Well the late Barbara Holborow would have had a field day with this one… Not one to hold back, she would have definitely told this petrol station what it can do with its corporate policy of, and I quote, “not displaying any promotional material that does not fit in with the business”. The item in question was the yellow Experience Croydon Park Festival poster. It would be displayed for a total of 15 days. Yet looking around the premises, this is the image they promote their business with instead – take a look. Most likely they have been there for years. Very community minded indeed, wouldn’t you say, Barbara ?! Are you a Mitch Gardner Music fan? You could meet him! He will be performing at Mitch will be performing at the Experience Croydon Park Festival on November 12 at 2pm on the main stage followed by a Meet & Greet. Good Evening All, On behalf of the CPBC/ YC, we joyfully Thank you for this Award. Regional Chamber of Commerce. The year 2000, the two Banks closed in Croydon Park (CP) and within a short time 17 shops shut down CP became a ghost town! The local Printer sent a letter to the remaining businesses and I picked up the phone. We began having many meetings with 3 Councils. The year 2003 CPBC began and the beautification of CP was attracting new and vibrant businesses . Our aim was to put CP on the map, this has been achieved by always involving the Community “Because without the Community you have no Business” as the late and precious Barbara Holborow would always say when I did her hair. We have also lobbied for a Clock, Christmas tree and decorations and lights are still to be installed. In the past 15years the Chamber has put on Seminars for the CPBC Members in the local businesses to enhance them. Progressive dinners with the Beatles walk at the crossing! Fun with music and dancing. 5 Festivals with 2014 the Italianos from MKR saying our big Event “Croydon Park Festival Like No Other”, reached Excellence! Combined with the Festival 2016 we have what we call ” The Fabulous 5″ The Youth Committee who have put on Events such as Movie Nites, Trivia Nites and raised over $10K. Their big Events has been to raise funds for the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) for the sick children of our country $4K. CMRI were so impressed they nominated the CPYC for a prestigious Award from the Burwood Rotary Business and Community Awards and won in 2016! It is very important to acknowledge all the Past and Present Executive and Board including the Youth Committee Members who are not here tonight for all the valuable and tireless hours they put in to keep the CPBC/YC alive today. In 2014 CPBC won their first Regional Winner Chamber of Commerce Award against bigger Chambers, I had just stepped off a plane 6am that morning and the previous few days had a meeting with the Swiss/Italian Chamber of Commerce which I had organised, to learn what they do so I could bring back some points. It was a great comfort to hear how difficult it was for them who are big to raise revenue for their Events. This meant that what we do was sufficient and so we now see how much we have truly achieved over all these years. Thank you and God Bless.

By Marcella Gallace In December 2018, the Croydon Park Youth Committee along with Scouts Australia representatives donated over 100 hundred books to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead. MARCELLA GALLACE Graduate Journalist Gallace Media #adventure Happy new year from the Croydon park business chamber. last Monday night with special guest Tony Burke MP and Sue Burton from the Cooks River Alliance. I was encouraged that over 100 residents who attended the forum care so deeply about the future of the River. I would also like to thank members of the Cooks River Valley Association, the Mudcrabs, the Croydon Park Business Chamber and Cleaner Campsie for all the work they have been doing to improve the River. It is important to continue the dialogue between local residents, community groups, organisations, local government and state and federal members. I appreciate those residents who voiced their experiences, concerns and vision for the River. Many issues were raised throughout the forum including:
Yet the biggest issue raised from both my survey and the forum was the amounts of pollution and rubbish dumped in the River. Many residents are concerned with the levels of plastic pollution in the river including plastic bags. I am pleased that NSW Labor is addressing this issue by committing to banning plastic bags in NSW. One other main contributor to this problem is shopping trolleys that are dumped along the banks or in the River itself. These trolleys are often left indefinitely and not only cause significant safety risks but pollute habitats and block waterways. In response to this issue NSW Labor has recently announced that it will empower councils to immediately impound shopping trolleys that are causing an obstruction or safety risk and increase the maximum penalty from $550 to $2750. The Cooks River should not be a dumping ground for shopping trolleys and this measure will begin to address this. You can read more about Labor’s plan to tackle this issue below: If you would like to fill out a survey or would like to provide more feedback please do not hesitate to email my office at strathfield@parliament.nsw.gov.au Please know that I will continue to work with both federal and local government along with community organisations in order to improve and restore the River.

