1.0 INTRODUCTION
HDS Australia has been engaged by Frankston City Council to undertake a Local Area Traffic
Management (LATM) study for Fairway Precinct. The intent of the study is to consider local
traffic issues raised by residents and Council, and to develop a strategic document that
addresses the concerns and issues identified during the study process.
1.1 Study Area
The study area is bounded by Frankston Freeway to the north and east, Beach Street to the
south and Dandenong Road East to the west. The extent of the study area is generally shown
in Figure 1.
Access to this precinct is from various roads off Beach Street and Dandenong Road East.
There is an exit road out of the precinct to the north onto Skye Road that provides access to the
Frankston Freeway and Frankston Dandenong Road. The precinct is primarily residential with a
small shopping strip along Beach Street from Lewis Street to Finlay Street, and two Medical
Clinics from Finlay Street to Stanley Street. The precinct contains approximately 1,600
properties.
Chisholm TAFE is located at the south east corner of Fletcher Road / Beach Street which is just
outside of the study area. Frankston Railway Station is located at the south west corner of
Fletcher Road / Beach Street. Bus services operate within the area on Dandenong Road East,
Beach St, Orwil Street, Cricklewood Avenue, and Stanley Street.

2.0 STUDY METHODOLOGY
The objective of this study is to prepare a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) plan for the
Fairway Precinct, which addresses the main traffic issues in the area.
This has been achieved through a process of extensive community consultation undertaken by
HDS Australia, including:
 A letterbox drop questionnaire survey to all properties in the study area;

 A mailed questionnaire survey to absentee landlords;
 Use of an online survey (via survey monkey) which was promoted in the local paper and
Council website;
 A public meeting to discuss the project and obtain input and seek representatives for a
Resident Traffic Committee;
 Meetings with the Resident Traffic Committee to oversee the study; and
 Letterbox drop to properties with draft proposals from the study.
The adopted study process consisted of the following components:
 Familiarisation with the study area;

 Data collection and collation;
 Consultation;
 Development of proposals; and
 Reporting.
2.1 Community Consultation
A successful LATM study requires an appropriate level of consultation with the local community,
as without which, any traffic management scheme is unlikely to gain community acceptance and
may not address community concerns. In addition, consultation with the community plays a
major role in the identification of key issues and is often a useful source of local knowledge.
On this principle, it follows that in undertaking area wide LATM studies, the views of all
residents living or working within the whole study area or precinct should be sought.
The study process is briefly described below.
 Initial Community Circular - A community circular was distributed to all properties in the
study area at early stage of the study, requesting residents to complete a questionnaire
survey on traffic problems in their street and the local area. The survey also sought
nominations for individuals to act as community volunteers in the Resident Traffic
Committee (RTC) Group;
 Public Meeting - A public meeting was held on Tuesday 13 November 2018 to outline
the study process, provide community with the opportunity to discuss local traffic issues
and to take nominations for community volunteers to form a RTC Group;
 Selection of RTC Group – The two residents attending the meeting volunteered to be on
the RTC Group;
 RTC Group Meetings – Two committee meetings were held with the first at Mechanics
Hall, 1A Plowman Place, Frankston and the second at Frankston City Council municipal
office. These meetings were attended by the RTC members, Council officers and
members of HDS Australia;
 RTC Group Meeting 1 (13 November 2018) – As only two residents attended
the public meeting and they volunteered to be members of RTC group, the first
meeting was held in conjunction with the public consultation meeting. RTC
members discussed the key community issues and safety concerns. The
feedback assisted HDS Australia in identifying the main traffic issues for the
area;

 RTC Group Meeting 2 (12 February 2019) – HDS Australia prepared

information detailing appropriate traffic management options developed for the
area. The process focused on developing cost-effective options which would
address the concerns of the community and any specific safety issues identified
by the engineering investigations;
 Second Community Circular – A community circular which detailed the components of
the proposed LATM devices, was distributed to all properties in the study area in late
February 2019 for comment. The document was also sent to other stakeholders such
as emergency services (Fire, Ambulance and Police) and public transport providers for
feedback.

