ASSESSMENT REPORT
1.
BACKGROUND
The Inner Metropolitan Development Assessment Committee (IMDAC) has considered
Development Application 155/M011/14 on three separate occasions and deferred its decision.
On 11 September 2014, IMDAC considered the proposal and resolved to defer a decision on the
matter. In response to the issues raised by IMDAC, the applicant made the following amendments
to the proposal:

removed the rear commercial space on the first floor and replaced this space with three
north facing apartments – this reduced the commercial space by approximately 228m2 and
increased the number of apartments from 18 to 21

provided a building setback of one metre from Little King William Street to allow for future
public realm improvements and to improve access and manoeuvring for waste collection
vehicles

provided a Student Accommodation Facility Management Report, confirming that the
residential apartments are to be used as student accommodation only

submitted a parking survey to identify and provide a better understanding of the existing
car park occupancy and turnover rates on King William Street (between College and
Fullarton Roads).
On the 9 October 2014, IMDAC further considered this application and resolved to defer a decision
and requested that the applicant consider:

further improving the commercial car parking ratio to better align with the Development
Plan requirements
P2
26 March 2015
 resolving the awkward passageway access to the rear ground floor commercial space and
apartments on the first floor
 further detail around the apartment lobby area on level two.
On the 11 December 2014, IMDAC further considered this application and resolved to defer a
decision and requested:

the review/redesign of access to, and the layout and design of the car park to comply with
Australian Standards.
This report is supplementary to that already considered by IMDAC on 11 September 2014, 9
October 2014 and 11 December 2014. It provides an assessment of the new material provided by
the applicant and is not a full assessment of the whole proposal against the Development Plan.
The previous three reports are reproduced in the DAC dropbox for reference.

ASSESSMENT
2.1. Scope
This assessment focuses on the review of the access to, and the layout and design of the
basement car park to ensure it complies with the relevant Australian Standards.
The following documents are included in the ATTACHMENTS:

amended plan showing the car park layout and ground floor plane

amended Traffic Impact Statement

letter from GTA Consultants outlining their review of the car park layout

memos from GHD Consultants outlining their independent car park review findings.
2.2. Car park layout
GTA Consultants have undertaken a review of the car park layout against the relevant
Australian Standards. Their findings are provided in the ATTACHED letter (dated 13 February
2015). In response to this review, the applicant amended the proposal as follows:



The inclusion of one disabled car park space and associated shared zone.
Modification of the ramp grades to meet Australian Standards.
Provision of an additional bicycle rack outside the building’s King William Street
entrance for visitor use (bringing the total to 4).
GHD Consultants were subsequently commissioned to provide an independent review of the
car park access and layout. This review identified several further minor amendments which
the applicant responded to. GHD subsequently provided a follow-up memo to confirm that the
car park layout and access meets the relevant requirements set out in AS2890.1.
A copy of the GHD advice (dated 16 March 2015 and 19 March 2015) is included in the
ATTACHMENTS.

CONCLUSION
The subject land is situated in the Urban Corridor Zone (Business Policy Area) which
encourages medium to high density residential apartments above compatible non-residential
land uses. The proposed development meets the key elements of the desired character
statement and principles of development control. The car park access and layout also meets
the relevant requirements under the Australian Standards and Building Code of Australia.

Public Transport
Figure 2.9 shows the subject site in relation to existing public transport routes within its
vicinity.
Figure 2.9: Public Transport Map
Subject
Site
Figure 2.9 above, shows that the subject site is located in close proximity (within 400
metres) of bus stops along North Terrace. Bus services that depart North Terrace to the
City have services approximately every 2-3 minutes during the AM and PM peak hours
and every 5-10 minutes on weekends. These stops include services operating between
Paradise Interchange, the CBD, Newton, Athelstone, Adelaide Oval, Magill, Henley
Beach, Rostrevor, Marion Shopping Centre, St Mary’s, Marden and West Lakes
Shopping Centre.
Additional bus services are also available at bus stops on Rundle Street approximately
700 metres to the east. This stop includes services between Glen Osmond, the CBD and
Paradise Interchange.
Based on the range of bus services that access these stops the site is easily accessible
by public transport and has easy access to major employment and retail hubs including
the CBD, The Parade and West Lakes Shopping Centre.
2.3.2
Pedestrian Infrastructure
Pedestrian paths are provided along each side of King William Street, College Road
and Fullarton Road. Kerb ramps and island refuges are provided at each approach to
the College Road / King William Street intersection for a formal crossing point.

