Proposed Temporary Road Closures and No Stopping Restrictions in Jackson Street for The Hutt News Petone Rotary Fair (17/1433) Report No. TRC2017/4/242 by the Senior Traffic Engineer |
|
|
Cr Lewis declared a conflict of interest and took no part in voting or discussion on the matter. The Senior Traffic Engineer elaborated on the report. He highlighted the small amount of consultation feedback. The Traffic Asset Manager considered the amount of feedback seemed minor given the significance of the event. He advised that Petone Rotary had placed an advertisement in the Hutt News which provided an opportunity for feedback and allowed one week for responses. In response to questions from members, the Traffic Asset Manager considered full written stakeholder consultation was not conducted. He noted officers were committed to working more extensively with Petone Rotary in 2018, to ensure specific consultation requirements were met for the 2019 Petone Rotary Fair. In response to questions from members, the Senior Traffic Engineer noted guidance provided from officers for Petone Rotary to provide written proof of their consultation with the public and business owners. He advised officers supported the recommendations contained in the report. |
