Local Transport Forum

This is a technical forum to advise Council on traffic and transport matters including the installation of regulatory signs and traffic control devices. The forum has no decision-making powers.

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) delegates certain aspects of the control of traffic on regional and local roads to Council. Council powers and the operation of the Local Transport Forum is mandated by TfNSW.

TfNSW - Delegations and Local Transport Forums

The forum meets bimonthly at 10am.

Please note that there are four permanent members:

  • NSW Police Service
  • TfNSW
  • Local State Member of Parliament for Willoughby
  • Willoughby Council.

Local Transport Forum meetings are chaired by the representative for Willoughby Council, a staff member of Council’s Traffic and Transport Team. 

The public can attend and speak about their traffic-related issues and concerns.

Request to attend a meeting

Any interested persons wishing to attend or present at the Local Transport Forum meeting must register by 12 noon on the preceding Friday by completing the online form above or calling Julia on 9777 7993 or Louise on 9777 7601.

Attendance only

If you wish to just attend the Local Transport Forum and listen to the forum’s discussion you will not have the opportunity to present your views, ask questions and answer questions from the committee.

Attendance and presentation

It is acceptable for you to attend and provide a short presentation on your issue of concern. There are a few presentation rules that apply which are outlined below:

  • Presentations should only be for 5 minutes. Handouts can be provided to the forum if this assists you in explaining the issue and in increasing the forum’s understanding of the issue.
  • A short session of question and answer (Q&A) is permitted, facilitated by the Chair following the completion of the presentation. The aim is to clarify any information provided on the issue with forum members. You will have an opportunity to ask questions as well.
  • You must leave the meeting room at the completion of the presentation and Q&A – the forum will consider the matter following your departure.
  • You will need to confirm on the day whether you permit the handouts to be provided as part of the report to Council. This can be helpful but it is your decision.

Typically, an item which has a presentation from a visitor is considered as early as possible in the meeting to minimise the inconvenience to, and time spent in the meeting, by the visitor.
