Traffic Committee

Randwick Traffic Committee

The Randwick Traffic Committee is a committee of Randwick City Council set up under a delegation from Transport for NSW (TfNSW), to deal with traffic matters on local roads.

A condition of the delegation from TfNSW is that the Council must take into account recommendations from the Traffic Committee. For information about the powers and functions of Traffic Committees go to this link.

Randwick Traffic Committee is held via MS Teams at 9:30am, on the second Tuesday of each month (except in January). A link to the upcoming Traffic Committee Agenda papers will be published on the Council’s Business Papers and Minutes page one week prior to the meeting. Once finalised a link to Minutes of the meeting will also be published on the same page.  Please note that it is the published Minutes which reflect the Traffic Committee’s final recommendations.

Any members of the community, wishing to make representations regarding a matter listed within the Traffic Committee Agenda, must email council@randwick.nsw.gov.au at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Details on how to join the meeting would then be provided.

Randwick Traffic Committee is a Committee of Randwick City Council.  Accordingly, all participants are expected to comply with the Council's Code of Conduct Policy PDF, 390.18 KB.  Please note that all Traffic Committee meetings are recorded.

The four permanent voting members of the Traffic Committee are representatives from:

  • NSW Police
  • Transport for NSW (TfNSW)
  • Local State Member of Parliament for the location of the specific agenda item
  • Randwick City Council.

Decisions

Only permanent members have a vote on Traffic Committee recommendations and each vote has equal weight.

Appeals

Only permanent members have the right to appeal a decision.

If the Local Member disagrees with any of the Traffic Committee recommendations, they may appeal to TfNSW or the Minister for Roads.

If the Police or TfNSW disagrees with any of the Traffic Committee recommendations, or with the Council's resolution on any Traffic Committee recommendation, they may lodge an appeal with the Sydney Regional Traffic Committee for determination.  The Sydney Regional Traffic Committee is chaired by an independent chairperson.

Appeals by Traffic Committee members must be lodged, in writing, within 14 days of them receiving notification of the Council's decision on a recommendation. Action on an issue under appeal will be paused until the matter is determined.
