Comment is sought on the proposal to close an unused and unformed pathway between 3 Abbott Road and 2-4 Jersey Road, Artarmon. Closure of the pathway will enable development of the Council owned site at 3 Abbott Road for affordable housing. Subject Land The pathway is an &#39;unformed strip of land, 1.12m wide&rsquo;, situated between the northern boundary of Lot 375 DP752067 (3 Abbott Road Artarmon) and the southern boundary of SP9774 (2-4 Jersey Road Artarmon) as shown in Figure 1. The land is currently designated as part of the public road network. Figure 1 - Unformed land, 1.12m x 71.65m, adjacent to 3 Abbott Road Artarmon. <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/c4d5ef667fd1003e7d84aeafe404df4242bf3cd3/original/1696465940/4be9c1ed0c3906af017cad17ab56abe9_unformed_land.jpg?1696465940" style="width: 541px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil"> The land is unsuitable for use as a public pathway and has never been used for this purpose. The land is fenced and appears as part of the former Council operated childcare centre at 3 Abbott Road. As such, the land has never been accessible to the public. The closure of the pathway has no impact on the public amenity. The unused pathway will be vested in the Council upon closure and incorporated into the affordable housing development at 3 Abbott Road (DA2023/64).

During the recent heavy rain events on 8 March 2022, there was significant water inundation running through the Sugarloaf Creek Catchment which included Penshurst Street, High Street, Rosewall Street and Lea Avenue in Willoughby.Between 6 and 30 June 2022, the Council asked residents and property owners in the area to provide any information on recent or historic flooding impacts, to help Willoughby City Council undertake a technical flood study.The Council is currently preparing this study which will seek to examine options to reduce the frequency and extent of flooding impacts in this part of the catchment.Once the draft study is prepared, the Council will contact residents and property owners to alert them that the study is on exhibition, so they can comment on it.Any recommendations or outcomes from this study would inform Council&rsquo;s short and long-term works program and occur through Council&#39;s normal capital works program. These outcomes could require the co-operation of a range of land owners, including the NSW Government.

Parking Restrictions Keary Street and Oakville Road in Willoughby

On 27 June 2022, Council adopted a Bales Park Playground Improvements Plan.This followed two rounds of community consultation. The first round of consultation, in 2021, was used to help develop the draft plan. A second round of consultation was then held in 2022 to seek comments on the draft plan.The plan includes a new slide, trampoline, train, sandpit area, climbing structure, voice tubes, swing set and renewal of existing furniture. The existing circular pathway and fencing have been retained.The draft Master Plan for the whole of Bales Park will be developed at a later date, and the community will be notified when it is available for public exhibition.

Bales Park Draft Playground Improvements Plan 

During 2021 and 2022, Willoughby City Council delivered 12 new raised and marked crossings, known as wombat crossings, across the LGA.During July 2022, the Council completed the final crossing under the School Children Safety Wombat Crossing Program.This crossing, at Rohan Street near Willoughby Road in Naremburn, enables a safer trip for Naremburn pedestrians, including students from nearby Naremburn School.The Rohan St crossing, and another crossing at Hampden Road, Artarmon, creates a new right of way for pedestrians, so motorists now need to give way to pedestrians crossing the road at these locations.A further ten existing zebra pedestrian crossings were upgraded to raised wombat crossings at suburbs including Willoughby, Lane Cove North, Chatswood, Castle Cove and Castlecrag. By creating raised crossings, motorist speed is reduced and therefore pedestrian safety enhanced.Council received $1.95 million to undertake these works under the Federal Government&rsquo;s School Children Safety Wombat Crossing Program.The full list of crossings created is below:<ol><li>High Street at Bedford Street, North Willoughby</li><li>Hampden Road, north of Barton Road, Artarmon</li><li>Merrenburn Avenue at Willoughby Road, Naremburn</li><li>Hatfield Street between Mowbray Road &amp; Farran Street Lane Cove North</li><li>Kirk Street at Archer Street, Chatswood</li><li>Keary Street at Eaton Street, Willoughby</li><li>Keary Street, south of Oakville Road, Willoughby</li><li>Rohan Street at Willoughby Road, Naremburn</li><li>Kendall Road between Holly Street and Rosebridge Avenue, Castle Cove</li><li>Kendall Road, south of Holly Street, Castle Cove</li><li>Edinburgh Road between The Parapet and Edith Street, Castlecrag</li><li>Westbourne Street, east of Pacific Highway, St Leonards</li></ol>Thank you to all community members who commented on the proposed crossing designs at this page.

