1. Chemical spraying

Notification to residents
Wind conditions when chemical spraying
List of chemicals that have been sprayed

2. Litter on Reserve, corner of Jubilee Avenue and May Road; and

3. White ant nest corner of Jubilee Avenue and May Road.

A response was provided to Mr Piantadosi on 8 October 2007 regarding the above issues.

On Thursday 11 October, the Mayor, Cr Tina Klein, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Gary Evershed and the Director Operational Services, Mr Simon Stewert-Dawkins, met with Mr Piantadosi at Jubilee Reserve to inspect the reserve and to discuss the quantity of litter on the reserve and the maintenance issues associated with the reserve.

As a result of the meeting, a follow up letter dated the 12 October 2007 was provided to Mr Piantadosi advising that Asset Services would arrange for the litter to be collected and the outstanding maintenance items identified have been scheduled into the works program.

2.2 Questions from Members of the Public

Mrs Val Dreyer, 31 Naunton Crescent, Eden Hill

Mrs Dreyer expressed concern at what she believes is a dismal state of the garden in front of the War Memorial and asked whether there are any gardeners on staff at the Town of Bassendean.

The CEO confirmed that there are gardeners on staff and Mrs Dreyer’s concerns were taken on notice.

Mr Mark Devlin, 17/1 Iolanthe Street, Bassendean

As a follow up to a telephone call to the CEO, Mr Devlin asked what the issue was with regard to the fence either side of walkway of Iolanthe Street and Prospectus Lane?

The Manager Development advised that the fence did not comply with the provisions of the outline development plan and as a result, the developer, Australand has been asked to remove it, which has been done.

Mr Devlin further asked if anyone knew what bands are playing at Steel Blue Oval Bassendean and when the tickets will go on sale.

The CEO advised that it is a bit premature to speculate on this matter as Council has not make a final decision, however, in a preliminary sense, the Director Community Development advised that if Council approval is obtained, he believes the festival as a Sound Waves Festival is a National event and many of the bands participating throughout the concert circuit nationally will participate in WA. Whilst the headline act was going to be “Korn”, it is believed they will not be playing in WA. He further advised that the Sound Wave website may be of assistance in providing the names of some of these bands.

Mr Jack Fox, 14 Chesterton Road, Bassendean

Mr Fox made reference to the Regional Integrated Transport Strategy and asked what the Town’s submission is in relation to the Bassendean Railway Station car parking overflow problems.

The Director Operational Services advised that the Town has written to the Public Transport Authority on three separate occasions expressing concern at the car parking capacity and ongoing problems associated with that area.

Whilst the Integrated Transport Strategy has looked at Bassendean and Ashfield stations and opportunities for further development, it is required that they be identified for further opportunities and unfortunately they do not fall in the top 10 priorities at this stage.

Mr Fox asked if the Town will endeavour to get the car parking problems into the top 10 items in the study.

The Mayor advised that this will certainly happen if the opportunity presents itself.
