This year we will continue to provide essential services such as domestic waste collection, library and community services and maintaining our many parks and playgrounds while also delivering a range of exciting new community initiatives and capital works. The demolition phase of Liverpool Civic Place - the city’s biggest commercial redevelopment is complete, and the excavation phase has commenced. This exciting new complex will include a civic plaza, new Council offices, a childcare facility, city library and public parking. The Miller Social Infrastructure Masterplan is in progress and will provide the framework to renew and redevelop community facilities, parks and open spaces. The long-term vision for Miller includes a multi-purpose community hub, public library, redevelopment of Michael Wenden Aquatic Leisure Centre and enhanced green spaces and corridors. Council is progressing the first phase of the Liverpool City Centre Urban Forest Strategy, which includes the installation of more than 200 new trees within the Liverpool city centre. This project is co-funded by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment under the ‘5 Million Trees for Greater Sydney’ grant program and will increase the quantity of tree canopy and shade to assist with cooling the city centre. The next stage in planning for the Bradfield Aerotropolis is underway and Council continues to represent Liverpool’s interests to the NSW and Federal government. I am pleased that our advocacy around the Fifteenth Avenue Smart Transit (FAST) Corridor is being recognised. I also welcome the commitment by the NSW Government on the Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport and will continue to advocate for more direct train services to the city. I encourage the community to provide their input on these major initiatives to help deliver the best services and facilities for our future community and I look forward to sharing updates on our progress and achievements.

This is the last plan for the 2016 – 2021 Council Term, and I would like to recognise and commend to the community the achievements of the current Council during their term. As part of Western Sydney, Liverpool Local Government Area is in the midst of significant economic growth, infrastructural development and social transformation. These are exciting times. Throughout 2021-2022, Council will continue to advocate on behalf of all our stakeholders, whilst remaining fully committed to addressing matters of importance to the community and ensuring the efficient delivery of essential services. The plan outlines the significant projects that we have committed to and how we will continue to progress with existing partnerships that have a positive impact on the city and the local community. This includes the Western Sydney City Deal partnership and Resilient Sydney strategy which present opportunities to collaborate with our surrounding councils and deliver coordinated projects that facilitate beneficial outcomes for the city. As custodian for the City of Liverpool, Council will oversee a budget of $475 million in 2021-22 which includes $256 million for capital works and $219 million for operating expenditure. In terms of infrastructure, Council will be investing $246 million on the renewals, upgrades and construction including; • More than $50.2 million on roads, bridges and footpaths; • More than $88 million drainage and floodplain; • More than $11.4 million on parks and recreation; and • More than $96.4 million on buildings.

  • Historical and Contemporary Archaeologies of Social Housing: Changing Experiences of the Modern and New, 1870 to Present
    Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Dwyer School of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester 2014 Thesis abstract: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Emma Dwyer This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool.

  • Effectiveness of SRB Programmes Scrutiny
    Scrutiny Report to City Council The Effectiveness of Birmingham SRB Programmes in Getting People into Work safeguarded’ be retained only as an ancillary outcome measure of the employment impact. 5. Thematic regeneration schemes such as Enterprise Link, Core Skills and the CEBP were designed to focus on one particular aspect of the problems facing the community or business. Arguably this single focus has enabled the schemes to have greater impact. The early programmes arose partly because the funding previously allocated to those types of actions was brought into the SRB. Many of the comments we received about the early rounds indicated concern because the various agencies “who were said to be trying to get their money back.” However the schemes in Birmingham such as the Core Skills Programme have been nationally recognised as innovative best practice and several comments were received on the positive impact the schemes have had on mainstream services. 6. The area-based schemes are all complex initiatives targeting large densely populated urban areas. Within the scope of the SRB the programmes have tried to create a balance between projects designed to address social, economic and physical issues. In SRB 1 for example the total grant was £12.8m and the key actions included commercial area improvements, housing and education and labour market initiatives. The nature of the market failure in these areas is so severe that the programmes are in danger of spreading themselves too thinly to achieve a significant impact. This point was made several times by programme managers and board members alike. 6.3 The Partnership Process and Management arrangements 6.3.1 The Partnership Process A central feature to the SRBCF has been the partnership approach to regeneration.
