From the Mayor
On Sunday 16 June, we are scheduled to plant trees at the West Pymble Village Green as part of a scientific and educational initiative on climate adaptation. This Tiny Forest has a footprint of 5% of the site.
Later in the month, Council will be holding information sessions regarding the NSW Government’s changes to ‘low- and mid-rise housing’. These changes will introduce dual occupancies across all residential zones in NSW, as well as increased density (apartments and townhouses) within 800m of all train stations and certain shops such as St Ives Shopping Village.
For those interested in understanding these changes, more information will be available at public forums held across Ku-ring-gai. You can register online. Please note that due to the expected demand, we request that residents attend one forum only.
The Local Government Elections on 14 September will be a fantastic time to connect with your community at the local school or church. And for those who are interested in participating as a candidate, political party or third-party campaigner, this free webinar will be available.
