1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this Report
GHD has been engaged by the City of Launceston to prepare this report and to co-ordinate the
preparation of a Development Application for the construction of additional sports fields and
associated car park facility at Churchill Park. The report provides an assessment of the proposal
against the requirements of the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (the ‘Scheme’).
Appendix B – Surface Water and Sediment Investigation by Pitt & Sherry 2014.
2.1.1 Location
Churchill Park is a sporting field complex located at Heritage Forest. Access is gained off
Invermay Road via Forster Street and Churchill Park Drive. Churchill Park plays a significant
role as the home of the Northern Tasmanian Junior Soccer Association, and the Northern
Tasmanian Softball Association. During summer AFL Tas and North Launceston FC use the
fields for preseason training, and the Launceston Dog Club are weekend users, although not of
the sports fields.
The titles and other legal land parcels associated with Churchill Park impacted by the
development of the additional sporting fields are identified in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Property titles
The redevelopment involves land associated with both titles by virtue of a small encroachment
onto CT 50435/1, as demonstrated in Figure 2-2.
However, this encroachment across title boundaries is of little consequence given common
ownership of the land by the City of Launceston.
Churchill Park has developed over the years as home for a number of sporting activities, with
development of grassed sports fields, informal playing areas, an artificial hockey pitch (now
used for parking due to problems with differential settling of the land), recreation trails and
paths, landscaping, and related informal car parking.
3. Project Background
3.1 Churchill Park Redevelopment
The Churchill Park Sports Fields precinct redevelopment is an initiative of the City of
Launceston Natural Environment Department. The following criteria was used to guide
development of the master plan.
Increased playing field space and provision for additional sports to utilise the playing fields,
particularly through the summer months (refer Section 2.1 below);
Provide a central dual use pedestrian path and service vehicle access road to the sites
facilities;
Relocation of all site parking to the southern side of the sports fields precinct;
Improve site amenity through the removal of internal site fencing and unused hardstand
areas; and
Consider relevant users of the Churchill Park site, not only users of the sports fields (e.g.
the dog club).
Public notification will occur in light of a number of discretionary aspects to the proposed
development of additional sporting fields and car park.
4. Proposal
4.1 Development Application Plans
The master plan proposes the staged redevelopment of the complex incorporating new car park
areas, upgraded and extended site access road, pedestrian and cyclist pathways and ultimately
the development of three new soccer fields and a new cricket oval with artificial pitches,
additional landscaping and related facilities. The staged development is described below but in
detail, the master plan for the redevelopment will include:
2 x soccer fields measuring 100 m x 64 m. Located to the north west of the existing NTJSA
sports building, the soccer grounds replace a previously used artificial hockey ground that
is currently used for car parking;
Superimposed on the above soccer fields is a 128 m – 138 m diameter cricket oval with
synthetic pitch;
A third soccer pitch measuring 100 m x 55 m to the south west of soccer fields 1 and 2
above;
Access to the above sports fields will be via an upgraded existing access;
Redeveloped and new car parking areas with approximately 550 spaces, consolidating all
existing parking to one area south of the existing playing fields;
The car park makes provision for disability spaces, bus/taxi layby, internal pedestrian
pathways linking to a 2.0 m shared pedestrian and cyclist path;
The existing access road adjacent to the existing and proposed gravel car park will be
upgraded to match the levels of the new carpark and surfaced with a new bitiminious seal.;
New sections of 6.5m wide bitiminious sealed access roads adjacent the existing and
proposed car parking areas;
The car park will be gravelled and without linemarking. It will be developed in three (3)
stages, with the size and shape of each stage being designed to accommodate formal
linemarking should a sealed surface be added at a later date. Parking spaces for people
with disabilities will be adequately marked and signed;
Existing vegetation and trees will be retained where practical (Eucalyptus globulus - blue
gums), an existing open drain will be retained along the southern boundary, and stormwater
from the new car park will be directed to Council’s existing open stormwater drain network;
The overall development concept is shown in Figure 4-1 below, with full documentation provided
in Appendix A.
the development of the new gravel carpark adjacent the existing carpark at the site’s entry
– with an extension to the west and an extension to the east;
the extension and upgrade of the existing site access road looping the existing and new
expanded car park area including the application of bitiminious seal at the western end
incorporating a bus and taxi layby; gravel shared path for pedestrians and cyclists and
associated landscaping.
the development of a gravel carpark on the southern side of the site access road.
STAGE 3 will include:
the development of a new gravel carpark and associated access to the west of the site
access road.
LATER STAGES will include the development of the new sports pitches, as funding permits
and only when all new carparking areas have been developed. In this regard it is important to
note that the existing carparking within the area of the proposed sports grounds (north west of
the baseball diamond) will be retained to ensure parking demand is met in the interim.
5. Planning Assessment
The following provides an assessment of the application against the relevant provisions of the
Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (the Scheme).
5.1 Zoning
The subject site is situated partly within the Recreation and Open Space zones as identified in
Figure 5-1.
The new car park consolidates existing spaces scattered across the complex into one area,
which will consist of an unsealed gravelled surface and drainage infrastructure.
The proposed use is permitted in the Recreation zone, and discretionary in the Open Space
zone.
Table 5-1 Use classes
18.1.1.1 To provide for a range of active and organised recreational use or development and
complementary uses that do not impact adversely on the recreational use of the
land.
18.1.1.2 To provide for the amenity of residential uses on land adjoining the zone.
The redeveloped Churchill Park will enhance the existing sports complex and enable clubs that
use the facilities, and Council who operates the complex to better cater for their needs. There is
a demonstrated need for additional playing fields. The consolidation of parking into a single
location will enhance safety of pedestrians, particularly the children and youth who attend the
grounds, while nearby residents should have improved amenity with a minimum 13m setback
from upgraded parking facilities, additional landscaping, and management of storm water.
In accordance with Table 18.3, Clauses 18.3.1 to 18.3.4 apply to the sports and recreation use
class. The sports and recreation use class is ordinarily permitted and therefore is deemed to be
consistent with the zone provisions.
Complies with A1
No change anticipated in relation to existing operating hours of Churchill Park, which in any
event complies with the operating hours specified in (a) above. Current hours of operation
are:
Soccer
Monday training until 7.00 pm
Tuesday training until 6.30 pm
Wednesday no use currently
Thursday occasional use during the day
Friday competition until 9.00 pm
Saturday competition until 6.00 pm
Sunday competition and training until 1.00 pm
Softball
Monday – Friday 2 nights/week (flexible on days) until 7.00 pm
Saturday competition until 6.00 pm
While the boom gate at the entrance to Churchill Park can be locked it is generally left open,
however, the gate to the sporting fields is locked outside the above specified hours.
The following development standards that apply in accordance with Table 18.4 of the Scheme
are addressed below.
18.4.1 Building height, setback and siting
Objective: To ensure that building bulk and form, and siting:
(a) accommodates sport and recreation uses;
(b) Is compatible with the streetscape and character of the surrounding area; and
(c) protects the amenity of adjoin lots and surrounding uses.
18.4.2 Landscaping
Objective: To ensure that development is landscaped to be compatible with recreational uses
of the site and the character of the surrounding area.
In accordance with Table 19.3, Clauses 19.3.1 to 19.3.6 apply to the sports and recreation use
class. The sports and recreation use class is discretionary and demonstration of its ability to
meet the zone provisions is required.
Not applicable because mechanical plant and equipment are not proposed.
19.3.3 Light spill and illumination
Objective: To ensure that light spill and levels of illumination from external lighting does not
cause unreasonable loss of amenity to sensitive uses.
The development standards that apply in accordance with Table 19.4 of the Scheme are
addressed below.
19.4.1 Building height, setback and siting
Objective: To ensure that building bulk and form, and siting:
(a) is compatible with the character of the surrounding area;
(b) protects the amenity of adjoining lots and surrounding uses; and
(c) respects the natural and landscape values of the site.
19.4.2 Landscaping
Objective: To ensure that development is landscaped to retain the natural values of the site
and contributes to the broader landscape of the area.
5.5 Overlays
The subject site is located within an Overlay Area, which in turn calls up E16.0
Invermay/Inveresk Flood Inundation Area Code.
E16.2.1 Application of this code specifies that it applies to use and development, including
subdivision, on land shown within the Invermay/Inveresk Innundation Area on the planning
scheme overlay maps. The subject land is located in Precinct 6 Recreational, as shown below:
However, E16.4.1 Use or development exempt from this code provides that ‘non-habitable’
buildings are exempt from the provisions of the code. There are no habitable buildings
proposed with the development of sports fields and car park and on this basis the code does not
apply.
5.6 Codes
The Code is relevant because the application involves a ‘sports and recreation’ use and
excavation works, and because there is record of potentially contaminating activities (former
refuse site) at Churchill Park/Heritage Forest. The Code is relevant to both parcels, CT
151196/1 and CT 9633/1, which forms part of the subject site. A Surface Water and Sediment
Investigation by Pitt & Sherry in 2014 (Appendix B) indicates there is no evidence of leachates
impacting nearby waterways nor evidence of contamination in sediment samples taken around
the subject site.
E2.5.1 Suitability for intended use
Objective: To ensure that potentially contaminated land is suitable for the intended use.
E2.6.2 Excavation
Objective: To ensure that works involving excavation of potentially contaminated land does not
adversely impact on human health or the environment.
This code applies to all use and development. There are no exemptions to the code. The
relevant provisions are addressed below.
E6.5.1 Number of Car Parking Spaces
Objective: To ensure that an appropriate level of car parking is provided to meet the needs of
the use.
Not applicable because these provisions relate to uses that require 5 or more bicycle spaces,
and implies catering for more permanent uses e.g. office workers and the like.
The purpose of the Water Quality Code is to ‘manage adverse impacts on wetlands and
watercourses. Being mindful of Churchill Park sharing a boundary with the North Esk Flood
Levee and associated wetland/watercourse, assessment against the code was initially
considered appropriate. However, with a greater than 50 m setback to the nearest water body,
together with the fact that stormwater from the car park is to be directed to Council’s reticulated
network, it has been determined that the code does not apply.
Signs that are defined as ‘community information signs’ (see definition below) defined in
accordance with E18.4 of the Signs Code, do not require a permit. The dimensions of a new
sign planned at the entrance to Churchill Park will likely be 3.5 m x 1.7 m. in accordance with
the LCC Corporate Signage Design Guidelines.
community means a sign erected by a statutory authority for the purpose of
information sign providing community information.
6. Conclusion
The proposed application for the development of additional sporting fields and new car park at
Churchill Park has been assessed against all relevant provisions of the Launceston Interim
Planning Scheme 2015. The proposed works seek to revitalise and enhance Churchill Park for
all users, particularly with respect to the formalised car park and the expansion in the number of
playing fields. As demonstrated in this report, the proposal complies with all relevant provisions
of the Scheme and its approval can therefore be supported.

