The WOODSTOCK RUNDOWN October 2010 Internet addres s: www.woodstockrunners.org.au Email : [email protected] Facebook Group : http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=30549208990 Email Results and Contributions to : [email protected] Memberships : https://www.registernow.com.au/secure/Register.aspx?ID=66 Uniform Orders : https://www.registernow.com.au/secure/Register.aspx?ID=503 Postal Address : PO Box 672, BURWOOD NSW 1805 The Rundown On Members A top ten finish and a PB in the Sydney Marathon last month was a brilliant result for Brendan at the Sydney Running Festival. This was backed up by a 1st overall result and another Half Marathon PB in the Penrith Half. Is there any stopping our Club Champion??? We eagerly await his results from Melbourne where Brendan will represent NSW in the Marathon. John Dawlings has been busy coordinating the Balmain Fun Runs to be held on Sunday October 31. Let’s hope we see a great turnout of Woodstock members both competing and helping out on the day. We were shocked to hear of Roy’s bypass surgery followed three days later by more surgery to install a pacemaker. Roy is now at a friend’s home and recovery is progressing well. We wish you the very best, Roy and we’re assuming there will be some great runs coming up following your complete recovery. Also on the sick list was Emmanuel Chandran who was admitted to hospital with a severe bout of food poisoning. You won’t be eating at that venue again, will you, Emmanuel. -

Ordinary Meeting Meeting Held on 28/09/2020
Preface The NSW Government is committed to delivering a reformed infrastructure contributions system that achieves greater certainty, transparency, efficiency, and fairness in infrastructure funding and delivery in New South Wales. On 15 April 2020, I was appointed by the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces to undertake a comprehensive review of the infrastructure contributions system in New South Wales (the Review). This follows the Premier’s announcement in November 2019 that the Government would progress planning reforms to: 1. Cut red tape, increase transparency, reduce assessment timeframes and make e-planning mandatory for metro councils 2. Supercharge new hubs across New South Wales to ensure people can live in communities close to their work 3. Fix the uncertainty of developer contributions to boost investment, and 4. Preserve our heritage, create beautiful new public planes, and promote good design. As part of the Review’s Terms of Reference, I was tasked with reviewing and making recommendations to deliver an infrastructure contributions system that: ▪ delivers the public infrastructure required to support development in New South Wales ▪ achieves greater certainty, transparency, efficiency and fairness in the setting of infrastructure contributions ▪ identifies legislative regulatory changes necessary to implement the proposed reforms. During May and June 2020, I heard from some peak stakeholder groups and this helped me better understand the issues in the current infrastructure contributions system and shape the discussion in the Issues Paper. This Issues Paper is not NSW Government policy, but rather a broad summary of key issues with the existing system. It is designed to support community feedback on how we can best address these issues and ask questions that will inform broad reform directions. -

Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020
Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020 Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 Report prepared by the Social Research and Planning Team, Community and Place, Cumberland City Council 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Cumberland City Council acknowledges the Darug Nation and People as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Cumberland Local Government Area is situated and pays respect to Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services. -

(Strelitziaceae), a native of South Africa, is newly recorded as a sparingly naturalised weed for New South Wales and represents new family, generic and species records for the state. Descriptions, notes and identification key are provided for the family, genus and species. Introduction Strelitzia nicolai Regel & Körn. (Giant White Bird of Paradise or Natal Wild Banana; Strelitziaceae), a native of South Africa, is a common horticultural subject in eastern Australia. Recently a small colony of plants was discovered at Minnie Water (c. 60 km NNE of Coffs Harbour, North Coast, New South Wales). The colony is of note as some plants were 8 m tall (suggesting they had been there for some time) and that they were setting viable seed. Seedlings were found within this population and Milne and Luxton have observed that the species is being found in increasing numbers on council land and in National Parks of the area. -
