BRIEFING PAPERS

FOR ELECTED MEMBERS’

BRIEFING SESSION

 

Draft Only

 

 

 

 

 

to be held at

the Council Chambers, Civic Centre, Dundebar Road, Wanneroo

on 26 February, 2019 commencing at 6.00pm


PROCEDURE FOR FULL COUNCIL BRIEFING

PRINCIPLES

A Council Briefing occurs a week prior to the Ordinary Council Meeting and provides an opportunity for Elected Members to ask questions and clarify issues relevant to the specific agenda items before council.  The briefing is not a decision-making forum and the Council has no power to make decisions.  The briefing session will not be used, except in an emergency, as a venue or forum through which to invoke the requirements of the Local Government Act 1995 and call a special meeting of Council.

 

In order to ensure full transparency the meetings will be open to the public to observe the process.  Where matters are of a confidential nature, they will be deferred to the conclusion of the briefing and at that point, the briefing session closed to the public.  The reports provided are the Officers’ professional opinions.  While it is acknowledged that Elected Members may raise issues that have not been considered in the formulation of the report and recommendation, it is a basic principle that as part of the briefing sessions Elected Members cannot direct Officers to change their reports or recommendations.

 

PROCESS

The briefing session will commence at 6.00 pm and will be chaired by the Mayor or in his/her absence the Deputy Mayor.  In the absence of both, Councillors will elect a chairperson from amongst those present.  In general, Standing Orders will apply, EXCEPT THAT Elected Members may speak more than once on any item, there is no moving or seconding items, Officers will address the Elected Members and the order of business will be as follows:-

 

Members of the public present may observe the process and there is an opportunity at the conclusion of the briefing for a public question time where members of the public may ask questions (no statements) relating only to the business on the agenda.   The agenda will take the form of:

Ø  Attendance and Apologies

Ø  Declarations of Interest

Ø  Reports for discussion

Ø  Tabled Items

Ø  Public Question Time

Ø  Closure

 

Where an interest is involved in relation to an item, the same procedure which applies to Ordinary Council meetings will apply.  It is a breach of the City’s Code of Conduct for an interest to not be declared.  The briefing session will consider items on the agenda only and proceed to deal with each item as they appear.  The process will be for the Mayor to call each item number in sequence and ask for questions.  Where there are no questions regarding the item, the briefing will proceed to the next item.

 

AGENDA CONTENTS

While every endeavour is made to ensure that all items to be presented to Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting are included in the briefing papers, it should be noted that there will be occasions when, due to necessity, items will not be ready in time for the briefing session and will go straight to the Full Council agenda as a matter for decision.  Further, there will be occasions when items are TABLED at the briefing rather than the full report being provided in advance.  In these instances, staff will endeavour to include the item on the agenda as a late item, noting that a report will be tabled at the agenda briefing session.

 

AGENDA DISTRIBUTION

The Council Briefing agenda will be distributed to Elected Members on the FRIDAY prior to the Council Briefing session.  Copies will be made available to the libraries and the Internet for interested members of the public.  Spare briefing papers will be available at the briefing session for interested members of the public.

 

DEPUTATIONS

Deputations will generally not be heard prior to the Council Briefing session and are reserved for prior to the Ordinary Council meeting.

 

RECORD OF BRIEFING

The formal record of the Council Briefing session will be limited to notes regarding any agreed action to be taken by staff or Elected Members.  No recommendations will be included and the notes will be retained for reference and are not distributed to Elected Members or the public. 

 

LOCATION

The Council Briefing session will take place in the Council Chamber in the Civic Centre.

Issue

To consider a proposed amendment to the ‘convenience store’ land use definition in the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS 2).

Background

In considering a Motion on Notice report on the planning framework for development of landmark sites in the City (Council meeting of 5 February 2019, item MN01-02/19), it was resolved that Council:

 

“Requests that Administration present a report to Council by April 2019 on the merits of initiating an amendment to DPS 2 to change the DPS 2 definition of ‘convenience store’ to be as per the Model Scheme Text definition”.


 

Detail

The current definition of ‘convenience store’ under DPS 2 is:

 

convenience store : means any land and or buildings used for the retail sale of convenience goods being those goods commonly sold in supermarkets, delicatessens and newsagents but including the sale of petrol and petroleum products and motor vehicle accessories and operated during hours which include but which may extend beyond normal trading hours and providing associated parking.  The buildings associated with a convenience store shall not exceed 300m2 gross leasable area.”

 

This definition has been in DPS 2 since its gazettal on 6 July 2001, and was based on the convenience store definition included in the Model Scheme Text (MST) included in the former Town Planning Regulations 1967.

 

In 2015, the Town Planning Regulations 1967 were replaced by the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (‘the 2015 Regulations’).  The 2015 Regulations includes new Model Provisions for local planning schemes, which include the following definition for convenience store:

 

convenience store means premises –

 

(a)     used for the retail sale of convenience goods commonly sold in supermarkets, delicatessens or newsagents; and

 

(b)     operated during hours which include, but may extend beyond, normal trading hours; and

 

(c)     the floor area of which does not exceed 300m2 net lettable area.”

 

It may be noted that the new Model Provisions definition is essentially the same as the current DPS 2 definition, except that it does not include ‘sale of petrol and petroleum products and motor vehicle accessories”.  This means that proposed new developments that wish to include sale of petrol would need to be dealt with under the ‘service station’ use class.

 

The merits of initiating an amendment to DPS 2 to change the current DPS 2 definition to be as per the Model Provisions are considered to be:

 

·    It will mean that new fuel filling stations will need to be dealt with as service stations, rather than convenience stores.  Convenience store has a more flexible land use permissibility than service station under DPS 2:

 

Convenience store use is permitted in the Business and Commercial zones; discretionary in the Mixed Use, Private Clubs/Recreation, General Industrial and Service Industrial zones; and not permitted in all other zones.

Service station use is discretionary in Business, Commercial, General Industrial and Service Industrial zones, and not permitted in all other zones.

 

          Being able to be dealt with as a convenience store has meant that fuel filling stations have been able to be applied for in locations which are not necessarily the most appropriate locations for that type of development, particularly ‘landmark’ sites.  Requiring them to be dealt with as service stations should mean that the sites they will be able to be applied for will be better suited for that type of development as the appropriateness of the sale of petrol on these sites will be considered.

 

·    It will mean that this land use definition will be consistent with the Model Provisions, which should mean that it is more readily understood by the community and industry, and has a more firm standing when subject to deliberations by planning agencies, including the City, the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, Minister for Planning, and the State Administrative Tribunal (in the event of appeals).

 

·    A separate amendment will enable this change to be made quicker, as compared to making it as part of a broader amendment to align DPS 2 with the Model Provisions, or a review of DPS 2 to prepare a new Scheme.  It is anticipated that this process will take 6 – 12 months.

Consultation

An amendment to DPS 2 to make it consistent with the Model Provisions is considered a ‘basic’ amendment under the Regulations.  Administration is not required to advertise a basic amendment to DPS 2 for public comment, unless the Minister for Planning or an authorised person directs the City to advertise the basic amendment.  Alternatively, should the WAPC not consider the amendment to be a basic amendment, the City may be directed to advertise the amendment as a ‘standard amendment’ or ‘complex amendment’ as the case may require.  Given that Administration is proposing to amend the definition to align with the MST, it is considered that the WAPC is likely to support this change as a ‘basic’ amendment.

Comment

Given the merits outlined above, of amending DPS 2 to make the DPS 2 convenience store definition consistent with that of the Model Provisions, it is recommended that Council initiate a DPS 2 amendment to do this.

Statutory Compliance

Pursuant to Regulation 34 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Scheme) Regulations 2015, Administration considers this proposed amendment as a basic amendment, as it is an amendment to the scheme so that it is consistent with the Model Scheme Text.

 

Should Council resolve to initiate this scheme amendment, Administration will have 21 days to refer the proposal to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for comment, prepare all necessary documentation and forward the proposed scheme amendment to the WAPC.

 

Once the amendment documentation is provided to the WAPC for assessment, the WAPC has 42 days to present a report, including a recommended decision, to the Minister for Planning for determination with or without modification.  Under the Regulations, the 42 day time period could be longer should the Minister or the WAPC allow it.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the WAPC may determine the amendment to be a ‘standard’ or ‘complex’ amendment, in which case the proposal would require additional steps including advertising for public comment.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027:

 “1     Society

1.3    Distinctive Places

1.3.1Create distinctive places based on identity of areas

Risk Management Considerations

There are no existing Strategic or Corporate risks within the City's existing risk registers which relate to the issues contained in this report.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The costs in preparing this amendment to DPS 2 can be met from the current Planning and Sustainability operational budget.

Issue

To consider final adoption of the City’s draft Local Environmental Strategy (LES) included as Attachment 1.

Background

The draft LES aims to address community expectations identified in both the ‘Natural’ and ‘Built’ Environment sub-pillars of the Strategic Community Plan (SCP) and provides clear direction for how the City will respond to the range of built and natural environmental issues and opportunities affecting the City.

 

The Strategy will inform the Local Planning Strategy (LPS - currently being prepared) and sit under the SCP. The LES provides the framework for further, more detailed environmental plans, strategies, policies and projects and ensure their consistency with State planning and environmental frameworks. It will set out the strategic intent and direction for these plans to be developed.

 

The draft LES was presented to Council at its meeting on 18 September 2018, where it was adopted for the purpose of advertising. The advertising period has since closed and Administration prepared an updated version of the Strategy which reflected changes in response to the submissions received.  The amended LES was presented to the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) on 4 February 2019 where additional minor amendments were proposed. Subject to those amendments being made to the Strategy, the EAC has recommended that the draft Strategy be considered by Council for final adoption.

Detail

In accordance with Council’s resolution, the draft LES was advertised for public comment for a period of 42 days between 24 September 2018 and 6 November 2018.

 

Seven submissions were received, which generally expressed overall support for the approach to strategic environmental planning provided by the LES.

 

A number of comments proposed minor changes to the draft Strategy, with Administration taking these into consideration and proposing modifications as a result. A table detailing all of the submissions along with Administration’s responses and recommended modifications is included in Attachment 2, with a summary of some of the key items raised in the submissions being outlined below.

 

Vegetation removal, land clearing and tree canopy loss

 

Unlawful vegetation removal and land clearing as a result of approved development are key issues that have been identified in the LES. A number of resident and community member submissions reiterated the importance of identifying this issue and preparing relevant responses. In particular, land clearing for urban development is noted as a major issue, and the Strategy acknowledges opportunities for vegetation retention through the planning and development process provided that the right strategies, plans and policies are in place.

The LES provides the overarching framework for current and future projects that aim to reduce the impact of native vegetation removal as a result of unauthorised clearing and approved development. Such projects include the City’s Tree Preservation policy, the Street Tree Policy, and the recently adopted Local Biodiversity Plan. Through these, opportunities for the protection of native vegetation can be identified through the planning and development process which can be informed by the objectives for environmental protection outlined in the City’s Local Biodiversity Strategy and the Local Planning Strategy which is currently being prepared.

 

It was also noted in a number of submissions that the City lacks sufficient tree canopy which can result in increased heat island effects and contributes to loss of biodiversity in the City’s built environment. The LES acknowledges that the City currently lacks a comprehensive strategy that aims to address tree canopy issues, and as such proposes that investigations be undertaken to determine the need for more detailed work which will be identified through the action plan to be prepared once the Strategy has been finalised.

 

Built form and liveability

 

The LES identifies liveability and the overall improvement of the built environment as a key issue to be addressed through the high level responses it proposes under the ‘Community’ theme. Some of the submissions received note the recent urban development within the City as not being of particularly high quality in terms of liveability and built form. They note that higher densities, smaller lot sizes and general lack of green space as key factors that contribute to this.

 

It is the intention of the LES to set the strategic direction for how these issues may be dealt with, and by doing so, a coordinated approach can be achieved that effectively addresses issues associated with built form and liveability. Through the ‘Community’ theme of the Strategy, current responses to these issues are identified and include the City’s Public Open Space Policy, draft Local Planning Policy 4.10: Streetscapes, as well as future responses that include activation and improved functionality of public open space and urban streets that will be further mapped out and implemented through the LES Action Plan.

 

The Local Planning Strategy will aim to ensure that higher density residential areas are proposed in appropriate locations. Higher density areas should provide a smaller urban footprint and will allow more residents to have direct access to amenities including public open space. A smaller urban footprint provides opportunities for more sustainable urban development and should allow greater protection of the natural environment.

 

Planning for East Wanneroo

 

The LES acknowledges the current and future planning for the East Wanneroo area and the opportunities it presents in terms of providing urban zoned land while achieving good environmental outcomes such as reservation of new conservation areas (including wetlands), and integration of the natural environment with the built environment to create streetscapes that serve as green links.

 

Some concerns were raised through the submissions received regarding the future development of this area. In particular, a comment from a resident of the area expresses concerns with some of the language used in the LES that refers to urban development being ‘inevitable’ and infers that the land clearing associated with development is therefore unavoidable.

 

Administration agrees that the wording here could be misleading and does not reflect the nature of the Strategy and its aims to reduce the environmental impacts associated with development. As such, it is proposed that the wording be amended to more accurately align with the rest of the LES and to be consistent with the responses to the issues and opportunities it has identified.

 

Other submissions highlighted the planning for the East Wanneroo area as an area for concern in regards to adverse environmental impacts including vegetation removal, acid sulphate soil disturbance, and wetland degradation. Although it is acknowledged that the majority of this area will be urbanised, the City remains in close communication with the Department of Planning Lands and Heritage in preparing the District Structure Plans for the area to ensure that the planning for East Wanneroo is undertaken in such a way as to be consistent with the City’s environmental objectives and priorities captured in the LES and other documents such as the Local Biodiversity Strategy, as well as community expectations.

 

Water availability and water quality protection

 

The LES notes that water availability and water quality are among the key issues affecting the City now and into the future. One submission notes that water is a high priority and also suggests that public education should be a priority. Leading by example in water use efficiency and water quality protection is an opportunity within the ‘Water’ theme. Future initiatives and responses under this theme will include ongoing implementation of existing City projects such as the Water Conservation Plan and the Yellagonga Integrated Catchment Management Plan.

 

City responses and Actions

 

Submissions received by the City included a number of suggestions that relate to specific actions that the City may carry out in response to some of the key issues. One such suggestion was for the City to promote alternative energy sources for private households. Administration agrees that the City may play a role in promoting sustainable energy, and it is actions such as this that will be investigated through the action plan that will be prepared once the LES has been finalised. Currently, the Strategy identifies a number of future energy efficiency and sustainable energy initiatives to be investigated by the City including identification of energy use in community facilities, investigating renewable energy options, and the promotion of innovative technologies through leading by example which can all be investigated through the City’s Energy Reduction Plan.

 

The Quinns Rocks Environmental Group (QREG) provided a number of suggestions on specific actions to be undertaken by the City in the realms of waste management, liveability, climate change and energy, and water. More specifically, the QREG suggested that the LES should be more focused on providing clear direction for effective action to address the key issues and opportunities identified in the Strategy.

 

While Administration agrees that the specific actions and initiatives suggested by the QREG are valid and would effectively address many of the key issues and opportunities identified throughout the Strategy, providing specific, detailed actions is outside of the scope of the Strategy. The LES is a deliberately high level document that provides a clear strategic direction for the City in regards to environmental planning and sustainability and as such does not itself contain detailed actions for implementation.

 

However, once the LES has been endorsed by Council, a detailed action plan will be prepared by Administration and presented to Council for endorsement which will be used to identify and implement key specific actions to implement the Strategy, with actions being linked with specific timeframes and responsibilities for investigation and implementation. Actions will be determined by and will relate directly to the strategic responses set out in Tables 4 to 9 of the LES.

 

In undertaking these specific actions, the City will work towards addressing the key issues related to urban development and poor functionality in streetscapes, as well as providing public open space access throughout the urban environment.

 

Consideration by Environmental Advisory Committee

 

At its meeting on 4 February 2019, the EAC provided further input into the draft LES and suggested some additional amendments to the Strategy prior to it being presented to Council. These suggested amendments have been incorporated into Attachment 1 and are summarised below. A tracked changes version of the LES has been provided in the Council reading room.

 

The amendments proposed by the EAC and supported by Administration are considered to be minor in nature, but add value by making the LES clearer in its purpose, scope and overall functionality.

 

Additions to Responses (Tables 4 to 9)

 

It is proposed that Tables 4 to 9 of Part B of the Strategy be updated to include the investigation of planning mechanisms (such as local planning policies) to address the need for an increased tree canopy, as well as improving water and energy use efficiency in new developments. While the investigation into planning mechanisms for this purpose were considered, this was not explicitly stated in the LES and as such Administration supports this inclusion into the high level responses contained within Tables 4 to 9.

 

Additional wording is proposed to be added to the issues listed in Table 5 under ‘Land Contamination’ which addresses land contamination and its effects to include reference to acid sulphate soils as a specific example of contaminated sites found in the City. The proposed amendment also mentions the potential impacts of acid sulphate soils on human health via airborne particulates as a result of the disturbance of these soils.

 

Due to extensive land development across the City, disturbance of acid sulphate soils is an ongoing issue that is related to land contamination and water quality, which has been addressed by the LES. However, it is proposed that Table 9 and page 44 under the ‘Water Quality’ topic is updated to include reference to acid sulphate soils as an example of an issue relating to surface and groundwater quality.

 

Mapping Changes

 

A number of minor changes to the maps contained in the LES are proposed in response to comments made by the EAC:

 

·     Figure 1, which removes the boundary to City of Joondalup, making it clearer that the LES applies to the City of Wanneroo only;

·     Figure 5, which proposes an addition to the legend, indicating that the ‘white’ areas on  the map are ‘low to no’ risk acid sulphate soils areas; and

·     Proposed addition to Figure 9 to show the relevant year for the remaining extent of the vegetation complexes.

 

Environmental Planning Framework

 

Figure 23 shows the overall framework of the LES and its relationship to the Strategic Community Plan, Local Planning Strategy and key LES responses. It was suggested by the EAC that the Local Planning Strategy should not be shown as ‘sitting above’ the LES but rather alongside it, to demonstrate that they operate at an equivalent level. Administration concurs that Figure 23 inaccurately reflects the hierarchy of these documents, and as such it is proposed that Figure 23 be amended to more clearly demonstrate the relationships between these documents. Figure 23 now shows the two strategic documents alongside each other (and therefore informing each other), with the inclusion of the action plan as the implementation mechanism of the LES.

Consultation

The draft LES was advertised for public comment for a period of 42 days from 25 September 2018 to 6 November 2018 by way of:

 

·        An advertisement in a local newspaper;

·        Display notice of the proposal in Council offices and on the City’s website; and

·        Letters to relevant stakeholders as determined by the Director, Planning and Sustainability. 

 

As outlined above, following public advertising, the draft revised LES was presented to the EAC on 4 February 2019 to seek final comments and to recommend the LES to Council for final adoption.

Comment

The LES presents an integrated and strategic approach to addressing a range of environmental issues in the face of expanding urbanisation and an ongoing loss of environmental values. It promotes a balance between growth and the protection and enhancement of the natural and built environments.

 

Overall the submissions have indicated that the Strategy has been well received, and that the issues, opportunities, and responses identified in the Strategy accurately reflect community expectations.

 

Submissions provided overall support for the direction and content of the LES, in particular the issues and opportunities it identifies in relation to the natural and built environments. Proposed changes respond to submissions received and provide further consistency in regards to the overall intent of the Strategy which is to promote improvement of the natural and built environments. All of the changes made to the Strategy following public advertising are detailed in the tracked changes version which has been made available in the Council reading room.

 

Once adopted by Council, the LES will provide the overarching framework for existing and new environmental projects under the Natural and Built Environmental pillars of the Strategic Community Plan. Having an up-to-date overarching environmental strategy will ensure a comprehensive and integrated approach to environmental management in the City that aligns with the expectations of the community as reflected in the SCP.

 

Responses to the issues and opportunities identified in the LES will be implemented through a detailed action plan that will be drafted by Administration prior to being presented to Council for endorsement. This will deliver a measurable and achievable approach to strategic environmental management across the City embedded into the daily activities of the City. In order to be flexible and effectively respond to changing circumstances, the action plan needs to be separate from the Strategy.

 

The Strategy will work alongside an Environmental Management System (EMS) currently being established which will ensure that the action plan contains relevant and achievable actions that are implemented effectively.

The City lacks an up to date, over-arching environmental strategy that links the City’s environmental projects to the community’s expectations as outlined in the SCP. The LES will address contemporary environmental issues in the City and will more closely align with the environmental pillar of the SCP, thereby minimising reputational risk to the City.

The LES will also provide high level guidance to address tangible risks to the environment by providing a strategic approach to environmental management in the City. The issues and opportunities identified through the preparation process for the Strategy will be included within an action plan, with its implementation being managed and monitored through the EMS currently in development.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Once the LES has been finalised it will be implemented through a comprehensive and detailed action plan, with individual actions being resourced and planned individually. It is anticipated that the majority of actions will be operational work that can be delivered utilising existing staff resources, such as the preparation of policies, strategies, plans, procedures and guidelines.

 

The individual responses or actions in the Strategy will not raise any immediate financial implications for individual service units. The detailed action plan will include specific actions that can be resourced. Detailed funding for specific actions that come out of the action plan will need to be considered as part of the annual budgeting process.

Issue

To consider a request to amend District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS 2) to allow the land use Restricted Premises an additional use on Strata Lot 7 at 20 Prindiville Drive, Wangara (the site).

 

Applicant

Rowe Group

Owners

Mr Kristopher Bond and Miss Hayley Saunders

Location

Strata Lot 7 (20) Prindiville Drive, Wangara

Site Area

310m2

Background

On 4 September 2018, Rowe Group requested the City to consider an amendment to DPS 2 to allow the use class ‘Restricted Premises’ as an additional use on the site to facilitate the continued operation of the business ‘Absolutely Adult’, which has been trading at this location since December 2011. This business is operating between 10 am and 5 pm Monday to Saturday and 12 noon to 5 pm on Sundays.

 

The amendment resulted from a compliance investigation which identified the business was operating without approval.

Detail

Site

The subject premises addresses Mackie Street and is located within a building which accommodates a number of businesses.  ELV & Electronics Specialists and Eagle Blinds Pty Ltd immediately adjoin the site, with Vibe Events & Entertainment and Theatrix Performing Arts Studio located towards Prindiville Drive.

 

Attachment 1 is the location plan of the site including photographs of the building in which several other businesses operate.

Proposal

The proposal seeks to amend DPS 2 to allow the use class Restricted Premises as an additional use on the site to enable the continued operation of ‘Absolutely Adult’ and to modify Schedule 2 of DPS 2 as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

NO

STREET/LOCALITY

1-41

Prindiville Drive, Wangara

Lot 7 on Strata Plan 18103 Certificate of Title Volume 2132 Folio 388 (No.20)

Restricted Premises – ‘D’ use

Condition:

Operating hours between 10am and 5pm Monday to Saturday and 12 noon to 5pm on Sundays.

 

·  Amend the scheme map accordingly.

 

The applicant has justified the proposal as follows:

 

1.   The proposed use satisfies the objective of the zone, which is to accommodate a range of showrooms and warehouses, entertainment and recreational activities;

 

2.   The operation of the Restricted Premises would not detrimentally affect the amenity of the area through aspects such as traffic, car parking and noise;

 

3.   The warehouse component of the operation would ordinarily fit within the Warehouse use class which is a permissible (P) use in the Service Industrial zone;

 

4.   The majority of the floor space is a Warehouse where products are stored for distribution; and

 

5.   The shop front is considered to be incidental to the predominant use.

 

Attachment 2 is a copy of the amendment document.

Consultation

Under the provisions of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (the Regulations) all scheme amendments must be subject to public consultation.  However, before doing so the amendment will need to be referred to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) to assess the environmental impacts of the proposal and to determine whether any formal environmental assessment is necessary.

 

Subject to no objections being received from the EPA, the amendment (being a standard amendment) must be advertised for public comment for a period of 42 days.  Advertising is to occur in the following manner, consistent with Regulation 47:

 

·        Advertisement in a local newspaper for one week;

·        Placement of a sign on affected site(s), giving notice of the proposal;

·        Display notice of the proposal in Council offices;

·        Display on the City’s website; and

·        Referral in writing to affected persons/agencies.

Comment

The proposed amendment will enable the continued operation of ‘Absolutely Adult’ on the site. The front portion of the tenancy is occupied by the shop floor where products are displayed and can be purchased by retail. The rear of the tenancy is used for warehousing of products which are stored for distribution for online sales. The applicant has advised the warehousing and online sales component of the business generates approximately 80 per cent of the business, with the retail portion generating the remaining 20 per cent of the business with approximately five customers visiting the store each day.

 

The site is located within the Service Industrial zone. The objectives of the Service Industrial zone are to accommodate a range of light industries, showrooms and warehouses, entertainment and recreational activities, and complementary business services which by nature would not detrimentally affect the amenity of surrounding areas.

 

Restricted Premises: means any premises used or designed to be used primarily for the sale by retail or wholesale, or the offer for hire, loan or exchange, or the exhibition, display or delivery of:

(a)   publications that are classified as restricted publications pursuant to the Indecent Publications and Articles Act 1902 (as amended); or

(b)   materials, compounds, preparations or articles which are used or intended to be used primarily on or in connection with any form of sexual behaviour or activities.”

 

The proposed Restricted Premises as an additional use is considered to satisfy the objective of Service Industrial zone as its predominant function is to warehouse and distribute the products. The retail component in principle is not dissimilar to many other businesses within the Service Industrial zone which allow customers to purchase warehoused goods via a retail counter. It is recognised the nature of products being sold is different, however, the retail environment is strictly controlled to ensure minors do not enter, with external signage and displays being of a conservative nature. The windows are covered with security shutters when the premises are closed.

 

It should be noted that under the provisions of DPS 2, the use class Restricted Premises can only be considered in the Commercial Zone, where it is a Discretionary (D) use.  Council will recall that at its meeting of 26 April 2015 it considered a proposed change of use from Hairdresser to Restricted Premises in Clarkson Activity Centre at Unit 3 – Lot 782 (1868) Marmion Avenue, Clarkson (DA2015/2175) and resolved to refuse the proposal as it would affect the amenity of and character of the locality (Refer Item PS13-04/16).  The applicant requested the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) to review Council’s decision. Following SAT mediation, Council reconsidered the application at its meeting on 16 August 2016 and resolved to approve it as Council considered that the Restricted Premises may be compatible with some of the adjoining land uses within the shopping centre (Refer Item CR03-08/16). The approved operating hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Sunday.

 

Although Restricted Premises is a Not Permitted Use in Service Industrial zone, allowing it as an Additional use is considered appropriate for the following reasons:

 

·    It satisfies the objective of Service Industrial zone to accommodate warehouses, entertainment and recreational activities, which by nature would not detrimentally affect the amenity of surrounding areas;

 

·    Being located in Service Industrial area it is unlikely to impact on the surrounding industrial land uses and would not detrimentally affect the amenity of the surrounding areas;

 

·    The use has been operating in this location since 2011 with no complaints from surrounding businesses or owners; and

 

·    The predominant warehousing aspect is consistent with surrounding uses, many of which also offer a retailing component.

 

Traffic & Parking

 

One of the justifications provided by the applicant was that the Restricted Premises will not detrimentally affect the amenity of the area through aspects such as traffic and car parking. In this regard the following matters are noted.