No formal footpaths are provided along Little King William Street given its design and
use as a laneway.
Access to the wider pedestrian network from the site is good. Pedestrian paths are
provided through Rundle Park (West of the site) allowing easy walking access to the
East Terrace and Rundle Street precincts, an approximate 15 minute walk from the site.
Similarly The University of Adelaide and The University of South Australia’s City East
Campus are accessible via Rundle Park and North Terrace, an approximate 20 minute
walk from the site.
2.3.3
Cycle Infrastructure
Dedicated on-street cycle lanes are provided along King William Street in each
direction. No on-street bicycle lanes are provided along College Road or Fullarton
Road. There is sufficient width along Little King William Street for cyclists to share the
carriageway with vehicles.
Access to the wider cycling network is facilitated via shared pathways through Rundle
Park as well as with on-street bicycle lanes on Rundle Road, and bus lane space on
Botanic Road allowing for cyclists to safely share the carriageway. Additionally the
proposed Beulah Road Bicycle Boulevard will be developed in close proximity to the
site allowing a safe corridor between the eastern suburbs and the CBD.
2.3.4
Local Car Sharing
Car sharing is a commercial alternative to car ownership for individuals and businesses
and allows members to access shared vehicles for periods of time. This is achieved
through hourly rates and subscriptions to the service. Current car sharing services are
provided by GoGet in the Adelaide City Council area.
Car sharing is best suited to locations with good access to other transport modes such
as public transport, walking and cycling such as the proposed site. There are no other
car sharing pods currently in close proximity to the subject site.

Based on the analysis presented above, the provision of 41 bicycle parking spaces is
well above the statutory requirements for the proposed development. It is expected
that residential visitors would be able to use the bike parking located within the car
park by making prior arrangements to access this area. Commercial and retail visitors
would use the visitor bicycle parking near the King William Street frontage.
4.1.2
Bicycle Parking Layout
16 wall mounted bicycle storage spaces will be provided within the basement car park
for use by employees, residents and residential visitors. The racks will be situated above
the surface of the car park at a level that will be above the area required for vehicles

when reversing out of the parking spaces opposite. The bike racks will also not therefore
impinge on the available aisle width.
The bicycle parking lengths will exceed the minimum requirements set out within
AS2890.3:1993. GTA notes that whilst storing and retrieving bicycles will be undertaken
within the parking aisle, the anticipated level of traffic within the car park will be low.
The mounting and unmounting of bicycles will be satisfactory within the aisle area. GTA
does not consider the provision of separation barriers to be required.
One bicycle storage rack will be provided in each of the 21 apartments for use of the
residents. This reflects the desire by some residents for additional security, particularly if
the bicycle is of higher value.
4 bicycle storage racks will be provided within the site along the King William Street
frontage for use by commercial and retail visitors. GTA understands the bicycle storage
racks will store bicycles vertically and a minimum 1.5 metres will be provided behind the
parking racks to allow sufficient width for bicycles to be stored and retrieved. Signage
will also be provided adjacent to these bike parks advising visitors to the building that
there is additional bike parking available in the basement.
4.2
Walking Network
Pedestrian access to the proposed building will be provided via a pedestrian path to King
William Street. An additional pedestrian access will be provided for access to the car park
from Little King William Street. GTA understands this access point will be controlled with a
swipe card entry.
Two lifts and stairs will allow residents / visitors to access upper levels within the building.

Car Parking Provision
5.1.1
Statutory Car Parking Requirements
Statutory requirements for the provision of car parking are set out in the City of
Norwood, Payneham and St Peters Development Plan. Principles of Development
Control (PDCs) relating to the provision of car parking rates are as follows:
“123 Development should provide off-street vehicle parking in accordance with rates
contained in Tables NPSP/8 and 9.
125 Within the Urban Corridor Zone and the District Centre (Norwood) Zone, a lesser onsite car parking rate may be applied to applicable elements of a development in any
of the following circumstances:
(a) development includes affordable housing or student accommodation; or
(b) sites are located within 200 metres walking distance of a convenient and frequent
service fixed public transport stop; or
(c) mixed use development including residential and non-residential development has
respective peak demands for parking occurring at different times; or
(d) the proposed development is on or adjacent to the site of a heritage place, or
includes retention of a desired traditional building and its features, which hinders the
provision of on-site parking or the most effective use of the spaces within the site;
(e) the parking shortfall is met by contribution to a Car Parking Fund (where one is
available); or
(f) the development qualifies for certification under the Green Energy rating program,
or similar program.”
Tables NPSP/8 and NPSP/9 of the Development Plan provide the following rates
applicable to the proposed development:
Residential (Resident)
Residential (Visitor)
Retail/Office (Minimum)
Retail/Office (Maximum)
Maximum 1 space per dwelling
Maximum 0.25 spaces per dwelling
3 spaces per 100 sq. m. GLA
5 spaces per 100 sq. m. GLA

