August Meeting – new Redfern Station bridge

The agenda for the August ARAG meeting is:

  • Redfern Station – we have a speaker coming from Transport for NSW to talk about the new proposed bridge (AKA concourse)
  • Euston Road Widening (Alexandria to Moore Park, or A2MP) – a short update
  • Drilling in Sydney Park – what’s going on?

The meeting will be at:

  • 7pm, Wednesday 14 August
  • Alexandria Town Hall, 73 Garden St, Alexandria.

Redfern Station New Southern Concourse – comments close today (2 June)

You’re possibly aware that the NSW Government has committed to upgrading the capacity of Redfern Station by building a new concourse (bridge) over the southern end of the station platforms.

Comments formally close tonight (2 June), and may be sent to projects@transport.nsw.gov.au (sorry for the late notice).

There will also be one more public consultation session:
Counterpoint’s Factory Community Centre,
67 Raglan Street Waterloo,
Thursday 6th June 6:00pm – 8:00pm

The proposal is for the concourse to have one entrance on Little Eveleigh Street and one entrance on Marian Street, between the WaterTower apartments and the current southern entrance to platform 10. The concourse will have connections to platforms 1 through 10, but not platforms 11 and 12 (the Bondi Junction Line).

ARAG will discuss this at a future meeting, possibly July. (The June meeting will discuss the Traffic Management Survey and parking.)

Metro plans on exhibition – until Wednesday

Plans for the Waterloo Metro Quarter Precinct and the Waterloo Metro Quarter Over Station Development are both open for comment until Wednesday, 30th Jan:

It’s OK to make the same submission at both websites – although they are two parts of the same project, they each have their own separate review process.

Your submission doesn’t need to be long and detailed. It does need to be lodged by Wednesday. Continue reading

Christmas Meeting, this Wednesday – Community Strategic Plan, Sydney 2050

Our final meeting for this year is this Wednesday, the 12th of December.

The meeting will be at the usual time and place: 7:00pm, Alexandria Town Hall, 73 Garden St.

We’re lucky enough to have council in attendance, talking about the City’s Community Strategic Plan, Sydney 2050, and how we can have input into it.

Unless some urgent issue comes out of the woodwork, this will be our last meeting until February.
