Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

Novo Rail has requested a 34.2 metre long Works Zone in Marian Street, Redfern between Rosehill and Cornwallis Streets.

The Works Zone is to facilitate construction works at the Redfern Railway Station.

Comments

The kerb space on the northern side of Marian Street, Redfern west of Rosehill Street, where the Works Zone is proposed, is currently a combination “No Parking Car Share Vehicle Excepted Zone GoGet” and unrestricted for parking.

The Works Zone is intended to operate from 7.30am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday and 7.30am-3.30pm Saturday in accordance with the Development Consent Conditions. Outside of the Works Zone hours the kerbside parking will revert to unrestricted parking.

The Car Share space will be temporarily relocated to Rosehill Street, Redfern. The Car Share operator will be notified about the new temporary location.

The street is wide enough to allow the Works Zone to be installed without affecting traffic flow or property access.

Accredited Traffic Controllers will manage vehicular entering or exiting the Works Zone as well as pedestrian movements at the nearby Shared Zone at the corner of Cornwallis Street.

Consultation

The applicant must notify adjacent properties at least 14 days prior to the implementation of the Works Zone.

Financial

All costs associated with the Works Zone will be borne by the Applicant.