TOTAL
39.65 spaces
Based on the assessment presented above, it can be seen that the proposed
development generates a statutory parking demand of 39.65 spaces, which would
round to 40 spaces. This includes a maximum of 26.25 spaces associated with the
residential aspect of the development.
The proposed development seeks to provide 11 car spaces, including one GoGet
space, with no specific residential spaces proposed. A further motorcycle parking
space is also proposed. The 10 general parking spaces will provide for all of the office
parking requirement and 75% of the office and retail parking requirement,
notwithstanding that the development plan rates would include an allowance for visitor
parking which will not be accommodated on site for the retail use and may not be
available for the office use. Including the motorcycle parking space would increase the
above percentage to 82%.
The development seeks to provide affordable housing for student accommodation in
accordance with PDC125 (a) and as such it is GTA Consultants’ opinion that the
proposed parking supply is suitable given the unique nature of the proposed
development, as discussed further in Section 6.1. In reference to the criteria identified
in clause 125 above, the proposed development is proposed for affordable or student
housing, is located within accepted walking distances of high frequency bus services
and as a mixed use site would, if desired, offer an opportunity for shared parking
arrangements.
5.2
Car Parking Layout
The proposed car parking layout is generally consistent with standard car parking
space requirements set out within AS/NZ2890.1:2004 (the Standard). The parking layout
is suitable for User Class 1A – long term, low turnover parking, which requires spaces to
be 2.4 metres wide.
The proposed development will create 11 parking spaces (including 1 GoGet car
space) with a minimum of 2.4 metres wide by 5.4 metres long. Formal parking will also
be provided for a motorcycle with a minimum width of 1.2 m and a length of 2.5
metres.

Car Parking
The parking spaces will be accessible via an aisle of width 5.84 metres, which exceeds
the minimum width of 5.8 metres specified in the Standard. A further 0.3 metres has
been provided between the aisle and the wall mounted bicycles.
Further to the above, the blind aisle is extended by 1.0 metres, with space 11 providing
a width of 3.4 metres. However the turning around bay has not been provided as
required by the Standard. GTA notes that the turning around bay is required in parking
facilities that are accessible to the public (i.e. shopping centres, hospitals etc.) where
vehicles will be circulating in search of a vacant space. Given that the proposed
parking area will be designated for commercial/office use with allocated car parks,
and as such will not be accessible by the public, it is GTAs opinion that the turning
around bay is not required.
Access to the proposed development will be via an access point to Little King William
Street. The access point will be controlled by an electric remote controlled roller door.
The access ramp will be one-lane, approximately 4.2 metres wide and provide two-way
vehicle flows. Given the length of the access ramp will be less than 6.0 metres and the
relatively low number of turning movements anticipated within the peak hour, GTA
considers the provision of one-lane access ramp satisfactory.
The proposed access driveway will have a ramp with a grade of 1 in 10 (10%) which
exceeds the maximum of 1 in 20 (5%) as indicated by the Standard for 6metres from the
property boundary. Given the ramp will be used for restricted vehicle access and the
length of the ramp will be short (less than 6.0 metres), GTA considers the access ramp
gradient will operate satisfactorily.
The Standard also requires pedestrian visibility splays of 2.5 metres into the property by
2.0 metres along the property boundary be provided for vehicles leaving the site.
Appropriate pedestrian visibility splays are provided along the driver’s side of the
driveway exit. However, it is not provided along the passenger side of the exit with
obstruction by the adjacent building. It is noted that the level of pedestrian activity
along Little King William Street is low. In order to manage safety for pedestrians and
drivers, a mirror and warning sign could be installed at the exit in an appropriate
location on the site. These locations can be confirmed in detailed design.
5.3
Disabled Parking
The Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Development Plan does not specify a rate for
disabled parking provision. However it does mention the following with regards to
disabled car parking:
Where applicable, development should provide parking, access and facilities for disabled persons.
The BCA specifies the following disabled car parking rate for office use:
1 space for every 100 car parking spaces or part thereof
The requirement for disabled parking applies to all car parks with more than 5 spaces
and therefore the provision of 1 disabled car park is suitable on the basis that it meets
the requirement specified in the BCA.

On Street Parking
The existing site crossover to King William Street will be removed as part of the proposed
development. This will enable this section of the kerb to be allocated for short term (2
hour) on-street parking. The total width of the existing crossover is approximately 10.5
metres and this distance will adjoin an existing parking area of approximately 11.8
metres. The total length of about 22.3 metres is generally expected to accommodate 4
vehicles, giving a net increase in on-street parking provision of 2 spaces.
As the proposed development will not provide any office, retail or residential visitor
parking, GTA has undertaken parking surveys on King William Street between College
Road and Fullarton Road. Occupancy and turnover surveys were undertaken on
Wednesday 24th September, with further occupancy surveys undertaken on Thursday
25th September.
The vehicle occupancy was recorded as shown in Figure 5.1, Figure 5.2 and Figure 5.3

Turnover remained relatively consistent between 8:00am and 9:15am between
10% - 15%;
Turnover was at its lowest at 12:15 at 2%;
Turnover peaked at 3:30pm at 21%;
The turnover rate subsided after 5:00pm below 5%.
The turnover analysis indicates that on average within any 15 minute period up to 10
parking spaces would be vacated.
GTA also assessed the duration of stay for vehicles that exceeded the observation
periods and hence the 2 hour parking restriction on-street. During the three time
segments, 212 different cars were recorded. Of the 212 cars parked, 42 vehicles (20%)
exceeded the 2 hour sign posted restriction, of which 11 vehicles (5%) were parked for 8
hours (from 9:00am – 5:00pm). These 11 vehicles occupying the same space for eight
hours covers nearly 20% of the available on-street parking stock and prevents 44
vehicles making legitimate use of the spaces.

