3.3. Dorothy Laver Reserve West Services Special Committee Agenda 12/11/18 3.3 Dorothy Laver Reserve West - Consultation Feedback Abstract Council has undertaken public consultation on a proposal to install a synthetic sports surface at Dorothy Laver Reserve West (DLRW). The purpose of this report is to table submissions received and provide an opportunity to hear verbal feedback, noting that the matter will then be reported to the Council meeting on 10 December 2018 for a decision on whether to proceed with the concept. Council’s Sport and Recreation Strategy 2016 (S&RS) identified sports experiencing high growth in demand that will require additional access to facilities in the future. Soccer is one of the priority sports for addressing the high growth in demand within the municipality and growth in soccer has continued at significant rates since the S&RS was developed. This growth has been driven particularly by increases in junior and female participation. There are two primary ways to provide adequate assets to respond to the significant demand increases in soccer. One is to add additional assets (through land purchases), and the other is to change existing assets so they can accommodate greater use. Practically, land of the size required to accommodate a sporting field is rarely if ever available in Boroondara and, if it were, the land would cost tens of millions of dollars to acquire. A strategy of increasing utilisation is therefore seen as the most effective solution to this municipal wide problem of demand for sport outstripping the current supply of sport facilities. It is for this reason Council is looking to synthetic playing surfaces as one solution to the challenges presented by increasing sport participation. Officers undertook an assessment of all sports grounds within the municipality to determine an appropriate location for a synthetic sports surface. All Council managed sports fields were assessed and scored against a set of criteria to determine their suitability for construction of a synthetic surface. These criteria included physical constraints, heritage, character, impact of residents, impact on park users, and potential for increased use. Dorothy Laver Reserve West was identified as a preferred location and community consultation was undertaken. Formal consultation commenced on 22 June 2018. This involved: A letter and information sheet delivered to 393 homes within a 500m radius of DLRW Posters displayed around DLRW to inform park users of the proposal ‘Have Your Say’ survey on Boroondara’s website A community information sessions on 26 June and 18 July 2018 Direct engagement meetings with committee members from impacted clubs. Community consultation closed 24 July, with sporting clubs provided additional time to submit a club proposal. Club submissions were received in the ensuing period, with the final club submission received on 25 October 2018. Officers flag there were issues with the early part of the consultation as information regarding the DLRW site was inadvertently made known to external parties prior to formal consultation being undertaken. This caused significant angst and concern for stakeholders including the Camberwell Lacrosse Club (CLC) who are the current City of Boroondara 16 Services Special Committee Agenda 12/11/18 winter tenant at DLRW, and Ashburton United Junior Football Club (AUJFC) who is a pre-season user of the ground, and it was not the level of robustness that we would have liked. In recognition of this, officers responded initially through the CEO and other officers meeting with the lacrosse club to acknowledge the issue and provide assurance regarding the consultation process moving forward. From there officers met with the CLC a further four times to hear their concerns and talk about issues and options. Officers also extended the offer to meet with all impacted clubs and the AUJFC took up this offer. Community feedback is described in the report and its attachments. The principle underpinning the officers’ approach in assessing and considering feedback has been to apply an evidence based analysis of best fit between assets and the users of those assets. Officers are seeking an outcome that provides a fair level of access to all clubs, while improving the overall capacity of the City’s sporting assets to address growing sport participation. For transparency, officers flag their preliminary view regarding the proposal having reviewed written submissions and other consultation feedback. The officer recommendation to Council on 10 December 2018 will be finalised once verbal submissions have been heard at this meeting, and may be amended following this final step in hearing community feedback. Officers’ preliminary view