Waverley Transport Forum

The Waverley Transport Forum (WTF) is a technical advisory body mandated by Transport for NSW, through the 2025 Authorisation and Delegation for Prescribed Traffic Control Devices and Regulation of Traffic. It is required as part of consultation processes related to potential transport network changes that may restrict passage or turns on a public road. It operates in a similar way to Council’s advisory committees.

Following the creation of the WTF, the Waverley Traffic Committee was disbanded. Records of matters that were considered by this committee before 2026 can be found here.

Role

The Waverley Transport Forum provides input  to Council on traffic and transport matters, including the use of traffic control devices and changes to how streets are managed.

Focusing on strategic issues, the WTF considers proposals that may significantly affect how people move around, such as permanent traffic changes or major street-based events.

Delegation

The WTF does not have the authority to act on behalf of Council. It does not have decision-making powers, and there is no voting. It may provide input and make recommendations on matters of the agenda placed before it. Council is exclusively responsible for decisions taken with respect to Council roads.

Membership

Membership comprises representatives from the following entities:

  • Waverley Council
  • Transport for NSW
  • NSW Police
  • The State Member of Parliament (MP) for Coogee or their nominee
  • The State Member of Parliament (MP) for Vaucluse or their nominee
  • The Bus Operator (for items that may impact public transport operations)

Chair

Council has appointed Councillor Dov Frazer as the chair of the committee. If Councillor Frazer is unable to chair the meeting, the deputy chair, Councillor Joshua Spicer, will chair the meeting.

Meetings

The WTF is convened on a quarterly basis, subject to applicable agenda items.

Meeting dates are to be determined.

Record of Items Approved

All regulatory transport changes made under the 2025 delegation are public record. For larger-scale items approved through a Council or Committee of Council meeting, refer to agenda and minutes records here.
