Edgecliff Road motorbike-only parking plan rejected in 6-0 vote

Motorbike riders will not receive a dedicated parking space near 420 Edgecliff Road after Woollahra Council voted 6-0 against a proposed 3.2-metre Motor Bike Only restriction. The restriction would have applied to the western side of Edgecliff Road, Woollahra.

The Finance, Community & Services Committee resolved not to proceed with the proposal on 13 July. Existing parking arrangements at the site will remain.

The decision was one of several transport matters considered by the committee. It also approved new shared-path signs, end signs, logos and line marking on Wallis Street, Woollahra.

An additional Shared Path sign will be installed east of Ocean Street. Existing signs stating that a bicycle lane continues along the footpath will be replaced with Shared Path signs near 98 Wallis Street and west of Woods Avenue. Shared Path End signs will also be installed at two locations.

The changes are intended to bring the shared path into line with Australian Standards, Austroads guides and the Transport for NSW Design Toolbox.

Parking controls will also change near 112 Jersey Road, Paddington. The existing 2P, 8am to 11pm, permit-holders-excepted restriction on the western side of Jersey Road will be extended to replace a redundant mobility-parking space. Unrestricted parking will be reinstated near 14 Cambridge Avenue, Vaucluse, for another redundant mobility-parking space.

The committee deferred an investigation into intersection improvements at Cranbrook Road and Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill, to the full Council meeting on 27 July 2026. Late correspondence will address whether increased student numbers at the school have triggered a development application.

The committee recommended that a draft concept design for the Cecil Street, Paddington to Trumper Park Flood Mitigation Project be publicly exhibited for 28 days. A further report will follow the exhibition and assessment of submissions.

It also recommended endorsement of the Guideline for Construction Traffic Management Plan (2026). If endorsed, Council's standard construction-traffic condition will be updated to list the information required under the guideline.
