Magill Community Battery Lease Update
At its meeting on Tuesday 19 September 2023, Council noted the results of the recent community engagement and agreed to grant a 15 year ground Lease to the Department for Energy and Mining for the purpose of installing a Community Battery on Tuku Wirra Reserve in Magill.
Council also agreed to arrange for an attractive and non-invasive surrounding to the battery to reduce its visual impact.
The full report is available on the Council agenda.
Further details about the Magill Community Battery project are available on Connect 2 Campbelltown.
Referendum Community Information Session
Council’s Reconciliation Advisory Committee is holding a ‘Referendum Community Information Session’ for Council residents.
This is an information session about what the referendum is and how it works. The panel includes a Senior Counsel to speak on the constitution and Campbelltown local First Nations residents. The session is not about what to vote as Council does not have a position on this.
Date: Tuesday 26 September 2023, 7.00pm - 8.00pm
Venue: Campbelltown Function Centre, 172 Montacute Road Rostrevor
Registrations are essential at: eventbrite
Cool Refuge Project - Update
Council recently conducted consultation with the community regarding whether it is appropriate to establish a Community Refuge in our Council area. Staff are finalising analysis of the survey, and will shortly report outcomes to the Climate Solutions Advisory Committee and Council.
The Working Group has been involved in two workshops. The first focused on how we should define a cool refuge and identified necessary amenities (such as outdoor space, Wi-Fi, entertainment, pet accessibility, showers, air-conditioning, access to public transport, etc.), and potential usage scenarios. A follow up workshop worked through what might be needed to conduct a cool refuge trial, including which types of Council facilities might be used for this purpose and other suitable facilities that could be investigated.
Further information will be shared following consideration of the community and working group outcomes by the Committee and Council.
Details about the Cool Refuge Project can found here.
