Helensburgh Town Centre work
We are waiting on a completion schedule from Council. Council has taken feedback regarding stormwater flows in rainfall events including video of water flows where the blocked drains at both pedestrian crossings in Walker St can clearly be seen.
Whitty Rd and Walker St intersection
The damage at the intersection has been inspected by Council and we wait on a solution and timeframe for the works.
Helensburgh Off Road Cycle Club
The EPA requires Council to have all the imported fill removed and correctly processed at a licensed facility. Council are organising the required paperwork and will arrange the removal.
Otford Community Hall Replacement
Due to the white ant damage to the hall at Otford, Council is replacing the hall and in February will release the draft plans for community consultation. Council officers will present the plans at NF1’s February meeting.
