4.01 BYRON STREET, COOGEE (C) Signage� Parking, Works Zone

(D01952879�DA) (AD)

The Council has received an application for the installation of a 12m long Works Zone

to be located at the frontage of 23 Byron Street, Coogee.

The Works Zone is required to facilitate construction works at the site for

approximately six months.

Currently, the eastern side of Byron Street has unrestricted parking, therefore, it is

recommended to install 12m long Works Zone on Byron Street at the frontage of 23

Byron Street for a period of 6 months.


MINUTES 3

Traffic Committee Recommendation:

That:

1. A 12m long Works Zone be installed on the eastern side of Byron Street, at the

frontage of 23 Byron Street, Coogee, for a period of six months.

2. The Council be given authority to replace the Works Zone with a No Stopping

zone if the operator (or their sub�contractors):

a. compromise pedestrian safety, or;

b. add significantly to traffic congestion in this area, or

c. does not ensure that the Council fees payable for this private use of the

public road are met,

with the zone being reinstalled once the issue of concern is properly addressed;

3. The Council Rangers enforce the restriction; and

4. Authority be given to the Council to remove the Works Zone and reinstate the

previous restrictions, when the applicant advises that it is no longer required.

4.02 CARR STREET, COOGEE (C) Signage Parking � Works Zone

(D01982187�DA) (AD)


to be located on the northern side of Carr Street, at the frontage of 45 Carr Street,

Coogee. Currently there are unrestricted parking at the proposed Works Zones

location.


approximately ten months.

4.04 CLIFFBROOK PARADE, CLOVELLY (C) Signage Parking � Works Zone

(D01943830�DA) (AD)


to be located at the eastern side of Oak Street, Clovelly, for 18 Cliffbrook Parade

Currently, the eastern side of Oak Street, has unrestricted parking, therefore, it is

recommended to install 12m long Works Zone on Oak Street for a period of 6 months.

Proposed

12 m Works Zone


MINUTES 6


That:

1. A 12m long Works Zone be installed at the eastern side of Oak Street, starting

immediately south of the right of way access (as shown in the attached

diagram) and continue 12m southerly.











4.05 CLOVELLY ROAD, COOGEE (C) Signage Parking – Bus Zone

(D01995960�RR) (AD)

As part of the bus stop upgrade program, Council’s Technical Services group has

identified that the bus stop in Clovelly Road, adjacent to no 234, does not comply with

disability access requirements.

It is therefore proposed to construct a ramp access to a concrete pad to allow for

wheelchair access to the bus stop. In order to achieve the required grade for the ramp

the bus stop will need to be relocated further west, immediately adjacent to the 10

metre No Stopping control on approach to Dans Avenue. The existing No Parking

control will be removed and a 24 metre Bus Zone, commencing from the No Stopping,

will be signposted.

A copy of the construction plan for the bus stop upgrade is attached.


That the bus stop upgrade and associated signposting changes, near to 234 Clovelly

Road, Coogee, as outlined in the attached plan be approved.

MINUTES 9





4.07 MARKET STREET, RANDWICK (C) Signage Parking – ¼P

(D01894063�LM) (AD)

The Council has received a Development Application (DA/603/2013) proposing to

increase the number of children at the existing childcare centre at 203 Darley Road,

Randwick, from 19 children and five full time staff to 29 children and seven full time

staff. The Randwick City Council Development Control Plan (DCP) 2013 indicates a

requirement for 1 additional drop�off/pick�up space and 1 additional space for staff

parking over the requirement for the existing centre.

The applicant’s traffic report has proposed extending the parking restrictions as

follows:

• Darley Road – ¼P 7.30�9.30am, Mon�Fri

• Market Street – ¼P 7.30am�9.30am, 3pm�5.30pm, Mon�Fri

Following analysis of the traffic report by Council’s Traffic Engineer, Council, it can be

concluded that any additional demand for staff parking and the drop�off and pick�up

associated with the childcare centre will be accommodated within the existing

restricted parking area on Market Street, or the surrounding area. It is agreed that the

operating hours of the drop�off / pick up parking restriction on Market Street should be

extended, and the restriction increased by 5m south of the driveway to 203 Darley

Road (located on Market Street). The requirement to introduce a further restriction on

Darley Road is not supported.

