BackgroundWHAT IS ACTIVE OPEN SPACE?There are three tiers of Active Open Space dependent on the size, function and population catchment. These comprise: Regional, District and Neighbourhood.

Regional Open Space (ROS) is land designated and designed to support structured sports, leisure and recreation. The Planning and Development Act 2005 requires land to be reserved in the WA Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) for this purpose. Once the reserved land has been acquired by the State Government (through the Metropolitan Region Improvement Fund) the City of Wanneroo (the City) is then able to progress the planning and development of ROS within its jurisdiction.

ROS is between 20 and 50+ hectares, catering for a minimum population catchment of 50,000 people. Serving the community as a focal point for activity and sport, ROS is capable of vigorous frequent use by large numbers of people. Attracting visitors from across the metropolitan area, its use is not restricted to one local government vicinity.

Conversely, land for District Open Space (DOS) is provided by the City for organized sporting use, informal recreation, children’s play, dog walking, social gatherings and individual activities. Ranging 7 to 20 hectares in size, it caters for a catchment of 25,000 residents. DOS may also serve purposes of conservation and environmental management.

The NeedLACK OF ACTIVE OPEN SPACE There is currently no active Regional Open Space in the Wanneroo Coastal Suburbs (WCS) from Tamala Park to Two Rocks. The only active ROS located in the North-West Sub-Region (Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup), catering for 342,000 residents are:• 65 hectares at Kingsway Regional Sporting

Complex (25km from the southern end of the (WCS); and

• 35 hectares at Arena Joondalup (7km from the southern end of the WCS).

Over 1.5m people a year frequent these two venues. This equates to over 4,100 patrons per day. This number could potentially increase to 6,300 by 2036 (as population growth continues and if no additional facilities are provided). Both venues are currently close to maximum capacity and will not cater for this increase (Arena Joondalup, Annual Report 2012/13 and City of Wanneroo, Facilities Usage Data, 2013).

RAPID POPULATION GROWTH The City is one of the fastest growing local government areas in Western Australia, and indeed the Nation. The majority of our growth is expected to occur in the WCS, with Perth’s next major Strategic Metropolitan Centre at Yanchep currently being developed.

Currently, 82,000 residents live in the WCS. By 2026 the population in these suburbs is forecast to increase to 138,040 (an additional 56,000 people). By 2036 the population in the WCS if forecast to be 190,260 (+ 108,000) (City of Wanneroo, Population Forecasts, id Consulting, 2016).

REGIONAL OPEN SPACE

DISTRICT OPEN SPACE

Based on these population figures, one active ROS facility is currently required in the WCS. Over the next 20 years, 2 additional ROS venues will be needed. By 2070, it is envisaged that up to 7 facilities will be necessary.

EXISTING ACTIVE OPEN SPACE OVER-USAGE CAPACITY Due to the lack of active ROS in the WCS, all existing active local and DOS are being utilised above their maximum capacity.

This continual use means the turf undergoes stress with no ‘recovery’ time. Facilities and infrastructure require continual maintenance and there is no allowance for future population needs.

The BenefitsThe benefits of adequately planning Active Open Space;• Ensures sufficient land is available to

cater for future demand;• Ensures the longevity of existing local

and district active open space in the corridor;

• Maximises co-location and shared use opportunities with future and existing education sites, including efficient management structures, shared use of built amenities, car parking and coordinated traffic management;

• Maximises accessibility and connectivity to public transport and the primary road network; and

• Encourages and supports active lifestyles and improved physical health and wellbeing.

Consequences of Non-Delivery• Local residents, especially families with

young children, will not have access to facilities for active sport and recreation as existing facilities will not be able to cater for the demand;

• The longevity of existing active sport and recreation facilities will be jeopardized due to overuse; and

• Risk of potential negative health effects on the community such as disengagement (particularly youth), isolation and depression which can be commonly seen in outer metropolitan suburbs.

Current Project StatusSince 2007 the City has been working with key stakeholders to deliver the Butler District Open Space (BNDOS), an 11ha site located 43km north of Perth.

This project will see Butler North servicing over 75,000 residents by addressing an unmet demand for playing fields, hard courts, amenities buildings, lighting and passive park infrastructure. It will effectively cater to the ever-increasing popularity of active and passive sporting interests in the growing northern corridor.

The site will comprise two multi-purpose turf playing areas, a sports amenities building and car park. It will also host 16 multi-use hardcourts, equipment storage, toilets and a kiosk. Additionally, a playground, path networks, barbeque facilities and associated passive park infrastructure are included in its design.

The project is scheduled to proceed as follows:• 2016/17: Concept design and consultation

(complete)• 2017/18: Detailed design (underway)• 2018/19: Construction Stage 1• 2019/20: Construction Stage 2

It is anticipated that BNDOS will cater for a large number of community sports including: AFL, cricket, soccer, basketball, softball, athletics, cycling, netball, basketball and tennis. This is also a shared use facility with the Department of Education and will provide much needed sport and recreation amenities to support the existing primary school and future high school.

The project is currently undergoing clearing approvals, with civil design works to commence February 2018.

Construction of one of the ovals has been scheduled for completion in line with the opening of the high school in 2020. The remaining works to be finalised in 2021.

Indicative Budget ImplicationsThe entire project has been costed at$22m, with funding sources coming from the City, State Government and a developer contribution.

What is RequiredFinancial assistance from the Federal Government in the order of $5m, will assist the City in delivering the BNDOS development. This will enable the City to put ratepayer funds towards the planning of future ROS and DOS provision, thereby meeting the needs of a growing and diverse sporting community.

