Glenorchy Gazett e February 2019 3 Community News CBD revitalisation takes shape THE Glenorchy CBD Revitalisation Project is continuing to take shape with stage three offi cially launched late last month. The launch event saw guests entertained by the Glenorchy City Concert Brass before receiving essential information and updates on the project by Glenorchy Mayor Kristie Johnston and Local Member for Clark Elise Archer. Mayor Johnston said it was “delightful” to watch community members and businesses come together to celebrate the launch of the new CBD, one that would embody a welcoming city. “Our upgraded CBD will celebrate Glenorchy’s image and pride, as well as provide a great environment for people during both day and night activities,” she said. “It will encourage people to enjoy our arts, heritage and public spaces, increasing accessibility, safety and exploration of our CBD.” The highlight of the launch was the opportunity for the community to communicate with the Glenorchy CBD Project Reference Group. The Project Reference Group is made up of individuals from businesses, emergency services, transport organisations, and education providers. It has and will continue to work closely with the City of Glenorchy’s CBD Project team to provide advice, support, and information while the planning and delivery of the project takes place. The group offers accurate information and updates, helping community members to understand more about the aims and desired out- comes of the project.

COUNCIL DECISIONS: DECISIONS FROM THE COUNCIL MEETING ON 17 DECEMBER 2018 INCLUDED: CHANGES TO JACKSON STREET LANDFILL FEES Council adopted changes to its landfill operations fees and charges for the Jackson Street landfill. The fee is necessary to encourage better separation of waste categories and the diversion of waste away from Jackson Street, as the landfill approaches the end of its usable life. This has been achieved by increasing the fees for commercial users, diverting Council waste to the Copping landfill, and reducing commercial waste by providing incentives to commercial operators to separate mixed waste. The fees for non-commercial users have not changed.

THE Claremont Petan- que Club is on a roll after celebrating its Inauguration Day at Claremont’s Cadbury Sports Grounds recently. A boules-style sport developed in France in the late 1800s, petanque is played in 65 countries around the world and is increasingly popular in Tasmania. With the Bayside Boules Petanque Club’s facilities in Sandy Bay overrun with keen players, Ron Jones and friends decided to take petanque to Hobart’s northern suburbs. “That terrain is shared by several clubs and social groups so it was becoming quite congested, being used seven days a week,” Mr Jones said. “We were looking to expand the popularity of petanque further out into the suburbs so we ap- proached the Glenorchy City Council and asked if they had any suitable locations.” They found one at the Cadbury Sports Grounds, turning space behind the tennis court into a new petanque surface, known as a piste. People have been playing there regularly since 2015, but the Claremont Petanque Club only became offi cially incorporated late last year. Club members and in- ON A ROLL vited guests gathered on 25 January for the ceremonial opening of the clubhouse Rookie petanque player Vicki Slatt er, Claremont Petanque Club secretary Ron Jones, Terry Dando from the Bayside Petanque Club, and Claremont player Annett e Horsler at the Claremont and a twilight barbecue din- Petanque Club’s inaugurati on celebrati ons on Friday 25 January. ner, before enjoying a few dictability. and the uncertainty of it. varying degrees of diffi cultly, Orford and Burnie.” their fi rst three sessions for social games of petanque. “You play on a surface “(More serious players) with dips and hollows and The new Claremont club free, with instruction and Mr Jones, who is now that is unforgiving 99 per try to build a set of skills mounds. will play three times a week boules available. secretary of the Claremont cent of the time,” he said. that they can adapt to the “Sandy Bay is completely in summer, including Friday For more information, club, said people of all ages “Sixty per cent of people different surfaces they play different than the pistes at twilight sessions, and twice phone Jeannie on 0418 582 and abilities enjoyed the who play petanque play for on.
