✈️‼️🚦👇🏼

✈️ No planes this weekend? I mean plans? The sold-out Royal Australian Air Force Richmond Airshow is on this Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 September! 40,000 people will be jetting to the Airshow each day, so leave the car at home as traffic will be heavy.

🚗 Driving? You'll need to have pre-purchased a parking ticket online. Allow extra travel time on the roads and carpool with your group. Access to parking sites is via Blacktown Road only. Be aware that special event clearways will be in effect on streets around the airbase so check signage carefully to avoid being towed.

🚆 Extra trains will run to and from Clarendon. Travel on public transport is included with event tickets so take advantage and fly past traffic delays.

🚌 Event shuttle buses will be running between Tallawong Metro Station and Schofields Train Station to help attendees connect with trains to Clarendon. Event buses will also run between Penrith and Clarendon each day.

🚧🌧️ New digital road signs improve flood safety in Hawkesbury 🌧️🚧

Hawkesbury City Council, in partnership with Rotary and Bendigo Bank, has installed solar-powered digital flood warning signs at key flood-prone roads across the region. These signs use water-level sensors to automatically alert drivers when roads become unsafe, helping prevent dangerous rescues and saving lives.
📍 Locations include:
Brennans Dam Road, Vineyard
Tennyson Road, Tennyson
Old East Kurrajong Road, East Kurrajong
Roberts Creek Road, Blaxlands Ridge
⚠️ Reminder: Never drive through floodwaters – it’s not only dangerous for drivers but also for rescuers.
A big thank you to all partners involved in making our community safer! 💙

LOCAL LIFE || Light Up Windsor and Savour the Flavour go biennial

From 2025, Light Up Windsor and Savour the Flavour will move to a biennial format, alternating each year.

This means there will be no Council-funded Christmas tree or installation in Richmond town centre or Windsor Mall in 2025, as Light Up Windsor won’t return until December 2026.

You can still enjoy Savour the Flavour on Saturday 18 October 2025 at Richmond Oval, plus annual favourites like Hawkesbury Fest and Australia Day on the Hawkesbury.

How do you feel about these changes?
