Local Transport Forum - 12 Aug 2026

Decisions

• Traffic-control authorisations noted
  The Forum noted advice on Council Delegate traffic-control authorisations 2026-04-01, 2026-05-01 and 2026-07-01.
  The authorisations support traffic-management arrangements, but the minutes do not identify specific locations or changes for residents.
• Outstanding resolutions and programmed works noted
  The Forum noted the Schedule of Outstanding Resolutions and that works linked to item 12/24-6.3 are programmed for this financial year.
  Further action is planned, but the minutes provide no timetable, cost or project description.
• Bruxner Highway speed-limit enquiry addressed
  The Forum recorded that Transport for NSW had responded to NSW Police about the 80 km/h speed limit for roadworks on the Bruxner Highway.
  The current speed-limit arrangements remain relevant to motorists using the roadworks section.

Discussion

• Bruxner Highway roadwork speed limit
  NSW Police asked about the 80 km/h speed limit applying to roadworks on the Bruxner Highway. Transport for NSW has responded to the enquiry, but the minutes do not state whether the limit will change.
  Drivers travelling through the roadworks area may be affected by the existing temporary speed limit and any subsequent advice from Transport for NSW.
• Traffic-control authorisations and programmed works
  The Forum noted prescribed traffic-control authorisations dated 1 April, 1 May and 1 July 2026. It also noted that works associated with item 12/24-6.3 are programmed for the current financial year.
  These authorisations and programmed works may affect traffic management and road conditions during the financial year, although no specific project details were provided.

Impacts

• Motorists using the Bruxner Highway roadworks area should continue to follow the applicable 80 km/h speed limit unless Transport for NSW issues different advice.
• Traffic-control works linked to an outstanding forum resolution are programmed for the 2026 financial year, but the minutes give no location, cost or timetable.
• No new transport policy, funding allocation or service change was recorded.

Next

• Transport for NSW response on the Bruxner Highway roadwork speed limit remains the relevant advice for motorists; no further action was specified in the minutes.
  Not stated
• Works associated with item 12/24-6.3 are scheduled to be carried out.
  During the 2026 financial year
• Hold the next Local Transport Forum meeting.
