• Saffron
• Snapdragon

The proposed names have been assessed using Council’s Naming Convention Policy and have been granted pre-approval by the NSW Geographical Names Board (GNB).

Proposed names

Cactus

A cactus plant is known for its ability to thrive in arid environments due to its water-storing capabilities. In Australia, cacti were introduced to establish a cochineal industry. Cochineal insects, which feed on specific cacti, produce a scarlet dye historically used to dye British soldiers' red coats.

Calendula

A calendula, commonly known as marigold, is a flowering plant well-known for its bright yellow to orange blossoms. Native to southern Europe, calendula is widely cultivated for its ornamental beauty and medicinal properties and is also used in culinary applications.

Guava

A guava is an oval shaped tropical fruit, native to Central America. The fruit has light green or yellow skin and is known for its sweet and tangy flavour. Additionally, guava leaves are used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Peony

A peony is a perennial flowering plant known for its large, fragrant, and often double-blooming flowers in shades of pink, red, white, and yellow. Native to Asia, Europe, and North America, peonies are highly valued in horticulture for their beauty and long-lasting blooms.

Periwinkle

Periwinkle is an evergreen perennial flowering plant native to Europe, Northwest Africa, and Southwest Asia. They are renowned for their attractive, star-shaped flowers in hues of blue, purple, pink, and white, and glossy green foliage. They are commonly used as ground cover in gardens due to their hardy nature and ability to thrive in a variety of conditions, including shaded areas.

Saffron

Saffron, native to Southwest Asia, is a spice derived from the Crocus sativus flower and is known specifically for its vibrant red stigmas, unique flavour, rich golden-yellow hue, and medicinal properties. Saffron is widely used in culinary applications and has been used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits.

Snapdragon

Snapdragon is a genus of flowering plants, native to Europe, the US, and North Africa. Known for their vibrant, dragon-shaped blooms in colours like red, pink, yellow, and white, they are popular in gardens and floral arrangements. Snapdragons attract pollinators and are prized for their unique appearance and easy cultivation.

A new 33 kV Endeavour Energy connection is required in Moorebank to improve and extend power infrastructure within the local area and meet load requirements for the operation of Moorebank Intermodal Precinct.

These works were approved by Endeavour Energy on the 21 April 2024 and will involve upgrades to the over-head infrastructure along Heathcote Road between Seton Road and Junction Road, and along Junction Road.

Works will also include the installation of underground high voltage cable along Junction Road.

To minimise noise impacts to adjacent residents where practical and possible, highly noise intensive works such as excavations will be undertaken during the daytime hours between 7am and 6pm. However, some night works will be required to be undertaken due proximity and potential impacts to major roadways including Heathcote Road.

How Will Works Affect You?

The work will involve the use of machinery which generates noise, light and vibration. We will make practical possible effort to minimise these impacts by using noise blankets, turning off vehicles when not in use, replacing the reserving signals on vehicles with clickers and for night time work directing lights down.

Noise levels will vary between moderate to noisy.
Works will progress along the alignment at a steady pace barring unexpected delays. Individual residents are unlikely to be directly affected by noisy works for the entire period of the project.

Traffic Changes

It will still be possible to travel on Junction Road in both directions. However, there will be some temporary traffic changes to ensure the work zone is safe. During Junction Road trenching works (daytime), a temporary traffic control setup will include the introduction of 40km/h speed limit whilst works are taking place. The road will reduce to one lane managed under STOP/GO control.

There will also be changes to traffic conditions to allow the works on Heathcote Road which will take place during night time hours. Travel will also be maintained in both directions at all times.
Travel times will be affected. Construction speed limits are enforceable, please keep to speed limits and follow the direction of traffic controllers and other signage

If you have any questions or would like more on the works on Moorebank Logistics Park 33kV Connection Works, please contact our project team on 1300 427 614 or email community.engagement@vaughancivil.com.au

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 24 July 2024, Liverpool City Council (“Council”) adopted the City of Liverpool Section 7.12 Aerotropolis Contributions Plan 2024 (“the Plan”). A copy of the Meeting Minutes can be viewed at (Minutes of Ordinary Meeting - Wednesday, 24 July 2024 (infocouncil.biz).

Contributions collected under the plan will be used to fund delivery of critical local infrastructure – roads, open space, community facilities, etc. – within the Liverpool LGA portion of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis. (excluding Luddenham village).

