5.1 PETRIE PARK AND RATTRAY RESERVE MASTER PLAN

Ms Melissa Baddeley spoke to the item.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In January 2015, Council appointed SGL Consulting Group Pty Ltd (SGL) to work with thecommunity and Council to develop a master plan for Petrie Park and Rattray Reserve,Montmorency.

The objective of the project was to prepare a master plan for Petrie Park and RattrayReserve to ensure the best outcomes for the community, with improved facilities, betterlinkages and access, and a long term sustainable plan for the precinct.

Extensive consultation occurred throughout 2015 and 2016 with community and sportinggroups at Petrie Park and Rattray Reserve, local schools and businesses, Councillors,Council officers and local residents of Montmorency to assist with the development of themaster plan.

Ten (10) submissions were received during the final community consultation phase, largely insupport of the plan, with some minor suggestions; however there was no major drive forchange.

Key themes primarily related to ‘Access and Egress’, ‘Pathways’ and ‘Community Buildings’.There is one (1) change which has been included into the final plan for Petrie Park relating to‘Pathways’ and that is to consider a slight re-alignment of the informal pedestrian entry fromRipper St into Petrie Park. This will be explored during detailed design of the path network.

The estimated cost to implement all elements of the master plan including a 10%contingency is $3,082,260 excluding GST. This includes a Council contribution of$1,000,000 to the proposed multi-purpose community facility within Petrie Park.

The final master plan meets the objectives of the master plan project, has acknowledged andresponded to community feedback and once adopted, will help guide reserve and facilityimprovements in the future.

Resolution (CO2016/185)

That Council:

1. Adopt the (attached) Master Plan for Petrie Park and Rattray Reserve.

2. Refer projects and cost estimates within the Master Plan to future capital work budgets.

3. PLANET – ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

3.1 INDIAN MYNA BIRD CONTROL

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Banyule City Council, like numerous other municipalities, has significant numbers of IndianMyna birds. The large numbers can have negative impacts on native bird species due tocompetition for nesting hollows and territorial behaviour.

At a Federal and Victorian Government level there is no program or process to address thepopulation growth of the species or undertake coordinated eradication.

There are many local councils that are providing resources to support a community andenvironmental group lead approach to control numbers of Indian Myna birds in accordancewith the relevant approved humane control measures.

It is recommended that Council responds to the environmental impacts being caused by theIndian Myna bird by establishing a community based control model for control of the birds. Itis also recommended that Council advocate to the State Government to request that theIndian Myna bird be declared a pest and seeking support from them and the MunicipalAssociation Victoria to establish a coordinated Indian Myna bird control strategy.

Resolution (CO2016/193)

That:

1. Commences a campaign to the Federal and State Governments to ensure the IndianMyna is classified as a pest species in relevant legislation. This campaign includeswriting to the Prime Minister, State Premiers, Ministers and Parliamentary Secretariesfor the Environment, Local Federal and State Members of Parliament.

2. Seeks funding from the Federal and State Governments to address what is becomingthe Indian Myna Plague.

3. Council write to the MAV and every LGA in Victoria seeking their support to ensure:

(b) that all levels of Government commence measures to address the increasingnumber of Indian Myna birds and to prevent the environmental damage they aredoing in particular to our native bird life; and

(c) that given the breeding and travelling nature of the Indian Myna a "wholistic"approach is required therefore Federal and State Governments should take thelead and fund projects to address this issue.

9.1 3RD IFTAR RAMADAN DINNER AT THE BELL STREET MALL

Councillor Craig Langdon advised that Friday 10 June 2016 he had the pleasure of attendingthe 3rd IFTAR Ramadan Dinner at the Bell Street Mall. This event was held in Shop 48 TheHarmony Centre and it was packed with over 200 people in attendance. He was joined byCouncillors Garotti, Mulholland and Melican.

The best way to sum up the event was provided by another participant. She wrote thefollowing:

“Just thought I should say thank you to all involved in putting this on! It was indeed good,there was lots of delicious food and everyone was mixing and friendly. Yes, there were slightcultural differences apparent, but it was between cultures not ethnicity or religion which werenot really mentioned. Several of us Anglo Australian females – who had wondered if wemight stand out, did not; and we were sort of looked after by several young men at alltimes. And there were different backgrounds between us Anglo Australian females whichwere just as wide if not wider, as between those of different family origins. I congratulate andthank you all – those involved directly in preparations AND the attendees.”

Councillor Langdon also extended his gratitude and appreciation to the organisers of theevent and all the volunteers who ably assisted. In particular he acknowledged the VictorianMulticultural Commission for their funding contribution and further acknowledgement shouldalso be given to the Somali Australian Council of Victoria (SACOV), Olympic AdultEducation, as well as the Bell Street Mall Traders Association and Banyule City Council and3081 connect.
