FOR ELECTED MEMBERS’

BRIEFING SESSION

to be held at

the Wanneroo Administration Centre, Dundebar Road, Wanneroo

on Wednesday 08 May, 2002, commencing at 8.30 am.


PROCEDURE FOR FULL COUNCIL BRIEFING

 

PRINCIPLES

 

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

 

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

 

PROCESS

 

The briefing session will commence at 7.00 pm every third Tuesday.  It will be chaired by the Mayor or in his/her absence the deputy mayor.  In the absence of both, councillors will elect a chairperson from amongst those present.  In general, Standing Orders will apply, EXCEPT THAT members may speak more than once on any item, there is no moving or seconding items, officers will address the members and the order of business will be as follows:-

 

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

 

Ø  Attendance and Apologies;

Ø  Public Question Time

Ø  Declarations of Interest;

Ø  Reports for discussion;

Ø  Tabled Items;

Ø  Closure.

 

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

 

AGENDA CONTENTS

 

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

 

AGENDA DISTRIBUTION

 

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

 

DEPUTATIONS

 

Deputations will generally not be heard prior to the agenda briefing session. These will be reserved for either the Policy forum sessions held the week following the Full Council meeting or as is currently the case, prior to the Full Council meeting.

 

RECORD OF BRIEFING

 

The formal record of the briefing session will be limited to notes regarding any agreed action to be taken by staff or elected members.  No recommendations will be included and the notes will be retained for reference and not generally distributed to elected members or the public except on request. 

 

LOCATION

 

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

Issue

Consideration of an amendment to the Regent Waters (South) Agreed Structure Plan.

 

Applicant

Roberts Day Group

Owner

Department for Planning and Infrastructure, R Duffy, C E Duffy Nominees Pty Ltd, K and P Oakley

Location

Lots 3, 110 and 200 Backshall Place, Wanneroo

Site Area

10.5572 hectares

MRS Zoning

Urban

DPS 2 Zoning

Residential

Background

On 24 November 1998, the Joint Commissioners adopted a Structure Plan for Regent Waters (South), relating to the land bounded by Ocean Reef Road, Calabrese Avenue, Yellagonga Regional Park and the developed Regent Waters (North) estate (refer Attachment 1).  The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) subsequently adopted the plan as an Agreed Structure Plan (ASP).

 

The ASP made provision for Residential zoning over this land.  Due to the multiple land ownership, rather than creating 10% Public Open Space (POS) in each landholding, the ASP made provision for three large POS areas within the ASP area.


As this would result in some landowners providing more than 10% POS and others less than 10% POS within their landholdings, the ASP made provision for a mechanism to compensate those who would provide surplus POS. Attachment 2 depicts the POS schedule, indicating those lots with a shortfall or surplus.

 

The Roberts Day Group, acting on behalf of the owners of Lot 3 and 110 Backshall Place, sought subdivision approval from the WAPC.  As a referral agency, the City did not support the subdivision design as it did not conform to the ASP. The applicant has therefore proposed an amendment to the ASP.

Detail

The proposed amendment has been submitted on behalf of the owners of Lots 3 and 110 and relates to the entire portion of the ASP area to the south of Backshall Place, being Lots 3, 110 and 200.  These lots are identified by the ASP as being Precinct C.  The proposal seeks to redesign the road layout and redistribute the POS areas within this precinct (refer Attachment 3).

 

The ASP makes provision for 1.0557 hectares of POS within Precinct C, which represents 10% of the land area.  The entire POS is however currently located within Lots 3 and 110.  Under the revised plan, Lot 3 would have a surplus POS of 876 m2 and Lot 110 a shortfall of 876 m2.  Lot 200 would have its full 10% POS area of 2907m2.  The proposed redistribution does not affect the total extent of the POS required for Precinct 3 (refer Attachment 4).

Consultation

Under Clause 9.7 of the DPS2, public notification of a proposed amendment to the ASP can be waived if the amendment is considered to be of a minor nature which does not materially alter the intent of the ASP.  In this instance the owner of Lot 200 (Department for Planning and Infrastructure) has advised that it supports the amended plan.  On this basis and as the proposed amendments are considered to be of a minor nature which do not materially alter the intent of the ASP, public notification of this amendment is not considered necessary.

Comment

The applicant has amended the ASP by locating the POS areas taking into account the remnant native vegetation in this area. The POS proposed within Lot 200 would also retain some of the significant trees.  The modified road network is robust and permeable and would provide easy access to the POS and the nearby bus routes.

 

The amendments are considered reasonable and are therefore supported.

Statutory Compliance

Under the provisions of Clause 9.7 of the DPS2, Council may amend an ASP subject to the approval of the WAPC.

Strategic Implications

The proposal is consistent with the Healthy Communities goal under the City’s Strategic plan which seeks to provide for quality services and infrastructure.

Policy Implications

The proposed road layout of the modified ASP satisfies the City’s Uniform Fencing Policy whereby more than 50% of the residential component fronting Ocean Reef Road is served by a service road.

Financial Implications

Nil

Voting Requirements

Simple Majority.

Issue

Consideration of a proposed amendment to the East Wanneroo Cell 6 Local Structure Plan (LSP) as it relates to Part Lot 2 Wanneroo Road, Madeley.

 

Applicant

Drescher and Associates

Owner

Carnarvon Tourist Centre Pty Ltd

Location

Part Lot 2 Wanneroo Road, Madeley

Site Area

2.0822 hectares

MRS Zoning

Urban

DPS 2 Zoning

Urban Development

Background

The East Wanneroo Cell 6 LSP was adopted by Council on 18 December 2002 (Item PD06-12/01) and has been sent to the Western Australian Planing Commission for adoption and certification.

 

The LSP designates Part Lot 2 Wanneroo Road as Residential (R20) and for public open space purposes. The lot is 2.0822 hectares in area and is located approximately 200 metres north of the intersection of Kingsway and Wanneroo Road (refer Attachment 1).  The site currently contains the Lush-Gro Nursery.

 

The site is situated between two developing residential estates to the north (Patanal Pty Ltd) and south (Australand Pty Ltd).  The estate to the north is currently under construction and the estate to the south has been developed within approximately 70 metres from Part Lot 2.

 

The site originally formed part of an application to subdivide Lots 2-6 Wanneroo Road, Madeley (which incorporated the two developing estates to the north and south of this site) for residential purposes in a form generally consistent with the current LSP (refer Attachment 2). The subdivision application was submitted by Development Planning Strategies, on behalf of Australand Pty Ltd (with the consent of the current owner of Part Lot 2) and was approved by the WAPC on 21 March 2001.  Subsequent to subdivision approval, negotiations between Australand Pty Ltd and the owners of Part Lot 2 broke down. The landowners of Part Lot 2 no longer wish to participate in the Australand subdivision and are now seeking to vary the LSP as it relates their lot, to facilitate a medium density development site (refer Attachment 3).

 

The landowners have indicated that an alternative layout has been prepared to enable the sale of the land to facilitate the relocation of the nursery use to another more appropriate location.

Detail

The proposal seeks to amend the LSP by altering the design to accommodate a grouped housing site of 9082 square metres and to recode the residential component of the lot (except one proposed lot in the south west corner of the site) from R20 to R40 (see Attachment 3).  The applicant’s arguments in favour of the proposal are summarised as follows:

 

1.         The site is well located adjacent to the Lake Goollelal Reserve and Wanneroo Road which is a major public transport route and provides access to nearby shopping centres and the City.

2.         The R40 coding to the eastern portion of the site is consistent with the City’s approach to creating medium density sites surrounding areas of open space.

3.         The proposed road pattern does not affect development of the adjoining landholdings.

4.         The plan retains adequate pedestrian and vehicular circulation throughout the locality.

5.         A much larger R40 site already exists to the north of this site within the Patanal subdivision.

6.         It is the developers intention to orientate development on the group housing site to all road frontages.

7.         The road entering the site from the north will be used to provide access to the group housing site.

8.         The proposal avoids the need for land exchanges with the landowner to the south.

9.         A design concept for the grouped housing site is currently being prepared.

Consultation

Under Clause 9.7 of the DPS2, public notification of a proposed amendment to a structure plan can be waived if the amendment is considered to be of a minor nature which does not materially alter the intent of the structure plan.  The applicant has requested that Council consider the proposal as a minor variation and therefore waiver the requirement for notification or alternatively seeks a 14 day advertising period.  The applicant has written to the two adjoining landowners requesting any comments be submitted to the City.  Both of these landowners have contacted the City to specifically request that public advertising be carried out to ensure that the local residents and developers have a proper opportunity to comment on the proposal.  The landowners have indicated opposition to the proposal on the basis that medium density housing opportunities already existing in the vicinity and the impact of the proposal on the adjoining landholdings.

Comment

The principle of providing R40 sites within this lot is generally in keeping with the City’s practice of encouraging medium density housing adjacent to major public transport routes and areas of public open space.

 

Although the redesign represents a less permeable road configuration, the overall road design identified in the adjoining subdivision approvals is not compromised and the more significant vehicle and pedestrian links are maintained.


The subdivision of the adjoining landholdings can progress in accordance with the existing subdivision approvals and as such, are not considered to be substantially compromised.

 

Two areas of concern however relate to the termination of a proposed road at the northern boundary of the site and the irregular shape of the group housing site.  These concerns could be overcome by extending the proposed road from the north to link with proposed road along the western boundary of Lot 2 and confining the medium density grouped housing site to the eastern side of this link road. The remaining residential land to the west of the link road would remain as R20 housing sites.  This change is indicated as dashed lines on Attachment 4.

Statutory Compliance

The amendment to the structure plan will follow the statutory process outlined in Part 9 of District Planning Scheme No. 2.

Recommendation

That Council pursuant to Clause 9.7 of the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No.2, DETERMINES that:

1.         the proposal to amend East Wanneroo Cell 6 Structure Plan as submitted by Drescher and Associates on behalf of Carnarvon Tourist Centre Pty Ltd is not supported due to the termination of the proposed road at the northern boundary of Lot 2 and the irregular configuration of the proposed grouped housing site.

2.         the modified plan as contained in Attachment 4 to this report is satisfactory and should be advertised for a period of 28 days.

Issue

Consideration of an application seeking to amend the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No 2 (DPS2) to recode Lot 645 (40) Greville Way, Girrawheen from R20 to R30.

 

Applicant

Department of Housing and Works

Owner

Department of Housing and Works

Location

Lot 645 (40) Greville Way, Girrawheen

Site Area

1679m2

DPS 2 Zoning

Residential R20

MRS Zoning

Urban

Background

The subject site is located at the north western end of Greville Way, Girrawheen.  Liddell Reserve and Wanneroo Road are located to the west of the site (refer Attachment 1).  The site has a land area of 1679m2.  Surrounding residential properties are also zoned Residential R20.

 

In the 1970’s eight bed sit units were constructed on the site.  On 17 September 2001, the City issued development approval for conversion of the units into four aged person’s dwellings. This conversion has since been undertaken.

Detail

Under the current R20 coding, the site has a maximum development potential of 3 dwellings.  With the 50% density bonus available for aged persons dwellings under the Residential Planning Codes (R-Codes), this potential can be increased to 5 aged persons dwellings.  Under the R30 coding, the site will have a maximum development potential of 5 dwellings however, with the same density bonus, this potential can be increased to 7 aged persons dwellings.

