HERDSMANS AVENUE AND COLLEGE STREET, LIDCOMBE – PROPOSED INTERSECTION TREATMENT
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Auburn
Police Area Command (PAC): Auburn
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
Council has received safety concerns from residents at the intersections of Herdsmans Avenue and College Street, Lidcombe.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that:
1. The installation of ‘Give Way’ signs, line marking, and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions at the intersection of Herdsmans Avenue and College Street, Lidcombe, in accordance with attached plan be approved.
2. The affected / concerned residents be notified of the outcome.
Report
Herdsmans Avenue is local road that runs in a north-south direction with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 6.5 m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.
College Street is a local road that runs north-south between Cobden Parkes Crescent and Herdsmans Avenue, and east-west between Herdsmans Avenue and Main Avenue. The road is approximately 7 meters wide, with parking allowed on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.
Herdsmans Avenue and College Street forming a Y- intersection with priority to College Street.
The map below shows the intersection.
Locality Plan
The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data indicated that there were no reported accidents at this intersection in the last 5 years ending September 2023.
Residents have raised concerns about vehicles parking within 10 metres of the intersection. Inspections confirmed that vehicles are parking too close to the intersection, creating potential safety risks. To address this, it is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ restrictions and ‘BL2’ line marking at the intersection.
Inspections also revealed that no line marking or signage is provided at this intersection and the Y-shaped intersection could confuse drivers, as the road geometry makes the 'Give Way' priorities unclear.
In accordance with Australian Standard AS 1742.2-2009 – Part 2: Traffic Control Devices for General Use, controls are required at all non-signalised intersections in the following manner:
a) GIVE WAY signs shall be provided at all intersections with four or more legs.
b) GIVE WAY signs shall be provided at any three-way intersections where the layout is such that it is not clear how or whether the T-intersection rule would operate, for example, at a Y-intersection.
c) GIVE WAY signs should be used for road safety reasons at unsignalised T-intersections in both rural and urban areas where the major road is an arterial or collect type road.
Based on point (b) above, 'Give Way' signage is warranted at this location. Therefore, it is recommended that ‘Give Way’ controls be provided at the intersection of Herdsmans Avenue and College Street to prevent vehicles from failure to give way to traffic on College Street.
COnsultation
The proposal was notified to the impacted and adjacent residents for a period of 14 days starting from 25 November 2024 to 11 December 2024.
Council received one objection, the resident requesting that Give Way or Stop controls be implemented on College Street instead of Herdsmans Avenue, citing concerns about excessive vehicle speeds on College Street. The resident also suggested installing traffic calming devices along College Street to reduce speeding.
As College Street functions as a continuous main road, while Herdsmans Avenue is a minor street connecting to it and carrying significantly less traffic, giving priority to Herdsmans Avenue would likely cause confusion for motorists and increase the risk of collisions.

GILBA ROAD AND PENDLE WAY, PENDLE HILL – PROPOSED RELOCATION OF THE EXISTING FENCE
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Prospect
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
Council has received safety concerns from a resident regarding the fence at the intersection of Gilba Road and Pendle Way, Pendle Hill.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that the existing fence at the south-west corner at the intersection of Gilba Road and Pendle Way, Pendle Hill be relocated approximately 500mm away from the intersection in accordance with the attached plan be approved.
Report
Gilba Road is a collector road running east-west with a speed limit of 50 km/h. The road is approximately 12 meters wide and has parking restrictions near its intersection with Pendle Way.
Similarly, Pendle Way is a collector road running east-west with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It is also 12 meters wide and has parking restrictions at its intersection with Gilba Road.
These two roads form a T-intersection, which is currently controlled by a roundabout. Pedestrian safety fences are installed at both corners of the intersection to protect pedestrians.
The map below shows the location.
It is alleged that heavy vehicles often damage the pedestrian safety fence at the south-west corner of the intersection when making a right turn from Pendle Way into Gilba Road.
The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data indicated that there were no reported accidents at this intersection in the last 5 years ending September 2023.
However, to address the potential safety hazard caused by heavy vehicle movements, a design adjustment is necessary.
A turning path assessment revealed that the existing fence at the south-west corner does not provide sufficient space for a 12.5-meter truck to complete the right turn. As a result, the overhang of the vehicle often collides with and damages the fence.
To maintain pedestrian safety and accommodate turning vehicles, it is proposed to relocate the existing pedestrian safety fence at the south-west corner approximately 500 mm away from the intersection.
The current distance between the fence and the edge of the footpath on the residential side is approximately 3.5 metres, which complies with the relevant standards for footpath width. This adjustment will ensure sufficient clearance for heavy vehicles while maintaining pedestrian safety.
COnsultation
Consultation is not required as no residents or businesses will be directly impacted by the proposed work.

