The current Local Law provides for the regulation, control and management of signs within the district and is supported by the City’s District Planning Scheme No 2 (DPS 2) sign provisions. The effect of the Local Law is to establish the requirements with which any person seeking to erect a sign within the district must comply and the means of enforcing those requirements.

Scheme Provisions

Under DPS 2 Advertisements are classed as "development" and consequently require the planning approval of Council unless specifically exempt.

Part 5 of the Scheme outlines the special controls with regard to the control of advertising signs. The objectives include:

· To ensure that the visual quality and character of particular localities and transport corridors are not eroded.

· To achieve signs that are not misleading or dangerous to vehicles or pedestrians

· To minimise the total area of impact of out door advertising commensurate with the realistic needs of commerce for such advertising

· To prohibit outdoor advertising which is considered to be superfluous or unnecessary by virtue of their number, colour, height, prominence, visual impact, size, relevance to the premises on which they are located, number and content

· Reduce and minimise clutter and

· Promote a high standard of design.

Schedule 4 of the Scheme outlines exempted advertisements. These provisions are currently considered acceptable and are not subject to change as part of the review.

Review of Signage Provisions

The City has undertaken a review of its Planning Scheme provisions and Local Law relating to private advertising signage. The review identified several areas that were considered to be inadequately covered. Accordingly it was considered that a DPASP should be prepared in conjunction with a design manual to better address signage and private advertising requirements in the City of Wanneroo.

The project brief for the preparation of this policy included the need for a review of signage provisions of District Planning Scheme No 2 recommending relevant amendments and a review of the current local law on signage, also including recommended amendments. The project brief also required the control of offensive advertising, third party advertising, identification of obsolete signage standards and appropriate signage for land and estate development.

Chris Antill, Planning and Urban Design Consultant, was appointed to undertake the project.

Detail

A DPASP has now been drafted with a view to improving the standard and requirements for signs within the City of Wanneroo (refer Attachment 1). The policy recognises the legitimate need for signs to give direction and to identify and promote businesses and buildings. There is an awareness of the responsibility to prevent the proliferation of advertising signage, to ensure that the visual impact of signage is properly assessed and managed, that significant characteristics of buildings, streetscapes, views, vistas and natural features are protected, and to ensure that signs are not hazardous to pedestrians or motorists.

The DPASP details the aims and objectives of the policy, and specifies criteria and performance standards.

Considerations relevant to the determination of an application for Planning Approval include:

· The category or type of advertisement

· The zoning of the land where the advertisement is to be located

· The standard specifications for the category or type of advertisement

· The acceptable deviation from the standard specification

· The matters which Council is directed to have regard to under the scheme

· In some specific cases (such as signs considered to be third party advertising) the content of a sign; and

· The manner of and position in which, the advertisement is to be displayed.

The DPASP also includes a signs/zoning table which describes the sign types that may be permitted in each zone.

In some instances signage strategies may also be required for a site showing the proposed location and size of all existing and proposed advertising signs. All subsequent applications for advertising signs on the site must be in accordance with the approved strategy.

Standards common to all signs include:

· They should not pose a threat to public safety or health

· They should not extend beyond any boundary of a lot except with the approval of Council

· If illuminated, they should not cause a nuisance by way of light spillage, not interfere with traffic signals and have a minimum clearance or headroom of 2.75m above natural ground level.

Comment

An increase in the number of applications for signs, changes in sign technology and design types has prompted the City to review its Planning Scheme Provisions and Local Laws relating to private advertising signage. The review identified various changes that were required and the need for a policy and guidelines to be prepared to address those areas that are not currently covered.

It should be noted that the current DPASP is considered to be a working draft only. There are still various aspects of the document that require further consideration and consequently have been left out of this working draft. These include estate signs and entry statements, signs along scenic routes, signs in special areas, etc. Despite its preliminary nature, it is important to undertake consultation with key stakeholders (including the public) at an early stage to ensure that all relevant policy considerations are addressed.

When the DPASP has been finalised it should be noted that a revision of the Local Law and Scheme will be undertaken to bring them into line with the policy. A user manual will also be prepared to assist those in the preparation of signage applications.

Proposed Programme and Consultation Strategy

The following programme is proposed for progressing this matter:

· 18 December 2001:

Council decision to undertake consultation with key stakeholders eg development industry, REIWA, Wanneroo Small Business Association etc. (Letters, including copy of working draft sent to key stakeholders).

· Early February 2002:

Consultation with key stakeholders completed.

· March 2002:

Report to Council on outcome of consultations and including draft Policy for adoption under DPS 2.

· Late March 2002:

Release of draft Policy for public comments period.

· Late April 2002:

Finish of public comment period.

· June 2002:

Report to Council on outcome of public comment period; includes proposed final Policy for adoption. Amendments initiated to DPS 2 and Signs Local Law to align these to new Policy. Prepare manual/guidelines document.

· July 2002:

WAPC approval to advertise DPS 2 amendments. Scheme amendments and Local Law changes advertised for public comment.

· August 2002:

Close of public comment period.

· October 2002:

Report to Council regarding public comments received. DPS 2 amendment forwarded to WAPC; Local Law change finalised.

· December 2002:

DPS 2 amendment gazetted.

· December 2002 to January 2003:

Updated manual/guidelines document if necessary.

It should be noted that this programme makes some allowance for the Christmas/New Year break. It should also be noted that it is possible that, rather than undertaking the changes to DPS 2 and the Local Law following adoption of the final Policy, it may be decided that it may be preferable to undertake those changes concurrent with the preparation of the Policy, eg to have a ‘package’ advertised which comprises the draft Policy, the proposed DPS 2 amendment and the proposed Local Law change. This can be considered further in due course.

Statutory Compliance

Clause 8.11 of the Scheme grants Council the power to make local planning policies relating to the whole or any part of the Scheme area. Subclause 8.11.3 details the review procedures to be observed prior to the final adoption of a planning policy, which includes a 21 day public comment period, following which Council must give further consideration to the proposed policy. At this stage, the DPASP should be regarded as a working draft and should be developed further after consultation with industry and other key stakeholders.

ATTACHMENT 1

DRAFT City of Wanneroo

Private Advertising / Signage Policy

____________________________________________________________________

Purpose of the Policy

The principle purpose of this Policy is to set out the approach of the City of Wanneroo to the management of private outdoor advertising within the municipality, and to provide assistance to the Council when determining an application for Planning Approval to erect, place or display an advertisement on private land under the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 (“the Scheme”).

Advertisements are classed as “development” under the Scheme, and require the Planning Approval of the Council unless specifically exempted.

Signage is an important element of Wanneroo’s built environment. This Policy provides assistance to applicants and the Council by setting out the standards which apply to different types of advertisement, the considerations which the Council should have regard to in determining an application for Planning Approval for an advertisement on private land, and the conditions which may be appropriately imposed on the approval of an application for Planning Approval for an advertisement.

The City recognises the legitimate need for signs to give direction, and to identify and promote businesses and buildings. It is also aware of its responsibility to the wider community to prevent the proliferation of advertising signage, to ensure that the visual impact of signage is properly assessed and managed, that significant characteristics of buildings, streetscapes, views, vistas and natural features are protected, and to ensure that signs are not hazardous to pedestrians or motorists.

Outdoor advertising is about communicating messages to consumers, and it comes in many forms. It can be printed, painted, projected or illuminated onto a wide variety of surfaces. Illuminated signs can include neon tubes, floodlights, or back lights. Flags, bunting, awnings, tethered balloons, pylon signs, window signs, roof signs, hoardings, fibre optics, video, flashing and chasing signs and animated signs are all examples of the broad scope of advertising that we encounter every day of our lives.

This Policy has been made in accordance with Clause 8.11 of the Scheme. The Policy does not bind the Council in respect of any application for Planning Approval but the Council is to have due regard to the provisions of the Policy and the objectives which the Policy is designed to achieve before making its determination.

In this Policy, the term “sign” refers to “advertisement”, whether associated with a structure or not.

Policy Objectives

This Policy has the following objectives:

· To encourage signs that are well designed and positioned, proportionate and appropriate to their location, and which enhance the visual quality, amenity and safety of the City;

· To encourage wherever possible signage to be integrated with the architecture and structure of the supporting building;

· To encourage signs that complement, and are compatible with, both the development on which they are displayed, the architectural style and use of the building, and the character of the surrounding locality;

· To ensure signs do not adversely affect the area with their appearance, size, illumination, overshadowing or in any other way;

· To encourage / allow signs that are adequate and effective, recognising the legitimate need for signs to give direction, and to identify and promote businesses;

· To encourage innovation, uniqueness and creativity in signage in appropriate areas of the City;

· To regulate to minimise the extent of visual clutter caused by the unnecessary proliferation of signs, and to encourage the rationalisation of existing and proposed signs;

· To ensure that signs are not designed or located so as to cause a danger or unnecessary distraction to passing motorists; and

· To ensure that the location and design of signs are consistent with road safety principles.

General Policy

· Signs erected on or adjacent to a building shall be for the purpose of the identification of the building, its ownership or the other major activities carried on within it. Signs for general advertising purposes may only be permitted where it can be demonstrated that the visual quality, amenity and safety of the City will be enhanced, or at the very least, not diminished;

· Signs should be visually interesting and exhibit a high level of design quality;

· When assessing the visual quality of a sign, consideration will be given to the appropriateness of its position, location, design, shape, colour(s), materials, illumination / lighting and any articulated or moving components;

· Signs erected on or adjacent to buildings shall generally be an integral part of the design and scale of the building and shall have regard to the materials, finishes, colours and fenestration of the building, and ensure that architectural features of the building are not obscured;

· Signs on buildings or on building sites which indicate the street number, and if applicable, the building name, are encouraged;

· Signs shall be located and designed so that they do not become a danger to motorists through creating a distraction;

· Signs shall be compatible with the style, scale and character of the surrounding streetscape, and the predominant uses within the locality. Signs should be located and designed so that sightlines, existing signs and architectural features of buildings are not obstructed. Consideration shall be given to the number and type of existing signs in the locality so as to avoid visual clutter;

· In considering innovative design proposals for signs not envisaged by this Policy, or where there are issues of interpretation, the City of Wanneroo will have regard to the design excellence of the proposed sign and its compliance with all the relevant objectives of this Policy; and

· Signs on buildings of heritage and cultural significance shall respect the building’s architectural style, character and integrity. Any documentation regarding the building’s heritage significance shall be used as a guide to assess the suitability of the proposed sign. Particular regard shall be given to the sign’s design, materials, style and method of attachment to the building.

Considerations in Determining Applications for Planning Approval

Considerations relevant to the determination of an application for Planning Approval for an advertisement include :

· The category or type of advertisement;

· The zoning of the land where the advertisement is to be located;

· The standard specifications for the category or type of advertisement;

· The acceptable deviation from the standard specification;

· The matters which Council is directed to have regard to under the Scheme;

· In some specific cases (such as signs considered to be offensive and third party advertising) the content of a sign; and

· The manner of, and position in which, the advertisement is to be displayed.

Signs / Zoning Table

The following “Signs / Zoning Table” (Table 1) prescribes the sign types which may be permitted in each zone. The applicability is determined by cross reference between the list of “Sign Types” shown on the left hand side of the Table and the list of “Zones” shown at the top of the Table. The symbols used in the Table have the following meanings:

“x” means that the sign type is not permitted by the Scheme. A Sign Type Not Listed is not permitted by the Scheme. However, the Council may determine in which zone(s), if any, the Sign Type Not Listed may be considered. In such cases, the Sign Type Not Listed shall be treated as an “ss” symbol under Table 1.

“a” means that the sign type is permitted by the Scheme subject to the sign type complying with the standards and provisions set out in this Policy, and Local Law XX. Planning Approval is nevertheless required.

“e” Exempted Advertising Sign, and means that the sign type is permitted by the Scheme subject to the sign type complying with the standards and provisions set out in this Policy, and Local Law XX. No application for Planning Approval is required.

“ss” means that the sign type is not permitted by the Scheme unless a Signage Strategy for the whole site, acceptable to the Council, is submitted.

“na” Not Applicable, and means that the particular sign type is not relevant to the associated land use.

Prohibited Signs

The following sign types are prohibited within the City of Wanneroo :

· Above roof or sky signs

· Hoardings

Existing authorised advertising signs may, however, continue to be displayed in accordance with any licence or approval previously granted by the Council, unless specifically required to be removed under the provisions of Clauses 5.1.6 and 5.1.7 of the Scheme.

In general, previous approvals granted under the Council’s Local Laws are specific to a particular display, and therefore where any changes to the display are proposed, the development shall comply with the current requirements.

Acceptable Deviation (Use of Council Discretion)

Council may exercise its discretion to approve a deviation from the specific standards of the previous section subject to the applicant demonstrating that the likely effect of the location, height, bulk, scale, orientation, number, appearance and/or content of the advertisement will not :

· conflict with, or detrimentally affect, the physical or visual amenity of the locality; or

· interfere with pedestrian or traffic safety.

Proposed Placement of Advertisements

An advertisement shall not be displayed where :

· it would detract from the aesthetic environment of a park or other land used by the public for recreation;

· in the case of an internally illuminated advertisement, its display would not cause glare or dazzle or would otherwise distract the driver of a passing vehicle;

· in the case of an externally illuminated advertisement, the light would not be directed solely onto the device and its structural surround and the light source be so shielded that glare would not occur or extend beyond the advertisement and cause the driver of a passing vehicle to be distracted;

· in the case of an illuminated advertisement, it may be confused with or mistaken for the stop or tail light of a vehicle or vehicles;

· it significantly obstructs or obscures the view of a lake, the sea or any other natural feature of beauty;

· it would detrimentally affect the amenity of the area;

· it would detrimentally affect the significance and aesthetics of a Heritage Area or Place;

· it would be likely to interfere with, or cause risk or danger to traffic on a thoroughfare by virtue of the fact that it :

- may be mistaken or confused with, or obstruct or reduce the effectiveness of any traffic control device;

- would invite traffic to turn and would be sited so close to the turning point that there would not be reasonable time for a driver of a vehicle to signal and turn safely;

- would invite traffic to move contrary to any traffic control device;

- would invite traffic to turn where there is fast moving traffic and no turning lane;

- may obscure the vision of a person driving a vehicle.

Signage Strategies

Applications for :

· new commercial or industrial-type developments;

· new developments within a commercial, industrial or centre zone; or

· other applications as required by this Policy (See Table 1), shall include a Signage Strategy (SS) for the whole of the subject site showing the proposed location and size of all existing and proposed advertising signs (the actual contents and structural details are not required) for the site. The Strategy should also show the outline of all buildings, car parking areas, landscaped areas and vehicular access/egress points to the site. All subsequent applications for advertising signs on the site must be in accordance with the approved SS.

An application for an advertising sign on a lot in respect of which there is an approved SS shall be in accordance with the approved SS, or shall include a new SS.

In considering an application for an advertising sign on a lot in respect of which there is an approved SS, Council shall have regard to the approved SS.

A Signage Strategy may be either “Simple” or “Complex” and Council shall determine which form will be required of the applicant. In general terms, the following shall apply:

Simple Signage Strategy :

A Simple SS will be required to be lodged for new developments which contain any of the following signage types :

· Cabinet signs

· Ground-based signs

· Name plates

· Rural producer’s sign

· Window signs

The Simple SS should take the form of :

· A clear illustration of where the sign(s) are proposed to be placed on the site or building. This could be a scaled drawing of the sign superimposed onto a recent photograph of the site and/or building; and/or

· A sketch on your builder’s plans and/or elevations; and/or

· A perspective drawing.

The illustration must also show the relation of the sign to neighbouring properties, so that Council can determine if it is likely to have any negative physical or visual effects on those properties.

Complex Signage Strategy :

A Complex SS will be required to be lodged for new developments which contain any of the following signage types :

· Hoarding sign

· Horizontal sign

· Projected photographic sign

· Projecting vertical sign

· Pylon sign

· Roof sign

· Semaphore sign

· Under verandah sign

· Sun blind sign

· Tethered sign

· 3D replica object / shape sign

· tower sign

· verandah fascia sign

· verandah sign

The Complex SS should take the form of :

· A site plan showing clearly where each sign is to be located in relation to the building(s), site boundaries and neighbouring properties. The plan must include a scale and north point, lot boundaries, street and road names and existing signs to be retained or removed.

· A perspective drawing or photomontage showing neighbouring buildings and sites, lot boundaries, existing signs to be retained or removed.

· A sheet illustrating each sign to be installed and clearly showing dimensions, surface areas, heights above ground and sign content.

· Additional notes in support of your application.

The illustration must also show the relation of the sign to neighbouring properties, so that Council can determine if it is likely to have any negative physical or visual effects on those properties.

Exempted Advertising Signs

Subject to the provisions of the Main Roads WA (Control of Signs) Regulations 1983, and notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 5.1.2 of the Scheme, the Council’s prior planning approval is not required in respect of those advertising signs listed in Schedule 4 of the Scheme (“Exempted Advertisements”).

The exemptions listed in Schedule 4 do not, however, apply to land, buildings, objects, structures and places referred to in Clauses 5.2 (heritage places) and 5.3 (significant landscapes / environment) of the Scheme.

Signs in Special Areas (Where a desirable environmental character needs to be protected)

Are there any areas of special character which deserve special attention?

Miscellaneous Matters

1. Signs Along Scenic Routes

What is the identified problem here which requires standards to be set?

2. Real Estate Development Signs

These are signs erected on new residential, industrial, commercial, tourist, special residential, or special rural developments or subdivisions. They are generally large signs, and contain information such as the name of the estate, plan of the subdivision, details of the facilities on offer, the number of lots, prices, auction details, contact names and numbers etc.

Each subdivision or development shall be permitted one such development sign, except that when there are two prominent road frontages, a second such sign shall be permitted.

Development signs are to be a maximum of 8 sq.m in area, and shall be securely mounted on timber or steel poles. The sign shall be located within the area being offered for sale.

Development signs are temporary signs only. A development sign shall be removed within 14 days of the last lot or property being sold or leased, or within two years of being erected, whichever is the sooner.

3. Estate Signs and Entry Statements

What is the identified problem here which requires standards to be set?

4. Signs on Heritage Buildings and Places

Preamble

The design and location of signs on or near heritage buildings and places must be carefully considered to achieve a high degree of compatibility with the heritage significance of the building or place so as not to detract from that significance.

In some cases, new signs should achieve that compatibility by being of a very traditional character; in other cases, the sign should be clearly contemporary in design. Whether traditional or modern, the new sign must be well designed and carefully placed so as not to detract from the significant qualities of the existing building or place.

Objectives

· To ensure signage is designed and located in a manner which conserves the heritage buildings and places which have been identified as significant, and protecting and enhancing what is valued about each building or place; and

· To encourage signs that are appropriate to a heritage building or place having regard to its significance and context.

Appropriate Sign Opportunities

Opportunities for advertising, as well as acceptable media used, may be more limited than in other areas.

Historically, signs were rarely placed on pilasters, architectural mouldings or across incised decorative patterns. They were placed so as to allow the architectural details of buildings to remain prominent.

Generally the following areas on a heritage building are suitable for locating advertising signage, although it is not suggested that all these opportunities should be exploited at the same time :

· The solid parapet above the cornice (horizontal sign);

· The horizontal panel below the cornice (horizontal sign);

· Ground or first floor windows (window signs);

· On side upper storey walls (horizontal signs); and

· Attached to verandahs (verandah fascia and under verandah signs);

Some appropriate locations for signage are illustrated over the page.

Modern signs can, at times, be accommodated as projecting vertical signs, and as name plates beside the entrance door.

Some appropriate locations for advertising signage.

All other sign types, including roof signs, are discouraged on buildings of heritage significance.

Matters for Consideration

Generally, signs on individual buildings or within areas of special significance should be discreet, and should complement the building or area. The architectural characteristics of a building should always dominate. For example, signs should not be placed on cast iron, first floor verandahs, balustrades or in front of cast iron frieze work.

Advertising should be placed in locations on the building or item which would traditionally have been used as advertising areas.

No signs should break an historic parapet or roof line of a building. A possible exception is single-storey verandah roof lines, where signs sometimes project above verandah spouting or across the verandah roof (“verandah sign”).

Side walls provide opportunities, but should be carefully considered.

Modern standardised ‘trademark’ advertising will not usually be appropriate. This is unless the presentation is modified by placing the modern sign in a panel with a perimeter margin and surrounding wall surface printed in sympathetic heritage colours.

In general, there are no standard sizes for signs in heritage areas. They may vary according to the design of the building or its environment.

Permanent signs on shop windows should not cover more than 25% of the window area, between the window sill and the door head.

A verandah fascia sign should have a maximum height of 175mm with lettering of 150mm in height.

As the external colours applied in different historic periods varied, and were more limited in range than today, it is wise to research appropriate colour ranges for buildings in heritage areas. Paint scrapings can often reveal original colours.

Heritage lettering styles may involve shaded letters, the mixing of sizes and styles of letters, and ornamental scrolls as relevant to the period of the building.

Fluorescent and iridescent paints are inappropriate.

Signs are preferably illuminated by floodlighting. Large backlit signs will be appropriate only on buildings and items constructed during the period when neon was used. Small neon signs hanging inside the windows of shops can be appropriate because they are more in the nature of a window display than of a dominant townscape element. There are exceptions to the use of internally illuminated, neon and flashing signs where they are an accepted component of the social history of an area.

5. Offensive Signage

The City of Wanneroo will not approve offensive outdoor advertising signage where it is proposed to be erected or displayed for public viewing anywhere within the areas under the City’s control.

6. Third Party Advertising

Any advertising sign that is erected on or adjacent to a building or on a site shall be for the purpose of the identification of the building, its ownership or the major activities carried on within it.

General advertising (‘third party advertising’) may only be permitted where, having regard to the character of the area in which the sign is to be situated, it can be demonstrated to the Council’s satisfaction that the visual quality, amenity and safety of the municipality will be enhanced, or at the very least, not diminished.

In any event, the third part advertising component of any sign should not constitute more than 50% of the total sign area.

Planning Approval is required to permit the erection of all general advertising signs.

7. The Control and Location of Tethered Signs (Advertising Balloons and Blimps, etc.)

Objectives

· To ensure that the future location of tethered signs on private property is compatible with the character of surrounding buildings and land use activities;

· To provide an appropriate framework from which planning decisions can be made regarding the location and control of tethered signs.

Policy

In determining an application for a tethered sign, the Council shall have regard to the following:

· Tethered signs shall only be permitted on a private property for the purpose of identifying the use on-site, or for activities associated with that use;

· Tethered signs shall only be permitted on properties where it can be demonstrated that having regard to the character of the area in which they will be situated, they will not adversely affect the visual amenity of the location or adjacent areas. More specifically,

- tethered signs shall only be permitted on commercial premises where the device will not have a significant detrimental impact on surrounding residential dwellings;

- particular attention shall be given to preserving the visual amenity of commercial areas characterised by a unique built form, comprising historical and architecturally significant building stock, and other precincts / locations considered by the Council as being of environmental, townscape or landscape value.

· Approval shall be for a maximum period of thirty (30) days only.

· Planning Approval is required to permit the erection of all tethered signs.

Standards

Tethered signs shall:

· be located wholly within the boundaries of the subject lot;

· have a maximum vertical dimension of 0.75m and a maximum area of 2.0 sq.m;

· not be less than 2.75m or greater than 8.0m from ground level;

· be limited to a maximum of one sign per street frontage on any one lot; and

· not be within 10.0m of a pylon sign.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the above clauses, tethered signs which consist of balloon or blimp-type objects shall:

· not exceed 7.0m in diameter or 9.0m in height; and

· not be displayed for more than 30 days in aggregate for any one calendar year.

Furthermore, the advertiser shall supply to the Council prior to erecting such a sign a certificate from a qualified structural engineer certifying that the connection of the balloon or blimp-type object to its ground-based fixture is of a structurally sound design.

8. Roof Signs

Objective

To control the number and type of roof signs permitted in order to protect the visual amenity of those areas in respect of which permission is sought to erect such signs.

Policy

The general policy in respect of the construction of new roof signs or the alteration to the dimensions or content of existing roof signs is as follows:

· No roof signs shall be permitted to be erected on buildings except where such signs may be seen to be designed as an integral part of the design of the building and are for the purposes identification of the building, its ownership or the major activities carried on within it.

· Roof signs other than those identified in the previous paragraph shall only be permitted where it can be demonstrated that having regard to the character of the area in which they are to be situated, they would not adversely affect its amenities or those of other areas.

· An illuminated roof sign will not be permitted if it is likely to adversely affect the amenity of adjoining, overlooking residents due to excessive glare.

· A roof sign must be compatible with the building upon which it is attached in terms of its size and design.

· Roof signs are not permitted on heritage buildings.

· Planning Approval is required to permit all roof signs.

· “Above roof” or “sky signs” are not permitted on private land anywhere within the City of Wanneroo.

9. Large Banner Signs

Objective

To control the location, number, content and duration of display of large banner signs in order to protect the visual amenity of those areas in respect of which permission is sought to erect such signs.

Policy

The Policy in respect of the erection of large banner signs, and the alteration to the dimensions or content of existing large banner signs, is as follows:

Large banner signs on buildings:

· Large banner signs may be permitted only within the Commercial Zone and the Centre Zone.

· Only one large banner sign may be erected on any one building at a time.

· The content of large banner signs may only promote special events, exhibitions or commercial events of interest to the community, or major new commercial activities. The part of the sign occupied by corporate markings, logos, branding or the like shall only occupy a maximum of 5% of the total sign area. Third party advertising shall not be permitted. Sign content and any change of content must be approved by Council.

· Large banner signs will only be permitted to be displayed on a temporary basis, and for the purposes of this Section of the Policy, “temporary” means no more than six (6) months’ duration. No further approval for a large banner sign on the same building will be considered by Council until at least six (6) months have elapsed since a previously approved large banner sign was removed.

· Only four (4) large banner signs shall be permitted to be on display within the municipality of the City of Wanneroo at any one time.

Large banner signs on scaffolding:

· Large banner signs on scaffolding may be permitted only within the Commercial Zone and the Centre Zone.

· Only one large banner sign on scaffolding may be erected on any one building site at a time.

· The scaffolding must be directly associated with a building under construction, or a building undergoing conversion.

· The content of large banner signs on scaffolding may only promote special events, exhibitions or commercial events of interest to the community, or major new commercial activities. The part of the sign occupied by corporate markings, logos, branding, the selling agency or the like shall only occupy a maximum of 5% of the total sign area. Third party advertising shall not be permitted. Sign content and any change of content must be approved by Council.

· Large banner signs on scaffolding will only be permitted to be displayed on a temporary basis, and for the purposes of this Section of the Policy, “temporary” means no more than twelve (12) months, or for the duration the scaffolding is in place, whichever period is the lesser.

Planning approval is required to permit the erection of all large banner signs on buildings and scaffolding.

10. Wall Murals

Wall murals, which do not convey a defined advertising message, can provide colour and interest to blank walls and unattractive structures. They can be informative, humorous, artistic or puzzling, depending upon their content.

Objective

To control the number and type of murals permitted in order to protect the visual amenity of those areas in respect of which permission is sought to erect such signs.

Policy

· Planning approval is required to permit the erection of all wall murals.

· Wall murals shall not be precluded from any part of the City of Wanneroo as a matter of policy, but rather each application for a wall mural shall be treated on its merits, bearing in mind the locational context and content of the proposed wall mural, and the overriding need to protect the character and general amenity of the locality.

11. Animated or “New Technology” Signs – Video Signs

· Video signs are only permitted within the zones nominated in Table 1, and will require the submission and approval of a Signage Strategy.

· A video sign must be compatible with the character of the streetscape within which it is proposed to be erected. A video sign shall not be permitted within a designated heritage area, or on or associated with, a registered heritage place.

· A video sign must be designed as an integral part of a building or structure, but will not generally be approved where it takes the form of a pylon sign.

· The most appropriate locations for video signs include plazas and public spaces where their contents can be viewed by gathered or passing pedestrians, but cannot be viewed by passing motorists who may be distracted in their driving so as to cause a safety hazard. A video sign may be constructed and located as to create a landmark in its immediate locality.

· The contents of a video sign may move but not flash.

· Planning approval is required to permit the erection of all video signs, and the content of a video sign must also receive the approval of Council.

Sign Types Not Listed

In considering innovative design proposals for signs not envisaged by this Policy, or where there are issues of interpretation, the City of Wanneroo will consider the design excellence of the proposed sign, and the degree to which it meets the objectives of this Policy. Planning Approval is required to permit the erection of all “sign types not listed”.

Enforcement & Penalties

AS PER CLAUSE 8.10 OF THE SCHEME.

Issue

Consideration of submissions received following the close of advertising of Amendment No.2 to District Planning Scheme No.2 (DPS2).

Applicant	BSD Consultants
Owner	Masterkey Properties
Location	Lot 179 East Road, Hocking
Site Area	3339m²
DPS 2 Zoning	Commercial

Background

Lot 179 is located at the corner of East Road and Manchester Drive, Hocking (refer Attachment 1). Amendment No.2 is a text amendment to modify Schedule 3 of DPS2 to increase the maximum Net Lettable Area (NLA) of the Hocking Local Centre from 500m² to 700m². A development approval for the subject centre was previously issued by the City. The additional 200m² is proposed to be accommodated in the eastern most portion of the building which was previously approved as an office (refer Attachment 2).

Council considered Amendment No.2 at its meeting of September 25^th 2001 (Report no. PD11-09/01), and resolved to seek authority from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) to allow a reduced advertising period of 21 days, following consideration of the proposal by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).

Detail

The EPA advised the City on 29 October 2001 that the Scheme Amendment did not warrant an environmental assessment, thereby allowing the amendment to be advertised. The WAPC advised the City on 1 November 2001 that a reduced public advertising period of 21 days could be initiated, given the relatively minor nature of the amendment.

Consultation

A 21-day public advertising period was carried out between 13 November 2001 and 4 December 2001. Pursuant to the Town Planning Regulations, this consultation involved:

a) A sign being erected on site, advising of the proposed amendment;

b) The proposed amendment being advertised in ‘The West Australian’ (14^th November) and ‘The Wanneroo Times’ (13 November);

c) Landowners within a 100-metre radius of Lot 179 being informed by letter of the proposed amendment.

Comment

The City has received no submissions in relation to the proposed amendment. Accordingly, it is recommended that Council resolve to adopt the amendment without modification and forward it to the WAPC for final approval and gazettal.

Statutory Compliance

The advertising process has complied with the requirements of the Town Planning Regulations.

Issue

Consideration of a proposed draft Local Structure Plan and associated Amendment No. 5 to the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2 (DPS2) to rezone Part Lot 9004 Tapping Way, Quinns Rocks from Centre to Residential Zone.

Applicant	ERM Australia Pty Ltd
Owner	Silverton Pty Ltd
Location	Part Lot 462, Santa Barbara Parade, Quinns Rocks
Site Area	3.6408 hectares
DPS 2 Zoning	Centre

Background

ERM Australia Pty Ltd has requested an amendment to the City’s District Planning Scheme No2 (DPS2) to rezone Part Lot 9004, Tapping Way, Quinns Rocks from Centre to Residential Zone. A proposed draft Local Structure Plan (LSP) has also been submitted for the landholding for assessment under Part 9 of the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2.

Based on the original Structure Plan for the parent landholding, this site has been adopted and listed in Schedule 3 of the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2 as a Neighbourhood Centre of 3500 m² Nett Leasable Area (NLA). The applicant has advised that retail studies undertaken for this locality identified an oversupply of floor space and unviability of this site as a Centre.

Detail

The site is situated at the north-eastern corner of Santa Barbara Parade and Belhaven Terrace (refer Attachment 1).

The key features of the draft LSP are as follows (refer Attachment 2).

· The proposal makes provision for 51 residential lots varying between 495 to 769 m²;

· A centrally located public open space (POS) of 1509 m². This POS does not represent 10% of the total area. The applicant has advised that in view of sufficient large open space areas in the vicinity of this site, a small POS area has been proposed. The applicant has suggested a cash-in-lieu payment or development of the subject POS to the value of the 2131m² shortfall; and

· The internal road network is designed in such a way to discourage any through traffic.

Consultation

Under the provisions of the recently amended Town Planning Regulations, consent to advertise from the WAPC is not required if an amendment is consistent with the MRS or other planning policies and strategies. In this instance the proposal is considered consistent with the MRS zoning and the WAPC has advised that the consent of the WAPC is not necessary. The amendment proposal will be advertised under the provisions of Regulation 15 of the Town Planning Regulations 1967.

The draft LSP will be required to be advertised under the provisions of Clause 9.5 of the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2.

Comment

Rezoning

Since the Quinns Neighbourhood Centre was first zoned, planning in the Clarkson/Butler area has changed significantly. The location and size of this site was determined in accordance with the planning principles prevalent in the mid 1990s. The recently concluded Butler Charette organised by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) and the City has proposed a centre of about 3000 m² NLA within the Brighton structure plan area (refer Attachment 3). This site is located about 1.0 km away from the subject land. The applicant has suggested the viability of a Centre on the subject land would be significantly compromised as it would be competing against a more substantive Brighton Centre whose retail offering would be much greater.

The City’s Centre Strategy makes provision for 3 500 m² NLA at the subject land. It also makes provision for 2 250 m² NLA at the Brighton Centre. Although the Centres Strategy recommends a minimum spacing of 1.5 km between centres, as indicated, these two centres are spaced barely 1.0 km apart. The Centre Strategy also notes that the commercial structures within the Clarkson, Butler and Alkimos area (of which the subject site forms a part) should be regarded as flexible. Consequently, the DPI and the City are actively promoting a revision to the strategy.

The applicant did consider the option of promoting a smaller Local Centre of 500 m² NLA, but noted that it was also doubtful if this Local Centre will be viable.

In view of the above, it is considered reasonable that this site be rezoned to a land use compatible with the surrounding area.

Local Structure Plan

Ordinarily, the City would not require an LSP for such a small site. In this case however, the current Centre Zoning of the site precludes development without an approved LSP being in place. Although a Centre Zone would ordinarily promote a retail/commercial type land use, residential is not precluded. Accordingly, the applicant has prepared an LSP to facilitate residential subdivision in the short term. The rezoning is largely being undertaken to provide for a more appropriate long term zoning for the site.

In assessing LSPs, the City would normally assess the plan against employment and sustainability, heritage and environment and other planning matters. In this instance, only 51 residential lots are being created which will essentially become a minor extension to the previously adopted Structure Plan for Quinns Rocks and a subdivision application area approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission in 1998.

Statutory Compliance

The amendment proposal is considered under Section 7 of the Town Planning and Development (TPD) Act 1928 (as amended).

Strategic Implications

Nil.

Policy Implications

Council’s Centres Planning Policy will be required to be amended.

Financial Implications

At its meeting of 9 February 1999, the Commissioners of the former City of Wanneroo resolved to initiate Amendment 858 to the City’s Town Planning Scheme No.1 (TPS1) to rezone Lot 10 Flynn Drive, Carramar from Special Rural to Urban Development Zone (SW10-08/99) (refer Attachment 1). The Commissioners also resolved to request the North West District Planning Committee to amend the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) to rezone the land from Rural to Urban.

The TPS1 amendment proposal was advertised inviting public comments. At its meeting of 10 August 1999, the new City of Wanneroo considered the amendment proposal in light of the submissions received and resolved to adopt the amendment (W228-08/99).

It should be noted that while granting approval to advertise the amendment, the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) advised that the amendment could not be finalised until such time the land was suitably zoned in the MRS. As the land was ultimately zoned “Urban Deferred” rather than ‘Urban” in the MRS the amendment was not adopted by the WAPC.

The reason for the Urban Deferred zoning rather that Urban Zone were,

1. The need for the consideration of the northern portion of the land (about 7.0 hectares) which had some significant vegetation and possible Bush Forever site; and

2. Incompatibility of the proposed Residential Development on the subject land with the proposed Industrial Development to the north of Flynn Drive.

The Bush Forever document was released in December 2000 and this strategy indicated the northern portion of the subject land as a Bush Forever site. Accordingly the applicant has suggested that the rezoning can now be considered, as this site will act as a buffer between the Industrial Development and the proposed Residential Development within the subject land.

Detail

Lot 10 is situated about 3 km to the east of Wanneroo Road and is 20.2326 hectares. The Carramar Estate Special Rural Zone, is situated to the south and west of this land and the Flynn Drive Industrial Estate is situated to the north of the subject land. The land to the east is owned by Landstart which is zoned Urban Development in DSP2.

To support the proposed rezoning, the applicant has submitted a draft Structure Plan for this land to demonstrate how the land may be developed (refer Attachment 2). The Structure Plan makes provision for 15 R5 Special Residential lots of a minimum size of 2000 m², 99 R20 residential lots of an average size of 600 m², a public open space area of 3600 m²and a 7.0 ha Bush Forever site. The 2000 m² lots are proposed as transition lots between the residential lots and Carramar Estate. As the WAPC would not support access to the subject land through the Bush Forever site, the plan depicts access to this area via the proposed subdivisional roads within the Landstart land as depicted in Landstart’s draft Banksia Grove LSP (refer Attachment 3). The Structure Plan also depicts possible road connections to Carramar Estate should Carramar Estate be urbanised in the future, however this is something that ultimately might not be required.

It is anticipated that a formal Local Structure Plan application will be lodged by the applicant early next year.

Consultation

Under the provisions of the recently amended Town Planning Regulations, the consent of the WAPC for advertising is not required in most circumstances if an amendment proposal is consistent with the MRS. In this instance officers of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure have advised that the consent of the WAPC is not necessary.

Under the provisions of Section 7A1 of the Town Planning and Development Act 1928 (as amended) this proposal will be required to be referred to the Environmental Protection Authority for its comments.

Comment

Support to the rezoning of this lot from Special Rural to Urban Development is based on the following key issues.

1. Historically this lot was proposed as a private school however had no road links to the adjoining Special Rural area. Instead it is a stand-alone lot on the periphery of the Special Rural Zone.

2. The lot immediately abuts the Banksia Grove Local Structure Plan area and therefore can be serviced and integrated into the adjoining development.

