Council allows a minimum of 15 minutes for public questions and statements at each Council Meeting. If there are not sufficient questions to fill the allocated time, the person presiding will move on to the next item. If there are more questions than can be dealt with in the 15 minutes allotted, the person presiding will determine whether to extend question time.

Mayor Kelly presented a petition with 70 signatures requesting Council to develop Keith Griffith Park at the corner of Hellfire Drive and Rampage Street in Darch.
UPDATE
The development of Keith
Griffiths Park has been included within the City's Draft Forward Capital Works
Program 2008/09 - 2012/13 for consideration. The park has been included
for consideration on the basis that it is currently ranked number three
priority on the City's Dray Parks Register, and has also been assessed by Administration
within other public open space planning strategies. Whilst Keith
Griffiths Park has been included within the draft capital works program it
should be noted that concept planning, in consultation with local residents,
will need to occur prior to any park development taking place. Upon
confirmation of the Draft Forward Capital Works Program 2008/09 -
2012/13, Administration will progress park concept planning to identify capital
funding requirements. The significant pressures on the City's Passive
Park Development Budget should also be acknowledged in combination with
Administration's ability to only complete 2/3 passive park developments each
financial year.

Issue
To consider the Public Health Bill 2008.
Background
In September 2001, Cabinet agreed that the Health Act 1911 be replaced through a phased program of legislative development, involving a Food Bill, an Infectious Diseases Bill and a Bill dealing with other core public health matters.
A discussion paper on a New Public Health Act for Western Australia was released in July 2005, resulting in the development of the Draft Public Health Bill 2008. The Draft Bill is currently in the consultation stage and is open for submissions.
The Draft Public Health Bill is a welcome change to the prescriptive and sometimes unworkable Health Act 1911 (can be viewed at Draft Public Health Bill {http://www.newpublichealthact.health.wa.gov.au/publication/docs/D08 (Exposure) Public Health Bill 2008.pdf}).
Detail
The Draft Public Health Bill provides for a flexible risk based approach in addressing public health risks. The framework allows for substantial preventative measures to be taken and also introduces a suitable infringement and penalty mechanism. This is seen to be a significant improvement from the current Health Act 1911.
In order to move away from a prescriptive approach, the Bill embraces the provision of statutory policies and regulations to assist in its implementation.
The Bill comprises of 18 parts and these are addressed in Attachment 1. Attachment 2 is an additional submission form answering a number of questions relating to the Bill.
Comment
Clearly, there are significant implications for the City in relation to the implementation and administration of the Bill.
Whilst a transitional 2-year period is currently being proposed by the Department of Health, it is unclear how smooth this transitional period will be. The development, through appropriate consultative channels with local government and other stakeholders, of policies, regulations and other frameworks, will be pivotal in being able to carry out the various functions and responsibilities laid out in the Bill. Such development will need to be carried out in the near future, prior to the Act being in force.
The development of local public health plans will be challenging for all local governments, including the City. The Department of Health will need to take responsibility of assisting local governments in the development and implementation of such plans. There will also be a need to ensure that state government is not merely passing on responsibilities, particularly in relation to preventative and monitoring public health programs, to local governments.
Statutory Compliance
As an enforcement agency and public authority under the Act, local government will need to comply with its various requirements.
It is envisaged that statutory policies and regulations will assist local government in meeting its obligations.
Strategic Implications
A re-assessment and review of the City’s roles and functions relating to all facets of public health, not just environmental health, will need to be considered, upon implementation of the Bill. Following the development of a local public health plan, there may be implications setting alternate priorities in the City’s strategic plan.
Policy Implications
There may be policy implications, based on the outcome of the local public health plan.
Financial Implications
There may be financial implications in the future in determining appropriate resources in addressing public health risks within the City.

Draft Public Health Bill 2008
Part 1 - Preliminary
- Objects and Principles: The objects and principles in the Bill seem appropriate and will assist in the ongoing implementation of the Act by providing guidance to enforcement and other agencies, along with the Judiciary. However, it is felt that the first object being “to promote public health and wellbeing and to prevent disease, injury, disability and premature death” is somewhat heavily optimistic and may not necessarily be practical. Notwithstanding, it is acknowledged that the intent is to address matters in a proactive manner and to facilitate preventative programs.
- Terms used in the Act:
- Does not clearly state jurisdictional boundaries, for instance, the term “premises” may be considered to be all-inclusive, and raises the question of where boundaries may end? Clarity is required to determine whether local government, for example, will have jurisdiction for matters that occur within water bodies.
- The term “public health”, defined as the “physical, mental and social wellbeing of the community” requires clarification. Whilst the general principle of the definition is accepted, it is questionable whether all three aspects, that is, physical, mental and social wellbeing, need to be addressed in order to assess if a matter is regarded to be a public health risk. It also raises the question of who may be qualified to address all three aspects? In addition, community is not defined which raises the issue as to what may be regarded as a community. If a person is claiming their health is being affected through an activity of a third party, does this mean that an enforcement agency is unable to take control measures, as an individual is not regarded as a community?
- It is felt that the term “serious public health risk”, being “a public health risk involving potential harm to public health that is irreversible, of a high impact or on a wide scale”, requires amendment, as the wording of irreversible is not clearly defined. Whilst the intent may be that it relates to an incident where the consequence is unable to be altered, it may also exclude incidents where harm may not be irreversible due to the placement of control measures or physical change such as surgery.
- Binding the Crown is strongly supported. However, the inclusion of indigenous communities complying with the same standards as other communities may not be practicable. It is recommended that policies concerning indigenous and other special needs communities be developed, in consultation with relevant stakeholders.
Part 2 - Administration
- It is noted that, under s.13, the CEO (of the Department of Health) is able to direct a local government to take measures that the CEO considers necessary to prevent, control or abate a risk that is considered to be of significant harm to public health.
- There is a requirement for enforcement agencies, such as local government, to report to the CEO of the Department of Health (DoH), “at the intervals that the CEO requires, on the performance of functions under this Act by the agency and by persons employed or engaged by the agency”. This is rather open and may impact significantly on the resources of the local government. Any reporting should be made at a reasonable interval, as it is seen that the reporting of individual agencies to the DoH may be of benefit to better gauge state-wide impact on public health issues. An annual report may be regarded as reasonable.
- It is also noted that local government will be required to forward to the CEO of the DoH, details of any proceedings for an offence under the Act within one month after proceedings have been finally dealt with.
- A clear distinction from the current Health Act, is the designation of authorised officers. Environmental Health Officers, for instance, are not specifically determined to meet the criteria of an authorised officer under the Act. Whilst there is a requirement for an enforcement agency, such a local government, to have regard to any guidelines issued by the CEO of the DoH as to the appropriate qualifications and experience for a person to be designated as an authorised officer, the roles, functions, skills and experience of Environmental Health Officers are not acknowledged in the Act. It is anticipated and recommended that the CEO’s guidelines will make provisions for Environmental Health Officers, who clearly have skills to deal with a significant number of public health issues. It is acknowledged that enforcement agencies will also have the need for those officers with varying other skills to address a variety of public health issues (eg Community Development Officers, Rangers, etc).
Part 3 – General Public Health Duty
- The Bill places a responsibility for a person to “take all reasonable and practicable steps to prevent or minimise any harm to public health that might forseeably result from anything done or omitted to be done by the person”. Whilst this provision allows for flexibility in the administration of the legislation, it is too open. It is recommended that the DoH establish clear statutory policies that may be applied in the administration of this clause.
Part 4 – Serious Public Health Risks and Material Public Health Risks
- The penalties provided in this provision are welcomed and seen to be an essential tool in administering the legislation. It will overcome the frustrations being experienced with the current Health Act 1911 where penalties are quite minimal and not seen to be adequate in discouraging people from committing offences.
- The Bill also proposes penalties for carrying on activities that may cause a public health risk. This will be essential in allowing enforcement agencies the ability to take preventative measures prior to an incident being a public health issue.
Part 5 – Public Health Policies
- It is considered that public health policies will provide an effective framework for detailing requirements, standards, codes and strategies relating to the objects of the Bill and providing for effective mechanisms in protecting the public health of the community.
- However, it should be stressed that, in order to ensure effective governance, the Department of Health will need to ensure that a number of public health policies are put in place during the transitional arrangements of the Act.
Part 6 – Public Health Plans
- The development of State public health plans is highly supported. These state plans will greatly assist local governments in the development of local health plans.
- Local government will be required to develop a local health plan which is to:
- identify the public health needs of the local government district; and
- include an examination of data relating to health status and health determinants in the local government district; and
- establish objectives and policy priorities for (i) the promotion and protection of public health in the local government district; and (ii) the development and delivery of public health services in the local government district; and
- identify how, based on available evidence, the objectives and policy priorities…are proposed to be achieved; and
- describe how the local government proposes to work with the CEO and other bodies undertaking public health initiatives, projects and programmes to achieve the objectives and policy priorities…; and
- include a strategic framework for the identification, evaluation and management of public health risks in the local government district and any other matters relating to public health risks in the local government district (i) that the local government considers it appropriate to include in the plan; or (ii) that are required to be included in the plan by the CEO, a public health policy or the regulations; and
- include a report, in accordance with any relevant public health policy, on the performance by the local government of its functions under this Act.
- Whilst the development of Environmental Health Plans (EHPs) is not a new concept to local government, including the City of Wanneroo, the proposed local public health plans will go beyond what EHPs have previously achieved. EHPs have predominantly focussed solely on environmental health issues that have been addressed by various subsidiary legislation made under the Health Act 1911. They have traditionally captured matters associated with food and water safety, public buildings, effluent disposal, large public events, skin penetration premises, vermin and vector control, and the like. The proposed local public health plans, however, will capture a greater spectrum of public health issues and will require local government to perhaps consider public health issues that may have previously been dealt with by state agencies or public health units. It is unclear how local government will be able to access data “relating to health status and health determinants in the local government district”, along with being able to undertake a number of promotional programmes for issues that have traditionally been undertaken by state government.
Clearly, the Department of Health will need to take responsibility to establish guidelines as to what should be captured in local public health plans as local governments should not be expected to take on duties that should lie with state government, particularly as the Bill does not indicate that resources will be provided to local government to develop such plans.
- It is concerning that the local public health plans are too inclusive and it is unclear how extensive they need to be.
- The Department of Health will need to provide public health data to local government to assist in the development of local public health plans.
- The requirement for public health plans to be reviewed each year is too onerous on local government and inconsistent with other the review period for other plans such as strategic plans, etc. It is proposed that a 5-year period is more realistic, practical and achievable. It is envisaged that the plan will be treated as a living document that is open for constant review during this period.
- The requirement for local public health plans to be replaced 3 years after it was prepared is unrealistic, impractical and onerous on local government. A more realistic period would be 5 years, which will be consistent with local government strategic plans.
Part 7 – Public Health Assessments
- A new element in public health legislation is the introduction of public health assessments. This is long overdue in Western Australia and is strongly supported. It is envisaged that the process will generally fall under the current Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. However, there should also be a mechanism in place that requires public health assessments for proposals that may not necessarily require an EIA.
- Local Governments should be able to recommend to the CEO of the DoH that a public health assessment is needed.
- It is supported that the Department of Health be the agency to which public health assessments are referred.
- In relation to s.46, the CEO should seek to consult with the relevant local government authority prior to making recommendations to the decision making authority.
Part 8 – Registration and Licensing
- The provisions relating to registration and licensing, particularly in terms of the local government being able to set its own fees under the provisions of the Local Government Act, is supported.
- The mechanism for registration and licensing through declaration of a public health risk activity that is registrable and/or licensable in either regulation or a public health policy is supported.
- It is anticipated that local government will be consulted in the creation of such policy or regulation.
- The appropriate enforcement agency needs to be clearly defined in the public health policy or regulation.
Part 9 – Notifiable Diseases
- The role of local government is not clearly addressed in this part of the Bill. There is a concern in relation to food borne diseases whereby the current practice is for local government, who is responsible for ensuring food safety is maintained at food premises, generally investigate incidence of food borne illnesses. This is particularly advantageous as it allows the local government to investigate potential causes in a timely manner and to take action if it is suspected that a premise within its jurisdiction is potentially responsible for the illness.
Part 10 - Serious Public Health Incident Powers
- The provisions relating to this part are supported.
Part 11 – Public Health Emergencies
- The provisions relating to the part are generally supported, however, there may be significant local government resource implications with regard to s.105, with the CEO of the DoH directing local government to assist in the development and implementation of a public health emergency plan.
Part 12 – Compensation and Insurance
- The provisions relating to this part are supported.
Part 13 – Improvement Notices and Enforcement Orders
- The provisions relating to the issuance of improvement notices and enforcement orders are supported, however, some provisions need to be amended/addressed.
- s.140(1) states:
- If an authorised officer is satisfied, after carrying out an appropriate inspection, that an improvement notice has been complied with, the officer is to give the person given the improvement notice a notice of compliance.
- This is highly problematic and impractical, as it specifically requires for an inspection to be carried out by that authorised officer. There may be many instances where this may not be achievable or necessary. For example, an authorised officer may be satisfied that an improvement notice has been complied with by receipt of a compliance certificate from a suitably qualified person (whose services may have been contracted by the person on whom the improvement notice was issued). Another example may be that another officer may carry out an inspection, rather than the authorised officer that is able to issue a notice of compliance.
- As such, it is recommended that the wording be amended to remove after carrying out an appropriate inspection.
- Similarly, s.140(3) states:
- If an authorised officer is not satisfied, after carrying out an appropriate inspection, that the improvement notice has been complied with, the officer is to give the person given the improvement notice setting out the reasons why the officer is not satisfied.
- For reasons stated above, it is recommended that the wording be amended to remove after carrying out an appropriate inspection.
- Similarly, s.144(1) states:
- The enforcement agency that gave an enforcement order to a person is to give a certificate of clearance to the person if the enforcement agency finds, by the enforcement agency’s own inspection or the report of an authorised officers inspection that (a) the person has complied with the order and any improvement notice given to the person; and (b) if applicable, there is no longer a serious public health risk to be prevented or mitigated.
- For reasons stated above, along with the foreseeable possibility that a local government (or any other enforcement agency for that matter) may employ the services of a suitably qualified consultant to investigate an incident, it is recommended that the wording of this clause be amended to remove the requirement for the enforcement agency to carry out an inspection.
- s.145 allows for a person “at any time after an enforcement order has been given to the person, make a written request to the enforcement agency that gave the order to make an inspection”. s.145(2) further states that “through no fault of the person who made the request the inspection is not conducted within the period of 48 hours after the receipt of the request by the enforcement agency, a certificate of clearance is to be taken to have been given to the person”.
- There are a number of elements that should not be supported by the City.
- The 48 hour period is impractical and possibly unachievable. For example, if a person were to submit a written request to the local government on a Friday evening, say 6pm, by facsimile, can it be taken that receipt of the request has been made if the sending of the facsimile was successful? If so, then it is considered that a certificate of clearance has been given to the person by Sunday evening, prior to an authorised officer receiving such a request on (assumingly) Monday morning on the basis that, generally, incoming mail is not processed outside normal business hours. And what would the consequences to the community be, particularly if Monday were a public holiday?
- As such, clarification is sought in relation to what is deemed to be “receipt” of a request.
- Also, the 48 hour clause should clearly be removed and replaced with within two working days. It is agreed that attending to such a request should be a high priority, as such, two working days is practicable, realistic and just.
Part 14 – Inquiries
- The provisions relating to this part are supported.
Part 15 – Powers of Entry, Inspection and Seizure
- The provisions relating to this part are generally supported, however, a number of clarifications are sought.
- s.161 states, “an authorised officer exercising a power under section 160 may be assisted by a police officer or other person”.
- Clarification is sought as to whether the police officer or other person will have the powers of the authorised person at that time. This may be needed in assisting the authorised person with examining any matter and requesting information etc.
- Clarification is sought in relation to s.167(1) which states, “a warrant may be executed only by the authorised officer to whom it was issued”. It would be preferable if the enforcement agency, or any representative or authorised officer of the enforcement agency may execute the warrant, rather than one specific authorised person.
Part 16 – Infringement Notices
- The provisions relating to this part are supported.
Part 17 – Procedural and Evidentiary Provisions
- s.195(1) states “proceedings for an offence under this Act may be instituted by the CEO or by an authorised officer authorised in writing by the CEO”.
- This clause is not supported.
- The clause can only be supported if local government, and other enforcement agencies, were able to institute proceedings for offences.
Part 18 – Miscellaneous
- The provisions relating to this part are supported
Schedule 1 – Matters For Which Regulations May be Made
- The provisions relating to this part are supported.
Other Matters Not Included In Public Health Bill 2008
- Immunisation:
The City of Wanneroo currently provides an immunisation service. The Health Act 1911 allows for local government to provide an immunisation service. It is anticipated that this service should continue through an appropriate mechanism.

Submission Form
1. Are the draft principles and objects appropriate?
Yes - The objects and principles in the Bill seem appropriate and will assist in the ongoing implementation of Act by providing guidance to enforcement and other agencies along with the Judiciary. However, it is felt that the first object being “to promote public health and wellbeing and to prevent disease, injury, disability and premature death” is somewhat heavily optimistic and may not necessarily be practical. Notwithstanding, it is acknowledged that the intent is to address matters in a proactive manner and to facilitate preventative programs.
2. Will public health policies provide an effective framework for detailing requirements and standards relating to the objects of the Act and effectively protecting and promoting the health of Western Australians?
Yes - It is considered that public health policies will provide an effective framework for detailing requirements, standards, codes and strategies relating to the objects of the Act and providing for effective mechanisms in protecting the public health of the community.
However, it should be stressed that, in order to ensure effective governance, the Department of Health will need to ensure that a number of public health policies are put in place during the transitional arrangements of the Act, and that appropriate consultation with relevant stakeholders is carried out.
3. Is the scheme for registration and licensing adequate for the effective identification and control of activities that pose a risk to public health?
Yes - The provisions relating to registration and licensing, particularly in terms of the local government being able to set its own fees under the provisions of the Local Government Act, is supported.
The mechanism for registration and licensing through declaration of a public health risk activity that is registrable and/or licensable in either regulation or a public health policy is supported.
It is anticipated that local government will be consulted in the creation of such policy or regulation.
The appropriate enforcement agency needs to be clearly defined in the public health policy or regulation.
4. Does this part relating to Notifiable diseases provide sufficient balance in protecting public health and ensuring individual rights?
Yes – However, the role of local government is not clearly addressed in this part of the Bill. There is a concern in relation to food borne diseases whereby the current practice is for local government, who is responsible for ensuring food safety is maintained at food premises, generally investigate incidence of food borne illnesses. This is particularly advantageous as it allows the local government to investigate potential causes in a timely manner and to take action if it is suspected that a premise within its jurisdiction is potentially responsible for the illness.
5. Do the provisions provide the necessary legislative tools to effectively plan against and respond to public health emergencies?
Yes, however, there may be significant local government resource implications with regard to s.105, with the CEO of the DoH directing local government to assist in the development and implementation of a public health emergency plan. However, the provisions are generally supported.
6. Do these provisions provide a fair process for compensation and insurance?
Yes.
7. Do these provisions provide an effective framework for public health assessment on identified proposals?
Yes – such a framework is long overdue in Western Australia and is strongly supported. It is envisaged that the process will generally fall under the current Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. However, there should also be a mechanism in place that requires public health assessments for proposals that may not necessarily require an EIA.
Local Governments should be able to recommend to the CEO that a public health assessment is needed
It is supported that the Department of Health be the agency to which public health assessments are referred.
In relation to s.46, the CEO should seek to consult with the relevant local government authority prior to making recommendations to the decision making authority.
8. Are the powers of authorised officers adequate for protecting public health bearing in mind the principles to be applied at the beginning of the Bill (such as principle of proportionality)?
Yes - the provisions relating to this part are generally supported, however, a number of clarifications are sought.
s.161 states, “an authorised officer exercising a power under section 160 may be assisted by a police officer or other person”. Clarification is sought as to whether the police officer or other person will have the powers of the authorised person at that time. This may be needed in assisting the authorised person with examining any matter and requesting information etc.
Clarification is also sought in relation to s.167(1) which states, “a warrant may be executed only by the authorised officer to whom it was issued”. It would be preferable if the enforcement agency, or any representative or authorised officer of the enforcement agency may execute the warrant, rather than one specific authorised person.
9. Does the proposed scheme of improvement notices and enforcement orders provide effective mechanisms to prevent and mitigate risks to public health?
Yes.
10. Do these provisions provide and adequate framework for the administration of the Bill?
Yes - with the exception of s. 195(1) which states “proceedings for an offence under this Act may be instituted by the CEO or by an authorised officer authorised in writing by the CEO”. This clause is not supported as it does not provide for local government, and other enforcement agencies, to initiate legal proceedings.
11. Do the inquiry powers provide effective investigation and reporting arrangements in relation to matters that might be the basis of a public health inquiry?
Yes.
12. Does the Bill provide the appropriate tools to prevent risks to public health?
Yes – particularly with the introduction of statutory and non-statutory policies, the tools provided are risk based, allowing flexibility in addressing contemporary public health risks – a significant improvement from the current Health Act 1911.

