The Sutherland Shire Mayor’s Kurnell
Disaster Appeal has raised more than
$300,000 from the public and local
businesses to assist Kurnell residents.
Council worked with the Salvos to set
up the appeal with support from The
Australian Red Cross.
Immediately following the tornado,
Council worked with local emergency
services to restore access to Kurnell
and respond to resident’s immediate
safety needs. Council assisted residents
and businesses with their immediate
clean up needs, including organising
green waste and asbestos removal,
and helping to restore and preserve the
natural environment.
Council’s estimated total cost of the
clean up is $700,000. This included
1,500 tonnes of greenwaste collected,
mulched and reused, 142 tonnes of
storm debris collected, transported and
disposed of, 97 tonnes of additional
domestic waste collected, transported
and disposed of, 140 additional 240L
event bins provided and 80 replacement
domestic bins delivered.
Council is also streamlining the
development approval process for those
residents who need to repair or rebuild
their home.

GREENHILLS PARKLANDS UPDATE
GREENHILLS VOLUNTARY PLANNING AGREEMENT
The Greenhills Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) is a complex and large project involving Sutherland Shire Council,
Frasers Property Australia and Breen Holdings, over approximately 124 hectares on the Kurnell Pensinsula.
The land adjoins the residential area of North Cronulla and the grounds of Cronulla High School, the Charlotte Breen
Memorial Park and land further north towards Lindum Road, Kurnell. The total project includes recreational, regeneration and
conservation areas and multiple sporting facilities with associated car parks and amenities.
As part of the VPA, Frasers Property Australia (Formerly Australand) and Breen Holdings dedicated 91 hectares of land to
Council for public open space. When ultimately completed, there will be approximately:
•
•
•
•
23 hectares of public open space with playing fields
a skateboard park and associated facilities
10 hectares of heritage dune
10 hectares of water bodies (including Green & Golden
Bell Frog habitat and stormwater treatment ponds)
•
•
19 hectares of retained good quality bushland and
29 hectares of replanted and restored native vegetation
and native grassland.
STAGE 1A - GREENHILLS SKATEPARK
Council negotiated early access to Greenhills skate park via a lease agreement
with developers to make the facility available for skateboarding while the
surrounding infrastructure is under construction as part of the ongoing Greenhills
Parklands project. Until works are completed there are no toilet facilities or fresh
water on the site.
The completion of stage 1A will see the delivery of the skatepark, grass playing
field, access road and parking, shared pathways to future stages and open
parklands including frog habitat and planting of local indigenous plants.
As works are nearing completion approval from Sydney Water are delaying the
commissioning of sewer to the site allowing for the opening of the amenities
building on the adjacent playing field which will service both the field and
skate park.
Interim opening hours are from 7am to sunset and skatepark visitors are
reminded that there is no drinking water available at the site and to adhere to
the temporary advisory signage. Entry to the skatepark is via the roundabout on
Lindum Road and the carpark for the facility, not via the construction site.
STAGE 1B – HOCKEY FIELDS
Stage 1B includes the synthetic hockey fields, access roads, parking
area and amenities building. This stage is currently underway pending
issues with sourcing suitable fill material for the hockey field base.
Council hopes to see stage 1B completed by the end of 2016.
Future stages will be delivered in conjunction with the winding
back of operations at the Kurnell landfill facility under the terms
of the VPA between Council, Frasers Property Australia and Breen
Holdings.

Sutherland Shire visit Council’s website.

