Cultural Plan 2014 to 2016 City of Gosnells

Making the City of Gosnells a Great Place!

OCM 26 NOVEMBER 2013 APPENDIX 13.2.1B

GLOSSARY Art is works designed and created from many different materials and forms, which may include

(but not limited to): paintings, sculpture, mosaic, stained glass, textiles, ceramics, photography,

prints and mixed media.

Community Art is artistic works involving the active participation of community members in its

design or creation and often facilitated by an artist/s or community arts worker.

Community Engagement is an intense form of public participation, where citizens are actively

involved in joint decision-making and planning process. It is a two-way flow of information and

ideas where decision-makers and community members work together to mutually formulate

policies, plans and actions.

Consultation includes workshops, forums, surveys and conversations with community

members regarding their cultural needs, values and visions.

Culture can be anything that contributes to a community's quality of life, sense of place or

local identity.

Cultural Development can be an exchange of skills between artist and community,

development of work by an artist which deals with the issues or concerns of a community,

active participation of a community in artistic practice or social change through collaborative

arts and cultural development activity.

Cultural Planning is the process of working with a community to create a strategic plan for its

future Cultural Development.

Place-making is creating a sense of place by making changes to the natural or built

environment.

Public Art is artistic works designed or created by an artist/s and situated in an accessible

place for the public.

INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE "Culture in its widest sense defines what matters to people and communities. It is a way of

connecting the present, past and future into a recognisable identity." Department of Local Government NSW, Cultural Planning Guidelines

In 2007 the Council adopted its first Cultural Plan for the City. The Cultural Plan was a result of

extensive consultation and research to identify cultural aspects that the community values and

identifies as unique to the local area. The Cultural Plan was the foundation for ongoing

preservation and development of the City's unique culture and was ultimately a success,

guiding and promoting arts and cultural development in the City through various actions such

as community events, programs, public art and cultural policy implementation.

In 2012 the City began the process of engaging and consulting with the community on how it

now defines culture since the first Cultural Plan. The second Cultural Plan assumes a holistic

view of culture that includes values and cultural identity; the results of creative processes such

as visual and performing arts; and opportunities for participation in cultural processes. It

includes traditional concepts of the 'arts' such as: literature, visual arts, drama, dance and

music, as well as heritage, traditions, values, cultural spaces, expression and identity.

It should be noted that 'sporting culture', 'community safety' and 'historical heritage

management' within the City of Gosnells are excluded from this Cultural Plan, as these

aspects of the City's culture are addressed elsewhere within the City's Leisure Strategy,

Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan and History & Heritage Strategy.

The development of a second Cultural Plan will enable a strategic and coordinated approach

to the City’s cultural development and facilitate involvement of the community in this process.

The Cultural Plan is based on four principles, namely:

1. To align the City's cultural assets, resources and services with its overall direction and

priorities.

2. To capture and reflect the history, tradition and diversity of the local community.

3. To develop and support the arts and cultural practitioners and industries in the community.

4. To provide a cultural framework that will support and encourage culture in the City.

The development of a Cultural Plan for the City of Gosnells assists to fulfil the City's 10 Year

Community Plan - Objective 3.2, which states:

"The community is able to enjoy active and passive recreational and leisure opportunities as

well as cultural and artistic pursuits because of the City's provision of suitable facilities and

activities."


HOW THIS CULTURAL PLAN WAS DEVELOPED A number of key tasks were undertaken to assist with the development of this Cultural Plan to

ensure as many aspects of local culture were addressed. These key tasks included:

• Cultural audit - was undertaken reviewing the cultural resources available through the City,

local businesses and arts/cultural organisations in order to map the City’s cultural profile

and determine possible gaps in cultural services and provisions.

• Community consultation - was completed to gauge how City of Gosnells residents feel

about their culture and how they would build on this cultural capital.

