INTRODUCTION

O’Brien Traffic has been engaged by Bunnings Group Limited to undertake a traffic

impact assessment of a proposed Bunnings Warehouse at 140-150 McKenzie Street &

8-10 Keltie Avenue, Wonthaggi. The proposed Bunnings Warehouse will replace the

existing Bunnings Store that is located at 45-61 McKenzie Street, Wonthaggi.

In the course of preparing this report:

Plans and relevant documentation have been examined;

The subject site and surrounding area have been inspected on a number of

occasions;

Data from other Bunnings Warehouses has been collected and analysed;

A number of discussions have been held with Bass Coast Shire Council and DoT

(previously VicRoads) in relation to site access and changes to the road network;

and

The traffic and parking implications of the proposal have been assessed.

2 EXISTING CONDITIONS

The subject site is located on the south east corner of the intersection of White Road

and McKenzie Street, Wonthaggi (Figure 1). A recent aerial photograph of the site and

surrounding area is shown in Figure 2, and a detailed aerial photo of the subject site is

shown in Figure 3.

The site, which is zoned Industrial 1 Zone (Figure 4), is irregular in shape. It has a

frontage of approximately 130 metres to McKenzie Street, and also has frontage to

White Road and Keltie Avenue. The total site area is approximately 21,700 square

metres.

The site is currently occupied by the Capital Entertainment & Motel and the Miners

Rest Caravan Park. Vehicle access to these existing businesses is provided via

McKenzie Street, White Road and Keltie Avenue.

FIGURE 4: ZONING MAP

The surrounding land use is mixed in nature, including residential, industrial,

commercial, and recreational, as the surrounding zonings would suggest (Figure 4).

There is an existing bus stop located along the site frontage as shown in Figures 5 to 7

that will need to be relocated as it will be impacted by the proposed left turn lane into

the delivery vehicle access (which is discussed later in this report).

Discussions will be held with TfV / PTV / DoT in relation to selecting an alternative

location for the bus stop.

It is noted that in January 2019 TfV / PTV approved a new location for this bus stop to

the south of its current location in relation to a previously approved development

proposal for the site (Planning Permit Application 170058-1).

McKenzie Street (Bass Highway) is an arterial road and a Road Zone Category 1, under

the control of DoT. A view of McKenzie Street facing south is shown in Figure 8. It

provides one travel lane in each direction. As mentioned in Section 2.3, a bus stop is

located along the site frontage, and discussions will be held with TfV / PTV / DoT in

relation to its relocation.

The intersection of White Road and McKenzie Street is currently an unsignalised T-

intersection as shown in Figure 11.

FIGURE 11: INTERSECTION OF WHITE ROAD AND MCKENZIE STREET

3 THE PROPOSAL

The proposed Bunnings Warehouse will replace the existing Bunnings Store located at

45-61 McKenzie Street, Wonthaggi.

It is proposed to demolish the existing buildings on the site and construct a Bunnings

Warehouse with a total of approximately 9,200 sqm of retail floor area, comprising an

entry and main warehouse area of approximately 4,467 sqm, an outdoor nursery area

of approximately 770 sqm, a bagged goods canopy (ancillary to the outdoor nursery) of

approximately 1,060 sqm, a timber trade sales area of approximately 1,885 sqm, and a

building materials and landscape yard of approximately 1,030 sqm.

A total of 223 car parking spaces are proposed, including 8 accessible car spaces, and

8 trailer bays.

As shown in Figure 12, vehicular access is proposed via McKenzie Street (left-in and

left-out access for customers, and a separate left-in access for delivery vehicles –

refer Appendix A), White Road (all movements), and Keltie Avenue (staff entry and exit

movements related to a 22 space staff car park, and delivery vehicle exit movements).

FIGURE 12: BUNNINGS SITE PLAN

As part of the development it is proposed that the intersection of McKenzie Street and

White Road will be upgraded with a roundabout as shown in Figure 13.

