We have been keeping an eye on the area and a recent check of accident data from Transport for NSW (TfNSW) showed that there have been many accidents reported in the centre. We believe many accidents and near-misses are not being reported. This all adds up to the fact that the current 40km/hr speed zones in the town centre aren't working and we need to introduce measures to support the speed zones.

Council wants to improve safety in the Revesby town centre. Traffic calming devices slow motorists and improve safety for all users – 24 hours a day – and reduce the number and severity of accidents.

No. The devices will not impact vehicles entering/exiting a driveway.

The speed humps will not reduce the number of kerbside parking spaces on the street. However, two pedestrian crossings will result in loss of some parking spaces as those devices require No Stopping zones to ensure motorists have good sightlines.

In our proposal, we have proposed two types of speed humps. One type is narrow and the other has a flat-top.

The narrow humps are only proposed in rear lanes and in carparks, while the flat-top speed humps will be used in roadways. It is a mandatory requirement from TfNSW that all flat-top speed humps have fences on both sides to prevent pedestrians mistakenly using the device as a safe place to cross the roadway.

The flat-top speed humps will be 75mm high with ramps, therefore there is no impact on vehicles if travelling at the advised speed limit of 25km/h.

The project goal is to improve pedestrian safety without causing significant disruption to traffic flow. We will observe the traffic flow and if necessary there might be some adjustments in the future.

The project team will work closely with the construction team to minimise disruptions.

Council officers will review community feedback from the consultation period to support the project proposal. They will then apply for a TfNSW grant for the 2025-2026 financial year. If the grant is awarded, the project proposal will be presented to the Local Traffic Committee and the General Council Meeting. If the grant is not awarded, Council officers will reapply for the 2026-2027 financial year.

It’s a panel of experts that meets monthly to consider upgrades and changes to traffic and pedestrian management in the Canterbury-Bankstown local government area. The committee includes members from:

• Transport for NSW
• NSW Police
• Members of Parliament (Canterbury-Bankstown Local Government Area)
• City of Canterbury Bankstown

It is important to provide your feedback in writing by using the map or/and completing the online feedback form or emailing haveyoursay@cbcity.nsw.gov.au. If you prefer to talk to a Council officer, please go to the ‘Who’s listening’ section of this website.

Our goal is to improve safety for all motorists and pedestrians. Project officers and the Traffic Committee will consider all feedback and efforts will be made to accommodate all concerns, however, we must stress that sometimes technical and financial reasons can affect the outcome of a project. Council is committed to deliver this project at the highest standards.