• Cultural workshops - on 19 February 2013 a workshop was facilitated with Councillors to

discuss the development of a new Cultural Plan for the City. On 25 March 2013 the City

also facilitated a Cultural Plan workshop with the newly-established Performing Arts

Advisory Group. On 6 August 2013 the City facilitated a second workshop with Councillors

to invite feedback on the draft Cultural Plan.

• Cultural analysis - of arts and cultural participation trends, arts & cultural policy (national,

state & local) and cultural service delivery by other local governments.

The above processes led to the development of a list of objectives and actions that capture

and reflect the history, tradition, diversity and unique identity of the City, and are based on the

priorities/recommendations from residents, arts and culture volunteers and workers, City staff

and Councillors.

WHY PLAN CULTURE?

Cultural planning is a strategic process which highlights the values of culture in a community in

a way which informs a City’s thinking, policies and programs.

In 2012 the Community Arts Network of Western Australia compiled a publication entitled

'Growing Communities, Arts & Culture in Local Government'. The publication is a celebration

of the work currently taking place in arts and cultural development in West Australian local

governments. Jon Hawkes, one of Australia's leading commentators on cultural policy said

there's plenty of evidence to demonstrate that arts and culture can be useful in governance for

the following reasons:


• The insights and experience participants gain through arts and culture make it easier for

them to become better and more effective citizens.

• Utilizing arts and culture in programs, such as: community education, community

building, health promotion and cross-cultural understanding will enhance organisational

responsiveness, delivery and flexibility.

• Embedding arts and culture in the everyday processes of governance has the capacity to

improve community engagement, communications, decision-making, policy development,

expression of goals and evaluation.

In 2013 the Australian Bureau of Statistics commissioned The Smith Family to undertake a

research project entitled ‘Sport, Culture and the Internet: Are Australian children participating?’

This study found that participating in cultural activities can challenge children’s perceptions

about their world and themselves and enhance their belief in what they can achieve. Cultural

venues such as museums, art galleries and libraries are places of exploration and discovery.

They offer opportunities for informal and self-directed learning in a range of areas, including

maths, science, art, music, history and social science (Henderson and Atencio, 2007).

Culture is the interaction with other people as well as the engagement with and participation in

intellectual and artistic production, that exposes us to new information and ideas which enable

the cultural values to be challenged and reconsidered, leading to personal growth, lifelong

learning and cultural change. Cultural planning is a catalyst for social, environmental and

economic development. It is about building vital, safer and prosperous communities. This is

why planning culture is important.

CULTURAL AUDIT (IN SUMMARY) CULTURAL POPULATION STATISTICS The population of the City at the 2011 national census was 106,585. Over the three-year

lifespan of this Cultural Plan, the City's population is expected to grow to 120,584 people,

which equates to an increase of 13.1%.

During this period, the top five most populous age groups are expected to be:

1. 30-34 year olds with 9,143 persons (7.5%)






The majority of City of Gosnells residents are Australian born (62%). Of these residents, 2,407

people identify as being Indigenous and 38% of residents have migrated from more than 34

different countries, including: United Kingdom (9.8%), New Zealand (3.4%), India (3%),

Malaysia (2.6%), South Africa (1.6%), and China (1.5%).

21.6% of the City's population come from non-English speaking backgrounds.

CULTURAL INDUSTRY WORKERS & ARTISTS: According to the 'Australian Bureau of

Statistics, Census of Population and Housing 2011' there are 167 City of Gosnells residents

working in the Arts and Recreation Industry. In 2013 the City of Gosnells received 86 local

resident entries for the Community Art Exhibition and Awards.

FACILITIES The City of Gosnells manages various cultural facilities on behalf of the local community for

community use. The following is a list of facilities the City of Gosnells currently manages,

which are available to the community for arts and cultural purposes.

Amherst Village Community Centre: Amherst Village Community Centre has a state of the

art digital sound recording studio and is managed by the City's Youth Services. The studio is

available for use by schools, community organisations, young people and individuals. The

centre also includes an art nook that facilitates artwork displays.