Ms Reed (resident) spoke to the Committee about residents’ concerns with regard to the proposed increase in the size of the child care centre at 203 Darley Road, Randwick. She detailed concerns about parking pressure, stacked parking onsite, illegal / inconsiderate parking across footpaths and road safety concerns. Councillor Kiel Smith (North Ward) expressed concern that with the increased parking demand in the area with new café / sports / fitness groups and the proposed child care expansion, parking pressures are increasing significantly for the local residents. He advised that he would not support the proposed extension of the time limited zone into the front of the adjoining premises (no.1A Market Street). Mr Lehmann asked Ms Reed of her opinion if the existing afternoon / evening ¼ hour parking restriction in Darley Road (adjacent to the pizzeria) were to be extended, such that it applies in the morning as well. She stated that she did not support this proposal. The representative for the Member for Coogee, advised that he would like the Council to further examine the proposal and review the submission. Also he indicated that the Local Member did not support the recommendation as detailed in the Agenda papers. Mr Lehmann advised those present that he would take the information tabled at the meeting, refer it to the absent voting members of the Traffic Committee (Police and RMS) and seek their opinion on the existing recommendations and / or the suggestion to extend the duration of the existing “pizzeria parking”, around the corner in Darley Road.


MINUTES 10


That:

1. It be noted that this Development Application has not yet been formally

considered by the Council;

2. The information tabled at the meeting be referred to the Police and RMS

representatives;

3. The opinion of the Police and RMS representatives be sought and that a Council

review of the traffic / parking situation relative to this development application

be undertaken; and

4. A Report be distributed once the above actions are completed.

4.08 THE SPOT FILM AND FOOD FESTIVAL, RANDWICK (C) Event, Temporary Road Closure

(F2014/00109�RR) (AD)

The annual event known as “The Spot Food and Film Festival” will be held on Sunday,

16 March, 2014, requiring the closure of St Pauls Street and Perouse Road, Randwick.

The arrangements in place last year for bus services are proposed to be implemented

again. A 40m temporary full time bus stop and bus zone will be established on the

northern side of Howard Street, east of Perouse Road, to replace the existing part time

bus zones located on the northern and southern sides of Coogee Bay Road (at the

frontage of Brigidine College). The mandatory No Stopping on the western side of Dudley Street will be extended by 6m north, to a point 10m north of St Pauls Street to provide a safe turning area for buses.

A full Traffic Management Plan (TMP) will be forwarded to the Roads and Maritime

Services, for its information.

Mr Graham (STA) advised that the proposed extension of the No Stopping zone (as detailed and italicised in the second paragraph of this Item) was not required as the buses no longer travel down Dudley Street. Mr Graham also asked, relative to Recommendation 2 below, that a reciprocal bus zone be arranged on the southern side of Howard Street. Traffic Committee Recommendation:

That, provided the RMS approves the proposal via the traffic management plan and

traffic control plan processes, St Pauls Street, between Nancye Street and Perouse

Road, Randwick, and Perouse Road, between Soudan Street and Barker Street,

Randwick, be closed temporarily on Sunday, 16 March, 2014, from 4.00am to

11.00pm to facilitate the holding of ‘The Spot Food and Film Festival’, subject to the

following conditions:

1. Council shall prepare a Traffic Control Plan (TCP) showing the location of

barriers, and all traffic control signs/facilities for the concurrence of the Traffic

Committee prior to the event:


MINUTES 11

Coogee Bay Road be replaced with a full time Bus Zone for the duration of the

event with the part�time Bus Zone being re�installed after the event; and

5. Council officers meeting the STA representative onsite to ensure the bus zone

details meet the requirements of the STA.


