1. INTRODUCTION 

This planning statement has been prepared in relation to an application by the Peregrine Corporation, for the 

development of a motor sport facility together with a range of ancillary and additional activities, on land 

located adjacent to the intersection of the Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway, south of Tailem Bend. 

The majority of the subject land accommodated the former testing facility for Mitsubishi Motors Australia 

Limited and formerly the original Tailem Bend Drag Strip. 

The subject land is located in the Motorsport Park Zone, as identified by Map CooD/5 of The Coorong District 

Council Development Plan. 

The proposed development (including various components comprising the overall development) is not 

identified as being either a complying or a non‐complying form of development in the Motorsport Park Zone, 

and therefore must be assessed on merit. 

Having regard to the public notification categories listed in the Motorsport Park Zone, the proposal is a 

Category 2 form of development, noting that development is proposed within 60 metres of the boundary of 

the zone. 

The following sections of this planning statement: 

Describe the subject land and locality; 

Provide an overview of the Motorsport Park and Industry Development Plan Amendment, which 

resulted in the rezoning of the subject land in 2014; 

A detailed description of the proposed development; and 

Identification of the relevant provisions of the Development Plan. 

Numerous technical reports have been commissioned by the applicant and should be considered in 

conjunction with this planning statement.  These reports include: 

Tailem Bend Motor Sports Park Precinct Traffic Impact Assessment prepared by GHD; 

Environmental Noise Assessment, prepared by Sonus; 

Tailem Bend Motorsport Park Stormwater Management Plan, prepared by Fyfe; 

Site Hydraulic Infrastructure Advice, dated 18 December 2014, prepared by Lucid; and 

Tailem Bend Proposed Aerodrome Layout for Motorsport Park – Comment on CASA Compliance 

prepared by Aerodrome Design. 

The purpose of this planning statement is to inform the relevant parties of the nature of the proposed 

development.

2. THE SUBJECT LAND AND LOCALITY 

2.1 The Subject Land 

The subject land is located on the south‐eastern corner of the intersection of the Dukes Highway and the 

Mallee Highway in the Coorong District Council, approximately 6.5km south of Tailem Bend and 

approximately 100 km to the south‐east of Adelaide.  The general location of the subject land is identified by 

Figure 1. 

Figure 1: Location of Subject Land 

 

The subject land comprises 9 certificates of title, together with portion of road which is intended to be closed 

ahead of transfer to the Peregrine Corporation.  The current titles which form the subject land include: 

Allotment 100: Certificate of Title Volume 5428 Folio 702; 

Allotment 150: Certificate of Title Volume 5227 Folio 329; 

Allotment 13: Certificate of Title Volume 5157 Folio 328; 

Allotment 331: Certificate of Title Volume 5216 Folio 396; 

Allotment 16: Certificate of Title Volume 5489 Folio 561; 

Allotment 5: Certificate of Title Volume 5784 Folio 361;

PLANNING STATEMENT 

64611‐10‐1 REV A 23/12/2014   PAGE  3 

Allotment 20: Certificate of Title Volume 5489 Folio 143; 

Allotments 28, 415, 416, 418 & 419: Certificate of Title Volume 5155 Folio 27; and 

Allotment 414: Certificate of Title Volume 5345 Folio 926. 

In relation to the road reserve which forms part of the subject land, The Coorong District Council has initiated 

a Road Process Order to close a triangular portion of the unmade Public Road adjacent to the Dukes Highway 

and  merge  with  the  adjoining  Allotment  16  in  Filed  Plan  6160  (Council  owned  land).    Council  has  an 

agreement to transfer Allotment 16 in Filed Plan 6160 to Peregrine Corporation Pty Ltd at the conclusion of 

the road closure process. 

The  subject  land  is  located  approximately 3km  from  the River Murray,  and  is not  located  in wetlands, or 

within the 1956 Flood boundary. 

2.2 The Locality 

Allotments in the locality are of different sizes and configurations and essentially consist of primary 

production in the form of both cropping and grazing, together with scattered vegetation.   

As shown in Figure 2, several isolated dwellings/farms are located within 3 kilometres of the subject land.  

More specifically, it is noted:  

Two dwellings and/or farms are located between the Mallee Highway and Adelaide Road, approximately 

50m north of the subject land; 

One dwelling or farm is located across the Dukes Highway, approximately 590m west of the subject 

land; 

One dwelling or farm is located approximately 600m north of the subject land; and 

One dwelling or farm is located approximately 3km of the south. 

The areas adjoining the subject land to the east and to the north comprise multiple dwellings and/or farms 

and are therefore best described as rural living. 

About a dozen dwellings are located west of the subject land, south‐west of the Dukes Highway and east of 

the Murray River.  

The Poontie Ruwe Conservation Park is located west to the site across the Dukes Highway. The Park’s area is 

of some 239 hectares and is home to the Scented Irongrass tussock grassland, and to native fauna.

3. BACKGROUND 

3.1 Existing Use 

The current track is licensed by CAMS as a “Category C Venue Track” motorsport facility with limited facilities 

shown on Figure 3 below.  

Figure 3:  Current Motor Sport Park Facilities 

 

The facilities include: 

A bituminised 1,400m strip; 

A bituminised 80mx80x skid pan and tributary road network; 

A fenced workshop; 

A storage shed/office; 

An officials tower; 

A fenced compound area;

PLANNING STATEMENT 

64611‐10‐1 REV A 23/12/2014   PAGE  6 

A network of endurance tracks, rally tracks; and  

Internal roadways and a security fenced boundary. 

3.2 Native Vegetation 

In  2002, Mitsubishi was  granted partial  and  conditional  consent  to  clear native  vegetation  subject  to  the 

condition that an area of a minimum of 2 hectares was permanently reserved for native vegetation growth 

and protection.  A Significant Environmental Benefit (SEB) was therefore created. 

Subsequent  to  the  above,  the  Coorong  District  Council  carried  a  Resolution  (Tuesday  15  April  2014)  to 

authorize  the  creation of an SEB on Stony Road, Tailem Bend, as a  substitute  for  the existing SEB  located 

inside the motorsport park, therefore enabling the removal of the current SEB.  

The Native Vegetation Council has issued an Amended Decision Notification which endorses the substitution 

of the current SEB by an alternative SEB of 3.86 hectares on Stony Road.  

3.3 Industry and Motorsport Development Plan Amendment 

On 13 February 2014, the Minister authorised the Industry and Motorsport Development Plan Amendment 

(DPA), thereby amending the Coorong District Council Development Plan. 

A key focus of the DPA was the Tailem Bend Motorsport Park.  The DPA resulted in the rezoning of the 

subject land from Motor Vehicle Track Zone to Motorsport Park Zone. 

The need for the amendment was rationalised as follows: 

The motorsport industry bodies have identified significant demand in relation to the provision of facilities for 

motorsport at all levels, driver education programs, vehicle testing, etc. well in excess of what can be provided for in 

existing locations within South Australia.  This site has been identified as having strong attributes which lends itself to 

the development of this location for these activities and facilities beyond the already frequent use of the site (based on 

infrastructure previously developed by Mitsubishi as a vehicle testing and development site). 

Current provisions for the Motor Vehicle Track Zone are focussed primarily for use as a testing facility rather than for 

motorsport.  There is a need, therefore, to introduce planning policies that will support and guide the development of 

this land for wider motorsport activities, including potential for associated industrial and commercial development 

that would benefit from being in this key locality.

4. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL 

4.1 Overall 

The overall development proposal is based around the continuance and expansion of motor vehicle related 

activities on the subject land, including a motor racing circuit, drag strip, facilities for a range of on‐road and 

off road events and training. The expansion will result in the creation of a motorsport park, comprising a 

range of racing and training facilities.  Ancillary to the motorsport park will be service and retail activities 

(including a petrol filling station, cafes, restaurants and services) and tourist/visitor accommodation.  An 

airstrip and an industrial estate are also proposed. 

4.2 Land Use Activities 

The proposed land use activities are identified on the proposed master plan which accompanies the 

application.  For ease of reference, the proposed land use activities have been categorised.  The proposed 

activities are described in further detail below. 

4.2.1 Motor Racing Circuit

4.3 Access and Roads 

The applicant has commissioned GHD Consultants to prepare a Traffic Impact Assessment. 

In order to evaluate the traffic implications of the proposal on the existing road infrastructure, GHD have had 

regard to the proposed land uses, activities and expected visitation levels. GHD expect that traffic and 

transport will be mostly impacted “during the major event phase with the facilitation of the large crowds at 

the Racing Circuit, Drag Strip and Drift Circuit. [...] Traffic generated during the non‐event periods or general 

operations phase will be nominal compared with existing traffic flows.”  