Centennial Pioneer Park: Scenic parkland that is located in the Gosnells town centre

adjacent to the Canning River. In 1988 this park was redeveloped as part of a Bicentennial

project and then further redeveloped as part of the Gosnells town centre revitalisation project.

A mixed orchard surrounding the park reflects the importance of agriculture to the early

settlers. It also offers an amphitheatre, a playground, tree top walk and several significant

pieces of public art.

Don Russell Performing Arts Centre: This multi-purpose facility provides a unique and

affordable theatre and studio for local performing arts groups, community cultural groups and

professional performing arts companies to perform and rehearse. Each year the Centre hosts

weekly performing arts classes and has more than 90 performances and events that attract

approximately 14,000 patrons annually.

Liddelow Homestead: The Historical Homestead built in 1850 consisted of 7 rooms. In 1982

the building was restored and reopened as the home to an arts and crafts club. The

Homestead is managed by the Liddelow Homestead Arts & Crafts Club Inc which still operates

today and offers classes in Spinning, Quilt Making, Pottery, Mosaics, Patchwork & Painting,

Woodturning as well as Children's classes in Art & Pottery.

Libraries: The City provides library services to enhance the community's well-being socially,

economically, intellectually and creatively, and to keep them informed and in touch with the

world they live in. The City's four public libraries are located in Gosnells, Thornlie, Kenwick and

Southern River.

Orange Room: The Orange Room is an exhibition space dedicated to the City's history and

heritage. It is located in the Gosnells Knowledge Centre.

Skate Parks: The City has four skate parks located in Thornlie, Maddington, Gosnells and

Beckenham. The skate parks offer a variety of different obstacles and ramps. The City's Youth


Services facilitates community skating programs from these facilities. The skate parks are

considered cultural facilities as they also provide a venue for urban art projects.

Wilkinson Homestead Museum: Located on the beautiful banks of the Canning River, the

museum collection is housed in the State Heritage listed Wilkinson Homestead on Homestead

Road in Gosnells. The site has an interesting history that includes early European settlement,

Aboriginal heritage, and the district's agricultural development. The museum also runs

educational programs for school groups.

COLLECTIONS

The City holds significant collections of heritage and art as a way of recording the City’s

cultural history. These collections are available for public viewing in the Wilkinson Homestead

Museum, Knowledge Centre, Civic Centre and Don Russell Performing Arts Centre.

Art Collection: The City of Gosnells Art Collection includes 148 pieces of artwork in a range

of mediums. The City has an ongoing commitment to develop a cohesive and important West

Australian Collection. Currently, most of the artworks can be viewed on display inside the

Civic Centre and on City information brochures.

Community/Public Art Murals: The City of Gosnells has long supported community and

public art murals projects as a way of celebrating the City’s local culture and deterring

damaging graffiti. These murals can be seen throughout the City in various locations including

Leisure World, Thornlie Community Centre, Centennial Pioneer Park and the Gosnells Town

Centre.

Heritage Inventory: The Heritage Inventory is the City’s record of places considered to have

significance in the history of the City. This Inventory is not just about old houses; it records all

sorts of places that have been significant in the history of the local community from commercial

buildings, churches and bridges to monuments, parks and even trees. The places are

significant because of their architecture and social history.

Local History Collection: Records about the City of Gosnells dating back to the 1800s are

available for research at the Local History Collection, which is housed in the Knowledge

Centre. The contents of this collection are primarily associated with the area now covered by

the Gosnells municipality, and the people who have lived here. The collection is also available

online through the City of Gosnells website.

Public Art Walk: In 2008, the City developed an Art Walk brochure, guiding tourists and

residents through the public artworks in the Gosnells Town Centre. The public artworks range


from large eye catching structures, such as the iconic water carrier, to the smaller bronzed

creatures peeping through footpaths.

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

The natural environment is part of the City’s local culture. In the past the City has played a

pivotal role in developing and improving accessibility to the City’s natural areas to allow the

community to enjoy these places of cultural significance.

