This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

1.   The installation of ‘Give Way’ control signs and associated line marking at the intersections of Factory Street, Granville with side streets in accordance with the attached plans be approved.

2.   The affected / concerned residents be notified of the outcome.

 

 

Factory Street, Granville is functioning as a Collector Road that runs in a north – south direction between Clyde Station and Seventh Street with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 12.5 m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted otherwise.

Locality Plan

 

Council has received requests from residents and motorists regarding the provision of ‘Give-Way’ or ‘Stop’ control at the intersections of Factory Street and side streets.

 

Council officers have investigated the request and have noted that the traffic and its composition in Factory Street raises safety concerns. It is also noted that there is significant number of trucks using Factory Street to access the industries on the eastern side.

Australian Standard Requirements

 

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 unsignalized 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, ‘Stop’ signs are not warranted at these intersections, as the sight distance for vehicles turning from the side streets onto Factory Street is not limited. However, in accordance with warrant (c) of AS1742.2 – Part 2, the provision of ‘Give Way’ signage and associated line marking can be considered at this intersection.

 

To improve the safety of the intersection, it is proposed that a ‘Give Way’ signs with associated line marking be installed in side streets between William Street and Sixth Street at their intersections of Factory Street.

Consultation has not been undertaken as the signage or centre line marking at these intersections do not directly impact on properties at these locations.

CALLIOPE STREET AND BYRON ROAD, GUILDFORD – PROPOSED INTERSECTION TREATMENT

Council has received safety concerns from residents at the intersections of Calliope Street and Byron Road, Guildford.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘Give Way’ and ‘No Stopping’ signs with associated line marking at the intersection of Calliope Street and Byron Road, Guildford in accordance with attached plan be approved.

 

2.   The affected / concerned residents be notified of the outcome.

 

 

Calliope Street is a local road that runs in an east-west direction between Military Road and Byron Road with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 9m near Byron Road and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.

 

Byron Road is a local road generally running north–south, connecting Guildford Road and Military Road, with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. North of the Calliope Street intersection, the road is approximately 12.5 metres wide and allows parking on both sides. However, south of the intersection, the road narrows significantly as it transitions into a bridge over the Sydney Water pipeline corridor. ‘No Stopping’ signs are installed on the west side of the bridge, and due to the limited road width, parking is impractical on either side of the bridge.

Calliope Street intersects with Byron Road and forms a Y-shaped junction, where priority is given to Byron Road traffic. Currently, there is no Give Way signage or line marking in place at this location.

 

The map below shows the intersection.

 

   

Locality Plan

 

The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data indicated that there were no reported accidents related to vehicles that failed to give way at this intersection in the last 5 years.

 

Residents have expressed concerns regarding the give way control at this intersection, alleging that vehicles on Calliope Street frequently fail to give way to traffic on Byron Road.

 

Based on 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 intersection. Therefore, it is recommended that ‘Give Way’ controls be provided at this location to prevent vehicles from failure to give way to traffic on Byron Road.

 

Site inspections also confirmed that some vehicles were parked too close to the intersection, posing potential safety risks. To address this issue, it is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ restrictions and apply ‘BL2’ line marking at the location.

 

The proposed signage and line marking will reinforce Road Rules, ensuring vehicles do not park too close to the intersection. ‘No Stopping’ signs are proposed on both sides of Calliope Street at 13 metres, allowing vehicles to safely pass parked cars without encroaching on the proposed ‘BL2’ line marking.

 

The proposal was notified to the impacted and adjacent residents for a period of 14 days starting from 16 April 2025 to 30 April 2025.

No objections were received.

Council has received a request from a shop owner in Fairfield Road, Guildford West to convert sections of the existing 2P parking restrictions on the western side of Fairfield Road, Guildford West outside No.121 and No. 123-131 into 1P to facilitate parking turnover at this location.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘1P 8:30 am to 6pm Mon- Sat’ on the western side of Fairfield Road, Guildford West outside No.121 and part of No. 123-131, as provided in the attached plan, be approved.

 

2.   Council notifies the business owners of the outcome.

 

 

Council has received a request from a shop owner on Fairfield Road, Guildford West, seeking consideration to amend the existing timed parking restrictions in front of Nos. 121–123. This location functions as a local centre, featuring a variety of shops facing Fairfield Road with 90-degree angle parking. At present, the parking spaces in front of these properties are subject to a 2P timed restriction.

 

It is alleged that some vehicles parked at this location for extended periods of time, making it difficult for the customers to find available parking.

 

To improve parking turnover at this location, it is proposed to replace two sections of the existing 2P restrictions with 1P restrictions operating from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Saturday, as shown in the attached plan.

 

The proposal was initially consulted with the business owners for a period of 14 days from 17 April 2025 to 30 April 2025 proposing 1P in front of No. 121.

