Frank Tiger Moore

• Frank ‘Tiger’ Moore was born in Perth and raised in Redcliffe. He was the son of Frank and Ellen Moore who lived in Redcliffe and owned a block of land near the airport on Central Avenue.

• He became an apprentice jockey at the age of 14 in Ascot to ‘Bunny’ Hyde.

• ‘Tiger’ piloted another WA legend in Aquanita to win the W S Cox Plate in Melbourne and ran third on the same horse in the Melbourne Cup.

• ‘Tiger’ also won a record equalling 8 WA Jockey Premierships with the great ‘Frank Treen’ and the modern day marvel ‘Paul Harvey’.

• Frank Moore received the nickname ‘Tiger’ when he was a child back in the 1930’s. The Member of Parliament, the Hon Bill Mitchell (Member for the Murchison) would come and stay with his family while in Perth. ‘Tiger’ was about 10 at the time and all the local children would come and play football at his family’s property and as ‘Tiger’ was the smallest, Mr Mitchell had a soft spot for him and as ‘Tiger’ would burst out of the pack with the ball, Mr Mitchell would jump up off his seat and yell ‘Go Tiger’ and the name stuck.

Teasdale Edward (Ted) G Teasdale – Councillor from 1979-1995 and 2001-2007.

(Refer Item 12.3 – 23/03/2010 Council Minutes) Was the Chairman of a Working Group that in 1991 produced a ‘Public Open Space Strategy’ for the City of Belmont. He was of the strong view that the unsightly water drainage sumps that were fenced, could be made to fulfil the dual function of compensating basins and recreation areas. The first model of this was Lot 20 Fulham Street. Section 2.1, page 19 of the Report makes reference to Lot 20 Fulham Street. Initially, there was opposition to the idea from government authorities, particularly the proposal that monies held as cash-in-lieu of public open space or the proceeds of the sale of public open space could be used to develop compensating basins for recreational use. He assisted Officers to mount arguments in favour of his idea, until eventually there was support from government. Now it is enshrined in planning documentation from the Department of Planning and allowed the upgrading of many compensating areas in the City of Belmont and across the State. The 1991 Public Open Space Strategy report details all the public open space rationalisation proposals in which former Councillor Teasdale was involved. Convinced former Chief Executive Officer to borrow $695,000 to pay off the City’s high interest loans and replace them with one low interest loan. There was an immediate saving of $54,000 per year (minuted). Received meritorious award from the Western Australian Local Government Association in 1995 for 16 years of service to local government. Invited by the Department of Local Government to make a contribution to the finance section of the Local Government Act 1995. Highlighted shortcomings of minimum rate. The minimum rate was made flexible provided no more than 50% of rateable properties were affected. This allowed for a more equitable distribution of rates. The concept of the redevelopment the area known as Tomato Lake was conceived when he and former Councillor Van Garderen walked through the degraded bushland along President Street in winter and found that the land was water-logged. In April 1981 Council formed a committee (Tomato Lake Advisory Committee) and redevelopment began with its completion within 28 years. With ever increasing popularity of Tomato Lake he suggested an alternative park site (Centenary Park) which had opportunities for development to encourage residents to walk and exercise. With the redevelopment of the Bart Clayden Aquatic Centre to create Belmont Oasis, he was given the opportunity of being the inaugural chairman. This ultimately led to a seat on the board of Leisure Australia (the parent company). Reserve 40689 (Adjacent Garratt Road Bridge and the Turf Club). Convinced Chief Executive Officer, Dr Shayne Silcox, of the benefit to the community to have public access to this reserve and assisted with negotiations with the WA Turf Club.

HISTORY

Kewdale Primary School was opened (as South Belmont State School) on 26 January 1915 with an initial enrolment of 26 children. At the time, the school was a single brick room (now Room 9) surrounded by bush and enclosed by a wooden post and top and bottom rail fence with two wires between. A rainwater tank provided water.

The original single room was deemed adequate until 1927, by which time it was occupied by upwards of 58 students.

Although the plans were made for an extra room, the cost of £660 appears to have been too large. Consequently, Pavilion Classroom was relocated from Claremont, at a cost of £150, as a temporary measure to house junior grades.

Pavilion classrooms were constructed at Claremont Central in 1916 and 1918, and Pavilion Classroom is likely to be one of these buildings.

By the year 1961 there were six classrooms and 272 students on the site and the school was also using local church hall.

