The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed regulatory signage, linemarking and Local Area Traffic Management devices relating to the subdivision at Lot 60 DP1281408, Old Southern Road, South Nowra as per D23/378029.

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

Background

APPLICANT: Allen Price and Scarratts Pty Ltd

OWNER: Twin Nowra Estate Pty Ltd

Lot 60 DP1281408 – Old Southern Road – South Nowra - Residential Subdivision

A new subdivision development application for a 166-lot residential subdivision at Old Southern Rd, South Nowra was approved on 5 December 2022. As per the development consent requirements, the developer has submitted a proposal for local area road safety measures which focus on emergency access, and on improving pedestrian and road safety for the community.

Details of Submission

The proposed measures include:

· The reinforcement of ‘No Stopping’ zones with ‘C3’ linemarking and ‘No Stopping’ signage at all intersections with Firetail St.

· ‘No Parking’ signage at the cul-de-sac in Road 04.

· Raised thresholds on Firetail St and Road 04.

· A raised Wombat (pedestrian) Crossing on Road 02.

· Raised threshold pavements at the T-intersections of Road 07 and 05, and Road 07 and Road 04.

· ‘C3’ linemarking for the southern side of Road 10 and for sections of Road 04.

· Centreline and ‘C3’ linemarking along Old Southern Rd and Firetail St to clearly delineate travel lanes.

These facilities will be accompanied by their associated signage and linemarking.

Consultation

The Development Application was on Public Exhibition from 12 June 2021 to 12 July 2021. To date, Council received one submission advocating for the widening of Old Southern Rd and its connection to Warra Warra Road. However, no widening or connection to Warra Warra Road is being proposed as part of these works. The development was approved on 5 December 2022.

Risk Implications

The proposed controls, signage and linemarking measures would enable bushfire access, regulate vehicle speeds, and provide a safer road network within the subdivision. Furthermore, these conditions have been stipulated in the development consent.

Financial ImplicationsThe proposed works are to be funded by the private Developer in accordance with development consent. Following the dedication of these roads, Council will be responsible for their ongoing maintenance.

3. Transportation, Awareness of Event and Access

Public Transport: The event organisers will inform public transport companies about the event, and they will make necessary adjustments to their regular routes, ensuring safety and minimal delays.

Parking: There is no dedicated on-site parking available for this event.

Access/Awareness: A notice will be delivered to the letterboxes of residents and businesses in and around Huskisson, providing them with at least 21 days' notice. The notice will contain information regarding road restrictions and alternative routes. Resident access will be ensured throughout the day, if it is safe to do so.

Risk Implications

1. Parking Limitations and Potential Congestion

The event is proposed to take place over the second last week of February and is within peak summer period, when there is typically a high volume of day trippers and visitors to the region. With the higher vehicle and pedestrian demand and combination of event patrons, there is the potential for traffic flow issues, parking constraints and delays throughout Huskisson.

2. Local Business and Resident Impact

Large events can impact local businesses and residents negatively. Road closures and increased traffic may make it challenging for customers to reach businesses, and residents may experience noise disturbances, limited access to their properties, or inconvenience due to traffic restrictions.

The festival will be conducted by Elite Energy Pty Ltd and will be approved, sanctioned & insured by the national governing body, Triathlon Australia. All athletes must abide by the current rules & regulations of Triathlon Australia endorsed by the International Triathlon Union (ITU).

3. Unsafe Lane Widths:

To reduce safety concerns regarding unsafe lane widths, the TGS is to be implemented in accordance with TS 05492 - Traffic control at work sites” 20.346 | Issue No.6.1 28 February 2022 Transport for NSW with and the subsequently listed considerations:

· Clause 4.3.2 on Lane Widths: The minimum width for lanes carrying traffic around, past or through a work site must be in accordance with Table 4-2.

· Lane widths should also consider accommodating the turn paths of large vehicles expected to negotiate the work site as per Clause 4.4.5 for Heavy Vehicles.

· Where existing lane widths are narrower than those specified in the table above, the lane widths may be maintained. However, the TMP must document provisions for turning paths, sight distances and vulnerable road users.

· Where fixed vertical obstructions such as fences or safety barriers are restricting the available shoulder width, consideration should be given to increasing lane widths to accommodate larger vehicles.

