RANDWICK CITY COUNCIL TRAFFIC COMMITTEE
The following information is provided so that you may be aware of the structure and
operation of the Randwick City Traffic Committee.
The Randwick Traffic Committee is a Committee of Randwick City Council
but not one set up under the Local Government Act.
Council has been delegated certain powers, from Roads and Maritime
Services (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.
Recommendations in this document may either activate the formal
delegation from RMS to the Council, or not activate this delegation. Items
which activate the delegation are indicated with the initials (AD) below the
heading.
There are four permanent members of the Traffic Committee, each of
whom has a single vote only.
The members are: the NSW Police Service, Roads and Maritime
Services (RMS), the Local State Member of Parliament (for the
location of the issue to be voted upon) and Randwick City Council.
Randwick City Council welcomes the public to attend and speak at its
Traffic Committee on issues of concern.
If the Local Member disagrees with any of the Traffic Committee
recommendations, they may appeal to the RMS or the Minister for Roads.
If the Police or the RMS disagrees with any of the Traffic Committee
recommendations, or Council’s resolution on any Traffic Committee
recommendation, they may lodge an appeal with the Sydney Regional
Traffic Committee for determination. The appeal must be lodged in writing
within 14 days of the notification to the members of Council’s decision on
the recommendation.
Any action relative to any issue under appeal must 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.

4. Items for Consideration
At this time the Chair will ask those present at the meeting to nominate those items
about which they would like some discussion or elaboration.
The Recommendations on all other items, not so nominated, will be considered as
being endorsed by the Committee.
4.1 COWPER STREET, RANDWICK (C) Road Safety - Speeding
(D02289581-LM) (AD)
Community consultation was carried out in 2014, following resident requests to review
the speed limit on Cowper Street from 60km/h to 50 km/h, between Alison Road and
Avoca Street. The posted speed limit is currently 60km/h and 40km/h during school
zone times.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 9 JUNE 2015
MINUTES 3
Traffic speed, classification and volume counts have subsequently been undertaken in
May 2015 to determine the extent of the matter. The survey results are summarised in
the following table and plan.
Speed & Traffic Data for Cowper Street, Randwick
Data Site 1985 Site 1986 Site 1987
Eastbound Westbound Eastbound Westbound Eastbound Westbound

Seven day AADT 4,211 4,490 4,344 4,638 5,360 5,307
The survey data highlights that the 85th percentile speeds ranges from 48km/h to
52km/h in both directions. This would suggest that a lower posted speed of 50km/h
may be more appropriate in Cowper Street than the current 60km/h limit.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That a review of the speed limit on Cowper Street, Randwick, be undertaken, in
consultation with RMS, with the aim to improve clarity and maximise road safety.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 9 JUNE 2015

4.2 DANGAR STREET, RANDWICK (C) Road Safety- Speed and Volume
(D02357670-DA)(AD)
Concerns were raised regarding the speeding of vehicles in Dangar Street, Randwick,
in the vicinity of 7 Dangar Street, Randwick. Subsequently, speed and traffic counts
were undertaken for a seven day period (between 8 May 2015 to 14 May 2015) to
determine the extent of the speeding issue. The results of the counts are shown in the
following table:
Speed Data for Dangar Street, Randwick
The gathered data shows that the average daily traffic flow in Dangar Street is 2754
vehicles/day which is considered acceptable in an urban setting.
Further analysis of the traffic and speed data reveals that the 50th percentile speed for
southbound and northbound traffic in Dangar Street is 44 km/h and 45km/h. The 85th
percentile speed for both southbound and northbound traffic is 54 km/h. For the
southbound traffic it reveals that 23.1% of vehicles are travelling over 50km/h speed
limit and for northbound traffic 24.2% of vehicles are travelling over 50km/h which
seems excessive.
It is considered appropriate that the speed data be forwarded to NSW Highway Patrol
for appropriate action.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That, the Dangar Street, Randwick, speed count data be forwarded to NSW Highway
Patrol Police for appropriate action.
4.3 DOLPHIN STREET, COOGEE (C) Road Safety - Speeding
(D02287617-LM) (AD)
Concerns have been raised by a resident regarding incidences of vehicles speeding
along Dolphin Street, Coogee, between Carrington Road and Mount Street. The posted
speed limit at this location is 50km/h.
Traffic speed, classification and volume counts have subsequently been undertaken to
determine the extent of the matter. The survey results are summarised in the
following table and include data from a survey carried out in May 2011 and are