In 1967 enrolments reached 622 students, and despite new classrooms, it proved necessary to use washroom was used as a temporary classroom.

And the school continued to grow, both in size and numbers. The official maximum number of students recorded was 790 in 1970. At that time Kewdale Junior Primary School was under construction.

A 62

CITY OF BELMONT INVENTORY Kewdale Junior Primary School merged with Kewdale Primary School in 1997, and there was a substantial investment in the site. Although the Department of Education proposed removing Pavilion Classroom at this time, pressure from the school ensured its preservation.

In 2011, Pavilion Classroom is used as a classroom for Kewdale Primary School.

HISTORY

In 1944, Harry and Edna Bellis turned to horse training, selling their poultry farm and buying several blocks of land in Belmont Avenue. A brick home was built on one of the front blocks, which they had purchased for £15, and the other blocks used as yards for horses.

Stables were subsequently erected and the Bellis family went on to train many local winners. Their first winning horse was ‘Gay Flower’ in 1947.

Appian was a successful horse from 1948, along with Manx Lea and Oranic.

In 1951, Harry Bellis announced that he was retiring from training (West Australian, 28 May 1951), although it is unknown if he carried this out immediately.

HISTORY

The earliest reference to a poultry farm near the location appears to be a 1935 advertisement for ‘Machlin’s Poultry Farm’, Acton Avenue, near South Belmont School (now called Kewdale Primary School) (West Australian, 22 October 1935).

In 1945, Machlin’s Poultry Farm was described as follows:

Total area 33 acres 10 roods, 26 perches…, with attractive modern brick residence, with 5 large rooms and sleepout, men’s quarters, garages, workshop, plucking room, incubator rooms, feed house, storeroom, brooder houses and numerous fowl houses and runs, pump house, reticulation system, tanks, all necessary plant and machinery (including electric 15,000 egg incubator), approximately 2,300 laying fowls, 3,000 growers and 700 chicks, 1 mare and 1 cow in milk. The property includes swamp land with good dark soil and a plentiful permanent water supply and enabling the growing of ample green feed. This is a very well equipped poultry farm, supplying large quantities of eggs, day‐old chicks and dressed poultry to customers of long standing. (Sunday Times, 28 October 1945)

It seems likely that Alf Hampton purchased Machlin’s Poultry Farm in 1945, since by 1946 he was advertising himself both as the owner of Machlin Poultry Farm and of Hampton’s Stud Farm at the same address (Scott Street).

Hampton became more interested in racing, together with his son Ken, winning the Ascot Handicap with Alabama in 1954 (West Australian, 27 January 1954). Eventually he required more space for this

A 68


side of his business and he relocated to Byford.

The poultry farm was then acquired by Max Machlin, son of Abraham Machlin, the original owner. ARCHITECT/DESIGNER ‐‐‐‐‐

HISTORY

Rivervale Homing Club was formed in 1934, with an early race being the 148 miles [240 km] from Merredin (Sunday Times, 1 July 1934). At the time it claimed to be the ‘only club in action which did not use clocks for its races’. Instead, ‘time is allowed for distances, and overfly to the winning post’. It was noted that ‘the club jogs along merrily, and keen racing is the order’. (Sunday Times, 15 July 1934.)

The earliest members of the Club were: Fox, S. Bowler, C. Abbott, G. Tulloh, and George Galvin (www.prfwa.org.au, accessed 10 October 2011).

The earliest clubrooms were located at 26 Maple Street, Rivervale (West Australian, 1 November 1935).

By 1936, the Club was noted as being successful and having increased its membership. A series of races from Kalgoorlie were held, and a blue chequer hen, from the loft of Ed Ludlow, covered the distance at ‘the splendid velocity’ of 1099 yards per minute *60 km/h+ (Sunday Times, 23 August 1936).

By 1937, the clubrooms had relocated to 24 Streatley Road, Rivervale (West Australian, 2 March

1937). The Rivervale Homing Club opened its 1938 season with an open race from Meckering. Eight

lofts were represented by 44 birds and the winner came from the loft of Ed Ludlow (West Australian, 27 May 1938).

Hutchison Street was named after the jockey who rode the Perth Cup winner, Picaro, in 1936. It

A 73

http://www.prfwa.org.au/

http://www.prfwa.org.au/


appears likely that the Club moved to its present premises in 1939‐40.

