UPDATE OCTOBER 2021

Works have now been completed as per images below.

UPDATE MAY 2021

Council has received funding under the 2020/21 Australian Government Black Spot Program to redesigned the intersection of Morton Street and Hazelbank Road to include a raised pedestrian crossing on the northern and eastern legs of Morton Street and Hazelbank Road and refuge islands and kerb build outs to improve pedestrian safety . The proposed raised pedestrian crossing incorporates a flat top road hump and kerb extensions which will increase visibility of approaching drivers, slow down traffic and reduce the crossing distance.

Based on the survey results and submissions, most respondents (96.43%) supported the proposal and  3.57% objected to the proposal. The objections are mainly related to the concerns such as; poor motorist visibility or speed, Traffic jams at peak times on Morton North, Traffic speeds excessively at high revs in off peak up south Morton and east Hazelbank, Loss of 5 unrestricted places due to garden design.

The outcomes of the community consultation were considered by Council’s Traffic & Transport Engineer and reported to the North Sydney Traffic Committee under Traffic Delegated Authority on 5 May 2021 recommending:

THAT Council re-design the intersection to include raised pedestrian crossings on the northern and eastern legs of Hazelbank Road and Morton Street and refuge islands on the southern and western sides of intersection.

TfNSW requested for installation of pedestrian crossing signs and pedestrian crossing warning signs as well as lighting to be considered at this intersection. Council will include signage as per TfNSW recommendation and will consider lighting design and installation at the intersection.

In addition TfNSW suggested that pedestrian crossing in Morton Street be relocated further north to avoid any possible traffic congestion at the intersection. In response to TfNSW concerns, Council advised that if the proposed pedestrian crossing is in line with the pedestrian desire line. If pedestrian crossing is relocated further north, pedestrians (mainly school children) may continue traveling on the desire line to avoid additional walking distance to the crossing. In addition, the relocation of crossing will result in loss of additional parking spaces which may not be supported by community.

The recommendation was subsequently supported by the Traffic Committee, including TfNSW.

Works are expected to commence shortly and be completed by 30 June 2021 weather and other factors permitting. A construction notification will be issued to affected residents prior to commencement.

If you have any enquiries regarding the proposal contact Council’s Traffic & Transport Operations Department on 9936 8100 or yoursay@northsydney.nsw.gov.au

Council has received representations from local businesses in McMahons Point to increase parking time limits in Princes Street to enable customers to park for longer to assist businesses impacted by COVID-19. At the Traffic Committee meeting on 30 April 2021 (Item 4.02), it was recommended that Council survey the local community with regard to increasing the time limits in Princes Street from 1/2 Hour Parking to 1 Hour Parking.

Since Council is unable to increase the supply of on-street parking, introducing a number of parking strategies may provide a more equitable way to manage parking and give residents and visitors fair access to the resource.  In addition, the proposal is to rationalise the parking restriction variations to simplify the time limits.

Please note however, under Council’s Resident Parking Policy there is a cost in obtaining a permit, and businesses and some residents may not be eligible for a permit.

Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy, including eligibility and fees, can be found on Council’s website https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/Transport_Parking/Resident_Visitor_Parking/Resident_Parking  or contact Customer Service on 9936 8100.  

Council is conducting a survey to determine whether there is support to retain existing restrictions or increase the parking time limits. The survey is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining support for the parking restrictions proposed for your street. All feedback received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents. Refer to Council’s Access to Information Policy and Privacy Statement regarding management of personal information.

Council is currently reviewing the existing parking restrictions in the southern end of Kurraba Point Residential Parking Area 32 specifically south of Shellcove Road on Kurraba Road and Baden Road.

It is Council’s understanding that residents and their visitors are experiencing difficulties in obtaining parking close to their property due to increased demand, building development, commuters and visitors to the area.

Since Council is unable to increase the supply of on-street parking, introducing a number of parking strategies may provide a more equitable way to manage parking and give residents and their visitors fair access to the resource.  In addition, the proposal is to rationalise the parking restriction variations to simplify the time limits.

Parking demand can be reduced in two ways: with time restrictions or through cost disincentives (paid parking).

The most effective way to manage commuter parking in high demand areas and enable improved parking opportunities for residents is to: extend parking restrictions, introduce paid parking, and make these areas resident exempt. On average, streets with timed parking have 1.4 times more vacant parking spaces, and streets with metered parking have 2.4 times more vacant parking spaces than streets with unrestricted parking.

Please note however, under Council’s Resident Parking Policy there is a cost in obtaining a permit, and some residents may not be eligible for a permit.

Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy, including eligibility and fees, can be found on Council’s website https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/Transport_Parking/Resident_Visitor_Parking/Resident_Parking  or contact Customer Service on 9936 8100.  

Council is conducting a survey to determine whether there is support to retain existing restrictions or introduce additional metered and/or timed parking restrictions. The survey is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining support for the parking restrictions proposed for your street.

The original request to install No Parking in front of No. 8 Webb Street was withdrawn, as such Council is no longer proceeding with any changes and no further action will be taken with regard to this matter.

Council has been approached by residents in Webb Street, McMahons Point raising concerns over the existing parking arrangements in the street and difficulty accessing their properties due to parked vehicles at this location.

Site investigation and using a vehicle’s turning path as per the Australian Standard AS 2891.1: 2004, shows vehicles parked south of No 8’s driveway impedes the access to the driveway to No.8 and No.5-7 Webb Street.

Therefore, Council proposes to install “No Parking” restrictions from the south side of No 8’s driveway to the north side of No 10’s driveway, as shown in the concept plan of the proposal available in the Document Library.

The survey is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining level of support for the proposed traffic and pedestrian arrangements for your street. All feedback received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

Outcomes of the consultation were considered at the Traffic Committee meeting on 16 October 2020. View the report here.

North Sydney Council is currently reviewing the existing parking restrictions in Bent Street and Lower Bent Street, Neutral Bay from Yeo Street to Alfred Street North, in Resident Parking Area 30.

It is Council’s understanding that residents and their visitors are experiencing difficulties in obtaining parking close to their property due to increased demand, particularly from commuters and visitors to the area.

