Issue

To consider a request for the permanent closure of Reserve 46005, located between Lots 12 and Lot 86, Clarecastle Retreat, Mindarie.

Background

Reserve 46005 is Crown land set aside for the purpose of “Emergency Vehicles and Pedestrian Access”. The reserve was set aside at the time the Mindarie Keys residential precinct was developed and is under the control of the City by means of a Management Order issued by the Minister for Lands. The reserve runs from Clarecastle Retreat to the waters edge on the western side of the Mindarie Harbour as shown on Attachment 1.

The reserve has a six metre frontage to Clarecastle Retreat and a 15 metre frontage to the marina. It has been bituminised for its entire length and abuts the retaining walls of the private lots on either side, one of which contains the dwelling of the applicant. The other property is vacant.

In 1998, the applicant made a previous request for closure on the grounds of anti-social behaviour. That request was rejected on the grounds that the reserve had been created for the purpose of emergency access and should be retained.

Detail

In September 2004, the owners of Lot 12 (17) Clarecastle Retreat, located to the immediate north of the reserve, lodged the current request to close the reserve. The applicant has provided the following arguments in support of the request:

· The reserve is ineffective as an emergency water access route as there is no jetty or other structure by which people can board or alight from a vessel. The position of limestone boulders used as a breakwater on which the seawall is constructed prevents craft from mooring directly onto the seawall. Furthermore, the bollards erected along the seawall restrict the movement of stretchers or other equipment that would normally be involved in an emergency operation.

· The reserve is not needed for emergency access, as there is a better site with easy access by water at Recreation Reserve 35890, which is located at Rosslare Promenade. This is a shallow beach area and is situated only 200 metres north of the subject Reserve by direct water route and only 250 metres by road along Clarecastle Retreat. Furthermore, in the event the use of a large vessel was ever required it is to be expected that it would choose the facilities at the nearby hotel.

· There has not been an incident over the last six years and none recorded prior to then, that required the use of the reserve for emergency access or evacuation purposes.

· In respect to public access the question arises as to what facility does it lead to. There is no usable amenity, other than a small stretch of 15 metres on the seawall, and the very small area abutting this renders it impracticable for any use other than rod fishing by a few people at any given time.

· There is no public toilet facility, resulting in people urinating against adjoining private property walls.

· The paved reserve is used regularly by hoon drivers who are attracted by the steep gradient. These drivers illegally remove the metal barrier at the entrance that is designed to restrict its use to emergency vehicles, and in so doing constitute a hazard to whatever legitimate pedestrian use that may occur.

The request was referred to the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) for comment, as required by current legislation practices. DPI has advised it does not support the requested closure for the following reasons:

· The reserve serves a strategic purpose in terms of providing a pedestrian link to part of the Mindarie Marina. Closure would be contrary to the original objectives for the marina, which included a high degree of public access due its regional importance as a tourist and recreation attraction.

· The reserve does not solely provide a designated emergency access route. It currently provides a stopping off point for a pedestrian circuit around the harbour and recreational activities.

· Closure of the reserve would prevent the improvement of the emergency and recreation uses in the event that a jetty is constructed in the future. Eventually, the Mindarie harbour will be a major recreational focus for a population of more than 100,000 people and it is important to maintain its availability for the future.

The DPI also stated that some years ago there was considerable interest in the degree of public access to the harbour edge at Mindarie Keys and the Auditor General made adverse comments concerning the lack of public access achieved in the original subdivision. The access point was originally designated as a small marina in the subdivision guide plan (refer Attachment 2) and was deleted on the basis that it was to be replaced by the current public access.

Comment

The request for closure has been examined with consideration against a number of key assessment criteria.

(1) Role of the Reserve in the neighbourhood

The reserve does not form part of a connected pedestrian/cyclist network for the neighbourhood. Its primary function is for emergency evacuation access from the marina area, however the reserve provides access to the marina for the purposes of passive recreation, including fishing and sight seeing. It should be noted that the original harbourside plan identified a jetty facility to service those residents located on the western side of Clarecastle Retreat that did not have direct marina frontage. The emergency access reserve is the closest access that these residents have to the marina water.

(2) Access to community facilities and services

The reserve does not serve as a through route to any local shops, bus stops, schools, medical centres, libraries, youth or aged centres. However it does provide access to the harbour and the associated views etc.

(3) Anti-social behaviour considerations

There is limited evidence of anti-social behaviour in the reserve. Inspection on several occasions has revealed no damage to private property and very little graffiti, however some littering has occurred. It is evident that the removable vehicle bollards should be locked in position, when legitimate access is not required.

(4) Access for the disabled and seniors

The reserve does not lead to any facility that the disabled or elderly would normally use other than passive recreation, such as viewing or rod fishing. The steep gradient would make it very difficult for disabled users.

(5) Availability of alternative access routes

There is very limited access to the marina along its western bank. The closest access to the marina is at the northern beach end, where access is available from Rosslare Promenade across a sandy beach area. This access is located some 250 metres to the north. It should be noted that there is no other access along Clarecastle Retreat to the marina, which extends approximately 600 metres between the inside beach (adjacent to Rosslare Promenade) and the marina heads.

(6) Importance to the pathway system and the Wanneroo Bike Plan

The reserve is not important to the pedestrian and cyclist network of the locality other than for access to the marina for passive recreation and sightseeing.

(7) Alternatives to closure of the Reserve

If the reserve is to remain open for its designated purpose, the only remedial measures that could be taken would be more stringent control to ensure the vehicle prevention bollards are always in place, improved lighting and anti-graffiti coating on adjacent fencing and retaining walls.

(8) Comments from State Government Agencies

The DPI has advised that it is opposed to the closure for the reasons stated under the “Detail” heading of this report. If Council resolves to proceed with the closure process, then it will be necessary to consult with the various utility agencies to confirm that there are no services within the reserve that would require protection of relocation.

(9) Comments from residents and other users of the PAW

The residents of the one adjoining dwelling and the developer of the vacant adjoining property support the closure of the reserve. The other users of the reserve are likely to be occasional visitors and these have not been canvassed to date.

(10) General

Reserve 46005 serves a dual purpose of providing passive access to the marina for visitors to the area and, more importantly, for emergency access to the marina. The original marina concept plan promoted a larger public focal point, with provision for parking, jetty facilities and emergency access (refer Attachment 2). This original design was modified to reduce the size of the public and emergency access to a minimum width to facilitate pedestrian and vehicle access to the marina.

Whilst the reserve may not have been utilised for formal emergency operations to date, it represents the only publicly preserved access for vehicles and pedestrians on the western side of the marina. If the reserve were closed, it would result in approximately 650 metres of private frontage to the marina, without any form of public access.

In its present form, with no jetty, it would be difficult but not impossible for the reserve to be accessed from the marina for emergency purposes. In its advice, the DPI stated (amongst other things) that there is a possibility of the future construction of a jetty for the intended purpose if deemed appropriate.

Casual observation of the reserve on weekends has identified that it is used mainly by children for rod fishing. The anti-social behaviour identified by the applicants cannot be said to be of a nature or at a level that would have a significant detrimental affect on the amenity of their lifestyle. The reserve does not provide an escape route for offenders and it does not affect the visual privacy of the residents.

Given that the reserve is the only public access to the inside of the marina from its western bank for a total distance of 650 metres (between the inside beach area and the western most residential lot) and its potential significance as a strategic emergency access, it is recommended that the reserve not be closed.

Statutory Compliance

Closure of the reserve can only be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the Land Administration Act 1997, and in accordance with the procedures brought down by the DPI under Cabinet approved guidelines. This process involves the following key steps:

1. A 35 day community consultation period. This would be undertaken by way of an onsite advertising sign, newspaper notice and letters to adjacent landowners and utility agencies.

2. Council consideration of the closure in the light of any submissions.

3. The City lodges a formal request to the Land Asset Management Services section of the DPI, seeking the Minister for Lands consent to close the reserve.

4. The reserve land is sold to the adjoining landowner/s.

Strategic Implications

Closure of the reserve would be inconsistent with the Healthy Communities goal of the City’s Strategic Plan, which seeks to provide and maintain infrastructure to meet the needs of our community and also support safe and secure communities.

Issue

To consider a revised application for a business centre (1516m² GFA) with 55 on-site car parking bays and associated landscaping on the subject lot (refer Attachment 1).

Applicant	Anthony Rechichi & Associates Architects
Owner	Ausnam Endeavour Pty Ltd
Location	Lot 700 (32) Balgonie Avenue, Girrawheen
Site Area	3796m2
DPS 2 Zoning	Business

Background

The current application has been referred to Council at the request of a Councillor, pursuant to the Council’s current notice of delegation. Council has considered two previous proposals for the subject property in 2002 and 2003. The significant dates associated with the applications and Council’s determinations on the lot are:

11/9/2001 - The original application was submitted to the City.

Numerous meetings and amended plans submitted over the next 6 months with the application referred to Council (PD09-03/02) on the 19 March 2002 for a determination. Council resolved to:

“1. REFER the application back to Administration to undertake further negotiations with the applicant to seek a redesign of the plans to incorporate ‘Main Street Principles’ in relation to the Balgonie Avenue frontage and northern boundary of the lot;

2. REQUIRE that the amended design shall incorporate safer design strategies in relation to the Safer Citizen’s CEPTD principals, to the satisfaction of the City.

3. NOT SUPPORT the discretionary land uses contained within the current proposal. This relates specifically to the video Hire Store, the Take-Away Food Outlet and the combined Asian Food-Goods Wholesaler and Bakery.”

February 2003 – In response to the Council’s March 2002 resolution, revised plans are submitted for consideration.

The Council (PD11-04/03) subsequently granted approval on 29 April 2003, subject to standard conditions and a number of special conditions as follows:

“2. Prior to the submission of a Building Licence the applicant is to submit amended plans for approval incorporating the following amendments all to the satisfaction of the Manager Approval Services:

a) Building facade design particularly to Balgonie Avenue being modified to minimise right-angle walls (i.e. entrance at lunch bar) to improve visual surveillance;

b) Building facade design to include verandahs for shelter and have a close interface with pedestrian linkages and carparking areas.

c) The Bin Storage Area being located and designed to comply with the City’s minimum requirements.

d) Access way levels being amended in accordance with the amendments shown on the approved plans.

3. Support only permitted land uses as listed in DPS2 Zoning/Business.

4. The proposed landscaping and carparking works within the road reserve are not part of this approval and will require a separate planning approval and traffic impact assessment/study to be carried out in consultation with the City’s infrastructure Services. The Traffic Impact study would be carried out at the applicant/owners expense to the satisfaction of the Manager Approval Services.

19. The subject lot is to be levelled, building debris removed and the sand stabilized within 60 days of the date of this approval to the satisfaction of the Manager Approval Services.”

On 23 December 2003 the City issued approval for revised plans that were submitted in response to the conditions originally imposed by Council’s determination on the 29 April 2003. These plans were the result of numerous months of negotiation by the applicant to comply with the conditions detailed above and included many of the changes that are proposed as part of the current application. The assessment of the 23 December 2003 application has been included as Table 1 in the Compliance section of this report.

31 January 2005 – Submission of amended plans, however the submission was incomplete.

10 March 2005 – Amended plan submission complete and assessment proceeded by the City’s Administration.

On 16 May 2005 the current application was submitted as the current approval was due to lapse and this represents a minor modification and renewal to the plan approved by Council at its 29 April 2003 meeting. The changes add 206m² GFA to the already approved 1310m² GFA giving at total of 1516m² GFA and changing the uses to those permitted within a Business zone. The assessment of the current application has been included as Table 2 in the Compliance section of this report.

Detail

Proposal

The application proposes a Consulting Room (1 Consultant / NLA of 130m²), Lunch Bar (NLA of 138m²), Showroom (GFA of 187 m²) Restaurant x 2 (combined NLA of 301m²), Office x 8 (combined NLA of 696m²), 55 on-site car parking bays and associated landscaping (refer Attachments 2, 3 and 4).

The application proposes no significant changes and is considered more compliant with the City’s requirements than the previous application determined by Council (refer Attachment 5). Issues raised at the time of determining the previous development application were the proposed use classes and provision of on-site and off-site carparking. These have now been addressed and the current application is compliant with the City’s requirements. All uses proposed are “P”, “permitted” uses under the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2) and the carparking requirements are accommodated on site.

A fresh application for development approval was sought due to the current development approval having lapsed as of 22 May 2005.

Consultation

No further consultation has been initiated for these amended plans as the design changes relate to the building only and are considered minor and the applicant is not seeking any discretion. The amended design does not affect the functionality of the centre and is unlikely to have any detrimental impact on the local surrounding area, given these issues have previously been addressed by the Council.

The proposed uses are all “P”, “permitted” under DPS2 and therefore do not require advertising.

Compliance

Comment

The current application before the Council is in keeping with the City’s requirements. The applicant seeks only those variations to the Scheme detailed as part of this report. The changes are listed hereunder and discussed further below:

· Block X - The lunch bar tenancy’s frontage has been bought forward to be in line with the adjoining units and the primary street setback to Balgonie Avenue has been increased from 1.5 metres to 1.9 metres at its closest point. The change adds 38m² NLA to the lunch bar. This change is considered to be consistent with the principles of Main Street and having frontages of buildings as close to the street boundaries as possible. The restaurant tenancies eastern walls have been lined up to remove unnecessary corners and the northern setback reduced from 4 metres to 3 metres. The setback complies with DPS2 requirements and the change adds 122m2 GFA to the restaurants GFA area.

· Block Y – The rear setback (eastern side) to the Tavern has been reduced from 1 metre to nil. The setback complies with DPS2 requirements and the change adds 62m2 NLA to the buildings NLA area.

· Block Z – The side setback (eastern side) to the Tavern has been reduced from 4.1 metres to 2 metres. The setback complies with DPS2 requirements and the change adds 52m² NLA to the building’s NLA area.

Main Street Principles

The proposal has incorporated the basic principles of building proximity to the street. However, several conditions are recommended to further enhance compliance with the ‘Main Street Themes’ of security and shelter. This should include shop frontages, which have a close interface with pedestrian linkages and carparking areas to have shelter by way of verandahs. There are some minor design elements, such as additional glazed areas and extending the shop verandahs to provide additional shelter along Balgonie Avenue. The applicant is aware of these minor design elements raised by the City’s Administration.

Use Class

As outlined in the Tables under the “Compliance” section of this report, the applicant has changed the proposed uses to only those that are permitted within the Business zoning of the property. These changes have also resulted in the application being brought into compliance with the carparking requirements associated with this development. The changes proposed are the Medical Centre reducing from two consultants to one, the removal of the hairdresser and beautician. The reduction in the number of consultants also changes the use from a Medical Centre to a Consulting Room. Conditions have been included within the recommendation to ensure that the future operations of the centre are clearly defined so that no confusion will exist in the future as to the approved uses and the NLA or patron numbers associated within the particular tenancy within the centre.

The applicant has also been advised that the increase in the GFA associated with the restaurant uses is able to support substantially more people than has been applied for, the applicant has reconfirmed that they only request approval for 16 persons for each restaurant. A specific condition has been included to address this issue.

Carparking

The car parking provisions, as outlined in Table 1 under the “Compliance” section, complies with the requirements of DPS2, whereas the previous approval required the applicant to further negotiate with the City regarding the potential of providing carparking within the road reserve. The current application contains all carparking within the lot boundary. The carparking demand for the site has decreased from the previous approval by two (2) bays due to the use permissibility carparking ratio being lower. Conditions are also included within the recommendation to ensure that it is clear for any future assessment as to the carparking calculation for the development.

It should be noted that the City’s Administration previously requested connections with both the adjoining shopping centre and tavern. If these requirements are not supported by those respective owners then the accessways can easily be converted to reversing areas and the site retained. The accessways were requested by the City to facilitate vehicular movements internally on-site to reduce the potential traffic movement onto the surrounding streets. To facilitate the ultimate accessways, a condition regarding an easement in gross in favour of the public at large is required to be imposed on this development. However, the success of this will largely be dependant upon the adjoining landowner(s) accepting a similar requirement if and when they redevelop in the future. Similar conditions will be imposed on the tavern and shopping centre site if and when they propose redevelopment and/or major changes. In the meantime, imposing such a requirement on the current application will not impede its development.

Setbacks

The applicant has redesigned the application to address the Council’s request for a Main Street orientation to Balgonie Avenue. The applicant has been previously advised as part of the December 2003 revised plans that the setbacks proposed comply with the principles of Main Street. Furthermore the realignment of the Lunch Bar frontage is considered to incorporate the design principles of the Safe Citizen’s Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) program. The setback relaxation to the Balgonie Avenue (primary street) is therefore supported as previously.

Statutory Compliance

The application complies with the statutory requirements of the Scheme other than the issues indicated in this report.

Strategic Implications

Consideration of this proposal 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.

Issue

To consider a proposal to contribute toward a feasibility study for an Environment Centre in the Yellagonga Regional Park.

Background

Since the early 1990s, various proposals have been prepared by government, education institutions and the community for an Environment Centre in the Yellagonga Regional Park.

The Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003-2013, prepared by the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) in liaison with the Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup, gives consideration to the development of an Environment Centre within the Regional Park. It considers two distinct strategies and locations:

1. Strategy 1 (low priority) “Prepare a land use feasibility study for development options at Lot 1 Joondalup Drive, Joondalup. The study is to consider community aspirations for the site, environmental constraints, business and operations planning as well as the required funding and resources”.

2. Strategy 2 (high priority) “Support the provision of a community environment centre as part of the redevelopment of the Luisini Winery”. This is on land to the south east of Lake Goollelal.

Detail

An environment centre is a facility that serves as a focus for local environmental information, education and action, a practical centre with displays and interactive material that can be utilised by the community, schools, individuals, (private and public sectors) and all interested stakeholders. It can also provide research and development facilities focusing on local environmental issues. The exact nature and type of any proposed environment centre at Yellagonga, would be determined as part of the feasibility study and following consultation with stakeholders regarding community needs and aspirations.

The City’s Local Environmental Strategy (2002) includes Action 48: ‘Investigate the potential for a northern suburbs environment centre in association with environmental groups’. The strategy identifies this action as being undertaken within a three to five year timeframe of the strategy being adopted. The strategy is currently in its third year of operation.

In late 2004, the Minister for the Environment announced funding for environmental projects in the northern region. This included an announcement that the Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo would receive $35,000 funding assistance to undertake a joint feasibility study to develop an environment centre in the Yellagonga Regional Park and investigate the most appropriate location for the centre.

A community information forum was held by the City of Joondalup on 20 December 2004, which included guests from the City of Wanneroo. The forum aimed to set the context in which to undertake a feasibility study. At that stage Council had not considered the matter and therefore the City wrote to the City of Joondalup thanking them for the invitation but advising them that the Council does not have an official position on the proposal and that no statements can be made that commit this Council to any course of action. Full details of the proposal were requested to enable a report to be prepared for Council’s consideration.

The information collected from the workshop was used by the City of Joondalup to develop a draft project plan. Further details of the proposal, including the draft project plan (refer Attachment 1), have recently been provided. A decision is now required by Council as to whether it will support the feasibility study, and in doing so contribute the sum of $15,000 required towards the cost of the study. It should be noted that the study will also require Administration resources to guide the conduct of the study.

A letter dated 15 April 2005 has been received by the City from Judy Hughes MLA, Member for Kingsley in regard to this matter, enquiring as to whether the City will be contributing to the feasibility study. A similar letter was received on 11 May 2005 from Giz Watson MLC, Member for the North Metropolitan Region.

Consultation

The feasibility study will need to include a high level of stakeholder consultation. The draft project plan indicates that the feasibility study will be administered by a Steering Group that will include representatives from Community Groups, CALM, as well as representatives from both the Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup.

In addition to community information forum held in December 2004, it is planned that a key project deliverable will be a community and stakeholder workshop to identify specific community needs for the proposed environment centre.

Comment

The proposal for an environment centre in Yellagonga Regional Park has been the subject of various discussions for over 10 years. The subject has been discussed in some detail by the City’s Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC). A Discussion Paper was prepared by former Cr Judy Hughes for the EAC meeting of 6 November 2002. At that stage it was noted in the minutes of the EAC meeting that although the Environment Centre was an action in the City’s Local Environmental Strategy, it was deliberately placed as a lower priority action (3-5 years) as it would require total support from the Community and Council and it was considered that there were still many higher priority actions to be undertaken before such a centre should be considered.

In deciding whether to contribute to the study, Council will need to consider the future potential resource implications for the construction and ongoing management of the centre. There are likely to be expectations, should the feasibility project proceed, that the City would continue on a partnership basis with the State and the City of Joondalup in funding/resourcing the establishment of the centre. Council should therefore make it clear that participation in the feasibility study should not be construed as a commitment to establish the centre. Such as decision would need to be considered separately in the context of the feasibility study outcomes and other funding priorities. In the event that the feasibility concludes that the most appropriate site for the centre is outside the City’s boundary, then any decision to provide funding to establish the centre would need to carefully consider the value that the centre would provide to City of Wanneroo ratepayers.

Having made these points, undertaking the feasibility study on a partnership basis with the City of Joondalup and in conjunction with the State Government grant funding will result in the completion of a feasibility project identified to be undertaken by the City under its LES at a significantly reduced cost. In the present funding climate, preference is also likely to be given to funding projects (such as the resultant establishment of the centre) where they are carried out in partnership or on a regional basis. This is indicated, for example, in the recently accredited Swan Region Strategy for Natural Resource Management produced by the Swan Catchment Council, and the associated Investment Plan, which is currently being finalised. There are therefore significant benefits to contributing to the feasibility on a partnership basis.

If Council agrees to participate in this project then this should be conditional on the draft project plan, as prepared by the City of Joondalup, being reviewed and updated to incorporate City requirements including matters such as an assessment of the incorporation of a regional herbarium, an examination of costs associated with the establishment and ongoing management of the centre as well as potential funding sources. The City should also be involved in jointly managing the conduct of the project and the expenditure of project funds.

Statutory Compliance

Strategic Implications

The proposal is consistent with the Environmental Sustainabilty Goal of the City’s Strategic Plan (2002-2005), in particular;

“Environmental Sustainability

1.4 Foster a culture of environmental awareness, ownership and action within the community and the organisation

Healthy Communities

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 communit”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Financial implications of the feasibility study include a contribution of $15,000 by the City, to be included together with the $15,000 set aside by the City of Joondalup in their 2004/2005 Capital works budget and the $35,000 grant by the State Government. The study will also require Administration resources to guide the conduct of the study.

Although this money has not been set aside in the City’s 2004/2005 budget, there are sufficient funds available within the Planning Services consultancy budget to cover the costs of the contribution.

Feasibility Study for Yellagonga Regional Park Environment Centre

2.0 Project Description

The project involves undertaking a feasibility study for the enhancement and protection of environmental and cultural values in the Yellagonga Regional Park environment. This process will involve consultation with a broad range of stakeholder groups including government agencies, community groups, individuals and an assessment of other relevant centres in the Perth metropolitan area to clarify business and operational planning requirements such as costs, potential locations, uses and responsibilities to establish the centre.

3.0 Project Background

Since the early 1990’s, various proposals have been prepared by government, education institutions and the community for an environment centre in the Yellagonga Regional Park, particularly at Lot 1, Joondalup Drive, Joondalup, located in the north east of Lake Joondalup. These include the original proposal by Landcorp in 1992, the Yellagonga Environment Centre (inc.) and the West coast college of tafe – joondalup campus.

The proposal to undertake a feasibility study to develop an Environment Centre at Lot 1, Joondalup Drive, Joondalup was presented to the City of Joondalup Council in June 2003. The proposal was not supported due to budget constraints.

During the budget deliberation process in 2004/05, Commissioners agreed to allocate $15,000 to undertake a feasibility study for Lot 1, Joondalup Drive, Joondalup.

3.1 Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003-2013

The Department of Conservation and Land Management (DCLM) has prepared a Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003-2013. The Management Plan was developed in close liaison with the Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo, the park’s Community Advisory Committee, park users and other interested members of the community and the draft Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2002-2012 was considered by Council and endorsed at its meeting held on 5 November 2002 (refer to report CJ274-11/02).

The Management Plan considers two very distinct strategies and locations that relate to the development of an Environment Centre within the Regional Park.

Strategy 1:

“Prepare a land use feasibility study for development options at Lot 1 Joondalup Drive, Joondalup. The study is to consider community aspirations for the site, environmental constraints, business and operations planning as well as the required funding and resources”. (Page 54, Strategy 34.4)

Strategy 2:

“Support the provision of a community environment centre as part of the redevelopment of the Luisini Winery”. (Page 59, Strategy 40.5)

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 3 of 9

The Management Plan recognizes that an Environment Centre can ‘serve as a focus for educational and research programs related to the Park’ and that there is ‘support for the idea of an environment centre at the site’.

3.2 Luisini Winery Proposal

The City received a proposal from the National Trust Australia (WA) to establish an environment centre as part of the redevelopment of the Luisini Winery (located in the south east of Lake Goolelal) in 2003. The land is vested in the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), however, the management of the facility is to be coordinated by the National Trust.

The proposal was not supported by the City of Joondalup due to community concerns related to parking and other related issues. The National Trust is in the process of an appeal to the WAPC on the City’s decision and the status of the appeal is yet unknown.

4.0 Rationale

This project has been initiated in response to various proposals put forward to develop an Environment Centre in the Yellagonga Regional Park, strategies identified in the Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003-2013 and receipt of State Government funds in November 2004 ($30,000) to undertake a feasibility study for a Centre for the enhancement and protection of environmental and cultural values in the Yellagonga Regional Park.

5.0 Project Objectives

The objective of this project is to undertake a feasibility study to develop a Centre for the enhancement and protection of environmental and cultural values in the Yellagonga Regional Park.

6.0 Key Project Deliverables

This project will result in a stakeholder workshop and a report that identifies the outcomes of the stakeholder consultation with details of stakeholder needs and aspirations with respect to the type of centre, what type of centre is required, what the centre would do and the most suitable location for the proposed centre.

The project will also result in the establishment of a steering group to drive this process, the recruitment of a consultant to undertake the feasibility study and a report on the various options available to establish a centre within the Yellagonga Regional Park.

7.1 Project Leader

The Project Leader will be the Team Leader, Sustainable Development. The Project Leader’s role will be to coordinate the community workshop, establish and administrate the steering group meetings, engage a consultant, provide advice/guidance and to ensure the project objectives are achieved as planned.

8.0 Project Risk Assessment

The following project risks were identified:

8.1 Ethical:

· Conflict of interest in Stakeholder groups;

· Inadequate representation of various community groups;

· Potential conflict of cultural sensitivities with the Nyoongar people;

· Potential conflict with pending outcome of National Trust appeal related to the redevelopment of Luisini winery; and

· Potential to raise community expectations without secured funding or commitment for the establishment of a centre.

8.2 Physical:

· The establishment of a centre will require dedicated officer resources to coordinate and undertake project activities;

· Project resources both physical and financial are unknown pending feasibility study;

· Preferred site location is yet unknown and has the potential to raise other unknown issues such as excising land for the centre; and

· Potential conflict for the preferred location of the centre to be located in the City of Joondalup or City of Wanneroo (ie land owned by City of Wanneroo, City of Joondalup, the Department of Conservation and Land Management or other vested bodies).

8.3 Project Management risks

· Future maintenance costs and management issues;

· Effective project management is crucial to the success of this project. The project leader will have multiple responsibilities that may impinge on the effectiveness of the project. This aspect will need to monitored closely and if time conflicts arise then assistance may be required; and

· The project will require a strong partnership approach and good coordination across the Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo, the Department of Conservation and Land Management and interest groups in terms of its management.

8.4 Project Funding Risks

· Potential for external grant assistance unknown and pending feasibility study;

· Stakeholder financial contributions is unknown;

· Sponsorship opportunities unknown and need to be identified; and

13.0 Consultation

It is imperative to consult with all relevant stakeholders to identify community needs and aspirations with respect to the type of centre, what type of centre is required, what the centre would do and finally the most suitable location for the proposed centre. It is also imperative to consult with existing environment centres to benefit and learn from their experiences.

The Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo jointly hosted a community information forum on 20 December 2004. The information session in December 2004 aimed to set the context in which to undertake a feasibility study, including implications of the Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003 – 2013, history of proposed environment centres in the Park and other key environmental centres in the Metropolitan Region.

The information session will be followed up with a visioning workshop to identify specific needs for the establishment of an environment centre.

The information collected at the visioning workshop would then be followed up with the establishment of a steering group to drive this process and provide guidance to the consultant undertaking the feasibility study.

The Project leader will facilitate consultative processes utilising e-mail, mail and workshops and meetings to ensure all stakeholders are fully informed and granted full opportunity to offer input to the process.

The City’s marketing, customer service and library resources will be utilised to assist in stakeholder consultation.

14 Budget

The feasibility study will be undertaken utilizing the full $35,000 granted from State Government. This amount will cover full expenditures related to the feasibility study, however there will be additional officer time costs involved in this project. The City of Joondalup has set aside $15,000 in its 2004-5 budget.

