Transport Code

Overall Outcome                                                                  Response
The Overall Outcomes of the Transport Code are:
2a). The transport network facilitates and encourages an overall modal shift 2a - Complies
away from private car use towards more sustainable transport.                    The development promotes a shift away from private car use by capitalising on the
                                                                                 site's proximity to Hastings Street and excellent public transport links, including bus
                                                                                 routes 620, 626, 627, and 629, which run frequently.
2b) Development improves the coordination between transport and land use. 2b - Complies
                                                                                 The development aligns with the coordination of transport and land use by
                                                                                 encouraging walking and public transport usage, given its location within walking
                                                                                 distance to key amenities and transport routes.
2c). Development minimises the environmental and social impacts of transport 2c - Complies
on the natural and urban environment.                                            By reducing reliance on private vehicles through the promotion of public transport and
                                                                                 walking, the development minimises the environmental and social impacts of transport
                                                                                 on the surrounding area.
2d). Development contributes to improving walking, cycling, bus, train and ferry 2d - Complies
modes and the use of motor cycles and motor scooters to minimise the use of The development contributes to enhancing alternative transport modes, with
the private car.                                                                 convenient access to frequent bus services and walkability to nearby amenities, thereby
                                                                                 minimising private car use.
2e). Development provides a road hierarchy that supports effective bus route 2e - Not Applicable
connectivity.                                                                    The development does not involve changes to the road hierarchy or bus route
                                                                                 connectivity.
2f). Development does not adversely impact on the role of the major road 2f - Complies
network, particularly the Highway, in the efficient movement of freight through The development does not adversely impact the major road network, including the
the Shire.                                                                       efficient movement of freight through the Shire, as it does not generate additional
                                                                                 demand or introduce new conflict points on these roads.
2g). Development does not increase the scale of the road network beyond that 2g - Complies
currently planned.                                                               The development does not propose any increase in the scale of the road network
                                                                                 beyond what is currently planned.
2h). Development provides for safe access to existing or future public passenger 2h - Complies
transport facilities.                                                            The development provides safe access to existing public passenger transport facilities,
                                                                                 with nearby bus stops offering frequent services.
2i). Development ensures that vehicle access does not compromise the capacity 2i - Complies
and safety of the road system.                                                   The vehicle access provided by the development does not compromise the capacity or
                                                                                 safety of the existing road system, utilising an existing access point that is already
                                                                                 functioning effectively.
2j). Development provides appropriate noise attenuation buffering between 2j - Complies
sensitive uses and arterial roads or rail corridors.
