Naming of Regional Football Facility Reserve and Pavilion in Tarneit

Wyndham City Council is proposing to name the new Regional Football Facility (interim name) Reserve and Pavilion located at the Wyndham Stadium Precinct, Tarneit.

The Regional Football Facility Reserve will feature state-of-the-art training facilities including three pitches, a two-storey pavilion and capacity for 5,000 spectators. It will be the training base for A-league’s Western United Football Club as well as supporting multipurpose community sport needs for rectangle sports including Rugby Union and League regional events. 

The reserve and pavilion are considered significant infrastructure in Wyndham and require official names that uniquely identify the site at the national level and create a sense of value to the sporting and wider community.

As the responsible naming authority, Council is required to formally name the reserve and pavilion in accordance with its Geographic Naming Policy 2023 and the Naming Rules for Places in Victoria 2022 (naming rules).

Proposed Reserve and Pavilion names

The proposed names for the Reserve and Pavilion are Ironbark Fields and Ironbark Pavilion.

The Ironbark is a distinctive native Australian tree native to Victoria, including this locality.

Ironbark trees are well woven into Australia's folklore. They feature in poetry and essays from colonial times to the present. 

A common name of a number of species in three Eucalyptus groups, Ironbark trees have dark, deeply furrowed bark and green eucalyptus leaves. They are probably the most distinctive and easily recognised tree of the Australia eucalypt forest and are the source of our highest quality hardwood.

The Ironbark is a tough and resilient species that adapts to its environment.  As the site will provide the opportunity for sports and its participants to grow and thrive, the name Ironbark is symbolic of this native tree and use of the site. 

“Fields" is associated with high order sporting facilities which function at a District or Regional Level.

Naming of Regional Football Facility Reserve and Pavilion in Tarneit

This naming proposal meets the following requirements of the State Government's Naming Rules for Places in Victoria 2022.

  • Principle 2(A) - Ensuring public safety
  • Principle 2(B) - Recognising Public Interest
  • Principle 2(C) - Linking the name to a place

The Naming Rules require a statutory 30-day public notification period of the proposed name.

Public notice of the proposed naming of this reserve and pavilion is given inviting feedback, and owners of properties that abut this site will be directly advised of the proposal in writing and be given the opportunity to provide comment.

Re-naming of Lucky Walk to Lyra Lane, Truganina

Wyndham City Council is proposing to re-name the road currently known as Lucky Walk, Truganina to Lyra Lane, Truganina.

The road to be renamed is shown on the plan below.

Re-naming of Lucky Walk to Lyra Lane, Truganina

The owner of the only property addressed to this road is currently in the process of constructing seven community care accommodation units onthe site which have been designed for residents with NDIS funding who require high physical support. They believethe name “LuckyWalk” is inappropriate given the particular circumstances of this type of accommodation and haverequested that Council agree to re-naming the road.

Under section 2, Principle F of the Naming Rules for Places in Victoria 2022 (the naming rules), names must not discriminate or cause offence. Further advise was sought from Geographic Names Victoria (GNV) who advised they are supportive of re-naming this road.

Meaning of the name "Lyra"

Lyra is a small constellation in the northern sky and continues the solar system theme of the abuttingsubdivision.

Lyra is a feminine name of Greek and Latin origin. The name "Lyra" is associated with music, creativity,and inspiration. It symbolises the beauty of life and is a reminder to always strive to create and appreciatethe good things in life.

In this instance the current road type "Walk" is a pedestrian only road type which makes the current road type non-compliant. 
 

In consulting with the naming rules the use of the road type "Lane" is an appropriate fit for this road.

This naming proposal meets the following requirements of the State Government's Naming Rules for Places in Victoria 2022.

  • Principle 2(A) - Ensuring public safety
  • Principle 2 (C) - Linking the name to a place
  • Principle 2 (G) - Gender equality

The Naming Rules require a statutory 30-day public notification period of the proposed name.

Public notice of the proposed re-naming of this road is given inviting feedback, and owners of properties that abut this unnamed road will also be directly advised of the proposal in writing and given the opportunity to provide comment.

Fire Danger Period (FDP) commences at 1am on Monday, 20 November 2023

Fire Danger Period (FDP) will commence at 1am on Monday, 20th November 2023

Fire Danger Period (FDP) will commence at 1am on Monday, 20th November 2023 in the following municipalities:

•    Melton City Council
•    Wyndham City Council
•    Hume City Council

What does Fire Danger Period mean? Country Fire Authority (CFA) put in place restrictions of the use of fire within the community, this helps to prevent fires from starting. The restrictions will remain in place until the fire danger lessens, which could be as late as May.

The Fire Danger Period is NOT the same thing as a Total Fire Ban.

Find out what you can and can't do: www.cfa.vic.gov.au/can

Fire Danger Period commences 20 November 2023 – Vacant Land Owners Responsibility

We’ve entered the seasonal ‘Fire Danger Period’ that runs from spring to autumn in Melbourne, starting 20 November 2023.

The Fire Danger Period is set by the Country Fire Authority (CFA), this includes administering fines under the Country Fire Authority Act 1958 and Fire Rescue Victoria Act 1958.

We’re asking the community to clear dumped rubbish from vacant land and keep their grass cut. Grass grows rapidly during this time and when dried out during extreme weather becomes a source of fuel for grass fires.

A simple way to manage the risk of a fire catching and spreading to neighbouring properties is for landowners and residents to keep their properties tidy.

From 20 November and throughout the summer period landowners and residents must:

  • Not allow grass or weeds on the property to be over 15 centimetres in height.
  • Not allow any rubbish, litter, or other waste material to remain on the land.

Throughout the Fire Danger Period inspections will be undertaken to make sure landowners and residents are keeping their grass cut and properties tidy as listed above.

A Fire Prevention Notice will be issued under the Country Fire Authority Act 1958 (Vic) (‘the Act’) or Fire Rescue Victoria Act 1958 (Vic) to owners who have not maintained the land as listed above. 

If a Fire Prevention Notice isn’t complied with, a fine may be issued, the minimum fine is $1,923.00 (10 penalty Units) and the maximum court-imposed sentence is 12 months imprisonment. 

It is important you maintain the grass on your property and keep it free from dumped rubbish and waste throughout the year.  Outside of the Fire Danger Period, vacant landowners must keep their land maintained as prescribed in the Wyndham Community Amenity Local Law.

Vegetation Management Near Overhead Powerlines

Wyndham City Council has contracted Citywide Service Solutions Pty Ltd to Manage its Vegetation Electrical Line Clearance Program.

As part of this program, the street trees and power-lines are inspected regularly to ensure no impact to power supply through conflict with trees.

All vegetation maintenance work is required to be carried out in compliance with the Electrical Safety Act (Electric Line Clearance) 2020 Regulations.

These regulations stipulate a minimum safe clearance between trees and power-lines, to keep re-growth clear of power lines.

Wyndham City Council is responsible for management of power line clearance in the area highlighted in the map below.

The tree works in this area will be carried out over the next four months. Regular auditing occurs throughout the year.

All works will be conducted in accordance with the Wyndham City Council Tree Policy 2019.

If you have any inquiries regarding the above please contact Ron Mifsud - Area Leader Arboriculture, Wyndham City Council on 1300 023 411.

Annual Community Satisfaction Survey 2023-2024

Wyndham City has engaged Metropolis Research to conduct its Annual Community Satisfaction Survey from 1 November 2023 until Sunday 4 February 2024. This will be a door-to-door survey conducted in person.

All local governments in Victoria are required to conduct an Annual Community Satisfaction Survey to help understand community needs and to measure satisfaction with a range of Council services. This information informs Council’s planning, service delivery and policy development.

Surveys will take place during daylight hours and are expected to take approximately 15 minutes. Metropolis Research staff will first provide residents identification authorising them to undertake the survey on behalf of Council.

The information residents provide will be kept confidential and will not be used for any other purpose. Thank you for your participation in the survey.
