Chaleyer Street - Proposed traffic calming treatments

19 October 2021

In March 2022, it was decided that Council:

  1. Installs ‘No Parking’ zones across the driveways of the following addresses along Chaleyer Street, Rose Bay, as shown in Figure 4 of the report:
    (a) 117 and 119.
    (b) 56 and 58.
    (c) 23.
    (d) 6 and 8.
    (e) 1 and 457 Old South Head Road.
  2. Defers for three months the installation of ‘No Parking’ zones across the following addresses along Chaleyer Street for further discussion with residents
    (a) 91 and 95 because one was against and one was no response.
    (b) 28 and 30 because one was against and one was no response.
  3. Officers review the effect of the installation of the ‘No Parking’ zones on traffic flow and congestion and prepare a report to Council after six months from the time the zones have been installed.
  4. Officers investigate the addition and/or extension of ‘No Stopping’ zones at each end of Chaleyer Street, with a report to be prepared for the Traffic Committee.


Council received a petition from residents of Chaleyer Street requesting an investigation into improving traffic and congestion.

A motion (CM/8.2/20.10) was put forward and considered by Council at a meeting on 20 October 2020.

It was resolved:

“That Council:

1. Accepts the petition presented by the residents of Chaleyer Street, Rose Bay, tabled at the meeting

2. Prepares a report for Council identifying options to improve residents’ amenity and relieve congestion in Chaleyer Street, including but not limited to:

(a) Widening the road for parking between driveways, without interfering with the depth of existing driveways.

(b) Constructing semi-recessed parking bays that do not interfere with driveways.

(c) Installing passing bays without reducing current parking.

(d) Limiting the size of commercial vehicles that can access the street.

(e) Installing traffic calming measures.

(f) Improving the ingress and egress to the street at the corners of Old South Head Road to the west and Hardy Street to the east.

(g) Reducing the speed limit to 40 km/h.

3. In the preparation of the report, consults the residents of Chaleyer Street and the Rose Bay and Dover Heights Precinct Committees. “

We are seeking your thoughts on installing ‘passing bays’ in front of some driveways. The ‘passing bays’ aim to help ease the two-way traffic flow by providing passing opportunities for vehicles coming in either direction.
