Decisions
Traffic management plan supported for Triathlon Huskisson 2026
The Forum reviewed TMP No. D26/317170 and associated traffic guidance schemes and recommended approval under delegated authority. The Director City Services approved the recommendation on 1 October 2026.
The plan sets out how traffic and participant movements will be managed during the event.
Paid parking investigation progressed
Council resolved to undertake a community survey about demand for a business case examining paid parking for non-residents at selected locations in Huskisson, Berry, Hyams Beach and Mollymook. The required studies and business case are estimated to cost $150,000 and are not funded in the 2026/27 budget. A further report must return with the survey results and later with the study, strategy and business-case findings before any implementation decision.
Visitors and residents may be affected by future parking charges, but no paid parking scheme has yet been adopted.
Paid parking business case expanded
Council asked the CEO to update the paid parking report, include Mollymook Beach Car Park, Huskisson car parks, Hyams Beach on-street parking and Boongaree Park Car Park Berry, and bring back a preliminary report in August 2026 for possible non-resident paid parking from December 2026.
Could lead to new parking charges in major visitor areas and affect tourism, local access and parking management.
