WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022 19 Site Description
The rectangular shaped site is bounded by Bondi Road to the north and is the main Park frontage, Park Parade to the east and Birrell Street to the south. To the west the more protected areas are bounded by the cul-de-sac of Paul Street, a water reservoir facility and accesses to the Park off James Street, Goldie Avenue and St. Marys Avenue.
The size of Waverley Park at 10.21 hectares makes it the second biggest Park in Waverley, after Bondi Park.
The Park has a number of entries which are shown in orange on the aerial map. There is no clear hierarchy of the entry points in terms of design but the entries off Bondi Road and Birrell Street receive the most pedestrian traffic.

26 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022 Key Values for Waverley Park and Pavilion
Waverley Park is highly valued by the community. It provides people with physical and spiritual respite, links with the past and our cultural heritage and provides a haven for biodiversity. Six key values were identified through the consultation process and in combination with the state, regional and local values. These values provide the strategic direction for the management of the Park and Pavilion. The following section outlines the significance of the key values identified by the community as well as the issues and potential opportunities that exist in the Park and the Pavilion. The issues and opportunities form the Action Plan for the sustainable management of the Park and Pavilion, over the next ten years. The six values are as follows:
Enhancing the Environment An environmental value concerned with the enhancement and protection of ecology and habitat
Celebrating the Past A heritage value identifying significant layers of the past that need to be celebrated and protected
Playing and Relaxing A recreation value identifying the many active and passive activities
Participating and Engaging A cultural value that reflects all of the social and educational pursuits that occur
Looking and Feeling Good An amenity value that captures the desired look and feel of the Park and Pavilion
LION PUBLIC ART - CEILING DESIGN CONCEPT Fair Access to Facilities A management value that ensures access for all of the community to the facilities of the Park and Pavilion

The flora and fauna of Waverley Park is highly valued by the community for many reasons including providing shade and shelter, habitat for wildlife, soil restoration, natural beauty and a sense of place. The Park is categorised as a landscape conservation area in the Waverley LEP 2011.
In the Waverley Park Visitor Study (2008) visitors perceived trees and natural areas to be the most “important” areas of Waverley Park. Trees were also perceived as the best “performing” aspect of the Park.

In 2008, a Cafe Feasibility Study (WSB Solutions Pty Ltd) was undertaken on the likely viability of a café within Waverley Park, the preferred location for the outlet and the type and scale of development envisaged. The Study found a small café as part of the re-developed Waverley Pavilion and Park would be feasible.
The Park Visitor Study (2008) also investigated the importance of a cafe/kiosk facility in the Park. 33% of people rated the provision of a cafe/ kiosk to be very important.
A café has been designed into the west side of the new Pavilion with proximity to the Playground and Barbecue area. The café will focus on providing healthy food and a place for people to come together.
New Amenity Building
An existing toilet located near the bocce courts has been vandalised and graffitied several times.
A new amenities building has been designed to the concept stage and has DA approval. The design includes a multipurpose room for use by sports groups and for low impact activities.
This building will provide a second social hub in the Park and a place for the community to engage and participate.

“Waverley Park is a place for all of the community to meet, play and relax. The environmental and heritage qualities of the Park contribute to a place that looks and feels good”
Integral to the Waverley Park and Pavilion Plan of Management is the vision that guides the future use and development of the Park.
Community consultation identified the six key values of :
• enhancing the environment • celebrating the past • playing and relaxing • participating and engaging • looking and feeling good • and fair access to facilities
These values form the important components of the Waverley Park and Pavilion vision where “Waverley Park is a place for all of the community to meet, play and relax. The environmental and heritage qualities of the Park contribute to a place that looks and feels good”.
To achieve this vision, a series of key strategic objectives were developed.

Waverley park is a great asset to the residents and visitors, the new facilities will be excellent. The concept is well deserved and it will enhance the community feeling allowing people to enjoy the surroundings around Waverley Oval. I fully support and endorse this proposal. Support for inclusion I like the indoor sports hall of indoor sports The café, sports court and community room are a good idea court, café and community room General support for Impressed with the design of the amenity block (this comment was received from amenities concept approximately 40 members of the Bocce clubs who use the park) Support for toilet Congratulations on acknowledging women need more toilets than men. design
Table 2: Issues/Concerns Raised
Issue Comments Acknowledging heritage Incorporate heritage information in/on the building. in design Some federation elements to the building design would have been good (this comment was received in 3 separate submissions). Building materials Façade of complex should be sandstone (this comment was received in 2 separate submissions) Environmental Increase use of natural light and natural ventilation in the building where possible. Sustainable Design Including: - Consideration of reorientating the WC/SHR & change room on lower level to allow cross ventilation. - Consideration of moving the power door west to allow natural ventilation for park staff toilets. - Consideration of a break in the ceiling/floor between the levels to increase natural ventilation to the lower level. Flat rooves at rear of building could be used for solar panels. Consider use of solar panels on the roof and natural ventilation of the community room and sports court. The rejection of low grade waste heat form the café operation could be used as an alternative heat source for hot water Will the water on the roof be collected for Rainwater harvesting? If viable consider use of cogeneration system in the plant room. A wind turbine could create problems associated with noise. Cafe Open the cafe up more at the back towards the playground area. At the moment the café is split off by a garden wall. Would like to see larger café. Indoor sports court Would like to see provision for small weights gym in the court. Shade Need shade for spectators Spectator seating Will seating and edging be provided on grass roof to reduce wear paths? 14 Parking There should be a creation of more on street spaces or a car park to accommodate increase volume that will come as a result of the new facilities. Parking is a major concern, on Park Parade (this comment was received in 3 separate submissions). Can consideration be given to providing parking on both sides of Park Parade? Maybe angle parking in Park Parade, remove part of park to widen Road. Restrictions on parking (hourly etc) would be problematic for residents and their visitors. Can the Council car park be increased Pedestrian Safety Park parade is dangerous now, increased cars will reduce safety further Access to facilities Ensure access to community room for general public. Will the have the building have facilities for hire for functions? How will vertical access be addressed? Has consideration been given to a lift Construction impacts Construction noise will be problem for residents. Safety in the park Consideration of how to stop groups of youths hanging out at the back of the pavilion should be given. The café with long operating hours could work to reduce this. Graffiti and vandalism How will graffiti be prevented prevention Need to prevent vandalism in the area. Concerned that the amenities block presents its back to the street/neighbouring area, its an invitation to abuse, good building present their public faces to the public domain

78 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022 Enough rain/shade cover for the cafe Maintenance equipment The roller used for ground reparation will need adequate space in storage area and also access to the oval. Have impacts on the paved area in front of the Pavilion been considered? Construction During construction relocation of the temporary amenities and mechanism for the electronic score board will be required. Waverley Rugby Football & Sporting Club Toilets and change facilities Due to the inclusion of the indoor court there will be increased demands placed on the change rooms and toilets.
As two sets of facilities (for home and away teams) are used full time during games a set that services the indoor court is required to reduce potential conflicting use. A separate change room should be provided for women’s teams (could possibly be shared with the indoor court change rooms). Storage space, community Support the provision of separate storage space for clubs, and will utilise the room and indoor court indoor court for training in wet weather and the community room for club functions. The storage for the indoor court is on a different level and may create OHS issues related to carrying of equipment. Spectator seating Both seating types, undercover and grassed are important for encouraging a range of spectators. Kiosk The kiosk should be visible from the oval. Security Security of lower level needs to be carefully considered. Vehicle access Adequate ambulance access to the oval and access for deliveries to the kiosk is required. Score board The score board needs to be visible from the undercover seating area.