Issue
To consider the public submissions and adoption of Amendment No.1 to the Neerabup Industrial Area Agreed Structure Plan No.17 (ASP).
Applicant |
Taylor Burrell Barnett on behalf of Landcorp. |
Owner |
Various |
Location |
Neerabup Industrial Area |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Background
The ASP includes the Final Surface Contour Plan (FSCP), which identifies the finished contour levels to provide a basic framework to accommodate extraction of limestone resources in Neerabup Industrial Area (NIA) and for the coordination of ultimate ground levels for future subdivision and development. Attachment 1 contains a copy of the ASP.
As per this FSCP it was revealed that 19 million cubic metres of excess non-commercial earth would be required to be removed from the site at an estimated cost of $200million resulting in the NIA project likely to becoming unfeasible. The applicant has therefore reviewed the FSCP and has requested an amendment to the ASP in consultation with the City, considering the following matters:
· Maintain grades suitable for industrial development;
· Provide suitable level changes between property boundaries;
· Provide scope for sites to be independent in achieving levels through cut and fill balance;
· Enable suitable grades and direction for drainage and wastewater services; and
· Coordinate the new levels into existing roads and proposed roads.
The amended FSCP depicting the current and amended final contour levels is illustrated in Attachment 2. A copy of a larger plan is placed in the Elected Member’s Reading Room.
On 1 February 2008 the Acting Director Planning and Development, under delegated authority from Council, considered the amendment proposal as part of Omnibus Amendment No.3A to various ASPs and resolved to advertise it for a period of 21 days (refer Powerdocs. No.665321). This Amendment will replace the current FSCP with the amended Plan.
Detail
The proposed amendment does not affect the currently proposed finished contour levels of Lot 21 under the ownership of Cockburn Cements Limited (CCL), as they were reluctant to any change in levels. The amendment, therefore, only relates to the remaining ASP area.
The revised finished contour levels will result in less excavation, particularly on Lots 4 and 22 where the Meridian Park industrial lots will be created through a joint venture between the City and LandCorp. The amended finished contour levels will be higher than those originally proposed in ASP 17 between 2 and 16 metres.
The amended contour levels coordinate with the design levels of Flynn Drive.
Consultation
The amendment was advertised by way of two on-site signs, an advertisement in the Wanneroo Times and on the City’s website and letters to all landowners in the ASP area. The submission period closed on 11 March, 2008, and three submissions were received, from the Department of Industry and Resources (DOIR), CCL and the applicant respectively. While DOIR and CCL have raised some concerns about the proposal, the applicant supplemented additional information to the proposals.
Smart Growth Strategy
The proposal satisfies the City’s Smart Growth Strategy’s Principles 5.2 – Effective Use of Land and Infrastructure, and 5.5 - Long Term Economic Health.
Comment
A. Response to the Submissions
The main issues raised by the submissions, together with a comment on each are outlined below.
Issue 1 - Priority Resource Location
Lot 21 and the northern portion of Lot 22 are Priority Resource Locations for future basic raw materials extraction.
Comment
The DOIR has advised that LandCorp should be encouraged to ensure maximum extraction of Limestone within the northern portion of Lot 22 since the south-eastern section of Lot 22 contains lower grade limestone that has been deemed uneconomic to extract. The applicant has advised that LandCorp would undertake some limestone extraction in the northern portion of Lot 22 prior to subdivision and fill the extracted land to the proposed finished contour levels. In this regard it is recommended that no further subdivision be supported in respect to the northern portion of Lot 22 until such time limestone extraction is undertaken to the satisfaction of the DOIR.
Recommendation
That the issue be noted.
Issue 2 - Major Cement (Clinker) Plant
CCL possibly establishing a major Cement Plant on Lot 21 with a life span of about 50 years.
Comment
CCL is the sole manufacturer of clinker in WA. If a significant limestone resource is not available for clinker production in close proximity to the metropolitan area, the cost of manufacturing clinker in WA will be prohibitive, and the State loses a significant manufacturing industry. The Environmental Protection Authority’s recommended buffers are 1000 to 2000 metres from a cement manufacturing plant (depending on the size) to sensitive land uses, such as those being proposed in Meridian Park.
In this regard it is noted that the NIA when developed is expected to provide about 20,000 jobs. Given the extent of land required for the Cement Plant and the recommended buffer, such a proposal will result in NIA not providing the estimated jobs.
Lot 21 is zoned General Industrial Zone in the ASP wherein under the provisions of the DPS2, the use class “Industry-Hazardous” is a Discretionary Use. Hence when a development application is submitted for the Cement Plan, it will be considered by the City based on its merits and the objectives of the ASP and the City’s Employment Policy.
Recommendation
That the issue be noted.
B. Other issues
Co-ordination of Levels with Lot 21
CCL does not object to the amended FSCP provided the originally proposed contour levels within Lot 21 are not affected. LandCorp has advised CCL that its future development will not be affected by the changes. In this regard the proposed levels within Lot 22 will need to be amended to accommodate servicing to the original levels of Lot 21.
Attachment 3 depicts the subdivision plan approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission for the southern portion of Lot 22. As per this plan, a north-south service road and some east-west roads are proposed. Some proposed industrial lots are likely to gain access from these roads. This subdivision plan also depicts the finished contour levels and the 3-metre batter as shown in the amended FSCP. Since the proposed batter may not facilitate coordination between Lots 21 and 22, it is recommended that the FSCP be modified accordingly within Lot 22. It is also recommended that the modified FSCP depict the contour levels of the existing topography of the land in order to assess the amount of cut and fill required for the subdivision/development.
Statutory Compliance
The structure plan amendment has followed the procedures outlined in Part 9 of District Planning Scheme No.2.
Strategic Implications
The proposal satisfies the following Outcome Objective of the Strategic Plan for 2006 to 2021:
“3.1 Increase availability of serviced industrial land”
Policy Implications

Issue
To consider an application for the development of a residential outbuilding at 4 Weymouth Boulevard, Quinns Rocks.
Applicant |
Dennis Kelly |
Owner |
Dennis Kelly |
Location |
Lot 17 (4) Weymouth Boulevard, Quinns Rocks |
Site Area |
0.0734 ha |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Residential |
Background
An application for a residential outbuilding at 4 Weymouth Boulevard, Quinns Rocks was submitted to the City on 6 December 2007. Amended plans were submitted to the City on 12 February 2008. The subject property is located 17.0metres east of the intersection of Weymouth Boulevard and Ocean Beach Drive (refer to Location Map, Attachment 1).
Detail
The amended application proposes the construction of a 70.96sqm outbuilding to the rear of an existing two storey dwelling with a 100mm rear setback and 1248 and 1209mm side setbacks respectively (refer to Site Plan, Attachment 2). The proposed wall and ridge heights are 2657 and 3981mm respectively. The building is proposed to be constructed in the same materials as the dwelling comprising rendered brickwork and colorbond roofing (refer to Elevations, Attachment 3).
The applicant is requesting variations to the acceptable development provisions of the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) as follows:
· Building area larger than 60sqm
· Wall height exceeding 2400mm
· Rear setback of 100mm in lieu of the 1500mm required
The lot is zoned ‘Residential’ under District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2) with a density Code of R20. The development of an outbuilding is a permitted use in this zone.
Consultation
The applicant requested comments from the adjoining neighbours to his original proposal, with one of them objecting to it. The amended plans were forwarded to this neighbour on 27 February 2008 and the City received a submission objecting to the modified proposals.
Comment
Response to the Submission
The main issues raised in the submission, together with a comment on each are outlined below:
Issue 1. Height
The objector stated that the proposed outbuilding is too high.
Comments
The objector’s residence is located on a site, which is 1170mm above the natural ground level of the subject property. With a 1700mm colorbond fence on top of the limestone retaining wall, the total height on the boundary from the subject lot would be 2870mm. Considering this height, the outbuilding with a proposed wall height of 2657mm is not likely to impact on the objector’s residence. The proposed ridge height of 3981mm complies with the R-Codes provisions, which is 4200mm.
That the issue not be supported.
Issue 2 – Side Setback
The objector stated that the building would be an eyesore if it were right up against the fence.
Comments
Being an outbuilding at the rear side of an existing dwelling with a maximum ridge height less than 4200mm permissible in the R-Codes, the proposal is not considered to be an eyesore.
That the issue not be supported
Issue 3 – Size of the Outbuilding
The objector questioned the size of the outbuilding and believes that the acceptable development provisions of the R-Codes should be adhered to.
Comments
The applicant has advised that the proposed outbuilding is to be used as a personal gymnasium, to secure leisure equipment, tools and household goods and to provide a covered work area. The finishes of the outbuilding to match the existing dwelling have been selected by the applicant in order to eliminate any visual impact on adjoining neighbours.
The R-Codes permits Council to consider variations to the Acceptable Development provisions (Clause 2.3) based on some Performance Criteria. One of the Performance Criteria in regard to Outbuilding as per Clause 3.10.1 of the R-Codes is as follows:
“Outbuildings that do not detract from the streetscape or the visual amenity of residents or neighbouring properties.”
The proposed outbuilding will not be visible from Weymouth Boulevard and over half of the rear wall of the proposed outbuilding will abut an existing garage parapet wall. The proposal along with the existing dwelling will result in 63% open space on the property, which exceeds the 50% required as per the R-Codes. It is therefore considered that the proposal will not produce any impact on the adjoining residence.
Recommendation
That the issue not be supported.
Statutory Compliance
The application has been processed in accordance with the requirements of the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2.
Strategic Implications
The proposal satisfies the following Outcome Objective of the City’s Strategic Plan for 2006 – 2021:
“2.1 Increase quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications

Recommendation
That Council APPROVES the application submitted by Dennis Kelly for the proposed residential outbuilding on Lot 17 (4) Weymouth Boulevard, Quinns Rocks, subject to the following conditions:
1. This approval only relates to the proposed outbuilding as indicated on the approved plans. It does not relate to any other development on the lot.
2. The use of the outbuilding must remain ancillary to the residential use of the property and not be used for commercial or industrial purposes, or for human habitation.
3. All stormwater shall be collected and retained on site.
4. Boundary walls shall be provided to the satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo.
5. The colours, design and materials of the proposed outbuilding shall compliment the existing dwelling as indicated on the approved plans to the satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo.

Issue
To consider an application for a single house on Lot 346 (23) Swansea Promenade, Mindarie
Applicant |
Nicholas Hicks |
Owner |
Nicholas Hicks and Katrina Hicks |
Location |
Lot 346 (23) Swansea Promenade, Mindarie |
Site Area |
0.0381 ha |
DPS 2 Zoning |
Marina Zone |
Background
The subject property, located within the Mindarie Keys Harbourside Village Agreed Structure Plan (ASP) area, is currently vacant. The lots on either side contain a two-storey dwelling (refer to Location Map, Attachment 1). Access to the property, which is a laneway lot, can be gained only via Mistley Lane located to the rear. A development application for the proposed construction of a two-storey single house on the subject land was submitted to the City on 26 March 2008 (refer to Site Plan, Attachment 2 and Elevations, Attachment 3). Being subject to the provisions of the Detailed Area Plan (DAP) No.1 of the ASP, the applicant has requested some variations to the DAP provisions. Additionally, the applicant has also requested variations to some Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) provisions.
Detail
The variations to the DAP provisions are as follows:
· Construction of a garage parapet wall on the eastern boundary in lieu of the 1.0metre (m) setback required; and
· Setback of 1.5m to the ground floor along the eastern boundary, which is the designated solar boundary, in lieu of the 2.0m setback required.
The variations to the R-Codes provisions are as follows:
· Setback of 800mm to the ground floor western boundary in lieu of the 1.5m required;
· Setback between 800 and 1800mm to the first floor western boundary in lieu of the 3.8m required; and
· First floor cone of vision into the adjoining western property.
In the ASP the lot is zoned ‘Residential Zone’ with a density coding of R30. The use class ‘Single house’ is a permitted (‘P’) use in this zone.
Consultation
The applicant requested comments from the adjoining neighbours and the City received one submission.
Comment
Response to the Submission
The main issues raised by the submission, together with a comment on each are outlined below:
Issue 1. Subsidence of existing retaining wall
The objector contends that the proposed nil set back to the garage wall would result in the possible subsidence of the existing retaining wall due to deep excavation along the wall supporting his dwelling and the possibility of cracks appearing immediately or later to the parapet wall and boundary brick fencing (refer to photograph in Attachment 4).
Comment
The proposal requires an excavation up to 930mm along the base of an existing retaining and single storey boundary wall. The City’s Building Services Unit has confirmed that the excavation and construction of the retaining wall could be undertaken without compromising the structural integrity of the adjoining retaining wall. In this regard the following condition is recommended:
“The submission of a report from a practicing structural engineer certifying that the proposed development will maintain the structural integrity of the existing retaining wall, along with the building licence application.”
In regard to the proposed “Nil” side set back for the garage it is noted that while it does not comply with the requirements of the DAP that requires a 1.0m setback, it does comply with the “Nil” side setback requirement in the ASP and the R-Codes provisions in Clause 3.2, which allows a boundary wall.
Recommendation
That the issue be addressed by including the above-mentioned condition in the development approval.
Issue 2. Maintenance of parapet wall or brick fence.
Future maintenance of parapet wall or brick fence requiring repair would not be possible.
Comment
As an acceptable development, Clause 3.3.2 of the R-Codes relating to ‘Buildings on Boundary’, allows walls abutting an existing or simultaneously constructed wall of similar or greater dimension. Maintenance of such walls is possible from inside the residence.
Recommendation
That the issue not be supported.
Issue 3. Possibility of high noise disturbance
Possibility of high noise disturbance from power tools used in the adjoining garage.
Comment
Power tools are considered specified equipment and the use is regulated by the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997. However, if there are any concerns of non-compliance, the objector could direct his concerns to the City’s Health Services.
Recommendation
That the issue be noted.
Issue 4 Reduction of solar setback to 1.5m at ground level in lieu of 2.0m
A solar setback of 2.0m should be maintained at least to a distance of 5.0m from the front boundary in order to avoid the loss of sunlight to their existing front garden sitting area.
Comment
The proposal provides a ground floor setback of 1.5m and an upper floor setback of 2.0m to the eastern boundary, which is a designated solar setback as per the DAP. The front garden sitting area of the objector’s lot to the east has a ground level of 11.31m, which is one metre higher than the proposed finished ground floor level of the subject property. The second storey balcony and ground floor portico area of the objector’s dwelling is setback 3.0m from the front boundary, whereas the front setback of the proposed dwelling is 3.8m. Consequently, there would be little impact on the provision of sunlight to the front garden sitting area of the objector’s residence.
Recommendation
That the issue not be supported.
Issue 5 Adjoining property will assume a semi detached appearance to the rear
The objector is concerned that his property will appear connected to the subject property through a boundary wall constructed against the existing parapet wall.
Comment
The objector’s dwelling is well elevated above the subject lot. The staggered setbacks and the height difference would provide adequate definition of the two properties.
Recommendation
That the issue not be supported.
Issue 6 Adherence to guidelines should be held firm to all parties
The Site Guidelines imposed by Mirvac Fini (developer) for each lot and the Residential Plan for ‘The Wharf’ have been signed and accepted by the purchaser of the lots. Hence departure from these guidelines is unnecessary.
Comments
Mirvac’s ‘Wharf Design Committee’ has approved the proposal as submitted, offering no objections to the variations from the DAP or the R-Codes subject to the City’s confirmation. The City considers the Wharf Design Committee’s endorsement of a building design as ‘supporting advice’ when assessing applications. Clause 3.4.2 of the ASP indicates that the DAP shall guide residential development. Variations to the DAP are assessed by the City based on their merits.
Recommendation
That the issue not be supported.
General Comments
DAP Variations
Considering the matters discussed above it is recommended that the following variations to the DAP be approved.
· Construction of a garage parapet wall on the eastern boundary in lieu of the 1.0m setback required; and
· Setback of 1.5m to the ground floor along the eastern boundary in lieu of the 2.0m setback required.
R–Codes variation
As regards the variations to the R-Codes in relation to reduced setback and cone of vision, it is noted that the owner of the adjoining property to the west has provided his consent to these variations. As such, the following variations are supported.
· Setback of 800mm to the ground floor western boundary in lieu of the 1.5m required;
· Setback between 800 and 1800mm to the first floor western boundary in lieu of the 3.8m required; and
· First floor cone of vision into the adjoining western property.
Statutory Compliance
The application has been processed in accordance with the requirements of the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2.
Strategic Implications
The proposal satisfies the following Outcome Objective of the City’s Strategic Plan for 2006 – 2021:
“2.1 Increase quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options.”
Policy Implications
Nil.

Background
On 26 March 2007, the City received a building licence application from the applicant for the proposed construction of a Single House on the subject land. Attachment 1 contains the site map, and Attachments 2 and 3 contain the floor plan and elevation of the dwelling respectively. The site is zoned Residential Zone in the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No.2 (DPS2) with a density coding of R20. Hence, the provisions of the RD Codes for R20 will apply in this instance.
Since the proposal did not comply with the provisions of the RD Codes relating to site coverage, front setback of the garage and the dwelling, and with the City’s policy on “Establishing Building Pad Levels, Excavation, Fill and Retaining Associated with Residential Development”, the applicant was requested to justify these variations in writing. On 9 May 2007 the City approved the Building Licence for the plans as submitted by the applicant without the above being addressed.
Having received the Building Licence, the applicant commenced construction of the dwelling. without taking into consideration the concerns the City had with respect to the variations. The approved building plan depicted the proposed residence at a Reduced Level (RL) at 11.3 metres (m), while the existing finished floor level (FFL) of the dwellings on either side of the site were at 10.5 and 11.0m respectively.
The City received complaints from the adjoining neighbours to the effect that the applicant was progressing with the construction work and had laid the concrete floor slab. Attachment 4 contains the photos of the site depicting the concrete floor slab and its impact on the adjoining houses.
On 1 November 2007, the applicant was served with a stop-work notice and a Town Planning and Development Act Direction to remove the as constructed works.
Subsequently, the applicant requested the City’s retrospective approval of the aforementioned variations to the RD Codes and the City’s policy.
Detail
The variations requested by the applicant and his justification are as follows:
1. Greater than 50% site coverage
The RD Codes prescribe maximum 50% site coverage for R20 lots but the applicant has requested for 55.79% coverage to accommodate the growing needs of his family, which requires large rooms.
2. Lesser Garage front setback
The RD Codes require a minimum of 4.5m front setback for garage. The applicant has proposed a front setback varying between 4.410 and 4.5m.
3. Lesser front setback of the dwelling
The front setback of the proposal does not average 6.0m as per the provisions of the RD Codes. The applicant has cited a larger house to meet his family needs as the reason for reducing the front setback.
4. Greater than 0.3m average fill
The City’s Policy indicates “the importation of fill to increase the building pad level shall generally be limited to no more than 0.3m above the average building pad level of the site.” The applicant however has advised that the fill amounted to 0.475m above the average building pad level of the site and that the contractor had made an honest mistake. The applicant’s contractors have advised that the owner will supply any retaining walls and new fences on the boundary to rectify this mistake. The applicant has advised that he will comply with this in lieu of removing the concrete slab.
Consultation
The City wrote to the adjoining five neighbours requesting comments on the development proposal. In response, the City received four submissions objecting to the proposal.
Comment
A. Response to the Submissions
The main issues raised by the submissions, together with a comment on each is outlined below:
Issue 1 - Loss of Privacy
The dwelling proposed to be built on a higher level will impact on the privacy of the surrounding houses.
Comment
The City surveyed the FFL of the constructed pad level to be at 11.49 metres, refer Attachment 5. As a result, the FFL of this slab will be 0.990 and 0.490m higher than the FFL of the respective adjoining residences. Consequently, the proposed dwelling when constructed will impact on the privacy of the surrounding residences.
Recommendation
That the issue be upheld.
Issue 2 – Tower over adjoining houses
The proposed dwelling will tower over the surrounding houses and would look odd and out of place.
Comment
Since the subject dwelling is proposed to be built higher than the surrounding houses, it would be out of place in the neighbourhood.
Recommendation
That the issue be upheld.
Issue 3 – Fence blocking the natural light
Fence erected around the proposed dwelling will block the light.
Comment
As indicated by one of the submittors residing on the southern side of the subject land, any fence of the development would block light into this residence.
Recommendation
That the issue be upheld.
Issue 4 – Reduced front setback of the garage
The reduced front setback of the garage could affect the sight lines.
Comment
The RD Codes prescribe a front setback of 4.5m for garage. The proposed front setback varies between 4.41 and 4.5m. Since this variation would neither affect the streetscape nor the traffic movement, it is considered to be acceptable.
Recommendation
That the issue not be supported.
B. Proposed variations
RD Codes
1. Greater than 50% site coverage:
The RD Codes make provision for a minimum of 50% open space around buildings in R20 coded areas. This open space is required to complement the building and to allow attractive streetscapes. As a result of this open space requirement, the RD Codes allow a maximum site coverage of 50%. All the adjoining dwellings having been constructed with 50% site coverage, a coverage of 55.79% is not supported. Furthermore, by allowing a greater site coverage, it would set an undesirable precedent.
2. Lesser Garage front setback
The applicant has proposed a varying setback of between 4.41 and 4.5m. This slight variation is recommended as it would neither affect the streetscape nor the sight lines.
3. Lesser front setback of the dwelling
The RD Codes prescribe an average front setback of 6.0m but the subject proposal averages to 5.5m. Since this variation would not affect the streetscape, it is considered appropriate.
4. Greater than 0.3m average fill
As per the City’s policy, the additional fill shall not be more than 0.3m above the average building pad level of the site. The average pad level of the site is 10.778 metres, therefore the increased pad level should have been at 11.078m. The pad has been constructed at 11.490.
As previously mentioned, a building licence was issued by the City indicating the pad level at a level of 11.300m. Adding the normal thickness of 0.1m for the concrete slab, the FFL should have been at a maximum of 11.400m. The applicant however has built the slab at 11.490m, 0.190 mm higher than approved, refer Attachment 5.
A dwelling constructed at a FFL of 11.490m would impact on the privacy of the adjoining dwellings. Sub section 3.8.1 of the RD Codes make the following provisions on visual privacy:
“Major openings to active habitable spaces or their equivalent which have a floor level more than 0.5m above natural ground level and positioned so as to overlook any part of any other residential property behind its street setback line, to comply with at least one of the following:
i) are setback in direct line of sight within the cone of vision from the boundary a minimum of:
· 4.5 metres in the case of bedrooms;
· 6.0 metres in the case of habitable rooms other than bedrooms; and
· 7.5 metres in the case of unenclosed outdoor active habitable spaces (balconies, decks, verandahs and the like); or
ii) are provided with permanent vertical screening to restrict view within the cone of vision from any major opening of an active habitable space; or
iii) are provided with permanent horizontal screening or equivalent, preventing direct line of sight within the cone of vision to ground level of the adjoining property if closer than 25m to the opening or equivalent.”
The proposed side setbacks of the subject dwelling are 1.719 and 1.5m respectively. The 1.719m setback relates to a habitable room (meals room) and the 1.5m setback relates to bedrooms, refer Attachment 2. As per the above-mentioned RD Codes provisions, these rooms should have been either setback at 6.0 and 4.5m respectively, or provided with permanent vertical/horizontal screening. Since the proposal does not comply with these RD Codes provisions, the variation to the excessive fill is not supported.
C. Discussions
Given that the City had issued the building licence as per the plans submitted by the applicant, the following matters are noted:
Under subclause 6.1.3 of the DPS2, “except in the case of Marina Zone, the Centre Zone, the Urban Development Zone, the Industrial Development Zone and the Rural Community Zone in respect of land for which no Agreed Structure Plan is in place, the Council’s prior Planning Approval on land zoned by the Scheme is not required if the development consists of:
(b) the erection of a single house which will be the only building on that lot and where a dwelling is a permitted (“P”) use in the zone…….
Notwithstanding that a single house may not otherwise require the prior approval of the Council pursuant to the Scheme, any person who wishes to carry out development of a single house involving the exercise of discretion by the Council ………. shall at the time of lodging an application for a Building Licence or earlier, apply in writing to Council, seeking Council’s approval.”
Following the City’s preliminary assessment of the application, the applicant was requested to seek the City’s approval of the proposed variations. Although the City issued the Building Licence, the applicant should have still sought the approval of the City on the proposed variations. The applicant however failed to do so.
Bruce Havilah & Associates, Barristers and Solicitors, representing the applicant have advised the City that notwithstanding the applicant’s departure from the approved plans in respect of the FFL, he is not in a financial position to re-do the concrete floor slab and that he is open to discussions.
Considering that the RD Codes variation to the front setback provisions relating to the dwelling and the garage are acceptable, the RD Codes variation to the site coverage provision and the variation to the City’s policy in regard to the fill are not supported for the following reasons:
1. Approval of these variations would affect the amenity of the neighbourhood and particularly of the adjoining neighbours; and
2. Approval of these variations would set an undesirable precedent.
Statutory Compliance
The Building Application is being considered under the provisions of the DPS2, the RD Codes and the Building Codes of Australia.
Strategic Implications
The proposal requires satisfying the following Outcome Objective of the City’s Strategic Plan for 2006 –2021:
“2.1 Increase quality of neighbourhood”

