Parking at Marangaroo Primary School

There is a problem with the parking at this primary school.  In the afternoons parents park on the verges and children run across the road to get to the cars.  It is dangerous and many times cars have had to brake to avoid children.  The queue gets so long that vehicles have had to drive on the footpath to get past. 

Could Councillors make an effort to visit the school at around 3.00pm in the afternoon to see for themselves?  Is Council aware that there is very little parking at the Marangaroo Primary School? 

Response by A/Director Infrastructure

Council will investigate this site as there is clearly traffic, safety and compliance issues. 

Further response by A/Director Infrastructure

The issue relating to traffic safety due to motorists parking on the road verge requires further investigation and liaison with Marangaroo Primary School. A response will be provided to Ms Mittic within two weeks.

Drive through Liquor Outlet

Only received notification of the Council meeting this morning.  Having a background as a Transport Logistics Manager for over 30 years what is most concerning about this development is the safety and the potential for accidents where the drive through facility is. 

It is very close to the entrance of Iluka.  Also, entering from a street by turning left and then within about eight metres having to turn right and in five meters turn left again to enter the drive through tunnel is tantamount to a serious problem. 

Response by Mayor Roberts

As Mr Fairclough only received notification this morning, a five minute statement time will be allowed.

Mr Fairclough:

When visiting the site recently had to wait for six or seven cars to come into the centre from the other direction and three wanting to leave the centre.  In the report preamble, it was said that it could take up to three minutes, it took a lot longer. 

This is considering that the liquor store does not exist at the moment.  The report does not mention how busy the Farmer Jacks operation is especially at peak hours.  There is the potential for lost tempers and accidents.  This facility is not a good idea. 

Response by Mayor Robert

Taken as a statement.

1.       Questions from previous meeting

Is there a legal requirement for minutes and public questions to be publicly available within a certain timeframe? 

Response by Chief Executive Officer

This will need to be investigated.  Council normally publishes them as soon as the answers are available.

Further response by Manager Governance and Legal

The questions referred to by Mrs Sangali were presented at the Council Briefing Session last Tuesday night.  In accordance with the Local Government Act 1995, Council Briefing Sessions are not formal meetings of Council and the City does not compile formal minutes of Council Briefing Sessions.  The City has adopted a procedure whereby any questions that are taken on notice are responded to in writing directly to the questioner as soon as practicable.  The Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 requires that formal minutes of Council Meetings are recorded and kept and are made available for inspection by members of the public within 10 business days after the Council meeting.  Notwithstanding this requirement, the City of Wanneroo has adopted a procedure that ensures that the minutes are publicly available on the Friday immediately after the Council Meeting.

2.       Development, Royal James Court, Quinns Rocks

a)      Administration has stated that affected residents have no appeal rights.  If this development had gone through public consultation, would the residents be within their rights to oppose the development?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

If Council advertises an application, residents are entitled to express any views they wish.

b)      Council suggests that by providing 26 resident and 9 visitor bays, a total of 35 bays, that the parking is adequate for a development of this size.  The proposed development has a mix of one, two and three bedrooms, totalling 47 rooms.  If each occupier of a room owned a car, there is  already a shortfall of 12 parking bays without adding visitors.  How will Council deal with this issue should it arise?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Question taken on notice.

Further Response from Director Planning and Sustainability

In the approval of the application, Council did not make a discretionary decision whether the number of parking bays to be provided was adequate. 

The parking was assessed based on a predetermined set of requirements contained in the State Planning Policy 3.1 Residential Design Codes (R-Codes).

The R-Codes set out the car parking requirements for residential development and establishes a standard for the number of vehicles per dwelling based on dwelling type. Based on these requirements, there is a total of 31 car parking bays required to be provided on-site. The development provides a total of 35 car parking bays on-site. Notwithstanding, should there be any parking which is occurring illegally on the surrounding streets, the City’s Rangers will investigate the matter and if required, issue a penalty to any person that has parked unlawfully.

3.       Connolly Drive

Recently contacted by residents of both Merriwa and Ridgewood over concerns re crossing Connolly Drive near Jenolan Way to access Merriwa Shopping Centre and surrounding schools and public facilities?  With the extension of the freeway this intersection is set to become a lot busier.  Is there any plans to put a pedestrian crossing or signalised lights at this intersection?

Response by A/Director Infrastructure

This intersection is due for upgrade however the question regarding traffic signals will be taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director Infrastructure

Connolly Drive is scheduled to be upgraded in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 financial years with the completion scheduled before the opening of the Freeway Extension to Hester Avenue. There are no plans for the installation of traffic signals at Connolly Drive/Jenolan Way intersection, however at-grade pedestrian crossing adjoining Jenolan Way and Connolly Drive intersection will be included as part of the upgrade project.

4.       Two Rocks Coastal Management

a)      Is Council aware of any plans to upgrade the marina that would change its configuration and possibly alleviate or accelerate the erosion?

