It may be owned or controlled by a public authority or non- profit community organisation. Various community facilities are located in proximity to the project alignment, providing spaces for community use, education, and social cohesion. These are listed below, with those directly affected by or immediately adjacent to the project listed first. These include: Strathfield Girl Guides Hall Yasmar Training Facility – a NSW Juvenile Justice facility that provides counselling and programs for young offenders Strathfield Men's Shed – a meeting place for men to share skills and activities Concord Community Centre, which provides space/rooms for hire Ella House which is operated by the St David’s Uniting Church and provides aged care and respite, along with training, social and respite activities for young people with intellectual and physical disabilities Haberfield Library – an Ashfield library branch library A former student hostel located on Concord Road. 5.3.2 Aged care Several residential aged care facilities provide high, low, dementia and respite care. These include: Haberfield Presbyterian Aged Care The Willows Private Nursing Home Chandos Nursing Home Ashfield Presbyterian Aged Care Ainsley Nursing Home Linburn Nursing Home Woodfield Retirements Village and Nursing Home Wyoming Nursing Home. 5.3.3 Education and childcare Five primary schools are located in proximity to the project alignment: Dobroyd Point Public School (also provides out of school hours and vacation care) Haberfield Public School Concord Public School St Mary’s Primary School St Joan of Arc Primary School (also provides out of school hours care). High schools in proximity of the project alignment are: Concord High School Rosebank College Burwood Girls High School. There are three combined (Kindergarten–Year 12) schools: Methodist Ladies College WestConnex M4 East 55 WestConnex Delivery Authority Social Impact Assessment McDonald College Lucas Gardens School (which provides educational programs for students with intellectual and physical disabilities). Additional information on schools is provided in Appendix C. The closest tertiary education provider to the local study area is TAFE NSW Western Sydney Institute – Open Training and Education Network (OTEN) Strathfield, which provides distance education. There are five childcare centres in proximity to the project alignment which offer long day care, outside of school hours care), preschool, and playgroups (see Figure 5.11). One of these centres, the Infants Home, provides five services within its grounds, as well as offering care for vulnerable children and children with special needs. Additional information on childcare centres is provided in Appendix C. 5.3.4 Sport and recreation Sport and recreation facilities provide important opportunities for both exercise and social interaction. There are a number of sport and recreation facilities, including: Bill Boyce Reserve (passive recreational space) Arnotts Reserve (passive recreational space) Ismay Reserve (passive recreational space) Powells Creek open space (passive recreational space) Concord Oval (rugby union, rugby league and soccer) Cintra Park hockey facility St Lukes Park (rugby, cricket, athletics) Reg Coady Reserve (three netball courts, playground and passive recreational space) Ashfield Park (football field, passive recreational space, and Ashfield Bowling Club) Cintra Park tennis courts (12 tennis courts) Sydney Olympic Park. 5.3.5 Health and emergency services No health or emergency services would be directly impacted by the proposal. The study area is part of the Central and Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network. Several hospitals are located in the region, including the Concord Repatriation General Hospital (NSW Health), and three private hospitals (Strathfield, Concord and St John of God Burwood). Residents in the eastern most parts of the study area also likely use the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital at Camperdown. Police, fire and ambulance emergency services are also located in the region. The closest police stations are Five Dock (Burwood LAC), Ashfield (Ashfield LAC) and Strathfield (Flemington LAC). Fire stations are located in Ashfield, Burwood and Concord. The closest NSW Ambulance station is in Summer Hill and St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) also operates an ambulance service in Burwood. Three State Emergency Service (SES) units are also located in the regional study area, including Canada Bay, Burwood and Ashfield/Leichhardt SES Units. WestConnex M4 East 56 WestConnex Delivery Authority Social Impact Assessment 5.3.6 Religious services In addition to their faith based activities, places of worship can play other important roles in communities, providing places for community interaction, services to local communities, as well as facilities for community use. The Zongde Buddhist Temple is located on Parramatta Road at Ashfield will be acquired for project construction. There are several Christian churches in the local study area (Baptist, Catholic, Anglican and Uniting). Two churches are also affiliated with particular ethnic groups (Korean, Lebanese), including the predominantly Sydney Cheil Uniting Church at Concord which will require partial property acquisition for the project. Additional information on religious services is in Appendix C. 5.3.7 Shopping Areas Several shopping areas are located within the regional study area which attract local and regional shoppers, including: Burwood Town Centre, which includes the main retail strip along Burwood Road, a major shopping centre (Westfield Burwood) and smaller shopping centre (Burwood Plaza) Bakehouse Quarter along George Street, North Strathfield – a commercial, retail and entertainment precinct with supermarkets, restaurants, bars and cafes Rhodes Peninsula, which includes a major shopping centre (Rhodes Waterside) Ashfield Town Centre along Liverpool Road, which includes a major shopping centre (Ashfield Mall) and restaurants Strathfield Town Centre, which includes a major shopping precinct and Strathfield Plaza shopping centre along The Boulevard Majors Bay Road Shopping Village – a retail and commercial strip with cafes and restaurants. Neighbourhood shopping areas close to the local study area include: Ramsay Street, Haberfield Concord Road, North Strathfield. 5.4 Access and Connectivity Whilst the arterial roads that facilitate through traffic are central to access and connectivity in the study area, their high traffic volumes and congestion can act as barriers to local access and connectivity. Parramatta Road, the M4, Wattle Street, Concord Road and Homebush Bay Drive/Centenary Drive provide the key east-west and north-south routes within the project local study area. Slow travel times and intersection delays can deter local and regional travel that crosses these routes. This road infrastructure also offers low amenity for pedestrian, cyclists and motorists. Local roads on the other hand offer streetscapes with trees and heritage housing, lower speed and quieter environments and the opportunity for pedestrian and cyclist movements. The local study area is well located for public transport, as discussed below. With proximity to employment and regional recreation centres, the area is also proposed to host three urban renewal precincts at Homebush, Burwood and Kings Bay as part of the Draft Parramatta Road Urban Renewal Strategy. 5.4.1 Public transport There are seven train stations proximal to the local study area. Strathfield is a major interchange on the Sydney Trains network. Strathfield and Burwood stations (to the south) also accommodate the highest volume of passengers due to the large number of AM and PM peak services. Table 5.7 below details the train lines available at each station.

