Title Yoogali intersection upgrade submissions report
Accepted on behalf of NSW Roads and Maritime Services by:
Tim Keyes, Project Manager

Dated: 28 November 2018
Executive summary
Roads and Maritime Services is proposing to upgrade the intersection of Burley Griffin Way, Mackay Avenue, Kurrajong Avenue and Irrigation Way at Yoogali. The proposal involves widening and upgrading all intersection legs, installing new traffic lights and upgrading the existing Irrigation Way bridge with a new culvert structure. The work will improve safety and productivity for road users by boosting the capacity of existing roads, particularly for heavy vehicle drivers.
The existing intersection is a priority intersection with a “Give Way” control for the side roads - Burley Griffin Way and Kurrajong Avenue. The Narrandera to Griffith rail line is immediately north of the intersection and runs alongside Irrigation Way and Mackay Avenue.
As part of the proposal, a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) was prepared to assess the likely impact of the proposal on the environment and to detail the protective measures to be implemented. In order to seek community feedback on the REF, the REF was publicly displayed from Monday 25 June 2018 to Friday 20 July 2018 in Griffith. The REF was also available for download on the Roads and Maritime website. Community feedback was encouraged in the form of formal submissions, submitted by phone, email and mail. This report summarises the issues raised and provides Roads and Maritime’s response to each issue.
A total of 22 submissions were received, the majority of which were individual submissions, with a small number of submissions from organisations and government agencies. The main issues included the introduction of traffic lights (support for, as well as opposition to), consultation, safety, construction traffic management and diversions, and alternative design options. Design changes adopted after the submissions process include adjustments to stormwater drainage to minimise impacts to businesses and assessment of utilities adjustments to aid future upgrades to intersection capacity.
This report also assesses the impact of closing Irrigation Way while the new bridge over Main Drain J is built. Road closures had not been assessed in the REF, however, safety and constructability reviews completed since the REF display identified a need to assess the impact of a three-month closure to address risks to workers and the public. The assessment includes an evaluation of noise impact on residents along the proposed detour route, detailed in Appendix B of this report.
Roads and Maritime has considered the submissions and provided responses to each aspect, given the project’s objectives and environmental assessment as detailed in the REF. Where required, additional environmental management measures have been detailed to provide further safeguards. For further detail, refer to the responses in this report.

5 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
2.1 Overview of issues raised Of the total 22 submissions made, one was received from Griffith City Council, three from businesses and 18 from individual community members. This included:
Four letters
16 emails
Two phone calls.
A total of 32 issues were raised in the submissions. Some submissions contained multiple issues. Each submission has been examined individually to understand the issues being raised. The issues raised in each submission have been collated and corresponding responses to the issues have been provided. Where similar issues have been raised in different submissions, only one response has been provided. The issues raised and Roads and Maritime’s responses to these issues forms the basis of this chapter.
Of the 22 submissions received, 64 per cent supported the proposal. A number of submissions noted the positive impact traffic lights would have on safety around the intersection, with a number of previous accidents and near-misses highlighted.
Three submissions objected to the proposal. Reasons provided included concern that the proposal would cause confusion and disruption, that the current traffic volume and incident numbers do not warrant traffic lights, and a preference for a roundabout. The remaining submissions were neutral and suggested changes or queried one or more elements of the proposal.
The most commonly raised issues included:
Property impacts during construction
Driveway access
Construction timing and staging
Alternative design options
Traffic diversions during construction
Drainage.
The majority of the comments received were related to property impacts during construction and driveway access.
The submission from Griffith City Council supported the proposal and recognised the need to upgrade the intersection to ensure safe and efficient access. However, council also raised a number of concerns, including intersection capacity, design and road safety.
The following sections of this report will discuss the issues raised in the submissions in more detail.
2.2 Traffic Traffic was raised in 32 per cent of the submissions and was the category with the most responses. Within this category, respondents raised matters relating to:
Traffic signals
Method of calculating traffic
6 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
Queuing
Future traffic needs
Railway crossing safety
Local road network impact.
2.2.1 Traffic signals
Submission number(s)
3
Issue description
Include a slip-lane or “left turn on red light when safe” on the Irrigation Way approach to reduce build-up of queued traffic
Would traffic lights have a green arrow for turning, in addition to the “turn left on red” signage?
Response
Yes, some traffic lights would have dedicated green arrows. The suitability of “turn left on red signage” would be considered in the detailed design.
2.2.2 Traffic assessment methodology
Submission number(s)
18, 20
Issue description
Concerned the traffic assessment underestimates peak traffic as the traffic survey was not conducted during peak agricultural and industry operations
Concerned the traffic assessment underestimates queue lengths during rail level crossing closures along Mackay Avenue approaching the intersection.
Response
As part of the REF, Roads and Maritime carried out a detailed traffic assessment which considers long- term growth to ensure the proposal can cater for predicted traffic volumes.
