Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 The scale of proposed development on the subject site is no greater than that envisaged by Caloundra City Plan. Consequently, the subject development has been allowed for in determining the trunk road infrastructure requirements and related financial contributions payable by development as part of Planning Scheme Policy No. 11.22 (Infrastructure Contributions for Road Network Infrastructure) 2009. Road projects nominated in Planning Scheme Policy No. 11.22 in the general area south of Caloundra Road that development (including the proposed development) is required to contribute towards include: • Baldwin Street (Bowman Road to North Street) - four lanes; • Burke Street (Blaxland Street to Pelican Waters Boulevard) - two lane extension; • North Street (Park Place to Baldwin Street) - road capacity improvements; • North Street (Baldwin Street to Pelican Waters Boulevard) - two lane extension; and • Landsborough Parade (Golden Beach) - intersection improvements. The actual financial contributions payable by the applicant towards projects on the major road network will be determined under the <strong>Council</strong> infrastructure contributions policy current at the time each stage of the development is carried out. INTERNAL MAJOR STREET SYSTEM A number of major streets, operating as trunk collector streets, are proposed to provide for connectivity through the site and connectivity with adjacent development. The internal trunk collector street system consists of the following three main links: • A north-south trunk collector street through the proposed business centre precinct in the eastern part of the site, connecting to Pelican Waters Boulevard and Michael Street; • An east-west trunk collector street through the multi-unit residential precinct in the middle of the site, connecting to the proposed north-south trunk collector street in the proposed business centre precinct to the east and Bledisloe Boulevard (via the existing New Holland Drive) to the west. The applicant had proposed a rather circuitous and ambiguous route for this street; however, to improve legibility and reduce the potential for lower-order streets in the development to be utilised by through vehicle movements, a more direct route through the multi-unit residential precinct is recommended. This route would connect with the north-south trunk collector street in the middle of the business centre precinct and run along the northern side of the proposed village park; and • An east-west trunk collector street through the low density residential precinct along the southern boundary of the site, connecting to the proposed north-south trunk collector street near the eastern end of the site and directly to the end of the existing Bledisloe Boulevard at the western end of the site. The applicant had proposed this route pass to the south of the existing rural lot on the site's southern boundary; however, some of the south-east corner of the rural lot would be required to achieve this connection and avoid the adjacent marine park. Since the rural lot does not form part of the application, a trunk collector street is not able to be provided at this location. Subsequently, it is recommended the trunk collector route be required to pass through and generally along the southern boundary of the subject site, but to the north of the rural lot. Page 62
Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 The above trunk collector streets are generally proposed to incorporate on-street bicycle lanes and on-street parking. Development will mostly have frontage to trunk collector streets; however, it is preferred that vehicle access is obtained via side streets or rear lanes. A shared path to cater for off-road bicycle movements is also proposed along each trunk collector street, with a foot path provided on the other verge. Provision of the local street system within the various residential and business precincts will be the subject of future development applications. It will be important for the local street network to be designed such that it does not provide a more direct route for vehicles than the proposed major collector street network, whilst still maintaining permeability for pedestrians and cyclists. MICHAEL STREET AND ANNING AVENUE To improve local connectivity, provide a legible street network and to help integrate the proposed development into the surrounding area, it is proposed that a street connection be provided to the existing residential area to the east of the site via Michael Street. The street connection also allows convenient access for existing residents to access the services available in the proposed business centre precinct. Moreover, the connection permits more efficient public transport services to be provided through proposed and existing residential areas in Pelican Waters and Golden Beach by reducing the need for inefficient bus route loops into dead-end areas. Michael Street has a wide reserve and an existing wide carriageway and is, therefore, the appropriate street with which to connect. Given its straight alignment and increase in traffic as a result of the development, the applicant should undertake works to help manage vehicle speeds while recognising its use as a bus route. Moreover, managing vehicle speeds will also encourage more traffic generated by the proposed development to utilise Pelican Waters Boulevard to travel to Landsborough Parade, rather than Michael Street and Anning Avenue. Subsequently, it is recommended roundabouts be constructed at the Carmel Street and Beryl Street intersections along Michael Street. Anning Avenue connects Michael Street with Landsborough Parade. It services a much larger existing residential area than Michael Street and therefore the proportional increase in traffic on Anning Avenue as a result of the proposed development is less. Nevertheless, given the straight and wide nature of Anning Avenue, it is considered reasonable the applicant should make some works contribution towards the management of speeds along it. Subsequently, it is recommended roundabouts be constructed at the Michael Street and Verdon Street intersections along Anning Avenue. Public Transport Network Bus routes through the site are able to be provided on the proposed trunk collector streets and generally allow for most development to be located within 400 metres walking distance of a bus stop. Provision of the proposed trunk collector streets will also facilitate more efficient bus routes to serve existing development in Pelican Waters and Golden Beach. Bus stop facilities would be required to be provided within the site as development occurs. Pedestrian and Cycle Network Comments on the general pedestrian and cycle network have been provided in the road network section of this Report. The following matters are additional, specific, infrastructure items recommended to service the development. Page 63