An Event Traffic Management Plan is recommended in order to “coordinate the short term traffic control 

measures required for event management when anticipated crowd numbers of 3000 or greater are 

expected”. 

Operational traffic levels are expected to be low a majority of the time. Notwithstanding, a number of road 

works are outlined as part of GHD’s recommendations and are as follows: 

A network of new public and private roads capable of providing access for B‐doubles and potentially 

larger vehicles will include “sealed and kerbed section of public roads together with sealed and 

unkerbed sections of private roads”. This network “can be progressively developed to coincide with the

development of the various motor sporting areas and other land uses”. GHD’s report provides plans and 

detailed proposed characteristics for all the public and private roads; 

Extension of and works on Callitris Road;  

A total of four new access points: 

‐ Two primary access points (A &B) located at the corner of the Dukes Highway and the Mallee 

Highway to service the On the Run site, Hotel and Caravan accommodation, Drag Strip and small 

scale event areas;  

‐ Two secondary access points (C & D) off the Dukes Highway and the Mallee Highway to service the 

Business and Industry area and Motor Racing Circuit. 

Access points A, C and D will each require the creation of right‐in lane and left‐in lanes to access the proposed 

development. 

Access point B will be a left‐in left‐out only and will only require the creation of a left‐in lane. The existing 

acceleration/overtaking lane will be removed. 

An existing approved access is proposed to be closed on the Mallee Highway (between access points A and D). 

Formal car parking areas will be provided to cater for the On the Run complex, Hotel and Caravan Park 

complex, Expo Building. There will also be some formal car parks located at the Drag Strip and Pit building.   

Informal or overflow car parks will be provided to support the significant crows that are expected during 

events.  

4.4 Services and Infrastructure 

The applicant has commissioned Lucid to evaluate the impact of the proposal on the SA Power Networks and 

has suggested the following scope of work: 

Installation of an approx 5.6km of overhead 33kV powerline; 

Installation of an approx 2,500m of underground 33kV cables as radial sections to padmount 

transformers; 

Installation of an approx 600m of underground 33kV cables to cross transmission line easements; 

Installation of 6 padmount transformers and 1 pole mounted transformer to supply load centres; 

A total site electrical load of 2,000kVA; and 

All other works to enable the connecting and energizing of the assets detailed above.  

Lucid were also engaged to evaluate the implications of the proposal on existing services and infrastructure 

and the requirement for potential new infrastructure to be established. 

Lucid’s advice, dated 18 December 2014, recommends the following solutions: 

Page 22: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

A new potable water connection; 

Waste water would be treated at the Tailem Bend WWTP. However, Lucid acknowledge that peak flows 

will occur during event times which could not be accommodated by the plant. It is therefore proposed 

to create holding tanks and pump chambers for on‐site storage, for final discharge to TBWWTP 

delivered by a pumping station;  and 

Recycled water will mainly be used for irrigation across the site. It is to be provided from the TBWWTP 

and will be stored on‐site in a blended format along with stormwater.  

4.5 Stormwater Management 

The applicant has commissioned Fyfe to prepare a stormwater management strategy in order to minimise the 

impact of runoff from the development on the surrounding roads and environment. 

The Stormwater Management Plan recommends the below solutions, which are also shown on Figure 4: 

The construction of a detention/retention basin (Basin A) to receive the stormwater runoff generated by Catchment A (western side catchment). The basin is proposed to be part retention and part detention to provide a permanent water body as well as provide adequate flood protection; 

The construction of a large retention basin (Basin B) on the eastern side of the proposed motor racing circuit. This will receive some but not all of the runoff from the motor racing circuit; 

The construction of an open swale from Basin A to Basin B. The swale will be sized to cater for 100 year ARI post development condition. The preliminary size of the swale is based on estimated post development flows and the natural surface contours; 

Surface runoff generated from low risk areas such as car park areas, racing tracks and road surfaces need not be treated before it discharges into any open water body or bio‐swale; 

All stormwater from hard paved areas INCLUDING ROOFS will be directed via a Trash Trap before being retained into the proposed swale and basin network; 

Harvesting of stormwater wherever practicable to reuse within the site for various non‐potable purposes. 

Where  the  peak  100  ARI  stormwater  discharge  from  the  site  (post‐development  to  pre‐development)  is 

unchanged then no extra detention or retention shall be required on the site. 

Where  the  peak  100  ARI  stormwater  discharge  from  the  site  (post‐development  to  pre‐development) 

increases, that increased volume shall be retained, detained on site only to the extent required to reduce the 

excess 100 ARI flows to 5 year ARI flows for runoff into the proposed on site swale and basins. 

In relation to the proposed ‘On the Run’, all stormwater runoff from hard paved areas  in the refuelling and 

fuel delivery area will be captured by grated drains and directed to a BLIND TANK (with an alarm).  This is a 

well developed approach that has the approval of the EPA.

6.2 Motorsport Park Zone 

The proposal  is  located within  the Motorsport Park Zone of  the Coorong District Council  (Consolidated 18 

December 2014).   

 

The zone policies acknowledge the existing use of the land as a motorsport facility (former testing facility for 

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited) and the presence of existing basic motor racing infrastructure. The Zone 

seeks to enhance and expand the existing infrastructure in order to become the State’s premier motor sport 

facility.  

 

Objectives 1‐4 of the zone provide clear guidance in respect to the land uses anticipated within the zone. 

 Objective 1:  The development of the zone as South Australia’s pre‐eminent motorsport facility, catering for a wide 

variety of motoring activity, together with a wide range of supporting development.   Objective 2:  A zone primarily accommodating a multi‐discipline motorsport facility catering for events such as 

motorcycle racing, car racing, drag racing, off road motorcycling, speedway and supercross.   Objective 3:   A zone accommodating an industry precinct catering for motorsport support industries, regional level 

industries, logistics industries and local industries.   

Objective 4:   A  zone accommodating a  retail  service precinct  containing a petrol  filling  station,  car wash  facility, 

convenience store and restaurants. 

 

The following extracts from the desired character for the zone provides the following additional policy 

guidance in respect to land use: 

The development of the motorsport facility will be designed to allow for multiple events occurring at the same time 

together with a wide range of other activities including driver training, product testing, accommodation, tourism and 

conference facilities. By creating the facility in this manner, future growth is achievable for all areas and components 

of  the  facility.  It  is estimated  that  future usage growth will continue  throughout  the various stages of development 

with the maximum capacity of the facility reached in 10‐15 years.  

 

Tourist  accommodation  and  tourism  facilities  of  various  forms  are  envisaged  to  support motorsport  park  events, 

provided  the  location  does  not  compromise  the  operation  of  the  industry  precinct.  A manager’s  residence  and  a 

caretaker’s residence may be established in association with the motorsport park or tourism accommodation, and up 

to five dwellings for workers within the motorsport park development area. Other dwellings are not envisaged, nor is 

land division resulting in a dwelling or dwellings on a separate allotment in the zone.

PLANNING STATEMENT 

64611‐10‐1 REV A 23/12/2014   PAGE  24 

A retail service precinct is envisaged adjacent the intersection of the Dukes and Mallee Highways. The retail precinct will not accommodate bulky goods retailing, comparison retailing, or other forms of higher order retail activities that are more appropriately located in the Tailem Bend Town Centre. Envisaged forms of development include (but are not limited to):   

petrol filling station  

car wash  

convenience store up to 1000 square metres floor area 

dine in and fast food restaurants.  

 

Key elements of future motorsport development could include (but are not limited to): 

 

new sealed racing circuits (long and short course) for cars and motorbikes; 

new drag strip; 

four wheel drive adventure course; 

drift, skid pan, go‐cart and motard courses; 

support infrastructure (pits, workshops, control tower, etc); 

car parking and amenities, which may include informal parking areas for temporary parking for major events; 

development of a central service core area; 

upgrade of the existing sealed test track and skid;  

development of motor cross, enduro, off road, quad bike and rally circuits; 

development of high level facilities (including grand stand capacity, permanent pits and service centres, management centre, function facilities and media centre); and 

shop ancillary to and in association with the circuits, strips, track and or spectator facilities. 

 

The proposal is clearly consistent with the land use expectations of the zone, with the development centred 

around a major motorsport facility, which will incorporate a diverse range of events and activities.  

