1.0 Summary

This Transport Impact Assessment has been prepared by Transcore on behalf of Better Choice Fuel. The subject of this report is the proposed service station, workshop and tyre shop redevelopment at 770 Brookton Highway, Roleystone, in the City of Armadale. The subject site is presently occupied by a service station and workshop. Vehicle access to the site is available from crossovers on Brookton Highway and Hawkstone Road. The net additional traffic of the proposed redevelopment when accounting for traffic from the existing development is approximately +839 trips (daily), +67 trips (AM peak hour) and +61 trips (PM peak hour) on the surrounding road network. This level of additional traffic is relatively minimal and as such the impact of the redevelopment traffic on the surrounding road network will be insignificant. The proposed redevelopment layout has been assessed with respect to fuel tanker and service vehicle entry, egress and circulation. Swept path analysis confirms that the existing entry and egress arrangements, which are to be retained as part of the redevelopment, and proposed site layout facilitate safe and efficient fuel tanker and service vehicle movements and circulation. The traffic modelling and analysis undertaken indicates that the redevelopment traffic has insignificant impact during the post-redevelopment and 10-year post-redevelopment scenarios.


2.0 Introduction

This Transport Impact Assessment has been prepared by Transcore on behalf of Better Choice Fuel. The subject of this report is the proposed service station, workshop and tyre shop redevelopment at 770 Brookton Highway, Roleystone, in the City of Armadale. As shown in Figure 1, the subject site presently accommodates a service station and workshop. It is bound by Brookton Highway to the northwest, Hawkstone Road to the east and residential properties to the west and south. The location of the site in the context of the Metropolitan Region Scheme is indicated in Figure 2 and Brookton Highway is classified as a Primary Regional Road in the Metropolitan Region Scheme. Key issues that will be addressed in this report include the traffic generation and distribution of the proposed redevelopment, operation of the site crossovers and heavy vehicle access, egress and circulation.

3.3 Surrounding Road Network and Traffic Management on Frontage Roads

Brookton Highway Brookton Highway in the vicinity of the subject site is constructed to a two-lane divided standard with sealed shoulders/bicycles lanes provided on the both sides of the road. This section of Brookton Highway is classified as a Primary Distributor road in the Main Roads WA Functional Road Hierarchy and operates under the sign posted speed limit of 70km/h. Hawkstone Road Hawkstone Rood in the immediate vicinity of the subject site is constructed to a two-lane undivided standard with no pedestrian paths. This section of Hawkstone Road is classified as an Access Road in the Main Roads WA Functional Road Hierarchy and operates under a default built-up area speed limit of 50km/h.

3.4 Existing Traffic Volumes on Roads and Major Intersections

Recent traffic count data obtained from Main Roads WA indicates that Brookton Highway (east of Holden Road) carried average weekday traffic flows of approximately 4,382 vehicles per day (vpd) in 2017/2018. The weekday AM peak hour on Brookton Highway occurred between 8:00am and 9:00am and the PM peak hour occurred between 3:00pm to 4:00pm with 360vph and 445vph respectively.

3.5 Heavy Vehicles

Brookton Highway adjacent to the subject site forms part of RAV Network 4 which permits access by various heavy vehicle combinations up to 27.5m long truck. Hawkstone Road adjacent to the subject site forms part of RAV Network 1 which permits vehicles up to 20m to travel on these roads under general access, or “as of right” status.

3.6 Public Transport Access

As detailed in Figure 5, bus route 241 runs past the subject site on Brookton Highway which provides an opportunity to transfer to other connecting bus services.


Figure 5: Existing bus routes

3.7 Pedestrian and Cyclist Facilities

Bicycle lanes are provided on both sides of the Brookton Highway in the immediate vicinity of the subject site. The Department of Transport’s Perth Bike Map series is shown in Figure 6. There are no pedestrian paths in the immediate vicinity of the subject site.

4.0 Development Proposal

4.1 Proposed Site Use

The proposed redevelopment comprises:

Light vehicle canopy with 8 fuelling points for light vehicles; Convenience store building (160m2); One workshop with three service bays; One tyre shop (100m2); A loading bay; and, A total of 18 car parking spaces including 1 ACROD bay and 1 air & water

bay.

