File Ref: A05937


Author: Phil Harris


Attachments: DWS-4, DWS-5, DWS-6

Summary

This report is to provide additional information as requested at the Withers Advisory Committee

meeting on 23 December 2013 relating to the construction on Paths in Withers.

14 February 2014


______________________________________________________________________________

Page 7


That the committee approves the construction of the following paths:-

• Construct New Path Devonshire Street $170,000

• Construct New Path Littlefair Drive $105,000

• Construct Path connecting PAW (F) to

o Jacaranda Place to Hudson Road path $9,000

Background

At the Withers Advisory Committee meeting 23 December 2013, 9 (nine) projects that were able to

be delivered in the short term were presented to the Withers Advisory Committee. The Committee

endorsed the commencement of 3 (three) projects and requested further investigation of the

remaining 6 (six).

Devonshire Street and Littlefair Drive have been identified in the various Withers Reports and

other correspondence as priority linkages for the construction of paths in the Withers area.

A 2013 condition assessment inspection (DWS-4) has confirmed that of the 11,480 meters of

roadway without paths in Withers twelve (12) have been assessed as priority one for construction

based on connectivity to

• Educational facilities

• Traffic volumes

• Public transport routes

• Shopping facilities

• Medical facilities

• Community facilities including libraries

• Senior Citizen complexes

• Recreational facilities


The Withers Advisory Committee has delegated authority to approve projects subject to conditions

of Council Decisions 34/14.


Not Applicable

Officer Comments

The Committee requested additional information of the proposed construction of Paths Projects at

its meeting of 23 December 2013. Committee members have received via email details of the

proposed path alignment and details on costing. Further details of each proposal are:-

14 February 2014


______________________________________________________________________________

Page 8

Devonshire Street Path – DWS-5

A 760 meter link connecting retail, community, medical, educational, recreational facilities and

public transport infrastructure. There are residents of Devonshire Road who are forced to drive

mobility devices on the road which also utilised by trucks and buses.

The path construction will is estimated to cost $170,000 inclusive of site preparation, traffic

management and reinstatement of verges and driveways.

Littlefair Drive – DWS-6

A 400 meter section of path that provides linkages to retail, community, medical, educational,

recreational facilities and public transport infrastructure. The road alignment and existing property

driveways will result in higher construction costs per meter when compared to the proposed

Devonshire Street path.

The path construction will is estimated to cost $105,0000 inclusive of site preparation, traffic

management and reinstatement of verges and driveways.

Additional Path Construction

Following recent feedback from community members it is proposed that a short section of path be

constructed between PAW (F) that connects Whitley Place to Open Space behind the library and

the existing path that connects Jacaranda Place to Hudson Road. At the present time the PAW path

terminates behind the library and is not a suitable route for people on mobility devices.

While it is acknowledged that theses PAWs have been identified for closure until suitable road

connections are constructed closure of PAWs C, D and G will increase pedestrian movements on

this path.

The proposed path length is 60 meters with an estimated cost of $9,000.

Another path key linkage identified as a Priority One during the condition assessment survey and

modelling is the continuation of the Lockwood Court (Washington Avenue to Littlefair Drive

section). The 225 meter gap is a pedestrian route for children accessing St Joseph’s School or the

people who utilise the child care facilities on Lockwood Court


Footpath construction is an approved project funded as a Withers Action Plan.


The Withers Advisory Committee has been provided with drawings showing all roads in Withers

with and without paths. The Devonshire Street footpath has previously been raised at Council and

subject to discussion with the City of Bunbury Access Committee Executive Officer due to the

complaints about people on mobility devices having to drive on the road.

Littlefair Drive was included in both Withers Action Plan and Withers Urban Renewal community

consultation feedback.

6.4 Review of Priority list from Withers Action Plan

Maze – Construct Graffiti Wall Stage 1

File Ref: A05937


Author: Phil Harris

Summary

At the Withers Advisory Committee meeting on 23 December 2013 the committee suggested that

the project to construct Stage One of the Graffiti Wall be removed as a priority from the list of

Withers Action Plan Projects.


That the committee :-

1) Approve the removal of the Graffiti Wall – Stage 1 (Maze) from the Withers Action Plan

Priority projects.

2) Transfer the allocated funding of $60,000 in 2013/2014 to the CCTV Installation Project.

Background



endorsed the commencement of 3 (three) projects and requested further investigation of the

remaining 6 (six).

The Maze Project was identified in the Revised Withers Action Plan as a priority in 2012 with a

capital cost to construct estimated to be in excess of $200,000 To spread expenditure over a

number of years City officers staged the project over three years with the intent of modular

construction.


