Ordinary Council Meeting – Agenda 19 October 2009 12.1.2 Draft Karratha Open Space Strategy File No: TA/4/1 Attachment(s) Draft KOSS to be tabled Responsible Officer: Acting Executive Manager Development Services Author Name: Acting Executive Manager Development Services Disclosure of Interest: Nil REPORT PURPOSE To seek Council‘s consent to exhibit the draft Karratha Open Space Strategy (the strategy) for public comment. Background The Minister for Planning deferred the final approval of the Shire of Roebourne Town Planning Scheme No. 8 Amendment No. 9 that facilitated infill residential subdivision in Teesdale Place, Millars Well and Clarkson Way, Bulgarra until a public open space and drainage reserve strategy for Karratha had been completed. A draft public open space and drainage reserve strategy for Karratha was subsequently produced with the assistance of the Department of Planning and Infrastructure regional planners. The strategy is acknowledged in the Karratha 2020 Vision and Community Plan 2009 and provides a framework for the provision of public open space and to assist Council rationalise its open space system within the context of overall need, function and operation. The strategy essentially justified that Karratha has the capacity to accommodate the creation of new lots for both community and residential purposes, and has the potential to allow for the expansion of existing commercial lots in the town centre through the rationalisation of existing parks, recreation and drainage reserves. There are a growing number of requests from private land owners wishing to extend their properties into abutting reserves. The administration of such requests without clear strategic direction can reasonably be construed as being ad hoc, and has the potential to consume an inordinate amount of human resources. Issues Community Benefit It has been a long held belief that parks, recreation and drainage reserves within Karratha have been poorly maintained and do not provide any significant recreational or ecological benefit. Responses to the recently conducted community survey reiterate that the amenity of Shire‘s maintained green spaces needs to be improved. The opportunity cost of maintaining substantive areas of open space above and beyond that reasonably required needs to be considered. Page 83
