1.2 Proposed Use and Development
It is proposed to demolish the existing building at the site and to construct a new two
storey building that will contain a café and first-floor dwelling.
The proposed café will be located at ground floor level and will have a gross floor
area of 118m2. This includes the café seating area, Spencer Street entry, kitchen and
bathroom facilities. An operator for the café has not yet been secured. However, it is
intended to provide a breakfast and lunch service and is not intended to be licenced.
The hours of operation are therefore intended to be 7am to 3pm on Monday to Friday
and 8am to 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. The closest example of the type of café
that is intended to be established is Cuccina Café in Margaret Street, Launceston.
It is anticipated that the café will employ up to 5 to 6 persons. It is further anticipated

that there will be 2 deliveries to the café each day shortly after 7am involving
perishable food items, and 2 other deliveries each week on a Monday and Friday at
around midday. Delivery vehicles will be capable of utilising short term parking
spaces in St Georges Square.
The site has an area of 233m2 and it is therefore not proposed to make provision for
the off-street parking of vehicles associated with the café.
The proposed café will include a single garage and pedestrian entry at ground floor
level, and 1 bedroom, living area, kitchen, bathroom and 2 decks at first-floor level.
The garage will be accessed over a new crossover to be constructed in Spencer
Street adjacent to the western boundary of the site.
The application constitutes a modification to the proposal that was subject to planning
application DA0352/2018, which has been withdrawn. The key changes to the
proposal in the current application include:
1. Reduction in the gross floor area of the café from 147.48m2 to 118m2.
2. Provision of single-car garage at ground floor level for the proposed first-floor
dwelling.
3. Stepping-in of the first-floor wall of the dwelling from the western side boundary
to provide a side setback of at least 3.153m.
The Development Plans for the proposal are included in Appendix A.

2.0 Location
2.1 Subject Site
The subject site is located at 6 St Georges Square, East Launceston. It is contained

in a single lot (CT 60333/1) which has an area of 233m2. The relevant title
documentation is included in Appendix B.
The site contains an existing single-storey building that has a floor area of 162m2.
The existing retail use within the building occupies an area of 120m2, including a
kitchen and bathroom that is shared with a residence in the western portion of the
building. The residence is currently unoccupied. The retail use offers convenience
items (e.g. newspapers, milk, bread), takeaway food and coffee.
The site is zoned Local Business under the Scheme.
Figure 2 – Zoning Map
2.2 Description of the Surrounding Area
The site is surrounded by residential use and development in the Inner Residential
Zone to the north, south and west, and St Georges Square (street and park) to the
east. The surrounding residential area comprises a combination of single and two
storey dwellings of varying styles with differing materials and finishes. The adjoining
properties to the north and west contain single storey dwellings.

The site is identified within the Scenic Management Area – Central Hills Precinct on
the Scheme maps. The precinct is comprised of established residential development
extending up to the skyline, along High Street and Talbot Road, which includes
properties with substantial vegetation plantings. It also includes City Park, Windmill
Hill, St Georges Square (park), Princes Square and Brickfields Reserve. The precinct
forms the principal backdrop for South Launceston, Newstead and central
Launceston.
Figure 3 – Central Hills Precinct Map
2.3 Natural Values and Hazards
The site is located within a fully developed urban area. There are no identified natural
values or hazards associated with the site.
2.4 Site Access
The site has frontage to St Georges Square and Spencer Street. An existing driveway
crossover is located adjacent to the site in St Georges Square however it is not
utilised to provide vehicular access to any formal parking areas within the site. The
road pavement directly adjacent to the crossover is designated for a 5-minute parking
space.
2.5 Site Servicing
The site is fully serviced including connections to the public sewer, water and
stormwater systems.

3.0 Planning Assessment

3.1 Categorisation of the Development
A proposed use and development is required to be categorised into a use class in

accordance with Clause 8.2 of the Scheme. The proposal involves two uses and
therefore each use is required to be individually categorised into a use in accordance
with Clause 8.2.5.
The proposed café is categorised into the Food Services use class, which is defined
as follows:
use of land for preparing or selling food or drink for consumption on or off the
premises. Examples include a cafe, restaurant and take-away food premises.
The proposed first-floor dwelling is categorised into the Residential use class, which
is defined as follows:
use of land for self contained or shared living accommodation. Examples include
an ancillary dwelling, boarding house, communal residence, home-based
business, hostel, residential aged care home, residential college, respite centre,
retirement village and single or multiple dwellings.
The use table for the Local Business Zone in Clause 20.2 identifies that the Food
Services use class is Permitted. The Residential use class is also identified as
Permitted where the following qualification is satisfied:
If above ground floor or where access does not require removal of any ground
floor use.
The proposed dwelling will be located above ground floor and does not require
removal of a ground floor use. It satisfies the qualification and is therefore a Permitted
use.
The specific zone and code provisions are addressed in the assessment which
follows. The acceptable solution requirements for the applicable standards are
considered in Sections 3.2 to 3.5. The proposal relies on several performance criteria
to demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards. A Discretionary permit is
therefore sought for the proposal. The applicable performance criteria, and
discretions that are sought to be exercised, include:
• Clause 20.3.2 Mechanical Plant and Equipment – Performance Criteria P1

• Clause 20.3.4 Noise Level – Performance Criteria P1
• Clause 20.4.1 Building Height, Setbacks and Siting - Performance Criteria P4
• Clause 20.4.3 Active Ground Floors - Performance Criteria P4
• Clause E4.6.4 Sight Distances at Accesses, Junctions and Level Crossings –
Performance Criteria P1
• Clause E6.5.1 Car Parking Numbers – Performance Criteria P1
• Clause E7.6.2 Scenic Management Areas – Performance Criteria P1
These performance criteria are considered in Section 4.