Since Council is unable to increase the supply of on-street parking, introducing a number of parking strategies may provide a more equitable way to manage parking and give residents and their visitors fair access to the resource.  In addition, the proposal is to rationalise the parking restriction variations to simplify the time limits.

Parking demand can be reduced in two ways: with time restrictions or through cost disincentives (paid parking).

The most effective way to manage commuter parking in high demand areas and enable improved parking opportunities for residents is to: extend parking restrictions, introduce paid parking, and make these areas resident exempt. On average, streets with timed parking have 1.4 times more vacant parking spaces, and streets with metered parking have 2.4 times more vacant parking spaces than streets with unrestricted parking.

Please note however, under Council’s Resident Parking Policy there is a cost in obtaining a permit, and some residents may not be eligible for a permit.

Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy, including eligibility and fees, can be found on Council’s website https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/Transport_Parking/Resident_Visitor_Parking/Resident_Parking  or contact Customer Service on 9936 8100.   

Council is conducting a survey to determine whether there is support to retain existing restrictions or introduce additional metered and/or timed parking restrictions. The survey is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining support for the parking restrictions proposed for your street.

1. THAT based on the finding of the Road Safety Audit and safety issues stated in the report, installation of speed cushions not to proceed.
2. THAT other alternate treatments be investigated by Council’s Traffic Engineer to resolve the speeding issues and report back to Traffic Committee.”

The matter was investigated further by Council’s Traffic Engineer for alternate solutions in Union Street.  Three options were considered and presented to Union Precinct Committee and are now ready for public exhibition.

If there is general community support for any of the above proposed options, it is intended that works will be completed in the 2021-2022 financial year.

Council was successful in gaining funding for the Federal Government's Stimulus Commitment Road Safety Program (School Zone Infrastructure), to upgrade the existing pedestrian crossing on Carter Street between Bellevue Street and Colin Street, Cammeray.   

As part of the proposal, kerb extensions will be built on both sides of the pedestrian crossing and on the corners of Carter Street and Colin Street which will increase visibility of approaching drivers, slow down traffic and reduce the crossing distance.

Feedback closed 11.59pm Thursday 1 April 2021

UPDATE OCTOBER 2021

The outcome of community consultation indicated that majority of the respondents supported 45-degree angle parking over 90-degree angle parking. 

Consequently, 45-degree angle parking has been proposed and approved by the North Sydney Local Traffic Committee. Council will notify the residents of Reserve Street and proceed to install the signage as soon as practical.

Feedback closes 11.59pm Sunday 19 September 2021

Council has received requests from residents of Reserve Street formalise angle parking spaces in the eastern section of Reserve Street, Neutral Bay. 

Site investigations found that one side of Reserve Street can be converted to angle parking based on the road width according to the Australian Standards, and the southern side is preferred for angle parking to maximise the parking provision in the street.

Therefore, Council is proposing to change the existing parallel parking on the southern side of Reserve Street to sign posted angle parking with options for either 45-degree angle parking or 90-degree angle parking (90-degree angle parking will enable parking for up to 4 additional vehicles but reduces the travel lane space by approximately 0.2m compared to 45-degree angle parking). The northern side would remain as parallel parking without sign posting. A plan of the proposed changes is available in the Document Library - Current Surveys. 

It is expected that the results of this consultation will be considered by the North Sydney Traffic Committee in October 2021. To follow the progress of this matter please revisit this webpage.

The feedback form is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining support for the parking arrangements proposed. All feedback received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents. Refer to Council’s Access to Information Policy and Privacy Statement regarding management of personal information.

Note: This survey was incorrectly marked as being extended

Council has received  Federal Government Stimulus Road Safety Program (School Zone Infrastructure) funding, to upgrade the existing pedestrian crossing on Burton Street at Humphrey Place, Kirribilli.  The proposal is to raise the pedestrian crossing to footpath level and install kerb extensions on both sides of the pedestrian crossing to increase visibility of approaching drivers, slow down traffic and reduce the crossing distance. The proposal will result in the loss of one parking space on the southern side of Burton Street to comply with TfNSW safety requirements (view the plan in the Document Library).

In addition, St Aloysius College has requested Council to provide additional pick up/drop off spaces in Burton Street and extend the drop off hours from 7am during school times. Council is proposing to:

•  change the drop off (No Parking) time to commence at 7am (currently 8am) on the southern side of Burton Street;
• change the “1/2 Hour Parking” commence at 9am (currently 8.30am) on the northern side of Burton Street and;
• install new drop-off “No Parking 7am-9am, 2:30pm-4pm Mon-Fri” on the northern side of Burton Street. 

If there is general community support for this proposal, it is intended that works will be completed by the end of December 2021.

The survey is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining level of support for the proposed traffic and pedestrian arrangements for your street. All feedback received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

The North Sydney Community Strategic Plan 2018 – 2028 identifies community demand for continued improvement to walking facilities in North Sydney.  As part of the response to this demand, Council is proposing to undertake works at the intersection of Alfred Street North and Winter Avenue, Neutral Bay, to improve pedestrian access in the area.  The proposed works include:

• Raising the existing pedestrian crossing over Alfred Street North above road level, to footpath height.  This is proposed to encourage slower vehicle speeds and improve visibility at the pedestrian crossing, as both matters have been raised as issues by members of the local community. The raised crossing would be paved with charcoal coloured pavers to improve the quality of the public domain.

• Construction of a ‘continuous footpath treatment’ over Winter Avenue at the intersection with Alfred Street North.  This treatment comprises a formal crossing point, raised to footpath height, that provides continuous level access for pedestrians through the intersection, and encourages reduced vehicle speeds.  This area would be paved with charcoal coloured pavers to improve the quality of the public domain.
• The provision of a new ‘kerb ramp’ that allows people on bikes to access the existing walking and cycling bridge over the Warringah Freeway without having to use the pedestrian crossing.
• Minor stormwater system upgrades.

The proposed works will require the removal of one metered parking space to the immediate north of the pedestrian crossing.  

