State of the environment reports

The annual State of the Environment Report provides an overview of the current condition of the local environment. The report forms part of Council's Annual Report and is used to develop Council's Management Plans.

The State of the Environment Report establishes a wide range of baselines that collectively determine the environmental quality of the City. Against these baselines, a range of environmental indicators are used to assess trends in environmental quality. Over time, these trends indicate the Council's success in protecting, managing, developing, restoring, enhancing and conserving environmental qualities of the City.

Alternatively, full colour high resolution printed versions may be purchased from Council's Customer Service Centre. Contact Us. You can also view this document at any of the Council libraries.

Community Facilities study and plan

Randwick City Council has prepared this Community Facilities study and plan to provide immediate, short term and long term strategic direction for the provision of appropriate community facilities in the Randwick Local Government Area (LGA). The report can be viewed in its entirety by clicking on the link below.

Community Facilities Study and Plan - November 2003 (pdf 332kb)

Objectives

  • Review the current provision of community services and facilities
  • Analyse the impact of existing and forecasted demographic trends on current and future community needs
  • Develop an inventory of the existing council owned facilities that also includes coverage of future redevelopment projects planned within the next 5-10 years
  • Identify non Council owned facilities that are available to the community
    Analyse the extent to which all available community facilities meet the overall Community needs of the Randwick LGA
  • Provide a community facilities plan for the appropriate and equitable consolidation, rationalisation, disposal, upgrade and acquisition of social infrastructure to meet the existing and projected needs of the residents in the Randwick LGA.

The study is underpinned by principles of social equity and has the capacity to be integrated into a number of areas of Council's operations.

2021 Citywide Strategic Plan

The Study provides a key input into the preparation of the 20-year City Wide Strategic Plan. This long term strategic planning framework will enable the City to better manage growth and change over time through an integration of all planning issues.

Social Plan

As part of Council's statutory obligation to prepare a Social Plan, Council is required to indicate how it will address issues of relevance to members of the community in the seven mandatory target groups:

  • children
  • young people
  • older people
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
  • people with a disability
  • people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
  • women.

Management Plan

The Management Plan provides a tool for the achievement of the strategic directions for the city. It is through the Management Plan that the adopted recommendations of the Study will be implemented within budget constraints.

Section 94 Plan

As stated previously, an important objective of the Study is to assess the need for community facilities in the next 10-20 years and identify the additional facilities required, as a result of new development. This assessment will then be used to provide a firm basis for the calculation of Section 94 contributions, including an estimate of appropriate levels of apportionment of contributions from new development, towards facility provision.

Background

In March 2000 Randwick City Council commissioned an external planning consultant, Heather Nesbitt, to conduct a community facilities needs and development study and a progress report on the study was provided in August 2001. However, it was then recognised that if Council was to develop a strategic direction in terms of the provision of community facilities that a more extensive report was required.

Consequently, a cross-departmental team commenced the new study in late 2002 and this final report has been prepared using Council staff and resources. It has drawn to some extent on information provided in the original draft report.

Outline of report

  • Section 1 of the report provides detailed information about current and projected population data in terms of both key target groups and suburbs.
  • Section 2 describes the current provision of community facilities and services that exist in the Randwick City.
  • This leads to an assessment of available facilities in Section 3 where an inventory of all Council owned community facilities is provided along with information on , location, current usage, zoning and classification. Other Council amenities such as children's playgrounds and sporting and recreational facilities that meet the needs of various target groups are also included in the audit. Information is provided on non-Council owned community facilities along with facilities provided for community groups by organisations such as licensed clubs.
  • Section 4 focuses on planning for the provision of community facilities. The demand for facilities can be forecast using current and projected population data, current usage patterns of existing facilities and benchmark standards for the provision of community facilities.
  • The final Section outlines the community facilities strategy for Randwick City Council.

Randwick City Transport Study

The Randwick City Transport Study was endorsed by Council on 10 August 2004 for exhibition and public feedback. The study has been undertaken as input to Council's Randwick City Plan, which will set the direction for Randwick City over the next 20 years. The study's aim was to provide short, medium and long term strategies for the provision of improved public transport, including light rail, better land use and traffic integration, travel by all modes including cycling and walking and car parking management within Randwick City. The study also examined the means by which to fund these strategies, including S94 contributions.