 

Traffic

 

The Western Australian Planning Commission’s Transport Impact Assessment Guidelines state that if the number of vehicle trips of a development during peak hour is less than 10, then no traffic information is required. The applicant has advised that there is generally a maximum of five clients visiting the premises each day, with customers more likely to buy on-line. This business has been in operation since 2011 and to date the City has not received any complaints regarding the traffic generated by this business.  Administration is of the view that the proposed land use would not generate more than 10 vehicle trips during the peak hours and that further supporting traffic information is not required.

 

Parking

 

Under the provisions of DPS 2, the car parking standard for the use class Restricted Premises is 7 bays per 100m2, which is same as that for a Shopping Centre.  For a floor area of 310m2, the Restricted Premises would require 21 car parking bays.  However, there are only seven car bays allocated for this premises – two for the staff at the rear of the premises and five for the customers. The applicant has advised that the parking standard for Restricted Premises is considered to be excessive for the following reasons:

 

a.   The land use definition for ‘Restricted Premises’ allows for the sale of material by retail or wholesale.  The prescribed parking provision for a ‘Shopping Centre’ is purely for retail operation. The substantial proportion of the tenancy is used for warehouse purposes.

 

b.   The retail component of the Restricted Premises does not generate the extent of patronage as a typical retail outlet.  Shopping Centres generally offer goods which are sought by customers on a weekly/fortnightly basis, whilst for the Restricted Premises use, the frequency of visits would be significantly less.

 

c.   Owing to the nature of the goods sold and to seek a more discreet/private shopping experience, the majority of retail activity associated with Restricted Premises is through online sales and/or mail order.

 

In addition, the applicant advises that only approximately 20 per cent of the business involves customers attending the premises, with only approximately five customers attending the premises per day.  Consequently the current provision of seven bays to service the development is more than sufficient to cater for the expected demand.

 

Discussion

 

The subject business has been operating from the site since 2011. To date, the City has not received any complaints from the adjoining businesses on the operation of this business. The premises are predominantly used to service the storage and online sales part of the business, which are considered to fall within the land use of Warehouse.  Under the provisions of DPS 2, the car parking standard for Warehouse is 1 car bay per 50m2 gross floor area. At this rate, the required number of bays is six (6). The site has seven (7) car bays.

Considering the nature of the land use Restricted Premises and the objective of Service Industrial zone, Administration supports the amendment proposal.

Statutory Compliance

The scheme amendment will follow the statutory process outlined in the Planning and Development Act 2005 and Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.

 

The amendment is considered to be a Standard Amendment as it would not result in any significant environmental, social, economic or governance impacts on land in the scheme area.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027:

 “2     Economy

2.1    Local Jobs

2.1.2  Build capacity for businesses to grow

Background

On 20 December 2019, Burgess Design Group, on behalf of Emmanuel Christian Community School (ECCS) lodged Amendment No. 174 to DPS 2 for the City’s consideration. The purpose of the Amendment is to allow for the expansion of the ECCS as an ‘Education Establishment’ on the above-mentioned lots. Under DPS 2, ‘Education Establishment’ is not permitted (X) in the ‘Residential’ zone and permitted (P) in the ‘Private Clubs and Recreation’ Zone. A location plan of the subject site is contained within Attachment 1.

 

Lot 9 (4) Salcott Road, Girrawheen, was granted development approval for a ‘Kindergarten’ on 20 September 2000 and for a ‘Child Care Centre’ (Pre-Primary Facility) on 15 August 2003. Both the ‘Kindergarten’ and ‘Child Care Centre’ land uses are discretionary ‘D’ land uses within the ‘Residential’ zone of DPS 2. Lot 9 (4) Salcott Road currently accommodates a kindergarten and pre-primary classrooms.

 

On 21 January 2019, the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) conditionally approved a subdivision application (WAPC 157499) to amalgamate Lot 9 (4) and Lot 1057 (6) Salcott Road, Girrawheen. The subdivision plan is contained within Attachment 2.

Detail

Site

The area subject of this amendment is 3,037m² in area and is bound by Pelham Way to the west, Salcott Road to the north, Hainsworth Avenue to the east and neighbouring residential development to the south.

 

The ECCS and Girrawheen Baptist Church are located directly north of the subject site on Lot 50 (3) Salcott Road, Girrawheen.

 

The amendment area encompasses three lots. Lot 9 currently accommodates a kindergarten and pre-primary school classrooms and both Lots 1057 and 1060 each accommodate a Single House.

Proposal

The proposal seeks to amend DPS 2 by rezoning Lots 9 & 1057 Salcott Road, and Lot 1060 Hainsworth Avenue, Girrawheen, from ‘Residential’ to ‘Private Clubs & Recreation’.

 

The applicant’s justification for the proposal can be summarised as follows:

 

·    The amendment seeks to relocate the primary school students at the Salcott Road ECCS campus to the Casserley Avenue ECCS campus to use the Salcott Road campus and above-mentioned lots solely for high school classrooms. Additionally, the impacts arising from the proposal will be minimal, and are unlikely to be any greater than those that already exist;

 

·    The operation of the ‘Education Establishment’ premises would not detrimentally affect the amenity of the residential area as sufficient car parking exists on the main campus and the amendment area;

 

·    The ECCS Salcott Road campus currently accommodates for 264 students ranging from kindergarten up to year 10. The ECCS intends to expand their services and accommodate for year 11 and year 12 groups and anticipates the number of high school students is estimated to reach up to 338, which is 74 more students than the current ECCS Salcott Road campus accommodates for; and

 

·    The Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) provided demonstrates the proposal to accommodate for 338 high school students will only result in an increase of 36 additional vehicle movements in the peak AM and PM periods. The TIS acknowledges that the older high school students can drive to school, however the TIS states that the increase in vehicular trips is expected to be less than anticipated given that high school students can use alternative modes of transport such as cycling or walking in comparison to primary school students.

 

In addition, the applicant has advised that the lots included within the amendment area may be demolished to make way for new classrooms in the future however, the ECCS has no immediate plans to redevelop the existing school facilities as a result of this amendment;

 

Attachment 3 contains the amendment plan showing the existing zoning and proposed scheme amendment zoning.

Consultation

In accordance with Section 81 of the Planning and Development Act 2005, Amendment No. 174 will need to be referred to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), to assess the environmental impacts of the proposal and to determine whether any formal environmental assessment is necessary.

 

Subject to no objection being received from the EPA, Amendment No. 174 will be advertised for public comment in accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (the Regulations).

 

Prior to advertising of Amendment No. 174, notification must be provided to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) of Council’s intention to advertise the amendment as a ‘standard’ amendment in accordance with Regulation 47 (1) of the Regulations. On completion of that notification, advertising is proposed to occur in the following manner for a period of no less than 42 days, consistent with the requirements of 47 (2) to (4) of the Regulations:

 

·     Advertisement in a local newspaper;

·     Display notice of the proposal in Council offices and on the City’s website; and

·     Referral in writing to affected persons/agencies.

 

Land Use

 

Lot 9 (4) Salcott Road has existing land use approvals for ‘Kindergarten’ and ‘Child Care Centre’ and currently operates a kindergarten and pre-primary classrooms. The historic use of the land for the primary activities is more akin with the ‘Education Establishment’ land use despite it being approved as a ‘Child Care Centre’ in 2003. As such, the amendment will enable an ‘Education Establishment’ to be considered on the land, consistent with its historic use.

 

Redevelopment of ECCS Campus

 

Administration acknowledges that the applicants do not have any development or concept plans for the future development outcome of the existing classrooms or single houses of the Salcott Road campus. Notwithstanding, any future development of the lots will need to comply with the provisions of DPS 2, pertaining to facade treatments, building setbacks, landscaping, vehicular access points and on-site car parking. Additionally, any development of the campus or on these lots will need to be compatible with the existing residential development in the locality.

 

Parking

 

The car parking standards for the ‘Education Establishment’ use class under DPS 2 differ between primary school and secondary school classrooms. The amendment seeks to relocate the primary school students to the Casserley Avenue ECCS campus and as such, the secondary school car parking standards apply to the Salcott Road campus and existing classrooms situated  on Lot 9 (4) Salcott Road, Girrawheen.

 

Secondary schools require a minimum 60 car parking bays for staff and visitors for the first 600 students, plus seven pick up/set down bays. The TIS provided identifies the amendment anticipates a total of 338 high school students would be accommodated for at the Salcott Road ECCS campus and at Lot 9 (4) Salcott Road, thus requiring a total of 67 on-site car parking bays. A total of 69 car parking bays have been provided for on the main campus at Lot 50 (3) Salcott Road and Lot 9 (4) Salcott Road, Girrawheen, resulting in a two bay surplus.  Administration notes that this Amendment does not propose any development and seeks to utilise the existing car parking facilities on Lot 50 (3) Salcott Road and Lot 9 (4) Salcott Road, Girrawheen.

 

The City has previously received complaints regarding verge parking adjacent to the Salcott Road school campus, however upon investigation by Administration, it was determined the parking was not unlawful. It is noted that a development application will be required to facilitate use of the amendment and as an ‘Education Establishment’ which would be subject to the car parking standards under DPS 2.

 

Traffic

 

The applicant has advised that the proposal to facilitate high school students at the Salcott Road campus and existing classrooms on Lot 9 Salcott Road will only result in an increase of 36 additional vehicle movements in the peak AM and PM periods. Administration is of the view that based on the proposed numbers, any future development proposal would not substantially increase traffic in the locality.

 

The City’s Traffic and Transport Service Unit have reviewed the submitted TIS and have no concerns to the increase in vehicle movements, however they have noted that a pedestrian crossing for students should be provided for between or adjacent to Lot 50 and Lot 9 Salcott Road, Girrawheen. Traffic and Transport have stated that a pedestrian crossing can be provided once the school classrooms are redeveloped through the development application process.

 

Modification to Amendment No. 174

 

The applicant has proposed to include Lot 1060 (15) Hainsworth Avenue, Girrawheen within the amendment area however, this site currently accommodates a Single House which is not used association with the ECCS main campus. Administration considers the rezoning of Lot 1060 to ‘Private Clubs and Recreation’ should not be supported given that any development of an ‘Education Establishment’ on this lot could potentially compromise the single residential character and amenity of the area.

 

It should be noted that Lot 1057 contains a Single House which has not been developed for educational purposes, however this site fronts onto the main ECCS campus and Salcott Road and has been conditionally approved for amalgamation with Lot 9 by the WAPC. In this regard, Administration considers the rezoning of Lot 1057 can be supported.

 

Administration has been advised by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) that modifications can be made through the Council resolution Amendment No. 174. In light of this, Administration recommends that Lot 1060 (15) Hainsworth Avenue, Girrawheen be removed from the amendment area and only Lot 9 (4) and Lot 1057 (6) Salcott Road, Girrawheen be rezoned from ‘Residential’ to ‘Private Clubs and Recreation’.

Statutory Compliance

The scheme amendment and local planning policy will follow the statutory process outlined in the Planning and Development (Local Planning Scheme) Regulations 2015.

 

Regulation 35 (2) of the Regulations require a scheme amendment to be classed as basic, standard or complex by a local government to determine the advertising requirements. Amendment No. 174 is deemed by Administration to be a standard amendment, for the reasons as set out below:

 

a)    The amendment is consistent with a region planning scheme that applies to the scheme area (Metropolitan Region Scheme);

 

b)    The amendment would have a minimal impact on land in the scheme area that is not the subject of the amendment;

 

c)    The amendment is not considered to align with the criteria applicable for ‘basic’ and ‘complex’ amendments, prescribed in the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015;

 

d)    The proposed amendment does not result in any significant environmental, social, economic or governance impacts on land in the scheme area; and

 

e)    The proposed amendment is not a complex or basic amendment.

 

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027:

 “3     Environment (Built)

3.4    Activated Places

3.4.3  Enhance distinctive built form and spaces based on identity of areas

Risk Management Considerations

There are no existing Strategic or Corporate risks within the City's existing risk registers which relate to the issues contained in this report.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The costs in undertaking further actions in respect to Amendment No. 174 to DPS 2 can be met from the existing Planning and Sustainability operational budget.

Background

On 30 April 2018 the City received a development application for Industry - Extractive (Extractive Industry) at Lot 503 (398) Wattle Avenue, Neerabup (subject site). The application has been under assessment for an extended period of time due to the response timeframes by the applicant to numerous requests for additional information from Administration.

 

Subject site

 

The majority of the subject site is zoned Industrial under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) and Industrial Development under the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS 2). Under Agreed Structure Plan No. 17 – Neerabup Industrial Area (ASP 17), the Industrial Development portion of the subject site is zoned General Industrial and Service Industrial.

 

A portion of the subject site near the southern boundary is outside of the ASP 17 area. This portion of the site is reserved as Parks and Recreation, with a designation of Bush Forever. There is also a portion of Bush Forever in the north-west of the subject site, which lies within the ASP 17 area. Attachment 1 includes a zoning plan of the subject site.

 

Site context

 

A location plan of the subject site, and surrounding area, is provided in Attachment 2. Of note are the following properties:

 

Property

Detail

Lot 9005 (370K) Flynn Drive, Neerabup (east of subject site)

·    Industry – Extractive with a relevant development approval until 30 June 2030.

·    Uses haul road access which runs through the subject site and provides access/egress to Flynn Drive.

Lot 9000 (569) Flynn Drive and Lot 2 (1650) Wanneroo Road, Carramar (located on the southern side of Flynn Drive)

·    Subject to Agreed Structure Plan 61 – Lots 1 & 2 Flynn Drive (ASP 61).

·    Subject to a subdivision approval for the creation of 209 Residential-zoned lots and 204 Special Residential-zoned lots.  

Lot 502 (450) Flynn Drive, Neerabup (west of subject site)

·    Bush Forever Site 293.

·    Reserved Parks and Recreation under the MRS.

 

The subject site is also in the proximity of:

 

·    Special Rural-zoned lots in Carramar, on the south-eastern side of Flynn Drive; and

·    Service Industrial and General Industrial-zoned lots in the ASP 17 area, to the south-east.

 

Existing Vehicle Access

An existing vehicle access runs through the subject site, which was constructed for the purpose of providing access to Flynn Drive for the quarry located on the adjoining Lot 9005 (370K) Flynn Drive, Neerabup. As part of this development approval for the quarry, a condition was imposed which required that the first 30 metres of the access road from the crossover be sealed in bitumen to prevent debris collected by vehicle wheels from being deposited on the road. Aerial imagery of the subject site illustrates that the crossover to Flynn Drive has been constructed and the access road has been sealed for approximately 300 metres back from the crossover.

Proposal

The application as originally submitted proposed to extract within the portion of the subject site reserved as Parks and Recreation under the MRS, with a designation of Bush Forever. The determining body for any development on this portion of the subject site is the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC).

It is noted that Landcorp has lodged an application with the WAPC for this portion to be transferred from the Parks and Recreation reservation to the Industrial zone under the MRS, and for the Bush Forever designation to be removed.  The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) has indicated that there is currently no timeframe for this amendment to be considered, and advised that any extraction in this area could not be supported under the current Parks and Recreation reservation. This advice was subsequently provided to Landcorp, who agreed to modify their proposal to exclude Extractive Industry from this portion of the subject site.

Detail

This application is for the carrying out of limestone and sand extraction from the subject site, which is consistent with the following definition of Industry – Extractive under DPS 2:

 

Industry – extractive: means the extraction of sand, gravel, clay, peat, soil, rock, stone, minerals or any similar substance from land, and includes the manufacture of products from those materials when the manufacture and storage is carried out on the land from which any of those materials is extracted or on land adjacent thereto.

 

Overview of proposal:

 

·    The duration of extraction is 30 years;

·    Up to 700 000 tonnes of sand and limestone extracted per year;

·    10 – 12 person workforce for operation;

·    Operating hours of 6.30am – 6pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 5pm Saturday (excluding public holidays);

·    Vehicle access to the subject site is proposed to be from the existing access way which runs through the subject site and connects to Flynn Drive;

·    New weighbridge compound, comprised of weighbridge, site office, fuel and water tanks, and security fencing, located adjacent to the existing haul road access through the subject site and is setback approximately 300m from the street boundary. The weighbridge compound is intended to be used by both vehicles from the existing quarry at Lot 9005 (370K) Flynn Drive, Neerabup, and the proposed quarry at the subject site.

 

Detail of proposal:

 

·    Excavation area created with a depth of 10 to 20 metres;

·    Overburden pushed into perimeter bunds around the excavation area;

·    Limestone and sand pushed into stockpiles by bulldozers at the floor of the pit;

·    Stockpile materials taken to crusher and screener to separate limestone and sand;

·    Limestone and sand loaded into road trucks; and

·    Spent excavation area backfilled and compacted and site levels restored to those prescribed in ASP 17. 

 

Stockpiling of materials and operating plant (such as the crusher and screener) is proposed to be located on the floor of the pit, so that visual and noise impacts on surrounding properties can be minimised.

 

The proposed operations will generally proceed south to north, and west to east. Rehabilitation is proposed to be completed progressively, as the pit moves across the subject site. 

 

Attachment 3 includes the plans (A to F) of the proposal, including the following:

 

·    A - extent of proposed extraction;

·    B - excavation staging plan;

·    C - concept industrial subdivision layout, post-extraction;

·    D - cross sections of the interface between the subject site and adjoining sites;

·    E - plan of the existing vehicle access way to Flynn Drive; and

·    F - floor plans and elevations of the structures associated with the weighbridge compound.

 

An Environmental Management Plan has also been provided with the application, which addresses the management of the following issues:

 

·    Fauna and flora;

·    Dieback;

·    Noise;

·    Dust;

·    Karstic systems; and

·    Ground water.

Consultation

Public Consultation

 

The application was advertised for a period of 21 days in accordance with Clause 64(3) of the Deemed Provisions of DPS 2 by means of an on-site sign, written correspondence to surrounding landowners and occupiers, a notice in the local newspaper and a notice published on the City’s website. The advertising period commenced on 12 October 2018 and closed on 6 November 2018.

 

Administration has had due regard to Draft LPP 2.7: Extractive Industry (LPP 2.7) in the advertising of this application. Draft LPP 2.7 sets out that notice in writing should be provided to owners and occupiers of land located a minimum of one kilometre of the subject site. In accordance with Draft LPP 2.7, written notification of the application has been provided to approximately 80 properties to the south of Flynn Drive, 30 properties within the ASP 17 area to the east of the subject site, and the WAPC as the owner of the land to the west of the subject site.

 

A total of four submissions were received during this time, with two objecting to the proposal, and two raising concerns. The main issues raised in the submissions related to:

 

·    Increased heavy vehicle traffic on Flynn Drive, creating road safety risks;

·    Dust and sand drift impacts;

·    Noise impacts;

·    Transfer of limestone and sand sediment onto surrounding road network;

 

A summary of the submissions, and Administration’s response to these, is included as Attachment 4, and are discussed in further detail in the Comment section below.

 

Consultation with other Agencies or Consultants

 

Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage

 

The subject site abuts Flynn Drive, which is reserved as an Other Regional Road under the MRS. Accordingly, the application was referred to DPLH for their comment. The DPLH advised that the subject site abuts the Flynn Drive Other Regional Road Reserve Review area which shows future road widening over a portion of the subject site. The DPLH noted that the proposal will not affect future road reserve widening and that they have no objection to the proposal on regional transport grounds.

 

In addition, the DPLH’s comments were sought as the subject site includes a portion of land reserved as Parks and Recreation under the MRS, with a designation of Bush Forever. MRS Parks and Recreation reserved land is also located on the abutting Lot 502 (450) Flynn Drive, Neerabup. The DPLH advised that they have no objection to the proposal, however, noted that the WAPC is seeking public comment on proposed changes to State Planning Policy 2.4 –Basic Raw Materials (SPP 2.4) and associated guidelines. The implications of draft SPP 2.4 is discussed in further detail in the Comment section below.

 

Department of Water and Environmental Regulation

 

Given the proximity of the subject site to Bush Forever Site 293, the application was referred to the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) for comment. DWER advised that the proposal was considered to be of no interest and as such, provided no comment.

 

Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions

 

Given the proximity of the subject site to Bush Forever Site 293, the application was referred to the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) for comment. The DBCA recommended that the extraction activities should not be undertaken directly up to the boundary with the Bush Forever site, as this may increase the chances of unintentional clearing within the Bush Forever site and potential encroachment into the vegetation with quarry materials. DBCA recommended a minimum separation distance of 20 metres between the Bush Forever sites and any extraction activity, in order to mitigate the potential impacts of the quarry activities on the adjacent Bush Forever site. This recommendation will be discussed in further detail in the Comment section below. 

 

Comment

Statement of Planning Policy 2.4 – Basic Raw Materials

 

The subject site is identified as a Priority Resource Location under the Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) Statement of Planning Policy No 2.4 Basic Raw Materials (SPP 2.4), meaning that it is identified as a location of regionally significant resources. 

 

The objective of SPP 2.4 is to protect priority resource locations, which are defined as regionally significant. SPP 2.4 sets out matters which the City is to consider (as appropriate) before determining applications for extractive industry. These include such matters as:

 

·    The significance of the resource in proximity to the priority resource location;

·    The effect on the environment (including the natural landscape) and agricultural land;

·    The effect of traffic, noise, dust and vibration on the amenity of the surrounding area;

·    The ability to rehabilitate the land so it is compatible with long term planning for the locality; and

·    The land which has been subject to resource extraction should be available for other land uses post extraction.

 

Such matters – and the effects on surrounding locality – are discussed in more detail within the subsections below.

 

It is noted that the WAPC has recently released proposed changes to SPP 2.4, and the associated guidelines and mapping, for the purpose of advertising. Council considered the proposed changes to SPP 2.4 at its 5 February 2019 meeting, and endorsed a submission that was provided to the DPLH.

Under Draft SPP 2.4, the subject site is located with the Significant Geological Supplies area, which is the highest priority extraction area for basic raw materials.

ASP 17 Considerations

 

ASP 17 provides a plan showing final surface contour levels which must be achieved prior to subdivision and/or development on the site. As outlined in the Detail section above, this application proposes to restore site levels to those prescribed in ASP 17 following each stage of extraction.  

 

ASP 17 also sets out the requirements for vertical separation between the extent of the excavation and the groundwater levels. The application submitted demonstrates that the required separation distances will be achieved. Notwithstanding, a condition is recommended for compliance with the separation distances set out in ASP 17, should approval be granted.

 

Draft Local Planning Policy 2.7: Extractive Industry

 

The assessment of the proposal had due regard to the provisions of Draft LPP 2.7, which establishes the City’s standards for the assessment and determination of applications for development approval of Extractive Industry. Draft LPP 2.7 sets out guidance on the Environmental Management Plan to be provided, time limiting approvals for Extractive Industry applications and the appropriateness of the sequential land use of site post-extraction.

 

The applicant provided an Environmental Management Plan in accordance with Draft LPP 2.7. Compliance with the Environmental Management Plan provided is recommended as a condition of any development approval issued.

As outlined in further detail below, a term of 10 years has been recommended as a condition of any development approval issued, which is consistent with Draft LPP 2.7, and other approvals issued for Extractive Industry applications.

 

In relation to sequential land use of site post-extraction, Plan ‘C’ of Attachment 3 contains a concept subdivision plan for the future industrial development across the subject site. The applicant has advised that the intent of the operations is to progressively extract the materials south to north, with site levels then being restored to those prescribed in ASP 17, followed by subdivision applications for the creation of industrial lots.

 

Draft LPP 2.7 also defines the ‘disturbance area’ of an Extractive Industry as follows:

 

Disturbance Area: means the portion of land the subject of an Extractive Industry application which would be disturbed (from its natural/current state) as a result of the Extractive Industry, and includes the extraction area, areas used for storing of plant, materials, equipment, ancillary buildings, battering, bunds, screening, vehicle access and parking, as well as areas to be rehabilitated.

 

The disturbance area for the proposal is shown in Plan ‘A’ of Attachment 3 as the ‘Lot 503 Phase 1 Application Boundary’.  

 

Interface with Adjoining Sites

 

Plan ‘D’ of Attachment 3 includes cross sections of the interface between the disturbance area and the adjoining sites. These interfaces are discussed in further detail below.

 

Bush Forever Site 293 (West)

As shown in Plan ‘D’ of Attachment 2, the subject site abuts Bush Forever Site 293, which is located across Lot 502 (450) Flynn Drive, Neerabup, with a portion being located in the south-west of the subject site. As noted above, the DBCA has reviewed the application and has recommended that a 20 metre buffer be imposed between the boundary of Bush Forever Site 293 and any extraction activity on the subject site, so as to mitigate potential impacts from the extraction activity. This 20 metre buffer is shown on Plan ‘D’ of Attachment 3, and the imposition of this buffer is recommended as a condition of any development approval granted.

Flynn Drive (South)

 

There will be a 20 metre buffer between the Flynn Drive lot boundary and the start of the batter going down into the pit.

 

Lot 9005 (370K) Flynn Drive, Neerabup (East)

 

As shown in Plan ‘D’ of Attachment 3, the existing levels on the subject site are higher than those of the adjoining Lot 9005 (370K) Flynn Drive, Neerabup. As material is removed within the subject site, the final surface contours will be brought down to provide continuity with the surface contours of the adjoining Lot 9005.

 

Remainder of Subject Site (North)

 

There will be a 10m fire break between the top of the northern-most batter and the remainder of the subject site.

 

Extraction within Service Industrial portion of subject site

 

The southern portion of the subject site is zoned Service Industrial under ASP 17. Industry – Extractive is not permitted ‘X’ within the Service Industrial zone, meaning that it is not capable of approval in this area.

As discussed above, ASP 17 provides a plan showing final surface contour levels which must be achieved prior to subdivision and/or development on the site. It is noted that the existing surface levels within the Service Industrial portion of the subject site are approximately 10 metres above the final levels set out in ASP 17. Therefore, prior to any future subdivision or development within this portion of the subject site, bulk earthworks would be required to reduce the existing levels to those prescribed in ASP 17. Administration therefore considers that the operations within this portion of the subject site could be considered as bulk earthworks and approved as part of this application. It is noted that bulk earthworks is not a land use under DPS 2, and as such there is no corresponding permissibility within the Service Industrial zone. The City’s Local Planning Policy 4.18 – Earthworks and Sand Drift (LPP 4.18) defines earthworks as follows:

 

Earthworks: means any works which alter the levels of a site which may include recontouring, filling, cutting, draining and/or stabilising of land as part of works associated with the development of land.

A condition is recommended on any approval granted, specifying that only Bulk Earthworks is approved within the Service Industrial portion of the subject site, and that no Industry – Extractive use is to take place within this area. This means that no processing of materials associated with Industry – Extractive may take place within the Service Industrial portion of the subject site.

LPP 4.18 stipulates that a Dust Management Plan is provided as part of any application for bulk earthworks, or is conditioned as part of any development approval granted. The Dust Management Plan provided with the application is discussed in further detail below.

Proximity of Extractive Industry and Bulk Earthworks to Sensitive Land Uses

 

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) Guidance Statement No. 3 – Separation Distances between Industrial and Sensitive Land Uses (Guidance State No. 3) is intended to provide generic default buffers to mitigate potential noise and dust impacts associated with Extractive Industry. As set out in Guidance Statement No. 3, these buffer distances are not intended to be absolute separation distances, and reduced buffer sizes may be appropriate where management of the relevant impacts can be sufficiently demonstrated.

 

The recommended separation distance set out in Guidance Statement No. 3 is 300 – 500 metres between sand and limestone extraction and sensitive land uses (namely, residential development).

