RANDWICK CITY COUNCIL TRAFFIC COMMITTEE
The following information is provided so that you may be aware of the structure
and operation of the Randwick City Traffic Committee.
The Randwick Traffic Committee is a Committee of Randwick City Council
but not one set up under the Local Government Act.
Council has been delegated certain powers, from Roads and Maritime
Services (RMS), with regard to traffic matters upon its local roads. A
condition of this delegation is that Council must take into account the
Traffic Committee recommendations.
Recommendations in this document may either activate the formal
delegation from RMS to the Council, or not activate this delegation.
Items which activate the delegation are indicated with the initials (AD)
below the heading.
There are four permanent members of the Traffic Committee, each of
whom has a single vote only.
The members are: the NSW Police Service, Roads and Maritime
Services (RMS), the Local State Member of Parliament (for the
location of the issue to be voted upon) and Randwick City Council.
Randwick City Council welcomes the public to attend and speak at its
Traffic Committee on issues of concern.
If the Local Member disagrees with any of the Traffic Committee
recommendations, they may appeal to the RMS or the Minister for Roads.
If the Police or the RMS disagrees with any of the Traffic Committee
recommendations, or Council’s resolution on any Traffic Committee
recommendation, they may lodge an appeal with the Sydney Regional
Traffic Committee for determination. The appeal must be lodged in
writing within 14 days of the notification to the members of Council’s
decision on the recommendation.
Any action relative to any issue under appeal must cease until the matter
is determined.
The Sydney Regional Traffic Committee is chaired by an independent
chairperson and submissions and representations are welcomed from all
interested parties.

