At the Traffic Committee meeting held on 5th December, 1995, consideration was given to a letterbox drop survey of residents at the end of Myall Street concerning a request for No Standing restrictions from Council's garbage contractors. The Committee recommended:
"THAT this matter be referred to Peakhurst Ward Councillors for their consideration."
However, at the Works Committee meeting held on 13th December, 1995, the following recommendation was made:
"THAT no action be taken in relation to the provision of No Standing signs."
Council subsequently adopted the Works Committee's recommendation at its meeting held on 13th December, 1995.
* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its notation.
At the meeting, further concern was raised about the need for sufficient turning room for garbage vehicles at this cul-de-sac. It was agreed that it would not be onerous on adjoining residents for No Standing, Mondays, to be implemented in the turning circle only.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT No Standing, Monday be installed in the turning circle of Myall street.

04.03.04 QUEENS ROAD AT DORA STREET, HURSTVILLE (T/00998)

At the Traffic Committee meeting held on 5th December, 1995, advice was given that the Roads & Traffic Authority had notified Council that it recognised the need for traffic signals at the intersection of Queens Road and Dora Street. However, as funds for the current financial year are fully committed to other sites with a higher priority, the Authority was unable to indicate when work was likely to proceed. The Committee recommended:
"THAT the R.T.A. recognition of the need for traffic signals at the intersection of Queens Road and Dora Street be noted."

At the Council meeting held on 13th December, 1995, the Traffic Committee's recommendation was adopted and further representations be made to State Members in relation to funding of traffic signals at this intersection.
Accordingly, correspondence was forwarded to State Members, and replies have been received from both Ms M. Ficarra, M.P. and Mr M. Iemma, M.P., enclosing a copy of a response from the Parliamentary Secretary for Roads. The following extracts are from the Parliamentary Secretary's letter:
"Council's concern for the signalisation of this intersection is appreciated. However, in assessing the many road safety projects worthy of support, you would appreciate that the Government must base its funding decisions on an objective priority basis.

While no funds are available in the current financial year, the Minister has asked the Roads & Traffic Authority to consider the installation of signals in the 1996/97 Works Programme."

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the information be noted, and further that letters of thanks be forwarded to State Members.

04.03.05 FOREST ROAD AT PENSHURST STREET, PENSHURST (T/00987)

At the Traffic Committee meeting held on 7th September, 1995, consideration was given to the need for the presently prohibited right turn from Penshurst Street into Forest Road to be permitted, by the linemarked introduction of a right turn bay, with appropriate red arrow holding for pedestrian protection. Council resolved to seek the support of local Members of Parliament in making representations to the R.T.A. for the reintroduction of the right turn.
Replies have now been received from Mr M. Iemma, M.P., and Ms M. Ficarra, M.P. providing a copy of a response from the Parliamentary Secretary for Roads. The following is extracted from the Parliamentary Secretary's letter:
"Council's concern for the provision of this facility is appreciated, and the R.T.A. has thoroughly investigated Council's suggested signal modifications. It is the R.T.A's view that unacceptable delays would be experienced by motorists using the intersection and that pedestrian and road safety would be compromised by the inclusion of this facility unless right turn bays were installed in Penshurst Street. As Penshurst Street is a road under the care and control of Council, the issue of road widening is one for consideration by Council. In the circumstances the R.T.A. is not in a position to carry out the signal alterations without the necessary works by Council."

As was made clear in the representations to the R.T.A., Council does not believe that road widening in Penshurst Street to create right turn bays is necessary to provide an adequate level of service at this intersection, together with an appropriate level of vehicle and pedestrian safety. However, matters of traffic signal control are not delegated by the R.T.A. to Council, and the R.T.A. is the sole State Government organisation which controls traffic signals. As political representations in this matter have now failed to move the Authority to allow the presently prohibited right turn, there appears to be little chance of succeeding in reintroducing the right turn.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the information be noted.

HURSTVILLE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION NO: .03.05 ENGINEERING

. Recommendation FOREST ROAD AT PENSHURST STREET, PENSHURST (T/00987)

04.03.06 STONEY CREEK ROAD AT PENSHURST STREET, BEVERLY HILLS (T/00987)

At the Traffic Committee meeting held on 7th September, 1995, further consideration was given to reintroducing the presently prohibited Right Turn from Stoney Creek Road into Penshurst Street to head north. Council resolved that representations be made to Local Members of State Parliament seeking the R.T.A. to include the construction of a Right Turn bay and introduction of the presently prohibited Right Turn from Stoney Creek Road into Penshurst Street in a programme of works to be undertaken as part of traffic amelioration for the M5 East Motorway.

