MARRICKVILLE COMMUNITY VISION 2023
In 2023, Marrickville still feels like home. It is a place of culturally diverse, forward thinking, inner city communities and neighbourhoods. It is the land of the Cadigal-Wangal people of the Eora Nation; it has witnessed many changes but continues to be enriched by generations of migrants from all parts of the world.
In 2023, the Marrickville community remains welcoming, proud of its diversity and its history. There is an eclectic mix of cultures bound by a strong sense of social justice and common agreement that all citizens are able to participate in the social, cultural and economic life of the community.
In 2023, businesses are confident and responsive to the needs of the local community. Industrial areas are revitalised and remain an important part of the local community, while high technology, creative and eco enterprises thrive.
In 2023, the Marrickville area is a creative community. It values the people who celebrate, challenge and inspire local identity and sense of place. Innovative urban planning protects the character and heritage of the area. Public spaces are enticing, clean and well maintained, lively and accessible, with a street life that connects the community and welcomes visitors.
In 2023, the environment is healthy and native plants and animals are thriving. The community works together to achieve the vision of swimming in the Cooks River and to minimise its ecological footprint. There are fewer cars, less congestion and a reduction in noise. Public transport is accessible and efficient. Our infrastructure has been rejuvenated, sustainably designed and has improved community well-being and safety.
In 2023, local communities work closely with Council, which is ethical, effective and accountable. Council provides supportive and cooperative leadership and is a strong advocate for the community. It is a responsible partner that works with community organisations, businesses and other levels of government to improve the quality of life in Marrickville.

Tomorrow’s Dulwich Hill is a new way of planning, designing and building streets and public places that puts people and place at the centre.
This Today’s Dulwich Hill booklet includes wide-ranging information about Dulwich Hill today. It is to give people information to participate in Tomorrow’s Dulwich Hill. It has interesting information about local history, who lives in Dulwich Hill and what they think about the area, what Marrickville Council is doing and about community organisations and services.
We are bringing everything together so that tomorrow’s Dulwich Hill reflects the Marrickville Community vision.
Dulwich Hill is in the western area of the Marrickville local government area (LGA).
2 TODAY’S DULWICH HILL
Yesterday’s Dulwich Hill
Dulwich Hill is located on both sides of a ridge. It consists of a number of low hills that once contained a landscape of dense trees sloping down to the Cooks River which was lined with thick tea-tree scrub. The traditional owners of the land, the Cadigal-Wangal of the Eora nation, drew food from the thick timbers and waters of the river. In the early nineteenth century, European occupiers of Dulwich Hill felled these timbers but taking advantage of the rich soils, replaced them with orchards and farmland. Following World War II, the lifting of restrictions on immigration drastically changed the cultural make-up of Dulwich Hill, with Greeks, Italians and Portuguese moving into residential allotments. Today, Dulwich Hill has retained a village atmosphere despite the redevelopment of a number of small industrial sites into large apartment complexes. These complexes are themselves small villages within the suburb of Dulwich Hill.
ABORIGINAL PEOPLE BEFORE 1788
Prior to the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, it is estimated that 1500 Aborigines lived in the Port Jackson/Botany Bay area. The Cadigal and Wangal people had successfully lived along the Cooks River for thousands of years. Over this time, an enormous body of knowledge and special skills were developed to use the life sustaining resources that the Cook’s River and the surrounding lands provided.
The Cadigal people spoke the coastal Eora language and are often referred to as the Eora people. Other clans of the Sydney region who occupied different parts of Eora land included the Wangal, the Cammeraygal, the Cadigal and the Bidjigal. There were two major groups to the north and south of the Eora lands; they were the D’harawal and Darug.
Cadigal history, like the history of many Aboriginal clans, is based on oral traditions handed down by many generations over millennia. However, through the invasion, the Cadigal and Wangal nations were dispersed, dispossessed and alienated from their traditional land.

