ITEM 3 (Continued) HOTA PROJECT UPDATE REPORT STAGE 1 LG235/46/03/01(P1) 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND

OPERATIONAL PLAN Gold Coast 2020 Corporate Plan The project vision aligns directly with the core themes and values of the Gold Coast 2020 Corporate Plan. The most relevant Signature Action to the Cultural Precinct in the Corporate Plan 2020 is: Plan and develop the city’s cultural heartland at Evandale with a world class Cultural Precinct connected to Surfers Paradise via a cultural corridor. Culture Strategy 2023 The strategy identifies key strategic outcomes and catalysts for change. The Gold Coast Cultural Precinct is identified as a key catalyst for change, with outcomes detailed below: Strategic Outcome 1: Our Culture is distinctly Gold Coast Strategic Outcome 2: A place where culture is everyday Strategic Outcome 3: A community that values its cultural heritage Strategic Outcome 4: A city where creativity creates opportunity Economic Development Strategy 2023 A key activity of the Economic Development Strategy 2023 is to “develop the city’s cultural heartland at Evandale with a world class Cultural Precinct and parklands connected to Surfers Paradise via a cultural corridor”. A key plan of the Economic Development Strategy is the Destination Tourism Management Plan (DTMP), which cites delivery of Infrastructure and Investment Attraction as a Strategic Priority (Section 3). A Signature Action within Section 6 (Nature and Culture) is to deliver two ‘catalyst projects (which) provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the City’. These include the GC2018 cultural and entertainment program and the Cultural Precinct. The Gold Coast Cultural Precinct is described as “a cultural and tourism activity hub for the city including an Arts Museum, Artscape, Arts Centre and Art Walk to Surfers Paradise”. 7 FUNDING AND RESOURCING REQUIREMENTS Budget/Funding Considerations With the decision by Council to proceed with the green bridge and new art gallery as part of a revised stage 1 of the Cultural Precinct, an updated funding plan was adopted at Council meeting 31 July 2018 (G18.0731.021). 8 RISK MANAGEMENT Stage 1 has a project Risk Register which identifies potential risks and outlines suggested strategies to mitigate these risks.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Not Applicable. 3 PURPOSE OF REPORT At the Special Budget Committee on 10 June 2019, Transport and Traffic Branch was requested to provide Council with an update on the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) M1 Exit 57 Interchange Upgrade project and if there were any implications for the City’s Global Plaza access improvement project. The purpose of this report is to address this request and provide the most up to date information for both projects. As both projects are located in a close proximity, the interchange upgrade proposed by TMR could potentially have impacts on the local road network operations in the area, including Global Plaza. This report also presents a concise summary of a joint traffic modelling assessment undertaken by the City and TMR in September 2018 that informed the interchange upgrade project. 4 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS Not Applicable.


ITEM 4 (Continued) EXIT 57 OXENFORD INTERCHANGE UPGRADE AND GLOBAL PLAZA ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TT1017/113/17(P1) 5 DISCUSSION 5.1 Background The current configuration of the Exit 57 Oxenford interchange does not provide sufficient capacity to meet traffic demand. This causes heavy congestion for almost all traffic movements that use the interchange. Queuing and congestion extends onto the M1 shoulder during peak periods leading to significant safety issues. The Queensland Government has committed $25 million to upgrade the interchange, with construction scheduled to start in late 2019 and be complete in 2020. As part of the upgrade, the interchange will be fitted with next generation traffic signal controllers. These controllers will provide better efficiency and flexibility by automatically adjusting traffic signal timing based on real-time traffic conditions. Since TMR started the preliminary design in September 2018, officers from Transport and Traffic Branch have worked with TMR officers to identify the most appropriate and achievable solutions for this interchange upgrade project. 5.2 Land use growth projections The city’s north is expected to have significant future traffic growth due to planned residential and commercial development in the Coomera area. The latest population projections from Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO) suggest that the population in the City’s northern suburbs will continue to increase rapidly, with Coomera projected to experience growth of around 18% per annum, from 13,807 in 2016 to 47,906 in 2031 and 75,606 in 2041. Whilst improvements will be made to public and active transport network in urban expansion areas, the majority of transport demand growth will occur on the road network. As such this unprecedented population growth will add significant pressures to the road network in the area, which is already at capacity. 5.3 Previous planning TMR undertook a business case for the Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange upgrade in 2017. The business case identified Option 5 (detailed in Figure 1 below and Attachment 4.1) as the preferred option for the preliminary design.

ITEM 4 (Continued) EXIT 57 OXENFORD INTERCHANGE UPGRADE AND GLOBAL PLAZA ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TT1017/113/17(P1) Transport and Traffic Branch provided advice to TMR that Option 5 should not be progressed due to identified deficiencies and stakeholder impacts. 5.4 Current planning In mid-2018, TMR started the preliminary design stage for more conventional upgrade options for the interchange. To ensure a ‘one network’ approach was taken, officers from Transport and Traffic Branch have been working with TMR to undertake joint transport modelling and advocate for upgrade options with minimum impacts only to be progressed into design and construction phase. A number of upgrade options were analysed during the preliminary design phase. Most of these options had significant flaws in the design and would not provide sufficient traffic capacity to reduce current congestion in the area.

