Item AS01-07/16 – Petition PT01-05/16 Petition to Request Speed Humps at roundabout at Hinchinbrook Avenue and Ridgewood Boulevard, Ridgewood

Could Council please relook at this dangerous hooning situation at this roundabout as there have been three fatalities in the area? The police have been notified on many occasions but unfortunately have been unable to catch the offenders.   Advice received from the police is to ask Council to possibly install speed humps to slow vehicles.  There are young families in the area and the petition is seeking Council to relook at this situation.

Response by Mayor Roberts

This will be considered by Council this evening.

Various Items – Syringes and Use of Pesticides

1.         On Facebook on the weekend it was reported a syringe needle was found in Somerley Park near the gazebo. Information is that Council would attend to them being picked up, is this correct?

Response by Director, Assets

Yes, normally if they are reported the City will send out a maintenance crew.

2.         I live alongside a walkway and when I phoned the City, I was asked to pick it up, put it in a bottle and bin it, so it seems there are two different ways of going about this?

Response by Mayor Roberts

Question taken on notice.

Further Response by Director, Assets

          This matter was further discussed with Mr Flood on 20 July 2016, investigations are continuing to enable a more detailed response to be provided to Mr Flood.  The City is also reviewing its internal processes for dealing with this type of incident with relevant staff.

3.         In the response to my question in the Minutes of the Ordinary Council Meeting of 24 May 2016, the seventh paragraph, based on assessment by Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) the City will continue to use glyphosate products in accordance with the labelled instructions.  While driving down Marmion Avenue recently, I observed a Council worker with a spray container with presumably a poison, spraying weeds and I am concerned this worker had no protective clothing?

Response by Director, Assets

          Question taken on notice to investigate further to see if there was a requirement for protective clothing.

Further Response by Director, Assets

Each pesticide product has specific personal protective equipment requirements based on the product poison schedule as determined by the Australian Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). After further discussion with Mr Flood on 20 July 2016, it has been established that this was a City contractor and not a City employee.  The matter will be investigated and the contractor advised of the requirement to ensure that all staff wear the required personal protective equipment in accordance with the specific product label when applying pesticides within the City.

4.         Is City staff applying pesticides trained in chemical handling through a registered training operation?

Response by Director, Assets

Yes that is correct.

5.         In recent times concerns have been raised about human exposure to glyphosate following the assessments of the International Agency for Research and Cancer which classified glyphosate in a group of chemicals that is probably carcinogenic to humans and linked to a variety of health problems including birth defects, Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease. 

Response by Director, Assets

Normally spraying is undertaken in non-peak times and signs advising that spraying is occurring are placed in the zone being sprayed.

Response by Chief Executive Officer

I understand the City also enables residents to register if they have an allergy to pesticides and pine oil, steam or organic substances are used instead?

Response by Director, Assets

Yes that is correct, the City does have a listing of no spray zones and if residents contact the City it will be investigated and included on the list if applicable.  Staff are then advised not to use chemical products in those zones.

Further Response by Director, Assets

          In recent times, concerns have been raised about human exposure to glyphosate, following an International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) assessment which classified glyphosate in a group of chemicals that is 'probably carcinogenic to humans'.  The IARC assessment looked at the intrinsic toxicity potential or 'hazard' of glyphosate as a cancer causing agent. Indoor emissions from burning wood and high temperature frying, some shift work and consumption of red meat are also classified as a probable carcinogenic to humans and are in the same category as glyphosate.  Agents classified by the IARC in the highest category (carcinogenic to humans) include alcohol, consumption of processed red meat, solar and UV radiation (sunlight), diesel engine exhaust emissions, outdoor air pollution, soot and wood dust.  When making an assessment of the risk of these substances or lifestyles they did not consider how the risks can be managed in actual use situations and they did not assess the risk of glyphosate causing cancer when used in accordance with the product label instructions in a registered chemical product. 

