Looking afterPeople and Place

Parks receive major upgradeCouncil has spent approximately $358,000 to upgrade Howe Park, Windsor and Richmond Park, Richmond in the past financial year.

At Howe Park, major landscape renovations were undertaken between Fitzgerald and Baker Streets including new paving, barbeques and picnic facilities, as well as repairs to the wisteria trestle and planting of new vegetation.

Richmond Park was upgraded with the installation of pathway lighting and a new fully functioning replica fountain to replace the broken fountain, which had been a feature of the Park for many years.

As part of ongoing improvements to Macquarie Park, an additional shelter, new seating and barbeque facilities were installed adjacent to the play space to encourage family gatherings in the park. Future improvements will include new pathways, fencing and car park upgrades.

Register your pool by October 2013

In October 2012, the State Government made changes to the

Swimming Pools Act. Under the changes, pool owners are

required to register their pools on a new state-wide register.

Registration of pools must be completed by October 2013 or

owners could face a $220 penalty for failing to register.

Changes to the

Visitor record for Archibald PrizeThe Hawkesbury Regional Gallery set visitor records during the hosting of the Archibald Prize 2012 NSW Regional Tour.

More than 4,000 people attended the exhibition, including hundreds of students from Hawkesbury schools and TAFE students from surrounding districts.

A highlight of the exhibition was the painting of the Mayor’s portrait by a selection of Hawkesbury artists. The Hawkesbury’s favourite Archibald Prize entry was Angus McDonald’s portrait of artist Tim McGuire.

The Archibald Prize is one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious art prizes and is awarded for portrait painting. The Archibald Prize will return to the Hawkesbury in 2016.

For more information about current and future exhibitions, visit www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au or phone (02) 4560 4441.

Desexing for cats and dogs

In October 2012, Council introduced animal desexing for all cats and dogs sold through the Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter.

The desexing program began after public consultation showed favourable support for the program which aims to reduce the number of unwanted animals in our community.

Current charges for the purchase of cats and dogs from the shelter are now:

Fees for dogs - $325 or Pensioner/Concession fee - $300Fees for Cats - $230 or Pensioner/Concession fees - $205

For information on the new desexing program, please contact the Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter on (02) 4560 4644.

Community supports fight against graffitiLocals young and old took a stand against graffiti at the Graffiti Removal Day, a day which highlights the problem of graffiti and calls on residents to get involved and remove graffiti from their neighbourhoods.

Graffiti Removal Day is a joint initiative of the NSW State Government and Rotary and aims to remove graffiti from community facilities.

In the Hawkesbury, the Graffiti Removal Day was held in Bligh Park, where volunteers cleaned more than one lineal kilometre of colourbond fences to homes backing on to Council’s reserve near Tiningi Community Centre. This equated to approximately 1,000m² of graffiti removed on the day.

Graffiti is one of the most visible crimes in our community and costs millions of dollars to governments each year. If you see an act of graffiti underway, contact Local Police on (02) 4587 4099 in order to assist with appropriate prosecution and the prevention of future crime.

We want the Hawkesbury to be a place where we have a community in which the area’s character is preserved and lifestyle choices are provided with sustainable planned, well serviced development, within strongly connected, safe and friendly neighbourhoods.Vi

A new era for Howe HouseCouncil proudly re-opened Howe House in 2012 after a major restoration program. Built in the 1820s, Howe House is protected by the NSW Heritage Act as a typical Georgian Inn that is vital in retaining the urban colonial character of Thompson Square.

The building served as the Hawkesbury’s community museum and visitor information centre for 40 years and was closed for necessary restoration work from 2006-2012.

Howe House is now part of the Hawkesbury Regional Museum, and it provides an excellent opportunity for school students to study a significant heritage site, including the way of life of its past inhabitants. The Museum is also developing programs to help deliver the National Curriculum.

The restoration work was made possible by funding from the Australian Government under the National Historic Sites Program and through the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, together with annual funding from Arts NSW and Council contributions.

Why not visit Howe House and rediscover some great local history? It is open to the public on weekends between 11am - 2pm and weekdays for guided tours with booked groups. For bookings phone (02) 4560 4655.

We want the Hawkesbury to be a place where we have a community dedicated to minimising its ecological footprint, enjoying a clean river and an environment that is nurtured, healthy, protected and provides opportunities for its sustainable use.

Council using solar energyCouncil has installed solar panels at both the Oasis Aquatic Centre and Council’s Administration Building in Windsor to reduce greenhouse emission.

