Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Outline
• Introduction• Brief and study context• Consultation• Transport and Access• Civic Place Master Plan
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Brief and Study Context
• Strategic planning for Umina Beach Village adopted by Council through the Peninsula Urban Directions Study will change the nature of the village centre into the long term.
• Transport study needs to be able to respond to and support this change.
• Masterplan study will allow Council to ensure quality design for buildings, landscaping and streetscapes.
• Library is in need of renewal.
• Greater community focus on active street life.
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Consultation – what we have heard
• Agencies• Preference for two-way traffic flow system (i.e. West Street)
• Consider development bonuses for possible pedestrian links
• Encourage more bicycle use
• Consider potential weekend library hours
• Address issues with development/construction staging: need to develop interim car parking plan
• Road safety considerations
• Increased use of motorised scooters need consideration
• Need for traffic calming
• Changing demographics provides opportunities for higher active transport use
• Develop “ownership” within community: develop facilities that support community activities
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Consultation – what we have heard
• Business community• Improvements needed but cannot diminish supply of
public parking• Reservations about competition with existing business
from additional retail, cafes etc.• General support for civic square • New civic square will need to be directly linked to West
Street. • West Street should still have traffic flows.• Better management of traffic at peak times
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Consultation – what we have heard
• General community • No loss of public parking• Concerns about “sale” of public assets by Council . • Better links from centre to the beach• West Street should continue to have street life• Better pedestrian amenity at crossings• Mixed views about desirability of civic square• Concerns about antisocial behaviour in new civic square• If square is to be created it should be larger and support a wide range of events i.e.
markets, concerts, movies etc. • Support for improved library facilities • A number of traffic and pedestrian blackspots identified • Support for taking through traffic off West St • Public transport within the village is OK • better amenities at stations and destination points to continue to support use of
public transport and cycling

Transport and Access
• TMAP Overview and Objectives• Key findings and issues• Preliminary transport improvement options
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
TMAP Overview and Objectives
• Overview• Assessment of transport impacts to identify a package of
measures• Consideration of full transport impacts, not just traffic• Measures to include infrastructure and service
improvements as well as policy considerations.
• Objectives• Identify future transport and access requirements for
Village Centre• Integrate master plan of proposed Civic Place
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Key Transport Findings – Road Network
Semi-grid with well-defined hierarchyKey north-south demand and network patterns within PeninsulaLimited east-west connectivity (West Street and Bourke Road)
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Key Transport Findings – Traffic
Peak West Street flows in order of 400-500 vehicles per hourTraffic growth in peninsula will likely bring increased conflicts on West Street:
West Street is key E-W linkWest Street is also main centre streetDevelopments on both sides will bring increased pedestrian crossing volumes
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Key Transport Findings – Parking
Community places great importance on parking availabilityExisting Council carpark considered “heart” of village centrePeak parking utilisation surveyed is about 90% of capacityPeak average parking duration surveyed is between 1 to 2 hours
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Key Transport Findings – Public Transport
Existing bus network and services considered goodDraft Central Coast Transport Strategy identifies strategic bus corridor on Ocean Beach Road
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Key Transport Findings – Walking and Cycling
Significant active transport opportunity with Peninsula’s flat topographySignificant bicycle usage has been documented for Woy Woy station (NSW Bike Plan)Opportunities for linking Village Centre with the beach and beach activities / surf clubsExisting cycle route on Trafalgar Avenue provides external links to north, but does not continue further south to the beachPotential pedestrian safety issues in the future with increased traffic on West StreetExisting cycle route issues on West Street (discontinuous: cyclists need to dismount)
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Preliminary Traffic Measures
Preference for two-way system of traffic flows in line with overall planning and urban design objectives – one way systems create potential issues with connectivity, safety and urban designWellington Street as alternative vehicle access/bypassWest Street could be designated as High Pedestrian Activity Area with 40 km/h speed limitScenario modelling undertaken to date used background traffic growth rate to 50% of current levels, with up to 50% of West St through traffic diverting to Wellington St.Required intersection improvements to cater to future traffic with diversion:
West St / Ocean Beach Rd – RoundaboutWest St / Trafalgar Ave – Roundabout with reconfigured pedestrian access and crossingWellington St / Trafalgar Ave – Convert to roundaboutWellington St / Ocean Beach Rd – Convert to signals with turn lanes; impacts on westbound right turn from Ocean Beach Rd (may require closure).

Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Preliminary Parking Measures
General consensus to maintain existing Council carparking supplyIntegrate parking provision with Civic Place Master Plan, including rearranged on-street parking along Alfred St and Bullion St.Consider West St bicycle route in on-street parking arrangements.Reconfigure Wellington St to allow more unrestricted on-street parking.Investigate impacts of reduced parking ratio requirements for future village centre developments (e.g. visitor parking for residential uses).
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Parking
Fomalise kerbside parking on Wellington St
Integrate Council carpark and Alfred St/ Bullion St kerbside spaces with Civic Place Master Plan
Consider bicycle route and 40 km/hr zone proposals in reorganising kerbside spaces
Maintain existing restrictions
Install parking information signage

Preliminary Public Transport Measures
Maintain existing bus network and frequenciesConsider bus stop consolidationImprove wayfinding
Umina Beach Village TMAP and Civic Place Master Plan
Preliminary Pedestrian Measures
Provide additional/upgraded crossings on Ocean Beach Road (Osborne Ave and Nowack Ave/Wellington St.)Integrate Trafalgar Ave pedestrian crossing with intersection upgradeProvide Wellington St pedestrian refuges (Alfred St, Bullion St)Improve pedestrian links with the beach and surf clubs, via Ocean Beach Rd Trafalgar Ave.Potential supplementary beach link via South StImprove footpaths along Alfred St, Bullion St between West St and Wellington StImprove Civic Place – West St pedestrian link (expand existing walkway)Integrate possible pedestrian links within lot amalgamations for increased permeabilityImprove east-west pedestrian links:
Links to Civic Place (between Ocean Beach Road and Wellington Street)Pedestrian crossings on south side of West St (Berith St, South St)
