AECOM<strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Access</strong>, <strong>Traffic</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Park</strong>ing <strong>Plan</strong>51.0 IntroductionThe Town of Cambridge <strong>and</strong> the Department of Sport <strong>and</strong> Recreation are developing a design for the <strong>Wembley</strong><strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Park</strong>, which includes the State Netball Centre. AECOM was engaged to provide transport advice in thedevelopment of the Master <strong>Plan</strong> for the <strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>and</strong> to prepare a Comprehensive <strong>Integrated</strong><strong>Access</strong>, <strong>Traffic</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Park</strong>ing Assessment <strong>Plan</strong> for inclusion with the planning application submission.This report describes the transport provisions on site <strong>and</strong> how this was developed (including car parking, internalroads <strong>and</strong> access arrangements). It also assesses the impact of the site on the surrounding transport network,including any changes to this network. The report is segregated into the following sections:1) Introduction – outlines the project background, policies reviewed <strong>and</strong> proposed management of the site;2) Existing Situation – describes the existing situation with regards to l<strong>and</strong> use <strong>and</strong> transport infrastructure;3) Changes to the Surrounding Road Network – outlines proposed committed changes to the surroundingtransport network;4) Development Proposal – describes the proposed development;5) Transport Analysis – analyses the impact of the development on the surrounding transport network;6) Mitigation <strong>and</strong> Action – outlines the mitigation <strong>and</strong> action measures required; <strong>and</strong>7) Conclusion <strong>and</strong> Recommendations – summarises the findings <strong>and</strong> recommendations of this report.1.1 BackgroundThe Town of Cambridge adopted the <strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Development Master <strong>Plan</strong> on 28 June 2011. Councilresolved in part that, “the Master <strong>Plan</strong> be amended as necessary to incorporate changes required as a result ofthe traffic <strong>and</strong> parking study, including stakeholder consultation”.The precinct includes Matthews’ Netball <strong>and</strong> Pat Goodridge Centres. The development includes two stages. Thefirst, to be completed concurrently by the State <strong>and</strong> the Town of Cambridge, is to include the construction of theState Netball Centre, reconfiguration of the netball courts, construction of key transport works to support the site,<strong>and</strong> the construction of a new administration <strong>and</strong> change room building for the Perth Netball Association (PNA).The second stage is to be completed by the Town of Cambridge <strong>and</strong> is to include additional car parks, roadworks, paths, new ovals <strong>and</strong> Pat Goodridge Centre building works. Stage 2 is subject to Council endorsement<strong>and</strong> budgetary processes, however, this will require the removal of 700 hard st<strong>and</strong> parking bays that are currentlyprovided at the site <strong>and</strong> will be replaced with 260 hard st<strong>and</strong> parking bays to the east of the site.The Western Australian Government proposes the development of a State Netball Centre to house training forNetball WA’s elite (e.g. West Coast Fever) <strong>and</strong> state teams (e.g. WAIS, age-based squads, etc) as well as stateleague <strong>and</strong> association netball competitions. Outside of these times the venue could be used to host othersporting activities, exhibitions <strong>and</strong> events. <strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Park</strong> was endorsed by the State Government as thepreferred location for the State Netball Centre.<strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Park</strong> has been identified for redevelopment by the Town of Cambridge, who have developed aMaster <strong>Plan</strong> illustrating these works including new netball courts, ovals, parking, access points <strong>and</strong> club houses /changing rooms. The Department of Sport <strong>and</strong> Recreation worked with the Town to develop this plan further toaccommodate the State Netball Centre within the Matthews’ Netball Centre precinct.1.2 PoliciesThis report has been developed based on the Western Australian <strong>Plan</strong>ning Commission’s (WAPC) TransportAssessment Guidelines <strong>and</strong> Town of Cambridge parking <strong>and</strong> traffic policies have been reviewed.1.3 Management<strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Park</strong> is managed by the Town of Cambridge. VenuesWest will operate the State Netball Centre.PNA operates Matthews Netball Centre including the PNA building.T:\60218676 - <strong>Wembley</strong> PK TA\8 Issued Docs\8.1 Reports\Comprehensive <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Access</strong> RevF.docxRevision F - 8 February 2012
AECOM<strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Access</strong>, <strong>Traffic</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Park</strong>ing <strong>Plan</strong>61.4 Limitations on the Use of this ReportVarious assumptions about future transport patterns <strong>and</strong> behaviours had to be made to complete this TransportAssessment. These assumptions were based on observed patterns <strong>and</strong> behaviours <strong>and</strong> the anticipated changesthat will occur as a result of delivering the Master <strong>Plan</strong> works. It should be recognised that traffic forecasting doeshave limitations <strong>and</strong> that forecast traffic volumes should be taken as only indicative of the likely traffic that aparticular site may generate or the volumes that a road may carry.T:\60218676 - <strong>Wembley</strong> PK TA\8 Issued Docs\8.1 Reports\Comprehensive <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Access</strong> RevF.docxRevision F - 8 February 2012