MAPPING MY DULWICH HILL - LIVING MAPS AND WALKING TOURS OF DULWICH HILL
Council staff ‘walked in the shoes’ of local people on seven one-hour guided walking tours in Dulwich Hill in early February, 2015.
They followed unique maps made by the local residents and business people based on their experiences, memories and senses to create alternative maps of the area.
This map was created by local artist Michelle St Anne

This map was created by 9 year old Hamish who led one of the tours.

16 TODAY’S DULWICH HILL
ACCESS AND INCLUSION
Marrickville Council is committed to diversity and social justice, supporting the position that universal inclusion and access is fundamental to full community participation.
Inclusion means all people can access and participate fully in any activity or service, regardless of age, ability or impairment, gender, religion, sexual preference, or nationality.
Universal inclusion means:
• Being heard and valued
• Participating in social, economic and cultural life
• Connecting and belonging
• Having opportunities to access support when needed
• Having a choice in the things that matter
There are a range of supported programs that deliver social benefits and foster inclusion for everyone.
DISABILITY
The ‘social model’ of disability is the international benchmark for addressing disability matters. It views people as being ‘disabled’ by society, systems and practice rather than by their own bodies. This means that many of the barriers preventing participation result from the environment, communications and societal attitudes. The social model of disability underpins the work and advice of the Marrickville Access Committee that makes decisions based on the principles that:
• Access is best achieved by focusing on the functional mobility, sensory and intellectual needs of the community rather than on types of impairment and disability experienced by individuals within it.
• Access should be considered in terms of the relationship between the environment and the user, and not the restrictions of the user
• The participation needs of the community are best met through providing an inclusive community. In this respect, the relationship between the environment and the whole community is important rather than a focus on the limitations of some of its members.
Social inclusion is about people, fairness, participation and engagement, respecting our community’s desire for “A diverse community that is socially just, educated, safe and healthy.” A sense of belonging is fundamental to health and wellbeing and the ability to thrive in a community.

18 TODAY’S DULWICH HILL
BUSINESS
Dulwich Hill has three distinct business districts:
1. Dulwich Hill Village Centred around the intersection of Marrickville Road and New Canterbury Road. The Village is designated as one of the Urban Centres under Council’s Urban Centres Program. The majority of the businesses are located on these roads with a small number on Seaview Street and Durham Street. In all, around 120 businesses operate in the village providing a complete shopping experience.
2. Wardell Road around Dulwich Hill Station This area is undergoing significant change. Its proximity to the railway station and light rail terminus has resulted in an increase in permitted housing density, and a number of new high rise, mixed- use developments are under way. When complete, the area will have between two and three dozen business operators.
3. New Canterbury Road West New Canterbury Road west is the border with Hurlstone Park, which is part of the Canterbury LGA. This part of Dulwich Hill acts as a neighbourhood shopping strip serving the adjacent residential area to the north. New Canterbury Road is a transport corridor and a number of higher density mixed use developments are underway. The strip has approximately 40 businesses.
DULWICH HILL URBAN CENTRE COMMITTEE
This group of local business people works with Council to promote Dulwich Hill. The committee coordinates events to encourage people to visit and shop in Dulwich Hill, supports local business operators and advises Council about matters important to the business community.
Committee members, who are volunteers, meet regularly. They encourage local business owners/operators and commercial property owners in the Dulwich Hill special rate levy zone to get involved. Members of the Committee are happy to speak with prospective business operators and residents who would like to gain some local knowledge.
DISCOVER DULWICH HILL - THERE’S MORE TO DULWICH HILL
Council’s Urban Centres Program includes the Discover Dulwich Hill place-making project that focuses on marketing the Village Precinct of Dulwich Hill.
The project’s characteristics are:
• Continuous activity
• Promotion of a precinct identity
• Attracting non-locals to undertake multiple visits
• Business differentiation
• Cross referrals between businesses to assist in promoting longer stays in the village
Some of the things Discover Dulwich Hill has been involved in include the fairy lights repair, street bin upgrade, newspaper campaigns, business education, concept of Loftus Square, Christmas garlands, and branded shopping bags promoting the Dulwich Hill Village.

