This Annual Report is a testament to our commitment to the successful renewal of Bayside. The report provides a snapshot of our projects, achievements services and initiatives. It also provides accountability on the strategic matters and gives Council an opportunity to reflect on future challenges.

Trust is not something we can take for granted and I will continue working hard to ensure Council earns your trust through transparency, good governance and honesty. Our plan to serve the community well into the future is encapsulated in Bayside 2030. I am confident this plan provides Council with solid direction as we work to achieve our vision for Bayside.

I am looking forward to the next 12 months as Mayor and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Councillors and Council staff for their ongoing commitment to the community. Cr Joe Awada Mayor 4 | Bayside Council General Manager’s Message I am pleased to present the 2018/19 Annual Report for Bayside Council. Bayside is part of one of the world’s leading and most desirable cities. It is a dynamic, developing area rich in heritage and commercial activity, and home to a diverse ecology. Bayside, strategically located around Sydney Airport, is the gateway to Sydney and Australia as tourists and business people from around the world pass through Bayside providing unlimited opportunities for local industry. This Annual Report sets out our achievements, highlights issues impacting our community and details our financial position. Council has kept the budget in check and balances while delivering key infrastructure projects and delivering quality services. Council also delivers an extensive calendar of community events. This is part of our strategy to provide accessible and affordable events for our diverse, multicultural community. Highlights of the year were our well-attended school holiday activities, the Bayside Arts Festival and the popular New Year’s Eve fireworks. I believe Bayside has an exciting future ahead. I look forward to working with our new Mayor Joe Awada to ensure Council keeps delivering for residents and ratepayers.

    Frequently Asked Questions & Answers Reopening East West

    Frequently Asked Questions & Answers Reopening East West Runway Q: How many runways does Sydney Airport have? A: Sydney Airport has three runways: • East-west runway, also known as runway 07/25 • Main north-south runway, also known as runway 16R/34L • Parallel north-south runway, also known as runway 16L/34R Q: When are the three runways typically used? A: The Australian Government agency responsible for air traffic control – Airservices Australia – manages runway usage to ensure safety. Weather – especially wind direction and strength and rain – is a major factor in deciding which runways can be safely used for take-off and landing. Aircraft generally take-off and land into the wind, or with minimal tail wind. Based on wind direction, air traffic control will decide which runway is used at any given time. However, the decision to take-off or land ultimately rests with the pilot-in-command of the aircraft. Q: What is “noise sharing” and how is it implemented? A: At Sydney Airport, the Australian Government’s noise sharing policy – known as the Long Term Operating Plan, or LTOP – also influences when a particular runway is used. The LTOP is a program to manage aircraft noise from Sydney Airport. It aims to make sure flights are sent over water and non-residential land, as much as possible. Where this is not possible, it aims to share noise across communities in Sydney and provide periods of respite from noise. It provides ten different ways of using the airport’s three runways and associated flight paths, some of which involve use of the east-west runway.

    Submission to Independent Review

    13095 3 February 2014 Marian Pate Sutherland LEP Review NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure PO Box 39 SYDNEY NSW 2001 Dear Ms Pate SUTHERLAND LEP INDEPENDENT REVIEW 32-40 CAWARRA ROAD, CARINGBAH Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission on the Sutherland LEP Independent Review. This submission is made on behalf of Costco Wholesale (Australia) Pty Ltd ( Costco ) in relation to part of 32-40 Cawarra Road, Caringbah (the Site ). Costco does not own the Site but is in negotiations with the landowner, Leda Holdings, to develop it. Costco made a submission on the original exhibited version of the draft Sutherland Local Environmental Plan 2013 (Draft LEP ). Costco subsequently provided additional justification at the request of Council officers. Both of these documents are attached . Costco’s submission requested that a Costco warehouse (categorised as a ‘shop’ in the Standard Instrument) be made permissible on the Site under Schedule 1 (Additional Permitted Uses) of the Draft LEP. The submission was detailed, well-reasoned and supported by a Concept Plan, a Preliminary Market Analysis and Traffic Analysis. Key points raised in the submission included: ° Demonstrated market demand for a Costco warehouse in the Sutherland Shire; ° Economic benefits for the Sutherland Shire, including significant employment opportunities; ° Consistency with the strategic planning framework and vision, including the Sutherland Employment Strategy; ° Consistency with Section 117 Directions; ° Consistency with the B7 Business Park objectives; and ° Suitability of the site for a Costco warehouse due to its size, location within an employment area and proximity to transport corridors and bulky goods retailers. The Draft LEP was then amended, and development for the purpose of a ‘shop’ was made permissible with consent under the second exhibited version.

