Subscribe to a City eNewsletter during July and automatically go into the draw for a chance to win a Craigie Leisure Centre one-month multi access membership, valued at $199.00. With 12 regular newsletters available, there is a wide range of interests and topics covered for both residents and businesses.
The Joondalup Council has approved the City’s 2022/23 Budget at its June meeting, including an increase of 4.09% to the general rates charge.
The 2022/23 Budget has been influenced by a changed economic environment over the last 12 months, with significant movement in inflation and the first interest rate increases since 2010.
The economic environment of high inflation and interest rate rises is projected to persist in the immediate future. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and resultant state of emergency continues to be a disruption to normal economic and social activity.
The 2022/23 Budget continues measures taken in 2020/21 to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the wider community, including the local economy, with rates revenue only marginally above 2019/20 rates levels.
The budget highlights include:
$3.5 million contribution to new Ocean Reef Sea Sports Club facility
$2.3 million to the Chichester Park clubroom redevelopment
$1.7 million to Ocean Reef Park toilets and changerooms reconstruction, irrigation upgrade and associated works, playspace renewal
$1.6 million to coastal shared path
$1.4 million to Joondalup Drive / Hodges Drive intersection upgrade
$1 million to Craigie Leisure Centre
$950,000 to Craigie Leisure Centre geothermal bore replacement
$814,000 to Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club redevelopment
$500,000 to Leafy City program
Joondalup Mayor Albert Jacob said the 2022/23 Budget enables the City to continue to provide quality programs and services whilst minimising the rates burden for residents.
“On any fair measure, this is a responsible budget that allows the City of Joondalup to have one of the lowest rating levels in the State, both in terms of rate in the dollar and minimum rate levels,” Mayor Jacob said.
“The rates rise is significantly lower than CPI and it is also lower than the increase to the State Government’s Emergency Services Levy, which the City collects on their behalf.
“Two-thirds of residential properties will be charged a general rates levy lower than in 2019-20, due to the pandemic relief measures that the City first undertook in 2020-21.
“We understand that residents have been impacted by cost of living pressures, but local governments are not immune to price increases. Whether it be fuel for the City’s fleet, utilities such as power and water at City facilities or invoices for work and materials, costs have increased significantly in the current market.
“There are some exciting projects on the horizon, including continued progress on the Ocean Reef Marina and Craigie Leisure Centre upgrades, as well as the much-needed redevelopment of the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club.
“I encourage residents to visit the City’s website for more information on these and other works to be undertaken over the City’s 22 suburbs in the next 12 months.”
City of Joondalup ratepayers can sign up to the eRates service to receive their 2022/23 rates notices and instalment reminders by email rather than by post. Register on the City’s website.
Residents are also reminded that in 2022/23 they will be able to download the annual waste guide, greens tipping and shredded green waste (mulch) vouchers directly from the City’s website from Friday 1 July 2022.
Residents who require assistance to download their vouchers and access the guide online can visit any of the City’s Libraries and the Customer Service team at the administration building (90 Boas Avenue, Joondalup). Print copies are also available on request.

The City of Joondalup is excited to announce that WA Plastic Free will be providing free assistance to local food retailers as they adapt to the single-use plastic free future.
From 2022 onwards the WA State Government is introducing a single-use plastic item ban as part of a national effort to combat plastic pollution. WA Plastic Free will be providing free assistance to City businesses as part of that transition, through funding provided by the WA State Government.
Food retailers such as cafes, bars, restaurants, kiosks and vans are eligible for the program. The focus will be on single-use takeaway items where sustainable practices and alternative products already exist.
The global packaging industry is changing fast, which is fantastic for communities and the planet, but many local businesses are not yet fully prepared. City of Joondalup businesses will be able to receive free on the ground support with WA Plastic Free to help in this transition.
Local businesses can register their interest at waplasticfree.org/join.