  • Powells Creek Reserve Stormwater Harvesting System

    Powells Creek Reserve Stormwater Harvesting System

    Demonstration Project Case Study | Working Together to Sustain the Parramatta River PROJECT NAME Powells Creek Reserve Stormwater Harvesting System Overview RESPONSIBLE COUNCIL: The City of Canada Bay Powells Creek Reserve is a sporting and recreation precinct, including CONSTRUCTION DATE: 2008 open parkland, tennis courts, playing fields and a car park. The playing fields which make up an area of 16.25 hectares are heavily used by a LOCATION: The reserve is located off Victoria range sporting groups in the local area. This project installed a system Avenue, Concord West. of diverting (harvesting) stormwater runoff from the car park, storing SUB-CATCHMENT: Powells Creek and treating the stormwater and using it for irrigation of the playing fields. The harvested stormwater helps to reduce the amount of potable (drinking) water used to keep the playing fields healthy. Objectives The drivers for this project were the water restrictions in times of drought which limited the amount of potable water for irrigation of Council playing fields. Approximately 3.9ML of water is needed each year to irrigate the playing fields. The City of Canada Bay Council sought an alternative source of water to improve the standard of the playing field surface, whilst also adhering to periods of water restrictions. By capturing and treating the stormwater, the objectives are to: • Reduce the consumption of potable water for irrigation of the playing fields • Reduce the volume and frequency of stormwater runoff flowing into nearby creeks and natural areas • Contribute to water quality improvements in the Parramatta River catchment (by removing stormwater that would otherwise have carried pollutants into the River).

