Dear Community Member

It’s timely now, with the impending opening of the Church Point Carpark, to remind residents of the upcoming changes to parking in the Church Point area.

The changes, adopted by Council in November 2016, as part of the Church Point Parking Demand Management Strategy, will be implemented once the new carpark is fully operational – anticipated to be 1 May 2018.

Changes in parking conditions will apply to the Church Point Carpark, Reserve Carpark, local streets and Bothams Beach carpark. All changes will be signposted, and drivers are urged to check all signage before leaving your vehicle.

Church Point car park

61 car parking spaces located on the lower level of the Church Point car park will have the following parking conditions:

Pay and Display between 6am – 6pm every day, Church Point Permits excepted
Church Point Permits only between 6pm – 6am everyday
A coupon parking scheme will apply to 68 car parking spaces located on the upper level of the Church Point car park

Church Point Reserve car park

64 parking spaces located in the Church Point Reserve car park (second row from Pittwater) will have the following parking conditions:

Pay and Display between 6am – 6pm every day, Church Point Permits excepted
Church Point Permits only between 6pm – 6am everyday
Reduction in 4P (four hour) parking between 9.30am – 7pm from 20 car parking spaces to 15 car parking spaces

Church Point Local Streets

4P (four hour) parking will apply to car parking spaces between 6am – 10pm everyday in Baroona Road, Eastview Road (south side), Quarter Sessions Road and Pittwater Road (near house number 2151)
Existing conditions will remain in place for car parking spaces located on the Pittwater side of Eastview Road

Bothams Beach car park

8P (eight hour) parking will apply to all ten parking spaces located in the Bothams Beach car park, Church Point permits excepted

Yours faithfully

Ausgrid - Bushfire Service Replacement Program

Scotland Island and West Pittwater

Bushfire Service Replacement Program

The program

Ausgrid has a targeted asset replacement program in high risk bushfire areas, such as Scotland Island and West Pittwater. Before the commencement of the next bushfire season in September2018, Ausgrid has identified network services that require replacement and will be undertaking this program in early May 2018. In conjunction with our own asset replacement, Ausgrid and its contractors will be working with the community to ensure privately owned assets also comply with bushfire standards. Weather permitting, we expect the program to be completed by earlyAugust.

How to identify private poles and wires

There are many different arrangements for supplying electricity to homes and businesses across Ausgrid’s distribution area. Ausgrid has responsibility for building and maintaining the electricity network in the street, public areas and supplying power to the connection point on your property. Property owners are responsible for the electrical assets on their property beyond this connection point, including all private power poles, powerlines and pole-top fittings. It is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure assets on private property are safely maintained.

Information to help property owners identify private poles and wires versus network assets is available on the Scotland Island project page on the Ausgrid website www.ausgrid.com.au/scotlandisland.

Maintaining private poles and wires

As part of our program to replace network services, Ausgrid is not able to work on or replace private poles or wires. While carrying out our asset work, the crews may be

identifying any high level emergency bushfire risks on private properties that require immediate attention and action.

Property owners will be notified of any work that is required

–which may include vegetation management, maintenance or replacement of poles or wires.

In conjunction with the network upgrade program, private contractors will also inspect all private poles and wires to ensure they meet the required bushfire standards. Owners of private power poles and overhead powerlines that do not comply with the new standards , will be issued with a notice detailing the defect, what action is required and by when.

Where rectification is required it will be the responsibility of individual properties to organise and carry out the work required to meet the bushfire standards.

For property owners concerned with cost and who may be facing financial hardship, Ausgrid has a hardship assistance policy which may be accessible. This assists to ensure this important work is completed. Information is available on the website www.ausgrid.com.au/scotlandisland.

Access

Scotland Island

Ausgrid plans to setup a temporary work site at the rural fire shed on Scotland Island for the duration of the program. Ausgrid vehicles are required to park on the Robertson

Road shoulder beside the fire station to ensure access is maintained to the fire shed at all times. We ask residents with vehicles parked at this location to find alternative parking during the works.

West Pittwater

Ausgrid staff will access the Western Foreshore via the National Park and fire trials and plan to utilise existing storage areas at the RFS sheds.

Drop in for more information

The project team will be available on Monday mornings from 7 May between 8-9am at the Scotland Island work site for residents to drop in with any questions or queries regarding the upcoming work.

Key dates

30 April 2018 - Set up temporary work site at the RFS shed on Scotland Island

7 May 2018 - Start the wire replacement program and Monday morning drop in sessions