It is noted that, as outlined later in this report, the intersection of McKenzie Street and

White Road will reach capacity and require upgrading within a short timeframe even

without the Bunnings development occurring on the subject site, and it is therefore

considered appropriate that a cost sharing arrangement between Bunnings, Council

and DoT be developed to cover the cost of the intersection upgrade.

The proposed intersection design is discussed in more detail in Section 5 and Section 9

of this report.

4 CAR PARKING

Parking policy and requirements applicable to the proposed development are specified

in Clause 52.06 of the Planning Scheme.

The purpose of Clause 52.06 is:

To ensure that car parking is provided in accordance with the Municipal Planning

Strategy and the 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 adversely 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.

The Table at Clause 52.06 provides parking rates for a range of uses. While the use of

a Bunnings Warehouse is predominantly ‘Trade Supplies’, there is also a component of

Restricted Retail type products. It has been estimated that a Bunnings Warehouse will

have no more than 25% of its floor space stocking restricted retail type products.

The Table at Clause 52.06 specifies that parking is to be provided for Trade Supplies at

a rate of 10% of the site area, and for Restricted Retail at a rate of 3 spaces per 100

sqm of leasable floor area.

Conservatively applying the Trade Supplies parking rate to the whole site area of

approximately 21,700 sqm means that parking is to be provided on 10%, or 2,170 sqm.

Assuming that each car space plus a portion of the adjoining accessway totals 26 sqm,

this results in a requirement for 83 car parking spaces. Applying the Restricted Retail

rate of 3 spaces per 100 sqm to 25% of the retail floor area (noting that 9,200 x 25% =

2,300) gives a requirement for 69 parking spaces. Therefore, the total parking

requirement under Clause 52.06 is for 152 parking spaces.

Given that 152 parking spaces are required by the Planning Scheme, and 223 parking

spaces are proposed, the Planning Scheme car parking requirement is exceeded by 71

spaces.

It is considered that all staff and customer parking will be accommodated on the site.


11

According to the Planning Scheme, accessible parking requirements are required to be

assessed under the Building Code of Australia (BCA). Under Section A3.2 of the BCA a

Bunnings Warehouse would be categorised as a Class 6 building, which, under Table

D3.5, requires 1 disabled parking space for every 50 parking spaces or part thereof. As

223 parking spaces are proposed, there is therefore a requirement for 5 accessible

parking spaces.

The provision of 8 accessible parking spaces exceeds the requirements of the BCA, and

therefore also the requirements of the Planning Scheme.

5 INTERSECTION OF MCKENZIE STREET AND WHITE ROAD

To determine the amount of Bunnings generated traffic likely to use the intersection of

McKenzie Street and White Road, and therefore the necessary design of the intersection,

information about the postcodes of customers of the existing Bunnings Wonthaggi were

provided to O’Brien Traffic for analysis. It was assumed that these customers would also

be visiting the proposed new Bunnings Wonthaggi (noting that the existing store will be

replaced by the new store).

Each of these postcodes was then allocated to a travel route based on the road network

in the area. Additionally, given that further residential development is anticipated in

Wonthaggi North (and also noting that there may be additional connections to the road

network constructed which will provide an additional access to and from this area), a

further allowance of 10% was made for future customers from the north using White

Road (over the 10 year assessment period). In summary, the assessment concluded that

30% of trips to the new site would be to and from the north-west (McKenzie Street), 10%

would use White Road, and 60% would be to and from the south (McKenzie Street). This

distribution has been accepted by Council and DoT.

A range of treatment options were considered for the intersection of McKenzie Street

and White Road, including: no change to existing layout, installation of traffic signals,

and construction of a roundabout. These various options formed the basis of a number

of discussions with Council and DoT.

As the majority of Bunnings customers would be travelling to and from the south along

McKenzie Street, it was initially proposed to provide a right turn lane to provide for

right turn movements directly from McKenzie Street into the Bunnings site, with the

existing, unsignalised, intersection design of McKenzie Street and White Road being

retained. This access arrangement maximised convenience and met the likely

expectations of Bunnings customers (i.e. right turn directly into the site). However,

this proposed right turn treatment impacted the access to existing residential

properties on the west side of McKenzie Street, and the right turn lane option was not

supported by DoT or Council.

