INTRODUCTION

About the Kwinana Industrial Area

The Kwinana Industrial Area (KIA) is Western Australia’s premier heavy industrial area, and a major contributor to the success of Western Australia; at a national and international level. Effectively balancing the needs of the community, industry and the environment makes Kwinana unique in the metropolitan area.

The Kwinana Industrial Area was established in the early 1950s and has made, and continues to make, a major contribution to the wealth of the state of Western Australia and its people. The industrial development within the Kwinana region consists of a highly diverse range of industries from smaller service industries, such as fabrication and construction facilities, through to very large heavy process industries, such as alumina, nickel and oil refineries.

The companies in the Kwinana Industrial Area generate a combined annual output valued at $15.77 billion per annum and directly employ approximately 5,000 people (64% live locally), whilst providing indirect employment to approximately another 26,000 people.

The Kwinana Industrial Area will experience an unprecedented growth phase during the years to come. The growth in the area has already started with the development of Latitude 32 by Landcorp and the growth will be further strengthened and magnified by the imminent commencement of The Port development, extension of Mundijong Rd to the west of Kwinana Freeway by the City of Rockingham and development of the Intermodal Freight Terminal in the longer term. It is therefore paramount that the civil infrastructure including streetscaping within the entire Kwinana Industrial Area is upgraded and maintained at a level that will meet the future demands.

The KIA is WA’s main industrial area and a regional employment hub where people from wider metro area and regional centres come to work. These projects will create regional

employment opportunities and have profound economic and social benefits for the wider WA community. If Kwinana’s reputation not only as economic, but also as sustainable cornerstone, will be improved, new jobs will be created and follow on effects will have a positive impact on the Town‘s businesses and population.

Historic Situation

The Kwinana Industrial Area was perceived by many as a ‘rust belt’ industrial zone and not as it should be, as Western Australia’s premier industrial area which businesses and workers clamour to occupy. Many of the verges in the existing road reserves were unkept, and the industrial area lacked the structure and character that it deserved

The Proposal and Actions

The Kwinana Industries Council (KIC) and the Town of Kwinana agreed that more should be done to improve the aesthetics of the Kwinana Industrial Area. It was considered that, if upgrades were not undertaken, then business growth would potentially remain sluggish, Landcorp’s land values may remain depressed, state business related taxes would remain at ‘sub-optimal’ levels, jobs growth may be slowed, safety in the area would be compromised and the current perceived image of Kwinana’s Industrial Area would remain.

Tenders were called for Landscape Architects to plan for the upgrading of the main KIA thoroughfare (Rockingham and Patterson Roads). Funding was provided by KIC and a levy on industrial ratepayers was implemented to meet the cost of progressively upgrading the area.

This document has been developed to provide direction for the progressive upgrading of the appearance of the KIA. It highlights the priority areas and identifies design themes so that works can proceed in an orderly and efficient manor.

Introduction 7

About this strategy

Industrial estates are not traditionally thought of as aesthetically pleasing places. In this case, the design concept should support the needs and aspirations of a working community through the integration of built form, land uses and the qualities of the natural environment.

The aim of this strategy is to upgrade the appearance of landscaping in the Kwinana Industrial Area. The measures proposed will not only improve aesthetics but will also embrace sustainability through the use of indigenous, water wise planting and promote carbon offsetting through the planting of many trees, whilst carefully balancing maintenance requirements and future development.

This document will be the guiding reference for landscaping in the KIA. It provides the tools and palettes to create a continuous design language for new capital projects and upgrades of existing landscaped areas to be undertaken by the Town of Kwinana, as well as advise on how to identify priorities for future projects.

The strategy also makes recommendations beyond landscaping; for areas such as engineering and upgrades of infrastructure.

Wells Park and the beaches in the KIA are not being included in this document as they do not have an industrial landscape character and therefore should be looked at separately.

Future Transport Corridors and land developments will also have to be considered when undertaking any landscape design in the KIA.

Stakeholders

The main stakeholders in the Kwinana Industrial Areas other than the businesses in the area are the Town of Kwinana (TOK),the Kwinana

Industries Council (KIC), Landcorp, Fremantle Port Authority as well as Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA), several Service Authorities and the Rockingham Kwinana Development Office (RKDO). These stakeholders should be consulted where necessary in order to develop projects which satisfy a range of requirements and expectations.