Today’s Dulwich Hill 19
Marrickville Council is working towards a sustainable, connected transport network across the Marrickville LGA. This means it will provide access for everyone to go to the places and events they wish, and be affordable, easy to use and comfortable.
Council’s Integrated Transport, Bicycle and Recreation strategies and Public Domain Strategy (in development) all work to the Marrickville Community Vision 2023 for transport and movement and set out ways for achieving this.
Council is working with the community and NSW government to improve public transport in Dulwich Hill on:
1. Extending the Light Rail to Dulwich Hill (achieved)
2. Completing construction of the GreenWay to link the Cooks River with Iron Cove via Jack Shanahan Park
3. Upgrading Dulwich Hill Station
4. Improving bus connectivity through the area
5. Augmenting local and regional cycle routes to provide for safer and more attractive cycling
6. Improving the public domain for the benefit of everyone.

GREENWAY: COOKS RIVER TO IRON COVE
The GreenWay is a 5km urban green corridor connecting the Parramatta River at Iron Cove to the Cooks River at Earlwood. Growing from a grass-roots community vision, the GreenWay predominantly surrounds the route of the Inner West Light Rail extension. It is now a hub for the community with its bike paths, foreshore walks, Bushcare sites and vegetation, cultural and historic sites, public art, cafes and a range of parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities.
The four GreenWay councils (Marrickville, Ashfield, Canterbury and Leichhardt) continue to actively promote the community’s strong vision for the GreenWay. In July 2014 they signed a 5-year memorandum of understanding to maintain funding and support for the GreenWay Program. The Program covers activities in the following areas:
1. Governance and place management
2. Bushcare and biodiversity management
3. Active transport
4. Community and culture
GREENWAY BUSHCARE VOLUNTEERS
In 2013/14 the Inner West Environment Group’s volunteers worked 410 hours on working bees at the Pigott Street, Waratah Mills and Davis Street Bushcare sites.

Road rulesUnder Australian Road Rules, a bike is considered to be a vehicle and therefore is required to obey road rules, including stopping at red lights and stop signs and giving way to pedestrials and other vehicles when entering a road.
Bike riders can:
Pass other vehicles on the left, except when those vehicles are indicating and turning left
Travel to the front line of traffic on the left hand side of stationary vehicles, except when those vehicles are indicating and turning left
Take up a whole traffic lane
Ride a maximum of two abreast in a lane, so long as they are not more than 1.5 metres apart
Bicycle riders cannot ride on footpaths unless:
the rider is under 12 years old, or
the rider is accompanying a rider under 12 years old, or
the footpath is designated a ‘shared path’ (see ‘Footpaths and shared paths’ below).
When riding a bicycle you are required by law to wear an approved helmet that is securely fitted and fastened.
Footpaths and shared pathsIt is illegal to ride on a footpath in NSW – those ridingillegally can be fined by NSW Police. The onlyexception to this rule applies to children under 12 yearsold or an adult accompanying a child under 12 years old, or when the footpath is designated a ‘shared path’.
Shared paths are for the use of both pedestrians and bike riders. They are designated by an image of a pedestrian and bicycle on the pavement or on a street sign.
On shared paths, pedestrians always have right of way – bike riders should slow down, ring their bell to warn of approach, keep to the left and ride in a safe and courteous manner.
Please keep in mind that not all pedestrians can head a bell or see you approaching on your bike.
Recreational ridesWe've come up with four recreational rides that take in the delights of Marrickville and will enable you to get out and explore on your bike the best the area has to offer.
Most routes start and finish at railway stations, indicated by “S” and “F” symbols on the maps. You can take your bike on the train for free, except during peak travel periods Monday–Friday where you'll need to purchase a child fare ticket for the bike.
This condition doesn't apply to Opal card users, who do not need to pay a separate fare for the bike.
We've also assigned each route a difficulty, based on factors including gradient, the number of vehicles likely to be along the route and the length of the route.

