SRL East from Cheltenham to Box Hill will link major employment education and retail destinations in Melbourne’s east and south east The new rail line will reduce travel times and create up to 8000 direct local jobs during construction A new underground station at Burwood will deliver a train line to the doorstep of one of Australia’s biggest universities for thousands of staff and students and also to key destinations across Melbourne A pedestrian overpass will be built across Burwood Highway making the station easy and safe to access and work will be undertaken to revitalise Gardiners Creek adjacent to the station area The existing Sinnott Street Reserve at Burwood is required for the construction of SRL East (Cheltenham to Box Hill) including the Burwood Skyline Drive-in playground and community barbeque facilities will be closed so we can safely build the new underground station at Burwood We understand the value of this reserve to the local community which is why Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) has identified a nearby location next to an existing linear reserve to provide a replacement park with modern recreational amenities The replacement park will serve the community for up to 10 years while we deliver works in the area Gathering feedback from the community helps us to understand what people value most in local public open space areas we asked the community for their ideas for this replacement park including types of play equipment recreational space or amenities such as seating This feedback was captured on the Engage Victoria website through an online survey and interactive map activity we collected feedback from the community and local park user groups through Engage Victoria To support this engagement we provided information on the Burwood Public Open Space consultation via: “I would use this path more once the proposed new park is built” We’d like to thank the community for providing their feedback to help us design this new park Key feedback themes have been identified through assessment of responses to the Engage Victoria survey and interactive map activity responses from local park user groups as well as direct engagement with community members in the direct vicinity a water feature and dog facilities were deemed impractical for a space of this size and also did not meet local council guidelines We’d like to thank the community for participating in the design consultation for the Burwood Public Open Space Your feedback is important and has helped us design and plan this new park shelter and picnic facilities that will be installed near the Lundgren Chain Reserve playground at Highbury Road All feedback summarised in this report has been reviewed and has informed the development of the Burwood Open Space replacement park design we are continuing to engage with the local community including those located in the direct vicinity of the site This next phase of engagement will include distribution of information on the timeline of the park delivery and how any potential impacts will be mitigated during construction This is probably not the page you’re looking for Picture by Peter LorimerTUCKED behind bushland off the Fernleigh Track at Whitebridge sits the largely untouched 19th century former Burwood Colliery Dam The Burwood Colliery Dam was built in the late 1800s in Whitebridge, and in August 2022, Crown Lands asked the community for feedback about its future Crown Lands was investigating removing the dam and rehabilitating the land to a near-natural state aside from some "bodgy" temporary scaffolding across the dam and a set of steep stairs being installed There was a letter to the editor from one of the bird groups that identified so it could be a feature of the track but it's just been ignored more than 60 people went to two drop-in sessions held at Whitebridge High School and told Crown Lands the area was valued for its natural amenity The dam acts as part of the local stormwater system It reduces the concentration and speed of stormwater flows meaning that sediment in stormwater is deposited into the dam Crown Lands has said it is likely the dam will eventually silt up and become swampy land It has previously said "major and costly repairs" would be required to extend the life of dam structures Housing and Infrastructure Crown Lands spokesman said it was undertaking investigations on the dam wall and spillway as well as an environmental assessment of the site "The investigations are to inform options for the future management of the site," he said "No decision has been made on the long-term future of the site "We will consult with the community on any future plans regarding the site at the appropriate times." The temporary walkway and path over the old dam spillway was installed in 2023 which allows access between the Fernleigh Track and Lonus Avenue to Whitebridge High School Mr Buckner wants a bridge installed across the reservoir linking Whitebridge High School with the Fernleigh Track, instead of Lake Macquarie City Council's plans for a path that would run down Waran Road and Kopa Street "This land is sort of superfluous; it's Transport for NSW land it's that whole hillside on the western side of the reservoir gentle approach down to the southern end of the reservoir," he said "This is an area that has so much potential; it's been neglected "It could be a highlight of the Fernleigh Track it could be the jewel in the crown of the Fernleigh Track." A Lake Macquarie council spokesman said it was consulted as a stakeholder on the project it should be responsible for answering questions about the former Burwood Colliery Dam "We have not received any recent updates from Crown Lands about this site," he said. The last record Lake Macquarie council has of a meeting or correspondence with Crown Lands about the site was in the first quarter of 2024.

