MHCG has contacted Landcom, Council, and UWS regarding the overgrown grass along University Drive, starting from William Downes Avenue. Following a recent meeting between Landcom, Council, and UWS, we have been advised by Landcom that UWS has agreed to reinstate University Drive into their maintenance program for the time being. The mowing is expected to take place within the next 1–2 weeks.

This outcome shows that community persistence can deliver positive results.

We encourage residents to use the Snap Send Solve app or lodge issues directly with Council or the appropriate authority for quicker resolution in the future.

* from MHCG - Meeting Minutes* – Landcom & Macarthur Heights Community Group (MHCG)
Date: 17 September 2025, Time: 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM, Microsoft Teams

Attendees
Landcom: Fay, Danyl, Rachel
Macarthur Heights: Huq, Arun, Sumera, Alauddin

*Agenda & Discussion Points*

*1. University Drive – Overgrown Grass*
Landcom confirmed ongoing discussions with UWS and Campbelltown Council regarding University Drive. Both University and Council currently hold differing interpretations concerning the nature strips. Each party will review the matter internally with their respective teams. Landcom will continue discussions and provide updates to MHCG. Concern was also raised regarding overgrown grass along University Drive.

*2. Sports Field Development*
The sports field is scheduled to open in 2026. Final drainage works will be completed towards the end of construction, with the ground’s final form differing upon completion. MHCG requested Landcom to share the design, which has been recorded as an action item.

*3. Amenities Building*
Construction of the amenities building is scheduled to commence in 2026, with estimated completion and opening in 2028. MHCG requested Landcom to share the design, which has been recorded as an action item

*4. Regional Trail – Botanical Garden*
The Macarthur Heights side of the regional trail is expected to be completed by 2026. Council and the Botanic Garden will be responsible for delivering the connecting sections.

*5. Macarthur Garden North (MGN)*

- Roads, super lots, and two parks are expected to be completed by end of 2025, with public access available in 2026.
- Two Development Applications (DA) are currently lodged with Council.
- Super lots will be sold to future developers; one lot adjacent to the basketball courts will be released to market shortly.
- Temporary security camera will be installed around the MGN site.
- Permanent security cameras will be installed within MGN parks, in accordance with Council’s risk assessment.

*6. CCTV*
MHCG sought guidance from Landcom regarding installing CCTV at strategic points along University Drive and Goldsmith Avenue. Landcom advised that Council had conducted a Crime Prevention Assessment with the LAC (Police), which did not support installing cameras in Macarthur Heights but recommended them for Macarthur Gardens North, possibly due to the difference between a more crowded area versus open space. However, this does not prevent us from continuing to pursue Council for the installation of CCTV cameras in the future.

MHCG has raised concerns with Council about the overgrown grass along University Drive, starting from William Downes Avenue. Council advised that the adjacent land next to the footpath belongs to the University, and therefore it is University's responsibility to maintain it.

We also reached out to UWS for clarification but have not yet received a response. Landcom has confirmed that while UWS has maintained the area in recent years as a goodwill gesture, the footpath and nature strip should technically fall under Council’s responsibility.

Landcom will be meeting with both the University and Council this week to resolve the matter. MHCG also has a scheduled meeting with Landcom tomorrow regarding Macarthur Heights and Macarthur Garden North, where this issue will be discussed further.

We will keep the community updated as soon as we receive more information.
