5 DISCUSSION The City has a network of 44 Community Centres, from Ormeau in the north to Kirra in the south. Of the 44 centres, 23 are managed directly by the City and 21 are managed by not-for-profit community groups through a lease or licence arrangement. A full list of the City’s Community Centres is attached for reference (Attachment 1). The Community Centres ultimately provide affordable and accessible spaces for residents and community groups to connect with each other, participate in regular organised activities, attend events, and deliver/access services. Community Centres also serve as a central hub for local communities, for example, a place for new residents to seek information about available City and other local services, and a safe space for residents to gather in times of disaster. The Community Centres exist in a hierarchy, from local to regional, in accordance with the State’s Social Infrastructure Guidelines. This hierarchy is based on the population of the catchments served by each centre and determines the size, design and nature of the offerings they each provide. This framework ensures that the specific programs delivered at each centre are responsive to local community needs. The City’s Community Centres have experienced sustained growth over the last five years, recording a 57 per cent increase in visitations across the city, which has resulted in increased revenue and community outcomes. It is worth noting that visitations to Community Centres managed directly by the City have increased by 101 per cent over the last five years and accounted for 75 per cent of the total visitations recording during this period. An infographic has been compiled to show the utilisation trend over the last five years (Attachment 2).

743rd Council Meeting 15 September 2017 7 Community Services Committee Meeting 7 September 2017 Adopted Report ITEM 2 (Continued) UTILISATION OF THE CITY’S COMMUNITY CENTRES IN 2016-17 CM787/788/03/09 The 2016-17 financial year saw a continuation of the upward trend in the popularity of the City’s Community Centres with record visitation numbers of 1.6 million and revenue reaching $1,751,685. Each week there are more than 1,000 bookings and more than 450 hours of use each day. Both operating expenses and revenue were $299,000 and $595,000 higher than the approved 2016-17 budget, respectively, resulting in a positive net result of $296,000. Although the focus for the City’s Community Centres is to achieve community outcomes as opposed to commercial outcomes, the current financial model enables the City to recover approximately 30 per cent of the cost of delivering this valuable service. The following graphs depict the growth in Community Centre visitations, reservations and hours of use over the last six financial years:

743rd Council Meeting 15 September 2017 8 Community Services Committee Meeting 7 September 2017 Adopted Report ITEM 2 (Continued) UTILISATION OF THE CITY’S COMMUNITY CENTRES IN 2016-17 CM787/788/03/09

Note: There was a small additional increase in visitations at City managed centres during the 2015-16 year, due to some centres being used as pre-polling sites for two elections. The utilisation data reaffirms the Council’s former decision to manage a number of the Community Centres directly and highlights that there are more opportunities to maximise and support the governance, accessibility, sustainability and activation of a number of leased centres going forward. Community Centre Usage As noted earlier, the range of services delivered through the City’s Community Centres is diverse and responsive to local community needs. The centres facilitate everything from small support groups to large performances; weddings to Hip Hop dance classes; indoor bowls to band recording sessions; watching the Wiggles do a show to listening to a string quartet perform. They also provide affordable office space for not-for-profit community organisations at some locations.

743rd Council Meeting 15 September 2017 9 Community Services Committee Meeting 7 September 2017 Adopted Report ITEM 2 (Continued) UTILISATION OF THE CITY’S COMMUNITY CENTRES IN 2016-17 CM787/788/03/09

The City’s Community Centres realised many community outcomes in 2016-17, including the following: The Queensland Sentencing Advisory Council used the Southport Community Centre

for an event during which local residents engaged in the mock sentencing of cases, a process designed to demystify the sentencing process and raise public awareness and understanding of the issue.

The Labrador Community Hub served as the base for the world’s first Circus Skills classes targeting children with autism. The subsequent success of this program is resulting in its replication across the globe.

At Robina Auditorium the Donate Life Service of Remembrance was held; an annual event to remember the organ and tissue donors from the previous year.

The Kirra Hill Community and Cultural Centre was chosen for the filming of “Flammable Children” – a major film production starring Kylie Minogue and Guy Pierce.

The Ormeau, Helensvale, Nerang and Robina Community Centres were all activated as evacuation centres during ex-tropical cyclone Debbie, with the Ormeau Centre remaining open for several days to provide temporary accommodation.

Lastly, in 2016-17 two new spaces joined the network – Pimpama Men’s Shed and Women’s Space @ Labrador. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND

OPERATIONAL PLAN 3.0 People contribute to a strong community spirit 3.2 We are proud of our city We are a vibrant community committed to success. 3.3 Our community is inclusive and supportive. We are a diverse community where everyone is welcome, families thrive and people know their neighbours.