NNC CEO Liz Yeo said they were looking forward to the move and redesigning TFCC’s layout so it better suited their programs and needs. “The space also has a warm and welcoming outdoor garden that will be able to be utilised by staff, volunteers, clients and community members. We currently have staff located in two separate offices and this will give us the opportunity to come together as one team, and to invest what we would have spent on rent into services for our community,” she said. Tom Foster Community Centre will undergo a major refurbishment in early 2021 with the NCC moving in after this is completed. Council has opened a new childcare centre. Yirran Gumal Early Learning Centre in Steel Park Marrickville commenced with a limited intake of 20 children per day in late October. Over the next 12 months, enrolments will increase until the centre reaches its approved capacity of 60 children per day. The building incorporates multiple environmentally-sound features, including timber frames and solar water heating. Quality LED lighting, natural ventilation, and high efficiency air conditioning, and a small solar photovoltaic (PV) array will generate electric power - all of which mean meeting an energy benchmark 25% below most other childcare centres.
  • Non-Aboriginal Heritage Part 2

    Non-Aboriginal Heritage Part 2

    5.2.3 Historical archaeological management units In order to facilitate the management of archaeology the individual project footprints have been subdivided into discrete parcels of land referred to as HAMUs. The division of HAMUs takes into consideration factors such as the nature of the archaeological profile, the assessed level of archaeological potential, and existing geographic factors that create discrete parcels such as existing roads which impact on management recommendations. The Leichhardt, Rozelle, Iron Cove and Annandale project footprints have been divided into 11 separate HAMUs and each is described separately below in section 5.3 to section 5.8. As the Haberfield and St Peters project footprints have been previously assessed, no further recommendations for archaeological management have been developed as part of this assessment. An assessment of archaeological survival within each HAMU has been undertaken which compares past activities and events which may have resulted in the creation of archaeological remains against previous developments which are likely to have impacted or removed these remains. Based on this assessment the potential for archaeological remains to survive within each HAMU has been designated as either nil, low, moderate or high. Following the assessment of potential archaeology for the individual HAMUs, a preliminary heritage significance assessment for each one has been undertaken. Each HAMU has been ascribed either local or state heritage value in relation to their archaeological resources. Archaeological resources should be managed in accordance with their heritage significance. Each HAMU and its archaeological potential has been mapped, as shown in Figure 5-2 to Figure 5-9. 5.3 Area 1 – Haberfield/Ashfield (C1–C3) The archaeological potential and significance of the area that would comprise construction ancillary facilities for Option A has been previously assessed under the M4 East project (GML September 2015112) and all archaeological remains were managed during these works.

  • The Administration of the Juvenile Correction System Reverted to the Institutional Practices More Characteristic of the Middle of the Nineteenth Century

    The Administration of the Juvenile Correction System Reverted to the Institutional Practices More Characteristic of the Middle of the Nineteenth Century

    1 . ‘UNENLIGHTENED EFFICIENCY’: THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE JUVENILE CORRECTION SYSTEM IN NEW SOUTH WALES 1905-1988 Thesis for Doctorate of Philosophy University of Sydney Peter Quinn, January, 2004 2 Certification I certify that this work has not been submitted for a degree to any other university or institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by any other person, except where due reference has been made in the text. Peter Quinn January, 2004. 3 ABSTRACT This work traces the history of the juvenile correction system in twentieth century New South Wales, focusing on the evolution of major reforms aimed at curbing delinquency. The study begins in 1905 with the Neglected Children and Juvenile Offenders Act. It concludes in 1988, when another set of significant reforms, designed to deal with perceived inadequacies of the established system, commenced. The main focus of the thesis is the government system of corrections. Although there was an active non - government correction system, this sector was increasingly absorbed by the larger public sphere. The principal argument is that, although there were sporadic periods during which changes to the system were made, its progress through most of the twentieth century was characterised by an underlying attitude which regarded the boys and girls it dealt with, particularly those committed to institutions, as belonging to an inferior, delinquent class. As such, they were treated as the progeny of a criminal class destined for the most part to remain part of that class. This idea of a delinquent class coloured all aspects of the way juveniles were treated, specifically lack of resources, the dominance of economic considerations over the welfare of children, excessive regimentation, harsh discipline and illegal punishments.
