Study process
In 2023-2024 Council will conduct a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study in the Newmarket precinct.
Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) is a study process which involves the following steps:
- Initial Community Consultation and Engagement: All property occupants and owners in the precinct will be sent a letter inviting them to provide feedback to Council on issues, concerns and opportunities regarding traffic and parking within the precinct.
- Data Collection: A review of the existing traffic and parking conditions including road hierarchy, land use, public transport routes, existing traffic management, traffic and parking survey information and crash history will be conducted.
- Draft LATM Plans: A draft Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and draft Parking Management Plan (PMP) is developed.
- Additional Community Consultation and Engagement: The draft TMP and PMP are circulated to all property occupants and owners in the precinct, requesting feedback on the draft proposals.
- Final LATM Plans: A final Traffic Management Plan and final Parking Management Plan is developed, and approved at a public Council meeting.
- Community Update: All property occupants and owners in the precinct are advised of the final outcomes.
Update
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the draft plans for the Newmarket LATM. From these we developed the final report and plans which were presented to Council meetings on 27th August and 10th September 2024 for endorsement. The Traffic Management Plan was endorsed, but approval of the Parking Management Plan was deferred until after the Council election.
You can see the endorsed Traffic Management Plan on our YourSay page and read the Council report on our Council meetings page.
