From the Mayor
Following this week’s extraordinary Council meeting, Councillors have voted to consult the Ku-ring-gai community on a range of new housing options.
We are seeking community feedback on five scenarios to deliver new housing in Roseville, Lindfield, Killara and Gordon station precincts, to meet the NSW Government’s housing targets. Consultation will begin in mid November and end in mid December, and we’ll be using a wide range of methods to get your feedback. You can read more on our website and be notified of the start of the exhibition period.
From 10.40am on Monday 11 November Council and our community will mark Remembrance Day at Roseville Memorial Park with a ceremony hosted by the Roseville Memorial Club. Everyone is welcome to join us for this special service.
Each year the Council acknowledges the outstanding work of local volunteers and others with the Local Citizen of the Year Awards. These recognise Ku-ring-gai residents who have demonstrated excellent citizenship and a contribution to our community. Awards will be presented on Australia Day in January and nominations close on 8 December.
