Good evening Councillors, staff, ladies and gentlemen, we wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we are meeting on, the Whadjuk people. We would like to pay respect to the Elders of the Nyoongar nation, past and present, who have walked and cared for the land and we acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contributions made to the life of this city and this region and I invite you to bow your head in prayer:
Lord, We ask for your blessing upon our City, our community and our Council. Guide us in our decision making to act fairly, without fear or favour and with compassion, integrity and honesty.

Cr Hayden, Cr Newton, Mayor Roberts, Alternative Motion Moved Cr Newton, Seconded Cr Cvitan That Council:- 1. Pursuant to Clause 68(2)(c) of the Deemed Provisions of the District Planning Scheme No. 2, REFUSES the Development Application (DA2018/736) as shown in Attachment 2 and Attachment 5 for a Child Care Centre at Lot 400 (10) Harbour Elbow, Banksia Grove for the following reasons: a) The proposed Child Care Centre is not considered to be compatible with the surrounding Residential and Special Rural land uses and is therefore not considered to be consistent with the objectives of the Special Residential zone; b) The proposal does not comply with Clause 67(m) of the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 as the proposal may have a negative impact on the amenity of the surrounding residents by way of increased noise and increased traffic generation; c) The proposal does not comply with Clause 67(n) of the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 as it will have a negative impact on the natural environment and character of the area by removal of 20 trees; d) The proposal does not comply with Clause 67(t) of the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 as it will generate traffic that will negatively impact the efficiency and safety of the road system in the locality;

Location – Neighbouring Uses iii. 9.1 Amenity – Residential areas 2. ADVISES the submitters of its decision. carried 10/3
For the motion: Cr Cvitan, Cr Fenn, Cr Flood, Cr Hayden, Cr Miles, Cr Newton, Cr Nguyen, Mayor Roberts, Cr Treby and Cr Zappa
Against the motion: Cr Aitken, Cr Coetzee, Cr Driver
Reason for Alternative Motion Whilst Council does not object to the provision of these facilities or need for this particular development, Council does object to this proposal for the following reasons: · Council considers that whilst the child care centre is a discretionary use within the Special Residential Zone, it is out of character with the surrounding residential environment and is therefore not consistent with the objectives of the zone. · The development will detrimentally impact the amenity of the surrounding residents by reason of noise from 120 children playing in the outdoor activity area and by significantly increasing traffic to and from this site. · These uses would be better located within or adjacent to an activity centre or commercial and business zone where they would be complementary to other developments and could be accessible by a choice of means of transport and that would reduce the need for multiple trips. · The development will result in an unacceptable loss of vegetation from the site, particularly to deliver the 37 car parking bays. The car park itself will be out of character with the special rural environment and should be located within the building envelope.

Advocacy Factsheet: Reserves and Open Spaces
The City of Wanneroo is asking the Federal Government to:
· Contribute $5m to the Butler North District Open Space development
· Contribute $6.5m to Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex upgrades
· Contribute $30m for the Alkimos Regional Open Space facility development
The City of Wanneroo is asking the State Government to acquire;
· Approximately 50 hectares of suitable land for Alkimos Regional Open Space
· Approximately 50 hectares of suitable land for Yanchep Regional Open Space
Background
What is Active Open Space?
There are three tiers of Active Open Space dependent on the size, function and population catchment. These comprise: Regional, District and Neighbourhood.
Regional Open Space (ROS) is land designated and designed to support structured sports, leisure and recreation. The Planning and Development Act 2005 requires land to be reserved in the WA Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) for this purpose. Once the reserved land has been acquired by the State Government (through the Metropolitan Region Improvement Fund) the City of Wanneroo (the City) is then able to progress the planning and development of ROS within its jurisdiction.
ROS is between 20 and 50+ hectares, catering for a minimum population catchment of 50,000 people. Serving the community as a focal point for activity and sport, ROS is capable of vigorous frequent use by large numbers of people. Attracting visitors from across the metropolitan area, its use is not restricted to one local government vicinity.
Conversely, land
for District Open Space (DOS) is provided by the City for organized sporting
use, informal recreation, children’s play, dog walking, social gatherings
and individual activities. Ranging 7 to 20 hectares in size, it caters for a
catchment of 25,000 residents. DOS may also serve purposes of conservation and
environmental management.
The Need
Lack of Active Open Space
There is currently no active Regional Open Space in the Wanneroo Coastal Suburbs (WCS) from Tamala Park to Two Rocks. The only active ROS located in the North-West Sub-Region (Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup), catering for 342,000 residents are:
· 65 hectares at Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex (25km from the southern end of the (WCS); and
· 35 hectares at Arena Joondalup (7km from the southern end of the WCS).
Over 1.5m people a year frequent these two venues. This equates to over 4,100 patrons per day. This number could potentially increase to 6,300 by 2036 (as population growth continues and if no additional facilities are provided). Both venues are currently close to maximum capacity and will not cater for this increase (Arena Joondalup, Annual Report 2012/13 and City of Wanneroo, Facilities Usage Data, 2013).
Rapid Population Growth
The City is one of the fastest growing local government areas in Western Australia, and indeed the Nation. The majority of our growth is expected to occur in the WCS, with Perth’s next major Strategic Metropolitan Centre at Yanchep currently being developed.
Currently, 82,000 residents live in the WCS. By 2026 the population in these suburbs is forecast to increase to 138,040 (an additional 56,000 people). By 2036 the population in the WCS if forecast to be 190,260 (+ 108,000) (City of Wanneroo, Population Forecasts, id Consulting, 2016).
Based on these population figures, one active ROS facility is currently required in the WCS. Over the next 20 years, 2 additional ROS venues will be needed. By 2070, it is envisaged that up to 7 facilities will be necessary.
Existing Active Open Space Over-Usage Capacity
Due to the lack of active ROS in the WCS, all existing active local and DOS are being utilised above their maximum capacity.
This continual use means the turf undergoes stress with no ‘recovery’ time. Facilities and infrastructure require continual maintenance and there is no allowance for future population needs.
The Benefits
The benefits of adequately planning Active Open Space;
· Ensures sufficient land is available to cater for future demand;
· Ensures the longevity of existing local and district active open space in the corridor;
· Maximises co-location and shared use opportunities with future and existing education sites, including efficient management structures, shared use of built amenities, car parking and coordinated traffic management;
· Maximises accessibility and connectivity to public transport and the primary road network; and
· Encourages and supports active lifestyles and improved physical health and wellbeing.
Consequences of Non-Delivery
· Local residents, especially families with young children, will not have access to facilities for active sport and recreation as existing facilities will not be able to cater for the demand;
· The longevity of existing active sport and recreation facilities will be jeopardized due to overuse; and
· Risk of potential negative health effects on the community such as disengagement (particularly youth), isolation and depression which can be commonly seen in outer metropolitan suburbs.
Butler North District Open Space
Current Project Status
Since 2007 the City has been working with key stakeholders to deliver the Butler District Open Space (BNDOS), an 11ha site located 43km north of Perth.
This project will see Butler North servicing over 75,000 residents by addressing an unmet demand for playing fields, hard courts, amenities buildings, lighting and passive park infrastructure. It will effectively cater to the ever-increasing popularity of active and passive sporting interests in the growing northern corridor.
The site will comprise two multi-purpose turf playing areas, a sports amenities building and car park. It will also host 16 multi-use hardcourts, equipment storage, toilets and a kiosk. Additionally, a playground, path networks, barbeque facilities and associated passive park infrastructure are included in its design.
The project is scheduled to proceed as follows:
· 2016/17: Concept design and consultation (complete)
· 2017/18: Detailed design (underway)
· 2018/19: Construction Stage 1
· 2019/20: Construction Stage 2
It is anticipated that BNDOS will cater for a large number of community sports including: AFL, cricket, soccer, basketball, softball, athletics, cycling, netball, basketball and tennis. This is also a shared use facility with the Department of Education and will provide much needed sport and recreation amenities to support the existing primary school and future high school.
The project is currently undergoing clearing approvals, with civil design works to commence February 2018.
Construction of one of the ovals has been scheduled for completion in line with the opening of the high school in 2020. The remaining works to be finalised in 2021.
Indicative Budget Implications
The entire project has been costed at$22m, with funding sources coming from the City, State Government and a developer contribution.
What is Required
Financial assistance from the Federal Government in the order of $5m, will assist the City in delivering the BNDOS development. This will enable the City to put ratepayer funds towards the planning of future ROS and DOS provision, thereby meeting the needs of a growing and diverse sporting community.
Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex
Current Project Status
Background
Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex (Kingsway) is a regional level active reserve located at 100 Kingsway, Madeley, with a total area of approximately 64.63ha. The reserve is Crown land vested to the City for the purpose of Recreation.
Kingsway services more than 11 different clubs and their members, residents from Madeley, Darch, Landsdale and across the City of Wanneroo. It also accommodates visitors from the greater metropolitan area who choose to access the quality facilities on offer at this regional reserve. The ongoing development of Kingsway will help to cater for the growth in population within the City over the next 10-20 years.
