3            (A)         Public Question Time and Receiving of Public Statements

The following is a summary of questions and submissions received and responses provided at the meeting. This is not a verbatim record of comments made at the meeting.

 

1.         Pamela Fruin of Perth – Item 11.3

·         Speaking on behalf of her mother that lives at Rosewood Aged Care.

·         Stated that there are over 120 residents at Rosewood Aged Care.

·         Concerned with the matching of the City’s Strategic Community Plan objectives with the proposed land swap as it appears that access to Rosewood is now via an unpaved accessway between Wavertree Place and Brentham Sreet and will be restricted, as the school boundary will be extended so that it abutts the aged care facility.

·         Given that residents are mobility impaired, there is a need for people to be able to walk around under the shade, walking via the playground.

·         Concerned that residents will not be able to access the small park.

·         Queried the consultation process and suggested that the elderly have been ignored in the consultation process.

·         Stated that she didn’t understand why the pedestrian access was only being raised now as a risk.

·         Stated that the proposed land swap should be rejected and instead a pedestrian access way be paved for residents of Rosewood.

The Presiding Member Mayor Emma Cole thanked Ms Fruin for her comments and provided the following advice as provided by the CEO:

 

“ The City’s Administration met with representatives of Sisters of Mercy, Catholic Education of Western Australia, Aranmore Catholic Primary School and Rosewood Aged Care to discuss Rosewood’s concerns about the land exchange. At the meeting it was agreed that Rosewood would support the proposed land exchange subject to Rosewood Aged Care, Catholic Education and Sisters of Mercy entering into an agreement to establish communication and consultation protocols for issues that arise as a result of the direct interface between the school and aged care facility. There will be a consultation process for any proposed changes in the nature of the use, including any development proposals or plans for the use and access to the park and complaint management. Through consensus there has been an agreement reached between Rosewood and Sisters of Mercy. In respect to access, the City will look into providing a gate wth direct access into the park. The City already has in the budget funds for a pathway into Brentham Reserve and Rosewood would be consulted as to how to maximise the use of that pathway by residents of Rosewood.”

 

2.         Alex Hemsley of Claremont  – Item 11.7

·         Acting for Kidz Galore.

·         Commented that it would not be difficult to remove the Deed of Trust from Lot 9.

·         Asked Council Members to consider the impact to childcare at the location if the recommendations are adopted.

·         Requested a meeting between legal representatives.

The Presiding Member Mayor Emma Cole thanked Mr Hemsley for his comments

 

3.         Helena Placaski of Perth – Item 9.3

·         Lives opposite Hyde Park.

·         Raised issues with food trucks in the area, especially humming of generators early in the morning.

·         Commented tht food trucks are acting like cafes and there are issues with noise and bright lights.

·         Stated that she received advice that Council would have to apply for approval for commercial activity in the park.

·         Stated that on 24 April 2019 she spoke with the City about the issue and has not had a response.

·         Queried whether the heritage listing of Hyde Park would need to be considered when approving commercial activity/food trucks in the park.

·         Stated that there is not a requirement for food trucks given the bricks and mortar businesses around the area.

The Presiding Member Mayor Emma Cole thanked Ms Placaski for her comments

 

There being no further speakers, Public Question Time closed at approximately 6.17pm.

(B)         Response to Previous Public Questions Taken On Notice

5            The Receiving of Petitions, Deputations and Presentations

The Coucil received the following deputation:

 

5.1     Sister Eileen Daffy of Melbourne – Item 11.3

·         Stated she was representing the land owner, Sisters of Mercy, who hold this land in the company McAuley Property Limited, a not-for-profit company registered as a charity. This company holds the land in Australia used by the Sisters of Mercy for their charitable works in education, health and aged care and welfare. Catholic Education Archdiocese Perth, at the request of the Sisters of Mercy, manages the school –Aranmore Catholic Primary School.

·         Stated that Sisters of Mercy entered into discussion with the City of Vincent because:

·         The boundaries between Sisters of Mercy and City of Vincent were unclear because of fence locations. This presented a significant liability to both parties;

·         Also the small piece of land leased by the school from City of Vincent is due to expire at end of 2020; and

·         It was opportune to discuss a range of possibilities with the city rather than just adjust fencing. Aligning the fence to the boundary would have a significant impact on the large park area at the rear of the school. The public are not aware that a part of what appears to be POS actually does not belong to the City.

·         Stated that Sisters of Mercy discussed with City of Vincent staff various options to retain the same amount of parkland and enable the school to operate on a single site thus improving child safety issues with fencing to demarcate boundaries.

·         Stated that the proposed arrangement with the City of Vincent is to:

·         Swap equal amounts of land; and

·         Undertake a joint survey at Sisters of Mercy cost and a joint land valuation.

·         Sisters of Mercy has consulted with Catholic Education regarding future plans for the school and impact on current activities.

·         Stated that there was a joint communication plan with the City of Vincent regarding informing the school community – and the majority but not all residents within the City.

·         Stated that Rosewood’s objections and the issues raised at Council Briefing had now been addressed:

·         Small portion of Rosewood property would abut the school and issues regarding interaction between students and residents were raised by Rosewood. Sisters of Mercy operate 35 residential aged care facilities plus a number of Retirement Villages across Australia including six in WA. Four of these facilities including two in Perth abut education facilities – kindergarten, primary school, secondary school. Sisters of Mercy have not experienced any difficulties. All facilities have intergenerational programs most of which involve some interaction with an educational facility. Recently constructed and redeveloped Sisters of Mercy residential aged care facilities have built into them areas to encourage such interaction. Aranmore Primary has such a program with Rosewood as part of its current strategic plan.

·         Fence – type of fence on Rosewood boundary is considered a suitable school boundary fence. Meets guidelines issued by Catholic Education WA, not dissimilar to many school fences. Students when in the school grounds are always supervised by a teacher. Currently students access the parkland and school is not aware there has been any issue regarding the Rosewood fence.

·         Evacuation plan for Rosewood. There is no gate onto parkland from Rosewood in the proposed common boundary area with the school. There would still be access to both areas of the park. Some review of the evacuation and disaster management plan for Rosewood would be required.

·         Security patrol – the owner of Rosewood has a preference not to conduct security patrol within the boundary of Rosewood. He prefers to use the public open space for this. A change in protocol for this security check would still enable the check to be made using POS.

·         There are several mature trees on City of Vincent land proposed to be swapped. The school intends to keep this area as green playground space. It is the least suitable area on which to undertake any construction as a water and sewage easement crosses this area. Construction over such an easement is both difficult and costly. The Sisters of Mercy and City of Vincent have an obligation to regularly undertake a check on any trees on its land to ensure safety of those accessing that land. This could result in the need to prune or at worst remove a tree.

·         School’s future plans – demographics do not support any expansion of the school beyond its current two streams. The school has recently completed a major redevelopment program and apart from the need to replace the music school if the land swap goes ahead no further expansion of building footprint is proposed and any future expansion would add a level to the existing building.

·         After meeting yesterday on site with the owners of Rosewood, their legal representative, City of Vincent staff, the school principal, representative of Catholic Education WA and myself representing the Sisters of Mercy we have arrived at an agreed position:

·         Shared boundary between the school and Rosewood;

·         Document between Rosewood owner, Sisters of Mercy and Catholic Education WA. This ‘cooperation agreement’ will outline the schools intention to retain open space area on the proposed acquired land,  consultation in relation to any proposed changes in the long term, arrangements to deal with any operational issue or complaints that may arise between the school and Rosewood. All three parties wished this understanding to be reflected in the recommendation to the Elected Members of Council; and

·         This onsite meeting also allowed for Rosewood to have a full understanding of what is proposed in relation to the swap of Lot 37 to the City of Vincent which would be handed over as a cleared site.