We thank everyone who contributed.

In accordance with Section 418 (3) of the Local Government Act, 1993, Willoughby City Council advises that the Ordinary Council Meeting to be held on 28th November 2022 will include the presentation of the audited Financial Statements and the Auditor&rsquo;s Reports for the financial year ending 30 June 2022.In accordance with Section 420 of the Local Government Act, 1993, written submissions regarding the Council&rsquo;s Audited Financial Statements or the Auditor&rsquo;s Reports were allowed up till 5 December 2022.Copies of the audited Financial Statements and the Auditor&rsquo;s Reports can be viewed in the Documents tab on this page.

Street footpaths help improve pedestrian accessibility, encourage a healthy lifestyle and reduce road congestion and vehicle-related environmental impacts. For this reason, Willoughby City Council has a Missing Links program in place to prioritise footpath improvements across the LGA.Rembrandt Drive at Middle Cove has been identified as a high priority location for footpath works under the Missing Links program given it provides access to Harold Reid Reserve, is located on a bus route, and has history of correspondence from residents seeking a new footpath.Earlier this year, Willoughby City Council completed construction of a footpath between 59 to 83 Rembrandt Drive Middle Cove.In other parts of Rembrandt Drive, pedestrians need to walk on the grass verge, or where this verge is covered by unauthorised or wild plantings, on the road surface itself. This increases the possibility of trips and accidents, and conflict with motorists, particularly among people with mobility limitations.Between 3-31 August 2022, the Council sought feedback in relation to:<ul type="disc"><li>Whether funding should be allocated from the Missing Links program budget to extend the footpath to between 32B and 57 Rembrandt Drive before 30 June 2023; and</li><li>The detailed design of footpath works along the entire length of Rembrandt Drive.</li></ul>Additionally, on Thursday 11 August 2022 between 9am and 5pm, Council staff door-knocked Rembrandt Drive homes which are adjacent to the proposed footpath, to capture feedback from residents.On at its meeting of 27 February 2023, the Council decided:<ul><li>Willoughby City Council does not proceed with the proposed footpath along Rembrandt Drive until it such time that it can be demonstrated that community support for the project exists</li><li>The savings be diverted to the next prioritised project on the Missing Links Program that has a similar community benefit and safety enhancements and is supported by the local community</li></ul>

In November 2022, the Council commenced the trial closure of the Bellambi Street Square Project, at the corner of Bellambi Street and Sailors Bay Road, Northbridge.This trial closure was fully funded through the NSW Government&rsquo;s Streets as Shared Spaces Round 2 program, which sought to activate local centres and help them quickly recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 health orders.The aim of the trial closure was to also understand the community&rsquo;s views on the long-term proposal for this area which was included in the Council-adopted <a href="https://www.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Development/Plan/Planning-Rules/Planning-Strategies">Local Centres Strategy</a> and the <a href="https://www.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Residents/Current-works-and-projects/WCC/Northbridge-local-centre-streetscape-enhancements">Northbridge Public Domain Masterplan</a>.The trial closure is a smaller area than envisaged in the Public Domain Masterplan, as a larger area requires key changes to access to private space which involves further detailed design and planning.Between 6 February and 8 March 2023, we sought community feedback as to whether the Bellambi Street Square road closure should be ongoing.We also held a community drop-in session at the Bellambi Street Square on Saturday, 18 February.At its meeting of 26 April 2023, after considering a staff report and engagement outcomes report, the <a href="https://www.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Council/Council-meetings/General-Council-Meetings">Council resolved to retain the Bellambi St Square</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Residents/Current-works-and-projects/WCC/Northbridge-local-centre-streetscape-enhancements"></a>

