The project involved collecting and analysing extensive transport data through on-site surveys. Microsimulation modelling using VISSIM software included existing conditions models for the Friday PM peak period and Saturday lunchtime peak period, and nine possible road network and intersection scenarios.

The outputs of the project included a detailed report of the models for each scenario, improvement recommendations for roads and intersections, and video ‘fly-overs’ of the road network using each scenario.

The redevelopment will be undertaken in three stages. Stage 1 of the proposal contemplates additional retail floor area and almost +100 car spaces. The Second Stage proposes the redevelopment and revisioning of the eastern portion of the site to include additional retail, 3 residential towers, serviced apartments, office and other uses.

Traffix Group has been involved throughout the Town Planning Stages for all stages to date, which has included coordination and detailed discussions with the Department of Transport and Planning and Council, including obtaining concept approval for the delivery of upgrades traffic signals at Burwood Highway/Blackburn Road and the introduction of a new signalised intersection at Blackburn Road/Ray Road.

We continue to provide advice for new tenants of the Centre, including recently assisting with approvals for the Roller One roller skating rink.
