Liverpool City Council is currently seeking submissions from the community, including developers, real estate agents, property owners and managers on the Draft Local Heritage Management Policy.

To provide clarity to owners or developers of heritage-listed properties, or properties impacted by Aboriginal Cultural Heritage or Historic Archaeology, Liverpool City Council has developed a Local Heritage Management Policy which aims to provide upfront, information needed to prepare a development application or to undertake works to a heritage item without consent from Council.

The Draft policy does not add to the requirements for owners, developers or managers, but clearly defines, outlines and guides how an application is to be prepared, and where specialist reports are required, how these documents are drafted.

The purpose of this policy is to minimise any delays to the processing of a development application, but also to encourage where possible, the use of exemption provisions under the Local Environmental Plan that allow for minor works and maintenance to heritage buildings without consent from Council.

A copy of the Heritage Policy can be found here

Overview

Liverpool City council is pleased to publicly exhibit concept design of Hopkins Creek Modification Works from Second Avenue to the confluence of Hinchinbrook Creek.

The modification works will resolve current issues of bed and bank erosion, water ponding, excessive weed growth, and challenges with access to undertake maintenance activities and provide reasonable flood protection of properties from a possible 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood event.

Key features of the concept design include the following:

  • Upgrading the channel with improved batters and a rock lined base;
  • Incorporating stepping stones into the channel, to enable pedestrian crossing;
  • Providing new tree planting, to replace existing trees that may need to be removed to facilitate the upgrade of the channel, and enhance the character of the site; and
  • Extending and improving the existing culvert, downstream of Hoxton Park Road.

Have your Say

Community consultation is important for successful implementation of the proposed Hopkins Creek modification works, and you are invited to review the design and provide your valuable feedback. A community consultation session regarding the project has been arranged on Saturday 17 February 2024 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Carnes Hill Community Center, located at 600 Kurrajong Road, Carnes Hill.

Council invites residents and interested members of the public to view the concept design and provide feedback by visiting: listens.liverpool.nsw.gov.au.

At the 22nd November meeting, Council endorsed to publicly exhibit the Street name Tinonee Street, Hoxton Park and Gula Street, Edmondson Park.

Tinonee Street, Hoxton Park

A Street naming proposal was received in September 2023, to name a new road that is currently under construction off Twentieth Avenue, Hoxton Park.

Image 01Figure 1: Subdivision plan showing location of proposed Tinonee Street

The Street naming theme for the locality is Northern NSW towns and the proposed Street name Tinonee, has been assessed using Council’s Naming Convention Policy and the Geographical Names Board has granted pre-approval.

Tinonee is a small town located on the banks of the Manning River near Taree on the Mid North Coast of NSW.

Image 02Figure 2: Location of suburb Tinonee NSW (source: google maps)

Gula Street, Edmondson Park

A Street naming proposal was received in April 2023, from a consultant working with Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW), to name the access road for the Edmondson Park North Commuter car park.

Image 03Figure 3: Location of proposed Gula Street (ariel view)

“Gula” as defined in the Dharawal language, means “killing spear”. Council has received a letter of support from Tharawal Aboriginal Land Council, affirming their endorsement for the use of the name. Furthermore, the proposed name ensures a unified theme is continued for the locality.

Background

In response to community representations, Council engaged a traffic consultant to undertake an Elizabeth Hills Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study.

The study involved assessment of traffic conditions, speeding, crash history, community concerns along the key collector and local streets, including Newgate Boulevard, Rosebank Avenue, Duxford Street Dabroyed Drive and Regentville Drive, and to recommend traffic management measures to reduce traffic speed, improve traffic conditions and residential amenity.

The study has identified that Regentville Drive is carrying high through traffic volumes and three other intersections without existing intersection treatments requires treatment to redistribute through traffic to improve road safety.

At its October 2023 meeting, Council on the recommendation of the Liverpool Local Traffic Committee (LTC) resolved that the local community be consulted on the LATM Study recommendations and their comments be considered in undertaking detailed designs and consideration for staged implementation of the study recommendations.

This proposal

The LATM study has recommended the following treatments:

  • Rerouting of southbound traffic through Newgate Boulevard and Rosebank Avenue by restricting movements at the existing roundabout with Wixstead Avenue. This will reduce traffic flow through Regentville Drive.
  • Install a roundabout at the Rosebank Avenue/Duxford Street and Regentville Drive/Dabroyed Drive intersections.
  • Install raised safety platform at Rosebank Avenue/Gowanlea Avenue intersection and raised thresholds at number of locations.

The treatments will redistribute through traffic in the precinct, reduce traffic speed, and improve residential amenity.

A copy of the study report and recommendations are attached. Subject to the community feedback a report will be presented to Council to consider staged implementation of the recommended treatments, in future budgets, depending on funding allocations.

Request for Input

Council is seeking comments from community by 9 February 2024. Written feedback is to be emailed to Councils’ Transport Engineer Mahavir Arya (8711 7592), aryam@liverpool.nsw.gov.au by due date.

Further information can be found on Liverpool Listens.
