TC23.13 Proposed Bus Restrictions - Booderee Avenue - Hyams Beach (PN 3747)

HPERM Ref: D23/80886

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. PN 3747 Plans ⇩

Recommendation (Item to be determined under delegated authority)

That:

1. The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed bus restrictions on Booderee Avenue, Hyams Beach and associated guide signage, as per Plan No D23/81051.

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 oversized buses accessing Hyams Beach through Booderee Avenue and congesting local streets. 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 installation of bus restrictions at this location.

Details of Submission:

The extent of this proposal would be to prohibit buses above 6 tonnes of gross vehicle mass (GVM) from utilising Booderee Avenue and accessing Hyams Beach village. Regulatory signage would be installed at this intersection to demonstrate the restrictions, with additional guide signs on both approaches along Naval College Road to raise awareness of the restrictions. In addition to this, further guide signage is proposed on Naval College Road south of the intersection with The Wool Road, indicating the bus restrictions along Booderee Avenue. These additional signs would reinforce the upcoming restrictions and would grant overweight buses the opportunity to turn around prior to the intersection with Booderee Avenue.

To ensure that routine public bus services and school buses can access the Hyams Beach community, Council will be able to provide a letter of exemption to affected public bus services and school buses bus companies where requested.

Consultation:

Council commenced consultation with local bus companies to discuss the proposal. To date, Council has received no objections to the proposal. This proposal has been requested and discussed with community members of Hyams Beach.

Risk Implications:

The impact of this proposal will ensure that oversized tourist buses are restricted from accessing Hyams Beach and reduce the potential for congestion along the local streets. However, whilst this proposal contains regulatory signage that can be enforced, it does not physically prevent overweight buses from using Booderee Avenue if they wish to contravene the signposted restrictions and risk being in breach of the NSW Road Rules.

Financial Implications:

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