MATTERS ARISING FROM COUNCIL’S RESOLUTION OF MINUTES

The Local Traffic Committee recommendations of its meeting held on 1 July 2019 were adopted at Council’s meeting held on 23 July 2019.

LTC0819 Item 1 Warren Road Traffic Study (Midjuburi - Marrickville Ward/Summer Hill Electorate/Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

The Warren Road Traffic Study reviewed the one-way westbound proposal for Warren Road, Marrickville between Carrington and Illawarra Roads. The study considered three options to improve traffic flow and safety in Warren Road. Community engagement on the three options was undertaken in June 2019 and the results are presented within this report.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT:

1. As a result of the level of support from the community, Council support in principle a westbound one-way traffic movement in Warren Road between Carrington Road and Illawarra Road;

2. A Traffic Management Plan for the one-way westbound traffic in Warren Road between Carrington Road and Illawarra Road be submitted to the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) for approval;

3. Council submit amended traffic control signal design plans for the intersection of Warren Road and Illawarra Road to facilitate a one-way westbound traffic movement in Warren Road between Carrington Road and Illawarra Road to RMS for its approval;

4. Implementation of the one-way traffic change in Warren Road, including signposting and linemarking to facilitate a one-way westbound traffic movement in Warren Road between Carrington Road and Illawarra Road, be reported back to the Traffic Committee prior to implementation;

5. Renwick Street be marked with parking edge lines and centrelines as illustrated in Appendix C, and two temporary mid-block speed radar display signs between Excelsior Parade and Carrington Road be installed prior to the implementation of the one-way movement in Warren Road;

6. The 3 tonne load limit in Renwick Street be removed prior to the implementation of the one-way movement in Warren Road;

7. That Renwick Street be included in Council’s Slow Down in My Street program and Speed Radar program for implementation in the current year;

8. Woolworths Marrickville be requested to implement a more equitable spread of truck delivery times to the loading dock; and

9. That affected residents and businesses be advised of the traffic changes prior to implementation of the one-way movement in Warren Road.

DISCUSSION

Public speakers: Jason Bruer, Alex Dilworth and Kelsie Dadd attended at 10.01am

Mr Bruer and Mr Dilworth supported the recommendation as they believed it is the only option that will address the traffic and safety problems in Warren Road.

Ms Dadd supported the recommendation for the same reasons and suggested a further traffic management study be undertaken for the larger area surrounding Warren Road.

(Mr Bruer, Mr Dilworth and Ms Dadd left at 10.14am)

Public speakers: Bailan Devereaux and Chris Rapp attended at 10.14am

Ms Devereaux did not support the recommendation indicating that the proposed changes will divert heavy vehicles from Warren Road into Renwick Street and increase traffic speeds and total traffic volume in Renwick Street.

Mr Rapp did not support the recommendation as it does not address pedestrian safety which will be impacted by an increase in traffic volumes in Renwick Street.

(Ms Devereaux and Mr Rapp left at 10.24am)

The RMS representative supported the proposal in principle; however, indicated that the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) submitted to the RMS is still under review and may require further discussion with Council. RMS needs to review and consider how the increase in traffic turning right from Warren Road onto Illawarra Road to use Renwick Street will impact the operation of the Illawarra Road signalised intersection.

Council Officers will consider ‘No Entry, Bicycles Excepted’ signage at Warren Road or converting the bidirectional bicycle lane on Warren Road to a contraflow lane as part of the proposal, as requested by the Inner West Bicycle Coalition representative.

The Committee members agreed in principle to the Officer’s recommendation, subject to further discussions with RMS to resolve any outstanding traffic management issues.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. A westbound one-way traffic movement in Warren Road between Carrington Road and Illawarra Road, be supported “in-principle”.

2. Council Officers continue to liaise with RMS and provide any further information requested to assist their review of the TMP.

3. A further report be provided to the Traffic Committee once RMS review of TMP is completed.

For motion: Unanimous

LTC0819 Item 15 Bay Street, Tempe - Proposed installation of statutory 'No Stopping' signage (Midjuburi-Marrickville Ward/Heffron Electorate/Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

Council is proposing to implement statutory 10 metre ‘No Stopping’ restrictions in Bay Street at the Princes Highway, Tempe following a request to deter illegal parking on both sides of Bay Street. An investigation has illustrated the difficulty to which parked vehicles, within 10m of the intersection have compromised the safety and manoeuvrability of vehicles attempting to access into and out of Bay Street due to the narrow width of the carriageway and the acute turning angle required for vehicles on Princes Highway negotiating the turn into Bay Street.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT implementation of Statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on both sides of Bay Street, Tempe, 10m from its intersection with Princes Highway be approved.