Why is the footbridge over Moolanda Boulevard closed?
Each year the City is required to undertake routine visual inspection of all its bridges and underpasses. For a number of years, these inspections have highlighted rotting and fungal activities on the Moolanda footbridge’s timber member.
An interim detailed inspection of the footbridge was undertaken by Main Roads WA (MRWA) in September 2020 on behalf of the City whereby good solid timber was found to sufficiently hold the bridge up. A full detailed inspection was being scheduled by MRWA to be undertaken as part of their annual program.
However since then, there has been major and rapid deterioration of some members of the timber footbridge over the last 12 to 18 months resulting in a risk of the bridge failing if subjected to loads. Upon advice received from MRWA and in the interest of public safety, the City made the difficult decision to close access to the footbridge at the end of April 2022.
When will the footbridge over Moolanda Boulevard be open again?
The City is currently working with MRWA to design a temporary solution involving the propping of the existing timber footbridge that should allow the bridge to be reopened by late-2022, whilst a more permanent solution is being investigated and funding obtained.
Will the timber footbridge remain or be replaced?
The advice the City received from MRWA, which was informed by an independent structural assessment, suggested that the timber footbridge’s condition is beyond repair and as such will require replacement.
The new footbridge will be designed to meet the relevant Australian Standards and continue to serve as a vital link in the City’shared path network.
When will the new footbridge be constructed?
Construction of any bridge takes significant planning and development. The City is currently working with MRWA to commence the process of a full detailed design of the new footbridge.
Upon completion of the detailed design, the City will engage a specialist contractor to remove the existing and construct the new footbridge. The footbridge will be required to be closed again to facilitate these works.
At this stage, and all things going well, the City is hopeful that a new footbridge will be completed by late-2023 in accord to the following broad timeline:
Mid to late 2022: Temporary propping works arrange
Late 2022: Re-opening of existing timber footbridge
Mid 2022 – mid 2023: New footbridge planning and development occurs
Mid – late 2023: New footbridge construction and opening
What detours are in place?
Whist the footbridge is closed, detours will be in place directing users to to cross Moolanda Boulevard at-grade located down the entry ramps either side of the bridge. Please follow the signage provided onsite and be courteous to other path users.
Further interim improvements to detours and crossings will be introduced as the project develops.

The Hon. Mark McGowan MLA, Premier of Western Australia, will provide the keynote speech at the City of Joondalup’s first business forum of 2022 at Joondalup Resort on Thursday 2 June.
Mr McGowan will address the forum theme: Growing the global economy through local communities, speaking about the importance of economic diversification for the State and how strategic growth centres like Joondalup will play a significant role in WA emerging stronger from the pandemic.
The Premier will then discuss these issues in a conversation session with City of Joondalup CEO James Pearson.
It is the second time the Premier has attended a City of Joondalup business forum, having previously delivered a keynote speech at the City’s June 2019 forum. Premier McGowan and his Cabinet met in Joondalup in 2020.
A sold-out audience of 320 is expected.
“Setting up our State for the future is one of my Government’s key priorities and the most fundamental way to achieve that is to diversify the economy,” Mr McGowan said.
“We are investing across a range of industries and economic infrastructure projects in Perth’s north and beyond to drive deeper economic diversification and generate jobs.
“My Government’s Diversify WA strategy and WA Jobs Plan are enabling us to build a resilient economy as Western Australia continues to reconnect with the world.”
Also speaking at the forum will be Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA (CCIWA) Chief Economist Aaron Morey.
Mr Morey will provide an update on the WA economy, bringing to light some of the challenges and supply chain vulnerabilities that have emerged during COVID-19 and highlighting the impact the pandemic has had on housing markets and local communities.
Joondalup Mayor Albert Jacob said it was testament to the high regard that the City and its business forums are held that Mr McGowan had again put aside time to address the Joondalup and northern metropolitan business community.
“This is an opportunity for key City stakeholders to hear directly from the Premier of our State about the Government’s strategy to boost and sustain economic growth and the opportunities it offers to people and businesses in Joondalup, and the northern region we serve, as WA emerges stronger from the COVID-19 challenge,” he said.
“Supply chain disruption, the global pandemic and the changing workplace affect our community, families, employment and businesses.
“As Perth’s northern growth and innovation hub, with capabilities in education, health, cyber, tourism, AI, robotics and digital, the post-pandemic world presents major opportunities for Joondalup.”
Those interested in attending can register online via Ticketbooth by Friday 27 May.

