1 Introduction
This report has been prepared in support of a Development Application being lodged
by Commercial Project Delivery on behalf of Canning Dental Pty Ltd for use and
development of a dental practice at 97 Bathurst Street, Launceston.
The report provides an assessment against the relevant provisions of the Launceston
Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (‘The Planning Scheme’).
2 Site and Surrounds

2.1.1 Location
The subject site is located at 97 Bathurst Street, Launceston and constitutes three
titles (see Figure 1).

The Land
The subject site is legally comprised of three titles as shown in Table 1 below:
Address Title Reference Owner Approx Land

Area
97 Bathurst Street 226732/1 Tasmanian 541m2
Investments Pty
Ltd
Investments Pty
Ltd
Investments Pty
Ltd
A copy of the titles is included as Appendix A.
The largest title contains a double storey building which was previously used as the
Polish Hall for Launceston. A single storey kitchen annex extends off the northern side
of the building.
The two smaller titles to the north are currently used for car parking with access from
Bathurst Street.
Topography
The land falls from the rear boundary towards Wellington Street.
Natural Values
The subject site is a fully developed urban lot. It therefore does not contain any
significant natural values. Most of the site is sealed with runoff managed by an on-site
stormwater system which discharges into the reticulated system.
Natural Hazards
The subject site is not shown on the Planning Scheme maps as being subject to a
potential flooding and landslip hazard. It is not located within or near bushfire prone
land.
Heritage
The subject site is not heritage listed either locally or at State level.
Surrounding Area
The subject site is in a commercial area along Bathurst Street. Land to the north, east
and south is zoned commercial and includes a range of businesses. The land directly

Date
to the north contains a car park associated with an energy business whilst the land
directly to the east comprises a car sales business.
Directly opposite the site is the Brickfields reserve which acts as a buffer to the
residential properties further to the west.
Infrastructure Services
2.8.1 Transport Network

The site is currently access via a single crossover onto Bathurst Street. There is a second
crossover located at the northern end of the site however this is currently not utilised.
2.8.2 Reticulated Services

The subject site is a fully serviced urban lot located in a commercial area.

Proposed Use and Development
3.2.1 Development
It is proposed to redevelop the former Polish Hall at 97 Bathurst Street for use as a
dental surgery with associated parking.
The redevelopment utilises the existing building structure with some minor internal
demolition proposed.
The ground floor will contain two entrances to the building being directly off Bathurst
Street and via a new access from the car park along the northern façade. This entry
point will be accessed via both a ramp and stairs.
The ground floor will comprise the reception and waiting area, offices, x-ray room,
sterilization room and 8 surgery rooms. The annex will be redeveloped into a staff
room with toilet and kitchen facilities.
Page |5
PLANNING EXHIBITED
DOCUMENTS
Ref. No: DA 0063/2019
Date
The hall within which the dental surgery is to be located will have a number of internal
roofs installed which will create single storey spaces over the surgeries, admin areas
and laboratory while the sterilization and reception/waiting areas will have double
height ceilings.
Level 1 will contain a training room and two new tenancies for which approval as an
office is sought. These spaces do not have a lessee as yet but given the most likely
outcome is that they will be used as office space, approval is sought on this basis and
if an alternate discretionary use is proposed, then separate approval will need to be
obtained.
In terms of changes to the external façade, for the most part existing windows and
openings will be retained and the building simply repainted. Changes to the façade
are as follows:
• Canning St – removal of existing stairs and entry.

• Bathurst St – New timber framed glass double doors at the entry and new plants
in the planer box.
• Car Park – erection of a new colorbond awning over the new entry point.
3.2.2 Signage
A number of new signs are proposed in order to identify the new dental surgery.
They are summarised in the table below.

3.2.3 Access and Car Parking

Vehicular access is to be via a new crossover onto Bathurst Street into the car park
which has capacity for 15 car spaces including an accessible space. Car spaces 13 and
14 will be utilised for staff parking with the balance of 13 spaces available for patient
parking associated with the dental surgery. Staff employed at the dental surgery will
be required to park off-site. It is noted that the Bathurst St Council public car park
adjacent to Dan Murphy’s is 400 metres from the site which is a suitable off-site option
for staff at this site.
3.2.4 Operational Details

The architect has prepared a Statement of Environmental Effects (Appendix C) which
outlines the full operational details of the practice. Key aspects to note are:
• The facility will provide professional dental services including preventative

care, diagnosis, medical or surgical treatment or counselling to outpatients
only;
• Procedures involve initial consultation and examination followed by treatment
of patients where required;
• The length of average appointments varies from a minimum of 30 minutes for
a consultation and examination up to 1-2 hours maximum for treatment;
• Typically, in any given day each dentist will have 2-3, 30 minute appointments
with the balance of the appointments being longer in duration.
• Hours of operation:
• 8.00am-9.00pm Monday-Friday
• 8.00am – 4.00pm Saturday
• Closed Sundays
• Some emergency treatments may be required after hours on an as
needs basis.
• There will be a total of 12 staff on site including 7 dental practitioners, 3
clinical assistants and 2 reception/admin staff.
4 Planning Assessment

Use Categorisation
4.2.1 ‘Business and Professional Services’ use class

The broad use classification for the proposed use is ‘Business and Professional Services’
which is defined as follows in Table 8.2 of the Planning Scheme.
‘use of land for administration, clerical, technical, professional or similar activities. Examples
include a bank, call centre, consulting room, funeral parlour, medical centre, office, post office,
real estate agency, travel agency and veterinary centre.’
In accordance with Clause 4.1, a medical centre is defined as follows:

‘means use of land to provide health services (including preventative care, diagnosis, medical and
surgical treatment, and counselling) to out-patients only’
It is submitted that the proposed use as a dental surgery best fits this definition.
The two vacant tenancies shall be classified as Business and Professional services being
an office for the purposes of this permit.
4.2.2 Approval Status

‘Business and Professional Services’ is identified in the Use Table at Clause 23.2 as
being a discretionary use class in the Commercial Zone. The application also requires
a permit as it does not comply with the acceptable solutions identified below. It relies
on an assessment against the associated performance criteria.