DISCUSSION

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT implementation of Statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on both sides of Bay Street, Tempe, 10m from its intersection with Princes Highway be approved.

For motion: Unanimous

LTC0819 Item 16 Inner West Car Share and Light Rail Integration Pilot Program

SUMMARY

Council has reviewed the on-street parking areas near each Inner West Light Rail Stop for the provision of fixed car share spaces. The program integrates public and shared transport at a number of locations, providing more travel options and supporting shared and sustainable transport within the Inner West. Community engagement has been undertaken within the month of June 2019, with general support (60-77%) for the pilot program at 7 of the 10 light rail stops. It is recommended that Council implement 16 new car share spaces at these locations, with other locations not be supported due to the level of concern raised by the local community.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT:

1. A 24 month trial be implemented with dedicated car share spaces signposted as ‘No Parking, Authorised Car Share Vehicles Excepted’ near light rail stops at Dulwich Hill Interchange, Dulwich Grove, Arlington, Marion, Lilyfield, Rozelle Bay, Hawthorne, Leichhardt North and Lewisham West, as listed in the attached summary table;

2. Council review the car share spaces at the end of the trial period, utilising data provided from car share operators and the community and be reported back to the Traffic Committee; and

3. The costs of the installation, maintenance and removal of signage, marked parking bays, linemarking and wayfinding be met by the car share operator.

DISCUSSION

Public speaker: Christopher Vanneste, GoGet, attended at 10.43am

Mr Vanneste supported the recommendation as it would integrate public transport with car sharing which would benefit GoGet members who rely on public transport.

(Mr Vanneste left at 10.51am)

Committee members discussed the desire to maintain existing ‘Kiss and Ride’ spaces near transport hubs and other forms of transport including Uber and taxi ranks.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

2 September 2019

Item No: LTC0919 Item 1

Subject: Richardsons Crescent & Carrington Road, Marrickville - Request for Pedestrian Crossing Facility

(Midjuburi Marrickville Ward/ Summer Hill Electorate/ Inner West PAC)

Prepared By: Scipio Tam - Engineer - Traffic and parking Services (South)

Authorised By: John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

SUMMARY

A request has been received for the provision of a marked pedestrian zebra crossing on Richardsons Crescent (adjacent to Mackey Park) and Carrington Road (near Renwick Street), Marrickville to provide safe crossing opportunities for pedestrians, particularly school children. Pedestrian counts have been conducted and the results are presented within this report for Committee’s consideration.

The volume of traffic and pedestrians counted at Richardsons Crescent, between Carrington Road and the roundabout have met the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) warrants for a marked pedestrian zebra crossing. However RMS warrants for a marked pedestrian zebra crossing could not be met for Carrington Road, at its intersection with Renwick Street.

It is recommended that a marked pedestrian crossing be installed at the existing footpath widening on Richardsons Crescent which is located approximately 60 west of the roundabout including the provision of ‘No Stopping’ zones on approach to the proposed marked pedestrian crossing. Council Officers will undertake consultation in relation to extending the existing ‘No Stopping’ signage on approach to the existing pedestrian refuge facility on Carrington Road at Renwick Street to improve sight lines for pedestrians at this location.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. The proposal to implement a marked pedestrian zebra crossing at the footpath widening/ road narrowing in Richardsons Crescent, approximately 60 metres west of the roundabout be approved;

2. Implementation of 18 metres of ‘No Stopping’ on the southern side of Richardsons Crescent, south of the footpath widening on the western side of Richardsons Crescent be approved;

3. Extension of the existing ‘No Stopping’ on the northern side of Richardsons Crescent, immediately west of the existing footpath widening to a position immediately west of the adjacent driveway;

4. The Principals (of Ferncourt Public School, Tempe High School and Tempe Public School) and the P&C be advised in terms of the outcome of this report; and

5. Council incorporate these works into its priority program for Traffic Facilities Capital Works.

BACKGROUND

A request has been received from the State Member for Summer Hill on behalf of local community members to investigate the provisions for two pedestrian zebra crossings; on Richardsons Crescent, between the roundabout and Carrington Road, and on Carrington Road, at its intersection with Renwick Street.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

It is estimated that the cost for implementing a marked pedestrian zebra crossing and supporting signage will be approximately $5,000. The works can be funded through the signs and line marking budget.

