Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

George Street, The Rocks, between Argyle and Globe Streets, was presented to the LPCTCC and the CSTTC and approved on a month to month basis from 8 July 2020 in support for businesses and tenants during the COVID-19 response.

On 17 July 2020, Place Management NSW submitted a request to the LPCTCC for out of session approval to extend this northbound closure until 3 August 2020. The City of Sydney, NSW Police, Transport NSW and the Representative for the Member for Sydney advised no objection to the continuation of this arrangement on a month to month basis.

This proposal is for the:

·                Closed northbound carriageway closure of George St, The Rocks between Globe Street and Argyle Street until 30 April 2021.

·                Parking, loading zone and mail zone changes on the western side of George Street between Argyle St and Globe St until 30 April 2021.

NOTES:

PMNSW will following consultation with Port Authority NSW and TfNSW, agree to remove the George St closure if the Overseas Passenger Terminal cruise vessel operations is returning and other traffic management alternatives cannot be negotiated, scaled back or successfully resolved with TfNSW, Police and Port Authority.