          As part of the regulatory process undertaken by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) and pesticide regulators in other countries around the world, a hazard assessment is just one part of the overall risk assessment required to determine the risks for people using a formulated chemical product such as glyphosate.  It is not the role of the IARC to consider how a formulated chemical product is used, or how human exposure can be minimised by following safety directions on a product label.  This means that the IARC findings cannot be directly compared to assessments conducted but regulatory authorities for the purposes of approval or registration of a pesticide product. Assessments by regulators such as the APVMA include consideration of appropriate risk measures for safe use.  All glyphosate products that are registered for use in Australia have been through a robust chemical risk assessment process by the APVMA and are safe to use, provided they are used as per the label instructions. 

          The current assessment by the APVMA is that products containing glyphosate are safe to use in Australia as per the label instructions. Based on this assessment by the APVMA, the City will continue to use glyphosate products in accordance with the label instructions.

          The City provides Public Notices in the Wanneroo Link and on its website informing residents of upcoming weed control programs.  The City also has a 'no spray list' that individual residents can register their property on so that the verge adjacent to their property is excluded from general seasonal kerb line and footpath weed control using chemical based products.

          The City utilises other non-chemical based products for weed control in some areas where it is practically possible to manage weeds effectively.  These products include acetic based acids and pine oil.  Whilst these products provide initial knock down control of weeds in some environments, they are not as effective as glyphosate based products for general weed control in kerb line and hardstand areas.  Steam can also be sued for general weed control in non-vegetation areas but at up to four times the cost of traditional chemical weed control methods it is not economically viable to use on a wider scale.  The City will continue to utilise non chemical methods for weed control as part of a wider integrated pest management program in the future where it is both practical and economically viable to do so.

Request for investigation of tender and quotation processes

Question received in writing prior to the meeting and circulated was read out by Mr Synnerdahl as follows:  “On Friday 15 July 2016 I provided the CEO Daniel Simms and Mayor Tracey Roberts with written details of what I believe is a failure of offices from the City of Wanneroo to follow established procedures and processes involving the tender and quotation processes.  I believe on a number of occasions these processes have been biased, unethical and staff have been prejudicial in the awarding of contracts. 

I have formally requested an independent and in depth review by council to investigate these assertions.

Will these assertions be formally investigated and will the results of this investigation be made available to the complainant and/or the public.  In the event it is found that staff have breached established government and council requirements what action will council take?”

Thanked Council for a response received in addition to that provided by the Manager Governance and Legal.

Circulated Written Response by Manager Governance and Legal

A significant amount of information has been provided by Mr Synnerdahl that the City’s Administration will need to review in the first instance and determine the appropriate action.  The City’s Administration will keep Mr Synnerdahl informed of any action taken and the outcome of such action, including notifying any external agency where such notification is required.  

Response by Chief Executive Officer

Confirmed that he had formally written to Mr Synnerdahl.  Council has very strong policies and procedures in regards to procurement but any good organisation is open to having requests to review those and the application which Mr Synnerdahl has done.  The City will duly review, follow and test whether procedures and processes have been followed in this regard.

Item PS01-07/16 – Adoption of Local Heritage Survey, Draft LPP 4.12 and Proposed Scheme Heritage List

1.         With reference to the heritage survey on the agenda, will Council take over from the Department of Parks and Wildlife the full responsibility for the preservation and restoration of the City of Wanneroo’s deteriorating heritage buildings located in Yellagonga Regional Park, including Perry’s Cottage and Bunkhouse in Perry’s Paddock and the Della’s Dairy structures near the corner of Wanneroo Road and Whitfords Avenue?

Response by Mayor Roberts

Advised that the report had been withdrawn from the agenda by the Director Planning and Sustainability and advised to contact the Director in regard to this matter.

Response by A/Director, Planning and Sustainability

The maintenance, repairs and conservation of heritage buildings is the responsibility of the owner of the land upon which the heritage buildings are located.