3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The following sections provide a summary of available data used to establish the existing traffic
and land use conditions within the study area. The data included an assessment of road crash
information and the results of traffic volume and speed surveys undertaken by Council over
recent years. The existing conditions data provided the basis for identifying and quantifying,
where possible, traffic problems in the study area and prioritising areas or locations for
treatment.
3.1 Land Use
The area comprises approximately 1,600 residential properties. Additional land uses in the area
include:
 Skye Road – Commercial 1 Zone (B1Z);

 Fairway Street / Orwil Street shops - Commercial 1 Zone (B1Z);
 Beach Street near Fletcher Road - Commercial 1 Zone (B1Z);
 Beach Street shops - Commercial 1 Zone (B1Z);
 Peninsula Health, Spray Street near Anderson Street – Public Use Zone – Health and
Community (PUZ3);
 Orwil Street Reserve – Public Use Zone – Local Government; and
 Community Support Frankston, Lewis Street / Beach Street – Public Use Zone – Local
Government.
A land use plan for the study area based on the land use zoning map from the Frankston
Planning Maps is provided in Figure 2 below.
Figure 2: Land Use

3.2 Public Transport Routes
Public transport within the Fairway Precinct is provided via a number of bus services. The
locations of these routes are shown in Figure 3.
The presence of a bus route in a street has implications to the type of traffic management which
can be installed. Any traffic management proposal on a bus route requires the approval of
Public Transport Victoria and the local bus company.
The following bus services operate in the local area:
 Route 770 (Frankston to Karingal via Ashleigh Avenue); and

 Route 833 (Frankston Station via Carrum Downs).
Route 770 Route 833
Figure 3: Public Transport Routes
3.3 Existing LATM Devices
Existing traffic management has been implemented in the local area by Council and VicRoads
as a result of previous traffic management investigations. Treatments have generally been
installed at isolated sites or on a street by street basis.
Key traffic management treatments in the area include:
Traffic signals are provided at the following locations:

 Frankston - Dandenong Road / Frankston Freeway;
 Overton Road / Skye Road / Dandenong Road East;
 Fletcher Road / Beach Street; and
 Beach Street / Frankston Freeway.

A roundabout is located in the following location:

 Queen Street / Beach Street / Joy Street.
A road hump is located in the following street:

 Fairway Street at front of Fairway Reserve.
A single lane slow point is located in the following location:

 Fairway Street at front of Fairway Reserve.
Painted median / traffic islands are located in the following streets:

 Beach Street;
 Skye Road;
 Dandenong Road East; and
 Fletcher Road.
Parking lanes are located in the following streets:

 Dandenong Road East; and
 Beach Street.
A pedestrian crossing is located in the following street:

 Farrell Street.

Figure 4 presents the existing LATM devices throughout the study area.

3.4 Traffic Data Information
Frankston City Council has undertaken traffic volume and speed surveys in the study area for
the LATM study.
th th
Traffic speed information is provided in terms of the 85 percentile speed. The 85 percentile
speed is defined as the speed at or below which 85% of vehicles surveyed are travelling. That
is, a further 15% of vehicles are travelling at a speed greater than the 85th percentile speed.
th
The 85 percentile provides a weighted mean which more represents the typical vehicle speeds
being experienced.

Figure 5 provides a summary of the available traffic data information throughout the study area.

3.5 Crash History Information
An assessment of the crash history for the study area was undertaken by analysing crash data
for the most recent five year period (January 2013 – December 2018) sourced from VicRoads
crash database. The data contains all reported (to the police) casualty crashes, which include
the categories of ‘Fatal’, ‘Serious Injury’ and ‘Other Injury’ crashes. Non-injury or property-
damage only crashes are not included in this database. Similarly, near misses which may have
been experienced by residents will not be recorded. This information was to be obtained from
anecdotal information through surveys and meetings with residents.
The categories of crash severity are defined as follows:
 Fatal: one or more persons are killed in the crash, or die within 30 days from injuries
sustained in the crash;
 Serious Injury: one or more persons are admitted to hospital as a result of injuries
sustained in the crash; and
 Other Injury: one or more persons are given medical treatment for injuries sustained in
the crash.
In the five years period between January 2013 and December 2018, a total of 14 casualty
crashes were reported in the study area, including 3 serious injury crashes.

