Recision Motion Leichhardt Park Plan of Management (adopted 11 November 2020)

-

Skate Park is in the wrong place and there will be a further loss of greenspace should the new rowing facility proceed at 16 in Zone 1.

Skate Plaza in Zone 4 

Zone 4: "06. Proposed location for Lilyfield Skate Plaza."

New Rowing Facility in  Zone 1  

01 . Option to relocate a segment of the Maliyawul Street Car Park to Peace Park to consolidate and increase public open green space within Leichhardt Park. Ensure that
there is no loss of the existing car parking capacity. Relocate 24 existing car spaces, with the addition of 2 new car spaces. 
Establish an area of new public open green space adjacent Leichhardt #3 that can be used for sports warm-up, spectating, dog
walking and general passive recreation. 
Service vehicle access can be permitted from northern end of Maliyawul Street for maintenance or emergency purposes. Note: this
proposal will not occur should the community rowing club proposal proceed at the location indicated (Zone 1, 16). 
 
There were a number of individual emails received from organisations or residents. Generally,
the responses were regarding strong support for the synthetic turf at Leichhardt Oval 2 and
strong opposition to the Para Rowing Club.
  • The main reasons the responses supported the synthetic turf were due to the increased usage of the fields, reduced water use in irrigation, management of maintenance and favourable playing surface for consistency and quality.
  • The main reasons the responses were opposed to the Para Rowing facility was due to the existing green space on the foreshore being disrupted by a third rowing club which can reach two storeys in height. 
Officer comments in response to public
exhibition
In response to the feedback received from the community, the following amendments have been
made to the Plan of Management and Master Plan.
1. Rowing facility has been included as a permissible use under the long term lease and
short term licence section of Leasing and Licencing
2. Confirmation that the link road between Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre and Leichhardt
Oval 3 will be one way from Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre.
3. Change from Para Rowing facility to being of ‘exceptional’ ecological standards to ‘high’
ecological standards. Source: Community Engagement Report https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/46797/widgets/250073/documents/188803/download

White's Creek Catchment in the Rain

-
Checked out White's Creek Catchment in the rain with a few long time residents including an 82 year old who was born at the Private Hospital where the Leichhardt Bolo is and moved to where she lives now when she was 1. She has seen a few changes and people come and go.    Ferris Lane looked fabulous!    The new lintel in Ferris Street seemed to be working well - residents have worked with council to make this happen along with cleaning out nearby drains and gutters.   Evan Jones Playground had a tree down. And a few other trees need mulching.     Water was flowing out of the grate where Styles Street crosses White's Creek and different drivers approached the puddle. The 150 year old salt glazed pipe was still working too!    Photos and Videos at https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvolNkD2Pb/

The Rev. Leonard Mervyn Williams and his wife Dilys came to the Hunter Baillie in 1956. The church was in decline and the threat of falling masonry had made it impossible to obtain public liability insurance. (p39, Hunter Baillie ) Dilys conducted alternate services at Leichhardt and Hunter Baillie Presbyterian churches with her husband and was inducted, in 1969, as the first woman Elder in NSW. (p41, Hunter Baillie ). Ferguson Library Archivist mentioned in her talk at the church on 4 September 2010, that Dilys Williams in the 1930s had applied to the Presbyterian Church of Australia General Assembly to be Accepted as a candidate for the Ministry. Her application was "laid on the table" and was never dealt with. The stained glass window on the northern side of the church was restored in memory of the Williams' time at the church. "Back in the 1950's after first attending Sunday School in the morning the older children were then taken into the chu...
