Vision“Waverley Park is a place for all of the communityto meet, play and relax. The environmental andheritage qualities of the Park contribute to a placethat looks and feels good”Participating andEngagingLooking andFeeling GoodFair Access toFacilitiesTo develop oursense of community,care for theenvironment and getto know people inthe communityTo provide andmaintain amenityelements to a highstandard so the Parklooks and feels goodTo manage thefacilities of the Parkand Pavilion to ensurefair access for all ofthe community• Increased communityuse of facilities• Improve communityhealth and wellbeingand the environmentat the same time• Improved access toPavilion facilities• Well maintainedcommunity facility thatlooks and feels good• Minimise exclusive useof facilities• Increased recreationopportunities

Master PlanA Master Plan provides a blueprintfor the future use and developmentof Waverley Park and shows howthe Park will look in ten years time.The Master Plan defines the:•type and location of land usesthat will be permitted, includingdevelopment type and density•transport links and connectivity•location, type, scale and stagingof infrastructure required to serviceWaverley Park and Pavilion,including stormwater, water andsewerage•provision of community facilities•protection of sites, features andvaluesIn September 2007 Council resolvedto prepare a Master Plan forWaverley Park following the decisionto progress the re-design of theWaverley Pavilion building.In May 2008 an integrated approachto developing the Master Plan alongside the redesign of the Pavilionbuilding and new Amenities Buildingwas endorsed by Council.Work on the Master Plancommenced in 2008 and includeda Park Visitor Study with a surveyand park count. Park users identifiedtoilets, shelter and shade asimprovements they would like to seein the Master Plan.A Have a Say Day was carried outin 2008 with most people consultedexpressing an interest in a café inthe Park.The Recreation Needs Study,endorsed by Council in July 2008,surveyed over 500 people andidentified a demand for activerecreation facilities in the WaverleyLGA and a need for upgradesto existing facilities. This was animportant source document inthe development of the MasterPlan. Council’s Community SafetyPlan 2009-2012 also providedinformation on safety issues in thePark.The Draft Waverley Park MasterPlan was publicly exhibitedbetween 29th June and 19thAugust 2009 and adopted inDecember 2009.The Master Plan provides thevisual summary of the Action Planfor the future use and developmentof Waverley Park and Pavilion.LegendExisting treesProposed trees(indicative only)Existing treesto be removedExisting PalmsExisting Norfolk Island PinesPotential Norfolk Island PinesExisting Garden BedProposed Garden BedTurfExisting Upgraded concreteCycle/Pedestrian PathwaysNew PathwaysPlaygroundUpgraded Major entry pointsUpgraded minor entry pointsCycle pathsBus stopsPedestrian CrossingSignalledPedestrian CrossingPedestrian RefugesTraffic Lights12 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

BackgroundPurpose of thisDocumentThe purpose of this Draft Plan ofManagement is to identify a commonvision and management strategy forWaverley Park and Pavilion, over thenext ten years.The Plan has been developed inconsultation with the Park andPavilion users, other stakeholdersand local residents. These valuablecontributions have informed thevision, values, strategic directionsand actions for the Plan and ensurethe significant values and resourcesof this unique Park, are carefullymanaged for current and futuregenerations.What is a Plan ofManagement?A plan of management is adocument providing a strategicframework to guide the sustainableuse, improvements, maintenanceand management of a park. The keyvalues, issues and opportunitiesidentified in consultation with thecommunity, provide the strategicdirections and key actions thatcontribute to achieving the vision forthe Park.Why is one needed forWaverley Park?A Plan of Management for WaverleyPark was prepared in 1993, toresolve the conflict betweensporting and informal recreation,and to establish a frameworkfor sympathetic and appropriatemanagement of the recreational,environmental and aesthetic valuesof the Park. The Plan identifiedstrategies for resolution of the issuesand an implementation programme.By 2006, the Pavilion had becomestructurally unsafe. An Issues andOptions report was undertaken asa scoping exercise to investigatewhether to refurbish or rebuild thePavilion. The report recommendedthe Pavilion be rebuilt and in 2007Council resolved to demolish andrebuild the Pavilion. A new plan ofmanagement and master plan werealso recommended to incorporatethe new building.In 2008, the project to rebuild thePavilion was combined with thedevelopment of a new Master Plan.It is unusual to develop a masterplan before writing the Plan ofManagement document but it wasconsidered a priority due to theclosure of the old Pavilion.Comprehensive communityconsultation was undertaken during2008/9. Residents, park users andsporting groups provided valuableinput that was incorporated into thefinal design of the new Pavilion,as well as the design for a newAmenities Building. In 2009, Councilapproved the development of thenew buildings and the new MasterPlan.This Draft Plan of Managementincludes the new Pavilion and otherimprovements highlighted in theMaster Plan, as well as identifyingand addressing new issues thathave developed in the 19 yearssince the last Plan was adopted.Where does the Plan fit?This Draft Plan of Management fitswithin a framework of key Councilpolicies and is guided by the CrownLands Act (1989).The over arching Council policy forthe Draft Plan of Management isThe Waverley Together 2 StrategicPlan (2010-2022). This Draft Planof Management must reflect thepriorities of the local community andtheir aspirations for the future thatwere identified in WT2.The actions outlined in this DraftPlan of Management inform theworks to be undertaken in theCouncil’s four year Delivery Programand the annual Operational Plan.The Annual Report monitors theprogress of these actions, whilecommunity consultation andfeedback identify areas for futureimprovement.14 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