The layout of the proposed redevelopment is shown in the plan included in Appendix A.

4.2 Proposed Access for all Modes

As part of the proposed redevelopment, it is proposed to retain the existing Brookton Highway crossovers (crossover 1 and crossover 2) and Hawkstone Road crossover (crossover 3) without any modifications as shown in Figure 7. It should be noted that the kerbing shown on the site plan at the subject site crossovers already exist and the development does not propose any changes to these crossovers or any works within the Primary Regional Roads reserve.

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 10

Figure 7: Development crossover

Deliveries and waste collection will be accommodated within the site. Turn path analysis was undertaken for 19m fuel tanker and 8.8m service vehicle, which are proposed for this site, to enter, circulate and exit the site. Heavy vehicle access, egress and circulation are discussed in further detail in Section 9.0 of this report.

5.0 Changes to Surrounding Transport Networks

No changes to the surrounding road network are proposed as part of this redevelopment. No modification to the existing crossovers or any additional crossovers are proposed for the subject site.

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 12

6.0 Integration with Surrounding Area

The subject site has been operating as a service station with a workshop for a number of years and the proposed redevelopment is in line with the existing land uses on the subject site.

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 13

7.0 Traffic Assessment

7.1 Assessment Period

The assessment years that have been adopted for this analysis are the years 2019 & 2029, which represent the assumed post-redevelopment and 10-years post-redevelopment scenarios. The proposed redevelopment is expected to generate highest traffic movements during the weekday peak hour periods of the adjacent road network. Review of the Main Roads WA traffic count data indicates that the peak weekday traffic hours on Brookton Highway in this vicinity are between 8:00 am and 9:00am and between 3:00pm and 4:00pm. Accordingly, Transcore undertook traffic count surveys during these periods and trip generation was estimated and traffic analysis was undertaken for these periods.

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 14

7.2 Trip Generation and Distribution

7.2.1 Estimated Existing Traffic Generation

There is a service station with associated convenience store and a vehicle workshop currently operating at the subject site. Transcore undertook traffic count surveys on Wednesday, 24 April 2019 that indicate the existing development traffic generations are:

AM peak hour: 38vph (19 in/ 19 out)

PM peak hour: 58vph (29 in/ 29 out) In order to establish the proportional factor of daily and PM peak hour traffic generation (AM peak hour traffic is lower) for existing development, trip rates for a typical “Gasoline/Service Station with Convenience Market (945)” from the “ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition” publication were sourced: Gasoline/Service Station with Convenience Market (945)

Weekday PM peak hour: 13.99 trips per fuelling point Weekday: 206 trips per fuelling point

The weekday daily trip generation was divided by weekday PM peak hour trip generation to establish the adjustment factor. Therefore the adjustment factor is calculated as following: (Eq1) Adjustment Factor = 206/13.99 = 14.75 The adjustment factor derived in Equation 1 implies that daily traffic generation is 14.75 times of the PM peak hour traffic generation for service stations. Accordingly, it is estimated that the existing development daily traffic generation is 856vpd (58 x 14.75). The existing peak hour traffic turning movements at the subject site crossovers are shown in Section 3.2 of this report.

7.2.2 Proposed Redevelopment Traffic Generation

The traffic that would be generated by the proposed redevelopment has been estimated using trip generation rates derived from:

ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition

The trip rates which were used to estimate the proposed redevelopment traffic generation are as following:

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 15

Gasoline/Service Station with Convenience Market (945) – Vehicle Fuelling Positions

AM Peak Hour: 12.47 trips per fuelling point PM Peak Hour: 13.99 trips per fuelling point Weekday: 206 trips per fuelling point

The directional split of inbound and outbound trips for this element of the proposed redevelopment is estimated to be about 50/50 for inbound/outbound trips during the peak hours.

For this redevelopment 60% passing trade is conservatively assumed for service station with convenience store in accordance with ITE guidelines.