Brixton Street Wetlands: A place of major environmental significance for Perth, the Wetlands

contains over 320 plant species, comprising some 20% of the flora species of the Perth area.

Since November 2000 these wetlands have been on the Register of the National Estate of the

Australian Heritage Commission. Located on a very flat waterlogged Pinjarra Plain that lies at

the base of the Darling Range, the wetlands are habitat for the Quenda (Southern Brown

Bandicoot), waterbirds and many native terrestrial and aquatic animals.

Ellis Brook Valley Reserve: Ellis Brook Valley is part of the Banyowla Regional Park. The

name Banyowla recognises Banyowla, a Nyoongar elder at the time of colonial settlement.

Ellis Brook Valley is renowned for the richness of its flora and fauna. There are four walk trails

of varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from the 'Easy Walk Trail', which provides wheelchair

access to the bushland, to the more difficult 'Sixty Foot Falls Circuit', which takes in sweeping

views across Perth from the top of the waterfall. Ellis Brook Valley is a rich breeding site and

home for many native and visiting birds, including cockatoos, parrots, pardalotes, splendid

and wedge-tailed eagles. It is also home to kangaroos, possums, bats and other native wildlife.

Heritage Trails: A walk trail and a drive trail outlining some of the significant heritage places

in Maddington and Kenwick, including Liddelow Homestead, Kenwick Pioneer Cemetery, the

site of Canning River Conflicts and the Wilkinson Homestead Museum.

Mary Carroll Lake: Mary Carroll Lake was named in 1971 in honour of Mrs Mary Carroll, a

well-known teacher at the nearby Gosnells Primary School. Mary Carroll Lake is a major

breeding wetland. It supports large numbers of water birds, songbirds, reptiles, turtles and a

reservoir of wetland flora. Mary Carroll Lake is a ‘Bush Forever’ Site and is internationally

recognised.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

Over recent years, the City of Gosnells has conducted community consultations with residents,

art groups, cultural groups, local business owners, City staff and agencies. These

consultations were aimed at gauging how locals feel and experience their community and what


they would change about it. Underpinning many of the community comments was a strong

desire for community events and cultural facilities, as well as a concern for personal safety and

an urgent need to revitalise the City’s town centre.

There was also a strong sense of community pride and a concern for the City’s natural

environment. Inspired by these responses, the City has developed this Cultural Plan to

address the cultural needs of the community. The intention of this Cultural Plan is to provide

strategic direction on the provision of arts and cultural priorities within the City and to provide

opportunities and remove obstacles to the community's cultural expression, creativity and

sense of place.

1. Events and Festivals

In the City's Leisure Strategy Survey, 2010, 74% of respondents said they wanted 'Celebratory

Events' and 54% said they wanted more 'Cultural Events'. Residents were also asked to

identify any events they would like to see happen in Gosnells. The top responses included: art

exhibitions, fireworks, craft shows, outdoor movies, carols by candlelight and fun runs. The

following is a snapshot of responses received at the 2012 Community Event consultations

reflecting the community’s desire for events and festivals:

• "I love the community events that are run throughout the year"

• "We really like being able to express the City’s culture by playing music in Gozzy Rock"

• "I love all the community family events held by the City of Gosnells. They are free and

have a great atmosphere"

• "This is a fabulously multicultural area; I love when we celebrate this"

• "My impressions are of a very peaceful and homely atmosphere. What I love is all the

different nationalities"

• "More community activities to reduce hostility in Gosnells. Get pride back to Gosnells"

2. Arts and Cultural Facilities

The 2010 Leisure Strategy survey indicated that 3% of residents participated in Painting/

drawing/ crafts but 19% would like to try it, 2% participated in live music however 13% would

like to try it and 2% participated in theatre, whilst 8% would like to try it. This consultation

showed for every person currently involved in Arts & Cultural activities, another seven people

are interested in participating. The following is a snapshot of responses received at the 2012

Community Event consultations which reflect the community desire for arts and cultural

facilities and spaces:


• "We need more sculptures and art to celebrate who we are. There is a sense of

community but little to celebrate this"

• "Have a cultural centre, you can display art work and put on shows, find out about places

to see and get tea & coffee"

• "Need a cappuccino strip or similar light entertainment/dining area"

• "It would awesome as part of your Cultural planning for the future to include a cultural

centre that could be used to teach language, dance, educate and train people"

• "There is a lovely area beside Pioneer Park which would be ideal for a speaker's forum.

