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.
The full guide to the delegation to Council’s for
the regulation of traffic can be viewed at RMS

to 2 hour (2P) parking between the times of 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday and
between the times of 7am and 12pm Saturday on the corner of Plunkett Street
and Haigh Avenue, Nowra as detailed in the attached plan TRAF2017/81

Details
Applicant: RG Property Ten Pty
Ltd
Owner: RG Property Ten Pty Ltd -
Lot 101 DP 1176270 (No. 103) Plunkett Street and Lot 1 DP 781046 (No.18) Haigh
Avenue, Nowra.
DA15/2291- Construction of a
service station (BP), food and drink premises (McDonalds), car parking, signage
and associated works.
The Committee may recall
previous discussions in relation to DA15/2291 (construction of a service
station (BP) and food and drink premises (McDonalds)) at Lot 101 DP 1176270
(No. 103) Plunkett Street and Lot 1 DP 781046 (No.18) Haigh Avenue, Nowra.
Following their approval and in
accordance with their consent conditions (Condition 23 requires all signage and
line marking be referred to the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee and subsequently
Council for approval) the applicant is further required to enter into a car
park service agreement, allowing the enforcement of parking by Council’s
Ranger Services (due to the positive covenant over the land).
The applicant is proposing to
time restrict 26 off-street parking spaces to 2 hour (2P) parking between the
times of 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday and between the times of 7am and 12pm
Saturday, with the remaining car parking spaces to remain all-day parking.
The positive covenant that was
created in 2004 requires the following:
1. The
Registered Proprietor covenants with the Prescribed Authority that
notwithstanding the conditions of any consent issued in respect of the land, it
will not undertake any development of Lot 1 in Deposited Plan 781046 unless the
proposal includes the provision for a minimum of 50 car parking spaces to be
available for use by the public on the land. The registered proprietor further
covenants that it will enter into a management agreement with the authority to
regulate the provision of the 50 car parking spaces to the public.
2. The
Registered Proprietor covenants with the Prescribed Authority that it will not
permit, allow or condone the movement of motor vehicles between East
Street/Princes Highway and Lot 1 DP 781046 and will include in any proposal for
development make provision for access to be denied to vehicles along that road
boundary.
3. For
the purposes of this Public Positive Covenant “consent”,
“develop” and “development” shall have the same
connotation and meaning as within the meaning of the Environmental Planning and
Assessment Act 1979.
A review of the DA file (DA02/3423)
for the Uncle Pete’s development identified that the approved development
required the provision of 50 car spaces, being 34 car spaces to comply with the
requirements of Council’s car parking code plus an additional 16 car
spaces as required by the positive covenant. As such, 50 spaces were provided
on site.
The developer as part of the
current approval (DA15/2291) will provide 63 car spaces plus 5 motorbike spaces
(24 car spaces in addition to what is required to be provided by
Council’s car parking code). As per the previous consent the developer is
required to make 50 of those spaces available to the public and for those
spaces to be regulated by Council in accordance with the terms of the covenant.
It is noted that of the 63
parking spaces only 26 are proposed to be time restricted to 2 hour parking,
meaning that 37 of the 50 public (covenant) spaces will remain all-day parking
with an additional 5 all-day motorbikes spaces (42 general use spaces).
This proposed mix of all day
parking and time restricted parking satisfies the terms of the covenant in that
a minimum of 50 spaces will be available for use by the public and also ensures
that parking will be available for both general public use and customer use.
Consultation was carried out
with the community and affected land owners, one submission was received
objecting to the proposal (by the Nowra CBD Chamber of Commerce) noting the
restrictions will place further pressure on all day parking in the Nowra CBD.
Council has responded to the Nowra CBD Business Chamber
explaining that the proposal is in accordance with the consent and positive
covenant requirements. The positive covenant does not require ‘all
day’ parking, however, the majority of parking spaces will be all day
parking under the proposal, noting that the proposal is providing an additional
16 spaces above their DCP requirements.