1. Introduction
LCC own and manage the Heritage Forest Recreation Ground (HF) in Launceston. HF is a multipurpose
facility used by the surrounding community for passive and active recreation. HF was a municipal landfill
until the mid 1980’s before the current landfill at Remount Road was established.
LCC have been notified of discoloured water discharging from stormwater drains during recent heavy
rainfalls and was concerned that the discharge may be leachate. LCC engaged pitt&sherry to obtain water
and sediment samples from the discharge locations to assist in identifying if the discharge was leachate
and to determine the potential risks to human health or the local environment.
Samples from the drains were obtained on 25 September 2014, following a rain event and the results
were assessed against leachate data from Tasmanian Landfills and New South Wales Environment
Protection Agency references.
2. Scope of Works
The pitt&sherry scope of works was:
Assist LCC to identify suitable sampling locations
Obtain representative water and sediment samples at the agreed sampling locations
Prepare a short report summarising the sampling and analytical results.
3. Site Details
Heritage Forest is located in Invermay, broadly bounded by the North Esk River, Invermay Road and
Vermont Road. A local location map is provided in Figure 1. HF is 28 ha, part of a former disposal area of
52 ha.
HF contains a number of sporting facilities, including the Churchill Park Hockey Centre, the LCC
herbarium, walking trails, playgrounds and interpretation boards. The hockey centre is used by a number
of clubs and schools in northern Tasmania.
The HF landfill commenced in 1964 and closed to the general public on 24 February 19851, with the
Remount Road Landfill opened on February 25 1985.
Records identifying the boundary of the filling area(s) or cell locations could not be located, which is not
surprising for a facility of this age. Analysis of aerials photos of 1955 and 1986 (both black and white)
could not accurately illustrate the landfill locations above the broad boundary provided by the local road
network.
The types of waste potentially in the landfill are unknown but are expected to be largely domestic as few
industries would have been operating during the period the landfill was open and any industry would
have likely disposed of their waste on their own land, rather than disposal at the landfill.