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

1. Richardsons Crescent, Marrickville

Richardson Crescent has two separate sections along the frontage of Mackey Park; Southern Leg and Western Leg. The scope of this report concerns the western leg (refer to Figure 1).

Reported Crash History (July 2013 – June 2018)	7 Recorded Crashes 1x Emerging from driveway - RUM 47 2x Right through - RUM 21 1x Rear end - RUM 30 1x Right far - RUM 11 1x Off Left/ Left Bend - RUM87 1x Other same direction - RUM39
Heavy Vehicle Volume (%)	3.5
Parking Arrangements	Unrestricted parking along both sides of the road.

In relation to the crash history as provided in the table above, it should be noted that all these crashes either occurred at the roundabout or at the intersection of Richardsons Crescent and Carrington Road with no midblock crashes being recorded.

The proposed marked pedestrian zebra crossing is to be located on the western leg of Richardsons Crescent between Carrington Road and the roundabout (at the blistered section along Richardsons Crescent). There is a moderate downhill gradient from the roundabout towards Carrington Road. There are 2 central concrete travel lanes with bitumen kerbside lanes. The speed limit is posted as a 50km/h speed zone.

There are sections of ‘No Stopping’ restrictions which apply on both sides of Richardson Crescent (adjacent to Mackey Park) from the roundabout to the footpath widening, approximately 60 metres west of the roundabout. There are also sections of unrestricted parking (approximately 18 metres of unrestricted parking on either side of the road) provided within this area.

There are also ‘No Parking’ restrictions along Richardsons Crescent which are placed on the northern side of the road in the vicinity of Carrington Road. The majority of parking along Richardsons Crescent is unrestricted.

Figure 2 – Richardsons Crescent footpath widening crossing point

Footpath widening/ road narrowing in Richardson Crescent, between the roundabout and Carrington Road

At the Infrastructure, Planning and Environmental Services Committee meeting of 1 April 2014, Marrickville the following recommendation was adopted:

“THAT:

1. A footpath widening/ road narrowing proposal in Richardson Crescent be considered, between 50 and 75 metres west of the roundabout, to reduce the length of the crossing at the point where school students regularly cross and improve sight distance between pedestrians and motorists; and

2. Community and stakeholder consultation be undertaken on the supported option with the results being referred to the Pedestrian, Cyclist and Traffic Calming Advisory Committee for consideration along with the proposal.”

The matter of a pedestrian crossing on Richardson Crescent has previously been raised by the Tempe High School and Ferncourt Public School on a number of occasions. The Secretary of Marrickville Football Club has also previously requested consideration of a marked foot crossing adjacent to Mackey Park. However, at that time, the traffic and pedestrian volume counts did not meet the warrant for such a facility. Therefore, other possible pedestrian crossing facility options were considered. As footpath extensions were the only feasible option, they were recommended in the proposal.

Pedestrian traffic volume counts were undertaken on the 7^th May 2019 (Tuesday) and 12^th June 2019 (Wednesday) at times when pedestrian activity was highest. There are two main sources of pedestrian activity across Richardson Crescent:

· Students from Tempe High School attending sports at Mackey Park;

· Students from Tempe High School and Tempe Public School walking to and from Marrickville direction before and after school times.

Also, students from Ferncourt Primary School cross Richardson Crescent when walking between the school in Premier Street and the Col Jones Swimming School in Toyer Street.

Traffic and pedestrian counts were conducted at the subject section of Richardsons Crescent (at the footpath widening) during 3 significant time frames; in the morning (8.00am – 9.00am), midday (12.00pm – 1.00pm) and in the afternoon (2.45pm – 3.45pm). Refer to the attached copy of the results of these counts.

