network

The subject site has excellent access to public transport services, with train and tram services operating in

close proximity to the site.

East Richmond Station is conveniently situated approximately 300 metres northwest of the subject site. This

station provides access to trains on the Alamein, Belgrave, Glen Waverley and Lilydale lines, as well as

providing convenient access to additional metropolitan rail services via Richmond and Flinders Street

Stations. Additionally, Richmond Station and Burnley Station are located approximately 1 kilometre

northwest and northeast of the subject site respectively.

Conveniently, Tram route 78 operates along Church Street, just west of the subject site. This route provides

services between Balaclava and North Richmond via Windsor, Prahran, South Yarra and Richmond. The

nearest stop associated with this route is located at the corner of Gibbons Street and Church Street,

approximately 90 metres walking distance from the subject site.

Figure 4-1 shows a map of public transport routes in the area, while Table 4-1 provides an overview of public

transport services convenient to the subject site.

4.3 Share Car

Share car parking spaces are provided by GoGet and Flexicar and are located in the vicinity of the subject

site as shown in Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4.

Car share services provide convenient access to a shared car on an as needs basis, reducing the need for

users or businesses that have an occasional need for a car to own their own car.

Users are issued with a smart card on sign up, with this card allowing access to the vehicle booked. Users

are able to pre book the vehicle online or by phone for collection at the designated pick-up point. When

finished, the vehicle is returned to the designated reserved space.

Most taxis are licensed to carry either 4 or 5 passengers, therefore small groups can share the taxi fare

which may cost less than individual trips if utilising other forms of public transport. High occupancy taxis are

also available to carry up to 11 passengers.

These services also reduce the reliance on private vehicle use by tenant workers and businesses.

5 Green Travel Plan

5.1 Objectives

A Green Travel Plan is an initiative to encourage travel mode behaviour change. Green Travel Plans are

used to promote and encourage people to choose sustainable transport options such as walking, cycling,

public transport and carpooling in preference to single occupant car trips whenever practicable.

The coordination, implementation and funding for the Green Travel Plan will be the responsibility of the

Building Manager. Acknowledging the location and accessibility of the subject development, this Green

Travel Plan seeks to minimise staff use of private vehicle transport through:

Providing convenient access to current and relevant public transport information to all staff;

Improved road safety and personal security for pedestrians and cyclists;

Maximising the efficient use of on-site bicycle parking; and

Providing a mechanism to review the efficiency of green travel initiatives and amend existing or

implement new initiatives as warranted.

5.2 Action Plan

A draft action plan is provided in Appendix C. The plan is an outline of the actions and incentives that will be adopted to encourage the use of sustainable transport modes.

5.3 Green Travel Initiatives

The site is ideally located to take advantage of the nearby public transport services, has good bicycle access

and is within walking distance of a significant range of amenities.

Sustainable transport information will be placed in the building’s foyer where it will be clearly visible to the

staff and visitors of the building. Detailed travel information will be supplied within GTP Welcome Packs,

which will be provided to staff and is to include the following regarding sustainable transport alternatives.

5.3.1 Public Transport

To encourage public transport use, information sourced from PTV will be provided through posters and

leaflets. The information provided will detail the scheduling / frequency of local services, the location of train

stations / tram stops and linkages to other networks. This information will be included within the Welcome

Pack.

5.3.2 Cycling

To promote and market the use of bicycles, a map of the extensive network of on and off-street bicycle paths

in the vicinity of the site will be provided within the Welcome Pack.

5.3.3 Walking

To highlight pedestrian accessibility in the vicinity of the site, an access plan will be prepared within the

Welcome Pack issued to staff showing pedestrian linkages in the vicinity of the site.

5.3.4 Car Share

To encourage the use of car share, a map of the current locations will be provided in the foyer of the

development, as well as information of how the system operates. Contact details for Flexicar and GoGet,

including their website addresses, will also be provided.

5.3.5 Sustainable Transport Information Displays

Copies of all sustainable transport information and maps/timetables included within the Green Travel

Welcome Information pack will be made available in the building lobby and accessible to all staff and visitors

to the building.

3 April 2017 Cardno 13

5.3.6 On-Site Bicycle Parking

To ensure the most efficient use of the on-site bicycle parking for staff and visitors, the allocation and

management of all on-site bicycle parking will be coordinated through the Building Manager and will:

Ensure the equitable allocation of staff and visitor bicycle parking to ensure the maximum use and

distribution of this parking;

Review the use and allocation of staff and visitor bicycle parking on an annual basis to ensure that on-site

bicycle parking is used efficiently; and

Ensure that the visitor bicycle parking areas at ground level are maintained and available for visitors to

the building at all times.

5.3.7 Other Initiatives

Other Green Travel initiatives that could be implemented are listed as follows:

Support the creation of the building staff bicycle user group;

Implement a staff car sharing database;

Provide an assisted sign-up service for available car share and bicycle share schemes;

Provide and maintain a basic bicycle repair kit for staff use;

Provide information of nearby bicycle service centres; and

Implement and maintain a loan-umbrella service for staff.

These initiatives are not a prescriptive or exhaustive list, and implementation would be subject to the

outcomes of the Green Travel Plan monitoring and review process and with the agreement and consensus

of the Building Manager. Where practical to do so, such initiatives should be implemented and/or advertised

through the Building Manager.

6 Implementation

6.1 Staff Green Travel Welcome Information

All new permanent staff of the building will be provided with a welcome information pack that outlines the

development’s green and sustainable transport initiatives.

