1:7500 Master Plan beeline 2

1:100 @A2 section - Kent St / Hayman Rd. roundabout.

Roundabout redesigned to be gateway to the Beelines.

Existing Phoenix canariensis removed. Eucalyptus / Corymbia avoided to discourage foraging by nearby cockatoos to minimise potential for bird vehicle strikes. Mulchless to provide habitat for burrowing bees. Lower plants on edges to preserve vehicle visibility. Groundwater -3-4m AHD.

Perspective 1: Kent St / Hayman Rd. roundabout. The round about is unlikely to be accessed by pedestrians. As such, the main humans to use it will be drivers and nearby pedestrians. A drivers perspective will be only seconds long as they maintain focus on the road.

Perspective: 34 Etwell Street Demonstration Garden

This corner block makes the ideal demonstration garden for Beeline 2. It is within 500m from Jirdarup and has room to plant larger bee attracting shrubs on the private open space. It has recently sold, so is likely to be redeveloped. https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-waeast+victoria+park-141658932.

1:200@A2 section - Kent St beeline 3

This cross section spans the City of South Perth and Town of Victoria Park LGAs. The latter has recently planted native shrubbery in a mulched area. Both sides of the road can be used for bee habitat. Groundwater -3-4m AHD.

1:100@A2 section - Kent St

As a DBCA sponsored Living Laboratory, this site can be used for educational and science purposes. Low height planting next to Kent Street.

Perspective

This site is between Kent St. and the DBCA offices. As an environmental agency it would make an ideal Living Lab. sponsor. The existing C. callophylla’s would be retained. A new aggregate path would connect the Kent St / Hayman Rd roundabout to DBCA. The boulder sit spot and interpretative signage are intentionally away from bee foraging and nesting flora.

1:250@A2 plan - Playfield Reserve dedicated Bee garden

This plan was originally drawn at 1:200 but the scale was adjusted to 1:250 to include the RSL hall as the memorial wall became relevant to the overall design. This present-day grassed area has an established bush edge. Established trees are on site. The grass is not used for sport and could successfully be repurposed into a bee friendly native garden. The Reserve is only 1Ha in size (including the RSL building). The site is 350m from Hillview Community Bushland.

1:200 section - Playfield Reserve dedicated Bee garden

Groundwater is -13-14m AHD. The lawn is not used for organised sport. A 9m E. marginata is located at the front of the RSL. Established Corymbias, Casuarinas, Eucalyptus’, Melaleuca’s fringe the grassed area. These all provide nesting opportunities for the cavity bees.

Perspective - Playfield Reserve dedicated Bee garden Playfield Reserve is located adjacent to the RSL Hall. A beautiful, sculptural memorial wall exists. The proposed design replicates this shape to provide connection to the RSL. Out of respect, approval to replicate this design would be required from the RSL and the original designer/artist. Its exterior would include a bee themed mural, while a curved seated area on the interior is proposed to observe the bee garden.
