Closure of Club Capricorn Resort, Yanchep

As a small business owner I use the facilities at Club Capricorn for festivals and workshops, in addition to this my clients come from all over Western Australia and stay at the resort.   The closure is wrong on so many levels and I thought that the City of Wanneroo would have done more to stop the closure and liaise with the landowners on behalf of the public. 

My questions are as follows:-

1.         What is the Councils’ opinion with regard to the shortage of coastal camping resorts with closure of Club Capricorn Resort in Yanchep which will greatly affect tourism in the area?

Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

The Council is aware of the need to maintain a diverse local economy within the northern growth corridor, and sees Tourism development as an important component of this.  In this regard the approved Local Structure Plan (No 44) for Capricorn Coastal Village includes a Precinct identified for Hotel and Tourism Development.  Furthermore, the City is also actively seeking to redevelop its caravan park at Quinns Rocks, to ultimately provide serviced sites for caravans, campervans, RV’s and a limited number of park homes for short stay visitors.  The City is also planning to undertake a tourism land use study to identify the most appropriate locations and associated tourism activities within the City within the second half of this year.

2.         Why is a local amenity changing without public consultation?

Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

Ultimately, any decisions about the closure of the Club Capricorn Resort are made on a private commercial basis by the operators of that site. The City, will, however, continue to work with the owners and developers of the site to seek to achieve a redevelopment that incorporates appropriate Tourism facilities.

Cycling and safety issues

Currently working as a psychologist in the Coastal Ward and addressing social issues in the area by engaging children in sport.  As well as being a qualified Aus-Kick and Modified Rules Coach, tonight am representing, as president and coach, the Northern Beaches Cycling Club.  As there are no cycling facilities in the Northern suburbs, children’s safety is put at risk.  They are currently training in carparks and the open road each week.

1.         How have you assessed the needs of the various sporting groups in the Coastal Ward?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

The City of Wanneroo SmartClubs, Club Development Program is designed to assist sport and recreation groups to operate sustainably, efficiently and successfully. An annual survey is conducted to assess the needs of clubs in terms of facility planning, governance, training requirements and funding. In addition City officers regularly meet and correspond with sporting clubs to determine their requirements.

2.         In the Coastal Ward, is the Council satisfied that they have adequately consulted all sporting groups in formulating its budget allocation this year?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Throughout the City, all facility requests, both for rehabilitation of existing and/or the provision of new facilities, are investigated. Where needs and feasibility can be demonstrated, these are listed for consideration in the City’s Draft Capital Works Program Budget and then prioritised alongside other requests of a similar nature.

3.         How and when did these consultations occur?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

The City has met with a number of sporting groups in relation to sporting needs in the coastal corridor including the Northern Beaches Cycle Club in relation to facilities within the Alkimos development.  Meetings with sporting clubs have been face to face, through email correspondence, club workshops and community consultation depending upon the needs of each of the sporting groups.

4.         Does your new project funding reflect a fair and equitable allocation of funds to address the needs of all grassroots facilities across the Coastal Ward?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Please refer to response for Question 2.

5.         My experience of Local Government is that cycling is considered as solely a transportation issue.  Does the Council recognise that cycling is a well populated junior and senior recreational and sporting activity?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

The City considers cycling to be a recreational sport as well as a transport mode. Based on the community consultation conducted as part of the current development of the City’s Cycle Plan, there is clear evidence that there is a well populated cycle club within the City. Furthermore, the Wheeled Sport and Equestrian co-location review conducted in 2011 by the City highlighted a trend that cycling is a growing sport and the need for appropriate recreational cycling facilities to be provided in the northern areas of Wanneroo to cater for population growth. As part of the Cycle Plan development, three Community Workshops were held which included the participation of the Northern Beaches Cycle Club. The final draft of the Cycle Plan, which is due for completion early in June 2015, will be available again for community comment potentially in the middle of June 2015.