 

Following verbal feedback from the business owners, Council officers conducted follow-up in-person consultations and proposed a 1P parking restriction in front of Nos. 121 and 123-131. One property owner expressed support for the 1P proposal as a suitable response to their concerns. The remaining spaces will retain the existing 2P restrictions to accommodate the needs of other businesses.

Council has received a request from the Mosque located at No.43-47 Harrow Road, Auburn for the installation of ‘No Parking, Wedding or Funeral Vehicles Excepted’ signs at the frontage of the Mosque.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The proposed ‘No Parking, Wedding or Funeral Vehicles Excepted’ signs outside No.43-47 Harrow Road, Auburn in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

2.   Council notify the property owner of the outcome.

 

Council has received a request from the Mosque located at No.43-47 Harrow Road, Auburn for the installation of ‘No Parking, Wedding or Funeral Vehicles Excepted’ signs at the frontage of the Mosque.

 

Council officers have investigated the matter and observed that the existing unrestricted parking spaces outside the Mosque are frequently occupied due to high parking demand in the area. As a result, it is difficult for wedding or funeral service vehicles to find a parking space outside the Mosque.

 

To improve parking availability for wedding and funeral service vehicles, it is proposed to convert part of the existing unrestricted parking space on Harrow Road outside the Mosque to a ‘No Parking – Wedding or Funeral Vehicles Excepted’ zone in accordance with the attached plan.

The proposal was notified to impacted and adjacent residents and business owners for a period of 14 days starting from 16 April 2025 to 30 April 2025. Two submissions were received. Following the consultation period, Council officers further engaged with stakeholders on the proposal.

Locality Plan

 

Granville South Public School has contacted Council to raise safety concerns following recent near-miss incidents experienced by school staff when exiting the driveway onto Oxford Street.

 

The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data indicates that no accidents related to vehicles failing to give way at the school car park on Oxford Street have been reported in the past five years.

To address the concerns raised by the school, it is proposed to extend the existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the northern side of Oxford Street from the current endpoint to the school driveway to prevent vehicles from stopping near the driveway and to ensure adequate sight distance is maintained.

Consultation was not required as this issue was raised by Granville South Public School, and the proposed change only affect the school.

Council has received safety concerns from the businesses owner at 147 and 149 Magowar Road, Girraween.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs between No. 147 and No. 149 Magowar Road, Girraween in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

2.   The affected / concerned businesses be notified of the outcome.

 

 

Magowar Road is a local road that runs in an east-west direction between Toongabbie Road and Pendle Way 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 otherwise signposted.

 

Magowar Road west of Girraween Road is primarily an industrial area. Two businesses located at 147 and 149 Magowar Road are situated on the northern side of the road. Their driveways are positioned near the shared boundary with a 4.5 metre gap between them.

The map below shows the location.

Locality Plan

 

Street View

 

The business owners have reported that the 4.5-metre gap between the driveways of No. 147 and No. 149 is too narrow to accommodate a parked car. As a result, vehicles often encroach upon both driveways and obstructing access for large trucks entering both properties.

 

Driveway line markings have been painted at this location by Council previously to deter private vehicles from parking between the two driveways; however, these markings are often ignored by drivers.

 

Given the need for clear and safe truck access to the driveways, it is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ restrictions between No.147 and No.149 Magowar Road, Girraween as per the plan attached.

The proposal was notified to the impacted and adjacent residents for a period of 14 days starting from 6 May 2025 to 23 May 2025. 

One response was received, with some clarifications on the proposal. Council officers have contacted the submitter and advised that access to the driveway would not be impacted by the proposal.

Council has received a request from the Woolworths located at 11–13 Percy Street, Auburn for the installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs at their driveway.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends:

 

1.   The proposed ‘No Stopping’ signs outside No. 11-13 Percy Street, Auburn in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

2.   Council notify the affected businesses of the outcome.

 

Council has received a request from Woolworths located at 11–13 Percy Street, Auburn for the installation of ‘No Stopping’ signage at their driveway due to safety concerns. The request cites limited sight distance for drivers exiting the site and the significant challenges faced by heavy vehicles when attempting to enter the property safely.

Council officers held a site meeting with Woolworths representative. During the meeting, it was observed that the existing unrestricted parking spaces outside the property are frequently occupied due to high parking demand in the area. As a result, vehicles exiting the site face restricted visibility due to parked vehicles and heavy vehicles are often unable to enter the site safely.

To improve safety and accessibility for vehicles at this location, it is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ signage outside 11–13 Percy Street Auburn in accordance with the attached plan.

The proposal is proposed and supported by Woolworths staff. Council’s Place and Economy Team has advised that no objections were received from the strata management of the neighbouring property.

Council has received safety concerns from the residents in Magowar Road near Macklin Street and Wyena Road, Pendle Hill.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs, ‘BL2’ line markings in Magowar Road and at the intersection of Macklin Street and Wyena Road, Pendle Hill in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

2.   The affected / concerned residents be notified of the outcome.

 

 

Magowar Road is a local road that runs in an east-west direction between Toongabbie Road and Pendle Way 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 otherwise signposted.