4. Sampling Details
4.1 Locations
The sampling locations developed and agreed with LCC are provided in Table 1.
HF01 (off 512517 5415242 Along eastern boundary off Churchill Park Drive
Churchill Park where a discoloured discharge was observed in
Drive) the drainage line following a rain event
HF04 (north of 511734 5415235 Drainage line north east of Herbarium and
LCC depot) perceived to be up gradient of former landfill
4.2 Methodology
The bottles were placed just below the level of the water surface, allowing water to collect in the bottle
and the lid was then tightly placed on the bottle. The bottles were placed into the cooled esky for later
transport to the laboratory.
Field water chemistry was obtained using the pitt&sherry TPS FL90 water quality meter. Results were
recorded when each parameter had stabilised and are provided in Section 6.
4.2.2 Sediment
A sediment sample was also obtained from each location using a spade. Each sample was obtained from
the 0-100 mm horizon and committed into the laboratory supplied jars with zero headspace to preserve
volatiles analysis. Any large debris, stones or vegetation was removed from the sample.
The spade was cleaned between samples using deionised water and decon 90 solution to prevent cross
contamination between samples.
These parameters were deemed appropriate to identify leachate (if any) in the site drainage lines. The
Silica Gel Clean up method was used to remove any biogenic hydrocarbons in the samples and allow only
petrogenic hydrocarbons to be identified in the sediment, thereby reflecting any industrial waste in the
leachate and allowing a more accurate assessment of environmental and human health risks to be made.
4.4 Sediment
Sediment samples were analysed for the following parameters:
Total Alkalinity
Chloride
Sodium
Total Metals
Total Organic Carbon
Chemical Oxygen Demand
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (with Silica Gel Clean up)
Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene Xylene
The reasons for the analytical suite are the same as the surface water samples, with Total Organic Carbon
added to understand soil health and potential impacts on the local vegetation.
5. Assessment Criteria
5.1 Sediments
The sediment results were assessed against the following references:
NSW EPA How to Interpret your Soil Results
ANZECC 2000 Sediment Quality Guidelines (low and high ranges)