 

The site currently accommodates four aged persons dwellings and if the amendment is successful the applicant intends to develop an additional 2 aged persons dwellings on the vacant portion of the site.  A concept plan showing the existing and proposed development is shown on Attachment 2.  A formal development approval will be required should the amendment be successful.  As the concept plan does not contain sufficient detail for a proper assessment, it should not be afforded any status other than a broad outline of the applicants’ ultimate development intention for the site.


Consultation

Under the provisions of the recently amended Town Planning Regulations, consent to advertise from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is not required if an amendment is consistent with the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) and other state planning policies and strategies.  In this instance, the proposal is considered consistent with the urban zoning under the MRS and various WAPC policies which seek to provide for a diverse range of housing types.  Should Council resolve to support this amendment, the WAPC’s consent to advertise would not be required.

Comment

The site has already been developed as an aged person’s development with the northern portion of the site being undeveloped.  The amendment would facilitate the development of the remaining portion of the site and the concept plan gives a broad outline of the applicant’s development intention for the site.  The development would be consistent with the New North Redevelopment Programme, which aims to upgrade and diversify the housing stock in Girrawheen and Koondoola.  The site is suitably located adjacent to both a park and Wanneroo Road which is a major public transport route. It is also located within 1km of medical and commercial facilities at Newpark Girrawheen District Centre.

 

The amendment is also considered appropriate as it would provide a necessary form of accommodation for aged person’s. Aged person’s housing is required in most residential areas in recognition of an increasing percentage of aged residents within the City.

 

It is noted that spot codings within the City are generally not supported, however in this instance the amendment is considered appropriate. Accordingly support for the proposal is recommended.

Statutory Compliance

The amendment will be processed in accordance with Section 7 of the Town Planning and Development Act and the Town Planning Regulations.

Strategic Implications

Provision of aged persons housing is consistent with the Healthy Communities goal under the City’s draft Strategic Plan.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Issue

To consider the adoption of a Local Structure Plan for Lot 201 Breakwater Drive, Two Rocks.

 

Applicant

Chappell & Lambert Planning Consultants

Owner

Mirvac-Fini

Location

Lot 201 Breakwater Drive, Two Rocks

Site Area

278.5ha

DPS 2 Zoning

Rural Community Zone No 1

Background

Lot 201 is situated on the northern side of Breakwater Drive, approximately six kilometres northeast of the Two Rocks townsite (refer location plan - Attachment 1).

 

At its meeting on 27 November 2001 (item PD14-11/01), Council considered the draft Local Structure Plan for Lot 201 Breakwater Drive, Two Rocks, and resolved inter alia, to advertise it for public comment subject to the applicant providing a satisfactory Part 1 Statutory Section and modifying the plan to relocate some building envelopes.

 

Council also identified a number of issues requiring additional information/consideration prior to final adoption of the Structure Plan, as follows:

 

1.         Specialist consultant’s advice on karstic issues and additional provisions in the Karst Management Plan.

2.         Consideration of road related matters.

3.         Inclusion of additional provisions in the Fauna and Vegetation Management plan.

4.         Inclusion of additional provisions in the Drainage Nutrient and Water Management Plan.

5.         Inclusion of additional provisions in the Fire Management Plan.

Detail

A copy of the draft Structure Plan is shown on Attachment 2.  The key features are as follows:

 

·         The Plan comprises 139 rural residential lots ranging from 1.0ha to 4.5ha in area. 

·         Each lot has a 2000sqm building envelope located to maximise the retention of significant vegetation. 


·         Public open space (POS) areas have been provided to protect two significant stands of trees at the northwest and southeast parts of the site.  An additional area of POS is located along one of the entry roads to Breakwater Drive, which is also the proposed location of a community purposes site for the development (as required under the Special Provisions).

·         Two entry roads from Breakwater Drive.

·         A bridle trail network which extends between the subdivisional road network, the POS areas and along the north, east and west boundaries of the land.  These also serve as strategic firebreaks and emergency vehicle access points.

·         A possible homestore or corner store site is identified on one lot on the main eastern entry road.

·         The lots are to be serviced by a reticulated water supply.  Sewage disposal is to use aerobic treatment units or modified septic systems.

 

As part of Council’s consideration of this matter, a number of issues were identified as requiring additional information/consideration prior to final adoption of the LSP.  These matters have been subject of discussions between relevant Council officers and the applicants, and together with the additional requirements of State Government agencies resulting from submissions received, the various matters have now been addressed and the Structure Plan documents modified accordingly.  Details of agency comments and details of how matters have been addressed are provided in the Comment section of this report.

 

A copy of the revised Structure Plan incorporating modifications required by Council and the requirements of other State agencies is appended to this report as Attachment 3.  A copy of the revised Structure Plan document has been placed in the Elected Members Reading Room.

 

Furthermore, Council also required that a consultant be commissioned to provide specialist advice on matters associated with karstic landform issues for the Structure Plan and associated environmental management plans (part 2 of Council’s 27 November 2001 resolution refers).  This requirement resulted from assessment feedback from Council officers and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that karstic information required to address the environmental conditions for the land was the domain of a specialist consultant (the City and DEP do not possess the necessary expertise). 

 

The landowner (Mirvac-Fini) commissioned the consultant Logiden Pty Ltd (Dr Brian Logan) to carry out the review of karstic information in accordance with a brief agreed by the City and DEP and with the consultants’ report to be delivered directly to the City and DEP for consideration.  The appointment of Dr Logan (who is known to DEP officers) was agreed by both the City and DEP.  The Logiden report was submitted in late March 2002.

Consultation

The application has been advertised for public comments for a period of 42 days in accordance with Council’s resolution.  It was advertised by means of an on-site sign and an advertisement placed in the Wanneroo Times newspaper.  Copies of the Draft Structure Plan were made available for inspection at the City’s Administration Centre and also the Two Rocks library.  Relevant government agencies were written to and invited to submit comments.  The submission period closed on 25 January 2002.  The City received eight submissions from State Government departments/agencies and one public submission. 


Comment

Logiden Report on Karstic Landform Issues

City and DEP officers reviewed the Logiden report and met with Dr Logan in April to discuss the report’s findings.  The report conclusions were that the works undertaken to date in preparing the Structure Plan and environmental management plans was satisfactory, particularly in respect of the medium to higher risk karstic areas on the western part of the site, and that further drilling and other works (as specified in the Works Schedule for karst analysis forming part of the environmental conditions in DPS2) is unlikely to necessitate any major modifications to the lot layout, boundaries, locations of roads and services, etc.  For the identified low-risk areas occupying some ¾ of the overall site, however, the report recommends an additional drilling program (of 15 identified drill sites throughout the eastern part of the site) and preparation of a number of geological maps and logs based on the drilling.  The additional works program could occur following approval to the Structure Plan and prior to subdivisional application. 

 

Consequently, it is recommended that the Logiden report be incorporated into the Structure Plan documents, and to enable enforcement of the required works, the recommendations be incorporated into the Part 1 statutory document of the Structure Plan.  This now forms part of the revised Structure Plan documentation.

 

Comments raised in the submissions are outlined below, together with information responding to the comments raised.

Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA)

Comment

FESA indicates Fire Hydrants are to be installed at 400 metre intervals (as prescribed in the final Planning for Bush Fire Protection Policy dated December 2001) and not 500 metres as per the proposed structure plan.

Response

Relevant provisions in the Fire Management Plan and Part 1 Structure Plan document have been modified accordingly.

Aboriginal Affairs Department

Comment

The Department has given advisory information to ensure compliance with the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 during subdivisional works.

Response

A copy of the Department’s letter has been provided to the applicant.

Department for Planning and Infrastructure

Comment 1

The bridle trail in the northwest corner of the estate is to be constructed of a minimum limestone base standard to accommodate emergency fire access.

Response 1

The applicant has agreed that this standard is able to be accommodated, and the WAPC will be able to enforce this requirement at the subdivision application stage.

Comment 2

Laneways in the southeast to be re-examined to accommodate rubbish services, trucks etc.

Response 2

The Structure Plan has been redesigned to delete the laneways by extending the cul-de-sac road to service most of the lots in the southeast portion of the site.  Access to only two lots is to be via battleaxe access legs of 5 metres width.  An indicative bin bay location is identified on the plan for Lots 40 and 41.

Comment 3

Some of the lots need to be balanced up (to approx 2.5ha) to be of similar size, for example the 4.5ha lot in the southwest to be reduced in size to prevent further subdivision of the lot while increasing the size of the lots abutting it.

Response 3

The Structure Plan has been redesigned to better balance the lot sizes in the southwest part of the site (no lots larger than 2.8ha).

Comment 4

Home Store provisions in the Structure Plan with regard to floor space allocation and inclusion of provisions to guide development being included in the Part 1 document or specify in Part 2 provisions for possible home store, then an amendment to the Structure Plan at a later stage may be appropriate to justify what can be done on the site, as lack of provisions may cause confusion and problems.

Response 4

The Structure Plan has been modified to delete the reference to ‘possible’ homestore or corner store, rather it refers to a corner store with a maximum floorspace of 100sqm NLA to provide certainty. 


Comment 5

A significant tree assessment or landscape identification plan being prepared for the site - this should be prepared by the developers botanist in conjunction with the City’s Landscape Architect, with the pegging and tagging of significant trees (to be marked on the plan).

Response 5

Significant tree assessment information has been provided by the applicant in the Fauna and Vegetation Management Plan.

Comment 6

With regard to staging of development, access points need to be fully constructed and preferably roads regardless of staging of development for fire/safety risk management.

Response 6

This matter is able to be addressed through the subdivision approval process.

Comment 7

The community purpose site in the southeast corner may require provisions in the structure plan.

Response 7

The requirement for a 5000sqm community purposes site is listed in the Special Provisions for the land, having been established as a requirement of the WAPC during the rezoning process for the land.  The community purpose site has been identified as part of the southern POS area on the Structure Plan.  Additional provisions relating to the community purpose site are not considered necessary at this time.

Comment 8

Appropriate fencing and fire breaks should be constructed as part of the subdivision. 

Response 8

Provisions in the relevant environmental management plans and the Part 1 document require the installation of fencing to the perimeter of Lot 201 prior to any subdivisional works, together with the installation of the strategic fire break system. 

Comment 9

Limit the height and location of dwellings on ridges (specifically in the north west corner) to prevent overlooking and visual intrusion for sites lower down the ridges and from the regional open space. 


Response 9

It is considered that formal provisions in the Structure Plan to address this matter are unnecessary given that only a small number of lots would be affected by this, and the low density of development and limited vegetation clearing that would occur in the estate would limit any visual intrusion and overlooking concerns.

Comment 10

Building envelopes are to be identified and marked on the Structure Plan, and positioned away from significant trees on each lot (following significant tree assessment or landscape identification plan) in order to retain as many trees on each lot as possible.

Response 10

The building envelopes have been identified to minimise the disturbance of vegetation (and considering the significant tree assessment already undertaken), and these are marked on the Structure Plan accordingly.  In addition, the building envelopes are to be pegged for approval of any tree removal at the time of subdivision

Comment 11

Changes to wording of some of the Part 1 provisions is required.

Response 11

The specified modifications have been made.

 

DPI also provided verbal confirmation that it currently has no requirement for the road shown on the North West Corridor (Yanchep) Structure Plan of 1993 to pass along the western edge of the subject land.  This confirmation was required as part of several road-related matters to be addressed as part of Council’s 27 November 2001 resolution.  The several other road matters have been subject of discussions with the applicant and are able to be addressed through the subdivision process.

Water Corporation

The Corporation has no additional comments (previous comments have been addressed).