Commercial Zone Provisions
4.3.1 Zone Purpose

23.1 Zone Purpose
23.1.1 To provide for large floor area retailing and service industries.
23.1.2 To provide for other large area uses, such as car yards, bulky goods
sales, warehouse and showrooms in the areas of high traffic volumes
and high passing visibility.
23.1.3 To ensure uses support and do not threaten the established activity
centre hierarchy.
The Zone Purpose statements are relevant to the exercise of the general
discretion which applies to the ‘business and professional services’ use class in
accordance with Clause 8.10.2 of the Interim Planning Scheme. They are
considered individually below.
23.1.1 Whilst the proposal to redevelop the existing building to utilise it as a
dental surgery does not provide large floor area retailing and service
industries, it is submitted that the use of this site as a ‘medical centre’ is
appropriate and enables the proponent to have synergies between this
site and his other practice at 99 Canning St, some 50 metres from the
subject site. This unique ‘hall’ style building lends itself to conversion to
a medical practice rather than a large format retailer.
23.1.2 This unique ‘hall’ style building lends itself to conversion to a medical
practice or office rather than a large format retailer which would likely
require the demolition of the building.
23.1.3 Consistent. The use of the site for a Medical Centre and associated car
park will not threaten the established activity centre hierarchy. There is
no retailing proposed that will threaten the centres identified in the
established activity centre hierarchy.

sensitive uses in the area;
(d) the topography of the site;
(e) background levels;
(f) any mitigation measures
proposed; and
(g) the character of the
surrounding area.
Complies with P1.
Given the site is within 100m of residential properties located on the opposite
side of Canning Street, the proposal must be assessed against the PC. It is
submitted that the redevelopment of the existing building and car park for use
as a Dental Surgery operating between 8.00am – 9.00pm will not impact on the
residential amenity of the dwellings on Canning Street, which are located within
the Commercial Zone and are not afforded the same amenity as if they were
situated in a residential zone. It is likely most of the dentists will work within the
typical hours of 8.30am – 5.00pm with only a couple working later on any given
day if at all. The proposed times have been put forward to give the practice the
flexibility to service all patients.
There is no entry to the building from Canning St and all vehicular traffic will
enter the site via Bathurst Street with the building acting as a buffer to residential
uses. The surrounding area has a commercial character and it is submitted that
use of the site as a Dental Surgery is not a high impacting use.
23.3.3 Retail impact

Objective
To ensure that the impact of retail and business use and development is
appropriate.
A1 If for a no permit required or P1 Uses must have acceptable

(b) the products and services

sold;
(c) the proximity to the Central
Business zone or the activity
centres of Mowbray and Kings
Meadows; and
(d) the proximity to a major road
and public transport system
that links activity centres.
Complies with P1.
Business and Professional Services – Medical Centre is a discretionary use in the
zone, therefore assessment against the PC is required. As discussed in the
assessment against the zone purpose statements, the proposed development of
a new Medical Centre (Dental Surgery) will not impact the viability of the activity
centre hierarchy. There is no large-scale retailing proposed that will threaten the
centres identified in the established activity centre hierarchy. The proponent has
chosen this site given the potential of the former Polish Hall for redevelopment
into a dental surgery with very few major structural modifications required and
the fact it is within 60m of his current practice at 99 Canning Street.

park, this presentation to the streetscape will remain unchanged. A setback of

3m from the street frontage would result in the loss of two car parking spaces
when it is critical to the operation of the Dental Surgery that car parking on site
is maximised. There is still adequate space between the car parks and the
frontage for landscaping which will assist in screening the car park.
The property immediately adjacent to the north also has car park and hardstand
area that extends to the frontage so parking at the street frontage is not out of
context with the surrounding streetscape character.

Whilst technically a new access is proposed, it is simply replacing an existing
access to the site in a location 6m further to the north. As stated in the TIA, there
is potential to generate more than 40 vehicle trips per day and therefore must be
assessed against the Performance Criteria.
The proposed development is expected to generate up to a total of 311 vehicle
movements per day which is minimal in the overall traffic movements along

4.4.6 Car Parking and Sustainable Transport Code E6.0

The Traffic Impact Assessment (Appendix D) has been prepared by GHD Pty
Ltd to assist in the assessment against the standards in the Code.
Code Purpose
E6.1.1 a) ensure that an appropriate level of car parking facilities are

provided to service use and development;
b) ensure that cycling, walking and public transport are supported as
a means of transport in urban areas;
c) ensure access for cars and cyclists and delivery of people and
goods is safe and adequate;
d) ensure that parking does not adversely impact on the amenity of
a locality;
e) ensure that parking spaces and accesses meet appropriate
standards; and
f) provide for the implementation of parking precinct plans.
In accordance with Clause 8.10.2 of the Interim Planning Scheme, the Code
Purpose is relevant to the exercise of discretion in relation car parking numbers
(Clause E6.5.1 P1), and, Design and layout of Parking Areas (E6.6.2).
The purpose statements are considered separately below. They comprise a list
of matters which Council is to have regard to in assessing consistency. Some of
the matters are not relevant, however all of them have been addressed. In an
overall sense, the Code seeks to provide an appropriate level of parking facilities,
which will be provided on-site for the proposed use as determined by an
empirical assessment of car parking demand in the Traffic Impact Assessment.
a) It is submitted that the number of car parks provided is appropriate to
enable the dental surgery to operate with a maximum of 7 practitioners on
site at any one time. There are two key factors in this assessment; being the
availability of on-street parking in the area and the average length of
appointment times being 30 minutes or longer in duration. The
appointment lengths means that unlike in a GP clinic, it is likely that each
dentist will only have a maximum of 2 patients on-site at any given time.
b) There are cycling, walking and public transport routes in the area.
c) The access to the existing car park will be relocated 6 metres further north
and as determined by the TIA assessment is satisfactory in terms of sight
distance.
d) The proposed parking will adversely not impact on the amenity of a locality
because its mixed use nature means that it is already characterised by high
levels of on-site parking and traffic movements.