Kingsway is home to a large number of clubs and user groups, including but not limited to:
· Kingsway Sportsman’s Cricket Club
· Kingsway Football and Sporting Club
· Kingsway Junior Football Club
· Kingsway Little Athletics Club
· Olympic Kingsway Sports Club (Soccer)
· Vikings Baseball Club
· Wanneroo City Soccer Club
· Wanneroo District Cricket Club
· Wanneroo Districts Hockey Club
· Wanneroo District Netball Association
· Wanneroo Districts Rugby Union Club
· Wanneroo Giants Baseball Club
There are also a number of smaller affiliate clubs and user groups that use the sporting
grounds for training purposes.
In October 2010, the City of Wanneroo commissioned a review of the Kingsway
Redevelopment Master Plan. This plan was originally developed in 2003 to prepare an updated list of projects / works deemed necessary by both the City and the user clubs of the reserve. A significant amount of work has been undertaken over the last 10 years with the City spending in excess of $32.6m on redevelopment projects at Kingsway since 2006. The City is continuing the redevelopment of the reserve through a range of different projects and is seeking funding support from the Federal Government.
Funding to Date
Kingsway Netball Clubrooms
The State Government has awarded $500,000 to support stage 1 of this project. The City is also seeking a Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) grant for $200,000 which, if successful, will contribute to stage 2 in 2019/20.
The City of Wanneroo developed a concept design for a number of additions and alterations to the building to help address the current and future needs of the facility’s primary user, the Wanneroo District Netball Association (WDNA).
This project will redevelop and extend the Kingsway netball clubrooms. WDNA had a total of 839 players participating across their winter and spring competitions during 2017.
The project is scheduled as follows:
· 2017/18 – Concept & Detailed Design
· 2018/19 – Construction Stage 1
· 2019/20 – Construction Stage 2
Project Scope
Change Room Upgrades
To accommodate the growth in participation across the various sports on offer at Kingsway, the City is devising a number of clubroom upgrades to increase the number of change room and storage facilities available. Upgrades include:
· Women’s Change rooms and Storage Facilities - supporting the rise in female sporting participation
· Cricket and Hockey Change rooms and Storage Facilities
· Wanneroo City Soccer Club Change rooms
The Wanneroo City Soccer Club Changerooms Project aims to deliver six new multi-purpose changerooms and a storeroom (as an extension to the existing clubhouse) to accommodate the growth in team numbers for the club over recent years.
Aquatic Play Space
The City is making plans for the future construction of an aquatic play space at Kingsway next to an existing regional Dinosaur Park playground.
Design options for the Kingsway Aquatic Play Space will be developed in the near future for both a splash-pad style facility and a dinosaur themed “water play” area to complement the existing Dinosaur Park, to accommodate a wide range of ages and abilities.
Soccer Facilities
The City aims to create an elite soccer facility within Kingsway to cater for higher level / grade soccer matches with increased lighting requirements for night games. The intention is to also provide year-round access for teams through the conversion of two of the pitches to artificial turf surfaces.
Status
Design is currently underway for the upgrade of the Wanneroo City Soccer Club change rooms and development of the Aquatic Play Space at Kingsway.
Indicative Budget
To assist with the continued redevelopment of the Kingsway reserve, the City is seeking $6.5 million from the Federal Government to undertake the following projects that will deliver significant local and State-wide community benefits:
· Elite Soccer Facility - $4 million
· Women’s Change room and Storage Facilities (AFL) - $900,000
· Cricket and Hockey Change rooms and Storage Facilities - $900,000
· Wanneroo City Soccer Club Changerooms - $400,000
· Kingsway Aquatic Play Space - $300,000
What Is Required?
$6.5 million from the Federal Government will assist the City to improve facilities at the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex.
Alkimos Regional Open Space
There is a need to acquire land and develop an Alkimos Regional Open Space (AROS) that caters to the local residents and the greater metropolitan area.
Current Project Status
The Alkimos Eglinton District Structure Plan, endorsed by the City of Wanneroo and the Western Australian Planning Commission, indicates a 50-hectare site for future active ROS is required to the east of the structure plan area. The Northern Coastal Growth Corridor Community Facility Plan, endorsed by the City of Wanneroo, identifies the potential need for a ROS in the area by 2036.
The City has commenced initial planning for the ROS. A number of preferred sites have been considered. Once a preferred site has been identified and land acquisition, zoning and other issues resolved, other planning stages including detailed design and financial modelling will follow.
