At the Council Meeting held on 20 September 2017, the following recommendation was adopted:

“That the Bega Valley Local Traffic Committee at their next meeting consider 3 hour car parking for the following areas Main Street west of Market Street, Merimbula Drive west of Market Street and the east side of Sapphire Coast Drive from Main Street to Merimbula Drive for a period until completion of construction in Main Street.”

Outcome

Lumen Christi, Pambula Beach Road, Pambula Beach – Proposed No Stopping Zone

All members of the Local Traffic Committee have confirmed that their position has not changed.

Local Traffic Committees operate under delegation from NSW Roads and Maritime Services, who are responsible for traffic control on all New South Wales roads. Advice received from NSW Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is as follows:

“The recommendation that the Local Traffic Committee (LTC) made in May cannot be changed, that recommendation still stands as the most current recommendation from LTC.

If Council wish to add a new item for recommendation to the next LTC, we can then review this then. Please note that it would have to be a change from the current traffic regulation to become an item.”

Three hour parking, Merimbula

At the Bega Valley Local Traffic Committee Meeting held on 4 October 2017, the Committee agreed that their position on 3 hour parking had not changed and made the following recommendation:

“1.       Views of the Local Traffic Committee have not changed.

2.         A brief be presented to the Council to advise the possible impacts of 3 hour parking on the Merimbula businesses owners and community. Brief to include research data and examples of parking plans from other local shires. Peter Newton and Jason Deller to develop a brief and then pass through Local Traffic Committee for approval.

3.         Full review of parking and traffic management in Merimbula following completion of major construction.”