Department of Conservation and Land Management

Comment

The Department raises no objections to the proposal, however has requested the following matters be incorporated into several of the management plans:

 

·         The strategic firebreaks should be surfaced with compacted limestone to enable better management and fire access to the proposed subdivision. The suggested minimum width for the limestone is 4m.

·         In the information to be provided to site construction personnel, it is requested that specific emphasis be given to dieback management and the potential effects of the disease to the vegetation in the area.

·         Reference to the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority (no longer a statutory authority) to be replaced with Conservation Commission.

·         A Department lock to be placed on gates adjoining State Forest or Bush Forever sites so in the event of an emergency Departmental staff can gain access or egress through these points.

·         Confirmation of responsibilities for ongoing weed control and monitoring is required. Due to the urban interface with State Forest and Bush Forever sites there is an increased likelihood of broad scale weed invasion into these areas.  An ongoing commitment to monitoring and control of weeds is required.

Response

The matters raised by CALM have been satisfactorily incorporated into the relevant management plans.

Agriculture Western Australia

Comment 1

Some concerns are expressed regarding the keeping of horses on the proposed lots.  It is considered that unless a high level of management can be shown and the horse is stabled for the majority of the time and hand fed the majority of lots around l ha would not be able to stock a horse on non-irrigated pasture.

Response 1

The keeping of a maximum of one horse per lot as per Special Provisions for the land was established as part of the Environmental Review and scheme amendment process (Amendment 837 to former TPS1) which was subject of detailed assessment and consultation with the relevant State agencies.  General Provision 1.1.2(k) of Schedule 15 of DPS2 also provides that Council may only grant approval to the keeping of a horse on one of these lots if vegetation requiring protection has been suitably fenced to provide such protection.

Comment 2

The Department considers that the Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management Plan does not adequately deal with issues of erosion and sediment loss from the site.

Response 2

It is considered that the relevant management plan does adequately address erosion and sediment loss and has been supported by the Water and Rivers Commission (in its submission prior to advertising of the Structure Plan) and DEP.


Department of Environmental Protection

The Department has confirmed its support for the findings of Logiden’s report on Karst issues associated with the development, subject to the additional works being undertaken prior to subdivision approval.  No other concerns have been raised in respect of the Structure Plan and environmental management plans.

Main Roads WA

The draft Structure Plan is acceptable to Main Roads.

Public Submission

Comment 1

The submission expresses disappointment that the option to undertake the Rural Community development has not been chosen. There has been minimal community input in the design and management strategies.  There is no provision for community building in the designated POS.  If the community were more involved it may relieve the City of maintenance of POS, bridle tracks, irrigation, vegetation protection and fire management under a Rural Community concept, the community could become a self regulating group with a management strategy.

Response 1

These comments probably relate to the fact that the cluster form of subdivision has not been chosen for this Structure Plan.  The Special Provisions and Structure Plan provisions will require that the developer initially and the ultimate landowners will have responsibilities for many of the issues raised.

Comment 2

Bushland conservation is noted.  The two areas of POS are not connected, the firebreaks and roads also further deplete the vegetation along with karstic drilling and the requirement for low fuel zones. 

Response 2

These comments are noted.  While the Special Provisions for the land restrict land clearing, it is not possible to undertake the development without some vegetation loss.  The identified POS areas are not connected, however were required to be provided to retain the significant stands of trees on the site.

Summary

As noted in the preceding sections of this report, a number of issues were identified as requiring additional information/consideration prior to final adoption of the LSP.  These matters have been subject of discussions between relevant Council officers and the applicants, and together with the additional requirements of State Government agencies resulting from submissions received, the various matters have now been addressed and the Structure Plan documents modified accordingly.  It is recommended that Council finally adopt the duly modified Structure Plan documents.

Statutory Compliance

The Structure Plan has been assessed in accordance with Clause 9.6 of DPS2.

Strategic Implications

This proposal is consistent with the Healthy Communities goal of the City’s draft Strategic Plan which refers to the promotion of lifestyle choice.

Issue

To determine an application for one illuminated sign on the eastern façade and two illuminated signs and one sign painted logo on the northern façade of the Video Ezy building located at Lot 998 (981) Wanneroo Road, Wanneroo (refer Attachment 1).

 

Applicant

Wayne Miller Signs

Owner

Kelshore Pty Ltd

Location

Wanneroo

Site Area

0.3993ha

DPS 2 Zoning

Centre

Background

Application was made to the City for various signs on the above mentioned lot, including directional, pylon, panels, flagpoles and menu boards related to the approved developments on the site. The application addressed the eastern elevation (Wanneroo Road) only and was approved on the 22 February 2000 subject to conditions, which were subsequently appealed against by the applicant and upheld by the Minister.

Detail

The proposal depicts two illuminated ‘DVD’ signs measuring 1.2m in height and 1.8m in width, one illuminated ‘Video Ezy’ sign measuring 1.2m in height and 6.0 metres in length and a sign painted logo. The DVD signs are to be positioned on the northeast corner of the building on the facades fronting Wanneroo Road and Church Street, and the Video Ezy sign and sign painted logo are to be positioned on the northern elevation (refer Attachment 2).

 

Consultation

 

The application was not formally advertised as the illumination and potential glare from the signs was considered insignificant in the context of the existing street and car park lighting and light emanating from the windows of the building. The City has acknowledged that concerns were raised previously from adjacent landowners in relation to the illuminated signage.

Comment

When considering an application for approval to erect, place or display an advertisement, Council is required to consider the application in light of the objectives of the Scheme, with particular reference to the character and amenity of the locality within which it is to be displayed, including its historic or landscape significance and traffic safety, and the amenity of the adjacent areas which may be affected.

 

The DVD and Video Ezy sign although illuminated, are setback approximately 19.0 metres from the road frontages of Wanneroo Road and 9.0 metres from Church Street and are considered typical of developments of this type. The illumination and potential glare from the signs is considered insignificant in the context of the existing street and car park lighting and light emanating from the windows of the building. The signage is not proposed to flash and is unlikely to have an adverse impact, causing glare on the nearby residential area. In light of the above, the concerns raised by adjacent landowners were found to be unsubstantiated.

 

The signage is not perceived to potentially create a distraction to motorists or pedestrians nor detract from the amenity of the area and is considered to meet the objectives of the Scheme, in that it:

 

·         Is unlikely to erode the visual quality and character of the locality or transport corridor;

·         Is unlikely to be misleading or dangerous to vehicular or pedestrian traffic;

·         is not excessive in terms of the area and impact of the signage commensurate with the realistic needs of commerce;

·         is not considered superfluous or unnecessary by virtue of their number, colours, height, prominence, visual impact, size, relevance to the premises on which they are located, number and content;

·         does not create clutter; and

·         promotes a high standard of design and presentation in outdoor advertising.

 

The sign painted logo is however considered unnecessary when viewed amongst the existing signage on the eastern façade, the proposed illuminated signs on the northern façade and the previously approved pylon sign. Therefore the application is recommended for approval subject to the deletion of the painted logo on the northern façade.

Statutory Compliance

The proposed illuminated signage is considered to meet the objectives of the Scheme in relation to the control of advertisements and the requirements of the Sign’s Local Law 1999. The sign painted logo, however is considered contrary to the objectives of the Scheme as it is considered unnecessary when viewed amongst the existing signage on the eastern façade, the proposed illuminated signs on the northern façade and the approved pylon sign.

Issue

Development Applications determined by Planning & Development between 1/04/02 and 30/04/02, acting under Delegated Authority from Council.

Background

Nil

Detail

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Development applications determined by Planning & Development between 1/04/02 and 30/04/02, acting under Delegated Authority from Council are included in the attached Schedule 1

Consultation

Comment

Statutory Compliance

A Delegated Authority Register was adopted by Council at its meeting on 14 August 2001 (item W340-08/01 refers).  The decisions referred to in schedule 1 of this report are in accordance with this register.

Strategic Implications

Nil

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Planning applications incur administration fees which are generally based on the Town Planning (Local Government Planning Fees) Regulations and have been adopted by Council in its annual budget.  The estimated cost of development for each application is listed in schedule 1.  Applications where an estimated cost has not been provided, are either applications for the exercising of discretion or for a change of use.

Issue

Determination of subdivision applications processed in the period between 1 April and 30 April 2002 under delegated authority.

Detail

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The following table provides the details of the subdivision applications dealt with under delegated authority between 1 April and 30 April 2002.

Issue

To consider the adoption and release for public comment of a draft Management Plan prepared for the Gnangara Lake Reserve (GLR).

Background

The GLR has been suffering a loss of environmental and social value for a considerable period of time, owing to several different factors, including the following:

 

·         Uncontrolled off-road vehicle access;

·         Weed invasion;

·         Phytophthora dieback;

·         Poor Fire management;

·         Inappropriate facilities;

·         Poor access;

·         Water quality;

·         Bushland fragmentation and inappropriate tracks; and

·         Fragmentation of ownership and management responsibilities.

 

In recognition of this, at its meeting of 6 February 2001 (Item W20-02/01) Council resolved that it:

 

“1.       Defers the upgrade of reticulation works at Lake Gnangara Park, as approved in the current budget, until a new Management Plan for the park is prepared to reflect the current policies and practices.

 2.        Approves the preparation of a brief for the appointment of a consultant to prepare a new Management Plan for Lake Gnangara Park.

 3.        Lists for consideration in the draft 2001/2002 Capital Works Budget an amount of $100,000 for fencing, signage and associated restoration works for Lake Gnangara Park.”

Detail

The various land parcels comprising GLR are vested with the City of Wanneroo, Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) and Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM).  This fragmentation of ownership and therefore management responsibility means that the site has not previously been considered in a holistic manner. 


The existing Management Plan dates from 1990 and is considered to be significantly outdated owing to improvements in environmental awareness, knowledge, policy, legislation etc.  The plan also only considers land vested with the City.

 

To ensure the best possible outcomes the brief for quotes to prepare the Management Plan was prepared in consultation with the CALM and DPI.  After consideration of submissions, environmental consultants ATA Environmental were subsequently engaged by the City to prepare the Management Plan.  The DPI and CALM have both expressed support for the development of the Management Plan, with the CALM contributing to the process by engaging a consultant to map the extent of Phytopthora dieback in the reserve.  Representatives from both agencies have also been involved with the preparation process with their comments requested at several stages.  A copy of the draft Management Plan has been placed in the Elected Members reading room.

Consultation

The draft Management Plan was prepared with the involvement of the CALM and DPI and the City’s Conservation Advisory Committee.  A workshop was held with the City’s Conservation Advisory Committee and other invited stakeholders to examine options for the reserve on 10th October 2001.  It is now intended to release the draft for public comment for a period of 6 weeks.  Copies of the plan will be distributed to the DPI, CALM, Water and Rivers Commission and adjoining landowners for formal comment as part of the consultative process.

Comment

The draft GLR Management Plan seeks to improve the environmental and social qualities of the Gnangara Lake area by considering the bushland and wetland as a single portion of land.  Each of the relevant agencies will be responsible for adopting and implementing the Management Plan as it relates to land under its management.  The draft GLR Management Plan is intended to be reviewed within 5 years and makes a number of recommendations under the following headings:

 

·         Principal management directions;

·         Conservation;

·         Recreation;

·         Leases and commercial operations;

·         Community relations;

·         Research and monitoring; and

·         Implementation.