A reply has now been received from Mr. M. Iemma, M.P., containing a copy of a letter from the Parliamentary Secretary for Roads. The following extract is from the Parliamentary Secretary's letter:
"Council's concern for the provision of this facility is appreciated. However, in assessing the many projects worthy of support, you would appreciate that the Government must base its funding decisions on an objective priority basis.

As indicated in the R.T.A. advice to Council, the introduction of a Right Turn phase at this location would require expensive road widening in order to maintain the operating capacity of the intersection.

Having regard to conditions at the site generally and the overall funding available, the Minister is not in a position to allocate funds for the work at this stage.

You may be assured that the R.T.A. will continue to monitor traffic conditions at this location."

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.

TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT this matter be considered in conjunction with item 4. 03.17.

04.03.07 WOMBAT SCHOOL CROSSING INSTALLATIONS (T/00540)

The R.T.A. has recently confirmed that a grant of $12,000 is available for the introduction of Wombat Crossings at appropriate locations adjacent to schools, on a dollar for dollar basis with Council for the current financial year.

At the Traffic Committee meeting held on 2nd March, 1995 a detailed inventory of traffic facilities outside all schools within the Hurstville Council area was considered. Following recent implementation of Wombat Crossings at various schools, the only Wombat Crossings outstanding within the Council area are those in Tarilli Street and Cooloongatta Road at Regina Coeli School, Beverly Hills, and Chamberlain Street, Narwee, at Narwee High School.

These Wombat Crossings can be constructed for the presently available $24,000. It would therefore be appropriate for Council to allocate the R.T.A. grant and its share of funds to these projects. It should also be noted that both of these locations are presently covered by 40 kph School Zones.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.

TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT Council approve the construction of Wombat School Crossing installations at Tarilli Street, Cooloongatta Road and Chamberlain Street.

HURSTVILLE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION NO: .03.07 ENGINEERING

. Recommendation WOMBAT SCHOOL CROSSING INSTALLATIONS (T/00540)

No. 48719.323; $12,000 from RTA, $12,000 from Council's 1995/96 budget allocation for Suburban Amenities in Program 8-001)

04.03.08 40 KPH SCHOOL ZONES (T/01135)

The R.T.A. have advised Council that $16,000 is available for implementation of 40 kph School Zones within the Council area, fully funded by the R.T.A. for the current financial year. However, the R.T.A. has also written to Council advising that instead of Councils implementing 40 kph School Zones as has previously occurred, the Authority wishes to gain more appropriate control of standards of installation of signs and "40" patches on roads, by arranging the installations themselves. This in effect means that the grant is not being made to Council, but that Council can nominate appropriate locations for 40 kph School Zones for the R.T.A's installation.

As indicated in the previous item, Council's comprehensive audit of facilities outside schools undertaken in March, 1995, together with the recent introduction of a number of 40 kph School Zones, has shown that only two schools require implementation of standard 40 kph School Zones, with signposting and "40" patches on the roadway. These schools are Lugarno Primary School, Old Forest Road (which presently has a full time 40 kph zone) and Montessori School, Riverwood, Lillian Road.

It is suggested that the Authority be requested to implement these 40 kph School Zones, which will effectively complete the introduction of all possible Wombat and 40 kph School Zones at all schools within the Hurstville Council area.
* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the R.T.A. be requested to implement 40 kph School Zones in:

* Old Forest Road at Lugarno Primary School, Lugarno
* Lillian Road, at Montessori School, Riverwood

04.03.09 HILL STREET, HURSTVILLE (T/00821)

Sgt. J. Haynes has requested consideration of formally signposting the present practice of 90° angle parking in the dead end section of Hill Street, south of Treacy Street.

Although not signposted, there has been a common practice for many years for vehicles to park at 90° to the kerb on the eastern side of Hill Street in this location. A plan of this area will be available for consideration on the day of the meeting.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT 90° angle parking on the east side of Hill Street, south of Treacy Street be approved and signposted accordingly.

