Just in via email from Michael Soo at the Council - these recommendations for the Traffic Committee Meeting.
The full set of recommendations can be downloaded from here.
We've just grabbed a couple of key points:
Recommendations from the Traffic Committee
B) That the Construction Traffic Management Plan be amended so that all demolition, excavation and construction phase traffic will enter and leave the site directly from/to Greens Road (which additionally includes access to Greens Road from the Council owned Napier Street road closure) except for vehicles required for works along the Selwyn Street frontage where access cannot be obtained from Green’s Road as noted in (C), and amended to reflect all other conditions.
With exceptions:
C) Exceptions to (B) include the delivery of fencing, hoardings, tree protections, screens, site establishment, bins/skips and equipment of light strip out and asbestos removal and the like for the buildings which are the subject of the redevelopment fronting Selwyn Street. These exceptions, including the occasional delivery and removal of equipment to demolish buildings, are permitted to be delivered and removed using Selwyn Street during the demolition phase only or via Josephson Street and Selwyn Street for equipment that cannot be delivered via the Napier Street road closure during all phases of work.
Naturally we'll need time to digest and discuss. But some of us are doing a little dance!

Some of us are not doing the happy dance at all. Napier Street residents should take note and attend the meeting on Friday.
ALL ACCESS to the site for the entire 27 months will be via the soon to be uprooted Napier Street Park - that's right folks....20+ trucks per day, which can reverse along dead man's lane within the college...so get used to the 'beep beep beep' sound 6 days a week - from 7.30 each morning. But hey...lets look on the bright side...forget about the huge reduction in amenity, property values and peace...let's celebrate the fact that nobody in Napier Street is going to need an alarm clock for the next 2 years....so no...NOT DOING ANY DANCING.
And let's not forget to note how often COFA will be using Greens Road to access their development site....oh yeah...NEVER...because despite having an entire block which can be utilised with no residents affected COFA are electing to use Napier Street....thanks guys....
Quite right Anon. Quite chastening.
The use of Napier St and the demolishing of the Park is still an outrage, whether there are trucks going along Albion Avenue/Selwyn Street or not.
You'll note that the dancing video is gone and an apology is in its place.
