Explanatory note:

The Colonel Light Gardens Conservation Management Plan (The Plan) is not a statutory document. The Plan is a guide for the management and development of public land within Colonel Light Gardens and complements the State Heritage Area (Colonel Light Gardens) Zone which guides “development” as defined by the Development Act.

The Plan provides a framework for the Council in undertaking and guiding maintenance work and new projects within Colonel Light Gardens. The Plan does not in itself set any priorities in terms of the allocation of resources. Neither does it prioritise works to be undertaken as described in the Plan, nor does it infer any particular priorities in the context of the Council budget as a whole. In the absence of any decision of Council to the contrary, or any additional source of funding being made available, the budget will not allocate additional funds to the implementation of the Plan, above the level of funds normally set aside for expenditure in Colonel Light Gardens.

2 hIstoRY of CoLoneL LIght gARDens

2.1 A hIstoRY of MItChAMThe land that became the suburb of Colonel Light Gardens, in the heart of what is now the City of Mitcham, lay largely undeveloped until the early twentieth century. Development in Mitcham followed a typical pattern of the establishment of settlement in Adelaide. Initially, from the 1840s, large estates were established with the beginnings of grand houses built at the core of the estates. A number of small villages were also established at this time including Mitcham and St Marys as well as agricultural settlements in the surrounding hinterland. During the 1850s to the 1880s, the intensification of the agricultural or horticultural use of the area increased. This was aided by an improved road network. Improved roads and transport methods motivated a suburban expansion which occurred in Mitcham in the period from 1884 to 1914. During this time, many of the inner ring suburbs of Adelaide were developed and houses built upon the allotments. The period that followed, from 1914 to 1927, marked the explosion in suburban development, a time when the appearance of the Adelaide Plains was changed forever. During this period some of the large estates that had remained intact to this time, were acquired by private or government developers, schools and other institutions. The creation of the suburb of Colonel Light Gardens occurred during this period.

2.2 eARLY hIstoRY of CoLoneL LIght gARDensThe section of the suburb of Colonel Light Gardens east of Goodwood Road was originally ‘Grange Farm’, a 300 acre farm owned by W T Mortlock. Mortlock’s property was delineated by Springbank, Goodwood and Grange Roads with another boundary running from east of the intersection of Sussex Terrace and Grange Road south to Springbank Road. The South Australian Government acquired the farm on 3 June 1915 from the trustees of the estate of W T Mortlock who died in 1913. Although the land was bought with the intention of constructing a garden suburb, World War 1 interrupted plans and it was initially used as a military training camp and embarkation depot.

After the War, the Garden Suburb Act was passed (in 1919), to allow for the creation of such a suburb. Work began and was aided by increasing pressure for the construction of more houses and the provision of housing loans to low-income earners through the State Bank of South Australia.

South Australians had been introduced to garden city ideals, which had emerged in England at the start of the 20th century. This was principally through the efforts of a town planning advocate and garden city enthusiast, New Zealander Charles Reade, in a series of lectures given during an official tour during World War 1.

Colonel Light Gardens developed from the mid-1920s and by the late-1920s was virtually complete. In 1920, a separate Municipality of Colonel Light Gardens was formed which existed until 1975 when the City of Mitcham resumed control.

2.3 hIstoRY of the CReAtIon of the gARDen sUBURBColonel Light Gardens was an unusual animal at the time of its development; a State Government sponsored garden city development when most developments

�



were usually private ventures. The suburb came into being for a specific reason, “to lay out a model suburb on the latest and most approved methods of subdivision.”1 Charles Reade, an enthusiastic supporter of the garden city idea was employed by the South Australian Government to design the State’s first model garden suburb. He commenced work in South Australia as the Government’s Town Planning Adviser in April 1916 and continued in that position until 1918 when he was appointed Government Town Planner.

In 1917 Reade began preparing schematic designs for what was becoming known as the Mitcham Garden Suburb. The suburb was planned to have a radically different appearance to a typical suburb of the time with buildings set in a planned environment; planned locations for public buildings; and an abundance of parks, gardens and wide verges set beside curved roads, rather than the usual grid.

In keeping with garden city principles, Reade designed the Mitcham Garden Suburb as a low-density, self-contained residential environment that catered for many residents’ needs within its boundaries. Using the topography and extant natural features of the 300 acre site, a 10 acre recreation park created a focus and also served as the site for an ornamental lake and formal gardens utilizing the natural drainage of the site. Existing roads determined the entry points to the suburb.

Within the suburb, distinct areas were set aside for commercial, administrative, education, religious, recreational and residential land uses. No industrial area was created. Two shopping precincts (one with town hall, theatre and fire station nearby) were allowed for, as well as sites for schools, accommodation for the aged, a convalescent home, a returned soldiers’ facility comprising a medical institute and a technical institute, and churches.

Reade allowed for a mix of recreation places including several large parks, a park which included tennis, lawn bowls and croquet, a children’s playground adjacent to the oval and school, internal reserves placed behind groups of houses on smaller allotments and small parks dotted throughout the suburb.

Reade applied the garden city principle of road classification to his design rather than the usual road width, which was a standard 66 feet, or one surveyor’s chain. The suburb’s roads varied in width, their width determined by the amount of traffic they would carry and their importance in the design scheme. Road widths varied in the suburb from 42 feet to 66 feet in residential areas, from between 66 and 80 feet for roads with shopping zones and other public facilities. The thoroughfare to the major aesthetic feature, the central square, was 99 feet wide.

The line of the roads was varied with curves and crescents where practical and long straight stretches avoided. Buildings were set back from the streets to ensure that adequate garden plots could be developed in front of houses. At corners, buildings were placed to avoid blank walls and ensure visibility for drivers. Rear lanes, in which the services were located, were provided behind the residential allotments.

Reade allowed for housing all social groups, and in line with garden city principles, aimed to design a site-specific Australian garden suburb, reflecting the desire for single storey houses on one allotment for one family. The building density was planned to be low (eventually three houses per acre) with each



house available for freehold purchase. Larger allotments were planned, dotted throughout the suburb for the more affluent and a complex for elderly residents, facilities for returned servicemen and a hostel for single men were also proposed. Smaller house blocks, which were intended to be purchased by people of “small means”, were provided with access to internal reserves at the rear of a cluster of these allotments. The internal reserves were intended to be additional available land for recreational or horticultural use.

Reade’s plan for the Mitcham Garden Suburb was released in 1917 and by September 1919, the suburb came into being as result of an Act of Parliament, the Garden Suburb Act (1919). From 1921, the suburb became a reality.

2.4 IMPLeMentAtIon of the MItChAM gARDen sUBURBBeginning in the north, 118 building allotments were created by late April 1921. Initially only 32 sold when the land was released, but by 30 June 1922, seven houses had been built. At that time, essential services were only partially completed and public transport was not close. By 30 June 1923 however, 11 houses had been constructed and land sales had increased. Development picked up and by 1924 the suburb was connected to reticulated water, sewerage lines were being installed and gas was promised soon. Links with existing public transport systems were improved at this time.

2.5 the thoUsAnD hoMes sCheMeIn June 1924 the South Australian Government announced the creation of the Thousand Homes Scheme in an attempt to address the acute housing shortage being experienced in the State. In part, this was an extension to Reade’s original plan as additional land was bought on the western side of Goodwood Road, and the suburb was extended. However, the incorporation of the Thousand Homes Scheme into the suburb changed the clarity of Reade’s original intent.

The Government intended the Thousand Homes Scheme to provide housing for returned soldiers and their families and working class civilians. Construction and land costs were to be kept to a maximum of £700. The State Bank of South Australia was assigned the task of administering the scheme under the Advances for Homes Act (1910). Under the Thousand Home Scheme, the Government expected to build 700 houses in Colonel Light Gardens, some of which would be constructed in the suburb as designed by Reade. Additional land was required to accommodate such a large number of houses, hence the acquisition of land on the western side of Goodwood Road.

Some 363 houses encouraged by the Thousand Homes Scheme were built on the redesigned southern section of the former ‘Grange Farm’ site and another 332 in the western extension. The design for the extension was laid out by Walter Scott Griffiths, the Government’s then Town Planner. Tenders were called for building all 1000 homes as one project or houses in multiples of 10. A contractor by the name of Timms, who tendered for all 1000 homes was successful. Timms’ business unfortunately failed in early 1925 and the contract was terminated in March 1925. A second contractor, Mr H C Freburg finished the task in 18 months.

Specific by-laws controlled many aspects of the housing constructed in both the private and thousand homes sections of the suburb including set backs from

�



boundaries, verandah widths and bathroom sizes. Buildings were required to stand alone but also be visually compatible with their neighbours. Most of the houses built in the suburb were builder-designed bungalows, an adapted version of the American Californian bungalow, but informed by Australian trends. Some Tudor style houses were also constructed from about 1927. These had steeper roof pitches but a very similar plan to the bungalow. All of the Thousand Homes were one of 14 facade designs on very similar plans prepared for the contractor by State Bank architects. These houses featured only brick front walls, not the use of stone, which is often found in the northern section of the suburb.

2.6 the IMPACt of the thoUsAnD hoMes sCheMe on ReADe’s DesIgn

The incorporation of the Thousand Homes Scheme forced changes to be made to Reade’s designed garden suburb. In essence, the southern end of Reade’s design, an area then unbuilt, was remodelled to standardise the allotment sizes. The formal gardens and ornamental lake in the recreation park planned for the south-western corner of the suburb was eliminated from the design, as were the open air swimming baths, the facilities for returned soldiers and this section’s internal reserves.

The revised plan of Reade’s design respected most of the principles on which Reade’s design was based, but two were significantly changed; the number, variety and distribution of recreation areas and the proximity of open space at the southern end of the suburb. Secondly, the socio-economic mix as intended by Reade was abandoned. The Thousand Homes Scheme created a zone of houses constructed for a very similar price, resulting in a uniform environment, although the architectural design of the houses varied slightly. The motivations and economic climate behind the creation of this part of the suburb were very different from those that accompanied Reade’s design.

In 1924 Colonel Light Gardens was foundering through a lack of private investment. The Thousand Homes Scheme with Government intervention brought finance, people and confidence to the garden suburb.

In the western extension, the suburb planning had very few references to garden city principles. In this area, the suburb was laid out in a standard grid plan to maximize allotment numbers. Token references to garden city principles were included in the design, notably the semi-circular reserve on Light Place, another reserve and one crescent-shaped street, Martlesham Crescent. The character of this western part of the suburb is quite different from the northern section of Colonel Light Gardens and is characterised by uniform street widths, a grid layout, limited sites for community facilities and few laneways.

By 1927, nearly all the available blocks in the suburb had been purchased and were occupied.

Today Colonel Light Gardens presents as a suburb with three distinct character areas. The north of the suburb embodies Reade’s original plan and intention and is the purest example of garden city principles applied to a suburb found in South Australia. The southern end of the suburb contains a slightly diluted version of the original plan. Colonel Light Gardens west of Goodwood Road appears as a standard suburban layout that emerged in the 1920s; a subdivision



pattern dominated by the grid and laid out with financial imperatives in mind. Nevertheless, the suburb is a fascinating example of the design and application of garden city principles of this period in Australia.

In a short time, the suburb became better known as a mass housing scheme than as a garden suburb, however residents were aware of the special nature of the suburb and advocated for its protection and enhancement.

3 stAteMent of heRItAge VALUe

This Statement of Heritage Value is taken from the City of Mitcham Development Plan.

The suburb of Colonel Light Gardens is significant for the following reasons:• It exemplifies the theories of town planning of the early 20th century based

on the Garden City concept, and is considered the most complete and representative example of a Garden Suburb in Australia, combining both town planning, aesthetic and social elements into a coherent plan. The public and private spaces of the suburb meld to create a distinctive three-dimensional suburban design.

• It represents the best work of Charles C Reade, who was the first appointed Town Planner in Australia and South Australian Government Planner from 1916-1920. Reade was the leading exponent of the Garden City Movement to practice in Australia.

• It is the repository of the majority of houses built under the mass housing programme of the Labour [sic] Government of 1920s known as the Thousand Homes Scheme and became the area identified with the Scheme. International visitors were taken to view the housing developments at Colonel Light Gardens during the 1920s.