In regard to the Draft Structure Plan submitted by the applicant, it is noted that this plan is only conceptual at this stage and is only included with the amendment to indicate how the site could be developed. It is therefore not subject to Council’s formal consideration. Should the land be rezoned to Urban Development Zone, an Agreed Structure Plan assessed in accordance with Part 9 of DPS2 will be required prior to subdivision and development of the lot.

The Structure Plan makes provision for transition lots of a minimum 2000 m²between the residential lots and the Special Rural Zone. Council has previously required such lots to be 5000 m2. However, as 30% of the subject land is affected by the Bush Forever site, the Bush Forever Office of DPI has negotiated a reduced lot size in ‘compensation’. Notwithstanding this, it is considered that there may be some merit to reduce the area of these lots as the abutting Special Rural lots already have significant separation between the existing houses and those proposed in this area.

In any case, this matter is being assessed by Council staff in conjunction with the applicant and will be detailed and addressed in the Local Structure Plan report when presented to Council.

Statutory Compliance

The proposal is considered consistent with the future intentions for this land. As this lot forms part of the Development Guide Plan for Special Rural Zone No.1, DPS2 will be required to be amended to remove the subject lot from the Development Guide Plan.

The amendment will follow the statutory processes outlined in the Town Planning Regulations which includes a public consultation process.

In view of the Urban Deferred zoning of the land under the MRS, Council will note that the change to Urban does not require a formal rezoning but rather, a resolution of the WAPC to simply lift the Deferred status of the land.

Issue

Adoption of the Revised East Wanneroo Cell 1 Local Structure Plan (Ashby/Tapping) incorporating modifications requested by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and other minor changes.

Applicant	N/A
Owner	Multiple
Location	bounded by Clarkson Avenue, Pinjar Road and Wanneroo Road
Site Area	339.91 hectares
DPS 2 Zoning	Urban Development

Background

The Council of the former City of Wanneroo at its meeting of 28 September 1999 (W361-09/99) considered the East Wanneroo Local Structure Plans (LSP) in respect of Cells 1 to 8 and resolved to endorse the structure plans with modifications and submit them to the WAPC for its adoption. The WAPC considered the LSP for Cell 1 (Refer Attachment 1) and resolved to adopt Part 1 of the structure plan subject to modifications (Refer Attachment 2).

Detail

The modifications that have been incorporated into the revised LSP are a result of requested changes by the WAPC, subdivision approvals granted by the WAPC and road and landuse rationalisation by City administration.

The modifications requested by the WAPC are discussed below:

Revisions to Land Valuation

New independent valuation advice is required regarding the current values of the land required for acquisition. This will lead to revised and more accurate infrastructure costs per lot (ICPL) for Cell 1.

Amendments to the Zoning Map

There is a need to include the land within Cell 1 within the 500-metre buffer zone of the poultry farm on Lot 39 Pinjar Road, Mariginiup and on Location 1665 Wanneroo Road, Sinagra and removal of the R20 code from the legend.

The inclusion of Environmental Provisions and consideration of Bush Forever Sites

The WAPC requested that environmental provisions relating to former Town Planning Scheme No 1 Amendment’s No 773 and 787 be included (where appropriate) within the LSP. The former considerations relate to issues of soil contamination and remediation while the latter refers to the identification and protection of Karstic Landform. A request that Bush Forever Sites be identified on the structure plan was also made.

Modifications to the LSP design addressing

· The road design to improve permeability and legibility of the street network for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians;

· Modifying street blocks to provide for appropriate lot sizes;

· Inclusion of several additional R30 and R40 sites;

· Reduction of the primary school site to 3.5 hectare (ha) from 4.00 ha, where the schools are co-located with public open space (POS)’

· Inclusion of a small POS area (pocket park) in the southern portion of the Cell;

· Consideration being given to the inclusion of a corner store; and

· Consistency with recent subdivision approvals.

Given changes to land use requirements and adjoining structure planning since Council last considered the plan, the following additional modifications were also considered appropriate by the City’s officers:

a) Integration of the LSP with the Carramar South/Taping North Agreed Structure Plan for the landholding adjoining the northern boundary of Cell 1;

b) Reconsideration of the status of the proposed High School site in view of the Bush Forever Site 164, which affects the High School site;

c) Reconsideration of the number of Primary Schools required within Cell 1;

d) Deletion of the proposed extension of Conti Road as it would affect the Bush Forever Site;

e) Redistribution of the POS areas;

f) Modification to the Pinjar Road alignment;

g) Inclusion of the Park Home park within the LSP as previously approved by Council.

Consultation

The LSP has been modified largely as a result of the request of the WAPC. In most cases, the changes have been minor. However, as certain changes relating to conversion of a 4-hectare Primary School site into a 6-Hectare Middle School, and modifications to the alignment of Pinjar Road are likely to have a more significant impact, the City notified the affected owners and sought their comments.

Comment

Attachment No. 3 includes the modified Cell 1 LSP.

Revisions to Land Valuation

The Cell costs contained in the Draft Cell 1 LSP were based on valuations undertaken in 1996/97.

The City commissioned the independent licensed valuation firm of Egan National Valuers (WA), to undertake a current fair market valuation of selected parcels of land required for cell works.

The valuation of these parcels on a frontal englobo basis provides a range values from which an average value per hectare can be deduced. This average value when applied to the aggregate area of land for cell works that is still to be acquired is included in the estimate of cell costs for the purpose of establishing the infrastructure cost per lot.

The valuations advised for the individual land holdings that comprise the selected public open space sites and road widening range between $240,000 per hectare and $305,000 per hectare. An average rate of $275,000 per hectare is indicated.

The average per hectare value should be increased by a margin of 10% to provide for claims of solatium. Solatium is the allowance made in the compensation process to avoid disadvantage to an owner whose land is required for a public work who, as a consequence, has lost the opportunity to deal with the land on the open market in the same manner as other land owners.

If $275,000 is adopted as the base rate per hectare, and a solatium allowance of 10%, ($27,500) is applied, the estimated net value per hectare for the cell purpose land is $302,500 per hectare.

The total estimated value of the public open land in the cell is $6,867,631, which equates to $2,457.99 per new lot. The total estimated value of the road widening land is $2,236,416.

When factored into the overall cell costs, the total cell cost estimate is $11,911,477, and an infrastructure cost per lot (ICPL) of $4,263.23.

Amendments to the Zoning Map

The Zoning Map for Cell 1 has been revised to depict a buffer zone around the Poultry farm on Lot 39 Pinjar Road, Mariginiup (Refer Attachment 4). This poultry farm only affects a small portion of the POS (which also contains a wetland) proposed at the north eastern corner of the Cell

The other significant modification to the Zoning Map is the new location of the Neighbourhood Centre for the Cell. The Centre has been relocated in accordance with the overall changes to the LSP.

The inclusion of Environmental Provisions and consideration of Bush Forever Sites

The WAPC requested that environmental provisions relating to former Town Planning Scheme No 1 Amendment’s No 773 and 787 be included (where appropriate) within the LSP. Amendment 773 relates to issues of soil contamination and remediation and Amendment 787 to the identification and protection of Karstic Landform. A request that Bush Forever Sites be identified on the structure plan was also made.

The environmental conditions proposed by the WAPC relate to Soil Contamination assessment and management and identification and management of karstic land form. The latter reflects the potential for karstic landform features within Cell 1. It is considered appropriate that relevant conditions be included in the statutory component of the LSP to address this matter.

The Bush Forever document released by the Government of WA in December 2000 includes a Bush Forever Site within Cell 1 (Refer Attachment 5). This site comprises Lot 9 Wanneroo Road, Crown Reserve 27071 Ashley Road and a closed road adjoining this reserve and parts of Crown Reserves 834 and 27366 Wanneroo Road and part of Crown Reserve 8121 Conti Road.

While Crown Reserves 834, 27366 and 8121 have been deducted from the calculation of the nett developable land in Cell 1, the implications of this Bush Forever Site on Lot 9 Wanneroo Road and Crown Reserve 27071 are discussed in relation to the school sites and POS distribution.

Modifications to the LSP design

a) Modifications to the road design

The Modified LSP depicts a road network, which is proposed to achieve improved permeability and legibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians (refer Attachment No 3). These modifications were required for the following reasons.

(i) The road layout of the original Cell 1 LSP was based on the draft Carramar South/Tapping North Local Structure Plan in respect of the landholding to the north of Cell 1. At the time of finalising the Carramar South/Tapping North LSP, the road pattern adjoining Cell 1 was altered to be consistent with the subdivisions approved in this area. In order to integrate with the final road pattern of the Carramar North/Tapping South Agreed Structure Plan, the Cell 1 LSP has been modified.

(ii) Conti Road off Pinjar Road is currently a dead-end road. The original LSP depicted an extension to this road through Bush Forever Site 164, linking with Wanneroo Road. Since the WAPC does not favour disturbance to Bush Forever Sites, the proposed extension to Conti Road has been deleted.

(iii) In the absence of the Conti Road west-west link, it is now proposed to extend Ashley Road, which is currently a dead-end, to connect to Pinjar Road.

b) Spacing between street blocks to provide for appropriate lot sizes;

The base residential density of this Cell is R20, which is in line with the overall density of the City. The average lot size at this density is 500 m², and has a minimum lot depth of 30 metres with the street blocks of a minimum depth of 60 metres. The LSP has been modified to reflect this preferred design.

c) Inclusion of additional R30 and R40 sites

Attachment 3 includes additional R40 density codings proposed for lots fronting POS areas, in order to provide passive surveillance. Efforts are being made to introduce higher densities at points of difference within the residential areas, which may be conducive to medium and higher density living.

The proponents of the Park Home Park have requested that about 3518 m² of the land situated at the northwestern corner of the development be coded R30 in order to create Aged and Dependent Persons dwellings (Refer Attachment 6). This site currently contains a dwelling and gains access from Wanneroo Road. As per the WAPC’s subdivision approval relating to the Park Home Park land, this site will eventually gain access via the internal road system of the park home park.

d) Changes to High School and Primary School sites

The original LSP had made provision for a high school of 10 hectares (ha) at the south-eastern corner of Wanneroo Road and Ashley Road. The affected lots were Lots 3 and 10 Ashley Road and Lot 9 Wanneroo Road.

As Bush forever Site No.164, which includes the whole of Lot 9 Wanneroo Road, partly affected the high school site, the Education Department of WA (EDWA) advised that it required an alternative school site within Cell 1. Based on the catchment areas of the proposed high school at Carramar/Banksia Grove and the existing one at Wanneroo, the EDWA advised that a third high school within these catchment areas may not be necessary. However, it was indicated that a Middle School might be required.

In assessing the catchment areas of the proposed Primary Schools within Cell 1, EDWA also suggested that Cell 1 will require only one primary school rather than two. Of the two primary school sites depicted on the original LSP, EDWA has requested retention of the southern site only and conversion of the northern one to a Middle School site of 7 ha. As both are proposed to be co-located with a POS area, they have been identified as 3.5 ha and 6 ha respectively.

At the conclusion of the comment period, the City had received 1 submission from landowners affected by the proposed Middle School. Their main concern was whether EDWA would be compensating them immediately or would they be forced to wait indefinitely until acquisition suited EDWA.

That is, it has repeatedly suggested that due to lack of funding, landowners should be prepared to wait until EDWA determines that it is ready to acquire a site. This is considered very unsatisfactory as it provides no certainty for those landowners affected by school sites who have limited opportunity to otherwise dispose of their land.

It is, therefore, believed that the City should approach the State Government to seek a satisfactory outcome to this situation on behalf of those owners affected by school sites in East Wanneroo. The State should either negotiate with owners as to when acquisition is likely to occur or, alternatively, provide for an appropriate mechanism for owners to be paid compensation similar to that provided for under the Metropolitan Regional Town Planning Scheme Act 1959.

e) Inclusion of a small POS area (pocket park) in the southern portion of the Cell;

The original LSP depicted a small pocket park at the junction of Wanneroo Road and the realigned Pinjar Road. Since this POS was not centrally located it has been relocated.

The following additional matters have been noted on the overall distribution of the POS areas within Cell 1.

(i) Due to the changes in the school sites, the nett developable area of the Cell has increased. Consequently, the total extent of POS has increased from 28.0563 ha to 28.4586 ha.

(ii) The POS areas have been generally located on original sites except for POS 1B (see Attachment 1). Because of slope considerations and the potential for use as residential, this POS area has been redistributed and relocated. Portions have been redistributed to other POS areas as well as a larger 2.1 ha site on the northern boundary of the Cell.

(iii) It is noted that the 5000 m² Community Purpose site proposed adjoining the Neighbourhood Centre would form part of the overall POS requirement within Cell 1. The City’s Community Services Directorate is of the view that this Community Purpose site could be utilised for a possible Adult Day Care similar to the one provided at Gumblossom Recreation Centre at Quinns Rocks.

(iv) It is noted that Reserve 27071 which forms a part of the POS requirement of this Cell is also a part of the Bush Forever Site 164. The Bush Forever document notes that regionally significant vegetation will generally be secured for conservation over and above the normal 10% POS requirement which is usually a recreation component. In this regard it is noted that this reserve was originally created as POS in an historic subdivision and therefore the landowners of this historic subdivision are eligible for a credit. Hence, it is considered appropriate to treat this reserve as part of the Cell 1 POS requirement. However, it is recommended that this POS be retained in its natural state.

Due to its location, the adjoining road reserve which also forms part of the Bush Forever site has been included as part of the POS consideration.

f) Consideration being given to the inclusion of a corner store

Originally the LSP made provision for a centrally located Neighbourhood Centre at the intersection of Conti Road and the north-south Local Distributor Road. Now that Ashley Road is proposed as the major east-west link road in place of Conti Road, the Neighbourhood Centre was relocated to the intersection of Ashley Road and the proposed north-south road. This location is considered the best to ensure critical exposure to significant passing traffic volumes. As per the City’s Centres Strategy endorsed by the WA Planning Commission, the nett leasable area (nla) of this Neighbourhood Centre is expected to remain at 2 200 m²

While most of the future residents in the northern part of Cell 1 would be well served by the above Centre, the residents to the south and those at the Park Home Park would be forced to travel a longer distance. In view of this, it is suggested that a local store be proposed on the site depicted on Attachment 3 close to the Park Home Park. As required by the City’s policy on Local Stores, this store will be attached to a residential dwelling.

g) Consistency with subdivision approvals

To date, the City under delegated authority has considered only one subdivision application referred to by the WAPC for a portion of land situated at the southern portion of the LSP area. The modified LSP depicts the proposed road layout of this subdivision.

Modifications to Pinjar Road re-alignment

In the Metropolitan Region Scheme and the City’s District Planning Scheme No2, Pinjar Road has been reserved as Other Regional Roads Reservations. The re-aligned Pinjar Road intersects Vincent Road and Caporn Street. In order to control the traffic at the junctions of these roads, roundabouts have been proposed. Since the terrain of the road at the junction of Pinjar Road and Vincent Road has a 5% gradient (which is not suitable to construct the roundabout) the junction was moved northwards by about 70 metres This modification will affect the MRS reservation thus requiring an amendment to the Metropolitan Region Scheme.

Additionally the future Pinjar Road plans have been further modified between Clarkson Avenue and Wanneroo Road depicting changes to the Pinjar Road alignment and a new service road to serve the residents of the Mariginiup Town Site to avoid future direct vehicular access to Pinjar Road. This modification will also require an amendment to the MRS.

These changes are shown on Attachments 7 and 8.

Statutory Compliance

Under the provisions of Sub Clause 9.6.3 (c), the City shall make the modifications requested by the WAPC and resubmit the LSP to the WAPC.

Strategic Implications

Nil

Policy Implications

Financial Implications

The revision to the ICPL as a result of the revised land valuations and Pinjar Road changes will filter into the Cell Costings and financial modelling for Cell 1. This revision and its implications will not impact on any other aspect of the City’s operations.

Issue

Adoption of the Revised East Wanneroo Cell 6 Local Structure Plan (Madeley/Darch) incorporating modifications requested by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and other minor changes.

Applicant	N/A
Owner	Multiple
Location	Bounded by Wanneroo Road, Gnangara Road, Hepburn Avenue (future) and Mirrabooka Avenue (future)
Site Area	160 hectares (approximately)
DPS 2 Zoning	Predominately Urban Development

Background

The preparation and ongoing assessment of the East Wanneroo Cells 1-8 Local Structure Plans has a considerable history and background. The plans were originally prepared by BSD Consultants in 1997 and have been modified and advertised on two previous occasions. The Council of the former City of Wanneroo at its meeting of the 28 September 1999 (W361-09/99) considered the East Wanneroo Local Structure Plans (LSP) in respect of Cells 1-8 and resolved to endorse the structure plans with modifications and submit them to the WAPC for its adoption. The WAPC has subsequently considered the LSP for Cell 6 (refer Attachment 1) and resolved to adopt Part 1 of the structure plan subject to modifications (refer Attachment 2).

Detail

The modifications required by the WAPC can be summarised as follows:

Revisions to Land Valuation

Amendments to the Zoning Map

There is a need to remove the Buffer Precinct on the zoning plan around the former piggery on Lot 24 Kingsway and the former poultry farm on Lot 18 Kingsway which have ceased operating. The modifications of the ‘Buffer Precinct’ as it relates to Lot 45 Wanneroo Road is also required to reflect the reduction granted by the WAPC via the subdivision approval dated 13 January 2000 (WAPC reference 112034).

The inclusion of Environmental Provisions and Consideration of Bush Forever Sites

The WAPC requested that environmental provisions relating to former Town Planning Scheme No 1 Amendment No 773 be included where appropriate within the LSP. These former considerations relate to issues of soil contamination and remediation.

The WAPC has also sought the inclusion of an environmental provision relating to the appropriate disposal of surface water drainage within the Cell and to minimise any impacts on water quality on nearby significant wetlands, including potential surface water contamination.

Modifications to the LSP design

· The word ‘Revised’ being replaced with the word ‘Agreed’ in the title of the structure plan map.

· The Structure Plan (including R-Codes) being modified to be consistent with subdivision approvals issued for the area and any new houses within the Cell.

· The Structure Plan being modified to be consitent with the Commission’s Policies, in respect of road design, footpaths and dual use paths and the spacing between street blocks being modified to provide for appropriate lot sizes, where required.

· The R-Codes on the Structure Plan being modified to include several additional R30 and R40 sites.

· The primary school sites being modified to be 3.5 hectares in accordance with Commission Policy No. DC 2.4 (Section 3.3.4), where the primary school site is co-located with public open space (i.e. an oval), that open space is fully utilised by the school and arrangements are made for the management of the open space.

· A small POS area (pocket park) being included within the residential area bounded by Skeit Road, Hepburn Avenue, Evansdale Road and Landsdale Road, Darch.

· The Structure Plan Cell boundaries between Cell Nos. 6 and 8 being modified to include the land zoned Industrial in the MRS in Cell No. 6 within the Structure Plan Cell boundary of Cell No. 8.

· Modify the Buffer Precinct provisions to refer to the Commissions Statement of Planing Policy No. 5- Poultry Farms and details of the use requiring the buffer (i.e. Poultry (Egg) Farm – Lot 45 Wanneroo Road, Madeley).

Given the changes to land use requirements and associated structure planning since Council last considered the LSP, the following additional modifications were also considered appropriate by City officers:

Relocation of the proposed High School Site

The relocation of the future High School site from the position previously advertised in the LSP over portions of Lots 20-22, 47, 48 and 24 Kingsway to Location 1441 Driver Road.

Introduction of additional POS within the Cell.

The introduction of three small pocket parks in portions of the LSP where there was an absence of POS within an efficient walkable catchment.

Reduction in the size of the neighbourhood centre (west)

The western neighbourhood centre being reduced from 2.4 hectares down to 0.5 hectares.

Modifications to Regional Road Alignments

The City is currently reviewing the construction details for the Regional Roads associated with this Cell. Although some minor changes may be required, the construction detail and alignment of the future road reserves will have only minor implications on land acquisition requirements and the associated costs of construction.

Consultation

The LSP has been modified largely as a result of the request by the WAPC. There has also been minor adjustments made as result of subdivision approvals granted by the WAPC. Other variations have generally been made in consultation with landowners. On this basis, it is appropriate that the proposal be considered as a ‘minor modification’ and public advertising be waived in this instance in accordance with Part 9.4.1 (a) of the Scheme.

Comment

Attachment 3 reflects the modified Cell 6 LSP. The proposed modifications are discussed below. Where relevant, the modifications suggested by the City officers are considered along with the modifications required by the WAPC.

Revisions to Land Valuation

The cell costs contained in the Draft Cell 6 LSP were based on valuations undertaken in 1996/97 and therefore have required review. The City commissioned the independent licensed valuation firm of Property Valuation and Consultancy Services, to undertake a current fair market valuation of selected parcels of land required for cell works.

The valuation of these parcels on a frontal englobo basis provides a range of values from which an average value per hectare can be established. This average value when applied to the aggregate area of land for cell works that is still to be acquired is included in the estimate of cell costs for the purpose of establishing the infrastructure cost per lot.

The valuations advised for the individual land holdings that comprise the selected public open space sites and road widening, range between $353,000 per hectare and $401,000 per hectare. An average rate of $370,000 per hectare has been recommended.

If $370,000 is adopted as the base rate per hectare, and a solatium allowance of 10%, ($37,000) is applied, the estimated net value per hectare for the cell purpose land is $407,000 per hectare.

The total estimated value of the public open land in the cell is $13,332,824, which equates to $2,915.07 per new lot. The total estimated value of the road widening land is $6,224,322, which equates to $1,360.88, per new lot.

When factored into the overall cell costs, the total cell cost estimate is $26,971,523, and an infrastructure cost per lot (ICPL) of $5,897.01.

Amendments to the Zoning Map

The zoning map for Cell 6 has been modified at the request of the WAPC. The Piggery at Lot 24 Kingsway and Poultry Farm at Lot 18 Kingsway have ceased operation and as such, the deletion of these buffers and the introduction of the ‘Residential Precinct’ is appropriate. Also, as requested by the WAPC, the Buffer Precinct associated with the existing Egg Farm on Lot 45 Wanneroo Road Madeley has been reduced to reflect the subdivision approval issued for the land to the south (WAPC 112034). In this regard the applicant has received endorsement by the Department of Environmental Protection to reduce the buffer down to the 2.5 Odour Unit Percentile Contour, where the impact of this operation is considered to be minimal. The Buffer Precinct (which is incorporated in to the LSP Zoning Map) has been modified to reflect this approval and introduce the ‘Residential Precinct’ over the balance land (refer Attachment 4).

The ‘Centre Zones’ have been modified to reflect the changes to the Neighbourhood Centres identified in the LSP.

The land identified as ‘Industrial’ under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and was previously identified with Cell 6 LSP has been removed from the Cell 6 LSP and Zoning Map and incorporated into the Cell 8 LSP. Infrastructure calculations associated with adjusted land areas have been incorporated into the Cell Costings.

The inclusion of Environmental Provisions and Consideration of Bush Forever Sites

The environmental conditions proposed by the WAPC relate to Soil Contamination assessment/management and surface water runoff disposal to minimise water quality impacts on near by significant wetlands. The suggested provisions have been incorporated into the ‘Part 1’ text of the modified LSP to ensure developers are required to undertake assessment prior to any earthworks or development occurring on the site, remediation of any contamination to the satisfaction of the DEP and water sensitive storm water disposal as part of the subdivisional works.

It should be noted that several ‘Bush Forever’ sites have been identified within the LSP area. These sites are situated with the future Hepburn Avenue road reserve and an existing reserve adjoining the Landsdale Farm School (Reserve No. 24794 – Bush Forever Sites 328 & 199). These sites do not require further consideration or modification to the LSP, as Crown ownership will ensure appropriate consideration and management.

Modifications to the LSP Design

a) Renaming of LSP

The LSP has been modified to reflect the title of ‘Agreed LSP’ and not ‘Revised LSP’ as previously identified in the advertised LSP.

b) Inclusion of Additional R30 and R40 Sites

Additional R30 and R40 sites have been incorporated for lots fronting POS areas to promote overlooking and surveillance of these recreational areas. Efforts have been made to introduce higher densities at points of difference within the residential areas, which may be conducive of medium and higher density living.

c) Modification to Road Design

The Structure Plan has been modified to be consistent with the Commission’s Policies, in respect of road design, footpaths and dual use paths and the spacing between street blocks being modified to provide for appropriate lot sizes, where required. The modified LSP depicts a road network, which would achieve improved permeability and legibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. The modifications were required primarily to achieve more efficient lot module depth between subdivisional roads and to reflect /integrate with approved subdivisions (which represents approximately 25% of the Cells developable area):

d) Modifications to Primary School Sites

The Cell 6 LSP promotes two primary school sites with both adjoining areas of POS. The primary school sites have been modified to be approximately 3.5 hectares in accordance with Commission Policy No. DC 2.4 (Section 3.3.4), where a primary school site is co-located with public open space (i.e. an oval).

e) A small POS area (pocket park) being included within the residential area bounded by Skeit Road, Hepburn Avenue, Evansdale Road and Landsdale Road, Darch.

The original LSP did not promote an area of POS within the land bounded by Skeit, Landsdale, Hepburn Evandale Roads. Whilst the WAPC provided no explanation for this requirement it has been assumed that the provision of POS was requested to promote POS within walkable catchments and to provide a central identity to the relatively isolated area.

As part of this requirement Council Administration has written to the affected landowners where no response was received.

Further areas for consideration which have been predominately initiated by Council administration can be summarised as follows;

Relocation of the proposed High School Site

The Education Department of Western Australian (EDWA) requires a 10 hectare parcel of land to be set aside for a high school site to service the future needs of the Landsdale, Madely and Darch areas. The previously advertised LSP identified the future school site over portions of Lots 20-22, 47, 48 and 24 Kingsway, Darch. This site was first identified in 1996/97 and appeared in this location on both occasions that the Draft LSP was advertised. Despite repeated objections from the affected residents, the Council did not remove the school from this location as it was generally well located and moreover EDWA advised that it was happy to maintain that particular location.

Since 1999 however, the City has become aware of landowner frustrations as EDWA has on several occasions advised landowners that it was examining the relocation of the high school site. Some 2 ½ years later, enquiries by the City revealed that in fact EDWA had done very little other than to raise the expectations of those land owners affected.

On this basis, the City initiated discussion between EDWA and the owners of Location 1441 Driver Road to explore the possibility of relocating the location of the future high school site to this site.

After lengthy negotiations, EDWA has indicated that the alternative location of the High School site onto Location 1441 Driver Road is considered to be generally acceptable. The proposed location is considered to be central to the catchment that includes the Darch, Madeley and Landsdale areas, and provides better opportunity to service future development east of Landsdale to Alexander Drive.

However EDWA has raised concern in regard to the ultimate suitability of the site given its ongoing use for sand extraction/landfill. Given that the site identified for school purposes is predominately unfilled, the geotechnical implications for this portion of the site relate directly to any future proposals to use this land for land fill. EDWA has engaged Golders and Associates to investigate the existing constraints on the land and develop a management plan that could ultimately result in the geotecghnical certification of the subject site to a an acceptable standard.

The owners and EDWA have indicated that they are prepared to enter into negotiations for the ultimate acquisition of this site based on resolution of the geotechnical issues. The owners have indicated that the land fill operations on the site could occur over many years (subject to market forces) allowing suitable time for acquisition by EDWA. Conversely, it should be noted that the owners of Lots 20-22, 47, 48 and 24 Kingsway who are effected by the original High School site have indicated their desire to develop or on-sell their land in the short term.

This is an important issue that requires further consideration by Council. To date, EDWA’s strategy toward the future acquisition of school sites in East Wanneroo has been very ad hoc. Rather than forward planning for the acquisition of these sites, to date (with one exception) EDWA has regarded landowners with school sites as a ‘land-bank’. That is, it has repeatedly suggested that due to lack of funding, landowners should be prepared to wait indefinitely until EDWA determines that it is ready to acquire a site. This is considered completely unsatisfactory as it provides no certainty for those affected by school sites who have limited opportunity to otherwise dispose of their land.

It is therefore believed that the City should approach the State Government to seek a satisfactory outcome to this situation on behalf of those owners affected by school sites in East Wanneroo. The State should either negotiate with owners as to when acquisition is likely to occur or alternatively, provide for an appropriate mechanism for owners to be paid compensation similar to that provided for under the Metropolitan Regional Town Planning Scheme Act.

Council will note that EDWA has not provided the City with absolute agreement to the relocation of the High School site, however, in view of the City’s investigations, it is reasonable to promote the relocation given the opportunity for negotiations currently before the two parties.

The suitability of the site primarily relates to ongoing fill on the land and as such it is important that the EDWA finalise agreements with the landowner for appropriate management and monitoring of the fill operation.

Introduction of additional POS within the Cell.

The introduction of three small pocket parks in portions of the LSP where there was an absence of POS within an efficient walkable catchment.

Aside from several minor reductions in POS across the Cell, the only variations to the previously advertised LSP in relation to POS distribution relates to the introduction of three small pocket parks. These pocket parks have been positioned and designed to promote areas for passive recreation in portions of the LSP where there was seen to be an absence of POS within an efficient walkable catchment. The size of the new areas of POS were minimised to ensure that the area of POS would not raise significant objection by the landowners and in most cases did not exceed the 10% obligation. City officers have recently written to the affected landowners of these proposed POS areas seeking comments in regard to the location of POS on their land. No comments were received.

It should be noted that the City did not consult the owners affected by a new pocket park between Susan Road and Wanneroo Road in the north-west of the Cell. The size of this POS area is only 4363 m2 and shared amongst 4 individual landowners. This area only represents approximately 5 % of the total land area of each lot and is considered to be a minor and acceptable variation without landowner consultation

Reduction of the neighbourhood centre (west)

The western neighbourhood centre was identified as being 2.4 hectares and having a net lettable area for retail use of 3,300 m2. Given the proximity of the Kingsway District Centre, the ultimate viability of this neighbourhood centre was of concern. Therefore the LSP has now reduced this site to approximately 0.5 hectares or 1200m² NLA.

The modification has been made in consultation with the affected landowners and the reduction in retail floorspace is agreeable to them. The requirement for a 0.5 hectare community purposes site has also been removed from this neighbourhood centre as these types of facilities can be adequately accommodated within the Kingsway District Centre, located approximately 1 kilometre to the south.

Modifications to the Mirrabooka Avenue and Gnangara Road Regional Road Alignments

In the Metropolitan Region Scheme and the City’s District Planning Scheme Number 2, Gnangara Road, Hepburn Avenue, Skeit Road and Mirrabooka Avenue have been reserved as Other Regional Roads.

The City is currently reviewing the detail of construction for these Regional Roads and although some changes may ultimately be required, it is anticipated that these changes will be of a minor nature and have minimal implications on future land requirements and the associated infrastructure costs.

Statutory Compliance

Under the provisions of Sub Clause 9.6.3 (c) of DPS Number 2, the City is required to make the modifications requested by the WAPC and resubmit the LSP to the WAPC.

Strategic Implications

Nil

Policy Implications

Financial Implications

The revision to the ICPL as a result of the revised land valuations will filter into the Cell Costings and financial modelling for Cell 6. This revision and its implications will not impact on any other aspect of the City’s operation.

Issue

Consideration of the draft Local Structure Plan (LSP) for Lot 12 Marmion Avenue, Jindalee lodged pursuant to Part 9 of the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2 (DPS2).

Applicant	Chappell & Lambert Town Planning Urban Design
Owner	Carine Nominees Pty Ltd
Location	Lot 12, Marmion Avenue, Jindalee
Site Area	77.5797 hectares
DPS 2 Zoning	Commercial Zone, Urban Development Zone, Special Zone - Additional Use (Corner Store) and Parks and Recreation Reserve

Background

Chappell and Lambert Town Planning Urban Design has submitted the draft Lot 12 Jindalee Local Structure Plan (LSP) for consideration (refer Attachment 1). Given its zoning and proximity to the existing developments and infrastructure adjacent to the site, the applicant is of the view that the land is ready for development.

In 1991, the former City of Wanneroo had adopted a LSP the subject land (refer Attachment 2) in support of a rezoning application to rezone the subject land from Rural to Residential Development, Commercial and Special Zone (Additional Use). Although the rezoning of the City’s Town Planning Scheme No.1 took effect, the developer did not initiate development of the land in accordance to the adopted LSP.

Detail

The subject land is bounded by Marmion Avenue in the east and Foreshore Reserves (Crown Reserves 20561 and 35890) in the west (refer Attachment 3). While the land to the north is vacant the land to the south is extensively developed. The land to the east of Marmion Avenue is also currently being developed as Brighton Estate.

The applicant has requested that the LSP be considered as a Liveable Neighbourhood application. The Key features of the draft LSP are as follows.

Residential and Special Residential Precincts.

The proposal makes provision for a diversity of lots sizes as indicated below.

· Around 650 R20 lots between 450 to 800 m²;

· About 30 laneway R30 lots of 350 to 420 m² overlooking the public open space (POS) areas;

· 12 to 15 R30 laneway lots of 350 to 420 m² which will provide limited opportunity for residential mixed use where home based business can be encouraged; and

· 34 R12.5 Special Housing lots between 800 to 1200 m². These lots are located on a significant ridge and in order to retain the natural landscape features of the area and minimise earthwork, larger lot sizes are proposed in this precinct.

The high-density lots are proposed facing the POS areas in order to provide better surveillance. High density lots are also proposed fronting the east-west road, Santa Barbara Parade extension and the north-south coastal road.

Retail Floorspace/Mixed Use Zones

The draft LSP makes provision for Mixed Uses on the foreshore front and Business/Mixed Uses fronting Marmion Avenue. The applicant advised that the Mixed Use and Business components are likely to contain some retail floor space, however, details have not been provided.

Community Facilities

No provision is made for schools in this area. A primary school exists at Quinns Rocks close to the subject land, and there is a proposal for a Primary School on Lot 10 Marmion Avenue, Jindalee to the north of the subject land. The draft LSP also does not depict a Community Purpose site. However, it should be noted that the developers of Brighton Estate are making provision for a Community site and facilities, which will also cater to the needs of the residents of the subject proposal.

Road/Transport Network

The central east-west road is a 25 metre wide Neighbourhood Connector connecting Marmion Avenue and the foreshore. This road is estimated to carry a maximum volume of 7000 vehicles per day at Marmion Avenue end. Santa Barbara Parade from Quinns Rocks will intersect this road. A north-south coastal road is proposed to run north off the east-west road. Santa Barbara Parade extension and the north-south coastal road are proposed to have a road reserve width of 25 metres. The proposed road network is considered to be legible and permeable for the movement of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Public Open Space (POS)/Drainage

The draft LSP makes provision for 8% POS, which include portions of the subject land which forms part of the foreshore Parks and Recreation (P&R) reserve adjoining the subject land. Additionally the draft LSP also makes provision for about 5400 m² of POS at the south-western corner of the subject land which would further add to the P&R reserve.

A central Major Open Space of 2.7 hectares is proposed at the corner of the east-west road and Santa Barbara Parade extension. This open space will be developed as a recreational oval for active pursuits. A few other local POS areas are also proposed.

The applicant has submitted only an indicative Foreshore Management Plan for the abutting foreshore reserve and therefore does not seek endorsement of this Foreshore Management Plan. The applicant has also advised that a subdivision application will be lodged with the WAPC shortly and has suggested that preparation of a Foreshore Management Plan be requested as a subdivision condition.

In respect of drainage, general runoff from individual lots will be managed through on-site infiltration from soakwells. Runoff from roadways and public areas will be via gullies/side entry pits and piped drainage system to infiltration sumps and basins located within the low area of the landholding. The draft LSP depicts drainage sumps within Lot 12 immediately abutting the Foreshore Reserve. It is understood that the applicant will pursue the feasibility of drainage of stormwater into the Foreshore with the City, the Western Australian Planning Commission and the Department of Environmental Protection. The drainage would form part of an integrated landscape and management arrangement in association with Community Infrastructure, eg carparking, pathways, etc. City officers have advised that such arrangements are generally not supported. However, the applicant was also advised that it may wish to demonstrate the merits of this proposal further by highlighting the community benefit that would result.

Utilities

The applicant indicates that serving authorities have indicated that underground electricity, gas and telephone services can all be provided to service this development via the extension of the existing systems and networks in Marmion Avenue and Santa Barbara Parade.

Consultation

Pursuant to Clause 9.5 of the DPS2, the draft LSP will be required to be advertised seeking comments for a period of 42 days. This will include referral of the draft LSP to the relevant State government agencies.

Comment

DPS2 currently identifies two pockets of land within the subject landholding as zoned Commercial and Special Zone Additional use (Corner Store) respectively. The applicant has advised that a separate amendment application will be submitted in due course to rezone these areas to Urban Development Zone in order to be in conformity to the overall zoning of the subject land.

The following comments are made in relation to the draft LSP:

Residential & Special Housing Precincts

The proposed residential lots are generally oriented either north-south or east-west, to facilitate siting of dwellings and private open space areas taking advantage of solar access.

The proposed westernmost coastal road does not run along the western boundary of the site thus resulting in some lots adjoining the P&R reserve. Since it is desirable to provide a road interface between the residential lots and the P&R reserve to maintain continuous coastal access in this area it is considered appropriate that the coastal road be extended northwards ensuring that no residential lots abut the P&R reserve.

This is consistent with the City’s position on the coastal roadways in the past where, in principle, a road interface between private lots and the public foreshore reserve has been sought.

As suggested by City officers, the applicant has proposed a Special Housing Precinct taking advantage of the landform. The integrity of the slope will be retained throughout these lots to encourage more innovative building forms and provide landscape interest and relief.

Retail Floorspace and Mixed Use Zones

The draft LSP makes provision for some laneway lots adjacent to the Business/Mixed Uses fronting Marmion Avenue. While the Business/Mixed Uses are, in the main, denied access from Marmion Avenue, they would gain access via the laneways. Noting that laneways are generally only 6.0 metres wide and in light of the types of vehicles that may access these lots from the rear, it is recommended that the LSP be modified to suitably address access to the Business/Mixed Uses to ensure conflicts around the laneway lots is eliminated.

