REPORT At the October meeting, Cr Rayner moved a motion without notice regarding the possible purchase of land adjacent to the south side of Clarksons Road, Naracoorte - CT6009/907 which had recently come on the market. The committee resolved;

“It is recommended Council explore the potential purchase of land identified as CT6009/907 on the Riddoch Highway/ Clarkson Road intersection for future development purposes.”

By purchasing all or part of the land it would provide additional land for a potential heavy vehicle bypass and a number of development options that could be explored by Council. A report was provided to the Strategic Planning and Development Committee and at the October Council meeting the following recommendation lapsed for want of a mover and seconder, with Cr Schultz suggesting more work needed to be done before it was considered by Council.

“That Council explores the potential purchase of land identified as CT6009/907 on the Riddoch Highway/ Clarkson Road intersection for future development purposes.”

Council’s 2035 Structure Plan identifies Clarksons Road as a potential bypass option and is also included in the Development Plan as a concept plan. A bypass for the Naracoorte township is not supported in the short-term within the plan, but a confirmed route would allow further planning to be undertaken, and to avoid conflicts with residential areas in the future. The purpose of this report is to provide further background information including a brief analysis of potential bypass routes proposed by elected members.


Proposed bypass overview

Clarksons Road/Riddoch Highway – turning lanes have previously been constructed to the grain handling facility on the western side of the Riddoch Highway. The intersection is on a high point with good visibility in either direction.


Clarksons Road – a local rural road servicing the rural living zone. Intersected

by Jim Kelly Road and Cedar Avenue reducing the option to significantly lower the road to reduce noise for dwellings in this area. Eastern end unmade and across low lying area. Sand could be cut from hills and placed on low land.

Clarksons Road/Old Caves Road intersection – Old Caves Road currently being investigated as a possible tourism route. Would be in conflict with bypass if both proceeded.


Old Caves/Caves Road/Pinkerton Road to Wimmera Highway – passes

through residential area.

Clarksons Road becomes Pistol Club Road east of Old Caves Road.


Blackwell Road/ Seymour Road/Carters Road – exits at Naracoorte Regional Livestock Exchange, but has several corners and travels close to dwellings.


Haynes Edwards Road – rural living and intersects Langkoop Road at tight angle to heavy vehicles turning right.

As shown, there is no obvious route for a bypass if the intersection is created off Riddoch Highway onto Clarksons Road. The purchase of the land without a full assessment to define the route is a speculative investment by Council. The land is likely to appreciate in value and if rezoned to rural living, would substantially appreciate in value. If Clarksons Road, or possibly a route through this land was determined as the Naracoorte bypass, it is unlikely it would develop as a rural living area. It is considered good practice that any proposed substantial expansion of Council’s asset base is referred to the Audit Committee for comment. DISCUSSION Councillors deliberated the validity of the proposed bypass along Clarksons Road and the purchase of CT6009/907 Cr Robinson - explained that ideally a bypass should avoid connecting to Haynes-Edwards Road and Blackwell Road due to the sweeping bends located along each section. Land north of the intersection of Haynes-Edwards and Pistol Club Road could be purchased and a direct route to Carters Road be developed. Cr Rayner - explained that by purchasing CT6009/907 it would allow for the improvement of the Clarksons Road-Riddoch Highway Intersection and potentially allow for the land to be rezoned from primary production to industrial, allowing for further developments/subdivisions if a bypass is completed. Cr McGuire - suggested that concept plans be developed for a potential bypass and consultation done with the community and DPTI before any land purchase was


instigated as Council currently has a large land portfolio, any further purchases may be unsustainable. Cr Rayner - proposed that the purchase of CT6009/907 should be funded through the sale of existing blocks of Council owned land.

