Apr 2020 Comments closed and under review

Thank you to those who made a submission on this proposal.

The feedback is being reviewed and considered.

Determination on this proposal will be made at the Local Traffic Committee meeting being held on Tuesday 2 June, 2020.

Once available the Local Traffic Committee agenda (including engagement summary) will be available on this page.

What's proposed

In response to community concerns regarding heavy vehicle usage on Ellis Road and Oxford Falls Road, Frenchs Forest, and because the section at Allambie Road and Frenchs Forest Road East has recently been upgraded to accommodate additional population and traffic for the Northern Beaches Hospital, we have reviewed the traffic patterns in this area and propose a change to the load limit on:

  • Ellis Road
  • Oxford Falls Road
  • Allambie Road
  • Frenchs Forest Road East.

Currently, there is a restriction for heavy vehicles on Ellis Road and Oxford Falls Road, however, heavy vehicles heading to Meatworks Avenue are exempt.

To address the issues raised by local residents and accommodate the required traffic movement we propose to:

  • ban all heavy vehicle traffic (3 tonne +) through Ellis Road and Oxford Falls Road
  • lift the current restriction (3 tonnes) for heavy traffic from Allambie Road (between Warringah Road and Frenchs Forest Road East) and Frenchs Forest Road East (view the detour plan).
