Consultation on the Blue-Green Grid Strategy.

Community feedback dates 16 March -  30 April 2023

"Council is developing a strategy to create a network of blue and green connections across the Inner West to help improve accessibility, recreation, biodiversity, and lifestyle for all.

The Blue-Green Grid Strategy will create a plan for providing easy, enjoyable walking and cycling connections between the places you live and work (town centres, schools, public transport hubs) with the places you relax and recharge (harbours, rivers, parks, playgrounds).

The Strategy will provide a detailed plan for how we can connect areas of high environmental value, providing more viable areas of habitat and links to scenic landscapes. Popular walking tracks along the Cooks River and Sydney Harbour will be enhanced and complemented by improved connections through tree-lined streets and established urban parks." https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/planning-inner-wests-blue-green-grid

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/

Len and Dilys Williams and the Hunter Baillie Presbyterian Church

The Rev. Leonard Mervyn Williams and his wife Dilys came to the Hunter Baillie in 1956.

(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...