04.03.10 FOREST ROAD, LUGARNO - PARKING RESTRICTIONS NEAR CUL-DE-SAC (T/00782)

Councillor R. Stewart has requested consideration of modifying No Standing restrictions along the south side of Forest Road, approaching the old Lugarno Ferry ramp. He advises that numerous motorists illegally park in areas presently signposted No Standing, due to the nearby businesses, causing little traffic problem.

Further details of this proposal will be available on the day of the meeting.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.

At the meeting this matter was discussed in relation to the liability of Council allowing parking in inappropriate locations, should an accident occur. It was advised that removal of No Standing restrictions in the narrow section of Forest Road just east of the turning circle could result in a collision. However it was advised that four angle parking spaces have recently been introduced in the cul-de-sac, together with three parallel parking spaces on the north side of the cul-de-sac, against the cliff. Unlimited parking on the south side of Forest Road was also available from a point approximately 50 metres east of the cul-de-sac. In order to realise additional parking, it was advised that the old ferry ramp has recently been sealed so that it can no longer be used as a boat ramp. This will result in an additional two angle parking spaces across the entrance to the ramp.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the angle parking in the cul-de-sac of Forest Road be altered to provide an additional two spaces at the old Lugarno Ferry Ramp, but that no other relaxation of No Standing restrictions occur.

04.03.11 ST. ELMO PARADE, KINGSGROVE (T/01041)

A resident of the townhouse complex on the corner of St. Elmo Parade and Stoney Creek Road has written regarding traffic congestion caused by parents dropping off and picking up children to the nearby Arkana College. This matter has previously been considered by the Traffic Committee, in relation to a request for part time parking restrictions, however, the Committee did not recommend installation of parking restrictions, due to their likely ineffectiveness in solving the parking problem.

The resident has discussed the possibility of extending the existing landscaped garden plot, adjacent to an entry threshold, to eliminate a parking space adjacent to their driveway. While causing the permanent loss of an on street parking space, the residents are in favour of this suggestion due to the benefit gained by improving sight distance as they enter and leave their driveway.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the landscaping adjacent to the threshold in St. Elmo Parade be extended towards the resident's driveway at cost to Maintenance Allocations.

04.03.12 WORONORA PARADE AT WONOONA PARADE, OATLEY - ROUNDABOUT (R/00528)

Council has received a petition signed by 32 residents of the Oatley area concerning the landscaping on the roundabout at Woronora Parade and Wonoona Parade. The residents suggest that near misses on this roundabout are common, as it is impossible to see vehicles making right hand turns on the roundabout.

This matter has previously been considered by Council, and investigations by officers have found that when a vehicle is waiting to enter this roundabout, and no vehicle is visible through the landscaping, there is enough time to safely enter the roundabout. However, if a motorist entering the roundabout observes a vehicle already on the roundabout, they must give way to that vehicle.

A check of the R.T.A. accident statistics show that since installation of this roundabout, no serious accidents have been reported.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.

At the meeting, the Police representative advised that the density of landscaping on the roundabout did cause a sight distance obstruction which was of concern. It was agreed at the meeting that a reduction in the landscaping could be made to improve sight distance at the roundabout.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT a minor reduction to the landscaping in the centre of this roundabout be made, to increase motorists' vision across the roundabout.

Council has received a complaint from a resident of Margaret Street concerning the volume of vehicles by-passing the intersection of Morgan Street and Kingsgrove Road during the morning peak period. It is indicated that motorists faced with long delays at the intersection of Morgan Street and Kingsgrove Road, prefer to turn right from Morgan Street into Margaret Street, and then use one of several available streets to access Kingsgrove Road.

The resident suggests that the right turn from Morgan Street into Margaret Street be prohibited for the morning peak period.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT no action be taken regarding restricing the movement from Morgan Street into Margaret Street, but that Council continue to monitor traffic volumes and speeds in this Local Area Traffic Management Precinct.

Council has received a petition signed by 11 residents of Angus Avenue, concerned about all day parking in the street.

Angus Avenue is a short cul-de-sac on the east side of Boundary Road, where due to industrial premises on the west side of Boundary Road, employee parking usually occurs all day in Angus Avenue. The petition suggests No Standing restrictions being implemented on one side of Angus Avenue, and also at the corners of Angus Avenue with Boundary Road.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT no action be taken in relation to No Standing restrictions, but that Police advice that heavy vehicle parking in the street would be enforced, be noted.

