Since late 2019, Traffix Pty Ltd has played a pivotal role in shaping the functionality and accessibility of the Newgreens Precinct. As a mixed-use site with a diverse set of transport needs, including residential, hospitality, and golf club component, the project demanded tailored, high-performing traffic and transport solutions.

“Our scope was comprehensive,” says Ben Liddell, Director at Traffix. “From the initial Traffic Impact Assessment to
post-approval construction planning, we worked closely with Parkview and Willoughby City Council every step of the way.”

The team addressed key challenges early—particularly the steep grade difference between Beaconsfield Road and the precinct’s Level 3 top level. “We had to provide safe, compliant access for everything from passenger vehicles to fire trucks and ambulances. It required extensive modelling and precision design to meet the Australian Standards for both grade and width,” Ben explains.

One unique obstacle was accommodating waste collection within the basement. “Typical garbage trucks just wouldn’t fit. Our solution involved mini waste trucks and redesigning the basement ramping to suit them,” says Ben.

Traffix also integrated sustainability into their strategy, recommending 48 bicycle parking spaces, dedicated bike lanes, and safe pedestrian links to bus stops and surrounding infrastructure. A private minibus service was also planned to assist resident mobility.

Collaboration was key to success. “We had over five years of ongoing coordination with architects, engineers, and the builder. From design reviews to swept path analyses, we ensured our traffic planning matched the project’s overall vision,” notes Ben.

Even during the challenges of 2020’s remote working conditions, Traffix remained committed. “Online meetings were new to us all, but we adapted quickly to keep progress moving.”