To account for seasonal variation, the initial traffic forecasts adopted in the traffic assessment were much higher than population growth. Sensitivity testing indicated a further 45 per cent increase of predicted traffic volumes in 2037 would still result in acceptable performance.
The traffic assessment considered a high level, worst-case scenario of a train arriving in the peak traffic period. Data used in the traffic model indicated train crossings currently occur on average three times per day. This may reduce to one per day as a result of the Wumbulgal intermodal terminal. The instance of a train arriving during peak traffic period is expected to be relatively rare.
7 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
2.2.3 Queuing
Submission number(s)
2, 3, 18
Issue description
Concerned proposed traffic lights would cause queuing during peak periods and restrict driveway access along Mackay and Kurrajong avenues
Concerned about stacking distance along Burley Griffin Way, particularly during peak hour periods. Suggested left and right turning lanes should be considered for southbound traffic at the Burley Griffin Way approach.
Response
The traffic assessment shows that while traffic queues would be created at peak times, queue lengths would not typically extend past the driveway access on Irrigation Way. Similarly, traffic lights would introduce queues along Mackay Avenue at peak times, however the delay to residents accessing properties on Mackay Avenue is expected to be minor. All traffic lights in NSW are triggered by actual vehicle movements and volumes to cater for peak flows.
Safety for residents should improve as traffic movements would be more predictable than the current intersection arrangement. Traffic modelling also revealed the proposed lane configuration is acceptable, with the addition of conservative future traffic volume projections.
A dedicated right-turn traffic light phase for southbound Burley Griffin Way traffic is proposed in the traffic light design to give priority to traffic on this approach and manage queue lengths. Traffic modelling showed queue lengths along Burley Griffin Way during peak periods would not typically extend past Edon Street, except in the instance of a train crossing. Rail-induced delays are an existing traffic condition and not a result of this proposal.
2.2.4 Traffic flow impact
Submission number(s)
8, 12, 19
Issue description
Concerned about disruption and confusion for road users both during and after construction
Concerned proposed traffic lights would cause traffic delays unless traffic-generated
Concerned about the impact traffic lights would have on traffic flow.
Response
The intersection with traffic lights was evaluated as the best performing option, meeting all of the project objectives, including increasing the intersection’s capacity. It is expected installing traffic lights and widening the intersection would improve road user safety, traffic performance and higher productivity vehicle accessibility in the future.
All traffic lights in NSW are triggered by actual vehicle movements.
8 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
Traffic flow during construction will be managed through a Traffic Management Plan and the use of on-site traffic controllers.
2.2.5 Future traffic needs
Submission number(s)
18
Issue description
Concerned increased traffic as a result of the upgrade would be greater than that projected in the REF and catered for in the current proposal
Concern the proposed intersection would not be able to cater for current or future traffic needs and would result in delays. Suggested more turning lanes are needed.
Response
Traffic modelling of the proposal adopted an initial increase of 30 per cent in traffic volumes by 2037. This was based on the annual employment growth rates in Griffith between 2001 and 2011. Traffic volumes assumed a further 100 per cent increase in heavy vehicle movements along Burley Griffin Way and Kurrajong Avenue.
This forecast is considered conservative given that it is substantially higher than the NSW Department of Planning and Environment population growth forecasts and Griffith City Council forecast of 14 per cent population growth over 20 years.
Further assessment of the proposed intersection showed that an additional 45 per cent increase in forecasted 2037 traffic volumes would still result in the proposed intersection performing at an acceptable level.
2.2.6 Railway crossing safety
Submission number(s)
20
Issue description
Traffic lights would not resolve the issue of drivers queuing across the rail crossing.
Response
The proposed intersection includes a stop line immediately north of the railway level crossing and a dedicated traffic light phase for Burley Griffin Way right turn and through movements without delay from oncoming traffic. The phasing gives priority to traffic turning right from Burley Griffin Way combined with the stop line north of the rail crossing, prevents queuing across the railway line.
Signposting and road markings at the level crossing would be installed as part of the upgrade.
9 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
2.2.7 Impact on local road network
Submission number(s)
20
Issue description
Traffic lights would result in increased traffic on alternative routes as a result of drivers avoiding the intersection.
Response
Delays associated with the proposed upgrade are forecasted to be low, reducing the desire for drivers to use alternative routes. In addition, traffic lights would provide safe right turns, which may increase the number of road users wanting to use the proposed intersection.
2.3 Property impact Property impacts were raised in 14 per cent of the submissions, mainly relating to driveway access along Mackay and Kurrajong avenues during construction and operation, drainage and concern about drainage and flooding impacts on nearby properties.
2.3.1 Drainage and flooding
Submission number(s)
2, 21
Issue description
Existing drains on Mackay Avenue cause flooding on nearby properties due to blockages. Will this be addressed as part of the drainage for the project?