March 2018 Croydon Park Business Chamber Community update Dear Croydon Park Business Chamber Members and Community Members, Your Chamber is delighted to be able to provide you with an update of ongoing and completed matters which the Chamber has and continues to actively lobby for. Below are many initiatives and outcomes we have been able to achieve in 2016/2017 Financial year. 1. The Croydon Park Festival held in November 2016 was a resounding success and despite the heat on the day, was extremely well attended. 2. A Community QandA and AGM was held on December 5, 2017. We thank the community members who took the time to come along, participate and pose questions and complete the survey. 3. Croydon Park Clock – we now have a welcoming clock on the corner of Beaufort Street, Croydon Park. The CPBC had lobbied for many years for its installation. 4. We now have many Cafes and Restaurants in Croydon Park which have fantastic outdoor seating to enable greater enjoyment and helps to create a Village feel. 5. Our Croydon Park Business Chamber website continues too evolve and we hope to bring you further interesting content and information throughout 2018 and beyond. 6. Jodi McKay, Member of the Legislative Assembly and Member for Strathfield, held a very successful “Pollies in Cafes” session at Caffettiera, on Georges River Road in November 2017. There are several matters the Chamber discussed with Mayor of Burwood, John Faker at our meeting on 13th February 2018 and we intend to hold our elected Burwood, Inner West and Canterbury Council representatives accountable for these and will provide you updates on our website as we progress; 1. Croydon Park Clock – needs completion to include a dedication/ memorial remembering Croydon Park soldiers and others who have supported our community. 2. Cafes and Restaurants in Croydon Park – we are lobbying to extend the 12 months free period offered by Burwood Council to businesses for outdoor seating costs. Our aim is to continue to enhance the Village look and feel we are striving for which will entice people into our neighbourhood. 3. Christmas Tree – a Christmas tree for Croydon Park has been committed by Mayor, John Faker from 2018 onward. A location for this is to be determined as it must comply with OH&S matters. 4. “Movies/Concert or Opera in the Park” – Chamber raised the possibility of an event of this type with Mayor Faker, possibly to be held at Croydon Park (end of Croydon Avenue and Brighton St, Croydon Park). Event management and funding will need to be lobbied for and will involve Burwood, Inner West and Canterbury Councils. 5. Street Lights – we raised the matter of more appropriate illumination which helps to showcase individual businesses. Mayor Faker will follow up on this and we hope then that Canterbury Council will follow. 6. Dirty footpaths and Pidgeon Droppings on bins, awnings and footpaths. Pidgeon droppings may carry lice and are generally a health hazard. Mayor Faker advised an annual clean of the footpaths takes place. We have requested Mayor Faker advise us when this cleaning will next occur as it seems quite some time between cleaning. The Chamber is considering supplying pidgeon spikes to individual business owners when renewing their membership with the Chamber. 7. Murals – We have a number of suitable sites for murals to be painted and, Burwood Council has advised they are interested in supporting Croydon Park as a trial for Mural/s. Chamber is currently sending photos of potential sites for assessment to Burwood Council. 8. Croydon Park Festival – Burwood Mayor, John Faker suggested the Australia Day event, which is usually held at Burwood Park, could be shifted to Croydon Park in 2019 as an alternative event. Burwood Council will review the feasibility of this. 9. Funding Grants – Burwood Mayor, John Faker has agreed he would provide the Chamber Letters of Support to accompany any grants the Chamber applies for. The next round of Grants submissions take place in December 2018 and the CPBC will make applications. 10. Dart Thru Lane – this lane is at the rear of many Croydon Park shops and adjacent to Club Croydon Park. Currently the lane is a No stopping and No parking zone, which makes loading into the shops very difficult. We have requested assistance with either a timed loading zone or business and resident stickers. Mayor Faker has advised the RMS is responsible for this, however, he will raise this with Burwood Council Traffic to discuss with the RMS for options. 11. Seymour Street exit onto Georges River Road (GRR); Chamber has requested this end of Seymour Street be made a one way Left Turn onto GRR, as it poses significant risk to traffic and pedestrians when cars attempt to turn right onto GRR where cars heading toward Croydon Park Public School, do not give way or allow merging right into traffic. Further, Chamber has requested KEEP CLEAR signage be painted on the road at the Seymour Street and Beaufort Street intersections, so that merging traffic onto GGR can do safely and that pedestrians are also safe as traffic approaches the school. 12. CPBC have been a Voice for the local Businesses and Community since 2003 when the Banks shut their doors and has been recognized and awarded; CPBC also has a Youth Committee, who have over the years been involved in many great events , and were nominated by the Children’s Medical Research Institute and won the Prestigious Award from Rotary Club Burwood Business Community 2016.