ContextLocationThe Local Government Area(LGA) of Waverley is a dense andurbanised area located betweenthe city and the sea. Most Waverleyresidents live within two kilometresof some of the best beaches in theworld, including Bondi and BronteBeach and the Coastal Walkway.With a population of 60,700 (in2006) and an area of 9.3 km²Waverley has a population density of5586 people per km², making it oneof the most densely populated LGAsin Australia.Waverley’s unique open spacesattract enormous attention andpressure from residents and tourists.The limited open space networkcombined with the strong demandfor access to open space andfacilities and the limited potentialfor open space acquisition, placesenormous value on the existingnetwork.Waverley Park is a regional andneighbourhood urban park locatedin the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney,at the fringe of the Bondi JunctionCommercial Centre and centrallylocated within the Waverley LGA.The Park is six kilometres from thecentre of the city and two kilometresfrom the main surfing beaches ofBondi and Bronte.Waverley Park is the major activesport and recreation park inWaverley and also provides aninformal recreation space and acommuter route, as part of the widerGreen-Links walking network.The built environment surroundingWaverley Park consists of a mixtureof single storey houses, one and twostorey terraces and large high riseapartment blocks.KEYWaverley ParkOpen SpaceSports OvalsUrban AreaWater BodiesBeachesWaverley LocalGovernment Area18 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

Site DescriptionThe rectangular shaped site isbounded by Bondi Road to the northand is the main Park frontage, ParkParade to the east and Birrell Streetto the south. To the west the moreprotected areas are bounded by thecul-de-sac of Paul Street, a waterreservoir facility and accesses tothe Park off James Street, GoldieAvenue and St. Marys Avenue.The size of Waverley Park at 10.21hectares makes it the secondbiggest Park in Waverley, after BondiPark.The Park has a number of entrieswhich are shown in orange onthe aerial map. There is no clearhierarchy of the entry points in termsof design but the entries off BondiRoad and Birrell Street receive themost pedestrian traffic.20 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

Landscape Descriptionand CharacterWaverley Park is sited on an areaof coastal land that flows from thehigh point of Bondi Junction downtowards the sea in an easterlydirection. The generally sloping sitehas been altered over the years withfill to create flat terraces for activeuse.The resulting landscape form is aseries of terraces located arounda central “hill” which rises some 20metres to a vantage point at 111.8metres, with panoramic views of thesurrounding residential areas andcoastline.The Waverley Park landscape canbe classified into four landscapeunits based on the topography of thearea, each with a different characterand management requirements.These character areas are the:1) Sportsgrounds2) Hill Slopes3) Hill Top4) Formal GardensSportsgroundsThe sportsground character areais defined by flat grass terracesthat wrap around the easternboundary and southwest cornerof the Park. These terraces createsuitable playing surfaces in thePark and accommodate the Oval,multiuse fields and courts.The highly manicured surfaceof the Oval is enclosed within atraditional white picket boundaryfence. The Oval is dominatedby the new Pavilion, a moderncontemporary structure withexpansive views out to the coast.Beyond the Oval, the wideopen flat fields extend along theeastern boundary, elevated abovePark Parade. The terraced hardsurfaces in the southwest provideall weather netball courts. Furtherup the slope another terraceprovides a bocce court and amultipurpose court.Landcover is dominated by grasswith border plantings of large treesincluding Figs, Casuarinas andTuckeroos.Hill SlopesThe hill slope character areawraps around the slopes of thewater reservoir hill and providesrelief to the flat terraces ofthe sportgrounds. The steeplyundulating slopes are dominatedby a dense blanket of largetrees including groves of Pines,Eucalyptus, Casuarinas and Figs.The vegetation provides shade andshelter as well as habitat for birdlife.Tucked in at the bottom of theslope is a sheltered playground andbarbecue area.Hill TopThe hill top character area is thehighest point of the Park. Thischaracter type is characterisedby a denuded and exposed grassplatform with spectacular 360degree views to the surroundingCity. The hill top is dominatedby the heritage water reservoirbuildings.Formal GardensThe formal garden type ischaracterised by a flat grassedarea that is enclosed by formalornamental garden beds, clippedhedge and trees planted soldierstyle. The Council Chambersprovides the western boundary.The sheltered site is internallyfocused on a war memorialsculpture and memorial garden atthe centre of the site.An ornamental annual flowerbedis located along the Bondi Roadfrontage of Chambers. Terracedsandstone garden beds backedby a clipped hedge and plantedwith local native species stepdown the Park boundary alongBondi Road. A pergola coveredin Wisteria forms a gateway intothe Park between the terracedgardens and hedge, framing thewar memorials.24 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

