Six-month trial for earlier public-place litter collection
A recommendation was made to bring forward litter-collection vehicle start times by 30 to 60 minutes at six locations in Sans Souci, Ramsgate, Hurstville, South Hurstville and Penshurst. Residents are to be notified before the trial, which is pending Council adoption, expected at the November council meeting. The General Manager could revoke the trial if repeated breaches occur.

Taxi rank section proposed for short-term parking
The forum considered converting 16 metres of the existing taxi zone on the southern side of Mashman Avenue, Kingsgrove, to 1/2P parking operating during specified weekday and Saturday hours. The discussion indicated the proposal would provide three new parking spaces, with officers supporting 30-minute parking and possible reconsideration if businesses request it.
