1. Introduction

1.1 Background

The Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy for the North Sydney Local Government Area (LGA), identified the need to develop Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) action plans. These plans provide specific measures to maintain and improve traffic access and parking. There are seven LATM zones within the North Sydney LGA with three located on the west of the Warringah Freeway and four to the east, as seen in Figure 1.1.

Source: Adapted from Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2015)

Figure 1.1: LATM Zone Overview Map

Bitzios Consulting was commissioned by North Sydney Council to undertake an analysis of the four LATM zones to the east of the Warringah Freeway, including the following suburbs:

Cammeray (majority); Cremorne; Cremorne Point; Kirribilli; Kurraba Point; Neutral Bay; and North Sydney (partly).

LATM Action Plan Zone 5  

North Sydney Council   Page 2  

This report focuses on LATM Zone 5, located in the northern section of the North Sydney LGA. LATM Zone 5 lies predominantly within the suburb Cremorne although it does not include the section of Cremorne to the south of Military Road, and includes small sections of Cammeray (Cammeray Golf Club) and Neutral Bay (bounded by Warringah Freeway, Ernest Street, Military Road, and Grosvenor Street). The zone generally is bounded by:

the Warringah Freeway to the west; Cammeray Golf Club in line with Grasmere Road to the north-west; the Cammeray/Cremorne Suburb boundary between Grasmere Road and Wyong Road to the north

and north-west; Macpherson Street to the east; and Military Road to the south.

The extent of LATM Zone 5 is shown in Figure 1.2.

2.1 ScopeandMethodology

This study has been divided into the following key components:

review of LATM Zone 5 context and assessment of current traffic and transport issues; assessment of emerging issues and expected developments, modal shifts and changes in traffic and

parking demands in LATM Zone 5; summarising Council’s current list of traffic actions for LATM Zone 5; identification of additional traffic actions for LATM Zone 5 drawn from detailed analysis of available

data and site inspections; development of a prioritised list of actions for LATM Zone 5; and review of key on-street parking areas for LATM Zone 5, and development of a priority list for detailed

parking surveys.

The study relies upon data provided by North Sydney Council in conjunction with site investigations. Where data has not been available, potential traffic issues and modal conflict issues have been identified based on site observations and public feedback submissions by residents.

2.2 StudyObjectives

2.2.1 2013‐2023NorthSydneyCommunityStrategicPlan(2013)

The North Sydney Community Strategic Plan was developed by Council in consultation with the community of North Sydney LGA. This plan was revised from the identified priorities and strategies in 2009 for North Sydney to cover a 10-year horizon from 2013 to 2023.

The plan is a broad strategy for the whole North Sydney LGA and does not identify by individual wards. To provide unified vision across the whole LGA, the plan identified five key directions:

Direction 1 – Our Living Environment; Direction 2 – Our Built Environment; Direction 3 – Our Economic Vitality; Direction 4 – Our Social Vitality; and Direction 5 – Our Civic Leadership.

These key directions clearly categorise the community strategic goals for North Sydney by identifying the desired outcomes and the strategies to achieve these outcomes. The plan also identifies indicators, to measure the progress of the strategies. The relevant objectives from the CSP are:

1.2 Quality urban greenspaces; 2.1 Infrastructure, assets and facilities that meet community needs; 2.3 Vibrant, connected and well maintained streetscapes and villages that build a sense of community; 2.5 Sustainable transport is encouraged; 2.6 Improved traffic management; 2.7 Improved parking options and supply; 4.7 Community is active and healthy; and 4.9 Enhanced community safety and accessibility.

2.2.2 NorthSydneyIntegratedTrafficandParkingStrategy(2015)

The North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy was developed to address the identified traffic and parking issues in the area and to rationalise the parking and traffic controls created by a range of factors, such as:

increase in car usage by the existing population; increase in the number of workers and visitors to the area; and increase in residential and commercial development in and around the

LGA. The Strategy proposed to manage traffic and parking matters within the LGA is based on seven (7) LATM Zones. No changes to the existing 33 resident parking areas are proposed under the adopted Strategy, however; parking restrictions within each of the (7) LATM Zones will be reviewed. It also introduces the concept of a scoring tool to assess the existing traffic and parking conditions. For traffic, cycling and pedestrian facilities the scoring considers a range of criteria including safety, traffic volumes, speed, pedestrian and cyclist volumes, activity generators, parking occupancy, parking turnover and alignment with the objectives of Council's Community Strategic Plan. For parking facilities, the methodology considers the existing parking supply, the surrounding land uses that generate parking demand, and occupancy and turnover rates, which are used to determine the most appropriate controls to apply to the existing parking supply to manage parking demand and reduce transfer of parking demand to surrounding streets within an area.

The North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy was adopted by Council in May 2015.

2.2.3 NorthSydneyIntegratedCyclingStrategy(2014)

The North Sydney Integrated Cycling Strategy aims to provide a high quality built environment conducive to walking and cycling and to provide safe, accessible, and connected walking and cycling routes along key strategic links. The strategy further aims to promote cycling as a sustainable transport option for North Sydney commuters.

The strategy assessed the existing cycling network and identified the issues, and subsequently identified upgrades required to mitigate the issues in unison with the North Sydney Community Strategy Plan.

Issues identified included:

incomplete cycling network connections; some difficult sections (e.g. steep grades) within the defined cycling routes; inconsistent and insufficient bicycle route signage; insufficient bicycle parking facilities; and the lack of safety when considering cyclists sharing road space with traffic.

The Integrated Cycling Strategy outlines five routes aimed at increasing the safety and connectivity of cycling infrastructure within the North Sydney LGA. One key proposed route was identified within LATM Zone 5 to increase the safety and connectivity of the cycling network of North Sydney. Figure 2.1 shows the proposed route, connecting Neutral Bay with the Harbour Bridge. The route begins at the intersection of Wyong Road and Macpherson Street along Ellalong Road before turning onto Lodge Road, including a section of off-road path connecting Ellalong Road to Lodge Road. The route continues in a general south-west direction along Ryries Parade, Samora Avenue, Tobruk Avenue, Brightmore Street, and Benelong Road. The route then changes direction several times between Grasmere Road, Young Street, Sutherland Street, Park Avenue, Ernest Street, and Merlin Street to access Falcon Street.

The strategy also included an implementation plan with cost estimates, timelines, and processes for stakeholder involvement in taking these routes forward.

The North Sydney Integrated Cycling Strategy was adopted by Council in July 2014.

The strategy also states that where there are no formal facilities for cyclists, Council will consider the needs of cyclists when designing any new traffic or pedestrian facilities.

