Have your say on parks, playspaces and recreation

Do you use parks and reserves, playgrounds, beaches and sports and recreation facilities in the Woollahra Municipality? If so, we want to hear from you!

These locatio ns and facilities are a key priority for Woollahra Council because they play an important role in wellbeing by providing places to stay active, connect with nature and meet with family and friends.

Council manages 21 Crown Land reserves on behalf of the NSW Government, and we have developed new Draft Plans of Management to help guide their future use, and new Playspace and Recreation strategies which identify needs and opportunities for improvement of existing facilities.

We are seeking comm unity feedback on these important documents, so please share your thoughts at yoursay.woollahra.nsw.gov. au/openspace by April 3, or let us know in person at one of our upcoming pop-up information sessions throughout March.

Transforming Rose Bay laneways

We are bringing Rose Bay laneways to life through art, with new painting, murals, plantings and lighting installed as part of the Streets as Shared Spaces program.

Stroll through Perciva Lane, Collins Lane and Collins Avenue to check out the vibrant new surrounds at each location, and stay a while to enjoy some outdoor dining.

We would love to know what you think about these activations, so please take a short survey at yoursay.woollahra.nsw.gov.au/sass by Mar 28.

Local road repairs

Woollahra Council has received $1.576 million in funding from the NSW Government to help fix potholes on local roads, streets and laneways.

Our crews are looking forgetting to work, so if you spot a pothole, please send us a photo on the Woollahra App and we will repair it as soon as possible.

We will also continue to work with the state government on maintenance priorities for major roads in the Woollahra LGA such as New South Head Rd

Waverley Park upgrade countdown begins

One of Sydney’s last remaining Moon Rocket slippery dips in Bondi is set to make a comeback as part of Waverley Council’s upgrade of Waverley Park.

Yarra Bay Family Fun Day

Randwick Council is hosting Yarra Bay Family Fun Day! All members of the community are invited to attend a family-friendly celebration of Yarra Bay at Bicentennial Park, Yarra Bay (near the Sailing Club) on Saturday Mar 4, 11am-3pm.

“We are delighted to be hosting this event to highlight our community’s love of Yarra Bay – it has to stay,” said Mayor Dylan Parker. “It’s a special part of our City and we support the local residents in preserving the unique beauty and heritage of the local area.”

“The Family Fun Day is all about celebration and showing our love for this treasured place in our City.”

Yarra Bay has been under a dark cloud since 2018 when the NSW Government released a Cruise Development Plan identifying the need for a third international cruise ship terminal in Sydney. The preferred location for third terminal has been narrowed down to Yarra Bay.

Randwick Council launches new soft plastics recycling service

Randwick City residents can once again recycle soft plastics with Randwick Council entering into a new partnership with a local recycler, says Mayor Dylan Parker.

Under the partnership, Randwick City residents can drop off their soft plastics at the Randwick Recycling Centre in Matraville beginning immediately.

The plastic is then collected by a company called Plasmar, taken to their recycling facility where it is pelletised and recycled into practical products like wheel stops, posts and bollards.

Council has also agreed to buy back these products as a trial for local use, meaning plastics recycled locally will be given a new lease on life in the place they were originally collected.

2023 Women’s Art Prize opens for entries

The annual competition is a special opportunity to shine a spotlight on women’s creative talents and to bring like-minded members of the community together to celebrate the unique contribution that women make to our City.

Winning and shortlisted artworks will be showcased in an exhibition at the Randwick Community Centre in honour of International Women's Day, which takes place on Mar 8.

Marjorie O'Neill MP MEMBER FOR COOGEE

Hi Everyone,

I hope ever yone has had an enjoyable holiday break, and I’d like to acknowledge our heroic public healthcare workers who have continued to work hard while others have been relaxing. As another busy year begins, I’d like to highlight some important developments for Coogee and beyond.

At the SCG’s recent Pi nk Test, I was joined by NSW Labor leader Chris Minns to announce a commitment to make NSW the first state in Australia that provides specialist care for everyone diagnosed with breast cancer, through the incredible McGrath Foundation. A $19.5 million investment will ensure that regardless of where you live or what you earn, those diagnosed with breast cancer will have free access to a breast cancer nurse.

As a proud supporter of an Abor iginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament, I am excited to see our community and our country come together to create a better future by voting ‘Yes’ for the Voice in this year’s referendum. The Voice is about improving the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, including in practical ways such as health, education, and housing.

Stay safe and look after each other.