 

Macklin Street is a local road running in a north–south direction that connects with Magowar Road. It has a speed limit of 50 km/h and a width of approximately 7 metres. Parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.

 

Wyena Road is a local road running in a north–south direction that also connects with Magowar Road. It is located approximately 30 metres from Macklin Street and has the same speed limit as Macklin Street. Wyena Road is approximately 10.5 metre wide marked with ‘BL2’ barrier line marking.

 

Magowar Road form two T- intersections with Wynena Road and Macklin Street, with priority given to traffic on Magowar Road.

Locality Plan

 

The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data indicated that there were no reported accidents at both intersections in the last 5 years.

 

A site inspection indicated that vehicles are parking within 10 metres from both intersections. The installation of 10m to 13m ‘No Stopping’ signs at these intersections would strengthen the Road Rules requirements and stop vehicles from parking too close to the intersection.

 

It is also proposed to paint ‘BL2’ line markings on Magowar Road between, and at, the two intersections with Macklin Street and Wyena Road to reinforce the travel lane widths in each direction.

 

 

The proposed 13-metre ‘No Stopping’ restriction in Macklin Street is to allow vehicles to safely pass parked cars without encroaching on the proposed ‘BL2’ line marking.

 

The proposal was notified to the impacted and adjacent residents for a period of 14 days starting from 6 May 2025 to 23 May 2025.

One response was received, with some clarifications on the proposal. Council officers have contacted the submitter and advised that access to the driveway would not be impacted by the proposal.

Council has received safety concerns from the residents in Gozo Road near Elvina Street, Greystanes.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs, ‘BL2’ line markings, and the modification of ‘EL1’ line markings at the intersection of Elvina Street and Gozo Road, Greystanes, in accordance with the attached plan, be approved in principle.

 

2.   Council consults with affected residents and report back to the Traffic Committee if objections are received.

 

3.   The concerned and affected residents be notified of the outcome.

 

 

Elvina Street is a local road that runs in an east-west direction between Gozo Road and Roberta Street 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 unless otherwise signposted.

 

On the southern side of Elvina Street, there is a local centre comprising three retail shops, with unrestricted 90-degree angle parking spaces provided in front of the shops. 

 

Gozo Road is a local road run in a north-south direction between Old Prospect Road and Whalans Road. It has a speed limit of 50 km/h and width of approximately 10m. Parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted. Currently, ‘BL2’ and ‘EL1’ line markings exist on Gozo Road.

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.

 

A site inspection revealed that vehicles are parking within 10 metres of the intersection. To address this issue, it is proposed to install 10 to 13-metre ‘No Stopping’ signs at the intersection. This measure would reinforce Road Rules requirements and prevent vehicles from parking too close to the intersection.

 

Additionally, it is recommended to paint BL2 line markings on Elvina Street to clearly define travel lanes in each direction and discourage vehicles from travelling on the wrong side of the street. A section of the existing edge line marking on the eastern side of Gozo Road will also be removed and extended closer to the intersection to align with the proposed ‘No Stopping’ sign.

 

The proposed 13-metre ‘No Stopping’ restriction on the northern side of Elvina Street is intended to allow vehicles to safely pass a parked car without encroaching on the proposed BL2 line marking.

Consultation has not yet been undertaken. Council will consult with residents if endorsed by the Traffic Committee.

BENNETT STREET, WENTWORTHVILLE – PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING PARKING RESTRICTIONS

Council has received safety concerns from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary School in relation to the parking issues in Bennett Street, Wentworthville.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘No Parking, 8:30 am to 9:30 am Mon- Fri, 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm, school days and amendment to existing P 15 minutes as per the attached plan be approved.

 

2.   Council notifies Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary School of the outcome.

 

Council has received safety concerns from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary School on Bennett Street, Wentworthville, seeking suitable measure to alleviate parking issues on Bennett Street at the school frontage.

 

Bennett Street is a local road that runs in an east – west direction between Garfield Street and Station Street. It has a sign posted speed limit of 50 km/h and an approximate width of 12.9 metres. Parking on the northern side of the road is generally unrestricted unless otherwise signposted. On the southern side, in front of the school, a combination of part-time 'No Parking' restrictions in the afternoon, part-time 'P15 minute parking' zones, and designated disabled parking spaces have been installed.

Locality Plan

 

It is alleged that, during the afternoon school peak hours, some vehicles are parking for extended periods in unrestricted areas along the school frontage. This limits available space for other vehicles to safely pull into the kerbside for student pick-up and drop-off. As a result, some drivers have been observed engaging in unsafe behaviours, such as double-parking.