Concerned about inadequate drainage along the Mackay Avenue frontage.
Response
Areas in the proposal’s vicinity are prone to drainage issues due to the existing intersection layout, approach roads and nearby land. The existing drainage issues along the southern side of Mackay Avenue are likely to be caused by silt or rubbish build-up along existing culverts and flat grades along the drainage path. Roads and Maritime would inspect the pipes and drains along Mackay Avenue and would clean and remove blockages where required.
The installation of kerb and guttering will also improve drainage.
2.3.2 Construction impact
Submission number(s)
2, 21, 22
10 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
Issue description
Concerned about the impact to the Griffith City Volkswagen car dealership display area during the stormwater drain’s construction. Suggested the use of trenchless construction methods or the relocation of the stormwater drain
Concerned about the impact of proposed kerbing on the Griffith City Volkswagen car dealership display area
Safety bollards around the Griffith City Volkswagen car dealership display area should be reinstated to their current condition after construction
Concerned about impacts to property and the Griffith City Volkswagen car dealership during construction. Ensure driveways are reinstated to their original condition once work is complete.
Concerned about impact of construction work on property.
Response
There may be some short-term property access disruptions during construction which would be managed as part of the Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP).
The existing drainage line within the road reserve across the car dealership display area was nominated for replacement as part of the concept design. Roads and Maritime is currently reviewing the extent of the drainage design to minimise or eliminate work within this area.
The south-west corner of the intersection upgrade between Mackay and Kurrajong avenues would be designed to combine with the existing car dealership property and display area.
The final design of garden beds, bollards, shared paths, level differences and other finer details would be confirmed during the detailed design phase, with consideration to the above issues raised. Roads and Maritime would continue to consult directly with individual landowners during detailed design and construction about private property impacts and restoration work.
2.4 Design Of the 22 submissions, 81 per cent raised issues relating to the design. This included submissions proposing changes to design elements or expressing a preference for an alternative traffic lights option.
2.4.1 Alternatives options
Submission number(s)
13, 19, 20
Issue description
Would like to see the staggered intersection option (Option C) selected to minimise traffic past homes in Yoogali and deter speeding
A roundabout (Option B) is preferable to the intersection with traffic lights (Option D)
Preference for a long-term plan to divert heavy vehicles away from the town centre.
Response
Four options were compared as part of the options assessment:
11 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
Option A – Do nothing (maintain the existing intersection)
Option B – Roundabout
Option C – Staggered T intersection
Option D – Traffic lights at the intersection, integrated with railway level crossing.
The reasons for the preferred intersection option have been set out in Section 2 of the REF. The preferred option was judged as the best performing option, meeting project objectives.
Key project objectives include heavy vehicle accessibility and eliminating short stacking, where long vehicles are prone to queueing across the railway level crossing. Option B (the roundabout) did not meet the project objectives, as heavy vehicle accessibility would be restricted and short stacking would remain.
Option C (the staggered intersection) was not considered feasible due to the significant cost of additional bridges, property impacts and measures to relieve drainage issues and flooding impacts. Option C was judged as the worst for traffic performance; the issue of short stacking remained and it did not meet all of the project objectives.
Option D (traffic lights) was identified as the best option as it improves road user safety by minimising short stacking as well as catering for all long vehicle movements. Option D would also likely improve the amenity of the town centre with reductions in noise and pollution, due to the higher intersection capacity.
The project enables heavy vehicles to be diverted around the town centre by improving heavy vehicle accessibility through the intersection. Consideration has also been given to future heavy vehicle corridors along Kurrajong Avenue. Heavy vehicle movements on local roads are managed under Griffith City Council’s Heavy Vehicle Strategy.
Roads and Maritime would liaise with Griffith City Volkswagen directly on entry and exit layouts during detailed design to achieve a safe outcome.
2.4.2 Access
Submission number(s)
17
Issue description
Consider realigning the northbound and southbound approaches so they are 90 degrees to Mackay Avenue and Irrigation Way.
Response
The study area is restricted by existing infrastructure including the Main Drain J drainage channel, significant utilities and a railway line. Road alignment adjustments would not be feasible given these restrictions, and is not required with traffic lights at the intersection. “Squaring” of the Burley Griffin Way and Kurrajong Avenue approach roads would also introduce bends in the road further away from the intersection and may impact nearby properties.
12 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
18
2.4.3 Turning lanes
Submission number(s)
Issue description
The intersection should include dedicated right and left turning lanes for Mackay Avenue, Burley Griffin Way and Irrigation Way to reduce traffic delays.
Response
Traffic modelling indicates that without the turn lanes the intersection would operate at good levels of service, both with existing traffic volumes and forecasted traffic volumes for 20 years in the future. This includes further testing of a 45 per cent increase in traffic and doubling of heavy vehicle numbers.