Duration of Stay
From the on-street parking surveys, the following summary can be drawn:




There is typically around 10% of 5 spaces vacant at any one point during the
main part of the day (9am to 5pm);
Between 10% and 15% (6 to 10 spaces) of car parks are typically vacated in
any 15 minute period during the daytime;
20% of the available parking capacity is occupied by all-day parkers
indicating a lack of adherence to the parking restrictions and an opportunity
for capacity to be freed for legitimate parking; and
Parking demand reduces very quickly after 5pm.
GTA therefore considers that there should be sufficient on-street capacity to
accommodate short term daytime visitors for the proposed commercial and office
uses on the site and any occasional daytime visitors to the residential units.
Residential visitors that are most likely to arrive in the evening would have a large
parking capacity available.

Adequacy of Parking Supply
The proposed development is incorporating an alternative sustainable approach to car
ownership through the provision of no parking with each apartment. Whilst traditionally,
parking spaces are provided as part of the purchase price of an apartment, this
development seeks to change the culture of car use through the provision of no
parking within the site for residential purposes. The proposed development also seeks to
provide reduced spaces for the office and retail components of the development,
because of its close proximity to the CBD and good access to public transport.
The reduction in parking supply for the proposed development will require future
residents to consider living without a private vehicle. It is widely accepted in transport
planning that constraining the supply of parking will assist in limiting the generation of
private vehicle trips to and from a development site. It is well known that Adelaide has
the highest amount of parking available in any capital city in Australia, and the best
method of changing people’s choices for travel modes is through controlling the supply
of parking from the outset.
Infraplan’s City of Norwood, Payneham and St Peters: Kent Town and The Parade
Strategic Growth Development Plan Amendment: Local Area Traffic and Car Parking
Investigation Report, dated November 2011, indicates that the Kent Town precinct has
a high uptake of alternative transport modes such as walking and cycling and a lower
car ownership rate than most of Adelaide. Kent Town’s proximity to the city and access
to public transport allows parking to be relied on less.
The provision of no parking for residents and few spaces for the office and retail
employees can have effects on the adjacent road network through on-street parking
impacts. However, this area in Kent Town is already well protected by parking
restrictions each weekday, with short-term parking only permitted (< 2hours). There
may be some impact of parking by visitors to the apartments on weekends and
evenings, however the surveys have confirmed that there is ample parking available
on-street in the evenings and on weekends due to limited commercial activity in the
area at these times.
Some residents may choose to park vehicles on-street overnight when parking
restrictions do not apply. This would typically not be desirable for people given the lack
of security for street parking compared to off-street parking, and hence the amount of
parking would be limited. However given the commercial nature of the area, this will
be a minor impact which will not affect any residential uses.
The provision of a shared vehicle (i.e. Go Get) will enable residents to use a private
vehicle as required, without the burdens and costs of full-time vehicle ownership. This
arrangement combined with the easy access to public transport, as well as walking
and cycling routes, allows residents to access a variety of transport modes to access

the CBD and surrounding educational, employment and retail centres without relying
on privately owned vehicles.
A key feature of the sale of the proposed development to residents and office tenants
will be the lack of parking, availability of bicycle parking which will reinforce the need
to travel by other modes, including public transport, walking and cycling.
GTA considers the proposed provision of a car sharing vehicle and bicycle storage
facilities with the accessibility of public transport will likely reduce the reliance of car
ownership, particularly with residents of the proposed development.
GTA considers the provision of 11 parking spaces (including 1 GoGet car space) as well
as a space for a motorcycle to park will assist in reducing car ownership and private car
use by residents and staff in the proposed development.
The reduction in parking provision will be supported by use of other modes as follows:
Public Transport
As mentioned in Section 2.3.1, the subject site is located in close proximity to a number
of public transport services including bus services along North Terrace and Rundle
Street. These public transport options are considered accessible and provide a viable
alternative to motor vehicle ownership.
The nearest bus stops to the site are located on North Terrace, approximately a 350
metre (5 minute) walk from the site. These bus stops offer high frequency services to the
Adelaide CBD, and a wide variety of other destinations across the metropolitan area.
The combination of bus routes available provide frequencies of every 2-3 minutes
during the AM and PM peak hours and around 5-10 minutes during weekdays interpeaks and on weekends. Whilst this distance is beyond the 200 metre criteria identified
within clause 125 of the Development Plan, as noted in section 5.1 above, 350 metres is
within the generally accepted distance to access a bus stop of 400 metres and the bus
services on North Terrace combine to provide a very high frequency.
Cycling
As mentioned in Section 4.1, the subject site will provide a total of 41 bicycle storage
racks, including showers for use by the proposed building workers. It is noted that onstreet cycling lanes are readily accessible within close proximity of the site as well as
shared paths through Rundle Park. Given the provision of appropriate shower and
change facilities, GTA considers the provision of secure bicycle parking to encourage
the use of bicycle in favour of motor vehicles. It is noted that many residents will prefer
to keep their bicycles in their apartments for security and convenience reasons and as
such each apartment is proposed to contain a bicycle storage rack for convenience
and security.
The site is located close to the proposed Beulah Road bike boulevard which has been
identified for delivery in 2014/15 as part of the State Government’s budget as part of
the Motor Accident Commission’s $2.5 million Pedestrian and Cycling Improvements
Program.

