PROPOSED CHANGES TO CROWN STREET

Council is seeking residents’ feedback regarding proposed traffic calming devices on Crown Street.

Previously, residents were provided with concept plans for angled slow points on Crown Street at the entrance to the access road to Henley community centre, south of Kelly street near #17, and a centre island at the intersection of Sherwin Street. This was in response to the recent vehicle accidents at the intersection Crown Street and Sherwin Street and to address vehicle speeds.

Feedback indicated that there was general support shown for traffic calming devices on Crown Street to slow vehicle speeds, however, concerns were raised with any loss of parking.

Detailed designs have been undertaken to introduce traffic calming devices to reduce speeds while minimising the loss of parking.

Angled slow points are proposed at the southern side of the intersection of Kelly Street and Crown Street (one lane) and at the access driveway to the community centre (two lane). Both traffic facilities will reduce vehicle speeds as vehicles will need to slow down to negotiate the shift in the travel movement. At the one lane angled slow point at the intersection of Crown Street and Kelly Street, vehicles will need to also slow down to give way to opposing traffic. Larger vehicles may be restricted depending on their length, and the slow points have been designed to be mountable for larger vehicles. There will be a total loss of 5 parking spaces (3 on the western side, 2 on the eastern side) at the access driveway and no legal loss of parking at Crown Street and Kelly Street.

A refuge island is proposed at the intersection of Crown Street and Sherwin Street which will permit pedestrians to cross in two stages if required. To assist vehicle turning movements, parking will need to be restricted on the south side of Sherwin Street opposite Crown Street, which will result in the loss of 2 parking spaces. Please see attached plans for details.

Council has dedicated funding to this project for this financial year, and the project will commence taking into consideration any feedback where applicable.

All feedback regarding these changes are to be included on the attached feedback forms and submitted by Tuesday 31^st of May 2022 to Council at customerservice@huntershill.nsw.gov.au marked to the attention of Leanne Stathakis, or post to, PO Box 21, 22 Alexandra Street, Hunters Hill NSW 2110. Should you require any further information please contact Leanne Stathakis on 9879 9453.

PROPOSED CHANGES TO CROWN STREET

VICTORIA ROAD TO SHERWIN STREET

In response to two vehicle accidents at the start of the year and three previous vehicle accidents at the intersection of Crown Street and Sherwin Street, Council is proposing traffic calming measures along Crown Street to regulate vehicle speed and hence improve road safety.

Council investigation revealed that vehicle speed as a contributing factor to these accidents. Traffic counts indicate that 85^% of vehicles travelling southbound on Crown Street are above the 50km/h speed limit and are travelling at 57km/h.

To reduce vehicle speed, Council is proposing the following traffic devices along crown Street:

1. An angle slow point near the access road to Henley Community Centre/ Riverside Preschool
2. An angle slow point south of Kelly Street adjacent to No. 17 Crown Street
3. A median traffic island at the intersection of Crown Street and Sherwin Street.

The concept design has considered maintaining property access and to provide a device with minimum loss to the local amenity to residents while addressing vehicle speed. However, at each angle slow point there will be a loss of 2 parking spaces on either side of Crown Street adjacent to the device. There may be opportunity during detail design to reduce the loss of parking at the angle device south of Kelly Street. Please see plans below.

Should there be support shown by the community for the proposal, detailed design will be undertaken taking into consideration any feedback prior to Council resolution.

All feedback regarding this proposal should be submitted by Monday 11 October 2021 in writing to Council at customerservice@huntershill.nsw.gov.au marked to the attention of Leanne Stathakis, or post to, PO Box 21, 22 Alexandra Street, Hunters Hill NSW 2110. Should you require any further information please contact Leanne Stathakis on 9879 9453.

Advice of upcoming temporary traffic and parking changes to facilitate the remediation of sites in Nelson Parade.

Our Council is working with the NSW Government on a traffic management plan as part of the broader State-led project to remove contaminated waste from properties at 7-11 Nelson Parade.

The properties are contaminated because of previous industrial activities that operated on the site in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Property NSW has been granted planning approval to proceed with its remediation plans, including the offsite disposal of contaminated material at a licensed facility in Idaho, USA.

A traffic management plan outlines the route that vehicles will take when establishing the site, removing the contaminated waste and during demobilisation from the site. The entry and exit route to and from the site is: Burns Bay Road, Church Street, Alexandra Street, Ferry Street, Woolwich Road, Gladstone Avenue, Prince George Parade and Nelson Parade.