 

The detailed list of recommendations under each of these headings is set out in Attachment 1 of this report.  Each recommendation has been allocated a timeframe for implementation and a responsible agency to ensure that it is carried out.  The primary focus of the draft Management Plan has been to control off-road vehicle access, enable pedestrian access, improve facilities including carparking, prevent further bushland degradation and enable rehabilitation.  The Plan proposes that the reserve be divided into 3 zones each with a different management focus. 


The zones are:

 

·         Conservation and Protection Zone;

·         Recreation Zone; and

·         Rehabilitation Demonstration Zone.

 

The plan indicating these zones and other recommendations is set out in Attachment 2 of this report.  The extent of each zone is based upon the quality of the vegetation and existing land uses.  The Conservation and Protection Zone comprises most of the site, with the Rehabilitation Demonstration Zone occupying land that was formerly used as a quarry.  The proposed Recreation Zone areas refers to the existing semi-developed areas.  The Management Plan recommends that conservation should be established as the principal management direction, with any other uses to be compatible with this.

Strategic Implications

The draft Gnangara Lake Reserve Management Plan is consistent with the City’s draft Strategic Plan (SP) and its goal of Environmental Sustainability.  A suggested action of the SP is to “review and develop management plans for priority sites”. 

Policy Implications

The review of the Management Plan is consistent with the City’s policy on Environmental Sustainability which has the following objectives:

 

To:

·         Protect and enhance the natural and human environment for the benefit of present and future generations;

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

·         Take advantage of environmentally beneficial opportunities.”

Financial Implications

The Management Plan has financial implications for all 3 landholders – the City of Wanneroo, CALM and DPI, with each landholder being responsible for its portion of land.  The draft Plan makes recommendations for works in several areas that will ultimately cost a considerable amount.   (Attachment 3 refers).

 

The cost estimates are for the total land area and have not been broken down into areas that are the responsibility of the 3 landholders.  The plan notes that any rehabilitation undertaken will need to be a long term proposition, owing to the high cost involved and identifies 3 sites as priorities, with most of the area being on land managed by the DPI or CALM.  The adoption of a Management Plan may assist the City in obtaining funds from other sources to assist with the proposed works schedule. 

 

Council has $100,000 allocated in the current financial year budget for fencing and associated works for this reserve.

Voting Requirements

Simple Majority.

10.       SUMMARY OF MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

 

All of the management strategies included in this Management Plan are listed in Table 7. Each of the management strategies has been assigned a rating for implementation that identifies those strategies that should be focussed on initially and those that can be implemented at a later time. 

 

The rating system applicable as part of this Management Plan is as follows:

 

High [H]                      primary importance, implement immediately (within 2 years)

Medium [M]                secondary importance, implement within 2 –5 years 

Low [L]                       longer term consideration, implement within 5-10 years

 

The agency that should have primary responsibility for implementing or overseeing implementation of the management strategy is nominated in Table 7. In several instances all of the landowners or vesting authorities of land within GLR are considered responsible for implementation of the strategies, while for others the primary role for implementation is assigned to a single agency.

 

The nominated responsible agency may change subject to the negotiations and outcome of strategies to establish a Regional Park (P4) and establishment of the coordinating group (P5) and interim formal management arrangements (P6).

Issue

Consideration of an extension of time to allow relocation of an unauthorised manufacturing business.

Background

In April, 2002, following a Councillor Request, the City investigated a rural property in Mary Street, Wanneroo, and observed metal roof trusses stored on the lot. An investigation later revealed the trusses were being manufactured in a large shed on the lot.

Detail

The subject land is zoned “ Rural Resources” under District Planning Scheme No 2 where manufacturing processes fall within the definition of “general industry” or ‘light industry”.  Both definitions are “X” uses, which are not permitted uses, for that zoning.

 

As the City has no discretion to consider such a use, a notice to discontinue the business within 14 days was issued by the City. The lot owner contacted the City and requested a time extension and was subsequently offered three months to relocate.

 

In response, the landowner wrote to the Mayor alleging the complaint was laid by a vindictive neighbour. He claimed not to have been aware of the planning requirements and requested a twelve month moratorium on the closure of the business.

 

He was advised that a three month period was felt to be an appropriate, and reasonable time to find and relocate to an approved site. The City now understands the owner has requested a six month period for this.

Comment

Manufacturing is a use that is not permitted in a Rural Resource zone.

 

Once the City is made aware of any illegal activities it is obliged to take the necessary action to bring about compliance.  The City has endeavoured  to do this within a timeframe which is considered to be reasonable, however this does not suit the circumstances of the owner.

 

Council has two options available on this matter:

 

1.         It can support the request for an extension of time to provide six months for the activity to cease.

 

2.         If, however, it is felt that the six month moratorium is too excessive and creates administration difficulties in monitoring the non-permitted use, Council can reject the application and support a three month deadline for the closure of the unauthorised activities on the lot.

Statutory Compliance

The current manufacturing activity being conducted on the subject lot is illegal under DPS No 2 and therefore must be discontinued.

Issue

The purpose of this report is to consider the installation of parking prohibition signs and associated kerb and footpath works in Calvert Way, Girrawheen.

Background

Parents accessing Girrawheen High School use Calvert Way to pick up and set down their children. The former City of Wanneroo/Joondalup constructed carparking embayments in 1998. Complaints have been received from the school regarding sight distance being obscured by parents parking on the northern verge, to the west of the school’s crossover.

Detail

Issues identified as a result of a site visit were:

·         Most of the school catchment area is located towards Koondoola/Girrawheen and not Marangaroo. Both pedestrian and motorist activity is generated from these directions via Calvert Way.

·         The carparking embayments on Calvert Way east are not being utilised by parents and similarly the eastern carpark within the school is not being fully utilised by teachers and
Year 12’s.

·         Vehicles parked on the northern verge, west of the crossover for the entry to the school are obstructing sight distance for motorist and pedestrians.

·         Vehicles parked on the southern verge (in front of the residences) blocked driveways and contributed to the deterioration of any grassed area on the verge.  Vehicles also parked contra flow in the carparking embayments.

·          Vehicles parked on the footpaths.

 

Outcomes to resolve many of the issues were identified as follows:

·         Install “No Stopping Road or Verge” signs on the southern verge of Calvert Way (to preserve the residents amenity and access to their properties) and on the northern verge of Calvert Way to enhance sight distance for those egressing from the school’s carpark.

·         Modification of the kerb profile to semi-mountable kerb in order to restrict vehicles mounting the verge.

·         Reconstruction of the footpath to safely blend with the new semi-mountable kerb

·         Modification to the school’s crossover.

Consultation

Consultation has taken place with the residents of Calvert Way who will be affected by parking prohibitions and the Principal of the school.  All are in agreement with the parking prohibition signs being installed and the modifications to the kerb and footpath.

Comment

The installation of a new kerb profile on the southern side of Calvert Way will encroach into the old footpath and a section of the footpath will therefore require reconstruction.  It is also an opportunity for residents to improve their crossovers and enhance their refurbished houses.

 

The installation of the parking prohibition sign on the road or verge will not be impeded by the proposed kerb modifications and can be installed immediately. This will enhance sight distance for both pedestrians and motorists egressing from the school site and will allow motorists travelling on the road network clearer vision of pedestrians and cyclists also using the road network. However, the kerb and footpath works are an integral part of the scheme to resolve the parking problems in Calvert Way and their implementation as part of the sign installation is supported.

 

Attachment 1 details the location/extent of the proposed parking prohibitions.

 

The estimated cost of the kerb and footpath remedial works is $15,000. The Education Department WA has not allocated any funds to the Wanneroo Junior Primary School Project (50% funding by each party), and the City funding of $30,000 in the 2001/2002 Capital Works Budget will not be expended.  It is recommended that the works at Calvert Way be funded from this source with appropriate budget reallocation to be actioned.  The remaining budget of $15,000 allocated to the Wanneroo Junior Primary School Project is available for reallocation.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

This proposal to install parking prohibition signs in Calvert Way, Girrawheen is consistent with the goal of “Healthy Communitites” in the City’s draft Strategic Plan and in particular with the objective to support and encourage the delivery of a safe and effective transport network.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

A budget reallocation from Project No. 2193 (Wanneroo Junior Primary School, Shaw Road) totalling $15,000 is requested to fund remedial works at Calvert Way in support of proposed parking prohibitions.  A new project number will need to be allocated for this work to be titled as Calvert Way Parking Prohibition Remedial Works.

Issue

To obtain concurrence with the speed limit changes on Brazier Road, Yanchep as requested by Main Roads Western Australia.

Background

Recently the City became aware that Brazier Road from Two Rocks Road to Wilkie Avenue (in front of the Yanchep Lagoon kiosk) became a dedicated road under the care and the responsibility of the City as at 14 September 2001.  As a result Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) was requested to review the speed limit and road safety signs on this road. The current speed limit on Brazier Road is 60km/h.

Detail

MRWA has advised that it proposes to remove the current 60km/h speed limit on Brazier Road between Yanchep Beach Road and Wilkie Avenue and implement a 50km/h speed limit.  This change will rationalise the speed limit to 50km/h for the whole of the Yanchep townsite.  The revised speed limit will extend a distance of 150m north of the Yanchep Beach Road/Two Rocks Road intersection.  It is then proposed to change to 70km/h for the next 500m and thereafter revert to the existing 90km/h speed limit – refer Attachment 1.

Comment

The Brazier Road alignment contains a set of reverse curves and in the last five years a number of recorded crashes of the “Out of Control” or “Runoff Road” type have occurred.  It is the main access to the lagoon/kiosk area, which also attracts a large number of visitors. Brazier Road also provides alternative access to local residences.

 

MRWA has already indicated that the “proposed change has the endorsement of the Officer in Charge, Two Rocks Police Station”.

 

In considering the above information and in the interests of road safety for all road users, it is suggested that the proposed changes to the speed limit be supported.

Statutory Compliance

MRWA is responsible for speed zoning and associated signage while the WA Police Service is responsible for enforcing speed limits in accordance with the Road Traffic Code.

Strategic Implications

This proposal to reduce the speed limit in Brazier Road to 50kph is consistent with the goal of “Healthy Communities” in the City’s draft Strategic Plan and in particular with the objective to support and encourage the delivery of a safe and effective transport network

Comment

The reconstruction of Evandale Road to urban road standard with kerbing, drainage and asphalt seal has recently been completed as part of land development for the section between Kingsway and the Landsdale Farm School. When Hepburn Avenue, between Giralt Road and Mirrabooka Avenue is constructed there will be further upgrading works and modifications undertaken to Evandale Road between the Landsdale Farm School and Friendly Way. At the time of preparing the funding submission for an asphalt overlay to Evandale Road, a firm commitment for the upgrading of Evandale Road and construction of Hepburn Avenue had not been made. Given this commitment is now in place, it is recommended that Council advise Main Roads WA of these new developments and withdraw the Evandale Road Rehabilitation submission  as it no longer complies with the guidelines.

 

With the remaining approved projects there is a requirement for Council to fund a minimum of one third the total cost of the works. On this basis, the recommended funding in the  draft 2002/2003 Roadworks Capital Works Budget is summarised below:

Issue

Budget reallocation to utilise savings from Project Number 1159 – Caffagio Crescent and Senario Drive to accommodate a shortfall in funding for the Franklin Road Shoulder Reconstruction Project as part of the Roads to Recovery Programme.

Background

The City received funding  under the Federal Government Roads to Recovery Programme and allocated it to three projects as part of the 2001/2002  Capital Works Budget. Major works for one of these projects (Project No 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

2130

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 and Senario Drive, the scope of works was reviewed resulting in a reduction of the extent of earthworks, 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 unexpended funds in the order of $104,000 are available for use on 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.

