Details

Applicant: Rygate and West Pty Ltd

Owner: Ashleigh Developments Pty Ltd

Lot 400 DP1243547 - 35 Corks Lane - Milton - Residential Subdivision

As per Condition 8(d) of the development consent (DS19/1162), the following is required:

Condition 8.d): to enter into an agreement with and to the reasonable satisfaction of Council, prior to the issue of a Construction Certificate, for Stage 7 for the applicant to construct within the road reserve in Corks Lane a sealed six (6) metre carriageway with 0.5 metre gravel shoulders linking Corks Lane up to the existing road construction formation in front of the St Mary’s Primary School land together with associated road drainage works and two standard sized “no right turn” signs at the intersection of the Highway with Corks Lane.

TC21.33 Parking Restrictions and Linemarking - Woollamia Boat Ramp Car Park - Frank Lewis Way - Woollamia (PN 3654)

HPERM Ref: D21/181695

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. PN 3654 Plans ⇩

Recommendation

That the Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the parking restrictions and linemarking at the Woollamia Boat Ramp Carpark and along Frank Lewis Way / Coulon Street, per Plan No: D21/181841.

Background:

Council has received further feedback from the community regarding the Woollamia Boat Ramp Car Park. As a result of this feedback, Council is proposing the installation of parking restrictions (both internal and external to the car park, along Frank Lewis Way / Coulon Street) and linemarking.

Details of Submission:

The extent of this proposal is as follows:

Item 1: ‘Give Way’ Signage and Parking Restrictions at the intersections of Frank Lewis Way, Coulon Street, and the entry/exit to the Woollamia Boat Ramp Car Park

Council has received concerns regarding parking congestion at the entry and exit to the Woollamia Boat Ramp Car Park. Vehicles parking within these segments of the road restrict manoeuvrability and limit sight distance for drivers using the carpark. To resolve this issue, Council proposes to install approximately 15m of “No Stopping” zones to the north and south of the entry and exit to the carpark. This will be achieved through a combination of R5-400 “No Stopping” signage and C3 “No Stopping” yellow linemarking. Furthermore, the installation of “Give Way” signage and associated linemarking is proposed at the intersection of Frank Lewis Way and the carpark exit to increase safety at this intersection.

Item 2: Adjustment to Existing Parking Restrictions within Woollamia Boat Ramp Car Park

As the Committee may be aware, parking restrictions at this location were previously consulted with the community. This resulted in the endorsement for 33 spaces within the carpark to be restricted by modified R5-40 signs, indicating “No Parking // Cars with Trailers Excepted” (per TC20.53 – Proposed Parking Restrictions - Woollamia Boat Ramp Carpark - Frank Lewis Way – Woollamia (PN 3625)).

Council has now been asked to consider the modification of these parking restrictions to accommodate usage by other vehicle combinations and classes outside of the peak usage periods. Council has investigated this matter and is thus proposing to modify all existing R5-40 signage to contain the following restriction: “No Parking // Cars with Trailers Excepted // 5am – 3pm”.

This proposal will allow for the specific use of these spaces by vehicles with trailers during the hours of 5am to 3pm while allowing for unrestricted parking outside of these hours. As such, this proposal will facilitate a more efficient use of the parking facilities at this location, whilst ensuring that priority is given to cars with trailers during the hours of peak use.

Item 3: Internal Linemarking and Disabled Parking within the Woollamia Boat Ramp Car Park

In accordance with the proposed Foreshore Landscape Plans and Facility Upgrades to the Woollamia Boat Ramp Car Park, the following measures are proposed:

i. The installation of a new accessible space adjacent to the existing space at the entrance to the Boat Ramp Car Park. This will incorporate all necessary signage and linemarking per AS2890.6 – Off-Street Parking for People with Disabilities and shall be in accordance with AS1428 – Design for Access and Mobility.

ii. Due to proposed modifications to the northern kerb and foreshore area, Council proposes to modify the existing untie area and linemarking as per the attached plan. This proposal entails the retention of two 4.2m wide untie lanes and a 3.5m wide passing lane in accordance with Transport for NSW’s Boat Ramp Facility Guidelines. In addition, this proposal includes the installation of a 3.5m wide ‘drop off’ zone along the modified kerb line to facilitate the alighting/off-loading of passengers. This zone will be regulated through the installation of R5-40 “No Parking” signs, which functions in accordance with s168 of the NSW Road Rules 2014.