A diagram showing the layout of the proposed works is available in the document library.

Note: that all comments received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

Should you require any further information, please contact Council’s Sustainable Transport Projects Coordinator, Lindsay Menday on 9936 8251 or lindsay.menday@northsydney.nsw.gov.au.

Update June 2020

The results of the community survey were considered by Council's Traffic Engineer and the following recommendation was made:

1. THAT Council extend the existing “2P Meter 8.30am-10pm Mon-Sun Permit Holders Excepted Area 2” zone on the eastern side of Broughton Street north of Greenway Drive by 17.4m to create two new parking spaces as shown on Plan A.

2. THAT Council remove the traffic island on the western side of Broughton Street south of Greenway Drive, and extend the “4P Meter 8.30am-6pm Mon- Fri” zone by 6m to create one new parking space as shown on Plan B.

The above recommendations were forwarded to Transport for NSW, the NSW Police and the local State Member and subsequently received no objection. The parking changes will be implemented shortly.

The summary of the consultation outcomes can be viewed in the Document Library.

Plan A - Reduce 17.2 metres of No Stopping to 5.2 metres before the kerbside traffic island north of Greenway Drive, to create two spaces of “2P meter 8.30am-10pm Mon-Sun Permit Holders Excepted Area 2”.

Plan B - Demolish the existing 7.4 metre traffic island and create one space of “4P meter 8.30am-6.00pm Mon-Fri” on the western side of Broughton Street, south of Greenway Drive.

A plan of the two proposals is available in the document library. Any comments you  have regarding the proposals will assist in determining the desired traffic arrangements in Broughton Street near Greenway Drive.

If there is general community support for these proposals, it is intended that works will be constructed by the end of December 2019.

All comments received by Sunday 8 September 2019 will be considered when the matter is determined, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

UPDATE JULY 2022

On 2 July 2021 Council submitted a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) to Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to approve the conversion of Ben Boyd Lane (between Belgrave Street to Grosvenor Street) to a southbound one-way street. The TMP was approved by TfNSW on 30 March 2022.

Subsequently, this proposal has been approved by the Local Traffic Committee on 10 June 2022 and adopted at the Council Meeting on 27 June 2022.

It is anticipated that the new signs will be installed by Council’s Works section as soon as practical. 

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2021

The outcome of the community consultation indicated that majority of survey respondents supported converting Ben Boyd Lane to one-way and the preferred direction from the majority of those respondents was southbound.

Consequently, Council has submitted a Traffic Management Plan to Transport for NSW (TfNSW) for approval to convert Ben Boyd Lane between Belgrave Street and Grosvenor Street into one-way traffic southbound. Once Council has received approval from TfNSW, the one-way traffic arrangement in Ben Boyd Lane will be implemented as soon as practical.

Feedback closes midnight Sunday 9 August 2020

The issue of pedestrian safety in Ben Boyd Lane between Grosvenor Street and Belgrave Street, Cremorne has been raised with Council. 

This matter was considered at the North Sydney Local Traffic Committee Meeting on 20 March 2020. Subsequently, Council resolved to survey the community on the introduction of one-way traffic flow along Ben Boyd Lane between Grosvenor Street and Belgrave Street. 

A plan/map of the proposal is available in the Document Library - Current Surveys. Any comments you may have regarding the proposal will assist in determining the desired traffic arrangements in Ben Boyd Lane between Grosvenor Street and Belgrave Street. 

If there is general community support for the one-way proposal, a Traffic Management Plan will be prepared and submitted to TfNSW for approval.

Council has received representations concerning deliveries to Woolworths Metro, Kirribilli. The matter was considered by the North Sydney Traffic Committee at its meeting on 8 February 2019 where it was recommended that Council investigate a suitable location for a loading zone between 4am and 7.30am, for a trial period of 6 months, including consultation with local businesses.

Council received further representations from Woolworths and members of the community suggesting that 4am may be too early due to noise concerns. In response to these representations, Council is proposing to install a 11.4 metre Loading Zone 6am to 9am Monday to Saturday in front of 11-17 Broughton Street (TerryWhite Chemmart and Thai Fusion). In selecting the location, Council’s Traffic Engineers have taken into consideration the size of the delivery trucks, proximity to Woolworths and existing parking restrictions.

Council is seeking feedback from the community regarding this proposal before determining this matter. If Council proceeds with installation of a loading zone Council, will review the matter after 6 months.

All comments received by Sunday 8 September 2019 will be considered when the matter is determined, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

To obtain a paper version of the survey contact Council’s Traffic Operations Manager, Michaela Kemp on 9936 8243 or visit the Customer Service Desk.

A new pedestrian crossing was installed in Bannerman Street, Cremorne, near to the intersection with Murdoch Street, in 2018. Council is now seeking community feedback on two potential amendments to the crossing as follows:

1. Raising the existing crossing above road level, or;
2. Constructing a new crossing (raised above road level) approximately 10m west (i.e. towards Claude Avenue) of the current location.

Raising the crossing above road level is likely to increase pedestrian visibility and reduce vehicle speeds. The option to relocate the crossing (option 2) would require the removal of three (3) parking spaces.  The estimated cost and impact on parking of the two pedestrian crossing options is;

Update 1 June 2021

The Traffic Committee at its 529 meeting dated 22 November 2019 considered the survey results of a community consultation for Resident Parking Area 19 – Crows Nest. The following recommendations were made to the Traffic Committee which were subsequently resolved to recommend changes to some of the parking restrictions

1. THAT Council adopt the attached parking restriction recommendations for Crows Nest Parking Area 19 (East).

2. THAT Council notify the residents before installing the parking restriction changes.

3. THAT the new parking restrictions be reviewed in three (3) months and again in six (6) months after the date of installation in Crows Nest Parking Area 19.

4. THAT Council installs the statutory 10m “No Stopping” restrictions adjacent to the new residential parking zone at the intersections that lack this restriction.

