Recommendation

It is recommended that the Committee endorse the allocation of parking on the eastern footpath of Sussex Street, Sydney, between the points 20 metres and 45 metres north of Bathurst Street as "Works Zone 7am-5pm Mon-Sat", subject to the following conditions:

(A)      The Applicant must comply with the Works Zone conditions as stipulated in Schedule C of this agenda.

(B)      The Applicant must obtain separate approval from the City's Tree Management Team prior to implementation of the Works Zone.

(C)      The Applicant is not permitted to operate any part of a crane over a public road or hoist/swing goods from a Works Zone across or over any part of a public road by means of a lift, hoist or crane unless a separate approval has been obtained from the City's Construction and Building Certification Services Unit as required under Section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993 and Section 138 of the Roads Act 1993.

(D)      Works for major transport projects, such as the CBD and South-East Light Rail (CSELR) project and the Sydney City Centre Access Strategy, are currently being undertaken in the City’s Local Government Area and have priority access and use rights over City owned or controlled land including roads and footpaths. The City may at any time, and with at least one business days’ notice to the Applicant, revoke, suspend or restrict the Works Zone:

(i)         if the Works Zone is required for a major transport project; or

(ii)        is impracticable due to changes arising from a major transport project, such as traffic diversions; or

The Applicant must make their own enquiries, on a regular basis, about the potential impact of major transport projects on the Works Zone and the construction program for its development site.

(E)      The Applicant must temporarily remove the kerb and footpath so that an indented Works Zone on the footpath can be installed. The removed kerb must be delivered undamaged and stored at the City’s Depot. At the completion of the project, the Applicant must reinstate the original kerb and footpath to the satisfaction of the City.

(F)       The Applicant must notify adjacent properties of the Works Zone at least 14 days prior to installation.

(G)      The Applicant must provide a telephone number of the Site Manager.

Decision

The Committee carried the recommendation unanimously.

Background

On 13 December 2017, the committee endorsed a Works Zone in Sussex Street, Sydney, between Bathurst Street and Druitt Lane.

Following the installation of the Works Zone, an on-site meeting was held with representatives from the City, Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), Sydney Coordination Office (SCO) and the applicant to review the operation of the Works Zone. At the site meeting it was agreed to investigate installing the Works Zone on the eastern footpath of Sussex Street to reduce the impact on traffic.

The Works Zone is to facilitate construction works at 286-296 Sussex Street, for a period of approximately 86 weeks.