Road rulesUnder Australian Road Rules, a bike is considered to be a vehicle and therefore is required to obey road rules, including stopping at red lights and stop signs and giving way to pedestrials and other vehicles when entering a road.
Bike riders can:
Pass other vehicles on the left, except when those vehicles are indicating and turning left
Travel to the front line of traffic on the left hand side of stationary vehicles, except when those vehicles are indicating and turning left
Take up a whole traffic lane
Ride a maximum of two abreast in a lane, so long as they are not more than 1.5 metres apart
Bicycle riders cannot ride on footpaths unless:
the rider is under 12 years old, or
the rider is accompanying a rider under 12 years old, or
the footpath is designated a ‘shared path’ (see ‘Footpaths and shared paths’ below).
When riding a bicycle you are required by law to wear an approved helmet that is securely fitted and fastened.
Footpaths and shared pathsIt is illegal to ride on a footpath in NSW – those ridingillegally can be fined by NSW Police. The onlyexception to this rule applies to children under 12 yearsold or an adult accompanying a child under 12 years old, or when the footpath is designated a ‘shared path’.
Shared paths are for the use of both pedestrians and bike riders. They are designated by an image of a pedestrian and bicycle on the pavement or on a street sign.

WALKING IN DULWICH HILL
Walking is the number one recreation activity in Dulwich Hill. It is increasing in popularity as a simple, free and easy way to get healthy and meet others. In Dulwich Hill, people walk with family and friends, to shops, as part of their journeys to work, walk the children to school or visit some of the open spaces and points of interest in the suburb.
Dulwich Hill Ramblers
The Dulwich Hill Ramblers meet at 9.30am every Thursday morning at Dulwich Hill Library and walk for 45-60mins on a variety of routes around Dulwich Hill.
VOLUNTEERING
While sport and recreation provides the highest proportion of volunteers across the community, including members of clubs, there are many volunteers that support environmental and socially focused projects and activities too (see P48). The level of volunteering helps show the cohesiveness of Dulwich Hill’s community and how ready people are to get involved. Factors that affect volunteering rates in Dulwich Hill include the population’s age structure, ability to communicate in English, income and education.
In 2011, 15% of people over 15 years old reported doing voluntary work, an increase of 299 people from 2006.

COMMUNITY GARDENS
Marrickville Council encourages citizens to establish their own community gardens. Community gardens are areas of shared land where members of the community come together to grow fresh food and other plants, to learn sustainability principles, relax and make new friends. Gardens can be located on public open space managed by Council, such as public parks, or private lands, including schools (public and private), churches and community centres.
Dulwich Hill has the following community gardens:
• Denison Road - 194 Denison Road, Dulwich Hill
• Gilbert Barry Reserve – 190 Wardell Road, Dulwich Hill
Denison Road Community GardenOpening in August 2013, this community garden was established after the local residents developed a design and management plan for the garden. The members received a Sustainability Small Grant from Council in 2013 which helped pay for material to build the garden beds. With a strong membership, the garden is thriving along with the healthy compost systems. The garden has 12 communal garden beds for members, and public foraging beds with vegetables, herbs and fruit trees at the front of the garden.
Location: 194 Denison Road, Dulwich Hill
Working bees: 1st Saturday of the month at 10am and 3rd Sunday of the month at 2pm

CULTURE
The Marrickville LGA has more than its fair share of artistic and cultural activity and Dulwich Hill is part of the area’s burgeoning creative community.
Creative Arts
Marrickville Council’s Cultural Mapping found that local industries are not only thriving but distinctive, with creative activities taking place in a variety of traditional and unusual places, and often from people’s homes. Creative activity is also growing in the area, with Cultural Mapping pointing to a 106% increase between 1986 and 2006 in employment in a cultural occupation.
In 2011 in Marrickville:
• 8% of workers were employed as arts and cultural workers, compared to 5% in Greater Sydney
• 11% were employed as cultural workers, compared to 5% in Greater Sydney.
Creative activity in Dulwich Hill includes a dance and performing arts studio, playwrights, jewellers, architects and designers.
Street art associated with skate culture has been a feature of the area, with the Westsyde Connection skate shop operating in Dulwich Hill between 2009 and 2013. The Jack Shanahan skate park and Westsyde Connection shop became a hub for young creatives interested in learning about street art. This legacy lives on with the recent opening of a graffiti themed café in Dulwich Hill.
In 2013, Jack Shanahan Reserve was also transformed into a Sydney Festival venue, where Concrete and Bones Sessions by Branch Nebula premiered. Sell out performances showcased diverse young people, dancing, skating and riding bikes and was supported by Marrickville Council.
A major boost for local creative arts comes from the Dulwich High School of Visual Arts and Design which is affiliated with major Sydney arts institutions and houses the Seaview Gallery.