 

As illustrated in Attachment 5, the subject site is approximately 80m to the closest area of Residential-zoned land, located to the south of Flynn Drive on Lot 9000 (569) Flynn Drive, Carramar. As noted in the Background section, this area is subject to subdivision approvals for Residential and Special Residential-zoned lots. The proximity of these areas to Flynn Drive was considered as part of subdivision applications affecting Lot 9000 (569) Flynn Drive, Carramar, and the followings conditions were imposed:

 

·    Notifications on the titles of those lots closest to Flynn Drive, to the effect that these lots may be affected by transport noise;

·    Noise bunds and acoustic walls to be constructed along the boundary with Flynn Drive; and

·    Quiet House Design measures to be included in the construction of housing closest to Flynn Drive.

 

While these measures above were imposed as subdivision conditions in recognition of transport noise from Flynn Drive, they are also considered to contribute to mitigating any noise impacts from operations on the subject site. It is also noted that a large area of land zoned “Private Clubs/Recreation” is included within this subdivision area along the boundary with Flynn Drive. The effect of this Private Clubs/Recreation area is that it minimises the exposure of residential lots within the subdivision area to the Flynn Drive boundary.

 

It is noted that no subdivision clearance application has yet been lodged for the approved subdivision at Lot 9000 (569) Flynn Drive, Carramar. The applicant has recognised that the largest potential area of impact on sensitive land uses will be from the south-eastern portion of the lot, where the separation distance is approximately 80 metres. The applicant has therefore suggested commencing the first stage of operations from the south-east moving west (rather than south-west moving east as identified in staging plan in Plan ‘C’ of Attachment 3). This would mean that operations in the south-east corner could be progressed and finalised as quickly as possible, prior to residential lots being created to the south of Flynn Drive. This reversal of stages 1 to 5 has been included as a recommended condition of any approval granted. 

 

As discussed below, Administration considers that the application has sufficiently demonstrated that the potential impacts of noise and dust from the proposal can be sufficiently managed. Therefore, Administration considers that the proposed deviation from the generic default buffer set out in Guidance State No. 3 is acceptable.

 

Noise

 

Two of the submitters objected to the proposal as they consider it will produce excessive noise which will negatively impact the amenity of the existing and future residential and rural residential areas to the south of Flynn Drive.

 

It is noted that the closed residential dwelling is approximately 85m south of the subject site. The City’s Health Services has reviewed the application and has advised that the provision of an Acoustic Report as part of the development application is not considered necessary given the separation distances to noise sensitive land uses.

 

It is noted that the noise levels generated from the proposed activities are required to comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 (Noise Regulations) at all times.

 

A condition has been recommended for the landowner to keep a complaints log in which any complaints relating to noise must be recorded, including the steps taken in relation to the complaint. This complaints log is required to be submitted to the City on an annual basis. An additional condition is recommended for operations on site to cease immediately where compliance with the Noise Regulations cannot be maintained.

 

These conditions are considered appropriate to ensure that the operations at the subject site comply with the requirements of the Noise Regulations.

 

Dust and Sand Drift

 

All of the submissions raised concerns with the potential for the proposed development to result in sand drift over the surrounding areas. Concern was also raised that sand and limestone sediment will be brought on to the surrounding road network, creating a slippery road surface.

 

In addition to the above, it is also noted that the City has received numerous complaints regarding sand drift and limestone residue being brought onto the surrounding road network from the existing limestone quarry at the adjoining Lot 9005 (370K) Flynn Drive, Neerabup. Investigation by the City has found these complaints to be substantiated, namely during the wetter winter months. The City has issued notices of non-compliance and has liaised with the landowner to address the complaints received. Any future complaints relating to the existing limestone quarry will be investigated by the City.

 

The Dust Management Plan (DMP) provided with the application has identified that the main source of dust from the site is expected to be from vehicle transport of materials, rather than excavation. The DMP has identified the following dust management strategies, which the applicant has advised have been considered with regard to the DEC (DWER) applicable Guidelines (Guidelines for managing the impacts of dust and associated contaminants from land development sites, contaminated sites remediation and other related activities):

 

·    Vegetation will be cleared and topsoil stripped in months and conditions less conducive to dust generation;

·    The total area disturbed or open at any one time will be minimised;

·    A water cart, stationed on-site, will be used to water roads to prevent the generation of dust; and

·    All vehicles leaving the site required to have loads covered.

 

Administration has reviewed the above dust management measures, and has advised that they are acceptable, subject to the following measures also being undertaken:

 

·    Perimeter bunds made from overburden are to be hydro-mulched and seeded as soon as practical;

·    Screening to be provided along the southern lot boundary;

·    Installation of a heavy duty wheel wash to be used by vehicles exiting the subject site; and

·    Surrounding roads are to be swept clean at the end of each day wherever sand is visible.

 

It is considered that the requirement for a wheel wash will also serve to address the ongoing compliance issues with the existing limestone quarry at the adjoining Lot 9005 (370K) Flynn Drive, Neerabup, as both sites will be using the same vehicle access and weighbridge compound.

 

A condition has been recommended for a consolidated DMP to be provided for the City’s approval, prior to the commencement of any development, which addresses the dust management measures recommended above.

 

Traffic and Road Safety

 

Traffic Volumes

 

A number of submissions raised concerns with the potential for the proposed development to increase the amount of vehicle traffic in the area.

 

As discussed in the Background section of this report, the subject site is adjacent to existing quarrying activities on Lot 9005 (370K) Flynn Drive, Neerabup, which is operated by WA Limestone. As part of the development approval for this existing quarry, vehicle access was proposed through the subject site, with a crossover onto Flynn Drive. The proposed quarry on the subject site is intended to also use this existing vehicle access and crossover. 

 

The applicant has advised that the approximate yearly output of the existing WA Limestone quarry is 700 000 – 800 000 tonnes, which is comparable to the expected output of the proposed quarry on the subject site (700 000 tonnes).The applicant has also advised that records from the past 30 years indicate that peak market demand for sand and limestone is limited to 700 000 tonnes per year, meaning that the operation of a second quarry on the subject site would not be expected to increase overall supply of these materials. As such, the applicant has indicated that they do not expect a net increase in traffic from that associated with the existing WA Limestone quarry.

 

Notwithstanding the above, a Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) has been provided with the application, which assumes that both the existing WA Limestone quarry and proposed quarry each operate at their respective maximum capacities. Under this scenario, the proposed quarry at the subject site is expected to generate a maximum of 300 vehicle trips per day (VTPD), in addition to the maximum 300 VTPD associated with the WA Limestone quarry. The TIS identifies that, as a Regional Distributor Road, Flynn Drive has a capacity of 13 500 VTPD. The City’s Traffic Services has reviewed the TIS and has advised that the adjacent roads and intersections are adequate to accommodate the predicted traffic volumes associated with the proposed quarry.

Road Safety

Three of the submissions also raised concern with potential road safety issues associated with having heavy vehicles access and egress Flynn Drive.

The TIS concluded that visibility at the existing vehicle access on Flynn Drive, which the proposed quarry will also be using, is in excess of 180 metres in both directions and complies with the requirements of Austroads for the posted 80 kilometres per hour speed limit.

In addition to the above, the City’s Traffic Services has reviewed the access arrangements proposed as part of this application and have advised as follows:

·    The crossover to Flynn Drive is situated on the apex of a bend and as such there is adequate sight lines in either direction for trucks entering Flynn Drive; and

·    Vehicles on Flynn Drive approaching this crossover have adequate sight lines to the trucks entering Flynn Drive.

It is also noted that advance warning signs of trucks entering Flynn Drive are present for both the western and eastern approaches to the subject site’s Flynn Drive vehicle access.

Caves and Karstic Features

The subject site falls within the Low to Medium Karst risk area as identified in Local Planning Policy 4.13: Caves and Karstic Features (LPP 4.13). Table 1 of LPP 4.13 requires a “Geotechnical Report” to be provided where prior planning stages specifically request further karst investigation. As prior planning stages (Structure Planning) have not required for this to occur, Administration is satisfied that the provisions of LPP 4.13 have been met without the need for the applicant to submit a further geotechnical report to support the excavation.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of LPP 4.13, it is still considered that a geotechnical report be provided to support the restoration of the site levels on conclusion of the excavation, as required under ASP 17. The requirement for the applicant to provide the Geotechnical Report once ground levels are restored is recommended as a condition of any development approval issued.

 

State Planning Policy 3.7 – Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas

 

State Planning Policy 3.7 – Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas (SPP 3.7) requires applications for development in bushfire prone areas to be accompanied by a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment. The BAL assessment provided by the applicant identifies the majority of the site as BAL LOW, in light of the vegetation clearing required prior to extraction.

 

The subject site is covered by an endorsed Bushfire Management Plan (BMP), dated June 2017, for ASP 17 area. Additional bushfire management measures are also contained within the Environmental Management Plan contained within the application. Compliance with the ASP 17 BMP and the Environmental Management Plan are recommended as conditions of any development approval issued.

 

Weighbridge Compound and Staff Parking

 

The weighbridge compound is setback approximately 300m from the Flynn Drive lot boundary, which is compliant with the street setback provisions of DPS 2.

 

In relation to the provision of vehicle parking on the subject site, it is noted that DPS 2 does not outline specific parking requirements for Industry – Extractive. In accordance with Clause 4.14.1 of DPS 2, the Council may therefore determine the appropriate parking standard to be applied. Administration notes that developments such as that proposed typically have a low staff to land area ratio, and do not have customers visiting the site. Therefore it is considered appropriate to apply a parking standard of one bay per staff member at the site at any one time.

 

The applicant has advised that operations will typically involve 10 to 12 staff on-site at any one time.  Administration considers that there is sufficient area within the weighbridge compound for this number of staff vehicles.

 

Operating Hours

 

The proposed operating hours are 6.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 5pm Saturday. These operating hours are comparable to the operating hours of the existing queries in the Neerabup area. The Environmental Management Plan, which has been discussed above, sets out the measures required to mitigate potential impacts on surrounding land uses based on the operating hours proposed.

 

Duration of Approval

 

The applicant has proposed to continue to carry out sand extraction for 30 years. However, consistent with Draft LPP 2.7, Administration is proposing conditions that limit the term of the approval to a maximum of two consecutive five year periods. The conditions are worded in such a way that the second five year period could only be carried out by the applicant if they can demonstrate that they have satisfied the conditions of development approval during the first five year period. Following this 10 year approval period, the applicant can then apply to the City to extend the approval further.

 

Extractive Industry Licence Application

 

At the same time as the development application was lodged, the applicant also lodged an application for an extractive industry licence, made under the City’s Extractive Industries Local Law 1998 (Local Law). In accordance with the Local Law, for the City to grant a licence, it must at least first grant a correlating development approval for the extraction of materials. The Local Law also requires copies of any environmental approval, including vegetation clearing permit (issued by DWER), prior to the issuing of the extractive industry licence. It is noted that development approval is required prior to the issuing of a vegetation clearing permit. The extractive industry licence will therefore be progressed by the City, following the determination of DA2018/509 and the submission of the relevant environmental approvals.

Conclusion

The development application for Industry – Extractive and Bulk Earthworks at Lot 503 (398) Wattle Avenue, Neerabup has been assessed against the relevant legislation and planning requirements. The proposed land use and works are considered acceptable under the provisions of DPS 2, ASP 17 and the relevant local and state planning policies. Administration therefore recommends the proposed development be approved, subject to the recommended conditions.

Background

On 15 August 2018, the City received a development application for a Change of Use from a Showroom to a Recreation Centre (Pool and Snooker) at Lot 381 (3/10) Pensacola Terrace, Clarkson (subject site). A location plan of the subject site is included in Attachment 1.

Detail

The development application proposes a Change of Use from a Showroom to a Recreation Centre which is a “D” (Discretionary) use in the Business zone. The details of the development are as follows:

 

·    The use of the premises for pool and snooker activities;

·    The incorporation of a lounge area to accommodate a future small bar area for the purpose of serving food and drinks (incidental to the Recreation Centre and subject to a liquor licence).

·    A maximum of 57 staff and patrons at any one time; and

·    Operating hours between 11am – 12am Monday to Saturday and 12pm – 11pm Sunday.

 

Further information on the operation of the proposed Recreation Centre is included as Attachment 2.  The site plan and floor plan for the subject site are included in Attachment 3.

Consultation

The proposal was advertised to the surrounding residential landowners along Pensacola Terrace and St Kilda Turn, Clarkson as indicated on Attachment 1.  Advertising was undertaken by the City in writing for a period of 21 days commencing on 24 October 2018 and closing on 14 November 2018.

Following consultation, three submissions were received which all objected to the proposal. The main issues raised during the advertising period relate to:

 

·    The potential for the Recreation Centre to create parking issues in the area;

·    The generation of additional noise due to late operating hours;

·    The proposal not being a compatible land use in the area;

·    The generation of anti-social behaviour due to late operating hours; and

·    A reduction in housing values for nearby properties.

 

The issues raised in the submissions are discussed in further detail in the Comment section below. A summary of submissions and Administration’s comments are included in Attachment 4.

Comment

The application has been assessed in accordance with the provisions of DPS 2 and ASP 2. The main issues identified by Administration relate to the appropriateness of the land use within the ASP 2 area and the compatibility with the objectives of the Business zone. These issues, as well as those identified in the submissions received are discussed in further detail below.

ASP 2 Zoning

 

The ASP 2 area is centred around Ocean Keys Boulevard as the main street. Surrounding the main street is Commercial-zoned land, surrounded by Mixed Use, Business and Residential Zones. This is shown in Attachment 5. The subject land is located within the Business zone under ASP 2, of which the primary objectives are:

 

·    To provide for a range of retail and wholesale outlets dealing predominantly in bulky goods;

·    To create a retail environment that complements the Clarkson Activity Centre and the residential/mixed use areas;

·    To provide a compatible land use buffer between the major traffic thoroughfares and the residential areas; and

·    To provide an interesting and attractive main road frontage.

 

The Business zone is intended to comprise predominantly of mixed business and showroom uses, with supporting bulky goods, retail, office and service commercial uses. Comparatively, the Commercial-zoned core of the ASP 2 area is intended to be the active focus and centre of the community, with a balance of viable uses and a diversity of retail and commercial uses and leisure opportunities that generate day and evening activity.

 

Surrounding Land Uses

 

The subject site is located in the Business zone to the north-west of Ocean Keys Boulevard. This area is predominantly compromised of premises for the following uses:

 

·    Vehicle Sales and Hire Premises;

·    Motor Vehicle Repairs; and

·    Shops.

 

There are also Recreation Centres approved within the Business zone of ASP 2 as listed below: 

 

·    Busy Bodies (Gym) located at 4 Pensacola Terrace, Clarkson neighbouring the subject site  – Permitted for 24/7 use and currently operating.

The following are located within the southern Business zone of ASP 2:

 

·    Da Beat (Dance Studio) located at Unit 13/ 61 Key Largo Drive within the southern Business zone of ASP 2 -  Permitted for 4.00pm to 9.00pm Monday to Friday and Saturday from 9.00 am to 3.00pm and currently operating;

·    Surge Fitness (Gym) located at Unit 9/ 61 Key Largo Drive within the southern Business zone of ASP 2 – Permitted for 24/7 use and currently operating.

 

The definition of Recreation Centre under DPS 2 is:

 

any premises used for physical exercise or sports including swimming, ice skating, ten pin bowling, cricket, tennis, squash, soccer, billiards and similar activities.”

 

This definition is notably broad and can be applied to many different uses including Gyms, Dance Studio’s and indoor sporting complexes. A Recreation Centre is a ‘D’ use within the Business zone in which case the City is required to give discretion to DPS 2, ASP 2 and the overall context of the surrounding land uses. When giving discretion to proposed land uses, some forms of Recreation Centres may be considered appropriate within the Business Zone of ASP 2 by nature of their intended use, namely where they do not draw leisure activities away from the Commercial zone or where they are considered compatible alongside existing uses within the zone.

 

The existing Dance Studio’s and Gym are used for physical exercise, which provide a specialised service as the scale of use and social impact to the adjacent residential area are minimal and can be controlled by the City. In contrast, the subject Recreation Centre is considered more as an entertainment source which is seen as an incompatible leisure activity which can create additional activity out of character with the Business Zone. Notwithstanding, the leisure aspect that is created opens the opportunity for reciprocal uses between other leisure uses in the Commercial zone such the existing restaurants and Tavern. The proposed small bar area within the Recreation Centre would also fall within this category as it is a similar use. As such, the City considers that these compatible land uses are better suited to the Commercial zone.

Compatibility with the objectives of the Business Zone

Clause 7.6.2 of ASP 2 outlines the specific objectives of the Business zone. The table below outlines the objectives and Administration’s comments on the proposal in respect to these.

 

7.6.2 Objectives

Comments

a.

To provide for a range of retail and wholesale outlets dealing predominantly in bulky goods;

The proposal does not incorporate the sale of goods of any nature, either by retail or wholesale.

b.

To create a retail environment that complements the Clarkson Activity Centre and the residential/mixed use

areas;

The proposal does not incorporate the retail sale of goods and will be operating during and outside the peak retail times of 9am-5pm. The proposed use would also draw leisure/ night activity away from the Centre.

c.

To provide a compatible land use buffer between the major traffic thoroughfares and the residential areas; and

The proposal creates a land use that is not compatible with the Residential Area to the east Clarkson. 

d.

To provide an interesting and attractive main road frontage.

This is not considered to be relevant to the proposal as there are no changes proposed to the built form.  

 

As outlined above, Administration considers that the proposed Recreation Centre does not address the objectives of the Business Zone under ASP 2. Instead, the proposal is considered more suitable within the Commercial Zone. The table below outlines the objectives of the Commercial zone in ASP 2 and Administration’s comments on the proposal in respect to these.

 

7.6.1 Objectives

Comments

a.

Create a Main-Street as the active focus for the community with a balance of viable uses and a diversity of retail and commercial uses and leisure opportunities that generate day and evening activity;

The Recreation Centre within this zone would create an additional public activity , which given the operating hours would be available for day and evening use. 

b.

Encourage high standards of built form and streetscape;

 

The proposal assists in increasing vibrancy and usability of the zone. 

c.

Provide continuity of activity along streets; and

 

The Recreation Centre is compatible with existing uses within the Commercial which can create increased activity.

d.

Provide efficient vehicle access with pedestrian priority.

 

This is not considered to be relevant to the proposal no new development is proposed.  

 

The purpose of the proposed Recreation Centre is to provide leisure opportunities to the public and has the capacity to generate activity in later hours of the day which is considered to be better suited to the Commercial zone. Additionally, it is considered to be compatible with existing food and leisure uses along the main street (Ocean Keys Boulevard), increasing the social amenity of the Commercial Zone. Overall, this is seen to be a better performance based outcome for the structure plan area. Were the Recreation Centre to be located in the Business zone, it would be segregated from other compatible uses within the Centre of ASP 2.

Notwithstanding, Administration does not support the proposal as discussed above, the following comment is provided in relation to the other issues raised in the submissions.

Parking

 

Concerns were raised in the submissions over the potential for increased parking demand on the site and within the adjacent road reserve as a result of the proposed change of use. In order to address the parking concerns raised in the submissions, the maximum number of patrons and staff was reduced from 70 to 57 to satisfy the parking requirements of DPS 2. As shown in Attachment 3, a total of 67 bays are currently provided on site. As a result of the proposed change of use, a total parking requirement of 67 bays under DPS 2 has been identified, as outlined below.

TOTAL

 

 

67 bays

 

The provision of 67 existing parking bays satisfies the minimum parking requirement as outlined above. Under the previous approvals for the entire site, parking bays have not been allocated to each individual unit. Administration considers that the parking issue raised in the submissions has been sufficiently addressed through modifying the proposal to reduce the maximum number of patrons and staff.

Noise

Submitters raised concerns with regards to the potential for increased noise as a result of the subject development due to the extended operating hours of 11am – 12am Monday to Saturday and 12pm – 11pm Sunday.

The applicant provided an acoustic report, which concluded that the proposed development could comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997, subject to a number of noise mitigation measures being undertaken, including:

·     Ensuring the entry door is fitted with an automatic closer so that it is kept closed at all times after 10:00pm;

·     Ensuring that subwoofers are not in use within the premises;

·     Ensuring that no glass is emptied into external bins after 7:00pm; and.

·     Ensuring that groups of individuals do not congregate within the car park after 10:00pm. Signage is required to be placed on the exit door to this effect.

 

Administration considers that the noise issue raised in the submissions could be addressed through the imposition a condition, requiring compliance with the acoustic report.

Conclusion

The submitters concerns in regards to noise and parking are capable of being addressed sufficiently. Notwithstanding, Administration recommends that the application for a Showroom to Recreation Centre (Pool/ Snooker) at 3/10 Pensacola Terrace, Clarkson be refused for the reasons set out in the recommendation.

Statutory Compliance

This application has been assessed in accordance with the City of Wanneroo’s District Planning Scheme No. 2 and Agreed Structure Plan 2.

Background

The subject site abuts Ocean Falls Boulevard to the north, Anchorage Drive to the east, residential properties to the south, and carparking for the Mindarie Marina to the west. A location plan is included as Attachment 1. The subject site currently consists of car parking and landscaping. 

 

The subject site is zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS), and Marina under the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS 2). The subject site is located within the District 2: Harbourside Village – 2A Harbourside Commercial Precinct under the Mindarie Keys Harbourside Village Agreed Structure Plan No. 13 (ASP 13). The subject site is also identified as being within a bushfire prone area, as per State Planning Policy 3.7: Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas (SPP 3.7).

 

The Mindarie Marina, located at Lot 7001 (33) Ocean Falls Boulevard is approximately 250m to the west of the subject site, and consists of a variety of uses, including:

·    The Boat Bar and Restaurant;

·    The Indian Ocean Brewing Company;

·    The Mindarie Marina Hotel and Villas; and

·    Four boat ramps; and

·    Approximately 250 boat pens.

 

On 26 May 2017 a development application (DA2017/655) was lodged to erect a fence around the existing boat trailer parking bays, for the purposes of parking boats at the subject site. A full assessment and public consultation was conducted though the application was subsequently withdrawn by the applicant on 21 March 2018.

 

Detail

The subject development application was lodged with the City on 21 September 2018, and proposes:

·    The construction of a 1.8m high fence around 27 existing boat and trailer parking bays centrally within the subject site;

·    The installation of mature landscaping around the perimeter of the facility;

·    Civil works within the car parking area, including the removal and relocation of existing traffic islands and line marking, the removal for four car parking bays, and the provision of 11 new parking bays; and

·    Installation of CCTV to minimise the potential for anti-social behavior. Access to the facility will be by electronic swipe card only.

 

A copy of the proposed plan is included as Attachment 2.

 

As noted in the Background section of this Report, the site is zoned Marina under DPS 2. Clause 3.10.3(b) of DPS 2 states that the permissibility of uses is to be determined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant structure plan, which in this instance is ASP 13. Clause 3.2.2 of ASP 13 states that for the 2A Harbourside Commercial Precinct, uses permitted for this precinct are the same as those which apply to the Commercial zone in DPS 2, with the exception of Holiday Village/Resort, Drive-Through Food Outlet, Funeral Parlour, and Restricted Premises, which have a different permissibility to that which is outlined in Table 1 – the Zoning Table of DPS 2. The proposed development falls within the Car Park land use as per DPS 2. A Car Park is a permitted “P” use in the Commercial zone under DPS 2. Administration proceeded to advertise the application for public consultation.  A detailed discussion of this is outlined in the Comment section of this Report.

Consultation

Public consultation was undertaken by way of a notice on the City’s website, and landowners and occupiers within a 100m radius of the subject site were notified in writing, commencing on 13 November 2018. At the conclusion of the comment period (21 days) 45 submissions were received. 15 of these submissions were provided from adjoining landowners who objected to the proposal and 30 were provided by the applicant who obtained surveys in support of the proposal from potential stakeholders whilst at the Mindarie Marina.

 

A summary of submissions received and Administration’s responses are shown in Attachment 3.

 

The main issues raised during the advertising period and following detailed assessment by Administration relate to:

·    The provision of adequate car parking for the Mindarie Marina;

·    The impact of the proposal on the existing amenity of the area;

·    The impact of noise and odour generated from the proposal on nearby residential properties;

·    The appropriateness of the land use;

·    The impact of additional traffic generated by the proposal on the surrounding road network; and

·    The increase in anti-social behaviour.

 

A more detailed discussion of the major issues considered in the assessment of the application is provided in the Comment section.

Comment

Land Use

 

Consideration of Car Park Land Use

 

As stated in the Detail section of this Report, the proposal is considered to fall within the Car Park land use under DPS 2. Schedule 1(2) of DPS 2 defines a Car Park as:

 

“Car park: means premises used primarily for the parking of private vehicles or taxis whether open to the public or not but does not include any part of a public road which is used for the through movement of traffic or premises on or in which vehicles are displayed for sale or premises set aside to meet a specific parking requirement under the Scheme.  The term includes the land required on site for access and manoeuvring to enable vehicles to gain access to car parking bays” (emphasis added).

 

The land use definition refers to the term ‘vehicle’. Schedule 1(1) of DPS 2 defines a ‘vehicle’ as:

 

Vehicle: includes motorcycles, boats, caravans, trailers(emphasis added).

 

Based on DPS 2 defining a vehicle to specifically include boats and trailers, Administration considers these to be consistent with the definition of a Car Park land use. The DPS 2 definition also specifically refers to private vehicles, which in the context of this application, would refer to the boats and trailers being owned and used privately, and not commercially. As the site is intended for private use, this is considered to satisfy the ‘private vehicle’ aspect of the Car Park land use definition. It is recommended that should Council approve the application, a condition be imposed restricting the parking of boats and trailers to be for private use only, to ensure the development operates in accordance with the land use definition.

 

In determining the appropriate DPS 2 use class of the proposal, Administration has considered other potential uses classes, including Storage Yard, Marina, and Unlisted Use, however these have not been considered appropriate as follows:

 

·    Storage Yard - A Storage Yard is a not permitted “X” use within the Commercial zone, and is defined as “means any land or buildings used for the storage of goods, equipment, plant or materials.” The parking of boats and trailers may be considered to fall within the broad definition of goods and equipment. However, Clause 3.2.3 of DPS 2 identifies that “where in Table 1 a particular use is mentioned it is deemed to be excluded from any other use class which by its more general terms might otherwise include such particular use.” Administration considers that the proposal may be interpreted by some to fall under the Storage Yard use based on the general terms included in its definition, however as the proposal is specifically referred to in the Car Park definition, the proposal is not considered to be a Storage Yard.

 

·    Marina – A Marina land use is defined in Schedule 1(2) of DPS 2 as “means premises at which berths or pens, and fuelling, servicing, repairing, storage (including storage on land) and other facilities for boats are provided, with or without the sale of boating gear and equipment, and includes all jetties, piers, embankments, quays and moorings appurtenant thereto and all offices and storerooms used in connection therewith.” Despite being defined as a land use, Marina is not included within Table 1, and is not referenced in ASP 13, and as a result, the permissibility of this use is unknown. Administration therefore considers that the Marina land use is not applicable in this instance.

 

·    Unlisted Use – Clause 3.3 of DPS 2 outlines that if the use of the land for a particular purpose is not specifically mentioned in Table 1 and cannot reasonably be determined as falling within the interpretation of one of the use categories, the proposal can be considered as an Unlisted Use, and can be treated as either a permitted “P”, discretionary “D”, or not permitted “X” use. As the proposal falls reasonably within the Car Park use class, Administration does not consider the proposal to be an Unlisted Use.

 

In light of this, Administration considers that the most appropriate use class under DPS 2 for the proposal is a Car Park, and the application has been assessed on this basis.

