Background

The delivery program 2011-15 (strategic Goal 3.6.4) requires that an Annual Report be submitted to Council summarising the actions for the various sustainability and environmental initiatives.

Council has numerous plans that are focused on Environmental Sustainability which include measures to promote and contribute to responsible decision making in order to lessen our impact on our local environment.

(ITEM IN4/16) CONTAINER DEPOSIT SCHEME - PUBLIC CONSULTATION


The NSW Government released a discussion paper in December of 2015 for the development and implementation of a state based Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) which is to be implemented by 1 July 2017.

The discussion paper can be viewed at http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/container-deposit-scheme.htm

The CDS aims to reduce drink container litter in accordance with the State Government’s aim of reducing litter in the environment. Similar schemes are successfully operating in both South Australia and the Northern Territory. The main criteria that the Government has identified for implementing such a scheme are that it:

is cost efficient gives people an incentive to return drink containers targets drink containers used away from home complements rather than competes with, existing kerbside collection services uses modern technology such as reverse vending machines where possible

The government has committed to broad consultation with the community and stakeholders



with a view to developing a CDS which will be world’s best practice.

The final date for submissions is 26 February 2016. Council is represented on a technical officers working group through SSROC with a view to developing and submitting a regional submission on the proposal to the Government.

The SSROC working group is considering all options as to the structure of the proposed scheme and potential affect it might have on existing Council operations including kerbside recycling collections and contracts. It is planned to have the SSROC submission completed and submitted prior to the closing date.

Further consultation will occur once a preferred system has been agree upon.

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE – COUNCIL MEETING OF 7 DECEMBER 2015Question Response

Q54 – Councillor Lesley Furneaux-Cook

PLC is undergoing major renovations near Meta Street, Croydon, given the age of the building, does the school have an Asbestos Removal Plan in place?

A specific Asbestos Management Plan was not requested, however, the Consent that was issued (BD.2015.049) includes conditions requiring the proper and legal removal of any asbestos throughout the demolition process, as well as compliance with the Australian Standard for demolition.

There is also the requirement for a site validation report relating to site contamination to certify that the property is suitable for the proposed use. The report is to be submitted to Council for approval prior to the issue of an Occupation Certificate. Council has also included the requirement for the submission of an Environmental Management Plan, which can be enforced during the course of the development in regards to Asbestos.

If there are any specific concerns about asbestos, these should be reported to the Private Certifying Authority (PCA) as Council is not the Certifying Authority for this development. The PCA details are:

(ITEM IN9/16) PRE-GATEWAY REVIEW OF PLANNING PROPOSAL FOR SOUTHERN SIDE OF COOPER STREET, STRATHFIELD


This report provides an update on the pre-gateway review of the Planning Proposal (PP) for the southern side of Cooper Street, Strathfield.


(ITEM IN10/16) PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AROUND CROYDON STATION


Council received a letter dated 15 February 2016 from Dr Paul Burgis, Principal of Presbyterian Ladies College (PLC), in relation to pedestrian and traffic management around Croydon Station. Dr Burgis advised that there is currently major development works being undertaken within the school known as the ‘Gateway Project’. This project requires construction vehicles access to and from the school via cul-de-sac at the northern end of Meta Street.

In the letter Dr Burgis raised concerns about an upcoming temporary road closure at the intersection of Meta Street and Hennessey Street to facilitate the concurrent Transport for NSW (TfNSW) upgrade works at Croydon Station, and the impact it would have upon the school’s construction program. To address this potential conflict Dr Burgis proposed relocation of the school’s construction vehicle access as well as the relocation of the existing pedestrian crossing in Young Street further west.

In order to ensure all stakeholders were aware of upcoming road closures and proposed changes to pedestrian and traffic management around Croydon Station, a meeting was held on 18 February 2016 with representatives of PLC, TfNSW, Burwood Council, Ashfield Council and John Holland Constructions, the principal contractor undertaking the Croydon Station upgrade project. At the meeting it was confirmed that the closure of the intersection at Meta Street and Hennessey Street is required for one or two occasions per year by John Holland Constructions, and would take place over the weekend. It was also confirmed that the closure would not commence until after 1.00pm on the Saturday to allow PLC to work up until their approved construction time.

As a result of the confirmation by John Holland Construction of the temporary road closure extent, it was agreed that PLC would not be required to relocate their construction vehicle access away from Meta Street, nor would the relocation of the existing pedestrian crossing in Young Street be required.

Following this, Burwood Council Officers agreed to work with PLC to help improve access to and from the school via Meta Street whilst also ensuring pedestrian safety is maintained,



and parking is provided wherever possible to assist businesses along Hennessey Street. In addition to this, John Holland Constructions Project Manager agreed to ensure regular updates were provided to PLC in relation to any future road closures which may impact upon the school.


(ITEM MM1/16) DRAINAGE & STORMWATER ISSUES IN HUNT STREET ENFIELD AND ACTON STREET CROYDON


I have recently received representation from local residents in Hunt Street Enfield, Acton Street Croydon and Launcelot Avenue Croydon Park about excess overland flooding associated with the recent unseasonal downpours in Sydney. I am aware of the level of water inundation that has occurred in Sydney as a result of our recent storms in January 2016 is unprecedented.

The severity and duration of the rainfall has broken water records in Sydney and has caused problems in some of our streets in Burwood.

Upon meeting with residents in Hunt Street, I noticed that the end of Hunt Street closest to Henley Park is a dead end. However, similar streets like Short Street end in a cul-de-sac which has been designed to allow any capture in stormwater to flow through the culd-de-sac into Henley Park.

I, therefore, ask the General Manager to investigate the drainage and stormwater issues in Hunt Street, Acton Street Croydon (intersection with Monash Parade Croydon) and Launcelot Avenue Croydon Park; consider a redesign at the end of Hunt Street to provide for an access path of street water through to and onto Henley Park; the Mayor send a letter to the residents in Hunt Street explaining that an investigation of the flood issues is to be undertaken and, depending on the design outcomes, the funding will be considered as part of a review of this year’s Capital Works budget or in next year’s Capital Works budget.


1. The General Manager to investigate the drainage and stormwater issues in Hunt Street Enfield, Acton Street Croydon (intersection with Monash Parade Croydon) and Launcelot Avenue Croydon Park.

2. The investigation to include a redesign at the end of Hunt Street Enfield to provide for an access path of street water through to and onto Henley Park.

3. The Mayor sends a letter to the residents in Hunt Street Enfield and Acton Street Croydon explaining that an investigation of the flood issues is to be undertaken and, depending on the design outcomes, the funding will be considered as part of a review of this year’s Capital Works budget or in next year’s Capital Works budget.