The provision of youth recreation facilities at Duncraig’s Percy Doyle Reserve has taken an important step forward after the Joondalup Council endorsed the recommended scope of works and progressed the project to a concept design stage.
The proposal includes a skate park (with bowl), BMX facilities, a multipurpose court, nature play elements, climbing frames, barbecue and picnic areas, spectator spaces, CCTV and lighting.
The preferred site for the infrastructure is the old tennis courts site on Ron Chamberlain Drive.
The estimated capital cost of the project is between $4.3 and $5.7 million, and the scope of works is consistent with similar, contemporary play and skate spaces delivered by other local governments across Perth, including the City of Stirling’s Bina Parkland, Briggs Park in the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale, the City of Perth’s Wellington Square and Mills Park in the City of Gosnells.
The Council has agreed to list $200,000 for consideration in the City’s 2022/23 budget to fund the concept design.
Joondalup Mayor Albert Jacob said that many people will benefit from skate and BMX facilities for youth in the City’s southern suburbs.
“There are lots of young families in the Duncraig area, and more facilities for our youth is among the most important issues for local residents,” Mayor Jacob said.
“Percy Doyle Reserve provides the ideal location as the City’s premier sporting and recreation open space, and these facilities will help to fill a critical gap in skate facilities for young people in the southern suburbs, as identified in the City’s Outdoor Youth Recreation Strategy.
“Council’s decision will allow the City’s administration to develop a concept design, including conducting community consultation, and this will confirm the specific nature of facilities and the scope of works required at the site.
“The City will also explore the potential of grant funding to help contribute to capital costs of the project.”
Following the preparation of a concept and community consultation more detailed costings of the project will be undertaken.
The project will then be brought back to Council for a decision on whether to proceed and funding to be included in the five-year Capital Works Program.

The City’s waste collection contractor, SUEZ, is continuously reviewing service continuity and pandemic response plans in line with the WA Governments evolving COVID-19 protocols. The SUEZ Operations Centre covers approx. 161,000 properties across the Cities of Bassendean, Stirling, and Joondalup.
With WA now operating under high caseload protocols and the expectation of widespread COVID-19 cases in WA in the coming weeks, Suez has implemented split shift starting times for all collection drivers based at their Wangara Operations Centre.
Collections will commence from 5.00am for a limited time. To minimise disruption, original starting locations have been maintained with only very small number of bins not being presented at 5.00am with the City returning to pick up the missed bins.
This move is to minimise the risk of transmission of COVID-19 between staff interacting in groups at the commencement and end of collection shift. This action greatly reduces the possibility of cross infection within waste collection teams.
Whilst WA is under a ‘state of emergency’, section 74 of the Emergency Management Act 2005 (WA) states “rubbish and refuse can be collected without any restrictions on the time when that delivery or collection can occur.”
The City will strive to ensure collections are maintained as much as possible in the coming weeks.
The City of Joondalup is home to some of Perth’s best visitor attractions. Whether you are looking for an outdoor adventure or some indoor fun, you will find a range of attractions and adventures just north of the Perth CBD.

Removal of Beach Enclosure
The City of Joondalup in conjunction with the State Government installed a beach enclosure at Sorrento Beach in late 2016, however at its November 2020 meeting, Joondalup Council unanimously resolved to remove the Sorrento Beach enclosure due to the compromised integrity of the structure.

