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.

TC25.27 Signage, Linemarking and Traffic Management Facilities - Lot 11 DP1264810 & Lot 38 DP829129 - Bishop Drive - Mollymook Beach - MA24/1205 - PN(3852)

HPERM Ref: D25/273861

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. D25/257009 - Signage & Linemarking Plans ⇩

Reason for Report:

The reason for this report is to seek Shoalhaven Traffic Committee approval for the proposed signage, linemarking and Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) devices associated with the development application (MA24/1205) at the intersection of Bishop Drive and Proposed Road (Avondale Circuit) as per Plan No. D25/257009.

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 line marking associated with the development (per development consent condition(s) 27), as per Plan No. D25/257009.

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

Background:

Applicant: Rygate & West

Owner: Hazcorp Pty Ltd

Bishop Drive, Mollymook Beach - Lot 11 DP1264810 & LOT 38 DP829129 - 90 Lot Residential Subdivision

Traffic Committee’s approval is being sought for the proposed installation of regulatory signage, linemarking and traffic management facilities associated with development application (MA24/1205) for the construction of intersection turning treatments as part of a 90 residential lot subdivision at Bishop Drive and Proposed Road (Avondale Circuit), Mollymook.

As per Condition 27 of the development consent SF9665 (and latest modification MA24/1205), the following is required:

27. Long-term Intersection Treatment

The intersection of the 28 metre wide access road with the link road shall be designed to the standard of an RTA type AUL for the left turn and a type AUR for the right turn and constructed to Council standards. The intersection works shall not conflict with the proposed intersection works for the subdivision on the opposite side of the link road. Intersection lighting shall be provided to the Australian Standards. Guardrail or similar protective device shall be provided in accordance with RTA standards.

Note: Given Auxiliary Right (AUR) intersections are no longer wholly supported by AUSTROADS, the intersection design has been replaced with a Channelised Right (CHR) and Auxiliary Left (AUL) design per AUSTROADS Guide to Road Design Part 4A: Unsignalised and Signalised Intersections.

A signage and line marking plan has been submitted to the Committee for consideration.

Details of Submission:

Condition 27 of the development consent requires the design and construction of a compliant AUL and AUR intersection at the intersection of Bishop Drive and the internal subdivision access road. Due to AUR intersections no longer being wholly supported by AUSTROADS, the intersection design has been replaced with a CHR and AUL design per AUSTROADS Guide to Road Design Part 4A: Unsignalised and Signalised Intersections. A pedestrian refuge has also been incorporated into the treatment due to the crossing width of Bishop Drive. This, however, was not a condition of consent.

Consultation:

Consultation was undertaken for the original development application in accordance with Council’s policies at the time, before being approved in 2006. Council's Planning and Development Services Team approved this development on 28 December 2006.

Risk Implications:

The proposed measures are expected to assist in improving traffic and pedestrian safety on Bishop Drive and the intersection with the subdivision access road. No further risks are associated with this proposal. Furthermore, the works are stipulated in a valid development consent. Undue prevention of, delay to, or alteration to the completion of requirements of the consent may expose Council to legal action.

Financial Implications:

The implementation of this proposal will be funded by the private developer and there will be no immediate financial implications to Council. However, Council will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of these assets.
