Issue
Consideration of submissions received following the close
of advertising of Amendment No 31 to District Planning Scheme No 2 (DPS2).
Applicant
Allerding Burgess
Owner
N and M Di Loreto
Location
Lot 8 Mangano Place, Wanneroo
Site Area
2972m2
Existing DPS 2 Zoning
Service Industrial, Additional
Use: Restaurant and Function Centre
Proposed DPS 2 Zoning
Service Industrial, Additional Use: Child Care Centre
Background
The subject site is located on the eastern side of Mangano
Place, just south of the intersection with Villanova Street (refer Attachment
1). A reception centre currently exists on the site. The site adjoins
commercial and restaurant premises to the north, undeveloped land to the south,
the Ocean Reef Caravan Park to the west and Wanneroo Road and East Wanneroo
Cell 4 to the east.
Council, at its meeting of 10 June 2003, resolved to
initiate Amendment No. 31 to DPS2 and refer the Amendment documents to the
Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for assessment.
The proposal seeks to amend DPS2 by modifying Section 1 of
Schedule 2 of DPS2 by changing the additional use classification for the site
from ‘Restaurant and Function Centre’ to ‘Child Care Centre’.
It is intended to convert the existing reception centre
building to a child care centre. A concept plan depicting the refurbishment of
the existing function centre is included as Attachment 2. This plan
does not contain sufficient information to enable a full assessment and the
plan should therefore not be afforded any status other than a broad outline of
the applicant’s current development intentions for the site. The applicant
acknowledges that formal development approval would need to be granted, should
the amendment be successful.
Detail
The EPA advised the City on 7 July 2003 that the level of
assessment set for the proposal was ‘Scheme Not Assessed’, and that under the
provisions of Section 48A of the Environmental Protection Act, the Amendment
had been deemed assessed by the EPA. Given that the Amendment is consistent
with the Metropolitan Region Scheme zoning of Urban over the site, the consent
of the WAPC was not required to advertise the proposal.
Consultation
A 42-day advertising period was carried out between 22 July
2003 and 2 September 2003. Pursuant to the Town Planning Regulations, this
consultation involved:
a)A sign being erected on site, advising of the proposed amendment;
b)An advertisement in the Wanneroo Times on 22 July 2003;
c)Letters to adjacent and affected landowners.
Comment
The City received one submission in relation to the
proposal from an adjacent business owner. The submission supports the
proposal, on the basis that the adjacent site be granted an additional use
provision to allow convenience retail sales. It would however be inappropriate
to consider such a proposal at this late stage of the amendment process. Such
a proposal would also require appropriate justification in the context of the
City’s Centres Strategy. The submission should therefore be dismissed.
As no adverse submissions were received, it is recommended
that Council resolve to adopt the amendment without modification and forward it
to the WAPC for its recommendation to the Hon. Minister for Planning and
Infrastructure for final approval.
Statutory Compliance
The advertising process has complied with the requirements
of the Town Planning Regulations.
Strategic Implications
Consideration of this amendment is consistent with the goal
of providing Healthy Communities under the City’s Strategic Plan, and in
particular, Strategy 2.2 of the Planning and Development Strategic Plan which
seeks to provide a cohesive system of integrated landuse planning.
Policy Implications
Nil.
Financial Implications

To consider an application which seeks to amend District

Wanneroo from General Rural to Business with an Additional Use of ‘Shop’ with a
net lettable area of 1500m2.

Proposed DPS 2 Zoning
Business, Additional Use Shop
Background
The location of the subject land is shown on Attachment
1. It comprises two (2) lots with a total land area of 6.798ha. The land is
generally zoned Rural under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) and DPS2. The
northern portion of Part Lot 3 is reserved under the MRS and reflected
accordingly in DPS2, for Primary Regional Roads. The southern portion of Part
Lots 2 and 3 is reserved under the MRS and reflected in DPS2, for Parks and
Recreation.
On 19 March 2003 Peter Cann Development Consulting lodged a
Structure Plan proposal for Part Lots 2 and 3 Wanneroo Road, Wanneroo on behalf
of Goldrange Pty Ltd (the owner of Pt Lot 3), and Banksia Asset Pty Ltd (the
contracted purchaser of Pt Lot 2). The application sought approval of a
Structure Plan to enable development of Part Lots 2 and 3 for various
commercial uses. The structure plan map is included as Attachment 2.
The Council considered the proposed structure plan at its
meeting on 10 June 2003 (Item PD02-06/03) where it resolved:
1. That
the proposed Structure Plan should not be advertised until a range of matters
had been addressed. One matter in particular was for the applicant to lodge an
application seeking to amend District Planning Scheme No. 2 in a manner that
will enable all of the proposed uses to be able to be considered for the
granting of planning approval. This was to be received prior to the
advertising of the structure plan to enable concurrent advertising of both the
Scheme Amendment and the Structure Plan.
2. To
advertise the Structure Plan after the range of matters had been addressed to
the satisfaction of the Director Planning and Development.
3. To
request the Western Australian Planning Commission rezone the land from Rural
to Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.
A full copy of the resolution is set out in Attachment 3.
Pursuant to point 1 above, the applicant submitted revised
structure plan documents to the City on 2 September 2003. These are currently
being assessed by the Administration. Whilst the City has requested the WAPC
initiate an amendment to the MRS pursuant to point 3 above, no response has
been received to date.
Detail
Proposal
The draft Structure Plan proposed the following components:
Use
Floor Area
Retail Sale of ‘Bulky goods’
16 850m2
Retail Nursery and incidental café
8 050m2 (including 7050m2 outdoor
area) and 300m2, respectively.
Fruit and vegetable warehouse, distribution, wholesale
and growers mart
2 350m2
A more
detailed description of each of these components is set out below:
Retail Sale of Bulky Goods
The bulky goods component was separated into two areas. The
first (on Pt Lot 2) totalled approximately 6 850m2 and fronted
onto Wanneroo Road. The second (on Pt Lot 3) totalled approximately 10 000m2
and fronted onto Drovers Place and Joondalup Drive.
The applicant indicated that “bulky goods sales” typically
include white goods, electronic goods such as televisions, sound systems,
videos etc and other electrical goods, camping goods, indoor and outdoor
furniture, home improvement goods, garden supplies and hardware, recreational
goods, linen, automotive parts, and floor coverings or large numbers of the
same items (which may not necessarily be of a bulky nature). It was suggested
by the applicant that these outlets combine the features of a warehouse and
showroom by keeping all stock on the retail floor. Bunnings and Makro Warehouse
were referred to as local examples of bulky goods retailing.
Nursery and Incidental Cafe
The structure plan also proposed a plant nursery to offer
for sale an extensive range of plants, soils, mulches and conditioners, pavers,
sleepers and edging material, reticulation and outdoor lighting, outdoor
furniture, outdoor entertainment and BBQs. As part of the nursery it was also
proposed to provide an incidental café which would serve traditional “café
style” food, ice creams, cakes and drinks. The applicant advises that Waldeck
Nursery has expressed an interest in locating on this site.
Fruit and Vegetable Warehouse, Distribution, Wholesale
and Growers Mart
The structure plan also proposed a Grow Fresh market
gardening enterprise. This business would offer fresh fruit and vegetables
direct to both wholesale and retail customers, in conjunction with national and
international export operations. The fruit and vegetable retail offered would
be incidental to the predominant export business, and would be supported by
compatible fresh food wholesalers and retailers offering meat, fish, bread and
continental goods. The applicant has advised that the Kingsley Grow Fresh
business is planned to relocate to this site.
Applicant’s Justification
The applicant’s structure planning submission concluded by
advising that the proposal should be supported on the following grounds:
·“A history of tourism based proposals for the site have not been
successful.
·The site is ideally located to take advantage of the current and
projected high traffic levels on Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive.
·Proposed development will not adversely affect neighbouring land
uses.
·The area is well serviced by private and public transport.
·Development will create at least 120 permanent jobs.
·Permits development of a new type of nursery concept and bulky
goods precinct with metropolitan wide attraction.
·The proposal complies with the development requirements of DPS2.
·Will have no adverse environmental affect on the adjacent Lake
Joondalup Nature Reserve.”
Other reasons for support given in the applicant’s
structure plan submission are:
1. The
structure plan is “…reflective of the development that has occurred surrounding
the subject site in recent years and takes into account the types of land uses
that have previously been approved by Council” (pg. 6);
2. The
bulky goods outlets proposed are able to offer goods for sale at significantly
discounted rates (pg.6);
3. The
subject site offers an ideal location for the warehouse and distribution
facilities due to the ease of access to the metropolitan road system and
proximity to the northern suburban and regional market garden areas” (pg.8);
4. While
retail sale of fresh fruit etc is usually undertaken in shopping centres in
‘retail’ zoned areas, in this case, the large spatial requirements of this
combined enterprise precludes it from traditional retail areas (pg. 9);
5. Grower
direct produce is a form of retailing that has strong traditional ties to
Wanneroo. In recent years however, its prevalence has declined due to urban
encroachment and retail planning (pg.9);
6. The
retail component of the Growers Mart is expected to benefit from the wider
customer base expected to be attracted. It will more importantly however provide
a very convenient and alternate shopping experience (pg.9);
7. There
is a compatibility of fresh food sales and the nursery, seeming to stem from
the inherent connection between buying food and the ability to grow food. Based
on the success of this experience, Waldecks is reluctant to establish such a
large outlet without the added attraction of an operation similar to the
growers mart proposed (pg.9 and 10);
8. As
bulky goods outlets do not compete with traditional forms of retailing such as
surrounding existing or planned retail areas (pg. 10);
9. It
has become apparent to the current operators of the Timbertop Nursery that the
capital expense required to compete with the major operators is beyond their
capability. Instead, they will focus on plant propagation and wholesale from a
Gingin property. “The opportunity now exists to conjunctively and cohesively
develop these two properties” (pg 13).
A full copy of the proposed Structure Plan document as
considered by Council in June 2003 has been placed in the elected members
reading room for viewing.
Consultation
The draft structure plan was referred to the relevant
government environmental, planning and service agencies for preliminary
comment. The submissions received were generally supportive, however listed a
range of requirements that should be revised, addressed or otherwise attended
to by the applicant. The Department for Planning and Infrastructure response
also made the point that aspects of the proposal are inconsistent with the MRS
Rural zoning of the land and character of the locality and would more
appropriately be located in the Wanneroo Townsite. Council’s consideration of
the proposal did however request that the MRS zoning be modified to accommodate
the proposal and sought a number of changes to the structure plan which would
have the effect of making the proposal more compatible with the character of
the area.
All scheme amendments require public consultation. The
consultation period is normally 42 days and is normally undertaken by way of an
on-site advertising sign, advertisements in the local newspaper and on the
City’s website, as well as letters to relevant Government agencies and adjacent
landowners.
The Town Planning Regulations provide that where an
amendment is consistent with the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) and State
policies and strategies, then the consent of the Western Australian Planning
Commission (WAPC) will not be required to advertise the amendment. Given that
the proposed amendment is not consistent with the current Rural zoning under
the MRS, the consent of the WAPC will be required in this instance.
Comment
When considering the draft structure plan for this area,
Council required the proponent to lodge an application to amend DPS2 in a
manner that would enable all of the proposed uses to be considered for the
granting of planning approval.
The applicant has requested that the site be rezoned to
Business with an Additional Use of ‘Shop’ having a maximum net lettable area of
1500m2.
There is some doubt however, as to whether this zone would
be capable of accommodating the fruit and vegetable warehouse and distribution
components of the proposal. This zone is also considered too broad in that it
will allow a range of other uses not currently proposed by the structure plan.
For example a business zone would permit uses such as a liquor store, medical
centre, offices, banks, child care centre, consulting rooms, convenience store,
hardware store, service station, drive though take away food outlets and car
wash.
The additional use of ‘Shop’ with a retail limit of 1500m2
is also considered too broad and may permit general retail uses, other than
those intended by the structure plan, such as a supermarket. Generally, centres
with a retail NLA of up to 1000m2 are classified as local shops or
centres. Centres with a retail NLA between 1000m2 and 3000m2
are classified as Neighbourhood Centres. It is considered inappropriate to
allow a floor space of 1500m2 that bears resemblance to a floor
space area typical of a neighbourhood centre, particularly where it has the
potential to negatively impact on existing and proposed local and neighbourhood
centres within the surrounding residential suburbs of Banksia Grove, Carramar
and Tapping.
In view of the Council’s resolution of 10 June 2003, which
sought to accommodate the uses outlined in the draft structure plan a more
appropriate zone would be a restricted use zone which identified the specific
uses proposed under the draft structure plan as outlined in the detail section
of this report.
Statutory Compliance
The amendment process will follow the statutory procedures
outlined in the Town Planning Regulations.
Strategic Implications
Consideration of this amendment is consistent with the goal
of providing Healthy Communities and Economic Development under the City’s
Strategic Plan, and in particular Strategy 2.2 of the Planning and Development
Directorate Plan, which seeks to provide a cohesive system of integrated land
use planning.