There is potential for the reserve to house mainstream sports (AFL, soccer, cricket, netball and rugby), and also host sports that are in need of facilities (hockey, softball, baseball or similar).
The City is currently investigating the provision of cycling facilities in the northern corridor, specifically the feasibility of providing a criterion track. This would be a training facility for City cycling clubs and could potentially attract state-wide competition.
Indicative Budget
Cost estimations for the provision of Alkimos Regional Open Space (AROS) indicated
the facility will cost approximately $102 million excluding land acquisition costs.
Preliminary cost estimates (based on previous experience and projects) for the construction of the site include:
· Zone 1 Two football ovals (AFL / Cricket) and 32 netball courts - $22.9m
· Zone 2 Four full soccer fields and athletics track - $20.5m
· Zone 3 Soccer / diamond sports - $18.1m
· Zone 4 Four rugby fields and eight touch-rugby fields - $17.9m
· Zone 5 Three baseball / softball diamonds - $20.6m
· Criterion track and amenities building - $5.9m
What Is Required?
$30m from the Federal Government will contribute to the delivery of the Alkimos Regional Open Space facilities following land acquisition.
The City of Wanneroo is asking the State Government to acquire;
· Approximately 50 hectares of suitable land for Alkimos Regional Open Space
· Approximately 50 hectares of suitable land for Yanchep Regional Open Space

Advocacy Factsheet: Regional Northern Coastal Suburbs Swimming Pool
The City of Wanneroo is requesting $40 million to develop a facility within Alkimos Regional Open Space (indicative location) including a 50 metre heated outdoor swimming pool and toddler pool.
Background
Alkimos Regional Open Space is proposed to be the centre for elite sports facilities serving the northern coastal suburbs. The proposed 50 -metre outside pool adds an important aquatic sports facility to the bigger picture. The facility is expected to accommodate;
· Local and regional recreational swimmers
· Students from nearby schools for a range of water-based sports such as water polo and competitive swimming
· Swimming clubs
· Elite sports such as competitive diving
· Opportunities for state, national and international competitions and events
The Need
Council has identified that the pool is required for the region. There is no public aquatic facility north of Aquamotion (in the suburb of Wanneroo) within the City and the closest 50 metre pool is in Joondalup. These facilities are approximately 20 kilometres (approximately 30 minutes drive) from the planned facility.
The need had been originally identified in the Northern Corridor Community Facilities Plan with an implementation date of 2042. At the Council meeting held February 2018 Council agreed that this date needs to be brought forward and agreed to advocate for this to occur.
Alignment to the Strategic Community Plan
The provision of the Northern Coastal Suburbs Swimming pool and toddler pool aligns with the City’s Strategic Community Facility Plan 2017-2027 as per the following:
1. Society
1.1 Healthy and Active people
1.1.1 Create opportunities that encourage community wellbeing and active and healthy lifestyles;
1.1.2 Facilitate opportunities within the City to access peak and elite activities
Rapid Population Growth
The City of Wanneroo population forecast for 2018 is 212,096 and is forecast to grow to 412,996 by 2041.
The following table using ID population projections shows the forecast population growth for the following northern corridor suburbs:
School Aged Children
A petition has been started in the community and stands at 1836 signatures with a goal of 5000.
Associated and Catholic Colleges of WA (ACC) Organises and oversees one of Australia’s largest school sporting programmes. Over 70 schools are members in WA.
Associated and Catholic Colleges of WA supports the City of Wanneroo to develop a 50-metre pool in what is one of the fastest growing regions in Australia, not to mention its vicinity to the coast which promotes aquatic endeavours.
In considering the Department of Education figures for all schools expected to be built in the northern corridor up to (see above) and beyond 2025 the numbers are as follows:
· Alkimos - 3 (3 x Primary School)
· Eglinton - 7 (5 x Primary School, 2 x High School)
· Two Rocks – 18 (15 x Primary School, 3 x High School)
· Yanchep – 7 (5 x Primary School, 2 x High School).
It needs to be noted that information received from the Department of Education needs to be reviewed in light of population growth and school construction.
It is expected that the needs of current and future students to access aquatic facilities for a wide range of reasons will need to be accommodated.
Learning to swim is crucial for students given the coastal position of the City as well as a need for students moving to Australia from countries where swimming skills are not taught to know how to survive in the water.
Sports such as water polo and competitive swimming are currently outside the opportunities offered to students in the northern corridor without travelling vast distances.
