VISION

“EXPOSE THE GIFTS, ELEVATE THE CULTURE AND ENRICH THE PEOPLE”

MISSION STATEMENT Polyfest is a culturally based annual music festival which provides a platform that raises the profile of the

Polynesian Community. We aim to achieve this by showcasing established Artists, as well as promoting

up and coming talent- Polyfest provides a reason to celebrate with excellence, the diversity of talent,

which the Polynesian Community are so richly blessed with.

OVERARCHING GOALS

- To financially aid ‘’like- minded’' initiatives through the non-profit arm of the organisation. - To give financial support to programmes already committed to caring for the under-privileged/

Needy. - To supply funds to further the education and development of Artists- ultimately leading to the

launch of our own Music school. - To be in a financial position to set up and establish a cultural village as a local tourist attraction,

educating people and introducing them to the richness of our culture. This venture will provide unique job opportunities for many, and spark the beneficial growth of an often disadvantaged demographic.

- To extend the Polyfest Event to other States and Nations, thus raising the profile and dignity of the Polynesian people.

- To progressively expand upon the diversity of Artists that we feature and promote, creating real avenues of success and prosperity, with the goal of creating a market demand for cultural arts, in all its different forms.

In everything we do, we strive to achieve and maintain a standard of excellence.

Sydney, Australia

Event Date: 2nd

& 3rd October 2011

PURPOSE

A special event (in traffic management terms) is any planned activity that is wholly or partly conducted on a road, requires multiple agency involvement, requires special traffic management arrangements, and may involve large numbers of participants and/or spectators. Examples are marathons, fun runs, cycling events, parades, marches, music festivals and street market days. The definition also applies to events conducted in their own venue if the event requires special traffic management arrangements and multiple agency support, from a traffic and transport perspective, a special event needs to:

• ensure the safe separation of event patrons, participants and volunteers from traffic, and to

• when applicable manage the reduced capacity of the road system,

• minimise the traffic impact on the non-event community, emergency services, and other road users

Note: Parts of this document are taken from the RTA NSW Traffic & Transport Management of Special Events Version 3.4 August 2, 2006 “Guidelines for Special Events” and the Department of Main Roads and Transport Queensland MUTCD –

Manual of Uniformed Traffic Control Devices part 3] permission has been obtained from both of these organisations to use this information

SCOPE This document will operate in conjunction with the following plans;

Polyfest Event Management plan

Polyfest Security Management Plan

Polyfest Evacuation Plan This plan covers all related activities pertaining to security management including the required resourcing of security staff and security requirements needed for Polyfest 2011.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

Preparation of a traffic management plan requires a procedure to be followed whereby all essential aspects of the plan are

considered in an ordered way. The following matters are considered in turn and incorporated into the plan if relevant:

Depending on circumstances, movement of traffic and pedestrians may be achieved in one of the following ways:

(a) Movement through the event area under closely controlled conditions

(b) Movement past the event area by means of a delineated path alongside but clear of the work area

(c) Movement around the event area by a detour, which may be via a side track or an existing road,

(d) Closure of the road for short periods during the event

SAFETY AND CONVEIENCE

The safety of workers through adequate protection from traffic and the safety and convenience of traffic is covered in the Traffic

Management Scheme and also includes provision for pedestrians and bicycles

Where pedestrians, including people with disabilities or visual impairment, have to move through, past or around an event sit e or

to cross the road within the event site, they shall be provided with and or directed to suitably and protected temporary footpaths

and crossing points, or formal pedestrian crossings, .

(a) Where pedestrian traffic has been diverted onto an existing roadway the pedestrian path shall be separated from vehicular

traffic.

Page 11: POLYFEST SYDNEYdeanharawira-e-portfolio.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/7/...EVENT INFORMATION PLAN Last Update: 22nd June 2011 Location: Parramatta Speedway, 21 Wentworth Street Forecasted

(b) Adequate Surfacing should provide for prams, strollers and wheelchairs, and other mobility aids.

(c) The management of pedestrians at crossings on roadways temporarily will be considered in the Traffic Management Scheme

TRAFFIC AROUND THE WORK AREA (SIDE TRACKS AND DETOURS

When it is not practicable to allow traffic through or past the event area, it may be catered for by means of either a detour using

existing roads or a specially constructed side-track. Requirements and

Recommendations for the operation of side-tracks, detours and temporary crossovers will conform to local authority conditions.

The authority will also be advised when the restriction is removed so that all traffic can resume use of the roadway or struc ture.

[See Traffic Management Scheme]

NIGHT CONDITIONS

Where an event extends for more than a single day or is to be performed at night the requirements and recommendations for

operating or securing the site at night apply and will be incorporated in the Traffic Management Scheme

(i) Wherever practicable, any part of the normal roadway which is closed during the day and can be opened at night will be

opened.

VEHICLE SIZE AND LOAD RESTRICTIONS

Where the width, height or load-carrying capacity of the roadway or structure is to be temporarily reduced during works, the

appropriate authority should be informed in advance so that arrangements can be made.

INSPECTION

At a static site, when the erection of the signs and devices is completed and the condition of devices has been checked,

supervisory personnel who have traffic control experience will carry out a functional inspection before and after opening to traffic.

This inspection should be carried out along the travel path, and past all of the signs and devices. The same inspection should be

carried out at night with dipped headlights. If the arrangement is considered confusing or unsatisfactory, it should be adjusted

and re-inspected.

REMOVAL

It is most important that the relevant signs and devices be removed or concealed from view as soon as any activity is completed

or a hazard ceases to exist.

When the event is over and when appropriate, signs and devices will be dismantled in the reverse order to that of

implementation.

PUBLICITY

Depending on the complexity of the traffic guidance scheme and the length of time it is to operate, it may be necessary to erect

special signs to inform the public of the traffic guidance scheme. It may also be advisable to implement a publicity campaign

using printed material and local media, particularly the radio, it is the organiser‟s expectation that consultation with emergency

services, businesses, and the public will be part of the conditions of holding the event and will comply with all requirements.

TRANSPORT TO THE EVENT

It is the organisers intention where applicable to utilize the existing public transport systems i.e. buses, trains, taxis, where there

is a need to operate park n ride shuttle buses and also provide pick up and drop off points, these will be shown within the Traffic

Management Scheme.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SCHEME

Forms part of the application to hold a special event, it is a detailed plan that shows the application of temporary traffic controlled

devices e.g.; signs, portable or temporary fixed traffic signals, and if required trained traffic controllers, It is the expe ctation of the

organiser that when required a trained professional traffic management firm [preferably local] would be engaged to carry out the

implementation of the Traffic Management Scheme.

A map showing the event area with key points is enclosed