Enhancing the EnvironmentEnvironmentalIssuesloss of remnant vegetation, mature trees, mix of native and exotic plantings, turf weeds,habitat quality, connection to wildlife corridors, conflict between habitat and recreation uses,no environmental interpretation, no recyclingEnvironmentalOpportunitiesuse of indigenous species planting palette, mature tree audit and planting strategy, increasepercentage of native plantings, develop weed management strategy, corridor and habitatplanting plan, interpretation, incorporate dog drinking facilities with existing bubblers,investigate a recycling trialThe flora and fauna of WaverleyPark is highly valued by thecommunity for many reasonsincluding providing shade andshelter, habitat for wildlife, soilrestoration, natural beauty anda sense of place. The Park iscategorised as a landscapeconservation area in the WaverleyLEP 2011.In the Waverley Park Visitor Study(2008) visitors perceived treesand natural areas to be the most“important” areas of Waverley Park.Trees were also perceived as thebest “performing” aspect of the Park.EcologyVegetation has the potential tosupport diverse ecosystems withinthe urban fabric and contribute tothe quality of life for urban residents.The Waverley LGA, like many urbanareas, has been highly urbanisedover time with limited areas ofremnant vegetation remaining.Waverley Park is categorised asan exposed ridge top due to theexposure of the site to southerlyand westerly winds. The underlyinggeology of Hawkesbury Sandstoneonce supported low coastal heathand small leaved sclerophyllusplants. The plant communitiesconsisted of Westringia fruticosa,Baekea imbricata and Lomandralongifolia. Taller heath and scrubstands would have been dominatedby Allocasuarina distyla, Banksiaericifolia, Leptospermum laevigatumand Melaleuca nodosa with smallershrubs including Hakea dactyloides.Timber species in the woodlandswould have included Eucalyptushaemastoma, Eucalyptusgummifera, Eucalyptus oblonga,Eucalyptus sparsifolia andAngophora costata with a shrubbyunder-storey including Banksiaserrata.The original plant communities ofthese areas provides a snapshotof the ecology prior to Europeansettlement and a useful indigenousplanting schedule for future plantingprojects in the Park.Mature TreesThe mature trees in Waverley Parkcontribute to the character of thesite and are highly valued by thecommunity.The mature trees represent threekey planting eras. These include thelate Victorian to early Federation, theinterwar period and the 1970s to thepresent.The late Victorian to earlyFederation of 1890-1920 isrepresented by Norfolk Island Pinesand Port Jackson Figs. The CanaryIsland Date Palms in the MemorialGardens date from 1916. A largeFig (Ficus rubiginosa) located onthe Birrell Street Park boundary hasbeen listed on Council’s SignificantTree Register. It is thought the28 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

tree may have been planted bylandscape gardener Adolf Schneider,who undertook improvements in thepark in the 1880s. Identifying theremnants of the original plantingperiod should be undertake andgaps in the avenues and borderplantings could be replaced withsimilar species.The interwar period from 1930-1950includes Kaffir Plum, Blackbean,Hills Figs and possibly the avenue ofPines.The final period of tree plantingdates from 1970-present whereEucalypts and Casuarinas weremass planted in an ad hoc manner.The following trees are listedwithin the Waverley Heritage Study(Perumal Murphy, 1990) as locallysignificant for Waverley Park: theNorfolk Island Pines, Canary IslandPalms, Port Jackson and MoretonBay Figs, Holly Oak, Black Bean,Radiata Pines, Golden Poplar, HillsFig, Coast Banksia, Eucalypts andCasuarina species. These treesshould be mapped to protect andenhance the character zones of thePark.As the trees advance in age theymay become susceptible to disease.The Canary Island Date Palms alongthe Memorial Garden boundary havebeen lost due to Fusarium wilt. Aplan needs to be made for a suitablespecies to replace these Palms.The Radiata Pine stand on theeast slope is planned for gradualreplacement with native trees andplants. The Pine’s allelopathic qualityprevents growth of any understoreyvegetation. However the trees arerecognised for providing habitat anda food source for Black Cockatoosand species replacement shouldtake this into account.The mature species are vital tothe character of the Park. As thetrees reach maturity they may posea potential safety hazard to Parkusers. An inventory and surveyof mature trees along with a treemanagement plan incorporatingheritage trees and planning forsenescence should be developed.A number of trees were removed forthe development of the new Pavilionas approved by the DA. Mature treesare to be planted around the Park tomitigate this removal.Native SpeciesWaverley Park is a mix of nativeand exotic plantings which reflectsthe many eras of planting that havetaken place.The Waverley CouncilEnvironmental Action Plan (2008)supports native plants through thevision that the Waverley LGA will bea place where our native speciesand ecosystems are enhanced andthreats to these are minimised.The action concerned with nativeplantings is to:• Implement policy of 95% nativeplantings in public places(remaining 5% to be allocatedtoward local food production)The Tree Management Plan (2007)identifies native plants as preferablelargely for environmental reasonsincluding habitat development,water retention, drought tolerance,less maintenance and better soilstabilisation. Native plants alsocontribute to developing a locallandscape character.Future planting of trees and plantsin Waverley Park should reflect theprinciples of the Tree ManagementPlan, LEP and the EAP.Weed ManagementNoxious weeds are managed inaccordance with the Noxious WeedsAct (1993). Waverley Park is a highlymaintained landscape and there areno reported cases of noxious weedswithin the Park. There have beensome problems reported with turfweeds including Bindii.Waverley Council has drafted aWeed Management Policy (2012)that outlines the process for weedmanagement within the LGA andshould form part of a long term weedmanagement strategy for WaverleyPark.WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-202229

