Agenda

Site and its context

The process to date

March 2012 Bunnings Planning Proposal submitted to change the height & zoning planning controls• Supported by Council Nov 2012 for exhibition purposes

November 2012 Development Application demolition of building, new bus lane, + vehicle ramp at Tennyson Rd

• Approved by Council 23 July 2013

March 2013 Gateway Determination issued by NSW Planning subject to B5 land use zone

• April 2013 Council supported proposal to proceed to consultation

The process to date

August 2013 Community workshop on traffic impacts from a potential Bunnings if site is rezoned• Followed issues raised during public consultation in June‐July

November 2013 Council defers decision on the planning controls for the site pending a new traffic study• Study brief prepared by Council

June 2014Traffic study commenced with data collection• August 2014 community workshop – what we have found so far

Bunnings Proposed Land Use Zoning (exhibited)

Amend from IN2 to B5 to enable Bunnings and bulky goods warehouse

Bunnings Proposed Height (exhibited)

Existing Height Control – none specified

Proposed Height Control• RL63 (12 to 15 metres

building height)• RL52 (6 to 14 metres

building height) and• RL42 (0 to 4 metres)

What is the Bunnings proposal?

Initial Concept Plans• 2 level Bunnings Warehouse (16,000m2) and a

Bulky Goods Retail Centre (22,000m2)

• Building Heights - equivalent to 3 - 4 storey building

• Basement car parking (895 spaces)

• Tennyson Rd (Victoria Road) access permits vehicles to enter & exit site without reliance on Frank Street.

What we heard from you June‐August 2013

Increased traffic congestion

Increased impacts on

availability of on‐street parking

Impact on character and nature of ‘local

area’

Validity of traffic counts and traffic

modelling

Safety of residents

(particularly children)

Increase in heavy / large vehicles

Cumulative impact with

future / existing development

Impacts on traffic and road

network

Building bulk and built form not in keeping with

surrounding area

Loss of privacy for nearby houses

Impact on property prices /

values

Potential overshadowing of nearby houses

Added noise from increased traffic and activity

Impacts on established retail centres hierarchy

Added noise from longer trading hours plus weekends

Stormwater and flooding not fully

addressed

Planning Proposal and Development Activity

Bunnings Site

Tennyson Road (2‐12 & 14) Planning ProposalReceived18 October 2013Rezone from IN2 to B4, increase FSR & height to enable• 404 units & 3,300sqm assisted living• 400sqm retail & Childcare Centre• 683 parking spaces

25 February 2014 Council resolved to refuse planning proposal on:• Inconsistency with strategic direction • Traffic issues• Amenity, density and height

Purpose of the Study

Council’s Brief:

To assess the impacts of the Bunnings Development Site Planning Proposal

To investigate traffic and parking impacts and options to try and minimise them

But, set in the context of the needs for all development in the area to 2031 (i.e. cumulative impact).

Consultant’s Role:

Document existing issues

Build a computer traffic model to test options and then develop and test options

Develop a strategy to minimise traffic and parking impacts at various development trigger points

Study Area

SITE

Map Source: Google Maps

• Broader “Gladesville” area

• Bunnings development site (not just Bunnings hardware development)

Study Process

Stage 1• Data Collection and Validation

Stage 2• Traffic Model Development and Calibration

Stage 3• Future Options Development, Testing, Appraisal

Stage 4• Consultation, “Plan” Development and Reporting

Questions?

Observed Traffic Issues (AM Peak)

Low volumes prior to 7:30am

Peak at 7:45am

Heavy southbound and

northbound queues on

Victoria Rd at Pittwater Rd

Other queues along Victoria

Rd do not extend across

intersections, but links

between intersections are at

capacity during inter-green

phase

Queuing and delays Other issues

Observed Traffic Issues (PM Peak)

Heavy westbound traffic

through Ryde Rd –

Monash Rd – Victoria Rd,

causing queues to extend

through intersections

Buffalo Rd used as a ‘rat-

run’

Queuing and delays Other issues

Observed Traffic Issues (Sat Peak)

Queuing and delays Other issues Shopping strip on Victoria

Road south creates slow

speeds and delays.

Heavy on-street parking at

Gladesville Shops and

surrounding car parks.

Heavy traffic in both

directions on Victoria Road

More local trips than

weekday peak
