Executive Summary

 

On 9 June 2016, Council received a Development Application (DA-541/2016) for the demolition of existing structures and construction of a childcare centre with basement car parking at 53 Clyde Avenue, Moorebank.

The application was refused by the Liverpool Local Planning Panel (LPP) on 25 June 2018 primarily due to traffic impacts of the proposal.

The applicant subsequently lodged a Class 1 appeal on 21 December 2018 with the Land & Environment Court. As part of the appeal process, a conciliation conference was held on 23 August 2019. It was agreed at the conciliation conference that the most appropriate mechanism to alleviate the traffic impacts of the proposal, particularly at the intersection of Marshall Avenue and Nuwarra Road was for this intersection to be upgraded.

The technical traffic assessments provided to Council for consideration indicated the most appropriate intersection treatment to be a roundabout. The assessments indicated the roundabout will improve the level of service at the intersection from "B" to "A" in the morning peak hours period and from "F" to "C" in the afternoon peak hours period.

 

Based on the agreed design, a quantity surveyors report, prepared by Quantity Surveyors Project Managers calculated the cost of the intersection upgrade at $308,617 (GST inclusive).

The legal mechanism for Council to collect monetary contributions outside of a developer contribution plan is in the form of a Planning Agreement. The applicant has offered to enter into a planning agreement with Council for 50% of the cost of upgrading the intersection, being $154,308.50


 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That Council:

 

1.   Endorse the proposed planning agreement for a monetary contribution of $154,308.50 towards the upgrade of the Marshall Avenue/Nuwarra Road intersection and directs the CEO to publicly exhibit the proposed planning agreement and accompanying explanatory note for 28 days;

 

2.   Delegate authority to the CEO, subject to consideration of any changes following public exhibition, to execute the planning agreement in the form that is publicly exhibited or with minor alterations; and

 

3.   Note that if changes other than minor changes arise from the public exhibition process these will be reported back to Council.

 

REPORT

 

During the assessment of the development application, the Local Planning Panel considered there to be significant capacity constraints in the local road network to accommodate a childcare centre on the site. Traffic data submitted at the time of assessment indicated that there would be a significant increase in the delay experienced by drivers wishing to exit Marshall Avenue turning right into Nuwarra Road at peak times. Although the existing intersection is already functioning poorly, the child care centre would increase the delays at this intersection.

 

A traffic and design assessment, prepared by TSA (ref no: 16-020-2), dated 25 October 2018, identified that the subject site and adjoining properties within the surrounding precinct are only able to be accessed via the Nuwarra Road and Marshall Avenue intersection. As such, traffic generated by existing developments and the proposed child care centre within this precinct directly impacts on this intersection.

 

The intersection is currently performing with a level of service “F” during PM peak periods and level of service “B” during AM peak periods.

 

Ultimately, the LPP refused the development application, for the following reasons:

 

1.   It is considered that in the circumstances of the case, approval of the development would create a detrimental traffic impact on the locality and therefore the subject site is not considered suitable for the proposed development, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.15(1)(c) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979;

 

2.   The proposed development is not considered to be acceptable having regard to the concerns raised during the exhibition of the proposal and from internal referrals within Council, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.15(1)(d) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979;

 

3.   It is considered that in the circumstances of the case, that approval of the development would create a detrimental traffic impact on the locality and is therefore not in the public interest, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.15(1)(e) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Class 1 Appeal

 

On 21 December 2018, the applicant filed a Class 1 Appeal with the Land & Environment Court. As part of the appeal process, a conciliation conference was held on 23 August 2019 where it was agreed the most appropriate mechanism to alleviate the traffic concerns was an upgrade to the intersection. The outcomes of the conciliation conference are discussed further in this report.

 

Pedestrian, Active Transport and Traffic Committee meeting (15 May 2019)

 

On 15 May 2019, The Liverpool Pedestrian, Active Transport and Traffic Committee considered a report regarding the upgrade of the existing seagull intersection to include a roundabout.

 

The committee was informed that significant delays are experienced by right turn movements into and out of Marshall Avenue at this intersection, due to high traffic volumes along Nuwarra Road. However, at the time of the meeting, the committee considered alternative treatments be investigated including:

 

1.   Modification to existing traffic signals at Nuwarra Road and Brickmakers Drive intersection to provide gaps in the southbound traffic along Nuwarra Road; and

 

2.   Installation of ‘Keep Clear’ pavement markings to supplement the existing ‘Do Not Queue Across intersection’ signposting.

 

Since the committee meeting of 15 May 2019 and subsequent to its recommendations endorsed by Council at its 26 June 2019 meeting, discussions were held with the traffic signals coordinator at RMS. The RMS advised that the above treatments would not reduce traffic delays significantly at this intersection and that a roundabout is the most appropriate treatment.

 

The reasons the above alternatives cannot be further considered are:

 

1.   Modification of the existing traffic signals would result in an increase in traffic delays along Brickmakers Drive, predominately during the evening peak periods. Marshall Avenue provides access to approximately 145 detached residential properties in the catchment. Traffic counts undertaken in the past two years reveal that traffic volumes does not meet the RMS traffic signals warrant of 900 vehicles per hour and 100 vehicles per hour; or 600 vehicles per hour and 200 vehicles per hour along Nuwarra Road and Marshall Avenue respectively for four hours a day; and

 

2.   Installation of ‘Keep Clear’ pavement markings do not mitigate traffic congestion considering the intersection currently has a sign marked as “Do Not Queue Across Intersection”. The existing sign has not reduced the significant delay experienced by right movements in and out of Marshall Avenue.

