Info

Council identify the local roads and intersections directly impacted by the proposed event. A „Special Event Transport Management Plan‟ be prepared in accordance with the RTA‟s „Guide to Traffic & Transport Management for Special Events, Ver.3.4, 2006‟ (template provided on p.84), which addresses the relevant requirements for a Class 3 event (a copy is included for your reference). The plan should be approved by Council and NSW Police prior to the proposed event commencing. Appropriate signage should be erected to advise road users of the event and subsequent changes in traffic conditions. (Appendix B - Page SE2) Conditions of consent are recommended to address RMS requirements (See Condition 9(d)). Ownership In 1993 the Department of Transport and Communications transferred ownership of the Kempsey Aerodrome to Kempsey Shire Council under a Deed of Transfer. Nothing in the Deed of Transfer prevents the use of the Airport for non-Airport uses. (Appendix C - Page SE4). This was further clarified by letter of 13 January 2004 from the Federal Department of Transport and Regional Services (Appendix D - Page SE5). Economic Benefit to the Community The proposal has the potential to generate tourism in the Shire for the duration of the event which will have a flow-on financial stimulus for local businesses. The REMPLAN program accessed by the Regional Development Australia estimates the event will inject at least $288,000 into the local community. Traffic and Car Parking Roads and intersections leading to the proposed event have been assessed by Council‟s engineers and are considered appropriate for the event without the need for upgrade given the scale involved. Public carparking is to be provided onsite, accessible from Old Aerodrome Road. Only competitors will have access to the site via Airport Road. No parking will be permitted on any Council roads in the area. Recommended conditions require the applicant to install bunding or tape on the road reserves to restrict parking to the designated areas on the site. (See Condition 9(e)(iii)). Noise The proposed drag racing event will generate noise, primarily by the drag cars during a race. The applicant has submitted a noise report which provides assessment of the impacts of the proposed drag racing event on the nearby dwellings. The following is a summary of the results: Approximately eighty (80) races are proposed and each race lasts for approximately 30 seconds. This is a total of forty (40) minutes of race time Kempsey Shire Council FULL TEXT Minutes Ordinary Meeting 25 September 2012 Page 22
over the event day (from 9:00am to 3:30pm). All vehicles must be fitted with mufflers rather than open exhaust pipes and pre-race burnouts are prohibited. There are a number of noise receivers in the area, including dwellings on Airport Road and Old Aerodrome Road, the closest of which are approximately four-hundred (400) metres and five-hundred (500) metres from the runway respectively. The background noise level in the area is 30dBA and the noise generated by the vehicles is expected to be 98dBA (at 30m). The report calculates that when two (2) vehicles are racing simultaneously the noise level at the closest dwelling (400m) will be 73dBA by distance attenuation. The noise level of 73dBA at the closest dwelling is 43dBA above background (73dBA – 30dBA = 43dBA). For infrequent events higher increases above background noise are deemed to be acceptable (Noise Guide for Local Government – page 62). In this case, 43dBA above background would be acceptable so long as the event was only held a maximum of three (3) times per year. It is recommended that noise monitoring be required to be undertaken during the event (See Condition 9(g)). The results of the noise testing will be a leading factor in the consideration of any future development application for drag racing events at this site. Air Pollution The closest neighbouring dwellings are approximately four-hundred (400) metres away from the runway. Given that only a small number of “road legal‟ cars will have their engines running at any one time (those racing or warming up to race) it is considered air pollution would be no greater than that generated by road use and, as such, would not significantly impact on neighbours. Disposal of Waste (Rubbish & Effluent) A Waste Management Plan is recommended as a condition of consent which must be prepared in accordance with the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) guidelines Waste Wise Events Guide and approved by Council prior to the event. No less than fifteen (15) portable toilet facilities will be required to be provided onsite. Sufficient toilet facilities, including disabled facilities, will be available to all competitors and spectators (See Condition 9(c)). Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principals Any event, including a motorsport event, has the potential to generate some crime. To reduce this impact the applicant has proposed the following: a) The event be fully alcohol free with bag and esky checks at the gate. b) The proposed spectator access is off Old Aerodrome Road at the far eastern side of the site, and spectators will be restricted to that area, with the active runway blocking them from the airport buildings and aircraft parking areas. As such, theft or vandalism of airport infrastructure or private property at the airport would be difficult and is considered unlikely; Kempsey Shire Council FULL TEXT Minutes Ordinary Meeting 25 September 2012 Page 23
