Mullumbimby RFS have requested Council to provide dedicated
parking for volunteers vehicles in Gordon Street, Mullumbimby, adjacent the RFS
Mullumbimby brigade building.
LTC are asked to consider if it is appropriate to provide
dedicated parking areas, with associated pavement and bitumen sealing works, for
private vehicles of volunteers within the road reserve to the exclusion of all
other road users.
BACKGROUND
Council receives regular requests from RFS Mullumbimby
volunteers to provide dedicated parking for volunteers vehicles in Gordon

indicated in the photograph below) in response to a RFS request and Council
resolution in 2016.
Authorised Vehicles are considered
to be vehicles owned and/or provided by an Authority, in this case the RFS,
clear signed and marked as a vehicle operated by the authority with associated
warning light system.
The current request is for parking
for volunteer parking (i.e. non authorised vehicles).
The Mullumbimby RFS is located in
the vicinity of the Ambulance and Mullumbimby Fire Station.

That LTC recommend Council provide dedicated
parking for volunteers private vehicles in Gordon Street at the Mullumbimby

Report No. 6.3 Request for No Stopping - 12 Browning Street, Byron Bay
File No: I2018/1586
Council’s Resource Recovery team has received a
request to restrict parking for the frontage of 12 Browning Street, Byron Bay
to better facilitate waste collection services. (Refer to blue line below.)
BACKGROUND
DA10.2016.392.1 granted development consent for 13 * 3
bedroom townhouses.
Bins for the development must be presented on Browning
Street. Subsequent to development consent being granted it has been identified
that cars parked on Browning Street in the vicinity of the development
potentially prevent waste collection trucks accessing these bins.
To provide unrestricted access to bins it is requested that
appropriate signage be installed to ensure no parking between 6pm – 8pm. These
hours are designed to coincide with existing signage and waste collection
hours.
This request is the same as a previous approval granted to
the adjoining property, 6-8 Browning Street, where LTC recommended (on April
2016) “No Stopping” for the times and days of waste services
only. In the photo shown below the “No Stopping” zone approved
in April 2016 is shown below in yellow. The blue line indicates the
approximate zone forming part of this current request.
KEY ISSUES
1. Council
currently unable to guarantee waste collection for 12 Browning St due to
potential parked cars blocking bin access.
2. LTC
approved similar request in April 2016 for 6-8 Browning St.
3. The
request requires RMS consent as Browning St is a Classified Road
COUNCIL IMPLICATIONS
§ Budget/Financial
The cost of modifying parking by
implementing new signage and line marking will require expenditure from
Council’s Resource Recovery budget.
§ Asset Management
Not Applicable
§ Policy or Regulation
Delegated
to Council for authorisation in conjunction with:-
o Actions required to control traffic – Part 8
(Sections 114 to 124) Roads Act, 1993.
o Traffic Control Devices –Part 5 (Sections 18-22) Road
Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act, 1999.
o No Stopping and No Parking Signs and Road Markings –
Division 2, NSW Road Rules 168.
|
RECOMMENDATION:
That “No Stopping” apply at the
frontage of 12 Browning Street, Byron Bay for the times and day of waste
services only.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting 6.4
Report No. 6.4 Event Road Closures - Brunswick Woodchop Twilight Markets 2018
File No: I2018/1683
SUMMARY
Council has received an application from the Brunswick
Valley Woodchop & Entertainment Committee Inc for the Twilight Markets to
be held Wednesday, 19 December 2018 and the Fireworks Night to be held
Saturday, 19 January 2019.
The application includes the Traffic Management Plan (TMP)
and Traffic Control Plan (TCP) from the 2017 event.
LTC are requested to endorse the Twilight
Markets to be held on Wednesday 19 December 2018 and the Fireworks Night to be
held on Saturday 19 January 2019, subject to specified conditions including the
provision of updated temporary traffic management and Traffic Control Plans to
Council.
