Calling Claremont homeBecoming an Australian citizen is an exciting and monumental event that over 204,000 people undertook in the 2019-2020 year. The Town hosts up to four citizenship ceremonies each year, welcoming over 70 new Australian citizens to our community. In 2020 we welcomed Adam Lawless and the Flipo family to the Claremont community.

Adam Lawless & Caitlin Lawless

What country did you originate from?I moved to Perth from Dublin, Ireland. I wanted to experience Australia and all that it has to offer. While working in the Australian healthcare system I met my wife and the rest is history.

Why did you choose Claremont?We decided to live in Claremont as it was a central location, with easy access to the hospitals we work at but also just a few minutes from the beach! The Quarter offers great shopping, restaurants and cafes.

What is your hidden ‘gem’ of Claremont?There’s so many great things about Claremont that it’s hard to pick just one thing. I train at Crossfit Claremont every morning. Jason and his team do a great job of programming for all levels of fitness and I’ve met some great people there. I would encourage anyone looking to challenge themselves to try it out. Typika is also a favourite for great food and coffee.

Flipo Family - Capucine, Julia, James and Frederic

What country did you originate from?Lille in France

Why did you choose Claremont?We chose Claremont for the nice lifestyle and its location between the river and the ocean, plus proximity to schools.

What is your hidden ‘gem’ of Claremont? We love Nolita on Bay View Terrace. We like to do our shopping around the Town Centre and the kids like meeting there. We also volunteer as a family for the Bindaring Clothes Sale at Claremont Showground and think this is a magnificent gem that the Claremont community contributes to.

Mayor’s welcomeWelcome to the summer edition of Flourish and to a new year. 2020 posed difficult challenges to our community and I am pleased and proud that as an organisation, Council continued to provide strong leadership and governance, while our administration demonstrated their flexibility and high level of customer service.

February 2021 marks the anniversary of 150 years of local government in Western Australia, and subsequently 123 years of the Town of Claremont. And while we still manage roads, rates and rubbish as my predecessors once did, modern local governments have since taken on a myriad of other facilities, programs and services to build and maintain the best outcomes for their communities.

This edition outlines some of those amazing benefits to enjoy in summer such as public art in our Town, family-friendly events at the Aquatic Centre, school holiday activities at the library, and an exciting, new sustainability initiative to help reduce our textile impact on the environment.

Council meetings open to the community will resume from 2 February, and I look forward to seeing you around our wonderful Town this summer.

Best wishes,

Mayor Jock Barker

Join us for a romantic evening under the stars featuring WASO. Bring your own picnic, or if you’d prefer to let someone else do the cooking, an array of food trucks with incredible variety will be on offer at Claremont Park from 6pm with the concert starting at 7pm.

A Night on Bay View - a love story

Le Parc LumièreClaremont locals and their families enjoyed three stunning evenings under the stars to celebrate all things light and Christmas in December at our inaugural Le Parc Lumière event.

With 2020 claiming many events and gatherings, the Town’s exciting new family-friendly festival united the community in celebration of the festive season.

Artists from around the State ignited their creative spark as Claremont Park transformed into an outdoor gallery with 13 temporary light sculptures. To conclude the weekend, the Perth Symphony Orchestra wowed with a stunning performance of Christmas carols on stage, joined by jolly Santa Claus.

The West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) returns to Claremont Park on Saturday 13 February with a musical romance under the stars, for the annual free family concert ‘A Night on Bay View’. Celebrate a night of love-inspired songs featuring music from West Side Story, The Wizard of Oz, Carmen, Love Actually and more

The link between music and romance is strong at WASO with several couples in the Orchestra including Julia Brooke, Horn and Liam O’Malley, Associate Principal Trombone who maintained a long-distance relationship before the opportunity arose to share the stage of Perth Concert Hall.

Working with your other half, especially in the music world, comes with its advantages according to Liam, even going through the highs and lows together, “It’s nice to be able to share that. The absolute understanding of what each other does for work makes the emotional side of it quite easy.

I think the best thing by far though is sharing in the euphoric high that comes from playing an amazing concert.”

While Julia describes herself as a natural stress head, knowing Liam has helped her think more about the overall result of music making rather than getting caught up in the small details, “Liam is a very naturally talented musician, with an amazing work ethic. He has an ease to his playing and it’s beautiful to listen to.”

The admiration is mutual, “With Julia, I admire the absolute detail she puts into her practice and performance. Julia is a very emotional person and seeing her put that 100% into her craft is an inspiration.”

Although there is clearly a strong connection between players, Liam also feels a strong sense of a WASO community, “We love our audience as much as they love us. It really is a thrill to play in this amazing orchestra, but being able to share all of those performances with our audience makes it that much better.”