To improve safety for school students at this location, it is proposed to amend the existing part-time ‘No Parking’ restrictions with extended duration that operates from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM, 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM, school days, as shown in the attached plan. While the disabled parking is proposed to be retained, the existing ‘P 15 minute’ restriction will be amended to align with the proposed duration for ‘No Parking’.

The proposal was initially consulted with the school and affected property owners for a period of 21 days from 9 April 2025 to 30 April 2025.

One submission was received proposing additional parking on the eastern side of Garfield Street, between the Bennett Street intersection and the existing children’s crossing. Council officers will assess the feasibility of this proposal and report back to the Traffic Committee if required.

Council has received a request from a resident regarding road safety on the eastern side of Iris Street, Guildford, adjacent to Tom Uren Park.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ signage on the eastern side of Iris Street, Guildford, outside Tom Uren Park, in accordance with the attached plan, be approved in principle.

 

2.   Council consult affected residents and report back to the Traffic Committee if objections are received.

 

 

Iris Street is a local road that runs mainly in a north-south direction with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It is approximately 430 metres long and 7 metres wide. Parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.

 

The section of interest is located on the eastern side of Iris Street, adjacent to Tom Uren Park and is approximately 200 metres in length.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   The map below shows the area:

 

Locality Plan

  

The resident has raised concerns about safety issues for vehicles exiting the park car park, due to cars parked near the entry/exit driveway. These parked vehicles obstruct visibility, making it difficult for drivers to see oncoming traffic when leaving the carpark.

 

To improve safety and reinforce NSW Road Rules, the following parking restrictions are proposed on the eastern side of Iris Street:

 

·    ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking’ restrictions at the intersection with Karani Avenue to improve sight distance and support existing road rules.

·    A 12-metre ‘No Parking’ zone further south, opposite house numbers 40 and 42, to allow vehicles to safely pass each other and reduce the risk of head-on collisions.

·    ‘No Parking’ restrictions near the entrance to the Council car park to improve visibility for vehicles exiting the car park.

Although the proposed changes do not directly impact the local residents, consultation will be undertaken with the residents on the opposite side of this section of Iris Street.

Subject to endorsement, consultation will be undertaken with the residents on the opposite side of this section of Iris Street on the proposal.

PERCY STREET, AUBURN – PROPOSED PARKING RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION

Directorate:                                       Environment and Planning

Council has received concept plan for the proposed installation of pedestrian crossing associated with an approved development application at The International Maarif Schools of Australia (IMSA) Gallipoli Campus Auburn located on Percy Street, Auburn.

This report outlines the outcome of a review into this matter.

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

1.      The request for a pedestrian crossing on Percy Street, Auburn outside the International Maarif Schools of Australia (IMSA) Gallipoli Campus, Auburn and associated signage be approved in principle.

 

2.      The costs associated with the installation of the signage shall be borne by the applicant at no cost to Council.

 

3.      The applicant provides final design plans for Council approval prior to construction.

 

4.      The applicant be notified of Council’s resolution.

 

 

The International Maarif Schools of Australia (IMSA) Gallipoli Campus, Auburn was approved in March 2020 involving the staged construction of a new K-12 school, with capacity for 728 primary and secondary students and 58 full-time equivalent staff. The school currently has from Kindergarten to Year 5.

 

The approved plans for the project include a bus zone and pick-up and drop-off zone along the Percy Street frontage of the site, along with a new pedestrian crossing across Percy Street near the intersection with Gelibolu Parade.

 

Cumberland Traffic Committee at its meeting held on 2 March 2022 considered a report on the request from the Project Manager for the provision of the pedestrian crossing on Percy Road outside the school and recommended that:

 

1.      The request for a pedestrian crossing on Percy Street, Auburn outside the school not be approved.

The proposed ‘No Parking; 8:00AM-9:30AM; 2:30PM-4:00PM; School Days’ and ‘Bus Zone; 8:00AM-9:30AM; 2:30PM-4:00PM; School Days’ signs in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

2.      The costs associated with the installation of the signage shall be borne by the applicant at no cost to Council.

3.      The applicant be notified of Council’s resolution.

 

The signs were installed subsequently.

 

According to the Annual Report of International Maarif Schools of Australia in 2023, the Gallipoli Campus had classes from Kindergarten to Year 9 with a total of 433 students enrolled. It is anticipated that the construction works will be completed by 2025 and the full complement of expected student numbers will be reached in 2026.

Based on the status of the school development, Council has received plan for the proposed pedestrian crossing.

 

The map below shows the location of Percy Street, Auburn.

 

 

 

Transport for NSW has provided guideline to Local Governments to utilise reduced warrants on local roads, subject to satisfying safety requirements outlined in the Australian Standards and Austroads Guidelines.

 

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.

 

Since the school has reached 60% of its potential number of students (with 433 students enrolled up to Year 9 in 2023) prior to final completion, Council officer observations have indicated that the pedestrian numbers are high in the morning and evening school hours; however, the vehicle numbers were not meeting the minimum threshold. While the numerical threshold for vehicles has not been met, the location of the pedestrian crossing supports safe access for students, parents and community members along a strategic link between Auburn Town Centre and Wyatt Park.

 

A concept plan showing the proposed crossing is attached.

 

There were further concerns raised by school administration requesting Council officers to review parking arrangement including the bus zones in Percy Street and Gelibolu Parade around the school. This matter is being investigated and a further report will be provided to the Traffic Committee, if required.

The location of the pedestrian crossing is between the school site at Percy Street and Wyatt Park, which is owned by Council. As the matter has been raised by the school and is related to their development application on the site, no further consultation is proposed.

ALBERT STREET AND FRANK STREET, GUILDFORD – ROAD SAFETY CONCERNS

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

 

 

Council has received a request from a local resident regarding road safety concerns at the intersection of Albert Street and Frank Street, Guildford.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘Give Way’ signage and associated linemarking on Frank Street at Albert Street, Guildford West, be approved according to the attached plan.

 

2.   The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signage and ‘BL2’ linemarking on Frank Street at Albert Street, Guildford West, be approved according to the attached plan.

 

3.   The concerned and affected residents be consulted and report back to Traffic Committee if objections are received.

 

 

Council has received a request from a local resident for the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Albert Street and Frank Street, Guildford due to safety concerns.

 

Albert Street is a collector road connecting Harris Street and Fairfield Road, with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 10.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.

 

Frank Street is a local road running in a north–south direction, also with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 10.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.

 

At the intersection of Albert Street and Frank Street, priority is currently given to Albert Street. However, there are no existing 'Give Way' signs or linemarking at this location.

 

Albert Street also has a roundabout at its intersections with Palmer Street and Bowden Street, both situated within 200 metres of the Frank Street intersection.

 

Locality Plan

 

Council has received concerns from a local resident regarding road safety at the intersection of Albert Street and Frank Street.

 

The latest crash data indicates that there were no recorded crashes at this intersection in the five years ending December 2024.

 

Traffic counts were undertaken in Frank Street and Albert Street, Guildford in April 2025. The traffic count locations are marked on the map above, with results below.

 

 

The daily and peak hour traffic volumes in Albert Street are over 10 times greater in comparison to Frank Street. It is also noted that the traffic volumes show the importance of Albert Street being a collector road in the hierarchy of the network.

 

Considering the uneven traffic flow from the two streets, it indicates that there may be undue delays at the intersection especially for Frank Street traffic 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, a roundabout at the intersection of Frank Street and Albert Street is not warranted and should not be supported.

 

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 intersection. Therefore, it is recommended that ‘Give Way’ controls be provided at this location to prevent vehicles from failure to give way to traffic on Albert Street.

 

Site inspections also confirmed that some vehicles were parked too close to the intersection, posing potential safety risks. To address this issue, it is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ restrictions and apply ‘BL2’ line marking at the location.

Subject to endorsement, consultation will be undertaken with affected residents on the proposal.

Council has received a request from a local resident regarding road safety concerns at the intersection of Randle Street and Bennalong Street, Granville due to safety concerns.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The proposed ‘BL2’ centre lines on the Bennelong Street approaches to its intersection with Randle Street, in accordance with the attached plan, be approved.

 

2.   The concerned resident be notified of the outcome.

 

 

Council has received a request from a local resident regarding road safety concerns at the intersection of Randle Street and Bennalong Street, Granville.

 

Randle Street is a local road running in an east – west direction with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 11m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.

 

Bennalong Street is a local road running in a north–south direction, also with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 9m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.

 

Randle Street and Bennalong Street form a four-way intersection with priority given to Randle Street. The intersection is controlled by 'Stop' signs and associated linemarking.

 

 

 

Locality Plan

 

Council has received concerns from a local resident regarding road safety at the intersection of Randle Street and Bennalong Street, with a suggestion that a roundabout be constructed at this location.

 

The latest crash data indicates that there were two recorded vehicle accidents at this intersection in the five years. The accident details are listed in the table below.

 

Date	Location	Description
04/08/2022	Bennalong St at Randle Street	Other manoeuvring
25/04/2023	Bennalong St at Randle Street	Cross Traffic

 

Traffic counts were undertaken in Bennalong Street and Randle Street, Granville in April 2025. The traffic count locations are marked on the map above.

 

Traffic Count Data in Bennalong Street and Randle Street: 

 

 

The daily and peak hour traffic volumes in Randle Street are significantly greater in comparison to Bennalong Street.

 

Considering the uneven traffic flow from the two streets, it indicates that there may be undue delays at the intersection, especially for Bennalong Street traffic, 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…”

 

In addition, Bennalong Street is approximately 9.5 metres wide, and has an insufficient area to accommodate a roundabout at the intersection.

 

It is proposed to paint ‘BL2’ centre lines on the Bennelong Street approaches to the intersection. Council officers will also review the existing signage and linemarking at the intersection and install warning signs if necessary.