Existing Plans and Strategies

A number of plans and strategies for the Kwinana Industrial Area or parts thereof already exist and need to be considered when designing streetscapes and other projects in the KIA.

Therefore, some areas of the KIA which are already covered by existing landscape or design strategies, will be excluded from this strategy or any new design is to be complementing the existing guidelines.

Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS)

The Kwinana Industrial Area is zoned predominantly Industrial Zone under the MRS. Areas of Kwinana Beach in the vicinity of Wells Park are zoned Special Industry as an adjunct to the Public Purposes Reservation (Port Installation), that applies to the Fremantle Port Authority and adjacent to the Bulk Cargo Jetty.

Sections of the littoral area of the Cockburn Sound Foreshore are also reserved for Parks and Recreation Purposes under the MRS.

Fremantle Rockingham Industrial Area Regional Strategy

The focus of the Fremantle Rockingham

Kwinana Industrial Area Landscape Strategy8

Industrial Area Regional Strategy (FRIARS) is for the development of General Industry as opposed to Heavy/Hazardous Industry development. However, the core of the existing industrial area is still earmarked for future Heavy Hazardous Industries. The proposal to develop a General Industrial Estate to the east of and as an adjunct to the KIA reinforces the state’s commitment to industrial development in the vicinity.

Towards optimising Kwinana Study

The Towards Optimising Kwinana Study provides a Strategic Landscaping plan for the Kwinana Industrial Area which is focussed on providing screen landscaping along major through routes and internal roads, in addition to the preservation of significant stands of remnant indigenous vegetation as well as introduced mature vegetation in the area of the old Kwinana Beach town site.

It also deals with landscape strategies for specific areas and provides landscaping design guidelines for individual industrial developments.

Latitude 32 Industry Zone Structure Plan (based on the Hope Valley Wattleup Redevelopment Project Master Plan)

The Latitude 32 project [formerly known as Hope Valley Wattleup Redevelopment Project] involves the development and redevelopment of approximately 1,426 hectares of land in the local government areas of Cockburn and Kwinana. Latitude 32 is one of the most significant industrial land development projects being undertaken in Western Australia.

The redevelopment will provide a stock of suitable industrial land for the needs of the region and the Perth Metropolitan Area for the next twenty to twenty five years. Latitude 32 aims to establish a new benchmark in the key areas of environmental, social and economic sustainability.

The Flinders Precinct is located within the south-western corner of the Latitude 32 project area and comprises a total area of approximately

156 hectares, of which approximately 80 hectares are developable industrial land. It is located within the Town of Kwinana and is generally bounded by Anketell Road to the south, freight railway line to the west, Hope Valley Road to the north and Long and Hendy Road Swamps to the east.

The framework for the development includes design guidelines for private open space, advertising signs, lighting and fencing, landscaping, finished site levels and drainage, protection of sites of heritage, conservation and environmental significance and proposes an integrated development which capitalises on the site’s natural characteristics and delivers an industrial urban form that will stimulate market interest and foster high quality development at Hope Valley.

Stages 1A and 1B of Flinders Precinct have been completed and further stages are marked for or are currently under construction.

This area is to be excluded from this masterplan because of the already existing design guidelines.

Planning Scheme: The Town of Kwinana Industrial Strategy

The Town of Kwinana Industrial Strategy was published in 2003 and deals primarily with the Kwinana Industrial Area in response to the scale of the area, the substantial impact potential of industries therein and the significance of the area to the local, regional and state economies. It also deals with other lower order industrial areas in the study area.

The Strategy recommends a graduation of zoning to accommodate a transition in industry types, from Heavy Industry in the central core area to General Industry on the outer fringes of the industrial area. The proposals represent a more prescriptive approach to industrial zoning in the Kwinana Industrial Area than the current Town Planning Scheme, which reflects a single General Industrial Zone for the area.

The Strategy is based on a composite of previous technical studies undertaken for the Kwinana Industrial Area by the State Government and seeks to refine and update the outcomes and

Introduction 9

recommendations of these studies in order to balance industrial growth, with the need to manage impacts from industry on surrounding land use and in particular existing and planned residential development.

