October 2020 | Spring Newsletter
Happy spring time fellow Prince Henry residents and neighbours.
In this newsletter we're calling for action on a number of pressing local issues, including the gridlocked traffic everyone in the area experienced during the October long weekend, as well as the total disregard for social distancing, and the perennial illegal and disrespectful parking behaviour of some visitors to the area when we're blessed with a beautiful weekend.
Then of course there's the continuing saga of Little Bay Cove and Meriton's push to destroy the essence of the area. Please read on to see what you can do to help.
And, planning for the potential mega-cruise ship terminal at Yarra Bay is more than likely still bubbling away, so don't forget to keep up the pressure.
Also read about the plans for an updated website owned and operated by the Community Association which, following approval at the AGM, is a necessary move to ensure effective succession planning and continuity.
Thanks, as always, to each of our generous website sponsors and editorial contributors, particulary those sponsors that have recently renewed their sponsorship. Sponsors provide the financial support to enable the Prince Henry Community website to remain viable, as well as news updates to share with our readers. Volunteer contributors provide much of the substance for our newsletters, so a big thanks to volunteers.

Prince Henry Telecoms Update | October 2020
Following Pivit's and Landcom's departure, the Community Association has written to the NSW Ombudsman asking for a review of Landcom's management of the Network Management Services Agreement. Since Pivit's departure, Prince Henry telecoms service concerns are now the responsibility of the user.
Report local issues direct to Council
Randwick Council has advised that the most effective way to report Council-related problems, such as graffiti, cracked footpaths, damaged infrastructure, overgrown trees, illegal dumping, etc, is to use the Contact us form on its website. This enables Council to track requests more effectively (from submission to action).
Preserving our heritage built items
Following a meeting with the Acting Area Manager – Sydney & South Coast, NSW Department of Industry - Lands and Water, the CA Executive Committee has reviewed a detailed draft maintenance strategy for Prince Henry heritage built items. The CA has been advised that maintenance will be carried out in order of priority.