PLANNING EXHIBITED
DOCUMENTS
Ref. No: DA 0063/2019
Date
a) The Bathurst Street Car park is situated 400 m to the north of the site and a
likely location for staff to park all day within. It is submitted that it is not
unreasonable or uncommon situation for businesses not to provide on-site
parking for staff.
b) The site doesn’t accommodate multiple uses that are likely to be visited by
individuals at the same time. Given the majority of car parking spaces on site
will be dedicated patient parking (as staff will be directed to park off-site), it
is considered that given appointment duration, that there will likely always be
availability on-site.
c) There is a Metro bus route along Bathurst Street with a stop located in
Canning St, 70m from the site and one on Bathurst St, 80m south of the site.
Anecdotal evidence from the proponents who also operate Canning St Dental
at 99 Canning St, around the corner from the site, indicates that patients do
travel to the practice by bus.
d) The site is constrained in terms of the available hardstand area.
e) As per section 5.1.2 of the TIA, a parking survey of the immediate surrounds
has been undertaken and determined that at the three time periods of the
survey 10am, 1pm and 4pm, and that on average at least 3 spaces were
available in each of the survey zones with the majority (11) available in Zone
5 which is in Bathurst St immediately outside of the subject site. The area
immediately in front of the site is 3hr parking which is more than sufficient
for average appointment times. On this basis it is considered there is ample
on-street parking to account for any shortfall in patient parking (although it
is noted that it is submitted that there is adequate patient parking provided
for on-site.
f) Section 5.1.3 provides a detailed supply and demand assessment. The
proposed dental practice will have a total of 7 dental practitioners with
appointments typically ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The average
appointment time is expected to be around 45-60 minutes.
It is expected that each practitioner will be seeing one patient at a time, with
the potential for an additional patient in the waiting room ready for the next
appointment. Given scheduling of long appointment durations (i.e greater
than 30 minutes), significant overlap of waiting patients is unlikely compared
to other types of medical uses (e.g general practitioner).
On the basis of the above assumption, the expected parking demand is as
follows:
• Patients being seen 7 spaces
• Patients waiting 7 spaces
• Office visitors 2 spaces

TOTAL 16 spaces
Two spaces on site will be allocated to staff, leaving the remaining 13 spaces
for patient use. The parking surveys indicate that on-street parking on Bathurst
Street along the site frontage is underutilised with a spare capacity of 10 or
more spaces, and there is also some spare capacity along Canning Street. There
is considered sufficient public parking in the immediate surrounds to
accommodate the expected overflow of around 3 patient vehicles.
g) Given the proposed car park is currently used as car park there will be no
impact on streetscape.
h) The TIA accompanying the proposal has determined there is sufficient car
parking to be provided on site and available in the surrounding streets to
cater for the proposed development and no recommendations around
providing additional parking have been made.

Table E6.2 requires the access width to be 4.5 m which is compliant, however the
TIA recommends this be widened to 6m. The proponent is comfortable if this is
made a condition of permit
The car parking bays are 2.5 metres wide x 5.4 metres deep and there is in excess
of 2.1 metres of vertical clearance. This width does not comply with the
requirements of Table E6.3 but does comply with AS2890.1 and is considered
acceptable. The proposed car park is constrained by the layout of the building
and access ramp. In order to maximise the number of spaces available for use by
patients, it is necessary to make concessions with regard to parking space width.
The design width of 2.5 metres is consistent with the design standards of User
Class 2 as defined in AS2890.1.
It is noted that the proposed development may be more appropriately classified
as a User Class 3 facility (i.e short term parking), however the only difference in
design standards between user classes 2 and 3 is a 0.1m increase in parking space
widths.
In this case, the reduced space widths are offset by a significant increase in the
aisle width to 6.9 metres (compared to the User Class 2 requirement of 5.8
metres). The wider parking aisle will improve two of the primary aspects of car
park design being:
• Manoeuvring into and out of parking spaces;
• Entering and existing vehicles – due to improved manoeuvring allowing
vehicles to park more centrally within parking spaces.
The parking spaces in the rear corner of the car park (designated spaces 13 and
14) are the most restricted with regard to manoeuvring. It is proposed that these
spaces will be allocated to staff parking and therefore will typically attract only
one entry movement in the morning and one exit in the evening. The remainder
of the car park will often be empty while these spaces are being accessed. Figures

Five of the above signs do not meet the permitted standard and must be
assessed against the Performance Criteria. In each instance the variation is
relatively minor and given the overall size of the building will not create
unnecessary visual clutter or result in domination of signage on the streetscape.
The ‘tree graphics’ whilst exceeding the permitted dimension for a wall sign, will
be subtle in their appearance and largely see through. The Canning Street wall
sign only slightly exceeds the maximum overall dimension and has been
designed to sit within the wall panel on which it is located which is a better
visual outcome.
The banner and horizontal projecting signs do not meet the required clearance
but still allow pedestrians to pass under them with no risk of injury. None of the

signs will result in a risk to pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The number of signs
proposed are necessary to identify the site and business within it. Two of the
signs (the building fascia signs) simply provide the street name and number on
each street frontage. There is then a wall sign on each façade and signage that
denotes entry locations as well as the tree graphic which add visual interest and
aesthetic appeal to the building.

b. No more than 3 individual signs with fewer, more effective signs; and
in total. c. Duplication of messages or

Complies with P3
There are a total of 7 wall signs proposed of these, 3 are graphics which are
semi translucent. A total of two building fascia signs are proposed denoting the
site address and then there is one each of a banner and horizontal projecting.
It is submitted that the large size of the site with multiple street frontages and
justifies multiple signs. The signs have been designed to ensure pedestrians and
vehicular traffic can readily identify the site and given Bathurst Street is a one-
way street it is important that vehicular traffic can identify where the site is
before it passes the car park.