6.         The safety of our children is paramount and I ask Council if you will commit to allocate funds in this year’s budget for the safety and protection of junior cyclists?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

As part of the development of the City’s cycle plan, community consultation has been started this year through community workshops, one of which was held in Butler.  Question taken on notice so can address in more detail.

Further Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

The City’s Cycle Plan considers all elements of cycling including the safety of junior cyclists across the City. Three proposed actions, specifically related to the safety of junior recreational cyclist  that are currently included in the draft, are:

a)         The City to investigate the development of a recreational cycling facility within the northern corridor (Joondalup/ Wanneroo);

b)         The City to conduct a study to identify appropriate interim sites for recreational cycle training and events within the City along with the development of template Traffic Management plans for these activities for use by cycling clubs; and

c)         Improve cycling participation in schools by offering cycle training for those schools that participate in Travelsmart to Schools Program or similar travel behaviour change programs.

7.         Can we get an answer to any of the questions tonight?  There is an urgent need for the allocation of funds, not in the future, but is an immediate and pressing need?

Response by Mayor Roberts

The questions have been taken on notice and the A/Director will provide you with an informed detailed response in the minutes.

Erosion and land issues

1.         Following erosion issues and the plights of the people in Seabird, does the City of Wanneroo contain any unallocated or unspecified land along its coast, and if so can the City provide details?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director, Corporate Strategy & Performance

The coastal area of the City contains Crown land under the control of the City, Crown land not under control of the City and a small parcel of freehold (Quinns Rocks) held by the City as well as freehold in private hands.

2.         Is relinquishing the management of foreshore reserves something the Council can do easily and without public consultation?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director, Corporate Strategy & Performance

The City cannot relinquish Crown reserves without the approval of the Minister for Lands.

3.         Has the City provided any comment to the Department of Transport on the draft Review of the Coastal Adaption and Protection Policy, particularly addressing the increased responsibility on Local Government?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

This policy came out a few years ago and comment was not provided at that time. It is a State Government policy on coastal adaption along the WA coastline and it is mainly to define the responsibility of various local government or other coastal managers.

4.         There is no bus embayment in front of Quinns Baptist Highschool and a Transperth bus is stopping in the middle of Salerno Drive to pick up school students which is heavily impacting on traffic in the area.  Would the City of Wanneroo do an audit of the bus stops at all local schools t make sure there are adequate bus embayments for all of them and is this a Council issue or is it a PTA issue?

Response by Mayor Roberts

The City has regular dialogue with the Department of Transport in relation to bus bays and bus stops, especially along Marmion Avenue in the Alkimos area at the moment.

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

The City’s Road Safety and Travelsmart Officer works with the local schools to identify road safety issues and these are investigated and prioritised for consideration by Council.  This is the current procedure.

5.         Is it possible to get the contact details of this officer?

Response by A/Director, Infrastructure

Yes, will ask the Road Safety Officer to contact you.

6.         Thank you for reopening the submission regarding the Butler Liquor Store, however the word “existing” has been removed from the development sign and replaced with the word “approved”.  Does this mean the City feels that:-

a)          they have reliably informed its residents that by using the word “approved” without further explanation that the public have understood that only the use of the land has been approved and not the actual liquor licence? 

b)          by placing the development application signage at the back of the premises that records the least amount of traffic, that a true opinion has been recorded? 

c)          by not using the shopfront of the applicant that all affected residents using this shopping centre have been captured, including those using the ACROD parking bays and the pedestrian traffic having to cross the exit where the proposed bottleshop is to be located?

Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

a)               The use of the word ‘approved’ in the advertisement placed by the City refers to the fact that the Liquor Store has been approved by Council.  A Liquor Licence is obtained from the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor and not from the City, and it would be improper for the City to refer to the progress of the Liquor Licence application when advertising an application for planning approval.

b)     & c) The City is satisfied that reasonable notice has been provided and that a true opinion has been recorded.