It should be noted the traffic light design would introduce dedicated traffic light phases for both Kurrajong Avenue and Burley Griffin Way to give priority to turning traffic on these approaches without delay from opposing traffic movements. The Mackay Avenue left turn lane would be maintained.
Roads and Maritime has modelled a number of intersection layouts during development and determined the modest improvement in capacity as a result of additional right-turn lanes does not warrant the extra investment.
2.4.4 Drainage and flooding
Submission number(s)
18, 21, 22
Issue description
Concerned about the proposed twin box culverts on Irrigation Way and the potential for flooding issues resulting from a build-up of debris. Stated a preference for a clear span bridge to avoid build-up of debris
Would the kerb on Kurrajong Avenue be increased when the road is redesigned?
Response
The existing twin cell box culverts are 3.66 metres wide by 1.98 metres high. These are proposed to be replaced with a larger structure. The increased waterway area of the new structure would modestly improve drainage capacity and reduce the risk of blockage from debris. Further increases in the waterway area, whether through increased culvert sizes or a single span bridge, would provide negligible flood mitigation due to limits in the Main Drain J drainage channel capacity, as identified in the Griffith Main Drain J and Mirrool Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (2015) by Griffith City Council.
Extension to existing kerbs along Kurrajong Avenue is not proposed. Only reconstruction of existing kerbs is planned to provide a link between existing and proposed infrastructure.
13 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
2.4.5 Impact to utilities
Submission number(s)
18
Issue description
What is proposed for the water main relocation along the bridge structure?
Response
The utility relocation plans propose to replace the existing water main attached to the southern side of the existing bridge, with a new water main along the southern side of the proposed bridge. Roads and Maritime would consult further with council directly on water main adjustments.
2.4.6 Need for proposal
Submission number(s)
8, 19
Issue description
The current traffic volume and incident numbers do not warrant traffic lights.
Response
Heavy vehicles queuing across the railway level crossing along Burley Griffin Way is a safety risk. This issue is known as short stacking and would be eliminated through traffic lights at the intersection. In addition to this, improvements in road user safety, heavy vehicle accessibility and traffic performance are anticipated as a result of the traffic lights solution.
2.4.7 Visual and landscape
Submission number(s)
20
Issue description
Felt the roundabout option would provide better landscape and urban design opportunities.
Response
The reasons for the preferred intersection option have been set out in Section 2 of the REF. The preferred option was evaluated as the best performing choice, meeting project objectives.
The traffic lights option has a significantly smaller construction footprint than the roundabout option. As a result, it would have less impact on the existing landscape, particularly over Irrigation Way. The traffic lights option also has less impact on trees compared to the roundabout option, particularly along Mackay Avenue.
14 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
2.4.8 Parking
Submission number(s)
21, 22
Issue description
Would parking along Kurrajong Avenue be impacted? Preference for road markings to stop people parking rather than a “no parking” sign.
Response
The proposed design introduces an edge line which delineates the proposed northbound travel lane along Kurrajong Avenue and the nearside shoulder. Existing layout changes would be minimal and no parking along Kurrajong Avenue is proposed. No-parking areas would be finalised in the detailed design in consultation with Griffith City Council and Griffith City Volkswagen.
2.5 Environmental
2.5.1 Noise impact
Submission number(s)
2, 19
Issue description
Concerned about noise impacts as a result of more trucks braking at proposed traffic lights
Concerned about noise impacts for nearby residents.
Response
As part of the REF, Roads and Maritime carried out a noise assessment to investigate and assess potential noise impacts during construction and operation of the proposed upgrade.
For operational noise levels, noise modelling of the proposed design estimates the proposal is unlikely to increase traffic noise levels by more than 2 dB(A) for surrounding receivers. This is not considered to be a noticeable increase in noise levels.
During construction, all activities would be carried out in line with Roads and Maritime’s Construction Noise and Vibration Guidelines (Roads and Maritime, 2016), and reduction measures would be carried out to minimise any activities having noise impacts. Vibration impacts during construction would be reduced by safe work distances.
For further information on the construction and operational noise impacts and proposed mitigations, refer to Section 6.5 of the REF. For further information on the management of noise and vibration impacts, please refer to Section 5 of this report.
2.5.2 Impact to trees
15 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
Submission number(s)
2, 20
Issue description
Concerned about impact to trees on Mackay Avenue
Preserve as many of the existing trees as possible, particularly the mature trees. The Greybox, Poplar Box and White Cypress should be preserved as they are important in maintaining local seed banks and providing wildlife habitat.
Response
Roads and Maritime would aim to minimise impacts to trees as far as reasonably practicable. However, the proposal would require removing some native trees and shrubs along the northern side of Mackay Avenue. Removing trees along the southern side of Mackay Avenue is not anticipated.
