Traffic Impact Assessment

3 Proposed Development
The proposed aged care facility will comprise of two precincts
Precinct 1: Located on the northern side of Grasstree Court
~ 96 single bedrooms (units) in a residential aged care (RAC) facility
— Two (2) single bedrooms (units) in respite care as part of the RAC.
Precinct 2: Located on the southern side of Grasstree Court
- 55 independent fiving units (ILUs) in villa style accommodation
— 54 independent living units in four (4) apartment buildings
~ 20 serviced apartments and a central facilities building

Please refer to the full set of drawings prepared by Smith & Tracey Architects which
accompanies the development application. The foltowing sections discuss the key traffic
elements and principles of the design. Further refinement of the design will take place
during operational works (e.g. based on detailed swept path, sightlines, drainage etc)

3.1 Proposed Access Arrangements

All access to the development is via Grasstree Court.

Three (3) crossovers are proposed to provide access to the residential aged car facility
located on the northern side of Grasstree Court:

— the eastern most crossover provides access to 13 parking spaces and also provides
access to the service yard (refuse collection and deliveries);

— the central crossover provides access to approximately 21 visitor spaces and includes
a porte-cocher and 1 emergency vehicle space; and

— the western crossover provides direct access to 41 spaces to be designated for use
by staff.

Two (2) crossovers are proposed to provide access to the independent living units and
apartments on the southem side of Grasstree Court:

- _ the eastern crossover will be the principal entrance providing access to the Centra!
Facilities Building and Independent Living Units;

- the western access will provide access to the apartment buildings and serviced
apartments.

The proposed development will effectively result in the full build out of land surrounding
Grasstree Court. Grasstree Court is a cul-de-sac and does not service through traffic. The
only vehicles that will use Grasstree Court will be associated with Blue Care or the existing
Church. For this reason it is not unreasonable to propose multiple access points to
Grasstree Court.
