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.

Attachments: 1. TRAF 2018-29 - No Stopping zone - Cnr Bunberra & Barwon Sts Bomaderry ⇩

Recommendation

That the General Manager (Director Assets & Works) be requested to arrange for the installation of a 30m (approx.) No Stopping zone in the form of yellow line marking on the eastern corner, extending 15m (approx.) north and 15m (approx.) east of the corner of Bunberra Street and Barwon Street, Bomaderry, as detailed in the attached plan TRAF2018/29.

Details

Council’s Traffic Unit have been requested to review parking around the corner of the intersection of Bunberra Street and Barwon Street, Bomaderry noting concerns with parked vehicles restricting road width and sight distance around the bend.

In order to address the concerns raised, Council’s Traffic Unit are considering installing a 30m (approx.) No Stopping zone in the form of yellow line marking on the eastern corner, extending 15m (approx.) north and 15m (approx.) east of the corner of Bunberra Street and Barwon Street, Bomaderry.

TC18.48 Centre Line Marking - Quinns Lane - Old Southern Rd to Princes Highway, South Nowra (PN 3481)

HPERM Ref: D18/143445

Convenor Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. TRAF 2018-30 - Centre and Edge line marking - Quinns Ln South Nowra ⇩

Recommendation

That the General Manager (Director Assets & works) be requested to arrange for the installation of double barrier (BB), double one-way barrier (BS) and single (S1) centre line marking along Quinns Lane, South Nowra, between its intersections with the Princes Highway and Old Southern Road, as detailed in the attached plan TRAF2018/30.

Details

Council has been requested to improve travel lane delineation along Quinns Lane, South Nowra between the Princes Highway and Old Southern Road.

Due to the increasing volume of traffic using Quinns Lane generated by local subdivision activity in South Nowra along Old Southern Road, the installation of centre line marking along Quinns Lane is now considered warranted.

It is proposed to installed centre line marking for the length of Quinns Lane (800m approx.). This will consist of 20m of double barrier (BB) centre line marking at the intersections of the Princes Highway and Old Southern Road, two 145m (12 bar) transitions of double one-way barrier (BS) and 470m (approx) of single (S1) centre line marking.

The proposed improvements will aid in delineating traffic along this section of Quinns Lane.

TC18.49 Centre line marking - Chisholm St - Callala Bay (PN 3482)

HPERM Ref: D18/143452

Convenor Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. TRAF 2018-31 - Centre line marking - Chisholm St Callala Bay ⇩

Recommendation

That the General Manager (Director Assets & Works) be requested to arrange for the installation of 20m (approx.) double barrier (BB) centre line marking along Chisholm Street, at its intersection with Emmett Street, Callala Bay, as detailed in the attached plan TRAF2018/31.

Details

Council has been requested by the Callala Bay Community Association to review delineation at the intersection of Chisholm Street and Emmett Street, Callala Bay noting concern with motorists cutting the corner at this intersection.

Council’s traffic unit reviewed the intersection and noted that the installation of 20m of double barrier (BB) centre line marking at the intersection along Emmett Street central to the road would aid in enforcing the movements into and out of Chisholm Street. Additionaly it was noted that remarking the hold line (TB/TB1)markings at intersection and blacking out 5m of double barrier (BB) line marking on Emmett St to ensure a 10m break at intersection would also aid compliance at the intersection.

Consultation was undertaken with the Callala Bay Community Association, two submissions were received partially supporting of the proposal. However they objected to the extent of the proposal as they would like the line marking to extend the full length of Chisholm Street. It was noted that Council would monitor the intersection following the initial 20m of centre line marking to determine if additional delineation or changes are required in the future.

TC18.52 No Parking - Electric - Albany Street, Berry (PN 3486)

HPERM Ref: D18/143476

Convenor Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. TRAF 2018-34 - No Parking - Electric - Albany St Berry ⇩

Recommendation

That the General Manager (Director Assets & Works) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed regulatory signage and line marking including the use of No Parking ‘Electric vehicles excepted only while charging’ restriction on Albany Street, Berry, in conjunction with the vehicle charging station as detailed in the attached plan TRAF2018/34, subject to consultation with relevant stakeholders.

Details

The NRMA is Australia’s largest member-owned motoring organisation with over 2.6 million members and as such believe they have a key role in creating the infrastructure to support the transition to electric vehicles. To do this NRMA is investing $10m to build a fast-charger network, of 40 stations to support both daily commute and destination travel across NSW & ACT.

In relation to destination travel (max 200klms between sites), site selection is based on sites that:

• Are located within towns, close to services and amenities;

• Are consistently available and offer 24 hr access;

• Offer efficient build costs;

• Create an attraction within a regional community; and

• Can expand in footprint as demand increases

Based on the above, Berry was chosen for it’s:

• ability to support journeys between Sydney and other major regional centres;

• excellent local amenities, tourist attractions and village atmosphere;

• lack of existing charge facilities;

• high proportion of NRMA member (NRMA members get to use the charger for free); and

• minor detour off the highway

Council at its Ordinary Council meeting on the 27th March 2018 resolved (MIN18.199) in part to:

1. Support in principle the proposal received from the NRMA Pty Ltd (Bringing electric vehicle fast- charging to Berry – January 2018) and authorise the General Manager to work through its implementation and delivery with the NRMA Pty Ltd and relevant stakeholders.

NRMA is now seeking to formalise the technical aspects (site, site layout and signage) of the proposal based on the attached plans.

A plan detailing the proposed regulatory signage and line marking has been submitted for the committees consideration.