The advertising sign was placed at an entrance to the car park closest to the subject tenancy which enabled all vehicles and pedestrians using this entrance to view the sign on entry to the shopping centre.  In addition, letters were sent to landowners of properties on Tarpon Link and Captiva Approach adjacent to the shopping centre.  Whilst it can always be suggested that advertising of the proposal could be improved, I believe that the community has been given reasonable opportunity to comment in this case.

Dual use path between Burns Beach and Mindarie

1.         A petition is being presented with over 600 signatures requesting the construction of a shared path along the coast between Burns Beach and Mindarie.  This has been in the development stage for many years now, when will this project be started?

Response by Mayor Roberts

This has been addressed for a number of years and have had petitions with over 1,000 signatures.  The City of Wanneroo, the City of Joondalup and the State Government each contributed $50,000 towards a study for the effectiveness of a dual use path between Burns Beach to Mindarie and this will be addressed more under Mayoral announcements this evening.

Further Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

The study was completed in 2013 and proposed two possible alignments for the path, both of which sit outside of the foreshore reserve.  The Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) have advised that they are not in a position to progress the pathway until the land parcels which make up the proposed Tamala Park Conservation Park are formally transferred to the Conservation Commission of Western Australia (CCWA) and a Management Plan for the Conservation Park prepared. 

One of the large parcels of land is currently owned by PEET limited, and this won't be transferred until the last stages of subdivision for the Burns Beach Estate have been completed. It may be some time before this occurs.  The City has been liaising with the City of Joondalup to lobby State Government to progress the preparation of Management Plan in advance of land being transferred so that construction of the dual use path can commence as soon as possible once the land has been transferred.

2.         Could the City investigate if lighting could be installed along the footpath from Portofino’s to the Marina in Mindarie for night time and safety reasons?

          Response by Mayor Roberts

          Question taken on notice.

          Further Response by Director, Community Development

The City will need to conduct further investigation into this matter and provide a final response once the investigation has been completed.

PS08-05/15 Single House Additions (Garage, Retaining Wall and Front Fence) DA2015/448 at Lot 204 (85) High Road, Wanneroo

In relation to PS08-05/15 a building application was submitted in February 2014, the building was started in April but the application was refused by Planning in August, however the building was finished in November 2014.  In February 2015 it was resubmitted for approval and a retrospective building licence.  With any other development application is it alright to build it and then seek a retrospective building licence if it had been refused previously?

Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

At the moment the current process requires a triple fee for these retrospective applications and this is on the basis of deterrent against commencement of development without approval.  My personal view is that is not effective enough.  The draft compliance procedure on tonight’s Agenda suggests a more robust approach to compliance than has occurred in the past.

1.         Ordinary Council Meeting held on 28 April 2015 be confirmed; and

Carried Unanimously

The Mayor advised the State Government’s draft sub-regional planning framework had identified the City as a major supplier of land and employment, indicating that Wanneroo is expected to accommodate three-quarters of the population growth in the north-west sub-region.  In order to accommodate future growth she explained that appropriate transport infrastructure is needed, hence the City has strongly advocated projects such as the Northern Suburbs Railway and Mitchell Freeway extension.  

The Mayor read out a number of projects the City is involved in within this area, which were:-

“Quinns Erosion / Fred Stubbs.

·         Residents welcomed the reopening of Quinns Beach following the completion of emergency coastal protection works in November last year.

·         The sand bag revetment and limestone wall were extreme but necessary measures to save the foreshore and Fred Stubbs Park.

·         The sandbag revetment length is approximately 300m and the limestone retaining wall length is approximately 200m.

·         During the year I visited the site on a regular basis and to this day continue to applaud the commitment of our staff and contractors for their work in a location which was very challenging.

·         In addition, I would like to thank the Quinns Rocks community for their positive feedback on the finished works.

Mitchell Freeway

·         Quinns residents will be very happy with the early announcement of the Mitchell Freeway extension which will provide our northern commuters with a closer freeway exit to home.

·         The City welcomed the early commencement of the Mitchell Freeway extension, however we strongly believe there is a significant need to extend the project another 5.5km to Romeo Road.

