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.

Convenor: Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. TRAF 2017/75 - No Stopping Zone North St Ulladulla ⇩

Recommendation

That the General Manager (Director Assets and Works) be requested to arrange for the installation of a 31m (approx.) No Stopping zone on the northern side of North Street, east of the Kalang Avenue intersection, Ulladulla, as detailed in the attached plan TRAF2017/75.

Details

Council has received concern regarding vehicles parking on the northern side of North Street impacting sight distance east when exiting from Kalang Avenue, Ulladulla.

An intersection sight distance inspection was undertaken at the intersection and it was noted that due to the crest and existing double barrier centre line marking, parking within 31m east of the intersection is already restricted (NSW Road Rule 208), due to the limited width between the kerb and double barrier centre line marking.

Council is proposing to install a No Stopping zone for 31m on the northern side of North Street, east of the Kalang Avenue intersection, Ulladulla, to reinforce the existing restrictions.

Consultation was carried out with affected property owners and the Ulladulla & Districts Community Forum.

One submission was received from the Ulladulla & Districts Community Forum who support the proposal.
