1. Executive Summary 1.1 Proposal Overview

This submission is prepared in support of a proposal for a change of use of the former Officeworks building at 44-48 Bathurst Street, Launceston to a Dan Murphy’s liquor store including new awnings and entry canopy, ancillary carparking and signage. The proposal includes access via a right-of-way and provision for 9 carparking spaces on adjacent land at 36-42 Bathurst Street, Launceston.

The owner of the subject land at 44-48 Bathurst Street, Launceston is OFFWORK LAUN PTY LTD. This application is made with the consent of the owners. The owner of the subject land at 36-42 Bathurst Street, Launceston is Launceston City Council. This application is made with the written consent of the General Manager of Launceston City Council, please refer to Appendix B to this submission. This application is made under Section 57 of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993, which provides for the submission of an application for a discretionary planning permit. The proposal has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 and the objectives of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993.

The proposal is summarised as:

Change of Use to Hotel Industry, ancillary carparking and signage, and is illustrated in plans, provided at Appendix C.

2. Subject Land and Locality 2.1 Subject Land Description

The subject site is comprised in Certificate of Title Volume 134121 Folio 1. The registered owner of the site is OFFWORK LAUN PTY LTD. A copy of the title is contained in Appendix A. The site has an area of 2822m2. A right-of-way benefits the site over CT 134121/3.

Access (entry) and 9 carparking spaces to serve the use are proposed over Certifcate of Title Volume 134121 Folio 3. The registered owner of this site is Launceston City Council. A copy of the title is also contained in Appendix A. The General Manager of Launceston City Council provided written information dated 1 September 2015 (a copy is contained in Appendix E to this submission) regarding the option to lease 9 car parking spaces situated on the northern wall of the subject building, between the building and the right-of-way.

44-48 Bathurst Street has road frontage to both Bathurst Street and York Street, Launceston. The former Officeworks building, carparking and one pylon sign is located on the subject site.

2.2 Locality Description

Figure 1: Locality Map

The subject site is located within Launceston central business area. The site is surrounded by a public carpark (Bathurst Street Carpark), business and retail premises and a number of residential premises.

2.3 Access and Movement

There is one existing vehicular access point to the land via a right-of-way over CT 134121/3. Typcially traffic will enter from Bathurst Street, however access is available via Brisbane Street and York Street (through the Council owned carpark). Previously this existing access point has been utilised for both entry and exit to the subject site and to the loading area. The proposal will see access only from the existing access point, with a new exit (in the location of an existing crossover) to York Street (right turn exit only). This will see one way traffic through the subject site.

2.4 Services

The subject site is located within the urban/commercial area of Launceston; it is provided with reticulated water, sewerage, stormwater, power and communications supplies.

2.5 Heritage

The subject site is not identified to be of heritage significance.

2.6 Flora and Fauna

The site is located within the urban/commercial area Launceston, and hence does not support any remnant native vegetation and hence, any habitat of threatened species. A search of the Natural Values Atlas has revealed no recorded species on the subject site.

3. Proposal 3.1 Development Proposal

The proposal is for the change of use of the former Officeworks building (approximately 1800 sqaure metre building) at 44-48 Bathurst Street, Launceston to a Liquor Store for Dan Murphy’s. This is to be the first Dan Murphy’s store to be located within Launceston and Tasmania. As well as the option to purchase instore, it is proposed that click&collect will be available at the new store. This allows online ordering with collection in-store only. Each of Dan Muprhy’s stores carries over 3,500 products including spirits and beers, wines and other liquor products.

The use is expected to employ 25 people at normal times, and operate between the hours of 9am to 9pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 7pm Sunday. A new entry canopy and awnings and plant equipment on the roof top are proposed. Approximately 1200 square metres of the building will be dedicated to main retail space. The ground floor level will include main retail space, retail coolroom, liquor storage and office. The mezzanine floor level will be utilised as existing offices, amenities and meeting rooms for staff only.

The existing bull-nose awning will be replaced on the Bathurst Street frontage including a new entry canopy (steel framed entry canopy) over the existing entry and bollards. New plant equipment will replace existing on the roof top, however this will result in less plant equipment overall than is current.