A sign must not be illuminated A sign must not result in unreasonable

c. The hours of operation of the

d. Whether the sign is visible from
the road; and
e. The character of the surrounding
area.
Complies with P4
The two illuminated signs are small in size and the illumination will alert
motorists to the them without being of distraction. It is proposed the signs
would be illuminated from 6am to 11pm. Their location is such that illumination
will not impact on any sensitive uses. Due to the commercial nature of the area
and the number of businesses within it, there are a range of signs of varying
size and styles and it is submitted that the illumination of two small wall signs
will not impact on the character of the area.

5 Conclusion
The proposed use (Business and Professional Services – medical centre) being for the
purposes of a dental surgery is generally discretionary in the Commercial Zone, and
additional discretions arise from Planning Scheme standards which deal with the use,
setbacks, streetscape, increased level of traffic movements and car parking numbers
and signage,
It is submitted that the proposal to redevelop the existing building on site for use as
a dental surgery with two office tenancies is an excellent example of adaptive reuse of
buildings in Launceston. The existing façade will largely be retained and it is submitted
that the level of signage proposed will add visual interest to the building and is
commensurate with both the size of the site and the number of road frontages it has.
A combination of both appointment times and on-street parking availability means

that in this instance a parking ratio of 2 spaces per practitioner is acceptable. It is
expected that the majority of dental surgery staff will park off-site or walk or ride to
work. The site is also well served by public transport which offers further options for
patients and staff alike.
On the basis of this information contained in this report, the application is considered
to include sufficient information to enable Council to consider the proposed use and
development and make a determination in accordance with Clause 8.10 of the Interim
Planning Scheme.

7.0 – PROCEDURES FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT:
7.1 Ordinary Waste:

There will be no copious amounts of ordinary waste produced by the dental clinic. Normal
weekly rubbish collections are all that will be required, for ordinary waste.
7.2 Water Waste:

Water waste from the dental surgeries is protected from metal contamination in 2 ways:
a. There is a catchment filter in the spittoon on the dental chair, which is cleaned out and
collects any metals present in the water. All collected metals are stored under water and
collected for recycling.
b. There is a filter basket in the suction waste, which collects any metals present. This is
cleaned out and the collected metals are stored under water and collected for recycling.
c. All X-ray development is digital and involves no chemical processing.
7.3 Contaminated Waste:

Used needles, scalpels and other sharps are placed in a special color coded container and
collected by a company specializing in the regulated disposal of contaminated waste.
Any absorbent waste holding blood, saliva and any body tissue, is collected in a specially
identified container, and collected by a company specializing in the regulated disposal of clinical
waste.
8.0 – HERITAGE CONSERVATION AREA - CHARACTER STATEMENT:
8.1 Architecture:
The proposed facility will not affect the architectural character of the area. All modifications to
the front of the building will be minimal and limited to maintenance and will be carried out to
match the existing character of the building and surrounding area.

2. Existing Conditions
2.1 Transport Network

For the purpose of this assessment the transport network is considered to comprise of the
following roads within the Launceston CBD:
 Bathurst Street
 Wellington Street
 Canning Street
Each of the above roads are examined in detail in the following sections.
2.1.1 Bathurst Street
Bathurst Street is a Class 1 – Primary Arterial and part of the National Land Transport Network.
Bathurst Street connects from Midland Highway at its southern end to East Tamar Highway at
its northern end. Bathurst Street is a one-way, northbound road and forms a couplet with
Wellington Street travelling in the southbound direction. Together, Bathurst Street and
Wellington Street provide the main north-south transport corridor through Launceston catering
for heavy volumes of passenger traffic and freight.
Bathurst Street comprises of three lanes travelling in each direction, with additional turning
lanes at key intersections. Parallel on-street parking and footpaths are provided along Bathurst
Street. The majority of intersections are signal controlled.
The intersection of Bathurst Street and Canning Street is signalised, and forms part of the
Launceston SCATS network along with other closely spaced junctions to the north and south
including Frederick Street and Elizabeth Street.
SCATS daily traffic profile for Bathurst Street is included in Figure 2 and Figure 3 for the
Frederick Street and Canning Street junctions respectively. It can be seen that despite having
peaks from 7:30 am – 9:30 am and 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm, volumes are consistently high from 7:00
am through to 7:00 pm.
The key traffic statistics for Bathurst Street are estimated based on 2018 SCATS data as
follows:
 Average daily traffic 22,200 vpd
 AM peak (8:00 – 9:00 am) 1910 vph
 PM peak (4:00 – 5:00 pm) 1770 vph

2.1.2 Wellington Street
Wellington Street is also a Class 1 – Primary Arterial and part of the National Land Transport
Network. Wellington Street connects from East Tamar Highway at its northern end to Midland
Highway at its southern end and forms the southbound counterpart to Bathurst Street.

Wellington Street comprises of three lanes travelling in each direction, with additional turning
lanes at key intersections. Parallel on-street parking and footpaths are provided along Bathurst
Street. The majority of intersections are signal controlled.
SCATS daily traffic profile for Wellington Street is included in Figure 4 Canning Street junction. It
can be seen that despite having a peak from 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm, volumes are consistently high
from 7:00 am through to 7:00 pm with a steadily growing trend across this period.
Being the main southbound transport corridor through Launceston, Wellington Street is subject
to consistently high traffic volumes throughout the day. The key traffic statistics are estimated
based on 2018 SCATS data as follows:
 Average daily traffic 22,700vpd
 AM peak (8:00 – 9:00 am) 1960 vph
 PM peak (4:30 – 5:30 pm) 1810 vph
Figure 4 SCATS lane count data for Wellington Street and Canning Street
2.1.3 Canning Street
Canning Street is a local CBD street that runs east to west and intersects Bathurst Street and
Wellington Street. Canning Street has a single lane travelling in each direction with signalised
intersections that form part of the SCATS network at Bathurst Street and Wellington Street.
Either side of these junctions Canning Street intersects with other local streets at roundabouts.
SCATS traffic data for Canning Street is provided in Figure 3 and Figure 4 for Bathurst Street
and Wellington Street junctions respectively. The key traffic statistics for Canning Street
(between Wellington Street and Bathurst Street) are estimated based on 2018 SCATS data as
follows:
 Average daily traffic 3440 vpd (1880 eastbound, 1560 westbound)
 AM peak (8:00 – 9:00 am) 260 vph (170 eastbound, 90 westbound)
 PM peak (4:30 – 5:30 pm) 300 vph (160 eastbound, 140 westbound)

2.2 Road Safety Performance

Crash data was obtained from the Department of State Growth for the most recent 5-year time
period (January 2014 to December 2018) for the following key roads:
 Canning Street between Margaret Street and Charles Street,
 Wellington Street between Frederick Street and Balfour Street, and
 Bathurst Street between Frederick Street and Balfour Street.
The majority of crashes on Bathurst Street in the vicinity of the subject site were ‘same lane/rear
end’ crashes (Crash Type 130). Cross traffic (Crash Type 110) crashes were also prevalent at
signalised intersections along Bathurst Street.
A summary of incidents occurring in the area of interest over the past 5 years is provided in
Table 1 and the locations are presented in Figure 5.