KIBO ROAD AND THIRD AVENUE, REGENTS PARK - PROPOSED ‘NO STOPPING’ RESTRICTIONS AND CENTRE LINE MARKING
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Auburn
Police Area Command (PAC): Auburn
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
Council has received safety concerns from residents of Third Avenue at the intersection of Kibo Road and Third Avenue, Regents Park.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that:
1. The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs and line marking at the intersection of Kibo Road and Third Avenue, Regents Park in accordance with attached plan be approved.
2. The affected / concerned residents be notified of the outcome.
Report
Kibo Road is a local road that runs in an east-west direction, approximately 700m long between Nottinghill Road and Kingsland Road with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 12.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.
Third Avenue is a local road that runs in a north-south direction between Kibo Road and Hyde Park Road with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 7.2 m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road in accordance with Road Rules unless otherwise signposted.
Both Kibo Road and Third Avenue form a T- intersection with priority to Kibo Road. There are ‘STOP’ signs and associated line marking on Third Avenue at the intersection.
In mid-2024, Council installed five concrete raised thresholds (speed humps) in Kibo Road.
The map below shows the intersection and surrounds:
The latest Centre for Road Safety crash data indicated that there were no reported crashes at this intersection in the last 5 years ending March 2024.
Concerns were raised by residents indicating that vehicles are parking close to the intersection and reducing site distance for vehicles exiting Third Avenue. It was alleged that the crest point on Kibo Road west of Third Avenue combined with parked vehicles at the corner reduces the site distance for vehicles. It is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ restrictions, ‘BL2’ centreline marking at this intersection. The signs and line marking would strengthen the Road Rules requirement, stop vehicles from parking close to the intersection.
The ‘No Stopping’ signs are proposed to be installed on both sides of Third Avenue at 13m to allow vehicles to safely Council pass a parked car without encroaching the proposed ‘BL2’ line marking in the narrow road.
Council undertook consultation with adjacent residents in December 2024. Council received 4 submissions. All submissions were from residents who are not directly impacted by the proposal. The submissions requested that the proposed ‘No Stopping’ sign on the northern side of Kibo Road west of Third Avenue be relocated further west to a location at 24m instead of the 15m proposed. The submissions also indicated that there were ‘No Stopping’ restrictions at this intersection several years back and the signs were removed. Council’s investigations could noy find any evidence of previous approvals at this location.
However, it is noted that the Road Rule requires 10m ‘No Stopping’ zones at intersections and the 15m proposed will enhance safety at the intersection. An increased length (24m) of ‘No Stopping’ zone west of the intersection will impact on available parking in the area. Furthermore, the ‘STOP’ control provided previously is as a result of the reduced sight distance available at the intersection.
COnsultation
The proposal was notified to the impacted and adjacent residents for a period of 14 days starting from 27 November 2024 to 11 December 2024.
There were four responses received.

Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Granville
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
Council has received safety concerns from residents at the intersection of Kimberley Street at Woodville Road, Merrylands.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that:
1. The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs and BL2 line marking at the intersection of Kimberley Street and Woodville Road, Merrylands in accordance with the attached plan be approved.
2. The affected / concerned residents be notified of the outcome.
Report
Woodville Road is a state road that runs in a north-south direction with a speed limit of 70 km/h. It has a width of approximately 18m and parking is not permitted on both sides of the road.
Kimberley Street is a local road that runs in an east-west direction with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 10m with indented parking bays on both sides of the street.
Currently, a concrete median island exists in Kimberley Street near the intersection of Woodville Road to control and separate traffic.
The map below shows the intersection.
Locality Plan
A local resident reported that vehicles often park too close to the median island, creating significant challenges for motorists to navigate through the area safely and smoothly.
The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data indicated that there were no reported accidents related to parked vehicles at this intersection in the last 5 years ending September 2023.
A site inspection identified that vehicles often park too close to the median island, causing difficulty for motorists navigating Kimberley Street near Woodville Road.
To address these concerns and enhance both safety and accessibility, it is proposed to implement 'No Stopping' restrictions on both sides of Kimberley Street at its intersection with Woodville Road, accompanied by 12 metres of BL2 line marking.
These measures aim to prevent vehicles from parking near the median island, ensure compliance with Road Rules make it easier to pass through the intersection safely.
COnsultation
The proposal was notified to the impacted and adjacent residents for a period of 14 days starting from 27 November 2024 to 11 December 2024.
Council received two responses in support of the proposal.

CLUNIES ROSS STREET, PEMULWUY – PROPOSED 'NO STOPPING' RESTRICITONS
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Prospect
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
Council has received safety concerns from the Police regarding heavy vehicles parking on the eastern side of Clunies Ross Street, outside No.6-20.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that:
1. The existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the eastern side of Clunies Ross Street, Pemulwuy outside No. 6-20 be extended 30m north in accordance with the attached plan be approved.
2. The affected/concerned residents/businesses be notified of the outcome.
Report
Clunies Ross Street is a local road running north–south with a speed limit of 50 km/h. The bend near No. 6-20 Clunies Ross Street marks the boundary between Cumberland City Council and Blacktown City Council. Areas north and west of the bend fall under Blacktown City Council, while areas south and east are managed by Cumberland City Council.
The road is approximately 11 metres wide, with parking permitted along certain sections on the eastern side. Currently, BL2 line marking is in place between Wombat Street and the driveway of Nos. 6–20.
The map below shows the location.
Locality Plan
It is alleged that heavy vehicles are often parked too close to the driveways of No 6-20 35 Clunies Ross Street, Pemulwuy. This parking behaviour obstructs the view for drivers exiting the properties onto Clunies Ross Street.
The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data shows no reported accident at this section of Clunies Ross Street in the last five years ending September 2023.
Council officers investigated the issue and confirmed that heavy vehicles are being parked very close to the driveways of Nos. 6–20 Clunies Ross Street. To enhance safety in this area, it is proposed to extend the existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the eastern side of the street outside Nos. 6–20 by approximately 30 metres to the north.
COnsultation
Consultation is not required as the matter was raised by NSW Police on behalf of the business located at Nos. 6–20, and no other residents or businesses will be affected.

The section of Railway Street east of East Street and East Street are regional roads pursuant to Roads Act 1993.
The map below shows the intersection.
Council has received a request from a resident for parking restrictions at the intersection of Railway Street and East Street, Lidcombe.
A site inspection indicated that vehicles are parking at or very close to this intersection. It is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the northern side of Railway Street at the intersection. Vehicles parking near the intersection will narrow the roadway below the required width for vehicles to drive through. The attached plan details the proposed ‘No Stopping’ restrictions. There are existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the southern side of Railway Street at both sides of the roundabout.
Site inspections indicated that the line marking at and on the approaches to the roundabout has faded and requires re-painting and this work will be undertaken under maintenance.
COnsultation
Consultation has not been undertaken as the adjacent property (on the northern side of Railway Street) is Sydney Trains property and normally parked by commuters.