The traffic generated by the project will be limited, however parking changes will be required to ensure that trucks are able to pass through the route unimpeded.

It is expected that there will be three loaded trucks departing the site each day, with the first departing at about 7.30am – 8am and the last leaving by about 2pm – 2.30pm. The project team estimates that it will take approximately 7 – 13 months to complete the project.

In order to facilitate the movement of construction vehicles, the traffic management plan proposes that a number of changes be made to the local parking restrictions from Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm for the duration of the project. (See the map below).

Access to properties along the route will be maintained during the works. Traffic control will be in place to manage truck access into and out of the site.

To help minimise disruption to parking near residences and schools, a temporary parking site is proposed in Weil Park.

The project team is aiming to start work as soon as possible (potentially July), following the approval of all of the relevant management plans.

Proposed temporary parking restrictions

If you require further information, please contact William Tai at Property NSW on 0410 539 269.

An intergenerational workout space is coming to Boronia Oval in the next fortnight.

It follows a participation opportunity in late 2020 in which we asked our community about the style of exercise equipment you would like to see.

The 2020 Plan of Management for Boronia Park provides for outdoor exercise equipment to be installed at Boronia Park, near the netball courts.

About 50 mature trees will be planted in Riverglade Reserve in the week starting 7 June 2021.

This work has been funded by the Department of Planning’s Greening Our City grant program.

Trees that will be planted include Melaleuca (Snow in Summer), Waterhousea (Weeping Lilly Pilly) and Lophostemon (Brush Box).

The Riverglade Reserve Plan of Management Landscape Concept Plan identified the need for increased tree canopy along the shared pathway and proposed playground to provide additional shade and habitat in the reserve.

The following is an update on work being undertaking to manage Flying-foxes in the Tarban Creek area.

Council recently received a Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) grant to install an automatic irrigation system along Richmond Crescent to deter Flying-foxes from the bushland edge and foraging in adjacent residential properties.

The aim of the automatic irrigation system is to gradually nudge Flying-foxes from the bushland edge downslope into the creek line vegetation.

This action is part of our Tarban Creek Flying-fox Camp Management Plan, which provides for buffers without vegetation removal, and follows successful trials in other areas, such as Camelia Gardens in the Sutherland Shire.

The Richmond Crescent sprinklers are being installed at the top of 40-millimetre diameter black powder coated steel posts, and once installed will be about six metres high.

There will be six posts with about 15 metres spacing. High density poly pipe will be installed within the steel poles to minimise damage or vandalism.

Battery timers will be installed for each post and will have a number of different start times per day. Sprinklers will initially be trialled with a 180-degree angle into the bush, for five minutes every two to three hours, commencing at dawn and won’t operate overnight.

The irrigation system will not be used during the Flying-fox pre- and post-birthing season (August to January). Council staff will monitor for young before and after this period.

It is anticipated that the irrigation system will be fully operational from February to May 2022, during the mating season when the noise, smell and density of Flying-foxes has the greatest impact on the adjoining residential properties.

Council staff, with the advice of local wildlife groups (Sydney Wildlife and WIRES), will monitor the impact on the Flying-fox camp and native vegetation as per DPIE conditions and guidelines when sprinklers are on and off.

It is anticipated that monitoring will be conducted for a 12-month period after which time the use of the irrigation system will be reviewed.

Council has received approval from Sydney Water and a threatened species licence for the automatic irrigation system.

We wish to advise of drainage works that will be undertaken on behalf of Council in the near future across Hunters Hill.

The aim of the works it to improve the safety, quality and condition of the drainage that leads to pits near properties.

The scope of the works includes:

• Relining the drainage with a sock-like layer on the inside of the pits. This will be done by feeding this material through one pit and collecting it from a pit on the other side.
• A minimally invasive job that will work within the pit limits and is not expected to have a significant impact on residents.
• As part of the process of curing and drying the material that is fed through the pits, heat may be rising out of the pits, however this will be controlled by professionals tending to this on site at all times

The works will be undertaken by Downer EDI, contracted to Council.

Works are estimated to start around mid-June and may potentially cause some minor traffic congestion at times. Traffic management professionals will be on site to assist in minimising the impact.