 


Council considered a report on this matter at its meeting on 9 April 2002 and approved the reallocation of $65,000 from Project No 1159, Caffagio Crescent and Senario Drive – Road Construction to Project No 1213, Rangeview Road Reconstruction Project to meet the shortfall in funding for an increased scope of works for the project.

 

Franklin Road, Wanneroo is currently in the process of being upgraded between  Trichet Road and Caporn Street. This project involves shoulder reconstruction to establish a 7.4 metre wide carriageway width, with 1.2 metre wide unsealed bitumen emulsion stabilised shoulders. It is funded from Project No 2130 which has a $320,000 approved budget allocation for this purpose. At the completion of this project the existing sealed surface will be asphalt resurfaced to a 7.4 metre width utilising the 2001/2002 Metropolitan Regional Road Program funding for this purpose.

 

A fundamental component of this upgrading project is to provide adequate drainage provisions on either side of the road. The normal rural standard drainage comprises open table drains with culverts across crossovers where required. Physical site constraints such as lamp posts, crossovers, boundary wall levels and underground utility services dictate that some kerbing and underground piped stormwater drainage will be necessary to adequately address the stormwater runoff from the pavement. The recent April rains highlighted the need to construct drainage facilities beyond that normally provided for rural roads. Although the drainage issue is complicated to a degree from runoff discharged from private properties, it is not considered that this situation is fundamental to the difficulties encountered.

 

This project was estimated on the basis that the upgrading work would be fully compliant with the City’s normal rural road standard, however these additional drainage requirements make it necessary for Council to consider a funding reallocation to meet the additional $39,000 cost associated with the kerbing and piped drainage.

Comment

The shoulder reconstruction works on Franklin Road between Rome road and Belgrade Road have been put on hold subject to additional funding being sourced for the proposed drainage upgrade works. These works are required to address existing drainage problems and the reallocation of funds is supported to undertake the drainage upgrade as part of the shoulder reconstruction works.

 

Project No’s 1159 (Caffagio Crescent and Senario Drive) and 2130 (Franklin Road) are funded from the Roads to Recovery Programme and it is therefore appropriate to reallocate funds to the value of $39,000 from Project Number 1159 to Project Number 2130 so that the drainage works can be undertaken in conjunction with the shoulder reconstruction works.

 

The stormwater that is discharging from private properties in the vicinity is secondary to the fundamental drainage difficulties and will be pursued with the property owners with a view to minimising this additional runoff into the Franklin Road reserve.

Statutory Compliance

Private property owners are required to contain stormwater within their property in accordance with Clause 13.2 of the Private Property Local Law 2001 as adopted by Council at its meeting of 9 April 2002 (Item PD11-04/02 refers).  The clause states as follows:

 

13.2 A person shall not allow storm water or other waste water to discharge onto:

(a) an adjoining lot without the current approval of the adjoining owner; or

(b) on to a road reserve or other property under the care control and management of the local government without the approval of the local government.

That Council:-

1.      NOTES that the change in scope of works for the Franklin Road Shoulder Reconstruction Project to incorporate drainage upgrade works beyond the normal rural road standard in the section between Rome Road and Belgrade Road has resulted in an estimated shortfall in funding of $39,000 for this Roads to Recovery Programme approved project.

2.      NOTES that the shortfall in funding from the Franklin  Road Shoulder Reconstruction Project is to be funded from the Roads to Recovery Programme through budget savings on roadworks associated with the Caffagio Crescent and Senario Drive Road Construction Project, giving rise to the following budget amendment:

Issue

To endorse a policy for the collection of rates and services charges levied under the Local Government Act 1995.

Background

In accordance with Section 6.56 of the Local Government Act 1995, the City has the ability to recover unpaid rates and service charges through legal proceedings.

 

While the City does not currently have a formalised policy for the collection of outstanding rates and service charges, there are a number of practices and procedures in place to recover the amounts involved.  The purpose of this policy is to formally establish a standard for the recovery of outstanding rates and service charges.

Detail

Under Goal 4 of the City’s Strategic Plan, Corporate Management and Development, the Corporate Services Directorate has listed “Maintain an equitable rating system” as an objective.  In achieving this objective, the City will aim to maximise income by reducing rates outstanding at year-end.

 

The introduction of a Debt Recovery Policy will assist the City in achieving its goal and provide the City’s staff with a clearly defined policy in regard to the recovery of rates and service charges.

Consultation

Nil.

Comment

The City’s administration already adheres to an informal set of internal policies and practices to recover outstanding rates and service charges.  The proposed policy, if adopted, will merely formalise the current arrangements.

Statutory Compliance

The proposed policy for the collection of rates and service charges complies with the relevant requirements of the Local Government Act 1995.

Strategic Implications

The proposed policy is in accordance with Goal 4 Corporate Management and Development and the Corporate Services Directorate objective “Maintain an equitable rating system”.

Policy Implications

The proposed policy seeks to formalise practices already in place to recover outstanding rates and service charges.

That Council APPROVES the Collection of Rates and Service Charges Policy, as detailed hereunder:-

COLLECTION OF RATES AND SERVICE CHARGES

 

Policy Owner:             Director Corporate Services

Distribution:                All employees

Implementation:          [Date of meeting and Item No]

Scheduled Review:      1 July 2003

 

Objective

To establish a formal standard for the recovery of outstanding rates and charges levied under the Local Government Act 1995.

Statement

The following process is to be followed for the recovery of outstanding rates and service charges.  Legal proceedings will continue until payment of the rates and service charges are made in full.

1.                  Issue Final Notices

A Final Notice is to be issued 14 days after the due date, to those persons who have made either no payment, or insufficient payment to cover the first instalment.  The Final Notice is to specify that the ratepayer/s have seven (7) days to pay in full or to enter into a special repayment arrangement. 


Final Notices are not to be issued to eligible persons registered to receive the pensioner rebate under the Rates and Charges (Rebates and Deferments) Act 1992 as such persons have until 30 June of each year to make payment, without incurring any late payment penalties.

2.                  Notice of Intention to Summons

A Notice of Intention to Summons is to be issued within 28 days after the due date to those persons who did not respond appropriately to the Final Notice.  The Notice of Intention to Summons is to specify that the ratepayer/s have fourteen (14) days to pay in full or to enter into a special repayment arrangement – failure to do so will result in a summons being issued without further notice.

3.                  Issue of a Summons

3.1    A Summons is to be issued through the Northern Suburbs Bailiff, which area of responsibility includes the City of Wanneroo, if no response is received in relation to the Notice of Intention to Summons.  In accordance with Section 6.56 of the Local Government Act 1995, Summons fees are to be debited to the ratepayer/s account.

3.2    Ratepayers are required to either pay the full amount on the Summons or pay by instalments.  If they chose to pay by instalments, they must sign the Confession of Debt on the reverse of the Summons and enter the amount they agree to pay in each instalment.  Such instalments are subject to acceptance by the Rates Supervisor, City of Wanneroo.

3.3    If the Confession of Debt is not returned after fourteen (14) days of the issue of a Summons, a letter is to be sent requesting the ratepayer/s complete the Confession of Debt and return it to the City within seven (7) days.  If, after the further period of seven (7) days, the Confession of Debt is not returned to the City, a Warrant of Execution is to be issued.

3.4    If an installment payment is received from a ratepayer/s but the Confession of Debt has not been returned to the City, a letter is sent requesting that the Confession of Debt be completed and returned to the City.

3.5    When the Confession of Debt is received, it must be checked to ensure that it has been duly signed and witnessed.  If not signed or witnessed, it must be returned requesting that the Confession of Debt be duly completed.

3.6    If the Confession of Debt has been completed correctly, a repayment arrangement is to be entered into so long as the proposed repayment arrangement is acceptable to the City.  This is to ensure that the debt is recovered within a reasonable timeframe.  A letter is sent confirming acceptance of the repayment arrangement.

3.7    If the proposed repayment arrangement is not acceptable to the City, a letter is sent advising that the proposed arrangement is not sufficient to repay the debt in a reasonable time and requesting the ratepayer/s to contact the City’s Rating Services staff.  Staff discretion is required when contact is made as some ratepayer/s are in genuine financial difficulty and may be unable to pay more that what was proposed on their Confession of Debt.

3.8    If payment of the Summons is received, but no Confession of Debt returned, and there is a small balance owing or the legal fees have not been paid, a letter is to be sent advising of same and requesting payment.

3.9    If the repayment arrangement, as agreed on the Confession of Debt, is not honoured, a letter is to be sent advising that the repayment is overdue and advising that if payment is not received by the agreed date, a Warrant of Execution will be issued.

4.                  Non-Service of Summons

4.1    When a Summons is unable to be served, a Non-Service of Summons will be issued by the Bailiff.  The Bailiff may advise if the property is a rental property or will provide an alternative address for the summons to be re-issued.

4.2    If the property is a rental property, the property agent is to be contacted to ascertain the new address.  If the property agent is responsible for payment of the rates, the address is to be changed and a new rate notice is to be sent to the property agent for payment.

4.3    If a new address is supplied, the new address is to be recorded.  A letter is sent, informing the owner/s of the summons and if not responded to within seven (7) days Council will re-issue the summons.

5.                  Warrant of Execution

5.1    If the ratepayer/s has not responded to the Summons, a Warrant of Execution is to be issued fourteen (14) days after the date of issue of the Summons.  The Warrant of Execution is also processed through the Northern Suburbs Bailiff.

5.2    The Warrant of Execution is a goods Warrant in the first instance and if the warrant is returned Nulla Bona (no goods), then a land warrant is to be issued.

5.3    Where a Warrant involves land where the owner resides, the approval of Council to be obtained before the land Warrant is lodged.  Warrants against land may be used to collect outstanding rates and service charges in respect of investment properties without a requirement that these be referred to Council.

6.                  Section 6.64 – Sale of Land

If any rates and charges which are due to Council in respect of any rateable land have been unpaid for at least 3 years, Council may take possession of the land under the provisions of Section 6.64 of the Local Government Act 1995.  The approval of Council is to be obtained before this course of action is undertaken.

7.                  Section 6.60 – Seizure of Rent for Non Payment of Rates

Where the owner of a leased or rented property, on which rates and service charges are outstanding, cannot be located or refuses to settle rates and service charges owed, a notice may be served on the lessee or tenant under the provisions of Section 6.60 of the Local Government Act 1995, requiring the lessee or tenant to pay to the City the rent due under the lease/tenancy agreement as it becomes due, until the amount in arrears has been paid.   The Manager Finance has delegated authority to implement the provisions of Section 6.60.

Issue

That Council gives consideration to an application for exemption to Council’s Local Laws made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 to keep more than two dogs at 15 Tendring Way, Girrawheen.

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 within a rural area or comprise a lot in a special rural area having an area of 4 hectares or more;

 

unless the premise is licensed as an approved kennel establishment or has been granted an exemption pursuant to section 26(3) of the Dog Act and have planning approval under the town planning scheme.

Detail

The following application has been made under the Dog Act and is submitted for consideration:

 

Address of Applicant

Description of Dogs

15 Tendring Way, Girrawheen

female cream Pekingese

female black Toy Miniature Poodle

male red and brown Staffordshire Bull Terrier

 

A Council Ranger has inspected the property to ensure that means exist on the premise at which the dog will ordinarily be kept for effectively confining the dogs within that premise.

