Deep Soil and Tree Canopy

What is Deep Soil?  

"If you’re looking for a high concentration of carbon, skip the trees and atmosphere, because soil contains more carbon than both of them combined. In fact, the highest stocks of carbon can be found where very deep soils exist – such as in the tropics." -  Deep Soil, DEPARTMENT OF Natural Resources and Environmental Management, 12 October 2021, https://cms.ctahr.hawaii.edu/nrem/NremNews-Details/ArtMID/60543/ArticleID/2200/Deep-Soil (viewed 27 Nov 2023)

New Terminology and difficult dig out. Deep Soil and Tree Canopy in the Proposed changes to planning controls for Parramatta Road Corridor

Seems there has been a reduction in the tree canopy targets but new requirement for deep soil to combat heat is promising.

"Key Move 4: Create a sustainable Inner West by implementing improved energy and water standards for new developments
This Planning Proposal seeks to implement planning controls for high-performing buildings to achieve higher energy and water targets above the standard NSW mandatory requirements. This key move will be achieved through new planning controls that will allow developments to access additional development capacity if they deliver higher than minimum sustainability outcomes.
The Planning Proposal also includes provisions to address urban heat issues by maximising tree canopy cover and deep soil planting in the private domain. In addition,the supporting draft DCPs include provisions for mitigating urban heat island effect.
This includes controls for maximising retention of existing mature trees.

 

Key Move 5: Stage development across the corridor to ensure that development aligns with infrastructure.
 

This Planning Proposal brings forward development in only parts of the PRCUTS precincts to initiate the incremental transformation of the Corridor. 

Inner West Council Tree DCP Nov 2023
This approach will help ensure the timing of new development is aligned with the delivery of necessary infrastructure in accordance with Objective 1.5(c) of Local Planning Direction 1.5
Parramatta Road Urban Transformation Strategy.


This Proposal has prepared in accordance with the phasing proposed in the Parramatta Road Corridor Implementation Plan 2016-2023 and the more recent timing
of release as per Parramatta Road Corridor Implementation Update 2021. The
Implementation Plan Update 2021 expands the release area boundaries to include
whole precincts identified with solid red boundary in PRCUTS. 

Planning Proposal: Parramatta Road Corridor Stage 1 – September 2023
This would mean that the proposed Staging Plan in this Planning Proposal for Leichhardt and Taverners Hill precinct is fully consistent with the Staging Plan in the Implementation Plan Update 2021. For any properties outside these release areas, Appendix 11 provides detailed justification study regarding demonstrating the delivery of better outcomes.
 

This updated Staging Plan addresses the DPE’s requirement that a short-term shortfall of up to 1600 dwellings in the Inner West be met, whilst aiming to deliver the remaining growth in the Corridor in the medium to long term. This approach of development having to be aligned with infrastructure provision is consistent with the objectives of the ECDP.
 

Planning Proposal: Parramatta Road Corridor Stage 1 – September 2023
The Planning Proposal includes provisions for developments to access additional
development capacity by making adequate Regional infrastructure contributions.
 

Planning Proposal: Parramatta Road Corridor Stage 1 – September 2023
The timely delivery of infrastructure with growth will also be addressed through
collection of local infrastructure contributions via the Inner West Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan 2023." - page 6 Planning Proposal: Parramatta Road Corridor Stage 1 – September 2023" - Planning Proposal: Parramatta Road Corridor Stage 1 – September 2023 https://www.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/ArticleDocuments/33263/Attachment%202%20-%20Planning%20Proposal%20-%20Post%20Gateway.pdf.aspx

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.

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. 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.

"Back in the 1950's after first attending Sunday School in the morning the older children were then taken into the chu
