Introduction

The criteria used in this assessment were developed following a review of the Administrative Criteria for the urban Metro/Peel regions by a Working Group with representation from Main Roads, WALGA and Local Government in 2018. Following this, the Rural Administrative Criteria Review was developed in consultation with the existing Regional Road Groups. The current criteria is designed to reflect the Main Roads Act 1930 in a modern light considering the current traffic environment and transport network requirements.

The route consisting of [Name of Road / Route] between [Road / location] and [Road / location] has been submitted for administrative reclassification due to [reason and background].

[Insert any details of a previous assessment and the findings].

Surrounding Area

[Name of Road / Route] forms a [directional route] servicing [location]. The [road /route] is classified as a [Primary Distributor / Regional Distributor / other] under the Road Network Hierarchy.

[Background of location, projected population /employment growth, strategic or regional significance.

Assessment requested by: [Local Government / Future Roads Project, specify other].

Classification Assessment

The criteria aim to deliver transparent and streamlined processes and procedures for the administrative road classification assessment, to determine whether a road should come under the care and control of State or Local Government.

The criteria will take into account both the requirements of the Main Roads Act 1930 as well as considering the functional requirements of the State Road Network.

The assessment criteria within this report have been aligned to the Western Australian Road Hierarchy. Roads that are administered by the State are Primary Distributors (PD) and are further categorised, when necessary, within the assessment as:

National Land Transport Network (NLTN) - federally identified and funded routes

Highways – as identified under Section 13(2) of the Main Roads Act 1930.

Main Roads – as identified under Section 13(3) of the Main Roads Act 1930.

Other categories of roads within the Road Hierarchy are administered by local government in rural areas are:

Regional Distributor

Local Distributor

Access Road

A “Rural Area” for the purpose of classification assessment for road administration is defined as:

Any area depicted outside the Metropolitan Region Scheme / Peel Region Scheme boundaries – that is not shown as a “Built Up Area” as per the latest depiction of the Australian Bureau of Statistics Urban Centres and Localities (Major Urban, Other Urban and Bounded Locality).

Built Up Area (Rural) - any area depicted as being within the latest depiction of the Australian Bureau of Statistics Urban Centres and Localities (Major Urban, Other Urban and Bounded Locality).

Note:- Where a rural route passes through or into an urban area, the policy is to retain its prevailing rural classification. However, should the whole route or the majority of the route (greater than 50%) be within Built Up Area as described above then it will be assessed against the Rural – Built Up Area Criteria as indicated within this document.

Pre-requisite for consideration to assess

Any road/route will only be considered for assessment to become a State Administered Road if it is listed by the relevant Regional Road Group as a Significant Local Government Road.

Note: Assessment requests received from the following areas do not necessarily need to meet the pre-requisite and can go straight to Full Assessment:

Internally from Main Roads

A request from elsewhere within the Portfolio

A request from the HMT or Ministers Office

As a requirements of the Main Roads Act 1930 (Section 13), any road to come under the care and jurisdiction of Main Roads must meet the following criteria:

(2) In considering whether to make any recommendation to the Governor that a road should be declared to be a highway, the Commissioner shall take into account —

(a) the moneys available or likely to be available for highways; and

(b) whether the road is or will be the direct connection between the capital of this and any other State; or

(c) whether the road is or will be the principal route between the capital and the major producing regions of the State; or

(d) whether the road is or will be the principal route between 2 or more of the major producing regions or major centres of population of the State; or

(e) whether the road is or will be the principal route for high volume traffic movements within large urban areas.

(3) In considering whether to make any recommendation to the Governor that a road should be declared to be a main road, the Commissioner shall take into account —

(a) the moneys available or likely to be available for Main Roads; and

(b) whether the road is or will be the main route connecting any large producing area, or any area capable of becoming in the near future a large producing area, with its market or closest railway station; or

(c) whether the road is or will be the main route of intercommunication between 2 or more large producing areas, or areas capable of becoming in the near future large producing areas, or between large centres of population; and

(d) whether the road is or will be a major route for high volume traffic movements within large urban areas.

The following section identifies a modern interpretation of relevant criteria to meet the requirements of the Main Roads Act 1930.

Scoring the Criteria

Strategic Requirements (Maximum of 8 points)

The criteria in this section reflect the current planning and statutory environment as applied to rural areas outside of rural townsites.

