General Business

· No Pedestrian Crossing in Main St of Huskisson

Ms Liza Butler – MP for South Coast raised concerns and safety issues that in the main street of Huskisson there are no pedestrian crossings. It was advised that grant funding has been received from TfNSW and implementing pedestrian crossings is in the design phase however, community consultation will be undertaken to seek feedback on the options and locations prior to installation.

· Speed Limit in Depot Beach

Ms Butler raised concerns regarding the current speed limit in Depot Beach near the National Park and camping area. There has been feedback from residents nearby of near misses frequently and have requested for the speed limit to be reduced to 40km p/h. It was further noted that the National Park and the Ministers Office are in agreeance with this request. TfNSW advised on the ‘Have Your Say Portal’ you can log your feedback and this will go through the review process by TfNSW.

The reason for this report is to seek Shoalhaven Traffic Committee approval for the proposed

Berry Celtic Festival Street Parade (24 May 2025) at Berry as per Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) No. D25/133376 and D25/133378.

Recommendation

That

1. The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed Berry Celtic Festival Street Parade (24 May 2025) at Berry as per Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) No. D25/133376 and D25/133378.

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

Background

The Berry Celtic Festival Street Parade is proposed to take place on the 24 May 2025. The event is a street parade held along Queen and Alexandra Streets, Berry. According to the Guide to Traffic and Transport Management for Special Events, this event is classified as a ‘Class 2’ event that will require altered traffic arrangements throughout the duration of its activities with multiple local road traffic restrictions and closures.

The parade is an annual event that attracts between 500 to 1000 onlookers, predominantly from Berry. The participants of the parade include representatives from the Celtic community groups, pipe bands, local charities, and schools. As such, the proposed Management Plan (TMP) and Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) are attached for the committees’ consideration.

Details of Submission

1. Road Closures

Southbound traffic in Queen Street will be detoured at 9:30am into Albert Street and then re-routed to Queen Street at Albany Street – refer TGS attached.

Northbound Traffic in Queen Street will be detoured at 9:30am into Albany Street (both ways).

Motorists enroute to Sydney will continue into Albert Street and re-join Princes Highway from Albert Street. Motorists heading towards Shoalhaven Heads/Gerroa will be detoured right into Albany Street and detour signs directing them to Prince Alfred Street.

Both Princess Street and Victoria Street intersections with Alexandra Street will have soft road closures and Authorised Traffic Controllers to allow any vehicles to pass without risk to parade participants. There will be a detour of approximately 30-60 minutes to motorists, whilst the parade passes.

2. Event Infrastructure

NSW Ambulance, Police and Fire Brigade: The road closures allow for emergency vehicle access. NSW Ambulance, Police and Fire Brigade will be informed of changed conditions by Event organisers. A copy of the TMP will be provided for their information and they are invited to contact the event organisers at any time

Medical: There are paramedics onsite for the duration of the event, however NSW ambulance is aware of the event. First Aid Station is at the Berry Showground.

Port-A-Loos: No additional conveniences will be provided as the event is of half hour duration and there are local toilet facilities in Apex Park, Alexandra Street, and Berry Showground

Cleaning/Disposal: It is not envisaged that the event will cause additional pressure on street garbage bins.

Barricades: Traffic Management to be installed by Accredited Traffic Controllers.

3. Transportation, Awareness of Event and Access

Public Transport: The impacts to public transport are expected to be minimal during the parade.

Parking: Parking of event participants will be made available in the showground. Alternative parking is available on local streets and in the public carparks close by.

Access/Awareness: Access will only be restricted during the physical running of the event (estimated to be 30-60 minutes). Provision of emergency access will be maintained at all times, by placing marshals along detour routes who are in radio/telephone contact with escort vehicles and Traffic Supervisory staff. All local residents and businesses will be notified of the event and altered traffic conditions by a letterbox drop directly to their place of residence or business.

Risk Implications

1. Parking Limitations and Potential Congestion

The event is proposed to take place over the weekend in May, 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 Berry.

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.

Financial Implications

This event is funded by the event organiser (Rotary Club of Berry) and there will be no financial implications to Council.

Details of Submission

Proposed change to parking conditions:

· ‘No Parking’ signage: Add “Pick up & Drop Off Only” text to existing ‘No Parking’ signage to reinforce the drop-off zone functionality along Cyrus Street, opposite 47 Cyrus Street.

Financial Implications

Risk Implications

1. Parking Limitations and Potential Congestion

The events are proposed to take place over the long weekend in April, 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 the LGA.

2. Local Business and Resident Impact

Financial Implications:

The temporary traffic control measures will be implemented by each respective event organiser.