Figure 6 provides a highlight of the location and detail of the crashes.

4.0 TRAFFIC ISSUES REPORTED BY RESIDENTS
The following summarises traffic issues reported by residents during the community
consultation phase.
4.1 Community Circular
A circular distributed to all households within the study area on 19 October 2018 included a
questionnaire survey on amenity and traffic issues. It also sought their input through seeking
nominations on the Resident Traffic Committee. The questionnaire survey sought community
views on:
 Traffic speed & volume;

 Heavy vehicles;
 Pedestrian & bicycle facilities;
 Irresponsible driving; and
 Other safety concerns.
The survey sought community suggestions to overcome these traffic problems.
The survey also sought to identify if any of the above problems occurred at a particular time of
day.
The local community were asked to identify the worst traffic problems in the whole study area
and comment on possible solutions. The local community were also asked to consider problems
they encounter when walking, cycling and parking as well as driving.
Section 4.1.1 provides a summary overview of the information obtained from the questionnaire
survey responses. This information provided a basis for identifying the main traffic problems
perceived by the local community.
A copy of the community questionnaire is provided in Appendix A.
4.1.1 Survey Response
Questionnaire surveys were delivered to all properties in the area in October 2018. The official
reply deadline for the survey was 26 November 2018. A total of 112 responses were received,
representing a response rate of 7%. The typical rate for a self-completion questionnaire around
metropolitan Melbourne is usually in the order of 5-10%.
Statistics of the survey results revealed the following:
 Traffic speed:
 56% of respondents stated that speeding is a major traffic issue on their streets;
and
 53% of respondents stated that speed issues occurred all times during a day.
 Traffic volume:
 44% of respondents stated that traffic volume is a major issue on their streets;
and
 36%, 29% and 28% of respondents stated that high volumes of traffic on their
streets occurred all the time, day time and peak time respectively.
 67% of respondents stated that there is no issue with heavy vehicles on their streets;
 76% of respondents stated that there is no issue with pedestrian facilities;

 70% of respondents stated that there is no issue with bicycle facilities;

 Irresponsible driving:
 58% of respondents stated that there is a major irresponsible driving issue in
the area; and
 43% of respondents stated that the irresponsible driving occurred all times
during the day.
 35% of respondents stated that parking restrictions are a major issue in the area;
 45% of respondents have a problem with finding available on-street parking;
 44% of respondents stated that better parking enforcement need to be in place;
 Respondents feel that the traffic speed within the area is relatively high and quite a
number of responses refer to Orwil Street, Petrie Street, Finlay Street, Stanley Street,
Queen Street and Beach Street;
 Respondents raised concerns with TAFE and train commuter parking overflow to local
streets;
 Respondents raised concerns about the development standards for new infill
developments pushing more cars into local streets;
 Respondents raised concerns about vehicles parking too close to their driveways making
it more difficult to exit their properties;
 Respondents raised concerns about too much traffic using local roads especially relating
to the Orwil Street – Petrie Street rat-run route;
 Respondents expressed difficulty about exiting in to Beach Street from side roads; and
 Respondents reported hooning issues within the precinct.
4.2 Public Meeting
A public meeting was held at Mechanics Hall, 1A Plowman Place Frankston, on Tuesday 13
November 2018. Residents and other interested parties were invited to attend via the circular,
as outlined above.
The purpose of the public meeting was to outline the traffic study process, provide residents
with the opportunity to discuss any local traffic issues and take nomination from community
volunteers to form the Resident Traffic Committee group.
The public meeting was attended by 2 members of the local community, 3 Council officers, 2
members of HDS Australia team and a representative from Victoria Police.
The local traffic issues identified at the public meeting are summarised below.
 Parking issues at the southern area of the precinct especially near Beach Street;
 Difficult drive on some roads due to parking on both sides of road;
 Speeding issues on some roads;
 Egress on Beach Street is difficult; and
 Rat running along Skye Road – Orwil Street – Petrie Street corridor.
4.3 Resident Traffic Committee
The role of community volunteers in the Resident Traffic Committee was to provide details of
local traffic issues and provide feedback on the Local Area Traffic Management proposals.
Copies of the minutes of two RTC meetings are provided in Appendix B.

