We want our local streets to be safe and fit for purpose. They need to meet the needs of residents and other users, whether you are a pedestrian, bike rider, public transport user, have a personal vehicle, or drive a service/delivery vehicle.

To help us achieve this goal, the Bondi Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Project began following a Waverley Council resolution in May 2021.

Some initial planning and preliminary investigations were first completed. Then in August 2022, to address broader traffic and pedestrian concerns within Waverley, a community consultation was conducted in November that year.

Residents were asked for feedback on road safety, parking, pedestrian movements and bike riding in the local area.

Around 350 responses were submitted to Council. This valuable feedback then formed part of a subsequent study and treatment report by GHD.

Last year, council staff reviewed and workshopped the traffic calming recommendations by GHD. These workshops refined the proposed treatments, considered how implementing these practically would work, and ensured any changes would align with Council’s broader objectives.

Seven locations were identified as priority areas for traffic calming, proposed designs have now been completed and we are seeking community feedback on this next step.

Engagement in the Bondi LATM will be rolled out in stages between July and November 2025. The community is invited to submit feedback on locations open for consultation during this time.
