Gilgandra Reserve and playground

We are inviting the community to provide feedback about our proposed upgrade of Gilgandra Reserve and Playground, North Bondi.

Concern over former Holden Suttons site redevelopment

Randwick Council will lodge a submission against a proposal to build more than 800 new homes including a childcare facility, general retail and supermarket on the former Holden Suttons site on Link Rd, Zetland. Councillors raised significant concern with the scale of the development and impact on nearby residents. Council’s submission requests a full assessment of traffic impacts be undertaken along with a heritage impact assessment. Council will now forward the submission to the City of Sydney for consideration.

Council partnership to deliver on affordable housing

Randwick Council will partner with neighbouring Waverley and Woollahra Councils to deliver more affordable housing for the eastern suburbs. The councils will work together to identify available grants and funding as well as to identity potential sites where more affordable housing could be built through a partnership approach.

Trial to light up park

Sports field lights at Nagle Park in Maroubra will be turned on five nights a week as part of a trial to support residents exercise and dog walking during the winter months. A recent Council community consultation found 93% support to proceed with the trial. The trial will now run until Sept 2023 and be evaluated afterwards.

Proposed Malabar Ocean Pool

Amenities building

Gilgandra Reserve is owned by Sydney Water with a lease agreement allowing the Council to use, manage and maintain the reserve for public use. Their consent is required for any upgrades on their land and Council Officers are actively working with Sydney Water on this project.

As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing our outdoor green space, Waverley Council has developed a concept design for the proposed playground upgrade which has been informed by Council’s Community Strategic Plan 2022-2032 and Play Space Strategy 2014-2029.

Council proposes to upgrade all play equipment to the latest Australian Standards for safety to provide a range of play experiences including active, imaginative, creative, social, quiet and free play.

Consultation closes Monday June 5 at haveyoursay.waverley.nsw.gov.au

Marjorie O'Neill MP MEMBER FOR COOGEE

Hi Everyone,

As the first Parliamentary session for 2023, and the new Labor Government, has officially started we are now getting to work turning our policy ideas into real and sustainable changes to improve your day-to-day life and outcomes for our whole community.

Previously, the big decisions that shaped our communities were taken out of the hands of locals who stood to be affected the most. Budgets were blown out by private contractors and operators, community consultations either didn’t happen or were ignored. We had to watch our valuable state assets being sold off and privatised one by one.

That is why I am so proud to be a member of the New South Wales Government that values transparency, community voices and keeping public assets in public hands.

Big changes are coming and after years of reading your letters, meeting with you in my office and collecting your petitions I know that these changes will be for the better.

As your local member, I will not be engaging in back-room deals and political horse-trading on the issues that matter to our community. You deserve transparency and accountability from your government. I believe that needs to start at the local office. My door is always open and I always want to hear from you about what is working and what isn’t and what changes are needed.

To stay up-to-date about what’s happening in the NSW Parliament and in our community please scan this QR code to sign up to our newsletters!

A proposal to build an amenities building near the Malabar Ocean Pool will be put out for community consultation. The proposal follows community consultation in 2020 which found general support for an amenities building to meet the needs of pool users. Community feedback indicated the building should be compact, preserve nearby sensitive bushland and retain views from nearby properties. The draft concept design has been carefully created to respond to community concerns and can be viewed at www.yoursay.randwick. nsw.gov.au

Randwick Junction Planning Proposal

A draft planning proposal to reinvigorate Randwick Town Centre will now be progressed to the Randwick Local Planning Panel for advice after Randwick Councillors considered the matter.
