ITEM NO:	2307 B1
SUBJECT:	Hill Road, Wentworth Point – Update on the proposed improvements on Hill Road
APPLICANT:	City of Parramatta Council
REPORT OF:	Traffic and Transport Investigations Engineer
WARD:	Rosehill
SED:	Parramatta

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to provide an update to Council regarding improvements on Hill Road, Wentworth Point.

OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATIONS:

That the update regarding improvements on Hill Road, Wentworth Point be noted.

Background

Council, at its meeting held on 14 March 2022 considered a report regarding Hill Road and resolved:

1. That a monthly update be provided to Ward Councillors regarding the status of the Federal Funding application under its Stimulus Program.

2. That should the outcomes of the Federal Funding be unsuccessful or not received by end of July 2022, that Council will endeavour to secure alternative funding for the traffic signal upgrade at Hill Road and Bennelong Parkway, to ensure these works are completed in the 2022/23 financial year.

3. That Council continue to contact the developer advising of Council’s resolution calling for the urgent construction of the planned roundabout and street crossing at the corner of Hill Road and Burroway Road.

4. Further, that updates on both projects referred to in this report be provided to each meeting of the Parramatta Traffic Committee and included in the minutes reported to Council until the projects are complete.

In addition, an email from Councillor Noack was received on 5 April 2022 requesting the following items also be included within each TEAG agenda:

1. As per Council resolution a report on the work being done on the traffic lights at the corner of Bennelong Parkway and Hill Road

2. As per Council resolution a report on work being done on the roundabout and pedestrian crossing at Hill Road and Burroway Road

3. Update on lighting on Hill Road. This is the change to LED lightning

4. Update on drainage for Hill Road

5. Haslams Creek Bridge Update on Bennelong Road

6. Crossing from Wentworth Common across Bennelong Road

Proposed Traffic Signals at Bennelong Parkway Intersection

Civil Works have now commenced for the traffic signals at the intersection of Hill Road and Bennelong Parkway. However, Ausgrid has advised Council that it has been impacted by a cable fault on a critical transmission feeder located in the Homebush area. Therefore, to ensure critical supply is maintained to the rest of the network while the fault is being repaired, Ausgrid has placed a pause on all excavations along the route of any supporting cable feeders. This includes some of the civil works required for Council’s Traffic Signals project at this intersection.

The current duration of the of the pause is forecasted to be until 18 July 2023. This date could change if there are unforeseen circumstances.

During the pause in June, the contractor has completed the following works:

- Decommissioned the street light poles on the grassed island and temporarily replaced these with solar lights.

- Streetlighting column foundations were installed on the slip lane.

- Drainage works were undertaken in the grassed island.

- Optus assets have been relocated.

In July during the pause period, the contractor is expected to complete the following works:

- Streetlighting works in Hill Road on the south side of Bennelong Parkway

- Works on the traffic control signal footings in Bennelong Parkway

- Works on the traffic control signal posts on the west side of Hill Road subject to approval from TfNSW

As a result of this disruption, the project is now likely to achieve practical completion in September 2023.

As advised in the previous TEAG reports on the subject, Council has a dedicated webpage which provides the community with updates on the projects. ‘What’s Happening Here’ corflute signs have been installed around the site which have a QR Code link to this page. The page can be accessed through the below link:

Federal Election Commitments

As part of a Federal Election promise, the Federal Government has committed $8.5 million for the upgrade of Hill Road, Wentworth Point. It is envisaged that these funds will be utilised to implement various components of the Hill Road Masterplan which include but are not limited to the following:

1. Lighting and street furniture upgrades in Hill Road

2. Stormwater Drainage Works

3. Holistic Public Domain Improvements

The relevant federal department has confirmed that the funding will be provided under the Infrastructure Investment Program. At the request of the department, Council is currently finalising a comprehensive Project Proposal Report which is anticipated to be submitted by the end of this month.

It is to be noted that while the funding is committed, Council is required to follow set processes before projects which will utilise these funds can commence.

Proposed roundabout and pedestrian crossing at Burroway Road intersection

In response to a Notice of Motion regarding the delivery of a proposed roundabout and pedestrian crossings at the intersection of Hill Road and Burroway Road, Wentworth Point, Council at its meeting on 24 April 2023 resolved in part as follows:

That Council allow Sekisui House Australia (Sekisui) to complete the planned and required project for a roundabout and pedestrian facilities at the intersection of Hill Road and Burroway Road, Wentworth Point, as this is the quickest and lowest cost option for the overall project based on advice from the developer.

Council provided feedback in early April 2023 to the latest Civil Design package submitted by the developer, Sekisui House. Since then, Sekisui have confirmed acceptance of the feedback and are working to update the plans for the final approval of Council prior to commencing construction. As per the latest advice from Sekisui on 5 July 2023, it is anticipated that the revised detail design will be received by mid-July 2023.