MOVED CR RAYNER SECONDED CR SCHULTZ That the possible purchase of CT6009/907 adjacent to Clarksons Road, Naracoorte, for the future development of a heavy vehicle bypass, is referred to the Audit Committee for comment prior to consideration by Council. CARRIED

Environmental Implication: Safer route for cyclists and horse riders



REPORT Council received a letter from G.L. Davis and the attached petition requesting Council consider a possible reduction of the speed limit on Repeater Station and Wild Dog Valley Road to 80 km/h. At its August meeting, Council resolved;

“That community consultation is undertaken to reduce the speed limit on the entire length of Repeater Station Road to 80kph under Council’s Public Consultation and Engagement Policy.” -32/16

Community consultation was undertaken via;

Latest news on the website from 2 October to 14 November

Advertised in Naracoorte Herald – 8 and 15 October

Facebook on 6 October – 141 people reached, 1 like, 0 comments

Seventeen (17) written responses were received with the majority in favour of an 80km/h speed limit, with some advocating for a 60 km/h speed limit, especially for the section east of Wild Dog Valley Road to Mahoneys Road. One respondent was


against the idea, stating that the speed limit should remain at 110km/h. The default state speed limit is 100km/h which is the current legal limit for Repeater Station Road. Council officers liaised with Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure staff, who advised they would not approve a speed limit reduction as their policy on unsealed roads does not allow for a speed limit sign to be installed unless it was 50km/h in a built up area. They provided the following information: The current policy is that unsealed roads should generally not be speed zoned. The rationale not to speed zone unsealed roads is:

A focus for road users to drive to the prevailing road conditions which can vary,

Concerns that installing a speed limit sign on unsealed roads may create a less safe situation with some drivers driving to the speed limit indicated on the signs as they do for sealed roads, regardless of the surface condition,

Drivers sometimes regard the number on a speed limit signs as a target, rather than a maximum and the sign may confirm to some that this speed is achievable. Such things are not as practicable or safe on unsealed roads as they are on sealed roads.

Consistency with Australian Standard (AS) 1742.4 “Speed Controls”. AS 1742.4—2008 2.1.2 General principles The following principles shall be observed when determining speed limits: (d) Speed limits other than the default urban or default rural limit shall not be applied to unsealed roads. An exception to this requirement shall be the application of speed limits less than 50 km/h to roads that are not traffic routes. DPTI has released a new Operational Instruction for Maximum 80kh/h Advisory Sign on Unsealed Roads. The ‘Gravel Roads – Maximum 80 km/h’ (W1-SA101) warning sign reinforces the message that motorists must ‘drive to conditions’ on unsealed roads.

This sign provides the key message to drive to road conditions and to a maximum of 80km/h. This is an advisory sign and does not alter the speed limit, but provides a positive message to improve road safety. It is recommended these signs are installed on Repeater Station Road. A separate report discusses the wider use of these signs in rural areas.

REFER TO ATTACHMENTS 5.2


- Community Consultation feedback

DISCUSSION - All Councillors agreed that lowering of speed limits along Repeater Station Road, and the installation of warning signs was of a benefit to residents of the area, and hoped to improve safety of pedestrians and motorists alike.

MOVED CR MCGUIRE SECONDED CR ROBINSON That the Community Consultation feedback relating to reducing the speed limit on the entire length of Repeater Station Road to 80kph is noted. CARRIED

MOVED CR MCLEAN SECONDED CR SCHULTZ That it is recommended that ‘Gravel Roads – Maximum 80 km/h’ warning signs are installed on Repeater Station Road. CARRIED

Rural Living Speed Limits

File Reference:

91/43



Strategic Outcome:

Liveable Neighbourhoods – A safe and integrated transport network


Cost of signs to be determined


Policy Implication:


Safer rural living areas

Environmental Implication:


REPORT In South Australia, speed limits are determined by the State Government through the Department of Transport, Planning and Infrastructure (DPTI). Speed limits on unsealed roads are determined in accordance with the requirements of Australian Standard AS 1742.4 MUTCD: Speed controls. For unsealed roads this standard states:


“Speed limits other than the default urban or default rural limit shall not be applied to unsealed roads.”

The Australian Road Rules sets a default speed limit of 100 km/h on all roads outside a built-up area. As with all speed limits, this is the maximum speed at which drivers are legally permitted to travel. Drivers need to be mindful of the road conditions and adjust their speed accordingly, particularly on rural unsealed roads. In accordance with the DPTI Operational Instruction, Council may install the following sign, with ‘Maximum 80 km/h – drive to the road conditions’, on roads where it determines it is required.

