INFORMATION SHEET
Attending Traffic Committee Meetings
January 2015
The North Sydney Traffic Committee is not a Committee of North Sydney Council, but a Committee set up as a requirement of Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). Council has been delegated certain powers from RMS 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. There are four permanent members of the Traffic Committee, each of whom has a single vote only. The members are:
1. NSW Police 2. Roads and Maritimes Services 3. State Member of Parliament (for the location of the issue to be voted upon) 4. North Sydney Council
Council operates its Traffic Committee on the basis that the single Council vote, upon any issue, is determined by the majority vote among those Councillors present at the meeting. Generally, the Mayor chairs Traffic Committee meetings; however, in the Mayor's absence it is customary for a pre-elected Councillor to take the chair. Traffic Committee meetings are held on Fridays. Meeting agendas and reports are published on Council's website on the Wednesday before the meeting. Council allows the members of the public to attend and speak at Traffic Committee meetings. Members of the public gallery are requested to switch off mobile phones for the duration of the meeting. Individuals or groups wishing to address the Traffic Committee on a particular item, must register to speak before 5pm on the day prior to the meeting (Thursdays) by contacting Council’s Traffic Planning Assistant on 9936 8244, or by notifying the officer outside the meeting venue between 9.40am and 9.55am. Such items will then be brought forward, in agenda order, and dealt with before items in which there is no interest from the public gallery. As the Chairperson calls the brought forward items on the agenda, speakers are invited to stand at the Committee table. The following points should be noted by members of the public wishing to address the Traffic Committee:
Addresses must relate to an item on the agenda;
Attending Traff ic Committee Meetings Page 3
January 2015
Addresses should be limited to three (3) minutes, with a possible extension of time at the discretion of the Chairperson;
Addresses should be made to "Mayor, Councillors and Committee Members"; If you have previously addressed the Traffic Committee on the subject then any
further address must be made to present new information ONLY; Groups, or persons wishing to present similar points of view, should nominate a
spokesperson - not address the Traffic Committee individually; and Having made your address and answered any questions put to you by the Committee,
you may take no further part in the debate. All questions and comments are to be addressed through the Chairperson who will indicate who is to speak next. When all representations have been heard, the Traffic Committee will be asked by the Chairperson for a resolution to determine the matter whilst the interested parties are present at the table. After the Traffic Committee has made its determination, the Chairperson will ask speakers to resume their seats in the gallery and the same process will be repeated for subsequent items. All Traffic Committee resolutions are referred to the full Council for their approval. The recommendation sent to the full Council is the recommendation that has the majority vote of the four permanent members of the Traffic Committee. If Council wishes to proceed contrary to the majority vote, the RMS and Police have the right to appeal Council's decision before the Regional Traffic Committee. Council must notify the RMS and the Police and give them 14 days to decide whether they propose to lodge an appeal on the matter in question. Any action relative to any issue under appeal to the Regional Committee must then 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. For more information regarding Conduct at Traffic Committee meetings refer to Council’s Code of Meeting Principles and Practices available from Council’s website or contact Council’s Governance and Committee Services Manager on 9936 8154.

subject to concurrence of Roads and Maritime Services, the NSW Police and
the local State Members.

Report of Manager Traffic and Transport Operations, Michaela Kemp

4. (4.3) Hume Street, Crows Nest – Road Closure
Report of Manager Traffic & Transport Operations, Michaela Kemp
The 2012 St Leonards/Crows Nest Planning Study - Precinct 1 identified the
need to provide more open space for the growing residential and commercial
population in the St Leonards area and proposed that Hume Street Park be
expanded. The Planning Study recommended closure of Hume Street in order
to achieve this. At its meeting on 18 May 2015, North Sydney Council
resolved to exhibit the draft Hume Street Park Concept Design Options. Three
draft concept design options were prepared. Consistent with that planning
study, the three concept design options all involve the partial closure of Hume
Street and the creation of a new urban plaza and link to Willoughby Road.
Following public exhibition of the Hume Street Park Concept Design Options,
Council adopted Concept Option 3 as its preferred option at the Council
meeting on 21 September 2015. It is proposed to close Hume Street to
vehicular traffic to enable the expansion of Hume Street Park that was
identified in the 2012 St Leonards/ Crows Nest Planning Study and Concept
Option 3. Council requires RMS approval of a Traffic Management Plan
before a road can be closed. This report deals with the proposed closure of
Hume Street to vehicular traffic and the traffic management plan.
Recommending:
1. THAT Council approve the closure of Hume Street to vehicular traffic as per
the attached concept plan, subject to RMS concurrence of the Traffic
Management Plan.
505th Traffic Committee – 14/10/16 Page No 6
2. THAT Council replace 24 lineal metres of No Parking on the southern side
of Albany Street, to the west of Hume Street with either metered parking or
loading zone, depending on the local requirements at the time, in conjunction
with the closure of Hume Street.
3. THAT it be noted that the road closure may be subject to easements for
access for emergency vehicles and public utilities, which will be further
examined as part of the formal road closure process.
5. (4.4) Falcon Street Shared User Path - Minor Amendments
Report of Sustainable Transport Projects Coordinator, Lindsay Menday
This report seeks Traffic Committee endorsement for minor amendments to the
existing Shared User Path on the south side of Falcon Street, North Sydney, near
to the intersection with the Warringah Freeway off-ramps.
The amendments proposed include widening an existing kerb ramp, and a minor
kerb realignment. The intention of the works is to provide increased circulation
space and greater separation from the road for people using the path.
The relocation of the Traffic Control Signal pole shown on the attached plans is
not proposed as part of these works. It is anticipated that these works would not
have a discernable impact on vehicles using Falcon Street.
Recommending:
1. THAT Council construct the proposed minor amendments to the Falcon
Street Shared User Path subject to funding availability.
