Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

ARA Building Pty Ltd has applied for the temporary road closure of Docker Lane, Chippendale between O'Connor Street and Blackfriars Lane from Monday 18 January 2021 to Friday 22 January 2021 and again between Monday 25 January 2021 and Friday 29 January 2021, 24 hours a day (ie Monday to Friday only).

Comments

The proposed temporary road closure is required to enable remedial waterproofing works along the frontage of 18-20 Buckland Street, Chippendale.  Work on site will only occur between 7am to 5pm but the road needs to remain closed for the full 24 hour period Monday to Friday only.

The Applicant has provided a site-specific Traffic Control Plan that includes details of barricades, signs, flagmen and other traffic devices to implement the proposed road closure.

There are currently no other approved temporary road closures proposed to take place on the same day in this area.

The temporary road closure will not affect any other properties, as local access will be provided at all times and alternative access routes are available nearby.

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) for the temporary road closure was approved by Transport for NSW (TFNSW).

Consultation

The Applicant will be required to notify affected stakeholders as stipulated in Schedule B

Financial

All costs associated with the proposed closure will be borne by the applicant.