Recommendation
That Council:-
1. APPROVES the proposed variation to the Residential Design Codes provisions in regard to the front setback of the dwelling and the garage requested by the applicant, E Osmanovski, in respect of the proposed Single House on Lot 773 (14) Ashville Parade, Landsdale, as depicted on Attachment 1 of this report;
2. DOES NOT APPROVE the proposed variation to the Residential Design Codes provision in respect to the site coverage and the City’s policy on “Establishing Building Pad Levels, Excavation, Fill and Retaining Associated with Residential Development” in respect to the fill requested by the applicant E Osmanovski in respect to the proposed construction of a Single House on Lot 773 (14) Ashville Parade, Landsdale for the following reasons:
a) Approval of the variations would affect the amenity of the neighbourhood and particularly of the adjoining neighbours;
b) Approval of the variations would set an undesirable precedent.
3. REQUIRES the removal of the part of the development already carried out within 60 days and restore the land as nearly as practicable to the condition it was in immediately before development was commenced.

Issue
To consider an application for a Master Antenna TV (MATV) and Broadband Fibre facility in Tapping.

Owner |
Lonnegal Property Pty Ltd |
Location |
Part Lot 12 (2) Yandella Promenade, Tapping |
Area |
100m2 |
DPS 2 Zoning |

Background
The subject land is located within East Wanneroo Cell 1 Agreed Structure Plan (ASP). Attachments 1 and 2 indicate the location of the site in the ASP map and on the subject land. It is noted that this site located in the Kestrels Estate, would be part of a proposed Public Open Space (POS).
(a) An initial development proposal received on 17 January 2006 comprised the following:
(i) Ten (10) metre high mast with one (1) antenna, and two (2) 500mm wide dishes attached;
(ii) Two (2) ground-mounted dishes three (3) metres high; and
(iii) One colourbond metal transportable equipment shelter with the dimensions of 3.5 metres by 4.5 metres, and 2 metres high.
Following a public consultation period in April 2006 and discussion with Council Officers in September 2006, the applicant lodged an amended proposal dated 10 November 2006, comprising the following (refer Attachment 3 for site and elevation plans): -
(a) Two (2) ground-mounted dishes three (3) metres high;
(b) A colourbond metal transportable shelter of the same dimensions;
(c) A television antenna 3.5 metres high located on the top of the transportable shelter; and
(d) A 1.8 metre high colourbond perimeter fence.
In the period between January and October 2007, there was a change of consultant dealing with the proposal.
(b) The amended proposal was re-advertised for 21 days in January 2008. This entailed:
(i) letters to adjoining landowners;
(ii) sign on site; and
(iii) Newspaper advertising.
Detail
The applicant has provided the following information in support of the proposal: -
· The proposed telecommunications compound provides a base for an underground communications network linked to a single underground cable, for free to air television, satellite services, broadband internet, and telephony services for residents within the Kestrels Estate and surrounding locality (Ashton Heights).
· The transportable building will contain equipment for power transmission to the equipment and air-conditioning, and there are no toilets or gas heaters intended onsite.
· Co-location of the proposed facility at an existing telecommunication facilities in the Carramar Estate has been investigated and would be cost prohibitive, based on the required installation of a three (3) kilometre trench and conduit, and that a similar sized compound and infrastructure would still be required in the Kestrels Estate.
· The proposal will prevent the proliferation of television aerials and satellite dishes on individual houses within the Kestrels Estate.
· The location and size of the compound has been selected to minimise any potential visual impacts to the surrounding residential area. The subject land does not directly abut any residential lots, is located between road reserves and a 1.8 metre high colourbond fence will screen the facility. Alternate locations have been investigated but would require the use of a structural mast exceeding ten (10) metres in height.
· The use of the 100m2 portion of public open space will not reduce the overall public open space provision, as there is an overprovision of public open space within East Wanneroo Cell 1.
· The proposed facility will ultimately be created on a separate lot, which currently forms part of Lot 12. The proposed subdivision will not occur until such time that the extension and creation of Yandella Promenade road reserve occurs.
· The proposed location has been carefully chosen to enable a Line-of-Site link to provide broadband backbone to the facility and have minimal visual impact.
· The telecommunications operator (Broadcast Engineering Services) has indicated that there is no hazard for the general public at ground level in relation to electro magnetic emissions (EME). This is due to the facility being for reception purposes for television and broadband Internet services only and not for mobile phone telecommunications purposes.
· The services that are proposed to be provided to the residents of the Kestrels estate include the following –
- Broadband Internet Access
- Distribution of free-to-air, subscription and satellite TV
- Video on demand (VOD)
- VOIP Telephone
- Metering options for utility companies, and
- High bandwidth WAN links with capability for home business application.
Consultation
The proposal was advertised on two occasions. The initial proposal was advertised for 14 days on the 10 April 2006. During the advertising period the City received the following: -
· A petition with 58 signatures objecting to the proposal, and
· Four individual letters objecting to the proposal.
On receipt of an amended plan from the applicant, the City again advertised it for 21 days in January 2008 and the City received two submissions.
Smart Growth Strategy
The City’s Smart Growth Strategy identifies “the creation of distinct and vibrant communities that enhance and develop the identities of our places’ as one of the six principles. This encompasses the provision of services and infrastructure to meet the needs of the community. The proposal is deemed to be supporting this objective in providing new and more efficient technology to the community.
Comment
Response to the Submissions
The main issues raised by the submissions, together with a comment on each is outlined below:
Issue 1. Radiation Risk
There will be radiation risk to the nearby dwellings, schools, day care centres and playground.
Comment
The applicant has advised that EME levels are within Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) limits for radiation risk.
Recommendation
That the issue not be supported.
Issue 2 - Devaluation of Surrounding Properties
The proposal will result in the devaluation of the properties.
Comment
The submittors have not demonstrated how the proposed facility would devalue the properties. It is also not proven, and would require the submittor to engage an independent land valuer for assessment.
Recommendation.
That the issue not be supported.
Issue 3 - Interference with electrical equipment
The proposal may interfere with the electrical equipment.
Comment
The equipment has been designed to limit interference by utilising underground cabling and broadband technology.
Recommendation
That the issue not be supported.
The amended proposal received on 10 November 2006 would reduce the overall impact on the community and therefore it is recommended that Council approves it subject to conditions.
Other Issues
POS area
The proposed location of the facility is within an area designated for POS as per the WAPC approval 128438 dated 17 October 2005, which will ultimately become a Reserve vested in the City for the purpose of Public Recreation (refer Attachment 4). Based on the subdivision approval, Landgate has issued a Deposited Plan No.57859 depicting this POS area excepting a portion to accommodate the subject facility (refer Attachment 5). However, this portion is being shown as part of the parent lot under the possession of the developer. In this regard the applicant has advised that it is intended to create a separate reserve to accommodate the proposed facility. The Department of Planning and Infrastructure officers have supported this approach subject to there being no loss in the overall POS contribution in Cell 1 ASP area. Since the developers have provided an oversupply of POS within their Kestrels Estate, which is more than 100m2, the subject proposal is in order. It is recommended that the applicant be advised to take further action with the Department of Land Information for the creation of a separate reserve with appropriate use and management order being issued to the City with powers to lease.
Under the lease arrangement the applicant will retain ownership and management of the facility. It is noted that Council will consider the lease arrangement separately under another report.
Statutory Compliance
The proposed use is ‘Telecommunications Infrastructure’ in accordance with the use class table of District Planning Scheme Number 2, which is a discretionary use in a Residential zone.
Strategic Implications
Nil
Policy Implications
The principles of locational criteria from the Council’s Mobile Telephone Base Station Policy are applicable in this case, notwithstanding the applicant’s argument that the facility is a ‘line of sight radio link’ to provide broadband services, as opposed to a standard mobile telephone base station.
The deletion of the initial 10-metre tower and fixtures and the inclusion of roof-mounted antenna have reduced the visual impact, and the EME associated with the proposal. A report from consultants ‘Broadband Engineering and Services’ states that the ground level EME levels are within the requirements of ARPANSA standards. The Council’s policy states an applicant must address the following criteria:
(1) Co-location of Antenna Facilities – The proposal is 3 kilometres from a similar facility at Carramar, and is therefore considered necessary to provide the service level required in the Kestrels Estate.
(2) Minimization of Visual Impact – The use of colour-bond metal material and appropriate green colour for the surrounding fence and transportable building in conjunction with additional landscape screening, would result in an acceptable development on this site.
(3) 500 metre buffer – Proximity of the proposal to sensitive land-uses (residential, childcare centres, schools, and similar uses as determined by the Council). In this case, the proposed facility is within a 500-metre buffer to dwellings only, however the Council can exercise discretion based on the facility being for underground cable communications technology with minimal EME output.

Issue
Development Applications determined by Administration between 1 March 2008 and 31 March 2008, acting under Delegated Authority from Council.
Background
Nil
Detail
The City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme 2 (DPS2) provides Council with planning approval powers which are designed to avoid conflict between different land uses on adjoining lots. It is also necessary to ensure the completed developments meet the required standards such as building setbacks, carparking and landscaping. Planning approvals are not generally required for single residential houses unless they seek to vary the requirements of the Residential Design Codes (RD Codes.)
Council has delegated some of its responsibilities for decision making on planning applications to certain officers in Administration which enables the processing of applications within the required 60 day statutory period and within normal customer expectations.
Administration, in assessing planning proposals, attempts to extract from the relevant planning documents the key policies and requirements of Council in order to make comments and recommendations on the issues raised in the assessment of each individual planning application.
Planning applications determined by Administration between 01 March 2008 and 31 March 2008, acting under Delegated Authority from Council are included in Attachment 1.
Consultation

Comment
Nil
Statutory Compliance
A Delegated Authority Register was adopted by Council at its meeting on 29 August 2006 (item GS08-08/06 refers). The decisions referred to in Attachment 1 of this report are in accordance with this register.
Strategic Implications
This report is consistent with the corporate management and development goal of the City’s Strategic Plan, which seeks to establish an organisation that is open, accountable and committed to customer service.
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Planning applications incur administration fees which are generally based on the Town Planning (Local Government Planning Fees) Regulations and have been adopted by Council in its annual budget. The estimated cost of development for each application is listed in Attachment 1. Applications where an estimated cost has not been provided, are either applications for the exercising of discretion or for a change of use.

Issue
Determination of subdivision applications processed in the period for the month of March 2008 under delegated authority.
Detail
The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for determining all subdivision applications within the State. Applications for approval are lodged with the WAPC and are referred to local governments and affected public bodies for comment. Comments are made within 42 days of receiving the application after which the Commission determines the applications. There is a right of appeal by the applicant if aggrieved with the Commission’s decision.
Council has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer its functions relating to the provision of comments to the Commission on subdivision applications. The Chief Executive Officer has in turn delegated to the Planning and Development Directorate this responsibility. A Land Development Unit has been established to assist with the assessment of all applications.
Those applications considered to be either controversial in nature or contrary to Council policy, are referred to Council for consideration. All other applications are dealt with in respect to the following categories.
SCU 1 Subdivision applications received which are generally consistent with an approved or Agreed Structure Plan (including Outline Development Plan and Development Guide Plan).
SCU 2 Subdivision applications previously supported, or not supported by Council and subsequently determined by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) consistent with the Council’s recommendation.
SCU 3 Applications for extension of subdivisional approval issued by the WAPC which were previously supported by Council.
SCU 4 Applications for subdivision or amalgamation which result from conditions of development approval given by or on behalf of Council.
SCU 5 Applications for subdivision or amalgamation of lots which would allow the development of the land for uses permitted in the zone within which that land is situated including applications involving the excision of land for road widening, sump sites, school sites, etc.
SCU 6 Applications for subdivision or amalgamation of lots contrary to Council or WAPC Policy or are not generally consistent with an approved or Agreed Structure Plan.
The following table provides the details of the subdivision applications dealt with under delegated authority in the period for the month of March 2008.

Issue
To consider Tender No 08007 – The Construction of Ocean Reef Road dual carriageway extension from Hartman Drive to Prestige Parade, Wangara.
Background
Council considered a report at a meeting on 5 June 2007 (Item IN09-06/07) and adopted a number of resolutions including the following:
That Council:-
1. ACCEPTS the conditional offer of $7,030,100 from the Australian Government towards the Ocean Reef Road Project (Hartman Drive to Alexander Drive) from the AusLink Strategic Regional Programme.
2. AUTHORISES the Acting Chief Executive Officer to execute the Funding Agreement between the City of Wanneroo and the Department of Transport and Regional Services for submission to the Department prior to 15 June 2007.
3. NOTES that the $7,030,100 will be retained in restricted grants for allocation in the Five Year Roadworks Capital Works Program to enable construction of the Ocean Reef Road project before the June 2010 deadline.
$7,030,100 was received from the Federal Government in June 2007 and $230,100 was allocated in PR-2609 for the design & documentation of the proposed works with the remainder retained in the restricted grants.
The survey and design works commenced in June 2007 and the final design was prepared in March 2008 leading to the invitation of tenders in April 2008. This report considers the tenders and recommendation to accept a tenderer for the construction of the Ocean Reef Road dual carriageway extension from Hartman Drive to Prestige Parade, Wangara.
Detail
The scope of works included in this construction contract is for the construction of a dual carriageway extension in Ocean Reef Road from east of Hartman Drive to Prestige Parade, comprising works at Prestige Parade and Badgerup Road intersections such as earthworks, road pavement construction, kerbs, medians, signage, lane marking, new concrete pathways, drainage works and street lighting works. The scope of works for this contract excludes intersection works at Hartman Drive which will be performed by the City.
Tender No 08007 for the construction of Ocean Reef Road dual carriageway extension from Hartman Drive to Prestige Parade was advertised on 15 March 2008 and closed at the City’s Offices at 3.00pm on 8 April 2008 with the receipt of the following ten submissions:

Two companies submitted their tenders after the stipulated time and have not been considered for evaluation.
Tender Assessment
The Tender Evaluation Panel comprising the Project Manager Major Works, Manager Infrastructure Projects and the Contracts Officer has evaluated tenders based upon the following selection criteria:
1 |
Price for the Works offered |
2 |
Tenderer’s demonstrated experience in carrying out works similar to the required works |
3 |
Tenderer’s resources and capacity |
4 |
Tenderer’s organisational and quality management systems |
5 |
Tenderer’s safety management system |
The scope of works require the construction works to be undertaken under nearby trafficked conditions at Badgerup Road requiring access to be maintained at all times, and staging of the works with LandCorp’s contractor.
Tenderers have provided varying levels of information in their tenders and this has been reflected in the weightings that have been applied to the selection criteria.
Price for the Works offered
All tenderers were also asked to provide a lump sum price for the main scope of works, unit rates for labour, materials and plant hire to accommodate any change in the scope of works during construction and costs for the following additional item as required.
· Dayworks (DW16) relates to the supply and spreading of 75mm thick woodchip mulch in verges and median to make up the shortfall from the cleared material on site.
· Dayworks (DW17) relates to hydromulching of earthworks for dust control.
The price from the tenderers is in ascending order as follows:

$3,385,319.50 |

Riverlea Corporation |
$4,184,064.00 |
Curnow Earthmoving Pty Ltd |
$4,241,484.00 |
Some of these tenderers had based their lump sum price on a number of assumptions and qualified items such as the Badgerup Road closure, supply of water, removal of rubbish from the site and fuel pricing. Clarifications were sought from these tenderers and the ranking assessment for the price took into consideration tenderer clarifications, received as part of the tender evaluation process, to ensure the same requirements for the project were being allowed by all in their tendered price. As a result, tenders have been ranked as below under this criterion:

Following the resolutions adopted by Council (Item IN09-06/07) at a meeting on 5 June 2007, Federal Government’s funding offer was accepted and $7,030,100 was received in the June 2007.
$230,100 was allocated in Project Number PR-2609 in the approved 2007/08 Capital Works Budget to prepare the design and documentation for these works and the remainder of the funding has been retained in the restricted grants to be spent as the project progresses over the next two financial years 2008/09 and 2009/10. In addition, a significant portion of the project (in the order of $10.0M) will be funded through the relevant Town Planning Scheme contributions and nearly $1.3M will be pre-funded by Council in 2009/10 from its own sources for the section of the proposed road adjoining the undeveloped land.
Due to the proposed commencement time of the Stage 1 works towards the end of the financial year, no progress claims are expected from the contractor prior to 30 June 2008. Therefore, there is no need to bring forward any restricted grant in the current financial year. Funds required to complete the Stage 1 works will be listed in Project Number PR-2609 for Council approval in the 2008/09 Capital Works Budget.

