16. QUESTIONS ON NOTICE 16.1 CR N GREER - MITCHAM RAILWAY STATION BUILDINGS

QUESTIONS (1) What response has been received from the expression of interest

process for the Mitcham Railway Station buildings? (2) What next steps are proposed to continue progress in this matter? ANSWER The Director Corporate Services and Innovation replied: This was the subject of a confidential report to Council on 24 January 2017.

16.2 CR N GREER - ‘WELCOME TO MITCHAM HILLS’ SIGN QUESTIONS (1) Is Council prioritising the renewal of the 'Welcome to Mitcham Hills'

sign which is now in disrepair? (2) What other initiatives does Council have to improve the amenity of the

roadside at entrances to the Mitcham Hills, including new plantings and clearance of deadwood?

REASON I have received the following email from a resident:

Dear Nick, I am writing with a request. Could you raise with council the appalling state of the entrance to the hills at the bottom of Shepherds Hill. In particular the walls that retain the roads are in a terrible state covered in weed. The "Welcome to Mitcham Hills” sign that advertises community clubs has been broken for a long time. Overall it is very untidy and unloved. Perhaps a general clean up, removal of dead vegetation, some plantings and new signage could elevate the area to one of pride. Imagine beautiful bougainvillea spilling over the cement blocks as used extensively at Flinders University, a modern sign that represented the area. Please get rid of this awful 1960 signage. Thank you.


ANSWERS The Director Engineering and Horticulture has provided the following response: (1) We understand that the Welcome to Mitcham Hills signs were

originally installed by service clubs operating in the area as a means of advertising their clubs. Administration has been working with representatives from the service clubs for over 6 months to look at possible replacement signs. A number of preliminary designs were prepared although better alternatives are now being sought. Due to a number of factors, discussions have not progressed as fast as anticipated. Staff intend to follow up with the clubs in the next month.

(2) Council conducts routine maintenance along the main access roads

into all areas within the City, including the Mitcham Hills. In the longer term, Welcome Signs may require some additional vegetation clearance and/or landscaping but the extent will depend on funding arrangements. Formal approvals are likely to be required for any new signage proposed.

16.3 CR N GREER - WITTUNGA BOTANIC GARDENS PLAYSPACE QUESTIONS (1) What discussions with the State Government and any other key

stakeholders have occurred regarding the council resolution for a playspace at Wittunga Botanic Gardens?

(2) In the opinion of administration, and given any discussions to date,

what is the likelihood of securing necessary support from State Government to allow this project to proceed at Wittunga?

ANSWERS The Director Engineering and Horticulture replied: (1) Administration has met on-site with Nature Play SA and Botanic

Garden staff at Wittunga Botanic Gardens.

There is in-principle support from Botanic Gardens staff for the development of a nature play space within the Wittunga Botanic Gardens subject to funding and formal State Government approval. As part of these discussions, Botanic Gardens staff indicated that they would not be in a position to provide direct funding for design and/or construction, but rather they would propose that their contribution would be contribution of site and on-going maintenance. The play space could therefore be located on Botanic Gardens land and they would retain ownership of any facilities/equipment. Any funding or in-kind support contributed by Council would be by way of a grant.


(2) Based on discussions to date, there appears to be in-principle support

from Botanic Gardens staff for the development of a nature play space within the Wittunga Botanic Gardens, subject to funding and formal approval of the State Government. Whether the State will support this proposal further depends on the nature of any proposal brought forward. Issues to be resolved include possible funding, land tenure, ownership of the facilities and ongoing maintenance responsibilities. Council staff and Nature Play SA representatives are planning to meet with the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure regarding a possible opportunities to obtain part funding under the Open Space and Places for People Grants in 2016-17. Applications for funding close 13 February 2017 and would require Council endorsement if an application was to be submitted, although realistically an application for 2017/18 grant is more likely.

Grants under the Open Space and Places for People Grant Scheme are usually based on a $ for $ contribution and while there could be some consideration given to in-kind support, a successful application may require an initial up-front budget to obtain grant funding support. A further Council report will be submitted following discussions with funding partners and development of a scope of works that could identify indicative design and construction costs.