An article on the Homing Club (Western Mail, 9 June 1949) went into detail on the sport:

Reg Treffone is president and the leading spirit of the Rivervale Homing Club. He has topped the points for consistency and the greatest velocity for the last 10 years.

He competes regularly in club races and all combine (combined clubs) events. Mostly he races birds of his own breeding. Some of these are valued at £20.

To give all competitors an equal chance homing clubs stipulate a maximum number of birds for any one owner in each event. Rivervale Club usually has an eight‐bird limit.

Every Wednesday night after he has fed and watered his birds Reg Treffone selects those to represent the loft in the Saturday race. These are ‘basketed’ (placed in a wire cage) and taken to the club rooms.

Here officials check the number of birds basketed and place a specially‐marked rubber ring on the leg of each one. The basket is then officially sealed and dispatched with those of the other competitors to the Perth railway station to be consigned to the distant town which has been selected as the starting point of the race. Pigeons are transported at half rates.

Mostly the birds are liberated by the station masters along the eastern line. In addition to releasing the birds they also give them food and water some time before the start.

Back at the lofts about noon on Saturday Reg Treffone and his wife, after taking into consideration the conditions prevailing, endeavour to estimate when the first bird can be expected to reach home.

With this rough calculation as a guide Mrs Treffone keeps a close watch on the vacant homing loft throughout Saturday afternoon because immediately a pigeon enters the loft no time must be lost in removing the rubber ring to clock in the bird.

This is done by placing the ring in a ‘thimble’, and ‘posting’ it into the sealed compartment of the clock . Automatically the time showing on the face is stamped on a paper roll within its mechanism in a manner not unlike that used to record figures on a cash register roll. Provision is made in these clocks for about a dozen thimbles sufficient to time an equal number of birds.

Timing clocks, which were mostly made in Germany, are a most ingenious device. They are a scarce commodity these days and are valued at about £20.

Clocks are checked and set going at a standard time by club officials when the birds are basketed. Every safeguard is taken to prevent fraud. If the clock is tampered with in any way a hole is automatically punched in the time‐registering paper roll and disqualification follows.

Reg Treffone makes no secret of the fact that he races pigeons for pleasure, not for profit. He feeds his birds on pigeon peas, which are imported from the Eastern States. At the existing price of the peas (£5/10/ a bag) it costs him more than £1 per week to feed his birds. ‘They're well worth it’, he says.

Reg Treffone’s pigeons have flown over all distances up to Loongana (700 miles). He particularly prizes a hen of his own breeding, which he considers one of the fastest birds in the State. On one occasion it competed in three races in three weeks flying a total of over 1,500 miles to record two seconds and a third.

‘Our birds have to race in extremely tough conditions’, says Reg. ‘They race in the winter months from May to October and as their direction is from east to west they frequently encounter strong head winds and storms.’

In 2011, Rivervale Homing Club continues to meet once a month at the clubhouse during racing season (May to October). The Club has around seven members and races regularly.

HISTORY

The Belmont War Memorial was erected in 1923 by the people of Belmont in honour of the 34 soldiers from the district who fell in the Great War. The memorial was unveiled by the Governor, Sir Francis Newdegate. (West Australian, 24 September 1923)

Also present at the official unveiling, were Lady Newdegate, D. McLoughlin (president of the Belmont Road Board), Archbishop Riley, Gen. Sir Talbot Hobbs, Col. Pope. The memorial was originally erected in a triangular reserve opposite Belmont Primary School, at a cost of £552.

General Hobbs noted that the people of Belmont had set an example to the more wealthy suburbs of Perth. He also regretted that the city did not yet possess a State Memorial (Kings Park memorial was not erected until 1929).

After the Last Post had been sounded, a number of wreaths were placed on the memorial.

In 1972, as a consequence of widening Great Eastern Highway, the memorial was relocated to Faulkner Park.

Statement of Significance

A collection of civic buildings within a parkland setting which has formed a focal point for civic activities within the City of Belmont since the 1970s.

Historical Background

Oasis Leisure Centre Bart Clayden Aquatic Centre - The early thoughts on provision of a swimming pool can be traced back to June 1958. After Councillors Clayden and P.J. Faulkner inspected the Northam Olympic Pool the Belmont Park Swimming Pool Project Committee was formed. A public meeting and questionnaires to ratepayers supported the project but the Council was still undecided. Bart Clayden was a Road Board and Shire Councillor 1958-73 and worked very hard to make this a reality. Architects Forbes/Fitzhardinge were engaged, builders were Consolidated Constructions and the official opening was performed on 13 November 1971 by the Premier The Hon. J.T. Tonkin MLA. Over the years the facilities have been redesigned and enlarged, almost rebuilt, and the name changed to the Oasis Leisure Centre. By 1994 the Centre was 'a world standard total recreation centre' catering for both water and dry sports.

A 80


P.J. Faulkner Park P.J. "Paddy" Faulkner served on the Road Board from 1935-41 and 1948-66. He lived on Great Eastern Highway near the Devil's Elbow and ran a pig farm in Belmont Avenue. Belmont became a Shire in 1961 and Road Board Chairman P.J. Faulkner became the district's first Shire President. Faulkner Park was named on 25 January 1965, but to stop confusion among family members it was renamed P.J. Faulkner Park several years later. Ruth Faulkner Library This was built in 1971 and is adjacent to the Administration building. Ruth Faulkner was the first female Councillor in the district and served from 1968-71. The Council originally favoured a site in Knutsford Avenue, but following dissension in the community, it was erected in Faulkner Park. In 1983 it became the first library in the State to install a computerised database, this being set up in conjunction with the Library Board of WA. By 1998 Belmont's library had over 50,000 items on the shelves. It also provided Infolink services, a microfiche reader, photocopiers, laminating services and Internet services for members. Administration Centre Though completed in 1978 was not officially opened until February 1979. This building was more centrally located than the old Shire building. The cost was $1,372,000 to construct and another $180,000 for furniture, fittings, etc. and landscaping. Built on land originally owned by Stephen Craig it was financed in the main by the sale of two properties. The inaugural Mayor was Cr. Fred Rae and the new building, fronting Wright Street, was officially opened on 17 February 1979 by His Excellency the Governor of Western Australia Sir Wallace Kyle. During this ceremony he declared Belmont a city. Fountains in Faulkner Park Two fountains are situated in an ornamental lake. One of these is distinctive as a rockery waterfall. These were in installed in 1979 as part of the State’s 150th anniversary, as a joint project between the Belmont City Council and the Belmont-Rivervale and Cloverdale branches of the Country Women’s Association (CWA). Both these branches have now closed, and the water features continue as a reminder of the role of the CWA in Belmont’s past. Historic theme and sub theme Theme: Social and civic activities.

Statement of Significance & Historical Background In 1895 a rail link was opened with the actual line branching the Bayswater line at Mt Joanna and crossing the river on what had been Drummond's property Loc. 31. The line ran down Belmont Road, on the Maylands side and curved around after crossing the river to run alongside Matheson Road (then called Cambridge Crescent). The bridge was constructed in two separate sections with a line for "up" traffic and one for "down" traffic. In 1902 a controversy arose over the naming of the two stations along the racecourse link, but the Belmont Park Road Board was adamant that the name Belmont be retained at all cost. In addition to racing patrons the link also serviced local businesses. In particular Rowlands Produce Store and Brisbane and Wunderlich were extremely dependent upon the line for daily supplies. This line was closed in 1956 when a fire destroyed the bridge beyond repair. All remnants were demolished in the 1960's and the site of the Belmont Station is now part of the car park at Ascot Racecourse.

The site is marked with a commemorative plaque erected in the year of the Bi-Centenary.

an average of 4 metres; and (b) allow a minimum open space requirement of

45%”.

Updated grammar and sentence structure.

5.3.2.2 – R30 subdivision corner lots

Remove reference to “flexible coded” corner lots. The intent of this clause is to allow subdivision of R20 corner lots. Subdivision of flexible coded corner lots is better dealt with under Clause 5.7.7.

Move subclause (b) to subclause (a). Changed order for clarity purposes.

5.3.2.2(a) – Demolition of dwellings and improvements

Minor rewording for greater clarity.

Insert reference to “Clause 5.3.2.2”. To provide greater clarity.

5.3.2.4 – Secondary Dwelling Insert new clause: “The City may permit the development of a Secondary Dwelling on a R20‐coded lot, provided that: (a) The owner of the lot occupies either the main dwelling or the secondary dwelling; and (b) The lot is not less than 450m2 in area and has no potential to accommodate a grouped or multiple dwelling; and (c) The open space requirements of Table 1 of the R Codes are met; and (d) The maximum floor area of the secondary dwelling is not greater than 100m2; and (e) One additional car space is provided on the site; and (f) A notification under Section 70A of the Transfer of Land Act 1893 is to be registered on the Certificate of Title advising the owners and prospective purchasers of the land that a secondary dwelling has been approved”

To include requirements pertaining to Secondary Dwellings (refer Background section of Officer’s Report).

