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:

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.

TC19.62 Private Use of Public Parking - 82 South Street Ulladulla (PN 3561)

HPERM Ref: D19/426764

Convenor: Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. PN 3561 Plan ⇩

Recommendation

That the Chief Executive Officer (Director Assets and Works) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed extension of the Private Use of Public Parking for an additional 3 months ending on the 30th September 2020, as detailed in Plan No: (D19/426854).

Details

As the Committee may recall, Council had received a request to occupy 6 parallel parking spaces on South Street Ulladulla pursuant to the new Health One Facility. It was resolved by this Committee and subsequently adopted by Council (MIN19.786):

'That the Chief Executive Officer (Director Assets and Works) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objections to the temporary use of 6 parking spaces for a period of approximately 9 months during the works of 82 South St, Ulladulla, as detailed in the attached plan, subject to payment of associated fees in accordance with Council’s Private Use of Public Parking Policy 16/154.'

Council has received correspondence from the applicant since then that has requested to extend this application for an additional 3 months, ending on the 30th September 2020. As this is a significant extension of time over the original permit, approval must be sought from the Committee.

TC19.63 No Parking Zone Extension - Idlewild Avenue - Sanctuary Point Public School (PN 3569)

HPERM Ref: D19/426785

Convenor: Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. PN 3569 Plan ⇩

Recommendation

That the Chief Executive Officer (Director Assets and Works) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed extension of the No Parking zone along Idlewild Avenue Sanctuary Point for an additional 17m, as detailed in Plan No: (D19/426909).

Details

Shoalhaven City Council has received concerns from the public regarding the No Parking Zone along Idlewild Avenue, Sanctuary Point.

Council’s Engineering Design Unit has inspected the location and have proposed to extend the no parking zone an additional 17m east to the no stopping sign at the intersection of Kingsford Smith Crescent. Currently, this space is not signposted and allows for unrestricted parking.

The impact of this proposal would result in increased storage length for vehicles during peak hour school pick up and drop off times and will alleviate traffic congestion and illegal manoeuvres and increase safety for the school children. This extended no parking zone would be within the existing current timeframes, where it is only active on school days between the hours of 8am – 9:30am and 2:30pm – 4pm.

Consultation was undertaken with the community and adjacent affected properties. Council has received no objections.

A signage plan has been submitted for the Committee's consideration.

TC19.64 Parallel Parking Signage - Mitchell Parade - Mollymook Beach (PN 3573)

HPERM Ref: D19/426810

Convenor: Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. PN 3573 Plan ⇩

Recommendation

That the Chief Executive Officer (Director Assets and Works) be requested to arrange for the installation of parallel parking signage along frontage of No 132 to 140 Mitchell Parade for the total length of 80m, as detailed per Plan No: (D19/427125).

Details

Council has received concerns regarding vehicles parked on an angle in Mitchell Parade, limiting pedestrian manoeuvrability and creating vehicle congestion.

To address these concerns, Council staff are considering the installation of “Parallel Parking Only” signage for approximately 80m along the Eastern side of Mitchell Parade. These signs will be offset approximately 2.5m from the edge of the road to ensure that vehicles are parked out of the travel lane allowing manoeuvrability for both motorists and pedestrians.

A consultation was undertaken with affected properties and the Ulladulla and Districts Community Forum. Council has received three submissions, one rejection of Council proposed plan and two mixed supports. Of these mixed supports, one agrees with the notion of installing parking restrictions but so long as there is kerb and gutter works installed. The other mixed support indicates that additional controls need to be extended in both Northern and Southern directions along Mitchell Parade.

A signage plan has been submitted for the Committee’s consideration.

TC19.65 Private Use of Public Parking - Reserve Road (Jellicoe Street) - South Nowra (PN 3570)

HPERM Ref: D19/426833

Convenor: Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. PN 3570 Plan ⇩

Recommendation

That the Chief Executive Officer (Director Assets and Works) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objections to the temporary use of 17 parking spaces for a period of approximately 55 weeks and 4 days during the works of 145~159 Princes Highway, South Nowra as detailed per Plan No: (D19/427004), subject to payment of associated fees in accordance with Council’s Private Use of Public Parking Policy 16/154.