Road/Transport Network

The road serving the laneway lots fronting the northern semi-circular POS is depicted as a disconnected road with no turning area. It is not clear why this road has been proposed as a disconnected road. Since laneway lots are provided with visitors parking bays on the primary road, in the absence of a turning area, the motorists will be required to reverse which is not desirable. In view of this, and given the estimated volume of traffic on this road to be less than 2000 vehicles per day, it is recommended that this road be designated as a continuous road.

Public Open Space/Drainage

The applicant has not provided a schedule or description of the proposed POS areas.

The POS fronting Marmion Avenue contains two Water and Rivers Commission (WRC) Priority 3 Water Resource bores. These facilities are steel and concrete structures enclosed within chain-link fencing. Hence it is recommended that each WRC reserve should be excluded from the POS contribution and suitable alternative POS area be provided.

The northern semi-circular POS is proposed to be set aside for bushland retention. However, it is recommended that the surrounding road geometry and size of the POS area be suitably designed to facilitate the future option at this site for a rectangular senior soccer field.

The south-western corner of the subject land abuts a POS area proposed in the subdivision approval for the land to the immediate south of the subject land. Except for a small POS area, the draft LSP depicts a few residential lots backing on to this POS. These lots and the POS are located on a site, which contains a high ridge. Accordingly, they will most likely require extensive retaining walls on the rear boundary and would disturb the character of the POS area. To ensure that the high ridge will be retained in its natural state, it is considered appropriate that the residential lots be deleted to enlarge the POS area. This may ultimately require a reduction of POS elsewhere to maintain the 8% POS as required under Liveable Neighbourhoods. It is acknowledged however that the applicant can provide in excess of this amount.

Aboriginal and European Heritage

The City’s Municipal Inventory does not contain any European Heritage site or building within the subject area. Since the applicant has not provided any information on Aboriginal Heritage site(s), an Aboriginal Heritage Survey will be required.

Foreshore Management Plan

Although the applicant has not submitted a formal Foreshore Management Plan for assessment, it is considered appropriate that such a plan be assessed in conjunction the subject LSP. Therefore the applicant is requested to submit a formal Foreshore Management Plan for assessment prior to the adoption of the LSP.

Environment

A vegetation and flora survey has been conducted by the applicant for the subject land and has not revealed any vegetation of significance. The vegetation is mostly typical of near-coastal environments in the North-west Corridor. No Bush Forever site has been identified within the subject land, however it is noted that the adjacent foreshore reserve includes Bush Forever Site 397.

Employment and Sustainability

The City believes that a key issue in the preparation of structure plans and any other new development is the need to consider and address local employment opportunities. As part of its ongoing commitment to this issue the City engaged Derek Kemp to prepare a draft employment policy for the City. This is currently in a working draft format and is the subject of another report on this Agenda. Despite this, and in view of the work undertaken in light of the Butler Charette, it is recommended that the applicant is encouraged to address employment initiatives as part of this Local Structure Plan.

Statutory Compliance

Section 3.14 of DPS2 states that the objectives of the ‘Urban Development Zone’ are to:

a) designate land for future urban development;

b) provide for the orderly planning of large areas of land for residential and associated purposes through a comprehensive structure planning process;

c) enable planning to be flexible and responsive to changing circumstances throughout the development stages of the area.

To meet these objectives, DPS2 requires that, prior to any subdivision approvals being granted, an Agreed Structure Plan is prepared and adopted under Part 9 of the Scheme.

Issue

Adoption of the Butler (Brighton) Local Structure Plan for Lots 7, 8, 11, 31 to 33 Butler.

Applicant	Chappell & Lambert Town Planning Urban Design
Owner	Ministry of Housing, Quinns Development Pty Ltd and Butler Land Company Pty Ltd.
Location	Lots 7, 8, 11, 31 to 33, Butler
Site Area	584.0 hectares
DPS 2 Zoning	Residential and Urban Development

Background

Council at its meeting of 6 February 2001 considered the draft Butler (Brighton) Local Structure Plan (LSP) and resolved, inter alia, to advertise it seeking public comments subject to the applicant carrying out certain modifications (Refer Attachment 1) (W01-02/01).

Detail

Council may recall that the BJV as part of its original structure plan application had sought to introduce a number of R-Code variations particularly for setbacks which would constitute ‘as of right’ R-Code variations for building applications and development approvals. The basis for BJV’s proposal was an emphasis on residential design addressing solar access and associated benefits. In addition, reductions in private open space areas were also encouraged as it was also felt that with changing lifestyles residents would benefit from larger internal space.

Although Council supported the solar access initiative, it required that the provisions requested by BJV be modified to remove many of the setback provisions requested. The resulting table reflected the provisions as advertised and applied only to cottage lots. In regard to all traditional lots, variations to R-codes were not supported.

Front Setback

Open Space

Minimum Total Percentage of site

· 1.5 metre minimum

· 3.0 metre minimum average

· 6.0 metre maximum

· Garage/Car Port – 4.5 metre minimum

40% with an outdoor living area of at least 30m2 with a minimum dimension of 4.0 metre and accessible from an indoor living room

Consultation

The closing date for receiving submissions for the draft LSP was 26 October 2001.

The City received seven submissions. A schedule of these submissions and responses to them are detailed on Attachment 2. One of these submissions did not provide any comments. Of the remaining six submissions, one was made by Chappell & Lambert Pty Ltd (the Applicant) on behalf of the Butler Joint Venture (BJV). This submission primarily focused on the provisions applicable to residential development. The other submissions were from various professional associations including Satterley Property Group supporting this submission.

The applicant has proposed a number of R-code variations to the R25 cottage lots of 425 m²and below and R20 traditional lots of over 425 m², contrary to the variations included in the advertised LSP.

Attachment 3 shows are the proposed R-code variations suggested by the Applicant. They can be summarised as follows:

· A reduced front setback for all dwellings (cottage and traditional lots)

· A Zero lot line (ZLL) side setback at the southern or western boundary,

· A 2.0 metre minimum northern side setback excepting minor incursions such as a fire place applicable to ground floor;

· 30% minimum open space for cottage lots and 40% for traditional lots;

· Minimum dimension of outdoor living area to be 2 metres.

Comment

In line with the new urbanist principles of the Liveable Neighbourhoods, the applicant has proposed R-code variations to achieve siting of the dwellings and private open space areas to take advantage of winter solar access and summer sun deflection.

In general the City Administration supports the principles espoused by the applicant but differ in respect to how best to achieve the preferred result. City officers are cognisant that any provisions introduced to the structure plan should not in the first instance, conflict with the DPS2 or R-Codes and must also be capable of achieving the stated objectives. As such, officers have met with the BJV representatives to discuss the basis of the submission and to endeavour to negotiate on a suitable outcome. While there are still points of difference (and these are discussed below) it is considered appropriate to support certain provisions to increase the amount of variation but that these variations should be permitted only where a series of integrated performance criteria have been met by the proponent. Each of these variations should not be assessed independently but rather respective elements such as front and side setback variations open space variations, lot orientation and garage setbacks should be considered together against the performance criteria with the key objective being better solar access to the dwellings.

Although the applicant has requested R-code variations to cottage lots and all traditional lots, the Satterley Property Group on behalf of BJV clarified that in addition to the cottage lots, the R-code variations were proposed only in respect to those traditional lots between 425 and 550 m² and not for those traditional lots greater than 550 m².

For easy reference the traditional lots between 425 and 550 m² are denoted as ‘A-Type’ traditional lots.

The following comments about the main elements of the submission are made where they differ from those proposed in the draft LSP.

Front Setback

In regard to ‘A –Type’ traditional lots, the submittor has proposed a minimum 3 metre front setback with an average of 4.5 metres as against the 6.0 metre average required under the R-codes. As the minimum front setback conforms to the R-code provision, it is noted that a reduction in average setback is unlikely to affect the streetscape of the locality. Hence this variation is supported

The R-Codes provide that with the approval of Council the front setback for garages/carports may be reduced to 4.5 metres. The applicant during discussions with the City officers proposed that the garage/carport be allowed to within a 1.5 metre front setback. It is noted that if such a setback were to be provided, any car parked in tandem will obstruct the adjoining footpath. Therefore, it is recommended not to support a 1.5 metre front setback for garages/carports.

Side Setbacks

The applicant proposed a minimum 2.0 metre side setback on the northern or easternmost boundary, to maximise solar access by promoting more open space on the northern side of lots.

The City supports this variation on the basis that this requirement only applies to habitable rooms with major openings to achieve solar access. It is not considered appropriate to require this setback for non-habitable rooms such as toilets, bathrooms, etc. as solar access to such rooms are not considered necessary.

Minimum Open Space

While the R-codes require a minimum 50% open space for R20 and R25 residential lots, the applicant has suggested 30% for cottage lots and 40% for traditional lots.

Previously the City recommended a 40% minimum open space for cottage lots and no variation to the traditional lots. However, the applicant has again suggested that 30% minimum open space for cottage lots be considered provided the following performance criteria are satisfied.

1. the home is situated on the nominated mandatory ZLL boundary;

2. a courtyard is provided adjacent to the northern most lot boundary of a minimum of 30m² and a minimum width of 4 metres; and

3. the courtyard opens out from an internal living area.

The City is of the view that design and setback variations must be supported by the above performance criteria and on that basis a 30% open space provision is supported. In satisfying these performance criteria it should be ensured that quality open space is provided and not be used for clothes drying facilities etc.

Based on the above discussions the proposed R-code variations to cottage and ‘A Type’ traditional lots are indicated in Attachment 4.

Additional Modifications

The LSP provided details of the subdivision application area as previously approved by the WAPC in its approval 114669. The remaining areas were noted as ‘Subject to future Structure Planning’.

Council at its meeting of 16 October 2001 considered two subdivisional applications for portions of land falling within the ‘Future Structure Planning Area’ subject to modifications (PD01-10/01) (Refer Attachments 5 & 6). The modifications include deletion of the northern District Open Space and the abutting Primary School site. It is suggested that the draft LSP be modified to reflect the WAPC approval.

Distribution of Cottage Lot Precincts and ‘A Type’ Traditional lots

The applicant opposed the distribution of the cottage lot precincts as detailed in the advertised LSP around the Public Open Space and opposite Mixed Use/Business Use sites. The applicant argued that the distribution of these cottage lots need not be concentrated at these locations but rather should be located more widely to maximise opportunity.

It is suggested that the R-Code Map of the subject LSP denotes both Cottage Lot Precincts and ‘A Type’ traditional lots, as requested.

Statutory Compliance

Under the provisions of Clause 9.6 of DPS2, Council is required to consider all submissions received within sixty (60) days of the date specified in the notice given under Clause 9.5 of DPS2.

Issue

Consideration of proposed modifications to the Mindarie Keys Agreed Local Structure Plan (ALSP) and the associated Town Planning Scheme Amendment Number 8 to rezone Part Lot 962 Anchorage Drive, Mindarie.

Applicant	Chappell and Lambert Pty Ltd
Owner	The Mindarie Keys Joint Venture
Location	Part Lot 962 and Part Lot 965 Anchorage Drive, Mindarie
Site Area	1.2925 hectares and 4.4978 hectares
DPS 2 Zoning	Residential, Business, Commercial, Civic and Cultural (Part Lot 962); Residential (Part Lot 965)

Background

The Mindarie Keys ALSP was adopted by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) in November 1998, and has formed the statutory basis for ongoing subdivision and development in this locality. The ALSP designates Pt Lot 962 Anchorage Drive as a Local Centre, inclusive of a proposed community purposes site (5549 m² in area), and Pt Lot 965 as an Upper High School site (refer Attachment 1).

A subdivision application for Pt Lot 962 was lodged with the WAPC in June 2000, and subsequently referred to the City for its comments (WAPC Ref 114121). The submitted plan proposed to subdivide Pt Lot 962 for residential use (refer Attachment 2). The City did not support the application, as it was considered to be inconsistent with the ALSP. The City also resolved to advise the WAPC that it would not support any such proposals until a modification to the ALSP had been formally considered. In July 2000, the WAPC resolved to defer the application until the modification of the ALSP had been assessed and consideration given to an alternative location for the community purposes site.

In this regard, it should be noted that whilst ‘single residential’ is a discretionary use in the ‘Business’ and ‘Commercial’ zones, it cannot be accommodated within the ‘Civic’ zone, and as such, the re-zoning of the land to a more appropriate zone would also be required.

A subdivision application for Pt Lot 965 was lodged with the WAPC in August 2001 and subsequently referred to the City for its comments (WAPC Ref 117289). The submitted plan proposed to subdivide the whole of Pt Lot 965 into 65 residential lots.

As this lot was designated for an Upper High School in the ALSP, the City did not support the proposal. Again, the City advised the WAPC that it would not support any such proposals until a modification was made to the ALSP. A revised subdivision plan for Pt Lot 965 was lodged with the WAPC in September 2001, and subsequently referred to the City for comments. This revised plan proposed that the southern 3.23 ha of the site be developed as the Upper High School, while the northern 1.3 ha would be subdivided into 18 residential lots (refer Attachment 3). Given that the proposal was still inconsistent with the ALSP, the WAPC resolved in November 2001 to defer the subdivision application until the modification to the ALSP had been considered.

Detail

The City has received an application from Chappell and Lambert on behalf of the Mindarie Keys Joint Venture to modify the ALSP over Pt Lot 962 and Pt Lot 965 Anchorage Drive, Mindarie (refer Attachment 4). The Lots are 1.2925 hectares and 4.4978 hectares in size, respectively. The proponent seeks to designate Pt Lot 962 for residential use, and reduce the extent of Pt Lot 965 required for the Upper High School, allowing the remaining area to be designated for residential use.

The proposal as it relates to Pt Lot 962, will also require an Amendment to the Scheme to rezone the land from Business, Commercial and Civic Zone to Residential Zone (Amendment Number 8 to DPS 2).

Consultation

Under Section 9.7 of District Planning Scheme No.2 (DPS2), Council may, subject to the approval of the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), resolve to amend a Structure Plan. Where Council considers that public advertising is necessary, the following consultation shall be undertaken:

a) An advertisement being placed one or more times in a newspaper circulating in the district, advising of Council’s intention to consider the amendment;

b) A sign being erected on-site, advising of the development;

c) Written notice being given to residents who are likely to be affected by approval of the amendment;

The proposed modifications are considered to vary significantly from the ALSP, and as such, it is considered necessary to advertise the proposals for a period of 28 days, in accordance with the process outlined above.

The Town Planning Regulations provide for a statutory period of public consultation for scheme amendments. Should a proposed scheme amendment be consistent with the criteria set out by the Regulations in respect to things such as relevant State plans and policies, the MRS, etc, then the local government concerned may proceed to advertise the proposed amendment for submissions. As this matter is considered to be a variation from the ALSP, it is proposed that consent of the Western Australian Planning Commission to advertise this amendment is required.

Comment

1 Proposed Modifications to the ALSP for Part Lot 962

Under the Mindarie Keys ALSP, Pt Lot 962 is designated as a Local Centre, with provision for community purpose site of 5549 m². Under DPS 2, there are numerous zones over the Local Centre, including Residential, Business, Civic and Cultural and Commercial. The applicants propose to subdivide Pt Lot 962 to create 8 single residential lots and an 8000m² aged care facility. In this instance, it is considered appropriate to locate aged care facilities and additional single residential lots in close proximity to the commercial centre to promote good accessibility and utility of the existing services and facilities.

Alternative Location for Community Facility at Lot 211 Quinns Rocks

A multi-purpose community facility has been identified on the Local Structure Plan (LSP) for Lot 211 Quinns Road, located approximately 1.2km west of Pt Lot 962. This Council facility is intended to serve the recreational and community needs for the locality including a meeting/activity place and an appropriate facility to cater for the Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club. The site is immediately opposite a popular beach and is well located within an important recreational node. The WAPC has recently advised the City that it is willing to adopt the LSP for Lot 211 Quinns Road, subject to a number of minor changes being made, therefore resolving the issue of an alternative location for the community facility being provided. The design and development of the community facility is further considered as part of a separate report to Council in this agenda and includes consideration of the Mindarie Keys Joint Venture cash-in-lieu offer in lieu of ceding the proposed community facility at Pt Lot 962 to the City.

Retail Considerations

The City of Wanneroo Centres Strategy and Schedule 4 of DPS 2 specify a Net Lettable Area of 500m² (maximum retail floorspace) for the Mindarie North local centre. Over 1.4 hectares of land adjoining Pt Lot 962 has been developed for commercial purposes and comprises the Mindarie Central Commercial Centre, a café, fast food restaurants and a service station / convenience store. With consideration for these existing facilities, and given the close proximity of the area to Quinns Village, Clarkson Shopping Centre and Ocean Keys, the deletion of the requirement for additional commercial facilities on this undeveloped parcel of land is considered acceptable.

Amendment to DPS2

Under DPS2, Pt Lot 962 contains a number of different zones including Commercial, Business, Residential and Civic and Cultural. Single residential and grouped housing developments are ‘Discretionary’ uses in Commercial and Business zoned land (requiring the City’s assessment of a development application), and ‘Permitted’ uses on Residential zoned land. However, single residential and grouped housing developments are not permitted uses on land zoned Civic and Cultural.

While the proposed modification to the ALSP will designate Pt Lot 962 for residential use, Section 9.8.3(f) of DPS2 states that where there is an inconsistency or conflict between a provision or requirement of an Agreed Structure Plan, and a provision or requirement of the Scheme, the Scheme shall prevail. An amendment to DPS2 is therefore required to ensure consistency between the Scheme and the modified Structure Plan (Town Planning Scheme Number 8).

2. Proposed Modifications to the ALSP for Part Lot 965

Under the ALSP, the whole of Pt Lot 965 (4.5ha) is designated as an Upper High School site. The Education Department has recently advised that this site is too large for its requirements and that it may be reduced down to a 3.23ha site. Based on this, the Education Department has entered into a Contract of Sale with the MKJV to acquire a 3.23 hectare portion of Lot 965 for school purposes.

The Education Department has also recently lodged a development application with Council for the Upper High School, which City officers have supported and forwarded to the WAPC for their determination (as required by the provisions of the Town Planning and Development Act). The development proposal clearly demonstrated to the City that the proposed Upper High School would meet the necessary development requirements within the reduced land area, including access, car parking and setbacks.

The MKJV are proposing to subdivide the balance of Pt Lot 965 (1.3ha) into 18 single residential lots ranging in size between 500-650m². The proposal is considered to have merit, as it will effectively utilise the surplus land, not required by the Education Department, in a manner consistent with the existing Residential zoning of the land. The proposed modification to the ALSP would allow the subdivision application over Lot 965 to proceed.

It should be noted that this land is currently zoned Residential and does not require rezoning under DPS 2 to accommodate the proposed residential subdivision.

Public Open Space Schedule

The original public open space (POS) schedule in the Mindarie Keys ALSP reflected a 1.2099ha open space excess. The schedule included deductions for schools, local centres and other non-residential land uses. In consideration of the proposed modifications to the LSP, and other modifications being made to more accurately reflect vested POS areas, it has been demonstrated that there is still a public open space excess of 5004m².

Statutory Compliance

Clause 9.7 of DPS2 states that an agreed Structure Plan can be varied subject to the approval of the WAPC.

The Amendment will follow the statutory processes outlined in the Town Planning Regulations.

Issue

Consideration of an amendment to Carramar South/Tapping North Agreed Structure Plan.

Applicant	Peet & Company Ltd
Owner	Peet & Co Ltd ATF Yatala Unit Trust
Location	Lot 9002, Clarkson Avenue, Tapping
Site Area	Approximately 13.25 hectares
DPS 2 Zoning	Urban Development

Background

Council at its meeting of 3 July 2001 considered a proposal submitted by Peet & Company Ltd (the applicant) for the pre-funding of community infrastructure at the Carramar Golf Course Estate (Refer W264-07/01). This proposal included development of Carramar community and sporting facilities on land bounded by Joondalup Drive in the south, Houghton Drive in the west, a proposed subdivisional road to the north and Cheriton Drive to the East. This land forms part of Carramar South/Tapping North Agreed Structure Plan (ASP), and is proposed to contain, a Primary School (4.0 ha), a Neighbourhood Centre (2.5 ha), a Community Purpose Site (0.5 ha) and a Public Open Space (POS) (6.05 ha) (Refer Attachment 1).

The applicant as part of its pre-funding proposal, submitted a concept plan for the subject land indicating the location of the above uses. This plan also depicted a site for a proposed residential development. As the location of these uses and the proposed residential development were contrary to the ASP proposals, Council, at its July meeting resolved to, inter alia, request the applicant to submit a proposal to amend the ASP.

Detail

Peet & Company Ltd has now submitted a request to amend the ASP as depicted in Attachment 2 and 3. While Attachment 2 depicts lot configurations, Attachment 3 provides a diagrammatic representation of the development of this land. The salient features of the proposal are as follows.

1. The Local Centre is proposed at the corner of Joondalup Drive and Cheriton Drive on a site of 1.6165 ha. This Centre is proposed to provide a retail floor space of 4 500 m² Nett Leasable Area (NLA). In the ASP this centre was proposed on a site of 2.5 ha. The applicant has advised that the reduction in the site area would, however, not result in the reduction in the proposed NLA for this centre.

A 13 metre wide road has been proposed on the western and northern boundaries of the Centre as an interface between the Centre and the other uses.

2. The Primary School is proposed at the north-western corner of the subject land. In the ASP this school was proposed on a site of 4.0 ha. Since the school will be sharing the adjoining POS, the Education Department of Western Australia (EDWA), has agreed to a lesser site of 3.5 ha. The applicant advised that the new location is EDWA’s preferred location.

3. The POS areas of 1.9752 and 3.4581 ha have been located on the southern and eastern sides of the Primary School site. The total extent of the POS areas, (ie: 5.4333 ha) is less than the extent of POS proposed in the ASP. The applicant has proposed to increase the size of the easternmost POS within the ASP area by a commensurate amount.

4. The Community purpose site is centrally located in relation to the Primary School and the POS areas. This site would essentially be a sports pavilion with additional facilities to use as meeting rooms etc. The proposed parking facilities would be shared between the users of the POS and Community facilities.

5. In view of the reduction in the extent of the Primary School and the Local Centre sites, a R40 residential development is proposed at the north-eastern corner of the subject land.

The applicant has also provided a detailed revised pre-funding proposal for a grassed oval, community pavilion and associated car parking facilities.

Consultation

As the new location of the Primary School is likely to have an impact on the nearby residents, pursuant to Clause 9.5 of the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2, this proposal will be subject to a public consultation process, inviting comments for a period of 42 days.

Comment

The following comments are provided in consultation with the City’s Community and Technical Services Directorates.

Amendment to ASP

Local Centre

The proposal makes provision for a left-in left out road adjacent to the Local Centre from Joondalup Drive and Cheriton Drive. While right turn movements into this Centre from Joondalup Drive will not be supported due to the close proximity of this road to the Joondalup/Cheriton Drive junction, necessary arrangements will be required to ensure right turn movements into the Centre from Cheriton Drive. This will require some modifications to the median islands on Cheriton Drive.

A proposed entry into the centre carpark is located about 30 metres from the junction of Cheriton Drive and Innesvale Way. Consequently, traffic from Innesvale Way into the Centre is likely queue-up disrupting the movement of traffic on Cheriton Drive. It is recommended that the entry into the carpark be positioned opposite the Cheriton Drive/Innesvale Way junction to create a 4-way intersection. This modification can be carried out at the detailed design stage.

The Community Purposes site

The proposed location of the community purposes site does create a level of concern, given that the site has moved from its original location adjacent to an arterial road with good access/exposure to the centre of the site.

Whilst the need to economise resources and construct a facility where it may potentially service two sports grounds is acknowledged, provisions would need to be made to ensure that this site has the maximum opportunity for natural and passive surveillance and is clearly visible from surrounding areas.

Whilst the need for the shopping centre to have a “retail face” centred towards the community purposes site has been acknowledged in the application for the structure plan amendment, the plans proposed for the site do not indicate that this will occur. Instead service bays facing the community purposes site and car park are proposed. A configuration of this nature again limits natural surveillance and may see an increase in the level of anti social behaviour that is experienced on the site. The City already has several examples of community buildings in this configuration where such problems exist.

In order to assure good surveillance, it is suggested the carparking associated with the community pavilion be located closer to the facility.

These matters can be further considered following advertising.

Public Open Space

The applicant has acknowledged that the shortfall in POS will be accommodated by increasing the size of the easternmost POS area within the applicant’s landholding. Given the applicant has not sought subdivision approval for about 25% of the landholding, the applicant’s proposal can be considered. However, as this will again require another amendment to the ASP, it is suggested that the subject amendment proposals also include this matter.

Residential Development

The applicant has not provided details of the proposed residential development. However, by orienting the proposed dwellings to face the adjoining POS area, the development would provide additional surveillance of the POS and the Community Purposes site.

Pre-funding Proposal

The revised pre-funding proposal suggests a tripartite partnership between the City, Peet and Company Ltd and the EDWA for the provision of a grassed oval, community pavilion and associated car parking on the subject site.

In terms of capital costs to the City, Peet and Company Ltd are, therefore, suggesting a commitment by Council, over the next five financial years, of $575,446 plus GST, of which $470,000 would be via a pre-funding arrangement.

Reviewing Council’s original resolution in regard to the pre-funding arrangement, the revised proposal from Peet and Company Ltd does address:

· A commitment from the Education Department for the construction of a school in the area and agreement to the pre-funding and shared management of facilities - confirmation has been received in regard to both the construction of a school on this site in the current term of the State Government (within 2 – 4 years) and further clarification has been provided regarding the Department’s commitment to the pre-funding of carparking and the junior oval proposed for the site

· A community based management structure for the proposed pavilion, which is in accordance with present City policy and practices

· A proposed arrangement for the initial management and maintenance of the active open space, with provisions for future agreements to be made by the City with the Education Department

The proposal does still, however, suggest that:

· The City contribute 50% of the construction costs associated with the junior oval proposed for the site – the justification provided for this contribution is that both the community pavilion and oval are reliant on one another and support each other’s activities. Acceptance of this justification would require a change to Council’s original resolution in regard to the oval.

The structure plan amendment submitted with this proposal fully supports the pre-funding arrangement suggested.

The public comment period required for this amendment and its resultant conclusions may, however, significantly change both the land use and locations of particular uses on the site. In turn, changes of this nature will affect the proposed pre-funding arrangement.

Given the relationship between the structure plan amendment and the pre-funding proposal, it is recommended that Council notes the terms of the revised pre-funding proposal and defers a decision regarding this proposal until the amendments to the structure plan accommodating this agreement are confirmed.

Statutory Compliance

Clause 9.7 of DPS2 states that an agreed Local Structure Plan can be amended subject to the approval of the WAPC.

Issue

Consideration of the proposed rural subdivision of Lot 17 (54) Lakeview Street, Mariginiup into two lots of 2.0069 and 2.007 hectares (ha).

Applicant	S F Winnett
Owner	S F Winnett
Location	Lakeview Street, Mariginiup
Site Area	4.0139 ha
DPS 2 Zoning	Rural Resource

Background

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has referred a rural subdivision application for Lot 17 (54) Lakeview Street, Mariginiup (Attachment 1) to the City for consideration. The subject land is located north of Lakeview Street, between Mariginiup Road and Rousset Road (refer Attachment 2), and has 2 houses constructed along the Lakeview Street frontage.

Subdivision applications are generally assessed under the City’s delegated authority to ensure a timely and efficient response. However, this application has been referred to Council for its determination since it is considered to be of a potentially contentious nature.

Council has previously considered two earlier subdivision applications over this land. These applications were not supported by Council and subsequently refused by the WAPC as they were contrary to the City’s “Subdivision of Rural Zoned Land” policy and the WAPC “Rural Small Holdings” policy. (WAPC references 88415 and 107978).

Detail

The owner of Lot 17 has applied to the WAPC to subdivide the rural property into two lots of 2.0069 and 2.007 ha. Lot 17 is located on the north side of Lakeview Street and is zoned Rural Resource under District Planning Scheme Number 2 (DPS2).

Consultation

Under the provisions of the Town Planning and Development Act 1928, the WAPC is the responsible authority for determining subdivision applications. This Act does not require the WAPC to advertise subdivision applications for public consultation.

Comment

The following comments are made in respect to the subject land.

Water Allocation

The Water and Rivers Commission (WRC) has informally advised the City that Lot 17 currently has a water license for 18,550 kilolitres per annum, valid until 2011. This water allocation is considered to be sufficient for 1.8ha of pasture, 0.4ha of lawns and gardens, light stock and domestic use. The WRC has also advised that there is limited opportunity for further groundwater allocation in this area. However, should subdivision of the subject site be approved, the current water allocation for Lot 17 could be split between the two landowners, or alternatively, an additional 1500 kilolitres per annum could be made available should one of the landowners fully utilises the 18,500 kilolitres.

Although groundwater in the area is limited, landowners also have the option of ‘water trading’, where landowners could purchase additional groundwater allocations from lots in the vicinity.

Soil Category

Under the ‘Coastal Land and Groundwater for Horticulture from Gingin to Augusta’ study, which was undertaken in 1997 by a number of government agencies (including WRC and Agriculture WA), the majority of the lot is included in an area rated as ‘high capability’ land for horticulture (Class 1 and 2, for market gardens, orchards and vines).

A small portion of land in the north-eastern corner of the subject site is rated ‘fair to high capability’ land for horticulture (class 3, limitations for some horticultural crops).

It is reasonable to suggest that given the property’s generally high soil capability, the current water allocations and the potential for further water allocation through “water trading”, it is desirable to preserve the opportunity of viable horticulture by maintaining the existing lot size.

Previous Applications

The landowner has previously applied for subdivision applications over Lot 17. Council did not support the applications, as the proposed lot sizes were contrary to the City’s Rural Subdivision Policy. These applications were subsequently refused by the WAPC as the proposed lots were contrary to the Commissions Rural SmallHoldings Policy’s minimum lot size. .

The first WAPC decision (1993) was appealed to the Minister for Planning, who upheld the WAPC’s decision, based on the precedent that an approval would create for further subdivision and fragmentation of land holdings in the area. The second WAPC decision (1998) was appealed to the Town Planning Appeal Tribunal, but was withdrawn at the applicant’s request.

Adjoining Lot Sizes

There are several lots zoned Rural Resource in the vicinity of the subject land which are approximately 2 hectares in size. These lots are generally located on the south side of Lakeview Street, and were approved on appeal to the Minister for Planning.

Two Houses on One Rural Lot Policy

In June 1994, Council issued planning approval for a second dwelling on Lot 17. At this time Council policy required a legal agreement to be signed by Council and the landowners to preclude subdivision. However, in this instance, although a condition of the development approval required the preparation of such a deed, no agreement was pursued as part of the issue of a building license. Although the second house has since been constructed on the land (without the preparation of a legal agreement), this obligation remains outstanding and should be considered with due regard, against this proposal.

It should be noted that under Section 3.17.3 of DPS2, there is a requirement for land zoned Rural Resource, south of Flynn Drive, to be a minimum of 5 hectares before Council will support an application for a second dwelling on the property. Lot 17 is only 4.0139ha in size, and as such would not meet the requirements of the current Scheme.

Discussion

The Interim Local Rural Strategy acknowledges that Council may give consideration to a subdivision proposal where special circumstances may exist and were rezoning may not be necessary. However, it should be noted that in this case, the applicant has not put forward any grounds to support the subdivision.

Statutory Compliance

Under Section 24 (2) of the Town Planning and Development Act 1928, the City is required to forward its comments to the WAPC within 42 days of receiving the referral. The application was received on 22 November 2001 and it is considered that Council will be able to make its determination on this application within the 42-day comment period.

Strategic Implications

Nil.

Policy Implications

Under Section 3.17 of DPS, one of the objectives of the Rural Resource zone is to,

a) Protect from incompatible uses or subdivision, intensive agriculture, horticultural and animal husbandry areas with the best prospects for continued or expanded use.

To ensure this objective is met, Council has implemented a Policy on the Subdivision of Rural Zoned Land. Item 1 of the Policy provides that in Rural zoned land south of Flynn Drive and Neaves Road, Council shall only support subdivision where each lot yielded by the proposed subdivision contains a minimum area of 4 hectares. In this instance, the proposal does not satisfy this requirement.

Financial Implications

Recommendation

That Council does NOT SUPPORT the application submitted by S F Winnett for the proposed subdivision of Lot 17 (54) Lakeview Street, Mariginiup as depicted on the plan dated 16 October 2001 (WAPC 117695) for the following reasons:

1. The application is inconsistent with Council’s Subdivision of Rural Zoned Land Policy, which specifies a minimum lot size of 4 hectares in this locality.

2. The introduction of smaller lots in this locality is inconsistent with the objectives of the Rural Resource zone under the City’s District Planning Scheme Number 2.

Issue

Consideration of an application for the proposed Quinns/Mindarie Community Facility and Restaurant/Café on Lot 211 Ocean Drive, Mindarie.

Applicant	City of Wanneroo
Owner	City of Wanneroo
Location	Lot 211 Ocean Drive, Mindarie
DPS 2 Zoning	Park and Recreation
MRS Zoning	Park and Recreation

Background

In March 2000, the City appointed Hames Sharley Consultants to undertake the preparation of a Structure Plan for Lot 211. The need for such a study emanated from the following:

1. Strategic Importance of the Site for a Recreation and Tourism Node;

2. The need for a Multi-Purpose Community Facility in this location to serve local community needs (including Quinns Mindarie Surf Live Saving Club and Quinns Rocks Fishing Club);

3. The need to consider the potential for other additional uses to be accommodated on the site for example, a public restaurant/café facility;

4. The upcoming expiration of the Quinns Rocks Caravan Park lease and future options for this land;

5. Bushplan implications for the lot.

To assist the consultants with their task, Council also resolved to form a Consultative Committee which comprised the ward Councillors, Directors of Planning and Development Services and Technical Services, representatives of the Quinns/Mindarie Surf Lifesaving Club, Quinns Rocks Fishing Club, Mindarie Community Group and other community representatives. In addition, representatives of the Community Development Directorate also attended the meetings.

An internal Working Group was also formed to provide technical advice to the consultants. This group consisted of staff from relevant departments.

A draft Structure Plan was submitted to the Council for its consideration and was the subject of extensive public consultation and community participation. Council at its meeting of May 2001 (W171-05/01) ultimately resolved to adopt a local structure plan for the subject site and forward it to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for adoption and certification (refer Attachment No 1).

As Council is aware, the WAPC advised Council on 12 November 2001 that it had adopted the Structure Plan for Lot 211 as a guideline for the consideration of development applications on this lot.

Council will note that in February 2001 (Report W69-01/01), it considered the matter of the preparation of more detailed plans for the Community buildings and associated infrastructure on the site. The Council subsequently resolved to:

1. The preparation of detailed plans for the development of a community facility incorporating a surf lifesaving club on Lot 211 Ocean Drive, Mindarie;

2. The establishment of a project reference group for advisory purposes on the project which includes representatives of the Surf Lifesaving Club, Fishing Club and two Coast Ward Councillors;

3. Allocate $25,000 from Project No 1019 Quinns Mindarie Surf Lifesaving Amenity to employ Hames Sharley Architects to prepare the plans which are to be submitted to Council for consideration along with the Draft Structure Plan for Lot 211;

4. Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to enter into negotiations with the Mirvac Fini Group regarding the possible surrender of a community purposes site in exchange for its financial value being contributed to the development of the project.

Detail

The City has now received a Planning Application for the Quinns/Mindarie Community Facility, a proposed Restaurant/Café and associated infrastructure (refer Attachment No 2). The proposal incorporates following components:

1. A lifesaving and essential services building – proposed to house the vehicles and lifesaving equipment of the Surf Club, and provide an office, first-aid room and gymnasium for its members and toilet and shower facilities for the use of the general public.

2. A restaurant/café – for the use of visitors of the beach or surrounding area and is proposed to have a dining area of 200m² in a prominent location. It should be noted that it is not intended that the City will build this facility but rather, once the proposed development has been approved, a ground lease will be advertised seeking a commercial operator.

3. A multi-purpose community building – designed to be a home for the Surf Lifesaving Club and the Quinns Rocks Fishing Club as well as a multi-purpose flexible space providing for other community groups and functions.

4. A carparking area containing approximately 175bays with the possibility of further expansion or overflow parking on the grass at the northeast end of the carpark and associated landscaping works.

The development is proposed to be completed over three stages:

Stage 1: the construction of the lifesaving and essential services building, the construction of a mini-roundabout on Quinns Drive, new access road to the existing Caravan Park, a private access road from the new building to the beach and the necessary associated parking. The existing parking and toilet block on the beachfront will be demolished once the new car park and public toilets replace these facilities.

Stage 2: the construction of the Multi-purpose community facility (and adjoining Restaurant/Café), all associated landscaping and additional parking as required.

Stage 3: includes landscaped features, artwork, additional pathways and steps to the beach.

As already noted, Council previously resolved to authorise the Chief Executive Officer to enter into negotiations with the Mirvac Fini Group regarding a cash-in-lieu payment for the proposed community purposes site at Pt Lot 962 Anchorage Drive, Mindarie. The subject site is approximately 5549m² and was identified as a possible community purpose site at the time the Mindarie area was first structure planned. However, the City has since reviewed the need for this site particularly in light of the proximity of the Gumblossom facilities, and the current initiatives for Lot 211.

The Mindarie Keys Joint Venture (MKJV) subsequently wrote to the City in June 2001 with a copy of a valuation for the subject site prepared by Jones Lang LaSalle. The market value of this site was placed at $250,000 and MKJV has now offered this amount to the City in lieu of ceding the community purpose site subject to two main conditions:

1. That the cash-in-lieu payment (in its entirety) be directed towards construction of the new Quinns Surf Club facility on Lot 211 Ocean Drive Mindarie; and

2. That Council approves MKJV’s alternative proposal for the site, which would either be a nursing home site, commercial or residential.

