The Shoalhaven Traffic Committee is a technical review committee, not a committee of Council under the Local Government Act 1993. The Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) has delegated certain powers to Council under the Transport Administration Act 1988 (Section 50). A condition of this delegation is that Council must take into account the Traffic Committee recommendations.

There are four formal members of the Traffic Committee, each of whom has a single vote only. The members are representatives from:

NSW Police Force
RMS
Shoalhaven City Council
Local State Member of Parliament (for the location of the issue to be voted upon)

If the RMS or NSW Police Force disagrees with any Traffic Committee recommendation, or Council’s resolution (on any Traffic Committee recommendation), they may lodge an appeal with the Regional Traffic Committee for determination. The appeal must be lodged in writing within 14 days of the date of notification in writing. Any action relative to any issue under appeal must cease until the matter is determined. The Regional Traffic Committee is chaired by an independent chairperson and submissions and representations are welcomed from all interested parties.

Council cannot amend a Traffic Committee recommendation. The Council can only: adopt the Traffic Committee recommendation; not adopt the Traffic Committee recommendation, or request the Traffic Committee reconsider the issue.

Recommendation

That the General Manager (Director Assets and Works) be requested to arrange for the installation of the following parking restrictions in North Street and West Street, Nowra as detailed in the attached plan TRAF 2017/12:

1. a No Stopping zone for a distance of 27m (approx.) on the southern side of North Street, immediately east of its intersection with West Street, Nowra

2. a No Stopping zone for a distance of 10m on the eastern side of West Street, immediately south of its intersection with North Street, Nowra.

Details

Council has been requested to review parking restrictions at the intersection of North Street and West Street, Nowra.

Due to increased parking demand associated with the Shoalhaven Hospital, motorists parking too close to the intersection are restricting sight distance for motorists turning out of West Street.

In view of addressing the concerns raised, Council is proposing to install a No Stopping zone on the south eastern corner of the intersection, 27m on the southern side of North Street and 10m on the eastern side of West Street.

The impact of the proposal will mean the loss of one car parking space on North Street, however it will improve sight distance to motorists exiting West Street.

Consultation was carried out with affected property owners / residents.

No submissions were received
