Group/Agency Correspondence Concern/Comment Response
The Departments comments of 30 March 2010 indicated that
no details have been provided as to the measures to be
employed where total road closures are required and detours
not a viable option. It is noted that a footnote has been inserted
under Table 5.1 which states that “should total road closure be
necessary, the duration of the road closure will be less than 15
minutes.” Please confirm that this outcome has been presented
to, and is acceptable to, the relevant road authorities and
emergency services.
Potential road closures are primary concern of most
stakeholders with notification primary concern. Responsibility
to notify the relevant stakeholders is detailed in Table 4.1.
Prior to any road closures a Traffic Control Plan will be
prepared in consultation with RTA and affected Local Council.
Closures of Pacific and Bruxner Highway will also include
development of Vehicle Management Plan as recommended
by Ballina Council. Once any road closures are deemed
necessary, these plans will be developed. Annex A details

cooperation with the RTA and local councils.