2.45 - 3.45pm	58	81%	1058

Warrants for pedestrian crossings

As the location is predominantly used by school children and as the subject location is required by children and adults outside of school hours (after school hours and weekends), the warrant for Children’s Crossing is not suitable. The RMS’s Reduced Warrant for the installation of a crossing for school children is for P (Pedestrians) to be ≥ 30 and V (Vehicles) to be ≥ 200 in two separate one hour periods immediately before and after school hours on a typical school day.

The results of the counts indicate the warrants for the installation of a pedestrian crossing predominantly used by school children has been met.

RMS Warrant		TUESDAY 07/05/2019			WEDNESDAY 12/06/2019
RMS Warrant		8.00-9.00am	12.00-1.00pm	2.45-3.45pm	8.00-9.00am	12.00-1.00pm	2.45-3.45pm
P	30	65	121	19	59	3	58
V	200	1182	764	1100	991	774	1058

It is recommended that a marked foot crossing be installed in Richardsons Crescent, adjacent to Mackay Park, at the footpath widening.

The proposal includes the implementation of ‘No Stopping’ restrictions along the western side of Richardsons Crescent, east of the footpath widening; removing three (3) legal car parking spaces. The loss of these spaces is to ensure vehicles approaching from the roundabout have an unobstructed view of the pedestrian crossing, especially since Richardsons Crescent has negative gradient from the roundabout. It is also proposed to relocate the existing ‘No Stopping’ sign located immediately west of the footpath widening (north side of Richardson Crescent) to a position immediately west of the adjoining driveway as the length of kerb provided between the footpath widening and driveway is less than a car space.

Street Name	Carrington Road
Section	Between Richardsons Crescent and Warren Road

Concerns were expressed that there is no safe crossing point for pedestrians approaching from Tempe who need to negotiate Carrington Road to continue through Renwick Street. The installation of a pedestrian crossing on Carrington Road at Renwick Street intersection has been requested.

It is considered that a reasonable pedestrian desire line for students (confirmed by Council Officer during pedestrian counts) and others going to and from Tempe to Marrickville would travel along Carrington Road, crossing over Renwick Street. (Refer to Figure 3).

Figure 3 – Journey from Tempe to Marrickville

Currently, at the intersection of Carrington Road and Renwick Street, there are splitter islands, with gaps for pedestrians which facilitates safe crossing, on the north-west side (on Renwick Street) and north-east side (on Carrington Road). These splitter islands provide some protection for pedestrians. An on-road protected cycle way stretches along the western side of Carrington Road between Myrtle Street and Renwick Street (refer to Figure 4), which continues as a shared zone for pedestrians and cyclists beyond Renwick Street (refer to Figure 5).

Figure 4 – Carrington Road Cycle Way

Figure 5 – Carrington Road Shared Zone

Currently, there are no formal pedestrian facilities over Carrington Road, between Richardsons Crescent and Warren Road for pedestrians approaching from and walking to Tempe. However, with the implementation of the proposed Richardsons Crescent marked pedestrian zebra crossing, pedestrians will have access to a safer desire path, allowing pedestrians walking to and from Tempe to cross at the recommended crossing adjacent to Mackay Park, continue along the footpath on the western side of Richardsons Crescent (refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6). At the intersection of Richardsons Crescent and Carrington Road, pedestrians will have an opportunity to cross at a refuge on Carrington Road and continue to Renwick Street along the shared path; away from vehicles (refer to Figure 5 & 7).

Figure 6 – Richardsons Crescent, western side at footpath widening

Figure 7 – Carrington Road refuge at Richardsons Crescent intersection

At present, Council Officers are unable to support a marked pedestrian zebra crossing over Carrington Road at Renwick Street due to the following main reasons:

· This location does not meet the warrant required for marked pedestrian crossing as specified by the RMS (Refer to Pedestrian and Vehicular Volume Counts);

· The road curvature at Richardson Crescent & Carrington Road restricts the placement of a possible pedestrian crossing to comply with minimum sight distances for motorists (refer to Figure 8);

· As observed on location that majority of traffic exiting Renwick Street, turning left onto Carrington Road, many drivers executing a left turn from the western leg of Renwick Street are frequently distracted by approaching vehicles from Richardsons Crescent and cyclists continuing across Carrington Road cycle-way failing to check whether the road is clear ahead of them before continuing. A pedestrian crossing at this conflict location may possibly pose a greater pedestrian safety risk than solution.