MONA STREET, SOUTH GRANVILLE – PARKING RESTRICTION MODIFICATION
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Granville
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
Council has received a request from a resident to review the existing parking restrictions on the southern side of Mona Street, South Granville near Clyde Street to improve traffic flow.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter and recommendations.
The Traffic Committee recommends that:
1. Replace the existing ‘No Parking, 2:30pm - 6:30pm, Mon – Fri’ on the southern side of Mona Street between No. 150 to No.172 to ‘No Parking, 7am – 9:30am, 2:30pm – 6:30pm, Mon – Fri’ as per attached plan.
2. Install a 27m Bus Zone at the existing bus stop on the southern side of Mona Street near No. 172 as per attached plan.
3. The affected/concerned residents be notified of the outcome.
Report
Mona Street is a local road that runs in an east-west direction. Mona Street has a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has approximately 1.3km in length and approximately 12.6m in width. Parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.
The interested section is the southern side of Mona Street near Clyde Street between No. 142 to No.172. The intersection of Mona Street and Clyde Street is a signalised intersection. The westbound traffic has two marked travel lanes and on the approach to the signalised intersection there are existing ‘No parking, 2:30pm - 6:30pm, Mon – Fri’ parking restrictions for a length of approximately 170m.
The map below shows the area:
The resident alleges that there were significant delays for the westbound traffic during the morning peak period at the signalised intersection, caused by parked vehicles at this section of the road.
An investigation found that when vehicles are parked on the southern side of Mona Street near Clyde Street, they do restrict access for drivers attempting to use the left lane during the morning peak period. This subsequently increases travel time and queuing at the intersection.
Council consulted with the affected and nearby residents. A total of 21 letters with an attached survey form and a plan were distributed to the nearby residents/owners.
The proposal was to extend the current afternoon 'No Parking' restriction to include the morning peak, resulting in 'No Parking, 7am – 9:30am, 2:30pm – 6:30pm, Mon – Fri.
Council received 4 responses (19% of the letters sent) by the closing date. Of these, 2 (50%) supported the proposal, while 2 (50%) objected.
The objection noted that there has been no change in traffic conditions on this section of Mona Street since 2016. It also mentioned that a similar proposal was reviewed and rejected by the City of Parramatta Council in 2016.
Given the frequent concerns raised by residents and the community in recent years, and that no responses were received from most properties covered by the consultation, it is proposed to add a morning peak parking restriction to the existing afternoon ‘No Parking’ restriction, creating a combined ‘No Parking, 7am – 9:30am, 2:30pm – 6:30pm, Mon – Fri.’ This would improve traffic flow for westbound vehicles at the signalised intersection and provide a wider community benefit.
Additionally, it is also proposed to install ‘Bus Zone’ signage at the existing bus stop in front of No. 170 to reinforce the NSW Road Rules as shown in the attached plan.
COnsultation
The proposal was notified to the impacted/ concerned residents for a period of 14 days starting from 27 June to 15 July 2024.
There were 4 responses received, with 2 in support and 2 objections to the proposal.

OLD PROSPECT ROAD AND GRAFTON STEET, GREYSTANES – PROPOSED GIVEWAY SIGNAGE AND LINE MARKING
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Prospect
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
This report provides a response to Council’s Notice of Motion – Intersection of Grafton Street and Old Prospect Rd, Greystanes, as resolved at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 13 November 2024 (Min.842 C11/24-29).
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that:
1. The installation of ‘Give Way’ signage and line marking at the intersection of Old Prospect Road and Grafton Street, Greystanes in accordance with the attached plan be approved.
2. The affected / concerned residents be notified of the outcome.
Report
Old Prospect Road is a Collector Road that runs in an east-west direction with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 12m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted. ‘BB’ centre lines are marked in Old Prospect Road.
Grafton Street runs in a north – south direction with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 7.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road in accordance with Road Rules unless otherwise signposted.
Old Prospect Road and Grafton Street form a T-intersection. The intersection does not have a ‘Give Way’ sign; however, default priority applies with Old Prospect Road having priority.
The map below shows the intersection:
Locality Plan
Council has received several requests from residents regarding the provision of give way control at the intersection of Old Prospect Road and Grafton Street.
Council, at a meeting held on 13 November 2024, resolved on a Notice of Motion – ‘Intersection of Grafton Street and Old Prospect Rd, Greystanes’ and resolved the following;
1. Council resolves to investigate the implementation of a Stop sign at the intersection of Grafton St and Old Prospect Rd Greystanes.
2. Refer the matter to the Traffic Committee for consideration at the next meeting.
3. The appropriate budget be identified as part of the above report.
The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data indicates that there were no reported accidents at this intersection in the past five years ending September 2023. However, a resident has reported a recent accident at this location, which occurred due to a vehicle failing to slow down and give way at the intersection.
Based on Australian Standard AS 1742.2-2022 – Part 2: Traffic Control Devices for General Use, controls are required at all non-signalised intersections in the following manner:
a) GIVE WAY signs shall be provided at all intersections with four or more legs.
b) GIVE WAY signs shall be provided at any three-way intersections where the layout is such that it is not clear how or whether the T-intersection rule would operate, for example, at a Y-intersection.
c) GIVE WAY signs should be used for road safety reasons at unsignalised T-intersections in both rural and urban areas where the major road is an arterial or collector type road.
d) STOP signs shall be provided instead of GIVE WAY signs at items (a), (b) and (c) on any controlled approach where intersection sight distance is limited by a permanent obstruction as determined in accordance with Clause 2.5.3. Stop signs shall not be used where intersection sight distance is adequate for GIVE WAY signs.
Based on these requirements, a ‘Stop’ sign is not warranted at this location, as the sight distance for vehicles turning from Grafton Street onto Old Prospect Road is not limited. However, in accordance with warrant (c) of AS1742.2 – Part 2 and considering the recent accident, the provision of ‘Give Way’ signage and associated line marking can be considered at this intersection.
To improve the safety of the intersection and ensure compliance with the Australian Standard, it is recommended that a ‘Give Way’ sign with associated line marking be installed in Grafton Street at the intersection of Old Prospect Road.
COnsultation
Consultation is not required as the proposed 'Give Way' signage and line marking will not directly impact nearby residents.

