The challenge for Council is to find a way to make these increases and still ensure that transport, infrastructure and services keep pace with the growing population, without negative impact on the environment.

It is a largely off-road facility that runs from Homebush Bay in the west to Botany Bay in the east. Jamieson Foley, Sustainable Transport Consultants and The Environment Works were engaged by the Cooks River Foreshores Working Group to study the pathway and identify safety, access and other issues with a view to developing a strategy for the improvement of the walking and cycling environment. This report presents the pathway development strategy and is based on the findings of two previous reports by the study team, including a formal road safety audit and an issues and options paper.

  • Bankstown City Council Residential Development Study–Part Two 62
    Bankstown City Council Residential Development Study–Part Two 62 October 2009 Bankstown City Council Trends in the City of Bankstown: Parks and Community Facilities What community infrastructure is needed to sustain population growth? Quality communities are places that focus on people and provide supporting infrastructure to ensure the physical, social and cultural needs of everyday are well met. Importantly, they support the development of social capital through the formation of strong social connections and relationships. In determining the need for community infrastructure, it is important to differentiate between what people demand and what people really need particularly as public funding will provide the community infrastructure. Council is currently preparing a Needs Assessment of Open Space and Community Facilities. Local community facilities and services The need for access to quality community facilities and services is important to respond to significant concentrations of families with young children, a growing aged population, and a high proportion of residents from non–English speaking backgrounds. The services play a major role in assisting new residents to settle into a community. The City of Bankstown provides a basic range of community facilities, however their ability to meet community needs are limited by factors such as building age, condition and design (many are over 40 years old and are built for single purpose use only). The table below outlines the current distribution of key community facilities per resident.

    SYDENHAM TO BANKSTOWN SUBMISSIONS AND PREFERRED INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT > Appendix I – Archaeological assessment and research design report Sydney Metro City & Southwest Sydenham to Bankstown Upgrade - AARD Sydney Metro City & Southwest Sydenham to Bankstown Upgrade Historical Archaeological Assessment & Research Design Report to Transport for NSW June 2018 Page i Sydney Metro City & Southwest Sydenham to Bankstown Upgrade - AARD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Note on this report Since the preparation of this Archaeological Assessment and Research Design (AARD), the project has been revised (the preferred project). Although some subsurface impacts may be reduced, the assessment of archaeological potential and relevant management outlined in this AARD would remain the same. Project Background The proposed Sydney Metro City & Southwest Sydenham to Bankstown project (the project) is the subject of this Archaeological AARD. The project involves upgrading the 10 existing stations from Marrickville to Bankstown (inclusive), and the 13 kilometre long section of the Sydney Trains T3 Bankstown Line between west of Sydenham Station and west of Bankstown Station, to improve accessibility for customers and enable conversion of the line to metro standards. The project would enable Sydney Metro to operate beyond Sydenham, to Bankstown. The environmental impact statement (EIS) identified the potential for archaeological constraints and the need for the preparation of an AARD for the Bankstown Line and specific station catchments and construction sites. This AARD has been prepared to comply with mitigation measure NAH10. Sections of the project area, including Punchbowl, Wiley Park, Hurlstone Park, Campsie and Bankstown Stations and other locations which were not assessed as having potential for significant archaeological remains are not dealt with separately in this AARD, but are included as part of the Bankstown Line assessment.
