Freeway access at Hester Avenue, Planting of trees and traffic safety at East Butler Primary School

1.       People are complaining about the end of the freeway at Hester Avenue with not being able to get onto Ridgewood Road and difficulty in accessing Wanneroo Road from Hester Avenue.  Will the freeway be extended to Romeo Road?

          Response by Mayor Roberts

          These questions need to be directed to Main Roads WA, however the community working group that was formed when the freeway extension was being considered, stated at that time that the freeway should be extended to Romeo Road to alleviate the pressure on Hester Avenue.  This was because there are three schools in close proximity to the off-ramp, who have Year 12 students so a lot of learner drivers and P-platers. Along that road is the Cambrai Village whose residents have concerns with the increase in traffic.  The City of Wanneroo has activated Connect Wanneroo and are requesting residents to make contact with their local State and Federal Members asking for this extension to Romeo Road.

2.       Has the City asked Main Roads for lights at the end of the freeway?

          Response by Mayor Roberts

          My understanding is that we have got the new roundabout at the end of the freeway        called a “dog bone” roundabout but will ask the A/Director, Assets to clarify.

Response by A/Director, Assets

          The road configuration is a “dog bone” designed by Main Roads based on traffic modelling, similar to the one on Kwinana Freeway which has worked successfully.  The roundabout will need to be monitored and the City will need to liaise with Main Roads to see how it flows and there will need to be a change of behaviour of motorists as it is a different configuration so initially there will be teething problems. 

          Further Response by A/Director Assets

No the city has not requested lights/signals at the Hester Avenue intersection with the Freeway.

3.       Residents want to plant trees on verges.  Does the City encourage the community to plant trees?

          Response by A/Director, Assets

          The City planted 3,000 trees last financial year and it is budgeted to plant another 3,000 trees will be planted this year on road reserve, parks and verges.  There is a Residential Street Tree program where residents can call and request a tree on their verge. The City has a draft street tree policy coming to Council in the near future which stipulates at least one tree on each residential verge.  The City also audits and identifies areas to plant trees, and next year this will be based on heat imagery around the City.

4.       Will the City assist people who want trees on their verge?

          Response by A/Director, Assets

          Residents can ring the City and be put through to the Parks and Conservation Management team who will assist them with their enquiry.

5.       Butler East School – are lollipop people able to stand on roundabouts and direct people across the road, especially at Land Beach Boulevard?  There is a lot of hooning on that road.  Have been in touch with the School’s P&C and the Police and they have said to bring it up at Council.

          Response by Mayor Roberts

          The Road Safety Officer will communicate with the school and will ensure the Director notifies local police with regard to the hooning.

Rezoning of Quinns Rocks

Five years ago the City passed a motion to rezone Quinns Rocks.  Last year it was taken off the Agenda.  Can Council put rezoning of Quinns Rocks back on the Agenda for two reasons – one that Quinns was linked to Yanchep which has no sewerage so can’t proceed and second was that the State Government now requires Council to produce a plan to say the housing and road won’t fall into the ocean due to beach erosion.  The City has been doing studies on this for some time and have produced some very good plans.  However, plans have been mainly looking at saving the beaches.  The road and house could be saved by putting in a beach wall and zoning could continue.  If Council says cannot have a wall due to the budget, the alternative would be to have a setback of 80m so the first row of houses and road could fall into the ocean but that would be as much as would happen in the next 100 years.   The rest of Quinns Rocks could be rezoned based on this setback.

Response by Mayor Roberts

This will require a detailed answer.  You may need to meet with the Director of Planning and Sustainability to discuss this.

Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

The recoding of Quinns Rocks has been delayed primarily due to Council looking at erosion issues in Quinns Rocks.  There have been a number of improvements with groynes erected or proposed to be erected in the area.  Until coastal risk issues are resolved through a coastal risk hazard adaptation plan, it would be inappropriate to progress the recoding until it is known what the impact of that study in accordance with State Planning Policy 2.6 is.  In terms of the linkage with Yanchep, a report was prepared for Council a number of years ago, that did also refer to the recoding proposals for Yanchep and Two Rocks however that can easily be decoupled and there is no reason, subject to resolving the coastal issue, why the recoding proposal for Quinns Rocks couldn’t progress independently.

Response by Mayor Roberts

A year long study has been conducted about the beach erosion and consultants have been diligent in how to assess that.  The City is waiting on the final results and will be consulting with residents before making a decision, as it would be irresponsible to make a decision before having all the facts.  It would be advisable for you to seek a meeting with the Director of Planning and Sustainability and Coastal Engineer.

PS05-08/17 Consideration of Amendment No. 8 to the Approved Structure Plan No. 57

1.         Thank you for not supporting the amendment.  Is there still a possibility that the Western Australian Planning Commission can overrule the decision?

          Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

          Yes, the City makes a recommendation to the Western Australian Planning Commission however they are the final determiners of the structure plan proposal.

2.         From the original traffic report, the total hasn’t changed but the vehicle distribution towards the road has changed from the traffic report to today’s meeting.  What is the reason for that and can it influence the decision of the Western Australian Planning Commission?

          Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

          Question taken on notice.

          Further Response by Director, Planning and Sustainability

          Administration will contact Mr Patel to clarify his question and will then provide a detailed response.
