Western Sydney Parklands Hubs

Western Sydney Parklands Trust

Ason Group was commissioned to examine potential locations for a new Community Hub within the Western Sydney Parklands at Hoxton Park. The Hub provides for a High School, medical centre, a Retirements & Aged Care Facility and new sporting and recreational facilities.

Consideration of the significant changes to local conditions further to development across the Austral & North Leppington Precincts was crucial, and particularly changed conditions along Fifteenth Avenue for Hub Site 1, and Bringelly Road for Hub Site 2.

Our work included

Preliminary advice in relation to the broader road network changes, local public and active transport opportunities and potential upgrades to maximise accessibility to each Hub site.
First principles assessment of trip generation and distribution to the future road network, with a focus on localising vehicle trips (to the extent possible) and maximising public and active transport trips.
Investigations of the additional public and active transport links required to maximise accessibility, and potential design changes to local roads and key intersections within the Austral & Leppington North Precinct.
Identifying potential impacts associated not only with the relatively high traffic generation of each Hub, but potential rat-runs further to the connection of a Hub into the local road network.
Development of appropriate criteria by which to compare the merits of each Hub site, including a holistic overview with the Project Team of not only transport but broader environmental factors.
Ultimately, the ability to provide a firm recommendation in regard to the preferred Hub site.