Response by A/Director Infrastructure

Administration does not have confirmation from the Department of Transport that the marina will be developed.  It is understood that it is likely to be developed but no timeframe has been provided.

b)      Administration also made the comment that the marina construction caused the erosion, therefore the State Government should be responsible for funding.  Do the State Government recognise that they should be responsible for the funding?

Response by A/Director Infrastructure

The recommendation is to write to State Government to fund these coastal protection works and Council will have to wait for the response.

c)      It was also mentioned in the report that there were responses from State Government that were available in the Elected Members Reading Room.  Are they able to be made public?

Response by A/Director Infrastructure

They are copies of previous correspondence with State Government where it was highlighted that the marina has caused erosion to the north.

Response by Chief Executive Officer

Taken on notice to establish the context of the letters to determine whether they can be made public.

Further Response from A/Director Infrastructure

Copies of the correspondence with the State Government as referenced in Item No. IN02-07/15 are available to the public on request and have been provided to Ms Sangalli under separate cover. 

5.       Population of Two Rocks area

a)      What is the estimated population of the greater Two Rocks area in approximately thirty years?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Taken on notice.

Further Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

We do not have a reliable 30 year estimate at this stage.  The estimate for Two Rocks in 2036 is 12,284.  Estimates are continually updated and revised based on actual unexpected growth. 

b)      The Two Rocks Coastal report has no recommendation for sand re-nourishment in the shorter term.  With so many new residents expected to move to the area and the beach eroding, where do Council proposed the residents swim and enjoy a day at the beach?

Response by A/Director Infrastructure

Whilst the City is waiting for State Government to respond, the City will continue to monitor the site and if required, any intervention will have to go back to State Government and seek cooperation.  It will then need to come back to Council to undertake some sort of emergency coastal protection which generally is sand nourishment.

6.       Butler Liquor Store

a)      Did Administration investigate the estimated frequency of deliveries and has a solution been found to the problem of blocking loading bays further adding to the congestion at the shopping centre entrance?

Response by Manager Planning Implementation

The number of deliveries is estimated to be five per week to the liquor store.  In terms of a solution to queuing, as is indicated in the report, there is the potential during peak hours, especially on Friday evenings.   There is not expected to be any queuing to block the access way at other times.  If there is, the City will need to deal with this at the time.

b)      Council has estimated five deliveries but what about the supermarket deliveries?

Response by Manager Planning Implementation

The information obtained for the liquor store were obtained from the owners.  Information was not gathered from the supermarket.  Will take that on notice.

Further response by Director Planning & Sustainability

The City has been advised by the applicants that there are approximately 25 deliveries per weekday to the supermarket, four of which are larger trucks delivering several pallets at a time and the remainder of deliveries are made by smaller vehicles. 

The number of deliveries on weekends is generally lower than weekdays and is dependent on the needs of the supermarket.  This information has not at this stage been verified by Administration.

c)      Has Administration investigated how the drive through exit including the extended curb will interact or interfere with the Acrod Parking?

Response by Manager Planning Implementation

Administration does not believe that the exit will interfere with the parking.

Further response by Director Planning & Sustainability

In any event, the requirements for the provision of disabled parking bays would require approval irrespective of what planning approvals have or have not been granted. 

On behalf of myself and the Local Member for this area, Janine Freeman, welcome to the South Ward. 

1.       Funding Cuts by State Government

a)      In regard to the funding cuts by the State Government to Financial Counselling services to the City of Wanneroo leading to the loss of half a position and then in this year’s state budget with the services de-funded by the state government, what impact will this have on the City of Wanneroo and the community?

b)      Will there be any local viable alternative?

c)      Was prior warning given by the State Government to the City of Wanneroo prior to these cuts? 

d)      Has the City of Wanneroo been subsequently consulted since the Government has reluctantly conceded that it would review its position?

Response by Mayor Roberts

The City was very disappointed.  There are many members within the City’s community who are finding times tough especially with the down turn in the resource sector. The City is concerned about the increase in homelessness and has been working hard with the City’s financial councillors to ensure that these people are supported.  This will certainly impact negatively on  the services provided to the community.

Response by Director Community Development

a)      The City has anticipated significant impact to the community based on the number of residents who use and benefit from these services. 

b)      In regard to other services, there is still some federally funded service delivery which the City is responsible for although it obviously cannot meet the capacity that was previously available.  There has recently been funding to Lifeline through Federal Government to deliver some counselling services however that won’t increase the City’s services because that removed the source of federal government funding.

c)      In regard to prior warning, all indications received was that funding at this stage would be continuing for at least a further twelve months. 

d)      The City is involved in joint advocacy on the issue on an ongoing basis.

2.       Hooning activities

I refer to a number community concerns relating to hooning activity on local roads, in particular that police are not enforcing the hoon laws in relation to this.  How many reports have Rangers had in relation to such activity at or near Ashdale Secondary College and Danbury Crescent, Girrawheen in the last twelve months?