 

In addition, the proposal provides for the development of an ‘On the Run Complex’ which includes facilities 

anticipated by Objective 4, and the description of the retail service precinct above. 

It is noted that the proposal incorporates tourist accommodation and expo facilities as anticipated by the 

above.  The proposed tourist accommodation will be established on a staged basis. 

 

The overall Masterplan for the site provides for the establishment of a future industrial estate, with a 

separate land division application to facilitate the creation of this development area.  This land use again is 

consistent with the expectations of the zone. 

 

Principle of Development Control 4 refers to a Concept Plan (Figure CooD/15), that identifies two precincts, 

these being: 

 

Northern Motorsport and other Activities; and 

Southern Motorsport and other Activities. 

 

The Concept Plan (reproduced as Figure 5) also indicates the approximate location of the retail and industrial 

precincts.

GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391 | i

Executive summary

Peregrine Corporation is investigating the potential development of an integrated Motor Sports Park

east of Tailem Bend, to upgrade and supplement an existing vehicle test track at this site.

The property is located at the Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway intersection, encompassing a site

of approximately 700 hectares zoned for Motor Sport Park by the Coorong District Council. Full detail

of the site location is provided in Figure 2.

This Traffic Impact Assessment is one of a number of key technical studies that have been carried out

in conjunction with the Development Application, to outline the principal impacts of the transport

related activities associated with this proposed development. The purpose of the report is to provide

traffic management advice on the internal access roads, car parking designs, on site traffic control

measures and access arrangements to integrate the various land uses and manage the traffic

generated by events of various scale.

The report will also identify potential issues and considers impacts on traffic, parking, pedestrian and

cyclist safety and site accessibility, in particular from the perspective of adjacent arterial roads and

local roads.

Recommendations provided in this report are based on current traffic engineering “best practice”,

Australian Standards, Austroads Guidelines and recent experience with the requirements of

Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure /Council.

The key issue with regard to traffic and transport relates to the impacts that are likely to occur from the

transfer of plant and equipment and the additional vehicles accessing the property during the

construction process and when the site is in different “event mode” phases.

Based upon the analysis and discussions presented in this report, the following conclusions and

recommendations are provided:

General operational traffic flows for the vast majority of time can be sustained and do not

compromise the operation or safety of the road network and users.

The development of a detailed Event Traffic Management Plan inclusive of temporary traffic

controls, speed zoning, signage and lane configuration is required when anticipated crowd

numbers of 3000 or greater are expected.

Major events for Drift, Drag or Motor Racing Circuit anticipate spectators and participants in

excess of 10,000 people and as such, the post event traffic management will require dual

egress lanes at Access A and C and support by South Australian Police to manage the

dispersal.

A road network has been established which is capable of providing access for B-Doubles to

various components of the site. It includes sealed and kerbed sections of public roads together

with sealed and unkerbed sections of private roads as detailed in Table 5 and Table 6. The road

network can be progressively developed to coincide with the development of the various motor

sporting areas and other land uses.

Formal and informal car parks are included within the master plan and have been located to

optimise the potential shared use opportunities by different land uses. This includes an

appropriate level of overflow parking provision to cater for major events. The planned parking

demand was determined through consultation with other motor sporting venues and authorities

and is comparative to other venues.

The projected major event crowds can be adequately catered for in the pre-event mode and

parking supply. However post event conditions will generate congestion within the site and at

the junction of Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway which is projected to take approximately

one hour to clear under Police Supervision.

Subject to development approval, it is recommended that the following steps be considered:

1. Finalise Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure approval for connections to

Dukes and Mallee Highways;

2. Finalise the cadastral boundaries within the site of the public road corridors;

3. Prepare concept road design plans and indicative budget estimates;

4. Development of detailed Traffic Management Plans in conjunction with Council, South

Australian Police and Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure after final

road design details are approved; and

5. Obtain any statutory approvals in accordance with the Road Traffic Act.

GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391 | 1

1. Introduction

1.1 Background

Peregrine Corporation is investigating the potential development of an integrated Motor Sports

Park east of Tailem Bend, to upgrade and supplement an existing vehicle test track at this site.

The property is located at the Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway intersection, encompassing

a site of 813 hectares zoned for rural and light industry uses. Full detail of the site location is

provided on Figure 1 Locality Plan.

The proposed development is to include;

A permanent Race Track of an international standard predominantly used for cars and

motorcycles participating in racing competition, test days, driver training, corporate days

and private track hire. The circuit can be operated in 4 configurations, ranging in length

from 3.3kms to 7.2kms and will feature a world class pit building that will include race

control facilities as well as race garages for competitors.

A function centre and multiple corporate suite configurations are also to be provided.

A permanent Drag Strip to cater for events up to international standard racing located

within an amphitheatre styled facility. It will be of world class standard with grandstand

seating, terracing and natural grass mounds for viewing. The Events will include Group 1

national events, state and club based events; and weekly/fortnightly street machine

events.

The facility will also be used for test days, driver training, car and motorcycle clubs and

corporate events. It will feature a main race control building, administration services

corporate facilities, food /beverage, merchandise outlets and a 60m x 15m burnout pad

located in front of the main grandstand seating area.

A permanent Drift Circuit of approximately 1.6 km which has been designed in

cooperation with local and international drift competitors. The track will be able to be used

in multiple configurations, where two tracks can run simultaneously for drift competition

on local, state & national levels, drift practice, testing & ‘come and try’, driver training and

also private hire.

The rally track is a series of short dirt/gravel tracks that will provide for multiple

configurations and will be used predominantly for Rally School; Rally Training; Rally

Sprint; Off road testing; Khanacross and Private Hire.

The existing rally track will be expanded into a 2-3km circuit, purpose built for rally school,

rally sprints and other off-road events.

Rallycross events will be held in a ‘stadium’ style arena located adjacent to the drift track

facility. The rallycross track will consist of 50% bitumen and 50% dirt, used predominantly

for Rallycross racing; practice, test days and Motard.

A “fun” Go kart track facility which will feature go-kart racing for all ages and general

facilities and amenities such as a café and viewing areas. The track will be an

indoor/outdoor layout of approximately 600m which can be changed into multiple

configurations and there will be a separate “junior track” for smaller children.

The 4x4 Adventure Park will make use of the existing quarry and surrounding off road

tracks covering an area of approximately 35-40ha. It will feature rock challenge obstacles,

steep incline descents and off camber sections, water features and obstacles, sand traps

and off road trails.

An airstrip located on the existing drag strip in the northern portion of the site, which will

be upgraded to become a runway with a length of approximately 2 kms to cater for small

chartered type aircraft up to a weight of 5.7 tonnes, which will cater for the typical 12-seat

charter market

This same roadway will be used for VMax events. VMax is essentially a straight road

allowing drivers to push their cars to the limit with regards to power and speed.

A Hotel facility to provide up to 100 rooms, the SAMSP administration office, a restaurant

and bar facility as well as function rooms for a range of events. The caravan and camping

grounds will be administered from the hotel complex.

An Expo building of 5000m2 that will provide a facility for a range of displays, conventions

expos and will serve as a large function centre. It is envisaged that this facility will also

be home to a rejuvenated historic car auctions locality.

A proposed Industrial and Business Park subdivision will be progressively developed on

approximately 42 ha of land in the southern area of the site with each allotment

potentially configured as a hectare. Initially stage one will consist of approximately 14

allotments

This Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) is one of a number of key technical studies that have been

carried out in conjunction with the Development Application, to outline the principal impacts of

the transport related activities associated with this proposed development.

The key issue with regard to traffic and transport relates to the impacts that are likely to occur

from the transfer of plant and equipment and the additional vehicles accessing the property

during the construction process and when the site is in different “event mode” phases.

1.2 Purpose of this Report

To provide traffic management advice on the internal access roads, car parking designs, on site

traffic control measures and access arrangements to integrate the various land uses and

manage the traffic generated by events of various scale.

The report will also identify potential issues and considers impacts on traffic, parking, pedestrian

and cyclist safety and site accessibility, in particular from the perspective of adjacent arterial

roads and local roads.

Recommendations provided in this report are based on current traffic engineering “best

practice”, Australian Standards, Austroads Guidelines and recent experience with the

requirements of DPTI/Council.

3.2 Surrounding Road Network

3.2.1 Major Transport Routes

Patrons to the various events held at the SA Motor Sports Park will be well served by the

existing major transport routes of the M1 and A1 section of the South Eastern Freeway from

Adelaide to the east, carrying the National Highway to Tailem Bend and onto the Dukes

Highway (A8). A journey serviced by almost entirely freeway conditions with only the single

carriageway at the Swanport Bridge breaking the dual carriageway arrangement.