The signalised option also causes issues for access to the residential properties on the

west side of McKenzie Street due to the long right turn lane that would be required for

vehicles turning from McKenzie Street into White Road. Also, all northbound vehicles

wishing to access Bunnings would have to turn right into White Road and use the


12

White Road access. Traffic modelling using the SIDRA computer program, as

discussed later in this report, showed that the signalised option results in greater

delays to all traffic through the intersection when compared to the roundabout option.

The roundabout option does not impact access to the residential properties on the east

side of McKenzie Street, and SIDRA assessment, as discussed later in this report, shows

that the roundabout option results in lower delays to traffic using the intersection.

Additionally, the roundabout allows northbound vehicles on McKenzie Street to easily U-

turn at the roundabout to then turn left into the Bunnings site using the McKenzie Street

access.

In light of the above, it was concluded that a roundabout at the intersection, as shown in

Figure 14, would be the most appropriate treatment of the intersection. Further details

about the future operation of the proposed roundabout are included in Section 9.

FIGURE 14: PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT INTERSECTION OF MCKENZIE STREET AND WHITE ROAD

6 CAR PARK ACCESS & LAYOUT

This section of the report discusses staff and customer access in relation to the

proposed on-site car parking areas.

Delivery vehicle access is considered separately in Section 8 of this report.

It is proposed that the customer car park will be accessed via a left-in, left-out access


13

to McKenzie Street (located close to the northern boundary of the site), and an all-

movement access to White Road. A staff car park will be accessed via Keltie Avenue.

The McKenzie Street left-in, left-out customer access (Figure 15 and Appendix A) has

been located to ensure that entering traffic is not directed into the car park aisle

closest to the Bunnings Warehouse (as the aisle closest to the building experiences the

highest pedestrian volumes and it is preferred to keep vehicles away from this

location).

It is noted that the proposal ensures that existing access to the residential properties

on the west side of McKenzie Street will be retained.

FIGURE 15: MCKENZIE STREET ACCESSES

It is important to note that there is an approved subdivision plan for the site (Figure 16)

that allows right turns out of the site to McKenzie Street. This is appropriate for the

service station/convenience restaurant that was previously approved for the site,

particularly as there is no connection to White Road for that site, however DoT has

made it clear that it will not approve a right turn in or out of the site via McKenzie

Street for customers of the proposed Bunnings Warehouse.

As no right turns into or out of the site via McKenzie Street are to be provided for

customers, Bunnings customers wishing to enter the site from the south would U-turn

at the proposed roundabout at the intersection of White Road/McKenzie Street, and

then turn left into the site using the McKenzie Street access. Exiting customers

wishing to depart to the north would use the White Road access and then turn right at

the roundabout to re-enter McKenzie Street.

Entering customers from the north, and exiting customers wishing to depart to the

south would use the McKenzie Street left-in, left-out access point.


14

FIGURE 16: CURRENTLY APPROVED SUBDIVISION PLAN FOR THE SITE

The White Road access (Figure 17) has been located to provide convenient all-way

customer entry and exit for those customers approaching or leaving the site along

White Road.


15

FIGURE 17: PROPOSED WHITE ROAD ACCESS

The dimensions of all on-site car parking spaces and access aisles meet or exceed the

requirements of the Planning Scheme.

The site layout in relation to delivery vehicle access/egress is discussed in Section 8.

The layout of the car park provides for convenient access/egress and safe circulation

for customer and staff vehicles.

7 BICYCLE PARKING

Bicycle parking policy and requirements applicable to the development are specified in

Clause 52.34 of the Planning Scheme. The purpose of Clause 52.34 is:

To encourage cycling as a mode of transport; and

To provide secure, accessible and convenient bicycle parking spaces and

associated shower and change facilities.


16

The table at Clause 52.34-3 of the Planning Scheme sets out bicycle parking

requirement rates for various land uses. However, as with the car parking assessment

provided earlier in this report, the proposed development does not fall neatly under

any of the categories provided.