Response by Mayor Roberts

Taken on notice.

Further Response from A/Director Infrastructure

The City has not responded to any customer enquiries regarding hooning activities in Danbury Crescent in the past 12 months. 

Traffic counts were completed in March 2015 to determine the effectiveness of the speed cushions on  Danbury Crescent on reducing through vehicle speeds in accordance with the default built-up area 50Km/hr speed limit. The traffic count data indicated that the speed cushions have reduced through vehicle speeds.

Warwick Police advised that the only incident on WAPOL systems from this year is for Danbury Crescent is 17 July 2015.   The City has not received any information regarding hoon activity near the Ashdale Secondary College.

Moved Cr Winton, Seconded Cr Cvitan

That the minutes of the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 23 June 2015 be confirmed subject to the following administrative amendment:

That the resolution for Item CS08-06/15 read “CARRIED BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY” instead of “CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY”

Carried Unanimously

Good evening everyone and welcome to our third council meeting on tour for the year.

Council meetings “on tour” are a great opportunity for residents in our outer suburbs to attend meetings and see council in action.  Our March council meeting was held at the Phil Renkin Centre in Two Rocks and our May meeting was held at the Gumblossom Centre in Quinns Rocks.

The 2015-16 Budget focuses on renewing and upgrading existing facilities in the City’s south while also providing for new infrastructure. 

Key projects for the coming financial year include the design and documentation of a new southern suburbs library and the completion of the Koondoola Community Centre.  The Budget factors in the need for new services and infrastructure while also recognising the need for renewed facilities across the City.

Community safety, infrastructure, parks, sporting amenities and active open space top the list of key projects in the City of Wanneroo’s 2015-16 Budget adopted on June 9.

Community infrastructure is vital to provide connections and social opportunities between residents, clubs and organisations.  More than $700,000 of funding for sport facilities will go towards floodlighting and an extension to the oval at Warradale Park in Landsdale and more than $400,000 to sports floodlighting, baseball back nets, cricket net upgrade and playgrounds at Hudson Park in Girrawheen.

KOONDOOLA COMMUNITY CENTRE

We are so proud of the progress of the Koondoola Community Centre.  The $3.5 million project includes the new community centre building and car park as well as a main hall, secondary hall, kitchen facilities, office, meeting room, a court yard, change room facilities, canteen, store rooms, landscaping and a spectator terrace.  The Koondoola Community Centre will provide a much needed addition to the Koondoola area for community groups to come together, meet and interact.  Construction is 60% complete with the project expected to be fully completed in December 2015.

SOUTHERN SUBURBS LIBRARY

The 15/16 Capital Works budget adopted by Council includes funding for concept design of the new Southern Suburbs Library.  Investigation is well underway to finalise a site to construct this exciting new library.  A report to Council to consider site selection and commence the concept design works is anticipated to occur late 2015.

KINGSWAY SPORTING COMPLEX

Kingsway Sporting Complex is a feature of the area and the City is continually doing works to improve and update this invaluable facility.  The baseball clubrooms project is nearing its completion in November this year the club is eagerly looking forward to their new facility.

The Olympic Soccer Clubrooms will also receive maintenance and upgrades in the clubs off season and take about three to four months to complete.

The AFL players out there will be pleased to know that the city has just applied for funding to provide wheel chair access from the car park to the Kingsway AFL playing field. We will know in October if the City has been successful in securing this funding.

SOUTH WARD ACTIVE RESERVES MASTER PLAN

 
The South Ward Recreational Master Plan has also been developed for the active reserves in the area. The plan was developed by the south ward community reference and sporting user group which included local community members; Mr Peter Romiti, Ms Danielle Santoro, Mr Anthony Lepore, Ms Claire Ginbey, Mr Patrick Murphy, Mr Geoff Harrison and Mr Michael Pentreath.

The plan includes upgrades and new works at multiple reserves in the area including Alexander Heights, Blackmore, Hainsworth and Hudson parks. There are more than 80 projects ranging from car park upgrades to outdoor fitness equipment, paths and flood lighting at cost of $20.4m.

This financial year more than $700,000 has been allocated to a building needs assessment as well as upgrades and new works at Alexander Heights and Hudson Parks.

ROAD WORKS

The 2015-16 Road Resurfacing Programme includes $1,958,925 to resurface various streets in the suburb of Girrawheen: including Bendix Way; Burnham Way; Colne Way; Lecky Court; Pelham Way; Rochford Way; Salcott Road; Westbrook Way; Ipswich Crescent; Bilby Road; Stoke Court; Leigh Place and Shalford Way. Works are in the planning stages and should commence mid-September. 

There will also be significant construction works for traffic treatment projects in Landsdale Road ($250,000),  Kingsway ($350,000 Stage 2), Parin Road ($90,000), Templeton Crescent ($300,000), Hainsworth Avenue ($250,000), Mirrabooka Avenue/Southmead Drive ($75,000), as well as ($80,000) for street lighting in Mirrabooka Avenue/Montrose Avenue to be scheduled progressively throughout the year.

