Shoalhaven Traffic Committee – Tuesday 13 October 2020 Page 4 TC20.38 Proposed Roundabout - Illowra Lane - Booderee Avenue - Hyams Beach (PN 3608) HPERM Ref: D20/435270 Convenor: Micaiah Tipton Attachments: 1. PN 3608 Plans ⇩ Recommendation That the Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee has no objection to the proposed roundabout and associated signage and linemarking at the intersection of Booderee Avenue and Illowra Lane, Hyams Beach, as per the attached Plan No: D20/436198. Background Council is proposing to install a roundabout at the intersection of Booderee Avenue with Illowra Lane. The history behind this proposal is related to the traffic issues faced by Hyams Beach during TC20.38 peak holiday periods. Hyams Beach village has a small and somewhat narrow urban road network with a single road access (Booderee Avenue) in and out. Therefore, when visitations are high, the road network can become choked and Grid Lock can be experienced. This creates unacceptable impacts on residential and visitor amenity, i.e. “road rage”, and emergency vehicle lockout. Currently in situations where the village is required to be closed and/or vetting of entry is required (due to overcrowding in Hyams Beach) Council erects a temporary roundabout under traffic management at the intersection of Naval College Rd and Booderee Ave. This location is currently utilised because the existing road reserve is wide enough to set up temporary water barriers to act as a roundabout under a reduced speed environment. This practice takes substantial planning to implement and forces long lengths of traffic to queue on Naval College Rd and affects through access to the Jervis Bay Territory (southbound) or back to Vincentia for traffic headed northbound. At its meeting 10 March 2020, Council resolved (MIN20.170): That Council: 1. Adopts the Illowra Lane and Booderee Avenue intersection as its preferred roundabout option for managing congestion at Hyams Beach in combination with a Seagull Treatment at Naval College Road and Booderee Avenue to provide safer access to and from the Village as provided in Option 3 – D19/390874. 2. Allocates $140,000 in the 2020/21 draft budget for the design of the intersections of both Naval College Road and Illowra Lane with Booderee Avenue. 3. Undertakes minor grading and sealing works at the intersection of Booderee Avenue and Illowra Lane to allow for a temporary roundabout to be established at this location in the interim for the 2020/21 summer, instead of the Naval College Road intersection, until the permanent infrastructure can be established. 4. Notes that traffic management will still be necessary in peak periods even with roundabout/s in place. Shoalhaven Traffic Committee – Tuesday 13 October 2020 Page 5 CARRIED Plans for the roundabout design as listed in Resolution 2 of MIN20.170 have been prepared and presented here for the Committee’s consideration. Details of Submission The extent of this proposal involves the installation of regulatory signs and linemarking, associated with the roundabout.
