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.

  • STEM Community Partnerships Program
    STEM Community Partnerships Program Canterbury Bankstown local scenario Water The Canterbury Bankstown local government area is bounded three main catchment areas, with water flowing into the Cooks, Georges and Parramatta rivers. These catchments provide important habitat to many fauna and flora species in the area. Water is important in maintaining the biodiversity of this area and the community will benefit from managing this well. Damage to the natural waterways has increased due to increasing urbanisation, particularly with the growth of high-density dwellings. Research conducted by the City of Canterbury Bankstown estimates that 95% of the contaminant load of the waterways is from stormwater runoff. This affects the health and safety of the residents, as well as impacting on local flora and fauna. Council is implementing best practice management guidelines and education for the community. Council has also implemented numerous initiatives to support sustainability of the waterways, local community members can volunteer with Bushcare, Cooks River Alliance or the Georges River Combined Councils Committee (GRCCC). The Council is a member of the Georges Riverkeeper which is seeking to have a cleaner catchment from reducing litter, regenerating bush and being an advocate for natural resource management. Council has also partnered with Sydney Water to reduce floating litter on the Cooks River. Litter boom traps have been installed at Boat Harbour, Hurlstone Park and Fifth Ave, Campsie. The one-way gate at the opening of the collection prevents the escape of trapped debris. The trap is inspected and serviced weekly to remove the litter, booms can capture 15-18m3 of litter per week.