to serious destination Plenty of it has to do with the 2019 launch of its official Chinatown precinct while council has plans to pedestrianise Burwood Road in the coming years executive manager of place management and communication at Burwood Council Burwood’s appeal can be explained in part by its residents “We have such a multicultural community,” she says citing that over 40 per cent of residents are from an Asian background with more than 70 per cent speaking a language other than English at home and it’s an incredible opportunity for our community to be exposed to and celebrate traditions over a bite to eat.” And as much as Haymarket’s Chinatown should be celebrated Wassef says Burwood offers something different what we think is the unique selling point of Burwood Chinatown is that we have a mix of more anchor but also very hawker-style eateries,” she says “It doesn’t really matter what your budget is it doesn’t matter if you want to walk through or spend a few hours in Burwood Chinatown you kind of feel like there’s something for everyone.” Westfield, 173-5, 100 Burwood Road, Burwood Burwood Chinatown, shop 125A Burwood Road, Burwood (Isan Tum Zaap); shop 3 (Lovin’

On the ground floor, Hello Pot Stew offers phoenix claws (chicken feet) braised to tenderness or crisp fried, along with gelatinous pork trotters hit with chilli and spring onion, while Guo Kui Master serves tandoor-baked flatbreads stuffed with the likes of lamb or preserved vegetable. Out back, there’s cooked-to-order Japanese takoyaki at Go Go Yaki, Korean rice cakes at Siroo, plus night markets offering grilled chicken wings stuffed with sticky rice and Filipino-style pork belly skewers every Thursday to Sunday.

Rivera notes it was the suburb’s vibrancy and energy that encouraged him to launch here, and the kaleidoscopic fit-out is made to match.

Superintendent Christine McDonald said police were still piecing together a timeline of events before the child was found and the cause of death would be determined by the coroner. “The information provided to us suggests that this baby was left inside the vehicle for an extended period of time on a very hot day here in Sydney,” she said, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday night. “Leaving a child in a vehicle at any time can be dangerous. Leaving a child inside a vehicle for an extended period of time can be deadly. Supt McDonald did not confirm whether the man who found the child was the girl’s father but described him as a “direct relative”, adding he had been taken to hospital suffering from shock. “Once (the man) is able to, we will speak with him to obtain more details,” she said. The child’s mother is also “assisting with inquiries”. Supt McDonald said it was impossible to imagine how the parents were feeling, but they were “no doubt, extremely upset”.

Emergency services were called to the complex on Conder Street, Burwood, at 8:47am on Monday. The body of a man, who is yet to be formally identified, was found in the courtyard of the complex and it is possible he jumped from the building, Superintendent Christine McDonald said. Emergency services were called to a unit complex in Burwood. (ABC News) She said in the process of trying to determine how the man ended up in the courtyard, police were directed to a unit where they discovered the body of a woman with fatal stab wounds. Superintendent McDonald said the man and woman are both described as being of Asian appearance in their 20s or 30s. "CCTV footage has a female walking towards the unit, which is why we went there," she said. Police would not disclose the extent of the woman's injuries. The body of the man was found in the courtyard of the building complex. (Supplied) Superintendent McDonald said they were investigating whether they knew each other and a number of possible motives, including domestic violence and murder-suicide. "It's important that we formally identify the two deceased persons, not only for the investigation, but also for their families," she said. "Once we know who they are, we'll contact their next of kin and family to advise of what has occurred." A crime scene has been established at the complex and a second crime scene was at the unit. Police urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers. Investigators were led to the unit where the woman's body was found after seeing her walk towards the apartment on CCTV.
