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.

Details

Nowra Hill Public School has raised concerns regarding parking arrangements on the Council and Defence land adjacent to the School.

Council's Traffic Investigation Officer met onsite with the School Principal, representatives of Defence and the Roads and Maritime Services to discuss the matter.

It was identified that vehicles are parking across the footpath opposite the school gate, preventing safe pedestrian movement. Furthermore, it was identified that there was no pick-up/drop-off area.

It should be noted that Shoalhaven City Council owns a small section of land servicing a R.O.W between land owned by the Department of Justice and Attorney General and land owned by the Minister of Education and Training at this location. It should also be noted that current access to Nowra Hill Public School is from Bedford Street (Private) owned by the Department of Defence, as Council owns the land between these parties Council has coordinated the below changes.

To address these concerns, Council is proposing to install the following changes:

a) 50m No Stopping zone along the existing footpath within Department of Justice and Attorney General Land.

b) 18m time restricted No Parking (8:00am-9:30am 2:30pm-4:00pm School Days) to facilitate pick up and drop off of school students adjacent to the school boundary.

c) 50m No Stopping zone along the eastern fence line to aid maintenance and maintain Council’s R.O.W.

The Department of Defence have agreed to install and maintain required signage on the Department of Justice and Attorney General land.