2.2.4 DraftNorthSydneyTransportStrategy(2017)

The Draft North Sydney Transport Strategy (NSTS) is proposed as Council’s guiding document for the delivery of its transport planning and management functions. This includes strategic transport planning, transport advocacy and the delivery of local transport projects.

The NSTS builds on the directions, outcomes and strategies detailed in North Sydney’s Community Strategic Plan 2013-23 (CSP) and Ecologically Sustainable Development Best Practice Project 2014 (ESD) to create an over-arching transport planning and management framework for the whole of Council.

The Draft North Sydney Transport Strategy is scheduled for public exhibition in July 2017 and adoption by Council in late 2017.

2.2.5 PublicDomainStyleManualandDesignCodes(2016)

The North Sydney Public Domain Style Manual and Design Codes were developed, outlining the approaches to implement the public domain infrastructure improvements in North Sydney. The North Sydney LGA was divided into eight different precincts, with each precinct having a style and design guide to allow consistency and unison across the whole LGA. The North Sydney LGA precincts are shown in Figure 2.2.

The North Sydney Public Domain Style Manual and Design Codes were adopted by Council in November 2014 and amended in 2016.

The majority of the study area is defined as “Low Density Residential” with sections of “Medium Density Residential” off Macpherson Street and Belgrave Street. “High Density Residential” corridors run along both sides of Belgrave Street, Monford Place, off Military Road, Sutherland Street and Grasmere Lane to the west of Ben Boyd Road. “Mixed Use” development dominates the land use on the northern side of Military Road with a section of “High Density Residential” near Warringah Freeway, areas of “Public Recreation”, “Environmental Conservation” and “Environmental Living” dominate the land use around Willoughby Bay.

The LEP also defines the heritage items and conservation areas, as shown in Figure 3.3.

Source: North Sydney LEP (2013)

Figure 3.3: Heritage Items and Conservation Area

Two sections of conservation area are found in LATM Zone 5. These zones are the Montague Road Conservation Area (Area CA04) and the Oaks Conservation Area (CA05). Several heritage items are also contained in the western and central section of LATM Zone 5 including:

Redlands Senior College; St Peters Anglican Church; bus stop shelters; and a range of other properties.

3.2.2 NorthSydneyDevelopmentControlPlan(2013)

The North Sydney Development Control Plan (DCP) 2013 aims to ensure that development positively contributes to the quality of the natural and built environments as well as the quality of the site and its context. The DCP aims to ensure that the objectives of Council’s 2020 Vision – North Sydney Community Strategic Plan are achieved.

The DCP consists of three parts:

Part A – General Requirements (The general requirement of information required prior to an application lodgement);

Part B – Development Controls (The development controls to be complied with prior to approval); and

Part C – Area Character Statement (Additional controls to be complied with for specific area).

LATM Zone 5 is located within Section 5: North Cremorne Planning Area and Associated Localities, with a small area to the west located in Section 4: Cammeray Planning Area. The North Cremorne Planning Area is divided into smaller localities based on the corresponding land use, such as commercial areas, town centres, residential areas, and heritage conservation areas. The localities contained within LATM Zone 5 include:

Cremorne Town Centre (partial); Neutral Bay Town Centre (majority); Waters Neighbourhood (two sections); Northern Foreshores Neighbourhood; Benelong Neighbourhood; Oaks Avenue Conservation Area; and Montague Road Conservation Area.

The North Cremorne Planning Area and associated localities are shown in Figure 3.4.

3.3 RoadNetwork

3.3.1 RoadHierarchy

The Warringah Freeway borders the western side of the study area, with Military Road being the main east-west road, bringing traffic from Manly and the Northern Beaches towards Sydney and North Sydney. MacPherson Street is a north-south route to the east, but is not well connected with, most of the study area.

Military Road is a state road carrying substantial through and local traffic, connecting adjacent regions and connecting with local north-south roads.

Ernest Street, part of Ben Boyd Road, Belgrave Street, Gerard Street, and part of MacPherson Street are classified secondary regional roads. Ernest Street, Belgrave Street, and Gerard Street provide an alternative east-west connection to the Mosman area and surrounds when Military Road experiences congestion.

Due to topography, no other main roads provide connections through the study area. Some local streets run in a relative grid pattern, particularly near the Neutral Bay commercial district, with parallel running streets in the immediate surrounds. Other local streets follow the contour of the terrain with some steep sections, particularly to the north east. Local road network and road hierarchy is shown in Figure 3.5, all following maps can be found in Appendix A.

3.3.3 SpeedData

Local roads within LATM Zone 5 have a posted speed limit of 50 km/h with some minor streets posted at 40 km/h and Military Road, a state road, posted at 60km/h. 40km/h Schools zone are in operation between 8:00AM-9:30AM and 2:30PM-4:00PM on school days on selected selections of the following roads, namely:

Military Road; Belgrave Street/Carter Street; Winnie Street; and Waters Road

Speed data from 2011 to 2016 was analysed by calculating the “weighted average” of the hourly 85th percentile speed relative to the hourly traffic volumes. The results indicate in the majority of locations, the surveyed 85th percentile speeds are below the respective posted speed limit. The location and results of the speed surveys are summarised in Table 3.2.

3.3.4 CrashData

Crash data was summarised for the period from 2011 to 2015. Figure 3.6 shows a ‘heat map’ distribution of crashes within LATM zone 5 for this time period, with the Warringah Freeway omitted from the analysis. Clustering can be seen along Military Road, and connecting roads. The road identified to experience the most crashes are:

Belgrave Street; Ben Boyd Road; Ernest Street; Military Road (state road); Winnie Street; and Young Street.

Figure 3.7 shows the severity of crashes within LATM Zone 5 by location, noting that the Warringah Freeway has been excluded from the analysis. The data shows that there was one fatal crash recorded within LATM Zone 5, located on Ben Boyd Road, between 2011 and 2015

The crash data summary presented in Table 3.3 shows that:

a total of 229 crashes were reported within the five-year period (2011-2015), at an average rate of 46 crashes a year within Zone 5;

of all reported crashes, there were 20 involving pedestrians; less than 20% of crashes occurred during wet road conditions; approximately 40% of the crashes were recorded along Military Road; 47% of the crashes reported involved casualties; around 32% of crashes occurred during AM (6am-9pm) and PM (4pm-7pm) commuter traffic; and 24% of crashes occurred on the weekend.