Values – Low Land Rivers
The field water chemistry results do not indicate that possible leachate is impacting upon water quality.
Dissolved oxygen results are below guidelines levels but this is most likely to due to the low gradient and
low flows in the drainage lines and lack of substrate.
Conductivity results would be generally classed as ‘Freshwater’ as the results are below 2400 uS/cm, as
would be expected in a river environment.
The Turbidity result at HF02 is slightly elevated above the remaining results but was caused by disturbing
the channel during sample collection. This was unavoidable due to the low flows.
The surface water results do not indicate any gross contamination. The highlighted metals are marginally
elevated above the ANZECC 2000 guidelines; however, the 95% protection level reflects a near pristine
waterway supporting aquatic species and life. Neither the drainage lines nor the North Esk River
(receiving water body) are pristine waterways. Water chemistry in the North Esk River is likely to be
reduced by current and historical inputs and unlikely to be adversely impacted by discharges from the
sampling locations based on the analytical results.
The TPH (Silica Gel Cleanup) identified in HF03 and HF04 (highlighted) is considered to be more likely due
to road runoff near these sampling locations2 than an indication of possible contamination from the
former landfill.
All surface water results are below the water chemistry data obtained from the leachate pond of a
southern Tasmanian landfill and indicate that the discharge at the sampling locations is unlikely to be
leachate on this occasion. Ongoing monitoring and surveillance of the water quality will clarify whether
this once-off sampling event conclusion is applicable generally.