Issue
To consider the installation of parking prohibitions in Venture Loop, Wangara.
Background
Commercial business owner/operators in Venture Loop, Wangara, have raised concerns that parked vehicles within the street are blocking access for delivery trucks and semi-trailers to their businesses.
A condition of all developments on Venture Loop is that the developer provides sufficient parking for staff and customers for the intended use of the building.
An “Estate Covenant” between LandCorp and each of the land purchasers also informs developers that street parking is not permitted in “Enterprise Park”.
Detail
Staff and customers of businesses along Venture Loop have been observed parking along both sides of the street, primarily between Innovation Circuit (south) and Success Way, resulting in restricted access to adjacent businesses.
Venture Loop has been constructed with a road pavement width of 10m, providing 5m traffic lanes and allowing heavy haulage vehicles access to the industrial area. Allowing parking on both sides of the road reduces the trafficable lane width between parked vehicles to 5m which is insufficient for 2-way traffic flow by commercial vehicles. This results in traffic congestion and restricted manoeuvrability for commercial and heavy haulage vehicles.
Refer Attachment 1 for a location plan identifying the subject area.
Consultation
A survey of affected owners and occupiers was commenced on 17 January 2008 with the specified date of Monday, 4 February 2008 for final returns. The area surveyed and a copy of the survey form is attached (Attachment 2 refers) and a copy of the proposed parking prohibition plan offered for comment is detailed on Drawing No 2337-2-1 (Attachment 3 refers).
Administration received 11 responses to the survey, out of the 19 sent to owners and occupiers, with three being in favour of the proposed parking prohibitions, three seeking amendments and five opposed.
The response rate of 58% to the community survey is considered above average. The responses however were split 55% / 45%, with six in favour of some form of parking prohibitions and five opposed.
One of the survey replies requesting amendments to the proposal, recommended the application of No Parking to both sides of the road between Innovation Circuit and Success Way. The two other replies requested reversal of the No Parking and 2Hr Parking zones between the east and west sides of the road.
No. |
Survey Comment |
1 |
We have about 5 deliveries a day by 4.5 tonne trucks. We have on 2 occasions rang Council regarding parking as each tenant by Council approval should have enough allocated bays for parking for staff. I recommend a survey be done to establish the businesses not using their allocated bays, as I signed a waiver limiting the number of employees I can have, this waiver was part of my planning requirements. Administration response: Wangara is an industrial estate that has been designed to allow for heavy haulage vehicle access. The road pavements in this area are 10 metres wide. Allowing parking on both sides of the road reduces the remaining traffic lane to 5 metres which is insufficient for 2-way traffic flow. The result is traffic congestion and risk taking by impatient drivers. |
2 |
To do this is not conducive to business – you have offered no alternative. Administration response: It is a requirement of all development applications that sufficient parking be provided onsite to meet the proposed purpose of the development. |
3 |
We employ up to 12 people and as the public transport is poor, they have to use their own transport. Where do you want them to park other than Venture Loop. Administration response: It is a requirement of all development applications that sufficient parking be provided onsite to meet the proposed purpose of the development. |
4 |
Basically opposite to what you have drawn with no parking on the majority of the eastern side of venture Loop and 2hr parking on the majority of the western side of Venture Loop. Administration response: Administration agrees. |
Administration sought comments from the Wanneroo Business Association (WBA) on the proposed parking prohibitions . The WBA views were:
· That Parking should be limited to one side of the road in Venture Loop, given that it is dangerous that trucks of all sizes need a safe passage through Wangara itself.
· Developers & Business Owners alike need to cater for their Employees.
Comment
While those for and against the parking prohibitions are nearly equal and 42% of owner/occupiers did not respond, Administration believes that parking prohibitions are warranted. As an industrial area Wangara has been designed to provide commercial trucking access to the businesses located there. Locating businesses in the precinct that require additional parking to that provided on site should not limit their neighbours’ ability to conduct their business.
The proposed parking prohibitions (refer Attachment 4) have been designed primarily to ensure commercial trucking movement have access to all the businesses on Venture Loop while providing for some short term customer parking within the road reserve.
When selecting the preferred side of the road to allow parking, Administration has endeavoured to provide the maximum turning circle into the largest number of crossovers. The proposed parking prohibitions allow time limited parking on the western side of Venture Loop between Innovation Circuit (North) and Success Way and on the eastern side between Success Way and Innovation Circuit (South). This is in accordance with comments from the WBA.
It should be noted that the continued introduction of time limited parking at a number of locations within the City and the continuing call for enforcement by affected business is adding significantly to the work commitment of the City’s Rangers and Safety Services. Due to these commitments, the proposed parking prohibition provisions for Wangara will be enforced on an infrequent basis and will mainly rely on compliance by business staff and customers themselves.
Statutory Compliance
The installation of parking prohibition signage will allow the enforcement of Part 4 Clause 38 of the City’s Parking and Facilities Local Law 2003(as amended).
Strategic Implications
The proposal to install parking prohibitions on Venture Loop, Wangara, is consistent with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan 2006-2021 outcome objectives:
“Social
2.4 Improve community safety
2.4.1 Implement a range of road safety initiatives to improve the standard of the road network and user behaviour.”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
The provision of parking prohibitions incurs not only the initial cost of materials and installation of the signs but also the ongoing cost of maintenance due to vandalism and graffiti. Current estimates for materials and installation are $100/sign, plus $50 for each additional sign on the same pole, equating to an appropriate cost of $1,650.
This cost is proposed to be funded from Project No PR – 1431, Parking Scheme Signage and Line Marking, Various, for which a total of $50,000 has been approved by Council in the 2007/2008 Capital Works budget.
The enforcement of parking prohibitions over an increasing number of sites also impacts on the manpower needs of Ranger Services resulting in increased staff requirements.

Issue
To consider an amendment to the “Works Schedule” of projects to be undertaken using funding allocated under the Supplementary AusLink Roads to Recovery Program (SAR2RP).
Background
In May 2006, as part of the 2006/07 Federal budget announcements, a one-off grant payment ($720,226) was offered to the City under the SAR2RP. Council at its meeting on 19 September 2006 endorsed a “Works Schedule” listing of the projects to be undertaken as part of this Program. The “Works Schedule” was subsequently amended to fully comply with the Program guidelines (Item Council Item IN12-10/06 refers). Construction works have been undertaken for the projects listed in the “Works Schedule” and savings have been achieved. As per Program guidelines all funds provided are to be fully expended by 30 June 2009. It is therefore necessary to include more project(s) to be undertaken utilising the funding received under SAR2RP. This report considers an amendment to the endorsed “Works Schedule” for the SAR2RP.
Detail
Council considered a report at its meeting on 31 October 2006 (Item IN 12-10/06 refers) and endorsed the following “Works Schedule” for projects to be undertaken as part of SAR2RP:

Funds ($255,000) have been approved in the 2007/08 Capital Works Program for undertaking traffic treatment works in Scenic Drive (PR-1430). A detailed design is currently being finalised and construction works for this project have been scheduled to be undertaken during May and June 2008. As part of the design process, the surface condition of the road surface has been investigated and it has been established that Scenic Drive would require asphalt reseal in the short term. It is estimated that the proposed traffic treatment and asphalt reseal works in Scenic Drive (from Wanneroo Road to Church Street) will cost in the order of $485,000. It is preferable to undertake all works as a single project and therefore, it is proposed to utilise unexpended funds from the SAR2RP for the proposed works in Scenic Drive. A budget variation, as explained later in this report, is required to reflect this change in funding of these projects. After the budget variation, the total available funding for these works will be $465,874. Costs additional to the available funding will be charged to the Roads Resurfacing Program already approved in the 2007/08 budget.
Consultation
Nil
Comment
It is important that the SAR2RP funds are utilised fully prior to the stipulated date.
Since the Scenic Drive traffic treatment works are scheduled for 2007/08, it is appropriate that the asphalt reseal works are undertaken at the same time which would enable savings to be made through economies of scale and provide a finished product.
Statutory Compliance
Nil
Strategic Implications
The provision of infrastructure using SAR2RP funding is consistent with the following strategies from the City of Wanneroo’s Strategic Plan 2006-2021:
“2.4.1 Implement a range of road safety initiatives to improve the standard of the road network and user behaviour
4.3.1 Develop and apply asset management principles to support the maintenance and management of public infrastructure and other assets.”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
The amendment to the “Works Schedule” for the SAR2RP does not impose any additional financial implications on the City. However, a budget variation is required to reflect the amendment in the “Works Schedule”.

Issue
To consider the installation of additional parking bays in Glensanda Way, Mindarie.
Background
A petition requesting Council consider the installation of additional parking bays in Glensanda Way, Mindarie, was received by Council at its meeting of 11 March 2008.
The petition was signed by 13 residents of properties abutting Glensanda Way, 11 from the 7 unit Strata development on the corner of Anchorage Drive and Glensanda Way.
The petition requests Council’s consideration for “Parking bays- Glensanda Way, Mindarie.”
A location map showing the area of interest is shown in Attachment 1.
Detail
Glensanda Way is a local access street conforming to “Liveable Neighbourhoods” town planning design principles with a 15-metre road reserve and a sealed pavement width of 6 metres. The property bounded by Anchorage Drive, Glensanda Way, and Alexandria View contains parking bays with a capacity for 28 vehicles, while Lydney Lane serves the residential lots from the rear.
There are seven parking bays in close proximity to the Strata units at 85 Anchorage Drive. The petitioners are seeking the provision of additional parking bays along the Glensanda Way frontage, between Lydney Lane and Anchorage Drive. An aerial map showing the area development and parking bay layout is shown in Attachment 2.
Consultation
No public consultation was undertaken in the preparation of this report.
Comment
At subdivision, due to the lot density, Council catered for potential visitor parking demand by conditioning the development to provide parking bays that cater for up to 28 vehicles. It is also a condition of individual lot development that developers provide sufficient parking on site to meet the needs of the development.
It is not the responsibility of Council to provide individual visitor parking in residential areas.
Kerbside parking, in accord with the City’s Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law, is also available in Glensanda Way at the subject site and at the opposite kerb. As legal parking is available on the existing road pavement, the construction of parking embayments in Glensanda Way is not supported.
Statutory Compliance
Embayment and kerbside parking is available in Glensanda Way in accord with the City’s Parking and Facilities Local Law 2003 (as amended).
Strategic Implications
The recommendations in this report are consistent with the following City of Wanneroo’s Strategic Plan 2006-2021 goals and objective:

Issue
To consider funding options for the upgrade of Landsdale Road and Rangeview Road.
Background
A notice of motion was considered by Council at its meeting held on 8th April 2008 (Item MN01-04/08) when it was resolved:
“That Council:-
1. REQUESTS Administration to seek funding from existing resources and report tothe next meeting of Council for approval to:
a) complete road works and drainage to kerbing stage, for Rangeview Road,Landsdale between Hepburn Avenue and Landsdale Road sufficient toservice existing homes;
b) make sufficient works to that portion of Range view Road so as to provide safe pedestrian access whether temporary or otherwise.
2. APPROVES all possible steps to expedite the works.
3. EXPECTS that no further land is released for construction of homes where owners are not able to install crossovers due to lack of sufficient infrastructure.
4. INSTRUCTS Administration to take all possible action to recover any unpaiddeveloper costs for Rangeview Road and replace any re-located funding.”
Three separate developers have subdivided land at the junction of Rangeview Road and Landsdale Road. As a condition of their subdivision approval, these developers were each required to fund the upgrade of the sections of Landsdale Road and Rangeview Roads fronting their properties and share the cost of constructing a roundabout at the junction.
Two of the developers have completed all subdivisional works and to allow early release of the subdivided land, have been allowed to pay to the City of Wanneroo the equivalent cost of the roadworks as a bond. The third developer, Timescope Pty Ltd has completed the majority of the subdivisional works, but is unable to fund the scheme contributions and the cost of its share of the road upgrade costs.
A contractor has been engaged by the three developers for the roadworks, but is unwilling to carry them out without a guarantee of funding.
Detail
To obtain clearance of the subdivision and hence allow a title to be created for the lots which will then allow their sale, the scheme costs must be paid and either the roadworks completed or a bond or bank guarantee for the value of the roadworks deposited with the City. The subdivision forms part of East Wanneroo Development Area Cell 5, for which the scheme costs for shared infrastructure are currently $30,909.10 for each lot created.
If the City of Wanneroo was to complete the upgrade of the roads using its own funds and the two bonds from developers already deposited with the City, then, without a legal agreement binding the third developer to refund the money, the City would be unable to recover its expenditure. Under the Town Planning Act, a developer can recover a percentage of the cost of the upgrade of a road from another developer who gains the benefit of that upgrade. This mechanism does not apply however when a road is upgraded by a Council.
A meeting was held with the Developer of lot 138 on 1st April 2008 to investigate a mechanism whereby the City could be guaranteed that if it was to pre fund the expenditure for the roadworks, then it would be reimbursed from the subsequent sale of the subdivided lots.
Ewing VDM, the Consulting Engineers acting for all three Developers, has submitted two alternative mechanisms whereby the developed lots can be released and the roadworks completed.
The first option provides for the gradual release of the developed lots, with funds from the sale of each released lot being used to make the payments to allow the release of the next lot, continuing until sufficient funds have been cleared to allow construction of the roadworks. This option presents the least financial exposure to the City as only the lots created in the initial clearance will require deferral of the scheme costs and the roadworks need not be financed until sufficient funds are available. This could however result in a delay until the roadworks are commenced as funds have to be accumulated from the sale of lots. There will also be a significant increase in the administration required to process multiple clearance requests. A legal agreement would be prepared to ensure that any scheme costs that were deferred by the City would be refunded.
As an alternative, to reduce the delay in completing the roadworks, the City could consider prefunding the developers share of the roadworks costs.
The second option requires the City of Wanneroo to both defer the scheme contributions on a larger number of lots and prefund the developers share of the roadworks. The income received by the Developer would then be used to refund the cost of the roadworks to the City and to make the scheme contributions for all of the development. Again a deed would be prepared to ensure that the City was refunded for the expenditure on the roadworks and that the scheme costs on all lots would be recovered. This option would allow the roadworks to be completed at the earliest opportunity. The deed would be worded such that until all outstanding monies are paid, the City of Wanneroo would not release further lots and a caveat would be placed on the sale of the initial batch of lots to guarantee payment.
Consultation
Nil required
Comment
Of these two options, Option 2 is the preferred option as will allow the roadworks to be started at the earliest opportunity.
The legal agreement would be prepared by the City’s preferred legal advisor, ensuring that the interests of the City of Wanneroo were safeguarded.

Financial Implications
A budget allocation of $250,000, with matching income will be required. The Developer’s Engineers have advised that as 60% of the lots are subject to sales agreements, then it is likely that the City will be refunded this expenditure within 3-6 months, even if the Contractor commences work immediately and requires payment before June 2008.
The cost of the legal agreement will be borne by the Developer. This will include a mechanism for the recoup of interest charges should there be an excessive delay in the City receiving repayment of either monies spent or the deferred scheme costs.

Recommendation
That Council:-
1. AGREES to enter into a legal agreement with Timescope Pty Ltd whereby clearance will be issued for an initial batch of residential lots created on lot 138 Landsdale Road, with the scheme costs under East Wanneroo Development Area Cell 5 deferred and funds for the upgrade of Landsdale Road and Rangeview Road to be guaranteed by the City of Wanneroo until such time that repayment can be made by from the sale of the released lots.
2. AUTHORISES the Mayor and the Chief Executive Officer to affix the Common Seal of the City of Wanneroo and execute the legal agreement between the City and Timescope Pty Ltd.
3. Pursuant to Section 6.8(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 1995 APPROVES BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY the expenditure of $250,500 for the construction of a roundabout at the junction of Landsdale Road and Rangeview Road and the associated upgrade of Landsdale Road and Rangeview Road on either side of the roundabout
4. LISTS the upgrade of Landsdale and Rangeview Roads at an estimated cost of $250,000 in the 2008/2009 Roadworks Capital Works Program with a matching developer contribution to the cost of the upgrade.

Issue
To consider the funding shortfall for the upgrading of the lubrication and dispensing systems in the Fleet Workshop.
Background
A provision of $18,000 was made in the 2007/2008 Capital Works budget to fund the upgrade of the Lubricant and Dispensing Systems to the City’s Fleet Workshop at the Ashby Operations Centre.
Detail
There is requirement to upgrade the City’s Fleet Workshop’s lubricants supply and dispensing systems to reduce the risk of injury to workers and to increase operational efficiency.
The workshop lubricant supply system currently does not cater for the bulk supply of all of the high volume lubricants necessary for fleet maintenance operations. This requires the workshop staff to frequently handle and move drums of lubricant, each of which weighs in excess of 180 kilograms. The City’s Occupational Safety and Health Representatives have issued a Hazard Report Notice specifically requesting immediate improvement to this requirement for workshop staff to manually handle these drums.
The lubricants dispensing station is located within the interior of the Fleet Workshop, which is classified as a high risk of injury work area. This lubricant dispensing station is the only dispensing station at the Ashby Operations Centre. It is used by the City’s plant, vehicle and machinery operators to top up fluids as required, following daily pre-start and post-finish inspections. This results in an undesirably large flow of human traffic within the Workshop.
During the preparation for 2007/2008 budget proposals, the services of a lubrication engineer to estimate costs for these upgrades could not be attained prior to budget submission deadlines. An estimate of $18,000 was included in the budget. Quotations have now been received for the project and the actual cost for the work will be $48,000.
Consultation
Consultation has been undertaken with external Lubrication Engineers, Workshop staff and the Occupational Safety and Health Representative responsible for the Fleet Workshop operations area.
Comment
There is requirement to minimise the need for workshop staff to manually handle drums of lubricant on a frequent basis in order to minimise the risk of personal injury. The Hazard Report raised by the Occupational Safety and Health Representative on this issue also needs to be addressed.
There is also a requirement to reduce the current high flow of non-workshop personnel into the workshop in order to minimise the risk of personal injury.
The early completion of the recommended upgrades to the Lubrication and Dispensing System, at a cost of $48,000, will meet these requirements and will also provide the benefits of improved safety and increased efficiency in Fleet Workshop operations.
Statutory Compliance
Nil.
Strategic Implications
Upgrade to the Fleet Workshop’s Lubricant and Dispensing Systems is consistent with the City of Wanneroo’s Strategic Plan 2006-2021 outcomes and objectives:
“4.3 - Improve asset management
4.6.2.5 - Review and evaluate early injury intervention and injury prevention.”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Funding of $18,000 for Construct Fuel Dispensing Unit – Fleet Workshop System (Project No. PR-1315) is provided in the current budget for this project.
Funding of $30,000 for Upgrade to Plant and Equipment Minor (Project No. PR-1466), is provided in the current budget. This is a provisional amount to enable the early implementation of modification works to satisfy operational and safety concerns. There has been no request to expend any of these funds this year.
Funding of $48,000 is required to complete works to upgrade the Workshop’s Lubricant and Dispensing System and the shortfall amount can be met in full by the transfer of $30,000 from Project No. PR-1466 – Upgrade of Plant and Equipment Minor.