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

Consultation:

As previously raised with the Committee, extensive community consultation has been undertaken through the Woollamia Boat Launching Ramp Masterplan (SA20.17) and via several meetings held with relevant stakeholders on 4, 11 and 14 February 2020. The 140 submissions received as part of this consultation were subsequently considered in the adoption of the masterplan later that month.

Council has subsequently consulted with the Huskisson Woollamia Community Voice and stakeholders affected by this current proposal. To date, Council has received no objections.

Risk Implications:

This proposal will assist in improving traffic flow and reducing congestion within the car park, boat ramp access and at the entry / exits to the car park.

Financial Implications:

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

TC21.34 Proposed Edge Line Marking - Tapitallee Road - Tapitallee (PN 3655)

HPERM Ref: D21/181790

Convenor: David Pieresko

Attachments: 1. PN 3655 Plans ⇩

Recommendation

That the Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed edge line marking along Tapitallee Road, Tapitallee as per Plan No: D21/181863.

Background:

Shoalhaven City Council has received concerns regarding delineation along Tapitallee Road, Tapitallee.

Council staff have recently conducted a site inspection at this location, taking note of existing signage, sections of centreline marking and overall conditions of the road. Following the recent reseal and roadworks along Tapitallee Road from last year, it was noted that sections of this road would benefit from additional edge line delineation, in accordance with ‘Austroads Design Guide to Road Design: Part 3 – Geometric Design’. As a result, Council is proposing the installation of E1 edge line marking along Tapitallee Road.

Details of Submission:

The extent of this proposal would involve installing 500m of E1 edge line marking along the eastern edge of Tapitallee Road from the intersection with Illaroo Road and stopping before the southern edge of the Tapitallee Creek Bridge. This edge line marking will be installed approx. 3m from the centre of the road and will formalise a 3m southbound travel lane. From the northern edge of the Tapitallee Creek Bridge, a length of 210m of E1 edge line marking will be installed along the eastern edge of Tapitallee Road, terminating at the top of the northern crest.

However, Council wishes to advise that this line marking is purely for vehicular safety and does not serve to delineate a pedestrian thoroughfare. To that end, it is proposed to install W6-1 “Pedestrian (symbolic)” warning signs to provide additional awareness to vehicles of potential pedestrians travelling along this length.

Consultation:

Council commenced consultation with affected residents and the Cambewarra Residents & Ratepayers Association to discuss the proposal. To date, Council has not received any objections to the proposal.

Risk Implications:

The impact of this proposal would result in a safer, delineated travel path along this section of Tapitallee Road.

Financial Implications:

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

a) Southbound Traffic: A six (6) metre carriageway from the existing kerb to the centreline;

b) Northbound Traffic: A four and a half (4.5) metre carriageway from the kerb line to allow for a shared vehicle and cycle lane with parking restrictions. The kerb line shall be indented a further 1.5 metres to provide a bus stop on the uphill side of the access driveways to the site, together with any additional widening at the driveway entrance which is required in order to provide adequate access for service vehicles. The northern end of the pavement widening shall be tapered at 1 in 10 to the existing edge of seal to the north of the site; and

c) The centreline of The Basin Road shall also be line marked from The Wool Road to the northern end of the pavement taper, north of the site.

Additionally, under Condition 27(f) of the consent:

Condition 27 (f) – The developer/ applicant shall, submit a design for a pedestrian refuge to Council, in accordance with Austroads guidelines and Australian Standards, on The Wool Road to the west of the intersection of The Basin Road. The subject refuge, associated street lighting, road signage and linemarking shall be constructed to the satisfaction of Council prior to the issue of Occupation Certificate for Stage 3C (lots 54-80) of this development. The location of the refuge at the intersection shall allow for all turning movements of a 12.5m large rigid truck with a design speed of 5-15km/h (in accordance with Austroads guidelines) without crossing the centreline of either road.

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

Consultation:

Council approved this development application on 24 June 1996, subject to the conditions applied in the Development Consent (discussed herein).

Risk Implications:

There are no risk implications to Council regarding this signage and line marking plan.

Financial Implications:

There are no financial implications to Council regarding this signage and linemarking plan, as this is a private development.
