4.6 TRANSPORT AND MOVEMENT
4.6.1 OBJECTIVES
•
Establish a fully integrated transit oriented development that enables a shift to public and active transport modes.•
Locate uses and activities that will benefit from and generate demand for transit infrastructure and services within transit oriented precincts.•
Provide spatial patterns of development that make it easier to plan and efficiently operate public transport services.•
Provide a road network that is permeable and facilitates efficient and direct pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle movement.•
Consider equally the safety, convenience, and comfort of cyclists, pedestrians, public transport users, motorists, and the surrounding community when planning and designing streets.•
Provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure Toolern develops as a transit oriented community.•
Meet DDA requirements so as to deliver suitable access to those with limited mobility.4.6.2 IMPLEMENTATION
The objectives for transport and movement are met by implementation of the following:
» Plan 5 – Future Urban Structure
» Plan 15 – Road Network Plan
» Plan 17 – Walking and Trails
» Plan 16 – Public Transport
» Planning and Design Guidelines set out in 4.6.3 including:
− Table 9 – Road Hierarchy
− Road Cross-sections
4.6.3 PLANNING AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
GENERAL
The following planning and design guidelines must be met:
•
Orient roads in a north-south and east-west grid, except in areas where natural or physical constraints do not permit.•
Provide pedestrian and cycle through-routes to maintain access and permeability where vehicle through routes are not possible.The following planning and design guidelines should be met:
•
Arrange arterial and sub-arterial roads to achieve a grid network of one mile (1600m).•
Avoid the use of culs-de-sac except in areas where natural or physical constraints require them.•
Provide pedestrian and cyclist through-routes where culs-de-sac are required.•
Create small breaks in medians to serve as pedestrian and cyclist refuges where pedestrian and cyclist routes cross divided roads.ARTERIAL ROADS
The following planning and design guidelines must be met:
•
Realign Mt Cottrell Road – north of the rail corridor – to the east to protect native vegetation and avoid low lying land.•
Realign Mt Cottrell Road – south of the rail corridor – to the west to create a corridor to protect native vegetation.•
Allocate the outer lane of PPTN routes for priority bus services.•
Construct wire rail safety barriers where trees are to be planted in central medians.•
Provide access to buildings fronting arterial roads from service roads, local roads or lanes only.SUB-ARTERIAL ROADS
The following planning and design guidelines must be met:
•
Place controlled intersections where sub-arterials meet arterials and sub-arterials.•
Provide access to buildings fronting sub-arterial roads from service roads, local roads or lanes only.•
Place controlled intersections where arterials, sub-arterials and local streets intersect with sub-arterials.•
Accommodate walking and cycling in dedicated paths.•
Apply VicRoads Access Management Policy 6 to the section of Ferris Road between Shogaki Drive and Alfred Road adjacent to the Major Activity Centre.CONNECTOR AND LOCAL ROADS
The following planning and design guidelines must be met:
•
Create a road network which reinforces the grid of arterial roads.•
Create a road environment conducive to low vehicle speeds and pedestrian and cyclist priority.•
Place controlled intersections where connector roads and local roads intersect with collector roads.•
Provide vehicle lanes of 3.5 metres on connector roads designated as proposed bus routes.ROAD AND RAIL GRADE SEPARATION
The following planning and design guidelines must be met:

Provide or make provision for grade separation (underpass) at the Melbourne-Ballarat railway line at Mt Cottrell Road (overpass) and Ferris Road crossing points (underpass).•
Maintain connections to open space, pedestrian and cyclist networks and key land uses surrounding grade separated crossing points.•
Physically separate pedestrian and cyclist connections associated with road underpasses from traffic.•
Ensure the Mt Cottrell Road underpass accommodates heavy trucks, buses and freight movement.•
Achieve a high-degree of surveillance at below grade pedestrian and cycle routes.•
Maximise capacity on Ferris Road and Mt Cottrell Road before construction of underpass.TOOLERN CREEK CROSSINGS
The following planning and design guidelines must be met:
•
Provide three vehicular crossing points over Toolern Creek at Bridge Road, Abey Road and the eastwest arterial.•
Locate the Bridge Road creek crossing proximate to the heritage listed Bridge Road Bridge and provide 4 vehicle lanes.•
Retain the existing Bridge Road Bridge for pedestrians and cyclists.•

4.7 UTILITIES AND DEVELOPMENT STAGING
4.7.1 UTILITIES OBJECTIVES
The Utilities objectives are:
•
Ensure development occurs in an orderly and sustainable manner and makes best use of existing infrastructure.•
Ensure that where possible utilities are either constructed in or relocated to locations that will not result in the sterilization of otherwise developable land.•
To provide all developed lots, to the satisfaction of the relevant authority, with:•
a potable water service;•
electricity;•
a reticulated sewerage service;•
a recycled water service, where available;•
drainage;•
gas; and•
telecommunications.4.7.2 IMPLEMENTATION
The objectives for utilities are met by implementation of all the following:
» Meeting requirements of the relevant service authority/provider.
» Planning and design guidelines set out in Section 4.7.3.
» Plan 18 - Utilities
4.7.3 PLANNING AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
The following planning and design guidelines must be met:
•
Provide new electricity supply infrastructure (excludinginfrastructure to support cables with a voltage greater than 66kv) underground (excluding substations),
•
Identify new substations at the subdivision design response stage to ensure effective integration with the surrounding neighbourhood and to minimise amenity impacts, and•
Provide access to each new lot to be via a sealed road.The following planning and design guidelines should be met:
•
Ensure development staging does not create circumstances in which residents are unreasonably isolated from commercial and community facilities or public transport.•
Integrate development with adjoining developments, including the timely provision of connecting roads and walking/cycling paths.•
Remove existing above ground electricity lines along the local and arterial road network.•
Relocate the existing gas pipeline and easement to ensure the efficient use of the urban land.4.7.4 STAGING
Generally, staging will be determined by the development program of developers within the precinct and the availability of infrastructure services. Within this context, the following planning and design guidelines should be met:
•
Development staging should not create circumstances in which residents will be unreasonably isolated from commercial and community facilities or public transport.•
Development staging should, to the extent practicable, be integrated with adjoining developments, including the timely provision of connecting roads and walking / cycling paths.•
Access to each new lot to be via a sealed road.•
Development should be staged so that large fauna, if present, do not become land locked.66
Section 5 - Precinct Infrastructure Plan5.1 INTRODUCTION
This Precinct Infrastructure Plan sets out infrastructure and services required to meet the needs of development of the precinct. The infrastructure and services are to be provided through a number of mechanisms including:
•
Subdivision construction works by developers;•

As part of subdivision construction works, new development must meet the cost of delivering the following infrastructure:
•
Connector roads and local streets, including culverts;•
Local bus stop infrastructure;•
Landscaping of all existing and future roads and local streets; and•
Intersection works and traffic management measures along arterial roads, collector streets and local streets.Note: Subject to the approval of the collecting agency, part or all of the cost of works on intersections included in a Development Contributions Plan may be able to be provided as in-kind works in lieu of cash payment.
•
Council approved fencing and landscaping (where required) along arterial roads.•