TC23.52 Signage, Linemarking and AUL/CHR Plan for Driveway Intersection- Bolong Road - Bolong - PN (3786)

HPERM Ref: D23/428928

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. PN 3786 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 plan for the new concrete batching plant located Lot 1 DP531429, Bolong Road, Bolong, as per D23/340606.

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

APPLICANT: MI Engineers Pty Ltd

OWNER: Cleary Brothers Pty Ltd

Background:

A commercial development application DA21/1612 for a proposed concrete batching plant at 340 Bolong Rd was approved by Council on 14 March 2022. As part of their development consent (Condition 27), the applicant is required to construct a Rural Channelised T-Junction (CHR) and Rural Auxiliary Left-turn Lane Treatment (AUL) at the site entrance to ensure that safe vehicle turning movements are managed at the driveway intersection. This proposal has now been submitted for Traffic Committee’s consideration.

Condition 27. Road Design Standards

Prior to the issue of a Construction Certificate, certified road design engineering plans must be prepared by a suitably qualified engineer or surveyor and approved by Council. The road design must comply with the following:

a) to facilitate right turn movements from Bolong Road into the site, a CHR is to be designed and constructed. The works are to include all required road and shoulder widening. The current existing road shoulder width is to be maintained. Where additional width is required for the CHR additional shoulder pavements is to be constructed. The storage length is to be at least the length of the largest vehicle expected to enter the site.

b) To facilitate left turn movements from Bolong Road into the site, a AUL is to be designed and constructed. The works are to include all necessary road and shoulder widening. The current existing road shoulder width is to be maintained. Where additional width is required for the AUL additional shoulder pavements is to be constructed.

c) Councils Engineering Design Specifications Sections D1 – Geometric Road Design and D2 – Flexible Pavement Design.

d) AUSTROADS Design Requirements and Specifications except in relation to overtaking sight distance where the design must be consistent with the approved concept design in Appendix U of the EIS (plan SK02 Rev P2) and the line marking measures recommended by TTW in their letter to Council of 25/8/21 as included in Condition 1.

e) The road table drain adjacent Bolong Road is to be reconstructed as required to prevent ponding of water, including any adjustment or reconstruction of nearby driveways.

Details of Submission:

This proposal would involve the installation of Rural Channelised T-Junction (CHR) and Rural Auxiliary Left-turn Lane Treatment (AUL) due to Condition 27 of the development consent. An acceleration lane is also proposed for drivers travelling westbound from the site.

To facilitate right-turn movements from Bolong Rd into the site, a CHR turn lane is proposed in the east-bound lane. The dedicated right-turn lane will have a width of 3.5 meters , while a 3.0-meter-wide lane will be maintained for through traffic. The existing road shoulder width will remain unchanged.

To facilitate left-turn movements from Bolong Road into the site, a rural AUL in the west-bound lane is proposed as per Table 8.2, of Austroads Guide - AGRD04A-23-Ed3.2. The turning lane will be 3.0 meters wide and 75 meters long, accompanied by a 1.0-meter-wide shoulder. A 30-meter-long taper zone will allow vehicles to merge into the turning lane.

For drivers exiting the driveway, the proposed plan is to install a ‘STOP’ sign, complemented by continuous linemarking (TF). From there, a 125-meter-long acceleration lane is proposed for drivers travelling westbound to merge back into the traffic lane. However, it is noted from the swept paths provided that the turning radius has not designed to accommodate 20m (the largest vechile using the site) trucks.

Consultation:

Consultation with adjacent residents and stakeholders took place from June 30, 2021 to July 30, 2021. Nine (9) responses opposing the development were received for Council’s consideration. Three (3) of the responses raised concerns about traffic issues:

1. The first respondent requested the extension of the turning lanes up to the property entry to reduce the likelihood of near-miss incidents from vehicles seeking to overtake slow-moving vehicles turning in and out of the site.

2. The second respondent expressed concerns about having trucks confusing other drivers by decelerating to turn right into the site in an area transitioning from 60kph to 100kph.

3. The third respondent was concerned that the originally proposed 90m merging lane would be insufficient for trucks turning left from the site to accelerate to 100kph before merging into the traffic lane. Similar concerns were expressed regarding the safety impacts of slow-moving trucks turning right.