Section 34 Conciliation Conference

 

The traffic assessment, prepared by TSA (ref no: 16-020-2) dated 25 October 2018 was considered as part of conciliation conference. The assessment identified that the child care centre would increase traffic along Marshall Avenue by approximately 40%. To alleviate traffic congestion, it was agreed at the conciliation conference that the most appropriate mechanism to improve the intersection is a roundabout.

 

A report prepared by TTPP transport planning, (ref no: 19303) dated 30 August 2019 was also prepared for the conciliation conference. The report included a traffic count that identified that heavy vehicles utilise Nuwarra Road (approximately 1-2 per cent of total vehicles in each direction during the AM and PM surveyed peak hour period). Consequently, the roundabout would need to accommodate such vehicles as well as standard vehicles.

 

The amended designs of the roundabout were presented to the Liverpool Pedestrian, Active Transport and Traffic Committee meeting of 25 September 2019.

Pedestrian, Active Transport and Traffic Committee meeting (25 September 2019)

 

At its meeting of 25 September 2019, the committee discussed and supported the proposed roundabout, noting that the developer of the child care centre is prepared to make a contribution towards its installation.

 

The committee requested that detailed design incorporating a speed hump across the southbound traffic lane (along Nuwarra Road) and appropriate pedestrian crossing facility across Nuwarra Road be submitted to the RMS and Police for their review prior to construction.

 

CONCLUSION

 


An offer to enter into a planning agreement associated with DA-541/2016 for a monetary contribution towards the upgrade of the Marshall Avenue and Nuwarra Road intersection has been received.

 

It is recommended that the proposed planning agreement be endorsed by Council and exhibited in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2000 and that Council delegates to the CEO (subject to consideration of any changes following public exhibition) the authority to execute the planning agreement in the form that is publicly exhibited or with minor alterations.

Executive Summary

 

This report presents the recommendations of the Liverpool Pedestrian, Active Transport and Traffic Committee meeting held on 25 September 2019. At the meeting, the Committee considered thirteen (13) agenda items and eight (8) general business items.

 

Agenda Item 3 (Nuwarra Road and Marshall Avenue Intersection, Moorebank – Proposed Roundabout) has a financial implication as detailed in the report. This matter is also the subject of a separate report, being EGROW 04 which recommends that Council supports in principle a planning agreement for a monetary contribution towards the construction of the roundabout.

 

At its meeting on 25 June 2018, the Liverpool Local Planning Panel, refused a development application (DA-541/2016) for a childcare centre at 53 Clyde Avenue, Moorebank due to the expected unacceptable traffic impacts at the Nuwarra Road and Marshall Avenue Intersection.

 

The proponent has lodged an appeal with the NSW Land and Environment Court (LEC) against this decision. At a recent LEC s34 conference, the proponent has proposed a monetary contribution of $154,308.50 (inc GST) to Council through a planning agreement to part fund the construction of the roundabout. The roundabout is estimated at $308,617 (including GST) to be funded by Council and the developer on a 50/50 basis.

REPORT

 

This report presents the recommendations of the Liverpool Pedestrian, Active Transport and Traffic Committee meeting held on 25 September 2019. At the meeting, the Committee considered thirteen (13) agenda items and eight (8) general business items.

 

Agenda Item 3 is for a proposed roundabout at Nuwarra Road and Marshall Avenue Moorebank. The roundabout has been proposed to reduce extensive delays at the intersection. Residents have requested this intersection be upgraded for at least the past three years.

 

In addition, the Liverpool Local Planning Panel refused a development application for a childcare centre at 53 Clyde Avenue, Moorebank due to the expected unacceptable traffic impacts at the intersection. The proponent lodged an appeal with the NSW Land and Environment Court against this decision. As part of the appeal, the proponent is proposing a monetary contribution of $154,308.50 to Council through a planning agreement to part fund the construction of the roundabout. This is subject to a separate report (EGROW 04).

 

The Land and Environment Court Commissioner is considering the application and at a recent s34 conference, it was recognised that the proposed childcare centre would increase traffic along Marshall Avenue by approximately 40%. To improve an existing problematic intersection it was agreed that, subject to Council’s approval, the developer would contribute 50% of the cost of a roundabout.

 

It is recommended that Council supports the intersection upgrade with funding of $154,308.50 to be considered during the 2020/21 budget. This allocation could be part funded from development contributions and Council’s general revenue for traffic facilities.

 

A copy of the meeting minutes, incorporating the Committee’s recommendations on the agenda items and actions in response to the general business items, is included as Attachment 1.

 

It is recommended that Council adopts the Committee’s recommendations on the agenda items as outlined above.

2.   Regentville Drive, Elizabeth Hills – Speeding concerns - The Committee noted that there are four existing traffic calming devices approximately 120 to 150m apart.  However, additional traffic counts have identified that the 85th percentile speed is approximately 42km/hr and additional devices are not required. The Police are requested to continue their speed enforcement.

 

3.   Yarrawa Street, Prestons – Review of Truck Parking - The Committee noted and resolved that the existing parking restrictions along Yarrawa Street be maintained.

 

4.   Jersey Street, Busby – Traffic Conditions - The Committee supported parking restrictions on one side of the street and resolved that an application under delegated authority be submitted to the RMS and Police for approval.

 

5.   Balmain Street, Cartwright – Intersection Priority - The Committee resolved that due to proposed additional developments in the area that traffic conditions be reviewed in the future.

 

6.   Liverpool LGA – Classification of Off-Street Special Events - The Committee discussed and agreed the following events can be classified as Class 3 events requiring preparation of a Special Event Transport Management Plan which is to be submitted to the RMS and Police for information.

a)   Northumberland Carpark, Liverpool – 19-20 October 2019 – Deepawali Mela by Shree Sanatan Dhram Pratinidhi Sabha of Australia.
