The City of Gosnells is set to give the Thornlie Civic Precinct a major facelift thanks to Federal Government funding.
The precinct – which sits between the Thornlie Skate Park, Leisure World and Thornlie Library – will be redesigned to create better access for all three facilities and to encourage positive behaviour.
City of Gosnells CEO Ian Cowie said the work was being undertaken to address community concerns raised in a 2007 review.
“The review contained recommendations for design changes based on designing out crime principles and also programming initiatives,” he said.
“Together these recommendations are intended to minimise the potential for anti-social behaviour and address access issues for the Skate Park, library and leisure centre users to ease current conflict.”
Mr Cowie said the Council recognised that many different age groups used the area and the aim was to ensure the needs and requirements of all the users were taken into account.
“There is solid evidence to show that creating a better environment also encourages better behaviour,” he said.
“Work to make it easier to access one facility without going through another will also reduce issues.
“The City has a proven track record of developing excellent facilities for many different users and this project will add to that list.”
The Thornlie Civic Precinct Revitalisation Project begins in September 2009 with funding secured from the Australian Government’s Safer Suburbs Plan.
Mr Cowie said the Federal Government support was much appreciated.
“Infrastructure needs in our fast-growing City cannot be met without assistance from other levels of government. This project is an example of local and Federal governments working together to deliver results to the community.”
A concept plan of the scope of works taking place is on display at Thornlie Library and Leisure World and works are expected to be completed by December 2009.

Local residents can now safely recycle household batteries
as posted here
City residents can now safely dispose of household dry-cell batteries at recycling bins delivered to locations around the City of Gosnells.
City of Gosnells CEO Ian Cowie said the bins were located in the City’s Administration Building on Albany Highway, Gosnells, the Operations Centre in Maddington, the Kenwick Library, Knowledge Centre in Gosnells and Leisure World in Thornlie.
“I am delighted the City can be a part of this ground breaking new recycling initiative,” Mr Cowie said.
“The program is being administered by the Dry-Cell Battery Working Group and involves all five of Perth’s metropolitan regional councils – including the Southern, Eastern, Western, Mindarie and Rivers Regional Councils.”
It is estimated that more than 18 million household batteries are thrown away in WA each year and by eliminating household batteries from ordinary household rubbish, they can be recycled into a range of valuable new products such as streetlights, car parts and building materials, rather than going to waste.
The new battery recycling bins accept most household batteries including AA and AAA cells (single use and rechargeable), C and D sized batteries, watch batteries and 6 and 9V batteries.
