Your Say Randwick

Following concerns expressed by residents about traffic in Kensington and West Kingsford, Council is doing a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study.

You may see traffic counting in your area, either by people with counters or by rubber tubes stretched across the roads. These traffic counts will result in information on local traffic flow - including speed, volume, vehicle-type and the routes chosen by motorists.

Community consultation and traffic data gathering are vital components of the Council's staged approach.

This website will be regularly updated with the latest information. We will be asking questions and taking quick polls regularly. The document library has all Council's documents relating to traffic management in Kensington from 1995 to the present.

Please log on, join the community conversation and share your ideas with Council and your fellow residents.

Light rail to Randwick is a brilliant idea! To link Randwick to the City by light rail needs community support.

Randwick City Council, the University of NSW and the Australian Turf Club are leading the way and support light rail transport as a matter of priority. They are co-funding a pre-feasibility study into light rail to examine potential routes, preliminary costings, financial viability and patronage.

You're invited to have your say and express your thoughts and support for light rail to Randwick in our online discussion forum.

We want your thoughts on our 2013-14 draft Operational Plan and Budget.

The Operational Plan sets out Randwick City Council’s planned activities for the coming year. The draft $154 million 2013-14 budget will deliver a record $32 million direct investment in capital, which includes road resurfacing, new footpaths, parks and building upgrades across Randwick City. We are proposing a 3.59% rate rise and there will be a 6% increase in our waste levy.

Find out what projects are happening in and take part in our quick poll to let us know if the spending balance we have is right for future years.

This community consultation has now closed. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment or send us a submission. We wanted your comments on our Draft Randwick Development Control Plan (DCP) and we have posted a copy of all submissions on the special website.

A DCP is a written document with supporting maps and diagrams made by Council in consultation with the community. It has planning and design guidelines for new development, which need to be considered in preparing a Development Application.

At present Randwick has 26 site specific and issues based DCPs as well as a number of planning related policies.  These have been reviewed and updated and consolidated into the draft DCP.

Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas. This community consultation has now closed. We want your ideas on our updated Plan for Randwick City and our Resourcing Strategy.

The Randwick City Plan is a 20-year strategic plan that reflects our community’s vision and long term goals. Underpinning the Randwick City Plan is a Resourcing Strategy.

The Resourcing Strategy shows how we will deliver services to the community in a cohesive and sustainable way. It includes modelling options for future rates and revenue forecasts. The Resourcing Strategy is based setting an Integrated Planning Rate of 3.59 per cent over the next four years. We are keen to have your comments on this aspect of the Resourcing Strategy.