HabitatBiodiversityA diversity and abundance of plants,animals and microorganisms inthe environment contributes to theecological health of urban areas.The Biodiversity Survey andWildlife Habitat Corridor Study ofthe Waverley LGA (BSWLGA )in2010 engaged the Sydney BushRegeneration Company to surveyWaverley’s biodiversity. Thisinformation provided a snapshot ofthe plants and animals present inour environment at this time.The BSWLGA (2010) found thefollowing bird species in the Park:the Australian Magpie, LaughingKookaburra, Noisy Miner, RainbowLorikeet, Welcome Swallow, Magpielark,Pied Currawong, AustralianRaven, Rock Dove, Common Myna,Common Starling and AustralianWhite Ibis. One Common BrushtailPossum was also found in thesurvey. No threatened species orremnant vegetation were identified inthe Park.All native birds, reptiles, amphibiansand mammals are protected in NewSouth Wales by the National Parksand Wildlife Act (1974). The existingtrees and grouped shrub plantingsin the Park provide an importanthabitat for birds and animals. It isimportant to protect and enhance thehabitat value of the Park for wildlife.The NSW Government’s BiodiversityStrategy (currently under review)establishes an action orientated,whole of government approach tothe protection and managementof the biodiversity within NSW.The Strategy administered by theDepartment of Environment andClimate Change, aims to:• identify and tackle threats tobiodiversity• improve our knowledge of theStates Biodiversity• involve landowners andcommunities in biodiversityconservation• manage natural resourcesbetter, for ecological sustainabledevelopment• protect native species andecosystemsThe Waverley Council EAP (2008)highlighted an action to:• Increase native habitat on publicspace for critical speciesFuture replacement of trees andplants in Waverley Park shouldreflect the principles of the EAP,the Biodiversity Survey and WildlifeHabitat Corridor Study, NationalParks and Wildlife Act and NSWGovernment’s BiodiversityStrategy. A habitat and corridorplanting plan that incorporates theindigenous plants of the area maycontribute to achieving all of thesegoals.There is some evidence that theremay be a conflict between theenhancement of habitat areasand the use of these areas forrecreation, especially dog walking.Separation of these areas throughcareful management is required tomaintain the integrity of both landuses. Interpretative signage mayhelp educate Park users understandthe importance of the biodiversityand habitat areas for the broaderbiodiversity network of Waverley.Wildlife CorridorsThe Australian Museum BusinessServices conducted a BiodiversityStudy of the Waverley LocalGovernment Area in 2010. WaverleyPark was identified as an areaof ‘good fauna habitat’ and as animportant link in the east-westcorridor, connecting Tamarama Parkto Centennial Parklands.The area of good habitat withinWaverley Park and adjoining habitatcorridor have been recognised in theBiodiversity section of the WaverleyDCP 2012. This corridor needs to beretained and enhanced to facilitatedispersal of flora and fauna speciesthroughout the LGA .30 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

SustainabilitySustainable living is one of thequadruple bottom lines in theStrategic Plan, Waverley Together2. To achieve an ecologicallysustainable local government areaour vision is to reduce greenhousegas emissions and waste to landfill,use water more efficiently andprotect and enhance our local nativeplants and animals (EAP, 2008).Waverley Park and Pavilion havea number of elements that worktowards achieving the vision of asustainable Waverley communityincluding energy efficiency, waterrecycling and waste recycling.Energy EfficiencyEnergy efficient lighting andappliances have been usedthroughout the new Pavilion.Thermal comfort is maintainedthrough a well insulated buildingincluding green roof and mechanicalventilation which replaces airconditioning.Grid electricityconsumption has further beenreduced through a north facing10KW photovoltaic system on theroof of the grandstand.Opportunities for energy efficiencythroughout the Park should beexplored.Water ResourcesFresh water should be availablefor hydration by Park users andespecially after recreation activities.Three bubblers currently existin the Park. One near the TramShelter on Bondi Road, one nearthe playground and the other on theBirrell Street boundary of Field 3. Abubbler near the netball courts andbocce courts may be of value andshould be investigated. Incorporatingdog drinking facilities should also beconsidered.Within the Pavilion, rainwater andsubsurface water are captured onthe site for toilet flushing, cleaninguses and Park irrigation. Thissignificantly reduces the use ofnon-potable water at Waverley Park.Water efficient appliances are usedthroughout the building which willfurther reduce potable water usage.The amount of water harvested andused should be monitored to ensurean adequate supply is available.Further opportunities to harvest orreuse water should also be exploredthroughout the Park.Waste and RecyclingLitter bins are required in strategiclocations throughout the Parkand are installed when required.At present there is no separationbetween recycling and waste.A public place recycling scheme thatinvolves the separation of waste andrecycling has been successful atBondi Beach. A trial of this schemealong with an education programmecould be undertaken in WaverleyPark to reduce the amount of wastebeing sent to landfill.At present the green wastegenerated in the Park is recycledas part of Council’s broader greenwaste program. This scheme shouldcontinue as there is no appropriatelocation for onsite composting atpresent.WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-202231