13 May 2021:

A new order, Environmental Planning and Assessment (COVID-19 Development—Construction Work Days) Order 2021, has been gazetted.  The purpose of this Order is to change the commencement date of the previous Order from 19 May 2021 to 7 June 2021.

From 7 June 2021, construction work days and hours will return to those set out in a development consent or hours permitted under the Codes SEPP for certain types of complying development. Construction will no longer be able to take place on Sunday or public holidays, unless specifically permitted in a development consent.

10 May 2021:

An update on the status of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (COVID-19 Development – Construction Work Days) Order 2020.

In March 2020 the NSW Government introduced the Environmental Planning and Assessment (COVID-19 Development – Construction Work Days) Order 2020, allowing weekday construction site operating hours to be extended to weekends and public holidays to ensure workers could practice social distancing without a loss of productivity or jobs.

This Order was originally for a period of 12 months, but was extended in March 2021.

Now, the Minister has signed Environmental Planning and Assessment (COVID-19 Development—Construction Work Days) Order (No 1) 2021 which revokes the Construction Work Days Order.

The new Order will commence in 14 days. Once the Order commences, construction work days and hours will return to those set out in a development consent, or hours permitted under the Codes SEPP (7am – 5pm, Monday to Saturday) for certain types of complying development. Construction will no longer be able to take place on Sunday or public holidays, unless specifically permitted in a development consent.

As there are no health orders that are currently in place that mandate social distancing on work sites, the Order allowing weekday construction site operating hours to be extended to weekends and public holidays has been revoked by the Environmental Planning and Assessment (COVID-19 Development – Construction Work Days) Order (No.1) 2021, commencing on 18 May 2021.

Therefore, from Tuesday 18 May 2021 construction site operating hours on weekends and public holidays will again be restricted in accordance with conditions of the Development Consent or Complying Development Certificate for the development.

We wish to advise of proposed works to install a new stormwater system and upgrade streetscapes along Ryde Road.

The purpose of this project is to address the poor condition of the stormwater system that is currently causing minor flooding events.

The scope of the works will include addressing the flood issue by installing a new stormwater system and upgrading the surrounding streetscapes.

Please find design drawings below, as well of precedent images of the style of works proposed.

If you would like to provide feedback, please do so by 10 May, 2021.

Property NSW, now part of Property & Development NSW, has been granted planning approval to proceed with its remediation plans for the Old Radium Hill Refinery site at Nelson Parade, Hunters Hill, including the offsite disposal of contaminated material at a licensed facility in Idaho, USA.

This remediation approach received overwhelming support from Hunter’s Hill Council and the Hunters Hill community and will solve a century-old contamination issue created by the private sector.

Excavation works are expected to start by mid-2021, with remediation works expected to take 13 months to complete.

The health and safety of the community will be the number one priority during site remediation works and the transportation of material.

An Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) representative will be onsite to supervise the excavation and packing of the contaminated material into sealed bags and containers prior to transport to the USA.

Once onsite excavation works begin, dust monitoring reports will be regularly published on the NSW Planning Industry and Environment webpage, along with other project updates and relevant reports.

Nelson Parade residents will also continue to be kept up to date directly as the project progresses.

Copy of notification to residents:

As part of our commitment to improving local infrastructure, please be advised of a scheduled tree removal of a Ficus Microcarpa Hillii Tree on the corner of Wybalena and Fern road, Hunters Hill.

The tree removal will be commencing 23/4/2021, weather permitting. This tree is required for removal due to signs of splitting in the trunk and decay throughout the trunk base.

These initial works will involve:

• Tree Removal
• Stump Grinding

Due to the location of the tree and its size, Councils contractors will have traffic controllers on site from 7:30am and will have to close the road during the removal so that they can work safely, they will also have a crane on site to help with the removal. I understand this may cause some inconvenience for you and we appreciate your understanding at this time.

Please be advised this may affect access to your property, however every endeavour will be made by Councils contractor to minimise disruptions and inconvenience for the local residents. You are advised to remove your vehicle from your driveway prior to the work commencing as Wybalena Road will be closed at the intersection of St Malo Avenue, this is to ensure accessibility to your vehicle is not affected.

Grey-headed Flying-foxes are important pollinators and seed dispersers. They will travel large distances often up to 30km from their camp to forage. Grey-headed Flying-fox numbers fluctuate annually and seasonally as they migrate in response to the seasonal availability of food resources. The noise and smell is related to their behaviour at the moment i.e. mainly males are defending territories throughout the night. This noise is likely to be reduced from around mid-May.

