THE GLEBE MARKETSStanding Room Only At Council Meeting Balancing the Pros and ConsA recent meeting chaired by the Mayor, Ald. LarryHand at Council on 8 March demonstrated that theGlebe markets held at the school grounds on week-ends have become a divisive issue in the community.

The meeting was the outcome of a request byresidents to which it is understood council sentaround 16 invitations to representatives of residentsand the markets.

The level of feeling in the community resulting fromthe expansion of the markets became evident as notonly invited representatives but about 50 residents aswell as business representatives joined the meeting —many to voice their discontent of the effect of themarkets on their lifestyles. Had the meeting been heldlocally and out of work hours, many more peoplewould have joined it.

While the markets have been significantly expandedsince 1990 into a development now comparable to ashopping centre, for people affected by the develop-ment this appeared the first opportunity to be able tocontribute to a public forum to discuss the issues.

Concerns raised at the meeting included the disruptionto people's lives from traffic congestion, lack ofparking, noise and music, rubbish and the condition ofthe school facilities. Residents also commented on theproblems of living with the behaviour of large crowdsdrawn to Glebe as a result of the promotion of themarkets as a 'weekend destination'.

The meeting ended with residents arranging tonominate spokespeople to negotiate further. Theseinclude Peter Wright, Cathy Percival and FionaCampbell. A Local Environmental Plan has sincebeen finalised and, when approved, a developmentapplication can be lodged to run the markets in theschool grounds.

For some time residents have expressed individualconcerns about the markets. There have beenapproaches to the organisers, council, the school andthe member for Port Jackson, Ms Sandra Nori, whoindicated in a letter of last 30 April that she hasreceived numerous complaints about the effect of theGlebe markets on local residents and urged council toconsult extensively with affected residents.

At the heart of the matter, it needs to be made clearthat many residents are very supportive of the schooland so on this basis they support the idea of a marketas it brings revenue — $1300 a week — to the school.For many people the issue centres on their size andoperation. Paddington markets, for example, is runonly on Saturdays and appears to be limited to 250stalls to accommodate both operators and residents.

While the market Co-ordinators have written that 'themarkets affect one day of the week only' — the Sundaymarkets being the busier of the two days with up to 350stalls or more — many residents consider Sunday as aday of rest and recreation after a busy week.

In the words of one resident, Faye Gardiner: 'I am anon-user of the markets. The biggest issue for me isthe noise. The 1 traffic fumes also affect me. I find thelitter offensive. I don't have a car because offrustration levels because I can't park in my ownstreet on weekends. There's a lack of convenience forvisitor parking. There's a major decrease in thequality of life. I moved here because, although it mayhave been busy during the week, it was quiet onSundays. It was a peaceful street four years ago. I'veseriously considered moving'.

Residents are now waiting on a meeting with theMayor and market organisers to work out a balancefor the organisers and the people who live here.

What About Business?

School Council Starts Meeting 2

Twenty seven businesses associated with the sale offood recently signed a petition 'registering ouropposition to the Leichardt [sic] Municipal Councilgranting any form of permission or approval for thesale of food or beverages in the Glebe PrimarySchool grounds on weekends.'

Objections were based on the following grounds:

1. There are no health or sanitary provisions for thesale of food and beverages, i.e., no hot and coldwater facilities and no refrigeration available foruse by these (approximately fifteen) stalls.

2. There are approximately 50 shops which sell foodand beverages in Glebe Point Road. The trade ofthese shops is being detrimentally affected by theactivities of the market food stalls.

3. Shopkeepers are paying very high council andwater rates on the basis of their presentcommercial zones.

Representatives of two businesses along Glebe PointRoad, Roger Mackell from Gleebooks and DaleMakeri from Cafe Libanais recently spoke with theMayor on the markets.

Dale said she believed shopkeepers have concernswith the lack of consultation between the marketoperator and the shops.

`Shopkeepers wish to make it clear that while theysupport the markets and benefit of the financialreturn of the rent to the school, they expressparticular concern with the increase of stalls andeffect on traffic and congestion and parking in thearea', she said.

The Glebe Society welcomes the goal of theDepartment of School Education to 'encouragecommunity participation in the education process'.

