Hawkesbury Active Transport Plan on public exhibition

Hawkesbury City Council has developed a Draft Active Transport Plan which is now on public exhibition at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au until 16 April 2024.

A hard copy of the Draft Plan can also be viewed at Council’s Administration Building, 366 George Street, Windsor, Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm during the exhibition period.

The Draft Active Transport Plan provides the framework for an integrated connected network of walking and cycling infrastructure by completing the missing links and developing safe, quality infrastructure and priority routes.

The Plan will provide mobility links throughout the Hawkesbury to connect our centres, parks and facilities and provides an opportunity to review and align priorities developed by the Hawkesbury Mobility Plan 2010 (Bike Plan and Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan) and set the direction for the next 10 years across the Local Government Area.

Community members can provide comment through Council’s community engagement website Your Hawkesbury Your Say at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au or in writing addressed to the General Manager by mail to Hawkesbury City Council, PO Box 146, Windsor NSW 2756, or via email council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au up to close of business on 16 April 2024.

All submissions will be considered and may be included in a Council Meeting Business Paper. Your submission (and any personal information it includes) may be accessible by any person upon written application, subject to Council’s Privacy Management Plan and the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. The inclusion of personal information in your submission is voluntary, however, if not provided, may affect consideration of the submission. The information will ultimately be stored in Council’s records system.

This project is proudly funded by the NSW Government. For any enquiries regarding this matter, please contact Council’s Road Safety Officer on 4560 4444 or via email council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au with reference to Draft Active Transport Plan.

Nominations open for the Natalie Burton Memorial Award

Do you know a high school student who has shown great strength by overcoming adversity? Now is your chance to nominate them for the Natalie Burton Memorial Award.

Hawkesbury City Council has called for nominations for the annual Natalie Burton Memorial Award on behalf of the Burton, Turner and Lawrance families. Community members are encouraged to nominate any high school student from a high school in the Hawkesbury area whom they feel could be awarded with the prestigious Natalie Burton Memorial Award and $200 prize money.

The award is intended for a recipient who has faced a challenging circumstance and, despite this adversity, has still succeeded through their personal application and determination. This could be a disability, illness or a serious accident, the loss of a family member or other situations that sometimes present in life.

The award is open to male or female students and is not restricted to academic achievement; it may take the form of community, sporting or general achievements and improvements.

Natalie Burton was a remarkable individual who died from cancer in March 2003 at the age of 32. Natalie was herself an exceptional student who accomplished a great deal during her life. This award aims to see Natalie’s life and her extraordinary achievements inspire local students to overcome adversity in their own lives to still achieve.