A 16kW system was installed at Oasis and a 30kW system at the Administration Building, with $110,000 funding from the Waste and Sustainability Improvement Payment Program.

The energy produced from both these systems will be used onsite, with the 30kW system at the Administration Building powering Council’s computer centre. Similarly, the 16kW system at the Oasis Aquatic Centre is powering the pool plant, which also has daily power demands, allowing the power generated to be used directly and ensuring maximum efficiency.

The carbon reduction achieved is being displayed real time for all to see at Council’s Customer Service area, where a screen displays how much power is being generated and how much carbon is being saved.

Payback periods are expected to be around five years, meaning Council will achieve huge savings over the 25 to 30 year life of the installations, especially considering the increases in the cost of electricity.

The installation of these solar panels is an important part of fulfilling Council’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The newly installed solar energy systems are state of the art – it is estimated that these two systems will reduce Council’s carbon emission by 57 tonnes per year, which is equivalent to the carbon generated from a car driving for 350,000 kms per year.

$600,000 for Hawkesbury Bio Diversity ProjectCouncil was awarded $600,000 in funding through the Federal Government’s Biodiversity Fund for its ‘Hawkesbury River Biodiversity Restoration Project’.

Many issues threaten biodiversity and fragment vegetation in the Hawkesbury. Council now has funding to support biodiversity restoration projects along the Hawkesbury River over the next six years. Projects will focus on controlling weeds of national significance, environmental weeds and particular noxious weeds.

Many of Council’s environmental projects are instigated with the help of Bushcare volunteers. Anyone interested in helping with bushland regeneration or for further information contact Council’s Land Management Officer on (02) 4560 4531.

Council staff increase recycling to 65% Over the last 18 months, Council has implemented a corporate waste reduction action plan for Council owned and operated buildings. Actions including waste audits, staff surveys and education have contributed to a dramatic increase of approximately 65% of waste being diverted from landfill and sent for recycling.

Initiatives which have helped Council achieve this increase included colour coded recycling bins at various sites, the trialling of “Bokashi” indoor composting buckets for food scraps, setting up a compost receptacle at the Regional Museum, as well as investigating Council’s purchasing and procurement services.

Council has also dramatically reduced the amount of plastic bags used throughout its sites by removing individual waste bins from staff desks.

Waste management continues to be a priority and Council encourages all local businesses to actively look for ways to reduce their own waste.

In Hawkesbury increases recycling efforts2013, Hawkesbury residents increased their recycling by 286 tonnes from the 2012 levels, with 6,287 tonnes of material recycled through their yellow lidded recycling bins. Residents have also recycled 42 tonnes of mattresses, 28 tonnes of sump oil and

Timber bridges to be replacedWith the beautiful Hawkesbury River, various other rivers and creeks being key features of our area, bridges are vital to ensure our communities are connected. Council, in partnership with various other stakeholders is currently working to replace timber bridges in the Hawkesbury.

The NSW Government’s Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme provides councils with a four percent interest subsidy over ten years on loans to allow backlogs of infrastructure projects to be completed.

Council has borrowed over $5 million under this scheme to fund the replacement of seven timber bridges located throughout the Hawkesbury.

This is a ten year plan to replace timber bridges which will improve traffic flow, safety and flood access.

Over the last ten years, nine out of 23 timber bridges in the Hawkesbury have been replaced. The scheme will allow Council to bring forward the much needed replacement of seven more timber bridges.

Bridges included in the program:

• Stannix Park Road Bridge, Ebenezer• Three bridges on Upper Colo Road, Upper Colo• Two bridges on Upper Macdonald Road, Higher Macdonald• West Portland Road (Bailey Bridge), Lower Portland

The timber bridges will be replaced with reinforced concrete structures at a higher level where possible. The new structures will significantly increase the safety of the bridges for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Extensive road repair program Council invests significant resources in managing existing road assets and is responsible for the maintenance of 227 kms of urban roads, 511 kms of sealed rural roads and 299 kms of urban and rural gravel roads.

In the 2012/2013 financial year, almost $2.3 million dollars was spent on road damage and bridge repairs throughout the Hawkesbury.

This year we also had major ongoing road restoration work associated with flood damage. More than $3.6 million in funding was secured through the Commonwealth Government’s Natural Disaster Fund to instigate these works.