PD02-06/03 Proposed Structure Plan No 46 for Part
Lots 2 and 3 Wanneroo Road, Wanneroo
That Council:
1. Pursuant
to Clause 9.4.1 of City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2, DETERMINES
that proposed Structure Plan No. 46 relating to Part Lots 2 and 3 Wanneroo
Road, Wanneroo should not be advertised until:
a) the
following matters have been included in it or have otherwise been attended to
by the proponent:
i) The site’s possible history of
contamination.
ii) The impact on flora and fauna.
iii) A
nutrient and irrigation management plan to address to the storage and use of
chemicals and fertilisers, irrigation methods, control of runoff and provision
of an upland buffer.
iv) Midge associated with Lake
Joondalup and the impact on the proposal.
v) Specific
detail and plans related to stormwater disposal methods and control of runoff
from hard surfaces into the nearby Lake.
vi) Landscape
vegetation details to ensure compatibility with the Yellagonga Regional Park
and proposed revegetation of reserve areas.
vii) Indirect
impacts associated with weed invasion, spread of dieback, littering and filling
and excavation of the site.
viii) Site
levels, plans and any proposed retaining details, filling etc indicating the
visual impact of the development on the Regional Reserve and adjoining sites.
ATTACHMENT 3

ix) Dry
land buffer requirements recommended by the Department of Environmental
Protection and Water and Rivers Commission.
x) A Drainage Management Plan.
xi) Reserve
boundaries have been incorrectly depicted with car park areas located within
MRS Reserve areas and the Parks and Recreation boundary shown incorrectly. The
boundaries should be surveyed and depicted correctly.
xii) The Water Corporation’s land
requirements for infrastructure.
xiii) Traffic
management issues, for example, the location of the service access road and
provision for right turns onto Wanneroo Road, requires further discussion with
Main Roads, due to conflicting views held by Main Roads WA and Transcore; the
workability of the proposed one-way section of the service road; the management
of commercial vehicle movement, particularly that associated with the wholesale
and export distribution aspects of the Growers Mart operation and how this
would interact with other traffic. Traffic calming devices for the service
road need to be acceptable to the City and Main Roads WA; the capacity of the
service road and its ability to cater for traffic movements for the overall
precinct.
xiv) Justification
on the incidental nature of the Café due to its prominent location and ability
to be used by patrons other than those associated with the Waldecks venture.
Parking requirements may be affected depending on the justification and may
alter the outline of the Structure Plan proposal.
xv) Provision
for a bin storage location, which may affect the design proposal. The issues of
refuse collection and management for the entire site would also need to be
addressed.
xvi) Pedestrian
linkages into the adjacent Regional Reserve, or access linkages across the site
for precinct planning purposes.
xvii) The
relocation of the service road in front of lot 3 as close as possible to the
ultimate boundary of lot 3 to satisfy Main Roads WA requirements.
ATTACHMENT 3
Page 3 of 3
xviii) The
provision of turning pockets on Wanneroo Road to the satisfaction of Main Roads
WA.
xix) Fire
management measures in respect to proximity to Yellagonga Regional Park to the
satisfaction of the Department of Conservation and Land Management.
xx) Development
setback requirements from boundaries in accordance with District Planning
Scheme No. 2.
b) The
Structure Plan being properly formatted as a Part 9 Structure Plan in respect
to having one section, which is to have effect under the Scheme, and a separate
explanatory section. Satisfactory Structure Plan maps also need to be
included.
c) The
applicant lodging an application to amend the District Planning Scheme No. 2,
for Council’s consideration prior to advertising of the proposed Structure
Plan, to zone the subject land in a manner which will enable all of the
proposed uses to be able to be considered for granting of planning approval.
This will enable the proposed Structure Plan and proposed scheme amendment to
be advertised concurrently, rather than sequentially to avoid confusing the
public and will also facilitate consistency between the Structure Plan and
District Planning Scheme No. 2.
2. Subject
to the matters detailed in 1. above being included in the Structure Plan or
otherwise attended to by the proponent to the satisfaction of the Director
Planning and Development, AUTHORISES that the Structure Plan, as modified, be
advertised pursuant to Clause 9.5 of District Planning Scheme No. 2, and a copy
sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission, provided that a
corresponding rezoning amendment to the District Planning Scheme No.2 as
referred to in 1.c) above is also able to be advertised at that time.
3. REQUEST
the Western Australian Planning Commission to rezone Lots 2 and 3 Wanneroo
Road, Wanneroo from Rural to Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.

Background
The proposed Child Care Centre on Lot 21 (60) Burnett
Drive, Clarkson was previously presented to Council on 2 September 2003 and was
referred back to Council Administration to allow for further discussion between
the parties. At the time of writing this report no meeting between the
applicant and the objectors had taken place. A letter of undertaking has been
received from the applicant, which notes that it is currently arranging a
meeting with the submitters (refer Attachment 1).
Detail
Proposal
The application proposes a child care centre including a
building, outdoor play area, 31 car parking spaces and associated landscaping
and fencing. The proposal is located on a lot with an area of 3167m². The total
building site cover is approximately 720m² with a play area of approximately
1220m². The centre will cater for a maximum of 99 children and up to 16 staff
(refer Attachments 2 and 3). The operating hours of the Child
Care Centre are Monday to Friday 6.30am to 6.30pm.
In accordance with Clause 6.6.2 of the City’s District
Planning Scheme No.2 (DPS2) the application was advertised by way of letters to
adjoining property owners and a sign on site for a period of 21 days. At the
conclusion of the consultation process, five (5) submissions including a multi
signature letter with 30 signatures were received. The issues are summarised as
follows:
Comment/Objection
Administration Comment
·The postcode area 6030 already has 6 childcare centres.
·The play area should be located to the rear of the lot with the
main building closer to the front boundary
·The boundary fence is extensive and foreign and does not offer
protection to the children in the playing area from a risk, safety and
wellbeing aspect at this location.
·The developer always advised that Lot 21 would be developed as
grouped dwellings.
·A childcare centre is an inappropriate business in a
residential area.
·The parking is large and the blacktop finish is inappropriate
as all crossovers and driveways along the street are brickpaved.
·“No Parking” signs need to be erected along Belville Gardens
and Burnett Drive
·The submitters object to any large signs being placed along
Burnett Drive frontage.
·The submitters object to any extra street lighting that may be
required in excess of the existing lighting provided.
·The proposed child care centre will downgrade the value of
surrounding properties.
·Burnett Drive is a single carriageway already has a high volume
of traffic. The child care centre should be located on a dual carriageway.
·Proposed parking for staff and parents is not sufficient at
peak times and will result in overflow of vehicles parking along the verge.
·The submitter works from home and requires a low level of
background noise.
·The car park and associated traffic will make it difficult and
dangerous to reverse onto Burnett Drive.
·The City did not advise all the residents of Burnett Drive in
writing of the application.
·The child care centre will increase the volume of traffic along
Burnett Drive with the submitter concerned about the safety of all children
residing along the street.
·Council policy does not limit the number of child care centres
that can be located within the local area. Economic viability and competition
is not a determining planning consideration.
·The setback of the main building and the location of the play
area complies with Council’s Policy.
·The proposed fencing will be required to comply with the Child
Care Services Board regulations and the City’s Local Laws.
·The lot is zoned Residential and a Childcare centre is a “D”
(Discretionary) use under DPS No.2
·See previous comment.
·The City’s requirement for car parking areas is for a surface
to be sealed and drained to the City’s specifications and standards.
Crossovers, however, cannot be constructed in bitumen as the City’s standards
require either a concrete or brick paving finish.
·This is not appropriate as in effect the posting of such signs
would also apply to residential car parking for those houses
nearby/adjoining.
·All signage will be required to comply with the City’s Local
Laws. An application to erect a sign will be required to be submitted with
the Building Licence Application.
·The City’s Infrastructure Services have reviewed the proposal
and confirmed no extra street lighting will be required. On site lighting
will be recommended.
·No supporting information has been provided to substantiate the
claim that property values will be reduced as a result of a Child Care
centre. Property value is not a determining planning consideration.
·The City’s Infrastructure Services has reviewed the Traffic
Impact Assessment Report that was submitted as part of this application, and
are satisfied with the traffic impact considerations on the surrounding road
network.
·Adequate parking has been provided for staff and parents in
accordance with the requirements of Council Policy and DPS2. An additional
three parking embayments will be required to be provided along Burnett Drive
verge as per the conditional approval.
·As part of the conditional approval, the applicant will be
required to submit an acoustic consultants report demonstrating that the
proposed development is capable of containing all noise emissions in
accordance with the residential provisions under the Environmental Protection
Act 1986.
·The City’s Infrastructure Services have reviewed a Traffic
Impact Assessment and have supported the crossover location. Management of
the site will need to ensure on site turning capacity so that vehicles can
egress in forward gear onto Burnett Drive.
·Clause 6.6.2 of DPS2 requires consultation only with the owners
or occupiers of the adjoining affected properties. Additional advertising was
undertaken in accordance with Clause 6.7 for a “D” use with a sign erected on
site.
·The City’s Infrastructure Services have reviewed the Traffic
Impact Assessment submitted as part of this application and is satisfied
with the traffic impact on surrounding road network. It should also be noted
that the peak times of such a use is confined to two to three times a day
rather than being spread throughout the day on average.
In support of the proposal the applicant has provided
comments in relation to the issues and objections identified in the
submissions, as summarised below:
·The Clarkson area has been identified by ABC Development Learning
Centres Pty Ltd (developer) as a locality ideal for a high standard ABC Child
Care Centre.
·The potential conflict between children in the childcare centre
and passing traffic is very unlikely. The children in the outside area are
under constant supervision.
·The proposed childcare centre through its design endeavours to
present a residential streetscape appearance and the outdoor play area is
designed in accordance with the “ABC” philosophy. It is considered the design
presents the best possible streetscape.
·The proposed fencing is in accordance with the City of Wanneroo
requirements;
·The original developer’s intention of constructing grouped
dwellings on the subject land is no longer valid.
·The proposed carpark finish is used throughout the ABC child care
centres nationwide and is considered to be of an acceptable standard. It
complies with the City of Wanneroo’s requirements.
·The installation of “No Parking” signs is required as per the
Traffic Impact Assessment report submitted with the application.
·Any proposed signage will be in keeping with the City of
Wanneroo’s requirements and will be applied for at the Building Licence stage.
·Internal lighting is proposed as part of the child care centre,
however no additional street lighting is proposed.
·The proposed child care centre meets the City Wanneroo parking
requirements.

Comment
The application was deferred by Council at its meeting held
on 2 September 2003 to allow extra time for discussions between the applicant
and the objectors regarding the proposal. The applicant has submitted a letter
of undertaking for the following modifications:
·An acoustic fence will be erected along the north boundary
serving both the car park and play area to alleviate noise concerns.
·An acoustic masonry and timber panelled fence will be erected
along Burnett Drive with dense landscaping to minimise the impact of the
building on the streetscape.
·The crossover will be brick paved with a similar treatment
applied to the car park to the satisfaction of Council.
The applicant has indicated that it is not able to
undertake any modifications to the building for the following reasons:
·The current design takes into account solar orientation, with the
play area and rooms receiving morning winter sun and shade on a summer
afternoon.
·A brick wall fence around the child care centre will look less
attractive and would not alleviate noise issues. In addition a solid brick wall
will detract from the residential streetscape.
·The building is not able to be set closer to the front boundary
(Bellville Gardens) as it will be out of character with the streetscape and
would result in the service area being accessed through the play area.
The application fully complies with the Scheme and Policy
requirements apart from a minor encroachment in the setback to Marmion Avenue.
The City’s scheme requires that where a lot abuts a street alignment, that
portion of the lot within 3 metres of the street shall only be used for access
and landscaping. In this instance, the proposed refuse storage area in the
north western corner of the site encroaches to within 1.5 metres. Given that
there is a limestone estate wall of approximately 1.8 metres in height along
the Marmion Avenue frontage it would be acceptable for this variance.
The crossover is not able to be located along the
Belleville Gardens frontage due to an existing 0.1m (access) PAW restriction
along both the Marmion Street and Belleville Gardens frontages. The proposed
crossover for the carpark has been located as far as possible from the
intersection which will minimise any potential conflicts with the roundabout at
the intersection of Belleville Gardens and Burnett Drive.
Objections have raised concerns of parking in front of
residential properties and along Burnett Drive. Although the number of onsite
car parking bays comply, it would also be considered appropriate to install
embayments in front of the property to ease traffic movement. As part of the
conditional planning approval the applicant will be required to provide an
additional three (3) parking embayments along Burnett Drive to assist in the through
flow of traffic along Burnett Drive. Signage to prohibit parking along the
street is not considered appropriate as the restriction would unnecessarily
apply to residential parking on the street and move the parking elsewhere.
A seven-day traffic count was undertaken at three locations
on Burnett Drive during the first week of September 2003 and the results are
summarised as follows:
LOCATION
Traffic Volume
85TH
Percentile
Speed
Mean
Speed

1449vpd
59km/h
51km/h
Burnett Drive: –North
of Belleville Gdns
1490vpd
55km/h
49km/h
The results are typical of a road of this nature and with
traffic volumes shown not to be significantly high in all three locations.
Accordingly, it is considered that the subject proposal will have little impact
on local traffic or the amenity of the area.
Other standard conditions for a Child Care Centre would
include matters relating to internal lighting, accessways, signage,
landscaping, bin storage and construction management. It is considered that
the issues raised in the objections received have been adequately addressed
above.
As the application complies in all respects, with the
exception of a minor encroachment into the landscape area to the north western
boundary, the application is recommended for approval.
Statutory Compliance
The proposal complies with all the statutory requirements
of the City’s Child Care Centres policy and the District Planning Scheme No.2
other than the 3.0 metre landscaping strip along the north western boundary.
Strategic Implications
Considerations of the Child Care Centre is consistent with
Goal 2 of the City’s Strategic Plan which seeks to foster an identity that
promotes lifestyle choice and the provision of quality services and
infrastructure.
Policy Implications
The application complies with the City’s Child Care Centre
Policy.