Sustainable Transport Practices
Walking
The site is located within an approximately 1.6km (20 minute) walk from Rundle Mall,
1.3km (18 minute) walk from the Avenues Shopping Centre and 1.6km (20 minute) walk
from Norwood’s The Parade Shopping precinct. Pedestrian paths with designated
(often signalised) crossing points are provided along the likely routes to each of these
destinations. The journey time compared to a motor vehicle is comparable given the
time required to unpark, drive the vehicle, find a park and then walk into the centre.
Local Car Sharing Vehicle
A car sharing pod is proposed to be located within the basement car park. An
agreement with GoGet (a car sharing provider) is required; however, the car sharing
vehicle will assist to reduce the reliance on car ownership, particularly for the residents
of the proposed development.
Subject to discussions and agreement with Council, consideration could be given to
transferring the GoGet car to an on-street parking space, potentially utilising the space
created by the redundant crossover to the site. This would assist in raising the profile and
availability of the GoGet car within the wider local residential and business community.
Given the proposed development seeks to supply a limited number of on-site parking
spaces, the building will be marketed towards those who do not or do not want to own
a vehicle.
Marketing Plan
The marking plan for the sale of the apartments and office space will include
highlighting the availability of other modes of transport (as mentioned above). The
marketing plan will further emphasise the benefits of not owning a car, for instance, the
use of public transport saves costs of registration, insurance, vehicle depreciation
through wear and tear and petrol costs.

Loading Facilities
7.
Loading Facilities
Given the nature of the development no regular deliveries are required. However, for
refuse collection a waste room is proposed to be located in the basement car park.
GTA understands that on waste collection day, building management will transfer the
waste to the collection area located along Little King William Street to be collected via
a contracted waste collection company. GTA understands that Council waste
collection for the surrounding developments is currently undertaken on King William
Street.
Therefore, given the occasional service requirements (i.e. less than once per day), the
low traffic volume on Little King William Street (approximately 1,000 vehicles per day)
and that Little King William Street is currently used by Council refuse vehicles, GTA
considers the proposed refuse collection arrangement to be satisfactory.
GTA notes the existing Loading Zones on Little King William Street may be utilised for the
occasional delivery vehicle.

Traffic Generation
8.1.1
Design Rates
Traffic generation estimates have been sourced from ‘Guide to Traffic Generating
Developments’ (RTA NSW, 2002, henceforth referred to as the RTA Guide). Traffic
generation rates applicable to the proposed development are shown below:
Medium Density Residential Flat Building (up to 2 bedrooms) 4-5 trips per unit (Daily)
Medium Density Residential Flat Building (up to 2 bedrooms) 0.4-0.5 trips per unit (Peak
Hour)
Office
10 trips per 100sq.m gfa (Daily)
Office
2 trips per 100sq.m gfa (Peak Hour)
However, as previously mentioned, the parking spaces within the basement car park
will be allocated for use by the commercial tenants only. Therefore, it is GTA’s opinion
that the traffic generation as a result of the residential components is likely to not
exceed 2 trips in the peak hour and 20 trips per day.
Based on the rates presented above, Table 8.1 presents an assessment of the estimated
traffic generation.
Table 8.1:

Traffic Generation
AM Peak Hour
Daily
21 apartments
2 trips
20 trips
447 sq.m
9 trips
45 trips
11 trips
65 trips
TOTAL
The table above indicates the development is likely to generate a total of 11 and 65
vehicle trips in the peak hour and daily periods respectively. However, given the
proposed development seeks to provide a total of 11 car parking spaces and 1
motorcycle space, it is GTA’s opinion that the likely traffic generation will be lower. As
parking spaces are not proposed for the residential component of the development
any residential traffic generation is likely to be the result of deliveries, visitors or use of
the GoGet car. For the purposes of assessment it has been assumed the proposed
development will generate 11 trips during the AM peak hour as a worst-case scenario.
8.1.2
Distribution and Assignment
The directional distribution and assignment of traffic generated by the proposed
development will be influenced by a number of factors, including the:
i
ii
configuration of the road network in the immediate vicinity of the site;
existing operation of intersections providing access to the local road network;

iv
surrounding employment centres, retail centres and schools in relation to the
site;
configuration of access points to the site.
Having consideration to the above, for the purposes of estimating vehicle movements,
the daily directional distributions as shown in Figure 8.1 have been assumed.
Figure 8.1: Directional Distribution

In addition, the directional splits of traffic (i.e. the ratio between the inbound and
outbound traffic movements) in the AM peak period are 80:20 (20% outbound 80%
inbound). The directional splits have been assumed based on the majority of
commercial employees travelling to work in the AM and residents leaving for work in
the AM.
Based on the above, Figure 8.2 and Figure 8.3 have been prepared to show the
estimated marginal increase in turning movements in the vicinity of the subject property
following full site development.

