Good evening Councillors, staff, ladies and gentlemen, we wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we are meeting on, the Whadjuk people. We would like to pay respect to the Elders of the Nyoongar nation, past and present, who have walked and cared for the land and we acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contributions made to the life of this city and this region and I invite you to bow your head in prayer:
Lord, We ask for your blessing upon our City, our community and our Council. Guide us in our decision making to act fairly, without fear or favour and with compassion, integrity and honesty. May we show true leadership, be inclusive of all, and guide the City of Wanneroo to a prosperous future that all may share. We ask this in your name. Amen

Questions received in writing prior to Council Meeting
Management of Wildlife between Alkimos and Jindalee Estates
Could Council please detail its policy and plan for the management of wildlife, specifically the kangaroo population, in the bushland between Alkimos and Jindalee estates as they continue to be developed and the habitat is bulldozed?
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
Land developers are required to prepare surveys of the local wildlife population and fauna habitat as part of their preparation of Local Structure Plans for their development area, to identify any wildlife likely to be impacted by the urban development of the land.
Specific measures to address the appropriate management and protection of local wildlife and associated habitat are then prepared and set out in 'Vegetation and Fauna Management Plans' and 'Conservation Area Management Plans' that are prepared by developers as part of the land development process.
These documents are generally prepared as a requirement of Local Structure Plans or as a condition of subdivision or development approval and are specific to the area being developed. They are lodged with the City for review and approval, and the landowner or developer is subsequently responsible for implementing their recommendations.
Examples of measures usually implemented to protect local wildlife and fauna habitat include:
· Identification and protection of significant trees and other significant habitat in conservation reserves or public open space;
· Relocation of local fauna to alternate approved locations prior to the clearing of land; and
· Appointment of an on-site supervisor to specifically manage and minimise any adverse impact on local fauna still present during the land clearing process.
Item PS03-09/14 Determination of Amendment No. 3 to the Drovers Place Precinct Agreed Structure Plan No. 80
In reference to the City of Wanneroo’s initial decision to oppose the usages of carwash, dry cleaning premises, hairdresser, liquor store, retail nursery and recreation centre as permitted uses under local structure plan 80-1 AND the City of Wanneroo’s agreement at SAT mediation for carwash, dry cleaning premises, retail nursery and recreation centre AND SAT’s decision to permit hairdressing and liquor store:
1. Which legal firm advised the City of Wanneroo in its unsuccessful opposition to the 6 uses detailed above?
2. What were the legal costs incurred by the City of Wanneroo in relation to all legal advice received and appearances relating to the City of Wanneroo’s unsuccessful and ill-founded opposition to the 6 uses cited above?
In reference to State Administrative Tribunal number DR306 of 2014 whereby the developer of Drover’s place retail precinct, covered by local structure plan number 80 has applied for the discretionary use of medical centre and pharmacy on lots 810 and 811 of the central precinct which is set down for an initial hearing at SAT on 3 October 2014:
3. Is this the same legal firm that provided the City of Wanneroo with advice and representation in relation to the current appeal to SAT by the developer, being SAT matter number DR306 of 2014?
4. Have the legal firm given the City of Wanneroo an assurance of a successful outcome to the City’s opposition to the developers appeal to SAT? If so, upon what basis given that the last time they advised the City to oppose the developers appeal to the SAT all 6 uses were approved either by the City of Wanneroo in mediation or by SAT in its formal Order made 25 August 2010?
5. What are the City of Wanneroo’s estimated legal costs in opposing this appeal?
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
1. The six land uses referred to in the question were proposed as part of Amendment No. 1 to (then) draft Structure Plan No. 80. When this Amendment was adopted by Council at its meeting of 6 March 2012 (PS04-03/12), it was subject to modification that resulted from only the 'hairdresser' and 'liquor store' uses being deleted. As part of this Amendment, Council supported the land uses of carwash, dry cleaning premises, retail nursery and recreation centre being included as discretionary uses.
An application for review was made by the applicant to SAT, on Council's decision not to include 'hairdresser' and 'liquor store' as discretionary uses. For this matter, the City was represented by McLeods Barristers and Solicitors. This application for review was eventually withdrawn by the applicant to allow the progression of (then) draft Structure Plan No. 80 at the WAPC.
The WAPC proceeded to consider ASP80, which it approved subject to modifications. The applicant made a further application for review at SAT on WAPC's decision not to include 'hairdresser' and 'liquor store' as discretionary uses. As part of that application for review, and following a Hearing, SAT set aside the WAPC's decision and allowed the inclusion of 'hairdresser' and 'liquor store' as discretionary uses.