Celebrating the PastHeritageIssuesno Aboriginal interpretation, statue and memorials require conservation managementstrategy (CMS), graffiti damage to reservoir, playground rocket refit, scoreboardbuilding out of date, bus shelter upkeepHeritageOpportunitiesconsultation with LALC, heritage interpretation, heritage trail, develop memorial CMS,rededicate fountain, preserve sandstone walls, retain rocket as sculpture, reuse scoreboard,develop heritage bus shelter designWaverley Park is valued for themany stories and significant itemsthat celebrate the rich and diverseheritage of the site and the broaderLGA.Aboriginal HeritageThe following information has beentaken from the Aboriginal CulturalHeritage Study (Dominic SteeleConsulting Archaeology, 2003).Aboriginal people have inhabitedthe greater Sydney region forover 20,000 years. A number ofcommunities were associated withthe land between Sydney Harbourand Botany Bay and it appears likelythat the Cadi-gal Clan inhabited theland of the present day WaverleyLGA.The Cadi-gal had access toabundant resources from the seaand coastal land including fish andshellfish, plant and animal foods,stone, wood and fibres as well asfresh water springs located nearpresent day Flood Street. Walkingtracks possibly crossed the studyarea due to the commanding viewsfrom the site.Much of the Waverley LGAlandscape has been highlyurbanised over time. There aremiddens, shelters, art and rockengravings in sites throughout theLGA but there are no recorded sitesat Waverley Park.Aboriginal culture is ongoingand cultural learning through theenvironment links Aboriginal peoplewith who they are and wherethey belong. Traditional resourcegathering sites and other naturallandforms in the local landscapemay continue to be culturallysignificant to the contemporaryAboriginal community. It is importanttherefore that consultation onmatters regarding conservationand major development of theWaverley Park landscape should besought from the La Perouse LocalAboriginal Land Council (LALC).It is also important to note that underthe National Park and Wildlife Act(1974) any Aboriginal archaeologyrevealed during excavation orconstruction in the Park wouldrequire work to immediately ceaseand advice be sought from theLALC, as well as contacting theOffice of Environment and Heritage.At present there is no Aboriginalheritage interpretation in the Park,although it is reflected in the newpiece of public art to be installed inthe Pavilion. There is an opportunityto include this important layer ofWaverley’s heritage as part ofa broader understanding of theAboriginal heritage of Waverley andto incorporate these stories withinthe existing heritage trails that runthroughout the LGA.Park HeritageWhen the Local Government Area ofWaverley was officially proclaimed in1859, the LGA contained no parks orrecreation areas. Gazetted in 1880,Waverley was our first Park and holdsa special place in our local culturalheritage. The Park is listed as locallysignificant in the Waverley HeritageStudy (1990).Before the creation of Waverley Parkfor recreation, the land was known asFlagstaff Farm. On public holidays theland was opened for the community toplay sports and ball games. A Chinesemarket garden also existed on the farmand supplied the local community withfresh fruit and vegetables. These twoearly activities of sport and gardeningwent on to have a strong influence onthe future use and values of the landas a public open space.The sporting history of the Park datesfrom the 1880s when the WaverleyCricket Club gained approval toconstruct a pitch. Football codes alsobegan using the Park at this time. In1890, the Oval was created and in1908 the first Pavilion was built for thebenefit of cricketers and the public. ThePavilion was replaced in 1938, with anInter War Functionalist style building.Council demolished and replacedthe old Pavilion with a new multi-usebuilding completed in 2012. Priorto demolition an archival recordingof the old Pavilion was undertakenby Rappoport Heritage Consultants(2009).32 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

Significant heritageitems in the ParkWaverley Park is lucky to havea number of significant heritageitems in the Park which are highlyvalued for their celebration andremembrance of the past. Theseitems have specific needs thatrequire an appropriate managementstrategy to be developed.ReservoirsThe group of three reservoirs,located on the highest point ofthe Park, supply the EasternSuburbs with water. The elevatedgrandiose Victorian style reservoirwith monumental steps is visiblefrom Bondi Road, providing a keylandmark in the Waverley landscape.The elevated reservoir (WS 0136)along with reservoir No.1 (WS0132) are listed as of state andlocal heritage significance. No.2reservoir (WS 0133) is also listed aslocally significant. A fourth reservoir(WS 0134) lies outside of the Parkboundary.The Office of Environment andHeritage notes the following listingfor the Waverley Park Reservoirs.The Waverley Reservoir Groupdemonstrates the dramatic increasein demand for water from 1887through to 1938 and the progressionand development of reservoirconstruction techniques. WaverleyReservoir (covered) completed in1887, was the last of four reservoirsbuilt as part of the Botany SwampsScheme (1858-1886). Withincreasing demand, the WaverleyReservoir (elevated) and WaverleyReservoir No.2 (covered) wereadded in 1917. In 1938, supply wasenhanced with the construction ofWaverley Reservoir No.3.The site is owned and maintained bySydney Water. Due to the elevatednature of the site, the reservoir isprone to graffiti and cooperationwith Sydney Water is required tokeep the building in good condition.Interpreting the reservoirs heritagevalue and function, in collaborationwith Sydney Water, should beinvestigated to allow the significantheritage stories of these items to betold.MonumentsThe World War One monument,located in the Memorial Gardenswas erected in 1918 and features anANZAC soldier on a four quadrantRoll of Honour. A World War Twomonument set within a rose gardenwas added in 1959. Council arrangesannual commemoration ceremoniesfor Anzac Day, Remembrance Day andRussian Victory Day at this site.The sandstone Gregory MemorialFountain, listed as locally significant,was erected in 1911, in memory oflocal cricketer Charles W. Gregoryby his clubmates and admirers. In1965, the fountain was rededicated toinclude James Webb, Victor Jacksonand Peter Fingleton, three youngcricketers who died in a car accident.In 1991, the fountain was vandalisedand the stone pillar smashed. With thebuilding of the new Pavilion requiringthe relocation of the fountain, aConservation Management Strategywas prepared and the structure wasremoved from site and restored. It willbe erected near the original location in2012 and a rededication ceremony willbe held.A number of other memorials aredotted around the Park. A plaquededicated to cricketer Allan Kippax wasunveiled in 1980 and located near theOval. It was removed for constructionof the new Pavilion and will be placedback at the site in 2012. A granitehorse trough, donated in the name ofAmeila Hall, was relocated from SpringStreet to the Paul Street Boundary ofthe Park in 1963. Miss Hall was knownfor founding an exclusive boy’s privateschool. In 1987, a fragrance gardenwas constructed in the MemorialGardens dedicated to Jack Byrnes, aformer Council officer.A conservation management strategyfor all of these monuments woulddevelop best practice approaches totheir future care and management.34 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