Five day AADT 2,052 2,123 1,976 1,288
Seven day AADT 2,056 2,140 2,089 1,317
The survey data highlights that the 85th percentile speeds have reduced since 2011 in
both the eastbound and westbound directions. Given that the speed and volume
results are low, it is considered appropriate to forward the speed data to NSW Highway
Patrol, at this time.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the Council forward the recent traffic count data for Dolphin Street, Coogee, to
the local Highway Patrol, so that the Police may take appropriate action.
4.4 DUTRUC STREET, RANDWICK (C) Line Marking - Stop lines
(D02285883-DP)(AD)
A resident has raised concerns with the speed at which vehicles are approaching Alison
Road whilst travelling downhill on Dutruc Street.
A traffic and speed count was carried out for 7 days from 1 May 2015.The summary is
as follows:
Dutruc Street, north of Rae Street, Randwick Outside No. 23A
Speed Limit 50km/h North South Combined
Weekly 50th %tile speed 39 40 39
Weekly 85th %tile speed 48 48 48
Five Day AADT 1005 896 1900
Seven Day AADT 940 834 1774
The data suggests that vehicles are obeying the posted limit, although their inertia
considering the road’s gradient may be resulting in aggressive breaking at the
intersection of Dutruc Street and Alison Road.
Changing the priority of the intersection with Dutruc Street and Rae Street, giving
priority to Rae Street will force vehicles traveling along Dutruc Street to stop at the
intersection, which is 100m from the intersection with Alison Road, further down the
hill.
The relatively slow speed of vehicles in advance of the Dutruc Street intersection,
would suggest that the unavoidable risks associated with changing priorities would be
minimal, especially with the installation of advance warning signs/changed priority
signs.
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 9 JUNE 2015
MINUTES 7
Councillor Kathy Neilson requested that the matter be deferred pending further
analysis of the impacts that the intersection priority change may create.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the matter be deferred to a future Traffic Committee meeting.
4.5 ELIZABETH STREET, RANDWICK (C) Signage, Parking – Works Zone
(D02346272-DA) (AD)
The Council has received an application for the installation of a 34 metre long Works
Zone to be located along the eastern side of Elizabeth Street, Randwick, for 12-14
Belmore Road, which is south of Alison Road. The Works Zone is required for
approximately three months in order to facilitate construction works. The section of
road is currently “½P, 8:30am-6:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:30am-12:30pm, Sat” parking
restrictions.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 34m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-5:00pm Sat, be
installed on the eastern side of Elizabeth Street, Randwick, starting at a point
10m south of Alison Road;
2. The ½P parking restrictions be reinstated once the works zone is being
cancelled; and
3. The Standard Works Zone Conditions in Item 7 are applied.
4.6 GOODWOOD STREET, KENSINGTON (C) Signage, Parking – Works Zone
(D02379536-DA) (AD)
The Council has received an application for the installation of a 29 metre long Works
Zone to be located along the northern side of Goodwood Street, Kensington, for 84-
108 Anzac Parade development. The Works Zone is required for approximately 18
months in order to facilitate construction works. The section of Goodwood Street has
currently “1P, 8:30am-6:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:30am-12:30pm, Sat” parking restrictions.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 29m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-5:00pm Sat, be
installed on the northern side of Goodwood Street, at the side frontage of 84-

4.7 HODGSON STREET, RANDWICK (C) Signage, Parking - No Parking
(D02339769-DP) (AD)
Hodgson Street is a 6m wide cul-de-sac without a formal turning area. The northern
side has a no stopping restriction along its length, with unrestricted parking on the
southern side up to the end of the road.
The resident of the property at the end has difficulty turning their vehicle around when
cars park adjacent to their property.
In order to provide a nominal turning area at the end of Hodgson Street it is proposed
to install a 10.5m “No Parking” restriction on the southern side of Hodgson Street
commencing at the western end of the street and terminating 10.5m to the east.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the following parking restrictions are approved for the southern side Hodgson
Street, Randwick:
Hodgson Street, Randwick,

4.8 KEMMIS STREET, RANDWICK (C) Traffic Device – Intersection adjustment
(ITD-RR)
At the October 2007 meeting of the Traffic Committee (Item 2007.10.04.07), it was
recommended that the intersection of Kemmis Street and Clovelly Road be adjusted to
reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians and the turning speed of vehicles.
A detailed design of the intersection adjustment has been finalised. A pedestrian
refuge to RMS specification could not be accommodated due to the existing driveways.
As such the design has been revised to square the intersection of Kemmis Street with
Clovelly Road, thereby reducing the crossing distance for pedestrians by approximately
9 metres. The revised intersection layout will also reduce the turning speeds of
vehicles entering and exiting the street.
It is anticipated that construction of the intersection will be undertaken in the
2015/2016 financial year. A copy of the design plan is attached. A full-size A3 plan
will be available at the meeting.

