OPEN SPACE DEFINITIONS The Sydney Open Spaces Audit was prepared in 2014 to identify all public open space within the Sydney metropolitan area. OPEN SPACE CATEGORIES From a recreational planning perspective, public open space can be differentiated into the categories of local, district and regional open space, reflecting the likely catchment and the facilities provided. This audit has focused on the provision of regional and non- regional open space. These are defined as follows: Category Catchment Regional City-wide metropolitan District Multiple neighbourhoods that may extend beyond LGA boundaries Non- Regional Local Single neighbourhood located close to or within residential areas. Regional and Non-regional open space is further differentiated by whether its primary use is for active or for passive recreation. Active open space is land set aside for the primary purpose of formal outdoor sports for the community. Active open space supports team sports, training and competition and typically features sports facilities such as playing fields, change rooms, grandstand and car parks. Passive open space is land set aside for parks, gardens, linear corridors, conservation bushland and nature reserves. These areas are made available for passive recreation, play and unstructured physical activity. Bushland is passive open space that includes vegetation which is either a remainder of the natural vegetation of the land or, if altered, is still representative of the structure and floristics of the natural vegetation. Bushland can include biodiversity corridors, reserves, national parks and wetlands. Many of these spaces provide more limited recreation or public access opportunities than other open space types. prepared by GAO. 29.02.16 Sydney Open Spaces: Draft Audit Summary AUDIT SUMMARY - NORTH DISTRICT * 2011 Population Source: NSW Area of District 90,000 ha Department of Planning and Environment, 2014 Total Population (2011*) 853,150 Summary Data Open space as % of the District 56% Open space per 1000 people 58.96 ha Total areas ha Open Space 50,300 Regional 43,617 Non-regional 6,656 Active 1,186 Passive 49,087 Bushland 46,568 prepared by GAO. 29.02.16 Sydney Open Spaces: Draft Audit Summary Marramarra National Park Berowra Valley National Park Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park Garigal National Park Lane Cove National Park Sydney Harbour National Park KEY District Boundary DRAFT LGA Boundary Open Space Road Rail Open space in the North District.

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.

FEEDING ECOLOGY OF AN INVASIVE PREDATOR ACROSS AN URBAN LAND USE GRADIENT Submitted by Ben Stepkovitch BSc (Advanced Science - Zoology) A thesis submitted in requirement for the degree of Master of Research Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment Western Sydney University September 2017 Supervisory panel: Dr. Justin Welbergen, Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment, Western Sydney University (Principal Supervisor) Dr. John Martin, Royal Botanic Garden & Domain Trust, Sydney (Principal Supervisor) Professor Christopher Dickman, School of Biological Sciences, University of Sydney (Associate Supervisor) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work undertaken for this study would not be possible without the contributions of many people and organisations. First and foremost, I must thank my supervisors Justin Welbergen, John Martin and Chris Dickman for all their help, support and expertise over the course of this project; and for going above and beyond to help explain concepts that I was unfamiliar with prior to this project. I must acknowledge the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment for supporting the costs involved with this study and for allowing me to attend conferences to present my research where I had valuable opportunities to network with other people in the field of vertebrate pest management and wildlife research. I would not have been able to put the time and effort into this project without the support of my parents, who kept a constant supply of leftovers in the fridge for me for when I would return home late from the lab or training. I must also thank my partner for putting up with me over the course of this project, even when I stunk out the car with roadkill foxes.

One key area where that commitment is being delivered is infrastructure. For more than 10 years, New South Wales Maritime has delivered improved boating facilities statewide under a grants initiative now titled the Better Boating Program. This program started in 1998 and has since provided more than $25 million in grants to fund more than 470 boating facility projects across NSW. From small works like upgraded dinghy storage racks to large boat launching facilities with dual access ramps, pontoons and car/trailer parking, NSW Maritime is working with partners such as councils to fund dozens of projects every year.

Garigal National Park
GARIGAL NATIONAL PARK PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service As amended in December 2013 A plan of management for Garigal National Park was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 24 November 1998. Amendments to the plan were adopted by the Minister on 9 December 2013. This plan combines the 1998 plan with the amendments adopted in 2013. Acknowledgements This plan is based on a draft plan prepared by staff of the Field Services Division and the North Metropolitan District of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service with the assistance of Service specialist staff and the former Davidson Park State Recreation Area Trust. Crown Copyright 2013 Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment ISBN 978 1 74359 324 0 OEH 2013/0789 FOREWORD Garigal National Park covers over 2000 hectares of bushland in northern Sydney. It comprises the valley of Middle Harbour Creek and its tributaries, the slopes along the northern side of Middle Harbour as far as Bantry Bay and part of the catchment of Narrabeen Lakes. Garigal National Park has a wide variety of vegetation, and serves as a refuge for native plants and animals including many threatened and uncommon species. It also includes several significant Aboriginal sites and historic places, including the Bantry Bay explosives magazine complex. This makes it an important area for environmental education. It is also an important recreational resource and provides the opportunity for experiencing “the bush” close to the centre of Sydney. This plan of management will ensure that important natural and cultural heritage of Garigal National Park will be conserved.

Brendan’s mighty run, along with his teammates excellent placings, gave Australia the bronze medal. Congratulations to our great champion once more. Quite a few members have been on the sick and injured list over the last few weeks. We look forward to welcoming back Michael Cantley, Stephen Briant, Ray Dean and Phil Lobsey free of their injuries, along with others of whom we have not heard. Derek White spent a short time in hospital, but seemed fine when he called in one Tuesday evening; Peta Bray has overcome a bout of tonsillitis just in time for the Marathon; and Paul Whiteway is back with us after a touch of the lurgy. We send our good wishes to Patricia Doughty as she faces surgery this week. As The Rundown goes to press 8 Woodstock Runners are preparing their trips “across the ditch” to run in the Auckland Marathon and Half Marathon. For a number it will be their first Marathon and we wish them an enjoyable experience and one of which they will be proud and happy.