ITEM 4 (Continued) EXIT 57 OXENFORD INTERCHANGE UPGRADE AND GLOBAL PLAZA ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TT1017/113/17(P1) 5.4.1 Preferred design In December 2018, a new upgrade option (Option 2b, detailed in the Figure 2 below and Attachment 4.1) was identified by TMR as the preferred option to progress further into preliminary and detailed design phase. Transport and Traffic Branch has been continuing to work with TMR to refine this option.

Figure 2 – Option 2b layout Option 2b would have the same construction cost of $25 million as Option 5 (i.e. the 2017 Business Case), but provides a comparatively conventional upgrade to the interchange by adding extra east-west through lanes on Hope Island Road and right turn lanes on the eastern service roads. Option 2b provides signalised double left turn lanes from Heathwood Drive and maintains the existing double right turns from Hope Island Road into Heathwood Drive. Retention of this turning movement is considered critical for reducing congestion at the western intersection, as it creates additional green time and capacity for the left turn traffic from Heathwood Drive. TMR are still proposing some right turn bans at the western intersection with this new configuration for the upgrade. These include banning right turns from both Old Pacific Highway (southern approach) and Heathwood Drive (northern approach).

new turn facilities currently under

investigation by TMR


ITEM 4 (Continued) EXIT 57 OXENFORD INTERCHANGE UPGRADE AND GLOBAL PLAZA ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TT1017/113/17(P1) It is understood that these proposed turn bans will cause some impact on the local road network. However, these arrangements will provide extra east-west capacity at the western intersection and better access to the M1 from Heathwood Drive by simplifying the traffic signals at this location. In recent months, TMR have investigated the feasibility of providing a number of supplementary works in the area to minimise the traffic impacts on the local road network, including the City’s Global Plaza access improvement project. These mitigation measures include: A new mid-block u-turn facility on Tamborine-Oxenford Road. This facility is

considered critical as it provides an alternative route for right turning traffic from Old Pacific Highway (approximately 500 vehicles per hour during peak periods) to access the M1 and Hope Island Road. Without this u-turn facility, the existing right turn movements on Old Pacific Highway will have to rely on Leo Graham Way to egress this area.

New right turn facilities on Old Pacific Highway to access the 7-Eleven service station and Hungry Jacks. Without these facilities, traffic from Heathwood Drive will have to u-turn at Old Pacific Highway/Leo Graham Way to access these developments.

TMR officers advised at a technical meeting on 20 August 2019 that the upgrade design had been completed and that the proposed stakeholder engagement and public consultation would commence following the official announcement by the Minister of Transport and Main Roads. 5.4.2 Transport Modelling Results The joint transport modelling undertaken by TMR and the City has identified that Option 2b would provide extra capacity to the Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange and significantly improve traffic operation in the area. Once upgraded the southbound travel time on Heathwood Drive would reduce from the current 22 minutes to less than five minutes, whilst the queue length will reduce from the current 1.5 km to approximately 200 metres during peak periods. Traffic performance before and after the proposed interchange upgrade are compared in Figure 3 to 6 below. The red lines identified within the figures indicate congestion on the network.

ITEM 4 (Continued) EXIT 57 OXENFORD INTERCHANGE UPGRADE AND GLOBAL PLAZA ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TT1017/113/17(P1) 5.4.3 Strategic network considerations The proposed Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange upgrade provides additional traffic capacity and better traffic operation in the short to medium term. The upgrade however will not address the long term traffic needs for the area. It is important to note that other strategic road infrastructure projects proposed by the Queensland Government, such as the Coomera Connector and Beattie Road overpass, will be required to cater for the growth and increasing local and cross motorway travel. It is broadly accepted by TMR (and City) transport planners that long-term traffic demands in the area will require more substantial investments on transport infrastructure, such as Coomera Connector and its supporting network upgrades, and a potential Beattie Road overpass. Forecast interchange performance during peak periods in 2031 are shown in the Figure 7 and 8 below. Figure 7 - 2031 traffic conditions – Option 2b at 8:00am

ITEM 4 (Continued) EXIT 57 OXENFORD INTERCHANGE UPGRADE AND GLOBAL PLAZA ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TT1017/113/17(P1) 5.5 Global Plaza access improvement project Vehicles currently experience difficulty with ingress and egress to businesses with driveways on Global Plaza during peak periods. Of concern is the congestion surrounding the group of driveways accessing McDonalds, the BP service station and the Bunnings/Kmart joint access driveway. The Global Plaza access improvement project proposes to: improve ingress and egress to businesses along Global Plaza improve the safety of all road users along Global Plaza reduce congestion in surrounding network. Transport and Traffic Branch is currently investigating various options to upgrade Global Plaza to provide safe and efficient access to the businesses while managing any impacts from the Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange Upgrade. Potential upgrade options, which are currently under consideration, include the following: installation of multiple roundabouts provision of a shared two-way right turn lane provision of protected right turn pockets at multiple locations road widening between existing footpaths, centre median to separate turning traffic

