Decisions
New parking restrictions approved for Precinct 75 redevelopment
The final signage and line-marking plan for new No Parking restrictions on Mary Street and Edith Street, St Peters, associated with the Precinct 75 redevelopment (SSD82639959), was approved. The applicant must pay installation costs under Council’s Fees and Charges, notify affected residents before installation, and reinstate existing signage and line marking after the works. Mary Street restrictions will be reviewed approximately 12 months after implementation.

Victoria Road pedestrian crossing not supported at present
A proposed pedestrian crossing between Sydenham Road and Chalder Street, Marrickville, was not supported because pedestrian and vehicle volumes did not meet Council or Transport for NSW warrants. Traffic data and possible treatments will be reviewed, with a further report planned towards the end of 2027, including potential developer contributions.
No crossing will be installed now, although safety options and traffic conditions are scheduled for later review.
On-street bicycle parking approved at multiple locations
Bicycle Parking Only signs and line marking were approved at identified sites including Norton Street, Leichhardt; Darling Street, Balmain; Hastings Street and Enfield Street, Marrickville; and other locations across the LGA. The measure is intended to reduce footpath clutter and formalise shared-bike operator responsibilities.

Sydney Street Fair road closure approved

Capital works pathway supported for Robert Street active transport route
A separated pedestrian and cycle path on the northern side of Robert Street between Mullens Street and Buchanan Street, Rozelle, including kerb extensions and raised crossings, was supported for inclusion in the Capital Works program subject to detailed design and community consultation. Council will continue pursuing a longer-term southern-side path and seek a response from the Port Authority.