The Dukes Highway (A8) provides the main east-west route to south –western Victoria,

providing a strategic link between Melbourne and the South Australian border. It is primarily a

single lane carriageway in each direction, but with frequent overtaking lanes along the route.

Mallee Highway (B12) provides a strategic link to the north-east, with a potential connection via

the Calder Highway (A79) to the Sturt Highway (A20) another strategic link into Victoria and

New South Wales in particular Sydney. Each of these Highways are single lane carriageways in

each direction with frequent overtaking lanes. Sturt Highway also includes sections of town

centre bypass routes.

The major transport routes are shown in Figure 3

12 | GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391

4.9 Drift Circuit

The proposed 1.6 km Drift Track facility has been designed in cooperation with local and

international drift competitors. The track will be able to be used in multiple configurations, where

two tracks can run simultaneously for drift competition on local, state & national levels, drift

practice, testing & ‘come and try’, driver training and also private hire.

4.10 Go Kart Hire

The proposed Go Karting facility will house a 600 m indoor / outdoor track as well as a separate

45 m ‘junior’ track and building for general facilities and services. The track can be configured

into multiple layouts accommodating for all levels of driving experience. The building houses the

indoor section of track as well as accommodating for workshop & pit area, lockers & briefing

area, leisure & dining area, toilets, reception & office area and grandstand overlooking the track.

4.11 Industrial and Business Park Subdivision

The proposed Industrial and Business Park subdivision will be progressively developed on

approximately 42 ha of land in the southern area of the site and will consist of approximately 14

allotments in the first stage

The target industry for these allotments is motor vehicle repair, tyre repair, minor machining for

motor vehicles, mechanical repairs, storage facilities, support services for motor sport etc. Some

light manufacturing and fabrication activities – e.g. associated with rural and agricultural

equipment and warehousing. No heavy manufacturing is anticipated. Eventually it is envisaged

that 30 -40 Ha of land should yield some 30 – 40 industrial allotments. Some buildings could be

as small as 2,500m2 in area with others up to 4,000 to 5,000m2. It is understood that the

allotment size will be 1 hectare in area each.

5. Comparative Assessment Outcomes

A number of motor sport venues across Australia specialise in particular components of the

planned development, but for a variety of reasons are not in a position to offer the full range of

experiences being planned for the Tailem Bend site.

GHD attempted to make contact with the following motorsport venues which were considered to

be the most similar to the proposed site whereby they provide integrated facilities with multiple

offerings with a mix of metropolitan and rural locations:

Sydney Motorsport Park in Eastern Creek, NSW;

Winton Motor Raceway in Winton, Victoria; and

Calder Park in Calder Park, Victoria.

Of these venues, Sydney Motorsport Park openly provided information relating to major circuit

events at the venue while the other two venues did not disclose any information.

Benalla Rural City Council was able to provide some traffic counts around the Winton Motor

raceway; however they did not coincide with any of the major event timeframes.

Based on the conversation, Sydney Motorsport Park provides major event parking at a rate of

2.5 visitors per space for events up to 25,000 people per day (namely the Top Gear Festival). It

should be noted that the Sydney Motorsport Park is located in the Sydney Metropolitan Area

with nearby access via public transport and taxis.

On this basis, a parking rate of 2.5 visitors per space is considered to be practical and

accordingly has been adopted in this traffic assessment for major events. Whilst public transport

is not a realistic option for the proposed location, a number of vehicles will arrive prior to the

event and stay on site. The proposed parking rate is considered to account for these vehicles

which would arrive and depart pre and post event periods.

6. Traffic Impact Assessment

6.1 Introduction

The Traffic Impact Assessment is one of several key technical studies that will be required in the

preparation of the development application which details the principal impacts of the transport

related activities associated with the development during construction and operational phases of

the project.

The key issue with regard to traffic and transport relate to the impacts likely to arise from the

additional vehicles accessing the development site during its construction and thereafter as part

of normal operation. Particular consideration has been given to the transportation of the

additional equipment and plant to be installed at the site

The proposed development will generate extra traffic during the construction and operational

phases. The traffic generated during the construction phases, however would vary greatly with

that generated during the operational phase.

The construction phase is expected to take up to 17 months and thereafter the site will be

capable of operating for at least 30 years.

6.2 Existing Conditions

It is understood that equipment will be transferred to the site either directly through Adelaide and

Tailem Bend via the SE Freeway and Mallee Highway or Dukes Highway, or alternatively via

Melbourne or Sydney along the routes described in Section 3.2.1. Sealed and well delineated

highways provide the shortest route to the site but local road capabilities will require upgrading.

A location plan of the site is included in Figure 8.

GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391 | 15

6.2.1 Dukes Highway

Dukes Highway is classified as a primary arterial road and is a primary interstate transport route

between South Australia and Victoria. The road is under the care and control of DPTI and is

generally configured with two (3.5 m) traffic lanes divided by a painted centreline (in some

locations a wide centre line treatment) with approximately 1.5m wide sealed shoulders. Dukes

Highway is currently gazetted for Level 2A access under the PBS classification system and

carries approximately 4200 vehicles per day in the vicinity of development site with a speed limit

of 110 km/h. It also includes overtaking lanes south east of the Mallee Highway junction.

6.2.2 Mallee Highway

Mallee Highway is classified as an arterial road form part of a strategic link between the SE

Freeway and Dukes Highway through to the Sturt Highway. This road is similarly under the care

and control of DPTI and is generally configured with two (3.5 m) traffic lanes divided by a

painted centreline and supported by. Mallee Highway is currently gazetted for Level 2A access

under the PBS classification system and carries approximately 950 vehicles per day in the

vicinity of development site with a speed limit of 110 km/h.

6.2.3 Callitris Road

Callitris Road is a local road and under the care and control of Coorong District Council. The

road is unsealed but configured for two-way traffic. This road is currently not gazetted under the

PBS classification system and is estimated to carry less than 50 vehicles per day which are

primarily generated by the rural residential activities in the area.

6.3 Transport Requirements

6.3.1 Construction Phase

The transport requirements of the construction phase will generate a significant proportion of

heavy vehicles, in order to deliver the main race track infrastructure and Building equipment and

materials associated with the proposed On the Run development and Hotel site.

Semi-trailer vehicles and heavy rigid trucks would be able to transport the construction materials

and equipment to the site. It is understood that some local construction capability is available for

supply of equipment, materials and any shortfalls in earthworks plant and crane capabilities are

also available in Adelaide.

Where Council owned roads are to be utilised for transportation of plant, labour and materials,

an agreement may need to be reached between Council and Peregrine Corporation to establish

the maintenance responsibilities of the road during the construction period.

The construction period is projected to take up to seventeen months; however the worst case

scenario in terms of construction traffic loading occurs during a core eight month period.

6.3.2 General Operational Traffic

The operational phase will primarily consist of employee movements associated with the day-to-

day operation of the various activity areas within the site, and visitor numbers occurring during

motor sport events and other occasions.

The projected use of the motor sport circuits could see attendance of small corporate groups

(approximately 40) as an example, on a weekly basis during the working week. Similarly on a

monthly basis, large corporate groups catering for up to 350 people could also be expected.

Supplementing these trips it could also be anticipated that a small number of maintenance

inspection trips would be generated prior to these bookings and catering / cleaning staff on the

day of the Corporate hire of the site. Notwithstanding, these attendances would be nominal

(Ranging between 50 and 500 per day) and therefore it is not considered that specific

temporary event traffic management measures are required for these day-to-day activities.

6.3.3 Event Schedules

The principle issues associated with traffic and transport will be during the major event phase

with the facilitation of the large crowds at the Racing Circuit, Drag Strip and Drift Circuit (which

is not planned to occur concurrently), together with the movement of equipment associated with

these events. Traffic generated during the non- event periods or general operations phase will

be nominal compared with existing traffic flows on the surrounding road network.

Details of the estimated type and frequency of the proposed events are outlined in Table 4.

GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391 | 17

6.3.4 Event Traffic Management Scope

The development of a specific Event Traffic Management Plan (ETMP) to coordinate the short

term traffic control measures required for event management when anticipated crowd numbers

of 3000 or greater (it is unknown whether some of the minor events will be occurring

concurrently) are expected, ensures that equipment is delivered to the required locations and

patrons can access and egress the property with minimal impact on the surrounding road

network, adjacent town centre and adjacent property owners. The ETMP will include:

Designated delivery periods, delivery routes and access points to the site for all materials

and equipment supplied for different locations around the site;

Designated community event speed limits on the Dukes and Mallee Highways;

Directional and warning signage on the designated access routes to the site;

Designated reserved areas on the site for parking, turning, loading and unloading;

Appropriate traffic controls, barriers and management marshals on site to ensure that

vehicles use the designated site access tracks and do not travel off these tracks;

SAPOL and other emergency services support during the extraordinary events;

An inspection and maintenance program for the selected access routes and site tracks, to

ensure these are kept in an adequate and safe condition;

Controls and management measures to ensure safety and confinement of farm stock on

adjacent property are not able to access the site;

Designing and constructing the on-site access tracks (new and upgraded) to ensure that

they are safe and suitable for the selected transportation vehicles; and

Developing and implementing a suitable community information and awareness program

to ensure that residents are fully aware of the proposed transportation plans, timings and

activities.

6.3.5 Major Event Congestion

The new site will have the capability to cater for major events for Circuit, Drag or Drift Motor

Sports. Based upon interstate and local experience, it has been estimated spectators exceeding

10,000 could attend up to four of these events and supplementary to these events are proposed

state or local Drag and Drift events that can be expected to draw a crowd of some 2,000 to

3,000 people.

During the “Post-event” phase when up to an estimated 5,000 vehicles will attempt to leave the

site via any means available. Access point A off Mallee Highway in particular is likely to be

congested and will become the most significant queuing location for the post event traffic

leaving the site after the completion of the major Drag, Drift or Rally events, with a projected

3300 vehicles attempting to leave the site at the same time.

If gateway B off Dukes Highway remains open during the post event phase it will require

considerable Police and other Marshal support to control, illegal right turn movements to

Adelaide and U turn manoeuvres just south east of this site for the same reason.

As such it is recommended that this particular egress be closed at the end of major events in

the interest of road safety.

“Post-event” temporary traffic management schemes for the Drag Strip and Drift Programs have

been discussed with SAPOL and DPTI and will require further details for statutory approval.

Page 73: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

18 | GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391

Similarly, major events at the Racing Circuit such as the V8 Supercars can also attract an

estimated 10,000 spectators. As such gateway C off Dukes Highway will be the primary

connection for return trips to Adelaide and the most significant queuing location. Callitris Road

access to Mallee Highway offers a secondary choice to egress the area in the post event phase.

“Post-event” temporary traffic management schemes for the Racing Circuit Program have been

discussed with SAPOL, Council and DPTI and will require further details for statutory approval.

6.3.6 Maintenance and Decommissioning

The proposed South Australian Motorsport Park is designed for stand-alone remote operation

the majority of the time. Generally it will operate unattended for most of its operational life, and

therefore the traffic associated with the long-term operation of the Raceway Circuits will be

nominal. There are two phases of operation post the construction phase. These include:

1. Commissioning and Testing;

2. Operations and Maintenance, and

3. Decommissioning and Rehabilitation.

It is expected that the routine maintenance activities will require the site to be accessed

approximately every 3 months by up to 2 to 3 staff for a period of a week. These people will be

in addition to the regular maintenance staff. Any unscheduled maintenance or repairs may

require attendance at site by additional specialist personnel and equipment.

Based on the above activities the operational traffic level will be low and primarily consist of light

commercial vehicles such as light vehicles and four wheel drives. Larger equipment may be

required for major unscheduled maintenance events such as the replacement of a raceway

circuit or drag strip pavements. These would likely be sourced from Adelaide.

At the end of the operations phase (usually 30 years) of the proposed Motor Sports Park

decisions will be made whether to refurbish the formal race circuit assets or buildings or to

formally decommission the property assets and remove the existing plant and equipment and

rehabilitate the site.

Whether new facilities are erected or the site decommissioned and rehabilitated both options

will likely require the removal of the proposed Raceway infrastructure. The traffic impacts would

likely be similar or slightly less to the construction phase, as the need to construct the

concrete/pavement foundations and access tracks will not be required. The traffic generation

and associated impacts will need to be assessed at the time of decommissioning, as the traffic

conditions on the surrounding road network would likely be altered over a 30 year period.

6.3.7 Highway Access & Egress

Access Road connections to Mallee Highway and Dukes Highway have been considered and

resolved ‘in principle’ with DPTI to those locations shown in Figure 9 with further details

provided in Appendix A.

Primary access points marked A & B, on Figure 10 service the primary development area of the

proposed “On the Run” site, Hotel and Caravan accommodation, drag strip and small scale

event areas. Whereas the points marked C & D provide access opportunities to the Business

and Industry area and the Motor Racing Circuit.

The access/egress points have been designed in accordance with relevant Austroads

Guidelines and Australian Standard requirements to accommodate the turning manoeuvres of A

Double and B Double Truck combinations.

Page 74: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391 | 19

As of the 17 December 2014, DPTI has approved ‘in principle’ changes to enable a new access

to Dukes Highway by means of a separate right turn lane of 3.5 m and one through lane in each

direction of 3.5 m and 3.6 m to be developed as part of the local widening for the Access Road

marked as C on Figure 10.

The planned new access to Mallee Highway also includes a separate right turn lane of 3.5 m

and one through lane in each direction of 3.5 m and 3.8 m, in accordance with DPTI’s approval

‘in principle’.

Figure 10 Highway Access Locations

6.3.8 Callitris Road

The implications for Callitris Road has two variations, namely that of the initial and then gradual

development of an industrial area commencing with 14 allotments, but with the potential of a

further 26 allotments. Secondly the implications of major event traffic seeking to access and

egress the Motor Racing Circuit and its proposed 2,000 space car park and 5,000 overflow

capacity area.

The southern end of Callitris Road (Dukes Hwy to just north of Lomandra Road) will require

development of a 10 metre wide kerbed roadway, with drainage and lighting consistent with

Council’s specifications for an Industrial subdivision with workshops / light industry factories

directly abutting this road.

The proposed extension of Caillitris Road will service stage 1 of the industrial sub-division and

function as the primary access to the Motor Racing Circuit via Dukes Highway carrying an

estimated 400 vehicles per day and 5800 vehicles per day during major events.

The northern section of Callitris Road (Lomandra Road to Mallee Highway) is to remain a rural

residential zoned area and as such it is recommended that in the long term this road should be

configured as an 8.0 metre wide sealed road with target lighting, sealed shoulders and swale

drainage. The timing of the development of this section of Callitris Road should be linked to the

second stage of the industrial subdivision and/or the Racing Circuit development as projected

Page 75: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

20 | GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391

traffic flows for the completion of the overall land division are expected to be 5300/day based on

the NSW Roads and Maritime Service (Updated 2013) “Guide to Traffic Generating

Developments” guidelines (the only guidelines available to assess these type of developments).

6.4 Proposed Road Network

Of particular note is that the development includes the proposed primary link (Road D as

identified in Figure 12) to the Motor Sports Park. It is intended to cater for direct access to

workshop / warehouse style properties with a requirement of B Double vehicle access/egress,

the roadway will be required to be constructed as a 10 metre wide kerbed roadway at the

Callitris Road end, with drainage and lighting consistent with Council’s Specifications as a

minimum. Initially, Road D is proposed to be a 10 metre width with sealed road shoulders,

which would be transitioned to a fully kerbed area upon development of the adjacent future

industrial estate.

This particular road may also be linked for event purposes with an extension to the Airfield

runway to enable other occasional major motoring events to be held across Road C1. Under

normal day to day operations the airport runway will terminate just north of Road C1.

Accordingly the road specification may be above Council’s predetermined standards and a

separate agreement on management and maintenance will be required between Peregrine

Corporation and Council for the option to cater for the occasional motoring event under a

“temporary road closure” approved in accordance with the Road Traffic Act 1961.

In a future stage of this Industrial Estate Road E (Refer Figure 12) is required to service the

southern allotments, which will also include an access to Callitris Road near Lomandra Road. At

that point in time, junction rearrangements are recommended to better define the priority of

Callitris Road. In the interim period this road is proposed to remain an unsealed private road of

8 metres in width, however ultimately would be configured as a 10 metre sealed pavement with

kerbing on the western side.

The final stage of subdivisional activity is proposed for the northern section of the site near the

Callitris Road and Mallee Highway junction. A future public road is also proposed to be a 10

metre sealed carriageway.