Playing and RelaxingRecreationIssuesprovision for casual and organised users, more dog off-leash areas, recreation provision forall ages, update fitness equipment, conflict between share path users, shortage of playingfields in LGA, only night lit fields in LGA, demand for tennis courts, demand for more netballcourts, relocation of public cricket nets, relocation of bocce courts, vandalism of toilet blockRecreationOpportunitiesincrease dog off-leash areas, provide dog waste facilities, upgrade fitness equipment for allages, develop sustainable transport strategy for park, upgrade playing fields, reinstate tenniscourts, increase netball courts and upgrade surfaces, investigate multi-purpose hoopsWaverley Park is Council’s premieractive recreation facility. The Parkis valued for the open space andrecreation facilities that provide thecommunity with a variety of casualand organised activities.Casual RecreationWaverley Park is used regularly bylocals and visitors and enjoyed bypeople of all age and gender groups.The largest group of Park users isthe casual recreation group.A 2008 Park Visitor Study by theUniversity of Technology Sydney,found that 40% of visitors usedthe Park for a variety of casualrecreation activities includingwalking, cycling, jogging, yoga,picnicking, playing, dog walking,relaxing and watching sport. 7%visited primarily for sport and 49%undertook multiple activities. 70% ofrespondents visited the Park at leastonce a week.The challenge of providing for casualand organised recreation is one ofthe key issues in the management ofWaverley Park. Casual visitors usingbooked spaces can cause additionalwear to the playing surfaces andrequires careful planning andeducation to meet the needs of bothgroups. With casual users being thebiggest user group, care must betaken to ensure a balance betweenthe provision of amenities for thisgroup with organised recreationusers.Dog WalkingThere is high demand for dogexercise areas in the Park. Underthe NSW Companion Animals Act(1998), dogs must be kept on aleash at all times in public areas,unless otherwise designated. TheAct also prohibits dogs from a rangeof areas for public health and safetyreasons including recreation areasused for the playing of organisedgames.Currently an off-leash area exists onthe south side of the reservoir slope.Dog owners have requested morespace for off-leash exercise. Councilis reviewing the Dog Exercise AreaPolicy, to investigate providing morespace for off-leash exercise whichmay include the area around thetop of the reservoir. The location willneed to be balanced with the habitatareas of the Park.There are currently no dog wastefacilities located in the Park.Locating these facilities near the offleashareas would help to meet theneeds of dog walkers. Incorporatingdog drinking facilities with bubblersshould also be considered.Installing dog information signageand suitable equipment to restraindogs at a safe distance from cafeand playground should also beforeinvestigated.Exercise StationThe fitness equipment is located onthe eastern boundary and is wellused but does not meet the needs ofa diverse age group. Upgrading theequipment to include activities fortweens and seniors would addressthis issue. The equipment couldalso be divided into stations locatedaround the Park to provide a moredynamic fitness circuit.36 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

CyclingA regional bikeway shares the mainpathway through the Park. This pathhas been upgraded and widenedto accommodate shared use withpedestrians. Cycling is an importantform of recreation and transportbut conflict between cyclists andpedestrians needs to be managedwith clear signage, to educate bothuser groups.Green LinksThe Green Links PedestrianNetwork is an integrated network ofrecreation pedestrian links acrossthe Waverley LGA. The networkprovides recreation opportunities forlocal residents and visitors, as wellas providing links to schools, shops,beaches and transport.Green Links 4 connects BondiJunction with Tamarama Beach andpasses through Waverley Park.Organised RecreationWaverley Park is Council’s mainsporting venue that accommodatesorganised recreation includingcricket, rugby, football and netball aswell as athletics carnivals. There is ahigh demand for use of the existingfacilities including the fields, netballcourts, cricket nets and bocce courtswhich all require a formal booking.Waverley Park PavilionThe new Pavilion is a strikingcontemporary building sitting abovethe Oval with sweeping views outto the coast. Built with a mix ofFederal and State grant funding,NSW Cricket and Waverley Councilfunding the building incorporatesgrandstand seating for 250 people,an indoor sports court, communityroom and cafe.The new Pavilion increases theorganised recreation capacity of thePark by providing a multipurposeindoor court. The court is linemarkedfor basketball, futsal, volleyball andnetball and spectator seating isallowed around the court. The mainfunction of the sports court is toprovide recreation opportunities thatbenefit the local community.The club rooms are predominantlyused by sporting clubs in theevenings and weekends, as part ofthe agreed licences. The northernclub room is available to book inthe summer for small meetings andclasses.The Pavilion also accommodatesfacilities for Park staff and somestorage.Waverley OvalThe Oval sits below the new Pavilionand is fenced with a traditional whitepicket style fence. The field is highlymanicured and maintained to firstgrade cricket grade standard bycontract greenkeepers. The Ovalis used for cricket in summer andvarious codes in the winter.With the close proximity of thenew Pavilion to the Oval and theinclusion of grandstand seating,club rooms, storage and changefacilities in the new building, it isexpected that demand to use theOval will increase. This will need tobe carefully managed to balance theneeds of all user groups.WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-202237