At this time the Chair will ask those present at the meeting to nominate those items
about which they would like some discussion or elaboration.
The Recommendations on all other items, not so nominated, will be considered as
being endorsed by the Committee.
4.1 ARDEN STREET, CLOVELLY (no.43) (C) Signage Parking – Works Zone
(D02263326-LM) (AD) The Council has received an application for the installation of a 12m Works Zone to be
located along the eastern side of Arden Street, Clovelly, across the frontage of no. 43
(opposite Greville Street). The Works Zone is required for approximately three months
in order to facilitate construction works. The section of road is currently unrestricted.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 10 FEBRUARY 2015
MINUTES 3
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 12m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-4:00pm Sat, be
installed on the eastern side of Arden Street, Clovelly, across the frontage of
no. 43; and
2. The Standard Works Zone Conditions in Item 7 are applied.
4.2 ARDEN STREET, COOGEE (no. 132) (C) Signage Parking – No Stopping
(D02253466-DP) (AD)
Parking is prohibited along the western side of Arden Street from Alison Road to the
parking embayments outside no. 132 Arden Street. This is due to the narrow traffic
lane (3.5m) and the double centrelines required at the crest. This parking prohibition
is reinforced with No Stopping signage for most of this length. However, there is no
signposting applying to the northernmost section of kerb. Given some recent parking
practices resulting in unsafe situations, it is proposed to extend the existing 34m
signposted No Stopping zone by 20m northwards to the start of the indented parking.
This will remove any doubt in motorists’ minds as to where they can, or cannot, park.
It is proposed to extend the existing 34m no Stopping Zone by 20m northwards to
the start of the indented parking.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 10 FEBRUARY 2015
MINUTES 4
Currently, the following parking restrictions are in place on the western side of Arden
Street, north of Alison Road:
Arden Street, west side
measured north of Alison Road, Coogee
0m - 34m No Stopping (signposted)
32m - 54m No Stopping (too close to centrelines)
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the parking restrictions as per the following table be installed on the western side
of Arden Street, north of Alison Road:
Arden Street, west side
measured north of Alison Road, Coogee
0m – 54m No Stopping (signposted)
4.3 ARDEN STREET, COOGEE (nos 155-157) (C) Signage Parking - No Parking
(D02227057-DA) (AD)
A resident has requested a review of the current 20m long No Parking restrictions on
the eastern side of Arden Street in front of 155-157 Arden Street, Coogee.
Given the superior sightlines afforded to motorists exiting 155-157 Arden Street,
Coogee, by the setting back of the retaining wall (by approximately three metres), it is
considered that the No Parking restriction could be removed; except adjacent to the
‘stairway kerb build out’ and at the driveway.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. The 20m long No Parking restrictions be removed from the eastern side of
Arden Street along the frontage of 155-157 Arden Street, Coogee;
2. A 5.8m long No Parking zone be installed alongside the ‘kerb build out’ at the
stairwell access at this location; and
3. The affected residents be notified about the changes.
4.4 BURNIE STREET, CLOVELLY (C) Signage Parking – Works Zone
(D02266497-LM) (AD) The Council has received an application from TPI Remediation Services for a 24.5
metre long works zone to be installed on the northern side of Burnie Street, Clovelly
along the frontage of nos 45-51.
The works zone is required to facilitate construction works for approximately three
months and is intended to operate from 7:00am-5:00pm Mondays to Fridays and
8:00am-4:00pm on Saturdays. The kerb space at this location is currently
unrestricted.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 10 FEBRUARY 2015
MINUTES 5
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 24.5m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-4:00pm Sat, be
installed on the northern side of Burnie Street, Clovelly, across the frontage of
nos 45-51; and
2. The Standard Works Zone Conditions in Item 7 of this Agenda are applied.
4.5 CARR STREET, COOGEE (C) Signage Parking – Motor Cycle Parking
(D02264813-SR) (AD)
Council has received a request for the removal of parking between the driveways of 17
and 19 Carr Street in Coogee. It has been stated that when vehicles park in this
section of road access for residents is restricted.
The space between the driveways measures 2.65 metres. A list of small vehicle lengths
for popular makes is shown below:
Honda Jazz (2012) 3.78 metres
Mazda 2 (2012) 3.90 metres
Hyundai i20 (2013) 3.99 metres
Honda Jazz (2013) 3.90 metres
Ford Fiesta (2012) 3.95 metres
Mini Cooper (2012) 3.73 metres
Given that even modestly dimensioned cars cannot park at this location without
compromising access to the driveway, it is considered appropriate that the parking be
restricted for passenger vehicles and replaced with a ‘No Parking Motor Cycles
Excepted’ control.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That a ‘No Parking Motor Cycles Excepted’ control be signposted for the 2.65 metre
section of kerb between the driveways of 17 and 19 Carr Street, Coogee.
4.6 CARRINGTON ROAD, COOGEE (C) Signage Parking – Works Zone
(D02246308-LM) (AD) The Council has received an application for the installation of a 12 metre long Works
Zone to be located along the eastern side of Carrington Road, Coogee, across the
frontage of no. 97, which is south of Marcel Avenue. The Works Zone is required for
approximately twelve months in order to facilitate construction works. The section of
road is currently unrestricted.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 10 FEBRUARY 2015
MINUTES 6
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 12m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-4:00pm Sat, be
installed on the eastern side of Carrington Road, Coogee, across the frontage of
no. 97; and
2. The Standard Works Zone Conditions in Item 7 are applied.
4.7 COOGEE BAY ROAD, RANDWICK (C) Signage Parking – Works Zone
(D02266921-LM) (AD) The Council has received an application for the installation of a 124.5m Works Zone to
be located along the southern side of Coogee Bay Road, Randwick, across the frontage
of nos 39-41, which is opposite Judge Street. The Works Zone is required for
approximately twelve months in order to facilitate construction works. The section of
road is currently unrestricted.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 124.5m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-4:00pm Sat, be
installed on the southern side of Coogee Bay Road, Randwick, across the
frontage of nos 39-41; and
2. The Standard Works Zone Conditions in Item 7 are applied.
4.8 DARLEY ROAD, RANDWICK (C) Pedestrian - Refuge
(D02170074 - DP) (AD)
There is a shared pedestrian/cycleway which runs along the northern side of Darley
Road past the intersection with Clovelly Road. Darley Road is approximately 12.5m
wide at this location, without any pedestrian crossing facilities. The Clovelly
Road/Wentworth Street intersection with Daley Road was recently reconfigured. As part
of these works the pedestrian crossing facilities across Clovelly Road and Wentworth
Street were improved.
The Council has fielded representations from cyclists suggesting that access between
the shared path and Clovelly Road is very difficult.
It is proposed to construct a pedestrian refuge on Darley Road to the east of the
Clovelly Road/Wentworth Street intersection.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 10 FEBRUARY 2015
MINUTES 7
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 10 FEBRUARY 2015
MINUTES 8
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A pedestrian refuge island be installed in Darley Road, Randwick, at the
intersection with Clovelly Road;
2. Detailed construction plans be brought back for the consideration of the
Committee, prior to construction; and
3. This project be included on the list of unfunded works.
4.9 GOVETT LANE, RANDWICK (C) Road Safety - Speeding Concerns
(D02219547-LM) (AD) Concerns have been raised by a resident via the Randwick precinct committee
regarding the traffic volume and incidences of vehicles speeding along Govett Lane,
Randwick. Traffic speed, classification and volume counts have subsequently been
undertaken to determine the extent of the matter. The results of the counts are
summarised in the following table:
Speed Data Govett Lane, Randwick
Data December 2014
Eastbound Westbound
Weekly 50th%ile speed (km/h) 23 25
Weekly 85th%ile speed (km/h) 33 31
Five day AADT 105 111
Seven day AADT 107 107
The data highlights that the average daily traffic volumes are exceedingly low and
traffic speeds appear to be well below the 50km/h speed limit. The classification data
recorded that 31% of vehicles travelling along Govett Lane are either bicycles or
powered two wheelers.
The RMS guidelines which provide for the assessment of environmental capacity for
streets with direct access to residential properties suggests that local streets should
have an environmental goal of a maximum peak hour volume of 100 vehicles. The
traffic count and speed survey shows that the traffic volume in Govett Lane does not
exceed the suggested environmental capacity.
Given the speed and volume results are low, no action is recommended, at this time.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the Precinct be informed of the reasons for taking no action at this time.