• It contains a homogenous style of residential architecture representing the particular workingman’s house idiom of the mid-1920s, developed from the Californian Bungalow design.

• It is the embodiment of other, more ephemeral social concepts of the 1920s such as ‘post war reconstruction’, ‘home for returned soldiers’ and ‘community spirit and self help’ which lead to the creation and development of a community.

Colonel Light Gardens is therefore recognised as part of the environmental, social and cultural heritage of the State which is of significant aesthetic, architectural, historical and cultural interest; and qualifies for declaration as a State Heritage Area under the terms of the South Australian Heritage Act of 1993.

4 seCtIons AnD stReet CLAssIfICAtIon sYsteM

4.1 seCtIonsThe sections and street classification system used in this Conservation Management Plan provide a hierarchical framework within which the heritage value of the suburb can be managed.

4.1.1 East sEctionThe east section is defined as the area of Colonel Light Gardens to the east of Goodwood Road. It is bounded by Grange Road, Goodwood Road, Springbank Road and in a line that continues both south and north of View Street.

This east section incorporates the sections of the suburb of Colonel Light Gardens as designed and partly implemented under Reade’s plan (1917) and Scott Griffiths’ later, modified plan of 1924 that incorporated the Thousand Homes Scheme. As described in the History, generally the northern sections of the suburb were implemented as per Reade’s plan and the southern sections of the suburb occurred as implemented by the 1924 plan.

Both phases of the construction of the suburb are considered as one within this assessment because much of Reade’s road layout of 1917 survived and remained largely intact in the 1924 plan. The modified plan incorporated the creation of some additional roads or the extension of Reade designed roads. The main changes that occurred in the 1924 plan concern the reduction of open space and its use for housing and the creation of standardised allotments.

4.1.2 WEst sEctionThe west section covers the area of the suburb west of Goodwood Road that is also sometimes referred to as Colonel Light Gardens West. The shape of this section is irregular. It is bounded by Goodwood Road to the east and Winston Avenue to the west. Richmond Avenue and Corunna Avenue form the north and south boundaries, see map for boundaries.

This section is differentiated from the rest of the suburb because of the grid-like pattern and lack of laneways. The consequence of the lack of laneways is that the electricity supply occurs via wires suspended from Stobie poles that are located on the verges of the streets. Other services are also located in the street rather than in the laneways. In the remainder of the suburb, wires are found unobtrusively in the laneways that exist behind the houses. There are fewer Stobie poles and other fixtures cluttering the visual amenity of the streets within the suburb.

4.2 stReet CLAssIfICAtIons

4.2.1 Main Roads Goodwood, Springbank and Grange Roads and Winston Avenue are defined as main roads for the purposes of this Conservation Management Plan.

4.2.2 catEgoRy 1 stREEtsAs described in the History, Reade’s design for the suburb created a hierarchy of roads, in line with garden city principles and practice. Those roads in the suburb that were intended to carry the majority of traffic were generally wider and incorporated wider verges. Several formed an internal highway comprising East and West Parkway, Sturt Avenue and Salisbury Crescent. The internal highway had wide verges to facilitate the notion that drivers were passing through a park-like environment. Many of the allotments that fronted the internal highway were designed under Reade’s plan to be larger sites for the houses of the wealthy. The suburb’s principal public facilities such as bowling clubs, churches, community halls and shopping related functions are located on main thoroughfares. This category of streets is referred to in this Conservation Management Plan as Category 1 streets.

5.1 stoRMwAteR tABLes

5.1.1 dEscRiptionCurrently, a variety of stormwater management solutions are found within Colonel Light Gardens east and west sections. Some of Colonel Light Gardens’ streets do not possess any stormwater or kerbing system, namely Kent Road (near Reserve) and Doncaster Avenue. In some of the streets without stormwater tables, the asphalt at the road edge is slightly thickened, eg Doncaster Avenue. For other streets, the asphalt road surface continues and butts into the kerb with no concrete water table. This is found in streets such as Hereford Place.

Most commonly, however, the stormwater table is fabricated from concrete. In some cases, the stormwater table was laid as a distinctly separate component from the kerbing, with the upright kerbs added after.

The current practice is to fabricate the stormwater table and kerb as one unit. This relatively modern form of stormwater table treatment is found in much of the suburb. The stormwater table component of this unit is usually 280 – 300mm wide and is laid in lengths of approximately 3 metres. In some streets the stormwater table can be up to 400mm wide.

With the modern stormwater table kerb units, entrances to driveways have been flattened out to form the crossover. These crossovers have a shallow valley and are generally up to about 700mm wide.

5.1.2 HistoRyThe construction of “channelling” or “watertabling” was reported to be incomplete in the Annual Reports of 1928 and 1929. We can only assume that as it was considered as an integral part of the kerb structure, the water channelling was intended to be completed throughout the suburb, but never was.

By 1929, Dorset Avenue, Penang Avenue and part of Kandahar Crescent had been “kerbed” and presumably the watertable had been constructed as well.

5.1.3 objEctivEsThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• To retain the historic fabric (original) where this exists.• To reinforce the historic character.

5.1.4 stoRMWatER tablE policyMain RoaDsThe watertable treatment for main roads should be consistent with the remainder of the road, rather than making an exception for that section which is part of Colonel Light Gardens.

• Rollover kerbing with integral watertable should not be used within Colonel Light Gardens. Rollover kerbing should be removed where it currently exists and replaced with upright concrete kerbing.

5.2 KeRBs

5.2.1 dEscRiptionThere are three main approaches to kerb construction that can be found within Colonel Light Gardens. In many streets, the kerbing varies from one side of the road to the other.

In a few streets, such as Doncaster Avenue, there are no kerbs present and never have been.

It appears that the first kerbs laid in Colonel Light Gardens were upright kerbs 100mm wide x 150mm high, sometimes with a chamfered edge. They were laid in lengths of usually about 3 metres. The concrete used in these kerbs was not well gauged, and contains noticeably large aggregate. Where driveway crossovers occurred, the concrete kerb curved through a 90-degree arc. The crossover was formed using asphalt as a continuation of the road surface as in Windsor Avenue.

Later approaches involved the laying of an integral kerb and stormwater table using either upright or latterly a rollover kerb profile. Although many dimensional variations can be found, mostly, the dimensions of this profile are approximately 30mm x 70mm x 170mm high. In most streets, the kerb profile flattens out into a gentle ‘v’ shape to allow for the driveway crossover. In other streets, there is no flattening out, such as The Strand (between Piccadilly Circus and West Parkway).

House numbers have been recently painted onto some kerbing using either a blue and white or black and white scheme.

5.2.2 HistoRyIn 1928, it was stated in the Garden Suburb Commissioner’s Report that it was not proposed to do further work on the footpath surfaces until the construction of kerbs was completed in any one street. It was stated that a number of streets were proposed to be “kerbed” in 1929 and that the owners of abutting houses would be required to contribute a moiety for the work2. By 1929, it was reported that Dorset Avenue, Penang Avenue and part of Kandahar Crescent had been kerbed.

The initial intention was obviously to kerb all streets in Colonel Light Gardens but it is apparent that this objective was never fulfilled.

5.3 VeRges

5.3.1 dEscRiptionThe suburb of Colonel Light Gardens features many variations in its verge widths. The verge width is measured between the carriageway of a road and the boundary with private properties. Broadly they fall into four categories. As discussed in the History and this section, Reade’s design for the suburb created a hierarchy of roads, in line with garden city principles and practice. They were:• Major thoroughfares (Category 1) catered for the majority of traffic. The roads

were wider and incorporated wider verges. Some of these roads have central island verges that are also quite wide.

• Secondary roads (Category 2), intersect with internal highways and in the main have verges that range from 2-3 metres wide.

• Tertiary roads (Category 3), intersect with secondary roads and were designed to allow access to and from the residences. These streets tend to have very narrow verges, often less than 1 metre.

• Other roads (Category 4) found in the western section of Colonel Light Gardens have verges generally about 2.5 metres wide.

5.3.2 objEctivEsThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Retain the existing verge widths to preserve the historic street and verge

pattern within the suburb.

5.3.3 vERgEs policyMain RoaDsVerges along both sides of Goodwood Road, Springbank Road and Winston Ave should be retained, however the treatment of these may be considered within the broader context of these roads, rather than specifically identifying Colonel Light Gardens. Grange Road should be treated as for Eastern Section: Category 1 road.

East sEction: catEGoRiEs 1, 2 & 3• All original verges should remain in their current configuration.• No further alienation of the verges should occur.• Where alienation has occurred, the original verge alignment should be

reinstated, ie in the vicinity of the Institute, the former cinema (where possible) and Kent Road between Springbank Road and Sturt Avenue, and Windsor Avenue west of West Parkway.

• No kerb re-alignment should take place to accommodate car parking bays or street widening.

• Creation of traffic calming measures may be appropriate provided these occur within the carriageway and do not encroach into the verge.

• Road surfaces should remain as bitumen.

5.4 VeRge sURfACes

5.4.1 dEscRiptionBy far the majority of the streets in the eastern section of Colonel Light Gardens have grassed verges. The quality of the lawn grown varies considerably from scrubby and patchy grass, such as found in Kandahar Crescent, through to the manicured lawns of parts of East Parkway. The quality and consistency of the grassed surface makes an important contribution to the visual amenity of the locality. The verges also often contain a variety of shrubs planted in an idiosyncratic and inconsistent fashion.

In the eastern section of Colonel Light Gardens, there are several streets that have bare earth or bitumen/dolomite verges, some only on one side of the street. Mostly these bare verges can be found in the smaller streets at the boundaries of the suburb or in the Circuses. These streets are well-used entrances to the suburb, ie Windsor Avenue, Chester Street, Ludgate Circus and Oxford Circus and the visual amenity of these streets is important for the first impression they create.

In the western section of Colonel Light Gardens, there is a very patchy approach and one that seems to be determined by the residents’ personal planting and maintenance program. Many of the verges have an earth surface only. Some have gravel and or nuts dropped from the street trees. Others have lawn and shrubs planted by the residents. It is also apparent that a much greater proportion of the verges in this part of the suburb, as opposed to the eastern part of the suburb do not have consistently grassed verges. The lack of consistency has a profound effect on the overall visual amenity of this part of the suburb.

5.4.2 HistoRyGrassed verges planted with trees were intended to create a park-like atmosphere. In some streets it was intended that the trees planted in the verge would, when fully grown, form a leafy canopy that arched and met over the street. Driving through these streets was intended to resemble a pleasure drive where the verges as well as private and public gardens would merge3.

In 1936-37, mention is made that a contractor was engaged in that year to mow the grassed nature strips, confirming that some were planted with grass4.

5.4.3 objEctivEsThe objective for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb is:• To preserve and reinforce the park-like nature of Colonel Light Gardens’

streets.

5.4.4 vERgE suRfacEs policyMain RoaDsVerge Surfaces along both sides of Goodwood Road, Springbank Road and Winston Ave may be considered within the broader context of these roads, rather than specifically identifying Colonel Light Gardens.

5.5 stReet tRees

5.5.1 dEscRiptionAs a general rule, the street trees planted in the verges of both the east and west sections of Colonel Light Gardens are planted about half way between the kerb edge and the edge of the footpath. Exceptions to this rule do occur, for example when remnant vegetation is involved, ie Freeling Crescent outside the school. In Doncaster Avenue the road surface abuts the bases of the large eucalypts.

Notable exceptions to this halfway rule are also found in the Category 1 streets. In these very wide verges, the trees are often, but not always, planted further away from the kerb and closer to the footpath. This results in a shaded footpath rather than road. The south section of Broadway is a good example of this planting approach. Here the trees are planted 6.75 metres in from the kerb edge in a verge that is 9.6 metres wide. In some streets, the trees are planted closer to the kerb edge. Sturt Avenue is a good example where the trees are planted 400mm from the kerb in a verge that is 3.1 metres wide.

Generally there is only one line of street trees, even in the widest of verges. Exceptions to this rule are the east side of Kent Road between Sturt Avenue and Springbank Road where there is a double row of recently planted trees.