The additional traffic generated by the proposed development will be less than 1% of
the existing volumes along Fullarton Road. Therefore the additional traffic generated

by the proposed development could not be expected to compromise the safety or
function of Fullarton Road.
Notwithstanding the above, delays are to be expected during the AM and PM peak
periods which are consistent with the CBD road network environment.
Moreover, the use of College Road and Little King William Street by vehicles accessing
commercial uses which abut them is entirely appropriate and consistent with their
functional role in the road network.

Conclusion
9.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis and discussions presented within this report, the following
conclusions are made:
i
The site is well located in relation to existing public transport services and local
bike lanes on King William Street to encourage increased use of sustainable
transport.
ii
The proposed supply of 41 bicycle parking spaces is well above the Statutory
Requirement of 24 bike parking spaces.
iii
The proposed development generates a statutory car parking requirement of
39.65 parking spaces, which would equate to a provision of 40 spaces.
iv The proposed parking will primarily be allocated to the office use and will
exceed the statutory parking requirement for this use.
v
The proposed supply of 11 parking spaces (including 1 GoGet car), in addition
to the provision of one motorcycle space is likely to encourage tenants of the
proposed development to use sustainable transport options. The access to
public transport, the provision of bicycle storage facilities and showers /
change rooms and the GoGet car are additional expected to reduce motor
vehicle ownership within the development.
vi The lack of parking supplied by the proposed development in conjunction with
the supply of bicycle parking and accessibility of public transport, walking and
cycling networks is likely to attract residents and office tenants that typically do
not own vehicles and encourage lower vehicle ownership and use.
vii The existing parking conditions within close proximity to the site means some
residents may choose to park vehicles on-street overnight when parking
restrictions do not apply. Given the commercial nature of the area, this will be
a minor impact which will not affect any residential uses. Surveys have
confirmed the availability of on-street spaces during weekdays and a lack of
adherence to the posted time restrictions.
viii Removal of the existing site access crossover will result in the addition of 2 onstreet car parking spaces.
ix The proposed parking layout is consistent with the dimensional requirements as
set out in the Australian/New Zealand Standards for Off Street Car Parking
(AS/NZS2890.1:2004).
x
The provision of loading is considered adequate given the low existing traffic
volumes on Little King William Street and the occasional service requirements
(i.e. less than once per day).
xi The site is expected to generate a maximum of 11 and 65 vehicle movements
in any peak hour and daily respectively.
xii The level of traffic generated by the proposed development represents less
than 1% of traffic on Fullarton Road. It is GTAs opinion that there is adequate
capacity on these roads to cater for the traffic generated by the proposed
development.

Attention: Mr William Valimitis
Dear William
RE: 97 KING WILLIAM STREET, KENT TOWN – CARPARK LAYOUT REVIEW
Based on our previous discussion and correspondence dating 11 February 2015, GTA has
carried out a car park layout review of the ground floor for the proposed mixed residential
and office development in response to comments raised by DPTI. The car park provides 9
staff spaces, in addition to a go-get car park space, a disabled space and the provision of
motorcycle and bicycle parking with access from Little King William Street. This letter sets out
the basis of our findings and analysis.
Off-Street Car Parking
The car park should meet the appropriate requirements contained in Australian Standard
2890.1:2004 – Off Street Car Parking. Reference has also been made to Australian Standard
2890.6:2009 for disabled car parking. GTA’s review has confirmed the following:





10 x 90 degree angle parking bays (including 1 go-get car park) with minimum
dimensions of 2.4 metres x 5.4 metres, with a 6.2 metre aisle width, which complies with
User Class 1A requirements – employee parking (Clause 2.4, Figure 2.2).
1 disabled car park has been provided with minimum dimensions of 2.4 metres x 5.4
metres accompanied by a shared space (Clause 2.2, Figure 2.2 of AS 2890.6:2009).
All columns and walls adjacent to the car parking spaces will satisfy the design
envelope clearance requirements (Figure 5.2).
Blind aisle extends 1 metre to enable access and exit for space 11 (Clause 2.4.2 (c)).
While previously ramp grades were slightly short of the standard requirement, the grades
have subsequently been modified to meet the standard requirements as follows:
o
o
o
o

1:8 grade at the entry which meets the requirements as specified in Clause
2.5.3 (b).
Maximum grade through carpark is 1:19, which meets the 1:16 grade
requirement within a parking module (Clause 2.4.1).
Disabled carpark meets the 1:40 Grade requirement specified in Clause 2.3 of
AS 2890.6:2009.
Figure 1 below shows the cross section of the ramp grades through the car
park.

