Topics
Bus stop removals and consultation issues on George Street, Penshurst
Members discussed that U-Go Mobility has taken over the 950 bus service replacing the M91 and that several bus stops on George Street and nearby streets will be removed. Officers said Council learned of the changes from TfNSW at the same time as residents.
Residents may face changes to local bus stop access and service information, and the exchange highlights communication concerns.
Penshurst station area still under broader study
Officers said the Penshurst station study is being split into north and south parts and the wider work is still underway, with some concerns about right-turn restrictions and pedestrian fencing remaining unresolved.
Additional local traffic or pedestrian changes may still be proposed around the station precinct.

Council approved several small grants to local groups and organisations, including Lugarno Progress Association, Dress for Success NSW and ACT, Oatley Rugby Club, Carlton South Public School P&C Association, One Meal It Makes a Difference Inc, Nicholas Giourgis, and the Nepalese Penshurst Committee Incorporated.
