TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT STUDY

KCTT’s experience with both the traffic and civil engineering provides us with a significant advantage over most our competitors – the integrated nature of our knowledge means that we inherently understand the infrastructure requirements due to traffic impacts and vice versa.

Our broad range and wealth of experience means that KCTT is a strong partner for a wide range of studies custom tailored to suit a particular requirement of a client. Our ethos is heavily drawn towards projects that require lateral thinking and teamwork. We are committed to the acceptance of change and to the iteration of design ideas as new concepts evolve. This means we are strong in all phases of a project’s development, from the statutory planning, through to feasibility, through to implementation. We are aware of rapid evolution in spheres of technology and urban environment, we recognize changes ahead, respond to them and embrace the new ideas that flow.

project_ Riseley Street Activity Centre, Ardross

client_ TPG / City of Melville

KCTT have provided traffic engineering and transport planning input in to Master Plan for reconfiguration of Riseley Street Activity Centre. This included road reserve remodelling, transport modelling, urban design guidelines and preliminary look into parking strategies.

In March 2015 City of Melville endorsed a Riseley Street Activity Centre Structure Plan that is to be used as an overarching guiding document in the process of the Centre Redevelopment. KCTT prepared the Master Plan document as a supplementary document that will guide redevelopment of the Riseley Street Activity Centre alongside the Structure Plan document.

Important components of this project are:

• Streetscapes - as they provide a physical frame for the communication of the intended urban design.

Streetscapes shape and stimulate the mental images generated of a place for all users and the shape the way users, (pedestrians, cyclists and motorists) interact with the space.

• Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) - as they provide the dual benefit of improved streetscape aesthetics with improved water quality and use of finite resources such as water.

Project_ Cycle Plan Implementation Program 2016-2021

Client_ City of Perth

KCTT have been commissioned by the City of Perth to conduct an assessment for possible cycling routes throughout Nedlands and Crawley.

The subject location includes University of Western Australia, the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre, Royal Perth Yacht Club and 1,348 residential properties. The land use pattern within the study area comprises of a traditional residential urban form with additional land uses such as a hospital and the University.

Most streets in the subject area of Crawley and Nedlands have relatively low traffic volumes given the adjoining land uses. The exceptions are Mounts Bay Road and Winthrop Avenue. KCTT have undertaken a saddle survey of selected routes in order to better understand the area and provide insight and commentary about the possibility of improvement. The analysis of the surveyed routes and the cost benefit analysis of the proposed improvements have been considered to derive an action plan focusing on short term improvement (quick wins), however taking into account medium and long term improvements.

Project_ Town of Port Hedland Heavy Vehicle Access Strategy

Client_ Town of Port Hedland

KCTT were engaged by the Town of Port Hedland to update the heavy vehicle access strategy and concurrently prepare input for the local planning scheme to implement the revised strategy. The purpose of this document is to develop a heavy vehicle access strategy that will serve the Town of Port Hedland as the Town continues to grow and enhance its reputation as one of the key infrastructure hubs in Australia.

The document examines in detail the existing road network and highlights existing deficiencies in the network, in terms of accessibility with heavy vehicles and outlines areas where there are current safety and planning risks in the network and where there are issues with the sizing of infrastructure that limits access / egress by various heavy vehicle configurations. The future road network planning is also examined and the HVAS provides a gap analysis against any of the previously nominated deficiencies, offering priorities for construction of road infrastructure upgrades, new sections of road, road train assembly areas which strategically improve the performance and functionality of the network, requirements for Over Size Over Mass and RAV Network vehicles and reviewing each industrial area and its specific requirements within the Town of Port Hedland to present a holistic argument for the future infrastructure development within the Town. A thorough framework for the design, approvals and implementation phases associated with the suggested works scopes is collated in this document, offering guidance on the compliance documentation, the regulatory authority requirements of such major infrastructure works programs and clear descriptors on the future roles and responsibilities of each of the stakeholders in the process. Finally, a series of further recommended actions provides a concise summary of works that will provide benefit to the Town in the implementation of this Strategy.

Project_Local Planning Policy 6.7 - Vehicular Access and Parking - Performance Monitoring and Review

Client_ City of Stirling

The City of Stirling engaged KCTT to firstly monitor the performance of revised Local Planning Policy 6.7 – Vehicular Access and Parking (LPP6.7-VAP) in Local and Neighborhood Centres, and secondly to conduct a more detailed study on existing parking requirements. KCTT monitored parking use in 67 Local and Neighborhood Centres across the City from 2018 to 2021. In 2021, KCTT conducted in depth studies of four Neighborhood Centres and eleven key land uses. The findings of the combined studies informed amendment of LPP 6.7 – VAP which was endorsed by the Council mid-2022.

Project_ Stadium, Burswood Traffic Demand and Parking Study, New Perth

Client_ West Australian Football Commission

KCTT have been engaged by West Australian Football Commission to provide an independent review of Stadium Taskforce’s findings regarding traffic demand management and requirements for parking.

The review included a detailed survey of preferred transport modes of patrons at Patersons (Domain) Stadium as well as comparison of the proposed stadium to other stadia around Australia.

For this particular exercise we have chosen following stadia:- • ANZ Stadium in Sydney; • Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane; • Metricon Stadium in Gold Coast; • Etihad Stadium in Melbourne; • Melbourne Cricket Ground.

A detailed comparative analysis was conducted for all listed stadia in terms of location in relation to CBD, surrounding road network and public transportation options, seating capacity and parking provided on the stadium and parking options in walking distance from each respective stadium.

Further to this, KCTT have undertaken a brief desktop research of Perth Railway Network in order to estimate the potential for upgrade and enhancement public transportation as a mode share in alll trips undertaken to and from the proposed Perth Stadium.
