MINUTES - ORDINARY MEETING 4 9 NOVEMBER 2020

OF COUNCIL

3 ADVICE OF RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS PUBLIC QUESTIONS

TAKEN ON NOTICE

Nil

4 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

1 Michael Facey - 229 Jull St, Armadale (Spokesperson for Reconnect Jull St)

Q1 In August 2019 Reconnect Jull St submitted a formal proposal to activate the Armadale Town

Centre to address the lack of activity, antisocial behaviour and crime in the heart of our CBD.

We have still not received a response to this proposal however we were advised by the City of

Armadale in a letter dated 1 May 2020 that the City has engaged an experienced town

planning and urban design consultancy firm for an in depth assessment. Can you please advise

when the assessment of reconnect Jull St proposal by the consultancy firm will be released to

ratepayers?

The CEO advised that at this stage Council will be receiving the outcomes of a workshop on City

Views on 21 December 2020. Pending any further information or studies that are required as a result

of that, or any instructions to the contrary, it is the intention to bring the pre-feasibility and proposal

before Council at the earliest opportunity in the New Year.

2 Graham Hill , Owner Dome Café, Shop T80, 206 Jull St , Armadale

Q1 The City of Armadale recently announced the City Views concept plan which includes a

thriving piazza or dining precinct in Jull St Mall. Reconnect Jull St is supportive of actions that

contribute to a revitalized Armadale CBD and maintain that before work begins on the City

Views Concept, investment must be made in Jull St Mall to make it a vibrant and attractive

entrance to the CBD from the train station. Reconnect Jull St believes that our proposal for

redesign of the mall will complement the City Views Concept plan and the two projects should

be considered in parallel to achieve the best outcome for the CBD. Can the City advise whether

it is willing to consider options to reopen and revitalise Jull St Mall ahead of a decision on the

City Views Concept Plan?

The Mayor advised that she cannot speak on behalf of the rest of the Councillors. However, as no

report has been presented, it remains open for any Councillor to raise a notice of motion and have it

dealt with earlier than expected. However, it has been the expectation that the two proposals would

be considered together.

The CEO added that the City Views Concept as described does involve a ramp heading into Jull

Street and activating the Jull St Mall and providing that connection to the train station. That concept

is being tested as part of the prefeasibility. Hence, at this stage if Council were to make a decision on

the Reconnect Jull St proposal it would preclude that element of the City Views. It is certainly my

understanding following Council’s endorsement in undertaking the City Views prefeasibility that this

piece of work would need to be completed before the matters are considered.

3 Satwinder Singh, 28 Barossa Loop, Harrisdale

Q1 We live across the park in Barossa Loop. This is really a small park which is less than a hectare

but a skatepark was built in there right in the middle of residential homes and is used 24/7

impacting the peace, privacy and safety of residents. Can Council advise as to why a skatepark

was put close to homes on Barossa Loop instead of a childrens’ playground?

The Mayor advised that the question would be taken on notice.

Question time closed at 7:08pm

6 PETITIONS

1 Change of Skatepark to Childrens' Playground - Barossa Loop, Harrisdale (Cr Jeff

Munn)

Cr Munn tabled a petition signed by 165 residents, the prayer of which reads:

“We the undersigned respectfully request that the Council please change the skatepark to

childrens’ playground due to the skate park’s proximity to homes and attracting antisocial

criminal behaviour.”

MOVED Cr J H Munn

That Council receive the petition and refer it to the Technical Services Committee.

MOTION not opposed, DECLARED CARRIED (13/0)

2 Jull Street Mall (Cr Colin Campbell)

Cr Campbell tabled a non-conforming petition submitted by 1013 persons, the prayer of

which reads:

“We call on the City of Armadale to address community safety concerns and create a vibrant

space for the people of Armadale by investing in the Jull Street Mall.

We urge the Council to redesign the mall by introducing landscaping and slow-moving one-

way traffic. This reduces the amount of space for vandalism, drug abuse, crime and violence,

while also encouraging natural surveillance and more eyes on the street by introducing

traffic at a reduced speed.

We want the Jull Street Mall to be vibrant, welcoming and family friendly venue for the

Armadale community. However without Council investment, it will deteriorate further,

experience less customer traffic, more anti-social behaviour and force remaining businesses

to close.

Without shops, it is no longer a shopping mall.”

MOVED Cr C A Campbell

That Council receive the petition and refer it to the Development Services Committee.

MOTION not opposed, DECLARED CARRIED (13/0)