 

The property, 15 Tendring Way, Girrawheen  is zoned residential.


Consultation

Five residents adjoining the applicant’s property have been consulted by letter, to ascertain if they have any objections.  No responses have been received within the comments period.

Comment

In considering this application for exemption, the following two options are available:

 

a)      Council may grant an exemption pursuant to Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976, subject to conditions;

 

b)      Council may refuse permission to keep more than two dogs.

 

Given that no objections have been received and there are means that exist on the property to confine the dogs within the premise, it is recommended that an exemption be granted subject to the following conditions:

 

a)      If any of the dogs die or are no longer kept on the property, no replacement dogs are to be obtained;

 

b)      Any barking by the subject dogs is to be kept to a minimum;

 

c)      This permission may be varied or revoked if any complaints are received which are considered to be reasonable.

 

If Council decides to refuse permission, the applicant may appeal to the Hon Minister for Local Government.  The Minister may approve the request on appeal and the City would not be able to impose conditions as recommended.

Issue

To seek Council’s approval of a Deed of Licence between the WA Sporting Car Club and the State of Western Australia which permits the WA Police Service to use a portion of the Barbagello Raceway in Wattle Avenue Pinjar.

Background

The WA Sporting Car Club (Club) has recently negotiated a 21 year lease agreement with the City for land vested with the City of Wanneroo, being portion of Reserve 10866 (Barbagello Raceway) on Wattle Avenue Pinjar.

 

The lease agreement provides the lessee power to assign or sublet in accordance with section 3.24 of the lease, which states:

 

·         The Lessee shall not assign, sublet or part with the possession of the Premises and the Lease without the prior written consent of the Lessor and it is HEREBY DECLARED that sections 80 of the property Law Act 1969 are expressly excluded.

 

·         Where the Land is Crown land, the prior written consent of the Minister for Lands is required under subclause (1) in addition to the consent of the Lessor.

 

·         The Lessee shall not mortgage, encumber or charge the Premises or the Lease.

 

Correspondence received by the City from the WA Sporting Car Club on 24th April 2002 advises that the Club has drawn a solicited Deed of Licence between the WA Sporting Car Club and the State of Western Australia, which requires endorsement from Council (Lessor).

 

The Club has developed the land and constructed a racetrack together with accompanying facilities including a timing tower, air conditioned office and change rooms with shower amenities. The WA Police Service requires the use of these facilities from time to time and has therefore entered into a Deed of Licence arrangement with the Club subject to approval from DOLA and Council.

 

The Minister for Lands has granted consent to this Deed of Licence.

Detail

The WA Sporting Car Club (Lessee) has agreed to sub-lease portion of Reserve 10866 (Barbagello Raceway) to the WA Police Service for the purpose of driver training, through a Deed of Licence agreement.

 

The sub-lease is for 52 days during a period of 1 year from 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003. The 52 days are to be taken as 1 weekday of each week during that year (except that the 52 days may be taken at other times where agreed to by both parties from time to time).

 

The sub-lease will allow the WA Police Service to have limited exclusive use of the following facilities:

 

a)         race track, air conditioned office and change rooms including shower amenities, and

b)         garage number 55.

Comment

The Club had negotiated a sub-lease arrangement with the WA Police Service prior to negotiating a new lease agreement with the City. Therefore in order to comply with the new lease, the Club is required to seek endorsement from Council to renew the existing arrangement.

 

The Lessee applies to Council to endorse this sub-lease on an annual basis. This requires a report to be prepared for Council which includes exactly the same information with the exception of the dates. Therefore it is feasible to recommend that this approval remains valid until the lease expires on the 30th September 2022.

Statutory Compliance

The Hon Minister for Lands approval for the sub-lease of portion of the subject Reserve 10866 has been granted.

Issue

That Council considers inviting tenders for the provision of adult and youth leisure courses utilising the City’s recreation centres.

Background

The City of Wanneroo has been providing leisure courses from the Gumblossom, Wanneroo and Hainsworth Recreation Centres since 1976.  The leisure courses take the form of hobby and/or educational courses and are conducted four terms of the year from each of these centres.

 

Up until 2000, the leisure courses were operated in-house by the City of Wanneroo.  The deficit incurred by the City in operating these courses was approximately $80,000pa ($84,328 in 1999).  As a result of the ongoing costs it was decided to further investigate the alternative options for the provision of adult and youth leisure courses.  During 1999 an evaluation was commissioned in relation to potential programme partnering arrangements involving the City of Wanneroo and other providers of similar or like services.  The evaluation detailed specific costs in relation to the provision of courses from the City’s recreation centres and approaches were made to potential providers in order to seek their comments, views and interest in being involved with the City of Wanneroo activities.

 

The conclusion of the evaluation based on quality, cost and diminishing resources was that Council should seek alternative management of the leisure course programmes from City facilities. 

 

Expressions of interest in the form of tenders were sought for the provision of adult and youth leisure courses utilising the City’s recreation centres via external providers.  The scope of the tender, in generic terms, requested that potential providers demonstrate their ability to provide the same amount of courses, at very similar prices, times etc, as to the City’s provision.  In addition it was requested that low-income earners, particularly those that access Council’s concession rates for these services, not be disadvantaged by the provision of another management body.

 

Seven companies and or organisations requested the tender documents, however at the close of tenders only one submission was received.  The tender received was from the West Coast College of TAFE.  In assessing the tender based on the criteria provided, West Coast College of TAFE met and exceeded the requirements of the tender.  West Coast College of TAFE were awarded the tender for one year with a one-year option as of 14 February 2000.  With a further extension the current contract will expire in June 2002.

Detail

In 1999 the City of Wanneroo conducted 285 programmes with 2838 participants.  Since West Coast College of TAFE has taken over the management the numbers are as follows (please refer to attached statistics for further information – Attachment 1);

 

2000 – 161 classes run, 1178 participants,

2001 – 111 classes run, 1124 participants

 

Although the numbers of participants have markedly reduced, there are many outside factors that have contributed.  These are as follows;

 

·         The costs for the courses were increased.  The courses previously run by the City were not recovering costs and contributed to the large deficit.

·         Local community groups are running courses at a cheaper cost using voluntary instructors.

·         A large proportion of the leisure course participants are women.  Women are increasingly returning to the work force, therefore the demand for leisure courses is decreasing.

·         The demand for leisure courses has decreased throughout many facilities within the metropolitan area.  For example the City’s closest competitor the Ocean Ridge Community Centre has had a reduction in their participants by 50% over the last two years.

·         The number of participants was already declining prior to West Coast College of TAFE managing the courses.

Consultation

Consultation has been undertaken with affected City Staff, West Coast College of TAFE, and other leisure course providers within the metropolitan area.  All statistics have been provided by West Coast College of TAFE which has conducted customer questionnaires over the last two years.

Comment

As can be seen from the statistics, there is a decrease in the number of people participating in Leisure Courses at City of Wanneroo Facilities.  The demand for leisure courses throughout the Northern suburbs however is also declining.  Should the City wish to revert back to providing these courses in-house there would need to be a staff restructure and the additional cost of the courses would need to be assessed and included within the Budget. There is still a demand for Leisure courses in the local community and an outside organisation such as West Coast College of TAFE is better equipped to manage this programme as the provision of adult and children’s courses is their core business. 

 

City administration acknowledges that the partnership between West Coast College of TAFE and the City of Wanneroo has been successful in the efficient and effective provision of leisure courses to the community.  It is therefore recommended that the City invite tenders for the provision of adult and youth leisure courses utilising the City’s recreation centres free of charge.

Financial Implications

The current contract arrangement requires the City to provide 1,050 hours per term of available time in its facilities to West Coast College of TAFE at a total cost of approximately $9,975 per term.  In addition the City is required to contribute $1.00 per participant to an asset preservation fund for replacement of carpets, curtains, equipment and other replacement items deemed necessary by the City, which is approximately $20,000pa.  It is important to note that West Coast College of TAFE contributes $2.00 per participant into the asset preservation fund. 

 

The maximum cost to Council is approximately $60 000pa, although it is unlikely that the full complement of hours will ever be utilised. West Coast College of TAFE currently utilise approximately one-quarter of their available time. These costs are an opportunity cost as if the facilities were not used by West Coast College of TAFE they would not necessarily earn income from other users.

Issue

That Council considers a request from the Quinns Rocks Tennis Club for the provision of two additional tennis courts at Gumblossom Park, Quinns Rocks.

Background

A 296 signature petition was tabled at the 9 April 2002 Ordinary Council meeting on behalf of the Quinns Rocks Tennis Club in support of this development.

Detail

Gumblossom Park located in Quinns Rocks is an important district recreational space catering for a variety of active and passive users. The park includes 4 tennis courts located at the rear of Gumblossom Community Centre being available for community and Club use.

 

The Quinns Rocks Tennis Club (QRTC) as principal user of this facility utilises Gumblossom Park to coordinate its competitions and operations. The QRTC is a developing sporting organisation that provides social and pennant tennis competitions for residents of Quinns Rocks and the surrounding district. The QRTC consider Council’s provision of four tennis courts is insufficient to accommodate the demands of the Club during peak weekday and weekend times.

 

The QRTC book the four tennis courts at various times throughout the week. In most instances bookings are made for 2-hour periods and all four courts are utilised. The public books the courts on average twice a day when the courts are not being utilised by the QRTC.

 

The City within a 5 km radius of Gumblossom Park provides no other community use tennis courts. Developer Mirvac Fini is constructing two community use tennis courts on Bellport Parade, Mindarie located 1km from Gumblossom Park. These courts are due for completion in June 2002 at which time Council will become responsible for coordination of bookings.

Comment

City Officers recognise that the Quinns Rocks Tennis Clubs development is limited by the ability of the Club to access sufficient tennis courts. City Administration does not consider the provision of additional tennis courts a high priority at this stage and funding sources have not been pursued for this project.

 

City Officers have assessed the concept plan (Attachment 1) submitted by the QRTC indicating the proposed site of the two new tennis courts.


Whilst the southern court has sufficient space to construct a tennis court, subject to the installation of a retaining wall, the northern court would require removal or replacement of existing infrastructure, trees and footpaths.

 

Further detailed investigation is recommended in order to determine an appropriate long-term strategy accounting for court location, funding and further club requirements such as clubrooms prior to committing to the provision of additional infrastructure within Gumblossom Park.

 

As a result City Administration recommends that the QRTC utilise the newly constructed Mindarie Tennis Courts until a suitable long-term strategy for the provision of tennis courts in this district is provided.

20.            Application For Determination Of Unmet Medical Need - Mindarie, Quinns Rocks, Clarkson, Merriwa And Butler

Issue

Council is requested to endorse an application to the WA Health Department of behalf of the localities of Mindarie, Quinns Rocks, Clarkson, Merriwa and Butler for the determination of unmet medical need.

Background

At present, general practitioners within the medical industry in Australia are required to be Australian residents with appropriate qualifications in order to provide services to the public that are eligible for Medicare rebates.

 

This situation has caused particular issues for principally rural and remote areas of the country that are unable to obtain the services of an Australian doctor, either due to a shortage of appropriately trained practitioners or their level of isolation which may not encourage doctors to settle in the area.

 

In recognition of this potential shortage of medical practitioners, the Federal and State Governments operate an application process for the classification of a locality as an area of unmet medical need, which may allow for an overseas trained doctor to provide services to an area.  

 

Under this process, the State Government receives applications from localities addressing a number of criteria, which assist in the determination, classification, and gazettal (by the WA Minister for Health) of an area of unmet medical need.

