The selected developer shall provide and install temporary and permanent signage (conforming with the latest Railway Signage Manual and Australian Standards) in all public areas to direct customers towards the facilties and services, entrances and exits of the station, platforms, modal interchange, tram stops, taxi ranks etc. A signage scheme will be prepared by the selected developer and presented to the Railways Strata Controller during the detailed design stage. s The Railways Strata Controller will retain the right to erect additional signs anywhere in the development after commissioning of the development at a cost to be negotiated at the time of detailed design. The Developer shall be asked to consent to such signage and consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 19 Noticeboards Provision shall be made in the development design for noticeboards, of a size to be advised by the Railways Strata Controller, to be located in accordance with current standards. The boards are to display a range of customer information and will be supplied by the PTC for installation by the selected developer at the Developer's cost, except when otherwise agreed, 1.10 Passenger Information Display Provision shall be made for displaying public transport information on platforms, in the booking lobby, around the modal interchange, adjacent to station entrances and in the main concourse areas where they can be readily seen by customers. Some of this information will be provided by electronic equipment supplied, installed, operated and maintained by the Railways Strata Controller, Other information will display train, tram and bus timetables on posters, bill boards etc. 44 Interchange to Trams (Light Rail) Where applicable, suitable access to existing tram or light rail services from the development site shall be maintained at all times. If the proposed development requires any relocation of existing Safely Zones or variation to any tram stops then the selected developer shall consult with the Railways Strata Controller to determine the needs of tram customers. Any such modifications shall form part of the development and be executed at no cost to the PTC. 1.12 Traffic Management in Vicinity of Tram Tracks Carpark or bus interchange entry/exit points for the proposed development should be located and designed to minimise conflict with any tram and/or light rail operations. a Tay Te PaPUBLIC TRANSPORT CORPORATION | ENG-AD-STD-0001 INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISION VERSION 2.0 GENERAL CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT AT RAILWAY LOCATIONS PART A - RAILWAY OPERATIONS (cont'd) To avoid the disruption and delays to tram services which can occur when right turing vehicles cross tram tracks, it is preferable that vehicle entrance/exit points to the development are designed with a left turn inlleft turn out arrangement. For large scale developments with large capacity carparks, it may be more appropriate to signalise the vehicle entrylexit point and provide suitable traffic signal phasing to adequately cater for peak parking tuming movements. 4.13 Access to Bus Services (If applicable) Suitable access to existing bus services shall be maintained at all times. 444 ‘Temporary Modal Interchange If the proposed development requires any temporary facilities for modal interchange during construction then the selected developer shall consult with the RaiWways Strata Controller to determine the needs of bus customers. The cost of a temporary interchange including additional travel if applicable shall be bome by the selected developer. 4.45 Traffic Management to and from Road Network Designs for vehicular and pedestrian access to and from the site to the adjacent road network shall be in accordance with the responsible road and planning authorities’ requirements and shall be at the selected developer's expense. Unless otherwise approved access shall be provided at two or more locations in order to adequately provide for all required directional movements. Where separate access points are provided for buses, then exit from the bus terminal into the road system shall be located to the right of the other access points. The width of the access roadway and the kerb retums shall be such that buses and trucks can tum out of or into the full width of the kerb-side traffic lane. Road speed restriction humps shall not be constructed on bus roadways where access is required for the passage of buses. Pavement design must be upgraded if sub-standard to suit these requirements, throughout the area used by the buses. Regulatory, information, waming and advisory signs and pavement markings shall be in accordance with the responsible authorities’ requirements. Pavement markings of an advisory nature for BUSES ONLY or passenger walkways shall be painted in yellow colour to prevent confusion with regulatory requirements. Depending on the nature of the development and the road network surrounding it, buses may have difficulty in gaining access to and departing from the development. In such instances where extensive delays may result, it may be appropriate to signalise the entry/exit point and provide a priority movemnent to permit buses to safely and efficiently enter and exit the development. The Railways Strata Controller shall determine such facilities and all work shall be at the selected developer's expense.

The developer may also require an overhead permit. An overhead permit is issued when the Railways Strata Controller arranges to isolate and earth the overhead power supply.

If the Absolute Occupation restricts railways services then substitute services eg. buses may need to be provided, the costs of which shall be bome by the Developer. ‘At the end of the period for which the Absolute Occupation is issued and the track is safe for traffic, the railway supervisor will retum the Absolute Occupation certificate to Train Operations and the overhead permit will be cancelled. 3.3 Construction Programme The Developer shall discuss the proposed construction programme with the Railways ‘Strata Controller to develop and obtain mutual agreement on proposed dates, areas and power off arrangements for the occupations.
