Closure of Gnangara Road

Why was Gnangara Road west from Priest Road closed?

Response by Director Infrastructure

Gnangara Road (old alignment) was closed west of Priest Road in accordance with the East Wanneroo Structure Plan for the area, with Gnangara Road realigned and connected to link in with the new Ocean Reef Road/Sydney Road traffic signal controlled intersection.  Gnangara Road then heads south at this interception and reconnects to its original alignment at a new roundabout intersection with Mirrabooka Avenue (formerly Madeley Street).  The section of Gnangara Road closed west of Priest Road will form part of the local road network as subdivisional development immediately to the north of this section of road advances.

This revised road layout is in keeping with the arterial road network outlined as part of the overall structure planning for the East Wanneroo area and further provides a direct east/west regional link from the City of Wanneroo to the City of Swan in the east and the City of Joondalup (Marmion Avenue and the Mitchell Freeway) in the west.

Gnangara Road Speed Limit and Realignment

a)      Why has the speed limit of Gnangara Road, west of Hartman Drive, not been reduced from 70km/h as it is now a built-up residential area and the Ocean Reef Road extension is now complete?

b)      Is Council aware that Main Roads has approached the City of Wanneroo to reconsider the speed limit of Gnangara Road, west of Hartman Drive, as requested by the Honourable Troy Buswell, and still have not received a response?

c)      When will the proposed Gnangara Road Realignment with Whitfords Avenue be considered?

Response by Director Infrastructure

a)      The City has previously agreed to consider a request to Main Roads for a reduction in the speed limit between Klaraborg Drive and Wanneroo Road after community consultation to determine the wishes of all road users.

          Gnangara Road between Wanneroo Road and Hartman Drive remains a District Distributor Road A in the City’s Functional Road Hierarchy.  Additionally, Gnangara Road between Hartman Drive and Klaraborg Drive and the proposed deviation between Klaraborg Drive and Whitfords Avenue are shown as an Other Regional Road in the Metropolitan Region Scheme.

          As redevelopment has occurred along Gnangara Road it has been developed as a controlled access road with no direct access from adjoining properties.  Controlled access roads of this classification and function typically have a posted speed limit of 70km/h.

          Since the extension of Ocean Reef Road the traffic volumes on Gnangara Road east of Wanneroo Road have dropped significantly from 15,200vpd in April 2004 to 4,800vpd in March 2012.

b)      The City is in receipt of a letter from Main Roads WA referring a request from the Local Member for Wanneroo on behalf of Mr Nikola to the Minister for Transport.  The City has not responded since Council has not yet considered the matter.

c)      Funding has been listed in the draft 2012/2013 Roadworks Capital Works Program for the design and documentation of the Gnangara Road realignment with Whitfords Avenue.  The construction program will be dependent on finalisation of the acquisition of land and all service authority/environmental approvals based on the final approved design.  These processes can take anywhere from two to three years to resolve.

Statement –  PS12-05/12 Proposed Commercial Development at Lot 19 (20) Clarkson                Avenue, Tapping

Council officers have recommended conditional approval for the development and my client supports the officers recommendation.  Issues have been raised by another party objecting to the proposal, specifically relating to two issues.  The first being the process utilised by the
Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and Council in adopting the amendment to the agreed Local Structure Plan which created the commercial zone applicable to the subject site and the second being in relation to financial contributions towards possible future traffic lights.

In relation to the first issue, I am of the view that both the WAPC and Council acted appropriately and in accordance with their powers.   The issue which concerns the objector relates to the fact that the subject land holding was originally identified as a local centre, however ultimately it has been endorsed as a commercial zone.  It is important to note that this change has had no material difference or influence on the nature of the land uses permissible on the site.  Had the land been included in the local centres zone then an additional structure plan would have been required just for the subject site in isolation.  The Structure Plan would effectively have been a development application and would simply represent a doubling up of process.  The development application has been advertised for public comment and the objector has had an opportunity to provide a submission which they have done, they have not been disadvantaged in any way. 

The question of traffic lights has also been raised.  It is important to note that development of the subject site has never been linked to the provision of traffic lights at the intersection of Clarkson Avenue and Wanneroo Road.  This has only arisen as a possible means to address the difficulties associated with access into the Drovers Place site.  