The 13 sculptural light installations provided a positive sensory experience for all ages, engaging the public, and demonstrating a consideration of sustainability.

“This year has shown us more than ever the need to be imaginative, agile and above all creative. This new event, combining ARTRRA and the Christmas Festival is a great new addition to the Town’s calendar” Cr Annette Suann said.

We welcomed industry experts Geoffrey Drake-Brockman (artist), Lauren Formentin (FORM) and Sam Fazzari (Mobilia) who judged the artwork, with Naz Sumadi winning $5,000 in 1st place and Anne Gee winning the People’s Choice Award taking $1,000 which the community voted for on the night.

“I’m thrilled to be awarded People’s Choice and thank the Town of Claremont for giving so many artists an opportunity to share their work, in what has been a very tough year for us all.“ Anne Gee said.

The Salvation Army raised funds for their domestic violence homes, as patrons were able to support them by purchasing a candle and carols program. Both the candles and carols program sold out.

River of dreams While we may not be travelling to our favourite overseas destinations this year, we have our very own slice of paradise right here on our doorstep to enjoy. Make some time this summer to enjoy one of the most spectacular areas of the Swan River, right here in Claremont.

History Historically Freshwater Bay was the location for a colony of convicts working on building the Perth to Fremantle Road. The river was key to transportation and to link the area to other locations. Boat sheds were aplenty along the river, including the one onsite at Mrs Herbert’s Park.

The Claremont Jetty was where ferries could pull up to take people on trips up the river or to visit the Zoo, and in 1902, the Claremont Baths were established and were very popular for socialising and swimming lessons.

The Nyungar knew it as a place of plenty, a good camping ground that was used until after World War II, when their remaining camp was removed from the Swanbourne High School area.

Fast forward to today and the foreshore and bay area remain a very important part of Claremont.

Facilities There are a number of options to keep you entertained while at the Claremont foreshore. Take a boat onto the river using the small water craft access ramp; try your luck at a spot of fishing from the jetty; or get your friends together for a BBQ at Mrs Herbert’s Park.

Mrs Herbert’s Park is ideally located right on the calm waters of Freshwater Bay and is an off-lead dog exercise area. Within the park is the Boat Shed Collection containing approximately 700 artefacts associated with the history of boating, which is noted as a collection of national significance.

At the east end of Osborne Parade you’ll find a look-out which is ideal for bird-spotting. The river and foreshore is a habitat that favours several birds not normally seen elsewhere in Claremont. In addition, the naturally-vegetated escarpment is important for bush birds. Australian Pelican, Eastern Osprey and Australian Pied Oystercatcher are regularly seen, and Nankeen Night-Herons gather on the jetty, particularly in summer.

Claremont Yacht Club Claremont Yacht Club is ideally situated in the shelter of the Claremont Foreshore, almost midway between Fremantle Harbour and Perth City. It is the perfect spot to head off for a cruise or sailing any time of the year. The Club complements the great lifestyle that Claremont offers with a number of membership options available from social to senior. The Club hosts regular events including themed dinners, kids’ activities and discover sailing days.

See claremontyachtclub.org.au for more details.

Conservation and Management The Town of Claremont has a Foreshore Management Plan and a Foreshore Advisory Committee, who have responsibility to enhance the identity and character of the foreshore, protect the natural environment and encourage wildlife, and increase the amenity for residents and visitors to the foreshore.

“The Advisory Committee is currently working on sand drift and erosion along the foreshore, and developing a sand management plan to support and retain the sand bank and to reduce river bank erosion.” Cr Peter Telford

Join us for our next History in a Coffee Cup talk “Jetties and Jellyfish” to learn all about the Claremont Foreshore. Date – Thursday 4 February 2021Time – 10amLocation – In front of the Boatshed, Mrs Herbert’s Park

Shady streets beat the heat Claremont is often referred to as the ‘leafy suburb in the western suburbs’, and a nation-wide study on the impact of green canopy cover revealed just how true this is. Of all local governments across WA, the Town scored the highest rating in an index indicating our high tree, shrub and green cover actually reduces our vulnerability to the impacts of heat.

Creating and protecting the leafy streets is part of the Town’s responsibility and is guided by a Council approved Street Tree Master Plan. This Plan outlines the tree options for each street in Claremont, which is determined by a number of factors including existing streetscape aesthetic; attractive appearance and canopy cover; suitability to Perth’s climate as well as drought tolerance; pathogen and pest resistance; growth rate and form, inclusive of subsurface; increased biodiversity and habitat for fauna; ongoing maintenance requirements, and availability from plant nurseries.

“Street trees are an important element of our urban forest, creating an identity for each street, providing a habitat for animals, all while reducing air pollution and temperature.” Cr Kate Main said. “Our Street Tree Master Plan will be reviewed next year to make sure the trees chosen still reflect our criteria. Unfortunately the dieback pathogen has affected the lifespan of the Agonis (Peppermint) Tree, and we need to take that into consideration with our future planning”.