Rain gardens
As a simple and attractive way to filter runoff while landscaping, rain gardens are becoming more popular. Dulwich Hill resident Gale Adams now has a rain garden in her backyard thanks to help from a bunch of volunteers and as a result of taking part in Council’s Water Sensitive Design on Your Property workshops.
COMPOST COLLECTIVE
Marrickville Council’s Compost Collective is open to residents living in flats, units, townhouses and apartments. Six resident groups in Dulwich Hill have joined the Collective.
The groups will:
• Reduce the amount of food waste in the domestic mixed waste bins going to landfill
• Improve people’s skills and confidence to use composting systems through on-site education and skills training
• Lessen the impacts of greenhouse gases on the environment
• Create healthier urban soils
• Promote skills sharing and peer-supported learning

SUSTAINABLE STREETS PROGRAM
The Sustainable Streets program creates a greener community. Verges (nature strips) planted with shrubs, grasses and ground cover provide ecosystem services, and create more liveable places. Residents are encouraged to take ownership of the verges outside their homes and to work with neighbours to convert the whole street to gardens. There are currently 38 verge gardens in Dulwich Hill.

Wilga Avenue
One of the first and most well known sustainable streets in the Marrickville LGA is Wilga Avenue in Dulwich Hill. Wilga Avenue’s residents won Origin Energy’s Sustainability Drive competition in 2011 by replacing their traditional nature strips with community gardens. Each family looks after the garden on the verge outside their home. Neighbours share their fruit, vegetables and flowers and use rainwater for irrigation and chicken manure from their backyards for fertiliser. The gardens have connected them with the land and each other, setting an example for other neighbourhoods.

BIODIVERSITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Most of Dulwich Hill is identified in Council’s LEP 2011 as a protection zone for the endangered Long-nosed Bandicoot population and as a wildlife corridor to enhance vegetation. This is taken into consideration when assessing development in the area. Both the ‘Wildlife Corridor’ and ‘Bandicoot Protection Zone’ closely follow the light rail through Dulwich Hill and up into Lewisham and Petersham, which reflects the value of the GreenWay as both a transport and biodiversity corridor in the heavily urbanised environment.
Find out more at www.greenway.org.au or refer to p40 for more information on biodiversity in Dulwich Hill.
FLOODING
Dulwich Hill covers parts of five subcatchments (see map p38) including Hawthorne Canal, Tennyson Street, and small parts of Malakoff Street, Malakoff Tunnel and Riverside Crescent subcatchments.
Flooding in Dulwich Hill is generally focused around 4 major ‘overland flow paths’:
1. One beginning from the low point in Beach Road through to Kintore Street and Dulwich Hill Public School, down the light rail corridor, under Jack Shanahan Park and through the low points in Ewart, Balfour and Tennyson Streets before discharging to the Cooks River
2. One starting in Ashfield and flowing between Elizabeth Avenue and Cobar Streets, and across Arlington Reserve to the light rail corridor
3. One beginning in Ashfield and flowing between Hampstead Road and Maddock Street, across Windsor Road to the light rail corridor
4. Flow path along the Hawthorne Canal, which generally follows the route of the light rail and adjacent areas before eventually discharging to Iron Cove.
The lower parts of the Tennyson Street Subcatchment sometimes flood from the Cooks River.
The Hawthorne Canal, Malakoff Street and Malakoff Tunnel subcatchments have detailed flood studies. A flood study for Tennyson Street and Riverside Crescent subcatchments will be done by 2019.