The existing precast concrete exterior walls will be painted new colours as per colours detailed within the signage schedule contained in Appendix F to this submission to meet Dan Murphy’s corporate colour scheme.

The emergency exit pedestrian door on the southern elevation will be relocated.

Signage will include new graphics upon the existing pylon sign located at the corner of the subject site adjacent to Bathurst and York Street. This sign will be illuminated (Sign J and K)

The northern elevation will see the installation of sign type A, B , C and D with external illumination lighting pelmet. The eastern elevation will see sign type B, E, F, G and H with external illumination lighting pelmut above sign type G and H. The southern elevation will see the installation of sign type B, C, D and I with external lighting pelmut. No signage except for external painting is proposed for the western elevation. It is also proposed to install two ‘entry’ signs at the Bathurst Street entry as well as a ‘no exit’ sign facing the carpark, and also to install at the York Street exit two proposed ‘exit’ signs and a ‘no left turn’ sign. Further details in relation to signage and dimensions are contained within Appendix F to this submission.

The existing carpark layout is to be retained, providing for 40 car parking spaces within the subject site (with 9 additional spaces at 36-42 Bathurst Street), a section of the existing carpark is to be regraded as shown within plans attached at Appendix C to this submission to provide for better efficiencies.

4.3 State Policies

4.3.1 State Coastal Policy 1996

The State Coastal Policy was created under the State Policies and Projects Act 1993. This Policy applies to the Coastal Zone, which is defined as the area within State waters and all areas within one kilometre of the coast.

Proposal Response

The subject site is not located within one kilometre from the coast.

4.3.2 State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997

This Policy applies to all surface waters, including coastal waters, and ground waters, other than:

i. Privately owned waters that are not accessible to the public and are not connected to, or flow directly into, waters that are accessible to the public; or

ii. Waters in any tank, pipe or cistern.

The purpose of the Policy is to achieve the sustainable management of Tasmania's surface water and groundwater resources by protecting or enhancing their qualities while allowing for sustainable development in accordance with the objectives of Tasmania's Resource Management and Planning System (Schedule 1 of the State Policies and Projects Act 1993).

The objectives of this Policy are to:

1. Focus water quality management on the achievement of water quality objectives which will maintain or enhance water quality and further the objectives of Tasmania's Resource Management and Planning System;

2. Ensure that diffuse source and point source pollution does not prejudice the achievement of water quality objectives and that pollutants discharged to waterways are reduced as far as is reasonable and practical by the use of best practice environmental management;

3. Ensure that efficient and effective water quality monitoring programs are carried out and that the responsibility for monitoring is shared by those who use and benefit from the resource, including polluters, who should bear an appropriate share of the costs arising from their activities, water resource managers and the community;

4. Facilitate and promote integrated catchment management through the achievement of objectives (1) to (3) above; and

5. Apply the precautionary principle to Part 4 of this Policy.

Proposal Response

The proposal involves continuation of collection and discharge of stormwater via Council’s stormwater collection network. The objectives of this Policy will therefore be managed in this urban environment.

The proposal is consistent with the policy.

4.3.3 State Policy on Protection of Agricultural Land 2009

The subject site is within the urban/commercial area of Launceston and therefore is not considered to have any agricultural value.

4.4 Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993

The Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 provides objectives for all development considered under this Act. The proposal has been considered against the objectives of this Act. The proposal has been prepared to be consistent with the provisions of the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015. The proposal is therefore considered to be consistent with the objectives of the Act.

4.5 National Environment Protection Measures

A series of National Environment Protection Measures (NEPMs) have been established by the National Environment Protection Council. These measures are:

• Ambient air quality;

• National pollutant inventory;

• Movement of controlled waste;

• Use packaging materials;

• Assessment of site contamination; and

• Diesel vehicle emissions.

Proposal Response

It is considered that the NEPMs are not relevant to the proposed development.

5. Conclusion

The proposal is for the change of use to Hotel Industry –Liquor Store with ancillary carparking and signage at 44-48 Bathurst Street, Launceston, with access and additional carparking on 36-42 Bathurst Street, Launceston, and is illustrated in plans, provided at Appendix C.

The proposal complies with the development standards prescribed by the Scheme, and can be approved under the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015. This application is therefore made due to the development pursuant to Section 57 of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993.