 

If a locality is determined by the State Government to be an area of unmet medical need, their application is forwarded to the Federal Government for determination of the provision of a provider number for the area.  If a provider number is issued, it will allow an overseas trained practitioner (with appropriate “crossover” qualifications) to provide services in the locality that are eligible for a Medicare rebate.

Detail

Whilst the unmet medical need process was principally established for rural and remote Australian communities, an additional category has been added to the process to assess applications from fringe metropolitan areas, experiencing a rapidly expanding population with special needs and demonstrated difficulty in recruiting or retaining GP services.

 

In both 2000 and 2001, the City submitted, in conjunction with the Yanchep-Two Rocks Community Support Working Group, an application for an unmet medical need classification in the Yanchep/Two Rocks area.

 

In both instances, this application was approved, and these localities have recently been allocated a provider number from the Federal Government.  This number will allow for the overseas trained doctor presently servicing the area to remain for a period of up to five years and offer patients services eligible for a Medicare rebate.

 

During April 2002, the City was approached by doctors and staff of the Mindarie Medical Centre regarding a doctor shortage currently affecting the localities of Mindarie, Quinns Rocks, Merriwa, Clarkson and Butler.

 

Following this approach, a meeting was held involving all doctors currently servicing the locality and elected representatives, to determine the applicability of criteria currently used to determine unmet medical need.

 

During this meeting, the following features of the medical situation in the area were highlighted:

 

·         The availability of approximately 11.4 full time doctors and 513 consulting hours throughout the area each week, which converts to a doctor/patient ratio of between 1:1811 to 1:2234 residents, depending upon population projections.  This type of ratio is far in excess of normally accepted levels, which are between 1:900 persons and 1:1500 persons depending on the nature of the locality and the characteristics of the population

·         The existing practice situation, where all available medical appointments on a particular day are normally booked by 9am, therefore necessitating a referral service to other doctors south of the locality or the Emergency Department of the Joondalup Health Campus

·         The lack of an after hours service operating in the area – the current locum service provided under the auspices of the Australian Medical Association does not operate north of Burns Beach Road

·         The lack of response to advertisements to recruit Australian doctors to the area – according to the doctors involved, current advertisements in a wide range of publications and media are not attracting any potential applicants (as opposed to unsuitable applicants), due to an underlying shortage of trained practitioners across the State and Australia as a whole

 

Given these factors and their applicability to the selection criteria for determination of unmet medical need, an application has been prepared and is attached (Attachment 1).

Consultation

As noted, consultation with doctors and staff across the locality has been undertaken in the preparation of this application.

 

A petition organised by one of the local doctors in conjunction with an elected representative is also currently available throughout the localities.  It is anticipated that this petition will be presented to the appropriate State Minister, supporting an application for unmet medical need.

Comment

Council endorsement for this application is sought, in order to provide official recognition of the critical medical needs and shortages currently affecting this locality.

Statutory Compliance

Strategic Implications

This type of advocacy for localities applying to State and Federal Governments for support is in line with the general strategic direction of Council and their support for the creation of Healthy Communities.

Introduction

 

 

This application has been prepared by the City of Wanneroo, in conjunction with doctors from the localities of Clarkson, Merriwa, Quinns Rocks, Mindarie and Butler, for a determination regarding unmet medical need in the area.

 

It will outline vital statistics, the current medical/general practice situation in the area, and detail issues for consideration noted in Health Department of Western Australia Guidelines for the Determination of Unmet Need.

 

 

Vital Statistics

 

 

Clarkson, Merriwa, Quinns Rocks, Mindarie and Butler are adjacent suburbs located on the east and west sides of Marmion Avenue, approximately 31 kilometres from Perth City Centre.

 

Each of these suburbs have experienced significant residential growth over the past 5 years and constitute the far northern metropolitan fringe, with the locality of Butler one of the newest suburbs of Perth, established late in 2001.

 

The area contains a mix of private and public residential housing development, with significant portions of Merriwa and Quinns Rocks dedicated to public housing.  Two major retirement villages, providing both independent and hostel accommodation, currently exist in Merriwa (Cambrai Village and RAAFA Estate) with another complex (Harbourside Village) in Mindarie is due to commence operations in 2002.

 

Due to the high levels of growth in these areas between Census years (1996 and 2001), the expected release of 2001 Census figures in June 2002 will provide a complete breakdown of population characteristics and numbers.

 

There are, however, some reliable projections regarding the population in this area, which are summarised on the following pages, providing comparisons with 1996 Census figures where available.

Issues for Consideration

 

 

Population Factors/Geography

 

The population of the area, at present as well as in terms of projected growth, does indicate a critical need for the provision of additional GP Services.

 

An overall growth rate of approximately 77% in the 6 years from 1996-2002 is indicative of rapid change and the development of entire new suburbs or communities within the locality.

 

At present, the ratio of residents to doctors is, utilising a best case scenario, 1:1811, and rising due to both the existing availability of residential land throughout these localities and the release of residential land for new suburbs, including Butler to the North.

 

If the population continues to grow at expected levels and doctor numbers remain steady, the resident to doctor ratio will extrapolate to the following levels:

 

Year

 

Projected Population of locality

 

Doctor/Patient Ratio

 

2006

 

27 668

 

2427:1

 

2011

2026

 

46 449

 

4074:1

 

2031

 

49 569

 

4348:1

 

These projections do not include any new suburbs being developed to the north of Butler, where it is expected that there will be a further population influx of approximately 50,000 residents by the year 2031.

 

Whilst it may appear unrealistic to align population increases to a static GP situation, this has been the experience of existing practices in the area over the past 4-5 years – the population of the locality has increased in a similar manner to the projections noted above and doctor numbers have not increased.

 

Along with absolute population numbers, the characteristics of the population also contribute to General Practice requirements.

 

Although not registering significantly in the most recent population statistics available (1996 Census), the existing cultural mix of the area is changing to a more diverse population base, with both indigenous and CALD residents increasing as an overall proportion of the population.

 

Anecdotal evidence in support of this changing population mix include the operation of an Aboriginal Community Organisation (Ngala) from City of Wanneroo community facilities in Merriwa, that provides a range of services for Aboriginal families including a partnership with Community Health to encourage the attendance of Aboriginal families at Infant Health Clinics.

 

The socio-economic status of residents also affects doctor availability.  As noted in statistics from the 1996 Census, a significant proportion of residents in all suburbs of the locality have an individual weekly income of less than $300. 

 

An emergency relief centre has recently commenced operations in Merriwa (The Homestead Organisation), after receipt of funding from the Lotteries Commission in recognition of the socio-economic status of residents in this locality. City of Wanneroo financial relief services have also recently received an increase in funding for the provision of aid in these localities.

 

The Joondalup Youth Support Service will commence a youth specific emergency relief service in the area (funded by the Lotteries Commission) in the last half of 2002.

 

Given that approximately half of all general practice consulting hours in the area are privately billed, the availability of doctors becomes increasingly critical, in effect doubling the doctor patient ratio for those with low-income levels.

 

The presence of two major retirement villages and the development of another in the locality also increase the concentration of aged residents, who may require more regular general practitioner care.  A resident doctor, supported by two doctors from the Mindarie Medical Centre who visit on certain days each week, currently services the two major villages.  The resident doctor has, however, recently “closed books”, meaning that further strain will now be placed on locally available services.

 

The geography of the area also contributes to the current shortage of general medical services, given that physical infrastructure has been unable to match the growth rate of the locality.

 

When not able to secure an appointment locally, residents are referred to other GP services south of the area down the principal transport route, Marmion Avenue. 


The next closest medical practice is located in Beaumaris (approximately 8-10 kilometres away), with the closest available bulk billing service (apart from the Emergency Department at Joondalup Health Campus) located at Belridge Shopping Centre, Beldon (approximately 15 kilometres away).  Both of these practices are not readily accessible by public transport – bus routes to these areas are complicated (if available at all) and they are not located on the train line.

 

Health Service Criteria and Practice Issues

 

 

As noted in the Current General Practice Situation section of this application, the closest hospital servicing this locality is Joondalup Health Campus, which provides a full range of public and private hospital services and a 24-hour emergency department.

 

The campus is accessible by public transport (bus) from the subject suburbs, with ambulances also dispatched from Joondalup to cater for emergency situations.

 

The existing General Practitioner situation in the locality does, however, place a higher level of need on the Joondalup Emergency Department, with many patients travelling to the Department when not able to secure an appointment with existing services available locally. 

 

GP Practices currently available in the locality range from one Medical Centre (employing around 11 doctors and providing 410 consulting hours per week) through to 3 sole practice services, one of which now has “closed books”.

 

Residential population pressure now means that the majority of appointments are scheduled before 9am each day, with urgent cases “squeezed in”, which places strain and pressure on working doctors, as well as increased waiting times for patients.  Those patients that are unable to secure an appointment on the day or time they are seeking are referred to doctors further south down Marmion Avenue or to the Emergency Department of Joondalup Health Campus.

 

Existing sole practitioners in the area are at present without locum support, meaning that they are unable to take holidays or sick leave without closing their practice.

 

The Mindarie Medical Centre is a registered training practice, meaning that some relief is provided to permanent doctors when a trainee is in residence.  The presence of these type of doctors does, however, create continuity difficulties for patients, as doctors leave after their 6 months training.

 

After hours medical services available within the area are in extremely short supply, with the boundary of the Perth Metropolitan locum service being at Burns Beach Road, some 4 kms south of the locality. 


As a result, some doctors in the area do provide an on-call after hours service, however the fees associated with this service are high, meaning that is it not accessible to a large proportion of the existing residential population.

 

As noted, the mix of private and bulk billing in the area is currently standing at a ratio of 50:50.

 

The necessary infrastructure to support new doctors in the area (ie. Consulting rooms) is available, with both the Mindarie Medical Centre and a stand-alone practice currently having excess capacity. Subdivision plans for new commercial and retail centres in the area also indicate appropriate sites for the provision of Medical Centres, however Centres are yet to be constructed due to the lack of doctors available or willing to service the area.

 

Medical Practitioner Qualification, Training and Skill Mix

 

 

Doctors currently located in the area have expressed a need for generalist GP skills, catering for a wide range of common illnesses.

 

A high percentage of paediatric work is available in the area, meaning that a GP with specialist skills in this area (in addition to general practice skills) would also be beneficial.

 

Length of Stay – Previous Incumbents

 

 

It has been the general experience that most doctors starting practice in the area generally stay, with the majority of issues caused by the lack of doctors actually considering or moving to the area to establish or join a practice.

 

Retirement or natural attrition and maternity leave are currently reducing available medical services, with a significant number of female doctors who take maternity leave not returning to full time work.

 

Existing practices have been advertising for new doctors for between 2 and 4 years – dependent upon the year in which they were established. 

 

Advertisements have been placed in the following publications on a regular basis:

 

·         The West Australian Newspaper

·         The Sun Herald Newspaper, Sydney

·         The Melbourne Sun Newspaper, Melbourne

·         Various professional magazines and journals (state national and international), including GPEA – Western Australia and Medical Forum. WA.

 

A selection of advertisements placed in these publications is attached to this application for further information.

 

In the vast majority of cases, advertisements are not attracting any applicants at all, as opposed to applicants with the right skill mix or experience.

 

Local Government Support

 

 

Administrative support has been provided by the City of Wanneroo in the preparation and lodging of this application.

 

A letter of support from the City is also attached, introducing this application and summarising the need currently being experienced for General Practitioner services in this locality.