Details

Applicant: Hutchinson Builders

Works Description: To conduct works at the development of South Nowra Bunnings (per DA18/1598) until 30th August 2020, weather permitting.

145 -159 Princes Highway - Lot A DP 403839

Council has received an application from Hutchinson Builders who are undertaking the development works at 145-159 Princes Highway, South Nowra in regards to the new Bunnings (per DA18/1598). They have requested to utilise 100m worth of timed parking along Reserve Road, South Nowra for an approximate period of 55 weeks and 4 days.

Reserve Road is directly adjacent to the worksite and would be the safest and efficient location to park in this proposed zone. The spaces to be occupied do not significantly impact on neighbouring residences or businesses.

This application is consistent with the Council’s Private Use of Public Parking Policy 16/154.

TC19.66 Restricted Parking - Greenwell Point Boat Ramp (PN 3571)

HPERM Ref: D19/426851

Convenor: Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. PN 3571 Plan ⇩

Recommendation

That the Chief Executive Officer (Director Assets and Works) be requested to arrange for the installation of time-restricted parking along the eastern and western sides of the Greenwell Point Boat ramp and the installation 62 m of C3 'No Stopping' yellow line marking around the circumference of the turning circle, as detailed per Plan No: (D19/427113).

These signs will be for a trial period, ending 30^th April 2020, where these signs will be re-evaluated in consultation with the community and the Greenwell Point Community Association.

Details

Council has been requested to review the allocation of parking within the Greenwell Point Boat Ramp carpark. Currently, there are no parking restrictions regarding time or type of vehicle that can park within the carpark. This has led to congestion created by vehicles with boat trailers not being allocated sufficient spaces within the carpark.

To address these concerns, the Council’s Engineering Design Unit is considering installing parking restrictions along the western and eastern sides of the carpark. These signs would be installed under a trial period over the summer season, ending 30^th April 2020. Information will be provided alongside these signs for where feedback can be sent and collected. Should these signs be met with negative reception or other issues brought forward, then Council will reassess the parking arrangements and resubmit for further review.

This proposition would involve installing signage, all-day parking for vehicles with trailers on the western side of the car park and parking restrictions preventing parking between 6 am and 11 am on all days except for cars with trailers. This aims to resolve issues with lack of parking for vehicles with boat trailers and to differentiate parking provisions for regular vehicles from vehicles with boat trailers.

Additionally, consideration has been given to complaints received about cars with trailers parking around the turning circle and creating congestion. To address this, we are considering installing ‘No Stopping’ C3 yellow line marking around the circumference of the turning circle to prevent this activity.

The impact of this proposal is a small scale, as there would be adequate parking for regular vehicles in other locations of the carpark and parking restrictions along the eastern side would lift before midday. The hours on the parking restricted signage were selected after consulting with relevant stakeholders in the area. These times were seen to best facilitate parking for cars with boat trailers during the time where most boating activity would commence, giving an early opportunity to secure parking for the day.

A consultation was undertaken with the community and the Greenwell Point Community Association. Council has received no objections regarding this matter.

A signage and linemarking plan has been submitted to the Committee for consideration.

Recommendation

That the Chief Executive Officer (Director Assets and Works) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed signage and line marking within the Owen Street / Morton Street carpark, to establish 3 disabled car parking spaces in lieu of the 2 existing.

Details

Council has been asked to investigate an optimisation into the public carpark on Owen Street / Morton Street Carpark adjacent to Sydney Street in Huskisson.

To this end, parking restrictions and directional line marking have been proposed for the carpark. Three disabled car parking spaces have been provided in lieu of the two existing. Additionally, motorcycle parking has been provided along the eastern side of the carpark.

A consultation was undertaken with the Huskisson Chamber of Commerce and Tourism and the Huskisson Woollamia Community Voice. Council has received no objections regarding this matter.

Details

Council has been requested as part of the resolution of the Strategy and Assets Committee meeting on the 12th March 2019 to review the provision of disabled/accessible parking within the Shoalhaven Memorial Gardens and Lawn Cemetery.