The Grey-headed Flying-foxes are listed as a threatened species both state wide and nationally. Therefore Council must prepare a Camp Management Plan before undertaking any management actions. In August 2020 Council adopted a Camp Management Plan for the Tarban Creek Grey-headed Flying-fox camp and engaged Ecological Consultants Australia Pty Ltd to provide expert input into the Plan. Extensive community consultation was undertaken and there were 111 responses to the online survey, 49 household surveys adjoining Riverglade Reserve, 99 in park surveys, 85 responses to a second online flying-fox engage survey (where the community  ranked management options) and 17 submissions received from public exhibition period in July-August 2019.

Level one actions identified in table 1.0a page 2 from the Tarban Creek Flying Fox Camp Management Plan (CMP) are currently being implemented.

Grey-headed Flying-fox pose no health risks unless you are bitten or scratched, so never directly handle them. The risk of animals’ transmitting disease to humans is extremely low.  Coming into contact with faecal matter or urine will not transmit diseases and apply basic hygiene measures.

Below is detail of the progress on the action plan at Friday 7 May 2021

The health and safety of the community will be the number one priority during site remediation works and the transportation of material.

An Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) representative will be onsite to supervise the excavation and packing of the contaminated material into sealed bags and containers prior to transport to the USA.

Once onsite excavation works begin, dust monitoring reports will be regularly published on the NSW Planning Industry and Environment webpage, along with other project updates and relevant reports.

Nelson Parade residents will also continue to be kept up to date directly as the project progresses.

Copy of notification to residents:

As part of our commitment to improving local infrastructure, please be advised of a scheduled tree removal of a Ficus Microcarpa Hillii Tree on the corner of Wybalena and Fern road, Hunters Hill.

The tree removal will be commencing 23/4/2021, weather permitting. This tree is required for removal due to signs of splitting in the trunk and decay throughout the trunk base.

These initial works will involve:

• Tree Removal
• Stump Grinding

Due to the location of the tree and its size, Councils contractors will have traffic controllers on site from 7:30am and will have to close the road during the removal so that they can work safely, they will also have a crane on site to help with the removal. I understand this may cause some inconvenience for you and we appreciate your understanding at this time.

Please be advised this may affect access to your property, however every endeavour will be made by Councils contractor to minimise disruptions and inconvenience for the local residents. You are advised to remove your vehicle from your driveway prior to the work commencing as Wybalena Road will be closed at the intersection of St Malo Avenue, this is to ensure accessibility to your vehicle is not affected.

If you have any further questions regarding this please contact Customer Service on 9879 9400.

Yours sincerely,

Grey-headed Flying-foxes are important pollinators and seed dispersers. They will travel large distances often up to 30km from their camp to forage. Grey-headed Flying-fox numbers fluctuate annually and seasonally as they migrate in response to the seasonal availability of food resources. The noise and smell is related to their behaviour at the moment i.e. mainly males are defending territories throughout the night. This noise is likely to be reduced from around mid-May.

The Grey-headed Flying-foxes are listed as a threatened species both state wide and nationally. Therefore Council must prepare a Camp Management Plan before undertaking any management actions. In August 2020 Council adopted a Camp Management Plan for the Tarban Creek Grey-headed Flying-fox camp and engaged Ecological Consultants Australia Pty Ltd to provide expert input into the Plan. Extensive community consultation was undertaken and there were 111 responses to the online survey, 49 household surveys adjoining Riverglade Reserve, 99 in park surveys, 85 responses to a second online flying-fox engage survey (where the community  ranked management options) and 17 submissions received from public exhibition period in July-August 2019.

Level one actions identified in table 1.0a page 2 from the Tarban Creek Flying Fox Camp Management Plan (CMP) are currently being implemented.

Grey-headed Flying-fox pose no health risks unless you are bitten or scratched, so never directly handle them. The risk of animals’ transmitting disease to humans is extremely low.  Coming into contact with faecal matter or urine will not transmit diseases and apply basic hygiene measures.

Below is detail of the progress on the action plan at Friday 7 May 2021

If you have any further questions, please contact Jacqui Vollmer, Bushland Management Officer on 9879 9439

Information regarding access to to the UNSW Rowing sheds and Lot 3 of Huntley’s Cove is included below.