The road link between the Drift Circuit area and Callitris Road (labelled A1 in Figure 11) is

proposed to ensure access between the venues so that visitors are not forced to return to the

Dukes or Mallee Highways to access other motor sport areas. In view of the B double Truck

movements expected along this route it is proposed this road be constructed as an 8 metre wide

sealed road with sealed shoulders that transitions to a kerbed 10 metre wide roadway adjacent

the Expo building section.

Figure 11 and Figure 12 provide further detail on the planned road network.

Access by B Double vehicles is a significant parameter as there are a number of vehicle combinations and supporting equipment requiring access and egress

to particular event areas throughout the site. The private roads will also be designed to accommodate these vehicles in particular Roads B1 and B2 providing

access to the OTR and Drag areas.

Although the Racing Circuit will primarily be accessed via the first stage of the industrial subdivision, during major events it will require a secondary

egress/access point which is intended to be via a link to Callitris Road just north of the Industrial estate as shown on Figure 11.

Other unsealed access tracks are intended to have a quarry rubble base material of a nominal width of 6 metres.

A summary of the proposed characteristics of the private roads are as detailed in Table 6.

6.5 Traffic Assessment

The following process was undertaken for the traffic assessment of the SAMP:

Compute the traffic generated by each component of the site;

Establish trip distributions and assignment within the site for the various major event

modes;

Undertake SIDRA analysis of the proposed intersections with Access A and C as well as

the existing Dukes and Mallee Highways Intersection (Access B is left-in only during

major events and therefore was not assessed); and

Determine any capacity enhancements required to meet the event traffic demand.

6.5.1 Traffic Generation

Given the unique and integrated nature of this development, traffic generation rates were not

available in The Coorong District Council Development Plan. On this basis, traffic generation

rates were extracted from a number of sources as follows:

Rates for the OTR component were based on assessments of other OTR sites in South

Australia by GHD with particular focus on those in regional areas.

Rates for the industrial estate were extracted from the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating

Developments – Updated Traffic Surveys (2013) which indicated a peak and daily rates of

13.2 and 127.5 trips per hectare respectively for similar rural locations.

Rates for the major events were sourced through phone conversations with the Australian

National Drag Racing Association (as detailed in Section 7.3) and Sydney Motorsport

Park as previously detailed in Section 5).

6.5.2 Trip Distribution and Assignment

The vehicle trips associated with the site, via the key transport routes as discussed in Section

3.2.1 are projected to match the proportional distributions shown and highlighted in Figure 13.

Figure 13 Estimated Trip Distributions

Adelaide CBD

Location of Proposed Raceway

Tailem Bend Township Princes Highway 85%

Dukes Highway 10%

Mallee Highway 5%

Page 81: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

26 | GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391

These include:

Dukes Highway. It is currently assumed that 10% of trips would access the site from

areas in the south east via this route, such as Melbourne. A further 5% of trips are

expected to gain access via Mallee Highway and Sturt Highway to New South Wales.

South Eastern Freeway. It is considered that all remaining vehicles (85%) will utilise the

South Eastern Freeway route connecting to Adelaide. It is also assumed that 80% of

truck trips and 85% of employee trips will also utilise this route or gain access via Tailem

Bend and further to Adelaide.

A traffic analysis was undertaken to establish the distribution of traffic between access points

and traffic assignment across the internal road network within the site. The analysis adopts the

following assumptions:

Major Circuit Events generate the majority of traffic through Access C;

Major Drag and Drift Event generate the majority of traffic through Access A;

Trip distribution assumptions are assumed as per Figure 13;

Access Point D via Callitris Road is not operational until development of the racing circuit

and/or industrial estate

Pre and post major event traffic movements include the arrival and dispersal of the hotel,

camping and caravan park components;

Each staff/participant drives a vehicles to/from the site, i.e. no carpooling or ‘shuttle’

service from Adelaide, in order to adopt the worst-case-scenario

Assume SAPOL control of 4 intersections at Dukes/Mallee, Mallee/Access A,

Dukes/Access C and Road C1/D within the site;

Modelling scenarios were ran over a 90 minute period which is considered an appropriate

arrival/departure period to return to self-managing traffic conditions;

Existing traffic volumes were provided by DPTI for Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway;

Predicated traffic volumes for the Major Events and General Operational traffic are included in

Appendix B.

6.5.3 Traffic Analysis

Traffic analysis of the proposed development was undertaken using SIDRA computer software.

The following scenarios were assessed:

Mallee Highway and Access A – pre and post event periods for Major Drag and Circuit

Events (4 scenarios); and

Dukes Highway and Access C – pre and post event periods for Major Drag and Circuit

Events (4 scenarios);

Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway – existing operation and pre and post event periods

for Major Drag and Circuit Events (5 scenarios);

It should be noted that Access B is left in-left out only. During major events, Access B is open

during the pre-event period but closed during the post-event period. On this basis, the access

point does not warrant analysis.

Intersection of Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway

The intersection is a rural give-way controlled intersection presently configured with three

approaches and providing channelised right turn provision on Dukes Highway. Auxiliary Lanes

Page 82: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

GHD | Report for Peregrine Corporation - South Australian Motor Sports Park, 33/17391 | 27

are provided on Dukes Highway for turns to/from Mallee Highway with an acceleration lane also

provided on Mallee Highway. Dukes Highway is separated by a painted median with painted

median islands provided on the Mallee Highway approach.

The analysis indicates that temporary dual egress lanes on Dukes Highway and Mallee

Highway for Adelaide-bound traffic flows will be required.

Figure 14 below illustrates the current intersection configuration and the proposed event

management configuration.

Figure 14 Intersection of Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway (proposed

major event)

Intersection of Dukes Highway and Access C

The proposed intersection is designed to be much the same as the Dukes Highway and Mallee

Highway intersection. The intersection will provide a channelised right turn provision and

auxiliary lanes on Dukes Highway. In addition, the proposed intersection will extend the existing

northbound overtaking lane to the north to provide two northbound through lanes through the

intersection. A no right turn out ban is proposed for B-Double vehicles or greater.

The analysis indicates that temporary dual egress lanes on Access C approach for Adelaide-

bound traffic flows will be required.

Figure 15 illustrates the current intersection configuration and the proposed event management

configuration.

Based on the provision of the above event traffic management, the dispersion time for vehicles

to disperse from the site after a major event is estimated, as shown in Table 7. The dispersion

time is the ratio between the effective departure flow (which accounts for the green time

available to the intersection approach) and the difference post-major event flow and general

operational flow.

Event Road Dispersion Time

Major Drag Access A 67 minutes

Dukes Highway 16 minutes

Mallee Highway 66 minutes

Major Circuit Access C and Road C/D 69 minutes

Dukes Highway 56 minutes

Mallee Highway 85 minutes

The table indicates that up to 69 minutes of SAPOL control would be required at Access C and

Road C/D after a Major Circuit Event and up to 67 minutes at Access A after a Major Drag

Event.

It should be noted that the dispersion time equates to the time it takes major event traffic

demand egressing the site to subside and return to general operational levels.

6.6 Parking

Parking generation rate guidelines are available for some of the planned land uses however, a

comparative assessment was necessary to establish guidelines for the motor sport attributes of

the site.

A summary of the parking requirements is provided in Table 8.

6.6.1 Car Park Designs

Formal car parks will be designed to comply with the provisions of Australian Standards 1742,

2890, 1158 and 1428 specifically enabling B double or Heavy Rigid design and test vehicles

that require access to these areas. Supplementing these areas are strategically positioned

informal or overflow car parks all of which are detailed in the following Figure 17 and Figure 18.

The overflow areas located at the northern end of the site (B1 / B2 / D1) are positioned to

support events on either side of the Airstrip and are connected by a significant pedestrian

walkway on the northern side of the Karting Building.

Car park access has been selected to support safe turning profiles at junctions and entry

gateways, together with connection to the Mallee and Dukes Highways.

6.7 Summary

A number of the Major Motor Sporting activities require delivery of the entrant vehicles via

transport on semi-trailers and B Doubles. The requirement to cater for the efficient movement of

these vehicles dictates the road geometry, specification and traffic management.

Equally, the position and design of the Dukes and Mallee Highway access /egress points has

also impacted the internal road designs. Although wherever feasible the master plan has been

based upon the principle of sharing ‘informal’ parking resources and designing to suit the

nominal everyday use and local event modes as this will account for excess of 90% of the

activity at the site.