Administration recommends that the tender sum of $496,559.34 submitted by Palace Homes & Construction Pty Ltd for the construction of clubroom facilities at Ridgewood Park, Lot 14433 Ridgewood Boulevard, Ridgewood be accepted.

Council is requested to consider the additional funding for the construction of clubroom facilities be reallocated from Project No: 815017 ‘Wanneroo Showground Floodlighting Upgrade’.

This project was completed on 5 May 2005 with savings to the municipal component of the project budget of $41,010. As a consequence a sum of $17,250 is proposed for transfer to the clubroom facility project.

The City received a CSRFF grant of $125,000 in 2004/2005 towards Stage 1 of the Ridgewood Park Clubrooms Facility. Advice dated 24 May 2005 from the Department of Sport and Recreation is that deferral of the grant into 2005/2006 is likely to be approved, subject to Council committing to the project, a construction contract is signed prior to 30 June 2005 and all claims to be finalised by 16 December 2005. Acceptance by Council of Tender No 05508 on the 7 June 2005 will enable the contract documentation to be finalised by 30 June 2005 and works completed before the end of November 2005.

Issue

To consider the adoption of the three year City of Wanneroo Waste Services Operations Employees Enterprise Bargaining Agreement 2005 (Agreement).

Background

The current City of Wanneroo Waste Services Certified Agreement 2002, which is applicable to Waste Services truck drivers, expired on 22 February 2005. The City has been negotiating a new Agreement with staff representatives, the Australian Municipal Administrative Clerical and Services Union (ASU) and the Western Australian Shire Councils, Municipal Roads Boards, Health Boards, Parks Cemeteries and Race Courses, Public Authorities, Water Boards Union (LGRCEU) since August 2004. The final document was the result of all parties reaching consensus on 24 May 2005.

Detail

Copies of the Agreement have been provided separately to Elected Members. The Agreement covers 63 Waste Services employees working for the City of Wanneroo, as well as future employees taken on during the life of the Agreement.

The Agreement is broadly based on the existing agreement, with outcomes from the management and staff negotiating committee being included. The essential elements of the negotiations are outlined hereunder:-

Clause 4 – Wage Model

Upon registration of the Agreement by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission the rates of pay will increase by 8.7% to those given in Appendix 1. It has been agreed that the new rates will be operative from the first pay period on or after 7 April 2005 and further annual adjustments of CPI or 3% (whichever is greater) will occur on the respective anniversaries of that date (i.e. 7 April 2006 and 7 April 2007). The amount of the pay rise was based on market rates in Perth for drivers collecting domestic rubbish bins. This was determined to be $19.30 per hour.

Clauses 9.2 – Personal Leave, Clause 9.5 – Purchase of Leave, Clause 10 – Superannuation

These clauses were updated to match those in the Staff Certified Agreement.

Clause 11.2 – Domestic Drivers Bin Round Sizing

This clause has been added to address issues in relation to the number of domestic rubbish carts that a driver is required to collect in a day. Due to the ongoing growth of the city, the number of carts to be collected in a particular round can increase quite rapidly. A collection round will be reviewed when the regular driver requires assistance to complete the round for 2 consecutive weeks due to the number of bins collected.

Comment

From Management’s perspective the main benefits of this agreement are:-

· The re-establishment of the majority of existing work arrangements and conditions provides a sense of stability amongst the workforce, maintains good morale levels and should ensure that healthy productivity levels are sustained.

· Establishment of an agreed process to handle the issue of adjusting domestic rubbish collection rounds.

Some of the significant benefits to employees will be:-

· Following the certification of this Agreement by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, the parties agree to a 8.7% pay increase which will come into effect from the first pay period following 7 April 2005 with 3% or CPI increase in 2006 and 2007 operative from the same date in that year.

· Provision to purchase additional leave to assist with balancing family and work commitments.

Statutory Compliance

Council approval and subsequent registration of the Agreement by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission is in accordance with the Workplace Relations Act 1996, Division 3.

Strategic Implications

The adoption of the City of Wanneroo Waste Services Operations Employees Enterprise Bargaining Agreement 2005, is in accordance with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2002-2005) goals and strategies by maximising resource productivity:-

Corporate Management and Development

4.2 Create harmony and unity through open communication, participation and ownership.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The 8.7% pay rise, effective from 7 April 2005, represents an increase in the City’s annual payroll cost of approximately $193,000 which has been allowed for in the draft 2005/2006 Waste Services Operating budget. The cost for the remainder of 2004/2005 based on an effective date of 7 April 2005 would be approximately $48,250. The 2004/2005 Budget allowed $70,000 to cover the cost of any increase arising from the new Waste Services Operations Employees Enterprise Bargaining Agreement.

Issue

To consider the outcome of public consultation regarding the installation of a barbeque at Charnwood Reserve, Two Rocks.

Background

The installation of a new barbeque at Charnwood Reserve was approved in the 2004/05 Parks Capital Works Budget as Project Number 825538 with a $12,333 budget funding allocation. Questionnaires were sent out to residents adjoining the park and also made available at local community centres. A preferred location within Charnwood Reserve was identified, however it was also noted that the Two Rocks Residents Association identified that Leemans Landing was its preferred location. Therefore all respondents were contacted again regarding the options of either placing the barbeque at the preferred location in Charnwood Reserve or Leemans Landing.

The results of the second round of public consultation with the original respondents is shown below. Of these seven responses, two were from community groups:

Proposed Barbeque Location	Responses
Charnwood Park	0
Leemans Landing	7

As an outcome of this community consultation process, Leemans Landing was identified as the preferred location for the new barbeque.

Leemans Landing currently provides a number of recreational opportunities through the provision of an active area for the Two Rocks Yanchep Residents Association, Two Rocks Tight Liners Fishing Club, local residents and tourists visiting the area. The area is regularly used for fishing, picnics, tourists and recreational walkers.

Detail

The draft Yanchep/Two Rocks Foreshore Management Plan identifies Leemans Landing as an area to be upgraded and therefore installation of a barbeque and upgrade of facilities would need to be integrated into the long term management plan for the site. Any new development in the foreshore reserve must be submitted for Development Approval before any work proceeds.

The upgrade of Leemans Landing visitor facilities could be scoped to include the installation of a twin plate barbeque, colour bond shelter with seating, security lighting and electrical upgrades without compromising the long term Two Rocks Foreshore Management Plan for the area. This management plan specifically identifies the following planned development characteristics for the Leemans Landing site in the long term:

· Development of the recreational area incorporating showers, barbeques, etc.

· Enlarging the car park to meet future demands.

· Upgrading the existing toilet.

· Converting the drainage sump into a swale incorporating a public open space.

Comment

It is acknowledged that there is little community support for a barbeque facility at Charnwood Reserve in comparison with the proposed location at Leemans Landing.

The placement of the barbeque at Leemans Landing would be more beneficial to the local community and together with the planned associated facilities at Leemans Landing, is considered a suitable use of this historic site that already features facilities such as parking, toilets and access to the beach.

An amount of $20,000 has therefore been included in the Draft 2005/2006 Park Capital Works Budget to install a barbeque and a grassed area at Leemans Landing.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The installation of barbeque at Leemans Landing is aligned with the following strategic objectives.

“Healthy Communities

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, and

2.7 Provide community focussed services and lifestyle opportunities.”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Funding for the Leemans Landing Barbeque facility proposal is reliant on Council approval of funds in the 2005/06 Parks Capital Works Budget for that purpose. Project Number 825577 exists as an 04/05 unspent $12,333 budget provision for barbeques at Charnwood Park as a result of this project not proceeding.

Issue

To consider the Preliminary Design outcome arising from Contract 04355 for the provision of design/construction consultancy services for the Kingsway Sporting Complex Infrastructure Redevelopment Project (the Project).

Background

Council adopted a Master Plan for the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex (the Complex) at its meeting held on 14 October 2003 (Report CD03-10/03 refers). The Master Plan established guidelines for the future infrastructure redevelopment and upgrading of the Complex on a staged basis over eight years, with a total estimated cost in the order of $12 million, excluding consulting fees and contingency effective as at July 2003, with an all up cost of $14.35 million quoted.

A location plan identifying the site is attached – refer Attachment 1.

To implement this staged program, Administration sought tenders for the engagement of specialist design and contract administration consultancy services (the Design & Construction Supervision/Administration Contract). In review of tenders received Council, at its meeting on 27 April 2004 awarded the tender to GHD Pty Ltd (GHD), a national engineering consultancy company (Report TS10-04/04 refers – Contract No. 04355)

It is noted that the design of the building components of the Master Plan was excluded from the Design & Construction Supervision/Administration Contract, with each building project arising from the Master Plan to be actioned through the City’s usual budget process on its own merits. In this regard the Design & Construction Supervision/Administration Contract requires GHD to allow for the provision of building footprints only to ensure each site is fully serviced, that is, provision of appropriate access, water supply, sewer, power, etc. The total estimated cost of building related works is in the order of $3 million (July 2003), which in turn left a total estimated cost in the order of $9 million (July 2003) in infrastructure redevelopment and upgrading related works that GHD are responsible for through its Design & Construction Supervision/Administration Contract with the City. Allowing for a percentage split of Consultancy Fees and Contingency between building and infrastructure redevelopment components of the Project these figures then equate to $3.54 million (July 2003) and $10.61 million (July 2003) respectively.

To ensure independent review of costs estimated throughout the term of GHD’s Contract with the City a tender for the provision of independent quantity surveying consultancy services (the QS Contract) was sought. Council, at its meeting held on 10 August 2004 awarded the tender to WT Partnership Australia Pty Ltd (WT Partnership), the Australian subsidiary of an international quantity surveying consultancy company (Report TS02-08/04 refers – Contract No. 04381).

The Design & Construction Supervision/Administration Contract requires GHD to undertake as Stage 1 of their engagement Project Initiation and Preliminary Design for a lump sum price of $214,687. Thereafter, and subject to Council approval in the first instance, the Design & Construction Supervision/Administration Contract allows for ongoing “staged” detailed design, tender documentation and contract administration of an estimated $10.61 million (July 2003) of work associated with infrastructure redevelopment and upgrading at the Complex (ie: identified as Stages 2 through 9). All up it was estimated that the long–term financial commitment by the City in relation to the provision of consultancy services over the term of the Design & Construction Supervision/Administration Contract would be $772,767 (ie: inclusive of the initial lump sum price).

Similarly, the QS Contract requires WT Partnership to undertake a review of all GHD documentation arising out of Stage 1 for a lump sum price of $11,925, with the estimated long–term financial commitment by the City in relation to the provision of consultancy services over the term of the QS Contract to be $132,725 (ie: inclusive of the initial lump sum price).

In support of the Project, a Technical Review Group was established that has responsibility for the management of the Project and to ensure appropriate liaison is actioned to confirm the City’s requirements, expenditure, etc., and to undertaken review and monitor delivery of the Project. The Group comprises of the following personnel:

· Director Technical Services

· Manager Infrastructure Services (the City’s appointed representative)

· Manager Operations

· Manager Leisure & Library Services

· Manager Development & Health Services

· Manager Contracts & Property

· GHD Representative

· WT Partnership Representative

WT Partnership has subsequently reviewed the 31 March 2005 documentation presented by GHD, noting an error in quantity take off relating to proposed netball court surfacing. As a result the preliminary design estimates have been amended to reflect a shortfall of approximately $250,000. WT Partnership has subsequently verified all associated cost estimates and GHD has provided an update to Section 9 of the report supporting the Preliminary Design documentation.

Both GHD and WT Partnership, in presenting the Preliminary Design/Costing documentation for the Project, have now completed Stage 1 of their contractual commitments with the City.

A copy of the Preliminary Design documentation as prepared by GHD, inclusive of updates, has been made available in the Elected Members Reading Room for more detailed perusal.

This report presents a summary of the documentation presented by GHD, follows up on the presentation made to Council at the Council Forum held on 3 May 2005 and seeks Council’s consideration/direction with regard to the implementation of the works proposed.

Detail

Council has through tender award committed to the preparation of Preliminary Design documentation and associated cost estimates for the redevelopment of the Complex to ensure infrastructure viability for the future of all user of the various facilities currently and proposed to be offered. The Complex currently hosts a number of user groups including cricket, hockey, netball, Air Training Corp, soccer, rugby, football and baseball. In association with the proposed redevelopment it is proposed to incorporate a higher level of passive use within the Complex, particularly given the recent land subdivisional development activity that the area surrounding the Complex has experienced over recent years.

A site plan showing the location of the main sporting activities and associated supporting facilities (in some instances “proposed” facilities) is attached – refer Attachment 2.

On reviewing the Master Plan and subsequently assessing the requirements of the Preliminary Design, GHD in liaison with the Technical Review Group concluded that the scope of work arising out of the review is best described as follows:

· Provision of a new irrigation system with new mainlines, infield irrigation, irrigation pumpstation, controllers and irrigation storage lakes fed from existing bores, with the lakes to be developed to support proposed passive use of the Complex;

· Extension of existing and provision of new car parking facilities;

· Renovation of existing and provision of new top quality sports turf pitches;

· Upgrade of the existing electrical supply to the site, with new sports floodlighting, street lighting, car park lighting and footpath lighting where required within the Complex to meet relevant Australian Standards;

· Provision of a Recreational Path Network to encourage local members of the public not involved in the existing user groups to use the complex; and,

· Development of passive recreational areas, with picnic and children’s playground facilities provided to support cross-functional use of all the various facilities within the Complex.

A detailed scope of work in reflection of the items noted above is attached – refer Attachment 3.

The original scope of works as described in the Master Plan involved a nine-stage program of works to be implemented over a period of nine financial years and as a result of the review, was reassessed and packaged as a six staged program of works (ie: includes development of the Preliminary Design during 2004/2005) for implementation over a period of seven financial years. Costs associated with the final defect liability period will extend beyond the financial year within which the last stage of development is to be completed, however it is noted that these costs are of minimal value in comparison to the previous financial years.

The adjustment in staging primarily resulted from assessing economies of scale and associated impact on the users of the Complex. It was also noted that in the Master Plan staging scenario costs promoted for Stages, 7, 8 and 9 were of a reduced value compared to previous stages and it was considered more prudent that more streamlined cashflow also be considered when developing the Preliminary Design staging scenario.

The estimate of probable costs developed by GHD and verified by WT Partnership during Preliminary Design have been based on construction costs in effect as at December 2004. In this regard since Council approved the Master Plan, the Building Cost Index for Perth has increased in comparison to the total estimated cost originally quoted. Therefore in order to compare the Master Plan Estimate of Costs as at July 2003 with the Preliminary Design Estimate of Probable Cost as at December 2004, the Master Plan costs need to be adjusted to reflect escalation of 18.0% during this period - this data was obtained from the Department of Housing and Works Public Works Strategy Building Cost Index for Perth.

The Master Plan staged development and associated upgrade of total estimated costs as a result of escalation is tabled as follows:

Master Plan

Stage	Description	Estimate of Costs Jul 2003	Estimate of Costs Dec 2004⁽¹⁾
1	Preliminary Design and associated costs⁽²⁾	NA	NA
2	Earthworks for Rugby & Soccer Pitches Completion of the Central Carpark and associated Road Network Extension of the Cricket Carpark Irrigation Infrastructure compromising upgrade of bore pressure mains, lakes, pumps, reticulation mains and associated controls Landscaping around the lakes and associated public amenities, playgrounds, etc Phase 1 (of 2) construction of the Dual-Use Path Network Resurfacing of 12 Netball Courts	$2,800,000	$3,304,000
3	Removal of east/west road dividing the soccer pitches Construction of a Carpark located to the north of the Badminton/Netball facilities Phase 2 construction of the Dual-Use Path Network Resurfacing of 12 Netball Courts	$1,600,000	$1,888,000

Consultancy Fees, Contingency, etc		$1,610,000	$1,899,800
MASTER PLAN GRAND TOTAL		$10.61m	$12.52m

NOTES:

(1) Reassessed Master Plan Estimates of Costs based on a BCI of 18.0% increase over the period Jul 2003 to Dec 2004.

(2) Stage 1 consultancy costs were not identified separately as part of the Master Plan, rather included as part of the lump sum Consultancy Fee

In reviewing the GHD Preliminary Design Report it is noted that the costs quoted did not address costs associated with the WT Partnership Contract, nor did they allow for City Administration Charges (tender advertisement, newsletter distribution, etc), Technical Services Directorate Project Management Fees and costs associated with Community Development sporting group liaison as a result of construction activities/sports ground availability.

The WT Partnership fees have been calculated based on the fees percentage against actual value of work on a per stage basis as per the fees percentages quoted in Contract 04381. An allowance of $75,000 per financial year for the term of the Project (with the exception of the final financial year) has been allowed to cover City related expenses. As a consequence the estimate of probable cost for the six staged/seven financial year scenario, based on December 2004 costs as presented by GHD has been modified accordingly. Refer Attachment 4 for a breakdown of the revised figures.

In developing the Preliminary Design it is also noted that GHD and WT Partnership worked in close liaison with the Technical Review Group through monthly meetings and associated drawing reviews.

The Badminton/Netball Carpark design and staged construction has subsequent to the adoption of the Master Plan been excised out of the Preliminary Design package (Reports TS02-08/04 & TS11-04/05 refers). As a consequence an estimate of probable cost of $725,020 has been separately actioned and excluded from further consideration in the Preliminary Design. Similarly, the extension of Bellerive Boulevard from south of Edgbaston Drive to the intersection of the southern east-west internal road was also excised on the basis that the future construction would be linked with the further development of the Kingsway Shopping Centre to the west. The cost of this extension has been estimated at $201,000.

As a consequence of the review the Preliminary Design staged development estimate of probable cost excluding the Badminton/Netball Carpark and the Bellerive Boulevard Extension, are summarised in the following table:

Preliminary Design (6 Staged Program over 7 Financial Years)

Stage	Description	Estimate of Probable Cost Dec 2004⁽¹⁾
1	Preliminary Design and associated costs ⁽²⁾	$296,300
2A	Bore Water Supply & Irrigation Mainline Reticulation, Irrigation Pump Station & Control System, Electrical Transformer, Operations Building, Lakes (ie: Irrigation Storage Basins), Undergrounding of Main Electricity Supply from Kingsway and associated Distribution Cabling, Entrances Landscaping and Signage, Lakes Landscaping, Sewer Reticulation	$2,493,751
2B	…completion of works described in Stage 2A	$2,378,775
3	Cricket & Football Carparks, Football/Little Athletics and Cricket/Hockey Pitches inclusive of Earthworks, Irrigation Renewal and Flood Lighting as applicable, Internal Roadworks, Parallel Parking, Streetlighting	$2,395,404
4	Soccer (Main, Senior 2 & Senior 3), Rugby (Main and Rugby 2) Soccer & Rugby Training Pitches inclusive of Earthworks, Irrigation Renewal and Flood Lighting as applicable, Main Soccer Carpark, Demolishment of the Internal Road through Soccer/Rugby Area	$2,559,624
5	Demolishment of the Wanneroo Soccer Clubroom/Changerooms, Southern Soccer Carpark, Southern Soccer Pitches (Senior & Junior) inclusive of Earthworks, Irrigation Renewal and Flood Lighting as applicable, Recreation Path Network to 75% of the Complex, Air Training Corps Building Platform/Hardstand	$2,267,523
6	Baseball (Main, Senior 2, Senior 3 & Junior) Pitches	$2,775,992
Final Defects Liability Consultancy Fees		$4,101
PRELIMINARY DESIGN GRAND TOTAL		$15.17m

NOTES:

(1) The accuracy of the estimated costs listed with the exception of Stage 1 costs is not expected to be better than approximately 15%, with detailed design required to clearly identify construction estimates

(2) Includes City costs associated with the preparation of tender documentation, Project Management Fees, etc., and the total consultancy cost (inclusive of variations issued) associated with the development of the Preliminary Design and is accurate as at March 2005

It is noted that in both the Master Plan and Preliminary Design tables of estimate of costs the figures quoted include design and construction supervision/administration cost percentages. In regard to the estimate of costs associated with Design/Construction fees as established in the GHD and WT Partnership Contracts with the City (Contract Nos: 04355 and 04381 respectively) have been calculated based on the fee percentage applicable to the value of work on a stage by stage basis and included in the totals listed.

The Master Plan/Preliminary Design comparison for the six staged program over seven financial years is summarised as follows:

Master Plan Total Estimate of Costs (July 2003) $10.61m

Master Plan increase due to escalation $1.91m

REVISED Master Plan Total Estimate of Costs (December 2004) $12.52m

Preliminary Design Total Estimate of Probable Cost (December 2004) $15.17m

….plus the following scope of work originally allowed for in the

Master Plan, however deleted from the Preliminary Design

· Badminton/Netball Carpark (Report TS??-04/05 refers) $725,020

· Bellerive Boulevard Extension $201,000

REVISED Preliminary Design Estimate of Probable Cost (December 2004) $16.10m

In making the comparison the Preliminary Design total estimate of costs as revised has increased over the Master Plan total estimate of costs as revised by $3.58m (December 2004). In reviewing the detail of the Preliminary Design three areas of scope of work have been identified that have directly contributed to approximately 85% of the increase in cost, they being:

· Lake Construction and associated Pump, Control System and Reticulation underestimated in the Master Plan

· Extent of earthworks more clearly defined during Preliminary Design and as a consequence cut/fill balances have been more accurately estimated

· Electricity supply – the need to upgrade the existing transformer in combination with the decision to relocate the transformer to the new Operations Building and underground the incoming supply from Kingsway

In considering the above it is advised that the success of the redevelopment work to be undertaken at the Complex is underpinned by the above three components of the Project and therefore should not be reduced in scope in order to reduce the financial impact of the Project

Some $500,000 in funding (includes costs expended during 2004/2005) has also been allocated to cover City of Wanneroo related expenses during the project construction period. This amount was not included as art of the original cost associated with the development of the Master Plan.

It has also been identified by GHD in the Preliminary Design Report that on review of the Department of Housing and Works Building Cost Index data provided for Perth, the current indication through to 2009 is for costs to increase by 10% per annum. For the purposes of the Preliminary Design it has been assumed that this cost increase will continue at the same rate beyond that date. Given the rather rapidly increasing trend in cost escalation since 2002/2003 after some 10 years of relatively minor increases of 1 to 2% per year it was considered prudent to also have GHD prepare a staging plan that would maximise economies of scale and minimise construction timeframes while still allowing appropriately managed use of the existing facilities provided at the Complex (will require relocation of some uses within the Complex to alternative venues on a temporary basis).

In responding to this request, a four-stage program of works (ie: includes development of the Preliminary Design during 2004/2005) for implementation over a period of four financial years has been presented for consideration. Costs associated with the final defect liability period will extend beyond the financial year within which the last stage of development is to be completed (ie: as per the six staged/seven financial year program of works), however it is noted that these costs are of minimal value in comparison to the previous financial years.

In this instance the Preliminary Design staged development estimate of probable cost excluding the Badminton/Netball Carpark and the Bellerive Boulevard Extension are summarised in the following table:

Preliminary Design (4 Staged Program over 4 Financial Years)

Stage	Description	Estimate of Probable Cost - Dec 2004⁽¹⁾
1	Preliminary Design and associated costs ⁽²⁾	$296,300
2	Scope of work as described in Stages 2A & 2B of the 6 Staged Program over 7 Financial Years	$4,839,142
3	Scope of work as described in Stages 3 & 4 of the 6 Staged Program over 7 Financial Years	$4,784,398
4	Scope of work as described in Stages 5 & 6 of the 6 Staged Program over 7 Financial Years	$4,914,813
Final Defects Liability Consultancy Fees		$6,497
PRELIMINARY DESIGN GRAND TOTAL		$14.84m

NOTES:

Refer to Attachment 5 for a breakdown of the revised figures.

The Master Plan/Preliminary Design comparison for the four staged/four financial year scenario in effect saves $330,000 (December 2004) in direct capital over the six staged/seven financial year scenario as reassessed following completion of the Preliminary Design.

In considering both scenarios the estimate of probable cost in relation to cost escalation as presented by GHD has also been modified to cover both WT Partnership fees and City related expenses. Refer to Attachment 6 for a breakdown of the revised figures.

In review of the impact of projected Building Cost Index of 10% over the term of both scenarios the overall cost impact is summarised in the following table:

Stage (S) and Year (Y)⁽¹⁾	6 Staged Program/7 Financial Years			4 Staged Program/4 Financial Years

NOTES:

(1) For the purposes of this presentation Year 1 (Y1) is taken as the 2004/2005 Financial Year

As can be seen from the above table a total saving in cost escalation of $3.14m can be made if the four stage/four financial year scenario is chosen over the six stage/seven financial year scenario. This then questions whether loan monies should be considered to advance the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex Infrastructure Redevelopment Project.

A Risk Management Workshop was held on 17 August 2004 to provide a forum for discussing potential risks resulting from and possibly affecting the proposed works associated with the redevelopment of the Complex. The highest priority risks identified were attributed to the Economic and External Stakeholder Risks categories. However, a number of priority technical risks were also identified and are listed as follows:

· Lake safety

· Unidentified service conflicts

· Environmental Risk associated with clearance of vegetation

· Project scope changes through the course of the redevelopment works

· The effects of variable water quality - particularly iron and nitrates within the abstracted groundwater

A Risk Management Plan has been developed with the various matters raised will be managed through the future design/construction process linked to each stage of redevelopment.

Comment

The Preliminary Design stage of the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex Redevelopment Project has identified a clear scope of work for the six staged/seven financial year scenario equating to an estimate of probable cost totalling $15.17m (December 2004) excluding the Badminton/Netball Carpark and the Bellerive Boulevard Extension. Alternatively, $14.84m (December 2004) for a four staged/four financial year scenario.

At this particular stage of the Project there has been no consideration given to external grant funding sources. In the first instance it is recommended that a detailed briefing be provided to the State Government in order to attract funding in the form of a State Government contribution and project direct submissions from the Community Sport and Recreation Facilities Fund. Administration has already held some informal briefing sessions with staff from the State Government Department of Sport and Recreation to keep them informed of the various infrastructure projects being considered by the City.

The level of funding from user group clubs is yet to be determined. However, it would be expected that they would contribute to any building projects that are promoted (outside of the scope of work covered by the Preliminary Design and will need to be promoted for future Capital Works funding consideration based on each project’s own merits), the cost of applying synthetic surfaces to the netball courts, any fencing required to secure exclusive access to sports pitches for the purpose of charging entry fees and the provision of floodlighting beyond training standard.

The cost to temporarily relocate various clubs to other grounds during the construction process has not yet been determined. It is not practical to determine these costs until the extent of the design/construction/turf recovery implications are known for the various sports pitches, in particular, timing to allow relocation timeframes to be determined. On clarifying these currently unknown parameters discussions will then need to be held with the clubs affected, with agreed actions arising out of these discussions then able to be costed.

At this time, the immediate impact on the Project from a risk perspective is primarily attributable to “economic” factors – in essence the Council’s ability to fund the works via a six staged/seven financial year or four staged/four financial year scenario that attracts a cost escalation penalty of $5.83m and $2.92m respectively. If the four staged/four financial year scenario is chosen as the preferred approach then a combined direct capital cost and cost escalation saving of some $2.91m can be made.

In considering the funding sources and which scenario to follow, Council will need to consider the following impacts as part of its decision making process:

· Time to complete/impact on the various sporting organisations using the complex

· Economies of scale in relation to construction activities, in particular earthworks

· Commitment to complete the Project as a whole

Should Council choose to adopt the four staged/four financial year scenario then an option for further consideration in addition to seeking State grant funding, user group clubs, etc., would be to raise funds by way of a loan.

Statutory Compliance

Application for Development Approval for the site as a whole is still to be sought for the Project and should not be actioned unless there is a funding commitment made. This will also instigate the need to action relevant procedures for securing a Clearing Permit as well.

Strategic Implications

The provision of consultancy services for the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex Infrastructure Redevelopment Project is congruent to the City’s Strategic Plan (2002-2005) and the following goals and strategy:

“Healthy Communities

2.6 Provide and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of our community.

2.7Provide community focused services and lifestyle opportunity.”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

In lieu of a decision regarding whether to fast track the Project by adopting the four staged/four financial year scenario Administration have presented the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex Redevelopment Project in the City’s Capital Works Program on the basis of the six staged/seven financial year scenario. The first stage in this instance being the development of the preliminary design for which funding has been approved as part of the 2004/2005 Capital Works Budget. The draft 2005/2006 Capital Works Budget, shortly to be considered by Council as part of the 2005/2006 Budget process, allows for consideration of $2.74m in funding for the second stage of redevelopment works, ie Stage 2A of the six staged/seven financial year scenario. The assumption in this instance is once funding is committed by Council that funding for subsequent stages would need to follow in order to compete the redevelopment works given the fact that Stages 2A and 2B form the skeleton of the infrastructure refurbishment that needs to be implemented before any upgrading works can be undertaken on the various sports pitches within the Complex. In essence, a $5.62m investment over two financial years will be required up front before any subsequent budget commitments provides a return on investment.

