20.01.2022 We need to emphasise hygiene and social distancing at all times - not just on public transport. People getting into private cars are also at risk - not to menti...on the risk drivers are to pedestrians, cyclists and other car users. Please take care as the Lock down measures are eased. Remember COVID-19 is a respiratory disease - keep your distance. Wash your hands so that you dont spread the disease that way. Get into the habit of good hygiene and social distance to avoid covid-19, the flu, gastro and other diseases this winter. Please also drive extra carefully as there are also more kids and people walking and cycling.

15.01.2022 Exhibition closes 31 May of draft Section 7.12 [formerly section 94) Development Contributions Plan for the former Leichhardt LGA of the Inner West. This Plan outlines contributions to be made from particular developments and identifies the public services and amenities that the funds are directed to. All Councils have Development Contribution Plans under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000. In 201...6, the new Inner West Council inherited the development contribution plans from former Ashfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville. The former Leichhardt area is the only part of the Inner West that currently does not have a section 7.12 plan in place. Section 7.11 and 7.12 funds (under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act) are used to service the needs of expected future population and employment growth. What is being proposed? A draft Section 7.12 Development Contributions Plan has been prepared for the former Leichhardt Area of the Inner West. The draft Plan consists of: Details of the levy to be charged to particular development under the plan The land and development affected The plan exemptions A schedule of public amenities and services that are to be funded under the plan and maps of their locations How the levy is calculated and indexed Read the Draft former Leichhardt draft Section 7.12 Development Contributions Plan 2020 doc. Find out more about the Plan in our frequently asked questions. To view the development contributions plans for the whole of the Inner West, visit our Council website. https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/former-leichhardt-area

15.01.2022 This looks useful "Join the Transport Australia society for a panel discussion on the Role of Walking in the Movement and Place Policy Framework. The Movemen...t and Place Framework is increasingly used to guide transport planning in delivering a more integrated transport system to improve customer outcomes and support a range of user groups. This is particularly important for the liveability of places and vibrant streets, where greater numbers of pedestrians gather. Austroads, the NSW Government Architect and others have recently published a series of guidelines to help understand and implement this framework. The event will consist of three presentations by our esteemed partners from Walk Sydney, Victoria Walks and the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, followed by a Q&A session. Hear from our panellists on their views on what makes great places and how these places can encourage more walking for a healthier, wealthier and more vibrant society. " See more

10.01.2022 Timely advice from Victoria Walks as Inner West Council Considers our Transport Strategy http://www.victoriawalks.org.au/news/1662
09.01.2022 Went for a good long walk to Ashfield yesterday. Shocked by the lack of safe pedestrian points on Holden, Queen and Victoria Streets. The roundabout at the inte...rsection of Seaview and Holden has no pedestrian refuges. But other than having to take extreme care - there is an opportunity to social distance by walking on the road facing oncoming traffic on relatively quiet roads and take care when crossing. A chance to admire the elegant "ocean liner" homes and well cared for gardens. Also fabulous pastry on the pumkin and goats chees tart from the The Tart Sisters.

03.01.2022 "Ive told my parents to avoid all non-essential activities that could involve significant contact with other people. No more Monday afternoon movies or large social outings for now. If you need to visit the doctors, call first and see if you can get advice over the phone. If you need to do something essential like go to the pharmacy or buy groceries, practice good hygiene and wash your hands before and after with soap and water. But Im also telling them not to withdraw completely. Go for a walk and get some regular exercise. Take the opportunity to spend some time doing those little garden jobs youve been putting off. Talk to your friends on the phone and online, and the occasional visit is ok as long as you take sensible precautions. "
