7 GET THE SITE RIGHT - JOINT INITIATIVE ENFORCING SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL
The Parramatta River Catchment Group under the Parramatta Swimmable 2025 campaign, have been working to initiate the strategic plan to make Parramatta River swimmable again. On Tuesday 18 October, the City of Ryde and NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) joined with eight other local councils for a joint compliance blitz on soil erosion and sediment control at construction sites along the Parramatta River. The blitz was part of the Parramatta River Catchment Group’s ‘Get the Site Right’ initiative, highlighting the important role that developers and building sites play in keeping the river clean and healthy towards making it swimmable again by 2025 and the major environmental threat it poses if not properly managed. A total of 156 sites were inspected across the Parramatta River catchment, including 26 sites within Ryde. This was a very successful collaborative effort with Council’s Rangers, Building Compliance and Environmental Health units. The blitz discovered that almost half (47%) of sites inspected were not being managed adequately. Offences ranged from no controls in place at all and unprotected dirt stockpiles in locations where they could be washed away, to minor offences such as ruptured sediment bags and inadequate sweeping of roads and driveways. Council staff are now following up with investigation of the non-compliant sites. This is an excellent example of City of Ryde collaborative efforts in protecting the environment and waterways.
