6 REPORTS OF THE CEO

6.1 LAKE CLAREMONT OPERATIONAL PLAN 2018-19 PROGRESS REPORT

File No: PRK/00136-02

Attachments: Lake Claremont Operational Plan 2018-19 (Attachment 1)

Responsible Officer: Saba Kirupananther Director Infrastructure

Author: Jared Bray Supervisor Parks and Environment

Proposed Meeting Date: 15 November 2018

Purpose

To update the Lake Claremont Advisory Committee (LCAC) on all activities occurring at Lake Claremont from October 2018 to January 2019.

Background

A number of activities which are identified in the Lake Claremont Operational Plan have been completed or are in planning for the Lake Claremont precinct. These include the items listed below:

Path Pruning

Fire Break Pruning

Bushfire Hazard Reduction

Tree Buffer Spraying

Typha Control

4th viewing corridor site inspection

Limestone path meeting

Fertilising of turf areas

Tamarix removal

Fence surrounding proposed planting area near FOLC shed

Seats near Lakeway street

Discussion

Path Pruning Overhanging trees along the paths surrounding the lake have been pruned to provide clear access and safe passage. This work has been completed by Town’s field staff as part of scheduled maintenance. Fire Break Pruning Officers have completed the inspections of fire breaks and completed a small amount of pruning and clearing. More work will be completed on the fire breaks in the coming weeks by contractors as part of the bushfire hazard reduction, and


Page 3

this work will ensure we have adequate clearances which are required by Department of Fire and Emergency Services. Bushfire Hazard Reduction During November 2018 contractors will be engaged to improve fire breaks adjacent to houses. An ecologist has been engaged to oversee the works to limit disruption to the bushland. This work is required in conjunction with the bushfire management plan. Tree Buffer Spraying Contractors have sprayed and created a buffer surrounding the newly planted trees along the red asphalt shared path, east side of the lake. The Town will then mulch the area surrounding the trees. Typha control Typha in the lake bed will be controlled by the weed control contractor during the coming rounds of weed control with further follow up occurring once water levels recede. 4th viewing corridor site inspection A site meeting was arranged represented by two LCAC members and an officer from the Town to determine the viability of a 4th viewing corridor. It was agreed on minor dead wooding of trees to facilitate the viewing corridor. Limestone path near the shed At the same meeting for the corridor inspection the requirements for a limestone path from the shed to the red path was investigated. It was agreed that a limestone path approx. 40m long is required from the red path to the paperbark trees only, as the area in front of the shed is sufficiently firm enough with existing limestone. Fertilising of turf areas Contractors will be applying an organic fertiliser and wetting agent to the turf areas surrounding Lake Claremont. The product being applied is Baileys energy turf and Grosorb granular wetting agent, application is planned for mid-November. Tamarix removal Funding will be requested in the mid-year budget review to remove the eleven Tamarix surrounding the FOLC shed if the FOLC grant application for revegetation is successful. Fence surrounding proposed planting area near FOLC shed Funding will be requested in the mid-year budget review to install fencing around the proposed planting area surrounding the FOLC shed if the FOLC grant application is successful.

6.2 MT CLAREMONT OVAL HOCKEY PITCH PROPOSAL


Attachments: Mt Claremont Oval – Westside Wolves Hockey Club Proposal (Attachment 1)

Responsible Officer: Liz Ledger Chief Executive Officer

Author: Saba Kirupananther Director Infrastructure


Purpose

For the Committee to consider the information regarding the proposal for a synthetic hockey pitch at Mt Claremont Oval and allow opportunity for providing feedback to the City of Nedlands within the consultation period.

Background

As taken from the City of Nedlands’ Website; https://yourvoice.nedlands.wa.gov.au/mt-claremont-oval-proposal-from-westside-wolves-hockey-club ‘The City of Nedlands wishes to understand the level of community support for the project, which would see the club use 0.9ha of the 4.2ha oval (about 21 per cent) for their permanent home. Originating from the 1930s, the Westside Wolves Hockey Club caters for people of all ages in the western suburbs and has more than 1,700 members – but no permanent home. At the same time, the facilities will still be available for other community groups and other various community activities. This consultation will assist with the decision-making process on whether to approve a period for the hockey club to further investigate and develop a detailed proposal and business plan. The club has developed a concept plan for permanent hockey facilities, including a synthetic pitch, parking and clubrooms, and has been working with the City of Nedlands to find a suitable venue. For this proposal to proceed, any future arrangements need to be negotiated with the existing clubs and organisations that currently use the oval including the Western Suburbs and Swanbourne Cricket Clubs, Claremont-Nedlands Cricket Club, UWA Nedlands Football Club, Claremont Jets and Mt Claremont Primary School.

https://yourvoice.nedlands.wa.gov.au/mt-claremont-oval-proposal-from-westside-wolves-hockey-club



Page 7

There may also be potential impacts on people who use the oval for passive recreation such as walking and exercising dogs. Ultimately, the City's wants to know if this is the right thing for the community. This engagement project closes 5pm on 19 November 2018 with the community engagement outcomes being reported to Council in December.’ As this is in the stormwater catchment zone of Lake Claremont careful consideration needs to be given to the impacts it may have on the water quality at the Lake. Further to this the development will also impact land use directly surrounding Lake Claremont in a number of other ways.