Total 229 - 20

Crashes along council roads show clusters around key intersection along Military Road, Ben Boyd Road, and Belgrave Street, as can be seen in Figure 3.6 and Figure 3.7. The majority of crashes occurred in and around intersections. For the fatal crash that occurred, the relevant details are:

13/10/2014 occurred at the intersection of Ben Boyd Road and Grosvenor Lane where a car hit a cyclist while turning right.

Based on the crash data, key locations subject to detailed analysis in LATM Zone 5 (excluding Military Road (state-controlled)) were Ben Boyd Road, Ernest Street and Young Street.

The intersections of Ben Boyd Road / Ernest Street and Ben Boyd Road / Belgrave Street had 10 crashes between 2011 and 2015. Six of these crashes were due to the vehicle proceeding in the lane hitting another vehicle or object. A number of feedback submissions show requests for traffic calming facilities and intersection safety improvements.

Ernest Street between Merlin Street and Park Avenue, had 12 crashes between 2011 and 2015. There is no apparent connection or similarities linking these crashes. Several to public feedback submissions raise concerns over pedestrian and traffic concerns at this location.

The intersection of Young Street / Belgrave Street had 14 crashes between 2011 and 2015. Seven of these crashes involved vehicles from the adjacent direction hitting a vehicle proceeding through the intersection. Only one crash involved a pedestrian and only two involved injuries. This location’s crashes correlate with public consultation feedback, raising concerns over traffic calming and intersection safety.

Approximately 40% of all crashes that are within LATM Zones 5 and 6 occur on Military Road. Particular clusters of crashes can be seen at the western end of Military Road (57 crashes), near the Warringah Freeway, at the intersection with Ben Boyd Road (31 crashes), west of the intersection with Wycombe Road (23 crashes), the intersection of Rangers Road (14 crashes), and the intersection with Murdoch Street (25 crashes).

3.4 PublicTransportNetwork

3.4.1 BusRoutesandBusStops

Bus services run mainly along Military Road, with local bus routes travelling along Earle Street, Young Street, Benelong Road, Brightmore Street, Grasmere Road, Winnie Street, MacPherson Street, and Gerard Street. These local routes connect with neighbouring suburbs. Three local bus routes operate through the study area. A map of the local bus routes are shown in Figure 3.8. Military Road carries many services from northern Sydney, connecting suburbs north of the study area, to North Sydney and the CBD.

3.5 WalkingNetwork

North Sydney Council has provided a walking network throughout LATM 5 which allows pedestrians to access various public transport facilities as well as historic sites. North Sydney Council is working to improve pedestrian accessibility and make North Sydney more ‘walkable’. The Community Strategic Plan identified needs for improvements for pedestrian safety and sustainable transport. Further, pedestrian and cycle paths produced some of the highest dissatisfaction ratings amongst services for residents based on public feedback. Any traffic and parking strategies proposed as part of this study will consider the impacts to pedestrians.

3.6 CycleNetwork

A collaboration between Northern Sydney Councils produced a map of recommended cycling routes throughout the study area, North Sydney LGA and neighbouring LGAs of northern Sydney. An extract of the routes within the study area is shown in Figure 3.9.

Source: Northern Sydney Cycling Map (2012)

Figure 3.9: Existing Cycle Routes

Very few cycling routes currently exist through LATM Zone 5, with most routes being marked as on-road paths. A small section of off-road cycling path exists though Cammeray Golf Course and along Ernest Street from Warringah Freeway and along Park Avenue up to Sutherland Street, to the east of the study area.

 

Page 28: P2945.002R North Sydney LATM Action Plan Zone 5 Final · 3.7 Parking Demands 23 3.8 Public Consultation 25 3.9 Key Developments / Traffic Generators 30 3.9.1 Travel Patterns (JTW)

LATM Action Plan Zone 5  

North Sydney Council   Page 23  

Recommended on-road routes include along both Earle Street and Sutherland Street and up to Young Street. Both routes then converge on Benelong Road/Brightmore Street and are aligned north-westward along Tobruk Avenue, Samora Avenue, Ryries Parade, Lodge Road, and Ellalong Road up to Macpherson Street.

A section on Sutherland Street from Young Street to Ben Boyd Road has been identified as a steep/difficult grade for cyclists. However, a separated cycle path is currently under construction along this route.

Military Road, Ernest Street, Belgrave Street, and Gerard Street carry a high volume of traffic which presents safety issues for cyclists and detract from encouraging new cyclists.

3.7 ParkingDemands

On-street parking within North Sydney Council is split into 33 residential parking areas located across the LGA. LATM Zone 5 is comprises five areas, as shown in Figure 3.10 and listed below:

Area 20; Area 24; Area 25; Area 26; and Area 27.

The North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy designated each of the 33 residential parking areas into three categories, which are described as follows:

High Demand; Medium Demand; and Low Demand.

LATM Zone 5 encompasses all of Areas 24, 26, and 27 and parts of Area 20 and 25. Areas 24, 25, and 26 have relatively low parking demand due to their low density residential housing, however the proximity of these areas to trip generators including Cremorne and Neutral Bay shopping areas, Cammeray Park, Brightmore Reserve, Primrose Park and local bus stops can generate an increased demand for parking in some locations. Area 27 is “High Demand” parking due to it encompassing both Neutral Bay and Cremorne town centres which provide access to a variety of shops, as well as its proximity to Military Road. There are no streets within Parking Area 20 that fall within LATM Zone 5 as the boundary of Parking Area 20 encloses Cammeray Park.

The supply of parking also correlates with traffic generation. Walking, cycling, and public transport require significantly less destination parking than driving. Applying appropriate parking controls to the finite parking supply discourages car-based trips whilst enabling adequate turnover of the existing parking spaces so that those who do need to drive can actually find a parking space when they arrive. North Sydney Council implements a number of parking restrictions including metered and timed parking throughout the area in order to manage the parking.

3.8 PublicConsultation

An extensive public consultation engagement was undertaken by Council in 2016 to inform transport, traffic, and parking projects. The consultation methods included surveys, drop-in sessions and workshops and culminated in a comprehensive dataset of issues and suggested improvements pertaining to transport, traffic, and parking. The consultation data was analysed to establish key traffic and parking issues/suggestions for LATM Zone 5 as raised by the public.

For LATM Zone 5, Council received 654 submissions from 409 respondents. Of those submissions there were 945 specific traffic and transport related issues raised. Of those issues 35% were related to traffic generally, 30% were related to parking, 16% were related to walking, 10% were related to buses and 7% were related to cycling. The remaining 3% of issues were related to public transport, car share and specific developments.