3.2 Local Business Zone
3.2.1 Zone Purpose
The zone purpose statements for the zone include the following:
20.1.1.1 To provide for business, professional and retail services which meet the
convenience needs of a local area.
20.1.1.2 To ensure that the primary purpose of the zone is maintained and use and
development does not distort the activity centre hierarchy.
20.1.1.3 To maintain or improve the function, appearance and distinctive qualities
of neighbourhood centres.
20.1.1.4 To create:
(a) activity at pedestrian levels, with active road frontages offering interest
and engagement to shoppers; and
(b) appropriate provision for car parking, pedestrian access and traffic
circulation.
20.1.1.5 To encourage a diversity of residential developments, including shop-top
housing and tourist accommodation, which support the functions of
neighbourhood centres.
The proposed uses are Permitted in the zone and therefore are deemed to be
consistent with the zone purpose. The proposal involves a redevelopment of the site
that will enhance an existing active road frontage facing St Georges Square and
provide for improved residential accommodation in the form of a first-floor apartment.
The application demonstrates that proposed café is capable of being adequately
serviced by existing road infrastructure and on-street parking in the surrounding area.
3.2.2 Use Standards
In accordance with Table 20.3 of the Scheme, the use standards in Clauses 20.3.1
to 20.3.4 apply to the café use only.

(b) the nature of the proposed use;
(c) the topography of the site;
(d) the landscaping of the site; and
(e) any mitigation measures
proposed.
The proposal includes an air exhaust system that is intended to control odour
emissions from the café kitchen. Consistent with similar proposals, it is expected that
a standard permit condition would be applied which will ensure that the system is
designed to avoid unreasonable odour and noise emissions.
It is noted that the existing building contains kitchen facilities that are utilised in
conjunction with the operation of the shop and associated takeaway. The potential
for emissions is therefore not a new issue that is introduced by the proposal, and is
capable of being managed by an appropriately worded permit condition.
The air conditioning units associated with the proposal have been located on the
southern side of the building (adjacent to Spencer Street) to ensure there is no
unreasonable impact on adjoining residential properties.
The proposal complies with the Performance Criteria P1 in Clause 20.3.2.

The application is accompanied by a Noise Assessment (Appendix D) which

recommends the inclusion of a 2.1m noise barrier fence along the norther side
boundary to mitigate the impact of café patrons on background noise levels. The
recommended fence is identified on the Development Plans. The Noise Assessment
further identifies that the LAeq (equivalent continuous sound level) that was
measured indicates that the existing noise environment will assist in masking noise
generated by café patrons.
The site is located in an urban environment and contains an existing shop and
associated takeaway that will be replaced by a café. The proposed café will operate
during daytime hours. It is considered that noise generated by the proposed use will
not unreasonably impact the amenity of nearby sensitive uses, having regard to the
mitigation that is proposed and the character of the surrounding area.
The proposal therefore with the Performance Criteria P1 in Clause 20.3.4.

The proposed development will be setback 1.191m from the northern side boundary.
The northern glazed wall associated with the café seating area will be stepped-in
from the boundary, and therefore will have a side setback of 3.141m. The proposed
development will be setback 150mm from the western side boundary. Given the
shape of the lot, the setback will increase to 614mm in the north-west corner of the
building. The western wall relates to the ground-floor garage associated with the
dwelling. It will have a height of 3.1m. The first-floor wall associated with the dwelling
will be stepped-in from the western side boundary. It will have a side setback of
3.153m, increasing to 3.671m.

The siting of the proposed development ensures that it will not cause an
unreasonable loss of amenity to the adjoining residential properties, having regard to
the following consideration of the matters listed in the performance criteria:
(a) The site and the adjoining lots are located on a broad ridgeline and the slope is
therefore relatively flat. Its topography does not have a significant influence on
the apparent scale of the proposed building relative to the adjoining dwellings.
(b) The stepping-in of the proposed building from the northern and western side
boundaries will assist in reducing its apparent height, bulk and form when viewed
from the adjoining lots, and therefore its impact on the amenity of these lots.
(c) Given the orientation of the site, the proposed building will not overshadow the
adjoining lot to the north.
The shadow diagrams included with the Development Plans (Appendix A)

demonstrate that the proposed building will not significantly overshadow the
adjoining property to the west. The overshadowing of the adjoining dwelling
caused by the proposal at 9am on 21 June will be confined to it roof and a very
small portion of the private space to the rear of the garage. The degree of impact
will further reduce thereafter due to the path of the sun.
(d) The north-facing window associated with the living area within the first-floor
dwelling will not directly overlook any windows or formalised area of private open
space within the adjoining lot to the north. The proposed 10m2 deck in the north-
west corner of the dwelling will be setback 1.191m from the northern side
boundary and has the potential to overlook the private open space to the rear of
the adjoining dwelling. An opaque glass screen with a height of 1.7m is proposed
along the northern side of the deck to minimise this impact. The 2.1m acoustic
screen at ground level along the northern side boundary will also assist in
reducing any privacy impacts within the adjoining property.
The western wall of the proposed building, at first-floor level, includes a 600mm
x 600mm window and the western side of the 10m2 deck associated with the
dwelling. The window will be associated with a bathroom, will have a sill height
of 1.5m and will be setback more than 3m from the western side boundary.
Therefore, it will not unreasonably impact the privacy of the adjoining lot to the
west. Similarly, the deck will be setback 3.6m from the side boundary which is
considered sufficient to minimise any potential privacy impacts.
(e) The siting and design of the proposed building ensures that it will not
unreasonably impact the amenity of the adjoining residential lots by reason of
visual bulk, overshadowing and overlooking.
(f) The site area (233m2) and proportions constrains the ability to achieve a
functional building that provide a buffer to the zone boundary. The proposed
building has therefore been stepped-in from the side boundaries, both in terms
of setback and height, to assist in minimising its impact upon the amenity of the
adjoining residential lots. The proposed setbacks are also compatible with the
adjoining dwellings.

