In August 2007, the Land and Environment Court of New South Wales approved a medium density residential development at 257 Windsor Road, Baulkham Hills (also known as 1 Russell Street, Baulkham Hills).

The Court granted approval (consent 10318 of 2007) to the developer to construct 110 apartments, parking and ancillary facilities. This development is now nearing completion.

Access to the site for motorists and pedestrians will be from Windsor Road and Russell Street, Baulkham Hills.

To minimise disruptions to northbound traffic on Windsor Road, timed right turn restrictions into Russell Street will be introduced.

As per the Court's conditions of consent and the recommendations of Council's Local Traffic Committee, northbound motorists on Windsor Road will be restricted from turning right into Russell Street during the AM and PM peak traffic periods of 6.30am to 9.30am and 3.30pm and 6.30pm.

The Hills Shire Council has confirmed it will work with the developer to ensure that appropriate signage is installed.

The Hills Shire Council has also confirmed it will provide advanced notice to local residents and motorists prior to installing the signs and changing the traffic conditions.

For more information regarding local traffic arrangements, please phone the Hills Shire Council's Traffic Engineer, Michael Doyle on (02) 9843 0243 or visit Council's website www.thehills.nsw.gov.au
