SARA RFI - Traffic Engineering Report

5           Site Access Arrangements
5.1         Introduction
Access to the development car park is proposed to be provided via the existing Banksia Avenue / Grant
Street roundabout. The site access will form a fourth leg to the roundabout. A secondary access, for service
vehicles only is provided via Serenity Close.

Access to the service vehicle facility is provided via a standard driveway off the cul-de-ac at the end of
Serenity Close. The design of each driveway is described as follows.

5.2         Access 1 – Site Access via Banksia Avenue
The access on Banksia Avenue is located on the southern side of the site frontage, and will form a fourth leg
to the existing Banksia Avenue/Grant Street roundabout. This access will allow for both entry and exit
movements for all light vehicles accessing the internal car parking areas.

The largest vehicle expected to access the site from this driveway is a minibus, which is capable of circulating
in / out of the site via the port cochere.

It is envisaged that appropriate signage will be installed adjacent to the driveway to ensure larger vehicles do
not enter via this driveway. Service vehicles will be directed to the driveway at the end of Serenity Close.

As mentioned previously, coaches will not be required to service the proposed development.

 A concept roundabout design has been prepared, as shown in TTM Drawing 22BRT0022-03, Revision A,
included in Appendix C, which demonstrates the access integration with the existing roundabout
configuration, and includes swept paths to ensure vehicles departing the site can turn left into Banksia
Avenue.

The gradients on the driveway and access ramp have been designed in accordance with IPWEAQ RS-051 and
Australian Standard AS2890.1:2004 Parking Facilities Part 1 Off-street car parking. The grade transitions have
also been checked with appropriate ground clearance templates, with longitudinal grades shownattached
plan.

Noting that the detailed design of the proposed upgrades to the Grant Street/ banksia Avenue roundabout
are yet to be finalised; grade transitions maybe further refined in detailed design.

A summary of the Australian Standard AS2890.1:2004 Parking Facilities Part 1 Off-street car parking design
provisions, the proposed provisions and deemed compliance for this access is shown in Table 5-1.
