OPEN SPACE CONTEXT
THE ONE LARGE PARK IN BELMORE Belmore Sport and Recreation Precinct has a critical role to play in the open space context of the region. It is one of five large open spaces in the surrounding suburbs. Importantly, this site is the only large park in Belmore. As a result, the park must be high performing and maximise the opportunities for public use across the site.
RUDD PARK
CANTERBURY RACECOURSE
CAMPSIE
S RD
CANTERBURY TASKER PARK
EORGE
The site is also well located near the Bankstown Rail Line, with Belmore Station at the western end of the site. Canterbury Road and Burwood Road also provide excellent vehicle access to the site.
KING G
The large parks nearby include: Parry Park, Rudd Park, Tasker Park and Wiley Park.
COOKS RIVER PARRY PARK BELMORE
There are some small parks in Belmore, but most are very small and can not perform the open space services that the Belmore Sports and Recreation Precinct should provide.

SUMMARY OF KEY SITE ISSUES Our analysis of the precinct identified the following key issues:
1.
ACCESS AND VISIBILITY
2.
FENCING AND SEPARATION OF SPACES
3.
FLOOD PRONE LAND
Views from local streets into the park are blocked. Pedestrian paths around the precinct are disconnected and poor quality.
The precinct is fenced off into four separate spaces, due to lease arrangements. This restricts the way people move through the park.
The precinct floods along Redman Parade and the railway line. This limits the use of Terry Lamb Reserve and the shared path along the rail line.
4. SAFETY
5.
6.
Pedestrian lanes are narrow. Poor visibility and low lighting make the precinct feel unsafe.
The precinct has large open green spaces. These could be given functions to support the parks use.
BELMORE SPORTS AND RECREATION PRECINCT PREFERRED MASTERPLAN OPTION
NOT ENOUGH USES OF GREEN SPACE
OPEN SPACE OFTEN EMPTY
The bowling club site is under-patronised. This site could be shared to make the most of the open space.

4. COMMUNITY HUB AS A NEW IDENTITY FOR THE PARK COMMUNITY HUB OR NEW FRONTAGE TO THE SPORTS GROUND TO CREATE A NEW PUBLIC FACE TO THE PARK
17
DESIGN PRINCIPLES The following diagrams show key objectives of the masterplan:
5. MULTI-PURPOSE EDGES PARK EDGES INCLUDE PLANTING, FLOOD CONTROL AND ACTIVE USES WITH THE TRAINS SLIDING PAST IN THE BACKGROUND
BELMORE SPORTS AND RECREATION PRECINCT PREFERRED MASTERPLAN OPTION
6. PATH NETWORK A PATH NETWORK THAT CONNECTS KEY SPACES
7. BALANCE PRIVATE SPORT AND PUBLIC ACCESS A FLEXIBLE DESIGN THAT WORKS IN EVERYDAY AND EVENT MODE
12. October. 2018 FINAL DRAFT
8. ACCESS AND VIEWS CAR PARKING ALONG EDGES AND VIEWS INTO THE PARK FROM ALL STREETS
18
APPROACH TO INTERCULTURAL DESIGN The draft masterplan responds to the cultural diversity of Belmore. The design process should continue inclusive consultation of cultural groups. The following images show examples and ideas for an intercultural approach to the masterplan:
1. CONNECTION TO COUNTRY
2. CONNECTION TO WATER
AN INDIGENOUS NAME FOR THE BELMORE PRECINCT
MANY CULTURES IN BELMORE HAVE A STRONG CONNECTION TO WATER
A VISIBLE WELCOME TO COUNTRY ON INDIGENOUS LAND
INCLUDE CONTACT WITH WATER IN THE EVERYDAY USE OF THE PARK
A PARKLAND THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE CREEK AND INDIGENOUS WOODLAND OF THE AREA
3. COLOUR AND PATTERN USE COLOUR AND PATTERN TO HELP TO BUILD CULTURAL CONNECTION FOR THE DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF BELMORE DEVELOP A UNIQUE IDENTITY AND A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP FOR THE PARK
4. INCLUSIVE SPACES COMMUNITY GARDENS ARE A CONNECTION TO HISTORY CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT PLANTINGS SUCH AS ARBOURS PROVIDE GOOD VISIBILITY BETWEEN USES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WATCHING
ENSURE THE PARK IS WELCOMING TO ALL