Pedestrian perception of safety can increase the potential for accidents. Many people, particularly children, regard pedestrian zebra crossings as safe zones, where they have right of way over vehicles. This perception creates a false sense of security in a pedestrian’s mind and leads to many pedestrians walking onto crossings without due care and watching that a motorists has actually seen them attempting the crossing. However, with the creation of a new desire line for pedestrians (via the proposed pedestrian zebra crossing on Richardsons Crescent, refer to Figure 2) may address this issue.

Figure 8 – Road curvature at the intersection of Carrington Road and Richardsons Crescent

Traffic and pedestrian counts were conducted at the subject section of Carrington Road (at the pedestrian refuge near Renwick Street) during 3 periods of the day; in the morning (8.00 – 9.00am), midday (12.00 – 1.00pm) and in the afternoon (2.45 – 3.45pm). (Refer to the attached copy of the results of these counts).

Warrants for pedestrian crossings

As the location does not have an obvious predominant use-group as indicated by the pedestrian traffic volume counts, the reduced warrant for a marked pedestrian zebra crossing cannot be used. The RMS’s Normal Warrant for the installation of a crossing for pedestrians is for P (Pedestrians) to be ≥ 30 and V (Vehicles) to be ≥ 200 and product PV ≥ 60,000 in three separate one hour periods in a typical day.

The results of the counts indicate the warrants for the installation of a pedestrian crossing predominantly used by school children has not been met.

Proposed Treatment

As a marked pedestrian zebra crossing is not warranted at this location, other options are currently being investigated including extending the current ‘No Stopping’ restriction on the eastern side of Carrington Road, north of the intersection with Renwick Street in order to increase the visibility for vehicles travelling southbound and for pedestrians crossing.

During an on-site community engagement with parents of Tempe High School students raised the issue of parked trucks and large along the eastern side of Carrington Road, adjacent to the intersection with Renwick Street obstructing views for pedestrians crossing and vehicles approaching southbound.

A separate report documenting the ‘No Stopping’ proposal along with the community engagement will be scheduled for discussion during the 8^th October 2019 Local Traffic Committee Meeting.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A community engagement was conducted regarding the pedestrian crossing proposal on Richardsons Crescent between 1^st August 2019 and 16^th August 2019. Letters detailing the proposal including a concept plan were sent to:

· Local residents within the vicinity (see Figure 11); and

· Principal and P&C president of Tempe High School; and

· Principal and P&C president of Tempe Public School; and

· Principal and P&C president of Ferncourt Public School; and

· Parents who attended the on-site community engagement

The proposal was also advertised on A3 laminated signs at the proposed location of the pedestrian crossing to allow commuters traversing Richardsons Crescent and users of Mackey Park to provide feedback.

Figure 11: Map of engagement residents within the vicinity

Two (2) responses were received so far regarding this proposal to date and is summarised below:

Residents’/Parents’/ Commuters’ Comments	Officer’s Comments
The parent expressed their strong support for the proposed pedestrian crossing at Richardsons Crescent. The parent states at present, there are no safe alternative crossings given the topography and land uses in the area. Parent has 4 children who attend Tempe High School and Ferncourt Public School and have observed the growing numbers of pedestrians and vehicles along Richardsons Crescent	Support is noted.
Commuter expresses their support for the proposed pedestrian crossing.	Support is noted

CONCLUSION

An analysis of the feasibility of a marked pedestrian zebra crossing treatment was carried out which has resulted in a proposal for a marked pedestrian zebra crossing on Richardsons Crescent, adjacent to Mackay Park at the existing footpath widening being incorporated within this report for consideration.

However, the request for a pedestrian crossing on Carrington Road, at Renwick Street is not currently supported due to issues raised within this report. Instead Council Officers will undertake community engagement on a proposal to extend the existing ‘No Stopping’ zone at this location.

