Roads and pathways are planned and designed to support the function of the road hierarchy and ensure           Road planning and
that—                                                                                                          design is in accordance
                                                                                                               with Council’s Planning
                                                                                                               Scheme Policy
         1.   design and alignment of roads, intersections and all associated works—                            PSP6 Engineering
                                                                                                               Design Standards –
                        1. convey the primary function of each type of street;                                 Roads, drainage and
                        2. provide a safe environment for all users;                                           earthworks.
                        3. are adequate for the design speed environment;
                        4. are adequate for predicted traffic volumes;
                        5. maintains the safe and efficient functioning of the road network incorporating
                           roundabouts as a preference to T intersections;
                       6. are compatible with existing infrastructure;
                       7. are easily maintained by Council equipment; and
                       8. where appropriate, have the ability to accommodate public transport services;
         2.   road pavement surfaces—

                        1. are durable enough to carry estimated wheel loads of travelling and parked
                           vehicles;
                        2. provide for the safe passage of vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and discharge of
                           stormwater run-off from contributing catchments and the preservation of all-
                           weather access;
         3.   kerb and channel—

                        1.  controls vehicle movement by delineating the carriageway for all users;
                        2.  conveys road pavement run-off to stormwater drainage in a manner that allows
                            the road to be trafficable in 1%AEP local rainfall events; and
         4.   verges and footpaths provide—

                        1.   safe access for pedestrians and cyclists clear of obstructions;
                        2.   an access area for vehicles onto properties;
                        3.   a corridor allocated for services and utilities; and
                        4.   additional amenity for minor roads.