Naracoorte has large rural living areas to the north and south of the township. Only Gunning Road and Banksia Lane have 50 km/h speed limits, with the speed limit of other roads at the state default limit of 100 km/h. Council has received many requests in the past to reduce speed limits, but has not had the capacity to do so. Although the above signs are advisory signs only, they provide an important message to drive to road conditions, and that the maximum safe speed is 80km/h. It is recommended that the rural living areas including Carthys Road, Cedar Avenue (extension), Clarksons Road, Hampton Road, Haynes-Edwards Road, Higgs Road, Jim Kelly Road, Lorimer Road, Mahoneys Road, Martins Road, MacMillan Road, Mount MacIntosh Road, Rotary Avenue, Valley View Road, Vanstones Road, Walding Drive, Wilkins Road and Wrights Road are signed with ‘Maximum 80 km/h – drive to the road conditions’ signs. Repeater Station Road is subject to a separate report at this meeting. REFER TO ATTACHMENTS 5.3

- Community Consultation feedback


REFER TO ATTACHMENT 5.3

- DPTI Operational Instruction

DISCUSSION Councillors agreed that due to ongoing property developments in rural living areas that speed advisory signs would be of a benefit to community and ensure that drivers take more responsibility when navigating these roads.

MOVED CR SCHULTZ SECONDED CR MCLEAN It is recommended that;


1. ‘Gravel Roads – Maximum 80 km/h’ warning signs are installed on the following roads in the Naracoorte rural living areas to the north and south of the township: Carthys Road, Cedar Avenue, Clarksons Road, Hampton Road, Haynes-Edwards Road, Higgs Road, Jim Kelly Road, Lorimer Road, Mahoneys Road, Martins Road, MacMillan Road, Mount MacIntosh Road, Rotary Avenue, Valley View Road, Vanstones Road, Walding Drive, Wilkins Road and Wrights Road, and

2. ‘Gravel Roads – Maximum 50 km/h’ warning signs are installed on the Rotary Avenue, Naracoorte.

Langkoop Road Speed Limit Reduction

File Reference:

Steve Bourne Director of Operations

Strategic Outcome:



Replacement of signage, cost of gazettal if change approved


N/A

Policy Implication:



Safer route for cyclists and horse riders

Environmental Implication: Safer route for cyclists and horse riders



REPORT Council received letters from Peta and Mitchell Tidy requesting Council consider a possible extension of the 80km/h speed limit on Langkoop Road to beyond the Haynes Edwards Road intersection. Langkoop Road is classified as a sub arterial road in Council’s road hierarchy. It provides a linkage to Victoria and has a speed limit of 110km/h. The request to extend the 80km/h zone to beyond the Haynes Edwards intersection would make the 80km/h section approximately 1.4km, which is unlikely to result in a significant reduction is speed at the intersection. Langkoop Road is regularly used by cyclists who use this as one of the major routes from Naracoorte, riding to the border and back. The issue of the hill adjacent to Henschke’s quarry has been raised by cyclists direct with Council officers previously. The DPTI Operational Instruction 19.12 Shoulder Sealing on High Speed Rural Roads provides guidance on sealing requirements for road shoulders. The major benefit associated with shoulder sealing is the potential to reduce by up to 40% head-on crashes and run-off road crashes. The provision for cyclists is also dealt with under Clause 4.3. 4.3 Provision for Cyclists


Sealed shoulders provide a significant safety benefit by enabling cyclists to ride outside the traffic lane. A shoulder surfacing treatment must be selected which ensures an acceptable riding surface for cyclists on roads which attract appreciable bicycle usage. Council’s Bike Strategy includes three routes from Naracoorte for consideration for shoulder widening; Cadgee Road, Old Caves Road and Langkoop Road, with the first two rated the highest priorities. Council extended the Cadgee Road width with the support of a grant through Black Spot cycling funding in 2013/14, but was unsuccessful with an application to the same fund to extend this to Naracoorte town boundary this year. Old Caves Road is on Council’s works program for reconstruction and cyclists’ requirements will be considered as part of this work. The Langkoop Road meets the criteria for the Black Spot grant program. It is recommended the most appropriate course of action is to widen the road over the hill, and seek grant funding to assist with the implementation. It is recommended that Council consider this in their 2016/17 budget deliberations.