The proposal is consistent with the relevant State and local policies, Planning Scheme objectives and considerations and objectives of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993. It is therefore recommended that the proposal be considered for planning approval.

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

1. Introduction

1.1 Background

Midson Traffic were engaged by Loop Architecture to prepare a traffic impact assessment for a proposed

Dan Murphy’s bottle shop in Bathurst Street, Launceston.

1.2 Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)

A traffic impact assessment (TIA) is a process of compiling and analysing information on the impacts

that a specific development proposal is likely to have on the operation of roads and transport networks.

A TIA should not only include general impacts relating to traffic management, but should also consider

specific impacts on all road users, including on-road public transport, pedestrians, cyclists and heavy

vehicles.

This TIA has been prepared in accordance with the Department of State Growth (DSG) publication, A

Framework for Undertaking Traffic Impact Assessments, September 2007. This TIA has also been

prepared with reference to the Austroads publication, Guide to Traffic Management, Part 12: Traffic

Impacts of Developments, 2009.

Land use developments generate traffic movements as people move to, from and within a development.

Without a clear understanding of the type of traffic movements (including cars, pedestrians, trucks, etc),

the scale of their movements, timing, duration and location, there is a risk that this traffic movement

may contribute to safety issues, unforseen congestion or other problems where the development

connects to the road system or elsewhere on the road network. A TIA attempts to forecast these

movements and their impact on the surrounding transport network.

A TIA is not a promotional exercise undertaken on behalf of a developer; a TIA must provide an

impartial and objective description of the impacts and traffic effects of a proposed development. A full

and detailed assessment of how vehicle and person movements to and from a development site might

affect existing road and pedestrian networks is required. An objective consideration of the traffic impact

of a proposal is vital to enable planning decisions to be based upon the principles of sustainable

development.

The Road and Railway Assets Code of the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme, 2015, identifies that a

TIA is required due to the traffic generation of the proposed development.

1.3 Statement of Qualification and Experience

This TIA has been prepared by an experienced and qualified traffic engineer in accordance with the

requirements of Council’s Planning Scheme and The Department of State Growth’s, A Framework for

Undertaking Traffic Impact Assessments, September 2007, as well as Council’s requirements.

The TIA was prepared by Keith Midson. Keith’s experience and qualifications are briefly outlined as

1.4 Project Scope

The project scope of this TIA is outlined as follows:

Review of the existing road environment in the vicinity of the site and the traffic conditions on

the road network.

Provision of information on the proposed development with regards to traffic movements and

activity.

Identification of the traffic generation potential of the proposal with respect to the surrounding

road network in terms of road network capacity.

Review of the parking requirements of the proposed development. Assessment of this parking

supply with Planning Scheme requirements.

Traffic implications of the proposal with respect to the external road network in terms of traffic

efficiency and road safety.

1.5 Subject Site

The subject site is located at 44-48 Bathurst Street (corner of Bathurst Street and York Street) in

Launceston. The site was previously used as an Office Works store. The subject site and surrounding

road network is shown in Figure 1.

The site is located immediately adjacent to a large Council owned 233 space car park. The car park has

access from Bathurst Street, Brisbane Street and York Street. Access to the subject site is located

immediately west of the Bathurst Street access. Council have provided a letter of comfort or assurance

regarding Council’s long term intention to maintain the car park. In the event that the car park were to

be sold or developed, it would be done so with a provision to ensure the number of Council car parking

spaces were maintained. A copy of this letter is provided in Appendix A.

The existing site viewed from the Bathurst Street access is shown in Figure 2.

2. Existing Conditions

2.1 Transport Network

For the purpose of this report, the transport network consists of Bathurst Street and York Street. Other

roads such as Margaret Street, Brisbane Street and Wellington Street were considered in the context of

preparing the TIA, but not examined in detail.

Bathurst Street is a major arterial road that provides the northbound component of the Bathurst Street/

Wellington Street couplet through the CBD. It carries approximately 45,000 vehicles per day across

three lanes adjacent to the subject site. On-street parking is not permitted on the western side of

Bathurst Street (side of subject site), and limited sections of on-street parking is available opposite the

subject site.

Bathurst Street looking south from the access to the site is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Bathurst Street at Access

York Street crosses Bathurst Street at a signalised intersection and provides one-way flow from the CBD

to the West Tamar Highway. York Street has two through lanes past the subject site. On-street parking

is available on both sides of the road.

York Street viewed looking east from the subject site is shown in Figure 4.

2.2 Road Safety Performance

Crash data can provide valuable information on the road safety performance of a road network. Existing

road safety deficiencies can be highlighted through the examination of crash data, which can assist in

determining whether traffic generation from the proposed development may exacerbate any identified

issues.

Crash data was obtained from the Department of State Growth for a 5+ year period between 1st January

2010 and 30 August 2015 for the following roads:

Bathurst Street between York Street and Brisbane Street; and

York Street between Bathurst Street and Margaret Street.

The findings of the crash data is summarised as follows:

Bathurst Street:

A total of 50 crashes were reported in Bathurst Street during this time.

Of these crashes, a total of 21 crashes were reported at the Brisbane Street junction, 12 were

reported at the York Street junction, and 17 were reported mid-block (non-intersection).

9 crashes involved minor injury, 1 first-aid at the scene, and 40 property damage.

4 crashes involved pedestrians. 3 of these crashes were reported at the York Street junction

and 1 at the Brisbane Street junction.

wrankmorec
Stamp
Page 68: Dan Murphy's Bathurst Street application

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

The dominant crash trends were: cross traffic (10 crashes), rear-end (8 crashes), lane change

left (7 crashes), lane change right (7 crashes), other same direction (4 crashes), other (14

crashes).

Of the cross traffic crashes, all occurred at the signalised intersections of Brisbane Street (6

crashes) and York Street (4 crashes). Of the rear end crashes, 5 occurred at the signalised

intersections of Brisbane Street (2 crashes) and York Street (3 crashes).

York Street:

A total of 20 crashes were reported in York Street during this time.

Of these crashes, a total of 14 crashes were reported at the Margaret Street junction, and 6

were reported mid-block (non-intersection).

3 crashes involved minor injury, 1 first-aid at the scene, 15 property damage, and 1 unknown.

No crashes involved pedestrians, 1 involved a bicycle and 3 involved a motorcycle. All of these

crashes occurred at the intersection of Margaret Street.

The dominant crash trends were: right-through (6 crashes), rear-end (5 crashes), cross-traffic (5

crashes), other (4 crashes).

Whilst the total number of crashes is relatively high in Bathurst Street, it is considered reasonably typical

of a major arterial road through a city environment. The severity of the crashes reported is relatively

low. Importantly, no crashes were reported that involved a vehicle emerging from the car park access

fronting onto Bathurst Street.

3. Proposed Development

3.1 Development Proposal

The proposed development involves the development of a Dan Murphy’s bottle shop utilising the existing

building structure that was previously used as an Office Works store.

The proposed development utilises the existing car parking layout of the previous Office Works site,

however proposes one-way flow (previously the car park provided two-way flow) from the car park entry

at Bathurst Street with a new exit-only on York Street near the southwestern corner of the car park.

The development proposes a total of 40 spaces on-site, as well as an additional 9 angle parking spaces

leased from the adjacent Council car park1. A loading dock is located near the northwest corner of the

building, with access from the adjacent Council car park.

The proposed development is shown in Figure 5.

1 Note that the developer is in the process of negotiating a long term lease on these parking spaces for the development. Preliminary notes on this matter are provided in Appendix A.

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

4. Traffic Impacts

4.1 Traffic Generation

There is little empirical research into the traffic generation of bottle shops in Australia. The Nationally

recognised reference source for traffic generation and parking requirements, The RTA Guide, does not

provide details for this type of development, but refers to the USA reference, Institute of Transportation

Engineers, Trip Generation Manual. The rates provided in the ITE Manual relate to liquor stores with

drive through facilities, which is not applicable to the proposed development.

Traffic generation surveys were therefore used from several bottle shops in the Greater Hobart region

to estimate the likely traffic generation of the development. These surveys indicate that typical evening

peak generation rates of approximately 14 vehicles per 100m2 of floor area would be applicable.

On this basis, the traffic generation is likely to be in the order of 224 vehicles per hour during peak

periods (evening weekday peak).

The previous use of the site was an Office Works store. This use is retail in nature, and typical peak

traffic generation rates for this use would have been in the order of 12.5 vehicles per 100m2 of floor

area. This equates to a peak generation of approximately 200 vehicles per hour.

The proposed development therefore represents an increase of 24 vehicles per hour compared to the

previous use of the site.

4.2 Trip Distribution

All traffic entering the site will access via the Council owned car park located adjacent to the site.

Typically this traffic will enter from Bathurst Street, however access is available via Brisbane Street and

York Street (through Council’s car park).

All traffic exiting the site must utilise York Street via a right turn.

4.3 Access Impacts

Acceptable Solution A3 of E4.5.1 of the Road and Railway Assets Code states that “The annual average

daily traffic (AADT) of vehicle movements, to and from a site, using an existing access or junction, in an

area subject to a speed limit of 60km/h or less, must not increase by more than 20% or 40 vehicle

movements per day, whichever is the greater”.

In this case, the traffic generation of the proposed development is likely to increase by more than 40

vehicle movements per day when compared to the previous use. Therefore the proposed development

fails Acceptable Solution, A3 or E4.5.1.

The development was therefore assessed against the Performance Criteria, P3 of E4.5.1 states the

following:

wrankmorec
Stamp
Page 72: Dan Murphy's Bathurst Street application

14

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

Any increase in vehicle traffic at an existing access or junction in an area subject to a speed limit

of 60km/h or less, must be safe and not unreasonably impact on the efficiency of the road, having

regard to:

(a) the increase in traffic caused by the use;

(b) the nature of the traffic generated by the use;

(c) the nature and efficiency of the access or the junction;

(d) the nature and category of the road;

(e) the speed limit and traffic flow of the road;

(f) any alternative access to a road;

(g) the need for the use;

(h) any traffic impact assessment; and

(i) any written advice received from the road authority.

Each of these points are investigated as follows:

a. The additional traffic generation on the surrounding road network was estimated to be 24

vehicles per hour during peak times. The peak hour volumes do not cause any significant

adverse impacts on the access junctions.

b. Traffic generated by the development is identical in nature to the existing traffic generated by

the site in terms of the road users, peak periods, etc. This traffic is compatible with the

surrounding transport network.

c. The peak hour traffic generation of the development is estimated to be 224 vehicles per hour.

The accesses to the site (and the neighbouring Council car park accesses) will continue to

operate at a high level of efficiency.

d. Bathurst Street provides a collector road function for traffic travelling northbound through

Launceston. Accesses to commercial developments are frequent along its length near the

subject site. The continued use of the access from Bathurst Street is compatible with the nature

and category of Bathurst Street. York Street has a lower traffic carrying function in Launceston’s

road hierarchy, although it provides a critical access to West Tamar Highway. The nature and

function of the road suits the access requirements for the site.

e. The speed limit of all frontage roads to the subject site is 60-km/h. The access and traffic

generated by the proposed development is consistent with the existing speed limit.

f. Alternative entry access is available via Council’s adjacent car park from York Street and

Brisbane Street.

g. The location of the junctions on Bathurst Street and York Street are deemed to be appropriate in

its position on the road, available sight distance and its design.

wrankmorec
Stamp
Page 73: Dan Murphy's Bathurst Street application

15

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

h. This report documents a traffic impact assessment for the development.

i. No written advice has been obtained by the road authority (Council), other than the advice that

a TIA is required for the development.

The proposed development therefore meets the requirements of Performance Criteria, P3, of E4.5.1 of

the Planning Scheme.

4.4 Pedestrian and Cycling Impacts

The proposed development is likely to generate a moderate amount of pedestrian activity to and from

the site.

It is not anticipated that cycling will provide a significant transport mode for customers. For reasons

discussed in Section 5.3, the typical purchases that occur at a bottle shop are not easily transported on a

bicycle.

The surrounding transport network provides a high level of service for pedestrian movements. This is in

the form of wide footpaths and pedestrian crossing provisions on the surrounding traffic signals.

4.5 Road Safety Impacts

No significant adverse road safety impacts are foreseen for the proposed development. This is based on

the following:

The predicted future peak traffic generation of 224 vehicle trips per hour is comparable to the

previous use traffic generation of the site. Observations of the existing access on Bathurst

Street indicate that there are no capacity issues associated with entry or exit movements.

Access to the site is via existing major access on Bathurst Street which has been in use for many

years. Trips into and out of the site will therefore not be considered unusual or unexpected for

passing motorists on Bathurst Street. The development also provides a new exit onto York

Street, which reduces the pressure of exiting manoeuvres on Bathurst Street to some extent.

The site is also located in a dominantly commercial area, where access into and out of

commercial properties is commonplace.

There are no identified road safety deficiencies in the surrounding road network that might be

exacerbated by traffic generated by the proposed development. Noting specifically that the

crash history of the immediate transport network does not include crash types corresponding to

access from adjacent property.

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

5. Parking Assessment

5.1 Parking Provision

The proposed development provides a total of 40 spaces on-site and an additional 9 spaces that are

located adjacent to the site within the Council car park (leased from the Council). The site is also

located immediately adjacent to a large Council car park that contains a total of 261 spaces (excluding

the 9 spaces leased to the site).

5.2 Planning Scheme Requirements

The Parking and Sustainable Transport Code sets out the Planning Scheme parking requirements for a

development. Schedule E6.5.1 states that the Acceptable Solution, A1, is as follows:

The number of car parking spaces must:

(a) not be less than 90% of the requirements of Table E6.1 (except for dwellings in the

General Residential Zone); or

(b) not be less than 100% of the requirements of Table E6.1 for dwellings in the General

Residential Zone; or

(c) not exceed the requirements of Table E6.1 by more than 2 spaces or 5% whichever is

the greater, except for dwellings in the General Residential Zone; or

(d) be in accordance with an acceptable solution contained within a parking precinct plan.

The Planning Scheme requires the following provision for ‘Hotel Industry’ land use:

1 space per 20m2 of floor area available to the public + 1 space per bedroom + 6 spaces for drive

in bottle shop.

In this case, the development is a liquor retail outlet that does not have accommodation and does not

have a drive through facility. The parking requirements are therefore a total of 56 spaces are required

based on a floor area of 1,110m2 available to the public (only retail area, not including office and

amenities, etc).

Note that whilst the development is a bottle shop, it is essentially a retail development (ie. it is a large

retail store that sells alcohol products, not a bar that serves alcoholic beverages) and the ‘General Retail

and Hire’ land use would be more appropriate. This has a requirement of 1 space per 30m2 of gross

floor area which results in a parking requirement of 53 spaces (based on a gross floor area of 1,600m2).

The parking provision of 49 spaces (including the spaces leased from Council on the northern boundary

of the site) is therefore a shortfall of 7 spaces when assessed as a ‘Hotel Industry’ land use and a

shortfall of 4 spaces when assessed as ‘General Retail and Hire’ land use.

wrankmorec
Stamp
Page 75: Dan Murphy's Bathurst Street application

17

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

The Acceptable Solution A1 of E6.5.1 of the Planning Scheme states that “the number of car parking

spaces must: (a) not be less than 90% of the requirements of Table E6.1”. In this case the provision of

49 spaces represents 87.5% of the requirements of Table E6.1 when assessed as ‘Hotel Industry’ and

92.5% of the requirements of Table E6.1 when assessed as ‘General Retail and Hire’.

The proposed development therefore complies with the Acceptable Solution A1 of E6.5.1 of the Planning

Scheme when assessed as ‘General Retail and Hire’, but falls short when assessed as ‘Hotel Industry’.

On this basis, the proposed development was assessed against the Performance Criteria, P1.1 of E6.5.1.

The Performance Criteria states the following:

“The number of car parking spaces for other than residential uses, must be provided to meet the

reasonable needs of the use, having regard to:

(a) the availability of off-road public car parking spaces within reasonable walking distance;

(b) the ability of multiple users to share spaces because of:

(i) variations in car parking demand over time; or

(ii) efficiencies gained by consolidation of car parking spaces;

(c) the availability and frequency of public transport within reasonable walking distance of

the site;

(d) any site constraints such as existing buildings, slope, drainage, vegetation and

landscaping;

(e) the availability, accessibility and safety of on-road parking, having regard to the nature

of the roads, traffic management and other uses in the vicinity;

(f) an assessment of the actual car parking demand determined in light of the nature of the

use and development;

(g) the effect on streetscape; and

(h) the recommendations of any traffic impact assessment prepared for the proposal”.

In this case, the following points are relevant:

a. There is a large public car park located immediately adjacent to the subject site. This car park is

controlled by voucher parking. The peak demand for the development will be during the

evening peak, during which time the occupancy of the adjacent car park will reduce, thus

making parking available for customers of the development.

b. There is little other development in the immediate area that is likely to have shared parking with

the proposed development. The points made in (a) above are relevant however, as the public

car park is likely to reduce in demand at times when the development demands will peak.

c. The site is located on major public transport routes.

wrankmorec
Stamp
Page 76: Dan Murphy's Bathurst Street application

18

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

d. The site re-uses the existing building structure and as such the site is constrained in its ability to

provide additional parking.

e. There is a large pool of nearby on-street parking within a reasonable walking distance. The

majority of on-street parking is controlled by time restrictions or parking meters.

f. The proposed development is a retail outlet for alcoholic products and provides more than 90%

of the parking requirements for ‘General Retail and Hire’ land use as outlined previously.

g. There is no impact on the streetscape as the development re-uses existing parking spaces.

h. This report documents the findings of a TIA.

Based on the above findings, the proposed development meets the requirements of Performance Criteria

P1.1 of E6.5.1 of the Planning Scheme.

5.3 Bicycle Parking Requirements

Acceptable Solution A1 of E6.5.2 of the Planning Scheme requires that “the number of bicycle parking

spaces must be provided on either the site or within 50m of the site in accordance with the requirements

of Table E6.1”. For ‘Hotel Industry’ 1 bicycle space per 100m2 of area available to the public, and for

‘General Retail and Hire’ land use, 1 bicycle space per 100m2 of gross floor area.

This requires a total provision of 11 bicycle spaces when assessed as ‘Hotel Industry’ and 16 spaces

when assessed as ‘General Retail and Hire’. No bicycle spaces are proposed and therefore the

Acceptable Solution A1 or E6.5.2 is not met.

The Performance Criteria, P1 or E6.5.2 requires that:

Bicycle parking spaces must be provided to meet the reasonable needs of the use, having regard

to:

(a) the likely number and characteristics of users of the site and their opportunities and

likely need to travel by bicycle;

(b) the location of the site and the likely distance a cyclist needs to travel to reach the site;

and

(c) the availability and accessibility of existing and planned parking facilities for bicycles in

the vicinity.

In this case, the following is relevant:

a. Customers are unlikely to access the site via bicycle due to the bulky nature of the goods

sold at the development.

b. The existing road network is not ideal for the movement of bicycles to and from the site

(due to the major traffic carrying function of Bathurst Street). This reduces the

attractiveness of the site as a destination for cyclists.

wrankmorec
Stamp
Page 77: Dan Murphy's Bathurst Street application

19

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

c. There is little known planned parking facilities in the nearby vicinity of the site.

Based on the above, the Performance Criteria, P1, or E6.5.2 is met.

5.4 Motorcycle Parking Requirements

Acceptable Solution A1 of E6.5.4 of the Planning Scheme requires:

Except for dwellings in the General Residential zone, uses that require greater than 20 car parking

spaces by Table E6.1 must provide one motorcycle parking space on site with one additional

motorcycle parking space on site for each additional 20 car parking spaces required.

The development requires a total of 2 motorcycle spaces. In this case, the site does not provide

motorcycle parking. The Performance Criteria, P1, was therefore assessed. The development is a liquor

retail outlet and therefore it is unlikely that motorcycles will access the site to purchase goods. It is

further noted that there is a large pool of nearby on and off-street parking that is available for

motorcycles as well as cars if necessary.

The proposed development is considered to comply with P1(a) of E6.5.4 (the nature of the proposed use

and development).

5.5 Disabled Parking

Acceptable Solution A2 of E6.5.1 requires that the number of accessible car parking spaces for use by

persons with a disability for uses that require 6 or more parking spaces must be in accordance with Part

D3 of the National Construction Code 2014. This is a requirements for 1 space (1 accessible parking

space for every 50 spaces for Class 6). This is provided in the car park, thus satisfying the requirements

of Acceptable Solution, A2 or E6.5.1.

This space is located immediately adjacent to the main pedestrian entrance to the site.

5.6 Loading Bays

Acceptable Solution A1 of E6.6.4 of the Planning Scheme requires:

The area and dimensions of loading bays and access way areas must be designed in accordance

with AS2890.2 – 2002, Parking Facilities, Part 2: Parking facilities - Off-street commercial vehicle

facilities, for the type of vehicles likely to use the site.

In this case, a loading bay area is located on the northern boundary of the site. The loading dock is an

open facility that requires service vehicles to park parallel to the building line. The dimensions of the

loading area are approximately 20m x 4.7m. The loading area was previously used for the Office Works

site.

Truck swept paths are shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6 Loading Bay Truck Swept Paths

Australian Standards, AS2890.2:2002, requires that the service area is dependent on a combination of:

(a) The maximum size of vehicle likely to use the facility.

(b) The frequency with which vehicles of different classification use the facility; and

(c) Whether the public road from which the facility is accessed is a major or minor road.

wrankmorec
Stamp
Page 79: Dan Murphy's Bathurst Street application

21

44-48 Bathurst Street - Traffic Impact Assessment

The following points are relevant for the site:

Swept paths of 8.8 metres and 12.5 metre trucks were tested through the site, accessing from

Bathurst Street.

The frequency of access to the site will be several times per day by vehicles of varying sizes.

Access into the site is via a major road. This access (which is in its exiting location for the

current site) has been assessed to be appropriate in following sections of AS2890.2

Australian Standards, AS2890.2:2002, also requires that the use of the service area for regular use of a

major road (Bathurst Street) must be as follows:

(a) A service area unobstructed by other vehicles or on-site activities shall be provided.

(b) All manoeuvring associated with parking, loading and unloading shall be able to be confined to

the service area.

(c) Both entry and exit at the property boundary shall be in the forward direction.

(d) Circulation roadways shall be provided to connect the access driveway with the service area.

(e) Wherever practicable, separate entry and exit access driveways should be provided.

In this case, the following is applicable:

(a) The service area and access driveway has been tested to enable the swept path of 8.8 metre

and 12.5 metre trucks.

(b) All manoeuvring associated with parking, loading and unloading are confined to the service area

of the site.

(c) Entry and exit from the site for service vehicles is in a forwards direction.

(d) The loading area includes a large space for manoeuvring.

(e) Separate entry and exit is available for this site.

The proposed access arrangements therefore comply with 3.2.3 of AS2890.2. Acceptable Solution A1 or

E6.6.4 is met.

5.7 Car Parking Layout

The car parking layout utilises the existing layout that was used for the site’s previous use, with minor

modifications to accommodate a new exit onto York Street.

The car park will function with a one-way flow from the Bathurst Street access to York Street to improve

circulation.

5.8 On-Street Parking

The proposed exit onto York Street requires the removal of at least 2 on-street parking spaces adjacent

to the site.

6. Conclusions

This traffic impact assessment (TIA) investigated the traffic and parking impacts of a proposed Dan

Murphy’s bottle shop development at 44-48 Bathurst Street, Launceston.

The key findings of this TIA are as follows:

The traffic generated by the proposed development will not have any significant adverse impacts

on the surrounding road network in terms of traffic efficiency or road safety.

The development re-uses the existing building structure and car parking layout, with minor

modifications that include:

→ Converting the car park to one-way flow from the Bathurst Street access to York Street.

→ Installation of a new exit onto York Street. This requires the loss of at least two on-street

parking spaces at the exit location.

Access into the site is via the adjacent Council owned car park. The primary entry will be via

Bathurst Street, with other accesses located in Brisbane Street and York Street. The existing

accesses are all designed to accommodate high volumes associated with the car park itself as

well as the subject site (which was previously an Office Works store).

Based on the findings of this report and subject to the recommendations above, the proposed

development is supported on traffic grounds.