PATHWAYS

$414,500 has been budgeted for footpaths across the City with four projects scheduled to commence this financial year in the south ward including:

Construction of a pathway Hepburn Avenue, Giralt Road to Kingsway in Marangaroo.

Design of a concrete shared path from Hepburn Avenue to Gnangara Road.

Construction of a new shared path on Southmead Drive Landsdale, and design and documentation for the construction of a shared path on the east side of Marangaroo Drive to Beach Road.

SAM TROTT MEMORIAL PLAYGROUND AT WARRADALE PARK.

A preferred site for the play area has been selected in consultation with the family.  A Concept Plan for the development is being prepared, based on nature play principles, and the City has started to collect and stockpile some natural materials that may be able to be used within the play area.

This concept plan will be discussed with the family at the next scheduled meeting, around the end of July and then a report will be provided to council for approval of the selected site and playground design.

OTHER WORKS IN THE SOUTH WARD

Alexander Heights Park will receive $220,000 to install fitness equipment, design and construct a path network.  Funds of  $867,500 have also been allocated to the Marangaroo Golf Course.

WANNEROO, KOONDOOLA- GIRRAWHEEN REZONING

Public comment on the Wanneroo, Koondoola, Girrawheen draft scheme amendment is now open. (23 June).

The split density coding of R20/40 and R20/60 in Wanneroo, Girrawheen and Koondoola was adopted by Wanneroo Council in February for the purpose of seeking public comment, subject to the WA Planning Commission giving their approval to advertise the amendment.  The higher density coding is only proposed to apply under certain conditions.

The implementation of a split density code over the Girrawheen, Koondoola and Wanneroo housing precincts is seen as the optimum solution to complex infrastructure and urban design issues.  After public consultation, the comments received will be presented to Council for consideration. 

Council’s resolution, and any recommended changes to the amendment as a result of public comment will then be forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission, for the consideration of the Minister for Planning.

The City held a workshop at Wanneroo Central Shopping Centre on 2 July and two more at the Newpark Shopping Centre on 9 July and 16 July.  Turnout was extremely strong with an estimated 150 people at the Wanneroo Workshop on 2 July and 250-300 people at Newport Shopping Centre on 9 July.  Comments from those in support had requested the inclusion of other areas in the proposed rezoning (such as Marangaroo and Alexander Heights); and a suggestion that developers be required to provide a street trees to offset the higher density and smaller back yards.

People who strongly support the amendment state the increase in rental properties in the area as a good outcome for families.  There has also been extension community consultation including an online survey and further consultation sessions.   I commend City staff for the work that has gone into the rezoning process. It hasn’t been quick but the time taken has been necessary to ensure that areas considered for medium density housing have access to appropriate services and infrastructure.  The City can assure the public that this process has been well thought-out and planned.

WARD MERGER

At the Ordinary Council Meeting on 3 March 2015 Council resolved to maintain the existing number of Councillors across the City at 14 plus the position of the Mayor and make adjustments to the ward boundaries to even out representation and to then consult with the community.

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

Carabooda, Nowergup, Neerabup, Carramar, Banksia Grove and Pinjar will be merged into the Central Ward while Wangara and Gnangara will merge from Central Ward to the South Ward.  The Central and South Wards retained their names.   The changes will see the ward more evenly represented with 5 Councillors in the North Coast Ward 4 councillors in Central and 5 in South.  These changes will be implemented for the 2015 Local Government elections.

YOUR MOVE

I am very excited to announce that thousands of City of Wanneroo residents have signed up for the Your Move program that encourages and supports them to boost their physical health by being more active.  In fact more than 10,500 local residents are on track to better health, after signing up for the City’s Your Move program.

Your Move is proving a hit with local families. Walking is the most popular action plan residents signed up for and most are aged between 34 and 65.  The program aims to change people’s habits by providing personalised support and motivation.  Participants are encouraged to swap car trips for walking, cycling or public transport. They are also given information about facilities, events and ways to get active in their neighbourhood.

 
The City is the second local government in Western Australia to be offered the program.  A highly successful pilot in Cockburn resulted in residents increasing their physical activity by more than 10 minutes per person per a day and a five per cent decrease in car trips per participant over the year long program.

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.

IN CONCLUSION

As you can see there are many projects currently underway to improve facilities and infrastructure for residents in our Central and South wards.  We very much welcome a future southern suburbs library and the completion of the Koondoola Community Centre.

a)      Could Administration please update Council on the timing for community consultation to occur as part of the detailed design and documentation process for Hardcastle Park, Landsdale?

Response by Director Community Development

The City is currently undertaking site analysis of the park. 

The project plan at this stage indicates community consultation scheduled to commence on 22 October 2015.

b)      With regards to the grant funding application to Main Roads WA to dual the carriage way on Hartman Drive between Hepburn Avenue and Gnangara Road, could Administration provide details if there will be a provision for a pedestrian underpass or overpass at Hartman Road?