Kwinana Industries Landscape and Architecture Project (Rockingham Road Masterplan)

Rockingham Road and Patterson Road form the major connection through the KIA in a north-south direction. The average daily traffic volume on Rockingham Road is currently around 45,000 vehicles per day.

It is anticipated that the traffic volume will substantially increase in coming years due to the ongoing expansion of the industrial area.

Gerard Healy and Associates were engaged by the Town of Kwinana in 2007 to develop a staged concept to upgrade the landscaping along Rockingham Road/Patterson Road to provide a more appealing surrounding by improving hard infrastructure on intersections and by planting large numbers of selected native species along the verges.

Stage 1 of the Rockingham Road – Patterson Road landscaping works ($1.6m) was largely completed during 2009/10. The design for Stage 2 has been undertaken and limited landscaping works of this stage (approximately $120,000) reached practical completion in October 2011.

The current design will allow for the scope of works of Stage 2 to increase to $1.1 Million once additional funds can be secured.

Rockingham and Patterson Road are to be excluded from this document because of the already existing masterplan, and designs for interfaces or intersections of other roads with Rockingham Road will have to take the existing concept into consideration.

Public Art Masterplan

An art masterplan developed for the industrial area in 2009 focuses on Rockingham/Patterson Road and suggests the installation of several medium to large scale pieces of art along its length.

The first piece of public art on the corner of Thomas and Rockingham Road was unveiled in October 2011.

Town of Kwinana Bike Plan

The Town of Kwinana Bike Plan is a comprehensive plan for improving and developing the cycle network in Kwinana. This should be used as the primary tool for developing cycling facilities in the KIA (Refer to Appendix).

Industrial Area Street Lighting Strategy

This strategy proposes upgrades to the street lighting in the KIA. These upgrades will improve road safety, community safety, improve the appearance of the streetscapes, reduce energy consumption and reduce associated costs with running and maintaining the street lights.

This strategy could be implemented as roads are landscaped and nodes installed according to this landscape strategy.

METHODOLOGY

Objectives

This strategy has been developed in accordance with a series of objectives as follows:

OBJECTIVE 1

Develop precincts to create sense of identity and legibility.

OBJECTIVE 2

Create sustainable and manageable streetscapes including hard built form which reflect environmental and cultural values of the KIA.

OBJECTIVE 3

Protect and enhance existing significant vegetation and natural environment.

OBJECTIVE 4

Create movement networks for all modes of transport within and between precincts.

residential areas and heavy industry. This should be reflected in type of landscaping. Land use is mainly manufacturing and workshops as well as some shop fronts along Mandurah Road.

PRECINCT C – (Hope Valley) based on Precinct 2; it also forms a buffer between residential and heavy industry. Land use is mainly manufacturing and workshops.

Precinct 3 from the TOKS study has not been included in this masterplan, as the land use is not industrial and there are no streetscapes in this vicinity.

Legibility needs to be developed in order to separate the precincts and create character and identity for each precinct.

For each precinct an analysis of aerial photography, as well as a visual survey of the roads has been undertaken to identify strengths, weaknesses and constraints. From this themes have been developed based on the location, landscape character, existing features and scale of each precinct. These themes aim to complement the scale of each precinct in relation to road layout and the size of built structures.

The themes will be reflected in colour, vegetation and material palettes and will be predominantly showcased at main entry nodes and strategic points of each precinct.

The roads and key entry points for each precinct have been identified and a typology based on hierarchy has been developed. Refer to page 18 onwards for more information on this.

How to address Objectives

The following outlines how the objectives will be addressed:

OBJECTIVE 1: Develop precincts to create sense of identity and legibility.

In order to develop a manageable approach to the industrial area, the site has been divided into precincts which have been identified by the character of the use of the land and the size of the developments / lots. The Precincts are based on the “Towards Optimising Kwinana Study (TOKS)” which designates a range of Industrial Precincts, wherein which a range of industrial types are promoted. The main precincts of the study are:

Precinct 1 - Heavy Industrial Core: Precinct 1 should accommodate Industrial Plants with potential for environmental impacts requiring buffer zone protection from residential areas, and / or requirement for direct access to port facilities for the movement of goods other than those available at Fremantle.

Precinct 2 - Support Industry: The priority use of Precinct 2 should be for General Industries which are ancillary and/or bear a supportive relationship to industries in Precinct 1.

