Rubbish washing up on shoreline

What can be done about the vast amount of rubbish washing up on our shoreline, its not just Yanchep it must be right along the coast?

This week I went to Shorehaven Alkimos to check out their beach, which is full of washed up rubbish as well as people not caring, there are a huge number of bins, no signage about littering but the sand was covered in rubbish, I filled two bags in a short walk.  All pictures are documented on FB Save Our Oceans Western Australia.  It is a worry.

Response by Director Assets

The City currently undertakes mechanical beach cleaning at Quinns Beach on a fortnightly basis during the summer period (November to March) and monthly during the winter period (April to October).  Mechanical beach cleaning commenced in January 2016 at Yanchep Lagoon and this location will now be serviced on the same frequency as Quinns Beach.   

Other locations are litter picked on a reactive basis as required. The City is currently looking at options to increase the number of locations that mechanical beach cleaning is carried out as more areas of the City's coastline are developed. 

Various Issues in Alkimos

1.         When will the Foreshore Management Plan be finalised and will it include a dog beach in the Alkimos area?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The Alkimos Beach Foreshore Management Plan (southern area) will be considered at the 2 February Council Meeting.

It will then be forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for approval. The city cannot predict how long the WAPC will take to consider the Foreshore Management Plan. A dog beach is not proposed as part of this Foreshore Management Plan. The City’s Coastal Management Plan Part 1 recommends the City liaise with PEET to finalise location and timing of the dog beach in North Alkimos (Shorehaven development).

2.         When will a signal tower be provided in the Alkimos area to assist with mobile phone coverage?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

This will be determined by the telecommunications providers.

Further Response by Mayor Roberts

Mr White has provided an update to this question that advice has been received that the tower was ordered in January for delivery in late February and should be operating by the end of March, which is good news for residents.

3.         What will the facilities be when the official Alkimos beach is constructed?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The facilities proposed to be provided within the Alkimos Beach Foreshore Management Plan are as follows:

·         Temporary Surf Lifesaving Storage Facility for mobile beach patrols;

·         Pedestrian and vehicle access;

·         Carpark for approximately 30 bays;

·         One lookout;

·         Two pedestrian beach accessways; and

·         One dual use pathway along the edge of the foreshore

4.         Can Lendlease or the City of Wanneroo get a bin provided at the end of the beach track?

Response by A/Director Assets

At present the City does not have any bins in this area. It is understood that it will be some time before the area is handed over to the City by the developers. Whilst the City is responsible for waste collection for residential properties in new developments, bins within parks and foreshore areas are maintained by the relevant developer until such time when the development is handed over to the City. Notwithstanding, clarification of the exact location of the track referred to is sought.

5.         It was questioned as to whether our water bills are higher at Alkimos Beach than other areas?  It was also questioned as to why we pay high rates even though we are not officially under the full jurisdiction of the City of Wanneroo?

Response by Director Corporate Strategy and Performance

The City of Wanneroo does not issue the water bills therefore this question will need to be redirected to the Water Corporation.

In response to the question regarding rates, the suburb of Alkimos is under the full jurisdiction of the City of Wanneroo and is rated accordingly.  All properties that are being used for the same purpose are rated the same across all suburbs within the City’s boundaries e.g. all houses are rated on the same rate in the dollar.

However, the rates differ from house to house depending upon the size of the building and other factors determined by the Valuer General’s Office.  The City receives the valuations from the Valuer General’s Office and uses these valuations to calculate the rates to be levied by multiplying the valuation by the rate in the dollar.

6.         At Leatherback Park in Alkimos there is currently a temporary sports changeroom on the north side of the park – could this be built on the south side of the park, away from residents?

Response from Director Community and Place

The location of the sports amenities building at Leatherback Park was influenced by a number of factors including the topography of the site, with the preference to have the building at a higher level to the playing area to provide views over the ground. The facility is also located in the North West corner of the POS to allow co-location to the school site and the use of shared parking amenities with the Department of Education, therefore maximising the usable green space within the POS.

The current temporary facilities will be replaced with a permanent building that will be required to satisfy development approvals and be in fitting with the location and the surrounding land use.

Feedback in regard to future location can be taken into consideration along with other relevant factors when the permanent building is designed.

