Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation

Background

Robert Plumb Fix has requested a 10 metre long Works Zone in Bourke Street, Surry Hills.

The Works Zone is to facilitate construction works at 448A Bourke Street, Surry Hills.

Comments

The kerb space on the eastern side of Bourke Street, Surry Hills south of Bennett Place and is currently signposted as “2P 8am-10pm, Permit Holders Excepted Area 18”.

The Works Zone is intended to operate from 7.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 7.30am to 3.30pm Saturday in accordance with the Development Consent Conditions. After the Works Zone hours the kerb space will revert to “2P 5.30pm-10pm Mon-Fri, 3.30pm-10pm Sat, 8am-10pm Sun”.

The street is wide enough to allow the Works Zone to be installed without affecting traffic flow or property access.

The properties in Bourke Street have small frontages therefore, the proposed works zone will also be across the frontage of neighbouring properties.

Consultation

The applicant must notify adjacent properties at least 14 days prior to the implementation of the Works Zone.

Financial

All costs associated with the Works Zone will be borne by the Applicant.