Response by Director Infrastructure

As part of Hardman Drive Stage 1 construction, Council considered a report at a meeting on 22 September 2009.  At that time the underpasses were deleted from the scope of works.  This decision was based on a number of reasons including community feedback, limited catchment for pedestrians and cyclists, security and access point of view and significant costs involved with the construction of underpasses.  Two alternative at-grade crossings were constructed and based on the same principles when Stage 2 does take place, there is no proposal at the moment to construct underpasses whereas at grade crossing will continue to be maintained.

c)      Could the Director please inform Council of when a traffic study will be conducted for the intersection of Highclere Boulevard and Hepburn Avenue?

Response by Director Infrastructure

This year’s capital works program does include funding to undertake that study.  The City is preparing a consultants’ brief at the moment and after a procurement process, it is expected that traffic engineering consultants will be appointed in September. The traffic study is expected to take three months and a draft report is likely to be available to the City for a review towards the end of December 2015. Subject to the completion of review and finalisation of the draft traffic study report, a report will be scheduled for Council's consideration in February 2016.

d)      Given the impact of the light industrial area in Landsdale on the neighbouring residents in Darch, will the City be approaching the State Government to undertake a joint study on how these impacts can be minimised?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The Landsdale industrial area is zoned General Industrial under the City's District Planning Scheme No. 2 and Industrial under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.  Administration has not considered the matter of approaching the State Government regarding a joint study in relation to the question of impacts from the Landsdale industrial area on the adjoining residential area in Darch.

b)       Given the recent hold up in the Joint Development Assessment Panel of the new East Landsdale Primary School on the issue of parking, could Administration advise what it believes would be the optimal amount of parking spaces that should be provided at the new school?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) considered the item on 11 May 2015 and a procedural motion was made to; “defer the decision to allow the applicant to provide further information including:

1.       A building envelope concept that illustrates the area in which buildings could be located;

2.       Access points;

3.       Extent of remnant bushland to be retained; and

4.       Circulation of the design brief to JDAP members."

It is noted that the application for the proposed primary school is to be considered at the upcoming meeting of the JDAP to be held on 28 July 2015.

With respect to Car Parking, the number of bays required to be provided based on the provisions of the City's District Planning Scheme No. 2 is 191 based on the ultimate student population of students of 760 students. The Responsible Authority Report (RAR) as prepared by the Department of Finance (Building Management and Works) has been recommended that a minimum of 162 car parking bays be provided.  The report supports a variation to the parking requirement of 29 bays.

1.       When will things be getting underway in Hudson Park?  There were some plans to get this started within the next 12 months?

Response by A/Director Infrastructure

Taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director Infrastructure

Design and consultation of Hudson Park projects is due to be undertaken prior the December 2015 with construction of these projects scheduled to be undertaken from February to June 2016.

2.       There was a resolution passed not long ago for the installation of shade sales in parks throughout the City of Wanneroo beginning in Darch.  What is the progress on this?

Response by A/Director Infrastructure

The City is currently preparing a procurement plan for the shade sails for this year’s budget and expect that all shade sails will be completed before summer this year.

There is site works that have commenced at Quinns Rocks Caravan Park.  Is this the beginning of the project or is it preparatory work, and if it is the beginning of the project, how much longer is it going to be before the is any built form on this site?

Response by Manager Property

It is essential site clearing.  None of the works underway relates to what is to be built.  First need to establish what footprint can exist on this site.  The City will shortly be approaching the WAPC to discuss the footprint that is possible and then Council will be given options in regard to concept designs.

Re Hudson Park Pavilion and Koondoola Hall.  Recently there has been a large number of car break ins and car damage belonging to the users of this facility.  I understand the Council is planning to renovate Hudson park and Koondoola Hall.  Would Council consider putting in place a temporary measure to assist the users in terms of security?

Response by Director Community Development

The City will investigate this matter.

Cr Nguyen presented a petition of 36 signatories requesting Council’s consideration of the closure of the laneway linking Curtis Way and Morgan Way, Girrawheen to help reduce the amount of anti-social behaviour, burglaries, buying and selling of illicit drugs and littering.

This petition be forwarded to the Planning and Sustainability Directorate for action.

Cr Newton presented a petition of 3 signatories attesting to the odour emitted by Ingham Enterprises animal feed manufacturing plant and hatchery located at 1040 Wanneroo Road, Sinagra and ask that Council lobby the Legislative Assembly to restrict the legal odour emission quota of Ingham Enterprises' operations located in Sinagra under section 56 of the Environmental Protection Regulations Act of 1986.

Furthermore, the petitioners request that the renewal of Ingham's licence under this Act in September 2015 only be granted upon the condition that the company undertakes preparatory action to relocate operations away from the Wanneroo town site to prevent further debilitation preferably that the hatchery relocate within two years of licence renewal, and the feed mill within five years of licence renewal.

