DCP parking rates vary across NSW, with some areas having very conservative requirements.

To support efficient development in the Shell Cove area, Amber prepared a detailed report to review the onerous visitor parking requirements that applied. The review included benchmarking the rate of 1 visitor space to every 2 resident units against other Council rates and reviewing against available Census data for similar coastal locations across the eastern seaboard.

Amber assisted in the development of a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan for the Donald Mineral Sands project, an open pit mining operation in rural Victoria with a project life in the order of 50 years.

The TMP involved consultation and engagement with a broad range of external stakeholders and documentation of actions to manage and mitigate heavy vehicle impacts of the mine over the coming decades.

Amber has recently completed a Traffic Impact Assessment for the 500MW Middlebrook Solar Farm, which is one of the largest solar farms in the country. The project involved extensive consultation with the relevant road authorities in order to gain prior approval for the proposed access arrangements of the site. Amber prepared concept designs for intersection upgrades and conducted a review of the traffic impacts of the proposal on the surrounding road network. This continues are extensive involvement in the renewable energy sector.

The Dubbo Firming Power Station is a dual fuel 64MW power plant and up to 20MW hydrogen electrolysis plant. Amber prepared a Traffic Impact Assessment report respond to SEARs and support the projects development the TIA focused on ensuring safe access to the site by identifying and avoiding existing road safety issues.

Amber prepared a Traffic Impact Assessment and Event Traffic Management Plan for the Beyond the Valley music festival. The multi-day festival is held annually in Hesse, Victoria, over the New Year period and is expected to attract 35,000 patrons with the majority accommodated within the camping areas provided on-site. Our team liaised with Council and Department of Transport to ensure the impacts of the project generated during the bump-in and out, and festival operation, are minimised. We prepare functional layout plans for proposed road upgrades and swept path assessments for key intersections. We are experienced consultants that regularly work on similar Traffic Management Plans on a wide range of projects to ensure the road network continues to operate in a safe and efficient manner.

The Winterbourne Wind Farm is one of Australia’s largest wind farm projects in NSW. Amber was engaged as the traffic engineering consultants for the project to assess the access route for large plant and prepare a Traffic Impact Assessment. Key tasks included; engaging with the road authorities, traffic analysis, intersection and pavement design, and a road safety assessment. Wind farm projects provide challenging engineering problems due to the significant increase in traffic during construction and the delivery of the 80+ metre long turbine blades from the chosen delivery port. We are proud to be involved in another renewable energy project.