PS04-02/16 Additions to existing Intensive Agriculture (Lion Mushrooms) at 69 Rousset Road, Mariginiup

1.         Is there some guarantee that the “Lion Mushroom Farm” will not be given an extension of the three years they have been given after the area is zoned urban?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The City cannot make guarantees about any future decision that the Council or the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) may make. 

2.         We were under the impression that there was to be no “buffer zone” around the mushroom farm.  Why was it put there when there is no composting done on the site?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The East Wanneroo Structure Plan identifies land within a 500m radius around mushroom farms as a buffer zone.  This document was prepared by the (then), Department of Planning and adopted by the Western Australian Planning Commission.  The Structure Plan does not record any reason why these were included.  

Proposed development of Lakelands Golf Course

1.         Would the Council seriously consider passing the proposed development of Lakelands golf course as it is an obvious benefit to old and young alike and take a delegation there to see firsthand the huge benefits this will give the community?  There is much support for this and cannot be dismissed out of hand.

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The responsible authority for determining the application is the Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP).  Council officers will make a recommendation to the JDAP based on the zoning of the land and relative planning legislation.

2.         Would like to thank Cr Winton for turning up Thursday at the course and seeing for herself, a credit to her.  Will other councillors now do the same and make the correct informed decision?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

This question is directed towards Elected Members.

Further Response by Mayor Roberts

The application in question is a Department of Planning JDAP matter which will be decided by that body and will not be considered by this Council.

3.         Would Council extend the period of discussion further and allow a window of opportunity for elderly residents to come and have their say on what is a much needed development of highly degraded poor land that serves our aging population.

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The application was not advertised for public comment and according to the JDAP Regulations have a specific timeframe to report on applications to the JDAP.

A report has to be provided to the JDAP within specific timeframes.  

4.         Would the Council consider that the special rural land adjoining this development (Badgerup Road to Golf View Place from Ocean Reef Road down to Sydney Road be incorporated with it as a buffer zone to industrial spread and become a wildlife corridor for probably one of the last refuges of our dwindling bio diversity?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Planning for this area including open space areas will be required to be considered through the continued future planning process for East Wanneroo.

Council is not able to consider this at this time.

5.         Will Council consider very carefully their answer that without this development a private course like Lakelands may not survive thus depriving old and young alike and the loss of jobs and job opportunities not only in the initial construction work but also in the maintenance sector on completion?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The Lakelands proposal is a planning application and Council’s consideration will be based on the Local Planning Scheme and relative Council policies and planning principles.

6.         Will Council agree that this much needed development planned under its guidelines and zoning is of no threat to overall plans of east Wanneroo and shouldn’t be?  The very idea of further endless miles of hot concrete wastelands in its place isn’t an option here.

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The officer’s view is that the application is not in accordance with Council’s Local Planning Policy for East Wanneroo.  The intent of which is to achieve orderly and proper planning. 

7.         Would the Council look at changing and tightening its policies on many empty cleared suburban blocks suitable for housing that have laid dormant for decades and give owners an ultimatum and time frame to develop or sell them, thus slowing virgin bush clearing?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The City has no capacity to compel owners to develop their blocks.

8.         Will the Council look seriously at reversing all waste water pipelines into the ocean and put it back in to the land, i.e. growing vegetables, timber etc.  Suggest a catchment reservoir north of Ellenbrook to serve northern suburbs, Bullsbrook and Ellenbrook.  Could be used for fire fighting and be the source and supply for the salad bowl of the state (every major city in Australia should do this, let’s be the first and get to grips with the word water shortage) and green up Australia.

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Responsibility for disposal of wastewater is carried out by the Water Corporation.  Such a proposal has not been considered by the Council.

9.         Will Council from now on look at every block on its merits irrespective of zoning and make sure its land usage and its attributes are adhered to (Yes or No answer).  Example:  Large Banksia block totally cleared, now a plastics tip and eyesore entrance to Badgerup Road.

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Council has an obligation to consider the zoning and development standards of the Scheme in every proposal for the development of land.  Where Scheme provisions are not complied with, Council has an option to take compliance action.

10.      Will the Council reverse the small block no garden mentality as totally unsuitable for family occupation?  It achieves nothing except stress and anarchy.

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

The density of development is determined through the structure planning process having regard to State Government Planning Policies on urban development.  

11.      Would like to thank the Council at this time for considering the above and will expect a positive visionary approach and reply to our communities concerns. 

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

No answer required.

