Report No. 6.4 Event - Chincogan Walk and Charge 2022 File No: I2022/69
|
SUMMARY Council has received an application for the Chincogan Charge 2022 to be held on Saturday 17 September 2022. In addition to this, the organisers would like to hold a Chincogan Walk family / social activity in late March / early April 2022, with the same footprint as the Charge. BACKGROUND For the 2022 event the organisers are proposing to follow the same course as 2020 (the 2021 event was cancelled due to COVID) with runners starting and finishing near Mullumbimby Police Station. The road course will require actions to control traffic and the implementation of prescribed traffic control devices such as No Parking signs to control vehicles. 500 participants are expected. While the organisers have not yet submitted a 2022 TMP and TGS the image below shows the expected impact on roads. This image is taken from the attached 2020 TGS. The blue line indicates the approximate running path within the road reserve and the following major impacts are planned: · Dalley Street, between the Post Office and the Civic Hall is expected to be closed between 12.30-5.30pm · Mullwillumbah Road, at Federation Bridge to Main Arm Rd to be controlled by traffic controllers. The South bound lane will be used for contraflow traffic controlled by Traffic Controllers. Traffic will be allowed to access Main Arm Road in-between competitors. Traffic will be controlled at this point between 12.35-5.30pm · Coolamon Scenic Drive from Main Arm Rd to 1913 Coolamon Scenic Drive. The South bound lane will be used for contraflow traffic controlled by Traffic Controllers. Traffic will be allowed to access Main Arm Road in-between competitors. Traffic will be controlled at this point between 12.40-5.30pm · Once competitors cross the finish line they will move onto the footpath and head to the Mullumbimby Civic Memorial Hall for the presentation. · The race itself is expected to finish at 4pm with presentations from 4-5.30pm.

Report No. 7.1 Speed Zone Reviews File No: I2022/39
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The purpose of this report is to present known speed zone requests for LTC comment. Below is a table summarising known speed zone reviews raised with TfNSW since the last speed zone review updated provided to LTC.
Outcome of McAuleys Lane Speed Zone Review Transport for NSW completed the Speed Zone Review at McAuleys Lane and it was decided not to change the default speed limit of 100km/h. The reason provided for this was a follows: Vehicle speeds through the winding sections of McAuleys Lane are self-regulating and installing speed limit signs may encourage speeds that are not appropriate for the road alignment. It is recommended that the default 100 km/h speed limit be retained and signposted with ‘END’ speed limit signs with ‘Reduce Speed to Conditions’ signs at both ends of McAuleys Lane. TfNSW have requested that Council undertake a delineation review of the full length of McAuleys Lane. Some examples of suggested changes include: · Removal of old ‘derestricted‘ signs (R4-2) at the western end of the road for eastbound drivers as these signs are no longer an approved speed limit sign. They should be replaced with an ‘End 80’ signs followed by ‘Reduce Speed to Conditions’ signs. · Guideposts installation to be reviewed. · Concealed Driveway signs need to be replaced with Caution Driveway (W2-206) signs. · Consideration be given to installing a Give Way treatment on approach to the one-lane bridge in accordance with AS1742.2 with a recommendation to paint the kerb on the bridge white and replace the existing reflectors on the bridge Thrie beam. · Regularly maintain the vegetation along McAuleys Lane which will assist in providing additional room on the shoulders, improve sight lines through curves and will also assist in defining the location of driveways. · Investigate treatments to improve safety through the one-way section of McAuleys Lane. Council staff will now undertake a full delineation review as requested and seek funds from TfNSW to implement the required changes. TfNSW have also been in communication with a resident who raised concerns about McAuleys Lane. Now the Speed Zone Review is complete TfNSW will refer this customer to Council to address the other issues identified.
