Background

Paynter Dixon has applied for the temporary road closure of Barcom Avenue, Darlinghurst between Oxford Street and West Street, (two lanes), from 6am on Saturday 26 November 2022 to 6pm on Sunday 27 November 2022.

Comments

The proposed temporary road closure is required to allow a mobile crane to be used for the installation of a tower crane onto St Vincent's Hospital.

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.