Dear

Re: PROPOSED
CHILD CARE CENTRE – LOT 21, HN 60 BURNETT DRIVE, CLARKSON
We
refer to Council’s resolution of September 2nd, 2003 in regard to
the above proposal and provide the following comments and undertaking from ABC
Developmental Learning Centres in response to the design.
1.
Background
The
plans for the ABC Centre have been prepared by Raymond Design Consultants, who
specialise in child care centre design across Australia, and have designed
numerous such centres. The design was prepared with the interests of the
children using the centre as a key consideration in addition to complying with
Council requirements.
Following
the feedback that several residents had raised issues with the centre we
offered on several occasions to meet and discuss the proposal. In telephone
discussions we offered to undertake modifications in regard to fencing design
and paving treatments. In doing this, we also took the step of mailing copies
of the proposed plans to Mr Halton to assist. No response to our offer to meet
or these modifications was received prior to the Council meeting (or in fact to
date) and the matter was deferred at the Council Meeting.
2.
The Design
As
a result of the deferral, the plan prepared by resident Mr Halton and provided
to Councillors by Ward Councillor Steffens was sent to Raymond Design for
review and discussion. The following comments are provided in reply:
·The
design does not appear to have the best interests of the children in mind. A
west facing building and open yard will result in children suffering in the
heat in summer and cold in winter. The centre has been designed to take
account of solar orientation so that the play area and rooms receive morning
winter sun and are more shaded from summer afternoon sun.
·The
complete brick walling of a child care centre is not necessary to respond to
issues of noise and would create a less attractive and less residential looking
development.
·The
location of the building so far forward is completely out of character with the
streetscape and ignores the need for servicing at the back of the building (not
through the play area).
ATTACHMENT 1
Page 2 of 2
3.
Undertaking
Notwithstanding
the above, and that the proposal does comply with Council requirements.
Raymond Design have suggested the following:
·Placing
of an acoustic fence on the north boundary to serve both the car park and the
centre / playscape area to address any noise concerns.
·Provide
acoustic masonry and timber panel fence to Burnett Drive with dense landscaping
to the street to provide a soft appearance without the large building
dominating the frontage.
·Staggering
of play groups using the outside playscape area to further assist in minimising
noise;
In
addition as discussed, the brick paving of the proposed crossover and similar
treatment of the carpark area (red asphalt or similar to Council’s
satisfaction) we are also prepared to accept as a condition of approval.
Throughout
the course of this application we have genuinely sought to resolve the concerns
of the residents with little response or preparedness to compromise in
discussing the matter. We are currently arranging a time next week to discuss
these measures further.
Should
you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact John Culmer or
myself at the office on 9474 1777.
Yours
faithfully

Issue
To consider an application for the demolition of the
original St Anthony’s Church and adjacent classrooms.
Applicant
David Barnao & Co.
Owner
The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Perth
Location
Part Lot 512 (990) Wanneroo Road, Wanneroo
Site Area
4.6543 Hectares
DPS 2 Zoning

Background
The St Anthony’s Church is located on Part Lot 512 (990)
Wanneroo Road, Wanneroo (refer Attachment 1). The church was built
circa 1932 and is believed to be the oldest public building standing within the
Wanneroo Townsite. For this reason, Council at its December 1995 meeting
(CS244-12/95) resolved amongst other things that:
“4a) under
Section 45 (2) of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, updates the City’s
Municipal Inventory to include the following heritage places of cultural
significance:
§St Anthony’s Church, Lot 102 Wanneroo Rd, Wanneroo; and
b) requests
the Heritage Council of Western Australia to assess places included in the
Municipal inventory for possible inclusion in the State Register of Heritage
Places.”
The Register Committee of the Heritage Council of WA
considered the request for listing of the church on 29 August 2003 where it was
determined that “while it may have some cultural heritage significance, it was
unlikely that the place would meet the threshold for entry in the State
Register of Heritage Places”.
Detail
The applicant has lodged two separate demolition licences
and planning applications as part of a two-stage demolition of the old St
Anthony’s Church and primary school buildings. Since the construction of the
new church and school on Servite Terrace, the old buildings have remained
disused. This has lead to significant vandalism to an extent that the
buildings now pose a considerable health and safety risk.
A two-stage demolition was proposed to separate the
heritage matters relating to the old church and classrooms from the balance of
the site. Therefore, Stage 1 only comprised the newer buildings and structures
as shown in Attachment 2. As there were no heritage or other planning
matters precluding this application from being considered, the application was
determined and a licence and planning approval authorising Stage 1 works
subsequently issued.
The application the subject of this report is described as
“Stage 2” and includes the remainder of the buildings on the site, i.e. church
building and original 3 classrooms (adjoining the church) also shown on Attachment
2. Whilst only the church building has been officially recognised as
having heritage significance through its listing in the City’s Municipal
Inventory of Heritage Places, the adjoining three classrooms have also been
recognised by some members of the community as having heritage significance.
The application has been referred to Main Road Western
Australia (MRWA) for comment as the front portion of the subject lot is
reserved as a Primary Regional Road. Although no response had been received
from this authority at the time of writing this report, it would be presumed
that MRWA would support the application for demolition as the front portion of
the Church would at some time need to be removed if the widening of Wanneroo
Road proceeds in this vicinity.
Consultation
Nil.
Comment
Despite the Heritage Council of WA rejecting the inclusion
of the St Anthony’s Church and Classrooms in the State Register of Heritage
Places, it has been recognised that these buildings (in particular the church)
have local heritage significance. Listing of the church in the City’s Municipal
Inventory reflects this.
The Municipal Inventory however, is simply a list of
buildings or places which are or may become in Council’s opinion, of cultural
heritage significance. It should therefore be noted that inclusion in a
Municipal Inventory alone does not provide for the preservation or
commemoration of a place or building.
A recent decision by the Town Planning Appeal Tribunal
considered the weight that local government should give to heritage matters
when assessing a development application for a place or building listed in a
municipal inventory. The Tribunal concluded that:
“placement of a property on the
Municipal Inventory raises heritage values for consideration but such placement
will carry little weight ... Its only function, in a planning context is that
it serves to raise for consideration the historical qualities of the building
that is the subject of a planning application”.
In consideration of the broader planning context, in 1999,
the City prepared a structure plan for the Wanneroo Town Centre. Agreed
Structure Plan No 23 – Wanneroo Town Centre Structure Plan (WTCSP) included the
St Anthony’s Church and School site within the Wanneroo Square Precinct and
zoned the subject land Business zone. The WTCSP also recognised the heritage
values of the St Anthony’s Church and made the following points:
1. The
historical significance of the building should be further assessed and if
appropriate measures taken to secure its successful preservation, historic
record or relocation.
2. The
Saint Anthony’s Church shall not be altered, modified or removed without the
prior approval of the City through an official application to demolish,
Approval to Commence Development or subdivision approval issued by the Western
Australian Planning Commission.
3. The
retention of the building in its current form and location is the most
desirable method of preservation, and not withstanding the provisions of the
scheme and this structure plan, the building may at the discretion of the City
be utilised for alternative landuses.
4. Any
proposal to modify or remove the structure should be further considered by
Council on its merits with due consideration for the most effective method of
ensuring the preservation of its historical significance.
5. The applicant
shall be required to undertake a formal heritage assessment of the site as a
prerequisite to any consideration by Council of a proposal to modify/ remove
the structure.
The following comments are provided in respect to the
above.
Points 1 and 5 are essentially the same, requiring the
further assessment of the St Anthony’s Church building. Such assessment has
not been undertaken by the owner/applicant, however it should be noted that the
City previously commissioned a detailed heritage assessment of the church in
1997. The study concluded that the Church contained cultural heritage values
and therefore, recommended that it be considered for inclusion in the State
Register of Heritage Places.
Given that the Heritage Council has already rejected state
listing of the church, a further study was not considered necessary as it would
most likely have come to a similar conclusion about the local significance of
the building.
Point 2 above merely makes reference to a formal
application being made prior to any works being undertaken in respect to the
church. As discussed, applications for a demolition licence and planning
approval have both been made. Points 3 and 4 simply highlight that retention
of the church is the most desirable option to retain its heritage significance
and that if this is the case, the building may be put to other uses.
On this basis, there are several options that Council may
consider in dealing with this proposal.
Option 1 – Refuse
the application for the demolition of all the buildings and structures within
Stage 2;
Option 2 –
Grant approvals to all of the buildings being demolished and recognise their
heritage value in another manner;
Option 3 –
Approve only part of the application by retaining the church and allowing
demolition of the classrooms.
Option 1 is not considered a viable proposition. Although
old, the classrooms have not been formally recognised for their heritage
value. Further, if the classrooms were to be retained, given their
configuration and level differentiation with the church, it would be difficult
to integrate the buildings with some future development or use of the site.
If Option 2 is preferred, Council should consider
imposition of a condition requiring the owner to recognise and commemorate the
heritage value of the church and classrooms in an appropriate way to the
satisfaction of the Council.
On balance, Option 3 is considered the preferred option.
Agreed Structure Plan No 23 – Wanneroo Town Centre Structure Plan (WTCSP)
recognises the local heritage significance of the church and states that its
retention would be the most desirable method of commemorating that
significance.
Should the Council wish to seek the preservation of any of
the buildings, the notion of compensation has previously been raised. The City
has little scope to offer such compensation by way of development or zoning
incentives (which are normally associated with the retention of heritage
buildings as part of a redevelopment of a site) as the land is already zoned Business
which is a high order land-use. Therefore, other options may need to be
considered.
It should also be noted that the buildings are currently in
a state of disrepair due to vandalism. If they were to be retained and used
for another purpose, considerable repairs would need to be undertaken. Also,
asbestos was used extensively in the buildings’ construction, which would need
to be removed before they could be used as public buildings. Such removal
would incur a significant cost.
Finally, the City’s Heritage Services Advisory Committee
met on 29 August 2003. At that meeting, the Committee discussed the current
application and resolved to recommend the retention of the original St
Anthony’s Church and three classrooms, and encourage interpretation of the
buildings for community access.
Statutory Compliance
All demolition is exempt from the requirements for a
Planning Approval under the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2 (DPS2) unless
the building or structure is:
(i) located
in a place that has been entered in the Register of Places under the Heritage
of Western Australia Act 1990;
(ii) the
subject of an order under Part 6 of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990;
(iii) included
on the Heritage List under subclause 5.2.2 of the Scheme;
(iv) located
in an area that will in the opinion of Council affect a place included on the
Heritage List pursuant to subclause 5.2.2 of the Scheme.
The application is not affected by any of these
circumstances. Recognition in the City’s Municipal Inventory does not qualify
under the above criteria.
Part 6.1.4 of DPS2 does however require submission of an
application for referral to the Commission for determination where required
under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS). In this case, Clause 32 of the MRS
affects the application as the site abuts Wanneroo Road, which is a Primary
Regional Road. The Clause 32 notice of delegation however allows the City to
make a determination under delegated authority.
The proposal is also located within Agreed Structure Plan
No 23 – Wanneroo Town Centre Structure Plan (WTCSP).
Under the WTCSP the application is affected by Clause 20,
which requires “that Council further assess and consider the heritage
significance of St Anthony’s Church as part of the consideration of any
application to alter, modify or demolish the Church, and to encourage retention
of the building in its current form and location”.
Strategic Implications
This application relates to Healthy Communities goal in the
City’s Strategic Plan which seeks to foster a community that finds strength in
diversity, ie conserve our heritage for future generations.

Determination of subdivision applications processed in the
period between 1 and 31 August 2003 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 and 31 August 2003.

Development Applications determined by Planning &
Development between 1 June 2003 and 31 July 2003, 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. Since the commencement of 2003, the city has received over 100
development applications on average per month in addition to an average of over
570 building license applications per month.
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 June 2003 and 31 July 2003, acting under Delegated
Authority from Council are included in the attached Schedule 1.

Statutory Compliance
A Delegated Authority Register was adopted by Council at

referred to in schedule 1 of this report are in accordance with this register.
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
To consider the dedication of privately owned land as part
of a public road.
Background
Montrose Walk in Mindarie was created in part as a private
right-of-way and in part as a private lot when the Mindarie Harbourside
precinct was developed in 1989. Montrose Walk links Toulon Circle with Ocean
Falls Boulevard. Its location is shown on Attachment 1.
A subdivision application that proposes direct residential
lot frontage onto Montrose Walk has recently been approved by the WA Planning
Commission (refer Attachment 2). One of the subdivision conditions requires
the subdivider to dedicate Montrose Walk as a public road.
At its meeting held on 1 July 2003 (Item PD09-07/03),
Council agreed to request the Minister for Lands to dedicate the private
right-of-way as a public road in accordance with section 56 (1)(c) of the Land
Administration Act 1997.
Contiguous to the right-of-way as shown unshaded on
Attachment 1 however is an elongated area of freehold land described as Lot
108. The owners of Lot 108 have now requested that this lot also be
incorporated into the dedicated road reserve of Montrose Walk.
Detail
Section 56 (1) (c) of the Land Administration Act provides
that where the public has had uninterrupted use of land as a road for a period
of not less than ten years, a local government may request the Minister for
Lands dedicate the land as a public road. Lot 108 and the contiguous
right-of-way have been in continuous use by the public as a thoroughfare for a
period of 14 years.
Section 28 (1) of the Town Planning and Development Act
1928, provides that where land is transferred to the Crown for the purpose of
extending or adding to a public road it becomes dedicated as a public road from
the date of transfer. The owners of freehold Lot 108 intend to transfer the
land to the Crown.
Consultation
Nil
Comment
The conversion of the Montrose Walk right-of way and Lot
108 to a dedicated road will provide legal frontage to the proposed new
residential lots and for general access to the harbourside precinct. It will
also benefit the general community by providing unrestricted public access to
the land that abuts the marina.
The northern portion of Montrose Walk, adjacent to Toulon
Circle is proposed to be constructed for pedestrian access only. The remaining
portion is proposed to be constructed as a road, with a small carpark adjacent
to the marina.
The principle of Montrose Walk being dedicated as a public
road was included in Amendment No. 3 to the Mindarie Keys Harbouside Structure
Plan, which was adopted by Council on 5 November 2002 (Item PD07-11/02). Given
this and the fact that the land has remained open to the public since 1989,
advertising of the proposal is not considered warranted.
Statutory Compliance
Although section 28 (1) of the Town Planning and
Development Act provides for the dedication of Lot 108 upon transfer to the
Crown, government operational procedures require Council to pass a resolution
under section 56 (1) (a) of the Land Administration Act to request the Minister
for Lands to dedicate the land as public road, and to indemnify the Minister
against any claims for compensation that may arise from such action.
Strategic Implications
The dedication of Lot 108 as a public road is consistent
with the Healthy Communities Goal of the City’s Strategic Plan, which seeks to
provide and maintain infrastructure to meet the needs of the community.
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Upon dedication as a public road the City will become
responsible for the costs associated with the care, control and management of
the road.
Voting Requirements

1. REQUESTS

as part of a public road under section 56 of the Land Administration Act 1997,
upon its transfer to the Crown.
2. INDEMNIFIES
the Minister for Lands against any claims for compensation arising from the
dedication of Lot 108 Montrose Walk, Mindarie as public road.