To that extent we understand that the Draft Drovers Place Structure Plan No. 80 identifies that should Drovers Place be developed for commercial purposes, then the proponents of that commercial development would be required to facilitate the provision of traffic signals.  The WAPC had queried if contributions towards the traffic signals would possibly be required from all land owners within the Drovers Place development but they have never suggested any further or wider application of contributions towards traffic signals.  The current proposal being considered by you tonight does not necessitate or justify the need for traffic signals.  A detailed traffic engineering assessment has been undertaken which has been reviewed by both Main Roads WA and the City’s engineers. 

The assessment confirms that the development of the subject  site does not trigger a need for traffic signals.  The proponents of the Drovers Place development are simply attempting to get my client to contribute towards the cost of rectifying their own access difficulties into their site and this is not appropriate.  The development and proposal before you is relatively straightforward and having worked closely with Council staff on the development we believe the proposal represents a good outcome and therefore support the officers’ recommendation and hence also request your support. 

CR04-05/12         Proposed Commercial Development – Lot 1061 (2) Captiva Approach,                                Butler – DA2011/799

a)      Is Council aware that if the proposed development is allowed to go ahead, including        McDonalds, the projected vehicle movement in the area, ie access roads, will be           approximately 500 vehicles per day above the limit which is deemed to be 3,000 per          day? McDonalds itself will attract 50% of this number of vehicles.

b)      Should the development as a whole be now reconsidered to downsize business in this    area, thus downsizing the vehicle numbers? 

c)      What does Council propose to do regarding this issue?

Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

Those matters will be addressed this evening after Council’s consideration of the confidential item.  In terms of the matter being considered by Council the State Administrative Tribunal has invited Council to reconsider its previous decision to approve the overall development in light of additional information submitted by McDonalds, so any decision by Council tonight will relate to the previous decision that Council has been invited to reconsider.

PS09-05/12         Proposed Amendment No. 75 to District Planning Scheme No. 2 –                                       Rezoning of Lot 54 (144) Emerald Drive, Carabooda

a)      Considering all the matters raised in our application, addressed in the Briefing and the     deputation before Council, can you advise that if the application is approved tonight         what is the single most negative outcome from the City of Wanneroo perspective?

b)      Considering that there is a serious threat to life in the Emerald Valley estate, and the       cost implications to the City’s ratepayers, can you advise that if the Council did approve     the rezoning subdivision tonight, what would be the single best outcome from the        Council’s perspective?

Response by Mayor Roberts

That cannot be answered until Council has made a resolution this evening.

Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

a)      The answer can be summarised from the four reasons for refusal that Administration have set out on page 225 of the Agenda. The reasons would be that in Administration’s view the proposal would be premature and prejudicial  to the overall planning of the area as well as inconsistent with Council’s two previous decisions to not make such decisions until further planning is undertaken within the broader East Wanneroo area which were made in December 2007 and reaffirmed by Council again in April 2011 and counter to Council’s decision to not make decisions till planning is concluded for the area.

b)      Council is not being requested to consider a subdivision application, they are dealt with by Administration under delegated authority.  Council is being asked to consider a potential rezoning of a property under DPS2.  If that rezoning were to occur as the landowners have set out, then in an exchange for the rezoning occurring and then eventually being provided with subdivision potential, through the subdivision process, they would ultimately be gifting to the City or providing through various means, emergency access/egress for the Emerald Estate out of the road to the south. 

PS09-05/12         Proposed Amendment No. 75 to District Planning Scheme No. 2 –                                       Rezoning of Lot 54 (144) Emerald Drive, Carabooda

a)      In regards to the assessment of the Bushfire Management Plan why was the western     access out to Bernard Road excluded after it was assessed by the fire experts and   excluded by the planning recommendation?

b)      If that process was undertaken, I assume a resumption process would be involved,        which would require the acquisition of land and associated compensation and building       of costs in preparing that, have you set a broad framework in regards to a budget that      can be advised to Councillors before they make their decision tonight?

Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

a)      Recommendation 2 on pg 225 requires Administration to investigate the provision of emergency access route between Emerald Drive and Safari Place, it doesn’t refer to investigation of an emergency access/egress road from Emerald Drive through to Georgjemma Place and eventually Bernard Road.  Happy to take instruction from Council to include that additional access/egress arrangement in our review or broader analysis of emergency access/egress provisions through the area and that can occur outside of any proposal to rezone the Scheme.

b)      Whether a resumption process would or would not be involved is yet to be determined, that is why the recommendation specifically requires Administration to investigate the establishment of such an emergency access route and to provide a further report back to Council on any detailed proposal and funding mechanism for that route to be achieved.

CB04-05/12         Wanneroo BMX Raceway Club inc – Extension of Lease over Portion                                 of Lot 51 (176) Mary Street, Pearsall

As President of Wanneroo BMX club I want to thank Council in advance for a positive vote in accordance with the recommendations of Administration and request that Council consider additional funding for the Club given that in the past couple of years the relocation of the Club has not been ascertained, making sponsorship for the Club difficult to obtain and the Club has gone into disrepair.  The Club has produced a number of world champions, one being an Olympian at the last Beijing Olympics. 

Response by Mayor Roberts

Council will explore this possibility in the next round of budgeting to  2013/2014.

IN01-05/12           Regents Estates – Backshall Place, Wanneroo – Partial Road Closure                                at Intersection with Ocean Reef Road

a)      Bowmore Road in Regents Waters has a 40m section between Kelty and Crieff Gardens which is very narrow and when residents park diagonally other vehicles could not fit through.  It is legal parking but in a similar instance in Melville, the Council put a yellow line to say no parking on that side of the street, to allow vehicles to get past by restricting parking to only one side of the street.  Could something like that be done here?

b)      Can the local traffic police be asked to provide temporary fixed or moveable video monitoring of the intersections of James Spiers Drive and Tyne Crescent and also Backshall and Ocean Reef Road to address the situation of the illegal movements through there?  Vehicles drive on the wrong side of the road every day.

c)      When Council approves the closure tonight of Backshall and Ocean Reef Road and the recommendation to put traffic modifications on James Spiers and Tyne Crescent, what type of speed bump will be used?   

Response by Mayor Roberts

b)      Will investigate the traffic issues and will be happy to raise your concerns with Superintendent Charlie Carver.

Response by Director, Infrastructure

c)      Administration will be recommending rubber speed cushions.  A number of trials have been conducted throughout the City and it was found they have been very efficient in reducing speed.  Residents who were asked if they supported having speed cushions in front of their homes, including additional lighting, were happy to do so to address the speeding problems in their street.

Further Response by Director, Infrastructure

a)      Administration will investigate parking between Kelty Road and Crieff Gardens and take any necessary action.

IN01-05/12           Regents Estates – Backshall Place, Wanneroo – Partial Road Closure                                at Intersection with Ocean Reef Road

Last week at the Briefing Session it was indicated that the road closure was permanent, why is it open for discussion again.  Some residents in the Estate got a notification in the post box very selectively delivered by Ms Anthony who purports to be representing the majority of the Estate, how can she purport to represent the majority of the residents?  How can the Council take this on board in making a decision affecting the people on those roads? 

Response by Mayor Roberts

We cannot answer those questions.

That Council ADOPTS the revised Light Vehicle Fleet Policy as follows:

Light Vehicle Fleet Policy

Policy Owner:    Infrastructure

Contact Person:          Manager Asset Management

Date of Approval:    

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that processes are in place to manage the City’s light vehicle fleet  relating to replacement intervals, purchasing and disposal methods.

POLICY STATEMENT

To minimise vehicle ownership costs to the City in line with industry best practice, whilst ensuring provision of a suitable fleet for use by staff to undertake their duties and to provide maximum perceived value in employment packages. This includes an option for the CEO to negotiate with Directors and Managers for them to ‘cash out’ the City provided vehicle component of their employment contracts and provide their own vehicles for business purposes.

SCOPE

To guide Administration in determining appropriate vehicles for the City to purchase for use by its employees.

The requirements of this Policy do not cover the provision of a suitable vehicle to the CEO or Mayor due to relevant Employment Contract and Policy provisions set by Council.

