ENGAGEMENT REPORTRIVERFRONT ACTIVATION PROJECTSTAGE 1 CITY TO RIVER MASTER PLANBackgroundThe Riverfront Activation Project is the first stageof the City to River Masterplan, a long term 20year plan which aims to enhance and activate theWimmera River Precinct and its’ link to the CentralActivity District of Horsham. The City to Riverproject has been divided into sub-precincts to allowprojects to proceed in a staged, prioritized manner.The Masterplan was developed in 2019, drawn froma large number of current Council strategies andplans along with community input and engagementconducted throughout that year. The Master Planwas approved by the Council in Nov 2019, withamendments to the Plan. The Council endorsed thedevelopment of detailed concept and schematicdesigns for the Riverfront, including identifying thesite for a café and a waterplay area.This approval allowed Council staff to progressthe next stage of the riverfront project with bothFederal and State Government funding. This reportoutlines the process and engagement undertakento develop, advance and test this more detailedplanning, including technical advice, assessmentsand community input into the plan. The Plan will bepresented back to Council prior to the completionof the current Council’s term.What is being looked at?The Riverfront Precinct focusses on the area westof the Rowing Clubroom to east of the WimmeraBridge. Assets located close to, or in the precinctinclude, Adventure Island and the Pump Track,the Botanical Gardens playground, bike andwalking tracks, the Rowing and Angling clubrooms,Miniature Rail, the actual waterway, riverfront andthe caravan park.The Wimmera River is one of Horsham’s significantnatural, social and cultural assets. The WimmeraRiver Activation project seeks to build on thisstrength by exploring the creation of new activespaces for recreation and build and improve accessand use of existing open space and recreationalassets. Improving links to the central activity districtis also important.Purpose of EngagementReportThis Report summarises the commitment, approachand outcomes undertaken to develop the Conceptand Schematic plans for the Wimmera RiverfrontActivation project.Clear and direct community feedback providedthrough the 2019 City to River Master planningprocess has informed how the Riverfront Activationproject has evolved. A deliberate focus onimproving engagement with the community todevelop the Riverfront Concept Plan has been setagainst the following objectives: Build relationships and trust with the communityand key stakeholders Provide an opportunity for any member of thecommunity to provide input Provide an open, transparent process so that thecommunity understands and supports the process Gain diverse community input into a planfor making the riverfront more inviting Clearly communicate opportunitiesto be engaged and project progress5
These engagement objectives have been metthrough undertaking the following: Establishing a transparent and empoweredCommunity Reference Group (CRG) to guide theproject’s engagement; The CRG agreeing to parameters and principlesunder which they would operate and undertaking aclear challenge ‘to make the Wimmera Riverfrontan even more inviting place for everyone now andfor future generations’; Encouraging discussion and debate about theproject and ideas, negating personal attacks, andsetting a tone of constructive input and activelistening; Following best practice engagement processes(IAP2 Framework); Establishing close and frequent feedback loopsbetween Council staff, the landscape architects(Tract) and the CRG to adapt and respond tofeedback along the design journey; and Providing open avenues for a wide cross sectionof the public to participate through constructivefeedback loops.The engagement objectives and processes haveshaped how the CRG works. They have designedand delivered a comprehensive engagementplan to communicate, test, collate and refinethe draft plan for the Riverfront, guided by inputand community needs. It is recognised that anyone plan will not satisfy all needs and interests ofthe community, however if the majority are servedwell and are generally satisfied and the feedbackprovided improves the process, approach and plan,the CRG and Council will view this as a way forwardto advance plans to the next stage.Having well scoped and costed projects, testedagainst community need and demand, guided byland holders, traditional owners and authorities,supports Horsham Rural City to stay strong andagile in a fast moving and highly competitiveeconomy and society. Taking full advantage offuture funding opportunities and privateinvestment that grows business, drivesopportunities, improves services and retainsand attracts people is key to maintaining andgrowing our status as a regional city. Forward,strategic and often long term planning, thinkingand preparedness, enables our region to not justsurvive, but flourish.Establishment of the CRGThe Community Reference Group (CRG) wasformed in April 2020 to guide effective engagementfor the project, taking on lessons learnt from theCity to River Master Plan process, to ensure thecommunity’s voice has been heard and feedbackis acknowledged. The CRG has worked closely withCouncil staff and the landscape architects - Tract,to develop the draft concept design for theRiverfront. The group have met 12 times sinceformation. Meetings have been held via Zoom andgenerally last 2 hours. The group met on-site at theRiverfront in July to sense check plans andundertake a site walk through.Who makes up the CRG?The CRG includes representatives of keystakeholders located in or adjacent to theRiverfront precinct, as well three communityrepresentatives.Organisation representatives John Gorton, Aboriginal Advisory Committee (Chair) Stuart Harradine, Barengi Gadjin Land Council Steve Parish, Horsham Angling Club Sue Jones, Horsham Caravan Park Ray White, Horsham City Rowing Club Di Bell, Horsham Rural Ratepayers & Residents Zach Currie, Youth Council (until Aug 2020) Brylee Taylor, Youth Council (from Aug 2020) Gary Aitken, Wimmera RiverImprovement Committee6