Issue
To consider the permanent closure of part of the Bradman
Drive road reserve in Butler.
Background
In the mid 1990’s Bradman Drive, Butler was created as an
unconstructed road reserve on the alignment shown by the broken lines on Attachment
1. Subsequent planning approvals provide for a minor relocation of the
road to the east of that alignment. A locality plan is shown as Attachment
2.
Detail
The land on the western side of the Bradman Drive road
reserve is to be amalgamated into a proposed residential lot, identified as Lot
685 on the Attachments. The shift of the road reserve to the east will be
accommodated by a corresponding road widening being excised from the adjacent
high school site.
To achieve the amalgamation of the superfluous western part
into proposed Lot 685, it is necessary for Council to request the Minister for
Land Information to close the road in accordance with the provisions of section
58 of the Land Administration Act, 1997.
Consultation
Public notification of the proposed closure, for a 35 day
period as prescribed by the Land Administration Act, was published in a
newspaper circulating in the district. No submissions were received. Advice was
also given directly to all public utilities to ascertain their requirements and
no objections were received.
Comment
The realignment of the Bradman Drive road reserve will lead
to improved traffic movements and is consistent with current planning approvals
for the locality. The associated land purchase and disposal will be negotiated
between the relevant landowners, being the land developer, the Department of
Education and Training and the Department of Land Information. On this basis
there is no objection to the proposal.
Statutory Compliance
The requirements for road closures as prescribed by section
58 of the Land Administration Act 1997 have been complied with.
Strategic Implications
The realignment of Bradman Drive is consistent with the
Healthy Communities Goal of the City’s Strategic Plan, which seeks to provide
and maintain infrastructure to meet the needs of the community.

Detail
Tender No 03311 was advertised on 9 August 2003 and closed
on 26 August 2003.
The vehicles were categorised according to the City’s
requirements, which resulted in five specifications that were labelled A to E
in the tender document.
The Tender Evaluation Team, comprising the Manager Building
and Fleet Services and the Fleet Officer, has evaluated the tenders in
accordance with the following assessment criteria as detailed in the tender
document.
·Whole of life cost for the Vehicle inclusive of
price for the Vehicle offered; and
·Operational and mechanical maintenance
evaluation.
Whole of life costs were established by
considering the purchase price offered and the estimated resale value after 3
years or 60,000 kilometres and the running cost comprising fuel consumption,
where available and service costs. Resale values were obtained from “The Red
Book” which provides average wholesale prices based on computer aided
statistical analysis of figures supplied by auction houses, dealers and field
research. Service costs were provided by Nuford Wanneroo, which is contracted
to the City to provide light vehicle servicing until 31 July 2006.

Issue
To consider the assessment and recommendation of Tender No 03309
for the Provision of Tree Pruning, Stump Removal and Root Barrier Services
within the City of Wanneroo for a Period of Three Years.
Background
The City is responsible for the pruning, removal and
installation of root barriers to trees on road verges, public open space,
parkland and conservation areas as part of maintenance works and Capital Work
Projects.
Trees are managed by both in-house labour and use of
contractors. Council has a four person pruning crew mainly responsible for
street tree pruning around Western Power lines and to clear property lines and
house leads. Contractors are used for pruning and removal of larger trees that
require specialist equipment and for peak growing periods. A total of $69,325
was expended on tree services for contractors in 2002 / 2003.
Contract No 03309 for the Provision of Tree Pruning and
Stump Removal Services within the City of Wanneroo for a Period of Two years
with the option of a twelve month extension, was awarded to Geoff’s Tree
Service Pty Ltd and commenced on 1 October 2000 through to 30 September 2002.
It was then extended with no increase in rates for an additional twelve months
to expire on the 30 September 2003.
Detail
The Tender for the Provision of Tree Pruning, Stump Removal
and Root Barrier Services within the City of Wanneroo for a Period of Three
Years was advertised on August 2nd 2003 and closed on the 19 August
2003. The items for which rates were sought as part of the tender are shown on Attachment

Tender Evaluation
The Tender Evaluation Team consisted of the Coordinator

The tenders were rated against the selection criteria which
included price, resources, plant and equipment, previous experience in carrying
out similar works, and safety management, as detailed below.

The Tender Evaluation Team’s scores for the tenders against
these criteria and weightings has resulted in the recommendation to accept the
offer from Geoff’s Tree Service Pty Ltd.
Comments
Trees Need Tree Surgeons submitted a tender that
incorporated CPI increases to their scheduled prices for years 2 & 3,
rather than nominating specific rates. This is not strictly in accordance with
clause 6 of the General Conditions Of Tender, which states:
"The tendered price shall be fixed for the three year
period or alternatively fixed for year one, year two and year three of the
contract period and not be subject to any rise and fall."
Despite this, it was considered that the tender should be
evaluated, given that once CPI has been applied at the beginning of each
renewal period (year 2 & 3), the resulting price would be fixed for the
duration of that annual period. In addition, CPI rates are relatively stable
and are expected to remain so over the next couple of years, therefore
evaluation can be based on reasonable assumptions.
In evaluating the submissions, both Tenderers were
considered to be experienced tree surgery companies, however Geoff’s Tree
Service Pty Ltd scored marginally higher in the criteria of:
·Safety Management
·Tenderer’s previous experience in carrying out work similar to
the service
·Tenderer’s resources
Under the ‘pricing’ criteria, Geoff’s Tree Service Pty Ltd scored
significantly higher due to consistently lower pricing across the schedule of
service types.
Geoff’s Tree Service Pty Ltd have undertaken work to a
satisfactory standard for the City of Wanneroo and other local governments over
many years. The Safety Management Program that has been submitted is
comprehensive and fully compliant with contract requirements.
The estimated price for the three-year duration of the
contract, calculated on predicted volumes of maintenance and capital work
excluding root barrier works, is $240,000, which equates to $80,000 per annum.
A budgeted figure of $50,000 is allocated in the 2003/2004 Parks Operations
Maintenance Budget for tree services with an additional $30,000 estimated to be
required for the Capital Works Program.
Statutory Compliance
Tenders have been invited and properly evaluated against
the selection criteria in accordance with Section 3.57 of the Local Government
Act and associated regulations.
Strategic Implications
The provision of Tree Pruning, Stump Removal and Root
Barrier Services within the City of Wanneroo for a Period of Three Years within
the City is congruent with the City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2002-2005)
goals and strategies:
“Healthy Communities
2.6To provide
and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of the community”
Policy Implications
Nil.
Financial Implications
The estimated annual cost of $80,000 can be accommodated
within the tree servicing allocation in the 2003/2004 Parks Operations
Maintenance Budget and Capital Works Budget.

Issue
To consider repeal of the Local Law known as the “Shire
of Wanneroo Parking Local Laws1998” and replace with this with the “City
of Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local Laws 2003”.
Background
The current Local Law, known as the “Shire of Wanneroo
Parking Local Laws 1998” was published on 9 November 1998.
Until the advent of the Australian Road Rules, all States
and Territories were responsible for the development of their own traffic
regulations. There were many inconsistencies between the states and following
an extensive period of ironing out the inconsistencies, the Australian Road
Rules have now been adopted in Western Australia as traffic regulations under the
Road Traffic Act 1974. The traffic regulations are now known as the Road
Traffic Code 2000 (the Code). They were adopted by Parliament on 1 December
2000 and became effective on 1 January 2001.
As a consequence, many of the City’s parking laws have became
obsolete and invalid to the extent that they are now inconsistent or at a
variance with the Code that the current Local Laws needs to be repealed. Many
other Local Government Authorities have updated their local laws to be
compatible with the Code, however due to the split of the City of Wanneroo this
had been overlooked.
Section 3.16 of the Local Government Act 1995 indicates
that Local Laws are required to be reviewed every eight years, and as it is now
6 years since the “Shire of Wanneroo Parking Local Laws 1998” were
adopted and it is timely that the Local Laws be reviewed. In undertaking the
review, City Administration determined that too many local laws required
updating and rather than having a lot of local laws with amendments, it was
deemed to be more prudent to repeal the “Shire of Wanneroo Parking Local
Laws 1998” and draft with a new set of Local Laws entitled “City of
Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law 2003” (refer Attachment 1).
The Policy & Local Law Committee considered this local
law at its meeting on 09 September 2003 and resolved as follows:-
“Moved Cr Loftus, Seconded Cr
Treby
That the Policy & Local
Law Committee recommend that Council:-
1. ENDORSES
the draft “City of Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local Laws 2003” in
proposed repeal of the Local Law, currently known as “Shire of Wanneroo Parking
Local Laws 1998”.
2. ENDORSES
the proposed public consultation 42 day activity timeframe in regard to the
draft “City of Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local Laws 2003”.
3. REQUESTS
a final report in review of Public Consultation undertaken by City
Administration with the view of Council considering the repeal by SPECIAL
MAJORITY of the Local Law currently known as the “Shire of Wanneroo Parking
Local Laws 1998” with the intent to replace it with a local law to be known as
the “City of Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law 2003”.
CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY”
Detail
Several major changes have taken place in the Code that
have an impact on the City’s Local Laws. They are as follows:
·The use of the word “verge”. This will now be known as “nature
strip”, which means the portion of a road, which lies between the carriageway
and the front boundary of adjacent land, but does not include a path. This will
comply with terminology being used around Australia.
· “No Standing” now becomes “No Stopping” and will be symbolised
on signs by a red “S” in an annulus with a line through it. The impact of this
is minimal within the City, as City Administration has been using these signs
for new parking controls or as replacement of old “No Standing” signs. These
changes are reflected in the new draft of “City of Wanneroo Parking and Parking
Facilities Local Law 2003”.
·Bus Stands and Taxi Stands now become Bus Zones and Taxi Zones.
·Parking on nature strips (verges) in built-up areas is prohibited
unless authorised.
·Service roads are “one-way” unless signed otherwise.
·Parking signs over-ride statutory requirements (means that
existing signs do not have to be re-located).
·“No Stopping” approaching and leaving sides of Bus Stops
increased from 18m and 9m respectively to 20m and 10m.
·“No Stopping” near intersections changes from 6m from property
boundary to 10m from road (kerbline).
·“No Stopping” on approach to pedestrian crossings is increased
from 18m to 20m and a new “No Stopping” of 10m is imposed after these
crossings (signs over-ride but should be applied to new crosswalks). It should
also be noted that pedestrian crossings are generally installed as school
crossings.
·“No Stopping” approaches to rail crossings increases from 18m to
20m.
·“No Parking” a long vehicle (greater than 7.5m long) or a vehicle
over 4.5GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) on a residential street in built-up areas from
more than 3 hour or outside built-up areas except in an embayment.
·“No Parking” allows stopping to pick up or set down people or
goods for a maximum of 2 minutes – provided that the driver is not more than 3m
from the vehicle.
·Dual-Use Paths become Shared Paths.
·Roller skaters and rollerbladers are permitted on Bicycle Paths.
·“ACROD” penalty has been increased to $100.00.
·Fees from impounded vehicles can be charged immediately rather
than after two months.
General changes have been made to the draft Local Laws in
order to clarify the meaning and to ensure consistency or terms used. For
example, the term “road” being defined as meaning the
entire road reserve and any part of the road reserve. “Carriageway” has the
same meaning as in the Code, which is the improved area of a road designed or
used for vehicular traffic (including all the aspects of the used part of the
road referred to in the Code definition).
The focus of the parking local laws is on the placement or
location of a vehicle, whilst the Code focuses on drivers. For consistency, the
draft “ City of Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local Laws 2003” refers
to what a person can and cannot with a vehicle rather than what a driver can
and cannot do.
Following endorsement of the draft document by Council,
community consultation will be actioned and will take place over approximately
a five to six week period. Copies of the draft “ City of Wanneroo Parking and
Parking Facilities Local Laws 2003” will be placed on all public notice boards
and will be available at all the City’s libraries and at the City’s
Administration Centres. It will also be made available to any person requesting
it.
After a 42 day submission period, a report on any
submissions received will be prepared and presented to Council along with any
recommended alterations noted.
It is at that stage that Council will be requested to
consider resolution by SPECIAL MAJORITY the adoption of a local law to be known
as the “City of Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local Laws 2003”.
Comment
It is a requirement of the Local Government Act 1995 that
Council must review whether a local law is still relevant or if it should be
amended or repealed within 8 years of the local law being adopted. As outlined
previously, the current “Shire of Wanneroo Parking Local Laws 1998” is
in conflict with the Code. Given these matters, it is timely that the current
Local Laws have been reviewed with the intent to repeal and subsequently
replace it with the “ City of Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local
Laws 2003”.
The draft as currently prepared will enable the City to
comply with the Code and relevant specifications or standards issued by the
Australian Standards Association.
The City has recently attended court hearings at the Court
of Petty Sessions in Joondalup regarding “parking in the median” and were
defended on the strength of the Australian Standards and not the current Local
Law, as it was determined that it is deficient in its definition and content.
City Administration has obtained legal advice on the
content of the draft “City of Wanneroo Parking and Parking
Facilities Local Laws 2003”. In addition, the draft document was forwarded
to Metropolis & Associates for scrutiny as this firm had direct involvement
in the development of the Code and is also aware of current amendments being
made to the Code.
Following endorsement by Council of the draft “City of
Wanneroo Parking and Parking Facilities Local Laws 2003”, City Administration
will then arrange advertising for public comment and on closure review comment
received and finalise the draft document. This will be accompanied by an
abbreviated version of any offences and penalties that are also subject to
change.
Statutory Compliance
Section 3.16 of the Local Government Act 1995 indicates
that Local Laws are required to be reviewed every eight years.
Compliance to the Road Traffic Code 2000 and the Traffic
Act 1974 is required.

