Picton Town Centre Transport Plan

The town of Picton is growing; it's a key destination in Wollondilly and a major thoroughfare for commuters coming and going in the Shire.

Council undertook an investigation into the current and future transport needs for Picton, to ensure measures are in place to allow for smoother and safer traffic flow now and into the future. We spoke with the community in April 2019 to let them know about the planned changes in the Draft Picton Town Centre Transport Plan - thank you to everyone who provided feedback.

The finalised Plan was approved by Council on August 19, 2019, with amendments regarding the Lumsdaine-Argyle Street intersection, and the Menangle-Prince Street intersection. See the online Council report (Item 12.4 on p. 41) for more information.

Funding has also been received from Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) for the relocation of the pedestrian crossing on Argyle Street, for the current financial year. Works are underway on the detailed design. This will be the first of the adopted improvement works to be constructed under the Picton Town Centre Transport Plan 2026.

We look forward to improving traffic conditions in Picton.

    Picton crossing to be relocated for pedestrian safety

    Wollondilly Council will be improving the safety and upgrading the streetscape of Argyle Street Picton by relocating the existing pedestrian crossing in Argyle Street, thanks to funding under the Australian Government Black Spot program.

    Council has undertaken the design for a new crossing and selected a contractor, aiming to take advantage of the quieter traffic flows resulting from COVID-19 social isolation measures to complete the work.

    The existing pedestrian crossing will be relocated from the intersection of Argyle Street and Menangle Street, approximately 45m to the north away from the intersection.

    Mayor Matthew Deeth said, “Moving the pedestrian crossing away from the corner and giving it an upgrade will improve the Picton streetscape, but more importantly will make it safer for people crossing the road.”

    “This seems like an ideal time to undertake work in a high traffic flow area, as there are less cars than usual on the road while people are responsibly staying home.”

    “I would like to thank Member for Hume, Angus Taylor and the Federal Government for providing the Black Spot funding for this important project,” he said.

    Work to relocate the crossing is scheduled to start on Monday 27 April 2020 and will take approximately six weeks to complete, with a budget of $310,000.

    Traffic controllers will be on site and there may be some disruption to traffic as the work gets under way. All efforts will be made to maintain access to properties and businesses but some minor disruptions may occur.