CRITERIA (To a Maximum Score of 8)	SCORE	NOTES

Score: [0-8] [Total criteria]

Network Role (Maximum of 8 points)

RAV Network Routes

The movement of goods by heavy vehicles is vital to the economy. Main Roads issues permits for vehicles exceeding 19m in length or 42.5 tonnes gross mass. The permit bases system is called the Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV) Network.B Doubles and articulated vehicles with one trailer are known as “long vehicles”. Vehicles longer than 30m are known as “road trains”.

If the RAV Network category is not constant over the entire length of the assessed route, a distance average shall be used.

Designated road train and long vehicle routes (refer RAV Network) are scored as follows:

RAV Network	Score	Total length of route (km)	Length of each RAV section (km)	Proportion of Route (RAV section / total length) [sum of sections – Total = 1.00]	Score by Proportion of Route (Proportion*Score)
RAV 9/10	3.00
RAV 5/6/7/8	2.00
RAV 2/3/4	1.00
No RAV Network	0.00
AMMS Network	0 to 0.3
Total	[Total length]	[Total length]	1.00	[Total score: 0.00 – 3.30]

Table 3 RAV Network Criteria

If the route under assessment is part of the Accredited Mass Management Scheme (AMMS), the following additional points are allocated:

AMMS Level 1 - additional 0.1; Level 2 - additional 0.2; Level 3 - additional 0.3

[Please provide comment].

Score: [0 – 3.3]

Network Role - Connectivity

Maintaining network connectivity is a key part of the expanding State road network. To this end, connecting existing State roads is given higher priority compared to connecting existing State roads with lower order roads.

Category	Score
PD – PD	3.00
PD – RD	2.00
PD – LD/RD-RD/RD-LD	1.00
OTHERWISE	0.00

Table 4 Network Connectivity

[Please provide comment].

Score: [1 – 3]

Network Role - Property and Intersecting Road Access

Property access gives a strong indication as to the nature of the traffic flow on the route under assessment. More access points interrupt the flow of traffic as vehicles enter and exit. This leads to a reduction in traffic through-flow.

The three categories recorded are:

Limited Access(2) < 1 point per 10 kms (2 points)

Limited Access(1) >=1 and <10 access points per 10 kms (1 points)

Unlimited Access >=10 access points per 10 kms (0)

The total number of access points (which include property access and intersecting roads) are counted and divided by the length of the route to give the average per kilometre over the length of the route as follows:

Intersecting roads. If 4 way intersection still only give score as one. DO NOT include any “Z” roads.

Access to apparently occupied residence or business only. If there are a number of ins and outs to the residence or business just score as one point for all accesses to the one residence/business.

DO NOT include access to forest or dirt tracks, paddocks (gated or not), fire breaks, quarry pits, etc. as these are generally hardly used.

Any town site only score one point IN TOTAL for all points within the townsite boundary otherwise this will give an inaccurate influence on the rural sections of the road.

If unsure then it is likely that there would be minimal use of the access you are trying to determine, so DO NOT score it.

**Note: for this process it is necessary to view the route using aerial imagery, such as Skyview, Google Earth or similar, or by visual inspection in a car.

The following rules are used when scoring for Non-BUA areas:

Type of access	Score	Total length (km)	No. of access points	Access points / 10 kilometre (number / total length of route in km*10)	Score
Limited(2) <1 per 10km	2
Limited(1) >=1 and < 10 per 10km	1
Unlimited >=10 per 10km	0
Total	[Total length]	[Total Score]

Table 5 Network Access Non-BUA

The following criteria are used for those roads being mainly (>50%) within the BUA of a Major or Key Town:

Category	Score	Length (km)	No. of access points	Access points / kilometre (number / total length of route in km)	Score
Limited Access (2) Sum of intersections and commercial access points <=4/km AND No. of residential driveways <1/km	2
Limited Access (1) Sum of intersections and commercial access points < 6/km AND No. of residential access points <3/km	1
Unlimited Access All else	0	[Total Score]

Design Function Criteria

2.2.3.1 Design Function - Route Capacity

Roads of a higher classification tend to have higher capacities. Capacity has been related to the number of trafficable lanes.

No of traffic lanes	Score	Total length of route (km)	Length of section (km)	Proportion of route (Section / Total length)	Score by Proportion of Route (length of section / total length) * score
4 Lane Divided	5.00
4 Lane Undivided	4.00
2 Lane 7m wide or greater	3.00
2 Lane >5m<7m wide	2.00
2 Lane up to 5m wide	1.00
Unsealed	0.00
Total	[Total]	[=Total]	1.00	[Total score] [0 – 3]

NOTE – For 3 lanes (i.e passing lanes) add 0.5 points to the appropriate 2 Lane score. Only for a significant length of 3 lanes.