The Plan follows the Ministerial amendment to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 (EP&A Regulation), section 209, which will permit Council to levy up to 4.6 per cent of the cost of carrying out development in the Aerotropolis Precinct. The levy will be applied to all development with a construction cost greater than $200,000.

The Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment (Development Levies) Regulations 2024 was gazetted on the 12 July 2024.

Following Plan endorsement, Council publicly notifies the decision for a period of 14 days before the Plan comes into effect. Public notification of the decision will occur between 30 July 2024 and 13 August 2024, before the Plan coming into effect on 14 August 2024.

On 14 May 2024, Council carried the motion to place the Draft Tree Management Framework on Public Exhibition for a minimum period of 28 days.

Council has developed the Tree Management Framework that comprises three separate documents, including:

• The Tree Policy;
• The Tree Management Strategy; and
• The Tree Management Technical Guidelines.

These three document were developed in conjunction with expert consultants in Landscape Architecture, Consulting Arboriculture, Site Planning and Urban Design to establish a comprehensive and industry leading strategic and procedural framework for the installation, protection, management, and maintenance of our trees.

The Tree Management Framework will replace Council’s outdated Tree Management Policy 2016, which has struggled to encompass and address the variety and complexity of tree related issues faced by Council. It also delivers on Council’s Community Strategic Plan 2022-2023 objective ‘Environmental’ by helping to mitigate urban heat, enhancing the overall health of our urban forests, increasing biodiversity, combatting climate change and improving sustainability and environmental resilience within our LGA.

Trees are a vital part of mitigating Liverpool’s high vulnerability to urban heat and provide a broad range of environmental, social, economic and health benefits to our community. Immediate and ongoing action is required as physical conditions and targets will only become more difficult as time goes on. It is important we act now and act decisively.

Council is seeking your input on the Draft Tree Management Framework.

Have your say and provide feedback here.

Submissions will close 15 September 2024.

Once the Public Exhibition period has closed, feedback will be collated, considered and used to inform the final iteration of the Tree Policy, Tree Management Strategy and Tree Management Technical Guidelines documents, to be put forth to Council for final adoption.

For further enquiries and/or questions relating to the Tree Management Framework, please contact Ariz Ashraf - Coordinator City Design and Public Domain via phone on 8711 7894  or via email at ashrafa@liverpool.nsw.gov.au or Joshua Walters - Acting Senior Urban Designer via phone on 02 8711 7656 or via email at waltersj@liverpool.nsw.gov.au

Council has recently resolved to place the Mobile Food Vending Vehicles Policy on public exhibition for a period of 28 days.

The purpose of the Mobile Food Vending Vehicles Policy is to provide a framework relating to the management and operations of mobile food vehicles in the Liverpool Local Government Area (LGA).

Proposed amendments to policy seek to ensure that mobile food vending vehicles are supported and best positioned for successful trade and business growth, while ensuring that the expansion of trading does not unfairly compromise the economic viability of existing shop front food operators during peak trading periods.

Importantly the scope of the Mobile Food Vending Vehicles Policy is limited to the provision of food trucks and other mobile food vending vehicles including trailers and carts, within community land.  The provision of food trucks on private land is not covered by this policy and will be subject to standard development consent approvals.

For further information please contact Council’s Events Approving Officer at lcc@liverpool.nsw.gov.au and reference Mobile Food Vending Vehicles Policy.

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

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 7 February 2024, Council resolved to adopt an amendment to the Liverpool Development Control Plan 2008 – (Amendment No. 37) incorporating amendments to Part 1 of LDCP 2008.

By implementing these amendments, Council aims to support the adoption of sustainable transportation practices and contribute to both the Australian and NSW Government's goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The Development Control Plan comes into effect on the date of publication of this notice.

Project Overview

Liverpool City Council is seeking community feedback on a draft housekeeping amendment to various parts of Liverpool Development Control Plan (DCP) 2008.

The purpose of this amendment is to update the relevant parts Liverpool DCP 2008, to align with finalised reforms undertaken by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) including renaming of ‘Environmental’ Zones to ‘Conservation’ Zones and ‘Employment’ Zones Reform’.

A review of the Liverpool DCP 2008 has therefore been undertaken to remove references to the former Business and Industrial zones and reference the new Employment zone names.

In addition, the Employment Zones Reform introduced Key Site Areas for certain employment zoned land. The Liverpool DCP 2008 has been updated with the ‘Area Map’ reference where applicable.