Street trees within Colonel Light Gardens are generally regularly spaced, however many issues can act to interrupt this regular spacing, eg the presence of driveways, entrances and exits to lanes and the requirements of the individual species of tree. Distances between tree centres often vary from one side of the street to the other even where the same species is used.

As a general rule however, the distance between tree centres found in the most visually pleasing and effective avenues of trees within the suburb, are formed when the tree centres are planted about 7 paces apart. Streets that feature this planting distance are Light Place, Windsor Avenue, Sturt Avenue, West Parkway, East Parkway, Portland Place, The Strand, Lincoln Avenue and Bedford Square. Most of these streets have been identified as Category 1 streets within this Conservation Management Plan.

Some streets with trees planted at a distance of more than 10 paces can also be very visually effective, for example, Prince George Parade. Generally however, the further apart the street trees are planted, and where interrupted with new plantings of a different species, the less visually cohesive the street looks. In some streets, the distance between trees is simply too varied to provide consistency. These streets have limited charm.

Many of the principal streets of Colonel Light Gardens were created and planted with street trees some 80 years ago and consequently, a number of trees have reached the end of their lives and have been removed and replaced. In several streets, such as West Parkway, some new planting with saplings has occurred, in this case between original but senescent mature trees. The approach to planting new trees is not consistent and gives some streets a patchy feel.

��



5.5.2 HistoRyFrom the earliest days of the creation of the suburb, a variety of mainly exotic trees were planted on the street verges and in central islands between the carriageways. Vegetation comprised only trees and grasses in the verges. Trees were to be planted only on the wider, higher category streets, with no plantings in the narrower, lower category streets that served residences only.

One species of tree per street was favoured. It is also clear that a mix of deciduous and evergreen, ornamental and attractive shade trees were preferred, in order to create the feeling of a leafy canopy overhead.

Remnant clumps of Eucalyptus were retained when the Garden Suburb was developed. These trees can be found east of the Primary School in Freeling Crescent, along Flinders Avenue next to the entrance to Reade Park and along Doncaster Avenue.

The street tree-planting programme began in 1921-22 and continued energetically during the 1920s. By 1924, 1077 trees had been planted and were being cared for to ensure straight upright growth. By 1925, 1800 trees had been planted in the suburb. In 1932 it was reported that 2500 trees had been planted since the suburb was established.

The long avenues of mature shade trees were an integral part of the planning of the Garden Suburb and form one of the most significant landscape features of Colonel Light Gardens. A complete list of which species were planted where is not to be found in the sources, but the most complete list dates from c.1924 (see table 1).

Issues• The rhythm of the street planting is being altered by inter-planting young

saplings between existing trees.• Existing English and Scotch Elms are being gradually replaced due to their

age and condition and replaced with a species that is resistant to Dutch Elm Disease.

• Using Chinese Elm to replace the existing Elms will not produce the same character that currently exists along the streets due to the different characteristics and growth habit of the Chinese Elm.

• Inter-planting young saplings between existing trees creates both overcrowding and gaps in the street tree canopy when existing trees still remain in the optimum positions for planting.

• Inter-planting over an extended period of time can result in an uneven canopy.

Policy• Retain all original street trees where individual specimens remain healthy.

Major pruning or removal of these trees should occur only as a last resort.• Specimens, which have been introduced after 1945, should be removed where

they are inconsistent with the original planting intent.• Retain alignment of tree plantings parallel to the street in a single row. Do not

introduce a secondary row of trees.• Inter-planting resulting from tree replacement should preserve the species and

OVERALL STREET TREE PLANTINGThe replacement of existing street trees is occurring where the species is either dying, in poor condition or is a species that is inappropriate within the context of the garden suburb.

An overall Tree Management Plan for Colonel Light Gardens is required to ensure the original intention of a hierarchy of street tree planting is maintained. (refer attached Colonel Light Gardens Tree Management Plan).

While still maintaining the same species in single streets, or sections of streets as in East Parkway, it is important to ensure that there is not an over abundance of a single species in groups of neighbouring streets as this would detract from the existing variety of character throughout Colonel Light Gardens.

5.6 footPAths AnD DRIVewAYs

5.6.1 dEscRiptionCurrently Colonel Light Gardens’ footpaths are surfaced in three different ways; some are dirt, others are bitumen and some are grey (and in one instance pink) concrete interlocking paving bricks. Commonly, the footpath of one side of any street may be surfaced using one medium while another is used on the opposite side of the street.

Dirt or remnant gravel footpaths are generally found on streets where a reserve abuts the footpath, eg the south side of Oxford Circus, Freeling Crescent and West Parkway, near Mortlock Park.

By far the most common footpath surface is bitumen, which is used extensively throughout the suburb. Generally these bitumen footpaths are in the order of 1.6-1.7 metres wide. They begin at the fence line of the residence and consequently no gap exists between the beginning of the footpath and the fence line. Where footpaths are bitumen, the driveway surface is usually bitumen too.

More recently, some of the bitumen footpaths have been replaced with a system of interlocking concrete pavers. Footpaths constructed of pavers are in the order of 1.5 metres wide. Generally, a gap exists between the fence line and the beginning of the paved surface. This gap is generally about 200mm to 300mm wide but can be as much as 450mm (Hastings Road). Occasionally, the concrete pavers are continued through and used as the surface for the driveway but bitumen is usual.

5.6.2 HistoRyBy 1926, it was reported that approximately 26 miles of footway had been constructed5. By 1927, it was reported that a light footpath power roller had been acquired with a view to placing the 26 miles of footways in order as early as possible. This statement was made in the context of tar dressing the road surfaces and suggests that the first footpath surface was later covered with a bitumen dressing6. In 1929 it was reported that it was not proposed to do more than grade and screen the footpaths where urgently required (with a footpath roller) until the work of kerbing and water-tabling in any one street was completed. It was not practical to lay down a permanent footway until this work had been done7.

Archival photographs make clear that the gravel used for footpaths was a light colour. The paths appear not to be edged in a formal way, except when kerbing is present on the roadside. They terminate against the fences and in some photographs seem to continue to form driveway or path surfaces on the adjoining house allotment.

footpathCnr Salisbury Cres and Flinders Ave, 1935

��



It is clear that initially the footpaths on both sides of the road were constructed from screened gravel or aggregate that was then rolled to achieve a compact, hard and slightly impervious surface. Clearly, the intention was to lay bitumen on the footpaths of Colonel Light Gardens, but to do so only when the kerb and water-table were constructed. In some places this never occurred.

5.6.3 objEctivEsThe objective for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb is:• Retain bitumen as one of the early paving treatments throughout the suburb.• Reinforce bitumen paving throughout the suburb in lieu of alternative paving

types.

5.6.4 footpatHs and dRivEWays policyMain RoaDsFootpaths and driveways along both sides of Goodwood Road, Springbank Road and Winston Ave may be considered within the broader context of these roads, rather than specifically identifying Colonel Light Gardens. Grange Road should be treated as for Eastern Section: Category 1 road.

5.7 stReet AnD footPAth LIghts

5.7.1 dEscRiptionThe eastern section of Colonel Light Gardens has few street lights resulting from the fact that few structures exist on which to mount street lights in the streets because of the laneway network of services. Stobie poles are found on the streets only when they are required to transport the electrical supply from one lane network to another. Often the streets of the eastern part of Colonel Light Gardens will have only a handful of, if any, Stobie poles. Consequently these streets are generally dark at night and the location of the lights is based on the fortuitous position of a Stobie pole, rather than the need to illuminate a particular area.

Where streetlights do exist, they are either mounted from the top of the Stobie pole or about two thirds of the way up the pole. There are several styles of fittings used but the most common variety is those with the markings M80D97.

In some parts of the suburb (West Parkway, Eton Street, and Pembroke Place) timber poles have been erected on which streetlights are mounted. In some cases, these treated poles have been placed in the same line as the trees to try to disguise their presence.

At the western end of Tidworth Crescent and in Ludgate Circus, galvanised metal goose neck street lights have been installed and the power supply to them provided underground. This lighting type exists only in this part of the suburb. Similar but different metal poles are found in the area of the Kent Reserve.

In the western section of Colonel Light Gardens, the streets do not have an extensive lane network and hence Stobie poles located in the verge carry the power supply. Street lights are mounted on these poles.

5.7.2 HistoRyDesign ideas as applied to garden suburbs encouraged the reduction in the number of lights provided but an increase in the power per light. Designers were encouraged to make the light or lamp “a thing of beauty” rather than a purely utilitarian fixture. It was somewhat disapprovingly stated that until electricity is under-grounded, the temptation will be strong to use hung lamps. It was recommended that electric lights should be treated in the same way as gas lights of the period, with the added potential that the design of electric lights allowed for more possibilities in design8.

In the eastern section of Colonel Light Gardens, we know four types of street lighting were employed historically. Streetlights were either:• an open reflector shade hung over the middle of the street utilising a wire hung from opposite poles. • a concrete pillar or column light fitting. These fittings were supplied by an underground power supply. The

��



light took the form of a reinforced concrete column, with a base, shaft and capital seated on a stepped pedestal. Above the capital was a post top fitting comprising a half sphere from which the globe emerged. An opaque glass sphere shaded the light globe at the top of the column’s capital. These pillars were placed at visually important locations in the suburb.

By 1925, the Commissioner reported that an agreement had been reached with the electricity suppliers regarding street lighting in Colonel Light Gardens. Initially two systems of lighting were adopted; the usual suspended lights (adopted as the most efficient) and a second style, an ornamental pillar light located in specific positions. By 1925 several streets had been illuminated and it was expected that the whole area would be illuminated in the course of a few weeks9.

Correspondence occurring between the parties makes clear that the cost of providing the ornamental pillar lights was prohibitive, particularly given that the alternative, wooden poles were provided at the cost of the electric supply company. The Commissioner intended to place a few ornamental pillar lights in the suburb, but only at visually significant locations. No pillar lights remain today. Where overhead lights (ie located midway across a street, and strung from poles on either side) were used, the poles were to be placed on the alignment of the allotments as it was thought that this would not make them too obtrusive. It was added that additional lamps could be installed at any time10. None of these remain either.

By 1926, it was reported that all roads in the suburb had been illuminated by electric lights. Given that the Thousand Homes Scheme was in operation by that time, it is presumed that the western section of Colonel Light Gardens had been lit as well11.

Clearly the amount of illumination provided was not sufficient. In 1927, it was reported that additional high-powered lights had been installed. There were now 82 well placed lights at street intersections and other important positions, the whole giving a satisfactory result equal to the lighting of most of the metropolitan residential area12.

In 1928, an additional 8 lamps were installed, making a total of 11413. In 1929, another street light or lamp was installed at the junction of West Parkway and Suffolk Place, making a total of 115 lamps14.

Further records reveal that it was initially proposed to install 26 lights of 50 cp, 5 of 100 cp and 6 ornamental pillar lights of 100 cp. The ornamental pillar lights were supplied by the Garden Suburb Commissioner and connected via underground wires. We know that they were placed at the following locations because of a reference to cabling requirements.• West Parkway to Stafford Place (32 y)• Broadway to Prince George (40 y)• West Parkway to Lancaster (32 y)• Bond Street (26 y)• Salisbury Crescent (56 y)• The ornamental pillar originally proposed for The Grove was re-allocated by

5.7.3 objEctivEsThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• To retain the current unobtrusive nature of the street lighting in the eastern

section of Colonel Light Gardens.• To reinstate lost feature street lights.• To retain the current street lighting approach in the western section of Colonel

Light Gardens.

5.7.4 stREEt and footpatH ligHts policyEast sEction: catEGoRY 1, 2 & 3 stREEtsThese consultants do not support the installation of footpath lighting in the eastern section of Colonel Light Gardens. Increased lighting levels provided by an increased number of, or increased illumination of, streetlights will profoundly change the character of the suburb at night and during the day. The addition of large numbers of light posts will be visually intrusive.

• Reinstate ornamental pillar lights. (Refer to Pillar Light Policy below).• Any further augmenting of street lighting or park lighting must be supplied by

an underground power supply. Ensure that trenching does not impact upon street trees.

