 The Shoalhaven Traffic Committee is a technical review committee, not a committee of Council under the Local Government Act 1993.  Transport for NSW (TfNSW) 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 TfNSW 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.

TC22.41     Proposed Centreline Modifications - Bawley Point Road - Bawley Point (PN 3723)

 

HPERM Ref:       D22/459258

 

Convenor:          David Pieresko 

Attachments:     1.  PN 3723 Plans  

 

Recommendation

That:

1.    This report be received for information.

2.    The Committee note that, based on discussions with the Southern District Engineer and Transport for NSW, it has been decided to not proceed with the proposed centreline modifications. Additional W2-206 ‘CAUTION DRIVEWAYS’ warning signage on both approaches along Bawley Point Road will be considered to enhance driver awareness and improve road safety at this location. 

 

Background:

Shoalhaven City Council has received concerns regarding road safety issues along Bawley Point Road, Bawley Point. In particular, it has been brought to Council’s attention that the section of permitted overtaking between Council Chainage Points (CH) 2.200km – 2.940km presents a potential risk of limited driver awareness with turning vehicles entering and exiting from private properties. 

Council staff have recently conducted a sight distance inspection at this location (as per AS2890.1) and a technical assessment of the existing linemarking along this road (as per AS1742.2). As a result, Council is considering the modification of linemarking at this location.

 

Details of Submission:

The extent of this proposal would be to replace the 740m section of dividing barrier and separation linemarking (BS / S1) with double barrier linemarking (BB) between the above-mentioned chainage points. 

 

The impact of this proposal will remove the opportunity to overtake in both directions along this section of Bawley Point Road. This will eliminate any potential driver confusion or risks to road safety created by vehicles turning into private properties conflicting with another vehicle attempting to overtake. Please note that access to driveways will not be affected by the proposal as residents and visitors are permitted to cross the BB centreline in order to enter and leave driveways (as per s134(3-1) of the NSW Road Rules).

 

Consultation:

Council commenced consultation with affected residents, businesses and the Bawley Point, Kioloa & Termeil Community Association. To date, Council has received no objections to this proposal. 

 

Risk Implications:

This proposal will assist in reducing potential driver confusion and associated risks to road safety produced by vehicles turning into private properties conflicting with another vehicle attempting to overtake.

 

Financial Implications:

This proposal would be funded by Transport for NSW’s Block Grant Funding allocated to Council for new signage and linemarking.

TC23.1    Bus Zone / Parking Restrictions - Moss Vale Road - Kangaroo Valley (PN 3732)

 

HPERM Ref:       D23/31575

 

Convenor:          David Pieresko 

Attachments:     1.  PN 3732 Plan   

Recommendation (Item to be determined under delegated authority)

That:

1.   TfNSW be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed parking restrictions at Moss Vale Road, Kangaroo Valley as per Plan No. D23/31582;

2.   The recommendation be noted by the Director City Services.

 

Background:

Council has received concerns from bus operators and residents regarding the safety around the bus stop at 2053 Moss Vale Road in Kangaroo Valley. Moss Vale Road is a TfNSW road and has similarly received the same concerns. Council and TfNSW have worked collaboratively to improve safety however TfNSW has jurisdiction. 

 

Details of Submission:

The extent of this proposal would involve the installation of both “Bus Zone” and “No Parking” restrictions for approximately 24 metres, encompassing the bus shelter on the western side of the roadway outside 2053 Moss Vale Road.

The proposal is to install the following signage containing restrictions:

R5-20 – “Bus Zone // 6:30 – 9:00AM // 3:00 – 5:30PM // School Days”,
R5-40 – “No Parking // All Other Times”.

This proposal will allow the area to be safely utilised as a bus stop, without potential conflict with parked vehicles.

 

Consultation:

Council commenced consultation with affected residents, stakeholders and the Kangaroo Valley Community Consultative Body in December 2022 to discuss the proposal. To date, Council has received two submissions, both in support of the proposal. 

 

Risk Implications:

This proposal will assist in facilitating unimpeded access to the bus stop, removing potential hazards to the safe operation of buses when setting down or picking up passengers. No further risks are associated with this project.

 

Financial Implications:

The signage for this proposal would be installed by Transport for NSW at their cost.

TC23.5       Proposed Parking Signage Modifications - Princes Highway - Milton (PN 3737)

 

HPERM Ref:       D23/40070

 

Convenor:          David Pieresko 

Attachments:     1.  PN 3737 Plans   

 

Recommendation

That:

1.    The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed removal of the redundant ‘Mail Zone’ signage and replacement with equivalent time restricted parking signage on the Princes Highway, Milton as per Plan No. D23/40154

2.    The recommendation be approved by the Director City Services under delegated authority from Shoalhaven City Council - refer MIN21.411

 

 

Background:

Shoalhaven City Council has received concerns regarding parking restrictions along the Princes Highway, Milton. As the Post Office has been relocated to Wason Street, the existing ‘Mail Zone’ parking signage along the Princes Highway is no longer required. 

As such, Council is considering the modification of parking signage at this location.

 

Details of Submission:

The extent of this proposal would be to remove the existing ‘Mail Zone’ parking restrictions on the north-eastern side of the Princes Highway and replace with 1P timed parking signage. This would be an extension of the existing parking restrictions along this side of the Princes Highway and would be active during the same hours of operation (i.e. 8:30am – 5:30pm on Monday – Friday and 8:30am – 12:30pm on Saturday). 

As a result of this proposal, there will be an increase of three time restricted parallel parking spaces provided along the Princes Highway, in place of the redundant Mail Zone.