is to recommend proceeding with a synthetic surface at DLRW, which will result in: CLC being relocated and consolidating its use to Eric Raven Reserve (ERR), with future growth needs being accommodated through provision of an overflow ground Officers working with CLC on their future growth and ongoing viability Glen Iris Cricket Club (GICC) being relocated from DLRW to other suitable grounds, details of which are being worked through with GICC representatives and Cricket Victoria (CV) A number of pre-season tenants being relocated to other locations (including the AUJFC). This preliminary officer view is tabled, noting the proposal will generate capacity for an additional 104 hours of sport per week, responding to the City-wide challenge faced by Council with demand for sport exceeding the capacity of its sports field assets. It is officers’ view that the needs of all clubs impacted by this proposal can be fairly accommodated, and that all clubs can continue to enjoy sporting opportunities in Boroondara. Confidential information is contained in Attachment 8 as circulated in the confidential section of the agenda attachments, in accordance with Section 89(2) of the Local Government Act 1989, as the information includes personal affairs. If discussion of the confidential information in the attachments to this report is required in order for Council to make a decision, this item will be deferred to the confidential section of the agenda. City of Boroondara 17 Services Special Committee Agenda 12/11/18 Officers' recommendation That the Services Special Committee resolve to: 1. Receive and note submissions received through the community engagement and consultation process for the proposal to install a synthetic surface at Dorothy Laver Reserve West. 2. Note this matter will come before Council for a decision on whether to proceed, amend or abandon the proposal, at a Council meeting to be held on 10 December 2018. City of Boroondara 18 Services Special Committee Agenda 12/11/18 Responsible director: Bruce Dobson Environment & Infrastructure ___________________________________________________________________ 1. Purpose The purpose of this report is to table written submissions received, and hear verbal submissions, regarding the proposal to install a synthetic surface at Dorothy Laver Reserve West (the DLRW proposal). This matter will then come before Council for a decision on whether to proceed, amend or abandon the proposal, at a Council meeting to be held on 10 December 2018. 2. Policy implications and relevance to community plan and council plan The Boroondara Community Plan received over 11,500 responses across the two stages of consultation. 800 residents (11%) indicated in the Boroondara Community Plan feedback that sporting facilities (including clubs) were highly valued by the community. Over a quarter of these respondents (28%) directly requested that resources be put into maintaining, developing, and providing access to sporting facilities and infrastructure in the community. The Boroondara Open Space Strategy (BOSS) technical report and Council’s Sport and Recreation Strategy 2016 (S&RS) both identify the need for Council to respond to increased demand for active sport, and flag synthetic playing surfaces as a solution for investigation. 3. Background The background section of the report will provide the history and context of this project and will cover the topics of: a. The need for a synthetic sport surface b. The site selection methodology for a synthetic sport surface c. The proposed location for a synthetic sport surface The need for a synthetic sports surface The Sport and Recreation Strategy 2016 (S&RS) identified sports experiencing high growth in demand that will require additional access to facilities in the future. From a field sports perspective, Soccer is one of the priority sports for addressing the high growth in demand within the municipality and growth in soccer has continued at significant rates since the S&RS was developed. Further detailed quantitative assessment of the growth of soccer shows (source: Football Federation Victoria): 21% growth in registered players from 2014 - 2016 19% growth in 2016 in Miniroos girls (aged under 11) 10% growth in junior girls (aged 12 to 17) City of Boroondara 19 Services Special Committee Agenda 12/11/18 Particular infrastructure and other challenges for soccer include: Providing a sufficient number of sporting fields to meet demand Demand for soccer extending beyond the traditional winter season, putting pressure on the traditional summer sports Compliance with particular Football Federation Victoria (FFV) standards Accommodating requested weekday usage by schools Demand for non-club based and unstructured sport.