In addressing funding associated with the Project, whether it be six staged/seven financial year or four staged/four financial year scenario, Council will need to assess the impact on other Capital Works for which funding is being sought. Furthermore, alternative funding sources other than cash reserves will need to be sought. Options for consideration include, but are not necessarily limited to:

External grant funding sources (State Government in particular given the regional context of the Complex)
Complex user group club funding
External funding by way of a loan
Private sponsorship

On the basis of the six staged/seven year scenario as promoted by Administration in the City’s Capital Works Program a total commitment of $21.43m to undertake infrastructure redevelopment works at the Complex will result. This commitment allows for cost escalation of 10% per annum based on a probable cost estimate of $15.17m (December 2004) as determined by GHD and reviewed by WT Partnership.

Preliminary Design Detailed Scope of Work

The following summary of the scope of work forms the basis of the Preliminary Design and associated costs developed by GHD Pty Ltd (Design Consultant), with cost verification provided by WT Partnership Australia Pty Ltd (Quantity Surveyor Consultant), in documentation presented to the City undercover of a report entitled; “City of Wanneroo – Kingsway Sporting Complex Redevelopment Project Preliminary Design Report, March 2005”.

Infrastructure Provision

General Civil - Two lakes will be constructed in the centre of the complex to provide storage for a new irrigation system. The lakes will be lined and protected with a sand layer. The edges to the lakes will be a mixture of formal stone blocks and informal planting. Stormwater drainage from new car parks and hard landscaping will use a combination of infiltration trenches and landscaped swales.

General Electrical - New car park lighting and street lighting will be provided to meet the relevant Australian Standards. The existing Western Power transformer will be relocated and upgraded to provide sufficient power for existing and proposed requirements. The existing Western Power overhead power line that runs along the Kingsway entrance to the Complex will be upgraded and undergrounded as required.

Traffic - The existing road layout will be maintained with some minor modifications including roundabouts to large car parks and speed humps for traffic calming. Existing car parks will generally be maintained and extended where appropriate with the exception of the proposed relocation of the car park serving the existing Wanneroo Soccer facility as a result of earthworks necessary for sports pitch redevelopment. Extensions to existing car parks along with provision of formalised parallel parking to internal roads will be provided to increase the capacity at the Complex.

Sports Pitches - The key issues identified during preliminary investigation and design included a concentrated layer of organic matter within the root zone, the presence of microscopic organisms called nematodes and nutrient deficiency. The sports pitches will be upgraded to the required standard by a combination of renovation, rejuvenation and reconstruction.

· Renovation – involves activities such as scarifying, verti-mowing, decompaction, coring and top dressing. The aim is by introducing a proactive maintenance regime; the quality of the turf will improve to an acceptable standard for high use sports fields. This treatment will cause minimal disruption to the playing surface allowing normal activities to continue.

· Rejuvenation – involves the removal of the top 20mm, coring and top dressing. This treatment will cause significant disruption to the surface and will take a minimum of three months for the turf to regenerate. The treatment has been proposed for the Wanneroo Soccer, Olympic Soccer and football pitches.

ATTACHMENT 3

Page 2 of 4

· Reconstruction – involves the reconstruction of the complete root zone and establishment of a new turf surface by either roll on turf (3-6 month establishment) or stolonisation (12 months minimum establishment) . This treatment has been proposed for the Olympic Soccer, Main Rugby and all new pitches.

Landscaping - A combination of hard and soft landscaping will be provided in the high use passive areas, in particular at the main entry to the Complex off Hepburn Avenue and around the irrigation storage lakes.

Irrigation - A review of the existing irrigation systems clearly identifies it as old, inefficient and in a number of areas inadequate. As a consequence the existing system requires complete replacement. The proposed system will use four of the existing five bores to fill two irrigation storage lakes located in the centre of the Complex. A new irrigation pumping station will pump water from the lakes through a new mainline system to service new infield irrigation. A centrally located Master Controller will control the system, with the system set up to allow water to be prioritised during hot periods. This will enable the main sports pitches to be maintained at a good quality.

Facilities Provision

Hockey/Cricket – The new layout will allow for two cricket pitches and five hockey pitches. The existing sports pitch levels are considered adequate for the new layout and as a consequence there will be no need to undertake earthworks. Works proposed in this area include:

· Extension of the existing car park to allow parking for 50 cars. Access from Bellerive Boulevard will be removed and a new access constructed off the adjacent internal road.

· Installation of a new gravity sewer connection into the Water Corporation sewer system at Bellerive Boulevard.

· Renovation of the turf for this area given investigations have shown that drainage is severely restricted due to the high concentration of fine organic matter in the surface of the root zone.

· Installation of new infield irrigation given the existing infield irrigation has been assessed as poor and does not allow for targeting water to the new sports pitch layout.

· Installation of new lighting to the extended car park - it is noted that the existing sports pitch lighting will be retained.

Soccer/Rugby North - The new layout will allow for three full size football pitches, two dedicated training areas and two full size rugby pitches. Works proposed in this area include:

· Extension of the existing car park at Olympic Soccer to allow parking for 477 cars

· Installation of a new gravity sewer connection servicing the proposed public toilets and the existing soccer clubrooms through to the Water Corporation sewer system at Bellerive Boulevard.

· Installation of a new gravity sewer connection servicing the rugby clubrooms through to the football clubrooms, which is ultimately serviced by the Water Corporation sewer system at Skeit Road.

ATTACHMENT 3

Page 3 of 4

· Significant earthworks to re-contour the land to allow for the new layout with cut and fill quantities balanced out within this area. As a consequence Main Soccer, Main Rugby, Rugby 2 and Soccer 3 will be reconstructed, with the two training areas and Soccer 2 to have turf rejuvenation treatment.

· Installation of new infield irrigation given the existing infield irrigation has been assessed as poor and does not allow for targeting water to the new sports pitch layout.

· Installation of new floodlighting to all pitches and training areas.

Soccer/Rugby South - The new layout will allow for four junior soccer pitches or two senior soccer pitches on the lower tiers and two pitches that could be used for either soccer or rugby on the top tier. Works proposed in this area include:

· Relocation of the existing car park at Wanneroo Soccer to allow for a new pitch, with a new car park to accommodate up to 125 cars to be constructed immediately to the east of the existing car park

· Demolishment of the existing Wanneroo Soccer clubroom/change rooms.

· Minor earthworks to accommodate new pitch orientations on the lower tiers.

· Significant earthworks associated with the demolishment of the Wanneroo Soccer clubroom/change rooms and associated car park to allow for a new pitch on the top tier.

· Reconstruction of the junior pitches at the lowest level and the eastern most rugby/soccer pitch, with the remaining pitches rejuvenated.

· Installation of new infield irrigation given the existing infield irrigation has been assessed as poor and does not allow for targeting water to the new sports pitch layout.

· Installation of conduits will be installed to allow for future installation floodlighting if it is deemed necessary at a later date.

Football/Little Athletics - The new layout will allow for a football pitch and a 400m athletics track. The existing levels are adequate for the new layout and as a consequence there will be no need to undertake earthworks. Works proposed in this area include:

· Extension of the existing car park to accommodate up to 285 cars.

· Installation of a new sewer pressure main from the football clubrooms to the new Air Training Corp Compound, which is ultimately serviced by the Water Corporation sewer system at Skeit Road.

· Rejuvenation of the existing turf to remove weeds, Parramatta Grass and the upper organic mat layer.

· Installation of new infield irrigation given the existing infield irrigation has been assessed as poor and does not allow for targeting water to the new sports pitch layout.

· Installation of new floodlighting to the pitch.

Air Training Corps – Construction of a new building platform near the Hepburn Entrance south of the football pitch to the Complex to allow for future relocation (this portion of work not included in the Preliminary Design and associated costs) of the existing building currently located near the Kingsway/Skeit Road intersection. Works proposed in this area include:

ATTACHMENT 3

Page 4 of 4

· Earthworks to provide a level area for the new building platform and associated hardstand area, along with access provided from a new roundabout constructed on the main north-south internal road connecting to Hepburn Avenue.

· Installation of a new gravity sewer connection to service the future relocated Air Corps building through to the baseball clubrooms, which is ultimately serviced by the Water Corporation sewer system at Skeit Road.

Baseball - The new layout will allow for three senior baseball pitches and one junior pitch. The existing car park will be retained and an area has been identified for future extension, however it is noted that the design/construction of the extension has not been included as part of the Project. Works proposed in this area include:

· Minor earthworks to redevelop the three existing pitches (ie: two senior and one junior pitches).

· Major earthworks required for the development of the new senior baseball pitch.

· Installation of new car park lighting.

· Installation of a new gravity sewer connection to service the baseball clubrooms, which is ultimately serviced by the Water Corporation sewer system at Skeit Road.

· Minor renovation of the turf to the existing pitches where considered applicable, with some areas requiring reconstruction due to the new layout of the pitches and formation of the new pitch.

· Installation of new infield irrigation given the existing infield irrigation has been assessed as poor and does not allow for targeting water to the new sports pitch layout.

· Installation of new floodlighting to the main baseball pitch and second pitch areas.

Netball/Badminton - The existing layout will be utilised for the netball courts providing 57 courts. A new car park is proposed for location between the Netball Courts and Kingsway, however it is noted that its design/construction has not been included as part of the Project as it is being action under a separate funding approval. Works proposed in this area include:

· Provision of a new temporary active space between the Netball Courts and the proposed realignment for Skeit Road requiring a moderate level of earthworks to be undertaken to provide a level platform for the area - as a consequence the existing Air Training Corps will be relocated as previously advised.

· Provision of new turf for the temporary active area.

· Resurfacing of the Netball Courts with asphalt.

· Installation of new infield irrigation to be provided to the temporary active space.

· Installation of new floodlighting to the to the 27 Netball Courts located to the west of the Badminton Hall.

Issue

To consider a budget variation for the installation of a shade structure located at the Ashby Depot and the installation of an air conditioning unit at Aquamotion.

Background

As part of the 2004/05 Minor Building Works Program, Council approved funds for the installation of a shade structure at the Ashby Depot and an air conditioning unit in the Swim School room at Aquamotion.

The following budget allocations were made for these projects based on preliminary cost estimates:

Description	Budget
Installation of shade structure	$6,500
Installation of air conditioning unit	$4,000

Detail

The scope of works for the shade structure has since been reviewed and quotations received at a cost of $8,603 resulting in a shortfall in funding of $2,103 to carry out the works. The shade structure is required for use by Technical Services and Community Development staff located at Ashby Depot.

During design and installation of the air conditioning unit at Aquamotion, an increase in the specification of the unit was required, in order to supply the required air movement for a larger area than initially anticipated. The total project cost is $6,500, resulting in a shortfall in funding of $2,500 to complete the works.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

As part of the 2004/05 Minor Building Works Program, Council approved funds to complete the following projects:

Description	Budget	Actual	Surplus
Installation of hot water systems to Butterworth Park Changerooms	$3,000	$1,874	$1,126
Installation of hot water systems to Oldham Park Toilet/Changerooms	$6,200	$5,104	$1,096
Installation of hot water systems to Shevlock Park Toilet/Changerooms	$3,000	$2,700	$300
Installation of hot water systems to Warradale Park Community Centre	$7,000	$4,819	$2,181
Total	$19,200	$14,497	$4,703

The shortfall in funding for the shade structure and air conditioning projects can therefore be accommodated from these savings in the 2004/2005 Minor Building Works program.

It is anticipated that the shade structure and installation of the air conditioning unit will be completed by 30 June 2005.

Issue

To consider a budget variation to address quotation acceptance for the upgrade of the existing storeroom into a Kitchen/Kiosk at Oldham Reserve, Yanchep.

Background

The construction of the toilet and change room facilities on Oldham Reserve was completed in February 2001 and included a room that could become a kitchen/kiosk should financial contributions be obtained from the clubs utilising the facility. As contributions were not received, the room was completed without the kitchen/kiosk and it was resolved that this would be completed as a club project at a future time. The room has been used as a storeroom pending future consideration by Council.

Council at its meeting on 3 February 2004, considered Report No.CD06-02/04 and resolved:

“That Council ADVISES the Yanchep District Junior Football Club and the Yanchep Red Hawks Football Club that it will consider the construction of kitchen/kiosk facilities at Oldham Reserve Yanchep subject to:

a) the facilities comply with the requirements of the Health (Food Hygiene) Regulations 1973;

b) the Club’s confirm their ability to make a contribution (in cash or kind) of $5,000 each to be received by the City prior to any work commencing, and;

c) funds being approved in the 2003-04 budget to complete the project”.

Council at its meeting on 16 March 2004, considered Report No.CD05-03/04 in follow up to Report No.CD06-02/04 and resolved:

“That Council AGREES that due to the past involvement by both Yanchep District Junior Football Club and the Yanchep Red Hawks Football Club no further payments relating to Oldham Reserve Clubrooms are Required”.

The 2004/2005 Capital Works Budget has listed a sum of $25,000 for the provision of a Kitchen/Kiosk at Oldham Reserve (Project No 815031).

Detail

The works required to upgrade the room into a kitchen/kiosk facility must meet the requirements of the Health (Food Hygiene) Regulations 1993. The scope of these works comprise of the following;

· Gyprock suspended ceiling and wall linings

· Painting of ceilings, walls and doors

· Floor and wall tiling

· Recessed lighting and exhaust system

· Electrical power outlets and electric oven

· Kitchen cabinets and bench tops

· Servery windows and security shutters

· Hydraulic services including hot water unit, sinks and hand basins

The provision of a kitchen/kiosk will enhance the existing facility, improve the versatility of the facility for existing users, assist in attracting new user groups and will allow for a greater range of sporting and recreational functions.

Oldham Reserve is currently being utilized by various sporting user groups, with the main users being:

· Junior Athletics

· Australian Rules Football (Junior & Senior)

· Cricket (training purpose only)

Letters of invitation were issued seeking quotations from three local contractors for the “Oldham Reserve Kitchen Refurbishment” works on 26 April 2005.

Quotations for the proposed works closed at the City’s office at 3.00pm on Thursday, 12 May 2005 with the receipt of the following submissions:

Company Quotation Price

Intercity Office and Partitioning $46,242.00

Issue

To consider a budget variation for traffic management works in Mariginiup and Banksia Grove.

Background

Council considered a report (Item TS04-03/05 refers) at its meeting on 15 March 2005 regarding the traffic management and the impact of the closure of Pinjar Road, Mariginiup south of the Neaves Road intersection and adopted several resolutions including the following two relating to the funding of the traffic management works:

5. Pursuant to Section 6.8(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 1995, APPROVES by an ABSOLUTE MAJORITY, the expenditure of $30,220 for traffic management works to streets in Mariginiup and Banksia Grove affected by the closure of Pinjar Road and Neaves Road.

6. NOTES the following budget variation to fund the traffic management works in respect to Recommendation 5:

*Project No*	*From*	To	*Description*
*845275*	*$30,220*		*Beach Road/Mirrabooka Avenue, Koondoola Intersection Works*
*845284*		*$30,220*	*Traffic Management Works in Mariginiup and Banksia Grove*

Detail

It was reported in Council Item TS04-03/05 that a sum of $30,000 would be required to cover expected costs associated with the continued control of traffic arising out of the closure of Pinjar Road south of Neaves Road and that an amount of $30,220 was available from Project No. 845275 Beach Road/Mirrabooka Avenue intersection for reallocation.

A review of expenditure against Project No 845275 indicated that $30,220 was not available for reallocation as the surplus funds had previously been reallocated (Council Item TS08-01/05 refers) to Project No 843119 to undertake road upgrading works in View Terrace.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

As there were insufficient funds in Project No 845275 for reallocation, it is necessary to approve another budget variation to reverse the budget variation approved in March 2005.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The issues of the closure of Pinjar Road and associated traffic treatments on subsequently affected roads are consistent with the City of Wanneroo’s Strategic Plan 2002-2005 goals and strategies:

Healthy Communities

2.2 Provide a cohesive system of integrated land use planning.

2.3 Support and encourage the delivery of a safe and effective transport network.

2.4 Support safe and secure communities

2.7 Provide community focused services and lifestyle opportunities.

Financial Implications

Funds were allocated in Project No 845115 – Flynn Drive Shoulder and Road Widening Works (Section A) in the approved 2004/2005 Capital Works Budget. However, prior to the commencement of construction works, the scope of works was reviewed in detail and reduced. These works are complete and funds have remained unexpended on this project.

It is therefore proposed to reallocate $30,220 from Project No 845115 - Flynn Drive Shoulder and Road Widening Works (Section A) to Project No 845284 – Traffic Management Works in Mariginiup & Banksia Grove.

Issue

To consider a budget variation for replacement of a pipe laying laser beam survey set out device.

Background

The Engineering Construction crew uses a pipe laying laser beam survey set out device (laser beam) for survey set out of stormwater drainage as part of capital works projects. The existing laser beam is malfunctioning and has been assessed as requiring extensive repairs.

Detail

The Engineering Construction crew has an essential need for laser beams to construct stormwater drainage systems as part of the capital works projects. The existing laser beam is malfunctioning and the manufacturer’s service provider has advised that there are several faults, with the repair costs in the order of $2,450. Also any repair work would only be warranted for a three-month period and the service provider has advised that since the equipment is five years old, even after these repairs are undertaken, some other faults may emerge that could result in the equipment becoming inoperable again.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

In view of the high cost of repairs and further uncertainty regarding the functioning of this equipment, it is considered more cost effective to purchase a new laser beam at an estimated cost of $6,500. No funding provision has been made in the 2004/2005 budget for this purchase, however, as explained in the financial implications section of this report, surplus funding is available in the 2004/2005 operating budget for reallocation.

Subject to an approved budget variation, the supply of a new laser beam survey set out device can be arranged before 30 June 2005.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The replacement of a malfunctioning laser beam is consistent with the City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2002-2005) goals and strategies:

“Healthy Communities

2.6 Provide and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of our community”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The Engineering Operations 2004/05 Budget does not have the required funding ($6,500) available for the purchase of a new laser beam. This funding requirement can be met from the unexpended funds allocated in the Engineering Maintenance Works (72301) operational budget. Sufficient funds will remain unexpended under Engineering Maintenance Works’ External Contract Services budget allocations. The following budget variation is therefore proposed:

Issue

To consider the management of a State Government grant, on behalf of the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland, for the construction of an interpretive walk trail through Koondoola Regional Bushland.

Background

The Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland has been successful in obtaining a Department of Conservation and Land Management - Regional Parks Local Government Funding grant of $50,000 for the construction of an interpretive walk trail through Koondoola Regional Bushland.

The concept for the project was developed by the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland, in conjunction with teachers from Burbridge School, Koondoola. The project aims to provide a bush-walking trail suitable for children with physical/mental disabilities and was strongly supported by the Member for Girrawheen when a State Government grant of $50,000 was made available for the implementation of the project in 2005/06.

Detail

The Koondoola Regional Bushland Interpretive Walk Trail Project will involve the following:

§ Upgrade of an existing firebreak to a more accessible standard;

§ Employment of a consultant to develop suitable interpretive signage/materials; and

§ Design, construction and installation of interpretive signage.

Consultation

Administration has liaised with CALM’s Regional Parks Unit regarding the transfer of the State Government grant to the City of Wanneroo for management, on behalf of the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland. CALM has also confirmed that the State Government grant must be transferred to the designated management entity for this project by the end of June 2005. It is therefore necessary to secure Council approval for the City of Wanneroo to manage this project on behalf of the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland prior to 30 June 2005.

Further consultation with the Friends of Koondoola Regional Bushland and teachers from Burbridge School, Koondoola, will be required to further refine the scope of the Koondoola Regional Bushland Interpretive Walk Trail Project.

Comment

The Koondoola Regional Bushland Interpretive Walk Trail Project will provide a regional community asset, to allow access to people with disabilities for the enjoyment and appreciation of the natural environment in the City of Wanneroo.

Issue

To consider an extension to the Service Agreement relating to the Supply of Fleet Maintenance Services to the City of Joondalup.

Background

As part of the split of the former City of Wanneroo, some services were assigned fully to one of the new councils to retain economies of scale for all of the residents of the two new municipalities. All of the fleet maintenance services with the exception of the City of Joondalup light vehicle fleet were assigned to the City of Wanneroo and a service agreement was set up to provide a formal legal basis for the service provision and associated payments.

The Fleet Maintenance Service Agreement (FMSA) was based on a three year term from 1 July 1999 and expiring on 30 June 2002, with the provision of three, one year options for extension which expires on 30 June 2005.

The concept of the FMSA is that the maintenance work is undertaken at cost (without any component for profit). The City of Wanneroo does, however, benefit from certain economies of scale from undertaking works for the City of Joondalup. This is because while various administration charges are rightly allocated to the service, these overheads would not change if the service were stopped. There would also be disruption to the current operations from terminating the work currently undertaken for Joondalup.

Detail

The Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo have been discussing the FMSA to determine suitable terms for considering an extension to the Agreement, which has revolved around the City of Joondalup’s completion dates for the construction of their proposed new works depot.

Subsequently the City has received correspondence dated 2 June 2005 from the City of Joondalup requesting an extension of the current FMSA from 1 July 2005 to the 30 June 2006, with an option for two extensions of one year each.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

The costs for providing the service has been carefully analysed and it was found that the cost for the fleet maintenance services of $410,000 per annum, approximates the actual costs incurred in providing the service and therefore appropriately meets the intention of the agreement.

The service fees are detailed in schedule 3 of the FMSA and are adjusted annually to reflect the actual cost of the services provided, which are invoiced to the City of Joondalup on a monthly basis.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The provision of fleet maintenance services to the City of Joondalup through a Service Agreement is consistent with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2002-2005) goals and strategies:

“Healthy Communities

2.7 Provide and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of our community

Economic Development

3.2 Identify, support and respond to the needs of existing and new industries”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The provision of fleet maintenance services to the City of Joondalup provides the City of Wanneroo with economies of scale that enable the City to provide more effective and lower cost services to ratepayers.

FMSA expenditure and revenue have been included in the draft 2005/2006 fleet maintenance operational budget.

Recommendation

That Council APPROVES the extension of the City of Wanneroo and City of Joondalup Service Agreement relating to the supply of Fleet Maintenance Services for the period 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006, with any extensions beyond this period subject to further negotiations and approval by Council.

Issue

To consider a petition by business operators in the Neerabup Industrial Area regarding general maintenance and development within the Neerabup Industrial Area.

Background

A petition signed by 168 business operators and their employees in the Neerabup Industrial Area was received by Council at its meeting held on 26 April 2005. The petition requested the City to undertake a general maintenance program within the Neerabup Industrial Area, arrange a public meeting and install a new entry statement at the intersection of Flynn Drive/Mather Drive.

Detail

The five items listed for Council’s consideration have been investigated and the following action is proposed:

Item No	Item Description	Actions
1.	Council hold an open public meeting with the business operators from the Neerabup Industrial Area to answer their enquiries about the future plans for the area	Administration is preparing a letter to send to all Neerabup Industrial Area business operators that will provide information on: · the current status of the Neerabup Structure Plan · the business plan for the proposed subdivision of Lot 4 Flynn Drive · the current maintenance issues and how a revised maintenance regime will address maintenance requirements The letter will invite enquiries to a nominated officer who will be assigned to respond to further enquiries in an appropriate manner. A public meeting may still be considered, if deemed necessary after the City has corresponded with owners/operators in the area
2.	Council immediately embark upon a program to clean up the intersection of Mather Drive and Flynn Drive and along Mather Drive	Investigation has highlighted that the Flynn Drive / Mather Drive intersection was upgraded earlier this financial year and is in satisfactory condition. Engineering Maintenance Operations organises the sweep of Mather Drive as and when required. In view of this petition, a works order has been issued to inspect Mather Drive every six weeks and undertake necessary maintenance works.
3.	Council erect an inexpensive but effective entry statement at the intersection of Flynn Drive and Mather Drive by September 2005	A cost estimate for the proposed entry statement incorporating a sign based on a limestone entry statement concept has been prepared and this item has been listed in the Draft Capital Works Budget for Council’s consideration.
4.	Council establish inexpensive but effective signage at the intersection of Wanneroo Road and Flynn Drive by September 2005	The intersection of Wanneroo Road and Flynn Drive is the management responsibility of Main Roads Western Australia and any proposal to establish such signage should therefore be forwarded to MRWA for their consideration.
5.	Council repair and maintain the road edging, drainage and access along Warman Street, on the south side, so workers and visitors can safely access the businesses in the street	Engineering Maintenance Operations generally undertakes the road pavement and verge maintenance in Warman Street as required and will ensure that this occurs on a frequent basis throughout winter periods. A works order has been issued to undertake repairs to road edges and regrade the verge.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

A letter that comprehensively addresses the issues raised in the petition is considered the most effective way to fully inform all business operators and employees within the Neerabup Industrial Area of the future plans for its area and the current maintenance service level standards.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The actions undertaken and proposed for the Neerabup Industrial Area are consistent with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2002-2005) goals and strategy:

“Healthy Communities

2.6 Provide and manage infrastructure to meet the needs of our community.”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The actions undertaken within Neerabup Industrial Area are of a maintenance nature and the Engineering Maintenance Works 2004/2005 operating budget allocations will cover this expenditure except for the installation of entry statement near the Flynn Drive/Mather Drive intersection which is subject to the allocation of 2005/2006 Capital Works Program funding.

An alternative to the regular maintenance program is to complete the underground drainage, kerb installation and footpath construction for the completed streets in the Neerabup Industrial Area. The estimated cost of these works is $700,000 and is not considered a priority in the City’s draft Four Year Capital Works Program.

2. WRITES to all owners/operators within the Neerabup Industrial Area advising them of the current status of the Neerabup Structure Plan, current proposals for subdivision within the area and the revised maintenance service level standards for the area.

3. WRITES to the petitioner elect in respect to Council's consideration of this matter.

Issue

To consider making a recommendation to the Director General of the Department of Local Government and Regional Development that the basis for rating the various land be changed from unimproved value to gross rental value.

Background

Section 6.28 of the Local Government Act 1995 requires the Minister to determine the method of valuation of land to be used by a local government and publish a notice of the determination in the Government Gazette

In determining the method of valuation to be used by a local government, the Minister is to have regard to the principle that the basis for a rate on any land is to be either: -

a) Where the land is used predominantly for rural purposes, the unimproved value of the land; and

b) Where the land is used predominantly for non-rural purposes, the gross rental value of the land.

This authority has been delegated to the Director General of the Department of Local Government and Regional Development.

Each local government has a role in ensuring that the rating principles of the Local Government Act 1995 are correctly applied to rateable land within their district.

Detail

Administration considers that the following properties currently valued on unimproved values should be valued on gross rental values pursuant to Section 6.28 of the Act:-

1. Lot 9003, Tyne Crescent, Wanneroo

On 29 October 2003, the City received a subdivision application for Lot 9003 Tyne Crescent, Wanneroo. The City supported the subdivision application and a letter was sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 19 July 2004. WAPC subsequently approved the subdivision application on 18 October 2004. This lot has been subdivided into Lots 989-998 on deposited plan 44817 (Attachment 1 refers).

The current method of valuation of land used for Lot 9003 Tyne Crescent, Wanneroo is unimproved value. Following subdivision, the predominant use of the properties will change to non-rural.

2. Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 Kingsway, Darch and Lots 27 and 29 Landsdale Road, Darch

On 11 November 2003, the City received a subdivision application for Lot 1 Kingsway, Darch. The City supported the subdivision application and a letter was sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 2 December 2003. WAPC subsequently approved the subdivision application on 3 February 2004. This lot have been subdivided into Lots 101-102, 104-128 on deposited plan 41027.

On 22 January 2004, the City received a subdivision application for Lot 27 Landsdale Road, Darch. The City supported the subdivision application and a letter was sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 29 January 2004. WAPC subsequently approved the subdivision application on 29 April 2004. This lot has been subdivided into Lots 133-139, 144-148, 150-156 and 175-181 on deposited plan 44814.

On 18 October 2004 the City received a subdivision application for Lot 2 Kingsway, Darch. The City supported the subdivision application and a letter was sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 19 October 2004. WAPC subsequently approved the subdivision application on 30 December 2004.

Lots 3 and 4 Kingsway, Darch and Lot 29 Landsdale Road, Darch, which surround Lots 1 and 2 Kingsway Darch and Lot 27 Landsdale Road, Darch, are being used for residential purposes which is a non-rural use (Attachment 2 refers).

The current method of valuation of land used for Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 Kingsway and Lots 27 and 29 Landsdale Road, Darch is unimproved value. Following subdivision of Lots 1, 2 and 27 the predominant use of the properties will change to non-rural. The predominant use for Lots 3, 4 and 29 is currently residential.