Figure 3.11: Summary of Issues raised during Public Consultation – LATM Zone 5

While the dataset was filtered by Council using predefined themes, the data required further processing to identify key trends in issues and suggestions for further investigation. A broad set of issue descriptors was defined and assigned to each data entry to narrow-down the data and establish focus areas. The descriptors are detailed in Table 3.4.

3.9 KeyDevelopments/TrafficGenerators

3.9.1 TravelPatterns(JTW)

Journey to Work (JTW) travel patterns were assessed for an area representative of LATM Zone 5 to evaluate mode share and travel trends. The JTW data is split into individual travel zones which can be selected to evaluate travel trends in a specific area. The area of assessment is shown in Figure 3.14. It must be noted this data represents trips which originate and end in LATM Zone 5 and does not consider trips which pass through it.

Source: BTS JTW Explorer Interactive Map

Figure 3.14: Journey to Work Assessment

The travel patterns for residents in LATM Zone 5 taken from the year 2011 “Journey to Work” (JTW) (published by the Bureau of Transport Statistics and ABS) shows that:

4,278 people lived in LATM Zone 5 and worked, with 4,429 who worked within LATM Zone 5; the majority (39%) of JTW trips have a destination in the CBD; 28% of JTW trips remain within the North Sydney-Mosman area; 9% of JTW trips are towards the Chatswood-Lane Cove area; and the majority (35%) of workers within LATM Zone 5 travel from North Sydney-Mosman with a further 8%

workers travelling from Warringah and Chatswood-Lane Cove.

As shown in Figure 3.15, most trips from the study area are made using private vehicles (vehicle driver or vehicle passenger) with 50% of all trips. Public Transport is the next highest mode share with 39%, followed by walking at 7% of the mode share. Less than 4% of trips are made by bicycle.

3.9.2 KeyTripGenerators

North Sydney Council defined key pedestrian generators in four categories for the purpose of this study. The categories and the included features are:

Category 1 – Education; - Primary School; - High School; and - University/Tertiary Education.

Category 2 – Health and Care; - Retirement Village; - Aged Care Facility; and - Hospital.

Category 3 – Parks; - Major Parks; and - Minor Parks.

Category 4 – Shopping; - Major Shopping; and - Minor Shopping.

In addition to the above, the Orpheum Theatre (Entertainment) on Military Road / Parraween Street is a major trip attractor within LATM Zone 5.

Key trip generators are located on Military Road, and adjacent to Grosvenor Street and Grosvenor Lane. Extensive mixed use and commercial spaces present a range of shopping opportunities with high density residential development ensuring pedestrian activity.

A retirement village is located on Waters Road, opposite Grosvenor Street with Redlands College located within a close proximity on the corner of Military Road and Monford Place. A number of major and minor parks are scattered through the northern part of LATM 5, setback from Military Road, making use of the golf course facilities and the waterfront.

Important pedestrian generators considered for the impact of the LATM schemes are shown in Figure 3.17.

3.9.3 DevelopmentTrafficOverlayAnalysis

A review of known developments either under consideration or approved between 2001 and January 2017 was undertaken. It should be noted that subsequent developments have not been considered as part of this review, however impact assessments are undertaken for individual DAs during the development application stage. A total of 78 development proposals have been approved for LATM Zone 5, comprising the following land uses:

Dwelling House; Multi-Dwelling House; and Residential Flat Buildings.

A total of 579 new dwellings have been approved in LATM Zone 5 with a maximum of 52 approved in a single location at 19-25 Grosvenor Street, Neutral Bay. Table 3.5 and Table 3.6 show the estimated parking rate generation and traffic generation per development type as per North Sydney’s Development Control Plan (DCP) (2013) and the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (2002). It is important to note that detailed analysis and modelling was not possible as the respective Traffic Impact Assessments for each development were not made available, however, this analysis is expected to have been completed as part of the Development Application Process.

Development clusters can be seen around the Neutral Bay village and Cremorne village. With the highest parking rate being between 51-60 spaces required, along Grosvenor Street. It is expected that these parking facilities will be provided within the development for residents and that any unexpected overspill will be accommodated with local on street parking, however any on street parking required may be difficult or take up valuable parking spaces as these development clusters are in a “High Demand” area. The remaining developments are not expected to result in any impact on parking demand due to their low-scale and dispersed nature, as seen in Figure 3.18.

The traffic generation from the clusters around Neutral Bay village and Cremorne Village have an estimated maximum traffic generation in the order of 21-30 trips per peak hour. The developments have easy connection to Gerard Street or Military Road which are classified as “Regional” and “State” road respectively. This allows for the traffic to quickly move off local roads and will provide minimum impact to the local traffic network as will use larger capacity roads to move traffic. The remaining developments will have minimum impact on local road as it is expected that the developments will either be replacing existing dwellings of similar size or, as seen in Figure 3.19, are only small traffic generators and will not have an adverse effect on capacity of the surrounding local roads.

3.9.4 IssuesandNeedsSummary

The proposed developments reviewed in this study are not expected to have a substantial impact on the local traffic management schemes.

3.10 StateGovernmentProjects

The New South Wales Government is considering proposals to improve the bus services from the Northern Beaches servicing the Sydney CBD through the implementation of a new “B-line bus services”. While the proposals are still being considered (and are therefore subject to change), the current planning indicates services running from Sydney’s Northern Beaches along Military Road, through the study area, and on to the Sydney CBD. The B-line project will see buses running every five minutes during morning and afternoon peak periods and every 10 minutes during in off-peak times. B-line bus stops are proposed to be installed in Neutral Bay along Military Road at Wycombe Road westbound and Young Street eastbound. Several other changes are proposed to occur along Military Road, as seen in Figure 3.20, which include:

No Left Turn from Military Road at Ben Boyd Road northbound; No Right Turn from Ben Boyd Road at Military Road westbound; No Left Turn from Ben Boyd Road at Military Road westbound; No Right Turn from Murdoch Street at Military Road eastbound during morning peak; No Left Turn from Cabramatta Road at Military Road westbound; Extended citybound tidal flow conditions during morning peak; and Some minor road widening.

4.1 SectionOutline

This section identifies and summarises details of Council’s current list of traffic actions for LATM Zone 5.

4.2 SummaryofCouncil’sTrafficActions

In past years, Council has maintained a list of traffic facilities projects awaiting further approval and/or funding. As these projects have previously been identified through community engagement or Council resolutions it is appropriate that they are considered and incorporated into the LATM Action Plans where they are still relevant. Table 4.1summarises the details of Council’s current list of traffic actions for LATM Zone 5.