Art & aboutSince the adoption of the Town’s Public Art Policy in 2012, new, exciting and engaging artworks have emerged all around our Town. These artworks can be seen in our parks, town centre streets and soon to be discovered at Lake Claremont.

Council has recently accepted a private donation of a sculpture from local artist, Simon Youngleson to be located at Lake Claremont. The brief for Youngleson was to recognise the importance and contribution of the elderly in our community, especially given the impact that COVID-19 has had on this demographic. Youngleson has taken this brief, and created a sympathetic artwork that has portrayed the fragility and solidarity of an elderly couple.

“The arts plays an important role in community enrichment, and the Town is incredibly lucky to have been gifted with a bespoke work by prominent West Australian sculptor Youngleson”, said Cr Jill Goetze. “I am pleased that the Town has commissioned Brenton See to create a mural for the Lake, depicting the flora and fauna of the area, a genre that he is well known and respected for.”

The Friends of Lake Claremont welcome the new works, and President Nick Cook relayed “Lake Claremont is an important ecological and recreational space for the community, and it will be further enhanced with artworks such as Brenton and Simon’s works that will be the first in the creation of an inspiring art trail for everyone to enjoy.”

To find the locations of other public artworks in our Town, please visit the Arts section of our website.

The very first school in Claremont was the Freshwater Bay Public Mixed School, built in 1862 for the children of the Pensioner Guards who were brought out to supervise the convicts from the 1850s. Mrs Anne Herbert was the teacher of the small number of students that included her own children. The school building remains today preserved as Claremont Museum and the Town still acknowledges the contributions of Mrs Herbert through the Museum’s school incursions and excursions.

The Claremont area has a great selection of schools. In fact over 30 schools have been established in Claremont, many of which still remain today. The suburb has always been seen as an excellent location for education, removed from the city and situated on the river, with fresh air making it a healthy place for learning.

A government school has been a fixture on Bay View Terrace since 1893 even though its name has changed 6 times! Starting as Claremont State School with only one classroom and the teacher living on site, the school grew and changed over time becoming a demonstration school for practicing teachers and offering a high school section in the forties and fifties. Many children enjoyed their time at this local school, including John Beaton, who attended from 1946 – 1956; “Life is a lottery. I was lucky to have got a ticket that took me to Claremont School.”

Today it is known as Freshwater Bay Primary School, which is a lovely nod to the history of schooling in our suburb.

Mermaids make a splash Come witness true magic this summer at Claremont Aquatic Centre’s Family Fun Day, where some large and colourful tails will be an unusual sight.

Visitors will be enchanted by these mystical mermaids appearing in the pools from 12pm-1pm at each Family Fun Day, performing tricks and posing for photos with fans of these fantasy creatures.

“We swim, splash, interact in the water, tell stories of the ocean and love taking “shell-fies” with people,” Mermaid Jess said. “If you’re brave enough to get wet, then come jump in with us!”

Creating gemsThe Claremont Community Hub and Library will be proud owners of a new piece of artwork in the coming weeks, created by the most important artists of all – children of the Claremont community.

Children (and keen adults!) will be taking part in workshops with local artist Sean Adamas throughout January to create a ceiling-suspended paper sculpture installation entitled Gems.

Sean said the idea came from seeing chunky bead necklaces and resin jewellery with the concept then evolving into a crystal pendant installation.

“I am aiming to fill half of the ceiling space of the Hub Meeting Room,” Sean said. “The arrangement will resemble an undulating pattern, creating a sense of movement to the installation. Hopefully it will invite people to inspect the gems up close and see the finer details on each gem.”

There are eight gem designs to select from. Based on white paper, participants will be able to customise their pieces with colouring-in, drawing patterns or even embellishing the gems.

“It will be a rewarding activity when, at the end of the workshop series, the participants can identify the pieces they have created and see their contribution in the final product,” Sean said.

“A sense of ownership is essential in community art installations, and this workshop is aimed to nurture individuality, creativity as well as a sense of group achievement.”

The Gems installation workshops will be taking place on the 13, 20, and 27 January 2021. There’s a range of other activities happening at the Claremont Community Hub and Library these school holidays. For details visit the Town’s website.

Alt Layout

And there’s plenty more on offer over the course of the event including bouncy castles, pool inflatables, land-based games and non-stop dive boards to keep kids of all ages entertained.

January’s Family Fun Day will also be the first event with access to the pool’s new family and all access changing rooms due to open this month.

The improvements include an accessible change room and separate ambulant toilet, two family-friendly change rooms as well as four outside showers, making it the perfect place for a day out with the whole this summer.