TWO HERITAGE WHARVES RESTORED
Council has put the finishing touches on two projects that
have restored Hospital Bay Wharf in Cronulla and Lilli Pilli
Wharf in Lilli Pilli.
Both structures were ageing and in need of restoration to
make them safe for continued public use. The new wharves
were constructed in a traditional style that reflects the early
to mid-twentieth century style of maritime infrastructure
that was typical of the era. They are examples of an historic
maritime landscape where public wharves, once common,
are now becoming rare.
The traditional style of the refurbishment is consistent
with other similar projects completed recently including
the Gymea Bay Baths. The projects required a number
of innovative design solutions to overcome construction
challenges, protect the environment and enhance the
heritage significance of the wharves.
HEATHCOTE PLAYGROUND UPGRADE
The playground at Forum Drive, Heathcote is now larger
and contains more play activities and amenities that cater
for a broader age group. The new playground adresses
the changing needs of the local community, and has
reinvigorated this community space.
The larger facility houses 15 different play activities
including swings, slides, a rocker, climbing boulder wall
and bridges. There is also ample new seating, a dinky track
and large shade structure.
Visit Council’s website and search ‘Parks and Playgrounds’
for a comprehensive list of playgrounds in the Sutherland
Shire along with facilites that are available at each location
including bbqs, toilets, accessability details and parking.

BECOME A BUSHCARE VOLUNTEER
The Shire has over 3,000 hectares of natural areas and
community involvement is essential to help restore and
preserve these valued spaces. Now is a great time to join
our vibrant group of over 700 volunteers who care for over
120 bushland reserves around the Shire.
Working under the direction of Council staff you will
use bush regeneration techniques to gain experience in
managing bushland, learn about your local environment,
keep active in the outdoors and meet new people.
As a volunteer you will actively protect indigenous
flora, fauna and remnant vegetation and assist with the
rehabilitation of natural areas for future generations.
For more information about the program including a list of
bushcare locations or online volunteer application form visit
Council's website.
ONGOING ILLEGAL DUMPING
The problem of illegal dumping is an issue across the Shire
and costs ratepayers tens of thousands of dollars to deal
with every year. This is money that could be much better
spent on services and facilities for Shire residents.
In 2014/15, Council collected more than 150 tonnes of
waste at a cost of $32,000. To date in 2015/16, over
100 tonnes of illegally dumped material has been collected
costing in excess of $21,000.
Council’s Environmental Protection Officers have begun
actively patrolling problem areas and are seeking assistance
from the community. Council is asking for local residents
to be vigilant and report what they see. The information
provided will be treated in the strictest confidence. You
can report illegal dumping by calling 131 555 or logging it
through the Report It section of Council's website.
In addition to Council's efforts to combat illegal dumping in
the Shire, Council is now working in partnership with the
Regional Illegal Dumping Squad (RID). These regionally
based teams specialise in dealing with illegal dumping and
illegal landfilling.
Pre-booked Council clean ups are available to all
Shire residents and can be booked online at
Council's website.
ECO-FRIENDLY OPTION AT
EARLY EDUCATION CENTRES
Council’s 11 Early Education Centres provide an eco-friendly
cloth nappy service to babies and toddlers, at no additional cost
to parents who use our early education and care service.
With every child in disposable nappies typically contributing one
to two tonnes of waste to landfill, Council’s cloth nappy service
has saved more than 5,000 kilograms which is equivalent to
5.1 tonnes of landfill in just six months.
The modern cloth nappies are reusable and professionally
laundered, with fabric, fit and comfort a far cry from the cloth
nappies our parents would remember.

THE BURNING ISSUE
HOW FIRE HELPS SUSTAIN BUSHLAND IN THE SHIRE
The role of fire in the Australian Bush is essential for the health and diversity
of plant and animal species. Although catastrophic at times to some species,
including people, Australian landscapes are largely derived from the affects of fire.
Many of the Shire’s bushland reserves are managed for both fuel reduction and
for ecological health, and there’s no better time to get out into the bush to see
the benefits than a few months after a scheduled burn. So much can be learned
from this experience.
Join the Bushcare team for an informative guided walk through one of the
recently burned bushland reserves. This easy stroll through The Glen, Bonnet
Bay on Wednesday 20 April from 9am to 11am.
To book call Bushcare on 9524 5672.

available with over 100 species on the

Bottlebrush and Waratahs. Nursery staff are
always on hand to assist in plant selection,