Other Amendments

The Liverpool Local Strategic Planning Statement, ‘Connected Liverpool 2040’, includes a short-term action to review the Liverpool DCP 2008, to encourage new commercial and industrial buildings to be rooftop solar ready. To address this, a new control for rooftop solar panels is drafted within Part 4 (Development in Liverpool CBD), Part 6 (Development in Business areas) and Part 7 (Development of Industrial Areas) of the Liverpool DCP 2008.

A minor typographical amendment has also been made within Part 7 (Development in Industrial Areas) of the Liverpool DCP 2008, to help clarify the landscaped area requirements for industrial development.

At the Council meeting on 24 July 2024, Council resolved to place the Draft Gifts and Benefits Policy , Draft Conflicts of Interest Policy , Draft Secondary Employment Policy and Draft Fraud and Corruption Prevention Policy on public exhibition for a period of 28 days.

Council has four policies that support behaviours in line with the Code of Conduct. Together they aim to enhance the reputation of Council as an organisation with the highest standards of ethical governance.

• The Gifts and Benefits Policy guides Council officials in identifying, assessing and managing offers of gifts or benefits in accordance with Council’s Code of Conduct and statutory requirements.
• The Conflicts of Interest Policy provides a framework that supplements the Code of Conduct and assists Council officials to identify and deal with conflicts of interest.
• The Secondary Employment Policy addresses the specific conflicts of interest that may arise from staff engaging in employment or business outside of their role with Council. It sets out the process for notifying, approving, prohibiting and reviewing secondary employment.
• The Fraud and Corruption Prevention Policy draws attention to the suite of internal control mechanisms that have been implemented by Council to prevent fraud and corruption, centered around prevention, detection and response.

The four ethical conduct policies have been reviewed and found to be generally fit for purpose. Changes have been proposed to:

• better align with language used in the Code of Conduct,
• remove duplication,
• update references to policies and legislation, and
• make minor corrections to correct errors and increase clarity.

We are continuing to upgrade Fourth and Tenth Avenue in Austral, as part of the Sydney Catholic Schools Capital Works Strategy Plan. Burton Contractors is carrying out this work.

Upcoming work

From Tuesday 28 November, we will be closing the northbound lane at Fourth Avenue between Tenth Avenue and Eleventh Avenue to commence road upgrade works. It is expected that the northbound lane will be temporarily unavailable until approximately the end of January 2024.

We will also have a single night of work on Monday 27 November to safely install our traffic set up on Fourth Avenue.

The map overleaf shows the road closure locations and planned detour routes.

How will our work affect you?

The planned closure of Fourth Avenue on Tuesday 28 November will mean that motorists travelling in a southbound direction on Fourth Avenue will be required to detour via Eleventh Avenue, Edmondson Avenue and Eight Avenue.

Motorists travelling in a westbound direction on Eleventh Avenue will be required to turn north at the intersection of Fourth Avenue, and then detour via Twelfth Avenue, Edmondson Avenue and Eight Avenue.

Tenth Avenue will temporarily remain a one-way street between Edmondson Avenue and Fourth Avenue as we continue our upgrade works.

Work hours

Our work hours are from 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays. There will be no work on Sundays or public holidays. Work is dependent on weather and site conditions and is subject to change.

Minimising community impact

Our work activities will require the use of machinery that may generate some noise.

We will work with residents in close proximity to these works to minimise impacts and all work will be carried out in line with project environmental approvals.

Traffic and pedestrian changes

There will be traffic changes in place during our work to ensure the work zone is safe which may affect travel times. Please keep to speed limits and follow signs and traffic controller directions.

We understand that this work will generate some inconvenience in the area. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding while we complete this important work.

We will continue to notify you of any upcoming works.

Access to properties will be maintained for local residents and businesses for the duration of the traffic changes.

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.

Fourth Ave north bound between Sixth Ave & Haybale St Austral will be closed for approx 10 weeks from the 9th of January. This is required to complete an upgrade of the road. Detours will be in place. North bound traffic will need to detour left at Sixth Ave, right into Contour Rd and then right into Haybale St. Heavy vehicles are not permitted via the above detour and need to use Edmondson Ave. No Stopping restrictions will be in place on both side of Sixth Ave between Fourth Ave & Contour Rd.

At the 22^nd 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.

Figure 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.

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

Whilst the name Tinonee does not represent a direct association with the Aboriginal heritage of Liverpool, the proposed name serves as a tribute to the indigenous history of New South Wales. Furthermore, the proposed name ensures a unified theme is continued for the locality.

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.

Figure 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.