Areas of exotic grassland and native chenopod understory is also likely to be removed during construction. The proposal is unlikely to impact vegetation next to the proposal area south of Kurrajong Avenue.
As fauna habitat is limited in the study area, there would be no impact or disturbance to important habitat, including threatened species habitat.
The proposal is not likely to significantly impact threatened species or ecological communities or their habitats, within the meaning of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 or Fisheries Management Act 1994.
2.6 Construction
2.6.1 Timing and staging
Submission number(s)
3, 22
Issue description
The project should consider working with Murrumbidgee Irrigation to coordinate timing so the piping of the existing open drain on the southern side of Irrigation Way can be completed at the same time
Work on the Griffith City Volkswagen car dealership access and parking should be staged early in construction so the current entry to the property off Kurrajong Avenue could be blocked off during construction and one entry/exit point is still available
Some types of work during construction would have a major impact on the car dealership operations. Construction should be staged and coordinated with the car dealership to minimise impact.
Response
Murrumbidgee Irrigation has been consulted during project development. Piping of the existing drainage channel between Bartholomew Road and the Main Drain J is outside the scope of the proposal.
16 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
Current traffic movements and property access would be maintained throughout the construction work. There may be some short-term disruptions to property access during construction. Affected properties would be consulted before work starts and impacts managed through the construction traffic management plan.
Roads and Maritime would consult with Griffith City Volkswagen on works programming and access matters.
2.6.2 Diversions
Submission number(s)
5, 15
Issue description
What are the planned traffic diversions for light and heavy vehicles during the intersection’s construction?
Would Gardiner Road be used for diverted traffic during construction? If so, would there be traffic management and/or would Gardiner Road be upgraded to accommodate the traffic volume?
Would McCormack Road be used for diverted traffic during construction? If so, consider including speed humps to deter speeding along McCormack Road for safety.
Response
Temporary diversions would be implemented for the bridge and rail level crossing reconstruction to manage safety risks and minimise construction time. Roads and Maritime would complete the bridge works by closing the western end of Irrigation Way, with the remainder of the works completed under traffic. The details of the proposed diversion are set out in section 3.1 of this report.
A construction traffic management plan would be prepared to minimise potential traffic flow impacts during construction. Any safety reduction measures such as reduced speed limits, traffic control, signage and other measures would be included as part of the construction traffic management plan, developed in consultation with Griffith City Council and local residents.
2.6.3 Dust
Submission number(s)

Issue description
Concerned about dust impacts for nearby residents
Concerned about dust impacts to vehicles in the Griffith City Volkswagen car dealership display area during construction.
Response
Air quality impacts as a result of dust generation from the proposal are considered to be minor and would be limited to the construction phase. Any dust impacts during construction would be minimised by
17 Yoogali Intersection Upgrade Submission report
implementing dust suppression measures, including watering or covering exposed areas and stockpiles in line with the Roads and Maritime Services’ Stockpile Site Management Guideline (EMS-TG-10).
2.6.4 Impacts to utilities
Submission number(s)
2
Issue description
Concerned about disruption to utility services during utility relocation work during construction.
Response
Roads and Maritime is working closely with utility providers to minimise the extent of adjustments for the relocation of services. Utility adjustments will be in line with service provider requirements, with measures taken to minimise disruptions. No long-term utility shutdowns are anticipated. The design allows for new service line construction while existing lines remain in place, with only minor disruptions when switching over. In most cases, no service disruption would occur. Roads and Maritime would consult with utility providers and affected residents about any utility impacts before starting work.
2.6.5 Surface levels
Submission number(s)
21, 22
Issue description
Would there be a drop between the footpath and the kerb line as a result of the drainage relocation or would this be relocated?
Response
The proposed footpath would be kerbed and raised from the existing road levels. The Griffith City Volkswagen car dealership display area would be at a lower level than the proposed carriageway and shared path.
2.6.6 Site compound
Submission number(s)

Suggested that four acres of land on Oakes Road could be used as site compound area.
Yoogali Intersection Upgrade 18 Submission report
Response
The suggested location is noted. Compound areas have been assessed under the REF.
2.7 Access
2.7.1 Driveway access
Submission number(s)
2, 16, 18, 21, 22
Issue description
Concerned the proposed median strip on Kurrajong and Mackay avenues would restrict driveway access
Concerned about safety as a result of the proposed median strip on Kurrajong and Mackay avenues and the need for residents to do a u-turn after the lights to access their properties
Shorten the concrete median strip to allow driveway access along Kurrajong and Mackay avenues
Concerned the proposed median strip would restrict access to the Griffith City Volkswagen car dealership. Proposed an alternative access to the car dealership to convert the current entry point to an exit point. As part of this, the car park would need to be realigned to be 90 degrees using road reserve land.
Response
A u-turn movement from Mackay Avenue through the intersection would not be permitted. Roads and Maritime is still investigating median designs and driveway accesses along Mackay Avenue. Other community submissions are also being considered in the design before property access impacts are finalised.
The median along Kurrajong Avenue would not be shortened due to safety issues as a result of the driveway’s proximity to the intersection. Australian Standard (AS2890.1 cl 3.2.3) stipulates driveways should not be located within the area of influence for queue lengths at traffic lights. Where it is not practical to relocate existing driveways, it may be necessary to provide an arrangement that confines traffic to turning left when either entering or exiting driveways.
Roads and Maritime recognises the effect on access to Griffith City Volkswagen and agrees reversal of the driveway access on Kurrajong Avenue is the most practical solution. Roads and Maritime would consult directly with the owners and tenants on how this was to be implemented.
2.7.2 Heavy vehicle access
Submission number(s)
7, 14, 18, 19
Yoogali Intersection Upgrade 19 Submission report
Issue description
Felt the proposal should include dual lanes and wider exit lanes at the Kurrajong Avenue and Burley Griffin Way approaches to cater for oversized loads
Will the new intersection be able to accommodate movement of oversize heavy vehicle loads between Kurrajong Avenue and Irrigation Way?
Consider permitting dual lane access and turning lanes to allow for modular B-triples.
Response
The proposal aims to enhance productivity of heavy vehicles by accommodating long vehicles including B- triples and road trains of up to 36.5 metres for all turning movements across the intersection. In addition, there would be a general improvement to carriageway width due to lane design widths of 3.5 metres and
1.5 metres for nearside shoulders.
New traffic lights, raised medians and rail boom gates would introduce some clearance restrictions, however oversized loads turning right from Kurrajong Avenue to Irrigation Way would not be affected, with a general improvement to turning paths. Turning from Irrigation Way to Kurrajong Avenue would be restricted with five metre clearance to an overhead traffic light outreach arm. New overhead electrical services would be installed on this route to provide seven metre clearance as per existing conditions.
Clearance between rail crossing lights on Burley Griffin Way would be assessed further during the detailed design.
Roads and Maritime has considered dual lane access for modular B-triples in the concept design. The additional construction and utilities impact is beyond the project’s funding allocation. Roads and Maritime has determined the chosen single lane B-triple layout performs acceptably, as detailed in S.2.4.3.
2.7.3 Reduce speeding
Submission number(s)
13, 17
Issue description
Consider implementing measures to deter speeding leading up to the intersection.
Response
Roads and Maritime is not proposing to change speed limits to the intersection’s north and southbound approaches as part of the proposal. However, it is anticipated that introducing traffic lights would improve intersection safety due to controlled traffic movements. Additional signage to provide advanced warning of the intersection would be considered during detailed design.
2.7.4 Signage
Submission number(s)
Yoogali Intersection Upgrade 20 Submission report
17
Issue description
Consider including stop signs and warning signs on the north and southbound approaches.
Response
Traffic lights have been adopted as the preferred intersection treatment for the reasons outlined in Section 2 of the REF. Stop signs were not considered as they would not address the project’s safety and performance objectives. Signage design and location has been carried out in line with Australian Standards. Additional signage to provide advanced warning of the intersection would be considered during detailed design.
2.8 Consultation
2.8.1 Lack of consultation
Submission number(s)
2, 8, 16, 18
Issue description
Concerned about a lack of consultation
Concerned the community has not been consulted about the proposed drainage. Ensure community is consulted on the twin box culverts proposed for the irrigation channel.
Response
Between Monday 25 June 2018 and Friday 20 July 2018, Roads and Maritime displayed the Yoogali intersection upgrade REF and proposed preliminary concept designs for community comment and feedback. A community update was distributed to about 5500 residents and businesses in the suburbs, surrounding the intersection including Griffith, Griffith East, Bilbul, Yoogali, Kooba, Hanwood and Yenda, to raise awareness of the proposal and invite feedback. Hard copies of the REF were made available at Griffith City Council and Griffith Library. Roads and Maritime also door-knocked residents and business owners next to the intersection to discuss the proposal. Updates were also published on Roads and Maritime’s website.
Roads and Maritime would continue to consult with the community and stakeholders during the detailed design and construction phases. Drainage canal structure treatments would be verified with drainage modelling and be consistent with council’s floodplain risk management plan.

3. Changes to the proposal
3.1 Change 1 Closure of Irrigation Way during bridge construction
3.1.1 Description
The REF, displayed between Monday 25 June 2018 and Friday 20 July 2018, noted in Section 6.4.4 “that some partial road closures would be required for construction work within the proposal area. It is not anticipated that there will be a requirement for full road closures”.