Where you could listen to poetry, politics or anything"

3. Revitalise the Gosnells Town Centre In January 2011 City of Gosnells developed an action plan entitled 'Re-activating Gosnells

Town Centre', realised through extensive community consultations with residents and business

owners regarding their aspirations for the Gosnells community. The result was a vision of

Gosnells as a place that is bustling, energetic and thriving, whilst grounded in its natural

beauty and tranquil setting that is uniquely Gosnells. Six actions were detailed in the report

including ideas for a growers market, the revival and beautification of Lissiman Street and the

programming of events and programs in the town centre. The following is a snapshot of

responses received at the 2012 Community Event consultations which also reflect the

community’s desire to revive the Gosnells town centre:

• "There's a lovely park here in Gosnells, running along the river, with big shady trees and

even a tree walk. But Lissiman Street by the shopping centre is really rather depressing

in appearance - empty spaces and in need of a face-lift. Perhaps some bright shops and

landscaping would help"

• "Need to get more businesses occupying vacant buildings"

• "Lissiman St is an absolute disgrace with empty shops in poor condition"

• "The river frontage and Pioneer Park along with the tree top walkway are fantastic. Public

trains excellent, railway markets and heritage Gosnells hotel wonderful public library

overlooking ampithitheatre eye catching. An improvement on old boarded up shops

opposite railway station needed"

• "I love the public spaces and parks with BBQ's. I would like more cafes and a public,

pedestrianised shopping area"

• "I love the well kept open spaces but would like to see more art e.g. sculptures and

murals around near walking tracks"


CULTURAL PLAN GOALS

In order to ensure its relevance and compatibility with the City's 10 Year Community Plan,

each objective within this Cultural Plan is aimed to contribute towards the achievement of the

following vision for the City, as identified in the Community Plan:

"The City’s vision for 2021 is to be a vibrant City with a strong community identity; a great place to live, work, raise children, visit and invest; a place that encourages a range of lifestyles and opportunities; and where the natural environment, cultural diversity and heritage of the City is respected and protected for the enjoyment of current and future generations". The City’s role in achieving this vision is to provide leadership by integrating planning and

service delivery and by developing sustainable partnerships with the community, local

business, government and non-government agencies and the broader corporate sector.

This Cultural Plan reflects collaboration between the City and the above stakeholders to

promote and facilitate appropriate, accessible arts and cultural initiatives that will enhance life

in the City of Gosnells.

The City has identified seven strategy areas for the provision of cultural opportunities to local

residents, namely:

1. Community

2. Natural Environment

3. Heritage

4. Built Environment

5. Partnerships

6. Economic Development

7. Planning


Within these strategy areas are goals and actions which have been identified to achieve these

strategy areas. Any financial requirements for implementing the Cultural Plan will generally be

required through the annual operating budget, with external funding to be pursued. For each

action, the City of Gosnells involvement and its potential involvement will be identified. The

following categories are used:

• Partner - The City will partner with organisations that share a similar goal allowing for a

pooling of resources. These partnerships will be on an informal or formal service

agreement as required.

• Provider - The City manages one of its own facilities or is solely responsible for the

delivery of a service. Income and expenditure is determined by the City's annual budget

process.

• Planner - The City identifies community requirements for services and infrastructure and

ensures mechanisms are in place to meet these requirements.

• Supporter - The City provides support for community organisations and clubs. This

support is delivered through a number of methods including the use of community owned

facilities, the provision of sponsorship funds and providing easy access to information

resources.

• Coordinator - The City brings together stakeholders to plan and develop the joint

provision of services and infrastructure.