The Perry’s Paddock Cottages & Stables are located at 1170 Ocean Reef Road, Woodvale.  This land is owned by the Department of Planning, however, is managed by Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW). The City has been advised by DPaW that they monitor the heritage structures within Perry’s Paddock and undertake maintenance as required.  There are currently no large-scale conservation works planned for any of the buildings located within Perry’s Paddock.

Della’s Dairy is located at 429 Wanneroo Road, Woodvale.  This land is owned by the Western Australian Planning Commission; but also managed by DpaW.  The City has been advised by DPaW that they monitor the Della’s Dairy heritage structure and undertake maintenance as required. There is currently no large-scale conservation works planned for Della’s Dairy.

During the process of reviewing the Local Heritage Survey a number of heritage listed buildings were identified as requiring some repairs, maintenance or conservation work.  Administration intends to write to the owners of the land upon which these heritage buildings are located, to request that repairs, maintenance or conservation work be undertaken.  Notwithstanding the advice provided by DPaW above, both Perry’s Paddock Cottage & Stables and Della’s Dairy were places identified as part of the Local Heritage Survey as requiring improvement works and letters will therefore be sent to the Department of Planning and the WAPC to request that maintenance and conservation works be undertaken for these structures.

2.         Will Council ensure the preservation of the badly deteriorated Perry’s Cottage by the provision of a roof covering and other necessary structural works?

Response by A/Director Planning and Sustainability

          See response to Question 1.

That the minutes of the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 28 June 2016 be confirmed.

Carried Unanimously

Wanneroo Aquamotion' s Swim School has recently been the recipient of two awards.

In May of this year, Wanneroo Aquamotion's Swim School was awarded the National award for the "Best Swim School for Staff Development". This is an annual award presented by Swim Australia and the Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA) and was received in recognition of the consistent high quality and content of the centre's regular in services for staff development  and training sessions.

The Swim School has also recently been named as the Western Australian "Recognised Swim Centre of the Year 2016" by AUSTSWIM. This is an annual award that recognises excellence, commitment and innovation in the development and delivery of swimming and water safety programs. AUSTSWIM is Australia’s national organisation for the teaching of swimming and water safety.

These awards are recognition of the tremendous work of the Swim School team and other centre staff over a long period of time in providing high quality swim school programs to the community.

With us tonight is Lee Duffy, Wanneroo Aquamotion Swim School Coordinator, who is representing the team at Wanneroo Aquamotion.

A City of Wanneroo employee has been recognised for his efforts to change travel behaviours.

Road Safety and TravelSmart Officer Ryan Gibson took out the TravelSmart Local Government Champion award last month for outstanding success in championing the active transport cause throughout the City of Wanneroo. The TravelSmart Awards recognise the outstanding achievements and contributions of workplaces and local governments engaged in travel behaviour change programs which aims for reduction in congestion and increase the number of people choosing to walk, cycle and use public transport. Ryan has been an integral member of the ‘Your Move’ Wanneroo project team and played a significant part in ensuring the success of the program.

Ryan has also been responsible for implementing the TravelSmart Schools and Workplace program in the City, as well as handling public requests regarding speed zones and children crossing infrastructure. He works hard with many schools Roadwise committees within the City and helps promote road safety and active transport participation.

He is also a key member in delivering a successful Blessing of Roads event at Easter. Ryan was also acknowledged for ensuring TravelSmart and Active Transport principles are advocated for and considered as core business for all City business units. Ryan’s TravelSmart and Active Transport knowledge has provided invaluable advice and expertise for various policy and program development projects and has led to the creation and adoption of new policies that will ensure the City of Wanneroo is a supportive and safe environment for people to walk, ride and use public transport. As a result of his significant contribution, the City has recently adopted a new Pathway Policy and prepared a Cycle Plan.

The City of Wanneroo team goes above and beyond to make our community a great and safe one and Ryan is a perfect example of that commitment.

On page 84 of the agenda, in 2.7 it refers to advocating for the final Gnangara strategy, but thought that report was finished in 2008?  Can the Director advise what version of this are we talking about and when are we likely to expect this version?

