At the request of Cr Duffy, the Director Technical Services gave an overview of this report

 

Cr Duffy asked for confirmation that the areas marked in pink on the diagram were going to State Government, the blue and green were coming back under Council’s control

Director Technical Services responded by saying yes that is correct

 

Cr McDonell asked when the State Government takes over the Northern Distributor Road how will that impact the North Orange, Telopea way possible roundabout construction, will Council need to lobby the State Government to do works in that area

Director Technical Services answered by saying that Council will still have control, Council has local roads that feed into that area but ultimately decision rests with State Government. Council has a Works Authorisation Deed which means Council can perform works on that intersection under this Deed

 

Cr Mileto asked if the State Government take over the Northern Distributor Road when would Council expect to see improvements to this road

Director Technical Services answered by saying there was no definitive date on takeover, there is a process involved and while that is ongoing we will maintain the service of the road

 

Cr Mileto asked with regards to the road and work not undertaken by Orange City Council is there warranty on that work (ie. on the southern side of NDR)

Director Technical Services commented that all works undertaken previous to the past 4 years  would be beyond the statutes of limitations under those contracts, this is normally 5 years

 

Cr Floyd asked when the State Government takes over roads like the Northern Distributor Road are they responsible for clearing edges of roads, drainage etc or does this fall back to Council

Director Technical Services commented that it was different in different areas – rural areas they are responsible from fence to fence, urban areas Council is responsible for fog line out, they don’t maintain parking lanes as such

 

Cr Peterson asked with the Southern Feeder Road that is currently being built, is that going to be State Government road, what is the process for that

Director Technical Services – Table 2 is what we are proposing as our next stage of this process, it is the second part of the road re-classification review and we are asking Councillors to endorse Table 2 as we are putting forward that section of the SFR that Council has not built yet because it will form the link from Anson St through to Shiralee Rd and from Shiralee Rd connecting onto Woodward Street, so the SFR including the first section completed (Mitchell Hwy to Forest Road – also a regional road) will be part of it and the section from Forest Rd to Woodward St and Coronation Drive is being nominated in Table 2 as a regional road and would form part of Council’s submission to the State

 

MATTER ARISING                                                                           Cr J Whitton/Cr K Duffy

That a report be brought back to Council detailing the process of renaming the Northern Distributor Road after the late Cr Glenn Taylor.

 


 

 

MATTER ARISING                                                                                                     Cr K Duffy

That Council invite the Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional NSW, Minister for Police, Paul Toole to Orange to meet with Council.
