REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE

A local resident (CR18-303714).

ISSUES

Reduced sight distance at a pedestrian crossing, due to parked vehicles.

PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEE

(Not applicable).

COMMENTS BY INVESTIGATING OFFICER

Council has received representation from a local resident requesting consideration be given to

implementing measures to improve driver compliance for northbound traffic in Eton Street, on

approach to the pedestrian crossing at Flora Street.

Sight distance between northbound approaching drivers and westbound pedestrians, waiting to cross

the staged pedestrian crossing, is currently reduced, due to the presence of vehicles parked in the

median parking bay. The issue is aggravated when the parked vehicle is a truck. Therefore, it is

proposed to convert one space of one-hour parking to two-hour motorcycle parking.

Furthermore, the existing pedestrian crossing signs will be upgraded to fluorescent yellow/green

pedestrian crossing signs.

FINANCIAL / RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

All costs can be fully funded within existing budget allocations.

ISSUES

Parking near Sutherland Courthouse.

PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEE

(Not applicable).

COMMENTS BY INVESTIGATING OFFICER

Cr John Riad, on behalf of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT, has requested consideration be given to parking

being provided for volunteers of the Canine Court Companion Program at Sutherland Courthouse.

Guide Dogs NSW/ACT has entered into an agreement with Sutherland Courthouse to provide therapy

dogs to to reduce stress and anxiety for vulnerable people including victims and witnesses at court.

Four different volunteers and their dogs attend Sutherland Courthouse one day each, between 9am

and 10.30am or 9.30am and 11am, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

It is often difficult for volunteers to find parking close to the courthouse. It is therefore proposed to

convert one of the existing one-hour parking spaces in Flora Street to a dedicated parking space for

the volunteers, using a Parking Permit System.

STR003-19 COORIENGAH HEIGHTS ROAD, ENGADINE - SPEED CUSHIONS

Attachments: Appendix A⇩ and Appendix B⇩

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Council has received concerns that regarding road safety on Cooriengah Heights Road,

between Dundee Street and Mirang Place.

Council conducted extensive investigations into traffic calming facilities between 2007 and

2009, leading to the installation of traffic calming facilities such as kerb blisters, median islands,

line marking and signage at this location.

Despite a minor reduction in 85th percentile vehicle speeds (59 km/h to 57 km/h) and a reduction

in the quantity and severity of reported vehicles crashes, minor vehicle crashes resulting in

damage to Council infrastructure and parked vehicles were regularly reported between 2012

and 2018.

To address these issues, it is proposed to install rubber speed cushions on both approaches to

the bend.

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. Two speed cushions and associated warning signs be installed in Cooriengah Heights Road,

Engadine, in accordance with Plan ‘A’ attached to the report.

2. Council include the above works in the 2018/2019 Traffic and Transport Works Program.

3. Nearby residents be advised of the works.

LOCATION

Cooriengah Heights Road, between Dundee Street and Mirang Place, Engadine.

(Heathcote Electorate)

REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE

Local resident (CR18-253633).

ISSUES

Crash history and excessive driver speeds.

PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEE

The Committee has previously considered installing safety measures to reduce driver speeds and

address the crash history:

STR162-07 Cooriengah Heights Road, Engadine - Traffic Calming;

STR051-08 Cooriengah Heights Road, Engadine - Traffic Calming;

STR019-08 Cooriengah Heights Road, Engadine - Traffic Calming;

STR070-09 Cooriengah Heights Road, Engadine - Traffic Calming; and

CTF011-08 Cooriengah Heights Road, Engadine - Traffic Calming.

COMMENTS BY INVESTIGATING OFFICER

Council has received multiple reports from the community relating to vehicle crashes and excessive

speed on the bend at the frontage of 131 Cooriengah Heights Road, Engadine. Investigations have

revealed evidence of excessive vehicle speeds and that speed is likely to be a significant factor in the

recent crash history at the bend in the road.

As demonstrated by the list of previous considerations by the Traffic and Traffic Safety Committee

above, Council undertook extensive investigations into appropriate traffic calming measures in

Cooriengah Heights Road, between Dundee Street and Mirang Place, between 2007 and 2009. The

feasibility of installing oval thresholds, roundabouts, kerb blisters, median islands, linemarking and

signage were all investigated. Ultimately, oval thresholds and roundabouts were considered

unsuitable for a variety of reasons, including sight distance, topography and residential property

access. A variety of kerb blisters, median islands, linemarking and signage solutions were considered

the appropriate option and subsequently installed in 2009 after a number of design iterations.