5. DetailedDataAnalysis

5.1 SectionOutline

Section 3 broadly summarised the crash data, traffic speed data, traffic volume data and public feedback data for LATM Zone 5. This section analyses these four key datasets in finer detail to narrow-down focus areas and associated traffic and parking issues within LATM Zone 5 which have yet to be identified by Council. The detailed analysis culminates in a list of defined issues by location to be investigated and diagnosed at a fundamental level such that fit for purpose remedial solutions can be developed and scored. The proposed solutions supplement Council’s current list of traffic actions.

5.2 CrashData

Crash data is based on the reported crashes and details characteristics about the crash type, location, speed, severity, and a range of factors which can cause crashes including weather, time of day, time of year and influence of alcohol.

The crash data, between 2011 and 2015 was mapped in ArcMap with heat maps produced firstly to highlight ‘hot spots’ and problematic areas where a higher density of crash rates was recorded. Data outside of high density clusters or fatal crash locations were removed to allow for a detailed assessment of the remaining data. Detailed assessment of the crash data for the key intersections has been undertaken to identify key trends.

Crash clusters were categorised based on crash type at each location to identify trends, namely by recurrence of same crash types. Where a majority or relatively significant quantity of crashes (i.e. at least three of the same crash types over the five-year period) are recorded at one location and are similar in nature (i.e. same DCA code, or DCA code series) it can highlight a deficiency in road design, intersection operation or local area traffic management (LATM). By identifying any specific trends and understanding possible contributing factors, a solution to treat the specific crash types can be devised.

The key crash trends for LATM Zone 5 are summarised in Table 5.1.

Table 5.1: Detailed Crash Trends – LATM Zone 5

Location Crash Type Frequency Vehicle Travel Direction

Belgrave Street / Young Street DCA Code 202 (thru-right) 7 Westbound (vehicle 1) / eastbound

Ben Boyd Road / Grosvenor Street DCA Code 202 (thru-right) 4 Northbound (vehicle 1) /

southbound (vehicle 2)

5.3 TrafficSpeed

Traffic speed data was provided for various locations in the North Sydney LGA by Council for a 20-year period between 1996 and 2015. Only data for the five-year period from 2011 to 2015 was used to ensure data maintained relevance to the existing traffic conditions.

The assessment identified locations where speeds of traffic passing through the survey location were in excessive of the speed limit. The 85th percentile speed was taken as the indicative speed of vehicles and represents the speed 85% of vehicles do not exceed. All locations where the 85th percentile speed remained below the posted speed limit were not considered for further assessment.

Locations identified as having an 85th percentile speed exceeding the posted speed were investigated on an individual basis. The characteristics of the roadway, conditions of the road surface, sight distance, adjacent land use and nearby cross roads will be considered when investigating why vehicles were travelling in excess of the posted speed limit regularly and to find a suitable measure to implement to calm traffic and reduce the 85th percentile speed below the posted speed limit.

LATM Action Plan Zone 5  

North Sydney Council   Page 43  

Seven roads were found to have 85th percentile speeds in excess of the posted speed limit, which are summarised in Table 5.2. Maps illustrating the locations are provided in Appendix B.

As part of a speed management review in 2015, North Sydney Council resolved to consider 40km/h Local Traffic Area speed limit projects as part of the development of all LATM studies, and that works undertaken as part of the LATM program adopt a design speed of 40km/h. Instances where the 85th percentile speed exceeded 40km/h are summarised in Table 5.3.

5.4 TrafficVolumes

Council provided traffic volume survey data for the North Sydney LGA for a 20-year period between 1996 and 2015. Data for the five-year period from 2011 to 2015 was used to ensure data remained relevant to the existing traffic conditions.

The definition of the impact on residential/environmental amenity by varying levels of traffic flow is extremely complex. Perceptions of impact vary greatly from person to person. Traffic flows that one person may find perfectly acceptable may be considered excessive by another. Impact is affected by the nature of the street and the area in which it is located, its width, building setbacks, grades, etc. as well as by the speed of traffic and the mix of cars and heavy vehicles. The functional classification of the street is important when determining the impact on residential/environmental amenity. To an extent, motorists and residents will accept some level of congestion in dense urban areas of Sydney at peak hours. The desired volumes, connections and speed limits are shown in Figure 5.1

Source: Table 7.2 –North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2016)

Figure 5.1: Road Classification Desired Maximum Traffic Volumes

5.5 PublicConsultation

In depth analysis of the consultation data (referred to in Section 3) was undertaken to develop a comprehensive action plan for Council’s implementation.

Although the majority of feedback is related to traffic and transport management in the area generally, the responsibility for some of the issues falls outside of Council’s control. This includes matters relating to public transport and roads which are managed by the Roads and Maritime Services. Whilst Council does not have control over this infrastructure, they form an important role in the overall traffic and transport schemes for the area. Accordingly, these matters will be referred to the relevant authority for their attention. A summary of the issues raised is provided below.

The LATM Zone 5 Action Plan is provided in Appendix C.

There were 90 issues raised with respect to public transport in LATM Zone 5. 29 (31%) of these responses related to timetables for various modes of public transport. The most recurring of these requests was that the frequency of bus services. A summary of the issues raised and the raw feedback will be forwarded to Transport for NSW for their attention (Appendix D).

CyclingStrategy

As noted previously, 7% of issues raised related to cycling. This included a range of issues such as cycling safety and connectivity, as well as perceived safety of other road users due to the lack of separated cycling infrastructure. Council has already developed and is in the process of implementing the North Sydney Integrated Cycling Strategy, some of the issues raised have already been addressed as part of the cycling strategy and some are new matters that require further action. Many of the submissions justify the work that Council has already planned and highlight the need for more dedicated cycling infrastructure. The items raised are listed in the LATM Zone 5 Action Plan.

In addition, all future road facilities will be designed with cyclists in mind to ensure they do not create additional hazards or pinch points.

RoadSafetyEducation

There were a small number of submissions (20) concerned with a lack of understanding of the road rules amongst the general community. Council already produces a range of road safety campaigns targeted towards specific road users about key road safety messages which have been developed based on local crash data, collaboration with local Police and the RMS. The feedback received during the LATM consultation phase can also be used to inform and enhance these campaigns. These actions have been included in the LATM Zone 5 Action Plan.

MattersReferredtoOtherCouncilDepartments

72 submissions were received which fall under the responsibility of various Council departments but contribute to the overall transport amenity of the area. These include conditions of footpaths, enforcement of parking restrictions, events management bus stop infrastructure and driveway approvals. A list of these issues has been summarised in Table 3.7 and will be referred to the appropriate departments within Council for their attention (Appendix F).

