Blacktown City Council Public Transport Forum Number 41

Meeting was opened by Richard Campbell, new Manager for  Access Transport for Blacktown City Council, who says Council is conscious with  demographic expansion between Blacktown to Mount Druitt and is working on behalf of Council for making sure the integration and  between all public transport stake holders ensure that proper public transport  is provide with support within our Local Government Area.

Next guest was newly elected Councillor Chris Quilkey (on behalf of the Mayor), has been handing out flyers at train stations within Ward 1, was a member of a Transport Union and is an Owner of a taxi. He would like to see smooth operations with public transport and for further infrastructure and have taxis on the agenda. 

With a population of 350,000 population and 169 languages with Blacktown Local Government Area 77% use private cars, 4 percent  buses, 4 percent trains and their is no figures on taxis. In relation to train and buses patronage, we are below the Sydney average. This may be due to lack of car park facilities, limited Public Transport services servicing  required distances, lack of  disability services at Root Hill, Doonside and Toongabbie train stations. Our Local Government area has a population larger than Tasmania and yet they have 12 elected Federal Senators.

Then, there was guest speaker, Richard West from NSW Transport - North West Transport Sydney Metro 
Click here for details

In relation to the Northwest rail link with ends in the only trans station of  Blacktown Local Government area of Cudgegong Train Station, still under construction and will extend to new trains stations at Victoria Cross, Barangaroo and  Waterloo, continuing on to Bankstown Train Station.

The news was Cudgegong train station was nearly completed and Rouse hill to have a temporary commuter Car Park and Kellyville (elevated train station to have 1360 commuter car parks spaces).

This is where we seem to be lacking in Mount Druitt, with car park spaces for commuters - we have 220 car spaces at the actual Mount Druitt Commuter Car Park and 150  car spaces alongside mount Druitt train station in North Parade. That is 370 car spaces.

Although, in the well prepared showcase from Mr. West, there was no discussion on  taxi  ranks and   was questioned  on ensuring enough spacing for  mobility taxis enabling enough space  for drop and pick up points (as raised by a member or two of the audience).

I raised questions of why not spend funds on duplicating the dual rail carriageway lines from St Marys to Emu Plains, thus allowing more rail traffic to flow through and also duplicate  the single rail carriageway line between Schofields to Riverstone and I would even suggest further right through to Richmond. I also asked questions on  the route using North West Rail Link via Schofields, Ropes Crossing and Through St Marys to the new Western Sydney International Airport. I really got no positive feed back on this topic, it seemed to fly over their head. He was only interest in this  North West Sydney Metro. 

Questions were  raised about disability car spaces - and he advise 3% of car spaces is  being compliant.

Then we had next guest Andrew Degen, from MSW Transport on  NSW Direct Access Program for train stations/commuter car parks upgrades. Since 2011 NSW Government has allocated $770M for Sydney Train s from 2001 for 4 years and since 2015 $890M has been allocated for the  next 4 years.

 Station upgrades are prioritised by demographics and patronage  figures:  10 new  train station interchanges, 4 new commuter car parks with 1200 car spots with bike sheds.

With commuter car parks they look at traffic flows around the area and look at seeing why growth is in  free commuter car park?  Instead of shoppers using free commuter car park whilst shopping and not using any form of public transport, when only commuters should be using it. Once are free commuter car parks are built, after one week they find they find they are fully utilised. Doonside train station upgrade is in the NSW Transport Ministers Office for approval. Rooty Hill has already been approved and in Mount Druitt Bike sheds have been approved.

Mount Druitt Commuter Car Park

Councillor Quilkey then asked of a brilliant suggestion, 'If there are issues with shoppers parking at Free Commuter Car Park, then why aren't boom gates placed and the Opal Card is used for entry and departing Commuter Car Parks?' It was advised it is a good suggestion.

I have a great feeling that Transport for NSW are looking at doing this and  they cannot divulge this to us, at this stage.  Mount Druitt Commuter  Car park caters for 220 car spaces and alongside the  North Parade, Mount Druitt there are 150  commuter car park spaces. Alongside North Parade Mount Druitt, the Commuter Car Park spaces are used up  up to about 6.30am. I also believe that from a Mount Druitt Sydney Trains spokesperson that they have checked the Commuter Car Park in Mount Druitt and found people working at Centrelink, Mount Druitt  parking there and they can't stop them.

The Opal Card used at boom gate idea, will prevent  people abusing the commuter car park. Maybe if it is found that the car parked in the commuter park, doesn't used any form of public transport, then  parking fees would be charged.

Last speaker was Brendan from  NSW for Transport Buses claims that they are in line in using the  NSW Transport Long Term Master Plan 2030 and Blacktown Integrated Transport Master Plan, looking to provide bus services in growth areas.  Rapid bus and feeder programs will alleviate bus congestion, enable to catch other buses and trains.

In  NSW Bus Region 1 since 2011 - 30 new buses services and over 2,000 new bus trips per week. Enhance buses services are 611 Blacktown to Macquarie Park, 700, 740, 751, 752 & 774.

He also announced minor bus services changes on 749, 750,751,754,756, 758 & 771.

Services must the needs of community through customer feed back, patronage data, NSW Transport Data, land use planning, roads suitability, timing  considerations, finally available funds and resources.