Response by A/Director, Planning and Sustainability

My understanding is that the Gnangara Sustainability Strategy was never finalised and we don’t have a definitive timeframe as to when it will be.

1.         Is Council going to put a submission into the Department of Environment as the  Inghams’ licence is up for renewal and out for public comment at the moment, with response deadline by August 8?

Response by A/Director, Planning and Sustainability

Yes, the intention is that we will provide a response about the request and will provide Elected Members with a copy.

Further Response by A/Director, Planning and Sustainability

The application by Inghams Enterprises Pty Ltd for a renewal of the Animal Feed Manufacturing licence at the Wanneroo Feedmill was advertised for public comment on 18 July 2016, with comments closing on 8 August 2016.  Administration intends to lodge a submission on this proposal and will provide a copy of the submission to all Elected Members once complete.

2.         In regard to walls on external boundaries of new subdivisions, does Council have any say on what materials are used?  For example the wall along East Road as heading south, is bright yellow which is quite ugly.  Can we not get consistency along that area?

Response by A/Director, Planning and Sustainability

          We do have a Uniform Fencing Policy and so that should apply to these sorts of instances.  Will investigate that specific example to see to what extent that policy has been applied.

Further Response by A/Director, Planning and Sustainability

          The Uniform Fencing Policy generally relates to the construction of such fencing through the subdivision process to achieve consistency in the appearance of uniform fencing across the subdivisional area.  Specifically, the policy sets out for uniform fencing to be a maximum height of 2.1 metres and can be constructed of timber, super six, brick or masonry, or other approved materials. The Policy does not cover the colour of fencing to be constructed.

          In the case of the specific example referred to, construction of the uniform fencing was required by a condition of planning approval for the grouped dwelling development.

          The condition required uniform fencing to be provided on the boundary abutting Wanneroo Road and East Road to the specification and satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo.

          Subsequently, when a building permit for the uniform fencing was lodged it was proposed that it would comprise of a solid rendered wall at a height of 1.8 metres, constructed above a limestone retaining wall.  This height and finish of the wall was considered satisfactory and subsequently, the building permit was granted.

1.         During public question time Mr Jambanis raised a question about the speed humps in a roundabout near his residence.  In other local governments, for example the City of Vincent, at approaches and exits at roundabouts there are speed humps located.  What conditions need to be present for those type of speed humps to be installed?

Response by Director, Assets

Normally speed cushions are installed on a straight approach.  Depending on the roundabout configuration, if there is a deflection there then there is no need for speed humps.  The intention is for motorists to enter the roundabout at a slow speed not normal speed.  If there is a straight approach potentially there could be a possibility to install speed cushions before entering the roundabout.  There is one for example in Ashby behind the Operations Centre, but there are not too many in Wanneroo.  Most roundabouts have deflections so no need to install speed cushions.

2.         A number of residents in the South Ward that frequently use the netball courts at Kingsway, have raised the question of whether or not Council will be providing flood lighting to the eastern netball courts?  Can Council confirm these will be provided?

Response by Director, Community & Place

          As per the adopted 2016/17 CWB and draft 20 Year Capital Works Program Budget, the project is listed as follows:

          2016/17 – PR 4033 Design at $60k

          2017/18 – PR 4033 Construction at $400k

Cr Zappa presented a petition of 86 signatories requesting the provision of transportable change rooms and contribution to construct additional change rooms for the Wanneroo Soccer Club.

This petition be forwarded to the Community & Place Directorate for action.

Cr Newton presented a petition of 8 signatories and online petition regarding dog attack on cat named George in Carramar, requesting a review of CCTV footage to confirm no harm to cat in attack and the dog to be tested to see if contains any pit bull genes.

This petition be forwarded to the Community & Place Directorate for action.

Cr Winton presented a petition of 30 signatories of residents wishing to highlight a preference for any upgrade to the Callosa Park public space/reserve, to be a more user friendly and appealing area, similar to the park area to the south along Marmion Avenue at Butler.
