Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils STATE of the ENVIRONMENT REPORT 2005 / 2006 STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT REPORT 2006 NORTHERN SYDNEY REGIONAL ORGANISATION OF COUNCILS STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT REPORT 2005 / 2006 Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils Comprising the Councils of Hornsby, Hunters Hill, Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Ryde and Willoughby HORNSBY HUNTERS HILL KU-RING-GAI LANE COVE NORTH SYDNEY RYDE WILLOUGHBY Mayor Berman Mayor Hoopmann Mayor Ebbeck Mayor Longbottom Mayor McCaffery Mayor Petch Mayor Reilly Councillor Delegate Councillor Delegate Councillor Delegate Councillor Delegate Councillor Delegate Councillor Delegate Councillor Delegate Felicity Findlay Ross Sheerin Elaine Malicki Rod Tudge Nick Ritten Edna Wilde Terry Fogarty STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT REPORT 2006 PRESIDENt’S MESSAGE It has now been twelve months since the seven councils (Hornsby Shire, Hunter’s Hill, Ku-ring-gai, North Sydney, Lane Cove, City of Ryde, and Willoughby City) which comprise NSROC released the first regional State of the Environment (SoE) report for the northern Sydney Region. The first regional SoE was very well received by both the community and environmental professionals and encouraged the NSROC councils to continue with producing a regional report. This year we have provided a great deal of supplementary material in addition to building on the data sets and narrative contained within the first report. The intervening period between the reports has been marked by increasing community concern over water shortages, global warming, population impacts and transport issues. The NSROC councils have been working diligently with their communities and the state government to try and address the challenges these issues present in a cohesive and consultative way. A number of the councils have initiated innovative management strategies and projects, and there is also an ever increasing focus on sustainability. While all the councils continue to run strong bush care and stream remediation programmes, the health of our bushland and waterways remains a strong concern. Our data demonstrates that a number of our creeks are under significant pressure from development and disturbance and will require careful management into the future to ensure they remain viable ecosystems. It was with a great sense of relief that I learnt the state government has shelved its controversial plans to build a large-scale desalination facility in southern Sydney. While the supply of drinking water is a fundamental necessity for Sydney, all spheres of Government must take a leadership role in identifying sustainable and appropriate environmental solutions to the problems we face. The proposed desalination plant sent exactly the wrong message to our communities; instead of advocating re-use, recycling and an overall reduction in potable water use, it instead favoured an incredibly energy intensive process to supply what only amounted to a small portion of Sydney’s total water need. While the drinking water crisis has been temporarily averted due to other measures being implemented, we must all remain vigilant to ensure that short term measures are not employed by governments which do not look at the bigger environmental picture. The federal government has so far refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol which would lock Australia into a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The issue of climate change and the impacts that are being experienced right now are compelling individuals and communities around the world to take action. The NSROC councils are doing their bit and all of them are reviewing and reducing their own energy consumption as well as working with, and educating, their communities. Like water, energy is going to be one of the biggest challenges Australia has to face over the coming decades. We must act now to ensure that the beautiful environment of the northern Sydney region is not irretrievably damaged due to a stubborn reluctance by politicians, industry or individuals to recognise the issues and adapt their practices and policies appropriately. In many areas the northern Sydney councils are on the cutting edge of environmental innovation and with our strong environmental heritage and relative prosperity we have the opportunity to show leadership both within the region and beyond. Again I commend this regional SoE report to you as the next step in ensuring that the environment of our region receives the strategic, collusive and sustainable management approach it so richly deserves.

Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams. A common index would aid in the coordination of various stream-related activities by facilitating data collection and interpretation.

INTRODUCTION. During 1931 muchinterest has been shown in placer-mining. Prospectinghas been par. ticularly active as many men, finding employment difficult to obtain, hare scoured the hills with gold-pan and shovel in search of the yellow metal, which is now more firmly entrenched as the Symbol of real value than eyer before. Development of placer properties has been vigorously prosecuted and productive hydraulics are enjoyinga successful year. The placer-output will uudoubtedly show a substantial increase for the year, as preliminary figuresindicate that largeramounts of ?:old are beingrecovered in the importantareas of Cariboo and Atlin.

In this report the hydrological, recreational and ecological fragments of the city are mapped and then pulled together into a proposition for a cohesive green infrastructure network for greater Sydney. This report builds on investigations undertaken by the Office of the Government Architect for the Department of Planning and Environment in the development of District Plans. It interrogates the vision and objectives of the Sydney Green Grid and uses a combination of GIS data mapping and consultation to develop an overview of the green infrastructure needs and character of each district. FINAL REPORT 23.03.17 Each district is analysed for its spatial qualities, open space, PREPARED BY waterways, its context and key natural features. This data informs a series of strategic opportunities for building the Sydney Green Grid within each district. Green Grid project opportunities have TYRRELLSTUDIO been identified and preliminary prioritisation has been informed by a comprehensive consultation process with stakeholders, including ABN. 97167623216 landowners and state and local government agencies.

  • Ryde Road, West Pymble Proposed Permanent Electronic Message Sign
    Ryde Road, West Pymble Proposed permanent electronic message sign Community Consultation Report April 2016 "{Double click to insert image}" THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK Executive summary This report provides a summary of Roads and Maritime Services’ community and stakeholder consultation carried out for a proposed permanent electronic message sign on Ryde Road, West Pymble. The NSW Government is funding this proposal as part of its $246 million Pinch Point Program which aims to reduce traffic delays, manage congestion and improve travel times on Sydney’s main roads, particularly during weekday peak periods. Two possible northbound locations on Ryde Road were presented to the community and stakeholders for comments: 1. 400 metres north of the intersection with Yanko Road near Andrew Avenue 2. 170 metres north of the intersection with Lady Game Drive. Both of these locations would provide northbound motorists with up-to-date information on planned and unplanned incidents and events in the Pymble, north shore, northern beaches areas and the wider Sydney region. Roads and Maritime invited feedback on the first location in September 2014. We received comments from 14 people and organisations, with two people supporting and 12 people opposing the proposal. Key points raised included the location, the appearance of the structure and the potential for the sign’s messaging to divert road users onto local roads. We invited feedback on the second location in March 2015. We received comments from eight people and organisations, with seven people supporting the proposal and one person asking about the location of the electronic sign in relation to other nearby signage.