Discussion

Artificial hockey turf surfaces require around 9,500kL/Ha of ground water per year to make them playable as metered by City of Joondalup at Warwick Hockey Centre and conveyed to all Perth Metro Parks Managers. The artificial turf play area is of similar size to that proposed in Mt Claremont. The water use is well above the annual allocation provided to each groundwater license which is currently set at 7,500kL/Ha per year by Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. This is also far higher than future proposed reductions in groundwater allocations which are estimated to be lowered to 6,000kL/Ha per annum by 2030. This future volume of groundwater will provide enough irrigation water for grass but not for artificial turf. As the surface begins to deteriorate the fine plastics can break away (around 5-10% per annum – see http://www.kimointernational.org/feature/microplastic-pollution-from-artificial-grass-a-field-guide/) and become fine plastic particles (micro plastics) which will get into the local stormwater system which is directly connected to Lake Claremont, a conservation category wetland. Ground water use could be reduced by recycling all water on site and stormwater carrying micro plastics could potentially be captured using a particle filtration system. The proposal will provide a purpose built home ground facility for the Westside Wolves Hockey Club and facilitate ‘A’ grade, state and national competition games to be played in the local area. Currently Westside Wolves use Cresswell Park as their home ground and club rooms and they share the facility with the Claremont Nedlands Cricket Club. Both clubs are highly patronised. All active playing surfaces in western suburbs and in Perth metro are in high demand. There is a need for new areas to be developed for active sports. Dividing the Mt Claremont Oval up for artificial turf would reduce the useability of the site for other sporting codes such as the three cricket clubs, one soccer and one gridiron club and the local primary school.

6.3 LAKE CLAREMONT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING FREQUENCY


Attachments: Lake Claremont Advisory Committee Terms of Reference (Attachment 1)




Purpose

For the Committee to review the twelve month trial of Lake Claremont Advisory Committee (LCAC) meeting frequency.

Background

At the committee meeting on 24 August 2017, the LCAC resolved; That the Lake Claremont Advisory Committee requests Council to alter the meeting schedule from quarterly formal meetings with informal meetings in between to 6 bi-monthly formal meetings per year. The Notice of Motion was submitted by the Chair of the LCAC for the frequency of meetings to be increased to bi-monthly for the reason that Council is unable to receive the advice from the Committee’s informal meetings. Additional formal meetings would enable Council to receive advice in a timely manner for which the committee was established. At the Committee meeting on 24 August 2017, officers advised the Committee that considerable time goes into preparing the reports, agendas, minutes and planning and organising the meetings mainly to comply with the Local Government Act 1995 requirements. This was acknowledged by members of the Committee. Time spent by officers totals around twenty hours for each meeting to undertake the above tasks. The committee felt that three months between meetings is too long to allow regular feedback on items of interest and that more frequent meetings would reduce the time of each meeting. The Chair suggested a reduction in officers present at the meeting from three down to two would help reduce demand of officer time however much of the time taken is in writing the reports, compiling the necessary attachments, agendas and completing minutes post meeting. Other Advisory Committee meetings including Audit and Risk Management, Claremont Town Centre, Foreshore and Freshwater Bay Museum, are scheduled quarterly to provide suitable advice to Council.


Page 11

The Council supported a trial period for twelve months during 2018 and be reviewed at the end of the twelve month period.

Discussion

The bimonthly trial for twelve months would have allowed an opportunity for the administration, the committee and the Council to review the situation. Over the last twelve months the meeting frequency have been bimonthly to allow information to filter to OCM more often as desired by LCAC. The current practice is for items requiring a Council decision to be reported to OCM prior to confirmation of committee minutes. Reducing the frequency back to quarterly would be a more efficient way of providing the same level of advice back to Council. Timing of budget items and operational plan is critical to occur in late summer/autumn to facilitate implementation from July 2019. Also as the site is nearing completion of new planting areas and many of the major projects such as the Lake Claremont Management Plan development, Play space, Picnic and BBQ facilities have been undertaken now, there is little need for additional meetings. Reverting back to the quarterly meeting frequency would also tie in better with the quarterly Bird Counts and allow the Friends of Lake Claremont (FOLC) to provide reports four times as opposed to six times a year. The FOLC use a newsletter to provide monthly updates to the community about what is happening at the site and this is sent to all LCAC members. If needed additional communication from the administration could be provided to the LCAC members by providing an update of operational plan progress in between meetings via an email on request. This would alleviate the need for the LCAC informal meetings which were previously occurring between the formal meetings.

