Council has received a request from Alliance Project Group Pty Ltd (Alliance) for a 12 metre
Works Zone in front of 3 Winnie Street, Cremorne. The area is presently zoned ‘No Stopping’
due to the traffic lights at Military Road. The Works Zone forms part of the Construction
Management Plan (CMP) that has been approved by Council’s Planning and Development
Engineers.
Under Development Application Consent No 212/11 Alliance lodged a CMP, which has been
approved by Council’s Planning and Development Section Engineers. This approval calls for
a Works Zone of 12 metres in front of the property in the existing ‘No Stopping’ area.
The requested Works Zone is the only street frontage for the development and is required for
loading and unloading of deliveries to the site and for concrete pours. The Works Zone will be
required for 20 weeks, starting as soon as approval has been given.
Given the location of the site and the impact the Works Zone will have on the local area traffic,
the operating hours of the Works Zone will be reduced to 10.am to 2.30pm Monday to Friday
and 8.30am to 12.30pm Saturday. Any disruption of traffic is to occur outside of peak hours.
The 2.30pm cut off is due to the schools in the area and the increased volume of traffic they
create.
As this location is within close proximity to the traffic lights at Military Road, the developer is
required to obtain approval from the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) for the Works Zone
at this location.
All material and vehicles are to be removed from the area no later then 2.30 pm to ensure that
the roadway is clear for the afternoon peak hour traffic. If the company is not able to achieve
this then the Works Zone will be removed, under notice.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. Installation of the Works Zone for 3 Winnie Street is subject to the applicant paying all
appropriate Council advertised fees and charges, including the cost of the signage.
2. A Road Occupancy Licence is required from RMS for the duration of the Works Zone.