Consultation is not required as no properties are directly affected by the proposal.

THE ESPLANADE, ELIZABETH STREET AND AMHERST STREET, GUILDFORD - ROAD SAFETY CONCERNS

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

 

 

Council has received concerns from a local resident regarding intersection safety at the intersection of The Esplanade, Amherst Street and Elizabeth Street, Guildford.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs and centre line marking at the intersection of The Esplanade, Amherst Street and Elizabeth Street, and the proposed speed cushions on the Elizabeth Street approach to its intersection with The Esplanade, Guildford, in accordance with the attached plan, be approved in principle.

 

2.   Council undertake consultation with affected residents and report back to the Traffic Committee if objections are received.

 

3.   Concerned and affected residents be notified of the outcome.

 

 

 

The Esplanade is a local road that runs in a north-south direction between Guildford Road and Hawksview Street with a default speed limit of 50km/h. The street is approximately 750m long and has a width of approximately 12.7m. Parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted otherwise.

 

Amherst Street is a local road that runs in a westerly direction from The Esplanade and has a speed limit of 50 km/hr. It has a width of approximately 8.8 m. Council has previously installed speed humps in Amherst Street as traffic calming treatment.

 

Elizabeth Street runs in an easterly direction from The Esplanade and has a width of approximately 11.8 m.

 

Both Amherst Street and Elizabeth Street form T-intersections with The Esplanade separated by approximately 20m.

 

There is a bus route through Elizabeth Street, The Esplanade and Amherst Street and in the reverse direction.

 

Traffic counts were undertaken in Elizabeth Street and Amherst Street late in 2024.

 

The traffic count location is shown in red on the map below.

 

 

The traffic count data is shown below:

 

	Elizabeth Street	Amherst Street
Average Daily Traffic (Both directions) – Veh/hr	1,833	1,319
Eastbound	1070	519
Westbound	763	800
85th percentile speed (Both directions) – Km/hr	43.4	27.0
Eastbound	42.3	24.3 (towards intersection)
Westbound	44.6 (towards intersection)	28.3

 

 

 

 

The latest crash data indicated that there was one reported crash at the intersection of Elizabeth Street and The Esplanade in the 5 years ending June 2024.

 

Date	Location	Description
19/05/2021	Elizabeth Street & The Esplanade	Right-through

 

There were no reported crashes at the intersection of Amherst Street and The Esplanade.

 

The resident has requested to consider a roundabout at the staggered intersection. Council has investigated the request and found that due to the bus route, narrow road width of Amherst Street and the distance separating both T-intersections, it is not feasible for the provision of a roundabout in accordance with Austroads guidelines.

It is noted from the traffic count data, that the vehicle speeds on Elizabeth Street towards The Esplanade is high (85^th percentile speed 44.6 km/hr), which is unsafe if the need arises for vehicles to give way at the intersection. It is proposed to install speed cushions on the Elizabeth Street approach, as well as ‘No Stopping’ signage at the intersection with The Esplanade to improve road safety and reinforce the Road Rules.

The approach speeds on Amherst Street are acceptable (85th %tile speed 24.3 km/hr), noting that vehicles travelling along Amherst Street are passing through speed humps in the street. However, there is an opportunity to install ‘No Stopping’ signage at the intersection with The Esplanade to improve road safety and reinforce the Road Rules.

 

Subject to endorsement, consultation will be undertaken with affected residents on the proposal.

VAUGHAN STREET, LIDCOMBE – REQUEST FOR MEDIAN ISLAND OUTSIDE MCDONALD’S DRIVEWAY

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

 

 

 

Council has received safety concerns from motorists regarding the carpark driveway of McDonald’s on the northeastern corner of Olympic Drive and Vaughan Street, Lidcombe.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

 

1.   A 600 mm wide, 25m long median island on Vaughan Street, Lidcombe, outside the McDonalds carpark driveway, be approved in principle.

 

2.   Council undertake consultation with affected stakeholders and a further report be provided to the Traffic Committee if objections are received.

 

 

Council has received safety concerns from motorists regarding the carpark driveway of McDonald’s on the northeastern corner of Olympic Drive and Vaughan Street, Lidcombe.

 

The image below shows the location:

 

 

 

Locality Plan

 

Olympic Drive is a state road managed by Transport for NSW and forms an intersection with Vaughan Street which is controlled by traffic signals.

 

The section of Vaughan Street east of Olympic Drive is a local road that runs in a westerly direction from Joseph Street and has a speed limit of 50 km/hr. Vaughan Street west of Olympic Drive is a regional road.

 

The McDonald’s carpark driveway is located approximately 35 m east from the Olympic Drive traffic signals.