Past Resolutions

Ordinary Council Meeting [19 September 2017], (Resolution Number:137/17): That Council support; 1. A twelve-month trial of six bi-monthly Lake Claremont Advisory Committee meetings, and

2. Removal of the informal committee meetings during this period.

6.4 EXTENSION OF DOG EXERCISE AREA AT LAKE CLAREMONT





Purpose

To allow the committee to provide feedback to Council on the proposed changes to dog exercise area at Lake Claremont currently being advertised for this and other proposed changes to the Dogs in Public Places Policy LV133.

Background

At the 7 August 2018 Council meeting, Council approved advertising of the amended Dogs in Public Places Policy LV133, seeking public comment on proposed changes to dog exercise areas and prohibited dog areas within the Town. The Dog Act 1976 requires the Town to give 28 days’ notice of its intention to specify dog prohibited areas or dog off lead exercise areas and seek public comment. The public comments and submissions period is from Saturday 10

November to Monday 10 December 2018.

Discussion

Advertising for public comment and the amendment to the Dogs in Public Places Policy LV133 by the Town is being publicised through: • Advertisement in local news papers • Town’s website The current dog exercise area at Lake Claremont is bordered as shown in “red” in the image below. The area comprises approximately 34,000m², runs 150 metres at its widest point (east-west) and 280 metres at its longest (north-south).

The expanded area reflects a further 11,000m² in area which will provide a total of 4.5 hectares or 11 acres of dog exercise area within the parkland.

Expansion of the area to the south is possible however will require establishment of a full boundary to the south, and boundary infills to


Page 14

the west and east to clearly delineate the dog exercise area. These areas are marked in yellow in the image and can be provided through low lying natural vegetation as used in the current dog exercise area within the parkland. Natural vegetation is recommended as it maintains the landscape of the parkland and is significantly less expensive. The vegetation comprises of an approximately 6 metre wide mulched strip with ground cover/ low shrub and trees within gaps to create a delineation.

The expansion of the current dog exercise area will provide owners additional space to exercise their dogs and provide a closer link to the activity area at the south end of the parkland.

The proposal to extend the current dog exercise area at the Lake has been requested by some parkland users. Similarly, the Town is aware that other parkland users do not support the proposal to extend the dog exercise area. Another way to increase patronage of the existing exercise area would be to fence it to provide protection for dogs. This will stop them from running out in front of cars on adjacent roads. This concern has previously been raised by dog owners who choose not to use this area for dog exercise. The Committee could make a recommendation for Council to consider with other submissions to make an informed decision.

Past Resolutions

Ordinary Council Meeting [7 August 2018], Resolution 136/18 That Council: 1. Amend the Draft Dogs in Place Places Policy LV133 (Attachment 3) within the report to include extension of the Lake Claremont Parkland Dog Exercise Area south to the north end of Elliott Road as described on page 9 of the Report and detailed in item 8 (page 4) of Attachment 2 – Dog Exercise Areas and Prohibited Dog Areas. The southern and western boundaries to be planted with shrubs and trees to identify the boundaries. 2. Advertise the amended Draft Policy Dogs in Public Places LV133 (Attachment 3) and map (Attachment 4) for public comment for a period of 28 days 3. Receive a further report for consideration following the submission/ public comment period.

CARRIED

Ordinary Council Meeting 21 June 2016, Resolution No. 97/16:

That Council approves the proposal to amend the Dogs in Public Places Policy LV133 to include the extension of the dog exercise area south to the proposed Lakeway Street parking area at Lake Claremont.

CARRIED


Page 15


There are no current resources allocated, will need to be considered as part of next budgetary process. If fencing of the current area is supported by Council the costs involved would be as follows;

Black pool style fencing as at Mofflin Park would be $124,000

The same fencing used throughout Lake Claremont would be in the order of $26,000.

To extend the area, mulch and plant additional low plantings and trees to delineate the new area will cost in the order of $20,000.


Dog Act 1976 Section 31 Dogs in Public Places Policy LV133


The Town is required to give 28 days’ notice of its intention to specify dog prohibited areas or dog off lead exercise areas and seek public comment.

It is being advertised for public comment through:
