ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS TAKEN ON NOTICE [AGENDA ITEM 5] Officers provided responses to questions taken on notice at the Council meeting of Tuesday 27 June 2017. G.2/7/17 MR FAULKNER: PROPOSAL TO BUILD A SKATE PARK ON THE CHARLES AND DOROTHY COOTE RESERVE, MADORA BAY (MINUTE G.32/6/17 REFERS) With reference to a proposal to build a skate park on the Charles and Dorothy Coote Reserve in Madora Bay with monies from the Royalties for Regions Program, Mr Faulker asked: 1 Where is the proposed plan for the reduction of green open space in the park by the placement of a skate park in the Reserve? 2 What information was given by Council to the affected ratepayers with regard to the proposed skate park? 3 When was a meeting of Council held, and if so what public notice was displayed, in regard to the sever impact on the residents of such a proposal. How many ratepayers were involved in the planning process? 4 In the past 12-months, the City has made a fantastic effort to upgrade the Charles and Dorothy Coote Reserve, but was the work and money spent only in preparation for the proposed skate park? 5 Given the previous proposal put forward last year for the use of this reserve, is this move by Council an attempt to put a skate park into a residential area, which is totally at odds with the surrounding environment. Response: 1. There is currently no plan in place for the construction of a skate park at Charles and Dorothy Coote Reserve. The City has considered a proposed ‘Pump Track’ to be located on the Reserve. The Pump track is a modular construction that encourages the use of scooters and BMX and the like by young users. The City can be clear that the intention was never to install a skate park at this facility. MINUTES OF COUNCIL MEETING: TUESDAY 11 JULY 2017 PAGE 3 2. City officers had only been made aware of funding being made available through the Royalties for Regions program in mid-June 2017, the funds came via a State Election commitment by the Labor Party. The City would plan to carry out community consultation through the Madora Bay residents association in due course. 3. There is currently no design in place for the ‘Pump Track’ location or installation on the Reserve. 4. The improvements to the Charles and Dorothy Coote Reserve over the past 12 months have been through the City of Mandurah’s capital works program, the work has been done based on resident feedback from the Community meeting concerning the proposed Mandurah Volunteer Fire Fighters relocation to Madora Bay. In September 2016 City Officers met with the Madora Bay Residents Association in order to understand what residents wanted the City to prioritise moving forward. An entry level BMX track was requested and subsequently listed in the 2017/18 Draft Capital budget for consideration. The City continues to liaise with the Madora Bay Residents Association regarding improvements to the area. 5. Any possible upgrades to Charles and Dorothy Coote Reserve now and in the future will be undertaken with the intention to provide an improved amenity for the broad population living within Madora Bay.

  • Rockingham to Perth Bike Ride
    Cycling Rockingham to Perth bike route Ride 1 - Rockingham to Wellard There are two bicycle routes from Rockingham that link up with the Kwinana Freeway shared path. Both options are a combination of shared path and on-road routes. Route Summary Option 1 is a 17km trip commencing at Rockingham Beach then following the coast around Warnbro Sound foreshore to Waikiki and along Safety Bay Road to the southern most end of the Kwinana Freeway where the shared path commences. Route Detail Rockingham’s heritage as an early Western Australian settlement is highlighted with the original Rockingham Beach School, Police Station and Timber Railway sites featured in this area. In addition, the Rockingham Hotel built in 1898, the Art Deco style Rockingham Museum built in 1946 and the Trocadero Dance Hall built in 1933 are all located at the start of the route. From Rockingham Beach, a shared path will take you west along the beach front to Safety Bay Road then south past Lake Richmond. Turn into Boundary Road to access the coastal path. The path along Shoalwater Bay and Safety Bay passes Penguin Island and several heritage sites including the Safety Bay Yacht Club built in 1947. This path is very popular with cyclists and walkers, particularly on weekends. The route is very flat but exposed to strong ocean winds particularly during the afternoon in summer. There are several shops in Safety Bay, should you want some refreshments whilst taking in the coastal views. Continue along the Safety Bay Road shared path for about 6km to the Warnbro Train Station (pictured below).

  • Priorities for Western Australia July 2015 » Federal Priorities for Western Australia 2015
    For the better 6 October 2015 Committee Secretary Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 [email protected] Dear Ms McDonald RAC's response to the Motor Vehicle Standards (Cheaper Transport) Bill 2014 Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Motor Vehicle Standards (Cheaper Transport) Bill 2014 (the Bill). As a leading advocate on the mobility issues and challenges facing Western Australia (WA), RAC is pleased to provide this response on behalf of over 820,000 members. RAC works collaboratively with all levels of Government to ensure Western Australians have access to safe, accessible, and sustainable mobility options. RAC is making a real contribution to sustainable mobility in Western Australia by delivering the RAC Electric Highway®. The first of its kind in Australia, it builds on an idea by a Western Australian community based committee and is a network of publicly accessible electric vehicle fast-charging stations located between Perth and Augusta. Road transport remains the dominant means of transport for goods and passengers and consistently accounts for around three quarters of transport energy use. Within this, petrol and diesel fuels make up around three quarters of transport fuel used and as a result small improvements in fuel efficiency can have a significant impact on air quality and carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. Now is an opportune time to ensure Western Australian motorists have access to safe, affordable and efficient vehicles. The 2014 National Transport Commission's Information Paper found Australia's average C02 emissions for passenger cars in 2013 was 182g/km and the industry average was 192g/km across both passenger cars and rac.com.au light vehicles.