743rd Council Meeting 15 September 2017 10 Community Services Committee Meeting 7 September 2017 Adopted Report ITEM 2 (Continued) UTILISATION OF THE CITY’S COMMUNITY CENTRES IN 2016-17 CM787/788/03/09 7 GOLD COAST 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES IMPACT Some Community Centres will be used for community readiness and celebration activities in the lead up to the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, and some will provide a space for precinct operations. 8 FUNDING AND RESOURCING REQUIREMENTS Budget/Funding Considerations The increase in utilisation of the City’s Community Centre network (particularly those managed directly by the City) has had positive flow on impacts on revenue generation and some associated increases in operating expenses. The end of 2016-17 financial year position for Responsibility Centre CS4760 was a net positive result of $295,000 above the annual budget forecast. A review of utilisation data and the performance of the City’s Community Centres is conducted annually and is available in August, following the end of financial year budget process. This means the utilisation data provided during the Special Budget Committee deliberations is for the preceding financial year. People and Culture Not Applicable. 9 RISK MANAGEMENT

743rd Council Meeting 15 September 2017 11 Community Services Committee Meeting 7 September 2017 Adopted Report ITEM 2 (Continued) UTILISATION OF THE CITY’S COMMUNITY CENTRES IN 2016-17 CM787/788/03/09 14 STAKEHOLDER IMPACTS The trend towards increased participation in activities, programs and services at the City’s Community Centres demonstrates a high level of satisfaction by the community with their operation and a tangible indication of how the Community values the City’s efforts to address social isolation, build community resilience and improve the general health and wellbeing of the population. 15 TIMING Not Applicable. 16 CONCLUSION The City’s Community Centre network continues to play an important and expanding role within local areas across our city. The strong growth in usage (57 per cent in five years), especially within the City managed centres (101 per cent in five years), saw 1.6 million visitations during the 2016-17 financial year and record revenue of $1,751,685. Delivering a wide variety of activities, services and events locally, ensures that the City’s Community Centres cater to residents across all age groups. Community Centres are used for community celebrations, lifelong learning, arts and culture, health and wellbeing, community service delivery, events and expos and serve as safe spaces during times of disaster. This critical social infrastructure provides opportunities for local residents, especially those new to the city, to connect in safe and welcoming public spaces. In this way, the City’s Community Centres facilitate enhanced social cohesion – ultimately leading to stronger, more resilient communities. 17 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council resolves as follows: That the utilisation data for the City’s Community Centres for 2016-17 is noted.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Not Applicable. 3 PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to discuss the renaming of Osprey Drive Reserve at 29A Osprey Drive, Jacobs Well as ‘Langfeldt Family Park’. 4 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS Not Applicable. 5 DISCUSSION A request has been received to rename Osprey Drive Reserve as ‘Langfeldt Family Park’ (see attached map) in recognition of the Langfeldt family’s significant historical links and contributions to the Jacobs Well community. Deidrich Johan Langfeldt, his wife Anna and six children arrived from Germany in 1884 and initially settled near Pimpama Island School (now Woongoolba School) before moving to Jacobs Well. The Langfeldts were the second family of white European settlers to live at Jacobs Well. Significant works were required to cultivate the land that became their home. The land, which was low-lying, swampy country heavily covered with marsh and trees, had to be cleared manually using hand tools and drained before it could be developed for farming and building the family’s home. A successful farm was established that supplied sugar cane and various small crops of fruits and vegetables to local markets. Along with the Huth family, the pioneering Langfeldt family became the backbone of the town of Jacobs Well for many years to come and made an ongoing, significant contribution to the community. In 1918, Deidrich Langfeldt’s son Gustav (known as Adolph), was instrumental in petitioning the Queensland Government to establish the Jacobs Well State School and served as Honorary Secretary of the School’s building committee.

CONFIDENTIAL

ITEM 3 (Continued) PROPOSAL TO RENAME PARK AT 29A OSPREY DRIVE RESERVE, JACOBS WELL PN264455/16(P1) CONFIDENTIAL Before a school could be built at Jacobs Well, significant drainage works were required. Farmers, including the Langfeldt family, were engaged in the construction of three drains at the Alberton, Norwell and Pimpama Island districts. The construction of these drains required funding. T. Langfeldt was a member of the Pimpama State School and Drainage Scheme committees that raised much needed funds and oversaw the drainage works. The Jacobs Well State School officially opened in 1920. Notably, some of the family’s greatest contribution to the community came from Adolph’s son, Henry George (known as George) Langfeldt. George Langfeldt was a well-respected member of the community and held executive positions on the Queensland Professional Fishermen’s League and Pimpama State School committees. In 1969, George Langfeldt accepted the post to act as the Albert Shire Council’s Inspector to manage the conflict and control the use of Steiglitz Wharf. This was an unpaid position. From 1942 to 1945, George Langfeldt served in the Volunteer Defence Corps (VDF). Farming was considered to be a ‘Reserve’ occupation, which was recognised as an essential contribution to the war effort. Farmers were also deployed to assist in the protection of valuable assets and manned coast-watching surveillance posts. George Langfeldt transported high-ranking military officers to and from Jumpinpin Bar, and at other times was camped with his detachment at St Helena Island near the mouth of the Brisbane River to monitor ships entering the port. George Langfeldt’s work in the Queensland Professional Fishermen’s League instigated great change in relation to the management of fishing activities on the Gold Coast. Amateur fisherman travelled down from Brisbane on the weekends and would net fish, often catching up to 200 fish each at a time. The Gold Coast waters were at serious risk of having their stock of edible fish depleted. George Langfeldt was active in deputising the Queensland Government to hold an Inquiry, which was conducted by the Fish Board in 1949. The findings of the Inquiry resulted in some of the first regulations being applied to fishing on the Gold Coast. The Langfeldt family are part of the pioneering community that helped transform Jacobs Well from its harsh landscape to a beautiful village suburb of the City of Gold Coast. The proposed park to be renamed, Osprey Drive Reserve, was formerly part of the original Langfeldt Farm property and has a direct historical link to the area. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND
