The history and culture of our region's 'First Nations' are being recognised in the naming of our newest park in Lathlain/Carlisle (more commonly known as Lathlain 2X Community Park, Tom Wright Park and the old Carlisle Bowling Club site).
The Town is calling on its community to choose from three selected names that have meaning to the site, using the Whadjuk Noongar people’s language.
The Mindeera Advisory Group (formerly named the Aboriginal Engagement Advisory Group) has come up with the three names and we’re seeking the community to vote for their preference.
At the initial meeting with the Mindeera Advisory Group held on the 11 November, the group provided advice on the spelling of the names. The names have now been updated to reflect this advice.
What are the three names and their meaning?
Karak-ap Park - a place of the Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo
Ngoolyak Park - the Carnaby Forest White-tailed Black Cockatoo
Koolbardi Park - the Australian Magpie
What is happening now?
A report item presented at the February 2021 Ordinary Council Meeting was resolved that Council:
1. Endorses the following place names for submission to Landgate for Landgate's consideration and formal selection of the place name for the new park situated at 64 Bishopsgate Street, Carlisle.:
a. “Koolbardi Park” as the preferred place name.
b. “Karak-ap Park” as the next preferred alternative place name.
c. Ngoolyak Park” as an alternative place name.
2. That the Town investigates the possibility to naming a structure with Zone 2X, such as the picnic pavilion, the “cluster climber” climbing frame, or nature play equipment in honour of Tom Wright.
3. Request that the Town further investigate the history of the naming of Tom Wright Reserve by the City of Perth, and that this history be recorded and some form of acknowledgement of this history be made available. That the method of historical acknowledgement is to be determined by the Town Administration.
What was the result of the community engagement?
552 votes were received with 59% voting for Koolbardi.