During the specific Major Event mode, temporary traffic management is to include turning bans,

community event speed zones and SAPOL support to supervise the post event dispersal. The

projected crowd numbers of 10,000 for the high profile events can be adequately catered for in

the pre-event mode and parking supply, however post event conditions on six occasions a year

will generate congestion within the site and at the Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway junction

that is projected to take approximately one hour to clear under Police Supervision.

7. Consultation with Key Stakeholders

7.1 Council

The proposed road alignments and characteristics have been discussed with the Director of

Infrastructure and Assets at the Coorong District Council. In-principle, the designation of public

and private roads as detailed in Table 5 and Table 6 are supported with the exception of Road

E which the Council administration believe should be a sealed road pavement. However, a

formal Council resolution will be required when further details are available.

7.2 V8 Supercars

Email contact has been sent the V8 Supercars Administration Centre however to date no

response has been received.

7.3 Australian National Drag Racing Association

A telephone discussion with Mr. Brett Stevens President, ANDRA on the 9 December 2014,

resulted in support for the new Venue and considerable insight to the various combinations of

vehicles used by participants during the major events including approximately 80 -100 or 33% of

the participants using Semi-trailers and B doubles.

Validation of the number of major events, origins of the participants, logistical information about

site access and use of the “pit space” areas was also obtained.

7.4 South Australia Police

Telephone and email contact has been made with SAPOL related to the management of traffic

especially in the post event timeframe. A formal traffic management plan will be required at a

later date which will include SAPOL resource commitment. However, at this stage there is a

willingness to collaborate to manager these events.

7.5 Country Fire Service

Email contact has been sent the CFS however to date no response has been received.

7.6 State Emergency Service

Email contact has been sent the State Emergency Services however to date no response has

been received.

7.7 DPTI

Telephone and email contact has been made with DPTI related to the management of traffic

especially in the post event timeframe. Support ‘in-principle’ to introduce post event traffic

management controls has been received, subject to receipt of a detailed plan inclusive of the

full signage and speed control measures planned for the area during these times.

8. Conclusions and Recommendations

Based upon the analysis and discussions presented in this report, the following conclusions and

recommendations are provided:

General operational traffic flows for the vast majority of time can be sustained and do not

compromise the operation or safety of the road network and users.

The development of a detailed Event Traffic Management Plan (ETMP) inclusive of

temporary traffic controls, speed zoning, signage and lane configuration is required when

anticipated crowd numbers of 3000 or greater are expected.

Major events for Drift, Drag or Motor Racing Circuit anticipate spectators and participants

in excess of 10,000 people and as such, the post event traffic management will require

dual egress lanes at Access A and C and support by SAPOL to manage to the dispersal.

A road network has been established which is capable of providing access for B-Doubles

to various components of the site. It includes sealed and kerbed section of public roads

together with sealed and unkerbed sections of roads as detailed in Table 5 and Table 6.

The road network can be progressively developed to coincide the development of the

various motor sporting areas and other land uses.

Formal and informal car parks are included within the master plan and have been located

to optimise the potential shared use opportunities by different land uses. This includes an

appropriate level of overflow parking provision to cater for major events. The planned

parking demand was determined through consultation with other motor sporting venues

and authorities and is comparative to other venues.

The projected major event crowds can be adequately catered for in the pre-event mode

and parking supply. However post event conditions will generate congestion within the

site and at the junction of Dukes Highway and Mallee Highway is projected to take

approximately one hour to clear under Police Supervision.

8.1 Next Steps

Subject to development approval, it is recommended that the following steps be considered:

Finalise DPTI approval for connections to Dukes and Mallee Highways;

1. Finalise the cadastral boundaries within the site of the public road corridors;

2. Prepare concept road design plans indicative budget estimates;

3. Development of detailed Traffic Management Plans in conjunction with Council, SAPOL

and DPTI after final road design details are approved; and

4. Obtain any statutory approvals in accordance with the Road Traffic Act.

SUPPLEMENT TO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MOTOR SPORT PARK TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DATED DECEMBER 2014)

3317731 /201503027 Page 1

BACKGROUND

The following information is supplied as a supplement to previous GHD findings detailed in the South

Australia Motor Sports Park Traffic Impact Assessment (dated 23 December 2014) (hence forth

referred to as SAMP TIA).

The information in this supplement provides an additional assessment based on revised plans and

feedback from key stakeholders for the proposed industrial subdivision.

This information is based upon instructions received from Peregrine Corporation regarding the

proposed plans in accordance with 64611_304 SK18 A0 Concept (dated 24/3/2015) attached to this

report. This report discusses the proposed changes to the Industrial and Business Park subdivision

and the changes proposed resulting from feedback from key stakeholders and the associated impact

on the revised industrial subdivision layout.

INDUSTRIAL & BUSINESS PARK SUBDIVISION

The proposed Industrial and Business Park subdivision will be progressively developed on

approximately 42 ha of land (occupied in 3 stages) in the southern area of the site and will consist of

approximately 11 allotments in the first stage. A location plan of the revised development is shown in

Figure 1 and a more detailed plan is provided in Appendix A.

Figure 1 – Location plan showing revised industrial development layout

Page 97: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

SUPPLEMENT TO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MOTOR SPORT PARK TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DATED DECEMBER 2014)

3317731 /201503027 Page 2

The previous proposal had a target market for these allotments as motor vehicle repair, tyre repair,

minor machining for motor vehicles, mechanical repairs, storage facilities, support services for motor

sport etc. Some light manufacturing and fabrication activities – e.g. associated with rural and

agricultural equipment and warehousing. No heavy manufacturing is anticipated. Some buildings could

be as small as 2,500m2 in area with others up to 4,000 to 5,000m

2 within the larger hectare sites.

As a result of recent considerations, the Peregrine Corporation has resolved to amend its previous

proposal for a portion of Stage 2 (north-east of Road D) and Stage 3 of the Industrial and Business

Park subdivision. It is now proposed to configure 106 smaller allotments of between 500m2– 1000m

2

that will be used for car storage, workshops, service centres and service hubs, research development

centres, facility centres for car enthusiasts, base facilities for car clubs and non-permanent

accommodation for car enthusiasts. This revised proposal was based on research undertaken by the

proponent about the type of development that would be most appealing for the proposed adjacent land

use of the development and access to the proposed circuit located immediately east of the proposed

industrial development.

Construction Phase

As mentioned in the previous report, the transport requirements of the construction phase of this

amended sector of the planned Industrial and Business Subdivision will generate a proportion of

heavy vehicles. In order to deliver the additional road infrastructure and building equipment and

materials associated with the proposed Industrial and Business Park development, the vehicle

movements will be slightly higher for the revised development layout due to the number of allotments

increasing and additional services required.

Semi-trailer vehicles and heavy rigid trucks would be able to transport the construction materials and

equipment to the site. It is understood that some local construction capability is available for the supply

of equipment, materials and any shortfalls in earthworks plant and crane capabilities are also available

in Adelaide.

During construction of the internal access roads, arrangements are proposed to enable access and

egress to this proposed land division via existing crossover points to 603 Dukes Highway and Mallee

Highway (located approx. 400m east of Dukes Highway) thereby avoiding transportation of plant,

labour and materials on the unsealed Council Roads and damage to the proposed access points.

However, appropriate temporary traffic management plans would need to be in place during the

construction period (AS 1742 compliant) to ensure safe and effective travel along those affected

roads.

General Operational

The general operational phase will primarily consist of movements associated with the day-to-day use

of the site including:

Employee and associated traffic generated by Stage 1 and Stage 2 of industrial estate;

Owner and visitor traffic associated with the workshops/allotments in Stage 2;

Customers and employee traffic associated with the daily activities offered on-site.

It is envisaged that the 106 allotments in Stage 2 would primarily be used after-hours including at night

and on weekends whereas Stage 1 and the other part of Stage 2 of the industrial estate would

primarily be used during business hours. On this basis, it is considered the traffic generation of these

Page 98: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

SUPPLEMENT TO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MOTOR SPORT PARK TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DATED DECEMBER 2014)

3317731 /201503027 Page 3

two components of the industrial estate will be complimentary to each other and would likely not

coincide.

Event Traffic Management

It is envisaged that the proposed allotments detailed as the second stage of the Industrial and

Business Park will become premium workshop and storage sites.

Major Event (Circuit) Congestion

Major events at the Racing Circuit such as the V8 Supercars could attract an estimated 10,000

spectators (5000 vehicles). As such, Access C off Dukes Highway is anticipated to be the primary

connection for return trips to Adelaide and the most significant queuing location. The variation in the

form of the land division offers the potential for respite (ablutions, storage collection, secured parking)

in the post event period to avoid the short term exodus.