4.10 NORTHUMBERLAND LANE, CLOVELLY (C) Signage Parking - No Parking
(D02169019& D02266965-DA) (AD)
Concerns have been raised regarding the difficulties of vehicle movement and
accessibility issues of residents to their off street parking spaces in Northumberland
Lane, between Warner Avenue and Park Lane, Clovelly. Northumberland Lane is an
unformed lane and it measures approximately 5 metres wide and caters for two way
traffic.
A survey was undertaken among the residents of Campbell Street and Northumberland
Street who have access to their off street parking spaces through Northumberland
Lane to gauge their views on the proposal to install No Parking restrictions in
Northumberland Lane. Twenty three survey forms were sent out to the residents with
the following options to indicate their preference;
Please examine the statements below and tick the box to indicate your preference:
My preference regarding parking controls in Northumberland Lane is:
Seventeen (73.9%) responses to the survey were received. Of these seventeen
responses, 9 were (52.9%) in favour of installing a No Parking restriction on both
sides, 7 were (41.2%) in favour of leaving the lane as it is and 1 was (5.9%) in favour
of installing No Parking on the western side of Northumberland Lane.
Therefore, it is recommended that No Parking restrictions be installed on both sides of
Northumberland Lane, between Warner Avenue and Park Lane, Clovelly.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. Northumberland Lane have imposed, along both sides, a No Parking
restriction, between Warner Avenue and Park Lane, Clovelly; and
2. The affected residents be notified about the changes.
A ‘No Parking’ restriction along the eastern side (Northumberland Street side)
A ‘No Parking’ restrictions along the western side (Campbell Street side)
‘No Parking’ restrictions along both sides of Northumberland Lane
To Leave the Lane as it is, with no signposted parking control