The Director-General of School Education, Dr F.G.Sharpe has written that 'effective schools arecharacterised by a powerful commitment and deepinvolvement of the local community, particularlyparents, in the life of the school.

The new principal of Glebe Public School, Mr GregBuddle, has listed the members of the schoolcouncil. Their positions are also listed.

Glebe residents lobbyover marketsGLEBE residents have formed

themselves into an action groupto voice their opinions on thefuture of the Glebe markets.

The Glebe Residents' Action Groupwill not fight for the abolition of themarkets but rather lobby for a restrictionin the size of the Sunday market.

Group member Peter Wright said theproblem for most residents was that themarkets, held at Glebe Public School,had become too big and were denigratingresidents' lives on weekends.

The residents were particularly con-cerned with traffic and pollution inDerwent, Cowper, Catherine, Arundeland Mitchell Sts.

He said prior to the markets residentshad some privacy, but now this hadchanged and residents could not even

park near their homes. Mr Wright saidthe biggest problem was the Sundaymarket which was about two to threetimes larger than the Saturday market.

He said the markets were originallystarted as a means of raising money forGlebe Public School but the school wasno longer getting enough profit frommoney raised to justify the residentialinconvenience.

"There is anywhere between 450 and600 stallholders there every week and at$20 a stall there has to be anywhere from$9000 to $12,000 raised," Mr Wrightsaid.

"But only $1300 of the money is goingto the school," he said.

But market organiser JudieMcCumstie said the market was a boonto the school and community and it Wasonly a small group of people who feltanimosity towards it.

Ms McCumstie said the amount ofmoney which came in from the marketsvaried each week.

Leichhardt Council presently has littlecontrol over the markets because they arenot included in a local environment plan,but this was expected to change this year.

TRAFFIC AND TRAASPuRT 3Jeanette Knox

Recent meetings of Leichhardt Municipalcouncil's traffic & transport. Advisorycommittee have included:

* consideration of a draft pedestrianpolicy, which has now gone to Council andis to be advertised for public comment;

* presentation of a discussion paper onpublic transport in the LeichhardtMunicipality prepared by Mr P. Singleton;

* Light Rail and the possibility oforganising another train ride to publicisethe need to extend the Light Rail routebeyond the Fish Markets tithe limit of thestate Government's plans so far);

* bicycle policies and routes.

Public Transport Discussion Paper

The Committee, while not supporting all theproposals detailed in Mr Singleton's paper,agreed that it was an excelllent foundationfrom which to develop a policy for theMunicipality.

The paper is based on the assumption that agood transport system will:

* reliably and effectively move peoplefrom where they are to where they want tobe;* cater for the needs of all people;* move people with the minimum

environmental impact and particularly withminimum pollution:* be safe, both as it operates and in

respect of people walking home at night;* be consistent with our heritage;* operate with minimum interference with

other people, who are not using the system;* be inexpensive and make use of existing

capital infrastructure;* encourage employment in the area:* be funded.

the paper suggests the following standardsas a starting point for discussion;

4d person Hio at :111 .), be able toget from any place in the municipality toanywhere in an adjoining municipalitywithin three-quarters of an hour;* a person should at any time be able to

get from any place in the municipality toanywhere in the Sydney metropolis in anhour and a half.

No single solution is seen for thetransport problems of the area. Planning isadvocated on a global basis. Differentmodes of transport would be integrated on agrid system. This is envisaged as involvinglarge vehicles e.g. trains & State Transitferries) travelling to and from the centreand across town and stopping fairlyinfrequently. The gaps are then filled bysmaller vehicles (e.g. mini-buses & smallferries) which feed passengers to anddistribute them from interchanges (e.g.large wharves and railway stations).