Issue
To consider the outcomes of the Wangara Sump Contaminated Site Assessment.
Background
The Wangara Sump is a large compensating basin in Woodvale (opposite Prindiville Drive, Wangara) receiving untreated stormwater and industrial runoff from the Wangara Industrial Area. The Wangara Industrial Area forms a 98 hectare catchment, of which the majority of surfaces are impermeable with limited on site drainage facilities, which therefore results in untreated stormwater discharging directly into the sump.
Preliminary water and sediment testing in 2005 and 2006 indicated elevated concentrations of heavy metals, hydrocarbons and nutrients. Water samples were collected on a monthly basis in 2005 and bimonthly water and sediment samples were taken during 2006 to establish the baseline data for water quality entering the sump.
The Wangara Sump drains into the Yellagonga Regional Park’s (YRP) wetland system via an over/under flow weir, which allows the removal of some nutrients and heavy metals from the stormwater within the sump prior to it discharging into the wetland system. Sampling of the discharged water has shown nutrient and heavy metal concentrations at the outlet have still exceeded environmental trigger values and therefore the sump is considered to be a major contributor of pollutants entering into the wetland system. It should be noted that the retention volume of the sump is insufficient in relation to the catchment size, causing it to overflow occasionally directly into the YRP in storm events . Furthermore a significant amount of sediment has accumulated within the sump over the past 15 years, further reducing the sumps holding capacity.
In accordance with the Department of Water Ground Water Atlas, the base level of the sump is at ground water level (23m AHD), which indicates the potential for direct contact between the stormwater discharge and the groundwater, which could lead to direct contamination of groundwater. The site is also recognised as having a high risk of shallow Acid Sulphate Soils (ASS) or Potential Sulphate Soils (PASS) by the Western Australian Planning Commission.
It is proposed to carry out maintenance works within the sump in autumn 2008, which will involve the removal of the accumulated sediments to increase the storage volume and hence to mitigate adverse impacts on the YRP wetland system. Due to the recorded pollutants in the stormwater discharging into the sump, prior to starting the works, a sampling programme to determine the pollutant concentrations within the sediments is required. These test results will then be used to determine the measures required to enable the City to identify an appropriate method of disposing of the sediment, prepare a work plan to carry out the works in a safe manner and to obtain any required approvals for the proposed works.
Detail
Quotations for the provision of sampling, analysis and the preparation of a report on the presence of pollutants in sediments and a remediation work plan for the Wangara Sump were requested, with 360 Environmental engaged to undertake the work.
Regulatory Guidelines:
The Contaminated assessment was carried out in accordance with the Department of Environment and Conservation (2001-2006) Contaminated Site Management Series. The Department of Environment’s (2003) Assessment for Soil, Sediment and Water and the Australia and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality (2000) were used to analyze the results of the testing. The Department of Environment (1996) Landfill Waste Classification and Waste Definitions were used in assessing the suitability of the spoil for disposal and to determine its appropriate landfill classification category.
Testing:
25 boreholes were established within the sump for testing sediments and soils beneath it. To sample groundwater, three groundwater bores were installed in early March 2008. Fifty (50) soil samples were taken and tested for heavy metals, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), Monocyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (BTEX), Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Poly-Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). Three (3) Groundwater samples and one surface water sample taken within the sump were additionally tested for physical parameters (e.g. pH, temperature, Dissolved Oxygen) nutrients, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), surfactants, oil and grease. These samples were analyzed by a National Association of Testing Authority (NATA) accredited Analytical Reference Laboratory.
Results and Analysis:
The sample test results were presented to the City in a report, which was received on 2 April 2008. The Report indicated that some of the sediments contained concentrations of pollutants, mainly heavy metals, which exceeded the Department of Environment and Conservation’s Ecological Investigation Level (EIL) guidelines, but complied with the Health Investigation Level (HIL-F) guidelines.
A total of Fifteen (15) samples from the 50 samples of sediment collected showed concentrations of metals exceeding the EIL guidelines for copper, zinc, and lead with a marginal level for chromium.
Hydrocarbon test results for TPH, BTEX (e.g. benzene, toluene) and PAH (e.g. asphalt, oil and grease) complied with EIL guidelines and only two samples exceeded HIL-F guidelines for TPH, while rest complied with the HIL-F guidelines.
All test results for samples taken from the sand underneath the accumulated sediments were below the laboratory detection limits and therefore complied with both EIL and HIL-F guidelines.
The groundwater sample concentrations for heavy metals complied with the Department of Environment and Conservation (2003) guidelines for Fresh and Drinking Water as presented in the DoE (2003) Assessment for Soil, Sediment and Water except for aluminium, chromium and arsenic concentrations, which exceeded the DoE guidelines.
Almost all metal concentration in the surface water sample complied with the guidelines, zinc being the only exception, which exceeded the standard for Fresh water, but not Drinking water guideline levels.
The absence of elevated concentration of copper, lead and zinc in groundwater samples shows that contaminants in the sediments are not impacting the groundwater and its quality, despite the use of site.
The results show that the Hydrocarbon and surfactant (TPH, BTEX and PAH) concentrations within the groundwater and surface water were below laboratory detection limits and therefore in compliance with the guidelines. Low levels of oil and grease were detected in one groundwater bore (located at the southeast corner) and low levels of surfactant were in surface water of the sump.
Nutrients and physical parameters complied with the DoE guidelines, but nutrient levels exceeded Australia and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality (2000) trigger values.
The landfill classification category for disposal of the sediment was assessed in accordance with the Department of Environment (1996) Landfill Waste Classification and Waste Definitions. Nine sediment samples exceeded the Contaminated threshold values, necessitating leachate tests for these samples. The leachate test results indicated that all samples complied with the Concentration Limit values for a Class I landfill, allowing disposal of the spoil to this class of facility. A Class I landfill is the lowest category of site, however the disposal of this material at a Class I landfill will need to be cleared with the landfill operator prior to disposal.
A copy of the report “Wangara Industrial Sump, Wanneroo Contamination Site Assessment April 2008” from 360 Environmental has been placed in the Elected Members Reading Room.
Comment
The overall test results show that the stormwater runoff from Industrial properties has not had an adverse impact on the surrounding environment and that the site can be considered suitable for continued use, provided that the appropriate management of sediments is practised and surface and groundwater monitoring programs are implemented.
It is considered that the remediation of the sump should be carried out in autumn 2008, while the water table is its lowest and prior the winter rains. The spoil has landfill classification category of Class I allowing it to be disposed of at a low level landfill site, subject to the approval of the operator.
The remediation works will include the removal of sediments at the eastern end of the sump to restore the original design levels and to increase the holding capacity of the sump. However, a buffer of sedges (Typha orientalis) is to be retained at the edge of the open water to reduce flow velocities and to provide filtering properties to aid sedimentation (Attachment 1 illustrates the proposed works).
In addition, the over-under weir located at the southeast corner of the sump requires attention, with surrounding vegetation and any accumulated sediment inside of the weir to be removed to improve its functionality.
In the future, infrastructure upgrade works in the upper catchment will be required to improve the quality of the stormwater before it enters into the sump. In addition, upgrade and improvement works are required around the sump to increase the storage capacity. This will allow it to better function as a sedimentation basin and as a part of a Water Sensitive drainage treatment train with appropriate filtration capacity prior to the water entering into the Yellagonga Regional Park wetland system.
Statutory Compliance

Policy Implications
Environmental Protection (Swan Coastal Plain Lakes) Policy 1992
Strategy Implications
Improvement and remediation of Wangara Sump is consistent with the following goals and strategies of the City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan 206-2021
‘Outcome 1: Environmental
Improve conservation of local biodiversity in designated areas
1.1.1 Develop and implement a plan to protect the City’s biodiversity
Minimise the incidence and impact of pollution
1.6.2 Develop a whole of catchment approach to stormwater management
1.6.3 Develop and implement a management plan for contaminated sites’
and of the City of Wanneroo’s Smart Growth Strategy 2005 Principles
‘Principle 3 - Long term Health of the Environment
Smart Growth promotes development that minimises environmental impact, together with practices that conserve and enhance natural areas’
Financial Implications
The Infrastructure Maintenance has estimated that the cost for the proposed excavation and disposal of accumulated sediments is approximately $240,000, based on acceptance of the material at a Class I landfill site. These works can be funded from the Engineering Maintenance Operating account from funds allocated for drainage sump maintenance and savings from contract hire of street sweepers.
The site will need to be inspected again as recent rains may prevent access. If this is the case, then the Stage 1 remedial works will need to be deferred until March 2009.

Issue
To consider the 2007/08 Financial Activity Statements for the period ended 31 March 2008.
Background
Regulation 34(1) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 requires a local government to prepare each month a statement of financial activity, presented according to nature and type, by program, or by business unit. Administration has opted to present the statement of financial activity by nature and type and in a similar format to that presented in the Rate Setting Statement for the 2007/2008 Annual Budget. This format separates operating revenue and expenditure from other revenue and expenditure and provides improved disclosure of Council’s underlying operating result.
The Financial Activity Statement is in the form of an Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The Income Statement compares year to date actual income and expenditure with the year to date budget, shows variances, the adopted budget and the revised budget (if any). The Balance Sheet shows the current status of the City’s assets and liabilities.
In addition to the above, Regulation 34(1) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 requires a local government to adopt a percentage or value, calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, to be used in statements of financial activity for reporting material variances. At its meeting of 31 October 2006, Council adopted 10% for the reporting of variances for financial activities.
Detail
The attached Statement of Financial Activity for the period ended 31 March 2008 represents the nine (9) months results of the financial year.
As an ongoing process, each Service Unit is required to review and monitor its actual and budget financials monthly, and as such Administration has updated year end forecasts accordingly, which is reflected as Revised Budget.
Comments on the financial performance are set out below.

Comments
The following comments are provided on the Income Statement and Balance Sheet for the period ended 31 March 2008: -
Income Statement (Attachment 1 refers)
Operating Result (Operating Revenue – Operating Expenses)
YTD Actual $ 8.525 million
YTD Budget -$ 4.546 million
YTD Variance $13.071 million (+288%)
Full Year Adopted Budget -$26.295 million
Full Year Revised Budget -$21.794 million
The following information is provided on key aspects of the year to date operating result: -
Operating Revenue
YTD Actual $81.286 million
YTD Budget $81.838 million
YTD Variance -$ 0.552 million (-1%)
Full Year Adopted Budget $89.843 million
Full Year Revised Budget $91.978 million
The year to date operating actual revenue was equivalent to 88% of the full year revised budget, which predominantly captured all rates and rubbish collection fee income for the current financial year that was 100% booked as accrued income in the month of August.
The largest component of the operating revenue is Rates, equalling $47.673 million year to date, which forms 59% of the total revenue year to date and 52% of the total revised budget revenues. This year, the City has received more than 75% of rates payments in the first nine months, which provides more than expected funds for investments. On the other hand, full year rates budget has been slightly revised down by $0.213 million to more accurately reflect the expected reduction in penalty charges due to late payments.
Grants and Subsidies – operating exceeded budget by $0.552 million (11%). Full year budget has been revised to $7.122 million, an increase of $0.676 million to reflect the higher than expected General Purpose Grant funding.
With the Contributions, Reimbursements and Donations the City has received this year, we are ahead of budget by $0.222 million (20%). The main reason for this is due to a greater receipt of cash contributions in relation to parks. Expecting other budgeted amounts to be receipted in full by year-end, Administration has further revised the full year budget up by $0.090 million.
Of the Fees and Charges the more material amounts accounted for year to date worth noting are $11.397 million for Rubbish Collection Fees, $1.591 million for Green Fees income, $2.661 million for Application, Licence & Permit Fee income (mainly in Building Assessments and Development Assessments) and $2.484 million for Service Fee Income. Overall, year to date receipt of income in this category is slightly below budget by 7%.
However, Administration anticipates the original budgeted amounts to be achievable, based on the current projection of usages and demands by the community. Accordingly, the revised budget amounts remain relatively the same as the adopted budget.
It is worth noting that the City has been continuing to perform extremely well in its investment activities in the current environment. During the year, the international financial market had been substantially adversely affected by the sub prime mortgage crises initiated from U.S.A. However, the City’s Administration had been able to foresee the risks and had been placing all new funds received during the year to term deposits, which attracted high interest rates with no capital risks. Thus, Administration anticipates meeting its revised figures that were increased up by $2.303 million to $7.640 million to reflect the current interest rate increase cycles.
Operating Expenses
YTD Actual -$ 72.761 million
YTD Budget -$ 86.384 million
YTD Variance $ 13.623 million (16%)
Full Year Adopted Budget -$116.139 million
Full Year Revised Budget -$113.772 million
Employee costs, which represented about 36% of the year to date expenses in actual, were below budget by $1.306 million (5%) and will continue to come into line with budget expectations. The vacant positions throughout the city have provided potential savings year to date however with a new EBA to be agreed to, this favourable variance is likely to be offset by year-end. After accounting for various known and projected factors, it is believed that year-end figures for salary expenses will come close to the adopted budget.
Overall, the year to date operating expenses are below budget by $13.623 million (+16%), mainly due to the timing differences between the actual materials and contracts works and the budget spreads which were loaded on a pro-rata basis. For the purposes of annual budget review, each Service Unit had scrutinized their materials and contracts expenses and an overall reduction of full year expenses, approximately $2.115 million, was anticipated and still stands.
Utilities are continuing to run under budget to the value of $0.486 million (19%) at present, which is primarily due to less than expected expenditures on street lighting. To properly reflect this impact, the full year budget for utilities has been revised down by $0.209 million.
Interest Expenses are expected to come close to the adopted budget for the full year. The main component within this category is interest repayments to Western Australia Treasury Corporation on our loan drawn down.
Insurance costs are currently slightly over year to date budget estimates and are expected to increase by $0.083 million for the full year mainly due to the increase in General Insurance Premium.
Other Revenue and Expenses (excluding contributions of physical assets)
YTD Actual $24.482 million
YTD Budget $23.438 million
YTD Variance $ 1.044 million (+4%)
Full Year Adopted Budget $35.173 million
Full Year Revised Budget $40.461 million
The overall year-to-date impact of the Other Revenue and Expenses is positive to the amount of $1.044 million (4%). Contributions, Reimbursements and Donations – non operating have a year to date positive variance of 57%, primarily resulting from Town Planning Scheme contributions being above our budget estimates.
Full year budget has been revised up by $5.288 million, mainly due to the expected increase in the full year Town Planning Scheme contribution, which is offset by the deferral of income ($4.2 million) from sale of subdivision land in Motivation Drive, Wangara.
With regard to physical assets contributed by developers, to date the City has not had confirmation of the values to be recognised in the accounts for this financial year.

Issue
To consider the sale of a 1.58-hectare site, being proposed Lot 2 (Part Lot 4) Mather Drive, Neerabup, to Western Power.
Background
Lot 4 Flynn Drive, Neerabup (Lot 4) was purchased by the City of Wanneroo in 1976 with a view to its long-term development potential. The City of Wanneroo subsequently undertook a subdivision of approximately 27.5 hectares of the property on the corner of Flynn and Mather Drives. The following land details are relevant for the remaining area:-
Address: 240 Flynn Drive, Neerabup
Area: 203.91 hectares
Title: Vol. 1963 Folio 202
Zoning (DPS2): Industrial Development
A detailed report (CS03-05/05) outlining a proposal for Council to consider the subdivision of Lot 4 and incorporating a Business Plan was presented to the Council meeting held on 17 May 2005. The Business Plan was endorsed and authorisation granted for the advertising of a public notice in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.59 of the Local Government Act.
Following the public submission period, a further report (CS04-08/05) was presented to the Council meeting held on 9 August 2005. After consideration of the public submissions received, the following resolution was adopted:-
“That Council:-
1. NOTES the two public submissions received in response to the public notice advertised in the Western Australian on Saturday 21 May 2005, dealing with the Business Plan - “Proposed Subdivision of Lot 4 Flynn Drive, Neerabup”;
2. APPROVES BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY the staged subdivision of Lot 4 Flynn Drive, Neerabup for the purpose of establishing an industrial development estate in accordance with the approved Business Plan; and
3. NOTES that outcomes from the preliminary planning process will be reported to a subsequent Council meeting for consideration.”
At its meeting held on 31 January 2006, Council considered confidential report CR01-01/06, dealing with a proposal to enter into a joint venture (JV) with LandCorp for the subdivision development of the City’s and LandCorp’s land in Neerabup. A draft Business Plan was included broadly outlining the JV proposal in accordance with the requirements of Part 3 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996.
Following the public submission period, a further report (CS07-05/06) was presented to the Council meeting held on 16 May 2006. There were no public submissions received and the following resolution was adopted:-
“That Council:-
1. NOTES that no public submissions were received in response to the public notice advertised in the Western Australian Newspaper on 4 February 2006, dealing with the Business Plan – “Proposed Joint Venture for the Subdivision of Lot 4 Flynn Drive, Neerabup”;
2. APPROVES BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY the intent to enter into a Joint Venture with LandCorp for the subdivision development of Lot 4 Flynn Drive, Neerabup in accordance with the extended management function option outlined in the approved Business Plan subject to:
a) Agreement being reached on the Project Management Fee;
b) Endorsement of the process for the calculation of the equity split;
c) Preparation of a suitable Joint Venture Agreement between the City and LandCorp; and
d) The inclusion of a requirement in the Joint Venture Agreement that the Joint Management Group report its activities through the Steering Committee to Council on a six monthly basis seeking endorsement of all proposed land development and marketing strategies; and
3. NOTES that a further report will be presented to Council seeking approval to enter into the formal Agreement with LandCorp for the Joint Venture detailed in 2. above, and outlining the relevant amendments to procedures and delegations required to enable the Joint Venture.”
Negotiations are continuing with Landcorp regarding the finalisation of the JV agreement which has been delayed because of uncertainty over the land that the City will have available to contribute due to environmental restrictions on development. In the interim LandCorp is progressing with subdivision activity on Lot 22.
Western Power has advised it wishes to install a substation in the Neerabup Industrial Area to service the development of the estate. An existing site at Lot 40 Mather Drive owned by Western Power is subject to Bush Forever development restrictions and therefore Western Power has requested that the City sell it part of Lot 4 Flynn Drive, Neerabup as a site on which to construct the substation.
Detail
The Western Australian Planning Commission has granted subdivision approval to create two (2) Lots within Lot 4 Flynn Drive (Lots 1 and 2), Neerabup (Attachment 1 refers).
Western Power has been negotiating with the City to purchase the 1.58-hectare Lot 2. A market valuation prepared by CB Richard Ellis dated 1 February 2008 for a serviced lot designated a rate for the land of $237.00 per square metre plus GST with a total land value of $3,744,600 plus GST.
As the valuation received was based on a proportionately large Lot, Administration contended that a higher rate per metre should apply. As the lot size was dictated by Western Power and is larger than what would ordinarily be brought to the market in that area, it was considered that there was an opportunity cost to the City of not being able to develop smaller lots with a higher rate per square metre land value.
Lots for Landcorp’s current Stage 1A industrial land tender at Meridian Park, Neerabup range from a requested fixed tender price of $268.18 per square metre for a 4,177 square metre lot to $281.82 a square metre for a 2,503 square metre lot.
As a compromise Western Power has offered $268.18 per square metre at a total value of $4,237,272.73 for Lot 2, fully serviced.
A certificate of title for the new Lot 2 will not be issued until all services are available, which may not be until 2010. Transfer of the land cannot take place until the title is issued, however, Western Power requires certainty of the site to permit planning for the development. To preserve the value of the transaction, interest will be payable by Western Power from execution of an Agreement for Sale until settlement at the Prescribed Rate in the Joint Form of General Conditions for the Sale of Land (currently 9% per annum calculated daily).
Consultation
See Statutory Compliance section.
Comment
Western Power’s offer for Lot 2 is $31.18 per square metre or $492,672.73 more than the valuation amount and is considered a good financial result for the City, given the location of the lot and stage of subdivision development.
The Mather Drive substation will provide essential electricity supply to the Neerabup Industrial Area and the sale is supported. An Agreement will be prepared to outline the relevant responsibilities of each party in preparing the site and making appropriate payments on settlement.
Statutory Compliance
The actual subdivision development will need to comply with all relevant planning and environmental requirements. In addition, the disposition of land and JV has implications on the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act), including:-
Section 3.57 Tenders for Providing Goods and Services
The City and LandCorp as the Project Manager for the JV will be bound by the requirements of this section of the Act and the applicable regulations outlined in the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 (the Regulations) when dealing with contracts of a value exceeding $100,000.
Section 3.58 of the Act prescribes the process by which local governments may dispose of property. Effectively, land can be sold by:-
a) Public auction to the highest bidder; or
b) Public Tender to the most acceptable Tenderer; or
c) Private Treaty negotiation, providing that prior to formally agreeing to the disposal, details of the proposed sale are the subject of a public notice together with an invitation for submissions. Any submissions must be considered by Council when formally determining whether to proceed with the sale.
Section 30(2)(a)(c)(i) and (ii) of the Regulations provides that land disposed of to the Crown or instrumentalities of the Crown are exempt dispositions. Western Power is an instrumentality of the Crown; therefore Lot 2 can be sold without the requirement for a public notice process.
Section 3.59 of the Act deals with commercial enterprises by local governments and defines the development of land as a Major Land Transaction. The provision prescribes that:-
(2) Before it -
(a) commences a major trading undertaking;
(b) enters into a major land transaction; or
(c) enters into a land transaction that is preparatory to entry into a major land transaction,
a local government is to prepare a business plan.”
Business plans for the subdivision of Lot 4 and JV arrangement with Landcorp have been advertised and considered by Council in accordance with the Act and Regulations.
Strategic Implications
The provision of industrial land in the Neerabup Industrial Estate is in line with the following objectives of the City’s Strategic Plan 2006-2021:-
“3.1 Increase availability of serviced commercial and industrial land
3.2 Improve regional infrastructure”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
The site earthworks will be completed within the existing 2008/09 budget for Lot 4. Subdivision and servicing costs will be budgeted for in 2009/10. Sale proceeds are expected in 2009/10 or 2010/11.
Voting Requirements
Simple Majority
Recommendation
That Council:-
1. APPROVES the sale of Proposed Lot 2 Mather Drive, Neerabup to Western Power for a sum of $4,237,272.73 plus GST with the sale to be concluded within 30 days of the issue of the certificate of title; and
2. AUTHORISES the Chief Executive Officer to sign an Agreement for Sale with Western Power to formalise the arrangement.