This welcome information will be prepared, maintained and distributed by the Building Manager and may be

delivered as a hard copy or electronically (via email or equivalent). Welcome information will include:

General information on the arrangement and management of car parking and bicycle parking on-site and

details of the relevant contact;

Advice on how to access public transport timetables and real time travel information through the building’s

intranet web page OR hard copies of train and tram timetables for routes within approximately a 5 minute

walk from the site;

Advice on how to access public transport / cycling / walking maps and a map of key destinations (that

identifies distances and estimated walking times and should include key services, nearby public transport

stops and share care locations) through the building’s intranet web page OR hard copies of these maps;

Information on other sustainable transport information available through the building’s intranet web page

OR a hard copy pamphlet providing equivalent contact details.

A redeemable offer of a Myki Pass to the value of one week along with registration information and details

of the closest Myki top-up point; and

Information on other Green Travel initiatives that may be implemented by the Building Manager.

The ongoing implementation of the Green Travel Plan will be the responsibility of the Building Manager.

This includes a minimum annual review of all information provided within welcome information packs,

accessible via the building’s relevant online web page and displayed within the building lobbies to ensure

that information is relevant and current.

The management of bicycle parking and implementation of other sustainable transport initiatives would be

managed as part of the role of the Building Manager.

6.2 Development Intranet Site

An intranet site for the building will be established and maintained by the Building Manager, which will

include the following information for employees:

Maps of surrounding bicycle facilities and routes;

Public transport maps and timetables;

Booking service for share bicycles and the share car;

Maps of surrounding services with suitable non-car based transport options (i.e. bike and walking routes,

public transport options etc.); and

Links to relevant Green Travel, public transport and local services websites.

6.3 Green Travel Initiatives Monitoring and Review

In order to monitor the success of existing green travel initiatives and to inform the implementation of any

new initiatives, a staged staff questionnaire system regarding travel habits will be implemented by the

Building Manager.

Questionnaires would be implemented on-line through and accessible through the online management

system.

This system should generally follow the example questionnaires provided in Appendix B as explained in the

following below.

General

• The Metropolitan Planning Levy (MPL) is imposed for the privilege

of making a leviable planning permit application.

• A leviable planning permit application is an application made to a

responsible authority or planning authority under sections 47 and

96A of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (PEA) for a permit

required for the development of land in metropolitan Melbourne,

where the estimated cost of the development for which the permit

is required exceeds the threshold amount (see MPL threshold

amount).

• As a statutory requirement of making a leviable planning permit

application, the applicant must give the responsible authority or

planning authority a current MPL Certificate. The estimated cost of

development stated in the MPL Certificate must be equal to or

greater than the estimated cost of the development stated in the

leviable planning permit application. If an applicant fails to comply

with this requirement, the application for the leviable planning

permit is void.

• The applicant for the leviable planning permit application is liable for the

MPL.

• The Commissioner of State Revenue (Commissioner) has the general

administration of the MPL.

MPL threshold amount

• The threshold amount is $1 million for the 2015-2016 financial year.

• For the financial year beginning on 1 July 2016 and each subsequent

financial year, the Consumer Price Indexed (CPI) adjusted threshold

amount will be calculated in accordance with section 96R of the PEA.

• On or before 31 May each year, the Commissioner must publish the

CPI adjusted threshold amount for the following financial year on the

SRO website.

How MPL is calculated

• The amount of MPL is $1.30 for every $1000 of the estimated cost of

the development for which the leviable planning permit is required.

• If the estimated cost of the development for which the leviable

planning permit is required is not a multiple of $1000, the estimated

cost is to be rounded up or down to the nearest $1000 (and, if the

amount by which it is to be rounded is $500, it is to be rounded up).

Notification and Payment of MPL to the Commissioner

• Before making a leviable planning permit application, the applicant

must submit a completed Application for Metropolitan Planning Levy

(MPL) Certificate and pay the whole MPL amount to the

Commissioner. This Application must state the estimated cost of the

development and any other information required by the

Commissioner.

• If, after the Commissioner has issued a MPL Certificate which has

not expired (see MPL Certificate), and the estimated cost of the

development increases before the leviable planning permit

application is made, the applicant must submit an Application for

Metropolitan Planning Levy (MPL) Certificate (Revised) and pay the

whole additional MPL amount to the Commissioner. This revised

Application must state the increased estimated cost of the

development and any other information required by the

Commissioner.

MPL Certificate

• The Commissioner must issue a MPL Certificate if he is

satisfied that the whole amount of the MPL has been paid

in respect of the estimated cost of the development.

• Subject to section 96U(3) of the PEA, a MPL Certificate

expires 90 days after the day on which it is issued.

Revised MPL Certificate

• The Commissioner must issue a revised MPL Certificate if:

• the Commissioner has issued a MPL Certificate, which

has not expired;

• the estimated cost of the development increases before

the application for a leviable planning permit is made;

and

• he is satisfied that the whole amount of the MPL has

been paid in respect of the increased estimated cost of

the development.

• The Commissioner may also issue a revised MPL Certificate to:

• Correct any error in the information listed in the MPL

Certificate (except the estimated cost of development as

explained below), or

• the estimated cost of the development stated in the MPL

Certificate is different from the estimated cost of the

development stated in the Application for Metropolitan

Planning Levy (MPL) Certificate lodged by the applicant.

• A revised MPL Certificate expires 90 days after the day on which it

is issued.

Refund of MPL

• The only circumstance under which a person who has paid a

MPL is entitled to a refund is where there has been a

mathematical error in calculating the amount of the MPL by

reference to the estimated cost of the development stated in the

original or revised Application for Metropolitan Planning Levy

(MPL) Certificate. Other than that, a person who has paid a MPL

is not entitled to a refund of the whole or any part of the MPL.
