BRIEFING NOTE To: All Councillors From: Chief Executive Officer, Michael Deegan Date: 15 September 2020 Subject: Revision of Region 6 Bus Network
Councillors, Transport for New South Wales, in conjunction with Transit Systems, has recently announced that from 25 October 2020 several bus routes in Sydney’s Region 6 (Inner West) will be modified. It is understood that these changes have been proposed to:
• reduce the number of buses in the CBD by encouraging interchange between buses and the CBD light rail; • improve overall network efficiency; • provide greater reliability/predictability; and • cater for changing travel demand. The changes can be viewed at: https://transportnsw.info/news/2020/inner-west-bus-service-changes In summary the changes include:
• Provision of approximately 1000 additional services per week; • Withdrawal of existing M10, M50, 436, 439, L39 services – proposed to be supplemented by new or modified routes; • Increased frequency on some routes (e.g. 412, 413, 433, 438X, 440, 445, 461X, 464, 504); • Introduction of new routes (eg 437, 438X, 461X, 503); o New Route 437 - between Five Dock and City via Rodd Point, Haberfield, Leichhardt, Lilyfield and City West Link; o New all-day, limited-stops, Route 438X (express version of 438) - between Abbotsford and the City; o New all-day, limited-stops, route 461X (express version of 461) - between Burwood and the City; o New Route 503 - between Drummoyne (Bayswater St) and the City, operating during weekday peak periods; • Modification of some existing routes and timetables (eg 413, 466, 502);
o Route 413 (Campsie – City via Parramatta Road) - terminating at Railway Square rather than Martin Place and encouraging interchange with CBD Light Rail; o Route 466 (Cabarita Park to Ashfield via Burwood) - no longer operating to Ashfield. It is proposed that an upgraded Route 464 will replace the 466 between Burwood and Ashfield; o Route 502 (Five Dock to Town Hall via Drummoyne) - to provide a new all- day route between Cabarita, Concord, Five Dock and Drummoyne. It is generally considered that the changes will result in an overall improvement to services to/from, as well as within, the Inner West, however some passenger inconvenience will result from the need to transfer on a limited number of journeys.

Dear Resident
Rozelle Resident Parking Scheme
Your feedback requested
In response to feedback from the community regarding on-street parking availability, the Rozelle Interchange project has been working with Inner West Council to develop a resident parking scheme in Rozelle. The purpose of the proposed scheme is to ensure that on-street parking remains accessible to residents and their visitors in areas where parking availability is limited.
Parking Scheme Proposal
We are proposing to implement parking restrictions in the areas indicated on the map overleaf.
Under the proposed scheme, residents on affected streets will be eligible for resident parking.
Non-permit holders parked in the identified areas would be restricted to 2-hour parking between the hours of 8.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday. There would be no restrictions outside of those hours.
No Stopping zones would be signposted 10m from each intersection on streets where restricted parking is proposed to be installed.
The Inner West Council’s policies regarding eligibility for resident parking permits can be viewed at: https://www.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/live/information-for-residents/parking/permit-parking
Review period
The scheme would be subject to a review once the Rozelle Interchange project is completed in late 2023, at which time the community would be given an opportunity to provide feedback on whether the scheme should continue.
Have your say
We welcome your feedback on the proposed resident parking scheme and will accept submissions on the proposal until 25 September 2020. You can provide your feedback by going to
An update on the proposal will be provided to the community upon completion of the consultation period.
Yours sincerely,
