1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Colston Budd Rogers and Kafes Pty Ltd has been commissioned by Kennards to

prepare a report examining the traffic implications of a proposed Kennards Hire

and two fast food outlets on Townson Road and Richmond Road at Marsden Park.

The site is on the south-eastern corner of the intersection, as shown in Figure 1.

1.2 The site is within the Marsden Park Industrial Precinct. The Marsden Park

Industrial Precinct comprises some 551 hectares, and has been rezoned for a

variety of employment, bulky goods, service and residential developments.

1.3 The Marsden Park Industrial Precinct will ultimately provide some 10,000 jobs and

1,200 dwellings, including 70 hectares of commercial land, 40 hectares of bulky

goods land, 206 hectares of industrial land plus a town centre and residential land.

1.4 The proposed development is within the area identified for business purposes on

the eastern side of Richmond Road. There is a service road between the

development sites and Richmond Road, with left in/left out access from Richmond

Road. The site is adjacent to the northern end of the service road.

1.5 A series of previous reports and studies have been prepared to examine the

overall transport requirements to accommodate development in the Marsden

Park Industrial Precinct. A series of transport, road and infrastructure works have

been agreed, either as part of approved development applications or are included

in developer agreements or Section 94 plans for the area.

1.6 The overall works to accommodate development of the Marsden Park Industrial

Precinct have therefore been identified, with mechanisms in place to facilitate

their implementation.

1.7 This report has been prepared in the context of those previous studies, and

concentrates on local implications with respect to access, parking provision,

servicing, internal layout and local traffic effects, through the following chapters:

o Chapter 2: describing existing conditions; and

o Chapter 3: assessing the implications of the proposed development.

2. EXISTING CONDITIONS

Site Location and Road Network

2.1 The site is on the south-eastern corner of the intersection of Richmond Road with

Townson Road at Marsden Park. The site location is shown in Figure 1.

2.2 Richmond Road connects Blacktown with Richmond. In the vicinity of the site it

has been upgraded to a four lane road with two traffic lanes in each direction,

clear of intersections, and a central concrete median. Provision is included for the

future upgrading of Richmond Road to six lanes.

2.3 Townson Road and Hollinsworth Road connect to Richmond Road at a signalised

north of the site. Townson Road provides a two lane two-way connection to

rural properties and residential dwellings east of Richmond Road. West of

Richmond Road, Hollinsworth Road provides access to bulky goods and industrial

areas in Sydney Business Park, which forms part of the Marsden Park Industrial

Precinct.

Previous Work

2.4 As previously noted, the Marsden Park Industrial Precinct comprises 551 hectares

of employment, bulky goods, residential and open space. Ultimately, the precinct

will provide some 10,000 jobs and 1,200 dwellings including 70 hectares of

commercial land, 40 hectares of bulky goods land, 206 hectares of industrial land

plus a town centre and residential land.

2.5 A series of previous reports and studies have been prepared to examine the

overall transport requirements to accommodate development in the Marsden

Park Industrial Precinct, as well as development of Sydney Business Park. These

reports include:

o The Marsden Park Industrial (Employment) Precinct Transport and Access

Study1; and

o Marsden Park Industrial Precinct DA 2 Transport Impact Assessment2.

2.6 These previous studies have identified a series of transport, road and

infrastructure works to accommodate development in the Marsden Park Industrial

Precinct. These works include:

o Townson Road will be extended west of Richmond Road, and form a four-

way intersection with Richmond Road (completed; extension now called

Hollinsworth Road);

o traffic signals at Richmond Road/Townson Road/Hollinsworth Road

intersection, with five lanes on the Richmond Road approaches (completed);

o closure of Hollinsworth Road once western Townson Road approach is

constructed (completed);

o upgrade of Richmond Road between Bells Creek and Grange Avenue to four

lanes (completed);

o upgrade of Richmond Road to six lanes ultimately; and

o left in/left out service road access between Richmond Road and a number of

lots on the eastern side of Richmond Road, south of Townson Road. The

northern part of this road has been constructed in the vicinity of the subject

site.

2.7 The above works have been completed or agreed, either as part of approved

development applications or are included in developer agreements or Section 94

plans for the area.

2.8 The overall works to accommodate development of the Marsden Park Industrial

Precinct have therefore been identified, with mechanisms in place to facilitate

their implementation. We understand that the service road on the eastern side of

Richmond Road will be extended south using Section 94 funding, in association

with the redevelopment of the relevant adjacent lots.

3. IMPLICATIONS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

3.1 The proposed development includes a Kennards Hire with a yard area of 910m2

and offices of 150m2, plus two fast food tenancies. Each food tenancy would

provide 50 seats and include a drive-through. On-site parking for the food

tenancies is proposed for 50 cars. Vehicular access is proposed via an entry/exit

driveway from Townson Road and an exit to the service road adjacent to

Richmond Road.

3.2 This chapter assesses the traffic implications of the proposed development

through the following sections:

parking provision;

access, servicing and internal layout;

traffic generation and effects; and

summary.

Parking Provision

3.2 Part 6.8 of the Blacktown City Council Growth Centre Precincts Development

Control Plan 2010 does not have specific parking requirements for equipment hire

facilities or fast food restaurants.

3.3 The Kennards Hire will operate in an arrangement where equipment for hire is

displayed in the yard area with a small number of customer parking spaces. 17

parking spaces are proposed. This provision is consistent with other equipment

hire facilities.