The entry ramp has a width of 4.3 metres (wall to wall), which meets the minimum
requirement for a single lane two-way access. Given, turnover movements are likely to
be low within the car park, there are less than 25 spaces and the car park has access


from Little King William Street, which is considered a local road, a single lane two-way
access will be appropriate for such a development (Clause 3.2.2).
Vehicle height clearance of 2.5 metres has been provided which meets the minimum
2.2 metre requirement specified in Clause 5.3.
o



Vehicle height clearance above the disabled car park is 2.6 metres, which
meets the minimum 2.5 metre requirement specified in Clause 2.4 of AS
2890.6:2009.
There are clear sight lines for vehicles exiting the site with a pedestrian sight splay on the
left in accordance with the standard (Clause 3.2.4, Figure 3.3). Furthermore, Figure 1
demonstrates that there is sufficient sight distance to the right for a vehicle exiting.
Whilst Figure 1 shows the vehicle exiting the site from the centre of the access, it is more
likely that vehicles will keep left, which further increases sight distance.
Aisle is reduced to 5.6 metres adjacent the stairs, which meets the 3.6 metre (including
600mm clearance) minimum requirement for a single lane two way access (Table 3.2).
The likelihood of conflict through this section is negligible as there are only 8 parking
spaces by beyond this point notwithstanding that two vehicles would be able to pass
each other within a 5.6m width.
There is no requirement for a turnaround bay at the end of the car park as the parking
spaces will be specifically allocated. This was identified in section 5.2, page 15 of the TIA
issued on 30 September 2014.
Figure 1 illustrates the cross section of the ramp grades through the car park whilst Figure 2
illustrates the pedestrian sight triangles for a vehicle exiting the site.

Disabled Parking
GTA has reviewed the provision of disabled car parking in accordance with the Norwood,
Payneham & St Peters Development Plan and the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
The Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Development Plan does not specify a rate, however
does mention the following with regards to disabled car parking:
Where applicable, development should provide parking, access and facilities for disabled
persons.
The BCA specifies the following disabled car parking rate for office use:
1 spaces for every 100 car parking spaces or part thereof
The requirement for disabled parking applies to all car parks with more than 5 spaces and
therefore the provision of 1 disabled car park is suitable on the basis that it meets the
requirement specified in the BCA.
Naturally, should you have any questions or require any further information, please do not
hesitate to contact me in our Adelaide office on (08) 8334 3600.
Yours sincerely

Review of Parking - Proposed Mixed Use
Development, 97 King William Street Kent Town
Job no.
33/01050/27
Dear Alison
GHD has had the opportunity to review the parking arrangements pursuant to the proposed mixed use
development located at 97 King William Street in Kent Town and provides the following response.
The proposed development is a mixed use facility comprising retail, office and residential land uses. The
building is proposed to be five-storeys high with a basement car-parking area providing 10 parking
spaces (including one disabled space with associated shared space). Another parking space is
designated for a Goget vehicle for use by the public. It is noted that the numbering of the parking spaces
on the plans provided to GHD (dated 17 November 2014 and attached to this memo) via email on 12
March 2015 is incorrect and should be amended accordingly.
Assessment of Parking Supply
As indicated in the original Traffic Impact Statement (dated 3 September 2014) and Car Parking Layout
Review letter (dated 19 December 2014) prepared by GTA Consultants (herein referred to as the GTA
Report), the proposed parking supply is less than the statutory requirements outlined in the City of
Norwood, Payneham and St Peters Development Plan (consolidated 31 October 2013). However,
Clause 125 of the Development Plan indicates that lesser parking may be supplied subject to a number
of criteria including (those relevant to this development):
Provision of affordable housing or student accommodation;
Site is within 200m walking distance to a high frequency fixed public transport stop; and
The development is mixed use comprising residential and non-residential components.
On this basis, GHD considers the proposed supply of 10 spaces (including one disabled space) to be
satisfactory. Whilst the supply of 10 parking spaces is satisfactory, it is considered in the best interests of
Goget and its customers that the Goget car is visible and easily accessible to the public. On this basis, it
is recommended that the Goget space is relocated on-street in order to increase the supply to 11 parking
spaces.
33/01050/27/57714
Car Parking Layout
A review of the car parking layout indicates it generally complies with the requirements set out in
AS2890.1. However, the GTA Report indicates the parking layout provides a 1.0m blind aisle extension
at the end of parking space number 11. This is not reflected on the latest plans provided to GHD. The
last parking space was measured to be 2.5m wide which is less than the required 3.4m (i.e. 2.4m plus
1.0m blind aisle extension). The grade to and within the off-street carpark has been assessed and is in
accordance with AS2890.1. The pedestrian sight distance and column locations have also been
assessed and meet the required standards. The shared space adjacent the disabled car park will need
to have a bollard installed in accordance with the requirements of AS 2890.6.
Bike parking assessment
It is noted in the GTA Traffic Impact Assessment dated 3/09/2014 that 25 bike parking spaces are
required to be provided in accordance with Council’s Development Plan. 9 spaces are required for
resident use, 7 visitors of office or residents, 1 customer space and 8 spaces for employee use.
The provided plans show one space is provided in each of the apartments (18), 16 wall bicycle racks in
the basement and 3 bicycle racks on the ground floor (a total of 37 spaces) which exceeds the
Development Plan requirements. However, there is some concern regarding the location of the wall
bicycle racks in the basement as no details have been provided on how these would look and the fact
that there is a high likelihood that they will be hit from motorists reversing from the carparks. An aisle
width of 6.19 metres is shown on the provided plans behind the carparks. In accordance with Australian
Standards, a minimum aisle width of 5.8 metres is required which leaves 390mm for the wall bicycle
racks. Details need to be provided on how far the wall mounted bike racks will protrude into the aisle and
whether they could be protected by bollards or similar if they are to be retained in their current location;
otherwise they are unlikely to be used by cyclists.
Furthermore, signing should be installed at ground level to indicate that bike parking facilities are
available in the basement level as there are not enough visitor or customer parking bicycle parking
facilities on the ground level (8 required) or alternatively provide additional bike racks (5) at ground level
(currently only 3 provided).
Conclusion
The latest set of plans provided to GHD and the GTA report have been assessed against AS 2890.1, the
local Council Development Plan and good engineering practice and generally complies. However, it
suggested the following items be addressed:
-
Goget carpark to be relocated on-street to add an additional off-street carpark;
-
Carpark number 11 will need to be increased in width by 1.0 metre to allow for the blind aisle
(3.4 metres);
-
The shared space adjacent the disabled carpark should have a bollard installed in accordance
with the requirements of AS 2890.6;
-
Details on the proposed wall bicycle racks to be provided and consideration to protecting these
same racks from reversing motorists
33/01050/27/57714

