AECOMWembley Sports Park Integrated Access, Traffic and Car Parking Plan204.0 Development Proposal4.1 Features of the Master PlanThis section describes the proposed development. A Master Plan for the site is shown in Figure 13. Theproposed Master Plan for the site at the completion of stage 1 (see Figure 12) includes:- An un-signalised three way access off Salvado Road (Northern Access). This access is to be used asdemand dictates.- A signalised four way access off Selby Street at its junction with Alderbury Street. This is considered as theMain Access to the site. This access is designed to restrict east-west through movements and to providesafe pedestrian crossings across Selby Street, Alderbury Street and the Main Access.- A left in access off Selby Road south of Kirwan Street (existing access).- A left out egress into Selby Road north of Whitfeld Street (existing access).- Two internal roads: one travelling east-west and one north-south. These roads connect the Salvado Roadand the Main Access to each other via a roundabout. They also provide access to the drop off and carparking facilities.- Two drop off areas along the East-West Road, one on the north and one on the south. Both drop off areasare over 100m in length which includes allowance for bus parking / drop off.- A roundabout at the junction of the two internal roads to provide better flow, a u-turn facility for vehiclesdropping off, and for access to parking.- Access to and from the south-western car park via a give way treatment. For safety and operational reasonsa right turn into the car park is not provided at the access intersection. This movement can beaccommodated via the roundabout at the eastern end of the East-West Road.- A total of 1010 car parking bays spread throughout the site. The car parks closer to the venues (and thusmore frequently used) are to be hard stand and the more remote, less used car parks, are to be soft stand(grassed). To prevent damage during the winter months the soft stand should be reinforced with a plasticcell. The soft stand will require irrigation.- Pedestrian and cycling paths connect the sporting facilities to the external pedestrian and cycle network.They have been designed for effective access and circulation of the site. Crossing points connecting thepaths to the facilities are provided along the internal East-West Road.- In accordance with the Building Code of Australia one (1) easy access bay is to be provided for each 50parking spaces. Based on the standards, 21 easy access bays will be required in Stage 1, which could bereduced to 18 following the reduction in car parking resulting from the Stage 2 development. The easyaccess parking spaces are provided throughout the car parks. Although Australian Standards do not specifya distance, in each car park these spaces are to be located as close as possible to the nearby buildings /facilities. Ramp accesses to these bays are not to exceed 1:14 slopes.- Access for garbage trucks via a cross over on the East-West Road with turnaround area. Service deliveriescan be completed in the drop off area, as deliveries will be undertaken during the weekday and will notimpact on the peak time (Saturdays during winter).At the completion of stage 2 there will be modifications to the car-parking with a reduction from 1010 car parkingbays to 870 bays. As mentioned previously, the 21 easy access bays provided in stage 1 can be reduced to 18based on a provision of 1 easy access bay for every 50 standard parking bays.T:\60218676 - Wembley PK TA\8 Issued Docs\8.1 Reports\Comprehensive Integrated Access RevF.docxRevision F - 8 February 2012