    22 February, 2021 Submission to Transport NSW on the Heathcote

    22 February, 2021 Submission to Transport NSW on the Heathcote Bridge Widening Project Sutherland Shire Environment Centre is an independent, not-for-profit, non-government, community organisation that has been actively involved in advocating for the environment since 1991. We welcome the Heathcote bridge widening and upgrade as an important road safety initiative – the fatalities there demonstrate the upgrade is long overdue. We have been researching the issue of wildlife crossings around major road crossings in the Sutherland Shire and bioregions for some time now, and have carried out extended research, consulting with a number of other environmental and community organisations around the region in order to determine the issues that need to be addressed. This submission has been prepared in consultation with and is co-signed by: - National Parks Association Southern Sydney - Rewilding Sydney’s Koalas - Woronora Valley Residents Association - Sandy Point Residents Association - Friends of the Royal - Oatley Flora and Fauna Conservation Society - Georges River Environmental Alliance Our joint submission focuses largely on one aspect of the upgrade – the wildlife crossings in the proposed design brief. It is based on the assumption the selected design will be for the Transport NSW preferred option, widening the bridge using the headstock technique. Beyond our focus on wildlife crossings one key additional point of concern is that we share Sutherland Shire Council’s reservations regarding “the huge potential for irreversible harm to be done to the aquatic habitats of the Woronora River”,1 and we request further information on this matter. We anticipate Transport NSW will address this and institute careful monitoring systems.

    South Eastern Sydney Local Priorities

    Targeted Earlier Intervention Program Sydney, South Eastern Sydney and Northern Sydney South Eastern Sydney District Local Priorities We will take a local approach We know that every local community is different and has distinct needs and priorities. Local knowledge is crucial to identifying and addressing these needs. That’s why we’re taking a local approach to recommissioning for Targeted Earlier Intervention (TEI). The new TEI program will focus on collecting data so you can learn more about your local community. This will help you to identify needs, as they change, in your area. As the evidence grows, you’ll be able to adapt your service to what works in your community. This is crucial to supporting children, young people, families and communities experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, vulnerability in NSW. Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) Districts will work with you to identify the needs and priorities of your community. We will look at: local priority groups – who needs the services most in your community? location – where in your local area are the services needed most? service type – what kinds of services will work in your area? This evidence-based snapshot outlines the main priority groups in your District. This will help you to plan services that can make a real difference in your local area. Local Priorities for South Eastern Sydney District In no particular order 1. Children, young people and families or carers affected by mental ill-health, substance misuse, separation, or domestic and family violence 2.

    Robin Nicolle My Essay on the Beautiful Botany

    Name: Robin Nicolle My Essay on the Beautiful Botany Bay 2018 Ron Rathbone Local History Competition Introduction 1 There are many beautiful places around the world but there is only one Bayside Council and you can only find it here in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The Bayside encompasses various suburbs including Arncliffe, Wolli Creek and Rockdale to name a few. It is an area rich not only in history, that dates back to 1770 when the first settlers arrived but also in architecture, culture and a big variety of people from all corners of the globe. Since people first settled in the Bayside Council, most of the development and infrastructure has been slow however the decisions made by a lot of influential people over the last 200 years have helped to shape it into the thriving community that we know today. In short the Bayside Council continues to grow every year and we want it to be well established as one of the best places in the world to live. For my essay I decided to focus on two of the most important elements of the Bayside Council, the History and the Architecture Architecture ANSI POPO Cr CIP,O. 5' 00, -PrJ al SO" BUILDING ELEVATION History of Botany Bay and Surrounding Suburbs 2 British Settlement The history of Botany Bay dates as far back as Sunday 29th April 1770. That is the day a British Sailor first landed in Kurnell on the banks of Botany Bay. He sailed all the way to Australia on his magnificent ship called the HMS Endeavour.