It is recommended that the Committee note and support the recommendations of this report.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

The proposed temporary full road closures of Australia Street (between Lennox Street and King Street), Eliza Street (between king Street and Lennox Street), Lennox Street (between Australia Street and the exit of Lennox Street car park/16 Lennox Street) and Mary Street (between King Street and Lennox Street), Newtown on Sunday 10 November 2019, between 5.00am to 8.30pm, for the holding of the 40^th annual 'Newtown Festival' (Class 2 event under the RMS Special Events Guide), be APPROVED as per the submitted TMP and TCPs and subject to, but not limited to, the following conditions:

1. The application and TMP be submitted by the applicant to RMS for approval;

2. A Road Occupancy License be obtained by the applicant from the Transport Management Centre;

4. The occupation of the road carriageway must not occur until the road has been physically closed.

BACKGROUND

The ‘Newtown Festival’ is a free community event which has been held for the last 40 years and attracts thousands of attendees every year. In recent years, the Festival attracted around 90,000 people throughout the day with a maximum of 20,000 at any given time.

This annual event is held mainly in the grounds of the Camperdown Memorial Rest Park. In previous years, Lennox Street, Mary Street, Eliza Street and Federation Road, Newtown were temporarily closed to through traffic for the duration of the festival.

In 2015, a Development Application (DA 201500078) was submitted to Council by the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre to hold the annual 'Newtown Festival' for the next 4 years, on Sunday 8 November 2015, Sunday 13 November 2016, Sunday 12 November 2017 and Sunday 11 November 2018. The applicant requested the temporary road closure of Lennox Street, Mary Street, Eliza Street and Federation Road, Newtown.

A Local Traffic Committee report was prepared and submitted to the meeting on 9 April 2015. Council agreed to the temporary road closures on Sunday 8 November 2015, subject to conditions which were similar to those of previous years. An application was also received under Section 96 (2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act to modify Determination No.201500078 dated 15 July 2015 to no longer use a portion of Federation Road. Thus, Federation Road will no longer be temporarily closed during the event, however; part of the application included the temporary road closure of Australia Street, between Lennox Street and Alton Lane, to provide additional pedestrian safety during the event. Newtown Police were advised of this proposal and supported the additional road closure. It should be noted that the emergency access from Australia Street to King Street will remain open at all times for the Newtown Police Station and Newtown Fire Station.

Recently a new Section 68 application has been submitted to Council (S68201900007) by Newtown Neighbourhood Centre relating to the continuation of conditions in holding the annual 'Newtown Festival' for the next 5 years (2019, 2020 2021 2022, 2023). This year’s event is planned for Sunday 10 November 2019 between 9.30am-6.00pm. The applicant has requested the temporary full road closures of Australia Street (between Lennox Street and King Street), Eliza Street (between King Street and Lennox Street), Lennox Street (between Australia Street and the exit of Lennox Street car park/16 Lennox Street) and Mary Street (between King Street and Lennox Street), Newtown between the hours of 5.00am to 8.30pm.

It is noted temporary full road closures are now requested between the hours of 5.00am to 8.30pm whereas previous closures were between the hours of 5.00am to 8.00pm

The application is required to be referred to the Local Traffic Committee for consideration under State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Appropriate fees as per Council’s Fees and Charges are to apply to the application.

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

This year's festival will be held on Sunday 10 November 2019 and the following streets will need to be temporarily closed between 5.00am and 8.30pm on the day of the event (Refer to the attached Traffic Management Plan at the end of this report):

· Lennox Street - between Australia Street and the exit driveway of Lennox Street car park

· Eliza Street - between King Street and Lennox Street

· Mary Street - between King Street and Lennox Street

· Australia Street - between Lennox Street and Elton Lane - King Street

Locality Map – Newtown

Appropriate advance warning signs will be strategically installed at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. Barricades will be used to affect the closures and a 4-metre wide emergency vehicle access will need to be maintained through the area during the course of the festival. Security personnel trained in traffic management will manage traffic into and around the festival to ensure safety and reduce congestion.

Locality Map – Overview of Temporary Road Closures – Newtown Festival 2019

It is noted that the event location is situated near public transport facilities and has operated for numerous years in the past without significant traffic and parking issues, therefore the proposal is considered acceptable.

Section 96 (2) application and Section 68 application

In relation to the Section 96 (2) application, it is noted that the applicant requested the temporary closure of Australia Street, between Lennox Street and Alton Lane, to provide additional pedestrian safety during the event. Federation Road will no longer be temporarily closed during the event and there will be no activities undertaken within this section of the roadway. The event will be held entirely within Camperdown Memorial Park. It is noted that the Section 96 (2) submission states that ‘emergency access will remain open’.