MINUTES 12

4.09 BORRODALE ROAD, KINGSFORD (H) Signage Parking � Works Zone

(D01982001�DA) (AD)


to be located on the southern side of Borrodale Road, at the frontage of 17�19

Borrodale Road, Kingsford. Currently there are unrestricted parking at the proposed

Works Zones location.




That:

1. A 12m long Works Zone be installed on the southern side of Borrodale Road, at

the frontage of 17�19 Borrodale Road, Kingsford, for a period of six months.











4.10 GARDENERS ROAD, KINGSFORD (H) Traffic Devices – Threshold Treatments

(D01453715�RR) (AD)

At the September 2013 meeting of the Traffic Committee, it was recommended that

consultation for the proposed entry threshold treatments off Gardeners Road be

undertaken subject to RMS endorsing the proposal.

RMS have advised that they do not object to the proposed entry threshold treatments

provided that they will not impact on traffic flow conditions on Gardeners Road. In

response to this, the entry thresholds have been designed to cater for speeds up to

25km/h, which is also the approximate turn speed for a vehicle leaving Gardeners

Road so it would be expected that there will be no impact on Gardeners Road.

Copies of the construction plans will be presented at the meeting.


That the entry threshold treatments for the side streets of Gardeners Road, between

Tunstall Avenue and Anzac Parade as tabled in the plans (Plan No 5682�

0713/D01996889), be approved.


MINUTES 13

4.11 LENTHALL STREET, KENSINGTON (H) Signage Parking – Other (Time Limits or Solutions)

(D01965884�LM) (AD)

The Council has received a Development Application (DA/634/2013) proposing to

increase the number of children at the existing childcare centre at 61 Milroy Avenue,

Kensington, from 36 children and four full time staff to 56 children and six full time

staff. The site currently provides two off�street parking spaces in an enclosed garage

that is utilised by staff.

The car parking requirements set out in the Randwick City Council Development

Control Plan (DCP) 2013 are summarised in the table on the following page (taken

from the applicant’s traffic report).

Scenario Description / Use Proposed number of

children and staff DCP Parking Rate DCP Parking Requirement

36 children 1 space per 8 children for

drop�off and pick�up 5 spaces for drop�off and pick�up

Existing Child Care Centres

4 staff 1 space per 2 staff 2 staff parking spaces

56 children 1 space per 8 children

for drop�off and pick�up 7 spaces for drop�off and pick�up

Proposed Child Care Centres

6 staff 1 space per 2 staff 3 staff parking spaces

If the development application is approved, a total of 7 spaces for the drop�off and

pick�up function are required and 3 parking spaces for staff.

The applicant has proposed that a total of five on�street parking spaces for the drop�

off and pick up could be provided, with four of these located on Lenthall Street and one

on Milroy Avenue. These spaces would be time restricted during the peak drop�off and

pick up hours. A conceptual plan showing the proposed layout is shown below.


MINUTES 14

However, at the November 2013 meeting of this Committee it was recommended that:

The mandatory No Stopping zone on the north:west corner of Lenthall Street and Milroy Avenue is signposted from a point on the northern side of Lenthall Street, 23.5m west of the intersection with Milroy Avenue, to a point on the west side of Milroy Avenue, 10m north of the intersection Lenthall Street

Following the introduction of this restriction on Lenthall Street, the available kerbspace

between the driveway to the garage at no.61 Milroy Avenue and the No Stopping

restriction is 18.7m – approximately 3 car lengths, not 4 as suggested by the

applicant.

Council’s Transport Engineer has assessed the traffic report and recognises that there is

a shortfall in the proposed parking supply associated with this development. However,

the proposed parking restriction on Lenthall Street will assist with the drop�off/pick�up

function at the childcare centre. The parking survey demonstrates there is sufficient on�

street parking capacity in Milroy Avenue during the peak hours, the proposal would be

acceptable. The requirement for time restricted parking on Milroy Avenue is not

required.