Piped stormwater drains from the local road network into the drainage line upstream of the sampling locations
6.3 Sediment
The soil results do not indicate gross contamination. Sodium and some metals are elevated above
guideline levels; however, the NSW EPA guidelines reflect soil concentrations for agricultural
environments and are more conservative than the site requires. With the exception of Nickel in HF01 and
HF04, all results are below the trigger levels in the ANZECC 2000 guidelines and no further detailed
assessment would be required at this stage in these locations.
All hydrocarbons are below the analytical level of reporting (LOR) indicating that the Total Organic Carbon
(TOC) and Chemical Oxygen Demand are likely to reflect natural biological concentrations rather than
possible leachate or waste materials or gross contamination.
The elevated TOC in the sediments at HF01 and HF04 are consistent with the observations during
sampling where there was a lot of decomposing vegetation at and around the sampling location.
The results do not indicate that leachate is present in the drainage lines on this occasion but repeat
sampling would be necessary to determine whether this is a general conclusion.
It is recommended that LCC regularly check the drainage lines around the site to observe any changes in
colour or odour in the surface waters or any areas of dying vegetation around the waterways, which may
indicate leachate is leaking. It is also recommended that LCC investigate any areas of ponded water,
particularly in areas where ponding does not usually occur, to check if any localised leachate is
accumulating.
If any works occur on the site and any rubbish is intercepted, works should be stopped and the
coordinates of the area recorded to allow any future remediation or monitoring to target historical filling
areas. Any soil containing rubbish should be sampled and analysed as per Environment Protection
Authority guidelines prior to offsite disposal to ensure that any environmental risks can be adequately
controlled and managed.

General Comments
The analytical procedures used by the Environmental Division have been developed from established internationally recognized procedures such as those published by the USEPA, APHA, AS and NEPM. In house
developed procedures are employed in the absence of documented standards or by client request.
Where moisture determination has been performed, results are reported on a dry weight basis.
Where a reported less than (<) result is higher than the LOR, this may be due to primary sample extract/digestate dilution and/or insufficient sample for analysis.
Where the LOR of a reported result differs from standard LOR, this may be due to high moisture content, insufficient sample (reduced weight employed) or matrix interference.
When sampling time information is not provided by the client, sampling dates are shown without a time component. In these instances, the time component has been assumed by the laboratory for processing purposes.
Where a result is required to meet compliance limits the associated uncertainty must be considered. Refer to the ALS Contact for details.
Key : CAS Number = CAS registry number from database maintained by Chemical Abstracts Services. The Chemical Abstracts Service is a division of the American Chemical Society.
LOR = Limit of reporting
^ = This result is computed from individual analyte detections at or above the level of reporting
l ED045G: The presence of thiocyanate can positively contribute to the chloride result, thereby may bias results higher than expected. Results should be scrutinised accordingly.
l EP026 soil COD: It is recognised that very high soil COD results are reported, especially for samples HF01 and HF04. The results may bias high due to the very high moisture content
obtained. Results should be scrutinisied accordingly.
l EP080: LOR for particular samples raised due to high moisture content.

Holding time for leachate methods (e.g. TCLP) vary according to the analytes reported. Assessment compares the leach date with the shortest analyte holding time for the equivalent soil method. These are: organics
14 days, mercury 28 days & other metals 180 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all non-volatile parameters.
Holding times for VOC in soils vary according to analytes of interest. Vinyl Chloride and Styrene holding time is 7 days; others 14 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all VOC analytes and
should be verified in case the reported breach is a false positive or Vinyl Chloride and Styrene are not key analytes of interest/concern.

