PIZZEY DRIVE 4 1 COMMUNITY CONSULTATION FINDINGS: Due to its organic unplanned growth the road and car park systems are 7 poorly connected. As the eastern section of the park was originally a waste 7 fill site and later used for waste transfer, the ground condition/subgrade varies with the result that the roads tend to be uneven in many places and tend to deteriorate with use. There is very little kerb and channel or edging. The park is split in two with east and west not connected by road. Road names are poorly defined which creates issues when emergency 10 services are called out for sporting events. The road layouts within the 8 PACIFIC AVENUE park in the lower areas serving football and athletics are difficult to use and lack connectivity with road line markings non-existent in these areas. A system of gates deters “rat running”, and at the same time affects park Road corridor user connectivity.

PIZZEY DRIVE
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION FINDINGS: Currently the path system lacks connectivity and is unsafe. The path system throughout the park has developed in an ad hoc manner to suit the immediate needs of the time. A layer of designed path connection has been attempted but is incomplete. The path hierarchy is poorly defined. Access into the park from the entries is poorly defined with no pedestrian path access from Pacific Avenue and Cottesloe Drive. Throughout the park pedestrians must share the road pavement in many areas. There are no clearly defined connected cycle paths. Despite these shortfalls the path PACIFIC AVENUE network is highly utilised by walkers, joggers and casual cyclists.
The paths are a mix of sealed (concrete), unsealed and informal tracks.
Miami State School has very high levels of active transport that utilise the park as part of their journey. SONIA ST

PACIFIC AVE
PIZZEY DRIVE
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION FINDINGS: With a wide mix of uses and sporting codes – a system of fencing is required for a range of purposes.
Over time the fencing has been installed to suit the needs of the park users and or satisfy safety requirements. The majority of fencing is galvanised chainmesh and steel post of varying heights. Assorted bollards, timber log/ rail barriers are typically found around the car parks. Gates are positioned at access points and along some of the roads for maintenance access and PACIFIC AVENUE event/park management. There are four main fencing types:
1. Barrier fencing to exclude access generally from playing fields – the height and location determined by the sporting code. 2. Boundary fencing to the park perimeter against adjoining property with