• Place new lights to minimise impact upon and clearance from street trees.• Street lighting to Goodwood, Springbank and Grange Roads should be

consistent with the lighting for the rest of those roads.

Stobie Poles Policy• Remove Stobie poles in high profile locations such as reserves where they

clearly diminish visual amenity.

Pillar Lights Policy• Install ornamental pillar lights with underground power supply to specified

locations.• New pillar lights are to be placed in high profile locations throughout Colonel

Light Gardens where there is the termination of a vista. The locations for the lights include:

• Ludgate Circus• Corner of East Parkway and Salisbury Crescent• Corner of Salisbury Crescent and Lincoln Avenue• Doncaster Reserve• Termination of vista along East Parkway and The Grove• The Strand Reserve• Termination of vista along East Parkway at the intersection with Prince

George Parade• Oxford Circus• Termination of vista along Kent Road at Kent Reserve.

Manufacture of Pillar LightsThe columns for the pillar lights should be constructed from Glass Reinforced Concrete with a tapered form based on the original ornamental light design. The light fitting will be a catalogue item from one of the major light manufacturers to ensure easy replacement of components as required.

General Lights PolicyIf street lighting requires augmenting, the following options are appropriate:• Where laneways cross over a street, install light suspended from cable above

centre line of road. Cables to be supported from Stobie poles set within opposite lanes

• Where no laneways exist, install new pole and fitting of an appropriate and sympathetic style located within the line of the street trees with power supplied via underground cabling. Ensure that trenching does not impact upon street trees.

• Place new lights to minimise impact upon and clearance from street trees.• Rationalise all existing cantilevered arms supported from Stobie poles.

5.8.1 dEscRiptionCurrently, the street name plates of Colonel Light Gardens are identical to those used elsewhere in the Council district. The signs are fixed on galvanised capped metal poles and consist of black type on a reflective white surface. The poles are located near the kerb at the intersection of streets.

Frequently, faded black and white painted street names can be found on Stobie poles.

5.8.2 HistoRyPhotographic evidence shows that in the 1920s, some street signs were located on square or rectangular in section timber poles that were painted white. The street name plate was fixed mid way to the post. Name plates were painted white with the name of the street in black. Photographs show the post to be located on the edge of the footpath, abutting the front fence of the nearby allotment, not on the edge of the verge.

Later photographs from the 1930s show that the design had changed. The timber post was located on the very edge of the verge. It is not possible to see the street sign and the manner in which it is fixed. By 1947, a reference is made making clear that the street name plates were fabricated from cast iron16. It could be that the first plates continued in use until this time and were fabricated from cast iron. None of these remain.

��



In 1959-60, mention was made that the painting of street names on Stobie poles had been completed17. Possibly the two systems co-existed, or more likely, one superseded the other.

At the intersection of The Grove and View Street and at the intersection of View Street and Prince George Parade, the modern design street name plate includes the words ‘Town of Colonel Light Gardens’

5.8.3 objEctivEsThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Create a distinctive appearance for street signage within Colonel Light

Gardens.• Street name signs should be provided in a uniform and consistent manner

throughout Colonel Light Gardens and in a style and appearance consistent with the heritage value of the suburb.

5.9 sIgns

5.9.1 dEscRiptionThe public realm signage of Colonel Light Gardens consists of Road Traffic Act signage and Council signs that relate to parking issues, etc. Many of the streets have few if any Council signs yet in others there are many signs mostly regulating parking (where and when) and ‘Clean Up After Your Dog’. These signs are consistent in their graphics and similar in form to the smaller of the Road Traffic Act signs such as ‘One Way’. Most Council signs are small, use reflective material as a sub-surface and have black and/or red typeface. They are mounted on galvanised metal poles and generally located close to the kerb edge. Some signs display a City of Mitcham logo.

On the major roads, near the boundary of the suburb, other seemingly older signs can be found which announce the suburb name.

The appearance and size of the Road Traffic Act signage cannot be altered.

5.9.2 HistoRyOriginally, the suburb would appear to have had few signs other than street nameplates.

However, metal sign at the intersection of West Parkway and Doncaster Avenue with the words ‘To Institute’ remains.

5.9.3 objEctivEsThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Create a distinctive appearance to signage within Colonel Light Gardens and

identify the suburb as a special area at major gateways.• Identify Colonel Light Gardens’ reserves with appropriate signage.• Signs should be provided in a uniform and consistent manner throughout the

suburb and in a style and appearance consistent with the heritage value of the State Heritage Area.

• Reduce the number of signs and poles in Colonel Light Gardens.• Ensure that existing and any new signs are located discreetly and sensitively to

minimize visual impact.

5.9.4 policyMain RoaDs East sEction: catEGoRiEs 1, 2 & 3WEst sEction: catEGoRiEs 1 & 4• Install or maintain and enhance existing suburb signs on the major roads.• Provide signage and entry statements to identify Colonel Light Gardens at the

southern and northern entry points of Ludgate Circus and Oxford Circus. The entry statements should include signage, entry pillars, hedging, ornamental planting, pathways, fencing and new tree planting. (Refer to perspective sketch of the entry statement and concept sketch for Ludgate Circus and Oxford Circus.)

• As vehicle parking on anything other than designated parking bays, carriageways or private property is contrary to the Road Traffic Act, the ‘No Parking on Verges’ signs are superfluous. Remove ‘No Parking on Verges’ signs. Council to rigorously police illegal parking.

• Paint sign poles in the recommended ‘Charcoal’ colour throughout the suburb.

��



• Remove all non-essential signs.• Remove as many sign poles as possible by clustering signs that are as small as

practicable onto one post. Mount signage on existing Stobie poles if possible.• Locate parking regulatory signs a uniform distance from the kerb edge (eg

600mm). Parking signs should not be located on the corners of intersections.• To prevent the proliferation of signage close to kerbs, locate ‘Clean Up After

Your Dog’ signs well within the boundaries of reserves, rather than adjacent to kerb lines.

• Retain the sign ‘To Institute’ at the intersection of West Parkway and Doncaster Avenue

• Where used, interpretative signs to be of a consistent design and be sympathetic and appropriate to Colonel Light Gardens.



5.10 stReet fURnItURe

5.10.1 dEscRiptionFor the purposes of this Conservation Management Plan, street furniture is defined as being:• fire hydrant markers• bus shelters• rubbish bins• public telephones• letter boxes• seats• bollards• bicycle racks.

5.10.2 HistoRyContempory writers on the subject of garden suburb designs commented that the town furnishings, both useful and ornamental, are a potential factor in adding dignity, formality and beauty to the public thoroughfare and place. Everything, they wrote, that forms part of the street merits the most careful consideration and design18.

Few definite comments can be found in the sources relating to street furniture in Colonel Light Gardens. No comment was found relating to fire hydrants/plugs, rubbish bins, seating for parks, bollards or signs.

Bus shelters and seatsThe seats provided for passengers waiting for the buses were commented upon in 1927-28. By that time, a number of seats, described as “somewhat rustic” had been provided on the tram and bus routes19. The seats were better described as benches and were very simple. They were not sheltered or shaded and were constructed of a plank of timber mounted on four upright, rectangular in section, posts. None of these remain. Much later, in 1960-61, bus shelters were installed on the bus routes of Salisbury Crescent and East Parkway20. The current shelters are still later in date. An example of a seat used in the suburb is located on Winston Avenue Colonel Light Gardens, at the bus stop adjacent to Richmond Avenue.

Bollards, East Parkway and The Grove intersection. 1930.

BollardsArchival photographs record the appearance of some early bollards. They were square in section timber posts of a square section that were painted white.

Public telephones and Letter BoxesBy June 1925, pillar boxes and public telephones had been installed in convenient positions in the suburb (by then including the Thousand Homes Scheme)21. In 1927-28, it was noted that an additional telephone cabinet would be installed at the north-eastern corner of the junction of West Parkway and Doncaster Avenue22. None of these remain.

Fire Hydrant Markers/PlugsArchival photographs show that the first generation of fire hydrant markers (timber) is still present in the suburb.

5.10.3 objEctivEsAll street furniture (as defined above) should be uniform and consistent throughout the area and in a style and appearance appropriate to the heritage value of the suburb.

All street furniture should be located so as to be discreet and reinforce the heritage value of the suburb.

Fire Hydrant MarkersThere are two styles of fire hydrant markers found in Colonel Light Gardens; timber posts and later, metal posts. The older style fire hydrants are timber with the dimensions 100mm x 100mm by 1050mm high. The posts are painted white, have chamfered corners and are topped with red metal caps. The newer style of hydrants are constructed from circular metal pipes with a diameter of 80mm that are 1060mm high, topped with a red plastic cap. Both are located in the verge close to the kerb edge, although some of the older ones are located in the tree line.

Bus sheltersColonel Light Gardens has only one bus route that runs through the suburb, along East Parkway. The associated bus shelters are found on some but not all of the stops on that route and they are of a standard but not modern design. The shelters are fabricated from metal and reinforced concrete, with a raked roof, and are painted a dark carriage green. At bus stops, the yellow ‘Hail Bus Here’ signs as well as bus timetable information on yellow painted metal poles can be found.

Rubbish BinsThere are few public rubbish bins in the suburb that lie outside of the parks and reserves. Those few found, tend to be mounted on a single galvanised metal post, and fabricated from green corrugated metal with a white metal lid. The bins are of a standard, if somewhat aged design.

Public telephonesThere appear to be no public telephone booths located within the suburb.

Letter BoxesLetter boxes of the standard design produced for Australia Post exist only in the suburb in The Strand and in East Parkway.



BollardsVehicles are prevented from entering many lanes in the suburb by means of a series of bollards. These bollards take many forms, from galvanised pipe, with or without chains, to timber posts of many different timbers, dimensions, heights, capping profile, reflectors and finished surfaces. Throughout the suburb, any one bollard design is seldom repeated. Residents clearly use a number of the lanes for vehicle access and some bollards have been removed or fixed in such a way that they are very easily removed. Some residents have devised means of gaining vehicular access from their properties to the laneways.

5.11 UtILItY wAYs / LAnewAYs

5.11.1 dEscRiptionAn extensive and comprehensive network of lanes is found in the eastern part of Colonel Light Gardens. This network runs behind the houses and contains underground and above ground services, namely electrical supply carried on Stobie poles above ground and water, gas and sewer contained in underground pipes.

The appearance of the laneways varies considerably. Generally they are between 4m to 6m wide. The majority are in the order of 4.9m or 16 feet wide, as originally designed. Some are wider and often contain very large Stobie poles, ie off Wattlebury Road. Frequently, the surface of the lanes is a mixture of dirt and remnant gravel. A few lanes have a dolomite surface and many lanes are used to dump vegetation.

A few laneways have been planted with grass and shrubs and residents have set up garden furniture, eg West Parkway. Presumably, these lanes are used as a quasi-extension of private gardens or a community space.

Some lanes have been utilised for vehicle access purposes (Masonic Homes on the Strand is an example and off West Parkway, for use by Colonel Light Gardens Primary School) and these lanes have a hard surface, generally bitumen.

In the western section of Colonel Light Gardens, there are only four lanes, one of which links Penang Avenue with Richmond Avenue. Two lanes link Corunna Avenue with Rozells Avenue. A fourth lane exists between Rozells and Penang Avenues. Lanes in this section of the suburb were for pedestrian use only.

In parts of the suburb, most commonly in the northern sections of the eastern part of the suburb, a stormwater drain system runs through the lanes. This takes the form of channels along which stormwater runs before emptying into concrete drainpipes that carry the water under the roads and then empty in the continuation of the laneway. This approach to stormwater is found in West Parkway (between Salisbury Crescent and Portland Place), Flinders Avenue, Lincoln Avenue and Broadway. Some of these lanes have part hard surfaces (for the drain at least), but for others the drains are causing erosion. Some of these lanes become impassable quagmires after heavy rain.