  • Why Has Soccer Not Become the Code of Football in Australia

Copyright : 2006, Taylor & Francis ..‘Our wicked foreign game’: Why has Association Football (soccer) not become the main code of football in Australia?∗ Roy Hay Sports and Editorial Services Australia Introduction Soccer, ‘our wicked foreign game’, is not the main code of football in any state in Australia, but it is probably the second in most states if measured by spectator attendance or participation.1 In Victoria, Australian rules is number one, while in New South Wales, rugby league is the dominant code. The phenomenon is not unique to Australia. None of the white dominions of the old British Empire nor the former British colony the United States has soccer as its main code, with the exception of South Africa where the non-white population has taken up Association Football.2 In most of these countries soccer is characterised as a migrants’ game, even though many of the migrants playing or watching the game are of second or later generations. Explanations for the secondary position of soccer in Australia ought therefore to be compared with those for these other countries, and if we seek a comprehensive explanation of this phenomenon then the Australian story ought not to vary too much from those applied to the others, unless it can be clearly shown that Australian experience and conditions were indeed different.3 This article concentrates on the domestic experience in Australia, with a view to introducing and outlining some of the issues which might be drawn into an effective international comparison.

  • NEW BOOK RELEASE Lacrosse in Australia: Lambton L
    NEW BOOK RELEASE Lacrosse in Australia: Lambton L. Mount and the Foundation Years By Doug Fox - OAM This book tells the story of an ambitious and adventurous young man who changed the sporting landscape in Australia by introducing the sport of lacrosse into Melbourne in 1876. Lambton Mount is heralded as the undisputed initiator and ‘father’ of lacrosse in Australia but his broader achievements as an athlete, explorer, pastoralist, inventor, industrialist and outstanding Australian colonial pioneer have remained largely unsung. Now his fascinating and compelling story is told. Mount’s motivation to introduce lacrosse is examined along with the details of how he inspired fellow-pioneers to join him during the foundation years of the sport. The birth and early development of Australia’s great lacrosse clubs are documented against the backdrop of the expansion of the sport across colonial borders, the coming of Australian Federation, the beginnings of women’s lacrosse and the interruption by war. The commencement and development of Interstate and international lacrosse in Australia form a key component of the narrative which is documented and supported with over 190 illustrations and photographs, many never previously published. Central to this story are the accounts of the key athletes and administrators who built lacrosse in Australia. This is a ‘must have’ book for everyone who has come under the enduring spell of this unique sport. STRICTLY LIMITED PRINT RUN ORDER NOW TO BE SURE OF SECURING A COPY This 280-page book with 190 photographs and illustrations is available for pre- order for $68 (postage and handling included) online via the Lacrosse Australia Foundation website www.lacrosseaustraliafoundation.com.au/ OR by completing and lodging the order slip below.

  • Lacrosse Is One of the Oldest Team Sports. the Sport Was Originally Played by the Native Tribes in North America
    LACROSSE Lacrosse is one of the oldest team sports. The sport was originally played by the Native Tribes in North America. It was originally known as “Baggataway” which translates to “Younger Brother of War” and was used by the tribes as an alternative to war. The games took place over several days and were played over huge open areas between villages. The goals, which might have been trees or other natural features, were anything from 500 meters to several kilometers apart. A large number of players were involved with estimates of between 100 and 100,000 participating in a game at any one time! The game was observed by French missionaries working in the area. As a result, interest in the game began to develop in Canada. They believed that the sticks used resembled a bishop's crozier (in French “la crosse d' évêque”) and hence called the game Lacrosse. The game developed into the game as we know it today, which is played on a field of similar size to a hockey/soccer pitch, by two teams with ten players on the field at one time. The first club, Montreal Lacrosse Club was founded in 1856. Since then Lacrosse has spread all across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and even parts of Africa. Lacrosse first came to Australia 1876. It is a largely armature sport in Australia with competitions in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland. MENS LACROSSE IN VICTORIA The pioneer of lacrosse in Australia was a Canadian, Lambton L. Mount. He came to the Victorian goldfields as a fourteen year old with his family in 1853 but it was not until 1875 that he was moved to revive his early boyhood memories of lacrosse.

Michelle Gorzanelli Acknowledgements Completion of this doctoral thesis was possible with the support of several people. Most significantly, this feat was possible because of the unconditional support provided by David Baxter, who always made himself available to clarify my thought process and offer guidance that extended this PhD into my professional development and career progression. My manager Associate Professor Kathie Ardzejewska was also very supportive in terms of my personal welfare, and development as an academic. Ben Kooyman was kind enough to undertake the editing work and I acknowledge his meticulous work and attention to detail. I am very much grateful to Mum, Dad, my sister Bec, and my husband Sean for encouraging and believing in me every step of the way. Without their support I would not have been able to manage study along with my everyday life. Sean was understanding and patient during the tough times and stayed by my side.

    THE 1959 AUSTRALIAN MEN’S LACROSSE TEAM vs WASHINGTON & LEE UNIVERSITY/ UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA By Horrie Webber Published posthumously with editing and additions by John Nolan Melbourne 2015 The season of 1959 is one that will be long remembered by those who took part in it, to be viewed almost with awe by those who have come after. Australia earned for itself the right to be considered a major lacrosse nation, whether it eventually fulfilled the high promise of 1959 remains to be seen, but the visit of teams from the United States of America to Australia was an event of national importance. The 1959 tour of an American team toAustralia was conceived by Gene Corrigan, lacrosse coach at the University of Virginia, in early 1957. Gene Corrigan was head lacrosse coach at Washington & Lee University from 1956-58 and at University of Virginia from 1959-67.Gene Corrigan had taken the Washington & Lee team to England several years before and had alsoreceived reports of Australian lacrosse from members of the U.S.A. Olympic field hockey team that participated in the Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956, and contacted the controlling bodies of lacrosse in Australia. From that time he worked unceasingly towards the fulfilment of his idea. Unfortunately prior to the Australian tour Gene’s wife Lena was expecting another child and was having some health issues so it was not possible for Gene to participate in that tour. As Gene explained in 2018 “Mybrother George had been an All- American player at the University of Maryland and had kept involved with the game as a graduate.
