Chippendale Community Action Plan: highlights
Sustainable Water Management
Proposed innovative rainwater harvesting using swales, water towers, and sculptures — aiming to capture over 4 million litres annually for local use.
Green Infrastructure & Biodiversity
New parklets, footpath gardens, and insect hotels to cool the streets, support native species, and reduce runoff pollution into Blackwattle Bay.
Composting & Zero Food Waste Goal
Strong push to expand local composting from 400 kg to manage over 90 tonnes of food waste, reducing carbon pollution significantly.
Inclusive and Active Public Spaces
Commitment to creative, locally-designed gathering spaces that welcome all ages and backgrounds, supporting shared art, gardening, and tool libraries.
Pedestrian-Friendly Streets
Traffic calming measures, raised crossings, better lighting, and more parklets to improve safety and walkability — reflecting that 59% of households don’t own a car.
Locally Focused Infrastructure Spending
Advocacy to ensure funds from developments like the Telstra site are spent in Chippendale on improvements that benefit the immediate community.
We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the Traditional Custodians of our local area.
