Regulatory Matters
Report No. 6.1 Mullumbimby Lane ways
File No: I2024/1143
This report is to propose new parking signage and line marking on McGoughans Lane and Studal Lane to prevent illegal parking in these laneways and minimise congestion on Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby. The proposed changes also aim to improve the safety of residents, businesses, workers, emergency services, Council Staff and other road users.
Information/Background:
Council has received ongoing complaints from customers, businesses and staff in relation to the laneways running north and south of Burringbar Street. Burringbar Street is the main street of Mullumbimby and experiences high traffic volumes and has a speed limit of 30kph due to its high pedestrian activity.
There are already No Stopping signs in place in these laneways but they are ignored by drivers.
Vehicles parking in these narrow laneways put a strain on Burringbar Street, with a build-up of traffic reaching back to Station Street. It also makes it impossible for delivery vehicles, garbage trucks and emergency service vehicles to access.
Installing new signs and new line marking will permit Council’s Parking Officers to enforce the parking restrictions, even if signs are vandalised or damaged. Noting that vandalism of parking signage has occurred in other areas of Mullumbimby.
It is anticipated that Council enforcement officers and also Police officers would use their discretion when enforcing this signage.
On 10 September 2024, Parking Officers visited shop managers/owners along Burringbar Street to discuss this proposal. All businesses were positive and supportive of the proposed changes as their major complaint is that customers are parking in the laneways and shopping elsewhere along Burringbar Street, impeding deliveries to their businesses.
Recommendation:
Installation of No Stopping signs and yellow line marking on McGoughans Lane and Studal Lane.
Yellow line marking around the garden beds where the laneways meet Burringbar Street.
See Figure 1 below for locations.
See Figure 2 for an example of the signage type.
The proposed signage would replace existing in the same location.

RECOMMENDATION:
That the Local Traffic Committee support installation of “No Stopping” signage and line marking on McGoughans Lane and Studal Lane and “No Stopping” line marking where the laneways meet Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby.