 

Process for Considering Permitted “P” Uses

 

As stated in the Detail section of this Report, the use permissibility for the 2A Harbourside Commercial Precinct is the same as those which apply to the Commercial zone under DPS 2, as outlined in ASP 13. As per Table 1 of DPS 2, a Car Park is a permitted “P” use within the Commercial zone. Clause 6.2.1 of DPS 2 states the following with respect to dealing with “P” uses:

 

“If an application under the Scheme for Development Approval involves a “P” use, the Council shall not refuse the application by reason of the unsuitability of that use, but notwithstanding that, the Council may in its discretion impose conditions upon the Development Approval and if the application proposes or necessarily involves any building or other work, the Council upon considering that building or other work may exercise its discretion as to the approval or refusal and the conditions to be attached to the proposed development”.

 

This Clause of DPS 2 outlines that applications for permitted “P” uses cannot be refused based on the unsuitability of the use, however discretion can be exercised to approve or refuse the works associated with the use. In the context of this application, Council cannot refuse the application by reason of the unsuitability of the use (being the parking of private boats and trailers). However it can approve or refuse the application based on the associated fencing and modifications to the car park which are proposed in association with the use.

 

Works Associated with Application

 

To accommodate the secure boat parking area, the application proposes the following modifications to the existing car parking layout:

·    The erection of a fence around 27 existing trailer bays, with this area to be used for the secure parking of boats;

·    The removal of four existing car parking bays, with these to be replaced by 11 new car parking bays, which will be abutting the northern portion of the proposed boat and trailer parking area;

·    Modifications to the existing kerbing within the car park to accommodate the above works. This includes the removal/modification of some of the existing kerbing, and the installation of new kerbing; and

·    The installation of new landscaping around the permitter of the boat and trailer parking area within the car park. Further planting is also proposed in existing landscaped areas within the Anchorage Drive and Ocean Falls Boulevard verges.

 

Installation of Fencing

 

Clause 4.18 of DPS 2 requires screening to be provided where there are to remain any materials (which Administration considers is a broad term and could incorporate the parking of boats and trailers); this is to be screened from view from adjoining properties and streets. Administration does not consider that this clause is applicable to this application, as the proposal is for boat and trailer parking within the existing car park, which is currently utilised for the same purposes (although in an unsecured manner at present). Notwithstanding this, the application proposes the installation of landscaping, which is discussed in further detail below.

 

Installation of Landscaping

 

Clause 4.17.1 of DPS 2 requires 8% of the site area to be developed and maintained as landscaping. Based on the current site configuration approximately 1,001m2 of the 6,802m2 site area is landscaped, which equates to 14.7% of the site. As a result of the proposed modifications, the landscaped area will be reduced to approximately by 106m2 to 895m2. This will result in 13.1% of the site being landscaped. While this is a reduction, the percentage of landscaping exceeds the 8% requirement of DPS 2, and is considered acceptable by Administration. A copy of the proposed landscape plan is included as Attachment 4.

 

Clause 4.17.2 of DPS 2 requires a minimum area of 3m along the street alignment to be landscaped. It is noted that the existing landscaping is less than 3m to the street alignments of Ocean Fall Boulevard and Anchorage Drive, due in part to the level difference between the roads and the subject site. Given the application does not propose any reductions to this existing landscaping along the street alignment, Administration does not consider this requirement to be applicable.

 

Modifications to Existing Kerbing

 

The proposed modifications to the layout of car park, including the modified kerbing, has been reviewed and considered acceptable by Administration. In this regard, the proposal is considered acceptable.

 

Provision of Adequate Car Parking

Concerns were raised in regards for a potential shortfall in parking across the site and that the proposed modifications will increase illegally parked vehicles within the area. Car parking for the Mindarie Marina is currently provided across Lot 7001, Lot 109 (23), Lot 107 (23), Lot 7002 (7), and the subject site. The applicant submitted a parking analysis for the Mindarie Marina which identifies a total of 564 car parking bays, four motorcycle bays and 157 boat trailer bays within the survey area. Refer to Figure 1 of Attachment 5 for the survey area. All parking is unrestricted and publicly available, with the exception of 11 car bays which have been set aside for the exclusive use of hotel guests. The difference between a car parking bay and a trailer parking bay is the length, of which a trailer parking bay is twice the length of the car parking bay. Under the current parking arrangements, the trailer parking bays are not marked to restrict cars parking in these. In these instances two cars can be accommodated in a trailer parking bay resulting in a total of 878 car parking bays within the survey area. There is currently a total of 758 car parking bays provided across these lots, 163 of which are available for use as either trailer bays or regular car parking bays. The subject site currently consists of 77 car parking bays and 51 trailer parking bays.

Administration notes that there is an existing shortfall of 209 car bays within the Marina area. The application proposes to increase the car parking bays by 7 but reduce the 27 existing boat and trailer parking bays (which can accommodate 54 car parking spaces) given it will be enclosed by a fence, which limits access to these bays, and would no longer contribute to parking available for the Mindarie Marina site. A total of 47 car bays are being removed as part of this application, increasing the overall car parking shortfall to 256 car bays.

 

In addition to the concerns raised, submitters provided Administration with photos of the parking at the subject site and surrounding streets, during events held at the Marina. These photos are included as Attachment 6, and indicate that during events, there is a high demand for parking, which results in cars parking within the existing trailer bays that will no longer be usable and on surrounding streets.

 

Administration notes the concerns raised in regards to the overflow of parking, however this is not subject of this application. Events surrounding the subject site would be subject to an event license which would require a Traffic Management Plan to address the above concerns and would be dealt with on an individual basis. The above is not an indication of daily parking activities in the area.

Notwithstanding the above, Administration identifies that there is a notable shortfall on the site which was increased as a result of Councils approval for the installation of a Bar, Outdoor Dining Area, Limestone Wall & Earthworks to the Mindarie Hotel at its meeting on 5 February 2019. As part of a parking analysis provided by the applicant, it was noted that the car park is generally underutilised and rarely reaches peak capacity. This is supported by Aerial Imagery of the parking area, included in Attachment 5

The broad approach to parking is not based on the worst case scenario (i.e events, peak periods, etc) as this would result in a significant oversupply of parking that would be vastly underutilised at other times. While it is noted that the parking overflow during peak periods can create amenity issues, the City can use its enforcement powers under the Parking Local Law to infringe those who park illegally.

As such, Administration is of the view that the shortfall could be supported for the following reasons:

·    The parking analysis submitted by the applicant provides aerial imaging which has recently been conducted during weekends in summer with the school holidays on, where peak usage is anticipated. The analysis demonstrated that demand for car parking is highest on the weekends with demand increasing in the late afternoon at 4pm. The supporting Aerial Imagery denotes that the removal of public boat and trailer bays will still provide sufficient parking on site;

·    21 boat and trailer bays on the subject site will remain unaltered as part of the proposal;

·    The aerials demonstrate that the car park has not been operating at full capacity at any point in time when the analysis was conducted;

·    The proposed modifications are unlikely to result in a significant increase in the number of patrons to the site as the proposal is for a parking area only;

·    Administration notes that aside from when summer events are occurring, there are no issues with car parking at Mindarie Marina.

However, whilst supportive of the shortfall, Administration is mindful that there is a high demand for parking during events and the parking shortfall has been calculated on the basis that each boat trailer bay equates to two car parking bays. To ensure sufficient parking is available within the Marina Precinct, Administration has recommended a condition for the proponent to provide a car parking management plan to demonstrate the availability of parking on an ongoing basis.

ASP 13 Requirements

 

Clause 3.2.2 of ASP 13 outlines the specific objectives of the Harbourside Commercial Precinct, as well as specific criteria for development. The table below outlines the objectives and criteria of the Harbourside Commercial Precinct, and Administration’s comments in respect to these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.2.2.1 - Objective

Comment

i.

Create an active focus for the community with a balance of viable uses and a diversity of retail and commercial uses and leisure opportunities that generate day and evening activity.

The proposal does not impact on the provision of viable uses, or the diversity of retail, commercial and leisure opportunities at the existing Mindarie Marina.

ii.

Encourage high standards of built form.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as no ‘building’ is proposed as part of the application.

iii.

Provide continuity of activity along streets and around the harbour.

The proposal does not impact on the continuity of activity along the streets and harbour, as it is centrally located within the existing car parking area.

iv.

Provide efficient vehicle access with pedestrian priority.

The proposal will not impact on the provision of efficient vehicle access or compromise pedestrian priority, as the area is currently use for the parking of vehicles, and is not provided with a pedestrian path.

3.2.2.2 - Criteria

Comment

i.

Buildings shall be a maximum of 3 storeys in height to create a well-scaled street and boardwalk frontage and shall have nil front and side setbacks to create an urban wall to the street boundary and boardwalk boundary.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as no ‘building’ is proposed as part of the application.

ii.

Buildings shall be designed to have active frontages with no blank facades fronting the street and boardwalk.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as no ‘building’ is proposed as part of the application.

iii.

Buildings on corner sites shall be developed as entry statements within the overall urban fabric.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as no ‘building’ is proposed as part of the application.

iv.

Entries to buildings, pedestrian walkways, and car parking areas shall be clearly defined elements in the “urban wall” frontage.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as no ‘building’ is proposed as part of the application.

v.

Car parks shall be designed to provide good pedestrian movements towards buildings, whilst minimising their visual impact on the amenity of the street. Shade trees shall be planted at the rate of one tree to every four cars in ongrade parking areas and shall be protected from damage by vehicles.

The proposal is located centrally within the existing car park, where there is currently no pedestrian path provided. Therefore, the proposal will not impact on pedestrian movements towards to Mindarie Marina. 

 

Administration considers that sufficient landscaping has been added to screen the proposed development as noted in Attachment 4.

 

Clause 4.17.5 of DPS 2 requires the provision of one shade tree per four parking bays. Should the application be approved, Administration recommends that a condition be imposed requiring the provision of these shade trees.

vi.

Service areas, material storage areas and services such as air conditioners, compressors and other machinery shall be located away from public areas and screened from view from streets and public areas by an enclosure in the style and material of the building.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as no service area, material storage areas, or services are proposed in the application. Notwithstanding, landscaping is proposed as part of the application to provide a level of screening from the proposed fencing.

vii.

Roof mounted mechanical equipment, if required, shall be screened from view by the roof form or parapet walls.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as not roof mounted mechanical equipment is required or proposed as part of the application.

viii.

Signage shall be integrated with buildings and shall be appropriate in character. Development approval is required for any signage not included in the original submission.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as no signage is proposed as part of the application

ix.

Pedestrian access shall be provided throughout the precinct, as required by easements or public accessways (PAW) as shown in Plan 1, being the Structure Plan Map.

The ASP 13 map does not indicate the provision of a PAW through the subject site, nor is the subject site the subject of any easements.

 

A 3m wide easement is provided through Lot 7002 (abutting the subject site to the east), as per survey plan 49283, however this does not extend through to the subject site. 

x.

All Commercial Buildings shall be well lit to ensure safe use after hours.

Not considered to be relevant to the proposal as no ‘building’ is proposed as part of the application.

The proposed parking area is considered to meet the above objectives as it adequately addresses the intended amenity of the area. This is discussed in further detail below.

Further Issues Raised During Public Consultation

 

Amenity & Character of the area

 

Concerns were raised during the advertising period regarding the potential for the development to detract from the visual amenity and character on the immediate vicinity, in particular the surrounding residential properties.

 

The subject site is currently utilised for vehicle and boat trailer parking which is considered to have a low amenity impact on the surrounding area. The application proposes to incorporate steel black fencing and landscaping around the parking area to decrease potential visibility and prominence issues that could arise as part of the proposed development. The existing use will not change as part of the application. It is also noted that the subject site sits approximately 2m below the ground level of the adjacent residential homes. The applicant provided architectural drawings which identify how the proposed parking area will be seen from the street. These are noted in Attachment 2. Administration also considers that given the existing use is not changing, the proposal will not detract from or propose anything that is not otherwise planned for within the Harbourside Commercial precinct of ASP 13. As the subject site and adjacent residential homes are located within a Marina Precinct, there will be some level of impact on amenity. Whilst the concerns raised in the submissions are acknowledged by Administration, it is noted that the State Administrative Tribunal’s decision in DCSC Pty Ltd v Presiding Member of the Southern Joint Development Assessment Panel on 23 August 2017 confirmed that residents adjoining a commercial site are to expect a diminished level of comfort, and residential uses in close proximity to non-residential uses cannot expect the same degree of amenity as would be found in a homogenous residential suburb.

 

In light of this, Administration is of the view that the standard of the existing amenity and character for the subject site will not be altered as a result of this application

 

Noise

 

Concerns were raised during the advertising period regarding the potential for noise to be generated from the proposal. The submissions raise concern that this will occur as a result of owners undertaking maintenance on boats, as well as moving them during the morning and evening.

 

The applicant has advised Administration that no maintenance will be permitted to be undertaken on the boats. In light of this, should the application be approved, Administration recommends the imposition of a condition to restrict maintenance and other activities occurring on parked boats, to ensure that no additional noise is generated by these activities. It is considered that the imposition of this condition will adequately address these concerns.

 

With respect to the movement of boats, Administration does not consider that the proposal will generate any more noise than is currently generated from the subject site or adjacent Lot 7002. This is on the basis that the proposal will formalise an area for the parking of boats and trailers in the existing car park, which can currently be used for this purposes (albeit in an unsecured manner). At present boats and trailers can park in the existing bays which are proposed to be surrounded by the fencing. In light of the use of the proposal remaining in a similar manner to the current situation, Administration does not consider that there will be any more noise generated from the site.

 

Notwithstanding the above, an Environmental Noise Assessment was provided which considered the potential impacts the proposed parking area. The report concluded that the proposed development could comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 subject to:

·    Patrons minimising general noise whilst in the area, given the proximity of houses;

·    Patrons not operating or maintaining their boat motors in the area;

·    Reversing alarms on work type vehicles to be turned off and spotters being utilised where necessary;

·    Not to leave vehicle engines running; and

·    Not to leave car radios on.

As part of the submissions received, the City received a third party Environmental Noise Assessment which documented that the applicants acoustic report lacked information to fully support the proposal. Both Environmental Noise Assessments were referred to the City’s Health Services who considered that the information provided by the applicant was satisfactory subject to compliance with the recommendations.

In light of the above, Administration considers that potential noise impacts associated with the proposed development can be sufficiently managed through compliance with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 and through the imposition of specific conditions of development approval. Should any complaints arise relating to noise generated on the site, Administration will investigate to ensure that proposed parking area is operating in compliance with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997.

Traffic

 

Concerns were raised during the advertising period regarding the potential for additional traffic to be generated by the proposal, and the impact that this may have on the surrounding road network.

 

A Parking Survey was provided as part of this application, which investigated the projected traffic increases for the proposal. The parking area was noted to be over 95% unoccupied throughout the survey period and further observational data outlined that the car park rarely reaches capacity and therefore generates low traffic numbers within the area. As such, the Parking Survey concluded that given the subject area is greatly underutilised, there is no anticipated adverse impact on traffic in the area

 

Submitters also raised concerns that the Traffic Survey provided did not adequately address the existing traffic issues in the area.  The Traffic Survey provided was referred to the City’s Transport and Traffic Services who agreed with the information provided and concurred that the additional traffic generated by the proposed modifications are not likely to impact on the normal flow of traffic on the adjoining and surrounding roads, and can be accommodated within the existing road network. Administration considers the proposal is unlikely to generate any further traffic, given the site can currently be used for boat and trailer parking, albeit the application proposes this to be provided in a more formalised manner through the erection of a fence.

 

Landscaping and Screening of Development

 

Concerns were raised during the advertising period regarding the proposed landscaping not being able to sufficiently screen the proposed parking area and that it will not be sufficiently maintained.

 

As part of the application, a detailed landscape plan was provided which indicates the location of various shrubs and trees to be planted within the site and around the proposed parking area to act as a form of screening. The proposed shrubs and trees are indicated to exceed two metres in height in order to contribute to the amenity of the site and the presentation of the development. This is shown in Attachment 4. Administration considers that the proposed landscaping is acceptable and can adequately screen the parking area and it demonstrates a clear separation between the public car parking area, notwithstanding Administration has requested that some shrubs and trees be replaced with more suitable species.

 

In light of the above, Administration, recommends that a condition is included requesting an updated Landscaping Plan be provided, prior to occupation of the development to address concerns raised by Administration. Administration also recommends a condition enforcing the ongoing maintenance for the overall site.

 

Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas

 

The subject site is identified as being within a bushfire prone area, however, as the proposal does not involve the construction or use of a building, it is exempt from the requirements of Clause 78 of the Deemed Provisions of DPS 2, which includes the provision of a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment. Additionally, Administration considers that the proposal is exempt from requiring a BAL assessment under SPP 3.7 as the subject site is currently used for the parking of vehicles, and the proposal will not result in an intensification of development or land use. This interpretation is consistent with the Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas Planning Bulletin 111/2016, and given this, the proposal is not considered to result in an increased bushfire threat, and is therefore exempt from requiring with the requirements of SPP 3.7. 

 

Conclusion

In light of the above, the proposed Modifications to Car Park (Boat and Trailer Parking) are considered to satisfactorily meet the requirements of DPS 2 and ASP 13. Administration considers that the issues raised during the advertising period can be sufficiently addressed through the imposition of conditions and no further modifications to the proposal are required.

It is therefore recommended that Council approve the proposed development subject to conditions.

Issue

To consider the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) draft Position Statement: Container Deposit Scheme Infrastructure.

Background

A Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) is proposed to be introduced to Western Australia to reduce litter and improve recycling. The CDS is anticipated to commence in early 2020.

 

On 21 December 2018, the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) released the draft Position Statement on their website for consultation, seeking comments by 21 February 2019. Written correspondence was also sent on 21 December 2018, however, this was not received by Administration until early January 2019.

 

The draft Position Statement is provided as Attachment 1. Photographs of different types of infrastructure outlined in the Position Statement are provided in Attachment 2.

Detail

Container Deposit Scheme

 

The CDS will enable people to receive a ten cent refund per eligible empty beverage container. Eligible containers include plastic and glass bottles, paper board cartons, and steel and aluminium cans between 150 millilitres and three litres including:

 

·    Soft drink cans and bottles;

·    Bottled water – both plastic and glass;

·    Small flavoured milk drinks;

·    Beer and cider cans and bottles; and

·    Sports drinks and spirit-based mixed drinks.

 

WAPC Draft Position Statement

 

The draft position statement has been prepared to assist local governments in determining how container deposit scheme infrastructure should be considered and assessed. The draft position statement seeks to:

 

·    Ensure a coordinated approach to the provision of CDS infrastructure throughout WA;

·    Ensure that appropriate locations are chosen for the installation of CDS infrastructure;

·    Ensure the timely roll out of infrastructure to support the establishment of the scheme and ongoing needs; and

·    To establish minimum development requirements to exempt certain CDS infrastructure from requiring planning approval, for adoption by local governments.

 

 

 

The position statement outlines four main types of CDS infrastructure and general planning requirements which are outlined below.

 

Container Collection Cages

 

A container collection cage will generally be used by sporting clubs, schools or not-for-profit organisations and act as a donation point rather than a refund point. The draft Position Statement outlines that collection cages on land owned/managed by the State or a Local Government used in conjunction with these types of bodies could be considered as public works and may be exempt from development approval in some instances. In addition, some collection cages located on privately owned land could also be exempt from development approval. The management of collection cages should be included in any leasing or other operational management arrangements that are in place for these premises.

 

In shop/over-the-counter/bag drop return points

 

These type of facilities will operate in a similar fashion to a shop, just in reverse whereby customers will bring their empty containers in for a refund. Any proposals for this type of CDS infrastructure could be considered under the ‘Shop’ land use definition.

 

The WAPC is proposing to amend the definition of a Shop in the Model Scheme provisions as part of the State planning reform process as follows (proposed additional text is underlined):

 

“Premises other than a bulk goods showroom, a liquor store – large or a liquor store – small used to sell goods by retail, to hire goods, or to provide services of a personal nature, including hairdressing or beauty therapy services, and can include a container deposit scheme return point.”

 

Reverse vending machines

 

Reverse vending machines will come in a range of sizes, including a small scale machine similar to a drink vending machine through to a large scale machine which has container storage behind it that may or may not undertake some form of crushing. Development approval may be required for reverse vending machines dependent on their size and location. Key matters for consideration for local governments relevant to reverse vending machines include impact on amenity, car parking, accessibility and access to adequate waste facilities to cater for goods not accepted by the vending machine and signage.

 

The draft Position Statement considers some types of reverse vending machines could be exempt from development approval.

 

Large scale facilities

 

Large scale facilities include uses such as resource recovery centres, waste storage facilities and other industrial type uses such as Industry-Light and Industry General. Large scale CDS infrastructure may be incorporated into existing operations or new facilities may be established. It is possible that some existing facilities will be able to accept and process containers from the CDS under existing approvals, however, development approval is likely to be required for new or upgraded facilities.

Consultation

The DPLH is seeking comments on the draft Position Statement by 21 February 2019. Due to the tight timeframes in which they have to finalise the position statement, they have requested an interim Administration submission by this date, in advance of Council’s endorsed submission following the March Council Meeting. Administration did not undertake any external consultation on this draft Position Statement.

Comment

The draft Position Statement only relates the planning requirements for CDS infrastructure. As a planning Position Statement, it does not provide any details regarding how the scheme will operate and the impact(s) it will have across the local government. However, it is acknowledged the implementation of the Scheme will impact the City more broadly, particularly across the areas of Waste, Planning and Property Services.

 

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has recently undertaken a process to appoint a Scheme Coordinator who will be responsible for implementing the CDS in Western Australia. At the time of writing this report, DWER were still evaluating responses to this process. It is expected further detail on the Scheme will be available once the Scheme Coordinator is appointed.

 

The draft Position Statement has been prepared by the WAPC to assist local governments in preparing their planning framework ahead of the commencement of the scheme in early 2020. There are a number of questions which Administration has in relation to the operation of the scheme, which will inform its position holistically as an organisation, including:

 

·    How will the introduction of the CDS impact on the City’s recycling services;

·    Can the City receive an income from CDS infrastructure;

·    Potential locations for CDS infrastructure; and

·    Management of infrastructure: collection of recyclable materials, storage of materials, how refunds will be processed.

 

Administration is currently in the process of developing a tender for its new recycling contract to commence on 1 December 2019, which will include a mechanism for the City to share in any revenue generated by the disposal of CDS eligible containers through the City’s recycling service. It is expected there will be a minimum of 11 CDS refund points across the City of Wanneroo based on the customer service standards for collection which were released by DWER in 2018.

 

The City owns and manages a number of properties which are leased by community groups and not-for-profit organisations. It is likely these types of groups may seek the City’s approval to install CDS infrastructure such as a collection cage as a fundraising opportunity. The draft Position Statement outlines such infrastructure may be considered as public works and therefore exempt from requiring development approval in some instances. Administration has some concern over the use of collection cages within reserves as they can be unsightly, may attract vandalism given the contents has a dollar value, and could also attract bees, wasps and other pests due to the nature of the contents. These matters will need to be managed on a case by case basis with each individual lessee to ensure any CDS infrastructure on City owned or managed land is appropriately maintained and does not affect the amenity of the area.

 

Administration will prepare a draft local planning policy to provide guidance on the development approval requirements to potential operators of CDS infrastructure. The policy will address matters such as impact on amenity (noise, odour, visual amenity), parking, access, servicing and exemptions from approval for low impact facilities. The draft policy is intended to be presented to Council in mid to late 2019.

 

Administration supports the objectives of the WAPC draft Position Statement to ensure a coordinated approach to the provision of CDS across Western Australia and establish minimum development requirements to exempt certain infrastructure from development approval through a local planning policy. However, it does consider the release of the draft Position Statement to be premature given a Scheme Coordinator has not yet been appointed and full information on the operation of the Scheme is not yet known.

 

The WAPC is seeking comment on the draft Position Statement by 21 February 2019 which is prior to Council’s consideration of this matter. Administration has provided a preliminary response to the DPLH consistent with the above position on a without prejudice basis, and confirmed it will forward Council’s formal resolution following the Council Meeting on 5 March 2019.

The above risks relating to the issue contained within this report have been identified and considered within the City’s Strategic and Corporate risk registers.

 

Whilst the introduction of a Container Deposit Scheme may provide an opportunity to participate in recycling activities and have a positive effect on the environment (in terms of protection of flora/fauna, reducing litter and increasing recycling rates) as well as the opportunity for the City or community groups to raise funds, there are possible risks associated with it which would need to be managed or mitigated if the City was to participate in such a scheme, such as possible operational challenges for the City (particularly across the areas of Waste, Planning and Property Services).

 Policy Implications

The draft Position Statement includes a model local planning policy to guide local governments in preparing a policy for CDS infrastructure. Administration intends to prepare a local planning policy which will address such matters as impacts on amenity, odour, parking and exemptions which will be presented to Council at a later date.

Issue

To consider the potential impacts on the local road network of the Western Australian Government’s proposed grade separation of Wanneroo Road and Ocean Reef Road.

Background

State Government through MRWA has proposed the construction of $65M grade separation of the Wanneroo Road/ Ocean Reef intersection to allow the free flow of traffic on Wanneroo Road with on and off ramps on Ocean Reef Road controlled by traffic signals.

 

Refer Attachment 1, published by MRWA, it provides the latest update on the project and shows the extents of the proposed works.

 

MRWA awarded the contract to WBHO SRG Joint Venture on Wednesday 30 January 2019, with construction scheduled to commence early 2019 and completed by mid-2020.

 

During the planning of this project, MRWA conducted extensive traffic modelling on Wanneroo Road and Ocean Reef Road, and intersections with the local road network; Archer Street, Villanova Street, Backshall Place, East Road, Scenic Drive, Brady Street, Woodvale Drive, Uppill Place and Buckingham Drive.

Detail

In developing the design for the Wanneroo Road/ Ocean Reef Road grade separated intersection, MRWA conducted extensive traffic modelling using the microsimulation package VISSIM. The computer model simulates the behaviour of vehicles within a defined road network and was used to assess a number of configurations for the grade separation project. Analysis was undertaken using current and projected traffic volumes for 2031.

 

The traffic modelling was used to assess a number of configurations for the interchange in order to determine which of the options would provide the greatest reduction in congestion. The concept designs considered whether Wanneroo Road or Ocean Reef Road should have priority, whether traffic signals or a roundabout should be used at the interchange and where slip lanes could be constructed. The modelling also considered a number of alternate configurations to determine the optimum solution and layout. MRWA commissioned further modelling of the surrounding road network to better understand any potential impacts and how this information would be used to refine the design.

 

The table below shows the 2031 level of service (based on how long vehicles wait at an intersection) at all of the intersections included in the MRWA detailed modelling:

Consultation

State Government through MRWA have proposed to construct a $65M grade separated interchange at the intersection of Wanneroo Road/ Ocean Reef.  MRWA has engaged with the community through a Construction Reference Group (CRG), in addition to corresponding with the property owners within the affected catchments. Both Council and Administration are represented on the CRG.

Comment

Administration has reviewed the traffic modelling information provided by MRWA and requested supplementary information concerning MRWA’s assumptions used to generate the model. This will allow Administration to understand the model parameters and provide a more fully considered response. The modelling currently indicates that the proposed grade separation will have no adverse impact on the majority of the local road intersections, other than those outlined below: 

 

Administration is concerned that the grade separation project may negatively impact the Regent Waters Estate community by changing vehicle movement patterns within the area.