4.12 THE SPOT RESIDENT PARKING REVIEW, RANDWICK (C) Signage Parking - 3P Resident Parking
(D02219944, D02221300 & D02219724-DA) (AD)
Following enquiries from some residents a review has been undertaken of the
operation of the Resident Parking Scheme in the locality of Randwick known as The
Spot. An audit was undertaken with regard to the number of resident parking spaces
available and the number of permits issued on a street-by-street basis, to ascertain if
an extension of the resident parking zones is warranted.
It should be noted that at the Council’s Ordinary Meeting held on Tuesday, 23
November, 2004, an amended report on the Spot Resident Parking Scheme, Visitors
Parking Scheme and General Parking Scheme was adopted for implementation on 1
March 2005. The report recommended a 3 hour time limit for the resident parking
zones.
Since the implementation of the 3 hour resident parking zones, there have not been
major changes to the land use patterns in this area. Therefore, it is considered that the
existing 3 hour time limit should be retained.

MINUTES 13
The audit reveals that there are 274 resident parking spaces available in various
streets within the Spot area with only 180 permits having been issued for those
resident parking zones. Therefore, no expansion of the scheme is deemed warranted in
‘The Spot’ at this time.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. No adjustment be made to the current duration of time for the existing resident
parking zones in The Spot;
2. No extensions to the existing resident parking zones in The Spot area be
considered at this time; and
3. The next review of the existing resident parking zones in The Spot area be
undertaken from approximately 2 years’ time.
4.13 DAY LANE, KENSINGTON (H) Linemarking - Give Way
(D02072473/M2014.07.5.12-SR) (AD)
The current Give Way linemarkings in Day Lane, north of Barker Street, need
improvement. It is proposed that the Give Way linemarkings be relocated to the
decision point of the intersection to allow for better sight lines, and that they be
supplemented with a painted island and raised pavement markers as shown in the
diagram below.
Ms N Tanner (resident) enquired as to the ability to turn sharp left when travelling
southbound down Day Lane, at Barker Street. Mr Lehmann (RCC) advised the
Committee that the proposal shown in the attached image was to be installed in
linemarking paint only and that motorists would be able to traverse it, if required. He
further suggested that minor modifications to be made to the proposal following
consultation with the technical sub-committee (RMS and Police representatives).
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. The existing Give Way Linemarkings be removed from this intersection;
2. Give Way and Chevron linemarkings be installed as shown in the diagram,
subject to detailed design and possible modifications following consultation with
the technical sub-committee (RMS and Police representatives); and
3. The existing ‘No Stopping’ restriction be relocated to meet the statutory 10m
mandatory restriction length.

4.14 GARDENERS ROAD, KINGSFORD (H) Event - Temporary Road Closure
(D02207678-DA) (AD)
During the annual Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations at St Spyridon’s Church on
Gardeners Road, Kingsford (east of Doncaster Avenue), some 5,000 to 6,000
worshippers assemble on Gardeners Road outside the Church. Over many years, in
the interests of road safety, Gardeners Road has been closed to east and westbound
traffic between Houston Road and Cottenham Avenue on two occasions during the
celebrations as detailed below. Police staff various points for this religious activity.
In respect of the road closures all westbound traffic on Gardeners Road is diverted at
Houston Road, left into General Bridges Crescent except buses. Buses are diverted
right into Houston Road. All eastbound traffic is diverted left into Cottenham Avenue.
The closure times are:
1. Friday 10 April 2015, 8:00pm to 10:30pm. An RMS Traffic Emergency Patrol
(TEP) vehicle is utilised on site from about 7:30pm to 10:30pm.
2. Saturday 11 April 2015, 11:30pm to 1:30am on Sunday 12 April 2015. An

Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. The information be received;
2. The organisers provide notification to all businesses and residences adjacent to
the affected parts of the streets with regard to the event, detailing the effect
on bus services, including proposed bus diversions;
3. The applicant liaise with the Transport for NSW’s Transport Management Centre
regarding this event to obtain Road Occupancy Licence (ROL);
4. The applicant ensures that the required traffic control equipment is provided
and delivered onsite for the use of the Police; and
5. The proponents of this event be requested to also inform locals that, as a result
of the event, there will be some limited bus movements along some local
streets.
4.15 ALMA ROAD, MAROUBRA (M) Linemarking – Signage
(D02246078-KW) (AD)
Council have been contacted by a resident with concerns about vehicles parking on the
carriageway, adjacent to the purpose built parking bays on Alma Road, Maroubra.
Under the Australian Roads Rules it is not illegal for vehicles to be parked parallel on
the carriageway of Alma Road, however, as the parking bays form part of the nature
strip it may be technically illegal to park in the bays.
To regulate and formalise the parking arrangements in this area it is suggested that the
recommendations of RMS Technical Direction 2014/004 “Off-road parking provision on
narrow roads” be applied.
This includes the installation of “Restricted Parking Area – Park in marked bays only”
signage on the affected sections of Alma Road and a continuous yellow line to signify
No Stopping on the carriageway.

Mr Hind (RMS) informed the Committee members that the required sign indicating
parking arrangements was only a “Park in Marked Bays” sign (R5-65), not the
“Restricted Parking Area” sign indicated in this report.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. That a ‘Park in Marked Bays only’ zone be installed on Alma Road between
Cooper Street and Garden Street;
2. That a ‘Park in Marked Bays only’ zone be installed on Alma Road between
Garden Street and the property boundary of No.7 and No.9 Alma Road;
3. That a continuous yellow No Stopping line be installed on both sides of Alma

4.16 BEAUCHAMP ROAD, MAROUBRA (M) Road Safety - Speeding Concerns
(D02173933-SR) (AD)
Council has received correspondence from residents regarding speeding vehicles on
Beauchamp Road, between Malabar Road and Broome Street, Maroubra. Residents
requested the possibility of constructing traffic calming devices on Beauchamp Road to
ascertain the extent of any speeding problem in the street.
The Traffic count was undertaken in November 2014. The results of the count are
summarised below:
Speed Data Beauchamp Road, Maroubra
Eastbound Westbound
85th percentile speed (km/h) 47 48
AADT 1149 1247
% vehicles > 50km/h 2 9
Analysis of the results show that incidences of vehicle speeding are quite low. Based
on the results of the traffic survey it can be seen that vehicle speeds are not excessive
in relation to the speed limit (50km/h). As such, traffic calming to address this issue is
not considered warranted. It is proposed to forward the results of the survey to the
Police Highway Patrol to determine if speed enforcement can be undertaken.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the results of the traffic survey undertaken in November 2014 for Beauchamp
Road, Maroubra, be forwarded to the Police Highway Patrol to determine if speed
enforcement can be undertaken.

4.17 BOTANY STREET, KINGSFORD (M) Signage Parking - Mobility Impaired Person’s Parking Space (MIPPS)
(D02236177-DA) (AD)
The resident of 134 Botany Street, Kingsford, has requested that a Mobility Impaired
Person’s Parking Space (MIPPS) be installed at the frontage of his property, where
parking is unrestricted. The resident holds a Mobility Parking Scheme (MPS) card and
although he does have off street parking, the space is constricted by two walls which
leaves only a 2.2m clear width.
The resident advised that due to his disability and narrowness of the space, he is
unable to open the door fully and unable to get out of the car. He also advised that he
regularly experiences difficulty in finding parking near his residence due to the close
proximity of the South Juniors Club.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That a 6m long Mobility Impaired Person’s Parking Space (MIPPS), as detailed above,
be installed at the frontage of 134 Botany Street, Kingsford.
4.18 ELAROO AVENUE, LA PEROUSE (M) Road Safety – Speeding Concerns
(D02239611-LM) (AD) Concerns have been raised by a resident regarding incidences of vehicles speeding
along Elaroo Avenue, La Perouse. Traffic speed, classification and volume counts have
subsequently been undertaken to determine the extent of the matter. The results of
the counts are summarised in the following table:
Speed Data Elaroo Avenue, La Perouse
Data December 2014
NW/B SE/B
Weekly 50th%ile speed (km/h) 42 39
Weekly 85th%ile speed (km/h) 55 50
Five day AADT 225 226
Seven day AADT 238 228
The data highlights that the average daily traffic volumes are low and traffic speeds
mainly appear to be below the 50km/h speed limit. Although further analysis of the
data shows that 22% of north-west bound vehicles and 14% of south-east bound
vehicles are exceeding the speed limit particular late at night.
Given the volume of motorists actually exceeding the speed limit it is considered that
Council should forward the data it has gathered to the local Highway Patrol so that the
Police may take appropriate action, if any.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the traffic count data for Elaroo Avenue, La Perouse, be forwarded to the local
Highway Patrol for consideration for enforcement.