The Withers Advisory Committee has delegated authority to endorse recommendations or to

amend recommendations subject to conditions as per Council Decisions 34/14.

Officer Comments

Following advice from the Withers Advisory Committee meeting of 23 December 2013 that the

project was not a priority further feedback from Committee members has been received that the

$60,000 identified for this project be reallocated to the CCTV Project.


Funding is available within the approved Withers Action Plan Projects. In accordance with Council

Decision 34/14 the change in priorities will need to be reported to Council.


The following feedback has been received from Committee member Joanna Hugues-dit-Ciles

Construct Graffiti Wall – Stage 1 $60,000

As the Withers Committee all agreed at our inaugural meeting that the graffiti wall was not

needed and certainly not a priority, could the money be diverted to more urgent matters such

as more CCTV cameras and also towards maybe footpaths.

6.5 Withers Kitchen and Waterwise Garden

File Ref: A05714

Applicant/Proponent: Officer Report

Author: Deanna Sullivan, Team Leader Community Development

Executive: Stephanie Addison-Brown, Director Community Development

Attachments: Nil

Summary

The City of Bunbury and the South West Development Commission (CoB & SWDC) in conjunction

with the Withers Community have proposed the development of a Kitchen and Waterwise Garden

at the Withers Library.


That the Withers Advisory Committee note the allocation of $10,000 from PR-3260 ‘Placemaking

Strategies’ for the development of a ‘Kitchen and Waterwise Garden’ at the Withers Library in

partnership with the City of Bunbury, South West Development Commission and the Withers

Community.

Background

Following the development of the Withers Urban Renewal Strategy (WURS) it is clear that there is

bipartisan interest in improving quality of life for Withers residents and improving the perception of

Withers by both the City of Bunbury and the South West Development Commission. With this in

mind it is suggested that both agencies partner in funding the development of a Kitchen and

Waterwise Garden at the Withers Library.

14 February 2014


______________________________________________________________________________

Page 11

The Withers Urban Renewal Strategy – A Village in the City (Draft December 2012) identifies the

need to establish a Place Management Team and supporting structure to facilitate delivery of the

Strategy.

“Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public

spaces. It involves looking at, listening to, and asking questions of the people who live, work and

play in a particular space, to discover their needs and aspirations. This information is then used to

create a common vision for that place. The vision can evolve quickly into an implementation

strategy, beginning with small-scale, do-able improvements that can immediately bring benefits to

public spaces and the people who use them."

"Placemaking capitalises on a local community’s assets, inspiration, and potential, ultimately

creating good public spaces that promote people’s health, happiness, and wellbeing… this process

is essential–even sacred–to people who truly care about the places in their lives.”

Officer Comments

Ownership of a Community Garden concept can often be a stumbling block for some

communities’ especially those with limited capacity to understand and be involved in the start-up

of a project of this nature. This can often mean that projects like this fail to even get off the ground

as people agree on the general concept but don’t have the capacity to work together, negotiate

and come to a consensus about how it might look, feel, operate and be built. It is intended that by

agencies (SWDC & CoB) “kick-starting” this project once established there gradually be enough

impetus- as community capacity increases- for the handover of some of the ownership to a

supported community committee to occur, similar to a the process employed by the Healthy

Communities project.


This project is approved in the 2013/2014 Budget and is funded separately to the projects for the

Withers Action Plan.


The purpose of this report and recommendation is to provide the Wither’s Advisory Committee

with the opportunity to provide feedback into the proposed Community Garden.

14 February 2014


______________________________________________________________________________

Page 12

Joanna Hugues-dit-Ciles has submitted the following feedback which supports the introduction of a

Community Garden at the Withers library, with the addition of fencing.

It would be really worthwhile putting a fence around the library stopping movement

behind, increasing security of the building. The area fenced behind the library could be

turned into a garden, community garden which would add value to the newly revamped

library and create a valuable social hub bringing people together through gardening and

related activities. This would create a great forum to introduce also in the library

workshops on healthy eating and growing food in one's garden.

6.6 CCTV Installation

File Ref: A05937


Author: Phil Harris


Attachments: DWS-7

Summary

The report provides an update on the CCTV project which was approved by Council in January 2014.


That the committee :-

1) Note the proposed CCTV Zones as indicated on DWS-7.

2) Approve the installation of CCTV in Zone One 1 (Red) on DWS-7 as priority 1 with the Zone

Two (2) Pink, Zone Three (3) Blue and Zone four (4) Yellow to follow subject to available

funding

3) Note the transfer of $60,000 from the Graffiti Wall Project to the CCTV Project

4) Request officers continue to seek grant funding to supplement and accelerate the

extension of the CCTV network in the Withers area.

Background



endorsed the commencement of 3 (three) projects including this CCTV project.

