Community consultation at the City of Sydney

The draft Neighbourhood Parking Policy review proposes a number of changes to parking rules in the City of Sydney.  It does not include parking in the CBD.  The draft policy is now on exhibition until 5 July 2013.

The draft policy aims to provide a simpler, more consistent and user friendly set of parking guidelines. For more information visit the City's On Exhibition page.

As part of the City of Sydney's ongoing program to improve our parks, we are planning to improve the Reg Bartley Oval in Rushcutters Bay Park.

This much loved oval has been serving the sporting and recreational needs of city residents for more than 125 years. The proposed improvement works will address maintenance and safety issues to the oval.

Wilmot and Central Streets are situated within the Southern Precinct of the City and adjacent to the Event Cinemas Complex and the Metro Theatre. They provide a strong pedestrian link between George Street and Pitt Street.

We have developed a concept design for the two laneways that includes shared zones to optimise pedestrian use and safety while maintaining existing vehicle access.

Opportunities for businesses to generate a vibrant public street life by day and night are being explored. Wilmot Street users will enjoy an extended outdoor dining/entertaining area closed to vehicles.

We invite you to comment on the draft concept plan to upgrade the open space at the intersection of Bayswater Road and Roslyn Street, Rushcutters Bay.

This project is part of our vision to green Bayswater Road and improve City’s local parks. Initial consultation for the upgrade took place in September 2012. The proposal gained endorsement from the Local Pedestrian Cycling and Traffic Calming Committee in September last year. We are hoping to finalise the draft concept design in July 2013.

Are you interested in our environment? Would you like to join the Cooks River Alliance Board of management? You do not need any special skills or experience, just an interest in the Cooks River and a passion for making a difference!

The Alliance is now calling for expressions of interest for Community Representatives who will have a say on the direction of the Cooks River Alliance, and provide unique local resident perspectives.

The Community Representatives will help councillors govern the Cooks River Alliance, and make sure local issues are on the table.  Applications close Friday 31 May 2013.

The City of Sydney is producing its corporate plans to meet the Integrated Planning and Reporting requirements set by the NSW Government. You can have your say on the draft plans, including the Community Strategic Plan, the Corporate Plan, the Operational Plan and the Resourcing Strategy before they are adopted. Submissions close at 5pm on 12 June 2013.