At its meeting of 20 August 2013, the matter was again considered by Council (PS02-08/13). At that meeting, Council determined that the modifications required by the Western Australian Planning Commission (made through the State Administrative Tribunal as discussed above) were satisfactory. Prior to Council making this decision, Administration sought the advice of Brendon Ashdown on its options in considering the modifications required by the Western Australian Planning Commission.
2. The total legal costs incurred are $36,674.96
3. The application for review referred to in the question was lodged with SAT on 10 September 2014. The City is yet to appoint a legal firm to represent it on this matter.
4. Refer to (3) above.
5. Should the City appoint a legal representative, the legal costs would depend on the nature of SAT proceedings that occur.
Various Issues
"1. Who is the owner of the land, Lot 520 (950) Wanneroo Road?
2. Are the owners 'Bieson Pty Ltd' already the owners of a liquor store or premises in the townsite?
3. When Council looks at the 'D & P Zoning', how do you assess the amount of public interest of importance?
4. How can a Council consider the interest of police, the local member and the public who pay rates to Council who live here and also the safety to traffic using that part of Wanneroo Road on a hill?
5. The DAP want to delete the 'significant tree' adjacent to Wanneroo Road and destroy the 'amenity of townsite' against the advice of staff and the qualified advice of the arborist employed by Council.
6. How can two sitting councillors of Wanneroo, paid extra by the DAP Committee sign away the life of a healthy tree and not expect to consult with members of the public?"
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
1. This information is available by completing a request for information about owner occupiers, electors and ratepayers statutory declaration available via the City's webpage. A copy of this form has been sent to Mrs A. Hine.
2. See answer to (1) above.
3. The subject land is zoned Commercial in the Wanneroo Town Centre Agreed Structure Plan No. 23. Under the provisions of the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 public consultation is not required where a land use is permitted (P) on the subject lot. In regard to Discretionary (D) land uses, the City, where appropriate, may advertise the proposal. A Liquor Store is a discretionary use under the Wanneroo Town Centre Structure Plan. In this instance advertising for public comment was not considered necessary as a Liquor Store is considered to be an appropriate land use within the Commercial Zone and is not immediately adjacent to any sensitive land uses.
4 The land is zoned as Commercial and a Liquor Store is a land use that is legitimately capable of being approved under the City's District Planning Scheme No. 2.
5. A report was prepared by an Arborist. The Arborist report concluded that the tree was capable of being retained, however, the JDAP in considering the advice from the Arborist concluded that the tree should be removed to facilitate the development of a Liquor Store on the subject site.
6. There are no statutory requirements to undertake community consultation in considering an application for a Liquor Store in the Commercial zone.
Questions received at the Council Meeting
Various Issues
What study has been done to evaluate the outcome of the management plan for the marina with the extension of the sea wall at first being 50 metres and then to 80 metres and the groynes being installed, what will be the outcome for the marina entrance? Will it silt up and need to be dredged on a continuous basis?
Response by Director Infrastructure
Taken on notice.
Further Response by Director Planning and Sustainability
The existing coastal management study presents a number of coastal management options at a conceptual level and further assessment and detailed design is required prior to implementation. Accretion of sediment at the marina entrance is not expected to become an issue as a result of the seawall and groyne construction to the north of the marina; however this will be investigated and confirmed during the detailed design of the coastal management option.
Item PS04-09/14 Initiation of Advertising for Amendment No. 140 – Rezoning of Lot 4 & 5 Morning Drive, Mariginiup
Currently live at the Lake Joondalup Lifestyle Village however husband has a broken back and other medical issues and would like to go to the Carramar Village because it is going to be wheelchair friendly and on one level. Failing this if he ended up in a wheel chair he would have to go into a nursing home and therefore we would be separated.
Response by Mayor Roberts
Taken as a statement.
Item CD01-09/14 Oldham Reserve – Building Extension – Financial and Resource Capacity
1. If the recommendation was adopted, how long would the process take to engage an additional staff member before that person could begin working on the Oldham project?
Response by Director Infrastructure
The applications for a similar position have just closed and depending on the quality of applicants it could be considered as part of that process to appoint the second preferred applicant provided that person is prepared to accept a twelve month. Therefore there is an opportunity probably within the next 3-4 weeks subject to Council's resolution tonight to make an appointment with a starting time subject to negotiations with the applicant. Alternatively, the position will need to be advertised, with up to eight weeks to complete the recruitment process.