It is therefore proposed that an 18.7m P15min 8.30am�9.30am, 3.30pm�5pm, Mon�Fri

restriction be signposted on the northern side of Lenthall Street, 23.5m west of Milroy

Avenue, from the existing No Stopping restriction to the driveway access to No. 61

Milroy Avenue, located on Lenthall Street, Kensington.


That:

1. It be noted that this Development Application has not yet been formally

considered by the Council;

2. It further be noted that, if the Council were to grant approval to the Application,

the Traffic Committee would raise no objections to proposed parking controls

outlined by Council in this report; and

3. These parking controls be implemented to coincide with the opening of the

proposed childcare centre, if the Council approves the development.

4.12 SALISBURY ROAD, KENSINGTON (H) Signage Parking � Mobility Impaired Person’s Parking Space (MIPPS)

(D01797931�LM) (AD)

The applicant of the Mobility Impaired Person’s Parking Space (MIPPS) adjacent to no.

16 Salisbury Road, Kensington, has requested that the signage be relocated slightly

east, to allow the passenger door to open at the concrete landing pad in the nature strip

and because trees located in the nature strip obstruct access to the passenger door. The

existing parking restrictions are:

Salisbury Road, south side

measured east of Balfour Road, Kensington

0.00m – 10m No Stopping

10.0 m � 19.5m Unrestricted

19.5m – 27.1m MIPPS

27.1m � onward Unrestricted


MINUTES 15

Accordingly, it is proposed that the location of the existing MIPPS restriction be

relocated 3m east to allow the passenger to access the vehicle.


That the parking restrictions as per the following table be installed on south side of

Salisbury Road measured east of the intersection with Balfour Road, Kensington.

Salisbury Road, south side

measured east of Balfour Road, Kensington

0.00 – 10m No Stopping

10m – 22.5m Unrestricted

4.13 BUNNERONG ROAD, MATRAVILLE (M) Signage Parking – Other (time limits or solutions)

(DA/67/2009�LM) (AD)

Notwithstanding the fact that Bunnerong Road is a State Road, under the care and control of the Roads and Maritime Services, it is considered that the following matter should be discussed at Traffic Committee prior to a formal request being placed before the Authority. It is noted that the RMS representative will be unable to endorse, on behalf of the RMS, any Traffic Committee Recommendation rising out of this item.

To facilitate construction works associated with DA/67/2009 at 495�503 Bunnerong

Road, Matraville, the following recommendations were approved at the July 2011

meeting of this Committee, to be installed on the eastern side of Bunnerong Road, south

of Daunt Avenue:

1. The existing 12m No Stopping restriction on the eastern side of Bunnerong

Road, on departure from the traffic signals, be extended to the required

20m;

2. 45m of 1P 8.30am�6pm, Monday – Friday, 8.30am�12.30pm, Saturday

restriction, signposted immediately after the No Stopping restriction be

temporarily replaced with a 45m ‘Works Zone, 7am�5pm, Mon�Fri, 8am�

5pm, Sat’, for the duration of the construction activity.

3. The Council and the RTA be given authority to replace the Works Zone with

a No Stopping zone for short periods if the operator, or their sub�

contractors compromise pedestrian safety or add to significant congestion in

this area;


5. Authority be given to the Council to remove the Works Zone and reinstate

the previously existing parking restrictions, when the applicant advises that

the Works Zone is no longer required.

Following the installation of the Works Zone on the eastern side of Bunnerong Road,

south of Daunt Avenue, Council received two applications requesting the installation of

two Works Zones to assist with construction works at nos 489 and 491 Bunnerong

Road, Matraville, on the eastern side of Bunnerong Road, north of Daunt Avenue.

To accommodate the Works Zones at 489 and 491 Bunnerong Road, Matraville, it was

agreed that the existing 24m long Bus Zone adjacent to these sites would be


MINUTES 16

temporarily relocated to the south of Daunt Avenue, immediately after the existing No

Stopping adjacent to the development site at 495�503 Bunnerong Road. Due to the

relocation of the Bus Zone to the south of Daunt Avenue, the existing 45m long Works

Zone at the frontage of 495�503 Bunnerong Road property was reduced to 21m. The

intention was to return the Bus Zone to its previous location, north of Daunt Avenue,

upon cancellation of both Works Zones at 489 and 491 Bunnerong Road.