Event Attraction
With the completion of a regional facility such as this there is the opportunity to not only accommodate community-based aquatic and recreational activity, but also attract sporting and recreational events and training camps at a state, national and potentially international level. Given the envisaged proximity to a university, there is also the option to explore collaboration with the university and their graduates in the areas of sport science, recreation and leisure and facility management.
Other Identified Needs
Other issues that demonstrate the need for a new facility include:
· There is no swimming club north of Arena Swimming Club (Joondalup HBF Arena) and Wanneroo Aquamotion. Many swimmers are travelling from Yanchep and Two Rocks to be involved in aquatic fitness and competitive swimming clubs.
· Several swim clubs (Arena Swim Club and Breakers Swim Club) in the northern regions currently have club members from as far north as Gingin, due to lack of facilities in nearby locations.
· No school in the northern corridor has a pool that can be accessed either by students or residents.
The Benefits
Health
The City’s Public Health Plan outlines in detail the advantages of having easy access to facilities that promote healthy exercise.
Education
• Water sports for schools
• General swimming
• Water safety training
Sports Involvement
· Diving WA and Water Polo WA have expressed interest
Event Attraction
· Triathlons both State and National as well as potential international events.
Consequences of Non-Delivery
For the communities of Two Rocks, Yanchep, Eglinton and Alkimos there are some distinct characteristics that support the need for an enhanced access to recreational and health-based activities including a pool.
Most residents in all four areas are between 25 and 49 years old with 40.2% of households in Alkimos made up of couples with children. All have higher proportions of pre-schoolers than the City of Wanneroo with Yanchep also having a higher number of post retirement aged people than the City. This pre-school group as they grow are driving future services including the number of primary and secondary schools required.
The population of these communities also have a percentage of residents from non-English speaking countries now calling Australia home. For example, 9% of residents in Alkimos come from non-English speaking countries.
The Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) takes into account factors such as income, educational attainment, unemployment and jobs in unskilled occupations to determine an index with 1000 being the median. The City of Wanneroo sits at 1015, with numbers above 1000 indicate less disadvantage and numbers under 1,000 indicating more disadvantage. For the communities in question they rank as follows; Two Rocks 980, Yanchep 1001, Alkimos 1059 and Eglinton 1062.
Home ownership is high above 66% in all four communities and as high as 70% in Yanchep and Two Rocks. As the economy changes this places pressure on these households which impacts on quality of life with any future changes in employment levels and interest rates making a negative impact.
Despite this, people are still moving to the City and the northern corridor in particular. In 2017/18 1038 residential building approvals were given. This will be mostly families with young children including school age children.
More schools are planned to accommodate this growth with the following schools set to be built over the next 7 years.
Current Project Status
The Need and Feasibility Study is currently being undertaken.
Further stages and detailed project costs will be determined as part of this study.
Indicative Budget Implications
Approximately $40 million is required to develop the facility. Detailed project costs will be determined following completion of Stage 1.
What is Required
The City of Wanneroo is requesting $40 million to develop a facility within Alkimos Regional Open Space (indicative location) including a 50 metre heated outdoor swimming pool and toddler pool.
Advocacy Factsheet: Freight
The City of Wanneroo is asking for;
· $300,000 from Government to fund a preliminary freight study to inform a business case
· Dualling and upgrade of Flynn Drive (see Flynn Drive factsheet)
The City is also asking for the following projects to be prioritised by State and Federal Government;
· Muchea to Neerabup Road Freight Link - A primary freight link from Neerabup to Muchea, including the realignment of Neaves Road to Flynn Drive
· Construction of Whiteman Yanchep Highway
Background
The City of Wanneroo (the City) is asking the State and Federal Government to work together to establish the validity of, and imperative for, a far-reaching freight development plan linking the City to the wider Perth Metro, State and National Infrastructure network.
The City calls the State and Federal Governments to recognise the Perth Metro freight transport network is incomplete, and that the City and regions to the north (supported by the Wheatbelt Development Commission) can play a vital role in an enhanced freight network system for the State and the Nation.
The Need
Road Freight
Traffic congestion is associated with loss of amenity, increasing travel times and environmental damage - all of which reduce liveability of cities and economic productivity.
The North West Perth Metro Region (PMR) is lacking critical north-south and east-west freight transport routes. These routes are required to stimulate Neerabup and Wangara Industrial areas, and to provide greater access to major activity centres (Joondalup, Wanneroo and Yanchep). They also act as key freight transport routes (Great Northern Highway, Perth-Darwin Highway and Mitchell Freeway).