5.0 PROPOSED LATM ENHANCEMENTS
A proposed Local Area Traffic Management plan was prepared to address the main issues for
Fairway Precinct in consultation with the Resident Traffic Committee and Council officers.
5.1 Identified Issues
Following review of community circular responses, the traffic survey results and site inspections
/ investigations, the following issues were compiled to guide the formation of the proposed
LATM plans.
Speed issue in the following streets:

th
Dandenong Road East (85 percentile speed of 63.7 vs posted speed 60 km/h);

th
Orwil Street (85 percentile speed of 52.4 vs default speed 50 km/h);

th
Petrie Street (85 percentile speed of 51 vs default speed 50 km/h);

th
Stanley Street (85 percentile speed of 54 vs default speed 50 km/h); and

th
Queen Street (85 percentile speed of 51 vs default speed 50 km/h).
Operational issues:
 Parking issue on sides streets near TAFE and Frankston Railway Station;
 Parking on both sides allow single lane flow on local streets;
 Congestion caused by local street parking;
 Drivers’ behaviours.
Pedestrian safety issues:
 Lack of safe crossing point on Beach Street near TAFE.
5.2 Objectives
The objectives of the proposed LATM plan include:
 Improve the safety of local streets by reducing traffic speeds;

 Discourage through-traffic from using the local area, where possible;
 Develop proposals that address traffic concerns raised by the community, while
maintaining adequate levels of accessibility for local residents, local businesses and
emergency services.
5.3 Consideration of Proposed LATM Plan
The Resident Traffic Committee considered a range of traffic management treatments including
the advantages and disadvantages of various treatments, suitable applications and locations.
The proposed LATM plan that was developed for Fairway Precinct is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7: the proposed LATM plan to seek public feedback

The draft proposal endorsed by the RTC was presented to the Fairway Precinct community for
comment via a questionnaire circular.
A detailed discussion of the community’s response to the proposals is outlined in the following
section.
5.4 Proposed Treatments
The following sections outline the individual treatments that were included in the proposed
LATM plan for community consultation.
5.4.1 Orwil Street – Petrie Street Corridor
Significant public feedback was received regarding rat-running along this route. The rat-running
is not only related to the high traffic volume and speed. It also leads to other problems such as
irresponsible traffic behaviour such as reported ‘hoon’ driving and congestion problem related to
parking which was raised by the community throughout the consultation period.
The current network only has a small fully mountable island at Skye Road and no other traffic
management devices are provided along this route. This encourages traffic to use it as a
shortcut from Skye Road to Beach Street.
To reduce the rat-running issue, it is proposed to install several traffic management devices
along the corridor as follows:
 Extend the fully mountable island at Skye Road / Orwil Street bend;
 Installation of raised pavement at intersections – Corlett Street / Orwil Street, Raymond
Avenue / Orwill Street and Erskine Street / Petrie Street;
 Installation of raised pavement near Orwill Street / Tower Avenue bend including Alvina
Court and Petrie Street; and
 Installation of mid-block bus friendly flat top speed hump at No.35A & 36 Orwill Street.
The above treatments are proposed to be installed at 150-250 m intervals. There will be no loss
of on-street parking as a result of the treatments.
5.4.2 Other Streets
The following devices are also proposed on other local streets to prevent the rat-running issue:
 Installation of raised pavement at Tower Avenue / Finlay Street, Tower Avenue /