PS02-01/16 Petition PT04-11/15:  Rezoning of the Gnangara Special Rural Area to Urban

1.         Could Council confirm if the special rural zone was approved under the original covenant when the plan was put in place, that it would require 100% approval of the registered property owners for any future changes of zoning?  If this is the case and Council were forced to change the zone, would they be seeking this consent of the landowners?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Zoning proposals are determined by the Minister for Planning, both for the Metropolitan Region Scheme and for the Council’s Local Scheme, so there is no requirement in the planning regulations to get agreement, although there is a requirement to consult with all owners.  If there was a covenant in place, that is a private legal matter.

2.         If the Council was forced to approve the changing of this zoning of special rural to urban would any future developers of these properties be required under SPP3.6 required to make development contributions for deep sewerage, roads, community facilities and broadband communications as those that already do in greenfield developments?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

          If the land is rezoned in the Metropolitan Region Scheme to urban, then there is a legal obligation on the Council to amend its local planning scheme to a zoning that is consistent with that and it is not specific about exactly what that zone is.  There is a requirement for the City to bring its scheme into consistency with the Region Scheme in the event that it is amended.  If those two things occurred it would be open to Council to have a developer contribution scheme in that area if it was approved by the Minister, but that is a decision the Council would make depending on the zone that was chosen.

3.       Would Council undertake to inform and advise all land owners within the Special Rural Zone of these changes that are currently being discussed and any future communications they might receive from the WA Planning Commission on this matter?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

          If and when the WA Planning Commission initiates an amendment to the Metropolitan Region Scheme within this area, it will undertake consultation in respect of those proposals.  The Council would have to determine what, if any, consultation it undertook to assist it in making its submission to the WA Planning Commission on their proposal.

PS04-01/16 Additions to Existing Intensive Agriculture (Lion Mushrooms) at 69 Rousset Road, Mariginiup

1.       Administration’s recommendation to report PS04-01/16 states the planning approval shall expire within three years.  If the business does not cease operating within this timeframe, what will happen?

Response by Manager Planning Implementation

That is a condition of planning approval.  If the landowners do not comply with that requirement they will be in breach of the Scheme and it will be open to the City to take compliance action against them.

2.         How long does that process normally take?

Response by Manager Planning Implementation

The timeframe can vary with the compliance process.  If the landowners respond immediately to the direction that the City might provide, the action would take a fairly short period of time but if they do not comply with the City’s direction and appeal the decision, that process can take several months, even years potentially. 

3.         If they do not stop and then submit an appeal which could take years, this will affect the value of the landowners property in that area.  How does Council ensure there is minimal influence on the landowners around this business?

Response by Manager Planning Implementation

The condition that has been proposed was initially put in place approximately four years ago when the application for the mushroom farm was previously considered by Council.  The condition was prepared in conjunction with the landowners so they are aware of their obligations should the zoning of the land change to urban.  It is not expected that they would not comply with that requirement but the options the City has is that it takes compliance action, such as issuing directions under the Town Planning and Development Act or it could involve prosecution for unauthorised development. 

PS02-01/16 Petition PT04-11/15:  Rezoning of the Gnangara Special Rural Area to Urban

Will Council give an undertaking that deferred urban is not an option for special rural areas?  Does deferred urban end with John Day, the State Planning Minister?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

This matter is not being considered by the Council.  Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendments are determined by the Minister and then the Governor.  Certain types of major Region Scheme amendments have to go to Parliament and they can be disallowed by Parliament.  Amendments to the local Town Planning Scheme, which would be to change from Special Rural would be a local scheme amendment and that is determined solely by the Minister.

Various issues, Alkimos

As President of the Alkimos Progress Association the following questions are submitted:-

1.         When will the Foreshore Management Plan be finalised and will it include a dog beach in the Alkimos area?

          Response by Mayor Roberts

          The Alkimos Foreshore Management Plan is on the Agenda this evening and it will then be forwarded to the West Australian Planning Commission for approval and the response to this question has been provided to you in writing and will be shown at
item 1 of PQ02-01/16 of the Minutes.

2.         When the time comes that Council takes over Alkimos Beach Estate, what, if any, facilities will be provided by Council for such things as beach shacks?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

No beach shacks are proposed in the Foreshore Management Plan which was approved by Council on 2 February 2016.  The Foreshore Management Plan will be forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission for their consideration.

3.       Beach access is open with a carpark for 40 cars but there are no bin facilities.  Will Council provide bins or does this come under Lendlease?