Following display, further detailed design, safety and constructability assessments revealed that full road closures on Irrigation Way would be necessary to demolish the existing structure and build the channel crossing safely and efficiently. Roads and Maritime determined the density and clearance to existing live utilities and proximity to nearby rail, traffic and drainage corridors require closing the road to provide safe passage for workers, plant and channel flow diversions.
Roads and Maritime anticipates the road closure and detour routes would remain in place for three months, using the approved emergency detour route shown below:
Figure 3-1: Irrigation Way to Yoogali via Whitton Stock Route Road, Whitton Road and Burley Griffin Way, east of Widgelli
Yoogali Intersection Upgrade 23 Submission report
Existing routes between Leeton/Darlington Point and Griffith are approved for light vehicles and General Mass Limit (GML) B-doubles, including Wilga Road/Kidman Way as an alternate detour route:
Figure 3-2: Irrigation Way to Griffith via Wilga Road, North Kooba Settlers Road and Kidman Way, east of Willbriggie
Roads and Maritime is currently investigating opportunities to accelerate the construction program and would liaise with councils, affected businesses, local residences and service providers to coordinate alternative accesses before the start of work.
3.2 Change 2 Clarification of proposal footprint Section 3.1 of the project REF detailed the proposal with Figures 3-1 to 3-5 presenting the key features of the concept design including road alignment and table drains. These figures did not illustrate the work area required for utility adjustments and earthworks. RMS has since clarified the work area footprint for relocation of underground utilities, materials storage, temporary works and space for access ramps and operating earthmoving machinery.
Figure 3-3 maps the area to be occupied at various stages of the project to complete the proposed scope of works.

4. Environmental assessment
4.1 Detour traffic noise
4.1.1 Additional study
A construction traffic noise assessment has been prepared to estimate the noise impact from detoured traffic while Irrigation Way is closed to traffic. The assessment, provided in Appendix B, also recommends suitable mitigation measures.
4.1.2 Methodology
The Environment Protection Authority’s Interim Construction Noise Guideline does not directly address construction related traffic noise, but refers to the NSW Road Noise Policy for the assessment of construction traffic on public roads.
Where noise levels, generated by a temporary reroute due to a road closure, would increase by no more than 2 dBA, no further assessment is needed. Where increases of more than 2 dBA are expected, noise mitigation should be considered using Roads and Maritime’s Noise Criteria Guideline. This documents Roads and Maritime’s approach to implementing the Road Noise Policy.
Given construction traffic noise is not permanent, guidance to feasible and reasonable noise mitigation differs from operational traffic noise. On this project, the detour is expected to be in place for up to three months.
Roads and Maritime’s Construction Traffic Noise Estimator tool was used to calculate the expected traffic noise increase for each separate road for the following two detour scenarios, as shown in Figure 4-1.
1. Scenario 1 – 100% of detour traffic to use northern route. This scenario is considered the worst case scenario for sensitive receivers along the northern route. It is not considered likely that 100% of detoured traffic would use the northern route.
2. Scenario 2 – 50% of detour traffic to use northern route and 50% to use southern route. This scenario is considered to be a reasonably likely split of traffic during the Irrigation Way closure at Yoogali.
4.1.3 Description of existing environment
The proposed detour route for the Irrigation Way closure is via Whitton Stock Route Road and Burley Griffin Way, shown as the northern detour route in Figure 4-1. This route is considered preferable given it is an existing approved road train route and provides good visibility at intersections. Although the northern detour route would be the formally advertised and sign posted detour route, it is considered that some local traffic may eventually use a more convenient route via Wilga Road and Kidman Way, shown as the southern detour route in Figure 4-1.
Yoogali Intersection Upgrade 28 Submission report
Figure 4-1: Work location and detour routes
4.1.4 Potential impacts
Increases in road traffic noise greater than 2 dBA result in a noticeable change in the noise environment. Results of the noise assessment are summarised in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2. Where the traffic noise increase is expected to be more than 2 dbA, the cells are shaded red. Where the traffic noise increase is expected to be 2 dBA or less, the cells are shaded green.
Yoogali Intersection Upgrade 29 Submission report

Road Day Night
Whitton Stock Route Road >2 dBA >2 dBA
Burley Griffin Way <2 dBA <2 dBA
Wilga Road <2 dBA <2 dBA
Kidman Way <2 dBA <2 dBA
A noticeable change in the noise environment resulting from the detoured traffic is only expected for Whitton Stock Route Road and is expected for both scenarios. The noise increase along Whitton Stock Route Road been estimated to be 6.7 dBA for scenario 1 and 4.5 dBA for scenario 2.
A mitigation distance, where additional mitigation measures should be considered, was calculated by Roads and Maritime’s Construction Traffic Noise Estimator tool. The most conservative mitigation distance along Whitton Stock Route Road is 63 metres (for night-time traffic). The mitigation distance for this road during the day is 51 metres. These distances relate to Scenario 1, which is the worst case scenario for the sensitive receivers along Whitton Stock Route Road.
There is one sensitive receiver within the mitigation distance of 63 metres from Whitton Stock Route Road, as shown in Figure 4-2. This residence is located about 210 metres north of Wood Road and is set back about 30 metres from Whitton Stock Route Road. Mitigation measures to minimise the temporary detour traffic noise impact on the sensitive receiver are listed in section 4.1.5.

4.1.5 Revised safeguards and management measures
The following additional safeguards and management measures are recommended to address the traffic noise expected to be generated while Irrigation Way is closed.
Impact Environmental safeguard Responsibility Timing
Traffic noise Consult with affected resident shown in Figure 4-2 at least two weeks prior to work starting.

construction
4.2 Clarification of proposal footprint
4.2.1 Potential impacts
There would be no additional impact on the environment from the clarification of the proposal footprint.
4.2.2 Revised safeguards and management measures
No additional or revised safeguards or management measures are needed for the clarification of the proposal footprint.
4.3 Site compound area
4.3.1 Description of existing environment
The lot to be included in the potential site compound area (Lot 272) is currently used for agricultural purposes. The lot is heavily disturbed, has been cleared of vegetation and appears to be regularly ploughed and cropped. An existing lot access point is available from Bartholomew Road, about 300 metres south of its intersection with Irrigation Way.
Bartholomew Road is an unsealed local road that provides direct access to a small number of rural residences and agricultural properties.
4.3.2 Potential impacts
Should the existing access point along Bartholomew Road be used to access the site compound area, there would be an increase in traffic movements along Bartholomew Road. The construction traffic movements along Bartholomew Road would generate dust and traffic noise.
The nearest sensitive receiver is a farm cottage located on the south-eastern side of Irrigation Way and Bartholomew Road, shown in Figure 4-3. This cottage is expected to be the most affected by the proposed change.
The REF assessed construction noise impacts, which included construction traffic noise generated by traffic movements to the potential site compound area. The REF determined additional noise arising from construction traffic movements to the potential site compound area is unlikely to change the above stated noise criteria. Although this assessment was based on the expected change in traffic numbers along Irrigation Way and not Bartholomew Road, the most affected residence is located close to Irrigation Way
Yoogali Intersection Upgrade 32 Submission report
and the expected noise impact from a change in access point to the potential site compound area would be minor.

No vegetation clearing would be needed to use the additional lot. No additional environmental impact is expected from the proposed change.
The expected environmental impact of the additional lot for site compound use is considered to be minor. Implementing the safeguards and mitigation measures listed in Table 5-1 would manage and minimise expected noise and air quality impacts. Safeguard AQ1 requires the preparation and implementation of a CEMP to manage dust generation and safeguard NV1 requires the preparation and implementation of a Noise and Vibration Management Plan.
4.3.3 Revised safeguards and management measures
No additional or revised safeguards or management measures are needed for the inclusion of the additional site compound lot.
Yoogali Intersection Upgrade 33 Submission report
5. Environmental management The Yoogali intersection upgrade REF identified the environmental management framework, including safeguards and management measures that would be adopted to avoid or reduce environmental impacts (Section 7 of the REF).
After considering the issues raised in the public submissions and changes to the proposal, the safeguard and management measures have been revised to include additional mitigation measures to address expected noise impacts along traffic detour routes.
Should the proposal proceed, environmental management will be guided by the framework and measures outlined below.
5.1 Environmental management plans (or system) A number of safeguards and management measures have been identified in order to minimise adverse environmental impacts, including social impacts, which could potentially arise as a result of the proposal. Should the proposal proceed, these management measures would be incorporated into the detailed design and applied during construction and operation.
A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) would be prepared to describe safeguards and management measures identified. The CEMP would provide a framework for establishing how these measures would be carried out and who would be responsible for their implementation.
The CEMP would be prepared before construction of the proposal and must be reviewed and certified by South West region’s Environment staff before the start of any on-site works. The CEMP would be a working document, subject to ongoing change and updated as necessary to respond to specific requirements. The CEMP would be developed in line with the specifications set out in the QA Specification G36 – Environmental Protection (Management System), QA Specification G38 – Soil and Water Management (Soil and Water Plan), QA Specification G40 – Clearing and Grubbing and QA Specification G10 – Traffic Management.
5.2 Summary of safeguards and management measures The Yoogali intersection upgrade REF identified a range of environmental outcomes and management measures that would be required to avoid or reduce environmental impacts.
After considering the issues raised in the public submissions, the environmental management measures for the proposal (refer to Section 7 of the REF) have been revised. Should the proposal proceed, the environmental management measures in Table 5-1 would guide the following proposal phases. Additional and/or modified environmental safeguards and management measures to those presented in the REF have been underlined and deleted measures, or parts of measures, have been struck out.