This petition be forwarded to the Planning and Sustainability Directorate for action.

Cr Treby presented a petition of 158 signatories from residents of Landsdale seeking the support of Council in its determination of proposed Amendment No.14 to the East Wanneroo Cell 5 Agreed Structure Plan No.7.

This petition be forwarded to the Planning and Sustainability Directorate for action

Cr Cvitan presented a petition of 6 signatories expressing their concern with the current congestion in the cul-de-sac due to lack of paved verge areas for the placing of rubbish bins on collection days.

Update

The petition organiser emailed Business Manager Waste Operations on 26 June 2015 requesting the withdrawal of the petition.  

Cr Newton presented a petition of 20 signatories of San Teodoro Avenue requesting that Council put plans in place to lay a footpath at the corner of San Teodoro Avenue and Caporn Street Sinagra, through to Pinjar Road Wanneroo for the safety of pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, skateboard riders and motor vehicles, as there is no walk way access to the new petrol station, restaurant and shopping centre.

Update

A report will be presented to the 18 August 2015 Council meeting.

Cr Newton presented a petition of 11 signatories requesting the Council consider the installation of speed humps for safety at Greenfields Circle, Hocking.

Update

A report will be presented to the 13 October 2015 Council meeting.

Cr Driver presented a petition of 29 signatories of opposing the development at Royal James Courts, Quinns Rocks.

Update

On 20 November 2014, the City received an application for 23 Multiple Dwellings on Lots 8 and 9 (16 and 17) Royal James Court, Quinns Rocks.

The site is zoned Residential with a residential density code of R40 under the City's District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS 2). The site is subject to the provisions of the Detailed Area Plan (DAP) for Lots 368 and 369 Waterland Point and Lots 387 and 388 Royal James Court, Quinns Rocks.

Under the City's DPS 2, a Multiple Dwelling is a 'D' (discretionary) land use within the Residential zone. Advertising is generally undertaken for 'D' uses if there are variations proposed to the development requirements which are considered to potentially affect surrounding landowners. The development application for 23 Multiple Dwellings on the subject site was assessed against the provisions of the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) and the DAP. There were minor variations proposed to the requirements of the R-Codes which related to the amount of paved surface in the front area of the lot and the proportion of one and two bedroom dwellings provided. These variations were not considered to affect the surrounding landowners.

All other requirements of the DAP and the R-Codes were complied with and as such, public consultation was not undertaken and the development application was approved by Administration under delegated authority on 15 January 2015.

In regard to the appeal rights identified in Clause 8.4 of DPS 2, appeal rights against planning decisions are only available to the applicant who sought planning approval. There are no appeal rights in relation to planning decisions available to anyone else such as residents or owners of properties adjoining an approved development (that is there are no "third party" appeal rights).

In regard to the comments raised in the petition relating to the matters of Clause 6.8 of DPS 2, the following response is provided:

Traffic:

The impact of vehicle movements was assessed having regard to the capacity of the road as outlined in the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Liveable Neighbourhoods Policy. Based on the number of dwellings existing and proposed with access to Royal James Court, the total potential number of vehicles generated was within the design capacity of the road and therefore not considered excessive or detrimental.

Noise:

Any noise generated on any residential lot is required to comply with the Environment Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 at all times. In the event that noise is emitted at a level that becomes a nuisance to local residents, Administration would investigate noise levels and if substantiated, require a property owner to undertake appropriate measures to ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997.

Parking:

The car parking provisions of the R-Codes require the subject development to provide a minimum of 25 resident car parking bays and six (6) visitor car parking bays on-site. The proposal provided a total of 26 resident car parking bays and nine (9) visitor car parking bays which is sufficient to cater for residents and visitors to the subject development.

Furthermore, the parking of any vehicles on the street are required to comply with the City of Wanneroo’s Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law (2003). Should any car parking occur that does not comply with this Local Law, the City’s Rangers can investigate the offence.

Housing type:

The subject Multiple Dwellings on-site are in accordance with the zoning of the land as Residential with a residential density code of R40. The development provides for two one-bedroom dwellings, 18 two-bedroom dwellings, and three three-bedroom dwellings. The proposal is considered to provide for a diverse range of housing type and size for residents and is consistent with the Residential zoning of the subject lots and the surrounding area.

Moved Cr Treby, Seconded Cr Hayden

That Item MN01-07/15 “Proposal to remove Civic and Cultural zoning from Lot 5483 (41) Park Lane, Alexander Heights and incorporate the land into Alexander Heights Park” be considered as the first item of business.

MIKE ALLEN PLANNING on behalf of Yanchep Beach Joint Venture

9.1

Amendment 1 to the DSP should be rejected until such time as it can be demonstrated that employment generation alternatives are in place. Otherwise the task of achieving the employment self-sufficiency target for the corridor will fall increasingly on Yanchep Two Rocks which already has a higher target than Alkimos-Eglinton.