Automobile Care Centre (942) – Service Bays The ITE guidelines only provide trip rates for AM and PM peak hours and trip rate for daily traffic is not available for this land use. Therefore, in order to establish the proportional factor of daily and peak hour traffic generation for this land use, trip rates for a similar land use from the “ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition” publication were sourced: Automobile Parts and Service Centre (943)

Weekday AM peak hour: 1.96 trips per 1000 Sq.Ft.GFA

Weekday PM peak hour: 2.26 trips per 1000 Sq.Ft.GFA

Weekday: 16.28 trips per 1000 Sq.Ft.GFA

The weekday daily trip generation was divided by weekday PM peak hour trip generation (AM peak hour trip rate is lower) to establish the adjustment factor. Therefore the adjustment factor is calculated as following: (Eq2) Adjustment Factor = 16.28/2.26 = 7.20 The adjustment factor derived in Equation 2 implies that daily traffic generation is 7.20 times of the PM peak hour traffic generation for automobile parts and service centre. The same ratio is assumed for automobile care centre. Accordingly, it is estimated that the automobile care centre daily traffic rate is 15.63 (2.17 x 7.20) trips per service bay. Accordingly, the trip rates adopted were: Automobile Care Centre (942) – Service Bays

AM Peak Hour: 1.52 trips per service bay PM Peak Hour: 2.17 trips per service bay Weekday: 15.63 trips per service bay

The directional split of inbound and outbound trips for this element of the proposed development is estimated to be about 68/32 for inbound/outbound trips during the AM peak hour, and 32/68 inbound/outbound trips during the PM peak hour.

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 16

Tire Store (848) – 1000 Sq. Ft. GFA

AM Peak Hour: 2.72 trips per 1000 Sq. Ft. GFA PM Peak Hour: 3.98 trips per 1000 Sq. Ft. GFA Weekday: 28.52 trips per 1000 Sq. Ft. GFA

The directional split of inbound and outbound trips for this element of the proposed development is estimated to be about 64/36 for inbound/outbound trips during the AM peak hour, and 43/57 inbound/outbound trips during the PM peak hour. As detailed in Table 1, it is estimated that the proposed redevelopment would generate approximately 1,695 vehicular trips per day (both inbound and outbound) with approximately 105 and 119 trips during the weekday AM and PM peak hours respectively. This calculation does not allow for any cross trade between various land uses and therefore is conservative. The net additional traffic when accounting for traffic from existing development is conservatively +839 trips (daily), +67 trips (AM peak hour) and +61 trips (PM peak hour) on the surrounding road network. Two traffic distributions have been modelled for the weekday AM and PM peak hours:

Passing trade traffic as detailed in Figure 8. Non-passing trade traffic as detailed in Figure 9.

The total proposed redevelopment traffic is detailed in Figure 10. The redevelopment traffic distribution modelled in this report has been evaluated by considering the catchment area of the proposed redevelopment, existing traffic patterns and the identified key traffic routes.

7.4 Analysis of Intersection and Development Accesses

A SIDRA Network model was developed for the subject site crossovers on Brookton Highway and Hawkstone Road and T-intersection of Brookton Highway/Hawkstone Road in order to assess their operations in the post-redevelopment and 10-year post-redevelopment scenarios for AM and PM peak hours. Relevant heavy vehicle settings and parameters were updated in accordance with Main Roads WA’s latest requirements. Capacity analysis was undertaken using the SIDRA computer software package. SIDRA is an intersection modelling tool commonly used by traffic engineers for all types of intersections. SIDRA outputs are presented in the form of Degree of Saturation, Level of Service, Average Delay and 95% Queue. These characteristics are defined as follows:

Degree of Saturation (DoS): is the ratio of the arrival traffic flow to the capacity of the approach during the same period. The Degree of Saturation ranges from close to zero for varied traffic flow up to one for saturated flow or capacity.

Level of Service (LoS): is the qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream and the perception by motorists and/or passengers. In general, there are 6 levels of service, designated from A to F, with Level of Service A representing the best operating condition (i.e. free flow) and Level of Service F the worst (i.e. forced or breakdown flow).

Average Delay: is the average of all travel time delays for vehicles through the intersection.

95% Queue: is the queue length below which 95% of all observed queue lengths fall.

