As part of Council's 'Connecting Centers Partnership Programme', a pedestrian shelter and associated parking restrictions were recently installed on Spurway Drive just to the south-west of the site. An application for a temporary 18 meter section of "Work Zone 7.00-17.00 Monday-Saturday" on Spurway Drive has been received by Growthbuilt Pty Ltd, which has an approval to build a residential dwelling at no. Spurway Drive has unrestricted parking, the applicant has requested 'Work Zone' restrictions near their driveway on Spurway Drive to facilitate deliveries and construction related activities on this site.
The developer must pay weekly fees for "work zones" on public roads and use of the nature strip area on Spurway Drive. The Committee supports the establishment of 18 meters of temporary restrictions for the '7am to 5pm Monday to Saturday Work Zone' on Spurway Drive, Norwest, as detailed in Schedule 1, for a period of 65 weeks. The Director General is given the power to approve any future request to extend to a 'work zone' up to a maximum of three months after the initial 65 weeks.
The following road closures are in effect for the street parade from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. for the street parade.

LTC RECOMMENDATIONS JULY 2022 - BRAMPTON DRIVE BEAUMONT HILLS – PROPOSED CHANGES TO EXISTING BUS
In the split bays outside no. There are two permanent "bus zones" at 28-32 and 21-25 Brampton Drive. The council received correspondence from a resident for full-time "bus zones" in subdivided bays outside no. 21-25 and 28-32 Brampton Drive, which are to be turned into part-time "bus zones" as they are only used for school services instead of route services.
It is therefore proposed to replace each of the existing full-time 'Buszones' with time-limited ones. This would prevent vehicles from parking within the length of the 'Bus Zone' on the school buses, while still allowing on-street parking outside of the designated times and days. The Committee supports the amendment of existing full-time restrictions in the 'Bus Zone' in Brampton Drive, Beaumont Hills, as detailed in Appendix 1 to the report.
LTC RECOMMENDATION JULY 2022 - GIRRALONG AVENUE, BAULKHAM HILLS – PROPOSED PARKING RESTRICTIONS

At the same time, vehicles are also parked along the south side of Girralong Avenue between Henry Street and the marked pedestrian crossing.
The section of Girralong Avenue between Henry Street and the start of the no parking area (Kiss and Drop Bay) is only 7 meters wide. When vehicles park on the south side of Girralong Avenue on this stretch of road and parents are also queuing for the “Kiss and Drop” bay, the road can become blocked. A consultation was held with affected residents on Girralong Avenue and no objections were received regarding parking restrictions on the north or south sides of Girralong Avenue.
LTC RECOMMENDATION FOR JULY 2022 - DAVEY ROAD, DURAL – PROPOSED ‘GIVE WAY’ SIGN AND LINEMARKING
Davey Road/Langford Road, Dural is a 1.9km long single carriageway rural road which provides a link between Wyoming Road and Derriwong Road. Residents report that vehicles at the intersection of Davey Road do not always give way to vehicles coming from Lancewood Road even though it is a T-intersection. In order to improve the safety and delineation of the intersection and ensure compliance with the Australian Standard, it is recommended that a 'Give way' sign with associated line marking be provided on Davey Road at the intersection of Derriwong and Lancewood Roads (Figure 3 ). ).
The installation of a 'Give Way' sign with associated line marking at the junction of Davey Road, Derriwong Road and Lancewood Road, Dural be approved in accordance with Figure 3 in the report. Mayor – “Most traffic travels along Davey Road and Derriwong Road, with very few cars traveling on Lancewood Road. At this stage, police and TfNSW representatives support the recommendation to install the Give Way control on Davey Road.
REWARD FOR INFORMATION POLICY
A policy that provides a reward for information leading to the conviction of illegal and anti-social behavior on or in our assets acts as both an incentive and a deterrent. The Council first adopted an Information Policy Award in 2011 to reduce incidents of vandalism and malicious damage to Council infrastructure assets by encouraging the community to monitor and report such incidents. Some councils, other than The Hills, were found to have accepted information policy awards.
In the case of NSW Police and Victorian Police, rewards are offered up to $1M depending on the scale/seriousness of the crime, whereas ACT Crimestoppers and other councils, the reward offered is typically $1K. There has been no uptake of the policy since its introduction and it is of course open to the Council to choose to delete the policy. It is recommended that the Council put the policy on display for 28 days and, should no negative comments be received, adopt the information reward policy.