Agree. The City does not support such a large reduction in the high employment-generating Service Commercial. Through discussion with the proponent a revised plan which indicates 57.6ha of Service Commercial land (in accordance with Attachment 4 to this report) has been provided. It is considered this revised plan can be supported as discussed in the body of the report.

Modify District Structure Plan Map to include 57.6ha of ‘Service Commercial’ zoned land in accordance with Attachment 4.

Modify proposed amendment item no. 4, 15, 16 and 17 are to be amended to reflect the 57.6ha of ‘Service Commercial’ land.

Agree. Administration does not consider any specific reference to the leasing of land designated for Park and Ride within the proposed amendment is appropriate for the DSP.

Modify proposed amendment item no. 2, relating to Part 1: 7.9 (S16) shall be removed from the proposed amendment text. 

11.0

DEVELOPMENT PLANNING STRATEGIES (DPS) on behalf of Eglinton Estates Pty Ltd

11.1

No objections on the removal of the 'Park and Ride' rail station at Alkimos Drive, provided there will be no expectation for additional parking to be provided within the Eglinton District Centre.

Noted. The provision of additional bays being required within the Eglinton landholdings is at the discretion of the PTA – based on modelling of estimated passenger numbers and car parking demand.

No action required.

11.2

No objections to the relocation of the Alkimos Drive neighbourhood centre provided there will be no adverse impact on both the surrounding activity centres and / or the overall activity centre hierarchy in the broader Alkimos Eglinton DSP area.

Noted. The City cannot provide any surety in this regard; however, the proponent has provided a retail viability assessment which concludes that the neighbourhood Centre is not viable and the proposed 700m² of retail land use can be absorbed into the surrounding commercial centres.

See recommended modification 5.2

11.3.

No objection to the reduction of land area zoned 'Service Commercial' and associated increase in land area zoned 'Secondary and District Centre' but reserve the right to amend the Alkimos Eglinton DSP in a similar fashion (reduction of land area zoned Service Commercial) at such time that planning for the Eglinton District Centre is being progressed.

Noted. The City cannot provide any surety that a future amendment within the Eglinton District Centre would be supported. Any future amendment to the DSP lodged will be assessed on its merits at the time of submission and advertising.

No action required.

DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING (DOP)

12.1

Of the 61ha it is claimed 50ha represents the net developable area. This assumes a net developable area of 82%. The reduced land area is stated to be 29ha. Of the 29ha it is claimed 22ha represents the net developable area (76%). A definition of the composition of the net land area is required.

Noted. See Administration Comment to item 9.1 above.

See recommended modification 9.1

12.2

Under DSP 18, the Service Commercial land correlates with the provision of employment, therefore under the DSP model a loss of service commercial land would correspondingly reduce employment provision. It is suggested that the applicant provide a clear estimate of employment implications associated with the departure from DSP No. 18 having regard to the overall land use mix and intensity in the area and the methodology for calculating employment provision set out in DSP No. 18.

Noted. See Administration Comment to item 9.1 above.

See recommended modification 9.1

12.3

The amended structure plan indicates that the relocated neighbourhood centre has not been assessed in terms of impact on other proposed and existing centres. It is recommended that a retail and economic analysis of the new Neighbourhood Centre is undertaken to determine corresponding impacts on the overall provision of retail floor space and local services set out in DSP No 18.

Agreed. A retail viability assessment has been undertaken by the proponent which identifies that the Neighbourhood Centre is not viable. The assessment also concludes that there would be no impact on the surrounding centres which will absorb the approximately 700m² of retail floor space.

See recommended modification 5.2

12.4

The removal of the proposed North Alkimos Railway Station will require approval of the WAPC.

Noted. The proponent has provided documentation from the DoT which confirms that the North Alkimos Park and Ride station has not been identified as a future station in the Public Transport Network Plan. The DoT supports the removal of the North Alkimos (Alkimos Drive) Station from the Alkimos-Eglington District Structure Plan. The City supports this view, and considers that the WAPC should have due regard to the DoT’s position.

No action required.

12.5

Should the railway station no longer be required the existing hatching designated "Opportunities for Business, Commercial and Mixed Use Development" should be reviewed in this context.

Disagree. Administration considers the review of this hatching would be done through the relevant LSP, specifically through the appropriate zoning.

It is noted that the proponent wishes to modify the area to remove a small portion abutting playing fields, south of the removed train station. As the area is not proposed along any major transit corridor and the minor change would be inconsequential it supports the minor portion being removed from the DSP Map.

Modify District Structure Plan Map to remove the ‘Opportunities for Business, Commercial and Mixed Use Development’ designation west of the ‘Playing Fields’ in accordance with Attachment 4.

