Carrington Park - Enviro-scape Master Plan

Consultation has concluded

The City is now progressing with the implementation of the enviro-scape master plan as a result of the community engagement activities undertaken.

The strategic vision developed takes into account the park’s future use and development, alignment to current service levels and budgets. Issues addressed included the natural and built environment, water quality and conservation, climate change, along with accessibility, amenity, community use and ensuring the park is fit for purpose.

In developing the plan, the City identified and researched a range of topics, possible constraints, opportunities and issues relevant to Carrington Park.

The enviro-scape master plan aims to ensure community needs are met in the most economical way possible for the Park’s lifespan.

Share Option 3: I have a small dog and we walk from one side of the park to the other off the leash. There is never a problem with this, however, if she can exit to Weld St without a barrier, she would do so. Anyone who has a dog knows that having a dog on a leash in a park with other dogs off the leash is a recipe for disaster. Also having open access would allow a dog to run straight into the park and potentially attack another dog or a small child.

Option 3 has no barrier preventing a dog off the leash running out of the park, therefore the answer is yes.
Share Options 2 and 3 are essentially the same - just one with an open dog entrance the other not. Will the total votes for these two categories be added together against Option 1 or are the options being diluted to ensure that those favouring Option 1 can get it across the line without too much opposition? It would make sense to have Options 2+3 added together against Option 1, and then if they win the vote, then which ever option out of 2 and 3 with the most votes be given the first place spot.

Option 3 has no barrier preventing a dog off the leash running out of the park, therefore the answer is yes.

The difference between option 2 and 3 is that option 3 has an open end to Weld Street and option 2 does not.
The City will report the support for the two options separately, that is, the support for the two options will not be added together as there is a significant operational difference between them.

Thank you for your question. The City received a number of submissions regarding lack of control of some dogs by owners. The open end in option 3 would ensure that those owners who did not control or trust their dog would keep them on a leash.
Share Re the 3 options presented in the current community engagement: 1) Will the basket ball court be separately fenced off from the playground? Currently playground users are mostly toddlers. Current basket ball court users are mostly teenage boys and men. Two incompatible groups when basketballs start flying around. 2) Options 2 and 3 seek to incorporate almost all the shady areas (near to the Broome St end of the park) into the playground area meaning the dog park will have limited natural shade. Many dog owners spend 30-60 minutes at the park each day so having shaded areas is vital. 3) All Fencing and Gate options must ensure the dog area is fully enclosed. Quite a few visitors to the dog park are elderly. If they are not confident their dog is contained in the park it will decrease their willingness to bring their dog to the park. The park serves as dog socialisation but also a vital social outlet for older residents, especially men who congregate in the morning and afternoon to chat. on Facebook Share Re the 3 options presented in the current community engagement: 1) Will the basket ball court be separately fenced off from the playground?

Thank you for your question and comments. The basketball court will be fenced on two sides, the road side behind the basketball tower and the playground side to ensure the basketball does not impact on the road or the playground.
Share Thanks for the opportunity to vote on the 3 suggested options. I am concerned that Option 3 proposes a permanently open gate at Weld Street! How will dogs be contained in the park?? Surely this is a serious safety hazard if dogs are able to escape at their will... I don't understand the benefit of this and can't find any explanation anywhere. on Facebook Share Thanks for the opportunity to vote on the 3 suggested options.

Share Having looked at the new options, I would like to know why the sandpit has been kept in the plans (even if it is smaller), as no-one is in favour of it. It will be a health hazard for both children and dogs (eg. syringes, cans, bottles, condoms, cats and dogs urinating in it). These items have all previously been found at the park and have been disposed of by the dog owners.

Thank you for your question.
The sandpit is recognised as a popular facility for dogs. Its location has been designed to coincide with the area where the dog owners throw the ball as they enter the park, that is where the park is continually excavated by the dogs.
It will be managed in the same way as all other sand softfall throughout the City, that is, raked regularly and sand replenished as necessary.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately the Water Corporation does not provide recycled water freely to local government. The City is only aware of one trial in the western suburbs at McGillvray Oval which commenced in 2004. There have been no further trials or projects that the City is aware of in the western suburbs since this time.
Share If the Council acknowledged previously that Carrington Park was popular with dog owners why did it not determine the factors contributing to its popularity (perhaps through a survey of local dog owners who use the park) and replicate these elsewhere in Nedlands to reduce the pressure on the park. For example, if seating and shade is a draw card perhaps more seating and the planting of shady trees could have been added to Asquith Park in Mt Claremont, which is also a fenced park but has no play equipment. Can Council please advise if it has ever surveyed local dog owners who use Carrington on what they want in a dog park, and how they get to the park (walk or drive)? Can Council also advise whether it has, or ever had, any plans to provide such amenities in Asquith Park to reduce the impact on Carrington? This would seem a potential solution as opposed to fencing part of the foreshore which it is understood was an option several years ago but knocked back by Council. on Facebook Share If the Council acknowledged previously that Carrington Park was popular with dog owners why did it not determine the factors contributing to its popularity (perhaps through a survey of local dog owners who use the park) and replicate these elsewhere in Nedlands to reduce the pressure on the park.