Rail Freight
Growth in the proportion of freight transported by rail brings many benefits to the community. Rail is also vital to industries seeking to transport significant volumes of product via sea freight. An analysis of WA’s rail freight network confirms a scarcity of lines to service non-mining related high-volume exports. There are also limitations to the existing Perth metropolitan rail freight network in terms of land use conflict and the inefficiency associated with single stacking practices. These should be considered when planning future rail freight networks.
Air Freight
Low volume high margin and perishable exports such as flowers and live fish lend themselves to air freight. As Perth’s population and freight task increases pressure will be placed on its current primary passenger airport to accommodate demand by freight providers in WA and also interstate and overseas markets who expect just in time delivery. This high degree of air traffic has many risks in a residential area and Perth will need to consider if the current site will provide enough capacity for future growth.
The City of Wanneroo and adjacent regions offer many advantages in terms of geography, links with freight corridors and land availability and should be considered when undertaking a site selection study for Perth’s second airport.
Sea Freight
Western Australia’s ports are crucial to the State’s connection to global markets. Shipping remains the most cost effective mode of international transport and is especially important if our exports are to remain internationally competitive. The City relies on Fremantle Port as WA’s largest cargo facility.
A long term dependency on a single port (Fremantle Inner & Outer Harbour/West Port) in the southern Perth Metropolitan Region (PMR) is functionally inefficient and does not take into account regional geo-political risk implications of only one urban-based port.
An additional port located in strategic proximity to the northern Perth Metro could contribute to significantly improved export competitiveness, reduced import costs and increased economic investment in the northern Perth Metro and adjacent regions of the State.
A northern port offers the potential to reduce the direct and indirect costs associated with freight destined for export which enters the PMR from the north. This freight presently travels a ‘round about’ route through the heart of the Perth metropolitan area to access ports at Fremantle and Kwinana. This is inefficient and costly.
This position is not intended to compete with the Westport project, but is seen as an important addition to that plan, and as such is considered to be in the National, State, PMR and City’s long term interests.
The Benefits
The benefits of a comprehensive freight network include;
· Linking metropolitan and regional goods with domestic and international markets.
An effective metropolitan freight network connects businesses to marketplaces across the State as well as interstate and overseas, generating wealth for Western Australia and attracting both investment and jobs.
· Reducing costs and underpins productivity.
Transport costs flow directly onto the costs of everyday goods in supermarkets and retail stores and affect the competitiveness of businesses dependent on supply chains for components. Savings translate into lower priced goods and become a major contributor to economic growth and higher standards of living.
· Supporting the efficient operation of the transport, warehousing and logistics sector.
The proposed Muchea freight link and Whiteman-Yanchep Highway will provide alternative transport routes to the congested Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive routes and more efficient linkages to the State Heavy Haulage Network.
Consequences of Non-Delivery
Failure to design and construct the most efficient freight network system will impede economic investment and productivity.
Current Project Status
The Current Freight Network
The North-West sub region’s economy is directly influenced by the efficiency of freight movements. The sub region’s freight network is currently reliant on the regional road network to connect activity and industrial areas within and outside the sub-region. These existing roads include:
· Mitchell Freeway
· Neaves Road – Flynn Drive
· Gnangara Road-Ocean Reef Road and
· A portion of Whiteman-Yanchep Highway.
Current Projects
The City of Wanneroo is currently undertaking a multi-criteria analysis of the proposal to locate a port within proximity of the northern metropolitan region.
State Government investigations are underway to explore Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV) linkages from Northam to Roe Highway, potentially providing direct eastern states links from Neerabup.
Council’s Commitment
Council endorsed position (Dec 2017) advised Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) that it supports the proposed alignment of the Whiteman-Yanchep Highway (Gnangara Road to Neaves Road) and the proposed realignment of Neaves Road to Flynn Drive.
The City supports a MRWA application to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) to amend the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) and endorse these road alignments.
Indicative Budget Implications
Project costs associated with a preliminary freight study include;
· Freight data capture - $100,000
· Cost Benefit Analysis including a multi criteria assessment $200,000 of a proposed northern port
Future projects may emerge as a result of this work and as the agenda of Infrastructure WA emerges.
What is Required
The City of Wanneroo seeks State and Federal Government commitment to work together.
The City is asking for;
· $300,000 to fund a preliminary freight study
· Dualling and upgrade of Flynn Drive (see Flynn Drive factsheet)
Prioritisation of the following:
· Muchea to Neerabup Road Freight Link - A primary freight link from Neerabup to Muchea, including the realignment of Neaves Road to Flynn Drive
· Construction of Whiteman Yanchep Highway
will complement the $1.2 billion Northlink Project by linking the NIA with the National Heavy Haulage Network.