2.       In forwarding the above submissions to the Western Australian Planning Commission, ADVISES the Commission that:

a)      Council strongly supports the following proposals included in the draft Perth-Peel Strategy and the draft North-West Sub-regional Planning Framework:

          i)       the continued designation of the proposed Yanchep centre as a Strategic Metropolitan Centre, along with the employment projections for this centre which indicate substantial development of the centre occurring in the near future;

          ii)       the proposed extension of Tonkin Highway through the sub-region as the Whiteman to Yanchep Highway, subject to consideration being given to it being aligned to be more directly linked to the Yanchep Strategic metropolitan centre;

          iii)      the continued designation of the East Wanneroo area as an urban expansion area, and particularly its designation with a ‘short term’ development timeframe;

          iv)     the proposal for a potential additional major public transport corridor within the City, subject to this being aligned through the East Wanneroo urban area (rather than in the State Forest area to the east);

b)      With a view to more effectively achieving the objectives of the draft Strategy and Planning Framework, Council requests that further consideration be given to the following strategy and framework proposals:

          i)       the proposal to include only broad, high-level proposals for implementation. For the key objectives of the strategy to be met, particularly large-scale, high-quality, transit-oriented development, and adequate employment self-sufficiency levels in the outer sub-regions, a detailed, whole-of-government implementation strategy for infrastructure is required;

          ii)       the proposal to put the timing for extension of the northern suburbs railway line back from ‘before 2020’ (as proposed under the draft Public Transport Plan for Perth) to ‘post 2025’.  The ‘before 2020’ timing should be retained;

          iii)      the proposal for new job creation to continue to be focussed on the central areas of the region.  The target for the North-West Sub-region to attract 19% of the region’s new jobs needs to be increased to at least 23%, to at least match the proportion of the region’s population growth projected to occur in this sub-region;

          iv)     the proposal that the future hospital/health facility within the Yanchep strategic metropolitan centre only be for a future ambulance facility and satellite service linked to the Joondalup Health Campus.  A full major health campus should be provided at the centre;

c)      This City requests to be closely involved in the preparation of the final North-West Sub-regional Structure Plan.

Amendment

Moved Cr Winton, Seconded Mayor Roberts

That a new recommendation 2.d) be added and an additional row in the Table at Attachment 10 be inserted.

2. d) This City is concerned that while these draft strategic planning proposals are said to be informed by the work undertaken to-date on the Strategic Assessment of the Perth-Peel Region (SAPPR), it is unclear how the finalisation of these strategic planning proposals is going to be effectively integrated with the progression and finalisation of the SAPPR study, particularly given the intention to release the final strategic plans around the same time that the draft SAPPR proposals are released for public comment, and could presumably be potentially subject to substantial changes, depending on the submissions made on the draft.

Table at Attachment 10

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

Substantive Motion as amended

That Council:-

1.       ENDORSE the proposed submissions to be made on the draft Perth-Peel Strategy and the draft North-West Sub-regional Planning Framework included as Attachment No 10 and Attachment No 11 respectively;

2.       In forwarding the above submissions to the Western Australian Planning Commission, ADVISES the Commission that:

a)      Council strongly supports the following proposals included in the draft Perth-Peel Strategy and the draft North-West Sub-regional Planning Framework:

          i)       the continued designation of the proposed Yanchep centre as a Strategic Metropolitan Centre, along with the employment projections for this centre which indicate substantial development of the centre occurring in the near future;

          ii)      the proposed extension of Tonkin Highway through the sub-region as the Whiteman to Yanchep Highway, subject to consideration being given to it being aligned to be more directly linked to the Yanchep Strategic metropolitan centre;

          iii)     the continued designation of the East Wanneroo area as an urban expansion area, and particularly its designation with a ‘short term’ development timeframe;

          iv)     the proposal for a potential additional major public transport corridor within the City, subject to this being aligned through the East Wanneroo urban area (rather than in the State Forest area to the east);

b)      With a view to more effectively achieving the objectives of the draft Strategy and Planning Framework, Council requests that further consideration be given to the following strategy and framework proposals:

          i)       the proposal to include only broad, high-level proposals for implementation. For the key objectives of the strategy to be met, particularly large-scale, high-quality, transit-oriented development, and adequate employment self-sufficiency levels in the outer sub-regions, a detailed, whole-of-government implementation strategy for infrastructure is required;

          ii)      the proposal to put the timing for extension of the northern suburbs railway line back from ‘before 2020’ (as proposed under the draft Public Transport Plan for Perth) to ‘post 2025’.  The ‘before 2020’ timing should be retained;

          iii)     the proposal for new job creation to continue to be focussed on the central areas of the region.  The target for the North-West Sub-region to attract 19% of the region’s new jobs needs to be increased to at least 23%, to at least match the proportion of the region’s population growth projected to occur in this sub-region;

          iv)     the proposal that the future hospital/health facility within the Yanchep strategic metropolitan centre only be for a future ambulance facility and satellite service linked to the Joondalup Health Campus.  A full major health campus should be provided at the centre;

c)      This City requests to be closely involved in the preparation of the final North-West Sub-regional Structure Plan.