3. Lots 44-49 Wanneroo Road, Madeley

On 6 February 2004, the City received a subdivision application for Lots 44-49 Wanneroo Road, Madeley. The City supported the subdivision application and a letter was sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 6 April 2004. WAPC subsequently approved the subdivision application on 9 June 2004 (Attachment 3 refers).

The current method of valuation of land used for Lots 44-49 Wanneroo Road, Madeley is unimproved value. Following subdivision, the predominant use of the properties will change to non-rural.

4. Lot 14 Kingsway, Madeley

On 31 March 2004, the City received a subdivision application for Lot 14 Kingsway, Madeley. The City supported the subdivision application and a letter was sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 5 April 2004. WAPC subsequently approved the subdivision application on 9 June, 2004. This lot has been subdivided into Lots 930-941, 944-956 and 2000 on deposited plan 43490 (Attachment 4 refers).

The current method of valuation of land used for Lot 14 Kingsway, Madeley is unimproved value. Following subdivision, the predominant use of the property will change to non-rural.

5. Lot 8 Kingsway, Madeley

On 31 March 2003, the City received a subdivision application for Lot 8 Kingsway, Madeley. The City supported the subdivision application and a letter was sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 5 May 2003. WAPC subsequently approved the subdivision application on 9 July 2003. This lot has been subdivided into Lots 401-404 and 406-439 on deposited plan 41362 (Attachment 5 refers).

The current method of valuation of land used for Lot 8 Kingsway, Madeley is unimproved value. Following subdivision, the predominant use of the property will change to non-rural.

The various properties listed above are all used for non-rural purposes and in order to maintain an equitable rates base in accordance with Section 6.28 of the Local Government Act 1995, it is recommended that the method of valuing the land be changed from unimproved value to gross rental value.

Consultation

Guidelines issued by the Department of Local Government and Regional Development recommend that affected property owners be informed of proposed changes to the method of valuing their property, although a modified consultation process may be considered where the change is driven by large scale subdivisions.

In all cases, consultation was not considered necessary, as the subdivision of the land has resulted in the creation of new residential lots for which the predominant use is clearly non-rural.

Comment

Under Section 6.28 of the Local Government Act 1995 the Minister for Local Government is to determine the method of valuation of land. The Minister’s approval is required before the method of valuation of a property can be changed.

The Department of Local Government and Regional Development has confirmed that the process of subdivision does not automatically give rise to a change in the method of valuing land. Instead, upon receiving advice from a local authority the Minister is required to make a determination and advise the Valuer General accordingly.

Statutory Compliance

Section 6.28 of the Local Government Act 1995 requires the Minister to determine the method of valuation to be used by a local government and publish a notice of the determination in the Government Gazette:-

“(1) The Minister is to –

(a) determine the method of valuation of land to be used by a local government as the basis for a rate; and

(b) publish a notice of the determination in the Government Gazette.

(2) In determining the method of valuation of land to be used by a local government the Minister is to have regard to the general principle that the basis for a rate on any land is to be –

(a) where the land is used predominantly for rural purposes, the unimproved value of the land; and

(b) where the land is used predominantly for non-rural purposes, the gross rental value of land.”

The Department Local Government and Regional Development has advised that the powers under Section 6.28 of the Local Government Act 1995 have been delegated to the Director General of the Department. In addition, the Department has advised that the effective date of the change is the date of the Director General’s approval.

Strategic Implications

“Goal 4 – Corporate Management and Development – proper management of our natural, financial and human resource”.

Maintenance of an equitable rating system is one of the objectives listed by the Corporate Services Directorate to achieve Goal 4.

Policy Implications

Nil.

Financial Implications

The change in basis of rating to gross rental value as opposed to the unimproved value will result in the owners making a more equitable contribution to the City’s rate income.

Issue

To consider the assessment and recommendation of Tender No. 05512 – The Provision of a Delivered Meals Service to Eligible Aged And Disabled Residents of the City of Wanneroo.

Background

In April 2005, the City advertised a tender for the provision of a delivered meal service for eligible residents within the City of Wanneroo who are aged or have a disability. The City requires the tenderer to provide a meal service to clients as part of its Home and Community Care (HACC) and Community Aged Care Packages (CACP) programs.

According to the Service Agreement for the provision of HACC services between the Minister of Health and the City of Wanneroo, the City is contracted to provide 22,500 meals to 210 members of the HACC target population resident in the City of Wanneroo. In 2003, Acri Pty Ltd T/as Home Chef (WA) was contracted to provide a delivered meal service to the aged and people with disabilities on behalf of the City of Wanneroo. The period of this contract, Contract Number: 03301, was from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004.

In May 2004, in accordance with delegation number 35 and subject to the provisions of Regulations and the terms of the existing Contract Number 03301, with Acri Pty Ltd T/as Home Chef (WA), the Chief Executive Officer approved the extension of The Provision of a Delivered Meals Service for a period of one year to 30 June 2005.

As noted, the term of this contract is due to expire on 30 June 2005. As such, the tender for the provision of the meals service to aged and disabled residents in the City of Wanneroo was advertised on 16 April 2005 and closed on 3 May 2005.

Detail

The City received 3 responses to its advertised tender. These were received from:

1. Acri Pty Ltd T/as Home Chef (WA) (current provider);

2. Gemideca Holdings T/as Crazy Cookz, and

3. Aurum Catering Management Services

The Manager, Community Services and Team Leader, Aged and Disability Services evaluated these tenders against the following criteria:

1. Price for the services offered - funding for this service is limited, therefore the tender must demonstrate an ability to supply a cost effective product that remains affordable to the frail aged and people with disabilities;

2. Tenderer’s resources must have suitable premises, equipment, employees and vehicles and demonstrate an ability to fulfil regular orders in a timely and efficient manner.

3. Tenderer’s previous experience in carrying out similar work demonstrated experience to produce, supply and deliver meals that are fresh, nutritious, healthy, offer variety and are suitable for clients with particular health and cultural requirements, and quality control measures in place.

4. Safety Management, FoodSafe and Occupational Safety and Health management guidelines in place.

The tender evaluation resulted in the following ranking:

1. Home Chef (WA)

2. Aurum Catering Management Services

3. Crazy Cookz

Comment

All submissions were conforming, however, it is evident that the most acceptable tender is that submitted by Home Chef (WA). Home Chef (WA) currently provides the service to eligible residents in the City. The price per meal has not increased in this tender and remains at $6.70 per meal. It has an existing commercial kitchen with large banks of freezers and cool rooms that hold up to 14,000 meals that are cooked, packaged and ready for delivery in place. It also has existing vehicles, drivers and delivery staff in place.

Home Chef (WA) has extensive experience in delivering suitable meals and is experienced in providing an extensive menu of meals that suit the needs of individual clients, e.g. meals suitable for diabetic clients and low fat meals. It is certified to produce and supply Halal meals on their premises. It has systems in place to ensure that quality is maintained, that meals are delivered in good condition and on time.

Home Chef (WA) has a Food Safety programme that complies with the requirements of HACCP. Home Chef is classified as a Class 2 food premises under the Health (Food Hygiene) Regulations, 1993. This standard ensures that food is managed safely from ingredient receipt and storage, during preparation and when delivered to the client.

The final recommendation has been discussed with the Manager Contracts and Property and it is supported. In summary, against the criteria, Home Chef (WA) has achieved the highest score; they have the resources, the experience as well as the safety and quality systems in place to meet the tender deadline of 1 July 2005.

The tender period is for 12 months, from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006, in line with the HACC Service Agreement between the City and the Department of Health.

Statutory Compliance

Tenders have been invited and properly evaluated against the selection criteria in accordance with Section 3.57 of the Local Government Act 1995 and associated regulations.

Strategic Implications

The continued provision of a delivered meal service is consistent with the city’s strategic plan in the following areas:

“2.5 Foster a community that finds strength in its diversity

2.7 Provide community focussed services and lifestyle opportunities”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The approximate cost of the contract over a 12-month period is $150,750.00. Each client contributes $4.00 towards the cost of each meal. The remaining cost is met by funding from the state Department of Health (Home and Community Care).

Issue

To consider the Community Sport and Recreation Facility Fund (CSRFF) allocations from the Department of Sport and Recreation for 2004 and 2005.

Background

The WA Department of Sport and Recreation allocates approximately $9 million on an annual basis to provide Western Australian Government financial assistance to community groups and local government authorities to develop basic infrastructure for sport and recreation. The program aims to increase participation in sport and recreation with an emphasis on physical activity, through rational development of sustainable, good quality, well-designed and well-utilised facilities.

The CSRFF program operates on a reimbursement system. Grantees are required to demonstrate that they have expended the funds equivalent to the full cost of project before CSRFF grants can be paid in full. Applicants are required to ensure they are able to carry the full cost of the project for the period between project completion and CSRFF grant payment. Priority is given to projects that lead to facility sharing and rationalisation. Multi-purpose facilities reduce infrastructure required to meet similar needs and increase sustainability.

Applicants must be either a local government authority, not for profit sport, recreation or community organisation and incorporated under the WA Associations Incorporation Act 1987. Clubs must demonstrate equitable access to the public on a short term and casual basis.

Detail

In 2004/2005 the City of Wanneroo and local clubs applied for a range of CSRFF grants, with the following results:

*Applicant*	*Project*	*Cost of Project*	*Amount Allocated by CSRFF*
City of Wanneroo	Construction of changeroom / clubrooms at Gumblossom Reserve.	$743, 823	$0
Quinns Rocks Sports Club	Installation of air-conditioning to clubhouse.	$55,093	$0
Perth Lever Action Rifle Club Inc	Construction of sound barrier behind 100m firing line at Wanneroo Shooting Complex.	$6,288	$1,572
	Total	$805,204	$1,572

In addition, the following 2004 allocations were returned or deferred due to changes in project status:

Applicant	Project	Status	Amount
City of Wanneroo	Ridgewood Reserve clubrooms.	Deferred – approval from DSR pending.	$175,000
City of Wanneroo	Construction of sporting ground at Kingsway Reserve.	Returned – new application to be submitted in future round.	$30,000
City of Wanneroo	Floodlighting at Gumblossom Reserve	Returned – new application to be submitted in future round.	$53,333

Comment

Leisure Services officers have sought feedback from DSR regarding each of these applications and a meeting with DSR and City of Wanneroo officers took place in late April 2005 to discuss each application in detail, as well as provide further information to DSR where required, (e.g. pending deferral of funds for Ridgewood reserve clubrooms).

The City is aware of the importance of maintaining a strong partnership with DSR that will assist us in providing for community needs in the future, with their assistance through funding support. Given the rapidly growing community in the City of Wanneroo, we will continue to develop a relationship with DSR that centres on a strong joint planning focus, as well as keeping DSR informed regarding the changes taking place in our City.

Statutory Compliance

Approval to Commence Development (DA04/0719) was lodged on 26 October 2004, with approval issued on 22 November 2004.

Strategic Implications

This project is clearly aligned with the City’s Strategic Plan and Smart Growth Strategy, in particular Council’s focus upon Healthy Communities in the form of promoting lifestyle choice and provision of quality services and infrastructure.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Items 1-2:

As the City’s capital works projects are staged to accommodate possible funding options, there is no direct budget impact for item 1. Items 2 and 3 were submitted by external organisations with no financial commitment required from the City.

Items 4-6:

Item 4 – Deferment of funds subject to confirmation from DSR once evidence of project progress has been provided. No budget impact if deferment is approved.

Item 5 – No impact at this time.

Item 6 – This item will have considerable impact on the Gumblossom Reserve redevelopment.

The project is now $53,333 short of the total amount required to complete the floodlighting component of this project. However, a further budget item will be submitted for consideration in the 2006/2007 financial year. The project amount listed originally included allowance for a possible CSRFF allocation that will no longer be included following the outcome of this grant submission. It is proposed that a future submission will be made for CSRFF support to assist in the implementation of the Gumblossom Reserve Redevelopment Project floodlighting component.

Issue

To consider applications for an exemption to Council’s Local Laws made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 to keep more than two dogs.

Background

Clause 14 of the City of Wanneroo Animal Local Laws 1999 stipulates:

“A person shall not keep or permit to be kept on any premises more than:

a) 2 dogs over the age of 3 months and the young of those dogs under that age; or

b) 6 dogs over the age of 3 months and the young of those dogs under that age if the premises are situated within a rural area or comprise a lot in a special rural area having an area of 4 hectares or more;

unless the premises is licensed as an approved kennel establishment or has been granted an exemption pursuant to section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 and have planning approval under the Town Planning Scheme.”

Detail

The following applications have been made under the Dog Act 1976 and are submitted for consideration:

Address of Applicant	Description of Dogs
14 Swanmore Street, Butler	Male Red Bullmastiff Female Grey Maltese Cross Male White Pomeranian
10 Pannell Way, Girrawheen	Male Sterilised Tan and White Chihuahua Female Brown Chihuahua Female Brown Chihuahua
4/11 Westbrook Way, Girrawheen	Female Black and Tan Rottweiler Female Black and Tan Rottweiler Female Black and Tan Rottweiler

Rangers have inspected the properties to ensure that means exist on the premises at which the dogs will ordinarily be kept for effectively confining the dogs within the premises.

Comment

In considering these applications for exemption, the following two options are available:

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

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

14 Swanmore Street, Butler

The dogs are kept in a fenced off area in the backyard approximately 120sq metres in size. This area is mainly paved, including a gravelled area and also a small area of 3 metres by 4 metres of dirt. The dogs also have access to the main dwelling through a dog door in the laundry. All 3 dogs are confined in a fenced cage 3 x 4 metres in the backyard at night and also when the owners are not at home, which according to owner does not occur for more than 2 hours at a time during the day. The caged confinement has an ample supply of water, food and shelter. During the inspection the Ranger found an excessive amount of dog faeces in the rear yard (mainly on the gravel path and the dirt patch). It should also be noted the occupants of a nearby resident objected to the 3 dog application stating the property is not large enough for 3 dogs and that the dogs yap and bark whenever the complainant is in their backyard.

The Ranger does not recommend approval for this application to keep more than two dogs for the following reasons:

· Size of the backyard;

· Size of the cage that the dogs are kept in at night and when owners are not at home;

· Excessive faeces in the backyard;

· The objection received from the neighbour regarding excessive barking.

All gates are 2 metres in height and made of a wooden material leading to the pool area. The fences are 2.4 metres on the left and rear side with the right side 2 metres in height. The inspecting Ranger advises that the backyard is quite small for the containment of 3 large dogs.

It should be noted that the Dog Registration Officers who are currently following up on unregistered dogs within the city, found this particular property to have 3 unregistered dogs and therefore advised them of Council’s requirement to register 2 dogs and then to write in to the City and apply for an exemption to keep the third dog.

The inspecting Ranger advises that the property is not adequate for the confinement and exercise of the dogs. Fences and gates are all in compliance with regulations. There is also adequate shelter for all dogs. However the Ranger has not recommended that an exemption to the City of Wanneroo Local Laws 1999 made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 be granted.

10 Pannell Way, Girrawheen

The Ranger has noted there is adequate shelter and plenty of room for the dogs with all three sleeping inside the house. All fences and gates are 1.5 metres in height.

The third dog is “Gemma”, which the applicant currently own. All three dogs are Chihuahuas. To date, no complaints have been received concerning the dogs.

The inspecting Ranger advises that the property is adequate for the confinement and exercise of the dogs. Fences and gates are all in compliance with regulations. There is also adequate shelter for all dogs with the sleeping areas being inside the house. The Ranger has recommended that an exemption to the City of Wanneroo Local Laws 1999 made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 be granted.

4/11 Westbrook Way, Girrawheen

The applicant is seeking approval for a third dog to add an additional member to their family. The applicant converted their garden shed into a large kennel for the 2 dogs they already have. The Ranger has noted the property is in very good condition and kept free of odours and mess. All dogs are well trained. The Ranger also mentioned the applicant is a responsible dog owner. The third dog is a 10-week-old pup, named “Roglis”.

It should be noted the applicant has never received any complaints previously. The rear and right boundary fences are made of Super six and the left boundary of wood. All fences and gates are 2 metres in height.

Statutory Compliance

These applications for exemption to Council’s Local Laws made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 has been detailed in this report.

Issue

To consider submissions received on the revised Draft Smart Growth Strategy and a proposed final Smart Growth Strategy.

Background

At the meeting of 21 September 2004 (item CEO7-09/04), Council resolved to endorse a revised Draft Smart Growth Strategy and a further invitation for public comment on the revised Draft for a period of 42 days.

Detail

The four week comment period on the Draft Strategy concluded on 16 November 2004. Fifteen submissions were received from external stakeholders and three submissions received from within City Administration.

Consultation

The Draft Strategy was publicised as follows:

· advertisments in local newspapers

· information placed on the City’s website, at the Customer Service Centre at the City Administration Centre and at all City Libraries.

· letters sent to all those who had made submissions on the first Draft Smart Growth Strategy Discussion Paper.

· letters sent to all the main community/residents organisations, relevant government agencies and other service providers, and major developers within the City.

· briefings provided to various groups, upon request.

The revised Draft Strategy was also brought to the attention of all City Administration and comments invited.

Comment

In the report on the Draft Smart Growth Assessment Tool (SGAT) presented to Council at its meeting of 15 March 2005 (item GS05-03/05), it was advised that a number of submissions on the revised Draft Strategy and related policy had been received from industry groups. Several of these had asked that the Strategy and policy not be considered for finalisation until the Draft SGAT had been released for comment.

The Draft Strategy and policy were felt to be difficult to assess given their generally broad nature, whereas the SGAT would allow them to see what they meant in more detailed practical terms. Implementation of the Strategy and policy prior to availability of the SGAT was also seen to present problems. This approach was considered reasonable and it had therefore been decided to progress the Strategy, policy and SGAT as a ‘package’. Consequently, following completion of the comment period on the draft SGAT, reports would be presented to Council on the comments received on the draft SGAT, as well as reports on the comments previously received on the revised draft Strategy and the policy. Recommendations would be made concerning finalisation of the Strategy, the policy and SGAT.

As noted previously, a total of 18 submissions have been received on the revised draft Strategy. Attachment 1 provides a summary of the submissions received, an assessment of the comments made, and a recommendation concerning each comment. The recommendations are provided in consolidated form in the recommendation section of this report.

The Smart Growth Steering Committee considered this matter at the meeting of 12 May 2005 and resolved to recommend to Council generally as per the recommendation which follows in this report. The main exception concerns point 2 of the recommendation where, given a recent submission from the Urban Development Institute of Australia upon the draft SGAT (which is the subject of a separate report to this meeting of Council), it is now recommended that the SGAT be implemented on a trial basis in respect to structure plans where there is substantial support from the developers involved for participation in such a trial.

Statutory Compliance

Adoption of this Strategy will not involve noncompliance with any statutory requirements. Statutory compliance is more relevant to the related policy and SGAT and is dealt with in the separate reports on those matters.

Strategic Implications

The Smart Growth Principles are strongly linked to the City’s four strategic goals of its Strategic Plan and give effect to these goals.

Policy Implications

This Strategy will lead to the implementation and review of various City policies, including the Smart Growth Local Planning Policy.

Financial Implications

There may be financial implications associated with implementing some of the Strategies and Actions in the Smart Growth Strategy, subject to budget consideration.

Recommendation

That Council:

1. ENDORSE the assessment of submissions on the Draft Smart Growth Strategy contained in Attachment 1 of this report, and that the revised Draft Smart Growth Strategy be adopted as the final Smart Growth Strategy, subject to the following changes being made:

a) Strategy 5g. having the following additional Actions (with appropriate Examples and Indicators) included under it:

“i) Working with the Department of Agriculture to facilitate opportunities such as the production of fresh food, export development opportunities and agri-tourism, where appropriate.

SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT OF SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED

ON THE REVISED DRAFT SMART GROWTH STRATEGY

EXTERNAL SUBMISSIONS

1. Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM)

a) CALM commends the City on recognising the need for a strategic approach to development, incorporating environmental sustainability as one of the main goals. CALM supports the actions outlined within Principle 3 (Long Term Health of the Environment) of the Draft Smart Growth Strategy including those developed for the conservation and enhancement of local biodiversity.

CALM looks forward to working in partnership with the City to incorporate biodiversity conservation and environmental sustainability as essential components in future development within the City of Wanneroo.

Assessment /recommendation:

Note comments

2. Department of Health

a) The draft strategy and Policy establish a basis for across-Government collaboration on demographic challenges such as the projected doubling of the number of children over the next decade (particularly affecting provision of Child Health Centres and vaccination programs), and the cultural diversity and ageing of the City’s population.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

b) It is pleasing to have injury prevention and physical activity priorities included in the City’s planning. Consideration of the following additional measures is suggested:

· Tobacco control (eg increasing the number of smoke free venues, playgrounds, beaches, etc.

· Increasing healthy food choices (eg healthy meals on wheels, child care centres, healthy food outlets, provision of Food Cent$ programs etc)

· Promoting moderate intensity physical activity and falls prevention for seniors

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 2 of 28

· Appropriately-designed communal gardens to facilitate the small amount of gardening which provides significant health benefit

· Housing situated away from major roads reduces the potential impact of air pollution

· Mixed demographic housing as well as mixed usage zoning

· Walking school bus programs in ‘walkable (rideable) neighbourhoods’

· Promotion of safe walking routes to public transport hubs, shops, conservations trails and beaches. Planting green corridors for shade and noise reduction will further encourage human contact with the natural world, one of the ‘services provided by natural systems’ with a lack of assigned value’

· ‘Road safety initiatives’ might include through-roads rather than cul de sacs to encourage walking/social connection and reduce crime

· Acknowledgment of their particular heritage improves Indigenous Australians’ health

· Continuing attention to preventing transmission of communicable disease via immunisation and needle and syringe programs, sharps disposal and safe water conservation

Assessment/recommendation:

These detailed measures are all valid and should be considered at the more detailed planning levels.

Note comment.

c) Activities to promote waste reduction could benefit from integration with the Waste Management Board of WA’s Waste Management Strategy. It is also recommended the City of Wanneroo support the education and other programs developed by the Mindarie Regional Council to encourage waste reduction within the City.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

d) The Department applauds the key goal of creating healthy communities through fostering identity and providing quality services and infrastructure. It is recognised that the City will endeavour to ensure that key stakeholders are consulted on issues that might affect them. However, there are many groups who do not actively participate in community consultation, eg Indigenous Australians, the aged, those who are isolated, the very young, lone parents etc. It is appropriate to develop mechanisms to ensure these peoples’ health needs are also heard and met.

Assessment/recommendation:

The proposed Community Development Strategy addresses this issue.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 3 of 28

Note comment.

e) As with many approaches to implementing sustainability principles, the Strategy appears to imply rather than specify activities to improve the community’s health. It is suggested that Council make a commitment to encouraging residents to participate in health activities while recognising differing needs within the community. For example, the appropriate design and signage of proposed walkways will provide more equitable access to these facilities by those (eg the aged and/or disabled) who might otherwise be daunted by them. Consulting for health and wellbeing expertise – particularly among vulnerable groups – is recommended.

Assessment/recommendation:

The proposed Community Development Strategy and Leisure Plan will address this issue.

Note comment.

f) Although the Local Environmental Strategy discusses the number and importance of wetlands in the region, it does not provide for the management of mosquitoes. In response to the known mosquito nuisance and Ross River virus transmission in the City of Wanneroo, a mosquito management plan – which includes allocation of funding and resources – should be prepared for natural and constructed wetlands, and any water features colonised by vector species. The management plan should also include larval and adult mosquito monitoring and control, harvesting of wetland vegetation that might promote mosquito survival, design and maintenance of constructed wetlands and public education. Where there are new developments in areas of high mosquito activity, the City should consider requesting the WA Planning Commission impose Memorials on land titles to advise prospective purchasers of the mosquito nuisance and risk of exposure to Ross River virus.

Assessment/recommendation:

Mosquito management plans should be an integrated part of more comprehensive management plans prepared for natural and constructed wetlands.

Note comment.

g) With respect to the design of facilities (including houses) that promote low energy use, the Department wishes to highlight the need to consider possible associated health impacts. For example, many facilities designed to promote low energy use might not provide adequate ventilation and air quality is subsequently affected. The use of gas for heating and cooking (especially in unflued appliances) might increase respiratory risk, which can be further exacerbated by indoor smoking.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 4 of 28

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

h) The alcohol policy and management plan templates for local governments is brought to the City’s attention. This kit promotes a broader role of prevention and alcohol-related harm minimisation for local government, encourages better internal communication (eg between planning and environmental health sections) and assists in anticipated of future problems (eg residential area zoning). The Drug and Alcohol Office is also liaising with the Office of Crime Prevention to promote the alcohol management plans as a tool for Community Safety Plans (which have attached funding).

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

3. Department of Agriculture

a) The department supports the strategy (5g) that the City of Wanneroo undertakes to protect and promote agricultural and productive agricultural industries and associated actions. This is consistent with the policies of Government eg State Planning Strategy and Statement of Planning Policy 2.5 – Agricultural and Rural Land Use Planning Policy. Similarly it is consistent with the Department’s policy in relation to Wanneroo. There are some additional suggested changes (in ‘bold’) as follows:

5g. By protecting and promoting agricultural and productive primary industries. This is to include:

i) Working with the Department of Agriculture to facilitate opportunities such as the production of fresh food, export development opportunities and agri-tourism, where appropriate.

ii) Supporting the sustainable development and management of agriculture in conjunction with agricultural industry groups, the Department of Agriculture and other groups.

iii) Promoting integration of waste management systems including composting and the use of recycled water.

iv) Investigate transferable development rights and other methods for protecting agricultural land resources and other natural resources.

Assessment/recommendation:

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 5 of 28

Inclusion of actions i) to iii) would improve strategy 5g. Action iv) is considered premature to include at this stage and would warrant further examination with the Department of Agriculture.

Amend strategy 5g. to include under it actions i) to iii)(with appropriate indicators) as recommended by Department of Agriculture.

b) There is a reference in section 5g (ii) of the Strategy to “Ensure that the issues of viability of agricultural operations are assessed in respect to lot size”. This is completely inappropriate as lot size and viability are only marginally related. This can be attested to by the results of a recent study undertaken by Geography students from the University of

Western Australia. This study indicated that a large number of existing horticultural growers in the East Wanneroo area south of Flynn Drive considered themselves to be viable, although operating on lots of only between 2-4 hectares. This is not to say that subdivision down to 2-4 hectares should be permitted as policy. A wide variety of factors affect viability including the types of crops grown, terms of trade, market demand and management. In addition, some growers may have more than one property which are not necessarily contiguous to each other. Nonetheless it is important to prevent further fragmentation on agricultural land for various reasons including to prevent the intrusion of potentially conflicting uses into the area.

It follows that the indicator for 5g (ii) should be modified. A more appropriate indicator in relation to this issue may be: “The area of land protected for agriculture and related industries”. This is currently addressed in the Rural Resource zoning of the town planning scheme and is consistent with Statement of Planning Policy No. 2.5 – Agricultural and Rural Land Use Planning.

Assessment/recommendation:

While historically larger lot sizes have been seen as conducive to agricultural viability, the Department’s expertise on this matter must be acknowledged.

Amend Action ii) under Strategy 5g. to give as the example: “Ensure that an adequate area of land is protected for agriculture and related industries”, and include as the indicator: “The area of land protected for agriculture and related industries”.

4. Disability Services Commission

a) People with disabilities represent a major and growing proportion of residents, with approximately one in five people reporting as having some form of disability and many others, family and friends, being affected indirectly.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 6 of 28

The draft strategy is to be commended for recognising and addressing many of the basic needs of people with disabilities. Actions pertaining to housing affordability; providing a range of housing options; the provision of a pedestrian friendly environment, ensuring convenient access between residential areas and services; and ensuring a proportion of housing is built in accord with universal design principles, will all assist people with disabilities and those frail with age, to live independently within their community.

There are a number of other areas where the addition of specific actions in the Smart Strategy would greatly assist the participation and inclusion of people with disabilities in the community. Though these can be addressed within your Disability Service Plan, it is preferred to recognise these needs in all strategic planning. The Disability Service Plan then becomes a means of implementing these strategic objectives.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

b) Equal opportunity for people with disabilities to participate can only come when the community is fully aware and accepting of people with disabilities. The addition of actions under the principle Identity, Equity and Inclusiveness relating to increasing community awareness and valuing differing abilities, similar to your actions to value cultural diversity, would be of great assistance to people with disabilities.

Assessment/recommendation:

While Strategy 4a includes a number of references to making adequate provision for people with disabilities, Action iii) under that Strategy can be expanded to include the specific issue raised in this comment.