Consultation

As already noted, significant consultation was undertaken in regard to the Local Structure Plan and generated considerable public interest.. The proposal is generally consistent with the approved Local Structure Plan for Lot 211. Despite this, the Structure Plan is only a guide and in lieu of the Parks and Recreation Reservation of the land, any proposed use or development is considered discretionary and will require further public consultation.

Comment

Whilst administration has not concluded its assessment of this application, it is considered that the proposal is generally acceptable. Accordingly, it is considered warranted to proceed to advertise the application now to ensure that the application can be dealt with early in the New Year.

On this basis, it is proposed to advertise the application for a period of 42 days. This is to allow adequate opportunity for the community to comment over the Christmas period. Advertising will also include appropriate signage on site, newspaper advertising and letters to all owners within 200m of the proposed development.

Council will note that the application has been referred to the WAPC. Given the MRS Reservation of the land, the Council is ultimately only required to provide its recommendations on the proposal to the WAPC which is the determining authority. Although it is unable to determine the application, it is recommended that the application be assessed in consideration of the requirements of District Planning Scheme No 2 and other Policy requirements.

Finally, on the matter of the offer by MKJV. The City sought approval from the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) on this matter, as in a planning sense, community purpose sites are regarded as part of the public open space contributions for an area. Officers from DPI subsequently advised that although the WAPC’s approval would ordinarily be required for a cash-in-lieu proposal, this would only be necessary if the POS contribution was being reduced below the normal 10%. In this case, the Mindarie area already has in excess of 10% and despite the current proposal, a minimum of 10% will still be maintained. Accordingly, the DPI has confirmed that the City can enter into arrangements with MKJV as proposed.

The City has reviewed the valuation report provided by MKJV and is satisfied that the amount being offered is satisfactory. In regard to the two conditions raised by MKJV, the following comments are offered:

1. The 1^st stage funding for the Lot 211 facilities has included the $250,000 cash-in-lieu payment proposed by MKJV and consequently, the City will ensure that expenditure of this money is limited to this project;

2. Whilst the City cannot guarantee the out come of any proposed rezoning of Pt Lot 962 Anchorage Drive, Mindarie, the matter is the subject of a separate report to Council on its current agenda recommending support for the changes requested.

Statutory Compliance

Mindarie Keys Joint Venture $ 250,000

Surf Life Saving Club (Lotteries) $ 150,000

CSRFF (to be confirmed March 02) $ 246,333

Municipal Fund 2001/02 $ 350,000

Municipal Fund 2002/03 $ 300,000

Total $ 1,296,333

The total estimated cost for stage one is $1,495,000 leaving a shortfall of $198,667. This shortfall may be able to be overcome through modifications to the building specifications and/or modifications to the staging of the project.

There is also a possibility that stage two could be funded by a private developer in return for a long term lease on the proposed Café and/or some form of management rights of the proposed community facility. The City could determine the net present value of future lease income, based on an independent valuation and seek developer contributions for this amount in exchange for the future lease payments. Administration will need to further explore the opportunities for such an arrangement.

Issue

To determine an application for two pylon signs to serve a vehicle sales premises development.

Applicant	Project Neon
Owner	Automotive Holdings Group
Location	Lot 4 (1) Lancaster Road, Wangara
DPS 2 Zoning	Business

Background

On 14 August 2000, an application for the construction of new premises for a Toyota, Diahatsu and Hyundai dealership was approved. The Toyota and Diahatsu dealerships are proposed to be contained in a southern building on the corner of Wanneroo and Lancaster Roads. This building is now under construction. The Hyundai dealership is proposed in a second building to the immediate north. Construction of the Hyundai dealership has not yet commenced.

The approval incorporated a range of facsia signs to advertise the development.

A location plan, site plan and elevation details of the signs and buildings are outlined in Attachments 1-4.

Detail

Proposal

The present application proposes two pylon signs, one for the Toyota and one for the Diahatsu component of the development. The Toyota pylon is proposed to be 12.0 metres in height by 4.6 metres in width. The Diahatsu pylon is proposed to be 8.0 metres in height by approximately 3.0 metres in width. Each of the signs are proposed along the Wanneroo Road frontage of the site and will be separated by approximately 90 metres.

A summary of the applicant’s justification for the signs, and in particular the size of the signs is as follows:

1. The property is not located near any residential properties;

2. There is no shadow impact from the signs;

3. The site has a wide frontage and is therefore isolated from other business premises;

4. The visual impact of the signs would be minimal;

5. The buildings are well set back from Wanneroo Road, which would provide a visual relief between the buildings and signs;

6. The signs are extremely necessary to provide a site indicator, given the large building setback from Wanneroo Road.

7. The signs are located on the lowest portion of the site, which minimises the visual impact of the signs;

8. The Wanneroo Road median strip vegetation obstructs the view to the property for northbound traffic. The signs are necessary to assist in conducting a viable business;

9. Future buildings adjacent to the site will diminish the effectiveness of the facsia signs;

10. An 8 metre high pylon sign has been constructed at the nearby BP Service Station;

11. Wanneroo Road is Wanneroo’s main thoroughfare; and

12. Other metropolitan local authorities allow similar signs as those proposed.

Planning Requirements

District Planning Scheme No2 contains the following objectives in relation to signs:

(a) to ensure that the visual quality and character of particular localities and transport corridors are not eroded;

(b) to achieve advertising signs that are not misleading or dangerous to vehicular or pedestrian traffic;

(c) to minimise the total area and impact of outdoor advertising commensurate with the realistic needs of commerce for such advertising;

(d) to prohibit outdoor advertising which is considered to be superfluous or unnecessary by virtue of their number, colours, height, prominence, visual impact, size, relevance to the premises on which they are located, number and content;

(e) to reduce and minimise clutter; and

(f) to promote a high standard of design and presentation in outdoor advertising.

DPS2 further requires:

Without limiting the generality of the matters which may be taken into account when making a decision upon an application for Planning Approval to erect, place or display an advertisement, Council shall examine each such application in the light of the objectives of the Scheme and with particular reference to the character and amenity of the locality within which it is to be displayed, including its historic or landscape significance and traffic safety, and the amenity of adjacent areas which may be affected.

Comment

This development is the first of a number Wanneroo Road frontage sites that will develop on the land between the existing Wangara industrial area and the future interchange of Wanneroo Road and Whitfords Avenue. A 10 metre wide landscape strip separates these lots from Wanneroo Road.

The dealership building is designed as a landmark structure, with distinctive fascia and roof forms and integrated signage panels that will draw the attention of passing traffic, regardless of any pylon signage at the front of the site. The building itself is setback some 42 metres from the street (including the landscape strip), however has a finished floor level some 2.8 metres higher that Wanneroo Road and a fascia height varying between 9 and 13 metres.

Whilst the pylon signs are well designed and spaced along the Wanneroo Road frontage, the scale of the signs are considered inconsistent with the objectives of DPS2 which seek to minimise signage to a realistic minimum. Council has consistently restricted pylon signs to a maximum height of 6 metres. The only exception is the case of a large centre, such as a shopping centre, where a larger pylon advertising the centre motif is often approved. The rationale for the larger sign in these cases is that a single, larger pylon, advertising the overall shopping centre is a more appropriate planning outcome, than a series of individual pylons for each shop. As an example, Council may recall an 11.2 metre high pylon sign approved for the Ocean Keys Shopping Centre in March 2001. With Council’s consistent application of the 6 metre height limit, Wanneroo has escaped the excessive scale of pylon signs that are commonplace in many other metropolitan local authorities. In fact only a minimal number of historic examples, including the BP service station near the corner of Wanneroo Road and Ocean Reef Road, as identified by the applicant, exist in Wanneroo.

There is however no objection to two pylon signs in the locations proposed, at a maximum height of 6 metres, a maximum width of 2.5 metres, consistent with Council’s normal requirements. For safety reasons, unless the sign panel extends close to the ground, a minimum ground clearance of 2.75 metres should also be required.

Statutory Compliance

There is discretionary power under District Planning Scheme No. 2 for Council to approve the application, as proposed, if it considers it appropriate.

Strategic Implications

The proposed 8 and 12 metre high pylon signs are significantly larger that Council’s normal height limit and an approval would establish an undesirable precedent for the approval of further large pylon signs along Wanneroo Road and throughout Wanneroo generally.

Policy Implications

Council has recently engaged a consultant to prepare a sign policy. It is envisaged that an amendment to District Planning Scheme No2 and a new Signs Local Law will stem from the adoption of this policy. An initial draft of this policy has been prepared and is the subject of a separate report on this agenda. This initial draft retains a 6 metre height limit for pylon signs, which the consultant advises is consistent with that of many other local authorities.

Whilst the policy is yet to be adopted by Council, it does not suggest an increase to the City’s normal height requirement is appropriate.

Financial Implications

Nil.

Voting Requirements

Background

Detail

The City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme 2 (DPS2) provides Council with development approval powers which are designed to avoid conflict between different land uses on adjoining lots. It is also necessary to ensure the completed developments meet the required standards such as building setbacks, carparking and landscaping. Planning approvals are not generally required for single residential houses unless they seek to vary the requirements of the Residential Planning Codes (R Codes).

The City of Wanneroo continues to experience very rapid growth pressures with between 80 to 130 development applications being received per month in addition to an average of 400 to 500 building license applications.

Council has delegated some of its responsibilities for decision making on development applications to Council Administration which enables the processing of applications within the required 60 day statutory period and within normal customer expectations.

Council Administration, in assessing development proposals, attempts to extract from the relevant planning documents the key policies and requirements of Council in order to make comments and recommendations on the issues raised in the assessment of each individual development application.

Development applications determined by Planning & Development between 1 November 2001 and 30 November 2001, acting under Delegated Authority from Council are included in Attachment 1.

Issue

Determination of subdivision applications processed in the period between 1 November and 30 November 2001.

Detail

The West Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for determining all subdivision applications within the State. Applications for approval are lodged with the WAPC and are referred to local governments and affected public bodies for comment. Comments are made within 42 days of receiving the application after which the Commission determines the applications. There is a right of appeal by the applicant if aggrieved with the Commission’s decision.

Council has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer its functions relating to the provision of comments to the Commission on subdivision applications. The Chief Executive Officer has in turn delegated to the Planning and Development Division this responsibility. A Land Development Unit has been established to assist with the assessment of all applications.

Those applications considered to be either controversial in nature or contrary to Council policy, are referred to Council for consideration. All other applications are dealt with in respect to the following categories.

SCU 1 Subdivision applications received which are generally consistent with an approved or Agreed Structure Plan (including Outline Development Plan and Development Guide Plan).

SCU 2 Subdivision applications previously supported, or not supported by Council and subsequently determined by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) consistent with the Council’s recommendation.

SCU 3 Applications for extension of subdivisional approval issued by the WAPC which were previously supported by Council.

SCU 4 Applications for subdivision or amalgamation which result from conditions of development approval given by or on behalf of Council.

SCU 5 Applications for subdivision or amalgamation of lots which would allow the development of the land for uses permitted in the zone within which that land is situated including applications involving the excision of land for road widening, sump sites, school sites, etc.

SCU 6 Applications for subdivision or amalgamation of lots contrary to Council or WAPC Policy or are not generally consistent with an approved or Agreed Structure Plan.

The following table provides the details of the subdivision applications dealt with under delegated authority between 1 November and 30 November 2001.

Issue

Consideration of an Employment Policy for major residential developments in the City of Wanneroo.

Background

Much of the City of Wanneroo is at the urban fringe and as a consequence, there is a lack of employment self-containment. There are a large number of major residential developments currently proceeding throughout the City and many more proposed to continue for the next 30 years. Without the provision of adequate employment for the resident workforce, the City will be vulnerable to economic stress, high unemployment and the prospect of increasing social, community and transportation problems.

A major aim of economic development initiatives is the provision of sufficient jobs in the City of Wanneroo to match the City’s resident workforce. The City needs to consider the employment outcomes of all proposals that incorporate major residential development. One way to address employment creation and retention is through an “Employment Policy”. The benefit of such a document is that it will clearly indicate the expectations of the City in regard to this issue and will also reinforce its leadership role.

In recent months, it has been noted in several reports to Council that the matter of employment generation has not been dealt with adequately by some structure planning proposals. An important element of a policy therefore would be its ability to require developers to prepare an ‘Employment Strategy’ to accompany any Structure Plan submitted for consideration by Council. This Strategy would establish the likely employment implications of the proposed development and it could demonstrate how the proponent developer would ensure adequate provision of employment opportunities for the resident workforce expected to reside in the proposed development.

Derek Kemp, an employment and development consultant, has prepared a paper for the City which proposes a possible policy and mechanism for implementation. A copy of Mr Kemp’s paper has been placed in the Elected Members Reading Room. Attachment No 1 to this report comprises extracts of key parts of Mr Kemp’s paper: the Draft Planning Policy, and an ‘Executive Overview’ of his proposal.

Detail

Mr Kemp’s draft policy has been reviewed by the Economic Development Committee and the City’s Officers. The key features of his draft policy are:

1. A requirement for developers of “Major Residential Developments’ (ie. involving more than 200 dwellings) to prepare Employment Strategies aimed at ensuring that there is adequate provision of employment opportunities for the resident workforce expected to reside in the proposed development.

2. A methodology to be followed in the preparation of Employment Strategies which essentially involves the following process:

a) the calculating of the ‘employment liability’ of the proposed development. This is done by calculating the expected resident workforce (using a formulae given) then applying an ‘employment self-sufficiency’ rate which ranges from 25% (of the resident workforce) for small developments to 65% for very large developments. The resulting figure is the ‘employment liability’.

b) the development of strategies which will result in the creation of ‘employment credits’, the aim being to have at least as many ‘credits’ as ‘liabilities’. Three ways are presented for the earning of credits:

i) doing employment generating/supportive activities and designs within the development itself (eg. having shops; offices; housing readily converted to commercial/retail use; centrally located child care centres, halls, health/fitness centres).

ii) obtaining credits (created by activities and designs referred to in i) above) from outside of the development area;

iii) undertaking ‘economic and employment initiatives’ (eg. small business incubators; skate board parks and trails; provision of ‘cable’ telecommunication to lots).

Detailed formulae are provided for calculating credits. To facilitate transferring of credits as referred to in 2. b) ii) above, a system of Registration of Credits and Liabilities and Certificates of Credit is proposed.

Comment

The following issues warrant particular consideration in respect of the proposal presented:

1 It would involve the City in the administration of a potentially complex system of registration of employment liabilities, credits and transfers. The practicality of this requires careful consideration.

2 Implementation of the draft policy in its present form could present some further difficulty. While it would be straighforward for the Council to adopt the draft policy if it wished, its enforceability as a policy could be difficult, particularly if it is not supported by the State Government agencies involved in land development and the development industry. To make it enforceable would involve the use of instruments such as District Planning Scheme No 2, the amendment of which would require support of the WA Planning Commission and the Minister for Planning.

Given the above issues, and particularly the desirability of working to address this matter in partnership with the other key stakeholders involved, it is considered that it may be preferable to not consider adoption of Mr Kemp’s proposal at this time, but rather to view it as a working document and assess it further, working with the key stakeholders.

It is therefore recommended that a number of stakeholders be invited to workshop the idea. Seeking the appropriate inputs and expertise from external sources would help to create a greater level of commitment to the strategy and also legitimate the policy. Under this approach, the policy could be developed in a staged approach instead of being put forward to developers in complete form. It would also be possible to adopt the policy for an initial trial period.

It will be important that in addressing this matter to the other stakeholders involved, due regard is had for the fact that substantial parts of the future urban areas are already the subject of intensive study regarding ways of improving the level of local employment which can be achieved (eg. the recent Butler-Jindalee Planning Charrette; the Yanchep-Two Rocks IDEA Project; the proposed Planning Workshop for the Yanchep-Two Rocks area to be held early next year).

A requirement for preparation of Employment Strategies by developers may at first glance be considered to be an unrealistic and onerous requirement to attempt to impose on developers. However, the implications of not seeking to adequately address this issue (as alluded to earlier in this report) are considered to be such as to warrant serious (and if necessary, relatively radical) action. It will therefore be important that in introducing this initiative to the other stakeholders involved, the issues concerned and the implications of not taking serious and effective action are clearly presented and accepted so as to lay a sound foundation for the development of the proposed policy.

Proposed Programme

The following is a programme which indicates the timing which may be involved in progressing this initiative. It should be noted that it makes allowance for some delay over the Christmas/New Year period.

· 18 Dec 2001: Council decision to proceed with investigation; letters sent to key stakeholders, forwarding copy of Kemp paper and inviting to Workshop.

· Jan/Feb 2002: Workshop with key stakeholders.

· February 2002: Consideration by Economic Development Committee.

· March 2002: Policy Forum regarding outcome of Workshop; Economic Development Committee views; proposal for progressing initiative, including draft Policy for adoption.

· April 2002 Report to Council.

· April 2002 Advertise draft Policy for public comment.

· May 2002 Close of comment period and report to Council on comment received; proposed final Policy for adoption.

It should be noted that the above programmes are very optimistic, particularly in respect to the DPS2 amendment option, which would represent a ‘fast tracking’ approach.

Issue

To consider a request to erect an estate sign associated with the MacQuarie Heights Estate.

Applicant	Australand Pty Ltd
Owner	Crown Land vested in the City of Wanneroo
Location	Reserve 45970 (2) Kirkstall Drive, Hocking
Site Area	2512m2
DPS 2 Zoning	Urban Development

Background

An initial sign for the MacQuarie Heights estate was erected on the corner of Wanneroo and East Roads in approximately 1997. This sign was removed in 2000 when the estate’s development front moved further north. The initial sign was the same size as that currently proposed.

A number of unauthorised signs were erected within the road reserve at the intersection of Wanneroo Road and Kirkstall Road earlier this year, advertising both the estate and an adjacent display village. These signs have since been removed.

Detail

A new estate sign is proposed to be erected and is 6 metres wide by 3 metres high and will be set on two legs approximately 2.5 metres above the ground. The sign is proposed to be located immediately behind the existing entry statement wall, inside the drainage reserve on the corner of Wanneroo Road and Kirkstall Road, Hocking. The applicant has requested that the sign be approved for a period of 18 months or within 14 days of the settlement of the last lot within the estate whichever is the latest. Attachment 1 indicates the location and design of the sign.

Both the City’s District Planning Scheme No2 and Signs Local Law provide that signs erected with the approval of the local government on land under the care, control and management of the local government, are exempt from the requirement to obtain planning approval or a sign licence. As the subject drainage reserve is vested in the City of Wanneroo, formal planning approval or a sign licence is not required in this case. The applicant is however still required to obtain the approval of the City before erecting the sign.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

The City normally requires estate signs to be less than 20m² in area, located within the estate that it is advertising and be removed at the completion of land sales. The proposal complies with these requirements. Plans indicating the detailed location of the sign within the drainage reserve will be required. This should be as close to the entry statement wall as possible, to minimise any impact on the operation and maintenance of the drainage reserve.

The MacQuarie Heights developer originally owned the land now occupied by the drainage reserve. The land was created as a drainage reserve as a part of the subdivision process and was later vested in the City of Wanneroo. The City does not have the power to lease the reserve and therefore cannot charge the applicant for the use of the land.

The proposal has been discussed with the City’s Technical Operations who advise that the sign would not effect the operation or maintenance of the drainage reserve and therefore have no objection to the proposal.

As the reserve has been specifically set aside for the purposes of drainage, the approval of the Department of Land Administration will be required prior to the erection of the sign. The approval of Main Roads WA will also be required as the sign faces Wanneroo Road, and given the size of the sign, the applicant will also be required to obtain a building licence prior to erection of the sign. The building licence application will ensure that the sign is structurally sound.

Statutory Compliance

Whilst no formal planning approval or sign licence is required in this case, District Planning Scheme No2 and the City’s Signs Local Law do require the applicant to obtain approval from the City before the sign is erected.

Separate approvals by the Department of Land Administration and Main Roads WA, as well as a building licence will also be required in this case.

Recommendation

That Council APPROVES the estate sign proposed by Australand Pty Ltd to be located within Reserve 45970 (2) Kirkstall Drive, Hocking subject to:

1. The sign being located as close as possible to the entry statement wall, in a manner that will minimise any impact on the operation and maintenance of the drainage reserve. Detailed plans indicating the location of the sign within the reserve shall be submitted for approval by Council Administration prior to the erection of the sign.

2. The sign shall be removed and the land reinstated to the satisfaction of Council Administration at the applicant’s cost within 18 months or within 14 days of the developer selling the last lot within the MacQuarie Heights Estate and the developer advising Council immediately after this has occurred.

3. The approval of the Department of Land Administration and Main Roads Western Australia being granted prior to the commencement of any works.

4. A Building Licence being submitted to and approved by the Council Administration prior to the commencement of any works.

Issue

Appointment of an Elected Member to the Water and Rivers Commission’s (WRC) Gnangara/East Gnangara Community Consultative Committee (GEGCCC).

Background

The Minister for the Environment has requested a review of the conditions permitting groundwater abstraction from the Gnangara and Jandakot Mounds (under Section 46 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986). The review has been requested resulting from concerns over continued breaches of the statutory minimum groundwater levels.

Detail

The WRC is the statutory body responsible for management of groundwater quality and quantity, subject to review by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). A two-stage review process was proposed by the WRC given the lateness of the season and the possibility of modifications to the existing management regime and the length of time it will take to review the conditions fully. The EPA endorsed the WRC’s preferred two-stage approach to the review on 13 September 2001.

Stage I is an initial investigation into the critical areas where breaches of environmental conditions have occurred, with a proposal for a short term management strategy for the summers of 2001/2 and 2002/3. Stage II involves a more detailed investigation and review of environmental criteria, climate variability, long-term groundwater level behaviour, management of public and private groundwater abstraction and pine management plus offsetting factors such as urbanisation and Gnangara Park options.

The WRC has recently held a workshop with representative from various organisations, including the City of Wanneroo, to discuss the proposed management objectives for this and next summer. It was the intention of the WRC to provide the EPA with a copy of the Stage I report within a few weeks of the workshop ( a copy of this report has been placed in the elected members reading room for information). The WRC has advised that a more extensive and detailed public consultation will be held as part of the stage 2 process, though they are uncertain as to the exact method at this moment.

Comment

The GEGCCC is comprised of community groups, State Govt. agencies and Local Govt., with the City having been represented at the first meeting of this Committee (2July, 2001) by City Administration. The WRC intends to hold a second meeting in February 2002. The aim of the GEGCC is to provide input into the Section 46 review by advising of community concerns and issues and assisting with the development of appropriate management strategies and regimes.

The City has previously expressed concern over groundwater management issues, including water quality and quantity management. Given this concern, the City hosted a public forum on 25 July with the major stakeholders being represented (EPA, WRC, Ministry for Planning, Water Corporation, Agriculture WA and Forest Products Commission). A meeting was also recently held between local Members of Parliament, Elected Members and City Administration to further express the City’s concern over groundwater management in Wanneroo.

While the City is represented on the Committee by Administration , in view of the potential implications for groundwater abstraction and the expressed concerns of Council on this matter, it is considered appropriate that Council also be represented by an Elected Member. The WRC has advised that it would have no objections to an Elected Member joining the committee.

It should be noted that at the Briefing Session of Council held on 11 December 2001, Cr Cvitan indicated an interest to represent the Council on the Consultative Committee. Accordingly he has been included in the recommendation as the nominated Councillor.

Issue

Consideration of the future control and management of three Crown Reserves in Wanneroo Road, Carabooda and proposed disposal of a portion of one reserve to an adjoining private landowner.

Applicant	AFV & PA Sartori
Owner	Crown
Location	Reserve 31238
DPS 2 Zoning	Parks and Recreation
MRS Zoning	Parks and Recreation

Background

Reserves 31237, 31238 and 22031 containing in aggregate approximately 68 hectares adjoin two parcels of vacant crown land on the western side of Wanneroo Road, Carabooda between Karoborup Road and Bernard Road South. All of the reserves are set aside for the purpose of quarrying and are under the care, control and management of the City through vesting orders. The vesting order for Reserve 31238 includes the Commissioner for Main Roads as a joint controlling authority with the City.

The three reserves and two vacant crown land holdings fall within Bush Forever Site 130 as shown on Attachment 1.

Lot 2 Wanneroo Road, containing 4.48 hectares adjoins the northern boundary of Reserve 31238. It is owned by A.F, V and P. A. Sartori who operate a hydroponics industry on it. They wish to expand their business to meet future export demand and believe their own land holding is too small for the purpose. They have therefore applied to either purchase or secure a long-term lease of about 5 hectares of the reserve to enable them to build greenhouses and associated infrastructure.

Council will note that this application was listed on the agenda for the Council meeting of 6 November 2001, however was referred back to Administration for further consideration. A further report was, again, listed in Council’s agenda for its meeting on 27 November 2001, however it was, again, referred back to Administration for further investigation with the Minister for Lands.

Further information has now been received from the Minister’s Office, DOLA and Bush Forever office of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) and this matter is now presented back to Council for its consideration.

Detail

The current vesting orders by which the City holds the reserves do not include the power to lease any part of them. Therefore, the City would need to pursue that authority upon application to the Minister for Lands. The City’s Manager Infrastructure Services advises that the City does not require the reserves for quarry purposes but recommends they be retained for Parks and Recreation as shown in the current Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS). Main Roads WA has advised that it does not require Reserve 31238 for quarry purposes and consents to its disposal.

Mr. and Mrs. Sartori submit that their proposal to utilise part of Reserve 31238 for their business expansion will yield benefits by way of earning export income, providing increased employment opportunities and reducing water consumption through the hydroponic process.

Comment

Environmental Attributes of the Site

In correspondence to Mr. and Mrs. Sartori the City administration have advised that support for development of the site is unlikely. The bushland on the site has been identified in a State Government planning policy document – Bush Forever - as being of regional significance worthy of addition to the State’s conservation network. Bush Forever aims to protect a minimum of 10% of each vegetation complex originally occurring in the Perth Metropolitan Region area of the Swan Coastal Plain. The vegetation complex on the site is the Cottesloe – Central and South, which has 36% of its original extent remaining, and a protection target of 18%.

Whilst this is above Bush Forever’s minimum target, it is worth noting the Environmental Protection Authority’s Position Statement No. 2 on the clearing of native vegetation. This states that exponential loss of species can be expected if less than 30% of a habitat type remains and that it can be considered as endangered if less than 10% remains. Owing to the high level of clearing of bushland all remnant native vegetation should be considered as being of importance. The site forms part of a semi-continuous north-south link from Lake Goollelal, through Yellagonga Regional Park and Neerabup National Park to Yanchep National Park.

The applicant has not undertaken an environmental assessment of the site including flora and fauna assessments. Whilst it is not possible to predetermine what such a survey would find, it is certain that part of the ecological value of the site is in its north-south link, as noted in Bush Forever. Clearing would affect the integrity of this link. The applicant intends to clear the land for commercial gain from agriculture, whereas the proposed conservation use of the area is a long-term benefit to the community. Support for the applicants’ request could set an undesirable precedent for the use of other lands managed by the City for public benefit for the use of an individual or group

Extractive Industries

The Department for Planning and Infrastructure’s (DPI) State Planning Policy 10 – ‘Basic Raw Materials’ Policy identifies areas that are considered to be suitable for extractive industries (quarries). Reserve 31238 is generally considered to be unsuitable in the policy, and is not required for a quarry by either the City of Wanneroo or Main Roads Department. The site is therefore available for consideration for other uses, with an identified land use being conservation.

Advice from the Minister for Planning and Government Agencies

Pursuant to the Council’s request, the City approached the Minister for Lands about this matter. The City subsequently received verbal advice that it should go through the normal assessment processes of the DPI, EPA, DOLA and Council rather than dealing direct with the Minister’s Office. It should be noted that it was not possible to receive written notification from the Minister’s Office in time for this report.

In view of this advice and the fact that the proposal would require support from the DPI to proceed, they were contacted and specifically asked if there were any circumstances under which a reduction to Bush Forever site 130 would be considered. The DPI subsequently advised (refer Attachment 2) that it believes development options within Bush Forever site 130 are limited and that it would be “very unlikely” to support development in this instance. The DPI has advised that it is probable that the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) would request a formal assessment of the site under the Environmental Protection Act with a very strong probability that it would be considered unacceptable.

The EPA has advised (refer Attachment 3) that they would expect that the proposal would be assessed in accordance with the document “Guidance for the Assessment of Environmental Factors No. 10 – Level of Assessment for proposals Affecting Bushland Areas Within the System 6 and Swan Coastal Plain Region”. The EPA expects that where a proposal affects a Bush Forever site that the DPI would determine if the proposal is acceptable, warrants refusal (if in their capacity to do so) or requires referral to the EPA for formal assessment. The EPA has noted that “this proposal is likely to be of such significance as to warrant referral to the EPA”.

The EPA have also advised that it is their expectation that the City will refrain from making any decision which would allow the proposal to be implemented before the Bush Forever Office of the DPI has the opportunity to consider the proposal. The City would be obliged to formally refer the proposal to the EPA if it was to consider supporting the application.

The Department of Land Administration (DOLA) has advised verbally that it would not agree to the lease of any part of the Reserve if the proposed use is opposed by either the Department of Conservation and Land Management or the Bush Forever office of the DPI. DOLA would only consent to a lease if all the Government agencies were in agreement. CALM has advised verbally that they would consider accepting the site as part of the conservation estate if a written proposal was made to them.

Statutory Compliance

Any change to the purpose, tenure or area of a Crown Reserve requires approval of the Minister for Lands under the Land Administration Act 1997.

Strategic Implications

The transfer of management responsibility of the subject reserves to the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) is supported as they form part of the Neerabup National Park which is of a regional significance.

This approach is consistent with recent decisions the Council has made in regard to the future management of Perry’s Paddock and Lake Joondalup (Yellagonga Regional Park).

Policy Implications

The City’s Policy on Environmental Sustainability has 3 objectives; being:

· To protect and enhance the natural and human environments for the benefit of present and future generations;

· To minimise as far as practicable, any adverse environmental impacts associated with its activities,

· To take advantage of environmentally beneficial opportunities.

The request by Mr and Mrs Sartori to clear the land and develop for agriculture is inconsistent with this policy.

Financial Implications

If disposal by sale or lease is agreed, the income derived by the City will have to be applied to a reserve consolidation fund for further reserve acquisition or capital improvements on existing reserves within the City’s district. In the case of a lease that is commercial in nature, annual financial reporting to the Department of Land Administration will be involved.

Recommendation

That Council:-

1. ACKNOWLEDGES that Reserves 31238, 31237 and 22031 have been identified for conservation by the State Government in Bush Forever.

2. ADVISES Mr. and Mrs. Sartori that it does not support use of Reserve 31238 (or a portion thereof) for agricultural purposes given its identified conservation values.

3. ADVISES the Department of Conservation and Land Management, the Commissioner for Main Roads and Department for Planning and Infrastructure that it supports Reserves 31238, 31237 and 22031 being transferred to the Department of Conservation and Land Management with a vested purpose of Conservation.

Bushplan site 130

Thank you for your email dated 6 December 2001 regarding the above Bushplan site. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has prepared Guidance for the Assessment of Environmental Factors No.10 “Level of assessment for proposals affecting bushland areas within the System 6 and the southern Swan Coastal Plain Region” (copy enclosed). Additional copies can be obtained from the Department’s website at environ.wa.gov.au

It is the EPA’s expectation that proposals affecting Bushforever sites are referred by the proponent or the Decision Making Authority to the Bushforever Office at the Department of Planning and Infrastructure (formerly Ministry for Planning) in the first instance. The Bushforever Office will then advise if the proposal can be negotiated to be environmentally acceptable, refused if it is in their capacity to do so through planning approvals processes or alternatively will be referred by the Bushforever Office to the EPA to determine if the proposal warrants a formal level of assessment, in which case it may be found environmentally unacceptable.

In all cases concerning Bushforever sites it is also the EPA’s expectation that Decision Making Authorities such as the City of Wanneroo will refrain from making any decision that would allow the proposal to be implemented before the Bushforever Office has had an opportunity to consider the proposal and make a determination or refer it to the EPA.

Accordingly, with regard to your inquiry, Council is requested not to make any decision that would allow the proposal to be implemented and to require the proponent to contact the Bushforever Office. You are also advised that this proposal is likely to be of such significance as to warrant referral to the EPA and if Council is of a mind to approve the proposal, then you should contact the EPA Service Unit to discuss how the proposal should be referred to the Authority. Please note that this advice does not constrain Council from refusing the proposal.

If you have any further inquiries please contact Mark Jefferies at the EPA Service Unit on 9222 7036.

Issue

Review and update the local law relating to private property.

Background

The City’s Private Property Local Law is intended to provide direction and enforcement powers for an array of matters associated with the use of private land.

Some of these matters complement and paralleled other legislation, eg District Planning Scheme No 2 and Dividing Fences Act.

The use of the existing local law over the past two and a half years has identified many difficulties with respect to common sense outcomes and enforcement.

Due to the number of changes, both minor and major, to the existing local law, it is proposed to replace it with a new local law.

Detail

Issue

To address the concerns by residents about the increase and type of traffic on local roads within Mindarie.

Background

Over the past two years numerous requests have been received from Mindarie residents, Mindarie Community Group Inc. and CRAM (Concerned Residents About Mindarie) regarding traffic concerns in Mindarie, particularly in streets such as Bellport Parade, Rothesay Heights and Rochester Drive. It is considered by the residents and the various groups who have concerns in this regard that the non construction of Anchorage Drive between Seaham Way and Rosslare Promenade has had a major impact on traffic flows through Mindarie.

The construction of the portion of Anchorage Drive between Seaham Way and Rosslare Promenade was the subject of a detailed traffic study by Sinclair Knight Merz Consulting Engineers on behalf of the developers of Mindarie.The traffic study indicated that the ultimate traffic volumes anticipated for the street network in the current Mindarie Keys Local Structure Plan (MKLSP) were such that the construction of the subject section of Anchorage Drive link was not warranted. This was determined as the ultimate traffic volumes anticipated on the local distributor roads within the MKLSP such as Rochester Heights, Rothesay Drive and Bellport Parade were below the capacity of 6000 vehicles per day which these roads were designed to carry. It was on this basis that the developer argued that the section of Anchorage Drive was not required.

The subdivisional application was subsequently determined by Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) in consultation with the City of Wanneroo (WAPC 108380 Subdivisional Application Part Lots 962 and 963 Anchorage Drive, Mindarie) on 2 December 1998. City Administration was not convinced with the proposal to totally delete the section of Anchorage Drive as proposed by the proponent, recommending to WAPC to retain, at minimum, the Anchorage Drive road reserve to maintain some future flexibility should traffic volumes and safety concerns determine the need for its construction. The road reserve for the unconstructed portion of Anchorage Drive was therefore retained within the MKLSP and was required to be created as a condition of the above subdivisional approval for the adjoining Lot 963.

Under the agreement not to construct this section of Anchorage Drive it was required under a condition of the subdivision that the developer landscape the road reserve whilst preserving the option to construct the road and associated drainage and lighting, sometime in the future.

With respect to the issue of responsibility of construction of the subject portion of Anchorage Drive, it is no longer possible for the City to require the Fini Group to fund the construction of the road.

Detail

Development in Mindarie is nearing completion and traffic patterns are being established to suit the road layout that is now in existence. As a result, some of the residential streets in Mindarie, for example Bellport Parade, are experiencing increased traffic volumes. It is on this basis that residents who purchased their lots in Bellport Parade are of the opinion that much of the traffic travelling on Bellport Parade and other residential streets in the immediate vicinity is a direct result of the middle section of Anchorage Drive not being constructed.

Bellport Parade is a typical residential street and constructed to City standards. It is 7.4m wide and is adequate for a bus route and/or parking on the road without contravening the Traffic Code 2000. The Code indicates that a minimum width of 3 metres must be allowed for through traffic. Investigations into traffic volumes, speed and crashes on Bellport Parade were undertaken by City Administration in February 2001 following several complaints from residents. There was one recorded crash for the period from 1 January 1996 to 4 May 2001, with this crash occurring at the intersection of Bellport Parade and Mulgrave Loop when a single vehicle hit a refuge island and lost control. There were no injuries. Traffic volumes have been recorded at between 2443 vehicles per day near Anchorage Drive, and 800 vehicles per day near Kin Bay Entrance.

Comment

In assessment of local streets, particularly those in urban areas, the City is dealing with people’s living space. However, there is not a clear distinction between the transport related needs that the living space fills, and other associated needs, ie., aesthetic, amenity, etc. People take an holistic view of their local environment and are more likely to find it acceptable if it ‘feels’ safe and secure. The safety issue becomes part of a wider amenity issue. This distinction between safety and security is important as people wish to feel safe in their area and it is this issue that City Administration believes is the basis on which the residents of Bellport Parade are presenting their request to the City with regard to traffic management strategies to divert traffic away from Bellport Parade.

In order to establish the need for traffic management devices in Mindarie or the construction of Anchorage Drive, a comprehensive Traffic Management Study would need to be undertaken. This would also entail an Origin and Destination survey that would confirm residents claims that Bellport Parade is being used as the main route through Mindarie for access to the three schools, the shops on Anchorage Drive north, and access to the boat harbour on the weekends. A detailed public consultation approach, similar to other traffic management studies undertaken in areas within the City, should be undertaken before consideration is made with regards to construction, or otherwise, of the remaining section of Anchorage Drive and the installation of traffic treatments in Mindarie.

Issue

Approval of subdivisional development retaining walls over 3m in height at Lot 5, Kingsway, Madeley (WAPC 114026).

Background

A request by Sinclair Knight Merz, consulting engineers, was forwarded to City Administration to consider approval for retaining walls in excess of 3m in height in early October 2001. Refer to Attachment 1 for the locality plan. City Administration became aware of the fact that the walls in question were already partially constructed, ie, up to 3m in height. This work was undertaken without a Building License. City Administration subsequently withdrew the proposed report to be presented for Council consideration at its meeting on 16 October 2001. A Section 401 Notice was issued under the Local Government Act 1995 to remove the illegal retaining walls. Sinclair Knight Merz, on behalf of the land developer, then appealed to the Minister for Housing and Works. The appeal has been upheld – refer Attachment 2 for a copy of the Ministers approval.

Detail

As a consequence of the Minister’s decision, Sinclair Knight Mertz on behalf of the landowners/developers, Seabeam Enterprises Pty Ltd have now resubmitted their proposal for retaining walls exceeding 3m in height in the development known as “The Grove” for Lot 5 Kingsway, Madeley. Refer to Attachment 3 for the extent of the subdivision. It is noted that the walls are on the rear boundaries of Lots 199 to 205 The Oval.

Council’s policy (Policy No. DS6) allows walls up to 3m in height to be approved for construction by the City’s Engineer (in this case the Director of Technical Services). Consequently, where retaining walls exceed 3m in height Council’s approval is required.

Sinclair Knight Mertz have been carrying out the design, construction and supervision of subdivisional development for this area. Justification for approval of the retaining walls is summarised as follows:

“Lilac Hill Vista bounds the site to the west and The Oval to the south. The existing contour of the land and level between these two roads determine control for adjacent development. In order to provide a suitable building platform for normal residential development the lots must be filled and retained to heights ranging between 2.9m to 4.2m. This is also the most feasible alternative from an engineering design/construction perspective. The retaining walls for this subdivision will be located fully within each of the retained lot boundaries. Primarily, maintenance of lot shape, facilitation of level building platforms and the need to overcome significant site contour constraints while maintaining existing levels at abutting roads (condition of subdivision) has resulted in the final design height of the retaining walls.”

Approval to construct retaining walls exceeding 3m in height is now requested for Lot 5 in the Kingsway, Madeley.

Comment

There was no opportunity for this report to be presented to the Council Briefing Session on 11 December as the determination by the Minister was only made on 10 December and the submission by Sinclair Knight Merz was received at this office on 13 December. Advice has been received from the proponents that there are 37 Offer and Acceptances within Stage 2A and 2B precincts of this development. Many of these purchasers are eligible for the First Home Owners Grant and the titles need to be created and the survey plans lodged with the Titles Office prior to 31 December when the $14,000 grant is to be reduced. It is on the basis of this potential loss of grant for future residents of the City that this report is presented to Council without consideration at a briefing session.

The landform and subdivision design suggests that the proposed retaining walls over 3m in height and up to a maximum of 4.2m is warranted in order to provide a suitable building platform. The long-section and cross-section through Lot 5, as shown on Attachments 4 and 5 respectively, demonstrates how the retaining walls are constructed to provide level lots between the existing road levels at Lilac Hill Vista (RL 52:16m) and The Oval (RL 58:20m). This equates to a height difference of 6m between the two roads, and following earthworks design, the height of the retaining walls has been reduced to 4.2m.

It is considered that these retaining walls do not have an adverse impact on the amenity of the surrounding area. A precedent exists for approving retaining walls of similar height where topographical constraints have existed. The proposed height of the retaining walls will not create overshadowing of adjoining lots.

Staff of Planning and Building Approvals raised no major concerns other than the requirement that a Building Licence is necessary for all retaining walls before construction can commence.

It is therefore recommended that the proposed retaining walls ranging up to 4.2m in height be approved.

Issue

Consideration of recommendations arising out of a report prepared by PPK Environment and Infrastructure (PPK) for the City on “The Investigation of the Upgrade of Burt Street Sump, Quinns Rocks (November 2001)”.

Background

In May 2001 JDA Consultant Hydrologists prepared the Quinns Rocks Drainage Catchment Study for the City of Wanneroo. This study showed that the existing drainage system and sump in the Burt Street Drainage Catchment does not meet the City of Wanneroo’s design criteria. Based on the analysis undertaken in the Quinns Rocks Drainage Catchment Study, the Ilbery Street Precinct (Burt Street Drainage Catchment) was identified as having the highest priority for upgrading.

The findings in the Quinns Rocks Drainage Catchment Study were confirmed when during the storm event on the 29 July 2001, the sump at Burt Street overtopped and flooded adjacent private property. From monitoring work being undertaken by PPK at Lake Joondalup, the storm event on the 29 July 2001 correlates with an Annual Recurrence Interval (ARI) in excess of 100 years.

The Burt Street Drainage Sump (BSDS) is situated in a topographic low between residential housing at 13 and 17 Burt Street (refer to Attachment 1 for the location plan). The sump occupies the majority of the lot with some limited ability to increase storage in a southwest direction at the rear of the lot. Two residential lots to the northwest of the sump are also situated in the topographic low and susceptible to flooding should the sump overtop. Following the July storm, Administration sought submissions from Consultants to investigate various options for the upgrade of this sump in order to prevent this flooding from reoccurring. Submissions were received from:

1. Airey Ryan and Hill

2. PPK

3. Jim Davies and Associates

4. Halpern Glick Minsell

The submissions were assessed and on 31 August 2001 the City engaged PPK for a fixed lump sum of $7,840.00 exclusive of GST to undertake the consultancy work.

Detail

The report prepared by PPK details the investigation undertaken and presents various options for the upgrading of the BSDS to comply with Council’s Drainage Criteria. A copy of the report is available for perusal in the Councillors Reading Room with a copy of the Executive Summary from the report presented in Attachment 2. A summary of the work undertaken follows:

Geotechnical Investigation

A geotechnical investigation was undertaken on 4 October 2001 to determine the sub-surface stratigraphic profile and infiltration rates of the BSDS.

The site works included:

§ Preliminary mapping of the sump and surrounding properties;

§ Investigation and mapping of the sump wall and floor materials using a hand auger;

§ Drilling of soil investigation bores at the northeast corner of the sump and on the northwestern neighbouring property at 17 Burt Street, and

§ Installation of a piezometer to conduct falling-head permeability tests to determine soil infiltration rates.

Results of this investigation provide the following information:

§ The sump has been excavated into an impermeable limestone cap rock, or calcrete;

§ The sump is centred in a topographic low, surrounded by topographic highs formed by the Tamala Limestone Unit;

§ The upper section of the walls of the sump is composed of a medium to fine grained sand, residual from leaching of the Tamala Limestone Unit;

§ The permeability of the sand, representative of the permeability of the upper walls of the sump, is in the order of 3x10^-5 ms^-1 or 2.6 m/day (typical silty sand), as determined by falling head permeability tests;

§ The calcrete perches any water that comes in contact with it. Any water infiltrating through the surficial sediments in the catchment will perch on the calcrete and flow laterally to the topographic low, which happens to be the BSDS. Thus there is inflow to the sump, not only through the stormwater drainage system, but also through the sump walls;

§ At present the sump acts largely as an evaporation basin rather than an infiltration basin as there is virtually no permeability of stormwater through the base of the sump. Therefore, there will be no additional infiltration at the existing location if the sump were to be enlarged.

Due to the topography of the catchment no overland flow path for flood relief during extreme storm events exists or is possible. Furthermore, suggestions have also been made to increase the size of the sump, however, this will not provide for the infiltration of stormwater from the sump.

The required volume for the BSDS to meet the 10-year volume requirement is 1540m³ and for the 100-year requirement, 3280m³. The current volume for the BSDS is 790m³, which is grossly undersized and does not comply with the City’s design criteria for both the 10-year and 100-year ARI storm events. The volume of 790m³ is based on no freeboard, which also fails to comply with the City‘s requirements. The figures quoted were referenced from Figure 18 in the Quinns Rocks Drainage Catchment Study prepared by JDA Consultant Hydrologists.

Land Acquisition - Upgrade Options

The options examined were:

1. Increase the volume of the existing sump, within its lot boundaries.

2. Increase the volume of the existing sump by acquisition of 17 Burt Street.

3. Increase the volume of the existing sump by acquisition of 17 and 19 Burt Street.

The outcome of this investigation is tabled in Table 1 below.

Table 1 Options for Increasing Burt Street Drainage Sump Volume by Land Acquisition

OPTION	VOLUME (m³)		ESTIMATED COST
	Existing	Enlarged	($ exclusive of GST)
1	220	270	$11,000
2	220	965	$199,500
3	220	3550	$382,500

The estimated costs for each option were calculated on the following basis:

Option 1: The cost of excavation of the sump within its current boundaries at the rear and sides.

Option 2: Enlargement of the sump through the acquisition of 17 Burt Street and associated excavation costs.

Option 3: Enlargement of the sump through the acquisition of 17 and 19 Burt Street and associated excavation costs.

From Table 1 it is clear that only Option 3 meets the City’s 100-year volume requirement for the sump.

Land acquisition costs were based on the median house price of $144,300 in Quinns Rocks as published by the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia, June 2001.

These three options were then re-examined with the inclusion of an impermeable wall constructed on the adjacent lot boundary of the existing and enlarged sump site. The outcome of this investigation is shown in Table 2 below.

Table 2 Options for Increasing Burt Street Drainage Sump Volume by Land Acquitsition and Construction of an Impermeable Wall

OPTION	VOLUME (m³)		ESTIMATED COST
	Existing	Enlarged	($ exclusive of GST)
4	220	1210	$45,000
5	220	2560	$227,000
6	220	4250	$410,000

The estimated costs have been based on the following:

Option 4: The cost of excavation of the sump within its current boundaries at the rear and sides and construction of an impermeable wall.

Option 5: Enlargement of the sump through the acquisition of 17 Burt Street, associated excavation costs and construction of an impermeable wall.

Option 6: Enlargement of the sump through the acquisition of 17 and 19 Burt Street, associated excavation costs and construction of an impermeable wall.

Though the volume for each option has been greatly increased by the addition of the impermeable wall, Option 3 still remains the only option that meets the City’s 100-year volume requirement for the sump.

Pump Options

Land acquisition is expensive, will result in relocation of existing residents, reduces Council rate income and provides no mechanism for the rapid removal of excess stormwater from the topographic low. To obviate the need for land acquisition, pumping of excess stormwater was also examined.

Pump options were initially investigated on the basis of enlarging the BSDS within its current lot boundaries, however, in compliance with the City’s criteria this only allows for a water depth in the sump of between 0.7m and 1.1m. This approach was considered to be poor utilisation of the existing sump site and would result in undesirable pump stop/start frequencies. Pumping options were therefore examined in conjunction with an impermeable wall constructed along the northwest boundary and analysis of the drainage network was undertaken for 100 year ARI 24 hour duration storm events. The BSDS model was then modified to include a pump station at the sump. Excess stormwater from the BSDS is then transferred to the larger sump in Quinns Road at a pump rate of 50 litres/second while maintaining water level in the BSDS at below the maximum fill level and with controlled start/stop during a storm event.

The design detail associated with the proposed BSDS Pump station is tabled in Table 3 below.

Table 3 Burt Street Drainage Sump Pump Options (100 Year 24 Hour ARI)

PUMP FLOW RATE	PUMP START LEVEL	PUMP STOP LEVEL	MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WATER LEVEL	PEAK WATER LEVEL
(l/s)	(m AHD)	(m AHD)	(m AHD)	(m AHD)
30	4.00	3.20	4.90	5.54
40	4.00	3.20	4.90	5.10
50	4.00	3.20	4.90	4.82
75	4.00	3.20	4.90	4.59
100	4.00	3.20	4.90	4.44

A concept design was prepared with the order of cost estimates for the construction of the pump station and associated ancillary works at the BSDS detailed in Table 4 below.

Table 4 Burt Street Drainage Sump Pump station Cost Estimate

Item	Description	$ exclusive of GST
1.	Packaged Pump Station	$43,000
2.	Site Costs	$21,000
3.	Pump Station Installation	$10,000
4.	PVC Rising Main	$15,000
5.	Drainage	$10,500
6.	Impermeable Wall	$30,000
	Sub Total	$129,500
	Contingency	$10,000
	Total Burt Street Drainage Sump Pumpstation Cost Estimate (exclusive of GST)	$139,500

The BSDS Pump station Cost Estimate of $139,500 is based on concept design only, does not allow for City administrative and project management costs and will need to be firmed up upon final design.

Consultants Recommendations

Currently the BSDS acts largely as an evaporation basin rather than an infiltration basin with a negligible amount of stormwater being discharged through the base of the sump due to poor ground permeability. Given this situation it is therefore assumed that no additional infiltration would be achieved if the sump where to be enlarged.

It was therefore recommended by PPK that the City construct a pump station at the BSDS, with discharge to the Quinns Road Drainage Sump (QRDS). This would necessitate increasing the existing sump volume at Burt Street by utilising a greater proportion of the available land at its existing location in conjunction with the construction of a impermeable wall along the lot boundary of the sump and 17 Burt Street.

A concept design of the recommended upgrade option for the BSDS is provide in Attachment 3.

In addition to adopting a pumping strategy at the BSDS, it was also recommended by PPK that the QRDS will need to be enlarged to cater for the ultimate stormwater capacity that this sump caters for. This will involve detailed analysis of the contributing catchments, geotechnical characteristics and the existing capacity of this sump, with the proposed works linking in with proposed land development/conservation strategy for the land on which the sump is sited, ie; Lot 211, Mindarie.

Council, at its meeting on 22 May 2001, adopted a Structure Plan for Lot 211, Mindarie (Report No. W171-05/01 refers). A component of this Structure Plan which received strong support through the public consultation process was the improvement of the QRDS to a more natural swaled drainage system, revegetated with species consistent with the surrounding bushland currently in existence. The Western Australian Planning Commission has now adopted the Structure Plan for Lot 211 as the guideline for the consideration of future development applications on this lot. In accordance with this approval, any proposal for the enlargement of the QRDS would need to be prepared on the basis of a natural swaled system.

Comment

On review of the report it is advised that the recommendations presented by PPK are endorsed by City Administration as the most practical and cost effective solution in mitigation of the flooding problem at the BSDS. As a consequence it is suggested that:

1. The report prepared by PPK titled “The Investigation of the Upgrade of Burt Street Sump, Quinns Rocks (November 2001)” be accepted by Council.

2. City Administration to proceed with the preparation of a project brief seeking submissions for the design and documentation, inclusive of a cost estimate, for the provision of a pumped solution to the current BSDS capacity limitation and associated upgrade of the QRDS.

3. Upon City Administration’s approval of the Burt Street and Quinns Road Drainage Sumps design and documentation submission a report will be prepared seeking Council approval for a budget reallocation. Funds are to be sought from an existing Capital Works item titled “Quinns Rocks Catchment Upgrade (Project 2172)”, which has funding totaling $30,000 allocated to it. This reallocation will also need to include the cost of PPK investigation work undertaken for the BSDS ($7,840.00 exclusive of GST).

4. On completion of the design and documentation for the Burt Street and QRDSs, prepare a report to Council advising of the proposed solution and associated construction cost estimates. These estimates will then need to be listed for consideration by Council in the Draft 2002/2003 Capital Works Budget

Issue

Budget variation to utilise funds held in bond for completion of a dual use footpath and intersection modifications to facilitate safe pedestrian and cyclist movements on Lithgow Drive, Clarkson.

Background

The original owners of the Clarkson Stage 13 development, Landcorp, transferred their interests to Landrow on 22 June 1999. Landrow has subsequently indicated their reluctance to complete outstanding works on behalf Landcorp. City Administration has been in contact with both Landrow and their consulting engineer, Wood Grieve Pty Ltd, to advise that Landcorp’s bond of $11,990.00, currently held by the City, will be utilised to construct the dual use path in Lithgow Drive and modify the intersection as per the original conditions of subdivision and bond application. This issue has previously been addressed by Council at its meeting on 12 June 2001 (Report W211-06/01 refers) A location plan indicating the extent of the proposed works is attached (Refer Attachment 1).

Detail

City Administration proposes to utilise the bond to undertake the construction of the dual use path and associated intersection modifications to facilitate safe movements for pedestrians and cyclists. The City accepted a bond from Landcorp to the value of $11,990.00 in 1995 as security against incomplete works associated with the subdivision. This bond is required to finance the works. This amount is sufficient to undertake the construction of the dual use path, verge reinstatement and the works associated with the improvements to the intersection treatments.

Comment

The construction of the dual use path is supported for the safe passage of pedestrians and cyclists in Lithgow Drive. It was previously reported to Council on 12 June 2001 that Landcorp would construct the dual use path as part of Clarkson Stage 22A subdivisional development works. This is no longer the case and the use of bond is strongly recommended to enable completion this long awaited dual use path.

Issue

Budget variation to accommodate the costs for the addition of a tea preparation amenity and toilet for the lease area in the New Civic Centre building

Background

Council at its meeting on the 16 October 2001 considered a report dealing with the use of the designated first floor lease area and the addition of a tea preparation amenity and toilet to be incorporated into this area to enable it to operate independently of the remainder of the Building (Report PD02-10/01 refers).

Council subsequently resolved to fund the new toilet and tea preparation amenities to the lease area and a sum of $30,000 was allocated for this purpose (Project Number 2076).

Detail

Quotation documentation was prepared for the works as the value of the work was estimated to be less than $50,000. The documents were issued on the 16 November 2001 to four contractors known to be capable of undertaking this type of construction work.

The following quotations were received on the 29 November 2001:

Homestead Constructions Pty Ltd $48,441

Brodun Construction Pty Ltd $55,170

Furntech (WA) Pty. Ltd. $55,644

KBE Building Services Pty Ltd withdrew

Comment

Homestead Constructions Pty Ltd provided the lowest quotation and this firm has successfully completed several projects for the City including similar work to temporarilly house the City of Wanneroo’s administration at the Kingsley Administration Centre and the Ashby Depot during the period the New Civic Centre was being built.

Homestead Constructions Pty Ltd is recommended to undertake the proposed works.

Statutory Compliance

As the lowest tender is less than $50,000 the City is exempt, under the Local Government Act (Functions and General) Regulations, from the need to obtain a contractor to undertake the works by public tender.

Strategic Implications

Nil

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The lowest tender sum of $48,441 is $18,441 above the funding allocated for this project.

Estimating the value of additions is generally a difficult task and in this instance the rates applied to the initial project cost were underestimated against all areas of the proposed works. The value of these rates will be updated in the City’s Administration records before future valuations are estimated. Some other issues affecting the comparison between the estimates and the lowest quotation received are:

· The placement of plumbing and in ground drains with associated cutting of existing concrete floor was overlooked.

· The breakdown of the quotation valued the provision of electrical, mechanical and hydraulic services at 50% of the quotation price.

· The Water Corporation after close of tender reassessed its valuation for the waste water discharge from the New Civic Centre and has reduced its initial headwork fees from $3,900 to $457.The lowest tender sum of $48,441 can therefore be reduced to a value of $44,998. The shortfall in project funding can therefore be reduced from $18,441 to $14,998.

The City is not able to lease the subject premises without undertaking the construction of the proposed amenities. A decision to proceed with the works would mean construction start early in January 2002. It is therefore recommended that the shortfall in funding of $14,998 (say $15,000) be sourced from the New Civic Centre building budget (Project W402) which has sufficient unexpended funding available.

Issue

To report on progress and seek additional funding for the fabrication and installation of a grating at the Joondalup Drive underpass, Carramar.

Background

The City received a request from the Carramar Residents Association during the 2000/2001 financial year to provide a grating over the open section of the Joondalup Drive underpass to prevent children from throwing rocks from above into the opening.

As part of the preparation of the 2001/2002 Draft Capital Works Budget, quotations were sought to undertake this work. It was indicated that $8,000 would be required for the works and this amount was subsequently approved by Council in the 2001/2002 Capital Works Budget.

Detail

Due to the structural nature of this work, the City engaged consultants Terpkos and Santillo to:

· Structurally design the grating and support required for the underpass void inclusive of specification and associated quotation documentation.

· Obtain a minimum of three quotations for the fabrication and installation of this structure.

· Oversee the fabrication and installation of the structure and provide certification of compliance and completion of the project.

The fee for this consultancy was $2,300, plus GST. Three quotations for the approved design were received, the lowest being $20,900 plus GST, which was considerably higher than the budget allocation. It was considered that this price was unacceptable and the consultant was requested to:

· Contact the original companies who provided the indicative quotations and confirm their compliance with all necessary structural aspects of their design and submission. It is noted that the indicative prices originally sought were not based on a structurally approved design.

· Amend their original design so that all structural requirements are complied with.

· Obtain further quotations for the structure from the companies who provided the original quotations.

The reviewed design resulted in the removal of the precast ring beam supporting the grating which accounted for between 40 and 50% of the $20,900 quote. Minor changes to the grating design accounted for the remaining saving

A quotation of $9,400 was received for the revised design solution for the fabrication and installation of a grating at the Joondalup Drive underpass and was recommended by the consultant Terpkos and Santillo as being fair and reasonable.

Comment

In summary, costs for the project are now revised as follows:

Consultant Design and Certification	$2,300
Fabrication and Installation of the grating	$9,400
Total Cost	$11,700

This revised project cost leaves a shortfall of $3,700.

Issue

To advise the Council of the change in rateable status of the property located at Lot 512 (No 8) Salerno Drive Mindarie, Quinns Baptist College.

Background

Quinns Baptist College has requested an exemption from rates for the property at Lot 512 (No 8) Salerno Drive, Mindarie, on the basis that the land is being used exclusively as a private school.

The school wrote to the City of Wanneroo in February 1999 but due to an administrative oversight the request was not processed. Since that time, rates amounting to $14,206.35 have accumulated.

Detail

In accordance with Section 6.26(2)(f) of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act), land which is used exclusively as a private school and is registered under Section 32A(1) of the Education Act 1928 is not rateable.

The Accounts Manager of Quinns Baptist College has recently written to confirm that the land meets the above criteria and that the school commenced in January 1996. Rates for the property have been raised with effect from 26 March 1996.

Accordingly, the property is not rateable, effective from the date of commencement of the college. Rates raised since 26 March 1996 have been reversed and a refund of rates paid by the College will result.

Consultation

Nil.

Comment

Pursuant to Section 6.26(2)(f) of the Act, the land at Lot 512 (No 8) Salerno Drive, Mindarie, Quinns Baptist College, is not rateable and therefore rates raised since the property’s change in rateable status have been raised inadvertently. Consequently, it is not appropriate to seek the Council’s approval to waive the payment of rates under Section 6.47 of the Act. Instead, reversal of the rates raised has been actioned by the Rates Section.

Statutory Compliance

Section 6.26(2)(f) of the Local Government Act 1995, provides that

Issue

To authorise the Mayor and Chief Executive Officer to execute the Group Limit Facility Agreement with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia on behalf of the City of Wanneroo.

Background

In 1999, the City of Wanneroo entered into an Agreement for the Provision of Banking Services with the Commonwealth Bank. This Agreement required the bank to set up the following accounts with overdraft facilities.

Municipal Fund

Advance Account

Trust Fund Account

Reserve Account

Town Planning Scheme No. 5 – Berkley

EWDA Town Planning Scheme – Cell 1

EWDA Town Planning Scheme – Cell 2

EWDA Town Planning Scheme – Cell 3

EWDA Town Planning Scheme – Cell 6

EWDA Town Planning Scheme – Cell 7

EWDA Town Planning Scheme – Cell 8

Town Planning Scheme – No 7A(B) (NB. now closed)

Town Planning Scheme – Berkley

Offset Arrangement

An offset arrangement was set in place over the first three accounts on the list, meaning that the balances of these three accounts are added together for interest purposes. The overdraft facility therefore relates to the three accounts combined and is called a Group Limit Facility.

Detail

A recent investigation showed that in spite of this arrangement, the bank has treated the accounts separately and charged a hefty interest on the Advance Account (which is nearly always overdrawn) while ignoring the modest interest payable on the Municipal and Trust Fund Accounts (which are nearly always in credit). The bank is currently calculating a refund, expected to exceed $75,000.

Reserve & Town Planning Accounts

Whilst interest is charged on overdrawn balances, no interest is paid on credit balances for any of the Reserve or Town Planning accounts. Therefore, offset arrangements similar to those in place for the main fund bank accounts would be beneficial. Accordingly, but only as an interim solution, the bank offered to extend the existing offset arrangement to all bank accounts operated by the City.

The Group Limit Facility (GLF) costs $600pa for each account included. By adding the remaining 11 Reserve and Town Planning Accounts to the existing GLF, the fee charged has increased from $1,800pa to $8,400pa. However, this additional cost is more than countered by the savings achieved in interest charges. In addition, the overdraft facilities are combined, resulting in a $4,950,000 line of credit being made available to the City.

Having already put the facility in place, the bank has requested that the City formalise the arrangements by executing the Group Limit Facility.

Consultation

Nil.

Comment

On 24 July 2001 Council approved the borrowing of funds from State Treasury to replace the various overdraft facilities for East Wanneroo Development Cells 1 to 8. The funds can be borrowed from State Treasury at lower cost and overall savings in interest costs would result.

However, the interim solution outlined above has saved the East Wanneroo Development Cells considerable interest expense over recent months and the administration is currently assessing alternatives to loan funding. It is anticipated that a report recommending an appropriate medium to long term approach will be placed before the Council in March 2002.

Issue

To outline a capital item omitted from the adopted Budget and the proposed remedial action.

Background

Since the adoption of the 2001-2002 Budget, the Director of Technical Services has identified that the Implementation of the Kingsway Sporting Complex Master Plan Project was not included in the list of projects put forward in the schedule of Carry Forward Capital items to be included in the Budget. This was an oversight and the item should have been included at a value of $200,000.

Detail

The former Director, Corporate Services confirmed that based on the way in which the Budget was constructed and the funding statement calculated, this omission of the carried forward does not represent a funding issue. The funding statement was based on the calculated Operating Surplus together with known savings on Capital Projects. Carried Forward Capital was treated as a contra item of funding and the equal and opposite expenditure. Hence, the omission of this item is reflected in the surplus calculated at the completion of the year end process.

Consequently, this report proposes a budget variation to effectively reinstate the project in the City’s Capital Works Programme.

Comment

The omission of the carry forward capital funding for the implementation of the Kingsway Sporting Complex Master Plan from the adopted Budget is a matter that can be readily corrected now that the 2000/2001 Financial Accounts have been completed.

Consultation

Nil.

Statutory Compliance

Section 6.8(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 1995 requires a local government to authorise any expenditure for which provision has not been made in the Budget in advance. In amending the City’s management budgets it is necessary to authorise the expenditure contemplated.

Strategic Implications

Nil.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

This item can be reinstated in the Capital Programme by means of a budget variation, with funding generated by the excess surplus that will result.

Issue

To consider and endorse the proposed timetable for the 2002/2003 Budget preparation and adoption.

Background

In the past two financial years, the Council has adopted its Annual Budgets on 24 August and 10 August respectively. Following the adoption of the 2001/2002 Budget, the Council indicated that it would seek to adopt future Budgets in July, preferably by the conclusion of the second week in July. In stating its desire to achieve an earlier Budget adoption, the Council cited the primary advantages of its goal to include the early issuing of rate notices (with the resultant cash flow and investment revenue advantages) and the more timely commencement of its works programme.

Detail

Development and production of the City’s Principal Activities Plan and Annual Budget is a significant undertaking, requiring the combined efforts of many of the City’s staff and all Elected Members of the Council. Each Business Unit is charged with the responsibility of providing the base data for its Budget. Business Unit Budgets are formatted and consolidated by the Financial Services Unit and subjected to a number of reviews by the Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Council throughout the budget process. The final Budgets are then produced in a management format and reproduced in the statutory format for adoption by the Council.

The attached timetable (Attachment 1) represents a summary of the 2002/2003 budget process and establishes the broad processes required to develop the annual budget. Target dates are indicated for each step of the process so that progress can be monitored to ensure completion by the targeted adoption date of the second week in July 2002. A more detailed timetable (outlining the major tasks) is being prepared for staff and will be circulated early in the new year.

The development of the 2002/2003 Budget timetable has been influenced by the following primary objectives: -

1. the early commencement of the budget process with meaningful projections to enable informed management and Council consideration and prioritisation of works and services;

2. firm links to be established between the Council’s Strategic Plan and the Budget through the Principal Activities Plan;

3. compliance with the Local Government Act 1995 which requires the Council’s Principal Activity Plan to be available to the public for a period of 42 days and differential rates to be advertised for a period of 21 days for public submissions prior to Council adopting its Budget; and

4. adoption of the 2002/2003 Budget as soon as practicable following the close of the financial year (second week in July 2002 targeted) to facilitate the early production of rate notices and the consequent advantages in terms of investment return.

Consultation

Nil.

Comment

The timeframes are particularly tight due to a number of factors impacting on the process. The Council is in the final stages of the development of its Strategic Plan. Once adopted Directorates and Business Units must develop Business Plans aimed at achieving the strategic objectives. In addition, there has been a significant change in senior personnel. Resources will be tested further by the fact that 2002 is the year of the triennial revaluation of GRV properties.

Success in meeting the proposed Budget timetable requires the total commitment of staff and Councillors to achieving the various critical target dates established.

To further streamline the budget process it is proposed that a Budget Committee be established with the responsibility of workshopping the various components of the budget as they are developed. It is intended that the Budget Committee will comprise of the Mayor and all Councillors and will alleviate the implied decisions arising from the less formal workshops held in previous years.

It is not intended that this Committee will make any decisions, but will forward recommendations to Council.

Statutory Compliance

The Local Government Act 1995 and the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 outline the requirements in respect of the preparation and adoption of the Principal Activities Plan and Annual Budget. Importantly, section 6.2(1) requires a Council to adopt its annual budget no later than 31 August.

Section 5.8 of the Local Government Act 1995 provides as follows:-

“5.8 A local government may establish* committees of 3 or more persons to assist the council and to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the local government that can be delegated to committees.

* Absolute majority required.”

Strategic Implications

The 2002/2003 Annual Budget will be closely linked to the Council’s Strategic Plan.

Policy Implications

Nil.

Financial Implications

The adoption of the 2002/2003 Annual Budget in the second week of July 2002 will allow the City to maximise its return on investments.

In order to guide the development of the 2002/2003 Budget it is recommended that the Council give consideration to establishing a set of broad financial parameters. Such parameters could include, but may not be limited to: -

1. Rate Increase

As a general principle, expenditure levels in the 2002/2003 Budget should be maintained at levels to allow any rate increase to be restricted to CPI. Generally operating expenditures should relate in real terms to the lesser of the 2001/2002 budget allocation or the projected actual expenditure for 2001/2002.

2. Loan Borrowings

The 2002/2003 Budget will aim to maintain the City’s minimal debt status by constructing its budget on the basis of nil loan borrowings.

3. Inflation

Although the principles of zero based budgeting are to be applied throughout the budget process, there are certain circumstances where it is appropriate to apply an inflationary factor. In these circumstances any increase should be limited to 3.0%.

Voting Requirements

Absolute Majority

Recommendation

THAT Council:

1. ENDORSES the proposed timetable for the 2002/2003 Annual Budget of the City of Wanneroo;

2. ADOPTS the following financial parameters as broad guidelines for the preparation of the 2002/2003 Annual Budget of the City of Wanneroo: -

a. as a general principle, expenditure levels in the 2002/2003 Budget should be maintained at levels to allow any rate increase to be restricted to CPI. Generally operating expenditures should relate in real terms to the lesser of the 2001/2002 budget allocation or the projected actual expenditure for 2001/2002;

b. the 2002/2003 Budget will aim to maintain the City’s minimal debt status by constructing its budget on the basis of nil loan borrowings; and

c. although the principles of zero based budgeting are to be applied throughout the budget process, there are certain circumstances where it is appropriate to apply an inflationary factor. In these circumstances any increase should be limited to 3.0%; and

3. ESTABLISHES by an ABSOLUTE MAJORITY a Budget Committee comprising of the Mayor and all Councillors of the City of Wanneroo for the purpose of assisting Council in the development of the budget.

Issue

The acceptance of tenders for the Supply and Delivery of PVC Pipes and Fittings for a period of one (1) year.

Background

The City of Wanneroo currently holds stock of a selection of PVC pipe and fittings within the store at Ashby. This stock is issued to authorised members of the Parks & Garden sub unit of Technical Services as required for the installation and maintenance of reticulation systems.

Detail

Tender Number 01222 was advertised on 13 October 2001 and five tender submissions were received. The tenderers were invited to submit a lump sum price for the supply and delivery of PVC Pipes and Fittings for a period of one year. Section 2.1 of the General Conditions of Contract states “The Principal (COW) may consider extending the Contract Period for an additional one year.”

At the closing of tenders five (5) tenders had been submitted from the following suppliers:-

Total Eden

Wanneroo Hardware

Hugall & Hoile

Elliotts Irrigation

Rellney Construction

All tenders received have been evaluated by an Evaluation Team consisting of the Contracts Manager, Contracts Officer and Team Leader of Purchasing Services. The following assessment criteria was used in the evaluation process:-

§ price of the goods; and

§ delivery period

The prices submitted by each tenderer were applied to a representative “basket of goods” resulting in the Total Eden tender being assessed as the most cost effective for the City. In terms of delivery, Total Eden’s tender was in line with the City’s requirements.

Total Eden is therefore recommended as the preferred tenderer providing the best value for money.

Comment

Total Eden has proven to be a reliable supplier in the past and have several stores, providing for accessibility for direct purchases if the need arises.

The Manager Contracts has reviewed the tender compliance and assessment process and endorses the recommendations.

Statutory Compliance

Tenders have been invited in accordance with Section 3.57 of the Local Government Act 1995 and associated regulations.

Strategic Implications

Nil

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The likely expenditure as a result of accepting the Total Eden tender based on last year’s turnover of stock will equate to $27,869.32. In the event that the City chooses to extend this contract or additional systems are installed over the period, expenditure is likely to exceed $50,000.00.

Issue

The acceptance of tenders for the Removal and Disposal of four (4) underground fuel tanks and associated equipment.

Background

As the fuel for the City’s fleet is procured by way of a fuel card, the underground fuel tanks and associated equipment located at the City’s Works Depot at Ashby are now redundant. This equipment is subject to statutory requirements, which are outlined in the Guidance and Code of Practice notes obtained from the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) below.

Section E 2.1 of Guidance note S.321 states that:

§ Under ground petroleum storage tanks may be temporarily left out of service. In order to comply with regulation 4.18 of the Regulations, tanks temporarily out of service must be decommissioned and treated in accordance with Section 3 of Code of Practice (CP) 22-1994;

§ Section 3.1 of CP22 states “The out of service” period should not be normally greater than twelve months.

However section 2.4 of S.321 allows a maximum of five years to comply. The City has sought clarification from the DME and they recommend that twelve months is the allowable time frame to comply unless acceptable reasons can be given.

It is appropriate that the City action the removal of the tanks as soon as possible. Removal will allow the City to:-

§ comply with statutory regulations;

§ obtain the maximum amount offered by the successful tenderer for the purchase of the redundant items;

§ minimise the escalation of costs if left for a longer period;

§ minimise the risk of environmental issues in the event tanks lose integrity; and

§ avoid escalation of future removal costs.

Detail

Tenders were invited (Tender No. 01221) for the removal of four (4) underground fuel tanks, bowsers and associated fittings. The tender also invited tenderers to submit an offer for the purchase of redundant items.

At the closing of tenders three (3) tenderers had submitted four (4) tenders. The alternative tender submitted by Metric Australia was considered by the Evaluation Team to be non-compliant as it did not address all aspects of the tender specification.

The three (3) complying tenders have been evaluated by Evaluation Team, consisting of the Contracts Manager, Contracts Officer and the Team Leader of Purchasing Services. The following assessment criteria was used in the evaluation process:-

§ price for the works and the amount offered for redundant items; and

§ safety management competencies.

The prices offered by the three (3) tenderers were as follows:-

Metric Australia $28,517 plus $193 per m³ of contaminated soil

Fuelquip $36,346 plus $45.80 per m³ of contaminated soil

Marconi Commerce $44,485 plus $104.50 per m³ of contaminated soil

It is noted that should there be a requirement to remove contaminated soil an estimated amount of 30m³ would need to be removed.

All tenderers were considered satisfactory in terms of their safety management competencies.

The results of the assessment show the tender of Metric Australia to represent the most advantageous option for the City.

Comment

The analysis of the tender shows that Metric Australia is the most advantageous. It is therefore recommended that the conforming tender from Metric Australia be accepted.

Statutory Compliance

Tenders have been invited in accordance with Section 3.57 of the Local Government Act 1995 and associated regulations.

Strategic Implications

Nil

Policy Implications

Financial Implications

The likely expenditure as a result of accepting the Metric Australia tender for the removal and purchase of the fuel tanks and associated equipment will be $28,517.00. An additional cost for the removal of contaminated soil (if present) is estimated at $5,790.00.

An amount of $55,519.00 has been allocated for the completion of this task in the City’s ‘New Initiative Budget 2001/2002’ (reference number BS4).

Issue

Assessment and recommendation for Tender Number 01228 - Supply and Delivery of Personal Computers.

Background

At the 5 September 2001 Ordinary Council meeting a resolution (Item CS03-09/01) was made to adopt a three (3) year replacement programme for the City's IT hardware inventory and that a schedule of equipment to be replaced with a proposed plan of budget variations be presented. Council, at its 6 November 2001 meeting (Attachment 1 - Item CS01-11/01) approved the schedule, budget variations and the calling of tenders for the acquisition of 96 PCs.

Detail

Tender 01228 for the Supply and Delivery of Personal Computers was advertised on 10 November 2001 and at close of tenders on 27 November 2001 there were sixteen (16) tender submissions creating a total of thirty three (33) offers as listed below.

Laptops

Two of the 3 laptops identified in the report are to replace the 2 out of service laptops in the Mobile Library. There is insufficient room in the library to take a standard desktop PC. The bench space does not permit a standard monitor to be used. There are presently 2 rental laptops in use there.

The other laptop is new, for the use of the Governance Unit in support the execution of Council Meeting.

Conclusion:

§ To not proceed with the replacement of the 81 PCs will have the following impact:

§ The implementation of the Electronic Document Management System and Action Request System will be hampered with some users unable to run the new systems

§ We will be unable to take the next major release of ProClaim, with the dilemma of support for the existing version ending 2nd quarter 2002.

§ The upgrade of Oracle Financials will be made more difficult by inadequate hardware required for the next release.

§ The costs of supporting the existing PC fleet will continue to rise as the entire fleet comes out of warranty with no maintenance mechanism in place.

