Issue
To review the estimated cell costs for East Wanneroo Cell 6 in the light of objections received following notification of adopted costs.
Applicant |
N/A |
Owner |
Multiple |
Location |
Generally bounded by Wanneroo Road, Gnangara Road, Hepburn Avenue (future) and Mirrabooka Avenue (future) |
Site Area |
598.35 hectares (approximately) |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Background
At its meeting on 18 December 2001 (item PD06-12/01) Council adopted the modified East Wanneroo Cell 6 Local Structure Plan. At this time, Council also adopted the figure of $26,971,523 as the current estimated cell costs and $5,897.01 as the current infrastructure cost per lot to be applied in East Wanneroo Cell 6. Council also authorised notification of the estimated cell costs pursuant to Clause 10.11 of District Planning Scheme No. 2.
Detail
Clause 10.11 of DPS 2 requires Council to notify the estimate of cell costs to all landowners within the Cell by way of advertisement in a newspaper on at least two occasions. A period of 42 days is to be allowed for an owner to lodge an objection in writing to the estimate.
Council is required to assess all objections within 60 days of the close of the advertising period and if the objection is not upheld, it is to be referred to arbitration of a single arbitrator in the manner provided by the Commercial Arbitration Act, 1985.
Consultation
The estimated cell costs and the infrastructure cost per lot were advertised on two consecutive Wednesdays in the Local Government Notices of the “West Australian” newspaper. Furthermore, all landowners within Cell 6 who had previous direct communication with the City on matters pertaining to cell costs were advised of the estimates in writing.
The advertised period has now ended and seven objections were received within the time allowed. The issues raised by the submissions relate to the following:
1. The valuation figure the City has applied to areas of historic public open space. This issue was raised in all the submissions.
2. The application of solatium to historic public open space credits. This issue was raised in four of the submissions.
3. The interpretation of market value in DPS2. This issue was raised in one submission.
Comment
Valuation applied to historic public open space areas
The costs associated with the acquisition of land for public open space (POS) is included in the cell costs, and therefore the infrastructure costs applicable to each new lot within Cell 6. The owners of land-holdings containing the actual POS areas identified in the structure plan, are entitled to a credit for this POS against their respective infrastructure cost.
In calculating the cell cost estimates, the City applied a rate of $370,000 per hectare, as the average value for cell purpose land that is to be acquired. This rate was based on qualified valuation advice for selected sites throughout the cell area. The rate is accepted as being a representative value for cost estimation purposes and the quantum as it is applied to new public open space and road alignments is not the subject of any of the objections.
Cell 6 however contains three historic POS areas that were given up by the past subdivision of the rural land-holdings over the last 40 years. These areas are identified as B, C and E on the locality plan shown on Attachment 1. The land-holdings that contributed to these areas of historic POS represent approximately half of the Cell area. Until December 2001, when Council adopted the current estimated cell costs, the approach taken in respect to the valuation of both new and historic POS land was that it should all be valued at the same rate and that rate should reflect current market conditions. However, in reviewing this principle at the time of calculating the final cell costs, it was considered that this was not the most equitable approach. This was because the current owners of land-holdings that contributed to the historic POS, never had the use or enjoyment of that land and therefore could not be considered to incur a loss in the same manner as an owner who is required to cede new areas of open space under current market conditions. Accordingly the City, after some discussion with valuation professionals, applied a nominal rate (ie. approximately one tenth of the current average value) to the historic open space areas.
This resulted in the landowners that are entitled to historic open space credits being credited at the rate of $37,000 per hectare, as opposed to the rate of $370 000 per hectare. It is this change that is the subject of the objections. The objectors (being owners of land, or their representatives, from which the historic open space originated) argue that under these circumstances they are disadvantaged, as they are required to contribute to the total cost of the open space in the cell at the same rate as the other owners, even though their land-holdings had made a previous historic contribution.
Whilst the equity principle that the City was seeking to establish in respect to historic POS credits is sound, this approach did not recognise that people have bought land in the area over the last few years based on an expectation that they would receive a credit based upon full market value. This will have the effect of altering the status quo and will have significant financial implications for these landowners. The City sought advice from its legal advisor which confirmed that under the circumstances, reverting back to the original position was an appropriate course of action. It is therefore considered appropriate that the objections on this matter are upheld, and Council apply current market valuations for credits toward both new and historic areas of POS.
Recalculating the estimated cell costs and infrastructure cost per lot using the rate of $370, 000 per hectare to all areas of historic and new POS credits, will have the effect of increasing the total estimated cell costs from $26,971,523 to $31,248,091, and the infrastructure cost per lot from $5,897.01 to $6,832.04. These rates reflect both previous assumptions and the cost of actually acquiring the land for cell works as well as the constructions costs for the cells works and are based on recent valuations which have not been the subject of objection.
Whilst there is no obligation on Council to re-notify landowners of these new costings, given the significant change in cell costs and to maintain the principles of natural justice, it would be prudent for Council to again notify cell owners of these rates and the reasons for the change.
Solatium for Historic Public Open Space Credits
The submissions argue that solatium should be applied to historic public open space credits on the grounds that the owners who are entitled to those credits are contributing a solatium allowance to other owners as part of their infrastructure payments and therefore are entitled to the same solatium. The City’s estimates do not include a solatium allowance in relation to the historic open space credits, but provision has been made to apply solatium to new areas of open space in certain circumstances.
The objectors argument is fundamentally flawed and fails to recognise that the solatium provision of DPS2 is intended to ensure that Council will receive sufficient funds to acquire land for cell works and meet its obligations for payment to the effected owners. That is to say that the solatium provision is intended to cover the circumstances where Council might be forced to resume land, in which case it is probable that a solatium allowance would be applied to a compensation award handed down by a compensation court. The fact that in order to avoid the need for resumption, solatium is paid voluntarily to owners who provide more than ten per cent of their holding as open space, does not imply that the payment of solatium should be extended to include historic open space that is not being acquired.
Furthermore, the City’s Scheme recognises this and makes provision for payment of solatium for new POS acquisition. It does not in the case of historic POS credits and any consideration in this regard by the City would be without legal basis.
Council will also note that the comment that those owners entitled to an historic POS credit are contributing to the solatium being received by others is correct and quite appropriate as this is a legitimate cell cost that all cell owners must contribute toward. In view of the above, this objection is not considered valid and is therefore not upheld.
Interpretation of Market Value
This objection argues that the intent of DPS2 is to apply the market rate that is current from time to time to the historic open space credits. Legal advice taken by the City on this issue confirms that the current market value is the correct interpretation of the historic open space credit provisions of DPS 2.
Conclusion
Based upon the submissions received, the City has reviewed its approach to the calculation of historic open space credits strictly in accordance with the provisions contained in DPS 2. On this basis, submissions 1 and 3 relating to the basis of valuation applied have been upheld. Submission No. 2 which relates to payment of solatium is not upheld as it is considered to have no legal foundation.
Whilst it is intended to give further public notice in regard to the revised cell costs, it should be noted that as no submission was received in regard to any other element of the cell costs (except as outlined herein) and the changes being proposed are strictly in accordance with the Scheme, the increased cell cost is purely a reflection of this and in itself not considered to be a valid reason for any future objections that may be received.
Statutory Compliance
The provisions of Part 10 of DPS2 have been complied with.
Strategic Implications
The adoption of the estimated cell costs and infrastructure costs per lot will assist with establishing the planning framework for the equitable provision of infrastructure which is contained in Objective 2.6.1 of the draft Planning and Development Directorate Strategic Plan.
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Whilst the revision of the credit rate for historic open space will have a direct impact on the estimated cell costs and the infrastructure cost per lot to be paid by all subdividing landowners within Cell 6, this revision is simply a reflection of the cost that has been estimated to undertake the cell works.

Simple Majority.

Issue
Consideration of an application to amend District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2) to rezone Swan Location 8654 (8) High Road, Wanneroo, from Local Scheme Reserve -Public Use to Residential Zone.
Applicant |
SJB Town Planning and Urban Design |
Owner |
Water Corporation of Western Australia |
Location |
Swan Location 8654 (8) High Road, Wanneroo |
Site Area |
1.5226 hectares |
MRS Zoning |
Urban |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Public Use Reserve R20 |
Background
The subject site is located on the south - eastern corner of the intersection of Quarkum Street and High Road, Wanneroo. The site adjoins Reserve 34300, which contains the Wanneroo Senior High School and the East Wanneroo Primary School, and Reserve 18643, which contains two communication towers (refer Attachment 1).
A water treatment plant and a water tank were previously located on the subject site. These facilities were decommissioned in 1995 and have since been removed. The site is currently vacant and no longer required by the Water Corporation.
Detail
The applicant has requested that District Planning Scheme No 2 be amended to rezone Location 8654 from Public Purpose Reserve to Residential.
A preliminary concept plan to support the amendment has been prepared by the applicant. This concept is shown on Attachment 2 and depicts the following:
1. 16 single residential lots ranging in size from 544 square metres to 651 square metres;
2. A group housing site of 3085 square metres; and
3. Two new roads (cul-de-sacs) entering from High Road.
Consultation
The Town Planning Regulations provide that where an amendment is consistent with State plans, policies etc, then the local authority may proceed to advertise the amendment without the Western Australian Planning Commission’s consent.
Comment
The proposed residential zoning of this site is consistent with the urban zoning of the land under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.
The concept plan which supports the amendment raises a number of concerns including matters such as the interface with the school site, the creation of an uncontrolled four way intersection along High Road and provision for drainage. The applicant is also seeking to satisfy its public open space obligation through the provision of a cash payment in lieu of the open space. If the amendment proceeds, then a subdivision approval will be required before the land can be subdivided. It is appropriate that these design issues be addressed at the subdivision application stage.
WAPC Policy allows cash-in-lieu of open space if the subdivision is small and if there are sufficient open space areas already available in the locality. In this regard the 10 % requirement would only yield an open space area of 1523 m2, which is less than the minimum of 3500 m2 recommended in the City’s Public Open Space Policy. In addition, there are also two areas of public open space measuring 5348 m2 and 2.5436 hectares situated approximately 100 metres (Barndie Way) and 300 metres (Nolyang Crescent) respectively from the subject site. On this basis a cash-in-lieu payment would be considered reasonable.
Council will note that the subject land is adjacent to communication towers to the east. Council’s Mobile Telephone Base Station Planning Policy requires a minimum separation of 500 metres between new mobile telephone base stations (of which the tower is one component) and sensitive land uses, which include residential. However, the policy does not stipulate a minimum buffer distance between existing communication towers and new residential developments. Nevertheless, the intent of the policy is to minimise any possible health impacts to residents from such towers. On this basis, it is considered appropriate that the applicant be requested to provide a detailed report justifying the appropriateness of the proposed residential zoning of the subject land in view of the proximity of the communication towers, in order for the Council to properly assess the subject amendment proposal.
Statutory Compliance
A proposed residential zoning would be consistent with the Metropolitan Region Scheme zoning. If the Council were to ultimately initiate an amendment, this would follow the statutory process outlined in the Town Planning Regulations.
Strategic Implications
Nil
Policy Implications
A request for a detailed report in relation to the likely impact from the existing telecommunication towers upon proposed residential development on the subject land is consistent with the intent of the Council’s mobile telephone base station planning policy.
Financial Implications

Recommendation
That Council ADVISES SJB Town Planning and Urban Design acting on behalf of Water Corporation of Western Australia that it will require a detailed report addressing the possible health impacts resulting from the adjacent telecommunication towers prior to considering the proposed amendment to the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No.2 to rezone Location 8654 (8) High Road, Wanneroo, from Local Scheme Reserve - Public Use to Residential Zone.

Issue
Consideration of a Draft Neerabup Industrial Area Structure Plan (NIASP).
Applicant |
Taylor Burrell on behalf of LandCorp |

Location |
Various properties north of Flynn Drive, Neerabup |
Site Area |
1,000 ha (approx) |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Industrial Development, General Industrial, Public Purpose Reserve |
MRS Zoning |
Industrial, Public Purpose Reserve |
Background
Subject Land
The location of the subject land is shown on Attachment 1. A small first stage of partially serviced industrial lots was developed in the mid 1970’s. Other existing land uses include limestone and sand quarries, market gardens, turf farm and a poultry farm.
Planning Context
The proposed Neerabup Industrial Area (NIA) is designated as an important strategic industrial area to serve the North West Corridor (State Planning Strategy 1997, Metroplan 1990, North West Corridor Structure Plan 1992).
Previous Studies
The planning of the NIA has been the subject of studies over the past 10 years. The key studies undertaken have been:
· “Flynn Drive Industrial Area District Structure Plan” study undertaken in 1995 by Richard Pawluk & Associates and others for the landowners involved. This study was considered by Council, which decided that a number of issues required further investigation:
- delineation of the boundary between the industrial zone and the Lake Neerabup Parks and Recreation reserve;
- major road structure, particularly north-south roads;
- future levels (following mining);
- implications of mining and industrial development on groundwater, and vice versa;
- traffic modelling, particularly in respect to projected employment densities;
- environmental assessment requirements;
- developer contributions
· “Flynn Drive Structure Plan” Study undertaken in 1999 by Planwest and others for the City of Wanneroo. This study was commissioned by the City to seek to address the issues arising from the 1995 study as referred to above.
· “Neerabup Industrial Area Structure Plan Review” study undertaken in December 1999 by SMEC consultants for LandCorp.
This study arose from a desire by LandCorp to play a more prominent role in the planning and development of the NIA, acknowledging its role as the government agency responsible for facilitating such major projects. The study reviewed the key planning issues affecting the area and recommended approaches to those issues.
Detail
Current Draft NIASP
The current Draft which has now been submitted by Taylor Burrell on behalf of LandCorp for consideration under Part 9 of District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2) involves an attempt by LandCorp to seek to resolve the planning issues affecting this area as soon as possible to enable further industrial development to proceed in this area at the earliest opportunity.
A copy of the Draft has been placed in the Elected Members’ Reading Room.
The following summarises the key elements of the Draft:
1. Part 1 – Statutory Planning Section
This section would have statutory effect under DPS2. Its provisions do the following:
a) Provide for a Structure Plan Map (refer Attachment 2) which shows:
· a major road structure;
· General Industrial, Service Industrial, Business and Open Space precincts;
· Bush Forever sites which are ‘subject to negotiation’;
· ‘Mandatory Road Interfaces’ to two of the Bush Forever sites;
· an annotation on the western portion of the NIA land which states “Future Structure Plan and final surface contour levels for Lot 21 to be adopted as an amendment to the NIA Structure Plan prior to any extraction, subdivision or other development being considered or carried out”.
b) Provide for a “Final Surface Contour Plan” (refer Attachment 3) with the following associated provisions:
· the final surface levels shown on the plan must be achieved prior to subdivision and/or development on-site;
· any resource extraction must comply with the levels shown at the completion of extraction;
· where final surface levels are not shown on the plan (ie. over the western portion of the NIA land), no subdivision should, or resource extraction or other development shall, be commenced or carried out until a Final Surface Contour Plan is prepared and adopted as an amendment to the NIASP
c) Provide the following provision in respect to its proposed General Industrial, Service Industrial and Business Precincts:
· General Industrial: Permissibility of uses and development shall be in accordance with the provisions of the General Industrial zone under DPS2, except that Hazardous Industry shall be an ‘X’ (not permitted) use in this precinct (it is otherwise a ‘D’ [discretionary] use under DPS2);
· Service Industrial: Permissibility of uses and development shall be in accordance with the Service Industrial zone under DPS2;
· Business: Permissibility of uses and development shall be in accordance with the Business zone under DPS2, except that Shop shall be an ‘A’ (discretionary, with mandatory advertising) use in this precinct, and the maximum floorspace per shop use is 300m² Net Lettable Area (NLA). (Shop is otherwise an ‘X’ [not permitted] use in the Business Zone under DPS2).
2. Part 2 – Explanatory Section
This section of the Structure Plan is for explanatory purposes only and would not have effect under DPS2. It does however include a number of recommendations (which are dealt with later in the report) and provides, at an indicative level, further detail for the Structure Plan. In particular, it includes an ‘Indicative Development Concept’ plan for the subject land (refer Attachment 4).
Consultation
The consultants have consulted with landowners in the area and key government agencies involved in the preparation of an earlier Draft Structure Plan document which was submitted to the City by LandCorp in May 2001.
The City referred this first Draft to the landowners and key agencies for comment. Comments received from agencies were forwarded onto the consultant for consideration. Referral of the first Draft to the landowners led to further rounds of consultation between the consultant and the owners. The main outcome of this has been the deletion of detailed structure planning proposals from most of the Cockburn Cement land at the west of the NIA (Lot 21) to accommodate that owner’s desire to retain a substantial degree of flexibility for when it is in a position to put forward its own detailed proposals for that area.
The current Draft has again been referred to key agencies for comment. It has not been referred to the landowners involved as the consultant has advised that they have thoroughly consulted with the landowners in its preparation.
Comment
Use Permissibility for Business Precinct
The Draft proposes that use permissibility in the Business Precinct be as per the Business Zone under DPS2, except that ‘Shop’ be an ‘A’ use, and that the maximum floorspace per shop use be 300m² NLA. While it is accepted that there will be a need for some shops to be provided in the NIA to serve the immediate needs of that area, it is unclear at this stage as to whether this is the best way of providing for it. It is therefore recommended that this matter be further considered by Council at the time that it considers submissions received on the Draft.
Basic Raw Material Extraction and Future levels.
The Draft has attempted to achieve a balance between, on the one hand, ensuring that important basic raw materials (limestone and sand) are extracted from the land, and on the other, ensuring that industrial development is able to proceed and support the economic development of this region and provide an important focus of employment.
The Draft was referred to the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR) for comment and a copy of its response is attached (Attachment 5). It may be noted that this includes a copy of comments provided by Whelans consultants on behalf of Cockburn Cement. At this stage, it is considered that the approach adopted in the Draft plan is reasonable in seeking to achieve a balance as referred to earlier, and in providing flexibility in respect to Cockburn Cement’s land. The matters raised by DMPR and Whelans should be considered further following formal advertising of the Draft, at which time Whelans will have had opportunity to fully assess the Draft, and comments from all relevant agencies will be available for consideration.
In respect to compliance with the future levels shown on the Final Surface Contour Plan, it may be noted that the Part 1 provisions of the Draft are quite rigid. However, Part 2 (section 6.2.2) of the Draft sees that there should be some flexibility in being able to permit some variations, where considered acceptable on its merits. The Part 1 provisions should be modified prior to advertising to reflect this flexibility.
The final levels plan generally shows a significant reduction in the levels in the central part of the site, and some major areas of ‘fill’ being required in some lower eastern parts of the site to bring those lower areas up to the higher levels shown on the levels plan. The high and low areas are in different ownerships so there may be a need for some sort of co-operative arrangement to facilitate this. It would be desirable for the consultant to provide some comment on this issue during the advertising period of the Draft.
The Draft refers at a number of points to the need to ensure that mining levels keep an adequate distance above the expected maximum water table level. It would be desirable that an actual separation distance is stipulated in the Draft.
Karst Landforms (Caves)
The Draft refers to the likelihood of karst landforms, particularly in the western part of the NIA. However, the Draft does not refer to any significant detailed karst surveys having been undertaken to-date, and places emphasis upon such detailed surveys being undertaken at subdivision/development stage. This may not properly address the issue, and it may be preferable that, during advertising of the Draft, the consultant is required to give consideration to a more thorough level of assessment of the matter during the earlier phases of planning, perhaps adopting a similar approach which the Minister for Environment has required in respect to the Yanchep-Two Rocks area (future Urban and Rural Community areas). This would also include consideration of any fauna which may be associated with karst features.
Bush Forever
The NIA land is affected by two Bush Forever Sites (BFS):
· BFS 295 relates to an area on the north east corner of Flynn Drive and Mather Drive (on City-owned land) and also at the south-eastern corner of the NIA (on the Borello family’s land).
· BFS 293 relates to the north west corner of the NIA, on Cockburn Cement land.
Bush Forever proposes that protection of these bushland areas be implemented through ‘Strategic Negotiated Planning Solutions’, and notes that the status of implementation is ‘To be determined’.
The Draft NIASP shows the areas concerned as ‘Bush Forever Site Subject to Negotiation’. It also refers to a possible opportunity for the City to negotiate with the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) regarding the possibility of an exchange arrangement between the BFS on Mather Drive, and the Public Reserve area on the City-owned land in the north-east corner of the NIA, which is currently proposed for rezoning to Industrial under North West Districts Omnibus Amendment No. 5 to the MRS (section 5.8 of Draft).
DPI officers (in the Bush Forever Office) have previously advised that they will be seeking that the acquisition of the BFS concerned be included as a ‘Cell Work’ in the developer contribution arrangement for the NIA. The Draft NIASP presently does not include it as Cell Work.
The process of finalising the NIASP and its other associated implementation mechanisms will provide the vehicle for completion of the negotiations which will be involved in resolving this issue.
At this stage, however, it should be noted that it is not considered reasonable that local governments be expected to be responsible for developer contribution systems for acquisition of regionally significant bushland required for protection under Bush Forever. Rather, the more appropriate mechanism is for such bushland requiring protection to be reserved under the MRS for Parks and Recreation purposes and purchased from the owners concerned by the WA Planning Commission pursuant to normal reservation and compensation procedures.
Flora and Vegetation Surveys and Fauna
The Draft advises that threatened ecological communities (TEC’s) may exist within the NIA and therefore recommends that flora and vegetation surveys be undertaken prior to development (section 5.4.3). Should such surveys identify TEC’s within particular areas and their significance is such as to warrant their protection, this would obviously have significant implications for the planning of land in the vicinity, particularly in respect to future ground levels. It would therefore be appropriate that such surveys be undertaken at this present structure planning stage to ensure that the outcome can be properly responded to and accommodated in the final Structure Plan.
The Draft also advises that if it is identified that there is a priority or threatened species located within the NIA, it will be necessary for owners to liaise with CALM regarding their development timeframes to ensure that there is ample opportunity to develop appropriate management and/or preservation strategies (section 10.3.6). It is recommended that this matter be included as a provision of Part 1 of the Draft to ensure its implementation.
Leachate Plume from Old Pinjar Tip Site
The Draft notes that there is a leachate plume extending generally westwards from the old Pinjar tip beneath the eastern part of the NIA. The Draft recommends that the City undertake a detailed assessment of groundwater quality to determine the extent of the plume and undertake remediation where necessary (section 10.3.5). The City has previously undertaken monitoring of this plume and this matter is now being further investigated in light of the imminent development of this area.
The Draft also notes that the plume should not prevent most industries from operating in the NIA as the estate will be serviced with reticulated water. It advises however that it does present an issue of future liability for future industries, and that this liability will need to be fully disclosed between the industries, landowners/developers and the City (section 4.5). It is recommended that a provision is included in Part 1 of the Draft to ensure that this matter is properly addressed.
Pinjar Motor Sports Area – Barbagallo Raceway – Noise Issues
The Draft raises a number of matters which require addressing:
· it advises that the Australian Touring Car Championship is unlikely to return to Barbagallo Raceway after 2001 (section 5.21, para 5). This is incorrect and should be corrected.
· the Draft includes advice provided by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding noise and risk issues (Appendix 5 of Draft). This advice states that the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 will need to be complied with. The regulations stipulate a maximum acceptable noise level of 65 dB (A) for industrial land uses. Past studies have shown that a substantial area adjacent to the Barbagallo Raceway is occasionally subject to noise from the raceway which exceeds this level. DEP advises that to comply with the regulations, applications in respect to each proposed industry in the affected area will need to be made to the Minister for Environment (under Regulation 17) to vary the assigned level (ie. grant an exemption).
Such exemptions would only be granted in respect to uses which were not considered noise sensitive premises. The Draft has not really addressed this DEP advice and it would be appropriate that Part 1 of the Draft include a provision to ensure that this DEP advice is implemented.
The City’s Co-ordinator Health Services has considered this issue and recommended that works (eg. bunding) be undertaken near the boundary of the raceway (within the raceway reserve) to assist with reducing noise levels. Such bunding can be grassed and also provide good viewing areas for spectators at the raceway. This is something which can be separately negotiated with the WA Sporting Car Club and other owners in the area.
· the Draft considers the issue of noise impacts from the NIA upon the future residential areas to the south. It recommends that consideration be given to the use of memorials on title notifying residential purchasers of their proximity to a strategic industrial area. It also recommends that consideration be given to applying for a ‘Regional Factor’ under the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations to allow for noise emissions from the NIA (as received by the residential areas) to be a number of dB(A) higher than the assigned noise levels under the Regulations (section 5.2.2). It is recommended that these matters be considered further at the time of considering submissions following advertising of the Draft.
· the Draft refers to the importance of providing a second road access to the Barbagallo Raceway, particularly for emergency evacuation purposes. (This matter was considered at Council’s meeting of 18 December 2001 – item CD08-12/01). The Draft identifies Wattle Avenue (West) as a likely suitable route. However, as determined recently by Council, the Wattle Avenue (West) option is not feasible in the short term, and routes to the south (either as a extension to Mather Drive or Orchid Road) need to be considered.
The WA Sporting Car Club has recently sought the City’s approval to the Mather Drive option. This has been accepted as a temporary arrangement (at no expense to the City), having regard for the complications which are associated with the Orchid Road option in respect to its dependence upon progressing of the Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) Plant project. The Draft should be modified to reflect this road proposal.
Servicing
The Draft includes ‘preliminary service layouts’ in order to establish broad service planning. It recommends however that following adoption of the NIASP, ‘service concept plans’ be prepared for sewer, water, electric power, drainage, gas and communication services and submitted and agreed with the service authorities (section 9.7). These concept plans will provide a basis for individual lot owner developments and will enable forward planning by the service authorities for capital works funding for the external site service connections.
The issue of who is to prepare these concept plans and who is to pay for them needs to be addressed. In this regard, it is considered that as these plans need to be prepared in respect of the whole NIA (and therefore not able to be prepared at subdivision stage by each landowner), they really need to be a ‘Cell Work’ and Part 1 of the Structure Plan should be modified to provide for this.
Design Guidelines and Landscape Master Plan
The Draft recommends (section 10.3.1) that Design Guidelines and a Landscape Master Plan be prepared for the NIA, to include:
· main estate entries;
· the core business area;
· areas adjacent to the Lake Neerabup Parks and Recreation reserve;
· Service Industrial areas fronting Flynn Drive.
As this work will be benefiting the whole NIA, it should be a ‘Cell Work’ and it is recommended that Part 1 of the Draft be modified to include a provision to this effect.
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) Project
The Westbeam Company and the State Government are now close to finalising the proposed State Agreement to facilitate the LVL Project. In the meantime, LandCorp has submitted a subdivision application to create the property to be used for the factory (near the present western end of Pederick Road). The road system and levels plan of the Draft can accommodate the early development of this project.
Views of the Landowners Involved
As noted earlier in this report, Taylor Burrell consulted with the landowners in the preparation of an earlier draft Structure Plan. This earlier draft was forwarded by the City to the landowners and this led to further consultation between the owners and Taylor Burrell.
Cockburn Cement’s current views are included in Attachment 5.
The other private landowners are understood to be generally satisfied with the present Draft, although the effect of Bush Forever is of concern to the owners who are affected by that issue.
When the Draft is advertised, this will allow owners to formally submit their views to the City.
The City is also a landowner in this area however this report has been prepared from the perspective of the local government responsible for administering DPS2 and its structure planning provisions. When the Draft is advertised, that will be an appropriate time for the City to address this matter also from a landowner’s perspective.
Staging
The Draft includes a Staging Plan (section 7.9) which shows short, medium and long term development areas, and two possible first stage areas (refer Attachment 6). The Draft emphasises that this staging plan is basically a composite reflection of known landowner intentions and development practicalities (eg. servicing), and should not be construed as a recommended staging programme to be used in controlling the timing of development
Road Junctions on Flynn Drive
It would be desirable that prior to advertising, the Structure Plan map be amended to show the proposed roads intersecting Flynn Drive from the south, to ensure a proper co-ordination of road junctions along this road.
Main Central Roundabout
The Structure Plan includes as an important basic design feature, a major roundabout at the intersection of two main east-west and north-south roads, and the diagonal main road from the south west. It would be desirable that this feature is demonstrated as being indeed technically acceptable prior to the Draft being advertised.
Implementation
The Draft recommends that the developer contribution mechanism to be used for this project be essentially the same as that currently used for the East Wanneroo urban and industrial cells. This would mean that in due course, a number of further actions be undertaken:
· the preparation of an amendment to DPS2;
· the determination of what is to constitute Cell Works;
· the preparation of cost estimates of the Cell Works and the resultant estimated developer contribution rate to be charged.
The Draft currently includes, on an indicative basis and for discussion purposes only, an itemisation of Cell Works. It is recommended that this matter, together with the above actions, be considered further following advertising of the Draft.
Comments Received from Government Agencies
The Draft has been referred for initial comment to a number of key agencies, acknowledging that they will have opportunity to provide full comments at the time that the Draft is released for comment pursuant to the scheme provisions.
The comments received from the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources have been previously referred to (refer Attachment 5).
The following summarises comments received to-date from other agencies:
· Main Roads WA: the Draft is acceptable to Main Roads WA
· Water Corporation: No objection in principle to the Draft. A number of detailed technical comments are made regarding service provision.
· Water and Rivers Commission:
- generally no objection to the Draft;
- the area is located within the proposed Perth Coastal Underground Water Pollution Control Area (UWPCA) which is proposed for Priority 3 source protection. (Draft incorrectly states that land located within proposed Gnangara UWPCA – this should be corrected). Information regarding land use compatibility in P3 areas is provided.
- advice provided regarding drainage management
- Neerabup groundwater management sub-area has reached sustainable groundwater allocation limits. New well applications are therefore unlikely to be approved. Groundwater required for new development would therefore need to be purchased or leased from existing license holders in this sub-area.
Conclusion
The Draft NIASP is considered to be satisfactory for advertising, subject to a number of modifications being first made to it, and to a number of other issues being further addressed by the applicant during the advertising period, and by the City during the course of consideration of submissions received.
Statutory Compliance
Under clause 9.4.1 (b) of DPS2, Council may, in the exercise of its discretion to determine that the Structure Plan should not be advertised until specified matters have been included in it or have otherwise been attended to by the proponent.
It should be noted that Clause 9.4.2 of DPS2, provides that if within 60 days of receiving a Structure Plan, Council has not made a determination pursuant to Clause 9.4.1, the proponent may deem that Council has determined that the Structure Plan should not be agreed to. (The Structure Plan was received on 14 January 2002). Although the 60 days has expired, the proponent has advised it is prepared to await Council’s decision.
The City of Wanneroo has a major commercial interest in the Structure Plan however the Council is not required to disclose a financial interest in this matter as the provision relating to financial interest in the Local Government Act 1995 relate purely to Elected members and Staff. Council will however need to mindful of the implications of the National Competition Policy.
Strategic Implications
Progression of this Draft NIASP is consistent with a number of initiatives under the City’s current draft Strategic Plan:
“3. Economic Development
To maximise opportunities for balanced economic growth and development within the City. …
3.2 Identify, support and respond to the needs of existing and new industries: …
· Facilitate the provision of suitable land and infrastructure. …
3.3 Encourage the employment of growth within the community: …
· Pursue a diversity of employment opportunities.”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Finalising this Structure Plan and its associated implementation mechanisms will entail costs to the City, however these should be able to be recouped through the developer contribution arrangement proposed to be introduced.
This Draft also holds financial implications for this City as a landowner in the area concerned, however this aspect will be more appropriately addressed at the time that the City considers the Draft, specifically from a landowner perspective, at the time the Draft is advertised.
Voting Requirements