5.11.2 HistoRyThe rear utility ways (laneways) featured as part of Reade’s original design. Their purpose was to take services so as to ensure that public streets were not visually cluttered with poles and wires and to ensure that the trees and gardens were not disturbed when work was required to be done to the existing services. Reade envisaged that all other services would be connected from the utility ways.

The lanes were designed to be 16 feet wide, a width suggested as appropriate by the Hydraulic Engineer. In order to ease the task of laying pipes, the laneways did not follow the curves of the streets. Rather they were laid out as a series of connected straight lines.



Laneways were closed to vehicles but open to pedestrians, intentionally providing a direct, straight route to the shops and park areas. To ensure vehicles did not use them, bollards were placed at the entrances.

In later years, some changes were made. In 1964-65, it was reported that four pieces of road, including two unused utility ways, were sold to adjoining property owners23. This was followed in 1965-66 with the Freemasons purchasing part of the laneway at the Strand and West Parkway24.

In recent times, problems have been encountered with the utility ways including weed growth, the surface condition of the laneways and rubbish dumping. Service vehicles are increasingly finding the lanes difficult to use due to the increase in vehicle size. This has lead in some cases to Stobie poles and timber poles being erected in streets25.

Photographs from the 1930s show the laneway bollards to be rather like the fire plugs, ie short, square section timber posts, painted white. Down from the top of the post, a dark coloured band exists.

5.11.3 objEctivEs• Retain the lanes for service infrastructure.• Preserve the lanes as a network for pedestrians and cyclists.• Exclude non-service vehicular traffic from regular use.• Keep the laneway network free and clear.• Laneways should remain in public, rather than private ownership. No further

subdivision or alienation of this public land should occur.

5.11.4 policy• Connect all stormwater sumps via underground pipes to the main stormwater

system. Where that cannot be done, open sealed spoon drains should be formed which channel surface water towards sumps feeding via underground pipes into the stormwater drainage system.

• Provide uniform surfacing to non-sealed laneways using compacted quartzite/sandstone quarry rubble (PM 21) topped with a sandstone/quartzite gravel.

• Sealed laneways may remain, but further sealing of lanes should be avoided. Where sealed laneways are in poor condition they should be resurfaced.

• Existing grassed lanes may remain. Residents should be discouraged from annexing the lanes as additional garden space as this narrows the lane and prevents access by service vehicles.

• Planting in the laneways should not occur.• Dumping of waste prunings etc in the laneways by the residents should be

actively discouraged. Council should regularly check and clear the lanes of plantings, dumped and overhanging vegetation which obstructs free and reasonable access and remind residents of the green waste collection system currently operating in Colonel Light Gardens.

• Development involving new vehicular access points onto a laneway should not be undertaken except under the following circumstances:

1. The site immediately abuts one of the utility laneways (comprising lots 52, 654 and 655 which provide access behind the commercial properties of Salisbury Crescent and The Strand.)

2. The access point will be to a utility laneway that already has a sealed surface (ie allotments 284-293, 303 to 312 and 538-545.)

3. Vehicular access to a public road cannot be provided for the on site parking area due to the positions of existing buildings on the allotment on which the development is proposed.

5.12 seRVICes – eLeCtRICItY, gAs AnD teLeCoMMUnICAtIons, wAteR AnD seweRAge

5.12.1 dEscRiptionIn the eastern section of Colonel Light Gardens, the presence of the lanes allows the services in the main thoroughfares to be minimised. In the streets, there is no tangle of overhead wires. Although some Stobie and timber poles in Pembroke Place, Eton Street, Lincoln Avenue and Wattlebury Road are found in the public realm, most of the poles required to carry the electrical supply are located in the laneways. Stobie poles are only generally found in the streets when carrying wires from one network of lanes to another.

When not in laneways, the poles have often been deliberately placed in line with street tree trunks in an effort to disguise them. For example, on the Broadway, where a central island runs down the street, the Stobie poles are placed in line with the trees in the middle of the island. Where this has not occurred, the location of the Stobie poles varies tremendously. They can be found from 200mm to 1200mm from the kerb edge.

The inspection/access points for the other services, ie gas, water and sewer, are found in the lanes and also in footpaths or verges. Some of the other structures associated with services, such as the telephone distribution pillars and cabinets are located in the verges.

In the western section of Colonel Light Gardens, the lack of laneways required that the services were provided in the street, either underground or above ground. For electrical and telephone supply, this required a network of Stobie poles and a web of wires overhead. The poles are located in the verges about 25 to 30 metres apart, usually on both sides of the street, and generally about 2 metres from the kerb. Stobie poles are located either parallel or at 90 degrees to the kerb. In Penang Avenue timber poles are also found.

Gas, water and sewer pipes are underground with inspection points located in the footpath and/or verge.

5.12.2 HistoRySupplied electricity and reticulated water were the first services provided to the residents of Colonel Light Gardens and they existed and were operational in the part of the suburb that had been subdivided by 192326. By 1923-24, the entire area was reported to be supplied with water mains27.

Sewerage was first installed in 1923-2428. By 1924-25, it was reported that deep drainage now extended over the whole of Colonel Light Gardens as it had then developed29. By 1929, it was reported that the reticulation of the sewers had been completed in Rozells Ave, Penang Ave, Corunna Ave, Richmond Ave, Martlesham Cres, Rapid Ave and Light Place. The whole area of Colonel Light Gardens was now provided with sewers30.

By 1925, gas mains had been constructed in the suburb (now with the Thousand Homes Scheme.) Presumably the electricity supply was extended as required with the additional release of land.31 The majority of these services were provided in the lanes in line with Reade’s intentions.



5.12.3 objEctivEsThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Services infrastructure should be located so as to complement the heritage

value of the suburb.• Services should be preferably underground and located in the utility ways.• Services infrastructure should be visually unobtrusive and where above

ground, designed and located to retain the heritage value of the area.

5.12.4 policy• New electrical, telecommunications or other services cabling infrastructure

should be, where it is not replacement infrastructure, located underground in the laneways. Where underground services run parallel to the property frontage, they should be located within the road carriageway or below footpaths.

• No additional overhead cabling is to be undertaken by any service provider outside of existing laneways and future road crossings between adjacent laneways are to be placed underground, except where street lighting is to be augmented.

• All new replacement “lead-in” cabling to customer premises is to be located underground.

• Inspection points and access pits should be located in the laneways. Where underground services occur within the street network, they should be located within the roadway or footpath. Location of pits within the landscaped section of the verges should be avoided

STREET GARDEN RESERVESThe street garden reserves in Colonel Light Gardens are usually grassed with exotic shrubs and ground covers, both small and large trees, and more recently planted with flowering native trees. Raised red brick garden beds were created in the 1990s at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Salisbury Crescent and in Martlesham Crescent.

Colonel Light Gardens eastern section:intersection of Rochester avenue and Kandahar crescentA star shaped intersection with four triangular areas of grass and tree planting. Street trees consist of Ash (Fraxinus sp.) and Silky Oak along Kandahar. Trees along Rochester are predominantly Ash (Fraxinus sp.) with some small Eucalyptus sp. Within the grassed areas there are random plantings of Eucalyptus sp. and young Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia).

intersection of Rochester avenue and Goodwood RoadAlthough part of the original layout for the suburb, the northern rectangular garden reserve has been used for carparking as part of the adjacent commercial developments.

intersection of West Parkway and the strandThe reserve at this intersection is on West Parkway north of The Strand. Trees along The Strand consist of young and mature Plane Trees (Platanus sp.) with some Brush Box (Lophostemon conferta). West Parkway has street tree plantings of White Cedar (Melia azedarach) on the eastern side and a young Plane on the western side. Just outside the reserve is a large Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The grassed areas have planting of Eucalyptus sp.

intersection of West Parkway and Lancaster avenueThe pathways through this intersection are in the process of being upgraded and there are new pram ramps installed that do not follow the existing path structure. A Stobie pole with a street light dominates the intersection and there are driveways of bitumen and gravel that cut through the grassed area on the NW quadrant.

The reserve has four triangular quadrants in a star shape that are each different sizes due to Lancaster Avenue being offset from West Parkway. Street trees along Lancaster are Kurrajongs (Brachychiton sp.) with False Acacia (Robinia sp.) along

garden reserve, Ludgate Circus1930



West Parkway and some Brush Box (Lophostemon conferta). The dominant planting in the intersection are the 2 Norfolk Island Pines in the larger of the 2 quadrants. Shrub planting throughout the intersection consists of Oleander, Tecoma and Viburnum.

intersection of Lincoln avenue and East Parkway This reserve consists of two grassed areas on the eastern side of East Parkway. The northern section has a young planting of Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) with the southern section having a mature Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta) in the reserve and a young Ash (Fraxinus sp.) on the street edge.

intersection of Lancaster avenue and Bedford squareKurrajongs (Brachychiton sp.) extend along Lancaster and into the reserve on both corners where Lancaster intersects with Bedford Square with one of the Kurrajongs in poor condition. The street trees around Bedford Square are Plane Trees (Platanus sp.) with some gaps in the planting.

Junction of salisbury crescent and Lincoln avenue This intersection is a major focal point for traffic entering Colonel Light Gardens from Grange Road and Sussex Terrace. The intersection is dominated by a Stobie pole with street lighting attached in two directions.

The reserve is predominantly grass with three curving, raised garden beds on the southern side of Lincoln edged with red bricks and two crescent shaped beds on the northern side. The planting in the beds consists of Agapanthus, Diosma, Lavender and Roses with two of the beds being framed by large Tecoma that possibly date back to the original planting. The other dominant planting feature at the intersection is the large Blue Cedar Tree in the property that faces the intersection.

intersection of East Parkway and salisbury crescent This corner reserve is predominantly grass with a mature Purple Leafed Plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’) in the corner and a dying Eucalyptus sp. There is also an Agave sp. adjacent to one of the boundary fences. It is an open area with a number of service pit covers set in the road verge.

intersection of Wattlebury Road and Lincoln avenueThe reserve contains four rectangular sections which were originally planted with poplars, some of which have new plantings of Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) and Ash (Fraxinus sp.). Street trees on the western edge of Wattlebury are established Elms (Ulmus sp.) with new plantings of Ash (Fraxinus sp.) on the Lincoln to the north of Wattlebury.

intersection of tidworth crescent and Flinders avenueStreet tree planting along Flinders are established Elms (Ulmus sp.) with planting on Tidworth being a combination of various Eucalyptus sp. and new plantings of Jacaranda mimosifolia. This reserve is octagonal in shape with Eucalyptus sp., Brush Box (Lophostemon conferta) and Purple Leafed Plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’) planted both formally and at random. Paving surfaces include bitumen, gravel and unit concrete pavers.

intersection of East Parkway and Prince George ParadeThe abutment on Prince George Parade has groundcover planting of Cotoneaster sp. and Rosmarinus sp. Street tree planting on East Parkway is set back from the intersection. There are old plantings of both False Acacia (Robinia sp.) and Flowering Gum (Eucalyptus ficifolia) on Prince George with interplanting of new False Acacia.

intersection of Prince George Parade and BroadwayThe road width at the corner of this intersection has been reduced with a line of rumble bars fixed to the road surface. The kerb is still set in its original position and the reserve is a small grassed area with no planting.

intersection of chester street and Goodwood RoadThis reserve consists of two square areas of grass with tree planting and diagonal pathways. The trees are planted formally with 2 established White Cedars (Melia azedarach) and 2 Silky Oaks (Grevillea robusta) on either side of the paths. Other planting of Eucalyptus sp. and Bottlebrush (Callistemon sp.) are in semi-formal positions but overall the reserve looks cluttered.

intersection of Winchester avenue, Windsor avenue and West ParkwayThree roads converge at the western entrance to Colonel Light Gardens Primary School with the reserve set amongst this intersection. It consists of a central island with a large established White Cedar (Melia azedarach) and the adjacent section of reserve to the north with pathways and a single planting of Irish Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo). Street trees in adjacent streets are White Cedar (Melia azedarach) and Elm (Ulmus sp.).

Lincoln avenueThis reserve has four equal rectangular sections parallel to Lincoln Avenue set back from the existing road verge with the front boundary of adjacent properties set back accordingly. One of the sections has been planted up by the property owner with shrubs in keeping with the rest of their front garden. The other three sections have established plantings of Kurrajong (Brachychiton sp.) and Purple Leafed Plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’) with lawn underneath and Eucalyptus sp. with under-planting of Diosma.