URBAN PLANNING
URBAN CONSOLIDATION
The rapid population growth in NSW is causing higher urban density, particularly in the Sydney Metropolitan Area, including Dulwich Hill. The NSW State Government is encouraging higher density development near major transport corridors and interchanges to provide housing for the increasing population because this links people to employment areas and decreases the number of cars and traffic congestion potentially caused by additional residents. Dulwich Hill is a target of this density and growth increase due to its relatively good public transport. Dulwich Hill Station is now a major interchange between transport nodes with the Light Rail corridor meeting the heavy rail here.
PLANNING PRECINCTS
Precinct plans are developed to preserve and identify the desired character of specific areas. There are nine planning precincts in Dulwich Hill.
1. Hoskins Park (11)
2. Dulwich Hill – the key commercial precinct in Dulwich Hill (38)
3. Dulwich Hill North (10)
4. Marrickville and Morton Park (12)
5. Abergeldie Estate (16)
6. New Canterbury Road West (17)

The Public Domain Strategy follows these four principles:
Reveal the place (Place-making)
Be green and environmentally resilient (Sustainability)
Make it easier to get around (Connectivity)
Making places for life
(Liveability)
PUBLIC DOMAIN
Marrickville LGA’s public domain is made up of streets, public spaces, plazas and centres.
Council has been working with the community to develop the Marrickville Public Domain Strategy. The aim is to create an overall strategy and detailed plans for some of the village centres in the Marrickville LGA and for laneways. This long-term strategy recognises the diverse character of Marrickville’s public domain and the role it plays in place-making, contributing to quality of life, and the benefits it makes in sustaining a healthy and socially just community.
The Strategy outlines the improvements needed for a safer, more comfortable and attractive walking and cycling environment that will encourage people to actively enjoy Marrickville’s public spaces, and facilitate an active transport network.

STREETSCAPES IN DULWICH HILL
For many decades, street design in Australia has focused on traffic. Road layouts, dimensions and design have given precedence to traffic, while other roles of the street have been sidelined. Increasingly around the world, new streets are being designed to prioritise other forms of movement (e.g. pedestrians and cyclists) and to improve urban design within streetscapes.
Streetscapes represent the first and second most important recreation infrastructure (Recreation Needs Study, 2013), and are where community, services and infrastructure come together. They are the:
• most accessible public spaces in urban areas
• primary transportation network in our cities (conveying pedestrians, cyclists, private and public vehicle traffic)
• main conduits for services infrastructure in urban areas (including water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, energy, and communications)
They also include significant green infrastructure, particularly street trees.
In suburbs like Dulwich Hill, small-scale retrofits (e.g. through local area traffic management) have been made to adjust the form and function of streets. However there is potential for more substantial changes to be made. Key issues are:
• the width of the streetscape dedicated to vehicles (the roadway width)
• the scale and quality of pedestrian facilities including footpaths
• opportunities for increasing green infrastructure

Green infrastructure includes trees, verges, rain gardens and green roofs and walls. It improves microclimate and local iodiversity and cleans water runoff providing ecosystem services.
34 TODAY’S DULWICH HILL
Streetscape design has a significant influence on the character and amenity of neighbourhoods and the creation of ‘place.’ Information about roads and footpaths will help identify specific opportunities on particular streets to change roadway and footpaths to reduce paved areas and increase green infrastructure, such verge gardens and rain gardens, and in streetscapes.
Streetscapes represent approximately 66% of the public land within Dulwich Hill and 80% of the land under Council’s care and control.

A CHANGING CLIMATE – ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION
Adaptation is to make changes to the urban landscape to reduce the impacts of changes in climate.
Mitigation is to prevent or reduce greenhouse gas emissions to slow the rate of climate change from human activity.
The importance of minimising and preparing for the probable impacts of the changing climate are acknowledged in the Our Place, Our Vision 2023 - Marrickville Community Strategic Plan.
The key climate change risks for the Marrickville local government area are:
• Extreme weather – more frequent storms
• Heatwaves - more frequent extreme heat
• Increased temperatures - increasing maintenance and electricity costs
• Sea level rise – inundation in low-lying areas
• General climate change (from awareness to changing rainfall patterns)
Council is committed to managing and minimising the impacts on the community and natural environment from these risks and to reducing its own emissions by 25% by 2020.
Current plans and measures in place to reduce the impacts of these events on human health, biodiversity, open space and property include:
• Green infrastructure – such as rain gardens, Sustainable Streets verge plantings, street trees
• Flood management plans and works
• Development Control Plan (DCP) amendments – updating flood maps, water sensitive urban design, green roofs and walls, and energy efficiency
• Place planning approach – awareness, knowledge and planning in the local context

WHO IS MORE VULNERABLE TO HEATWAVES
The things that most affect how vulnerable people are to heat are:
• their age group
• exposure to heat,
• closeness to green open space
• type of housing.
Generally, populations more vulnerable to heat include the aged, very young, people with chronic illness or disability, people living alone, and those in higher density areas.
Children
Places that frequently have a number of young children include:
• The Deborah Little Early Learning Centre
• Five Family Day Care services throughout the suburb (37 children between them)
• Dulwich Hill Public School (primary)
• St Paul’s Primary School

WATER SENSITIVE DULWICH HILL
Marrickville Council is working to create a ‘water-sensitive community’ that:
• Supplies water from within its catchment
• Provides green infrastructure to support ecosystem services
• Participates in making plans, designs, and decisions that are water-sensitive
The way Council is achieving this is outlined in the Strategy for a Water Sensitive Community 2012-2021 that includes four strategies for Council and the community with measurable targets for Council. A water-sensitive community will be well-equipped to deal with changes in climate and urban density, keeping Dulwich Hill liveable into the future.

DULWICH HILL SUBCATCHMENTS
Dulwich Hill falls within two major catchments. New Canterbury Road follows a ridgeline which divides the suburb into the following subcatchments:
• The Hawthorne Canal - 102 ha, drains to Sydney Harbour.
• The 105 ha to the south-east of New Canterbury Road drains to the Cooks River and has 4 subcatchments:
– Tennyson Street – the largest with 71ha
– Malakoff Street - 20ha
– Malakoff Tunnel - 10ha
– Riverside Crescent - 5ha
The Tennyson Street Subcatchment Management Plan (2009)
includes a community vision with goals and actions with on-ground works to achieve the vision. The vision includes people swimming and fishing in the Cooks River in 2050.
The Tennyson Street Rain Garden on Marrickville golf course built in 2011 resulted from this plan.
Find out more at www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/en/environment/in-your-community/water/our-urban-catchments/tennyson-street. Refer to p31 for information on flooding.
WATER BALANCE
The water balance (right) clearly shows that most drinking quality water in Dulwich Hill is not used for drinking. There are clear opportunities to use rainwater and stormwater that will help reduce pollution from runoff going to the Cooks and Parramatta rivers and wastewater going into the sea.
The water balance is strongly influenced by urban development:
• Due to the large areas covered by impervious surfaces (such as roads, roofs and paved areas), most of the rainfall (75%) ends up as stormwater runoff. Only 25% is captured in the catchment as infiltration or evapotranspiration.
• The potable (drinking quality) water bought into Dulwich Hill by the Sydney Water mains supply is the same amount as 35% of the average annual rainfall.
• About 83% of all drinking quality water is converted into wastewater, meaning large quantities of wastewater leave Dulwich Hill via the sewer system.
Dulwich Hill is in 2 main subcatchments and 3 smaller ones

BIODIVERSITY
Biodiversity is the variety of all living things
For thousands of years before European colonisation, the local Cadigal and Wangal peoples lived with a diverse range of landscapes, from tidal mudflats and freshwater swamps to sandstone heath outcrops and ridge-top forests. Some traces of these landscapes can still be seen in Dulwich Hill today and, along with efforts to enhance these landscapes, they continue to provide habitat for a surprising number of different plants and animals.
Marrickville Council is committed to looking after local biodiversity through the Biodiversity Strategy, which has actions for the next 10 years to meet the challenges of managing urban biodiversity.
Find out more at www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/en/environment/ in-your-community/biodiversity/ or refer to p31 for environmental protection zones.

