APPENDIX 8 — Verbatim responses

QUESTION: “Do you have any (further) comments about the proposed installation of cricket practice nets at Percy Doyle Football Teeball Park?” Note: Words that may identify respondents or contain offensive language have been removed and replaced with square brackets, ie [- - -]. Minor alterations have been to spelling/grammar to enhance readability.

Verbatim responses — Do you have any (further) comments about the proposed installation of cricket practice nets at Percy Doyle Football Teeball Park (N = 32):

We believe this will enhance the use of the Park, particularly of younger people.

I have a few minor concerns: 1. Is the floodlight tower going to be affected by the practice net installation? 2. Has it been determined that any balls hit towards the club rooms will not hit the club rooms, or more importantly any persons standing in the under croft area? 3. It appears to me that a straight drive will more than likely go through or land in the area where teams may be seated on the boundary, this would be dangerous. Although it is further from the club rooms could the nets be installed in the North East corner of the park facing towards the centre of the oval?

I fully support the installation of cricket nets at Percy Doyle. I coach [- - -] and my family live [- - -]. There are currently no suitable cricket nets for my son, his friends and I to use in summer that I am aware of in walking vicinity of this park other than the nets at Poynter Primary School, which are in average condition.

I support the installation of sporting facilities for community use to encourage more people to play any sport and engage with each other.

Excellent facility enhancement — strongly approve.

I believe it is a good idea to assist local sporting clubs and members. Also improves overall health and interest in sport.

I support the installation of cricket practice nets at this facility, as long as it is only used during daytime, between 8 am and 6 pm during summer, and between 8 am and 5 pm during winter. It will make a noise, so if used at any time, will not be fair to people who live nearer to this facility.

Just that is would be a good addition to the park.

All outdoor activities should be encouraged.

I think it's a great idea if only one tree has to be removed. There are so few shade trees left around that area.

I think it is an excellent initiative that will entice more youth into active sports out in the open, away from their TVs and phones. Management re-funding (use by schools/others etc), and ongoing upkeep is my main issue. Promoting outdoor sport should be strongly encouraged to improve participation levels. Direct and measurable benefits: 1. Alternative to TV and mobile phones/internet etc. 2. Less anxiety 3. Improved fitness 4. Social interaction 5. Healthy 6. Friendship and team building opportunities.

It's great to provide facilities for families to use and enjoy. Sport is such an important component of a child's development. Fully support this initiative.

I am more than happy for there to be sports facilities established within our area, to encourage children & teens to pursue their sporting interests, engage with other members of the local community & increase their levels of exercise in the fresh air as a way to help combat lifestyle illnesses that are a common problem in developed societies. My concern is for the physical maintenance of the nets on an ongoing basis, as the tennis courts that were previously in place adjacent to the library were very poorly maintained.

I think it is a great proposal and will be used by many people for years to come.

Any type of sporting equipment is welcome.

107382 32 | 33

Verbatim responses — Do you have any (further) comments about the proposed installation of cricket practice nets at Percy Doyle Football Teeball Park (N = 32):

Dear [- - -], Sorry we are not online. At the ages of 85 and 93, we have no interest in the cricket whatsoever. Sometimes there is a lot of noise, but it does not worry us. Yours sincerely, [- - -].

Providing it doesn’t cost the Joondalup Council or ratepayers any funds, contribution $$, or in lieu in the erecting of the cricket facilities, nor any future expenditure in maintenance or costs associated with this proposal, then I would support this, otherwise I feel the Council should not be expending monies and equipment on the venue.

We think it's a great idea and strongly support the installation of the nets which we'd get good use out of in the summer season. Thank you for considering our opinion. The [- - -] Family

As a local resident with [- - -] we have been hoping for cricket nets at Percy Doyle for years. I think this will be a fantastic addition to the complex, particularly for the current resident cricket clubs that use the oval. But also for local residents’ children and adults so they can practice their batting and bowling without having to travel to nets in Marri Road, Glengarry, Robin Park or Seacrest.

[- - -] Manager Leisure and Cultural Services. Dear [- - -], I have looked at the site of the possible positioning of cricket practice nets at the Percy Doyle Reserve. I now consider that there is insufficient room to place new practice nets at the proposed location with the nets backing on to Warwick Road. As was noted in your note about the proposal sent to me not only is the very limited room and at least one tree would have to be removed there is a tall ground lighting tower in the area that would be required by bowlers in their run up. This lighting tower would be in danger of being hit regularly and also the distinct possibility that the lights themselves would be damaged during net sessions. I have inspected the cricket nets at Marri Oval and at Carine Open Space and notice that much more space is required for the facility than just the nets with positions for bags and clothing etc. Neither of these locations appear well maintained. At Marri Road the net wicket area is covered with sand and at Carine Open Space there is a build-up of leaves in the nets. In conclusion, I oppose the construction of new cricket practice nets at Percy Doyle Reserve in the position proposed and that large number of children and spectators at the Tee Ball games not be displaced by cricket practice nets. Yours Faithfully, [- - -]

Interested in the actual location of the nets.

I believe that any sporting improvements to encourage young people to participate in outside activities is worthwhile.

Great to get kids off their electronic devices and improves our chances of a decent Australian cricket team!

I think it’s a great idea. I have a young family and would love to take my boy to the cricket nets one day. I played a lot of Senior cricket and hopefully my boy will follow in dad’s steps????

Currently my son [- - -] wants to play and practice cricket before becoming a member of a club. The new nets will provide an opportunity for training and practice. in the past 3 years approx. [- - -] children have moved into our street. These nets will enhance the active use of the park and enhance its facilities.

Verbatim responses — Do you have any (further) comments about the proposed installation of cricket practice nets at Percy Doyle Football Teeball Park (N = 32):

This is required to improve the opportunity for community members to participate in cricket.

Wonderful idea, I hope this proposal passes.

Support is contingent on no impact to the football field.

I am in favour of your Leisure Planning 02056 proposal regarding the installation of cricket practice nets as outlined in your letter of 18 May 2018.

Good to see more facilities for organised sport for young people in our community.

The cricket nets are a great idea and will be an asset to the cricket club and other residents in the area wishing to practice cricket.

Happy for this to go ahead.