Advocacy Factsheet: Road and Rail
The City of Wanneroo is asking for;
· Mitchell Freeway’s continued extension north to Romeo Road
· East Wanneroo Rail corridor to be located within the East Wanneroo urban area rather than aligned with the Whiteman Yanchep Highway
Road
Background
The main advocacy focus is the 5.6km Mitchell Freeway extension north to Romeo Road, Alkimos.
The Need
The Mitchell Freeway and Kwinana Freeway form the primary north-south distribution artery, supplemented by a second north-south route further inland created by the Tonkin Highway and future Whiteman-Yanchep Highway.
The recent 6.0km extension of the Mitchell Freeway to Hester Avenue has performed well with the initial traffic data suggesting higher than anticipated usage.
Main Roads Western Australia’s (MRWA) May 2016 ‘Road Network Plan – Transport @ 3.5 Million’ proposes the extension and joining of Mitchell Freeway to Indian Ocean Drive by 2050.
The Benefits
These have been identified as:
· Improved accessibility, travel times and road safety.
o Improved network connectivity, accessibility and road safety for all road users
o Reduced travel times for communities north of Burns Beach
o Provision of a more direct route to Perth’s northern suburbs to relieve traffic congestion on nearby roads
· Job creation to enable regional development
o Economic and social development to communities in Perth’s northern suburbs
o More efficient transport networks to support significant urban growth in Perth’s north-west corridor
o Investment attraction in the north-west creating jobs and economic growth
(Source: ‘Mitchell Freeway Extension-Hester Avenue to Romeo Road’ Project Outline, Infrastructure Australia May 2018)
Consequences of Non-Delivery
The Mitchell Freeway is one of Perth’s busiest routes, used by up to 140,000 vehicles a day. It is projected to become the most congested corridor by the mid 2020’s without additional capacity.
The Northern Growth Corridor is expected to grow by 85,000 residents over the next 15 years. If the extension does not proceed, the impact will limit the region’s economic and social development.
Current Project Status
The business case for the extension from Hester Ave to Romeo Road is currently being assessed by Infrastructure Australia. In April 2018, both major federal political parties pledged $107.5 million toward the total cost of $215 million. The WA Government matching commitment is yet to be announced.
Indicative Budget Implications
Provision of the Mitchell Freeway extension will be a State Government responsibility. The estimated cost is $215 million (Infrastructure Australia May 2018).
Rail
Background
Planning is now underway to complete the 13.8km rail extension from Butler to Yanchep by 2021.
The City is currently developing a Transport Strategy which will consider sustainable transportation requirements for all travel modes as the City grows its resident population to over 600,000. The draft Strategy is expected to be released for public comment in 2019.
East Wanneroo Rail Corridor
The City (Dec 2017) restated its commitment to having the future East Wanneroo rail corridor located within the East Wanneroo urban area so as to achieve better transport and land use integration. Discussion with key stakeholders and decision makers is ongoing.
The Need
The current proposed rail corridor is aligned with the planned Whiteman-Yanchep Highway road reserve. This is located approximately 2km to the east of the proposed East Wanneroo urban boundary and approximately 4km from the centre of the proposed urban area. This location is not conducive to land use and transport integration.
The Benefits
Benefits of locating the rail corridor within the East Wanneroo urban development include:
· Maximising activity centre sequencing and staging
· Maximising job creation
· Vibrant place activation
Consequences of Non-Delivery
· Poor access to rail and activity centres
o Local residents drive or catch public transport to rail stations if the future rail alignment is within the Whiteman Yanchep Highway alignment.
o Reduced ridership due to a lack of housing density and employment within close proximity to the rail stations.
Current Project Status
The issue of the future alignment of the railway line is being addressed through the current preparation of the East Wanneroo District Structure Plan by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH).
Indicative Budget Implications
Provision of the East Wanneroo Rail corridor in respect to land acquisition, design and construction will be a State Government responsibility.
What is Required
The City of Wanneroo requires a State Government commitment to;
· Mitchell Freeway’s continued extension north to Romeo Road
· East Wanneroo Rail corridor to be located within the East Wanneroo urban area rather than aligned with the Whiteman Yanchep Highway
Advocacy Factsheet: Neerabup Strategic Link – Flynn Drive
The City requires $14million for the 2.4km upgrade to dual carriageway of Flynn Drive in the Neerabup Industrial Area.
Background
The Neerabup Industrial Area (NIA) is currently served by two main access points from the east and the west. These are currently all single carriageway and not of suitable standard for the current traffic being generated. Without upgrades, the NIA will struggle to attract an appropriate level of business investment and employment. Access into and out of the NIA via Wanneroo Road is also hazardous as well as being costly to business due to significant delays at peak traffic times.
The Neerabup Industrial Area Agreed Structure Plan No.17 (NIAASP No17 - adopted, January 2005) shows the importance of Flynn Drive to the region. It laterally connects the north-south links of the Mitchell Freeway and Wanneroo Road to the NIA and to the Brand Highway and Great Northern Highway via Neaves Road. Flynn Drive is crucial to the economic development of the area.
Based on projections, the 1,000 hectare Neerabup Industrial Area (NIA) is projected to employ in excess of 20,000 people at full capacity and will contribute significantly towards achieving State targets for employment self-sufficiency in the region. The size of the NIA makes it the largest industrial complex in the Perth Northern Metropolitan Region and the second largest (to Kwinana) in the Perth Metropolitan Area.
The Need
There is an immediate need to consider the upgrade of this critical piece of road infrastructure that will catalyse early investment into the Neerabup Industrial Area (NIA).
All of the major existing business stakeholders in the NIA have been contacted for their views on the constraints put on their businesses and growth plans as a result of the poor road access. Without the road upgrade, NIA will not maximise industrial development and regional employment. As the economy improves and businesses expand NIA needs to position itself as the prime industrial location.
A sample of some of the large scale businesses currently operating in the NIA suggests that over 1000 people are currently employed and investment in land, plant and equipment is already well over $1B.
An example of this is the $115M Wesbeam has invested to date, the Newgen gas-fired power station ($436M) as well as significant footprints of entities such as Driconeq (drilling/mining services) and Klen International (manufacturing/mining services). Expressions of interest are already being received from businesses in the logistics, engineering services and renewable energy services sector to relocate to the NIA if road access, telecommunications and amenity are improved.
An impact assessment indicates that upgrading Flynn Drive to dual carriageway will have the most beneficial impact on the delivery of Strategic Community Plan (SCP) objectives. Several planning documents endorsed by the WA Planning Commission outline the importance of the NIA and the required transport links to ensure it is activated appropriately.
The Economic and Employment Lands Strategy (EELS): Non-Heavy Industrial Perth Metropolitan and Peel Regions (WA Planning Commission, April 2012) outlines the future demand for industrial land in the region and indicates there is likely to be a shortfall in industrial land supply in 2031.
A further 742 hectares of land adjacent to the NIA has been identified for further investigation as a potential NIA expansion area. This will also benefit from improved road infrastructure.
The Benefits
In terms of overall impact on the Australian economy, the project is estimated to result in an overall output of $46million and will generate $14million in wages and salaries. More importantly, the Flynn Drive dual carriageway construction will likely result in around 500 additional permanent jobs located within the NIA by 2023/24 when compared with the current single carriageway.
The 20,000 direct jobs forecast in the NIA are expected to add $7.9 billion to Gross State Product (GSP) and generate a further 24,000 jobs off-site for a total GSP impact of $13.3 billion.
When these routes are constructed or upgraded, businesses within the NIA will have the required access to operate efficiently. This will enable further investment attraction to the area and serve to activate the proposed NIA expansion areas (South Pinjar and Nowergup for example) identified in the State government’s EELS Report.
Consequences of Non-Delivery
In the absence of better road connectivity, the NIA will become a stranded asset and the City will not achieve expected jobs growth.
The vision for NIA is currently being refined but this needs to sit in a wider context of strong connectivity to domestic and global markets. The Flynn Drive upgrade is critical to ensuring job uplift in key sectors.
Business attraction in clean technology, advanced manufacturing and agribusiness will be constrained by lack of connectivity to the broader freight network (refer to Freight Factsheet).
Without the connection to Muchea and the broader freight network, the full potential of the NIA will be difficult to realise.
Current Project Status
The following planning components have been completed and the project is “shovel-ready”;
· Business Case Development
o The business case set a 3 year start to finish project timeline.
o The overall cost has been set at $14m with the City of Wanneroo open to being a co-investor.
· Preliminary Design
o All preliminary design work completed.
· Approvals
Indicative Budget Implications
The 2.4km upgrade to dual carriageway of Flynn Drive has been estimated to cost $14million.
What Is Required
The City requires $14million in funding from State and Federal Government for the 2.4km upgrade to dual carriageway of Flynn Drive in the Neerabup Industrial Area.
Refer to the Freight Fact Sheet to see the linkages between the Neerabup Strategic project and the City’s overall freight objectives.
