Traffic Committee
Proposed changes to traffic or parking arrangements in the area are initially assessed by our Traffic team. If deemed necessary, recommendations are then presented to the Local Traffic Committee for review.
The Traffic Committee is a technical committee made up of agency representatives such as Transport for NSW, NSW Police and Sydney Buses as well as a Councillor and a representative on behalf of the Local Member.
Meetings are held bi-monthly on the third Tuesday of the month.
The Lane Cove Traffic Committee meetings for 2025 will be held on:
- Tuesday 18 February 2025
- Tuesday 18 March 2025
- Tuesday 20 May 2025
- Tuesday 15 July 2025
- Tuesday 16 September 2025
- Tuesday 18 November 2025
The Agenda is released the week prior andwill be available below by clicking the Agenda link in the right hand column.
Please note, the Lane Cove Traffic Committee is primarily a technical review committee, which is required to advise the Council on matters referred to it by Council. These matters must be related to prescribed traffic control devices and traffic control facilities for which Council has delegated authority.
The outcomes of the meeting are reported to the next Ordinary Council Meeting where Council can review and consider adopting the recommendations.
Providing feedback on Agenda items
Where a proposal involves the loss of parking spaces (e.g., No Parking, No Stopping, Loading Zone, and Time-Restricted Parking), the installation of traffic devices (e.g., speed cushions, raised thresholds, and roundabouts) or significant impact then Council will undertake targeted notifications to seek feedback to assist with the preparation of the report to the Traffic Committee. Residents who wish to provide feedback during this time are welcome to do so via the notification letter link to our online Have Your Say section of the website. Low impact facilities or regulatory signposting and line markings typically do not require notification.
The role of the Local Traffic Committee is to consider the technical aspects of any proposal and make a recommendation to the Council. The merits of the scheme, from a public perspective, is the responsibility of the Council and thus residents’ views should be taken into account by the Council rather than through the Traffic Committee.
Residents of Lane Cove can however register to speak at our Traffic Committee meetings if there is a matter on the Traffic Committee Agenda they wish to discuss. To register to speak, please complete the survey by 12 noon the day prior to the meeting.
Alternatively, residents can make a submission to Council or register to address Council on the matter when it appears on the Council Agenda at the following Council meeting.
If you have general feedback on a local traffic matter which does not appear on the Agenda then we encourage you to email service@lanecove.nsw.gov.au with the details to assist the Traffic team in assessing the matter. If deemed necessary, recommendations are then presented to the Local Traffic Committee for review.