4.19 FITZGERALD AVENUE, MAROUBRA (M) Pedestrian - Refuge
(D01526142/ D01537018-RR)
Following resident concerns being raised regarding the safety of pedestrians when
crossing Fitzgerald Avenue, near Robey Street, it is proposed to install a pedestrian
refuge at this location.
The proposed facility is designed to AS174.10-2009 requirements as there is no
widening or narrowing of the carriageway proposed. The detailed design plan showing
the refuge as per the Australian Standard is shown below.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 10 FEBRUARY 2015
MINUTES 22
Mr Eric Graham (STA) enquired as to the proposed lane width along Fitzgerald Avenue.
Mr Rosadi (RCC) suggested that the design was in accordance with STA requirements.
Mr Graham reminded the Committee that the minimum lane width for bus services was
3.25m.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A pedestrian refuge island be installed in accordance with Australian Standards
(as shown) in Fitzgerald Avenue, west of the intersection with Robey Street,
Maroubra;
2. A full-size copy of the concept plans for this project be forwarded to Mr Graham
(STA) for his information; and
3. This project be included on the list of unfunded works.
4.20 MALABAR ROAD, MAROUBRA (M) Linemarking – Edge Lines
(D002260832-KW) (AD)
Following a request for the removal of on street parking on Malabar Road south of
Beauchamp Road Council has investigated the traffic and parking conditions. As there
is a direct link between carriageway widths and vehicle speeds the removal of on
street parking is not considered appropriate at this location.
The road width in this section of Malabar Road is 7.2m kerb to kerb which allows for
the 2.1m parking lanes on either side of the carriageway and a single 3m travel lane.
This width of carriageway is sufficient to allow for the safe passage of vehicles and is
suitable for the low traffic volumes accessing this section of Malabar Road.
In order to prevent vehicles obstructing the carriageway and to act as a guide for
parking vehicles the installation of an E1 edgeline 2.1m from the kerb would assist in
the traffic management for this area.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. an E1 edgeline be installed on the western side of Malabar Road commencing at
the existing ‘No Parking’ opposite the common property boundary of No.685
and No.687 Malabar road and extending 77m south towards the cul-de-sac of
Malabar Road.
2. an E1 edgeline be installed on the eastern side of Malabar Road commencing at
the existing ‘No Parking’ immediately north of the driveway of No.687 Malabar
Road and extending 66m south towards the cul-de-sac of Malabar Road.