There were a total of 57 Crashes recorded on the key roads assessed in this report, with 17 of
those resulting in injury. The relatively high number of crashes is considered to be primarily a
result of the high volumes of traffic on Wellington Street and Bathurst Street and the couplet
providing major thoroughfare through Launceston, rather than being due to any specific road
safety deficiency.
The presence of ‘emerging’ type crashes on Bathurst Street highlights the need to ensure
adequate sight distance at the proposed site access point.

3. Proposal
3.1 Proposed Development

The proposal includes the redevelopment of the existing building at 97 Bathurst Street to a new
dental practice. The practice will include eight surgery rooms as well as a waiting area, toilet
facilities, storage, kitchen facilities and other staff facilities. Operating hours will be:
 Monday-Friday 8:00 am – 9:00 pm
 Saturday 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
The building will also include two rooms on level one available for sub-letting having areas of 44
m2 and 52 m2. It is assumed that these rooms will be leased as office space along with the level
one amenities.
The building will utilise the two existing entrance points, the street entry from Bathurst Street
and the current ramp entry from the car park which will be converted into a disabled access
ramp and entry stairs. The existing car parking area will be utilised for patient parking. Staff
parking will not be provided on-site.
3.2 Traffic Generation
3.2.1 Survey-based data sources
Indicative trip generation rates for medical centres based on Gross Floor Area (GFA) based on
surveys undertaken in 1991 and published in the RTA Guide (RMS, 2002) are as follows:
 Morning peak
– Range 4.4 to 19.0 veh/hr/100 m2 GFA
– Average 10.4 veh/hr/100 m2 GFA
 Evening peak
– Range 3.1 to 19.4 veh/hr/100 m2 GFA
– Average 8.8 veh/hr/100 m2 GFA
More recent surveys were undertaken in New Zealand in 2010, and published by the NZ
Transport Agency, based on more modern facilities offering a range of professional health care
services including dentists, general practitioners, physiotherapy and other services. Suggested
traffic generation rates are 3 to 6 trips per hour per health professional or 5 to 12 trips per 100
m2 GFA during the peak hours, which are generally around 10 am to midday and 3 pm to 4 pm.
The ITE Trip Generation Manual provides indicative traffic generation rates for a ‘medical-dental
office building’ defined as a facility that provides diagnoses and outpatient care on a routine
basis but unable to provide prolonged in-house medical and surgical care.
The rates are as follows:
 Daily
– Range 23.16 to 50.51 veh/day/1000 ft2 GRA
– Average 36.13 veh/day/1000 ft2 GFA
 Morning peak (peak of generator)
– Range 1.21 to 7.49 veh/hr/1000 ft2 GFA
– Average 3.62 veh/hr/1000 ft2 GFA

DOCUMENTS
Ref. No: DA 0063/2019
Date
 Evening peak (peak of generator)
– Range 2.21 to 7.60 veh/hr/1000 ft2 GFA

– Average 4.45 veh/hr/1000 ft2 GFA
The above trip generation rates are summarised in Table 2. Note that rates are quoted on a ‘per
100 m2 GFA’ basis.
Table 2 Summary of survey-based traffic generation rates (per 100 m2 GFA)
Source Daily AM Peak PM Peak
RTA (2002) - 10.4 veh/hr 8.8 veh/hr
NZTA (2011) - 5 to 12 veh/hr 5 to 12 veh/hr
ITE (7th Edition) 38.9 veh/day 3.9 veh/hr 4.8 veh/hr
Adopted 75 veh/day 7.2 veh/hr 6.8 veh/hr
Adopted rates per 100 m2 GFA are provided in the final row of Table 2. These have been
estimated for the AM and PM peak periods by averaging the RTA (2002) and ITE (7th Edition)
rates and extrapolated to daily rates using a factor of 10.7x, reflecting 4 practitioners working for
9 hours (8 am – 5 pm), with 3 practitioners extending to the full 13 hours where the practice is
open (8 am - 9 pm).
Based on the discussion provided above, and given a total GFA of 417 m2 for the dental surgery
(listed on Development Plans), the proposal is expected to generate trips as follows:
 Daily 311 vehicle trips per day
 AM Peak 30 vehicle trips per hour (two-way)

 PM Peak 28 vehicle trips per hour (two-way)
This has been benchmarked against a ‘first principles’ assessment in the following section.
3.2.2 First principles assessment
The proposed dental practice will have a total of 7 dental practitioners. While there are 8 surgery
rooms it expected due to the number of practitioners that only 7 of these will be in use at any
one time.
Appointments will range from 30 minutes to 2 hours with the average appointment duration
expected to be in the range of 45-60 minutes, however as a conservative approach, a 30 minute
duration has been assumed. Therefore, the total traffic generated by the site can be estimated
from first principles based on the information presented in Table 3.
Table 3 First principles traffic generation estimates
Period Basis Appointment Trip rate Hourly trip