·         We do have concerns the potential increase in traffic and associated issues would negatively impact the communities of Merriwa and surrounding suburbs, particularly the Mindarie school precinct and RAAFA Cambrai retirement village and continue to push for a longer extension to alleviate these concerns.

·         Extending the freeway to Romeo Road would prompt early construction of the Wanneroo Road to Marmion Avenue east-west link, providing access to Butler train station and amenities for residents in Carabooda and surrounding suburbs.

Ward Merger

·         From the next election the North Ward will merge with the Coastal Ward to create the North Coast Ward.

·         The changes will see five councillors representing the north coast ward.

·         Carabooda, Nowergup, Neerabup, Carramar, Banksia Grove and Pinjar will be merged into the Central Ward.

·         The Central and South Wards retained their names.

Butler North

·         Council recently endorsed the Butler District Open Space Master Plan review which includes recommendations on playing fields, hard courts, a community building, floodlighting and passive parks.

·         The review will be open for public comment as of Monday July 13 and will close August 7.

Quinns Mindarie Community Centre

·         The City of Wanneroo recently sought public comment on the proposed design of the Quinns Mindarie Community Centre.

·         Located at Quinns Road, the facility will be constructed as a second storey addition to the existing Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club. It is anticipated that construction will commence next financial year.

Your Move

·         Residents in the City of Wanneroo are encouraged to sign up to the Your Move Wanneroo project, which commenced in April.

·         Your Move is a free and personalised program providing information to support the people of Wanneroo to become more active, healthy and connected.

·         City of Wanneroo residents who sign up will be able to take advantage of tools such as exclusive offers, active transport maps and timetables tailored to the local area and a variety of community services and information.

·         The City of Wanneroo is committed to encouraging healthy and active communities, and is currently developing its own bicycle development plan to inform our bicycle path network.

Anchorage Drive traffic management

·         Community consultation for the management of Anchorage Drive was completed at the end of March.

·         Community feedback is currently being compiled for further consideration. The final proposal for the installation of traffic treatments will be developed with a report presented to council soon after.”

The Mayor concluded by advising that many projects are currently underway to improve facilities and infrastructure for residents in the fast-growing North and Coastal Wards and thanked everyone for attending.

Under the Petitions Update in the 28 April 2015 Minutes for “PT03-03/15 Request the Installation of Airconditioning or Industrial Fans at the Gumblossom Community Sports Hall” it stated a report would come to the May meeting but this is not the case.  What is the usual requirement or practice in providing a report to petitions that are tabled?

Response by A/Chief Executive Officer

The general practice is to prepare the report for a petition as soon as practicable.  If that can be the next meeting of Council it is, otherwise it will be the following one.  In this case there was a lot to investigate so the report was not ready for this meeting.

Cr Winton presented a petition of 617 signatories requesting Council’s consideration to construct a shared path along the coast between Burns Beach and Mindarie. 

This petition be forwarded to the Infrastructure directorate for action.

That Council:-

Pursuant to Section 75 of the Planning and Development Act 2005 determines NOT to initiate proposed Amendment No. 140 to District Planning Scheme No. 2 for the following reasons:

1.       The proposal is considered urban in nature and therefore is inconsistent with the objectives and intent of the rural zoning of the land under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and the City of Wanneroo’s District Planning Scheme No. 2. Such a proposal occurring in an area that is still largely used for rural purposes may lead to potential for land use conflicts;

2.       The proposal is premature in that a Metropolitan Region Scheme amendment is required prior to the rezoning of the subject sites under the City of Wanneroo’s District Planning Scheme No. 2;

3.       The proposal is premature as the area is shown as having potential for urban development in the East Wanneroo Structure Plan but further investigations are required to determine the suitability of the area for urbanisation;

4.       The proposal is premature in that comprehensive structure planning is required for the area to ensure orderly and proper planning; and

5.       Approval of the amendment would set a precedent for other more intensive non-rural developments in the rural zone.  This could have a cumulative adverse effect on the intention of the rural zoning of the locality.
