Our Services
Comprehensive Traffic Impact Assessments (TIA)
A Traffic Impact Assessment is a crucial requirement for many childcare centre developments. Our detailed TIAs evaluate the potential effects of your development on the surrounding road network, ensuring safe and efficient traffic flow. We analyse key factors such as:
- Vehicle access and parking requirements (including justification for reduced parking requirements)
- On-street and off-street public parking availability
- Pick-up and drop-off zone functionality
- Pedestrian and cyclist safety
- Public transport accessibility
- Traffic generation and peak hour impacts
Parking and Access Design
Proper parking and site access are essential for childcare centres. We provide expert advice on:
- On-site parking layout and compliance with Development Control Plans (DCPs), Planning Schemes and Australian Standards
- Safe and efficient entry and exit points
- Internal circulation to minimise congestion and queuing
- Drop-off areas
- Pedestrian access and safety treatments
Traffic Modelling and Analysis
Using traffic modelling tools, we assess how your development will interact with the existing road network. Our data-driven approach ensures accurate forecasting of:
- Traffic volumes and movements
- Intersection and site access performance
- Mitigation strategies to address potential issues
A thorough analysis of traffic impacts will reduce the chance of objections from nearby residents and business owners.
Council and Stakeholder Liaison
We work closely with local councils, state road authorities, and other key stakeholders to ensure your Traffic Impact Assessment addresses all planning and regulatory requirements. In some cases we will provide justification for any supportable departures from the relevant requirements where a better outcome may be achieved in other areas.
Our proactive approach helps facilitate a smoother approval process.