Dear Barry
1 Background
The City of Launceston (Council) intends to make improvements to the existing recreation grounds
(Churchill Park Sports Complex) located off Churchill Park Drive, Invermay, Tasmania (the Site). The
majority of the Site has previously been developed (for sports and recreation) on a closed municipal
landfill that stopped receiving waste approximately 30-40 years ago.
The planned development works primarily relate to surface improvements (refer attached figure):
Improvements to permeable surfacing across the existing carpark area (southern section)
Expansion of the existing carpark (southern section)
Improvements to existing sports fields including resurfacing (northern section)
Minor associated landscaping
It is anticipated that these improvements will generally relate to shallow excavation, indicatively up to
300-400 mm depth. This will allow for improvements in base layers (geotechnical requirements) requiring
the importing of controlled fill (such as fine crushed rock (FCR) and/or sand). It is anticipated that deeper
localised excavations will be required to address specific features such as fence foundations and
stormwater system improvements. These features are anticipated to require indicative maximum
excavation depths of 400-750mm. The proposed improvements do not include the addition of buildings
or sealed surfaces.
2 Objective
The objective of this letter is to address requirements within the ‘Potentially Contaminated Land Code’
(the Code), to ensure that the use or development of potentially contaminated land does not adversely
impact on human health or the environment.
This development program has triggered ‘the Code’ in response to the Site being considered potentially
contaminated due to being developed on a closed municipal landfill.
This letter does not represent a contamination assessment of the broader legacy landfill site, but is
specifically designed to address management of the potential contamination in the context of the
proposed improvement works. The key potential receptors are considered to be:
Geotechnical testing included three test pits within the southern section of the site (shown on the
attached figure). This identified relatively consistent ‘cap’ material and thickness across the
investigation area (sandy CLAY 0.9-1.1m thick over municipal waste). No groundwater ingress was
identified during test pitting.
Improvements in the southern section of the Site will generate surplus material requiring relocation
(i.e. on-site reuse for landscaping), and a general increase in surface levels in the northern section of
the Site (i.e. net importing of material).
During the construction phase there are increased risks associated with exposure to potential
contamination (i.e. dermal contact and vapour exposure), primarily associated with excavation works.
This can be effectively managed by incorporating the following tasks into a Construction Environmental
Management Plan (CEMP), so the excavation work does not adversely impact human health (or the
environment):
Exposure to waste
Available information suggests the landfill cap material (soil type and thickness) is relatively
consistent across the southern development footprint (0.9 – 1.1m). The proposed excavation depths
(up to 0.75 m) include sufficient buffer so that excavations should not encounter landfill waste
material itself.
As the potential remains for excavations to encounter waste where the cap thickness is thinner than
identified above (or where excavations are required to be deeper than originally planned), a
response plan is required to ensure the construction team is prepared to address such a scenario.
This would include ceasing work in that area and seeking advice from a suitably qualified
professional in addressing both the risk to workers and management of potentially contaminated
excavated soil.
Where construction workers are required to enter trenches and excavation (i.e. for localised
foundations and/or utility trenches) there is an increased risk of exposure to vapours such as
methane or petroleum hydrocarbons collecting in excavations. If worker access to
trenches/excavation is required, then a suitably qualified professional should be engaged to develop
an appropriate monitoring program to assess exposure risk. This control is not considered necessary
for general resurfacing work.

National Environmental Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure 1999, Schedule B 1 – Guidelines on
Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater, Health investigation levels - Recreational
5 Conclusion
In the context of Clause E2.6.2 of the Code, the improvements (including excavation) do not represent a
potential unacceptable risk to human health or the environment where the works are subject to the
specific protection measures/controls identified above (i.e. development of CEMP controls). This is
because the residual risk is primarily in the underlying waste, and not in the cap material.
Based on our understanding of the intended upgrade works, underlying waste materials is unlikely to be
encountered or disturbed during the works. As such, risks would be limited to unexpected finds within the
capping materials and could be managed through appropriate protocols and procedures which would be
documented in the CEMP as outlined above,
Additionally the end use is consistent with the current recreational use of the Site and does not represent
an increased risk profile. Open space/recreational use is considered desirable for suburban closed
landfills scenarios and is a common use for these types of land

Dear Sir,
A revised master plan is attached which shows the ultimate development of the site as outlined in the
planning submission lodged, please refer to paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2. Hence the reference to the future
path and storage facility. Notwithstanding these elements have been removed from the development
plan. In addition, 2 plans showing the indicative car parking is provided for stage 1 and stages 2 and 3.
Stage 1 includes the elements which will be undertaken initially and for which the Council has funding.
A copy of the certificate of title for each site identified in this application is attached with this letter.
2. Clause E6.0
Indicative car park plans for each of the stages 1, 2 and 3 are attached. This includes the identification of
proposed car park numbers and associated facilities. The indicative layout demonstrates that 550 car
spaces can be provided on site to meet the eventual demand. Please refer to the discussion of the Code
at page 23 of the submission.
Accessible car parking (10) and motorcycle (5) spaces are shown and will be provided as part of stage 1.
The development plan provides an area of 200m 2 located immediately east of the proposed soccer
ground #2. This will allow in excess of 50 bicycle spaces, and will be provided as part of the development
of the new playing fields.
Note that the dimensions for the parking spaces are in accordance with AS/NZS 2890.1 for User Class 2

Consistent
The proposed parking area includes 550 unmarked parking spaces in total, to be developed over three
stages of development. The proposed layout is shown on drawings SK014 and SK015 - Indicative car
parking layouts.
The first stage of development will include 341 standard parking spaces, 10 accessible parking
spaces, and 5 motorcycle parking spaces. Access will be via a 6.5m wide, spray sealed access road
allowing traffic movement in one direction around the main parking area. Accessible parking spaces
will be located in the northern-most section of the proposed parking area, closest to recreational
facilities and sports fields. Motorcycle parking spaces will be located nearby.
A layby area for busses and taxis will be located to the western shoulder of the western-most section
of the access road, which will abut a 1.5m wide gravel path for pedestrian access.
Pedestrian access will be via a shared pedestrian and cycle path to the north and west of the Stage 1
parking area.