The results of the SIDRA analysis are attached in Appendix B. SIDRA results indicate that the subject site Brookton Highway crossovers, Hawkstrone Road crossover and T-intersection of Brookton Highway/Hawkstone Road operate with an overall of LoS A with minimal queues and delays during the morning and afternoon peak hours for the post-redevelopment and 10 year post-redevelopment scenarios. Accordingly, it is concluded that proposed redevelopment traffic has insignificant impact on the surrounding road network.

7.5 Impact on Surrounding Roads

The WAPC Transport Impact Assessment Guidelines (2016) provides guidance on the assessment of traffic impacts: “As a general guide, an increase in traffic of less than 10 per cent of capacity would not normally be likely to have a material impact on any particular section of road, but increases over 10 per cent may. All sections of road with an increase greater than 10 per cent of capacity should therefore be included in the analysis. For ease of assessment, an increase of 100 vehicles per hour for any lane can be considered as equating to around 10 per cent of capacity. Therefore, any section of road where the

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 23

structure plan traffic would increase flows by more than 100 vehicles per hour for any lane should be included in the analysis.” The proposed redevelopment will not increase traffic flows anywhere near the quoted WAPC threshold to warrant further detailed analysis. As detailed in Section 7, the proposed redevelopment will not increase traffic on any lanes on the surrounding road network by more than 100 vph therefore the impact on the surrounding road network is insignificant.

7.6 Impact on Neighbouring Areas

The traffic generated by the proposed redevelopment is not expected to significantly affect surrounding areas and the road network has been designed to accommodate this type and level of development traffic.

7.7 Traffic Noise and Vibration

It generally requires a doubling of traffic volumes on a road to produce a perceptible 3dB (A) increase in road noise. The proposed redevelopment will not increase traffic volumes on surrounding roads anywhere near this level.

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 24

8.0 Parking

The proposed redevelopment provides a total of 18 car parking spaces including 1 ACROD bay and 1 air and water bay. One loading/unloading bay will also be provided. It is considered that the proposed parking provision is sufficient to accommodate the needs of the proposed redevelopment.

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 25

9.0 Provision for Heavy Vehicles

The largest service vehicle which is expected to use the site is a 19m fuel tanker for fuel deliveries as per existing operations. Delivery and service trucks are anticipated to entry/egress the subject site via the existing crossovers on Brookton Highway. Fuel tankers and service trucks are expected to access the site during off peak periods. Turn path analysis was undertaken for service vehicles to confirm satisfactory entry, circulation and egress. The turn path diagrams are included in Appendix C.

t19.099.mz.r01a Page 26

10.0 Conclusions

This Transport Impact Assessment has been prepared by Transcore on behalf of Better Choice Fuel. The subject of this report is the proposed service station, workshop and tyre shop redevelopment at 770 Brookton Highway, Roleystone, in the City of Armadale. The subject site is presently occupied by a service station and workshop. Vehicle access to the site is available from crossovers on Brookton Highway and Hawkstone Road. As part of the proposed redevelopment, it is proposed to retain the existing Brookton Highway crossovers (crossover 1 and crossover 2) and Hawkstone Road crossover (crossover 3) without any modification. Accordingly, this redevelopment does not entail any works within the Primary Regional Roads reserve. The proposed redevelopment provides a total of 18 car parking spaces including 1 ACROD bay and 1 air and water bay. It is considered that the car parking supply satisfactorily meet the needs of the proposed redevelopment. The net addition of traffic when accounting for existing development traffic is conservatively estimated as +839 trips (daily), +67 trips (AM peak hour) and +61 trips (PM peak hour) on the surrounding road network. This traffic is relatively minimal and as such would not have any significant impact on the surrounding road network. Traffic modelling and analysis undertaken demonstrates the subject site crossovers and T-intersection of Brookton Highway/Hawkstone Road would operate at LoS A with minimal queues and delays for post-redevelopment and 10-year post-redevelopment scenarios. Accordingly, it is concluded that the redevelopment traffic has insignificant impact on the operations of the surrounding roads and intersection. In conclusion, the findings of this Transport Impact Assessment are supportive of the proposed redevelopment.