Amend Action iii) under Strategy 4a to include reference to increasing community awareness and valuing differing abilities in relation to people with disabilities.

c) Access to private services is another barrier to full inclusion. There are many services, and premises from which private services are conducted, that are not accessible and are not affected by the planning approvals process. Though Wanneroo has no responsibility to enforce their accessibility, it can actively promote access to all private services. There are many examples of Councils providing incentive, encouragement, education and awareness programs for private services to increase access to their services. It would be appreciated if an action relating to encouraging access by all private sector services was added to this plan.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 7 of 28

Inclusion also requires access to a range of leisure and recreation services. The addition of an action in this plan to ensure people with disabilities have access to a range of recreation and leisure services would signify its importance and ensure action is taken to achieve this objective.

Assessment/recommendation:

While various Strategies and Actions under Principle 4 allude to these issues, more specific provision can be readily made.

Amend appropriate Actions under Principle 4 to deal with the issues of access for the disabled to private services, and to leisure and recreation services.

d) Employment and the associated income, networking and acceptance, is important for full inclusion. Most people with disabilities are capable and desire to work. There are, however, numerous barriers, including attitude and beliefs about the employment of people with disabilities. Wanneroo can influence this area by being a model in employing people with disabilities and by providing education to businesses regarding the ability and benefits of employing people with disabilities. The addition of an action to increase the employment opportunities for people with disabilities would contribute immensely towards their inclusion in the community.

Assessment/recommendation:

Include an appropriate Action under Principle 4 to deal with the matter of promoting employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

e) People with disabilities are often not well represented in consultation and decision making. Your strategy to develop a Household Panel will assist greatly if people with disabilities are adequately represented. In addition, it is always useful to have a committee with representation by people with disabilities, to advise the Council on their needs.

Assessment/recommendation:

Include an appropriate Action under Principle 6 to deal with the matter of ensuring that people with disabilities are well represented in consultation and decision making.

5. Office of Equal Opportunity (OEEO)

a) It is a requirement under the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 for all local authorities to prepare and forward to the Director of Equal Opportunity in Public Employment an equal opportunity management plan. The plan can be a ‘stand alone’ instrument, or can be incorporated into broader management or workforce development plans. It would appear from our records that the City of Wanneroo does not have a current EEO and Diversity Management Plan.

It is clear from the structure of the Draft Strategy that the City has placed a deal of importance on equity and diversity in relation to its dealing with its ratepayers. While we acknowledge the thrust of the Smart Growth Strategy is outward looking, we believe it would be entirely appropriate to incorporate – perhaps under Principle 4 – ‘Identity, Equity & Inclusiveness’ – a new section which encompasses equity and diversity as it relates to the staff of the City of Wanneroo. One way of addressing these matters could be via an EEO plan.

Assessment/recommendation:

Being a statutory requirement, an EEO plan needs to be prepared and the City is indeed already making progress on this. In respect to inclusion of a statement in the Smart Growth Strategy to address this, this would be appropriate, but would be better included as an additional Action under Strategy 6d (“by supporting the City’s internal community, our staff”) rather than under Principle 4 as suggested by the OEEO.

Include an additional Action under Strategy 6d, to address the matter of preparation by the City of an equal employment opportunity management plan.

6. Equal Opportunity Commission

a) We have noted that in the population of Wanneroo, you have listed the top three languages spoken (ie Vietnamese 3.76%, Italian 1.84%, Macedonian 1.36%), and indicated that these groups highlight the cultural diversity that characterises your population. Although approximately 2.36% of your population are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, this significant cultural group has not been identified.

Assessment/recommendation:

It would be appropriate to acknowledge the City’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, as suggested.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 9 of 28

Include in the “Facts at a Glance” under section 5.4, a ‘bullet point’ that approximately 2.36% of the City’s population are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

b) We have noted your commitment in relation to identity, equity and inclusiveness by valuing social and cultural diversity in your community. In relation to “valuing social and cultural diversity” we endorse your proposed development of plans (eg Multicultural Plan, Disability Access and Inclusion Plan, Cultural Plan etc). It is assumed that the identity, equity and inclusiveness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders will be incorporated in the Multicultural and Cultural Plans.

Although as previously noted approximately 2.36% of your population are Aboriginal and

Torres Strait Islanders, there are no specific actions or plans addressing this group either in this section or anywhere in your strategy.

In relation to “encouraging and supporting equity for all community members” an action outlined in your strategy identifies raising staff awareness regarding the needs of people with disabilities, and the focus on initiatives for youth (eg p. 32, 35, 36 and 41 of draft strategy). The Commission endorses these actions, but also highlights the importance of raising staff awareness in relation to other equity groups, such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Assessment/recommendation:

Although the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders would be addressed along with all other groups, it would be appropriate to include an Action specific to this group under Principle 4.

Include an Action under Principle 4 which specifically addresses the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

7. Department of Indigenous Affairs

a) The City of Wanneroo appear to have accommodated history and heritage with the smart growth strategy and local planning policy, however, there does not appear to be any reference to Aboriginal heritage within the documents. It is strongly recommended that the City of Wanneroo address Aboriginal heritage within the early stages of any planning and strategy processes. Under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 it is an offence to excavate, destroy or in any way damage or alter an Aboriginal site. In order to avoid any inadvertent disturbance to Aboriginal sites it is recommended that the City of Wanneroo ensure that Aboriginal heritage is addressed during the early stages of planning and development.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 10 of 28

It is further recommended that the City of Wanneroo liaise with the local Aboriginal community in relation to the promotion and protection of Aboriginal heritage sites within the Shire.

Assessment/recommendation:

It would be desirable for Aboriginal heritage issues to be specifically addressed in the Smart Growth Strategy.

Include an appropriate Action under Strategy 4g (By promoting the appreciation and rehabilitation (conservation) of heritage sights) to address the matter of protection and promotion of Aboriginal heritage sites.

8. Lotterywest

a) Lotterywest would like to commend the City of Wanneroo on developing a Strategy to ensure the effective management of sustainable growth of the City for current and future residents. Lotterywest does not have any specific comments on the Strategy but has noted the proposed actions.

For many years Lotterywest has provided significant grant support to the City of Wanneroo and several of its community services. We anticipate a number of proposed actions that may involve requests by the City for complementary grant support from Lotterywest. We encourage you to discuss the planned implementation of these actions, including any proposed Lotterywest support, in the early stages of development to ensure that any grant requests are appropriately targeted and developed.

Assessment of/recommendation on comments:

Note comment.

9. Wanneroo Ratepayers and Residents Association (Inc)

a) The Association is generally very supportive of the initiatives in the draft. However, there is some concern that it may be leading toward infill in older suburbs. It is preferred that the greater choice in housing types should be provided in the new growth areas and along the freeway, railway and other major transport routes. The provision of employment in these new areas should also be encouraged.

Assessment/recommendation:

The proposed Local Housing Strategy will be addressing in greater detail the matter of how greater housing choice may best be facilitated.

ATTACHMENT 1

Provision of employment in new growth areas is a focus of Principle 5 (long term economic health)

Note comments

10. Mr G Westlake, Cheers Community Development Movement, Banksia Grove

Action iv) under Strategy 3c is to “Promote and support GreenSmart programme to residents and builders”.

This section of the smart growth policy is far too weak. “GreenSmart” is not a strong enough standard, and “information” should be legislation.

Why not raise the standard higher than GreenSmart, and then let others contend to lower it? Local councils must go much further than the GreenSmart accreditation requirements if they are to genuinely prepare infrastructure for the future. This is about much more than merely insulation and building materials (=GreenSmart). It’s about the very floor plans of houses, and street layouts of developments having to comply with solar effective design. Both are the domains of local councils. And there is absolutely no reason to hold back.

It has previously been indicated by the City that cost is the primary factor prohibiting going further with energy efficient housing design. However, it is contended that cost is, in fact, a primary reason to go further with energy efficient housing design. We ourselves have built this way using the cheap-end package homebuilders. It certainly can be done within budget. There is a way – all it takes is the will. And even if any extra is spent now on ensuring that buildings face north properly, and that the pad keeps cool in summer and warm in winter, it will be money quickly recouped within a few years in energy savings. Thereafter the energy savings will only increase with the costs of energy supply. This should be sufficient reason in itself to enforce solar effective design.

The other primary reason to enforce solar effective design in the bylaws is that there are too many voices in the scientific community to be ignored, predicting climate change, water shortage, and the need to preserve energy resources. Yet I am still not aware of any government initiative to reconfigure our city infrastructures to prepare for these shortages, before our existing infrastructures (including most homes) become unliveable. So meanwhile, surely one simple and effective step in the right direction is to legislate to make all future building projects solar passive. This falls to the Councils.

As soon as the City of Wanneroo legislates this, building developers will offer cost effective designs to meet the standards. But it is undeniably up to the City of Wanneroo to raise the standard. And surely Smart Growth is the document to raise it.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 12 of 28

Assessment/recommendation:

a) The concerns raised are acknowledged, however the Smart Growth Strategy includes provision for them to be addressed through Action i) under Strategy 3c, which relates to the introduction of the Smart Growth Assessment Tool (SGAT). This Action presently refers to SGAT being applied to ‘development applications’. It would be preferable for this to be changed to ‘planning and building applications’ to reflect the fact that phase 1 of the SGAT project is dealing with Structure Plan and subdivision applications (which are ‘planning’ applications) and phase 2 is intended to deal with development and building applications (with ‘development’ also being covered by the term ‘planning’).

Note comment and amend Action i) and the related example under Strategy 3c to refer to ‘planning and building applications’ rather than ‘development applications’.

11. Masterplan Town Planning Consultants (on behalf of Zebra Properties and P & N Landreach Pty Ltd)

a) The Draft Strategy/Policy refers to its key implementation mechanism as the Smart Growth Assessment Tool. In addition the documentation also makes reference to the Smart Growth Technical Manual.

Given the wide range of elements contained within the Smart Growth Strategy approach, the inclusion of the Smart Growth Assessment Tool and Smart Growth Technical Manual is applauded and is considered absolutely necessary to enable stakeholders, not just City officers, to have the ability to operate within the Smart Growth framework effectively. More than ever, this emphasises the need for the Smart Growth Assessment Tool and Smart Growth Technical Manual to be in place upon adoption of any measures to implement Smart Growth.

Both the Smart Growth Assessment Tool and the Smart Growth Technical Manual (as well as other integral components such as the proposed Local Housing Strategy) should be made available in draft form for review and comment by all stakeholders and only upon completion of this process, should be included as part of the Smart Growth Policy and Strategy documentation and that documentation adopted for implementation.

If this process is not followed, project proponents will be placed in the difficult position of being asked to lodge proposals for assessment against Smart Growth criteria and City officers required to enforce Smart Growth initiatives, while the necessary technical guidance and tools to undertake this task are not available. This will threaten the credibility of the Smart Growth approach.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 13 of 28

Aside from generic statements included in the Strategy and Policy, there is little detail to guide planning for projects and how these matters will be assessed by the City as part of its Smart Growth process. This lack of definition is likely to result in confusion between proponents and the City and complicate the development approval process, the expected result being significant delays in securing approvals within the City.

It is our understanding the Smart Growth Technical Manual will provide the technical guidance to the assessment of development proposals under the Smart Growth Assessment Tool to achieve the objectives under the Smart Growth strategic approach. This is a sensible and logical approach to implementing this Strategy. However, successful implementation will only be possible once all the building blocks for this Strategy are in place and therefore, the Policy should not be adopted and implemented in the absence of these important elements.

We request the City in response to this submission advise how, once the Smart Growth Policy has been adopted as proposed, a land development proposal will be assessed for compliance with the Smart Growth Policy and Strategy in the absence of the Smart Growth Assessment Tool and Technical Manual.

Assessment/recommendation:

The points raised in response to the desirability of having the SGAT in place concurrent with the finalisation of the Smart Growth Strategy and the Smart Growth Policy are considered valid and have led to the current process of progressing these initiatives in parallel.

A submission has recently been received from the Urban Development Institute of Australia on the draft SGAT (and is the subject of a separate report to this meeting of Council). This has argued for the initial implementation of SGAT on a trial basis, to structure plans where the developers involved are wishing to participate in such a trial. This approach is considered to have merit.

In respect to the proposed Smart Growth Technical Manual, this is envisaged to be more of an internal administrative matter aimed at progressing implementation of the various Actions included in Strategy and the aligning of the City’s overall strategic, policy and regulatory framework with the Smart Growth Strategy. It is therefore the SGAT which is the key mechanism to be in place to facilitate effective application of the Smart Growth Strategy and related policy to planning proposals.

In respect to the proposed Local Housing Strategy, this impacts mainly on the proposed SGAT and in this regard, the aim in preparing the SGAT has been to have it ready for use as soon as possible, having regard for the need for adequate consultation to be undertaken.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 14 of 28

This has meant that the draft SGAT has had to draw on the best information available at the time and it being acknowledged that as improved information becomes available over time, such as through finalisation of the Local Housing Strategy, then the SGAT shall be progressively refined.

Seek concurrent implementation of the Smart Growth Strategy, Smart Growth Local Planning Policy, and SGAT, however with the SGAT being implemented on a trial basis in respect to Structure Plan applications where there is substantial support from the developers concerned for participating in such a trial.

b) We note that the Smart Growth Policy and Strategy documentation itself acknowledges that many of the items sought to be applied by the City under this approach will require consideration to identify their compatibility and compliance with other statutory requirements, particularly those of the Western Australian Planning Commission.

We are concerned that until this process has been worked through, there is substantial potential for proponents being required by the City to undertake certain actions to secure land development approval support which may, in fact, contradict WAPC expectations.

The co-ordination of Smart Growth with the development control requirements of other Agencies should be secured prior to its adoption and implementation.

Assessment/recommendation:

The Smart Growth Strategy and SGAT is being prepared in consultation with all relevant agencies, including the WA Planning Commission.

Note comment.

c) We are concerned that many of the elements raised in the Smart Growth documentation appear to be designed to promote the introduction of funding contributions by development proponents in order to secure approval against various Smart Growth criteria, that is, de factor Development Levy. This is unacceptable and at the very least, further explanation of this aspect is required to justify its inclusion, particularly given the State Government’s recent investigations specifically into the question of the legitimacy of development levies.

Assessment/recommendation:

Any ‘development levies’ would need to be introduced through the statutory planning framework with all its associated checks and balances and requirements for openness and accountability.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 15 of 28

Action i) under Strategy 2d (“Establish minimum infrastructure and secure standards for new developments in consultation with the WA State Government”) acknowledges the need for involvement by the relevant State agencies and the example given under this Action refers to seeking amendment of the WA Planning Commission’s policy on developer contributions.

Action ii) under Strategy 4d (“Encourage longer term support for communities after developers move on”) gives, as an example, the use of the ‘community chest’ concept, where developers and the local government jointly contribute toward facility and service provision. Such initiatives generally occur on a mutually agreed basis and are often initiated by the developer.

Note comment.

d) It is noted that for many of the strategies outlined in the Policy the term “encourage” or “promote” is used. Further clarification is required from the City of Wanneroo in this regard. Many of these strategies which are “promoted” or encouraged” under the Strategy are not identified as compulsory, therefore do they or do they not need to be included as part of a local structure plan or land development proposal in order to secure approval for that proposal from the City? If particular strategies “promote/encouraged” under the Policy are not provided, will a proponent be penalised?

Assessment/recommendation:

While this comment refers to the policy, it is also relevant to the draft strategy. The issue of ‘enforcement’ of the Strategy and Policy requirements through SGAT in respect to planning applications is dealt with in the separate report on SGAT. In short, in respect to both Structure Plans and subdivision applications, the City has discretion to determine if it considers the application is satisfactory or not, and the SGAT will assist in making that determination.

Note comment.

e) If the proposed implementation of Smart Growth is understood correctly, a proposal will be assessed against the Smart Growth Assessment Tool which will score the proposal across all the strategies promoted. Will this enable some strategies to be included while others may not, but still allow a development project to achieve an appropriate Smart Growth score and therefore secure approval? If this is correct, the overriding significance of the Smart Growth Assessment Tool is again emphasised.

Assessment/recommendation:

SGAT involves consideration of all Smart Growth Strategies.

12. Masterplan Town Planning Consultants (on behalf of W R Carpenter Landholdings Pty Ltd.)

a) Comments previously submitted on the initial draft Strategy and Policy are still considered to be valid.

Assessment/recommendation:

Comments previously submitted have been previously considered by Council.

Note comment.

b) Similar comments as have been made in submission no. 11.

Assessment/recommendation:

Recommendation on comments as per submission No. 11.

c) Action 1a.ii) seeking to encourage a variety of housing choices in urban and rural locations, provides as an example of how this will be achieved, the application of the R-Codes as a minimum and/or split, rather than maximum development density level.

The City is requested to provide an explanation of this proposed approach. What does it mean by the “minimum” and/or split application of the R-Codes, and what will the implication of this be for land development proposals? Furthermore, how does this relate to the Residential Design Codes as written in the current State Planning Policy, and the application of those codes by the Western Australian Planning Commission? Will this require a variation to the codes and as such, would this not have to be adopted via an Amendment to the District Planning Scheme, rather than within policy? The answers to these specific queries are requested in response to this submission.

Assessment/recommendation:

Meaning of “minimum”: For example, if an area is coded R20 under the present planning system, a maximum of 20 dwelling units per net residential hectare may be developed within that area.

Under the “minimum” approach, at least 20 dwelling units per net residential hectare would be required to be developed in that area.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 17 of 28

Meaning of “split application” of the R Codes: The “split coding” approach presented in the draft Local Housing Strategy means coding an area say R20/R40. In the absence of an approved Structure Plan, ‘block’ or ‘local area’ plan demonstrating how the area can be developed at a density of higher than R20, then R20 is the maximum density applied. However, with the approval of such plans, R40 becomes the maximum density permissible.

Implication of this for land development proposals: In the case of “minimum” R Codes, a requirement for minimum densities to be achieved. In the case of split codes, potential for higher densities to be provided.

Relationship to Residential Design Codes: This is likely to require changes to the Codes as well as District Planning Scheme No. 2. The review of Liveable Neighbourhoods is also proposing mechanisms for requiring achievement of minimum densities and this Action should be considered along with those other proposed mechanisms.

Note comment and forward above answers to questions to the submittor.

d) Action 1b.iii) introduces as an action, working with stakeholders to promote an adequate supply of affordable housing, with the example given relating to working with Government land and housing agencies to secure this objective. Will the application of this objective relate only to Government agencies, or will the City seek to apply this as a requirement to private land developers under the Smart Growth approach? Further clarity is required from the City in this regard.

Assessment/recommendation:

The draft SGAT and the draft Local Housing Strategy also seek to apply the requirement for housing affordability to private developers.

Note comment.

e) Action 2a.i) relates to guiding the future form and density of housing and provides as the example of achieving this Smart Growth Action, the implementation of the Local Housing Strategy. What happens to land development proposals or applications prepared and submitted prior to completion of the Local Housing Strategy?

Assessment/recommendation:

This Action is provided for in SGAT and should be able to be implemented prior to the finalisation of the Local Housing Strategy.

Note comment.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 18 of 28

f) Action 2a.iii) encourages higher densities around key facilities, with specific reference to coastal node developments as an example. The intent of this approach is acknowledged, although it should be applied on a site by site basis on the merits of each site and in recognition of the nature of those sites.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

g) Action 2a.iv) states “form partnerships to share resources in the provision of key infrastructure” with an example being the cost sharing of development of public space and community facilities, with a measurement indicator as to its compliance with the Smart Growth approach being the percentage of new developments that are subject to partnership agreements.

The City is requested to confirm whether such agreements will be a standard requirement for approval under the Smart Growth approach (Strategy/Policy) or whether this will be a voluntary matter for development proponents. If securing approval for a development proposal under Smart Growth is dependant upon committing to these agreements, then such agreements have the potential to assume the status of a de facto developer levy. Please confirm if this is in fact the case.

Assessment/recommendation:

Such partnership arrangements are envisaged to be the subject of negotiation between the parties concerned, with mutual agreement being sought.

Note comment.

h) This theme is continued under Action 2d.i) which promotes increased developer contributions for infrastructure, ie a development levy, to provide community infrastructure and facilities.

Given the State Government’s recent investigations into the application of development levies and its apparent decision not to pursue this approach, the City’s attempt to introduce such levies under cover of its Smart Growth Strategy must be questioned. We also seek clarification from the City as to the statutory basis which it will apply in seeking to force development proponents to pay this additional levy.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 19 of 28

Assessment/recommendation:

While it is presently unclear as to whether the State Government will respond (at the Parliamentary level) to the report of the Public Accounts Committee on this matter (“Inquiry into Developer Contributions for Costs Associated with Land Development”, Report No. 8, 2004), the issue of developer contributions is being actively considered by Government through recommendations on this matter included in the Network City report. Developer contributions would be sought through the statutory planning system.

Note comment.

i) Action 2d.ii) states “require developers to be responsible for the cost of service and infrastructure above the minimum standard”. Again, further clarification is requested if such an item is to be a criteria against which qualification for approval under a Smart Growth Policy/Strategy is to be assessed. Clarity should also be provided as to what the minimum standard is. If it is the City of Wanneroo’s desire that future residential communities should be designed only to the minimum standard, then use of such an approach will surely be successful in promoting this outcome.

Assessment/recommendation:

The draft SGAT does not include a criterion which relates to this Action. The minimum standard would be established under Action 2d.i).

Note comment.

j) Action 2d.iv) states as an action “to discourage non-frontal development unless justified by significant net public benefit”. The strategy fails to define what it means by non-frontal development. Development can be occurring within the same region on several development fronts, all with a genuine foundation justifying such development.

There is also no definition of “significant net public benefit”. The failure of the Strategy and Policy to fully define many of its most integral elements continues to demonstrate that its adoption prior to completion of all the work necessary to fully formulate the Smart Growth approach, is premature.

Assessment/recommendation:

The relevant criterion under the draft SGAT is “Is the Structure Plan consistent with MDP (Metropolitan Development Program) program and location for future growth?” This criterion would generally need to be jointly addressed with the WA Planning Commission and would entail considerations of frontal versus non-frontal and public benefits involved.

Note comments.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 20 of 28

k) Action 2e.i) to encourage developments that are compact and easy to navigate is acknowledged, as is the example and indicator under this Action, being provision of a predominantly grid based system. The Smart Growth approach should, however, also recognise that depending upon the nature of the subject land, other design approaches may be more appropriate. This is evidenced by Action 2e.iv) which promotes as much as possible the retention of natural landform features. The retention of such features often conflicts with the ability to achieve the ideal of a grid based system.

Assessment/recommendation:

This is a valid comment.

Amend the example given under Action 2e.i) to include: “Subject to topographic suitability…”

l) Action 3a.vii) refers to the creation of a network of trails and greenbelts to improve the connectivity of conservation areas. Further clarity is required re the implications of this for future local structure plans. Will the successful adoption of an LSP be dependent upon provision of such networks and what will be the criteria to determine whether such a network is justified and where it should go?

Assessment/recommendation:

The draft SGAT includes a criterion relating to this Action. It is envisaged that the nature of what should be provided will need to be determined on a case-by-case basis, given the variability of existing and potential conservation areas across the City.

Note comment.

m) Action 4c.ii) states “build community meeting places” as its action, with the indicator being the percentage of structure plans incorporating community meeting places. How will this affect applications for local structure planning approval with the City and its approval? Will a failure to provide “community meeting places” result in the proposal not being supported by the City? How exactly is a “community meeting place” defined? How many are required, over what sort of area?

The Smart Growth Strategy as advertised is generating more questions than answers and, rather than provide increased certainty for assessors, proponents, and the community, will, in fact, introduce greater uncertainty until such times as the cohesive strategy approach and all the required background work is formulated.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 21 of 28

Assessment/recommendation:

While the draft SGAT does presently not include a criterion specific to this Action, it does include a criterion of “To what level does the Structure Plan maximise opportunities to facilitate/enhance a ‘sense of place’ and ‘neighbourliness’. It could be expected that the issue of provision of community meeting places would be addressed under this criterion and that it would thereby be considered in respect to Local Structure Plan applications. This would be expected to involve assessment on a case-by-case basis, having regard for the variability of community and geographic types.

Note comment.

n) Action 4d.ii) again seeks to introduce a development levy under the umbrella of the Smart Growth approach. This action states “encourage longer term support for communities after developers move on” and promotes “developers contributing to a community chest to provide a source of funds for future needs in the community”. Will this be a requirement in order to secure a local structure plan approval from the City of Wanneroo? Will a LSP not be supported if such a levy is not paid?

Assessment/recommendation:

This matter was addressed under point c) of Submission 11.

Note comment.

13. Woodsome Management Pty Ltd (on behalf of Landcorp and Eglinton Estates Pty Ltd.)

a) We are supportive of the principles outlined in the Smart Growth Strategy and believe there is a strong synergy in the philosophy underpinning the Alkimos-Eglinton Masterplan and the Strategy.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

b) We feel there is a need for clarification on the detail of certain actions and their implementation. For instance, the Strategy refers to “universal urban design principles” and suggests these should apply through all planning within the City, although does not identify what they are.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 22 of 28

Assessment/recommendation:

Action 1b.iv) refers to universal design principles in house design. These principles are intended to facilitate use of buildings and indeed all places by people with disabilities. A definition would be appropriate.

Include a definition of ‘universal design principles’ under Action 1b.iv)

c) The Strategy discourages “non-frontal” development, however, in reality development through the Alkimos-Eglinton region in a number of different fronts will promote diversity and choice – key outcomes of the Strategy. Some of these development fronts will be “non-frontal”.

Assessment/recommendation:

It is acknowledged that the development of new residential areas on the periphery of the City generally always involves actually a number of ‘mini’ fronts (some more distant from the main developed urban area than others), rather than a neat, single, continuous front. This will present difficulties for deciding what is frontal and what is non-frontal. It will most likely be addressed through the related criterion in the draft SGAT, which is whether the proposal is consistent with the Metropolitan Development Program, or not.

Note comment.

14. Australian Association of Planning Consultants, WA Division

The Association supports the proposed Smart Growth strategic approach and is keen to contribute to its development. However, the Strategy and association policy should not be implemented until the SGAT and other integral components have been released for comment.

Assessment/recommendation:

It is now proposed that the Strategy, Policy and SGAT be progressed as a package.

Note comments.

15. Property Council of Australia

a) In preparing the Strategy, it is important that it be fully integrated with strategies of the other two tiers of government. You would be aware that developers already face a confusing array of State Government instrumentalities with interests in the built environment, and land forms, that impose a raft of different requirements on developers.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 23 of 28

Obviously, the strategy must complement and where appropriate integrate with the requirements of other policies, plans and strategies which impact on subdivision and development applications.

Assessment/recommendation:

The Strategy and SGAT are being prepared in consultation with the relevant government agencies.

Note comment.

b) The Smart Growth strategy must ensure that it does not simply impose another layer of regulation. There are a number of proposals in the strategy which could cause delays in approvals and give local government officers the power to impose unreasonable conditions that do not meed the needs of residents. By way of example, we cite the examples of the Local Housing Strategy that can prescribe lot sizes, requirement to nurture ‘local identity”, and the Local Environment strategies which can prescribe new trails and greenbelts (which may be yet another requirement on developers). We believe that there is already an increasingly strong commercial imperative for developers to create attractive, liveable and sustainable neighbourhoods without Government intervention or mandated requirements or guidelines.

We are concerned about the prospect of prescriptive outcomes for development in Wanneroo. While in a strong property market this might not have a highly visible impact on growth, in a weaker market a prescriptive regulatory environment will deter investment in your local area.

An overly prescriptive approach also limits developers’ ability to meet changing consumer demands. Consumers’ demands and tastes for residential accommodation and their local communities are rapidly changing, which in turn drive residential offerings by developers. By imposing a highly prescribed form of residential or other property product, the City of Wanneroo is liable to restrict the choice of consumers and will ultimately reduce residential product variety in Western Australia.

Prescriptive approaches also infringe property owners’ existing rights. Property rights have historically allowed people to develop and enjoy the fruits of their labours, and are fundamental to the existence of a developed society. Unfortunately, excessive Government intrusions on property owners has resulted in a gradual erosion of property ownership rights over recent decades in Western Australia. The City of Wanneroo’s Smart Growth draft strategy should acknowledge that the strategy should encourage home ownership and seek to protect existing owners’ rights wherever possible.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 24 of 28

Assessment/recommendation:

The Strategy, and particularly through its implementation through the SGAT, will be aiming to work within the existing regulatory system rather than introduce additional levels of regulation.

The Strategy encourages diversity, rather than seeking prescribed uniformity, and in respect to the housing market, will be encouraging diversity rather than the uniformity in

product which the market has tended to produce. The Strategy does not seek any infringement of property rights.

Note comment.

c) We would be interested in further advice on how the Council intends to:

· Apply the R Codes as a minimum rather than a maximum (Page 18); and

· Work with stakeholders to promote an adequate supply of affordable housing (page 18)

Assessment/recommendation:

Regarding “minimum” R Codes, this is addressed in point c) of Submission 12.

The Draft Local Housing Strategy will address the matter of promotion of affordable housing.

