Traffic and Access

Traffic

A construction traffic management plan has been developed by our traffic consultant to advise the best way to manage our works and minimise impacts to the local residents. This plan is in line with City of Port Phillip Council guidelines.

Trucks will enter and exit the site using Queens Road and Queens Lane. Queens Lane offers direct access to Leopold Street, located approximately 300 metres north of the site, connecting seamlessly to the arterial road network of Queens Road. This configuration eliminates the need for trucks to navigate through local streets to reach the site, except for the brief stretch of Queens Lane and Leopold Street.

Access

Throughout construction, trucks will enter and exit the site via Queens Lane and Queens Road.

Parking Spaces

To enable safe and efficient construction vehicle access to and from site, parking spaces on Queens Lane and a single parking space on Louise Street will be occupied and marked Construction Zones during approved work hours:

- Monday to Friday: 7:00am–6:00pm
- Saturday: 9:00am to 5:00pm

Seven of the parking spaces that will be modified currently exist on Queens Lane as Loading Zones.

There is only one paid parking space on Louise Street that will be removed and marked as a No Stopping.

Please see parking spaces on map below marked in pink.

Establishment of Loading Zones

A Loading Zone on Queens Lane will be established over the footpath and partially occupying the roadway in line with the north and south boundaries of the site. The Construction Traffic Management Strategy ensures a minimum lane clearance of 3 metres allowing the uninterrupted flow of vehicles through Queens Lane. Pedestrians will be detoured to walk on the opposing sidewalk during the hours of operation, whereby appropriate detour signage will be in place to assist.

Another Loading Zone will be located to the west, within the site boundary, near Queens Road. This Loading Zone will not occupy Queens Road highway and will be implemented to reduce construction traffic congestion on Queens Lane.

To utilise this Loading Zone safely, temporary crossovers will be constructed facilitating truck access and egress to site from Queens Road (refer to map below). Controls will be established to ensure pedestrian access is safely maintained as construction vehicles enter and exit the site via temporary crossovers.

Safety During Construction

Mirvac understands that managing safety and access during construction for the community is of paramount importance. The following measures will be in place to mitigate construction site hazards at The Albertine:

• Traffic controllers will supervise vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist movements as required.
• Mirvac will maintain access for any emergency or evacuation.
• All gates will be securely locked and monitored outside work hours.
• Clear signage will define the entry and exit gates during construction.
