Ordinary Meeting <strong>of</strong> Council - 28 June 2005 1 / 18
8, 10 & 12 Nola Road, Roseville
Item 1
DA1333/04
17 June 2005
The anticipated increase in traffic due <strong>to</strong> the subject development would <strong>be</strong> 10 <strong>to</strong> 15 trips per
peak hour, an increase <strong>of</strong> approximately 10% over the counted peak hour traffic in Maclaurin
Parade. Although this is a more significant increase over the likely volumes in Nola Road, it
is unlikely <strong>to</strong> increase traffic in Nola Road above environmental capacity.
Many submissions refer <strong>to</strong> traffic in Nola Road. Constraints <strong>of</strong> the road itself are: narrow
pavement, steep embankment on southern side, with large trees at the <strong>to</strong>p, steep rise on
northern side, again with trees at the base. Any works <strong>to</strong> widen Nola Road would entail
major earthworks, a redesign <strong>of</strong> the whole road and may not even <strong>be</strong> physically possible.
There is not considered <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> sufficient anchorage length for any guardrail on the southern
side. It is therefore not possible <strong>to</strong> directly link the subject development with any feasible
works in Nola Road, and Development Engineers are not able <strong>to</strong> recommend any conditions
requiring such works.
In terms <strong>of</strong> the impact <strong>of</strong> the development on the wider road network, this was determined by
modeling the affected intersections at existing and post-developed use, using the INTANAL
program. The results contained within the traffic report show that the surrounding road
network would continue <strong>to</strong> operate at a ‘good’ level <strong>of</strong> service post development.
This analysis was done without taking in<strong>to</strong> account the effect <strong>of</strong> traffic flow on the Pacific
Highway and the Boundary Street and Clanville Road intersections either side. A traffic
study prepared by Council for Special Area 1 in 2003 concludes instead that in the afternoon
peak the Maclaurin Parade intersection is actually functioning at level <strong>of</strong> service F
(unsatisfac<strong>to</strong>ry) <strong>be</strong>cause <strong>of</strong> these constraints.
However, no measures are in place <strong>to</strong> <strong>of</strong>fset the effects <strong>of</strong> development in this area, since
major improvements <strong>to</strong> the Highway would <strong>be</strong> required, which is the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the
Roads & Traffic Authority. No additional conditions are applicable.
Vehicular access
Based on LEP 194, the proposal requires a minimum <strong>of</strong> 50 resident spaces and 8 visi<strong>to</strong>r
spaces. The proposal provides 58 spaces and therefore complies.
Proposed vehicle access and accommodation arrangements have <strong>be</strong>en assessed in the traffic
report against the Australian Standard 2890.1 2004 – “Off street Car Parking”, and comply.
Waste collection
The architectural drawing BatesSmart DA2-01 shows RSD at entry, which I assume
represents a roller shutter door. The most recent letter from BatesSmart also states that a
security gate will <strong>be</strong> provided <strong>be</strong>tween the street and the waste collection area. Council’s
Waste Services Manager will not accept this arrangement. The recommended conditions
prohibit doors or gates at the entry.
