COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 CR11.155 ROAD IMPROVEMENT - CAPITAL WORKS FIVE YEAR PROGRAM FROM 2012/13 PURPOSE OF REPORT: To review a five year program for road improvement capital works projects. This program will assist with grant applications and the preparation of road designs and be used to formulate the Draft 2012/2013 Council Budget. BACKGROUND: In December 2010 (Item CR10.56), Council considered a Road Improvement Capital Works Program for 2011/2012 to 2015/2016. It is now proposed that Council reviews and upgrades the program for the next five year period recognising the works that have been budgeted to be carried out in the 2011/2012 financial year. The recommended program was developed from Council's previously approved works and community requests with an objective to:- reduce traffic accidents; manage traffic speeds; reinforce the road hierarchy; provide cyclists and pedestrian facilities; upgrade the streetscape; recognise adjacent land developments. The criteria for prioritising work to be considered with this program includes:- roadway capacity and efficiency; traffic accident statistics; traffic speed and volume statistics; community and Councillor requests; public transport requirements; pedestrian, cyclists and adjacent property requirements. Adoption of a plan of improvement is desirable due to the complexity of preparing designs in conjunction with existing public utilities, the time to obtain the necessary statutory approvals and to carry out community consultation. Further, the program allows for grant submissions to be prepared in line with Council approved direction and additional funding may be obtained if successful. DETAILS: Road Network The Council maintains approximately 166 kilometres of road. The road design standards conform with established Australian Standards and guidelines from Main Roads WA. All road traffic management signs and lines on all projects are required to be approved by Main Roads WA in accordance with the Main Roads WA Act.

COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 Council has established a road hierarchy that is coordinated with Main Roads WA and the West Australian Planning Commission. The road classifications within the Town's municipality are:- Primary distributor roads. These provide for major regional and inter-regional traffic movement and carry large volumes of generally fast moving traffic. These include Mitchell Freeway and West Coast Highway in the Town. These roads are managed by Main Roads WA; District distributor roads. These carry traffic between areas and generally connect to a primary distributor road. They generally form a grid which would ideally be spaced around 1.5 kilometres apart. They include Cambridge Street, Oceanic Drive, Grantham Street, Lake Monger Drive, The Boulevard, Herdsman Parade, Railway Parade, Harborne Street, Selby Street, Empire Avenue, Durston Road, Bold Park Drive, Howtree Place and Brookdale Street. They are managed by Local Government; Local distributor roads. These roads carry traffic within a residential cell and are linked to district distributor roads at the boundary of the cell. Local distributor roads distribute the traffic to local residential precinct cells. They include Kimberley Street, Ruislip Street, Kirkdale Avenue, Alderbury Street, Ulster Roads, Kalinda Drive, Brompton Road, Chipping Road and Kingsland Avenue. They are managed by Local Government; Access Roads. These provide access to abutting properties with amenity, safety and aesthetic aspects having priority over vehicle movement function. These roads are bicycle and pedestrian friendly. They are managed by Local Government. Recognising the varying demands on the various road classifications, the Council is challenged to develop different levels of serviceability for each criteria. Issues 1. Council has been progressing a road strategy for the precinct of West Leederville since February 2005. The initial objectives were to:- ensure district traffic remains on district roads; reduce traffic accidents; provide a bicycle and pedestrian friendly environment. The coordination of some capital works initiatives has required some projects to be deferred as a result of:- (a) The work scope associated with redevelopment of Subiaco Oval. Refer October 2008 reports IC08.86, 87 and 88; (b) The West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study. This was adopted by Council in December 2010. (Report DV10.122). The other projects listed have all progressed through successive years of review and it is the Council priorities which require consideration. Council may also wish to completely delete projects if they consider they are not warranted. When the work on the district roads has been completed in West Leederville there will be an assessment of West Leederville local area traffic management requirements and funds are proposed in the recommended program to accommodate this work.
