INTRODUCTION
This is a report to the City of Maribyrnong in relation to an application by
Happy Receptions to redevelop and extend the existing building at 199
Sunshine Road, Tottenham into a two-storey reception centre with
associated car parking.
This report provides a parking and transport assessment of the proposed
development, including:







existing parking conditions within the vicinity of the site
the estimated parking demand of the proposed use
accessibility to sustainable transport

2.1
EXISTING CONDITIONS
LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT
The subject site is located on the southern side of Sunshine Road,
Tottenham. One vacant multi-purpose building with associated car parking
is currently located on the subject land. Vehicular access to/from the
subject site is provided via two separate crossovers directly to/from
Sunshine Road.
Land uses are predominantly residential, shop, office and industry in the
general vicinity of the subject site.
The subject land is currently zoned as Industrial Zone 3 and does front a
Road Zone (refer to the Planning Map in Appendix A).
2.2
ROAD NETWORK
Sunshine Road in the vicinity of the subject site is a 60 km/h primary
arterial road (under the control of VicRoads) that runs east-west between
Geelong Road, West Footscray and Market Road, Brooklyn. East of Market
Road, Sunshine Road continues as Wright Street, and then is downgraded to
a major road (followed by a collector road) after Anderson Street,
Sunshine. In the direct vicinity of the subject site, Sunshine Road is
undivided with two traffic lanes in each direction (with permitted kerbside
parking on the southern side outside peak ‘Clearway’ periods) as shown in
Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1: Sunshine Road in the vicinity of the subject site
2.3
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT MODES
The subject site has excellent access to the public transport network via
bus and rail service. Bus Route 220 (Sunshine to City) operates along
2
Ashley Street approximately 500 metres north-east of the subject site.
Tottenham Railway Station (on the Sunbury line) is located approximately
200 metres east of the subject site. Relevant bus and rail services in the
vicinity of the subject site are pictorially identified in Figure 2.2.

PARKING CONDITIONS
The southern side of Sunshine Road in the vicinity of the subject site is
restricted to ‘1P’ parking from 9:30am and 4:00pm Monday to Friday and
9:00am to 12noon on Saturday. ‘Clearway’ restrictions also apply from
6:30am to 9:30am and 4:00pm to 6:30pm Monday to Friday.
A site inspection was performed by Zav Traffic between 2:30pm and
3:00pm on Wednesday 1 April 2015. The site inspection identified no
vehicles parking along the southern side of Sunshine Road in the vicinity of
the subject site (refer to the photos shown within Figure 2.1 above).

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
It is proposed to redevelop and extend the existing building at 199
Sunshine Road, Tottenham into a reception centre with a maximum of 1789
patrons. The applicant has advised that 1789 patrons or multiple events
would only occur infrequently. Furthermore, the maximum number of
patrons would be known ahead of time in order to permit the start/end
times for multiple events to be staggered by at least an hour.
A total of 536 at-grade car spaces will be provided including 12 disabled
bays.
Vehicular access to/from the subject site will be via a widened left in/out
crossover positioned towards the western site boundary and a
relocated/widened left/in out crossover positioned towards the eastern
site boundary.
The redundant crossover will be reinstated with
kerb/channel.
All refuse collection will take place onsite using a private collection
service.

4.1
PARKING ASSESSMENT
STATUTORY CAR PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Table 1 to Clause 52.06-5 of the Maribyrnong Planning Scheme specifies the
number of car spaces required according to land use. A parking rate for
place of assembly is specified within Clause 52.06-5 of the Maribyrnong
Planning Scheme. The relevant rate is 0.3 spaces to each patron permitted
(rounded down to the nearest whole number) inclusive of patron, staff and
disabled parking. Application of the above place of assembly rate to the
1789 patrons proposed results in a Clause 52.06 requirement of 536 spaces
for the proposed use. While not specifically a Planning Permit requirement
(rather a matter for Building Permit), a total 12 car spaces will be
designated as disabled exceeding the rate of one disabled bay for every 50
car parking spaces or part thereof as per the Building Code of Australia.
Before a requirement for car spaces is reduced or waived (note: no waiver
is sought for the proposal), the applicant must satisfy the responsible
authority that the reduced provision is justified due to:



the availability of parking in the locality
the availability of public transport in the locality
any other relevant consideration.
4.1.1 AVAILABILITY OF PARKING IN THE LOCALITY
As discussed in Section 2.4 of this report, the single spot count confirmed
no cars parking along the southern side of Sunshine Road in the vicinity of
the subject site. While the spot count does not provide information during
all proposed operating hours, it does provide an indication that car parking
demands along the site frontage might not be in high demand.
4.1.2 AVAILABILITY OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT MODES
As discussed in Section 2.3 of this report, the site has excellent access to
the public transport system.
4.2
BICYCLE ASSESSMENT
Clause 52.34 of the Maribyrnong Planning Scheme specifies the number of
bicycle spaces required according to land use. A bicycle parking rate for
place of assembly is specified within Clause 52.34 of the Maribyrnong
Planning Scheme as set out in Table 4.1:

Accordingly a place of assembly use would be subject to a statutory
requirement of eight bicycle spaces. Notwithstanding the above, 10
bicycle spaces (on flat top rails) are proposed in general accordance with
the Bicycle Network Victoria Handbook (refer to Appendix B), including
four staff bays within a lockable compound. It should be highlighted that
shower facilities are not required as the total number of employee bicycle
spaces is less than five.
4.3
REFUSE AND LOADING
4.3.1 REFUSE
It is proposed to utilise a private collection service, with bins collected on
the subject site during early morning periods when no events are
scheduled (i.e. most of the car spaces should be vacant). The refuse
vehicle can either collect bins over vacant car bays or remain within the
accessway (as the proposed aisle is rather wide at 6.4 metres width). An
Autotrack swept path analysis based on an AS 2890.2:2002 12.5 metre
Medium Rigid Vehicle with 300mm clearance confirms access to/from the
subject site in forward direction with a mountable left in/out splitter
island on the westernmost crossover (refer to Appendix C).
4.3.2 LOADING
Clause 52.07 of the Maribyrnong Planning Scheme requires the provision of
a dedicated loading bay for the manufacture, servicing, storage or sale of
goods or materials. Accordingly, a place of assembly is exempt from any
loading requirements. Notwithstanding the above, the vast accessways
and numerous car parking spaces provide opportunity for any occasional
deliveries associated with the subject use outside scheduled event periods.
6
4.4
ADEQUACY OF PARKING SUPPLY
Car parking associated with the proposed use (i.e. a total of 536 car spaces
as per Section 4.1) will be accommodated on-site in accordance with
Clause 52.06 of the Maribyrnong Planning Scheme.
It should be highlighted that the subject site is well positioned to reduce
dependence on personal motor vehicle use with nearby access to public
transport (refer to Section 2.3).
Accordingly the proposal is not expected to have any adverse parking
impacts in the surrounding area.
4.5
ACCESS LAYOUT
It should be highlighted that if an accessway serves four or more car spaces
or connects to a road in a Road Zone, the accessway must be designed so
that cars can exit the site in a forward direction as per Clause 52.06-8. The
proposal meets the above requirement.
Clause 52.06-8 requires a corner splay or area at least 50 per cent clear of
visual obstructions extending at least 2 metres along the frontage road
from the edge of an exit lane and 2.5 metres along the exit lane from the
frontage, to provide a clear view of pedestrians on the footpath of the
frontage road. The area clear of visual obstructions may include an
adjacent entry or exit lane where more than one lane is provided, or
adjacent landscaped areas, provided the landscaping in those areas is less
than 900mm in height. The proposal meets the above requirement.
Clause 52.06-8 requires the provision of a passing area at the entrance at
least 5 metres wide and 7 metres long if the accessway serves ten or more
car parking spaces and is either more than 50 metres long or connects to a
road in a Road Zone. The proposal seeks to exceed the above requirement
at both entrances, with inclusion of a left/in splitter island to prevent right
turns. Relevant signage to restrict right turn movements can be provided
by way condition by VicRoads on the plans for endorsement.
While automatic gates are proposed to both crossovers, the applicant seeks
to keep both gates open during operating hours. The applicant has advised
that the first staff member of the day would open all gates upon arrival in
order to allow access for other employees and refuse vehicle. A minimum
six metre setback to the easternmost gate/crossover is proposed from the
property boundary to allow the first staff member of the day (mentioned
above) to completely store a passenger vehicle within the site upon arrival.
7
4.6
CAR PARKING
All proposed conventional car spaces will be at least 2.6 metres wide by
4.9 metre long with an accessway exceeding 6.4 metres in accordance with
Clause 52.06-8 of the Maribyrnong Planning Scheme. 12 disabled bays
(with associated shared zone) will be linemarked with a width of at least
2.4 metres and a length of 5.4 metres in accordance with AS/NZS
2890.6:2009.

TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT
As the proposal seeks to provide car parking provision in direct accordance
with statutory requirements (536 spaces for 1789 patrons as per Section
4.1) and arrival/departure trips for reception events would not likely occur
in the same hour (refer to Section 3), it would be reasonably conservative
to assume that each space will generate one vehicular trip per space
during peak operating hour periods (i.e. 536 vehicular movements). It
should be highlighted that the statutory car parking rate includes staff car
parking (who would usually arrive/depart well before/after patrons) and
the applicant has confirmed that a peak of 1789 patrons would be a rare
occurrence. Therefore, it would be much more reasonable to assume that
the car park will not typically exceed 70 percent occupancy of car parking
spaces or 375 vehicle movements during any peak hour.
As arrival/departure traffic will be restricted to left in/out (using splitter
islands within the verge), a proportion of patrons will have to perform a
right-turn somewhere along Sunshine Road in order to access subject site.
Given the limited extent of Sunshine Road to the west (refer to Section
2.1), it is expected that the majority of arrival traffic would be from the
east of the subject site. Therefore requirements for right turns on arrival
would form a low percentage, and likely facilitated by right-turns into
Dempster Street and back around through around to Sredna Street at the
signalised intersection to Sunshine Road. On departure, it is expected that
patrons seeking to travel east would first travel west in order to perform a
three-point turn in a permitted location within Olympia Street, then would
be able to perform a right-turn at the signalised intersection to Sunshine
Road in order to continue their journey. It is expected that vehicular
traffic volumes along Sunshine Road (both commercial and passenger)
would be at much lower during evening departure trips.
The above numbers are considered well within the capacity of the
surrounding road network. Notwithstanding the above, given the sites
proximity to sustainable transport modes it is considered that the above
traffic generation numbers could be slightly conservative.
Overall, the proposed development is not expected to have an adverse
impact on the surrounding road network.

CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis and discussions presented within this report, the
following conclusions are made for the proposed reception centre at 199
Sunshine Road, Tottenham:







the proposed on-site vehicle spaces and associated access
requirements are considered appropriate
car parking demands can be accommodated on-site in direct
accordance with statutory requirements
the subject site is well positioned to reduce dependence on personal
motor vehicle use with nearby access to public transport
10 bicycle parking spaces will be provided in excess of statutory
requirements
proposed refuse arrangements will occur on-site using a private
collection service
there is no statutory loading/unloading requirement; however, there
is opportunity on-site for turnaround over vacant car spaces outside
scheduled event periods
additional traffic generation is considered within the capacity of the
surrounding road network.
Overall the proposed reception centre development is not expected to
have any adverse parking or traffic impacts in the area.