04.03.15 BELMORE ROAD, AT COLERIDGE STREET, RIVERWOOD - BUS STOP (T/00543)

A resident of Coleridge Street has written advising that when buses stop at the bus stop on the west side of Belmore Road, south of Coleridge Street, they cause sight distance obstructions for motorists entering Belmore Road from Coleridge Street.

On site observations have shown that the Bus Zone is appropriately located adjacent to this intersection, at the end of period parking spaces. As this Bus Zone is vacant for the majority of the time, sight distance at this intersection is generally good. However, when a bus does stop at this location, sight distance obstruction does occur. However, should the Bus Zone be relocated, the Bus Zone would revert to period parking restrictions, and vehicles would park in this location much more frequently, causing a similar sight distance obstruction.

An alternative proposal would be to relocate the Bus Zone further south in Belmore Road, with an extended section of No Standing restrictions at the intersection. This would cause the loss of existing period parking spaces.

* Accordingly, this matter is referred to the Committee for its consideration.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT no action be taken, as the Bus Zone was in the most appropriate location.

At a previous Traffic Committee Meeting, consideration was given to the Blackspot accident record at the intersection of King Georges Road and Morgan Street, Beverly Hills. As part of Council's resolution in this regard, representations were made to the R.T.A., through local State Members, for increasing the priority of roadworks at the intersection of King Georges Road and Stoney Creek Road, because by passing of congestion at this intersection contributed to the accident rate at Morgan Street.
Advice has now been received through Mr M. Iemma, M.P. indicating that the Minister for Roads has increased the priority of these major roadworks. An extract from the Minister's letter follows:
"Following my meeting with yourself and a delegation from Council on 23 August last, I asked the Roads & Traffic Authority to advise on options for the upgrade of the intersection of King Georges Road and Stoney Creek Road. You will be pleased to learn that it is proposed to reconstruct and upgrade this intersection. The work is programmed to commence in mid 1996 and is expected to be completed by the middle of 1998. The estimated cost of the work, including property acquisitions, is $10M.

The R.T.A. has recently converted the two independent signalised intersections of King Georges Road with Morgan Street and Tooronga Terrace into one large signalised intersection. This will result in more efficient operation of the intersection and will improve safety conditions at the intersection. As indicated traffic conditions at this intersection will also be improved with the upgrading of the intersection of King Georges Road and Stoney Creek Road."

At the meeting, the details of the widening scheme were queried, but were not available. In relation to item 4.03.06, Council has sought a right turn facility for eastbound traffic along Stoney Creek Road at Penshurst Street. However, should the reconstruction of King Georges Road and Stoney Creek Road give the opportunity to provide a right turn from Stoney Creek Road into King Georges Road, to head south, this may resolve the former problem. Another option is for the major roadworks to provide a right turn bay in Stoney Creek Road at Cambridge Street, and prohibit the right turn into Arcadia Street.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION:

THAT Council seek details of the R.T.A's proposed widening plans of the intersection of King Georges Road and Stoney Creek Road, and FURTHER THAT the R.T.A. be requested to permit the presently banned right turn from Stoney Creek Road into King Georges Road as part of these major roadworks, or include the widening of Stoney Creek Road at Penshurst Street to provide the right turn at that intersection as part of the overall King Georges Road/Stoney Creek Road works.

04.04 HURSTVILLE BOULEVARD/FOREST ROAD - STREET NAME SIGNS (R/00177)
(Report by Manager - Traffic & Transportation, Mr. G. Morris)

At Council's meeting held on 17th January, 1996, it was resolved to hold a Working Party for interested Councillors and officers to consider the matter of appropriate street name signs for Hurstville Boulevard.

The Council had considered a report advising that complaints had been received from business managers in Hurstville Boulevard about confusion that existed regarding the name of the street. While formally named Forest Road for official address purposes, the street was only signposted as Hurstville Boulevard.

A Working Party meeting was arranged for 5.00 pm on Wednesday, 31st January, 1996.