Comments and questions I raised, were to  agree with Councillor Quilkey with using Opal Card for entrance and exit of Commuter  Car Parks.  

Questioned why Maps have been taken out of  Bus Time Tables at Mount Druitt Bus Interchange time tables?  We do have people coming to the area and they may not know which way the route(s) are going.

Asked about the Rooty Hill Station upgrade wasn't mentioned - it was announced by NSW Government before and also asked of the the upgrade of Mount Druitt Train Station as it needs to be widened to cater for peak times where it takes more than 10 minutes to reach barriers at present.

There was talk about we need more car spaces, I actually stated that the issue is not more commuter car spaces, I stated that NSW for Transport should promoted more  bus service and a higher frequency of bus services and you will will not need commuter car parks.  With that I suggested a promotion of  catch buses, will actually make commuters leaves cars at home. 

This is important when in Mount Druitt we are having car parking issues as previously mentioned in previous posts and now we have  370 free commuter car parking spaces - not all used by commuters and in Westfield, they have had  commuters using  free parking in their car park.

It was also mentioned that no maps on  new bus time tables  stands at Mount Druitt  Bus Interchnage, as previously supplied.

Residents of Colebee were complaining about nearest bus stop not being 400metres for them is 750 metres and they have to walk to Dean Park to get to better service - about 1km walk.

There will be documented and noted and seen by all public transport stake holders and hopefully, they will one day listen and make these important changes.

I can also see that after the meeting the new Manager at Blacktown City Council agrees with myself with the duplication of lines from Penrith to Emu Plains. When you get one person agree in authority, that makes it that much easier to promote.

Another Few Wins For Sydney Alliance......For Asylum Seekers

As a former member of Sydney Alliance, it is please to announce some  of their winning issues, especially is asylum seekers:  concessional  pubic transport fares and access education at TAFE for free.

Now, I know a few of you may be saying what has this got to do with you, but we all  have come from different places around the world. Even my parents left their own individual countries after the second world war. Arrived in Australia legally, met in Sydney, raised a small family and owned their own home. They didn't face discrimination in education or of any other sorts but I do remember my mother going to night 'English' classes and I don't think they were free.  

So this is a good win for new Australians, coming illegally into our country from worn-torn countries, possibly starving  and lost families.  In Mount Druitt, I have met a former asylum seeker and was given  Australian residence. So, these people need to know what our all our governments, what they are doing for them.

Another Insipired Community Member - This Time A 'whyilovemountdruitt Face Book Member'

I mentioned about inspiring or making people feel positive of life and moving on with happy feelings. To me, it is simple to do - to other more easier and some others not easy to do. If I can make one person happy, then that person can make someone else happy, the ripple effect occurs.

 So, a  lady member  from 'whyilovemountdruitt' was handed one of my information slips on the website, joined our Face Book group, was not a  particularily a Face Book social media person but has found the 'whyilovemountdruitt' Face Book Group Page, really 'Impressive and informative'. This was from a former journalist - what a comment! Fantastic!

From meeting her today, she  told me how one information slip  made her join not only our Face Book Group but my old  community group, 'Mount Druitt Commuters Improvement Group In'. Wow - did I do that? I mean - I did that. I inspired her to do that - incredible!

So, please note the power of words wins, whether it is written or just spoken. 
 

 

Saving Someone's Life - Rachel - Face Book Friend

Sometimes, you don't know  when and how you can save people's life with mental and health issues. They can be emotionally distressed or they they may not show and  come out to you and trust you  with what is worrying them or making them feel sad or depressed.

I have written, spoken and touched on this before on different past posts and when a person come to you with this, they are expecting answers and solutions. This may be difficult to answer them but we are not here to answer - we are here to support them: give them positive  details of life,  set positive goals and offer the best support we can, yet there are times they may need further assistance and the best this is to refer them to the following as Rachel a local riend of Face Book did it:

Bidwill Shops - NO Shops After Many, Many Years - Ed Husic - Member for Chifley

White Bidwill is crying for shops, it is amazing that they have the shopping area has the capacity to have shops but after manay years of requests, there are no shops other than a hotel.

So that local community members do not have to travel that far to do shop, it is imperative that something is done by any stake holders to ensure this is  fixed up. That is providing essential local shops, providing better access to the community.

Here, Federal Member for Chifley, Ed Husic talk about Bidwill in a video and  highlights this main issue Click here for video .

Willmot Community Morning Tea 29/11/2016 - Willmot Community Group Face Book Page

Here is a great idea for the Willmot community and surrounds. A bit of a get together and community gathering. Have a chat and get to know others:

Rooty Hill Shops (North) Would Like To 'Flag' And Promote Their Business.

After speaking to a  small business owner the other day, it appears that Blacktown City Council's flagpoles on the main street of Rooty Hill (North) are vacant throughout the year.

At present, it is showcasing the cause of 'White Ribbon Day', which is a passionate thing that  our area doesn't want to have increased - violence against women.

So, the times it is vacant, some business wouldn't mind paying for  their Business Flags that will promote their business and bring customers to their front door. This is especially, in a time  of being hard times for small business.

I support the promotion of small business on poles when Council is not promoting messages throughout the community and is a small fundraiser for  them as well. It is a good way to care of local businesses.