Note comment.

d) One of the elements of the draft strategy is to “Require developers to be responsible for the cost of services and infrastructure above the minimum standard”.

We are concerned that the strategy will seek to shift costs from Government to land owners for infrastructure. We see this as a potentially counterproductive step. We understand the pressures on local governments to meet increasing community standards. However, there are better ways of addressing infrastructure deficits.

Previous generations have enjoyed the use of Government debt to fund ‘soft’ infrastructure. This should not end. The Property Council of Australia believes that developer levies are bad public policy. They directly threaten jobs, investment and housing affordability in Western Australia. There is a better way to fund public infrastructure – and that is through Government debt.

ATTACHMENT 1

Government borrowing delivers infrastructure up front and spreads cost across time, in line with the benefits that accrue as a result of the infrastructure. This ‘buy now – pay later’ factor means that the cost of investing in infrastructure is not only shared across the entire community, but also across generations. This intergeneration effect is extremely efficient and fair.

We add that the strategy mentions the amendment of DPI bulletin 18 to increase the opportunity for developer contributions to infrastructure. If this is progressed, there should be incentives for excellence in development. By example an environmentally sensitive development that draws less upon infrastructure should be rewarded by less developer contributions or rates.

Assessment/recommendation:

The Strategy does not preclude the possibility of borrowing, should this be preferred by the City in some instances.

Note comment.

Internal Submissions

Submission 1

a) On page 10, for second bullet point under “Smart Growth is about:”, change to “Growth that is managed through effective and efficient planning and use of both natural and built resources”. For fourth bullet point, add “valuing” before “protecting”.

Assessment/recommendation:

This wording would be an improvement on that presently given.

Amend wording accordingly.

b) On pages 12 and 31, the brief explanation of what Principle 4 is basically about only refers to identity. It could be improved by adding after ‘people’: “…, and improve equity and inclusiveness within local communities”.

Assessment/recommendation:

The suggested additional wording would be an improvement.

Amend wording accordingly.

c) On page 20, (1^st para), ‘land’ is included as ‘infrastructure’.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 26 of 28

Assessment/recommendation:

Amend relevant section to read: “…gain the best results from the use of land and from new and existing infrastructure (eg roads, buildings)”

d) On page 25 (2^nd para.), suggest deletion of reference to ‘on one hand’ and ‘on the other hand’.

Assessment/recommendation:

The ‘hands’ phrase is not appropriate in this context.

Amend text to delete reference to ‘hands’.

e) Action 3a vii): The proposed indicator of ‘mapped native vegetation extent (hectares)’ will not measure the implementation of the Action concerned. Suggest ‘Number of Significant Ecological Linkages provided’.

Assessment/recommendation:

The recommended new Indicator would be more appropriate.

Amend text accordingly.

f) Regarding Strategy 3d concerning waste management, something should be included here to promote community (including business and industry) education on waste minimisation. The heart of the problem should be tackled. Recycling and using recycled materials does not address the problem of excessive production of waste in the first place.

Assessment/recommendation:

This is considered a valid point and should be addressed.

Amend Action 3d.ii) to inclusion consideration of this matter.

g) Action 4a.ii) refers to ‘other’ cultures, suggesting an ‘us and them’ approach which is contrary to the sentiment of this strategy. Suggest ‘diverse’ instead.

Assessment /recommendation:

Valid point and should be changed.

Amend Action 4a.ii) accordingly.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 27 of 28

Submission 2:

a) While Action 1b.iii) currently deals with promotion of an adequate supply of affordable housing, it may also be desirable to have an Action to “Ensure an adequate available vacant lot stock”. Controlling lot production is a prime means of controlling land prices – the factor that has pushed housing beyond the reach of many. While the superficial vacant lot stock may look good, when you look at how many have been sold and how many have building licences approved, the number actually available for sale is a fraction of the initial figure.

For example, around June of last year, while there was approximately 5,200 vacant lots in this City, only about 700 of them would have actually been on the market available for sale.

Assessment/recommendation:

While the issue of affordable housing is addressed by Action 1b.iii), it would be desirable to include an Action on the matter of affordable land.

Include an Action with appropriate Example and Indicator under Strategy 1b. to deal with the matter of promoting residential land affordability through ensuring an adequate available vacant lot stock.

b) Suggest an Action be included regarding provision of adequate suitable located child care centre sites. These could be ceded to the City (like parks, drains etc) as an essential part of modern living requirements. The City could then lease them to operators. The main aim would be to have them located to suit public transport, access and demand rather than have developers buy multiple house lots in not so suitable locations and amalgamate them.

Assessment/recommendation:

Strategy 4h. involves the promotion of the provision of community facilities and services that meet the needs of the community, and several Actions are included under the Strategy which should cover the matter of adequate provision of child care centres. However, the issue raised is considered a valid one and will be considered further by the relevant City directorates.

ATTACHMENT 1

Note comment.

c) The performance of subdivision designs against the Liveable Neighbourhoods objectives should be regularly evaluated, particularly to assess if rear lane based subdivisions are really working adequately or whether there may be better and cheaper ways of achieving the relevant objectives.

Assessment/recommendation:

Liveable Neighbourhoods is periodically reviewed and this includes consideration of how subdivisions built under that code are performing. For the recent review of Liveable Neighbourhoods, the issue of performance of rear lane based subdivisions was drawn to the attention of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure.

Note comment.

Submission 3:

a) For Strategy 4g. (“By promoting the appreciation and rehabilitation of heritage sites”), ‘conservation’ is the more correct term to use rather than ‘rehabilitation’. As environmental/bush care is covered elsewhere, there is no need for a more ‘universal’ term to be used.

Assessment/recommendation:

Comment is valid.

Amend Strategy 4g. accordingly.

Issue

To consider submissions received on the draft Smart Growth Local Planning Policy and a proposed final Policy.

Background

At its meeting of 21 September 2004 (item CE07-09/04), Council resolved to adopt, pursuant to Clause 8.11.3 of City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2), a draft Smart Growth Local Planning Policy and to advertise it for submissions for a period of 42 days.

Detail

The four week comment period concluded on 16 November 2004. The draft Policy was advertised concurrently with the revised draft Smart Growth Strategy and as the draft Policy essentially is based upon all the principles of the draft Smart Growth Strategy, and the Strategies and Actions of the draft Smart Growth Strategy which are of a policy nature, submissions on those elements of the draft Strategy have been regarded as also submissions on those same elements of the draft Policy, even though not always explicitly submitted as such.

Consultation

The draft policy was publicised jointly with and in the same manner as the draft Smart Growth Strategy, which is the subject of a separate report to this meeting of Council.

Comment

The changes which would be needed to the draft Policy arising from the assessment of submissions contained in the report on the Smart Growth Strategy (which is also being considered at this meeting of Council) relate to the following items in part 1. of the recommendation provided in that report: a), c), d), e), f), g), i), j), k), m), s), t), u) and v). (The submissions which these changes stem from are indicated in the brackets following each item). More detail regarding these changes is provided in the Recommendation section of this report.

The recommended final policy is shown in Attachment 1. This shows the recommended changes arising from the assessment of submissions as ‘tracked changes’.

The report on the Smart Growth Assessment Tool (SGAT) being considered at this Council meeting recommends that the Policy include reference to the SGAT. An appropriate change to the Policy is therefore recommended.

Statutory Compliance

The draft Policy has been advertised in compliance with Clause 8.11.3 of DPS2 and the recommendation of this report also complies with the provisions of that Clause.

In respect to statutory implementation of the Smart Growth Strategy, it may be noted that at its meeting of 21 September 2004 (item CE07-09/04), Council resolved to endorse the initiation of an amendment to DPS2 to give effect to the Strategy, and to a review of DPS2 to more fully take account of the Strategy as well as other significant planning initiatives affecting the City. Upon adoption of the final Strategy and Policy, a DPS2 amendment will be drafted and presented to Council for consideration.

Strategic Implications

The Policy is strongly linked to the City’s four strategic goals of its Strategic Plan and to the proposed Smart Growth Strategy, and will give effect to those goals and the Strategy.

Policy Implications

This involves the adoption of a new Local Planning Policy by Council.

Financial Implications

Recommendation

That Council FINALLY ADOPTS the draft Smart Growth Local Planning Policy as a final Policy, subject to the following modifications being made, and as detailed in Attachment 1:

1. In 3c.i), ‘development’ being changed to ‘planning and building’.

2. The strategies under Principle 4 being amended as follows:

a) in 4a.i) changing ‘other’ to ‘diverse’

b) 4a.ii) including reference to increasing community awareness and valuing differing abilities in relation to people with disabilities;

c) address the issue of access for the disabled to private services, and to leisure and recreation services;

d) address the issue of promoting employment opportunities for people with disabilities;

e) address the issue of adequate provision for the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders;

f) in 4g) addressing the matter of protection and promotion of Aboriginal heritage sites;

g) in 4g) changing ‘rehabilitation’ to ‘conservation’

3. 5g. including the following:

“i) working with the Department of Agriculture to facilitate opportunities such as the production of fresh food, export development opportunities and agri-tourism, where appropriate;

ii) supporting the sustainable development and management of agriculture in conjunction with agricultural industry groups, the Department of Agriculture and other groups;

iii) promoting integration of waste management systems including composting and the use of recycled water”

4. The Strategies under Principle 6 being amended to deal with the matter of ensuring that people with disabilities are well represented in consultation and decision making.

5. Reference being included to the Smart Growth Assessment Tool such that for an initial trial period, the application of the Policy to Structure Plan proposals will generally be through the Smart Growth Assessment Tool, in the case of Structure Plans where there is substantial support by the developer involved for participating in such a trial.

Issue

To consider submissions received on the draft Smart Growth Assessment Tool (SGAT) and a proposed final SGAT.

Background

At its meeting of 15 March 2005 (item GS05-03/05), Council approved the release of the draft SGAT for public submissions for a period of four weeks.

Detail

The draft SGAT was advertised initially for a four week period to conclude on 26 April 2005. This was subsequently extended to 13 May 2005 upon a request made by the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA).

Ten (10) submissions have been received from external stakeholders, and one (1) comment received from within City Administration.

Consultation

The draft SGAT has been publicised as follows:

· Advertisement in the local newspapers

· Information placed on the City’s website, at the Customer Service Counter at the City Administration Centre and at all City libraries.

· Letters sent to all those who had made submissions on the draft Smart Growth Strategy

· Letters sent to the main community/residents organisations, relevant government agencies and other service providers, and major developers within the City.

· Briefings provided to the Environmental Advisory Committee and developers (upon request), including the UDIA and the Australian Association of Planning Consultants. The draft SGAT was also brought to the attention of all City Administration and comments invited.

Comment

Attachment 1 provides a summary of the submissions received, an assessment of the comments made, and a recommendation concerning each comment.

As a result of the above assessment, the following changes are recommended to the draft SGAT:

1. Use of terminology regarding accessibility preferred by the Disability Services Commission (sub. 2; b))

2. Inclusion of a measure which requires a number of houses, other than those in aged care facilities, to be built to universal design principles (sub . 2; c))

3. Possible increasing of aged/disabled housing target figures, subject to further investigation of this with DSC (sub.2; d))

4. Measures relating to planning for community facilities to refer to universally accessible facilities (sub. 2; e))

5. The criteria for consistency with a Disability Access Plan at Local Structure Plan level to be the same as that for subdivision level, and also that the plans be required to be consistent with the City’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (sub. 2; f))

6. The SGAT explanatory report delete the proposal for different map scales to be used for District and Local Structure plans as compared to those currently generally used (sub. 3; o))

7. In strategy 4g, replace “rehabilitation” with “conservation” (internal sub. 1; a))

A number of other recommendations are made arising from assessment of the submissions:

1. SGAT should initially be applied to Structure Plans on a trial basis, and only to those Structure Plans which are involving substantial support by developers who are wishing to participate in such a trial. Improvements should be made to SGAT which becomes evident during the course of the trial and a full review undertaken at the conclusion of the trial. (sub.6; b), sub.7;b), sub.8;b))

2. Application of SGAT to subdivision applications should be deferred pending completion of the trial on Structure Plans (sub.6;b), sub.7;c))

3. The proposed Smart Growth Local Planning Policy and the proposed amendment to City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 to implement the Smart Growth Strategy should include reference to SGAT (sub. 3; a))

4. A policy should be prepared to guide what scale of project, including what types of subdivision applications, particularly in respect to size (number of lots), should be subject to the SGAT (sub. 3; e) and 8;e)).

5. A list of definitions should be prepared for the terms used in the SGAT which may be subject to some uncertainty as to intended meaning and that this be expanded as necessary given experience gained through commencement of application of the SGAT (sub. 3; q))

6. Masterplan consultants should be advised regarding Council’s resolution of 26 April 2005 regarding the application of the SGAT to the St Andrews District Concept Plan (sub. 3; s))

At its meeting of 12 May 2005, the Smart Growth Steering Committee considered a report which assessed the submissions which had been received at that time, being the first five external submissions and the single internal submission. The Committee resolved to recommend to Council that the SGAT be finalised, subject to the first seven specific changes (i to vii) listed in point 1 of this report’s recommendation, and subject to such other changes which may be appropriate arising from consideration of:

· Submissions received after the Committee meeting;

· A final workshop to be held between City officers and Syme Marmion consultants on 16 May 2005;

· An independent evaluation of SGAT to be commissioned by Syme Marmion as part of their current contract with the City.

The Committee also recommended generally as per points 4. to 7. of this report’s recommendation.

Five further submissions have been received and assessed (nos. 6 to 10). Submission No. 6 from the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) is of particular note and Elected Member’s attention is especially drawn to the assessment and recommendations made in Attachment No. 1 of this report, in respect to that submission. The key recommendations arising from this are that the SGAT be initially trialled through application to Structure Plans when there is substantial support from the developers involved to participate in such a trial and that application of SGAT to subdivision applications be deferred pending completion of the trial of these Structure Plans.

Arising from the workshop with Syme Marmion on 16 May 2005, some further improvements have been made to the Local Structure Plan level of SGAT, and the resulting District and Local Structure Plan levels of SGAT have been separately provided to Elected Members.

Regarding the independent evaluation of SGAT to be commissioned by Syme Marmion, arrangements are now being made for this to be undertaken. However, whereas the intent had previously been that this would be prepared prior to Council consideration of finalisation of SGAT (at least for trialling purposes), it is now intended that this be prepared during the course of the trial. This will enable the evaluators to obtain a clearer understanding of the nature of the SGAT through participating in some elements of the trial and their assessment can assist in identifying possible areas for improvement during the course of the trial and at the time of main review at the trial’s conclusion.

Statutory Compliance

In respect to Structure Plans, under Clause 9.4 of DPS2, Council is required to determine whether a proposed Structure Plan submitted to it for approval under DPS2 is satisfactory or not. The SGAT will be an aid for Council in determining this. It is proposed that the SGAT be referred to in the proposed Smart Growth Local Planning Policy and this will provide some further statutory basis to SGAT in the short term.

In respect to subdivision applications, these are referred by the WAPC to local governments for comment and recommendations. The SGAT will similarly be an aid for the City in doing this, with it being noted that the City will need to comply with timeframes imposed by the WAPC for responding to its referrals.

Strategic Implications

The SGAT will play an important role in achieving the vision of the Strategic Plan. In order for the City to achieve its vision of being a vibrant centre of creative growth known for the quality of lifestyle choices and development patterns, which enhance sustainability, Council decided to develop a comprehensive Smart Growth Strategy.

This strategy provides a commitment to integrate the three pillars of sustainability in a growth environment through the development of strategies underlined by the following six key Smart Growth principles:

1. Lifestyle and Housing Choice

2. Effective use of Land and Infrastructure

3. Long Term Health of the Environment

4. Identity, Equity and Inclusiveness

5. Long Term Economic Health

6. People and Government.

The SGAT provides a means of assessing the impact of growth against the City’s Strategic Plan and Smart Growth Strategy.

Policy Implications

The SGAT incorporates current relevant Council policies.

As part of an implementation process for SGAT, it is intended that the proposed Smart Growth Policy include reference to the use of SGAT as a key means of implementing the Smart Growth Strategy.

Financial Implications

The Syme Marmion consultancy work is funded from current budget provision.

The cost of the ‘independent evaluation’ of SGAT to be commissioned by Syme Marmion is to be met by Syme Marmion as part of their current contract with the City.

Once finalised and implemented, SGAT will be able to be administered through current City Units, including the Strategic Projects Unit.

i. Use of terminology regarding accessibility preferred by the Disability Service Commission (DSC)

ii. Inclusion of a measure which requires a number of houses, other than those in aged care facilities, to be built to universal design principles

iii. Possible increasing of aged/disabled housing target figures, subject to further investigation of this with DSC

iv. Measures relating to planning for community facilities to refer to universally accessible facilities

v. The criteria for consistency with a Disability Access Plan at Local Structure Plan level to be the same as that for subdivision level, and also that the plans be required to be consistent with the City’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan

SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT OF SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED ON DRAFT SMART GROWTH ASSESSMENT TOOL

EXTERNAL SUBMISSIONS

1. Western Australian Police Service

It is noted that future versions of the SGAT will be able to integrate appropriate national and State land planning criteria as it becomes available. The Western Australian Police Service is committed to the State Government Sustainability Framework which includes the recently released checklist of high level sustainability criteria for application throughout the planning and building continuum. The future development of sub-criteria to be applicable at the town planning scheme level, built form and household level will be a welcome addition and of assistance in the decision making process.

Nevertheless, the WA Police Service accepts that any sustainability assessment tool must be rooted in the specific objectives of its location and observe that the SGAT is able to combine the criteria from the various levels to provide a meaningful assessment tool.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comments

2. Disability Services Commission (DSC)

a) It is pleasing to note that the Assessment Tool has a number of measures, in line with the principles of the Smart Growth strategy and the related policy, aimed at ensuring improved access and inclusion for people with a disability. These include measures in line with the Liveable Neighbourhoods policy and which advance the concept of accessible neighbourhoods. I am also please to note the requirement for developers to have a Disability Access Plan.

This feedback is intended to further strengthen the Assessment Tool with regard to the inclusion of people with a disability, in line with the intention of the principles of the Smart Growth strategy and the associated policy.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comments

b) A number of the measures at all three levels of the assessment tool are aimed at ensuring an accessible neighbourhood. These measures usually refer to walkability or accessibility. These terms do not ensure the needs of all people, such as those for whom walking is difficult and others who use a wheelchair for mobility, are considered in the plans. It is preferable to use other terms such as “ access for all” or universally accessible.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 2 of 34

This is particularly so when referring to pathways and access within the 400 and 800 metre zones around major facilities.

Assessment/recommendation:

DSC would be most familiar with the best terminology to use.

Amend draft SGAT to use DSC’s preferred terminology.

c) Having a standard for the number of houses adaptable for people with a disability is an important step to providing more choice for people with a disability and people who are ageing. It is important however to be quite specific as to the type of development required. The measure as currently worded, requiring a number of dwellings for aged/disability, could be met simply by the provision of a number of aged care facilities. This is not suitable for people with a disability and is not in line with the underpinning concepts of adaptable housing and universal design. This could be dealt with by having a measure that requires a number of houses, other than those in aged care facilities, to be built to universal design principles.

Assessment/recommendation:

DSC’s concern is considered valid.

Amend draft SGAT to include a measure that requires a number of houses, other than those in aged care facilities. To be built to universal design principles.

d) The current standards for the number of houses to be provided for people with a disability and those ageing are for 10% of houses in the standard and coastal nodes and 20% for other areas. It would be beneficial to have a higher proportion of houses built to universal design standards and as noted above to ensure that a proportion of these are not within aged care facilities. This would provide additional choice and ensure provision for an ageing population.

Assessment/recommendation:

The current ‘target’ in the draft SGAT for aged/disabled housing in “standard” areas is actually 8% rather than 10%.

The matter of increasing the target figures should be jointly investigated further with DSC, with draft SGAT being amended if necessary to reflect the outcome of those investigations. (DSC has been asked to advise as to what proportions they would be seeking).

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 3 of 34

e) It would be beneficial if the measures relating to planning for community facilities referred to universally accessible facilities, in line with improving access and inclusion.

Assessment/recommendation:

Amend draft SGAT accordingly.

f) The requirement for developers to have an access plan related to any proposed development (principle 4, strategy 4A, 1V) is a major step forward and is in line with the spirit of the changes to the Disability Services Act 1993 (as amended in 2004). The wording of the measure at the Subdivision Proposal level requires the development to be consistent with a prepared Disability Access Plan. This wording should also be used for the same provision at the local structure plan level and that the plans be required to be consistent with the City of Wanneroo’s own Disability Access and Inclusion Plan. This would be within the spirit of the amendments to the Disability Services Act mentioned above

Assessment/recommendation:

Amend draft SGAT accordingly.

g) In general, the provision for access and inclusion in both the original Smart Growth strategy and policy and in the Assessment Tool go a long way towards improving access and the inclusion of people with a disability. The City of Wanneroo is to be commended for their consideration of the needs of people with a disability in the development of these strategies.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

3. Masterplan Town Planning Consultants (on behalf of Zebra Properties Pty Ltd and P & N Landreach Pty Ltd)

a) SGAT should not be implemented until the Smart Growth Strategy and Tool is given statutory weight through its inclusion as part of a formal amendment to District Planning Scheme No. 2.

The Smart Growth Strategy and its accompanying elements such as the SGAT is not just a minor or specific issue policy which might be adopted under the existing town planning scheme regime. It is a major shift in approach in the assessment of development proposals.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 4 of 34

Therefore, the City should only seek to formally implement the Smart Growth Strategy, and in particular the use of the SGAT via undertaking an appropriate amendment to its District Planning Scheme. It is noted that the SGAT documentation refers to the need for such an amendment, although promotes this as a matter to be addressed via a later version of the SGAT. This is inappropriate. There should be no attempt to apply the Smart Growth Strategy and SGAT until such time as specific statutory weight to this matter has been provided and the full context and consequences of this approach have been examined and tested via the formal statutory process.

Smart Growth and its principal means of implementation, the SGAT, is such a significant shift in approach that it must only be applied following exhaustive assessment and involvement by all parties. While Smart Growth and the SGAT respond to the philosophical direction the City wishes to promote, this has not explained how it will apply within the wider development and statutory context. This will only be truly determined via a formal amendment process which will engage all stakeholders ; the development industry, other government agencies and the community at large.

Assessment/recommendation:

The Smart Growth Strategy has always been intended to be implemented in a phased manner, initially as a local planning policy under City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No 2 (DPS2), which is a relatively quick process; then through an amendment to DPS2; then through a review of DPS2. This is still considered an appropriate approach, particularly considering the substantial consultation which is being undertaken in the development of the strategy, and the need for action to be taken in the relatively short term, rather than substantially delayed pending completion of lengthy statutory planning processes.

The above phased implementation approach is also considered appropriate for the SGAT. The report presented to Council on draft SGAT at its meeting of 15 March 2005 alluded to the likelihood of reference to SGAT being included in the proposed Smart Growth Local Planning Policy and amendments to DPS2 to implement the Smart Growth strategies. The comments made in this submission confirm the appropriateness of this.

Note comment, and require that the proposed Smart Growth Local Planning Policy and amendment to DPS2 to implement the Smart Growth Strategy include reference to SGAT.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 5 of 34

b) The SGAT should not be implemented until relevant strategies are finalised. Reference is made throughout the draft SGAT to related documents and strategies. For example, the Local Housing Strategy has been identified as providing targets for inclusion within the Smart Growth Assessment Tool which identifies as a critical element, the degree for which any development plan meets the City’s housing targets as outlined in the Housing Strategy.

As the Housing Strategy is yet to be released for stakeholder comment, it is premature to be using targets generated under this strategy as criteria to be included in the Smart Growth Assessment Tool. Appropriate and comprehensive assessment and comment as to the approach contained under the Smart Growth Assessment Tool cannot, therefore, be made without the opportunity to view and comment on associated items such as the Local Housing Strategy.

Assessment/recommendation:

The aim in preparing the SGAT has been to have it ready for use as soon as possible, having regard for the need for adequate consultation to be undertaken. This has meant that the draft SGAT has had to draw on the best information available at the time, and it being acknowledged that as improved information becomes available over time, such as through the finalisation of the local housing strategy, then the SGAT shall be progressively refined.

Note comment.

c) The reference to a number of versions of the SGAT is of concern. Within the documentation the SGAT is promoted as an approach that will provide a much greater degree of certainly to development proponents. It is difficult to see how this is the case when a number of versions are proposed to be released for limited periods of time and reference is made to amending various components of the SGAT during this process.

Applying different variations of the SGAT to the development assessment process whilst still trying to establish a final version, will create substantial and unnecessary cost and lack of certainty. A more appropriate approach would be to present and adopt a version of the SGAT through the appropriate statutory amendment process to enable its full testing prior to its implementation.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 6 of 34

Assessment/recommendation:

As noted in b) above, the intention is that SGAT will be subject to a process of continual improvement, including improvements made in response to information gained through application of the SGAT. It is, however, now proposed to initially implement SGAT on a trial basis to structure plans involving substantial developer support, prior to requiring its application to all Structure Plans.

Note comment.

d) A further concern is the imposition of weighting criteria within the SGAT based upon the subjective view of City of Wanneroo officers. This view, while undoubtedly valid from a City of Wanneroo officer perspective, may not necessarily be the most appropriate weighting within the wider context of land development imperatives and certainly, it is inappropriate to hold the subjective view of City officers as being more valid than that of the development industry or the community in general. A more appropriate course of action prior to finalisation of the SGAT would be to provide the opportunity for, in particular the development industry and possibly the general community, to participate in the evolvement of weighting criteria.

We note the order of weighting priority given by City officers for Smart Growth principles as follows with highest priority at the top and lowest at the bottom :

· Smart Growth Principle 2 – The Effective Use of Land and Infrastructure ;

· Smart Growth Principle 1 – Lifestyle and Housing

· Smart Growth Principle 5 – Long Term Economic Health

· Smart Growth Principle 6 – People and Government

· Smart Growth Principle 3 – Long Term Health of the Environment

· Smart Growth Principle 4 – Identify, Equity and Inclusiveness

It is expected the industry will place an equal, if not greater priority upon Smart Growth Principle 1 – Lifestyle and Housing, compared to Smart Growth Principle 2 – The Effective Use of Land and Infrastructure, for example. The weighting that has been allocated by City officers appears geared towards principles that will minimize future cost to the operation of the City, rather than necessarily those principles that will secure the best overall social, economic and environmental outcomes.

For the Smart Growth Assessment Tool to be successfully implemented and the Smart Growth objectives to be achieved, the allocation of weightings in the tool is critical. The current allocation of weightings is likely to skew the scores achieved under the SGAT too heavily towards one particular principle at the expense of the overall objectives.

ATTACHMENT 1

The Smart Growth Strategy and the SGAT itself makes much of the opportunity it provides for comprehensive involvement by both stakeholders and the community in general, however, fails its own test in denying that opportunity to be involved in determining some of the most critical issues.

As the major player in the provision of land development, the development industry must have the opportunity to consider and recommend its weighting criteria.

Assessment/recommendation:

It is agreed that it would be preferable to have the weightings used based upon more than the outcome of a workshop held with a number of City Administration Officers. To this end, the report considered at Council’s meeting of 15 March 2005 advised that a survey was being conducted of selected industry, community and government groups.

Unfortunately, the survey received a very poor response rate such that valid conclusions could not be drawn from the limited responses received.

It has been hoped that the submissions received on the draft SGAT may elicit a significant

amount of comment on the weightings so as to enable some assessment to be made of their soundness. However, little comment has been received to date on this.

The proposed ‘trialling’ of SGAT for certain Structure Plans should enable closer consideration of the weighting issue by all parties.

The comment made above in this submission lists the ranking of the Smart Growth principles according to the current weightings used. This is repeated below, but also included are the weightings used. This is repeated below, but also included are the weightings or the ‘maximum possible scores’ for each principle.

· Smart Growth Principle 2 – Effective Use of Land and Infrastructure (216)

· Smart Growth Principle 1 - Lifestyle and Housing (186)

· Smart Growth Principle 5 - Long Term Economic Health (166)

· Smart Growth Principle 6 - People and Government (154)

· Smart Growth Principle 3 - Long Term Health of the Environment (150)

· Smart Growth Principle 4 - Identity, Equity and Inclusiveness (128)

It should be noted that the above ‘top-level’ weightings get translated down to the more detailed levels of the SGAT as follows:

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 8 of 34

· Under each principle, each strategy is given a different weighting

· Under each strategy, the weighting given to each criteria relating to that strategy is the weighting for that strategy divided by the number of criteria (ie the criteria for individual strategies are equally weighted).

The effect of the above weighting system at the criteria level is that while two strategies may each have a similar weighting, if one of the strategies has substantially more criteria relating to it, then each of those criteria will be significantly less weighted than for the criteria relating to the other strategy. This can create difficulties in that a criterion which is lowly weighted for this reason may be widely regarded as of greater importance as compared to a more highly weighted criterion under a strategy which has few criteria.

