MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

9.1      Lord Mayor Reynolds - Elizabeth Street Bus Mall - Street Closure

Question:    Could the Director please provide information on the following points in relation to the road closure on the left hand side of the Elizabeth Street Bus Mall:

(i)      Is the road closure on the left hand side of the Elizabeth Street Bus Mall due to the current construction of the proposed hotel?

(ii)     When does the road closure permit expire?

(iii)    Is the developer paying the road closure fees for the full portion of road closure on the left hand side of the Elizabeth Street Bus Mall?

(iv)    Is the road closure impacting on surrounding business being able to receive deliveries?

Answer:       The Director City Planning together with the Manager Traffic Engineering advised that the current road closure in place on the left side of the Elizabeth Street Bus Mall is due to the construction of the hotel and at this stage will remain in place until the end of 2019 as per the issued permit.  The road closure is required due to truck movements in and out of the site and large concrete panels being positioned into place as part of the construction.  The developer is not paying hoarding costs for the full closed section of the Elizabeth Street Bus Mall, only for the portion coinciding with the construction site.  The Manager Traffic Engineering also advised that business deliveries were not being effected as restricted access into the Elizabeth Street Bus Mall is in place at all times, even when the road closure is not in place.    

9.2      Alderman Behrakis - Sandy Bay Road and Queen Street Intersection

Question:    Could the Director please advise if there is any scope to install a ‘no right turn’ sign at the Sandy Bay Road and Queen Street intersection due to the high number of traffic movements onto Sandy Bay Road, especially during peak hour, as vehicles can be backed up to the Regent Street intersection?

Answer:    The Director City Planning took the question on notice.