Major works completed 2012/2013 include: • Pitt Street, Richmond - roadworks, drainage, kerb and guttering• New Hawkesbury Valley Way Cycleway - between Richmond and Windsor• Terrace Road/Bells Line of Road reserve and car park, North Richmond - upgrade works of reserve and car park - carried out with 50% funding through Community Partnership grant • Lelia Avenue/Raymond Street intersection upgrade at Freemans Reach - carried out with 50% funding through Community Partnership grant• Restoration of gravel roads - various rural areas• George Road, Wilberforce - footpath works completed • Eldon Street to Buckingham Street, Pitt Town - footpath works completed

Major Projects Commenced: • Jurds Bridge on Upper Macdonald Road - contract awarded and works in progress - Natural Disaster Funding• West Portland - Stabilise land slip supporting road at Lower Portland. Contract awarded and works in progress - Natural Disaster Funding• Freemans Reach Road, Freemans Reach - reconstruction and sealing - Joint funding with RMS• Grose Vale Road, North Richmond - reconstruction of sealed road section - Joint funding with RMS

Reserve improvements for North RichmondCouncil has recently completed a significant project located at the intersection of Terrace Road and Bells Line of Road, North Richmond.

Matching funding was received under the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership program for improvements to the reserve located at the intersection.

The $108,000 project was aimed at improving access to the reserve and parking amenity, and to enhance the reserve’s overall visual appeal. The project also maintains accessibility for the filling of water tankers, which is an essential service for many properties in the area.

The works comprised landscaping using sandstone blocks to define trafficable areas around the existing water filling station, improved drainage on the access road, new bitumen surfacing and planting and turfing of all non-trafficable areas.

We want the Hawkesbury to be a place where we have a community which is provided with facilities and services eff iciently linked by well maintained roads and accessible integrated transport and communication systems which also connect surrounding regions.

Windsor CCTV Project now liveCouncil has installed CCTV cameras in Windsor Mall providing Police with the option to monitor live or recorded images and video between Baker Street and Fitzgerald Street, Windsor.

The primary aim of the CCTV Project is to help prevent crime and to help business owners and the community feel safe in Windsor Mall.

Current research suggests that CCTV can be an effective strategy in situational crime prevention at a local level, when it is used as part of an integrated crime prevention strategy. The cameras operate 24 hours, seven days, when movement is detected. There have already been a number of incidents where vision obtained via CCTV has been able to assist Police investigations.

The CCTV Project was jointly funded with $100,000 provided through the Safer Suburbs Program through the Attorney-General’s Department and a $25,500 contribution by Council.

Business support at Hawkesbury Small Business WeekHawkesbury Small Business Week was held in June and featured a line up of free seminars and activities providing businesses with local access to information and direct contact with agencies that can help their business.

The Hawkesbury Small Business program included topics such as tax basics, customer service, record keeping, superannuation, good websites and online presence for business. This year’s focus was on online business and the benefits of faster broadband for internet connectivity for business development.

Hawkesbury Small Business Week is held annually and is a great opportunity for local businesses to meet and network.

Online exposure for Hawkesbury TourismThe Hawkesbury Visitor Information Centre has launched a live online booking system with the support of Tourism Exchange Australia (TXA). This has been initiated to level the playing field for smaller operators who do not have the resources or budget to instigate online marketing campaigns for their business.

With tourists now relying more heavily on the internet to research and book their holidays, the TXA system will allow the Hawkesbury Visitor Information Centre to support this online trend.

The TXA system brings together live booking and payment capabilities so that customers can search, book, pay and confirm instantly. In time, local tourism operators such as accommodation providers, tours and attractions and events in the Hawkesbury will have greater online exposure, as their business will also be promoted via a multitude of regional NSW websites including Visit NSW and Sydney.com.

The Hawkesbury Tourism website now has a ‘Book Now’ button for five local accommodation providers and will be working with other businesses over the coming months to encourage greater participation and promotion of the diverse accommodation experiences, from budget to luxury, that the Hawkesbury has to offer.

Hawkesbury Digital Domain set to launchCouncil is set to launch the Hawkesbury Digital Domain, a community program offering online learning services to Hawkesbury residents, businesses and community groups. The Domain will integrate a booking system and high-definition video conferencing platform to deliver interactive learning opportunities for the community.

With fast broadband on its way to the Hawkesbury, community members will be able to access the learning service on their computer and mobile devices at a business premises, home or a dedicated training centre.

A pilot learning project will begin later this year. Council’s long established Food Handling Seminar will move online with an interactive delivery of the seminar to those who register.

Hawkesbury Digital Domain is funded from a $340,000 grant under the Department of Broadband and Communications and Digital Economy, Digital Local Government Program.
