The public exhibition for the designated Development Application, DA2020/0005 has now concluded.  During the exhibition period of 28 days, Council received approximately 5000 submissions from the public.  With the Covid-19 Restriction in place, Council ensured that neighbouring landholders were provided a hard copy of the applicant’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). In addition, all documentation was placed on USB’s and posted to any Hilltops community member who notified Council that they were unable to download or had difficulty accessing the document.

Following relaxation of some of the NSW Government restrictions for COVID-19, there are new changes in the Hilltops Council area. From Friday 15th May Council has reopened parks and playgrounds. However, in order to comply with health and safety requirements it is important to remember the 1.5m social distancing rules. There is to be a maximum of 10 people in a park or playground at any one time. It is also important to practise personal hygiene, wiping down equipment before and after use. It is not possible for Council to clean the equipment after each use; therefore, it is vitally important to carry hand sanitiser and antiseptic wipes with you. Sport, other activities and events are dependent on advice from the State Government.
