Consultation on Tech Central Camperdown

Inner West at 40 Exhib October 11– 8 November 2023

"The InnerWest@40 study proposes to make the speed limit on local streets a maximum of 40 km/hr. The Study also proposes a rationalisation of speed zoning on Regional Roads, generally bringing them all to 50 km/hr with 40 km/hr in school zones and other areas with a lot of pedestrians. In the longer term it proposes opportunities for 30 km/hr speed limits in areas where there are lots of pedestrians. The study contains next steps for Council to work on with Transport for NSW." https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/inner-west-40

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/

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...