East ParkwayThis reserve runs parallel to East Parkway and is set back from the existing road verge with the front boundary of adjacent properties set back to suit. It is crossed at several places by driveways and 2 laneways also enter the reserve from east and west. It is predominantly trees planted in grass with one of the sections having shrub planting extending from the adjacent property.

Trees in the reserve include Golden Elm (Ulmus glabra ‘Lutescens’), Golden Rain Tree (Koelreutaria paniculata), Brush Box (Lophostemon conferta),



Willow Myrtle (Agonis flexuosa), Silky oak (Grevillea robusta), Prunus sp. and Eucalyptus sp. The street tree plantings has the original Elms (Ulmus sp.) with gaps in the canopy due to the removal of some trees.

East Parkway and the GroveAn access road runs parallel to East Parkway and forms one edge to this reserve with formal street tree planting of Plane Trees (Platanus sp.). The eastern boundary is the road verge and street tree planting of Elms (Ulmus sp.) that have been inter-planted with young Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia).

Planting in the reserve consists of a mature Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos sp.) and several established shrubs including Privet, Oleander and Viburnum sp. in grass. There are timber bollards to prevent vehicle access on to the reserve at the northern end.

Eton street and Lancaster avenueThis reserve has the shape of an arrowhead with street tree planting of mature Kurrajong (Brachychiton sp.) along Lancaster and young Plane Trees (Platanus sp.) along Eton. In the centre of the reserve there is a mature Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla).

Freeling crescent and Windsor avenueThis site has mature River Red Gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) that have been left from the original farm. The trees are set in grass and located in two groups at either end of the reserve.

It is a memorial site with a stone cairn that has a commemorative plaque and small paved area and has a very different character from all other street garden reserves.

Colonel Light Gardens western section:Martlesham crescent The north and south reserves on Martlesham are both triangular shaped islands, each with a mature Ash (Fraxinus sp.) at their western corners, and predominantly grass underneath trees.

The south reserve was altered in the 1990s and has an ornamental planting bed with roses and border planting of daisy and lobelia set within a red brick edge. It also has two benches and a frame for climbing roses. Other trees in the reserve include new planting of White Cedar (Melia azedarach) and Eucalyptus sp. with the adjacent street trees being Kurrajongs (Brachychiton sp.)

The north reserve has random planting of new and mature Eucalyptus sp. with Brush Box (Lophostemon conferta) along the northern edge. There is a bench beneath the Ash (Fraxinus sp.) but no ornamental planting bed.

STREET ISLAND RESERVESThese island reserves are characterised by grass and established formally planted exotic trees or more recently planted, random groups of flowering natives.

BroadwayThe reserve along Broadway consists of a formal planting of mature Jacaranda mimosifolia with grass growing underneath.

��



Eton streetThis small reserve is set in the middle of a cul-de-sac with established Eucalyptus sp. Hakea sp. and a new planting of Jacaranda mimosifolia. Adjacent street tree planting includes Bottlebrush (Callistemon sp.) and Golden Rain Tree (Koelreutaria paniculata).

salisbury crescentWhite Cedar (Melia azedarach) and False Acacia (Robinia sp.) are planted in the central median with grass underneath. Some of the trees have been removed and are being replaced with young saplings.

The section of median adjacent to the roundabout has Red Ironbark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon) planted together with shrubs that include Duranta sp. and Viburnum sp.

West Parkway Mature False Acacia (Robinia sp.) are being inter-planted with young saplings of False Acacia into the grass median.

intersection of the strand and Freeling crescent (see the strand Reserve)

intersection of Kandahar crescent and tidworth crescent A mature Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) is planted in the middle of this triangular shaped reserve with grass planted beneath.

View streetFor much of the suburb’s history, until the 1980s there was a large open drain along the middle of View Street, between The Grove and Prince George Parade. The original intent was not to plant trees on the View Street boundary but to have a planting of trees in the laneways on the remaining eastern boundary of the suburb. This is clearly indicated in the Bird’s Eye perspective. The central median of View Street is planted with a variety of trees and large shrubs that includes Acacia sp., Callistemon sp., Eucalyptus sp., Melaleuca sp., and Cupressus sp. The large shrubs have been clipped to form a hedge with the large trees growing out of the hedge.

There are paved pedestrian crossovers in the middle and at each end of the median with treated pine timber post and rail fences. Adjacent street tree planting includes a variety of Eucalyptus sp.

ROUNDABOUTS WITH GARDENSintersection of West Parkway and salisbury crescentThis island reserve has four, mature Red Ironbark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon) planted at equal spacings around the edge of the roundabout and set in grass.

intersection of West Parkway and DoncasterThis roundabout has four ‘Keep Left’ signs set into a brick-patterned concrete edge. Behind this there is a raised planting bed with a red brick edge and planted with Bluebell Creeper (Sollya heterophylla) and Seaside Daisy (Erigeron karvinskianus).



5.13.2 HistoRyGarden Suburb design theorists recommended that garden plots be located at the termination of a vista to improve the appearance of the suburb. Simple rectangular beds were considered desirable although the need for rounded corners (to aid visibility for traffic) was frequently commented upon. The plants chosen for such beds were most often hardy flowering shrubs planted “en masse” Annuals and flowers did not serve so well32.

By 1922, the Annual Reports mention that a nursery, stocked with shrubs had been established. The shrubs were intended to be planted in the ornamental plots as soon as the ground had been prepared33. By 1923, the nursery was well established and several plots had been planted with what was described as “ornamental shrubs”34. By 1925, further shrubberies and lawns had been planted in the spaces set aside for them35.

By 1928, it was reported that “Progress had been made in planting the small garden plots at road junctions and elsewhere, as laid down in the original plan”. It was reported that grassing the plot and growing hardy shrubs had proved most successful36.

5.13.3 landscaping objEctivEsThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• The existing street garden reserves should be retained and regularly

maintained.• Future landscape treatment for these reserves should be consistent throughout

the suburb and should reflect the original/early landscape philosophy of formality and simplicity.

• Existing landscape treatment, which does not comply with the above objective, should be replaced.

• When the use of the former cinema at 501 Goodwood Road changes, or when the opportunity arises, Council should consider seeking the resumption for public use the adjacent garden reserve at the intersection of Rochester Avenue and Goodwood Road.

5.13.4 policy• Ornamental plots, street islands and roundabouts should be planted with grass

or suitable vegetation which provides a formal garden effect as a ground cover.• Roundabouts and abutments should be grassed with no additional planting.

The roundabout at the intersection of Doncaster Avenue and West Parkway should have the raised bed removed and be planted with suitable low formal plants.

• Street island reserves such as Broadway and View Street should be planted with exotic trees formally planted in straight rows in the centre of the islands.

• Where the original planting selection for an ornamental plot is not known, the plot should be planted with hardy trees and shrubs. Plant types selected should be those that have characteristics in common with the plants used by the Garden Suburb Commissioner in the 1920s.

• Where the original plant species are known but no longer remain, remove existing vegetation and replant with original species.

• The plantings of River Red Gums in Flinders Avenue, Freeling Crescent and Doncaster Avenue are to be reinforced with additional plantings as necessary.

��



• Plantings should be symmetrical and formal in design and easy to maintain whilst preserving an adequate line of sight for motorists.

• Reserves should be maintained by Council. • Where the original planting in a reserve, street island or ornamental plot is

recorded (see Table in Street Trees), replacement planting should use the same species (preferably advanced specimens), planted to reinforce the original planting pattern.

• When the use of the former cinema at 501 Goodwood Road changes, or where the opportunity arises, Council should consider the reinstatement of the adjacent garden reserve at the intersection of Rochester Avenue and Goodwood Road. Consideration should be made having regard to the legal context and the potential impact on the former cinema building. If the street garden is achieved, provide street tree planting as a continuation of the Rochester Avenue plantings.

General Notes on Garden Plots in Colonel Light GardensThe following individual plans for garden plots in Colonel Light Gardens set out the trees to be used at each location. The selection of each species has had regard to the climate, soil type, sightlines (where appropriate) and a plan to unify spaces within the suburb.

5.14 InteRnAL ReseRVes AnD InteRnAL PLAYgRoUnDs

5.14.1 dEscRiptionCurrently, there are eight internal reserves in Colonel Light Gardens. One is found off Pembroke Place, two exist between Salisbury Crescent and Tidworth Crescent, a further two are found between Tidworth Crescent and Grange Road and one is found between Lancaster and Rochester Avenues. A small reserve lies near the north eastern boundary of the suburb. For the purposes of the Conservation Management Plan, the eighth internal reserve, found at Portland Place, is treated as a Public Park and is dealt with in Section 5.15.6

The internal reserves are currently used in the following way:• Pembroke Place – tennis courts.• Lancaster and Rochester Avenues – tennis courts.• Eastern reserve between Salisbury Crescent and Tidworth Crescent – vacant.• Eastern reserve between Tidworth Crescent and Grange Road – community

garden.• Western reserve between Salisbury Crescent and Tidworth Crescent

– currently used, at the pleasure of Council, as private open space by abutting landowners.

• Western reserve between Tidworth Crescent and Grange Road – currently used, at the pleasure of Council, as private open space by abutting landowners

• reserve at north eastern boundary of the suburb - informal use

5.14.2 HistoRyReade’s original design for Colonel Light Gardens incorporated a series of internal reserves. Originally envisaged as a common space for residents of small means, (ie smaller landholdings) and as a safe playing space for children, these reserves were small allotments of vacant land located at the rear of a cluster of properties. The reserves generally had no street access and could only be accessed via lanes or through the back fence of adjoining properties. Reade envisaged that the controlling authority would retain the freehold of these small allotments but would allow the use of the land, at small rentals, for recreational or productive uses by the residents.

The eastern section of Colonel Light Gardens was laid out incorporating these reserves. However in 1924, the original plan of the southern portion of the suburb was revised to accommodate the Thousand Homes Scheme. The re-design of the suburb caused the deletion of the internal reserves located in the southern part of Colonel Light Gardens. No internal reserves were created in the later, western section of Colonel Light Gardens.

In the Annual Report of 1928, it was stated that 10 internal reserves had been created. Even by that time, it was reported that most of these reserves had been neglected as residents concentrated their efforts on their houses. By 1928, one reserve had been graded by its nearby residents and was used as two tennis courts. Two other reserves had been planted with shrubs and trees, children’s playground equipment had been established and tennis courts created37. By 1929, no additional internal reserves had been developed38.

During the following years, the fortunes of the internal reserves waxed and waned. By 1931, five blocks had been leased to tennis clubs and to the Scouts but by 1938, the blocks were in a neglected condition. A special Act of Parliament enabled the disposal of the internal reserves to adjoining property owners but

��



this was only taken up to a limited extent- the reserve on allotment 251 was sold and the reserve on allotment 203 developed as aged housing.

5.14.3 objEctivEsThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Retain the remaining internal reserves in public ownership for use by the

Colonel Light Gardens community.• No further subdivision or alienation of this public land should occur.• Reclaim annexed land for public use.

5.14.4 policy• The internal reserves should be used and developed as informal recreation and

open space areas for the use and enjoyment of residents, provided the use does not create any appreciable disturbance to nearby residents.

• Tree planting in the internal reserves should reflect the character and use of the reserve, being a mixture of formal and informal spaces.

• Laneways that connect to internal reserves should be clear and easily trafficable for pedestrians and/or vehicles depending on their use.

5.15 PUBLIC PARKs

5.15.1 MoRtlocK paRK

HISTORYIn Reade’s plan Mortlock Park, located near the corner of Goodwood and Springbank Roads, and at 10 acres in area, was to be the largest of the parks and was planned to contain an ornamental lake with a bridge and formal gardens as a grand entrance to the suburb. On the northern perimeter of the park and adjacent to the primary and proposed high school sites, a space was reserved for a children’s playground. Other than this defined usage, no particular sports were assigned to this park39.