95 of the submissions received could not be used further for reasons such as there was not enough information provided, the issue fell within a different LATM Zone, or the issue was outside of the North Sydney Council LGA. A comment has been provided against each of these in Appendix G to explain why these have not been included in the Action Plans, or if they have been referred to the Action Plan for a different LATM Zone.

7. ProjectScoring–TrafficActions

Council’s traffic actions and those identified by this study have been assessed against several different criteria as per the North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2015) to prioritise the actions on a relative basis. The scoring methodology consists of two parts – an assessment of the current conditions (problem score) and an assessment of the proposed treatment (solution score).

7.1 ExistingConditions(ProblemScore)

The problem score, P, is derived from the following quantitative criteria:

road classification; traffic volume vs desired volume; 85th percentile speed vs desired speed of 40km/h; crash data including weighted scores for severity and vulnerable road users; relative pedestrian and cyclist volumes; and surrounding land uses

7.2 CommunityStrategicPlanCriteria

The solution score, S, is derived from the project assessment framework set out in the 2017 Draft North Sydney Transport Strategy which consists of a score from -3 to 3 based on how relatively consistent the proposal is with the following criteria:

Safe Travel - Improve community safety by creating slow speed road environments where more vulnerable road users are protected from higher impact road users and the number of crashes and severity of injuries is minimised

Transport Security - Improve personal security through improved streetscape design, increased street activity and passive surveillance

Social Wellbeing - Provide social spaces where human interaction is given the highest priority and the negative impacts of traffic are minimised, promoting incidental social interaction, increasing civic pride, reducing anti-social behaviour and community policing requirements

Active Health - Provide infrastructure that encourages healthy and active lifestyle/travel choices Fair Access to Parking - Reduce demand for parking and / or provide more equitable access to

existing parking supply Environmental Sustainability - Encourage the use of low greenhouse gas emitting transport options Local Environments - Encourage the use of travel modes that have minimal impact on air quality,

water quality and noise Transport Affordability - Encourage the use of travel options with lower social, health and economic

costs and higher social, health and economic benefits Congestion - Apply travel demand management principles to minimise traffic demand and

associated traffic congestion Business Activity - Increase business opportunities by improving the look/ amenity of North Sydney

throughout the day and in to the evening while, at the same time, reducing the whole of life cost of transport networks, including the ongoing costs associated with cleaning and maintaining assets

The Action Plan is intended to provide a 10 year program of works for Council. However the Action Plan will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to highlight projects that have been completed and also incorporate new projects that are subsequently identified through community requests and Council studies. The priority timeframe “Short”, “Medium” or “Long” has been assigned based on relative scoring and project ranking. It is intended that the indicated timeframe is the timeframe in which the project should be completed. However all projects identified will require some level of further planning, investigation and design in the short and medium. Some projects are also intended to be programs or actions to be implemented on a continued basis over the long term, for example Road Safety Campaigns, and these have been assigned “Long Term” priorities accordingly. An indicative quantitative description of each timeframe is provided below.

Short term: 1-2 years Medium term: 2-5 years Long term: 5-10 years In addition, a small number of projects have been assigned the priority “Not to proceed”. These are for projects which have been assessed under the LATM criteria but were inconsistent with the community priorities and objectives outlined in Council’s Community Strategic Plan. For those projects, the reasons have been noted in the Action Plan and an alternative, positive benefit action has been proposed, but remain on the list for clarity and future reference.

The outcomes of the LATM assessment have been used to produce the LATM Action Plan which is provided at Appendix C.

8. ParkingReview

8.1 SectionOutline

This section provides a high-level parking review for LATM Zone 5 due to the absence of comprehensive parking data.

8.2 ParkingReviewMethodology

At the time of preparing the LATM 5 Action Plan, comprehensive parking occupancy data was not available for all streets in the LATM Zone. This data collection is an extensive process that needs to be undertaken on a regular basis either with manual surveys or use of Council's License Plate Recognition vehicle. For the purposes of this report, sample parking occupancy surveys have been undertaken in collaboration with Council and based on community feedback data. The purpose of this process is to identify key roads that need to be prioritised for detailed surveys and assessment. However, it is recommended that an ongoing schedule of parking surveys across all streets in each LATM Zone be undertaken to ensure parking can be pro-actively managed across each LATM Zone.

The results for each sample of the LATM areas were represented in tables, with the main focus on the occupancy percentage for each street that was identified in the survey samples. North Sydney Council Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2015) provides a LATM Parking Principles Plan (Warrants) table which identifies the occupancy percentage thresholds and actions required (refer Error! Reference source not found.). Where the parking occupancy percentage exceeds 85% for multiple time periods, further analysis will be recommended as a high priority. If any of the streets exceed 85% for only one time period, further analysis will still be recommended; however, it is treated as a lower priority.

Figure 8.1: LATM Parking Principles Plan (Warrants)

The limitations involved with this survey process were largely related to time constraints and limited on-street car parking data received from Council. The limiting factors include:

using google maps to calculate on-street car parking provision; and work zones not providing accurate representation of occupancy percentage.

8.3 KeyFindings

The key roads surveyed and respective survey results for LATM Zone 5 are summarised in Table 8.1.

Table 8.1: Sample Parking Occupancy Survey Summary

Street AM Occupancy Off-Peak

Occupancy PM Occupancy

Average Occupancy

Grosvenor Street 52% 81% 51% 61%

Parraween Street 52% 75% 77% 68%

The sample data indicates that the subject parking areas may potentially be underutilised, particularly Grosvenor Street. It should be noted that a key trend from the public feedback data was a perception that the parking restrictions on these streets do not encourage the use of the commercial precinct by residents who live in the area. The average occupancy for both streets assessed ranges between 61% - 68%, therefore, the on-street parking for these streets requires regular monitoring as per the direction in Figure 8.1.

8.4 LATMActions‐Parking

It is recommended that an LGA-wide parking study is undertaken with detailed parking surveys. This would provide a complete data set necessary to determine informed parking actions, such as monitoring frequency and modifications to existing restrictions.

In addition to the above, it is recommended that an ongoing schedule of parking surveys across all streets in LATM Zone 5 be undertaken to ensure parking can be pro-actively managed. The schedule should be initially prioritised based on commercial areas, then locations with a high number of public complaints and then by high, medium and low residential parking demand streets to provide an ongoing, complete data inventory.

