The existing regular bus stop was constructed in 2011. The latest standards for bus stop design were
released from the Department of Transport and Main Roads in 2015 entitled ‘Public Transport
Infrastructure Manual (PTIM)’. TTM have reviewed the existing bus stop design and it is generally
consistent with a regular bus stop design with mid/front path in the PTIM. As such there is considered
to be no requirement for significant changes to the existing bus stop design, beyond its relocation as
identified in Attachment 1 (16BRT0070-1C).

The plans in Attachment 1 (16BRT0070-1C) show the design and widths of the proposed driveway
crossovers. TTM were unable to gain access to Council’s standard drawings as per Probable Solution
S2.1 and S2.2. It is understood, however, that Council’s standard drawings are based on IPWEAQ
standard drawings. The proposed access design is consistent with a Type B driveway crossover in the
IPWEAQ RS-0051 standard drawing. The proposal is therefore considered to be compliant with Specific
Outcome O2.

TTM understand that the access and ground level parking grades will be no more than 1:20 (1:40 at
the PWD bays) which complies with AS/NZS2890.1 requirements. The access grades are therefore
considered suitable.


9. Plans demonstrating manoeuvring of the design refuse vehicle, suitable for the bins proposed,
    including the path of the vehicle turning into the site from Goodchap Street, manoeuvring to the
    collection location, and then departing back onto Goodchap Street. The plan should also
    demonstrate sufficient standard clearances between the vehicle and other elements of the layout
    and use the appropriate refuse vehicle as identified in PSP9.

Response:
Refer attached Traffic Response prepared by TTM. The TTM report indicates:

PSP9 identifies design parameters of a front and rear loading waste collection vehicle (WCV), however,
does not identify the design vehicle for a rear loading WCV, which is the proposed design vehicle for
the subject site. TTM have chosen to use a 10.3m long rear loading WCV, which is based on design
parameters of rear loading WCV in other Council areas. This design WCV is 0.4m longer than either of
Council’s nominated WCV’s and is therefore considered a suitable design WCV.

Swept paths of this vehicle accessing the site, loading and exiting the subject site is shown in
Attachment 4 (16BRT0070- 2C). Standard clearances to obstructions are shown (300mm for a rigid
truck moving at a low speed). Attachment 4 (16BRT0070-2C) also shows that a loading WCV can stand
clear of the vehicle movements at the access. The proposed waste collection arrangements are
therefore considered suitable.


10. Provide additional detail demonstrating the following:
    (a) Confirmation that the passing widths on the bends and corners of the carparking aisles and
        ramp are in accordance with AS/NZS2890.1:2004 (parts 2.5.2 (b) and (c)).
    (b) The parking bay dimensions are shown to the centre of the columns. The width of the columns
        needs to be clarified to demonstrate that the spaces are in accordance with
        AS/NZS2890.1:2004.
    (c) The plans indicate columns adjacent to the PWD spaces at the ground floor. The width of the
        columns needs to be clarified to demonstrate the spaces are in accordance with
        AS/NZS2890.6.
    (d) The plan text and traffic report suggest that an ambulance space, an MRV space and a WCV
        space are provided. Only the WCV loading area adjacent to the refuse collection area is shown.
    (e) Provide additional detail on how wrong-way movements along the one-way section of
        roadway between the two driveways will be prevented, both by vehicles departing the right
        angle spaces on that one way section, and by vehicles departing from the basement.
    (f) Provision of visitor bicycle parking at the ground level in accordance with the requirements of
        the Austroads guidelines, in a position near the main pedestrian entry of the building at
        ground level.
