RP-1 Proposed Mobility Parking Space - Forsyth Street adjacent to the Market Place Mall
Author: Warren Faulkner
|
That the Local Traffic Committee approve the installation of a compliant 7.8 metre length of Mobility Parking Scheme zone on the southern side of Forsyth Street immediately west of the traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing between Baylis and Berry Streets, using standard R5-1-3 series signs with the additional information “2P’ to be displayed on the sign and the adjacent T & L marked spaces to be adjusted accordingly to a minimum of 6 metres each.

Report
Council has received a request from a business along Forsyth Street requesting a Mobility Parking Space be installed on the southern side of Forsyth Street between the Traffic Signals connecting the Market Place and Sturt Malls and the main street.
The area out the front of the Market Place and directly adjacent to the traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing is heavily trafficked with pedestrians and motor vehicles and the need for a designated mobility parking space for disabled persons is high.
Investigations into the number and compliant Mobility Parking Scheme (MPS) zones (disabled parking zones) in proximity to this site has found that the inclusion of a Mobility parking Space at this location would greatly improve the community’s access to not only nearby businesses and health care practices such as dentist and optometrists but the main street central business area as well.
The current parking arrangements are marked T&L standard 1 hour parallel parking spaces in this portion of Forsyth Street. The proposed two hour time limit would be appropriate for the holders of MPS permits.
It is therefore proposed that a MPS space be installed immediately west of the traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing as shown following images.
The inclusion of one MPS at this location would not adversely affect the current parking, only improve access for the disabled.

RP-3 Change of Date - August 2024 Local Traffic Committee Meeting
Author: Warren Faulkner
That the Local Traffic Committee endorse the change of meeting date from 29 August 2024 to 8 August 2024 to ensure the advice of the Local Traffic Committee will be considered by the current Council at its Ordinary Meeting on the 26th August 2024.
Report
At the last meeting of the Local Traffic Committee on 16 November 2023, the Local Traffic Committee considered and endorsed the 2024 meeting schedule.
Subsequently, an error has been picked up in the 2024 Meeting Schedule for the Local Traffic Committee in that the meeting date scheduled for the 29 August 2024 does not align with the Council Meeting scheduled for 26 August 2024.
It is recommended that the August 2024 Local Traffic Committee meeting date be changed to the 8th August 2024 to enable align with the Council Meeting.
Risk Management Issues for Council
Local Government elections for the Council are on the 14th September 2024. The last scheduled ordinary meeting of the current Council is on the 26th August 2024. If the August meeting date is not changed to a time before the last meeting to enable the advice of the committee to be considered by the current council at this meeting, then there will be a considerable delay in getting the recommendations of the Committee endorsed and approved by Council.
