Byron Shire Council
Local Traffic Committee - 3 Jun 2025 9:00 AM
The committee received an information report on recently completed traffic and parking works under delegated authority, mainly involving new signage and linemarking in Brunswick Heads and on Broken Head Reserve Road.
Key decisions
- Delegated traffic works reported as completed
Council presented Report No. 8.1 outlining traffic management and pedestrian works already carried out under temporary delegation from Transport for NSW, authorised by the General Manager.
Residents can expect these parking and traffic changes to already be in effect rather than pending approval. - Parking controls installed in Brunswick Heads
New parking signage and linemarking were installed at multiple locations around Brunswick Heads, with changes made in response to resident and parking enforcement feedback.
Drivers and nearby residents may see changed parking limits and marked parking arrangements in town. - Broken Head Reserve Road restrictions reinforced
Council installed new parking signage, 3P time limits for existing bays, and regulatory no stopping yellow line linemarking on Broken Head Reserve Road to address illegal verge parking and motorists ignoring existing restrictions.
Motorists on Broken Head Reserve Road face clearer parking limits and stronger no-stopping enforcement. - Accessibility-related parking area works noted
The extracted works list includes new signage and linemarking, relocated signage, new bollards, a pedestrian gutter bridge, and a footpath connection from a parking space to the existing footpath.
These works may improve safer access between parking and footpaths for pedestrians, including people with mobility needs.
Important topics
- Works undertaken under Transport for NSW delegation
The report summarised works completed by Council under a temporary delegation for traffic management and pedestrian works from Transport for NSW.
This explains why changes could be implemented administratively without a fresh committee decision at this meeting. - Response to complaints and enforcement feedback
The report states the parking changes were prompted by resident complaints, resident feedback, and parking enforcement feedback.
It shows local complaints directly influenced parking control changes.