 

Contact with AMA or other Locum Service

 

 

Existing doctors and practices within the locality have made contact with the AMA and locum services presently available.

 

Whilst the AMA has been understanding of the situation, the boundary of the present locum service (as noted) does not reach the locality.

 

A currently held belief is that Western Australia has a chronic shortage of trained doctors (with only one available training University), which is contributing to localities experiencing unmet medical need.

 

Other Special Considerations

 

 

Letters are attached from each of the practices currently established in the locality, detailing individual experiences and problems arising from unmet medical need.

 

Letters of support for this application are also attached (full list to be inserted at a later date).:

 

A petition (raised by local doctors and local government elected representatives) in support of the application has also been circulated within the localities involved and will be forwarded to the appropriate State Government Minister.

Issue

That Council gives consideration to community requests for donations and the waiver of fees and charges for May 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 6 applications for donations.  These applications have been received from:

 

·         Radio Lollipop (Princess Margaret Hospital for Children)

·         West Coast Christian Outreach Centre

·         Foodbank Centre Appeal

·         City of Wanneroo resident on behalf of her daughter’s school representation at an international level

·         Seniors Golf Tournament, Marangaroo

·         WA Special Needs Children’s Christmas Party

 

Each of these applications is summarised on the following pages, along with an assessment and recommendation.  Letters of application are attached (see Attachments 1,2,3, 4, 5 & 6).

Event/Activity to be supported

Amount requested

Assessment and Recommendation

 

Radio Lollipop (Princess Margaret Hospital for Children)

 

 

Radio Lollipop has requested support for a special fundraising gala at Rendezvous Observation City Hotel, to be held on 6 July 2002.

 

Funds raised at this gala will be used to purchase specialised equipment for the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children

 

 

Radio Lollipop are requesting that tickets to the gala be purchased for $99.00 or sponsorship be provided at the following levels:

 

Gold Sponsor: $2000 that includes corporate table for 10 at Gala Dinner and advertising

Silver Sponsor: $1000 that includes corporate table for 10 at Gala Dinner – no advertising

Bronze Sponsor: Donation of auction items for Radio Lollipop Gala

 

Council has supported applications of this nature in the past, given the philanthropic causes supported and the critical equipment that will be secured for medical needs.

 

Donations for events of this nature previously approved by Council have been within $200 - $500.

 

Given these precedents, it is recommended that either a donation of $198.00 be made to Radio Lollipop or two tickets to the Gala be purchased, for attendance by a key Council representative.

 

RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE ($198.00)

 

 

West Coast Christian Outreach Centre

 

 

The West Coast Christian Outreach Centre has requested support for a special Mothers’ Day Event where approximately 400 mothers will be supplied with special gift packs.

 

This application was not received in sufficient time to allow for Council consideration before Mother’s Day.

 

It is therefore requested that Council consider a retrospective donation to support administrative costs associated with this event.

 

 

Retrospective donation to support administrative costs associated with this event - $100.00

 

It is recommended that this application be supported given that:

 

·         The West Coast Christian Outreach Centre is based in the City of Wanneroo

·         The event will support gifts to approximately 400 mothers, the majority of whom reside in the City

·         The event recognises the very important role of mothers in society

 

 

RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE ($100.00)

Foodbank Centre Appeal

 

 

The Foodbank Centre Appeal has been launched by Foodbank WA, which re-distributes edible food to the needy, via a system where food that cannot be sold is “deposited” by the food industry and “withdrawn” by a range of community support agencies on behalf of their customers.

 

Foodbank has been in operation since 1994 and since that time has redistributed 6,000,000 kgs of food to residents of Western Australia.

 

The group is currently aiming to raise $3,500,000 for a variety of projects and programs, including; the purchase of an additional warehouse, to open additional branches across the State and the operation of a new initiative called Foodcent$, which will encourage healthier and more cost effective budgeting, cooking and shopping amongst agency clients.

A range of donation options are provided:

 

Supporters:      Gifts between$4,999 and                 $1,000

Friends:           Gifts between $49,999                     and $5,000

Benefactors:    Gifts between $249,000                   and $50,000 spread                          over three years

Foodbank WA provides an extremely valuable service to the community and contributes to the reduction of waste, which would normally go to landfill sites.

 

Its operations are Statewide and its principal place of distribution is, at present, located at Belmont.

 

This means that the benefit of the service to City of Wanneroo residents may be limited, however would have an impact via agencies like The Salvation Army, The Society of St Vincent de Paul and Anglicare.

 

Given these factors and Council’s previously approved donations to State wide causes, it is recommended that a donation of $300.00 be supported.

 

RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE ($300.00)

 

Student Assistance – International representation

 

 

Assistance has been sought by a City of Wanneroo resident to support her daughter’s participation in the Perth Modern School’s trip to perform at the Florence International Festival of Youth Orchestras

 

No amount specified – assumption made of $100.00 donation

 

It is recommended that a donation to support the member of this group to travel to the Festival not be approved given that:

 

·         Until the City’s Scholarship Scheme is reviewed, it would be advisable to address requests for state and national representation on a school or club basis via the City’s Community Funding Program

·         The City receives a large number of similar requests each year and Council may choose to establish a more formal approach for residents to apply for funding assistance in this and similar areas

 

RECOMMENDATION: NOT SUPPORT

 

Seniors Golf Tournament, Marangaroo

 

 

This application seeks a donation towards prizes/awards that will be presented at the Combined Seniors Golf Tournament at Marangaroo Golf Course during Seniors Week (30 October 2002).

 

Approximately 120 seniors from the Wanneroo and Joondalup areas will be competing in the event.

 

No specific amount nominated.

 

An amount of $100.00 is suggested as an appropriate level of support

 

It is recommended that a donation towards this event be supported, given that:

 

·         It assists in the active celebration of Seniors Week throughout the City of Wanneroo

·         It is based at Marangaroo Golf Course, within the City

·         It involves a number of seniors residing in the City

 

There City also has a history of support for this event, donating the perpetual City of Wanneroo trophy for the event during the Bicentennial Year, which is awarded to the golfer with the best gross score over 9 holes

 

RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE ($100.00)

 

WA Special Needs Children’s Christmas Party

 

 

This request seeks support for the WA Special Needs Children’s Christmas Party, to be held at Claremont Football Oval on Sunday 1 December 2002.

 

This event involves over 1800 children from across Perth who are underprivileged, have special needs, or are suffering from life threatening diseases.

 

 

$200.00

 

As part of this donation, the City will receive marketing benefits including;

 

·         A personalised Certificate of Merit for public display

·         A series of 4 radio commercials (6PR), where the City will be recognised, along with other sponsors, as an important contributor to the event

 

It is recommended that this event be supported given its ability to:

 

·         Provide special needs children with a Christmas celebration, which may assist in their overall psychological wellbeing

·         Provide exposure for the City, in the form of free advertisements on a major radio station

·         Recognise the City as a contributor towards philanthropic causes at a State level

 

RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE ($200.00)

Issue

To consider the adoption of the City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan – Our People, Our Future 2002 – 2005.

Background

In September 2001, Council engaged the services of Hides Consulting Group to conduct an extensive market research survey of the Wanneroo community to provide Council with information that would identify what the communities concerns and aspirations for the future are.

 

This research took two forms being:

 

1.      Focus Groups -            Four community focus groups (being family, seniors, youth & general) plus a Business focus group were conducted.  This qualitative research provided a valuable insight into the issues, which the phase of the research needed to explore.

2.      Telephone Interviews  703 telephone interviews with residents were completed between the 6th and 16th of October 2001.  A minimum of 100 interviews within each of the seven wards were conducted, including a series of questions with youth respondents in each of the wards.  A total of 150 interviews were completed with business owners/ operators in the City of Wanneroo based on industry type in order to ensure a representative sample of business types were interviewed.

 

With this information Elected Members and staff worked together to develop a draft Strategic Plan for the Wanneroo community, which addressed the ideas and concerns of the community. This involved a series of workshops over a period of four weeks.

 

At the Ordinary Council Meeting on 18th December 2001, Council invited public comment on the Strategic Plan and at its Ordinary Council meeting on 19th March 2002 Council considered all submissions from the community.

 

In order to ensure that the strategic plan sets the direction for Council, Elected Members and Administration developed a series of Business Plans for the five Directorates of Council being:

 

·         Office of the CEO

·         Corporate Services

·         Community Development

·         Planning and Development

·         Technical Services

 

These business plans detail how Council will achieve the goals and strategies in the strategic plan and how as an organisation we will measure our performance against the strategic plan.

Detail

The City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan – Our People, Our Future provides a direction for Council and the community to work towards in the coming years.

 

The Strategic Plan sets four main goals, which reflect the key concerns and ideas of the Wanneroo community being:

 

1.      Environmental Sustainability

 

To value, protect and enhance our natural environment in harmony with the growth and progress of our city.

 

2.      Healthy Communities

 

To foster an identity that promotes lifestyle choice and provision of quality services and infrastructure.

 

3.      Economic Development

 

To maximise opportunities for balanced economic growth and development within the City.

 

4.      Corporate Management and Development

 

To create a culture that is committed to corporate learning, evolution and proper management of our natural, financial and human resources.

 

Flowing from these goals are a series of strategies, objectives and actions which show the community what Council will be doing in support of each of these goals.

 

Council will continually review the strategic plan throughout its life to ensure that the strategic plan continues to maintain the strong link to community that it currently has.

Consultation

Council has consulted extensively with the community in the development of the Strategic Plan.  Prior to the development of the strategic plan Council engaged the services of Hides Consulting Group to carry out a comprehensive consultation program with the community.

 

This research was then used to develop the first draft Strategic Plan which was released for community comment.  As part of this consultation stage Elected Members and Administration visited all shopping centres within the City of Wanneroo and selected Council facilities and events to discuss the draft plan.  Council also conducted interviews with community radio station Twin Cities FM and provided a variety of press releases to the Wanneroo Times.

 

Council will continue to consult with community on the review and evaluation of the strategic plan.

 

One of the ways the City of Wanneroo will achieve its vision will be through:

 

Community driven, change and participation, unique and vital atmosphere.

 

One of the actions planned as a priority in the strategic plan is the development of a Community Consultation Policy, which will further enhance community involvement in the City’s decision-making process.

Comment

The City of Wanneroo is well positioned to meet the needs of one of the fastest growing communities in Australia.  Council and community have worked together in the development of the plan and will continue to work together in review and evaluation of the plan.

 

The City of Wanneroo may now be one of the leaders in local government in developing systems to ensure that the actions required in the strategic plan are delivered.  These include performance agreements with management linked to strategic project completion, Certified Workplace Agreements for the City’s staff that are linked to key performance measures in the strategic plan and Directorate and Business Unit business plans cascading the action objectives of the strategic plan into the annual operation plans for the City’s business units.

Statutory Compliance

Whilst the Local Government Act 1995 does not require Council’s to complete a Strategic Plan, it does require Council’s to plan for large financial expenditures through the development of a Principal Activity Plan.

 

The development of the Strategic Plan and business plans will allow for the preparation of a more accurate and relevant Principal Activity Plan.

Strategic Implications

The development of the Strategic Plan will become the compass for the organisation and determine the strategic implications of future Council decisions.

Policy Implications

The Strategic Plan will become the reference point for all policy formulation and review.  Several actions with the strategic plan relate to the formation of several key policies and statements.

Financial Implications

The Strategic Plan will become the guiding document for future expenditure for the City.
