TF26.3 Residential Subdivision (217 lots) - 104 Taylors Lane - Badagarang - SF10804 - (PN 3882)

HPERM Ref: D26/42376

Ms Donna Binns – TfNSW noted that the plans submitted were based on an older approval and that guidance for movement and place treatments in NSW has been updated. She recommended that Council/the Developer refer to the Design of Roads and Streets (DORAS) manual and the current AS 1742.2 (2022) when considering contemporary safety improvements. She also advised that adding signs and linemarking could improve safety outcomes at this location.

Ms Donna Binns – TfNSW further noted that, as Road 10 will likely function as a collector road, the installation of Give Way (R1 2) signs and associated hold lines should be considered to align with AS 1742.2 application guidance and warrants. She notes that stencil concrete threshold areas and speed humps without linemarking may cause user uncertainty, and therefore signs and lines are recommended to support clarity and safety for all users.

Council Officers note that the submission complies with the valid development consent and relevant standards referenced by that consent. TfNSW’s recommendations regarding additional Give Way (R1 2) signs, hold lines and linemarking are acknowledged as potential safety enhancements; however, they are not mandated in this context and may be considered at Council’s discretion or through future operational review. The proposed threshold (material change) treatments are consistent with current guidance and the consented design. Officers also note the Transport Forum’s role is to confirm compliance with consent and applicable standards and to record advisory recommendations; it does not vary or re condition approved designs.

Recommendation

That:

1. The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Local Transport has reviewed the proposed residential subdivision (217 lots) associated with the development application (SF10804) at 104 Taylors Lane, Badagarang, as per signage plan No. D26/35616

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

RECOMMENDATION (By consent)

That:

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

This recommendation was approved by the Director City Services 24 February 2026.
