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:

NSW Police Force
TfNSW
Shoalhaven City Council
Local State Member of Parliament (for the location of the issue to be voted upon)

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.

TC24.21 No Stopping Regulations - Forest Road - Turn Around Area - Comberton (PN 3815)

HPERM Ref: D24/372752

Convenor: Bianca van der Merwe

Attachments: 1. D24/372766 - Signage & Linemarking Plan ⇩

Reason for Report:

The purpose of this report is to seek Shoalhaven Traffic Committee approval for the proposed parking restrictions at the turn around area located on Forest Rd adjacent to the intersection with the Princes Highway.

Recommendation

That:

1. The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed “No Stopping” signage and supplementary yellow “No Stopping” (NS1) linemarking within the Forest Road turn loop, Comberton as per Plan No. D24/372766.

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

Background:

A local bus company reported that buses can’t turn around properly when cars are parked on the inside of the loop provided as a turnaround area on Forest Rd adjacent to the intersection with the Princes Highway. Bus companies are required to use the loop as part of their school routes. The loop is a popular parking location for commuter travellers that carpool from the villages of Callala Beach, Callala Bay and Currarong.

The original design didn’t include parking inside the loop.

Details of Submission:

The proposed solution to further formalise the intent of the original design;

- No Stopping: “No Stopping” (R5-400 L+R) signage and supplementary yellow “No Stopping” (NS1) linemarking along the inside edge of bus loop.

This will result in parking continuing to be available on the outside of the loop with parking being prohibited on the inside.

Consultation:

Council requested comment from nearby residents and stakeholders including Callala Bay, Callala Beach & Currarong CCB. No responses were received.

Risk Implications:

By installing the recommended ‘No Stopping’ signs, Council aims to increase compliance, safety, turning area widths (for large vehicles), and traffic efficiency along Forest Road.

Financial Implications:

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

TC24.22 Wandandian - Community Expo & Annual Woodchop Exhibition 2024 - (PN 3819)

HPERM Ref: D24/427414

Convenor: Bianca van der Merwe

Attachments: 1. D24/427424 - Traffic Guidance Scheme ⇩

Reason for Report:

The reason for this report is to seek Shoalhaven Traffic Committee approval for the Traffic Guidance Scheme proposed for the Community Expo & Annual Woodchop Exhibition at Wandandian.

Recommendation

That:

1. The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed traffic guidance scheme (TGS) for the Community Expo & Annual Woodchop Exhibition at Wandandian as per Plan No. D24/427424.

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

Background:

The Wandandian Expo 2024 is a vibrant community event filled with activities for all ages, taking place on 20 October 2024. Starting at the Wandandian Progress Hall, the expo features a woodchop competition, a classic car show, community-run stalls, family-friendly activities like face painting, and food and coffee vans. With raffles and free entry for the public, this event celebrates local talent and community spirit.

Details of Submission:

1. Road Closures

No road closures for the event, however part of the Princes Highway and Wandean Road will be slowed to 40 km/h for the duration of the event.

2. Transportation, Awareness of Event and Access

PUBLIC TRANSPORT: The applicant has clarified that there are no public transport services in Wandandian over weekends. As such, the event’s use of the bus stop and associated area will not impact any potential bus services and is generally acceptable. Notwithstanding, the applicant has not considered a public transport strategy to provide additional bus pickups / drop offs to the site.

PARKING: There is dedicated parking available for this event at nearby parcels of private land, the applicant has provided owner’s consents for all lots to be used for parking. There are five disabled parking spaces available on-site, and they will be clearly signposted at the main entrance area.

ACCESS/AWARENESS: There has not been any signage proposed on the TGS to indicate the locations of parking areas. The applicant has not clarified whether additional ‘event signage’ will be deployed within the area or along the Princes Highway to provide further awareness of the event and parking areas to be accessed.

Risk Implications:

1. Parking Limitations and Potential Congestion:

The event is proposed to take place on 20 October, 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 Wandandian.

2. Local Business and Resident Impact:

Events can impact local businesses and residents negatively. Speed limit reductions 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.

3. Pedestrian Safety:

Based on the applicant’s TGS, pedestrians will be crossing at the refuge island along Princes Highway to access the event, as well as one crossing of Wandean Road. There is no infrastructure on Wandean Road to assist with the crossing point.

Consultation

The event organiser has commenced consultation closing before the event. Due to the timeframe available between closing of consultation and the event taking place, this report is brought forward for consideration, unaware of the responses.

Financial Implications:

This event is funded by the event organiser (Yila Healing Trail) and there will be no financial implications to Council.