2. Will the engagement of the additional staff member be timely to manage the project internally if adopted?
Response by Director Infrastructure
This position would manage the Oldham project along with 5-6 other projects, so it would be as required to manage all stages of the project, including the development application and approval processes, building licence, appointment of the design consultant, construction tender process and contract administration.
3. Would the one third contribution by the community be a contribution in kind?
Response by Director Community Development
An in-kind contribution would only be considered if it is provided by a licensed contractor; for example if there was a tender process and the club had access to a contractor who was able to do that work and would donate their time or would supervise the work of volunteers to a suitable standard. Council does not allow volunteer work on contracts where there are legislative requirements to meet.
Various items
1. Could we have a regular clean up of Quinns Beach?
Response by Director Infrastructure
Currently going through the process of receiving quotes to engage a contractor to do those works. Hoping to have the contractor in place in the next fortnight.
2. Is there chance of our ocean pool being installed?
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
The current situation is that consultants have been engaged to investigate the feasibility of a pool and are awaiting the final report being reporting back to Council.
Item PS01-09/14 Adoption of Proposed Hainsworth Local Structure Plan No. 98
1. Police statistics on criminal activity show that it increases around laneways whereas in the agenda it states there is no such evidence.
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
Administration is not aware of any evidence concerning the dangers associated with laneways.
2. Would like to have seen a bigger public open space which was declined due to nearby Roydon Park which is very littered and no suitable for families and another park 200 metres away, which is correct if a direct route otherwise 1 kilometre to all the facilities.
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
Concerning public open space within the development there is 808 square metres, which is a small area as proposed within the development site. There is Roydon Park which is 5,100 square metres immediately to the south of the proposed development site and Hainsworth Park which is 4.6 hectares in area which is at its nearest point around 100 metres. Administration's view is that within the area generally there is an over provision about the 10% requirement as provided for by the Western Australian Planning Commission within that area. Given the proximity of the existing parks and the over provision it is Administration's view that the proposal is acceptable on that basis.
3. Whilst understand public open space may not be able to be increased, would like to have seen a small playground, this was also stated as not feasible. However have seen a couple of small playgrounds in Mt Hawthorn which included a small climbing frame and a couple of little rockers.
Response by Director Infrastructure
Taken on notice.
Further Response by Director Community Development
The provision of play equipment within public open space of this nature is facilitated through the City's New Playground Installations Program in the 10 Year Capital Works Budget. This program is considered annually within the City's budget process. Presently parks are listed through to 2016 and Roydon Park would have to be considered for inclusion after that date. The assessment would include consideration of priority against similar areas of public open space and consider the residential population within the area and proximity of existing infrastructure.
Item IN01-09/14 Two Rocks Coastal Management
1. Will Council write to the developers to make them fully aware of the erosion issue?
Response by Director Infrastructure
Administration will write to developers.
2. Does Council intend to voice any opposition to future or potential marinas given the existing erosion issues?
Response by Chief Executive Officer
Ms Sangalli is welcome to write to the government or local member to express her view. Our Planning and Sustainability directorate is looking at coastal management stage 2 plan and will examine those issues through that and incorporate in their report to Council.
3. Will Council write seeking developer contribution towards future erosion from the Department of Planning?
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
Administration is not proposing to write to the Department of Planning on this matter as they do not have any authority to mandate financial contributions from developers towards the cost of managing future erosion north of the Two Rocks Marina.
4. Will the coastal management plan for the entire coastline be ready prior to titles being issued to land buyers along the coast north of Two Rocks?
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
In relation to the Coastal Risk Management and adaption plan the timing of that is that Administration are going out to consultants in the near future to undertake that work. It is estimated that this would take approximately six months to complete. Do not have the information of when titles are like to be issued in Two Rocks to compare the timing.
Item PS04-09/14 Initiation of Advertising for Amendment No. 140 – Rezoning of Lot 4 & 5 Mornington Drive, Mariginiup
1. In view of the extent of the East Wanneroo Road area and the range of different areas and their readiness for rezoning, will Council reconsider the clause in the rezoning policy which stipulates that Council will not support the rezoning of small areas.
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
There is no current intention to review the clauses within the policy as this was only recently adopted by Council in May 2014.
2. Do the owners of land that is available for rezoning and doesn't have any impediments still have to wait until the whole area is ready for rezoning and if so how long would that be?
Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
Council's position as articulated in the report is the intention that there will be a MRS Amendment for two areas, one to the north of Dundebar Road, one to the south of Dundebar Road. This would then be followed by District Structure Plan with developer contributions plans. It is not Council's current intention to enable ad hoc piece meal proposals to be developed within the East Wanneroo area.
Item PS04-09/14 Initiation of Advertising for
Amendment No. 140 – Rezoning of Lot
4 & 5 Mornington Drive, Mariginiup
1. Can you provide the boundaries by way of road names for the areas of land referred to being north of Dundebar Road and south of Dundebar Road, that Council would like to progress as whole entitles?
2. How many square kilometres approximately does each of these land areas occupy?
3. What would be the timeline for an MRS Amendment to urban for the land north of Dundebar Road and south of Dundebar Road?
4. What are the current inherent problems and barriers that prevent each of these areas being rezoned to urban?
5. Are these barriers currently being resolved?
6. Why do areas that don't have these barriers, for example, relatively small areas abutting an established residential area with no infrastructure and servicing constraints (in other words in nature to the lots on Dundebar Road), have to wait while problems with the whole larger land concept, to be solved before they can be supported in an Amendment from Rural to Urban?
Response from Mayor Roberts
Taken on notice.
Further Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability
1. The areas concerned are those designated as 'potential urban' on the East Wanneroo Structure Plan.
Many of the inferred boundaries of these areas are not roads and it is therefore not possible to provide a simple, text-based description of these boundaries. The inferred boundaries of these areas in relation to property boundaries can be much more readily indicated on a plan and an appointment may be made with Administration to arrange this.
2. Area north of Dundebar Road: approx 12.5 sq km
Area south of Dundebar Road: approx 10.5 sq km
3. LPP 5.3 does not involve a substantial amount of information having to be provided in the applications for the MRS amendments. It might require only about a month to prepare the sort of application envisaged by LPP 5.3. The timing will also depend on how quickly the landowner groups involved, through their consultants, can initiate preparation of the applications.
Once the applications have been submitted to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), the timing then depends on how quickly the WAPC and the Minister for Planning can process the amendments i.e.: prepare the amendments; advertise for submissions; report on submissions; decide on final approval. Amendments of this type can take at least two years, and often a lot longer than that.
4. The current problem with each of these areas being rezoned to Urban is that the WAPC and the DoP have reservations regarding the process proposed under LPP 5.3.
5. The City is now engaging closely with the WAPC and the DoP to resolve this.
6. Administration report PS05-09/14 regarding proposed MRS Amendment 1263/57 (Dundebar Road), under the 'Comment' heading, describes five problems which such ad hoc, piecemeal proposals present. These can be summarised as:
a) They set a precedent for further ad hoc, piecemeal planning, rather than a comprehensive planning approach being taken. Assessment of such piecemeal applications can also involve a large amount of resourcing by City and State planning and other agencies;
b) They discourage the collaboration required between landowner groups and their consultants to prepare the two applications for MRS amendment, DPS 2 amendment and District Structure Plan (DSP) required under LPP 5.3;
c) They involve WAPC requiring the City to prepare DSPs for the area. This is contrary to the LPP 5.3 approach, and previous WAPC advice that preparation of planning proposals for these areas should be the responsibility of the landowners;
d) They involve the WAPC only requiring preparation of DSPs and Bushfire Hazard Assessments prior to lifting of deferment. Local Structure Plans (LSPs) and Development Contribution Plans (DCP) are also required; and
e) They do not allow the City to implement a proper accreditation and accounting system to handle subsequent claims for DCP credits.
How long does it take to receive answers for questions taken on notice?
Response by Mayor Roberts
Hopefully within the week.
Can you explain why I have waited nearly three months for an answer to my questions on 27 May 2014?
Response by Chief Executive Officer
Will investigate.
Further Response by A/Director Corporate Strategy & Performance
A response to Ms Coughlan's question was provided in the
Ordinary Council Meeting Minutes of 25 May and 27 June 2014. This
information was re-forwarded via email to
Ms Coughlan on 17 September 2014.
Item CB04-09/14 Dog Exercise Areas and Places Where Dogs Are Prohibited
Is it possible to have Fred Stubbs Grove formally renamed to either Park or Reserve to reflect its current form?
Response by Mayor Roberts
Council has a process for such renaming and advised it be submitted in writing to the Chief Executive Officer.