RAWSON STREET, AUBURN AT DARTBROOK ROAD – REQUEST FOR ‘KEEP CLEAR’ LINE MARKING
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Auburn
Police Area Command (PAC): Auburn
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
Council has previously received requests from Auburn Gallipoli Mosque and others for the installation of ‘Keep Clear’ pavement markings on Rawson Street, Auburn at the intersection of Dartbrook Road.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
That the Traffic Committee recommends that the installation of ‘Keep Clear’ pavement marking at the intersection of Rawson Road and Dartbrook Road, Auburn in accordance with the attached plan be approved.
Report
Rawson Street is a regional road that runs in an east-west direction between St Hilliers Road and Parramatta Road. The speed limit in the Rawson Street section between Karrabah Road and St Hilliers Road is 50km/h. This section of Rawson Street has a width of approximately 12m with parking restrictions on both sides of the road.
There is also part time ‘No Stopping’ signs installed on the northern side of Rawson Street between the full time ‘No Stopping’ zones at the traffic signals at St Hilliers Road and Station Street.
Dartbrook Road is a local road that runs in a north-south direction with a speed limit of 50km/h. It has a width of approximately 12m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted.
Rawson Street and Dartbrook Road form a four-way intersection with priority to Rawson Street. The intersection is approximately 125-130m from the signalised intersections of Rawson Street / Station Road and Rawson Street / St Hilliers Road.
Dartbrook Road north of Rawson Street has left / left out control at Rawson Street. Rawson Street already has ‘Do Not Queue Across Intersection’ signs installed on the southern approach at the intersection with Dartbrook Road which is proving ineffective.
Council has previously received requests from Auburn Gallipoli Mosque and worshippers to install ‘Keep Clear’ on the pavement at the intersection of Rawson Street and Dartbrook Road to prevent vehicles queuing across the intersection at peak times.
This intersection is the only available right turn movement into the precinct from Rawson Street. The only other option to access the precinct is to turn at the Station Road / Rawson Street traffic signals. This signal does not provide sufficient time for right turning vehicles and as such entry is typically split.
Cumberland Traffic Committee considered a report regarding a request to provide ‘Keep Clear’ pavement marking at its meeting on 1 June 2022 and recommended that the installation of ‘Keep Clear’ pavement marking at the intersection of Rawson Street and Dartbrook Road, Auburn not be approved and to request Auburn Police Area Command to monitor the location during peak periods.
In accordance with the NSW Road Rules, it is illegal to queue across an intersection. ‘Keep Clear’ Pavement markings are generally used outside Ambulance and Fire Brigade driveways and critical intersections close to signalised intersection where vehicles queuing to right turn into side roads might result in interfering with the performance of the signalised intersection.
Due to the queue length at this section of Rawson Street, there is minimum opportunity (gap) available to turn right into Dartbrook Road from Rawson Street. This is likely to result an impact on the performance of both signalised intersections near Dartbrook Road.
Council has now received further requests to provide the pavement marking following a crash that occurred in November 2024.
Following the continued concerns from the community, Council ordered video recording of the intersection for queue analysis. Based on the video data, it was observed that the intersection of Dartbrook Road and Rawson Street was blocked 17 and 26 times during the morning and evening peak hours on a typical day. It was also observed the intersection was blocked several times during other times.
This issue was raised with Transport for NSW again. Following discussions, TfNSW indicated that in view of the queuing that occurs in Rawson Street, they would consider providing ‘Keep Clear’ marking on half the road (the left half of Dartbrook Road) as shown in the attached plan.
COnsultation
Consultation was not undertaken as it does not impact on any property. However, initial consultation was undertaken with Transport for NSW to determine if the proposal could be supported.

JONES STREET, WENTWORTHVILLE – ROAD SAFETY CONCERNS – CONSULTATION RESULT
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Prospect
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 1
Note: Recommended for Approval under Delegated Authority
Summary
Council has received a request from a local resident for the installation of speed humps on Jones Street, Wentworthville due to speeding concerns.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Cumberland Traffic Committee recommends that:
1. Council install ‘BL2’ centre line marking and ‘EL1’ Edge Line marking in Jones Street, Wentworthville in accordance with the attached plans.
2. Council notify the concerned residents of the outcome.
Report
Jones Street is a local road that runs in a north - south direction between Great Western Highway and Stapleton Street with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 12.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted.
The northern side of Jones Street is an industrial area, while the southern side is predominantly residential.
Council has received concerns from a local resident regarding road safety on Jones Street, Wentworthville.
The matter was investigated and reported to Cumberland Traffic Committee (CTC) in the past. A summary of the report and recommendations are listed below:
Background
1 February 2023:
CTC considered a report (CTC-23-024) regarding the road safety concerns on Jones Street and recommended that:
1. Council review traffic count data on Jones Street, Wentworthville and report back to the Traffic Committee in June 2023.
2. Council request Cumberland Police Area Command to undertake speed surveillance in Jones Street, Wentworthville.
2 August 2023:
In accordance with the recommendation, Council reviewed the traffic count data and reported to the August CTC 2023 (CTC-23-127). Traffic Committee recommended that:
The Traffic Committee recommends that Council undertake consultation with the residents of Jones Street, Wentworthville to assess support or otherwise of resident for installation of traffic calming devices in the street and report back to the Traffic Committee.
3 April 2024:
Following the CTC recommendation in August 2023, Council undertook consultation with the residents of Jones Street and reported to CTC in April 2024 (CTC-24-081). The Cumberland Traffic Committee recommended:
1. Council prepare design of speed humps, undertake consultation with the directly affected and adjacent residents and report back to Traffic Committee.
2. Council notify the concerned residents of the outcome.
In accordance with the recommendation, consultation was carried out with the residents in Jones Street in November 2024. A total of 32 letters with an attached survey form and a plan were distributed to the affected residents/ owners.
Council received 7 responses including one response from the same address (22% of the total letters sent) by the closing date, 2 (28.6%) supported the proposed speed humps, and 5 (71.4%) opposed to the proposal.
The survey results showed that the majority of respondents opposed the proposed speed humps, primarily due to concerns about trucks driving over the proposed speed humps and generating noises.
Previous traffic count data recorded an 85th percentile speed of 60.5 km/h on Jones Street. The street has a daily traffic volume of 5,730 vehicles, a pavement width of 12.5 meters, and a centreline marking (BL2) between Dunmore Street and Smith Street.
Since the majority of respondents have rejected the speed hump proposal, Council officers have investigated line marking options in Jones Street instead of speed humps.
As per ‘Transport for NSW Delineation and Pavement Marking Standard’, the installation of Dividing Line Marking is warranted:
· Where AADT is greater than 2,500 vehicles on urban roads.
· Pavement width is greater than 5.5m.
Additionally, Barrier Line (BL2) Centre Line Marking instead of dividing lines is warranted:
· Where there is limited overtaking sight distances due to vertical/ horizontal curves
· Where a hazardous condition exists.
Edge lines (EL1) are used:
· Where dividing lines or lane lines are present
· Where the pavement width is greater than 6.8 m.
As the street meets the warrant for BL2 and EL1 line marking, it is proposed to install edge line markings to enhance driver safety within the carriageway and centre line markings for the unmarked section of Jones Street.
COnsultation
The speed hump proposal was notified to the impacted residents for a period of 14 days from 25 November 2024 to 11 December 2024. A total of 32 letters were distributed to the residents / owners with an attached survey form and a plan.
Council received 7 responses (22% of the total letters sent) by the closing date, two (2) supporting the proposed speed humps and five (5) objecting to the proposal.

OXFORD STREET AND HIGHLAND STREET, GUILDFORD - AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT BLACK SPOT PROGRAM
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Granville
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 2
Note: Recommendation to Council
Summary
Council has received funding under the Australian Government Black Spot Program for the construction of a roundabout the intersection of Oxford Street and Highland Street, Guildford.
This report outlines the proposal to improve road safety at the intersection, consultation undertaken thus far and the next steps prior to seeking traffic committee approval.
The Traffic Committee recommends:
1. Council officers consult with the community on the amended plan of the proposed roundabout at the intersection of Oxford Street and Highland Street, Guildford.
2. Affected residents and residents who signed the petition be notified.
3. Report the results of the consultation to a future Traffic Committee meeting.
Report
Oxford Street is a regional road and runs in an east-west direction from Woodville Road and has a speed limit of 60 km/hr.
Highland Street is a local road which runs in a north-south direction from Oxford Street and has a speed limit of 50 km/hr.
Oxford Street and Highland Street, Guildford form a T-intersection. Granville South Public School is situated at the corner of Woodville Road and Oxford Street. Highland Street forms the western boundary for the school and acts as a drop-off/pick-up location.
The figure below shows details of the intersection and surrounding road network.
Based on the crash record at the intersection and ongoing concerns raised by residents and the school, Council officers have investigated the intersection performance and nominated the site under Australian Government Black Spot Program. The submission was based on the latest Centre for Road Safety crash data at the time of the application which are summarised below:
Crash Period Investigated: July 2017 – June 2022 (5 years)
Total number of crashes: 4
Total number of injury crashes: 4
Primary crash type: 1 pedestrian
3 other manoeuvres (2 Rear end)
Proposed treatment: Single Lane roundabout.
It should be noted that the Centre for Road Safety crash data provides information on reported crashes only and the application was based on available crashes at the time of the application.
Following the submission, Council has received a formal notification from the Transport for NSW advising that the submission was successful. In response to the successful application, a concept plan has been prepared in accordance with current Transport for NSW Guidelines, and consultation was subsequently undertaken on the proposal to report to the Traffic Committee.
During the consultation period, several objections were raised by residents through a petition, with the primary concerns regarding, the impact to property access and loss of on-street carparking because of the proposed roundabout installation.
Based on these objections, the design of the proposed roundabout at the intersection of Oxford Street and Highland Street was amended with consideration of matters raised during consultation.
It is noted that the amended design resolves the access concerns from the residents at the roundabout. The vehicular crossings of these properties have also been widened appropriately to allow access.
Council now seek approval to consult on the revised design, with a further report to the Traffic Committee following the outcome of this process.
It is also noted that the development application for the proposed Merrylands East Local Centre requires the applicant to provide a roundabout at this location as part of the conditions of approval. While there is an alternate pathway for the provision of the roundabout at the intersection, the applicant is yet to obtain a Construction Certificate to progress with the development application. Given the ongoing safety concerns raised by residents and the school, as well as the provision of grant funding for the roundabout, it is prudent for Council to progress the roundabout in the immediate term to respond to the safety concerns raised.
COnsultation
Consultation was undertaken with affected properties for 14 days from 9 October 2024 to 23 October 2024.
A petition was received from 50 signatories from 25 properties along Oxford Street, Highland Street and Harold Street objecting to the proposal.
The plan has been amended to address the concerns raised.

Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Auburn
Police Area Command (PAC): Auburn
Agenda Part Part 2
Note: Recommendation to Council
Summary
Council is currently working on the implementation of the Lidcombe Town Centre Public Domain Plan which has been adopted by Council at its meeting on 2 August 2023. The first stage of works under the Plan is identified as Joseph Street Precinct, which has received funding under the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants (formerly WestInvest) program.
This report outlines the proposed raised pedestrian crossing on Bridge Street, Lidcombe, as part of the project.
The Traffic Committee recommends that the proposed raised pedestrian crossing on Bridge Street, Lidcombe, as part of the Joseph Street Precinct Upgrade to implement the Lidcombe Town Centre Public Domain Plan, be approved.
Report
Council adopted Lidcombe Town Centre Public Domain Plan at its meeting on 2 August 2023. The first stage of works under the Plan is identified as Joseph Street Precinct, including Bridge Street upgrade. Council received $7.6 million in funding under the NSW Government’s WestInvest grant program through the Lidcombe Town Centre High Street Activation project to implement these works.
Works identified for this precinct include establishment of new outdoor dining area on Joseph Street, improved permeability and accessibility for all ages and abilities though out the Precinct, upgrade pedestrian crossings, new street furniture including lighting, and opportunities to establish public art projects.
i) As part of the project, Council proposes to raise the intersection of Joseph Street and Bridge Street, and provide a pedestrian crossing on Bridge Street. This location is used by many pedestrians, including the residents in the new apartments south of Vaughan Street and the residents / visitors west of Olympic Drive accessing the station.
A map below shows the location of the proposed raised pedestrian crossing.
Council organised a pedestrian count at the location on a Thursday and a Saturday in early April 2024. The results of the counts are presented in the table below.
Pedestrian Crossing Warrants
Council has developed its own guidelines for the provision of pedestrian crossings on local roads especially at high demand locations including schools, community facilities, parks, hospitals, medical facilities, town centres, neighbourhood shops and public transport facilities.
A pedestrian (zebra) crossing is deemed to meet the numerical warrant for a pedestrian (zebra) crossing if the crossing point meets the following criteria:
· In each of two separate one-hour periods in a typical day, the pedestrian flow per hour crossing the road is or is expected to be equal to or greater than 20, and vehicle volumes be equal to or greater than 200. Where each unaccompanied child, elderly person or mobility impaired pedestrian is counted as two pedestrians.
In addition to the above, all requirements set down in Australian Standards are to be met.
Based on the data collated, the warrant for pedestrians crossing at this location was higher than the warrant and the number of vehicles was higher than the warrant. In addition, the approved Public Domain Plan also indicated the provision of a raised pedestrian crossing on Bridge Street at its intersection with Joseph Street.
It is recommended that the proposed pedestrian crossing at this location be approved. A plan showing the raised pedestrian crossing associated works is provided below and attached.

Locality Plan
Council organised a pedestrian count at the location on a Thursday and a Saturday in early November 2024 to assess the pedestrian usage. The results of the counts are presented in the table below.
Pedestrian Crossing Warrants
Council has developed its own guidelines for the provision of pedestrian crossings on local roads especially at high demand locations including schools, community facilities, parks, hospitals, medical facilities, town centres, neighbourhood shops and public transport facilities.
A pedestrian (zebra) crossing is deemed to meet the numerical warrant for a pedestrian (zebra) crossing if the crossing point meets the following criteria:

Where each unaccompanied child, elderly person or mobility impaired pedestrian is counted as two pedestrians.
In addition to the above, all requirements set down in Australian Standards are to be met.
Based on the data collated, the warrant for pedestrians crossing at this location was higher than the warrant and the number of vehicles was lower than the warrant. However, the guideline allows for a deviation in the warrant for pedestrian crossings for circumstances where there is a strategic link. The crossing supports a key north-south pedestrian link in the Lidcombe Town Centre, providing access for people to reach retail, community facilities and public transport services.
It is recommended that the proposed pedestrian crossing at this location be approved. A plan showing the raised pedestrian crossing associated works is provided below and attached. The raised platform comprising the crossing is extended into Taylor Street up to the ‘No Stopping’ area.

MIMOSA STREET, GRANVILLE - PARTIAL ROAD CLOSURE AT DUCK RIVER
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Granville
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 2
Note: Recommendation to Council
Summary
Council proposes to close a short length of the Mimosa Street Road Reserve, Granville and convert it into a parklet linking Duck River Reserve Park as part of the Duck River Parklands Strategic Masterplan adopted by Council in December 2022.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that Council approve the partial road closure of Mimosa Street, Granville, in accordance with the attached plan.
Report
Council is currently working on the implementation of the Duck River Parklands Strategic Masterplan adopted by Council at its meeting of 21 December 2022. The Masterplan identifies a Parklet on Mimosa Street Granville as a high priority to improve active transport links, enhance community participation and connection to Duck River, and to deliver multiple ecosystem services simultaneously to improve the health outcomes for the river. In 2023-2024, Council received a Metro Greenspace Grant to construct the Mimosa Street Parklet.
The Parklet will deliver:
· Nature play items to provide a connection to the restored natural elements of the site.
· New gym station for active recreation
· Park furniture to provide pause points to enjoy the riparian area.
· Improved pedestrian connection to the existing shared regional pathway along the Duck River.
· Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) treatment of water entering the catchment from Mimosa Street. This street has no storm water drainage system.
Mimosa Street, Granville is approximately 200m long and ends at the Duck River Reserve.
The map below shows the location of Mimosa Street Road Reserve:
A street view is shown below:
The Mimosa Street Road Reserve extends approximately 12m beyond the built road which ends at the property boundaries of No. 3 and No. 4. Mimosa Street. This area of extended corridor is already vegetated.
It is proposed to create a parklet in the Duck River Reserve which includes the already grassed road corridor. This will create an active transport link to the existing active transport facility within the Duck River Reserve. The parklet design does not impact on existing on-street parking arrangements along Mimosa Street and does not impact on vehicular access as this section of road corridor is already grassed. As the proposed closure is beyond the residential properties, the access to the residential properties are maintained. This closure does not require a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) approval by Transport for NSW, as the closure will not have any impact on vehicular travel or access to the properties.
The road closure approval will formalise the creation of the parklet in this section.
COnsultation
The proposed Mimosa Street Parklet was publicly exhibited from Monday 21 August 2023 – Monday 18 September 2023, receiving positive feedback to the proposal.

Agenda Part Part 2
Note: Recommendation to Council
Summary
Council proposes to close a short length of Seventh Street, Granville and convert it into a reserve linking Duck River Reserve as part of the Duck River Parklands Strategic Masterplan adopted by Council in December 2022.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that Council approve the partial road closure of Seventh Street, Granville, in accordance with the attached plan.
Report
Council is currently working on the implementation of the Duck River Parklands Strategic Masterplan adopted by Council at its meeting of 21 December 2022.
The Masterplan identifies a Parklet on Seventh Street (dead end) Granville as a high priority to improve active transport links, enhance community participation and connection to Duck River, and to deliver multiple ecosystem services simultaneously to improve the health outcomes for the river. In 2023-2024, Council received a Metro Greenspace Grant from the NSW Government to construct the Seventh Street Parklet.
The Parklet will deliver:
· Park furniture to provide pause points to enjoy the unique landscape setting.
· A new seating area to enjoy views along the length of the River towards the Grey Headed Flying Fox Colony.
· Improved and safer regional transport connection for pedestrians and cyclist along the Duck River.
· Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) features to capture storm water from Seventh Street, thereby improving the quality of water entering the Duck River.
Seventh Street, Granville is a ‘dead end’ road, approximately 245m long and ends at the Duck River Reserve.
The map below shows the location of Seventh Street, Granville:
A streetview is shown below:
It is proposed to close Seventh Street at the Duck River pathway to continue the active transport link and convert the section of the street into a parklet leading up to a boardwalk into the Duck River Reserve. It is noted that there are no houses accessing from this section of road. As the proposed closure is beyond the residential properties, the access to the residential properties are maintained. This closure does not require a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) approval by Transport for NSW, as the closure will not have any impact on vehicular travel or access to the properties.
The road closure approval will formalise the creation of the parklet in this section.
COnsultation
The proposed Seventh Street Parklet was publicly exhibited from Monday 21 August 2023 – Monday 18 September 2023, receiving positive feedback to the proposal.

ROSEBERRY STREET AND MARY STREET, MERRYLANDS – PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT
Directorate: Environment and Planning
Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building
Electorate: Granville
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Agenda Part Part 2
Note: Recommendation to Council
Summary
Council has received a request from a local resident for the installation of a roundabout at the intersection of Roseberry Street and Mary Street, Merrylands due to safety concerns.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommended that:
1. The installation of speed cushions on Mary Street approaches at its intersection with Roseberry Street, Merrylands be supported.
2. Council undertake consultation with adjacent residents.
Report
Mary Street is a local road that runs in a north-south direction with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 10.4m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.
Roseberry Street is a local road that runs in an east-west direction with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 12.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted.
Roseberry Street and Mary Street form a four-way intersection, with priority given to Roseberry Street. Currently, there are ‘Stop’ signs and ‘BL2’ line markings on the approaches at this intersection provided on Mary Street.
Locality Plan
Council has received concerns from a local resident regarding road safety at the intersection of Roseberry Street and Mary Street.
The latest Centre for Road Safety crash data indicates that there was one reported crash at the intersection of Roseberry Street and Mary Street in the five years, ending September 2023. The accident details are listed in the table below.

The peak hour traffic volume in Mary Street is approximately six times less in comparison to Roseberry Street. It indicates that Mary Street has a lower priority, and this is reflected by the existing ‘Stop’ controls from Mary Street.
Considering the uneven traffic flow from the two streets, it suggests that there may be delays at the intersection if a roundabout is implemented. According to Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 6 – Intersections, Interchanges and Crossings, Table 2.10: Key traffic management considerations in the selection of roundabouts.
“Dominant flows on one approach may lead to excessive delay on the subsequent approach…”
Based on the above and the lack of reported accidents, a roundabout at the intersection of Roseberry Street and Mary Street is not warranted and should not be supported.
However, the approach speed on Mary Street towards the STOP control at Roseberry Street is high considering the traffic count was taken near the intersection. It is proposed to install speed cushions on Mary Street on the approaches to the intersection to enhance safety at the intersection.
A plan is attached showing the details of the speed cushions.
COnsultation
Consultation will be undertaken if Traffic Committee recommends the proposed speed cushions.

2. Council design the proposed pedestrian crossing at the existing pedestrian refuge location and undertake consultation with adjacent and affected properties and report back to the Traffic Committee.
Report
Council has received requests from a resident for the provision of a pedestrian crossing on Tilba St, Berala near Jack and Jill Reserve due to safety concerns. This matter was discussed in Council meeting on 13 November 2024 as a notice of motion (C11/24-22).
Some residents were not satisfied with the walking experience across Tilba Street, and prefer to cross Tilba Street at the existing pedestrian refuge to access Jack and Jill Reserve.
Tilba Street is a local road that runs in an east–west direction between Graham Street and Woodburn Road with a sign-posted speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 12.7m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.
Jack and Jill Reserve is located on the north side of Tilba Street between No. 25 and No. 37 with playground facilities. The map below shows the location of this reserve.
Locality Plan
Following the request, Council officers have investigated pedestrian and vehicle numbers in this section of Tilba Street.
Council has undertaken a pedestrian and vehicle count on a Thursday in early December 2024 in Tilba Street at the existing pedestrian refuge.

