Union Local Area Traffic Management Plan
Throughout 2025-2026, Council is conducting a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study in the Union precinct. The Union LATM study aims to improve traffic and parking in the area.
As part of the study, Council is now seeking your feedback on the following plans for the Union Local Area:
The draft plans were prepared following the review of community feedback received over the past 6 months (see our map below for feedback we heard from you last year), along with results from traffic and parking surveys. We are now seeking feedback on these draft plans to help us finalise them and present them for endorsement at a Council meeting in late 2026.
Traffic Management
The Traffic Management Plan sets out recommended solutions to traffic issues identified by the community, Council officers, and consultants.
Parking Management
The Parking Management Plan does similarly for parking. This is significantly based on two full-day parking surveys and initial feedback from the community.

What we have heard so far
From 28 July - 24 August 2025, Council invited community members to provide feedback on issues they have noticed in their area, the events area and the wider study area. Thank you to everyone who took the time to have their say. This consultation has now closed while we consider the feedback received.
The first stage of consultation generated a large number of responses - a total of 170 responses were received via the survey and 391 pins/comments were received and analysed as part of the baseline conditions report.. The feedback highlighted concerns including:
- Traffic safety and speed on local streets.
- Pedestrian and cyclist safety at intersections and crossings.
- Parking pressures, typically associated with commercial areas and residential growth.
- Concerns regarding the impact of through-traffic and event-day congestion.
