Ryan’s Story “Ten year old Ryan Kim (pictured right) was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at age four. Before then, he was just like any normal, happy and active toddler. Life changed when the local preschool noticed that Ryan had trouble walking and could not use the stairs very well. Lots of tests later, the Kim family had to start dealing with the fact that Ryan’s life expectancy would be greatly limited. Ryan is a beautiful soul and a fighter. He has learning difficulties due to his condition but he has never given up on his love for school. In Year 3, Ryan’s physical condition worsened and doctors realised it was time he needed an electric wheelchair. Now in Year 4, Ryan drives his electric ‘wheelie’ around the school, always with a smile on his face. There was great excitement when Ryan received his ‘P’ plates earlier this year!

  • Aborigines in the Hills District the Cumberland Plain Aboriginal
    Aborigines in the Hills District The Cumberland Plain Aboriginal people have been living in the Sydney region for at least 40,000 years.1 The people living in The Hills belonged to the Darug tribe of which there were a number of family groups or clans that were nomadic within a specific area. For example, the Burramattagal clan (burra - eels and fish, matta – place of fresh running water) occupied the Parramatta/North Rocks area of Hunts and Darling Mills Creeks; the Toongagal or Tuga clan (place of thick woods) lived in the Toongabbie Creek/Hawkesbury River catchment. These clans spoke the inland dialect of the Darug language.2 The Darug people were not confined only to The Hills area and spread out all over the Cumberland Plain. This area stretches from Windsor in the north to Picton in the south and into the inner west of Sydney. Most of Western Sydney was home to the Darug people and as such their traditions, culture and lifestyle is not unique to The Hills but represents Aborigines from a number of other local government areas as well. The Darug people of the Cumberland Plain usually camped within 100m of permanent water sources as a home base. There is evidence of camps further away than that however very few have been recorded as being further than 500m from water.3 Remains of both open camps and cave dwellings have been discovered in the Hills Shire, with charcoal drawings, shellfish middens, animal bones and stone flakes being discovered in caves. The rock dwellings found in the Darling Mills Creek area of West Pennant Hills date back almost 12,000 years.4 Culture and Diet Darug people travelled along the ridgelines (often the routes of present day roads) and followed creeks to sacred sites in the Hills District and elsewhere in Western Sydney for special ceremonies and gatherings.

  • 5. Parramatta
    5. PARRAMATTA 5.1 Introduction Parramatta Local Government Area occupies an area of 60 square kilometres, straddling the upper reaches of the Parramatta River, in eastern parts of the western Sydney region. There is a marked difference in landscape type between those areas to the north and south of the Parramatta River. To the south and west, undulating Wianamatta shales of the Fairfield Basin are broken by low-lying fingers of Quaternary alluvium along the major creek lines such as Prospect Creek, Duck River, the upper parts of Toongabbie Creek and their tributaries. A small sandstone outcrop along an upper section of Duck River has little impact on topography, but is reflected in the disjunct occurrence of sandstone species. To the north of the river the Hornsby Plateau-Cumberland Plain interface is marked by steep rises. Small remnants of Wianamatta shales occur on ridge-tops and deep valleys are incised into Hawkesbury sandstone along creeks draining from the plateau. Soil landscapes reflect this variation in geology across the LGA. To the south and west the dominant soil landscape on the shales is Blacktown, with Birrong on the alluvium in drainage lines along the creeks. In the north-east beyond the still undulating shale and Blacktown soil landscape close to the river, the edge of the Hornsby Plateau produces a complex mosaic of soil landscapes including the shale-based Glenorie on the ridges, sandstone-based Gymea and Hawkesbury on the slopes and in the valleys, and patches of Lucas Heights associated with outcropping Mittagong Formation lying between Wianamatta shale and Hawkesbury Sandstone.

  • More Than 1.3 Million NSW Households Unprepared for Severe Weather As Storm Season Begins
    Friday 30 October 2020 More than 1.3 million NSW households unprepared for severe weather as storm season begins NRMA Insurance data reveals most storm affected regions, suburbs and towns in NSW as severe weather hits the state New community research1 from NRMA Insurance reveals nearly two-thirds (62%) of NSW residents are worried severe weather such as storms are becoming more frequent and intense. But this community anxiety isn’t being translated into action. Only 57% feel their home and family are prepared for severe weather this summer, and just 35% have recently taken steps to prepare. This means more than 1.3 million households2 may be unprepared for severe weather this summer. NRMA Insurance Executive General Manager Claims, Luke Gallagher said: “With Australia currently experiencing a La Niña weather system, we could see more severe storms and more intense rain hitting NSW throughout storm season this year. “The fact that over a million households in NSW may not be prepared for severe weather and dangerous storms this summer is a major concern.” The NRMA Insurance community research also found: • 85% say they experience ‘storm stress’, with the top three areas of concern being potential damage to homes (53%), the ability to drive safely in difficult conditions (40%) and potential damage to vehicles (38%); • 43% are worried that climate change is making storms more frequent and intense; and • 40% also say they are nervous about the potential for severe weather this summer. These insights from NSW residents are particularly concerning given the latest NRMA Insurance claims data3 which reveals NSW experienced one of its most intense ‘Storm Seasons’ (October to March each year) earlier this year, with over half (54%) of all home claims in the 2019-20 financial year caused by storm damage.

  • Submission Regarding Greater Sydney Commission Draft North District Plan
    Submission regarding Greater Sydney Commission Draft North District Plan Introduction Pennant Hills District Civic Trust (the Trust) represents the Pennant Hills community with the aims of preserving the qualities, and the amenity of the area, and providing a community voice to achieve these aims. Pennant Hills is located in the Hornsby Shire and is primarily a residential suburb. The physical location is close to the Macquarie Park Strategic Area and has a train connections to , Hornsby and the Macquarie Park, North Sydney, Sydney CBD economic corridor. Pennant Hills has been in a state of flux for several years while waiting for the development of a Masterplan. New major developments have resulted from a combination of ad-hoc developer driven projects, NSW government Gateway developments and Hornsby Council approved developments. It has been difficult for the different decision makes to coordinate an overall plan for urban development in Pennant Hills. We hope the Greater Sydney Commission (GSC) can assist in this coordination by building a coherent plan and more certainty of direction for the community. The Trust has been actively trying to work with local decision makers to develop a roadmap for Pennant Hills. For example, the Trust has also engaged with the GSC Hornsby Council, special interest groups and local state and federal members: • GSC – Deborah Dearing was a Keynote at AGM 2016. The Trust would like to learn from the lessons in dealing with other districts and how they apply to North District and Pennant Hills. • Special interest groups include residents and statuary authorities in relation to the freight rail line and NorthConnex.
