Council’s Public Safety and Lifeguard’s Unit found that they were unable to take action against a number of passenger vehicles without boat trailers as the existing parking controls applied only to vehicles with trailers. The Bonna Point Reserve area has recently become very popular with the general public, leading to illegal parking in spaces specially design for vehicles with boat trailers, including the boat prep and wash areas. Parking controls therefore have to be as restrictive as possible to deter this behaviour. As the intent of the existing parking controls was clearly to prevent the parking of vehicles without boat trailers, Council has replaced the existing ‘¼ P VEHICLES WITH TRAILERS ATTACHED ONLY’ signs with ‘NO PARKING VEHICLES WITH BOAT TRAILERS EXCEPTED’ signs with a 15 minute maximum limit. REPORT RECOMMENDATION THAT: The report ‘Bonna Point Reserve, Kurnell - Modify Existing Parking Controls at Boat Ramp’ be received and noted. Page 15 Consultative Traffic Forum 5 March 2021 21 LOCATION - Bonna Point Reserve, Kurnell, parallel parking spaces immediately adjacent the boat ramp. (Cronulla Electorate) CTF003 ISSUES Existing parking controls are “permissive”, thereby creating an enforcement loop hole. High demand for parking of vehicles with boat trailers attached for preparation before launching and washing afterwards. High demand for parking of general public vehicles, resulting in illegal parking in areas intended for vehicles with boat trailers. PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEE (Not applicable). COMMENTS BY INVESTIGATING OFFICER A concern was raised by Council’s Public Safety & Lifeguards Unit with the existing parking controls in the boat preparation and wash down parking areas at the Bonna Point Reserve boat ramp. The Authorised Officers were unable to take action against a number of vehicles parked without boat trailers attached. The existing ‘¼ P VEHICLES WITH TRAILERS ATTACHED ONLY’ signs are “permissive”, i.e. it permits vehicles with trailers to park for up to 15 minutes. All other vehicles are not restricted by the existing signs. These 15 minute parking limits were installed in 2014, as part of the upgrade of this area under the NSW Government’s “Better Boating” grant programme. Council’s Public Safety & Lifeguards Unit advised that if the signs were restrictive “No Parking; vehicles with trailers excepted” with a supplementary “15 Minutes” limit, they could enforce other vehicles parking in the boat preparation and wash down spaces because they would be disobeying a No Parking sign (Rule 168), and vehicles with trailers would have a 15 minute limit that could also be enforced under Rule 168 (3)(a). Since the intent of the existing parking controls is clear, Council is modifying the signs to ‘NO PARKING VEHICLES WITH BOAT TRAILERS EXCEPTED 15 MINUTES MAXIMUM’, to assist with enforcement. A plan of the modified signposting is attached for comment. Approvals This matter is referred to the Traffic Consultative Forum for traffic engineering advice.

File Number: 2019/360184 (CR20-463451, CR20-466751) Page 17 Consultative Traffic Forum 5 March 2021 21 21 Appendix A - CTF003 Page 18 Consultative Traffic Forum 5 March 2021 21 CTF004-21 PARKING AT NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRES - Attachments: Nil CTF004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Neighbourhood centres typically consist of long-standing business premises, located on busier roads, surrounded by low-density residential development, and can include parking controls for intersections, mailboxes, bus stops, pedestrian crossings and driveways. This leaves little remaining kerbside parking space other users and the problem is aggravated at locations that have cafes, are located near schools or use existing buildings with no onsite parking. Consequently, a disproportionate number of parking concerns are raised at neighbourhood centres. Whilst some measures are available to provide some relief, it is envisaged that parking will remain an ongoing issue to some degree at most neighbourhood centres.