Business hours 7 practitioners 30 minutes 2 trips per 30 28 trips per hour

Extended hours 3 practitioners 30 minutes 2 trips per 30 12 trips per hour

(5 pm – 9 pm) min

DOCUMENTS
Ref. No: DA 0063/2019
Date
Based on the information in Table 3, the total traffic generated by the site based on first
principles will be around 28 vehicles per hour. Based on the operating hours of 8:00 am – 9:00
pm, with all practitioners operating 8:00 am – 5:00 pm and three (3) practitioners operating in
the extended period to 9:00 pm, it is anticipated that the site could generate up to 300 vehicles
per day.
This is generally consistent with the survey-based assessment provided in Section 3.2.1 and
has been adopted for this report.
3.2.3 Office tenancies
For the two office tenancies (level one) the traffic generation rates provided in the RMS
technical direction TDT 2013/04, Guide to Traffic Generating Developments Updated traffic
surveys, 2013, have been adopted:
 Daily trips 11 veh/day/100 m2 GFA
 Morning peak hour 1.6 veh/hr/100m2 GFA
 Evening peak hour 1.2 veh/hr/100 m2 GFA
Based on the above, and given a floor area of 96 m2, the office component is likely to generate
11 vehicle trips per day, with 2 vehicle trips per hour in the morning peak and 1 vehicle trip per
hour in the evening peak.
This is in addition to the traffic generation of the dental practice detailed in the above sections.
3.2.4 Planning Scheme Assessment
Clause E4.5.1-A3 of the Planning Scheme states that: “The annual average daily traffic (AADT)
of vehicle movements, to and from a site, using an existing access of junction in an area subject
to a speed limit of 60km/h or less, must not increase by more than 20% or 40 vehicle
movements per day, whichever is the greater.”
Given the potential for the site to generate more than 40 vehicle trips per day, the development
will be assessed against the Performance Criteria P3 which states: “Any increase in vehicle
traffic at an existing access or junction in an area subject to a speed limit of 60km/h or less,
must be safe and not unreasonably impact on the efficiency of the road…”
The performance criteria are addressed in Section 6 of this report.

4. Site Access
4.1 Access Arrangements

The proposal prescribes the construction of a new driveway and crossover from Bathurst Street
to the site carpark for entry and exit. The new access will be located approximately 6 m north of
the existing egress point to be removed and therefore located further downstream of the
Bathurst Street / Canning Street intersection.
Location of existing egress
Proposed two-way access
Figure 6 Site layout showing proposed access location
Clause E4.6.2-A2 of the Planning Scheme states: “No more than one access providing both
entry and exit, or two access providing separate entry and exit, to roads in an area subject to a
speed of 60km/h or less.” The proposal meets the Acceptable Solution of the Planning Scheme.

4.2 Access Design

Clause E6.6.2-A1.1(b) of the Planning Scheme states that: “Car parking, access ways,
manoeuvring and circulation spaces must … have a width of vehicular access no less than the
requirements in Table E6.2, and no more than 10% greater than the requirements in Table
E6.2.”
Based on the site plan including 15 car parking spaces, with reference to Table E6.2 of the
Planning Scheme the internal access way width requirements are as follows:
“ (a) A minimum width of 4.5m for the first 7m from the road carriageway and 3m thereafter”
The site plans provided indicate a crossover width of 4.5 m. However, given the location of the
access point on a major road (Bathurst Street) it is recommended that a full 6 m wide crossover
and driveway be provided to allow vehicle passing. There are no apparent constraints on the
site that should prevent this change.
4.3 Sight Distance Assessment

Clause E4.6.4-A1 of the Planning Scheme states that: “Sight distances at … an access or
junction must comply with the Safe Intersection Sight Distance shown in Table E4.6.4.” From
Table E4.6.4, the minimum sight distance for a frontage road speed of 60 km/h is 105 metres.
Bathurst Street is straight and there are no major obstructions to sight distance, such that the
minimum sight distance required by the Planning Scheme is available at the proposed access
point. The proposal is considered to comply with the acceptable solution.
It was noted on a visit to the site that parked vehicles on Bathurst Street may have the ability to
inhibit sight distance from the access. It is recommended that parking restrictions (NO
STOPPING signage or similar) be provided for a short distance on the south side of the
driveway to ensure sight distance is uninhibited.
4.4 Pedestrian Access

Clause E6.6.3-A1.1 of the Planning Scheme states that: “Uses that require 10 or more parking
spaces must … have a 1m wide footpath that is separated from the access ways or parking
aisles, except where crossing access ways or parking aisles … be signed and line marked at
points where pedestrians cross access ways or parking aisles.”
A 1.2 m wide footpath is provided connecting between the existing footpath and the building
entrance in compliance with the acceptable solution. It is recommend that wheel stops be
provided to prevent vehicles encroaching on the path (see Figure 7).

4.5 Service Vehicles and Deliveries

Clause E6.5.5 1-A1 of the Planning Scheme states that: “A loading bay must be provided for
uses with a gross floor area greater than 1000 m2 in a single occupancy.”
The GFA of the proposal is does not exceed 1000 m2 therefore a loading bay is not required to

5. Parking Assessment
5.1 Car Parking
5.1.1 Planning Scheme Assessment
Clause E6.5.1-A1 of the Planning Scheme states that: “The number of car parking spaces must:
… not be less than 90% of the requirements of Table E6.1.”
A dental practice would fall under the “Doctors’ surgery, clinic, consulting room, veterinary
surgery” use category which dictates 4 car parking spaces per registered practitioner. With 7
practitioners Table E6.1 requires 28 parking spaces.
The two proposed tenancies have a combined area of 96 m2 and would fall under the “office”
use category which requires 1 space per employee + 1 space per 50 m2 of gross floor area.
Assuming 2 employees, the requirement is for an additional 4 parking spaces bringing the total
requirement calculated in accordance with Table E6.1 up to 32 spaces.
Therefore, the acceptable solution would require a minimum of 29 parking spaces to be
provided on the site. The proposal includes the provision of 15 car parking spaces (including
two spaces allocated to staff) which represents a shortfall of 14 spaces. The proposal therefore
relies on performance criteria (E6.5.1-P1) which are as follows:
“The number of car parking spaces for other than residential uses, must be provided to
meet the reasonable needs of the use, having regard to:
(a) the availability of off-road public car parking spaces within reasonable walking
distance;
(b) the ability of multiple users to share spaces because of:
(i) variations in car parking demand over time; or
(ii) efficiencies gained by consolidation of car parking spaces;