Planners should ask what an area'stransport needs are, and what system wouldbest satisfy them. In Leichhardt theseneeds are seen as:

* to get people from Leichhardt to theLED and back; to meet this need largevehicle express services are needed such asLight Rail and State Transit ferries;

* to get people to and from the expressservices, to get people to and fromdifferent suburbs, and to get people to andfrom neighbouring municipalites; this needcould be met by medium sized measures suchas trams, State Government buses and smallferries;

* to get people to and from places withintheir suburb; a mini-bus service andimprovements to the pedestrian'senvironment .1-inlOri LdPrerl

LIGHT RAIL Andrew Wood .NESTO#AFtOti oF (yLhbh DIGGERS MEMORIAL 4Nelson

The goods railway line that runs in atunnel under Glebe will be closed. Dv theState Rail Authority at the end of April.The track, which form a loop betweenSummer Hill and Redfern, is thus nowavailable for an inner city light rail(tram) system and it is essential that nopart of it should be sold for profit by theState Government. A previous SRA objectionto permitting trams to use the line wasthat it was also used by the occasionalgoods train and the SRA was against a linebeing shared by heavy and light railsystems.

The State Government has decided to proceedwith plans for a light rail system linkingthe railway colonnade of Central RailwayStation with the Fish Markets (via BelmorePark, Hay Street, George Street and DarlingHarbour). Between Darling Harbour and theFish Markets the system will use theexisting railway line. The total cost ofthe proposed system is $40 million with $24million of the total provided by theFederal Government's Building Better CitiesProgram. It is also proposed that privatecapital will be provided and that thesystem will be privately operated. Aprivate firm of consultants has beenappointed to draw up an environmentalimpact statement which will go on publicdisplay in June 1993,

It is important for the Glebe Society tonow formulate its policy on a light railsystem to our suburb. It will be necessaryfor the Society to convince both the StateGovernment and private developers that theproposed system should be extended from theFish Markets to Glebe, and on to theadjacent suburbs. Any members of theSociety who would like to join the LightRail Subcommittee and assist its workshould contact Andrew Wood. Please feelfree to give your ideas to Andrew or anymember of the Management Committee.

You may have seen press reportsfollowing the release of DavidLockwood's most recent wind analysis9/3/93. Here is a summary :1. Using Bureau of Meterology windrecords, wind gusts are found 40%greater than the EIS (EnvironmentalImpact Statement).2. East-west air traffic willdouble.3. The CAA wants 25 knot, the FAC30 kt -which is manufacturers' limit -

but half the pilots choose the crosswind runway when winds exceed 21 kt.4. Peak east-west traffic will exceed25%; average traffic will exceedEIS predictions five-fold - EISsaid 1.2%.5. Variations in weather such asEl Nino were not investigated inthe planning or the EIS.6. Noise and crash hazard will bemuch greater than predicted. North-erly take-offs will increase 6 foldbeyond 1988 base, to 12,000 per year.7. Attempts to operate at predictedlevels will pressure the safetymargins. Pilots would deal withhigher levels of cross-winds tomeet operating needs.8. The Bureau of Meteorologydocuments (FOI) show basic supportfor Lockwood's scientific work.

Lockwood haswritten to theAviation Min-ister askingfor suitableindependentanalyses toconfirm, denyor modify thefindings. TheSociety hasalso writtento the Prime Minister. After the$7m EIS, we don't know the fullextent of the impact upon our lives.The Society will call upon the NSWGovernment to direct the MaritimeServices Board to conduct an EISinto dredging Botany Bay and expan-sion of Port Botany, and to dis-close the full cost of the thirdrunway and Port Botany development.Here are some questions posed byCAEA Inc in a recent newsletter:Where will the vast amount of sandcome from, for Port Botany devel-opment?

What will be the long-term effectsof dredging toxins from the Bay?Who will pay for destruction ofTowra Point Nature Reserve, LadyRobinsons Beach & Dolls Point?Who will compensate the $5mfishing industry? Discussionsare now scheduled, we hear.How will Sydney's roads cope withairport and port traffic?Who will pay the estimated $2bnfor road and rail to make theairport and port work?When will the third runway behanded over to the MSB for portuses?

THE SOCIETY'S RECENT STREETSTALL raised $700, which was dis-tributed to CAEA's legal fund andthe Diggers War Memorial restorationThank you everyone for leafletting,donations and helping on the day.Our hard work brought outstandingresults!

25 February 1993

Dear Sir/Madam

I write to thank you for having participated in my "Bus Survey" last year and to forward a copy ofthe results. The response was overwhelming. Unfortunately, because of a lack of resources it wasnot possible for me to undertake the long and time consuming task of analysing the questionnairesany sooner. Matters were made worse when a student who was due to be seconded to my officeto oversee the collection of the data did not eventuate. However, I was fortunate to secure theassistance of Professor Ralph Hall and Yvette Stern from the University of New South Wales whoassisted me greatly in completing the survey.