 

There are three access roads into the Estate; Villanova Street, Backshall Place and James Spiers Drive/Scenic Drive, refer Attachment 2 for location map.

 

MRWA proposes to close Villanova Street to right-out traffic and install a U-turn facility on Wanneroo Road, approximately 200m north of Villanova Street as part of the project. This facility will allow vehicles to travel south from Villanova Street, requiring motorists to find an appropriate gap in traffic allowing a turn left into free flowing northbound traffic on Wanneroo Road, weave into the right lane and U-turn pocket while decelerating before finding a gap in southbound traffic on Wanneroo Road. The City considers that this manoeuver will be difficult for some motorists to complete, especially during peak times.

 

In addition this, the proposed U-turn is limited to vehicles up to 8.8m in length, due to the limited median width available. Heavy vehicles would therefore not be able to utilise this U-turn facility and would need to find an alternate route to turn south on to Wanneroo Road.

 


 

The modelling submitted by MRWA assumes that a proportion of the vehicles have been reassigned to travel through Regent Waters Estate and exit at Scenic Drive and Backshall Place. This is will be particularly prevalent if heavy vehicles are unable to use the proposed U-turn facility need to navigate through narrow 6m wide local access street to access the Scenic Drive/Wanneroo Road intersection. It is also noted that future growth in traffic volumes on Wanneroo Road may make the right turn into Villanova Street difficult due to limited gaps in traffic. This is especially true for heavy vehicles that accelerate more slowly and require larger gaps in traffic to turn safely.

 

Although Villanova Street shows significant improvement in Level of Service in the MRWA traffic modelling, it should be noted that this is in part due to vehicles no longer be permitted to turn right out on to Wanneroo Road which would significantly reduce the expected delays at the intersection. These changes may also have a significant impact on access to the existing commercial business in the area. Furthermore, there may also be a significant number of vehicles that choose to use another route to turn onto Wanneroo Road, such as Scenic Drive via the local road network.

 

In addition to the issues caused by the removal of the right turn from Villanova Street onto Wanneroo Road, the traffic modelling conducted by MRWA also shows that Backshall Place will operate at a Level of Service “F”. Although the traffic modelling shows that there will be some reduction in delays as a result of the grade separation project, there is still expected to be some significant queuing, especially during the morning peak.

 

In addition to these traffic issues, Administration would like to see improved pedestrian and cyclist facilities delivered as part of this project. Preliminary designs show a shared path located on the southern side of Ocean Reef Road with a grade separated crossing under Wanneroo Road but no indication how pedestrians and cyclists will safely cross Ocean Reef Road.

 

It is noted that Wanneroo Road is under the care and control of MRWA. As recently advised by MRWA, the care and control of Ocean Reef Road is now proposed to transfer to MRWA in the coming months, subject to appropriate budget allocations by the State Government. Therefore, the responsibility to address the concerns raised in this report will rest with MRWA. Notwithstanding the proposed transfer of road management responsibility to MRWA, this would be the opportune time to address the communities concerns and identified technical issues as part of the grade separation project.

 

Administration will continue to work with MRWA project team to highlight the City’s concerns regarding the grade separation of Ocean Reef Road and Wanneroo Road and the potential impacts this project will have on the City’s road network. It is therefore proposed to formally write to the State Government to:

 

a)   Highlight the Community and the City’s concerns and seek further discussions between all parties to improve outcomes for the local community; and

b)   To consider and address these concerns as part of the project design development and include the resulting works in this project.

Financial Implications

As noted in this report, any works required to address the concerns associated with Villanova Street and Backshall Place intersections will be the responsibility of MRWA. Therefore there is no immediate financial implication for the City for such works. However, in future post the construction of the grade separation, should the traffic patterns change and adversely impact the local roads in Regents Estate, the City would need to assess the impact, develop and deploy an appropriate mitigation strategy.

2.       NOTES the traffic modelling information provided by Main Roads WA for this project and the potential impact of the grade separation project on local roads; and

3.       REQUESTS the Mayor to write to the Minister for Transport and Planning to require Main Roads WA to:

a)    Consider and address the concerns raised by the Community and the City regarding the potential impact of the proposed grade separated interchange at Wanneroo Road/Ocean Reef Road on the local roads and intersections; and

b)    Communicate more frequently with the local community to address their concerns relating to the grade separation project at Wanneroo Road/Ocean Reef Road.

Issue

To provide an update on alternative access arrangements for the proposed sand mine and on Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) speed limit review within the Mariginiup area. Refer to Attachment 1 for the location map.

Background

At the 29 May 2018 Ordinary Council Meeting, petition PT04-05/18, with 151 signatures of Mariginiup residents, was received. The petition requested that the City designate Meadowlands Drive as a Local Road Only with no logging or mining truck access to Silver Road allowed. In response to that petition, Council considered a report, refer Item No AS01-08/18, at the 21 August 2018 meeting. This report considered the petitioners request and sought Council’s approval for the installation of advisory ‘Local Traffic Only’ signage on Meadowlands Drive and Via Vista Drive, and endorsement of a request to MRWA for review the speed limit on these roads. Following discussions, Council resolved for the matter to be referred back to Administration for further investigation.

Administration subsequently requested MRWA to review of the speed limit along these roads and the outcome of the speed limit review was considered by Council at its meeting on 16 October 2018, refer Item No AS01-10/18; Council resolved:

“1.   REQUESTS Main Roads WA to consult with the residents of Meadowlands and Via Vista Drives within the next two weeks to consider reducing the speed limit to 50km/h; and

2.    REQUESTS Administration advise the property owners and residents of Mariginiup of its decision.”

Administration subsequently arranged a meeting with Mariginiup residents and MRWA regarding speed zoning. During this meeting residents raised the issue of dust management in the vicinity of the proposed sand mine and access along Silver Road. In response to this matter, Administration arranged a further meeting between residents and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) to discuss how DBCA will manage the continuing dust problem. In addition, Administration again requested that MRWA conduct a further speed limit review to reduce the speed on these roads to 50 km/h and consult with the local community regarding the proposed speed limit change.

Detail

The Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) granted approval to Urban Resources for sand mining activities in the Mariginiup State Forest in 2017 as the proposed sand mine will be situated on crown land under the control of the DBCA and is in close proximity to a rural-residential area in Mariginiup which is zoned ‘Special Rural’ under the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2.

 

The initial application to DMIRS proposed that the sand mine would be accessed via the local roads in this rural-residential area; particularly Meadowlands Drive and Silver Road. Urban Resources previously reported that the average number of loaded trucks would be 150 per day from the Mariginiup Sand Quarry, however would vary depending on sales. In addition to the transportation of sand, it is expected that the mine will increase the local traffic due to employee travel and delivery of equipment and consumables to site.

The DMIRS approvals process did not require community engagement be undertaken regarding the proposed sand mine. Following advice from Administration, the Peritas Group sent a letter dated 11 January 2018, to local residents on behalf of Urban Resources, informing them of the proposed sand mine. In response, residents raised concerns with Elected Members and Administration regarding potential amenity impacts from the sand mine; particularly from traffic on local roads.

One of the issues raised by residents was the increase in traffic on local access roads as a result of heavy vehicles accessing the proposed sand mine. The proposed mining operation was based on the use of General Access Vehicles to haul product from the site. General Access Vehicles, up to 19m in length, are legally permitted to access any public road in Western Australia and the City has no feasible mechanism by which to prevent access to the Urban Resources site.

It is noted that Urban Resources has responded to the community’s concerns and is in the advanced stage of providing an alternative access to the site located on Neaves Road, approximately 900m east of the existing Mariginiup Special Rural Area. This access would address the concerns of residents as haulage vehicles would be able to access the site without using the local road network.

Urban Resources provided an update to local residents, Administration and Elected Members on 10 January 2019, advising that it had obtained all the various approvals from the relevant government agencies to construct the alternative access into the sand mine and intended to commence the sand mining operations in the near future.

Urban Resources has also indicated that an application will be made to the City to use Silver Road and Meadowlands Drive in the short term to enable the delivery of equipment and materials required for the construction of the alternative access road. Administration has liaised with Urban Resources and advised it will be required to submit a detailed traffic management plan outlining the extent of any works, quantity of material being transported, vehicle types being used, timing and proposed duration of works, including details of mitigation measures for noise and dust control.

With respect to dust management issues raised by the community, DBCA appointed an external consultant to undertake the assessment and develop an action plan to minimise the creation of dust on the Silver Road that impacts the neighbouring properties. The consultant recommended for short and long-term plans to improve the safety and appropriate dust management for this area. It is expected that the proposed dust management plan actions will help ameliorate the potential dust issues.

At this stage the City is unclear whether Urban Resources or DBCA will be undertaking upgrade works to Silver Road. It is understood that Urban Resources is collaborating with DBCA to determine the best way forward. Notwithstanding, which party initiates the work the City will require detail on any proposed modifications to infrastructure within the road reserve and the proponent will need to submit a detailed traffic management plan outlining the extent of any works, quantity of material being transported, vehicle types being used, timing and proposed duration of works including details of mitigation measures for noise and dust control.

Consultation

Administration has consulted extensively with the residents of Meadowlands Drive and Via Vista Drive, DBCA, DMIRS and MRWA to address the ongoing concerns. This included organising a onsite meeting with the local residents on 5 December 2018 to determine the opinion of the community regarding changes to the speed limit. A representative from MRWA Speed Zoning Team was invited to attend this meeting, however this invitation was declined.

Comment

Now that approvals have been received, Urban Resources is close to commencing construction of the alternative access to the proposed sand mine on Neaves Road. Although there may be some additional traffic on the local road network during construction, these will be managed through appropriate traffic management plans, and noise and dust mitigation measures.

Dust management issues on Silver Road are also being addressed by the DBCA with both a short and long term management plan being prepared by an external consultant.

With respect to the proposed speed limit changes in the Mariginiup area, Administration and the community have requested a 50 km/h speed limit; however this option was not supported by MRWA.

MRWA has proposed a speed limit reduction to 70 km/h as being more appropriate for the area, rather than the current 110 km/h speed limit. As per the discussions held, residents are agreeable to the 70km/h speed limit as proposed by MRWA. In view these discussions and the position taken by MRWA, Administration recommends that Council endorse the reduction of speed limit to 70 km/h within Mariginiup for the area shown in Attachment 2.

Issue

To consider an update on the establishment of a working group with Kingsway Christian College, Ashdale Secondary College and Ashdale Primary School to review traffic congestion.

Background

Council, at its meeting on 6 March 2018 considered a Item No AS01-03/18 responding to Petition PT02-08/17 from parents of students attending Kingsway Christian College regarding retention of the median opening for ease of access from the school on Carripan Road. In response, Council resolved in part as follows;

 

“That Council:

 

6.   REQUESTS Administration establish a working group with representatives from Kingsway Christian College, Ashdale Secondary College and Ashdale Primary School to review traffic congestion and report back to Council with findings and recommendations from the group within 12 months; and”

Detail

In accordance with Council’ decision, Administration contacted representatives from Kingsway Christian College, Ashdale Secondary College and Ashdale Primary School to arrange an on-site meeting at one of the schools. City officers and school representatives subsequently met on Wednesday 5 September 2018 at Kingsway Christian College. At the meeting, school representatives advised that an established working group was already in place between the three schools and had been for some time. City officers were further advised that the existing working group focussed on addressing on-site and on-road parking around the schools and were already initiating positive strategies to help reduce traffic congestion on the road network at school start and finish times.

 

On the basis that working group was already in pleace, City officers took the opportunity to discuss the traffic management scheme upgrade works occurring along Kingsway between Hartman Drive and Ashdale Boulevard and advised of upcoming improvement works to line marking on-street bays adjacent to Ashdale Secondary College.

 

Administration has continued to liaise with the schools to reduce traffic congestion around the schools.

 

The working group representatives thanked the City for its involvement to date and advised they would contact the City should they require any further assistance.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

Kingsway Christian College, Ashdale Secondary College and Ashdale Primary School have indicated that they are satisfied that the existing working group is having a positive impact on parking and traffic congestion. The schools do not consider that the creation of a new working group would be beneficial and would prefer to continue with the existing working group meetings with support from the City should any new issues or initiatives as they arise.

Financial and Performance Risk

Financial Risk

A financial risk assessment was undertaken as part of the tender evaluation process and the outcome of this independent assessment by Corporate Scorecard Pty Ltd advised that RJ Vincent has been assessed with an acceptable financial capacity to meet the requirements of the contract and no additional risk mitigation actions are required outside of the need for a contractor to provide security as per the tender documents. It should be noted that RJ Vincent has provided a tender submission for Tender 18260 Marmion Avenue Duplication, therefore the assessment also considered the possibility of RJ Vincent being awarded both Tenders 18260 and 18246.

As per tender requirements, RJ Vincent is required to provide two bank guarantees/retention with a combined total of 7.5% of the contract value, for practical completion and for the defects liability period within 14 days after acceptance of tender or five days prior to possession of site, whichever is the latest.

Performance Risk

Over the past five years, RJ Vincent has successfully completed a number of major road duplications for the City of Wanneroo; Connolly Drive, Neerabup Road, Mirrabooka Avenue, Lenore Road and Marmion Avenue. RJ Vincent is also currently constructing the 1.2km section of Marmion Avenue adjacent to Alkimos Vista with works programed to finish by end of March 2019. RJ Vincent has a good appreciation of the City’s requirements.

 

Independent reference checks have also indicated that the recommended tenderer has provided good service and delivery to its customers, including the projects mentioned above for the City.

Operational Risk

Operational risk and mitigation will be addressed through the risk assessment process of the project management framework.

 

Prior to the commencement works, the appointed contractor will be inducted to the project site. Ongoing auditing of the contractor’s work practices during the course of the works will be undertaken to ensure compliance with the OHS requirements.

 

Social and Environmental (Sustainable Procurement) Considerations

RJ Vincent provided a number of responses to the Social and Environmental Considerations under Schedule 3B of the tender.

 

RJ Vincent informed that it will be implementing an Access and Inclusion Plan (AIP) to maintain pedestrian access at all times, ensuring that the deviations from the current paths are wheelchair, mobility scooter, and vision impairment friendly. When works require the use of active traffic management, the traffic controllers will be in place to assist members of the community when crossing roads and locations within the vicinity of the works area.

 

RJ Vincent has a Workplace Diversity Program directed at preventing employment-related disadvantages in the company on the basis of disability, gender, race or ethnicity, being an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander or being a member of a group identified as having an employment related disadvantage.

Broader Economic Impact Implications for the City of Wanneroo

RJ Vincent intends to employ locally based sub-contractors.

 

Seventy-nine of RJ Vincent current employees live locally, with many of nominated road crews living in close proximity to the site and potentially be available for call-out should the need arise for after-hours care.

Policy Implications

Tenderers were invited in accordance with the requirements of the City’s Purchasing Policy.

Financial Implications

Issue

To consider Tender No. 18260 for the Construction of Marmion Avenue Duplication from Camborne Parkway to Yanchep Beach Road.

Background

The State Government allocated $23M to the City, through Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA), for the construction of the remaining 11.4km section of Marmion Avenue as a four-lane dual carriageway from Camborne Parkway to Yanchep. Council resolved to accept the funds from State Government at its meeting on 22 August 2017.

 

The City is currently in the process of constructing the Stage 1 portion of Marmion Avenue, approximately 1.2km, adjacent to Alkimos Vista Estate. The works are being undertaken in collaboration with Lendlease under a Deed of Agreement with the City and scheduled to be completed by the end of March 2019. These works are consistent with the Council’s resolution for Item No CR01-07/18 - Marmion Avenue Duplication.

 

The remaining sections of Marmion Avenue duplication works consist of 2.2km from Camborne Parkway to southern boundary of Alkimos Vista and 8km from northern boundary of Alkimos Vista to Yanchep Beach Road. The works include upgrading of Marmion Avenue to a four lane dual carriageway with on-road sealed shoulder, central median and a shared path network, along with the modifications of the existing intersections as identified through the City’s Structure Plan process and detailed design. 

 

Administration has continued to work collaboratively with a number of land developers, Public Transport Authority (PTA) and MRWA to include several new ‘T’ intersections and controlled four way intersections to accommodate future land subdivisions. The current scope of work for the project also makes provision for traffic as result of MetroNet Rail Network requirements and intersection modifications required as a result of the Mitchell Freeway terminating at Romeo Road in the short to medium term. Provision has been made within the City’s tender to allow the works to be implemented as part of the overarching Marmion Avenue Duplication project.

 

Administration has initiated preliminary discussions with the relevant State Government agencies and developers to clarify their responsibilities and potential cost recoveries for the additional scope within the above tender award. 

 

Details on intersection treatments: 

 

·    Graceful Boulevard/Romeo Road – subsequent to formal advice from MRWA, the existing roundabout will be removed and replaced with traffic signals. The size and configuration of the intersection will be designed for the future extension of the Mitchell Freeway to Romeo Road. The City will construct the intersection in its interim configuration as a 3-Way signalised intersection allowing for the future connection of Romeo Road with minimal modifications or redundant works.

 

·    Pectoral Promenade/Brindabella Parkway – the existing ‘T’ intersection will be modified to suit the duplication works. The size and configuration of the intersection will be designed to function as the future main access to the MetroNet Rail Network at Alkimos. The City will construct the Brindabella Parkway/Marmion Avenue intersection to its interim configuration to allow PTA/Landcorp to connect to Marmion Avenue with minimal modifications or redundant works. Until such time as Brindabella Parkway is constructed this intersection will operate as a full movement ‘T’ intersection with turn pockets.

 

·    Cinnabar Road/Gull Grange Road – the existing ‘T’ intersection will be replaced with a dual lane roundabout as per the approved structure plans. This roundabout will have a fourth leg heading east to service the future Eglinton Estate.

 

·    Eglinton Drive – a new dual lane roundabout will be constructed approximately 500m north of Cinnabar Drive as per the approved structure plans. This roundabout will form the main intersection for the east bound road to connect with the future Metronet Rail Station at Eglinton. The City will construct the roundabout to its ultimate configuration to allow for future connection with minimal modifications or redundant works.

Detail

Tender No. 18260 for the Construction of Marmion Avenue Duplication of the remaining 10.2km section was advertised on 17 November 2018 and closed on Tuesday 22 January 2019. A non-mandatory briefing session was held on Wednesday the 28 November 2018, which was attended by all tenderers.

The City has corresponded with both tenderers to confirm any impact should the City implement a hold point within the award of tender delaying the start date of separable portion 2, being the 2.2km section from Camborne Parkway to Alkimos Vista. This hold point is required due to ongoing delays with MRWA confirmation of its approval for the intersection design treatments at Romeo Road and Brindabella Parkway. Both tenderers have confirmed that this would not alter tender submissions.

No comments or submissions were received following the public notification. It should be noted that the property owners located within this section of Marmion Avenue are land developers.

 

The City also held two community information sessions regarding the proposed works for the Marmion Avenue duplication. These sessions were held on the 26 November 2018 at the Yanchep Two Rocks Residents Association meeting and the 28 November 2018 at the Alkimos pop up library. Both information sessions provided the community with an overview of the works required and the nature of the project.

 

The City has also liaised with the Shorehaven Residents Group to provide information on the design of the Shorehaven Drive, Marmion Avenue intersection to address the concerns raised with the current intersection. The City has confirmed that an acceleration lane will be constructed at the intersection of Shorehaven Drive and Marmion Avenue as part of the duplication works. The City is also working closely with utility providers to protect existing infrastructure or make provision for future requirements within the road reserve.

 

Throughout the design and tender phase of the project the City has worked collaboratively with key stakeholders to identify any service impacts and provide for future intersection modifications required as a result of land development activities or works proposed works by Utility Providers and State Government agencies such as Metronet.

 

The State Government has been kept informed of the project progress throughout its various phases. 

 

Post Tender & Construction Phase

 

A detailed communication plan will be implemented covering project signage, an ongoing commitment to provide regular progress reports on key project milestones or events; posting of information on City’s webpage and media channels in addition liaising with the residents groups to inform them of the construction programme. 

 

The original construction program was predicated on all the necessary approvals being in place prior to the award of tender for completion by December 2019. The City has been working closely with MRWA to finalise their additional traffic modelling requirements prior to their endorsement of the above mentioned intersection treatments, this has resulted in the planned completion date for the civil works now being adjusted to March 2020 to accommodate the delays in the process.   

Statutory Compliance

Tenders were invited in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.57 of the Local Government Act 1995. The tendering procedures and evaluation complied with the requirements of Part 4 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027:

Financial and Performance Risk

Financial Risk

A financial risk assessment was undertaken as part of the tender evaluation process and the outcome of this independent assessment by Corporate Scorecard Pty Ltd advised that RJ Vincent has been assessed with an acceptable financial capacity to meet the requirements of the contract and no additional risk mitigation actions are required outside of the need for a contractor to provide security as per the tender documents. It should be noted that RJ Vincent has provided a tender submission for Tender 18246 Pinjar Road Duplication, therefore the assessment also considered the possibility of RJ Vincent being awarded both Tenders 18260 and 18246.

As per tender requirements, RJ Vincent is required to provide two bank guarantees/retention with a combined total of 7.5% of the contract value, for practical completion and for the defects liability period within 14 days after acceptance of tender or five days prior to possession of site, whichever is the latest.

Performance Risk

Over the past five years, RJ Vincent has successfully completed a number of major road duplications for the City of Wanneroo; Connolly Drive, Neerabup Road, Mirrabooka Avenue, Lenore Road and Marmion Avenue. RJ Vincent is also currently constructing the 1.2km section of Marmion Avenue adjacent to Alkimos Vista with works programed to finish by end of March 2019. RJ Vincent has a good appreciation of the City’s requirements.

 

Independent reference checks have also indicated that the recommended tenderer has provided good service and delivery to its customers, including the projects mentioned above for the City.

Operational Risk

Operational risk and mitigation will be addressed through the risk assessment process of the project management framework.

 

Prior to the commencement works, the appointed contractor will be inducted to the project site. Ongoing auditing of the contractor’s work practices during the course of the works will be undertaken to ensure compliance with the OHS requirements.

 

Social and Environmental (Sustainable Procurement) Considerations

RJ Vincent provided a number of responses to the Social and Environmental Considerations under Schedule 3B of the tender.

 

RJ Vincent informed that it will be implementing an Access and Inclusion Plan to maintain pedestrian access at all times, ensuring that the deviations from the current paths are wheelchair, mobility scooter, and vision impairment friendly. When works require the use of active traffic management, the traffic controllers will be in place to assist members of the community when crossing roads and locations within the vicinity of the works area.

 

The majority of these sections of Marmion Avenue do not currently have existing shared paths. RJ Vincent has noted in its tender submission that it intends to ensure that the existing Marmion Avenue carriageway is left mostly unaffected during construction to provide access to the adjacent development for public transport and builders as necessary.

 

RJ Vincent has a Workplace Diversity Program directed at preventing employment-related disadvantages in the company on the basis of disability, gender, race or ethnicity, being an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander or being a member of a group identified as having an employment related disadvantage.

Broader Economic Impact Implications for the City of Wanneroo

RJ Vincent intends to employ locally based sub-contractors.

 

Seventy-nine of RJ Vincent current employees live locally, with many of nominated road crews living in close proximity to the site and potentially be available for call-out should the need arise for after-hours care.

Policy Implications

Tenders were invited in accordance with the requirements of the City’s Purchasing Policy.

Financial Implications

The contract cost of both separable portions includes the construction cost of a number of new or modified intersections to facilitate future land developments and MetroNet requirements as outlined in the approved Structure Plans. The adjoining land developers have agreed in principle to fund their portion of works included in this tender. Commencement of the work by the City will be subject to the City and developers entering a suitable Deed of Agreement (DoA).

The reimbursement of cost will be calculated using the unit rates within RJ Vincent’s tender submission. The current estimate of reimbursement is in the order of $1.5M. The final amounts will be calculated in consultation with the developers and a report provided to the CEO for approval as per the following Council resolution:

“That Council:-

          AUTHORISES the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and enter into contractual arrangements with developers and landowners to receive contributions to construct sections of the proposed dual-carriageway for Marmion Avenue subject to the criteria outlined in this report;”

It is noted that the works for the Separable Portion 2 will only commence after the receipt of formal approval and agreement by MRWA to the intersection treatments.

Issue

To consider Tender No 18211 for the Provision of Maintenance Services for Beach Access Ways with in the City of Wanneroo for a period of one year with a one year option to extend.

Background

There are 36 formal beach access ways totalling approximately 4km in the City of Wanneroo that require ongoing maintenance. Beach access ways comprise a mixture of hardstand paths (limestone, concrete, bitumen, boardwalks) and sand paths.

Over the next 5 to 10 years it is anticipated that up to another 15 beach access ways will be handed over to the City by developers for ongoing maintenance.  Maintenance of these areas in the past has been on an as required basis carried out by in house staff, consisting of general weed and litter removal, fence repairs, vegetation pruning and sand replenishment/relocation.  The type and form of beach access tracks has changed in recent years to include fencing, erosion control and other more specialised infrastructure.

 

Due to the increase in profile and volume of work involved with maintaining beach access ways, particularly throughout the summer period, a more robust maintenance regime is required in these areas to ensure the ongoing safety of the public and ensure that these assets are maintained to the required standard. These works include weed control, vegetation clearance, litter collection and monitoring/reporting of fence lines. The outsourcing of these works will allow the existing in house maintenance team to focus on the maintenance of other conservation reserves in the City in alignment with the Agreed Service Levels.

A Public Tender was developed to provide the City with the specialised services required for the ongoing maintenance of beach access ways.

Detail

Tender No. 18211 for the Provision of Maintenance Services for Beach Access Ways was advertised on Saturday 27 October 2018 and closed on Tuesday 13 November 2018.

Overall Comment

Though Environmental Industries and Prestige Property provided a lower tender price submissions than Natural Area Holdings Pty Ltd, the qualitative criteria assessment clearly indicated that Natural Area Holdings Pty Ltd’s tender submission provides an overall better outcome for the City. Environmental Industries and Prestige Property’s tender submission scores didn’t meet the City’s requirements. Natural Area Holdings Pty Ltd has substantial experience working in the natural environment and provided a detailed methodology that highlighted their experience in this type of service. In consideration of all these attributes, Natural Area Holdings Pty Ltd is positioned to afford the City the best value for money. Natural Area Holdings Pty Ltd is therefore recommended as the successful tenderer.

Relevant Stakeholder Consultation

Nil

 

Statutory Compliance

Tenders were invited in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.57 of the Local Government Act 1995. The tendering procedures and evaluation complied with the requirements of Part 4 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996.

Enterprise Risk Management Considerations

The condition of the City’s beach access ways can deteriorate if not maintained to an acceptable level and can quickly lose aesthetics and accessibility if overgrown with vegetation, weeds or rubbish.

The inability of a contractor to supply these services will have several impacts:

·    The City not providing the required standard of service to its ratepayers;

·    Inappropriate use of pesticides, leading to off-target damage to vegetation in conservation reserves; and

·    Rubbish and other materials accumulating in conservation reserves, beaches and the ocean.

 

It is imperative that the successful Tenderer has the required experience, staff, equipment and financial capacity to meet the contract requirements.

Social and Environmental (Sustainable Procurement) Considerations

In accordance with section 19 of the City’s Purchasing Policy the tender document included social and environmental considerations as non-weighted criteria. Natural Area Holdings Pty Ltd has developed an overall sustainability strategy which incorporates both the environmental policy and social accountability policy.

Broader Economic Impact Implications for the City of Wanneroo

The tender document included broader economic impact implications as a non-weighted criterion through the use of a “Buy Local” questionnaire. Natural Area Holdings Pty Ltd response advises that they have 14 employees that live locally.

