It aims to provide a framework for an integrated, strategic approach to the planning and provision of community facilities; and to deliver a network of facilities that collectively meet the needs of the Ku-ring-gai community into the future. Development of this strategy included a review of existing Council-owned and operated community facilities and identification of provision gaps. The review and analysis determined that Ku-ring-gai provides a high number of community facilities, however many of these are small, older facilities that are not built for purpose. The study also found some inequality in terms of the distribution of community facilities across the LGA, with the northern sector particularly underprovided when considering floor space to population size. Also undertaken was an analysis of population growth and change to determine future needs and community facility requirements. The process involved consideration of key trends in community facility provision, which informed the development of proposed principles to guide the future planning and design of facilities. These proposed guiding principles aim to assist the delivery of well-located and connected, functional, relevant, valued, safe and sustainable facilities in Ku-ring-gai. One of the key principles proposes the implementation of a network of facilities that collectively meet the needs of the Ku-ring-gai community through the provision of different offerings. It is proposed that this network be arranged in a hierarchy consisting of high order, specialist sub-regional facilities serving the wider LGA (e.g. central libraries, performing arts, exhibition and event facilities), district facilities serving a number of suburbs (e.g. branch libraries and multipurpose community centres) as well as local and / or neighbourhood facilities that meet the needs of their immediate, surrounding communities (e.g. smaller community halls and centres). The process also involved determining appropriate standards for community facilities. These standards were applied to the Ku-ring-gai LGA context to formulate a strategy for community facility provision, which includes the following key recommendations: » Provision of a sub-regional, cultural facility and library in the LGA’s primary local centre of Gordon and co-located with Council Administration and Chambers. This supports Council’s proposal to develop a new civic/cultural precinct in Gordon » A performing arts hub in Killara » Development of three new district community hubs in the secondary local centres of Turramurra, St Ives and Lindfield. These hubs would ideally co-locate branch libraries, multipurpose community centre space and space for community service provision » The relocation/incorporation of a number of existing facilities into the new district hubs » Retention and upgrade of a number of local or neighbourhood level facilities » Provision of a select number of new local facilities to support the district community hubs where required. The strategy also acknowledges and considers the role of facilities proposed by Council as part of the potential St Ives Showground Precinct which will include community event, entertainment and education spaces; and the proposed restoration of the Marian Street Theatre in Killara as a hub for the performing arts. Ku-ring-gai Community Facilities Strategy Elton Consulting 5 The strategy proposes the following be undertaken as part of the planning process: » Concept planning studies for all new facilities (similar to that already undertaken for the Lindfield and Turramurra district facilities) » Identification of opportunities for partnerships in the delivery of facilities and the possible integration of other land uses in the same manner as the Lindfield Village Hub and Turramurra Community Hub currently being undertaken by Council (possible other land uses include commercial, retail, residential or other community uses) » Consultation with the community throughout planning and design processes » Development of a program and management model by Council to determine an approach to facility programming, management, administration and staffing arrangements. This strategy is intended to provide a blueprint for the future provision of community facilities across the Ku-ring-gai LGA. It aims to provide a holistic vision that will guide all future decisions relating to community facilities through a clear, logical and coordinated process towards a predetermined and agreed goal. This document is the first of four that includes: » Part 1 – Community centres and libraries » Part 2 – Arts and Creative Spaces » Part 3 – Community Services » Part 4 – Management model. Key Definitions Community Publicly owned buildings that are provided, in this case by Local Government, to facilities meet the needs of local communities. Community facilities provide spaces for people to engage in activities and programs that are often focussed around learning, leisure, health and wellbeing, child development, cultural recognition and celebration, and artistic and cultural expression. Community facilities include community centres, libraries, arts and creative spaces, community halls and can include spaces from which community services operate. Community hub The co-location within a building or a precinct of a number of community facilities including community centres, libraries and arts and creative spaces. Community hubs are gathering places where members of the community can access a range of community activities, programs, services and events. They are usually located in more centralised, accessible locations with good links to public transport. Community Community centres are publicly owned facilities that community groups can hire centre to conduct activities, classes and programs. While formal programs and classes are an important feature of community centres they are also important as informal gathering places and sources of community information and education. Community Community services include a wide range of support services often delivered by services non-government organisations that are aimed at assisting and supporting community members with particular needs. Services can be focussed on demographic or other groups such as children, families, youth, older people or people with disabilities. 6 Ku-ring-gai Community Facilities Strategy Elton Consulting 2 Introduction 2.1 Purpose and outline This report documents part one of a process being undertaken by Ku-ring-gai Council to develop a strategy for the provision of community facilities across the Ku-ring-gai LGA. The Ku-ring-gai Community Facilities Strategy: Part 1 – Community centres and libraries provides a framework for the future provision of community centres and libraries. It aims to assist Council to take an integrated, strategic approach to the planning and provision of community facilities and to deliver a network of facilities that collectively meet the needs of the Ku-ring-gai community into the future.

Preface THIS SHORT HISTORY of South Turramurra has been compiled for the Kissing Point Progress Association Incorporated. The compilers are Nigel Barbour, Margaret Booth and Eoin Wilkinson. Additional editorial and other support came from Stuart Inder, Dariel Larkins, Arthur Pynor, Betty Wilkinson and a number of other residents of South Turramurra. Much of the material on land development is based on a thesis by Nigel Barbour, which was accepted at Macquarie University for a Master's degree. The work is intended as a compact introduction, particularly for new residents. It describes some aspects of this small community and traces some of the more important events which have shaped it. The KPPA hopes that readers will contact it with corrections or additions, and that, in time, a more extensive study of this community's past will be compiled, probably by other hands.