Neighbour to tree in question

REPORT Council has received a request for the removal of an ash tree on Second Avenue, Naracoorte. As the tree is over 5m in height and in accordance with Council’s tree management policy, the decision to remove the trees rests with Council. An extract of the policy is given below; 3. Tree Removal Council views removal of established, healthy trees as undesirable but recognises it may be required on occasion. Tree removal may be approved subject to the following provisions: 3.1. Except by resolution of Council, no tree over 5m in height will be removed from property under Council's care and control unless it is dead, presents an immediate threat to the public or to property of substantial value, is diseased and treatment is not feasible, or it is a proclaimed pest species. Reports regarding removal of trees over 5m in height will be considered by the Strategic Asset Management Committee. The tree is healthy, but its root system is causing damage to both the property drainage system and Council infrastructure. The tree has been inspected by Council staff and it is recommended that it is removed.


DISCUSSION Although Council does not actively promote the removal of its trees, this tree requires removal due to damage occurring to Councils infrastructure.

MOVED CR MCGUIRE SECONDED CR RAYNER That it is recommended that the Ash Tree on Second Avenue, Naracoorte is removed at Council’s expense due to its root system causing damage to Council infrastructure. CARRIED

Letter from Mr Mark Payne

REPORT Council has received a letter from Mr Mark Payne requesting Council officers remove the flowering tree located on the naturestrip at 9 McCoy Street, Naracoorte. As the tree is over 5m in height and in accordance with Council’s tree management policy, the decision to remove the trees rests with Council. An extract of the policy is given below; 3. Tree Removal Council views removal of established, healthy trees as undesirable but recognises it may be required on occasion. Tree removal may be approved subject to the following provisions: 3.1. Except by resolution of Council, no tree over 5m in height will be removed from property under Council's care and control unless it is dead, presents an immediate threat to the public or to property of substantial value, is diseased and treatment is not feasible, or it is a proclaimed pest species. Reports regarding removal of trees over 5m in height will be considered by the Strategic Asset Management Committee.

The tree is healthy. The letter raises concerns regarding the tree attracting bees and poses a risk to children allergic to bee stings. The tree flowers for a period during which bees will be attracted, but not at all times throughout the year. Although the tree poses a risk to members of the community, it is not considered that it is a threat to the public as per the policy. It is recommended that the tree is retained and Mr Payne is sent a letter advising of Council’s decision.



- Letter from Mark Payne

DISCUSSION - Late notice was received that the application for the removal of the tree at 9 McCoy Street has been withdrawn. The incorrect tree has been identified in the report, and the tree in question was scrub not located on Council Land.

The recommendation was withdrawn as the tree is not located on Council land. MOVED SECONDED That the tree at 9 McCoy Street is retained and a letter is sent to Mr Mark Payne advising him of the decision.

DPTI

REPORT Council has received a request from the Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) for the removal of four Lagunaria pattersonii trees located on Stewart Terrace, adjacent to the south bound lane on the approach and outside curve opposite Naracoorte High School. As the trees are over 5m in height and in accordance with Council’s tree management policy, the decision to remove the trees rests with Council. An extract of the policy is given below; 3. Tree Removal Council views removal of established, healthy trees as undesirable but recognises it may be required on occasion. Tree removal may be approved subject to the following provisions: 3.1. Except by resolution of Council, no tree over 5m in height will be removed from property under Council's care and control unless it is dead, presents an immediate


threat to the public or to property of substantial value, is diseased and treatment is not feasible, or it is a proclaimed pest species. Reports regarding removal of trees over 5m in height will be considered by the Strategic Asset Management Committee. DPTI advises the trees are within the 4.5m clear zone and is seeking Council approval for their removal. As the trees are within close proximity to the road and pose a risk to motorists, it is recommended that approval is given to remove the four trees. DPTI will cover all costs.

DISCUSSION - Councillors debated the validity of removing the trees along Stewart

Terrace.

The recommendation was not put due to the lack of a mover or seconder. MOVED SECONDED That it is recommended that approval is given to the Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) to remove 4 Lagunaria pattersonii trees on Stewart Terrace, Naracoorte at DPTI expense.
