EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Parkes Coradgery and Diggers Amateur Race Club Inc have submitted an application for the annual Parkes Picnic Races, to be held on Saturday 8 June 2024, from 11:00am to 6:30pm.
Background
Concerns about traffic and pedestrian conflicts at the venue entrance during the 2013 event led to a reassessment of the traffic control measures applied for subsequent events. This review resulted in adjustments to the Traffic Control Plan (TCP) and the incorporation of qualified traffic controllers.
key issues
A. Long queues create potential conflict for drop off movements, taxis, and buses.
B. Large crowds, especially at the opening and closing of the event, create need for adequate control.
EVENT CLASS
This event is considered to be a 'Class 2 Special Event', as described in the Roads and Traffic Authority's Guide to Traffic and Transport Management for Special Events (Version 3.5, published 1 July 2018).
Conclusion
Most documentation that is relevant has been provided by the Parkes Coradgery and Diggers Amateur Race Club Inc in their submission to hold the event on Saturday 8 June 2024, from 11:00am to 6:30pm. It is recommended that the event be approved as presented in this report.

REPORT DETAIL
Council has received a request for a Stop sign to be installed at the pedestrian crossing between Packed Cones and the Broadway Hotel. Due to some near misses, Council has endeavoured to explore options such as installing lighting and signage through trials. The area is evolving into the showcase of the northern end of Main Street, and altering the current structures, providing shade and being well-established, is not advisable.
An investigation into LED lighting installation revealed a new product that activates only when pedestrians are crossing the road. The lights are triggered by a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor and can also incorporate flashing lights into the crossing itself. Council is currently receiving quotes for these options.
