Woollahra Local Transport Forum - 23 June 2026

Topics

• Cranbrook Road safety upgrade backed but delayed until 2028
  Council supports a pedestrian refuge and kerb extensions at the Bellevue Hill intersection but will not act before the development consent deadline or physical commencement.
  Residents receive a clear signal on a proposed safety project, but the improvement is not an immediate construction commitment.
• Wallis Street shared path set for new signs and markings
  Council plans a package of Shared Path and Shared Path End signs, logos and line marking along Wallis Street.
  The works affect how cyclists and pedestrians navigate a busy local shared path and are intended to bring it into line with current standards.
• Motorbike-only parking plan near Edgecliff Road property rejected
  Council will not introduce a proposed 3.2-metre Motor Bike Only parking restriction near No. 420 Edgecliff Road.
  The decision preserves the current parking approach at a specific Edgecliff Road location and responds to a proposed change in road-space allocation.

Decisions

• Cranbrook Road intersection improvements deferred
  Council approved in principle traffic-calming measures, including a pedestrian refuge with kerb extensions at Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill. No action is to occur before the development consent expires on 12 April 2028 or physical commencement occurs, whichever is sooner.
  The safety project is supported in principle but implementation is deferred while the related development consent remains active.
• Wallis Street shared-path signs and markings
  Council proposed installing and replacing Shared Path signs, adding Shared Path End signs, and installing shared-path logos and line marking on Wallis Street to align with current Australian Standards, Austroads guidance and the TfNSW Design Toolbox.
  Cyclists and pedestrians should receive clearer shared-path guidance and improved markings.
• Motorbike-only parking proposal rejected
  Council resolved not to proceed with proposed 3.2-metre Motor Bike Only parking restrictions on the western side of Edgecliff Road near No. 420.
  The existing parking arrangement at this location will not be changed to create a motorbike-only space under this proposal.
• Redundant mobility parking spaces replaced
  Council approved extending 2P parking with permit-holder exemptions on Jersey Road near No. 112, Paddington, and reinstating unrestricted parking on Cambridge Avenue near No. 14, Vaucluse.
  Parking controls will change in two areas following the removal of redundant mobility parking spaces.

Discussion

• Cranbrook Road traffic-calming project
  A pedestrian refuge with kerb extensions at the Victoria Road intersection was supported in principle, but the recommendation delays action until the associated development consent expires on 12 April 2028 or physical commencement occurs.
  Residents may see a future safety treatment, but construction is not immediate.
• Wallis Street shared-path compliance works
  Signage, end signs, logos and line marking are proposed along Wallis Street between Ocean Street and Woods Lane, including near No. 98 Wallis Street.
  The changes aim to clarify how pedestrians and cyclists should use the shared path.
• Edgecliff Road parking restrictions
  The forum recommended against introducing a 3.2-metre Motor Bike Only zone near No. 420 Edgecliff Road.
  General parking is not being replaced by the proposed motorbike-only restriction at this site.
• Parking changes after mobility-space removal
  Parking controls will be adjusted on Jersey Road in Paddington and Cambridge Avenue in Vaucluse after redundant mobility parking spaces are removed.
  Local residents and visitors will see different parking availability and restrictions at both locations.

Impacts

• A future pedestrian refuge and kerb extensions are supported in principle at Cranbrook Road and Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill, but works are deferred.
• Wallis Street shared-path signs and markings are proposed to improve clarity and compliance with current design standards.
• A proposed motorbike-only parking restriction near 420 Edgecliff Road will not proceed.
• Permit-holder-excepted 2P restrictions will be extended near 112 Jersey Road, Paddington.