(g) The subject site is fully developed and therefore does not include any vegetation.
Given the siting and design of the proposed dwelling, screening vegetation is not
considered to be required. The proposed development includes vegetation in the
north-east corner, which is proposed for landscaping purposes.
(h) There is only a limited number of openings within the adjoining dwellings to the
north and west that will directly face the proposed building.
(i) Further to the assessment of Acceptable Solution A1 in Clause 20.3.3, external

lighting associated with the proposal is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the
adjoining of the adjoining residential lots.

The proposed development has been designed to maximise interaction with

pedestrians, having regard to the following consideration of the matters listed in the
performance criteria:
(a) The proposed ground-floor café is orientated to face St Georges Square,

consistent with the existing building. The façade that will face onto St Georges
Square includes a relatively extensive amount of glazing which will provide
openness and transparency. St Georges Square provides primary frontage to the
site, given that the width of the frontage is narrower than it is to Spencer Street.
It is also a higher order road and faces St Georges Square (park) on the opposite
side of the street. The Traffic Impact Assessment identifies that pedestrian
activity in St Georges Square (street) is relatively high.
Spencer Street is a relatively narrow and quiet residential street. The openings
in the Spencer Street façade will be limited to providing secondary pedestrian
access into the café and ground-level access to the dwelling.
The level of openness is considered appropriately reflect the nature of the

adjoining streets.
(b) The proposal does not include security grills or screens.
(c) The 2 air conditioning units adjacent to Spencer Street will be placed on a section
of wall that will be stepped-in from the frontage and will be located behind timber
screen that will obscure their visibility.
(d) The St Georges Square and Spencer Street façades include window and/or door
openings that provide for appropriate levels of pedestrian interaction, and
therefore do not comprise blank walls. The proposal does not include any signage
panels or blocked out windows.

The proposed café is capable of being adequately serviced by on-street parking in

the surrounding area, having regard to the following consideration of the matters
listed in the performance criteria:
(a) There is no public off-street car parking areas within the surrounding area that
are likely to be utilised by the proposed café. However, on-street parking is
available, and its potential utilisation is considered further in item (e) below.
(b) It is anticipated that the proposed café will principally be a destination in its own
right and therefore multiple users (already using spaces in the surrounding area)
would be limited to residents dining at the café or commuters purchasing
takeaway coffee.
(c) Metro Tasmania bus stops are located along High Street within 100m of the site.
(d) The site area (233m2) and dimensions restricts the ability to include a parking
area with suitable circulation aisles within the site together with a functional
building with an active frontage use at ground floor level.
(e) The Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) which accompanies the application includes
the outcomes of on-street parking utilisation surveys. The relevant data was
obtained at midday on various weekdays, which is the estimated period of peak
utilisation including on-street parking by commuters and customers of the existing
store. The surveys support the utilisation of on-street parking in the surrounding
area by the proposal.
Customers of the café are likely to utilise on-street parking for a longer period
than those associated with the existing shop and associated takeaway. In this
respect, the surveys identify that there were 24 medium and long term (i.e. 3P,
3P Residential Parking Permit Area C and Unrestricted) spaces unoccupied
within 80m of the site on average, and 16 medium and long term spaces
unoccupied within 80m during the busiest period recorded (midday 23/07/2018).
This exceeds the number would be required to satisfy the requirement in the
planning scheme associated with the proposal (i.e. 11 spaces).
Excluding the 3P Residential Parking Permit Area C spaces from these figures
due to potential higher demand for utilisation by residents in the morning and on
weekends, there were 8 spaces unoccupied within 80m of the site on average
and 6 on average during the busiest period recorded. However, within 120m of
the site, there was a total of 17 unoccupied spaces on average and 11 during the
busiest period recorded, which matches or exceeds the number required to
satisfy the planning scheme requirement.
Notwithstanding, the re-allocation of short term (i.e. 5 Minute and 1/4P) spaces
directly adjacent to the site in St Georges Square to 1 hour parking would reduce
the demand for other available (medium and long term) spaces within proximity
of the site, and could be undertaken by Council as road authority if desired
(without the need for planning approval). It is already proposed to convert 1 of
the 5 Minute spaces to an accessible space for people with a disability. Retention
of 1 short term space for deliveries would also be desirable. Therefore, up to 5
other short term spaces could potentially be converted to 1 hour parking.

It is likely that employees of the café will utilise on-street parking spaces that are
not subject to time restrictions in the surrounding area. The surveys identified
that, on average, there were 3 unoccupied unrestricted spaces within 80m of the
site and 7 within 120m of the site. Other unrestricted spaces are available within
the surrounding area beyond these distances.
(f) The TIA includes an assessment of car parking demand.
(g) Refer to response to item (d).
(h) The application is accompanied by a TIA.
The parking demands associated with the site are currently satisfied by on-street
parking in the surrounding area. The TIA demonstrates that utilisation of on-street
parking in conjunction with the proposal will remain within the available capacity. The
proposal therefore complies with the Performance Criteria P1 in Clause E6.5.1.