The Callitris Road access to Mallee Highway offers a secondary choice to egress the area in the post

event phase. This could offer access to destinations east and north east of the site. However, in order

to manage the impacts upon the local rural residential properties on Callitris Road and minimise the

infrastructure implications, it is proposed by Peregrine Corporation that this connection be suspended

to occur prior to Stage 3 of the proposed industrial development.

As flagged in the SAMP TIA “Post-event” temporary traffic management schemes for the Racing

Circuit Program have been discussed with SAPOL, Council and DPTI and will require further details

for statutory approval.

Callitris Road

Callittris Road is a public road managed and maintained by the Coorong District Council.

As detailed in the SAMP TIA, the implications for Callitris Road has two variations, namely that of the

initial and then gradual development of an industrial area and secondly the implications of major event

traffic seeking to access and egress the Motor Racing Circuit.

The northern section of Callitris Road (Lomandra Road to Mallee Highway) is to remain a rural

residential zoned area and as such it has been recommended that in the long term, this road should

be configured as an 8.0 metre wide sealed road with target lighting, sealed shoulders and swale

drainage.

The staging of the planned work for the northern segment of Callitris Road has previously been linked

to the “second stage of the industrial subdivision and/or the Racing Circuit development”. This has

been based upon projected traffic flows for the completion of the overall land division and source

reference guidelines from the NSW Roads and Maritime Service (Updated 2013) “Guide to Traffic

Generating Developments” (the only guidelines available to assess these type of developments).

Peregrine Corporation has now advised it plans this redevelopment to occur as part of initial Stage 3

Industrial and Business Park works and until this time, it is proposed that this road continue to operate

as it presently does an unsealed road.

The southern section of Callitris Road (labelled E) has a primary function of enabling access to the

individual allotments and minor streets along its southern boundary. Its supplementary function will be

Page 99: PLANNING STATEMENT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT … · PREPARED FOR PEREGRINE CORPORATION FINAL REPORT PROPOSED MOTOR SPORT PARK AT TAILEM BEND PLANNING STATEMENT 64611‐10‐1 REV

SUPPLEMENT TO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MOTOR SPORT PARK TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DATED DECEMBER 2014)

3317731 /201503027 Page 4

for traffic circulation from both the Industrial and Business Park subdivision and for the Motor Racing

Circuit Area.

A key objective of the amended Stage 2 of the Industrial and Business Park is the provision of

development lots for Motor Sport enthusiasts to maintain, modify and trial technical variations within

the Motor Sport Circuit environs. Peregrine Corporation considers it would be desirable to potentially

enable these enthusiasts to transfer their vehicles directly to the track under managed terms and

conditions.

In order to achieve this outcome, the amended schedule of Roads retains the new minor roads in

private ownership to enable their connection to Road D and then the Motor Racing Circuit, without

using public roads. However, a portion of Road E (Callitris Road Southern end) will remain public

roads thereby new property owners requiring vehicles to be registered to enter this Road.

Road C1 /C3

Road C1 (Dukes Hwy to Lomandra Road) will eventually form part of a continuing road when it is

integrated with the northern segment of Callitris Road. It is proposed to be ultimately developed with a

10 metre wide kerbed roadway, with drainage and lighting consistent with Council’s specifications for

an Industrial subdivision as part of Stage 1 development works. This road segment is the first priority

in order to access the proposed first stage of the Industrial and Business Park.

In order to achieve a similar opportunity to enable Motor Sport enthusiasts to transfer their vehicles

directly from the newly created “workshop” areas within the Industry and Business Park to the Drag

Strip or Drift Areas, Peregrine Corporation wishes to provide a “Private Road link” across Road C3.

As such the current proposal is to retain a portion defined as the Road junctions A1/ C3; D/C3 and

road segment between these locations as shown on Appendix B

Amendments to the Proposed Road Network

Of particular note is that the amended Industrial and Business Park development includes a new Road

X connection being the proposed primary link (identified in Appendix A) to the new Allotments. It is

intended to control direct access to these workshops / warehouse style properties to Road Y due to

the future potential use of Road D as an event area as described in the SAMP TIA.

The function of the amended sector of the Industrial and Business Park means a change to the design

vehicle accessibility from the previous B- Double to Heavy Rigid Trucks (with occasional semi-truck

movements). The new local roads are recommended to be 8 metre wide kerbed roadways with

drainage and street lighting consistent with Council’s Specifications.

The southern segment of Callitris Road (Public Road E - refer Appendix B) is required to service the

allotments adjacent to the Motor Racing Circuit, which will also include an access to Road C1. It is

proposed by Peregrine Corporation that this road be developed as a 10 metre road pavement with

lighting and kerbing on the western side of the proposed circuit as part of Stage 2 of the industrial

development.

Appendix B provides further detail on the proposed amended road network.

In summary the proposed characteristics of the amended public roads are as detailed in Table 1.

Table 1 Addendum to Private Roads Schedule

Traffic Assessment Overview

The SAMP TIA Traffic Assessment was based on the assumption that only Stage 1 of the industrial

estate was occupied and Access D was not accessible to event traffic and by extension, the northern

section of Callitris (Road C2) was closed (local resident traffic only) and remained unsealed. It was

recommended that upgrade (including sealing) and opening of Road C2 to development traffic be

undertaken in line with the development and occupation of up to Stage 2 of the industrial estate.

This assessment now assumes full development and occupation of the industrial estate in addition to

the circuit. It also assumes Road E is upgraded and operational as part of the Stage 2 Industrial and

Business Park development.

Revised Modelling of Traffic Generation

Given the unique and integrated nature of this development, traffic generation rates were not available

in The Coorong District Council Development Plan. On this basis, traffic generation rates were

extracted from the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments – Updated Traffic Surveys (2013)

which indicated a peak and daily rates of 13.2 and 127.5 trips per hectare respectively for industrial

estates in similar rural locations.

The industrial estate of 42 hectares is broken down as follows:

Stage 1 – 14 Hectares with 11 allotments;

Stage 2 – 10 Hectares with 106 allotments;

Stage 3 – 18 Hectares with 18 allotments;

Application of these rates indicates the overall industrial estate could generate up to 555 and 5,355

vehicles during the peak hour and daily periods respectively. This includes the breakdown of volumes

as identified in Table 2

SUPPLEMENT TO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MOTOR SPORT PARK TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DATED DECEMBER 2014)

3317731 /201503027 Page 6

General Operational Period

As indicated previously for the general operational period, it is envisaged that the 106 new allotments

in Stage 2 would primarily be used after-hours including at night and on weekends whereas, Stage 1

and Stage 3 of the industrial estate would primarily be used during business hours. On this basis, it is

considered the traffic generation of these two components of the industrial estate to be complimentary

to each other and would likely not coincide. Thus, the net impact on peak hour volumes is reduced.

Major Circuit Event Period

For the major circuit event, the previous SAMP TIA assumed that Access D and Road C2 were not

accessible to development traffic in order to adopt the worst case scenario. It has been assumed that

Access D would be used by egressing traffic after major circuit events periods. The traffic distribution

for egressing traffic during major circuit events has been assumed as 70% using Access C, 20% using

Access D and 10% using Access A, associated with the OTR development (Refer Figure 1 for locality

details). No changes to that advised in the previous report are envisaged for drag and drift events.

Given the previous assessment did not consider Access D, Access C was the primary access and

egress point during major circuit events. The SIDRA assessment indicated that with dual egress lanes,

the intersection of Access C and Dukes Highway could accommodate the egressing traffic post-event.

With the assumption that Access D is now accessible to traffic, the impact on Access C and Dukes

Highway is offset by traffic using Access D and Mallee Highway. It is not considered that the additional

traffic generated by the industrial estate Stage 2 and 3 will compromise the safety or operation of

development site road network or external road network.

Appendix B provides the revised daily traffic volume diagrams and turning movement diagrams.

Conclusion

A supplementary traffic report has been prepared as a result of changes to the proposed industrial and

business park development and feedback from the DAC process associated with the Tailem Bend

Motorsport Park. As a result the following amendments are suggested to the previous report:

1. Public roads and private roads schedules be amended as shown in Appendix B of this report.

2. Callitris Road (Southern End) labelled as Road E be constructed as part of Stage 2 of the

Industrial and Business Park.

3. Callitris Road (Northern End) labelled as Road C2 be constructed as part of Stage 3 of the

Industrial and Business Park.
