Wembley Sports Park Integrated Access, Traffic and Car Parking Plan

AECOMWembley Sports Park Integrated Access, Traffic and Car Parking Plan27Secondary Access via Selby StreetThe Master Plan retains the existing left-in and left-out accesses along Selby Street. These accesses willsupplement and relieve the Main Access. They also facilitate a more even traffic distribution and give directaccess / egress to and from the southern car park.Internal Road NetworkThe internal road layout requires two links: a North-South Link and an East-West Link. The North-South Linkconnects the Northern Access to the eastern car parks and service yard adjacent to the PNA administrationbuilding. A roundabout connects the two internal links to allow efficient flow, u-turn facilities and access to all thecar parks. The East-West Link connects the eastern car parks with the south-western and middle car park andthe Main Access. The Northern Access will be closed unless demand requires its use. Therefore the northernsection of the North-South Road will not be in use for the majority of the time.Drop off facilities are provided along the north and south of the East-West Link.For safety reasons full access into the south-western car park from the East-West Link will not be permitted.Right turn movements into the car park will be banned and this movement will be accommodated via theroundabout at the end of the East-West Road. The effectiveness of the right turn ban, together with theperformance of the right turn out of the south western car park into the East-West Road, needs to be monitoredduring the operations. Intervention may become necessary if the right turn ban is not properly adhered to.A diagram showing the internal road network and movements possible for Stage 1 and Stage 2 is shown inFigure 12 and Figure 13 respectively.4.7 ParkingThe layout provides a total of 1,000 formed parking spaces and approximately 200m of drop-off space in Stage 1as shown in Figure 12. The 1,000 bays will consist of:A new hard stand car park along Selby Street, consisting of 240 bays (south western car park);A new hard stand car park east of the new hard stand netball courts, consisting of 70 bays (middle carpark); andThe 700 existing bays, approximately 10 of which will be lost with the integration with the 240-bay carpark (southern car park).The parking supply will reduce to approximately 870 formed parking spaces in Stage 2. The 870 bays will consistof the new hard stand car bays identified above as well as:A new soft stand car park in the northeast corner of the site, consisting of 160 bays (north east car park);A new soft stand car park next to Halesworth Road, 120 bays (south east car park); andThe removal of 410 bays in the existing 700 car park (southern car park) to make way for a new oval.The Master Plan identifies the potential for a grassed area on the southwest corner of Wembley Sports Parkwhich could be used, with management intervention, for further overflow parking. The number of vehicles thiscould accommodate will depend on how it is laid out or marshalled, but could be in the order of up to 500 vehicles.Parking spaces are provided in separate car parking facilities to enable car parks to be closed during non peakperiods, thus allowing controlled management (refer to Section 6.0 for further details on the proposed Traffic andPeople Movement Plans located in Appendix C). Buses accessing the site will utilise part of the drop-off facilitiesto park as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13.In accordance with the Building Code of Australia, one (1) easy access bay should be provided for each 50 formalparking 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. Although AustralianStandards do not specify a distance, in each car park these spaces are located closest to the nearby buildings /facilities.T:\60218676 - Wembley PK TA\8 Issued Docs\8.1 Reports\Comprehensive Integrated Access RevF.docxRevision F - 8 February 2012
