General Business

 

The following general business was raised:

 

The Portico and Portico Parade, Toongabbie

 

Leading Senior Constable William Graham advised concerns regarding members of the public making U-turns at The Portico and Portico Parade intersection in Toongabbie. Council was requested to repaint the existing line marking in this location.

 

Rosewall Street and Hopman Street, Greystanes

 

Mr Elias Elias raised the concerns of a resident in relation to the recently installed ‘no stopping’ signs at the intersection of Rosewall Street and Hopman Street, Greystanes. Resident raised concerns as to why it was installed when the Committee did not support the installation of ‘no stopping’ signs in the cul-de-sac of Hopman Street. It is noted that the treatment at the intersection of Rosewall and Hopman Streets is to reinforce the road rules and is a statutory requirement. It is not mandatory in a cul-de-sac and Council received objections from affected residents to the proposal.

 

Butu Wargun Drive, Pemulwuy

 

Mr Elias Elias raised concerns of the two roundabouts connected by a bus way previously closed on Butu Wargun Drive. This was opened to assist with construction taking place nearby. At the request of the Police, it has been requested that this road be closed due to delinquent behaviour. Council has received a request from residents to keep this road open for their utilisation. It is suggested that this remains closed to ensure heavy vehicles do not access the residential zone.

 

Beresford Road, Greystanes

 

Mr Daniel Cavallo provided the committee with an update on a matter of urgency raised at the 6 March 2024 Council Meeting regarding the investigation of road safety improvements outside Beresford Road Public School. Council officers met with the Deputy Principal of the school and provided road safety information to share with the school community. Council officers are reviewing the effectiveness of existing road safety measures at this location, including practices relating to permits with respect to development and construction. A detailed report will be provided to the Traffic Committee for consideration at the next meeting in June 2024.