Construction works at the 495�503 Bunnerong Road site are nearing completion, and it

is expected that the supermarket will open on 25 February 2014. The site

Development Manager has contacted Council’s Integrated Transport department to

request that the temporary Bus Zone, be relocated back to its original position, north

of Daunt Avenue. Currently, the Works Zone at 489 Bunnerong Road is still

operational, and therefore the Bus Zone cannot be relocated at this time.

Council has also received a request from the representative for Sydney Buses, Mr Eric

Graham, to permanently retain the Bus Zone to the south of Daunt Avenue (departure

side of the traffic signals). This request is consistent with the State Transit Bus

Infrastructure Guide advises that:

“it is often preferred to position bus stops on the departure side of signalised intersections”.

These requests have been assessed and a number of concerns have been identified

with returning the Bus Zone to the approach side of the intersection, north of Daunt

Avenue.

• Vehicles travelling southbound on Bunnerong Road, and turning left into Daunt

Avenue, conflict with buses propped in, or exiting the Bus Zone. This is further

exacerbated when the pedestrian phase across Daunt Avenue has been

activated.

• Locating the Bus Zone to the departure side of the intersection will increase

intersection capacity on the approach side by freeing the kerb lane for left turn

movements into Daunt Avenue.

• Buses can access the Bus Zone more easily on the departure side and allow

easier bus re�entry into traffic after passenger loading / unloading.

• The Traffic Impact Assessment prepared by Traffix, for the development site at

495�503 Bunnerong Road, advises that buses operate frequently and that a

range of trips associated with the development including work, shopping and

recreational will rely upon public transport. This expected reliance is likely to

see an increase in public transport usage, and an increase in demand for the

pedestrian crossing across Daunt Avenue if the bus zone is located on the

approach side of the intersection.

• From a bus passenger and pedestrian safety viewpoint, a bus stop located on

the departure side of the intersection is safer than one located on the approach

side as pedestrians cross behind the bus where they can be seen by

southbound traffic.

• When the Bus Zone is located on the departure side of the intersection, the bus

does not block the view of traffic controls and other intersection traffic.

It should be noted that the conditions of the development consent do not specify or

refer to any signage requirements to be installed upon completion of the development

works on Bunnerong Road, adjacent to the development site.


MINUTES 17

It is proposed that the Bus Zone should be retained on the departure side of the

signalised intersection, south of Daunt Avenue. In addition, it is proposed that a ½P

8am�6pm parking restriction be installed immediately south of the proposed Bus Zone,

rather than reinstating the previous 1P 8.30am�6pm Mon�Fri, 8.30am�12.30pm Sat,

restriction. Therefore, the parking controls detailed in the following diagram and

described in the recommendation are proposed.


MINUTES 18

Mr Nathan Shea addressed the Committee expressing concern about the retention of the bus zone on the eastern side of Bunnerong Road, south of Daunt Avenue, Matraville. As the representative of the property owner he expressed concerns that the bus zone would reduce the availability of parking, create a noisy environment and not be conducive to the operation of the specialty shops and the café proposed at the front of his development. Mr Graham (STA) explained the rationale for the STA requiring bus zones on the departure side of the traffic signals and, in particular, stressed the safety implications of the previous bus stop location particularly with regard to the increased traffic likely to be turning left from Bunnerong Road, across the front of stopped buses, to access Daunt Avenue. He also informed the Committee that the bus service frequency at this location was only 20 minutes and that it was generally a ‘drop off’ zone. Accordingly, there would only rarely be a bus stopped at the retained bus zone. Mr Shea also sought clarification regarding the time limit proposed in Bunnerong Road and also (with regard to the following Item, 4.14 Daunt Avenue) the possibility of retaining a parking space or two in Daunt Avenue. Mr Lehmann agreed to meet Mr Shea onsite to discuss the fine details of the parking arrangements in this area. Traffic Committee Recommendation:

That a meeting be held between the property owner representatives and Council

officers with regard to the detailed parking arrangements in Bunnerong Road and

Daunt Avenue, with a report to come back to the Committee once these details have

been agreed upon.