BACKGROUND
The Twilight Markets continue to
be a success and bring huge crowds to Brunswick Heads. The event
organisers are requesting:
1. Closure of Mullumbimbi Street, between The Terrace and
Park Street, as follows:
a) Closure of the area bounded by the nose-in parking and
centre parking bay from 7:00am until 11:00pm. This is the u-shaped
provision for parking that is adjacent Banner Park in the vicinity of the
children's play area.
b) Two (2) temporary designated ‘Disability
Parking’ spaces outside of the hotel during the morning. The existing two
(2) spaces will be closed off.
c) Closure of the remaining section of ‘through
road’ between The Terrace and Park Street from 12:00noon until 11:00pm.
2. Opening of Memorial Park for parking, as follows:
a) Twilight markets - Wednesday, 19 December 2018 from
12:00noon. This will allow stallholders to get their vehicles off the
street before the markets start at 3pm.
b) Fireworks Night – Saturday, 19 January 2019 from
6:00pm. This will allow for people attending the carnival/housie, and
through to when the fireworks take place at 9pm, to park off the streets.
Appropriately Accredited (JHA)
staff will be requested to put out the early blockades and the temporary
designated Disability Parking signs as per the TCP. Market staff will relocate
the blockades at 12:00noon. Market staff will remove the road closed
signs and Disability Parking and store these securely with McGregor's
Amusements for collection of JHA the next day.
As in the past McGregor's
Amusement will move their ride during the night of Tuesday 18 December 2018 and
place it over the centre parking bays for erection the next afternoon. This
effectively blocks off most of the area mentioned in item 1 above and the early
road closure will ensure that vehicles are not parked indefinitely in that area
(eg patrons of the hotel) once the premises are open for business.
COUNCIL IMPLICATIONS
§ Budget/Financial
The event organisers to be
invoiced for the relevant Approval of Road Events pursuant to s144 of the Roads
Act fee as per the Fees & Charges 2018/19.

Report No. 7.2 Car Share Scheme, Byron and Mullumbimby - 12 Month Pilot
File No: I2018/1441
Overview
Council has previously endorsed a Car Share Policy and an
Expression of Interest process to determine whether a car share scheme might be
viable in Byron Bay and Mullumbimby.
The expression of interest process identified that there are
at least four (4) existing car share operators keen to establish in the
Shire. It also identified at least two key land owners who would be
willing to host car share spaces on their commercial sites.
Liaison with the operators indicates that around 10 spaces
would be required to ensure that the 12-month pilot project would be viable.
A report has been prepared for the September Council
meeting, recommending that Council endorse proceeding to the pilot, by inviting
the interested operators to apply to lease public car spaces in Byron Bay, and
spaces within Council’s car park at Station Street Mullumbimby.
At this stage, the final number of public spaces would be
subject to negotiation with the successful operator. Indicative locations
for the spaces are shown in the attached plans.
The spaces will need to be line marked and sign posted, to
be provided exclusively for the successful car share operator, who will lease
the spaces from Council. Some of the spaces will be within paid parking
areas.
The circles in red below show the preferred locations for
the bays in Byron Bay (see further details in Attachment 1). Council have
engaged the neighbours surrounding these bays to seek feedback. Bays are
also preferred in the Mullumbimby Public Car Park behind Council offices.
The circles in blue below show alternative locations for the
bays.
Attachment 1 (E2018/67288) identifies each location.
Neighbour Consultation
Neighbours (land owners and commercial residents) within
close proximity to the preferred potential bays were sent a letter and a fact
sheet and were invited to submit their feedback. The below table gives a
summary of what has been heard so far.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting 7.3
Report No. 7.3 Brunswick Heads Boat Harbour Master Plan - Traffic, Access and
Parking Options
File No: I2018/1084
SUMMARY
This report outlines the various options being considered in
developing the Brunswick Heads Boat Harbour Master Plan to manage traffic,
access and parking arrangements on the Old Pacific Highway and seeks comments,
recommendations and advice on any preferred option from the Committee
BACKGROUND
In February 2018 the Department of Industry—Lands
& Water issued a Fact Sheet outlining their Draft Master Plan for Brunswick
Boat Harbour. Following an on site meeting (May 2018) with representatives from
Crown Lands Council staff drafted a modified layout for Crown Lands to consider
addressing potential concerns relating to traffic access and parking layout.