The development will be unobtrusive in the landscape and, will complement the
character of the scenic management area, having regard to the following
consideration of the matters listed in the performance criteria:
(a) The Existing Character Statement for the Central Hills Precinct states:
The Central Hills Precinct encompasses the residential area located along the
ridgeline of a hillside to the east of the central Launceston area.
The Precinct is dominated by skyline development, with many of those homes
being of heritage significance. Street views can also be important in this precinct.
The Precinct forms the principal backdrop for South Launceston, Newstead and
central Launceston. The Precinct also includes key parks within central
Launceston area, including City Park. Vegetation coverage is typically exotic,
with a mix of deciduous and evergreen species.
The character statement identifies that the scenic management area forms the
principal backdrop for South Launceston, Newstead and central Launceston. It is
comprised of established residential development extending up to the skyline,
along High Street and Talbot Road, which includes properties with substantial
vegetation plantings. It also includes City Park, Windmill Hill and St Georges
Square (park).
The subject site is an existing non-residential property located at the edge of the
scenic management area, to the west of the major arterial road (High Street) that
extends through the precinct. It is a fully developed lot and therefore does not
include any vegetation. It is surrounded by residential development to the north,
south and west, and St Georges Square (street and park) to the east. The
surrounding residential development includes a combination of single and two
storey dwellings of varying styles with differing materials and finishes. The
adjoining properties to the north and west contain low level tree plantings.
However, there are other properties in the surrounding are that contain more
substantial plantings.
The Management Objectives for the precinct are addressed as follows:
(a) Maintain and enhance vegetation, particularly with a mix of deciduous and
evergreen species, consistent with the existing character of the area.
Promote tree planting in existing non-treed areas. Encourage species that
will strongly contribute to the canopy cover in the Precinct.
The site does not contain any vegetation to be maintained, and its size limits the
ability to provide vegetation capable of contributing to the canopy cover in the
precinct. It is proposed to provide low level plantings in the north-east portion of
the site, consistent with existing plantings within the adjoining lots. The existing
vegetation in surrounding properties and in St Georges Square already
contributes to the canopy cover in the precinct.

(b) Development, particularly residential development, will blend in with existing

development by its location, form, scale and exterior finishes.
The proposed development will blend with the broad mix of residential
development that exists in the surrounding area. Its height and scale will be
consistent with other two storey buildings in the area. It will comprise a
combination of brick and other external cladding which will have a weatherboard
appearance. The extent of glazing proposed is consistent with other modern
residential development in the surrounding area and the existing shopfronts to
the south of St Georges Square (park), and will be visually compatible with
existing development.
(c) Encourage driveways to be inevident, by following contours and being

screened by vegetation.
The proposed single garage will be directly accessible from Spencer Street over
a new crossover and relatively short driveway (1m in length). The length of the
driveway ensures that it will be inevident in the landscape.
(d) Increased residential density is encouraged, but only where development

does not adversely interrupt the existing or historic pattern of development,
and ability of the site to maintain significant vegetation. The favoured form
of this type of development is one building, with shared driveways and
gardens to maximise the open space available for vegetation.
The site is a 233m2 lot that is fully developed. It contains an existing building that
includes a residence, and therefore the proposal will not result in an increased
residential density. The size of the site limits the ability to provide substantial
vegetation however it is proposed to provide low level plantings in the north-east
corner.
(e) Development within parklands is to be considerate of its scenic and

landscape values.
The proposal does not involve development within a parkland.
The proposal is therefore consistent with the relevant Management Objectives.
(b) The height and scale of the proposed development will be consistent with other
two storey buildings in the area. Therefore, it will not increase the impact that
existing development within the precinct has upon the skyline.
(c) The site contains an existing building that occupies most of the site area, and will
be demolished for the proposed development. The proposed development will
be visually compatible with existing development in the surrounding area.

(d) The site does not include any existing vegetation to be retained. The proposed
development includes vegetation in the north-east corner, which is proposed for
landscaping purposes. The low level plantings will be consistent with existing
plantings within the adjoining lots.
(e) Given that the site is fully developed, there is no need to clear existing vegetation.
(f) There are no relevant requirements for hazard management contained in the
Scheme provisions.
(g) The site is already fully serviced.
(h) The application seeks a dispensation from the requirement to provide parking for
the café within the site. It is considered that this will assist in ensuring that the
proposed development is visually compatible with existing residential
development in the surrounding area.
(i) The site does not include an existing vegetation to be retained.
(j) Refer to assessment of Management Objective (b) for the Central Hills Precinct.
Additionally, it is noted that the proposed development will not involve any cut or
fill.
The proposal complies with the Performance Criteria P1 in Clause E7.6.2.

5.0 Conclusion
The proposed development involves a use and development of a café and first-floor
dwelling at 6 St Georges Square, East Launceston.
The proposal complies with the applicable Scheme standards in the Local Business
Zone and relevant code provisions, including the following performance criteria:
• Clause 20.3.2 Mechanical Plant and Equipment – Performance Criteria P1

• Clause 20.3.4 Noise Level – Performance Criteria P1
• Clause 20.4.1 Building Height, Setbacks and Siting - Performance Criteria P4
• Clause 20.4.3 Active Ground Floors - Performance Criteria P4
• Clause E4.6.4 Sight Distances at Accesses, Junctions and Level Crossings –
Performance Criteria P1
• Clause E6.5.1 Car Parking Numbers – Performance Criteria P1
• Clause E7.6.2 Scenic Management Areas – Performance Criteria P1
It is therefore submitted that a Discretionary permit can be issued for the use and
proposed development in accordance with Section 57 of the Land Use Planning and
Approvals Act 1993.