Colston Budd Rogers & Kafes Pty Ltd

CHAPTER 3

3.4 The RMS “Guide to Traffic Generating Developments” includes the following

parking requirements for drive-in take-away food outlets with drive-through

facilities, based on extensive surveys:

o the greater one space per two seats (internal) or one space per three seats

(internal plus external), plus queuing area within the drive through for five to

12 cars.

3.5 With 50 internal seats in each of the two food outlets, the parking requirement is

therefore 50 spaces. This is satisfied by the proposed provision of 50 spaces.

Parking provision is therefore appropriate.

3.6 The drive-through facilities for the two food outlets readily provide for some 10

to 12 vehicles from the pick-up point in accordance with the RMS guidelines.

Access, Servicing and Internal Layout

3.7 Vehicular access is proposed via an entry/exit driveway from Townson Road and

an exit to the service road adjacent to Richmond Road.

3.8 The driveways will be at the western (Townson Road) and southern (Richmond

Road) ends of the site, as far as practicable from the Richmond Road/Townson

Road intersection.

3.9 The proposed driveways will provide for the turning movements of cars and

service vehicles, in accordance with the Australian Standard for Parking Facilities

(Part 1: Off-street car parking and Part 2: Off-street commercial vehicle facilities),

AS 2890.1:2004 and AS 2890.2 – 2002.

Colston Budd Rogers & Kafes Pty Ltd

CHAPTER 3

3.10 Within the site, parking spaces will be typically 2.6 metres wide by 5.4 metres

long. Disabled parking spaces will be 2.4 metres wide, with a 2.4 metre wide

adjacent area for wheelchairs. The two-way circulation aisles will be a minimum

of 6.6 metres wide, and wider where aisles are used by service vehicles. These

dimensions satisfy the requirements of the Australian Standard for Parking

Facilities (Part 1: Off-street car parking and Part 6: Off-street parking for people

with disabilities), AS 2890.1:2004 and AS 2890.6:2009.

3.11 The internal layout will provide for rigid service vehicles up to 8.8 metres long to

enter the site, circulate and make deliveries before exiting in a forward direction.

Separate loading bays are proposed for each of the food outlets. Deliveries to the

fast food outlets will generally be less than one per day and be made at quieter

times such as early in the morning. Service vehicle swept paths are shown in

Figures 2 and 3.

Traffic Generation and Effects

3.12 As discussed in Chapter 2, the previous transport studies undertaken for the

Marsden Park Industrial Precinct assessed the overall future road and intersection

requirements to accommodate some 10,000 jobs and 1,200 dwellings including 70

hectares of commercial land, 40 hectares of bulky goods land, 206 hectares of

industrial land plus a town centre and residential land. The proposed

development will comprise part of the business zoned land on the eastern side of

Richmond Road.

3.13 The RMS “Guide to Traffic Generating Developments" recommends design

generation rates for fast food restaurants of 100 vehicles per hour two-way (sum

of arrivals and departures) during weekday afternoon peak hours for KFC. Our

CHAPTER 3

assessment is based on 100 vehicles per hour for each of the two fast food outlets.

The guide notes that, typically, about 50 per cent of customers are passing trade,

i.e. they would have passed the site regardless of their decision to visit the

restaurant.

3.14 The Kennards Hire would have a relatively low traffic generation, in the order of

some 10 vehicles per hour two-way.

3.15 Total traffic generation would therefore be some 210 vehicles per hour two-way

during weekday afternoon peak hours. In practice, a proportion of customers to

the development would visit more than one facility.

3.16 As previously noted, RMS guidelines suggest that the proportion of passing trade

for the fast food restaurants is some 50 per cent. For the proposed fast food

developments, fronting Richmond Road, and significant future passing traffic

volumes, the proportion of passing trade is likely to be higher.

3.17 As discussed in Chapter 2, a series of road and intersection works has been

identified to cater for traffic from the proposed development of the Marsden Park

Industrial Precinct, including the subject site. The works include:

o Townson Road will be extended west of Richmond Road, and form a four-

way intersection with Richmond Road (completed; extension now called

Hollinsworth Road);

o traffic signals at Richmond Road/Townson Road/Hollinsworth Road

intersection, with five lanes on the Richmond Road approaches (completed);

o closure of Hollinsworth Road once western Townson Road approach is

constructed (completed);

Colston Budd Rogers & Kafes Pty Ltd

CHAPTER 3

o upgrade of Richmond Road between Bells Creek and Grange Avenue to four

lanes (completed);

o upgrade of Richmond Road to six lanes ultimately; and

o left in/left out service road access between Richmond Road and a number of

lots on the eastern side of Richmond Road, south of Townson Road

(completed in the vicinity of the site).

3.18 The above works have been completed or agreed, either as part of approved

development applications or are included in developer agreements or Section 94

plans for the area.

3.19 Therefore, the road network will be able to cater for the traffic from the

proposed development.

Summary

3.20 In summary, the main points relating to the traffic implications of the proposed

development are as follows:

i) the site is within the Marsden Park Industrial Precinct;

ii) access will be via driveways from Townson Road (two-way) with an exit to the

service road;

iii) parking provision is appropriate;

iv) access, servicing arrangements and internal layout will be provided in

accordance with AS 2890.1:2004, AS 2890.2 – 2002 and AS 2890.6: 2009;

v) a series of road and intersections works has been identified in previous studies

to cater for development in the Marsden Park Industrial Precinct;

vi) these works have been completed or included in approved development

applications or developer agreements or Section 94 plans for the area;

vii) the road network will cater for the traffic from the proposed development.
