Laneway closure request

A proposal for a midblock closure of the unnamed laneway at the rear of Brisbane Ave, Umina, which travels between Bathurst St and Perth St, will be advertised for comment and a letter box drop will be carried out to all affected residents.

A local resident requested the closure of the unnamed laneway to through traffic due to concern that motorists were driving through the laneway at inappropriate speeds and had, on occasion, crashed into the rear fence of properties in Brisbane Ave.

The resident also stated that a couple of neighbours supported this request.

Council's crash database has shown no reported crashes within the laneway between 1996 and 2010 inclusive.
