Purpose:

The Highway Regulation Committee considered a report regarding the objection received to the proposed introduction of traffic calming measures on Pretoria Road, Hollinwood. A report recommending the introduction of traffic calming measures was approved under delegated powers on 12 March 2024. The proposal was subsequently advertised, and one objection was received. A copy of the approved report was attached at Appendix A and a copy of the objection was attached in Appendix B. In summary, the objector stated that he will not be able to park his vehicle outside his property if the speed cushions were installed at the proposed location.
Officers did not accept this objection as there were no proposals to introduce a parking restriction as part of this traffic calming scheme. The objector may park on the speed cushion if required.