Statutory Compliance

Section 6.8(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 1995 requires Council to authorise any expenditure incurred for which there is no budget provision. Such authorisation must occur prior to the expenditure being incurred and must be carried by an ABSOLUTE MAJORITY by Council.

Section 3.57 of the Local Government Act 1995 and associated regulations require a Local Government to call tenders for the purchase of goods expected to cost in excess of $50,000.

Strategic Implications

The Budget reallocation recommended in this report allows the City to effectively embark on the first year of a three (3) year replacement program for its computer hardware inventory as adopted by the Council at its meeting on 25 September 2001. Adherence to the three (3) year replacement program will ensure that the City maintains modern and up-to-date computing facilities capable of meeting its business requirements.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The reallocations being recommended will have no impact on the City’s 2001/2002 cash flow and it will allow the City to avoid the costly option of leasing its computer hardware inventory. It will be necessary for the 2002/2003 Budget to provide funding for the Oracle and Maximo Financial System Upgrade, as well as the second phase of the three (3) year replacement program.

Voting Requirements

Issue

Part of the City of Wanneroo’s Works Depot located at 1204 Wanneroo Road, Ashby, is currently being used by the City of Joondalup as a Works Depot. It is the intention of the City of Wanneroo to enter in to a lease agreement with the City of Joondalup to define responsibilities and eliminate any issues that may arise with the two Cities occupying the Site.

Background

When the Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup separated in 1999, it was the intention of the Commissioners to have an agreement in place to ensure that the use of the Depot by each City was fair and reasonable.

Legal advice was sought, and it was decided that a lease agreement would be entered into. The City’s Solicitor, John Woodhouse, Principal of Watts & Woodhouse prepared a lease document that was fair to both parties. This document was signed by both Cities with a commencement date 1 July 1999, for a period of three years. As a requirement of the lease, the document was sent to the Department of Land Administration (DOLA) for checking. At this time the City was advised that there were further requirements to be met.

The Depot is situated on Reserve 27366, and therefore owned by the Crown. A Management Order issued to each reserve permits the City to operate under certain guidelines. In the case of the Depot, the Management Order allowed the City to run a Municipal Works Depot, however it did not give the City the power to lease the premises. This information was not known at the time of the original lease being established and it therefore invalidated this lease. To formalise a lease agreement, DOLA had to make the necessary changes to the Management Order to accommodate the City’s request to lease part of the reserve.

A request from the Manager Business Services was sent to DOLA in January 2000 for the Order to be amended. After “temporarily misplacing” the file, DOLA advised in September 2000 that the Order had been amended giving the City the power to lease the reserve for period not exceeding twenty-one (21) years. The lease could only commence from the date of this Order (27 July 2000), and our Solicitor was instructed to draw up lease documents to reflect the new Management Order details.

In October 2000, a new lease document was delivered to the City of Wanneroo from the Solicitor. The lease documents were signed by the Mayor and the Chief Executive Officer and were forwarded to the City of Joondalup. At this time, the Mayor of the City of Joondalup raised concerns with the lease document, and instructed that a Property Condition Report be included in the lease document. City of Wanneroo staff completed this report on 5 January 2001.

Again, once the City of Joondalup received this report, more changes to the lease document were requested. It became apparent that the City of Joondalup was using areas at the Depot not specified in the original lease plan.

These additional areas were incorporated into the lease document and the lease fee was adjusted to reflect the new situation. Negotiations continued until April when both Cities agreed upon the actual areas used. The City’s solicitor was advised to prepare new lease documents.

In addition to the above, the City of Wanneroo was also required by DOLA to prepare maps of all ten leased areas. DOLA has quite rigid guidelines as to how the plans used in leased areas are to be presented which resulted in a Surveyor being employed to produce these plans.

In September 2001 the lease documents were drawn by the Solicitor encompassing all issues discussed above. The City of Joondalup was given the Documents to sign, and these were returned duly executed on 25 October 2001.

It appears that the request of the Commissioners was never formalised, hence this report.

Detail

Under the lease agreement the City of Joondalup (the Lessee) is required to pay for all telephone and other utility charges (other than water, gas and electricity), and be responsible for the maintenance of every part of the Premises and all lighting and electrical installations (other than any airconditioning unit). They are required to maintain all drainage and septic systems and all other fixtures and fittings in good and substantial repair, order and condition, fair wear and tear excepted. The payment of water, gas and electricity have been included in the Annual Rent figure.

The Lessee is required to keep a policy of insurance covering Public Risk for the amount of $10,000,000. Building Insurance has been included in the Annual Rent figure.

The City of Joondalup has at this time been occupying this area for two and a half years. It should be noted that the proposed lease is due to expire on 30 June 2002, although there are two further one-year terms which may be exercised by the City of Joondalup.

Rental is fixed for the initial term of the lease (ie to 30 June 2002), however, both one(1) year option periods provide for the review of rent at the commencement of the option.

The lease schedule and maps of the leased areas are outlined on Attachments 1 and 2.

Comment

This agreement will ensure protection to both parties by entering into a lease.

This document has been carefully screened and accepted by the Administrations of both Cities.

This lease was originally drawn as to not favour one party over another. At the time of the split between the two Cities, the City of Joondalup had no other options but to remain at the Wanneroo Road site.

This lease document recognises this, and allows for them to give not less than three months’ notice to vacate the premises. In view of this inclusion by the City of Joondalup it is recommended that a similar provision for the City of Wanneroo to terminate the lease should be included.

The City of Wanneroo Fire and Emergency Services have recently been relocated from the transportable building to Ashby Building No. 1. It is now proposed to relocate the emergency vehicles from the south western area of the Depot to the bitumenised area adjoining Ashby Building No. 1. This will require adjustment to the current parking arrangements for both the Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup. Negotiations are in hand to relocate the City of Joondalup vehicles/equipment from the areas highlighted H1-H4 on Attachment 2 to the area adjoining the buildings designated A, B and C. It is proposed that the City of Joondalup vehicles/equipment be relocated in January 2002. The Lease Survey will need to be amended at that time to reflect these changes to the parking arrangements.

The area to be leased by the City of Joondalup is defined as the premises in Attachment 1.

Statutory Compliance

The Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996, Section 30(2)(c)(iii) allows Council to not advertise the disposition of property if that property is being disposed of to another local government.

Issue

The Ministry of the Premier and Cabinet has informed Local Authorities who are involved in the Graffiti Program that the State Government will formally disengage from individual graffiti removal campaigns as from 1^st January 2002. This report seeks to outline the commitment required by the City to continue to operate a Graffiti Program and to seek Council endorsement to continue operation of this program.

Background

The State Government has operated a graffiti removal program for a number of years. This program has three main components. They are:

1. Removal of graffiti

2. Community education programs e.g. school visits

3. Involvement of volunteers to assist with clean up

Graffiti removal within the City is divided into the following two areas:

· Council Assets - coordinated by Building Maintenance Services; and

· Commercial and private properties – coordinated by the State Government Graffiti Program.

The City of Wanneroo joined the State Government Graffiti Program in 1998 and this has resulted in successful graffiti removal operations to residential and commercial properties over the past four years.

Detail

1. Graffiti Removal

The Program operates a ‘One Call Centre’ located in Balcatta, which is resourced as a joint venture with other Local and State Government bodies.

The City of Wanneroo provides the following contributions:

· plant and equipment in the form of two Utility vehicles, trailers and water blasters:

· a monetary contribution; and

· operational funds for administration, removal and paint out materials.

The State Government provides the following contributions:

· campaign management through the Call Centre; and

· until May 2001, removal of graffiti by State Government redeployees.

The monetary contribution (excluding capital purchased plant and equipment, materials and the City’s indirect costs) by the City and State Government in relation to the Wanneroo Graffiti Campaign and One Call centre in 2000/2001 were as follows:

City of Wanneroo monetary contribution to the One Call Centre	State Governments contribution to the running of the Wanneroo Graffiti Campaign
$12,000 (to cover salaries)	$70,000 (to cover salaries for personnel in the One Call Centre and redeployees)
$ 4,000 (to cover administration and consumables)	$11,400 (3.8% of Graffiti Program budget based on total operations and graffiti removal statistics)
$16,000	$81,400

In addition to the $16,000 monetary contribution the City expends approximately $67,000 annually, for graffiti removal operators employed by the City, employee related expenses, administration expenses, telephones, minor equipment purchase, maintenance and repair, consumables, paint, chemicals and vehicle lease and running expenses.

The Program originally provided two redeployees as removal operatives for the Wanneroo Campaign. This was reduced to one between December 2000 and May 2001.

As the City anticipated that the State Government may disengage from individual graffiti removal campaigns at some time in the future, the City subsequently employed a part time Graffiti Removal Operator in December 2000, to maintain the level of graffiti removal throughout the City.

With the reduction in the provision of redeployees to remove graffiti, the City was too large for one graffiti removal operator to cover. Subsequently the City employed a second part time Graffiti Removal Operator on an eight month fixed term contract which expires on 30 June 2002. During this time the future requirement of this position, and overall graffiti removal operations within the City, will be reviewed.

The City now has two fully operational graffiti removal units and is positioned as a lead organisation in positively influencing graffiti removal best practice within the metropolitan area.

The volume of administration processes in the One Call Centre in relation to the City of Wanneroo has decreased over the past six months and the City is now in maintenance mode. Therefore the administration procedures currently provided by the program, will be absorbed into the Building and Fleet Maintenance Services administration processes.

2. Community Education

In undertaking a holistic approach to graffiti damage, community and youth education has been seen to be a major component in graffiti reduction strategies.

Considerable resources in the past have been applied to school-based programmes encouraging early intervention and the building of community pride.

3. Volunteer Assistance

In the past, the State-based programme has co-ordinated and supported the involvement of volunteer labour in local community clean-ups.

The State Government has indicated in discussions that the current level of contact and administration requirements with regard to volunteers is low. According to the State, the volunteer base at present is significantly depleted and would require some development to ensure it is at its most effective.

The City currently operates a database that would make it possible to register and maintain contact with potential volunteers. It is envisaged that the development of a volunteer base would be possible through the City’s Community Services Unit, utilising existing resources. Community Services also intends to examine alternative funding sources to assist with the recruitment and management of potential volunteers, through alternate funding streams.

Comment

The Graffiti Program has been highly successful in removing graffiti from various areas across the City. The removal of graffiti is seen as an important component of instilling pride and ownership in local communities. In essence, the removal of graffiti shows that “someone cares” about what happens in the local community, and sends the message that graffiti will not be tolerated.

The Graffiti Program offers the City an opportunity to engage local communities, by involving volunteers in the process of graffiti removal and instilling a sense of ownership over local community facilities.

The actual removal of graffiti is only one part of a successful program. Community education is an essential part of limiting graffiti and the Graffiti Program would involve initiatives designed to advise the community about how they can get involved in graffiti removal in their local area.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The continued operation of the graffiti removal program has the potential to position the City as one of the leaders in this area, and to provide a model of best practice to other local governments and agencies.

Financial Implications

Residential and Commercial Properties

The ongoing annual commitment by the City of Wanneroo to assist in the graffiti removal operations from residential and commercial properties, with the disengagement of the State Government is as follows:

1 x Full Time Graffiti removal Operator	$23,384
1 x Part Time Graffiti removal Operator	$18,461
Employee Related Expenses	$650
Administration costs	$1,600
Telephones	$2,300
Minor Equipment (Maintenance & Replacement)	$3,400
Materials (Paint & Chemicals)	$15,500
Vehicle Insurance Excess	$1,000
Vehicle Leasing and running expenses	$19,025
	$85,322

These costs will need to be included in the operating budget for the Building & Fleet Maintenance Services Unit.

Council Assets

Contractors currently carry out the graffiti removal from Council assets. The individual budgets for these works are contained in the Business Services and Operational Services maintenance budget, with an average expenditure of $70,000 per annum.

Community Education & Volunteers

It is intended that the community education and volunteer management components of the program would be listed as new initiatives in the Community Services budget of 2002/2003.

Issue

Buckingham House be recommended to the Heritage Council of WA for consideration for entry onto the State Register of Heritage Places.

Background

The Register of Heritage Places is the statutory list of places given legal protection under the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, in recognition of their cultural heritage significance for the State.

Buckingham House, 10F Neville Drive Wanneroo, was built in the 1880’s and is one of the City’s oldest buildings. In 1975 the building and one acre of surrounding land was vested in, and held by, the Shire of Wanneroo, in trust, for the purpose of a museum.

In 2000 funding was received from the 2000/2001 Heritage Council of WA’s Heritage Grants program for the preparation of a Conservation Plan for the building. The Conservation Plan was prepared by Palassis Architects in June 2001 with a recommendation that the place be considered for listing on the Register of Heritage Places.

Detail

The Heritage Services Advisory Committee considered the assessments (see Attachment 1) prepared by the Heritage Officer for listing on the National Trust List and the State Heritage Register at its meeting on 12 October 2001. The Committee endorsed both nominations but decided the application for registration on the State Heritage Register should be referred to Council for its approval.

Buckingham House is listed on the City’s Municipal Heritage Inventory and an application has been made to the National Trust of Australia (WA) for listing on their list of historic places.

Registration of Buckingham House is a tangible way Council can show its support for the preservation of Wanneroo’s heritage and ensure the preservation of the building for future generations. Registration does not change the ownership of the building but it establishes the importance of the place as part of the State’s heritage.

Any development that might affect the significance of a place on the Register must be referred to the Heritage Council for advice, however minor works and normal routine maintenance are unlikely to be affected.

Consultation

This matter was discussed at the Heritage Services Advisory Committee meeting of 12 October and was endorsed by that group.

Comment

Registration of the building is a recognition of the importance of the building to the community. Registration will assist in obtaining additional funding through sources such as the State Heritage Grants programme.

Cockman House, also owned by Council, was entered on the Register in 1997.

10. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Buckingham House, a single storey limestone and corrugated iron roofed cottage, in the Victorian Georgian style, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons:

· the place has aesthetic value as a modest, four roomed, random rubble limestone cottage dating from the mid to late nineteenth century. The simple vernacular form of the cottage with its almost symmetrical facade, minimal ornamentation, and steeply pitched roof, demonstrates of the 19^th century colonial approach to the design of domestic housing;

· the place is highly valued by the community as is evidenced by the City of Wanneroo’s ongoing commitment to its conservation and by the voluntary effort of members of the community in running the Pioneer Activities educational programme at the place;

· the place provides insight into the history of European settlement in Western Australia, in general, and the establishment of farming in the Wanneroo district, in particular;

· the place is a rare example of a rural dwelling dating from the mid to late nineteenth century, in the northern metropolitan area of Perth; and

· the place is associated with the Buckingham family, who settled in the Wanneroo district in 1855. John Buckingham Junior built Buckingham House in c1880.

11. 3. SCIENTIFIC VALUE

Buckingham House contributes to a wider understanding of the history of human occupation of the Wanneroo district through its function as a teaching site. (Criterion 3.2)

11. 4. SOCIAL VALUE

Buckingham House is of social value for its association with the European settlement of the Wanneroo district and because it contributes to the community’s sense of place as one of a few pioneer buildings remaining in the district. (Criteria 4.1 and 4.2)

Buckingham House is highly valued by the community as is evidenced by its inclusion in the City of Wanneroo’s Municipal Inventory, by the City of Wanneroo’s ongoing commitment to its conservation and by the voluntary effort of members of the community in running the Pioneer Activities educational programme at the place. (Criterion 4.1)

12. DEGREE OF SIGNIFICANCE

12. 1. RARITY

Buckingham House is a rare example of a dwelling dating from the mid to late nineteenth century in Western Australia, which has been preserved in an authentic state and in a structurally sound condition. There are few buildings of this age and degree of preservation in the northern Perth region. (Criterion 5.1)

Buckingham House is rare as a modest dwelling associated with the farming of the land around the Lake Joondalup area. Farming of area close to the lake is no longer practised due to the increasing urbanisation of the area. (Criterion 5.2)

12. 2 REPRESENTATIVENESS

Buckingham House is a representative example of vernacular cottages constructed during the mid to late nineteenth century in Western Australia. The almost symmetrical front elevation, the steeply pitched hipped roof, the use of local materials and the planning with rear rooms under a skillion roof are all characteristic of this building type. (Criterion 6.1)

12. 3 CONDITION

Buckingham House is fully restored and is in good condition. It has been well maintained by the City of Wanneroo. New toilets and a 'wash house' have been built.

12. 4 INTEGRITY

Buckingham House has a high degree of integrity. It is no longer utilised as a residence, however it is utilised to interpret the way of life of early settlers and as such preserved the original intention of the place. It retains its original four room configuration and the current educational use provides for sympathetic intepretation and re-use of the place.

12. 5 AUTHENTICITY

Buckingham House remains largely as constructed with sympathetic restoration work. Externally the verandah is new, the roof sheeting has been replaced and new roof plumbing installed and the eastern most chimney does not date from the original time of construction. The internal fabric remains largely as constructed with some replacement of internal finishes, including the ceilings. The outbuildings and landscape works do not date from the original time of construction. As such the place has a high degree of authenticity.

13. SUPPORTING EVIDENCE

Attached are key sections of the supporting evidence prepared by Palassis Architects.

13. 1 DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE

Buckingham House is a single storey, four room, limestone cottage, built in an unpretentious Victorian Georgian style.^{^[1]} It was built by John Buckingham jnr circa 1880.

In 1934, only five years after the foundation of Swan River Colony, John Butler led the first recorded excursion, into what is now the Wanneroo district, in search of missing cattle.[2] In 1838 explorer Lt George Grey camped near Lake Joondalup on an expedition north of Perth, later reporting favourably on the agricultural potential of the area.[3] A short time later, the first leases of land around the southern shores of Lake Joondalup were taken up by a partnership of George Hodges, James Dobbins, John Connolly, and Thomas Hester.[4]

Interest in the area increased after the 1841 journey of Colonial Surveyor J.S. Roe and Governor Hutt through Wanneroo to the Yanchep area.[5] The absence of a satisfactory road connecting Wanneroo to the market opportunities of the City, dampened the enthusiasm of potential settlers. Reverend John Smithers established a ‘native experimental farm’ for Aborigines on the shores of Lake Goollelal in 1844, and, five years later, Patrick Marmion established a whaling station in the area of present-day Sorrento, it was not until 1852 that the first European settlers were established in Wanneroo. In that year, James and Mary Ann Cockman built a homestead on 45 acres on the east shores of Walluburnup Swamp, near what is now the intersection of Wanneroo Road and Woodvale Drive.[6] Around 1860, James Cockman built a new homestead in the vicinity of the earlier building.

The history of the Buckingham family in Western Australia began in 1850 when the brothers Thomas [b. 1808] and John Buckingham [b. 1818], and their married sister Elizabeth [b. 1812] and her husband, Richard Cockram [b. 1814], their spouses and children, arrived in the Colony on the vessel Sofia.[7] By 1855 Thomas Buckingham Senior had constructed a paperbark hut for his family on land at Lake Pinjar.[8] The Buckinghams had interests in other parts of the Colony also; at Roleystone for grazing and farming,[9] and later Thomas Buckingham Junior developed a water-driven saw mill at Roleystone beginning a long association with saw-milling of native timber in Western Australia.[10]

During this same period, the Wanneroo District was slowly developing an infrastructure capable of supporting a sizeable settler population. In 1862 Wanneroo Road was gazetted and in 1871 construction commenced.[11] The same year marked the beginning of local government in Western Australia with the formation of the Perth Districts Road Board, which encompassed Wanneroo, now home to an estimated 60 families.[12] By 1873, a school building fund was established;[13] the following year the first government school in Wanneroo, near Lake Goollelal, was [officially] opened by Governor Weld.[14] In 1883 Wanneroo was placed on the mail timetable, when a weekly horseback delivery service was provided[15] and in 1885 a telephone service was introduced to the district.[16] In 1894, the telegraph service was extended to the District.[17]

Also, in 1876, John Buckingham [b. 1848], the son of John Buckingham Senior, had purchased Swan Location 877, covering approximately 100 acres, on the eastern side of Lake Joondalup[18] and around 1880 built a house on the site (later to become known as Buckingham House).[19] Not long after, in 1884 John Buckingham Junior purchased Swan Locations 824 and 1034 on the eastern shores of Lake Joondalup, immediately north of his existing land at Location 877.[20] As with other members of the Buckingham family, however, John Junior focused his energies on his land at Kelmscott. In 1894 the first Western Australian Post Office Directory was published, listing John Buckingham Senior and John Buckingham Jnr as farmers, residents of Kelmscott,[21] while the following year John Buckingham Junior was recorded as a sawmiller, and a vine grower, in the same locality.[22]

Because of the priority given by John Buckingham Jnr to his interests in the Kelmscott area, in 1899 the Buckingham House property was leased by gardener and dairyman William Tapping, and his wife Mary Ann.[23] Buckingham, nonetheless, maintained at least some interest in Wanneroo for, in the same year, he donated a five acre site off Wanneroo Road where a new school building was constructed.[24] However, by 1904, John and Thomas Buckingham were listed as the principals of Buckingham Bros, sawmillers, of Kelmscott,[25] and two years later, the Buckingham House property, Location 877, as well as Location 824, was leased to Charles Ashby, gardener, until 1908.[26]

In 1907 the townsite of Wanneroo was gazetted.[27] By 1908, market gardeners Pietro and Lucia Fomiati arrived in the District from Sonorio, Italy, marking the beginning of a wave of migration from southern Europe, that continued to grow after World War 1.[28]

In 1909, the Buckingham House property, Location 877, as well as Location 824, was leased to Richard Leggo, gardener,[29] while the next year, both properties were leased to Dave Walker [until 1920].[30] In 1927, title to Buckingham House passed to George Tapping, ending the association of the Buckingham family with Wanneroo.[31] In 1940, Gladys Tapping gained title to the Buckingham House property on the death of her husband, George.[32] Benjamin Togno acquired Buckingham House and surrounding land,[33] with Togno disposing of this property in 1950 to Mr J.A. and Mrs E.O. Neville.[34] In 1968, the Neville’s interest in the Buckingham House land was transferred to the Australasian Development Co. Prop. Ltd,[35] and later in the same year to Taylor Woodrow Corser Prop. Ltd.[36]

In 1969, Taylor Woodrow Corser commenced development of the Buckingham House property for a housing estate on the eastern shores of Lake Joondalup.[37]

Although the poor condition of Buckingham House led Wanneroo Shire Council to propose demolition of the structure, this decision was rescinded early in 1970.[38]

Archival photographs of the place taken in c1970 show the front elevation viewed from the south east and the western elevation. The photographs show a bullnose verandah to the front that has been enclosed at the northern end. A vine covered timber post and rail fence runs to the rear of the house with a masonry WC at the northern end and a timber and corrugated iron tankstand to the southern end. There is also a timber framed lean-to section at the rear (western elevation) which appears to have a brick wall and chimney at the southern end. Two of the Togno daughters who lived at Buckingham House during the 1940s have identified this lean-to as being their meals area for use of family and dairy staff. They also indicated that the windows in the south side of the bedrooms were installed during the 1940s.[39]

In 1972, Buckingham House was inspected by Western Australian Museum staff to ascertain its suitability for use as a local history museum.[40] Two years later, Wanneroo Shire Council requested the Western Australian Museum to develop the Buckingham House site as a local museum under Section 37 of the Museum Act [1969].[41] The same year, Wanneroo Shire Council requested the Department of Lands and Surveys to vest Buckingham House in the Council for use as a museum.[42]

After ensuring the preservation of this building from the early days of the settlement of Wanneroo, in 1975 Buckingham House and one acre of surrounding land was vested in, to be held in trust, by the Shire of Wanneroo, for the general purpose of a museum.[43] An official decision was made two years later by the Shire to establish a local history museum at the site.[44] To this end, in 1975, an inspection of Buckingham House was carried out by an architect from the Public Works Department, a structural engineer, and a Building Surveyor from the Shire of Wanneroo.[45] That same year, preliminary restoration work on Buckingham House commenced.[46] While it is not clear the extent of work carried out at this time, a third archival photograph of the place has been located dating from c1983, which shows the front and northern elevations viewed from the north east. This photograph indicates that grounds have been cleared and the front verandah and rear lean-to removed by this time.

In order to properly complete the renovation task that had been commenced, in 1983 a Conservation Policy for Buckingham House was prepared by John Pidgeon, Architect.[47]

Around the same time, a geotechnical inspection of the Buckingham House site was carried out.[48] In 1984 renovation of the house commenced,[49] with the replacement of the roof sheeting, new roof plumbing, rebuilding of the eastern most chimney and repointing of the western most chimney. The sections of render on the external walls were removed and the limestone walls repointed. A new bullnose verandah was constructed to the front elevation.[50] Internally the walls were re-surfaced, with old plaster work removed, and a second coat of bagwash applied; plasterboard ceilings removed, being renewed with plasterboard and battens to match the existing ceilings; new electrical wiring carried out; the wooden skirtings replaced; and internal and external painting undertaken.[51] Other work included paving to the front verandah area; laying of crushed limestone paving; the fitting of security screens to all windows; landscape gardening works; new galvanized corrugated iron sheeting to roofs; and repair and rebuilding of the chimney. In addition, a toilet block, in materials sympathetic to those used on the main house, was constructed in the south-west corner of the site.[52]

On the 2nd of November 1985, Buckingham House opened as a museum.[53] In March 1986, the Pioneer Activities Programme for School Groups was established and continues to operate at the site.[54] Further work was carried out on the Buckingham House site in 1987, when a wash house facility was constructed, and display shelving added to the kitchen.[55]

13. 2 PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

Buckingham House is situated at 10 Neville Drive, Wanneroo. Buckingham House comprises a limestone and iron cottage situated on the southern side of Neville Drive and adjoining Neville Park to the south. The cottage is set back approximately 11 metres from the front boundary and is orientated with its entry facing east. Two outbuildings, comprising a timber and iron shelter shed and a limestone and iron toilet block, are situated to the west and south-west of the cottage. The grounds of Buckingham House are fenced with a 2.4 m high chain link and barbed wire fence. There is a vehicular access gate at the western end of the front boundary fence and a pedestrian access gate in the middle of the eastern boundary fence.

Buckingham House is situated in a suburban housing development characterised by single dwellings set well back on large blocks. Single dwellings have been constructed to both the eastern and western side of Buckingham House. A right of way runs between both these dwellings and Buckingham House. The right of way to the western side comprises an open grassed pathway, which is wide enough for vehicular access. The right of way to the eastern side comprises a centrally located concrete paver path, which provides pedestrian access to Buckingham House, to a childcare centre to the south east and to Neville Park to the south. There are views from Buckingham House across Neville Park to Lake Joondalup.

The grounds of Buckingham House are characterised by a number of mature trees planted in an open grassed area. These trees comprise groupings of Cottonwoods, a Flame Tree, a large Pepper Tree and a small Citrus tree. Two rows of Poplars have been planted along the northern side of the front boundary fence and to the inside of the eastern boundary fence.

Dairy farming implements and machinery dating from the early to mid 20^th century have been placed in the grounds. A painted timber sign with interpretive details has been erected to the street frontage.

Buckingham House is a single storey, four room, limestone cottage, built in an unpretentious Victorian Georgian style.^{^[56]} The cottage is orientated with the front door facing east. The almost symmetrical facade has a front entry door, which is situated off centre and opens directly into the living room. The main bedroom is adjacent to the living room to the south. These two rooms comprise the front portion of the cottage and are housed under a steeply pitched gabled iron roof. The two rooms to the rear of the cottage are housed under a skillion iron roof and consist of the kitchen and second bedroom. These rooms are set one step down from the front portion of the house. A bullnose verandah with an iron roof and timber posts has been constructed to the front elevation of the cottage.

A shelter shed with timber posts and iron cladding and a timber pergola has been constructed to the rear (west) of the cottage. A limestone toilet block with a gabled iron roof and has been constructed to the south-west of the cottage.

The place is currently utilised as a Pioneer Activity Centre for Children and is furnished to reflect the use of the cottage as a home for pioneers in the Wanneroo area.

The external walls are 400mm thick, random rubble, limestone. There is no damp proof coursing. There is red face brick quoining to the door and window openings. The cream mortar shows evidence of repointing. There is evidence of staining and deterioration to the limestone on the north and south elevations due to the effects of the bore water reticulation. The mortar is moderately weathered.

The front door is a timber framed, four panel timber door with a timber lintel and timber threshold. All external timber work is painted cream. The rear door is a timber framed, ledged and braced door with a timber lintel and timber threshold.

Timber beading has been fitted to the bottom of this door to prevent further deterioration of the lower section of the door. There are two timber framed pairs of casement windows to each of the east, south and west elevations. The windows to the east and south elevations have a central glazing bar to each pane. The windows have painted timber lintels and rendered sills. The external sills to the west elevation windows are horizontal and, unlike the other windows, do not slope away from the window to shed water. Some of the window panes have been replaced with clear perspex, the others retain clear glazing. The timber frames to the western windows are severely deteriorated at the bottom. There is some evidence of minor deterioration to the other window frames. The rendered sills are showing evidence of moderate deterioration.

The roof sheeting is corrugated galvanised iron. The gutters and down pipes are galvanised iron. There are two chimneys on the northern side of the cottage. There is a chimney pot to the western most chimney and the face bricks of this chimney match the brick quoining. The mortar to the western most chimney is moderately weathered.

The timber framed bullnose verandah has four square timber posts. Timber lapping has been fixed to either end of the bullnosing. The roof sheeting is corrugated galvanised iron with galvanised iron gutter and down pipes. The verandah floor comprises limestone paving at ground level. The paving is moderately deteriorated due to water ingress.

The ground surrounding the cottage slopes gently south west (towards Lake Joondalup). The ground to the north and east is higher than the floor level of the cottage. There are garden beds directly adjacent to the north, south and west elevations. A concrete path has been laid adjacent to the garden beds.

There is no evidence of a ground drainage system.

Internal

The floors are butt jointed timber floorboards that appear to be laid on joists directly on the ground. The floor boards to the living room and bedrooms are 160mm wide and to the kitchen are 135mm wide. They run north south in the living room, kitchen and bedroom and east west in the main bedroom. There is one step down into the kitchen from the living room. The timber skirtings are 210mm high and are painted black. The floorboards show signs of wear, but are generally in good condition.

The walls are rough, rendered limestone, painted white. There is evidence of moderate to severe deterioration due to moisture ingress on the internal eastern and southern elevations and moderate deterioration on the internal western elevation. There is some cracking above and below the eastern elevation window openings.

The plasterboard ceiling is painted white, with timber battens painted black. The ceiling is generally in good condition with the exception of the kitchen ceiling, which is severely stained due to smoke from the fireplace.

All the internal doors are timber framed, ledged and braced doors, which are painted black. There are timber lintels above the doorways, which are painted white, and the timber architraves are painted black.

The rendered brick fireplaces are situated in the centre of the northern walls of both the living room and kitchen. The arched fireplace to the living room has a simple timber surround and mantlepiece, painted black. The kitchen fireplace has an open fire and grate with no mantlepiece.

There is no plumbing to the cottage. The cottage has been rewired. There are a variety of suspended light fittings.

The shelter shed comprises a partially enclosed timber framed and iron clad structure with an iron skillion roof and a slatted timber floor. A timber pergola extends from the shelter shed towards the cottage with concrete pavers on the ground. A well with a hand pump is located in this area.

The limestone toilet block has a hipped corrugated iron roof with no roof plumbing. It comprises both a male and female toilet, which are also suitable for disabled access, and a store. The toilets have concrete floors and the store has an earthen floor. The store is utilised for the storage of firewood.

The condition of Buckingham House is generally good. The condition of the place indicates the place has been subject to ongoing care by City of Wanneroo. There is evidence of rising damp and some cracking to the walls of the cottage and smoke damage to the kitchen ceiling and walls.

Buckingham House remains largely as constructed. The verandah is new. The roof sheeting has been replaced and new gutters and downpipes have been installed. The eastern most chimney does not date from the original time of construction. The internal fabric remains largely as constructed with some replacement of internal finishes, including the ceilings.

13. 3 COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

Buckingham House can be compared to other settler’s cottages dating from the mid to late nineteenth century both in the Wanneroo area and in the broader regional context. The following cottages, which are located in the northern metropolitan area of Perth are listed in the State Register and are examples of similar cottages to Buckingham House.

Cockman House (1860)

Cockman House is a single storey stone walled and corrugated iron roofed house with adjacent outbuildings situated at 1230 Ocean Reef Road, Woodvale. This is the only cottage in the City of Wanneroo on the State Register. It is particularly significant as the earliest extant cottage in the district.

Cottage, Old Balcatta Road (c 1880-1900)

The cottage at 23 Old Balcatta Road, Carine is a four roomed single storey limestone cottage with a corrugated iron roof and associated outbuildings. This cottage is a rare example of a nineteenth century cottage extant in the lakes area north of Perth city.

The plan of Buckingham House is typical of nineteenth century cottages built in Western Australia. Typically, vernacular cottages comprised a core of one of two rooms on either side of a central passage, covered with a steeply pitched, usually hipped, roof. The designs then varied with either a front verandah and a lean-to covering the rear rooms and a rear verandah or, alternatively, the core was surrounded by a verandah at a lesser pitch, which was enclosed to form additional rooms. Buckingham House is an example of the former planning arrangement, as are both Cockman House and the Cottage, Old Balcatta Road.

Typically, the construction materials of these cottages utilised the local materials available. This was particularly the case with small buildings, such as Buckingham House, which were constructed of local limestone. The roof cladding was often sheoak shingles, as these could be split on site, although corrugated iron roofs were sometimes utilised.

The verandahs were often later additions and were steeply pitched in order to shed water. The verandah at Cockman House is still extant and is an example of the type of verandah common to nineteenth century cottages. Internally the floors were wide jarrah boards which were fixed over timber joists set on or close to the ground and were butt-jointed, as is the case in both Buckingham House and Cockman House. In both these structures there is a step down to the rear rooms, which is also characteristic of cottages to this era.

Buckingham House is one of the few surviving examples of nineteenth century rural cottages conserved in their setting in metropolitan Perth.

Issue

Council is required to determine future Management and Provision of Golfing Services at Marangaroo Golf Course (No 007-93/94) and Carramar Golf Course (No 054-93/94).

Background

The Carramar and Marangaroo Golf Courses have been operational since 1988 and 1994 respectively. In 1993, the former City of Wanneroo invited public tenders for the Management and Provision of Golfing Services – Carramar and Marangaroo Golf Course. The leases were awarded to Golf Course Controllers Tim Crosbie and Craig Duncan. The leases entrust Course Controllers responsibility for course operations including collection of green fees on behalf of the City. Course Controllers coordinate commercial operations in the Pro Shop and via provision of professional coaching services. Both leases are exclusive of course maintenance.

The former Council adopted 5 year leases with extension options of a further three years subject to a satisfactory performance review and at the request of the lessee. Crosbie & Duncan fulfilled these obligations and exercised this option. Both leases were extended until 4 March 2002 at Marangaroo and 15 May 2002 at Carramar.

At the previous Council meeting held on Tuesday 27^th November 2001, Council resolved to extend the expiry date of the Marangaroo lease to 15^th May 2002 so that both leases now expire at the same time.

Financial

The City sets and reviews Green Fees each year as part of the schedule of fees and charges. The City retains 90% of Green Fees and Driving Range Fees. Course Controllers commission 10% of the fees received as provision of management and golfing services on behalf of the City. Under the terms and conditions of the existing leases, the City has recorded operating profits across both Golf Courses highlighted in the table below.

The City receives a rental for the lease of the buildings on each Course, which includes the office, kiosk, golf equipment workshop, toilet and ablution amenities. The rental is reflective of a valuation on each facility, increasing over the term of each lease. The following table outlines the rent schedule over the term of the current leases.

2001	$27,501.24	$26,000

Management Performance

The nature of the service provided by the professional Golf Course Controllers is seen as a priority to the City. Professional operation and coaching services, competitively set Green Fees by the City, course location and presentation result in over 180,000 people participating at the City’s Golf Courses each year. The participation figures have remained relatively constant over the terms of the existing leases.

The existing leases have enabled Crosbie and Duncan to successfully trade at both facilities. This fact was recognised by the Australian Professional Golf Association in 1999 when Crosbie and Duncan were named Retailer of the Year.

The golfing market requires continued assessment of the facilities, programs and services supplied by the City and Course Controllers. Council Officers have recognised that throughout the duration of each lease, the City had undertaken no substantial upgrades, additions or improvement to either facility. Furthermore, the City does not have reserved funds from Golf Course operating revenue to reinvest in either asset should the need be identified.

Subsequently, City Officers perceived a need to review facility requirements at the City’s Golf Courses. This review coincided with assessing conditions of future lease agreements that are due for negotiation in 2002 and identification of potential funding arrangements.

Detail

In December 2000, the existing Golf Course Controllers approached the City documenting plans for extensions to both Marangaroo and Carramar Golf Course facilities. The proposal was based on a perceived need to provide improved facilities at both Golf Courses. The existing Golf Course Controllers were eager to undertake the extensions providing the tenure of their leases reflected the capital commitment.

The City’s Leisure Services Unit evaluated each proposal in order to validate the need to upgrade each facility. In June 2001, City Officers undertook a review of facilities at the Carramar and Marangaroo Golf Course to establish whether existing infrastructure reflected current and perceived future demands. Specific objectives included assessing existing facilities utilisation, identifying current and future requirements of the golfing community and comparing ‘like’ golf course facilities in the Perth metropolitan area. Findings were summarised in a Needs Assessment that established minimum priorities for facility upgrades. A full copy of the Needs Assessment is included as Attachment 1.

The Needs Assessment indicated that whilst both facilities satisfy basic consumer requirements, upgrades to improve functionality and aesthetics were required. Representatives from Clubs and existing players from both facilities were consulted to identify priorities. Commercial consideration from Crosbie and Duncan was also determined as was a comparative review of other local government golf course facilities and consultation with industry professionals. In each case, the upgrade that met the communities need was placed as the highest priority.

A list of the priorities identified are as follows:

Marangaroo Golf Course

Enclose undercover area.

Increase size of toilet / change room

Provide additional Storage / Workshop areas

Increase size of Pro Shop.

Carramar Golf Course

Enclose undercover area.