The proposed CHR and AUL lanes in the current proposal have been extended to comply with Austroads Guide - AGRD04A-23-Ed3.2. While the length of the westbound acceleration lane for vehicles complies with Austroads, the kerb return radius has not been designed to allow for the left hand turn of 20m (the largest vechile using the site) trucks into it. The development was approved by Council on 14 March 2022.

Risk Implications:

This proposal aims to enhance road safety during the ingress and egress of vehicles at the concrete plant. The implementation of AUL and CHR measures will contribute to improved reaction times for vehicles traveling in both west and east directions. Where necessary, shoulder lanes will be widened, and their maintenance will be ensured to bolster these safety measures.

Financial Implications:

The proposed works are to be funded by the private Developer in accordance with their development consent. Following this, Council will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of these facilities.

TC23.53 Signage, Linemarking and Wildlife Warning Signs Plan for Lots 6 and 7 DP1236686 Worrigee Road - Worrigee - PN (3787)

HPERM Ref: D23/437299

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. PN 3787 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, raised thresholds and wildlife warning signs plan for the Subdivision located Lot 6 and 7 DP1236686, Worrigee Road Worrigee as per development consent SF10570 and as per D23/341861.

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

APPLICANT: Allen Price and Scarratts Pty Ltd

OWNER: Umbene Pty Ltd

Background:

The development application (SF10570) for a proposed subdivision in stages 2 and 3 located at 369 Worrigee Rd, and 23A Aldous Pl, Worrigee, gained development approval on 26 July 2021. As part of their development consent, the applicant was requested to install speed control devices at all waterway crossings to reduce vehicular traffic speeds at Green and Golden Bell Frog crossing points in the road (Condition 44).

Details of Submission:

This proposal would involve the installation of six (6) raised thresholds, road linemarking, and LATM devices as per Australian Standards, and development consent Condition 44.

To reinforce the presence of upcoming raised thresholds, warning signs W3-4 “Speed Hump Ahead (Symbolic)” sign and W8-17-2 “NEXT 50m” supplementary plates would be provided at the following locations:

· 40m south of the southern raised threshold on Worrigee Road

· 40m north of the northern raised threshold on Worrigee Road

· 40m east of the eastern threshold on Stevens Road

Advisory “Care for Our Wildlife” signage is proposed for all wildlife crossings. These signs would be located 10m after the raised thresholds on both directions.

Consultation:

Council consulted with adjacent residents and stakeholders from 17^th May 2017 to 23^rd June 2017 and again between 13^th November 2017 to 27^th November 2017. The development was subsequently submitted to the Land & Environmental Court for determination, leading to an additional community consultation, which took place between the 29^th of May 2019. From the six (6) responses received, only one (1) response pertained to traffic matters. This respondent opposed access from Forrest Road or Worrigee Road and advocated for exclusive access either via Stevens Road or through the proposed private road.

Risk Implications:

This proposal aims to enhance road safety during the ingress and egress of vehicles on local roads. The raised threshold, signage and linemarking measures seek to improve reaction times for vehicles by reducing their travel speed in this area. These LATM devices are expected to reduce the overall likelihood of harm to wildlife.

Financial Implications:

The proposed works are to be funded by the private Developer in accordance with the development consent. Following this, Council will be responsible for ongoing maintenance following the dedication of roads within the subdivision.

TC23.54 Timed Parking Restrictions - Balmoral Road - Burrill Lake (PN 3788)

HPERM Ref: D23/438947

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. PN 3788 Plan ⇩

Recommendation

That:

1. The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed time restricted parking signage at Balmoral Road, Burrill Lake as per D23/438973.

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 a request for timed parking in front of the Burrill Lake shopping complex (No. 119 Princes Hwy) and part of No. 30 Balmoral Road to maximise parking efficiency and improve traffic flow.

Council staff have recently conducted a site inspection with a member of the Burrill Lake Community Association (BLCA), taking note of existing signage, current parking restrictions and the road condition. From this inspection, it was noted that timed parking could be implemented at this location. Due to the limited parking provisions and turnover, Council is proposing the installation of timed parking restrictions along Balmoral Road to improve safety and short-term parking flexibility.

Details of Submission:

The proposed changes shown on the attached plan include replacing the existing “No Parking – Vehicles under 6m Excepted” signage with the following.