STREET TREES
Marrickville Council recognises the collective ecological, environmental, economic, cultural and social contributions of Marrickville’s street trees.
The principle aim of the Urban Forest Strategy (2012) and Street Tree Master Plan (2014) is to increase the urban tree canopy through sustainable new and replacement tree plantings and maintain street trees throughout the local area. Find out more at www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/en/environment/in-your-community/tree-management/street-tree-master-plan
Dulwich Hill has 3953 street trees, 16% of the street trees in the Marrickville LGA. Two street tree precincts, Dulwich Hill East and Dulwich Hill West, have been identified where the STMP objectives are to:
• Enhance the streetscape with street trees of appropriate scale and form.
• Respect the established and desirable street tree characters.
• Reinforce the residential character through a mix of deciduous and evergreen tree planting that respond to the generous street width and spacious building setbacks.
• Maintain and provide plantings that are sympathetic to the heritage values of the Dulwich Hill area.
• Take advantage of the wide road reserves and identify further in-road planting opportunities.
• Maintain and provide plantings that contribute to the continuation and expansion of identified wildlife corridors (the GreenWay) and native planting corridors.
Dulwich Hill West
This area is well-treed, with most trees (71%) rated as in a good condition. In recent years, planting new trees has led to more young trees (16%) and semi-mature trees (27%) to complement the mature trees (57%).
The area contains a good number of street trees, however, some areas have trees that are too small for the street.
Dulwich Hill East
Dulwich Hill East is quite well-treed, having high proportion of mature street trees (76%), with a relatively low proportion of semi-mature (12%) and young trees (5%). Callistemon viminalis (Bottlebrush) is the dominant species across the precinct comprising 14% of the species mix. Generally, streets are wider than many of the other LGA precincts and houses are typically bigger and on larger lots than some of the older neighbouring suburbs such as Petersham, and the setback distance, from the dwelling to the front boundary is generally greater than those in areas such as Newtown and Camperdown. The in-road avenue plantings along Canonbury Grove and Ness Avenue make a strong contribution to the heritage character of the area.

RETHINK WASTE
Council is responsible for managing all waste materials generated from the residential sector. Commercial, industrial and construction waste is the responsibility of the individual businesses. In 2013/14 Council developed a new strategy for managing waste – Rethink Waste Strategic Plan.
NEW DIRECTION
The Strategic Plan uses the waste hierarchy which suggests more time and effort should be spent on avoidance reuse and recycling. Currently as a society, we spend the most on disposal, 65% of Council resources ($ and staff) was spent in this area in 2011/2012, with less than 1% spent on reuse.
In 2011/2012:
• 65% of all Council resources (financial and staff) was allocated to the disposal end of the waste hierarchy.
• 63% of materials from residential and Council activities went to landfill
• 37% was diverted through recycling and greenwaste services
The Rethink Waste Strategic Plan has four areas to move Marrickville towards becoming a community which is rethinking its relationship with waste:
1. Empower the community to embrace avoidance, reuse and recycling
2. Eliminate the concept of organic waste
3. Establish a mainstream reuse culture
4. Embed responsiveness into Council policy and services
Two big challenges within the Strategic Plan are to:
• Increase avoidance and reuse of materials
• Halve the amount of organic (food and garden) material going to landfill
CURRENT PERFORMANCE
In the baseline year of 2011/2012, 63% of materials from residences and Council activities was sent to landfill and 37% was being diverted through recycling and greenwaste services.
Find out more at www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/en/environment/recycling-and-waste/rethink-waste/
The Rethink Waste Strategic Plan shifts current waste and resource management thinking and action to a sustainable, responsive model that focuses on avoidance and reduced consumption, reuse and recycling.