Present: Mr. C.J. Little, Hurstville City Council
Mr. G. Morris, Hurstville City Council
Ms. J. Arnold, Arnold's Stationery
Mr. T. McGann, McGann's Travel Agency
Mr. P. Monk, Schloeffel & Paul Real Estate
Clr. Dominelli ( for part of meeting )

The meeting opened at 5.15 pm and the traders in Hurstville Boulevard advised of customer and delivery driver confusion due to the lack of Forest Road street name signposting in the Hurstville Boulevard area. It was advised that the name "Hurstville Boulevard" was intended to be in addition to the name "Forest Road", for the section of Forest Road between Queens Road and the Palm Court car park. "Hurstville Boulevard" was intended as a place name, giving businesses the opportunity to use an address such as the following example:-

XYZ Business Name
Hurstville Boulevard
300A Forest Road
Hurstville 2220

As such, it was considered that the street name signs should show both Forest Road and Hurstville Boulevard. The meeting concluded with the following suggestions for consideration by Council:-

* THAT the four (4) existing Hurstville Boulevard street name signs be replaced with City Graphics style signs indicating: Forest Road in the normal green letters on apricot colour, including street numbers; and "Hurstville Boulevard" on an additional sign underneath, in the reverse colours of apricot letters on green;

* That two (2) additional street name signs be installed, as per the above description, one on each side of the Palm Court car park;

* THAT an R.T.A. style blue/white directional sign be installed at the intersection of Forest Road and Queens Road, facing Queens Road, indicating Forest Road, Hurstville Shopping Centre, P, arrow left;

* THAT a letter be sent to all shopkeepers and property owners in Hurstville Boulevard, explaining the dual naming of Hurstville Boulevard and Forest Road; and

* THAT a media release be prepared for local newspapers, to explain the dual naming of Hurstville Boulevard and Forest Road.

"His Worship the Mayor has suggested the provision of a bus shelter on Stoney Creek Road, near Central Road, Beverly Hills. The estimated cost for provision of such a shelter is $8,000 which could not be met from current budget allocations. However, in the interim, a concrete pad may suffice."

Council subsequently resolved:-

"THAT provision of a bus shelter be referred for consideration in the 1995/96 Revenue Works Program and FURTHER, THAT a concrete pad be installed from current Maintenance Allocations.""

Arrangements were subsequently put in place to install the shelter however objections were received from adjacent residents.With the Mayor's concurrence, this matter has been referred to the Penshurst Ward Councillors for their consideration.

Whilst the final location of the shelter needs to be resolved Council should also formally vote the necessary funds in accordance with its previous resolution.

04.09 27 SOUTHERN STREET, OATLEY - TREE INSPECTION (000776)
(Report by Manager - Parks & Recreation, Mr. A. Sharp)

Clr. P. Sansom raised concerns regarding the above matter at Council's meeting held on 31st January, 1996 and it was resolved as follows:-

"THAT the Manager - Parks & Recreation inspect the large Angophora costata adjacent to the carport to assess the need to remove substantial branches as requested by the applicant, or whether the future health and stability of the tree can be ensured with appropriate treatment and, if necessary, removal of an area of the carport to prevent further damage to the tree."

An inspection was subsequently made by myself, Mr. Rob Casey and Mr. Phil Da Pra on Friday, 2nd February, 1996.

The condition of the two (2) limbs, originally approved for removal, were examined closely. The following letter was subsequently prepared, amending the former approval, and hand delivered to Mr. Graham prior to 3.00 pm on 2nd February, 1996:-

"I am writing regarding the recently issued tree inspection report, under Council's Tree Preservation Order, dated 19 December 1995.

Further information has recently become available regarding the large Angophora costata (Sydney Red Gum) abutting the front of your existing carport. On the inspection report referred to above, permission was originally granted for the removal of two major limbs on this tree.

This notice hereby supersedes the portion of that report pertaining to the said Angophora and subsequently applies the following conditions:

1) that permission be granted for the removal of the major limb abutting the fascia on the front (east face) of the carport roof. This limb should be cut to collar;

2) that permission be denied for the removal of the major limb, currently protruding through the carport roof;

3) that permission be granted for the removal of some peripheral branches of the limb referred to in clause (2) above, for weight reduction, in the interests of the long term stability of this limb.

This weight reduction must be undertaken under the guidance of Council's Tree Preservation Officer, Mr Rob Casey, and no lopping of this limb shall be undertaken prior to consultation with Mr Casey.

It is further requested that the hole, through which the limb referred to in Clause (2) above protrudes, be enlarged to minimise the risk of further damage to the tree at this point.