Increase storage area

The total estimated cost to provide the identified upgrades is $360,473 being $116,103 for Carramar and $244,370 for Marangaroo. Concept plans were developed and are submitted as Attachments 2 & 3.

Council Officers acknowledged a potential to explore options to provide the facility improvements identified in the Needs Assessment whilst determining the future leases at the City’s Golf Courses.

Whilst the City is not obliged to tender, the ability to test the market place seeking the best deal for Council is common enterprise and supported as a proven business approach.

Options

Council can structure future leases so that the City’s income is increased to offset the cost of the City funding the identified facility improvements or tender for Course Controllers to finance the provision of the identified amenities.

These two alternatives have been explored to highlight potential lease structures that will enable Council to provide facilities that reflect both consumer and commercial requirements. These options are designed with the intention to offset the initial investment over the life expectancy of the facility. All ongoing operational costs will be met by the lessee under the terms and conditions of the lease. To ensure maximum return on investment by Council or Course Controllers, both alternatives were examined in order to present Council with a clear understanding of options available.

Notwithstanding important considerations in evaluating contract submissions including details of experience and operation strategy, the following three options represent initiatives considered feasible to examine.

Option (1) – Tender - Council Fund Facility Upgrades

This option requires a commitment from Council to fund the minimum identified upgrades in the 2002 / 2003 Budget and detail this fact in the tender document. Offers are sought from qualified Course Controllers requesting a proposed remuneration package inclusive of the management commission requested from Council and rent payable on the facility.

Under these conditions, market forces will dictate the management commission and valuation for rent. The City will assess each application based on financial return under such an agreement. This process will enable Council to engage the best agreement that offsets the cost of initially funding the required improvements.

The following table indicates Councils financial return based on changes to the management percentage. Figures are based on 2000 /2001 income received compared to the percentage commission charged.

Percentage	Fees and Charges	Expenditure	Difference
11%	$2,154,722	$237,019	- $21,547
10%	$2,154,722	$215,472	0
9%	$2,154,722	$193,924	+ $21,548
8%	$2,154,722	$172,377	+ $43,096

As indicated above, a 1% reduction to the management commission results in a $21,548 return to Council. This method encourages Course Controllers to increase fee receipts as increased attendance translates to increased financial return. However, a decrease in fee receipts would see lower dividends for the City and Course Controllers.

Providing the successful tender reduced the percentage management commission or increased rent on the presumption that the facility upgrades are completed by 30 June 2003, Council could offset its commitment to fund the upgrades. Council could seek submissions that would reflect these conditions for the second and subsequent years of the term.

Option (2) Tender - Course Controller to Finance Facility Upgrades

This option provides Council the ability to achieve facility improvements by requesting prospective Course Controllers to structure tender submissions inclusive of capital investment to construct the identified upgrades.

This option permits Course Controllers to structure the management commission and/or rent schedules to account for financial commitment towards providing the upgraded facilities. The City would assess applicants against four criteria being financial commitment to facility improvements, management commission, rent, and operating strategy. Applicants would be provided with a copy of the Needs Assessment as justification to facility improvements including concept designs and indicative costs. Applicants have the ability to structure proposals encompassing all facets of facility provision including design and funding consideration that would ultimately effect the commission and rent structures.

The term of the lease would need to reflect the capital investment by the Course Controllers. Council could consider proposals that exceed the minimum facility upgrades identified.

Option (3) Negotiate with existing Course Controllers to Finance Facility Upgrades

This option enables Council the opportunity to negotiate terms of a new lease with existing managers Crosbie and Duncan. Council would exercise the right to refrain from seeking new Course Controllers based on the presumption that Crosbie and Duncan continue to provide the City with a high quality service at an appropriate cost. This fact would require advertisement for 14 days of the negotiated lease enabling public comment.

Council can negotiate with Crosbie and Duncan to determine the extent of facility improvements that they are willing to undertake and at what cost. The considerations in structuring management commission and rent of the facility would still apply. Similarly, the term of the lease would need to reflect the capital commitment.

Comment

Council is requested to determine the future management and provision of golfing services at both Marangaroo and Carramar Golf Courses as both leases are due to expire. The Needs Assessment highlighted minimum requirements to upgrade facilities at both Golf Courses. The commercial disposition of the services provided at both facilities presents Council with the opportunity to explore funding arrangements to achieve the identified facility improvements. Capital improvements to either facility can be offset by structuring rent reflective of the value of intended property improvements and/or reduced management commission requested from Council.

Council Officers have analysed each option in order to provide Council with a clear direction and preferred alternative to achieve the desired facility improvements. Whilst each option provides Council with differing opportunities, each variable effects Councils ability to achieve the same operating result. The option that enables Council the ability to provide facilities and retain the highest financial benefit at no detriment to the quality of services provided by Course Controllers, is recommended. This scenario enables Council to realise a win-win outcome with the public receiving much needed facilities and professional services at reduced cost to the City.

Each option has been assessed to determine its ability to meet these desired outcomes. The commercial nature of the facilities on offer and identified as being needed indicate financial commitments should be pursued from Course Controllers. For this, Council should not consider contributing towards additional facilities that would benefit the operations of commercial operators without adequate return on investment.

Further, whilst the services provided by existing Course Controllers are considered valuable, Council can determine if the current financial arrangement is appropriate by market testing through a tender process.

For these reasons, City Officers recommend Option 2 Course Controller to Finance Facility Upgrades as it provides the greatest opportunities for Council to develop the required facilities at Marangaroo and Carramar Golf Courses. This option enables tenderers the ability to document offers encompassing rent for the facility and management commissions requested from Council based on their commitment to finance the desired facility improvements. A copy of the Needs Assessment would be provided to support the upgrade of each facility.

Submissions would include the proposed remuneration package over the term of the leases and would be selected on the following criteria:

a) Management Commission requested from Council to undertake Course Controller responsibilities

b) An undertaking that the successful tenderer would finance the minimum facility upgrades identified in the Needs Assessment.

c) Rent schedule for each facility subject to the above conditions, and

d) Additionally, applicants should include details of experience and outline of proposed operation strategy, staff levels and estimated turnover from activities.

e) As the lessee is responsible for providing a service on behalf of the City it is important that they are good corporate citizens who can portray the City in a professional manner. It is also important that the lessee provides services to meet the needs of the community and ensure these services are easily accessible. This may require ongoing needs assessment through regular survey of users.

To ensure applicants can achieve the criteria, City Officers recommend a ten year lease be offered with a 5 year option subject to a satisfactory performance review. This will provide incentive considering the financial commitment being requested and act to protect Course Controller investment.

To progress, Council is requested to authorise administration to prepare tender documentation for Management and Provision of Golfing Services at Marangaroo and Carramar Golf Courses based on these requirements. A draft copy of the Tender Specifications has been placed in the Councillors reading room.

Policy Implications

The City’s Lease Policy provides a framework that enables Council to distribute and consider lease agreements over community assets in a consistent and equitable manner. Commercial building leases require the City to rate usage of the building at a level determined by an approved rental valuer.

The recommendation is to seek offers to provide Management and Provision of Golfing Services based on financial return, and therefore the lease payable will be determined by tender.

Financial Implications

Despite the City’s two public Golf Courses producing an excellent source of revenue for Council, netting over $1m per annum, there is no process in place to ensure sufficient funds are put aside to re-invest in the facilities. In order to maintain and improve the two Golf Courses it is recommended that a set percentage of net profit be transferred into a Reserve fund each year which can only be used to fund course and facility improvements.

Responsible Golf Course management requires the implementation and funding of a structured program of Green and Tee reconstruction, fairway and drainage upgrades, installation of new furniture and facilities and constant improvement to off fairway areas. The Needs Assessment highlights facility upgrades that require immediate attention. Other areas that will require funds in the future include upgrading of Driving Ranges, installation of lights, and other improved player facilities. As evident, the reduction to the turf maintenance contract that was negotiated in 2001 and valid until October 2005 has improved the operating result at both City Courses yet has not been redirected to maintaining each golf course asset.

It should be noted that in the past two years Council has approved budget funding of $80,000 at Marangaroo and $35,000 at Carramar for the upgrade of the playing facilities. This program needs to be maintained on an annual basis.

Setting aside a set percentage of net profit each year will even out the peaks and troughs of funding required and alleviate the need for Council to source funds from the Municipal fund for improvements on an ad hoc basis.

As the future management arrangements are yet to be negotiated it is premature to recommend a long term financial management plan until the new arrangements have been agreed to. City administration are currently preparing a report on the long term financial commitment required to ensure our Golf Course assets are maintained to an acceptable standard and an appropriate recommendation will be put to Council for consideration when the new lease is negotiated.

City of Wanneroo

Needs Assessment

Public Golf Courses

Needs Assessment - Golf Course Capital Improvements

1.0 Introduction

The City of Wanneroo own, maintain and operate (through management lease with Duncan and Crosbie), two public golf courses, Carramar and Marangaroo, which cater for in excess of 180,000 players per year.

The Carramar Golf Course is best described as a public course of resort-style standard. Designed by Bob Stanton and opened in 1994, it is renowned for being one of the best public golf courses in Perth.

The Murray Dawson designed Marangaroo Golf Course opened in 1988 and has become one of the busiest 18 hole public courses in Perth. Built by the City, it continues to offer affordable green fees which has allowed it to establish a strong position in the Western Australian public course market.

Whilst the attendance figures at both courses have provided tremendous financial benefit to the City ( approx $1.2m net in 2000 / 01), neither facility has been assessed to determine if they reflect the current or future needs of the community. The process of assessing what type of facilities the City should provide has been pre-empted by Duncan and Crosbie, who approached the City in December 2000 documenting proposed extensions to both golf course buildings. As the City had been in discussion with golfing patrons and clubs, it was agreed by all parties that a formal needs assessment should be undertaken to determine future and current user requirements.

The purpose of this assessment is to determine the need, if any, to improve facilities at either / or facility. This assessment has been compiled by the City’s Leisure and Cultural Services team.

2.0 Executive Summary

More so than most sports, golf courses and related facilities are spreading throughout cities, towns and urban fringe areas making large impacts on the geography of Australia. The popularity of golf continues to climb with 1999 ABS statistics placing golf as the most popular activity among Australian males and fourth overall behind walking swimming and aerobics. The ABS figures indicated that golf participation throughout Australia increased by 210,000 from 1997 to 1999 to over 1.33 million people participating yearly.

Whilst golf participation grows, course managers and owners need to assess what impact additional courses and other trends in leisure participation will have on existing facilities. The increased competition for the leisure dollar and emphasis on inclusive rather than exclusive participation will adversely effect the nature of facilities and services that are provided.

This emphasis will place increased pressures on course managers and course providers to adapt facilities and programs to meet the shifting leisure demands.

The City of Wanneroo as owners of two public golf courses are directly effected highlighted by the fact that 3 private and 1 National Park golf course exist within its boundaries and as many as 6 other private and public courses are located in adjoining local government authorities. It should also be noted that the City has plans to provide an additional public golf course at Tamala Park as part of the amended District Structure Plan 2 in the near future.

To address these issues the City continually reviews its operations and management practices at its golf courses. To ascertain the requirements of existing users, this assessment has based its recommendations on numerous meetings with Duncan and Crosbie, community representatives from existing golf clubs and an assessment of comparative golf course facilities. Telephone interviews have also been conducted with course professionals operating public golf courses in the Perth metropolitan area and research in to trends in golf participation throughout Australia.

Facility Options

The results indicated that whilst both facilities satisfy basic consumer requirements, their is a need to make several upgrades to improve functionality and the aesthetics of both facilities. Evidence indicates that a basic requirement for an enclosed undercover area be provided at both golf courses to enable course patrons, clubs and groups access to appropriate activity and function areas.

Further evidence highlighted that provision of such a multi use area would meet the existing and future needs of attendees at both golf courses. Whilst undercover areas already exist at both Marangaroo and Carramar clubhouses, each area is open to the elements, ie. not enclosed from weather conditions, which does not promote maximum utilisation to the benefit of players and clubs. By providing weather / seasonal control to the existing undercover areas, the City will be able to satisfy the basic requirements of all concerned.

This priority upgrade would see existing undercover areas fully enclosed with roof, wall and door infrastructures. The existing location and size of both sites appears adequate however further technical input into structural capabilities and supply of services is required.

Whilst this undercover area is seen as a basic requirement for clubs and players, the existing facilities provide limitations to course management requirements. The provision of an additional storage area at Carramar and increasing the size of the office, pro shop and storage at Marangaroo are seen as the minimum requirement to satisfy the course managers commercial operations at both courses.

It would be recommended that further consultation with the existing managers and the community be undertaken through the design development phase to identify specific requirements in each facility. As identified, the key space considerations in priority order are:

Marangaroo Clubhouse

Enclose undercover area.

Increased size of toilet / change room

Additional Storage / Workshop area

Increased size of Pro Shop.

Carramar Clubhouse

Enclose undercover area.

Increase existing storage facility

Funding Options

In planning the proposed facilities, the City will need to explore potential funding opportunities. Funding options include the Department of Sport and Recreation Community Sport and Recreation Facility Fund with yearly applications due for submission in October of each year. Irrespective Council will need to consider allocating funds for provision of the abovementioned facilities in the 2002/03 Budget.

The ability to reach an agreement on funding will ultimately determine to what extent works will be undertaken. As the requirements for each facility is either a community requirement (undercover area) or an operational requirement, each priority should be treated and subsequently funded accordingly.

3.0 Recommendations

3.1 Provision of additional facilities at Marangaroo golf course

Recommendation 3.1.1: That the City considers the provision of additional facilities at Marangaroo Golf Course. The design of the facility should provide for the following spaces:

· Enclose undercover area.

· Increased size of toilet / change room

· Additional Storage / Workshop area

· Increased size of Pro Shop.

3 2: Provision of additional facilities at Carramar golf course

Recommendation 3.2.1: That the City considers the provision of additional facilities at Carramar Golf Course. The design of the facility should provide for the following spaces:

· Enclose existing outdoor seating area

· Increase existing storage areas

In both cases the costs associated with works will decide to what extent work will be undertaken.

4.0 Study Brief

The aim of this study was to investigate the need for improved community facilities at Carramar and Marangaroo golf course.

Specific objectives were to:

· Assess existing facilities

· Identify current and future requirements for patrons and Clubs

· Compare other ‘like’ golf course facilities in the Perth metropolitan area

· Analyse the information gathered and establish priorities for proposed extensions.

5.0 Methodology

In order to fulfill the aims of the study the following tasks were completed:

· Develop an inventory of existing facilities

· Consult with the community to identify current and future requirements for facility / service provision.

· Conduct interviews with representatives of Clubs located at Carramar and Marangaroo.

· Conduct interviews with golf professionals in the Perth metropolitan area

· Consider the nature of facilities provided at similar golf courses across the Perth metropolitan area.

Review current trends and research.

Analyse all the information gathered and provide Council with a clear direction in regard to provision of additional facilities in priority order at both Courses.

6.0 Existing Facilities at Golf Courses

A review of existing facilities at both Carramar and Marangaroo golf courses identified the following related to each course:

Carramar opened in 1994. The facility consists:

· Pro Shop,

· Kiosk,

· small undercover areas,

· administration offices,

· storage room

· workshop

· equipment hire storeroom

· Male toilet /change room consisting 2 toilets , 3 wash basins and 2 showers

· Female toilet / change room consisting 4 toilets, 3 wash basins and 2 showers; and

· Unisex disabled toilet with wash basin

The Carramar Clubhouse has received no upgrades since its inception.

Marangaroo opened in March 1988. The facility consists:

· Pro Shop,

· Kiosk,

· small undercover areas,

· administration offices,

· storage rooms and

· equipment room

· Male toilet /change room consisting 2 toilets , 2 wash basins and 2 showers

· Female toilet / change room consisting 3 toilets, 2 wash basins and 2 showers; and

· Unisex disabled toilet with wash basin

The clubhouse has received a minor upgrade to the counter area, enlarged to accommodate the increase in staff numbers. This was constructed and financed by the current Course managers. The City has previously attempted to provide protection to the undercover area however this proved ineffective. Gates that were erected to provide wind protection have since been removed.

7.0 Course Trends and Utilisation Figures

The City has enjoyed continued success in attracting players to both of its facilities. A combination of aggressive marketing by existing managers, improved course maintenance, course location in relation to competitors and relative low fees are primarily responsible for the result. It is anticipated that continual population growth within the region will have a positive impact on course attendance figures in the future.

The attendance at the City’s two courses is reflected Australia wide. The Australian Sports Commission description of organised sport and physical activity participation identified that golf is the second most popular organised sport in Australia. A combination of increased promotional messages relating to a healthy lifestyle, improved access and equity in facilities and attitude, and a changing social perception as to appropriate age and sex behaviour has combined to make golf a popular Australian pastime.

It should also be noted that increased exposure through television and print media has enhanced the prominence of golf on the Australian sporting scene. The success of male and female Australian golfers at home and abroad has enforced that players are significant role models in Australian Society.

With all of these considerations in mind, course attendance figures have reached a level that has seen relatively no change over the past three years. The commencement of the GST in July 2000 and minor fee increases over the last three years appear to have had little or no impact to player attendance figures as indicated in the table below:

Attendance Figures 1998-2001

As illustrated, whilst Carramar is the newest course and offers a resort style standard facility, Marangaroo continues to reflect a higher attendance figure. This can be attributed to the low green fee cost, location of the course and high course standard that Marangaroo offers. In the 13 years that Marangaroo has been in operation, the highest yearly attendance figure reached was 115,000 people.

In comparison with other similar public golf courses, both of the City’s courses compare favorably in attendance as illustrated below:

In addition, each course is well supported by a number of regular golf Clubs. These include

Carramar Marangaroo

Over 40s Northern Suburbs Vets

Ladies Blue Jays Marangaroo Ladies

Rover 60s Marangaroo Seniors Club

Evergreens

Masonic

Carramar Seniors

Carramar Social

8.0 Public Course Facilities Inventory

To assess the type of facility that may suit community requirements, it is useful to look at facilities provided on public courses that were designed for similar purposes. To provide a comparison, Leisure and Cultural Services undertook a facilities audit.

Analysis is presented in the table below:

Name	Holes	Toilets/ Change room	Function Room	Bar	Kiosk	Outdoor Undercover Area	BBQ
Hammersly	18 holes	a	a	a	a		a
Collier Park	27 Holes	a	a	a	a	a
Pt Walter	9 Holes	a			a	a
Wembly	36 Holes	a	a	a	a	a
Sea View	18 Holes	a	a	a	a		a
Whaleback	18 Holes	a	a	a	a	a	a
Peninsula	18 Holes	a	a	a	a	a

The information highlighted that each facility varies in the type of services that they offer. It should also be noted that several Clubhouses have or are in the process of undergoing refurbishment to cater for the growing demands of clubs and players. A brief summary includes:

The Collier Park clubhouse (City of South Perth) has undergone a major redevelopment over the past 2 years with the extension to the facilities of a stand-alone function/bar facility. The previous undercover seating has been replaced with open umbrella style cover with patrons seeking shelter being able to access the function room. This facility, serviced by tables, chairs, kiosk and fully enclosed with windows is now the location for Club activities.

The Wembley clubhouse (Town of Cambridge) has been designed to separate course operations from the function/bar facility. Separating the two buildings is a walkway that has the ability to be fully enclosed through sliding glass doors that offers protection from weather conditions and safety from course activities. The area is serviced by the kiosk, toilets and change rooms. The function / bar facility is separately operated and is the principle location for Club activities.

The Whaleback golf course (City of Gosnells) is in the process of undertaking a major refurbishment to include bistro and a day/night driving range. This proposed extension was negotiated at the time of lease renewal with extensions to be partially funded by Course managers.

The Peninsula golf course (City of Bayswater) is looking to provide increased change room space in the next twelve months with the on course facility receiving a major face lift 3 years ago.

The Point Walter clubhouse (City of Melville) is due to be demolished in August 2001. The City has built a new facility consisting pro shop, kiosk/bar, function room that encircles a large high-pitched roof that provides an undercover area. The positioning of this facility is such that course operations will become easier as the new facility overlooks the 1^st Tee. Of note is the fact that this course only consists of 9 holes.

9.0 Consultative Process

In order to investigate the needs of the community in regards to facilities, a broad cross section of community representatives were interviewed in July 2001. These include representatives from the following Clubs;

Ladies BlueJays Marilyn Tyler

Marangaroo Ladies Helen Halliday

Marangaroo Seniors Club Gordon Hefernan

Evergreens Dennis Harwood

Masonic Alan Cragge

Carramar Seniors Fred Smith

Carramar Social Jim Drysdale

The following phone interviews were also conducted:

· Penninsula Golf Course – Tony

· WhaleBack Golf Course – Peter Hopkins

· Collier Park Golf Course – Geoff

· Burswood Golf Park – Brian Wishart

Similarly, City Officers met with Duncan and Crosbie in June 2001 to discuss proposed extensions. Technical drawings were submitted as part of this assessment at this time. These are included as Appendix 1.

In order to ascertain the current facility requirements of players, informal interviews were conducted at each course.. A total of 35 players were surveyed.

10.0 Summary of Information Gathered

The results of all consultations were documented and the information analysed. In general, three questions were asked. These were

· What facilities at the course do you currently use?

· What attracts you to participate at this golf course?

A. Marangaroo

· Larger change room space

· Place to lock up clothes and get changed

· Enclose the undercover area to protect from the wind and rain

· More hooks in the change room

11.0 Analysis of Information Gathered

The basic requirement of any community group is a place to meet, to socialise, develop a sense of identity, participate in common interests and build a community spirit. As such, any improvements to each facility would assist to satisfy such requirements. By providing an area that Clubs are able to develop and socialise the City is able to enhance participation and involvement, provide a flexibility to meet changing community needs and provide a high quality recreation and sporting facility.

The facilities being provided at both of the City’s golf courses are not as advanced as those being provided at similar local government courses, particularly considering that the attendance figures place each course amongst the most popular. It appears that each local government has or has planned to improve its facility.

The increasingly competitive golfing market is such that the City will need to safe guard against losing attendees by continuing to provide facilities that attract players to the course. Facilities at each golf course are seen as a by-product of the golfing experience and thus form an integral part to marketing the courses use.

Another derivative of golf course use is the issue of bar facilities. An analysis of other local government golf course facilities highlighted that the majority have a facility that provided or was capable of providing bar services. Whilst this is a common service, no reference to the need for such a facility was reported as part of this assessment. Furthermore, discussions with other course operators indicated that alcohol at golf courses was becoming increasingly less common due to reduced drink driving limits. In the case where bar facilities appeared to be successful, each facility was operated as a separate business to the course operations and available to the public at times when the course was not accessible. ie In the evening when the course closes.

At this point, it is worth noting that a distinct determination needs to be made between facilities that enhance community spirit and involvement and those that will assist with management of business and course operations. It is for these reasons that the priority for the City should be to enhance community involvement in the facility.

11.1 Community Facilities

The community consultation and discussions with current golf professionals highlighted that each facility has different requirements to upgrade and as such each should be treated for its unique situation.

11.1.1 Carramar Golf Course

This is currently the only public sporting facility in Carramar. The course attracts 80,000 players to its facilities per year. The course has a strong representation of social club golfers who require a certain type of facility to conduct club activities on a regular basis. Similarly the public are seeking a facility that will be capable of catering for the demands of the public golfer.

The opportunity exists to satisfy all parties concerned by providing an enclosed undercover area. This space would become home to the club golfers whilst offering an area removed from weather conditions.

Evidence also suggests that the existing toilet and change room appears to suffice in terms of size and function and does not need upgrading.

11.1.2 Marangaroo Golf Course

This facility is not dissimilar to Carramar. The existing undercover area does not promote maximum use of the area as it is not enclosed. Social golf clubs are seeking an area that allows for weekly meetings and functions and also allows memorabilia and honour boards to be displayed. Players surveyed also indicated that the area currently being used was not large enough to accommodate the numbers that the course caters for during the summer months.

The toilet / change rooms at Marangaroo do not appear to accommodate for player requirements due to the lack of bench space, hooks and storage space.

11.2 Commercial Operations

The addition to any pro shop and office area is obviously to the benefit of course professionals and will greatly assist business through increased floor space to conduct trade.

Golf courses in recent times have seen a change to services being provided to enhance consumer enjoyment of golf. One such change has seen the growing demand for motorised carts on courses. This is partly due to an aging population who require carts for mobility and by the resort style courses that have educated the public that it is more relaxing, faster and easier to play, particularly in adverse weather conditions. This has certainly proved correct as carts currently provided by Course Managers are always booked out in these conditions and help to boost player numbers on such days.

Private courses such as Joondalup and the Vines have a fleet of over 60 golf carts. Public courses such as Collier Park and Burswood have 30 carts with plans to increase. Hamersley does not have any because of lack of storage space and the Penninsula course has 6 but is also limited by space but have plans to increase. The result of increased motor carts has seen an increased need for storage. Currently the Course Managers offer 8 carts at Carramar and 4 carts at Marangaroo. The increase of carts on any course presents maintenance issues but through correct management of their use, the use of carts should be encouraged.

A need also exists for greater storage to hold trading stock at both courses. The rising cost of labour has placed increased pressures on business to increase sales. The cost for green fee collection and course management at the City of Wanneroo courses is offset by the ability of the Course managers to retail successfully. The current facilities at both courses limit the ability to do this. Any increased storage area helps offset costs, which ultimately improves costs of services to consumers on course.

The kiosk in the height of summer is also in need of extra storage to cater for demand.

12.0 Priorities for Future Development

The following upgrades to facilities have been identified as priorities for future development at each course

12.1 Carramar

The immediate priority to cater for community need is to enclose the undercover area. Operational requirements are such that additional storage area is required .

12.2 Marangaroo

The immediate priority to cater for the community need is to enclose the undercover area and increase size of the change room / toilet. Operational requirements include increasing the size of the pro shop, storage areas and office space.

Issue

Consideration of community requests for donations and the waiver of fees and charges for December 2001.

Background

Consideration of requests for donations and the waiver of fees and charges are at present undertaken on an individual merit basis.

In order to provide Council with the necessary information to determine each application, and an overall view of the impact of these allocations on the budget, a report is normally prepared considering all applications for each Council meeting.

Detail

During this period, the City has received three applications in this area. These applications have been received from;

· The Australian Breastfeeding Association

· The Fauna Rehabilitation Foundation Inc.

· Wanneroo Senior Citizens Club Inc.

Each of these applications is summarised on the following pages, along with an assessment and recommendation. Letters of application from each organisation are attached.

Wanneroo Senior Citizens Club

$214.50 being the waiver of fees and charges associated with a New Year’s Eve Function

APPROVE: $214.50

Council should be aware however that a waiver for essentially a social event may create a situation where the City receives numerous applications of this nature, meaning that a significant portion of the donations budget is expended on these types of events each year.

It also has the potential to create a level of inequality amongst access to facility provisions for community groups and organisations, particularly if certain applications are approved and other not supported.

A waiver of fees for the Wanneroo Seniors Clubs’ New Year’s Eve function has been recommended in this report as a one off gesture in recognition of the valuable community service provided by this organisation for a range of seniors.

Issue

To enter into an agreement with AlintaGas for the supply of natural gas to Aquamotion.

Background

The National Third Party Access Code for Natural Gas Pipeline Systems was implemented in Western Australia in February 1999, providing for rights of access to natural gas pipeline systems of significance on conditions that are fair and reasonable to both the pipeline owners and users.

The objective of the Code is to establish a framework for third party access to gas pipelines that:

· facilitates the development and operation of a national market for natural gas;

· prevents abuse of monopoly power;

· promotes a competitive market for natural gas in which customers may choose suppliers, including producers, retailers and traders;

· provides rights of access to natural gas pipelines on conditions that are fair and reasonable for both Service Providers and Users; and

· provides for resolution of disputes.

The timetable for open access to the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) and AlintaGas' Mid and South West distribution systems, for delivery via a customer's single metered connection is outlined in the following table.

Effective Date	Annual Gas Volume Consumed
01 Jan 2000	At least 100 TJ
01 Jan 2002	At least 1 TJ
01 July 2002	Any amount

As Aquamotion uses approximately 5 terajoules (or 5,000 gigajoules) of natural gas per annum, we are able to access our natural gas supplies from alternate suppliers from 1^st January 2002.

Detail

As stated, Aquamotion currently consumes approximately 5,000 gigajoules (GJ) of gas per annum.

The current gas price is $13.94 per GJ, which equates to approximately $70,000 per annum.

The City has been approached by AlintaGas who have offered a reduced rate for our gas supplies subject to the City entering into a Gas Supply Agreement with AlintaGas for a three (3) year period.

The price offered by AlintaGas is:

Daily charge of $20.00 x 365 days = $ 7,300

Rate $9.95 per GJ x approx 5,000GJ = $49,750 total $57,050

Consultation

Nil

Comment

As of 1^st January 2002 Council will be able to call tenders from different suppliers for our Natural Gas supplies for Aquamotion.

City Administration recommends that we accept the offer from AlintaGas for the following reasons:

· 5,000GJ of gas per annum does not represent a level of consumption that is going to generate interest from new suppliers in the early stages of deregulation,

· AlintaGas have consistently provided a quality service

· Security of supply is of paramount importance as Aquamotion is a public facility

· AlintaGas have high service standards, and

· AlintaGas are experienced in supplying our gas needs.

Statutory Compliance

The local government Functions & General regulations do not require the calling of public tenders for supplies from the Government of the State or any of its agencies. AlintaGas is currently an agent of the State government.

Strategic Implications

Nil

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The contract price offered by AlintaGas represents a significant saving to Council. The annual cost for the supply of natural gas for Aquamotion will reduce from approximately $70,000 to $57,000.

Voting Requirements

Simple Majority

Recommendation

That Council ENTERS into a Gas Supply Agreement with AlintaGas for the supply of natural gas to Aquamotion, for a three (3) year term commencing 1^st January 2002, at the contract rate of $9.95 per gigajoule plus a $20 daily charge.

Issue

This report seeks to outline the process of community consultation with regard to the proposal to build a permanent skate facility in Charnwood Reserve Two Rocks, and to seek Council endorsement for the type and location of the facility to be constructed.

Background

At the full Council meeting of 11 July 2000 a report was tabled to address the BMX, skating and skateboarding recreational needs of young people in the Yanchep, Two Rocks and St Andrews communities (report W200-07/00 refers).

Council resolved the following:

That Council:-

1. ENDORSE the concept of the development of a mobile skating and riding facility to service the Yanchep, Two Rocks and St Andrews communities in response to the recent petition and requests for facilities and venues in this area.

2. ENDORSE the pursuance of grants from government and community organisations for the development of a mobile skating and BMX riding facility to service the suburbs of Yanchep, Two Rocks and St Andrews.

3. LIST for consideration, in the draft budget 2000/2001, the amount of $7700 (previously under consideration for the construction of a dirt mounded BMX track in St Andrews Park) as a Council contribution towards the development of a mobile skating and BMX riding facility.

4. NOTE the development of a set of standards for leisure and recreational facilities in local, district and regional parks scheduled for the 2000/2001 financial year, which will assist in forward planning for permanent facilities.

5. CONSULT with key stakeholders including young people, local businesses and all community groups, regarding:

· • The design of ramp facilities.

· • Their storage and location.

· • Their availability for use by community groups and organisations.

6. OFFER the mobile facility as an immediate temporary solution to the recreation issues in the region and not as a replacement for a permanent facility.

7. PURSUES the establishment of a permanent facility in conjunction with the various community groups.

After endorsement of the above recommendations, the Yanchep Two Rocks Skate Facility Working Party (consisting of young people from Yanchep and St Andrews, parents and community representatives) and Administration continued to work towards meeting these objectives.

At the Thursday 16 August 2001 meeting of the Working Group a substantial change in focus and future directions was supported and resulted in a report for consideration by Council at its meeting of 25 September 2001 (Report CD09 – 09/01 refers).

As a result of this report Council resolved the following:

That Council:

1. NOTES the ongoing work of the Yanchep Two Rocks Skate Facility Working Party.

2. NOTES, for the purposes of public consultation, the proposed change in focus of this Working Party, from a mobile skate facility to a permanent skate facility to be situated on Charnwood Reserve Two Rocks, adjacent to the Phil Renkin Centre.

3. ENDORSES a community consultation strategy to assess this proposal, including:

· Advertising, in local and regional newspapers, a 28 day public comment period regarding the proposal.

· Distribution of a letter outlining the proposal, to surrounding and adjoining residents of the Phil Renkin Centre.

· A public meeting to be held at a local community facility during the 28 day public comment period.

4. NOTES that a report regarding the results of community consultation be presented to Council for the December 2001 meeting.

5. SEEKS additional funding from the Ministry of Sport and Recreation and lodge a Safer WA Grant application.

The community consultation process took place from 1 November 2001 to 28 November 2001.

Detail

A number of strategies were utilised to consult with the community on the type and location of facility to be constructed. In order to stimulate debate and provide a framework for comments, two design concepts were presented for discussion.

One design concept (Attachment 1) proposed that a semi-permanent facility be constructed on an existing surface (outdoor basketball court) similar to those facilities already in operation at the Wanneroo Showgrounds and in Quinns Rocks.

The second design (Attachment 1) was proposed to be located in the southwestern corner of Charnwood Reserve and would be a permanent facility constructed from concrete, in a similar design to the facility located next to the Clarkson Youth Centre.

A second stage “skate trail” was also incorporated in the plan to gauge community interest.

The community was also asked to put forward any ideas on the type and location of the facility that were not included within the two concept designs.

Consultation

A comprehensive program of community consultation was undertaken in relation to the development of the final proposal contained in this report. A number of strategies were utilised to ensure that the community was aware of the opportunity to have input into the development of a permanent skate facility, and this is reflected in the high number of returns received from both the mail out of comment forms, and through other avenues. The process followed is outlined below.

On 1 November 2001 signs were erected in strategic locations around Charnwood Reserve. These signs contained information on the proposed facility, including where initial concept designs could be viewed, the date and location of a public meeting to discuss the issue, and the address to which written comments and feedback could be sent.

Advertisements were placed in the Sun City News and the Wanneroo Times of the week beginning 5 November 2001, again containing information on where concept designs could be viewed, the date and location of a public meeting, and the address for written submissions.

Additionally, copies of the concept design and a form on which feedback could be provided (Attachment 2) were sent to all households within an 800-metre radius of Charnwood Reserve. Members of the Working Party delivered these forms. The forms also contained information on the date, time and location of a public meeting.

Design concept plans were located within the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre and the Yanchep Community Centre. It should be noted that these concepts were presented to provide a basis for discussion, and were not presented as the only options available to the community. The feedback forms provided did ask which of the options presented was preferred, but also asked if there was another proposal that the community would like that was not contained within the concept designs. The displays in the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre and the Yanchep Community Centre also asked the community to put forward any alternative ideas that they had that were not contained within the concept designs. During the public meeting outlined below, it was also stressed that the community could put forward alternative options to those presented.

A public meeting was held on 14 November at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre. This meeting was well attended, with approximately 50 members of the local community present, and this would indicate that the communication strategies employed to advertise this meeting were successful. The meeting was facilitated by a staff member of the Community Development Directorate and was also attended by the two Ward Councillors. Notes were made during this meeting (attachment 3) and attendees encouraged to complete questionnaires related to the proposed facility.

The Working Group was also consulted throughout this process, with their feedback being gained on the proposals through a separate meeting with administration staff and through the public meeting.

In all the community consultation period ran for 28 days, from 1 November to 28 November 2001. The number of responses received from the community (approximately 124) and the attendance at the public meeting was pleasing. The results obtained from the surveys are listed in the table below.

Comment

There is considerable community support for the construction of a permanent skate facility within Charnwood Reserve. Community debate revolved largely around the exact type and location of the proposed facility within Charnwood Reserve, although some residents did oppose the construction of a facility on Charnwood Reserve and preferred to see it constructed elsewhere. Suggestions included near to Leeman’s Landing, in the Yanchep town site or a site north of the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre.

Residents who opposed the construction of a facility did so mainly due to the following concerns:

1. The occurrence of anti-social behaviour and significant noise levels

2. The effect a facility may have on fauna located at the Reserve

3. Loss of amenity of Charnwood Reserve

4. Issues of ongoing maintenance and supervision

5. Saw other issues as having priority

The City also received a petition signed by 8 residents (representing 5 residences) whose homes are close to Charnwood Reserve. The signatories stated that they “emphatically object to the proposed permanent skate facility being constructed anywhere on Charnwood Reserve”. The main reasons given for this are similar to those outlined above, including concerns about the loss of enjoyment of surrounding amenities, concerns about fauna currently using the Reserve and that such activities as skate boarding should not be forced on residents by virtue of their proximity to a facility.

However, as previously noted, there was an extremely high level of general support for a facility to be constructed and in relation to the above, some comment can be made.

With regard to the issue of anti-social behaviour, the creation of space for young people is an extremely important tool in combating such behaviour. The creation of a skate facility for young people has the potential to provide an area over which young people have a sense of ownership and pride and can promote positive community citizenship. Indeed, many skate facilities have exactly this effect, and can provide a number of opportunities for young people to explore their role in the community. For example, a skate facility may provide a focus for a skate club, organised and run by young people, with competitions and meetings overseen by a management committee comprised of young people. Such a program offers the opportunity to learn organisational skills, to understand how committees work, and to allow involvement within the local community.

The location of the facility would have an extremely important role to play in ensuring that noise levels are reduced, and this issue is discussed later in this report.

The construction of a skate facility on the Reserve is unlikely to have a major impact on fauna (comments received from the public were mainly in relation to migratory birds) as it would only comprise a small section of the total Reserve. There would still be large areas of the Reserve available to local fauna, and the facility would have no more impact in this context than the construction of the existing basketball courts, for example. Again, location is an important issue here.

Certainly issues of maintenance and supervision are important and must be considered. However, the experience of the City with regard to other such facilities have shown that they can be maintained to a reasonable standard and the construction of such a facility allows for young people to have a focus. This in turn facilitates supervision requirements and allows the City’s Youth Development Officers to mix with young people in a suitable environment.

