Parking limit not supported

Gosford Council's Traffic Committee has recommended council not accede to a resident's request that it impose a two-hour parking limit in Araluen Dr and Killcare Rd, Hardys Bay.

The traffic committee also voted, at its meeting of December 6, to take no action to bitumen seal two gravel areas at the intersection of Araluen Dr and Heath Rd to create parking.

As part of a submission about a proposed development, the resident requested that council enforce two hour parking in Araluen Dr and Killcare Rd, and bitumen seal two informal gravel parking areas to create 90 degree angle parking near the intersection of Araluen Dr and Heath Rd.

Council's Traffic Committee decided the existing parking arrangements were currently operating adequately and that a two hour limit was not needed.

A site inspection also revealed that the two gravel parking areas were not wide enough to provide angle parking without intruding into the waterfront reserve.