Response by Mayor Roberts

Discussions will be held with the developer Lendlease in relation to this. 

4.       It was questioned as to whether our water bills are higher at Alkimos Beach than other areas?  It was also questioned as to why we pay high rates even though we are not officially under the full jurisdiction of the City of Wanneroo?

Response by Director Corporate Strategy and Performance

Water rates are determined by the Water Corporation.

The property rates are based on what the property is used for, so in that area it would generally be residential and they are all properties within the jurisdiction of the City of Wanneroo and the rates will only differ where the value of the property is different. 

If there is a particular property that is of concern this can be brought to Administration’s attention.  A response to this question has been provided to you in writing and will be shown at item 5 of PQ02-01/16 of the Minutes.

5.       At Leatherback Park in Alkimos there is currently a temporary sports changerooms on the north side of the park – could this be built on the south side of the park, away from residents?

          A response to this question has been provided to you in writing and will be shown at item 6 of PQ02-02/16 of the Minutes.  The City will consult with the community.

Various Traffic and Litter Issues

1.         The City of Wanneroo is going to face traffic volume increase with the new roads being built that stop short of Romeo Road.  Could zebra crossings, flashing lights or overhead walkways or some other alternative be used for residents of Ridgewood and Merriwa trying to cross Connolly Drive?

Response by A/Director Assets

    Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director Assets

Main Roads WA is the authority responsible for the installation of zebra crossings where their use is limited to major commercial precincts with high pedestrian volumes. Based on the function of Connolly Drive, it is considered that the use of a zebra crossing is not appropriate and would not be supported by Main Roads WA.  Based on pedestrian and vehicle numbers, the lack of available land within the road reserve and the installation and maintenance costs involved, a pedestrian overpass is not considered feasible for this section of Connolly Drive.

The upgrade of Connolly Drive to median separated dual carriageway will assist residents in crossing as they will be able to make a two staged crossing rather than the current situation which requires both directions of traffic to be clear at the same time. Additionally, Administration will support the installation of a guarded children’s crossing, however an application would need to come directly from the school. As part of the City’s Road Safety Strategic Action Plan, the City has been proactive reviewing traffic volumes around all schools to assist schools in identifying crossing points that meet the minimum vehicle warrants for the installation of crossing points. The City will work with Merriwa Primary School to apply for the installation of a children’s crossing on Connolly Drive between Jenolan Way and Hinchinbrook Avenue as this road section meets the minimum vehicle warrants for a children’s crossing.

2.         There are a number of new schools throughout the City of Wanneroo and with the start of the school year, could zebra crossings and flashing lights be used in the Yanchep community on Beach Road and Merriwa Avenue?

Response by A/Director Assets

    Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director Assets

Main Roads WA  is the authority responsible for the installation of zebra crossings where their use is limited to major commercial precincts with high pedestrian volumes.  Their use on arterial roads such as Yanchep Beach Road is not appropriate and would not be supported by Main Roads WA. 

The most appropriate method of improving pedestrian safety at schools is through the use of guarded children’s crossings.  An application for such a crossing must be initiated by either the School Principal, or President/Secretary of a recognised school/parent organisation, for example Parents and Citizen's or Parents and Friends. Information relating to school crossings can be found on the WA Police website under Traffic – Children's Crossings. As part of the City’s Road Safety Strategic Action Plan, The City has been proactive reviewing traffic volumes around all schools to assist schools in identifying crossing point that meet the minimum vehicle warrants for the installation of crossing points. The City reviews the traffic volumes during schools hours at all schools each year and these new schools will be included in these reviews once they are operational. If any roads around these schools meet the minimum traffic volumes the City will advise the schools that they meet the minimum traffic volume warrants outlined by the Children’s Crossing and Road Safety Committee.

3.         Will be participating in the Clean up Australia Day on 12 February from 1-2.30 outside Merriwa Primary School and there is approximately 100kgs of rubbish.

Response by A/Director Assets

    Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director Assets

The City participates in Clean Up Australia Day. City owned locations are contacted each year to determine if the City can provide Clean Up Australia Day assistance.

Due to liability issues, the City can only provide this assistance on City owned land. In this instance, Merriwa Primary School is not located on City owned land.

4.         Could litter signs be placed outside Merriwa Primary School and at Quinns Beach itself, from outside the Surf Lifesaving Club to the marina and Fred Stubbs park and could bins be put in front of all beach entrances?