-
Either signing be installed at ground level to direct visitor and customers to additional bike
parking in the basement level or an additional 5 bike racks be installed at ground level to
accommodate same.
-
The carpark layout plan is updated to reflect actual car parking numbers.

Review of Parking - Proposed Mixed Use
Development, 97 King William Street Kent Town –
supplementary memo
Job no.
33/17823
Dear Alison
I refer to my previous memo to you of 16 March 2015 in relation to the carparking assessment for the
proposed development at 97 King William Street, Kent Town.
It is understood that the plans have been updated since my previous memo to you and that the Traffic
Impact Assessment that I was previously provided was not the latest report. Accordingly, this memo is
being written in response to the updated information that was received on 17 March 2015; the Traffic
Impact Assessment (issue I) dated 17 March 2015 and drawing number 100 (Revision J) dated 17 March
2015. The latest drawing is attached to this memo.
GHD has had the opportunity to review the revised report and plans pursuant to the proposed mixed use
development located at 97 King William Street in Kent Town and provides the following response.
Assessment against issues previously raised
My previous memo to you identified the following shortcomings associated with the proposed
development from a traffic perspective:
Comments on suitability of ‘Go-get’ carpark being placed off-street;
The width of carpark number 11 to be widened by 1.0 metre (as located on a blind aisle);
The shared space adjacent the disabled carpark should have a bollard installed in accordance
with the requirements of AS 2890.6;
Details on the proposed wall bicycle racks to be provided and consideration to protecting these
same racks from reversing motorists;
Either signing be installed at ground level to direct visitor and customers to additional bike
parking in the basement level or an additional 5 bike racks be installed at ground level to
accommodate same (based on 18 apartments);
The carpark layout plan is updated to reflect actual car parking numbers.
Error! Unknown document
property name./Error! Unknown
document property name.
It is understood that the development has been amended to accommodate 21 apartments with less office
and shop space which changes the assessment requirements for parking and bike parking.
However, it is considered that the number of carparks being proposed is considered adequate if the Goget’ carpark is located on-street (unless agreement can be reached with ‘Go-get’ about having this
parking space installed off-street and that there is confidence that this carpark would be used).
The width of carpark number 11 has been widened by 1.0 metre. The shared space now has a bollard
installed. The carpark layout has been updated to reflect these changes accordingly. An additional bike
parking rail has been installed at the ground floor level (to bring the total number of bike parking available
for customers/visitors to 4). It is considered that the visitor residential bike parking requirements is able
to be accommodated either in the basement or apartments so is satisfactory to development plan
requirements. Further details on the wall mounted bike racks have been provided including how they
would operate satisfactorily behind the parked cars.
Conclusion
It is felt that the latest plan and report is deemed satisfactory to parking and traffic requirements for the
proposed development in accordance with the latest GTA Traffic Impact Assessment report (revision H)
and associated plan (revision J(2)).