Pedestrian Refuge Island in Hill Road at Half Street (Updated)

Council has previously approved the concept design of a pedestrian refuge island in Hill Road, Wentworth Point immediately north of Half Street as shown in Figure 1 below (ref. PTC 2202 A4). The preliminary cost estimate for the works is $248,000. Council is considering funding this project within the 2023/24 financial year and is currently undertaking the detailed civil design of the facility.

Proposed pedestrian and cyclist bridge at Haslams Creek on Bennelong Parkway and pedestrian refuge island in Bennelong Parkway at Wentworth Common

Council has appointed BECA to detail design a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge over Haslams Creek at Bennelong Parkway. The project also includes designing pedestrian and cyclist paths to connect to the west, and a refuge island south of existing road bridge at Wentworth Common (subject to Sydney Olympic Park Authority approval).

The bridge detail design has been delayed due to the Environmental Impact Statement matters and confirmation of refuge island’s alignment. Once the design has been finalised it will be placed on public exhibition for community feedback, which is now anticipated in the second half of 2023. Subject to the results of consultation and reporting to Council, Council would seek external grant funding for construction in the 2023/24 financial year.

Drainage upgrades for Hill Road

The Technical Civil Works Design Brief of the Stormwater Masterplan for Hill Road has now been completed. Council staff are currently investigating funding opportunities in order to engage a consultant to undertake the study for the drainage masterplan. Currently, it is intended to utilise parts of the Federal Election commitments for the upgrade of Hill Road.

Lighting upgrades for Hill Road

Council is currently working with Ausgrid, SOPA and electrical contractor to find a solution to handover of the street lighting assets in Hill Road which were never formally handed over to Ausgrid by Auburn Council at that time. It is noted that the light poles and lamps do not

SUBJECT:	Development contributions projects nominated for completion 2023/24 to 2026/27
APPLICANT:	City of Parramatta Council
REPORT OF:	Senior Traffic and Transport Engineer
WARD:	Various
SED:	Various

Purpose

This report outlines current intentions for use of Development Contributions funds for traffic management and pedestrian safety projects for 2023/24 to 2026/27. The report also provides an opportunity for members of TEAG to provide comments on the prioritisation of projects.

OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATIONS:

That the information regarding proposed projects for 2023/24 to 2026/27 to be funded from Developer Contributions be noted.

Background

The City of Parramatta (Council) has two current development contribution plans, the City of Parramatta (Outside CBD) Development Contributions Plan 2021 (Amendment 1), effective from 9 May 2023, and the Parramatta City Centre Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan 2022, effective from 14 October 2022.

Council also has several legacy plans that contain funds in their reserves to be used in accordance with the plan. The plans outside of the CBD plan that still have significant funds are listed below:

· Carter Street Precinct Development Contributions Plan 2016

· City of Parramatta S94 Development Contributions Plan (formerly Hornsby LGA Land and Epping Town Centre)

· City of Parramatta S94A Development Contributions Plan (former Hills LGA Land)

· Parramatta Section 94A Development Contributions Plan (Amendment No. 5)

· Section 94 Development Contributions Plan – Carlingford Precinct (Contribution Plan No. 14)

The predecessor plans to the Parramatta City Centre Plan are listed below:

· The Parramatta CBD Development Contributions Plan 2007 (Amendment 5)

In addition to these funds Council also receives grants in varying amounts per year for pedestrian safety and traffic management projects. Generally, these grants are administered by Transport for NSW (TfNSW), though much of the funding is provided by the Federal Government.

Projects proposed for 2023/24 to 2026/27

The proposed projects to be funded from development contributions plans for traffic management and pedestrian safety projects from 2023/24 to 2026/27 are detailed in Tables 1 to 4 below.

Methodology of nominating projects

The methodology of selecting projects from the development contributions plans comprises a mixture of quantitative and qualitative analysis.

The rationale for undertaking a project encompasses various factors including the need to:

· rectify an accident-prone location

· enhance pedestrian safety at locations with a pedestrian desire line

· address concerns related to anti-social driving behaviors

· mitigate traffic speed-related issues

· safeguard vulnerable road users such as young and old pedestrians

· accommodate urban development growth

· upgrade existing non-compliant traffic facilities to current standards

· improve access from side streets to major roads

In understanding these needs, Council staff use knowledge of the Local Government Area, and feedback received from the community to identify potential projects. Relevant data including accident records, traffic and pedestrian volumes, road characteristics (e.g. speed limit, sight distance, and gradient), and adjacent land use information is analysed. Consideration is given to the potential future impacts of TfNSW infrastructure projects, state significant developments (e.g. schools) and other major developments. The probability of a project being funded from other sources is also considered.

Sketch plans for some of the nominated projects are shown in the attachment.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

This report is for information only and does not commit Council to any of the projects. The estimated cost of these projects is $8,500,000. These projects are proposed to be funded by Development Contributions, noting that the availability of funds will need to be reviewed each financial year to confirm availability.

