Background

TOBCO has applied for the temporary road closure of Marian Street, Redfern, between Gibbons Street and Regent Street (two lanes), at the following times:

·         24 hours from 28 May 2023 to 7 June 2023 and from 19 July 2023 to 26 July 2023; and

Comments

The proposed temporary road closure is required to carry out works to install traffic signals on Gibbons Street and Regent Street and continuous footpath treatments in Marian Street.

The Applicant has provided a site-specific Traffic Guidance Scheme 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 during the same time 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.

Consultation

The Applicant will be required to notify affected stakeholders as stipulated in Schedule B.

Financial

All costs associated with the proposed closures will be borne by the applicant.