Recommendation
That Council:-
1. Pursuant to Clause 9.4.1 of City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2, DETERMINES that the Draft Neerabup Industrial Area Structure Plan dated January 2002 and submitted by Taylor Burrell on behalf of LandCorp should not be advertised until the following matters have been included in it or have otherwise been attended to by the proponent:
a) Provision 3.0 of Part 1 of the Structure Plan being modified to introduce the degree of flexibility regarding compliance with future levels proposed under section 6.2.2 of Part 2;
b) Part 1 of the Structure Plan including a provision (to this City’s satisfaction) stipulating the separation distance required between mining levels and the expected maximum water table level;
c) Part 1 of the Structure Plan including a provision to ensure implementation of the recommendation contained in section 10.3.6 of Part 2, concerning liaison of owners with CALM to develop management and/or preservation strategies in the event that priority or threatened species are located;
d) Part 1 of the Structure Plan including a provision to ensure adequate disclosure of liability regarding the leachate plume emanating from the old Pinjar Tip Site;
e) Part 2 (section 5.21) being corrected regarding its reference to the future of the Australian Touring Car Championship at Barbagallo Raceway;
f) Part 1 of the Structure Plan including a provision to ensure implementation of the Department for Environmental Protection’s advice regarding the need for exemptions to be applied for, seeking variation of assigned noise levels under the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997;
g) Part 2 of the Structure Plan being modified to reflect the current proposal for a temporary access road to be provided to Barbagallo Raceway from Mather Drive;
h) The Structure Plan including a plan which shows proposed road junction points from Flynn Drive to the areas south of Flynn Drive;
i) The Structure Plan including information which demonstrates that the proposed major central roundabout can be constructed in a manner which satisfies all relevant technical standards and requirements;
j) Section 4.5 of Part 2 of the Structure Plan being modified to refer to the proposed Perth Underground Water Pollution Control Area (UWPCA) rather than the Gnangara UWPCA;
k) Part 1 of the Structure Plan including a provision requiring that Service Concept Plans be prepared following approval of the Structure Plan, and prior to subdivision and development of the NIA, and that the preparation of those plans be a Cell Work under the developer contribution arrangement for the NIA (with Figure 10.1 in Part 2 also being modified accordingly);
l) Part 1 of the Structure Plan including a provision requiring that the Design Guidelines and Landscape Master Plan (recommended in section 10.3.1 of Part 2) be prepared following approval of the Structure Plan and prior to subdivision, and that the preparation of those plans be a Cell Work under the developer contribution arrangement for the NIA (with Figure 10.1 in Part 2 also being modified accordingly).
2. Once the matters referred to in 1. above have been satisfactorily addressed, ADVERTISES the Draft Structure Plan (with the necessary modifications) under the provisions of clause 9.5 of City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2;
3. REQUIRES the applicant to provide advice to the City for further consideration on the following matters during the course of advertising of the Draft Structure Plan:
a) Whether some form of cooperative arrangement between owners may be required to reconcile significant cut required on the central part of the subject land, with significant fill required on the eastern areas;
b) Whether a more thorough level of assessment of karst issues (and related fauna) should be undertaken at an earlier stage of the planning and development process, having regard for the approach adopted on this subject for the Yanchep and Two Rocks areas through the Minister for the Environment’s statement relating to that area;
c) The outcome of flora and vegetation surveys to be undertaken as recommended in Section 5.4.3 of Part 2. (These surveys are considered to be best undertaken at the present stage of planning of this area, so that the Structure Plan, particularly its levels planning, may effectively respond to the outcomes of these surveys).
4. GIVES FURTHER CONSIDERATION to the following matters at the time it considers submissions received following advertising of the Draft Structure Plan:
a) The Draft Structure Plan’s recommendations regarding memorials on title of new residential lots created to the south of Flynn Drive, and a Regional Factor being applied for under Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations, in respect to noise impacts on the area south of Flynn Drive;
b) The implementation mechanisms related to this project, including possible new provisions required for inclusion into District Planning Scheme No. 2, the determination of Cell Works and how their cost is to be apportioned, and the estimation of the cost of those works.
c) Whether the Draft’s proposal regarding use permissibility in the Business Precinct is the best way of enabling shops to be approved within this Precinct.

Issue
Adoption of the Revised East Wanneroo Cell 4 Local Structure Plan (Hocking/Pearsall), incorporating modifications requested by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and other minor changes.
Applicant |
City of Wanneroo |
Owner |
Multiple |
Location |
Bounded by Wanneroo Road, Elliot Road, Lenore Road and Ocean Reef Road |
Site Area |
393.72 hectares |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Urban Development / Residential / Special Residential |
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 occasions previously.
The Joint Commissioners, at their 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 4 (refer Attachment 1) and resolved to adopt Part 1of 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 required by the WAPC can be summarised as follows:
Revisions to Land Valuation and Infrastructure Contributions
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 4.
Amendments to the Zoning Map
There is a need to remove the Buffer Precinct on the zoning plan around the former turkey farm on Lot 53 Wyatt Road, which was not operational upon gazettal of DPS2. The modifications of the ‘Buffer Precinct’ as it relates to Lot 39 Mary Street is also required to reflect the reduction granted by the WAPC via the subdivision approvals dated 23 December 1997 (WAPC reference 104705), 13 September 1999 (WAPC reference 111049) and 27 October 1999 (WAPC reference 109793)).
Modifications to the Structure Plan Map, addressing
· The word ‘Revised’ being replaced with the word ‘Agreed’ in the title of the Structure Plan Map;
· Consistency between the Structure Plan and recent subdivision approvals, development approvals, new houses and the poultry farm buildings at Lot 28 Kemp Street, which have been removed;
· Inclusion of several additional R30 and R40 sites;
· 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;
· Those lots along Wanneroo Road (south of East Road) being coded R10/R40;
· The row of Special Residential lots along Lenore Road in the southern portion of the Cell being deleted and the land included within the Residential Precinct.
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) Inclusion of a ‘Special Zone’ at Lot 50 Mary Street, based on previous Council approvals for use of the site as a vet and service station / convenience store;
b) Introduction of additional POS within the Cell.
c) Modifications to the alignment of Lenore Road.
d) Modifications to the proposed street layout within the Cell.
The City is also 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.
Modification of the Buffer Precinct Provisions
There is a need to modify the Buffer Precinct provisions to refer to the Commission’s Statement of Planning Policy No. 5 – Poultry Farms and details of the use requiring the buffer.
Modification of Clause 4.4
Clause 4.4 – ‘Special Residential Zone’ to be modified to refer to the ‘Special Residential Precinct’ as per the Zoning Plan.
Modification of Provision 4.3
Provision 4.3 to be modified to insert the words ‘for the land included in the Centre Zone’ between the words ‘a Structure Plan’ and ‘has been prepared’.
The Inclusion of Environmental Provisions
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 in nearby significant wetlands, including potential surface water contamination.
Consultation
The LSP has been modified largely as a result of the requests of the WAPC. There have also been minor adjustments made as a result of subdivision approvals granted by the WAPC. Other variations generally relate to modification of the proposed street layout. No major modifications to landuse locations are proposed in the revised LSP. On this basis, it is appropriate that the proposal is 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 4 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 4 LSP were based on valuations undertaken in 1996/97 and therefore have required review. 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 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 open space sites and road widening, range between $260,000 and $400,000 per hectare. An average rate of $320,000 per hectare has been recommended.
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 landowners.
If $320,000 is adopted as the base rate per hectare and a solatium allowance of 10% ($32,000) is applied, the average estimated net value for the cell purpose land is $352,000 per hectare.
The total estimated value of the public open space in the cell is $12,524,579, which equates to $3,410.77 per lot. The total estimated value of the land acquisition for road widening purposes is $4,541,449.
When factored into the overall cell costs, the total cell cost estimate is $20,559,530 and an infrastructure cost per lot (ICPL) of $5,526.31.
Amendments to the Zoning Map
The zoning plan has been modified at the request of the WAPC (refer Attachment 4). The turkey farm at Lot 53 Wyatt Road has ceased operation, and significantly, was not operational upon gazettal of DPS2. This means that the farm does not have non-conforming use rights. As such, the deletion of the buffer around Lot 53, and the introduction of the ‘Residential Precinct’ in this area are appropriate. Also, as requested by the WAPC, the Buffer Precinct associated with the existing Egg Farm on Lot 39 Mary Street, Pearsall has been reduced to reflect the subdivision approvals issued for the land to the north (WAPC references 104705, 109793 and 111049). In this regard, the applicants have received endorsement by the Department of Environmental Protection to reduce the buffer, where the impact of the operation is considered to be minimal. The Buffer Precinct (which is incorporated into the LSP Zoning Map) has been modified to reflect this approval and introduce the ‘Residential Precinct’ over the balance land.
The ‘Special Residential’ Precinct along Lenore Road has been deleted, in accordance with the WAPC’s recommendation. This land has been incorporated into the ‘Residential Precinct’.
The ‘Special Residential’ precinct on the northern boundary of the Cell has been expanded west into Lot 22 Elliot Road and east into Lot 25 Elliot Road. This proposed ‘Special Residential’ precinct provides a buffer between the urban area of Cell 4 and the existing special rural area to the north.
Modifications of 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) Subdivision and Development Approvals
The structure plan has been modified to reflect all subdivision and development approvals within the cell. The poultry farm buildings at Lot 28 Kemp Street have been deleted from the Structure Plan.
The revised LSP design has taken into account all houses that have been built since the plan was last advertised, through the assessment of aerial photography of the structure plan.
c) Modifications 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 that would achieve improved permeability and legibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. The modifications were required primarily to achieve more sufficient lot module depth between subdivisional roads and to reflect / integrate with approved subdivisions (which represents approximately 40% of the Cell’s developable area).
d) 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 to medium and higher density living.
e) Recoding of lots along Wanneroo Road
Those lots along Wanneroo Road, south of East Road, have been recoded R10/R40, in accordance with the requirements of the WAPC. The R40 coding will apply when the newly subdivided lots gain access from the internal subdivisional roads (but not Wanneroo Road) and satisfy the relevant design criteria included in the Structure Plan.
Special Zone at Lot 50 Mary Street
Council previously considered this matter at its meeting of 12 June 2001 (Item W199-06/01). At this meeting, Council resolved to support a modification to the LSP, to identify Lot 50 (154) Mary Street as a Special Zone (Restricted Use) Veterinary Establishment and Convenience Store. These modifications were considered to be minor in nature and reflective of current Development Approvals for the site.
Minor POS Additions within the Cell
Minor variations have been made to the POS provisions throughout the Cell. These changes have been necessitated through the amendments to road design throughout the Structure Plan area. Where possible, POS provisions in the revised Cell 4 LSP are in accordance with the previously advertised LSP, however as the proposed road layout has changed as part of the Plan review, minor modifications have been made to the POS areas, where required. Importantly, no POS areas have been introduced to lots which previously had POS provision allocated to them.
Modification to the Lenore Road alignment
In the Metropolitan Region Scheme, Lenore Road is zoned ‘Rural’ while under the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2, Lenore Road is zoned ‘Rural Resource’, ‘General Rural’ and ‘Urban Development’.
The revised LSP incorporates the latest alignment design for Lenore Road. When constructed, Lenore Road will be a major north-south distributor road, providing a connection between the Cell 4 area and Ocean Reef Road and Hartman Drive. Under the North-West Corridor Structure Plan (March, 1992), Lenore Road is classified as a Regional Road. Given this, and considering Lenore Road’s role in the road hierarchy of East Wanneroo, it is appropriate that Council resolves to request that the WAPC resolve to initiate an amendment to the MRS to reserve Lenore Road an ‘Other Regional Road’ reservation.
The City’s review of the Lenore Road alignment has concluded that access to the future Lenore Road from within the Cell 4 area be restricted to Elliot Road, Nicholson Road and Kemp Street.
Modifications to Street Layout Design
The revised plan has necessitated a review of the layout of several portions of the Cell 4 LSP area. These modifications have been required to ensure coordination with current subdivision approvals, coordination with revised regional road requirements, and the provision of more easily developable lot modules. The main areas of design modifications have been north of Elliot Road and south of Mary Street. It is considered that these proposed modifications are suitable and will facilitate quality urban development in the Hocking / Pearsall localities, whilst also meeting the strategic objectives of the East Wanneroo Structure Plans.
Statutory Compliance
Under the provision of Sub Clause 9.6.3 (c) of DPS2, the City shall make the modifications requested by the WAPC and resubmit the LSP to the WAPC.
Strategic Implications
The adoption of this LSP will provide the planning framework for the future development of East Wanneroo Cell 4. This is consistent with objective 2.6.1 of the Draft Planning and Development Directorate Strategic Plan.
Policy Implications
Nil.
Financial Implications
The revision of the ICPL as a result of the land valuations will impact upon the Cell Costings and financial modelling for Cell 4. This revision and its implications will not impact on any other aspect of the City’s operation.

MRS Zoning |
Industrial & Rural |
Background
The preparation and on going assessment of the East Wanneroo Cell LSP’s 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 Joint Commissioners at their meeting of 28 September 1999 (W361-09/99) considered the East Wanneroo LSP’s 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 8 (refer Attachment 1) and resolved to adopt Part 1 of the structure plan subject to modifications (refer Attachment 2).
Detail
The modifications requested by the WAPC are summarised below:
Revisions to Land Valuation and infrastructure contributions
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 square metre of nett developable land for Cell 8.
The inclusion of Environmental Provisions
The WAPC requested that environmental provisions relating to Amendment No 773 to the City’s former Town Planning Scheme No 1 be included (where appropriate) within the LSP. These provisions relate to soil contamination and associated remediation, the protection of sensitive nearby uses from the impact of industrial development and surface water drainage.
Modifications to the LSP design
The WAPC also requested the LSP be modified to reflect recent subdivision approvals, to include reference to Bush Forever Site 463 (in the north eastern portion of the Cell), to increase the width of various existing roads to 25 metres, amend the title to reflect the agreed status of the LSP and to amend its boundary to reflect the Industrial zone boundary in the Metropolitan Region Scheme (the land at the south east corner of Gnangara Road and Hartman Drive).
Consultation
As the required changes are considered to be minor modifications which do not alter the intent of the LSP, it is not recommended that the LSP be further advertised. Clause 9.7 of DPS2 provides that advertising may be waived in these circumstances.
Comment
Revisions to Land Valuation
In January 2002, the City commissioned the independent valuation firm of Egan National Valuers (WA), which had given valuation advice previously in the cell, 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 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 are to be acquired is included in the estimate of cell costs for the purpose of establishing the infrastructure cost per square metre (ICPM2).
The new alignment for Hartman Drive between Gnangara Road and Luisini Road is a cell cost. It forms the boundary between Cell 7 (service industry and business) and Cell 8 (general industry) and the cost of acquisition and construction is to be shared equally between the cells. The valuer advises a rate of $265,700 per ha, which includes a 10% solatium allowance. The total cost of the new alignment is estimated at $1,063,000 which is slightly lower than the previous valuation estimates. However, the valuer does advise that the current estimates are based on indicative values and costs only and more detailed analysis when information becomes available could indicate stronger values. Under these circumstances it is appropriate to maintain the previously advised rate of $275,000 per ha, which includes a 10% solatium allowance.
The same rate can be applied to the Ocean Reef road alignment.
The aggregate of these values is $5,781,508. When factored into the overall cell costs they result in a total cell cost estimate of $10,701,953 and an infrastructure cost per square metre (ICPM2) of $5.56.
The inclusion of Environmental Provisions
The WAPC requested that environmental provisions relating to the City’s former Town Planning Scheme No. 1 be included within the LSP. These provisions relate to issues of soil contamination and associated remediation, the protection of sensitive nearby uses from the impact of industrial development and surface water drainage.
It is considered appropriate that relevant conditions be included in the statutory component of the LSP to address this matter (refer Attachment 2).
Modifications to the LSP design
The modifications requested by the WAPC are considered minor and there is no objection to them being undertaken. The revised version of the Structure Plan has been included as Attachment 3.
Sydney Road Wetland
In regard to the Sydney Road wetland situated at the eastern end of the LSP area it is noted that the City undertook a detailed assessment of the wetland to arrive at a suitable zoning. The study concluded that the most appropriate zoning would be General Industrial subject to the preparation of a management plan in consultation with the Department of Environmental Protection. As the wetland is in private ownership, some of the landowners were requested to initiate an amendment to the DPS2. However, to date they have not responded to this request.
Statutory Compliance

Strategic Implications
The adoption of the LSP will provide the planning framework for the future development of East Wanneroo Cell 8. This is consistent with Objective 2.6.1 of the draft Planning and Development Directorate Strategic Plan.
Policy Implications

Financial Implications
The revision to the cell costs as a result of the revised land valuations will form the basis of the cell costings and financial modelling for Cell 8. This revision and its implications will not impact on any other aspect of the City’s operations.

Consideration of submissions received during the public advertising period in relation to the proposed modifications to the Merriwa Local Structure Plan (LSP).
Applicant |
Taylor Burrell |
Owner |
Caversham Property |
Location |
Part Lots 904, 905, 906 and 907 Baltimore Parade, Merriwa |
Site Area |
44 hectares (approx) |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Residential |
Background
The City received an application from Taylor Burrell Planning Consultants on behalf of Caversham Property Pty Ltd to consider proposed modifications to the Merriwa Local Structure Plan. The application area covers approximately 44 hectares of land and is located north of the existing residential area in the suburb of Merriwa (refer Attachment 1).
Council initially considered the application at its meeting on 6 November 2001 (Item No. PD13-11/01), and resolved to publicly advertise the proposed modifications for a period of 42 days.
Following the initiation of public advertising the applicant submitted a revised plan at the request of City officers, which now forms the basis for consideration of LSP modifications (refer Attachment 2).
Detail
The applicant is promoting the modification to the LSP, in part, as a result of the Education Department advising that it no longer requires a planned 4 hectare (ha) public primary school site.
The application proposes the following main elements:
1. A reconfiguration of the central area land uses.
2. The introduction of residential lots where the existing LSP shows public open space (POS).
3. The relocation of the displaced POS to a site adjacent to the private primary school site.
4. An additional 330 lots (approximately) in the north-eastern portion of the LSP area generally consistent with the existing LSP.
The central area (bounded by Dalvik Avenue, Baltimore Parade and Seagrove Boulevard) was originally identified as a central community node of approximately 12 ha, consisting of a private primary school (2 ha), public primary school (4 ha) and POS (6 ha). Given that the 4 ha public primary school site has been deleted, some modification to the LSP is required to replace the primary school with an alternative use.
The applicant has suggested that the separation of the POS area into two separate reserves (south and north) promotes a more equitable distribution of POS and is in accordance with agreements previously made between the private primary school, the Education Department and Smith Corporation (the previous developers).
At Council’s meeting on 6 November 2001, a number of issues were identified as requiring additional information prior to final adoption of the LSP. The additional information included:
1. A vegetation assessment of the site.
2. An ethnological and archaeological assessment of the site.
3. Detail of the proposed pedestrian/cyclist network.
4. The identification of appropriate bus stop locations.
5. A demonstration of the accuracy of the projected traffic volumes.
6. Engineering justification and documentation to enable proper assessment of the downgrading of Connolly and Lukin Drives.
7. The location of any future school-in-houses sites.
An assessment of each of these items is outlined in the comment section of this report.
Consultation
Public advertising was carried out in accordance with the provisions of part 9.7 of the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2 and involved the erection of two advertising signs on the site (in prominent locations), letters to approximately 60 residents directly overlooking the application area (Baltimore Parade and Dalvik Avenue) and an advertisement in the Wanneroo Times newspaper. The advertising period was 42 days and concluded on 5 March 2002.
At the conclusion of public advertising, 37 submissions objecting to the proposal and 1 submission supporting the proposal were received. A 314 signature petition objecting to the proposal was also received. All submissions and the petition signatories have been identified as being located within a 1 kilometre radius of the application area. A copy of all submissions received has been placed in the Councillors reading room. A summary of the main points of objection and a response to each is outlined in the following table.
Point of Objection |
Frequency of Point Raised |
Response |
Loss of Amenity by introducing residential development into an area previously identified as Public Open Space |
27 |
Consideration for the loss of amenity to existing residents represents the greatest objection to the proposed modifications. The public consultation period for structure planning amendments enables Council to give due consideration to amenity concerns. However it should be noted that the structure planning process is, by its very nature, intended to be a flexible mechanism for land settlement patterns to respond to changing market demands, planning philosophy and other factors affecting development. Whilst the relocation of the POS to the northern portion of the site is not considered to be a significant decrease in the standard of amenity that could otherwise be expected within a residential area, consideration must be given to the expectation that residents have previously gained from the identification of the POS in both the City’s LSP and the developers marketing of the site. |
Not enough POS in the area |
16 |
The applicant generally has an obligation to provide 10% POS within the locality and has submitted a schedule demonstrating this. City administration is satisfied that the schedule is generally acceptable and consistent with the Western Australian Planning Commissions DC Policy manual and other state policy.
|
Negative impact on the native Flora and Fauna |
3 |
Refer Comment section of report.
|
Contrary to council’s previous advice on landuse. |
1 |
The City provides the best information available to the public in good faith, and is not bound to the detail of the information distributed when variations have been considered through established processes. Until such time as an amendment has been adopted, the approved Local Structure Plan is the guide for all future development in a locality. It needs to be recognised that the structure plan modification process involves public consultation to ensure public awareness of proposed changes and opportunity for the public to comment on proposals.
|
Not enough Public consultation |
3 |
Public notification was carried out in accordance with the provisions of part 9.7 of the City’s District Planning Scheme Number 2 and involved the erection of two advertising signs on the site (in prominent locations), letters to approximately 60 residents directly overlooking the application area (Baltimore Parade and Dalvik Avenue) and an advertisement in the Wanneroo Times newspaper.
|
Potential drainage problems |
1 |
The applicant has provided conceptual detail on the ultimate drainage management within the POS area. All previous LSP’s have identified a drainage sump within the POS area. The current detail reduces the size of the sump from 7000 m2 to 4000 m2 and incorporates gross pollutant traps before releasing excess water during storm events into the existing park. This latest concept represents a more effective use of the POS area and effective techniques for storm water management within the area of POS.
|
Increased traffic volumes and impacts on road safety. |
5 |
The traffic generation assumed for the Merriwa subdivision is in the order of that forecast by MRWA in its transport modelling for the arterial road network. The ultimate volumes appear within acceptable levels for distributor roads with a 7.4 metre pavement as identified on Dalvik and Baltimore Parade. |
Decrease in property values |
3 |
The submission did not provide any evidence to substantiate a reduction in property value would occur as a result of the LSP modification. |
Impact on local commercial centre by the reduction in traffic volumes along Baltimore Parade. |
1 |
The applicant has indicated that the traffic projections included in the Structure Plan document are incorrect. Revised projections have been submitted, and are being reviewed by the City’s Traffic Engineer for confirmation of the ramifications for existing commercial centres.
It should be noted that the existing commercial centres are locally based, and originally created to service a local catchment within the Merriwa locality and not primarily dependant upon passing trade. |
Comment
Vegetation Survey
The applicant engaged ATA Environmental to carry out a vegetation survey of the LSP area. This report identified that the vegetation on the site was extensively degraded by the impacts of land clearing and weed invasion. The remaining native vegetation is typical of the Spearwood Dune System and in particular, the Cottesloe-Central and South Vegetation Complex. The vegetation was not considered to be regionally significant and as result the site has not been identified in the State Government’s ‘Bush Forever’ program.
The best quality vegetation on the site was identified as being in the north-eastern portion, near the intersection of Connolly and Lukin Drives. In the report, this vegetation was described as ‘Good’ quality Acacia Rostellifera, where ‘the vegetation group has been significantly altered by very obvious signs of multiple disturbance but retaining the basic vegetation structure or ability to regenerate’.
The City explored the opportunity of retaining the good quality vegetation within the north eastern portion of the LSP. Constraints associated with the coordination of the future residential lot levels and Connolly Drive/Lukin Drive, combined with the steep grade of the land compromise any reasonable opportunity to preserve the remnant vegetation within this area.
Ethnographic and Archaeological Survey
The applicant engaged R O’Connor to prepare a report on Ethnographical significance, and G Quartermaine to report on the Archaeological significance of the subject area. The studies were carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 and involved the investigation of the site through site visits, research and consultation with Aboriginal people.
The recommendations of these reports indicate that the development may proceed, however it was noted through consultation with the Aboriginal people that a large portion of the development area had already been predominately cleared of vegetation and levelled before the survey took place and that had there been any Aboriginal sites, they would have been destroyed in advance of the consultative process and survey. It was also noted that any archaeological material that is uncovered as a result of the development should be immediately reported to the W.A Museum and that the proponent take adequate measures to inform project personnel of this requirement.
Pedestrian Cyclist Networks
The applicant has provided a proposed footpath/dual use path plan in support of the LSP. No on road facilities have been identified in the proposal which is consistent with the pedestrian/cyclist movement system already developed for the Merriwa locality. The proposed network is considered to be in accordance with current policy and integrates well with the existing network.
Identification of Bus Stops
The applicant has liaised with Transperth to resolve the requirement for identifying bus stops within the LSP area. It is apparent that Transperth have not adequately completed any thorough investigation into the ultimate routing and design consideration for bus movement systems in the area. Whilst Transperth has provided indicative locations for bus stops, it is considered to be premature to formalise these locations in the LSP until Transperth (whom will undertake its own passenger demand analysis) has formulated an overall strategy.
Traffic Volumes
A revised traffic report prepared by Klyne’s Consulting has recently been submitted to the City for assessment. Discussions on the report are underway between the City’s Technical Services and Klyne’s although, at the time of writing this report, had not been finalised. Whilst it is anticipated that no changes will result from the assessment of this information, any variations can be accommodated through a subsequent revision to the plan.
Justification for the Reduction in the Connolly Drive and Lukin Drive Road Widths
The ‘downgrading’ of Lukin and Connolly Drives to accommodate a lesser road reserve is not considered to be appropriate at this time and may ultimately compromise the provision of regional road infrastructure. The traffic figures provided by the applicant cannot be regarded as providing a definitive measure for ultimate traffic volumes along these roads. However, in recognition of the previous subdivision approval for the site, clarification will be sought from the Department for Planning and Infrastructure upon further subdivision applications for the land abutting Connolly Drive.
Schools in Houses
The applicant has liaised with the Education Department with a view to identifying a possible site for a ‘schools in houses’ project. The ‘schools in houses’ program looks at the creation of temporary classrooms in residential buildings to accommodate increased demands on existing school facilities within developing areas. Whilst this facility may not be required (dependent on the timing of construction of the Ridgewood primary school), the applicant has identified a possible location for the ‘school in houses’ within the proposed central residential node.
Summary
Whilst the applicant has addressed most of the issues required by Council to be addressed prior to final adoption of the LSP, the proposal has attracted significant public opposition from local residents in the Merriwa area. A number of concerns have been raised, mainly related to the impact on amenity that the proposal represents for residents living within the vicinity of the existing public open space area.
Council has also been presented with a 314-signature petition, signed by local residents opposing the proposed amendment. This petition was tabled at Council’s meeting of 19 March 2002 and demonstrates considerable public opposition towards the proposal.
During negotiations with the applicant over the proposed modifications to this LSP, the City raised concern over the proposed design. In particular, concerns were raised over the lack of flexibility that would result by fragmenting the POS and the likely community concern that may result from redesigning the central uses.
The level of public opposition that has now resulted confirms the City’s previous advice to the applicant. In view of this opposition and the City’s own doubts over the likely advantages such a change to the POS would provide, it would be inappropriate for Council to support the proposed modifications.
It should be noted that the proposed residential subdivision in the north eastern portion of the application area generally reflects previous subdivision approvals and structure planning. The applicant has indicated that a current land shortage exists within the Merriwa locality and it may need to pursue further subdivision prior to the LSP being finalised. Under the circumstances, this is considered reasonable, provided that it can be demonstrated that the future stages in the north east of the site do not compromise the central area planning.
Statutory Compliance
The application has been pursued in accordance with the provision of Part 9 of District Planning Scheme No. 2 for Amendment or Revocation of an Agreed Structure Plan.
Strategic Implications
Consideration of this proposal is consistent with Strategy 2.2 of the City’s Strategic Plan, which seeks to provide for a cohesive system of integrated land use planning.

Recommendation
That Council:-
1. Pursuant to Clause 9.6.1 of District Planing Scheme No. 2, RESOLVE that the structure plan is satisfactory subject to a revised plan being submitted showing the central POS area as a single large reserve consistent with the current Local Structure Plan for Merriwa;
2. Subject to Point 1 above, SUBMITS the revised Local Structure Plan to the Western Australian Planning Commission for adoption and certification;
3. ADVISES Taylor Burrell that it does not support the proposed modifications to the central area of the Merriwa Local Structure Plan for the following reasons:
a. The proposed modifications do not represent a significant benefit to the residents of Merriwa, and the relocation of the open space will impact on the amenity of residents living in the vicinity of the application area.
b. The proposal represents a significant variation from the originally approved Local Structure Plan, and would be unreasonable for residents who have purchased property in this locality with an expectation that Merriwa will be developed in accordance with the previously approved LSP.
c. The City considers that the provision of a large central area of open space provides greater flexibility for the utility of this reserve.

Issue
To consider pre-funding the upgrading of a section of Dundebar Road, Wanneroo.
Applicant |
Beamish Property Group |
Owner |
Beamish Property Group |
Location |
Generally bounded by Dundebar Road, Steven Street, High Road and Scott Road Wanneroo. |
Site Area |
N/A |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Urban Development |
Background
The agreed structure plan for East Wanneroo Cell 3 came into operation in January 2001. The cell covers an area of 42.42 hectares and has been subdivided and developed to about 78 % of its 406 residential lot capacity. The greater part of the remaining area is owned by a syndicate managed by the Beamish Property Group (refer Attachment 1).
The properties along the entire Dundebar Road frontage of the cell are controlled by the Beamish Property Group. This group is progressively developing its land and has proposed incorporating the upgrading of Dundebar Road into its civil engineering works contract. The cost of acquiring the land for the ultimate road reserve and constructing the full earthworks, one carriageway and all associated structures for Dundebar Road are designated as Cell 3 works under Schedule 9 of District Planning Scheme No. 2.
Part 10 of DPS 2 provides for the pre-funding of cell works by a landowner with the prior consent of Council, in circumstances where it is expedient for the purpose of achieving the objectives of the agreed structure plan.
Detail
The section of Dundebar Road to be pre-funded is the length between Griffiths Road and Steven Street. It is intended to be the subject of a separate lump sum contract to be awarded by public tender, but would most appropriately be carried out in conjunction with the private subdivisional works to be carried out on the Beamish Property Group land.
It is intended that the City will make progress payments as they fall due under the awarded contract subject to it being satisfied with the extent and quality of the work performed. The pre-funding owner is required to maintain itemised records of all relevant expenditure and produce these to the City.
In the event that the cost of the works exceeds the amount originally agreed by Council, Council may accept or reject the additional cost.
Comment
Acceptance of this pre-funding agreement will achieve the construction of Dundebar Road between Griffiths Road and Steven Street considerably ahead of the time it would otherwise be achieved. This will produce a benefit to the local community in the form of an improved road system. The construction of Dundebar Road, either ahead of or concurrent with the Beamish Property Group subdivision, will also alleviate any difficulties in co-ordinating land levels. This will ultimately lead to a reduction in the cost of construction works.
The City is currently reconstructing the rural road section of Dundebar Road between Steven Street and Franklin Road. The prefunding of the section between Griffiths Road and Steven Street will enable completion of the upgrading of Dundebar Road between Griffiths Road and Franklin Road.
Statutory Compliance
The full cost of the acquisition of land and construction of full earthworks, one carriageway and all associated structures for Dundebar Road, between Griffiths Road and Steven Street, is a designated cell work in Cell 3 under Schedule 9 of DPS 2. Authority to enter into a pre-funding arrangement to achieve cell works is contained in clause 10.12 of DPS2.
Strategic Implications
Acceptance of the pre-funding agreement is consistent with Strategy 2.6 of the current draft Strategic Plan which aims to provide and maintain infrastructure to meet the needs of our community. It is also consistent with Objective 2.6.1 of the current draft Planning and Development Directorate Strategic Plan which seeks to ensure an appropriate planning framework for the equitable provision of community infrastructure.
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
The applicant has estimated the construction cost for Dundebar Road will be in the order of $700,000. The current cell account has well in excess of that amount available.
The funds to meet the progress payments under the pre-funding arrangement can therefore be fully funded from the Cell 3 Overdraft Account and there will not be any draw on the City’s municipal fund.
The Cell 3 Overdraft Account funds are raised by the levying of an infrastructure cost per lot against each new lot that is produced by subdivision within the cell. The level of available funds will reflect the infrastructure contributions to be paid by the Beamish Property Group on its staged development and the compensation for public open provision to be paid to it.
The cost of the Dundebar Road works will be determined through the public tender process and will be reported separately to the Council following the tender closing date.

Background
The land is currently zoned ‘Urban Development’. Part 3.14.1 of District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2) specifies that, “The Urban Development zone provides for the orderly planning of larger areas of land or districts in an integrated manner within a regional context, whilst retaining flexibility to review planning with changing circumstances”.
The proposed Two Rocks Northern Precinct Local Structure Plan (LSP) has been prepared as a guide for the future urban expansion of this locality and generally reflects the ‘Enquiry by Design’ (EBD) Workshop held in October 2000. The outcomes report on the EBD workshop has been prepared by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure and was released in March 2002 (copy previously provided to all Councillors).
A further EBD workshop was held from 5 to 8 March 2002 at the City of Wanneroo Administration Centre to contemplate a regional planning framework for the Yanchep Two Rocks area.
It is anticipated that the LSP will accommodate the creation of approximately 1500 residential lots (approximately 4,500 people) consistent with the Residential R20 coding, with pockets of R40 medium density residential housing. The principles of design include those embodied in the ‘Community Codes’, however, the design has been based on suggested central community focal points including recreational and community nodes rather than a retail focus. Attachment No. 1 reflects the report previously presented to Council in November and provides additional background information.
Detail
The LSP was prepared in support of a ‘Superlot’ subdivision application submitted to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for consideration. The subdivision application has been subsequently deferred by the WAPC pending consideration of the structure plan.
The LSP was considered by Council at its meeting on 6 November 2001 (PD02-11/01). At this meeting, Council resolved to advertise the LSP and required the applicant to satisfactorily resolve some 18 outstanding issues prior to the final adoption of the LSP.
The LSP was advertised for a period of 42 days between 30 November 2001 and 11 January 2002. Advertising was undertaken by way of two advertising signs on the site (in prominent locations), letters to approximately 350 residents, an advertisement in the Wanneroo Times Newspaper and a public forum held at the Phil Renkin Centre on 4 February 2002 (attended by approximately 120 members of the public). The advertising process resulted in 19 submissions being received.
Issues Arising from Advertising
The points of concern raised in the submissions and at the public forum, the frequency the issue was raised and a comment on each point is outlined in the following table:
Point of Objection |
Frequency Raised |
Comment |
1. The LSP should better identify, reflect and preserve the natural vegetation on the site.
|
7 |
The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed areas of POS generally accord with the better quality areas of remnant vegetation within the LSP. However it should be noted that further opportunity through the rationalisation of several of the small pocket parks and the introduction of the full 10% POS would provide a better opportunity for the preservation of vegetation within larger areas of POS. It has also been suggested that the exact detail of the proposed areas of POS can only be provided at the detailed design stage.
|
2. Proposed lot sizes are too small and would detrimentally affect the character of the Two Rocks fishing village.
|
13 |
The majority of proposed lots sizes are considered to be consistent with the minimum lot sizes promoted under the Residential R20 coding. The R20 coding is consistent with the existing coding over the Two Rocks Village. Although several small pockets of medium density (R40) housing have been promoted within the LSP, these areas can form the basis for community nodes/focus and have been identified away from existing residential areas. The provision of medium density sites (where smaller lots sizes can be accommodated) is considered to be consistent with the provisions of the ‘community codes’ and established planning policy where a range in lots sizes is promoted
|
3. Super lotting of the subject land provides a ‘quick buck’ for the developers but does not provide any essential infrastructure or gain to the existing or new community (i.e. schools still will not be available for many years).
|
1 |
The City is currently assessing the suitability of the LSP in regard to the absence of local community facilities, shopping facilities etc. and will ultimately require modifications if the applicant cannot demonstrate that these facilities will be provided outside of the application area and within proximity to residential catchments. Ultimately the provision of these types of facilities will be provided in conjunction with the development of the land for residential use.
|
4. Objection to Charnwood Place becoming a through road
|
1 |
Charnwood Place is outside of the application area and although the indicative design over this parcel of land reflects a through road, consideration to the suitability to this connection will be given through subsequent structure planning processes and public consultation relating directly to this area.
|
5. Karst formations located within the application area.
|
2 |
This was one of the issues that the Council required the applicant to resolve prior to the final adoption of the LSP. Refer to point (h) of this report for further details.
|
6. Impacts on groundwater drinking supply and sewer/servicing
|
8 |
The site is within the Perth Coastal Underground Water Pollution Control Area (UWPCA), which is identified as a Priority 3 Public Drinking Water Supply area. These areas are defined to minimise the risk of pollution to the water source and are declared over land where water supply sources need to co-exist with other land uses such as residential, commercial, and light industrial developments. Generally the requirements to protect groundwater within Priority 3 areas are through the provision of appropriate wastewater treatment by the implementation of Deep Sewer to remove liquid wastes away from the Priority 3 catchment areas.
The Water Corporation (WC) is responsible for assessment and implementation of strategies for the removal of liquid wastes. The WC is satisfied that the wastewater strategy proposed for the Two Rocks area is suitable, subject to the resolution of funding and subdivision staging. It is anticipated that the Two Rocks area will ultimately connect to the proposed treatment plant at Alkimos via a main sewer system linked to local pumping stations and gravity sewers. This requirement will ultimately be resolved through consultation with the relevant servicing authority.
The provision of drinking water within the application area shall be determined in consultation with the WC. The WC has indicated that the report prepared by Masterplan generally covers the capability of the Water Corporation’s existing water supply system for the Two Rocks area and the requirements for further upgrade to the existing system to supply the overall northern precinct.
|
7. Appropriate beach access should be provided
|
8 |
Beach access will be considered as part of the Foreshore Management Plan for the Two Rocks area. A Foreshore Management Plan was recently submitted to the City for consideration. Ultimately this foreshore plan will require formal public consultation and be the subject of a separate Council consideration.
|
8. Increased traffic
|
3 |
The projected traffic volumes are considered to be within reasonable limits of local distributor roads. The LSP design has been prepared with consideration for minimising the impacts on existing residents where possible.
|
9. Lack of local employment within the LSP
|
7 |
The applicant has adopted a philosophy within the LSP to remove local community and retail facilities and promote them in the Two Rocks Town Centre area. The issue of economic and employment initiative was a Council requirement which was to be resolved by the applicant prior to the final adoption of the LSP. Further consideration of this issue is made in points (k) and (l) of this report.
|
10. Boat launching facilities should be upgraded
|
7 |
It is considered unreasonable to impose an obligation on the landowner to implement additional or upgrade works on the Two Rocks boat launching facilities in the content of this application.
|
11. The important ridge should be preserved
|
9 |
The LSP identifies the preservation of the large ridge. This ridge contains vegetation identified in the vegetation survey plan prepared by ATA Environmental as ‘poor’ quality. The ridge was originally considered and incorporated into the Enquiry By Design workshop for preservation.
|
12. Telecommunication towers should be identified in the LSP
|
1 |
The City’s Policy on Mobile Telephone Base Stations recommends the identification of base stations at an early stage of the structure planning process. However, given the extent of the Tokyu landholding it is preferable that regional consideration to the provision of Telecommunication Towers be made in consultation with the applicant. Consideration for these types of facilities may be provided within this LSP area as part of an overall strategy.
|
13. Unexploded Ordinance
|
1 |
This was one of the issues that Council required the applicant to resolve prior to the final adoption of the LSP. The applicant has since agreed that a provision should be included in Part 1 of the LSP to require that no subdivision or development should proceed until the land has been searched and cleared for unexploded ordinance. In any case, this is a standard subdivision requirement for land in this area.
|
Council’s Conditions on Final Adoption of LSP
Council’s resolution on 6 November 2001 required that prior to final adoption of the LSP, resolution of the following regional/district and local level planning issues will be required. Attachment 2 represents the applicant’s overview of how these issues have been addressed and was submitted to the City at a meeting held with Council officers in late February with further information from the EBD workshop being provided on 19 March 2002. The following comments are made on the suitability of the applicant’s response. Council will note that many of the requirements have either not been satisfactorily addressed or insufficient time has been provided to the City Administration to properly consider the issues. Notwithstanding this, Council will note that this report has been prepared as a result of a request by Tokyu representatives made at meeting held on 7 March 2002 with the City’s Chief Executive Officer and Council staff.
a) Further detail and justification for the location and reduction of the POS from 10% to 8% consistent with the principles of Liveable Neighbourhoods.
The applicant has suggested that a reduction in POS down to 8% was introduced at the Enquiry By Design workshop (EBD) by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, and that the outcomes report embraces the 8% provision within the principles of the Liveable Neighbourhoods.
It is not considered appropriate to consent to a reduction in POS in this instance, as it has not been adequately demonstrated that the criteria in the Community Codes has been accommodated. The Codes suggest that a discount of 2% can be considered where parks are developed to at least a basic level of landscaping including earthworks, grassing, tree planting and irrigation. Given the application is to facilitate the on selling of the land as super lots, the City would have no guarantee that the new landowners would carry out these works to justify this reduction. Further to this, there would be inequities between landowners as to the extent of POS provided within each lot and the costs associated with the required works. On this basis, the reduction in POS down to 8% is not supported.
b) Identification and preservation of remnant vegetation within proposed areas of POS and the specification of the exact land areas of the proposed POS areas (including dimensions to ensure active oval requirements can be satisfied).
The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed areas of POS generally accord with the better quality areas of remnant vegetation within the LSP. However it should be noted that further opportunity through the rationalisation of several of the small pocket parks and the introduction on an additional 2% POS (as mentioned above) would provide a better opportunity for the preservation of vegetation within larger areas of POS. It has also been suggested that the exact detail of the proposed areas of POS can only be provided at the detailed design stage. It is important that the City Administration has the exact dimensions for the purposes of calculating the suitability of POS for active recreation ovals. This information remains outstanding and should be provided along with the other requested variations, particularly as it has already been acknowledged that there is an uneven spread of POS between the proposed super lots.
c) The preparation of a Foreshore Management Plan for the foreshore area between the Two Rocks Marina and the northern boundary of the Local Structure Plan area to comply with ecologically sustainable development principles as recommended by Environmental Australia Standard.
The applicant has recently submitted a Foreshore Management Plan to address this issue, however City Administration has not had the opportunity to properly consider the submission.
d) The preparation of a ‘Drainage Management Plan’ with water sensitive design, minimised impacts on the function and operation of POS and maintenance implications.
A drainage management plan has recently been provided by Cossill and Webley Consulting Engineers, however City Administration has not had the opportunity to properly consider the submission.
e) The identification and provision of Community facilities within the LSP area.
This obligation primarily relates to the provision of local community facilities. The applicant has suggested that the provision of these facilities within the LSP would be detrimental to the growth of the Two Rocks Town Centre. The applicant has indicated that should local community facilities be required within the LSP then they could be accommodated, preferably within the neighbourhood focal points.
Given the uncertainty with the function of the Two Rocks Town Centre area and the substantial time frame expected before development occurs, the local community facilities should be identified ‘up-front’ to ensure that these types of facilities can be provided if ultimately required.
f) Improved pedestrian links to existing residential areas and further assessment of public transport routes to proposed school sites in consultation with the Department for Planning and Infrastructure.
The applicant has suggested that the detail originally submitted as part of the LSP report adequately addresses the pedestrian links and that further consideration to the public transport routes will be made through the EBD workshop project. City Administration has not had the opportunity to properly re-consider the LSP detail and no information regarding public transport routes in relation to the EBD workshop (which was held between 5 and 8 March 2002) has yet been made available.
g) The preparation of a traffic management study that adequately considers the volumes of traffic associated with development outside of the LSP area and rationalisation of traffic volumes identified within the North West Corridor Structure Plan.
The applicant has suggested that the report prepared by ERM Mitchell McCotter, originally submitted as part of the LSP report adequately addresses the local and district traffic issues and that regional issues will be addressed at the EBD workshop. The City’s Technical Services Directorate is further considering the suitability of the original data provided by the applicant in relation to outcomes of the EBD workshop. A number of landuse variations in relation for the land north of the application area have been suggested in the EBD Plan from that previously identified in the design provided by the applicant for the land north of the application area and formed the basis for traffic volume projections. The location of the neighbourhood centres have been varied and may impact on the suggested traffic volumes for local distributor roads with further implications on the most appropriate distribution of school sites etc (which were not considered as part of the EBD workshop). On this basis, further rationalisation of traffic volumes identified in the LSP in regard to the EBD outcome design should be required and further considered.
h) The assessment needed to identify areas of potential karst and future management controls are in place to prepare them.
The applicant has suggested that ATA Environmental has undertaken an additional study of the karstic features within the application area. These additional details have not been provided to date.
The level of detail provided within the LSP report was not considered appropriate to enable a thorough consideration of the likelihood of karstic features within the application area. DPS2 prescribes that further karstic assessment should be considered at the District level of structure planning (which has not occurred) and prior to the finalisation of a LSP. Further to this, DPS2 requires the landowner to prepare a Karst Management Strategy to the requirements of the responsible authority, on advice from the Department of Environmental Protection. This has not occurred and as such, this issue is not considered to be satisfied. To satisfy this requirement the applicant should pursue further clarification from the Department of Environmental Protection as to the extent of works required.
i) Demonstrated measures for controlling off-road vehicle use.
The applicant has indicated that the current methods of preventing off-road vehicle use would be maintained and that future super lot landowners would be included into the current strategies. DPS2 requires that the applicant protects and preserves the regionally significant bushland. The only regionally significant bushland in proximity to the application area is the foreshore area. Tokyu Corporation has been proactive in the controlling of off road vehicle use, however greater clarification on the implementation of these obligations on subsequent land owners is required.
j) The deletion of the eastern most school site from the LSP (affected by the rail buffer).
The applicant has indicated that the eastern school site will most likely not be affected by the ultimate alignment of the railway. This position has been formed on the plan presented at the EBD workshop held in March 2002. The plan presented at the EBD workshop currently has no status and whilst it may ultimately guide future planning, does not justify a variation to this requirement. The Metropolitan Region Scheme and the associated addendum to the North-West Corridor Structure Plan Report for the Yanchep locality identifies the rail line in close proximity to the LSP area, and as such, proper consideration for rail precinct planning, pedestrian/vehicle movement systems into rail stations and the ultimate alignment of the rail line requires further consideration. It should be noted that the EBD is a non-binding process formulated for the investigation of issues and objectives which ultimately will guide, but not regulate the future development patterns of a locality or region.
The LSP should be modified to delete the eastern most school site from the LSP, as reflected in Council previous resolution.
k) The preparation and incorporation of an economic and employment initiatives report to address the provision of employment throughout the structure plan area.
An economic initiatives report associated with the IDEA project was provided to satisfy this obligation. The City’s Administration has not yet had the opportunity to properly consider the submission.
l) The applicant demonstrating that the allocation of land uses has been addressed as part of a district framework and that the City’s support for the LSP will not compromise the effective planning and implementation of district infrastructure/facilities and services including;
i) The location and future provision of Regional Roads
ii) The location and future provision of Recreation and Community facilities and services
iii) Tourism and related land uses and opportunities
iv) Broader Commercial and Employment Strategies.
In regard to the outstanding Regional/District issues, the applicant has provided justification as identified in Attachment No. 2, including a submission from the Chairman of the Saint Andrews Enquiry By Design Workshop, Mr Bill Burrell, held between 5 and 8 March 2002, which is outlined in Attachment No. 3.
The outcomes of the EBD workshop are likely to influence the regional planning required for the Two Rocks/Yanchep locality, which ultimately will be considered and implemented by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI). The DPI has not provided comment in regard to the LSP, however was involved in the EBD workshops.
The EBD plan submitted by the applicant (endorsed by the Chairman of the EBD) has no statutory basis and is not considered to have enough detail to consider that all regional/district issues have been addressed. For example the EBD plan does not address such fundamental elements as the disposition of school sites and district open space. In addition the officers of the DPI attending the workshop prepared a different plan than that produced by the landowners consultants and this may have an influence on the ultimate outcome of the regional/district structure planning for this area.
To accept that all district /regional facilities will be provided outside of the LSP (based on the EBD) at this time and therefore not impact on this area, would not be considered sound planning consideration and a proper planning process.
Whilst the applicant has strongly suggested that it is unlikely that the adoption of the LSP would compromise the provision of regional/district facilities, the fundamental question is whether it is appropriate for the local authority to make regional/district assumptions on the provision of essential infrastructure, educational institutions, regional open space, employment, retail, tourism and transport networks on the basis of the EBD plan.
m) Commitments towards the ultimate development and nature of the Two Rocks Town Centre and surrounding areas.
The applicant has suggested that the Two Rocks town centre is not owned by the Tokyu Corporation and it can therefore cannot commit to its development. The role of the Town Centre area will need to be established with some degree of certainty to enable the consideration of the level of retail and services that will be provided in the centre. Further clarification from Tokyu Corporation is required to establish what commitments the current landowners, the Fini Group, have under the purchase contract to establish this as an important retail/community focus. It should also be noted that the EBD plan now identifies a substantial retail centre approximately 1 kilometre east of the Town Centre which may ultimately result in the down grading of the Town Centre as a substantial node of retail focus. This land is owned by the Tokyu Corporation.
n) Provision of an appropriate mechanism to ensure that future contributions by the owners toward such infrastructure are adequately addressed.
The applicant has suggested that a commitment on super lot purchasers could be made through contractual documents. This process may be acceptable and provide opportunity to transfer current obligations of Tokyu under the Deed of Infrastructure onto subsequent landowners. Further consideration for the detail of the agreement will ultimately be required, however, it is most likely necessary that the City will need to be party to such arrangements to ensure that such commitments are honoured.
o) Provision within Part 1 of the local structure plan to restrict development or subdivision occurring within the subject land until such time as the land has been assessed and cleared for unexploded ordinance.
The applicant has agreed that this provision could be incorporated into the Part 1 provisions of the LSP. This is considered appropriate and is consistent with normal development practice.
p) Clarification from the Department of Aboriginal Affairs as to whether further assessment and preparation of a management plan is required, in accordance with the provisions of the City’s Scheme.
The applicant has not satisfied this requirement. DPS2 requires that a management strategy be prepared at the local structure planning stage to ensure public safety and the protection of biodiversity and cultural values. Although the applicant suggests that no further study is required, the EPA report and recommendations (as prescribed in DPS2) clearly indicate that the Department of Aboriginal Affairs raised concerns in relation to the possibility of further sites within the Two Rocks area.
Conclusion
The City has progressed the implementation of the LSP to this point on the basis that a list of issues be satisfactorily resolved prior to final adoption of the LSP. The applicant has premised the absence of regional /district facilities and infrastructure within the application area on the basis that such facilities can be provided outside of the study area in positions to be determined by the Enquiry By Design workshop and within established/future community nodes.
Whilst the applicant has argued that it is unlikely that the adoption of this LSP would compromise the provision of facilities such as District Open Space, Hospitals, Public High Schools, Community Facilities and Retail, the proper planning at the regional and district level is at its early stages and support for the LSP in the absence of a more defined overall regional/district framework is a significant concern.
Tokyu Corporation should be requested to provide additional information in response to the issues that have not been adequately addressed. The proposed LSP should be deferred until such information has been received.
Statutory Compliance
Pursuant to Clause 9.6.2 of DPS2, where Council is not able to make a decision within the 60 day period prescribed by Clause 9.6.1 of the Scheme, by reason of the need to obtain more information or facts, it may extend the period for the consideration of the structure plan for a further 60 days. The period for a deemed refusal under subclause 9.6.4 of the Scheme shall not begin to run until this period has expired.

Tokyu Corporation |
Location |
Lots 207 and Part Lot 220 Two Rocks |
Site Area |
Approximately 240 hectares |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Urban Development |
Background
The City has received an application by Masterplan Consultants on behalf of the Tokyu Corporation to consider a structure plan over a 240 hectare (approximate) parcel of land located north of the existing Two Rocks residential area (refer Attachment 1). The structure plan has been prepared in support of a ‘Superlot’ subdivision application recently submitted to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for consideration. The subdivision application has been subsequently deferred by the WAPC pending consideration of the structure plan.
Detail
The land is currently zoned ‘Urban Development’. Part 3.14.1 of District Planning Scheme Number 2 (DPS 2) specifies that, “The Urban Development zone provides for the orderly planning of larger areas of land or districts in an integrated manner within a regional context, whilst retaining flexibility to review planning with changing circumstances”.
The proposed Two Rocks Northern District Structure Plan has been prepared as a guide for the future northern urban expansion of this locality (refer Attachment 2). It is anticipated that the structure plan can accommodate the creation of approximately 1500 residential lots (approximately 4,500 people) consistent with the Residential R20 coding, with pockets of R40 medium density residential housing. The principles of design include those embodied in the ‘Community Codes’. The design has been based on central community focal points including recreational and community nodes with some retail abutting the foreshore area.
Regional Context
‘Metroplan’ and the Urban Expansion Policy Statement set the strategic direction for metropolitan growth in the early 1990’s. Structure Plans, to various levels of detail, determine the physical land use arrangements required giving effect to these strategies. In January 1993, the then Department of Planning and Urban Development released the ‘North West Corridor – Structure Plan for Yanchep’ (NWCSP), (refer Attachment 3).
The NWCSP addressed the extent and location of urban land, regional open space, the regional transportation network, the location of major commercial, industrial and other employment areas. It also addressed the location of major regional institutions such as regional hospitals, universities etc. within the Yanchep /Two Rocks Region. The NWCSP formed the basis of rezoning of the land under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) and the City’s former Town Planning Scheme Number 1 (TPS 1).
In 1996, an Omnibus (MRS) amendment set in place the current MRS zoning for the area introducing Urban, Urban Deferred, Central City Area, Industrial and Parks and Recreation Reserves. In May 2000, TPS 1 Amendment 787 was gazetted rezoning large portions of land from Rural to Urban Development, Industrial Development, Centre Zone, Regional Road and reserved areas of regionally significant bushland (later identified as Bush Forever).
Amendment 787 also required an Environmental Review under Section 48A of the Environmental Protection Act. As a result of this, the City’s scheme includes provisions to ensure that more detailed environmental investigations shall be carried out as part of future structure planning at the district and local levels.
Two Rocks Enquiry by Design Workshop
In October 2000, the former Ministry for Planning (MFP) co-ordinated an ‘Enquiry by Design’ (EBD) Workshop where land planning and development options, particularly for shorter term development, were evaluated and ‘work shopped’. Key representatives of the major players in the planning process attended including Council representatives. Because of uncertainty about the future railway alignment and other key regional district planning issues, the workshop focused on the Two Rocks Marina and surrounding area including the subject site (Lot 207 and Part Lot 220).
It is currently anticipated that another EBD workshop will again focus on the land south-east of the Two Rocks area early next year (scheduled for March 2002).
As a result of the first EBD workshop, a conceptual town and neighbourhood structure was designed for the Two Rocks Marina and Lots 207 and Part Lot 200. This design has formed the basis for this structure plan (refer Attachment 4).
Corporate Context
Council and the State Government have been pro-active in encouraging and facilitating the planning and development of the Yanchep / Two Rocks district. This includes the 1995 ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ (MOU) which was signed between Tokyu Corporation, Yanchep Sun City, the WAPC and Landcorp and established a set of agreements for the future development of the district. The MOU was supplemented by the Deed of Infrastructure, which related to Tokyu Corporations obligation to contribute towards regional road construction, land vestings and the provision of social infrastructure.
In July 1999 a Strategic Cooperation Agreement (SCA) between the WAPC, the City, Tokyu Corporation and Yanchep Sun City was signed. The Agreement defines a series of principles and objectives for urban and economic development and established commitments between these organisations.
One aspect of particular relevance is that the City would ‘use its best endeavors to expedite the approval of structure plans and amendments to its town planning scheme for the district, whilst recognising that these are subject to normal statutory processes including public consultation and the outcome can not be guaranteed’.
SCA also included a focus and a commitment from Tokyu Corporation and Yanchep Sun City for the preparation and implementation of the outcomes of the IDEA Project (an acronym for - Innovation, Development, Employment, Applications). The main aims of the IDEA project are to create employment opportunities ahead of residential expansion to allow the area to be as self sufficient as possible in respect to employment of its workforce, rather than it becoming an area of commuter based suburbs whose workforce mainly are employed in the inner regions of Perth (to the south), creating unmanageable transportation problems.
Consultation
Preliminary comments have been received from various government agencies including Education Department of WA, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Planning and Infrastructure, Main Roads WA, Water Corporation and Waters and Rivers Commission. These authorities have raised no major objections (in principle) to the public advertising of the structure plan.
Comment
The consideration of issues in regard to this proposal can be classified into regional/ and local issues. There is considered to be key concerns at both levels of planning which must be addressed during consideration of this application. Significant concerns relate to the absence of a district framework addressing the sizes and distribution of key land uses with important consequences at the local level.
The detailed internal design of the structure plan is based on assumptions and criteria established through the EBD workshop, however, the ‘draft outcomes report’ is yet to be finally endorsed by the WAPC and has no statutory basis. Further, it is not clear at all whether these assumptions relate properly to the wider regional/district framework already established by the NWCSP in the early 1990’s. Should these key assumptions change, then this may significantly impact on the more detailed local structure plan design.
As an example, the structure plan does not, in the main, allocate any commercial / business uses at key road intersections that are the centres of the ‘walkable’ neighbourhoods. Rather, the planning is seeking to create a sense of neighbourhood centre via combinations of higher density housing, POS and roundabouts. The detailed structure plan design (and the allocation of POS in particular) is based on this approach that has some differences to other Liveable Neighbourhood proposals where neighbourhoods often have some retail/commercial or community focus.
The approach itself is premised on the assumption that the Two Rocks Marina and immediate surrounds is to be a major town centre and that the vast majority of commercial and business land uses should focus on the centre. Whilst the Two Rocks EBD workshop identified the Marina as a potential Town Centre, there remains no detailed assessment of the workshop proposals, its district implications, and no adopted district framework for assessment. It should be noted that the Marina area is largely owned by the Fini Group who have no obligation at this time to develop this land as a key town centre.
Many of the local level detailed land use proposals for the structure plan are affected by assumptions made at the broader district level. Should the key district level assumptions change then this will probably require changes to the detailed local structure planning (i.e. POS allocation, areas of higher residential density, commercial floorspace). The following comments are made for local issues in respect to the structure plan with particular emphasis on requirements of Liveable Neighbourhoods applications.
It is important that the applicant demonstrate to the City that ‘Neighbourhood Centres’ based on a mix of higher density residential development/parkland rather than a more retail/commercial focus will be the most effective and beneficial approach.
The following local structure planning issues identify issues that require further consideration and discussion with the applicant.
Public Open Space/Drainage
1. Justification for the reduction in the 10% POS obligation down to 8% through a demonstrated commitment to parkland development, management and locality vegetation enhancement programs.
2. A POS schedule that identifies individual parkland sizes will be required to enable investigation into the suitability and usability of the sites for the nominated use and function.
3. Preparation of a Foreshore Management Plan for the area between the Two Rocks Harbour and the northern boundary of the LSP in conjunction with reviewing the Two Rocks-Yanchep Management Plan, 1997.
4. The POS areas being modified to better reflect the protection of areas of locally significant vegetation.
5. With regard to POS allocation it should be noted that the City’s POS Policy requires that lots to be set aside for active recreation be a minimum of 4.5 hectares. The City does not support the function of the POS lots as entry statements. The City will generally not accept any drainage or battering into foreshore areas as a result of lot or road design levels. It should be demonstrated that the proposed lineal ridge can provide a beneficial contribution towards passive recreation and will not result in inappropriate level differences between proposed adjoining lots and roads.
6. A drainage management plan justifying the drainage philosophy and its location, its impact on POS areas and credit being sought in the POS schedule. These details should be provided to enable an accurate consideration of water management issues and its impact on proposed areas of POS (active and passive).
Traffic and Transportation
The method for charging developer contributions towards Regional Road Infrastructure has been identified in the ‘Deed of Infrastructure Agreement’ and the Memorandum of Understanding between Tokyu Corporation and the WAPC.
The principles of the deed directly relate to the construction of specified sections of District Distributor Road to specific lot development. For instance, the sections of road to be constructed for existing lots 220 and 207 are 50% of Shearwater Avenue from the northern boundary to the future rail reserve and 100 % of Lisford Avenue between Shearwater Avenue and Dame Pattie Drive (Breakwater Avenue).
The agreement will need to be reviewed to ensure that the contributions for existing lots translate to any new lots. This work must be undertaken by Tokyu Corporation in conjunction with the City and the WAPC.
Other specific issues requiring attention are:
1. Identification of Pedestrian/cyclist links not only across the site but also into existing residential areas.
2. Identification of appropriate bus movements adjacent to proposed school sites and LSP.
3. Clarification of the District Public Transport Network in consultation with the Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) and demonstrate that the proposed LSP road hierarchy can accommodate access and movement of vehicles/buses associated with the future developments to the north of the LSP, including detail relating to the future district modeling and the Saint Andrews Access Study.
4. It should be demonstrated that the existing and proposed road network is sufficient to accommodate the potential impact of traffic generated from the proposed mixed business zone and railway station including any road upgrading associated with the development of the LSP area.
5. Clarification of traffic volume variations between the proposed LSP and the NWCSP.
Employment and Sustainability
Under normal circumstances the local neighbourhood centres, mixed-use precincts and other similar areas provide opportunity for employment within the community. The LSP has not identified any opportunity within the LSP area for employment and relies upon the provision of employment initiates within the Town Centre itself. The Town Centre area has been on-sold by the Tokyu Corporation to the Fini Group, who have no obligation under the SCA to implement the outcomes of the IDEA Project.
Clarification by Tokyu as to the status of the feasibility studies to be undertaken under the SCA and in particular in relation to the outcomes of the IDEA project and the local employment generation initiatives is required. This obligation extends to an implementation of the commercial retail strategy for the district and should include the focus on the future provision of retail within the Fini Groups Landholding.
It is critical that a determination about the future of the Town Centre in respect to retail/commercial uses, mixed use, tourism, recreation and community uses be required to determine the status of the Town Centre as a place for employment. It is also important that the applicant prepare an economic and employment initiates report for the study area. These issues should be resolved prior to Council supporting the LSP.
Commercial Strategy
Only concept planning has been undertaken for the proposed Two Rocks Town Centre. It will be necessary to identify the format and landuse allocation across the proposed town centre (i.e. the extent of commercial/business/mixed uses, educational, recreational, tourism or potentially light industrial). The timing and nature of development for the land south of Breakwater Drive (portion of Tokyu landholding) which is shown as retail/business in the EBD workshop is unclear and whilst forming part of the EBD plan, has been excluded from the structure plan (probably due to the uncertainty of the ultimate nature of the proposed town centre development).
Uncertainty surrounding the future of the proposed town centre raises concern as to the planning philosophy of the proposed structure plan. Commercial uses have been all but excluded from the plan to reinforce the future town centre and formal consideration of the proposed retail structure of the centre and the broader district has not been undertaken.
Heritage Issues
The applicant has advised that no ethnographic or archaeological sites of any significance have been identified in the study area.
Although no sites have been identified within this area by the applicant, clarification should be obtained from the Department of Aboriginal Affairs as to whether further assessment and preparation of a management plan is required, in accordance with the provisions of the City’s Scheme.
Recreation, Tourism and Community Facilities
Consideration of regional and district recreation and community requirements and issues. It will need to be satisfactorily addressed in the LSP not to compromise the effective planning for facilities. It should be noted that the two proposed private high school sites and proposed primary school sites could benefit significantly from the provision of nearby district recreation facilities. Opportunities for tourism and associated activities require further consideration at the district level to ensure that the development of this land (which is in close proximity to the coast and Marina) will not compromise the opportunity to promote the Town Centre and coastal areas for tourist activities.
Sites for facilities such as community centres, meeting halls, branch libraries and kindergartens, preschools and daycare centres which are becoming increasingly important for community development have been excluded from the LSP. The Deed of Infrastructure requires that some of these facilities be provided free of cost. Without proper consideration for the requirements for local community facilities these opportunities may be lost. Further investigation into community facilities should be required, as the applicant has suggested that the LSP has been prepared to complement and enhance the existing facilities at the Town Centre by not providing facilities within the LSP area. Given that the LSP could facilitate the ultimate creation of 1500 residential lots (4,500 people) further consideration should be given to the suitability of providing these types of facilities.
Environment
It needs to be satisfactorily demonstrated that the environmental provisions incorporated into the City’s scheme as a result of Amendment 787 have been addressed or will not be compromised as a result of introducing this structure plan. The finalisation of the LSP will be subject to the further investigation of Karstic features and the identification and accurate reflection of locally significant vegetation within POS and other compatible landuses. Further to this, it should be demonstrated that appropriate measures of controlling off-road vehicle use and the dumping of rubbish within the application area have been addressed in the structure plan.
School Sites
The LSP identifies an additional primary school site and two additional private high school sites than were originally depicted by the EBD. The eastern most private school lot should be excluded from the application as it protrudes into the proximity buffer to the railway alignment (subject to variation). The applicant has suggested that the government, in accordance with current legislation should acquire the public school sites. This would contradict the provisions of the Deed of Infrastructure that relates to the provision of Social Infrastructure and requires Tokyu Corporation to provide the sites free of cost to the WAPC. The Education Department has raised no objections to the City initiating advertising of the structure plan, however it was recommended that a secondary school site will be required outside of the application area in a position just north of the application areas northern boundary. It is anticipated that further regional planning and structure planning will consider the most suitable location for these facilities.
Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)
It is likely that portions of the site have been used for munitions training and that UXO may occur within the application area. The applicant has suggested that the required assessment of the study area will be undertaken prior to the commencement of more detailed planning by the land owners and that this responsibility will be included in the purchase contracts and via memorials on title of the proposed superlots.
To date, UXO searches are usually carried out as a requirement of subdivision approval and imposed by the WAPC. In this instance, it is considered to be appropriate to include a requirement into the local structure plan to ensure that this obligation is addressed as a statutory requirement (Part 1 provision) prior to the City considering any development or subdivision of the subject land.
Proposed Superlot Subdivision
The applicant has submitted a subdivision proposal to the Western Australian Planning Commission for consideration and is intended to compliment this structure plan. The subdivision proposal has been deferred by the WAPC pending the consideration of this LSP. The proposed lots represent the fragmentation of the LSP area into 7 areas. Each lot has been identified containing components of the overall LSP including public open space, residential land (various density codes) and several lots with school sites.
This superlot subdivision will fragment ownership of the structure plan area and will make the provision of physical infrastructure more difficult to co-ordinate (i.e. Regional Road contributions, Pedestrian Crossings, District Open Space, etc.) unless an appropriate mechanism is established to ensure that future considerations/obligations of owners are met.
Conclusion
Many of the issues raised can be associated with the absence of a district framework addressing the sizes and distribution of key land use requirements.
It is recognised that this land provides a good opportunity for land release and future superlotting. Many of the fundamental principles of land development need to be addressed at the regional/district levels such as a regional transportation networks (i.e. train), major commercial centres (i.e. Town Centre), employment initiatives, major regional institutions, regional hospitals and universities, district community and recreational facilities. The resolution of these issues may well, in turn, effect detailed planning at the local level.
In this respect, it could be questioned whether it is appropriate to proceed with public advertising of the plan at this time. However, the applicant is confident that the City’s concerns can be satisfactorily addressed and is eager to progress the assessment process. As resolution to the City’s district concerns may take some months, and in the interests of facilitating the process of assessment, it is considered appropriate that the proposed Two Rocks Local Structure Plan be made available for initial public comment.
The applicant should be advised that Council will need to consider the issues raised in this report following the public consultation process. It is expected that the applicant would be able to resolve these issues prior to Council giving consideration to the adoption of the plan following advertising.
Statutory Compliance
The structure plan has been submitted for consideration as a ‘Part 9’ structure plan under the provisions of DPS 2. As such, the applicants are required to prepare the appropriate statutory provisions in the form of a ‘Part 1” document to accompany the explanatory structure plan proposal. Further, it is considered appropriate for the structure plan boundary to be extended to include Tokyu’s land south of Breakwater Drive as far as University Boulevard. While this area may fall within an area of influence buffer to the future railway alignment and a detailed design may not be feasible at present, its inclusion at present would enable a fuller consideration of local structure planning issues within the Two Rocks area.

Issue
To consider a revised proposal to subdivide Lot 1 (119) Ziatas Road, Pinjar, into two lots.
Applicant |
J Bodycoat |
Owner |
K & B Nguygen |
Location |
Lot 1 (119) Ziatas Road, Pinjar |
Site Area |
10.7039 Hectares (ha) |
Proposed Lot Areas |
6.7ha and 4.0ha (approx) |
MRS Zoning |
Rural |
DPS 2 Zoning |
General Rural |
Background
At its meeting on 5 February 2002 (item PD02-02/02), Council considered an application to subdivide Lot 1 into three lots of approximately 6.7ha, 1.9ha and 2.1ha (refer Attachment 1). At this meeting, Council resolved to not support the application 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 15-20 hectares for this locality;
2. Approval for the subdivision may create an undesirable precedent for the further subdivision of other lots of a similar size in the Rural zone in this locality.
Council however recognised the fact that the lot was already bisected by Ziatas Road and therefore also resolved to advise the applicant that it would be prepared to consider an application to subdivide the lot into two lots along the natural boundary of Ziatas Road.
The application was refused by the WAPC on 27 February 2002 for essentially the same reasons as those indicated above.
On 22 March 2002, Council received notice that the applicant had written to the WAPC requesting reconsideration of its decision to refuse the application and seeking approval to a revised proposal to subdivide the lot into two lots, one on each side of Ziatas Road, measuring approximately 6.7ha and 4.0ha respectively. The request for reconsideration is based on the following grounds:
1. The property is already split into two parts by Ziatas Road.
2. Compassionate grounds relating to financial difficulties being experienced by the landowners in establishing their strawberry farm on the western side of Ziatas Road.
3. The City’s advice that it would be willing to consider the subdivision of the land into two lots.
4. The fact that several properties in the area are already smaller than the minimum.
Detail
Lot 1 is approximately 10.7 ha in area and is bisected by Ziatas Road to create two distinct portions, one measuring approximately 6.7ha and the other measuring approximately 4.0ha. The revised proposal seeks approval to subdivide the property along the Ziatas Road alignment (see Attachment 2).
A strawberry farm is currently operated on the western portion of the land and the owners’ house is located on the eastern portion. The majority of the remaining part of the eastern portion of the lot is also covered by native vegetation. As part of a development application to clear the western portion of Lot 1 for the strawberry farm in 2001, the WAPC required the landowners to enter into a restrictive covenant to protect much of the better quality vegetation on the eastern portion of the lot from being cleared.
Consultation
Under the provisions of the Town Planning and Development Act, the WAPC is the responsible authority for determining subdivision applications. This Act does not require the WAPC to advertise subdivision applications.
Comment
Interim Local Rural Strategy
Council’s Interim Local Rural Strategy recommended that Lot 1 be incorporated into the General Rural Zone. This recommendation was implemented when the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2 was gazetted in July 2001.
Water Allocation
The Water and Rivers Commission (WRC) has informally advised the City that Lot 1 currently has a water license for 118,150 kilolitres per annum, valid until October 2003. This water allocation is sufficient for 7.8ha of strawberry farm and a domestic house and garden. The WRC has also advised that Lot 1 is located in the Pinjar sub-area and there are currently no restrictions that would prevent the owners of Lot 1 from either renewing their licence or increasing their allocation.
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), Lot 1 is included in an area rated as low capability land for horticulture (Class 4 and 5).
However, it should be noted that the landowners have established a strawberry farm on the western portion of the lot, indicating that reasonable opportunity exists for this property to sustain horticultural uses.
Planning Control Area 45
The subject land is located within Planning Control Area (PCA45). This control was introduced by the WAPC in 2001 as an interim planning measure, pending the finalisation and implementation of Bush Forever and the Gnangara Land Use and Water Management Strategy proposals, affecting the Lake Pinjar area. PCA45 is primarily an instrument that requires referral of development applications to the WAPC for determination and consequently does not directly affect subdivision applications.
Groundwater / Flooding Issues
The Wetland Classification and Management Plans, prepared by the then Water Authority of Western Australia and EPA in 1993, identifies the majority of the western portion of Lot 1 as a ‘sumpland’. This classification indicates that seasonal inundation may occur with overflow from Lake Pinjar. If the proposal is supported, a flood secure area will be required to the western lot to contain all buildings, effluent disposal systems and driveways. Any effluent disposal systems will also need to be located to achieve the vertical and horizontal distances from the groundwater and adjacent wetland. These matters could be adequately dealt with by a condition of approval and enforced by way of a restrictive covenant and the development approval process.
Statutory Compliance
Under Section 24(5) of the Town Planning and Development Act, an applicant may, within 28 days of being notified of a decision of the WAPC, make a written request for the decision to be reconsidered. In this instance, the WAPC has requested the City’s comments before making a determination on the reconsideration request.
Strategic Implications
Nil.
Policy Implications
The City’s Rural subdivision policy provides that Council may support the subdivision of land to a minimum of 15 to 20 ha in this area, provided there are appropriate controls in place to ensure protection of the groundwater resource and the environmental quality.
Whilst a restrictive covenant already exists to protect much of the better quality vegetation on the eastern portion of Lot 1 and controls could be put in place by way of a further restrictive covenant to ensure appropriate land uses and location of development of each lot, the proposed lot sizes are considerably smaller than the 15-20ha minimum lot size indicated in the policy. In this case however, there are several lots zoned General Rural in the vicinity of the subject land, with sizes down to 3.2ha and Council has already recognised that the lot is bisected by Ziatas Road with the two resultant portions of the lot being developed, and currently operating, largely independently of each other. On the basis of these points, it is considered that a special case exists in respect to this proposal that would warrant Council’s support. As the instance of roads bisecting rural properties are rare in Wanneroo, it is not considered that Council’s support to this proposal would create a precedent for the further fragmentation of rural land.
Financial Implications
Nil.

Recommendation
That Council SUPPORTS the revised proposal to subdivide Lot 1 (119) Ziatas Road, Pinjar, into two lots as submitted by Mr J Bodycoat on behalf of K and B Nguygen, subject to the following conditions:
1. The preparation of a Management Plan, implemented by way of a Restrictive Covenant under Section 129BA of the Transfer of Land Act in favour of the City of Wanneroo. The Management Plan shall address permitted land uses, the siting of buildings, effluent disposal systems and driveways on each new lot. The Management Plan shall include a site plan that accurately indicates the extent of native vegetation, the maximum estimated water table levels as determined by the Water and Rivers Commission, site contours in relation to AHD, the extent of the wetland and the 50 metre buffer, proposed building envelopes and driveway locations.
2. Both lots being provided with an area of at least 1000m2 and a vehicular access from a public road thereto, located to the satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo at a level which provides for flood protection and the construction of an effluent disposal system with vertical and horizontal separation from both the groundwater and adjacent wetland, in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Authority.

Issue
Consideration of Draft Urban Design Guidelines and a Draft Case Study on the Koondoola Neighbourhood Centre prepared by Taylor Burrell consultants for the City pursuant to its Safer Citizens Programme. Also, consideration of a pedestrian access point (which is currently temporarily closed) between Bathgate Loop and Meldrum Way, Koondoola.
Background
Taylor Burrell consultants was engaged in April of last year to undertake a study in line with Council’s Safer Citizens Programme to:
· prepare urban design guidelines aimed at crime prevention, the intention being that these would be submitted to Council for approval for implementation as a Local Planning Policy under District Planning Scheme No. 2, and
· undertake a Case Study on the application of those guidelines for the Koondoola Neighbourhood Centre.
The consultant has undertaken the Koondoola Centre Case Study in consultation with the local community and the owners of the Koondoola Plaza shopping centre (which forms part of the total Neighbourhood Centre precinct). This has involved a Capeoria Workshop*, two public meetings held at the Koondoola Community Hall, several meetings with the Strata Owner Council associated with Koondoola Plaza, and several briefings to the Safer Citizens Working Group.
*(Capoeira is a Brazilian acrobatic non-contact martial arts set to music. It attracts and engages young people and facilitates their input into workshops which would generally not occur in a more typical public meeting setting).
Detail
Draft Urban Design Guidelines
Several copies of the Draft Guidelines have been placed in the Elected Members’ Reading Room.
The Draft has been divided into a number of sections which relate to each type of urban environment dealt with, being residential, public domain (ie streets, pedestrian access ways, public open space, town squares), centres and industrial areas. An easy-to-use format has been adopted which involves the information being presented in tabular form comprising the following columns:
· Guideline statements applicable to each Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principle (natural surveillance, access control and territorial reinforcement);
· Examples (diagrams);
· Rationale: explaining the reasoning being the policy statements. This is also intended to allow flexible application in instances where the proponent may seek to satisfy the objective of the guidelines through alternative means.
Koondoola Neighbourhood Centre Case Study
Several copies of the Draft Case Study report have been placed in the Elected Members’ Reading Room.
The Draft includes the following information:
· The planning context to the Centre (land use, zoning, policies, standards etc.);
· An overview of CPTED principles;
· An analysis of the residential area immediately around the Centre in terms of ease of access to the Centre and safety of the area generally;
· Overview of the consultation undertaken;
· Improvement plans and strategies for Koondoola Plaza and the Neighbourhood Centre as a whole;
· Preliminary estimate of development costs and revenue.
The Draft (in section 8.0) includes a number of suggestions for improvements which can be made to Koondoola Plaza in the short term and do not involve any radical change to the Centre:
· Windows should be ‘cleaned up’ (unboarded, stripped of excessive overpainting and signage);
· Windows should be refitted with openable shuttering (eg, ‘Rollershutters’);
· Gating into the central square/mall should be installed;
· Gating into the loading area should be installed;
· Landscaping should be ‘cleaned up’ (pruned to remove low tree branches, or to remove eye-level bushes);
· Additional landscaping should be planted;
· Lighting of external areas should be improved;
· Seating and paving should be upgraded;
· Shade structures (in the central square) should be installed;
· Shop fronts should be given a facelift;
· Murals and other public/community art should be encouraged; and
· Activities such as al fresco (or special events) should be encouraged.
The Draft then includes an Improvement Plan for the Neighbourhood Centre as a whole (refer Attachment 1), which includes a number of major changes to the Centre, including:
· Introduction of two housing areas into the Centre to make better use of presently unused car parking area on the shopping centre site, and unused freehold Council land to the east of the Community Hall. This housing would also create a safer environment (eyes on the street), and provide revenue to assist funding of the Centre Improvement Plan;
· A number of new streets being introduced through the Centre;
· The existing Chinese Restaurant building being demolished to make way for one of the new roads, and being rebuilt to the north-east of its present site;
· A town square being built between the Hall and the shopping centre buildings;
· Opening of the road between Bathgate Loop and Meldrum Way (to also facilitate access to proposed new residential lots on the existing sump site which would be relocated to just north of the tavern);
· Possible opening of the road between Bathgate Loop and the community purpose land (just to the north of the Hall).
Comment
Urban Design Guidelines
The Draft Guidelines are considered generally sound and suitable for release for public comment, as a Draft Local Planning Policy under DPS 2.
Upon finalisation as a Local Planning Policy, it is likely that further consideration may need to be given at that time to possible other actions necessary to implement the guidelines, such as amendments to some parts of DPS 2 and some local laws.
Koondoola Neighbourhood Centre Case Study
The Draft Case Study and its suggested Improvement Plan design has been generally regarded as having considerable merit by those who have viewed it to date. As a design, it is therefore considered to constitute a good Case Study to refer to other centre owners/developers for consideration for application to their centres.
The difficulty which the Improvement Plan design presents in the case of this particular Centre however, is that it is presently far from viable. The preliminary costing and revenue estimates which have been provided by the consultant indicate that it would cost approximately $2.94m to develop, but only yield a gross return of approximately $1.48m from the sale of the new residential lots shown.
The Draft was recently discussed with the Strata Council of Owners and their main points were:
1. They were not in a position to make up the significant difference in cost and revenue.
2. They were concerned about the impact such a plan would have on the operation of the Chinese Restaurant.
3. They were, however, keen to still pursue the possibility of participating with the City in some form of Improvement Plan for the Neighbourhood Centre as a whole, particularly to enable some use of the presently unused car parking area, but require the plan to be closer to cost-neutral and consequently to delete some of the expensive items such as demolition and rebuilding of the Chinese Restaurant.
4. They liked the idea of a new east-west road passing along the northern side of the shopping centre.
5. They are already beginning to carry out some of the short term improvements included in Section 8.0 of the Draft (eg. Improved lighting and colour coordination for the Centre).
6. They agree that in light of the present unfeasibility of the Draft’s Improvement Plan design, it would not be appropriate to release this Draft for public comment as previously intended.
It should be noted that this Case Study did present somewhat of a dilemma. On the one hand, it was intended to enable an application of the principles and guidelines recommended in the Guidelines component of the consultant’s study in such a manner that other centre owners and developers could better appreciate the potential of their application. On the other hand, it was desired that the Case Study also be implementable for this Centre. It transpired that a compromise position was necessary, being one which resulted in:
· A design which involved a full application of the relevant principles and would serve as a good Case Study for other centres, but not fully implementable for this particular Centre;
· A design which had the potential to be subsequently ‘trimmed’ to be more feasible for this Centre;
· A range of improvements which could be made in the short term (Section 8.0 of the Draft).
The following course of action is recommended in respect to this Case Study:
1. It be finalised as is (and not be released as a draft for public comment), with a statement being included at its front, clearly describing its status and effect
2. The final Case Study be referred to other centre owners and developers in the district for consideration for application to their centres and proposals;
3. The City continue to work with the Strata Owners of Koondoola Plaza toward a possible revised Improvement Plan for the Neighbourhood Centre (including the Council land) which retains as far as feasible the design principles of the present Draft. This would involve a staged design approach, first developing and seeking agreement upon a broad Concept Plan, and then moving toward a detailed design. Close consultation with the local community will need to be maintained in this process. It will also need to be acknowledged that a significant number of statutory approvals will also be involved, including rezoning under DPS 2, probably Structure Plan under DPS 2, and a Business Plan under the Local Government Act.
Bathgate Loop – Meldrum Way Pedestrian Access Point
At its meeting of 24 October 2000 (Item W320-10/00), Council considered requests it had received for the closure of two pedestrian access points adjacent to the Koondoola Neighbourhood Centre. These access points were not actually PAW’s but rather road reserves which had bollards placed in them to allow pedestrian but not vehicular access through them. The access points were a road from Bathgate Loop to Meldrum Way (proposed closure “A” on Attachment 2) and a road from Bathgate Loop to the Council land, near the Community Hall (proposed closure “B” on Attachment 2).
Council resolved to close off access point “B” by extending the fence of the community purpose site across it (this has been done) and to support a temporary closure of access point “A” for a period of 6 months, at which time the local community would be consulted to determine whether permanent closure should be pursued and road closure procedures commenced under Section 58 of the Land Administration Act 1997.
The temporary closure of point “A” was implemented and City Administration subsequently consulted the local community on this matter. A letter in explanation of the current position regarding the temporary closure, inclusive of a self explanatory form requesting approval or not regarding permanent closure, was forwarded to all the residents of Bathgate Loop and Jolly Court, and to the resident at 35 Meldrum Way located immediately adjacent to the proposed closure. A Prepaid envelope was also provided.
In summary, 11 returns from the sixty letters forwarded were received (ie: an 18% response rate). Of the returns, 7 approve of the permanent closure and 4 disapprove. A summary of the comments made in support of the returns are as follows:
Approve of the Permanent Closure:
· One entry/exit to the estate.
· Better security/safer environment.
· Less disturbances at night as a result of noise, crime, rubbish (cans and bottles) and pedestrian movements from the tavern in particular.
Disapprove of the Permanent Closure:
· The access is a convenient way of accessing by foot the shopping centre, bus stop, other facilities and streets in the immediate vicinity, etc.
· Closure will result in a “box” effect with only one entry/exit for the estate.
A draft report had originally been prepared on this matter in September of last year, however it was decided that it would be preferable to await the outcome of the present consultant’s study prior to reporting to Council.
It may be noted that the Improvement Plan (refer Attachment 1) shows this road reserve as remaining open and providing lot frontage to a number of new residential lots created on the present sump site (which would be relocated as a drainage swale to just north of the tavern).
Although there is some doubt as to whether this element of the design is feasible in terms of cost and some concerns regarding the size of the swale actually required to accommodate the drainage involved, it is recommended that the temporary closure arrangement remain in place (ie that permanent closure not be considered at this time) until the City and shopping centre owners have had opportunity to further examine the planning of the Neighbourhood Centre, to keep all options open at this stage.
Statutory Compliance
In respect to the implementation of the Design Guidelines as Local Planning Policy under DPS 2, Clause 8.11.3 of DPS 2 requires that Council adopt and advertise the Draft for a period of not less than 21 days.
In respect to the possible closure of portion of Bathgate Loop (should Council decide to choose this path), permanent closure of the road reserve can be achieved under Section 58 of the Land Administration Act (LLA) 1997.
In addition to the local resident consultation by mail drop that has already taken place, the City is required, under Section 58 of the LAA 1997, to publish a notice of its intention to consider the closure in a newspaper circulating in the district and to allow a period of 35 days for the lodging of objections. A resolution to close the road cannot be passed until Council has considered any objections received.
Notification of the intended closure must also be given to the public utilities and the Western Australian Planning Commission.
A Council resolution to close the road must be delivered as a request to the Minister for Lands. Copies of all submissions and objections received, and comments on the Council’s decision on them, must be provided to the Minister.
Strategic Implications
The draft Strategic Plan for the City highlights safety and security as a key component contributing to the overall goal of creating healthy communities. Urban design projects that aim to minimise anti-social behaviour relate directly to this goal.
Policy Implications
Adoption of the Urban Design Guidelines would involve the introduction of a new Local Planning Policy under DPS2.
Financial Implications
The undertaking of an improvement plan for the Koondoola Neighbourhood Centre which includes Council-owned land would have significant financial implications for the City. The nature of those implications would become apparent as part of the process of preparation of the Plan, and would be required to be properly scrutinised through the Business Plan procedures which would be required to be complied with under the Local Government Act.

Issue
That Council consider the submissions made as a result of the public advertising period and consider the formal adoption of the City of Wanneroo Private Property Local Law 2001 and the deletion of Clause 5.13 of the Shire of Wanneroo Health Local Law 1999.
Background
The Council at its meeting on 18 December 2001 resolved to:
“That Council in accordance with section 3.12 of the Local Government Act 1995, resolves BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY to:
1. ADVERTISE the proposal to make a local law (City of Wanneroo Private Property Local Law 2001) as set out in Attachment 1 for the purpose of providing for the regulation, control and management of street numbering, fencing, tennis court floodlighting, vehicle wrecking, fibreglassing & Spraypainting, private swimming pool inspections, sand drift, rubbish and litter control, driveways and vehicle crossover gradients generally on private property within the district so as to protect the amenity of the area, and
2. REPEAL the Shire of Wanneroo Private Property Local Law 1998 and clause 5.13 of the Shire of Wanneroo Health Local Law 2001.
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY &
BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY”
The proposed Private Property Local Law was detailed as an Attachment in the agenda of the Ordinary Council Meeting on the 18th December 2001 commencing on page 209.
The proposals were advertised by giving local and state wide public notice as required by the Local Government Act (1995) with the 42-day notice period expiring on 15th March 2002. In addition a copy of the Local Law was forwarded to the Minister for Housing and Works; Local Government and Regional Development and the Minister for Health for comment.
Detail
At the conclusion of the public consultation period, no formal submissions were received from the community.
After receiving information from Australia Post, Council ought to give consideration to further amending the local law to include reference to a letterbox along with the wording “building, fence or gate”. The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that street numbers can be easily identified by users of street numbering systems, eg Australia Post.
The local law provided for public comment stated as follows:
“9.2 (1) The owner or occupier of land in the district shall paint or affix and maintain, to a standard not less than that established by the local government, the current street number assigned by the local government, in a conspicuous place on the front of the building, fence or gate adjacent to the street fronting the land.
(2) A sign painted on a kerb, adjacent to a property used for residential purposes, depicting the house number and in accordance with specifications approved by the local government is satisfactory for the purposes of sub-clause (1)”.
The local law as detailed in the recommendation now states:
9.2 (1) The owner or occupier of land in the district shall paint or affix and maintain, to a standard not less than that established by the local government, the current street number assigned by the local government, in a conspicuous place on the front of the building, fence, letterbox or gate adjacent to the street fronting the land.
(2) A sign painted on a kerb, adjacent to a property used for residential purposes, depicting the house number and in accordance with specifications approved by the local government is permitted.”
A second submission was received from the Department of Health which has suggested several formatting improvements to clarify the title of the local law to reflect the current status of the City of Wanneroo.
Comment
All of the amendments are considered minor and do not affect the intent of the proposed local law. As a result, it is suggested that Council proceed with the formal adoption of the local law without further advertising.
Statutory Compliance
The Local Government Act requires Council to consider any submissions relating to the proposed local law and if the submissions are considered minor, Council may adopt the local law with amendments and without further advertising.
The Local Law is then placed in the Government Gazette and then Statewide public notice of the local law is provided. Copies are again forwarded to the Minister and to the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation who may instruct Council to further amend the local law.
The Local law comes into effect on the 14th day after the day on which it is published in the gazette.
Strategic Implications
The local laws, if adopted, will provide for a greater measure of policing and assist with resolving matters of long running community concern.

Bullcreek Constructition Pty. Ltd. $278,502.00
The value of the proposed work was estimated by the Club to be $142,000.
The Tender Assessment Team comprising the Manager Infrastructure Services, Co-ordinator Building Projects and Manager Leisure and Cultural Services assessed the tenders in accordance with the following evaluation criteria, along with risk assessment and reference checking:
a) price for the Works offered;
b) tenderer’s resources and;
c) tenderer’s previous experience in carrying out work similar to the Works;
Tender key points to note were:
· Tenders were initially invited for this project on 19 January 2002 (Tender No 02233), closing on Tuesday 5 February 2002.
· During the public tender opening, a discussion ensued with a late tenderer regarding the acceptance of his tender and when the 3pm tender closing officially passed allowing the tender to be accepted. The tenderer claimed that by their personal timekeeping it was still 3pm and as such their tender should be accepted. An investigation later that day by the City subsequently verified that the clock on the tender box appeared to have not received the regular paged radio time accuracy signal and was running approximately one minute thirty seconds fast, resulting in the tender box inadvertently being opened earlier than the specified 3pm opening time.
· The tender regulations clearly prohibit the acceptance of late tenders, however given the status of the tender clock, a legal opinion was sought that advised in part:
“……it seems prudent in this case that the City re-tender in these circumstances as the tender process has innocently been compromised because of the inaccuracy of the clock on the tender box.”
· In accordance with the legal advice, the five companies that had submitted tenders (KBE Building Services, Brodun Construction, Southdown Construction, Reward Construction and Mike Thorp-Builder) were formally advised of the decision to recall tenders, provided with a copy of the new tender documentation and invited to re-tender for the works.
· The new tender (Tender No. 02239) was advertised on the 16 February 2002 closing on the 6 March 2002.
· Eight tender submissions were received including new submissions from each of the companies who had tendered previously for the works.
· The lowest and conforming tender was submitted by Emmat Pty Ltd T/as Mike Thorp-Builder.
Key Characteristics of the recommended Tenderer, Emmat Pty Ltd T/as Mike Thorp-Builder:
· Mike Thorp is a registered builder acting under Reg. No. 4076.
· Mike Thorp is a member of the Wanneroo Sport and Social Club and with the support of other contracting club members he has been able to submit the lowest tender.
· The firm’s tender breakdown information is consistent with the prices as presented in the other submissions. The savings in the tender received from Emmat Pty Ltd T/as Mike Thorp-Builder were in the areas of painting, electrical and hydraulic trades.
· Mike Thorp has not undertaken any work for the City and concentrates his building activities mainly within the residential sector of the building industry.
· Mike Thorp essentially operates as a sole trader and is currently completing three minor additions to existing residences.

Issue
Assessment and recommendation for Tender Number 02237 – The Supply and Delivery of One (1) Road Sweeper.
Background
The City’s Road Sweeper, plant number 98763 is used by the Engineering Maintenance Sub Unit to sweep sand and other debris from road surfaces. Plant number 98763 was purchased in 1992 and has a replacement life of ten years and is now due for replacement.
The City’s Plant Replacement Programme recognises that the optimum replacement time for a Road Sweeper is 10 years. On this basis, provision was made to replace plant number 98763 in the City’s 2001/2002 Plant Replacement Programme.
Detail
Tender 02237 was advertised on 2 February 2002 and closed on 19 February 2002.
The Tender Evaluation Team, comprising the Manager Building and Fleet Maintenance Services, Operations Engineer, Engineering Operations Supervisor, Fleet Maintenance Coordinator, Transport Officer and the City’s Fleet Consultant, has evaluated the tenders in accordance with the following assessment criteria as detailed in the tender document.
· Price for the vehicles offered, trade in prices and whole of life costings
· Operational and mechanical evaluation; and
· Delivery period
There were five tenders received for the supply and delivery of a road sweeper with all tenders offering to trade the City’s sweeper. The tender of E J & M Rosher did not include a signed “Form of Tender” as required under the City’s tender conditions. E J & M Rosher’s tender is therefore considered non-conforming and cannot be considered. E J & M Rosher has been advised of its non-conformance.
The following table details the purchase and trade prices offered by each tenderer. The tender specification called for separate prices on a number of options. The purchase price shown includes the cost of those options considered to be beneficial and cost effective and are detailed in Attachment 1.

The Tender Evaluation Team scored each conforming tender against the established criteria and reported as follows:-
1. Price offered, trade in prices and whole of life costings
The Schwarze 6500 mounted on an Isuzu chassis was the cheapest both in terms of net changeover and whole of life costings, closely followed by the MacDonald Johnston 770 Cyclone.
2. Operational and mechanical maintenance evaluation
The City’s Fleet Consultant, Marketing and Transport Consultancy provided scoring sheets of the most critical operational and mechanical attributes to assist in this assessment. The MacDonald Johnston 770 Cyclone scored highest, followed by the MacDonald Johnson 605LT.
3. Delivery period
The delivery times offered were:
Schwarze Industries (both models) |
8 – 10 weeks |
MacDonald Johnston – 605LT |
6 – 8 weeks |
MacDonald Johnston – 770 Cyclone |
10 - 12 weeks |
All delivery times offered are acceptable to the City.
The Tender Evaluation Team scored each conforming tender against the stated criteria. The overall rankings of the tenders based on a weighted score is:
Ranking |
Conforming Tender |
1 |
MacDonald Johnston – 770 Cyclone |
2 |
MacDonald Johnston – 605LT |
3 |
Schwarze Industries – Schwarze 6500/Isuzu Chassis |
4 |
Schwarze Industries – Schwarze 6500/Hino Chassis |
The higher score of the MacDonald Johnston 770 Cyclone in the operational and mechanical maintenance evaluation criteria resulted in it’s ranking as the preferred machine.
Comment
Based on the overall rankings of the tenders it is recommended that the tender from MacDonald Johnston Engineering Pty Ltd for the supply and delivery of one (1) Road Sweeper be accepted on the basis of trading the City’s existing Road Sweeper, plant number 98763 for a net changeover figure of $214,990.
Statutory Compliance
Tenders have been invited and evaluated against the selection criteria in accordance with Section 3.57 of the Local Government Act and associated regulations.

Assessment and recommendation of Tender No 02232 – The Supply and Delivery of Eight Side Loading Refuse Collection Vehicles and Trade/Outright Purchase of Existing Vehicles.
Background
The City’s fleet of side loading refuse vehicles are used by the Environmental Waste Services Business Unit to pick up domestic waste in 240 and 120 litre mobile garbage bins from households within the Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup. Plant number 96592 was purchased in December 1995 and plant numbers 96694, 96695, 96696, 96697, 96698, 96699 and 96700 were purchased in October 1996.
The City’s Domestic Cart Refuse Collection Replacement Programme recognises that the optimum replacement time for side loading refuse vehicles is five years. The refuse trucks have exceeded their optimum replacement time and maintenance expenditure is becoming high to keep them operational. On this basis, provision was made to replace plant numbers 96592, 96694, 96695, 96696, 96697, 96698, 96699 and 96700 in the City’s 2001/2002 Domestic Carts Refuse Collection Replacement Programme.
Detail
Tender No 02232 was advertised on 5 January 2002 and closed on 30 January 2002.
The Tender Evaluation Team comprising the Manager Building and Fleet Maintenance Services, Manager Environmental Waste Services, Fleet Maintenance Coordinator, Supervisor Domestic and Recycling, Transport Officer and the City’s Fleet Consultant, has evaluated the tenders in accordance with the following assessment criteria as detailed in the tender document.
· Price for the vehicles offered and trade in prices if applicable;
· Whole of life costing;
· Delivery programme; and
· Vehicle demonstration and operation assessment
Five tender submissions were received at tender closing with two tender submissions being for the supply of the compactor units only, two of the tender submissions contained eight offers for the supply and delivery of eight side loading refuse collection vehicles and trade of the City’s existing vehicles and one tender submission for outright purchase of the existing vehicles.
The tender by Major Motors offered an Isuzu FVZ1400 Automatic 6x4, which did not meet the tender specification of air bag suspension. Major Motors did however include an option to upgrade to an Isuzu FVY1400 Automatic which includes this suspension and was the model that has been evaluated.
The tender evaluation team scored each conforming tender against the selection criteria appearing in the tender document and reported as follows:-

|
The tender submission by Skipper Trucks to supply an Acco 2350G/250 with a 6x4 rear axle configuration fitted with a MacDonald Johnston 23m3 compactor body offered the cheapest purchase price, with Smith Broughton & Sons offering the best price for the purchase of the existing vehicles.
2. Whole of life costing
The City’s fleet consultant, Marketing and Transport Consultancy, has provided whole of life costing for each of the tender submissions received. The cheapest option in terms of whole of life costs was again the offer of Skipper Trucks for an Acco 2350G/250 6x4 with a MacDonald Johnston 23m3 compactor body.
3. Delivery programme
Skipper Trucks has advised that delivery will take 16 to 20 weeks for the cab chassis plus the body builder’s time. In the case of MacDonald Johnston Engineering the time required for the body build would be 2 to 4 weeks and Wastemaster would require a 4 week body build time.
Major Motors delivery period is stated as 8 to 10 weeks, dependent on the body builder chosen. The City could therefore expect delivery of the complete vehicle and compactor units from Major Motors 10 to 12 weeks sooner than Skipper Trucks. This would have an impact in terms of the additional cost of maintaining the old vehicles for the extra delivery period required by Skipper Trucks, however this is outweighed by the cheaper whole of life costing of the Skipper Trucks offer.
4. Vehicle demonstration and operation assessment
In view of the purchase price and whole of life cost difference between the Acco 2350G/250 cab chassis and Isuzu cab chassis the tender evaluation team requested an Acco 2350G/250 demonstration unit be provided for assessment. Wastemaster and MacDonald Johnston Engineering both made available for assessment an Acco 2350G/250 cab chassis mounted with their respective bodies. The vehicles were tested on domestic rubbish collection rounds within the City for a minimum of one week. Scoring sheets were provided by the City’s Fleet Consultant to facilitate the assessment based on key areas of operation and maintenance.
The assessment considered operational and maintenance features of both vehicles, resulting in the Acco 2350G/250 with a MacDonald Johnston body scoring slightly higher.
The Tender Evaluation Team scored each conforming tender against the stated criteria. The overall rankings of the tenders based on a weighted score are:

Comment
Based on the overall rankings of the tender submissions it is recommended that the tender submitted by Skipper Trucks for the supply and delivery of eight Side Loading Refuse Collection Vehicles be accepted for the purchase price of $1,971,162. It is further recommended that the tender submission by Smith Broughton and Sons Pty. Ltd. for the outright purchase of the City’s existing vehicles, plant numbers 96592, 96694, 96695, 96696, 96697, 96698, 96699 and 96700 for $271,081 also be accepted.
A number of items included as options in the tender specification have been assessed as cost effective and beneficial to the operation of the vehicles. These items, as detailed below, have been included in the recommended tender price of Skipper Trucks:
· Air bag pressure monitor system calibrated to indicate when the vehicle is carrying a full legal load on the rear axles;
· Fire extinguisher;
· Upgrade to a Mitsubishi rear view camera system as used on the City’s current side loading collection vehicles.
In addition, the tender price allows for the supply of a spare lifting arm mechanism to reduce downtime during preventative maintenance and servicing operations
Statutory Compliance
Tenders have been invited and properly evaluated against the selection criteria in accordance with Section 3.57 of the Local Government Act and associated regulations.

Issue
To advise Council of the submissions for funding from the 2002/2003 Federal Blackspot Programme.
Background
The Federal Government, as part of its commitment to maintain downward pressure on road trauma and its high cost to the Australian community, has announced a new Federal Road Safety Black Spot Programme for three years staring 1 July 2002. The current programme expires on 30 June 2002.
Submissions for the 2002/2003 Federal Blackspot Programme were recently requested with the closing date advised as 15 March 2002. All submissions are evaluated against the criteria set by Main Roads WA Blackspot Program Development and Management Guidelines.
The Federal Blackspot Programme targets road locations where crashes resulting in injury or death are occurring and aims to fund cost effective, safety orientated projects by focusing on locations where the highest safety benefits and crash reductions can be achieved.
The criteria for the Federal Blackspot Programme is based on the following:
· Crashes for the five (5) year period 1996 to 2000 inclusive will be used for qualifying audits and BCR calculations.
· A road length is defined as a section of road greater than three (3) kilometers in length.
· For road lengths the crash criteria is one (1) casualty crash per kilometer per five (5) years.
· For intersections, mid-block or short road sections (<3kms), the crash criteria is three casualty crashes in one year, or three casualty crashes in three years or four casualty crashes in four years or five casualty crashes in five years.
The Federal Blackspot Program allocates 100% funding of the successful project cost.
To assist with the preparation of submissions for Federal Blackspot Funding, a data disk including potential eligible sites and Crash Benefit Cost Analysis Software were supplied by Main Roads WA.
Detail
On the basis of the crash data supplied by Main Roads WA City Administration proceeded with the investigation of eleven possible sites that were considered appropriate for submission. On evaluation three sites met all criteria and were subsequently submitted to Main Roads WA by City Administration for 2002/2003 Federal Blackspot Program funding consideration.
A summary of the projects, are shown below:

Comment
All nominations will be assessed by the Federal Blackspot Panel for endorsement in late May, 2002 and it is likely that the Minister for Transport will announce the approved projects in early July 2002 to allow finalisation of Local Government budgets.
It is therefore recommended that the projects listed above for the 2002/2003 Federal Blackspot Programme be noted and included in the draft four year Capital Works Budget for 2002/2003.

Issue
Consideration of parking restrictions in Bellerive Boulevard, Madeley.
Background
Residents of Bellerive Boulevard Madeley have highlighted to Ward Councillors and City Administration the problems of access they are encountering when the Kingsway Sporting Complex is being used at various times throughout the year.
Patrons of the Kingsway Sporting Complex park on both sides of the street and only allow enough room for one directional flow of traffic. The residents of the street claim that the carpark adjacent to the Cricket Club is rarely full.
Detail
Bellerive Boulevard is wide enough to allow parking on the eastern side of the road. Parking restrictions on the residential side (western side) of Bellervie Boulevard will allow two way flow of traffic for both residents and patrons of the Kingsway Sporting Complex. This will also allow access to properties
Attachment 1 shows the proposed parking restrictions of “No Stopping Road or Verge” and “No Stopping Road or Verge Saturday to Sunday 8.00am to 6.00pm”.
Consultation
A letter box drop to all residents was undertaken in order to inform them of what action was proposed to address their problem. It also advised residents of the ramifications of the above signage, that they too, could not park on the road or verge on the weekends.
Comment
The request made by the residents is a reasonable one in that it protects their amenity in living across the street from a regional sporting complex. At the time of writing the report, there has been no objections to the parking restrictions shown on the plan. In fact, residents have contacted City Administration seeking confirmation as to when the parking prohibition signs are to be installed.
It is therefore recommended that Council approve the parking restrictions of “No Stopping Road or Verge” and “No Stopping Road or Verge Saturday to Sunday 8.00am to 6.00pm” as shown on Drawing No T1819 – 1 - 0 at Attachment 1.
Statutory Compliance
The Parking restrictions will comply with the Traffic Code 2000.

Issue
To consider alternatives to the closure and improve safety and security of the following pedestrian access ways:
1. Between Kempton Grove and Connelly Drive, Clarkson.
2. Between Seabrook Grove and Ainsbury Parade, Clarkson.
Background
A report addressing petitions for the closure and improve safety and security of the two public access ways (PAW) in Clarkson was considered by Council at its meeting held on 27 November 2001, (Attachment 1 Report No. PO17-11/01 refers). At this meeting the PAWS were referred to City Administration to monitor and further investigate alternatives to improve safety and security.
Detail
Both PAWS have been inspected to investigate alternatives to closure and to improve safety and security with comments as follows:
1. PAW between Kempton Grove and Connolly Drive, Clarkson
This PAW is of block length, is bounded on both sides by a 1.8m high fence and provides direct access from streets bounded by Aldersea Circle and Brooks Pass to Connolly Drive, the bus service and the Clarkson High School. A number of high school students use this access. Currently there is no street lighting at the PAW – for location plans and details refer to Attachment 2.
Closure of this PAW would substantially reduce connectivity in the area and would necessitate many local residents having to walk a considerable extra distance to gain excess to Connolly Drive via Brooks Pass.
2. PAW between Seabrook Grove and Ainsbury Parade, Clarkson
This PAW is of block length, is bounded on both sides by a 1.8m high fence and services an area that has only one road access by Rooke Way on to Ainsbury Drive.
Clarkson Shopping Centre is located on the eastern side of Ainsbury Parade and Clarkson Primary School is located just to the north east of the shopping centre. For location plan and details refer to Attachment 3.
Pedestrian access to both the Clarkson Shopping Centre and Clarkson Primary School of these would be restricted to Rooke Way for all residents in this immediate area should this PAW be closed. It is also noted that there are additional pedestrian access ways to the west of this location into Cheney Vale and beyond, all of which would be of little further use if this particular PAW to the area is closed. As with the Kempton Grove PAW, this PAW also needs to be retained.
Comment
It is assumed and most likely that the antisocial behaviour occurring at this location occurs during the hours of darkness and that the provision of additional street lighting could greatly reduce this occurrence. The following street lighting proposal would need to be implemented to improve the safety and security of the PAW at night:
1. PAW between Kempton Grove and Connolly Drive Clarkson (Attachment 2)
· Install a new 6.5m steel standard pole 80W MV Luminare opposite the northern boundary of the PAW on Kempton Avenue.
· Install a new 80W MV luminare on the existing concrete power pole opposite the northern boundary of the PAW on Connolly Drive.
2. PAW between Seabrook Grove and Ainsbury Parade, Clarkson. (Attachment 3)
· Install a new 6.5m steel standard pole with 80W MV luminare opposite the southern boundary of the PAW on Seabrook Grove.
· Install a new 6.5m steel standard pole with 80W MV luminare opposite the boundary of House Nos 15 and 17 with a shield to stop light reflecting back into those properties.
· It is noted there is an existing street light 150W HPS luminare on a 10.5m steel standard pole at the eastern end of this PAW which lights up the roundabout.
It is also suggested that the City’s Security Patrols and Rangers be informed of problems at both locations and schedule regular visits to this area to monitor anti social behaviour.
Statutory Compliance
Nil
Strategic Implications
The proposed street lighting works are in accordance with the City’s strategic direction to improve safety and security within the community
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Western Power has been requested to provide quotations for lighting upgrades at each location. It is estimated that $4,000 be allocated to the Kempton Grove/Connolly Drive PAW and $2,000 to the Seabrooke/Ainsbury Parade PAW.
An amount of $30,000 was approved in the 2001/2002 Capital Works Program for a Public Access Way Upgrade Program and to date no works have been implemented. Funds are therefore available from Project No 2522 to implement these street lighting works.
Voting Requirements
Simple Majority
EndStrip – This will not be printed so do not delete
Recommendation
That Council:-
1. APPROVES the proposed street lighting upgrades at both the Kempton Grove/Connolly Drive and Seabrook Grove/Ainsbury Parade public access ways at an estimated cost of $6,000, with the works to be funded from Project No 2522 – Public Access Way Upgrade Program
2. ADVISE the petitioners of the action being taken.

PD17-11/01 Requested Closure Of Pedestrian Access Way Between Kempton Grove And Connolly Drive, Clarkson.
File Ref: 69976, 62067
Responsible Officer: Acting Director Planning & Development
Disclosure of Interest: Nil
Attachments: 1
Issue
Consideration of a request for the closure of the Pedestrian Access Way.
Background
A petition containing 23 signatures calling for the permanent closure of the pedestrian access way (PAW) between Kempton Grove and Connolly Drive, in Clarkson was submitted to the Council meeting held on 1 May 2001. The petition was submitted on the grounds of alleged incidents of anti-social behaviour that were said to take place in or be facilitated by the PAW.
Detail
The PAW between Kempton Grove and Connolly Drive leads directly to the Clarkson Community High School and a bus stop along the Connolly Drive bus route.
The petition arranged by the owner of one of the properties that adjoin the PAW cites incidents of unruly behaviour, offensive language, drug taking, damage and graffiti to fences, entry and theft from property and vehicles and improper use of the PAW by motorcycles. The 23 signatories to the petition represent 15 households out of the 97 households in the 5 streets in the immediate vicinity of the PAW.
Consultation
The Western Australian Police Department and the City’s Ranger Services and Safer Citizens Unit were requested to provide statistics on the incidents reported to them.
The Police Department advised that between January 2000 and June 2001, there were 2 incidents of offenders being on premises, 2 alarm call outs and 1 motor vehicle theft in the surrounding streets. The Police report states that a direct link between these incidents and the PAW was not established. The City’s Ranger Services and Safer Citizens Safety Officers advised that there have been no incidents reported.
The Education Department has expressed the view that the PAW should remain open for the benefit of the high school students.
The Transport arm of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) strongly opposes closure on the grounds that the PAW is of strategic importance to the local pedestrian network. It services bus stops along Connolly Drive and the High School and closure would result in a considerably longer journey for the users of these facilities.
The owners of the properties that adjoin the PAW were advised of the need for them to grant an easement to protect an existing sewer line, and because of the restrictions the easement would place on use of the land they have opted not to purchase the PAW.
Having regard for the above, the City has not undertaken public consultation in the form of on site signs, newspaper notices and direct mail to the surrounding households. If closure action is to proceed and a submission made to the Department of Land Administration (DOLA) the City will first have to undertake this public consultation and inform the Minister for Lands of the outcome.
Comment
The PAW represents the most direct route to the Clarkson Community High School for the 91 households shown within the border on the Attachment, and for other households west of Aldersea Circle. This factor forms the basis of the DPI objection to the requested closure.
Statutory Compliance
It is a core requirement of DOLA’s policy that the land within a closed PAW is to be purchased and amalgamated into adjoining properties, or reserved and vested in an appropriate authority for public utility purposes.
The property owners adjoining this PAW have declined to buy the land because of the restrictions placed on it by a sewer easement. Given the requirement of DPI for the PAW to remain open it is to be assumed that the Water Corporation would not be prepared to take on a management role for utility purposes.
Strategic Implications
Nil
Policy Implications
Council’s adopted Pedestrian Accessway Planning Policy applies to this application as follows:
Access to community facilities and services.
The policy states that generally closure should not be supported where a PAW leads directly to a school and public transport route.
Anti-social behaviour considerations related to the PAW
The incidents reported are consistent with the factors considered in the policy. It has been suggested that the perpetrators of these incidents are in the main drawn from the primary group that uses the PAW that is, students of the high school.
Access for disabled and seniors
There are no institutions or community facilities that cater for persons in these groups within the vicinity of the PAW.
Availability of alternative access routes
The policy states that closure of a PAW should only be supported where a viable alternative access route is available.
There are two alternative routes to the PAW that provide access to the high school and bus stop on Connolly Drive, but both are considered not to be viable alternatives.
The route north along Pitchford Glade then south down Connolly Drive, when measured from the ends of the PAW involves an extra distance of 570 metres for a one way journey over the PAW distance.
The route west along Pitchford Glade, south along Aldersea Circle then east along Haskell Gardens to Connolly Drive, involves an extra distance of 1100 metres for a one way journey.
Importance of the PAW to the pathway system and the Wanneroo Bike Plan
The PAW does connect the local path system to Connolly Drive and the bike route along Walyunga Boulevard to the east.
Alternatives to closure of the PAW.
The PAW is the standard 4 metres wide and the properties that adjoin it have constructed dwellings that prevent the widening of it for landscaping or other remedial treatment works. The street lighting could be brought marginally close to either end but this would incur some cost.
Financial Implications
Nil.
Voting Requirements
Simple Majority.
Recommendation
That Council:
1. DISCONTINUES closure action in respect to the pedestrian access way between Kempton Grove and Connolly Drive, Clarkson.
2. ADVISES the petitioners of the reasons for this decision.

Issue
This report considers the allocation of funds in the City’s Capital Works construction programme for the progressive sealing of limestone roads within the City on a priority basis.
Background
There are approximately 20 kilometres of unsealed roads within the City, with most if not all of these roads located within the north-eastern quadrant of the City’s boundaries. These roads consists of old informal limestone access tracks developed over the years through to limestone roads provided for rural property and/or business access.
There have been increasing demand from rural property owners for the sealing of the limestone roads that provide access to their properties. These requests are primarily being made as a result of the continual deterioration of the roads over winter periods and/or dust related issues. As these roads do not carry high volumes of traffic, sealing of these roads has not been routinely considered in the City’s past annual Capital Works Budgets. The priority to seal these roads will continue to be low and it will be difficult to justify the allocation of funds for this purpose. The City does however perform general maintenance annually on these roads.
Detail
The following table lists all unsealed roads within the City which provide vehicular access to rural residential properties and/or businesses. Only limestone roads which provide access to developed rural properties are considered in this report. Where the road terminates in a dead end, then the length of road shown in the table only reflects the section of the road necessary to provide vehicular access to an existing access driveway of the developed lot.

Nisa Road, Anderson Road, Rousset Road and Mariginiup Road will not be considered in this proposed ‘Limestone Road Sealing Program’.
Nisa and Anderson Roads are both located within the Ministry for Planning and the Water & Rivers Commission’s, Gnangara Land Use and Water Management Conservation area. The properties located within this area will eventually be acquired by the government for the protection of the Lake Pinjar wetlands and the Gnangara Mound underground water resource. These roads will continue to be maintained by the City at its current standards.
The construction and extension of Rousset Road will be considered together with other major roads once the road widening and land acquisitions for this road are finalised. The extension of Rousset Road will include the unsealed section of the road that serves an existing access approximately 220 metres from the end of the sealed section of the road.
The upgrading and sealing of the section of Mariginiup Road is the subject of subdivisional conditions imposed on the owners of the abutting land subdivisions.
Comment
The remainder of the unsealed roads listed above form the proposed sealing program. The construction costs associated with the sealing of each of the roads were estimated and measured against the following weighted criteria :-
1. Historical maintenance requirements - 35%

It is noted that the estimated costs tabled above are based on order of cost estimates and are subject to change during the detailed design stage as there may be other factors to be considered, such as the road geometry, pavement composition and widening. It does however, provide an indication of the magnitude of costs involved in the programme. Roads to be promoted for consideration by Council in each relevant Draft Capital Works Budget will need to be reviewed in a more detail for budget purposes.
It should be noted that a recent paper written by Dr Penny Burns and Dr Jeff Roorda of AMQ International and published with WALGA’s ‘Report on Local Government Road Assets and Expenditure 1999-2000’ indicated that sealing of rural roads as opposed to maintaining gravel roads may in fact increase the cost to a Council over the lifetime of a pavement. The report indicates that the average annual unit cost to maintain gravel roads is approximately $1,400/km/year and an average annual unit cost to construct and maintain a sealed road is approximately $5,500/km/year. This results in a net increase in the average annual unit cost of $4,100 per km over the life of the pavement.
In the case of the City’s unsealed roads, these are generally limestone roads which require a higher standard of maintenance. The cost to the City to regrade the roads in the ten sites listed above would average $1,500/site/year, or a total of $13,500 per year for all the sites.
The cost of a bitumen sealed surface is approximately $52.00/m for a 6.0 metre wide sealed road with an effective life of 15 years. For the total road length of 2,040 metres and over the life of the pavement, the cost of the bitumen seal equates to approximately $7,072 per year excluding any maintenance costs associated with a sealed road.
Therefore, it would appear that there would be benefits in this instance to seal the limestone roads in question. However, it should be noted that regrading of the limestone roads has not been conducted annually. The maintenance on these roads has only been attended to as and when residents and/or motorists forward such requests for the City’s attention. This obviously does not reflect a good level of service on the City’s part. Sealed roads within the City are less likely to require annual or regular maintenance and provide a level of service that motorist and residents are much more comfortable with.
Unless the City commits to a programme and allocates funds within its annual Capital Works Budget to progressively seal these roads, they will not be considered as a high priority in the Road Construction Program.
The City’s Operational Services Unit is currently investigating the use of a product known as ‘Kalfoss’ utilised for chemical stabilisation of limestone roads. This process has been used, and is currently being monitored, on a residential street in the Shire of Coorow. The road base material in this street is natural coastal marl and has similar calcium carbonate characteristics as the limestone material used by the City for road pavements. There is a strong potential for savings to be made on the maintenance and upgrading of limestone roads with the use of this chemical to stabililise limestone roads. The investigation is in the early stages and is subject to further evaluation with officers from the Shire of Coorow and the chemical supplier before a recommendation can be made on funding a trial section of limestone road in the City.
The used of ‘Kalfoss’ may be a product, which can be utilised instead of bitumen seal. If deemed successful and cost effective, the use of bitumen seal in the programme will be reviewed.

Issue
To seek Council approval for the relocation of the playground equipment in Ormiston Park, Clarkson.
Background
At the Council meeting of 20 March 2001, a petition of 197 signatures was received from residents requesting that the City refurbish and grass Ormiston Park. Council resolved at this meeting as follows:
“That Council CONSIDERS the redevelopment of Ormiston Park, Clarkson in accordance with the final adopted report and recommendations for the Policy and Information Plan for Upgrading Distributor Roads and Unirrigated Parks (Hames Sharley 2001).”
Detail
In August 2001 a questionnaire was sent to residents living within 400 metres of Ormiston Park seeking their comments on the relocation of playground equipment on this Park. Two locations were suggested as outlined in Attachment 1. A total of 19 responses supported Location 1 (Trephina Mews), while 20 responses supported Location 2.
At its meeting on 27 November 2001, Council resolved to receive further reports on conceptual treatments, costs and programs for the development of a number of parks including Ormiston Park. A concept plan for Ormiston Park was prepared with the proposed new location for the play equipment being in accordance with Location 2. This location provided more space to expand the playground in the future and offered a flatter site. This concept plan, as shown on Attachment 2 was distributed on 8 February to residents within 400m of the park for review and comments by 22 February 2002.
The results from the questionnaire for the redevelopment concept from Ormiston Park indicated no objections to the proposed new location of the playground equipment.
Consultation
The residents within 400m of Ormiston Park have been given the opportunity on two separate occasions to comment on the proposed relocation of the playground equipment.
Comment
A report on the proposed treatments, costs and programs for the development of Shamrock Park, Two Rocks, Ormiston Park, Clarkson, Taywood Park, Wanneroo and Nanatee Park, Wanneroo will be presented to Council on 30 April 2002. An amount of $114,000 remains in the Passive Park Development Program Stage 1 Project, which may only be sufficient to fund the development of one of these parks. The relocation of the playground equipment at Ormiston Park has been the subject of a 197 signature petition and there has been continuing concern about the existing equipment. In view of this community concern, the early relocation of the playground equipment is supported. The estimated cost of relocating the playground equipment and providing a soft fall area is $7,000.
Statutory Compliance
Nil
Strategic Implications
One of Council’s key strategies is to support safe and secure communities. The relocation of the playground will assist in resolving the feeling the community in the area is experiencing in relation to the safety of their children playing in the park.
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Funds for the relocation of the playground equipment have not been allocated in the 2001/2002 Budget and therefore will need to be sourced from existing 2001/2002 Capital Budget savings.
An amount of $17,000 was approved in the 2001/2002 Budget for the replacement of playground equipment for the Hainsworth Pre Primary. As the Hainsworth Leisure Centre is subject to a redevelopment proposal, the expenditure of funds on the playground equipment will not proceed this year. The reallocation of $7,000 from Project No 2511 Hainsworth Pre Primary playground equipment to fund the relocation of the equipment at Ormiston Park is supported.

Issue
Budget reallocation to utilise savings from Project Number 1159 – Caffagio Crescent & Senario Drive to accommodate a shortfall in funding for the Rangeview Road Reconstruction Project as part of the Roads to Recovery Programme.
Background
The City received funds under the Federal Government Roads to Recovery Programme with these funds allocated to three projects as part of the 2001/2002 Capital Works Budget. Major works for one of these projects (Project number 1159 – Construction of Caffagio Crescent & Senario Drive) are complete and unexpended funds are available for reallocation to other road projects in accordance with the guidelines for the Roads to Recovery Program.
Detail
Funds received under the Roads to Recovery Programme were allocated to the following projects in the 2001/2002 Capital Works Budget:
Project Number |
Description |
Funds |
1159 |
Caffagio Crescent & Senario Drive – Road Construction |
$377,331 |
2128 |
Franklin Road – Shoulder Construction |
$320,000 |
1213 |
Rangeview Road – Road Upgrade |
$234,669 |
These funds were allocated based on preliminary cost estimates prepared during the budget formulation process for the 2001/2002 budget. However, during construction of Project Number 1159 - Caffagio Crescent & Senario Drive, the scope of works was reviewed resulting in a reduction of the extent of brick paving and landscaping on the northern side of Caffagio Crescent and on the eastern side of Senario Drive. Major works associated with this project have now been completed and surplus funds in the order of $100,000 remain available for use in other eligible projects. In order to fully utilise these funds provided under the Roads to Recovery Programme during the current financial year, it is necessary to reallocate surplus funds to other projects proposed for completion prior to 30 June 2002.
Works for Project Number 2128 - Franklin Road Shoulder Construction are programmed to commence during the second week of April and a detailed construction estimate is currently being prepared.
Road upgrading works for Rangeview Road are currently being designed and a preliminary design has indicated that these works will cost in the order of $300,000. Since only $234,669 is available in Project Number 1213 for these works, there is a shortfall of $65,000. The principal reason for the budget shortfall is that recent pavement testing has revealed the existing pavement is extremely thin and full depth reconstruction over the length of the project is required to address this deficiency. Initially it was only proposed to widen Rangeview Road and provide for an asphalt overlay. In addition, there is now a requirement the install traffic islands and increase the width of the pavement to accommodate these treatments and upgrade the street lighting.
The scope of works for Project Number 2129 – Road Resurfacing Programme is currently being investigated and the possibility exists to expand the extent of resurfacing works with any unexpected funds from the 2001/2002 Roads to Recovery Programme grant allocation. Detailed cost estimates are being prepared and will be available for review during April 2002. It is therefore proposed that $65,000 be reallocated from Project Number 1159 to Project Number 1213 and that the remaining $35,000 be reconsidered for reallocation after cost estimates for the Franklin Road shoulder construction and road resurfacing program projects are finalised.
Amendments to the Works Schedule reported to the Federal Department of Transport will be made accordingly after Council considers this budget amendment.
Comment
Project No’s 1159 (Caffagio Crescent and Senario Drive) and 1213 (Rangeview Road) are funded from the Roads to Recovery Programme and it is therefore appropriate to reallocate funds to the value of $65,000 from Project Number 1159 to Project Number 1213 so that the full scope of works in Rangeview Road can be completed.

Issue
To consider a request from Satterley Property Group for the provision of regular advice in respect of new residents in the Brighton Estate, Butler.
Background
A letter (Attachment 1) has been received from Mr Robert Wallman (Community Development Manager – Brighton Estate) requesting the City provide a monthly report detailing those people who have taken up residence in the Brighton Estate during the preceding month.
Detail
The purpose of the request is to identify people as they move into their new homes in order to invite each to attend a “Welcome Night”. The “Welcome Night” will provide an opportunity to officially welcome each new resident to the Estate and present each with a Welcome Kit. It is considered to be an innovative way to foster a unique sense of community to all residents and will allow new residents to become acquainted with their new neighbours. The only details required in respect of each new resident are:-
· Name;
· Street Address; and
· Lot Number.
The developer has indicated that the Welcome Kit will contain information about the City of Wanneroo and a representative of the City will be invited to attend the Welcome evening.
Comment
The information requested forms part of the City’s rate record which, under the provisions of Section 5.94 (m) of the Local Government Act 1995 is publicly available for inspection at the City’s offices by any person. The Council has recently resolved to make Ward Street Listings (in hard copy only) available to the public upon application and the payment of a $55 charge (GST inclusive). These listings include the owner’s name (where it has not been suppressed), street address and lot number. However, a person inspecting the rate record or purchasing a street listing would not be able to identify the date of occupation of new residents.
If the City was to accede to the developer’s request, it would not be providing the date of occupancy but would be providing the information requested in respect of only those who had taken up residence during the preceding month.
Clearly, where a new resident has sought suppression of their name on the rate record the entry on the listing would only detail the street address and lot number for that person and would record “the owner” as the name.
The information required can be extracted from the City’s property system using the date of request for a new refuse service in the Estate. This service however, is one that is not normally provided by the City and as such the City should impose a charge. It is arguable as to whether such charge can be pitched at a level to only recover costs or whether the City can incorporate a profit margin. It is considered that any charge should be restricted to cost recovery in recognition of the community benefit aspect of the proposal. In that regard, a nominal fee of $55 (including GST) is considered appropriate.
Conclusion
The purposes for which the information is being sought are considered to be innovative and worthwhile in terms of fostering a sense of community and it is lawful for the City to provide the information requested.
Alternatively, the Council may consider it more appropriate to only provide a listing of addressees for which a new refuse service has been requested during the period. Such a list would exclude owners name and postal address.
In any event, should the Council consider this request favourably, it would be recommended that the information be provided –
· for an appropriate fee; and
· in exchange for a written undertaking by the applicant that the information would be used for the purpose of the “Welcome Night” only and would not be made available (in any form) to a third party.
Statutory Compliance
The base information requested is publicly available pursuant to Section 5.94 (m) of the Local Government Act 1995. Part 6, Division 5, Subdivision 2 of the Local Government Act 1995 refers to Fees and Charges. The imposition of a fee will require an Absolute Majority and must either be implemented (i.e. become effective) upon budget adoption (July 2002) or after giving local public notice (7 days) of the City’s intention.
Strategic Implications
A decision by the Council to accede to this request is considered to be consistent with the City’s Strategic Goal of Healthy Communities.
Policy Implications
It is considered that any future requests of a similar nature should be considered on merit and only agreed to where benefits accrue to the community. That is, where there is no commercial intent on behalf of the applicant.
Financial Implications
Nil. The charges suggested for the provision of this information are based on cost recovery only.

Recommendation
That Council :-
1. AUTHORISES the provision of data relating to new refuse services within the Brighton Estate, Butler to Satterley Property Group as requested PROVIDED that –
a) the information provided in respect of each new refuse service be restricted to the properties’ street address;
b) Satterley Property Group provide the City a written undertaking that the information would be used for the purpose of the “Welcome Night” only and would not be made available (in any form) to a third party; and
c) a fee of $55 (including GST) be charged in respect of each request.
2. SUBJECT to 1. above, AUTHORISES the giving of a local public notice of the City’s intention to charge a fee.

Issue
To consider a series of proposed amendments to the Trust Deed for Local Government House.
Background
The former City of Wanneroo held trust equity units in the Local Government House Trust in proportion to the amount of capital it contributed towards the purchase of Local Government House in Altona Street, West Perth. As a consequence of its unit holding (10 units) the former City of Wanneroo was a “beneficiary” of the Trust. The Joint Commissioners determined the adjustment of these units, effectively resulting in the transfer of 5 units to each of the new Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo (then the Shire of Wanneroo).
The Trust Deed for Local Government House recognises the CSCA, CUCA and LGA in a number of areas. The pending dissolution of the three organisations to form WALGA therefore requires the Trust Deed to be amended. The City of Wanneroo as one of the beneficiaries has been asked to consider the proposed amendments prepared by the Board of Management in conjunction with lawyers Minter Ellison and signify its agreement or otherwise by 30 April 2002.
Detail
The correspondence received from WALGA in respect of the proposed amendments to the Local Government House Trust Deed noted the City’s status as a beneficiary of the Trust. Interestingly, the accompanying schedule recorded the City of Joondalup as holding a beneficial interest by way of 10 units and excluded the City of Wanneroo altogether. The City of Joondalup has since written to WALGA advising of the Joint Commissioner’s decision and, as a result, WALGA have contacted the City of Wanneroo to confirm that the list of beneficiaries has been amended accordingly.
Broadly, there are two (2) issues that need to be addressed due to the pending replacement of the existing representative bodies with the Western Australian Local Government Association: -
§ To allow the appointment of one replacement Trustee (WALGA) for the existing Trustees (CSCA and LGA); and
§ To replace the current Board of Management with a new Board.
These required amendments offer an opportunity to propose further amendments aimed at updating and improving the operation of the Board of Management and reflecting terminology used in the Local Government Act 1995 and related State legislation. A detailed explanation of the proposed amendments is included in Attachment 1.
Consultation
Nil
Comment
A summary of the proposed amendments follows: -
· “To allow the appointment of one replacement Trustee for the CSCA and LGA
- With the decision of the three Associations at the 2001 Annual Conference to form the WA Local Government Association, the CSCA, LGA and CUCA entered into a state of dormancy. A motion to dissolve each Association will be considered before or at the 2003 Annual Conference.
- As the CSCA and LGA are the current Trustees of the Deed, it is necessary to appoint a replacement Trustee.
- The Trustees Act requires a minimum of two trustees to be appointed where more than one trustee was originally appointed. This would prevent appointing only the WA Local Government Association as the new Trustee.
- It is therefore proposed that a Deed of Variation be executed to vary the terms of the Trust Deed to allow the appointment of one Trustee (ie the WA Local Government Association) as replacement for the CSCA and LGA.
· To replace the current Board of Management with a new Board
- The Board of Management currently includes representatives from CSCA, LGA and CUCA.
- With the pending dissolution of the three Associations, a new Board of Management must be appointed to manage the day-to-day administration of the Trust Deed.
- It is proposed that a new Board of Management be appointed which includes the following members:
Current Board of Management |
New Board of Management |
LGA President LGA Deputy President CSCA President CSCA Deputy President CUCA President |
President of the WA Local Government Association Deputy President of the WA Local Government Association State Councillor (Country Constituency) State Councillor (Metropolitan Constituency) Representative from the country beneficiaries Representative from the metropolitan beneficiaries CEO of the WA Local Government Association |
· To update the Trust Deed and to improve the operation of the Board of Management
- Various amendments need to be made to recognise the Local Government Act 1995 and related State legislation.
- It is proposed that an amendment be made in relation to constituting a quorum at meetings of the Board of Management. Currently, the number of members required to form a quorum is 100%. This has been a source of ongoing problems, and as such it is proposed that the number of members necessary to form a quorum be amended from 100% to greater than 50%.
- It is recommended that an amendment be made to the Trust Deed relating to the majority needed to carry a resolution of the Board of Management. Presently, a resolution can only be carried by the unanimous agreement of all members. This is contrary to the practices in most other boards and committees. As such, it is proposed that this requirement should be amended to allow an absolute majority to carry a resolution of the Board of Management.”
It is considered that the Council should support the proposed amendments to the Trust Deed for the Local Government House Trust and authorise the Chief Executive Officer to notify the Western Australian Local Government Association accordingly.

Issue
Community Services seeks Council approval to re-allocate funds from within its operational budget towards the purchase of a digital camera for use in the proposed new Youth Services Website, and to make up the shortfall for purchase of a Public Address System.
Background
The 2001/02 Youth Services budget approved the purchase of a PA system as a Minor Capital Item ($1,500). A recent quotation indicates a sturdy PA system will cost around $2,700, meaning a shortfall of approximately $1,200.
It is also apparent that the proposed new Youth Services Website will require the use of a digital camera to ensure the website content is current and relevant enough to attract young people. This will cost approximately $1,200 including accessories.
Detail
Youth Services staff require a Public Address system that is fully portable and able to be transported around for youth programs such as skate competitions at Two Rocks, Quinns, Girrawheen and Wanneroo, and Hip Hop programs at Hainsworth and Banksia Grove. The ideal system is fully portable and sturdy but there is a shortfall of $1,200 from the amount allocated in the current budget.
As stated, a dedicated digital camera will form a key component of the proposed Youth Services website.
There has been a considerable saving in salaries in the Youth Services budget as a number of positions were not filled until late in 2001.
It is proposed that a total of $2,400 be re-allocated from savings in salaries in the Operational Budget to offset a shortfall for the purchase of a PA system ($1,200) and towards the purchase of a Camera and accessories ($1,200).
Comment
The purchase of a sturdy and portable PA system is a good investment in youth programs and will be heavily used, adding value to the programs that are currently operated.
This PA system might also assist other areas of the City’s operation, for example in the conduct of public meetings at other locations.
The digital camera used by Marketing Services is heavily used by all areas of the Council and is often not available for loan by Youth Services. The availability of a digital camera is essential to the success of an interactive and relevant Youth Services Website, which should be developed by May 2002. Additionally, the camera could be borrowed by other sections of Community Development as other Websites are developed.
Statutory Compliance
In accordance with section 6.8 (1) (c) of the Local Government Act (Absolute Majority required) Council authorisation is required for this budget variation.
Strategic Implications
The re-allocation of council funds correlates with Goal 2 of the Strategic Plan, specifically:
1. Goal 2.6 Provide and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of our communities; and
2. Goal 2.7 Provide community focussed services and lifestyle opportunities.
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
It is pertinent to note that funds will be reallocated from the existing savings from salaries, should this proposal be approved. The proposal does not, therefore, represent additional expenditure. The expenditure proposed represents an appropriate reallocation of funds within the Youth Services program, to ensure the most is achieved from the available resources.

These resources represent a valuable addition to the funds available within the HACC program, and go towards ensuring that a high standard of service is provided to HACC clients.
Statutory Compliance
In accordance with section 6.8 (1) (c) of the Local Government Act (Absolute Majority required) Council authorisation is required for this budget variation.
Strategic Implications
The expenditure of these grant funds correlates with Goal 2 of the Strategic Plan, specifically:
1. Goal 2.5 Foster a community that finds strength in its diversity;
2. Goal 2.6 Provide and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of our communities; and
3. Goal 2.7 Provide community focussed services and lifestyle opportunities.

Nil
Financial Implications
The City has been forwarded 50% ($5,200) of the total recurrent funding granted for Wanneroo HACC Services. In effect this represents a payment for the January to June quarters for 2001-2002 and must be recognised in the 2001-2002 financial year in the audited financial statement provided by the City. Full year recurrent funding will commence at the beginning of the 2002-2003 financial year.
The City has also been forwarded non-recurrent funding of $31,000 that must be recognised in the 2001-2002 financial year in the audited financial statement provided by the City.
No additional funding is required from the City with regard to the expenditure of these funds.

Issue
To consider a request from the Health Insurance Commission (HIC) to establish a Medicare Easyclaim telephone facility in the Yanchep Community Centre (YCC) for a period of 2 years commencing April 2002.
Background
The Health Insurance Commission proposes that residents in rural and remote communities have ready access to a dedicated telephone line to assist them in claiming rebates for their Medicare claims. This is a simple step-by-step, self-help service that takes customers through the process of making Medicare claims. The HIC has suggested that the Yanchep Community Centre would provide an accessible and popular venue for such a service and it wishes to enter into a 2-year contract arrangement with the City, with an option to extend the contract should it be successful.
Detail
The HIC will bear all costs of installation, connection of the telephone line, operational costs and promotional information. It will also pay the City an honorarium of $250 per annum for ensuring that appropriate management procedures, centre access and preservation of client confidentiality are maintained by YCC staff. The City can terminate its involvement in the contract through the provision of 28 days written notice.
A suitable area within the building has been identified, which offers confidentiality for clients to discuss their claims on the telephone line. The building is open 9am- 4pm Monday – Friday each week except for Public Holidays and a 1-week closure over the Christmas/New Year period.
Comment
The proposed service offers residents of Yanchep, St Andrews and Two Rocks with convenient local access to Medicare services, overcoming issues often associated with living in isolated or rural communities.
YCC staff would be required to sign a confidentiality clause and to process sealed claims through the mail service on a daily basis. The HIC will provide Reply Paid envelopes.
This equates to minimal inconvenience and disruption to YCC staff who are fully supportive of this measure and are able to support these duties in their work schedule.

Issue
This report seeks Council endorsement for the appointment of SkateTech Pty Ltd to work with the Yanchep/Two Rocks Skate Working Party on the style of design and construction of the Charnwood Reserve Skate Facility.
Background
At its meeting of 18 December 2001 (reference report CD06-12/01) it was resolved that Council:
1. APPROVES the construction Stage 1 of a permanent skate facility, to be located centrally on Charnwood Reserve, west of the existing change rooms and in view of Lisford Avenue, with additional funds to be sought through other appropriate avenues to assist future staged development of the facility.
2. CALLS for Expressions of Interest from suitable organisations for the design and construction of the permanent skate facility;
3. NOTES that all Expressions of Interest will be presented to the Yanchep Two Rocks Skate Facility Working Party for their comment; and
4. NOTES that a report regarding the preferred organisation to construct the facility and design specifications will be presented to Council for consideration in February 2002.
Subsequently, the Working Party met on Thursday, 28 February. At this meeting the members were informed of Council’s resolutions, perused and supported the request for quotation document and agreed to meet again on Thursday, 28 March to review the quotations.
Detail
The City has received two quotations for the design and construction of the facility, and these have been presented to the Working Party. A third company declined to submit a quotation due to their current workload and subsequent unavailability to undertake such works until approximately February 2003.
One quotation was received from SkateTech. This quotation favours a concrete style facility, similar in design to the existing facility at Clarkson Youth Centre.
The other quotation was received from Rampage Design, and this favoured a semi-permanent style of construction, similar, although more developed, to sites existing at Wanneroo Showgrounds and Quinns Rocks.
Consultation
The received quotations were provided to the Working Party for comment. The Working Party was unanimous in its support for SkateTech. All members’ felt that the proposal put forward by SkateTech would better meet their needs. They concluded that SkateTech would provide them with a permanent style construction, which is their preference. They had also indicated that SkateTech designed and constructed superior skate parks, and had an excellent international reputation.
The City’s Technical Services Directorate undertook a separate evaluation on the quotations and recommended the use of Rampage Design. However, the two quotations were extremely close in terms of assessed merit (85% compared to 80%). Please note the Working Party discussed the City’s evaluation and strongly disagreed with the final recommendation, based on their knowledge as skate park users. It is pertinent to note that Technical Services could not consider the style of design and construction in its evaluations and could only consider the following:
1. Design service response to brief and site requirements
2. Ability to meet the program for works
3. Previous experience
4. Three current referees; and
5. Prices quoted for components of works and within budget total.
The style of design and construction was always meant to be a primary consideration, hence the value of the Working Party’s comments with regard to the quotations. Given that the evaluation by Technical Services was so close between the two submissions, it would appear appropriate to support the recommendation of the Working Party.
The Working Party members were asked if they would prefer the City to seek additional quotes from companies that constructed permanent skate parks. They declined the offer, stating that they were confident that SkateTech would construct the best facility.
Comment
A strength of the process followed with regard to the development of this facility has been the close and ongoing consultation with the general public and potential users of the facility. This has allowed the City to locate the facility in an area amenable to all, and to ensure the facility is relevant and attractive to young people in the area.
The Working Party has been an extremely important part of this process, and has been instrumental in the development of the facility to date. The Working Party has had the opportunity to consider all the available information, and have indicated a preference for SkateTech.
Given that the quotation provided by SkateTech meets the City’s requirements and has the support of the Working Party, it is recommended that SkateTech be awarded the contract for the design and construction of the facility.

Strategic Implications
This project articulates with the City’s strategic plan in the following areas:
Goal Two Healthy Communities
To foster an identity that promotes lifestyle choices and the provision of quality services and infrastructures.
2.1 Achieve an understanding of our community’s needs – present and future;
2.4 Support safe and secure communities;
2.5 Foster a community that provides strength in its diversity;
2.6 Provide and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of our community; and
2.7 Provide community focussed services and lifestyle opportunities.
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
The City has allocated a total of $45,307.00 for this project. Interested parties were asked to submit a quote exclusive of GST to complete the design and construction of the skate facility. The respective quotes are outlined in the table below.
COMPANY |
DESIGN |
CONSTRUCTION |

$40,000 |
$40,000.00 |
SkateTech |
$2,475 |
$40,000 |
$42,475.00 |
It is evident that the quotation submitted by Rampage Design is less than that provided by SkateTech. However, it is felt that the opinion of the Working Party must be paramount here, given that the final figures are very close.
The City must ensure that any facility that is constructed will be well utilised by the young people in the area and if this is to happen the facility must be relevant and meet the needs of the young people in question. The most appropriate way to ensure this occurs is to consider the views of potential users before the facility is constructed, hence the essential role the Working Party has had to play in the development of this facility.
The City continues to seek additional sources of funding for a proposed stage 2 of this facility.

Issue
Seek Council endorsement of the car park and traffic management implementation strategy for the Kingsway Sporting Complex, Madeley.
Background
At the 1 May 2001 Ordinary Council meeting, Council resolved to:
a) Endorse the draft Kingsway Sporting Complex Master Plan.
b) Seek a further report on the infrastructure implementation program following a review of the works recommended by the draft Kingsway Sporting Complex Master Plan.
In order for the recommendations of the Kingsway Sporting Complex Master Plan to be implemented a series of infrastructure reviews and assessments were undertaken. These reviews included traffic, parking, pedestrian, lighting, signage, fencing, cycle ways and passive recreation facility issues. A multi disciplined team representing Leisure Services and Technical Operations were established to address the traffic and parking concerns.
Council allocated $15,000 from Project No1800, Implementation of the Kingsway Sporting Complex Master Plan to commission a traffic consultant to undertake a detailed traffic impact study being one aspect of the infrastructure implementation program.
At its meeting 4 September 2001 Council received the Kingsway Sporting Complex – Traffic Management Strategy Report (Report TS02-09/01 refers) as prepared by Ove Arup Transportation Planning, accepting the reports recommendations.
Council approved the following road works as part of Stage 1 of the Implementation Program:
· Extension of Skeit Road to Hepburn Avenue, incorporating a roundabout at the Hepburn Avenue intersection.
· Upgrading of the existing section of Skeit Road between Kingsway and the baseball entrance road
· Construction of a central entrance road to the Kingsway Sporting Complex from Hepburn Avenue, incorporating a roundabout at the Hepburn Avenue intersection.
The report recommended parking and traffic management priorities to coincide with the initial Hepburn Avenue construction. No costs were determined for each priority. The parking and traffic management priorities included;
1. Netball Car Park
Seal Netball Car Park including formalisation of the pick up/drop off parking. This should coincide with new internal roundabout entrance at the juncture of roads from the existing internal roundabout, the Kingsway entry and Bellerive entry.
2. Soccer Car Parking
Conversion of the internal east-west road between the soccer grounds to one way with formalised roadside parking and construction of a car park south of the old tennis/netball courts (approx. 80 bays);
3. Hockey / Cricket Car Parking
Provide the proposed sealed car park at the corner of Bellerive Boulevard/Kingsway Sporting Complex entry (adjacent to the Cricket/Hockey Clubrooms – approx. 60 bays) and the provision of slip parking to accommodate participants, spectators and passive users attached to the side of the road adjacent to Cricket / Hockey playing fields.
4. Football Car Park
Provide a large sealed football car park (250 bays) inside the existing fence line to the east of the Wanneroo Football Clubrooms.
Recommendations were based on;
· Consultation with existing Clubs / Associations
· The impact that Stage 1 of the extension to Hepburn Avenue would have to the internal and external road networks
· Analysis of traffic volumes, origin and destination surveys and crash data
· Analysis of demand that indicated the greatest gap between the number of car park embayments provided and what is required
· The opportunity for joint provision of car parks as several clubs/associations use the same facility/grounds,
· Safety issues relating to pick/up drop off areas
· The need to rationalise the traffic flow within existing car parks
· Vehicular, pedestrian and cyclist conflicts
· Security concerns related to late night walking and distance of car parks from facilities
· Comparisons with other regional sporting Complex’s
· Future sport and recreational development within the Complex.
In January 2001 the Badminton Association of WA, who lease the Kingsway International Sports Stadium at the Kingsway Sporting Complex, applied and received permission from the Western Australian Planning Commission to develop a 105 bay car park in front of the Stadium.
No development has occurred to this date although the Badminton Association of WA engaged Hindley & Associates to prepare a detailed design for the proposed Car park extension. The Badminton Association of WA has made repeated requests for Council to fund the construction of this additional car parking (approx cost $90,000). The request for additional car parking bays at the front of the Kingsway International Sports Stadium has been considered as part of the overall need at Kingsway.
At its meeting held on 26 February 2002 Council agreed in principle to the proposed relocation of the West Perth Football Club to the Kingsway Sporting Complex. Additional Car parking will be required to cater for West Perth Football Club requirements.
Consultation
In order to develop the Kingsway Sporting Complex - Traffic Management Strategy, a stakeholder workshop with Club representatives and Councillors and interview surveys with users from the Kingsway Sporting Complex were conducted in June 2001. Representatives were asked to detail traffic and parking areas of concern relative to their specific Club and to provide suggested solutions to each problem. Clubs unable to attend the workshop were given the opportunity to contribute through a Club questionnaire distributed at time of notification of the agenda to the workshop.
The principle issue highlighted by a variety of Clubs was the limited parking spaces available leading to parking on internal road verges. This practice, particularly when it occurs on both sides of the road, narrows internal road widths creating traffic build up and has the potential to create further conflict between vehicles, pedestrians and athletes.
The responses from the stakeholder workshop and club questionnaire, indicated that solutions to the parking concerns be alleviated through provision of additional car parks and moving back bollards on road verges. The common belief was that providing adequate parking at the relevant locations and the appropriate linkages to Hepburn Avenue would relieve the internal vehicular pressure and improve the overall safety.
Stakeholder areas nominated for additional and upgraded car parking included;
· Front of the Netball Centre
· The grassed area to the south of the cricket/hockey car park (corner of Bellerive Boulevard and Kingsway Sporting Complex entry)
· Maintenance to the grassed area parking at the football ground.
· The area to the south of the football ground
· The area to the south of the old tennis / netball courts and east of the Kingsway Olympic soccer ground.
· Formalise the roadside parking between the soccer grounds.
· The area to the east of the Wanneroo Soccer Club existing car park
Detail
The Kingsway Sporting Complex is located on reserve 28058, Madeley being bordered by Hepburn Avenue, Kingsway Road, Skeit Road and Bellerive Boulevard.
The Kingsway Sporting Complex is a major regional recreational facility that is used for a number of sports and contains a significant area of passive open space. During peak winter usage on weekends the Complex accommodates up to 6000 participants, spectators and officials at any one time.
Council’s agreement for in principle support to the proposed relocation of the West Perth Football Club to the Kingsway Sporting Complex will place further demand for parking and traffic management solutions considering existing Saturday Winter sports congestion. Additional car parking would be required to cater for West Perth Football Club requirements. West Perth has indicated that they would require 100 secured parking bays and 800 general parking bays. Until such time that the relocation of West Perth Football Club is confirmed it is recommended that the Traffic Management Strategy Reports priority 4, being provision of additional football car parking be deferred.
Council Officers have reviewed the Kingsway Sporting Complex – Traffic Management Strategy Report in order to confirm the existing priorities as they relate to traffic and parking management and to advise Council the full costing to undertake the required works. The review identified the need to include a further consideration of extending the Wanneroo City Soccer Club car parking including access form the to be constructed entrance from Hepburn Avenue.
The detail and cost of priorities identified in the Kingsway Sporting Complex – Traffic Management Strategy Report to support the Hepburn Avenue extension include:
Priority 1

All estimates are “order of cost” estimates. The exact extent of parking, locations and layouts are subject to detailed design. Estimates are inclusive of car park lighting to improve safety within the Complex. The total cost to undertake prioritised works is $1,693,000
Comment
The demands on the City and Kingsway Sporting Complex (KSC) are expected to increase with the developing population in the surrounding region and the City’s emphasis on developing long-term security of organisations providing sport and recreational opportunities within the Complex.
Prolonged consultation and correspondence with Councillors and sporting bodies located at KSC reiterates traffic and parking provision as a major cause of concern. Whilst each area within the Complex operates independently, the facilitation of each impacts on others in terms of car parking for participants, spectators, officials and use of the internal road network. A lack of sealed parking, security lighting in car parks, verge parking, ‘rat running’ through the Complex and general shortage of parking to accommodate some playing fields and facilities has provided the City with issues requiring resolution.
The following comments are made regarding each priority:
1. PRIORITY 1: The provision of extra drop-off / pick-up parking along the eastern section of the northern perimeter road at the rear of the stadium, to serve the Badminton Association, is suggested. City Administration believe that the needs of the Badminton Association will be met by the upgrade of the Central Car Park. If the new roundabout access is constructed, closure of the existing western one-way access to all vehicular traffic is recommended to prevent misuse of this access. This would then become a pedestrian access only. Service and emergency vehicles should have adequate access from the three remaining two-way accesses
2. PRIORITY 2: Western access from Bellerive Boulevard to the proposed new soccer car park has been assumed to be from the south only.
3. PRIORITY 3: It is suggested that no right turn out be permitted to assist traffic flow.
4. PRIORITY 4: That consideration be given to extending and sealing the existing Kingsway Soccer car park (limestone western half) as an alternative to the recommended new car park location south of the cricket/hockey clubrooms. Including construction of an illuminated pedestrian facility between the Kingsway Soccer car park and the cricket/hockey clubrooms.
5. PRIORITY 5. Requests for additional car parking received from the Badminton Association of WA do not relate to the internal road network and traffic management priorities identified in the Kingsway Sporting Complex – Traffic Management Strategy Report. Whilst the need is recognised, the provision of Priority One (Central Car Park) will assist to alleviate parking congestion at this site.
The area south of the cricket/hockey clubrooms has well established landscaping with turf and large trees while the western portion of the Kingsway Soccer car park is an area of degraded limestone. This North Western Car Park location may also encourage joint use of this car park by soccer and cricket/hockey patrons.
Priorities 1, 2, 3 and 4 are included as Attachments to indicate the intended works.
Due to the anticipated costs of each priority it is recommended that works be staged according to priority. This project will require implementation through a series of stages to be constructed in consecutive budget years.
The substantial cost associated with providing Priority One (Central Car park) within the first year further suggests this priority be staged over two years. Council Officers suggested the first stage associated with this priority be provision of the roundabout and access road, drop off / pick up points, and car park west and associated access road. The cost of this initial stage is $428,000.
Subject to provision of stage one the remaining infrastructure associated being the car park east and access roads and car park lighting would be funded. The cost of stage two is $419,000.
With this in mind Council is requested to consider funding stage one of priority one in the 2002 / 2003 Budget with subsequent stage 2 and priorities 2, 3, 4 and 5 subject to inclusion in the 4 Year Capital Works Program.

Issue
The AJS Motorcycle Club of WA (Inc) seek a new lease of portion Reserve No 10866, Wattle Road East, Neerabup for the purpose of Motor Cross.
Background
The AJS Motorcycle Club exclusively occupies 19.39 hectares of land being portion Reserve 10866 Neerabup. In 1979 this area was excised from a lease held by the Western Australian Sporting Car Club (Inc) whereby the AJS Motorcycle Club developed facilities to accommodate motor cross.
The facilities located within this area consist a motor cross and motor trial circuit and several structures that serve as a control tower, clubhouse, pit stop shelter and toilet. A perimeter wire mesh fence binds the leased area. The AJS Motorcycle Club caters for two disciplines of motorcycling being motor cross and motor trial, a sport involving motorcycle manoeuvrability.
In 1997 the former Council endorsed a lease for a period of 5 years at an annual rent of $1000 subject to annual Consumer Price Index adjustments. The existing lease is due to expire on the 30 June 2002.
Detail
Reserve 10866 Neerabup is located in the Lake Pinjar Recreation Reserve (see Attachments 1 and 2). The land is reserved Parks and Recreation Reservation under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and the City's District Planning Scheme No 2. This reservation is vested with the City with the power to lease. The Unimproved value of the leased area as determined by the Valuer Generals Office is $300,000.
The AJS Motorcycle Club seeks Council endorsement to renew the existing lease for a period of 21 years. The request for the extended tenure is based on the development plans of the Club. The Club seeks assurance of a suitable term to justify proposed capital expenditure to improve facilities.
At its own expense, the Club has developed facilities and infrastructure purpose built for Motor cross and Motor trial. The Club maintains the existing track at an approximate cost of $10,000 per annum.
The Club caters for 230 junior and senior members and has become the largest in Western Australia. Income generated via membership and race meet fees offset facility operating costs and track upgrade and maintenance.
Council Officers applied the City’s lease policy to guide arbitration in this lease renewal. The policy recommends that the annual lease fee be based on the land rates as determined by the City. The Valuer Generals Office has provided an unimproved valuation of $300,000 for this leased area. The City calculates rates as $0.0052 of the lands unimproved value. Based on these amounts the annual lease fee would be calculated as;
$300,000 multiplied by $0.0052 = $1560 per year
The AJS Motorcycle Club submitted a history of the Club, financial statements and a 5-year infrastructure and maintenance program to support this lease renewal.
Comment
The purpose of the leased area is to provide a reserve conducive to motorcycle sports. The facilities located on this site are purpose built for motorcycle pursuits and the adjacent land is considered compatible with the continued operation of motorcycling at this location.
The Club has developed a maintenance and infrastructure program to upgrade facilities. The existing facilities provide adequate service to the Clubs membership but require upgrading to improve functionality and aesthetics. The Club agrees to continue annual track maintenance works as well as replace fencing, connect electricity to western power, improve parking areas and upgrade toilet / kiosk amenities. The anticipated expenditure on these items is $75,000 to be performed in the next 5 years.
The Club has demonstrated in financial statements that it has the ability to pay the renegotiated annual lease cost of $1560. The Club will also pay all operating costs and continue to provide track and infrastructure improvements. As operating costs contained within the City’s standard lease document includes Council rates, it is recommended that the lease fee be set at $1 per annum and Council rates be charged to the Club on an annual basis. Council rates are initially estimated to be $1560 for 2002 / 2003.
Furthermore the City’s lease policy recommends the tenure period of the lease be calculated proportionate to the capital contribution by the Club to the leased infrastructure. The AJS Motorcycle Club has developed all infrastructure on this reserve and as such the Clubs request for a 21-year lease complies with the City’s lease policy.
Statutory Compliance
The lease of portion reserve 10866 being crown land for a period of 21 years is subject to the Western Australian Planning Commission and Department of Land Administration approval.
Strategic Implications
Nil.
Policy Implications
The City has negotiated renewal of the lease in accordance with the City’s lease policy. The lease complies with Council policy relating to motorised sporting activities whereby motorised sporting groups and any other recreational activity with a high noise level shall be located within the Lake Pinjar Recreation Reserve.
Financial Implications
The AJS Motorcycle Club currently pays an annual lease fee of $1000 with no Council rates applicable. The renegotiated lease would see the Club pay an annual $1 lease fee and Council rates. Council rates are initially estimated to be $1560 for 2002 / 2003.

Issue
The Badminton Association of WA request for Council to fund a third of their successful Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) project for minor works, in the 2002/2003 Draft Budget.
Background
On 10 January 2000 The Badminton Association of WA Inc negotiated a 35 year lease on Reserve No 44878 Kingsway Sporting Complex located on Kingsway Road Madeley.
On 24 October 2000 (Report W335 – 10/00 refers) the following projects were submitted by Council to the Department of Sport and Recreation for consideration under the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Funding programme.
The priority listing adopted by Council was:
Organisation Ranking Rating
Aquamotion 1 High
Mindarie/Quinns SLSC 2 High
Warradale Park Clubrooms 3 High
John Moloney Clubrooms 4 High
The Spot 5 High
West Coast Christian Outreach 6 Medium/High
Yanchep SLSC 7 Medium/High
WA Sporting Car Club 8 Medium/High
Badminton Association of WA 9 Medium/High
The grant application submitted by the Badminton Association of WA was to undertake painting, lighting adjustments, equipment storage, built–in refrigeration, catering facilities, windshield and patio erection, at a total cost of $46,400. Although Council ranked this project as 9th they were successful in obtaining a CSRFF grant from the Department of Sport & Recreation. The City at no stage indicated financial support for this project however the Badminton Association of WA were under the impression that projects funded by the Department of Sport & Recreation were automatically part funded (1/3) by the City.
Detail
The Badminton Association of WA contacted the City in early March 2002 advising that the approved CSRFF project would be scaled down to a total project cost of approximately $25,500 and requesting advice on claiming the City’s portion of $8,500. They were ubsequently advised that the City had not allocated funds for this project and that they would need to formally request funding.
On 17 March 2002 correspondence was received from the Badminton Association of WA requesting that Council reconsider their application for assistance as they assumed that Council was participating by contributing one third ($15,465 of a total cost of $46,400) towards the project. The CSRFF grant was for a number of minor projects designed to enhance the Kingsway Stadium as a Badminton Centre. The BAWA has indicated that the projects will increase the marketability of the Centre as the State Headquarters for Badminton.
The BAWA has advised that they have undertaken further project works on the assumption that Council will be providing these funds. They believe that they are not in a financial position to continue with this project until the funds are available.
Comment
As indicated above, the Badminton Association of WA received a 9 ranking and the development proposed by BAWA was designed to increase patronage. While the improvements may be useful in making the facility more suitable for Badminton, it was recommended in a report tabled at the 24 October 2000 Council Meeting as difficult to justify a Council contribution at this stage. As a result Council did not include a contribution towards the BAWA project in the 2001/2002 final budget.
It should be noted that a separate report requesting Council support for recently approved CSRFF projects in the 2002/03 budget has been included within the agenda. This report deals specifically with the BAWA request to fund a project approved by the Department of Sport & Recreation in February 2001 and not funded by Council in 2001/02.
Administration is not supportive of this request by BAWA because at no stage did the City indicate that Council would contribute towards this project and it was ranked low at the time of submission.

Consideration of revocation of permission granted for an exemption to Council’s Local Laws made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 to keep six dogs at 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara.
Background
Clause 14 of the City of Wanneroo Animal Local Laws 1999 stipulates:
A person shall not keep or permit to be kept on any premises more than:
a) 2 dogs over the age of 3 months and the young of those dogs under that age; or
b) 6 dogs over the age of 3 months and the young of those dogs under that age if the premises are situated with a rural area or comprise a lot in a special rural area having an area of 4 hectares or more,
unless the premises are licensed as an approved kennel establishment or have been granted exemption pursuant to section 26(3) of the Dog Act and have planning approval under the town planning scheme.
An application was received for an exemption to Council’s Local Laws made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 to keep six dogs at 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara.
The property, 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara is zoned special rural and has an area of 1.1875 hectares.
Two residents adjacent to 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara were consulted by letter to ascertain if they had any objections. Both residents sent letters to Council in support of the application.
A report was submitted and Council at its meeting on 27 November 2001 resolved the following:
1. GRANTS an exemption to the City of Wanneroo Animal Local Laws 1999 made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 for the applicant to keep up to six dogs at 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara subject to the following conditions;
a. The maximum number of dogs on the property is not to exceed six;
b. Any barking by the dogs is to be kept to a minimum;
c. This exemption may be varied or revoked if any complaints are received which are considered to be reasonable.
2. RESERVES THE RIGHT to vary or revoke, at any future date, the exemption given to the applicant should any relevant conditions be contravened.
Detail
Two written complaints have been received from neighbours of 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara (including one of the adjacent residents that supported the initial application) complaining about the number of dogs on the property and also that the dogs were barking and yelping.
A Ranger attended at the addresses of the complainants and personally delivered official complaint forms together with fourteen day diaries used to record the times and dates of the dogs barking. The diaries are used to determine the degree of barking, and provide evidence to prove an offence under Section 30 of the Dog Act. The completed diaries were subsequently returned to Council and an abatement notice was served on the resident of 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara. The recipient of the abatement notice was given fourteen days to abate the alleged nuisance. The complainants were given another set of fourteen day diaries to be used after the required time had lapsed, which were subsequently completed by the complainants alleging that there was a barking dog nuisance.
Consultation
As part of the initial application process, two residents adjacent to the applicants’ property were consulted by letter to ascertain if they had any objections. Both residents sent letters to Council in support of the application. One of these residents has since lodged a written complaint concerning the dogs barking and yelping.
Comment
In considering this matter the following two options are available:
a) Council may continue to grant an exemption to the City of Wanneroo Animal Local Laws 1999 made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 to the applicant at 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara to continue to keep six dog subject to conditions;
b) Council may revoke or vary the exemption given to the resident.
Council resolution CD07-11/01 reserved the right for Council to vary or revoke, at any future date, the exemption given to the applicant if any complaints are received which are considered to be reasonable. Given that two written complaints have been received, concerned about the number of dogs at 171 Sydney Road, Gnangara and also that the dogs bark and yelp, it is recommended that the exemption be revoked.
In accordance with Section 26(5) of the Dog Act 1976 Council must advise the applicant that they may appeal Council’s decision by writing to the Hon Minister for Local Government within twenty eight days of receiving notice of Council decision.
Council may grant the applicant an extension of twenty-eight days in order for the relocation of four dogs.
Statutory Compliance
The application for exemption and revocation to Council’s Local Laws made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976, has been detailed in this report.

Council to approve changes to the Girrawheen Library opening hours
Background
The Girrawheen Library is open four week days from 10am to 8.30pm (closed Wednesdays) and on Saturday mornings from 9am to 12 noon for a total of 45 hours per week.
The Girrawheen Library is situated in an area with a high crime rate. The library building has been frequently vandalised including broken windows, graffiti sprayed on the building, pet food spread across windows. Vehicles parked in the car park have been vandalised and there are issues with unruly behaviour in the library by young people that can be threatening to and unpleasant for staff and library users.
These actions all discourage the community from using the library, particularly at nights, and place staff in a threatened and stressful situation.
Detail
The Library is open to 8.30pm on four week nights. As many of the problems occur at night a reduction in the evening opening hours will reduce the risk to staff and library users.
The proposal is to open over the five week days but be open late on one night only.

Current Open Hours |
Proposed Open Hours |

SAT |
9.00am to 12.00 |
9.00am to 12.00 |
The proposed opening hours provides an earlier opening each week day and opening on the Wednesday and provides 48 hours opening, which is an additional three hours. The Thursday late night matches the shopping centre late night so there may be some activity in the adjoining shopping centre car park.
The revised opening hours can be achieved with current branch staffing levels. Opening to 8.00pm two nights a week spreads staff too thinly.
It is expected the proposed new hours will be more popular with the community as there will be no closed day which will provide better utilisation of the library.
Consultation
The 2001 Girrawheen Library user survey included a section to allow library users to comment on the library opening hours. Nearly 200 library users completed the survey of which 25 responded to the Library hours question. 16% wanted the library opened on Wednesday; 16% wanted longer weekend opening hours; 16% wanted earlier opening at 9.00am or 9.30am and 12% liked the late opening because of work commitments. The remainder were satisfied with the existing hours.
Comment
There is a real issue with actual and perceived safety and security at the Girrawheen library which impacts significantly on the usage of the library. Usage of the Girrawheen library, in terms of items borrowed, is significantly less than other public libraries with a similar stock size.
Other libraries in the Perth metropolitan area have been changing opening hours, including opening on normally closed days, to provide a better service to more residents. The City of Stirling libraries have changed from a traditional 10.00am to 8.30pm with one week day closed to 9.00am to 5.30pm every week day with two nights open to 8.00pm, except for Mirrabooka which is only open one night. The City of Joondalup is considering changes to the opening hours to the branches other than Joondalup to open on Wednesdays and to open to 8.00pm only on two nights per week as part of a multi year proposal to open to 8.00pm all week nights and extended hours on weekends. The City of Swan’s Ballajura library, which is used by a number of residents in the Girrawheen library service area, is open 10.00am to 8.00pm weekdays.
Issue statistics show the heaviest use of the library, as measured by items borrowed on an hourly basis, occurs during mid morning after opening and mid afternoon when the schools close, with usage declining at night, particularly after 8.00pm when there are very few transactions.
Changing the opening hours will assist by having the library open at times when more of the community use the library and will improve the security and safety of staff. It is proposed that these changes be implemented for a 6 months trial period.

Issue
Approval for the donation of the horse drawn cart located outside the Gloucester Lodge Museum to the Shire of Menzies.
Background
The cart was purchased by the Gloucester Lodge Museum Management Committee in the early 1980s as it was thought the museum should have such an item. Its purchase was not approved by the Curator at the time as the cart was from the Menzies district, and therefore had no significance for the Shire of Wanneroo collection. Following the split into City of Wanneroo and City of Joondalup the cart is one of the heritage assets jointly owned by the two authorities but it is in the care of the City of Wanneroo.
The cart is located outside the Gloucester Lodge building.
Detail
The cart is deteriorating due to its exposed location and is a potential hazard. Its condition is not a good promotion for the City of Wanneroo's heritage collection.
As the cart is from Menzies it has no historical connection with Wanneroo.
The Shire of Menzies, which is setting up a heritage display, has indicated its interest in acquiring the cart. It has been provided with photographs, is aware of its current condition and is willing to pay for the transport of the cart to Menzies.
Consultation
The Gloucester Lodge Museum Advisory Committee has recommended its donation to Menzies, as has Council’s Heritage Services Advisory Committee.
A letter has been written to the City of Joondalup seeking its approval, as joint owner of the former City of Wanneroo Heritage Collection, to donate the cart to the Shire of Menzies.
Comment
If the cart is to be retained by the City of Wanneroo there will be costs for its restoration and costs for a covered protective display area. The City could potentially be liable if the cart is left in a public place in a deteriorating condition.
The donation of the cart to the Shire of Menzies will assist the Shire in the development of its heritage displays and it is appropriate as the cart was originally from that area.

Issue
To consider a request from Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland to utilise surplus grant funds from a City of Wanneroo Community Funding Grant.
Background
In January 2001 Council approved a Community Funding Grant to the value of $2,455.00 to the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland, for a Weedbuster Week 2001 initiative. The group had carried out Weedbuster Week activities in 2000 and carried on this tradition in 2001, with the assistance of the City of Wanneroo grant.
During Weedbuster Week, the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland initiates activities in local bushland as a community (youth) education and weed removal programme. Schools are invited to participate in education sessions about local weeds, their history and their impact on the natural bushland. This is followed by on-site weeding (coordinated by Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland).
Detail
In facilitating the 2001 Weedbuster Programme, the Friends of Koondoola Bushland have accumulated a grant surplus of $1,165.75 from their original grant allocation of $2,455.00. This is due to a reduced amount of school participation than originally anticipated (six schools, rather than twelve as stated in Attachment 1), in the original funding request.
A recent letter from the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland Committee (Attachment 2) requests that the balance of the grant provided by Council be retained by the group to support the continuation of the programme in 2002.
Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland intend to make a further funding submission to the Community Funding Program in the April 2002 round to compliment this request to Council.
They envisage that increased prior notification to schools (eg. invitations being distributed earlier) in conjunction with additional funds that may be provided by the City should increase participation numbers to at least twelve schools.
Should their application for additional Community Funding be unsuccessful, the remainder of the original grant (if Council approves the retaining of this amount by the group) will be adequate to provide the Weedbuster Week program to approximately six schools.
Consultation
Nil
Comment
The request from the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland to retain the balance of their original grant allocation does not deviate from the original purpose of the grant and represents a continuation of the original project.
The group have acquitted the proportion of the funds that have been expended, as required by Community Funding Guidelines and have not applied to Council for further Community Funding since the original grant allocation.
Acquittal information indicates that Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland have acknowledged the City of Wanneroo’s support and provided a positive service to the community.
It is therefore recommended that the grant surplus of $1,165.75 be retained by Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland to continue previously supported Weedbuster Activities.
Statutory Compliance

Strategic Implications

Policy Implications

Financial Implications
The original grant amount of $2,455.00 was allocated to Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland within the 2000/2001 financial year. The retaining of the balance of these funds will have no direct impact upon this budget, however, if the funds are not retained and are returned to Council, the remaining budget for Community Funding in 2001/2002 will be increased by $1,165.75.

Recommendation
That Council:-
1. APPROVES the retention of $1,165.75 in surplus funds from the original Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland Community Grant Funding of $2,455.00, for the continuation of Weedbuster Week activities in 2002.
2. NOTES that the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland intend to make a funding submission to the Community Funding Program in the April 2002 round to compliment any retained project funds.

Issue
This report seeks Council endorsement of a proposed schedule of Safer Citizens Urban Design Projects throughout the City.
Background
Urban design initiatives are one of the six core components of the City’s Safer Citizens community safety and security program.
This component of Safer Citizens looks at ‘designing out’ features that may contribute to criminal and anti-social activity in new and existing suburbs. In the 2001/02 financial year, a provision of $70 000 was endorsed to resource the implementation of a series of urban design initiatives.
A series of projects have been identified and are presented for consideration.
In the period from November 2000 to February 2002, safety and security urban design initiatives within the program have seen the preparation of a set of safety and security urban design guidelines for the City, and a case study at Koondoola Plaza Shopping Centre. Both of these documents will be the subject of a separate report to Council at this meeting.
Two urban design demonstration projects have also recently been completed at the Wanneroo Civic Centre Precinct and Anthony Waring Park in Clarkson. Both of these projects have involved lighting of area where high levels of anti social activity have been experienced.
Recently the City assisted the Marangaroo Residents and Ratepayers Association with a Safety and Security grant for the installation of street lighting along the footpath connecting Park Lane and Alexander Drive in the Alexander Ward.
Lighting in all three projects has been viewed positively by Community Safety Officers, who have reported a reduction of anti social activity in these areas.
Detail
The following projects have been identified through a compilation of various processes including community feedback, internal and external consultation and the interpretation of statistical data, gathered since the inception of the Safer Citizens Program in November 2000.

Issue
Consideration of community requests for donations and the waiver of fees and charges for 9 April 2002.
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:
· Ms Doreen Carter for a waiver of fees (or partial contribution) for the Chi Dynamics group using the Senior Citizens Centre, 936 Wanneroo Road,
· Australian Medical Procedures Research Foundation for a donation to the Northam Rehabilitation Campus.
Each of these applications is summarised on the following pages, along with an assessment and recommendation. Letters of application are attached, (see Attachments 1 and 2).
A further request was received from Wider Horizons Action Group but with insufficient information to make a decision at this time. A further report will be presented to Council once this information is provided.

Assessment and Recommendation |
Ms Doreen Carter – Chi Dynamics |
A waiver of fees (or partial contribution) for the Chi Dynamics group using the Senior Citizens Centre, 936 Wanneroo Road. The group has increased in number from 7 to 16 and would like to move from Activity Room 1 to the Lesser Hall. |
$1,205.88 Or partial contribution |
It is recommended that this donation not be approved, given that: · Current participants in the Chi Dynamics are not required to pay an attendance fee. Participants are requested to make a donation (usually $4.00-$5.00) but this is not compulsory · A minimal attendance fee paid by all participants would assist in this matter. For example, a $3.50 fee paid by an average 10 participants for 52 weeks of the year would result in income of $1,820.00. · RECOMMENDATION: That Council DOES NOT SUPPORT a donation of $1,205.88 or partial contribution to Ms Doreen Carter for a waiver of fees for the Chi Dynamics group using the Senior Citizens Centre, 936 Wanneroo Road. |
Australian Medical Procedures Research Foundation |
Donation to the Northam Rehabilitation Campus, operating as a Naltrexone treatment facility for 18 patients in residence. |
$2,000.00 Or partial contribution |
It is recommended that this donation not be approved, given that: · The Northam Rehabilitation Campus is outside the City boundaries, · The City has had little or no involvement with the Rehabilitation Centre and its activities in the past. · RECOMMENDATION: That Council DOES NOT SUPPORT a donation of $2,000.00 or partial contribution to Australian Medical Procedures Research Foundation for the Northam Rehabilitation Campus. |

Issue
Consideration of recommendations contained in the Report of the Strategic Review into the City of Wanneroo, prepared by the Department of Local Government and Regional Development.
Background
At the Ordinary Council Meeting of 27 November 2001, a Report was presented on the administrative recommendations resulting from the final Report of the Strategic Review Panel into the City of Wanneroo (Refer to Attachment 1).
Council resolved to:
”1 Note the Recommendations contained in the Report of the City of Wanneroo Strategic Review, and note that copies have been made available for viewing at Council libraries and at the Administrative Centre.
2 Endorse the administrative recommendations as detailed in Attachment 1, as a response to the issues raised in the Strategic Review.
3. Agree to consideration of a second stage response to the Strategic Review to be undertaken in the context of the review of the Code of Conduct at the Policy Forum in February 2002.”
Detail/Comment
At the Policy Forum dated 26 March 2002, the Chief Executive Officer facilitated discussions on the second-stage response towards the recommendations raised in the Report of the Strategic Review. The presentation to the Policy Forum had been delayed until March because of the need to prioritise other issues for discussion at the February Policy Forum.
The comments of Council Administration on the outstanding issues in the Strategic Review Report are set out as follows:
Panel Recommendation |
Comment |
1. Elected Members accept there are personality differences, the negative impacts of which need to be minimised by professional conduct and behaviour. |
The issue is addressed in Council’s Code of Conduct, which is being reviewed and is subject to a separate report to Council. |
2. All Members must adhere strictly to the Standing Orders when in Council |
The Standing Orders Local Law requires that all Council meetings be governed by it. This is the established practice of Council. |
4 Council undertakes a team building exercise to strengthen relationships. |
The strategic planning process, which included several workshops and the drafting of a set of corporate values, has helped develop a more general sense of teamwork. Elected Members and staff have also undertaken a variety of social and organisational activities which have indicated that Council is more generally operating as a team. |
5. That in addition to regular briefings to Councillors on the functions and strategic direction of each Directorate, specific strategic workshops be conducted for the Community Development Directorate to provide Councillors with a comprehensive understanding of diversity and nature of its services and functions and personnel.
|
Through the development of Council’s strategic plan, Council sets the direction for each directorate. Directorate business plans including Community Development have been presented to Council and this process will continue through the presentation of Directorate budgets. |
6. Council undertake an intensive review of the Code of Conduct to incorporate local attitudes and so enhance elected member ownership of the code. Guidelines to the Code should be developed as of this review. |
Council is reviewing of the Code of Conduct in a separate report to Council. The proposed Code of Conduct includes a variety of new provisions. The establishment of appropriate values in the strategic plan will also assist this review. |
7. Council puts in place a disciplinary committee consisting of three independent people which would consider allegations of breaches of the code of conduct. |
A disciplinary committee is not considered to be necessary if the Code of Conduct is applied. There are also other means of investigation such as through the Department of Local Government. Local governments with few exceptions do not have in place any disciplinary mechanism in their Code of Conducts. |
8. Council adopt the format for staff reports as outlined in the package: Agendas and Minutes: Support Documents for Western Australian Local Government (Version 2) |
Documentation for Agendas and Minutes reviewed during development and implementation of the Romark Reporting System. Council Minutes and Agendas now exceed the requirements of the Department of Local Government. |
9. Council undertake a three-months trial during which time a set period of perhaps two hours in the day before the ordinary meeting of Council would be set aside by the Directors to answer councillor’s questions regarding issues in the agenda. |
The CEO and Directors are available to meet Elected Members between 4 – 6.00pm every Monday prior to the Council Briefing. This initiative commenced from Monday, 17 September 2001. |
10. The CEO gives a high priority to overcoming the electronic communication problems being experienced by some elected members. |
A further review of elected member computing needs has been undertaken. Administration has now introduced a Councillors Home-page on the City’s Web-site. Elected Members are now offered the option of the City meeting the cost of an ISP address.
|
11. Some issues regarding Public Question Time to be reviewed. |
Public Question Time appears to be operating well and is well supported by the community.
|
12. Councillors Question Time to be removed from the agenda. |
A recommendation in support of this proposal was adopted by Council at its meeting on 19 March 2002. An amendment to Standing Orders to remove Councillors Question Time will be subject to Public Submissions.
|
13. Councillors be required to stand when speaking to a motion or addressing the Chair. |
It is not considered necessary that Councillors stand. Standing Order 11.3 provides that they shall be heard without disturbance and the microphone light indicates which councillor is speaking. It should also be noted that the current sound system in the Chamber would not suit Councillors standing. |
14. Council develops a policy for the acceptance of late amendments to recommendations. |
It is difficult to further develop Council current policy in this regard without restricting Elected Members ability to be able to respond to information raised during the debate on an item which may give rise to the need to pose an amendment. Administration has amended the current procedure to when possible provide copies of amendments/ alternative motions to the public. |
15. That the Deputy Mayor be seated with the rest of the Councillors instead of alongside the Mayor. |
Deputy Mayor Salpietro has moved to sit with other Councillors. |
16. Councillors undertake training in meeting procedure, including the effective use of Standing Orders. |
An Interactive Workshop has been scheduled for Elected Members on the Monday 6th May 2002. |
17. That a projection screen be provided so that all participants in a council meeting are informed about the motion that is subject to a vote. |
A large screen has now been installed which increases clarity of projection. Listed for consideration in the draft 2002/03 Budget is the provision of two large screen televisions to further assist the gallery read the motion that is subject to the vote. |
18. That Council develops a training strategy and provides adequate funding in Budget. |
Policy on Elected Member Conference and Training adopted at Council Meeting on 5 November 2001. |
19. That Councillors continue to avail themselves of all opportunities to undertake training to ensure they are adequately prepared for their role. |
Several Elected Members have attended a variety of training courses including the WALGA Elected Members Training Modules.
|
20. A more formal meeting process is adopted for the policy forum sessions, particularly in relation to identifying and prioritising the issues and topics to be included in the Agenda. Simple notes from the sessions should be compiled and distributed to all. |
Status report of Projects and Policies presented to Council at the Policy Forum. Policy Forum notes have been improved to provide more detail.
|
21. A more flexible process be adopted for the briefing sessions to allow councillors the opportunity to provide comment and seek clarification on issues. |
Briefing Sessions seem to be operating well, Elected Members are highlighting items at briefing sessions that require further information. Council to provide comment |
22. Council undertakes a complete review of the CEO performance appraisal process. |
CEO contract provides clear performance targets and method of conducting performance appraisal. CEO’s performance linked to the strategic plan and is reviewed by Council. |
23. Provision for councillor input be included in the performance appraisal process for senior staff. |
Directors performance reviews now include a provision for Elected Member feedback. Elected Members are not involved in performance appraisals of Managers as they are not designated as Senior staff under the provisions of the Local Government Act. |
24. Council request the local newspaper to document the facilities provided for elected members and give the community the opportunity to pass judgement. |
Improvements to the elected members area have been carried out. No benefit is seen in the documentation of the facilities for the media.
Members of the public can always be provided with a tour of these improvements if a request is made. |
In summary it is considered that all of the listed recommendations in the Report of the Strategic Review have been addressed. The Report contains a number of other comments and suggestions from the Panel. Individual Elected Members may wish to raise these at the Council meeting.

The procedure adopted for the Review was:
· An initial meeting with the Mayor, CEO and Chairman of the Review Panel to clarify the process of the review and develop the Terms of Reference;
· Confidential feedback forms were distributed to all councillors and senior officers for completion;

- a joint interview was conducted with the Mayor and the CEO;
- individual interviews were conducted with 15 councillors and six senior officers;

· A draft report was prepared for discussion in April 2001.
· Elected members and senior staff were given the opportunity for further meetings with the Panel after the release of the draft report.
· The final Report was prepared and released on 2 November 2001.
Section 7 of the Report details outcomes of assessment against each of the Terms of Reference, and includes Recommendations to enhance the policies, procedures and practices of Council. A table of all the Recommendations is included at Appendix 1.
This Report outlines the progression of the administrative recommendations. It is suggested that all other aspects of the Recommendations are reviewed at a later date as part of the Code of Conduct.
Consultation
The Peer Review Panel consulted with the Mayor, elected members, the CEO and senior staff. Although public comment was not sought, individuals took the opportunity of discussing the Terms of Reference with the Chief Executive Officer.
Comment
It was acknowledged in the Report of the Strategic Review (1(4)), that it is a weakness in the local government sector that reviews of the overall performance of a Council and its administration have not been a high priority. The City of Wanneroo was commended for its action in being prepared to participate in a review.
Overall the Panel acknowledged the achievements and performance of the City in a period of learning and growth. The Report does highlight a number of areas where Council and Administration can work together to improve its reporting, standards and practices.
The expectation of the review was that it would highlight areas where Council is performing well, and identify areas to be addressed. Whilst the administrative aspects of the Report can be considered immediately, other aspects are best considered in the context of Council’s Code of Conduct Review planned for February 2002.
It is recommended that copies of the Final report are made available to the public at Council Libraries and at the Council Administration Centre.
Statutory Compliance
Statutory provisions exist under the Local Government Act (1995) for issues relating to Council standards and meeting practices.
Strategic Implications
It is recommended that a Training Strategy for elected members is included in the Strategic Plan.
Policy Implications
Code of Conduct & Standing Orders to be reviewed.
Financial Implications
Current financial year – Nil. Increase in training budget may be required in the future.

Recommendation

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR ELECTED MEMBERS AND OFFICERS
This Code of Conduct sets out the principles of good conduct and standards of behaviour, which are expected of Elected members and officers.

The Code establishes a guide to best practice for Elected Members and officers in the performance of their duties and responsibilities and prescribes conduct for Elected Members and officers to deliver the high ethical and moral standards in government expected by the Wanneroo community.

Message From the Mayor
Welcome to the new City of Wanneroo’s Draft Principal Activities Plan. This plan brings to life the Strategic Plan for the City of Wanneroo. I was pleased to see the extensive community involvement in the development of the Strategic Plan both at the initial stage of the plan when Council undertook an extensive market research campaign to the final stage when both Elected Members and staff went out into the community to discuss one-on-one with the community about the proposed plan.
The plan aims to provide our residents and ratepayers with an overview of the major activities and undertakings we, your elected council, anticipate providing the City.
We welcome your input and ideas, particularly in areas related to capital works and infrastructure development for our rapidly growing City.
Using as its base our Strategic Plan, the Principal Activities Plan is divided into 4 broad areas. Accompanying each section is a brief narrative, which describes our strategic objective, the anticipated expenditure and major projects, both capital and operational, and the measures we will use to determine whether our objectives have been achieved.
It is important to note that this is a draft and may be modified following a six-week public consultation period, in line with both your feedback and our financial constraints.
As part of the consultative process, your Councillors and the City’s Administration are available to discuss your issues and ideas.
I encourage you to consider it and provide us with your valued feedback.
Jon Kelly
Mayor, City of Wanneroo
INTRODUCTION
The City of Wanneroo is pleased to present this Principal Activity Plan to residents and landowners for review and comment. The Plan covers the four-year period from 2002/2003 to 2005/2006 The Plan is updated annually and is made available to residents and landowners for comment each year.
The City of Wanneroo is one of the fastest growing local government areas in Australia. Located 22 km north of Perth, the City covers an area of 687 km2 and boasts a coastline of 32 km running from Two Rocks in the north to Mindarie in the south. The City of Wanneroo is a blend of rural and residential developments consisting of 310 km2 rural and 40 km2 residential and on average provides 25% of the residential lots in Perth, a trend that will result in a population growth from 83,000 residents to around 130,000 people over the next ten years,
Council recently undertook an extensive market research campaign to develop an understanding of our communities concerns and aspirations for the future of Wanneroo. Based on this research Council will focus on four key areas being:
Ø Environmental Sustainability
Ø Healthy Communities
Ø Economic Development
Ø Corporate Management
Our Principal Activity Plan incorporates projects, which support these core areas.
What is a Principal Activities Plan?
Under the Local Government Act 1995, each year the Local Government is required to prepare a plan of its principal activities for the next four or more years. The plan must be developed in conjunction with the community and, when finalised, will be taken into consideration with the adoption of the annual budget for the City.
The plan is an overview of the significant programs and activities proposed by the Council over the next four years. Its objectives are:
Ø To provide the community with information relation to the proposed principal activities; and
Ø To offer the community the opportunity to lodge submissions in relation to the proposals for consideration by the Council.
The Plan contains:
Ø A description of the principal activities proposed to be commenced or continued during the next four years;
Ø An explanation of why they are being carried out, the expected costs, how they are expected to be funded and how their performance will be measured; and
Ø An estimate of the total income and expenditure for each of the four years.
The Plan is revised and made available for public comment annually, prior to the finalisation and adoption of the annual budget. This enables the opportunity to:
Ø Update income and expenditure estimates;
Ø Change priorities to reflect changing circumstances;
Ø Add, modify or delete according to needs; and
Ø Respond appropriately to changes of community needs and perceptions, as expressed through submissions lodged each year and issues which may arise during the course of each year.
Reporting on the Plan:
Each year, within the City’s Annual Report, the performance measures identified against each principal activity will be reported on. This may take the form of statistics, dialogue or figures and may be quantitative or qualitative, depending on the measure.
What are Principal Activities?
The Local Government Act 1995 describes principal activities as:
Ø Major capital works projects;
Ø Major services;
Ø A program for the replacement of major assets;
Ø Major land transactions; and major trading undertakings.
It is up to each local government to examine its existing and proposed activities to determine which are appropriate for inclusion in the Principal Activities Plan. For the purposes of this Plan, the Council has decided to consider the five Directorates of Council for principal activities being the Office of the Chief Executive Officer, Community Development, Planning & Development, Technical Services and Corporate Services:
The five Directorships of the City of Wanneroo focus on the following four strategic goals.
a) Environmental Sustainability

· Conserve and enhance environmental assets
· Develop sustainable waste management options
· Support efficient use of water, energy and other resources
· Foster a culture of environmental awareness, ownership and action within the community and the organisation.
b) Healthy Communities
To foster an identity that promotes lifestyle choice and provision of quality services and infrastructure .
· Achieve an understanding of our community’s needs – present and future
· Provide a cohesive system of integrated land use planning
· Support and encourage the delivery of a safe and effective transport network
· Support safe and secure communities

Basis for Financial Estimates:
Within this document, all income and expenditure figures are estimates based upon the information available to the City at the time of preparation. They are expressed in current dollar terms. Consequently, some revision of estimates can be expected in response to inflation and other price variations beyond the control of the local government. The preliminary figures and the sources of funding will be further reviewed in the overall budget process. The Capital Works Projects will be reviewed following development of the budget.
Terminology:
“general purpose funding” means the sum total of current year rates levied, grants received from the Western Australian Local Government Grants Commission and any other funding which is not tied to a specific purpose.
“reserves” means monies set aside for future use on specific activities;
“tied funding” means any monies received for a specific purpose which must be expended on that purpose alone.
MAJOR NEW CAPITAL WORKS PLANNED FOR 2002/03
The Capital Works program will provide for the development of high quality facilities to support the quality of life of our community as well as maintain and improve current infrastructure to across the City to provide equality to all.
In line with the City’s Strategic Plan, major capital works for the coming year are grouped under our four strategic goals as follows:
Environmental Sustainability
Conservation of Reserves
Council proposes to invest $ $100,000 on rehabilitation including activities at Yellagonga Regional Park and Montrose Park.
Foreshore and Coastal Management
Over 1.3 million dollars is to be considered in the budget for the conservation and enchantment of our beautiful coastal environments.. Major works proposed include the seawall construction and sand renourishment program at Quinns Beach at an estimated cost of $1.23 million dollars with proposed grant funding of $700,000.
Stormwater Management
With the sensitive wetland and coastal environments within the City Of Wanneroo, the appropriate management of storm water is an important issue for the City. It is proposed to invest $300,000 in storm water management this year.
Healthy Communities
Parks and Sporting Facilities
Wanneroo is a community which values the wide variety of parks and sporting facilities within the City. Council proposes the following activities in this area:
· $280,000 towards park furniture including an upgrade of junior playground equipment in over seven parks
· $335,000 towards the enhancement of Council’s passive parks including $250,000 towards landscaping of dry parks.

In addition Council proposes to spend over $618,000 towards sport facilities improvements including $300,000 for Irrigation, turf and landscaping.
Transport
Road & Traffic
Management of Council’s road and traffic network together with the constructions and expansion of the network is a major component of the City’s expenditure each year. This year Council intends to invest in excess of $6.1million dollars. Significant projects include works at Hester Avenue (Marmion Ave to Hidden Retreat) and Hepburn Ave (The Avenue to Alexander Drive). Council estimates receiving $1.06 million of government funding.
The built environment forms a significant component of the visual environment of a community. To reduce the visual impact of major roads within the City Council proposes to spend over $210,000 in landscaping works in this area.
Footpath and Bicycle
Being a mobile community that is conscious of the need to conserve natural resources and being environmentally aware, Council has made a strong commitment to the provision of high quality bicycle and pedestrian access ways. Over $600,000 has been proposed for expenditure in this area. Significant projects include the construction of a dual use pathway in Yellagonga National Park, a dual use path along Wanneroo Road (west side from Woodvale Drive to Scenic Drive).
Security and Urban Renewal
Community safety is a major area of focus for the City. Community Safety can be improved by improvements in the following areas:
Security
Through an extensive community consultation program, the community have indicated that they support the continuation of the Safer Citizens project for the City of Wanneroo. Council is proposing to review the current Safer Citizens program and consider the impact of providing an additional $500,000 to further enhance this program. This represents a possible investment in the Safer Citizen program of 2 million dollars.
Street Lighting
It is proposed to spend $250,000 on street lighting which will improve traffic safety and encourage our community to interact with their neighbours.
Urban Environment
Over $515,000 is proposed to be spent in renewing communities including $480,000 towards the New North Redevelopment in association with the Ministry of Housing who have been requested to assist in jointly funding this project ($240,000).