Stanley Street, Finley Street / Burrow Street and Stanley Street / Burrow Street;
 Installation of raised pavement at Queen Street / Francis Street and Queen Street /
Burrow Street;
 Installation of raised pavement at John Street / McAlister Street;
 Installation of raised pavement at Lewis Street / Erskine Street; and
 Installation of mid-block bus friendly flat top speed hump at No.22 & 21-23 Cricklewood
Avenue.
5.4.3 Dandenong Road East
Currently unrestricted parking bays are provided at the western side of Dandenong Road East
from Erskine Street to south. Two hour parking (2P) and unrestricted parking bays are used on
the eastern side of Dandenong Road East from David Street to south. In addition to these, it is
proposed to formalise unrestricted parking bays along both sides of Dandenong Road East for
the rest of section prior to Corlett Street. The new parking lane not only provides more long

term parking but will also slow down the traffic, as the line marking will provide drivers an
impression of the visual narrowness of the road.
A short channelised right turning lane is proposed on Dandenong Road East northbound at
Corlett Street, to improve the traffic flow. In addition, a mountable splitter island is proposed on
Corlett Street prior to Dandenong Road East which will improve safety for turning vehicles at the
junction.
5.4.4 Beach Street
Significant public feedback was received regarding difficulty to egress out of side streets onto
Beach Street. The traffic management devices proposed on Orwill Street, Petrie Street, Finlay
Street, Stanley Street, Queen Street and McAlister Street will reduce the traffic volume on these
streets. This will provide more opportunities and gaps for vehicles to exit side streets into
Beach Street
Feedback also received was the need of a safe crossing point for pedestrians on Beach Street.
Local businesses are located on the north side and TAFE is at south side of Beach Street. It
was observed that the pedestrian desire line on Beach Street is between Petrie Street and
Finlay Street. Therefore a pedestrian crossing facility is proposed at the location.
It is also proposed to reduce the posted speed on Beach Street from 60 to 50 km/h. This is
warranted because of the high volume of pedestrians crossing Beach Street.
A semi-mountable splitter island will be installed on McAlister Street prior to Beach Street to
improve safety for turning vehicles at the junction.
5.4.5 Parking Issue
Large number of residents raised parking as a serious issue in the study area. The cause of the
parking issues are:
 TAFE students and railway patrons park their vehicle on side streets;
 Parking on both sides of narrow streets cause congestion and bad driver behaviour;
and
 Dual occupancy/residential property redevelopment within the area with limited off
street parking creating more on street parking demand.
Council has proposed to undertake a precinct wide parking study once the TAFE
redevelopment is completed.

6.0 COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON DRAFT PROPOSED LATM PLAN
A community circular detailing the Proposed LATM plan for the Fairway Precinct was delivered
to all household within the study area in late February 2019. Community comments on the
proposed LATM plan were accepted until 8 April 2019.
The circular included a plan detailing the Proposed LATM plan and some images of typical
treatments. The circular sought the community’s opinions on whether they support the
individual proposed treatments. The circular response was achieved via a simple questionnaire
survey which converted into a reply paid envelope to encourage responses. Residents also had
the opportunity to provide their feedback via the Council website.
The community were asked to indicate their support, or otherwise, for each component of the
proposed LATM plan. They were also invited to make comments to support their opinions.
A copy of the circular is provided in Appendix C of this report.
6.1 Review of Individual Responses
The consultation process started on 21 February 2019 and it closed 8 April 2019. Over this
period, a total of 142 responses were received from interested parties in Fairway Precinct.
The circular asked respondents to indicate which devices or treatments they did or did not
support. A summary of the support for each treatment is shown below in Table 1. The
recommendations provided in the table were developed with input from the Frankston City
Council.