Response by A/Director Assets

    Question taken on notice.

Further Response by A/Director Assets

The City is conscious of ensuring effective placement of signage to gain maximum impact. It is not currently planned to place additional litter signage at Merriwa Primary School and the Quinns Beach foreshore, however it is planned to develop community education programs to deter the behaviour of littering in the community.

It is not practical for the City to place rubbish bins at all beach entrances. In some instances beach track entrances are not accessible collection points for vehicles, consequently rubbish bins are placed at accessible beach track entrances for disposal and collection of rubbish, however the City has endeavoured to place bins as near to beach entrance as possible which allows accessibility.

PS02-01/16 Petition PT04-11/15:  Rezoning of the Gnangara Special Rural Area to Urban

1.         Local Councils have lost a degree of their power recently regarding future suburban developments.  Understandably, there is a need for change to cater for the growing population but do not understand why a chosen lifestyle at home with nature residing on acreage in Gnangara is under threat.  The government has cleared a large proportion of the Gnangara pine plantation on Gnangara Road which is now void of any life, has this land been considered for future suburbia?  If so, why the need to suburbanise Gnangara?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

          No, this has not been considered by the City of Wanneroo.

2.         As noted earlier, it appears that local Council has lost a degree of power therefore if Elected Members cannot assist in retaining Gnangara as semi-rural then assistance is needed in regard to the proposed timeframe remaining before the onset of the urban development in Gnangara.  For example, should a kitchen renovation at a cost of $20,000 be proceeded with or leave it as is? 

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

          It is difficult to determine timeframes.  If there were a proposal from the WA Planning Commission to rezone that land to urban, that takes approximately a year to go through, local scheme amendments another year after that and the urban conversion process is about a five year process but this is pure speculation as it is all dependent on whether the WA Planning Commission decides to amend the Metropolitan Region Scheme. 

3.         Are renovations worth doing to the property?  If the house remained, would it be built around in the future or would it be demolished?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Exactly how land is urbanised is a complex matter, commonly it would involve the demolition of existing dwellings but it is possible to retain existing dwellings as there is no compulsory acquisition of land for urban purposes.  If owners do not wish to sell and develop their land then there is nothing that compels them to do that.  At the moment it is rural in the Region Scheme and until an amendment to that scheme that seeks to change that, then everything is speculation.

Response by Mayor Roberts

It is suggested that you contact the State Member for Wanneroo and speak to the staff at the Department of Planning who may be able to provide some advice.

PS03-01/16 Proposed Amendment 1304/57 TO Metropolitan Region Scheme: Lots 28 and 29 Belgrade Road and Lots 10 and 11 Dundebar Road, Wanneroo

Have not heard the result of the public comment regarding the restart of the mushroom farm in Belgrade Road so assume the buffer zone is still in place there.  Considering that and looking at the map on page 26 of tonight’s Agenda (Attachment 1) it is clear how isolated the four blocks are that are in question.  They are isolated from the bigger picture of East Wanneroo quite significantly.  The east is blocked by a buffer zone down to the lake, the south has a Water Corporation reserve and general reserve, the north has urban deferred land and special rural land and to the west there is developed urban land.    Has Council considered this in response to the MRS amendment?

Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

Council will be considering their response this evening.  Administration has taken this into consideration but the report is based primarily on assessment under the Council’s policy.

1.       With the money in reserves, how much has been set aside for the dualling of Marmion Avenue?

          Response by Director Corporate Strategy and Performance

          There is none in this year’s budget but will take the question on notice to look at the          long term financial plan.

          Further response by Director Corporate Strategy and Performance

          Council did not adopt a 10 Year Capital Works Program in 2015/16.  The draft 2016/17 20 Year Plan currently has the following listed in regards to the dualling of Marmion Avenue from Butler Boulevard to Yanchep –

o   2017/18 - $500,000 for design & documentation

o   2018/19 - $5M

o   2019/20 - $10M

o   2020/21 - $5M

          The draft 2016/17 20 Year Plan is in the process of being reviewed.

2.       With all the growth in the area around Marmion Avenue, there must be money for the       dualling.  Do developer contribution funds contribute to this?

          Response by Director Planning and Sustainability

No because the dualling of Marmion Avenue does not become necessary by virtue of adjoining developments, there are wider issues around that.