An assessment under the ‘trade supplies’ category which is nested under the ‘retail

premises group’ in the Planning Scheme requires staff bicycle parking to be provided at

a rate of 1 space per 300 sqm of leasable floor area and customer bicycle parking to be

provided at a rate of 1 space per 500 sqm of leasable floor area. Application of these

rates to the 9,200 sqm of retail floor area equates to a requirement of 31 staff spaces

and 18 customer spaces.

This is considered to be an excessive requirement for bicycle parking particularly given

that many of the goods sold at a Bunnings Warehouse (including almost all items

available from the nursery area, bagged goods area and timber trade area) are too

large to be conveniently transported by bicycle.

Clause 52.34-2 specifies that a permit may be granted to vary, reduce or waive any

requirement in relation to bicycle parking and details a number of decision guidelines

that the responsible authority must consider (as appropriate) before deciding on an

application, including “whether the proposed number, location and design of bicycle

facilities meets the purpose of this clause”, and “the users of the land and their

opportunities for bicycle travel”.

It is considered that, based on the operation of other Bunnings Warehouses, the

provision of 10 bicycle hoops, located in a convenient location, will be sufficient to

cater for all bicycle parking demand associated with the development. A shower and

change facilities will be provided in the office area for staff use.

8 LOADING

Clause 52.07 – Loading, has recently been removed from the Planning Scheme. Clause

65.01 of the Planning Scheme states that before deciding on an application, the

responsible authority must consider the adequacy of loading and unloading facilities

and any associated amenity, traffic flow and road safety impacts.

The site has been designed to accommodate vehicles up to semi-trailer size, although

experience at other Bunnings Warehouses (including the existing Bunnings Wonthaggi)

suggests that the majority of delivery vehicles will be smaller, rigid, trucks.

Delivery vehicle data was collected at the existing Bunnings Wonthaggi from 16th to

22nd January 2020. A tube counter was located at the exit from the loading area. This

count recorded a total of 114 vehicles across the week, with 5 recorded on the

weekend, and 109 on weekdays. Between 15 and 35 vehicles were recorded exiting

the delivery area each weekday. Importantly, almost 45% of these vehicles were

categorised as light vehicles (cars, vans or utilities). A further 51% (i.e. 58 vehicles


17

across the 5 weekdays) were categorised as rigid trucks and the remaining 4% (i.e. 5

vehicles across the 5 weekdays) were semi-trailers.

Surveys undertaken by O’Brien Traffic at other regional Bunnings stores at Bendigo

(Kangaroo Flat) and Wangaratta showed that at Bendigo a total of 78 delivery vehicles

were recorded across a week, all on weekdays, with between 12 and 18 recorded each

week day. Of the 78 delivery vehicles recorded, 57 were rigid trucks, 5 were smaller

vans, 1 was a utility, and 15 were semi-trailers. At the Wangaratta Bunnings store a

total of 79 deliveries were recorded across a week, also all on weekdays. Of these 79

vehicles, 68 were rigid trucks, 4 were vans, 2 were utilities, and 5 were semi-trailers.

It is anticipated that delivery vehicle numbers at the proposed new Wonthaggi

Bunnings will be similar to those recorded at other Bunnings regional stores, with

mainly rigid trucks and with very low numbers of semi-trailers.

Delivery vehicle access will be by left turn from McKenzie Street, where a left turn

deceleration lane is provided (Figure 18). Delivery vehicles will then travel through the

site, unload in the loading area provided (Figure 19), and exit to Keltie Avenue

(Figure 20). Delivery vehicles will then proceed along Keltie Avenue before turning left

into White Road (Figure 21) and returning to the McKenzie Street / White Road

intersection (Figure 22). Plans to scale are included in Appendix D.