Works & Services staff have been working closely with Police, the City’s Community Law and

Information Technology staff to investigate and develop a program for the installation of a CCTV

network in the Withers area. The network would be hosted at the Withers Library with a wireless

link via the South West Sports Centre to the City’s CCTV data storage and monitoring area in the

Stephen Street Offices and the Bunbury Police Station.

14 February 2014


______________________________________________________________________________

Page 13

The CCTV systems within the City are monitored on a limited basis with all vision recorded for

review should an incident occur outside monitoring periods.

Four distinct zones have been identified and are currently with company to confirm the suitability

and cost of the proposed network. The cost of all four zones is estimated to be in the vicinity of

$300,000 however it is possible to install as zones, extending as funds become available.





There is Legislation covering the use and monitoring of CCTV networks.

Officer Comments

The type, quantity and cost of the equipment required may not be confirmed until early March

when a further report will be bought to the committee.

The City is investigating other funding options at a State and Federal level to supplement and

accelerate the CCTV program in Withers.


Funding is available within the approved Withers Action Plan Projects. In accordance with Council

Decision 34/14.


The following feedback has been received from Committee member Joanna Hugues-dit-Ciles

Construct Graffiti Wall – Stage 1 $60,000

As the Withers Committee all agreed at our inaugural meeting that the graffiti wall was not

needed and certainly not a priority, could the money be diverted to more urgent matters such

7. General Business

Meeting Friday 11 April 2014

The Withers Community Room has a prior booking at 1:00pm on Friday 11 April 2014.

Committee to consider the following options:-

• Meeting time to be changed for this meeting to 2:30 held in the Withers Community Room.

• Venue to be changed for this meeting to the Ocean Room at the City of Bunbury Stephen

Street Office and time of meeting to be 1:00pm.

Questions from Committee Members

1. Why in the Withers renewal process, no one had asked the question why the home west housing in

front of Whitley place that was torn down over 8 years ago is not being rebuild for low socio

economic housing . In addition, now that the walkway along this area has been closed, the small

reserve at the back can also no longer be accessed by residents from Jaccaranda.

This area would be ideal for building flats for homes west as infrastructure is already present from

the previous houses that were on Whitley place. Can this be looked at ?

Response

The questions will be referred to the Department of Housing.

2. Is there a 'formula' used to decide the number of lights and lamp posts in any one street in and

around the city of Bunbury? ie every second or third post must have a light or every corner must

have a light, etc.

Response

In many older suburbs which are fitted with overhead power lines, Western Power installed a

wooden pole on every second property boundary. The City of Bunbury chose to have streetlights

installed on every second wooden pole. As the typical quarter acre block had a frontage of 20.12

metres this meant that streetlights were spaced every 80.48 metres, along with streetlights placed

at each intersection. This was a theme undertaken by many Local Governments until 1986

The Australian Standard relating to street lighting is AS 1158 which contains five different

categories of vehicle lighting ( V1 – V5 ) based on the road hierarchy, i.e. Freeway, District

Distributor, Local Distributor, Collector or Access Road. AS 1158 also provides three different

categories of pedestrian lighting ( P1 – P3 ).

Once you have selected the appropriate category, the design of compliant lighting can then be

achieved in many different ways depending on the type of luminaire chosen ( i.e. 50watt, 80watt,

125watt, 250watt ) and the height of the pole chosen (i.e. 4.5m, 6m, 10.5m, 14m ).

All newer subdivisions created with underground power have had street lighting installed which is

compliant with AS 1158.

Over the last several years the City of Bunbury has installed AS 1158 compliant street lighting along

Ocean Drive, Sandridge Road, Blair Street and Picton Road. These street lights are at approximately

60 metre centres.

14 February 2014


______________________________________________________________________________

Page 16

3. How is it determined which streets have/get footpaths?

Response

All new sub divisions have path network constructed as standard practice. The suburb of Withers

was designed and constructed at a time when footpaths on every road was not a standard

condition of subdivision.

With exception of the Withers area the City is concentrating on the repair and reconstruction of

existing paths that are in very poor condition. Agenda Item 6.3 details some of the criteria for

determining path construction priorities.

The breakdown of suburbs in the City of Bunbury without paths in linear meters is

• Bunbury – 7,750m

• Carey Park – 20,790m

• College Grove – 4,500m

• Davenport – 300m

• East Bunbury – 20,500m

• Glen Iris – 14,550m

• Pelican Point – 3,300m

• South Bunbury – 30,550m

• Usher – 11,000m

• Vittoria – 2,250m

• Withers – 11,480m

If all of the above areas were to have paths constructed from concrete with a width of 2m, the

estimated cost for the city is $28,003,800