Council adopted all 21 recommendations of the Marangaroo
Traffic Management Study as presented by the Consultants engaged to undertake
the Study (Report No.W155-06/00 refers). and did not include any traffic
calming works to be undertaken on Parin Road. It is noted that concerns
regarding traffic volumes and speeding issues were raised during the Study
investigation period but on assessment did not feature highly in the overall
review.
Detail
Administration undertook a traffic survey in Parin Road
during May 2003, and again between 25 August and 1 September 2003 in order to
verify the petitioners claims. Reported crashes on Parin Road were also
assessed. The results of the traffic survey are as follows and can be compared
with previously collected data:

With reference to the above table, traffic volumes and the
85th percentile speeds are consistent. The mean speeds recorded for
Parin Road are moderate. The 85th percentile speed in the vicinity
of Millstead Way is slightly high, with this issue being addressed by the WA
Police Service through speed enforcement.
As part of its preparation for Blackspot funding,
Administration investigated the number of crashes that occurred on Parin Road.
During the five-year period from 1 January 1998 to 31 December 2002 there were
four reported crashes, three of which involved “Side Swipes”, probably
attributable to overtaking or passing a motorist making a right turn.
Comment
Parin Road, east of Wanneroo Road, is 15m wide for the
first 60m and then tapers to 9-10m wide for the remainder of the road and
consequently, has the appearance of being a very wide road that allows slower
vehicles to be overtaken and for a small minority of motorists to drive at
speeds in excess of the 85th percentile speed recorded. The current
standard for the treatment of wide road pavements, based on a demonstrated
speed/crash history, is the installation of a central median comprising
linemarkng and trees located within traffic islands or tree wells. An order of
cost estimate for providing such a treatment in Parin Road is $30-35,000
depending on design and the number of trees installed as part of the works.
Main Roads WA, the State’s linemarking and traffic signage
authority, has indicated that it would be prepared to accept a treatment
comprising a hatched median with a minimum of two strategically placed traffic
islands. Based on the installation of traffic islands to accommodated both Main
Roads and pedestrian crossing requirements, an order of cost estimate for this
interim treatment is $8,000.
The support given to the WA Police Service in conducting
speed enforcement activities is consistent with the City’s Strategic Plan
2002-2005 goals and strategies:
“Healthy Communities
2.3 Support and
encourage the delivery of a safe and effective transport network
2.4 Support safe and
secure communities”

Issue
To consider changes to the speed limit on Vincent Road,
Sinagra.
Background
Correspondence has recently been received from Main Roads
Western Australia (MRWA) indicating that a speed review has been undertaken at
the request of Vincent Road residents and the WA Police Service on Vincent Road
from Pinjar Road to Garden Park Drive, Sinagra. For location plan refer Attachment
1.
MRWA has indicated that as Vincent Road is not speed zoned,
there is some confusion as to whether the road is subject to the default 50km/h
limit or the State Limit. Following assessment, it has been indicated that
Vincent Road from Pinjar Road to Garden Park Drive should be speed zoned at
70km/h.
Council’s concurrence to the proposed changes to the speed
limit on Vincent Road from Pinjar Road to Garden Park Drive has been requested
by MRWA.
Benara Nurseries has a large nursery on Vincent Road and
currently, four heavy vehicular trips (B-Double size vehicles) per day occur on
this road under a permit granted by MRWA. It should be noted that land
development has also commenced on Vincent Road in the vicinity of Pinjar Road.
A roundabout will be constructed within 200m of Pinjar Road, which will
preclude access for the heavy haulage vehicles travelling to Benara Nurseries.
As part of the assessment by MRWA for speed zoning, the
City undertook traffic counts and speed analysis. An average of 9% heavy
vehicles are currently accessing Vincent Road. The following table provides
information regarding the 85th percentile speed on Vincent Road.

Comment
As part of its preparation for Blackspot funding, City
Administration investigated the number of crashes that occurred during the
five-year period from 1 January 1998 to 31 December 2002. A total of 13 crashes
were reported of which seven occurred at the intersection of Vincent Road with
Pinjar Road. The remaining six crashes occurred on Vincent Road itself.
Due to the imminent development of land and the need to
ensure a minimum “five year life” for a Blackspot project, this site was not
progressed any further. It is noted, however, that in front of Benara Nurseries
(which is operating on both sides of Vincent Road), there were three recorded
crashes, which a lowering of the speed limit may address.
Given that land development is progressing on the section
of Vincent Road closest to Pinjar Road and that the speed limit will be 50km/h
on completion of the first stage of land development in this area, and also
that Benara Nurseries will not be re-locating for a number of years,
Administration recommends that the extent of the 70km/h speed limit zone be
applicable only to that section of Vincent Road that will remain semi-rural for
quite some time in the future. It is therefore suggested that the 70km/h speed
limit sign as proposed by MRWA be relocated to the east of the main entrance to
Benara Nurseries. The proposed speed limit sign location is indicated on Attachment
1.
Statutory Compliance
MRWA is responsible for speed zoning and the installation
of regulatory signage. As part of its speed zoning procedure, MRWA has sought
Council’s concurrence to the reduction in the speed limit on Vincent Road.
Strategic Implications
The proposals to reduce the speed limit on Vincent Road is
consistent with the City’s Strategic Plan 2002-2005 goals and strategies:
“Healthy Communities
2.3 Support and
encourage the delivery of a safe and effective transport network
2.4 Support safe and
secure communities
2.6 Provide

Recommendation
That Council:-
1.REPEAL the current policy known as “Waste Management” (Policy
7.1.1); and
2.REPLACE the policy repealed in Recommendation 1 as follows:
To provide a comprehensive waste
management service to the City.
Statement
The City of Wanneroo is committed to
ensuring that its waste management services support the Strategic Plan to
§Develop sustainable waste management options
§Provide community focused services
§Identify, support and respond to the needs of
existing and new industries
§Provide value for money services
Range of Services
The City will provide a comprehensive
range of solid waste management services to support its community. These
currently include:
§Domestic rubbish collection
§Recycling collection
§Bulk rubbish collection
§Litter and dead animal collection
§Commercial rubbish collection
§Wangara Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
§Wangara Greens Recycling Facility
All of the above services other than
the Commercial Rubbish Collection are funded by the annual refuse collection
charge.
Domestic Rubbish Collection
The City will provide a weekly domestic
rubbish collection service to every occupied domestic property within the City
for the removal of domestic waste. The City will provide the rubbish
receptacle. All domestic premises, including ‘holiday homes’, shall be subject
to refuse collection charges, unless they have an alternative weekly rubbish
collection service. The refuse collection charge is to be set as part of the
annual budget each financial year.
Recycling Collection
The City will provide a fortnightly bag
recycling collection service to all properties serviced by the domestic rubbish
collection. Ratepayers may choose to use a recycling cart as an alternative to
the recycling bag service at an additional cost, including an establishment fee
and annual charge.
The City will promote waste reduction
and recycling in the community including domestic composting of organic
materials and market a small range of compost bins and worm farms at cost plus
an appropriate administration charge.
Bulk Refuse Collection
The City will provide a bulk rubbish
collection service to every occupied domestic property within the City for the
removal of large household items and tree loppings but not for building
materials and car bodies. A public notice in a local community newspaper will
be used to authorize residents to place rubbish on the verge.
The collection in each area will be
undertaken approximately every 10 months.
Litter and Dead Animal Collection
The City will provide litter
receptacles in appropriate streets, parks and reserves and at buildings under
the care, control and management of Council. These will be emptied on a
regular basis dependent on usage.
Bins with ‘dog poo’ bags will only be
installed at the approaches to approved dog beaches.
Domestic and wild animals that are
killed on roads will be collected and removed from site.
A verge litter crew will assist with
the regular removal of litter from verges with demonstrated litter problems.
Council will work with the Keep
Australia Beautiful Council and other appropriate bodies to promote and
encourage litter reduction. It will also support community litter collections
by assisting in rubbish removal.
Commercial Rubbish Collection
The City will operate a commercial
rubbish collection service with the intention of making a profit in accordance
with the approved business plan. Council will consider the opportunity to
charge lower fees for servicing businesses within the municipality as part of
the annual budget process each financial year.
Wangara Materials Recovery Facility
(MRF)
The City will operate its MRF at
Wangara while this is cost effective. It will seek economies of scale by
sharing use of the facility. The facility shall be operated in accordance with
the approved business plan.
Greens Recycling Facility
To promote effective green waste
recycling, the City shall issue four “clean green” vouchers to each property
paying the domestic rubbish charge each year. The vouchers will be issued with
the first rate notice each financial year. New properties coming onto the
domestic rubbish service shall be issued with four “clean green” entry vouchers
with their amended rate notice.
“Clean green” entry vouchers are valid
for a 14 month period from 1 August until 30 September the following year.
Lost vouchers will not be replaced.
Claims for non-receipt of “clean green” entry vouchers will only be recognized
if made in writing. A record will be kept of replacement vouchers issued.

Issue
That Council consider amendments made to the Public
Guidance Signage In Road Reserves Policy No. 7.3.10.
Background
The current Public Guidance Signage in Road Reserves Policy
was implemented in May 2001, and was due for review in July 2003.
The Policy and Local Laws Committee at its meeting on 09
September 2003 considered the amendments and adopted the following resolution:-
“Moved Cr Loftus, Seconded Cr
Treby
That the Policy and Local Law
Committee RECOMMEND to Council that the amended Public Guidance Signage in Road
Reserves Policy be adopted ……..:-
CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY”
Detail
Key changes are detailed below and individual changes can
be identified in the reviewed policy as per the report recommendation.
2.3 Tourist Signs
The amendment to this section of the policy reflects Main
Roads WA approval process and the Western Australian Tourism Commissions
“Essential Criteria”.
As previously stated in this Section:
“Designated tourist facilities
would be signed by the City throughout the area in accordance with the standard
sign devised by Main Roads WA. Such a sign shall be located only at road
junctions and in locations as determined by the City’s Administration.
Approved Tourist Signs are supplied and installed at no charge to the
organisation benefiting from that sign”.
Current advice from Main Roads WA indicates that approval
to place Tourist signage within the road reserve will need to comply with the
Western Australian Tourism Commission “Essential Criteria” in the first
instance. Upon receipt of an application in compliance with the Western
Australian Tourist Commission and supported by the City’s endorsement the
application is then forwarded to Main Roads WA for their
consideration/approval. If approved the cost of the signage is to be borne by
the applicant and installation undertaken by Main Roads WA.
2.4 Temporary Community Advertising Signs
The amendment to this section of the policy is minor.
As previously stated in Section 2.4 of the policy:
“Subject to approval by the
City’s Administration, a maximum of ten Temporary Community Advertising Signs
per application of up to 0.5 square metres in area per sign will be permitted
for non-profit organisations only for up to a maximum period of three
months.
On review of this statement City Administration has
concluded that a three month installation period for temporary signage is not
warranted as most community organisations and in particular sporting clubs
request signage for a maximum of six weeks, (six weeks before the event and
removal within 7 days after the event). An amendment to six weeks would
reduce the amount of signage on the road reserve, eliminates the need for
constant surveillance and enforcement by the City’s Rangers and reduces visual
pollution.
Comment
These amendments will result in the “Public Guidance
Signage In Roads Policy” being more streamlined and easier to administer for
the organisation and easier for community groups and organisations groups to
apply for.

Strategic Implications
The Public Guidance Signage In Road Reserves – Policy
Review is consistent with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan
(2002-2005) goals and strategies:
“Healthy Communities
To foster an identity that
promotes lifestyle choices and provision of quality services and
infrastructure.
2.1 Achieve an
understanding of our community’s needs – present and future.
2.6 Provide and manage
infrastructure to meet the needs of our community”.
Policy Implications
The purpose of this report is to recommend changes to the
Public Guidance Signage In Road Reserves Policy Number 7.3.10.
The intent of the Public Guidance Signage In Road Reserves
Policy is to provide public guidance signage to assist the public in locating
community and commercial services and facilities within the City of Wanneroo.
Reviewing this policy supports Council’s objective of
reviewing and developing policies covering signage within the City. This
policy is compliant with the City of Wanneroo draft Signage Strategy yet to be
endorsed by Council.

