Timelines explained

  • Short : Work that can be done without approvals, or replacements of existing signs or lines.
    Note that grant funding will likely be needed for signs and line marking, as our current allocation for this work is full. We plan to group projects from several schools to seek grant funding if possible.
  • Medium: Actions that need us to consult with, or get approval from, other agencies like Transport for NSW. This can also include things that are the responsibility of a different agency. Council's role in some recommendations may only be to advocate or pass on a request.
  • Long: Actions that need further investigation and, if supported, will form part of Council's Infrastructure Delivery Program to be completed as resources are available. This process could take several years or more in some cases.