While the results of the survey did not contain any surprises as such, the results do confirm just howdesperately our electorate needs improved public transport. I draw your attention to a number ofthe more disturbing results:

• 30% of respondents stated that they are forced to use a car to travel to work at least"sometimes" due to the condition of the bus service in the area;

• 80% of respondents stated that they would benefit from the introduction orreinstatement of extra buses to their locality;

• 48% of respondents are 'often' late for work due to overcrowding on buses and busesrunning late according to the schedule;

• 56% of respondents support the introduction or extension of the express bus servicesto the Port Jackson area;

• 74 % of respondents without access to a car state that they rely on buses to their basicshopping. 63% of these people find that using the bus services for this purpose wasproblematic;

• Introduction of a light rail service to the Port Jackson area was supported by anoverwhelming majority of respondents.

I have become totally frustrated by the Government's total refusal to acknowledge the publictransport needs of our electorate.

Unfortunately, it is the NSW Government not I that gets to make the final decision on these issues.However, armed with the survey I intend to continue to put pressure on the Government to improvepublic transport in our electorate. It would assist me if you could continue to provide me withinformation regarding any new difficulties you encounter with public transport.

Thank you again for your interest and support.

Yours sincerely

TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

AN ENVIRONMENT STRATEGY FOR LEICHHARDT

Leichhardt Council is developing a local Environment Strategy to plan a sustainablefuture for our local community. The Environment Strategy outlines policies for theecologically sustainable development of buildings, parks, and streets to improve thequality of our urban and natural environment.

As an open Council, it is important for Council, that the community is involved inthe development of the Environment Strategy. The strategy should reflectcommunity concerns and become an integral part of community planning andactivities to build a better and healthier environment for everybody in Leichhardt.

The objectives for the Environment Strategy have been developed from thecommunity participation workshop for the new town plan held on 9th & 10thOctober 1992. They are to:

- reduce the impact of our local community on the global ecosystem,

improve the quality of our shared resources air, water and soil,

create and maintain a healthy, safe and clean environment for all residents,

improve and maintain the diverse and historic character of the Municipality,

- increase the quantity and quality of open space,

recreate and protect native habitat along the foreshores and creeks,

- plant more trees and generally green the Municipality,

- reduce the impact of traffic on local residents,

- minimise waste and increase recycling.

In August 1992, Council employed an Environment Officer to develop the EnvironmentStrategy for the Municipality of Leichhardt. The Environment Officer's duty is to identifylocal and global environmental issues and formulate policies to solve environmentalproblems and increase the quality of the local environment.

So far, the Environment Officer has developed an outline for the Strategy and drafted aseries of policies for the ecologically sustainable development of the build environment,energy efficient buildings, open space, transport and waste minimisation. Thesepolicies are currently under review by the appropriate Council Committees and Councilstaff.Residents are most welcome to contribute to their further development.

Please feel free to contact the Environment Officer for more information about theEnvironment Strategy.

The Environment Officer can be phoned at the Council offices on: ph 367 90 45

Council's overall visions for environmental policies under the seven key issues are:-

1 BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Council will support and facilitate the creation and maintenance of a healthy, diverse, andenjoyable urban environment providing for environmental sustainability and social equity.

2 OPEN SPACE

Council will develop an accessible open space network providing a variety of recreationalexperiences in a diverse natural environment.

3 NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Council will work towards the protection and rehabilitation of natural ecosystems and theprevention of pollution of our commonly shared natural resources such as air, water and soil.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

Council will develop and maintain a healthy and sustainable environment and aims to protectpeople from adverse health effects caused by pollution and traffic.

5 WASTE

Council's waste management unit will work towards the reduction of waste and make provisionfor material separation and recycling to reuse waste products in the production process.

6 TRANSPORT

Council will work towards reducing car dependency and will contribute to the provision of a betterinfrastructure for public transport, bicycles, pedestrians and innovative forms of environmentallyfriendly transport.

7 ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Council will provide information and advice to the community to raise awareness and knowledgeof environmental issues and encourage participation in environmentally responsible practices.
