Kinlock Infill Development

Thanks to everyone who attended the community workshop on 3rd December 2019 at Lynwood Christian Church. Over 70 local residents attended, and Yolk Property Group, together with the project team, would like to thank everyone that participated and provided their feedback.

The following information provides a summary of key aspects raised by participants, and it is acknowledged that not all items discussed on the night may be listed. We confirm that all information raised by the Community at the workshop, will be considered in the preparation of a plan for the site and progressing the development.

Community valuesTo inform our planning and design process we asked what you valued about living in Ferndale. The most frequently mentioned responses included:» The people (everyone knows their neighbours, good community feel, the population is diverse).» The location (close to attractions and amenities such as the river and Carousel

shopping centre, peaceful).» The natural environment (greenspace, trees, shade and birdlife).

Next StepsThe project team will now consider this feedback as they work through the planning and design process

In early 2020, the project team will hold a Community Information Session to present the subdivision plan to the community prior to it being lodged with Council. This will outline how the community’s feedback has influenced the project’s final planning and design.

Subject to the necessary approvals being obtained, construction on the project is expected to begin in mid to late 2020.

More informationTo get more information and to stay updated, visit www.yolkpropertygroup.com.au/kinlock. Project updates will continue to be posted on this site, including updated FAQ’s and the presentation from the community workshop.

If you were unable to attend the workshop or would like to continue to have your say, please complete the online survey via the website before 31 December 2019, and encourage other Ferndale residents to do the same.

We also asked how people currently use the site and what was important to consider in the design process. People currently use the site as an access way or for dog walking. However, several other opportunities were identified that may be explored in the development of a plan for the site:

Green valuesThe most popular ideas for public open space included: » a children’s playground;» community garden;» BBQ area with seating and shade;» basketball half court;» land under the powerlines to be greened and used for dog exercise; and» significant trees were also identified.

Social and cultural recognitionIdeas to recognise the previous use of the site as Kinlock Primary School included:» recreating the mural from the primary school;» naming streets after the school factions;» the estate could be named “Kinlock” after the school; and» incorporating the school emblem of the black swan.

Access and connection » retaining pedestrian access through the site was highly valued; and» consideration of traffic entry and exit points and the impact on surrounding residents was

also highlighted.

expectancy• Grouping of trees • Location – engineering, drainage,

powerlines, roads, underground power • Maintenance requirements – watering,

pruning, leaf drop, damage to paving• Within the City of Canning Draft Street

• Fauna spotter during clearing

• Tree removal – timing outside of breeding season for birds

• Protection of trees during construction in line with the AS 4970 Protection of Trees on Development Sites 2009

Q&As

Group activity
