Decision

The Committee carried the recommendation unanimously.

Background

Transport for NSW has requested consideration of the permanent road closure of Olivia Lane, Surry Hills from Nobbs Lane to Parkham Lane, to provide for light rail operations and safe pedestrian access.

Olivia Lane, between Nobbs Lane to Parkham Lane has been informally closed to traffic for over 40 years. The implementation of a light rail corridor across the laneway requires the formal implementation of the closure to traffic.