BACKGROUND

The City of Wanneroo owns and operates a light vehicle fleet comprising of passenger and light commercial vehicles that are used for a combination of work and private use as part of an agreed employment package. The Light Vehicle Fleet policy is used to determine the performance of the vehicles provided, changeover period and method of purchase and disposal.

CONSULTATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS

Amendments to the policy were carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the City’s internal Fleet Management Steering Group.

IMPLICATIONS

Purchasing Method

Light vehicles shall be purchased in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy. 

Disposal Method

In the main, light vehicles should be disposed of via auction at a public auction house or trade in (like brand for like brand) where this is expected to give a higher return. Vehicles may also be sold by the tender process in order to gauge resale values by this method.

Vehicle Specification/Class

The selection of vehicle class and specification should consider safety, environmental impact and whole of life cost to the City.

Colour

Safety considerations and the vehicles working environment should determine the most appropriate colour for a vehicle. All operational vehicles are to be supplied in white. Private use vehicles may be coloured and consideration may also be given by the Executive Management Team to the supply of coloured vehicles that have limited private use.

Safety

The Australian Government operates the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) and gives each tested vehicle a rating from zero to five stars. Where ANCAP has not rated a vehicle, the safety rating from the European NCAP or American NCAP can be used for an equivalent make and model. Only passenger vehicles with 5-star ratings will be purchased. In respect to light commercial vehicles, including vans and utilities, the City will only select vehicles with a minimum 4-star ANCAP rating. This will be subject to further review as more light commercial vehicles are provided with a 5-star rating.

Environmental

The Australian Government provides a Greenhouse Vehicle Guide that provides information on carbon dioxide (CO²) and the air pollution standard to which vehicles have been certified. The overall green vehicle guide star rating is based on the combined score of air pollution and CO². Passenger vehicle purchase shall have a minimum score of 3.5-star. The green vehicle guide score will be considered when purchasing operational vehicles.

Replacement Intervals

Vehicles will be replaced at appropriate intervals to minimise whole of life costs. This will take into account the class of vehicle, operational needs and the second hand vehicle market. The Fleet Management Steering Group will review the replacement intervals as appropriate .

MANAGEMENT

The Fleet Management Steering Group will make recommendations to the Executive Management Team regarding vehicle selection, allocation and replacement intervals and in accordance with the Corporate Management Procedure,  “Motor Vehicle Management Procedure” .

That Council:-

1.       ADVISES the applicants R & J Burnett, that it is not prepared to initiate proposed Amendment No. 75 to District Planning Scheme No. 2 to rezone lot 54 (144) Emerald Drive, Carabooda from Rural Resource to Special Rural for the following reasons:

a)      Support for this proposal would be premature in respect to the requirement of the Future of East Wanneroo report for further detailed local planning to be undertaken for the ‘small rural lot subdivision/landscape protection area’ proposed by that report for the western parts of the Nowergup and Carabooda localities;

          b)      Council has resolved to prepare Amendment No. 121 to District Planning Scheme No. 2 to rezone the western portions of the Nowergup and Carabooda localities to Landscape Enhancement.  A Local Planning Policy is intended to be prepared to guide the preparation of a more detailed planning framework for the area, to inform preparation and consideration of more detailed planning proposals including structure plan, development and subdivision proposals.  Support for this proposal prior to the preparation of the proposed broader planning framework would be premature and may prejudice the preparation of that framework in a proper manner;   

          c)      Council resolved at its meeting of 11 December 2007 (and this was reaffirmed at Council’s meeting of 5 April 2011) not to support any independent planning proposals, including rezoning proposals associated with rural small lot subdivision, which may be viewed as premature in relation to the further detailed local planning to be undertaken for the western parts of the Nowergup and Carabooda localities pursuant to the Future of East Wanneroo report.  This rezoning proposal is viewed as premature in this regard;

          d)      It would set an undesirable precedent for consideration of other similar applications which may be made prior to the preparation of the broader planning framework required for this area;

2.       REQUIRES Administration to investigate the establishment of an emergency access route to link the northern ends of Emerald Drive and Safari Place, Carabooda, and to undertake consultation on the same with affected landowners, with a further report being presented to Council on a detailed proposal and funding mechanism for the route.
