Godden Mackay Logan have requested feedback ASAP from anyone with an interest in the ATP CMP that might help them with the CMP revision. This can be made on the feedback form or by answering the questions at the foot of this page. Australian Technology Park—Conservation Management Plan—Public Information Session

Australian Technology Park Precinct Management Limited (ATPPM) has commissioned Godden Mackay Logan, Heritage consultants, to prepare a new Conservation Management Plan for the Australian Technology Park site.

We would like to invite you to a public information session about the Conservation Management Plan. The session will be held on site on Monday, 7 December 2009, from 4-6pm in meeting room 6A, Level 1, Bay 6 Locomotive Workshops (please enter via Bay 8).

It has been a number of years since a Conservation Management Plan was prepared for the site and previous plans have addressed the Locomotive Workshops building only. This new Conservation Management Plan would address the Australian Technology Park site as a whole, including its significant machinery, and would take into account the changes that have occurred to the site since most railway operations at Eveleigh closed in 1988.

This session provides an opportunity for stakeholders, interested parties and local community members to reflect on the significance of the former Eveleigh locomotive workshops and the changes that have occurred to the site over the past 20 years.

The information session would also provide an opportunity for stakeholders and the local community to raise issues they have regarding the site's management

If you would like to attend the information session could you please respond to Jane Vernon at Godden Mackay Logan by phone on 02 9319 4811 between 9am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday.

If you are not able to attend the workshop, you may provide feedback by filling out the form attached and returning it to Godden Mackay Logan at 78 George Street Redfern, NSW 2016.

Yours sincerely

Australian Technology Park

]]> No publisher REDWatch Meeting 2009-11-30T04:30:00Z News Item Darlington Pedestrian Cycling and Traffic Calming Plan Available - Goes to CoS Committee 16 Dec 09 http://www.redwatch.org.au/rwahist/media/091216cos The Final Report for the Newtown Erskineville Camperdown and Darlington Pedestrian Cycling and Traffic Calming Plan is now publically available. It is going to the 16 December 2009 CoS Traffic Committee before being endorsed by Council in 2010. There was no report available to the community when the CoS put on exhibition their proposal for what should happen. Pedestrian, cycling and traffic counts are available in the Final Technical Report. The Final Technical Report and recommendations should take into account comments made by the community at the community forum and in the couple of weeks afterwards.

Those with an interest in what Council is proposing for the Newtown Erskineville Camperdown and Darlington Pedestrian Cycling and Traffic Calming Plan should consult the report and take the opportunity to raise their concerns at the 16 December 2009 CoS Traffic Committee meeting.

You are entitled to make a representation at the Traffic Committee.  However in order to do this, you will need to contact Claudia Calabro via email (ccalabro@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au) including a brief description of what your concerns are. 

Due to the timing of this report going to committee it will not go to Council until February so there will be some extra time between the report being considered by the Traffic Committee and the Council for people to raise any concerns with Councillors.