and removal of most trees. The project is currently funded in the road network capital program and is scheduled for design in 2019-20. Construction is due to commence in 2020-21, with completion in 2021-22. 5.6 Potential impacts on Global Plaza Depending on the final Exit 57 upgrade configuration that TMR will adopt, there may be some impacts to the local road network, in particular the two roundabouts on Leo Graham Way, due to traffic re-assignment if a u-turn facility cannot be provided on Tamborine-Oxenford Road. These potential impacts are summarised as follows: Northbound traffic on Old Pacific Highway would drop by approximately 400 vehicles

per hour during peak periods due to the proposed right turn ban at the western intersection.

Southbound traffic on Old Pacific Highway would increase by approximately 300 vehicles per hour during peak periods.

Westbound traffic on Leo Graham Way would increase by approximately 400 vehicles per hour during peak periods.

REDACTED


ITEM 4 (Continued) EXIT 57 OXENFORD INTERCHANGE UPGRADE AND GLOBAL PLAZA ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TT1017/113/17(P1) It should be noted that this traffic re-assignment is expected to have negligible impacts on Global Plaza, which is used by local traffic only. As the Global Plaza access improvement project is still within an option assessment phase, any impacts and traffic changes to the corridor associated with the Exit 57 upgrade can be easily accommodated within project detailed design. Transport and Traffic Branch will also further investigate alternative access arrangements for the area as part of the preparation of a new Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP). This will ensure intersections in the area have sufficient capacity to cater for the long term traffic growth. Upon completion of the investigation, projects identified will be candidates for preliminary planning and design, and included in the 10 Year Road Network Plan. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND

OPERATIONAL PLAN TMR’s Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange Upgrade and the City’s Global Plaza access improvement project will help to achieve the following objectives of Gold Coast 2022 (the City's Corporate Plan), specifically: 1.1 Our city provides a choice of liveable places

The project supports improved accessibility and safety to increase the liveability and affordability across the city to enhance the lifestyle, local economy and attractiveness to visitors and business.

2.3 We have infrastructure that supports productivity and growth

The project supports the Oxenford local centre to drive the economy, link business and employment and increase investment.

3.3 Our community is inclusive and supportive

The project supports the development of an inclusive transport system to make the city a better place to live and visit for people of all ages and ability.

Further supporting these objectives, the Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031 (Transport Strategy) is a key Corporate Strategy that sets the 20 year strategic outlook for developing the city’s transport network to 2031. The project will support the City’s efforts to achieve the long-term transport targets set out in the Transport Strategy. 7 FUNDING AND RESOURCING REQUIREMENTS The M1 Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange Upgrade will be funded and delivered by the Queensland Government. The City will not be providing funding towards this upgrade nor is there an expectation from the Queensland Government to do so. The Global Plaza access improvement project is currently funded by the road network capital program

REDACTED


ITEM 4 (Continued) EXIT 57 OXENFORD INTERCHANGE UPGRADE AND GLOBAL PLAZA ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TT1017/113/17(P1) However, the City may need to consider providing additional funding towards local network upgrades in the area if the supplementary turning facilities on Tamborine-Oxenford Road and Old Pacific Highway are not provided by TMR. The scope and order of cost of the supporting roadworks will need to be quantified once TMR have finalised design for the Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange Upgrade Project. Works may include alternative access to the area, rationalisation of traffic lanes, intersection upgrades and improved active transport linkages. Details of these required works will be investigated as part of the LGIP 2 planning. 8 RISK MANAGEMENT The M1 Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange Upgrade project is a Queensland Government project, led by TMR. All project risks relating to its planning, design, delivery and operation will be for TMR to manage. This includes risks relating to public safety, reputation, community consultation, funding, procurement, property acquisitions, construction access, property access, traffic management, environmental impacts and residential amenity.

As such, there is no existing corporate or directorate risks associated with the M1 Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange Upgrade project.

However, there are some potential risks for the City relating to the local road impacts and Global Plaza access improvement project:

TMR is currently investigating the feasibility of providing an alternative local access arrangement, such as a new mid-block u-turn facility on Tamborine Oxenford Road and right turn facilities on Old Pacific Highway, to mitigate the impacts of banning right turn movements from Old Pacific Highway.

There may be a financial risk/impact to the City with the additional road upgrade requirements for Old Pacific Highway and Leo Graham Way if these local access arrangements on Tamborine-Oxenford Road and Old Pacific Highway cannot be provided by TMR.

Further work to identify the scope and order of cost of these local road upgrades and how to best manage them is required once TMR have finalised design for the Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange Upgrade project.

City officers have been involved in providing input and advocacy into the M1 Exit 57 Oxenford Interchange Upgrade project, with a view to mitigating the above risks and will continue to liaise with the TMR project team to ensure transport issues are adequately considered. 9 STATUTORY MATTERS Not Applicable. 10 COUNCIL POLICIES Not Applicable.