EndStrip - This will not be printed so do not delete
To provide public guidance signage to assist the public
in locating community and commercial services and facilities within the City of
Wanneroo (the City).
Statement
Approval to place a public guidance sign within the road
reserve requires a written application advising preferred wording with a
supporting street plan identifying signage location(s). The City’s approval
needs to be obtained prior to assessment of supply and/or installation cost or
whether a bond is applicable.
Public guidance signage that require the City’s approval
prior to installation include:
§Direction Signs (Urban and Rural Areas)
§Tourist Signs
§Temporary Community Advertising Signs
§Service Club Signs
§Land Estate Development Signs
§Industrial Estate Signs
1. General Requirements for Public Guidance
Signage
The following general requirements apply for all public
guidance signage located in the road reserve applications unless otherwise
advised:
1.1 The
City will undertake routine general maintenance associated with approved
permanent signage located within the road reserve but accepts no responsibility
for damage and/or public liability claim arising as a result of vandalism,
accident or wear and tear. Where signs are deemed by the City to require more
than routine general maintenance, then they will be removed and returned to the
applicant where known. If unknown, then these signs will be impounded at the
City’s Ashby Depot Compound.
1.2 The
City will not undertake routine general maintenance associated with approved
temporary signage located within the road reserve and accepts no responsibility
for damage and/or public liability claim arising as a result of vandalism,
accident or wear and tear. Where signs are deemed by the City to be causing a
nuisance or are considered to be a safety hazard then they will be removed and
returned to the applicant where known. If unknown, then these signs will be
impounded at the City’s Ashby Depot Compound.
1.3 The
City’s Ashby Depot Compound Stores Supervisor is empowered to collect an
impounding fee on a per sign basis or call on the bond for the return of signs
collected by its personnel, or appointed contractor(s), unless approved
otherwise. Any signs held in the Ashby Depot Compound for longer than a 30 day
period from the time it was collected will be disposed to the tip site.
1.4 Public
guidance signage to be located along Wanneroo Road requires Main Roads WA
(MRWA) approval. Applications will be assessed by the City in the first
instance and if approved they will be forwarded to MRWA for consideration.
MRWA’s decision is final.

No. 7.3.3), and
2. REPLACE
the policy repealed in Recommendation 1 as follows:
Scheduled Review: 1 July

City’s Director Technical Services for the installation of semi mountable
kerbing or bollards within the nature strip to protect landscaping, water
reticulation systems and to discourage parking on the nature strip.
Bollards

Issue
To consider a petition regarding the recently installed
pedestrian/security lighting in Shamrock Park, Two Rocks.
Background
In February 2002 as part of the Shamrock Park upgrade
project, a survey was conducted of residents located within a 400m walking
distance of the park to seek their input into the concept plan. A total of 19
responses was received, of which 12 supported the installation of park lighting
to improve security adjacent to the playground. Further to this the Safer
Citizen Urban Design Project working group recommended the installation of the
pedestrian lighting to the park for security reasons. Council subsequently
authorised a funding allocation in the 2001/2002 budget for this park security
lighting.
The locations in Shamrock Park recommended for lighting
included the playground, pathway and steps at the northern end of the park and
the southeast corner of the park.
The justification for the provision of lighting in this
park is summarised below:
·Illumination creates conditions for safe access to the park from
a set of steep steps.
·Extension of period available for use of equipment, particularly
in the summer months.
·The bush islands in the south east corner of the park reduce
visibility and natural surveillance in the absence of lighting.
The pedestrian walkway lighting was installed in June 2003
in accordance with Australian Standards AS 1158.3.1 1999 “Street Lighting
Pedestrian Areas” designed to Category 2.
A petition has since been received signed by ten people
from five adjacent properties who express concern in regard to the lighting
overspill from the pedestrian / security lights into their properties and
towards oncoming traffic. Survey replies in February 2002 from two of these
properties supported the installation of park security lighting.
Detail
The security lights were installed at the northern end of
Shamrock Park to light the pathway, steps and to also provide ambient lighting
to the playground equipment.
Consultation
Consultation was undertaken via the Shamrock Park Concept
Design Plan, which was advertised for public comment in February 2002. This
survey contained a direct question relating to the installation of lighting to
this area.
Comment
The lighting in the park was designed specifically for safe
pedestrian use of the path and stairs and also to provide adequate light for
playground users. To alleviate the concerns of the petitioners, Administration
staff investigated the merit of redirecting the light and reducing the
overspill into neighbouring properties by means of installing hooding and/or
shielding.
The City’s lighting consultant, Lincolne Scott Pty Ltd, has
undertaken an evening inspection and review of the design and advised of the
following two options to modify the lights to maintain conformity with AS
1158.3.1 and reduce the lighting overspill to the adjoining residents:
1.Attach metal shields to the existing wire guards on seven of the lights
2.Apply an opaque paint to the diffusers on the parts facing the
neighbouring properties.
It is proposed to instigate the option to apply the opaque
paint to all lights and monitor the situation. The estimated cost of these
works is $500.
It is not proposed to remove or reduce the luminance of the
lights as this would render the lighting scheme non compliant to AS 1158.3.1
and not serve the purpose for which the lights were installed.
Statutory Compliance
Australian Standards AS 1158.3.1 1999 “Street Lighting
Pedestrian Areas” designed to Category 2.
Strategic Implications
The provision of pedestrian lighting within the City is
compliant with the City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2002-2005) goals and
strategies
“Healthy Communities
2.4 Support safe and
secure communities
2.6To provide
and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of the community”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
The estimated cost of $500 for the modifications of the
lighting can be accommodated from the Park Operations Maintenance Budget.

Recommendation
That Council:-
1.NOTES that it is proposed to apply an opaque paint to the diffusers of
all lights in Shamrock Park, Two Rocks to reduce the overspill of light into
the adjacent properties, at an estimated cost of $500 to be funded from the
Parks Operations Maintenance Budget.
2.ADVISES the petitioners of the proposed works.

Issue
Assessment and recommendation for Tender Number 03312 -
Supply and Delivery of Personal Computers.
Background
At the 5 September 2001 Ordinary Council meeting a
resolution (Item CS03-09/01) was made to adopt a three (3) year replacement
programme for the City's IT hardware inventory. In December 2001, the Council
resolved to accept the tender submitted by Dell Computer Pty Ltd offering to
supply and deliver PCs with 17 inch monitors, for the period up until 30 June
2002 at a cost of $1,530 per unit. In September 2002 Council approved a twelve
(12) month extension (from 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003) to the Dell Contract.
As PC pricing is currently very competitive it was decided not to further
extend the Dell Contract but go to tender.
This year the City has budgeted to replace up to 110
existing PCs for staff and has made provision for an additional 12 PCs for new
staff.
Detail
As the value of the IT equipment will exceed the $50,000 a
tender to conform to the Local Government and Council Purchasing Policy is
required.
Tender 03312 for the Supply and Delivery of Personal
Computers was advertised on 16 August 2003 and at close of tenders on 2
September 2003 there were fourteen (14) tender submissions creating a total of
twenty (20) offers as listed in Table 1.

Issue
To review the rateability of Italian Aged Care, located at
33 Kent Road Marangaroo.
Background
In June 2002, in conjunction with the review being
undertaken at the time of the Royal Australia Air Force Association (RAAFA)
retirement villages located at Merriwa, the City wrote to Italian Aged Care
seeking details of their Marangaroo facility in order to determine whether the
property met the requirements for not-rateable status in accordance with
Section 6.26 of the Local Government Act 1995.
While a response was received in relation to part of the
facility, further action by the City was deferred pending the outcome of
Council’s deliberations with regard to the RAAFA retirement villages.
Following the Council’s decision to determine that the
RAAFA Retirement Villages be classified as rateable in respect of the
independent living facilities, the City again wrote to Italian Aged Care
seeking further information in order to make a determination on the facilities
rateability.
Detail
A review of the City’s rate book in July 2002 revealed that
Italian Aged Care was not rated.
Italian Aged Care have subsequently advised that the
facility is comprised of the following:-
1.Italian Community Nursing Home, being a 40 bed nursing home
2.Villa Terenzio Hostel, being a 41 bed hostel
3.Villa Cabrini, being 11 independent villas for retired people.
In addition, the facility includes a chapel for use by the
residents and the community at large and nun’s quarters.
A site map is attached (Attachment 1).
Tenants of the villas sign a ‘life tenancy’ requiring them
to pay an initial entry contribution and an ongoing daily maintenance fee.
Tenants are offered no guarantees on admission to either the hostel or nursing
home.
Section 6.26 of the Local Government Act 1995 states that
with the exception of land which meets specific criteria outlines in subsection
(2), all land within a district is rateable land.
In particular, Section 6.26 (2) of the Act provides that
the following land is not rateable –
“(d) land
used or held exclusively by a religious body as a place of public worship or in
relation to that worship, a place of residence of a minister of religion, a
convent, nunnery or monastery, or occupied exclusively by a religious
brotherhood or sisterhood;
(g)
land used exclusively for charitable purposes.”
Based on previous legal advice received by the City in
relation to RAAFA villages at Merriwa, the nursing home, hostel, nun’s quarters
and chapel may be not rateable. However, the independent villas are considered
to be rateable.
Subject to agreement by Council, the City’s administration
proposes to write to Italian Aged Care advising them that the independent
villas are considered to be rateable and will be seeking a valuation from the
Office of the Valuer General, for the Village to be rated accordingly. The
rates to be effective from 1 July 2003.
Consultation
The matter of rateability under Section 6.26 of the Act is
not a discretionary matter and therefore consultation is not appropriate. The
City’s administration has exhausted considerable effort with regard to the
RAAFA villages in liaising with the City’s legal representatives to ensure the
determination being recommended to Council is consistent with the provisions of
the Act. In the case of Italian Aged Care, the Manager Finance has also
corresponded with the Administrator of the facility in order to determine
whether the requirements of Section 6.26 (2) of the Act have been met.
The Administrator is aware of administration’s intention to
rate the independent villas.
Comment
Determining that the independent villas for retired people
are rateable is consistent with the principle of equity in rating.
Members of the community that choose to remain in
residential accommodation outside of retirement villages do not receive any
rate relief other than the that provided to pensioners and seniors under the
Rates (Rebates and Deferments) Act. The services and facilities provided by
the City are equally available to residents of retirement villages as they are
to the general community. It seems equitable that similar accommodation,
regardless of who provides it should be rated equally.
In the case of Italian Aged Care, while the nursing home,
hostel, nun’s quarters and chapel may be considered not rateable on the basis
of the religious or charitable nature of the services provided, the independent
villas are considered to be rateable.
Statutory Compliance
The Local Government Act 1995 provides as follows: -
“Section 6.26 (2) The
following land is not rateable –
(d) land
used or held exclusively by a religious body as a place of public worship or in
relation to that worship, a place of residence of a minister of religion, a
convent, nunnery or monastery, or occupied exclusively by a religious
brotherhood or sisterhood;
(g)
land used exclusively for charitable purposes.”
Strategic Implications
One of the strategies under Goal 4 Corporate Management and
Development is to maintain an equitable rating system.
Policy Implications
Nil.
Financial Implications
The rating of the independent villas will expand the City’s
rate base and allow for a more equitable spread of the annual rate burden.

Issue
To consider amending Council Policy 3.1.4 to provide for
the payment of retirement gratuities to staff who retire on or after having
been employed by the City for ten or more years continuously.
Background
Section 5.50 of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act)
requires a local government to prepare a policy in relation to employees whose
employment with the local government is finishing, setting out: -
·the circumstances in which the local government will pay an
employee an amount in addition to any amount to which the employee is entitled
under a contract of employment or award relating to the employee; and
·the manner of assessment of the additional amount,
and cause local public notice to
be given in relation to the policy.
For the purposes of this section of the Act the payment of an
additional amount includes the disposition of property (e.g. a gift) in favour
of, or the conferral of any other financial benefit on the employee.
Adoption of such a policy is a prerequisite to the
provision of any such additional financial benefit to a terminating employee.
Should the Council chose not to adopt such a policy, it would be required to
give local public notice of its intention each time it resolved to provide an
employee with a gratuitous retirement presentation.
Detail
The Joint Commissioners adopted the City’s current Policy
3.1.4 in 1999 (effective 1 July 1999) (Attachment 1 refers). It was
aimed at providing some flexibility in terms of redundancy and severance
payments at the time the staff of the former City were being offered positions
within the new local governments. It did not contemplate retirement gratuities
for long serving members of the staff.
The need for flexibility in terms of redundancy and
severance payments no longer exists in the City. It is proposed that such provisions
should therefore be deleted from Policy 3.1.4. It is worthy of note, however,
that should a ‘once off’ need arise, the Council can decide to make such a
payment provided that prior to actually making it, its intention to do so must
be the subject of local public notice.
The Executive Management Team (EMT) consider that proper
and tangible recognition should be given to retiring employees who have been
continuously employed by the City for ten (10) or more years. Many other local
governments in Western Australia have a policy of making ex gratia payments (in
cash or kind) to long-term employees on their retirement. The quantum of
gratuities offered ranges markedly from local government to local government.
One metropolitan local government surveyed, offers $200 total for ten (10) or
more years of service whilst another offered in excess of $100 per completed
year in excess of ten (10) years with no upper limit.
The proposed gift to the value of $30 per completed year of
service for retiring employees who have served the City for ten (10) or more
years proposed in this amended Policy is considered to be at the upper end of
the mid range of gratuities offered by other local governments in the Perth
Metropolitan area. Adoption of the proposed amended Policy will result in the
following retirement gratuity gifts to long-term employees: -
10 years continuous service $300
11 years continuous service $330
12 years continuous service $360
and so on to
20 years continuous service $600
30 years continuous service $900
In addition to the gratuity gift the policy also provides
for a presentation morning or afternoon tea with catering to a maximum cost of
$150 to be met by the City.
The proposed amended Policy 3.1.4 therefore refers to
‘retirement gratuities’ rather than redundancy and severance payments.
Consultation
Whilst no consultation has occurred in relation to the
proposed amendment of this Policy, an informal survey of most metropolitan
local governments has been undertaken to assess common practice.
Comment
It is considered that a policy to support a tangible
recognition of long and dedicated service will allow the City of Wanneroo to
better compete with other local authorities in terms of attracting and
retaining loyal and competent employees. The fact that employees located at
the Depot are co-located with City of Joondalup employees exposes a section of
our employees to the benefits offered by other local government employees.
In the absence of a formal Council Policy in relation to
retirement gratuities the Administration has until now provided long serving
retirees with a token gift to the value of $100 (and a morning or afternoon tea
to the value of $100).
A Management Procedure supported this recognition. Should
the Council adopt the amended Policy 3.1.4 as proposed the Management Procedure
will be withdrawn.
The amended policy as proposed, is considered to provide a
moderately generous recognition of employees who have given long and dedicated
service to the City.
Statutory Compliance
The adoption of amended Policy 3.1.4 as proposed by this
report is consistent with the requirements of Section 5.50 of the Act.
Strategic Implications
Amendment of the City’s existing Policy to provide
retirement gratuities to long serving employees is consistent with the City’s
Strategic Goal of 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.
Policy Implications
Amended Policy 3.1.4 defines the circumstances in which a
retirement gratuity will be paid by the City to its employees and will ensure a
fair benefit is consistently made available to all eligible employees.
Financial Implications
It is anticipated that the cost of future retirement
gratuities will average no more than $3,000 per annum.