Purchasing Policy Implications

Tenders were invited in accordance with the requirements of the City’s Purchasing Policy.

Financial and Performance Risk

Financial Risk

A financial risk assessment was undertaken as part of the tender evaluation process and the outcome of this independent assessment by Corporate Scorecard Pty Ltd advised that Natural Area Holdings Pty Ltd has been assessed with a ‘strong’ financial capacity to meet the requirements of the contract.

Performance Risk

Independent reference checks have been undertaken as part of the tender evaluation process for Tender No. 18211. As these reference checks indicated that the recommended tenderer has the capability to meet the requirements of the contract, those checks have been utilised.

Financial (Budget) Implications

The costs associated with the Provision of Maintenance Services for Beach Access Ways are included in the 2018/19 (and future years) Operational Budget. The value of work over the initial 1 year term of the contract is a fixed annual price of $88,557.00. The tender includes the option for one renewal for an additional 12 months.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027:

 “3     Environment (Natural)

3.2    Enhanced Environment

3.2.1  Maximise the environmental value of beaches nature reserves and parklands

Previous Items:                                   CP01-08/18 - Library Operational Hours - Sundays - Ordinary Council - 21 Aug 2018 7.00pm      

 

Issue

To consider the hours when the City’s libraries and the Wanneroo Library and Cultural Centre (WLCC) are accessible to the community.

Background

The City of Wanneroo Libraries are open normal business hours (9.00am – 5.30pm) five days per week. Two larger libraries (WLCC and Clarkson) are open all day Saturday (9.00am – 5.00pm) and Thursday evenings until 8.00pm. The two smaller libraries open Saturday mornings, Girrawheen (9.00am – 12.00pm) and Two Rocks (9.00am – 1.00pm), with Girrawheen also open Tuesday evening until 8.00pm.

 

Following Council approval (CP01-08/18) in August 2018, a six month trial is currently underway with the Wanneroo Library open from 11.00am to 3.00pm on Sundays until 31 March 2019.

 

It is contemporary practice for larger and in some cases smaller metropolitan Local Governments to open a library on a Sunday, enabling greater customer focus and community accessibility outside of a standard working week.

 

Detail

 

The following information is provided to inform decisions on whether the trial of Sunday openings at Wanneroo Library should continue and consider any other changes to operating hours across City libraries and the WLCC:

 

·        Visitation levels on Sundays and other opening and closing periods during the week;

·        Community access review for other facilities within the WLCC;

·        Community consultation, with a focus on evening hours, Saturdays and Sundays;

·        Industrial implications; and

·        Budget implications.

 

Visitation

 

The tables below indicate the average hourly attendance statistics across the City’s four Libraries applicable to the final two hours of Saturday operations and weeknight operations during October and November 2018:

Based on the statistics:

 

·        Evening patronage at Wanneroo and Girrawheen is minimal and the value of opening these libraries on their respective evenings is questionable;

·        The final two hours of Saturday at Wanneroo, Clarkson and Girrawheen libraries are well patronised; and

·        The final two hours at Two Rocks on Saturdays is minimal, however the local community does not have the option of a weeknight opening.

 

The table below indicates the average hourly statistics at Wanneroo for the Sunday trial, over the same period.

Based on the Sunday trial, the spread of visitation across the four hours is fairly even and not dissimilar to that of the final hours of Saturday operations at Wanneroo and Clarkson libraries.

 

Community Access Review: Other Facilities within the WLCC

 

As per request from Council, other facilities within the Wanneroo Library and Community Centre (WLCC), specifically the Art Gallery and Museum, were investigated for opening on Sunday.

 

Currently the Museum is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday (10.00am – 4.00pm), Thursdays (10.00am – 5.00pm) and Saturdays (12.00pm – 4.00pm).

 

Opening the Museum on Sunday will provide improved access for the community on weekends when it is likely to be convenient for individuals and families to visit cultural facilities such as Museums.

 

In addition to trialling the Sunday opening of the Museum, it is proposed that the Museum closes at 4.00pm on Thursdays for consistency throughout the week, given that visitation for 2017/18 averaged two people each week during the 4.00pm to 5.00pm period.

 

The Art Gallery opens intermittently based on the exhibition calendar of bookings, so it is not considered viable to consistently open the gallery on Sundays.

 

Industrial Implications

 

The current Salaried Officers Enterprise Agreement 2016 does not provide a provision for ordinary hours to be worked on Sundays. Through current negotiations, the City will seek to change this to allow ordinary hours to be worked on Sundays (applicable penalty rates to still apply). It is noted the trial was undertaken on a voluntary opt-in basis.  Any additional trial of expanded opening hours will continue on a volunteer basis.

Budget Implications

 

It is acknowledged that expanded hours for the City’s Libraries and Museum will have a budgetary impact.  Some of the impact can be absorbed by changes in rostering (i.e. based on proposals to reduce some opening hours at particular times), with the balance being addressed through reallocation of resources within the existing salaries budget.

Consultation

Community consultation was undertaken in the initial months of the Sunday trial focusing on preferred visiting times; willingness to visit a library on a Sunday; and distances patrons are willing to travel to a library on Sundays. The consultation mediums utilised were as follows:

 

·        Online Survey open to all residents (1,033)

·        Jar Polls at each Library (1,275)

·        Site Survey – WLCC (83)

 

Some of the key findings from the consultation included:

 

·        Visiting a library on a Sunday

o   Online survey suggested 81% either ‘would’ or ‘might’ visit a library on a Sunday

o   100% of those surveyed on site at the Wanneroo Library on Sunday indicated they would return.

·        How far would you be willing to travel to a library on a Sunday?

o   Jar poll results indicated that the highest percentage is willing to travel 10-20 minutes (30%) with 0-10 minutes the next popular (27%)

o   In contrast, the online survey suggested 0-10 minutes (44%) is the most popular, closely followed by 10-20 minutes (40%)

·        Preferred visiting times, based on multiple choice options across the surveys indicated that Monday-Friday (40%) was preferred.

 

In consideration to the above key findings, the trial opening of one City library on Sundays was welcomed. Additionally, the majority of consultation feedback indicates a willingness to travel up to 20 minutes to a library on a Sunday.

 

Consultation has occurred with relevant staff in preparation for negotiation of a new Salaried Officers Enterprise Agreement.

Comment

Attendance statistics indicate a need to maintain Saturday operational hours at City libraries and potentially expand Girrawheen Saturday hours to align with Two Rocks’ closure at 1.00pm. Evening attendance at the Girrawheen Library is minimal and therefore an earlier closure time on Tuesdays is recommended.  The impact of this can be mitigated to some extent by having the Girrawheen Library remain open until 1.00pm on Saturdays when there is greater community demand.

 

Community consultation undertaken during the Sunday trial at the WLCC confirms a need to maintain the opening of at least one City library on Sundays, with attendance similar to the final hours on Saturday providing further endorsement.

 

Although contrasting feedback, the prospect of travelling up to 20 minutes to a library on a Sunday might be considered a reasonable expectation. Residents of the suburbs of Pinjar, Carabooda, Alkimos, Eglinton, Yanchep and Two Rocks currently need to travel 20-35 minutes.

 

Should the City consider opening an additional library on a Sunday to address the community feedback, Clarkson Library would be the most suitable given its location. Consideration to opening the Clarkson Library on a Sunday will provide opportunity to have the same opening hours for the larger libraries of Clarkson and Wanneroo and the smaller libraries of Two Rocks and Girrawheen.  This could be trialled for a period of time, as occurred with the Wanneroo Library, to gain community feedback on the expanded opening hours.

 

Contemporary technological trends such as the ‘24/7’ or ‘after hours’ library model, currently seen in Europe and USA allows community facilities to be operated by swipe card access outside of normal hours. This is worthy of consideration in the future, particularly in the context of new cultural facility developments or refurbishments. Developments in technology will continue to be monitored over the coming years to determine if this is a model that could be implemented at the City of Wanneroo cultural facilities in the future.

 

The Museum located within the WLCC could also be opened in alignment to the Wanneroo Library Sunday opening. Service reviews of the Art Gallery, Museum, Cockman House and Buckingham House in 2019 will provide further opportunity to review opening hours and resourcing across all cultural facilities for 2020 and beyond.  As such it is recommended that the expanded community access hours for the Museum be trialled for a 12 month period.

 

Should support be provided to trial the opening of cultural facilities on Sundays, in addition to the WLCC, a communication plan will be developed to maximise community awareness and ensure an effective implementation of changes from 1 July 2019.

Financial Implications

There will be minimal increases in facility operational costs for the 2019/20 budget, should the Museum and Wanneroo and Clarkson Libraries operate on Sundays.

 

It is acknowledged that expanded hours for the City’s Libraries and Museum will have a budgetary impact.  Some of the impact can be absorbed by changes in rostering (i.e. based on proposals to reduce some opening hours at particular times), with the balance being addressed through reallocation of resources within the existing salaries budget.

Issue

To consider a Progress Report for the North Coast Regional Aquatic and Recreation Centre Needs and Feasibility Study (the Study).

Background

The commencement of the Study is as a result of consideration of a Motion on Notice at its meeting held on 6 February 2018, in which Council resolved the following:

 

“1.     APPROVES the inclusion an Indoor Aquatic and Recreation Centre development for the Alkimos/Yanchep corridor in the City’s Advocacy Strategy, with a view to bringing forward the proposed timeframe from 2042-2046, as currently listed in the Northern Coastal Growth Corridor Community Facilities Plan (2011);

 

2.       APPROVES the Mayor to write to relevant State and Federal Government Ministers to highlight the need and seek support (including funding support) for:

a)      The early provision of an Indoor Aquatic and Recreation Centre in the Alkimos/Yanchep corridor; and

b)      Undertaking investigation of opportunities for the City to work with the education sector (and potentially other parties) to facilitate shared use of aquatic facilities planned for the northern coastal growth corridor in the future.”

 

Subsequent to this resolution, an action was included in the 2018/19 Corporate Business Plan to “undertake a needs and feasibility assessment in relation to a recreational aquatic facility within the Alkimos/Yanchep growth corridor (this will include a cost benefit impact on the City’s Aquamotion facility”.

 

As a result, the scope of the Study has been developed in two parts as outlined below:

 

Regional Aquatic and Recreation Facility in the Alkimos / Yanchep Corridor

 

1.       To confirm the need and feasibility for the early provision of the proposed Regional Aquatic and Recreation facility (the Facility) in the Alkimos / Yanchep corridor (current delivery timeframe of 2042 – 2046);

2.       Confirm location and staging options, taking into consideration the early delivery of an outdoor 50m pool and required supporting infrastructure;

3.       Development of concept site plans, facility layout plans and elevations, based on proposed site option and staging approach informed by the revised functional brief (based on that provided within the CFP);

4.       Provision of a capital cost plan for the delivery of the facility  and a whole of life cost plan;

5.       Prepare a detailed Business Plan for the proposed facility including income and expenditure projections over a 10 year period, market analysis, service and programming analysis, marketing and promotions strategy, organisational structure, staffing levels etc; 

6.       Review of project delivery and management options (in-house versus external management), taking into consideration joint provision opportunities and key stakeholder requirements.

 

Wanneroo Aquamotion

 

1.       Confirm the cost/benefit impact of the proposed future provision of the Regional Aquatic and Recreation facility in the Alkimos / Yanchep Corridor on the City’s existing Aquamotion facility; 

2.       Identify future location assessment criteria and location options for a facility to replace (i) Aquamotion as a stand-alone (ii) Aquamotion and the Kingsway Indoor Stadium as a joint facility (based on a 20 year horizon). This is to be based on the recent State Government East Wanneroo Metropolitan Regional Scheme (MRS) amendment; and

3.       Develop an indicative functional brief, construction cost plan, operating cost plan and whole of asset life plan and illustrative concepts for the proposed new facility. This should also consider the provision of appropriate “dry side” programming space, including but not limited to gymnasium/group fitness, multi-purpose activity and meeting room pace and indoor sports halls.

 

Administration appointed SGL Consulting Group (SGL) in December 2018 via a Request for Quotation process to undertake the Study.

Detail

The methodology employed for the Study includes four distinct phases, as outlined below. The Report is the result of Phases 1 and 2, noting that benchmarking is yet to be completed and therefore is not included within the Report.

Key points of consideration as a result of the study methodology undertaken to date are as follows:

 

Population and Demographic Analysis

 

Population

Tables 2.1 through 2.8 within the Report provide a detailed view of the key aspects of population and demographics within the Northern Coastal Growth Corridor (NCGC) and include consideration of population, education levels, culture and heritage, families and households, and the Housing, Income and Employment and Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA).

 

It is noted within the report that this initial analysis is based on ABS 2011 and 2016 data, with further analysis to incorporate the City’s Id Forecast data as appropriate. In doing so it is anticipated that the trends identified as a result of this analysis will not substantially change.

 

In respect to population, the Report’s analysis identifies that:

·        Butler currently has the largest population and that Jindalee and Yanchep has experienced the most growth;

·        Butler, Alkimos and Eglington have the youngest median ages (from 27 to 29 in 2016);

·        Alkimos and Eglington have the highest percentage of children under 4 years of age and Butler and Alkimos have the highest percentage of children between the ages of 5 to 9 years; and

·        Alkimos and Yanchep have the highest projected population through to 2028 and Alkimos and Eglington have the highest projected number of school aged children.

 

Population level and density within the proposed facility catchment area is critical to assessment of need and feasibility.

 

Education

The Report notes that Alkimos, Eglinton and Yanchep have the highest percentage of people attending a primary school. This is relevant to programming of any proposed facility.

 

Culture and Heritage

The Report found that overall the Wanneroo LGA has a lower proportion of those born in Australia compared to the Greater Perth Region (GPR). This is particularly relevant to water safety and education and has a direct relevance to water education programs.

 

Families and Households

The Report found that Butler has the largest percentage of couple families with children, the most one parent families and the largest percentage of family households. This is consistent with Butler’s population relative to other localities within the NCGC and relates to both program development and capacity to pay for services provided by any proposed facility.

 

Housing

The Report found that Butler has a relatively low percentage of dwellings owned outright considering it is an older suburb, while Eglinton has the highest percentage of occupied dwellings owned with a mortgage. Compared to the GPR, the proportion of homes owned outright is very low across all these suburbs. This has particular relevance in respect to disposable income levels which in turn affects program participation and demand.

 

Income and Employment

The Report found that there is a large amount of variation in the median weekly personal incomes amongst the suburbs. This also has relevance in respect to disposable income levels which in turn affects program participation and demand.

 

SEIFA

The SEIFA consists of four indexes being:

1        Index of Relative Socio-Economic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD)

2        Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD)

3        Index of Economic Resources

4        Index of Education and Occupation

 

The report found that Jindalee has the highest rating for all SEIFA indexes across the suburbs, while Two Rocks has the lowest rating across all indexes except for Education and Occupation. Yanchep has the lowest rating for Education and Occupation. Socio-economic factors influence disposable income levels (capacity to pay), program participation and demand in general.

 

Population Growth

As noted above, population level and density within the proposed facility catchment area is critical to assessment of need and feasibility. Key to this the Report found the following:

 

·        By 2028, Alkimos, Eglinton and Yanchep will account for about 65% of the NCGC population;

·        By 2041, three distinct population nodes will exist - Yanchep/Two Rocks (65,891), Alkimos/Eglinton (68,186) and Butler/Jindalee (27,879); and

·        The largest increase is expected in the 35 – 49 age cohort (14,282).  An increase of almost 17,000 is expected in the under 15 age cohort, which is the main target for water education and aquatic play.

 

Community Infrastructure

 

The Report has undertaken an inventory of existing aquatic centres, sports halls, fitness centres, schools and public open space within the NCGC. This found that:

 

·        There are 16 aquatic centres located within the broader region, with four pools (only one being a 25m pool) within the NCGC (refer to Map 4.1 in Attachment 1). It was further noted that there are no pools north of Butler and between Quinns Rocks and Burns Beach Road;

·        There are 10 sports halls in the broader region (refer to Map 4.2 in Attachment 1), with nine of those south of Burns Beach Road. There is only one public indoor court (Gumblossom Community Centre) between Arena Joondalup and the Phil Renkin Centre;

·        In terms of fitness centres, the Report identified that there are 45 fitness centres within the broader region (refer to Map 4.3 in Attachment 1), with five full service gyms, as opposed to 24/7 gyms, most notably Craigie Leisure Centre, Arena Joondalup and Wanneroo Aquamotion;

·        In terms of education facilities, the Report has identified 20 existing primary and secondary schools and a further 41 proposed primary and secondary schools within the NCGC;

·        Total current student enrolments for existing schools within the NCGC is approximately 9,180;

·        Public Open Space (POS) provision has identified the proposed development of Butler North District Open Space as well as the proposed POS developments within Alkimos, Eglington, Yanchep and Two Rocks as outlined within the City’s adopted Northern Coastal Growth Corridor Community Facilities Plan;

·        The Report gives preliminary consideration to future POS areas in Alkimos (District and Regional Open Space) and Yanchep Lagoon. It should be noted that site analysis and selection will be addressed further within Phase 3 Feasibility Assessment;

·        Activity Centres have also been captured (primarily Alkimos and Yanchep) as has the rail and freeway extensions;

·        The Report also notes the concept of ocean pools, which will be subject to further consultation and analysis within the Study process.

 

Analysis of current provision within the NCGC is relevant in respect to competition and therefore demand for any proposed facility (hence impacting on feasibility), with the provision of education facilities establishing program needs and future demand. Transport and activity centres are critical in respect to accessibility of the proposed facility and population catchment density, while POS provision provides insight into potential location options.

 

Trends

 

The Report provides insight into the generational change that has occurred in respect to aquatic facilities (refer to page 48 within Attachment 1), and identifies the following as key offerings in current generation aquatic facilities:

 

·       Flexible water spaces designed to cater for the specific needs of key markets:

o   Recreation and leisure

o   Competition, training and fitness

o   Teaching

o   Health and rehabilitation

·       A mix of shallow leisure/recreation water with deeper programmable water space.   The depth of the major water space areas tends to be 1.0 to 1.8 metres for the main pools, and a teaching pool tends to be between 0.6 and 0.9 metres deep;

·       Splash pads with play features;

·       Access for all through beach entry or an access ramp to all water spaces;

·       Aquatic play elements for young children, primary school age and teenage customers with the range of features varying substantially from wave pools to water cannons and sprays; and

·       Install high revenue generating and complementary activities such as health and fitness suites, spas and saunas.  

 

Page 49 of the Report identifies 11 trends which impact on leisure facilities, with major markets being identified on page 50.

 

Demand Projections

 

Based on the analysis undertaken to date, the Report has given consideration to both current and projected demand for the proposed facility. Based on the analysis of ABS data, the projected population of the NCGC is estimated to be 95,710 in 2028 and 161,956 by 2041. It was noted that the largest increase is expected in the 35 to 49 age group, with the under 15 years cohort (a key target market) expected to increase by 17,000.

 

Analysis of swimming participation rates and 2016 population statistics suggests a total number of swims per annum for the NCGC being within the range of 180,000 and 299,500, noting that this includes swimming at locations other than public aquatic facilities. Based on Operational Management Benchmarks for Australian Public Sport, Leisure & Aquatic Centres, which found the average number of visits per annum by people living within a 5km catchment was 2.5 visits, the current projected attendance for an aquatic facility is estimated at approximately 88,750. 

 

Further to this, the Report provides a ‘pragmatic’ estimate of demand for a new aquatic centre being between 90,000 to 150,000 swims per annum (for a centrally located facility), providing an initial indication that the current projected demand is nearing the lower end of the pragmatic demand estimate.

 

It should be noted, however that for demand analysis will be undertaken in the subsequent phases of the Study to understand how this translates to the development (i.e. staging) of future facility provision . 

 

Key Findings

 

As a result of the data and analysis provided within the Report, key findings (refer to page 54) are outlined below:

 

·        The forecast population of 162,000 in the NCGC is likely to be adequate to justify at least two aquatic and recreation centres. Consequently, a strategic analysis is required to ensure that any development in the short term complements long term demand.  Hence, a flexible strategy must be adopted to avoid locking in or out development options.

 

·        Research regarding travel patterns to aquatic and recreation centres has found it is closely correlated to travel patterns to work, education and shopping. This suggests that potential locations for a major aquatic and recreation centre will be in Yanchep at the proposed Strategic Metropolitan Centre, and/or the Alkimos Secondary Centre.

 

·        Capacity to pay (as informed by SEIFA scores) will be a major determinant of participation in aquatic and recreation centres. As a result this will be a significant factor in determining a long term strategy for the provision of aquatic and recreation centres.

 

·        The NCGC has a deficiency in sports halls, with the Report suggesting that current population could support at least a two court stadium.  In the longer term additional courts will be needed to service the growing population. Whereas aquatic centres and fitness centres are not core business for schools, a sports hall is a significant teaching space for schools. Consequently, a co-located sports hall with a secondary school may be a realistic and practical option for a short term solution within a long term strategy.

 

·        Six major aquatic markets have been identified - lap swimming, swim coaching/squads, learn to swim lessons, recreational aquatic play, aquatic fitness programs, therapeutic and rehabilitation programs.  In the long term, an aquatic strategy should ensure that all markets are being serviced either by the public, commercial or community sectors.

 

·        In the short term, and given the age profile of the NCGC, the priority should be on servicing the needs of children and families. That is, priority to providing swimming lessons either through schools or via a swim school. To meet the recreational needs of toddlers and caregivers, and children up to about 15 years, aquatic play areas should be provided, such as splash pads, sprays and fountains, tipping buckets and slides. Developing a well-designed aquatic facility will enable water spaces to be used for multiple markets.

 

·        As the NCGC has limited aquatic facilities, the short term priority should be a facility that operates all year round. Hence water must be heated to at least 29oC to enable swimming lessons. Unless geothermal heating is available, the cost to heat an outdoor swimming pool will be very high.  It is unlikely that solar heating will enable water to be heated to this temperature over winter. Therefore, the short term solution should include an indoor aquatic facility, of at least 25m in length.

Consultation

Consultation will occur as a part of Phase 3 and will include land developers, education providers, State Sporting Associations and relevant State Government departments.

 

Subject to Council consideration of the final report, a period of community consultation will be undertaken as per the City’s Community Engagement Policy.

Comment

It is important to note that the Report provided by SGL is a progress report providing an initial indication of direction of the Study based on the Phase 2 Needs Assessment process. As outlined within the methodology, further detail and analysis is to be developed to refine the initial findings outlined within the Report. This will include consideration of cost benefit impact on Aquamotion.

DETAILED ANALYSIS OF STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (ATTACHMENT 1)

Comments relating to the Statement of Comprehensive Income are provided under the following two sections:

a)            Current month comparison of Actuals to Budgets, and

b)            Period to date and end of year comparison of Actuals to Budgets.


 

Total Comprehensive Income

Revenues

Note 1        The favourable variance is mainly due to Interim Rates of $748k on Commercial Properties levied in January 2019 which is higher than budgeted, however Interim Rates on Residential Properties is $148k less than expected.

Note 2        The favourable variance mainly relates to reimbursement of Court fees ($204k) on Rates recovery against the unpaid Ratepayers and receipting of second quarter contribution from Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) Grant of $80k which was budgeted for December 2018.

Note 3        The unfavourable result is mainly due to lower than expected user entry fees ($84k) due to closure of Aquamotion facilities, lower Building License Permit  Assessment fee ($67k) and loss of lease Income ($42K) budgeted for leasing the ground floor of the new Civic Centre Building for the month of January 2019. However the unfavourable variance was partially offset by higher Waste Fees and Facility Booking Fees than expected for January 2019.

Note 4        Penalty Interest on late payments of Rates and Interest Earnings from Reserve and Municipal Funds are higher than budgeted amount for the month of January 2019 as a result of higher return and high investment portfolio balance than budgeted by $84k and $54k respectively.

Expenses

Note 5        Normal Wages and Salaries were $620k lower than budgeted given staff utilising their annual leave ($695k). This was partially offset by lower capitalisation of Salaries and Wages.

 

 

Note 6        The favourable variance ($1.3m) is mainly a result of Contract expenses on Park maintenance and Park irrigation equipment which were $314k lower than anticipated as the majority of works were completed during November and December 2018.  Further, $676k of Gate fees for Waste removal estimated for the month of January 2019 were invoiced in December 2018 by Mindarie Regional Council (MRC) resulting in lower expenses in January 2019.

 


 

Note 7        Actual electricity expense for Street lighting and Park lands maintenance ($36k) was higher than anticipated which resulted in an unfavourable variance across Electricity and Water Consumption.  However this was partially offset by savings from telephone charges and Gas expenses.

 

 

Note 8        Interest expenses comprise the WA Treasury Corporation loan drawn in 2006/07 and the Commonwealth Bank loan drawn in 2016/17.

 

 

Note 9        The favourable result reflects improved claims.

Other Revenue & Expenses

Note 10      Non-Operating Grants, Subsidies & Contributions

Month - (Actual $744k, Revised Budget $505k)

The favourable variance relates to late receipt of $714k Grant from Metropolitan Regional Road Group (MRRG) for road improvement projects which was due in December 2018 and this was partially offset by $498k of State various Grants budgeted in January 2019 but were not received.

Year to Date – (Actual $6.0m, Revised Budget $6.8m)

The unfavourable variance relates to delay in State Grants of $830k budgeted to January 2019 for following Projects.

$183k (PR-4166 ~ Two Rocks Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade Facility Upgrade – Civil Works)

$537k (PR-4024 ~ Alexander Heights Day Clubs)

$110k (PR-4111 ~ Belhaven Reserve Sports Amenities Building)

 Note 11     Contributed Physical Assets

                   Month – (Actual $2.2m, Revised Budget $0m)

Budget was allocated on quarterly basis and actual recognition is recorded when assets are handed over to the City.  Actual assets recognition for the month of January 2019 was $2.2m against a Budget of $0m.          

Year to Date – (Actual $8m, Revised Budget $20.0m)

The unfavourable variance is due to the anticipated level of asset handovers from developers which have not eventuated as expected in the Budget.

 Note 12     Profit / Loss on Asset Disposals

Year to Date – (Actual $315k, Revised Budget $680k)

Tamala Park Regional Council (TPRC) Land sales are lower than expected for first half of financial year 2018/19 due to slow property market conditions.  The last Cost of Lots Sold Report was prepared in November 2018, which had 14 lots settled for the year compared with 39 lots for the same period in the previous year (November 2017).

Note 13      Town Planning Scheme (TPS) Revenues

Month - (Actual $624k, Revised Budget $2.4m)

The unfavourable result is mainly due to slow land sales in Salita Estate – Lot 518 Gnangara Road Landsdale (East Wanneroo - Cell 9).

 Year to Date – (Actual $7.7m, Revised Budget $6.7m)

The favourable result is mainly due to $710k of Capital Contribution received earlier than anticipated under various cells and Interest income from TPS which is $220k higher than budgeted.

Note 14      Town Planning Scheme (TPS) Expenses

Month - (Actual $61k, Revised Budget $2.1m)

The favourable variance is due to non-occurring of payments worth of $2m for Contract works budgeted for January 2019 as current development is delayed.

 

Year to Date – (Actual $2.4m, Revised Budget $5.5m)

As a result of the overall delay in development of lands relating to various Cells, year to date actual contract expenses are $2.9m lower than Budgeted. 

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (Attachment 2)

 

 

Note 1 - Net Current Assets

When compared to the opening position at 30 June 2018 Net Current Assets have increased by $62.6m which is predominately the impact of Rates and Waste Service Fees having been levied in July 2018.