Precinct 3 - Non Industrial Uses: The existing MRS Parks & Recreation Reserve should be extended to the west to broaden the greenbelt buffer zone. A flexible approach should be taken with respect to the exact alignment of this boundary, subject to further consultation with Westrail and DOLA.

The land uses of these precincts can be read in the character and the scale of the streetscapes, based on which three Landscape precincts for the Kwinana Industrial Area have been nominated:

PRECINCT A – (west of Rockingham Road) is based on Precinct 1 - Heavy industrial. The area requires large scale streetscape treatments to complement the size of the built form on the lots as well as screening industrial infrastructure.

PRECINCT B – (Mandurah Road) is based on Precinct 2 and forms a buffer between

Kwinana Industrial Area Landscape Strategy14

throughout the KIA. Larger intersections and main nodes should receive landscape features, such as artwork and elements typical of “entry statement” treatments, while secondary intersections should receive intensified planting without hard landscaping elements.

Native or drought tolerant species shall be given preference over irrigated planting and turf areas where possible.

Hard landscape elements, such as concrete paving and bollards should be considered when developing palettes for the precincts. A unified and cohesive style should be used for all hardscape elements in that precinct, to avoid a mismatched and disjointed landscape design.

Coloured concrete paving, such as that which has been installed along Rockingham Road, should be selected to follow an overall theme throughout the KIA. This unified approach should also be applied to bollards and street furniture. It is recommended that flexipole bollards or limestone bollards (which have been installed along Rockingham Road) should be the preferred choice. The use of a unified hardscape palette over the whole of the KIA will improve the appearance of the area and tie the Precincts together.

Parking

Many properties frequently have cars parked on the adjoining verge, yet very few of these areas are formalized and vehicles are parked on grass or gravel. This is a main reason for the the untidy and degraded appearance of the KIA and can be addressed by formalising designated parking areas and making the remainder of the verge inaccessible for vehicles.

Parking in the KIA is regulated in the Town Kwinana Policy # 3.3.29; Development within the industrial Zones. This policy states that “as far as practicable all vehicle parking associated with land use and development applications shall be accommodated on site”. However, in designated areas of the KIA, mainly located in Precincts B and C, verge parking will be “considered in defined areas where such parking does not prejudice traffic

OBJECTIVE 2: Create sustainable and manageable streetscapes including hard built form which reflect environmental and cultural values of the KIA.

The goal of any landscape design should be to create a functional site which retains original site characteristics. To achieve this, the successful blend of natural site and built environment, with special consideration to scale is crucial.

The design for the verges and streetscapes should incorporate landscape characteristics of the site with the site function. The landscape concept includes selection of species for shrub planting, a street tree concept as well material palettes for hard surfaces, visualising the Themes developed under Objective 1.

However, the function of the site, as primarily industrial use, creates major landscape design constraints. An aesthetic which is suitable for the scale and function of the KIA needs to be developed whilst considering the multitude of in-ground and overhead infrastructure like high pressure gas and oil pipelines such as the DBNGP as well as overhead power lines. Each road will need to be assessed individually prior to any detail design.

Maintenance and Manageability

When designing and building new streetscapes, or upgrading/renewing existing treatments, the ongoing maintenance requirements of the design must be considered. The treatments should be manageable and maintenance must be affordable, due to the large size of the KIA and the limited resources available for maintenance.

A long term maintenance strategy, which will require the input of additional recources, needs to be developed for each project to ensure that the streetscape will remain in a tidy condition over many years to come.

While the longer stretches of road should receive treatment which is low maintenance, such as street trees and unirrigated, maintained grass, a strong focus should be put on entry nodes. by creating designs which shape the character of a precinct and allow for easy orientation

Page 15: Date issued Revision For Issued by - City of Kwinana...Kwinana Industrial Area Landscape Strategy Date issued Revision For Issued by 02.11.2011 Draft internal comment NKW/DE 22.11.2011

Methodology 15

safety, traffic circulation access, and amenity or pose a threat to infrastructure located in the road verge”.

In most streets in Precincts B and C the policy potentially permits “Extended Parking”, which means that a parking area is constructed within the verge but is physically linked and integrated with parking areas on private land within the setback area and all access/egress to the parking area is via an approved crossover.

In Precinct C “Embayment Parking”, meaning a parking area within the verge where parking bays are aligned parallel to and at the same vertical level of the road carriageway and the parking bays or bordered by continuation of the kerb, can be approved by the Town of Kwinana.

Parking is not permitted if

a. the road is reserved under the Metropolitan Region Scheme, has known road widening requirements or is subject to Main Roads WA Control of Access notice.

b. Such parking by reason of location, near an intersection or road curvature or vertical elevation obstructs traffic sight lines.

c. Such parking compromises the functioning and maintenance of essential services (electricity, gas, water, sewer, telephone) and is opposed by the relevant public utility agency.

d. Such parking inhibits manoeuvring of industrial traffic.

It is proposed that the construction of formalised parking areas are to be encouraged following a case by case assessment of the individual street and requirements. However conditions such as high quality landscaping of the remaining verge areas, the provision of shade trees and a limitation of the parking areas on the verges are to be decided and applied to formalised verge parking.

Kwinana Industrial Area Landscape Strategy16

All new designs should embrace the use of indigenous plant species as they are a waterwise choice and showcase the local flora and vegetation character of the area.

Existing mature trees should be monitored regularly to ensure that they are healthy and safe.

Whilst some existing exotic species will be retained, it should be ensured that management plans are in place where needed to prevent further spreading of weeds throughout the area.

The planting palettes for each precinct contain all native plants, a list of these plants can be found from page 52 onwards.

OBJECTIVE 3: Protect and enhance existing significant vegetation and natural environment.

The KIA includes two main landforms: a flat sandplain along the coast in the west and a series of low, north south trending ridges in the east. There are no lakes or permanent swamps in the area.

The natural vegetation is made up of coastal shrubs, tuart forrests and wetland plants, but non-indigenous plant species, most of which were introduced for screening purposes, can be found throughout the area, some of them are weeds.

These natural vegetation units should be retained and upgraded where possible. This can be achieved through revegatation with suitable tubestock, weed eradication programmes and protection of existing trees wherever works are being undertaken.

Partnering with community groups to relocate grass trees, collect seeds for replanting and rehabilitation of bushland areas, should be encouraged to increase awareness and educate the general public about endemic plants and natural vegetation and its beauty.

Methodology 17

OBJECTIVE 4: Create movement networks for all modes of transport within and between precincts.

The proposed verge treatments within the precincts will create a subtle hierarchy of roads with the focus on entry nodes and important connections. The more intensive treatment of the entry nodes will increase the awareness of upcoming intersections and the scale of the verge treatments and street trees will be varied to suit the character and importance of each road.

The entry nodes will also create differentiation between the individual precincts, allowing for improved orientation on a larger scale.

Vehicles

For vehicular traffic there are several requirements, such as the suitability for high and wide loads on certain routes, to be considered when designing streetscapes. It is important that appropriate tree species are selected and that they are placed to avoid lower branches overhanging roads and driveways and to provide good sight lines throughout.

Some intersections are prone to be overrun by trucks, this should be considered when designing treatments for these areas, by either including bollards or to adjust the treatment to be able to be overrun (i.e mulched verges or trafficable hard treatments).

Cyclists

Due to the size and the industrial nature of the KIA, pedestrian and cyclist movement is restricted in the area. The provision of bike or dual use paths is limited within the internal road network and while a path is provided along stretches of Rockingham Road, it does not create a complete north south connection through the KIA.

The Kwinana Industries Landscape and Architecture Project proposes the completion of the shared path to provide for longer distance regional or sub-regional bicycle movement through the area.

The Town of Kwinana Bike Plan proposes extensions and improvements to the existing cycle network in the KIA and these changes should be implemented.

An on-road facility is proposed on Kwinana Beach Road, Mason Road and Mandurah Road. It is proposed to provide an off road path on Rockingham and Patterson Road South of Anketell Road, Office Road and also on Beard Street.

This will improve safety for cyclists and the connections between the surrounding suburbs and the public tansport network to the main destination points within the KIA (such as Wells Park and the BP Refinery).

Pedestrians

Pedestrian traffic can be encouraged by providing shade, shelter and occasional rest stops along roads, focusing on pedestrian access ways to lunch bars and public transport facilities.

While dedicated bicycle or shared paths will not be necessary or practical on all local roads, wider road pavements with appropriate linemarking should be used to cater for on road bicycle or pedestrian movement.

The Kwinana Industrial Area is also subject to future developments which, where they can be already foreseen (the Outer Harbour development and the extension of Rowley Road), should be included into any designs.

Precinct A 19

Precinct A Smoke Stacks

The smoke stacks are a dominant feature of this precinct and create a unique landmark in the area, representing the industrial activity in the precinct.

The streetscapes need to suit the large scale activities in this area whilst being low maintenance and serving a screening function. More intensive treatments are being proposed for Entry Nodes, where landscaping and artwork could be used to reinforce the precinct theme and assist to convey a positive image of the precinct.

The colours of the precinct are reflected in planting and material palettes and the selection of Norfolk Island Pines and She-Oaks pick up on the coastal location and the large scale of the industrial activities in the precinct.

Kwinana Beach Sub-Precinct

This precinct located within Precinct A should have its own theme applied to nodes which are located in this area. The sub precinct of Kwinana Beach is located in close proximity to Wells Park and the Kwinana shipwreck and therefore the area is associated with recreational use as well as industrial.

The design of the entry nodes in the Kwinana Beach sub-precinct should focus more on a maritime theme than that of the smoke stacks, as the area should be portrayed as a coastal recreational area rather than solely as an industrial area. This will help to improve the perceived image that the beaches and parks located there are aesthetically undesirable because they exist within an industrial area.

The design of the entry nodes for Precinct A is based on the smoke stacks which are seen from many locations surrounding the KIA, including the main transport route of Rockingham Road. These smoke stacks are a landscape icon of the area and are a symbol of the KIA for many visitors and people passing through Kwinana.

Corten steel sculpture art should be based on an abstracted form of the smoke stacks and be the main focal point of the entry statement. Grass Trees should be treated as a feature plant as they are linear and upright in form and therefore also reflect the idea of the smoke stack.

Norfolk Island Pines planted at the main entry points to the precinct act as landmarks, signify the coastal location of the precinct and also suggest the form of the chimney stacks.

Port RoadThe design of the entry nodes in the Kwinana Beach sub-precinct should focus more on a maritime theme than that of the smoke stacks.

The symbol of the entry nodes could be the Town’s logo of the ship or another image which is maritime related, but different to the symbol for Precinct C.

Norfolk Island Pines planted at the main entry points to the precinct act as landmarks and relate to the maritime theme.

Precinct B 33

Precinct B

The Bush

This precinct is located close to the existing landscape buffer between the industrial and the residential areas of Kwinana.

A bush theme will create a stronger connection to the ‘green belt’ west of the town. Existing native vegetation in the area should be protected and enhanced while a focus on endemic plants and materials should be put on new landscape design elements.

The trees selected for this precinct are eucalyptus species and colourful flowering natives will enhance the connection with the adjoining bushland.

Due to its diverse character, Mandurah Road needs to treated as an entry avenue and should be assessed carefully to include the various uses along the road, therefore no design suggestions have been provided.

The entry node for Precinct B is based on the bush theme for the precinct. The suggested design theme consists of a limestone and timber wall with corten steel art which reflects this theme, shown in the image as eucalyptus leaves.

The material palette is indicative of the bush in colour and texture and the plant palette consists of colourful and eye catching species which are endemic to the area.

The entry statement is planted with Tuart trees which act as a landmark to signify the entry points to the precinct.

Precinct C The Ocean

The theme for this precinct is based on the name of the suburb it encompasses, parts of Naval Base. The views overlooking the waters of the Cockburn Sound to Garden Island should be enhanced where possible and the link to the ocean should be strengthened.

The design theme should include maritime and naval elements for entry nodes and the plant selection reflects the coastal character through grey foliage and low species endemic to this coastal area.

Implementation 59

IMPLEMENTATION

Priorities

Due to the size of the KIA and budget constraints, the implementation of this strategy will have to be staged in many individual projects.

Maintenance

The first priority is to bring the overall KIA streetscape appearance up to a basic acceptable standard by verge clearing and mowing, tree and shrub pruning, removal of dead vegetation and ongoing basic maintenace activities. This has largely been achieved by the dedicated works team operating in the KIA, but more is still required in some areas.

Improvements

The initial detail design and construction projects in each precinct should focus on key entry points and main roads.

The nodes for intersections should be looked

at first, because they will help to pull together the area and introduce the themes to the precincts.

In Precinct A these would be the verges along Mason Road and Kwinana Beach Road as well as the intersections of Beard Street and Rockingham Road. The intersection of Kwinana Beach Road and Patterson Road has already been upgraded as part of the Rockingham Road landscape works.

For Precinct B the focus should lie on Mandurah Road as the main thoroughfare and on the intersections of the arterial roads such as Richardson Street, Beach Street, Ocean Street and Office Road with Mandurah Road and Patterson Road.

Lee Road and the entry nodes on the intersections of most arterial roads with Rockingham Road and Lee Road should be given high priority in Precinct C.

Once these main nodes and roads have been completed, the streetscapes along arterial roads should be upgraded, working away from the entry nodes and establishing linear

Kwinana Industrial Area Landscape Strategy60

connections between individual points. The arterial roads generally have more through traffic and should therefore be given priority for landscape upgrades which will improve the current image of the area. The final stages should concentrate on improving internal nodes and roads.

Budget permitting, one or more design and construction projects should be occurring in each precinct every year. This way the whole Kwinana Industrial Area will experience

improvements without leaving key sites in some precincts behind.

Verges and intersections of areas which are likely to undergo further development or extensive modifi cations, such as the Patterson Road/ Mandurah Road/ Mason Road intersection, should not be upgraded until modifi cation plans are fi nalised. Although this is an important intersection with a high priority, available funds should be used for projects with longevity and without risk of modifi cation.

Kwinana Industrial Area Landscape Strategy72

A designated cost estimating template for landscaping projects in the KIA has been developed to assist with the allocation of funds in future TOK capital budgets (see below).

This template should be used as a guideline only and detailed costings will have to be adjusted for each project considering specific requirements. To estimate the cost of a project, preliminary areas should be estimated and then applied to the rates provided in the template. This template should be reviewed annually to keep up with development of prices.

Cost Estimating

Other potential costs that may need to be considered include but are not limited to surveyor fees, set out, service locating and ‘service spotters’, demolition and consultancy fees.

Other Recommendations

Planting times

In order to keep watering costs as low as possible and to increase the chance of non-irrigated planting establishing into healthy, vigorous vegetation, all planting should be scheduled during optimum growing seasons (late autumn / winter).

Maintenance Resources and Management

With each project a Maintenance Plan should be developed. This plan should not only include the cost for supplementary watering of plants until they are fully established, but also annual costs for ongoing maintenance such as slashing of verges, removal of dead vegetation and topping up of mulch. It should be created to assist with future budgeting and allocation of resources for maintenance such as staff,

equipment and material.

Dial Before you Dig

Due to the large number of services located above and underground in the KIA, it is crucial that a Dial before you dig enquiry is undertaken prior to commencement of all detail design and construction.

Extensive liaison with service authorities may be necessary for the successful realisation of a project and this should be factored in when estimating project costs.

Public Private Partnerships

Property owners in the KIA will ideally take on some ownership of the verges fronting their properties.

It is important that these stakeholders are consulted and updated during the design and construction process. They should be educated about how to apply water sensitive

urban design to landscaping and should be encouraged to build feature entries to their properties in line with the streetscape design.

In order to encourage property owners to maintain their verges to a high standard, incentives could be introduced, for example an annual award for the best kept verge.

Property owners should also be made aware that a well presented property in a well maintained area will most likely appreciate in value.

Roads and Lighting Upgrades

When roads are being upgraded or renewed, the inclusion of infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians should be considered, as per the Town of Kwinana Bike Plan.

It is also to be noted that many roads in the KIA have cracked kerbing and worn out shoulders due to heavy vehicles repeatedly driving over some areas. The visual quality of the area will be improved if this damage is avoided though a careful assessment of turning circles and parking requirements prior to renewing or upgrading road surfaces and kerbing.

Any upgrade of street lighting should also consider non-vehicular traffi c to allow for pedestrians and cyclists to use the roads in the KIA in a safe manner, as the KIA is active 24 hours a day and many people leave or enter the area after dark or before sunrise.
