Local Traffic Committee Meeting 6.4
Report No. 6.4 Request for No Stopping - Rural Fire Service Station, Gordon St, Mullumbimby
File No: I2016/509
The Mullumbimby Rural Fire Brigade has suffered from continuous parking issues in Gordon Street, Mullumbimby particularly during festivals and now more often with the increased business’s in Gordon Street.
|
Police do not have the ability to clear the driveway as there are no designated parking signs.
So therefore the emergency service’s quick response is greatly reduced as members can not park three vehicles near the station and get fire appliances out of storage. |
|
To resolve this issue we recommend a 15m wide “No Parking” and “Authorised vehicles only” zone covering the driveway to the Rural Fire Service Station.
|
RECOMMENDATION: 1. That “No Parking – Authorised Vehicles Excepted” be signed on Gordon Street, Mullumbimby, commencing from 0 m to 15 m covering the Mullumbimby Rural Fire Service Station Driveway
2. That RFS Mullumbimby be advised that RFS-authorised vehicles must be identified by displaying their standard RFS permit on the dashboard of approved vehicles. Vehicles which do not display the RFS permit will be subject to enforcement.

BACKGROUND:
Council at its meeting on 6 December 2012 made the following resolution:
Res 12-965:
1. That Council support the erection of generic tour, sightseeing and shuttle bus stop signage in Byron Bay.
2. That Council determine option A (with rounded corners) as presented in Councillor’s Background Notes as the design and type of signage to be used, though with time limits removed.

5. That the sign locations be available for use by other operators.
|
COMMENT: On Monday 18th one of Council’s Parking Enforcement Officers attended two sites of interest in the company of a Senior Constable of the NSW Police (Highway Patrol). Both of these sites were identified by NSW Police as concerning as the erection of generic tour, sightseeing and shuttle bus stop signage had occurred.
ISSUE ONE: Bay Street, Byron Bay Opposite the Beach Hotel is a sign post that contains a No Stopping & Loading Zone. Additional signage includes generic tour, sightseeing and shuttle bus stop information.
The concern raised by NSW Police was that the signage conflicts with the No Stopping & Loading Zone signage.
In addition to this there is a current designated Bus Zone in place situated a further 200 metres south along Bay Street outside of the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club. It has been suggested by NSW Police that the generic tour, sightseeing and shuttle bus stop signage be relocated to the designated Bus Stop situated outside of the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club. |
|
SOLUTION ONE: Relocate all generic tour, sightseeing and shuttle bus stop signage from the Bay Street post (Purple Circle) and relocate to the Bus Zone (Red Circle) a further 200 metres south along Bay Street outside of the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club.
|
|
|
ISSUE TWO: Lighthouse Road and Tallow Beach Road Intersection
|
|
|
There is currently a designated Bus Zone sign post near the intersection that also contains generic tour, sightseeing and shuttle bus stop signage.
The concern raised by NSW Police with this site is the signage needs to be mounted on or next to a neighbouring electricity pole. Currently there is a small area available for a small vehicle to park between the signage and a private residential |
|
|
driveway which possess a visual obstruction to any vehicles attempting to exit the private driveway on to Lighthouse Road |
|
SOLUTION TWO
Lighthouse Road Bus Signage be relocated from the blue circle (current location) to the green circle (near the power pole.
|
RECOMMENDATION: 1. That under Resolution 12-965 all generic tour, sightseeing and shuttle bus stop signage in Byron Bay can be relocated at the cost of Magic Bus Proprietor if there are safety or regulator or policy requirements.
2. Relocate all generic tour, sightseeing and shuttle bus stop signage from the Bay Street post (Purple Circle) and relocate to the Bus Zone (Red Circle) a further 200 metres south along Bay Street outside of the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club.
3. Lighthouse Road Bus Signage be relocated from the blue circle (current location) to the green circle (near the power pole.
