Dulwich Hill South LATM Scheme
Marrickville Council has established Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) schemes in 20 local precincts since 1990. Dulwich Hill South LATM Scheme was originally completed in 1996 and initially reviewed in 2000/01. The Scheme is once again being reviewed. The study area is shown in figure 1 below.
A pre-planning questionnaire survey form (factsheet 1) was posted to the 2000 property owners in the Dulwich Hill South LATM traffic precinct area. A plan was developed based on the responses of questionnaire survey from the community, the outcome of traffic surveys and accident data analysis.