(c) the availability and frequency of public transport within reasonable walking
distance of the site;
(d) any site constraints such as existing buildings, slope, drainage, vegetation and
landscaping;
(e) the availability, accessibility and safety of on-road parking, having regard to the
nature of the roads, traffic management and other uses in the vicinity;
(f) an assessment of the actual car parking demand determined in light of the
nature of the use and development;
(g) the effect on streetscape; and
(h) the recommendations of any traffic impact assessment prepared for the
proposal.”
The performance criteria are addressed in Section 5.1.3 of this report.
5.1.2 Parking Surveys
A parking survey was undertaken by GHD of the immediate surrounds to the subject site. The
locations surveyed are depicted in Figure 8. The site was surveyed at 10:00 am, 1:00 pm and
4:00 pm. These times were selected to broadly represent the activity periods for the proposed
development.

5.1.3 Demand and Supply Assessment
Parking Demand
The proposed dental practice will have a total of 7 dental practitioners with appointments
typically ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The average appointment time is expected to be
around 45-60 minutes.
It is expected that each practitioner will be seeing one patient at a time, with the potential for an
additional patient in the waiting room ready for the next appointment. Given scheduling of long
appointment durations (i.e. greater than 30 minutes), significant overlap of waiting patients is
unlikely compared to other medical type uses (e.g. a general practitioner).
On the basis of the above assumptions, the expected parking demand is as follows:
 Patients being seen 7 spaces
 Patients waiting 7 spaces
 Office visitors 2 spaces
 TOTAL 16 spaces
Two spaces on the site will be allocated to staff, leaving the remaining 13 spaces for patient
use. The parking surveys described in Section 5.1.2 indicate that on-street parking on Bathurst
Street along the site frontage is underutilised, with a spare capacity of 10 or more parking
spaces, and there is also some spare capacity on Canning Street. There is considered sufficient

Date
public parking in the immediate surrounds to accommodate the expected overflow of around 3
patient vehicles.
Note that with the exception of two staff parking spaces to be provided on the site, staff will be
required to make alternative arrangements including walking, cycling or parking off-site and
walking the last few hundred metres. It is not an uncommon situation for businesses not to
provide on-site parking for staff.
5.2 Other Parking Requirements
5.2.1 Accessible Car Parking
Clause E6.5.1-A2 of the Planning Scheme states that: “The number of accessible car parking
spaces for use b persons with a disability for uses that require 6 or more parking spaces must
be in accordance with Part D3 of the National Construction Code 2014, as amended from time
to time.”
The current document is the National Construction Code 2019. Based on the Code, the
proposed development will fall into Class 9a (health care centre). The minimum requirements
are as follows:
 Class 9a 1 space for every 50 carparking spaces or part thereof.
The proposal has 15 car parking spaces with 1 space designated to disabled parking. The
proposed development therefore complies with the acceptable solution.
Clause E6.6.2 of the Planning Scheme states that: “A1.2 - All accessible spaces for use by
persons with a disability must be located closest to the main entry point to the building.
A1.3 - Accessible spaces for people with disability must be designated and signed as accessible
spaces where there are 6 spaces or more.
A1.4 - Accessible car parking spaces for use by persons with disabilities must be designed and
constructed in accordance with AS/NZ2890.6 – 2009 Parking facilities - Off-street parking for
people with disabilities.”
The supplied accessible car park is provided immediately adjacent to an access ramp to be
designed to AS1428.1. It is recommended that the accessible space with be signed as
accessible in order to comply with A1.3. The dimensions detailed on the site plan of the parking
meet the required dimensions of AS2890.6, it is assumed that the car park and adjacent area
included bollard will be designed to meet these standards. The accessible parking complies with
the acceptable solution.
5.2.2 Bicycle Parking
Clause E6.5.2-A1 of the Planning Scheme states that: “The number of bicycle parking spaces
must be provided on either the site or within 50m of the site in accordance with the requirements
of Table E6.1.”
A dental practice would fall under the “Doctors’ surgery, clinic, consulting room, veterinary
surgery” use category for which Table E6.1 dictates no bicycle parking required. The proposed
development therefore complies with the acceptable solution.
The office tenancies would require 1 bicycle parking space per 500 m2 gross floor area,
generating a requirement for 1 bicycle parking space. It will be difficult to provide secure bicycle
parking for employees within the car park given the limited space available. It is recommended
that an area for bicycle storage for employees be provided within the building.

5.2.3 Taxi Parking

Clause E6.5.3-A1 of the Planning Scheme states that: “Except for dwellings in the General
Residential zone, uses that require greater than 50 car spaces by Table E6.1 must provide one
parking space for a taxi on site, with one additional taxi parking space provided for each
additional 50 car parking spaces required.”
The proposed development does not require greater than 50 car spaces and therefore does not
require taxi parking.
5.2.4 Motorcycle Parking
Clause E6.5.4-A1 of the Planning Scheme states that: “Except for dwellings in the General
Residential zone, uses that require greater than 20 car parking spaces by Table E6.1 must
provide one motorcycle parking space on site with one additional motorcycle parking space on
site for each additional 20 car parking spaces required.”
Table E6.1 of the Planning Scheme requires 32 parking spaces which generates a requirement
for one motorcycle parking space to be provided. The parking demand assessment provided in
Section 5.1.3 indicates that the actual parking demand would be 16 spaces typically which is
less than 20 spaces and would generally not require motorcycle parking.
Provision of a motorcycle parking space would necessitate the removal of a car parking space
and would be a net negative outcome for the development. Furthermore, motorcycles can utilise
car parking spaces if required when no motorcycle parking is provided.
On the above basis, the proposal should not be required to provide dedicated motorcycle
parking.
5.3 Car Park Layout