Issue
To consider the City’s role in the provision of children’s services in Wanneroo.
Background
The City currently coordinates the provision of Family Day Care (FDC) Services as a stand-alone children’s service in Wanneroo. The industry changes experienced by the service have been an ongoing topic of review and have resulted in several reports to Council in line with funding agreement and contract deliberations. The most recent of these being on 17 July 2007 (report CD01-12/07 refers) where Council resolved in part to:
“2. APPROVE the delivery of the Family Day Care Service for the period of the current funding cycle, concluding 31 October 2008.
3. ENDORSE administration to explore opportunities for amalgamation with other Schemes as a long term opportunity for sustainability, with a further status report to be presented to Council as part of the 2008/09 budget considerations.”
As part of the ongoing assessment of the City’s role in the delivery of children’s services, administration seeks Council consideration of the available options for the City’s future role in not only Family Day Care but the broader children’s services environment.
Detail
The City’s Family Day Care Scheme currently has 318 children (229 families) registered for care and twenty-six (26) independently licensed Carers. (Figures sourced from the December 2007 operating report).
The key issues to consider in this report are:
- Family Day Care
- Children’s Services industry issues
- Future Opportunities for Children’s Services
1. Family Day Care
In 2006, an independent consultant explored the City’s role in the future provision of childcare services (report CD 07-10/06 refers). This was in response to the considerable changes experienced by the industry over the past few years. These key drivers of changes have included:
· Significant changes to the licensing requirements of the Childcare Licensing and Standards Unit for both new applicants and existing Carers
· Accreditation requirements of the Family Day Care Quality Assurance System
· A national trend of decline in the numbers of Carers operating a Family Day Care Service
· Removal of pre-existing boundary restrictions by the Commonwealth Government in July 2006 resulting in more open competition and alternate options for Carers
· Implementation of a change in the funding model in October 2006 by the Commonwealth Government resulted in a significant reduction ($90,489.55) in Commonwealth Network Support.
· Four alternative schemes currently coordinating and recruiting carers registered with their schemes in the Northern suburbs.
2. Environmental Issues
· Changes in the environment of Family Day Care Services delivery as evidenced by the closure of two neighbouring schemes in 2007 and the resulting establishment of larger schemes. This change necessitates economies of scale, which impacts on smaller schemes such as Wanneroo. The lack of success in recruitment of new carers has impacted on Wanneroo’s capacity to grow its scheme.
· Other industry providers are also facing the same significant issues: the Home Based Child Care Alliance between three Northern Suburbs FDC Schemes has been working collaboratively on an executive and operational level to address sustainability issues associated with the ongoing delivery of Family Day Care.
· Due to massive growth in the City, there is a considerable increase in Long Day Care Centres resulting in an over supply of childcare places in Wanneroo.
· Existing gaps in service delivery have been identified in the 8-12 years age group including after-school programs and recreation. Patterns of anti-social of behaviour at this age are often seen to result in considerable problems in adolescence ie 12-18 years.
· Early Years programs are seen as an industry priority and increased funding opportunities are available through local Early Years Action groups
· The need for a School Liaison role has been identified across areas of the City’s administration including Rangers, Environmental Health, Libraries and Heritage.
3. Future Opportunities for Children’s Services
There is a need for a coordinated, consistent and strategic approach to the delivery of sustainable childcare services and facilities for the significant cohort of 0-14 yrs olds in the City’s population
Future population statistics for children in Wanneroo:
2011 Age group |
% total population in Wanneroo |
0-4yrs |
8.3% |
5-9yrs |

% total population in Wanneroo |

The City wishes to maintain its established reputation of delivering quality services to its ratepayers, and in anticipation of future growth in the area, is keen to plan service delivery models that are innovative and flexible to meet the needs of the target group.
If the City decides to discontinue its provision of a Family Day Care Service, the Children’s Services unit has the capacity of broaden its activities into other areas of service delivery that are in line with the City’s broader strategic plan. The current focus of Commonwealth and State Government and the community on the importance of the Early Years and the nutrition and physical activity of children 0-12 years offers other funding opportunities for the children’s services area.
Existing staff resources could transfer into a School Liaison officer role that implements and delivers a more effective coordinated approach of the current school programs across the City’s Health Services, Environmental, Wetlands Program, and Ranger and Safety Services.
The appointment of an Early Years officer would build on the City’s current role working with the existing Early Years (0-8 years) Action Groups and Parent Support agencies to deliver accessible and effective programs. The City’s Parenting Place Project based at Clarkson Library is an example of a partnership from the Early Years funding stream.
Comment
The recent industry changes as reported have resulted in a continued reduction in viability and sustainability for the FDC. The changing environment has seen the continued development of larger schemes with an accompanying suite of complementary children’s services. The FDC services once provided exclusively by the scheme in the City are now a duplication of effort with no measurable advantages over the services on offer from other schemes.
There exists a real opportunity for the City to provide an enhanced and broader model for children’s services that does not duplicate existing levels of service provision and would prove to be of benefit to the whole of the City’s residents.
The main options and ramifications for Council to consider are
Option 1: Continue the provision of Family Day Care within the City of Wanneroo
· Continued operating deficit to Council of $150,000 p.a. with possible increases as an outcome of other proposed industry changes
· The implementation of the new Commonwealth Child Care Management System for processing child care benefits is mandatory by July 2008: There will be a substantial increase in cost of approximately $3,500 one-off costs to meet this requirement by the funding body.
· Difficulty in attracting staff based on short term contracts reliant on service funding in times of low unemployment
· Duplication of provision of services since the abolition of boundaries for FDC Schemes in 2006. Currently there are four Quality Assured Accredited FDC schemes operating in the Northern Suburbs. These larger schemes have complementary family support services offering broader strengths-based approach to supporting children and families, as opposed to the single stream service offered by the City.
· External influences will continue to have a negative impact on the viability of recruiting and expanding the service including the lengthy licensing process, changes to State Child Care, Child Care Benefit compliance, low unemployment
· The impact of an over supply of childcare places in the City of Wanneroo and the national trend of declining numbers of Carers operating a Family Day Care service will be considerable.
· Meeting the accreditation requirements of the Family Day Care Quality Assurance System and significant changes to the Family Day Care licensing requirements for Family Day Care will continue to absorb existing resources and limit any capacity to focus on community development initiatives.
· Ongoing active marketing of the Scheme and FDC as a career business opportunity has proven to be unsuccessful in increasing the numbers of Carers and the level of childcare usage, despite closure of other neighbouring schemes in 2007.
Option 2: Cease Family Day Care operations and not initiate alternate model
· Elimination of funding deficit of $150,000 pa.
· The reporting requirements for closure of the scheme and the re-allocation of resources including the Toy Library will require staff resources in the short term.
· Loss of opportunity to meet broader demand in children’s services
· Staff redundancies would need to be considered
· Missed opportunity to implement broader servicing of the Children’s Services area – contribute to growing gaps in alternate program delivery of complementary children’s programs.
Option 3: Cease the provision of Family Day Care services and introduce new model
· All externally provided income reduces to zero.
· The reporting requirements for closure of the scheme and the re-allocation of resources including the Toy Library will require staff resources.
· Redeployment opportunities for staff from the Children’s Services would be explored.
· A new direction / vision of the City’s Children’s Service Unit role will potentially impact positively not only on the Families who have children between 0 – 12 years (22,940 of the Wanneroo population in 2006) but also their communities. In comparison, the primary focus is in the delivery of one service that is being accessed by 229 families.
· Families would be able to remain with their current Carer and transfer to another scheme with minimal disruption. Administration levy costs to the families may differ. Families may suffer childcare disruptions if Carer ceases and family need to seek alternative care arrangements.
· Existing Carers would be able to join an alternative scheme and transfer administration requirements to their new scheme or operate privately (outside of existing scheme arrangements without childcare benefit support). Increase in costs may result if a Carer decides to operate privately.
· The use of existing staff resources would support the City to implement and deliver a more effective coordinated approach of the current school programs across the City’s Health Services, Environmental, Wetlands Program, and Ranger and Safety Services.
· The current focus of Commonwealth and State Government and the community on the importance on the Early Years and the nutrition and physical activity of children 0 to 12 years, offers other funding opportunities for the Children’s Services area.
· The role of advocating for quality childcare within the City would be retained.

Administration recommends Option 3 for these reasons:
· The new structure will enable the School Liaison Officer role and Early Years Officer role to work cohesively with Community Development staff and relevant officers from other internal business units exploring and promoting innovative programs to meet the needs of the child population within the City of Wanneroo. The initiatives listed above are indicative opportunities that would naturally need to be developed through existing administrative processes and Council approvals.
· The new model will potentially impact positively not only on the families who have children between 0-12 years (22,940 of the Wanneroo population in 2006) but also their communities. In comparison the primary focus of Option 1 is in the delivery of one service that is being accessed by 229 families.
Carers and Families To Be Supported Through Transition Process
If carers and by association, families, decide to transfer to an alternative scheme, provision would be made to support this transition. This is to ensure that the Carers would be well informed regarding the choices they have within the Family Day Care industry.

Strategic Implications
Currently the provision of the City’s Family Day Care service is consistent with the City’s strategic plan in the following Social, Economic and Governance areas as well as developing the City’s role in ensuring the protection of children, promoting their needs, rights and opportunities. Therefore initiating the first steps to become a child friendly city.
“2. SOCIAL: Healthy, safe, vibrant and connected communities
2.3.1 Provide or facilitate access to services and facilities that support inclusive communities
3. ECONOMIC: A prosperous region achieved through economic growth and employment
3.5.1 Promote life – long learning and targeted industry training
3.5.2 Encourage workforce participation and local employment placement
3.5.3 Attract training agencies and programs into the City
3.6.1 Promote business assistance and support networks
3.6.2 Encourage home- based businesses
4. GOVERNANCE: Leadership and community engagement ensure the best use of our physical, financial and human resources.
Establish and actively manage a range of partnerships that add value to our services and support the changing and diverse needs of the community.”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Option 1: If the City was to continue the current funding agreement between the Australian Government’s Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and the City of Wanneroo Family Day Care Scheme, this would result in an ongoing operational deficit of approximately $150,000 p.a. with the real possibility of further operational cost escalations.
Option 2: If the City were to cease its operations in Family Day Care and not embrace the proposed new children’s services model, there would be an operational saving of approximately $150,000 p.a. Non-financial considerations would be the lost opportunities for service improvement to the broader community and continued gaps in the suite of children’s services.
Option 3: An operating budget for a new Children’s Services model consists of $131,167 expenditure including staff and on-costs, and anticipated $20,000 of additional Early Years grant funding. The comparison of the existing model with the proposed new model results in an operational saving of $39,268.

2. CONSIDERS the new model for Children’s Services as proposed in the 2008/09 budget deliberations;
3. INSTRUCTS Administration to ensure that wherever possible a smooth and supported transition of service sponsors is provided to Carers and families.

Issue
To consider management options for the Kingsway Indoor Stadium beyond 30 June 2008.
Background
The Kingsway Indoor Stadium (the Stadium) was developed by the Wanneroo Districts Netball Association (WDNA) with significant financial assistance from the City of Wanneroo and a grant from the Department of Sport & Recreation (DSR). The Commonwealth Bank held security over the lease for the funds extended to WDNA for its contribution. In 1999, it became evident that the WDNA could not meet its facility management obligations and as a result Council approved the surrender of the lease and sought expressions of interest for the leasing of the Stadium.
The lease was subsequently awarded to the Badminton Association of Western Australia (BAWA) for a period of 35 years with expiration due on 9 January 2035. Under the terms of the lease the BAWA were responsible for the payment of all rates and taxes, building maintenance, operating costs, and the payment of rent. However, following a review of BAWA by DSR in November 2005, it was ascertained that responsibility for the management of the Stadium put the Association in an untenable position where total liabilities exceed total assets. This review also identified two proposed scenarios for the future management of the facility:
· Scenario 1 The City of Wanneroo undertakes facility management and provides a lump sum payment and priority facility usage to BAWA.
· Scenario 2 A Private Management Group is appointed by BAWA to undertake day-to-day management of the facility.
Upon consideration of this proposal at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 29 August 2006 (Report CD13-08/06) it was resolved that the Chief Executive Officer would advise BAWA that whilst the City supported the termination of the lease in-principle, the two proposed management scenarios were not supported. Subsequently, Administration negotiated further with BAWA and established mutually acceptable lease termination arrangements including the surrender of the BAWA lease on an ‘as is basis’ thus waiving any future obligations under the provisions of the lease, the provision of office space for BAWA on an ongoing basis, payment of a one-off ex gratia sum to support the re-establishment of the Association, and handover of the Stadium to the City of Wanneroo on 1 January 2007.
The decision to directly manage the Stadium provided the City with the opportunity to provide a community recreation facility accommodating a wide range of sport and leisure activities for local residents. In doing so it was acknowledged that the Stadium would be deficit funded with Administration seeking to ensure the effective management of the funding deficit within approved budget parameters. The termination of the BAWA lease and subsequent management of the Stadium by the City was endorsed, unanimously and by absolute majority, at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 31 October 2006 (Report CD11-10/06). Notably, the resolution included a requirement for Administration to report back to Council advising outcomes of facility operations during the 18 month period between 1 January 2007 and 30 June 2008, and providing recommendations for the future management of the Stadium beyond 30 June 2008.

Interim Workforce Plan
The key focus during this interim period from 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2008 has been to establish the Stadium as a community recreation facility that provides a wide range of community based leisure activities, rather than purely sporting competition orientated activities. In order to facilitate improved service delivery levels Administration implemented an interim staffing structure including the following appointments:
· 1 x Stadium Manager (full time)
· 1 x Programming Officer (full time)
· 2 x Administration Officers (part time)
· 1 x Centre Assistant (part time)
Facility Programming & Services
This staffing structure has enabled the growth of regular facility bookings, attraction of major events, establishment of new programs, and the promotion of the facility. There is a wide variety of regular facility bookings now accommodated at the facility including badminton, table tennis, indoor soccer, netball, inline skating, martial arts, playgroup, religious groups, education groups, physiotherapists and local schools. There are currently 33 separate regular facility hirers and the Stadium has also accommodated a variety of community functions including community group dinners, sporting club functions, and religious group functions.
The Stadium has also attracted a number of successful events including the following:
· WA Floorball (Indoor Hockey) Championships – May 2007
· International Fencing Tournament – June 2007
· WA State Archery Championships – August 2007
· WA Inline Speed Skating Championships – January 2008
· WA Artistic Skating Championships – June 2008
· National Seniors Table Tennis Championships – October 2008
· National Transplant Games – October 2008
· National Artistic Skating Championships – November 2008
A number of new programming initiatives have also been implemented new initiatives including an indoor soccer competition, ladies and mixed netball competitions, group fitness classes, and multisport school holiday program.
Facility Maintenance
Administration has undertaken a significant amount of general maintenance works to improve the overall quality of the Stadium since the handover from BAWA. Specific maintenance items undertaken since 1 January 2007 include the following:
· Re-keying of the facility
· Change of the alarm monitoring service
· Transfer of services contracts
· Office fit-out including IT equipment
· Painting/recarpeting of the function room, activity room and meeting room
· Purchase of new tables and chairs
· General improvement and maintenance of external landscaping
· Bird proofing of the facility
· Repair of roof leaks
· Replacement of main arena lights
· Painting of the foyer
· Installation of anti-termite baits and scheduled replacement of damaged timber on main arena
No significant capital works, other than those necessary to maintain facility integrity, have been undertaken on the basis that the Stadium should be programmed based on existing infrastructure until such time as Council determines the long-term management scenario for the facility.
Strategic Facility Planning
Administration have progressed the development of a number of strategic planning documents including the Kingsway Indoor Stadium Draft Business Plan and Draft Marketing & Communications Plan. The Business Plan includes an analysis of the facility catchment, competitor analysis, facility sales and usage projections, and the identification of key performance indicators. The Draft Marketing & Communications Plan identifies the need to establish a brand for the facility to promote its function as a multipurpose community facility. These strategies are based on the key objectives to engage community participation and raise awareness of the City’s commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles.
Summary
Overall, the focus for Administration since January 2007 has been to put in place the fundamentals required for the effective management of the Stadium into the future. This has included the implementation of a facility maintenance program, the establishment of community orientated programs, and the preparation of strategic business planning documentation. Administration have faced a number of impediments including a lack of historical data for the Stadium, lack of previous facility management practices, the very low profile of the Stadium amongst the community, and the lack of ancillary services such as a crèche to augment program growth. The key focus areas have been as follows:
· Developing positive relationships with existing user groups
· Maintaining a clean and well presented facility
· Developing a sound appreciation for the nature of the business
· Development of core programs and events utilising the existing facility layout
· Responsibly managing the subsidy of the facility within budget parameters
As a result of the interim management period Administration are now well placed to progress the operations of the Stadium to achieve greater facility utilisation, increase the number of programs and program occupancy rates, achieve greater awareness amongst the community, and attain an improved financial bottom line result within the subsidy provided by Council.
Kingsway Indoor Stadium – Management Options
It is considered that there are two viable options for future management of the Stadium:
Option 1 – City of Wanneroo Management
This option involves Council’s commitment to the ongoing management and operations of the Stadium with a key focus on increasing community usage and decreasing the facility budget deficit. It provides the opportunity for Council to achieve community development outcomes through the delivery of a variety of leisure programs and services, and the provision of facility hire for local community groups. This management option will also provide a greater ability to deliver targeted programs and services to the community, in particular those that promote physical activity and socialisation across all age groups. The growth of these programs can be supplemented by the future establishment of crèche and kiosk services to provide users with the complete leisure facility experience, whilst also providing the City with secondary spend opportunities.
Direct management will also enable Administration to continue to attract major events, particularly State and National Championships, that provide supplementary income and promote the City’s tourism and economic development aspirations. In addition, this management option will allow the Stadium to assume responsibility for the management of the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex thus complementing the current infrastructure redevelopments. The delivery of improved management processes for the complex is a vital consideration given the significant capital investment by Council in redeveloping existing infrastructure.
Whilst this management option will have a financial impact on Council in terms of ongoing operational and capital expenditure costs, it will allow programs and services to be tailored to meet community demands. This will result in a focus towards community development outcomes rather than purely the maximisation of revenue generation, and as such, the Stadium would provide programs and services that are less profitable in a financial sense but make a greater contribution to the community good. It should also be noted that the establishment of the Stadium as a multipurpose community facility will negate the need for any Council funded, built community infrastructure on the nearby Darch Community Purpose Site which is located just 800 metres away.
In summary, the identifiable positive and negative aspects of the City of Wanneroo managing the Stadium are as follows:
Positive Aspects |
Negative Aspects |
· Ability to target programs to those socially vulnerable, thus achieving community development outcomes · Promotion of tourism within the City of Wanneroo by attracting State and National Sporting Events · Provision of direct management for the entire Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex from the Stadium · Opportunity for kiosk and crèche services to provide additional facility income sources · Direct management of a modern community sport, recreation and leisure facility · Capitalisation on programming, facility maintenance, staffing, and business planning investment by Administration over the last 18 months · Ability to consider other uses for the Darch Community Purpose Site thus reducing pressure on the capital works program |
· Ongoing financial commitment to supplement the facility operating budget deficit · Requirement to increase Stadium staffing levels to facilitate program development and improved service delivery · Requirement to commit capital works funds to improve facility aesthetics and develop fit for purpose amenities · Limitations on operating the Stadium on a fully commercial basis due to the need to retain broad community access and meet resident expectations |
Option 2 – Private Management Group
This option involves the negotiation of a management contract with a private company to manage the Stadium on the City’s behalf. The structure of such a contract allows the private company to assume the financial risk of operating the facility in return for retaining any operational surplus above the budgeted income payments to Council. Contract management may allow the Stadium to introduce new initiatives to realise efficiencies, move core operations to another party, facilitate innovative service delivery, and provide a partner in any capital development/extension/refurbishment of the Stadium.
Private companies currently manage the following Local Government community facilities within the Perth metropolitan area:
· Aquajetty – YMCA on behalf of the City of Rockingham
· Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre – Belgravia Leisure on behalf of the City of Belmont
· Carramar & Marangaroo Golf Courses – Duncan & Crosbie Golf on behalf of the City of Wanneroo
· Loftus Recreation Centre – Belgravia Leisure on behalf of the Town of Vincent
· Point Walter Golf Course – Belgravia Leisure on behalf of the City of Melville
· Morley Sport & Recreation Centre – YMCA on behalf of the City of Bayswater
This option, due to its commercial nature, will result in a strong focus towards profitability rather than the achievement of community development outcomes. Private companies have the ability to implement a more flexible employment model, have access to a broader range of service providers, and implement alternative maintenance models whish enables costs to be kept lower that Local Government. However, the level of fees and charges levied by private companies is typically higher on average than Local Government, due to the City’s requirement to ensure access by the community and need to take into account ratepayer and resident expectations.
In addition, whilst the contract management of community facilities has been successful throughout many Local Government Authorities, particularly those within the Eastern States, there are also recent examples within the Western Australian context where such management arrangements have proven problematic. In summary, the identifiable positive and negative aspects of a Private Management Group operating the Stadium are as follows:
Positives |
Negatives |
· Ability to shift responsibility for general facility operating costs from Council to a private company · Ability to shift facility operational responsibilities, including staffing, from Administration to a private company · Implementation of innovative service and program delivery beyond the normal standards provided by Local Government · Private company may be a partner in future capital works projects and/or facility improvements, thus reducing pressure on municipal funds · Opportunity to implement a more flexible employment model and gain access to a broader range of service providers · Less inclined to provide non-profit making services, thus increasing income generation and significantly reducing operating deficit |
· Limited to selection of those private management groups that express an interest in managing the Stadium · Reduced capacity to target programs and services, thus limiting the achievement of strong community development outcomes · Surplus operational income above budgeted amounts retained by the management group rather than Council · Level of fees and charges levied by private management groups generally needs to be higher than Local Government to make the operations viable · Capital works requirements to improve facility aesthetics and develop fit for purpose amenities may still require municipal funding · Inability to centralise management of the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex from the Stadium · Possibility of the Stadium proving to be non-financially viable for a private company, thus requiring Council to reassume management at short notice |
Comment
The management of the Stadium from 1 January 2007 to May 2008 has allowed Administration to assess the standard of the facility, programs and services that were previously provided under BAWA’s management. Whilst direct management during this interim period required investment by Council in establishing a staff structure, undertaking necessary maintenance, and improving service delivery standards there have been immediate improvements in terms of increased access for the local community. The interim management period has provided Administration with a greater understanding of the facility and local community demands, and thus led to the development of key strategic planning documents including a Business Plan and Marketing & Communications Plan.
In considering a future facility management option, the fundamental difference between the City of Wanneroo and Private Management Group to consider is in regards to the outcomes being sought. Private management, by nature, will seek to maximise profitability by providing programs and services that focus on the generation of revenue and therefore profit.
Management by the City will also seek to maximise revenue generation, however will typically seek to balance this with the attainment of broader community development principles. Whilst this will require deficit funding by Council it will also allow a measured response to the social needs and demands of ratepayers and residents. In this respect, direct management by the City of Wanneroo will promote the creation of healthy, safe, vibrant and connected communities.
Statutory Compliance
Should Council wish to consider a lease with a private management company then negotiations would need to comply with the requirements of Section 3.58 of the Local Government Act 1995. In this instance, unless the lease resulted from a tender or auction process the public notice provisions of Section 3.58 (3) would apply.
Strategic Implications
Management of the Stadium by Council will support the following Social Outcomes as stated within the Strategic Plan 2006 – 2021:
“2.1 Increase choice and quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options
2.2 Improve the City’s identity and community well-being through arts, culture, leisure and recreation”
Policy Implications
Management of the Stadium by Council will require amendments to the City’s Fees & Charges Policy. Under the current policy, facilities are defined as multipurpose community and recreation buildings supplied by the City and available for hire by the general community. The policy does not apply to the City’s:
· Administration and Civic Centre at 23 Dundebar Rd, Wanneroo.
· Aquamotion Aquatic Centre in Wanneroo.
· Golf courses located at Marangaroo and Carramar.
· Any facility throughout the City currently under a lease agreement as defined by the City of Wanneroo Tenancy Policy.
The policy will require amendment to include the Stadium as a facility where the policy does not apply in order to achieve income aspirations, and reduce the operating deficit.
Financial Implications
In preparation for the possible continuation of management by the City, Administration has prepared a Draft 2008/09 Stadium Operating Budget. Whilst this draft budget is currently being reviewed and amended prior to presentation to Council for consideration, the initial income and expenditure projections are as follows:
General Operating Income 2008/09 |
$386,150 |
General Operating Expenditure 2008/09 |
$620,030 |
Net Operating Deficit 2008/09 |
($233,880) |
It should be noted the facility income projections in 2008/09 have been conservative whilst expenditure projections include initial investments in core requirements such as kiosk fit-out, contract labour for sports umpires, and crèche establishment expenses. The Draft 2008/09 Operating Budget also includes the implementation of the Stadium Workforce Plan to facilitate the introduction of new programs, improve service delivery, and support additional income generation. In summary, the proposed staff structure is as follows:
Proposed New Position |
Employment Status Type |
Net Cost |
Position Rationale |
Program Officer |
1 x Full time |
$63,079 |
Facilitate the development and implementation of new programs and services. |
Kiosk Supervisor |
1 x Part time |
$28,992 |
Initiate kiosk operations to provide secondary spend income opportunities. |
Crèche Supervisor |
1 x Part time |
$15,335 |
Initiate crèche operations to facilitate establishment of new programs and services. |
Crèche Assistant |
1 x Part time |
$13,321 |
Support crèche operations to facilitate establishment of new programs and services. |
Customer Service Officer |
2 x Part time |
$32,858 |
Provide facility front counter customer service during peak programming periods. |
TOTAL |
$153,585 |
|
A number of capital works items have also been included within the City’s Draft Forward Capital Works Program 2008/09 – 2012/13 for consideration. These proposed items include the following:
Proposed New Project |
Proposed Financial Year |
Project Cost |
Conversion of current massage therapy room into a crèche facility. |
2008/09 |
$30,000 |
Installation of court dividing netting to allow separation of main arena |
2008/09 |
$22,000 |
Court resurfacing and line marking upgrades |
2008/09 |
$120,000 |
TOTAL |
$172,000 |
Given the current pressures on the City’s Forward Capital Works Program these capital items can be deferred to subsequent financial years, however the ability to implement new program initiatives and subsequently increase facility income will be impacted. These issues will be addressed through the consideration of the 2008/09 – 2012/13 Forward Capital Works Program.
Stadium maintenance requirements have also been included within the City’s Draft 2008/09 Maintenance Budget for consideration.
In particular, following recent inspections of the main arena flooring remedial works have been included in this budget to repair damage caused by termites. Anti-termite treatments have also been implemented, and will continue to be monitored through the Building Maintenance budget, to ensure the ongoing integrity of the main arena.

