We developed a draft plan aimed at introducing a safer road environment whilst continuing to promote commuting traffic onto higher order roads while also keeping vehicle speeds low.

The draft concept plan shows the proposed works across three locations, which included:

• Location 1: Gulfview Drive and Scenic Court intersection - removing the single-lane 'driveway link'. This will provide enough room for opposing vehicles to pass each other when entering or exiting the intersection. A traffic calming device is not necessary at this location because vehicles are required to slow down to negotiate the intersection.

• Location 2: north of Belvedere Court - modification of the existing traffic calming device by shortening the length of the single-lane 'driveway link'. This reduces the zone of conflict, and ensures that minimum sight distance requirements will be met for opposing vehicles. To keep vehicle speeds low, a flat-top speed hump will be incorporated into the single-lane slow point. The design is based on limiting the need for excavation, as removing the full device to provide two-way flow would likely require the removal of several nearby mature trees.

• Location 3: between Corella Avenue and Malvern Court - Installation of a new traffic calming device. This is proposed to be another short, single-lane slow point which also incorporates a flat-top speed hump, to be consistent with the proposed device to the north. The installation of this device will necessitate the loss of approximately four on-street parking spaces.

The locations and types of devices were carefully chosen to limit the loss of on-street parking.

Consultation on the draft concept plan was undertaken between December 2023 and January 2024.