It would be appropriate for the Steering Committee and subsequently Council to give particularly careful consideration to the above matters.

Note comment.

e) The SGAT documentation states ‘it is proposed as a response to major development proposals’, yet it is stipulated within this documentation that it will be applied to all structure plans and subdivision proposals. Previous information released by the City with reference to the Smart Growth Strategy has advised that the SGAT will only be applied to structure plans and subdivisions comprising 200 or more lots.

The SGAT documentation states that it will initially be applied to all subdivisions, presumably including 2 lot subdivisions, with the second version to apply for subdivisions of 10 lots or more. As no explanation has been provided for this, it is difficult to respond, however, it is patently clear that the application of the SGAT to non-substantial subdivision proposals is an excessive and unnecessary impost.

Assessment/recommendation:

A requirement for SGAT to be applied to small subdivision applications, in the extreme say a 2 lot subdivision, would be inappropriate and a policy should be developed to guide which subdivision applications should be subject to the SGAT.

Develop a policy to guide what types of subdivision applications, particularly in respect to number of proposed lots, should be subject to the SGAT.

f) The SGAT documentation suggests that the SGAT is designed to compliment the current approval process and not replace it or the statutory requirements for approval of such developments. However, the documentation lacks any real detail as to how this system will work in concurrence with the approvals process currently stipulated in statute.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 9 of 34

There is also no detail as to how the SGAT process will impact upon decision making timeframes outlined in statute or appeal rights as also outlined.

Under State planning legislation the City is subject to a referral period within which it must provide recommendations to the Western Australian Planning Commission on subdivision proposals. Is it the City’s contention that it will be able to meet its statutory referral period obligation while still applying the Smart Growth Assessment Tool to all applications ?

Assessment/recommendations:

When structure plan or subdivision applications are submitted to the City for consideration, they have to be assessed, having regard for all relevant statutory and policy requirements. SGAT should facilitate this process, particularly where developers submit their SGAT self-assessment along with their application, as they will be encouraged to do (prior to possible introduction of any mandatory requirement for this to be done). It is now proposed that application of the SGAT to subdivision applications be deferred pending trialling of the SGAT on Structure Plans.

Note comment.

g) The SGAT documentation states that the amount of information which will now be required upfront under the SGAT is comparative to the information which would normally be provided. This statement is challenged. The very nature of the wider range of issues the SGAT seeks to include beyond what is normally required under the current planning process means that the amount of information required will be substantially more than is currently provided and will be required substantially earlier in the system. This creates an extra burden for the development industry in additional costs, earlier in the development process. No evidence has been presented in the SGAT documentation to support this claim.

Assessment/recommendations:

All of the information required to be provided by SGAT is currently considered necessary or at least desirable and if it is not presently provided, then it probably should be. Trialling SGAT to certain Structure Plan applications should help to indicate if any SGAT information requirements are unnecessary, or not.

Note comment.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 10 of 34

h) It is also unclear how the SGAT will result in faster processing of applications. If more information is required than ever before, the processing of that information by the City is likely to take longer than ever before. This will particularly be the case as the weighting and criteria applied by the community and development proponents is unlikely to match that of City of Wanneroo officers and therefore, it is likely the SGAT exercise will be revisited a number of times, adding both time and cost to the process.

Assessment/recommendations:

The SGAT will set the weightings and the criteria; the matter which will require assessment for each application is the score which should be given for each criteria.

The preparation of plans is generally of an iterative nature and the SGAT should provide a basis for discussions of plan iterations between the City and the applicant.

Note comment.

i) The SGAT is supposedly a tool to structure how decisions are made but will not be a final determinant ; rather it will encourage discussion, refinement, innovation and consensus. The tool is intended to identify elements of concern within a proposal so action may be taken by the developer to improve the development proposal. Has there been any consideration to a basic “Deemed to Comply” standard or level under the SGAT. If achieved, such a Deemed to Comply standard would mean that the proponent is not required to make further changes.

Assessment/recommendation:

The SGAT includes ‘statutory’ criteria which could be viewed as a ‘Deemed to Comply’ standard in respect to those type of criteria. However, in respect to structure plans, DPS2 gives the City discretion to determine whether a proposed structure plan is ‘satisfactory’ or not, and in determining this, the City is not limited to consideration of only statutory requirements but also a much broader range of planning considerations.

The City has a similarly broad discretion in determining what recommendation to make to the WA Planning Commission in respect to subdivision applications referred to it.

Note comment.

j) The SGAT supporting documentation notes that the criteria selection process identified the need to clarify and expand a number of City of Wanneroo policies in order to set targets to enable the measurement of those criteria and that this enabled the inclusion of appropriate specific criteria and targets for the community and economic sections of the SGAT.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 11 of 34

Have the clarified expanded CoW policies ever been released for stakeholder or community comment ? As these have been used as the basis for criteria measurement under the SGAT, it would seem reasonable that they be subject to scrutiny and comment if modified specifically for this purpose.

Assessment/recommendation:

The relevant documents here are probably the City’s Economic Development Strategy and Local Employment Policy, and the proposed Local Housing Strategy (LHS). In respect to the economic related documents, these have been adopted by Council following full consulation processes.

In respect to the proposed LHS this matter is addressed in b) above.

Note comment.

k) The SGAT uses six geographic location types and identifies the target proportion of dwellings in each of these locations to enable measurement of how well a proposal meets those targets. It does not, however, provide any explanation, substantiation or justification for the location types that have been selected.

The SGAT also uses four housing types and identifies target proportions of each of these dwelling types for each geographic type using forecasts from the Local Housing Strategy. Again, explanation or justification for the selection of housing types and the opportunity for comment on the Local Housing Strategy is necessary before valid comment on the SGAT can be finalised.

Assessment/recommendation:

The LHS will address this matter. Also see b) above.

Note comment.

l) The SGAT documentation refers to the possibility of trade-offs being able to be made within the overall score and star rating system. The concept of trade-offs in these circumstances is questionable. Who decides what should be given a priority in a trade-off situation and why, if you score well on one element, should trading off a poor performance in another area be acceptable ? There is a concern that this aspect of the SGAT is contradictory to the objectives outlined elsewhere under the Smart Growth approach.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 12 of 34

Assessment/recommendation:

Trade-offs would initially be expected to be subject to negotiation between the applicant and the planning agencies concerned, but ultimately decided upon by the planning agencies as to what will be accepted.

Tradeoffs should not be taken to mean that poor performance in an area will necessarily be accepted.

Note comment

m) The City is yet to decide on whether to offer incentives where proposals might score beyond a certain level and at the other end of the scale, penalties (most likely financial in nature) where proposals fail to meet the standards that the City requires. The SGAT documentation states “it is possible a common SMART fund could be established to be managed by the City which would be a deposit account for developer ‘impact fees’ or ‘infrastructure contributions’.

This aspect of the SGAT raises the spectre of imposition of development levies by stealth. It also introduces the potential to be seen as selling planning approval, ie it doesn’t matter what your score is, pay the money and you get an approval. This is particularly risky when disincentives are also being applied and it seems contrary to the objectives of achieving the best development outcome.

Assessment/recommendation:

Any notion of ‘buying planning approvals’ would be clearly repugnant to the City. Introduction of any form of development levy system or similar would need to occur within the framework of the statutory planning system with all its checks and balances and requirements for openness and accountability. Such a system would also need to be geared toward achieving an improved planning outcome.

Note comment

n) The SGAT documentation refers to encouraging a greater level of detail on all aspects of development at different stages, particularly the local structure planning stage as it is at this level that specific commitments regarding community and economic programmes will be identified.

Schedule 7 referred to by Clause 9.3 of the City’s District Planning Scheme No 2 lists the items which the Council may require to be included in a Local Structure Plan. Many of the items promoted in the SGAT are not specifically identified here.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 13 of 34

Only if it is a statutory requirement, ie listed in the Scheme, are proponents required to address or include a particular item although Schedule 7 does incorporate a catch-all generic reference to “strategies, structure plans and policies of the Council”.

Clarification is sought as to whether this is how the City intends to enforce the requirements of the Smart Growth Assessment Tool? If it does, it is likely there will be substantial additional costs and delay in progressing local structure plans.

Assessment/recommendation:

Schedule 7 of DPS2 does in fact not set the limit for the matters which the City may require to be addressed in a Structure Plan as Clause 9.3 of DPS2 states:

“A Structure Plan shall have regard to or include those matters listed in Schedule 7 that are appropriate. Without limiting the generality of Schedule 7 the Council may recognise any other matter to be included in a Structure Plan”.

Application of the SGAT to Structure Plan applications will be able to be enforced through Part 9 of DPS2, however the intention will be to seek more of a partnering approach with developers in the preparation of their Structure Plans. Part f) above addresses the relationship of SGAT to subdivision application processes.

The issue of additional delays and costs has been commented upon previously.

Note comment

o) The Smart Growth Assessment Tool also identifies a preferred scale for application plans requesting 1:5000 scale for District Structure Plans and 1:1250 for a Local Structure Plan (LSP), instead of the commonly 1:10,000 for DSP’s and 1:2000 or 5000 for LSP’s currently applied. Given the larger areas included in District Structure Plans and the unusual scale at 1:1250 proposed for Local Structure Plans, this aspect of the SGAT will generate additional cost to development proponents and is simply unnecessary. The current scales applied are more than sufficient to address the level of detail that should be necessary, both under current statutory requirements and even under the SGAT approach.

Assessment/recommendation:

The map scales generally currently used for District and Local Structure Plans should be adequate for showing the level of detail required for application of the SGAT.

Amend the SGAT explanatory report accordingly.

ATTACHMENT 1

p) The Employment Self Sufficiency table of the SGAT refers to the types of jobs “developers are able to influence” and the number of jobs developers should create and as a proportion of each job category. No explanation is provided, however, as to how developers are able to “influence” particular work types or numbers. While developers can create and design for land uses which might facilitate jobs, the elements that control

job creation are often beyond the capacity of individual developers to influence.

Assessment/recommendation:

It is acknowledged that not all elements of job creation are within the hands of land developers.

Note comment.

q) The SGAT makes reference to a range of items and terms, however, there is no interpretation of items provided. For example, a definition of “affordable housing” within the context of the SGAT would provide clarity and avoid the potential for misunderstanding.

Assessment/recommendation:

It is acknowledged that many terms used in the SGAT will require definition to avoid any confusion regarding their intended meaning.

Prepare a list of definitions of terms used in the SGAT which may be subject to some uncertainty as to intended meaning, and expand as necessary given experience gained through commencement of application of the SGAT.

Note comment

r) A number of specific concerns have been identified within the SGAT matrix. These are listed following:

· Lifestyle & Housing – SGP1 Imput

i. How do you estimate numbers of affordable dwellings, for example, how many will be available for private rent?

ii. As a land developer providing lots, how are items that relate to housing/built details – for example dwellings that will be adaptable/disability etc estimated – adaptable subdivision layout can be provided but often the land developer does not but control built form.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 15 of 34

· Land/Infrastructure – SGP2

iii. Does the drop down menu include a Not Applicable category so a development proponent’s score is not detrimentally impacted when a criteria which does not apply to this project is assessed.

iv. Some of the details required to answer some of the questions are unlikely to be available at the DSP/LSP level. For example, detailed assessment of cut and fill is usually only undertaken at Subdivision stage.

v. Within the drop down answer menu – what determines whether something has achieved ‘basic compliance’ or something higher or a higher level of compliance – how is this assessed?

vi. Many of the criteria require certain targets or objectives to be measured or quantified, however, no guidance is provided as to how these can or are to be measured. For example, how are questions 3civ, 4aiv, 6ai and 6bi to be measured/answered?

vii. 6d(i) refers to stakeholder consultation. Are these approvals to be sought prior to submitting SGAT to City of Wanneroo? If so, what happens if upon submission, the City of Wanneroo requires a change that the other agency does not promote?

Assessment/recommendations:

i and ii: It is acknowledged that in some cases, applicants will need to make their estimates on a “best guess” basis.

Note comment

iii. Generally the SGAT does include a ‘Not Applicable’ category where appropriate. Should commencement of application of the SGAT indicate that this category needs to be included for further criteria, then the SGAT can be readily amended to do this.

Note comment

iv. It is acknowledged that prior to relevant details being available, some preliminary form of assessment may be required and this may occur on a staged basis. For example, in the case of cut and fill, while full cut and fill details will not be available until subdivision stage, at District Structure Plan stage, the cut and fill implications of locations of some items addressed at that stage (eg district open space areas; high school sites) should be able to be addressed.

Note comment

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 16 of 34

v. Generally a value judgement will be made, initially by the applicant in making the self-assessment, then subsequently by the City, in scrutinising the self-assessment. In some cases, guidelines or similar may need to be prepared to assist in the making of these judgements.

Note comment

vi. Where criteria involve quantified measurements (eg criterion 3c (iv): “Does the Structure Plan enable a 20% reduction of energy emissions over 2001/02 data?” with the response to be provided being a selection of a particular % figure), it is acknowledged that in some cases “best guess” estimates, supported by some explanation, would need to be accepted as adequate.

For criteria such as 6a (i) (“Does the Structure Plan allow for comments/stakeholder participation in decision making?” with the response choice being “yes” or “no”), it would be expected that the response to such criteria would be supported by some explanation and justification in the Structure Plan document itself (in the explanatory part of the document). This is the intention of the ‘Plan Reference/Comment” comment in the SGAT spreadsheet.

Note comment

vii. These approvals would be expected to be sought prior to submission of the Structural Plan and SGAT self assessment to the City. Should the City consider requiring a change which may impact upon another agency’s role, it would be expected that the City would first discuss and seek resolution of the matter with that agency.

Note comment

s) My clients are the owners and developers of Lot 501 Two Rocks Road in Two Rocks. A significantly reduced version of our original Local Structure Plan (LSP) proposal was approved by the City, principally over concerns related to district planning issues beyond our control.

In turn, the LSP approved by the City was further significantly reduced when endorsed by the WAPC. We are currently proceeding with our first stage of subdivision and anticipate the area available in the approved LSP will be quickly taken up.

We will therefore be keen to proceed with revisiting the Structure Planning for the remainder of the site in the near future, particularly as the development of the St Andrews District Concept Plan, to form the basis for a district structure plan, has seen many of the original district issues addressed.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 17 of 34

Our clients, however, are extremely concerned that the City will attempt to prematurely apply the SGAT to assessment of either the DSP or a further version of our LSP. We are particularly concerned that if applied at the DSP level, we will be prevented from proceeding with our intended LSP. This would be unacceptable to our clients, particularly as the City has already endorsed a LSP over a larger area of the site.

We believe it inappropriate to attempt to apply Smart Growth and the SGAT until a more comprehensive process has been undertaken to give all stakeholders the opportunity to have input on criteria weighting and an appropriate statutory basis has been determined to support the Smart Growth Strategy within the wider development framework context. Given the above background, no situation should arise where any attempt by the City to apply the Smart Growth Assessment Tool results in any delay in the processing of either the St Andrews District Structure Plan or the next stage of our Local Structure Planning for Lot 501, Two Rocks.

Again, while the objectives of the Smart Growth approach are acknowledged, there should be no attempt to implement it until a full and rigorous assessment process has been completed. This version of the SGAT raises more questions than it answers, suggesting much more work is necessary prior to formally initiating any process to secure its implementation.

Assessment/recommendations)

At its meeting of 26 April 2005 (item PD15 – 04/05), Council resolved that prior to adoption of a final District Concept Plan for the St Andrews area it would require that, amongst other things, the SGAT be applied to the proposed District Concept Plan. This is not expected to cause any delay to the finalising of the District Concept Plan.

The concerns raised in this comment have been addressed above.

Note comment and advise the submittor of Council’s resolution of 26 April 2005 regarding the requirement for application of the SGAT to the St Andrew’s District Concept Plan.

4. Department of Environment (DOE)

The City’s inclusion of environmental considerations in planning processes is very encouraging. Particularly the recognition of integrated water strategies to increase water efficiencies and water sensitive urban design to promote on-site groundwater recharge.

6. Urban Development Institute of Australia (WA Division) (UDIA)

a) The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) is the peak body representing the urban development industry in Western Australia. It is in this capacity that we offer our comments on the proposed City of Wanneroo Smart Growth Assessment Tool (SGAT).

The urban development industry is a key contributor to sustainable development practices in Western Australia and UDIA members are increasingly adopting principles of sustainability as part of their corporate philosophy and practices.

UDIA supports the principle of sustainability assessment in Western Australia and believes that this type of assessment could provide a useful guide to promote more economic, social and environmentally sustainable development and building practices in the State. In this regard we congratulate the City of Wanneroo on the preparation of SGAT.

However, we would like to make a number of suggestions which we believe would assist in alleviating industry concerns and in ensuring the smooth implementation of the tool.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

b) A number of UDIA members have expressed concern that the implementation of SGAT will be onerous for developers and their consultants. Despite this members have indicated that they would not object to undertaking the assessment if compliance with the tool provided them with some certainty of outcome.

To assist in obtaining increased support for the process we suggest that the City to commit to a formal review and subsequent assessment of the tool prior to implementation on a mandatory basis.

In this regard we make the following suggestions:

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 19 of 34

· It is requested the City implement SGAT on a voluntary basis for a 1 to 2 year period to provide the opportunity for comprehensive review of any issues associated with implementation from both the proponent’s and city’s perspective and to identify and correct any identified problems with the tool or the implementation process.

· We recommend that review period focuses on the implementation of the tool at district and local structure plan level in the first instance (prior to reviewing the tool at subdivision level). We believe that this will provide the greatest opportunity for the assessment of a development in a holistic framework as well as for negotiation between the City and the proponent.

· UDIA recommends that the City of Wanneroo uses the review period to demonstrate the benefits of the tool to industry and obtain project examples of how the tool has assisted industry members in the approval process, particularly in regards to providing greater certainty of outcome.

· It is recommended that the City use the implementation period to demonstrate to industry that internal practices have been modified to allow for the efficient implementation of the tool. This includes changes in practice to allow for the multidisciplinary assessment of proposals and to demonstrate the ability for industry representatives to negotiate with council officers for ‘trade offs’ between different elements/requirements.

· At the finalisation of the review period the City should undertake an assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the tool based on comprehensive feedback from Council, Council staff and all participating industry members.

Assessment/recommendation:

It is envisaged that the SGAT should provide all parties with a greater certainty as to outcome of assessment of planning proposals.

It had previously been intended that application of the SGAT would be mandatory upon its final adoption by Council in the sense that it would be applied to all Structure Plan and subdivision applications, ideally by the applicant (as a self-assessment), or by the City (if the applicant chooses not to self-assess). The UDIA’s proposal essentially means initially applying the SGAT to only those Structure Plans where the developer involved is agreeable to doing this. The idea is that this would effectively trial the SGAT and identify areas where improvements can be made, prior to considering requiring its applications to all proposals.

The above approach is considered to have merit, considering the following matters (most of which have been identified by UDIA):

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 20 of 34

i) It has always been an important element of the Smart Growth approach that it be developed in partnership with key stakeholders, rather to be imposed. The land development industry is one of the key stakeholders and adoption of their suggested approach would be a sign of the City’s real desire to work together. Rejection of its proposal could seriously jeopardise a positive working relationship which has been developed to this point.

ii) There are likely to be ‘teething’ issues in the initial application of the tool, both with the developers and within City Administration. Resolution of these problems is likely to be far easier to achieve working in a co-operative manner with supportive developers, rather than with developers and consultants who may be opposed to this initiative.

iii) Application of the SGAT to actual proposals in a manner which is seen as successful by the developers and consultants involved will be helpful in obtaining future support from developers and consultants who may currently be opposed to it.

iv) While some internal testing of SGAT has been undertaken by City Administration, testing of it in ‘real’ situations will be valuable and likely to identify areas for improvement. This would preferably occur in the context of a limited trial basis with supportive developers rather than across the board, involving parties who may be antagonistic to the initiative. It would also be preferable to require general application of the improved SGAT, rather than one which may still include shortcomings which may be criticised.

v) Current indications are that such a trial approach will include assessment of some of the most important proposed Structure Plans anyway (eg District Structure Plans/Concept Plans for Alkimos/Eglinton and Yanchep/Two Rocks)

In respect to the proposal that SGAT initially only be trialled for Structure Plans and not

Subdivision applications, this is also considered to have merit. The Structure

Plan process is one which the City has effective control over in that applications are made to the City, and Council makes the initial determination as to whether a Structure Plan is satisfactory or not.

The subdivision process is quite different in that the WA Planning Commission (WAPC) (through the Department for Planning and Infrastructure – DPI) controls the process. Although the City has endeavoured to engage DPI in the preparation of SGAT, it would be desirable that much more is done to facilitate an effective integration of the SGAT process into the subdivision process.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 21 of 34

Trialling of SGAT for Structure Plans to demonstrate how it can produce improved outcomes for that level of planning should provide a good basis for seeking WAPC/DPI agreement to its integration into subdivision processes. The trialling of SGAT at local Structure Plan level should also indicate how SGAT should best work at the next level (ie subdivision), including administration systems required.

Application of SGAT to subdivision (with its added complexities) at present could result in problems at that level which might detract from positive achievements being made with SGAT at the Structure Plan levels.

Apply SGAT to Structure Plans on a trial basis and only to those Structure Plans which involve substantial support by developers who are willing to participate in such a trial. (‘Substantial’ support is referred to here, rather than total support, as there may be instances where the developers controlling most of a proposed Structure Plan area may be supportive but developers controlling a small part of that area may not be. In such cases, application of the SGAT in the trial may still be appropriate).

Defer consideration of applications of SGAT to subdivision applications pending completion of the trial on Structure Plans. Make improvements to SGAT which become evident during the course of the trial and undertake a full review at the conclusion of the trial.

c) UDIA makes the following general recommendations in regards to making the assessment worksheet more ‘user friendly’.

· Increase the explanatory text in the spreadsheet scoresheet (so that it is clear what particular scores or star ratings mean). Include a clear explanation of how a score or number of stars achieved by a development will impact on the approval process.

· Review the worksheet to ensure that it is as simple as possible (the initial reaction of industry members to the tool has been that it is very complex).

· Review the questions to ensure that all of the questions can be applied to all types of development without undue bias to the assessment score. For example, ensure that the scorecard can apply to semi-rural development where this type of development is appropriate as easily as transit oriented or compact forms of development (for example).

Assessment/recommendation:

These are all considered valid comments which may be best addressed during the course of the trialling of the SGAT.

Address comments during the course of the trialling of the SGAT.

d) In conclusion, UDIA supports the City of Wanneroo’s vision to enhance sustainability and make sure new developments complement the City’s Smart Growth Strategy.

However we believe that in adding additional layers to the development process there is a need for the City to clearly identify and demonstrate the benefits of the assessment for Council, industry and the community as a whole.

To achieve this we request that the City of Wanneroo commits to a formal review and subsequent assessment of the Smart Growth Assessment Tool prior to implementation on a mandatory basis.

Assessment/recommendation:

SGAT is not seen as adding additional layers to the development process but rather being integrated within the existing process. The other comments have been addressed in b) above.

Note comments.

7. Masterplan Town Planning Consultants (on behalf of W R Carpenter Landholdings Pty Ltd.)

This submission is essentially the same as submission no. 3, except for the following matters:

a) SGAT should not be adopted as a policy until the Smart Growth Strategy has been given statutory weight through amendment to DPS2, and the SGAT is then adopted as policy under the Smart Growth Strategy clauses in DPS2.

Assessment/recommendation:

It is now proposed that reference to SGAT in the proposed Smart Growth Local Planning Policy under DPS2 will be in terms of its initial application on a trial basis to Structure Plan proposals involving substantial support from the developers involved to such trialling for their proposal.

Note comment.

Page 23 of 34

b) A voluntary trial period to evolve the SGAT to an industry accepted model would be a more appropriate approach.

Assessment/recommendation:

This is similar to the UDIA’s proposal (see submission 6) which is recommended for support.

Uphold in line with responses to UDIA’s submission on this matter.

c) SGAT should initially only be trialled at Structure Plan level and following that trialling, then considered for application to subdivision level. It should be noted however, that if SGAT works at Structure Plan Level, there should be no need for application at subdivision or more detailed levels.

Assessment/recommendation:

This is similar to the UDIA submission on this issue which is recommended for support. The matter of whether SGAT should be eventually applied to subdivisions would be considered during the course of the Structure Plan trials.

Uphold in line with response to UDIA submission on this matter.

d) No clear explanation of the relationship of the SGAT to State Government policy, such as Liveable Neighbourhoods, is provided. How the SGAT will operate in the wider statutory context is vitally important and the City must clarify this fundamental aspect to enable appropriate and informed comment on the validity of the Smart Growth Strategy and SGAT approach to be made.

Assessment/recommendation:

These matters would be expected to be considered during the course of the proposed SGAT trialling to certain Structure Plans.

Note comment.

e) There needs to be a demonstration that the SGAT will provide certainty of outcome for development proposals.

Assessment/recommendation:

The proposed trialling of SGAT to certain Structure Plans should demonstrate this.

f) W R Carpenter Landholdings Pty Ltd strongly object to the concept of a ‘smart’ fund which levies against proponents via a process that is not clear or transparent and is open to interpretation.

Assessment/recommendation:

Any developer contribution arrangements which are intended to be imposed, rather than the subject of mutual agreement, would be required to be introduced via statutory processes which ensured full accountability and transparency.

Note comment.

g) In conclusion, W R Carpenter Landholdings Pty Ltd are the owners of Lot 1482 at Alkimos and have therefore been involved in the various issues related to current MRS Amendment and District Concept Plan process affecting the Alkimos-Eglinton district. The City has also been involved in this process. It is intended that the District Concept Plan will evolve into a District Structure Plan during 2005 with the view to enabling progressing of development planning for the Alkimos-Eglinton district.

Our client is extremely concerned if it is the City’s intention that this Alkimos-Eglinton District Structure Plan is to be assessed using the Smart Growth Assessment Tool. This will have a significant impact upon the timely completion of the district structure planning exercise for Alkimos-Eglinton. Particularly when it is inappropriate to attempt to apply Smart Growth and the SGAT until a more comprehensive process has been undertaken to give all stakeholders the opportunity to have comment on criteria weighting and an appropriate statutory basis has been determined to support the Smart Growth Strategy within the wider development framework context.

The current Alkimos-Eglinton District Concept Plan has been developed after extensive liaison between landholders, stakeholders, the State Government and the City of Wanneroo, including a number of workshops sponsored by the City. Our client is of the view that given this background no situation should arise where any attempt by the City to apply the Smart Growth Assessment Tool results in a range of new issues which the City will use to seek to modify the ultimate District Structure Plan based on the current District Concept Plan.

In this regard, we recommend the city pursue initiation of a forum with relevant Landowners and development proponents to specifically detail and explain the practical application of both the Smart Growth Strategy and the SGAT and enable these important stakeholders to be involved in its evolution. Such an approach may be the most effective way to progress this approach.

Assessment/recommendation:

The main developers involved in the Alkimos-Eglinton area are Landcorp and Eglinton Estates and these are understood to be agreeable to having the proposed District Structure Plan for this area prepared and assessed as one of the ‘trials’ for SGAT. Given this, and the significance of this district within the North West Coastal urban corridor, it is most desirable that this trial occur for this area and that any reluctant developers be encouraged to participate. The UDIA may be able to assist in this regard.

Application of SGAT to this area would be done in the context of the substantial amount of work which has occurred over recent years, and not suggest any ‘blank sheet’ approach. The trial would be likely to involve forums with the developers and other stakeholders involved.

Note comment.

8. Development Planning Strategies (DPS), on behalf of certain land owners at Alkimos-Eglinton, being Landcorp and Eglinton Estates Pty Ltd.

a) These comments provided are general in nature, however, we look forward to using the SGAT over a trial period and liaising and discussing any issues of detail with the City on a continual basis.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

b) We embrace and support the principles espoused by the City’s Smart Growth Strategy and note that the Smart Growth Assessment Tool (SGAT) is intended to be used for an initial trial period.

However, in the absence of actually applying and testing the SGAT on a working project we cannot provide in depth comments and feedback, particularly on targets and criteria embedded in the tool.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 26 of 34

We consider that it would be desirable for the SGAT to be subjected to a formal review period. It is believed that a formal review period should extend for 1 – 2 years to allow for comprehensive feedback to be obtained from the development industry and identify and correct potential problems with the SGAT. At the end of the review period, the City should comprehensively assess the effectiveness of SGAT based on the feedback received from all stakeholders.

Assessment/recommendation:

It is now recommended that SGAT be trialled (see comments on UDIA submission). Improvements identified would be expected to be made during the course of the trial, rather than only at its conclusion.

Undertake trial of SGAT.

c) The SGAT explanatory report outlines that the effective use of the SGAT requires a large amount of information to be known at the early stages of the planning process – ie, at the District or Local Structure Plan stage.