File Name: BA Usage of Liddell Park for Silvers Circus.doc This line will not be printed dont delete
StartStrip - This line will not be printed Please do NOT delete
Issue
To consider the use of Liddell Park, Girrawheen for Silvers Circus in June/July 2008.
Background
Administration received an Event Approval Application from Silvers Circus in March 2008 requesting the usage of Liddell Park from either 16 to 29 June or 23 June to 20 July 2008. Whilst the City’s Circuses Policy recognises the importance of circuses as community events for residents, it is also cognisant of growing concern at the use of animals for performance as well as the need for locations for such entertainment to be capable accommodating the large number of expected attendees. Subsequently, the policy supports the provision of circus type entertainment within the City only at locations where in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer, that adequate car parking facilities and public transportation options are available.
Within the City’s Circuses Policy, the Wanneroo Showgrounds is the only venue permitted for circus type entertainment and/or events. Any other location sought by a proponent will be rejected, unless in the view of the Chief Executive Officer, the proposal has merit. Under these circumstances the Chief Executive Officer may forward the proposal to Council for consideration. At the Ordinary Council Meeting on 19 July 2005 (Report CD03-07/05) the use of Liddell Park was endorsed as a venue for Circus Joseph Ashton from 19 September to 9 October 2005 based upon adherence to specific event approval criteria including the provision of temporary car parking, consultation with surrounding residences, and submission of all relevant environmental health applications. On this basis, the Silvers Circus request to utilise Liddell Park requires consideration by Council prior to any approval being granted.
Detail
Silvers Circus is based in Hawksburn, Victoria and since forming in 1975 has been established itself as one of Australia’s premier scale touring circus shows. The big top circus only includes feats that challenge the human body, thus does not include performances with animals, and is currently based at Langley Park in Perth from 2 April to 25 May 2008. The Silvers Circus Event Approval Application submitted to Administration includes relevant information pertaining to development and health, park operations, security, traffic management, and waste services management. It is considered that their initial application is in good order apart from their request to use a venue (namely Liddell Park) not included within the City’s Circuses Policy.
In 2005 when considering the use of Liddell Park for Circus Joseph Ashton, Administration ascertained that this venue was the most appropriate alternative venue for circus type entertainment should the Wanneroo Showgrounds not be available.
As the Wanneroo Showgrounds are once again unavailable due to prior bookings by the Wanneroo Football Club and Wanneroo Swapmeets, the same locational criteria utilised in 2005 are relevant. Liddell Park has a temporary car park available by utilising the adjacent Templeton Park, has sufficient public transport links on Wanneroo and Beach Roads, and has previously been utilised for community events and concerts. In addition, Liddell Park is a highly visible location with roadways on three sides hence reducing impacts on surrounding residents.
Based upon the venue being approved for Silvers Circus the proponent will be required to meet a number of specific event approval criteria, including, but limited to the following:
· Application to Construct, Extend or Alter a Public Building (Health Public Building Regulations 1992)
· Application for Certificate of Approval (Health Public Building Regulations 1992)
· Provision of a Certificate of Electrical Compliance (Health Public Building Regulations 1992)
· Application for a Street Trading Licence (Trading in Public Places Local Law 1999)
· Provision of approximate numbers of patrons to be in attendance during any one day/session and the number of toilets (male, female and disabled) proposed for the event
· Provision of a Acoustic Consultants Report on all installations (eg. generators, amplified music, PA systems) and activities (eg. vehicle movements) providing actual sound level measurements to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act 1986)
· Application for a Building Licence
· Adherence to the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997
· Notification to Local Police and Ranger Services of show times and dates
· Provision of adequate Waste Management Practices
· Payment of applicable Park Hire and Bond charges as per the Adopted 2007/08 Fees & Charges Schedule
· Completion of direct consultation with all residents located within 400 metres of Liddell Park informing them of show times and dates
Comment
The unavailability of the Wanneroo Showgrounds and assessment that Liddell Park is suitable for circus-type entertainment supports the request from Silvers Circus to utilise Liddell Park for their event in June and/or July 2008. Regardless, approval of the Silvers Circus Event Approval Application is subject to the completion of all relevant applications and adherence to relevant regulations as determined by Administration.
It is considered that the location of the circus at Liddell Park will be of benefit to residents whilst strict adherence to the Circuses Policy and Event Approval Process will ensure that any community concerns relating to this event are adequately addressed.
Statutory Compliance
A circus event at any location within the City of Wanneroo will be required to comply with relevant local laws, policies, guidelines and conditions. These include:
· City of Wanneroo Local Laws
· City of Wanneroo Circuses Policy
· Code of Practice for the Conduct of Circuses in Western Australia
· Current Western Australian legislation relevant to the welfare of animals, health and
public buildings
Strategic Implications
The facilitation of circus events at locations within the City of Wanneroo is consistent with the ‘Social Outcomes’ identified within the City’s Strategic Plan 2006 – 2021, as follows:
“2.1 Increase choice and quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options
2.2 Improve the City’s identity and community well-being through arts, culture, leisure and recreation”
Policy Implications
The Circuses Policy does not contain a delegated authority provision for the Chief Executive Officer to nominate approved grounds. The policy provides for a referral to Council for a decision on the usage of venues other than the Wanneroo Showgrounds.
Financial Implications
As per the 2007/08 Fees & Charges Schedule there will be a $2,650 bond payable by Silvers Circus. Normal park hire fees at commercial hire rates will also be applicable, and based on the proposed dates will be between $3,900.00 and $8,200.00.

Issue
To consider this application 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 with 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 application has been made under the Dog Act 1976 and is submitted for consideration.
Address of Applicants |
Description of Dogs |
26 Scenic Drive, Wanneroo |
Female sterilised tri coloured Kelpie cross Female sterilised black and white Kelpie cross Female sterilised gold Labrador Retriever Female sterilised red Staffordshire Bull Terrier |
A Ranger has inspected this property to ensure means exist on the premises at which the dogs will ordinarily be kept for effectively confining within these premises.

Consultation
It has been the practice where applications have been received by the City to keep more than two dogs, that residents immediately adjoining the applicant’s property in question have been consulted by letter to ascertain if they have any objections.
On this occasion the following objection has been received:
26 Scenic Drive, Wanneroo
Number of residents consulted: 4
Number of objections received: 1
Comment
In considering this application for exemption, the following two options are available:
a) Council may grant an exemption pursuant to Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 subject to conditions;
b) Council may refuse permission to keep more than two dogs.
The applicant is seeking permission from the City to keep more than two dogs at her parent’s property at 26 Scenic Drive, Wanneroo whilst her house is being built in Tapping. The applicant is currently renting a property in Tapping, which unfortunately does not allow dogs. It is anticipated that the new house and fencing to contain the dogs on the property will be completed mid June 2008. It is proposed that any exemption, if granted, would lapse upon the completion of the applicant’s residence and the dogs would be moved to their new abode. The monitoring of this condition can be undertaken by the City’s Ranger Services.
The applicant’s additional two dogs are a female sterilised gold Labrador Retriever and a female sterilised red Staffordshire Bull Terrier. A check of the City’s records reveals that prior to this application being made no previous complaints have been lodged with Ranger and Safety Services in relation to the original dogs at the above-mentioned property.
It has been the practice that when an objection is received relating to barking, a letter, information pack and a seven-day diary is sent to the objector. If the seven-day diary is not completed and returned it is assumed that the barking problem is not considered to be a significant problem. In this instance, to date a completed seven-day diary has not been returned. It should also be noted that this application may be varied or revoked should further complaints be received which are considered reasonable. The objecting neighbour will be invited to attend a deputation with the Mayor and Councillors prior to the Council Meeting where they will be given the opportunity to comment on this application.
The inspecting Ranger advises that the property is adequate for the confinement and exercise of the dogs. The boundary fences and gates stand at 1.5 metres high except the rear fence, which stands at 2.0 metres high. Fences and gates are in compliance with regulations.
The dogs are kept in a large rear yard and sleep in the house at night. 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.
Statutory Compliance
This application 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 fire safety issues within the City of Wanneroo and the introduction of a restricted fire seasons throughout the year.
Background
At its meeting held on 23 September 2003, Council resolved to:
“REQUEST Administration to prepare a report to the Policy and Local Law Committee on amending the City of Wanneroo Health Local Law to require that a person shall not set fire to, or cause to be set fire, any rubbish or refuse either in any incinerator or on the ground without the approval of the Chief Executive Officer within the residential area of the City of Wanneroo.”
Administration staff has investigated introducing local laws under both the Health Act and the Local Government Act. However, it was considered more appropriate to utilise the existing provision of the Bush Fires Act 1954.
The proposal is to declare the City of Wanneroo into a restricted fire season all year round except for the prohibited period; 1 December to 31 March the following year.
Detail
A need to address the issue of fire safety and nuisances, to the environment as well as to human health and wellbeing, as a result of open fires burning on properties within the City of Wanneroo has been an ongoing issue. In particular, recent cases of peat bog fires as a result of burning has highlighted the need to bring in legislation that is capable of seeking penalties for those that carry out negligent or inappropriate burning. This has not been possible during open fire season.
It is recommended that an application be made to the Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) to have the City’s restricted fire season amended to adopt restricted fire burning at all times, excluding the prohibited fire season. As such, restricted fire seasons will commence from 1 October to 30 November, then again from 1 April to 30 September, leaving the prohibited season to remain from 1 December to 31 March.
The City provides numerous alternatives to disposing of refuse, garden, and trade waste including disposal facilities at Tamala Park and Badgerup Road. The practice of burning should be discouraged, as there are a number of more suitable and sustainable alternatives. Notwithstanding, it is recognised that at times there may not be other practicable options.
In such cases, the City may issue permits that set conditions to ensure nuisances are not created and that fire safety measures are adhered to. In addition to setting limitations on residential properties, the commercial sector will also be required to adhere to the proposed requirements. This will ensure that factors such as fire safety are managed throughout the year, rather than the current practice of only during restricted and prohibited burning times.
In the interests of environmental sustainability, and in accordance with the City’s commitment to aim for a 20 per cent reduction in community greenhouse emissions by the year 2012, burning practices in general should be discouraged.
Consultation
The City has approached FESA in regard to this proposal and FESA has given its support to the change in restricted burning dates. The City of Wanneroo Volunteer Fire Brigades have also been consulted and are supportive of this proposal.
Comment
Significant incidents, such as the recent peat bog fires, that have occurred in recent times have highlighted the need for Council to bring in legislation that will allow better management of all open fires. Whilst education to the public will be the predominant use, adequate penalty provisions will ensure compliance, which ultimately will benefit the health and environmental wellbeing of the community.
Council’s approval is being sought to proceed with an application to introduce a restricted fire season throughout the whole year.
In accordance with the requirements of the Bush Fires Act 1954, the Chief Executive Officer must make an application to FESA.
Statutory Compliance
Section 18 of the Bush Fires Act 1954 provides for the Minister of Police and Emergency Services to amend restricted and prohibited burning periods. This authority has been delegated to FESA.
Strategic Implications
Consideration of this report is consistent with the goal of providing Healthy and Safe Communities under the City’s Strategic Plan.

Financial Implications
Brochures and fire notices will need to reprinted however this is a seasonal requirement and should not adversely affect the operational budget.

Issue
To consider recent negotiations with the Office of Crime Prevention (OCP) for the development of a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership Agreement based on a regional approach, partnering with the Cities of Stirling and Bayswater.
Background
Council has considered entering into a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership Agreement with the State Government on a number of occasions but as yet have declined to enter into an agreement on the basis of inadequate funding and concerns of cost and responsibility shifting.
The major concern identified by the City was that the agreements rely on local government to support, coordinate and administer the local Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership, and to facilitate the development and implementation of a local Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan. Whilst local government is identified as an equal partner to the arrangements, other key stakeholders will associate the City as being the lead agent responsible for action. This approach has the potential to create an additional impost on the Local Governments by creating greater community expectation in the area of community safety and crime prevention – outside of core local government responsibilities.
In lieu of adopting an individual agreement with the OCP, administration chose to progress discussions with the Cities of Joondalup, Stirling and Bayswater, at an officer level, as each of these local governments have expressed similar concerns. A regional based approach was thought to have merit given that each of these local governments have similar issues and needs.
The officer group aimed to address some of the issues associated with cost shifting, funding and changing scope of Local government responsibilities in the partnership agreement, by developing a specific proposal for an agreement in the Northern Region with the Office of Crime Prevention. The proposed agreement was then discussed at the WALGA North Zone meeting.
A number of draft regional partnership agreements were prepared and subsequently discussed with and rejected by the OCP on the basis that it did not meet the intended criteria that was considered appropriate.
The Regional group has continued to meet on a quarterly basis sharing information and discussing strategies on common concerns relating to crime prevention and local government issues.
Detail
After the initial meeting between OCP and the Regional Officers Group, officers from the four local governments met to discuss a way forward. Officers are still in agreement that the proposed regional partnership model is a preferred approach and offers many benefits to the Cities involved.
Following the discontinuation of negotiations in 2006, in late 2007, the OCP approached each of the regional partners seeking to re-establish negotiations to develop a suitable agreement.
During these subsequent discussions with the City of Stirling, the Director of the OCP advised that they had amended their partnership criteria and would accept a partnership agreement based on a specific issue.
Officers from the City of Stirling identified graffiti vandalism as a major concern in discussions with the OCP representatives, and this was also reflected in the views of the officer group from the Cities of Wanneroo and Bayswater. This problem has a significant effect on the feeling of safety and the perceived fear or crime within the community. A supporting consideration has been the activation of CCTV as a tool against graffiti and anti-social behaviours.
The City of Stirling has progressed a draft graffiti strategy outlining a program to more effectively address graffiti in the community. Many of the initiatives could be developed in a partnership agreement with funding by the Office of Crime Prevention. A copy of the strategy has now been provided to each of the regional local government partners, including the City of Wanneroo and the City has now been asked to consider an involvement in partnership.
The City of Stirling has also informed administration that they would be forwarding separate requests for funds to meet specific costs and needs. If the City were to enter into a regional partnership with OCP, administration would also be able to apply for a broader suite of crime prevention funding options.
A draft Partnership Agreement has been provided by and is attached for consideration (see Attachment 1). This agreement, prepared by the OCP, recognises the regional partners including the Cities of Stirling, Bayswater and Wanneroo. The OCP has also provided an individual agreement for each local government, based on the same conditions contained within the Regional document, should this be more suitable.
There are a number of key principles contained in the agreement summarised below. These include:
· Local Government should not incur additional costs or responsibilities as a consequence of this Agreement;
· The partnership and plan is based solely on graffiti (and associated graffiti reduction strategies);
· The partnership is a regional plan with specific needs included in addendums for each local Government if they choose to participate; and
· Any non Local Government issues identified in the plan will be forwarded to the responsible agency and the Office of Crime Prevention for appropriate action.
A delegation from the City of Bayswater to the City of Stirling have expressed a desire to participate in the regional agreement. Officers from the City of Joondalup have indicated that at this stage it is likely that Joondalup will sign a separate agreement negotiated with the State.
The City of Stirling have considered the proposed agreement and resolved on 1 April 2008:
“That Council ENDORSES the proposal to enter into a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership Agreement with the State Government based solely on graffiti.”
Consultation
Consultation has been conducted throughout the partnership discussions with the Cities of Stirling, Bayswater and Joondalup.
Comment
The City of Wanneroo has been consistent in it’s position on the State and Local Government Crime Prevention and Community Safety Partnership Agreement proposal since the initiative was first rolled out in 2004. During this time the City has taken a watching brief of the process, and continued to work at a regional level with the Regional Officers Group.
The key issues associated with the partnership agreement to date have been associated with cost shifting and inequity in the planning process.
The proposed single issue agreement on a regional basis addresses in part these issues. It offers the opportunity for the City to continue to work strategically with the Cities of Stirling and Bayswater, and attract State funding for graffiti management, whereas in the past the City has been disqualified, as it has not been a signatory to an agreement with the State. Given the concessions that State Government has made in consideration of a Regional Agreement, it is recommended that the City enter into a regional partnership agreement with the OCP. It is also recommended that the City progress discussions to try and secure additional funding in the areas of reducing graffiti and antisocial behaviour and the use of CCTV similar to the discussions the State have held with the City of Stirling.
The opportunity to access funding associated with the Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership associated with graffiti is linked with the outcomes of the Strategic Plan, which specifically identifies graffiti as a priority area for the development and implementation of initiatives to reduce the incidence and impact of graffiti in the community.
In addition to the funding tied specifically to the signing of the agreement as listed in this report, the Office of Crime Prevention is also responsible for the disbursal of a number of grant funds which the City could apply for if it enters into a partnership. Although this funding is not guaranteed, OCP funding rounds have in the past included specific funding rounds for the purchase of equipment relating to the removal of graffiti, and initiatives to improve community safety through urban design. As part of the identification of initiatives to reduce the incidence of graffiti, there may be an opportunity to access funds for CCTV, either for feasibility and design or for the purchase of hardware associated with a project, which may be considered as an urban design or special initiative.
Statutory Compliance
Nil
Strategic Implications
Approximately 109 councils have signed a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership Agreement with the State Government and have either completed or are in the process of developing a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan. The Regional agreement is unique and considered a most innovative approach in graffiti management.
The partnership agreement includes a “Break Clause” and can be terminated by either parties giving written notice to the other party.
This initiative compliments all of the participating Cities existing graffiti management program and in the longer-term aims to kerb costs associated with graffiti in the City.
The agreement is supported by the objectives of the City’s Strategic Plan under Objective 2.4 Improve Community Safety:
“2.4.5 Develop and implement initiatives to reduce the incidence and impact of graffiti in the community.”
Policy Implications
Nil
Financial Implications
Each local Government will receive funding of $10,000 for planning costs on signing a partnership agreement. A further $20,000 will be paid for a priority identified in the plan and $1200 (pa) will be paid for administration costs.
The City of Stirling has also sought consideration for additional funding which would result in a total sum of $78,000 to be paid for program initiatives for year one and $30,000 for year two.
There have been no further funding discussions with the City of Wanneroo which indicate that there will be any further guaranteed financial gain in participating in the agreement. Any of the Cities which participate in the partnership agreements will also qualify for other funding rounds released to local governments by the Office of Crime Prevention as they become available.
The Office of Crime Prevention has advised that the planning costs should not exceed the $10,000 provided. While the agreement does not bind or commit the City to increase expenditure, the planning process may draw out initiatives that are considered to be beneficial to addressing problems associated with graffiti.