4.14 DAUNT AVENUE, MATRAVILLE (M) Signage Parking – Other (time limits or solutions)

(DA/67/2009�LM) (AD)

In November 2009, Council approved DA/67/2009, for the demolition of existing

buildings and construction of part 4 to part 7 storey mixed use development

comprising a commercial/retail component at ground and mezzanine floor levels with

13 retail tenancies and a supermarket; a residential component on floors above with

108 dwellings including adaptable and affordable housing; 3 levels of basement car

parking for 304 vehicles; associated landscaping and upgrade of adjoining public

reserve, at 495�503 Bunnerong Road, Matraville.

To facilitate the construction works, the following parking controls were recommended

by this Committee and subsequently installed on the northern and southern sides of

Daunt Avenue. This Committee further recommended that “Authority be given to the Council to remove the Works Zone and reinstall the No Parking restrictions, when the applicant advises that it is no longer required”. The conditions of the development

consent do not specify or refer to any signage requirements to be installed upon

completion of the development works.

has contacted Council’s Integrated Transport department to request the removal of the

Works Zone located on the southern side of Daunt Avenue, and to request the

installation of a 2P 8:00am�6:00pm Monday to Sunday parking restriction, to coincide

with the completion.

The Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) prepared by Traffix consultants for the

development site advises that the No Stopping restrictions on the southern side of

Daunt Avenue on approach to the traffic signals should be increased to extend beyond

the loading dock driveway (page18). The report also suggests that as there is an

extensive bus service and extensive public parking provided within the development,

that there could be an over provision of parking (page 8).

In November 2009, in response to the Traffic Impact Assessment, the Roads and

Traffic Authority (RTA), now the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS), advised that:

“With exclusive left and right turn lanes in Daunt Avenue, the SIDRA analysis indicates that queuing will extend past the access driveway to the development for the 75th percentile back of queue length. This queuing on Daunt Avenue may result in potential queuing within the site for vehicles exiting the development. The queuing in Daunt Avenue and within the basement car park of the development will be exacerbated if a pedestrian activates the signalized crossing across Bunnerong Road, as left turning vehicles from Daunt Avenue will have to give way to pedestrians.”

Following the advice contained within the TIA and the above advice from the then RTA,

the request from the site Development Manager cannot be supported as parked

vehicles on the southern side of Daunt Avenue could delay vehicular traffic turning into

Bunnerong Road, and contribute to queuing along Daunt Avenue.

Introducing a No Parking restriction on the northern side of Daunt Avenue east of

Bunnerong Road to a point adjacent to the driveway and loading dock entrance will

assist with traffic flow when vehicles are waiting to turn right into the driveway/loading

dock.

Therefore, the parking controls detailed in the following diagram and described in the

recommendation are proposed.


That a meeting be held between the property owner representatives and Council

officers with regard to the detailed parking arrangements in Bunnerong Road and

Daunt Avenue, with a report to come back to the Committee once these details have

been agreed upon.

4.16 JOONGAH STREET, RANDWICK (M) Signage Parking � No Stopping

(D01986149�RR) (AD)

Council has received a request from a resident of Holmes Street for consideration of

No Stopping controls in Joongah Street, Randwick. It has been reported that ‘hoon’

type behaviour occurs in the street as it is undeveloped and secluded.

The Police have confirmed that they have attended incidences in this street. Given

that the street, at present, does not have any active residential frontages and does not

have any passing traffic which would aid with passive surveillance, a No Stopping

10pm – 5am control is proposed.

