The proposed Ghostgum Ave and Armadale Rd intersection

As many of you have already received information in your letterbox regarding the next major phase to the Armadale Road to North Lake Road Bridge Project. Check the Mainroad website for more project details.

This post will highlight the construction that will impact residents in Calleya Estate and surrounding Treeby. Mainly the Ghostgum Ave entrance to Armadale Road.

This 3-staged construction will commence in early September 2020 and aims to mid-2021. A major diversion is required to assist the widening of Armadale Road. As a result, the intersection will be converted to left-turn access only during the construction phase.

Ghostgum Avenue traffic intending to travel westbound on Armadale Road will be required to turn left at Armadale Road and follow the detour to the Liddelow Road roundabout then turn back onto Armadale Road, adding an extra 2 km, or approximately four minutes to travel times.

Armadale Road westbound traffic intending to travel northbound on Ghostgum Avenue will be required to continue travelling west on Armadale Road to the temporary roundabout at Tapper Road and Verde Drive (in operation from mid-August), then turn back onto Armadale Road. This will add an extra 1.5 km, or approximately three minutes to travel times.

Right turning movements between Armadale Road and Ghostgum Avenue will be prohibited, as they would require road users to cross an active construction site and oncoming traffic, without protection from traffic signals. This would create a potentially hazardous situation for road users and construction workers in the area. This duration of the right turn closure is necessary for the significant works to be safely undertaken in a heavily constrained area with live power, gas and water services.

Signed detours will be in place throughout each stage of the works. A detour map can be found below. To minimise disturbance to residents, we aim to keep construction-related noise to a minimum and will actively monitor these impacts throughout.

Upon completion, an additional lane will be added to the Armadale Road and Ghostgum Avenue intersection in each direction to improve capacity and support ongoing residential development in Treeby.

If you have any questions about these works or wish to find out more about the Armadale Road to North Lake Road Bridge Project, please phone 138 138, email enquiries@mainroads.wa.gov.au or visit https://project.mainroads.wa.gov.au/home/armadaleroadbridge/Pages/default.aspx

Let's talk about a popular issue here in Calleya estate and that is the mobile coverage ๐Ÿ“ถ from all the telecom providers.

You may have come across many Facebook posts on our Calleya Estate, Treeby community group or on our  TCA Facebook page highlighting the grievances of having low to no phone signals in this estate. 

This issue existed since the first development of Calleya; and as population density increases the signals deteriorate drastically. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ We, the TCA, had been raising this issue with the Cockburn council and the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) yearly in hope that a solution can be implemented.

In the last Wednesday general meeting, on 12th August 2020 at Mooba Cafe, we had the pleasure of having Mr. Yaz Mubarakai joining us and sharing some key developments and community pain-points he is addressing in 2020. One specific highlight is that he proactively is taking action to get this Mobile Coverage issue resolved. He acknowledged that Treeby and our surrounding community are growing at a record pace and a good telecommunication infrastructure needs to be in place for all the residents.

In order to do that, he is collecting feedbacks and experiences from the residents in these communities. The more he can collect, the strong the case he can build to get a tower erected or a small-cell placed in our surrounding area.

So please, let's help to make Calleya mobile coverage possible by putting your feedback in the survey link below:

Opal Aged Care - Treeby Parklands - Opening Late 2020

Stockland and TCA have been receiving questions regarding the construction opposite to the dog park on Abelia Road.

This is the new Opal Aged Care facility.

Opal Aged Careโ€™s new home, Treeby Parklands Care Community, is progressing well with construction expected to reach completion in September 2020. Opal Aged Care offers high-quality clinical care, social and recreational programs, and community connections in a friendly and inviting atmosphere for residents and their families. The Opal care home will also include a cafรฉ and physio rehab clinic which will be open to the wider Calleya/Treeby Community.

Please contact Rita Gatenby for more information on PH 0429 954 886 or rita.gatenby@opalagedcare.com.au

Visit Opal Aged Care Specialist website.

The City has been working with a Community Reference Group and Architect to complete a draft design for a new Community and Sports Centre in Treeby. The purpose of this facility is to serve the local community and sporting groups, given their growing numbers and needs.

The draft design for this new Community and Sports Centre was developed based on community feedback from early 2019, when we asked our residents what kind of spaces and activities were most important to them. With a construction budget of approximately $5.5 million, the draft design includes elements such as an activity room, "wet" arts and crafts space, a function room, external play area and more.

THANK YOU โค๏ธ

Thank you to all for adhering to the social distancing practices in the last few weeks. A huge thanks to members in our community that are in the front line protecting us all ๐Ÿ‘. Also, a big thanks to our residents who offered up their time to help those in need. We had witnessed many positive interactions on our Facebook and WhatsApp group. It really shows that we are stronger together as a community ๐Ÿ’ช.

It is a time for strength, humanity and kindness. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿค

Coronavirus (COVID-19) at a glance

We are still FAR from over, despite today's news of easing coronavirus restrictions in WA from our Premier Mark McGowan. McGowan has announced a "cautious relaxation" of some COVID restrictions in WA, including allowing indoor and outdoor non-work gatherings of up to 10 people. However, please keep continuing to follow the advice from the Australia Department of Health and WA Department of Health. Take care and reach out if you need help!

 

Have you seen Carl?

This week, our Treeby Gardening Committee had been working on a fun secret project. We would like to introduce Carl, our Community Garden Scarecrow, he will be a permanent resident there while guarding ours produces. ๐Ÿ˜Š 

Feel free to drop by and say hi to Carl! ๐Ÿ‘‹

 

Nextdoor report!

A while back we introduced Nextdoor in our TCA Facebook group. The member has been slowly increasing over the past 6 months. Just today we hit 237 members in 189 households. That is 15% of Calleya!! That is amazing.

I know this may be just 'another social platform' for some, but the great thing about Nextdoor is that anything shared in this neighbourhood will only be read by the residents in Treeby. Unlike Facebook groups where it is hard to control who joins the group.

So, if you are interested to join Nextdoor use this link. ๐Ÿ˜„

15% of Calleyans are on Nextdoor!

If you see trash along your road or in your neighborhood, please take the time to pick it up and throw it away ๐Ÿšฎ.  If you are at the park, please use the public bins for your trash, cigarette butts, and finished cans/bottles.

Please be considerate of others who also might be walking where you have walked by disposing of your dog waste๐Ÿ’ฉ.  Doggie bags are available in the yellow tubes located throughout the estate. If the doggie bags run out, please report it to Cockburn council customer@cockburn.wa.gov.au.

If every person just took a few minutes each week to dispose of trash, we could easily keep our community beautiful โœจ!  Thank you for your time and contribution! ๐Ÿ˜

More information

There is an update from City of Cockburn regarding the installation of sports floodlighting over the coming months at our Treeby Reserve (Oval). A formal letter should be making rounds in our estate. You can also read about it here!

The City of Cockburn with the support of the Federal Governments (Sport Australia) Community Sport Infrastructure Program is scheduled to install four new sports floodlighting towers over the period of March to June 2020 on Treeby Reserve, corner of Clementine Blvd and Sapphire Dve, Treeby.

On the next page is a map outlining where the floodlighting towers will be located and some Frequently Asked Questions.

The sports floodlighting will use LED lights and will allow both sporting clubs and the wider community to use the reserve at night.

Notably, the installation will include a community light that enables low level lighting at night when the reserve is not being used by a sporting club. This light will enable basic leisure activities to occur (walking or running) and will discourage anti-social behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Why has Treeby Reserve been chosen for floodlighting?
    The City of Cockburn is committed to providing public open spaces that are well utilised. Treeby Reserve is currently the only active sporting reserve in the suburb of Treeby. It provides a good location for local sport and recreation activities and was originally set aside for recreational purposes as part of the planning process for Treeby.
    The park is currently under the management of the developer Stockland; however this is scheduled to come across to the City in 2021. Once the formal management of the reserve is transferred to the City, the City will have the ability to allocate usage to sporting clubs for use.
  2. What type of sporting activities could be undertaken?
    The lighting layout has been configured to accommodate two rectangular pitches (soccer, rugby) as well as an Australian Rules Football oval. Lighting is to local community competition match standard.
  3. Which sporting clubs will use the reserve?
    At the Ordinary Council Meeting in June 2019, the Fremantle Roosters Rugby League Club was awarded winter tenancy (April to September) to Treeby Reserve following an open expression of interest process. At this time, no summer sporting clubs have expressed an interest.
  4.  Will I still be able to use the park for informal recreation activities (such as walking, jogging, dog walking)?
    Yes, although the park will be available for hire by organised sporting groups, the park is still available for general use of the community at other times. In any case, informal recreation activities could be still undertaken around the park and the barbecue, picnic shelter and playground can be used by the community at all times.
  5. What does the sportsโ€™ floodlighting include?
    Sports floodlighting will enable greater sporting opportunities at night to be undertaken in a safe manner. The proposed infrastructure includes four 34m towers with LED lights. The overall brightness can be switched from 50 to 100 lux to enable both training and local level competition in line with Australian Standard AS2560.2.3.
    The floodlight pole locations and design has taken into consideration the control of obtrusive light to nearby amenities and residential properties as per Australian Standard AS4282. In any situation, floodlighting would only be operating in the park between 5.30pm to 9pm (Mon to Thurs) and 10pm (Fri and Sat). Sporting clubs using the lights are required to pay for running costs.
  6. When will works occur?
    Works are scheduled for March and April 2020 and from 7am โ€“ 5pm Mon to Fri. Some Saturday work may be required. Works will occur periodically, however the community will still have access to the reserve and amenities.

After reading through the Frequently Asked Questions, should you require further information staff please contact the undersigned on 9411 3444 or customer@cockburn.wa.gov.au.