Mortlock Park as it now exists was designed by town planner Walter Scott Griffiths and included a football and cricket oval, soccer ground, cycling track and tennis courts. A children’s playground was also planned with one side facing and linking into the school. By 1926, the northern section of the park which faced the primary school had been enclosed by a fence and graded. Two hard tennis courts existed by 1926 and two bitumen courts were being constructed40.

By 1927, it was reported that the space for a playing oval had been leveled and the construction of a mound commenced. The surrounding picket fence was soon to be erected, the labour supplied by the residents. The children’s playground was complete with equipment, a shelter and conveniences41.

In 1929 it was reported that 1500 Rhamnus hedge plants had been used on the Sturt Avenue side of the Park to form a hedge42.

DESCRIPTIONThe original structure of hedge planting is still legible around Mortlock Park although there are some significant gaps, particularly at the south-east corner where the site of the former basketball stadium highlights the openness. The future use of the grassed area that has replaced the stadium is unclear and the Melaleuca hedge contrasts with the original planting species of Rhamnus sp. and Carob (Ceratonia siliqua).

Mortlock Park c1930

��



The community building is the most visually dominant structure in the park together with the adjacent chain wire fencing used by the baseball club. The baseball club also has chain wire practice nets to the south of their playing field.

Car parks are yet to be softened by young tree planting and stretch along most of the southern edge of the park.

The arbour and paved area at the south-west corner of the park provides a formal pedestrian entrance to the reserve from Oxford Circus. Planting of new Plane Trees has begun throughout the reserve and adjacent to the arbour.

Play equipment in the northern section of Mortlock Park fits well amongst the deciduous trees with the original structure of the Windsor Avenue street trees still clearly evident.

Car parking and student drop-off areas are provided at either end of Windsor Avenue where the street has been closed to allow safer play for school children.

Mortlock Park is a predominantly open site with a variety of original tree and hedge planting together with newer plantings of Plane Trees (Platanus sp.), River Red Gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) and Red Ironbark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon).

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Mortlock Park should be maintained as the main recreation area within the

suburb of Colonel Light Gardens with a mix and range of formal and informal recreation uses.

• New major sporting clubrooms or other facilities requiring additional large areas of car parking for spectators and participants are not appropriate for Mortlock Park.

• Recreation use and development should provide both formal and informal activities to meet a range of needs and should not generate undue disturbance to nearby residents.

• New buildings and structures should be designed in scale and appearance to complement the predominantly single storey, residential character of development in the locality.

POLICY• Continue to implement the Mortlock Park Master Concept Plan as this

provides for the future use of the park by local sporting clubs and informal local community use.

• Refine the approved 1992 Mortlock Park Master Concept Plan and develop more detailed direction for the future of the Park

• Contain the use of the Gil Langley Building to ensure a level of usage that does not disturb nearby residents.

• In the medium to long term, Council should seek to ensure that over the whole of any year, a balance of informal and formal uses of the Park is achieved. This policy sits in the context that Mortlock Park in 2005 is at saturation point in terms of formal sporting use, and that as a guide, when existing clubs vacate Mortlock Park, new leases or licences will be entered into in order to strike a better balance.

• New buildings or facilities should be in scale with the surrounding residential development and school buildings and should be designed to complement the 1920s architecture of this section of the suburb.

• The scout and guide halls may be retained and may be extended whilst a local community need exists.

• Any new fencing associated with any individual sporting activities and associations should be removable and of a temporary nature for the duration of the sporting activity/season.

• New fencing used throughout the park shall be consistent with the pallette of materials used for fencing throughout Colonel Light Gardens.

• Access to recreation areas of Mortlock Park should be through established (hedge) openings on West Parkway, Sturt Avenue and Freeling Crescent and from Windsor Avenue to the north. Current street patterns should be utilised.

• The boundary hedges to Mortlock Park should be retained and reinforced with additional planting where gaps exist.

• No further alienation of public land for car parking purposes should occur.• Remove the existing Melaleuca sp. hedge opposite the Gil Langley Building

and replace with one of the original species.• Lighting throughout the park shall be consistent with the street and pedestrian

lighting used throughout Colonel Light Gardens. Floodlights for the ovals should be sited so as to cause minimal impact on the visual quality of the park.

• Consult with users of the park to determine the need for public toilets.



5.15.2 REadE paRK

HISTORYAt the northern end of the suburb, Reade allowed for the creation of a park that included three tennis courts, a bowls rink and a croquet lawn. Reade’s original design included a rotunda and gardens in the vicinity of an existing dam and a stand of eucalypts. The tennis courts etc were designed to be surrounded by hedges and flower borders43. Reade’s planned rotunda, and formal gardens did not eventuate.

But by 1926, 6 grass tennis courts and 12 hard courts had been constructed at the reserve now known as Reade Park. A small golf putting course had been established and it was planned to extend it to 18 holes as soon as the grass was sufficiently advanced44. The park was popular with residents. In the following year, 1927, it was reported that the park was used at weekends by 100 plus players45.

Bowling rinks (ie for six rinks) were established in the park in 1927-28 (and later shelters for bowlers) and a brick clubhouse built in 1931-32. This was replaced with a new clubhouse in 1959. A jarrah fence (since replaced) was also constructed facing the Flinders Avenue side of the Park.

DESCRIPTIONReade Park has 14 lawn tennis courts and 3 hard courts, 2 bowling greens and a croquet lawn. There is a clubhouse in the centre of the park with various smaller sheds and other buildings around the perimeter of the park.

The park has laneways on three sides with Flinders Avenue at the western boundary. The entrance to the tennis club is at the end of Hereford Place with the entrances for the bowling and croquet club on Flinders Avenue.

There is a small grassed area along the north-eastern edge of the park that has a variety of small trees within it and some play equipment.

The most impressive trees are the River Red Gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) at the north west corner. Hedges go around three sides of the park with mature Jacaranda mimosifolia and other deciduous trees adjacent to the laneways.

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Reade Park should provide a mix of recreation opportunities for residents.

• Given the close proximity of residences and the absence of off-street and restricted on-street car parking, future use levels should not exceed current levels.

• Maintain and develop Reade Park as a principal recreation and open space area providing formal and informal recreational activities for use and enjoyment by all residents.

• Recreation use and development should provide both formal and informal activities to meet a range of needs and should not generate undue disturbance to nearby residents.

• New buildings and structures should be designed in a scale and appearance to complement the predominantly single storey residential character of development in the locality.

POLICY• In order to realise the objective of a balance between formal and informal use

of Reade Park, Council will seek to reduce (as of 2005) over time the amount of space dedicated to formal use. As a guide, roughly no more than half of Reade Park should be dedicated to formal club use. This policy should be used as a guide by Council to decide the future of land when an existing club ceases to use land in Reade Park.

• Levels of use by clubs should not increase from present levels of use in weekly hours and months of use and in any case should not impact adversely on the amenity of nearby residents.

• Replace fence facing Flinders Avenue with a more traditional material fence ie crimped or ‘emu’ woven wire.

• Maintain the existing stand of Eucalypts in Flinders Avenue, which abuts the Reade Park fence.

• Provide an entry statement for Reade Park at the end of Hereford Place.• Maintain and replace existing hedges and tree planting along the boundaries.• Resurface the north-west laneway that is in poor condition.

5.15.3 Hill viEW REsERvE

HISTORYHill View Reserve or Playground, as it was then called, was planned by Walter Scott Griffiths when the western section was designed in 1926. By 1928, four tennis courts as well as playground equipment and a bandstand had been constructed amidst lawns46.

In the Annual Report of 1930-31, it was reported that the bandstand that had been located on Hill View Reserve had been relocated to Light Place47. Following the removal of the bandstand, a small hall was constructed on the reserve in c1930. It is surrounded by plantings of white cedars.

DESCRIPTIONHill View Reserve is predominantly used by the Colonel Light Gardens West Tennis Club which has its club rooms in the reserve with tennis courts facing both Penang and Rozells Avenue. There is a gazebo that is available for public use and an old toilet block.

Other facilities include seats and play equipment.

At the front of the reserve there is a small hall. Planting throughout the reserve consists of mature White Cedar (Melia azedarach) growing in grass.

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Hill View Reserve should continue to provide recreation opportunities for

residents.• Given the close proximity of residences and the absence of off-street and

restricted on-street car parking, future use levels should generally not increase above current levels and in any case should not adversely impact on the amenity of the locality.

• Provide safe playing space for the neighbourhood’s children.• Maintain and develop Hill View Reserve as a principal recreation and open

space area providing formal and informal recreational activities for use and enjoyment by all residents.

• Recreation development should provide both formal and informal activities to meet a range of needs and should not generate undue disturbance to nearby residents.

• New buildings and structures should be designed in a scale and appearance to complement the predominantly single storey residential character of development in the locality.

POLICY• Maintain existing uses and ambience of the reserve.• Provide a new entry statement and signage, arbour and planting with a new

fence to Penang Avenue.• Formalise entry and access with a path system that links the activities within

the reserve.• Provide further tree planting to reinforce the existing structure within the

reserve.



• New tree planting should be selected and located in order that recreation space is maximised, views are maintained to tennis courts from the clubrooms, and damage does not occur to court surfaces.

• Demolish the existing toilet block and provide new facilities.• Upgrade existing lighting where required with new Colonel Light Gardens

standard fittings and poles.

5.15.4 ligHt placE

HISTORYLight Place was planned by Walter Scott Griffiths as part of the Thousand Homes Scheme and forms a major element of the entrance to the extension of Colonel Light Gardens. The reserve was developed as a public square for Colonel Light Gardens residents in the 1930s-40s.

In the Annual Report of 1930-31, it was reported that the bandstand that had been located on Hill View Reserve had been relocated to Light Place48.

DESCRIPTIONLight Place is a formal park with a recently constructed bandstand located at the centre of the open, rectangular site. The design of the bandstand was based on the one reconstructed on the site (see above). There is a sundial set at the front of the bandstand.

Original tree planting is still evident along the western edge of the park with a row of White Cedars (Melia azedarach). Other planting throughout the park includes a variety of Eucalyptus sp. planted randomly.

There are 2 pathways that provide pedestrian access from east to west and they each have pedestrian lighting.

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Light Place should be maintained as a formal community meeting place and

passive recreation area. Light Place should be formally landscaped as the entrance to the western section of Colonel Light Gardens.

• Light Place Reserve should continue to provide low level recreation opportunities for residents.

• Recreation development should not result in undue disturbance to nearby residents.

POLICY• Maintain grass cover to reserve.• Establish formal tree planting of Plane trees in the original crescent shape

intended for the park.• Frame the vista from Goodwood Road with two pillar lights.• Upgrade the existing pedestrian lighting with the new Colonel Light Gardens

standard.• Standardise furniture and urban design elements to maintain consistency with

the remainder of Colonel Light Gardens.• Retain and maintain the bandstand. Consider lighting of the bandstand in

order to improve visibility and reduce vandalism.• Reinforce the existing rows of Plane trees between Light Place and Goodwood

Road with a further planting of Plane trees in the park, in the median of Goodwood Road and through to Piccadilly Circus to provide a tangible link between the eastern and western sections of Colonel Light Gardens.

• Maintain open, unrestricted access to Light Place.• No further built structures should be established.

5.15.5 KEnt REsERvE

HISTORYThe three allotments that form the basis of Kent Reserve were set aside for public use after the Thousand Homes scheme was created.

DESCRIPTIONKent Reserve has a different character from most other public open space within Colonel Light Gardens due to the topography and planting which is predominantly varieties of tall Eucalyptus sp., plantings of this type were popular in the 1980s. There is also a range of play equipment, picnic benches and seats set on the grass underneath the trees.

Kent Road has been closed and extends along the north-west boundary of the reserve. There is very little street tree planting on this section of the road and a Stobie pole is the dominant element at the corner where the road is closed. A concrete unit paver path weaves along the reserve edge of the street and through tall Eucalyptus sp.

There is a low fence around the south-east edge of the reserve adjacent to the play equipment with a row of new pedestrian lights along Hastings Road.

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Kent Reserve should continue to provide recreation opportunities for residents.• Given the close proximity of residences and the absence of off-street and

restricted on-street car parking, future use levels should not exceed current levels.

