Transpec Digest – Winter Edition 2012. 2. GTR – Government Technology Review – July August 2012 – Issue 13. 1208.11 NOTICE OF MOTIONS SUBMITTED BY COUNCILLORS Note from the General Manager: Council should note that for the purposes of budgetary control and planning, any Notices of Motion received and endorsed by Council, will be assessed for budgetary implications. If they cannot be achieved within existing allocations they will be referred to the Finance, Ethics & Strategic Planning Committee for its consideration of budget implications, in conjunction with the budget estimates or at a quarterly review of the budget. The report to Council about progress in achieving Council’s Motions will also highlight whether budget issues are involved. 1208.11.1 Lynch Avenue, Queens Park The following Notice of Motion was submitted by Cr Mora Main: “That Council requests a report be submitted to the Waverley Traffic Committee seeking advice on maximum load limits or vehicle size and length which should be applied to Lynch Avenue, Queens Park, and that the report include recommendations for implementation of suitable traffic measures. BACKGROUND The storage facility at 2c Queens Park Road is located between Queens Park Road and Lynch Avenue, Queens Park. Its primary vehicle access is via Lynch Avenue. This is a narrow lane running between Denison Street and Birrell Lane. The storage facility was approved many years ago, primarily for domestic storage purposes with deliveries and pick-ups using small vans and cars. Increasing commercial activity at the storage units has resulted in large trucks and other commercial vehicles arriving in the lane around the clock. Parking is restricted in Lynch Avenue to assist turning of vehicles into the private driveway. This does not solve the problem for overly long trucks which cannot manoeuvre into the private driveway to load and unload inside the building, as approved. They are unloading and loading in the lane, blocking normal residential access and causing damage to adjoining private property and to council’s road surface, kerbs and footpaths. Limiting the size of vehicles permitted to use this lane would assist in achieving better compliance with the intent of the approved storage use.” Waverley Council Meeting – Tuesday, 21 August 2012 4 1208.12 ADDITIONAL MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION 1208.12.1 PAGE 52 Waverley Audit Committee Bi-Annual Report (A09/1105) Report dated 19 July 2012 from the Chairperson, Waverley Audit Committee on the operations of the Waverley Audit Committee for the period November 2011 to May 2012 as required under the Audit Committee Charter.