 

The driveway is marked one lane entry and two lanes for exit, one for right turn and the other for left turn at Vaughan Street. It is alleged that cars travelling westbound on Vaughan Street from Joseph Street tend to travel in the wrong lane to enter the carpark driveway due to long queues in Vaughan Street extending beyond the carpark driveway. Also, cars exiting from the carpark in the right turn lane try to force into the queued traffic and sometimes blocking oncoming traffic. This behaviour causes road safety issues.

 

The latest crash data indicated that there were two reported crashes on Vaughan Street in the vicinity of McDonalds driveway in the last 5 years ending June 2024. The details of these crashes are tabulated below:

 

Date	Location	Description
16/10/2021	Vaughan Street & McDonalds	Emerging from driveway
04/10/2023	Vaughan Street 40 m east of Olympic Drive (opposite carpark driveway)	Rear right

 

Two options are available for Council to remedy this situation. One option is by contacting McDonald’s to convert the right turn lane from the carpark into left turn lane thus arranging a dual left turn lanes; however, this is in contradiction to the approved development consent. The other option is to build a physical barrier by providing a median island to avoid the traffic conflict at this location. It is proposed that a physical barrier be progressed to address the issue raised.

Subject to endorsement, consultation will be undertaken with affected stakeholders on the proposal.

Electorate:                                        Granville

Police Area Command (PAC):      Cumberland   

Agenda Part                                     Part 2

 

Note: Recommendation to Council

 

 

 

The Cumberland Traffic Committee considered a report on the request for the right turn ban for vehicles exiting Warwick Road at its meeting held on 5 June 2024.  

  

This report outlines the outcome of the follow up actions into this matter.

The Traffic Committee recommends that:

1.   Council installs “No Right Turn, 6 AM – 10AM, 3PM – 7PM, Monday to Friday” signage on Warwick Road, Merrylands at its intersection with Burnett Street as per the attached plan.

 

2.   Council installs advisory sign indicating “No Right Turn at Burnett St, 6 AM-10 AM, 3 PM-7 PM, MON-FRI” on Warwick Road at its intersection with Walpole Street as per the attached plan.

 

3.   Council notify the residents who sent submissions during the consultation of the outcome.

 

4.   Council provide information to road users and local residents of the traffic movement changes prior to commencement. 

 

 

Council received a request from a resident for banning turning movements at the intersection of Burnett Street and Warwick Road, Merrylands.

 

Burnett Street is a regional road carrying over 19,000 vehicles/day and links Burnett Street to another regional road Merrylands Road. Warwick Road is a local road that runs in a northerly direction from Merrylands Road to Burnett Street.

 

Burnett Street and Warwick Road form a T-intersection with ‘Give Way’ sign and line marking on Warwick Road.

 

The map below shows the locality of Burnett Street and Warwick Road, Merrylands.

 

 

Cumberland Traffic Committee considered a report on the request for the right turn ban    for vehicles exiting Warwick Road at its meeting held on 5 June 2024.    

 

Traffic Committee recommended that:

 

1.   Council undertakes community consultation for implementing part time or full-time right turn ban from Warwick Road into Burnett Street and prepare a Traffic Management Plan in consultation with Transport for NSW for submission and approval.

 

2.   Council prepares a signage plan and report back to the Traffic Committee following the approval of the Traffic Management Plan by Transport for NSW.

 

Council approved the above recommendations at its meeting held on 7 August 2024.

 

Following Council resolution, consultation was undertaken with the residents of Warwick Road and surrounding streets. The consultation area is marked on the map below.

 

Consultation Area

 

Council included two options for residents to consider, namely, a full-time right turn ban and a part time right turn ban. A total of 402 letters were sent to owners and tenants of properties. Council received 49 submissions, and the result is summarised below:

 

Support for full-time ban    = 6

Support for part-time ban  = 14

Objection for any ban         = 29

 

Based on the above, it is noted that there were 20 submissions supporting a part time or full-time right turn ban. Submissions varied depending on the locations of residents, with those living closest to the intersection supporting the request for a full or part time ban. These residents also indicated that several minor crashes and near misses have occurred in addition to the two formally reported crashes at the intersection over the last five years. This information was used to inform a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) focusing on improving intersection safety.

 

Following consultation, Council officers submitted a TMP to Transport for NSW for implementing a part time right turn ban (‘No Right Turn, 6 AM – 10AM, 3PM – 7PM, Monday to Friday’).

 

Council has received Transport for NSW approval of the TMP, with concurrence that implementing a ban of right turning movements will reduce accidents during peak hours and improve overall safety for road users during peak traffic periods.

 

Council proposes to install the signage for the part time right turn ban in accordance with the TMP. Prior to commencement, Council officers will advise local residents and road users of the changes to traffic movements at this location.

Consultation was undertaken for 14 days from 14 October 2024 to 28 October 2024. Details of the consultation are outlined in the report.

