Mayor Matt Gould said, “This is the first budget and operational plan for the new Council and my first as Mayor, so I’m excited to see us deliver these projects for the community and to make sure that Wollondilly continues to be a…
Wollondilly Council is now seeking feedback on its draft annual Operational Plan and Budget, which focuses on the key areas of roads, jobs, customer experience and organisational performance.
The annual Operational Plan is being delivered as part of a one year extension to the current Delivery Program, which will now stretch to 2022 following the impacts of Covid-19 and the decision by the Office of Local Government to add one year to the term of the sitting Councillors.

… Sheehys Creek Road is a Council managed road to the west of Picton and forms the boundary between Oakdale and Lakesland.

a) Major down slope embankment failures resulting in partial loss of the road carriageway;
b) Multiple upslope embankment destabilisations resulting in debris entering the carriageway;

Wollondilly Council is strongly advocating for the NSW State Government to review and reclassify 116km of its roads as state roads, with Nathaniel Smith MP working closely with Council to help make it happen.
Mayor Robert Khan said, “Council is investing more than ever before to fix our 870km road network, with a big focus on our major roads.”
“But many of these heavily used roads really should be managed by the NSW Government, like they are for other Council areas all over the state, giving u…

Wollondilly Council has renewed its calls for the NSW Government to review and reclassify key regional roads as State roads, so it takes over management of these busy main roads and enables Council’s limited funds to be focussed on local road repairs.
Council is investing more money, resources and time than ever before to fix the Shire’s 870km road network following six months of wet weather, storms and flooding. Unfortunately, a large portion of Council’s limited roads budget is continuing to…