Careful thought must be given to what information is relevant and necessary at each stage, particularly given that each stage of the planning process will be subject to SGAT. Such detail is not always readily available to the land developer at early stages and the cost of sourcing such information without the certainty of any approval is in many cases significant. The current planning system provides for a stepped approval process and allows detail to be added over a number of planning approval stages. In this way the developer is given certainty through approval processes, prior to moving to the next level of detail.

It is noted that in some instances the SGAT allows a “Not Applicable” answer to be entered and there is no penalty for this. The SGAT must be carefully reviewed over time to ensure that the proponent is not penalised if certain information is unavailable or irrelevant at that particular stage of the planning process. The SGAT must recognise when issues are not relevant to that site or to the stage of the process, without penalising the proponents.

Assessment/recommendation:

These matters will be able to be effectively addressed through the proposed trial of SGAT.

Note comments.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 27 of 34

d) An initial observation, the SGAT appears an onerous task which may add an additional layer to the planning process. Yet, the SGAT does not provide any certainty of outcome on development proposals. If the SGAT is completed for a project and a high score is achieved, is there certainty that the proposal will be formally approved by Council and more importantly by the Western Australian Planning Commission? The SGAT must be used and implemented in this context. The concern is that over time it will become, for Council officers, the decision making tool. This is clearly not the intention and Council staff, both junior and senior, must recognise this and thus implementation must be properly managed.

Assessment/recommendation:

SGAT is intended to be integrated within existing planning and approval processes rather than forming any additional layer in those processes.

SGAT should provide an increased level of certainty for developers, noting however that it will only be a guide for decision making and will not make decisions itself.

Note comments.

e) Further consideration would appear appropriate to the scale of projects to which the SGAT, in the form proposed, would apply. It is considered that this issue needs to be carefully considered. Should a small project be subject to SGAT?

Assessment/recommendation:

This is a valid issue and a policy would be helpful to clarify the matter. Submission 3. (point e)) raises the same issue in respect to subdivisions.

Develop a policy to guide what scale of projects should be subject to SGAT.

f) It is noted that the SGAT as well as the principles, weighting, criteria, measures and targets embedded in the SGAT were developed by a professional consultant with significant input from City of Wanneroo professional staff. It would appear necessary that during a formal review period, developers and consultants who use the SGAT will have an opportunity to learn from Council about the details embedded in the SGAT and provide their inputs and comments accordingly.

Without being party to the process utilised in evaluating and formulating the weighting applied to different criteria, it is difficult to comment on the appropriateness of the weighting. It is suggested that the planning and land development industry need to be given the opportunity to comment on the weighting once they have had an opportunity to experiment with the SGAT and understand the implications of each weighting.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 28 of 34

Assessment/recommendation:

These matters will be able to be effectively addressed during the proposed trial of SGAT.

Note comment.

g) There is discussion in the SGAT explanatory report of a 40% employment self sufficiency target for District Structure Plans. However, Appendix 3 suggests that the 40% figure is the target for the overall City of Wanneroo. Nevertheless, the report suggest that the 40% target remains at all levels of planning. This is a significant issue and it needs to be made clearer what the target actually is for each stage of application.

This 40% employment self sufficiency target maybe very difficult or even impossible to achieve in some circumstances and proponents in such cases should not be penalised with lower SGAT scores. Further justification and testing of the committed targets during the trial period is considered necessary.

Assessment/recommendation:

As suggested in the comment made, this matter will be able to be effectively addressed during the proposed trial of SGAT.

Note comment.

h) The provision of the testing results summary provided in the report appendices are not easily interpreted and do not give a clear indication of the issue. Developers and consultants need to test and experiment with the SGAT themselves and have the opportunity to provide feedback and comments to Council on a continual basis during a trial/review period. This will allow more detailed comment to be provided on the intricacies of the SGAT.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

i) The report makes it clear that the SGAT will evolve over time as experience and feedback is gathered from all relevant stakeholders. Therefore, use of SGAT during the trial period must be placed in the context that it is the initial version of an assessment tool and it therefore may not function in the exact manner that is envisaged initially. Land developers should not be punished with unnecessary time delays, requests for unnecessary additional layers of detail and costly redesign exercises for the sole reason that the SGAT has identified there may be a problem with the proposal. Human judgement still is, and always will be, a critical element in the planning process and it is essential that SGAT does not become the decision making tool. As they say, the devil will be in the detail.

ATTACHMENT 1

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

j) Planning is never a black and while process as each site is unique and offers different opportunities and constraints. The current application of planning policies generally provides for some flexibility in their application in order that the best overall outcomes are achieved. For example, the developer may negotiate a reduced foreshore reserve with the Western Australian Planning Commission in return for providing some other benefit. How SGAT deals with such circumstances is unclear apart from outlining that penalties would apply to proposals that do not strictly conform with policy.

Assessment/recommendation:

If, in particular cases, departures from policy are considered justified, then SGAT would be expected to accommodate this rather than impose any penalty. This can be assessed further during the proposed trial of SGAT.

Note comment.

k) The SGAT appears on the surface to be an onerous, lengthy and time consuming exercise. It is noted that this may be unavoidable, however, all attempts should be made to make the SGAT as brief and user friendly as possible. Questions must be made relevant and as unambiguous as possible to minimise the risk of different interpretation of issues. It is envisaged that this will be addressed during the trial/review period.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

l) It is considered that there needs to be a formal review period extending over 1 – 2 years. During this review period developers will be able to make comment and provide feedback to the City on the SGAT. Developers and consultants should be given adequate time to begin to use and test the SGAT in order that they can made detailed comments on all levels of the SGAT – District Structure Plan, Local Structure Plan and subdivision applications.

The City should also consider providing detailed briefing/training/workshop sessions for land developers and their consultants where, for example, SGAT could be applied during the workshop to a project as a working example to ensure that developers and consultants fully understand the SGAT and how it is to be used and implemented. This is considered to be important particularly given that developers will be required to undertake self- assessment prior to formal lodgement of an application.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 30 of 34

As the adoption and implementation of SGAT will result in a marked shift in the planning application and assessment process, we believe it should be subject to a formal public assessment and adoption process.

In conclusion, we again reiterate support for the City’s Smart Growth initiatives and the intent of SGAT. It would appear, however, that there definitely needs to be put in place a process (perhaps a serious of workshops during a formal review period) whereby the development industry can be more fully informed about the in depth assumptions and influences reflected in the SGAT. In addition, the development industry needs greater opportunity obtain a fuller understanding of how SGAT is to be applied, structured and implemented in order that it can comment meaningfully upon SGAT and use SGAT efficiently and in the manner intended.

We look forward to using the SGAT over the trial period and discussing any issues with the City of Wanneroo.

Assessment/recommendation:

The issue of trialling SGAT has been addressed in b) above. It is envisaged that the trial period will include workshop sessions with all interested developers and their consultants and other stakeholders.

Note comment.

9. City of Swan (Officer Level Comment)

a) The Tool provides a useful template to ensure that most of the significant aspects of a new development are addressed and provides the opportunity for highlighting best practice examples of urban development which will be benefit to all local governments across Western Australia. We strongly support to collaborative process outlined for District Structure Planning which will increase accountability across agencies to coordinate provision of infrastructure and services.

Assessment/recommendation:

Note comment.

b) It would be useful for the Tool to be accompanied by an overview of the Smart Growth Strategy and commentary that development must consider the long term vs short term costs and benefits, intergenerational equity and long-term financial sustainability.

Assessment/recommendation:

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 31 of 34

The explanatory report includes a brief overview of the Smart Growth Strategy. Those seeking further information on the Strategy can readily obtain this from the City’s website.

Note comment.

c) A potential gap is the lack of supporting explanatory notes or details requirements/criteria to each question and the assessment of performance against each criteria will be a subjective assessment by individual officers. For example the question “Does the development promote community/stakeholder participation in decision making?” might be looking for aspects like ratepayer networks etc but how would the quality of those networks be assessed when the required response is Yes/No?

Assessment/recommendation:

These matters will be expected to be addressed through the proposed trial of SGAT.

Note comment.

d) Consider that the current tool has some potential inequities associated with permitting nonfrontal development (as suggested in Section 4.9 of the Report) and the difficulty in putting a dollar estimate on the social and economic costs of such development.

Assessment/recommendation:

SGAT should assist in addressing social and economic issues associated with non-frontal development.

Note comment.

e) Suggest further breakdown of areas in the environmental health section so that areas such as nutrient runoff, grey/waste water reuse, stormwater reuse, low water gardens/parks/landscaping can be given separate weighting. At the moment they are considered en mass, and it would possible for a development to score relatively highly while not necessarily being a good performer.

Targets for housing density might also be appropriate along major high frequency public transport routes such as Wanneroo Road, rather than only around transport hubs (we believe that the City of Fremantle may have done some work in this area).

Assessment/recommendation:

These matters should be addressed during the proposed trial of SGAT.

Note comments.

10. Water Corporation

The Water Corporation appreciates your invitation to contribute further to the public consultation in respect of your commendable effort to progress the land development process in Western Australia.

Our comments are provided from the perspective of the Water Corporation as a water service operator, mindful of the effort that has already been expended by your planning staff. We are keen to co-operate with other stakeholders, such as yourself, to further the objective of sustainable water resource management, as prescribed in the WA State Water Strategy.

At this advanced stage of the development of your Smart Growth Assessment Tool (SGAT) it is more appropriate for us to provide high level suggestion for additional items to be included in your assessment process, rather than to attempt to suggest detailed changes. The following comments are provided on this basis. We also suggest that we liaise closely with your planning staff to flesh out the detailed questions that could be included in your questionnaire to ensure sustainable water resource management objectives are met.

General comment on the effectiveness of the draft “Smart Growth Assessment Tool”

The effectiveness of detailing the key outcomes of a proposed land development would be enhanced by including more direct connection to the following sustainability drivers:

· The key proposals of relevant Statements of Planning Policy (SPP) issued by WAPC such as SPP No. 2.9 – Water Resources and SPP No. 2.2 – Gnangara Groundwater Protection Policy.

· The need to ensure an integrated approach to the water, wastewater and drainage requirements of the proposed land development. This Integrated Water Management approach acknowledges the interdependency of the various elements of the Water Cycle and assists the land developer in understanding the impact that his land development activities have on the water balance of the local area concerned.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 33 of 34

· More direct linkage back to the objectives contained in the “Smart Growth Draft Strategy” such, for example, action item iv) of objective 2d relating to “Effective Use of Land and Infrastructure” (page 23) as well as developer actions required to implement objective 3f “Developing integrated water management strategies to increase water efficiency (page 30).

· A commitment to producing a “Water Management Plan (WMP)” to assist stakeholders (including the Department of Environment) in assessing the impact of the proposed land development. It is expected that a WMP would also include a land management plan. Planning at the District Structure Plan level would require a more comprehensive WMP, but all WMPs would need to provide concise details on:

*. the process and planning approach undertaken

* the planning assessment criteria met in respect of:

· Public Health criteria

· Technical criteria

· Social, Environmental and Financial criteria

* Details of the existing environment

* Summary of water services provision

* Proposed monitoring and responsibilities

· The setting of targets for the achievement of best management practice outcomes and the commitment of the proposed land developer to achieve these targets within an agreed timeframe. To encourage drinking water conservation, targets should be set for:

* A committed reduction in per capita consumption of drinking water

* A commitment to introduce water reuse schemes, where practicable, to achieve an agreed percentage of total water use

* A commitment to demonstrate use of water sensitive urban design principles, as espoused in Liveable Neighbourhoods the development control policy statement of WAPC. This would involve setting targets for the capture, use and enhancement of the quality of urban stormwater runoff generated by the proposed development.

· The establishment of monitoring and reporting systems to report on groundwater quantity and quality before the proposed land development activities commence, during the activities and on completion.

· The finalising of the form and content of the assessment tool should include public consultation. In this way acceptance from all stakeholders, including members of the public is guaranteed which avoids protracted disputes later at critical stages of the land development process.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 34 of 34

We do however, confirm our preference to having consistency and certainty in the requirements that the land development industry has to meet. In this matter, we feel that the State Government, through the Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) should develop one single assessment process involving an industry agreed too.

Assessment/recommendation:

The comments made can be addressed during the proposed trial of SGAT.

Note comments

Internal Submissions

1. Summary of comments:

Strategy 4g states: “Promote the appreciation and rehabilitation of heritage sites”. The term “rehabilitation” when referring to heritage sites is inappropriate and the more correct term to use is “conservation”. As environmental/bush care is covered elsewhere, there is no need for a more “universal’ term to be used.

Assessment of/recommendation on comments:

Amend SGAT accordingly.

Issue

To consider the draft Local Housing Strategy (LHS) for the City of Wanneroo.

Background

At its meeting of 21 September 2004 (item CEO9-09/04), it was resolved that Council:

1. DEVELOP a Draft Framework for a Local Housing Strategy based upon Scenario B presented by Macroplan consultants, subject to such modifications as the Smart Growth Committee sees appropriate;

2. REQUEST that the Draft Local Housing Strategy Framework prepared pursuant to
1. above be considered by the Smart Growth Steering Committee and presented for endorsement as a Draft Framework by Council, prior to release for community consultation and engagement.

Scenario B referred to in 1. above essentially involves a housing mix for the City of Wanneroo in 2021 which is similar to the housing mix for the Perth metropolitan region at 2001.

The modifications to Scenario B required by the Smart Growth Steering Committee (also referred to in 1. above) are listed in Attachment 1 to this report.

Detail

A draft LHS has now been prepared which aims to achieve the Scenario B housing mix for the City of Wanneroo for 2021. The draft has been prepared by Macroplan consultants with input by Syme Marmion consultants, Department of Housing and Works and City of Wanneroo Administration.

A full copy of the draft LHS has been provided to each Smart Growth Steering Committee member and a copy has also been placed in the Elected Members reading room.

The key section of the draft is section 9 which is the proposed strategy itself and a copy of this forms Attachment 2 to this report. The strategy essentially comprises:

1. A statement of the objectives of the strategy (9.1); and

2. Thirty-five recommendations for how those objectives are to be achieved.

The strategy recommendations deal with the following matters (using the reference numbers given in the draft):

9.2 Strategy Actions:

9.2.1 Housing types (further detailed below due to the significance of this matter).

a) The 2021 housing mix for the City as per Scenario B.

b) Criteria for locating areas of higher density.

c) Housing mix spread into different geographic location types.

d) Density settings for different geographic location types.

e) Development of guidelines for achieving different net residential densities.

f) Principles, recommended R coding, recommended projects and pilots, and analysis requirements for different types of area.

g) Second dwellings on rural lots.

9.2.2 Affordable Housing.

9.2.3 Aged Persons Housing.

9.2.4 Other Housing types.

9.2.5 Urban design guidelines.

9.3 Implementation of the Strategy Actions:

9.3.1 Staging of implementation.

9.3.2 Infrastructure provision.

9.3.3 Regulatory framework.

This includes recommended amendments to City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS 2).

9.4 Development Contributions.

9.5 Monitoring the Strategy.

Consultation

It is proposed that the draft LHS be released for an eight week public comment period and that all key stakeholder groups be contacted and their comments sought.

Comment

The draft Strategy is considered to provide an appropriate means for achieving the objectives which have been set, and for delivering the Scenario B housing mix for 2021 previously endorsed by the Council.

The LHS will be one of the key elements of the Smart Growth Strategy and the draft Smart Growth Assessment Tool (SGAT) already incorporates important aspects of the draft LHS. Council endorsed release of the draft SGAT for public comment at its meeting of 15 March 2005 and the comment period concluded on 13 May 2005.

The draft LHS is considered to strike a desirable balance between being specific enough to provide clear guidance for what should occur in new residential development areas whilst also taking a relatively broad approach to existing residential areas so that specific proposals for those areas will arise from subsequent local-area-based consultation.

The Smart Growth Steering Committee considered this matter at its meeting of 12 May 2005 and resolved to “recommend to Council that the draft Local Housing Strategy for the City of Wanneroo (dated 2 April 2005) be released for public comment for a period of four weeks”.

Statutory Compliance

Such compliance will become relevant at the time that implementation mechanisms for the LHS are subsequently considered (e.g. for possible amendments to DPS 2).

Strategic Implications

The LHS will have implications for the achievement of the Environmental Sustainability, Healthy Communities and Economic Development goals of the Strategic Plan.

Policy Implications

Implementation mechanisms required for the LHS may include policy proposals.

Financial Implications

Consultation and documentation requirements for the LHS will entail some cost which has not been estimated at this point, but is likely to be relatively small and covered in the current year’s operating budget for Smart Growth.

Scenario B

Modifications to Scenario B and associated case studies seen as appropriate by the Committee, arising from Committee comments made in this scenario and the case studies:

1. In existing residential areas which have a proportion of public housing which is well above that normally provided in residential areas, projects involving redevelopment of parts of those areas should include minimal, if any, new public housing, to assist in reducing the proportion of public housing in the broader area to a normal level.

2. Residential areas encompassing centres should also provide, where appropriate, housing for aged persons, ‘empty nesters’, and students (when relatively convenient to universities and similar).

3. Larger centres should include a readily identified public transport ‘hub’.

4. Residential areas which are not of a ‘nodal’ type (i.e. centre, railway station or coastal mode or similar) should provide for a range of non-single residential housing types adjacent to areas of higher amenity such as public open spaces, small centres and schools, however provision of such housing types in areas which do not have such amenity values to the extend as shown on the Banksia Grove Scenario B case study would not be supported at this time. However, such areas should be designed in a ‘robust’ manner so as to be capable of redevelopment for other housing types in the very long term.

5. Housing types need to be provided in appropriate locations for people who have needs for larger space consuming requirements such as parking of boats and caravans.

6. Nodal areas such as centre and railways station nodes which may not possess existing ‘attractors’ for non-single residential housing types other than their respective commercial/civic and transport attractions may need to augment those amenities with other attractors such as high quality open space areas.

7. For coastal nodes:

a) Proposals need to account for any especially sensitive environmental factors which may be present in these areas.

b) Proposals whose objective is retention of existing environmental features through low intensity form of development require careful assessment to determine if that objective is indeed attainable.

c) Building heights need special consideration and effective forms of control, when warranted.

d) Economic basis (ie local employment opportunities) requires consideration.

Needs to be recognised that some forms of more intense housing may require presence of other ‘attractors’ in addition to the coast itself (eg. Hotels, restaurants), and that some high intensity projects may require a ‘critical mass’ to be viable.

1.	Wanneroo Wolves	Under 14 Girls National Basketball Competition to be held in Darwin from the 3 – 9 October 2005.	APPROVE a donation of $200.00 to the Wanneroo Wolves for the sponsorship of Tahli Raftery to support her participation in the Under 14 Girls National Basketball Competition to be held in Darwin in October 2005.	This request satisfies the criteria of the policy.
2.	Jaguars Softball Club	State School Girls Softball Tournament held in Brisbane on 30 April 2005	NOT APPROVE a donation to the Jaguars Softball Club for sponsorship of Nikki Hollett to support her participation in the State School Girls Softball Tournament held in Brisbane on 30 April 2005.	The policy states that only residents of the City of Wanneroo will be supported with sponsorship. Nikki does not reside in the City of Wanneroo.

3.	Basketball Western Australia	Under 16 Girls National Basketball Championships to be held in Canberra from 9 – 16 July 2005	APPROVE a donation to Basketball Western Australia for the sponsorship of Gabriella Clayton to support her participation in the Under 16 Girls National Basketball Championships to be held in Canberra in July 2005.	This request satisfies the criteria of the policy.
4.	Kalamunda Senior High School	Request for a donation towards the school’s annual quiz night to be held on 24 June 2005.	NOT APPROVE a donation request to the Kalamunda Senior High School to support the annual quiz night to be held on 24 June 2005.	This school is not based in the City of Wanneroo nor does it draw any students from the City therefore there is no benefit to the City and the request does not meet the strategic direction of Council.
5.	Wanneroo Agricultural Society	Request for the donation of a major trophy to be awarded for Exhibitor gaining highest points in all sections of Agriculture excluding Horse Events at the 2005 Wanneroo Show.	NOT APPROVE a donation to the Wanneroo Agricultural Society for the purchase of a trophy for the Exhibitor gaining highest points in all sections of Agriculture excluding Horse Events for the 2005 Wanneroo Show.	This request does not satisfy the criteria of the policy as an entry fee is being charged for this event.
6.	Police and Citizens’ Youth Club Inc	Request for sponsorship of less fortunate children to attend the “Quirkus Circus” to be held at the Regal Theatre in July 2005.	NOT APPROVE a request from the Police and Citizens’ Youth Club Inc to sponsor less fortunate children to attend the “Quirkus Circus” in July 2005.	The benefit to the City of Wanneroo residents from this request would be minimal as there are no PCYC’s based in the City.

7.	WA Special Needs Children’s Christmas Party	Request for advertising support to help sponsor and support the annual Special Needs Children’s Christmas Party to be held on Sunday 4 December 2005 at the Claremont Football Oval.

This request does not meet the criteria of the policy, as there will not be a 75% City of Wanneroo representation at the event.
8.	West Coast TAFE Student Scholarship Program 2005	Request for the City to become a scholarship partner to acknowledge and support students who demonstrate a commitment to learning, community involvement through sporting, cultural or volunteer activities and have a clear understanding of their future goals.

The policy states that no support will be given to government organisations unless substantial community benefit can be established. As this request will only benefit one individual, substantial community benefit cannot be established.

Issue

To consider revoking Council’s approval in principal to the Mindarie Regional Council draft Establishment Agreement and request the MRC to reconsider Council’s request for the principal of equity to be used in determining fees and charges and profit distribution.

Background

Council resolved at its Ordinary Council Meeting on 05 April 2005 as follows:-

“That Council:-

1. SUPPORTS the Establishment Agreement and Deed proposed by the Mindarie Regional Council subject to the MRC having granted a permanent exemption in relation to the obligation to deliver items collected from a kerbside recycling programme or green waste collected or accepted for recycling at a council facility, and authorise the execution under common seal of the Establishment Agreement and Deed

2. AUTHORISES the execution under the common seal of the Establishment Agreement and Deed.”

Detail

Council has been concerned in regards to the principals applied to the setting of fees and charges determined by the MRC within the proposed Establishment Agreement. This was highlighted in the report presented to Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 05 April 2005.

“Establishment Agreement

The main concern that Council requested be addressed by the MRC in relation to the last draft Establishment Agreement was a clear enunciation of the principle that Members are charged at cost, i.e. the fees set for members for services provided by the MRC are to reflect only the operational costs associated with providing that class of service.

The City had legal advice that this probably could have been incorporated into Section 4 – Regional Purposes. This has not occurred. An alternative could have been to use Section 5 – Objectives which contains a list of objectives that are not binding on the MRC. The concept of members tipping at cost could have easily been included as another objective to give visibility to the concept.

The report considered by the MRC at its meeting on 22 September 2004, Attachment 3 refers, included the following comment (reflecting their legal advice) on why this issue was not included in the EA.

‘The inclusion of any specific clause with respect to “member fees to be at the actual cost of disposal” is not supported on the basis that these matters are more appropriately dealt with via Local Government Act and financial precept provisions (an issue raised by City of Wanneroo)’

This issue was of concern to the City of Wanneroo because with growth, its tipping quantities will be large compared to its ownership representation on the MRC. The Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council (EMRC) charges members the public rate and this adds significantly to the operational profits. However, they do not distribute the surplus but use it for future facilities. In this way users that contribute more tonnes help pay for a larger portion of the new facilities which is reasonable. An unacceptable situation for the City of Wanneroo would be if the MRC changed to charging members above cost and then Section 9 determines that all of any declared surplus would be distributed in proportion to ownership. The move to secondary waste treatment and its associated higher costs reduces this risk as there is unlikely to be a separate rate set for private use of these facilities.”

The draft Agreement may allow the MRC some time in the future to increase its tipping charges to realise a profit, and return the profits to the Member Councils by way of dividends. If this were to happen it would in all purposes be a subsidy by the larger Councils) and within a few years Wanneroo will have the largest waste volume) to the smaller Councils.

The Draft Agreement would also lock Councils in to a position that they could only withdraw with the condition that existing obligations (debts, etc) would continue to apply to the withdrawing Council Member, regardless whether the debt realised an asset, or a gain, financial or otherwise ] that the withdrawing member would have no share in.

It would also make the withdrawing Council Member responsible for bad decisions by MRC related to those obligations.

Statutory Compliance

The development of an EA by the MRC is needed to comply with the Local Government Act 1995.

Strategic Implications

The structural framework of the MRC will affect how well it performs in meeting the City’s needs and is consistent with the City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2002-2005) goals and strategies.

“Environmental Sustainability

1.2 Develop sustainable waste management practices”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Waste disposal is a significant activity of the City with a current budget of $1.9m, and likely to increase to $4m with secondary waste treatment. It is important that the MRC has an appropriate governance document.

3	Yes	A mixture of unit development and mini lots as per the Landcorp development around the City of Joondalup and University area accordingly.	10 years time	Numerous issues include preserving the three or four allotments from the aged persons/hospital down though to thesubject property Lot 8 Drover’s Place, as a ‘Precinct” with permanent natural bush to the west of the subject property (Lot 8), and the lake to the south. I recommend a LandCorp type development much like Joondalup occur for a specialised locality and ambience be maintained.	The fire station be protected with a higher screen fence.	Maximising a lot yield potential, much like the Joondalup development fronting the lake. This area is considered to be one of the last of many unique localities with close proximity to the major Joondalup City.	Wanneroo locality from the pine forest travelling north, to the low land Chitty development – Special Residential. Chitty’s block, should be purchased by the WA Planning Commission for wetlands. After purchase the remaining high lands sold off to a developer. Lots 1, 2 and 3 comprising vacant land, nursery, vacant land (previously motel). I believe is currently undergoing a zoning change to bulky goods retail, which is commensurate with the Wanneroo Road busy road locality and should be supported. Lot 4 Botanic Golf, has a slight commercial retail use, with the restaurant and associated Botanic Golf have a permitted use with residential underneath. Lot 5 with aged persons retirement village and hospital site has the zoning confirmed. Please obtain a copy of Gill Curry’s Will (Lot 6) which requests his land be partially developed for hostel, men’s accommodation. Lot 6,7 and 8 effectively formed a residential niche with higher density zoning, recommend R60/R40 as there is ample public open space in the locality. Due to a large number of commercial/retail located in Joondalup, no commercial/retail is required in the vicinity of Lots 6, 7 and 8.	No comment
4	Yes	Residential	Within the next 5 years	Coordination of re-zoning	NA	Provision of Services	NA	I am a retiree therefore I envisage a zoning attractive to a developer and most beneficial to me.
5	Yes	Special Residential (0.5 to 1.0 ha lots) with special environmental caveats to protect the rural setting we now enjoy.	As soon as possible. Have been trying for the last 10 years.	A structure plan is needed so that it reflects the current needs of the people living there, meets the need of the greater community to have some degree of access to the lake and provide protection for an important environmental asset the wetlands.	Believe that there are two distinct land components making up the structure plan area and these need to be separated. (1) properties between the pines and Lot 132. They are different and isolated from the properties on the northern end of the lake by a section of swamp that protrudes to the edge of Wanneroo Road at the northern end of 500. The properties south of, and including Lot 501, could be an environmental buffer to protect the lake. Such a buffer does not stop those seeking to walk in a natural type setting along the edge of the lake Joondalup, but deters those seeking access to the Lake’s edge via a vehicle. (2) properties on the northern end of Lake Joondalup and have a variety of uses: industrial (a nursery); recreational (botanical golf); government (fire station); Public Health and Welfare (Retirement Home).	a) Long term family connections to the land. My family has been herre since the 1950’s and should have a say in how their land is developed. They want topreserve a rural environment even though they will be eventually surrounded by urban development. b) Protection of environment. There are parts of the lake that should be protected as much as possible from direct access by people. With the many parks around the Lake, there are parts where all people have easy access, but some parts should be difficult to access and thus provide a relatively safe breeding ground for birds and other animal life. The section from the current residential developments North of Wanneroo and up to Lot 500 could provide such an area. c) recreational value. The edge of the Lake provides opportunities for recreational pursuits within a pleasant environment. The northern properties provide opportunities for recreation (botanical golf) and leisure activies such as gardening (nursery). They may be designated for further development in these domains where people have access to other recreational pursuits. d) Historical. The old house on Part 1, Lot 1034 could part of a historical park that provides a buffer between properties designated for business and recreational pursuits and the properties around Lots 500 and 501 that would form an environmental buffer for par t of the lake.	The properties along the northern end of Lake Joondalup should be treated as separate from those between the pines and lot 132. There is a natural intrusion of the swamp that already separates these two broad areas. The northern properties could be designated recreational or business whereas the others could have a special residential classification with strict caveats that offer some meaningful protection of the environment.
