The team liased with the Road Authority, OVGA, Council and Statutory Planning Authority regarding vehicle access and transport strategy, to ensure appropriate access from multiple road interfaces.

The team liased with the Road Authority and Statutory Planning Authority regarding vehicle access and transport strategy, to ensure appropriate access to the site was obtained from Transport Zone Roads.

We provided traffic and transport engineering services through the town planning process and expert witness work through two VCAT hearings.
Detailed analysis of existing and post-development traffic conditions with a high level of innovation, as well as detailed swept path analysis was required to assess the application.

Traffix Group services included data collection, modelling of the traffic impacts, assessment of the car parking and bicycle parking requirements, transport design requirement advice and preparation of a Transport Impact Assessment Report.

A secondary assessment was also undertaken for this project, wherein ‘sensitivity testing’ was conducted to provide confidence to the project team that a higher development yield (750 – 2,000+ dwellings) could be accommodated by the surrounding road network and other potential implications should the yield be revised and increased.

Following the issue of a permit, we prepared a further transport impact assessment, advised on mitigating works and prepared a Road Safety Audit report.

Extensive negotiations with the Department of Transport and Planning, Council and Local Residents took place to resolve traffic and road safety concerns and provide a high-quality solution for the proposal and community.

The proposal will include the signalisation of an existing intersection with Burke Road, and DTP approval to a direct site access to customer parking and loading.

Traffix Group provided detailed advice in the initial Town Planning phase for multiple applications, as well traffic and parking surveys, intersection modelling, concept designs, and expert evidence as part of a VCAT application.

The site provided a unique challenge given its frontage to a major arteria road and rear laneways.

A bespoke access solution was proposed, providing for a unique deceleration entrance lane to an internal service road, facilitating high quality access to basement car parking areas, ground level pick-up/drop-off spaces for visitors and uber/taxi services.

Traffix Group successfully negotiated a high-quality access outcome with the Department of Transport and Planning, ensuring a smooth process for such a major development and avoiding the need for any appeal.

A written Traffic Engineering Assessment and Waste Management Plan were prepared to accompany the application. Negotiations were undertaken with Council Planners and Engineers to resolve concerns regarding vehicles access and waste collection strategies.