The Section 68 application (S68201900007) now seeks continuation of conditions in holding the annual 'Newtown Festival' for the next 5 years (2019, 2020 2021 2022, 2023). It is noted temporary full road closures are now requested between the hours of 5.00am to 8.30pm whereas previous closures were between the hours of 5.00am to 8.00pm

Parking provision is not mentioned in any of the submitted documents. Closing the four local streets effectively takes away a significant number of on-street parking spaces so any increase demand for parking compounds the inherent lack of parking in the area during event activities. As Federation Road is to be kept open for this year’s Festival, the on-street parking will be available to the public, including the Lennox Street car park.

Site Plan – Newtown Festival 2019

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The proposed temporary full road closures for the event will be advertised in the local paper allowing for a period of 28 days for public submissions. The advertising period commenced on 20 August 2019 and will conclude 16 September 2019. The applicant will notify according to the recommendations in this report.

CONCLUSION

Comments of the Local Traffic Committee will be referred to Council’s Development Assessment Section for consideration in determining the Section 68 Application.

In addition to the recommendations of this report other conditions pertaining to this S68 application may include:

a) The Festival Director, Newtown Neighbourhood Centre be advised in terms of this report and that all costs for the event and implementation of the road closures are to be borne by the applicant;

b) The applicant be advised that an annual application needs to be submitted to Council for the temporary road closures associated with the festival;

c) A minimum four (4) metre unencumbered passage be available for emergency vehicles through the closed sections;

d) "No Stopping - Special Event" signs be affixed over all existing timed parking restriction signs within the sections of streets to be closed on the afternoon of the day prior to the event;

e) Adequate vehicular traffic control shall be provided for the protection and convenience of pedestrians and motorists including appropriate signage and flagging. Workers shall be specially designated for this role (and carry appropriate certificates), as necessary to comply with this condition. This is to be carried out in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 1742.3 - Traffic Control Devices for works on roads.

Standard generic road closure conditions also apply.

Residents’ Comments	Officer Comments
Residents not supporting
Parking in Upward Street was available when I moved to this address. I have a small car, and was somewhat relieved that there was parking in this street. I am not entitled to a parking permit. I have a seriously ill adult daughter, who lives in Camperdown, and it is handy to be able to park nearby, so that I can reach her at short notice.	The proposal has been developed in accordance with Council’s RPS Policy to deter long term commuter parking, business parking and reduce parking stress caused by recently constructed multi-unit dwellings in George Street. Dual occupancies, multi-unit dwellings and the strata subdivision of residential flat buildings approved after January 2001 are not allowed to participate in a RPS as off-street parking should be provided in accordance with Council’s parking DCP. Any existing unrestricted parking will be maintained adjacent to the multi-unit developments.
The extended times and inclusion of weekends seems excessive. This will cause further problems on other nearby streets for those looking for parking after work. Visitors on weekends will also be disadvantaged, not only for residents but also for local businesses. Furthermore, when I purchased my apartment, 1 bedroom with no parking, Upward Street availability was a part of our purchase decision. Changing this so drastically will reduce the selling price in the future especially as it sees we are unable to get a permit.
Residents supporting
As the scheme has indicated the number of parking permits eligible per household with no off-street parking. Will be eligible for two parking permits. However some of the residents in the proposed RPS area do not have cars and will not be requiring a parking permit. Therefore, would it be possible to acquire a third permit due to our daughter working nights and finishing her shift at 3am in the morning and having to find parking.	The Council Resident Parking Policy and parking permit eligibility criteria has been developed with careful consideration of various factors. Council also applies the RMS Permit Parking Guidelines. This allows for the permits to be fairly distributed to the residents, while considering the limited supply of on-street car parking spaces available. Resident Parking permits are issued to eligible households based on the type of RPS proposed and off-street parking space available on-site. The maximum number of permits issued to a household is two (when there are no off-street parking spaces and the residence has 2 or more vehicles). Visitor permits will not be issued as part of this scheme as there is a limited number of parking spaces that are proposed to be restricted (only one side of the street) with 2P parking restrictions. The provision of additional (visitor) permits would result in an oversupply of permits compared to the restricted RPS kerbside supply.
I believe it is reasonable to provide visitor parking permits to eligible residents.