· ‘1/4P’ (15-minute restriction) – approximately 2 parking spaces.

· ‘1P’ (1-hour restriction) – approximately 2 parking spaces.

The remaining unrestricted parking for vehicles under 6m is proposed to remain unaltered.

Consultation:

Consultation has been undertaken with adjacent residents, other stakeholders, the BLCA and closed on the 27th of October 2023. To date, Council has received five (5) submissions, two (2) submissions were ‘in favour’, one (1) ‘opposed’, and two (2) supported the proposal, but with some changes.

The submission opposing the proposal was in support of the ‘1P’ parking restrictions, but did not support parking restrictions of less than thirty minutes. Council is proposing to proceed with the ‘1/4P’ parking restriction for these two spaces to keep the measures consistent with similar parking restrictions throughout Burril Lake.

Two other submissions supported the proposal but would like to see more of the ‘unrestricted’ zones being turned into timed parking. Council is proposing to proceed with the proposal as is before assessing whether further timed restrictions are warranted.

Risk Implications:

This proposal aims to enhance the flexibility of parking and encourage quicker turnover of vehicles in ‘peak’ periods, leading to a safer and less congested parking situation at Balmoral Road. This is viewed to be a low-impact proposal as there is ample on-street parking along the remainder of Balmoral Road.

Financial Implications:

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

TC23.55 Signage, Linemarking and Raised Kerb Blisters - DA22/1716 - Wason Street - Ulladulla (PN 3789)

HPERM Ref: D23/447594

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. PN 3789 Plan ⇩

Recommendation

That:

1. The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed parking signage, linemarking and raised kerb blisters at Wason Street, Ulladulla as per D23/441117.

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

Background:

APPLICANT: Westlake Punnett & Associates Pty Ltd

OWNER: Shoalhaven City Council

As part of DA22/1716, approval is being sought for new regulatory parking signs, linemarking and raised kerb blisters on Wason Street, Ulladulla, associated with the development of the Ulladulla Harbour Raised Boardwalk project. To accommodate two raised kerb blisters on Wason Street, adjustments to the existing parking arrangements are required.

Related Condition of Consent:

29. Kerb Blister – Wason St

Prior to the issue of a Construction Certificate, certified engineering design plans and specifications must be prepared by a professional engineer, (as defined in the National Construction Code) or surveyor and approved by the Certifier.

The kerb blister design must comply with the following:

a) Provide minimum lane width of 3.5m or as otherwise agreed by the Roads Asset Manager or delegate between the edge of the blister and the centreline marking.

b) Align with the existing crossing point on the opposite side of Wason St.

31. Design Standards – Traffic Committee Referral

Prior to the issue of a Construction Certificate details of proposed traffic management and traffic control devices must be submitted to the satisfaction of Council for referral and endorsement of the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee.

Note: This process can take six to eight weeks.

Details of Submission:

This proposal consists of the installation of two raised kerb blisters on Wason Street, and the adjustment of the current parking arrangements. The existing signpost that currently designates ‘1P’ timed ‘45-degree’ angle parking restrictions on the west side and ‘parallel’ parking on the east side will be moved approximately 3 meters towards the western end of the raised kerb blister.

The sign indicating ‘parallel’ parking will be taken down from this post and replaced with ‘No Stopping’ controls, which will be applied to the east side and across both kerb blisters. A new signpost is proposed for the eastern end of the raised kerb blister, aligning with the ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the west side and allowing for ‘1P’ time restricted parallel parking on the east side. As a result of this proposal, one ‘45-degree’ angle parking space and one ‘parallel’ parking space will be removed.

Consultation:

Consultation with adjacent residents, stakeholders and the Ulladulla & Districts Community Forum closed on 20 July 2022. No specific concerns were raised regarding the signage, linemarking and kerb blisters that form part of this submission.

Risk Implications:

The works are proposed to improve connectivity to the Ulladulla Harbour raised boardwalk and address pedestrian safety at the crossing onto Wason Street. This kerb blister will assist in reducing the pedestrian crossing time and distance, and in increasing visibility.

Financial Implications:

The proposal would be funded by grant funding streams provided to Council by:

· NSW DPIE – Public Spaces Legacy Program.

· Department of Infrastructure Projects – Building Better Regions Fund 5.
