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 advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the installation of the proposed pedestrian refuge and associated signage and line marking on Prince Edward Avenue, Culburra Beach adjacent to the Curley’s Bay Reserve as detailed in the attached plan TRAF2017/83.

Details

Council has received ongoing concern regarding pedestrian safety when crossing Prince Edward Avenue adjacent to the Curley’s Bay recreational skate park, Culburra Beach.

Council is commencing road rehabilitiation works on Prince Edward Avenue. As part of the road rehabilitation there is an oppurtunity to provide improved pedestrian facilities at this location.

The proposed road works require the removal of the existing slow points located either side of the Penguins Head Road intersection. In lieu of reinstating the slow points Council is proposing to install a pedestrian refuge adjacent to the Curley’s Bay recreational skate park, in addition to the existing pedestrian refuge located on Prince Edward Avenue between Penguins Head Road and Whistler Street.

It is noted that the proposed pedestrian refuge will provide improved pedestrian access whilst reducing vehicle speed in this location.

The detail of the existing and proposed facilities are included on the attached plan TRAF2017/83.

Consultation was carried out with affected residents and the Culburra Beach Progress Association.

Six submissions were received. Two support the proposal and four supporting the proposal with some concern regarding parking provisions. Notably the proposal will remove approximately 4 on-street parallel parking spaces.

Council recently consulted for the consideration of an alternative traffic management scheme within Sutton Street:

- Installation of centre and edge line marking

- Installation of parallel parking restrictions on both sides of the road

- Removal of guide posts from within Sutton Street.

- Council rescind the previous motion (MIN 16.194)

- Council write to the member for South Coast Shelley Hancock MP advising of concerns relating to overflow parking affecting safety in surrounding streets and request the NSW Government consider expanding parking capacity in the Greenfields Beach Carpark.

Consultation was carried out with affected property owners and the Vincentia Residents & Ratepayers Association (VRRA).

9 submissions where received in total, 5 submissions did not support the proposal strongly objecting to increasing parking, one submission fully supported the proposal, 3 submissions where neither for nor against the proposal.

Noting the communities concerns regarding the above proposal, it is proposed to:

a) Install 100m (approx.) of double barrier centre line marking

b) Install new ‘No Through Road’ signage at the intersection of Elizabeth Drive and Sutton Street.

c) Rescind the previous motion (MIN 16.194).

Council’s Traffic Unit will continue to monitor Sutton Street for future improvements following these short term changes.

TC17.94 Yellow Line Marking - No Stopping Zones - Shoalhaven City Roads (PN 3455)

HPERM Ref: D17/409386

Convenor: Tom Dimec

Recommendation

That the General Manager (Director Assets and Works) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objections in principle in the application of yellow No Stopping edge line marking on Shoalhaven city roads, subject to a merit (case by case) review by the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee and subsequent recommendation to Council.

Details

Historically, yellow edge line marking was provided in the NSW road rules to augment and reinforce no stopping restrictions. As signage was required as well, it was an economic decision to not install yellow edge line marking within No Stopping zones.

Under the current Rule 169 and provisions in Division 2 of the NSW Road Rules, a driver must not stop at the side of a road marked with a continuous yellow edge line. Provisions in Division 2 of the Road Rules make it clear that signage is no longer required in conjunction with yellow No Stopping edge line markings.

As such, consideration can now be given to the use of yellow No Stopping edge line marking in future applications of No Stopping zones.

It should be noted that not all locations are appropriate for line marking, and signage may still be preferred or required in conjunction with yellow No Stopping edge line marking.