Issue
To consider the outcome of a review of floodlighting on
reserves and to recommend future action.
Background
In October 2002, a project brief was approved to undertake
a review of floodlighting on City reserves.
The purpose of the study was to provide the City
with a detailed appraisal of all existing floodlight installations, their
effectiveness related to the purpose for which they were installed and their
compliance with current Australian Standards again for the particular sport or
purpose for which they have been installed. This was to enable the City to
consider a staged programme to carry out necessary maintenance and capital
upgrading to bring its floodlights up to standard.
The study was to identify:
·maintenance
requirements for poles, lamps and associated electrical installations; provide
a costed, prioritised programme over a 3 year period, and
·any
capital upgrading required to poles, lamps and associated electrical
installations in order to comply with current Australian Standards and to
provide a costed prioritised programme over a 3 year period.
Additionally the study was to set out the relevant
Australian Standards that apply to various nominated sports and provide a model
installation specification and budget cost estimate for each taking into
account allowances for supply and switchboard upgrades. The models would also
identify budget-operating costs (on a per pole per hour basis) and set out a
preventive maintenance schedule for adoption by the City.
The study would particularly bear in mind the City’s
risk management and public liability obligations.
As an outcome of a quotation process, Lincolne Scott
Australia Pty Ltd were appointed to carry out the study which was completed in
March 2003 at a cost of $35,000. A number of review meetings were held and a
final report was issued on 1 May 2003. A copy of the final report is available
in the Councillors’ Reading Room.
The internal project team comprised:
Manager Leisure & Library Services
Co-ordinator Parks Operations
Co-ordinator Leisure Services
Input was also obtained from the Director Technical
Services, Manager Infrastructure Services, Manager Operations and
Administration Officers (Facilities).
Detail
The scope of the report was broadly as follows:
·Review of existing floodlighting installations.
·Preparation of existing floodlighting layouts.
·Preparation of illustration layouts denoting playable areas.
·Identification of correct maintenance requirements, costs and
prioritising.
·Proposal of capital upgrade programme.
·Preparation of model floodlighting layouts.
·Review of the City’s floodlighting policy.
The report is extensive and provides a complete database
and detailed condition report of all floodlighting installations on active
sporting reserves.
The report found that only one installation complied with
current Australian Standards and that was the tennis court at Gumblossom
Reserve. In considering this it must be borne in mind that the standards for
floodlighting have only recently been increased.
Common problems identified within the report were:
·Insufficient quality of lighting fixtures
·Incorrect floodlight alignment. Most were aligned almost
horizontal
·No formal preventative maintenance programme
·Incorrect pole heights for the intended sports area. This was
more evident at the large sporting venues
·Incorrect pole locations for present sporting usage.
It is evident that the vast majority of installations not
only do not meet current Australian Standards but also do not comply with
previous Australian Standards. This is amply illustrated in the illumination
diagrams provided in the report. Another issue that has emerged is that small
ball sports are utilising floodlighting which only meets large ball sports
standards for training purposes. This has significant liability risk for the
City to consider.
The report details a maintenance programme to bring many of
the installations up to a reasonable standard and also suggests a preventative
maintenance programme.
The report has detailed model lighting layouts for various
sports and provided typical installation and operating costs. The installation
costs include standard allowances for associated supply and switchboard
upgrades, which may vary from installation to installation.
Comment
Lincolne Scott provided a detailed analysis of maintenance
items necessary and an indication of costs for the next five years. These
amounted to $158,600 which includes $37,400 in
year 1.
It is proposed that a programme of maintenance and
necessary allocations will be submitted for consideration in the budget
process. Additionally a formalised inspection and preventive maintenance
programme will be developed and implemented based on the recommendations of the
Lincolne Scott report.
The report gave a capital cost indication, if all
installations were upgraded at the one time, of $4,883,000. These costs assume
lighting is installed or upgraded to a training level only for large ball sports
(football, soccer, rugby).
Further inquiry and clarification indicated that there is
no legal requirement to upgrade the installations to meet current standards
unless, in general terms, the lighting installations did not meet the use and
standards criteria or until significant works were undertaken to the
installations. It is imperative however that any new installations being
considered comply in every respect with current standards.
The submitted programme was deemed to be unachievable in
terms of financial imposts and was therefore subject to review with the prime
criteria being to establish priorities based on ground utilisation and the need
for lighting.
In order to put into effect an upgrading of the current
installations, application will be made on an annual basis for consideration in
the budget process. Discussions are also taking place with the Department of
Sport & Recreation to determine criteria for grant funding for lighting
upgrading and this will be a factor to be taken into account in developing the
annual programmes.
A suggested 2004-05 programme for Community Sport and
Recreation Facility Funding (which will include Wanneroo Showgrounds) will be
submitted for consideration by Council at its 14 October 2003 meeting.
Statutory Compliance
All future floodlighting installations will need to comply
with the relevant Australian Standards applying to the principal sport and any
major upgrading carried out to existing installations will have to comply.
Strategic Implications
Nil
Policy Implications
With respect to a policy review, the report recommended
that two policies need to be developed. The first would be to define the
standards of lighting that will be installed on active reserves and could
incorporate funding and operating principles, and the second policy would
define technical requirements of installations. The relevant policies will be
developed and submitted to a meeting of the Policy and Local Laws Committee for
consideration prior to seeking Council adoption.
Financial Implications
Budget consideration will be sought on an annual basis for
funding of an upgrade and maintenance programme. The programme will also be
developed to take into account the opportunities to seek Community Sport and
Recreation Facility Funding

Issue
To consider proposals submitted for the development of
public open space in Butler.
Background
Within the overall Butler subdivision, a parcel of land
generally bounded by Connolly Drive, Kingsbridge Boulevard, Camborne Parkway
and Tollesbury Avenue is to be made available as a primary school site, sewer
pumping station reserve, drainage reserve and public open space. The site has
an overall area of 13.6499 ha (See Deposited Plan 37731 as Attachment 1).
The site will be broken into smaller parcels for:
Primary School 3.5 ha
Existing Lake 1.9837 ha
Sewer Pumping Station 0.0400 ha
Public Open Space (POS) 8.1262 ha
Drainage Reserve To be determined (made
up of two reserves)
The POS lot is subject to further subdivision to provide
for a large drainage sump on the corner of Connolly Drive and Tollesbury
Avenue, and a drainage reserve adjacent to Kingsbridge Boulevard (exact
location still to be confirmed) in keeping with usual procedures when utilising
stormwater drainage swales in lieu of sumps.
The site is also subject to a substantial easement in
favour of the Water Corporation for existing and planned sewer mains in the
site. These easements affect both the primary school site and the proposed POS,
and impact on the location of community infrastructure. Construction of
planned sewer mains of a minimum of 2 metres in diameter is programmed to occur
in some 15 years time and involves major open trenching and tunnelling
construction activity
Due to the topography of the site considerable earthworks
have been undertaken to make it suitable for development for both primary
school and practical active or passive open space use.
Improvements that have taken place or are taking place on
the site are:
Primary School
The school is under construction and will include the
construction of a joint oval to cater for soccer, cricket and junior football.
There will also be a shared vehicle parking on Lot 9026 between the school site
and the eastern end of the existing lake.
These facilities will be subject to a joint development and
use agreement that is currently under negotiation between the City and the
Education Department of Western Australia (EDWA)
Sewer Pump Station
This has been constructed on Lot 965 on the Tollesbury Road
frontage.
Future Sewer Works
Advice has been received that the Water Corporation will
require access to a large portion of the north eastern section of the POS site
in order to construct a major sewer main linking Clarkson with Alkimos. It was
originally proposed that this area would accommodate the southern entry portal
for sewer main tunnelling and associated construction access for a period of up
to two years. In this circumstance, there would be significant heavy vehicle
movement on the site, which will inevitably cause disruption to the local
community. It would appear the Water Corporation will need access to the site
in 15 years time, possibly earlier if the current pace of land development is
sustained. As a result it is likely that proposed works would have a
considerable impact on any community infrastructure constructed on the site.
The City has subsequently entered into discussions with the
Water Corporation in order to explore alternative construction options that would
have less of an impact with respect to the extent of works and the time
required to undertake it. An alternative entry portal to the north of the
existing land development front is being considered with access to the POS site
limited to tunnel exit activity only for up to a period of six months.
In either scenario there will be considerable disruption
due to the installation of the sewer main and could mean removal of community
infrastructure developed on the POS site. The Satterley Group, the developer,
have advised by way of correspondence to the City dated 4 August 2003, “We
believe the Water Corporation is aware that there will be reinstatement costs
for parking areas proposed in the open space. Alternative arrangements for
parking and playing field use may be required during the period of construction
by the Water Corporation.”
At this stage negotiations with the Water Corporation are
still to be finalised.
Stormwater Drainage
A large stormwater drainage sump has been constructed on
the north eastern corner of the POS site to cater for stormwater originating
from the north and northeast landform. There is a system of interconnecting
stormwater drainage swales linking the southern and eastern perimeter of the
POS site that caters for stormwater originating from the south and southeast
landform.
Mobile Library Stop
A Mobile Library Stop was being promoted as part of the
vehicle parking area proposed immediately adjacent to the primary school.
However, this is no longer being promoted due to ingress and egress issues for
the City’s Mobile Library semi–trailer unit. It is recommended that the Mobile
Library Stop be relocated to the Connolly Drive end of the POS site linking
with car parking facilities to be accessed direct from Connolly Drive.
Public Open Space Development
Several options for the potential development of the POS
have been considered which have all had to take into account the impact of
stormwater drainage, both from the sump and the swale system, and the general
site topography.
The development options have generally focussed on
endeavouring to achieve a balance between active and passive recreation. Recent
options have included the development of 16 netball courts and a large
community facility in addition to the joint use active sports oval with EDWA.
This proposal was reviewed in light of current experience
with community concerns at noise and disruptions at Warradale Oval where a
similar community facility has been constructed.
It was therefore proposed that the focus of the development
should be on a strong mix of passive development to complement the joint use
oval based on a “Village Green” concept being developed by the City. The main
facility suggested would have a rotunda as a centrepiece, which could be used
for concerts, family gatherings and a variety of entertainments, focussed on
the local community. Other facilities could include BBQ’s, four tennis courts
for social use, a tennis hit-up wall, a three on three basketball area,
recreational pathways, limited vehicle parking, a mobile library stop and
extensive landscaping.
The development of a multi use community facility and
netball courts had been considered to be more relevant to a District Open Space
area, with a possible site currently being investigated approximately 1.5
kilometres to the north of the POS site.
Detail
A proposal has been received from The Satterley Property
Group (the Developer) for the development of the POS with their submission
detailed in full as follows:
“In order to progress the design of the Local Open Space
(LOS) to the east of the proposed Brighton Primary School, I attach for the
City’s consideration two options:
Option 1
This incorporates a proposal where the Joint Venture
provides LOS to accommodate for the following uses:
1.Open passive recreation “Village Green”, including barbeques,
shelters, and seats, set amongst irrigated turf, trees.
2.Tennis courts (4 – 8), a multi-purpose “3 on 3” basketball court
and tennis hit-up wall located amongst other facilities including sunken amphitheatre
seating and more formal paved areas.
3.Two multi-purpose playing fields (soccer and hockey)
incorporating a junior sized cricket field.
4.Car parking for approximately 105 bays vegetated and screened
from the residential areas to the north.
5.Landscaped drainage swales configured to accommodate for
irrigated turf, trees and shrubs.
6.A Family Community Centre to accommodate a smaller function area,
public toilets, storage and offices for use by various Government Service
Authorities, Playgroup Association and other community groups.
This option has the benefit to accommodate for all of
the uses as requested by the City of Wanneroo and enables the accommodation of
built form (along the lines of the Marangaroo Family Centre). It is proposed
that this Centre accommodate for low-key community uses. The Centre is
proposed to be located to the south of the formal drainage sump in order to
maximize acoustic buffers and any visual pollution that can be possibly
perceived from the residential areas to the north. It is anticipated that this
car park be closed every evening i.e. 9:00pm to minimize any potential after
hours anti-social behaviour.
Based on this option the Joint Venture would be
providing in excess of the normal 8-10% public open space contribution.
Option 2
This incorporates modified LOS currently proposed in
order to accommodate for the following uses:
1.Two (or more) tennis courts with combination 3 on 3 basketball
court and tennis hit-up wall.
2.Sunken playground.
3.A Village Green accommodating barbeques, picnic areas, shelters
and bench seats.
4.Two multi-purpose playing fields and junior sized cricket field.
5.Fully landscaped drainage swales.
6.A Two-hectare residential group housing site.
This option provides all of the facilities as requested
by the City of Wanneroo and implements its suggestion to consider the reduction
in size of the LOS. This reduction in the open space, enables a two-hectare
residential site to be subdivided within this area.
The Butler Joint Venture believes that both options
could be implemented and there is strong demand for community facilities at
Brighton. It further considers the community benefits generated by Option 1
significantly outweighs short-term commercial benefits presented by Option 2.
Furthermore, Option 1 reflects the community expectations in terms of what was
to occur with public open space.
Accordingly, we request that the City of Wanneroo agree
in principle to the adoption of the design as per Option 1.
In order to ensure that these works are carried out in an
orderly manner, we request that the City of Wanneroo consider adopting this
proposal as soon as possible.
It is further proposed as per our discussions of the 4th
September 2003, to allocate proposed funds provided by the Butler Joint Venture
as per the Collaborative Planning Agreement towards the works proposed within
this Local Open Space. It would be expected that these funds will include all
landscape and construction works associated with Option 1, other than the
playing fields to be funded by the Education Department.
Accordingly, with the anticipated opening of the new
Butler Primary School in February 2003, the Board of the Joint Venture is
anxious to ensure that playing fields are provided by this time.”
The Developers concept proposals are submitted as Attachments
2 and 3.
Comment
Of the two options presented Option 1 is considered by
Administration to be the most appropriate for further detailed negotiation.
Issues, which will have to be addressed and resolved, include:
Mobile Library Stop
A Mobile Library Stop being created to meet the City’s
standards with access off Connolly Drive.
Community Facility
Creating Communities Australia Pty Ltd, in their report
“Brighton Estate Butler – Provision of a Community Centre” have stated, among
other things,
“While the Brighton Joint Venture is committed to the
early provision of a community centre within Brighton Estate, it is keen to
adopt a partnership approach to maximise viability and community benefit.
Opportunities exist for potential alliances, joint provision and/or
resource-sharing with the City of Wanneroo, the Department of Education and
Training, the Northern Metropolitan Health Service (NMHS) and the Department
for Community Development (DCD).”
A copy of the report has been placed in the Elected Members
Room.
It would appear that the primary beneficiaries of a
community facility might well be a variety of government departments and
agencies.
The report sets out:
“A full range of envisaged uses includes:
Specific uses and services that would be delivered from
the facility include:
·Community Information Point
·Community Notice Board- information on local activity programs
·Pamphlet stand – information on local services and agencies
·Calendar of local events
·Distribution point for local community and business directory
– contacts for local organisations and businesses
·PC promoting Brightontown intranet and 2Cities.com.
Community and Child Health Centre
·Child Health Nurse – clinical services provided by North
Metropolitan Health Service
·Early intervention programs - provided by NMHS, Dept for
Community Development and Dept of Education and Training
·Family support groups and initiatives – provided by Dept for
Community Development
·Parenting programs - provided by Dept for Community Development
·Financial counselling service- provided by Dept for Community
Development
·Women’s health and self esteem programs - provided by NMHS,
Dept for Community Development and Dept of Education and Training
Children’s activities
·Playgroup
·Crèche
·School holiday programs
·Children’s performing arts classes (music, drama, dance)
Community Group Meetings
·Brighton Neighbourhood Watch
·Brighton Estate Residents Association
·Local business association
·Community project committees
·Local action groups
Tennis Courts
It is recommended that there be four courts and that these
are to be floodlit to current Australian Standards.
Basketball/Hit-Up Wall
It is recommended this facility be floodlit provide for
night-time use.
BBQ Area
It is recommended that this facility comply with the City’s
model for the development of BBQ areas, i.e. with the provision of waste bins,
water, lighting and shelter.
Vehicle Parking
The design and layout will need to comply with City
standards and also take into account the requirements of Safer Citizens and
Rangers for patrol purposes.
Path System/Park
Security lighting will need to be installed to encourage
safe night time use.
Sewer Extensions
It would appear that a substantial portion of the planned
community infrastructure, in particular the Community Facility, may fall within
the sewer easement. It is strongly recommended that this issue be further
investigated and that the Developer provides written assurances to the City
that no disruption will be caused to the community infrastructure and any
associated improvements in the future. Where impact does occur then an
appropriate management/replacement plan needs to be developed.
Stormwater Drainage
The extent of the stormwater drainage sump on the north
eastern corner of the POS site needs to be clarified. Furthermore, a drainage
reserve needs also to be included in lieu of the stormwater drainage swales
being promoted on the eastern and southern edges of the POS site.
Design
It is recommended that any final design of the POS site and
any community infrastructure thereon be subject to City approval prior to
commencement of any development work on site being undertaken be the Developer.
Cost Estimates
No detailed costings have been provided for either of the
options however some indicative rates have been provided by the Developer.
During discussions in this regard there was an indication that Option 1 is
estimated to cost in the order of $1.8 million subject to the size and cost of
the Community Facility.
No allowance appears to have been made for the Mobile
Library Stop, floodlighting and other items being sought though an allowance of
$215,000 has been made for the joint use oval.
Detailed cost estimates will have to be prepared as part of
any final design and approval process.
Collaborative Planning Agreement
The City is in the course of finalising negotiations with
respect to a “Collaborative Infrastructure Agreement” (the Agreement) with the
Developer. The Agreement relates to Phase 1 of the Brighton development and
covers an area approximately 102 ha.
The focus of the agreement is to recompense the City for
undertaking maintenance of the landscaping and associated community
infrastructure identified in the agreement within the estate to a
City/developer agreed standard that is of a higher service level than is
currently maintained by the City.
Community Chest
When Council considered the Butler District Structure Plan
(refer Item LR12-11/02 at the 26 November 2002 meeting), it imposed a condition
requiring the Developer to submit:
"the
finalisation and implementation of the Economic and Employment Initiatives
Strategy including provision for mixed use/commercial around the Butler Railway
Station".
The Developer has subsequently submitted that document and
in that strategy reference is made to a commitment as follows:
"A
community chest is proposed to be established by mid 2003 for the provision of
other community services and employment training programs that the City of
Wanneroo considers appropriate”
“….cash
contribution of $300 per lot sold toward a Community Chest coordinated by a
committee consisting of the BJV, City of Wanneroo and representatives of the
local community. It is proposed that these contributions will begin by mid
2003.”
It would appear to be appropriate that the funding of the
development of the POS site as proposed by the Developer be sourced from this
account rather than the Collaborative Planning Agreement.
Development Process
The responsibility for the design and development of the
public open space rests with the City as the land vests in care control and
management under a Management Order from the Crown.
The design of the public open space needs to be carried out
within the guidelines established by the City’s Policy 3.2.1 Community Consultation
and Engagement Policy.
To maintain consistency in approach in the planning of Open
Space it will be recommended a Reference Group be established similar to
Gumblossom Reserve Master Plan Reference Group.