This notice takes effect as of 3 PM on Friday, 2 February 1996.

Should you have further enquiries regarding this matter, please contact Andrew Sharp on telephone 330 6203."

The limb referred to in Clause (1) had sufficient damage to potentially render it unstable in windy conditions. I fully concur with Mr. Da Pra's original assessment of this limb, but believe the limb referred to in Clause (2) could be safely retained subject to some weight reduction on its extremities.

04.14 STAYSAFE COMMITTEE ON ROAD SAFETY - 50KM/H GENERAL
URBAN SPEED LIMIT (T/00572)
(Report by Manager - Traffic & Transportation, Mr. G. Morris)

In late 1995, the Minister for Roads announced a Staysafe Committee enquiry into the proposed introduction of 50km/h local speed limits in residential areas of N.S.W. The terms of reference for the enquiry include the following points:-

* Community concerns with effective speed management in urban areas, particularly vehicle speeds in residential streets.

* The most effective and appropriate traffic management strategies to be adopted to ensure compliance with 50km/h local road speed limits, including an assessment of trials underway on the lower North Shore of Metropolitan Sydney.

* The decision processes involved in the selection of local streets to be subject to a 50km/h speed limit.

* Communication strategies required to support the introduction of 50km/h in residential areas, including advertising, publicity, and education of drivers in the general public.

The Chairman of the Staysafe Committee has met with the Local Government & Shires Association about this issue, but has now also written to all N.S.W. Councils advising that the committee wishes to receive the views of individual Councils about the proposed introduction of a 50km/h general urban speed limit.

As members of Council will be aware, two (2) trial 50km/h speed limit precincts have been implemented in the Hurstville City Council area. These are the Beverly Hills East Precinct and the Penshurst Northeast Precinct. These precincts were implemented after exhaustive community consultation. Council also has extensive before and after traffic volume and speed survey data for these precincts.

It is a widely felt amongst traffic engineering professionals that introduction of a general urban speed limit of 50km/h in residential areas of N.S.W. may be as effective in improving road safety in the 1990's as introduction of compulsory wearing of seat belts and random breath testing were to road safety in previous decades.

Notwithstanding this support, there is evidence that some sections of the community are opposed to the reduction, due to the perceived potential increase in travel times. Such concerns, however, are unjustified if 50km/h speed limits are only introduced on local residential streets, not Regional and State Roads where most long distance travel occurs.

Other points in favour of the proposal are:

* 50km/h speed limits in residential streets may be an additional tool in protecting residential amenity in these areas, as through traffic will be discouraged to travel through residential areas;

* Widespread introduction of 50km/h limits will create better observance and compliance with the restriction than the present isolated and rare precinct treatments; and

* There will be less or hopefully no need to implement costly and controversial traffic control devices in order to introduce the 50km/h speed limit.

04.15 APPOINTMENT OF G.I.S. CONSULTANTS (C/00126)
(Report by Manager - Assets & Contracts, Mr. K. Azer)

Further to Item 4.35 of the Divisional Manager - Engineering's report of 29th November, 1995, titled Geographical Information System (G.I.S.) Progress Report.

A visit to Toowoomba City Council revealed the strengths of Esri's Arc/Info / ArcView system.

Esri's superiority to Mapinfo was confirmed in two software demonstrations to Council staff. However, concerns about the cost of Esri's implementation were raised after the demonstrations. This stressed the need to expand on the two-day survey of possible G.I.S. applications/benefits prepared by Manager - Assets & Contracts.

The following five (5) G.I.S. consultants have been contacted and briefed on the project:-

1. Navigate G.I.S.
2. Pyxis Systems
3. Esri Australia
4. Price Waterhouse
5. Auslig

Price Waterhouse and Auslig declined to quote on the job, reducing the number of submissions received to three (3).

The scope of consultancy work mainly covered the investigation and documentation of business requirements, spatial data requirements, G.I.S. technology requirements and issues that must be considered when implementing the G.I.S. into Council business operations as well as detailed costs and benefits derived from implementing G.I.S. into Council operations.

Prices received are as follows:-



Company	Scope	Price
Navigate G.I.S.	Full scope	$19,550
Esri Australia	Full scope	$16,000 excluding typing
Pyxis Systems	Full scope	$30,000


Navigate G.I.S. submitted an offer of $12,750 for the full scope with a brief cost/benefit analysis replacing the specified detailed costs and benefits derived from implementing G.I.S. into Council operations.

