Pool fence will be 2.1m

Peninsula leisure centre project officer Mr Peter Hickman has stated that a 2.1 metre high fence will be constructed around the eastern boundary of the leisure centre, following concerns from local residents and Cr Jim Macfadyen.

Cr Macfadyen asked on May 3 if one of the conditions in relation to the leisure centre was that in Alpha St council agreed to the erection of a 2.1 metre fence on the boundary.

Cr Macfadyen also asked if council was aware that the local residents had been advised that the fence will only be 1.8 metres high.

"Are we reneging on the agreement with the local community or has there been a mistake made?" Cr Macfadyen asked.

The director of development and health Ms Colleen Worthy-Jennings said that condition five of the consent in relation to the development application stipulated that a 1.8 metre high fence would be erected along the boundary on the northern side of Alpha Rd from Blackwall Rd to the western boundary of the rear car park and the southern side of Terry Ave from Blackwall Rd.

Ms Worthy Jennings added that the approved Construction Certificate plans showed a height of 2.1 metres along the eastern boundary.