Due to the diverse nature of people living within the local area, conflicting priorities will always be an issue in terms of development. However, there has been a very high level of support for the construction of a skate facility and this certainly indicates most residents would see the construction of facilities for young people as a very important issue.

As previously noted, most debate centred around the exact location of a proposed facility within Charnwood Reserve, and the type of construction used in the building of the facility. Comments are outlined under the respective headings below.

Location

Two suggested locations were provided for public comment in order to stimulate debate. Residents were also encouraged to make any other suggestions about location not canvassed in the two options provided. The two suggested locations were:

1. A semi-permanent facility constructed on the existing basketball courts

2. A concrete structure constructed in the southwestern corner of the Reserve

Location (1)

The community held some concerns about the construction of a facility on the existing basketball courts. Many saw it as a step backwards in that this location involved the loss of one facility in favour of another. Some residents commented that there was a lack of facilities already in the area, and to lose the basketball courts was not a feasible option.

The courts are apparently utilised in summer every Monday night for basketball training in summer, and on an occasional basis by young people in the area. Others felt that the courts were “hidden” and not easily visible, thus increasing the chance of anti-social behaviour occurring. Additionally, some people held concerns that those using a skate facility would damage the recently constructed Federation Walkway and sculpture, due to its proximity.

Of those who favoured this particular location, many commented that it was away from most residents and that the basketball court was seldom used. Others felt that it presented a more cost effective option and favoured the facility being located close to the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre. The location’s proximity to existing parking facilities was also seen as a positive. Many of those in favour of this location felt that visibility would be good, and that this would assist in the prevention of anti-social behaviour.

It is pertinent to note that many favoured this location largely due to the cost effective nature of the proposal. That is, it was not so much the location that was favoured, but that fewer resources were required to construct a semi-permanent facility.

Location (2)

Again, the community held some concerns about this particular location. Many, particularly residents whose homes were close to this proposed location, felt that such a facility would have an adverse impact on their enjoyment of surrounding amenities. Those against this location commented that they had purchased homes in the area because it was quiet and overlooked green space. They felt that the construction of a skate facility in this area would compromise their enjoyment of living in the area. Others felt that because the location was in a natural dip in the Reserve, that these natural contours would compromise the ability of the facility to be observed, and as such would lead to occurrences of anti-social behaviour. Additional concerns included the fact that many people use this area as a recreational area and that migratory birds used the trees in the area. Concerns over noise were also voiced.

Of those who favoured this location, many did so because it was located away from the library and allowed for the continued use of the existing basketball courts. Others felt that because it was relatively close to the road, the location would provide good visibility. Additionally, the existing contours and trees would provide some protection from the elements and the change rooms that are currently under used could be utilised.

Again, it is pertinent to note that many favoured this location due to the style of construction. Thus, it would appear it was less the location that was favoured here, and more the style of construction.

Other Locations

Respondents to the community consultation process suggested other locations. These included:

1. On the beachfront, between the harbour and Leeman’s Landing

2. A site north of the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre

3. A more central location on Charnwood Reserve

4. Situated in the northwestern corner of the Reserve, between the oval and the road

5. Located on the reserve in Cassilda Way Two Rocks

6. Located in Yanchep

Of the above, many people expressed a preference for the proposed facility to be located in the northwestern corner of the Reserve, between the oval and the road. Reasons given were that it was a highly visible area, it did not impact on the existing basketball facilities, it was located away from residents and near to existing car park facilities.

Locating the facility to the west of existing change rooms and north of the oval (indicated on Attachment 1), at a high point on the reserve, would appear to be a compromise that meets many of the concerns relevant to the other proposed locations. The benefits of this location are:

1. Highly visible

2. Away from existing residences

3. Near toilet/drinking facilities

4. Can utilise existing car park

5. Reduces potential for damage to occur to existing facilities such as the Federation Walkway

6. Situated on area of Reserve not currently utilised for any activities

Concerns about this location include:

1. The removal of some immature trees

2. Some residents did not wish a facility to be constructed anywhere on the Reserve

Style of Construction

In order to provide a framework and basis of discussion, two styles of construction were incorporated into the proposed designs. The community was also asked to provide ideas as to any other construction styles that may be favoured. The two construction styles contained within the concept designs were:

1. A Quinns Rocks/Wanneroo style facility – semi-permanent, constructed of steel and plywood

2. A Clarkson style facility, with concrete bowl, constructed of concrete

Construction Style (1)

Many people favoured this option as it presented the most cost effective style of construction. Some of those in favour commented that a semi-permanent facility would allow for the facility to be altered or moved should it be required, and was therefore a more flexible option.

Of those who were not in favour of this option, many commented that such a facility would not do justice to the requirements of young people. Concerns were expressed about the build up of rubbish underneath such structures and that they were aesthetically undesirable. Potential users of the facility commented that such designs did not give them as much scope in terms of use and were not of the same quality as other styles of construction.

Construction Style (2)

Many of those opposed to this option felt it was too expensive. Others felt that it would create an eye sore and was not flexible enough to adapt to changing needs.

Of those who favoured this option many commented that this more permanent style of facility was the one best suited to the needs of skaters and BMX riders alike, and would provide a higher class of facility than offered by construction style (1). Many saw this construction style as “doing it right the first time” and felt that it would reduce maintenance costs in the long term. Others felt it provided a safer option for users and that it presented a more “professional” style facility for users. Other comments included that this style would be more aesthetically pleasing, would reduce noise because it is surrounded by earth, and that concrete would provide a smoother ride for users.

As previously mentioned, some indicated a preference for this style of facility because of its location.

Other Construction Styles

Notably, one other construction style received a high level of support (25% of all responses). Those who indicated they wished the facility to be constructed in this manner referred to this style of construction as “skate lego”. Skate lego is essentially a modular style of construction that allows for different configurations. Thus the system is inherently flexible and can be changed to meet the changing demands of users of the facility. It should be noted that, whilst the configuration of the construction can change, this would involve considerable resources, such as the use of heavy machinery and an appropriate amount of support staff.

A number of forms were returned suggesting the construction of a facility utilising skate lego, to be located close to the road. Unfortunately, no other details on location other than “close to the road” were provided.

Other Comments

Many members of the Working Group, as well as other respondents to the consultation phase, indicated that they thought the provision of fencing and parking was a waste of resources. They commented that they did not feel that fencing or additional parking was necessary and that these items should form part of a second stage, if constructed at all.

Conclusion

It is evident from the consultation process that there is a broad range of opinion in relation to the development of a permanent skate facility on Charnwood Reserve. Whilst the development of such a facility does have a high level of general support, many of those likely to be most effected by the facility are in opposition to it being located on Charnwood Reserve.

For those who do support such a facility, there again is a wide range of opinions on what type of facility should be built and where on Charnwood Reserve it should be located.

In the development of this facility, it will not be possible to ensure everyone will support the final design and location. However, it would appear that most respondents favoured a facility being constructed, and of these, most supported a concrete style facility being constructed in a central location on Charnwood Reserve.

Interestingly, a facility has recently been constructed in another local government area that makes use both of a concrete structure and the skate lego. Ongoing consultation with the Working Party may result in such a compromise of construction styles.

It is apparent that community focus is on getting the facility underway, thus it is recommended that project staging be considered in the context of funds available for overall construction.

Statutory Compliance

It would appear that fencing is not required from a statutory point of view. At best, the provision of fencing delineates the skate park area and through this serves to manage the risk factor of people entering the skate area unawares.

It is recommended that the provision of fencing be investigated in the context of the final construction style and after the completion of a risk audit of the individual facility.

Strategic Implications

The creation of space for young people is an important issue in the development of local communities.

Policy Implications

Nil.

Financial Implications

Council has previously considered the reallocation of existing funds in order to assist with the construction of a skate facility (Report CD09 – 09/01 refers).

Budget Reallocation

The proposed budget reallocation relates to reassignment of approved carryovers from the 2000/01 capital budget. Project 1560 Skate Facilities – is a $37,607.00 carryover of funds for the development of skating facilities for the Girrawheen area. Reallocation of these funds would be congruent with the original intent of funding, albeit in a different location.

It is felt that the needs of youth in the Girrawheen area will be substantially met with the $1.344M commitment over the next two years towards the proposed Hainsworth Leisure Centre Redevelopment.

Project 1563 BMX Track – is a $7,700.00 approved carryover of funds to contribute towards the development of a mobile skate facility in the region (report W200-07/00 refers).

Thus, a total of $45,307.00 in Council funds has been tentatively earmarked for this project.

This budget allocation would support the construction of a permanent facility catering to the basic to intermediate needs of skaters and BMX riders, under various construction options (ie. concrete or fabricated/semi permanent constructed methods).

Other Funding Options

Council has previously resolved that funding be sought from Safer WA to assist in the construction of a permanent skate facility (Report CD09 – 09/01 refers). Depending on the style of construction funding support may be needed for a staged development process.

As previously noted, many members of the Working Group, as well as some respondents to the consultation, have indicated that they feel the provision of fencing and parking is a waste of money, and that these dollars should be directed into the construction of the facility itself.

Should it be determined that fencing is not required from a legal or liability standpoint, this may well free up considerable resources, and reduce the amount of external funding required.

Issue

Council endorsement of the proposed Safer Citizens program of Community Events January – June 2002.

Background

Community Events are one of the core components of the City’s Safer Citizens Program.

Their principle objective is to provide the opportunity for local residents to reclaim ownership of their parks and public spaces and get to know their neighbours.

Outcomes from events are anticipated to include, in the long term;

· The establishment of parks and public spaces as areas where positive social activity occurs, as opposed to areas that are not utilised and become places with high levels of anti social activity and vandalism

· The development of social and community networks that enhance the concept of “neighbours looking out for one another” and reporting suspicious activity or disturbances

Existing budget arrangements allow the program to conduct twenty-one (21) community events each year, either on a stand-alone basis or combined with other community organisations and activities.

Detail

During the first half of the financial year (2001/2002), Safer Citizens has conducted or been involved in fifteen (15) community events that are summarised below.

In keeping with the program’s schedule of twenty-one (21) community events, a total of seven (7) events are proposed for the period from January – June 2002.

Seven events are proposed (as opposed to six) so that a replacement event can be provided in Wanneroo, which will allow for the cancellation of the Family Fun Day event planned for 9 September 2001.

Full details of proposed events are detailed below.

In determining this schedule, consideration has been given to a number of factors including;

· The need for events to be held in a wide range of suburbs and precincts throughout the City

· A combination of stand alone events and those held in conjunction with community groups and organisations

· The need for variety in the type of events provided, to attract a range of target markets and audiences

Consultation

Each community event operated under the Safer Citizens Program involves a variety of community consultation and involvement, dependent upon the nature of the event.

Processes utilised for events include:

· Liaison and involvement of community development organisations within subdivisions or estates where appropriate

· Invitations to community groups and organisations to be involved in each event, with either an information stand or fund raising activity

· The organisation of events in conjunction with peak community groups such as Safer WA local committees and Recreation and Residents Associations.

Comment

Given that the proposed community events program retains the overall objective of this component of Safer Citizens and:

· Provides a balanced distribution of events throughout the City

· Maintains a high level of community involvement in events

· Adds some variety to the Safer Citizens calender to attract new target markets and audiences

it is recommended that this program be endorsed.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

As Council is aware, the Safer Citizens Program is currently under review, with an extensive community consultation process due for completion in December 2001.

In the report to Council regarding the future of the program (expected in February 2002), community events held as part of the program will also be fully reviewed and evaluated.

Council’s commitment to a two year trial of Safer Citizens (resolution made 11 July 2000) does, however, necessitate the program’s operation until June 2002, creating the need for an events program until this time to be endorsed.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Council approved a budgetary allocation of $75,000 for Safer Citizens events in the 2001/2002 financial year.

This equates to a budget of approximately $3500 per community event.

Issue

The WA Sporting Car Club’s request to Council for a new temporary access to the Barbagallo Raceway from the south.

Background

The WA Sporting Car Club has secured the V8 Supercar Championship event to be held at Barbagallo Raceway in June 2002 and 2003. The land is Crown reserve vested in the City and leased to The Sporting Car Club WA for a term of 21 years expiring in 2022.

Holding the V8 Supercar Championship event at Barbagallo Raceway is subject to the WA Sporting Car Club completing all work outlined in the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) Triennial Track Safety Report and improving access to and from the Raceway.

The City has advised the WA Sporting Car Club that an Emergency Evacuation Plan needs to be provided prior to the V8 Supercar Championship event scheduled for June 2002. An alternative access road is required as part of this Plan.

Land Corp Proposals

LandCorp is currently preparing a revised draft Neerabup Industrial Area Structure Plan which is expected to be submitted to the City shortly. The Neerabup Industrial Area project objective is to develop a strategic general industrial estate to service the north-west corridor of the Perth Metropolitan Region. The Neerabup Industrial Area is also the preferred location for the establishment of a Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) plant, which will be the catalyst for development of the site.

At a meeting with LandCorp representatives on Friday 30^th November 2001 the City was advised that the development of the LVL project was subject to the finalisation of a State Agreement that is expected to be finalised by 14^th December 2001.

LandCorp’s current plans (subject to finalisation of State Agreement) is to construct an extension of Pederick Road to the west to Mather Drive on its current alignment, and construct an extension of Mather Drive to the north to the Pederick Road intersection.

These proposed roadworks to be undertaken by LandCorp are due to commence in April 2002 and be completed to limestone surface by June 2002. This will provide constructed road access to a point in Pt Lot 4 Flynn Drive (which is owned in freehold by the City) which is roughly midway between the southern boundary of Pt Lot 4 (at Flynn Drive) and its northern boundary which is the Barbagello Raceway reserve.

Detail

The WA Sporting Car Club wish to construct a limestone access to the Barbagallo Raceway from the newly constructed Mather Drive, through Part Lot 4 (City owned) on a north-south alignment, to the Raceway. This involves a road length of approximately 950 metres. The Club has also requested Council funding towards the cost of this road construction.

The WA Sporting Car Club has advised that in order to reduce the misuse of this proposed extension they will install locked boom gates at either end. It is proposed that this access only be used for emergency access and shuttle bus access, and not available for general public admittance. The City will need to determine the exact road/access alignment should permission be granted.

Advice from the WA Sporting Car Club is that they will require some type of alternative access prior to staging the 2002 event, in order to comply with conditions as set by the City and CAMS. The Club is therefore keen to proceed with this access option regardless of LandCorp’s construction timetable.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

Should LandCorp not proceed with road construction then the WA Sporting Car Club will require Council permission to access Mather Drive south of Pederick Road that is currently not constructed, in addition to their current request based on works proceeding (LandCorp).

The V8 Supercar Championships event attracts up to 50,000 people. There is no data available on how many people attend from within the City of Wanneroo or the Economic benefit to the City.

A request has been received for Council funding for the construction works. No budgetery provision has been made for these works.

Mather Drive Alignment

The Mather Drive road reserve veers off in a north-easterly direction from the point where it is currently constructed to. LandCorp has recently advised that in providing road access to the proposed LVL Plant site, it wishes to construct Mather Drive within this existing reserve. However, the structure planning work which has been undertaken to-date for LandCorp by Taylor Burrell consultants has envisaged that Mather Drive should continue in a direct northerly direction, rather than veer to the east. LandCorp has been advised that the City wishes to see Mather Drive constructed on an alignment which accords with the ultimate planning for the general area. This issue remains to be resolved.

Levels

An important component of the current structure planning study for this general area is to prepare a final levels plan (ie to show the levels which should apply following quarrying of the limestone and sand resources in the area). The work undertaken to-date by Taylor Burrell has assumed that there may be a significant reduction in levels in the northern part of Pt Lot 4 however these levels are now being reviewed. It will be important that in allowing construction of an access road to the Raceway through this area, adequate regard is given to the fact that the area may in the future be subject to levels change such that any road built now may be removed in the future.

It is understood that the construction of this road/access can only be a short term solution as the levels and road alignment proposed will mean that the road will need to be reconstructed in 3–5 years, in line with the future development of the estate.

Broader Traffic Management Issues

It will be pointless if emergency vehicles are able to exit the Raceway via the proposed access road, only to become trapped in congested roads immediately to the south (ie. the southern end of Mather Drive or Flynn Drive). A broader traffic management strategy will be necessary to ensure that an effective emergency vehicle access route will be able to be achieved.

Main Options

There are seen to be 3 main options available for an emergency access route (as shown on Attachment 1):

1. a road extending northwards of Mather Drive as proposed by the Club;

2. a connection to Wanneroo Road via Wattle Avenue;

3. a construction of Orchid Road from Pederick Road to the eastern edge of the Raceway reserve. (This option assumes that Mather Drive and Pederick Road extensions will be undertaken as part of the LVL project).

Option 1. has been discussed previously in this report.

Option 2. will be a long term solution but is not considered feasible in the short term because:

a) some of the land required is still in private ownership (owned by Cockburn Cement):

b) part of the alignment lies within Bush Forever Site 293 meaning that considerable time would be likely to be required to address the environmental issues involved.

Option 3. would be feasible and could offer the following advantages:

a) it is possible that there may be a much smaller change in levels in this eastern area, to the point that the road works could be used as part of the ultimate roadworks for the industrial estate;

b) it may offer the LVL Plant operations a further access route to their plant, if the road is connected through to Wattle Avenue;

c) it provides additional constructed road access to Loc 2692 which is land owned by this City and would be a possible alternative site for a future secondary waste treatment plant.

In summary, options 1. and 3. appear to be feasible options and the selection of the preferred option should ideally be undertaken once the revised draft Structure Plan has been submitted by LandCorp and the planning of the LVL project and its associated access arrangements has been finalised.

Risk and Indemnification

The City will require indemnification from the WA Sporting Car Club against any Public Liability claims that may arise as a result of providing access through part lot 4.

Statutory Compliance

Planning Approval for the construction of the road would be required if constructed through Pt Lot 4.

Strategic Implications

The V8 Super Car Championships is a significant event and its potential loss (through not having provided the necessary access road) would be a significant loss to the district. The Neerabup Industrial Area will be a strategic economic and employment centre for this district and it is important that the access road is not implemented in a manner which may in any way prejudice the proper and successful development of this area.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The WA Sporting Car Club has obtained preliminary costings to construct the proposed road (of approximate 950m length) to a limestone surface standard to a minimum width of 7.4 metres, as up to $80,000.

In respect to the City’s risk exposure on this issue, given the advice which has now been given to the City by CAMS (through the Club) and through the preparation of the Emergency Evacuation Plan, should the City not take all reasonable endeavours to facilitate the provision of the proposed emergency access route, it is possible that in the event of an emergency occurring at the Racetrack and injury or damage is exacerbated through the absence of the access route, then it is possible that the City may be at some risk of legal action against it. Council should therefore give consideration to the support of the temporary access road without providing a funding commitment.

Simple Majority

Recommendation

That Council ADVISES the WA Sporting Car Club that:

1. It acknowledges the need for an emergency access route to be provided to the Barbagello Raceway as soon as possible and agrees that the Club could provide access either:

a) as a northward extension from Mather Drive through Council owned land to the southern boundary of the raceway. The detail alignment would need to be agreed with Council Administration and constructed as a private road with limited public access; or

b) as an extension of Mather Drive connecting to Pederick Road and Orchid Road. These roads may be extended as part of the construction project for the proposed Laminated Veneer Lumber Plant.

2. The approval given in 1 above is subject to the Club indemnifying the City against any Public Liability that may arise as a result of this approval;

3. It declines the WA Sporting Car Club’s request for Council funding for the construction of any road access;

4. Future changes to levels in this general area may mean that the access road may one day need to be removed, and the City will not be liable to the Club for any cost in this regard;

5. A traffic management strategy will be necessary to ensure that the proposed road access forms part of a broader emergency vehicle access route strategy which will ensure that emergency vehicles do not become impeded in other roads such as the southern end of Mather Drive or Flynn Drive, having traversed the proposed emergency access road. This strategy should be prepared by the Club in consultation with the City and other relevant agencies.

6. Requests that the State Government through Landcorp, consider the early development of a north-south road to the Barbagallo Raceway to assist in the resolution of existing access problems.

Background

At its meeting held on 22 August 2000, Council resolved, in relation to the City’s Festival and Cultural Events Advisory Committee, to:

1. APPROVE the renaming of the Festival and Cultural Events Advisory Committee to the Festival, Arts and Cultural Events (FACE) Advisory Committee

2. APPROVE the draft Terms of Reference for the Committee (attached to this report)

The terms of reference established for the Committee define its role as recommendations to Council on policy matters pertaining to the promotion of the City’s culture.

Three delegated Councillors and appropriate administration staff were nominated as comprising the membership of the Committee, which has a minimum of 6 meetings per year.

In addition to specification of the overall role of the Committee, the Scope of activities undertaken by the Committee were also nominated, which are as follows:

· Advise and make recommendations to Council on the strategic direction for cultural events and facilities in the City of Wanneroo

· Develop policies in relation to the management of cultural events and artwork respectively

Detail

Following Council elections in May 2001, two Councillors (Cr Grierson and Cr Monks) were appointed to the Committee at the special Council meeting held on 8 May 2001. No further nominations for the third delegate to this Committee were received at the meeting.

Since this appointment of Councillors, the Committee has continued to meet on an irregular basis, dependent upon issues to be discussed.

At their most recent meeting (held on 5 December 2001), participants reviewed the Committee’s terms of reference.

Following detailed discussion regarding the purpose and role of the Committee, it was suggested that the terms of reference for the Committee be changed.

Changes recommended to the existing terms of reference involve both a change to the membership of the Committee and the removal of this Committee’s association with arts.

Full details regarding the changes (in comparison with the existing terms of reference) are detailed below.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

a) An increased elected member representation on the Committee, which will allow for increased discussion, input and ideas into the development of community event concepts

b) A concentration of the activities of this Committee in one area, which may lead to greater efficiencies in time taken for meetings

Given that a Council Community Funding Working Party (consisting of the Mayor and 7 Councillors) has recently been developed as a result of the adoption of the City’s Revised Community Funding Policy, it is further recommended that the role of the Festival Arts and Cultural Events Advisory Committee not include the review of community funding applications.

Issue

To present Council with a modified schedule of proposed Community Events.

Background

At the ordinary Council meeting held on Tuesday 24^th July 2001 Council endorsed the Cultural Plan 2001/02 as recommended by the Festival & Cultural Events Advisory (FACE) Committee.

The plan provided detail of concepts for continuing Community Events including:

Spring Into It Festival, Wanneroo Carnival, Wanneroo Film Festival, LIVE and a Community Arts program.

At the FACE Committee meeting held on 5 December 2001 a revised Community Events program was discussed. As a consequence Administration have prepared a report to Council detailing the proposed Community Events for the first half of 2002.

Detail

The proposed Community Events to June 2002 are:

Wendy Matthews in Concert – January 19, 2002, Wanneroo Showgrounds

LIVE Youth Concert February 9, 2002, Wanneroo Showgrounds

Daryl Braithwaite February 23, 2002 Jacaranda Amphitheatre

Jack Jones March 9, 2002 Jacaranda Amphitheatre

Cycle Race March 3, 2002 Wanneroo Townsite

At the FACE Committee meeting held on 5 December 2001 the Wendy Matthews in Concert (confirmed & deposit paid) and LIVE Youth Concert were endorsed to proceed as per current arrangements. It was also agreed to discontinue with the Film Festival and this issue is being considered in an alternate report discussing issues involving changes to the Terms of Reference of the FACE Committee.

The Daryl Braithwaite and Jack Jones concerts have been recommended by administration in response to suggestions from the FACE Committee for a revised and modified Wanneroo Carnival concept. Daryl Braithwaite was booked for the opening concert for the original Wanneroo Carnival concept.

While the City has not committed financially to the proposed Daryl Braithwaite concert, negotiations are well under way and administration is keen to proceed with the current arrangements. The Jack Jones concert is suggested as an alternative to the closing concert for the original Wanneroo Carnival.

The Cycle Race is an opportunity for the City as the result of an approach from the Northern Districts Cycle Club. The Cycle Club has wanted to develop such a race in the Wanneroo area for a number of years. They feel this is an opportunity to showcase the sport of cycling to the community in a setting that is conducive to spectators.

The club wishes the City to enter into a partnership to present this event, and would like it to become an annual fixture on the local race calendar. Council has been asked to assist by marketing the event, assistance with some manpower and infrastructure costs, and the donation of a perpetual trophy for the event. The Club has its own public liability insurance to cover such events.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

City administration is well advanced in organising the Wendy Matthews Concert and the LIVE Youth Concert as endorsed at the recent FACE Committee meeting held on 5 December 2001.

Organisation of the Daryl Braithwaite concert is underway and administration are excited at the opportunity to conduct such an event for our residents within the Jacaranda Amphitheatre. This setting is ideal and provides Council with the opportunity to utilise the Administration Building to promote the City.

The Jack Jones concert is a suggestion of administration to replace the previously intended Wanneroo Carnival closing concert.

The Cycle Race is an opportunity to attract interest and promote the Townsite and Civic Centre precinct.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

Recent community consultation undertaken by Council in formulating the current draft Strategic Plan recognises Community Events as an important function of the City. This has resulted in a desire to review the current suite of Community Events that have been run by the City over the past two years.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Council will save $57,000 by not proceeding with the Film Festival. It has been suggested that these funds be put towards a revised Wanneroo Festival, celebrating 100 years of local government, at the end of 2002.

The recommended schedule of Community Events are all within budget with the modified programme expected to further contribute to available carry over funds.

Level 1 Approval by Julie Bonnick Date 04 December 2001

Responsible Officer: Chief Executive Officer

Disclosure of Interest: Nil

StartStrip - This line will not be printed so do not delete

Issue

To enable the Mayor and Chief Executive Officer to make decisions on behalf of Council during the Christmas/New Year recess in the event of an emergency.

Background

During the Christmas/New Year period, there are no ordinary meetings of Council scheduled. This is also a common time for elected members to be absent or unavailable for council meetings. In the event of a decision being required to be made which does not require an Absolute Majority or Special Majority of Council, under the Local Government Act 1995, or any other act empowering the local government, it is suggested that the Council delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to make any decisions on behalf of Council on the basis that the Chief Executive Officer must first consult with the Mayor and both persons are in agreement. Such decisions would be documented and reported to Councillors.

Detail

The purpose of this is to avoid having to delay matters which may come before the City or require a decision which, in the view of the Chief Executive Officer and Mayor, would be supported by the majority of elected members. The delegation would commence from 19 December 2001 and conclude on 5 February 2002.

It is likely that during this period the appoint at least one Director. If this is required the Chief Executive Officer and the Mayorwill consult by Memorandum with all Elected Members prior to the appointment

Comment

This is a common procedure which is provided for in most local governments.

Statutory Compliance

Section 5.42 of the Local Government act 1995 allows Council to delegate to the Chief Executive Officer any of its powers or the discharge of any of its duties under the Act except those powers or duties that are specified in Section 5.43 of the Act which include:-

a) any power or duty that requires an absolute or special majority of Council

b) accepting a tender inexcess of $50,000

Issue

The adoption of the City of Wanneroo Environmental Waste Services Operations Enterprise Bargaining Agreement 2001, which has been developed by management and employees, covered by the Municipal Employees Award (WA) 1999.

Background

On 1 July 1999 the new City of Wanneroo inherited seven (7) Certified Agreements as a result of the split of both Councils. All Agreements required re-negotiating. One of these Agreements, the City of Joondalup Technical Services Waste Services (Outside Employees) Enterprise Agreement 1998, covered employees employed as Drivers under the Municipal Employees Award (WA) 1999. The City has been negotiating for nine (9) months a new Agreement titled City of Wanneroo Environmental Waste Services Operations Employees Enterprise Bargaining Agreement 2001.

Detail

Copies of the draft Agreement which is dated 6 December 2001 have been provided separately to Elected Members. The agreement covers fifty one (51) Drivers out of 445 employees who work for the City of Wanneroo.

In the current agreement Drivers collecting domestic rubbish carts are paid a Bin Allowance of $0.12 per cart for all carts over 1000 that are collected in a day or overtime, which ever is larger. Last year some high capacity trucks were introduced into the fleet. This resulted in the drivers of these trucks being able to earn significantly more money and created a feeling of inequity in the workforce. One of the main claims from all but the Domestic Rubbish Drivers has been the abolition of the Bin Allowance on the basis that they are all drivers and should be paid equally.

To minimise the impact on the Domestic Rubbish Drivers the agreement has almost all of the increase in the first year.

The Agreement also provides for the annualising of the previous Productivity Allowance into the hourly rate. This increased overtime payments was balanced by not paying double time rates on Saturdays and when working Rostered Days Off. In negotiating the EBA the overall impact on the wages bill was used including leave loading and overtime

The term of the Agreement is for three (3) years with the following pay increases:

In return for entering into the Agreement, abolishing Bin Allowance and agreeing to work on Rostered Days Off and Saturdays at time and a half, all employees will receive a 12.6% salary increase backdated to the date of the secret ballot, which was Friday, 6 December 2001. A percentage of this increase has already been given since the last EBA.

Thereafter the payments will be a further:

· 0.35% from 6 December 2002 ; and

· 0.4% from 6 December 2003.

A Workplace Consultative Committee will be estabished to conduct a quarterly review of the operation of the Agreement to monitor the implementation process towards achieving the outcomes required in the Agreement. One of the major goals of this Committee will be to review the current rounds made by each Driver per day and redesign any round to ensure fairness and equity is maintained between Drivers in overall work load and identify productivity improvements to the system.

Discussion will commence six (6) months before the expiry date of the Agreement, to negotiate a new agreement.

Comment

This is a Division 2 Agreement without Unions as signatories.

From the Council Management perspective the main benefits of this Agreement are:

1. Establishing a new City of Wanneroo Agreement reflecting our culture and values and no longer having ties with the City of Joondalup;

2. A three year Agreement minimises productivity time and cost expanded through negotiations in comparison to a conventional two (2) year Agreement;

3. Abolishing the concept of Bin Allowance which has created significant division in the workplace . The bin allowance is approximately $90,000 per annum and was paid in place of overtime. It is expected that some overtime will now be claimed by the domestic collection drivers, especially as there is no incentive to finish rounds early. This could be as high as $95,000 if all runs take an hour longer but is most likely to be in the order of $20,000 after the drivers get used to the new EBA conditions;

4. Overtime payments will be at time and a half for the entire working day for drivers working Saturday or called in on their RDO instead of changing to double time after the first two hours;

5. The Productivity Allowance paid weekly has now been incorporated into the base hourly rate and will save productivity time within the Human Resource Services and Payroll in relation to data entry and administration; and

6. Increase in staff morale;

Some of the significant benefits to employees will be :

1. Bin Allowance was only received by approximately 26% of the Drivers and with the abolishing of this allowance all Drivers will receive the same annual salary which ensures fairness and equity of payment of salaries, with the exception of those who wish to work additional overtime;

2. Higher hourly rate in years one and two of the agreement to balance change in Bin Allowance payments to the Domestic Rubbish Drivers

3. Four weeks paid parental leave to all Drivers eligible; and

4. Agreement for all parties to meet in May 2002 to discuss the employees’ claim for an additional 1% SGC to be paid equitably on behalf of all employees.

On Thursday 6 December 2001, a secret ballot was held and was successful.

Statutory Compliance

Workplace Relations Act 1996 Section 170LJ, 170LK and 170LL.

Strategic Implications

The Drivers salaries are expected to be competitive in relation to the preparation of submissions to the City of Joondalup for extension of the Service Level Agreements

Financial Implications

The current budget allowed for an increase in the salary component of employees covered by the Municipal Employees Award (WA) 1999. The twelve-month wages budget for Environmental Waste Services is $2,170,517. The estimated 12 months cost of the new EBA is $2,138,926 plus an unknown increase in overtime for Domestic Drivers that should not exceed $30,000 in the next 6 months. Since the starting date of the Agreement is effectively half way through the financial year the full costs can be covered in the current budget.

Issue

Development of a Traineeship program within the City of Wanneroo.

Background/Detail

In March 2001 the City of Wanneroo initiated a Traineeship Forum for all local governments within Western Australia and stakeholders. Thirteen (13) Councils, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Industry Training Advisory Board (ITAB), Department of Training and Employment and Registered Training Organisations (RTO) attended. It was identified at the Forum that all participating Councils had difficulty recruiting entry level Building Surveyors, Planners and Rates Officers because of the shortage and scarcity of qualifications and skills within the State.

The City of Wanneroo then undertook the leadership role in liaising with external stakeholders and all local government authorities within Western Australia, to determine the actual commitment and recruitment needs of each Council in the following ways:

1. In July 2001 Human Resource Services managed a workshop that involved six (6) Councils (eg City of Swan, City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder) to select the competencies for a Local Government Building Surveyor Traineeship. The result from this workshop was the establishment of a Building Surveyor Traineeship designed for local government.

2. The Acting Chief Executive Officer sent a letter to all local government authorities seeking an expression of interest in this initiative. This month twenty-one (21) Councils have provided a written response indicating they will provide the opportunity to employ a possible fifty-four (54) Traineeships within local governments in Western Australia.

3. Human Resource Services has developed three strategies to implement an effective Traineeship program: These strategies are:

· Traineeships within the City of Wanneroo;

· Traineeships for Building Surveyors – Metropolitan Area (City of Wanneroo, City of Stirling, City of Belmont, Town of Vincent, City of Rockingham and Town of Bassendean); and

· Traineeships in country local government authorities.

The Traineeship Forum and discussions with Managers have clearly identified that the City needs to implement a strategy to improve human resource planning in difficult to recruit positions and a Traineeship program can be an effective initiative.

Another process that has highlighted the need for an initiative to be implemented for ‘difficult to recruit’ positions was the development of the Strategic People Management Plan. During the development process it was identified that the City required to develop a strategy to improve its human resource planning in ‘difficult to recruit’ positions within the City.

In addition to key areas of skill need other opportunities for the introduction of Traineeships have been identified.

Comment

Managers have identified the need for Traineeships in the following areas:

· Building Surveying;

· Libraries (Indigenous Trainee preferred);

· Youth Services (Indigenous Trainee preferred);

· Landscape Design;

· Engineering Construction;

· Corporate Administration (Governance, Finance, Records); and

· Administration (Approval Services).

A proposed implementation Plan has developed as follows:

1. Ensure adequate resources are within each Unit eg Mentor, computer.

2. Appoint a Registered Training Organisation (RTO);

3. Contact all high schools within the boundaries of the City of Wanneroo of possible Traineeships;

4. Contact appropriate recruitment sources;

5. Select appropriate applicant for each Traineeship;

6. Provide an effective one day Orientation Day in January 2002;

7. Provide an effective Induction to the workplace; and

8. Develop an ongoing review process of the Traineeships which includes Mentors, RTO

The success of this initiative will be predominantly reliant on the effective recruitment of the trainee and management commitment in supporting and mentoring the trainees. However, this initiative will:

· enhance employment opportunities for our community;

· support our Equal Employment Opportunity Policy;

· enable the City to provide an opportunity for individuals to develop career paths in specific local government areas which may be a long term benefit to the organisation; and

· enable the City of Wanneroo to be a leader in providing meaningful Traineeships within local government in Western Australia

Strategic Implications

Fits into the Human Resource Strategic Plan of the City.

Financial Implications

Trainee wages paid under the Local Government Officers (WA) Award 1999 (Federal) are calculated using the formula: what was their highest year of schooling completed (eg. Year 12) plus the number of years they have been out of school (up to a maximum of 5 years or more).

The current maximum that can be paid to a Trainee under this Award is $364 gross per week. This equates to $18,928 per annum. This is purely a wages cost and does not include overheads such as workers compensation, superannuation etc.

Seven Trainees would therefore need an annual budget of $132,496 (wage component only) and is subject to safety net adjustments.

To offset part of the wages component the Commonwealth Department of Employment and Youth Affairs (DETYA) will pay a $1,375 incentive payment 3 months after commencement of the Trainee (the Trainee must still be employed by the City).

The other consideration in terms of financial cost is the RTO fees.

RTO fees are the responsibility of the Trainee, however general custom and practice as advised by the training provider, is that most organisations pay the fees on behalf of the Trainee using part of the DETYA subsidy.

RTO fees are based on the nominal training hours of the Traineeship selected and could cost up to $650 for a nominal 12 month Traineeship. Extra fees could be charged if additional off-the-job training is required by the Trainee.

If the City adopted a policy of paying the RTO fees on behalf of the Trainee, it would reduce the subsidy to an approximate value of $700.

The projected cost to the City for the proposed seven Traineeships is as follows:

Expenditure

Wages 132,496

Plus direct overheads 33,124

165,620

Less

DETYA subsidy 4,900

Total 160,720

If Traineeships commence in January 2002 half of the expenditure will need to be sourced from the current budget and the remaining expenditure budgeted for 2002/03. Managers who have requested a Trainee will need to accommodate the additional salary expenses within their current budget.

The total cost per Traineeship will be approximately $22,960 per annum, therefore in the current budget a Manager will need to accommodate approximately $11,480.

Advice form the Director of Corporate Services is that these funds could be accommodated within the current staffing budget for Council.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Key Success Factors 5

Goals 6

Strategies 7

Introduction

This draft strategic plan is the result of many hours of collaborative workshops with staff, management and Councillors and represents a consensus understanding of the future directions for the City and the means by which this will be achieved.

The Strategic Plan enables the City of Wanneroo to identify those matters requiring priority attention and will form the basis of the City’s activities from 2002 to 2005. The Plan analyses the existing social, economic and physical environment in which we live and operate as a local government and it identifies a vision for our future as a community. The Plan also establishes the goals and strategies that we need to follow to achieve that vision and to successfully complete our mission. This is a living document that will remain under constant review and evaluation.

Mission Statement

[50] John Pidgeon Architect queried whether a front verandah had ever existed, and was of the opinion furthermore, that it was unlikely that if a verandah had existed any such verandah would have been bullnosed. However, the discovery of a photo taken in c1970 showed a bullnose verandah that was no longer extant when John Pidgeon wrote his report. The construction of the front verandah in 1984 was based on the c1970 photograph. Only oral evidence of an early verandah c.1940 has been found to date.
