EMAIL CONFIRMATION OF OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION
The representative for NSW Police – Inner West supported the Officer’s recommendations for the items in their PAC.
LTC0221 Item 1 182-198 Victoria Road and 28-30 Faversham Street, Marrickville – DA 201900096 – Consent Conditions 30 and 31 – Signs and Line Markings Plan (Midjuburi - Marrickville Ward / Summer Hill Electorate / Inner West PAC) |
Detailed line marking and signage plans and results of public consultation have been submitted by TOGA Wicks Park Development as part of development consent conditions for DA201900096 for the proposed mixed-use development at 182-198 Victoria Road and 28-30 Faversham Street, Marrickville. The proposal involves changes to on-street parking restrictions and the installation of new regulatory signage. It is recommended that the submitted plans be supported in principle subject to a TMP being submitted by the applicant to TfNSW for approval.
Officer’s Recommendation
THAT:
1. The detailed plan of the ‘No Stopping’ restrictions corner of Faversham Street at Sydenham Road and at Hans Place at Fitzroy Street, Marrickville (as per the attached Plan B – N156271-06-02) be approved;
2. The detailed plan of the ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the western side of Victoria Road, Marrickville south of Mitchell Street and time limited ‘No Right Turn’ restriction for northbound traffic into the new private road of the proposed development on the eastern side of Victoria Road opposite Mitchell Street (as per the attached signage and line marking plan (Plan C – N156271-08-01) be supported subject to a TMP being forwarded for the right turn restrictions and approved by TfNSW; and
3. The costs of the supply and installation of the associated parking signage are to be borne by the applicant in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges.
DISCUSSION
The TfNSW representative advised that a TMP approval for the right turn restriction into the proposed development is not required as the restriction does not apply to a road related area. The recommendation was amended to reflect this.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
THAT:
1. The detailed plan of the ‘No Stopping’ restrictions corner of Faversham Street at Sydenham Road and at Hans Place at Fitzroy Street, Marrickville (as per the attached Plan B – N156271-06-02) be approved;
2. The detailed plan of the ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the western side of Victoria Road, Marrickville south of Mitchell Street and time limited ‘No Right Turn’ restriction for northbound traffic into the new private road of the proposed development on the eastern side of Victoria Road opposite Mitchell Street (as per the attached signage and line marking plan (Plan C – N156271-08-01) be supported; and 3. The costs of the supply and installation of the associated parking signage are to be borne by the applicant in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges. For motion: Unanimous |
LTC0221 Item 3 Way Street, St Peters – Request for 'No Parking' Restrictions (Midjuburi – Marrickville Ward / Heffron Electorate / Inner West PAC) |
Council has received representations from Sydenham Maintenance Centre (XPT Maintenance for Sydney Trains) requesting the installation of ‘No Parking’ restrictions in Way Street, Tempe west of Toyer Street on the southern side approach to the rail overbridge to their Centre. They raised concerns that when cars are parked on both sides of Way Street at the overbridge approach it is very difficult for trucks to enter their facility. An investigation revealed that current parking signage is not in accordance with Council records after recent redevelopment of the adjacent property No.22 Way Street and that if signage is relocated correctly and inclusive of statutory requirements the requested ‘No Parking’ restrictions would be unnecessary.
Officer’s Recommendation
THAT:
1. The request for ‘No Parking’ restrictions on the south side of Way Street, between Toyer Street and the rail overbridge not be acceded to;
2. The ‘No Parking 8:30am-4pm Mon-Fri’ restrictions sign on the north side of Way Street, Tempe outside No22D Way Street be relocated a further 6 metres east (to the driveway of No.22C Way Street);
3. A ‘No Stopping’ zone on the north side of Way Street 10 metres east of Hillcrest Lane be approved (in accordance with the Road Rules):
4. A statutory 10m ‘No Stopping’ zone be signposted on the northern side of Way Street west of Hillcrest Lane (to the bridge approach) be approved; and 5. Council Parking Officers be notified of these changes.
DISCUSSION
The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.