Woodvale Library is starting something new – a book club for those who prefer fact over fiction. If you love biographies, history, science, creativity, food and more, then this is for you.
Unlike other book clubs, the same book is not read by everyone. You get to choose the book you want to read based on a monthly topic. Select a book from the suggested reads or browse the library shelves for that special book.
Every month you get to share how that book may have inspired or challenged you, and hear what other’s thought about their book.
If you’re looking for something new to try in 2022, then call Woodvale Library on 9400 4180 to register your interest.
This month Woodvale Library is celebrating its 30th Anniversary.
When Woodvale Library was built in 1991 it was surrounded by bushland and stood alone on Trappers Drive. It was officially opened on 13 November 1991 by the City of Wanneroo Mayor, William (Bill) Marwick. It became the seventh library in the then City of Wanneroo, and within six months of opening became one of the busiest public libraries in the state. Woodvale Library has issued over seven million loans to date.
Over the years, Woodvale Library has been adept at developing and changing to the needs of the community by not only providing books for loan, but a wide selection of services and programs for all ages. In 2006 the children’s area was refurbished into a fantasy theme featuring the popular dragon named Dewey.
The Library has a strong digital literacy focus and played a vital role during the recent lockdowns by providing a Digital Helpline to support community members navigating new digital demands. The Helpline, Keystrokes, Libraries Online, Digital Drop-In and other community events and programs continue to be well supported making Woodvale Library a vibrant community hub.
Birthday Celebrations
Saturday 13 November 2021, 10.00am
The whole family is invited to help Woodvale Library celebrate its 30th Birthday on Saturday 13 November. It will be a day to remember with local well known storyteller Glenn Swift as he shares his favourite stories and songs. Let’s make a wish – come help blow out the candles and eat birthday cake.

Spring is the most active time for native animals of all descriptions – snakes, turtles and birds of all types are looking for food, breeding and raising young.
Turtles
September to February is turtle breeding season. Keep an eye out for Southwestern Snake-necked Turtles on roads and paths, particularly surrounding wetland areas, to avoid harming hatchlings.
Magpies
August to October is nesting season for magpies and occasionally male magpies become territorial to protect their young and may swoop if they think the nest or offspring are in danger. If you are swooped by a magpie, stay calm, don’t run and avoid looking towards swooping birds. If outdoors during nesting season wear a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect the face and eyes. Avoid areas with territorial magpies.
To assist residents and visitors, the City encourages the public to report incidents involving territorial magpies which will be added to a register and available on the City’s website.
Snakes
In early spring, snakes such as dugites and tiger snakes become more active looking for food, breeding and basking in the sun to warm up. If a snake finds its way into your house remain calm (to avoid disturbing it), do not attempt to catch or kill it. If you find a snake in a garden or a house, contact Wildcare Helpline on 9474 9055 to be referred to a reptile remover.
Take care when visiting parks and playgrounds and check surroundings for the presence of snakes before allowing children to play.
All native fauna are protected species under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. For further information on the beautiful native animals that can be found within the City, check out the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions’ website.

Presenting the petition
Lead petitioners can hand deliver their petition to the Chief Executive Officer at the City’s Administration Centre, or present it to a City of Joondalup Elected Member.
Clause 5.11 of the City’s Meeting Procedures Local Law 2013 details the decision-making process following the presentation of a petition to Council:
(2) On the presentation of a petition –
(a) the member presenting it or the CEO is confined to reading the petition; and
(b) the only motion that is in order is that the petition be received and, if necessary, that it be referred to the CEO for action.
(3) At any meeting, the Council or committee is not to vote on any matter that is the subject of a petition presented to that meeting, unless-
(a) the matter is the subject of a report in the agenda; and
(b) the Council or committee has considered the issues raised in the petition.
It is requested that Petitions are received at or prior to a Briefing Session, to allow the petition to be checked for validity in accordance with clause 5.11 (1) of the City of Joondalup Meeting Procedures Local Law 2013, and included on the agenda for the Council meeting immediately following the Briefing Session.
Petitions received after a Briefing Session will be included on the agenda for the following month, except where the petition relates to an item on the agenda at that Council meeting.
Should the petition be formally received by Council, the petition will be referred to the Chief Executive Officer and the City’s Administration for investigation. The City will inform the lead petitioner of the decision of the Council in relation to the petition, including any action proposed, which may involve having a report prepared for a future meeting of Council for its consideration.
During the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, the City will follow the public health advice from the State Government and the WA Department of Health which may restrict public attendance at the City of Joondalup meetings.