The detailed report to the Traffic Committee with the outcomes and list of changes can be accessed through the following link – Report to Traffic Committee 22/11/2019 

Council delayed implementation of these parking changes while restrictive COVID-19 public health orders were in place. As the public health orders are progressively relaxed and more people return to workplaces, Council recommenced implementation of the adopted parking changes and a notification was distributed to affected properties on 14 October 2020.

Therefore, the new signage is now due for review.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. THAT the parking restrictions installed in Resident Parking Area 19 - Crows Nest in October 2020, remain.

Traffic committee unanimously resolved to recommend:

1. THAT the parking restrictions installed in Resident Parking Area 19 - Crows Nest in October 2020, remain.

****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

NOTES

• Parking changes will retain existing ‘resident parking permit holders excepted - Area 19’, if the existing restriction has ‘resident parking permit holders excepted - Area 19’ wording on the signs.
• Loading zones, Taxi Zones, Bus zones, Car Share Spaces, 5 minute parking restrictions and Motor Bike spaces are excluded from this survey and will remain unchanged.

North Sydney Council is undertaking a review of the existing parking restrictions in the Crows Nest area - Parking Area 19 which includes Alexander Lane, Alexander Street, Atchison Street, Bernard Lane, Brook Street, Burlington Street, Chandos Lane, Chandos Street, Devonshire Street, Donnelly Road, Edwin Street, Ernest Street, Holtermann Street, Huntington Street, Jenkins Lane, Macarthur Avenue, Matthew Lane, Matthew Street, Metcalfe Street, Miller Street, Rodborough Street, Rosalind Street, Sophia Street, Thomas Lane, Trafalgar Street, West Street and Wheatleigh Street. See map in Document Library - Current Surveys with highlighted roads indicating the area being reviewed.

It is Council’s understanding that residents and their visitors are experiencing difficulties in obtaining parking close to their property due to increased demand, particularly from commuters and visitors to the area.

Since Council is unable to increase the supply of on-street parking, introducing a number of parking strategies will provide a more equitable way to manage parking and give residents and their visitors fair access to the resource.  In addition, the proposal is to rationalise the parking restriction variations to simplify the time limits.

Parking demand can be reduced in two ways: with time restrictions or through cost disincentives (paid parking).

The most effective way to manage commuter parking in high demand areas and enable improved parking opportunities for residents is to: extend parking restrictions, introduce paid parking, and make these areas resident exempt. Combined with enforcement, this ensures that there is a turnover of vehicles and thus improves the likelihood of finding a vacant parking space. 

Please note however, under Council’s Resident Parking Policy there is a cost in obtaining a permit, and some residents may not be eligible for a permit.

Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy, including eligibility and fees, can be found on Council’s website https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/Council_Meetings/Forms/Parking or contact Customer Service on 9936 8100.

Council is conducting a survey to determine whether there is support to retain existing restrictions or introduce additional metered and/or timed parking restrictions. The survey is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining support for the parking restrictions proposed for your street.

Recently parking in front of businesses on Military Road, Cremorne between Spencer Road and Winnie Street was permanently removed of as part of the Transport for NSW B-Line project and changes to the tidal flow system. Council has received representations on behalf of Cremorne businesses to provide facilities for loading and short-term parking in Parraween Street which previously occurred from Military Road.

In response to these representations, the following parking changes are proposed on the southern side of Parraween Street, to the west of the pedestrian crossing at Paling Street, adjacent to Cremorne Garden Plaza (330-338 Military Road):

Council has received correspondence from residents concerned with the use of the existing Loading Zone in Zig Zag Lane, Crows Nest.  Residents have advised that the Loading Zone is used 24 hours a day and these activities are creating excessive noise especially at night time. It was suggested to remove the Loading Zone and install No Stopping to prevent vehicles accessing this area.

As the Loading Zone is used by businesses on daily basis and cannot be removed. In order to assist residents with the issue and maintain the Loading Zone facility, Council is proposing to restrict the loading Zone times. Following consideration by the North Sydney Traffic Committee, North Sydney Council has adopted the following recommendation for changes in the existing Loading Zone arrangement in Zig Zag Lane, Crows Nest:

THAT the existing Loading Zone on the northern side of Zig Zag Lan between Willoughby Lane and Zig Zag Lane be restricted to “7am-5pm Mon-Fri, 8am-12:30pm Sat” with additional “No Stopping other times” to alleviate the issue, subject to consultation with the residents and business.

The purpose of this survey is to determine if the majority of the residents and businesses wish to retain the existing Loading Zone or introduce the time restriction. The survey is not a voting form as such, but it will assist in determining the support for the restriction proposed. If there is no support for the proposed changes to the Loading Zone restriction, then it will not occur.

THAT the existing two to three “Unrestricted Parking” spaces on the western side of Cassins Lane, North Sydney be converted to “4 Hour Parking 8:30am ‐ 6pm Mon‐Fri, Permit Holders Excepted Area 21” parking spaces. (4.5)

Feedback closed midnight Monday 29 June 2020

BACKGROUND

In 2019 Council reviewed the parking restrictions in the North Sydney Parking Area 21 on Carlow Street; Tucker Street; Cassins Avenue and Cassins Lane.  It is Council’s understanding that residents and their visitors were experiencing difficulties in obtaining parking close to their property due to increased demand. 

Subsequently, at its meeting of 26 August 2019, Council resolved that the new parking restrictions be reviewed six months after the date of installation in Parking Area 21. The new signs were installed on 11 October 2019. Based on feedback gathered over the last six months, and review of the occupancy rates in Cassins Lane, Council is proposing that the existing three spaces of "Unrestricted Parking" on the western side of Cassins Lane, near the intersection of Carlow Street, be converted to "2P 8:30am-6pm Mon-Fri, Permit Holders Excepted Area 21" parking spaces.  (a diagram of the proposed change is available in the Document Library - Current Surveys). 

Any feedback received by Monday 29 June 2020 will be taken into consideration when the matter is considered by the North Sydney Traffic Committee on Friday 24 July 2020.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2019

Feedback closed midnight Sunday 16 June 2019

The footpath on the eastern side of Rowlison Parade, Cammeray linking to the northern footpath in The Boulevarde was closed approximately 15 years ago due to accessibility concerns, safety and lighting issues.