Kingsway Regional Sporting ComplexCurrent Project StatusBACKGROUNDKingsway Regional Sporting Complex (Kingsway) is a regional level active reserve located at 100 Kingsway, Madeley, with a total area of approximately 64.63ha. The reserve is Crown land vested to the City for the purpose of Recreation.

Kingsway services more than 11 different clubs and their members, residents from Madeley, Darch, Landsdale and across the City of Wanneroo. It also accommodates visitors from the greater metropolitan area who choose to access the quality facilities on offer at this regional reserve. The ongoing development of Kingsway will help to cater for the growth in population within the City over the next 10-20 years.

Kingsway is home to a large number of clubs and user groups, including but not limited to:• Kingsway Sportsman’s Cricket Club• Kingsway Football and Sporting Club• Kingsway Junior Football Club• Kingsway Little Athletics Club• Olympic Kingsway Sports Club (Soccer)• Vikings Baseball Club• Wanneroo City Soccer Club• Wanneroo District Cricket Club• Wanneroo Districts Hockey Club• Wanneroo District Netball Association• Wanneroo Districts Rugby Union Club• Wanneroo Giants Baseball Club

There are also a number of smaller affiliate clubs and user groups that use the sportinggrounds for training purposes.

In October 2010, the City of Wanneroo commissioned a review of the KingswayRedevelopment Master Plan. This plan was originally developed in 2003 to prepare an updated list of projects / works

deemed necessary by both the City and the user clubs of the reserve. A significant amount of work has been undertaken over the last 10 years with the City spending in excess of $32.6m on redevelopment projects at Kingsway since 2006. The City is continuing the redevelopment of the reserve through a range of different projects and is seeking funding support from the Federal Government.

Funding to DateKINGSWAY NETBALL CLUBROOMS The State Government has awarded $500,000 to support stage 1 of this project. The City is also seeking a Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) grant for $200,000 which, if successful, will contribute to stage 2 in 2019/20.

The City of Wanneroo developed a concept design for a number of additions and alterations to the building to help address the current and future needs of the facility’s primary user, the Wanneroo District Netball Association (WDNA).

There is a need to acquire land and develop an Alkimos Regional Open Space (AROS) that caters to the local residents and the greater metropolitan area.

Current Project StatusThe Alkimos Eglinton District Structure Plan, endorsed by the City of Wanneroo and the Western Australian Planning Commission, indicates a 50-hectare site for future active ROS is required to the east of the structure plan area. The Northern Coastal Growth Corridor Community Facility Plan, endorsed by the City of Wanneroo, identifies the potential need for a ROS in the area by 2036.

The City has commenced initial planning for the ROS. A number of preferred sites have been considered. Once a preferred site has been identified and land acquisition, zoning and other issues resolved, other planning stages including detailed design and financial modelling will follow.

There is potential for the reserve to house mainstream sports (AFL, soccer, cricket, netball and rugby), and also host sports that are in need of facilities (hockey, softball, baseball or similar).

The City is currently investigating the provision of cycling facilities in the northern corridor, specifically the feasibility of providing a criterion track. This would be a training facility for City cycling clubs and could potentially attract state-wide competition.

This project will redevelop and extend the Kingsway netball clubrooms. WDNA had a total of 839 players participating across their winter and spring competitions during 2017.

The project is scheduled as follows:• 2017/18 – Concept & Detailed Design• 2018/19 – Construction Stage 1• 2019/20 – Construction Stage 2

Project ScopeCHANGE ROOM UPGRADESTo accommodate the growth in participation across the various sports on offer at Kingsway, the City is devising a number of clubroom upgrades to increase the number of change room and storage facilities available. Upgrades include:

• Women’s Change rooms and Storage Facilities - supporting the rise in female sporting participation

• Cricket and Hockey Change rooms and Storage Facilities

• Wanneroo City Soccer Club Change rooms

The Wanneroo City Soccer Club Changerooms Project aims to deliver six new multi-purpose changerooms and a storeroom (as an extension to the existing clubhouse) to accommodate the growth in team numbers for the club over recent years.

Facilities (AFL) - $900,000• Cricket and Hockey Change rooms and

Storage Facilities - $900,000• Wanneroo City Soccer Club Changerooms

- $400,000• Kingsway Aquatic Play Space - $300,000

What Is Required?$6.5 million from the Federal Government will assist the City to improve facilities at the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex.

Alkimos Regional Open Space

Indicative BudgetCost estimations for the provision of Alkimos Regional Open Space (AROS) indicated the facility will cost approximately $102 million excluding land acquisition costs.

Preliminary cost estimates (based on previous experience and projects) for the construction of the site include:• Zone 1 Two football ovals (AFL / Cricket)

and 32 netball courts - $22.9m• Zone 2 Four full soccer fields and athletics

track - $20.5m• Zone 3 Soccer / diamond sports - $18.1m• Zone 4 Four rugby fields and eight touch-

rugby fields - $17.9m• Zone 5 Three baseball / softball diamonds

- $20.6m• Criterion track and amenities building -

$5.9m

What Is Required?$30m from the Federal Government will contribute to the delivery of the Alkimos Regional Open Space facilities following land acquisition.

The City of Wanneroo is asking the State Government to acquire;• Approximately 50 hectares of suitable land

for Alkimos Regional Open Space• Approximately 50 hectares of suitable land

for Yanchep Regional Open Space