Car parking areas proposed for the development will have distinguishable and clear areas for the
convenient and safe manoeuvring and circulation of vehicles, having regard to:
(a) the characteristics of the site. The proposed parking area is located adjacent the site access
point. The proposed access road will loop around the central and largest parking area to improve
access to available parking spaces, improving traffic circulation. This layout will efficiently
concentrate vehicle movements to the parking area and maximise the use of the site for
recreational purposes.
(b) the proposed slope, dimensions and layout. The site of proposed car parking is relatively flat,
enabling the introduction of a total 550 car spaces over 3 stages, designed in accordance with
the requirements of the Code.
(c) vehicle and pedestrian traffic safety. A combined bicycle and pedestrian path adjacent the
northern side of the car park will provide for pedestrian and vehicle separation. Proposed
upgrades include spray sealed bituminous surfacing to the 6.5m wide access road providing
space for vehicles to safely manoeuvre between parking areas and the access road.
(d) the nature and use of the development. The proposed parking area upgrades will improve and
concentrate existing parking facilities that service recreational facilities, including soccer, cricket,
and softball fields, walking and cycling paths, and other recreational uses. General traffic
movements will be restricted to the parking area at the southern end of the site, and existing
vehicle access to the mid-western section of the site will be restricted to service vehicles, helping
to separate vehicles and pedestrians within the site.
(e) the expected number and type of vehicles. Car parking was determined by traffic surveys on
Churchill Park Drive. On a typical Saturday, the maximum parking accumulation within the site is
around 428 vehicles (at 12.00 pm). Parking accumulation is over 380 for 3 hours between 10.00
am and 1.00 pm. The ideal parking supply was calculated at 500 spaces, based on the following
formula: peak demand = 85% of total supply. Accounting for 10 years growth at 1.0% pa., the
minimum parking supply is 550 car parking spaces. It is noted that the existing car park located
at the mid-western side of the site will be retained until all new staged car parking works are
complete so as to ensure that parking demand for ongoing use of the site is met in the interim.
The type of vehicles accessing the site are expected to be typical family vehicles.
(f) the nature of traffic in the surrounding area. The subject site is at the end of Churchill Park Drive
and traffic in this location is either to or from Churchill Park Sports Grounds (the subject site).
(g) the provisions of Australian Standards AS2890.1 - Parking Facilities, Part 1: Off Road Car
Parking and AS2890.2 Parking Facilities, Part 2: Parking facilities - Off-street commercial vehicle
facilities. The design of the proposed parking area is consistent with provisions of AS2890.1.

Safe pedestrian access will be provided with the proposed and upgraded car park and pathways,
having regard to:
(a) the characteristics of the site. Vehicle access will be concentrated in the general access area at
the southern end of the subject site, which will improve separation between pedestrians and
vehicles. Pedestrian-only access will be available at the south-eastern side of the site via a
pathway that will be located north of the proposed parking area and access road.
(b) the nature of the use. The primary use of the site is for recreation. The concentration of parking
facilities to the south-eastern section of the site will improve separation of pedestrians and
vehicular traffic.
(c) the number of parking spaces. A total of 550 car parking spaces will be provided in 3 stages to
meet eventual demand following construction of the new sports fields.
(d) the frequency of vehicle movements. A survey of uses associated with the site on a typical
Saturday suggest that traffic movements coincide with the scheduling of games ranging from 8
am to late afternoon. The agglomeration of vehicle parking in the southern sector of the site, and
improvements in terms of formalising site ingress and egress achieves greater safety for all
pedestrians.

(f) the location and number of footpath crossings. No footpath crossings of the access road are
proposed. Pathways to the north and west of the Stage 1 parking area will provide for pedestrian
access around the parking area and into and out of the site proper.
(g) vehicle and pedestrian traffic safety. Formalising access and parking achieving greater
separation between vehicle and pedestrian movement will increase safety by achieving formal
separation and more obvious use delineation.
(h) the location of any access ways or parking aisles. The proposed access arrangements and
clearer delineation of site function is achieved with the new car parking layout which adds
significantly to the relative safety of site users. .
