community GRants

as the new year is upon us we see many changes for the city of nedlands in regards to restructure and reorganisation. this has taken place as the city of nedlands is committed to providing the community with high quality and effi cient services.

as of october 2011, we saw a new council unite and have been working together now for the past fi ve months with a positive outlook for the future.

The City would like to commend Graham foster on all of his solid efforts for the past 5 years as Chief executive offi cer. Michael Cole will now be the acting Ceo. Recently, two directors have also considered other opportunities and the City wishes them well in their futuristic plans. We look to appoint the available roles in the City as we head into the second quarter of the year.

Moving on from the general “our Vision 2030”, it is the intention to now conduct more detailed precinct consultations to plan for the future.

We look forward to working with you, our community, and to a busy 2012.

Issue 2 – 2012

Council has requested the trial of a pesticide free park within the City of Nedlands.

Masons Gardens in dalkeith has been identifi ed as a suitable location for this 24 month trial and this began in december 2011.

as part of the trial, there will be no pesticides used in Masons Gardens over this period.

This will include, but is not limited to, the application of herbicide and insecticide treatments.

information will be collected during the period of the trial and compiled for Council to consider in reviewing the policy. information to be collected will include cost implications, park usage and community feedback.

The City welcomes community feedback on the condition of the reserve over this period. should you have any comments, please forward these to the City at the following email or mailing address: council@nedlands.wa.gov.au - City of Nedlands, Po Box 9, Nedlands Wa 6909.

dc cRuickshank MasTeRPlaNThe City of Nedlands has begun engaging the community in the master planning process for the re-development of the david Cruickshank Reserve in dalkeith.

Two workshops have already been held at dalkeith Nedlands Bowling Club. These workshops were attended by local residents, community groups and sporting groups in which they went through an ‘enquiry by design’ process in order to come up with some ideas for the future of the reserve.

Throughout the next fi ve months the City will be engaging and consulting the community further to ensure that their needs, ideas and concerns are refl ected in the plans. By the end of the process the City looks to have an agreed concept plan from which detailed construction drawings can be created for the reserve.

if you would like to be involved or for further information, please contact the City on 9273 3500 or email council@nedlands.wa.gov.au

The City’s rehabilitation of Masons Gardens ponds in 2011 earned a finalist award in the department of environment and Conservation’s Wa environment awards – Rivers, estuaries and Wetlands award. The turtles were suffering a bacterial skin infection. This was attributed to a number of factors, including a lack of suffi cient UV light

(as the turtles were not basking in the sun), poor water quality, and weakening of the skin from biting each other when competing for food.

Remedies included drying the ponds to kill feral Gambusia fi sh, removing noxious weeds, installing basking sites, introducing native fi sh and invertebrates as a natural food source, and treatment

of the turtles offsite for the skin infections.

if you are interested in assisting with the ongoing management of the ponds, enquire about joining the friends of Masons Gardens group by contacting the City’s sustainability offi cer on 9273 3500 or phuigens@nedlands. wa.gov.au

from the 28th april, residents of the City of Nedlands can purchase up to 80 plants per household for $1.50 each from apace Nursery in North

fremantle. The City subsidises up to 80 plants per household throughout May to encourage native plants in our gardens. Just take your proof of address

to apace from 28th april to 26th May to take advantage of this fantastic program. Call apace Nursery (9336 1262) for opening hours and species availability.

By removing the lawn and installing native plants and mulch, the City will signifi cantly reduce water use in this area. other benefi ts include reducing the need for chemicals, increasing biodiversity, and encouraging birdsand butterfl ies.

This Waterwise garden hopes to also provide an educational opportunity, whereby visitors can learn about Waterwise gardening and native plants.

CiTy of NedlaNds RiveRBank GRants scheme 2010 –11The City of Nedlands, the friends of Point Resolution, and the swan River Trust have restored a further 70m length of embankment and foreshore at Point Resolution Reserve and 250m2 at Waratah Place Riverend with a fringing native vegetation buffer. The City of Nedlands received $65,580 for Point Resolution and $20,000 for Waratah Place Riverend through the swan River Trust’s Riverbank Grants

scheme 2010/11 to undertake the work. additional activities undertaken included the removal of invasive weeds, stabilisation of the foreshore and embankment and increasing the vegetation buffer by planting locally occurring native seedlings. The restoration work recently completed will help protect river-front from waves, natural erosion processes and provide habitat for fauna.

The foreshore and embankment recently stabilised at Point Resolution was the third stage of a three year project in collaboration with the swan River Trust, the friends of Point Resolution and the City of Nedlands that has seen a total of 210m of foreshore and embankment stabilised and $283,867 in funding received from the swan River Trust.