Mr Eric Graham (STA) requested clarification regarding the median treatment and if
buses could traverse over, if needed. Mr Rosadi advised that the median treatment
was in paint and the rumble bars could be traversed by a bus, if needed.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the intersection changes at Kemmis Street and Clovelly Road, as outlined in the
enclosed plan, be approved.
4.9 MOUNT STREET, COOGEE (C) Signage, Parking – Works Zone
(D02336971-DA) (AD)
The Council has received an application for the installation of a 13 metre long Works
Zone to be located along the western side of Mount Street, Coogee, for 72-74 Mount
Street. The Works Zone is required for approximately nine months in order to facilitate
construction works. The section of road is currently “2P, 8:00am-8:00pm, Permits
Holders Excepted, Area CO2” parking restrictions.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 13m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-5:00pm Sat, be installed
on the western side of Mount Street, Coogee, at the frontage of 72-74 Mount
Street, Coogee;
2. The 2P parking restrictions be reinstated once the works zone is being cancelled;
and
3. The Standard Works Zone Conditions in Item 7 are applied.
4.10 NORTON STREET, KINGSFORD (C) Signage, Parking - Works Zone
(D02374125-DA) (AD)
The Council has received an application for the installation of a 12 metre long Works
Zone to be located along the northern side of Norton Street, for 44 Botany Street,
Kingsford property. The Works Zone is required for approximately three months to
facilitate construction works. Currently there is unrestricted parking on the northern
side of Norton Street west of Botany Street, Kingsford.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 12m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-5:00pm Sat, be
installed on the northern side of Norton Street, Kingsford, at the side frontage