Navigate G.I.S. and Pyxis Systems are both vendor independent consultants, whilst Esri has a clear conflict of interest.

Navigate G.I.S. submitted four (4) very good local government referees whilst Pyxis System had only one Council on their list of relevant project experience.

Navigate G.I.S. have recently been awarded a G.I.S. consultancy job at Kogarah Municipal Council. That gives Navigate the opportunity to comment on resource sharing opportunities between Kogarah and Hurstville Councils.

Purchasing the L.I.C. cadastral data and crossmatching with Council's property information is the next logical step after appointing the G.I.S. consultants. This step is needed irrespective of the consultants' findings. Total cost of that step is $60,000.

CROSSING (007560)
(Report by Manager - Assets & Contracts, Mr. K. Azer, and Engineering Officer,
Mrs. M. Bannigan)

This report has been prepared after a verbal request by Clr. B. McDonald on 11th January, 1996 regarding alterations to the existing vehicular crossing at the above address.

Mr. Swan of 36 Bungalow Road, Peakhurst, made a request in April, 1995 for Council to alter levels of his vehicular crossing. Levels were taken and crossing details were placed on a list for further investigation.

On 21st December, 1995, Mr. Swan came to the Technical Services Counter to discuss the matter with Mr. Khaled Azer, Manager - Assets & Contracts. Mr. Swan was told that his request had been refused and was advised of Council's policy.

The policy states that:-

"Council only undertake maintenance work on vehicular crossings at its own expense where the problem of scraping to vehicles is caused by work undertaken by Council elsewhere within the road reservation."

The policy has been in force since February, 1992 and has been enforced on many residents including more than four (4) residents in the last two (2) months. Refer to List 1, Appendix "C" for names and addresses.

Residents whose crossings need internal adjustment have also been refused. Refer to List 2, Appendix "C" for names and addresses.

Under the principle adopted by Council for vehicular crossings construction, the sole beneficiary of the crossing is the resident, therefore the resident pays to have vehicular access to his/her property.

If Council elects to contribute towards the reconstruction of Mr. Swan's vehicular crossing and all crossings in similar situation, the cost could exceed $1,500,000** over the next five years.

**Note: Based on 5% of the 30,000 vehicular crossings within the Hurstville City Council boundaries at $1,000/crossing.

Mr. Swan's crossing was constructed more than 30 years ago to accommodate the higher vehicles of the 50's. It is obviously not possible to extend the standard 6 months defect liability period to cover this period.

The 1995/96 budget for vehicular crossings has been 75% exhausted in the first half of the financial year. Our current position is:-

Total budget allocation $30,000
Amount available $8,000
Cost of repairing vehicular crossings affected by
work undertaken by Council elsewhere within the
road reservation - refer to Appendix "D" for details $22,000

The Brigades have sought Council's assistance in promoting their work experience program covering all facets of fire fighting. Each week approximately four (4) students at a time from schools all over N.S.W. attend the Alexandria Training College and experience a hands on approach to fire fighting.

(Report by Manager - Engineering Administration, Mr. L. O'Connor)

The budget for the replacement of small lawn mowers and edgers for the 1995/96 financial year has been fully expended, however, due to various circumstances leading to the premature expiration of a number of new small plant items and requests from park operations for additional plant items for specific purposes, it is required that the following items of plant be purchased:-

Three (3) Stihl Air Brooms $ 780;
Three (3) Stihl 108 Brushcutters $1,650;
Three (3) Victa Pro 550 Rotary Mower $1,620; and

04.26A CIVIC CENTRE ELECTRICITY TARIFF(A/00001)
(Report by Manager - Engineering Administration, Mr. L. O'Connor)

Recent discussions with Sydney Electricity has revealed that the current tariffs at the Civic Centre are Demands (obsolete) and Process Heating which costs Council $208,613 per year. If Council transfers to a new tariff called Standard KVA demand, the annual cost will be $178,439, a saving of approximately $30,000 per year.

The quotation received from Sydney Electricity to transfer the Civic Centre to the new Standard KVA demand tariff is $1,020.00. This is to consolidate the demand load with process heating local, to the new Standard KVA demand tariff.
