SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                               12 JULY 2016


2.      Speed Review – Cooroy Connection Road (Elm Street) Cooroy

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) undertook a review of the 100km/h speed
limit on Cooroy Connection Road (east of the highway off ramp through to north of Pearsons Road).
The recommendation of this review is:

 the speed be reduced to 80km/h between the highway off ramp and just past the Yurol Forest
   Road intersection
 the speed be reduced to 90km/h from the Yurol Forest Road intersection to north of Pearsons
   Road.

This recommendation was supported by the committee, and DTMR has reduced the speed to
80km/h & 90km/h with all necessary signage changes made at no cost to Council.