9. ApprovalsProcesses

9.1 ProcessOutline

The approvals process for the LATM actions involved several different steps to be approved for final recommendations. The steps were:

1. Draft LATM Action Plans submitted to Council for endorsement to place on public exhibition;

2. Draft LATM Action Plans placed on public exhibition for a minimum of 28 days;

3. Feedback from Steps 1-3 incorporated into LATM Action Plans;

4. Final LATM Action Plans submitted to Council for adoption;

5. 5-10 year program of works developed from LATM Action Plans;

6. Ongoing review of LATM Action Plans included completed and new assessed and prioritised items; and

7. Projects referred to Traffic Committee for approval prior to implementation.

North Sydney Council has been delegated certain powers from RMS to manage traffic matters on North Sydney roads. The North Sydney Traffic Committee considers all proposed changes to traffic and parking arrangements within the North Sydney LGA. Any recommendations from the traffic committee must be taken into consideration by North Sydney Council before making a determination to proceed.

The Action Plan will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to highlight completed actions. The Action Plan will also be updated with new projects that are identified by the community or through studies and subsequently prioritised using the LATM assessment criteria.

10. Summary

In order to gain a detailed understanding of the traffic and parking requirements and needs across the North Sydney LGA, investigations have been carried out under the Local Area Traffic Management Action Plans (LATM) program. The LGA of North Sydney was divided into seven LATM zone; this report has considered LATM Zone 5.

The key traffic and parking actions are summarised in the following subsections. Appendix C includes a complete action plan comprising of the traffic and parking actions and maps of action locations.

10.1 TrafficActions

Actions for LATM Zone 5 have been incorporated into a single Action Plan. This incorporates actions that were developed as a result of the review of community consultation and from past traffic facilities programs, and additional actions identified by Bitzios Consulting as part of the detailed technical review. The actions and associated priority are shown in Appendix C. The Action Plan is intended to provide a 10 year program of works for Council. The priority timeframe “Short”, “Medium” or “Long” has been assigned based on relative scoring and ranking. It is intended that the indicated timeframe is the timeframe in which the project should be completed. However, all projects identified will require some level of planning, investigation and design in the short, medium or long term. Some projects are also intended to be programs or actions to be implemented on a continued basis over the long term, for example Road Safety Campaigns, and these have been assigned “Long Term” priorities accordingly. An indicative quantitative description of each timeframe is provided below.

Short term: 1-2 years

Medium term: 2-5 years

Long term: 5-10 years

In addition, a small number of projects have been assigned the priority “Not to proceed”. These are for projects which have been through the rigorous assessment and scoring process but overall produced a negative benefit when assessed against Council’s scoring criteria. For those projects, the reasons have been noted in the Action Plan and an alternative, positive benefit action has been proposed, but remain on the list for clarity and future reference.

10.2 ParkingReviewFindings

In lieu of comprehensive parking occupancy data, the focus area for the parking review and sample parking occupancy surveys was primarily based on collaboration with Council, as well as public feedback data. The extent of the parking surveys undertaken in LATM Zone 5 was largely based on the proximity to commercial streets and public feedback received in the area. Through this process, several streets were selected in LATM Zone 5 and treated as a sample due to project time constraints.

There were 4 parking related actions listed in the Action Plan for LATM Zone 5. The actions and associated priority are shown in Appendix C.

It is recommended that an ongoing schedule of parking surveys across all streets in LATM Zone 5 be undertaken to ensure parking can be pro-actively managed.

P.2  LATM 5  Cremorne and Neutral Bay ‐ I find it very unfair that I have to pay for any parking within a shortish distance of my home eg on Grosvenor St, Waters Rd, Parraween St etc. Residents should have a Free Parking sticker (like Mosman residents do!). I have to pay for parking doing my grocery run and getting coffee!  Timed parking in some residential streets of Cammeray was done despite the survey by the Plateau Precinct which opposed this timed parking and requested that if council adopted this policy all households should have at least one free parking permit per household. The present policy is discriminatory because it creates two types of rate payers. Having to pay for a permit is in fact a tax which applies to only half the street. Parking ‐ double driveway. We live at 39 Earle Street Cremorne.  We are a block of 4 townhouses and have a problem with street parking.  It seems that people use Earle Street as a parking station and cars may be parked in the street for days hence leaving little space for residents/visitors.  We will be loosing approximately 2 car spaces on the street when building commences at 37 Earle Street.  We would like to suggest Permit Parking with the ability for residents to have 2 Permit stickers .  Your consideration of our suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Grosvenor St, Neutral Bay ‐ Cost of parking. Most Councils offer rate payers who are residents free parking stickers. Even if it was for 1 hour???  2. Developments being approved for new unit blocks with insufficient parking.   Many unit owners or tenants have 2 cars yet there is parking allocated for one only in the unit block. Parraween St, Cremorne ‐ parking should be free at all times to Cremorne residents. Parking charges should not apply to residents that shop there. Concern that LATM 7 parking permits will mean commuters from the tip of the peninsula will park near station, to the horror of residents in that areaSpecial permits needed for specific parts of zone (e.g.. Two permit solution ‐ specific parking to amenities)1. Residents who can't park (heritage homes), school areas, residents with garage but who park in street.

P.3  Grosvenor Street 

Cars parked too far from road (bad parallel parking, nose of car sticks out). People avoid metal bollards but not trees  Grosvenor St ‐ rear to kerb parking is not ideal. 

Parking  Convert 90 degree parking to 45 degree angle parking

P.4  Parraween Street 

Parraween St ‐ The bulk of people trying to reverse park on Parraween cannot do it on the 1st go. Why does the council not make angle reverse parking instead. It is much easier and does not hold up the traffic so much.

P.5  Grasmere Road between Ben Boyd Road and Young Street 

Parking on Grasmere Rd between Young St and Ben Boyd Rd should be designed the same as the parking on Lytton St, Cammeray. Grasmere Rd is approx 11m wide is one way and only has parallel parking available whereas Lytton is approx 13m wide with two lanes of traffic parallel parking on one side of the street and rear to kerb on the other. By changing one side of Grasmere Rd to rear to kerb parking the under utilised space would be accessible to both residents and their guests. 

Parking  Angle Parking  Angle parking could induce additional traffic into the residential street which would exacerbate traffic issues which have been raised elsewhere.  Existing parking supply can be managed through parking restrictions and resident parking scheme.

