New courts a hit BEFORE Once the best kept secret in Morley, Hampton Square Reserve is buzzing with activity after a major transformation. The much-loved tennis courts have been resurfaced in a vibrant ‘Australian Open Blue’, with new nets and fencing. Brighter flood lighting means the courts can now be enjoyed from sunrise all the way through to 9:30pm each day. Improved footpaths, drink fountains and shaded picnic furniture has turned Hampton Square Reserve into an ideal family-friendly location. The playground includes equipment AFTER for young ones as well as more adventurous climbing obstacles for older children. To ensure everyone can enjoy Hampton Square Reserve, the City has added two ACROD parking bays, extended the footpath and installed accessible park furniture. In more good news for tennis lovers, the courts at Crimea Park are scheduled to be resurfaced next. Keep an eye on the City’s Facebook page for updates. Bayswater recognised as a water sensitive City Our beautiful parks, gardens and green open spaces are one of the reasons people love living in the City of Bayswater. As a council, it’s our job to keep these spaces looking their best while minimising negative environmental impacts. To avoid over watering, we use a centralised irrigation system that automatically switches off when rain is forecast. The system allows us to control sprinklers remotely and helps determine exactly how much and when watering is required. We’re also conscious of our fertiliser use, carrying out regular soil monitoring and leaf tissue analysis to make sure we’re using just the right amount. This has been a really successful initiative, and the City achieved number one status in a recent survey regarding nutrient use across Western Australian councils. Visit the South East Regional Centre for Urban Landcare Watch the video at website, sercul.org.au, to view the results. watercorporation.com.au/waterforlife After achieving our Gold Waterwise status, the City was asked to feature in Water Corporation’s Water for Life campaign, showcasing what we’re doing to build a water wise community.