This project has progressed to the next stage with Willoughby City Council <a href="https://www.haveyoursaywilloughby.com.au/edward-st-and-penshurst-st-south-streetscape-improvement-project">commencing community engagement on a proposed streetscape improvement project for Edward St and Penshurst St South, Willoughby</a>.&nbsp; <hr> Willoughby City Council is concerned about a range of traffic issues in Edward St, Willoughby. These issues include:<ul><li>High vehicle speeds, with a traffic study commissioned by the Council in 2020 showing 45 per cent of motorists using Edward St travelled above the posted speed limit of 50km/h;</li><li>Variable road widths and misaligned and poorly-marked intersections, which can cause confusion and conflict between vehicles and pedestrians;</li><li>A lack of facilities to support the safe travel of pedestrians and cyclists; and</li><li>Rat-running along the street from motorists seeking to avoid congestion.</li></ul>These issues are likely to be ongoing, given a major new residential development (Nine by Mirvac) is located at the street&rsquo;s southern end.Council set aside $450,000 in its 2022-23 Operational Plan to fund pedestrian, cycling, and traffic calming improvements at Edward St between Artarmon Road and Penkivil Street.In August-September 2022, Council sought feedback on proposed improvements, some of which involve Edward St&rsquo;s intersections with other streets.More specifically, the proposed improvements included:<ul><li>Four new pedestrian crossing facilities (pedestrian refuge islands &amp; a formal crossing by road narrowing);</li><li>Three raised threshold traffic calming devices, to reduce vehicle speeds;</li><li>New traffic islands to calm traffic and enable pedestrians to cross the road in stages;</li><li>New bicycle logo pavement markings and signage to integrate Edward St with an existing cycling network; and</li><li>Holding lines and traffic lane lines in Edward Street at side street intersections to define traffic lanes, improve motorists&rsquo; line of sight and improve road safety.</li></ul>The proposed works would have resulted in a reduction of approximately 10 available on-street parking spaces.<a href="http://www.haveyoursaywilloughby.com.au"></a>Submissions closed on 5 September, 2022, with a community drop-in session held on 24 August 2022.After being considered at the October 2022 Traffic Committee meeting, the proposal was deferred for further investigation at the November 2022 Council meeting.

The VAMPP is to be a high-level strategic study that identifies challenges and explores opportunities along the Victoria Avenue corridor to improve its role as both a key movement route and a vibrant destination.The purpose of this study is to confirm and document the vision for Victoria Avenue as a place that prioritises its future users. Future users include people coming to Victoria Avenue as a destination to shop, work and dwell, as well as the people passing through Victoria Avenue efficiently to reach other destinations. Doing so will help ensure that future public and private investment reflects the full mix of users.The key objectives of the project are to:<ul type="disc"><li>Recognise and enhance the &#39;Place&#39; (Destination) function of Victoria Avenue while balancing this role with its &#39;Movement&#39; function&#39;</li><li>To develop a Movement and Place Plan for Victoria Avenue</li><li>Pilot and refine the Movement and Place methodology for future use in other town centres</li><li>Utilise contemporary best practice urban design and transport planning.</li></ul>Victoria Avenue is the main &#39;high street&#39; of the Chatswood Central Business District (CBD). It is a busy street with people accessing the many shops, workplaces, schools, transport and other services located in the area. It is also an important east-west route for traffic. Road safety, traffic congestion and public amenity are key issues given the high volumes of pedestrians and traffic. The draft Victoria Avenue Movement and Place Plan can be viewed by accessing the Have Your Say page document library (to the right of the page).</div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW69906607 BCX0"> </div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW69906607 BCX0">The Study Area </div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW69906607 BCX0"> </div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW69906607 BCX0">The geographical extent for the project focuses on Victoria Avenue from Anderson Street to Penshurst Street, Chatswood.

Targeted EngagementDuring March and April 2024, Council sought initial feedback to inform the development of the draft Movement and Place Plan for Victoria Avenue.The following groups were invited to take part in a walkshop and a workshop:<ul><li>Federation of Willoughby Progress Associations</li><li>Councillors</li><li>Chatswood Chamber of Commerce</li><li>Access &amp; Inclusion Committee</li><li>Active and Integrated Transport Committee</li></ul>Nineteen community members from these groups participated in the 90-minute walkshop on 20 March 2024, with Council representatives available to address any technical queries. The group walked from Anderson Street to Crick Street stopping at locations of interest such as parks, new developments and retail destinations to discuss and share their thoughts regarding various aspects of the street.Following the walkshop, a workshop was held at the Dougherty Centre on 28 March 2024. Participants applied the built environment framework and set measurable goals for each of the ten built outcomes. These goals were then compared to current performance scores to identify key gaps and areas for improvement.Information from the participants was collected and incorporated into draft Place Plan document. Community EngagementThe draft Victoria Avenue Movement and Place Plan is on exhibition, from Monday 04 November 2024 to Sunday 01 December 2024. We welcome your feedback on the document.