[Please provide comment].

Score: [1.00 – 5.00]

Design Function – Road Classification

Road Hierarchy systems are used around the world to indicate the operating function of a road within a road network. Lower order roads act as feeder and collector roads, typically collecting neighbourhood and suburban traffic. Higher order roads tend to act as through roads, collecting and feeding traffic from lower order roads and facilitating high speed high volume traffic movements.

Higher order Local Government roads are given priority over lower order Local Government roads and this is reflected in the scoring below.

Road Hierarchy	Score	Total Length (km)	Section length (km)	Proportion of total (Section / total)	Score by Proportion of Route
Regional Distributor	3.00
Local Distributor	2.00
Access Road Special Use (Indigenous or Industrial)	1.00

Note: Traffic Scores must be reflective of their nature and one traffic count may not be an true indicator of traffic volumes for the full route. Where this appears likely, further traffic counts should be sought.

The table below should be used to more accurately reflect vehicles on the roads within Western Australia for adjusting the AADT/AAWT count.

Austroad Class	Max Length in W.A.	Passenger Car Unit
2 to 5	14.5m	2.0

Score: [0.00 – 5.00]

Traffic Volumes - Heavy vehicle numbers

The more important routes used by commercial vehicle operators are reflected by heavy vehicle numbers.

A “heavy vehicle” is defined as a vehicle over 4.5 tonnes gross mass. The traffic counting system adopted by MRWA uses an Austroads classification system with Class 3 vehicles (2 axle truck or bus equal to or over 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass) and above having been adopted as a “heavy vehicle” for the purpose of this criterion score.

Number of Heavy Vehicles	Score	Total Length (km)	Section length (km)	Proportion of total (Section / total)	Score by Proportion of Route
> 300 vpd	3.00
> 150 vpd - <=300 vpd	2.00

Road Network Function and Service Area

Main Roads – Roads with Similar Function and Service Area

The intention behind the State road network as outlined in Section 13 of the Main Roads Act 1930 is to connect people to people, regions to regions and freight sources to intermodal or transport hubs. With this in mind, it is important to note whether the route under assessment performs a similar function within a similar area already serviced by a State road. Roads which service the same area as an existing State road will be subject to examination in greater detail and on that basis, the recommendation may be made to not transfer jurisdiction.

Proximity of another suitable Local Government road

It should be determined that if another Local Government road may perform the State network function in the vicinity, then a determination should be made as to which road should be given consideration for assessment to become a State Administered road.

[Please provide comment].

Proximity of an existing State road already performing the network function

A check should also be done to determine if an existing State road performs the network function. If so, then the road under consideration should remain a Local Government road. Unless it can be determined that different functions are performed that still meet the requirements for a road to become State Administered, then a road should not run in parallel to an existing road.

Please provide comment].

Appropriate Land Tenure

Land tenure needs to be checked to determine that proclamation is legally made. Usually the land should be a declared road reserve over crown land.

Please provide comment].

Other Considerations

The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of any other considerations which need to be taken into account as part of the assessment of this route.

Strategic and Regional Development Factors

This sub-section contains description, analysis and assessment of the road against strategic and regional development assessment factors. Examples include: regional tourist attractions, strategic resource areas or areas of strategic defence/national security importance.

Locations of Strategic Significance include airports (high passenger or freight movements) OR public or commercial port (high freight of passenger movements) OR major intermodal freight facility OR other locations as identified by the road classification assessment as being of major or State significance. ** Please refer to Appendix 3 p 17-18

Main Roads - Programmed Major Road Projects

** to be completed by Main Roads Western Australia**

Main Roads has a vested interest in the development and evolution of the State Road Network. This is influenced by numerous factors over the political and economic landscape. As a by-product, Main Roads Planning and Technical Services may have projects in development which need to be taken into account.

TOWNS

The Western Australian Local Government Grants Commission applies the following definition to a regional centre:

A town site with a relatively large population within its region, providing most essential State and local government services. Consisting of a large diverse employment base and acting as a transport hub for major road networks to connect surrounding settlements to services that are beyond the boundary of the local government.

The population requirements for determining a Major or Key Town are as follows.

A Major Town is a defined area with a population of 10,000 or greater.

A Key Town is a defined area with a population of 2,500 or greater.

The table below can be used as a guide in determining connecting strategic role scores.