In relation to the proposed route of delivery vehicles through the site (i.e. enter from

McKenzie Street and exit to White Road), it is important to note that it is not possible

to have delivery vehicles turning around on the site (i.e. to enter and exit via the same

access point) given the area required to U-turn large vehicles. In this case it is

considered preferable to have delivery vehicles entering the site by left turn from

McKenzie Street and then exiting by left turn to White Road. The alternative (i.e.

entering via a right turn from White Road and exiting by a right turn to McKenzie

Street) would result in additional delays to through traffic on both White Road and

McKenzie Street. It is also considered preferable to have delivery vehicles operating

on the south side of White Road, which is the side opposite the residential

development and kindergarten in the area.

The proposed delivery vehicle route is considered an appropriate response to the site

constraints, and it is expected that there will be no safety issues associated with these

delivery vehicles.

Waste collection will occur from within the loading area. Waste collection vehicles are

usually in the order of 8 to 10 metres in length. There will be no safety or operational

issues associated with the use of the site by waste collection vehicles.

While it is requested that no restriction be placed on delivery times, based on other

Bunnings Warehouses it is anticipated that almost all deliveries will take place between

6am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, with the bulk of deliveries occurring between 7am

and 3pm weekdays.

In conclusion, the proposed delivery vehicle access to the site, within the site, and

away from the site will provide for the convenient movement of trucks up to semi-

trailer size.

It is proposed that Keltie Avenue will be constructed with an industrial heavy duty

pavement 7 metres wide, with 1.5 metre gravel shoulders and open drainage to be

retained. This is considered appropriate for a dead end industrial road with very low

traffic volumes. The intersection of Keltie Avenue and White Road will also be

upgraded as part of the proposed works to cater for the movement of vehicles up to

semi-trailer size. The proposed changes to Keltie Avenue are shown in Figure 23.

FIGURE 23: KELTIE AVENUE / WHITE ROAD INTERSECTION UPGRADE


21

It is noted that a small number of trees will need to be removed to allow the Keltie

Avenue upgrade works to proceed. Three of these trees are noted in the submitted

Arborist report as ‘high value’ due to the trees being located on the road reserve

rather than on the subject site. However, these trees are noted to be only of ‘poor’ to

‘fair’ structure due to past lopping for power line clearance. These are the trees

identified as numbers 8, 9 and 10 in the Arborist report (extract provided in Figure 24).

9 TRAFFIC GENERATION, DISTRIBUTION & IMPACT

Customer numbers at the existing Bunnings Wonthaggi store were determined from

the number of trips recorded across a week in January 2020 (which is the highest peak

period). A 15% increase on these figures was then used to assess future conditions.

This assumption reflects Bunnings commercial expectation that existing customers will

transfer to the new store (as the existing store will be closed), and that the customer

base will grow as residential development in Wonthaggi and surrounding areas occurs.

The survey of existing trips (January 2020) recorded 531 trips in the Saturday peak

hour (11am – 12 noon) and 485 in the Friday peak hour (12noon – 1pm). It is noted that

Bunnings trip generation during the typical Friday afternoon on-road peak period is

significantly lower than the midday peak outlined above.

As mentioned earlier in this report, a detailed assessment of likely trip origins and

destinations was undertaken based on the postcodes of existing Bunnings customers

and the road network in the area (Figure 25), and concluded that 30% of trips to the

new site would be from the North West, 10% would utilise White Road, and 60% would

be from the South.

FIGURE 25: LOCATION OF SITE IN RELATION TO WONTHAGGI TOWN


23

Existing traffic volume data was collected on McKenzie Street and White Road, and at

the intersection of McKenzie Street and White Road, in October 2019 and again in

January 2020. The October data is considered to reflect typical traffic conditions that

apply for the majority of the year, while the January data is indicative of peak, holiday,

conditions that apply for a short time of year only.

The October 2019 and January 2020 traffic volume data is provided in Appendix B.