T.7  Ben Boyd Lane between Belgrave Street and Grosvenor Street 

We lodge this submission on behalf of the above Strata Plan and request the Council consider changing the traffic flow in Ben Boyd Lane, to one way only, in a North to South direction between Belgrave St and Grosvenor St. Two way traffic is currently allowed along this section of Ben Boyd Lane , however we are concerned that thisrepresents a safety risk as drivers coming from Grosvenor St often speed down Ben Boyd Lane, using it not for access but merely as an un‐necessary shortcut to Belgrave St. Ben Boyd Lane is already a narrow road, however the immediate entrance to Ben Boyd Lane from Belgrave St is further constricted by a short section of street parking that means two cars cannot pass at this point. Often cars need to back up at this section to allow cars going in the other direction to proceed. We believe the removal of the street parking from Ben Boyd Lane would be detrimental to the local community, as there is already a shortage of street parking within the area, caused by the high patronage of the numerous restaurants along Grosvenor St.Please also note our response dated 3/05/16 to Development Proposal Application No.110/2016 (attached for your reference).We ask that the Transport and Parking deparment of council take this into consideration and strongly suggestthat Ben Boyd Lane be changed to one way from North to South between Belgrave St and Grosvenor St.

Hardcopy Submission  27 I would like to complain about the crossing and lights where Belgrave St 

changes into Gerard St in what is now the alternate route to relieve 

Military Road traffic. There are lights leading to the school entrance on the 

left hand side of Winnie St which is important for the children; however 

the residents, who use this crossing to reach Neutral Bay Junction on 

Military Rd or shop locally, find it very inconvenient to have to pass the 

lights again and cross to the right hand side.  Unless they take the risk at a 

45 degrees angle which many of us do. 

At this crossing, the road curves around and cars approaching Mosman are 

frequently tempted to change through a red light because they can’t see 

that there are pedestrians waiting to step off the knob. It is very 

dangerous spot and I would like to have a light added, leading to the right 

hand side of Winnie St which would give more warning for motorists to 

slow down as they cant see round the corners.

corner of Young St and Grosvenor St is a constant offender.  They

Whenever I walk past this place (more than 15 times a week), they always 

have their tables and chairs beyond council markers.  Obviously it makes 

the remaining passage too narrow for pedestrians, let alone prams trying

saying good‐byes etc while obstructing pedestrian traffic.  This (customer) 

behaviour seems less problematic with establishments further up the

To council officers:  Please consider that there are trees planted outside 

FireFly, and when considering outdoor seating boundaries, please consider 

the space between the council marker and the *tree* (which is a lot

Suburbs, Carols by Candlelight, Vivid. The list goes endlessly on. As an

located within Waverley Council area]. How good would it be if a local 

council had actually made it easy to travel directly to major events, no 

parking issues etc. and picked up at the right place and at the right time to 

return. It is hard to imagine a Local Council really doing something for the 

benefit of their residents. How this would be managed is easy, and would 

very quickly become profitable for the future Council. Such a Service could 

and should be run by the State Government but they would not have the 

ability, just look at the mess they have created with their roads.

Online Submission  153 I'm generally happy with transport and parking in our local area. I'm 

interested to know if North Sydney will be participating in the parking 

enforcement scheme established under the State Government's recent 

changes to strata title laws. Given our apartment block is near the Big Bear 

shopping centre and the Watson Street bus interchange, our visitor is 

occasionally subjected to unauthorised visitors. I understand it is 

ultimately a question for the owners' corp, but I'm interested to know if 

North Sydney parking rangers will be empowered to support owners corps 

that choose to go down this path.

Noted Boat trailer

Online Submission  18 My submission relates to the space known commonly as the "Woolworths 

Carpark" bounded by Grosvenor Lane, Cooper Lane and Water Lane.

I would suggest that turning this space into an open, pedestrian only 

space, with street tables and chair space for cafés, restaurants and bars, 

would radically alter the centre of Neutral Bay for the better.  I would 

envisage something akin to a European type plaza or piazza.

I realise that this would take a considerable effort, short term 

inconvenience and expense to achieve this.

Ideally, the current Woolworths site should be torn down and replaced 

with a multi storey carpark, both above and below ground level, but with 

the ground level itself (and perhaps the 1st floor) as retail space.  The 

ground level facing the "plaza" should be allotted for cafés etc.  

Woolworths may, of course, wish to reoccupy part of the new building, 

behind such cafés.

I understand that this is a somewhat difficult project to contemplate, but I 

feel that the ends would justify the inconvenience, and would also provide 

a considerable increase in the amount of parking space available within 

the area.  One only has to look at the changed, improved nature of 

Willoughby Road in Crows Nest to see the benefits of creating such a 

centralised social location for a particular area.

Boats: 

there are now a great deal of boats and their empty trailers that are just 

left in many streets, causing both traffic hazards and taking up scarce 

parking resources.  Many of these boats are not owned by residents, but 

by others who have found a convenient parking spot, rather than in their 

street.  One of our neighbours followed an owner home to Mosman, 

confronting him as to why he parked his boat outside of our neighbours 

home, he was informed that the Mosman resident did not want to offend 

his neighbours.  I would propose that all boats have a parking sticker and 

that residential zones have 13 hour parking.  If the boat is left by 

nonresidents, then it should be fined, in the same manner as Balmoral 

Beach parking or many other areas in Sydney.  If you wish to own a boat, 

then you should be responsible for it’s storage, not impinge on the rate 

paying residents to subsidise their lack of desire to pay a premium for 

storing it at a facility.  The same regulations should be enforced for large

23North Sydney Transport Strategy |

7.4 Transport Planning and Management Decision Matrix

The revised Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (ITPS): Project Assessment Framework below delivers a justified and consistent transport planning and management decision matrix that addresses North Sydney’s transport vision and poriorities and that can be used to prioritise both strategic*1 and local*2 transport works programs.

Business Activity

...improve community safety by creating slow speed road environments where more vulnerable road users are protected from higher impact road users and the number of crashes and severity of injuries is minimised?

...improve personal security through improved streetscape design, increased street activity and passive surveillance?

...provide social spaces where human interaction is given the highest priority and the negative impacts of traffic are minimised, promoting incidental social interaction, increasing civic pride, reducing anti-social behaviour and community policing requirements?

…provide infrastructure that encourages healthy and active lifestyle/travel choices?

...reduce demand for parking and / or provide more equitable access to existing parking supply?

...encourage the use of low greenhouse gas emitting transport options?

...encourage the use of travel modes that have minimal impact on air quality, water quality and noise?

...encourage the use of travel options with lower social, health and economic costs and higher social, health and economic benefits?

...apply travel demand management principles to minimise traffic demand and associated traffic congestion?

...increase business opportunities by improving the look/amenity of North Sydney throughout the day and in to the evening while, at the same time, reducing the whole of life cost of transport networks, including the ongoing costs associated with cleaning and maintaining assets?
