Ku-ring-gai Local Transport Forum - 19 Aug 2026 9:00 AM

Topics

• Killara drivers face proposed 24-hour no-right-turn restriction
  The Local Transport Forum backed replacing weekday peak-hour restrictions with a full-time ban on right turns from Fiddens Wharf Road onto Pacific Highway.
  The change would apply around the clock and alter a key local intersection for drivers.
• Get NSW Active funding secured for Eton Road pedestrian crossing
  A pedestrian crossing project on Eton Road has secured funding through the Get NSW Active Program.
  The project could improve pedestrian safety, but the minutes do not state when construction will begin.
• Safety barrier project at Woodbury Road and Mona Vale Road reaches funded design stage
  Transport for NSW has secured funding to design a proposed safety barrier at the Woodbury Road–Mona Vale Road intersection.
  The project has passed an initial funding milestone, while construction remains undecided or unscheduled.

Decisions

• Full-time no-right-turn restriction at Fiddens Wharf Road
  The Forum recommended replacing the existing weekday peak-period no-right-turn restrictions at Fiddens Wharf Road and Pacific Highway, Killara, with a full-time restriction under Plan Fiddens/LTF/08/26.
  Drivers will no longer be able to turn right at this intersection at any time, subject to implementation by the relevant road authority.

Discussion

• Lindfield College safety signage
  Council’s Road Safety Officer will investigate installing corflute signs for Lindfield College.
  The investigation may lead to additional safety signage near the college.
• Eton Road pedestrian crossing
  Funding has been secured through the Get NSW Active Program for a pedestrian crossing on Eton Road.
  The funded project is intended to improve pedestrian safety, although the minutes do not provide a construction timetable.
• Woodbury Road and Mona Vale Road safety barrier
  Transport for NSW confirmed funding for the design phase of a proposed safety barrier at the intersection of Woodbury Road and Mona Vale Road.
  The project has progressed to design, but construction timing and final scope remain unclear.
• Tour De PIF Sydney 2026 approval process
  Council officers had worked with the organiser since April 2026, but required event documentation was not received until mid-August. Transport for NSW and Ku-ring-gai Police are aware of the event, and police will attend on the day.
  Event planning and traffic management may affect local road users, with police attendance planned for event operations.
• Proposed pedestrian crossing on Avon Road
  A crossing proposed near Gate 3 remains unresolved. The Forum noted that higher pedestrian activity near the bend beside No. 1 Avon Road may make that location more suitable, and community consultation will be undertaken.
  Residents will have an opportunity to comment on the possible crossing location.

Impacts

• A full-time no-right-turn restriction is proposed at Fiddens Wharf Road and Pacific Highway, Killara.
• Pedestrian safety projects are progressing on Eton Road and at the Woodbury Road–Mona Vale Road intersection.
• Community feedback will be sought on a possible pedestrian crossing location on Avon Road, Pymble.
• The Tour De PIF Sydney 2026 event may create local traffic and access impacts, with police attendance planned.