Within the Current Assets, the Current Receivables of $47m are mainly comprised of collectable Rates and Waste Service Fees debtors of $41m. The majority of the remaining balance in Current Receivables relates to Emergency Services Levy outstanding debtors of $2m.

Note 2 - Non-Current Assets

Non-Current Assets in January 2019 have increased by $29.5m from June 2018 Actuals. The movement is the recognition of $25.8 in capital related work in progress and investments in term deposits for a period greater than twelve months being partially offset by a decrease of $16.2m accumulated depreciation.

Within the Non-Current Assets, Receivables largely relate to Deferred Pensioner Rates of $2.9m being funds that cannot be collected until the Pensioner ceases to reside at the Rateable property.

Note 3 - Non-Current Liabilities

Non-Current Liabilities at January 2019 have increased by $64k attributed to changes in provision balances relating to long service leave. The existing loan with the Western Australia Treasury Corporation remains unchanged and when combined with the new loan makes up 98% of total Non-Current Liabilities.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The table below presents data on relevant financial ratios, comparing the minimum standard expected as per the Department of Local Government, Sport & Cultural Industries status at the beginning of the financial year, and year to date figures (where relevant). 

A green highlight is used where the minimum standard is met or exceeded. Highlighted in red are below the standard for financial year ended 30 June 2018.

 

Note 1 - Current Ratio

The Standard was not met primarily as a result of the internal restrictions of municipal funds. Most of the municipal funds are kept in special purpose cash backed Reserves.

Note 2 - Asset Sustainability Ratio

The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries Asset Management Framework and Guidelines publication provides the following explanation in respect to the Asset Sustainability Ratio (ASR):

"If capital expenditure on renewing or replacing assets is at least equal to depreciation on average over time, then the local government is ensuring the value of its existing stock of physical assets is maintained. If capital expenditure on existing assets is less than depreciation then, unless a local government’s overall asset stock is relatively new, it is likely that it is underspending on renewal or replacement."

A large percentage of the City's assets are in new to very good condition with approximately 85% of the total asset base at or below condition 2 (a rating of ‘0’ represents a new asset and a ‘10’ represents an asset that has failed). Less than 1% of the asset base is at or above condition 8, which represents assets that require intervention.

With the City's current mix of old and new assets and continued high growth, a lower than average ASR is expected, and the current condition of assets and level of renewal expenditure confirms this position. As the stock ages and renewal expenditure incrementally increases the ratio should increase, however continued growth may keep it relatively lower than the industry standard.

Taking a long term outlook, the level of asset stock and renewal demand necessitates the development of strategies to address the future impact and ensure that the City can continue to grow and maintain its assets in a financially sustainable manner. Given that renewal expenditure is lower than the depreciation being charged and that certain years’ experience significant spikes in demand, a specific Asset Renewal Reserve has been established.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAPITAL PROGRAM

The current status of the Capital Program is summarised by Sub-Program in the table below.

As at 31 January 2019 the City has spent $25.9m, which represents 30% of the $86m budget. The City had $16.6m of committed expenditure as at the end of January 2019. The combined actual spend and commitments total $42.4m or 49.3% of the annual budget.

During the calendar month of January 2019, $3.9m was spent. Details of significant Actual expenditure for the month of January included are included in Attachment 3.

To further expand on the Capital Works Program information above, updates in key capital projects are selected to be specifically reported on, is provided in the Top Capital Projects attachment to this report (Attachment 4).

Capital Changes

Issue

To consider and adopt the 2018/19 Quarter 2 (Mid-Year) Corporate Business Plan (CBP) and Financial Performance Report (July – December 2018).Do not delete this line


Background

The Corporate Business Plan 2018/19 - 2021/22 identifies the 56 priorities (over four years) and 82 annual actions (for 2018/19) to be delivered; these align to the outcomes and strategies of the Strategic Community Plan 2017/18 - 2026/27.

 

Section 5.56(1) and (2) of the Local Government Act (1995) requires that each local government is “to plan for the future of the district” by developing plans in accordance with the regulations. This is supported by the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996.  In addition, the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework and Guidelines also recommend that the Local Government Administration provides quarterly reporting on progress against the Corporate Business Plan.

 

Updates on the City’s performance (against CBP Priorities & Budgets) are provided on a quarterly basis to the Audit & Risk Committee with the second (mid-year) report and fourth quarter (end of year) report also being submitted to Council; this is in accordance with the reporting arrangements detailed in the CBP.  The attached 2018/19 Quarter 2 (Mid-Year) Corporate Business Plan and Financial Performance Report (July – December 2018) (Attachment 1) provides a high-level and integrated overview and assessment of performance for these areas as at 31 December 2018.  The attachments within the report contain detailed performance information presented against the outcomes and strategies of the Strategic Community Plan 2017/18 – 2026/27 and the performance of the top 14 capital projects.

Detail

The 2018/19 mid-year report presents improvements in performance across both the CBP and the Budget and includes a number of recommendations. Some of the key highlights include:

·                The CBP performance status as at 31 December 2018 is 87% compared to the performance status of 75% at the same time last year;

·                Six annual actions are recommended to be deferred to 2019/20;

·                The results from operations show a $13.9 (20%) million favourable variance to the original budget;

·                The year to date overall capital expenditure represents 26% of the 2018/19 original adopted budget, compared to 28% spent as at the same time the previous financial year;

·                As at 31 December 2018, the City had spent 43.7% ($7.1M) of the adopted Capital carry forward budget from 2017/18;

·                Looking ahead, a detailed review of the year to date (YTD) actual and forecast expenditure for the next (3rd) Quarter has identified a significant number of projects currently within the procurement phase or at imminent tender award phase.  Administration will continue to monitor progress against planned expenditure across all sub-programs, individual projects and carry forwards, to ensure the Capital Works program delivery remains on track;

 

Detailed information on each of these areas is set out in Attachment 1.

Consultation

Administration have been engaged in the preparation of this report by providing information on the status and progress made against the CBP Priorities and Annual Actions. 

Comment

Improvements with the reporting of Top 14 Capital Projects been incorporated within the structure of this report. These include providing links to the City’s website for further progress information on these projects within the body of the report and the inclusion of progress photos in the Top 14 Capital Projects detailed status report.

Statutory Compliance

The City’s Strategic Community Plan and CBP are governed by Section 5.56(1) and (2) of the Local Government Act (1995) which requires that each local government is 'to plan for the future of the district' by developing plans in accordance with the regulations. This is supported by the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996.

 

The Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework and Guidelines also recommend quarterly reporting by the Local Government Administration to Council on progress against the CBP.

Issue

To consider the draft Strategic Budget Policy (the Policy) (Attachment 1, 2 & 3).

Background

The City adopted the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework (IPR) in 2013.  Whilst the IPR has provided business improvement and better corporate governance it was recognised that a Strategic Budget Policy (the Policy) was also required. 

 

The concept and considerations for a Strategic Budget Policy were discussed as part of the 2019/20 Budget Workshop 1 on 4th February 2019.

 

It was noted that the principles of Zero Based Budgeting were introduced in the 2016/17 Budget preparations and will continue to be used in preparing the 2019/20 Budget. 

Detail

The Strategic Budget Policy provides the City with financial guidance and a framework for a robust and transparent financial planning process.  The Policy has been designed to ensure intergenerational equity from a sustainable and prudent approach to Rate setting and Fees and Charges setting, and managing expenditure. 

 

The Policy supports Council’s Strategic Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan and is the reference point when developing the Annual Budget, Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) and considering financial performance as part of the Mid-Year Budget Review process.

 

The main components of the Policy are:

·    Robust and transparent LTFP processes;

·    Intergenerational equity;

·    Sustainable, fully costed level of Fees and Charges for services both now and into the future (maintenance, renewal, replacement and new); and

·    Prudent Rates setting that reflects community’s needs and aspirations; sustainable in non-Rates income streams;

The Strategic Budget Policy has been reviewed to incorporate the Setting of Fees and Charges Policy within the Strategic Budget Policy.  The proposed Policy can be seen in Attachment 1 and a copy of the Policy with track changes is in Attachment 2. A copy of the current Strategic Budget Policy is attached (Attachment 3) and Fees and Charges Policy (Attachment 4). 

 

 

 

The main proposed changes are:

 

·    Authority to waive Fees and Charges

·    Methods of setting Fees and Charges

·    Circumstances for reviewing a fee or charge

Writing off debts / waiver of Fees and Charges

Consultation

Relevant teams within Administration were consulted at the initial development stage of this Policy and the current review. 

Comment

The Policy will provide guidance for 2019/20 Budget preparation.

Issue

To consider the Mid-Year Review (MYR) of the Annual Budget for 2018/19 (Annual Budget).

Background

Regulation 33A of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 requires a local government to carry out a review of its Annual Budget for that year between 1 January and 31 March in each year.  Within 30 days after the review is carried out, the review is to be submitted to the Council for consideration. Council is to consider the review and determine whether or not to adopt.  The Revised Budgets resulting from the MYR are detailed in Attachments 1, 2 and 3 and are inclusive of endorsed amendments from Council and MYR recommendations.

Detail

The MYR of the Annual Budget was undertaken during the month of January 2019 based on data as at 31 December 2018.  Commentaries on Revised Budgets as a result of the MYR are provided below.

The overall adjustments captured through the MYR reflect an unfavourable impact to the Result from Operations of $2.0m, with the end of year Result from Operations post MYR reducing from an Original Budget Surplus of $4.9m to a surplus of $2.9m. 

With the Capital Program, the Revised Budget post MYR is projected to be $78.4m, representing a $7.6m reduction.

Budgeted Transfers from Reserves have reduced by $2.3m which is attributable to the decreased requirement towards Capital Projects.

Statement of Comprehensive Income (Attachment 1)

Operating Income (+$1.0m)

Rates (-$366k)

The full year forecast has reduced the Rating Income by $366k to $131.0m.  This is due to reduction in number of completed buildings and new lots than anticipated partially offset by amended valuations which resulted in fewer properties on Minimum Rates.

Operating Grants, Subsidies and Contributions (+$836k)

The City is expected to experience an increase in government funded grants and other income of $836k. 

The major accounts affecting this increase are:

·        Operating Grant Income - State Government increased by $326k (4.5%), reflecting an additional $190k received from the Grants Commission for general purpose, and $125k for beach land maintenance. 

·        Court Fees for Debt Recovery increase $204k (400%) being offset by increase in expenditure.  This increase in fees reflects the recent outsourcing of the long outstanding overdue Rates.

Fees and Charges (+$110k)

The full year forecast is revised up by $110k (0.25%) with the major accounts affecting income under this category being:

·        Facility Booking Fee Income has been increased by $1.0m (93%) to capture the gross value of Fees charged for Hire of Facilities, which had previously been net off against corresponding fee subsidies. This amount is however now offset against corresponding fee subsidies captured under Contract Expenses. The capturing of these Fees and associated fee subsidies is in compliance with City’s Accounting Policy;

·        User or Entry Fees Income within Community Facilities has been revised downwards by $641k (28%) to reflect Aquamotion pool closure from September 2018 to April 2019 ($437k – Swim School, $140k – Operate Pool, $80k Memberships);

·        Parking Fee income has decreased by $350k (46%) as the City engages in issuing warnings as a means of educating the public instead of fines.  The focus on educating and undertaking awareness raising with the community came as a result of the recent Service Review undertaken of Community Safety and Ranger Services, particularly in relation to school parking; and

·        Waste Service Fee increased by $225k (0.8%), recognising a higher than anticipated growth in properties flowing on to Domestic Rubbish Collection Fee Income.

Interest Earnings (+$552k)

Based on increased investment funds, and interest rates the budget forecast will be increased by $552k (0.6%).  It is noted that the City commenced investing a greater percentage of the portfolio in Tier 2 “green” financial institutions paying higher interest rates, which are close to the rates used in the budget.  The prevailing interest rates are ranging between 2.65% in July 2018 and 2.7% in December 2018.

 

Other Revenue (-$100k)

Key reasons for overall $100k decrease are as follows; decrease of $30k under Fire Protection due to improved weather conditions and limited resourcing, $30k under Local Government Act Income from Rangers relating to vehicle removal and auctions to reflect lower year to date actuals and projections, $23k under Carramar Golf Course due to delayed finalisation of mobile tower lease arrangements, $20k under Building Income due to the change in requests from hard copy to digital which has a reduced charge, partially offset by an increase of $35k under Recycling Centre due to additional revenue from scrap metal and batteries.

Operating Expenses (+3.0m)

Employee Costs (+$1.4m)

The full year forecast for Employee Costs is an increase of $1.4m (1.9%) mainly due to lower project administration recoveries as the Budget was based on higher rates, in addition a number of staff working exclusively on projects have been directly costed to their respective projects eliminating requirement to go through recoveries process. 

This mid-year forecast has been completed after considering increased Capital Works in the second half of the financial year. All other Salaries and Wages accounts are tracking as per the Annual Revised Budget with no Mid-Year Adjustments being required. 

Materials and Contracts (+$1.8m)

The full year Materials and Contracts budget is revised to $62.3m, being an increase of $1.8m (3.0%) compared to Revised Budget.  Explanations of the larger areas of change are outlined below:

·          Contract Expenses (+$1.4m): Increase of $1.0m relates to Facility Hire Fee subsidies. These subsidies had previously been net off against Facility Booking Fee Income. These subsidies now reflected separately to improve transparency of the value of subsidised use applicable to facility hire charges as per the Accounting Policy.  An additional $300k relates to various building maintenance and Rates collection activities.

·          Consulting Fee Expenses (+$117k):  The key variances relate to; an increase of $135k under Strategic Land Use Planning & Environment (SLUPE) to undertake various priority projects (CHRMAP, Yanchep Lagoon, Two Rocks Beach, Wanneroo Town Centre, etc.).

·          Minor Equipment Purchases not Capitalised (>$5k) (+$52k): Increases required across various service units, due to change of threshold from $1k to $5k which had not been recognised by all Service Units during the budget stage, with some reductions to capital project budgets subsequently reflected as necessary.

·          Cost Allocation Plant Vehicle Usage and Replacement (+$615k): The net increase (charge out, less recoveries) of $615k is based on analysis undertaken of current plant rates applied against hours charged, and projected for the remainder of the year.  The increase in cost reflects underutilisation of plant.  

·          Refuse Removal Expenses (-$401k): In addition to a reduction in the cost of Bulk Rubbish of $135k due to new initiatives, further savings are anticipated based on the tonnage of Domestic Rubbish and Domestic Recycling Services.

 

 

Utility Charges (-$210k)

A decrease in utility charges of $210k (2.2%) being driven by a reduction in electricity costs of $178k.  This is mainly attributed to the introduction of Short Message System (SMS) flood lighting systems in addition to reductions in telephone costs due to various initiatives relating to the digital phone system and renegotiated mobile phone plans.  Additionally there has been delay in the reopening of the Pool at Aquamotion.

Non-Operating Grants, Subsidies & Contributions (+$292k)

The forecast end of year figure represents an overall increase of $292k (2.3%), being the net result of grant upward adjustments as detailed in Attachment 2, as well as the recognition of a higher lot yield than anticipated within the Woodvale Structure Plan area amounting to $200k.

Contributions of Physical Assets (-$28.5m)

As at the end of December 2018, $5.8m contributed assets were recorded against the Annual Budget of $40m.  Based on the pooled civil engineering asset value there is a reduction of $28.4m to the Adopted Budget.  

Profit/(Loss) on Asset Disposals (-$792k)

A $792k decrease (-47.5%), attributed to lower than expected sales at Tamala Park due to slowing market conditions. 

Town Planning Schemes (TPS) (+$2.8m)

Latest planning activities have indicated developers’ contributions will be slightly higher than the Annual Budget by $843k (5.2%).  This is a result of estimates on remaining lots in Cell 6 and Woodvale Structure Plan developments being higher than anticipated. TPS is experiencing a $2.3m (29.3%) decrease in total Scheme expenses. This is due to Public Open Space acquisitions with Developers being delayed due to slow land sales in the current market.

Capital Projects (Attachment 2) (-$7.6m)

Review of the Capital Program has produced various adjustments to projects as detailed in Attachment 2.  These adjustments have resulted in a net reduction in the capital program of $7.6m, with the post MYR Revised Budget projected to be $78.4m.

With particular attention paid to the timing of the spending on large projects, there have been a number of projects relinquishing funds in 2018/19 for consideration during the 2019/20 Capital Budget development deliberations.

Some of the major deferrals, and the explanations for them, are as follows:

Project

Amount Deferred

Reason

Kingsway Olympic Clubrooms, Madeley, New Change rooms and Grandstand

$943k

$200k Contribution, $718k Loan and $25k Municipal

Delay to the project as a result of external funding agreements not being finalised on schedule, requiring re-tendering to take place. 

Neerabup Industrial Area, Neerabup, New Development

$550k

Reserves

Lot 9001 subdivision development is progressing slowly due to ongoing concept design work. Contract award for resource extraction delayed to first quarter 2019/20.

Hardcastle Park, Landsdale, Upgrade Passive Park

$400k

$377k Reserves and $23k Municipal

Re-budget construction works in 2019/20. Clearing permit is now subject to an appeal process, with the outcome likely to be known around June 2019.

Edgar Griffiths Park, Wanneroo, New Sports Amenities Building

$752k

Municipal

Revision of the construction schedule has resulted in an adjustment to the forecast cashflow for the project.

Hudson Park, Girrawheen, Upgrade Dennis Cooley Pavilion

$1.075m

$489k Reserves and $586k Municipal

Project schedule adjusted to suit the outcome of Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) grant funding application.

Renew Finance System

$650k

Reserves

Delays to the Project as a result of complex tender evaluations overrunning into the Christmas New Year period. With subsequent contract negotiations to follow Council endorsement of the Tender award, it is anticipated that system implementation activities will commence later than originally anticipated.

Renew Customer Request Management System

$430k

Reserves

Delays in resourcing the project, as focus is currently on the asset management information system project.

The mid-year adjustments to the Capital Budget do not include adjustments for the following three projects which will be addressed as part of the individual tender recommendations reports to be presented to Council separately:

·          PR-2955 Butler North District Open Space, Butler

·          PR-4098 Pinjar Road Dualling (Blackberry Drive to Joondalup Drive)

·          PR-4140 Marmion Avenue Dualling to Yanchep

In addition, the following new project has been identified:

Unisex Changeroom Upgrades ($200k)

In response to the increase in female participation, the Western Australian Football Commission (WAFC) has developed a set of guidelines/facility requirements to upgrade existing changerooms into unisex changerooms. This project is to upgrade the existing changerooms at the following venues to be compliant with the WAFC unisex facility requirements:

·          Wanneroo Showgrounds;

·          Anthony Waring;

·          Ridgewood Park; and

·          Kingsway AFL.

Modifying existing changerooms to unisex changerooms will allow clubs to further develop their sports and increase female participation by providing appropriate facilities.

There are no previous Council resolutions in relation to this project.

 

 

 

Rate Setting Statement (refer to Attachment 3)

The Rate Setting Statement outlined in Attachment 3 represents a composite view of the finances of the City.  It is based on the movement of operations and Capital Works revenue and expenditure providing an indication of the required Rating income.  The resultant position identifies a reduction in Rates to be raised of $366k, inclusive of an increase to Reserves of $329k.

Consultation

Internal stakeholders.

Comment

Total changes submitted through the MYR equate to an unfavourable movement of $2.0m which is summarised as:

·          An increase in Operating Grants, Subsidies & Contributions, Fees & Charges and Interest Income of $836k, $110k and $552k respectively.

·          An increase in Employee Costs of $1.4m, reflecting reduced Project Administration Recoveries.

·          An increase in Contract Expenses of $1.8m primarily due to a $1.0m entry to acknowledge the Facility Hire Fee subsidies.

The Result from Operations post MYR now reflects reduced Surplus of $2.9m. Of the $7.6m reduction in the Capital Program budget a large proportion is deferred for consideration in 2019/20.  With regard to the financial impact on Municipal Funds a reduced draw of $2.7m is identified.

Statutory Compliance

Regulation 33A of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 requires a local government to carry out a review of its Annual Budget for that year between 1 January and 31 March in each year.  Within 30 days after the review is carried out, the review is to be submitted to the Council for consideration. Council is to consider the review and determine whether or not to adopt.

Issue

To consider endorsement of the Draft Yanchep Lagoon Masterplan.

Background

A confidential report was submitted to Council on 13 September 2016 (CR01-09/16) to consider the proposed lease of a 320m2 (approximate) portion of Reserve 43792, Lot 9740, Brazier Road, Yanchep. Council resolved in part:

 

“That Council:-

 

…4. ENDORSES the City conducting a strategic review into the use of Lot 9740 Brazier Road, Yanchep, including (but not limited to) the retention of the existing building and the potential to redevelop the site and REPORT to Council for the mid-year budget review…”

 

Further to Council endorsement, the opportunity to consider the whole of the Yanchep Lagoon Precinct (YLP) was taken, with the view to consider potential development and activation, encompassing the area from the Old Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club to Fisherman’s Hollow and the relationship of the YLP to Mary Lindsay Homestead to the north (Attachment 1 refers).

 

Since that time, an aspirational, high-level, strategic assessment regarding long-term opportunities and considerations for the YLP has been undertaken.  These assessments were presented to Elected Members on 27 November 2017 and 3 February 2018 which provided an opportunity to explore preferred development typology, accommodate mix and footprint.

 

It is recognised that the YLP represents a significant coastal node for the City and has the potential to provide facilities for not only the local Yanchep population but the greater Perth region.  With this in mind the City released a tender on 16 July 2018 for the ‘Provision of Consultancy Services for Yanchep Lagoon Precinct Masterplan’. Roberts Day was chosen as the successful candidate on 3 August 2018.

 

Significant community engagement has been required to explore the community’s aspirations for the area and the preparation of a Masterplan to:

 

·    act as the key strategic planning tool to reflect the vision for the area;

·    consider statutory requirements;

·    develop guidelines for any future capital works;

·    encourage community amenities, facilities and events to be provided.

 

Based on this, a Place-Led Masterplan was chosen as the most appropriate process for this location because “it brings together contextual site analysis and historical research with collaborative stakeholder-led design to define qualities and characteristics that make the Lagoon unique and develop pragmatic recommendations for people-focused, place-based development and activation.”  (Attachment 2 refers).

Detail

As part of the initial Masterplan process, a thorough digital engagement program was undertaken between 24 October and 16 November 2018 which included the following:

 

·    A dedicated Your Say project page – project information and community comments;

·    A community survey (via Survey Monkey);

·    Social PinPoint (an interactive tool where comments / likes & dislikes / ideas can be expressed); and

·    An Expression of Interest (EOI) where the community could register their interest in participating a Planning & Design Forum (PDF).

 

The outcomes of the digital engagement were then analysed and informed the structure of the PDF which was a three day interactive exercise, held Wednesday 28 November to Friday 30 November 2018. The Wednesday and Thursday sessions involved all PDF participants (residents, relevant City Officers, State representatives and community groups).  Friday was a closed session allowing consolidation and reconciliation of the information received during the previous two days into a potential concept design.

 

Through the Masterplan digital engagement process and the PDF, four (4) key ‘Visions’ for the area were identified (Attachment 2 and 3 refer):

 

1.   Keep It Special

2.   Keep It Natural

3.   Keep It Local

4.   Keep It Simple

 

Six (6) ‘Key Destinations’ were developed as distinctive spaces within the draft Masterplan area, being:

 

1.   Mary Lindsay Homestead

2.   Nursery Corner

3.   The Settlement

4.   The Lagoon

5.   Yanchep Dune Park

6.   Brazier Promenade

 

These spaces are detailed separately within the draft Masterplan documentation as they represent distinctive locations, each with unique characteristics & specific place/development objectives. Full details are outlined in the Masterplan as shown in Attachment 2.

 

It is important to note the Masterplan area covers a range of properties (some in private ownership) and so implementation of a number of the recommendations are to be considered in the long term.

 

The draft Masterplan concept design and perspectives have been prepared from the outcomes of the PDF held in November 2018 (Attachments 2, 3 and 4 refers). The concept and summary was presented to Elected Members on Saturday 1 December and to the community at a Community Open Evening on 17 December 2018, with very positive feedback and clear advocacy by members of the community who attended the PDF. The draft Masterplan area and supporting documents prepared by Roberts Day were placed on the City’s website following the Community Open Evening for the community to view and comment, with overwhelming support.

This Masterplan provides a document that recommends strategies for how to progress development and introduce community amenities that reflect the City’s desire to progress areas based on community, rather than perceived development objectives.  The development is likely to be more sustainable when it responds to the community-developed vision for the locality. This style of Masterplan “does not seek to prescribe specific design outcomes … [but rather] communicates key outcomes for future development, based on stakeholder feedback and technical advice … [which] will be progressed through future project stages.” (Attachment 2 refers).

 

Attachments 2 and 3 outline the key objectives & strategies focused on the elements of:

 

·    Activity

·    Buildings

·    Landscape

·    Movement

 

The goals for the four (4) elements focus on collaborating with all stakeholders and implementing strategies quickly, to capitalise on momentum from the Masterplan process and guide all future direction moving forward.  Further implementation strategies are outlined in Attachment 3 focusing on Place Management specifically.

 

Attachment 3 outlines the key objectives and strategies proposed as part of the Masterplan for the five (5) ‘Elements’ outlined under the ‘Detail’ section of this report. The key focus of the objectives and strategies for each is summarised below:

 

·    Place Management

Establish and facilitate ‘Place Management Framework’ and communicate and collaborate through partnerships.

·    Activity

The natural lagoon is the key differentiator for the area and needs to be the focus for repositioning as a prominent visitor destination. Develop a ‘Place Brand & Brand Strategy’ and align corporate policies.  Invest up-front, with on-going revenue streams sourced.

·    Landscape

Preserve and enhance the natural character, as well as telling local stories. Landscaping to reinforce ‘Place Brand’.  Develop a ‘Landscape Style Manual’.

·    Buildings

Reinforce local character and reflect appropriate scale. Inforce best practice sustainable design and respond to harsh winds.  Undertake ‘Development Feasibility Assessment’ and prepare ‘Architectural Design Guidelines’.  Consider multifunctional space at new surf lifesaving club.

·    Movement

Priority needs to be given to people, not cars. Improved pedestrian and vehicle connections, including to key public transport (eg. train station).

 

The specific strategy recommendations relate mainly to:

 

·    Develop key strategic documents (e.g. Place Brand, Landscape Style Manual, Development Feasibility Assessment, Architectural Design Guidelines) and align corporate policy framework;

·    Reinforce ‘Place Brand’ in landscaping and built form design and materials;

·    Develop & continue community and business partnerships;

·    Invest early and for long-term;

·    Reflect natural features and enhance through design and activities.

 

It should be further noted that the YLP is currently identified as a District Beach Node in the Yanchep Two Rocks District Structure Plan, with potential Regional Nodes located further north at future coastal tourist activity centres such as Club Capricorn.  Following successful preliminary discussions with the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH), the intention is to explore the notion of this location as a Regional Beach Node.  This allows for a range of additional opportunities that will be considered in the context of greater Perth.

Consultation

Significant engagement has been undertaken throughout the Masterplan process, including a thorough digital engagement program undertaken between 24 October and 16 November 2018, as outlined in the Detail section of this report.

 

In addition, a significant community and stakeholder consultation program (the PDF) was undertaken to inform the development of the Masterplan. This intensive engagement allowed the City to partner with key stakeholders to create a vision and key priorities for the locality.

