Local Transport Forum - 10 Feb 2026

Topics

• Morning turning restriction proposed for Barker Street at Maud Street
  Local traffic committee notes a peak-hour no-right-turn proposal after resident concern.
  Could change morning driving patterns and improve safety/congestion at a busy Randwick intersection.
• Greek Orthodox Easter road closures set to affect buses and local access
  Forum imposed notification and traffic-management conditions on a major event closure linked to St Spyridon Parish.
  Residents, businesses and bus users may face disruptions in April 2026.

Decisions

• Barker Street at Maud Street peak-hour turning restriction
  The forum noted a proposal to introduce a westbound turning restriction on Barker Street into Maud Street, signed as 'No Right Turn, Mon–Fri 7am–9am'. The resident also asked that Hay Lane be investigated for a similar restriction.
  Could change local traffic flow and reduce morning peak congestion and unsafe turning movements in Randwick.
• Greek Orthodox Easter 2026 road closures at St Spyridon Parish
  The forum received the event traffic management report and required organisers to notify nearby businesses and residents, liaise with Transport for NSW for a Road Occupancy Licence, inform the CBD Coordination Office, provide traffic control equipment for police, advise locals about limited bus movements, and notify Bayside Council.
  Affects road access, bus services and local notification for residents and businesses near the event closures.

Discussion

• Post-facto traffic and parking changes across multiple suburbs
  The forum received a series of information-only items covering no stopping, no parking, bus zone, MIPPS, stop control, line marking and timed parking changes across Randwick, Coogee, Kingsford, Chifley, Clovelly, Maroubra, Malabar and Kensington.
  These works affect kerbside parking, local access and road safety in several neighbourhoods.
• The Spot pedestrian crossing request on Perouse Road
  A resident asked for an additional pedestrian crossing at The Spot precinct on Perouse Road, but officers said the matter had already been investigated in February 2025 and the position remains unchanged.
  Residents and visitors to The Spot should not expect a new crossing as part of the current upgrade.
• Active transport and cycleway update redirected to CABFAC
  An update on the active transport and cycleway program was requested, but the forum said it is not considered by this body because it sits with CABFAC.
  Signals that cycleway-related decisions will be handled elsewhere, not by this forum.
• Transport for NSW-funded projects report request noted
  A resident asked for a review of the inclusion of the Transport for NSW-funded projects report, and the request was noted.
  May affect future public reporting on externally funded transport works.

Impacts

• Possible morning peak turning restriction on Barker Street may change access patterns for local motorists.
• Parking and signage changes may alter on-street parking availability in several suburbs.
• Temporary event road closures at St Spyridon Parish may affect bus routes, local access and nearby residents/businesses.
• No additional pedestrian crossing will be added at The Spot precinct as part of the intersection upgrade.
• Cycleway and active transport matters will not be progressed through this forum.
