Consultation Ascertaining the views and opinions of the community, particularly those from traditionally underrepresented residents and community groups is essential in the success of the Jacana Valley Master Plan. Our aim is to ensure that the consultation outcomes and findings meet the needs of the current and future users of this site. As such, we proposed targeted consultation of local government and authorities, key stakeholders and the local community to gather information to inform this Visioning Framework and eventually the Master Plan. For the Jacana Valley Master Plan, Council employed the consultation technique of Appreciative Inquiry. This is a valuesbased approach to consultation. It focuses on engaging those with a vested interest in a place, along with raising awareness to other members of the community to develop an interest in that place. By firmly anchoring the consultation dialogue in the values of a place, the results will always be focussed toward community’s stories, histories, affinities and identification with that place. In turn, those connections will promote value-based aspirations for a site that can be more tangibly linked to spaces, programmes, infrastructure, amenities and a range of investment opportunities. The community engagement offered a range of options as follows: • Online Survey • Survey Mail out • Government Agencies and Key Stakeholder Workshop • Broader Community Group and End Users Workshop • Community BBQ • Tenant sports club meeting 11
Consultation The findings and outcomes from the data drawn from the consultation process focuses on identifying the key values that the stakeholders and community members already held and projected for Jacana Valley. The following table outlines the key findings. Consultation Activity 01 Stakeholder Workshop 1 Government agencies and key stakeholders workshop#1 Description + Participants The purpose of this workshop was to engage with the Council and key stakeholder agencies to provide an overview of the Master Plan Project. • To gather their input into the Master Plan in terms of what they value • What key principles they would like to see incorporated? • To launch the Appreciative Inquiry approach • To uncover key champions who are willing to help the Inquiry process Attendees included: • Vic Roads • Moreland City Council • Melbourne Water • Moonee Ponds Creek Co-ordination Committee • Victoria Police Facilitated by : • Hume City Council • AECOM Findings + Outcomes Key values were drawn out by asking attendees to project what Jacana Valley could be in the future, what they valued about the space currently and also discussing what they valued about other open spaces that they have enjoyed. Key values drawn from this discussion were: • Accessibility and connectivity - through stakeholders identifying the need for improved DDA access, footbridges, boardwalks, connections over the creek and a trail that supplies both sides of the creek, a space that provides good public amenity through toilets, shade, water fountains, cafes, strengthening bike and pedestrian connections. It was noted that if the E-14 is ever constructed this will impact greatly on access from the Gladstone Park interface, west of the site. • Activation - through the stakeholder group identifying the need to maintain and consolidate the sporting precinct, shared community facilities . • Productive environment - through the stakeholder group identifying the desire for community gardens. • Security - through the group identifying the need for passive surveillance through activation and the potential for the existing ‘back fences’ that currently interface the reserve to become ‘inward facing’. • Conservation - through the group identifying the need for the Moonee Ponds Creek wetland to maintain flood capacity, increasing revegetation. • Responsiveness - through identifying the critical importance of Council implementing the plan and the need for ongoing maintenance for the project. • Respect for others - through the group identifying the need for interpretation and inspiring the community to develop a connection to this space. • Simplicity - through the group identifying the need for signage, way finding and a legible landscape. • Regional scale - the group recognising that the Jacana Valley needs to be recognised on a regional scale/regional asset. 12