 

The community and PDF participants have been noticeably engaged throughout this project’s entirety and have stated they are eager to see immediate commitment to the Masterplan and development of the area in line with the outcomes of the PDF.

 

In addition, Administration has continued engagement with the DPLH regarding the outcomes of the draft Masterplan concept design and development expectations. The DPLH continue to be supportive of a village-style development node, with bespoke tourism opportunities.

Comment

The YLP and surrounding area is currently considered underdeveloped and has the potential to provide current and future residents (including locals and visitors to the area) with a range of service provisions and community activities if appropriately progressed. The area is currently experiencing pressure during the summer months and well thought out development is important to ensure a balance is reached between progression and mitigation of potential impacts (to the community and the environment).

 

The Place-Led Masterplan is cognisant of the Place Framework adopted by Council in 2018 and will assist in guiding future community and economic development and planning of the area, with the aim of activating the YLP, attracting revenue and the creation of jobs.  The Masterplan will also provide potential investors with the security that the City is focused on a carefully planned precinct.

 

The documents that support the Masterplan, as well as the implementation strategies recommended through the Masterplan process, will provide the City with appropriate tools to adequately control the built form and landscape, and ensure they are reflective of the vision/s developed by key stakeholders. These guidance tools will relate to controlling footprint extent, ensuring built form is cognisant of the coastal environment and providing context to land use, proposed service offerings and community events.  A Masterplan will ensure ad-hoc development does not continue in this precinct and future opportunities and capital works projects are consistent with Masterplan outcomes.

 

A Foreshore Management Plan (FMP) will be required following the endorsement of the Masterplan and this will be assessed by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC).  Following WAPC approval of the FMP, any future Development Applications that are consistent with the FMP will be able to be approved at City level unless the proposal results in clearing of any Bush Forever.

 

A recent meeting with the DPLH has established that an FMP will be prepared to facilitate development proposals. The statutory document will enable development without Development Applications being required, unless clearing of Bush Forever is necessary. The FMP will be considerate of the necessary detailed technical inputs (e.g. flora / vegetation surveys, Coastal Hazard Risk Management Adaptation Plan, economic feasibility, etc.) and decisions made on the most suitable strategy for staging development opportunities.

 

The DPLH has advised the City that any strategic documents relating to this location should include language explaining that this beach is being considered as having Regional Beach potential. Such documents Administration is aware of at this stage include, but may not be limited to:

 

·    Yanchep Lagoon FMP

·    District Structure Plans covering the Alkimos to Two Rocks areas (being prepared by the State Government)

·    Coastal Management Plan - Part 2

·    Any Trails Masterplans

 

It is important to note that very recent negotiations with the State around whether to include the privately-owned Nursery Corner in the FMP are continuing.  At this stage, it appears that a separate document will be developed over this area, to ensure the FMP can progress through the approvals process in a timely manner. It is likely that a Local Structure Plan or Local Area Plan will be prepared, and as part of this, the City will undertake very specific engagement with these landowners.

 

Some aspects throughout the strategic review and Masterplan process may also be determined as quick-win opportunities to provide early activation of the area.  Any such opportunities will be considered within the context of the overall vision for the area.

 

The anticipated key tasks that will be required following endorsement of the draft Masterplan are displayed in Attachment 5. This document also outlines the key inputs to the FMP and will provide critical information to enable further strategic decision-making by the City.

 

Throughout various milestones of the Masterplan document Council reports will be prepared at the appropriate times, it is anticipated that the establishment of a Steering Committee / Working Group to maintain momentum for the project will be presented to Council in the coming months, as well as the future of the existing Yanchep Lagoon Café building and additional storey on the new Yanchep Surf Lifesaving Club.

 

The future of the Old Surf Lifesaving Club is being presented to Council at this meeting as a separate confidential item. 

Statutory Compliance

Legislation to be complied with over the course of the project includes:

 

·    Local Government Act 1995 – Section 3.58;

·    Planning and Development Act 2005;

·    Environmental Protection Act 1986;

·    Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreements Act 1985;

·    Land Administration Act 1997; and

·    Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.

 

The aforementioned Acts and any relevant policies will be outlined in future Council reports as required.

 

 

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027:

The above risks relating to the issue contained within this report have been identified and considered within the City’s Strategic and Corporate risk register.  Action plans have been developed to manage this risk to support existing management system.

Policy Implications

It is expected at a minimum that the City will need to consider and align with the following policies:

 

·    State Planning Policy 2.8 – Bushland Policy for the Perth Metropolitan Region

·    State Planning Policy 2.6 – State Coastal Planning Policy

·    Yanchep – Two Rocks District Structure Plan

·    The City’s Coastal Hazard Risk Management & Adaptation Plan

·    The City’s Leasing Policy

Financial Implications

The approved 2018/19 budget provides sufficient allowance for the preparation of the Masterplan and advertising of the lease disposition as well as preparation of the legal documentation to effect the AFSL and Ground Sub-Lease.  Allowance has been made in the 2018/19 mid-year budget review for preparation of the FMP.

Previous Items:                                   CS07-02/19 - Consideration of Motions Received at the Annual General Meeting of Electors - Ordinary Council - 05 Feb 2019 7.00pm       

 

Issue

To consider Motions received at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Electors, held on 3 December 2018.

Background

Section 5.33(1) of the Local Government Act 1995 requires all decisions made at an AGM to be considered at the next Ordinary Council Meeting (OCM) or, if that is not practicable, at the next scheduled OCM or at a Special Council Meeting called for that purpose, whichever occurs first.

At the OCM held on 5 February 2019, Item CS07-02/19 Consideration of Motions Received at the Annual General Meeting of Electors’ was presented to Council for consideration. Council resolved the following:

“That the Motion be deferred to the next Council meeting to ensure all Electors’ are notified of the report being presented at the next Ordinary Council Meeting.”

Administration confirms that all the Movers of the Motions have now been notified.

Detail

All Motions presented at the AGM held on 3 December 2018, were received in writing prior to the meeting. Motions were displayed on the screen at the meeting and five Motions were put, and carried as below along with Administration’s comments:

1.         My name is Chris Webb of Gnangara, and I would like to put forward a motion that the City of Wanneroo Council resolves that the City of Wanneroo make an annual payment in perpetuity to the West Australian Ratepayers and Residents Association Incorporated matching dollar for dollar amount as the subscription fees paid by the City of Wanneroo to the West Australian Local Government Association in the applicable year and the Council directs the CEO to immediately implement this resolution. Time to give the Community a say.

Response:

The Motion provided has requested funding for a particular Association. The Association is named in the Motion; however, no further information was provided to the meeting. The City did search for further detail regarding the Association but at the time of the AGM, was not successful. It is known that other local governments have also received a similar Motion at their Annual General Meeting of Electors.

After further investigation, Administration has identified that the Association was not incorporated until after the City’s AGM. The now, Western Australian Ratepayers & Residents Association Incorporated, was incorporated on 7 December 2018, following the City’s AGM of 3 December 2018.

The Association produced a media release, which states that:

“The group has been formed to represent the significant number of community groups and individuals who are concerned with the increasing planning, urban development and community resource challenges faced by ratepayers and residents in their fast-growing communities.”

The Motion has related their request for funding with the City’s WA Local Government Association (WALGA) membership. WALGA is the peak industry body for local government and undertakes advocacy on behalf of local government as well as providing a suite of services.  Membership is not mandatory and is reviewed annually by the City of Wanneroo. In particular, the service lines are reconsidered annually to ensure value for money as the City of Wanneroo funds are carefully managed.

It is worth noting that within the City, there are the following Ratepayer Associations in existence:

·          Alkimos Beach Progress Association;

·          Alkimos Progress Association Inc;

·          Jindowie Residents Association Inc;

·          Trinity at Alkimos Ratepayers Association;

·          Banksia Grove Residents Association;

·          Carramar and Tapping Residents Association;

·          Brighton Estate Residents Association;

·          North Wanneroo Residents Association;

·          Girrawheen/Koondoola Ratepayers Association;

·          Gnangara Residents Action Group;

·          Two Rocks/ Yanchep Residents Association;

·          Landsdale Residents Association;

·          Kingsway Residents Association;

·          Mindarie Ratepayers and Residents Association;

·          Ridgewood Residents Association; and

·          Tamala Park Residents Association.

It is also unclear whether there is any relationship between these ratepayer groups and the Association named in the Motion. The above mentioned Ratepayer Associations meet on a regular basis and are able to utilise the City’s facilities for their meetings.

One of the comments made in the Motion is about the community having a say. Community engagement is a very important aspect of the City’s operations and the Council process. Community engagement is recognised in the Strategic Community Plan and operationally via the Community Engagement Policy and associated procedures. Consultation is included wherever possible and is described within all Council Reports.

The main statutory driver for all local governments is the Local Government Act 1995. This Act is currently under review and public consultation is part of this review. Importantly as per the Act, Section 1.3 (2):

“(2) This Act is intended to result in —

(a)     better decision-making by local governments; and

(b)     greater community participation in the decisions and affairs of local governments; and

(c)     greater accountability of local governments to their communities; and

(d)     more efficient and effective local government.”

The City works very hard to balance the needs of all stakeholders. Local Government also utilises other statutes such as the Planning and Development Act 2005, which also requirements community engagement and consultation.

2.         That the City in developing plans for future use of the Quinns Rocks Caravan Park site on Lot 211 Quinns Road, Mindarie, considers options for public use instead of commercial development – including picnic and play areas and additional car parking, all within the existing cleared footprint – ideas raised at recent consultative workshops with local residents.

Response:

The City has recently completed the first phase of community consultation, in the form of workshops. The purpose of this consultation was to seek feedback on the potential for future development of this site, specifically the area previously occupied by a caravan park.   The comments and suggestions raised at the AGM will be included in the comments collected so far. 

An online survey is expected to be launched in February this year, which builds upon the outcomes of the workshops and provides further opportunities for interested parties to provide feedback. Once consultation has closed, the outcomes will be included for consideration in a detailed business case providing analysis and recommendations for the future of the site.

3.         That the City reviews its plan for prescribed burning in 20 local bushland reserves given the potential ecological impact of burning and considers alternatives including effective weed management, community surveillance and rapid fire suppression.

 

Response:

Since 2017 the State Hazard Plan for Fire (Westplan Fire) required an integrated Bushfire Risk Management Plan (BRMP) to be developed for each Local Government area, outlining a strategy to treat bushfire risk across all land tenures.  Local Government, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions – Parks and Wildlife Service and Forest Products Commission are all required to participate and contribute to the locally developed BRMP.

One of the inputs for developing the BRMP is the mapping of all land tenures to identify the fire risk level.  In the City of Wanneroo, a significant number of City-managed reserves have been identified through the BRMP as either very high or extreme fire risk. This requires that the City identify processes to assess, treat and monitor bushfire risk on this land. 

While it is acknowledged that the issue of prescribed burning has recently caused some concern for residents, the City has been undertaking prescribed burning as a bushfire mitigation measure on City-managed land for many years.  Where other effective fire mitigation measures are able to be deployed to minimise bushfire risk, these are utilised. 

There are differing opinions in the scientific community as to the merits of burning from a conservation view point. However, the current accepted practice is to use fire as a management and mitigation tool. This is accepted by State Government agencies such as the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services and other Local Governments.

In assessing the risk treatment measures the City considers both the risk to the public and the conservation values associated with the measures. The overriding consideration in designing and implementing a bushfire mitigation program is the risk to the public. When conservation values conflict with public risk, the public risk will take precedence.

The City employs suitably qualified and experienced staff who manage the environmental aspects of land managed by the City. These officers liaise with a range of stakeholders including DBCA on environmental management and also provide input into the City’s fire mitigation program.

The City has a comprehensive and well-funded weed management program. After the completion of any prescribed burning, a weed program is commenced.  Weeds are not the major source of fuel loads for the reserves and pristine reserves also require mitigation works.  The City is conscious of concerns in relation to utilising prescribed burning from an ecological perspective and endeavours to utilise other types of mitigation measures where suitable.

4.         That the City reviews its investment policy to align its investments with its goal of action on climate change. Specifically, we call on the City to end investments supporting fossil fuel extraction and production that threatens climate stability and instead support investments enabling a more sustainable future such as energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Response:

The investment policy is due for review in 2020, however; we will be endeavouring to bring this review forward. In the meantime, the City has embraced suggestions presented in the motion and now preferences investing funds with those financial institutions that do not support the fossil fuel industry. This is subject to returns not being adversely affected

5.         That Council adopt measures to continue the approaches laid out in its Energy Action plan 2007-2012 and both report on and advocate for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across both corporate and community areas.

Response:

In line with the community’s desire for environmental sustainability to be achieved, as highlighted in the City’s Strategic Community Plan, the City adopted its Energy Reduction Plan 2017-2020 (ERP) on 30 May 2017.

The ERP replaces the Energy Action Plan 2007-2012, and provides a framework to deliver energy reduction strategies across the City as well as identifying key actions that need to be progressed in order for the City to realise energy savings into the future. It is envisaged that the ongoing implementation of the Energy Reduction Plan will become the catalyst for behaviour change both within and external of the City of Wanneroo as an organisation. Whilst future stages of the implementation of the Plan will target behaviour change of residents and employees of the City to think and act in more sustainable ways, the current focus of the Plan is to ensure that the City as an organisation becomes more sustainable in its operations. The conduct of an energy audit as recommended by the ERP has been conducted and an energy monitoring regime commenced on a number of key City facilities. The City is committed to implementation of the ERP.

Issue

To consider the outcomes of the tender for the provision of On Call Strategic Advocacy Advice for the City.

Background

With the Federal election expected to be in May 2019 it is considered appropriate that the City seeks access to on call strategic advocacy advice services to assist in advocating for key projects.

·    Category 2 - National advocacy advice (general); and

·    Category 3 - Sector specific advice on recreational and sporting facility advocacy.

 

This approach ensured that the City would have access to different areas of expertise. It was a requirement that all potential providers were registered lobbyists with Government to ensure compliance with Code of Conduct standards.

Detail

Tender No. 19010 for the provision of On Call Strategic Advocacy Advice was advertised on Saturday 16 January and closed 5 February 2019.

Essential details of the proposed contract are as follows:

Issue

To consider the City of Wanneroo's (City) Audit and Risk Committee’s recommendation to adopt the City’s Compliance Audit Return (CAR) for the period 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018.

Background

Local government authorities are required to carry out an annual compliance audit against specific requirements of the Local Government Act 1995 and relevant regulations that are set out in the CAR which must then be submitted (including a certified version) to the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (the Department) by 31 March 2019.

The Audit and Risk Committee reviewed the completed CAR (Attachment 1) and the Internal Audit Report provided by William Buck to support management responses on 19 February 2019.  The Audit and Risk Committee recommends Council adopt the CAR for submission to the Department.

Detail

Compliance Audit Return

The Department released the CAR on its Smart Hub which is a secure and centralised portal for all Western Australian local governments to connect to, and interact with, the Department on 2 January 2019.

Relevant sections of the CAR were allocated to Managers for completion using the City’s compliance software.  Responses were provided to the City’s Internal Auditors, William Buck for review.

Internal Audit

An internal audit of the CAR was undertaken by William Buck (Audit) which included limited risk-based sample testing of 32 requirements from the 9 categories presented in the CAR.  The objective of the Audit was to consider the adequacy and effectiveness of key controls within the City to meet its compliance obligations.

Consultation

Managers were requested to complete CAR questions relevant to their service unit with approval and sign-off by the Director responsible for the function prior to being amalgamated into the final CAR.

William Buck consulted with the relevant stakeholders to review the processes supporting the CAR responses and any management concerns were discussed and documented.

The Audit and Risk Committee reviewed the CAR and the Audit report, and recommends Council adopt the CAR for submission to the Department.

Comment

Council should note that there was on incidence of non-compliance identified in the CAR which related to an employee not submitting their Primary Return within three months of commencing employment with the City.  This non-compliance has been reported to the relevant authority.

The internal audit identified four Performance Improvement opportunities which related to:-

·          The reconciliation of the Primary and Annual Returns Register against a register of designated officers to ensure that all designated officers lodge a return in a timely manner;

·          Establish a register to capture “property disposals” relative to section 5.75(1) of the Local Government Act 1995 and Regulation 22 and establish a procedure or work instruction to capture the necessary information;

·          Conducting orientation sessions with CAR respondents to ensure that appropriate comments are captured to support CAR responses; and

·          Excluding gifts from WALGA on the Notifiable Gifts Register as these are exempt under Local Government (Administration) Regulations 34B (1) (d) and maintain these gifts in a separate register if the City decides to retain the gifts as a point of good governance and better practice.

Overall based on the limited testing performed on 32 responses, there were no areas identified where management responses to the CAR questions contradicted the supporting evidence tested on the current processes for the City.

Statutory Compliance

The compliance programs of a local government are a strong indication of attitude towards meeting legislative requirements.  A function of the Audit and Risk Committee in regard to monitoring compliance programs typically includes monitoring compliance with legislation and regulations, reviewing the CAR and reporting to Council the results of that review.

Local Government (Audit) Regulations 1996 refer:-

"14.   Compliance audits by local governments

(1)     A local government is to carry out a compliance audit for the period 1 January to 31 December each year.

(2)     After carrying out compliance audit the local government is to prepare a compliance audit return in a form approved by the Minister.

(3A)  The local government's audit committee is to review the compliance audit return and is to report to the council the results of that review.

(3)     After the audit committee has reported to the council under sub-regulation (3A), the compliance audit return is to be –

(a)     presented to the council at a meeting of the council; and

(b)     adopted by the council; and

(c)     recorded in the minutes of the meeting at which it was adopted."

A version of the CAR must be certified by the Chief Executive Officer and the Mayor in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 15 of the Local Government (Audit) Regulations 1996 which states:

“15. Certified copy of compliance audit return and other documents to be given to Departmental CEO

(1)     After the compliance audit return has been presented to the council in accordance with regulation 14(3) a certified copy of the return together with —

Issue

To consider the City of Wanneroo’s (the City) response to the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (the Department) discussion paper on Phase 2 of the review of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act).

Background

On 20 June 2017, the Minister for the Department announced a review of the Act and relevant Regulations. This is the first major review since the Act was introduced more than 20 years ago.  The review is supported by a reference group with representation from the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA), Local Government Professionals Australia (WA), Western Australian Electoral Commission, Western Australian Council of Social Service, Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the WA Rangers Association.

In October 2017, the City responded to an invitation from WALGA and the Department to provide submissions on their Discussion Papers relating to Phase 1 of the review.  The Discussion Papers reflected on a number of proposals for Act amendments based on long-standing positions proposed by the sector and sector representatives. 

On 1 August 2018 the Department announced its policy positions following the consultation period and the drafting of an Amendment Bill including the priority reforms for Phase One is now underway. The Policy positions are available for view on the Department’s website at https://www.dlgsc.wa.gov.au/localgovernment/strengthening/Pages/Local-Government-Act-Review-policy-positions.aspx.

The next stage of the review focuses on delivering for the community based on the themes Agile, Smart and Inclusive.

Agile

Agile includes topics that focus specifically on how local governments can best use their resources to adapt to changing conditions. It is important to strike a balance between community expectations, the practical limitations of revenue and expenditure and external pressures.

Smart

Smart includes topics that focus specifically on enabling local governments to better meet the needs and expectations of their communities through being transparent and accountable.

Inclusive

Inclusive focuses specifically on local governments representing and involving their communities in decision-making. As the tier of government closest to the community, there is an expectation that local governments represent the whole community, recognise diversity within their district and are responsive to community needs.

Detail

Each of the themes consider three key topic areas and local governments and community members have been invited to have a say on some or all of these reform areas through a survey published to the Departments website.

The nine themes are:-

·          Beneficial Enterprises;

·          Financial Management;

·          Rates, Fees and Charges;

·          Administrative Efficiencies;

·          Council Meetings;

·          Interventions;

·          Community Engagement;

·          Complaints Management; and

·          Elections.

Consultation

The Department held consultation workshops with local governments and the community throughout the latter part of 2018 on Phase 2 of the review and the City held a workshop with key Administration officers to develop responses for consideration by Council.

The Executive Manager Governance and Legal presented Administration’s proposed submission in respect of the issues and questions raised by the Department in the Phase 2 Discussion Paper and all comments received from Elected Members have been incorporated into the proposed submission set out in Attachment 1.

Comment

The Act provides some autonomy to local governments but is also quite prescriptive regulatory requirements.  It is complex and lengthy legislation that is further supported by 13 sets of regulations.  The regulatory framework is cumbersome and in certain areas provides for processes that provide little value or do not serve the intended purpose.  The legislative restrictions on local government limit the ability to act with agility and to deliver services to meet the needs (and ever changing expectations) of the community efficiently and on a cost effective basis.  

The Department’s Summary Discussion Papers provide detailed insight into the specific areas of the Act that can be improved or considered for change and these were circulated to Elected Members previouslyFor further reference Elected Members are directed to the Department’s website at https://www.dlgsc.wa.gov.au/localgovernment/strengthening/Pages /LG-Act-Review.aspx.

The proposed submission details the City’s responses to the Department’s questions, the appropriate changes to the Act that will deliver a robust regulatory framework but also enhance the ability for local governments to act autonomously in determining how best to meet the needs and expectations of their communities.  Council is to consider the proposed submission set out at Attachment 1.

Statutory Compliance

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027:

 “4     Civic Leadership

Risk Management Considerations

There are no existing Strategic or Corporate risks within the City's existing risk registers which relate to the issues contained in this report.

Policy Implications

Amendments to the Act as a result of this review may impact on a number of the City’s current policies and procedures.  These will be reviewed to meet the new legislative requirements. 

Financial Implications

Any changes to legislation requiring a change in process may result in a subsequent financial impost to the City.

CITY OF WANNEROO Agenda OF Elected Members' Briefing Session 26 February, 2019                        648

3.28  Panel of Pre-Qualified Legal Services Providers

File Ref:                                              11575 – 19/41879

Responsible Officer:                           Executive Manager Governance and Legal

Disclosure of Interest:                         Nil

Issue

To consider the recommendation to appoint respondents to the Request for Panel of Pre-Qualified Legal Services Providers #17188 (Request for Panel) to the City’s Legal Panel (Panel).

Background

The City’s legal panel was established in 2013 and each of the respective contracts expired in 2017.

 

Notwithstanding that procurement of legal services is exempt under the City’s Purchasing Policy and that Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) has established a panel for legal services, it is considered appropriate for the City to establish its own Panel of legal services providers to ensure value for money, ability to access additional services that will help assist and develop the legal team and knowledge base across the City.

 

The City seeks to establish the panel of pre‑qualified suppliers to supply legal services to the City in accordance with Part 4 - Division 3 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 (WA).

 

The Panel will consist of suitably qualified and experienced legal services providers that can be engaged by the City to provide legal services as and when required to meet the City’s legal requirements. It is intended that the Panel will provide the City with access to legal services efficiently and cost effectively.

Detail

The Request for Panel document is available in the Elected Members’ reading room for perusal by Elected Members.  The Request for Panel was advertised on Saturday 25 August 2018 and closed on 19 September 2018.  A copy of the Request for Panel (including the enclosed Agreement) is available for Elected Members to review in the Elected Members reading room.

 

Operation of Legal Panel and Provision of Legal Services Agreement

 

Elected Members are to note that the General Conditions of Contract – Operation of Legal Panel and Provision of Legal Services Agreement (Agreement) included in the Request for Panel provides for the City to establish long term contractual arrangements with the Panel members that allows the City to benefit from both the Panel member’s legal expertise and the value add services no or minimal cost.  The Service Level Agreement set out in Schedule 3 includes specific key performance indicators that the Panel members will be required to report against and which the City will assess their respective performance on an annual basis.  The Agreement will provide the City with sufficient flexibility in respect of engaging Panel members and certainty in relation to costs (based on rates, fixed price quotes or other innovative pricing models).

 

 

 

Legal Panel

 

The City identified that it has, or will have, an ongoing need for the provision of specialised legal services by external legal service suppliers in the following broad Areas of Law:

·    Local government law and administrative law;

·    Contract law and procurement;

·    Corporate and commercial law;

·    Dispute resolution and litigation;

·    Employment law and occupational health and safety;

·    Enforcement and prosecution;

·    Land acquisition and compensation;

·    Planning, environment, heritage and native title;

·    Property and development; and

·    Full service law firm (providing services across all or majority of Areas of Law).

 

Wherever possible, the City’s preference is to identify pre-qualified suppliers who can provide legal services in several of the above categories.  On this basis, the City anticipates that the total number of pre-qualified suppliers to be appointed to the Panel will not exceed twelve however no more than three pre-qualified suppliers will be appointed to any Area of Law except for Full service law firms to which no limit will apply.

 

In establishing the Panel, the City seeks to appoint pre-qualified suppliers who:

·    are suitably qualified and experienced to provide legal services to the City in the nominated Area of Law;

·    demonstrate a good understanding of the City’s operations, and the statutory and regulatory framework within which the City operates;

·    are seeking to establish an ongoing relationship with the City, including by allocating a dedicated relationship partner and key personnel;

·    can offer value for money in providing the legal services to the City, including through competitive hourly rates, fixed quote pricing and innovative alternative pricing models;

·    are prepared to provide the City with value added services at no cost (or nominal cost), some of which may include one or more of the following:

free preliminary, verbal advice where no follow-up advice is required;

in house seminars and training;

invitations to client seminars and events;

newsletters, legal publications and access to precedent documents; and

media release reviews; and

·    can comply with the City’s invoicing, reporting and other requirements (as detailed in the Agreement including meeting the Service Level requirements).

·    a maximum of 3 respondents (in order of ranking) are to be invited on the Panel for each respective Area of Law except for Full Service Firm category, where no limit will apply.

 

In accordance with the Evaluation Plan, the PET evaluated the submissions as follows:

·    each PET member evaluated the following criteria:

relevant knowledge, qualifications and experience; and

understanding of regulatory framework for local government; and

·    the PET Chair (Executive Manager Governance and Legal) evaluated the value for money, competitive hourly rates, other fees and charges and the value add services.

Statutory Compliance

Submissions were invited and evaluated in accordance with the requirements of Part 4 - Division 3 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 (WA).

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027:

 “4     Civic Leadership

4.2    Good Governance

4.2.1  Provide transparent and accountable governance and leadership

Enterprise Risk Management Considerations

There are no existing Strategic or Corporate risks within the City’s existing risk registers which relate to the issues contained in this report.

 

Commercial and Financial Risk

The following submitters provided departures to the Agreement terms which were reviewed by Administration with satisfactory outcomes:

·      Clayton Utz

·      Hall & Wilcox

·      Minter Ellison

 

Notwithstanding that the submission from HWL Ebsworth satisfied the overall value for money assessment, no response was received from HWL Ebsworth to the City’s request to negotiation contract terms nor was any response received to the City’s request to extend their submission validity period.  On this basis HWL Ebsworth is not recommended for appointment to the Panel.

 

 

No financial risk assessment of the recommended Panel members was undertaken as all services will be engaged by purchase orders and payment only made following delivery and receipt of procured services.

 

Social and Environmental (Sustainable Procurement) Considerations

The Request for Panel specifically required each respondent to detail the pro bono legal services they provide the community, including examples and how such services can be accessed.  The purpose for this is to enable the City’s Legal team to engage in discussions with each Panel member to provide their pro bono services for the City of Wanneroo community and potentially from the City of Wanneroo offices and other locations.

Policy Implications

The Request for Panel was invited and evaluated in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy.

Financial (Budget) Implications

The costs associated with engaging the Panel are budgeted for in the Legal Expenses Operational Budget.

Voting Requirements
