3.9.2.3 Urban and Physical Context
An integrated interchange can only be developed on completion of a thorough site
analysis. Critical aspects of this analysis include the research and review of:
• Land form
• Land use 500m radius (4 –5 minute walk)
• Land use 1 km radius (10 – 12 minute walk)
• Existing and future surrounding urban development including residential population,
employment opportunities, retail and commercial facilities within the local
community
• Adjacent land ownership
• Identification of future development opportunities
• Existing and proposed road network operation
• Street alignments
• Existing transport circulation routes including operational issues of each transport
mode – overall route lengths and times, speed and manoeuvre restrictions
• Bicycle routes servicing the area.