Issue
To consider the proposed schedule of Safer Citizens Urban
Design Projects throughout the City.
Background
Urban design is one of the four core components of the
City’s Safer Citizens community safety and security program.
This component of Safer Citizens looks at ‘designing out’
features that may contribute to criminal and anti-social activity in new and
existing suburbs. In the 2003/04 financial year, a provision of $70,000 was
approved by Council to resource the implementation of a series of urban design
initiatives.
As part of the City of Wanneroo’s ongoing commitment to
providing a safe environment for its residents a series of locations have been
identified as potential Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)
projects and are presented for consideration.
Detail
The following projects have been identified through a
compilation of various processes including community feedback, internal and
external consultation and the interpretation of statistical data.
Safer Citizens Patrol Officers have regularly been
requested to attend ongoing incidents of anti social behaviour, damage and
crime, (in many instances drug or substance abuse related) at these locations
and correspondence from residents highlights the concern amongst community
members.
The following schedule identifies the suggested projects:

Note:
·Only the installation costs of the Western Power “Power Watch”
lighting has been taken into consideration.
·Ongoing costs will be dependant on the luminance of the lights
used in each location. The annual rental of either $503.94 (400 watt) or
$1,156.00 (1,000watt) per light will be funded from normal operational lighting
costs. Total ongoing annual costs will be between $3527.58 and $8,092, however
the expectation is that the actual amount will be closely aligned to the lesser
figure.
·All projects will
commence as soon as practicably possible, given that the funds for the projects
are contained within the 2003/2004 budget.
·The projects will
be initiated and monitored by the Safer Citizens Working Group advice being
sought where necessary, from other relevant business units within the City of
Wanneroo.
·External contractors
will carry out the majority of the work.
·An allowance of
10% has been allowed on all projects for design documentation and project
supervision.
Consultation
Each proposed Safer Citizens urban design project will be
developed following internal approval and where deemed necessary external
consultation with relevant stakeholders.
Comment
The proposed projects support the overall objectives of the
urban design component of the Safer Citizen Program by:
·Positively impacting on antisocial behaviours in designated
areas.
·Focusing on issues of safety, security and natural surveillance.
·Maintaining a high level of commitment to urban design
initiatives.
It is envisaged that the proposed improvements will greatly
improve visibility and reduce the amount of anti social and criminal activity
at and around the project locations.
Statutory Compliance
Nil
Strategic Implications
The recommended initiatives are congruent with the
objectives of the City’s Strategic Plan: - Goal 2 Healthy Communities, Strategy
2.4 Support Safe and Secure Communities.
Urban design projects aim to minimise anti social behaviour
and contribute to the designing out of features that contribute to community
crime and security concerns.
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
As previously stated, Council has approved a budgetary
allocation of $70,000 for Safer Citizens urban design projects in the 2003/2004
financial year.
The total estimated cost of these proposed urban design
projects is $70,000
Annual rental for Western Power “Power Watch” lighting is
to be funded by normal operational lighting costs.

The current list of Bush Fire Control Officers (appointed
last financial year) included the Chief Bush Fire Control Officer, 3 Deputy

Issue
To consider the repeal of various Council policies and to
reschedule the review dates for policies that require no changes at present.
Background
At the inaugural Policy and Local Laws Committee meeting
held on 29 July 2003, a schedule of policies to be reviewed was presented.
The schedule was to give elected members an indication of which policies
required a review, those that were to be revoked, as well as those that did not
require a change and therefore would have their review dates revised.
Detail/Comment
Elected members requested that Administration provide
further details in the schedule of what actions were proposed to be taken in
the review process. The schedule was once again presented to the Policy &
Local Laws Committee meeting held on 09 September 2003 as well as a report
outlining those policies that required repealing.
The committee at its meeting on 09 September 2003 resolved
as follows:-
“Moved Cr
Salpietro, Seconded Cr Treby
That the
Policy and Local Laws Committee RECOMMENDES to Council that:-
a) The
policies listed below be REPEALED:-
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY”
Policies that require repealing are listed below:-
Office of the Chief Executive Officer
3.1.7 Policy Development
This policy will be revoked and replaced with an introductory
paragraph at the beginning of the Policy Manual detailing procedures for policy
development.
3.2.2 Environmental Sustainability
This policy will be replaced with the new Smart Growth
Strategy.
Planning & Development Directorate
4.1.2 Consulting Rooms
The need for this Policy no longer exists as sufficient
controls for Consulting Rooms now exist under DPS2.
4.1.7 Advertising of Planning Proposals
The process for advertising planning proposals is clearly
established in Clause 6.7 of DPS2. The need for this Policy therefore no longer
exists.
4.2.1 Amusement Machines
‘Amusement Parlours’ was a use not listed within the Zoning
Table of the City’s former Town Planning Scheme No. 1. In the absence of
provisions to control the location of amusement machines/centres within the
City this Policy was adopted. With the gazettal of DPS2 the need for this
Policy no longer exists as ‘Amusement Facility/Parlour’ has been identified
within the Zoning Table.
4.2.2 Beauty Salons/Hairdressers
‘Beauty Salons’ and ‘Hairdressers’ were use classes not
listed within the Zoning Table of TPS1. In the absence of provisions to control
the location of Beauty Salons and Hairdressers within the City this Policy was
adopted. With the gazettal of DPS2 the need for this Policy no longer exists as
the use classes of ‘Beauty Parlour’ and ‘Hairdresser’ are identified within the
Zoning Table.
4.3.1 Bicycle Parking Facilities
Provisions addressing bicycle parking facilities have been
incorporated into Clause 4.16 of DPS2. The need for this Policy is no longer
required.
4.3.4 Industrial
Development, Petrol Filling Stations and Service Stations in Priority 1
and 2 Groundwater Source Areas
This Policy conflicts with the provisions of DPS2 and
therefore should be rescinded. In addition, the referral process to State
Government Agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Authority and the
Water and Rivers Commission will provide sufficient guidance to determine
development proposals within Priority 1 and 2 groundwater source areas.
4.3.5 Motorised Sporting Activities
This Policy seeks to group all motorised sporting
activities within the Pinjar Recreation Reserve. There is no reason why the
City could not consider locating motorised sporting activities elsewhere in the
City, should an applicant provide sufficient justification and evidence is
provided in relation to the containment of noise and other associated impacts
to the site. Each application should be considered on its individual merits and
as such the policy should be rescinded.
4.3.6 Sandblasting
There are adequate controls under the Environmental
Protection Act to control open dry sandblasting. This Policy is therefore not
required.
4.3.7 Service Station Setbacks
DPS2 has provisions contained within Clause 4.7 to control
the setback of Service Stations. This Policy is no longer required.
4.3.8 Two Dwellings on Rural Lots
This Policy is contrary to the corresponding provisions of
DPS2 and should be revoked.
Community Development Directorate
6.4.1 Burning of Garden Refuse & Cleared
Vegetation:-
This policy is now enshrined in the Bush Fires Act 1956.
The Policy is no longer required and will be deleted as per the briefing note
circulated to elected members in June. Agreed at the Policy and Local Laws Committee
meeting on 29 July 2003 that this Policy be rescinded as the conditions
contained in this policy are now incorporated in amendments to the Bush Fires
Act 1954, part 3 Section 24 and advertised in Government Gazette, WA on 15
October 2002 and the Environmental Protection Act 1986, Part 7a Sections 16a
and 16b and advertised in the Government Gazette, WA on 19 December 2000.
Technical Services Directorate
7.2.2 Playground Equipment
This policy relates to playground equipment being supplied
in accordance with the appropriate Australian Standard. This is management
practice and the need for a policy is not required.
7.3.8 Removal of Graffiti and Repair of
Vandalism:-
This issue is addressed in the Private Property Local Law
and a policy is therefore not required.
