INTRODUCTION This report provides an update on community and stakeholder engagement undertaken to date on the development of the draft Sydenham to Bankstown Urban Renewal Corridor Strategy (the Corridor Strategy). The Sydenham to Bankstown Corridor includes 13km of the existing Bankstown Rail Line from Bankstown west to Sydenham. It is the location of the proposed extension of the Sydney Metro from Chatswood to Bankstown. The Corridor Strategy establishes a strategic planning framework to guide future development and infrastructure delivery within the Sydenham to Bankstown Urban Renewal Corridor over the next 20 years. The strategy provides a comprehensive evidence base to support future growth in the Sydenham to Bankstown Urban Renewal Corridor by identifying opportunities for additional homes and jobs close to existing public transport, employment areas and town centres. The Corridor Strategy includes a land use and infrastructure analysis for each of the station precincts along the Bankstown Rail Line: Bankstown, Punchbowl, Wiley Park, Lakemba, Belmore, Campsie, Canterbury, Hurlstone Park, Dulwich Hill, Marrickville and Sydenham. It outlines the future vision and character for each area, the number of new homes and jobs that could be delivered and the improvements to community facilities, public spaces, the transport network and other infrastructure needed to support growth. The NSW Government has worked closely with Marrickville Council, City of Canterbury and Bankstown City Council to develop the Corridor Strategy. Urban design and technical studies have been undertaken to inform the strategy and understand the growth potential and infrastructure needs along the corridor. The draft Corridor Strategy was placed on public exhibition between 15 October 2015 and 7 February 2016. 1440 submissions were received. This report summarises the results of the exhibition and the consultation undertaken to date in order to provide an update on feedback collected to date and to outline the next steps as the Corridor Strategy is reviewed and finalised.

WORKING WITH COUNCIL Throughout the development of the Corridor Strategy the Department has held regular workshops with Canterbury City Council, Bankstown City Council and Marrickville Council whose areas cover the Corridor. Representatives from Transport for NSW and the Sydney Metro team also attended the workshops. Briefings were also given to elected Councillors prior to the exhibition. 4. ONLINE SURVEY The Department published an online survey on its website between late May and late July 2015 to seek feedback from the community about their infrastructure, open space, public domain and housing priorities in order to help inform the draft Corridor Strategy. Social media campaign In order to raise awareness of the Corridor Strategy and to promote the online survey the Department ran a Facebook advertising campaign that harnessed Facebook’s geo-targeting capabilities to promote the survey to community members and to encourage feedback; resulting in 4,281 unique visits to the website. 2 Figure 3: Social media advertisements Online survey results A full report on the survey results was made available on the Department’s website in November 2015. (http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/~/media/Files/DPE/Reports/sydenham-to-bankstown-online-survey- results-2015-11.ashx). A summary of the results of this survey is provided in the following section. In total, 770 people completed the survey. The respondent’s location is shown in Figure 3 below.

  • Communication Licence Rent
    Communication licences Fact sheet Communication licence rent In November 2018, the NSW Premier had the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) undertake a review of Rental arrangements for communication towers on Crown land. In November 2019, IPART released its final report to the NSW Government. To provide certainty to tenure holders while the government considers the report, implementation of any changes to the current fee structure will apply from the next renewal or review on or after 1 July 2021. In the interim, all communication tenures on Crown land will be managed under the 2013 IPART fee schedule, or respective existing licence conditions, adjusted by the consumer price index where applicable. In July 2014, the NSW Government adopted all 23 recommendations of the IPART 2013 report, including a rental fee schedule. Visit www.ipart.nsw.gov.au to see the IPART 2013 report. Density classification and rent calculation The annual rent for communication facilities located on a standard site depends on the type of occupation and the location of the facilities. In line with the IPART 2013 report recommendations, NSW is divided into four density classifications, and these determine the annual rent for each site. Table 1 defines these classifications. Annexure A further details the affected local government areas and urban centres and localities (UCLs) of the classifications. Figure 1 shows the location of the classifications. A primary user of a site who owns and maintains the communication infrastructure will incur the rent figures in Table 2. A co-user of a site will be charged rent of 50% that of a primary user.

  • Ashfield Council Leichhardt Municipal Council Marrickville Council
    Merger Proposal: Ashfield Council Leichhardt Municipal Council Marrickville Council JANUARY 2016 Figure 1: Proposed new local government area Page 1 MINISTER’S FOREWORD Four years of extensive consultation, research and analysis have demonstrated that change is needed in local government to strengthen local communities. Independent experts have concluded that NSW cannot sustain 152 councils – twice as many as Queensland and Victoria. After considering the clear need for change, the Independent Local Government Review Panel (ILGRP) research and recommendations, the assessment of councils by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART), council merger preferences, community views and the unique needs and characteristics of each area, I am putting forward the proposal to merge the local government areas of Ashfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville. The proposed merger will create a council better able to meet the needs of the community into the future and will provide significant benefits for the community. This document details the benefits the merger will provide to communities, including: a total financial benefit of $113 million over a 20 year period that can be reinvested in better services and more infrastructure; a projected 61 per cent improvement in annual operating results; potentially reducing the reliance on rate increases through Special Rate Variations (SRVs) to fund local infrastructure; reducing the reliance on rate increases through Special Rate Variations to fund local infrastructure; greater capacity to effectively manage and reduce the infrastructure backlog across the three councils; improved strategic planning and economic development to better respond to the changing needs of the community; effective representation by a council with the required scale and capacity to meet the future needs of the community; and providing a more effective voice for the area’s interests and better able to deliver on priorities in partnership with the NSW and Australian governments.

These events include street parades, motor races, cycling races, jazz festivals, cultural celebrations, sporting events, open air theatres and concerts, and balls or dance parties and can often attract large numbers of people. A lot of time and effort goes into planning and promoting these events and they are often seen as a way of creating employment and providing economic benefits for the local community. Councils play a variety of roles, from event manager to consent authority, and have to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages for everyone in their community before they give approval for the event to go ahead. Events are often complex and may depend on approvals from a range of different agencies. The key to staging a successful event is good communication, as early as possible in the process, between the promoter of the event and the local council and other consent authorities such as the Police and the Environment Protection Authority.

  • Pollution Incident Response Management Plan
    Pollution Incident Response Management Plan Boral Transport EPA Licence 13197 All tanker drivers are to be tool-boxed on this PIRMP (annually) and undertake daily pre-start checks on all vehicles to reduce the likelihood of a leak or spill. POLLUTION INCIDENTS Boral Transport is now required to report pollution incidents immediately to the EPA, the relevant Local Authority (Council), Ministry of Health, SafeWork NSW (Workcover) and Fire and Rescue NSW. The definition of a pollution incident is: “pollution incident means an incident or set of circumstances during or as a consequence of which there is or is likely to be a leak, spill or other escape or deposit of a substance, as a result of which pollution has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur. It includes an incident or set of circumstances in which a substance has been placed or disposed of on premises, but it does not include an incident or set of circumstances involving only the emission of any noise.” A pollution incident is required to be notified if there is a risk of ‘material harm to the environment’, which is defined as: a) harm to the environment is material if: i. it involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems that is not trivial, or ii. it results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceeding $10,000 (or such other amount as is prescribed by the regulations), and b) loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or make good harm to the environment.