Traffic speed and volume surveys were undertaken on Cooriengah Heights Road in May 2018,

40 metres west of the apex of the bend. The average daily bi-directional vehicle volumes were

approximately 8,000 veh/day, with an even directional split. The 85th percentile speeds of vehicles

was 56 km/h, with northbound vehicles recording 57 km/h. The data was captured in an area that has

a recommended speed of 35 km/h, due to the characteristics of the bend in the road. Data recorded

in 2007 and 2013, approximately 70 metres north of the apex of the bend, revealed bi-directional 85th

percentile speeds of 59km/h and 56 km/h respectively, in a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. Since the

construction of the traffic calming measures, 85th percentile speeds have reduced from 59 km/h to

57 km/h.

Data from the Roads and Maritime Services Vehicle Crash Database shows there have been thirteen

reported vehicle crashes on Cooriengah Heights Road, between Dundee Street and Mirang Place,

since 1999, one of which occurred since July 2012. Of the reported vehicle crashes, three have

occurred since traffic calming improvements at the site, resulting in no reported casualties.

Despite the reduction in the severity and quantity of reported vehicle crashes, reports from residents of

minor vehicle crashes at this location have been frequent since 2012. Council has been required to

replace damaged chevron alignment, Keep Left and No Stopping signs, in addition to parked vehicles

incurring significant damage due to vehicle crashes. Instances reported to Council include:

March 2018 – Damaged Chevron Alignment Marker - CR18-253595;

September 2017 – Damaged Chevron Alignment Markers – CR17-211234;

May 2017 – Damaged Chevron Alignment Markers and Keep Left Signs –

CR17-171164;

December 2016 – Missing Keep Left Sign – CR16-134392;

March 2015 – Damaged No Stopping Sign – CR15-000656;

December 2014 – Damaged No Stopping Sign - 772831865;

July 2013 – Damaged Keep Left Signs - 772266090;

March 2012 – Damaged Chevron Alignment Markers – 771752260; and

February 2012 – Damaged Signs – 771721070.

Photographs of incidents listed above, where submitted, are attached in Appendix B.

Proposed treatment

Due to the continued evidence of drivers travelling at excessive speeds and frequent minor vehicle

crashes on Cooriengah Heights Road, between Dundee Street and Mirang Place, it is proposed to

install two rubber speed cushions on Cooriengah Heights Road and associated Speed Hump [W5-10]

warning signs. The speed cushions are proposed to be installed next to kerb blisters and median

islands where possible to reduce the likelihood of vehicles avoiding the devices by travelling in the

parking lane or on the opposite side of the road.

The proposed locations are attached in Plan A and are as follows:

Northbound travel direction, adjacent to existing kerb blister and median island at the frontage

of 135 Cooriengah Heights Road; and

Southbound travel direction, adjacent to existing kerb blister at the frontage of 72 Cooriengah

Heights Road.

STR005-19 CENTRAL AVENUE, COMO - RAISED THRESHOLD

Attachments: Appendix A,⇩ Appendix B⇩ and Appendix C⇩

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Sutherland Shire Council’s Project Services identified an opportunity for a heritage and

environment walk in Como.

The proposal received positive community feedback; however, concerns were raised regarding

potential pedestrian hazards on Central Avenue, Como, which is a key link in the route.

Site visits revealed the construction of suitable pedestrian infrastructure on Central Avenue,

Como was not feasible or possible in some sections.

The development of a ‘10 km/h Shared Zone’ in Central Avenue, between Paruna Reserve and

Wolger Street, in conjunction with a route alteration to divert pedestrians away from the majority

of the length of Central Avenue would result in a reduction to the risk of hazards pedestrians are

exposed to.

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. A raised threshold be installed in Central Avenue, west of Wolger Street, Como, in accordance

with Appendix B attached to the report.

2. Nearby residents be advised of the proposal.

(Miranda Electorate)

REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE

Traffic and Transport Services Unit of Sutherland Shire Council.

ISSUES

Pedestrian safety on a road without a footpath.

PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEE

(Not applicable).

COMMENTS BY INVESTIGATING OFFICER

Sutherland Shire Council’s Project Services Unit are developing The Como Heritage and

Environmental Trail (CHET), to provide a walking journey through the history of Como in scenic natural

beauty and urban landscapes. The route travels through Oyster Bay and Como, next to roads such as

Green Point Road, Cremona Road, Como Parade, Bindea Street, Woronora Crescent and Central

Avenue, as shown in Appendix A.

The CHET received overwhelming positive feedback following a period of public display, with the vast

majority of respondents expressing excitement at the proposed walking route. The key query raised

during consultation was the accessibility for pedestrians on the proposed route along Central Avenue,

which is a tight road with steep embankments on both sides and a lack of existing infrastructure

suitable to safely handle large pedestrian volumes.

Paruna Reserve is considered a vital asset of the CHET, with access only possible from Woronora

Crescent to the south and Central Avenue to the east. As such, the CHET is required to traverse at

least a section of Central Avenue to ensure access to Paruna Reserve is maintained as part of the

walking trail.

Site visits revealed upgrading the existing road corridor facilities along the length of Central Avenue is

not feasible or possible in some areas, due to the topography and existing infrastructure surrounding

the roadway.

To ensure the CHET proposal is possible in its intended format, and overcome the constraints

presented by the layout of Central Avenue and the surrounding topography, it is proposed to construct

a raised threshold on Central Avenue, thereby creating a lower-speed environment and reducing the

risk of pedestrians being struck by a vehicle.

If the raised threshold is approved, Council staff intend to apply to RMS to install a ‘10 km/h Shared

Zone’ in Central Avenue, between Wolger Street and Paruna Reserve. The proposed changes are

provided in Appendix B.

To ensure pedestrians are on Central Avenue for the least amount of time, the CHET route will be

deviate from Central Avenue, after the raised threshold. The trail will take pedestrians from Central

Avenue south on Wolger Street to Woronora Crescent, before heading east on Woronora Crescent to

meet the originally proposed route at the juncture of Central Avenue and Como Parade. The route

alteration is contained within Appendix C.

FINANCIAL / RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

Cost of construction of the raised threshold and signage and line marking associated with the Shared

Zone will be captured within the CHET project budget.

1. The existing 20 metre ‘NO PARKING 8AM-8PM’ on the north-eastern side of Hobart Place,

opposite the loading dock entrance for Coles supermarket, Illawong be extended by 10 metres

to the northwest, in accordance with Plan ‘A’ attached to the report.

REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE

Resolution of Council.

ISSUES

Drivers find it difficult to access the Coles Loading Dock, from Hobart Place, in both directions.

PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEE

Heavy Vehicles Slipping at Access Driveway to Coles Loading Dock, Illawong Shopping Village

(refer STR082-18)

Access to Coles Loading Dock (refer STR114-18).

COMMENTS BY INVESTIGATING OFFICER

A report (STR082-18 Hobart Place, Illawong – Heavy Vehicles Slipping at Access Driveway to Coles

Loading Dock, Illawong Shopping Village) was tabled to the Committee in June 2018, where an

alternative route to the Coles Loading Dock driveway was approved to improve safety conditions for

delivery vehicles and other road users on Hobart Place, Illawong.

Prior to the development of the report, Council consulted with Illawong Shopping Village Centre

Management, Coles Distribution and Linfox regarding the proposal and conducted a dry test of the

alternative route with a semi-trailer. All parties were in agreeance with the proposed alternative route

to Hobart Place via Brisbane Street and subsequent right turn into the Coles Loading Dock driveway,

with Linfox submitting written word that their driver felt safer under the altered travel route. On the

suggestion of the test driver, an approximate 16 metre section of No Parking, between approved

delivery hours 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., was installed to assist drivers of large delivery vehicles turn into

the driveway safely.

Subsequent to this, a report (STR114-18 Access to Coles Loading Dock – Hobart Place, Illawong)

was tabled to the Committee in August 2018, where the installation of a No Left Turn Vehicles Over

6m for vehicles was endorsed to the south-east of the Coles Loading Dock driveway.

Since this time, Council has received concerns from residents regarding delivery vehicles, including:

vehicles arriving in contravention of the banned left turn into the site;

fears that vehicles may tip when entering the site correctly; and

instances of vehicles unable to navigate the approved right turn into the site and becoming

stuck in the garden at the frontage of 273A Hobart Place, Illawong.

Council met with Linfox representatives on site on Friday 18 January to assess the performance of

loaded delivery vehicle undertaking the right turn into the Coles Loading Dock driveway. As a result of

the meeting, it is recommended that the No Parking, between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., be extended to

the north-west by approximately eight metres. Council will also be installing advanced signage on

Hobart Place to alert drivers to the location of the loading dock driveway.

On 21 January 21 2019, Council issued an instruction to Illawong Shopping Village to reconstruct the

layback kerb crossing of the driveway to provide a more level surface and improve traction for delivery

vehicles.

FINANCIAL / RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

The proposed measures can be fully funded within existing budget allocations.