When assessing the traffic impact of a proposed new development (in this case a

Bunnings Warehouse), it is generally the impact 10 years post development that is

assessed rather than the impact immediately after opening. Therefore, the existing

traffic volume data that has been collected on McKenzie Street (i.e. Bass Highway), has

been increased by a percentage per year for 10 years to reflect the likely traffic

volumes 10 years post development. The traffic volumes on White Road have been

increased by a flat rate (10% over the 10 year analysis period) to allow for increased

development utilising White Road over time (noting that there is likely to be an

additional connection to the road network provided over this time period which will

provide a further access to this area). Then the traffic generated by the development

is added to estimate the total traffic volumes in the vicinity of the site. This reflects

the typical processes used by Traffic Engineers to predict future road network

performance.

In this case two different annual growth rates have been used in the assessment –

1.25% per annum, which reflects a low growth option, and 3% per annum, which

reflects a high growth option. The actual traffic growth over the next 10 years is likely

to be between these low growth and high growth values.

The operational performance of an intersection can be modelled using the SIDRA

software program. Inputs to SIDRA include traffic volumes and intersection design

details (i.e. length of lanes, design of roundabout etc), and the outputs of SIDRA

include the degree of saturation (DOS) for the intersection, which is a measure of how

much demand the intersection is experiencing compared to its total capacity. As the

degree of saturation gets closer to 1, the intersection will experience more congestion,

with queues forming on the approaches to the intersection. A DOS of less than 0.9 is

generally considered to indicate good operating conditions.

The SIDRA assessment in this case has been undertaken firstly for existing conditions,

based on both October 2019 and January 2020 traffic volume data, looking at the

Saturday midday performance, as this is the peak operational time for a Bunnings

store, and also a busy on-road time. The existing conditions data is summarised below

and the detailed SIDRA results are provided in Appendix C.

October 2019 traffic volumes:

DOS = 0.223

January 2020 traffic volumes:

DOS = 0.486

The reason that the January 2020 degree of saturation is higher than the October 2019

figure is the significantly higher traffic volume recorded in January than in October.


24

Both of these assessments indicate very low delays are currently being experienced,

even during the January peak period.

The data below summarises the results of four SIDRA assessments for 10 years post

development for Saturday midday using low growth and high growth traffic volume

factors based on October 2019 and January 2020 traffic volume data. The detailed

SIDRA results are provided in Appendix C.

October 2019 traffic volumes:

Low growth (1.25%) – DOS = 0.665

High growth (3%) – DOS = 0.740

January 2020 traffic volumes:

Low growth (1.25%) – DOS = 0.850

High growth (3%) – DOS = 0.947

The reason that the degrees of saturation are higher using the January 2020 traffic

volume data than the October 2019 data is that the January traffic volume data is

significantly higher than the October data, leading to longer delays for turning traffic.

The conclusion of the SIDRA assessment is that the intersection is expected to operate

with good conditions for more than 10 years post opening, even assuming a high

annual growth rate on top of the peak, January 2020, data. It is noted that for most of

the year the roundabout will operate with minimal delays given the lower traffic

volumes that apply outside of the summer holiday period. Further, it is not

unexpected that some delays would be experienced during the summer months in an

area that experiences high levels of tourist traffic.

It should be noted that the intersection analysis showed that even without a Bunnings

Warehouse being constructed on the subject site, the existing intersection would need

to be upgraded within 6 years if a 3% per annum growth rate was used on the data

collected in January 2020. It is therefore considered appropriate that a cost sharing

arrangement between Bunnings, Council and DoT be developed to cover the cost of

the intersection upgrade.

10 PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES

A new 2 metre wide footpath will be constructed along the McKenzie Street frontage of

the site, and a connection provided to the walkway along the front of the Bunnings

Warehouse. This new footpath will connect to the existing footpath that runs to the

north of the site between McKenzie Street and White Road, which then connects to an

existing footpath in White Road.

These facilities will provide for convenient access to and from the site by pedestrians.


25

11 BICYCLE FACILITIES

There are no changes proposed to the existing cross-sections of White Road or

McKenzie Street along the site frontages.

No changes to existing bicycle facilities are proposed as part of the Bunnings project.