(*) The students observed are of high school age.
It is evident that pedestrian numbers including students were significantly high in the evenings between 3 and 6 PM.
Pedestrian Crossing Warrants
Council has developed its own guidelines for the provision of pedestrian crossings on local roads especially at high demand locations including schools, community facilities, parks, hospitals, medical facilities, town centres, neighbourhood shops and public transport facilities.
A pedestrian (zebra) crossing is deemed to meet the numerical warrant for a pedestrian (zebra) crossing if the crossing point meets the following criteria:
· In each of two separate one-hour periods in a typical day, the pedestrian flow per hour crossing the road is or is expected to be equal to or greater than 20, and vehicle volumes be equal to or greater than 200. Where each unaccompanied child, elderly person or mobility impaired pedestrian is counted as two pedestrians.
In addition to the above, all requirements set down in Australian Standards are to be met.
Based on the data collated, the warrant for pedestrians crossing at this location was lower than the warrant and the number of vehicles was lower than the warrant. However, the guideline allows for a deviation in the warrant for pedestrian crossings for circumstances where there is a strategic link. The current Tilba Road location provides a link from Berala Station via Crawford Street, crossing Tilba Street into Jack and Jill Reserve and along Cambridge Street through to Mt Auburn Road.
It is proposed to convert the existing pedestrian refuge to a marked pedestrian crossing, with consultation with adjacent and affected residents on the proposal.
COnsultation
Subject to endorsement, Council will prepare a design for the proposed pedestrian crossing and undertake consultation with adjacent and affected residents.

Agenda Part Part 2
Note: Recommendation to Council
Summary
Council has received requests from residents for the provision of a pedestrian crossing on Church Street, Lidcombe, near the Swete Street intersection.
In addition, Council also propose to raise the intersection of Church Street and Swete Street and provide a pedestrian crossing on Swete Street. This is currently adopted as part of the Pippita Rail Trail Project; and will be constructed at the same time as the Church St Crossing to avoid future reconstruction or modification.
This report outlines the outcome of the review.
The Traffic Committee recommends that:
1. The proposed marked pedestrian crossings on Church Street and Swete Street, Lidcombe, including the raised intersection of Church Street and Swete Street and signage in accordance with the attached plan be approved in-principle.
2. Council undertake consultation with the affected residents regarding the proposal and report back to the Traffic Committee if objections are received.
Report
Council has received requests from residents for the provision of a pedestrian crossing on Church Street, Lidcombe, near Swete Street intersection. In addition, Council also proposes to raise the intersection of Church Street and Swete Street and provide a pedestrian crossing on Swete Street as part of the future shared pathway included in the Pippita Rail Trail Masterplan.
Church Street is part of a regional road that runs in an east–west direction connecting State roads, Parramatta Road, and Olympic Drive. The section of interest is the intersection of Church Street and Swete Street and approaches.
Church Street east of the Swete Street roundabout has a road width of 12.4 metres and a speed limit of 60 km/h. The section west of the roundabout is within the Lidcombe Town Centre and has a speed limit of 50km/hr. As such, pedestrian crossings are permitted west of the roundabout. Parking is permitted on both sides of the street unless sign-posted otherwise.

Locality Plan
Pedestrian Crossing on Church Street, Lidcombe
Council officers have observed pedestrian movements in this area of Church Street. Based on the observations, it was noted that there are significant number of pedestrians crossing Church Street on the western side of the roundabout. Most pedestrians were observed travelling to and from the apartment towers on the southern side of Church Street east of the Swete Street roundabout.

Similar observations during the morning peak also showed large number of pedestrians crossing the street and high vehicle numbers.
Council has developed its own guidelines for the provision of pedestrian crossings on local roads especially at high demand locations including schools, community facilities, parks, hospitals, medical facilities, town centres, neighbourhood shops and public transport facilities.
A pedestrian (zebra) crossing is deemed to meet the numerical warrant for a pedestrian (zebra) crossing if the crossing point meets the following criteria:
· In each of two separate one-hour periods in a typical day, the pedestrian flow per hour crossing the road is or is expected to be equal to or greater than 20, and vehicle volumes be equal to or greater than 200. Where each unaccompanied child, elderly person or mobility impaired pedestrian is counted as two pedestrians.
In addition to the above, all requirements set down in Australian Standards are to be met.
The location on Church Street west of Swete Street is within the Lidcombe Town Centre and has a speed limit of 50km/hr. The observed numbers as given in the report satisfies all the requirements for a pedestrian crossing. Other design requirements have been met including advanced warning line marking, signage, and no parking restrictions. No parking changes are required, as the existing area is a no stopping zone.
It is proposed that the pedestrian crossing be located at Church Street, west of Swete Street. It is also proposed to raise the intersection of Church Street and Swete Street to enhance safety and amenity of all road users in this location.
Pedestrian Crossing on Swete Street, Lidcombe
The proposed Pippita Rail Trail project connects Lidcombe station with Sydney Olympic Park, comprising on-road and off-road sections by using part of the road network and the former Pippita Rail Line corridor. The shared pathway in this section runs along the northern side of Church Street and crosses Swete Street just north of the roundabout. The project is also deemed as a strategic cycleway and active transport corridor and is a case study within the Central River City- Greater Sydney Strategic Cycleway Corridors.
The concept plan for the Pippita Rail Trail identifies a priority crossing in Swete Street just north of the roundabout where the pedestrians and cyclists on the on-road section cross. Council is currently undertaking a detailed design for the on-road section, which is funded under the NSW Government’s Get NSW Active program.
The crossing is proposed to be constructed as per the Pippita Rail Trail design, and only cycleway line marking will be required as part of the Pippita Rail Trail project. It is also proposed to raise the intersection of Church Street and Swete Street to enhance safety, amenity and deliver the section of the Pippita Rail Trail project in full.
COnsultation
Subject to endorsement, Council will undertake consultation with affected residents.