Issue
To consider a request from an Elected Member to further investigate the possibility of financially assisting the Challenge Brass Band by way of an annual donation to cover hire costs for the use of Wanneroo Recreation Centre.
Background
The Challenge Brass Band is a Wanneroo based not for profit organisation who regularly play at various events across the metropolitan area. They have previously received funding from the City of Wanneroo Community Funding Program on three occasions. The Challenge Brass Band hire a room at the Wanneroo Recreation Centre for band rehearsals once per week. In February 2006 Council approved a waiver of fees in its entirety. The Challenge Brass Band has also received funding via the City’s Community Funding Program. At Council’s meeting on 11 March 2008, an amendment was endorsed as follows:
“3. APPROVE a waiver of fees in the sum of $1,811.40 for the Challenge Brass Band to hire the Wanneroo Recreation Centre for band rehearsals from 17 January to 23 December 2008.
4. REQUEST Administration to further investigate and report to Council the possibility of the Challenge Brass Band receiving an annual donation equivalent to room hire fees.”
Detail
The Donations, Sponsorships & Waiver of Fees and Charges Policy states that continual waivers of fees are not supported. The initial waiver of fees is available to provide short-term financial assistance to City of Wanneroo organisations and groups to provide them with an opportunity to establish themselves and seek a permanent source of financial assistance to sustain their operations within the City.
Comment
Given that the request does not align with the City’s Donations, Sponsorships & Waiver of Fees and Charges Policy Administration is unable to recommend an annual donation.
However, should Council wish to approve an annual donation, it is recommended that funds be listed in the 2008/2009 budget under the Community Development directorate and that a report be provided to Council on an annual basis to consider a donation for the Challenge Brass Band to use the facility for the year, on the condition of financial statements being provided.

Issue
To consider the repeal of the Standing Orders Local Law 2000 and it’s subsequent amendments and the adoption of new Standing Orders Local Law 2008 as part of the 8 Year Local Law Review process.
Background
The Local Government Act 1995 (the Act), requires that Council must, every eight years after adoption or review of any local law, conduct a review of the local law to ensure that it still retains currency. Further justification to review the Standing Orders Local Law is due to the implementation of new legislation governing the conduct of council members - the Local Government (Rules of Conduct) Regulations 2007 Section 4 which refers:-
“4. Contravention of certain local laws:-
(1) In this regulation -
“local law as to conduct” means a local law relating to conduct of people at council or committee meetings.
(2) The contravention of a local law as to conduct is a minor breach for the purposes of section 5.105 (1) (b) if the Act.”
Council at its Ordinary Council Meeting of 9 October 2007 resolved to undertake a formal review of its Standing Orders Local Law applying to the management and process of council meetings as part of the 8 Year Local Law Review process. After an in depth consultation and submission process, the Council at its Ordinary Council Meeting on 11 March 2008, resolved to proceed with the repeal under Section 3.12 of the Act:-
“That Council:-
1. ADOPT BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY the review of the City of Wanneroo Standing Orders Local Law under Section 3.16 of the Local Government Act 1995 and the repeal and replacement as detailed below:-
2. COMMENCE the process under Section 3.12 of the Local Government Act 1995 to repeal and replace the City of Wanneroo Standing Orders Local Law.”
Detail
There are two distinct processes to follow in undertaking an 8 Year Local Law Review - the first being a review under Section 3.16 of the Act and the second the implementation of the outcome of the review under Section 3.12 of the Act. The City’s solicitors have reviewed the Standing Orders Local Law under Section 3.16 of the Act as a separate process to that of the 8 Year Local Law Review due to its significance to elected members.
The purpose of the Standing Orders Local Law 2008 is to repeal the current Standing Orders Local Law 2000 as a result of the 8 Year Local Law review process as well as to give effect to new legislation in relation to the Local Government (Rules of Conduct) Regulations 2007.
The effect of the adoption of the new Standing Orders Local Law 2008 is to permit better management and implementation of Council’s decision-making process.
Consultation
The City engaged the services of Woodhouse Legal Solicitors & Consultants to workshop the City’s Standing Orders Local Law with elected members at the Council Forum meeting held on 14 August 2007. Information provided to elected members prior to the 14 August 2007 Council Forum meeting highlighted the various issues that needed to be considered and members were requested to provide their comments to Council Administration. The first phase of public advertising as required by the Act was then undertaken in late 2007 with the submission period closing December 2007. No submissions were received.
A further workshop was held recently with elected members on 19 February 2008, where the City’s solicitors provided members with further clarification, specifically in terms of the “Dealing with Proponents” clause included in the Standing Orders Local Law. As a result of this workshop the draft Standing Orders Local Law was modified.
Comment
Changes in the draft Standing Orders Local Law 2008 include:-
a) Inconsistencies with the Act have been resolved by referring to the relevant provisions of the Act and the Regulations in the local law.
b) The language of the new draft Standing Orders is plain English in order to be more representative of current best practice legislative drafting.
c) The current local law unnecessarily repeats the provisions of the Regulations in regard to the revoking of motions and does not detail adequately the procedure for dealing with them or the effect of a revocation on the implementation of earlier council decisions.
d) The inclusion of a “Dealing with Proponents” clause to support recent concerns raised by the Crime and Corruption Commission.
e) The removal of Elected Members Question Time in line with recommendations from the Department of Local Government and Regional Development. The Department recognises that Elected Members are also members of the public, however the Department is of the opinion that members have many other opportunities to obtain information and that question time during Council Meetings is provided for members of the public who do not have these opportunities available to them.
Elected Members may however wish to consider the re-instatement of this clause.
f) Other housekeeping matters.
The procedure for repealing and replacement of the Standing Orders Local Law 2000 under Section 3.12 of the Act, is detailed in the Statutory Compliance Section of this report.
Statutory Compliance
Section 3.16 of the Act requires the Council to carry out a formal review of its Local Laws every 8 years.
Following the review of the Local Laws any amendments will be processed in accordance with Section 3.12 of the Act.
(1) In making a local law a local government is to follow the procedure described in this section, in the sequence in which it is described.
(2) At a council meeting the person presiding is to give notice to the meeting of the purpose and effect of the proposed local law in the prescribed manner.
(3) The local government is to —

* Absolute majority required.
(5) After making the local law, the local government is to publish it in the Gazette and give a copy of it to the Minister and, if another Minister administers the Act under which the local law is proposed to be made, to that other Minister.
(6) After the local law has been published in the Gazette the local government is to give local public notice —
(a) stating the title of the local law;
(b) summarizing the purpose and effect of the local law (specifying the day on which it comes into operation); and

File Name: AA Legal Repsentation and Costs Indemnification Policy.doc This line will not be printed dont delete
StartStrip - This line will not be printed Please do NOT delete
Issue
To consider repealing the “Legal Representation and Costs
Indemnification” Policy adopted on
6 March 2001 in favour of adopting the Department of Local Government and
Regional Development’s Model Policy on Legal Representation for Council Members
and Employees.
Background
In July 2007, the Department of Local Government and Regional Development (the Department) undertook a probity audit of the City’s statutory compliance processes and provided a number of recommendations to improve those processes.
One of the recommendations was a requirement to review the City’s Legal Representation and Indemnification Policy in line with the Department’s Guidelines No. 14, “Legal Representation for Council Members and Employees”.
Detail
The Department’s guideline was developed to provide advice to local governments in making decisions or preparing a policy based on what is considered to be good practice with regard to the delegation of approval to fund financial assistance for legal representation. Because the issue of legal financial assistance can become a sensitive or contentious matter it is recommended that Council not delegate the power to approve the funding, except where a delay may cause detriment to the legal rights of the elected member or employees.
The Department Guidelines reinforce the Local Government Act 1995 in that:-
“Section 9.56 of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act) provides protection from actions of tort for anything a council member or employee has, in good faith, done in the performance or purported performance of a function under the Act or under any other written law. However, the legislation does not preclude people taking action against individual council members or employees if they believe that the council member or employee has not acted in good faith.
Section 3.1 of the Act provides that the general function of a local government is to provide for the good government of persons in its district. Section 6.7(2) provides that money held in the municipal fund may be applied towards the performance of the functions and the exercise of the powers conferred on the local government by the Act or any other written law. Under these provisions a council can expend funds to provide legal representation for council members and employees as long as it believes that the expenditure falls within the scope of the local government’s function.”
Consultation
Consideration has been given to the Department of Local Government and Regional Developments Guidelines No. 14 as required through the Compliance Probity Audit and the recommendations from the City’s internal auditors, Stamfords, on the Annual Compliance Audit Return.
Comment
It is important to note that local governments are often open to criticism by members of the community, which may or may not lead to accusations of misconduct or corruption. Investigations into these matters generally follow and it would be Council’s responsibility to determine whether legal cost should be indemnified to the council member or employee and under what circumstances.
A policy to support the decision making process of the Council in this matter is imperative. The Department has identified that the City’s current policy (Attachment 1) is lacking in some of its directions. To ensure all issues are covered, Administration recommends that the Department’s Model Policy provided in its Guidelines No.14 be adopted in its entirety.
Administration has reviewed a number of policies adopted by other local governments and its own current policy against the Department’s Model Policy and can find no impediment to recommending the adoption of the Model Policy to Council.
The following differences were identified between the Council’s policy and the Department’s guidelines:
· The guidelines state that a delegation to the Chief Executive Officer is warranted in cases where a delay in the approval of an application will be detrimental to the legal rights of the applicant. It also suggests that an application approved under these circumstances is to be submitted to the next ordinary meeting of Council to allow the opportunity to revoke or vary an approval.
· Council’s policy and delegation indicate that the CEO can authorise the provision of legal services in urgent circumstances (if required before an application can be presented to Council) up to the value of $5,000. The Department’s Model Policy suggests that the authorisation be set at $10 000.
· It is important to recognise that Council has to be provided with the opportunity to revoke or vary any approval for payment of legal expenses incurred by a council member or employee. Whilst Council’s policy does indicate that Council will consider the application for legal funding at some point, the policy does not indicate when this will occur. The Department’s Model Policy suggests that this be done at the next Ordinary Council meeting.
· The guidelines define the form of payment that can be made by the local government for legal assistance. In the case of an elected member, the Act does not provide for a direct payment of costs or expenses to a member. There is only provision for direct payment of meeting fees and allowances to members.
Council’s policy does not define or describe the forms of payment that can be made to an elected member or employee. It is suggested that to clarify the matter the two forms of payment are described in Council’s policy.
· The guidelines indicate that the following details should be provided in the written application for payment.
- The matter for which legal representation is sought;
- how the matter relates to the functions of the council member or employee making the application;
- the lawyer (or law firm) who is to be asked to provide the legal representation;
- the nature of legal representation to be sought (such as advice, representation in court, preparation of a document etc);
- an estimation of the legal costs;
- a statement as to why it is in the interests of the City for payment to be made.
This level of detail is not specified in Council’s policy, therefore there is a risk that the information provided might not be sufficient to properly assess the application and make an informed decision on the matter.
Statutory Compliance
Compliance to the Local Government Act 1995.
Strategic Implications
Policies are reviewed and developed regularly to meet the changing needs of our customers and to ensure decisions are undertaken in an open and accountable manner. This policy review is in keeping with the City’s Strategic Plan No. “4, Objective 4.7:-
“4.7 Maintain a high standard of governance and accountability”.
Policy Implications
Repeal the City’s existing Legal Representation and Costs Indemnification Policy and adopt the Department’s Model Policy in line with the Department of Local Government and Regional Developments Guidelines No. 14 to support an effective decision making process.
Financial Implications
Reimbursement of legal expenses is in line with the Council’s approved policy and the annual budget allocation for legal expenses.

Distribution: All Elected Members and All Employees
Implementation: 06 March 2001
Reviewed: 23 September 2003 – CE03-09/03, 20 October 2006
Scheduled Review: October 2007
Objective
To provide a framework for determining whether financial assistance may be provided to officers or members of council in defending legal actions.
Statement
1.0 Introduction
This policy is designed to protect the interests of council members and employees (including past members and former employees) where they become involved in civil legal proceedings because of their official functions. In most situations the local government may assist the individual in meeting reasonable expenses and any liabilities incurred in relation to those proceedings.
In each case it will be necessary to determine whether assistance with legal costs and other liabilities is justified for the good government of the district. This policy applies in that respect.
2.0 General Principles
2.1 The local government may provide financial assistance to members and employees in connection with the performance of their duties provided that the member or employee has acted reasonably and has not acted illegally, dishonestly, against the interests of the local government or otherwise in bad faith.
2.2 The local government may provide such assistance in the following types of legal proceedings:
(a) proceedings brought by members and employees to enable them to carry out their local government functions (eg where a member or employee seeks a restraining order against a person using threatening behaviour);
(b) proceedings brought against members or employees in relation to a decision of Council or an employee which aggrieves another person (eg refusing a development application) or where the conduct of a member or employee in carrying out his or her functions is considered detrimental to the person (eg defending defamation actions); and
ATTACHMENT 1
Page 2 of 3
(c) statutory or other inquiries where representation of members or employees is justified.
2.3 The local government will not support any defamation actions seeking the payment of damages for individual members or employees in regard to comments or criticisms leveled at their conduct in their respective roles, or anything that relates to a matter that is of a personal or private nature. Members or employees are not precluded, however, from taking their own private action. Further, the local government may seek its own advice on any aspect relating to such comments and criticisms of relevance to it.
2.4 The legal services under this policy will usually be provided by the local government's solicitors. Where this is not appropriate for practical reasons or because of a conflict of interest then the service may be provided by other solicitors approved by the local government.
3.0 Applications for Financial Assistance
3.1 Subject to item 3.5, decisions as to financial assistance under this policy are to be made by the Council.
3.2 A member or employee requesting financial support for legal services under this policy is to make an application in writing, where possible in advance, to the Council providing full details of the circumstances of the matter and the legal services required.
3.3 An application to the Council is to be accompanied by an assessment of the request, including an estimation of costs, and with a recommendation which has been prepared by, or on behalf of, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
3.4 A member or employee requesting financial support for legal services, or any other person who might have a financial interest in the matter, should take care to ensure compliance with the financial interest provisions of the Local Government Act 1995.
3.5 Where there is a need for the provision of urgent legal services before an application can be considered by Council, the CEO may give an authorisation to the value of $5000 in accordance with section 5.42 of the Local Government Act 1995.
3.6 Where it is the CEO who is seeking urgent financial support for legal services the Council shall deal with the application.
4.0 Assistance to be Retrospective
Financial assistance will be paid retrospectively at the conclusion of the legal action for which financial assistance was sought except in cases of serious financial hardship as determined by council.
ATTACHMENT 1
Page 3 of 3
5.0 Repayment of Assistance
5.1 Any amount recovered by a member or employee in proceedings, whether for costs or damages, will be off set against any moneys paid or payable by the local government.
5.2 Assistance will be withdrawn where an adverse finding has been determined by a civil court or Inquiry established under the auspices of the WA Parliamentary Ombudsman, the Local Government Act or any other Inquiry established by decision of Parliament. Assistance will also be withdrawn where information from the person is shown to have been false or misleading.
5.3 Where assistance is so withdrawn, the person who obtained financial support is to repay any moneys already provided. The local government may take action to recover any such moneys in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Issue
To consider the Triannual Corporate Performance Report (TCPR) 1 November 2007 - 29 February 2008.
Background
The City purchased the core module of interplan® in August 2005 to provide an integrated corporate planning and performance reporting tool for the organisation. Following the development of the Strategic Plan 2006-2021, a corporate performance reporting framework was developed as follows:
The TCPR is produced as an executive report at the end of each 4-month reporting period and is intended to provide Council with a regular progress report on key strategic activities within the City. The first of these reports was presented to Council in November 2007 for the period July to October 2007, and this is the second for the 2007/08 financial year.
Detail
This second TCPR has been produced for the period 1 November 2007 to 29 February 2008 (refer Attachment 1). A range of projects where major milestones have been achieved are highlighted at the front of the report, followed by a progress report on key strategic initiatives and major capital works projects underway across the City.
A summary of the organisational highlights achieved for this period include:
1. Energy Action Plan
Endorsed and subsequent actions are now being implemented.
2. Wangara Materials Recovery Facility
Operational since January 2008 and is now processing all recyclables form Cities of Wanneroo, Joondalup and Swan.
3. Innovative Playspace in Rotary Park
Under construction and due for completion in July 2008.
4. Demonstration Home to Promote Sustainability in Design
After many months of negotiation, the joint venture with Cedar Woods, to develop and construct a demonstration home to showcase sustainability in residential construction, has been finalised with an official launch scheduled in March 2008.
5. Butler Community Centre and Changerooms
Construction now complete and facility being utilised by the community.
6. Redevelopment of Aquamotion
Works well under way. Council has considered remedial action and funding requests required for completion.
7. Gumblossom Reserve Changerooms
Construction commenced January 2008.
8. Wanneroo Library and Cultural Centre
Construction for the Centre is under way with the foundation in place.
9. Ocean Drive Redevelopment Quinns
Work now in progress
10. Extension to Ocean Reef Road Going Ahead
Clearing permit approved. Project ready for tendering
Comment
The TCPR reveals that a number of corporate and capital projects are behind schedule due mainly to delays in contract development and the tendering process, contract/partnership management issues, environmental issues, staff shortages and the inability to recruit some positions; the latter, a reflection of the current labour market and skills shortages.
Statutory Compliance
The TCPR supports the achievement of the City’s ‘Plan for the Future’ - Strategic Plan 2006 -2021 - as required under the Local Government Act 1995.
Strategic Implications
The TCPR reports against the achievement of the City’s key strategic actions and the progress toward the achievement of the Strategic Plan 2006 -2021.

Issue
To consider the preparation of an Amendment to the District Planning Scheme (DPS) 2 in response to the Prostitution Amendment Bill 2007.
Background
The Prostitution Amendment Bill 2007 gives effect to the Government’s policy commitment to reform prostitution laws. To reflect this change, the Prostitution Act will be renamed the Prostitution Reform Act.
The purpose of the Bill is to provide a framework for addressing the regulation of prostitution in a manner that is conducive to public health, protects sex workers from exploitation and protects children from being involved in or exposed to prostitution.
The Bill has progressed through both Houses of State Parliament and Royal Assent was given on 14/04/08 as Act No. 13 of 2008. Different sections of the Act come into operation on Royal Assent and Proclamation.
Detail
Division 8 of the Act sets out in section 21 the process for planning and development controls to be exercised in relation to sexual service businesses.
Section 21Y of the Bill enables local governments to grant planning approval in relation to sexual service businesses even though their present schemes do not provide for this use. Applications are required to be treated as if the purpose is a use that is not permitted unless Council has exercised its discretion by granting planning approval. In exercising its discretion it must, in addition to other relevant considerations, have regard to whether the development is likely to cause a nuisance to members of the public using the area in which the land is situated and is incompatible with the existing character or use of the area in which the land is situated.
This interim provision ensures that development applications can be approved prior to local planning schemes being amended. Once appropriate amendments have been made to local planning schemes, under the guidance of the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), the provision will cease to have effect.
Comment
It is recommended that the City amend DPS2 to include a specific definition of Adult Entertainment to address applications proposing sexual services for commercial gain. This will allow for easy interpretation of what is considered to constitute an Adult Entertainment facility. The suggested definition would need to be consistent with the proposed amendment to the Prostitution Act 2000.
It is noted that the legislation allows a small owner operated business (two or less sex workers) to operate without specific planning approval where each of those sex workers has full control over their earnings. It is considered, however, that the generation of traffic and social implications associated with this type of business in any zone within the City is not appropriate.
The proposed Adult Entertainment sexual services business would be considered as “X” uses in all zones and therefore not permitted.
Statutory Compliance
The amendment will provide a mechanism in the City’s Town Planning Scheme to address the proposed legislation and give guidance to consider such applications.
Strategic Implications
The proposed amendment will provide guidance in promoting community wellbeing and sense of belonging of the whole community.
Financial Implications
The City will bear the cost of any advertising of the amendment.
Voting Requirements

Recommendation
That Council REQUIRES that Administration prepare for Council consideration a draft Amendment to the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 to:
1. Define Adult Entertainment so as to address applications proposing sexual service businesses for commercial gain.
2. Not permit any Adult Entertainment facilities within any zone within the City of Wanneroo.
Administration Comment:
The previous proposed legislation, which was introduced in 2003 (however was not continued by the State Government in 2005), intended to specify appropriate locations for such facilities as being in:
· Industrial areas;
· Premises not within 300 metres of an education centre, a place of public worship or land used for community use; and
· Not within residential areas
Whilst this is not reflected within the current legislation this is considered a likely approach by the WAPC to the consideration of any Scheme Amendment.
It would seem likely that the WAPC could give consideration to changing Council’s Amendment to at least allow Adult Entertainment in Industrial zones. Council needs to be aware that once the Amendment is initiated the Minister can require it to be completed with any changes that are considered appropriate.
It is anticipated that a draft Amendment would be prepared by Council’s legal advisors and be presented to Council within three months.