12. October. 2018 FINAL DRAFT
20
APPROACH TO LANDFORM AND WATER The masterplan makes more usable space and deal with stormwater and flooding. The following images show examples and ideas of landform and water treatment within the masterplan:
1. TERRACES IN GRASS TERRACES BETWEEN THE BOWLING CLUB AND THE PARK CAN PROVIDE SOCIAL GATHERING SPACES AND VIEWS OVER THE PARK THE HILL FACING PETER MOORE FIELDS CAN ALSO PROVIDE TERRACES FOR PASSIVE RECREATION, DOG WALKING AND VIEWING OF EVENTS ON SPORTS FIELD AREAS
BELMORE SPORTS AND RECREATION PRECINCT PREFERRED MASTERPLAN OPTION
2. PLANTING AND WATER TREATMENT
3. WATER STORAGE COURTS
PLANTING BEDS ARE DESIGNED TO COLLECT AND TREAT STORMWATER ALONG FLOOD PRONE AREAS
COURTS THAT SIT IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS CAN OPERATE AS TEMPORARY WATER DETENTION AREAS
PATHS, PASSIVE RECREATION AND THE REGIONAL PLAYGROUND COULD BE CO-LOCATED ALONG THIS EDGE
TERRACES AROUND THE COURTS CAN PROVIDE SEATING FOR GAMES AND RAISE NEARBY PATHWAYS ABOVE FLOOD LEVELS
12. October. 2018 FINAL DRAFT
21
APPROACH TO BUILDINGS IN THE PARKLANDS The masterplan uses the new community hub as a focus for the park as well as smaller support buildings in key locations. The following images show examples and ideas of how buildings might function in the masterplan:
1. PARKLAND VIEWS A BUILDING WITH VIEWS OF GREENERY AND GOOD CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOORS AND OUTDOORS.
2. MULTI PURPOSE FLEXIBLE SPACES FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES
3. SITED IN THE LANDSCAPE
4. LIGHTING AND PROJECTIONS
CHANGEROOMS, CAFE AND STOREROOMS CAN BE CONCEALED AGAINST THE HILL TO MAXIMISE USE OF GREEN SPACE.
BUILDINGS THAT ACTIVATE AND ILLUMINATE THE PARKLAND AT NIGHT.

OPEN SPACE CONTEXT
THE ONE LARGE PARK IN BELMORE Belmore Sport and Recreation Precinct has a critical role to play in the open space context of the region. It is one of five large open spaces in the surrounding suburbs. Importantly, this site is the only large park in Belmore. As a result, the park must be high performing and maximise the opportunities for public use across the site.
RUDD PARK
CANTERBURY RACECOURSE
CAMPSIE
S RD
CANTERBURY TASKER PARK
EORGE
The site is also well located near the Bankstown Rail Line, with Belmore Station at the western end of the site. Canterbury Road and Burwood Road also provide excellent vehicle access to the site.
KING G
The large parks nearby include: Parry Park, Rudd Park, Tasker Park and Wiley Park.
COOKS RIVER PARRY PARK BELMORE
There are some small parks in Belmore, but most are very small and can not perform the open space services that the Belmore Sports and Recreation Precinct should provide.

The northern edge of the precinct offers a key through-site shared path running in an east to west direction connecting Loch street and Belmore Station, this serves as a primary through site connection. The site currently lacks any strong north to south connectivity due to the adjoining back fence residential and railway easement found along the northern and southern boundaries.

Visual access from the southern edge of the site is similar to the northern edge, non existent in some parts. All key visual connections into the site are blocked or disjointed by built form, fencing and vegetation. With no key visual connections into the site the site has little to no relationship with the surrounding context, this creates a disjointed public space that does not promote public accessibility.
ET
RE
Current visual access into the site is very poor and non existent in some places. This is primarily due to adjoining built form alignments, railway infrastructure and excessive boundary and interior fencing. Visual access from the northern edge of the site is non existent due the elevated railway corridor. The corridor acts as a walled edge with physical entry found only at the underpass located in between Lilian Lane and Redman Parade. Visual access within the underpass entry is immediately blocked by the Belmore sportsground stadium as highlighted in the adjacent diagram.

Visual access from the southern approach of Sharp Street is blocked by the Belmore Bowling and Recreation Club. The building creates a strong visual barrier into the site from the southern entrance.
The northern entrance of Lilian Lane is visually disrupted by the northern boundary of the Belmore sportsground. Significant level change along with building alignment and back fences create an impervious visual approach into the site.
A confusing mixture of barbed wire chain link and wooden paling fencing establish a cluttered and non cohesive visual barrier from the southern entrance of Waverley street. The combination is in poor condition that deters from the surrounding visual street character.

Key security and safety issues found on site exist a result of poor visual access and passive surveillance, these issues have formed as a result of staged spatial development and built form alignments that create isolated and uncomfortable areas for site users. Currently both the northern and southern fringes of the site are heavily enclosed and isolated due to back fence boundaries and railway infrastructure, these areas are very narrow/tight and are in poor condition. These areas lack solar access and can feel uncomfortable during at day, night time activation through lighting is very poor and non existent in most parts, which in some cases has attracted criminal behaviour within the site.

Over time the precincts landscape has been significantly manipulated due to built form and infrastructure developments, from this several significant level changes occur on site. Key level changes occur along the railway corridor: up to 4m height difference than ground level.

Significant overland flow effects the northern edge of the site draining north through Redman Avenue into the freight line easement. 2014 saw a significant flood occur with a substantial part of the site being effected by flash flooding and water damage.
- Localised hydraulic improvements should be incorporated with downstream improvements to achieve overall significant results.

