Item 2 Apologies and Leave of Absence
MAUREEN GRIERSON South Ward
There were five members of the public and two members of the press in attendance.
Mayor Kelly declared the meeting open at 7.00pm.
Public Questions Received Prior to Council Meeting
Why hasn’t the Drovers precinct been approved for recreational use? As the owner of a personal training studio looking to expand into the Drovers precinct area, can advice be provided on whether such an application could be submitted or is the decision final?
Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability
The existing Structure Plan No. 47 (SP 47) that applies to the Drovers Place area provides for only a limited range of land uses to occur. SP 47 does not currently permit a gymnasium in the Drovers Place area. A gymnasium is classified as a “recreation centre” under the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2.
The City has prepared draft Structure Plan No. 80 (SP 80) to replace SP 47, which is intended to allow a broader range of land uses to occur in the Drovers Place area than what is currently permitted under SP 47. Council last considered SP 80 at its February 2011 meeting and required certain modifications to be made to the plan before readvertising it for public comment. One modification was to remove “recreation centre” from the list of uses permitted within the central precinct of the Drovers Place area. During readvertising of SP 80 submissions were received to re-introduce that use as an allowable use in the central precinct.
Administration is aiming to present SP 80 to Council for final consideration at its August 2011 meeting, at which time Council would need to consider the submissions received and make a decision on the structure plan and any modifications required to it. |

REQUESTS the WA Police to undertake additional speed enforcement of vehicles using Monet Drive and Carosa Road, Ashby; and 3. ADVISES the petition organiser of Council’s decision. LAPSED FOR WANT OF A MOVER Alternative Motion Moved Cr Newton, Seconded Cr Monks That Council:- 1. SUPPORTS the installation of temporary speed cushions on the approaches to the roundabout at the intersection of Monet Drive and Carosa Road, Ashby at an estimated cost of $20,000, to be funded from Account PR 1948 – Miscellaneous Traffic Management;

Reason for Alternative Motion
The 85%ile vehicle speeds and number of accidents that have occurred at this junction indicate that the City should take some action. The speed cushions are appropriate as they could be removed at a later date as traffic volumes increase and vehicles speeds reduce once subdivision of the entire suburb is completed. |