In order to reinstate a footpath in this location, an alternate proposal has been formulated to construct a footpath at road level, connecting the missing link between the footpaths on either side of the above location.

The proposal will require the construction of kerb and gutter, a new concrete footpath, reconstruction of approximately 10m of the existing retaining wall to the new alignment, installation of a new fence on top of the retaining wall, realignment of the centreline marking and the installation of a section of pedestrian safety fence on the road side of the footpath at the corner of The Boulevarde.

This layout will allow the footpath to be accessible for the mobility-impaired, prams, etc; be illuminated by the existing road lighting and not direct users to the driveway of No. 49 The Boulevarde. It will, however require the deletion of approximately 15m of parking in this section of Rowlison Parade. 

Refer to plans in the document library.

If there is general community support for this proposal, it is intended that works will be included in the 2018/9 footpath construction program.

Any comments you may have regarding the proposals will assist in determining the desired pedestrian facilities at this location. If a change in the existing footpath facilities is not considered warranted by the community then this proposal may not proceed.

UPDATE JULY 2019

Council received 37 response (29.3% response rate). Of the responses received 25 (67.6%) were in favour of the proposal and 12 (32.4%) were in favour of retaining the existing conditions.

Based on the community feedback, the recommendation that Council proceed with the implementation of the proposed raised pedestrian crossing was forwarded to Roads and Maritime Services, NSW Police and the local State Member as members of the North Sydney Traffic Committee and subsequently received no objection.

Council's contractor, Ezy Pave will undertake the works involving the installation of a raised pedestrian crossing and associated kerb and gutter and drainage and will commence 25 July 2019. It is expected to take 3-4 weeks to complete.

Feedback closes Monday 4 March 2019.

As part of Council’s commitment to improve pedestrian and traffic safety, it is proposed to install a raised pedestrian crossing on the northern side of the intersection of Abbott Street and Palmer Street.

The proposed raised pedestrian crossing will increase visibility of approaching drivers, slow down traffic and reduce the crossing distances. A plan of the proposal is available in the document library.

If there is general community support for this proposal, it is intended that works will be finalised by the end of June 2019.

Any comments you may have regarding the proposals will assist in determining the desired traffic arrangements at the intersection and Abbott Street and Palmer Street. If a change in the existing traffic arrangements is not considered warranted by the community then this proposal may not proceed.

Following consultation carried out in July 2018, Council has progressed design of the Shared Zone in Grosvenor Lane between Ben Boyd Road and Young Street.

To improve pedestrian safety and public domain outcomes intended for the Shared Zone, Council has negotiated alternative truck routes for deliveries to Woolworths to minimise heavy vehicle movements along the new Shared Zone in Grosvenor Lane.

Woolworths delivery trucks will travel via Ben Boyd Road, Belgrave Street, Young Street and Grosvenor Lane. To allow for these movements, the following changes to parking are required:

1. Remove one (1) parking space on Young Street south of Belgrave Street.
2. Relocate loading zone and 15-minute parking on Grosvenor Lane east of Young Street.

In order to offset the loss of parking resulting from the proposed Woolworths delivery route, the Shared Zone design has been amended to include seven (7) short-stay (15-minute parking) spaces on the northern side of Grosvenor Lane between Young Lane and Young Street. Refer to plan in the document library for further details.

The North Sydney Community Strategic Plan 2018 - 2028 identifies community demand for continued improvement to walking facilities in North Sydney.  

As part of Council’s response to this demand, we are proposing to install new kerb extensions at the intersection between Atchison Street and Oxley Street, St Leonards. The intent of the works is to improve access, amenity and safety for people walking in the area. 

The proposed changes at this intersection include:

• New kerb extensions on Atchison Street.  These will shorten pedestrian crossing distances and provide improved visibility to/from pedestrian and road areas. 
• Expanded pedestrian/footpath areas.
• New garden beds and landscaping.

A concept plan showing the proposed changes is available in the document library.

The changes will include the removal of the existing central traffic islands on Atchison Street, which do not meet contemporary minimum width requirements for a pedestrian refuge.

The proposal will not reduce the number of parking spaces in the area.

If there is general community support for the proposed kerb extensions, it is intended that construction will be undertaken prior to the end of June 2019.

As part of the 2018/2019 implementation of North Sydney Council’s Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Action Plans, it is proposed to install traffic calming devices in Union Street, McMahons Point.

The proposed speed cushions will increase safety by slowing vehicle speeds. A speed cushion is similar to a speed hump, except that it does not extend the full width of the roadway. The proposed speed cushions will be 75mm high to ensure minimal noise generation and allow buses to traverse without mounting the device. A plan of the proposal is shown overleaf

If there is general community support for the proposal, it is intended that works will be finalised by the end of June 2019.

Any comments you may have regarding the proposal will assist in determining the desired traffic arrangements in Union Street.  If a change in the existing traffic arrangements in Union Street is not considered warranted by the community, then this proposal may not proceed.

The proposed speed cushions will increase safety by slowing vehicle speeds. A speed cushion is similar to a speed hump, except that it does not extend the full width of the roadway. The proposed speed cushions will be 75mm high to ensure minimal noise generation. A plan of the proposal is shown in the document library.

Any comments you may have regarding the proposal will assist in determining the desired traffic arrangements in Russell Street.  If a change in the existing traffic arrangements in Russell Street is not considered warranted by the community, then this proposal may not proceed.

Please note that all comments received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

The North Sydney Community Strategic Plan 2018 – 2028 identifies community demand for continued improvement to walking facilities in North Sydney.  As part of Council’s response to this demand, a concept design has been prepared for new pedestrian crossings at the intersection between Albany Street and Oxley Street, St Leonards. The intent of the works is to improve access, amenity and safety for people walking in the area. 

Council has received prior community feedback about it being difficult to cross at the intersection, and pedestrian activity in this area will continue to grow as nearby developments are completed and with the opening of the Crows Nest Metro Station.