SITE ANALYSIS
FLOODING From the flooding analysis, hydraulic engineers, Jones Nicholson have the following recommendations for investigation in the masterplan. 1. Belmore Sports Ground (Southern Side) a. The proposed regrading Edison Lane (between Waverley & Tudor Sts) is a feasible option for the localised flooding, however it is recommended that the current levels are reduced rather than raised. Raising the levels/ grading will potentially effect neighbouring properties. b. Rerouting of the stormwater to avoid/by-pass BSG. This will require the diversion of the existing pipeline to divert flows to the system between BSG & Peter Moore Field. This will minimise the flood effects within BSG. 2. Belmore Sports Ground (Eastern Side) a. The recommendations outlined by Cardno in regards to Peter Moore Field North are feasible. Reducing the levels further (creating a localised basin) may improve the situation further, but this is dependant on the surrounding pipeline levels. b. Regrading of the footpath/connection between BSG and Peter Moore Field. This will encourage the flows to the north
3. Belmore Sports Ground (Western Side) a. Based on the information provided by the Cardno report, there are no options to improve flooding on this side of BSG. The outcomes from the flood modelling are also inconclusive given the Legend provided on the output plots. The area is shown as grey which is a difference of “-0.2m to 0.2m�, so the proposed options could either make the flooding better by 0.2m or worse by 0.2m. b. From my analyses, the only way improvements will be achieved within Terry Lamb Reserve is to improve the flood situation in Redman Parade and its surrounds. There may be some options to improve flooding for smaller events by creating little ponds and basins. 4. Belmore Sports Ground (Northern Side) a. Any improvements made in and around Redman Parade and Lark Street will have a benefit to the eastern, southern and western sides of BSG. To further determine what can be done, I would like to request any pipe information available for the connection between Lark Street down to the Cooks River. This will provide a better understanding of the capacity and potential for downstream improvements. b. There is the potential to create a basin around Lark Street in the current Sydney Trains land between rail lines. This basin could take the upstream flows and reduce the impact of flood on Terry Lamb Reserve as well as Peter Moore Field and BSG.

REDMAN PARADE UNDERPASS
LILIAN LANE
The underpass located along Redman Parade is the lowest point on-site at +19.5m. This is a significant constraint as it is the only direct northern connection found on site.
During extreme weather events the key pedestrian thoroughfare is inundated with flood water restricting pedestrian connectivity through the site.
In October 2014 extreme weather conditions saw the precinct inundated with flood waters, significant damage occurred within the Belmore Sportsground along with adjoining areas.

Along with creating an unsafe environment key entry points into the site are obstructed and unclear, this effects the overall identity of the park. Future development should investigate methods in addressing these issues in order to establish better connectivity and identity within the precinct.

Site edge conditions consist of weak and illegible thresholds due to adjoining property boundaries and dwelling orientation. The majority of the sites interface is directly connected to fine grain residential dwellings, these back fence barrier’s create an unwelcoming and unsafe environment for pedestrians that use the site.

ADJOINING REAR FENCES
Significant visual and spatial transitions are situated along the southern interface of the site. These areas create illegible or unsafe conditions for pedestrians.
Medium density apartment blocks create a strong barrier along the eastern boundary of Peter Moore Fields. Significant natural level change further separates the site from its surrounding context.
Rear fence edges envelop the open space along the southern edge of the site. These create unsafe pedestrian conditions along with restricting wider connectivity to the surrounding context.

The car park located at Edison Lane situated between the Bowling club and the stadium is of poor quality; dominated by asphalt and bordered by back fences. The car park is poorly visible from Leylands Parade which constrains vehicular access into the site and Belmore Sports Ground.

Aesthetically the landscape character is good within parts of Terry Lamb Reserve the landscape is well maintained and communicates visual and spatial integrity, however Belmore Sportsground and Peter Moore fields lack this visual and spatial quality due to the high manipulation of each landscape within these areas.
ET
RE
Vegetation found on site consists of a variety of indigenous and introduced tree species. The landscape character in parts resembles that of the Turpentine-Ironbark forest which would have once covered the undulating landscape.

Cotter Entrance contains a formal entrance structure along with a mature avenue of trees both combine to establish a strong aesthetic landscape character.
Terry Lamb Reserve contains a good cultural landscape character which is reflected in the landscape structure, recent upgrades are non cohesive and detract from areas of the landscape.
Due to significant land works Peter Moore Fields lacks any significant vegetation within the area is concentrated around the perimeter and consists of a variety of poor quality native and introduced species.

SUMMARY OF KEY SITE ISSUES Our analysis of the precinct identified the following key issues:
1.
ACCESS AND VISIBILITY
2.
FENCING AND SEPARATION OF SPACES
3.
FLOOD PRONE LAND
Views from local streets into the park are blocked. Pedestrian paths around the precinct are disconnected and poor quality.
The precinct is fenced off into four separate spaces, due to lease arrangements. This restricts the way people move through the park.
The precinct floods along Redman Parade and the railway line. This limits the use of Terry Lamb Reserve and the shared path along the rail line.
4. SAFETY
5.
6.
Pedestrian lanes are narrow. Poor visibility and low lighting make the precinct feel unsafe.
The precinct has large open green spaces. These could be given functions to support the parks use.