Note: Recommendation to Council

 

 

Council has received a request from a local resident for the installation of traffic calming devices on Bristol Street, Merrylands West due to speeding concerns.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

The Traffic Committee recommends that Council undertake consultation with the residents of Bristol Street, Merrylands West, between Cusack Street and Fowler Road, to assess support or otherwise for the provision of speed humps in the street.

 

Council has received a request from a local resident for the installation of traffic calming devices on Bristol Street, Merrylands West due to speeding concerns. Bristol Street is a local road that runs in an east – west direction between Sherwood Road and Fowler Road.

 

The speed limit in the street is 50 km/h, and during school operating hours the 40 km/h

school zone speed limit applies for a section of the road. Parking is permitted on both

sides of the road unless otherwise signposted.

 

Merrylands West High School has access in Bristol Street west of Cusack Street. The school has two raised pedestrian crossings in Bristol Street outside the school between Sherwood Road and the bend near Cusack Street. There is also a concrete median island built in the bend west of Cusack Street. The school ground is located along Bristol Street between Bettina Street and Cusack Street and is continuously fenced up to the driveway west of Cusack Street.

 

The map below shows the location of Bristol Street.

 

Council has received a request from a local resident for the installation of traffic calming devices on Bristol Street, Merrylands West due to speeding concerns. Council has previously reported traffic conditions in Bristol Street and the Traffic Committee recommended that traffic calming devices on Bristol Street, Merrylands West not be supported. The section of Bristol Street between Sherwood Road and Cusack Street has several traffic calming devices installed at the school frontage.

 

Traffic counts were undertaken on Bristol Street at 3 locations in 2024. The traffic count locations are shown in red on the map above. One location is within the School Zone, the second location at the start/end of the School Zone and the third location outside the School Zone. The three counts will assist in determining driver behaviour inside and outside the School Zone.

 

The results of the traffic counts on Bristol Street, Merrylands West are detailed in the table below:

 

	At #16 Outside School Zone	At #33 At the start of School Zone	At #44 In School Zone
Average Daily Traffic (Veh/hr)	6,555	6,647	6,167
Median Speed (Km/hr)	47.5	46.8	48.6
85th %tile speed (Km/hr)	54.5	54	55.6
85th %tile speed                                  School Times: 8AM-9AM, 2PM-3PM		49.5	49.9

 

The latest crash data indicated that there were no reported mid-block crashes in Bristol Street in the 5 years ending June 2024. There were two intersection crashes, one at the intersection with Sherwood Road and other at the intersection with Fowler Road.

 

The crash details are shown in the table below:

 

Date	Location	Description
04/12/2020	Sherwood Road & Bristol Street	Rear end
10/06/2024	Sherwood Road & Fowler Road	Off left/rt bnd=>obj

 

The results of the traffic count and recorded crash history have been used to determine the need for the installation of traffic calming devices in accordance with the criteria set out in Council’s Local Traffic and Transport Policy and Guidelines for Local Area Traffic Management (LATM).

 

The LATM assessment is summarised in the tables below:

Pedestrian crossing warrants

 

Council officers have investigated the request to provide a pedestrian crossing outside the Auburn Hospital Staff Carpark on Hargrave Road.

 

Transport for NSW has recently provided guideline to Local Governments to utilise reduced warrants on local roads, subject to satisfying safety requirements outlined in the Australian Standards and Austroads Guidelines.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Pedestrian and Vehicle counts:

 

Pedestrian and vehicle counts were taken on Thursday 6 March 2025 in the area between the Auburn Hospital Entry and Water Street. The hourly count data is given below:

 

 

Based on the above, it is noted that the numerical warrants for a pedestrian crossing are satisfied in accordance with Council’s Local Traffic and Transport Policy and Guidelines, considering this location is outside the Auburn Hospital. The location also meets the safety requirements as outlined in the Australian Standards.

 

Council has identified two specific locations for further investigation. These two locations are shown in the map below:

 

 

It is proposed to further investigate the two locations identified in the map. Council officers will prepare concept plans for the two locations identified and undertake consultation with affected residents and Auburn Hospital Administration.

 

A further report identifying the exact location suitable for pedestrian crossing will be provided to the Traffic Committee for consideration.

Subject to endorsement, Council officers will prepare concept plans and undertake consultation with affected residents, bus operator and hospital management on the proposal.

Locality Plan

Street View

Council has received a request from the business owner of No. 265 Guildford Road regarding the installation of a pedestrian fence on the eastern side of Talbot Road along the side boundary of No.265 Guildford Road.

The business owner has raised concerns about safety near an outdoor dining area located at the southeast corner of Guildford Road and Talbot Road. While there is already a safety fence on the western side of Talbot Road next to No. 271 Guildford Road, there is no such fence on the eastern side. The business owner is concerned that vehicles entering the intersection from Guildford Road are traveling at high speeds, creating a potential risk of crashing into the outdoor dining area.

No consultation has been undertaken as the installation of the pedestrian safety fence does not adversely impact on any parking or properties.