Clause E6.6.2-A1.1 of the Planning Scheme states that: “Car parking, access ways,
manoeuvring and circulation spaces must: (a) provide for vehicles to enter and exit the site in a
forward direction where providing for more than 4 parking spaces; … (c) have parking space
dimensions in accordance with the requirements in Table E6.3; (d) have a combined access
and manoeuvring width adjacent to parking spaces not less than the requirements in Table E6.3
where there are 3 or more car parking spaces.”
Table E6.3 requires the following:
 Combined access and manoeuvring width 6.4 m
 Car park width 2.6 m
 Car park length 5.4 m
The proposed car park has space widths of 2.5 metres and aisle widths ranging from 5.8 metres
to 6.9 metres. The proposal relies on performance criteria which are as follows:
Car parking, access ways, manoeuvring and circulation spaces must be convenient, safe
and efficient to use, having regard to:
(a) the characteristics of the site;
(b) the proposed slope, dimensions and layout;

(c) vehicle and pedestrian traffic safety
(d) the nature and use of the development
(e) the expected number and type of vehicles

(f) the nature of traffic in the surrounding area; and

(g) the provisions of Australian Standards AS 2890.1 and AS 2890.2
The proposed car park site is constrained by the layout of the building and access ramp. In
order to maximise the number of spaces available for use by patients, it is necessary to make
concessions with regard to parking space width. The design width of 2.5 metres is consistent
with the design standards of User Class 2 as defined in AS 2890.1.
It is noted that the proposed development may be more appropriately classified as a User Class
3 facility (i.e. short term parking), however the only difference in design standards between user
classes 2 and 3 is a 0.1 m increase in parking space widths.
In this case, the reduced space widths are offset by a significant increase in the aisle width to
6.9 metres (compared to the User Class 2 requirement of 5.8 metres. The wider parking aisle
will improve two of the primary aspects of car park design being:
 Manoeuvring into and out of parking spaces
 Entering and exiting vehicles – due to improved manoeuvring allowing vehicles to park
more centrally within parking spaces.
The parking spaces in the rear corner of the car park (designated Spaces 13 and 14) are the
most restricted with regard to manoeuvring. It is proposed that these spaces will be allocated to
staff parking and therefore will typically attract only one entry movement in the morning and one
exit movement in the evening. The remainder of the car park will often be empty while these
spaces are being used.
Manoeuvring into and out of the staff parking spaces is demonstrated in the following figures.

6. Transport Impacts
6.1 Traffic Efficiency

The proposed development is expected to generate up to a total of 30 vehicle movements per
hour and 311 vehicle movements per day (see Section 3.2). The increase in existing traffic
volumes on key roads is examined in Table 5.
Table 5 Change in movement traffic volumes
Road Existing Assumed Additional Proposed Change

Proportion
Bathurst 22200 100% +311 22511 ~ 1%
Street
Canning 3440 50% +156 3596 ~ 5%
Street
Wellington 22700 50% +156 22856 < 1%
Street
Note that the existing use of the site (Polish Hall) has not been discounted from the traffic
generation and therefore, the above estimates are considered conservative. The proportional
change in traffic flow on Bathurst Street and Wellington Street is very small, representing
around 1% of existing traffic volumes, and will have minimal impact on the existing network.
Furthermore, it is likely that any traffic generated by the proposed development will simply be
redirected from other facilities in the surrounding area and the traffic is likely already using these
arterial roads.
The most notable impact is on Canning Street. The proportion applied is conservative and at
most likely to apply to Canning Street between Bathurst Street and Wellington Street. An
additional 15 vehicles per hour in Canning Street is approximately an extra 1 vehicle every 2
cycles and will therefore have minimal impact on the capacity of junctions and queuing.
6.2 Road Safety

No significant detrimental road safety impacts are foreseen for the project. This is based on the
following:
 The existing crash history does not indicate any specific road safety deficiencies in the
external road network that might be exacerbated by the additional traffic generated by the
proposal. The commonly occurring crash type includes same lane / rear end incidents
which should not be caused as a result of the development
 There is sufficient sight distance at the access point to comply with Planning Scheme
requirements
It is acknowledged that the traffic generated by the proposed development will increase traffic
volumes in the busy couplet of Bathurst Street and Wellington Street however the percentage
increase in volume is very low and can readily be absorbed by the network.
6.3 Pedestrians and Cyclists

The existing pedestrian infrastructure and direct street entrance to the proposed development
off Bathurst Street provide safe access for pedestrians to the development. It is not anticipated
that the development would generate a substantial amount of foot traffic and there is sufficient
infrastructure within the existing road network to support any additional generated demand.

There are no existing formal cycling facilities in the immediate area of the proposed
development. On-road bike lanes are provided on Charles Street and Frederick Street, cyclists
are observed to use the vehicle lanes where bike lanes are not available and are also able to
ride on the footpath in the area of the development. It is not anticipated that the development
will generate significant bicycle traffic (see Section 5.2.2), therefore no infrastructure to improve
cyclist safety is necessary for the development.

7. Conclusions
This Transport Impact Assessment report has investigated the potential traffic and transport
related impacts associated with the proposed dental practice at 97 Bathurst Street in
Launceston.
The key findings are as follows:
 The proposed development is anticipated to generate up to a total of 311 vehicle
movements per day, with around 30 movements per hour. Note that this does not include a
discount due to discontinuation of the existing use and is therefore considered a
conservative estimate.
 The proposed access arrangements are considered to be sufficient to service the proposed
development subject to the following recommendation:
– It is recommended that a full 6 m wide crossover and driveway be provided to allow
vehicle passing
 Adequate sight distance is provided from the access to the proposed development. Note
that it may be appropriate to provide “NO STOPPING” signage immediately upstream of the
access on Bathurst Street to ensure sight distances are uninhibited.
 The proposed car parking supply is considered sufficient to cater for the expected demand
with on-street car parking available along the site frontage if required.
 The expected traffic generation is not expected to have a significant detrimental impact on
the existing road network.
 There are no specific safety concerns with the proposed development. There is a high
historical record of crashes in the area due to the high volume of vehicles however the
development is not expected to exacerbate this.
Based on the findings of this report, and subject to the recommendations outlined above, the
proposed development is supported on traffic and transport grounds.