4.11 PEROUSE ROAD, RANDWICK (C) Road Safety - Speeding
(D02313429-LM) (AD)
Concerns have been raised by a resident regarding incidences of vehicles speeding
along Perouse Road, Randwick, between Cuthill Street and Oberon Street. The posted
speed limit at this location is 50km/h.
Traffic speed, classification and volume counts have subsequently been undertaken to
determine the extent of the matter. The survey results are summarised in the
following table and include data from a survey carried out in May 2005 and are
included in the table for comparison:
Speed & Traffic Data for Perouse Road, Randwick
Data Southbound Northbound
2005 2015 2005 2015
Weekly 50th%ile speed (km/h) 42 47 42 49
Weekly 85th%ile speed (km/h) 57 56 57 58
Five day AADT 2,569 2,411 2,320 2,075
Seven day AADT 2,512 2,307 2,281 1,994
The survey data highlights that the 85th percentile speeds have remained constant
since 2005 in both the southbound and northbound directions. Given that the speed
and volume results are low, referral to the NSW Highway Patrol is considered
appropriate, at this time.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the Council forward the recent traffic count data for Perouse Road, Randwick, to
the local Highway Patrol, so that the Police may take appropriate action.
4.12 STANLEY STREET, RANDWICK (C) Signage, Parking – Bus Zone
(D02356123-TL) (AD)
The Council has received an application for a 19 metre westerly extension of the
existing school hours Bus Zone existing on the north side of Stanley Street, west of
Avoca Street, Randwick.
The Emanuel School has requested this extension as there have been a number of
occasions when the 659, 660 and 677 school special bus services have arrived at the
same time. This has resulted in some double parking of buses, creating a traffic
congestion and perceived road safety problem.
The concern with the school’s request is that an extension of the bus stop reduces the
length of No Parking (school times) zone which was provided for student pick up and
drop off. This may result in extended “parent” queuing affecting both Stanley Street
and Chepstow Street – with similar congestion and possible road safety impacts.
It is suggested that this matter be further investigated by way of site observations and
discussions with the school. However, it is considered appropriate to authorise the
Traffic Committee’s Technical Sub-Committee (Council’s manager Integrated
Transport, the Police representative and the RMS representative) to approve any
RANDWICK TRAFFIC COMMITTEE 9 JUNE 2015
MINUTES 13
alteration agreed upon – so that it may be effected more efficiently. Any such parking
changes authorised would be reported at a subsequent meeting of this Committee.
Mr Eric Graham (STA) advised the Committee that he previously met with the school
and he requested that the school write to STA, in the first instance, to seek extension
of the bus zone, as per the Committee item. STA are in favour of the extension and
Mr Graham requested if he could be invited to the site meeting.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. The matter of possibly extending the existing Stanley Street school times Bus
Zone be further investigated by way of a site meeting with the school, Traffic
Committee Technical Sub-Committee, and the STA representative; and
2. the Traffic Committee’s Technical Sub-Committee (Council’s Manager
Integrated Transport, the Police representative and the RMS representative ) be
authorised to approve any alteration agreed upon at the site meeting – so that
it may be effected more efficiently; with any such parking changes decided
upon being reported upon at a subsequent meeting of this Committee.
4.13 BUNNERONG ROAD, MAROUBRA (M) Signage, Parking – Works Zone
(D02355880-DA) (AD
Notwithstanding the fact that Bunnerong Road, Matraville, is a State Road, under the
care and control of the Roads and Maritime Services, it is considered that the following
matter should be discussed at Traffic Committee prior to a formal request being placed
before the Authority. It is noted that the RMS representative will be unable to
endorse, on behalf of the RMS, any recommendation arising out of this item.
The Council has received an application for the installation of a 15 metre long Works
Zone to be located along the eastern side of Bunnerong Road, at the frontage of 309-
311 Bunnerong Road, Maroubra. The Works Zone is required for approximately twelve
months to facilitate construction works. Currently there is 2 hour parking restrictions
at the frontage of the proposed development site.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A 15m Works Zone, 7:00am–5:00pm, Mon-Fri, 8:00am-5:00pm Sat, be
installed on the eastern side of Bunnerong Road, at the frontage of 309-311
Bunnerong Road, Maroubra;
2. The applicant to obtain a Road Occupancy License from the Traffic Management
Centre of the Roads and Maritime Services prior to the installation of the works
zone;
3. The Council will be responsible for the installation and removal of the Works
Zone signs; and
4. The Standard Works Zone Conditions in Item 7 are applied.

4.14 MALABAR ROAD, MAROUBRA (M)
Signage, Parking - No Parking
(D02315552-RR) (AD)
At the February 2015 meeting of Traffic Committee, the matter of parking in the
section of Malabar Road south of Beauchamp Road was considered (item
2015.02.04.20) with the Committee recommending that:
1. An E1 edgeline be installed on the western side of Malabar Road
commencing at the existing ‘No Parking’ opposite the common property
boundary of No.685 and No.687 Malabar road and extending 77m south
towards the cul-de-sac of Malabar Road.
2. An E1 edgeline be installed on the eastern side of Malabar Road
commencing at the existing ‘No Parking’ immediately north of the
driveway of No.687 Malabar Road and extending 66m south towards the
cul-de-sac of Malabar Road.
Subsequent to the Committee recommendation Council has been contacted by
residents of this section of Malabar Road requesting that parking be restricted to one
side of the road from the commencement of the cul-de-sac to the existing parking
controls adjacent to no. 687.
Residents of Malabar Road were again surveyed to ascertain their views on the
introduction of parking restrictions on the western side of Malabar Road from the cul-
de-sac to the existing parking controls. The results are summarised below:
Residents in favour of No Parking on the western side 5
Residents not in favour of No Parking on the western side 5
Residents in favour of No Parking on the eastern side 8
The results show that of the responses received, the majority support the introduction
of a No Parking control on one side of the road. Of the responses received supporting
No Parking controls, the preference is for the No Parking to be installed on the eastern
side.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That:
1. A No Parking control be installed on the eastern side of Malabar Road,
commencing at the existing parking controls adjacent to no. 687 to the
commencement of the cul-de-sac, and;
2. Residents be advised of the results of the survey and the Traffic Committee
recommendation.

