Duncraig Library

About

Duncraig Library is a vibrant and welcoming community space enjoyed by people of all ages. The library opened in 1974 and as one of the top ten busiest Libraries in the state, it remains a favourite place for people to experience, learn and socialise.

In April 2019 a community artwork collaboration between students at Duncraig Primary School and WA artist Andrew Frazer was unveiled on the front wall. It celebrates the surrounding native flora and complements the flourishing community garden located in the library courtyard and surrounds. The garden is managed by Duncraig Edible Garden, a community driven project that promotes values of community, sustainability and sharing economies.

Come and experience the wonderful space and enjoy the broad range of programs, activities and events on offer; or just sit, relax and have some quiet time and a good read.

Community mediation service

Disputes between neighbours can often lead to disharmony, frustration and/or anger. While it is better to resolve issues between the parties openly and respectfully to find common ground or a solution to the problem, sometimes communication can break down or a matter cannot be resolved. In these situations mediation can assist.

Mediation is a dispute resolution method where parties in dispute can meet with an independent and neutral mediator to help resolve disputes and negotiate a fair and workable outcome.

The first point of contact for mediation will be the City’s Customer Relations Advocate, and the process will be coordinated and conducted by the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). The mediation process is guided by two experienced and professionally qualified mediators.

Types of issues

Examples of issues that can be mediated include:

Dividing fences

  • Erecting a new fence
  • Claiming part payment for a fence erected
  • Damage and repair of dividing fences.

Encroaching roots and branches

  • Overhanging branches into another property
  • Roots that encroach into another property
  • Cutting/trimming of branches and roots
  • Disputes related to damage caused by trees and other plants.

Please refer to the City’s Community Mediation Brochure for further information.

Customer complaints

The City has a complaint resolution process based on best practice principles in complaint management.

The City’s Customer Relations Advocate oversees the City’s complaint process ensuring your concerns are handled in accordance with the City’s protocols and standards; this includes registration in our systems, follow up by the appropriate officer and area and an outcome provided to you.

When lodging a complaint, you can expect a response within seven days. However, if the matter cannot be resolved within seven days, the City will provide you an interim response with the name and contact details of the officer and area who is dealing with the matter. You will be kept informed of your complaint progress.

Please be assured that all information provided by you is treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Creation of Sioux Tempestt’s mural at the Whitford Library

The Whitford Library’s foyer and external entrance walls have been transformed by Perth artist Sioux Tempestt.

Inspired by the stories of local residents, the intent of the imagery and colour palette is to highlight the uniqueness and beauty of Joondalup and its diverse community, in particular the coastal areas around Hillarys, and their influence on the lives of residents past and present. Sioux also incorporated photographs from the City’s Local History collection in the design.