Playing FieldsThe sports fields 2 and 3 are locatedon the eastern side of the Parkand accommodate a wide range oforganised activities as well as casualrecreation use. In summer the usergroups include pre-winter traininggroups and school sports events.In winter, seasonal sports such asfootball (soccer), Gaelic athletics,rugby league, rugby union and AFLare played on the fields.There is a shortage of playing fieldsin the Waverley LGA with WaverleyPark the only site to provide aregulation size cricket pitch. Witha high level of demand, the fieldsrequire constant maintenanceand in 2012 are scheduled for acomplete upgrade involving levelling,soil improvement, irrigation,multipurpose goal posts andreturfing. The upgrade will respondto the increased demand andensure equitable field use.Sports LightingThe Oval and playing fields areWaverley Council’s only full size,irrigated playing fields with lights.Winter is a popular time forsports participation in Waverley.Regionally, there is a high demandfor weeknight winter training underlights for winter codes. During wintermonths, lighting extends eveningparticipation in sport and recreationactivities.Southwest TerraceThree tennis courts previouslyoperated in the southwest cornerof Waverley Park from the early1970’s by a private operator. Theywere used for competitions andby Waverley College. By the early1990’s the courts had deterioratedand were in need of significantrepair. In 2000 two of the courtswere removed with one remaining asan multipurpose court.The Recreation Needs Study (2008)found that there was an undersupply of tennis courts in Waverley,with tennis ranked in the top tenmost popular sports. Master Planinvestigations found that a minimumof four courts, floodlighting, eveningoperating hours and a long-termlease would be necessary for atennis operation to be viable.Netball CourtsNetball is a major women’s sport inAustralia. Three all-weather netballcourts are located near the BirrellStreet boundary of the Park andone multipurpose court sits on thelower slopes of the reservoir. Netballgroups and schools regularly use thecourts and they have requested anadditional court to meet the growingdemand. The courts playing surfacesalso require upgrading.A Youth Consultation held in 2010raised the idea of installing abasketball court. One possibility isto investigate installing multipurposehoops and backboards on theexisting hoops to accommodatenetball and basketball users.Cricket Practice NetsThere are two sets of cricket nets inthe Park. A set of turf (practice) netsare located within the Oval boundaryfor club cricket use and a set forpublic use is located near the netballcourts.There is demand for an additionalset of club cricket nets at the Ovaland these could be located near theexisting set. The possible installationof a fourth all weather netball court,would require the public nets to berelocated and upgraded.Bocce CourtsTwo bocce groups regularly playthe game on the courts located onthe lower slopes of the reservoir.The two bocce courts are aging andneed upgrading as well as additionalseating and shade provision.Relocating the bocce courts willneed to be investigated if theproposed Amenity Building proceedsin this location.38 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

Council decided toexplore opportunities for a trialgarden and consulted with theWaverley Sustainability Street groupto determine a site. The groupdeveloped a concept plan and aftera year of planning and consultingwith Council, held their first workingbee in May 2011. The ‘Big Dig’working bee attracted more than 50local people who helped install fourraised garden beds, participatedin gardening workshops andshared their passion for communitygardening.The Waverley Park CommunalGarden has its own website andFacebook page and continues to runa successful and productive garden.In December 2011, the CommunalGarden group received a grant,as part of Council’s Small GrantsProgram, to support Stage 2 of theircommunal garden which includesinstalling more raised garden bedsand additional educational elements.There are opportunities to increasethe community involvement with theenvironment of the Park through agreen gym or adopt-a-park scheme.The establishment of a Green Gymcould help improve community healthand wellbeing and the environmentat the same time. Green Gymexercise sessions are centredaround gardening activities includingweeding, planting and pruning.

Historically sports clubshave had short term temporarylicences and exclusive use to partsof the old Pavilion, have operatedindependently and had a strongsense of ownership. The newPavilion will operate differently withno exclusive licences or preferentialaccess for users and with Councilmore involved in the management ofthe building.The main objective of the CrownLands Act 1989 (CLA) is to ensurethat the land is managed for thebenefit of the people of NSW. Theallocation of leases and licences canconflict with this objective. Leasesand licences need to protect thepublic’s interest in Crown Reserveswith a transparent process ofallocation.Crown land is generally only madeavailable for commercial leasingby way of public competition andrequires the Minister for Landsconsent. In 2010/11, Councilundertook Expressions of Interestto determine the level of interest inusing the Park and Pavilion facilitiesfrom not-for-profit sporting andrecreational organisations. A varietyof levels of use were requested byapplicants, ranging from weekdaytraining, sports club facilities in thePavilion and sports fields for trainingand match play.The longer term licences have beendetermined using the followingevaluation criteria :• carrying capacity of the Oval andplaying fields 2 and 3• community contribution• ability to meet financialobligations of the licence• compatibility with other usersgroups• historic connections• proposed financial or in kindcontributions• commitment to community sportand recreation outcomes• commitment to environmentalsustainabilityLonger term licences will befinalised after Council approval andMinister for Lands consent. It is arequirement under the CLA that alicence of more than twelve monthsbe endorsed by the Minister forLands. Licence holders will not bepermitted to sublet.The multipurpose indoor court and acommunity room will be available forbookings by community and sportinggroups. Licensees will be able tobook these facilities but will not getpreference over other communitygroups because of their licences touse other parts of the Pavilion.48 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

Mission StatementDuring consultation on the WaverleyPark Pavilion building and theMaster Plan, other significant issueswere identified relating to the use offields and facilities including:• vehicles in the Park and illegalparking• alcohol consumption andlicensing• damage to the old Pavilion• rubbish being left after use• delayed payments for usage• illegal use of the Oval andplaying fieldsThe Mission Statement andObjectives of the Waverley ParkPavilion provide the broad principlesthat will guide the management andoperation of the Pavilion. The licenceagreement will address the specificobligations that licensees will have inorder to achieve the objectives andaddress the significant issues raisedduring consultation.Commercial activitiesThe Reserve Trust Handbook notesthat income producing avenues fora reserve should be explored in theplan of management. Funding is anissue for many reserves so incomeproducing opportunities, need to bemaximised. Any commercial use ofa reserve must be consistent withthe reserve purpose, unless anadditional use is authorised in a planof management, a lease granted bythe Minister or additional purposeauthorised by the Minister.Waverley Council as ReserveTrust Manager of Waverley Park isrequired under the Crown LandsAct (1989) to direct 15% of allproceeds from commercial leasesand licences greater than $2000 pato the State based Public ReserveManagement Fund. The PRM Funddistributes the money on a meritbasis to individual Trusts who applyfor project funding.Tennis Courts LeaseCouncil has undertaken anExpression of Interest for theconstruction and operation of a fourcourt tennis facility. Tennis courtoperators have been invited torespond with proposals to developand operate the court facility, witha tender process to follow. Thepreferred tender’s proposal will besubject to Council approval and theDA process.The preferred tender will undertakethe design, consultation andconstruction phases of the project.The operation of the courtswill require community access.Minimising the impact on SydneyWater infrastructure will be a keyconsideration in the design andconstruction of the courts.Waverley Park Pavilion Mission StatementWaverley Park Pavilion will provide a high quality multipurpose recreation and community facilityat Waverley Park that significantly contributes to the present and future needs of local and regionalcommunities.