Update to: “...in accordance with the character and intent of the

Ascot Waters or The Springs locality respectively”. 5.3.4.3 – Variations to The Springs & Ascot Waters requirements

Simplified for greater clarity and to grammatically have regard to the opening section of the clause 5.7.3. The reference to single storey dwellings being permitted up to R30 is not a development standard, but rather a default scenario which is not intended to be mandated. Mandating two‐storey development is however a development standard. On this basis, there is no need to

A 92

make reference to single storey dwellings. 5.7.3(f) – Internal fencing Update to:

“All internal and external fencing that is visible from the street is visually permeable and/or designed in a manner that does not restrict views between the dwellings and the street”

A 93

5.7.3 – Side by side development

Insert new Clause (m): “Dwellings that are orientated in a side by side configuration comply with the vehicle access requirements contained within the relevant local planning policy”.

A 94

“A maximum density of R30 is not exceeded, provided that: (a) the existing lot has frontage to two constructed roads; or (b) where the lot does not the frontage to two constructed roads, the frontage of any single house lot is not less than 12 metres; and (c) Any existing improvement/s on the parent lot/s which in the opinion of the City is: (i) of low quality or incapable of being upgraded to a standard commensurate with new development; or (ii) poorly sited and fails to maximise opportunities in relation to proposed lot boundaries; is demolished; and (d) The created lots are of a regular shape, or it can be demonstrate that a dwelling can be accommodated on any new lot”.

dominating the streetscape, as well as to protect Council street trees and other infrastructure.

Table II – Car parking ratios Delete car parking ratio for “Bank”. A ‘Bank’ is defined by the use class “Office” and therefore car parking is to be assessed on that basis.

Table II – Car parking ratios Parking ratio of 1 space : 20m2 of NLA introduced as per Council resolution dated xxx.

To reflect previous Council decision on the parking ratio for Health Studio.

Table III – Bicycle parking ratios

Has regard to similar intensity land uses and also the nature of the use being exercise focussed.

6.3.1 – Definition of infrastructure for development contributions

Update to refer to State Planning Policy 3.6. Model Scheme Text reads as if it is State Planning Policy 3.6, rather than as Scheme content.

requires referral to external agencies, and therefore a planning assessment is required.

8.2(7) – erection of boundary fence exempt from planning approval

Reword to: “the erection of a boundary fence, provided: (a) In the Residential and Residential & Stables zone, the boundary fence is: (i) not located in the street setback area of the lot; and/or (ii) if located within the street setback area, the fence is not more than 1.8 metres in height when measured from natural ground level and visually permeable above 1.2 metres above natural ground level; (b) In any zone other than ‘Residential’ and ‘Residential & Stables’, the boundary fence is located wholly behind the street setback area of the lot”.

Existing wording was incorrect. Updated.

8.2(11) – patios exempt from planning approval

Replace “notwithstanding” with “irrespective of”. The City does not intend for patios of any nature to be subject to a planning assessment unless they are located in the front setback. The use of the term ‘notwithstanding’ is incorrect and implies that patios that vary the R Code requirements require planning assessment.

8.2.12 – carports exempt from planning approval

Update to: “Carports: (a) located wholly behind the front setback of the lot; or

Wording predominantly updated to better clarify the requirements. Additional criteria is included to require a minimum setback of 2.0 metres from a front boundary, and the colour of the roof to match that of the existing residence.

Updated for grammar and to clarify requirements.

Schedule 1 – Definition of Secondary Dwelling

“Secondary Dwelling: means an additional dwelling or independent accommodation associated with a single house and on the same lot where: (a) the owner of the lot occupies either the main dwelling or the secondary dwelling; (b) the lot is not less than 450 square metres in area and has no potential for the development of more than one single house; and

To include a definition pertaining to Secondary Dwellings (refer Background section of Officer’s Report).

A 97

(c) the open space requirements of Table 1 are met; (d) the maximum floor area of the secondary dwelling does not exceed 100 square metres; and (e) one additional car space is provided on site.