6.4 Additional Recommended LATM Treatments
Based on the review of public feedback and further investigations undertaken by HDS Australia,
the following additions to the proposed LATM plan are recommended:
6.4.1 Additional - Dandenong Road East
 Proposed to install traffic islands with pedestrian refuge area plus pram ramps to assist
pedestrians to cross the road near Cricklewood Avenue;
 Extend footpath / shared path on western side of Dandenong Road East from
Cricklewood Avenue to Beach Street;
 Raised threshold treatment at Petrie Street / Beach Street.
6.4.2 Amendment – Finlay Street / Burrow Street
 Change the raised intersection from originally on three legs to only two legs as Burrow
Street is an unsealed road.
The final proposed LATM plan that was developed for Fairway Precinct is shown in Figure 8.

7.0 DRAFT FUNDING & IMPLEMENTATION
7.1 Cost Estimate and Staging Plan
Table 3 below outlines the indicative component cost and recommended staging of the LATM
plan for the Fairway Precinct.
The estimated costs are indicative only, and have been arrived at to assist in devising an
implementation plan. The installation costs of traffic management can vary considerably and
largely depend on the extent and design of devices. The main components which influence
construction costs are the materials used, need for kerb reconstruction, impact on existing
drainage, and impact to underground services, possible relocation of power poles, and degree
and type of landscaping.
In the case of these works, while staging of the scheme is generally necessary due to funding
constraints, the staging of works needs careful consideration to minimise the interim impact of
treatments on untreated streets.

7.2 Monitoring and Assessment of the LATM
It is anticipated that the recommended LATM plan will adequately address the main traffic
concerns identified in the Fairway Precinct.
Following implementation of the traffic management treatments, it is recommended that a

monitoring program be introduced to assess the performance of the plan. This would involve a
series of traffic speed and volume surveys in treated and untreated streets, where previous

surveys have been undertaken. In addition, road crashes and traffic complaints from residents
should be monitored.
The monitoring program will enable the performance of the plan to be assessed and indicate
whether the implementation of additional traffic management is warranted.

8.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The objective of this study was to prepare a Local Area Traffic Management plan for the
Fairway Precinct in Frankston, which addresses the main traffic issues in the area and reflects
the requirements and expectations of the local community.
The LATM study for the Fairway Precinct has involved extensive consultation with the local
community to identify local traffic issues, a review of traffic complaints contained in Council files
and engineering investigations undertaken by HDS Australia. Other components of the study
have included the collection of traffic volume and speed information and a review of available
crash data to quantify traffic problems.
The community consultation component of the study has included questionnaire surveys,
circulars and the formation of a Resident Traffic Committee group to assist with this study. The
RTC group comprised volunteers from the local community, Council officers and traffic
engineers from HDS Australia. The RTC group provided input into the various stages of the
study.
Information gathered through the above sources was used to identify the key traffic issues and
provided the basis for formulating traffic management recommendations for the Fairway
Precinct.
The key traffic issues identified in the study area generally related to traffic problems in many
local streets such as traffic speed and through-traffic volumes.
A Local Area Traffic Management plan was developed in consultation with Council Officers and
the RTC group. A copy of the proposed plan was distributed to the local community and
emergency services for public comment in February 2019. The survey responses indicated a
high level of support for the proposed LATM plan.
A detailed review of each device was undertaken to assess the overall support from the whole
study area. Following this review, items have been added and amended from the proposed
LATM plan. A recommended LATM plan has been developed which outlines the final
recommended treatments for the local area.
On the basis of the comprehensive local area traffic management study undertaken by HDS
Australia for the Fairway Precinct and community feedback on the proposed LATM plan, the
following recommendations are made to Frankston City Council:
 Council consider adopting the Recommended LATM plan for the Fairway Precinct, as
detailed in Section 7.1 of this report;
 That as part of the detailed design and implementation, Council consult with property
owners abutting the device locations to determine the exact locations and design of
devices;
 Council investigate / monitor the additional traffic issues raised by the local community
identified in Section 6.3 of this report as funding becomes available; and
 Council implement and monitor the LATM plan as outlined in Section 7.1 of this report.
