EVENTS CALENDAR | GREENING VIC PARK | 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS | GREEN WASTE COLLECTION

M AYO R ’ S M E S S AG E YEARS of loving Vic Park

This issue of VIBE is a bumper one, containing everything that’s happening in the second half of spring and all through summer. It’s also the final issue that I have the pleasure of writing the Mayor’s message, telling you about all the wonderful things happening around the Town.

Now that the warmer months are upon us, it’s event season again. In the centre spread of this issue is our major events calendar, which I encourage you to pull out and keep. With the annual Summer Street Party, our 25th anniversary celebrations (see page 10) and lots of smaller, specialised events, there are plenty of opportunities to join us – whether you’re celebrating, networking or learning something new.

One of the core duties of a local government is to manage everything the community disposes of, and our 2020 waste and recycling guide is due to hit your letterboxes before the end of the year. Read up more about this on page 15.

Finally, I thank the many colleagues I have shared HIS WORSHIP THE MAYOR TREVOR VAUGHAN the Council chambers with over the years and the many dedicated Town staff and wonderful community members who have played a role in supporting me and the Town’s development.

It has been an honour serving as your Mayor for the last 12 years, and I wish my successor good luck – I know you will embrace our new Mayor as warmly as you did me.

Artist in Residence Joanne Bowman, intern Sarah Ewen and Board Chairperspn Stephanie Reisch at VPCA.

WHO’S IN YOUR TOWN

Creativity and community combine in Vic Park The Victoria Park Centre for the Arts (VPCA) has been the creative heart of the Town for 25 years, and is excited to be marking this anniversary in December while embarking on a new direction.

“All the programing for 2020 is aimed at increasing our profile and offerings, with a diverse range of exhibitions, workshops and events that we hope will attract a wider audience.

The hardworking team of staff, board and volunteers has focused on raising the profile of their Kent Street Gallery located within the arts centre to make it more accessible and appealing to the community.

“We’re finding a balance between emerging artists, established artists, as well as community groups and service organisations – we want to keep it community-minded as part of our culture, but still push the boundaries a little,” Ms Reisch said.

“We want it to be a really inclusive and inviting space that showcases the diversity of local talent.

In developing a host of support activities and events, such as workshops and regular artist talks, we aim to further enrich the Kent Street Gallery exhibitions program,” Board Chairperson Stephanie Reisch said.

The love for the community is evident seeing staff and volunteers in action, and the passion with which Ms Reisch speaks about their love of Vic Park.

The gallery’s Artist in Residence program is a fledgling initiative, with a number of artists having already completed an eight-week residency this year. Their current Artist in Residence is sculptor Joanne Bowman.

“We’re hoping this is going to encourage more members of the community to come and engage with the artists, and improve visibility and networking opportunities for our artist members.

“We also want to reach out to tertiary institutions and invite them to support the programs within the gallery exhibitions program,” Ms Reisch said.

The VPCA is looking to appeal to more of the Vic Park community through their upcoming exhibitions and events.

“We rely so much on our volunteers, many of whom have been with us a long time now, some 20 years or more. The fact we are able to celebrate our 25th anniversary is a credit to our dedicated staff and volunteers, as well as the ongoing support we’ve had from the Town of Victoria Park,” she said.

The VPCA’s 25th anniversary celebrations on Sunday 8 December include their Annual General Meeting, followed by Christmas markets and a band performance, all of which the community is invited to be a part of.

G RE E N I N G VI C PARK

Growth Series Greening Vic Park Making the Town a greener and a more liveable place is a combined Town and community effort.

We’ve recently developed a variety of different programs, working closely with the community and collaborating at every possible opportunity.

Greening Vic Park starts with strategy, design and carefully considered policies. It ends with plants in the ground, sometimes through upgrades to parks and planned streetscape improvements such as G.O. Edwards Park and John Macmillan Park upgrades.

Our community has also taken action, having been the driving force in establishing the planter boxes on Albany Highway and Archer Street, and planning a community planting day at Carlisle Reserve.

This diverse but considered approach to greening is a major focus of the Town. The benefits of greening have been well documented in past Growth Series articles but, as these pages demonstrate, the scope of the effort extends to many parts of the Town and the community.

As our Town continues to evolve and mature the focus on greening will continue to become more sophisticated – all with the aim of improving the place we live, work and play.

Planter box scheme Earlier this year we launched our first series of planter boxes along Albany Highway and Archer Street to celebrate our wonderful businesses in these areas and to add a sense of excitement.

The initiative started out as an idea from the West End Business and Community Association Inc., a group who originated from a collective of local business owners and residents. The group’s vision is to increase business patronage and brand the west end of Albany Highway in Victoria Park as a destination.

While the initial goal was to generate interest in promoting and upgrading Albany Highway between Duncan Street and the Causeway, the idea quickly extended to Archer Street and has now become a program the Town is offering to local businesses.

Our progress in 2019

Recently we asked what you would love to see in our public open spaces.

During the year, new trees and plants were planted as part of the Town’s operations projects and Urban Forest Strategy.

Thanks to your feedback we have created a strategy that will help us plan the future of these community places.

We want to make sure we’ve got it right.

TREES: 1,883 PLANTS: 92,126 TOTAL: 94,009

Please give your feedback at yourthoughts.vicpark.wa.gov.au Feedback opens 23 October and closes at 4pm Wednesday 20 November.

Adopt-a-verge

Tree Planting and Retention Policy

If you would like to landscape your verge using water-wise practices, and apply for $500 to go towards the cost, visit vicpark.info/adoptaverge

We’re working our way towards 20 per cent tree canopy coverage.

So far in 2019 the Town has received 24 adopt-a-verge applications, with nine already having received the $500 rebate.

To help us get there we’re working on a policy that integrates the planting of trees in new developments and encourages land owners to retain existing mature trees.

We want to make sure we make the right policy for our Town so we’re asking for your input on things like: • when the policy should apply • the number and size of trees to be planted for new development • proposed measures to encourage tree retention.

Consultation is open until 11 November.

Vic Park makes the move to go plastic-free The Town of Victoria Park has banned singleuse plastics and polystyrene at Council buildings, Council-run events, and all market stalls held on Council land to lead a plasticfree Vic Park movement.

In response to a Council resolution in February, a Single-Use Plastic and Polystyrene Policy and associated Project Plan received Council endorsement in August.

There is a three-month grace period to phase out the use of products, with the ban coming into effect on 31 December 2019.

The Town will support businesses and residents that wish to make changes with education materials that suggest alternative products that can be used.

The ban does not apply to events within the Town that are not Council-run, traders that do not require a permit from the Town under a Local Law, and activities operating under current lease agreements from the Town.

More information can be found at victoriapark.wa.gov.au/plasticfree
