Determination ReportMACARTHUR 2 COMMUTER CAR PARKSubmission Number Issues raised TIDC responseThe proposed activity does not include retail facilities.The existing pedestrian links to the station are proposed tobe upgraded and will be designed in accordance wit theprinciples of Crime Prevention Through EnvironmentalDesign (CPTED).Community submission(2), (4), (17), (23), (41),(43)Community submission(2), (4), (17), (36)Traffic impacts of Macarthur Gardens residents have notbeen included (both operation and construction vehicles).Traffic report short sighted in its projections and does notconsider late night Thursday shopping at MacarthurSquare in its calculations or peak holiday shoppingperiodsCommuter car park provision does not encourageincreased use of public transport – will not be used whenthere are distance and safety issuesPB (Traffic Consultant) advised that a conservative estimateof the likely future development of the area has beenincluded in the forecasts of traffic generation at a rate of 1% annual growth. (Based on 60 residential dwellings to bebuilt at Macarthur Gardens over the next eight years). This isdespite a general decline in traffic volumes around thestation since the opening of Macarthur Square ShoppingCentre in 2006, likely due to the redistribution of traffic.An addendum to the traffic report in the REF (ReferAppendix No.4) provides extended future traffic projectionsbased on additional traffic modelling. Macarthur Squarevehicular traffic is included in the modelling however, peakholiday traffic volumes have not been included, as it is aninfrequent, short-term peak that does not reflect usualtraffic volumes. Late night shopping on Thursdays wouldoccur after the projected peak use of the commuter car parkand would unlikely to result in additional conflict of trafficmovements.A number of off-site infrastructure improvements will bemade to the surrounding road network to assist safety andprovide the most direct route to the station. The car park isdesigned to provide adequate capacity for future railcommuters, which are likely to increase over time.The distance between the commuter car park and the railwaystation is comparable to other highly utilised car parks within1055342_2.DOC 10