4.21 MARINE PARADE, MAROUBRA (M) Signage Parking – Works Zone
(D02266248-LM) (AD) The Council has received an application for the installation of a 20m Works Zone to be
located along the western side of Marine Parade, Maroubra, across the frontage of nos
54-56. The Works Zone is required for approximately nine months in order to facilitate
construction works. The section of road is currently unrestricted.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 20m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-4:00pm Sat, be
installed on the western side of Marine Parade, Maroubra, across the frontage
of nos 54-56; and
2. The Standard Works Zone Conditions in Item 7 are applied.
4.22 MAROUBRA ROAD, MAROUBRA (M) Signage Regulatory – No U Turn
(D02251533-TL) (AD)
The Police Local Area Command has requested that the Council consider lowering
slightly a section of the median traffic island in Maroubra Road, opposite Robey Street,
Maroubra. This request has been made in order to assist with improved Police
response times to urgent call outs to the west or to the south-west of the Maroubra
Police station.
Currently Police officers, when using any of their vehicles parked within the Maroubra
Road Police Vehicle zone, must proceed easterly to the Anzac Parade traffic signals,
await clearance of those signals and then effect a u-turn to return to the west, or
south-west. They cannot simply traverse the median island as most sedan based
vehicles do not have the vertical clearance required.
The Council is supportive of this Police request, as it will assist with improved Police
response times in the Randwick and Botany Bay council areas. It is suggested that the
proposed slight lowering of the median traffic island be also accompanied by a ‘No U-
Turn’ sign. It should be noted that NSW Road Rule no.305 provides for exemptions
from the road rules for the driver of a Police vehicle, in certain circumstances. Under
NSW Road Rule 305 Police on an urgent call-out would likely be exempt from the
signposted No U-Turn control.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. It be noted that the Traffic Committee raises no objection to the proposed slight
lowering of a section of the Maroubra Road median traffic island, opposite
Robey Street, Maroubra; and
2. If a section of the Maroubra Road median island is lowered, a No U-Turn sign
(double-sided) be installed at this location.

4.23 MOVERLY ROAD / ANZAC PARADE, MAROUBRA (M) Signage Parking
(D02269648-TL) (AD)
The Lycée Condorcet International French School at Moverly Road, Maroubra, has
commissioned an examination of its traffic and parking requirements.
The study has resulted in proposed alterations to certain parking restrictions on the
southern side of Moverly Road, between Anzac Parade and Loch Maree Street, and, the
eastern side of Anzac Parade, between Moverly Road and Storey Street.
At the time of preparation of this Agenda the final detailed plans of the proposed
parking changes were not available. They will be made available to the Voting
Members as early as possible and will be incorporated within the Minutes of the Traffic
Committee meeting.
Mr Lehmann (RCC) tabled the plans as submitted by the French School’s traffic
consultant. After some lengthy discussion and in consideration of the concerns of the
STA, with regard to moving a school bus service from a local street onto a state
arterial road, it was agreed that a meeting should be held to discuss the proposal
further.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That a meeting be held to discuss the proposed parking alterations in Moverly Road
and Anzac Parade; with the Police, STA, RMS, Transport for NSW, and school
representatives being invited.
4.24 ROBEY STREET, MAROUBRA (M) Signage Parking – Works Zone
(D2259655-LM) (AD) The Council has received an application from Trinity Constructions P/L for a 29 metre
long works zone to be installed on the eastern side of Robey Street, Maroubra along

The works zone is required to facilitate construction works for approximately nine
months and is intended to operate from 7:00am-5:00pm Mondays to Fridays and
8:00am-4:00pm on Saturdays. The kerb space at this location is currently
unrestricted.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 29m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-4:00pm Sat, be
installed on the eastern side of Robey Street, Maroubra, across the frontage of

the traffic flow pattern on Runic Lane and Hannan Lane, and a permanent road closure
of Runic Lane between Hannan Lane and Anzac Parade. This Traffic Management Plan
(TMP) has been considered by Roads and Maritime Services.
As the works to close the section of Runic Lane with bollards is ready to commence the
installation of directional signage and pavement arrows support the TMP must be
considered. Shown below is a signage plan to inform motorists of the altered traffic
flow pattern identified in the TMP.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. One way directional signage (orientated for a northbound traffic flow) be installed on Hannan Lane at the intersection of Storey Street;
2. That No Entry and One Way signage (westbound flow) be installed on Runic Lane at the intersection of Hannan Street;
3. That a No Stopping area be created between the driveway access points of
No.6312-633 Anzac Parade;
4. That one way directional signage (westbound) be installed on Runic Lane at the intersection of Hannan Lane;