The Presiding Member Mayor Emma Cole thanked Sister Eileen Daffy for her comments.

7            Announcements by the Presiding Member (Without Discussion)

The Presiding Member Emma Cole made the following announcement:

7.1          Beaufort Street

I wanted to speak about Beaufort Street tonight, something that has been attracting a lot of attention in the media about the state of health of Beaufort Street. We have seen over the last few months a lot of independent businesses walk away from Beaufort Street and more recently in the last 48 hour period we have seen a further two closures with Five Bar and Clarences and it has been causing concern for both businesses on the street and also local residents. We know that this issue of vacancies does then have a potential ripple effect on those existing businesses on the street and it starts to feel that the vacancies may outnumber the businesses left standing.

 

The City of Vincent is engaging in some new strategies to try to assist the situation and we know that the vacancies and the lack of diverse and unique mix of offerings on Beaufort Street is quite critical. We are engaging in a “Vacancy Project”, something that we will be funding through our draft budget initiatives, but we do have some money in this budget this year so I am keen to get that project happening. Today I met with Mayor Irwin from the City of Stirling and he has indicated that this is a project that City of Stirling would also like to come on board with and work together with the City of Vincent in partnership.

 

We know that there are other things we can do like hold street activations, etc. but we really do need the bricks and mortar business there. We need to have that mix of retail, the independent businesses that make the town so unique and that give us that competitive edge over the shopping centres that are constantly being redeveloped.

 

We are also continuing to strongly support the Beaufort Street Network who have just finalised their latest action plan and we are doing more in relation to infrastructure. Over the past five to seven years we have delivered with the Mary Street Piazza, Lightbox Laneway, the Beaufort Street sign, and significant artworks on the street. We’ve continued to fund events. They haven’t been the full scale one day festivals. There is a lot of commentary around that and why one day festivals don’t necessarily deliver for local businesses. We have continued to fund low scale events through the Beaufort Street Network and we intend to more and to raise that up a notch. We are going to be delivering in September a creative lighting project for the street, not street lights but actually up-lighting the Beaufort Street art sign, and hopefully with budget some trees, etc. to make that really have a nice sense of lighting and ambience and to really add to the vibrancy of the area.

 

All in all in our draft budget we have around $330,000 worth of funding initiatives to support Beaufort Street either directly or through strategies like our new Economic Development Strategy that we are developing. We also have a very strong “Support Local” marketing campaign that will underpin all of this. We will continue to offer the first hour free in our public carparks and there has been discussion amongst Council about having a discussion about whether we have got the parking solutions right. It is always important for us to revisit and assess at all times so that is something that can also happen.

 

There is no easy answer for Beaufort Street. We’ve got incredibly tough economic conditions out there, even for our town centres that look really healthy I know it is tough for local retailers in particular. We definitely have ideas and the partnerships. We have the passion to try to effect change on the strip and we think that the “Vacancy Project” is a way to really tackle the critical issues at hand. It is great to see that Stirling are prepared to come on board with us and tackle that together. We will keep everyone updated on these projects as we go.

 

7.2          Leederville Village Square

This Friday night we launch the Leederville Village Square, the event is called “Squaresville” and it is an opportunity for everyone to come and see the square in action. The City of Vincent along with the Town Team Movement will be running a “dotocracy” exercise where we will be asking people to place dots on their favourite activities and events that they would like to see in the space. There are some really great ideas that have already been put forward by Leederville Connect to make that space work called by “Day, Dusk and Dark” to get a lot of different and inviting events happening there. That’s a really good example of what can happen when the City and the Town Team work together. 

7.3          North Perth Common

On the 15 June we are looking to open North Perth Common and we should have the artwork lit up by then. We are hoping to do that and take that through to dark so we can really see what that artwork looks like at night time.