1. Introduction
1.1 Background
This TIA reviews the proposed ground floor Café and first floor residence at 6 St Georges
Square, East Launceston.
The review considers the adjacent road network, road safety, parking requirements and
impact of traffic generated by the development.
This Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)should be submitted with the development application
for the proposal and has been prepared based on Department of State Growth guidelines and
provides details as follows:
◼ Anticipated additional traffic and pedestrian movements

◼ The significance of the impact of these movements on the existing road network
◼ Any changes required to accommodate the additional traffic
1.2 Objectives
A traffic impact assessment is a means for assisting in the planning and design of sustainable
development proposals that consider:
◼ Safety and capacity
◼ Equity and social justice
◼ Economic efficiency and the environment and
◼ Future development with traffic projections for 10 years
1.3 Scope of Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)
This TIA considers in detail the impact of the proposal on St Georges Square and the adjacent
streets including Spencer Street and Arthur Street which is a collector road linking
Launceston with High Street and East Launceston.

4. Existing Conditions
4.1 Transport Network
The local road network at East Launceston consists of a residential, collector and arterial
roads. High Street is the closest arterial and Arthur Street the closest collector road, the others
are residential streets are St Georges Square and Spencer Street. There are no State Roads
nearby and the General Urban default speed limit of 50km/hr applies.
The existing shop at 6 St Georges Square appears to attract a mix of local customers who
walk or drive to the shop. During inspection times there has always been on street parking
available both sides of St Georges Square beside the shop.
4.1.1 High and Arthur Streets, East Launceston

The High / Arthur Street intersection is the closest and busiest intersection near the shop and
is managed with a roundabout which appears to operate quite well.
High Street is an arterial road and carries about 10,000 vehicles per day. It supports mobile
takeaway parking on the east side and unrestricted all-day parking on the west side, within
50m walking distance of the shop via the footpath through St Georges Square Park. High
Street has footpath both sides and one traffic lane in each direction and is a bus route.
Arthur Street is a collector road and carries about 4,000 vehicles per day and supports on
street parking and footpath both sides of the road. The Arthur / St Georges Square junction is
about 30m from the shop. The parking lanes are 2.0m wide and the traffic lanes are 4.6m and
5.0m wide in the east and west bound direction respectively with 2.7m and 2.0m wide
footpaths on each side. On street parking consists of a mix of 3P, unrestricted and 3P
Residential Parking Permit Area C parking.

4.1.2 St Georges Square and Spencer Street

St Georges Square is a residential street and carries about 300 vehicles per day and supports
on street parking both sides of the road. The sealed width varies between 9.0-9.6m as there is
no kerb on the east side of the road. With parking both sides the trafficable width of the road
is typically 5.5m which supports two-way flow. There is a 2.7m wide footpath on the eastern
side of the road only.
South of the shop, parking on the eastern side is unrestricted and on the western side subject
to 3P Residential Parking Permit Area C parking.
North of the shop parking on the eastern side is ¼ P and on the western side consists of two
5minute parking spaces with the remainder 3P Residential Parking Permit Area C parking.

Spencer Street is a narrow residential street and carries about 40 vehicles per day and
supports on street parking on the north side only. There is kerb & channel with footpath both
sides of the road. The footpaths are typically 2.0m wide and the trafficable width of road from
face to face of kerb is 5.3m. With No Parking restrictions on the south side of the road and
parking on the north side the trafficable width of the road is 3.3m.
Street lighting exists at intersections and the road infrastructure is in good condition.

St Georges Square
The estimated average annual daily traffic (AADT) for St Georges Square varies because
different intersections are involved. The AADT outside the shop is likely to be between 293
and 350 vehicles per day. An AADT of 300 vehicles per day is normal for a short residential
street with development on only one side.
Arthur Street
An AADT of 3,840 vehicles per day is in the normal range for a collector road.
Spencer Street
An AADT of 53 vehicles per day is low for a residential street fully developed both sides
with a shop at one end. The narrow width could possibly be a factor.
4.3 Crash History

The Department of State Growth is supplied with reported crashes by Tasmania Police. The
Department maintains a crash database from the crash reports which is used to monitor road
safety, identify problem areas and develop improvement schemes.
The 5-year reported crash history for St Georges Square and Spencer Street records no
crashes.
4.4 Services
There are telecommunication services in the footpath on St Georges Square at the corner of
the existing shop as can be seen in figure 13.
4.5 On Street Parking Review

A parking utilisation survey was conducted during July 2018. Figures16 and 17 show parking
supply and demand recorded during various weekdays at estimated times of peak utilisation
i.e. around lunch time when commuter and local shop customer parking is at a peak.

4.6 Road Safety Review

From inspection of St Georges Square, Spencer Street and the junction with Arthur Street
there do not appear to be any specific road safety deficiencies for road users. The roads cater
for pedestrians with footpaths and on street parking both sides.
The local speed environment appears to be about 40km/hr despite the General Urban Speed
Limit of 50km/hr. The low speed environment is appropriate for the level of pedestrian
activity observed.
From site observations pedestrian activity on St Georges Square is relatively high. Pedestrians
can be regularly observed crossing St George Street and Spencer Street near the shop. Figure
18 summarises observations.

• The east - west pedestrian activity crossing St Georges Square was observed near the
Arthur Street junction.
• The north-south pedestrian activity was observed on the west side of St Georges
Square crossing Spencer Street.
Safe System Approach to assessing pedestrian safety
This approach involves application of a Safe System assessment framework for identifying
and reducing crash risk for all road users. This framework involves consideration of risk
exposure, likelihood and severity to yield a risk framework score. In terms of pedestrian
safety St Georges Square scores are as follows:
• Pedestrian exposure is low-moderate (low no. of cars & mod. no. of peds) i.e. 2/4
• Crash likelihood is low-moderate (footpaths but ordinary road crossings) i.e. 2/4
• Crash severity is low-moderate (30- 40 km /hr speed environment) i.e. 2 /4.
This yields a safe system score of 8/64 which is a low risk score so a low-cost treatment such
as pedestrian warning signage could be justified.

5. Traffic Generation and Assignment

This section of the report describes how traffic generated by the proposal is distributed within
the adjacent road network now and in ten years (2029).
5.1 Traffic Growth

The rate of background traffic growth on St Georges Square and surrounding streets due to
other development is assumed to be 0% because of the fully developed nature of roadside
development in the area.
5.2 Trip Generation

The applicable traffic generation rates for the proposal are as follows:
• Existing ground floor 1bedroom residence at 4 trips /day and 0.4 trips / peak hour
• Existing 120m² Corner Shop at 56 trips / 100m² GFA/day and peak hour rate of 6.7
trips/hr with 67 trips/day
To be replaced with proposed:
• Upstairs 1bedroom residence at 4 trips /day and 0.4 trips / peak hour
• Ground floor 118 m² Café at 56 trips / 100m² GFA/day and peak hour rate of 6.6 trips
/hr with 66 trips / day
Accordingly, the proposal is expected to result in no increase in traffic.
This is consistent with Traffic Generation Rates for Key Land Uses sourced from the RTA
Guide to Traffic Generating Developments under section 1.4 References.
In terms of expected deliveries to the shop:

• 2 deliveries daily for fruit/veg and milk/bread. These stops are 2-3minutes in length
and occur at around 7am each day.
• Other deliveries are estimated to occur twice weekly on a Monday and Friday around
midday and involve small trucks.
• It is anticipated that deliveries will be via short term parking on St Georges Square.
5.3 Trip Assignment
It is estimated that the future traffic movements will have a similar arrival and departure
patterns to the current situation as summarised in figures 14 and 15.

6. Impact on Road Network

6.1 Traffic impact
6.1.1 Proposed 6 St Georges Square development
The proposal will contribute no additional trips per day to current traffic flow on St Georges
Square once fully developed. The low levels of vehicular traffic involved means that there
will be no traffic capacity concerns with the proposal.
The low volume and speed of traffic on St Georges Square and Spencer Street suggests there
should be no traffic safety concerns with the proposal. It is noted that there is above average
pedestrian activity on St Georges Square for a residential street due to shop customers and
commuter parking nearby. Pedestrian Warning signage could be introduced to improve
driver awareness and pedestrian safety.
The on-street parking utilisation survey suggests that there is unutilised parking space for
short term (5-15 minute), medium term (3 hour) and long term (>3hour) customer parking
within 80m and 120m of the development site that can cater for increased customer demand
and residential parking if necessary, see figure17.
As an observation, the 5*1/4P parking spaces could have the parking duration adjusted for
most of the spaces to 1 hour, at Councils discretion, depending on short term parking demand.
6.2 Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 – Road and

Railway Assets Code E4
6.2.1 Code E4.5.1 Existing road accesses and junctions
Acceptable solution A3: The annual average daily traffic (AADT) of vehicle movements, to
and from a site, using an existing access or junction, in an area subject to speed limit of
60km/h or less, must not increase by more than 20% or 40 vehicle movements per day,
whichever is the greater.
The proposal satisfies acceptable solution A3 as AADT is 300 movements per day and
the proposal will not generate any additional movements per day i.e. a 0 % increase.
6.2.2 Code E4.6.2 Road accesses and junctions
Acceptable solution A3: No more than one access providing both entry and exit, or two
accesses providing separate entry and exit, to roads in an area subject to a speed limit of
60km/h or less.
The proposal satisfies acceptable solution A3 as one new vehicular access is proposed.

6.2.3 Code E4.6.4 Sight distance at accesses, junctions and level crossings
Acceptable solution A1: Sight distances at:

(a) an access or junction must comply with the Safe Intersection Sight Distance
shown in Table E4.6.4; and
(b)rail level crossings must comply with AS1742.7.
The proposal does not satisfy acceptable solution A1 as the proposed vehicular access is
within a very low speed environment estimated at 30km/h within Spencer Street which is a
very narrow, short and quite residential access street and Table E4.6.4 does not advise SISD
requirements in this situation.
As the road frontage speed is estimated at 30km/hr achievement of Performance Criteria P1
needs to be demonstrated. Reference is made to AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 Parking facilities – Part
1: Off-street car parking. This standard caters for 40km/hr and higher road frontage speeds
and domestic property access requirements in Part 3.2.4 of the standard. Sight distance is
calculated from where the drivers eye line is 2.5m setback from the edge of the road.
For a frontage road speed of 40km/hr:
• absolute minimum sight distance is 30m
• general minimum sight distance is 35m
• desirable sight distance is 55m
This standard however does not provide advice where road frontage speeds are less than
40km/h. Accordingly, from first principals, for a reaction time of 2.0 secs, stopping sight
distance (SSD), which is an absolute minimum sight distance, is 23m in a 30km/h speed
environment. The available sight distance is 24m to the left i.e junction with Georges Square.
Sight distance to the right varies between 25 and 100m depending on the extent of on street
parking. Other existing accesses in the area have similar sight distances due to the proximity
of the Spencer Street / Georges Square junction.
Performance criteria P1: The design, layout and location if an access, junction or rail level
crossing must provide adequate sight distances to ensure the safe movement of vehicles,
having regard to:
(a) The nature and frequency of the traffic generated by the use
(b) The frequency of use of the road or rail network
(c) Any alternative access
(d) The need for the access, junction or level crossing
(e) Any traffic impact assessment
(f) Any measures to improve or maintain sight distance; and
(g) Any written advice received from the road or rail authority
Accordingly, it is considered that Performance Criteria P1 is satisfied.