• There is a right of carriage way, that is for vehicles for the benefit of lot 3 (the farm house) and the rowing Club, with the burden on Council (i.e. it is our carriage way and there is nothing to preclude others from using this)
• There is a right of footway between lot 3 and the water way for the benefit of lot 3 however again there is nothing to preclude others from using.
• The unformed car park as referenced in the adopted Riverglade POM is under Council’s care control and management and therefore there is nothing to preclude that being used by members of the public.  As set out in the adopted POM it is planned that this car park be formalised:  ‘Upgraded car parking layout to be formalised with permeable hard surface’.  Given the concerns raised Council are obtaining quotes for this work to assess if we are able to bring forward.
• There is a small car park area that has signage to advise it is for residents and visitors.  This is incorrectly sign posted.  The area is road reserve and again under Council’s management under the Roads act.
• 

Council has recently commenced a shared depot arrangement with Lane Cove Council.

Following this change, we are looking at short-term leasing options for the Hunters Hill depot in D’Aram Street while its longer-term future is resolved.

Future opportunities for the depot site were included in the Draft Community Infrastructure Plan, which was publicly exhibited for community review and feedback in late 2020. Collation of this feedback is currently under way.

At present, we are working through a process to lease the depot for approximately the next two to three (2-3) years. This will allow us to deliver additional income to our community.

A selected agent will begin marketing the premises for lease in mid-April.

There is no change to the zoning or the range of allowable uses on the site. These are largely confined to depot or related facilities hence we anticipate no change, nor impacts on the surrounding properties.

We anticipate the marketing process will likely attract some occupier interest. Any interest received would be carefully scrutinised for its impact on the surrounding amenity.

Please feel free to contact hob@huntershill.nsw.gov.au or on 9879 9400 if you would like to discuss the matter further.

Investigations are continuing around the Collingwood Street roadway above Woolwich Baths, in relation to the damage that occurred there following recent storms and heavy rain.

We engaged an engineer to test the roadway. An inspection on 25 March deemed the roadway unsafe until reconstruction can occur.

Tests must be carried out before design work can start.

This will include some drilling into the embankment to test the stability of the roadway.

These tests are booked for the week of 12 April 2021, weather permitting. We are unable, at this stage, to get the drilling machine at an earlier date.

Once these tests are completed we will be able to organise an engineering report for Council to determine the next steps to make the area safe again.

We thank you for your cooperation and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Please contact us on 9879 9400 or at customerservice@huntershill.nsw.gov.au if you have any further questions.

The project is to remove the raised threshold on Manning Road and replace with a new pedestrian refuge island, with aim to improve the safety, quality and condition of the Manning Road pedestrian crossing.

A reverse vending machine will be installed in Henley Community Centre car park, following a decision of Hunter’s Hill Council at the Council meeting held 23 November, 2020). This was advertised by enewsletter, in printed communication and a dedicated news item. Key stakeholders were informed by email.

The machine accepts empty drink containers from users and provides them with a refund.

It will form part of the NSW Government’s Container Deposit Scheme, known as Return and Earn.

It is expected that installation of the reverse vending machine kiosk will provide benefits in terms of minimising waste and reduction of waste costs.

Installation work will be undertaken by Council works team, Tomra and Stateline, and will commence from 11 March.

We wish to advise the community of upcoming works at the end of De Milhau Road as part of a project designed to protect the bank and waterway, improve access and enhance safety for recreational activities.

Council has engaged authorised contractor All Civil Works Group Pty Ltd to undertake the works, which are expected to commence from 1 March 2021.

The scope of the works includes:

• Milling and restoration of the road, including construction works to the kerb and gutter and footpaths to meet new design levels;
• Building sandstone steps with a concealed concrete base;
• Building retaining walls;
• Landscaping works to the Reserve.

This project will improve access to the water, making it safer to carry watercraft such as dinghies and paddle boards to the shore for recreational purposes.

The works will also help protect the bank from collapsing and potentially causing sediment to spill into the waterway.

All Civil Works Group Pty Ltd is an authorised contractor selected from Council’s Civil Works and Associated Services Supplier Panel.

The estimated construction period is eight (8) weeks, subject to change weather depending.

The project is jointly funded by Council and Transport for NSW, with a construction cost of $310,743.

The map (see yellow shaded area) and photos show the location of the works.

The Development Application Consent was issued on 18 June 2020, DA no. 2020-1041.
