A Northbridge resident (jn the Mosman Daily of all places) pined that “all agree (Chatswood Mall) is run down“. Well not according to Willoughby Council’s CEO.
Chatswood centre – criticism unwarranted
Willoughby City Council’s most recent perception survey of 723 residents contradicts his statement that ‘all agree’ Chatswood is ‘run down’.
On the contrary, more than nine in 10 respondents indicated that Willoughby is an appealing place to live. In fact, 84% of respondents said the appearance of public spaces in the Chatswood shopping precinct were either good or very good. I invite you to visit Chatswood to see for yourself – take in a show at The Concourse, enjoy a meal at one of the many amazing restaurants or bring your family and friends to a festival.
Debra Just, CEO, Willoughby City Council

The plan was previously exhibited. The report in the Council papers for Monday 10th February 2020 presents the results of the consultation process. Thirty three participants provided feedback through the Have Your Say site and six provided additional feedback direct to Council. The majority of responses received were in support of the Draft Vegetation Management Policy, Guidelines and Draft Part C.9 Vegetation Management, with minor changes. There were only three submissions that did not support the Policy.
Based on submissions the only change made to the policy was “To enhance canopy cover in the Willoughby LGA”
The main issues raised were:
1. Not to all pruning of Public Trees for Views
2. Bush Fire Risk
3. Application Notifications (when trees are to be removed)
4. Need for Flexibility to Remove Healthy Trees
5. More Education required

This includes, boat trailers, caravans and horse floats, and trailers of any sort (including box trailers). Initially the signs will be used in Naremburn. But the restrictions can also be used on:

‘Yellow-lid bin’ recycling (papers, tins and bottles in Australia is in crisis. China, the largest customer for Australian recyclables banned acceptance of recyclables in 2018 and a viable replacement market has not been found. Now the depotthat processes Willoughby’s yellow bin waste will close at the end of March. Last week Council started sending recyclables to IQ Renew, a plant on the Central Coast.
Willoughby Council has said that it may need to increase rates because the cost of an alternative recycler was more than doubled. Waste collection and disposal is funded by Council’s Waste Levy. Council doses not need to seek a rate rise from the state government. The Levy is based on the actual costs involved with collecting and disposing of waste. The Levy can be changed, at will, each financial year
