Decisions
Robert Street walking and cycling path advanced
A northern separated pedestrian and cycle path on Robert Street was supported for inclusion in the Capital Works program, subject to detailed design and community consultation. The southern side remains the preferred long-term cycleway alignment.
The project could improve walking and cycling connections but will require further decisions about land ownership, parking, driveways and bus stops.
Dulwich Hill Festival closures supported
Temporary full road closures for the Dulwich Hill Festival on 20 September 2026 were supported, subject to the required temporary road closure application and conditions.
The closures will change local vehicle access, parking and traffic arrangements during the event.
Marrickville school parking controls approved
New school safety controls were approved outside St Brigid’s Catholic Primary School, including an illegal-footpath-blocking warning sign and an 18-metre No Stopping restriction.
The controls target afternoon pick-up safety and driveway access.
Morris Street parking expansion declined for now
The Morris Street resident parking scheme will not be extended to both sides of the street at this stage. A broader Summer Hill precinct parking review was requested.
No immediate restriction will be added to the currently unrestricted side of Morris Street.
Topics
Lords Road and Davies Street parking scheme deferred
The previous decision on the Lords Road and Davies Street resident parking scheme was deferred for further investigation and consultation on longer weekday hours, seven-day operation and one-hour parking on Davies Street.
Residents will have another opportunity to influence the proposed parking controls before a future report returns.
No Parking restriction approved near Francis Street and Fletcher Street
Council approved full-time No Parking restrictions on the eastern side of the cul-de-sac near Francis Street and Fletcher Street, with signage costs payable by the applicant.
The restriction is intended to maintain driveway and off-street parking access for nearby residences.
Short-stay spaces approved on John Street, Croydon
Council approved two short-stay parking spaces on John Street, Croydon, with ‘1/4P 7am-10am Monday-Saturday’ restrictions.
The spaces are intended to prevent vehicles illegally parking across driveways near Croydon Road.
Possible education campaign for honeycomb road markings
Council officers will consider an education campaign explaining honeycomb road markings on Illawarra Road and other high-pedestrian-activity streets.
The campaign could clarify that the markings signal a changed road environment but do not themselves impose a new legal speed limit.