The proposed changes at this intersection include:

• a new raised pedestrian crossing on each approach to the intersection.  These would be level with footpaths
• expanded pedestrian/footpath areas
• new garden beds and landscaping
• reconstruction of the internal roundabout circle

Note: The changes would require the removal of car parking spaces on approach to the intersection to ensure statutory setbacks to the new pedestrian crossings are provided. The setbacks are to ensure visibility to and from pedestrian crossing areas.  The spaces required for each of the crossings are shown in red on the plan. The plan can be found in the document library.

The project includes the expansion and landscaping of pedestrian areas around the intersection, including the installation of new garden beds.  Some trees may be impacted by the works, however, should this occur, these will be replaced with new plantings.

Please note that all comments received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.

UPDATE 14 AUGUST 2019

Following public consultation and consideration by the North Sydney Traffic Committee, North Sydney Council has adopted the following recommendations:

SPRUSON STREET

1. THAT the existing three (3) unrestricted parking spaces on the western side of Spruson Street between Holdsworth Road and Phillips Street be changed to “No Parking”.

2. THAT the existing unrestricted parking spaces on the eastern side of Spruson Street between Holdsworth Road and Phillips Street be changed to ‘2 Hour 8:30am-6pm Mon-Fri Permit Holders Excepted Area 30’.

3. THAT the existing unrestricted parking spaces on both sides of Spruson Street between Phillips Street and Colindia Avenue be changed to ‘2 Hour 8:30am-6pm Mon-Fri Permit Holders Excepted Area 30’.

PHILLIPS STREET

1. THAT half of the existing unrestricted parking spaces (approx. 8 car spaces) on the southern side of Phillips Street between Spruson Street and Ben Boyd Road be changed to ‘2 Hour 8:30am-6pm Mon-Fri Permit Holders Excepted Area 30 and 31’.

2. THAT the existing ‘2 Hour 8:30am-6pm Mon-Fri Permit Holders Excepted Area 31’ restrictions (approx. 3 car spaces) on the northern side of Phillips Street between No.4A and No.10 Phillips Street be changed to include Area 30 & Area 31 permits.

Refer to plan here

It is expected that these changes will occur shortly, within the next three weeks.

Background

It is Council’s understanding that buses are experiencing difficulties negotiating the narrow section of Spruson Street between Holdsworth Road and Phillips Street. With cars parked on both sides of the narrow section, bus operator has advised that this has caused difficulties when inbound and outbound services meet at the intersection and may result in potential collision with parked vehicles.

Council at its meeting on 27 August 2018 considered the matter and resolved to survey the residents of Spruson Street and surrounding streets with regard to the removal of three (3) parking spaces on the western side of Spruson Street between Holdsworth Road and Phillips Street to improve bus access and road safety.

As part of the proposal, it was found that there is an opportunity to compensate the parking loss by installing 90-degree angle parking on Spruson Street between property no. 50 and 68 where the road width is approximately 12.8m. Considering there are more driveways on the eastern side than the western side of the subject road section, it is proposed to install 90-degree angle parking on the western side to maximise parking (net increase of 13 spaces) and No Parking restrictions on the eastern side to maintain two-way traffic flow.

Further at its meeting on 7 September 2018, Council resolved to include an additional alternative option in the Spruson Street survey to install 2-hour timed parking on the eastern side of Spruson Street between Holdsworth Road and Phillips Street and in Phillips Street between Ben Boyd Road and Spruson Street to offset the proposed loss of 3 parking spaces in Spruson Street. Additionally, it is proposed to extend the 2-hour parking restrictions in Spruson Street to Colindia Avenue.

The use of 2-hour parking restrictions will prevent the long-term parking of commuters and businesses while still providing some flexibility for local residents and their visitors. Please note however under Council’s Resident Parking Policy some residents may not be eligible for a permit and there is a cost in obtaining a permit.

Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy, including eligibility and fees, can be found on Council’s website https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/Council_Meetings/Forms/Parking or contact Customer Service on 9936 8100. 

The purpose of this survey is to determine if there is support to retain existing restrictions or change existing parking restrictions and configurations. The survey is not a voting form as such, but will assist in determining support for the parking arrangements proposed in your street.

It is expected that the results of this survey will be considered by the North Sydney Traffic Committee on Friday, 22 March 2019. All members of the community are welcome to attend this meeting.

Please refer to the plan in the Document Library. 

UPDATE 26/3/19

The outcomes of the community engagement and recommendations were reported to the Traffic Committee under delegated authority on 14 March 2019. The following recommendation was subsequently approved under delegated authority on 18 March 2019:

THAT Council implement the parking arrangements in Mount Street, North Sydney as per the attached plan Proposed Parking Configurations dated January 2019 (Proposal 1B)

For further details on the changes please refer to the report and plan in the Mount Street document library.

The parking changes will be implemented on completion of the streetscape works at 100 Mount Street.

Amendments were made to the intersection between Young Street and Grasmere Road in 2017.  

Following the completion of the works, Council received feedback from members of the community raising concern about some aspects on the new design.  The most common issues raised were:

• concerns that speeds had increased in Grasmere Road as a result of the intersection changes.
• concerns that drivers were confused over who has priority at the intersection.
• concerns about insufficient visibility to and from the pedestrian crossing point over Young Street to the south of Grasmere Road.

In response to these concerns, Council conducted a review of the intersection and engaged Transport and Urban Planning Pty Ltd to conduct an independent Road Safety Audit. The Road Safety Audit recommended a number of signage and linemarking changes to improve safety, which will be made early in 2019. Further details regarding the review, and a full version of the Road Safety Audit, are available in the Council report in the document library.

Before and after speed counts for the intersection were collected as part of the review, and are provided in notification letter in the document library.

Feedback closes Wednesday 27 February 2019.

As part of Council’s commitment to improve pedestrian and traffic safety, it is proposed to install a raised pedestrian crossing on Yeo Street, on the western side of the intersection with Watson Street.

The proposed pedestrian crossing incorporates a flat top road hump and kerb extensions which will increase visibility of approaching drivers, slow down traffic and reduce the crossing distance. A copy of the plan is available in the document library.

Please note: the proposal will result in a loss of three on-street parking spaces in order to be compliant with Australian Standards and RMS guidelines.