12 RESPONSE TO RFI’S

Both DoT and Council issued Requests for Further Information (RFI’s) following the

submission of the planning permit application for the proposed Bunnings development

(submitted 12 December 2019). These RFI’s, which were issued on 14 January 2020

(DoT) and 23 January 2020 (Council), led to meetings and discussions between

Bunnings, O’Brien Traffic, Council and DoT that in turn led to major changes to the

access arrangements for the Bunnings development and also to the inclusion of a

roundabout at the intersection of McKenzie Street and White Road.

The majority of issues raised in the RFI’s have been covered earlier in this report. For

clarity, the issues raised will be listed and discussed below.

DoT RFI

In its RFI dated 14 January 2020 the DoT requested the following:

information about the relocation of the existing bus stop along the site frontage -

see Section 2.3;

additional traffic data and analysis based on January 2020 data - see Section 9 and

Appendix B;

SIDRA analysis including 10 year forecast - see Section 9 and Appendix C;

consideration of impacts to access points of residential properties along the Bass

Highway resulting from the proposed right turn lane from the Highway into the

Bunnings site – the site access has been redesigned following discussions with

Council and DoT and the right turn lane removed (and a roundabout proposed at

the intersection of McKenzie Street and White Road). There will now be no impact

on access to residential properties along the Bass Highway;

consideration of the impact of the proposal on cyclist travel along the Bass

Highway – the site access has been redesigned following discussions with Council

and DoT and there will be no impact on the ability of cyclists to travel along the

Bass Highway – see Section 11;

a new concept plan showing left-in, left-out movements only from the Bass

Highway, and including a roundabout option and traffic signal option at the

intersection of the Bass Highway and White Road. It is noted that traffic signals did

not provide a suitable intersection treatment and therefore a roundabout option

has been proposed – see Figure 10 and Appendix A;


26

a Road Safety Audit and Safe System Audit of the intersection concept designs

(traffic signals and roundabout) – as per above comment, a roundabout option has

been proposed. A Road Safety Audit and Safe System Audit would best be

provided in response to a permit condition, following public advertising of the

proposal.

Council RFI

In its RFI dated 23 January 2020 Council included the issues raised by DoT, which are

addressed above, and also requested the following traffic related information:

a revised traffic impact assessment report which addresses the following:

- B-double traffic – it is now proposed to limit the size of vehicles accessing the

site to semi-trailer size – see Section 8.2.

- The appropriateness of Keltie Avenue to cater for heavy vehicles – it is

proposed to construct Keltie Avenue to be suitable for heavy vehicles, and also

to make required changes to cater for semi-trailer movements at the

intersection of Keltie Avenue and White Road. A cross section has been

proposed that is appropriate for a dead-end industrial road that will experience

low traffic volumes – see Section 8.2.

- traffic distribution – this has been reconsidered based on additional data

collected at the existing Bunning Wonthaggi – see Section 9.

- traffic generation – this has been reconsidered based on additional data – see

Section 9.

- provide SIDRA assessment looking at 10 year forecast – see Section 9 and

Appendix C.

- additional traffic data from 2020 – see Section 9 and Appendix B.

- sensitivity/peak values – the SIDRA assessment is based on absolute peak

January 2020 traffic volume data, with a high growth rate of 3% per annum.

This is considered to be an extremely conservative assessment, and further

sensitivity analysis is considered unnecessary – see Section 9.

Amend plans to show:

- Keltie Avenue swept path for delivery vehicles – see Section 8.2 and Figure 23.

- impact of intersection upgrade on street trees at the intersection of Keltie

Avenue and White Road – see Section 8.2 and Figure 24.

- bicycle parking – 10 bicycle spaces are now provided in front of the nursery.

- indication that the island at the White Road can accommodate a bicycle rider –

this island was incorrectly shown on the plans and has been removed.

Council also asked for amended plans to be provided at A3 scale. Scale plans are

included in Appendix D that can be printed at the desired scale.

It is considered that all traffic related information requested by DoT and Council in

their RFI’s has now been provided in this amended traffic impact assessment report.

13 CONCLUSION

Based on the investigations made during this study, it is concluded that there are no

parking or traffic related grounds to prevent the proposed development of Bunnings

Wonthaggi proceeding.