6.1 VIRGINIA STREET / BAKER STREET, KENSINGTON (H) Development Application – Transport Comment
(DA/536/2014-TL) (AD)
Local residents, Mr John Carter and Mr John Procopiadis, attended the Committee and
regarding the proposed child care at 2 Virginia Street (corner of Baker Street). They
raised a number of issues including:
Likely poor parking behaviour in the area due to the “half-pipe” configuration of
the gutter along the northern side of Baker Street.
The current lack of a bus service and the removal of the previous bus service.
A request for a trial of bus manoeuvres around the subject corner, with the
proposed kerb nibs marked up and delineated on site.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 10 FEBRUARY 2015
MINUTES 28
The likely behaviour by parents and guardians in removing their smaller
children from the driver’s side rear door resulting in a possible unsafe situation
given the central islands painted at this location.
The necessity for local residents to move their cars prior to 7:15am due to the
proposed 15 minute parking restrictions.
The use by many motorists of the Virginia / Baker Streets route, as a “rat run”
to avoid the Lenthall Street / Todman Avenue traffic signals.
Mr Lehmann detailed the condition imposed by the Land and Environment Court
relating to the kerb nibs proposed. He clarified that an Occupation Certificate could
not issued until all works associated with the proposed kerb nibs were completed.
It was agreed that Council would inform Mr Carter and Mr Procopiadis on the progress
with regard to the proposed kerb nibs and invite them to the relevant Traffic
Committee meeting at which they will be discussed.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That Mr Carter and Mr Procopiadis be kept informed of progress with regard to the
proposed kerb nibs associated with DA/536/2014 at 2 Virginia Street, Kensington.
6.2 GLOUCESTER PLACE / TODMAN AVENUE, KENSINGTON (H) Road Safety - Intersection
(D02283746-TL) (AD)
Mr Cook, local resident, informed the Committee of his concerns regarding the ability
of residents (and others) to safely turn out of Gloucester Place into Todman Avenue.
Mr Lehmann stated that he had investigated this matter and that it may be quite
difficult to easily address the residents’ concerns. He stated that whilst a “seagull”
intersection treatment (similar to the Brompton Road / Todman Avenue intersection)
may seem appropriate, it would be expensive; particularly given that Gloucester Place
services only some 200 dwellings. He reminded the Committee that there were many
T-junctions intersecting with busy collector roads within the Council area and that it
would be difficult to modify all of these intersections. He also advised that his
examination of the crash history of this location had indicated that this intersection
was performing well, from a road safety perspective.
One matter which Mr Lehmann did raise was that it was his observation, also
supported by numerous photographic sources, that vehicles often parked in Todman
Avenue close to Gloucester Place.
Mr Procopiadis stated that he had often observed vehicles parked in Todman Avenue
close to Duke Street.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A report be brought back to this Committee with regard to vehicles parking in
Todman Avenue, too close to the intersection with Gloucester Place and too
close to the intersection with Duke Street, and
2. The Gloucester Place / Todman Avenue intersection be closely considered when
any adjustment to linemarking or other changes are considered for Todman
Avenue.

Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the information be received.
6.5 HIGH STREET, RANDWICK (C) Signage Parking – Bus Zone
(D01748392 / D02069734 / D01680302-TL) (AD)
Ms Moustacas (UNSW) enquired as to the current status of the proposed relocation of

Rosadi informed the Committee that, just this morning, he had received advice from
the Council’s signage crew that they had undertaken the necessary Bus Zone signage
work to facilitate the proposed bus zone relocation.
Mr Graham reminded the Committee members that, given the complexities involved
with geocoding bus stop locations, in association with the Opal card system, it was his
advice to not finalise this relocation until further advised by Transport for NSW.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the previously approved bus stop relocation in High Street, west of Anzac Parade,
be undertaken as soon as possible.
The meeting closed 11.01am.