If there is general community support for this proposal, it is intended that works will be finalised by the end of June 2019.

Any comments you may have regarding the proposals will assist in determining the desired traffic arrangements in Yeo Street. If a change in the existing traffic arrangements in Yeo Street is not considered warranted by the community then this proposal may not proceed.

UPDATE MAY 2021

Following a 6-month review, Council, through the North Sydney Traffic Committee has approved further changes in Milray Avenue.

1. On the northern side of Milray Ave, the existing 3 unrestricted parking spaces in front of H.No.84 Milray Avenue, be converted back to “4P 8:30am‐6pm Mon‐Fri, Permit Holders Excepted Area 15”.

2. On the western side of Milray Ave, the existing 2 unrestricted parking spaces in front of H.No.20 Milray Avenue, be converted to “4P 8:30am‐6pm Mon‐Fri, Permit Holders Excepted Area 15”.

UPDATE JUNE 2020

Following public consultation and a 3-month review, Council, through the North Sydney Traffic Committee has approved further changes in Shirley Road, Milray Avenue and Tryon Avenue.

A map and a copy of notification letters is available in the document library.

Feedback closed 4 January 2019.

A summary of the Area 15 (Wollstonecraft) survey results are available in the Completed Survey Document Library. The recommendations of Council’s Traffic Engineer were referred the external Traffic Committee members on 5 June 2019 under delegated authority and subsequently approved on the 8 July 2019.

Notifications letters will be distributed to affected residents informing them of the parking changes by Friday 26 July 2019.  Signage will be installed shortly thereafter.

It is Council’s understanding that residents and their visitors are experiencing increasing difficulties in obtaining parking close to their property due to increased demand, particularly from commuters and visitors to the area.

Since Council is unable to increase the supply of on-street parking, it is proposed to introduce a number of parking strategies which will provide a more equitable way to manage parking and give residents and their visitors fair access to the resource.  In addition, the proposal is to rationalise the parking restriction variations to simplify the time limits.

The most effective way to manage commuter parking is to extend parking restrictions, and/or install parking meters and make them resident exempt.  Combined with enforcement, this ensures that there is a turnover of vehicles and improves the likelihood of finding a vacant parking space.  Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy, including eligibility and fees, can be found on Council’s website https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/Council_Meetings/Forms/Parking or contact Customer Service on 9936 8100.

Council also operates a Visitor Parking Permit scheme.  Vehicles that display the permit are able to park in residential zones and are not subject to the time restrictions.  Each residential property is entitled to 30 Visitor Permits per year, and each permit is valid for one day.  For further information, including fees, visit Council’s website https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/Business_Parking/Resident_Visitor_Parking/Visitor_Parking or contact Customer Service on 9936 8100.

UPDATE:  Following community consultation, the North Sydney Traffic Committee approved the proposed relocation of the Mail Zone outside 34-40 Union Street, McMahons Point as per the plan available in the Closed/Expired Document Library.

It is expected the changes will be implemented by 9 November 2018. Relocation of the Street Posting Boxes will be undertaken by Australia Post. Motorists are advised to always check signs before parking.

Feedback closed 5pm Friday 17 August 2018.

Council has received representations regarding sight issues exiting the driveway of 34-40 Union Street, McMahons Point due to vehicles parked to the west of the driveway. While it has been the longstanding position of Council not to remove parking adjacent to driveways, there may be an opportunity to adjust the current parking arrangements to improve visibility at the driveway, while retaining the on-street parking provisions.

It is proposed to relocate the Mail Zone, currently positioned to the east of the driveway, to the western side of the driveway. This will restrict vehicles from parking within up to 7.5 metres west of the driveway, when the Mail Zone is not in use. 2 spaces of ½ Hour Parking which currently extends either side of the driveway will be retained by shifting the entire zone to the eastern side of the driveway. In addition, Australia Post will relocate the existing red street posting box and the green distribution box to the proposed Mail Zone location. A plan of the proposed changes is in the Document Library.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Council is seeking feedback on the proposal and will use this feedback to progress to implementation. The attached survey is not a voting form as such, but it will assist in determining the support for the proposed changes.

Please note that all comments received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents. You can follow the progress of this matter at the above webpage. 

If you have any enquiries regarding the proposal, please contact Michaela Kemp on 9936 8100.

Background

Council undertook public exhibition of the North Sydney CBD Laneways concept plan (Laneways Masterplan) between November 2017 and January 2018. The community’s response was largely positive with some concerns being raised around the need to provide sufficient areas for business servicing activities within the precinct. In March 2018, Council resolved to endorse the concept masterplan, noting the need to resolve more detailed design matters.

The re-development of 100 Mount Street and required streetscape works represents an opportunity to implement an early stage of the concept plan by improving the pedestrian environment and revising the parking layout along its Mount Street frontage. Pedestrian activity in the Mount Street area is expected to increase considerably over the next few years with nearby major developments bringing significant growth in the area. 

What's proposed?

The plan has been prepared to implement the first stage of the endorsed Laneways Masterplan. It can be viewed in the document library. The plan further proposes to deliver improvements as part of a comprehensive streetscape upgrade that will expand and improve public space with increased footpath/public domain space, and new high quality paving.

The improvements are proposed on the northern side of Mount Street between Denison Street and Walker Street and include:

• Changes to kerb alignment to achieve acceptable footpath levels for pedestrians
• Widening of the footpath to improve public domain, pedestrian amenity and to accommodate for increased pedestrian foot traffic in the near future
• Conversion of former angle parking (currently Work Zone for 100 Mount Street) to parallel parking
• Changes to parking restrictions to accommodate loading activities between 5am-10am Mon-Fri; and 1 Hour Metered Parking from 10am-midnight Mon-Fri and 8.30am-12.30pm Saturdays

No changes are proposed to the kerb or parking on the southern side of Mount Street.

On 15 June 2018, Council’s Traffic Committee considered the proposed changes and recommended consultation be undertaken prior to any further implementation. The streetscape works would likely be undertaken in October/November 2018.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2019

The results of this consultation were considered by the North Sydney Traffic Committee on 18 October 2019. The minutes of this meeting were subsequently endorsed by Council on 28 October 2019.

