HPERM Ref: D25/508013

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. D25/443544 – Traffic Management Plan (TMP) & Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) ⇩

Reason for Report:

This report is being submitted to the Shoalhaven Local Transport Forum for consideration of the proposed Traffic Management Plans (TMP) & Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) for the Huskisson Santa Ride 2025.

Recommendation

That:

1. The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Local Transport Forum has reviewed the proposed Traffic Management Plans (TMP) & Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) for the Huskisson Santa Ride 2025 as per the TMP & TGS No. D25/443544 as per the above attachments, and recommends the following amendments:

a. Update the TMP and TGS to reflect the timing of the proposed road closures.

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

Background:

The 2025 Santa Ride is a community cycling event aimed at raising funds for local charities while promoting community engagement and festive spirit. As a major fundraiser for the Huskisson Rural Fire Service (RFS) & Jervis Bay Marine Rescue unit, the Santa Ride has been an annual event for many years. The event is a gathering of cyclists, in Santa suits, who ride together from White Sands Park, Huskisson to Jervis Bay Brewing Co., in a convoy led by a lead fire truck and following the convoy with another fire truck and traffic Ute. The main cycling event is proposed to take place on 13 December 2025 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm, with post race entertainment continuing until 11:00pm. Local Transport Forum review is required for the temporary traffic management measures required to facilitate the Santa Ride for cyclist and pedestrian safety.

Details of Submission:

1. Road Closures

13 December 2025 - 14 December 2025 (Stage 1)

- Duranbah Drive from Snapper Road to Bolten Road: 9:00am (13 December 2025) to 11:00am (14 December 2025) – 26 Hour Road Closure (approximately)

13 December 2025 (Stage 2)

- Multiple Streets within Huskisson (refer to TGS): 11:00am to 4:00pm – 5 Hour Road Closure (approximately)

2. Transportation, Awareness of Event and Access

PARKING: According to the Santa Ride website, there is parking available at Woollamia Business Park. The event is expected to attract local participant’s and approximately 95% of all participants ride to the event. This has been observed consistently over the last 15 years. Any participant who decides to get dropped off, will do so at the dedicated drop-off zone.

ACCESS/AWARENESS: There has not been any signage proposed on the TGS to indicate the locations of parking areas. Pre-warning with Variable Message Board (VMS) will be installed at the intersection of Jervis Bay Road and Huskisson Road one week prior to the event commencing.

Risk Implications:

1. Parking Limitations and Potential Congestion: The event is proposed to take place on 13 December 2025, 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: 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.

Consultation:

The event organiser has proposed traffic management for the proposed event following consultation and assessments from the respective stakeholders. A letter box drop will be communicated to all impacted residents within the vicinity of affected areas.

This will ensure that local residents will be made fully aware of the time frames of the event and associated impacts and how they will be mitigated in the event of any possible complications.

Financial Implications:

This event is funded by the event organiser (Huskisson RFS) and there will be no immediate financial implications to Council.

At this stage, the works are scheduled to take place between 1 January 2026 and 31 January 2026.

Details of Submission:

Road Closures

No complete road closures are proposed during the period of roadworks. Instead, the changed traffic conditions will be monitored and regulated by traffic controllers to allow for the safety of all road users.

GREENWELL POINT ROAD: No lane closures are proposed for Greenwell Point Road. Traffic will be regulated by temporary traffic signals and traffic controllers.

JERVIS STREET: The North bound lane on Jervis Street, adjacent to the school will be closed from the intersection with Greenwell Point Road to approximately 20m South of the schools Northern boundary. Traffic will be regulated by temporary traffic signals and traffic controllers. Both lanes will be open during school zone times when required (8:00am – 9:30am & 2:30pm – 4:00pm). Pedestrians will be assisted past the worksite by traffic controllers, and the work area is to be delineated at all times.

Risk Implications:

1. Parking Limitations and Potential Congestion:

The works are scheduled to take place predominantly during the summer school holidays which will limit the impact on parking and traffic associated with the school.

2. Resident Impact:

Access for local residents will be maintained for the duration of the works as per the Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) attached.

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.

Financial Implications:

Works are to be funded by the developer in accordance with consent and as such there will be no financial implications to Council.