The No Stopping 10pm – 5am control would still allow residents and visitors to the

nearby park to use the street for parking, but would discourage anti�social behaviour

at night. The No Stopping control would only be in place until such time as residences

are constructed in the street.


That:

1. No Stopping, 10pm to 5am parking controls be installed at appropriate

locations in Joongah Street, Randwick, until such time that construction of the

residential dwellings commence; and

2. in conjunction with the above signage, each intersection have the required full

time No Stopping controls signposted.

4.17 McCAULEY STREET & PERRY STREET, MATRAVILLE (M) Pedestrian � Refuge

(D01824736�RR) (AD)

As part of the Ausgrid underground cable upgrade through Matraville, the pedestrian

refuge at the intersection of McCauley Street and Perry Street, Matraville, was

demolished.

It is proposed to reconstruct the refuge island to the previous dimensions, which are

over and above the RMS requirement for this type of device. It is also proposed to use

an Elsholz re�directive kerb in place of the standard SM kerb. The Elsholz kerb has a

higher profile which is considered appropriate to physically prevent trucks from turning

through the intersection (existing turn restrictions for trucks already apply).

A copy of the design is attached.

Mr Rosadi informed the Committee that the Council’s RMS representative, Mr Nicolas Kocoski, raised no objection to this Item but stated that RMS required that the layout of the refuge must be consistent with the current RMS Pedestrian Refuge design. Traffic Committee Recommendation:

That the pedestrian refuge at the intersection of McCauley Street and Perry Street,

Matraville, be reconstructed to the current RMS Pedestrian Refuge plan design, using

an Elsholz kerb profile.

4.18 RIGNEY LANE, KINGSFORD (M) Signage Parking � No Parking /No Stopping

(D01943362�SR) (AD)

A local resident has asked that a review of the parking restrictions along Rigney Lane,

Kingsford. In December 2013 No Stopping restrictions were installed on the northern

side of the lane to highlight the mandatory parking prohibitions along the lane, and a

No Parking restriction to prevent parked cars from blocking lane access from resident

garages.

Following a site visit, it was noted that parking along both sides of the lane can result

in some residents having difficulty accessing the lane from their property.

The existing parking restrictions are as follows:

Rigney Lane, Kingsford southern side measured east of

Rigney Avenue to Avoca Street

Between Parking Restriction

0.00 � 87.0m Unrestricted Parking

Rigney Lane, Kingsford northern side measured east of



0.00 � 10.0m No Stopping

10.0m � 30.0m No Parking

30.0m � 81.0m Unrestricted Parking

81.0m � 87.0m No Stopping


MINUTES 26

It was noted during the site visit that it would be preferable to have a length of No

Parking restrictions on each side of the lane, and keep the central area a No Parking

zone as shown in the diagram and table below. This would help limit vehicle speeds

and allow for garage access and vehicle manoeuvrability for the residents.


That the following parking restrictions be approved:

6.01 HIGH STREET, RANDWICK (C) Signage Parking – Bus Zone

Ms Moustacas (UNSW) expressed concern that the bus zones in High Street, in the

vicinity of the Gate 2 traffic signals, had not been relocated.

Mr Lehmann explained that Council was to contact the relevant officer in Transport for

NSW this week in order to resolve the matter of the northern side bus zone. He

agreed that the southern side bus zone could be relocated prior to O week

commencing on 24 February, 2014.

Mr Graham (STA) again, expressed objection to the proposed relocation of the

northern side bus zone.


That the information be received.

6.02 HIGH STREET, RANDWICK (C) Signage Parking – Bus Zone

Ms Moustacas (UNSW) advised that she had been contacted by people at UNSW, who

had expressed concerns to her, that when multiple buses service the bus stop on the

north side of High Street, near Gate 8, they often tail back across the zebra crossing.

It was agreed that a possible extension of the head of the bus zone further east, by

one bus length, be investigated.


That the information be received.

The meeting concluded at 10.49 a.m.

The next Randwick Traffic Committee meeting will

be held on:

Tuesday 11th March, 20144 At 9.30am