Survey closes 01 December 2017. Council has recently reviewed the existing parking restrictions in the Crows Nest Parking Area 19 bounded by Chandos Street, Alexander Street, Albany Street and Oxley Street.  Refer to map in 'Document Library' - red lines indicating the approximate scope of proposed changes.

It is Council’s understanding that residents and their visitors are experiencing increasing difficulties in obtaining parking close to their property due to increased demand, particularly from commuters and visitors to the area.

Since Council is unable to increase the supply of on-street parking, it is proposed to introduce a number of parking strategies which will provide a more equitable way to manage parking and give residents and their visitors fair access to the resource.  In addition, the proposal is to rationalise the parking restriction variations to simplify the time limits.

The most effective way to manage commuter parking is to extend parking restrictions, introduce parking meters and make these areas resident exempt.  Combined with enforcement, this ensures that there is a turnover of vehicles and improves the likelihood of finding a vacant parking space.  Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy (refer to 'Important Links' to view this Policy), including eligibility and fees.

Please note that restrictions in Willoughby Road will not include resident parking.

Council also operates a Visitor Parking Permit Scheme.  Vehicles that display the permit are able to park in residential zones and are not subject to the time restrictions. Each residential property is entitled to 30 Visitor Permits per year, and each permit is valid for one day. For further information, including fees, refer to 'Important Links'.

This survey is not a voting form as such, but will assist in determining support for the parking restrictions proposed for your street.

Feedback closed 15 November 2017. Council has received concerns regarding parking arrangements in Shellcove Road hindering driveway and footpath access between Billong Street and Hollowforth Avenue, and it is Council’s understanding that the residents in Shellcove Road are experiencing increasing difficulties obtaining parking close to their property, due to increased demand, particularly from commuters.

This matter was considered at the North Sydney Traffic Committee on 5 May 2017 and at the Council meeting on 22 May 2017 where it was subsequently resolved that appropriate enforcement of the Road Rules be carried out, and that local residents be surveyed to ascertain their preferences for the ongoing parking arrangements in Shellcove Road.

Council has proposed three options (Options 1, 2 or 3) to address this matter as well as an Option 4 to maintain the status quo (i.e. no change).

Additionally, Council seeks residents’ opinion with regard to the introduction of 2 Hour parking restrictions in Shellcove Road between Billong Street and Hollowforth Avenue. Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy,

IMPORTANT NOTE: all comments received will be considered in the review of the project, however as there may be a significant number of submissions made, it is not intended to reply to individual responses.

The North Sydney Community Strategic Plan 2013-2023 identifies that improved walking and cycling connections are a key priority for the community, and feedback from the community consistently indicates that many more people will walk and cycle for transport when safer, more convenient and more attractive routes are available.

In response to this community demand, Council have prepared a concept plan for improved walking and cycling connections along Ridge Street, North Sydney (the Ridge Street Active Transport Upgrade Plan). The Plan proposes significant improvements to walking and cycling facilities such as expanded pedestrian areas, upgraded pedestrian crossings, and new separated cycling paths. The Plan further proposes to deliver these improvements as part of a comprehensive streetscape upgrade that will expand and improve public space with new landscaping and garden beds, additional street trees, new high quality paving, and public amenities such as new seating.

The improvements are proposed between Miller Street and West Street and include:

• Upgrade of two existing pedestrian crossings to substantially reduce the total crossing distances and provide access level with surrounding footpaths.
• Changes to intersections that will reduce crossing distances for pedestrians, make it easier to see to and from pedestrian crossing points and road areas, and encourage slower vehicle speeds around corners.
• An expanded pedestrian environment with large areas of new garden beds, new street trees, new areas of paving and new public facilities such as seating and bicycle parking.
• Changes to the Traffic Control Signals at the intersection between Miller Street and Ridge Street to improve pedestrian safety and provide a dedicated cycle crossing.
• A new ‘continuous footpath treatment’ at the intersection between Ridge Street and Cunningham Street, which is an area raised above road level so that pedestrian access across the intersections is level with footpaths.
• A new ‘in-lane’ bus stop catering for passenger set downs on Ridge Street and new signage allowing bus set downs and pick-ups in Miller Street.
• New bi-directional cycle path on the north side of Ridge Street that is separated from footpaths and road areas. These type of paths are demonstrated to make cycling accessible to a far broader range of people.

View the concept plan to see key features of the proposed design (in the Document Library).

The design/layout proposed is based on similar active transport/streetscape upgrade projects implemented successfully in other parts of Sydney and internationally.

Ridge Street does not need to be widened to accommodate the cycle path which fits within existing kerb lines.

The works will reduce the lane widths on Ridge Street which is expected to slow vehicle speeds and emphasise a pedestrian friendly/local road setting in Ridge Street. The lanes and layout have been designed with reference to relevant guidelines and standards.

The proposal has minimal impact on car parking provision in Ridge Street. The number of on-street car parking spaces is unchanged. The location of some spaces will change slightly to allow the works to take place. One loading zone space is proposed to be removed to ensure that set-backs to the traffic control signals on Miller Street are consistent with current standards/requirements for safe road operation.

Public Consultation – Warung Street, Mcmahons Point - Proposed Parking Changes in Area 7

Council has received correspondence from residents concerned about the availability of on-street parking for residents in Warung Street. Before taking this to the Traffic Committee, Council wishes to survey the residents in the area to ascertain if there is support to propose 2-hour parking restrictions with permit holder’s exemption on southern side of Warung Street.

The use of 2-hour parking restrictions will prevent the long-term parking of commuters and businesses while still providing some flexibility for local residents and their visitors. Please note however under Council’s Resident Parking Policy some residents may not be eligible for a permit and there is a cost in obtaining a permit.

Read Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy, including eligibility and fees, or by contacting Customer Service on 9936 8100.

The purpose of the survey is to determine if the majority of the residents wish to retain the existing unrestricted parking or introduce 2-hour parking restrictions in Warung Street.