Cafe LeaseThe Food and Beverage Outletson Crown Reserves Policy (2004)guides the assessing of food andbeverage outlets on Crown reserves.The Minister for Lands is responsiblefor granting consent.An Expression of Interest has beenundertaken to find a successfultenderer for the café fitout andoperation located in the Pavilion.The lease period will be for a fiveyear period with five year option andrequires consent from the Ministerof Lands. The cafe is expected to beopen in 2012.It is a requirement under the CLA fora plan of management to note thesize and scale of the Cafe. The sizeis as follows:• Internal café 31.5m 2• Kitchen 14m 2• Outdoor seating 30m 2This is a small impact compared tothe size of the whole Park at 10.21ha.Kiosk LicenceStakeholder consultation identifiedthe demand for a kiosk. The purposeof the kiosk is to allow sportsclubs to do fund-raising by sellingfood, drinks and merchandise toclub members, supporters andspectators. A barbecue is also partof the kiosk facility.The kiosk will form part of severallicence agreements. Licenceagreements are by nature fornon-exclusive use, so the facilityis a shared facility. Other sportsorganisations may be able to bookthe kiosk and/or BBQ from time totime on a case by case basis.Liquor LicensingSignificant changes to liquorlicensing laws came into effect on 1July 2008 with the commencementof the Liquor Act 2007 and theLiquor Regulation 2008. ReserveTrusts must consider the suitabilityand appropriateness of permittinglicensed premises on Crown land.Alcohol consumption in the Park andold Pavilion has been unregulatedin the past. Liquor licences maybe requested in the future by clubsoccupying the club rooms in thenew Pavilion. Council will requireclubs to obtain their own liquorlicences and will seek to regulatealcohol consumption. Licenceswill have conditions including strictcompliance, responsible service ofalcohol, defined hours and locationsof serving and other requirements.Photo of new cafe once fitted out50 WAVERLEY PARK AND PAVILION DRAFT PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2012-2022

Commercial Fitness Groupsand Personal TrainersPersonal fitness training is one ofthe strongest growth segments inthe fitness industry with increasingnumbers of trainers using publicreserves. This has raised a numberof issues including:• equity of access• impact on assets• facility management• and public liability concernsThe need to regulate the use ofpublic reserves by organised orcommercial fitness groups andpersonal fitness trainers has led tothe updated Waverley CommercialFitness Groups And PersonalTrainers’ Policy And Guidelines(2011). The policy aims to:• ensure equity of access to publicparks and reserves• reduce the impact of commercialfitness activities on assets• and minimise public liabilityconcernsPermissible fitness activities, subjectto Council approval, include:• gym sessions• boxing and pad training• organised aerobic activity• yoga, Tai Chi and Pilatesclasses and like activities• circuit training• and a combination of the aboveExcluded activities include:• aggressive, intimidating ormilitary style activities• amplified music or amplifiedaudioThe Policy does not apply to localsporting clubs or local schools.Waverley Park is a permitted trainingarea under the Policy. There arecurrently two commercial trainersoperating in the Park with twotrainers that require registration.A permit is valid for one year andwill authorise each trainer to useWaverley Park for fitness activitieson a non-exclusive basis. The limitfor Waverley Park is four groups oftwelve.Only two areas are permitted in thePark for use by commercial fitnessgroups and personal trainers:• around the water reservoir and• field 3 and 4Commercial Dog WalkersCommercial dog walkers have beenobserved exercising large groups ofdogs in the Park. Usually only one ortwo people are in control of a largenumber of dogs which can result inproblems such as a lack of control,noise and conflict with other Parkusers.There is limited policy aroundcommercial dog walking, withcurrent regulations stipulating thatone person may only walk up to fourdogs.The use of the Park by commercialdog walkers needs to beinvestigated to determine the levelof use. Council is currently reviewingthe Dog Exercise Policy and aCommercial Dog Walkers Policy,similar to the Commercial FitnessGroup Policy, could be developed tomanage this activity.Permitted activitiesTemporary licences permit shorttermand generally low impactactivities in the Park and Pavilion.These licences do not requireconsent from the Minister for Lands.The Reserve Trust Handbook (2007)sets out the purposes for which atemporary licence may be grantedon Crown land and include for:• access• advertising• camping• catering• emergency occupation• entertainment• equestrian events• markets• exhibitions• filming• functions• grazing• hiring of equipment• holiday accommodation• meetings• military exercises• sales• shows• sporting• storageThe Filming Related LegislationAmendment Act (2008) amendsthe Crown Lands Act (1989) toallow a reserve trust to grant alease or licence to enable a filmingproject, whether or not this use isconsistent with an adopted planof management, or the purpose ofthe reserve.