The proposal assumes that because the existing short and medium term on-street
parking is enough to cater for the existing food services business (120m²) i.e. the corner
store, it will be enough for the proposed food services business (118m²) i.e. the café.
There is evidence that this assumption is valid and performance criteria P1.1, 1.2 and
1.3 are satisfied.
P1.1
Carparking spaces for other than residential use is provided in the form of the following on-
street parking spaces:
• 2* 30% utilised 5minute duration spaces at the shop front
• 5* 24% utilised 1/4P i.e. 15minute duration spaces opposite the shop
• 23*33% utilised 3P Area Permit spaces within 80m of the shop.
• 7* 26% utilised 3P i.e. 3hour duration spaces within 60m of the shop
• 3* unutilised unrestricted spaces within 80m of the shop
This amounts to 5 short term spaces available within 20m and 24 medium-term and long-term
parking spaces available within a reasonable walking distance of 80m i.e a total of 29
available spaces.
The short and long-term parking spaces provide for a range of customer time demands.
Public transport is within reasonable walking distance of the site i.e. 80m.
There are no site constraints due to existing buildings, surface slopes, drainage, vegetation or
landscaping.
The on-street spaces are within a safe low speed environment for pedestrians and are easily
accessible.
From parking demand survey data there is evidence of unutilised capacity:
• Short term parking spaces- 30% utilised
• 3P spaces 26% utilised within 60m of the shop
•
Long term parking spaces – 82 % utilised within 80m of the shop and 64% utilised
80-120m from the shop
There would be minimal effect on the streetscape. The St Georges Square streetscape is
dominated by the park immediately adjacent. Within 80m of the shop there are 54 parking
spaces and on average 29 are available. This traffic impact assessment report supports the
proposed utilisation of existing on street parking on traffic grounds.
Performance Criteria P1.3:

The number of car parking spaces complies with any relevant parking precinct plan.
P1.3 is satisfied as there is no relevant parking precinct plan.

7. Recommendations and Conclusions

This traffic impact assessment has been prepared to support a development application for the
proposed ground floor café and first floor 1-bedroom dwelling at 6 St Georges Square, East
Launceston. The assessment has reviewed the existing road conditions, crash history, traffic
activity, pedestrian activity and parking utilisation.
No traffic safety issues were apparent and the five -year crash history reports no recorded
crashes on St Georges Square or Spencer Street.
The traffic on St Georges Square is currently in the order of 300 vehicles per day and not
projected to increase with the proposed café and dwelling. There are no traffic capacity issues
with the proposal due to the very low levels of traffic involved at less than 3% of capacity.
From review of the on-street parking supply and demand survey it is apparent that there is
spare short, medium and long-term parking capacity within 80m and 120m of the proposed
site i.e 29 of 54 spaces are available on average within 80m and 17 of 38 spaces available
within 80-120m. The replacement of the corner store shop with a café is not expected to
result in a lack in available on street parking. Parking provisions required include:
• 2 off street bicycle parking spaces
• An accessible on street car parking space outside the café

Justification is provided to demonstrate that the proposal satisfies Road and Railway Assets
Code E4 and Parking and Sustainable Transport Code E6 requirements of the Launceston
Interim Planning Scheme 2015.
Recommendations from review of the proposal are as follows:
Recommendation #1- Installation of 2 off-street bicycle parking spaces
Recommendation #2 - Retrofit of a kerb ramp outside the café on St George Street to create
an on street accessible bay. One existing 5minute parking space to be converted to an
accessible car parking space with R5-10 parking signage.
Observation - Installation of pedestrian warning signage on St Georges Square for south and
north bound traffic ~ 30m from the proposed café shop front could be considered.
Overall, it has been concluded that the proposed development will not create any traffic issues
and traffic will continue to operate safely and efficiently along St Georges Square and
Spencer Street. Based on the findings of this report and subject to the recommendations
above, the proposed development is supported on traffic grounds.

MAIN REPORT
Noise Issues
St Georges Square, Launceston
Dear Ms Verze
We conducted noise measurements on 13./8/2017 at 4 locations within the site and the results are
contained in appendix A.
This is the main report, supported by data presented in accompanying Appendix A.
Noise annoyance depends on the following factors:

the ambient noise level
the new noise level
whether the noise has tonal components
whether the noise has impulsive components
the low frequency content
the time of the day or night the noise occurs
how often it occurs and its degree of predictability
whether the noise is regretfully caused, mindlessly created or inflicted as an act of aggression
Noise measurements were conducted, under suitable weather conditions, that is, no rain and light
or no wind.
Community complaints about traffic noise start to increase when L10 (18 h) = 63 dB(A). When
L10 (18 h) = 63 dB(A) then 10 % of the community are highly annoyed.
L10 is the noise level exceeded for 10 % of the sampling time. For example (see 2nd column, page
A 9 of the appendix) , L10 = 58.4 dB(A) means that for 1 minutes out of the 10 minute sample, the
noise level was 58.4 dB(A) or higher. L10 gives the approximate average of the higher noise levels
encountered. It is often used as a metric in traffic noise studies.
Pearu Terts - main report page 1

L10 (18h) means that such sampling is conducted for 18 hours between 6 am and midnight and the
result averaged over 18 hours.
Leq is the A weighted equivalent noise level. A fluctuating noise having Leq = 56.7 dB(A) has the
same acoustic energy as a steady noise of 56.7 dB(A). Leq is usually 2 to 3 dB(A) less than L10.
L90 is the metric used to measure the background or base noise level. For example (see page A 9,
the first column), L90 = 47.5 dB(A) This means that for 90 % of the sampling time of 10 minutes,
that is, 9 minutes, the noise level was 47.5 dB(A) or more.

