DELEGATION: Council PRC Agenda 9/6/2016 Item No. 5 Page 7 TO : Parks and Recreation Committee FROM : Acting Director Parks and City Amenity Acting Manager Parks and Recreation DATE : 30 May, 2016 SUBJECT : 110 GIBLIN STREET, LENAH VALLEY – NEW SUBDIVISION - NAMING OF NEW PARK FILE : 7480414 & p/110/521 SMA:A (document2) 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The purpose of this report is to recommend a name for the park associated with new subdivision at 110 Giblin Street, Lenah Valley, the former K&D Brickworks site. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1. As part of the new subdivision located at 110 Giblin Street, Lenah Valley, there has been an allocation for public open space. 2.2. The park, which is located at the base of the former quarry will include a nature based play area, pathways, landscaping, an amphitheatre and a large grassed open space. The park is being developed by the proponent at no capital cost to the City, with the design and configuration approved by City Officers. 2.3. The ownership and ongoing maintenance of the proposed new park will be transferred to the City’s open space network upon the sealing of the final plan for Stage 4 of the subdivision, anticipated to occur in approximately four months. Maintenance and care of the park will be undertaken by the developer for the first 12 months after ownership is transferred to the City. 2.4. The property developer, On Giblin Pty Ltd has written to the City through JMG Consulting Engineers suggesting the park be named ‘Garrington Park’ (refer Attachment A). 2.5. Garrington was the middle name of Andrew Garrington Kemp who was a founder of the Kemp and Denning company that operated from the site for over 80 years. 2.6. The Council policy ‘Naming of Public Facilities, Parks or Reserves’ (refer Attachment B) is generally applied to requests for the public to rename existing facilities rather than applications for the naming of new facilities under construction that is yet to be transferred to the City of Hobart. PRC Agenda 9/6/2016 Item No. 5 Page 8 2.6.1. In accordance with Council policy ‘Naming of Public Facilities, Parks or Reserves’, the Nomenclature Board has been consulted on the proposed name and have indicated at Officer level no objection. 2.6.2. Pursuant to the Section 20D(e) of the Survey Co-ordination Act 1944, a function of the Nomenclature Board is ‘to assign a name to any place in this State’. Accordingly, the recommended name for the new park will be referred to the Board for ratification on Council approval. 2.7. It is considered that the proposal meets the criteria in the policy given Mr Kemp’s contribution to the business community of Hobart and his company’s longstanding ownership over the property. 2.8. The City Infrastructure Committee, at its special meeting held on 9 May 2016, considered the naming of streets within the subdivision and approved the following family names associated with the former Kemp and Denning brickworks: 2.8.1. William Cooper Drive; 2.8.2. Denning Close; 2.8.3. Tabart Street; 2.8.4. Noble Drive; and 2.8.5. Dowding Crescent. 3. PROPOSAL 3.1. It is proposed that the new park associated with the subdivision of 110 Giblin Street, Lenah Valley be named ‘Garrington Park’, after Andrew Garrington Kemp, a co-founder of the K&D company. 3.2. The recommended park name be submitted to the Nomenclature Board for ratification, in accordance with the Survey Co-ordination Act 1944. 4. IMPLEMENTATION 4.1. The Council recommended name for the new park is to be submitted to the Nomenclature Board for ratification. 4.2. The developers of the subdivision are to be advised of the Council’s decision.