Figure 1 presents the Draft Master Plan for
Brunswick Boat Harbour issued by the Department of Industry—Lands &
Water. Refer to attachment 1 for details relating to the DPI proposal.
Figure 2 presents Council’s proposed
modified layout submitted to Crown Lands for consideration, refer to attachment
2.
Council also assisted Crown Lands by drafting a number of
sketched options to ensure all options were to the same scale and able to be
directly compared.
Attachment 3 provides detail in respect of the
options drafted for Crown Lands in relation to access and parking in the Old
Pacific Highway corridor and attachment 4 provides Council’s
comments in relation to the redevelopment of the boat handling facilities with
particular reference to traffic management and boat parking with suggestions
for Crown Lands to consider in developing the final layout for this area.
In relation to access and parking on the Old Pacific
Highway, the primary difference between the two draft layouts is that the DPI
proposes 90 degree car parking off the traffic lane and modifies a currently
left out only exit to a entry/exit on the eastern side of the project. In
contrast, Council proposes no car parking with direct access off the Old
Pacific Highway and suggests a relocation of a new entry/exit further west from
the existing to provide for better vehicle storage for the right turn and
improved stacking within the intersection access road leg.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting 7.4
Report No. 7.4 Bangalow Primary School - Parking and Traffic Management
File No: I2018/1709
SUMMARY
This report seeks support from the LTC to amend the existing
time limited parking scheme, as required, in the vicinity of the Bangalow State
School.
BACKGROUND
The existing Bangalow State School children’s crossing
on Byron Street is not currently used by the school as the existing traffic
conditions along Byron Street are considered unsafe.
A RMS grant has been identified to fund investigations, with
the potential for additional funding for implementation. No designs have
been developed as yet, though on site discussions have occurred with Council
and RMS representatives to confirm the intent of the project which is likely to
include:
• Relocation and
formalisation of children's crossing Bangalow Road.
• Bus zone relocation,
Bangalow Road.
• Signage and delineation
improvements to Bangalow school zone.
Council installed a time limited parking scheme around the
Bangalow Village Centre this year, including the Bangalow State School area.
Project implementation will potentially impact several car
parking spaces, a bus stop zone and regulatory signage and line marking in the
vicinity of the children’s crossing. Several car spaces may need to be
deleted and / or relocated, along with associated signage. As these works will
involve direct consultation with RMS and in order to facilitate timely
implementation, LTC is requested to approve and support the envisaged
modifications as outlined above.
The figures below shows the recently installed time limited
parking scheme signage layout in the vicinity of the Bangalow State School. The
areas highlighted in yellow indicate the location off the existing unused
children’s crossing.
COUNCIL IMPLICATIONS
§ Budget/Financial
Expected costs are associated
with relocating signage and line markings.
§ Asset Management
No impact on existing
asset management requirements.
§ Policy or Regulation
Compliance to be in accordance
with NSW Road Rules, Australian Standards, Austroads and RMS Parking guidelines
§ Consultation
RMS is a significant stakeholder
who have been and will continue to be consulted as part of the pedestrian
crossing project.
§ Legal and Risk Management
No risk
assessment has been undertaken as yet as no design work has commenced for the
project..
|
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council support modifications to the
Bangalow Village Centre time limited parking scheme and regulatory signage
and line marking, in the vicinity of Bangalow State School to implement the
following changes developed in consultation with the RMS:-
1. Relocation
and formalisation of children's crossing Bangalow Road.
2. Bus
zone relocation, Bangalow Road.
3. Signage
and delineation improvements to Bangalow school zone.
