RP-1          DA19/0665.02 - Demolition of Existing Structures, Tree Removal and Construction of Hardware and Building Supplies, Garden Centre and Ancillary Cafe - Modification to Permit Light Vehicle Egress, 64 Pearson St, Wagga Wagga

A Motion was moved by Councillors R Foley and G Davies

 

That Council:

a       defer consideration of DA19/0665.02, to modify Development Consent DA19/0665 for ‘Demolition of Existing Structures, Tree Removal and Construction Hardware and Building Supplies, Garden Centre and Ancillary Café’ to permit light vehicle egress to Pearson Street, at Lot 1 DP 798753, 64 Pearson St, Wagga Wagga pending further discussions between Council, Transport NSW and the proponent

b       provide opportunity for parties that have objected to the proposed modification to have input into the process

 

An AMENDMENT was moved by Councillor R Kendall and seconded by Councillor T Koschel 

 

That Council refuse modification application DA19/0665.02, to modify Development Consent DA19/0665 for ‘Demolition of Existing Structures, Tree Removal and Construction Hardware and Building Supplies, Garden Centre and Ancillary Café’ to permit light vehicle egress to Pearson Street, at Lot 1 DP 798753, 64 Pearson St, Wagga Wagga, for the following reasons:

 

a       Without upgrade, the proposed development will result in increased and unacceptable traffic impacts on the road network, and in particular on the performance, efficiency and safety of the roundabout at the intersection of Pearson Street-Edward Street-Sturt Highway-Olympic Highway.

 

b       Due to the traffic impacts on the local road network, Council cannot be satisfied of the matters set out in Section 2.119(2) of State Environmental Planning Policy (Transport and Infrastructure) 2021. In accordance with the requirements of the SEPP, if Council cannot be satisfied of these matters it must not grant consent to the modification application.

 

c        Pursuant to Section 2.122(4)(b)(i) of State Environmental Planning Policy (Transport and Infrastructure) 2021, taking into consideration the comments made by Transport for NSW, the modification cannot be supported due to ‘the impact of the cumulative traffic generation resultant from the revised development on the safety, efficiency and ongoing operation of the existing roundabout at the intersection of Pearson Street, Edward Street (Sturt Highway) and Moorong Street (Olympic Highway)’.

 

d       Pursuant to Section 2.122(4)(b)(iii) of State Environmental Planning Policy (Transport and Infrastructure) 2021, the modification cannot be supported as the proposed modification will result in increased and unacceptable traffic safety and road congestion impacts, particularly without upgrade to the intersection of Pearson Street-Edward Street-Sturt Highway-Olympic Highway.

 

e       The development proposes an additional driveway to Pearson Street within 7m of a break in a median strip, inconsistent with control C5 of Section 2.1 of the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010.

 

f        Impacts on the Pearson Street-Edward Street-Sturt Highway-Olympic Highway roundabout will accelerate the need for a substantial upgrade to this intersection, which would be at considerable cost to the community, and may result in removal of u-turn opportunities at this point. This is not considered to be in the public interest.

 

g       To overcome the impacts on the intersection of Pearson Street-Edward Street-Sturt Highway-Olympic Highway, the applicant has proposed to signalise the intersection of Pearson Street and the Sturt Highway within five years. Funding of these works not been clearly identified. This arrangement and the upgrade relies on the agreement of Transport for NSW, and may rely on financial commitment from Transport for NSW, however, the modification is not supported by Transport for NSW.

 

h       The proposed condition to secure upgrade of the intersection of Pearson Street-Edward Street-Sturt Highway-Olympic Highway does not address the road safety issues previously identified (such as traffic weaving from the exit point to the right lane at the roundabout) in the five year period until the intersection is upgraded, nor is it clear that the intersection upgrade would resolve these (post upgrade).

 

Councillor G Davies signalled a FORESHADOWED AMENDMENT to the Mayor.
