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

Council recently implemented a contraflow bicycle lane along the northern side of Bream Street, between Arden Street and Beach Street. Some Beach Street motorists, turning in to Bream Street, are crossing the double centre lines and drive within part of the contraflow lane.
Accordingly, it is proposed that Turn Lines (T1) be installed in lieu of the existing 3m dividing (barrier) lines (two-way) to direct motorists away from cyclists travelling down the contraflow lane.
|
That:
1. The existing dividing (barrier) lines (two-way) and retro-reflective raised pavement markers (RRPM) on Beach Street, leading north away from Bream Street, be reduced in length by 3 metres as shown in design;
2. Turn line (T1) from existing dividing (barrier) line (two-way) on Beach Street to existing dividing (barrier) line on the northern side of Bream Street be installed, as shown in proposed design; and
3. The edge line (E1) on the southern side of Bream Street near Beach Street intersection, be relocated 5.4m west from its current position.

As reported to the June Traffic Committee meeting last year, Randwick Council has been working with the Centennial Park Trust and Waverley Council on a project to establish new walking and bike riding paths along the southern edge of Queens Park. This project proposes new sections of footpath and a separated cycleway. This project will significantly improve safety for children, pedestrians, bike riders, and motorists along Darley Road, between Carrington and York Roads.
Design funding was received from
Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) under their Active Transport Program. It is
being undertaken collaboratively with Waverley Council, and Centennial Park and
Moore Park Trust.
Details of this project can be seen at this website:
https://www.centennialparklands.com.au/About-us/Parklands-Projects/Queens-Park-Cycleway-Project
Detailed plans of the proposal have been provided to the Voting Members of the Traffic Committee.
|
That the proposed bike path and pedestrian paths, including relevant signage and linemarking (as indicated upon the detailed plans) are approved for installation.

Yes |
Concerns have been raised about the volume and speed of motorists travelling along Menin Road, Matraville, south of Finucane Street. To ascertain the extent of the speeding issue a traffic survey was commissioned in May 2020, for a seven day period. The results of the survey are shown below:

From the above data it shows that the northbound and southbound speeds for Menin Road are very low.
Therefore, no action is deemed necessary, at this time.
|
That:
1. The results of the traffic survey for Menin Road, Matraville, undertaken in May 2020, be noted; and
2. The person raising concerns about this matter be informed of the results.

Wombat Crossing |

Yes |
An upgrade of the existing school crossing in Moverly Road (just east of Ian Street) to a ‘Wombat Crossing’, has previously been approved by the Traffic Committee. However, due to the upcoming relocation of the school’s main driveway, Lycée Condorcet the International French School of Sydney, has applied to the Council for the relocation of the existing pedestrian facility.
The school has asked that this facility be relocated to the adjacent intersection of Moverly Road and Benvenue Street, in order to reduce significantly the pedestrian / vehicle conflict at their new main driveway.
Details of the proposed relocation will be tabled during the Traffic Committee meeting.
|
That the Traffic Committee consider the relocation of the Moverly Road pedestrian facility, from just east of the Ian Street intersection, to a position just east of the Benvenue Street intersection.

Construction sites often involve the use of trucks, cranes and other large vehicles. Without special parking provision, the positioning of such vehicles, close to these sites, can cause significant problems for local residents or businesses. It is for this reason that the Council requires the creation of Works Zones at construction sites. Once the project is completed the Works Zone is removed.
(NB: Due to the recent economic downturn associated with the global pandemic of coronavirus (COVID-19), Randwick City Council has received a number of requests from Works Zone applicants to suspend their Works Zone, until they are able to resume normal construction activities. In the table below Works Zones subject to such a temporary suspension are highlighted with the following notation: *Suspended due to special request.)
Accordingly, it is recommended that Works Zones be installed, or removed, at the locations detailed within the following table:

The following standard conditions may be referenced with regard to the installation of the Works Zones:
That:

b. The Council be given authority to replace the Works Zone with a No Stopping zone if the operator (or their sub-contractors):
i. compromise pedestrian safety, or
ii. add significantly to traffic congestion in this area, or
iii. allow access/egress to/from the site which creates safety concerns or traffic flow delays, or
iv. does not ensure that the Council fees payable for this private use of the public road are met,
with the zone being reinstalled once the issue of concern is properly addressed;
c. The Council Rangers enforce the restriction; and
d. Authority be given to the Council to remove the Works Zone and reinstate the previous restrictions, when the applicant advises that it is no longer required.
|

The Council regularly receives requests for action to be taken with regard to vehicles being parked illegally at intersections. Such vehicles block sightlines to and from vulnerable pedestrians or bike riders. They can also obscure motorists’ views of approaching vehicles, and, they can create difficulties for fire engines, garbage trucks or other large service vehicles which need to access the neighbourhood.
To ensure compliance with the legally mandated parking prohibitions at intersections, it is recommended that No Stopping signage be installed as per the following table:
