6 REPORTS OF THE CEO

6.1 PROPOSED RELOCATION OF SPORTS NODE AND CONFIRMATION OF PLANTING AREAS WITHIN THE LAKE CLAREMONT PARKLAND

File No: PRK/00136

Attachments: Approved 2016 Lake Claremont Concept Plan (Attachment 1) Proposed relocation of sports node (Attachment 2)

Responsible Officer: Saba Kirupananther Executive Manager Infrastructure

Author: Andrew Head Manager Parks and Environment

Proposed Meeting Date: 05 April 2018

Purpose

The report proposes retention of identified planting areas and relocation of the proposed sports node within the Lake Claremont Parkland to improve spatial layout of various activities and facilities.

Background

In February 2016, Council approved the Lake Claremont Concept Plan 2016 (Attachment 1) which among other items identified proposed planting areas and included provision for a sports node within the parkland area. In progressing the proposed planting, it is proposed the location of the sports node be relocated further south, to improve spatial layout and reduce conflict with planting areas.

Discussion

To provide certainty on planting locations for the next few years, it is proposed those areas approved within the Lake Claremont Concept Plan 2016 (Attachment 1) are reaffirmed. This will provide the Friends of Lake Claremont (FOLC) clear direction over the next few years when applying for potential revegetation grants for the site. It is considered however that one of these planting areas will be impacted by the sports node currently proposed to be located immediately adjacent. Locating both so close increases potential damage to the planting area through trampling by people and sporting equipment (balls etc.). To reduce this conflict, it is recommended that the sports node location be moved further south. This would place the components making up the sports node (basketball/netball half-pad, AFL/Rugby/Soccer goalposts) closer to the activation area created by the new playground and proposed budget items

including BBQ, picnic tables and benches north of the Lapsley Road connection path. If approved by Council, the Lake Claremont Concept Plan can be updated to reflect the changes and used as the base design for entry signs to the park.

6.2 LAKE CLAREMONT OPERATIONAL PLAN 2018-19

File No: PRK/00136

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

Responsible Officer: Saba Kirupananther Executive Manager Infrastructure

Author: Andrew Head Manager Parks and Environment

Proposed Meeting Date: 05 April 2018

Purpose

To present the Lake Claremont Operational Plan (‘LCOP’) 2018-19 for approval.

Background

Each year, the LCOP is created to facilitate the completion of projects identified in the Lake Claremont Management Plan 2016-21. Some actions are undertaken annually, while many are either biennially or occur once during the life of the five year management plan. The LCOP also provides the community a detailed breakdown of the monitoring and actions of Lake Claremont, such as the new planting/ revegetation areas, which needed much management and improvement, for the site to be brought to the level expected by the community.

Discussion

Attachment 1 is the draft LCOP 2018-19, which has a number projects and maintenance activities identified for Lake Claremont during 2018-19, which include actions in the following categories:

Cultural Heritage

Impacts from Land Use

Recreation Space Opportunities

Dog Walking and Exercising

Infrastructure for Sports and Recreation

Access

Signage

Fencing

Lake Views

Community Engagement and Communication

Erosion Control

Acid Sulphate Soils

Fire Management Strategy

Water Quality

Flora Management

Regeneration and Revegetation

LAKE CLAREMONT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MINUTES 5 APRIL, 2018

Page 10

Weed Management

Fungi Management

Fire Management

Fauna Management. There are a number of strategic projects which have also been identified, including:

Removal of Tamarix Trees around the FOLC shed and installation of a limestone path, and future revegetation of the surrounding area

Buffer fencing on south east side of lake with self-closing gates to protect the nesting birds and reduce erosion

Further development of brief for a Heritage Centre at the site

Implementation of actions within the fire management (Bushfire Attack Level or BAL rating) plan

Further implementation of integrated weed management practices such as hand weeding, mulching and reduced chemical use where possible.

Another improvement to the LCOP is that it now addresses the fact that revegetation grants are applied for after the approval of the LCOP. This is to assist Friends of Lake Claremont (FOLC) in applying for these grants, and to eliminate the need for updated changes to the LCOP during the year. Other items from the 2017-18 LCOP have been removed as they either been completed, or expected to be completed during the 2017-18 financial year. These include:

Henshaw Swale works

Ficus Heritage report

Lake Claremont Sign Plan

Playgrounds at the Golf Couse and Lapsley Road

The ‘Sports Node’.