RESULTS
The main measurement results are presented in Appendix A. See page A 3 and pages A 7 and A 8
for the measurement locations.
1. At location 2, we measured am Leq = 49.5 dB(A) and a background noise level of L90 =
43.0 dB(A). At other locations the noise levels were higher.
2. Normal speech level at 1 m is 58 dB(A). Assume conversation is carried out at normal

speech level at one of the tables located in the outdoor areas.
3. Assume the talker is seated at the table and her/his mouth is 1.1 m from the ground and 1.9
m from the boundary fence. Assume that the existing 1.8 m fence has been replaced by a 2.1 m
acoustic fence which is absorptive (due to the 800 mm garden plantings) in the direction of the
talker and the court yard. Assume that there is a listener (1.5 m tall) on the neighbours side, 1.6 m
from the boundary fence.
4. The average spectral content of male/female speech at normal voice level is below (line 1)
1/1 octave band centre frequency (Hz)

125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 8000

S..p.l at (1.9+1.6) m -11. -11. -11. -11. -11. -11 -11. (20 log 3.5 = 11)
s.p.l at 3.5 m 27 37 45 40 35 35 28 = 47.3 dB(A)
Fresnel number 0.24 0.47 0.95 1.9 3.8 7.6 15.2 (Maekawas barrier
design method)
Barrier atten. dB 9.5 11 13 15.6 18.5 22 24
s.p.l behind barrier 17.5 26 32 24.4 16.5 13 4 = 33.8 dB(A)
barrier attenuation = 47.3 – 33.8 = 13.5 dB(A)
5. Using Maekawas method (based on path differences and Fresnel numbers) we calculate the
attenuation provided by the 2.1 m absorptive noise barrier fence. This is included in par. 4, line 9
and 10 above.
6. If instead of one talker we have 3 talkers (one per table) talking simultaneously, then the
sound pressure level (s.p.l) would increase by 10 log 3= 4.8 dB(A). The s.p.l at the façade of the
neighbours house would be 33.8 + 4.8 = 38.6 dB(A). To this we add +2.5 dB(A), the façade effect

3
because the sound travels past the microphone near the façade and reflects off the façade back into
the microphone increasing the measured sound pressure level by 2.5 dB(A) to give 41.1 dB(A).
7 Raised voice is regarded as being =7 dB(A) louder than normal voice. If the voices were
raised then the s.p.l at the façade would be 41.1 + 7 = 48.1 dB(A).
8 The L.C.C. criteria for night time noise from the restaurant is L90 + 5 dB(A) Our
measurements indicated L90 = 43 dB (A)
Hence the L.C.C criteria which is not to be exceeded is 43 + 5 = 48 dB(A). The proposed hours of
operation of the restaurant extend to 6 pm.
9. We can assume that with 3 tables fully occupied in the outdoor area and with 4 patrons per
table, only one or two people per table are likely to be talking at the same time. Hence we assume
2 x 3 = 6 people talking simultaneously, as the worst case. Assuming that they are polite people,
we can expect perhaps no more than 6 people talking simultaneously in the outdoor area, possibly
even less.
10 The ambient noise level at location 2, the outdoor eating area, was 49.5 dB(A). This is a
level close to the calculated level of speech from the outdoor area and is likely to assist in masking
the patron’s speech noise.

RECOMMENDATIONS: document on its website the Council grants website users a non-exclusive licence to
1. It is recommended that a 2.1 m noise barrier fence be erected at the rear of the outdoor area
and continued for the length of the outdoor eating area.. As we are dealing with ‘speech
frequencies’ the fence material need not be thick.
You may wish to consider the “SlimWall Classic by Modular Walls (Tel 02 9540 6666, E-mail:
info@modularwalls.com.au). This has a Rw rating of 28 dB and is an easy to erect acoustic fence.
Mr Dexter Bertoldo (63324100) from the JAC group has used the acoustic fence at the Spring
Farm subdivision in Kingston.
2. Human voice levels may vary by 20 dB and loud vocal expressions may have to be
managed. We have based our calculations on ‘normal’ to ‘raised’ voice levels. However, very loud
vocalizations are unlikely from the intended clientele
3. I note that you have taken our advice regarding possible noise complaints and have
relocated the heat pumps from the outdoor eating area (adjacent to the neighbour) to the Spencer
Street side. This has acoustic benefits
CONCLUSIONS:
With the relocation of the heat pumps and the erection of a 2.1 m acoustic fence, noise complaints
are unlikely. The area is not tranquil and may not meet the acoustic environment indicator levels
(Table 1) of the Tasmanian ‘Environment Protection Policy (Noise) 2009 even when the restaurant
is closed. The document it says that moderate annoyance can occur when the outdoor living area is

4
exposed to noise level of Leq = 50 dB(A).We measured a noise level of Leq = 49.5 dB(A)at about
3 pm.