          Response by Mayor Roberts

          Consideration is being given by the Director to prepare a report for Council that it   becomes a Main Roads road. 

3.       Can the dualling of Marmion Avenue be fast tracked by:-

a)         Tendering outside of the City for this project; and

b)         Pre-funded out of reserves until any grant funding comes through?

          Response by Chief Executive Officer

          The dualling of Marmion Avenue is a significant, strategic project that Council would first need to determine its priority and as the Mayor has indicated, Council will need to consider as Marmion Avenue ultimately connects to the future city centre of Yanchep, whether that should be a State Government Main Roads road due to its connection between Perth City and Yanchep City Centre.

Cr Simpkins presented a petition of 34 signatories requesting the closure of Parin Road, Marangaroo at its entrance/exit from Wanneroo Road to turn it into a cul de sac for safety reasons.

Update

The petition organiser has been contacted to arrange a site meeting with residents along with traffic counts being collected to ensure traffic data is current for the roads identified in the petition.  A report with the outcomes will be presented to the 26 April Council Meeting.

Cr Cvitan presented a petition of 27 signatories requesting that Council allocate funds in the 2016/17 budget to replace the colourbond boundary fencing for properties backing onto Ocean Reef Road, being numbers 48-58 Goundrey Drive and 2-16 Popolo Place that form part of the Terrace Estate in Pearsall with a limestone product of a suitable depth and height to act as a road noise buffer.

Update

Report scheduled for March Council meeting

Cr Sangalli presented a petition of 15 signatories requesting that Council relocate the entrance point of Dewars Track away from residential homes on Damepattie and Sovereign Drives, Two Rocks in order to decrease the incidences of antisocial behaviour in that area.

Update

Since the petition was received, Administration’s efforts have mainly focussed on implementing  Council’s resolution made at the Special Council Meeting held on 15 December 2015 (item SCR01-12/15) to close the existing Dewars Beach Access Track. A review of potential alternative access points will be further considered by Administration and a report will be prepared for the April Council meeting.

Recommendation

That Council:-

1.       OBJECTS to Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment 1304/57 relating to Lots 28 and 29 Belgrade Road and Lots 10 and 11 Dundebar Road, Wanneroo on the following grounds:

a)      It is contrary to Local Planning Policy 5.3: East Wanneroo;

b)      It may set a precedent for further ad hoc, piecemeal planning rather than the East Wanneroo area being subject to a comprehensive planning approach as proposed under LPP 5.3;

c)      Through requiring that MRS rezoning to an urban type of zoning occur through only a limited number of amendments covering the total potential urban area, LPP 5.3 aims to facilitate a collaborative approach being taken by the various landowner groups and their respective consultants who are active in that area.  Piecemeal MRS Amendments discourages such collaboration occurring between the landowner groups;

d)      The Amendment Report does not include the requirement for Local Structure Plans (LSP) to be prepared as per the LPP 5.3, prior to subdivision stage; and

e)      It does not allow the City to implement a proper accreditation and accounting system to handle subsequent claims for DCP credits;  

2.       FORWARDS a copy of this Administration report to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) as the City's formal response to proposed Metropolitan Region Amendment 1304/57;

3.       ADVISES the WAPC and the Department of Planning that while Council is objecting to this current MRS Amendment for this land on Belgrade Road and Dundebar Road, it would support this land being included in an MRS Amendment which involved rezoning to an urban type of zoning of all of the East Wanneroo Structure Plan potential urban land.

4.       SEEKS confirmation from the WAPC that it has referred the amendment to the Federal Department of the Environment in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

5.       ADVISES the WAPC and the Department of Planning (DoP) that Council notes the advice provided by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) under Section 48A(1)(a) of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, and SEEKS discussions with DoP officers on the matters raised in that advice, as recommended by the EPA.

That Council:-

Alternative Motion

Moved Cr Cvitan, Seconded Cr Fenn

That Council:-

1.         REFUSES the development application for additions to the existing Intensive Agriculture (Lion Mushrooms) at Lot 20 (69) Rousset Road, Mariginiup, for the following reasons:

a)      the proposal will significantly expand the Intensive Agriculture which is considered to adversely impact on the amenity of nearby residents in terms of increased noise nuisance and traffic generation; and

2.      INSTRUCTS Administration to investigate possible breaches to conditions contained within the existing planning approval (DA2012/33), included as Attachment 2, and to provide its findings to Council; and