• Provide a safe playing space for the neighbourhood’s children.• Maintain and develop Kent Reserve as a principal recreation and open space

area providing informal recreational activities for use and enjoyment by all residents.

• Recreation development should meet a range of needs and should not generate undue disturbance to nearby residents.

• Kent Reserve should be maintained as a low key informal recreation area and developed to enhance the open space character and appearance of the reserve.

POLICY• Maintain grass cover to reserve.• Establish formal tree planting on the reserve side of Sturt Avenue, Kent Road

and Hastings Road.• Replace existing pedestrian lights with the new standard to maintain

consistency throughout Colonel Light Gardens.• Retain the existing character of tall Eucalyptus sp. in grass.• Install a new Pillar light in the centre of the road closure to terminate the

vista along Kent Road and announce the park with ornamental planting and signage.

• Standardise furniture and urban design elements to maintain consistency with the remainder of Colonel Light Gardens.

• Refit the existing fence with detailing consistent with the pallet of fence materials used throughout Colonel Light Gardens.

• Upgrade lighting to improve safety where necessary using selected fittings.• No further built structures should be established.

5.15.6 poRtland placE

HISTORYThis was designated in Reade’s plan and, like the internal reserves, was intended for community recreational use. In the 1940s when some residents attempted to purchase portions adjacent to their properties they claimed that it was used mainly for the dumping of rubbish and that tall summer grasses were a fire hazard. In 1945 the Garden Suburb Commissioner approved the erection of a new Scout hall on the reserve. Neighbours complained about the noise and towards the end of 1946 the hall was moved to its current location at Mortlock Park. The reserve was used by a local nurseryman for the raising of citrus stock in 1966-68, possibly into the 1970s49.

DESCRIPTIONPortland Place Reserve is a small reserve with a new entry statement and front fence. There are various pieces of play equipment including a seesaw, swing and backhoe set in both soft fall and sand.

There is a young Plane Tree at the front of the reserve with a variety of large and small Eucalyptus sp. planted randomly throughout. On the eastern fence there is a raised planting bed that is retained by moss rocks. Plants in the bed include Diosma, Erigeron, Lavender and Rosemary.

Laneways enter at the rear of the reserve. They have wide gates, presumably to allow maintenance vehicles to enter.

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Portland Place Reserve should continue to provide recreation opportunities

for residents.• Given the close proximity of residences and the absence of off-street and


• Provide safe playing space for the neighbourhood’s children.• Maintain and develop Portland Place Reserve as a principal recreation and

open space area providing informal recreational activities for the use and enjoyment by all residents.

• Recreation development should provide for informal activities to meet a range of needs and should not generate undue disturbance to nearby residents.

• Structures should be designed in scale and appearance to complement the single storey residential character of the locality.

POLICY• Maintain grass cover to reserve.• Establish formal tree planting along the street edge.• Consolidate play equipment into sandpit and soft fall areas.• Maintain random planting of Eucalyptus sp. in the reserve.• Standardise furniture and urban design elements to maintain consistency with

the remainder of Colonel Light Gardens.

5.15.7 ludgatE ciRcus

HISTORYLudgate Circus (and Oxford Circus) were originally planned as secondary formal entrances (to Piccadilly Circus) to the suburb. They were planned by Reade to be crescent shaped and bisected by a road and planted with gardens on either side. Ludgate Circus was developed by 1925.

In 1966-67, the diagonal roads that ran through both Ludgate Circus and Oxford Circus were closed for safety reasons.

DESCRIPTIONEucalyptus sp. are planted around the perimeter of Ludgate Circus with 2 large Poplars (Populus alba) located on either side of the reserve. In the north-western corner there is a large Olive Tree (Olea europaea). All of the trees are planted in grass.

There is a bus stop on Grange Road and a sign frame at the north-west corner of the reserve that has removable signs temporarily fixed to it.

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Establish Ludgate Circus as the northern formal entrance to Colonel Light

Gardens.• Reinstate the original form of the entry road through Ludgate Circus.• Open up the entrance to Colonel Light Gardens.

POLICY• Delineate former alignment of bisecting road with formal tree planting and

pathway.• Maintain grass cover to reserve.• Establish formal tree planting to perimeter.• Provide an entry statement for Colonel Light Gardens with entry pillars,

signage, hedging and ornamental planting beds• Install a Pillar light to terminate the vista from the Goodwood and Grange

intersection into Colonel Light Gardens.• Standardise furniture and urban design elements to maintain consistency with

the remainder of Colonel Light Gardens.• Install seating along the central path and beneath the feature trees.

5.15.8 oxfoRd ciRcus

HISTORYOxford Circus, (like Ludgate Circus) was originally planned as a secondary formal entrance to the suburb. It was similarly crescent-shaped and bisected by a road, planted with gardens on either side. Oxford Circus had been planted with trees and shrubs by 1930.

DESCRIPTIONOxford Circus is at the south-west corner of Colonel Light Gardens and has street tree planting of Elm (Ulmus sp.). There are 2 large Poplars (Populus alba) in the northern half of the reserve and a variety of Eucalyptus sp. planted at random throughout. Recent plantings of Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) are planted in a formal row along the axis of the old access road and at other locations. Other species include Ash (Fraxinus sp.), Hakea sp. and Bracelet Honey Myrtle (Melaleuca armillaris).

The area is used by the adjacent St. Therese School for general play and has a cricket net on the eastern edge of the reserve. There is a 1.2 metre ARC fence around the majority of the site to prevent easy access on to the adjacent roads. Other features include a gravel pathway through the centre of the site, seats and a drinking fountain.

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Maintain and reinforce Oxford Circus as a visual entrance to the suburb, but

of secondary importance to Ludgate Circus. • Establish Oxford Circus as the southern formal entrance to Colonel Light

Gardens.• Reinstate the original form of the entry road through Oxford Circus.• Open up the entrance to Colonel Light Gardens.

POLICY• Delineate former alignment of bisecting road with formal tree planting and

pathway.• Maintain grass cover to reserve.• Establish formal tree planting to perimeter.• Provide an entry statement for Colonel Light Gardens with entry pillars,

signage, hedging and ornamental planting beds.• Install a pillar light to terminate the vista from the Goodwood Road and

Springbank Road intersection into Colonel Light Gardens.• Standardise furniture and urban design elements to maintain consistency with

the remainder of Colonel Light Gardens.• Install seating along the central path and beneath the feature trees.• Replace existing fencing with standard design. Any fencing along Goodwood

and Springbank Roads is to meet the standard required by Transport SA.• Remove cricket practice nets.

5.15.9 piccadilly ciRcus

HISTORYPiccadilly Circus was intended to be the main entrance to the suburb. It was planned that the streets would radiate from the Circus into the suburb and that the garden spaces of the Circus would be planted with formal gardens. It was proposed to locate public toilets and a tram passenger shelter in the Circus.

In the year of 1938-39, the Annual Report commented that Piccadilly Circus had been subdivided and prepared for the sale of an additional 20 blocks for housing50.

The visual impact of this formal entrance into Colonel Light Gardens as intended by Reade and its expression of the objectives of Reade’s design were lost when this land was subdivided and developed for housing. For this reason, emphasis should be directed towards the secondary entrances, most importantly Ludgate and then Oxford Circus.



5.15.10 doncastER REsERvE

HISTORYThis triangle of land was included in Reade’s plan but set aside by the Garden Suburb Commissioner as the ‘Mitcham Camp Memorial Site’. A flagpole was erected after World War 1 but the site was not developed. The RSL conducts its annual Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services there. In 1962 the Commissioner approved a site lease to the Mothers and Babies Health Association and an infant health clinic was constructed at a sufficient distance from the flagpole to allow services to continue. At the RSL’s request the building was called a ‘War Memorial’ centre.51. It was made ‘surplus to needs’ in 1996 and following community consultation was demolished in 1998. The present war memorial was constructed in 1986.

DESCRIPTIONDoncaster Reserve terminates the vista when looking east from Goodwood Road along the mature gum tree-lined Doncaster Avenue. A Stobie pole and street light are situated centrally at the western edge of the reserve.

The reserve contains an RSL memorial to the original Mitcham Camp during WW1. There are flagpoles, with a concrete path connecting the memorial and the flagpoles together. The path was used for access to the recently demolished building. There is a timber post and galvanised pipe rail fence around three sides of the reserve with timber bollards on the other side.

Planting in the reserve consists of 2 mature Poplar Trees (Populus sp.), new plantings of Jacaranda mimosifolia, Melia azedarach and a single planting of Pine (Pinus sp.) originating from the Lone Pine from Gallipoli. These trees are all growing in grass with benches underneath the Poplars.

OBJECTIVESThe objectives for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb are:• Maintain and reinforce Doncaster Reserve as a focal point at the end of

Doncaster Avenue.• Doncaster Reserve should continue to provide low level recreation

opportunities for residents.• Given the close proximity of residences and the absence of off-street and


• Reinforce the formal axis through the reserve and the location of the memorial.

POLICY• Remove the existing Stobie pole and light and replace with a Pillar light to

terminate the vista.• Remove the existing paving and provide a new path and paving system

that reinforces the formality of the site and provides new opportunities for ornamental planting.

• Remove the Poplars and add further planting of Jacaranda mimosifolia.• Retain seating below shade trees.• Reinforce boundary definition eg post and wire fencing

5.15.11 tHE stRand REsERvE

HISTORYThe Strand Reserve was originally a triangular island reserve with formal rows of street trees on each edge. In the centre of the reserve there was a formal ring of Poplar Trees that gave the reserve a distinct character. It also had trimmed hedge and shrub planting throughout.

Traffic safety requirements led to The Strand itself being closed at the eastern end. The planting also changed over time with very little of the original formality remaining.

DESCRIPTIONThis reserve has 2 mature Ash (Fraxinus sp.) placed at either end with semi-formal planting of Eucalyptus sp. throughout and Brush Box (Lophostemon conferta) as street trees on Freeling Crescent. New planting of Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) have been planted on the southern side of The Strand.

It has benches and rubbish bins with a path extending along the northern edge that connects to Prince George Parade.

OBJECTIVESThe objective for the conservation of the heritage value of this element within the suburb is:• Formalise planting within the Strand Reserve and maintain as a low-level

recreation space for residents.

POLICY• Maintain grass cover to reserve.• Establish formal tree plantings of deciduous trees on Freeling Crescent.• Provide a Pillar light at the north east corner with paving, and ornamental

planting/element to terminate the vista along Prince George Parade.• Retain the Ash (Fraxinus sp.) trees and plant a ring of fastigiate trees that

reflect the original planting intention of Poplar Trees.• Standardise furniture and urban design elements to maintain consistency with

the remainder of Colonel Light Gardens.• Provide seating underneath the 2 Ash trees with the new standard Colonel

Light Gardens seat.

6.1 PReVIoUs stUDIesThe City of Mitcham commissioned a traffic study in 1996 (Murray F Young & Associates Pty Ltd: Traffic Study, Colonel Light Gardens, August 1996), which followed on from a preliminary study by the same consultants in September 1994.

A limited number of minor traffic controls were recommended in the study, which addressed specific concerns raised by the residents. It is worth noting however that the study quotes the residents of Colonel Light Gardens as not wishing to impose “vast traffic control schemes”52.

From 1 March 2003 a lower maximum speed limit (50km/hr) took effect on non-arterial roads across the State. This reduction in speed applies to Colonel Light Gardens. Whilst some of the recommendations within the 1996 Study will remain valid, it is suggested that, prior to installing any physical traffic control devices, the impact of the lower maximum speed limit be fully assessed and that the recommendations be reassessed accordingly.

6.2 stReet PAtteRn

OBJECTIVESThe objective for the conservation of the traditional street pattern within the suburb is:• Retain the original street pattern and avoid the introduction of inappropriate

traffic management devices.

POLICY• Assess the existing introduced traffic management devices as a result of the

lower maximum speed limit within the suburb.• Remove superfluous traffic safety devices, protuberances, islands, signage etc.• Avoid the introduction of additional devices that diminish the integrity of the

original street layout and detail.