 

Consultation:

Council commenced consultation with affected residents, businesses and the Milton 2538 Community Consultative Body between December 2022 and January 2023 to discuss the proposal. To date, Council has received two submissions in favour of the proposal.

 

Risk Implications:

This proposal would improve parking efficiency through the removal of the redundant ‘Mail Zone’ signage and replacement with equivalent timed parking signage.

 

Financial Implications:

This proposal would be funded by Transport for NSW’s Block Grant Funding allocated to Council for new signage and linemarking.

TC23.6       Proposed Relocation of Parking Spaces - Camden Street - Ulladulla (PN 3738)

 

HPERM Ref:       D23/40196

 

Convenor:          David Pieresko 

Attachments:     1.  PN 3738 Plans   

 

Recommendation

That:

1.   The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed signage and linemarking modifications to Camden Street, Ulladulla as per Plan No D23/40547.

2.   The recommendation be approved by the Director City Services under delegated authority from Shoalhaven City Council - refer MIN21.411.

 

 

Background:

Shoalhaven City Council has received concerns regarding emergency access to the Ulladulla High School’s northern ovals from Camden Street, Ulladulla. In the event of an emergency, where Ambulances may be required to access the northern ovals on site, there is currently no dedicated parking spaces or restricted zone to provide this access. Council staff have recently inspected this location, taking note of the existing condition and signage along the road. 

 

From these investigations, Council is considering the modification of parking spaces at this location.

 

Details of Submission:

The extent of this proposal would be to relocate the ‘No Stopping’ parking restrictions on the eastern side of Camden Street by two parking spaces south of the kerb blister at this location. This restricted parking area will then be delineated with yellow hatched linemarking to highlight the clearance area. Future works will remove the existing upright kerb and replace with a 3m wide layback driveway to provide direct access to the High School’s gate into the northern ovals.

 

As a result of this proposal, there will be a reduction of two parking spaces on the eastern side of Camden Street.

 

 

Consultation:

Council commenced consultation with affected residents, the Ulladulla High School, bus companies and the Ulladulla and Districts Community Forum between December 2022 and January 2023 to discuss the proposal. To date, Council has received two submissions in favour of the proposal.

 

Risk Implications:

The impact of this proposal will remove two angled parking spaces on the eastern side of Camden Street, to ensure permanent access to the High School’s ovals for emergency purposes.

 

Financial Implications:

This proposal would be funded by Transport for NSW’s Block Grant Funding allocated to Council for new signage and linemarking.

TC23.7       Proposed Intersection Improvements - McArthur Drive & Jervis Bay Road - Falls Creek (PN 3739)

 

HPERM Ref:       D23/40742

 

Convenor:          David Pieresko 

Attachments:     1.  PN 3739 Plans   

 

Recommendation

That:

1.   The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed intersection improvements at McArthur Drive and Jervis Bay Road, Falls Creek, as per Plan No D23/41158.

2.   The recommendation be approved by the Director City Services under delegated authority from Shoalhaven City Council - refer MIN21.411.

 

 

Background:

Shoalhaven City Council has received concerns regarding road safety at the intersection of McArthur Drive and Jervis Bay Road, Falls Creek. Council staff have recently inspected this location, taking note of the existing condition, signage and linemarking at the intersection.

 

From these investigations, Council is considering road safety improvements to this intersection.

 

Details of Submission:

The extent of this proposal would be to upgrade the intersection with a Channelised Right- turn treatment (CHR) for southbound vehicles along Jervis Bay Road to access McArthur Drive. An Auxiliary Left- turn treatment (AUL) will also be considered for northbound vehicles along Jervis Bay to access McArthur Drive. Modifications to the centreline and installation of chevron pavement markings will also be considered for this proposal.  

 

Consultation:

Council commenced consultation with affected residents and the Huskisson Woollamia Community Voice between January and February 2023 to discuss the proposal. To date, Council has received three submissions, consisting of two in favour and one opposed to this proposal.

 

The submissions received raised concerns regarding vehicle speeds along Jervis Bay Road and limited sight distance at the intersection. From this, there were requests made for Council to consider the reduction of the existing 80km/h speed limit along Jervis Bay Road and the installation of speed cameras and convex mirrors at the intersection.

 

Residents who raised these concerns as part of the consultation were notified that the responsibility of reviewing and modifying speed zones on all roads within New South Wales comes under the control of Transport of NSW (TfNSW). Subsequently, it was suggested to make a separate submission to request a speed zone investigation with TfNSW via the Safer Roads NSW website.

 

Similarly, residents were notified that TfNSW is responsible for the deployment of mobile speed cameras on all roads. Residents were directed to make a separate submission to request a mobile speed camera at this location via the Safer Roads NSW website.

 

Residents were also notified that Council does not support the installation of new convex mirrors. This is due to several inherent problems with convex mirrors, such as distorting the image, speed and distance of an object being viewed. With these concerns in mind, the installation of a convex mirror at this location would potentially be more detrimental than beneficial.

 

Lastly, residents raised concerns regarding the scope of the works impacting private property and limiting access to No. 3 Stapleton St (No. 3 Lot 49 on the plan). No impact is foreseen as per the proposed plan, but this will be investigated and addressed in the detailed design to ensure access is maintained.

 

Risk Implications:

The impact of this proposal will improve road safety and provide dedicated turning lanes for vehicles wishing to access McArthur Drive on both northbound and southbound approaches along Jervis Bay Road. As indicated above, this design will not restrict access to properties with driveways fronting Jervis Bay Road.

 

Financial Implications:

This proposal is subject to the acquisition funding for the intersection improvement works.