ITEM NO:	2307 B4
SUBJECT:	Projects Recently Completed, Projects Currently Funded and Projects Lists for Consideration of Future Funding
APPLICANT:	City of Parramatta Council
REPORT OF:	Senior Traffic and Transport Engineer
WARD:	All
SED:	All

Purpose

This report provides information on traffic and pedestrian projects recently completed or currently funded and projects lists that City of Parramatta Council maintains for budget planning purposes.

OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. That the Projects Lists for proposed traffic works be received and noted.

2. That the two (2) traffic projects that have been completed since the last TEAG meeting be noted.

Recently Completed Projects

Information on recently completed projects is provided below.

Projects Completed by Council Through Federal and State Funding

1. Avenue of Oceania at Louise Sauvage Pathway, Sydney Olympic Park

Project Details: Installation of raised combined pedestrian and cyclist crossing

Total cost of the project: $275,807

Funding Details: Get NSW Active Program

Voluntary Planning Agreement, or other source of funding is obtained.

The Development Contributions Plan is reviewed and set approximately every 5 years. Therefore, the lists shown in Tables 37 and 38 of the City of Parramatta (Outside Parramatta CBD) Contributions Plan 2021 would also be set and fixed every 5 years (approximately) at the same time the Development Contributions Plan is approved by Council.

These projects have a range of purposes such as improving pedestrian safety and amenity; improving sight distance (or reducing speed where sight distance is limited); upgrading an existing facility; reducing congestion; guard rail or barriers; and reducing illegal or unsafe driving. The list includes projects that would be on the Black Spot list except they have a low Benefit Cost Ratio and would not attract grant funds. These projects are also considered for grant funding applications including new proposals that would be considered in the next review of the Development Contributions Plan.

· Traffic Projects List – within the Parramatta City Centre

This list includes projects that are located within the Parramatta City Centre. These projects will generally be funded from the Parramatta City Centre Developer Contributions Plan.

· Black Spot Projects List

This list is for the projects where funding is being or is proposed to be sought, from the State or Federal Government under their Black Spot and Safer Roads Programs.

The Black Spot locations generally have a high number of collisions, and the proposed work is forecast to have a significant reduction on accidents. Projects under Black Spot Program are ranked on Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR); whereas projects under Safer Roads Programs are ranked on Safety Performance Indicator (SPI). The individual funding programs also have different criteria regarding the number of accidents with injuries that have occurred. At present, a minimum of 2 injury accidents over a 5-year period is generally required for a project to be eligible for funding.

· List of Traffic Projects Supported by Community Petition

This list includes locations where Council has received requests from at least 50% of households within the street for traffic calming to be installed in the street or part of the street. This support can be in the form of a petition or letters. Meeting this requirement demonstrates that the local community wants this treatment in the street. These streets often do not have a specific hazard, crash history, or concentration of vulnerable road users such as pedestrians. Often, in streets not on the list, many residents do not support traffic calming and have concerns regarding the installation of traffic calming, particularly in regard to perceptions of noise, loss of parking, and prioritisation of funds.

Development Contribution Funds are not suitable for these projects as these projects are not related to supporting growth in the area. These projects are generally unfunded.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

Council’s Traffic and Transport Services maintains four (4) projects lists with the funding options as detailed below:

· Development Contributions Plan list - outside the Parramatta City Centre:

These projects have been grouped into 3 categories of priority (high, medium, and long term). It is proposed to deliver the high priority projects from 2021/22 to 2025/26 using Development Contributions fund for part, or all projects.

Applications are also lodged for State and Federal Government funding for projects that would meet the requirements of funding applications at the time of lodgement. Applications are generally lodged between August and October each year for consideration under these programs.

· Traffic Projects List – within the Parramatta City Centre:

These projects will generally be funded from the Parramatta City Centre Section 7.11 Contribution Plan (known as Civic Improvement Plan, CIP), unless otherwise noted.

· Black Spot Projects List:

These projects will generally be funded from the State or Federal Government under their Blackspot and Safer Roads Programs. Applications are lodged between August and October each year for consideration under these programs.

· List of Traffic Projects Supported by Community Petition:

These projects could be funded from General Revenue. Councillors may wish to use part of the ward initiatives budget to deliver these projects.

Approved External Funding for the 2022/23 Projects is detailed below:

· Council has received a 100% funding offer totalling $454,000 under the FY22/23 Australian Government Black Spot Program for four (4) traffic projects. Refer to ‘Blackspot Projects List’ section of the attachment for details.

· Council has received a 100% funding offer under the State Government’s FY22/23 Get NSW Active program for the construction of the following traffic facility projects:

- Avenue of Oceania at Louise Sauvage Pathway, Newington - $240,000 for the construction of a combined pedestrian and cyclists crossing

- M4 Cycleway at Good Street and Alfred Street, Granville - $600,000 for the construction of two combined pedestrian and cyclist crossings