4.15 SNAPE STREET, MAROUBRA (M) Road safety- Speed and volume
(D02357666-DA) (AD)
Concerns were raised regarding the speeding of vehicles in Snape Street, Maroubra, in
the vicinity of 15 Snape Street, Maroubra. Subsequently, speed and traffic counts were
undertaken for a seven day period (between 8 May 2015 to 14 May 2015) to
determine the extent of the speeding issue. The results of the counts are shown in the
following table:
Speed Data for Snape Street, Maroubra
The gathered data shows that the average daily traffic flow in Snape Street is 5214
vehicles/day which is considered acceptable in an urban setting.
Further analysis of the traffic and speed data reveals that the 50th percentile speed for
eastbound and westbound traffic in Snape Street is 53 km/h and 54km/h. The 85th
percentile speed for eastbound and westbound traffic is 53 km/h and 54km/h. For the
eastbound traffic it reveals that 19.8% of vehicles are travelling over 50km/h speed
limit and for westbound traffic 21.9% of vehicles are travelling over 50km/h which
seems excessive.
It is considered appropriate that the speed data be forwarded to NSW Highway Patrol
for appropriate action.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That the Snape Street, Maroubra, speed count data be forwarded to NSW Highway
Patrol for appropriate action.
4.16 SNAPE STREET, KINGSFORD (M) Signage, Parking - Mobility Impaired Person’s Parking Space (MIPPS)
(D02284352-RR) (AD)
At the March 2015 meeting of the Traffic Committee consideration was given to the
installation of a MIPPS adjacent to 16 Snape Street, Kingsford (Item 2015.03.04.13).
The matter was deferred at the request of the NSW Police pending further information
of the license status of the applicant.
The applicant has since provided additional information to the satisfaction of the NSW
Police. It is therefore recommended that the MIPPS be installed.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That a 5 metre MIPPS be installed in Snape Street, Kingsford, adjacent to no.16.

The following Minor Signage matters are listed for the Committee’s consideration.
No Location Issue Request Recommend Approval?
Comments
5. 1
Coogee Bay Road, COOGEE (C) (D02354505-DA)(AD)
Remove the 12m long works zone from outside the frontage of 235 Coogee Bay Road, Coogee, and reinstate previous ½P parking
controls.
Yes
The applicant does no longer require the Works Zone.
5. 2
Dolphin Street, COOGEEE (C) (D02384567-DP) (AD)
The two Coogee Beach car parks
have different hours when the paid parking controls apply. This has caused some confusion for
some visitors. The beachside car park has paid parking controls from 8am – 8pm. The car park adjacent to Coogee Oval has paid parking controls from 8am – 10pm. Given the recent increase
in early evening use of the beachside car park, and for consistency with the other car park, it is proposed to align the paid parking times of the two car parks.
Yes
That the paid parking controls in the Coogee beachside car park be adjusted so that they
apply from 8am-10pm.
5. 3
Botany Street,
KINGSFORD (M) (D02350567-DA) (AD)

(ITD-RR) (AD)
Mr Lehmann enquired of the Police of the recently reported collision in Anzac Parade,
involving a police vehicle.
Sgt Withers informed the Committee that the Police have released a media statement
on the matter. Following is an extract from that media statement:
“Descriptions have been released of two people who police believe can assist with their investigations after a stolen car hit a police vehicle at Matraville this morning.
Three police officers from Eastern Beaches Local Area Command were taken to Prince Of Wales Hospital after their fully-marked sedan was struck from behind by a stolen Mitsubishi Lancer on Anzac Parade at Matraville.
Shortly before the crash, police from Botany Bay Local Area Command had seen the Lancer, which had been reported stolen, in Loop Road, La Perouse, about
12.25am (Sunday 8 June 2015). The Eastern Beaches car was rolled onto its side on impact; the Lancer ended up on its roof. A man and woman travelling in the Lancer were assisted from the car by police;
however, they ran from the scene. Three police officers were taken to hospital; one was treated and released this morning, the remaining two have been kept for observation.”
Mr Lehmann informed the Committee that, following this most recent incident, there
have been strong views expressed in the community that action needs to be taken to
address the speeding of motor vehicles in this area.
Mr Lehmann suggested that a meeting between the Police, RMS, and Council
representatives may be the best method to address the residents’ concerns.
Traffic Committee Recommendation:
That a meeting between the relevant Police representatives, RMS representatives and
Council representatives be held to examine the issue of poor driver behaviours at La
Perouse and along the roads leading to La Perouse, in the near future.
