Update on Petitions

PT01-10/08    Request to Relocate Post Office, Wanneroo

Cr Monks presented a petition with 54 signatures requesting the Wanneroo Post Office be relocated within the new Wanneroo Central shopping centre.

 

UPDATE

 

1.      Contact was made with Bart Boys, Retail Asset Manager at Wanneroo Central. He confirmed that Australia Post have been approached a number of times regarding a possible relocation to the Wanneroo Central shopping centre. However their preference is to remain in their current location. 

 

2.      Contact was also made with Greg Baxter at Australia Post (Perth office with responsibility for Wanneroo area).  He confirmed that Australia Post had carefully considered the current strategic location of the Wanneroo Australia Post Shop and took into account the proposed future growth of the area as well as recent investment in key City of Wanneroo projects e.g. Library and Cultural Centre. The location of the Civic Centre was also a key positive factor.  Australia Post then considered the offer of the Wanneroo Central Shopping Centre and having weighed up all factors (including rental levels) a decision was made that the better strategic location for the business was the current one and not to relocate to Wanneroo Central.

 

PT02-10/08    Support for Extension of Neerabup Road from Connolly Drive to Wanneroo Road

Cr Goodenough presented a petition with 71 signatures supporting the extension of Neerabup Road from Connolly Drive to Wanneroo Road and requesting Council to initiate community consultation with key stakeholders and to lobby State and Federal Governments for a funding commitment and timeframe for construction.

 

UPDATE

 

A report is being presented to the Council meeting on 18 November 2008.

 


Item  8                Reports

Declarations of Interest by Elected Members, including the nature and extent of the interest.  Declaration of Interest forms to be completed and handed to the Chief Executive Officer.

Issue

To consider the public submissions and adoption of Amendment No. 12 to the East Wanneroo Cell 1 Agreed Structure Plan (ASP).

 

Applicant

Greg Rowe and Associates

Owner

Freshlink Export Pty Ltd

Location

Lot 19 Clarkson Avenue, Tapping

Site Area

4.04 hectares (ha)

DPS 2 Zoning

Urban Development

ASP Zoning

Residential R20

Background

The City received requests from various applicants including the subject applicant to amend:

 

a)         East Wanneroo Cell 1 ASP to rezone:

 

i)          Lot 9602 Pinjar Road, Ashby from Residential Zone to Centre Zone;

ii)         Lot 25 Ashley Road, Tapping from Centre Zone to Residential Zone; and

iii)        A portion of Lot 19 Clarkson Avenue, Tapping from Residential Zone to Centre Zone and to recode the remaining portion from R20 to R40; and

 

b)         East Wanneroo Cell 2 ASP to rezone Lot 25 Vincent Road, Sinagra from Centre Zone to Residential Zone.

 

Attachment 1 contains a consolidated plan depicting the location of all the sites.

Council at its meeting of 11 March 2008 considered the subject proposals and resolved as follows (Item PD04-03/08):

 

“That Council DEFERS consideration of the adoption of Amendment Nos 11 and 12 to East Wanneroo Cell 1 Agreed Structure Plan and Amendment No.4 to East Wanneroo Cell 2 Agreed Structure Plan until the completion of the City of Wanneroo Centres Strategy Review.”

 

The deferral mainly related to the proposal to rezone Lot 9602 Pinjar Road, Ashby from Residential Zone to Centre Zone to accommodate a shopping centre with a retail floor space of 4600m2 Nett Lettable Area (NLA) and the reasons for deferral were as follows:

 

·                Social and amenity issues associated with the shopping centre;

·                Altering the character of Hollosy Way to being a boulevard due to the likely increase in traffic volume to more than 7000 vehicles per day (vpd); and

·                The increase in the size of the shopping centre in relation to what was originally proposed for East Wanneroo Cell 1 in the current City’s Centres Strategy.

 

It should be noted that rezoning of Lot 25 Ashley Road, Tapping and Lot 19 Vincent Road, Sinagra was subject to rezoning Lot 9602 Pinjar Road, Ashby.

 

Dissatisfied with the determination of Council, the applicant, as per subclause 9.12.1 of the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2), requested reconsideration of the matter.  Council, at its meeting of 8 April 2008, reconsidered the matter and resolved (Item PD06-04/08):

 

“That Council DEFERS consideration of the adoption of Amendment Nos 11 and 12 to East Wanneroo Cell 1 Agreed Structure Plan and Amendment No.4 to East Wanneroo Cell 2 Agreed Structure Plan until the completion of the City of Wanneroo Centres Strategy Review and a review of the retail floor space requirements in the East Wanneroo Cells 1 and 2.”

 

Aggrieved by Council’s decision, the applicant appealed to the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT), and the appeal was upheld. As ordered by SAT, the City has forwarded the following Amendment proposals to the Western Australian Planning Commission for its adoption:

 

a)         Amendment No.11 to East Wanneroo Cell 1 ASP to rezone:

i)          Lot 9602 Pinjar Road, Ashby from Residential Zone to Centre Zone; and

ii)         Lot 25 Ashley Road, Tapping from Centre Zone to Residential Zone; and

 

b)         Amendment No.4 to East Wanneroo Cell 2 ASP to rezone Lot 25 Vincent Road, Sinagra from Centre Zone to Residential Zone.

Since Amendment No.12 to Cell 1 ASP was dependent on the outcome of the other amendment proposals to which SAT had provided its approval, the applicant has requested the City to reconsider this amendment proposal.

Detail

The subject proposal seeks to rezone a portion of Lot 19 Clarkson Avenue, Tapping from Residential Zone to Centre Zone in order to provide a Local Centre (LC) with a retail floor space of 1100m2 NLA and to recode the remaining portion from R20 to R40. Attachment 2 depicts the concept plan demonstrating the amendment proposals.

Consultation

The subject proposal was advertised for public comment for a period of 28 days by means of an on-site sign, an advertisement in the Wanneroo Times newspaper and in the City’s website and writing to the abutting landowners.  The submission period closed on 27 March 2007 and 14 submissions were received.

Smart Growth Strategy

The proposal satisfies the City’s Smart Growth Strategy Principle “Effective Use of Land and Infrastructure” by way of “proposing commercial and residential developments that support community facilities, commercial facilities and public transport systems”.

Comment

Response to the Submissions

The main issues raised by the submissions, together with a comment on each are outlined below:

 

a.       R40 Coding

 

R40 density coding on a portion of Hirundao Bend, Tapping would impact on the aesthetics and landscape of the street.

 

Comment

 

While the western portion of Lot 19 Clarkson Avenue, Tapping is proposed to be rezoned to Centre Zone, the eastern portion is proposed to be recoded from Residential R20 to R40.  Hirundao Bend referred to by the submittor runs into the proposed residential portion of Lot 19.  As per the provisions of the Cell 1 ASP, both sides of Hirundao Bend located outside the subject land have been developed to Residential R20 standards and therefore the submittor has suggested that the lots proposed to front Hirundao Bend be coded R20 to maintain the streetscape. 

 

In order to achieve a better outcome, the applicant has requested that the entire site be rezoned to Centre Zone thus enabling resolution of the issues through a structure planning exercise as required under the provisions of DPS2. This approach is considered to be reasonable and therefore it is recommended that the subject land be rezoned to Centre Zone in its entirety.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

b.      Service Station & Fast Food Outlet

 

Noise and anti-social behaviour associated with the proposed Service Station and Fast Food Outlet would affect the residential area.

 

Comment

 

The concept plan provided by the applicant is only indicative and does not have any statutory status. If the amendment proposal were successful, prior to undertaking the development of the site, the developer will need to prepare and submit a Local Structure Plan (LSP) for the City’s consideration and the LSP will be subject to another round of public consultation.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

c.       Contrary to the City’s Centres Strategy

 

The Centres Strategy opposed the relocation of the Carramar Neighbourhood Centre (NC) near the intersection of Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive. Hence the proposed Shopping Centre at the corner of Wanneroo Road and Clarkson Avenue is contrary to the current Centres Strategy.

 

Comment

 

The Centres Strategy did not support the relocation of the Carramar Neighbourhood Centre at the intersection of Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive on the basis that it would make the location and function more akin to a District Centre and impact on the proposed Banksia Grove District Centre. In this regard, it should be noted that the applicant is not proposing a NC but a LC of 1100m2 NLA at the intersection of Clarkson Avenue and Wanneroo Road, which is situated about 500 metres away from the intersection of Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive.  The proposed shopping centre at Lot 9602 Pinjar Road, Ashby would result in the Tapping North residents being further removed from retail activity and therefore the proposed LC is supported, as it will provide a complementary offer to the community. The residents of the Pine View Park Home Park located at the intersection of Ashley Road and Wanneroo Road were supportive of the LC as it would cater to their needs and would be within walking distance.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

Other Matters

1.       Justification to the LC on Lot 19 Clarkson Avenue, Tapping

 

Since the City’s Centre Strategy does not include a shopping centre at the subject land, the applicant was required to justify the proposal. Shrapnel Urban Planning on behalf of the applicant provided a retail analysis, which supported the proposal and indicated that it would not affect the Carramar NC when developed.


Shrapnel Urban Planning has also advised that there are similar scenarios elsewhere in the Perth Metropolitan Area where shopping centres do not impact on one another.

 

In this regard it is noted that in the absence of a LC at the subject site, the locality of Tapping will be devoid of a shopping centre and would be relying on the proposed NCs at Carramar and Ashby. These two NCs are about 3 kilometres apart and consequently it is likely that some of the residents of Tapping could be inconvenienced.

 

Council at its meeting of 23 September 2008 considered the draft Activity Centres Strategy for the purpose of seeking public comments (Item No.PD01-09/08). While this strategy identifies the proposed Shopping Centre at Lot 9602 Pinjar Road, Ashby, it recommends that any new activity centres can be proposed as part of a structure planning process. Given that the applicant has justified the subject LC, the City Administration is supportive of the proposal.

 

2.       Cell 1 ASP Part 1 Provisions

 

In view of the above proposals, it is recommended that:

 

a)       Schedule 1 of the Statutory Section of the Cell 1 ASP be appropriately modified to include the following:

 

Neighbourhood Centre

Maximum Net Lettable Area (m2)

Lot 19 Clarkson Avenue, Tapping

1100

 

Statutory Compliance

This structure plan amendment has followed the procedures outlined in Part 9 of District Planning Scheme No.2.

Strategic Implications

The amendment proposals are consistent with the following Outcome Objective of the City’s Strategic Plan for 2006 – 2021:

 

“2.1     Increase choice and quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

Nil

Issue

To consider adoption of Lot 3 Romeo Road, Alkimos Local Structure Plan No.60 (LSP).

 

Applicant

Gray & Lewis Land Use Planners

Owner

Northern Corridor Developments Ltd

Location

Lot 3 Romeo Road, Alkimos

Site Area

226 hectares

DPS 2 Zoning

Centre and Urban Development Zones & Primary and Other Regional Roads Reserves

Background

The Acting Director, Planning and Development under delegated authority from Council considered the draft LSP and resolved as follows:

“That the Acting Director, Planning and Development under delegated authority from Council:

 

1.       Pursuant to Clause 9.4.1 of District Planning Scheme No.2 DETERMINES that the proposed draft Lot 3 Romeo Road, Alkimos Local Structure Plan No.60, as submitted by Gray & Lewis Land Use Planners on behalf of Northern Corridor Developments Ltd and as outlined on Attachment 2 to this report is satisfactory for the purpose of advertising subject to:

 

          a)      deleting the density coding of the northern Centre Zone; and

 

          b)      Extending the Centre Zone of the Village Centres as shown on Attachment 6 to this report.

 

          and FORWARDS a copy of the modified structure plan to the Western Australian Planning Commission.

 

2.       ADVERTISES the modified Structure Plan under the provisions of Clause 9.5.1 of District Planning Scheme No.2 for a period of 42 days.

 

3.       ADVISES the proponent that prior to Council’s consideration of the proposed Structure Plan for adoption, it will require the following matters to be satisfactorily addressed:

 

          a)      Preparing and submitting a detailed Geotechnical Assessment report to the satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo;

 

          b)      Reviewing the residential density code allocation in conformity of the City’s Housing Strategy;

 

          c)       Finalisation of the Employment Strategy to the satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo.”

 

As the draft LSP has gone through the public consultation process, the applicant having addressed the above matters has requested the City to adopt the draft LSP and forward it to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for its adoption.

Detail

Site

The structure plan area comprises 226 hectares (ha) of land located to the immediate north of the locality of Butler (refer Attachment 1). The land is generally undulating between 62.0 metres (m) Australian Height Datum (AHD) and 27.0m AHD.

Proposal

Attachment 2 contains the modified LSP maps addressing the matters referred to in the above mentioned Council resolution and Attachment 3 contains the Statutory Section of the draft LSP.

 

The LSP area forms part of the Butler-Jindalee District Structure Plan (BJDSP) adopted by WAPC and the City and therefore the subject LSP reflects the provisions of the BJDSP (refer Attachment 4). The planning of the land to the north of the LSP area was considered in the draft Alkimos Eglinton District Structure Plan (AEDSP) adopted by Council subject to modifications at its meeting of 29 July 2008 (Item PD16-07/08).

 

The key elements of the LSP are as follows:

 

·                Identification of Marmion Avenue and the Northern Suburbs Railway land requirement.  In accordance with the draft AEDSP, Romeo Road has been realigned further north away from the subject land to provide a more direct access to the proposed Alkimos Regional Centre;

 

·                Provision for an estimated 2835 dwellings with a residential density coding ranging between R20 and R60;

 

·                Provision of 10% of the net residential area for public open space (POS), which amounts to 18.13ha;

·                Two Village Centres – one on the eastern side abutting Marmion Avenue and the other on the western side adjacent to the proposed Primary School site.

Consultation

The draft LSP was advertised for public comment for a period of 42 days by means of an on-site sign, an advertisement in the Wanneroo Times newspaper and the City’s website and writing to the abutting landowners.  The submission period closed on 19 August 2008. Twelve submissions were received.

Smart Growth Strategy

The proposals satisfy the following principles of the City’s Smart Growth Strategy 5.1 “Lifestyle and Housing Choice”:

 

“1a      Promoting a range of lot sizes to cater for different lifestyle choices;

1b        Promoting a range of housing types in appropriate locations to meet current and future market demands; and

1c        Providing a variety of quality lifestyle options.”

Comment

Response to the Submissions

The main issues raised by the submissions, together with a comment on each are outlined below:

 

Issue 1             Local Water Management Strategy

 

Preparation of a Local Water Management Strategy (LWMS) in conjunction with the structure plan.

 

Comment

 

The Department of Water (DoW) has requested that a LWMS be prepared in conjunction with the draft LSP consistent with the policy measures outlined in the State Planning Policy 2.9 and the Liveable Neighbourhoods policy.  In this regard it is noted that while requesting the comments of the DoW, the City had forwarded the LSP document along with the appendices including the LWMS. The City re-sent the document and to date, DoW has not provided any comments on the LWMS.

 

The City’s Smart Growth section has examined the LWMS and has advised that it is acceptable.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 


Issue 2             Aboriginal Heritage Survey

 

An Aboriginal Heritage Survey including ethnographic and archaeological investigation is required to be undertaken as early as possible into the planning process.

 

Comment

 

The Department of Indigenous Affairs (DIA) has advised that despite the desktop investigation of the Aboriginal Heritage issues, an Aboriginal Heritage Survey including ethnographic and archaeological investigation early into the planning process needs to be undertaken. The applicant has completed this study. The study has concluded that no evidence of Aboriginal occupation has been identified on the land and no sites were recorded by the recent survey or the previous desktop study. The applicant has provided the following additional advice.

 

·                There are some sites located on abutting Lot 8 to the south of the subject land. The Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee has since determined that these sites are not Aboriginal Sites within the meaning of Section 5 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972; and

 

·                The Aboriginal people consulted, however, did raise a number of issues that can be best considered as environmental concerns. The draft LSP, which includes the retention of landform in particular the prominent dune, the hill and the Tuart Valley on the land, were positively received and supported by the Aboriginal people.

 

In this regard it is noted that although DIA has not provided the City with its comments on the Aboriginal Heritage Survey undertaken by the applicant, at the subdivision stage, the Aboriginal Heritage matters, if any, can be considered.

 

Particular attention will need to be paid to the impact, if any, of the outcome of  the Aboriginal Heritage Survey on the existing public open space.  This is particularly relevant to the high school site and the 11 hectare District Open Space which will attract a high level of use and therefore require the full extent of the land provided to ensure adequate provision of facilities.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

Issue 3             Mitchell Freeway

 

The draft LSP to depict the Mitchell Freeway reservation.

 

Comment

 

The Main Roads of WA (MRWA) has advised that the Land Protection Plans for Mitchell Freeway needs to be reflected in the draft LSP.

 


The affected land of about 5000m2 is a triangular portion located immediately adjoining the eastern boundary of the subject land and forms a part of the land notated as 'subject to further planning' in the draft LSP. The future planning of this area would, therefore, accommodate the details of the Mitchell Freeway land requirement plans.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

Issue 4             Marmion Avenue Reserve

 

MRWA has suggested that Marmion Avenue reserve width should remain 53 metres.

 

Comment

 

The applicant has advised that Marmion Avenue has been constructed to 53-metre reserve width within the structure plan area and the reserve is currently being titled. The Marmion Avenue engineering drawings approved by the City confirm that the reserve width within the subject land is 53 metres. MRWA does not object to incorporating services roads within the Marmion Avenue road reserve provided they are at mid-block locations away from major intersections and are suitably vegetated to provide headlight screening to Marmion Avenue.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

Issue 5             Centre Zone

 

The proposed Centre Zone in the northern portion of the LSP area adjoins the Alkimos Regional Activity Centre. In the absence of a LSP for the Activity Centre, it would be premature to create the subject Centre Zone.

 

Comment

 

In the draft AEDSP, Lot 102 to the north of the subject land is zoned Centre Zone. Since in the AEDSP, Romeo Road has been proposed to be realigned further north of the subject land and within Lot 102, in order to provide an interface between the Residential areas proposed within the subject LSP and the Centre Zone, the applicant has proposed to extend the Centre Zone in a southerly direction up to the proposed east-west Neighbourhood Connector. Under the provisions of the DPS2, a Structure Plan will need to be prepared for the Centre Zone to achieve a better outcome.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

Issue 6             Economic and Employment Strategy

 

Requirement of an Economic and Employment Strategy for the LSP area.

 


Comment

 

The submittor has advised that Council needs to reinforce its position in relation to employment and require the applicant to develop an Economic and Employment Strategy for the LSP area.

 

In this regard the applicant has advised that until the finalisation of the broader land use proposals within the AEDSP and the Service Industrial Zone on the eastern boundary of the LSP area, it would be difficult to finalise the employment strategy for the structure plan area. Furthermore, the applicant noted that rather than each developer having independent separate reports, it is vital that a holistic strategy to employment provision be achieved across the development boundaries. In this regard the City’s Economic Development Section has agreed to the developer preparing a strategy that would integrate at a more regional level, which will need to be completed in next 12 months.

 

Recommendation

 

That the Statutory Section of the LSP be modified to include a provision to the effect that the developer prepares the Economic and Employment Strategy within 12 months of the adoption of the LSP by the WAPC and the City.

 

Issue 7             Location of the Public Open Space Areas

 

The location of the POS areas does not appear to be based on environmental values.

 

Comment

 

The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) has advised that the location of the proposed POS areas does not appear to be based on environmental values.

 

WAPC’s Liveable Neighbourhood (LN) policy recommends Local Parks up to 3000m2, Neighbourhood Parks between 3000 to 5000m2 and District Parks between 2.5 to 7 hectares. Accordingly, the draft LSP makes provision for local parks, linear neighbourhood parks and a District Park of 5.5ha, which would form part of the 11.0 hectare District Open Space proposed in the BJDSP. Thus the draft LSP satisfies the provisions of the LN policy.

 

In order to address DEC’s concerns, the applicant discussed the matter with DEC and in response, DEC has advised the City as follows:

 

·                Supports additional retention of natural bushland in POS areas;

 

·                Consideration be given to increase the size of the proposed conservation areas wherever possible;

 

·                Finalisation of the size and location of the conservation reserves in further planning stages and removal of building envelopes from these reserves;  and

 

·                Drainage measures be designed to minimise the impact on conservation values of these reserves.

 

Notwithstanding the above points, it is critical that retention of natural bushland areas within Public Open Space does not adversely impact on functionality, particularly in relation to the 11 hectare District Open Space.

 

From the above it is noted that DEC proposes to consider the above matters in further planning stages. Hence it is considered appropriate to deal with them at the subdivision stage. DEC has also recommended that the developer prepare Management Plans for the management and protection of conservation areas in liaison with DEC. It is recommended that a suitable provision to this effect be included in the Statutory Section of the LSP.

 

Recommendation

 

That the Statutory Section of the LSP be modified to include a provision to the effect that the developer prepares Management Plans for the management and protection of Conservation Areas in liaison with DEC.

 

Issue 8             Ecological Linkages

 

Ecological linkage to surrounding bushland and fauna habitat.

 

Comment

 

DEC has advised that Alkimos contains significant ecological value and is considered an important ecological linkage to surrounding bushland and fauna habitat. In this regard the applicant has advised that it would be difficult to establish ecological linkages. Given that the land to the south has been now almost entirely developed and taking into account the freeway proposals along the eastern boundary of the subject land and the Alkimos Regional Centre to the north, it will totally isolate the subject land from any regional open space and National Park and therefore it would be difficult to establish the ecological linkages. Considering the proposed and existing development surrounding the site, it is considered that the ecological linkages cannot possibly  be established as requested by DEC. It is further noted that DEC’s most recent advice to the City does not make reference to the establishment of the ecological linkages.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

 

Issue 9             Endangered Species

 

To refer the proposal to the Commonwealth under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999.

 

Comment

 

DEC has suggested that Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo use the structure plan area for breeding and feeding. In this regard it is noted that under the abovementioned Act, a person must not take an action that may have significant impact on any matter of national environmental significance without approval from the Australian Government Environment Ministry.

 

The proponent should therefore be advised that this proposal may require referral to the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

Other Issues

 

The modified LSP addresses the following matters:

 

·                Relocating the day care site from within the Primary School site as required by the Department of Education and Training;

 

·                Providing a road interface between residential lots and the proposed northern suburbs Railway as required by the Public Transport Authority; and

 

·                Extending the Centre zone of the Village Centres. In doing so the applicant has included a larger area than requested by the City to achieve a better design outcome.

 

The following issues were identified requiring additional information prior to considering the draft LSP:

a.       Preparing and submitting a detailed Geotechnical Assessment report to the satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo;

 

b.       Reviewing the residential density code allocation in conformity of the City’s Housing Strategy; and

 

c.       Finalisation of the Employment Strategy to the satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo.

 

While matters relating to (c) have been addressed above in the report, in regard to the other matters the following comments are made.

 

1.         Geotechnical Assessment

 

The applicant has advised that a preliminary investigation did not identify any concerns. Since it may not be possible to undertake a detailed investigation without substantially clearing the land, the applicant has requested that this investigation be undertaken at the subdivision stage. This approach is considered to be appropriate. It is recommended that the Statutory Section of the draft LSP contain a suitable provision.

 

2.         Reviewing the Residential Code

 

The applicant has advised that the proposed residential densities satisfy the City’s Strategic Goals Tool Assessment to achieve a score of 83% or a five star rating.

 

Additional Comments

 

The applicant has proposed two narrow triangular shaped POS areas of extent 3558 and 3945m2 each abutting Marmion Avenue on the eastern side.


Since the shape of these POS areas is not likely to result in useful POS areas, it is recommended that the applicant be requested to modify the draft LSP to either relocate or reconfigure these POS areas.

 

The draft LSP also depicts another narrow triangular POS area to the west of Marmion Avenue with road frontages on all sides. The northern end of this POS is located at a five-way intersection. Since this intersection is not desirable for proper traffic circulation, it is recommended that the applicant be requested to modify the LSP to delete the five-way intersection and to either relocate or reconfigure the POS area.

Statutory Compliance

This Structure Plan application has been processed in accordance with the requirements of DPS2.

Strategic Implications

The proposal accords with the following Outcome Objective of the City’s Strategic Plan 2006 – 2021:

 

“2.1       Increase choice and quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options;

 2.5         Improve transport options and connections.”

Issue

To consider proposed Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) Amendment 1152/41 which proposes to rationalise the foreshore reserve boundary for Lot 10 Marmion Avenue, Jindalee.

Background

At its meeting of 17 July 2007 (Item LR01-07/07), Council considered the proposed ‘Jindee Innovation Agreement’ which was sought by the owner of Lot 10, Jindalee (Westminster Estates Pty Ltd, which is owned by Estates Development Co.) to provide it with a greater degree of certainty concerning the commencement of a land rationalisation process required to facilitate the plan it had prepared for that area.

 

It was resolved that Council:

 

1.     ENDORSES the Jindee Innovation Project Agreement between Westminster Estates Pty Ltd, the Western Australian Planning Commission and the City of Wanneroo as prepared by Freehills in respect to Lot 10 Marmion Avenue, Jindalee and the adjoining foreshore reserve.

 

2.       AUTHORISES the signing of and the affixation of the City’s common seal to the agreement documents.

 

3.       AGREES to withdraw the Caveat from the title of Lot 10 Marmion Avenue, Jindalee, which was lodged pursuant to the deed dated 2 September 1992 between the landowner and the City, upon execution of the Jindee Innovation Project Agreement.

 

4.       NOTES that the project agreement will not fetter its decision making in respect to the required Metropolitan Region Scheme and District Planning Scheme amendments and future structure planning applications and that these applications will be subject to wide spread consultation.”

 

At its meeting of 11 December 2007 (Item PD11-12/07), Council considered the initiation of an MRS Amendment to rationalise the boundary between the Parks and Recreation Reserve and Urban Zone in that area, to accord with the plans prepared by the owner.

 

It was resolved that Council:

 

“1.    ADVISES the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) that it SUPPORTS the proposed Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment for Lot 10 Marmion Avenue, Jindalee to modify portion of the abutting Parks and Recreation Reservation and transfer it to the Urban Zone and reserving the nominated portions of Lot 10 for Parks and Recreation purposes.

 

2.       REQUESTS the WAPC to transfer the future Urban zoned land to Urban Development Zone in the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2, under the provisions of section 126 (3) of the Planning and Development Act 2005, concurrently with the amendment of the MRS.

 

3.       REQUESTS the North West District Planning Committee to support the proposed MRS Amendment for Lot 10 Marmion Avenue, Jindalee by modifying portion of the abutting Parks and Recreation Reservation and transferring it to the Urban Zone and reserving the nominated portions of Lot 10 for Parks and Recreation purposes.”

Detail

The proposed MRS Amendment involves the rezoning of 6.7 hectares of Parks and Recreation Reserve (being part of Lot 3054 which is owned by the Western Australian Planning Commission) to Urban Zone and 6.1 hectares of Lot 10 from Urban Zone to Parks and Recreation Zone.  The locations of the subject lands is shown on Attachment 1.

Consultation

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is advertising the proposed MRS Amendment for public submissions, the submission period concluding on 28 November 2008.

 

Estates Development Co. will be holding a public information session on the proposal on 12 November 2008 at the City of Wanneroo Civic Centre.

Comment

Draft Jindee Structure Plan

 

The MRS Amendment document includes a draft Jindee Structure Plan (refer Attachment 2).  However, it points out that this is for information purposes only and is not the subject of this amendment.  A proposed Structure Plan for this land will be subject to separate approval and consultation processes in due course.

 

Foreshore Setbacks, Land Exchanges and Land for Regional Beach Parking

 

The MRS Amendment document refers to the Jindee Innovation Agreement anticipating an “exchange of two equal portions of land in area and value, as a result of the amendment process.

 

The Agreement would provide for the 6.7 hectares of new Urban zoned land (referred to as ‘Coastal Interface Land’ under the Agreement) being transferred to Estates Development Co., in exchange for the developer:

 

1.       Transferring to the State the 6.1 hectares of new Parks and Recreation land, as well as 0.6 hectares of land for public car parking (totalling 6.7 hectares, to be equal to the 6.7 hectares of new Urban zoned land being transferred to the developer, thereby providing for the ‘equal area’ aspect of the exchange);

 

2.       Undertaking works equal to the difference in value of the Coastal Interface Land and the land transferred in 1. above, which could include such things as construction of the public car parking, improvements on the foreshore reserve, management works on the new conservation areas, and contribution to the provision of a surf life saving club facility (the actual works to be settled, including valuation, prior to them being undertaken);  and

 

3.       Should the value of 1. and 2. above be less than the value of the 6.7 hectares transferred to the developer, then the developer to pay to the State the amount of that shortfall (thereby providing for the ‘equal value’ aspect of the exchange).

 

A problem arguably exists with the above arrangement in that while approximately two hectares of land is considered to be required to accommodate the required regional beach parking, it could be argued that only about 6,000 sq m of that two hectares would be transferred to the State.  The balance of 1.4 hectares should also become public-owned land, however the Agreement as it currently stands may clearly facilitate this.  (The Agreement would enable the WAPC to lodge an absolute caveat over the land required for car parking, and also to declare a Planning Control Area over that land, but this still does not in itself require transfer of that land to the State.)

 

This problem could be resolved by agreement between WAPC and the developer or through the Agreement being varied so that it moves away from the ‘equal area’ basis, and instead requires that all of the land required for regional beach parking be transferred.  (This will mean a net increase in public land).  The principle of equal-value should however be maintained in the Agreement.

 

It is recommended that this be included as a condition of Council support for this MRS Amendment.  (The recommendation refers to an ‘Annexure 2’ plan in the Jindee Innovation Agreement which shows the land intended for ‘regional car parks’.  A copy of this plan is Attachment 3 to this report.)

 

It should be noted that at the time the Agreement was prepared and entered into, the above problem was not foreseen because at that time, the planning for the area was envisaging a Coastal Interface land area of approximately 8.3 ha (as compared to the 6.7 ha involved under this MRS Amendment).  This larger Coastal Interface Land area could have meant that all of the car parking area land would have been required to be transferred, in facilitating the ‘equal area’ exchange.  (Subsequent planning for this area by the developer involves a Coastal Interface Land area of 8.1 hectares, which would still facilitate transfer of two hectares for car parking).

 

Estates Development Company is understood to be making a submission on the MRS Amendment, seeking that the foreshore setback be reduced in size (from the 50m figure applied by the State Government) and instead take greater account of the physical attributes of that particular piece of coast, which it sees as enabling such a reduced setback.  It is recommended that Council’s position on this MRS Amendment not preclude such a more detailed assessment of this issue being undertaken.  Therefore Council could support the principle of a rationalisation of the foreshore reserve boundary to achieve better planning outcomes, but subject to long term coastal processes being adequately accounted for.

 

Should such a reduction in the foreshore setback be made, then this would mean an increase in the area of the Coastal Interface Land, and depending on the size of that increase, may mean that the problem raised earlier regarding transfer of the car parking land might not arise.

 

Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) Advice

 

The EPA has advised the WAPC that it considers that the proposed MRS Amendment should not be assessed under Part IV Division 3 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, but has provided advice and recommendations on the proposal.  The following EPA advice is of particular note:

 

2.    Advice and recommendations regarding Environmental Issues

 

Remnant vegetation and fauna

 

The EPA supports Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment 1152/41 on the basis that the two areas of Parks and Recreation (P&R) reserve are being provided to offset the area of foreshore P&R reserve (Bushforever Site No. 397) proposed to be zoned Urban.  The two P&R reserves will be linked with native vegetation retained on private lots.  The linkage is to ensure that the ecological function of the eastern portion of P&R is retained.  Without the vegetated linkage the EPA does not consider the proposed P&R to be an adequate offset for the reduced foreshore reserve.”

 

“3.          Environmental Issues not assessed

 

Without limiting the EPA’s discretion under section 38 5(e) of the EP Act to require the referral of proposals arising from the scheme amendment and your discretion, as the responsible authority, under section 481 of the EP Act to refer proposals arising from the scheme amendment, the EPA advises that the following environmental issues are not assessed:

 

·                Regional vegetation values (ecological linkages)

 

The issue of ecological linkage has been deferred to ensure that an adequate mechanism is put in place during later stages of planning that will retain and protect the vegetation between the foreshore and inland area of P&R.

 

4.       Advice and recommendations regarding Environmental Issues not assessed

 

Sufficient information is not available at this stage regarding the nature of the impacts on the environment arising from the implementation of the scheme amendment.  Accordingly, the EPA advises that the environmental issues listed in paragraph 3 above are not assessed and recommends further consideration of the need to assess proposals arising from the scheme amendment when more information is available, for example, subsequent rezoning, preparation of a Development Guide Plan, Outline Development Plan, Subdivision or development.”

 


Local Scheme Amendment

 

Council’s resolution of 11 December 2007 (referred to earlier) included a request being made to the WAPC for it to transfer the Urban zoned land to Urban Development zone under City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2), under the provisions of section 126 (3) of the Planning and Development Act, 2005, concurrently with the amendment of the MRS.

 

The MRS Amendment document refers to this request having been made, however advises that it is not appropriate that this occur, given the proponents are required to liaise with the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, the City and the EPA regarding an appropriate planning mechanism to ensure the development of an urban form in accordance with the draft Jindee Structure Plan.

 

The above WAPC position is considered reasonable as work is proceeding on the preparation of a new type of planning mechanism for this area, including a new type of zone.  A report on this matter will be presented to Council in the near future.

 

Recommended Position on MRS Amendment

 

The MRS Amendment document states that this proposed MRS Amendment and subsequent development will achieve the following key objectives and outcomes:

 

·                “The creation of a vibrant and sustainable coastal village through innovative design techniques which is physically and visually linked to the coast and will operate as an attractor for the district and regional communities;

 

·                An improved environmental and landscape character outcome for the site capturing a greater diversity of vegetation types and fauna assemblages;  and

 

·                To promote the location of regional beach parking within the urban area, rather than the standard practice of incorporating parking within the foreshore reserve between development and the coast.”

 

The above objectives and outcomes will be desirable for the City and it is therefore recommended that the principle of foreshore reserve boundary rationalisation proposed by this MRS Amendment be supported, but subject to adequate consideration of long term coastal processes, and to addressing the possible public car parking issue raised previously.

Statutory Compliance

The MRS Amendment is following the statutory processes outlined in the Planning and Development Act 2005.

Recommendation

That Council MAKES a submission to the Western Australian Planning Commission on the proposed Amendment No. 1152/41 (Jindalee (Jindee) Foreshore Rationalisation) to the Metropolitan Regional Scheme, advising that:

1.         It supports the principle of rationalisation of the foreshore reserve boundary at Jindalee to facilitate better planning outcomes for this area, subject to long term coastal processes being adequately accounted for; and

2.         Should the outcome of the MRS Amendment process be such that the size of the Coastal Interface Land is not large enough to facilitate a requirement, through the Jindee Innovation Agreement, for a transfer to the State of all of the land required for regional beach parking (but not exceeding in area the area of the land hatched in blue on Annexure 2 of the Jindee Innovation Agreement), then in the absence of required agreement between the Western Australian Planning Commission and the developer, the Council will seek a variation under clause 9.6 of the Jindee Innovation Agreement such that all of the land required for the regional beach parking (but not exceeding in area the area of the land hatched in blue on Annexure 2 of the Jindee Innovation Agreement) shall be required to be transferred to the State, and that this variation should be agreed to by the parties for the Agreement prior to this MRS Amendment taking effect.   The variation should, however, maintain the principle of the overall exchange occurring on an equal-value basis.

Issue

To consider the draft Local Structure Plan (LSP) for East Wanneroo Cell 9 - East Landsdale at the close of advertising.

 

Applicant

Development Planning Strategies

Owner

Stockland WA Development Pty Ltd and others

Location

East Landsdale

Site Area

Approximately 215 hectares (ha)

MRS Zoning

Urban Zone

DPS 2 Zoning

General Rural Zone

Background

Development Planning Strategies Town Planning Consultants representing Stockland WA Development Pty Ltd (Stockland) a major landowner of Cell 9 has submitted the draft LSP for the City’s consideration. The subject land is bounded by Gnangara Road in the north, Hepburn Avenue in the south, the locality of Landsdale in the west and Alexander Drive in the east (refer Attachment 1). The LSP area is situated near Telstra’s Perth International Telecommunication Centre (PITC).  The draft LSP, therefore, reflects the provisions of a Deed between Telstra and Stockland about the means by which the development should proceed in a way that would minimise any adverse effect on the PITC including any resulting radio frequency interference and the ongoing measures to minimise any interference.

 

It is noted that although the subject land is zoned Urban Zone in the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Metropolitan Region Scheme, in the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2 (DPS2), it is zoned General Rural. Amendment No.25 to the DPS2 to rezone this land to Urban Development Zone is currently pending with the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure for approval.

 

On 3 July 2008, the Acting Director, Planning and Development considered the draft LSP and resolved as follows (Powerdocs No.709107):

 

“That the Acting Director, Planning and Development under delegated authority from Council:

 

1.       Pursuant to Clause 9.4.1 of District Planning Scheme No.2 DETERMINES that the proposed East Landsdale Cell 9 Local Structure Plan, as submitted by Development Planning Strategies on behalf of Stockland WA Development Pty Ltd and outlined on Attachment 1 to this report is satisfactory and sends a copy of the structure plan to the Western Australian Planning Commission;

 

2.       ADVERTISES the Structure Plan under the provisions of Clause 9.5.1 of District Planning Scheme No.2 for a period of 42 days; and

 

3.       ADVISES the proponent that prior to Council’s consideration of the proposed Structure Plan for adoption, it will require the following matters to be satisfactorily addressed in consultation with the City Administration:

 

a)      Modifying the Employment Strategy submitted by the applicant to meet the requirements of the employment policy and the sustainability needs for the City; and

 

b)      Provision of a Local Water Management Strategy for the structure plan area.”

Detail

Attachment 2 contains the LSP maps as advertised for public comments.

 

The key elements of the draft LSP are as follows:

 

1.       Approximately 2150 dwellings with a split residential coding of R20/30. The average lot size is proposed to be 500m2 to achieve R20 development. R30 lots are proposed to provide housing variety;

 

2.       Integrated linear open space system;

 

3.       Retention of natural features including Conservation Category and Resource Enhancement wetlands and associated buffers. Two of the POS areas with an extent of 4.0 ha each, accommodate the existing wetlands and the associated buffers;

 

4.       Permeable and robust road network. The existing Queensway, Kingsway and Landsdale Road provide east-west movement. The draft LSP makes provision for a north-south neighbourhood connector linking Gnangara Road and Landsdale Road;

 

5.       A Local Neighbourhood Centre with a possible retail floor area of approximately 3700m2 Net Lettable Area (NLA) at the intersection of Landsdale Road and Alexander Drive. This centre is to be developed as per the Main Street principles. It will also include a Community Purpose Site of size 5000m2;

 

6.       A government Primary School along with a shared use of a full sized oval located between Kingsway and Landsdale Road;

 

7.       The existing Landsdale Garden Christian School on Queensway along the western boundary of the LSP area; and

 

8.       A Centre Zone at the intersection of Gnangara Road and Alexander Drive.


Consultation

The application was advertised for public comment for a period of 42 days by means of several on-site signs, an advertisement in the Wanneroo Times newspaper and the City’s website and writing to the abutting landowners.  The submission period closed on 26 August 2008 and 94 submissions and three petitions were received. Only one submission from the public supported the draft LSP.

Smart Growth Strategy

The proposal satisfies the following principles of the City’s Smart Growth Strategy 2005:

 

“5.1     Lifestyle and Housing Choice

 

1c.       Providing a variety of quality lifestyle options.

 

5.2       Effective Use of Land and Infrastructure

 

2a        Supporting commercial and residential developments that support community facilities, commercial facilities and public transport systems.

 

2b        Optimising the use of infrastructure and assets.”

Comment

Response to the Submissions

The main issues raised by the submissions, together with a comment are outlined below:

 

Issue 1             Connections to Landsdale

 

Opposed to the extension of the culs-de-sac in Landsdale located between Kingsway and Gnangara Road into the structure plan area.

 

Comment

 

The following culs-de-sac exist in the locality of Landsdale between Kingsway and Gnangara Road and terminate at the boundary between Landsdale and the structure plan area:

 

·                     Hamel Close,

·                     Kevo Place

·                     Graywood Court

·                     Rosebud Court

·                     Mossfiel Retreat; and

·                     Strathpine Chase

 

Hamel Close is proposed to be connected to the structure plan area via a pedestrian accessway to provide pedestrian movement.


However, in regard to the other culs-de-sac, in order to achieve permeability and robustness in the road network, it was proposed to extend them into the subject land to provide the residents of Landsdale easy access to Alexander Drive and the future facilities within the structure plan area. Since the resulting additional traffic would have an impact on the culs-de-sac, the residents of these culs-de-sac have requested the deletion of these connections.

 

Currently Queensway, Kingsway and Landsdale traverse through Landsdale and the structure plan area providing connection to Alexander Drive. While the culs-de-sac are generally proposed to connect to the internal roads, Kevo Place is proposed to extend up to Alexander Drive as a Local Distributor Road. Currently Kevo Place provides access only to four dwellings. By extending this street to Alexander Drive, traffic on Kevo Place is estimated to increase to 1650 vehicles per day (vpd).  Considering the impact of this additional traffic, it is recommended that the draft LSP be modified to delete the connection to Kevo Place.

 

As regards the other culs-de-sac, it is noted that although the increase in traffic would be minimal, since the residents (who would be benefited by these connections) are not in favour of the proposed extension, it is recommended that the LSP be modified to delete the connections.

 

The draft LSP also depicted extension to the culs-de-sac in Landsdale between Kingsway and Hepburn Avenue. The City did not receive any comments on these connections since these culs-de-sac are being constructed as part of new developments. Given that these extensions would provide easy access to the proposed Primary School and the Centre Zone within the LSP area, it is considered appropriate to retain them.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be upheld and the draft LSP be modified to delete extension to Kevo Place, Graywood Court, Rosebud Court, Mossfiel Retreat and Strathpine Chase.

 

Issue 2             Location of Primary School and Commercial Centre

 

Opposed to the Primary School and Commercial Centre being located at the southern end requiring those travelling on foot/cycle to cross the already congested Kingsway.

 

Comment

 

The requirement for not centrally locating the Primary School and Commercial Centre sites was based on the provisions of the Deed between Telstra and Stockland, which required to locate these facilities to the south of Kingsway in order to minimise any adverse effect on the PITC facility including any resulting radio frequency interference.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

 

Issue 3             Excessive provision of POS areas within Lots 71 – 74 Queensway

 

Subject lots are proposed to provide excessive, unrealistic and unjustified contribution to POS.

 

Comment

 

The submittor on behalf of his client has advised that the total extent of POS areas should be limited to 10% of the client’s landholding on Lots 71 to 74,which is 17.9768 ha. However, instead of providing 10% of this area, the draft LSP depicts 4.0998 hectares of POS. Upon appreciation of the dampland area and the buffer, the landowners are of the view that they should be providing no more than 2.8 ha of land for POS.

 

A POS area of 4.0998 ha was proposed considering the wetland and the vegetation. In this regard it is noted that the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in its submission has requested the City to increase the area of POS surrounding the wetland to further protect the wetland and to preserve a greater area of native vegetation in very good condition. Although the applicant has advised that the buffer around the wetland has been provided in accordance with the EPA policy, the officers of EPA have requested the City to reconsider the extent of the POS by including areas of remnant vegetation in ‘very good’ and ‘good’ condition.

 

In regard to providing more than 10% POS within a landholding it is noted that the landowners will be suitably compensated as per the provisions of the DPS2.

 

Recommendations

 

To request the applicant to reconsider the extent of the POS areas on Lots 71 to 74 Queensway to the satisfaction of the Environmental Protection Authority and the City.

 

Issue 4             Overprovision of POS in the entire Cell

 

The LSP area in its entirety contains too much POS areas.

 

Comment

 

The submittor has pointed out that of the total 22.3447 ha of POS provided, 1.2928 ha accounts for wetlands and 3.912 ha for wetland buffer. The net area is 17.1389ha, which is 8.5% of the unrestricted POS when it only needs to be 16.062ha or 8% of the developable POS area.

 

While the submittor suggests that there needs to be only 8% unrestricted POS areas, the Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) Liveable Neighbourhoods (LN) policy states that the WAPC will accept no more than one-fifth of the 10% contribution as restricted POS, which implies that the restricted POS can be less than 2%.

 

The total extent of the LSP area is 215.55 ha and gross subdivisible area is 200.7755ha requiring 20.0775ha POS area. The total extent of the POS area proposed is 22.3447ha. Considering the wetland partial credits, the net POS area proposed is 20.0775ha. Hence the proposal is satisfactory.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

 


Issue 5             Wetlands

 

Wetland to receive POS credits.

 

Comment

 

The submittor has advised that the LN policy allows certain categories of wetlands to be included within the 10% POS requirement. The subject wetland is, at best, only dampland as there has never been any surface expression of groundwater and it is only recognised as wetland by virtue of vegetation types and as such it should be considered useable open space.

 

In this regard it is noted that as per the LN policy, only buffers to Conservation Category Wetland can be included in restricted use public open space. Hence the Conservation Category Wetland by itself cannot receive POS credits.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

 

Issue 6             Wetland buffers

 

Wetland buffers to receive 100% credit as long as the area of buffer does not exceed 20% of the 10% POS.

 

Comment:

 

The submittor has noted that wetland buffers over the entire LSP area measures 3.9120 hectares, thus constituting 19.48% of the 10% POS and should receive 100% credit.

 

In this regard it is noted that the LN policy (R30 and R33 of Element 4) state that:-

 

·                (R30)“The WAPC will accept no more than one-fifth of the 10% contribution being made up of restricted use public open space sites.”

 

·                (R33)“the WAPC may allow for the following to be included in restricted use public open space”.

 

buffers to an Environmental Protection Policy, conservation category wetland or wetland of a similar environmental value provided that:

  

the area included in public open space is usable for recreational purposes; and there is agreement with the local government or other management agencies referral agencies  and the WAPC on a management plan that enhances the wetland.”

 

The applicant has advised that considering the above two provisions, an 80% credit for the buffer has been achieved in the draft LSP. However, considering the matters discussed in Issue 3 with reference to the advice received from EPA, the POS provision within the LSP area will need to be reconsidered prior to the adoption of the draft LSP by the City.

 


Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

Issue 7             Primary School site

 

The location of the Primary School site is not acceptable to the Department of Training and Education (DET) as it requires negotiation for land acquisition with a large number of landowners.

 

Comment

 

DET has advised that the current location of the Primary School (PS) site is not acceptable since the site is located over portions of eight individual landholdings and it is not practical for land acquisition. Moreover, DET has advised that the east-west orientation of the POS site is also not conducive to locating the oval in the north-south direction. In consultation with the applicant, DET has reconsidered the location of the POS and PS site as depicted on Attachment 3. As per the modified plan, DET will need to negotiate with only five landowners to acquire the PS site.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be supported and the draft LSP be modified as shown on Attachment 3.

 

Issue 8             Aboriginal Heritage Survey

 

Requirement for an Aboriginal Heritage Survey

 

Comment

 

The Department of Indigenous Affairs (DIA) has advised that there are three sites on the Register of Aboriginal Sites that intersect with the project area and therefore has requested for Aboriginal Heritage Survey to include examination of the ethnographic and archaeological values of the area prior to undertaking the work programme. The applicant has indicated that a desktop study has identified an Aboriginal Heritage site outside the structure plan area. It is recommended that this matter be considered at the subdivision stage.

 

Recommendation

 

That the Aboriginal Heritage Survey be undertaken at the subdivision stage.

 

Issue 9             North-South Boulevard

 

To relocate the proposed north-south Boulevard.

 

Comment

 

The owner of Lot 152, Gnangara Road has requested relocation of the central 23-metre wide north-south boulevard and the associated roundabout proposed on his land.


Likewise the submittor representing the owner of Lots 71 – 74 Queensway has requested to relocate the road and reduce the width of the road based on the estimated traffic volume. In this regard the following comments are made.

 

Lot 152 Gnangara Road

Originally the subject road was located closer to the intersection of Gnangara Road and Alexander Drive on the eastern boundary of Lot 152 Gnangara Road. Since this location was on a hill, in order to provide sufficient sight distance, at the request of the City, the road was moved westward. Consequently, the applicant located this road along with an associated roundabout entirely within Lot 152. Since this proposal would limit the lot yield in Lot 152, the landowner has requested that the road be moved further away westward on the boundary of Lots 152 and 49 Gnangara Road so that the cost of the road can be shared between the two landowners.

 

The submittor’s concerns are considered to be reasonable. In this regard it is noted that the draft LSP depicts a POS of size 2.054 hectare on the eastern boundary of the subject road. Hence modification to the location of the Boulevard will need to be assessed along with the POS.

 

Lots 71 to 74 Queensway

The submittor has indicated that according to the LN policy, a divided Boulevard is only preferred where the estimated traffic volumes exceed 3000 vehicles per day (vpd). As per the traffic report, the volume of traffic on this road is estimated to be less than 3000 vpd except at the intersection of this road and Gnangara Road, which is 3100 vpd. The volume of traffic within Lot 71 to 74 Queensway is in the range of 540 to 1650 vpd. Hence the submittor has requested to reconsider the width of this road. The submittor has further advised that if the proponent of the draft LSP would wish to retain a 23-metre wide Boulevard to enhance the image of this estate, then the Boulevard should not affect his client’s landholding.

 

Since the submittor’s claim is considered to be reasonable, it is recommended that the Boulevard be realigned to the satisfaction of the City.

 

The submittors have pointed out that the subject road will need to be constructed by the respective landowners at the subdivision stage. Considering the cost involved in the construction of a Boulevard, they are of the view that the road should not run within their client’s landholdings.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issues be supported and the draft LSP be modified to relocate the Central north-south boulevard on the boundary of Lots 49 and 154 Gnangara Road giving due consideration to the adjoining POS and to request the applicant to the reconsider the width of the Boulevard considering the LN policy and the estimated volume of traffic and to modify the draft LSP to realign the Boulevard to the satisfaction of the City.

 

Issue 10           Connection to Hepburn Avenue

 

The proposed road connecting to Hepburn Avenue and Landsdale Road to be relocated to the eastern boundary of Lot 151 Landsdale Road.

 


Comment

 

The owners of Lot 151 have advised that the proposed road connection and the associated roundabout would affect their house located on Landsdale Road and therefore have requested relocation of this road.

 

It is recommended that the draft LSP be suitably modified to relocate the connecting road on the boundary of Lots 151 and 152 Landsdale Road.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be supported and the draft LSP be modified to relocate the road connecting Landsdale Road and Hepburn Avenue along the boundary between Lots 151 and 152 Landsdale Road, Landsdale.

 

Issue 11           Modifications to the Road Layout

 

To modify the road pattern depicted on Lot 130 Landsdale Road.

 

Comment

 

The submittor has requested to modify the road layout in respect to Lot 130 Landsdale Road. Since the modification would not affect the road pattern proposed for the adjoining landholdings, it is recommended that the matter can be considered at the subdivision stage.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted.

 

Issue 12           Higher Density Retirement Village

 

To provide higher density retirement village to the south of Landsdale Road.

 

Comment

 

Considering the low-density proposal required by Telstra, a higher density retirement village within the structure plan is unlikely.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

 

Issue 13           Lot 48 Gnangara Road

 

To extend the North-South access street to the proposed east-west Local Distributor Road (LDR) and to increase the density to R40 and to relocate the Gnangara Road drainage sump straddling Lots 48 and 49

 


Comment

 

In the draft LSP, the north-south internal road proposed within Lot 48 Gnangara Road is not proposed to be connected to the proposed east-west LDR connecting Kevo Place and Alexander Drive. Since it is recommended in Issue 1 above that Kevo Place not be connected to this LDR, it is recommended that the north-south road within Lot 48 be extended to the LDR.

 

In accordance with the Telstra Deed R40 coding is not recommended within the structure plan area.

 

As regards the drainage sump, it is located at the lowest point and therefore cannot be relocated.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue regarding the north-south internal road within Lot 48 Gnangara Road be supported and the draft LSP be modified to connect this road to the LDR.

 

Issue 14           Special Use Zoning

 

Lots 61 and 62 Alexander Drive and Lot 601 Queensway to be zoned Special Use Zone to allow the existing Nursery and other rural uses.

 

Comment

 

The submittor has requested that in view of the current Rural Uses located on Lots 61 and 62 and 601, these lots be zoned Special Use Zone or Additional Use in the draft LSP and not to be considered as Non-Conforming uses.

 

Since these Rural Uses are not compatible within the proposed Residential Zone in the draft LSP, it is not considered appropriate to zone them Special Use Zone but to consider them as Non-Conforming uses.

 

Under the provisions of the DPS2, a non-conforming use can continue for the purpose for which it was lawfully used at the Gazettal date of the Scheme. In this instance, when Amendment No.25 to the DPS2 is gazetted, the existing Rural uses on the subject site can continue as a non-conforming use.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

 

Issue 15           Centre Zone on Lot 155 Alexander Drive

 

To depict a larger Centre Zone on Lot 155, Alexander Drive.

 

Comment

 

The submittor has indicated that in the original plan prepared by the applicant (refer Attachment 4), a larger portion of Lot 155 was shown as Centre Zone.


Since the draft LSP only depicts a part of this lot as Centre Zone, the submittor has requested that the draft LSP be modified. In view of this, it is recommended that the applicant be requested to reconsider this matter.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be supported and the applicant be requested to reconsider the configuration of the Centre Zone with reference to that shown on Attachment 4.

 

Issue 16           POS in Lot 147 Landsdale Road

 

To relocate the POS shown on Lot 147 Landsdale Road.

 

Comment

 

The submittor has advised that the proposed POS area on Lot 147 Landsdale Road is not suitable since the contours of the subject land indicate a steep gradient and therefore it would not be economically viable to position the POS as proposed.

 

The contour map indicates a 10-metre north-south cross fall within Lot 147. Hence in order to create this POS considerable earthwork will need to be undertaken. As a result, batters will intrude into the POS area. It is, therefore recommended that the draft LSP be modified to relocate the POS area to a more useable site.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be supported and the POS area be relocated to a more useable site.

 

Issue 17           Roundabout on Lot 9001 Kingsway

 

To relocate the roundabout proposed on Lot 9001, Kingsway and to recode the lot to R30 in its entirety.

 

Comment

 

The submittor has advised that since the proposed location of the roundabout as depicted on the draft LSP at Lot 9001, Kingsway is about 100 metres from the intersection of Kingsway and Alexander Drive, it would be desirable to move the roundabout to the west as it would improve the vehicle stacking distance at this intersection.

 

In this regard it is noted that the City’s Traffic section supports the location of the roundabout as depicted in the draft LSP and therefore no change is recommended.

 

As regards recoding the lot to R30 it is noted that the draft LSP proposes R20/30 split coding and recommends average R20 lots within a parent lot. This will allow some R30 lots. Since this arrangement is based on the Telstra Deed no change to the coding is recommended.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

 

Issue 18           Retail Floor space

 

Not to specify the retail floor space of the Centre Zone proposed at the corner of Landsdale Road and Alexander Drive.

 

Comment

 

The draft LSP makes provision for a retail floor space of approximately 3700m2 NLA in respect to the Centre Zone proposed at the corner of Landsdale Road and Alexander Drive. The submittor has indicated that a retail cap should not be allocated for the Centre zone.

 

Clause 3.13.5 of DPS 2 requires that all Centre Zones specify the maximum retail floorspace applicable to each zone.  This DPS2 provision must be complied with and Part 1 of the LSP therefore needs to include this specification.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

 

Issue 19           Lot 1981 Gnangara Road - Centre Zone

 

The Centre Zone proposed at the corner of Alexander Drive and Gnangara Road on Lot 1981 Gnangara Road, Landsdale to be removed and consolidated with the other Centre Zone to the south.

 

Comment

 

The City’s Smart Growth section has objected to the subject Centre Zone.

 

Discussions with representatives of the owner of the subject land indicate that the proposed Centre Zone is not to develop a shopping centre but to establish a Convenience Store to also sell petrol and petroleum products. In other words, it is proposed to establish a Service Station. Considering the location of the site at the intersection of two major roads, it was considered appropriate to locate such a land use rather than residential land uses.

 

Telstra in its correspondence of 12 October 1994 to the former City of Wanneroo advised that it had no major objections to the proposed rezoning of the said land (then Lot 153) to accommodate a Service Station subject to the implementation of the measures to minimise possible radio frequency interference to PITC services.

 

It is further noted that the site is located within the Gnangara Mound. As per WAPC’s Statement of Planning Policy 2.2 on Gnangara Groundwater Protection, the subject site is situated within Priority 3 – Source Protection Area wherein the land use ‘Service Station’ is compatible subject to the site being connected to deep sewerage. The structure plan area including the subject land will be connected to deep sewerage as a condition of subdivision.

 

Further discussions with the Smart Growth section indicate that while it does not support a shopping centre at this Centre Zone, a Convenience Store is supported. It is further noted that City did not receive any specific comment on this Centre Zone during the public comment period.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue be noted and a suitable provision be included in the Statutory Section of the draft LSP to the effect that no other land uses other than a Convenience Store will be permitted in this Centre Zone.

 

Issue    20        Private School

 

To relocate the POS area adjoining the Private School located on Lot 70 Queenway.

 

Comment

 

The draft LSP depicts residential lots adjoining the school site. The Principal of the School has requested to relocate the 4.0 ha POS proposed to the east of the Boulevard to the west so that the school can make use of this POS. Since the said POS is proposed as part of the wetland it cannot be relocated.

 

Recommendation

 

That the issue not be supported.

Other Issues

1.         Residential Density Coding

 

The following provisions are proposed in regard to Residential Density Codings.

 

·                All subdivisions shall adhere to the minimum lot size of 270m2 complying with R30 coding while having an average lot size of 500m2 (R20) in each subdivision;

 

·                The maximum permissible number of lots/dwellings shall be calculated by dividing the Nett Residential Area of a parent lot by the average lot area for R20 as defined by the RD Codes, which is 500m2; and

 

·                Nett Residential Area is defined as land occupied by residential development excluding non-residential land uses that are not capable of being used for residential purposes.

 

The consultant representing Telstra concurs with the above proposal.

 

Considering the above proposal it is noted that the number of lots within a parent lot will need to be always constant.

 

The following issues are identified in regard to this proposal:

 

1.       The proposed Residential Design Coding for the entire structure plan area is R20/30. The applicant has not provided a mechanism to determine the R20 and R30 lots. (For example, in the Butler Ridgewood structure plan area where R20/30 split coding is applicable, R30 would apply to the laneway lots and R20 to the other lots.)

 


2.       If the parent lot could yield maximum say 20 lots, at the first round of subdivision of the parent lot, the landowner would have the choice to create less than 20 lots, thus creating large lots which could have the potential for further subdivision based on R30 provisions. In doing so, this parent lot could create more than 20 lots. In order to address this issue, the applicant proposes that the while considering further subdivision of large ‘R30’ lots, reference should be made to the original parent lot and the possible maximum lot yield. Therefore, it would imply that further subdivision of larger R30 lots would be on “first-come-first-served” basis, which may appear to be ‘unfair’.

 

3.       After the first round of subdivision in order to assess further subdivision the City Administration will need to go back to the parent lot to assess the subdivision application. Attachment 5 contains the Parent Lot Plan, which the applicant proposes to include in the Statutory Section of the draft LSP. This plan:

           

a)       does not give the dimensions (length, width and area) of each parent lot;

b)      is available in large scale (A4 size) whereas the subdivision plans will be in smaller scale; and

c)       will need to be super-imposed over the subdivision plan to determine the maximum allowable lots;

 

Furthermore during the first round of subdivision, the subdivision proposal could create lots straddling adjoining parent lots. As a result, it would be difficult to assess the number of lots created within a parent lot.

 

4.       Since the road pattern shown on the subdivision plan could be different to that shown on the draft LSP, it could change the Nett Residential Area.

 

Considering the above matters and in the absence of a definite mechanism to determine R20 and R30 lots, the proposed process is considered to be very complex, cumbersome and difficult to implement.

 

Under the provisions of the City’s Housing Strategy, it would be ideal to propose a range of residential density in the draft LSP in order to provide a housing variety. In this instance, Telstra’s main concern is to limit the lots to R20 potential. Therefore considering the special circumstances, and in the absence of a mechanism to determine R20 and R30 lots,  it is recommended that the entire structure plan area be coded R20.

 

2.         Local Water Management Strategy (LWMS)

 

The developer has advised that following consultation with the City Administration, it has been confirmed that urban water management targets for the LSP area are not available at this time and that it was agreed that developing a LWMS in the absence of these targets is inconsistent with the Department of Water guidelines and industry best practice. In this regard the developer has proposed the following action:

 

·                “To develop a Water Management Framework to establish urban water management targets as soon as practicable;

 


·                To include in the statutory section of the draft LSP the following statements:

 

“The urban water cycle within the LSP area will be managed via water sensitive urban design practices that are consistent with the State Planning Policy 2.9 and a Water Management Framework for Cell 9 which is currently being developed by the City; and

 

Landowners are to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan that complies with the Water Management Framework as part of the subdivision process to better manage urban water resources”.

 

In this regard it is noted that although the City agrees that district level water management targets have not yet been developed for the East Landsdale area, this does not indicate agreement that the development of a LWMS would be inconsistent with Department of Water guidelines. Advice received from the Department of Water clearly states that a LWMS would be required for the Cell 9 LSP to satisfy State Planning Policy 2.9: Water Resources, in accordance with WAPC guidelines.

 

The City, however, recognises issues brought upon by multiple ownership and timelines, and is therefore supportive of an alternative approach to address water management in the area. In consideration of the comments from the developer, the development of a Water Management Framework is still required by the proponent to be included as an appendix to the draft LSP and referred to in the Statutory Section.

 

Urban Water Management Plans prior to the lodgement of the subdivision application are required to integrate water and land use planning. With appropriate subdivision design, it is considered unlikely that applications would be so significantly altered that drainage plans would require revision.

 

Considering the above it is recommended,

 

·                To require the applicant to prepare a Water Management Framework to the satisfaction of the City prior to the adoption of the draft LSP,

 

and to include the following provisions in the Statutory Section of the draft LSP.

 

·                Implement water sensitive urban design in accordance with the Water Management Framework; and

 

·                Develop Urban Water Management Plans to the satisfaction of the City of Wanneroo and the Department of Water prior to the lodgement of any subdivision application with the Western Australian Planning Commission.

 

3.         Employment Strategy

 

The applicant was requested to modify the Employment Strategy prior to Council considering the draft LSP. In this regard the applicant has provided the following advice:

 

·                “Special circumstances applying to Cell 9 as a result of the Telstra’s requirement to impose a limit on land uses have resulted in limited opportunities within the LSP area to provide land uses of employment generating nature;

 

·                The LSP meets all sustainability objectives as demonstrated in the SGAT assessment with the single exception of only providing 22% employment self sufficiency within the structure plan area;

 

·                Amendment No.25 to the DPS2 proposes to modify the East Wanneroo Cell Works provision for Cell 9 to include as a Cell cost, an employment levy (per lot contribution to the City); and

 

·                In the absence of Amendment No.25 currently there is no mechanism pursuant to Council’s Scheme to require all landowners within Cell 9 to contribute an employment levy.”

 

In light of the above, no revised Employment Strategy has been submitted. 

 

To enable the LSP to progress, Stockland, as the major landowner, has suggested that it is prepared to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City that agrees to a retrospective economic development contribution for all lots developed prior to the date of any statutory developer contributions becoming compulsory as a result of Amendment No.25 or any future amendment subject to a sunset clause of two years.

 

In response to this proposal, the City’s Economic Development Unit advised the Applicant that this would not be sufficient to address the requirements of the resolution to modify the Employment Strategy of the LSP to meet the needs of the Employment Policy and the sustainability needs for the City.  Irrespective of the outcome of financial employment contributions being enforced through Amendment 25 or a future amendment, the City’s Employment Policy is clear in its expectation for developers to support a range of employment-generating initiatives, including the provision for financial contributions.

 

The site constraints of the development do not change the end result that the LSP will bring an additional burden of new workers to the region together with a shortfall of jobs that will compound the employment self-sufficiency challenges of the region. The LSP predicts an estimated 22% employment self-sufficiency locally, well short of the City’s Smart Growth target of 40%. 

 

Furthermore, no local or regional employment strategies had been included in the LSP to support local employment generation (beyond the provision of land) or the achievement of the broader regional employment self-sufficiency target of 72%.  Given the shortfall in the local employment of the LSP area, a greater emphasis on regional initiatives and a proactive approach to involvement in regional programs would have been expected. 

 

The argument presented by the applicant that surrounding land uses outside of the LSP would make up for the shortfall of employment lacked any acknowledgement of a responsibility to contribute (either financially or otherwise) towards this provision of employment.  No agreements have been put forward that demonstrate other surrounding land developers are willing to take on this burden.

 

The City's Employment Policy is clear in its requirement for developers to consider strategies to address the employment challenges of the region. This includes provision for a financial contribution.  Whilst this contribution is currently considered as part of a negotiated outcome and does not have the head of power of a Scheme amendment, it is clearly an element of the City’s Employment Policy.

 

In the light of the shortfall of employment and the lack of both local and regional employment programs, it is considered appropriate that the City expect a financial contribution to enable the City to take on this burden through its own programs.

 

Regarding the MOU Proposal:

 

Whilst the MOU proposal allows the City to ensure that any financial contributions required in lieu of employment are collectable should Amendment 25 or an alternative be adopted, it leaves the City open to risk that the Amendment is not adopted and thereby the employment issue remains unresolved.

 

In order to progress this matter, the Economic Development Unit put forward a proposed framework for the provision of financial contributions to offset employment provision.  The applicant has responded to this framework by acknowledging that they would agree to a financial contribution in line with this framework, namely:

 

“Should the Employment Levy be imposed as a condition of approval of either Amendment 25 or the Local Structure Plan, Stockland’s financial contribution will be between $284,000 - $546,700 as set out in the above referenced Proposed Framework for Developer Contributions for Economic Development (draft), with such contributions to be paid at the time clearances are sought for the lots that are created.”

 

The precise financial amount is dependent upon the number of lots developed.

 

In addition, Stockland has committed to:

 

“Work closely with the City to identify programs/strategies/initiatives that will assist the Employment Policy objectives being achieved.”

 

Recommendation

 

Considering the above matters it is recommended that the applicant be required to submit a modified Employment Strategy, but in advance of this, that Council supports subdivision applications subject to the landowners concerned entering into formal agreements with the City to the effect that they will make employment contributions.

 

 

4.         Use permissibility

 

The applicant has proposed that all uses in the Residential Precinct other than Use Classes, Single House, Grouped Dwelling and Home Business Categories 1 to 3 and those uses listed in Map 1 -Structure Plan which are Schools, Public Open Space, Drainage Sump, are not permitted for the purpose of this Structure Plan. It is recommended that the applicant be requested to modify the Statutory Section accordingly.

 

5.         Scheme Amendment

 

Amendment No.25 to the DPS2 currently pending approval of the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure makes provisions to include East Landsdale locality as Cell 9 in Part 10 and Schedule 9 of the DPS2 with some additional provisions relevant to Cell 9 relating to contributions towards development of “public open space areas to a basic standard and employment contributions pursuant to the City’s employment policy”. Therefore the other provisions of the DPS2 relevant to other East Wanneroo Cells would also apply to Cell 9.  In this regard the following matters are noted.

 

·                Under subclause 10.6.2 of the DPS2, for the purpose of apportioning Cell Costs, an estimate of the lot yield for each cell is made by determining the number of hectares in the Cell and multiplying that area by Nine (ie Nine lots per hectare); and

 

·                Under subclause 10.6.4(a) of the DPS2, cost per lot is assessed by dividing the total area of the lot by 450m2 to derive a lot potential for the lot.

 

In the subject structure plan it is proposed to calculate the maximum permissible number of lots/dwellings, by dividing the Nett Residential Area of a parent lot by the average lot area for R20, which is 500m2. Since this method of calculating the number of lots is different to that mentioned in the DPS2, a scheme amendment would be required to address this matter. Hence it is recommended that prior to the City adopting the draft LSP, the applicant be advised to request the City to initiate an amendment to the DPS2.

 

The above proposed scheme amendment also needs to define the “basic standard” (indicated in Amendment No.25) for the development of each POS area proposed in the draft LSP.

 

6.         Subdivision – Interim Arrangement

 

It is possible that Stockland or/and other landowners may decide to submit subdivision applications prior to the structure plan and the developer contribution arrangements proposed under Amendment No.25 to the DPS2 being in place. The recommendation which follows therefore includes an item to address this possibility.

Further Consultation

Given the extent and number of amendments proposed to the draft Structure Plan and the multiple and fragmented land ownership, it is considered necessary to advertise the plan for a further period of 28 days.   To assist the community in understanding  the proposal it is intended that an  information forum be held during the advertising period.

Statutory Compliance

This Structure Plan application has been processed in accordance with the requirements of 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 choice and quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options;

2.5       Improve Community safety; and

2.5       Improve transport options and connections.”

Issue

To consider an amendment to the Drovers Place Precinct Structure Plan No 47 (SP47) to increase the list of permissible land uses in the restricted use precinct.

 

Applicant

Turner Master Planners Australia

Owner

Goldrange Pty Ltd and Greenpark Asset Pty Ltd

Location

Lots 810 (1397) & 811 (1387) Wanneroo Road, Wanneroo

Site Area

5.7 Ha

DPS 2 Zoning

General Rural

Background

SP47 was approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 14 August 2007.  The area (refer Attachment 1) is in the process of being transferred from the Rural Zone to the Urban Development Zone in the City of Wanneroo District Planning Scheme No 2 (DPS2), concurrently with an amendment of the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS). 

 

SP 47 identifies lots 810 and 811 Wanneroo Road in the Restricted Use Precinct (illustrated as Restricted Business Precinct on Plan 1 - refer Attachment 2).  The use of these lots is restricted to a retail nursery with incidental café; landscape supplies and growers’ mart (which includes the wholesale distribution and retail sale of primary products, including fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and bread).

 

Planning approvals have previously been granted for the development of buildings on Lots 810 and 811 for rural industry (prior to SP47), a growers’ mart and retail nursery with incidental café.  The total floor area of the buildings approved on these lots exceeds 12,800 sq m.  In November 2007, approval was granted to a change of use of the rural industry buildings on Lot 810 from rural industry to growers’ mart.  This effectively extinguished the previously approved rural industry use for Lot 810.

 

Amongst other uses, Amendment 1 proposes to introduce showrooms. It is important to note that whilst Council supported showrooms as an acceptable use, the Western Australian Planning Commission would not approve this use as part of the original SP47 proposal and was subsequently deleted from the Restricted Use Precinct provisions.

 

At its meeting of 21 October 2008, Council referred this item back to Administration for further consideration.

Detail

Amendment 1 proposes increasing the number of the permissible uses in the Restricted Use Precinct.  Council was asked by the applicant to include Showrooms, Pharmacy (discount), Medical Centre, Liquor Store, Recreation Centre (private), and Self Storage Units.  The applicant argued that these all have large floor area requirements and cannot afford the rents in commercial/shopping centres.

 

At its meeting on 8 April 2008, Council resolved (PD02-04/08) to advertise Amendment 1, but only to include showrooms, self storage units, veterinary consulting rooms and veterinary hospital in the amendment (refer Attachment 3 – modified text).

 

On 5 May 2008, the applicant lodged DR175 of 2008 with the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT), to review Council’s decision to initiate and advertise Amendment 1 without all the uses that had been requested. The applicant sought to have SAT agree that Pharmacy (discount outlet), Medical Centre, Liquor Store, and Recreation Centre (private), should also be included in the amendment. 

 

A Mediation Hearing at SAT on 1 August 2008 was also attended by Mr P McNabb, the consultant undertaking the review of the City’s Centres Strategy, via a tele-conferencing link. Mediation adjourned so that the parties, including Mr McNabb, could meet on site to inspect the development and discuss possible alternative uses which could be supported by the City to fill the extensive nett lettable floor area on Lots 810 and 811.

 

Processing of Amendment 1 was held pending a determination by SAT.  This became a more protracted matter when an application was made to SAT by solicitors acting for Peet Limited to intervene in the review.  Intervention was sought by Peet Limited (the owner of the Carramar Neighbourhood and Banksia Grove District Centres) to participate as an objector.  The initial application was dismissed by SAT and an appeal to the Supreme Court was foreshadowed.

 

On 23 September 2008, the City was advised that the applicant had withdrawn the SAT proceedings, thereby leaving it open for the City to continue processing Amendment 1. 

Consultation

Amendment 1 was advertised for public comment until 27 May 2008.  Two submissions were received.

Submission 1

Although it did not object to Amendment 1, Main Roads WA expressed an interest in exploring the closure of the access to Wanneroo Road at Lot 811 and providing an access opposite Clarkson Avenue.

 

Response:  This will enable the progressive closure of all individual crossovers along Wanneroo Road.  It is not something that can be included in Amendment 1, and a broader review of SP47 is recommended.


Submission 2

This was a late submission by Greg Rowe and Associates on behalf of Peet Limited.  It should be read in conjunction with the submission by Deacons, solicitors acting on behalf of Peet Limited, in relation to the application for intervention at SAT in DR175 of 2008.  The submissions do not object to the uses agreed by Council for advertising Amendment 1, but strongly oppose other uses, which will be accommodated in the new Carramar Neighbourhood and Banksia Grove centres.

 

Response: The strength of the opposition is evident from the intention of Peet Limited to seek intervention at SAT, and to foreshadow an appeal to the Supreme Court on the matter. In the time that has elapsed since Amendment 1 was initiated, the review of the City’s Centres Strategy has advanced to the stage where it should be a serious consideration, when Council determines whether or not to discontinue the amendment.

 

The Manager Smart Growth and Manager Economic Development have also been consulted and their comments have been included in this report.

Smart Growth Strategy

The type of development that is taking place on Lots 810 and 811 has implications for the City’s Smart Growth Strategy that should not be overlooked.  The review of the Centres Strategy (refer Attachment 4 – extract) is well advanced, and will reinforce the benefits of planned, appropriately located activity centres, providing a mix of retail, office, business and retail developments in close proximity to where people live.

Comment

Amendment 1 proposes the introduction of new uses that Administration considers are not consistent with the City’s Centres Strategy and Policy, neither of which identifies the subject land as an activity centre. The hierarchy of centres promoted in the Centres Policy 2000 (which are in close proximity to the SP47 area) include a District Centre, a Neighbourhood Centre and two Local Centres at Banksia Grove, as well as two Local Centres at Carramar and one at Tapping.

 

The policy promotes initiatives to establish new mixed business areas, and promotes employment and the attraction of more commerce to Wanneroo.  Although it also promotes a flexible approach to centre development, this should not be interpreted to mean a flexible approach to location, because the policy aims to make the best use of planned and existing community infrastructure and to facilitate business development at all regional, district and neighbourhood centres.

 

Major arterials are mentioned in the policy as possible business centre locations where easy access is available.  Such locations offer good exposure to passing traffic and it is this aspect of the policy that may be argued in support of Amendment 1 in particular.  It seeks to make the highest and best use of the significant floor area of the existing and proposed buildings approved on Lots 810 and 811.

 


The Drovers Place Precinct is not a planned centre under the City’s Centres Strategy and could potentially have a detrimental impact on other centres planned nearby, including the Tapping Local Centre, the Carramar Neighbourhood Centre, the Banksia Grove District Centre and the Wanneroo Town Centre.  The floor space planned for these centres has been calculated on the basis that there will not be a major competing centre in the Drovers Place Precinct.

 

The Carramar Neighbourhood Centre is under construction and is planned for completion in December 2008.  It is less than a kilometre from the Drovers Place Precinct and will comprise some 4500 sq m of floor area, and an adjoining community purpose area.  A pharmacy, medical centre, café, fast food, liquor store, tavern and recreation centre will be accommodated in or adjacent to the Carramar Neighbourhood Centre.  The Banksia Grove District Centre will be some two kilometres from the Drovers Place Precinct and will accommodate a discount department store, supermarkets, speciality shops, showrooms, community centre, and medical centre and consulting rooms.

 

Any increase in the range of permissible uses in the restricted use precinct is contrary to the intent of SP47, and will result in a major activity centre being developed contrary to the City’s Centres Policies and Strategy.  The intention of the owners to establish a large retail/wholesale centre on Lots 810 and 811 is evident from the uses requested for inclusion in Amendment 1 and the planning applications that have been submitted for Council’s consideration. In this regard, recent development applications have included:

 

·                DA08/0657 for the sale of cooked fish and hot potato chips from Lot 810, was refused by Council at its meeting on 23 September 2008.

 

·                DA08/0807 for storage/warehouse units on Lot 811.  The application was referred for WAPC comment because the land is adjacent to MRS Regional Reservations – Wanneroo Road and the Yellagonga Regional Park.

 

The establishment of what may reasonably be considered as a ‘patisserie’ and as a ‘delicatessen’, in recently completed buildings on Lot 810, go beyond what may reasonably be considered simply as the sale of bread and the sale of meat respectively, under the definition of “Growers Mart” in SP 47 and may be subject to further investigation by the City.

Statutory Compliance

Amendment No 82 to DPS2 will rezone the SP47 land from Rural to Urban Development through the provisions of section 126(3) of the Planning and Development Act 2005.  This has been requested by the City, and will happen simultaneously with Amendment 1155/57 of the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) which proposes transferring the land in the SP47 area from the Rural Zone to the Urban Zone.  When these amendments are published in the Government Gazette, SP47 will provide the mechanism of controlling development in the Drovers Place Precinct.

 

Section 7.1 of SP47 states amongst other things that industrial, commercial, rural and medium/high density residential developments are not considered suitable in this area.  Verbal advice from an officer in the Department of Planning and Infrastructure is that some 19 submissions have been received in response to the advertising of MRS Amendment 1155/57.  One of these has requested a hearing and a committee for this is being set up by the WAPC. 


It is understood that whilst submissions don’t object to the rezoning, they raise concerns about the construction of SP47 and its adequacy as a development control instrument when the land is rezoned Urban Development in DPS2.

Strategic Implications

The subject site is not recognised as a Centre under the City’s current Centres Strategy.  Since the adoption by Council at its meeting of 8 April 2008 of Amendment No. 1 to SP47, further progress has been made on the preparation of a new Activity Centres Strategy/Local Planning Policy (LPP) for the City to replace the current Centres Strategy/LPP.  This has now reached the stage of adoption by Council at its meeting of 23 September 2008 of a draft Activity Centres Strategy/LPP.

 

Section 10 of the draft Strategy/LPP is most relevant to proposed Amendment No. 1 and is included as Attachment 4 to this report.  While this strategy is a draft and does not yet have effect as a LPP under DPS2, it is still considered appropriate that Council have regard to it in considering the current position on Amendment No. 1.  The position being proposed by the draft Strategy/LPP in respect to out-of-centre developments such as Drovers Place is that they should be opposed for the reasons set out in Section 10 of the draft and it is considered that this approach should now be applied to Amendment 1, notwithstanding that Council previously initiated it.

 

In the course of acting as an expert witness in the recent SAT appeal relating to this case, Peter McNabb provided a draft report on the matter which included the following evaluation of proposed uses on the site (the proposed uses referring to those originally proposed by the applicant in seeking amendment of SP47), and this provides a more focussed application to this site of the draft Strategy’s approach to out-of-centre development:

 

“The proposed uses in conjunction with the existing operations on the two sites are creating a very large mixed use, highway-oriented “destination” centre at this key strategic site in the City of Wanneroo.

 

If approved, the built form could comprise an area of close to 20,000 square metres.  This is comparable in size to the Kingsway City retail centre in Madeley.

 

The form of the development has moved considerably beyond the “retail nursery with incidental café, landscape supplies and growers mart” as permitted in the Restricted Use Precinct in LSP 47.  Rather than a limited range of restricted uses linked to rural industry, the development now proposes a wide range of mainstream retail, medical, recreational and community facilities that make up what in effect would become an “activity centre”.

 

The tourist related uses which could perhaps be supported in that context would include such things as a micro brewery, chocolate factory, adventure park, iconic sculpture, café, restaurant, tavern, accommodation or sector specific uses such as arts/creative media centre or motor museum etc.  Such tourist related uses should perhaps only be supported in the context of an integrated tourism precinct and not simply by way of ad hoc additions to the present uses.

 

The combination of uses proposed in the amendment and the form of the proposed development are not considered to be appropriate as an “activity Centre’ at Drovers Place for the following reasons:

 

·                The site is highway-oriented and encourages access exclusively by motor vehicles.  The site is not well serviced by public transport or by walking and cycling access, considered to be critical for an activity centre;

·                The site and its surrounds are not suitable for extensive residential development or easily accessible by existing residences, a key requirement of an activity centre; and

·                The proposed development does not create a sense of place or community required by an activity centre, in that it is not being designed at a scale or with a fine grained form to encourage pedestrian interaction or function as a community focal point.

 

In effect, the proposed uses do not provide a net community benefit in terms of the sustainability requirements for activity centres of the Government’s Network City strategy and the direction of the new Wanneroo Centres Strategy. Furthermore, the large format of some of the proposed retail uses (e.g. discount liquor outlet, chemist) could be provided for within or adjacent to an existing activity centre in Wanneroo to enhance the opportunities for multi-purpose trips to centres.

 

The proposed uses in combination with existing development on the two sites also would have an adverse effect on existing and planned centres within the Wanneroo network.  They will undermine the economic performance of some centres, and limit the opportunities to establish particular types of new uses to strengthen and diversify existing and planned centres.  This applies particularly to the Carramar Neighbourhood Centre as well as the Banksia Grove and Wanneroo District Centres.  These centres are aiming to attract similar types of retail, medical, recreational or community uses that are proposed for Drovers Place.

 

The proposed uses also undermine the economic and cultural opportunities to provide special uses of municipal and regional significance at Drovers Place that also are of higher value.  This is due to the strategic location of the site at the junction of two major roads, and its proximity to Lake Joondalup.  The site could be used for more valuable tourist-related purposes that capture and enhance the distinctive ‘culture’ of Wanneroo as well as delivering economic value.  By contrast, the proposed uses represent a similar type of convenience retailing and services operation to many others provided in both the municipality and the region.”

 

While the above evaluation was done with reference to the uses as originally proposed by the applicant, it is considered to also be relevant to the uses as proposed under Amendment No. 1 to SP47, especially the showrooms use.

Additional Comment

Following the deferral of the decision by Council at its meeting held on 21 October 2008 to consider this matter further, Administration maintains the view that Amendment No. 1 to ASP 47 should not be adopted.  The Council may in its discretion decide otherwise.  In this regard, it is suggested that any support be only for additional uses that have been previously advertised.  In particular the issue of showrooms, previously supported by Administration and Council, might be considered. 


The introduction of any other uses may not be compatible with the objectives of ASP 47.  In addition, the introduction of other uses without public consultation is not recommended as to do so may have implications regarding due process.

 

The subject area has a long and often complicated history.  The question of appropriate uses is likely to continue to be debated and consideration to reviewing the structure plan or at least land uses, which may be suitable, may be warranted.  In this regard it may be appropriate to engage a consultant to independently undertake such a review.  Doing so, however, may not necessarily resolve land use issues as these may continue to be debated. 

 

For current purposes and for the reasons outlined in this report it is recommended that Amendment No 1 to ASP 47 not be adopted.

Recommendation

That Council:

1.       Pursuant to Clause 9.6.1 of District Planning Scheme No.2, REFUSES to adopt Amendment No. 1 to the Drovers Place Precinct Agreed Structure Plan No 47, as advertised and as outlined in Attachment 3 to this report, as it is considered inconsistent with the approach to out-of-centre development recommended in the draft Activity Centres Strategy/Local Planning Policy which has been adopted by Council for consultation, in the following respects:

a)      The proposed additional uses, especially showrooms, would increase the likelihood of this site taking on the role of an “activity centre”.  However this is not considered a suitable site for an activity centre because:

i)       the site is highway-oriented and encourages access exclusively by motor vehicles.  The site is not well serviced by public transport or by walking and cycling access, considered to be critical for an activity centre;

ii)      the site and its surrounds are not suitable for extensive residential development or easily accessible by existing residences, a key requirement of an activity centre;  and

iii)     the proposed development does not create a sense of place and community required by an activity centre, in that it is not being designed at a scale or with a fine-grained form to encourage pedestrian interaction or function as a community focal point;

b)      The proposed uses do not provide a net community benefit in terms of the sustainability requirements for activity centres proposed under the draft Activity Centres Strategy/Local Planning Policy.  Furthermore, the likely large format of some of the proposed uses (in particular the showrooms) could be provided for within or adjacent to an existing or proposed activity centre in Wanneroo to enhance the opportunities for multi-purpose trips to centres;

c)       The proposed uses in combination with existing development on the two sites would have an adverse effect on existing and planned centres within the Wanneroo network.  They will undermine the economic performance of some centres, and limit the opportunities to establish particular types of new uses to strengthen and diversify existing and planned centres.  This applies particularly to the Carramar Neighbourhood Centre as well as the Banksia Grove and Wanneroo District Centres;

d)      The proposed uses will be likely to undermine the economic and cultural opportunities to provide special uses of municipal and regional significance at Drovers Place that are of higher value.  This is due to the strategic location of the site at the junction of two major roads, and its proximity to Lake Joondalup.  The site could be used for more valuable tourist-related purposes that capture and enhance the distinctive ‘culture’ of Wanneroo as well as delivering economic value.  By contrast, the proposed uses represent a similar type of operation to many others provided in both the municipality and the region;  and

e)       The proposal is inconsistent with the City’s Centres Strategy Review;

2.       ENDORSES the comments made in this report regarding the submissions received, in response to the advertising of the amendment, for inclusion in the schedule of submissions to be forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission with a recommendation that the amendment be REFUSED;

3.       ADVISES the submittors of its decision;  and

4.       CONTINUES to work with the applicant towards incorporating uses, that Council considers may be better for this important site, through a full review of the Restricted Use and Tourism precincts of Structure Plan 47, a new amendment to incorporate the changes required to achieve this and the following uses are considered appropriate, but not limited to:

·                A micro brewery, chocolate factory, adventure park, iconic sculpture, café, restaurant, tavern, accommodation or sector specific uses such as arts/creative media centre or motor museum.

WANNEROO ACTIVITY CENTRES STRATEGY

 

 

10.     Approach to Out-of-Centre Development

 

 

10.1     Definition and Scope of Out-of-Centre Development

 

Out-of-centre development consists of ‘industrial estates’ or other employment areas that provide services primarily to business or industry. It also includes single purpose retail clusters such as a bulky goods cluster or homemaker centre, as well as a single purpose business park, medical, educational or community service facility.

 

The Discussion Paper highlights that, apart from the Wangara and Neerabup Industrial Estates, there is very limited out-of-centre development at present in the City of Wanneroo.   There is a small retail/commercial trades area at the Calabrese Triangle and a growers market and nursery at Drovers Place.  Most retail and commercial development is located within activity centres.

 

In the same way, there are few stand alone, single purpose medical, educational or community service facilities outside of centres.  These consist of the cluster of health-related services at the Wanneroo Professional Centre and at the Lake Goollelal Medical Centre.   Other facilities of this kind are located within or on the edge of activity centres.

 

There are no stand-alone commercial business parks in the municipality.

 

A key reason for the lack of major out-of-centre large format retail development and light industrial development is the extent of significant clusters of these operations to the south and east of the City of Wanneroo.   These include bulky goods and light industrial operations within or immediately to the south of the Joondalup Strategic Regional Centre, and at the Balcatta Industrial Area (south west corner of Reid Highway and Wanneroo Road) in the City of Stirling, at the Malaga Industrial Area (intersection of Alexander Drive and Beach Road) in the City of Swan, and Osborne Park Industrial Area (between the Mitchell Freeway and Ellen Stirling Boulevard) in the City of Stirling.

 

The result of these major developments located close to the City of Wanneroo is the lack to date of similar major bulky goods or other retail clusters in Wanneroo.  Wangara is the major exception.   It provides a significant amount of mainstream retailing activity including large fruit and vegetable operators at the Wangara Markets, as well as take-away outlets and other convenience retailing and craft stalls.  It also has a few bulky goods outlets but not the extent of major brands as exist in these other centres.

 


 

ATTACHMENT 4

Page 2 of 3

 

 
 

 

 


The developments in Wangara and Drovers Place primarily have been a response of larger format retailers requiring bigger floor areas and lower rents. 

 

Wangara also is becoming a commercial hub with an important mixture of higher profile businesses such as the ANZ regional headquarters.  It also has attracted leisure and recreational facilities such as a jungle gym and dance studio.

 

10.2     Problems of Out-of-Centre Development

 

Substantial portions of the Wangara Estate as well as Drovers Place are increasingly becoming destination shopping venues, offering a considerable range of merchandise at more competitive prices than can be offered by speciality stores in traditional centres. There are pressures to expand this further.

 

The current extent of retail and commercial development in these locations undermines efforts to achieve greater sustainability at established or proposed activity centres.  It encourages greater car use and generates more car trips. It makes it harder to provide through public transport equitable access to services and facilities. It does not contribute to a local sense of place in the way traditional centres can.  It diverts the activity necessary to sustain a thriving and diverse range of accessible services at existing retail/commercial centres. 

 

The Discussion Paper canvassed the importance of regulating or prohibiting future retail and commercial developments of the kind at Wangara and other out-of-centre locations such as Drovers Place. 

 

10.3     Strategies

 

The strategies to deal with out-of-centre developments are:

 

Retail and Commercial Development in Industrial Estates

 

·         Prohibit, in industrial estates, all retail and commercial uses except for small uses that are directly ancillary to the industrial use

·         Make specific provisions for, keep options open, and facilitate manufacturing and other industrial operations in the designated Wangara and Neerabup Industrial estates 


 

ATTACHMENT 4

Page 3 of 3

 
 

 


Bulky Goods and Other Large Format Retailing

 

·         Locate bulky goods and other large format retail uses within or on the edge of Strategic Regional, Regional and District Centres, but integrated effectively with the rest of the centre

·         Allocate sufficient land particularly in Strategic Regional and Regional Centres to accommodate the demand for large format retailing operations  

·         Designate specialised precincts on the periphery of these types of centres and provide design guidelines to encourage the clustering and integration of these uses within an attractive environment 

 

Business Parks

 

·         Prohibit single purpose business parks in stand alone locations

·         Locate commercial office-oriented business parks primarily within or on the edge of Strategic Regional, Regional and larger District Centres with good accessibility

·         Encourage a mixture of non-commercial uses (e.g., cafes, restaurants, shops, leisure facilities) in business parks, and/or the integration of commercial uses with other activities in all parts of these activity centres to prevent the segregation of this activity from the other functions of the centre

 

Mixed Business Areas

 

·         Remove stand alone “mixed business areas” from the suite of designated areas or zones outside of activity centres

·         Encourage the development of “mixed business areas” within or on the edge of Strategic Regional, Regional and District Centres

 

Other Retail or Commercial Developments

 

·         Evaluate the suitability and impact of other retail and commercial development proposals outside of centres (e.g., stand alone commercial tourist developments)

·         As part of this process, require developers to provide impact statements of the effects of the proposal on achieving net community benefit and sustainability outcomes

Issue

To consider a proposed front masonry fence with piers and wrought iron infill at Lot 34 (29) Bushland Retreat, Carramar.

 

Applicant

G A & N A Branson

Owner

G A & N A Branson

Location

Lot 34 (29) Bushland Retreat, Carramar

Site Area

10049m2

DPS 2 Zoning

Special Rural

Background

In September 2007 the City granted a building licence for the construction of a front fence of masonry construction with wrought iron infill between masonry piers at the subject site (refer Attachment 1). The maximum approved height of the brick piers was 1.8 metres as per the City’s specification for residential front fences. The applicant has partially constructed the fence but has not completed the work pending the outcome of Council’s decision on this matter.

 

The City having received a complaint from a neighbour regarding the fence, the applicant, as advised by the City, has sought the City’s approval of a variation to the provisions of the Private Property Local Law 2001, Third Schedule, where a sufficient fence on a Rural lot for the purposes of a dividing fence is a fence of posts and wire construction. As a result of the applicant’s query in relation to the approval status of other front fencing and entry statements in the area, an inspection has confirmed that there are a significant number, which have been constructed without approval.

Detail

The applicant has requested approval for the front fence as per the approved building licence. The total length of the fence is approximately 80.0 metres. It consists of 16, 1.8 metre high masonry piers. The piers are connected with 540mm high masonry riser panels and it is proposed to infill between piers with wrought iron panels.


Consultation

The City wrote to the adjoining landowners inviting comments on the proposal. The submission period closed on 22 September 2008 and one submission was received objecting to the proposal.

Comment

The submittor has objected to excessive height of the piers. In this regard the following matters are noted.

 

As per the provisions of the City’s Private Property Local Law 2001, a rural fence shall consist of posts and wires (refer Policy Implications section below).  However, the building licence was issued, taking into consideration the discretionary provisions of the Local law which permits other forms of fencing. The City having issued the building licence, it is recommended that approval for the subject proposal be granted considering the following matters.

 

1.       There are a number of properties in this area, which have had constructed entry statements and fencing comprising of masonry piers and varying panel infills including wire strand fencing, wrought iron and corrugated colourbond.

 

2.       There are approximately 57 properties involved, none of which have had building licences issued. It would be appropriate for the City to acknowledge the entry statements to the other properties in this area, under the discretionary provisions of the City’s Private Property Local Law.

Statutory Compliance

This proposal is determined under the Private Property Local Laws 2001, General Discretion of the Local Government 3.6 (1). The Local Government may approve the erection of a fence, which does not comply with the requirements of this law.

Strategic Implications

The proposal would satisfy the following Outcome Objective of the City’s Strategic Plan 2006-2021:

 

“1.5     Improve the physical quality of the built environment.”

Policy Implications

The City of Wanneroo’s Private Property Local Law 2001, in part, makes the following provisions in regard to the rural fencing:

 

“3.1     Dividing and boundary fences

 

Unless by agreement between the owners of adjoining properties, a person shall not:

 

(a)       erect, construct or alter a dividing or boundary fence on a lot that does not satisfy the requirements of a sufficient or permissible fence.

 

3.2       Sufficient fence

 

(1)        Subject to sub-clauses (2) and (3), a sufficient fence:

 

(c)        on a rural lot and on a special rural lot is a dividing fence or a boundary fence constructed and maintained in accordance with the specifications and requirements of the Third Schedule.

 

THIRD SCHEDULE

 

Specifications for a Sufficient Fence on a Rural Lot and Special Rural Lot

 

Subject to clause 5.2 relating to estate fences, a sufficient fence on a Rural Lot for the purpose of the Dividing Fences Act is a fence of posts and wire construction, the minimum specifications for which are:

 

(a)     wire shall be high tensile wire and not less than 2.5mm.  A minimum of five wires shall be used, these to be generally with the lower wires spaced closer together than the higher wires so as to prevent smaller stock passing through, and connected to posts in all cases, and threaded through 12mm holes in posts to all fences;

 

(b)     posts shall be of indigenous timber or other suitable material including timber impregnated with a termite and fungicidal preservative cut not less than 1.8m long x 100mm diameter at small end of round or 125mm x 60mm if split or sawn. Posts to be set minimum 600mm in the ground and 1.2m above the ground; and

 

(c)     strainer posts shall be not less than 2.25m long and 150mm diameter at the small end and shall be cut from indigenous timber or other suitable material.  These shall be placed a minimum of 1m in the ground.”

Issue

To consider a development application for the proposed Hocking Neighbourhood Centre.

 

Applicant

Taylor Robinson Architects

Owner

Ho Chan Unit Trust

Location

Lot 20 (176) Nicholas Road, Hocking

Site Area

1.98 Ha

DPS 2 Zoning

Urban Development

Background

The City approved application DA06/0172 for the construction of a shopping centre in May 2006.  The design was consistent with the Hocking Neighbourhood Centre Structure Plan No 42 (SP42) and provided ‘mainstreet’ frontage to the Gungurru Avenue, Wyatt Road and residential dwellings to Nicholas Road. The property has changed hands and the new owner has pursued an amendment to SP42 (Amendment 1) to facilitate the design of a centre suitable for a full line Woolworths supermarket. Planning application DA08/0344 (refer Attachments 1-4) has been submitted and generally reflects the variations identified in Amendment 1 to SP42, with the exception of building height to adjoining road reserves. Council approved Amendment 1 on 23 September 2008 (PD05-09/08), subject to a modification to the SP provisions that the commercial building façade should be a maximum of two storeys high (6 metres). Council also resolved that planning application DA08/0344 be presented to Council for determination.

Detail

As part of Council consideration of the proposed development application the applicant has also requested reconsideration under Part 9.12 of District Planning Scheme Number 2 (DPS2) of Council’s previous decision to impose a maximum commercial façade height of six metres. The applicant has indicated that this requirement would impede the centre’s ability to accommodate and effectively screen the plant and equipment associated with the centrally located supermarket and requested that the requirement be deleted or modified.

 

Application is made for planning approval to redesign the centre, consistent with SP 42 as amended (with the exception of commercial façade height) and other variations to DPS2 under Part 4 of the scheme for general development provisions such as car parking and landscaping.


Consultation

Following the receipt of DA08/0344 in April 2008, the City’s Smart Growth and Infrastructure Planning officers have had numerous meetings with the applicant.  During this time the design has been modified to resolve issues of concern to the officers.  It was then necessary for the applicant to apply for an amendment of SP 42 and this was advertised for public comment for a period of 28 days.  At the conclusion of public advertising five submissions were received and considered at the meeting on 23 September 2008 (PD05-09/08). Given the aforementioned, further consultation on the proposed development application in accordance with Part 6.7 of the scheme is not considered to be required.

Smart Growth Strategy

The proposal is consistent with Principle 5.2, the effective use of land and infrastructure for the benefit of the local area.  This is achieved by supporting commercial and residential developments that support community facilities, commercial facilities and public transport systems.

Comment

The proposal will provide for the daily shopping needs of the neighbourhood in a planned mixed use centre, which also includes an R40 residential component and provision for home and small business.  It is understood that the full-line Woolworths supermarket has been attracted to this site because Woolworths is not represented in the new Wanneroo Town Centre.

 

Amendment No 1 was presented to the meeting of Council on 23 September 2008 and was supported subject to a condition restricting the maximum commercial façade height to two storeys or 6 metres. The amendment will also require the approval of the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), prior to finalisation. Given the aforementioned resolution of Council, the applicant has requested Council to reconsider its decision under Part 9.12 of DPS 2 to impose a requirement that “the commercial building façade should be a maximum of two storeys high (6 metres) to create a well scaled street scape” and approve the development application, prior to the finalisation of the amendment. In this regard, the amendment documents (statutory document) have been prepared and are pending determination by the WAPC. In accordance with Part 9.8.1 of the scheme, an amendment will not come into operation until it is certified by the Commission and as such, it is necessary that any decision to reconsider the requirement and approve this development application should be premised by a requirement that proposed Amendment No. 1 (as modified) achieves certification by the WAPC, prior to any construction occurring on the site.

 

Fundamentally the amendment has removed the need for mainstreet frontage along the northern boundary of the subject site.  This is compensated for by the provision of a ‘landmark’ building across the north eastern corner, speciality shops fronting Wyatt Road and residential development fronting onto Nicholas Road. The proposed supermarket is either significantly set back from the road (Gungurru Avenue) and separated by carparking, low retaining, landscaping and speciality shops or reasonably screened from view at street level by the proposed speciality shops and residential town houses to Wyatt Road and Nicholas Road respectively, thereby reducing its impact.

Statutory Compliance

Retail Floor Space

 

The East Wanneroo Cell 4 SP depicts a maximum floor space of 4,250 m2 of Net Lettable Area (NLA) for retail purposes. Retail floorspace is usually defined using the WA Standard Land Use Classification (WASLUC). Uses such as banks, real estate agencies, medical practices and showrooms are not included. The application proposes 4,290 m2 of NLA, which could be used for retail purposes, however, it is likely that a number of the retail units will be used for real estate offices, banks and other non-retail uses and therefore exempt from the 4,250 m2 of NLA. On this basis, a condition restricting the maximum floor space of 4,250 m2 of NLA used for retail purposes should be included.

 

Building Height and Scale

 

The site has a fall of approximately 5 metres from the north east corner to the south western corner and the application proposes the cutting and filling of the land to accommodate the coordination of levels with the street and adjoining landholdings. As a result of the cutting and filling the development proposes to establish the residential land several metres below the commercial component, which is required to coordinate with adjacent roads.

 

A maximum building height of up to approximately 10 metres is identified (9.5 from natural ground level), however this is internal to the site and is not subject to the commercial building façade requirement. In this regard, the ten metre height only applies to the residential group dwellings located at the rear of the supermarket, adjacent to the central accessway. The height of the dwellings could be reduced, however, this would impact on the effective screening of the central supermarket. It should also be noted that there is a level difference of approximately 2.5 metres between the finished floor level of the supermarket (71 AHD) and the access lane (68.5 AHD average). As the dwelling height exceeds the Residential Design Codes, it is recommended that the City approve the variation in accordance with the Performance criteria of Part 6.7.1. to allow the dwellings to be increased in height from 7 metres (concealed roof) to 9.5 metres above natural ground level.

 

Reconsideration

 

Council’s previous resolution to modify amendment 1 to restrict the height of the commercial frontages to two storeys (six metres) constrains the applicant’s ability to effectively screen the central supermarket from the street. The central supermarket is approximately eight metres in height, which is typical of supermarket requirements for high ceiling, ventilation, ceiling service space and air-conditioning infrastructure. This application proposes building heights between 5.5 and 8 metres along Wyatt Road and approximately 7 metres for the residential component fronting Nicholas Road. The applicant has advised that parapet wall heights up to eight metres are necessary to hide plant and equipment on the roof of the supermarket building, particularly from the northern and eastern elevations. It should also be noted that the previous development approval for the site included building heights adjoining the public roads up to 9.0 metres along Wyatt Road, 9.0 metres along Gungurru and 7.0 metres for Nicholas Road, which is generally consistent or greater than the current proposal. Administration is generally supportive of the reconsideration of this requirement to delete or modify the façade height for the reasons stated, however recognising Councils previous interest in this matter the height restriction provision should be retained in a modified form to ensure a maximum height of eight metres rather than six.

 

Car Parking

 

Shopping Centre - In accordance with Part 4.14 and table 2 of the scheme a shopping centre requires the provision of 7 bays per 100 m2 of NLA, which has been applied to the entire 4,290 m2 of NLA identified on the plan for shop use. The requirement for car parking in this instance is 300 car bays.

 

Residential - The residential units are self contained for onsite car parking, however in accordance with Part 6.5.1 of the Residential Design Codes an additional ‘visitor’ car parking requirement applies at the rate of 1 additional bay per every 4 group dwellings. There are twenty nine dwellings, which equates to an additional 8 bays for visitor car parking associated with the group dwellings.

 

General Car Parking

 

The total car parking requirement under the scheme is 308 car bays to be provided on site in accordance with the design and construction requirements of the Australian Standards (excluding the car bays provided within the dwellings).

 

The applicant submitted a transport assessment report prepared by Uloth and Associates in support of the proposed reduction in parking. This has been based on analysis of a similar centre at Hillarys in the City of Joondalup, and submits that 5 bays/100sqm of nett lettable area (NLA) is an appropriate standard. Using this reduced car parking ratio, the provision of 223 car parking bays would be required. This figure includes 8 spaces for the residential and home office visitors. 

 

The applicant proposes 211 parking bays on site and 35 bays on street (total of 246 car bays). Construction of the street parking, by the owner/developer, has been requested to encourage the interaction between specialty shops and activate street frontages along Gungurru Avenue, Nicholas Road and Wyatt Road.

 

The centre promotes the interaction and activation of the adjoining streets through the orientation of specialty shops to Wyatt Road, residential to Nicholas Road and carparking embayment on all street frontages. The inclusion of on street embayments into the calculation for the provision of carparking overall is considered to be acceptable.

 

Overall the provision of carparking for commercial purposes equates to 5.5 bays per 100 m2 of NLA, plus eight additional bays for the residential visitor bays and is considered to be acceptable given the integration of residential development within the centre, good pedestrian and cyclist accessibility and public transport along Wyatt Road.

 

Landscaping

 

Part 4.17 of the scheme requires the provision of 8% landscaping, which is normally established within areas not approved for buildings, accessways, storage areas or car parking. Landscaping is normally required to screen car parking and storage areas from the adjacent street systems and to improve the visual appeal of the development from the street.


In this instance the development promotes reduced setbacks to Wyatt Road and Nicholas Road to promote interaction at a pedestrian scale between road reserves, shop fronts and group dwellings, and as such, the establishment of a landscaping strip is not required along these roads.

 

The applicant has indicated that the Gungurru Avenue frontage will be landscaped within the site and the road reserve and shade trees will be provided within the carparking area at a rate of one for every four bays. Other verge areas will be grassed, reticulated and maintained by the owner in perpetuity. Whilst the development does not meet the 8% landscaping over the site, the extent of landscaping is considered to be adequate to improve the visual appeal of the development from the street and the standard of amenity for those using the development. Landscaping will be provided within carparking areas, adjacent to the landmark site and in strategic positions within the centre. It is also noted that the residential development along Nicholas Road will provide additional landscaping and screening of the centre through the landscaping of the (private) front setback area. A condition will be imposed requiring detailed landscaping plans to be submitted to the City for approval prior to construction occurring on the site. In particular, details of the landscaping along the Gungurru road frontage will be required to minimise any adverse impacts on the residents located opposite the centre.

 

Building Orientation

 

It should be noted that the proposed development maintains a reduced setback to Wyatt Road and Nicholas Road to promote interaction between the street and the building at a pedestrian scale and further promotes good orientation of residential buildings that are internal to the site and front the private access street in a manner that will promote good interaction and surveillance at the rear of the centre. The commercial façade to Wyatt Road is located below the road level and therefore there are some difficulties in facilitating a good pedestrian/shop front interaction. The applicant has indicated some retaining and ramping of the footpaths to coordinate levels, however further consideration of the ultimate levels should be given to ensure an improved coordination of levels and commercial/pedestrian interface. A condition should be imposed requiring the finished levels and treatment of the Wyatt Road commercial interface to be revised to promote an improved relationship to the satisfaction of the Manager, Planning Services.

Strategic Implications

The proposed redesign of the Hocking Neighbourhood Centre will be consistent with SP 42 as amended.  It will also be consistent with Outcome Objective 2.1 of the City’s Strategic Plan 2006-2021, namely to -“Increase choice and quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options.”

Policy Implications

The proposal is not consistent with the Centres Strategy, which promotes mainstreet principles.  However, SP42 no longer requires ad hoc mainstreet frontage, and compensates for this through a landmark building.  The proposal is consistent with the policy, in so far as the new design is attempting a viable mixed use development in an attractive centre that will provide a community focus.

Issue

To consider an application for a rural shed and associated rural industry at Lot 52 (5) Hawkins Road, Wanneroo.

 

Applicant

Peter D Webb and Associates

Owner

TI Dragon Management Pty Ltd

Location

Lot 52 (5) Hawkins Road, Wanneroo

Site Area

1.8197 Hectares

DPS 2 Zoning

Rural Resource

Background

The location of Lot 52 is shown on Attachment 1. The application is for a rural industry, which includes the processing, packing and transportation of strawberries from a steel clad building of approximately 1000sqm with an incidental masonry office. Lot 52 is situated amongst other lots used for rural purposes, and currently has a single house erected on the site, surrounded by significant tracts of natural vegetation.

Detail

The application proposes a rural industry development (refer Attachment 2). The development consists of a proposed 36m x 30m colorbond and zincalume steel shed to be located toward the south-eastern corner of the subject property. The intended use of the shed would be to store and package strawberries produced in the Wanneroo area, and despatch these strawberries to local and interstate markets. In association with the shed, the applicant has also proposed a 65sqm incidental office as depicted on the plans found in Attachment 2. Additional information concerning the nature of the development and the operation of the rural industry is detailed below.

 

Setbacks

 

As the site is located in a Rural Resource Zone, a front setback of 7.5m and a side and rear setback of 4.0m is required under the provisions of the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2. The setbacks of the development satisfy the setback provisions of the Scheme as detailed in the table below.

 

 

Required Setback

Proposed Setback

Setback – Front

7.5m

16.0m

Setback – Rear

4.0m

39.0m

Setback – Side (north)

4.0m

50.0m

Setback – Side (south)

4.0m

20.0m

 

Road Widening

 

The City’s Infrastructure Services has plans to widen Hawkins Road and acquire portions of the properties abutting Hawkins Road to undertake these works. The City at some point may need to acquire a significant portion of the subject property in the vicinity to the location of the proposed shed for road widening works. The portion of the subject property that may need to be acquired is depicted in Attachment 3. To facilitate the acquisition, it is recommended that the City impose a condition that the land required for the widening of Hawkins Road as depicted in attached 3, be set aside as a separate lot pending acquisition.

 

As a result, consideration of the setbacks from the front boundary would need to include the result of any land acquisition and any modifications to Hawkins Road alignment and road reserve.

 

Operating Hours

 

The 12 packing staff will be required to work between the hours of 9:00am until 9:00pm. The Warehouse Manager/Skeleton staff will be required to work between the hours of 9:00am to 11:00pm. However, trucks may arrive before 9:00am to transport goods to and from the site.

 

Vehicle Movement

 

Access into the site will be restricted between the hours of 11:00pm and 6:00am. The site will be open for contract vehicles to enter the site from 7:30am, with the general staff arriving before 9:00am.

 

The vehicular access and movement of truck traffic out of and into the site would vary in accordance to the season. In the off-season (late December to early July), there will be minimal movement of vehicles entering and exiting the site. During the early part (July to September) and the latter part (November to December) of the season, the applicant expects that one large truck and four medium-sized trucks will frequent the site daily. In the peak of the season (October), the applicant expects two large trucks and six medium-sized trucks to frequent the site daily. Approximately 40% of the truck traffic will occur between 7:00am and 1:00pm and 60% between 1:00pm and 11:00pm (majority of truck movement in this time will be around sunset).

 

Car Parking

 

The car parking requirements for the proposed use have been assessed using the parking requirements listed in Table 2 of the District Planning Scheme No. 2. As the proposed development contains a shed and an incidental office, car parking has been assessed on the floor areas of these two components, with the results tabled below-

 

Bays Required – Shed Component

1 per 50sqm GFA

21.6 bays required

Bays Required – Office Component

1 per 30sqm NLA

2.2 bays required

Total Bays Required

-

23.8 (24) bays required

 

As the applicant has proposed twelve permanent parking bays, there is a shortfall of twelve permanent car-parking bays on the site. The applicant has proposed a large hardstand area adjacent to the proposed car parking area, which is capable of accommodating the additional twelve car parking spaces. A condition can be imposed to address this issue.

Consultation

The proposal was advertised with a letter sent to seven of the closest adjoining landowners. At the conclusion of the public consultation period, the City had received two comments of objection to the proposal. The issues raised in the objections were related to the disruption of dogs within a kennel located on an adjacent property, and also concerns relating to noise and traffic impacts. A response to the issues by administration has been provided as per the following.

 

Kennels

 

Both the objectors raised concerns about the potential activity that could occur from the site disturbing the dogs that occupy the kennel.

 

Response:

 

Any argument centered on land use conflicts in this instance is unjustified as both the uses of ‘kennel’ and ‘Industry – Rural’ are suitable in the Rural Resource Zone. The individual operators of both the rural industry development and the kennel are responsible for complying with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997.

 

These objections are noted.

 

Traffic Impacts:

 

One objector raised their concerns on the increase of traffic on the portion of road between the Hawkins Road-Ross Road-Badgerup Road intersection and the Hawkins Road-Trichet Road intersection.

 

Response:

 

The applicant has stated that up to twelve staff will be working from the site during the strawberry produce season. This would result in twenty trips per day using Hawkins Road adjacent to the property. In addition, up to eight trucks are anticipated to enter and exit the site per day in the peak of the produce season. The trucks therefore would generate 16 trips per day using Hawkins Road adjacent to the property. The expected increase of vehicles using Hawkins Road between the intersections of Hawkins Road-Ross Road-Badgerup Road intersection and the Hawkins Road-Trichet Road intersection is considered to be within the capacity of the local road system.

 

This objection is not supported.

 

Potential Noise from Operations:

 

One objector raised their concerns on the noise and disturbances generated from the site, especially at night.

 

Response:

 

To minimise noise, the shed walls and the inside ceiling will be constructed using colorbond sandwich coolroom panels. This form of construction significantly reduces the emission of noise, providing that all the doors remain closed.

 

As the building is airtight, only electric powered forklifts can be used within the confines of the proposed building, which generally produce less noise than petrol or gas-driven forklifts. As the forklifts will operate in designated forklift areas, there is also no requirement for reversing beepers on forklift trucks to function on the premises.

 

To limit the impact of noise from the site disrupting the adjoining owners, the applicant has also proposed to limit vehicle movements late at night and early in the morning. The proposed shed also contains a sealed loading dock to minimise noise resulting from the loading and unloading of trucks.

 

The comments in regard to the potential noise impacts have been considered by administration. In an attempt to resolve the issue of noise, conditions of approval could be imposed to ensure that noise levels are in accordance with the Noise Regulations and that operational noise such as reverse beeping is minimised where possible. As the applicant has not responded to the City’s requests to clarify the intended truck movements in the late evenings a condition of planning approval can be imposed limiting truck movements to between 6.00am and 8:00pm.

 

The objection is noted.

Comment

The proposed use is a ‘permitted use’ under the provisions of District Planning Scheme Number 2. The concerns raised during the consultation period can be reasonably addressed through conditions of the approval. The future road widening of Hawkins Road can be accommodated within the required setback area, however the building should be setback further to ensure the necessary setbacks and landscape buffer can be accommodated. In this regard, a minimum setback of 7.5 metres from the road widening should be required as landscape buffer within the front setback.

Smart Growth Strategy

Consideration of this proposal is consistent with Principle 5 of the City’s Smart Growth Strategy – Long Term Economic Health, which supports opportunities that enhance industry growth and promote job creation within the City of Wanneroo region.

Statutory Compliance

The application has been processed in accordance with the provisions of the City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2. The subject lot is zoned ‘Rural Resource’ under the District Planning Scheme No. 2.

 


The District Planning Scheme No. 2 lists and defines use classes, as well as their permissibility in each zone. From the details provided by the applicant, Administration has determined that the use class of the proposed shed and its incidental development as ‘Industry – Rural’ as defined in the Scheme. In the Rural Resource Zone, the use class of ‘Industry – Rural’ is a ‘P’ or permitted use in that zone. The application therefore cannot be refused solely by the view the proposal is unsuitable. However with Council’s discretion, conditions of planning approval can be imposed for development that is permitted.

Strategic Implications

The proposal satisfies the following outcome objective of the City’s Strategic Plan for 2006-2021:

 

“3.4     Improve the viability and profile of rural industry.”

Issue

To consider Development Applications determined by Administration between 1 October 2008 and 31 October 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 1 October 2008 and 31 October 2008, acting under Delegated Authority from Council are included in Attachment 1.

Consultation

Nil

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.

 

Determination of applications under delegated authority satisfies Outcome Objective 4.4 of the City’s Strategic Plan to “Improve business performance and the quality of service delivery.”

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.

Voting Requirements

Simple Majority.

Issue

To consider determination of subdivision applications processed between 1 October 2008 and 31 October 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 between 1 October 2008 and 31 October 2008.

Issue

To consider a variation to the provisions of the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) in respect to a proposed single house on Lot 204 (28A) Clarecastle Retreat, Mindarie.

 

Applicant

Steve Pazin

Owner

Stephen & Joan Britten

Location

28A Clarecastle Retreat, Mindarie

Site Area

409m2

DPS 2 Zoning

Residential

Background

The subject property is located approximately 275 metres south of the intersection of Rosslare Promenade, Mindarie (refer to Location Plan, Attachment 1).  A Codes Variation application was submitted to the City for a variation to the existing single house (two storey) on the subject property (refer to Floor Plans Attachment 2 and Elevations, Attachment 3) for the deletion of privacy screens to the ground floor terrace and first floor balcony.

 

Previously variations were sought for:

 

1.       Front setback reduced from 6.00 metres to 4.20 metres;

 

2.       Upper floor setback to the south east side reduced from 2.30 metres to 1.50 metres;

 

3.       Upper floor setback north west side reduced from 2.30 metres to 1.90 metres;

 

4.       Wall height to the front of the building increased from 6.00 metres to 7.20 metres;

 

5.       Cone of Vision to Bedroom 1 window reduced from 4.50 metres to 4.20 metres; and

 

6.       Cone of Vision to Living room window reduced from 6.00 metres to 4.20 metres.

 

These variations were supported by Council at a meeting on 10 October 2006 however these variations did not include the deletion of screens to the ground floor terrace and first floor balcony, the subject of this report.

Detail

The applicant proposes the following variations to the acceptable development standards of the R-Codes:

 

·         Ground floor cone of vision privacy encroachment into adjoining property to the North West (setback of terrace 2.016 metres in lieu of 7.50 metres); and

 

·         First floor cone of vision privacy encroachment into adjoining property to the North West (setback of balcony 3.416 metres in lieu of 7.50 metres).

 

The lot is zoned ‘Residential’ under District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS2) with a density code of R20.  The use class “Single House” is a permitted (P) use in this zone.

Consultation

The City requested written comments from the affected adjoining owner and a submission has been received.  The adjoining owner to the North West has objected to the proposed cone of vision encroachment.

Comment

Response to the Submission

The reasons for the objection and Administration’s response to this objection is detailed below:

 

Issue – Ground & first floor cone of vision privacy encroachment into adjoining property

 

Response

 

The ground floor terrace is setback 4.60 metres from the front boundary and 2.016 metres from the side boundary. The length and height of the terrace complies with the acceptable development standards of Clause 6.3.1 of the R-Codes that requires the minimum front setback to be 3.00 metres and the minimum side setback of the terrace to be 2.00 metres.

 

The upper floor balcony is setback 4.80 metres from the front boundary and 3.416 metres from the side boundary. The length and height of the balcony complies with the acceptable development standards of Clause 6.3.1 of the R-Codes that requires the minimum front setback to be 3.00 metres and the minimum side setback of the balcony to be 3.50 metres.

 

The applicant has provided written justification for the variation and supporting photographs of similar stating that the proposed open balconies will not have any significant effect on the adjoining property.

 

The application for the variation has been assessed against the relevant objectives and associated performance criteria of Clause 6.8.1 as follows:

 


“Objective: 

 

To site and design buildings to meet projected user requirements for visual privacy and to minimise the impact of development on the visual privacy of adjoining residents in their dwellings and private open space.

 

Performance Criteria: 

 

Direct overlooking of active habitable spaces and outdoor living areas of other dwellings is minimised by building layout, location and design of major openings and outdoor active habitable spaces, screening devices and landscape, or remoteness.

 

Effective location of major openings and outdoor active habitable spaces to avoid overlooking is preferred to the use of screening devices or obscured glass.

 

Where these are used, they should be integrated with the building design and have minimal impact on residents or ’neighbours’ amenity.

 

Where opposite windows are offset from the edge of one window to the edge of another another, the distance of the offset should be sufficient to limit views into adjacent windows.”

 

The acceptable criteria for privacy from a terrace or balcony is 7.50 metres.  The terrace is setback 2.016 metres.  The first floor balcony is setback at 3.416 metres.  The severity of a privacy encroachment is determined by the area being overlooked, which in this instance relates to a front garden area of the adjoining property, which is publicly visible from the road.  The property is setback further from the front boundary than the subject lot (refer Attachment 4).  As such, the ground floor terrace and first floor balcony will abut the front garden of the adjoining property and will not overlook active habitable spaces and outdoor living areas.

 

The proposed variation is considered to meet the objectives and performance criteria as outlined above.

 

Recommendation

 

That the codes variation be supported.

 

Other Issues

 

Nil.

General Comment

In considering the matters discussed above, the following variations are supported:

 

·                Ground floor cone of vision privacy encroachment into adjoining property to the North

(setback of terrace 2.016m in lieu of 7.5m required); and

·                First floor cone of vision privacy encroachment into adjoining property to the North (setback of balcony 3.416m in lieu of 7.5m required).

Statutory Compliance

The application has been processed in accordance with the requirements of the DPS2.

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”

StartStrip - This line will not be printed Please do NOT delete

Issue

To consider a proposal from the Department of Environment and Conservation to partner with the City of Wanneroo and the City of Joondalup to undertake midge management at Lake Goollelal for the current midge season.

Background

Midges are small non-biting insects that tend to breed in urban wetlands that have high nutrient levels.  Unlike mosquitoes, they do not transmit diseases, but are a nuisance to adjacent residential areas due to their large swarms around dusk, and their attraction to lights. 

 

Since July 2000, formal partnership agreements have been formed with the Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup, together with the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC), to appropriately manage nuisance midge at Lake Joondalup.  The main objective of the current 2005-2010 Midge Management Strategy Partnership Agreement is to control and manage seasonal midge plagues through funding of larval and water monitoring, carrying out necessary treatments when required, facilitate research projects and initiate public education programs.  The budget of the agreement consists of an annual total of $205,000 – with the DEC contributing up to 50% of those funds, and each local government contributing up to 25% of the funds. 

 

It should be noted that the City of Wanneroo/City of Joondalup local government boundary runs through Lake Joondalup.  The lake is also managed by the Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup and the DEC, under Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003-2013.

 

Lake Goollelal, being the subject of this report, is located south of Lake Joondalup (refer to map in Attachment 3) and is located within the municipality of the City of Joondalup.  The City of Wanneroo does not have any responsibility over the management of the lake.  Lake Goollelal is owned freehold by the West Australian Planning Commission who have delegated management of the lake to Department of Environment and Conservation.

Detail

A strong focus of the partnership agreement relating to Lake Joondalup has been to facilitate research in providing for a better understanding of the factors contributing to the seasonal midge plagues within Lake Joondalup, evaluating alternate intervention strategies for control of midge and an understanding of the nutrient contributors within the catchment.   Being a five year partnership, a clear outcome is to investigate and possibly implement long-term strategies for Lake Joondalup.

 

The proposal by the DEC, however, seeks to monitor midge numbers at Lake Goollelal for the purpose of considering treatment, for the coming summer.   It does not consider longer term approaches to the midge management at the lake, nor does it take into consideration any previous or future research projects. 

 

The City has approximately eleven (11) major natural lakes, in addition to numerous wetlands, that are within its municipality.  Some of these water systems have the potential to have significant breeding of midge, along with other insects, that may impact adjacent residential areas and require management programs to be undertaken by the City. 

 

The DEC propose that the following be put in place over the coming summer for the management of midge at Lake Goollelal:

 

1.       Monitoring for midge larvae once (1) per month or as required (given calls from local residents) across 10 established sampling locations. Monitoring would occur between September and March;

 

2.       Each partner agency to provide one (1) staff member to conduct monitoring for half a day each month;

 

3.       The City of Wanneroo to provide their small dinghy to act as a platform from which to collect samples;

 

4.       The City of Joondalup to process samples and to provide results to partner agencies on a monthly basis;

 

5.       All partner agencies to keep a register of complaints relating to midge swarms, inclusive of complainants address;

 

6.       All partner agencies to conduct adult swarm surveys to provide information to support monitoring data and correlation to complaints. This sampling will be undertaken opportunistically if swarms develop and will rely on partner agencies maintaining communication channels over the March to September period; and

 

7.       DEC to fund and coordinate up to 2 chemical treatments over the summer of 2008/09 dependent on midge sampling outcomes.

 

The proposal has been triggered by the unusually large number of nuisance midge that were breeding at Lake Goollelal last season.  City of Wanneroo residents, particularly those living in Madeley, were affected by the large midge swarms.  During this time, the City of Joondalup were contacted by the DEC for assistance with the matter.  It is understood that one chemical treatment of the lake was carried out in December 2007.

 

The City was subsequently contacted by the City of Joondalup at the request of the DEC around June 2008 to arrange for a meeting to discuss the management of midge at Lake Goollelal.  A meeting was held on 22 July 2008 were the DEC was requested to put in a formal proposal to both Cities.  Details of the proposal were received on 23 September 2008 (refer Attachment 2) and 8 October 2008 (refer Attachment 1).

 


Whilst a catchment approach to the overall management of Yellagonga Regional Park is supported, it is equally essential that adequate planning is carried out to ensure responsible and sustainable management.  As such, to simply put a short term plan, where the intent is to carry out a short term solution, is not only inadequate but also inappropriate.

Comment

A number of matters need to be taken into account in considering the DEC’s proposal.  Whilst Administration recognises that a catchment approach to nuisance midge has merit, the impact on staff resources will be significant.  The City’s Health section, which undertakes midge monitoring at Lake Joondalup, currently has a significant workload.  To further deviate staff resourcing to an area that had been un-planned and un-budgeted for, would be strenuous.  It would also detract resources being allocated to other programs, such as mosquito monitoring, which could have a public health impact on the community. 

 

In accordance with the 2005-2010 Midge Management Strategy Partnership Agreement for Lake Joondalup, the City has already committed to funds of $51, 250 per annum.  The use of these funds is specific and must meet the overall objectives of the agreement.  The funds may not be used for any other purpose, including midge management at Lake Goollelal. 

 

As the DEC did not approach the City with a formal request to establish a partnership to manage midge at Lake Goollelal until September 2008, suitable funding has not been allocated in the current 2008/09 Annual Budget.

 

In response to the DEC’s proposal, comment is made as follows:

 

1.       Monitoring for midge larvae once (1) per month or as required (given calls from local residents) across 10 established sampling locations. Monitoring would occur between September and March.

 

It is unrealistic to assume that monthly sampling is sufficient to make a considered decision to chemically treat the lake with larvicide.  The current arrangements at Lake Joondalup involves weekly monitoring – at times, some sites are sampled more frequently.

 

2.       Each partner agency to provide one (1) staff member to conduct monitoring for half a day each month.

 

Monitoring for midge requires more than simply attending the lake and taking samples.  Preparation of calcium chloride and maintenance of equipment adds considerable time to monitoring.  If it is estimated that half a day is sufficient for monitoring, then a further half day should be added to take into account these other aspects.

 

3.       The City of Wanneroo to provide their small dinghy to act as a platform from which to collect samples.

 

There is no objection to using the City’s boat, however, it needs to be ascertained if the DEC will provide a person who holds a skippers ticket to drive the boat and whether they will ensure it is fuelled before use, cleaned after use, and whether they will contribute to any maintenance costs.

 

4.       The City of Joondalup to process samples and to provide results to partner agencies on a monthly basis.

 

No objection is made if the City of Joondalup is willing to undertake such a task.

 

5.       All partner agencies to keep a register of complaints relating to midge swarms, inclusive of complainants address.

 

No objection is made as this is current practice by the City.  However, complainants will need to be advised that their details will be given to a third party.

 

6.       All partner agencies to conduct adult swarm surveys to provide information to support monitoring data and correlation to complaints. This sampling will be undertaken opportunistically if swarms develop and will rely on partner agencies maintain communication channels over the March to September period.

 

It is assumed that the DEC meant to define the period as being September to March as this is during the midge season.  As detailed above, adult midge surveys must be taken at dusk.  During daylight saving times, sunset is around 8pm – to require further surveys to be undertaken by City staff is cumbersome and inconvenient during evenings.  As such, the DEC should be responsible for all adult midge surveys undertaken.

 

7.       DEC to fund and coordinate up to 2 chemical treatments over the summer of 2008/09 dependent on midge sampling outcomes.

 

No objection is made, however, the DEC should be encouraged to look at longer term strategies and the use on non-chemical treatment of the lake.

 

It is proposed that the City does not participate in monitoring the midge population at Lake Goollelal this season, but that the matter be re-considered if the DEC propose a long term management program that does not solely focus on chemical treatment of the lake.  This would be consistent with the overall objectives of the Yellagonga Integrated Management Plan.  Furthermore, there is no objection to the DEC borrowing the City’s equipment, including use of the boat, which has already occurred in October 2008.

Statutory Compliance

There is no statutory requirement for the City to carry out midge management programs at either Lake Goollelal or any other lake within or adjacent to the City.  Lake Goollelal is also located within the municipality of the City of Joondalup.

Strategic Implications

The proposal is in line with the following Outcome Objectives of the City’s Strategic Plan for 2006 to 2021.

 

“1.4     Minimise impact of development on natural landform and “1.6 minimise the incidence and impact of pollution.”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The proposal has not been budgeted as the City did not receive any formal request by the Department of Environment and Conservation prior to July 2008. 

Voting Requirements

Simple Majority.

Recommendation

That Council:-

1.       REQUESTS the Department of Environment and Conservation further investigate long term strategies for the management of nuisance midge at Lake Goollelal;

2.       REQUESTS the Department of Environment and Conservation to provide a costed proposal for consideration prior to 31 March 2009 so that it can be considered with Council’s budget deliberations for 2009/2010; and

3.       SUPPORTS the continuation of administration’s current practice to lend its equipment and plant (including a boat) to the DEC and/or City of Joondalup to allow them to undertake midge sampling at Lake Goollelal.  The lending of such equipment and plant would be subject to conditions relating to maintenance and fuelling, as determined by administration.

Hi Suha

 

As discussed please find attached a proposal for consideration and endorsement by the Council from the Department of Environment and Conservation in relation to management of midge at Lake Goolellal, Yellagonga Regional Park.

 

The letter sent to the City of Wanneroo on 22 September 2008 outlined the moral, ethical and legislative reasons for the City to be involved in management of midge at Lake Goolellal as well as the community perception of the local residents.  In addition to this the attached proposal outlines the cost and resource considerations for Council.   

 

Could you please confirm whether the proposal will be able to be assessed at the Council meeting on 21 October 2008?  Given DEC and the City of Joondalup are currently receiving calls from local residents in the area, and midge swarms have been documented in the field, DEC requests that the City give the proposal due consideration as soon as is practicable.  The endorsement of the proposal by both City councils will enable DEC to determine the current levels of midge larvae in the Lake and to coordinate a treatment.  The proposal is a significant step forward in management of this issue by all agencies and would indicate a commitment to collaborative and efficient management of catchment wide issues

 

I look forward to your response.  If you have any further queries regarding the proposal or require further information please contact me on 9431 6500.

Issue

To obtain City of Wanneroo support for midge management at Lake Goolellal in partnership with City of Joondalup and the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC).

 

Background

Residential development in the City of Wanneroo and City of Joondalup is increasing rapidly resulting in changes to drainage patterns and increased nutrient run-off into Lake Joondalup and Lake Goolellal within Yellagonga Regional Park. Nutrient enrichment and eutrophication is likely to have contributed to high numbers of midge becoming prevalent over the early summer period as the lake waters begin to recede. In response to this risk the City of Wanneroo, City of Joondalup and DEC developed the Midge Management Strategy Partnership Agreement 2005-2010 to encourage an effective and sustainable partnership for the purpose of managing nuisance midge within Lake Joondalup. The agreement focuses on improving cooperation, communication and collaboration to enhance sustainable social, environmental and economic outcomes for the management of nuisance midge. To date this partnership has worked effectively and midge swarms in the City of Wanneroo and City of Joondalup emanating from Lake Joondalup have been kept under control.

 

However, in the summer of 2007/08 midge swarms developed at Lake Goolellal to the immediate south of Lake Joondalup and there were a high number of complaints from nearby residents of both the City of Wanneroo and the City of Joondalup.

 

Detail

In order to have a process for management of midge in place prior to summer 2008 a meeting was organised to discuss management measures for Lake Goolellal for this coming summer. Representatives from the City of Wanneroo, City of Joondalup and DEC met on 22 July 2008 to collectively discuss the issue and formulate a way forward. As a result of this meeting DEC formulated the rationale for a coordinated approach to management by all parties and sent this to the City of Wanneroo and City of Joondalup on 22 September 2008.  In addition, DEC has formulated a proposal that identified cost and resource implications for collaborative management of the midge population.

 

It has been proposed by DEC that the following strategy be put in place for Lake Goolellal over the coming summer to manage the risk of midge swarms impacting nearby residential areas.

1.             Monitoring for midge larvae once (1) per month or as required (given calls from local residents) across 10 established sampling locations. Monitoring would occur between September and March.

2.             Each partner agency to provide one (1) staff member to conduct monitoring for half a day each month.

3.             The City of Wanneroo to provide their small dinghy to act as a platform from which to collect samples.

4.             The City of Joondalup to process samples and to provide results to partner agencies on a monthly basis.

5.             All partner agencies to keep a register of complaints relating to midge swarms, inclusive of complainants address.

6.             All partner agencies to conduct adult swarm surveys to provide information to support monitoring data and correlation to complaints. This sampling will be undertaken opportunistically if swarms develop and will rely on partner agencies maintain communication channels over the March to September period.

7.             DEC to fund and coordinate up to 2 chemical treatments over the summer of 2008/09 dependent on midge sampling outcomes.

 

Comment

 

Statutory Compliance

There is no statutory basis for City of Wanneroo to be involved in the management of midge at Lake Goolellal as the lake lies within the City of Joondalup. However, the close proximity of residential homes within the City of Wanneroo between Whitfords Avenue and Hepburn Avenue results in the City of Wanneroo carrying some responsibility on behalf of residents to manage the risk of midge swarms.

 

Strategic Implications

Historically lands surrounding the Yellagonga Regional Park were used for market gardens and horse agistment.  The land is now almost completely residential resulting in substantial changes to drainage patterns and nutrient input to Lake Joondalup and Lake Goolellal.

 

In recognition of the challenges associated with urban development, the City of Wanneroo commissioned a drainage study in 1994 that identified stormwater outlets and associated problems. Following this the City endorsed initiatives of an integrated catchment approach and is presently working collaboratively with the Yellagonga Catchment Group and the City of Joondalup on catchment management relating to the wetlands within the Yellagonga Regional Park. Results from the 2007 Community Workshop for the Yellagonga Integrated Catchment Management Planning Project indicated that the social and ecological values of the Yellagonga Regional Park are highly regarded. Participants acknowledged the uniqueness of the park, its importance to the quality of life in the urban catchment, its aesthetic values; the variety of

recreational opportunities it provides and its value in providing a sense of place. In addition, there was strong indication by the community that catchment management is the joint responsibility of the City of Joondalup, City of Wanneroo and DEC.

 

Policy Implications

 

Financial Implications

DEC has committed to carrying the up-front costs associated with midge control (approximately $8000 - $9000 per annum for chemical treatment) and is seeking the support of City of Wanneroo to assist with monitoring and collection of samples as per the strategy presented above.

 

There are no direct financial implications for the City of Wanneroo.

 

Voting Requirements

Simple majority

 

Midge Management at Lake Goolellal Recommendation

 

That Council endorse the strategy for midge management at Lake Goolellal, inclusive of allocation of staff resources for sampling and monitoring.

Background

At its meeting held on 07 June 2005, Council considered a report (Item TS 07-06/05 refers) and adopted the following resolutions:

 

“That Council:-

 

1.       NOTES that Stage 1 of the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex Redevelopment Project has been completed with the presentation of the Preliminary Design documentation by GHD Pty Ltd (Contract No. 04355), with probable estimate of costs verified by WT Partnership Australia Pty Ltd (Contract No. 04381) in accordance with their contractual obligations.

 

2.       LISTS the probable estimate of costs arising from six staged/seven financial year scenario for the of the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex Redevelopment Project in the City’s Capital Works Program as follows (figures rounded up to the nearest ten thousand dollars for expediency):

4.       REQUESTS Administration to confirm the regional status of the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex with the State Government Department of Sport and Recreation.

 

5.       REQUESTS Administration to develop a strategy with regard to attracting funding by way  of contribution from State Government, through project direct submissions for funding from the Community Sport and Recreation Facilities Fund, possible direct contributions from user group clubs utilising the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex and private sponsorship, and report to Council for consideration thereof on an as soon as practicable basis.

 

6.       REQUESTS Administration to review financing options in relation to the probable estimate of costs associated with the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex Redevelopment Project, reviewing the options determined against both the six staged/seven financial year and four staged/four financial year scenarios promoted in the Preliminary Design documentation for the Project, and report to Council for consideration thereof on an as soon as practicable basis.

Issue

To consider Petition PT02-10/08 expressing support for the extension of Neerabup Road, Clarkson from Connolly Drive to Wanneroo Road.

Background

A petition signed by 71 petitioners expressing their support for Neerabup Road being extended east from Connolly Drive to Wanneroo Road was received by Council at its meeting of 21 October 2008.

 

The petitioners expressed the belief that the extension will reduce traffic volumes on Hester Avenue, thereby addressing road safety concerns at the intersection with Wanneroo Road and that the extension will provide direct access to the Meridian Park Industrial estate in Neerabup, facilitating further economic development in the region.

 

To effect those beliefs the petition calls upon the Council to:

“1.    Initiate community consultation with key stakeholders, including Main Roads WA to progress the design and construction of the road extension and associated overpass over the railway, and future Mitchell freeway corridor.

2.    Lobby the State and Federal Government for a specific funding commitment and timeframe for the construction of the road extension.”

 

A location map showing the area of interest is shown in Attachment 1.

Detail

The petition in effect supports the WA State Election – Advocacy Plan (CE04-07/08 refers) adopted by Council at its 29 July 2008 meeting.  At that meeting Council resolved:

 

“That Council:-

1.        ADOPT the Advocacy Plan as the lobbying and advocacy tool leading up to the next WA State Election;

2.        ENDORSE Administration, through the Acting Chief Executive Officer, to write to both major State political parties seeking their commitment and support to the strategic projects put forward in the Advocacy Plan; and


3.        ENDORSE the advocacy and lobbying of representatives of both major political parties, departmental heads and relevant government agencies by elected members and Administration senior officers in communications leading up to the next WA State Election.”

Priority 2 of the Advocacy Plan called for the extension of Mitchell Freeway to Neerabup Road including the construction of Neerabup Road from Connolly Drive to Wanneroo Road.

 

Comments associated with the item read: “The extension of the freeway to Neerabup Road and the establishment of east/west connections are essential to support the Neerabup Industrial Area, and the rapidly growing populations in land developments north of Clarkson.”

 

The Advocacy Plan then identified the primary funding source being the State Government with construction of Neerabup Road on either side of the Mitchell Freeway reserve and interchange being partly funded by the City.

 

In January 2006, the City submitted a number of infrastructure priorities to the State Government for funding consideration as part of the ‘State Infrastructure Strategy’. The Mitchell Freeway Extension/Neerabup Road Construction Project was one of the projects included in the submission.

 

The City submitted a proposal in October 2008 for the extension of the Mitchell Freeway to Neerabup Road and construction of Neerabup Road by 2011 for funding from the Federal Government Infrastructure Austlink Fund under the category of ‘Physical Infrastructure’.

Consultation

No community consultation has been undertaken in the preparation of this report.

Comment

The construction of Neerabup Drive, Clarkson from Connolly Drive to Wanneroo Road, combined with the extension of the Mitchell Freeway, is recognised by Administration as an essential component in the City’s future road network to meet the growing population and business needs in the expanding northern suburbs and Neerabup Industrial Area. The City and LandCorp are jointly developing a 400ha industrial area in Neerabup east of Wanneroo Road. These road projects will provide a direct route for traffic in and out of the fully urbanised residential areas in the northern suburbs and the industrial area.

 

The lack of the Mitchell Freeway extension and the provision of Neerabup Drive linkage will result in increased traffic pressures on Marmion Avenue, Connolly Drive, Hester Avenue and Wanneroo Road. These roads are already carrying large volumes of traffic in peak periods and motorists experience significant delays.  Lack of such infrastructure in the short term will be detrimental to the development of communities in many respects: economic, social, recreational, transport, health and environmental.

 

The lobbying of State and Federal Governments for a specific funding commitment and timeframe for this high priority road network upgrade is supported by Administration.

Strategic Implications

The proposal to construct Neerabup Road is consistent with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan 2006-2021 outcome objectives:

 

Social

2.4       Improve community safety

Financial Implications

Preliminary cost estimates were prepared as part of the previous studies for the extension of Mitchell Freeway to Neerabup Road and construction of Neerabup Road, Clarkson by 2011. It was estimated in 2005/2006 that this project would cost in the order of $155M. In view of the current construction industry climate, which has resulted in higher construction costs over recent years, it is likely that the estimated project cost would need to be increased to $200M.

Issue

To consider the results of community consultation into the need for a safe pedestrian/bicycle crossing facility on Marmion Avenue north of Hester Avenue.

Background

At its August 2007 meeting, Council considered a report into the Clarkson/Butler Pedestrian Crossing Review – July 2004 (the Review).  The purpose of the review was to assess the continued need for pedestrian crossings in the Clarkson/Butler region and to assess the location, form and designs of the existing and planned pedestrian crossings and to provide options and recommendations for improvement, alternate forms and/or rationalisation of the crossings (Item PD10-08/07 refers).

 

The recommendation of the Review in relation to Site 12, Marmion Avenue north of Hester Avenue reads:

“Keep the underpass closed.  It appears that the problems relating to this underpass are insurmountable.  In this case, it is proposed that a signalised pedestrian/cyclist crossing be provided at the intersection of Marmion Avenue and Quinns Road.  The existing levels on either side of Marmion Avenue at Quinns Road are considered to be suitable to install an underpass, which would have clear sight lines.  However, it is considered that the City of Wanneroo may have difficulty justifying the construction of a new underpass when an existing one is to remain closed.”

 

In consequence, Council’s Recommendation 3 of Report PD10-08/07 reads:

“Council:

3     REQUIRES administration to engage with the local community on the need for a crossing facility at Marmion Avenue (Site No 12 on the Plan at Attachment 1), six months after the opening of the Marmion Avenue/Quinns Road signals and that the results be reported back to Council.”

 

Refer Attachment 1 for a location plan identifying the subject area.

Detail

In order to provide the required safe pedestrian/cyclist crossing for Marmion Avenue north of Hester Avenue an underpass between Dunmore Park, Merriwa and Littleham Park, Quinns Rocks, adjacent to Greyhound Drive has been incorporated in the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2 (DSP2). 


The under road section of the underpass has been completed but construction difficulties were encountered with the associated excavations for the connecting pathways requiring extensive excavations in limestone to achieve the necessary disability compliant ramps, which resulted in the abandonment of the site.

 

The location of the site within the parks also results in poor surveillance, which in turn has led to its use for antisocial purposes.

 

The Review recommendation for Site 12 called for the underpass to be replaced by a signalised pedestrian/cyclist crossing at the Marmion Avenue/Quinns Road intersection.  This has been done by incorporations a pedestrian phase into the traffic control signals installed at the Marmion Avenue/Quinns Road intersection as part of a 2007/08 State Black Spot project.  If an underpass was considered essential for Site 12 the Review recommended the alternative location of the Marmion Avenue/Quinns Road intersection as having the existing levels that would provide the required clear sight lines.

 

The major pedestrian attractors on the west side of Marmion Avenue are the Quinns Village Shopping Centre on Quinns Road, and the Mindarie Senior College, Peter Moyes Anglican Community School and the Quinns Baptist College all on Anchorage Drive.  A pedestrian crossing at the Marmion Avenue/Quinns Road intersection is the most appropriate for all these venues.

Consultation

In August 2008 Administration commenced a survey of residents of the Clarkson/Ridgewood community within a 1 kilometre distance of the partially constructed underpass on Marmion Avenue between Dunmore Park, Merriwa and Littleham Park, Quinns Rocks, adjacent to Greyhound Drive (Attachment 2 refers).

 

Of the 1229 survey forms mailed to residents, 220 responded with:

·                121 indicated they had no use for a pedestrian crossing point on Marmion Avenue or would not use an underpass with 80 of those indicated they would prefer to cross at the Quinns Road traffic lights

·                24 indicated they could potentially use the underpass on a daily basis, generating a total of 51 trips a day

·                36 indicated they could potentially use the underpass on a weekly basis, generating a total of 68 trips a week

·                11 indicated they could potentially use the underpass once a month

 

Of those that commented on the survey: 68 were opposed to the underpass; 32 were in favour and 11 expressed a preference for an overpass.

 

A sample of the comments of those opposed to an underpass are shown below:

 

“We have enough hidden areas for graffiti artists and undesirables. Underpass would only add to the problem.”

 

“Haven for assaults, muggings, graffiti, rubbish drugs loitering.”

 

“There is enough people hanging around the park and I would think this would be dangerous place for people to access.”

 

“I think that the underpass would become dangerous for children to use.  Why couldn’t you put an overpass?”

 

“Construction of an underpass is counterproductive and expensive; nobody will use it with crime on the rise.”

 

“An underpass will undoubtedly become a hangout for delinquent behavior - it is a safe crossing at the lights.”

 

“If the underpass was to go ahead it would be full of graffiti and drug use and muggings.”

 

“I would avoid underpass at all costs due to mugging, assault and harassment.”

 

“I would not let my children use the underpass.  Antisocial behavior would far out way the benefits of such a program.”

 

“I do not think that an under-pass is necessary.  Underpasses are not safe for people to walk alone in that they attract vandalism and rubbish build-up.  This money should be spent elsewhere.”

 

In general the comments indicate a perception that underpasses are associated with antisocial behaviours such as graffiti, drug taking and assault.

 

While eleven respondents indicated a preference for an overpass, experience shows that overpasses are not well patronised.  In general the change in level associated with a footbridge is greater than that for an underpass, owing to the headroom required for vehicles to pass underneath, which in turn results in longer disability access ramps and a longer travel distance.

 

Most able persons will not accept the increased travel distance involved in negotiating a footbridge while even seniors prefer to cross at grade rather than accept the extra distance and the effort of climbing the ramp.

 

Overpasses have also been used in rock throwing incidents onto passing traffic.  As with underpasses if the facility is not heavily used and has poor surveillance then antisocial behaviour does occur.

 

Overpasses are also visually obtrusive and when located adjacent to residential properties overlooking can also become an issue.

Comment

The safest way to provide for pedestrians when crossing a road is by grade separation, either by an underpass or overpass.  While these facilities separate pedestrians from vehicles they have social disadvantages that from experience have led to low usage.  Considering the cost of these facilities, the large land footprint required and their low usage, it is difficult to justify their construction, unless fully integrated into the subdivision design to maximise their use.

 


The City currently has four operational underpasses within its boundaries:

 

Marmion Avenue north of Neerabup Road

Marmion Avenue south of Hester Avenue

Hester Avenue east of Connolly Drive

Joondalup Drive east of Houghton Drive

 

While there have been some complaints associated with these underpasses mainly associated with graffiti, overall they provide safe pedestrian crossing points across major arterial roads.

 

The results of the survey indicate that the community is overwhelmingly opposed to the proposal to make the Marmion Avenue underpass between Dunmore Park, Merriwa and Littleham Park, Quinns Rocks, operational.

 

Administration believes that the construction of an underpass at the alternative location of Marmion Avenue/Quinns Road cannot be justified due to the potential usage when pedestrian movement occurs, Marmion Avenue is already provided for by the signalised pedestrian crossing at the same site.

Statutory Compliance

Nil.

Strategic Implications

The provision of a safe pedestrian/bicycle crossing facility on Marmion Avenue 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 cost of installation a complete new underpass to Marmion Avenue could be as high as $2,000,000, with considerable disruption to traffic over an extended period during construction.  The cost of an overpass is estimated to be $3,000,000.

 

The majority of this cost would need to be funded by the City as there are very little funds available from the City’s DPS2 that can be assigned to this project. The majority of the developers commitment has been expended on the unfinished Greyhound Drive underpass.

 

The estimated cost to permanently close the Marmion Avenue underpass between Dunmore Park, Merriwa and Littleham Park, Quinns Rocks and fill the existing excavations is $50,000. 


The developer contributions held by DPS2 are insufficient to complete the pedestrian crossing works identified in the DPS2.  It is therefore unlikely that funds will be available from DPS2 to fund the closure works.

Issue

To consider the installation of parking prohibitions in Kingsway, Madeley.

Background

The management of Kingsway Court, a retirement village located on Kingsway opposite the Kingsway Sporting Complex, has requested that parking prohibitions be installed along its Kingsway frontage to prevent parking on the irrigated nature strip by patrons of the sporting complex.

 

Kingsway is a 7.4 metre wide Local Distributor road that runs from Wanneroo Road in the west to Alexander Drive in the east.  Direct property access to Kingsway is limited with most properties accessing Kingsway via Controlled Access Places (CAPS). Kingsway Court is one of the few properties with direct access.

 

Refer Attachment 1 for a location plan identifying the subject area.

Detail

Residents of the village have complained that parked vehicles are blocking their sight lines when attempting to access Kingsway and are causing damage to the reticulation.

 

The Kingsway Sporting Complex is located opposite Kingsway Court and generates a high parking demand by patrons and spectators.

Consultation

These parking prohibitions were developed in response to residents concerns for road safety and property damage.

Comment

Administration believes that the demand for parking at the Kingsway Sporting Complex is placing an unfair burden on the residents of Kingsway Court.  On this basis, it is proposed that “No Parking – Road or Nature Strip” (R5-2) signs be installed on the north side of Kingsway between Hartman Road and Regency Avenue as shown on Drawing No 2405-1-0, Attachment 2 refers.

 

The Kingsway Court management acknowledge that the operators of the Kingsway Sport complex have advised their patrons not to park opposite the complex , however, to date this has not produced the required result.

 

It should be noted that with the continued introduction of parking prohibitions at an increasing number of locations within the City and the continuing call for enforcement by affected residents continues to add significantly to the work commitment of the City’s Rangers and Safety Services. Council has approved two Parking Inspector positions in the 2008/2009 budget, which should assist with the enforcement of parking restrictions.

Statutory Compliance

The installation of parking prohibition signage on Kingsway 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 installation of parking prohibitions on Kingsway, Madeley, 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.”

Issue

To consider the current construction status of the West Wanneroo Traffic Management Study – May 2000 (TMS) and the effectiveness of the treatments.

Background

In response to resident concerns related to traffic volumes, speeds and crashes on local roads within the West Wanneroo precinct (Refer Attachment 1) the City engaged the services of consultants Gutteridge Haskins & Davey Pty Ltd (GHD) to formulate a traffic management scheme for the precinct.

 

After extensive public consultation, GHD submitted its report to Administration in May 2000.  This report and its recommendations were then submitted to Council at its meeting of 13 June 2000 (Report W154-06/00 refers).  At that meeting the Council resolved:

“That Council:-

1.      RECEIVE the West Wanneroo Traffic Management Study May 2000 Report as prepared by Gutteridge, Haskins and Davies Pty Ltd.

2.      ACCEPT the recommendations of the West Wanneroo Traffic Management Study May 2000 as shown in Attachments 2 and 3 to this report, with the implementation program subject to funding in the 4 Year Traffic Management Capital Works Budget.

3.      REQUEST Main Roads Western Australia to install centre linemarking and double white lines around the sharp bends in Banyandah Boulevard and Dallas Crescent.

4.      INSTALL raised plateaus (ie: speed humps) on Taywood Drive on a trial basis only in the first year. If unsuccessful, list construction of slow points on Taywood Drive in the 4 year Traffic Management and Capital Works Budget.

5.      REQUEST Main Roads Western Australia to consider funding of entry statements for all roads that intersect Wanneroo Road.

6.       THANK the members of the West Wanneroo Precinct Traffic Management Study Group for participating in the study.”

 

The proposed trial of speed humps on Taywood Drive was deleted from the TMS in 2001 (Report W289-07/01 refers).


“That Council:-

1.             NOTES that the offer of the installation of the rubberized raised plateaus in Taywood Drive, Wanneroo has been withdrawn by the proponents.

2.             DOES NOT proceed with the installation of raised plateaus on Taywood Drive on a trial basis.

3.             LISTS the construction of two slow points in Taywood Drive, Wanneroo in the Four Year Traffic Management Program.

4.             ADVISES the residents of Taywood Drive, Wanneroo of the proposed traffic management treatment of this road.”

Detail

The Council endorsed traffic management scheme as taken from Figure 10.1 of the TMS is outlined on Attachment 1.

 

The current status of the 35 recommendations taken from the TMS is shown on Attachment 2.

 

Recommendations 24 to 35 involved the installation of a brickpaved entry statement to each of the streets accessing the precinct from Wanneroo Road.  It was intended that these be part funded by Main Roads WA but this funding did not occur.  Only the median islands were subsequently constructed and funded by the City.

 

The pre and post study traffic volume and 85th percentile speed at various locations throughout the precinct (Attachment 3 refers) are shown in table format on Attachment 4.  The table also includes the score achieved under the City’s Traffic Management Investigation and Intervention Policy (TMI&IP) for sites where data has been gathered over the last three years.  Under the Policy sites with scores below 30 do not warrant traffic management, sites with scores between 30 and 60 are considered to have minor problems that are best dealt with through driver education and enforcement, while sites that score over 60 are considered to warrant the installation of traffic management treatments.

Consultation

The TMS was prepared after extensive public consultation.  Consultation has also been undertaken with residents affected by traffic treatments as part of the design and construction of those treatments.

Comment

The TMS was endorsed by Council eight years ago and is still undergoing implementation.  Other traffic management schemes endorsed at the same time and also still undergoing implementation are the East Wanneroo Traffic Management Scheme, the Alexander Heights Traffic Management Scheme, and the Quinns Rocks Traffic Management Scheme.

 

The majority of complaints received by the City in regard to traffic management relate to seeking a solution to ‘hooning’ and anti-social driving behaviour. 


Administration believes that traffic management as an engineering solution to ‘hooning’ and anti-social driving behaviour remains an expensive and imprecise tool and that traffic management should only be used to correct systemic problems in the road network.  Police presence and enforcement remain the best means of controlling driver behaviour.

 

The following comments relate to the traffic management results for the principal roads within the West Wanneroo precinct:

·                Wallawa Street

The low operating speed and TMI&IP score for this road indicates there are currently no substantial traffic problems on this road.

·                Thompson Drive

While the operating speed along sections of the road exceeds the default 50km/h speed limit the low TMI&IP scores indicate that the current traffic issues on this road should be considered a low priority for attention.

·                Neville Drive

The low operating speeds and TMI&IP scores for this road indicate there are currently no substantial traffic problems on this road.  The moderate TMI&IP score at the western end of the road is related to the number of accidents at that location.  This is likely a carryover from the traffic management problems on Scenic Drive and its 60km/h speed limit.

·                Taywood Drive

While the existing traffic management treatments installed in Taywood Drive have reduced the peak operating speeds by approximately 9km/h the moderate TMI&IP scores indicate there is a continuing need for police enforcement and driver education.

·                Church Street

The moderate TMI&IP scores and higher operating speed on the western section of Church Street indicate there is a continuing need for police enforcement and driver education.

 

The recent installation of the roundabout at the Church Street/Scenic Drive intersection should be expected to moderate speed along this section of road

·                Fredrick Street

The high and moderate TMI&IP scores for this road indicate that the channelisation of the Hasting Street and Crisafulli Avenue intersections (TMS Recommendation 11) is still required, along with increased police enforcement and driver education.

·                Hastings Street

Changes in land use along this road since the original study plus the moderate TMI&IP scores indicate that the proposed traffic management treatments may need reconsideration.

 

The Wanneroo Primary School has moved and no longer borders Hastings Street.  The resultant vacant land has yet to be developed as higher density urban residential.  The Wanneroo Road frontage of this block has also undergone considerable change and redevelopment.

 


Administration believes that the proposed traffic management treatments for Hastings Street should be deferred until redevelopment is complete.  In the mean time any current traffic problems should be dealt with by police enforcement and driver education.  The deferment of traffic management is in line with the City’s Traffic Management Investigation and Intervention Policy, which rejects traffic management for areas that are undergoing changes in land usage and where traffic profiles are not stable.

·                Crisafulli Road

The low operating speeds and TMI&IP scores indicate that the current traffic issues on this road should be considered a low priority for attention.

·                Leach Road

The low TMI&IP scores indicate that the current traffic issues on this road should be considered a low priority for attention.

·                Scenic Drive

The results for Scenic Drive shown in Attachment 4 were recorded before the commencement of construction of the Scenic Drive/Church Street roundabout, the two additional slow points, and the median islands between Church Street and Wanneroo Road.

 

The moderate TMI&IP scores along the length of Scenic Drive are a result of its current 60km/h posted speed limit.

 

Due to the enhanced recreational value of Yellalonga Regional Park and the completion of the Opportunity Playspace, Administration intends to seek a reduced speed limit of 50km/h for Scenic Drive from Main Roads WA (MRWA).  In order for MRWA to agree to the speed reduction, the City must demonstrate that it has reduced the operational speed of the road closer to 50km/h.

 

Administration believes the endorsed traffic management treatments for Scenic Drive between Neville Drive and Church Street should continue to be implemented to achieve the target operating speed.

·                Ariti Avenue

The moderate TMI&IP scores for this road indicates that police enforcement and driver education are still required.

·                Nyunda Drive

A painted median with limited landscaping was installed as one of the first traffic treatments in the precinct.  Additional median tree plantings were conducted in 2007.

 

The moderate TMI&IP scores for this road indicates that channelisation of the Kundilli Way and San Rosa Road intersections (TMS Recommendation 20) are still required along with increased police enforcement and driver education.

 

Administration believes that the proposed traffic management treatments for San Rosa Road (TMS Recommendation 23) will also mitigate the scores for Nyunda Drive.

·                Wanambi Way

The moderate TMI&IP score for this road indicates that police enforcement and driver education are still required.

·                Nannatee Way

The low TMI&IP scores indicate that the current traffic issues on this road should be considered a low priority for attention.

·                San Rosa Road

The high operating speeds and TMI&IP scores for this road indicate that the endorsed traffic management treatments are still required and should be implemented as a priority.

·                Jacaranda Drive

Traffic volumes for Jacaranda Drive have risen 16% over the last 9-years while the operational speed of this road has remained constant.

 

While the road has a high TMI&IP score no traffic management treatments were recommended in the TMS and there have been no resident complaint in recent years in regard to speeding.  Administration believes that the road should continue to be monitored along with increased police enforcement and driver education

·                Tamarisk Avenue

The low TMI&IP score indicate that the current traffic issues on this road should be considered a low priority for attention.

 

The following endorsed TMS recommendations have not yet been implemented.

 

Item No

Location

Proposal & Comments

2

Dallas Cr

Proposed Treatment:

Linemarking central on road at bends.

Administration Comments:

Main Roads WA does not accept the need to pavement mark bends on low volume roads.

Administration recommends that the proposed treatment not be pursued.

6

Scenic Dr
(North)

Proposed Treatment:

Central median and landscaping with slow points.

Administration Comments:

Speeding remains a problem along the length of Scenic Drive with operational speeds above 70km/h.  The current posted speed limit on this road is 60km/h.  Before Main Roads WA will lower the speed limit to 50km/h it is necessary for the City to show that it has reduced the operational speed of the road to less than 60km/h.

Due to the developing recreational nature of the adjoining reserve, Administration recommends the proposed treatment proceed between Neville Drive and Church Street and that Council seek a reduction in the posted speed limit to 50km/h.

Estimated Cost $180,000

Frederick St

Proposed Treatment:

Channelisation of intersections with Hastings St and Crisafulli Av.

Administration Comments:

Administration recommends that the proposed treatment proceed.

Estimated Cost $80,000

Proposed Treatment:

Central median and landscaping.

Administration Comments:

Administration recommends that the proposed treatment be deferred until land development adjacent to Hastings Street has occurred.

Estimated Cost $60,000

Nyunda Dr

Proposed Treatment:

Channelisation of intersections with Nannatee Way, Kundilli Way and San Rosa Road.

Administration Comments:

Administration recommends that the channelisation of the Nyunda Drive intersections with Kundilli Way and San Rosa Road proceed.

Estimated Cost $80,000

23

San Rosa Rd

Proposed Treatment:

Two lane slow points.

Administration Comments:

Administration recommends that the proposed treatment proceed and be given a high priority.

Estimated Cost $100,000

30

Crisafulli Av

Proposed Treatment:

Brickpaved entry statement at intersection with Wanneroo Rd.

Administration Comments:

The Crisafulli Avenue intersection with Wanneroo Road only allows left-in/left-out, there being no median break on Wanneroo Road to allow for right hand turn movements.  The current Main Roads WA accident statistics for the intersection record that only one accident has been reported over the 5-years 2003-2007.  Consequently, the proposed intersection median on Crisafulli Avenue has limited justification other than as an entry statement.

Administration recommends that the proposed treatment not be constructed.

Estimated saving of $15,000

Issue

To consider the City of Wanneroo RoadWise Working Group Strategic Action Plan for 2008/2009.

Background

The Terms of Reference for the City of Wanneroo RoadWise Working Group (the Working Group) requires that it develop an Action Plan and have it reviewed annually.  The Action Plan provides the basis for funding of projects by the City.

 

The current Action Plan 2007/2008 was adopted by Council at its meeting held on 17 July 2007 (Report IN03-07/07 refers).  At the Working Group meeting on Wednesday 22 October 2008, it was resolved:

 

“That the RoadWise Working Group supports the amendments made to the Strategic Action Plan 2008/2009 and recommends that a report be submitted to Council.”

Detail

The proposed (Working Group) Strategic Action Plan 2008/2009 is presented as Attachment 1.

 

The major accomplishments of the Action Plan 2007/2008 were:

 

·                The annual “Blessing of the Roads” event held prior to the Easter break;

·                The “Community Road Safety Day” and bi-annual “Caravan Trailer Safety Checks” prior to the Christmas and Easter breaks; and

·                Driver/Reviver Program.

Consultation

The proposed Strategic Action Plan for 2008/2009 was supported by (the Working Group) at its meeting held on Wednesday 22 October 2008.

Comment

The Working Group Strategic Action Plan 2008/2009 reflects the aims and initiatives of the State Government’s Office of Road Safety. It is designed to be easily reviewed and identifies actions to be performed with a budget for some initiatives. 

 

The Office of Road Safety has identified the following as the main safety issues in Western Australia:

 

·                Driving while tired;

·                Not wearing seat belts;

·                Driving at excessive speeds; and

·                Driving under the influence of alcohol.

 

In meeting with the above objectives the following WALGA/RoadWise road safety initiatives are continuing with support by the Working Group and its volunteers:

 

·                The Driver/Reviver Program;

·                School RoadWise Committees;

·                Bin Sticker Project;

·                Bi-Annual Caravan and Trailer Safety Checks;

·                Use of the Speed Advisory Trailer;

·                Annual “Blessing of the Roads”; and

·                Proposed dedicated Day for Road Safety.

 

Encouraging new road safety initiatives was also a key focus of the Working Group Strategic Action Plan 2008/2009, with the following new initiatives:

 

·                Increase number of trained Type 1 Child Restraint fitters within the City of Wanneroo;

·                Identify Black Spots;

·                New design for safe roads;

·                Liaise between City of Wanneroo, Main Roads WA and Police regarding speeding hot spots for targeted enforcement;

·                Promote Skipper Campaign to Licensed Premises, Sporting Clubs and Associations;

·                Volunteer attendance at Random Breath Testing Stations; and

·                Request Police presence at the Working Group’s meetings (upon request).

Statutory Compliance

The City of Wanneroo RoadWise Working Group is established under the Local Government Act 1995, Part 5-Administration, Section 5.9(c).

Strategic Implications

Issue

To consider an amendment to the 2009/2010 Metropolitan Regional Road Program to bring forward part of the Alexander Drive project to 2008/2009 financial year.

Background

At its meeting on 3 June 2008, Council endorsed six submissions for funding from the 2009/2010 Metropolitan Regional Road Program for Road Rehabilitation Projects, (Item No IN07-06/08 refers) including the following two submissions for Alexander Drive:

Liaison with Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) has indicated that these two projects are likely to receive funding under MRRP during 2009/2010. In the meantime, the City’s pavement consulting engineer has proposed to undertake a construction trial within one of these two project locations during 2008/2009. A proposal was submitted to MRWA in this regard and the City has been advised that the proposed trial can be undertaken during 2008/2009 with the grant funding payable in 2008/2009. This report considers the details of the proposed trial and associated budget amendment to include the Alexander Drive project in the 2008/2009 Budget.

Detail

All project submissions have been subject to the audit process conducted by MRWA, and  subject to formal approval of the 2009/2010 program, it is likely that the City will receive funding for these two projects.

 

The City’s pavement consulting engineer, Pavement Analysis has suggested the City consider a trial of a number of treatment options ahead of the actual delivery of these projects in 2009/2010. Under this trial, 14 possible treatment options, as shown on Attachment 1, will be considered over a 400m section of Alexander Drive.


The performance of the treatment options will be monitored over a 12-month period. The monitoring will involve actual testing and on-site observations. The results of the treatment options will be analysed and the most suitable and cost-effective treatment will then be implemented for the remainder of the project sections.

 

It is estimated that the trial will cost in the order of $80,000 including consultancy and testing fees. It is proposed to implement this trial during the forthcoming summer season in December 2008 to January 2009. This will allow a 12-month monitoring period prior to the actual delivery of the projects in December 2009 to January 2010.

 

The City does not have a budget allocation to undertake this trial. A proposal was therefore submitted to the Metropolitan Regional Road Technical Officers Group (MRRTOG) to pre-fund a portion of the grant funding for one of these two projects in 2008/2009.  It was submitted that the expenses incurred for this trial will form part of the overall project cost to be incurred in 2009/2010 and the City will set up a project costing structure to accurately record all costs for the trial and the actual project during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010.

 

The MRRTOG has considered the City’s proposal and agreed to prefund the $80,000 for the Alexander Drive project from the 2008/2009 Road Rehabilitation Program.

Consultation

City’s pavement consulting engineers have provided technical advice and the MRRTOG has supported this proposal. 

Comment

Alexander Drive is a major District Distributor road and is a heavily trafficked route. Traffic management and the duration of the construction works will have a major influence on the overall cost. It is therefore critical that the most effective pavement treatment is selected in conjunction with the most cost-effective construction technique to ensure cost efficiencies.

 

The proposed trial will provide the City a clear direction on the most suitable treatment option and ensure the delivery of two significant projects on time in the most cost efficient manner. The results of the trial will assist the City in its technical knowledge of pavement performance such that better rehabilitation options can be chosen with confidence in the future.  Information obtained from this trial will continue over the next 10 years or so.  The trial results will also be available to the other local authorities, together with MRWA and should assist them in making decisions on their road rehabilitation treatment options for similar roads in the metropolitan area.

 

It is therefore recommended that $80,000 offered for the Alexander Drive road rehabilitation project from 2008/2009 Metropolitan Regional Road Program (Road Rehabilitation Program) be accepted and the trial be conducted during December 2008/January 2009.

Issue

To consider the outcomes of the feasibility study for the installation of a solar power generator on the roof of the City’s Civic Centre.

Background

The City of Wanneroo Energy Action Plan 2007 – 2012 was endorsed by Council at its meeting on 20 November 2007.

 

The endorsed report to Council included the following:

 

“The following three additional actions are also proposed following further investigations undertaken by the City’s Energy Steering Team:

·                Investigate potential impacts of climate change and adaptation strategies in the City of Wanneroo”.

·                “Investigate feasibility of financially valuing greenhouse gas emission savings as an internal pricing mechanism when considering energy efficiency costs and paybacks for the City’s projects”.

·                “Investigate opportunities to support renewable energy production within the City.”

 

The Energy Action Plan Clause 8.2.1.1 (General Actions) includes:

“Action 12 - Investigate opportunities for the use of renewable energy technologies to provide power to the Civic Centre and the City’s community centres and libraries.”

 

In the Strategic Plan the following specific action has been defined which is aligned to Action 12 of the Energy Action Plan: -

“Action 1.6.1.1 Undertake a feasibility study for the use of solar power at the Civic Centre.”

 

The Actions endorsed above have been the key drivers for Administration to commission GHD Consulting Engineers (GHD) to undertake a feasibility study for the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system at City’s Civic Centre, Dundebar Road, Wanneroo.

Detail

The purpose of the proposed installation is to:

·                Act as a means of demonstrating the City’s commitment to environmentally sustainable practices;

·                Reduce greenhouse gas emissions;

·                Produce power to cover a percentage of building energy consumption load; and

·                Gain experience in the management and maintenance requirements for new technologies.

 

The design brief for the report included the following scope:

 

·                Determine budget estimate costs to install either a 15kW or 50kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system at the City’s Civic Centre.

·                The proposal shall include the following costs:

­                        Engineering design and documentation,

­                        Installation,

­                        Connection to the power grid, and

­                        On-going Maintenance.

·                To identify and review potential funding subsidies or grants that may support the project.

·                Determine CO2 emission reductions for the project.

 

The City of Wanneroo is seeking to lead by example in the implementation of environmentally sustainable practices. The first stage of reducing emissions is to reduce consumption. To date there have been numerous energy saving initiatives implemented in the City’s Civic Centre to reduce energy consumption and these are detailed below:

·                Stage 1 - Energy Benchmarking Report (Dec 2002)

·                Stage 2 - Energy Audits (May 2003)

­              Parks – six sites

­              Medium Buildings – two sites

­              New Civic Centre

·                Stage 3 - Electrical Tariff Analysis (May 2003)

­              eight sites

 

The energy Audit of New Civic Centre (May 2003) identified the following:

·                Energy Saving Actions (ESA)

­              Potential total energy cost saving of 7.2%

­              Valued at $12,000 pa

­              136.5 tonnes CO2-e

­              Capital $55,200

­              Payback 4.6 yrs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The Energy Saving Actions (ESA) identified in the report were implemented late 2003 and included:

·                Mechanical Services

­              Install Variable Speed Drives to chilled water pumps

­              Reduce static pressure to suit demand within the building

­              Reprogram A/C to manual push button

­              Reduce run on time of A/C A/H push buttons.

­              Install master temp set point to allow prompt change of building temperatures as required.

­              Install Optimum Start/Stop Program to minimise system run time.

­              Install Load Shedding Program into BMS to reduce max electrical demand

·                Electrical Services

­              Install dedicated Cleaners Lighting Circuit

­              Install motion activated lighting control (60 units)

­              Provide intuitive light switch labelling

 

Savings Achieved:

The following graph depicts the energy consumption year on year since the building has been in operation and clearly indicates the savings achieved by the implementation of the ESA’s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


This has progressed to a point where any further initiatives will come at a significant cost with smaller energy savings. The next step in sustainable practices is to replace energy sources and a solar power presents the City with this opportunity.

 

The possible future solar power system is intended to raise the profile of sustainable practices and will highlight the importance of positive change through the education of staff and the ratepayers of the Wanneroo community, as detailed in the City’s Energy Action Plan 2007-2012.


This system potentially may add to the City’s efforts to respond proactively to the issues of climate change and the Cities for Climate Protection Program (CCPTM Plus Program).

 

GHD consultants have completed a feasibility study for the installation of a solar power generator on the roof of the City’s Civic Centre. A copy of this report has been placed in the Elected Members Reading Room for further perusal and reference.

 

The objective of the study was to determine all associated costs; expected energy output and to quantify greenhouse gas reductions of an installed system. The investigation included information on photovoltaic technology descriptions and community engagement opportunities that the project would generate which would result in community education benefits. The consultant’s report has provided an overview of the basic system configurations, various types of modules available, module life and warranties, associated equipment and maintenance requirements. The proposed location of the system and its roof area requirement has also been provided.

 

To generate measurable and realistic outcomes from the feasibility study, the consultant has supplied measurable data for a 50 kW and a 15 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system.

 

The justification for targeting 15 kW system for assessment is as follows:

·                Could be supplied within a budget of $230,000.

·                Will provide excellent educational benefits.

·                Although the system initially does not provide the same greenhouse gas reduction as a 50kW system, the system can be designed to allow increase in capacity for the future, as additional funds or new technology becomes available.

·                Would demonstrate the City’s commitment to sustainable technology.

 

The justification for targeting 50 kW system for assessment is as follows:

·                Could be supplied at the ceiling value of $600,000.

·                Will provide excellent educational benefits.

·                Would generate a substantial amount of power for the facility. Hopefully, with the ability of returning some excess electricity to the mains grid, in building shutdown periods. e.g. weekends.

·                Would highlight the City’s commitment to sustainable technology.

 

To clearly identify cost savings, Net Present Cost (NPC) is used to identify the collection of all current perceived and actual costs for the provision of energy supply.  The resulting NPC is the cost for the system above current cost to provide the power supply and which also incorporates other savings that can be identified. This cost does not include a value for the Greenhouse gases saved or any increases in current cost of power by local suppliers currently at 8.36 c/kWh. The details of the NPC calculation have been included within the report.

 

The rebates, credits and grants programs that are applicable to this system have also been outlined. These benefits have been factored into cost quotations where applicable. Further information detailing various grant programs has also been incorporated into the report.

 

50 kW Solar Photovoltaic System

The 50 kW system is estimated to provide approximately 10% of the building energy, which equates to around 100% of the electrical load of the elected members area (excluding the air-conditioning chiller unit).


 The elected members area includes the Mayor’s reception, Mayor’s Office, members’ dining area, Jarrah Lounge and Council Chamber. The system has the potential to save around 83 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year (tCO2-e) or 2,075 tCO2-e over the expected life of the system (25 years). A 50 kW system is estimated to produce 84.5 MWh per year of electrical energy.  This equates to all after-hour uses of the building.

 

The average cost of solar photovoltaic systems is around $10,000 per kW. The estimated cost of a 50kW solar system is around $500,000. This cost excludes design, installation and on-going costs.

 

The total estimate of the installation costs is $600,000 consisting of:

·                $500,000 for equipment purchase;

·                $30,000 design and project management;

·                $40,000 for modification to roof area to support equipment installation; and

·                $30,000 for contingency/inflation.

 

The on-going annual maintenance costs of the system would consist of:

·                $200 servicing and checks;

·                $600 cleaning;

·                $2,000 parts repair; and

·                Additionally the Inverters have a life expectancy of 10 to15 years. The cost to replace and inverters has been included into the NPC calculation.

15 kW Solar Photovoltaic System

A 15 kW system is expected to cover approximately 2.5% of the Civic Centre building’s current electrical load, which equates to around 50% of the electrical load of the elected members area (excluding the air-conditioning chiller unit). The elected members area includes the Mayor’s reception, Mayor’s Office, members’ dining area, Jarrah Lounge and Council Chamber.

Other opportunities exist to supply the various lighting circuits within the foyers and galleries within the ground and first floors.

 

The system has the potential to save around 26 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year (tCO2-e) or 650 tCO2-e over the expected life of the system (25 years). A 15 kW system is estimated to produce 26.5 MWh per year of electrical energy.

 

The total estimate of the installation costs is $230,000 consisting of:

·                $150,000 for equipment purchase;

·                $20,000 design and project management;

·                $30,000 for modification to roof area to support equipment installation; and

·                $30,000 for contingency/inflation.

 

The on-going annual maintenance costs of the system would consist of:

·                $150 servicing and checks;

·                $1,000 parts repair; and

·                Additionally the Inverters have a life expectancy of 10 to15 years. The cost to replace and inverters has been included into the NPC calculation.

Comment

The feasibility study has confirmed the following:

·                It was a test to confirm the area required for this size system and the study has confirmed that there is sufficient space on the roof for a 50 kW system.

·                At the current cost of power to support the Civic Centre, the payback period would make the system uneconomic (excluding and greenhouse benefits and public perception benefits).

·                The current grant system does not cover the installation of power generation systems in metropolitan areas and is only for the education, advertising and training aspects of any system.

·                SYNERGY does not purchase power back from systems greater than 5kW. So any energy returned to the power grid by the City’s system would not be a financial gain to the City. However, as the City is a large customer for SYNERGY there is an opportunity for negotiation on selling power back to them and it is generally accepted that local government has a key role to play in being a catalyst to influencing government to be more responsive to global warming by legislating to allow local clean energy generation to prosper. However for solar generation capacities detailed in the study, there is little potential for excess power to be fed back into the grid due to Administration Centre power use, even after-hours, always being more than 15kW.

·                The experience gained by managing a solar power system would be the same no matter what the capacity is of the system.

·                Whatever system is installed it can be readily added to in the future at minimal additional cost above the equipment purchase cost.

·                For the 15 kW system, the NPC after 25 years of calculated payback is estimated to be $119,400. The calculation to provide a zero cost NPC would be achieved when the price of power reaches $23.97c/kWh (currently $8.36c/kWh).

·                For the 50 kW system, the NPC after 25 years of calculated payback is estimated to be $288,500. The calculation to provide a zero cost NPC would be achieved when the price of power reaches $20.23c/kWh (currently $8.36c/kWh).

 

The feasibility study has concluded that a 15kW system will suit the original intent and future perceived needs of the Energy Action Plan.

 

The preferred location of a new system is the Civic Centre as it provides better security for the equipment and it is the City’s most prominent building.

 

State Government has set a goal for all new state facilities to be a minimum of five star rated against the Green Building Council Australia, Greenstar certification system. http://www.gbca.org.au/default.asp. This has been a strong driver for the consideration of this feasibility study.

 

During the design phase of the Wanneroo Library and Cultural Centre, extensive studies were undertaken into the cost benefits of various energy saving innovations to be installed into the Centre. The outcome was that solar powered hot water is being used plus several water saving devices within the general plumbing system.

 

Notwithstanding this, further investigations have been initiated within the ambit of the current project to determine the practicability and cost benefits of retro fitting energy generating capacity within the Centre. It is anticipated that a report will be available for consideration by Council in February 2009.

Issue

To consider the 2008/2009 Financial Activity Statements for the period ended 30 September 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 2008/2009 Annual Budget.  This format separates Revenue and Expenses from Other Revenue and Expenses and provides improved disclosure of City’s underlying Operating Result.

 

The Financial Activity Statement is in the form of an Income Statement, which compares year to date actual income and expenses with the year to date budget, shows variances and the adopted and revised budgets (if any).  It is accompanied by information relating to Capital Projects, an Investment Portfolio Summary and Statement of Net Current Assets.

 

In addition to the above, Regulation 34(5) 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.  For the 2008/2009 financial year Council has adopted 10% for the reporting of variances, which is in line with previous years.

Detail

Comments on the year to date financial performance are set out below.

Comments

The following comments are provided on the Financial Activity Statement for the period ended 30 September 2008:-


Income Statement (Attachment 1 refers)

Net Result                                                       $ million

Year to Date Actual                                        62.118

Year to Date Budget                                      34.885

Year to Date Variance                                                27.233 (+78%)

Full Year Adopted Budget                             49.440

Full Year Revised Budget                              49.506

 

The following information is provided on key aspects of the year to date financial results:-

Revenues                                                         $ million

Year to Date Actual                                        72.831

Year to Date Budget                                      73.783

Year to Date Variance                                                  -0.951 (-1%)

Full Year Adopted Budget                             102.737

Full Year Revised Budget                              102.874

 

The City’s annual Rating Income was raised through the accounts in August and a variance of less than 1% (-$0.302 million) is stated.

 

Under the Operating Grants and Subsidies area an amount of $1.912 million has been receipted to September, which is 5% below the anticipated year to date budget.

 

Contributions, Reimbursements and Donations continue to be behind budget into the third month of the year, with only $0.107 million received, representing a -67% variance.  Administration will continue to closely monitor the receipts of these revenues in the coming months to ensure budgeted amounts are received.

 

Interest Earnings have proved positive, exceeding budget estimates by 27% (+$0.386 million). As a proactive response to the recent global financial crises, the Reserve Bank has reduced cash rate by 1% in October and a further 0.5 to 1% rate cut is anticipated by early 2009.  Administration will closely monitor the financial market and negotiate on the highest possible interest rate deals for term deposits wherever possible.

 

Other Revenue is however under budget at this point in time, to the effect of –48% (-$0.570 million).  This is mainly due to timing difference particularly in regards to the invoicing of external parties.

 

Expenses                                                         $ million

Year to Date Actual                                        -22.154

Year to Date Budget                                      -26.094

Year to Date Variance                                       3.940 (+15%)

Full Year Adopted Budget                             -105.691

Full Year Revised Budget                              -105.761

 


Employee Costs, which represents approximately 43% of the full year budgeted expenses, are currently below budget, by $0.746 million (+7%).  The main factors effecting this favourable variance are vacancies within some areas and that newly created positions have not been filled.  It is expected that over the course of the financial year that this variance will be corrected.

 

Materials and Contracts costs are well under the year to date budget estimates, to the value of $2.071 million (+26%).  At this early stage of the year expenditures in this area are generally slow to begin with but still estimated to meet its target by year-end.

 

Utilities are under budget to the value of $0.383 million (+38%), which is primarily due to the variation in seasonal demand throughout the year.

 

Insurance costs remain under budget, predominantly due to the timing of payments for premiums.  Currently a positive variance of +33% is indicated (+$0.272 million).

 

Interest Expenses year to date have amounted to $0.409 million, but due to fixed payments is on line to meet budget.  These costs relate to a repayment plan to Western Australia Treasury Corporation, for the loan draw down previously entered into for the City to assist with the funding towards major capital projects.

 

Other Revenue and Expenses                         $ million

(excluding Contributions of Physical Assets)

Year to Date Actual                                        11.441

Year to Date Budget                                      -12.803

Year to Date Variance                                                  24.245 (+189%)

Full Year Revised Budget                              22.393

 

In both categories of Grants and Subsidies and Contributions, Reimbursements and Donations, no funds were expected by September month end.  However year to date figures show that the City has already received $1.647 million and $0.472 million respectively in each of these areas.

With Town Planning Schemes, it is difficult to forecast when contributions will be received so budgets have been loaded on a four (4) monthly basis.  Income has been received by the City to the value of $11.420 million, however, it is likely to fall in line with annual budget.  Some expenses have been made year to date, equalling $2.096 million which is linked to land acquisition and road construction projects.

Investment Portfolio Summary (Attachment 2 refers)

Administration has maintained a conservative investment strategy with 100% capital protection as a prime objective.  Global economic activity and financial market movements have been monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure the City professionally and competently performs a responsible and prudent investment strategy.

 

As at 30 September 2008 the City holds an investment portfolio (cash and cash equivalents) of $159,633,697.  The City has progressively been converting financial assets to cash deposits with major banks holding A-1 short-term credit rating or above.  The current yield for the portfolio is weighted average at 8%.

 

As Administration foresaw to some degree the credit crisis and projected a down turn of interest some months ago, most of the City’s bank deposits hold a maturity term of 6 months at an average 8% return.  Year to date, the City has secured a forecast accrued interest income of approximately $6.2 million, foreshadowing an end of year result in excess of budget.

Issue

To consider repealing the existing Investment Policy dated 1 July 1999 and adopting a new policy.

Background

The City’s Investment Policy provides strict guidance to Administration to ensure the City’s investment strategy; its processes and measurements are in compliance with “prudent person” requirements contained in the WA Trustees Act 1962 and Section 6.14 of the Local Government Act 1995.

 

The Investment Policy was last reviewed in August 2004 (Attachment 1 refers).

Detail

In February 2008, the Department of Local Government and Regional Development (DLGRD) issued Local Government Operational Guidelines Number 19 titled “Investment Policy”.

 

This Guideline is intended as a “best practice guide” for local governments involved in investment activities. It examines the process of constructing a robust investment policy and identifies the key issues that should be addressed by a local government when engaging in the investing of surplus funds. A sample investment policy was also included in this guideline.

 

Furthermore, Federal Government has recently announced a government guarantee on all retail and wholesale deposits with Australian Deposit Taking Institutions (ADIs) until 11 October 2011 as a proactive measurement to stabilize Australia’s financial system in response to the current global financial crisis.

 

The City has always maintained a conservative investment strategy with capital protection as a prime objective. In order to further demonstrate a prudent and responsible investment strategy, Administration recommend the following new investment policy which primarily adopts the best practice investment policy sample from DLGRD, incorporating the Federal Government Bank Guarantee Scheme and some minor enhancements to ensure flexibility and prompt investment decisions be made by Administration.

Consultation

Administration has consulted with our external financial advisor Oakvale Capital Limited. Reference was made to DLGRD Local Government Operational Guidelines Number 19 “Investment Policy”.

Comment

In order to demonstrate a prudent and responsible investment strategy and to assure various stakeholders that the City’s surplus funds are prudently and conservatively invested, Administration recommends the Audit Committee to accept the new investment policy and recommend the same to Council for approval.

Statutory Compliance

The proposed changes to the policy are in accordance with Section 6.14 of the Local Government Act 1995 and Section 18(1) of the Trustees Act 1962.

Strategic Implications

“Outcome 4 – Governance – Leadership and Community engagement to ensure the best use of our physical, financial and human resources”.

Policy Implications

A new version of the Investment Policy is included in the recommendation.

Audit Committee Recommendation – 28 October 2008

That Council REPEALS the Investment Policy dated 1 July 1999 and ADOPTS the following new Policy -

 

 

INVESTMENT POLICY

 

Policy Owner:             Director, Corporate Services

Distribution:               Directors, Managers

Implementation:         1 July 1999

Scheduled Review:     1 July 2000,

Reviewed:                   19 March 2002, 9 September 2003, 31 August 2004, 28 October 2008

Next Review:              October 2009

 

1        Objectives

While exercising the power to invest, consideration needs to be given to preservation of capital, liquidity, and the return on investment.

(a)     Preservation of capital is the principal objective of the investment portfolio. Investments are to be performed in a manner that seeks to ensure security and safeguarding the investment portfolio.  This includes managing credit and interest rate risk within identified threshold and parameters. 

(b)     The investment portfolio will ensure there is sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonably anticipated cash flow requirements, as and when they fall due, without incurring significant costs due to the unanticipated sale of an investment.

(c)     The investment is expected to achieve a predetermined market average rate of return that takes into account the Council’s risk tolerance.  Any additional return target set by Council will also consider the risk limitation and prudent investment principles.

2        Legislative Requirements

All investments are to comply with the following:

·                Local Government Act 1995 – Section 6.14;

·                The Trustees Act 1962 – Part III Investments;

·                Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 1996 – Regulation 19, Regulation 28, and Regulation 49

·                Australian Accounting Standards

3        Delegation of Authority to Invest

The authority is to be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to make investment decisions and sign investment lodgements and withdrawals.  Pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.45 of the Local Government Act 1995.  The CEO may in turn delegate the day-to-day management of the City’s investments.

4        Prudent Person Standard

Investment will be managed with the care, diligence and skill that a prudent person will exercise.  Officers are to manage the investment portfolios to safeguard the portfolios in accordance with the spirit of this Investment Policy, and not for speculative purposes.

5        Approved Investments

·                Without approvals from Council, investments are limited to:-

·                State/Commonwealth Government Bonds;

·                Interest bearing deposits;

·                Bank accepted/endorsed commercial bills;

·                Commercial paper:

·                Bank negotiable Certificate of Deposits;

·                Bank issue Senior Fixed/Floating Rate Notes which have a minimum long term Standard & Poor (S&P) or equivalent rating of “A”;

·                Managed Funds with a minimum long term Standard & Poor (S&P) or equivalent rating of “A” and

·                City of Wanneroo major land transactions.

6        Prohibited Investments

This investment policy prohibits any investment carried out for speculative purposes including:

·                Derivative based instruments;

·                Principal only investments or securities that provide potentially nil or negative cash flow; and

·                Stand alone securities issued that have underlying futures, options, forwards contracts and swaps of any kind.

This policy also prohibits the use of leveraging (borrowing to invest) of an investment.

7        Risk Management Guidelines

Investments obtained are to comply with three key criteria relating to:

(a)       Portfolio Credit Framework: limit overall credit exposure of the portfolio

(b)       Counterparty Credit Framework: limit exposure to individual counterparties/institutions

(c)        Term to Maturity Framework: limits based upon maturity of securities.

In light of the recent Federal Government Guarantee on all retail and wholesale deposits with Australian Authorised Deposit Taking Institutions (ADIs) i.e. Banks, Building Societies and Credit Unions until 11 October 2011, any investment in such institutions to this date shall be considered to be AAA or A-1+ rated in line with the Federal Government’s credit rating.

Further to this, any investment in an ADI that allows Council to demand early repayment (prior to maturity) at no penalty shall be considered to be money “at call”.

(a)     Overall Portfolio Limits

To control the credit quality on the entire portfolio, the following credit framework limits the percentage of the portfolio exposed to any particular credit rating category.

 

S&P Long Term Rating

S&P Short Term Rating

Direct Investment Maximum %

Managed Funds Maximum%

AAA

A-1+

100%

If any of the Council’s investments are downgraded such that they no longer fall within the investment policy, they will be divested as soon as practicable.

Investments fixed for greater than 12 months are to be reviewed on a regular basis and invested for no longer than 5 years.

(c)     Term to Maturity Framework 

The investment portfolio is to be invested within the following maturity constraints:

 

Overall Portfolio Return to Maturity

Portfolio % <1 year

Min 40%

Max 100%

Portfolio % >1 year

The investment return for the portfolio is to be regularly reviewed by the investment advisor by assessing the market value of the portfolio.  The market value is to be assessed at least monthly to coincide with monthly reporting.

The investment advisor should meet with the responsible staff and review the City’s investment portfolio no less than every six months.

9        Benchmarking

The performance of the investment portfolio shall be measured against the UBS Warburg 90 Day Bank Bill Index and/or the Cash Rate.


10      Reporting and Review

A monthly report will be provided to Council in support of the monthly statement of activity.  The report will detail the investment portfolio in terms of performance, percentage exposure of total portfolio, maturity date and changes in market value.

This Investment Policy will be reviewed at least once a year or as required in the event of legislative changes.

Documentary evidence must be held for each investment and details thereof maintained in an investment Register.

Certificates must be obtained from the financial institutions confirming the amounts of investments held on the Council’s behalf as at 30 June each year and reconciled to the Investment Register.

Issue

To consider amending the locality boundary between Quinns Rocks and Jindalee to continue in a straight line along the centreline of Glengyle Turn up to St Anthony Avenue (Attachment 1 refers).

Background

The locality boundary between Quinns Rocks and Jindalee was initially revised in February 2003 to suit the development design for the land immediately north of the locality boundary at the time. The revised boundary (Attachment 2 refers) was established in consultation between the City and the developers of the land, being Heath Development Company, and in accordance with the Geographic Names Committee’s (GNC) Guidelines. 

 

The City received a subsequent request on 9 July 2007 from Heath Development Company, on behalf of the owners of the subdivided land, seeking an amendment of the locality boundary between Quinns Rocks and Jindalee, west of Santa Barbara Parade, for the purpose of achieving a more logical boundary and to restore the original subdivided land holding to Jindalee. 

Detail

Proposed locality boundary amendments are required to conform to the GNC’s Principles, Guidelines and Procedures, which state that boundaries are to be established in accordance with the following: -

 

·                Natural boundaries i.e. rivers, shorelines, creeks.

·                Centreline of major highways, divided carriageways, other roads, railways.

·                Local government boundaries.

 

The proponent suggested two options to have the locality boundary between Quinns Rocks and Jindalee amended.  Option one was to have the locality boundary coincide with the centreline of Glengyle Turn. Option two was to reinstate the boundary back to its original position, which was along the rear of the lots fronting Maritime Drive. 

 


In July 2007, the City presented the two options to the GNC for its comments. A response was received in December 2007 advising that the GNC supports Option 1, subject to strong support from the existing owners affected by the change, which would include a total of 22 properties.

 

Option 2 was not acceptable, as new locality boundaries must run down the centreline of roads and not along the rear of lots.

 

Consultation

The proponent’s submission included the results of consultation undertaken with the owners of the 22 affected properties, which indicates that after an unspecified consultation period 13 responses in favour of the proposed locality boundary amendment, and 1 objecting, were received.  A schedule of the 22 property owners that were approached and the 14 responses received was supplied to the City.

 

The City undertook further consultation in July 2008.  Letters were sent to the owners of the 22 affected properties inviting comments on the proposed locality boundary change.  After a 30-day comment period, 15 responses were received in favour of the change.  No responses were received from the owners of the remaining 7 properties (Attachment 1 refers).  

 

The property owners that objected as part of the initial consultation conducted by the proponent have since sold their property.  The new owners have stated in their comments to the City that they agree with the proposed locality boundary amendment as they bought the property in November 2007 on the assumption that it will eventually be located in the suburb of Jindalee.

 

One property owner in favour of the proposed locality boundary amendment was concerned as to whether the change in locality from Quinns Rocks to Jindalee would cause a significant rate increase.  It is noted that the rates are based on the Gross Rental Value (GRV) of each property within a locality.  The current GRV for properties within the City was re-valued in 2008 and is effective for three years, with the next revaluation due in 2011.  Furthermore, rates cannot be differentially rated on Ward or Locality basis unless a Special Area Rate was imposed.  There is no intention for this to occur.

Comment

At the moment, the boundary between Quinns Rocks and Jindalee zig zags around Santa Barbara Parade, along Maritime Drive and back down St Anthony Avenue.  The proposed amendment would result in a more regular and logical boundary between Quinns Rocks and Jindalee as it continues the current alignment that runs down the centreline of Hampshire Drive in a straight line along the centreline of Glengyle Turn.   

Statutory Compliance

Section 26 of the Land Administration Act 1997 empowers the Geographic Names Committee, representing the Minister for Lands, to assign names to places, to investigate and determine the form, spelling, meaning, pronunciation, origin and history of any geographical name and the application of such name with regard to position, extent or otherwise.

 

The proposed locality boundary change has been assessed in accordance with GNC’s Principles, Guidelines and Procedures. 

Strategic Implications

The assessment of the proposed locality boundary amendment between Quinns Rocks and Jindalee in accordance with the GNC’s Principles, Guidelines and Procedures is consistent with the City’s 2006-2021 Strategic Plan and meets the following Outcome Objective:

 

            “4.7.2  Ensure compliance with relevant statutory authorities”

Issue

To consider a petition proposing the creation of a new locality named ‘Somerly’ for an area that currently forms part of Clarkson (Attachment 1 refers).

Background

A petition containing 72 signatures was presented by Councillor Steffens at the Ordinary Council meeting held on 29 July 2008 proposing the creation of a new suburb named ‘Somerly’ consisting of that portion of Clarkson marketed as the Somerly Estate. 

 

The subject land was developed as a Joint Venture between Macquarie Bank and the Department of Housing and Works, and was managed by the development group Urban Pacific Limited. 

Detail 

Names for new localities or changes of names are required to conform to the Principles, Guidelines and Procedures set out by the Geographic Names Committee of Western Australia (GNC), and it is the GNC’s role to approve or reject such proposals in consultation with the local authority. 

 

The table below outlines the GNC’s guidelines for new locality names or renaming proposals, together with Administration’s comments on the assessment of the petition.

 

GNC Guidelines

Administration’s Assessment Comments

Minimum size of urban localities to be 100ha, minimum number of available lots to be 1000 and maximum to be 10,000, ideal size to be approximately 500ha.

 

The existing locality of Clarkson covers an area of approximately 653ha and 4350 lots.

The portion of Clarkson subject to the proposal covers an area of approximately 164ha and 1890 lots.

Boundaries to be established in accordance with major highways, divided carriageways, other roads, railways.

 

Connolly Drive divides the subject area into two sections. The proposed northern and eastern boundaries do not align with clearly defined roadways and run along the back of existing lots, which is not recommended.


 


Names for the new localities or changes of names to preferably have an Australian emphasis and to be selected from the following categories:

a) Name associated with the area: aboriginal - feature or descriptive, locational or descriptive name, pioneer settler of the area, early property name.

b) Name associated with the development of the state: statesman or former politician, other e.g. ship, event, etc.

c) Other choice of name: flora or fauna association.

Localities may not be named in honour of someone still living.

The proposed name was made up by the development management company and is not known to be associated with any of the categories.

It should be noted that the existing Clarkson locality was named in honour of an early settler who held large leases of land in the area.

 

The proposal is supported by a broad-based community survey indicating very strong community support for the name change.

The portion of Clarkson subject to the proposal has approximately 1890 existing lots.  Strong community support has not been demonstrated on the basis that the number of petition signatories (72) represents only 3.8% of the number of lots within the subject area.

The proposal is to rename all or part of a locality before urban development occurs.

The subject land is zoned Urban Development under the City’s District Planning Scheme No.2.  The estate management company is reporting that the estate is now fully sold out.  The City’s records indicate that approximately 85% of the lots have now been developed.

The proposal is based on a locality being divided by a newly constructed major road or railway.

Not applicable.

The current name can be easily confused with another name, has mail delivery or emergency services problems.

The City is not aware of these sorts of issues occurring anywhere in Clarkson.

 

The proposed name has a long-standing association with the locality.

The proposed name was made up by the estate development company and has no association with the location or surrounding areas.

The proposal is based on a change to local government boundaries.

Not applicable.

 

In addition, the Principles, Guidelines and Procedures of GNC provide the following guidelines  –

 

“Furthermore, renaming proposals submitted to the GNC, which conform to the guidelines outlined above are unlikely to succeed if: -

·                The proposal seeks to adopt a developer’s inappropriate name coined to promote a development.

·                The proposed name has no relationship to the area or is a made up name.

·                The proposed name is duplicated or similar in spelling or sound to an existing Western Australian town or locality name.

·                Petitions presented in support only present one point-of-view.

·                The proposal is not supported by local government.

·                The proposal does not have strong local community support.”

Consultation

Comments were requested from the Geographic Names section of Landgate.  In response, the City was advised that locality names once approved are expected to remain permanent unless there is a sound reason for a name change and the proposal is consistent with the GNC’s guidelines.  In addition, it was noted that even if there was a sound reason for a name change in this case, the name put forward would be unsuitable as it reflects an estate name.

Comment

The City is required to assess any naming proposals against the GNC Principles, Guidelines and Procedures prior to submitting a request to the GNC for consideration.  The petition proposes to adopt an estate name that has no association with the locality and for which strong community support has not been demonstrated.  Therefore, Administration does not support the proposal on the basis that it does not conform to the GNC’s guidelines.   

Statutory Compliance

Section 26 of the Land Administration Act 1997 empowers the Geographic Names Committee, representing the Minister for Lands, to assign names to places, to investigate and determine the form, spelling, meaning, pronunciation, origin and history of any geographical name and the application of such name with regard to position, extent or otherwise.

Strategic Implications

Assessing proposals for names for new localities, or changes of names, in accordance with the GNC’s Principals, Guidelines and Procedures is consistent with the City’s 2006-2021 Strategic Plan and meets the following Outcome Objective: -

 

“4.7.2 Ensure compliance with relevant statutory authorities.”

Issue

To consider a request from The Salvation Army (Western Australia) Property Trust to sublease a portion of its leased area at the Merriwa Administration Building to Community Vision Incorporated.

Background

The Salvation Army (Western Australia) Property Trust leases the Merriwa Administration Building at 21 Lansdowne Place, Merriwa from the City at a current annual rent of $58,516.46 plus GST.  The building is occupied by The Salvation Army Employment Plus (TSAEP), which is not an entity in its own right but considered to be an operating arm of the Salvation Army (Western Australia) Property Trust.

 

The building is situated on Portion of Swan Location 1370 on Diagram 83356 and being whole of the land comprised in Certificate of Title Volume 1955 Folio 575.  The Jenolan Way Community Centre is situated on the same parcel of City owned land and faces Jenolan Way.

 

TSAEP’s lease commenced on 23 February 2001 for an initial three (3) year term and is currently in the last of two option periods, due to expire on 30 June 2009.

 

TSAEP is the largest Job Network provider in Australia providing employment placement services under contract to the Commonwealth Government.  It is a not-for-profit entity and assists people in finding employment through the provision of vocational training programmes, provision of job searching facilities and post placement support.

Detail

In a letter dated 17 March 2008 from Charter Keck Cramer, property consultants acting on behalf of TSAEP, the City was advised that the activities of TSAEP had contracted due to changes in the Commonwealth’s funding of employment services during the past 12 months.  As a result TSAEP now has surplus space to requirements (approximately 180sqm) within its leased area (Attachment 1 refers) and wishes to either sublease the surplus or surrender it to the City for its own use.

 

The City responded to the letter advising that there was no urgent requirement for the use of the surplus space and therefore sublease opportunities could be explored.

 


TSAEP wrote to the City on 25 September 2008 seeking Council consent to enter into a short term sublease with Community Vision Incorporated to commence as early as possible but for a term not beyond the expiry date of its lease, being 30 June 2009.  Community Vision Incorporated is a not-for profit community based organisation, which receives funding from various government departments, that was established by the City of Joondalup as a charity in July 2001.  It provides a range of both Aged Care and Family Care services such as the provision of family day care scheme services and provision of post school employment option advice to high school leavers.

 

Community Vision Incorporated is well known to the City and the services it provides would complement those provided by TSAEP.

Comment

Given that the City has no immediate requirement to use the surplus space and that TSAEP is still required to meet its rental obligations for the surplus area under the terms of its lease, the request by TSAEP to offset some of its rent commitments to the City by subleasing this portion to Community Vision Incorporated would not be deemed unreasonable.

 

Administration therefore supports the proposal for the short-term sublease to Community Vision Incorporated, which will expire on 29 June 2009 (where a maximum sublease term is sought, it is normal practice that the sublease be for the remaining term of the head lease, less one day).

Statutory Compliance

The proposed sublease is considered exempt from Section 3.58 (Disposing of property) of the Local Government Act 1995 as Community Vision Incorporated is considered to be a charitable body.  Regulation 30 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 states:-

 

   “30.     Dispositions of property to which section 3.58 of Act does not apply

(1)        A disposition that is described in this regulation as an exempt disposition is excluded from the application of section 3.58 of the Act.

(2)        A disposition of land is an exempt disposition if –

            …

            (b)        the land is disposed of to a body, whether incorporated or not

(i)         the objects of which are a charitable, benevolent, religious, cultural, educational, recreational, sporting or other like nature; and

(ii)        the members of which are not entitled or permitted to receive any pecuniary profit from the body’s transactions;

…”

Strategic Implications

The proposed sublease is consistent with the following strategies of City of Wanneroo’s Strategic Plan 2006-2021:

 

“2.3.1                Provide or facilitate access to services and facilities that support inclusive communities.”

 

“2.3.3                Assist and support local community groups so that they are able to establish and maintain their operations in the City.”

Policy Implications

Nil.

Financial Implications

There will be no financial impact to the City of Wanneroo as a result of the sublease and it will continue to receive the annual rent of $58,516.46 plus GST (invoiced monthly) from TSAEP as per the terms of the lease.

Issue

To consider the City receiving compensation from the NewGen Neerabup Partnership for allowing a gas pipeline easement and increased road width on City owned land at Lot 600 (570) Wattle Avenue, Neerabup

Background

NewGen Neerabup Partnership (NewGen) is constructing a $450M 330 MW gas-fired peaking power station on Lot 507 (140) Pederick Road, Neerabup that will provide electricity into the South West Interconnected System at time of peak daily electricity demand.  The power station is located on the north side of Lot 507 fronting as yet unnamed Road D4/D5.  The power station forms part of the Neerabup Energy Precinct, which also includes Lot 600.

 

Associated with the power station are a 30 km natural gas pipeline (refer Attachments 1 and 2) and a high voltage 330 kV transmission line (refer Attachment 3).  The gas pipeline will provide fuel for the gas turbines and traverses from the power station site to a connection on the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline near Muchea in the Shire of Chittering.  The 330 kV transmission line will connect the power station to the Western Power Neerabup Terminal Substation on Ziatis Road (refer Attachment 3).

 

The City in its capacity as a planning regulator has granted conditional planning approval for the construction of the gas pipeline and transmission line.  The Western Australian Planning Commission has granted approval to commence development.

 

NewGen has requested the City’s approval as landowner to install the underground pipeline on the eastern boundary of the City’s Lot 600 adjacent to the proposed Old Yanchep Road reserve.  In return the City has requested to be compensated for the lost value of the land.

 

NewGen has also requested the City’s approval as landowner to widen Road D4/D5 on the southern boundary of Lot 600 to accommodate the road widening required for the installation of the 330 kV transmission lines.  In return the City has requested to be compensated for the land lost to the road widening.

Detail

Gas Pipeline Easement

NewGen has requested that the City grant a licence for a 30-metre construction corridor on the eastern boundary of Lot 600 and then a 5 metre wide easement over the pipeline.  The easement will be permanently registered on the certificate of title and it is the effect of the pipeline on this land for which compensation is sought. 


The easement was originally proposed to be 10 metres in width; however, NewGen has now reduced the width to 5 metres to reduce the amount of compensation payable.

 

The eastern boundary of Lot 600 falls into two sections, the southern portion which will be incorporated into land to be sold to Griffin Generation Pty Ltd (Griffin) (refer Attachment 4) for a further gas-fired power station and the northern portion that forms part of the Energy Precinct however is yet to have an interested purchaser.

 

The eastern side of Lot 600 is currently zoned Parks and Recreation under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.  The Western Australian Planning Commission is currently proposing to change this to Public Purposes (SU) reservation to facilitate the development of the Energy Precinct.  The amount of compensation paid for easements depends on the owner’s perceived loss of amenity of the land.  Griffin has agreed to incorporate the easement into its land (for a corresponding financial adjustment) so there is less risk to the City, thus a 70% discount has been applied to the easement land within the Griffin site.  This will be deducted from the sale price of the land to Griffin.

 

In regard to the northern portion of the easement, there is a risk that a future purchaser may refuse to have high-pressure gas pipeline easement within their property or may wish to pay less for this portion of the land, so a lower 50% discount has been applied.

 

NewGen has agreed, subject to Council approval, to pay compensation to the City upon signing of the gas pipeline licence at the following rates per square metre for the land the subject of the easement.

 

·                Easement within 10-hectare power station site in southeast corner of Lot 600 (currently proposed to be sold to Griffin Energy) - $160 per square metre multiplied by 30%; and

·                Balance of easement along eastern boundary of Lot 600 - $160 per square metre multiplied by 50%.

 

Subject to survey of the final location of the pipeline easement and the 10-hectare lot, an estimate of the value of this compensation is as follows:

 

Easement over power station site

325m x 5m x $160sqm x 30%

$  78,000

Easement over balance of Lot 600

285m x 5m x $160sqm x 50%

$114,000

Total (GST exclusive)

 

$192,000

 

In order not to delay NewGen’s pipeline project while waiting for Council approval, the City has granted approval for NewGen to enter Lot 600 for the purpose of preparing for placement of the pipeline by clearing and grading the land and stringing and welding the pipe.

 

Trenching and lowering in of the pipe is not to commence until Newgen and the City have executed the Neerabup Power Station Pipeline Land Owners Deed (licence).  If there are procedural delays by the parties in executing the licence following Council approval, the City will consider allowing trenching and lowering to proceed depending on the progress made by NewGen’s contractor and the effect of delays on the overall program of works.

 

If Council approval is not granted or conditional approval is received, the City may at its absolute discretion instruct NewGen to cease occupying and working on the City’s land until any outstanding issues have been resolved.

 

Widening of Road D4/D5

Road D4/D5 runs along the southern boundary of Lot 600.  The current 20-metre unconstructed road reserve requires widening to 35 metres to accommodate a dual carriageway design.  The City and the owner of the properties on the southern side of the road are sharing this widening and each contributing 7.5 metres width of land to the road reserve.

 

Because of the proposed installation of 330 kV transmission lines in the centre of Road D4/D5 an additional widening of the road reserve to 42 metres is required.  NewGen has requested that this additional 7 metres be accommodated on the City’s land on the northern side of the road reserve.

 

The eastern portion of the southern boundary of Lot 600 is currently zoned Parks and Recreation and is proposed to be rezoned to Public Purpose (SU) reserve, so the rate of $160 per square metres has been applied.  The western portion is currently zoned Industrial and is also proposed to be zoned Public Purpose (SU) reserve by the WAPC, however, the City has submitted to the WAPC that this not be changed (PD11-10/08).  It should also be noted that the City has requested that the WAPC zone all of Lot 600 Industrial.  The higher rate of $250 per square metre has been applied to the Industrial zoned land.

 

NewGen has agreed, subject to Council approval, to pay the City the following rates per square metre for the land the subject of the additional road widening.

 

·                Land currently zoned Parks and Recreation - $160 per square metre; and

·                Land currently zoned Industrial - $250 per square metre.

 

Subject to confirmation from detailed drawings to be prepared by the City, an estimate of the value of this compensation is as follows:

 

Parks and Recreation land

525m x 7m x $160sqm

$   588,000

Industrial land

277m x 7m x $250sqm

$   484,750

Total (GST exclusive)

 

$1,072,750

 

This compensation will be payable at the same time as the payment of compensation for the gas pipeline easement, upon receipt of the City’s tax invoice by NewGen.

Comment

Council at its ordinary meeting on 29 July 2008 (CS13-07/08) resolved to sell a 10-hectare portion in the south-eastern corner of Lot 600 to Griffin Generation Pty Ltd for a sum of $11,000,000 plus GST ($110 per square metre plus GST) based on a Public Purpose (SU) reserve zoning.

 

Due to the much smaller parcel of land the subject of the gas pipeline easement, an increased rate of $160 per square metres should be payable.  This increased rate particularly applies to the northern portion of the easement, which may be sold by the City at a higher value in the future as land values increase.

 


Easement compensation ratios of land value can range from as low as 5% to as high as 30%, and given that a high pressure gas pipeline represents a higher safety risk to the site owner than say, a sewerage easement, Administration believes that this should fall into the higher end of the range, and as described previously, the northern portion of the easement had a higher compensation ratio value (50%) applied to represent the risk to the City of a potential purchaser, which may be a commercial competitor to NewGen, baulking at purchasing land incorporating the gas pipeline easement.

 

Council at its meeting of 6 May 2008 (CS03-05/08) resolved to sell a 1.58 hectare portion of Proposed Lot 2 (Part Lot 4) Mather Drive, Neerabup to Western Power for $4,237,272.73 plus GST ($268.18 plus GST) for serviced Industrial zoned land.  Given that the road land required on the western part of the southern boundary of Lot 600 is unserviced Industrial land, a discounted rate of $250 per square metre has been applied.

 

Administration is of the opinion that the compensation being proposed is a good result for the City and will provide much needed unbudgeted income for the City during the 2008/09 financial year.

Statutory Compliance

Section 3.58 of the Local Government Act deals with dispositions of land.

 

The registering of an easement over portion of Lot 600 does not represent a disposition of the land.  This will occur when the land is sold to an energy provider or other purchaser.

 

In regard to the Road D4/D5 land, this is to be disposed of to the Crown for the purpose of a road reserve.  Section 30(1)(c) of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 advises that Section 3.58 does not apply to dispositions to the Crown.

Strategic Implications

This proposal is consistent with the City’s 2006-2021 Strategic Plan and meets the following Outcome Objectives –

 

“3.1       Increase availability of serviced commercial and industrial land”

“3.2       Improve regional infrastructure”

“4.5       Improve long-term financial viability”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

It is expected that the estimated payments from Newgen of $192,000 for the gas pipeline easement and $1,072,750 for the road land would be received following signing of the pipeline licence in December 2008.  This represents $1,264,750 of unbudgeted income during the 2008/09 financial year.  However, the income from the sale of the 10-hectare site to Griffin in 2008/09 will be reduced by the amount of compensation for the easement within that site, currently estimated at $78,000.

 

The net position to the City would be unbudgeted income of $1,186,750 during 2008/09.

 

The City is promoting the development of the Neerabup Industrial Area to provide much needed employment for the local population.  Development of the City owned land in Neerabup, particularly Lot 4 Flynn Drive, has been delayed due to environmental constraints, which will most likely only be resolved through land offsets and environmental rehabilitation.  This will require significant expenditure by the City and potentially reduce returns to the City due to a reduced area of developable land.  It is proposed that the compensation received from the NewGen transactions be transferred to a newly created reserve to be named the Neerabup Development Reserve. 

 

Therefore this income received from Neerabup would be invested back into Neerabup facilitating further industrial development.  Ultimately, the balance of this reserve could also be applied to a Debt Reduction Program through a Strategic Payment Plan for the current $60m Loan Borrowing Plan.

Issue

To consider the proposed concept plan for the development of Gungurru Park, Hocking

Background

Gungurru Park is an undeveloped Public Open Space on Gungurru Avenue in Hocking adjacent to the Hocking Primary School.  It is made up of three separate Reserves, being Reserve 14459, 13174 and 13414 (see Attachment 1) and is approximately 3.5ha in size.

 

The reserve is currently a dry (unirrigated) park consisting of open grassland, areas of remnant bushland and a drainage swale in the south west corner to accommodate stormwater runoff from Ranworth road.

 

At its Meeting held on the 12 February 2008, Council considered report IN03-02/08 regarding an offer made by Mammoth Nominees for the contribution of $200,000 towards the development of Gungurru Park.  This funding contribution was made as compensation for approval to discharge stormwater drainage from other areas of their development (Verteramo and Nicholas Roads) into the existing drainage swale at the Reserve.  As a result, Council resolved to:

 

“1.    APPROVES the enlargement of the existing drainage basin at Gungurru Park, Hocking, and associated reinstatement works, by Mammoth Nominees to use for drainage disposal from Verteramo Road and Nicholas Road;

 

2.       ACCEPTS the offer made by Mammoth Nominees for the contribution of $200,000 towards the development of Gungurru Park; and

 

3.       LISTS the sum of $390,000 for consideration in the draft 5 Year Passive Parks Development Program for the development of Gungurru Park, Hocking in accordance with the concept plan (Attachment 2).”

 

The contribution from Mammoth Nominees enabled Administration to bring forward the project to the 2008/2009 financial year. 


The budget was subsequently listed in the current Capital Works Budget with a total project budget of $390,000, being $190,000 of municipal funding and $200,000 of external funding from Mammoth Nominees.

 

Accordingly, Administration has proceeded with the development of a design concept for Gungurru Park and has completed a detailed community consultation process to obtain feedback and input from the local community into the concept design.

 

Detail

The Gungurru Park Concept Plan (See Attachment 2) includes a number of core passive park elements that are, based on previous projects, considered appropriate for a local public open space of this nature. A copy of the concept plan is available for viewing in the Elected Member’s Reading Room.

 

Key features of the Concept Plan are as follows:

 

·                Green irrigated space for informal recreation and “kickabout” activities;

·                Water sensitive irrigation design incorporating hydro zones, soil sensors and provision for future central control upgrades;

·                A combination goal;

·                Drink fountain;

·                Seating;

·                Playground combination unit with soft-fall;

·                An internal path network that connects with adjacent Hocking Primary School entry points and sporting oval;

·                Fenced conservation bush area in accordance with best practice bushland management and to restrict unauthorised access; and

·                Vegetation planting and screening.

 

Administration has worked closely with the Department for Education and Training and the staff at Hocking Primary School to ensure a good relationship between the school and the public open space and to secure community use of the school sporting oval so that duplication of spaces and facilities could be minimised.

 

As a result, the park improvements presented in the Gungurru Park Concept Plan result in an open space that is connected to the existing school both physically and visually, creating a more usable and attractive community recreation and school precinct.

 

The resultant design retains the natural character of the area whilst improving amenity for local residents, students and visitors to the Hocking Primary School.

 

Consultation

The City’s Community Consultation Review Panel endorsed the consultation strategy on 20 August 2008.  The strategy included:

 

·                Distribution of the draft concept plan and public comment form to all residents within a 400 metre radius of Gungurru Park;

·                Displays at the Civic Centre, Wanneroo Library and Kingsway Sporting Complex;

·                Inclusion of information and comment opportunity on the City’s website via ‘Your Say’; and

·                An onsite community meeting on Monday, 20 October 2008 to give local residents the opportunity to discuss the concept plan with Administration and Ward Councillors.

 

The draft concept plan was released for public comment for a period of 28 days from Tuesday 30 September to Monday 27 October 2008 inclusive.  A total of 51 public comment forms were received during this period, with 46 respondents supporting the draft concept plan (90%) and 5 respondents (10%) opposing the park development.

 

Of the 90% of positive responses, the majority were generally supportive of the concept plan as presented, although 8 requests (15.8%) were received requesting the inclusion of a BBQ in the concept plan.

 

The main reason given by those respondents that did not support the plan was that they wanted the entire park area to be irrigated.  Other comments included a request for a playground facility similar to the recently completed Opportunity Playspace on Scenic Drive and an ornamental lake.

 

Comment

The consultation process found a high level of support for the concept plan with 90% of respondents supporting the concept plan as presented.

 

Some requests were received for the inclusion of BBQs in the concept plan, however as the cost estimate is already close to the allocated budget for the project, the accommodation of BBQs would be at the expense of another element of the design.

 

Further, the irrigation of the entire park as requested by those respondents who did not support the concept plan is not considered to be an appropriate use of water given the nature of Gungurru Park and the effort made to ensure community use of, and connection to the school oval which is already an irrigated space.

 

As the requests for BBQs and the irrigation of the entire park are in the minority (15.8% and 5.8% respectively), it is recommended that the draft concept plan be retained in its current form.

 

Development of Gungurru Park in accordance with the proposed Concept Plan will provide valuable amenity for local residents and ensures a balance between meeting community needs and expectations and the City’s responsibility towards the environment.  It is therefore recommended that Council endorse the Gungurru Park Concept Plan and resolve to proceed with detailed design and development works.

Comment

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

 

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

 

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

 

22 Zest Court, Mariginiup

 

The applicant is seeking permission from the City to keep more than two dogs on her property at 22 Zest Court, Mariginiup.  Two of the dogs previously belonged to her nephew who has recently passed away.  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.  Upon consultation with neighbouring properties no objections have been received.

 

The inspecting Ranger advises that the property is adequate for the confinement and exercise of the dogs.  The boundary fences are 1 metre high mesh fences and the gate is a 2 metre high electric gate.  Fences and gates are in compliance with regulations.  The dogs are kept in a large yard and sleep in a secured kennel at night.  The Ranger has recommended that an exemption to the City of Wanneroo’s Animals Local Law 1999 made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 be granted.

 

23 Lotherton Way, Hocking

 

The applicant is seeking permission from the City to keep more than two dogs on her property at 23 Lotherton Way, Hocking.  Two of the dogs are sisters and they were rescued from the Swan Animal Haven.  The applicant advises that her original male dog has been quite sick, has cancers all over his body, but a change to an organic diet has prolonged his life.  


She also advises the female dogs attend dog obedience training on a weekly basis. A check of the City’s records reveal that prior to this application being submitted one previous complaint was lodged with Ranger and Safety Services.  The complaint related to the number of dogs on the property, which subsequently resulted in the application being submitted.

 

Upon consultation with immediate adjoining neighbours one objection form and one letter was received based on the dogs allegedly fighting.  The inspecting Ranger contacted both neighbours and was advised that there was no objection to the three dog application provided the fighting between the dogs ceased.  The Ranger subsequently advised the applicant of this request.  This application may be varied or revoked should further complaints be received which are considered reasonable. 

 

The objecting neighbour has been advised of the City’s due processes in relation to processing these requests and is aware of their opportunities to raise any further concerns in regard to this application.

 

The inspecting Ranger advises that the property is adequate for the confinement and exercise of the dogs.  The boundary fences and gate stand at 2 metres high.  Fences and gates are in compliance with regulations.  The dogs are kept in a medium sized yard and either sleep in the house or in a kennel at night.  The Ranger has recommended that an exemption to the City of Wanneroo’s Animals Local Law 1999 made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 be granted.

 

4 Kolan Elbow, Merriwa

 

The applicants are seeking permission from the City to keep more than two dogs on their premises.  A friend left the third dog at their property with them whilst he went to work on the mines.  The applicant advises that they have not heard or been able to make contact with the previous owner since.  The applicants added that the dog has now become very much a part of the family.  A check of the City’s records reveal that prior to this application being submitted one previous complaint was lodged with Ranger and Safety Services.  The complaint related to the number of dogs on the property, which subsequently resulted in the application being submitted.  Upon consultation with immediate adjoining neighbours no objections have been received.

 

The inspecting Ranger advises that the property is adequate for the confinement and exercise of the dogs.  The boundary fences and gates stand at 2 metres high.  Fences and gates are in compliance with regulations.  The dogs are kept in a medium sized yard and sleep inside the house at night.  The Ranger has recommended that an exemption to the City of Wanneroo’s Animals Local Law 1999 made under Section 26(3) of the Dog Act 1976 be granted.

Issue

To consider the receipt of grant funds provided by the Office of Crime Prevention (“OCP”) for the development of a Community Safety Plan in regard to graffiti.

Background

The Council at its meeting held on 6 May, 2008 considered a report (Item CD06 – 05/08 refers) and adopted a number of resolutions including the following:

 

“That Council;

 

1.       SUPPORTS the proposal to enter into a Regional Community Safety and CrimePrevention Partnership Agreement with the State Government and the Northern Region partners, the Cities of Bayswater and Stirling; and

 

2.       AUTHORISES the Mayor and Chief Executive Officer to execute the Regional Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership with the State Government and the Northern Region partners, the Cities of Bayswater and Stirling.”

 

In June 2008 the Council entered into the above Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership Agreement with the OCP and the Cities of Bayswater and Stirling.  The OCP determined that the partnership agreement needed to be based on a specific issue.  All three councils identified graffiti vandalism as a major concern and the partnership and plan have therefore been based solely on graffiti (and associated graffiti reduction strategies).

Detail

The partnership has set out to develop a three year Community Safety Plan relating to graffiti for the northern region as part of this program with the aim being to provide a collaborative framework to improve safety and amenity by minimising the incidence and impact of graffiti across the Northern region.

 

Under the terms of the partnership agreement, each of the three local governments is to receive funding of $10,000 for planning costs and an additional annual grant of $1,200 to cover administration costs.  To this end, two separate grants of $10,000 and $1,200 were received by the City of Wanneroo on 26 June 2008.  An additional amount of $1,200 for administrative costs to support community involvement was received in the 2008/2009 financial year.  Following the completion of the Graffiti Safety Audit a further $20,000 will be available from the OCP for a priority identified in the plan.

 

It is anticipated that to develop the three-year Community Safety Plan the services of a consultant will be required.  The City of Bayswater has undertaken to coordinate this process and the initial $10,000 grant received from the OCP will be used in conjunction with the similar funds received by the Cities of Bayswater and Stirling from the OCP to fund this process.

 

Consultation

Community consultation will be an integral part of the development of the Community Safety Plan.

Comment

In order for the City to use the $10,000 funds received to contribute to the cost of the development of the Community Safety Plan formal approval is required from the Council to expend these funds. 

 

The OCP has also inadvertently duplicated the payment of the $1,200 administration grant received for 2007/2008 and therefore a reimbursement back to the OCP of the $1,200 payment made in 2008/09 is now required.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

This initiative compliments all of the participating Cities’ existing graffiti management programs and in the longer-term aims to reduce 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

Under the agreement, the City has received $10,000 for planning costs and a further $1,200 for administration costs in financial year 2007/2008.  An additional $1,200 has been received for administration costs in financial year 2008/2009.

 

As the City of Bayswater is coordinating the Development of the Community Safety Plan as it relates to graffiti, the City of Wanneroo will be contributing $10,000 to the cost of this work.  This expenditure is unbudgeted in 2008/2009, although the money received in 2007/2008 is held in the City’s restricted cash.

 

Part of the grant funding received in 2007/2008 for the administration costs now needs to be returned to the OCP as the funds were inadvertently paid twice.  This money is also held in the City’s restricted cash.

Issue

To report on the progress of the Safer Suburbs Closed Circuit Televisions (CCTV) Cameras Detection Capacity Project.

Background

The now Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on 11 November 2007, visited Perth in the lead up to the Federal election.  During this visit Mr Rudd discussed community safety and community crime and pledged $6 million to make Perth suburbs safer.  As part of this package the City of Wanneroo was identified to receive $1 million to introduce CCTV and lighting as part of addressing local crime.

 

An application was then prepared by Administration in May 2008 and forwarded to the Attorney-General’s Department for consideration.  The City was formally advised 4 August 2008, that it had been successful in its application for $1 million for the evaluation and installation of CCTV and lighting.  The Agreement has been negotiated and signed off and a tax invoice prepared for the first instalment of $500,000.  The Agreement has been returned to the Attorney-General’s Department for processing, with sign off expected by the end of November, 2008.

 

In addition to this, the City has received additional funding to the value of $200,000 from the State Government, via the Member for Wanneroo, Paul Miles, to assist in the implementation of the project.

Detail

Since the announcement of the City’s success in realising $1 million for the CCTV and lighting project there has been a series of requests from a range of sources for use of these funds such as:

 

·                Ocean Keys Business Sector requesting CCTV to combat graffiti.

·                Leisure Services requiring CCTV for Butler Community Centre.

·                Wanneroo Town Centre requesting surveillance of new community facilities.

·                Landcorp requesting provision of surveillance for Meridian Park (Neerabup Industrial Area).

·                Local residents in Merriwa requesting surveillance in Observatory Lane.

 

The City of Wanneroo covers a vast area and whilst $1 million is a significant sum of money it will only meet a small fraction of the demand that exists across the whole locality.

 

There are a number of local councils in Western Australia that are either contemplating the use of CCTV or have already installed CCTV, albeit in some cases in an ad hoc manner.  The Safer Suburbs Plan Agreement between the Commonwealth of Australia and the City of Wanneroo is predicated on two specific phases being undertaken.  Phase 1 will conduct a feasibility study to develop an implementation strategy for the installation of CCTV within the City of Wanneroo Community.  This will also provide a coordinated and informed approach to achieve the best possible outcome.  Phase 2 will work within the recommendations of the feasibility study to install CCTV systems in the City of Wanneroo that achieve the objectives and outcomes stipulated in the Agreement.  These objectives are:

 

·                     Reduce the incidence of crime and antisocial behaviour in the City of Wanneroo through the installation of an appropriate CCTV system.

·                     Increase the perception of the City of Wanneroo as a safe place and reduce the fear of crime amongst business operators and the community.

·                     Enhance the availability and quality of evidence available to Police to identify offences as they occur, and to identify the perpetrators of offences that are committed in the locations monitored by CCTV.

 

The timing of the project is set out in the Agreement with the Activity Period as defined in the Agreement commencing on the date of signing the Agreement and concluding twelve months after the commencement of the Activity Period.

 

A consultancy brief was prepared and sent to six consultants for quotes.  The brief was detailed but in summary included the following tasks:

 

·                Conduct a crime assessment and community consultations with both residents and businesses.

·                Develop a community safety plan in relation to CCTV.

·                Set up working arrangements with the Police, to include determination of roles and responsibilities of the police and the City of Wanneroo.

·                Develop an implementation strategy to include locations, numbers and technical requirements of cameras and suitable monitoring options

·                Develop information strategies to inform the public about the presence and operation of CCTV within the City of Wanneroo.

 

Three quotes were received and are being evaluated in regards to relevant experience of the consultant, methodology and understanding of the process involved, time management and price.  Reference checks have been carried out for all three consultants.

 

Once the consultant has completed Phase 1 and the Attorney-General’s Department has approved the implementation strategy, phase 2 will then commence.

Consultation

Community consultation will be undertaken by the consultant as part of the project.  This will include the consultant liaising with residents, local businesses and the local Police as part of Phase 1.  An important part of this process is to manage the expectations of these groups as well as to obtain their feedback.

Comment

The City of Wanneroo has been successful in receiving Safer Suburbs funding of $1,000,000 (excluding GST) for a feasibility study to be undertaken and for the installation of CCTV in accordance with the objectives outlined within the formal Agreement.

 

The receipt of this grant will enable the City to engage a consultant to secure expert advice as to the suitability of a CCTV system to help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour within the City while providing a means of detecting crime to assist the police in their duties.  Following the consultant’s recommendations and working within the grant-funding budget of $1 million, the City will then be able to increase its network of CCTV cameras within the City.

 

It is therefore considered appropriate that Council accepts the grant funding in relation to the design and implementation of a CCTV system within the City and the associated expenditure to implement the system.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The design and implementation of a CCTV system within the City of Wanneroo is linked to Section 2.4 of the City’s 2006-2021 Strategic Plan “Improve Community Safety”.

Policy Implications

A comprehensive policy to ensure that the implementation and use of CCTV is lawful and the use of images obtained recorded in a safe, secure way needs to be developed in conjunction with other business units and key stakeholders.  Part of the consultant’s brief is to develop a Code of Practice in relation to the implementation and operation of CCTV in accordance with relevant legislation and policies.

Financial Implications

Funding for this project will be provided in a series of instalments in response to meeting significant milestones.  Financial assistance will occur with the provision of $750,000 in 2008/2009 and $250,000 in 2009/2010 totalling $1,000,000. 

 

A tax invoice for the first instalment of $500,000 has been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Department and receipt of these funds is expected towards the end of November.  There are two further instalments, each for $250,000.  One instalment is due to be claimed in May 2009 at the end of Phase 1 with the final instalment due on completion of the project in 2009/2010.

Issue

To consider the adoption of the 2007/08 Annual Report for the City of Wanneroo.

Background

Section 5.53(1) of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act) requires local governments to develop and publish an annual report for each financial year.  The content of the annual report is specified in s 5.53(2).  Section 5.54 of the Act requires that the local government accept the annual report for a financial year no later than 31 December after that financial yearSection 5.54 of the Act also specifies that an absolute majority is required.

Detail

The Annual Report, inclusive of the Concise Financial Report as audited by council’s auditors, was considered at a Special Audit Committee Meeting  held on Tuesday 11 November 2008, at which time the Committee resolved to recommend that Council adopt the City of Wanneroo Annual Report 2007/2008

 

The Annual Report has been prepared based on the priorities and direction set in the City’s Plan for the Future, including major initiatives that are proposed to commence or to continue in the next financial year.

 

Section 5.27 of the Act states that a general meeting of the electors is to be held once every financial year and not more than 56 days after the local government accepts the annual report.  The General Meeting of Electors is proposed for Friday 12 December 2008.

Consultation

In preparing the Annual Report 2007/2008 significant consultation has occurred throughout the Administration with a broad range of staff including the Chief Executive Officer, directors, managers and coordinators. In addition, consultation has also taken place with the Department of Local Government and Regional Development as to the reporting requirements and format of the Annual Report.

 

Section 5.55 of the Act requires that Council give local public notice of the availability of the annual report once adopted by Council.  This will be carried out via advertisements in the Wanneroo Times, The West Australian and notices places on Council’s Public Notice Boards.

 

As has been the case in past years, the publication of the Annual Report will be by way of a two page summary of the annual report in the Wanneroo Times with full copies available on the City’s website and at the City’s Administration Centre.

StartStrip - This line will not be printed Please do NOT delete

Issue

To consider a review of the “Travelling Expenses” and “Childcare Costs” provisions within the City’s Elected Member Allowances and Expenses Policy and update superseded terminology.

Background

The City’s current Elected Member Allowances and Expenses Policy was adopted by Council in September 2000, and was last revised on 20 September 2005.

 

At the Council Forum on 9 September 2008, some elected members expressed concern that items included on expense claims had not been reimbursed because they were not covered by Council’s existing Policy.  These items related to attendances at events such as the official opening of the Wanneroo Central Shopping Centre (Stage 1), the Vietnam Veterans’ Day at the Quinns Rocks RSL, the ANZAC service at Kingsway College and the Wanneroo District Netball Association Opening Day.

 

Other claims recently submitted by elected members that have not been reimbursed under Council’s existing policy have been meetings with residents, and attendance by elected members  at external committee meetings where the elected member has not been appointed as a representative or delegate by Council.

 

In addition, the Policy needs to be updated to remove references to “portfolio” briefing agendas and sessions, which no longer form part of Council’s meeting process and to include reference to Council Forums, and to working groups, which were created as a result of the 2007 review of Council’s committee system.

 

Council discussed this matter at the Council Forum on 7 October 2008, with the consensus being that a revised policy should be prepared for formal consideration.

Detail

Council’s current Elected Member Allowances and Expenses Policy states as follows:

 

Travelling Expenses

 

All elected members shall be reimbursed for the actual costs of any travel expenses incurred as a result of attending any:-

 

·                Council meeting, including Electors’ Meeting;

·                Meeting of a committee of Council;

·                Briefing sessions organised to brief elected members on the contents of a Council Agenda, or on strategic issues which Council needs to be aware of for decision making purposes;

·                Attendance at an official function of Council either held by Council or invited through Council as the official Council representative;

·                Attendance at a site where the matter is on the Council, Committee or a portfolio briefing agenda; or

·                Portfolio briefing sessions.

 

The actual expenses incurred will be reimbursed unless travel expenses are claimed from further afield than adjoining local government district AND the round trip claimed is more than 100km.  In this case the elected member will be reimbursed the expenses of travelling between the outer boundary of an adjoining local government district and the council meeting.  Actual travel costs if using a private car shall be determined in accordance with the Local Government Officers’ (Western Australia) Award Rates.

 

Childcare Costs

 

The actual costs of any childcare expenses incurred by elected members when attending:

 

·                Council meeting, including Electors’ Meeting;

·                Meeting of a committee of Council;

·                Briefing sessions organised to brief elected members on the contents of a Council agenda, or on strategic issues which Council needs to be aware of for decision making purposes;

·                Attendance at an official function of Council either held by Council or invited through Council as the official Council representative;

·                Attendance at a site where the matter is on the Council, Committee or a briefing agenda;

 

will be reimbursed to a maximum of $20 per hour.”

Comment

It is apparent that the current wording of the Policy, where it refers to “Attendance at an official function of Council either held by Council or invited through Council as the official Council representative” is the cause of some uncertainty in submitting claims for reimbursement.  Some elected members are of the opinion that, if they receive an invitation direct from an event organiser, or attend any event or meeting in their capacity as an elected member, then they should be entitled to claim reimbursement of associated costs.

 

In view of this fact, Council is requested to give consideration to the following scenarios:

 

1.       Expanding the range of allowable claims for reimbursement; and

 

2.       Amending the Policy to clarify the wording of currently allowable claims, remove references to “Portfolio Briefing Sessions” and include reference to Council Forums and working groups.

 

The Local Government Act 1995 (the Act) and the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 (the Regulations) specify that elected members must be reimbursed for the following costs:

 

(a)     rental charges incurred by a council member in relation to one telephone and one facsimile machine; and

 

(b)     child care and travel costs incurred by a council member because of the member’s attendance at a council meeting or a meeting of a committee of which he or she is also a member.

 

Further, Council may, if it chooses, also reimburse elected members for a range of other expenses as follows:

 

(a)     an expense incurred by a council member in performing a function under the express authority of the local government;

 

(b)     an expense incurred by a council member to whom paragraph (a) applies by reason of the council member being accompanied by not more than one other person while performing the function if, having regard to the nature of the function, the local government considers that it is appropriate for the council member to be accompanied by that other person; and

 

(c)     an expense incurred by a council member in performing a function in his or her capacity as a council member.

 

The Department of Local Government and Regional Development has confirmed that Council’s current policy is fully compliant with the Act and Regulations, in that it allows for the reimbursement of travel and childcare expenses associated with attendance at council and committee meetings, and also for a number of other instances associated with the performance of council-related duties.

 

However, if Council feels that its policy does not adequately address the issue of reimbursement, then it has the right to amend its policy to allow for the reimbursement of other expenses incurred by elected members in carrying out their role as members of the council.

 

Research has been undertaken into similar policies at a number of other local governments, and it has become apparent that in many cases elected members are permitted to claim for items such as meeting with electors and/or ratepayers, and attending any functions and presentations in their role as elected member that are supported by a relevant invitation or request for attendance.

The Somerly Christmas Carols has been running for the past 4 years at Riverlinks Park, Clarkson.  Every year the event is attracting more residents to the Park, particularly with the growing population in the northern suburbs.  Whitford Church have enquired about the Community Funding Program, however the time frame is not sufficient enough.  The Grants Officer has met with Whitford Church and encouraged them to apply in the March round of funding for next year’s Christmas Carols.

The City’s policy states that only 50% of the fees will be considered.

Issue

To consider the appointment of a replacement delegate to represent the City of Wanneroo on the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) North Metropolitan Zone following the resignation of Cr Laura Gray.

Background

On 10 November 2008, Cr Gray submitted her resignation from the position of Delegate to the WALGA North Metropolitan Zone, on the grounds that personal commitments are making it difficult for her to attend the Zone’s evening meetings.

Detail

WALGA zones are made up of geographically aligned local governments.  Across Western Australia there are 12 country and five metropolitan zones.  Zones are responsible for electing representatives to WALGA State Council, providing input into policy formulation and advising WALGA on general matters of concern.

 

The WALGA North Metropolitan Zone incorporates the Cities of Wanneroo, Joondalup and Stirling.  Each City appoints four elected member delegates and Zone meetings are also attended by the respective Chief Executive Officers and relevant Directors.

 

The Secretariat for the Zone is held in turn by each of the constituent Cities for a period of two years.  The City of Joondalup is the current Secretariat until May 2010, at which time secretariat duties will pass to the City of Stirling.

 

The Zone meets once every two months on a Thursday evening, with meetings being hosted by each of the constituent Cities in turn.   Delegates from the City  of Wanneroo also attend a Pre-Briefing with the Chief Executive Officer and Director Governance and Strategy at 4.30pm on the Tuesday prior to meeting day. 

Comment

Council appointed the following delegates to the North Metropolitan Zone following the local government elections in October 2007:

 

Delegates

 

Cr Cvitan

Cr Roberts

Cr Gray

Cr Grierson

 

Deputy Delegates

 

Cr Newton

Cr Smithson

Cr Miles

Cr Blencowe

 

As a consequence of Cr Gray’s resignation, it is now necessary for Council to appoint a replacement delegate.  In the event that one of the existing deputy delegates is appointed to the delegate position, then Council will also be required to appoint a replacement deputy delegate.

Issue

To consider means by which the funding for the relocation of the Old Wanneroo School House from Yellagonga Regional Park can be progressed.

Background

The Old School House, comprising an 1899 and a 1904 classroom, was relocated to Perry’s Paddock (now Yellagonga Regional Park) in 1992 after being removed from its original location on the corner of Wanneroo and Dundebar Roads due to road widening.

 

In 2001 CALM (now Dept Environment and Conservation) took over the management of what is now Yellagonga Regional Park and gave notice to the City of Wanneroo to remove the building.

 

Detail

The location of the old schoolhouse is now one of isolation from other operating buildings and it is at risk from bush fires. Its use / access is restricted due to the lack of toilet amenities and during 2008 there has been an increase in vandalism of the building. The proposed re-location of the school house to Neville Park (located at the rear of the existing Buckingham House) was advertised in mid 2008 with no objections received.

 

In March 2007 a grant of $50,000 plus GST was given by the Department of Local Government and Regional Development, through the Outer Metropolitan Community Fund (OMCF), towards the relocation of the building. An extension to the grant was given until March 2009, as a result of the lack of additional funding to complete the project. No municipal funding was provided for this project in the 2008/09 budget.

 

The expected cost of this project is $250,000, with $160,000 required in the first stage for the actual relocation process and a balance of $90,000 to undertake stage two works to provide disabled access, undertake building repairs, fit out etc. The stage two works could be undertaken in a subsequent financial year.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The relocation of this building is consistent with strategic objectives:

 

“2.2.2    promote a sense of place and identity through cultural activities including visual arts, performing arts and heritage”; and

“2.2.3    promote the appreciation, interpretation and conservation of heritage places and collections.”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The total project cost is estimated at $250,000, of which $50,000 has been sourced through the existing OMCF.  The source of the additional $200,000 required to undertake the works has not be determined.

 

It should be noted that the project can take place over two financial years.

Voting Requirements

Simple Majority

EndStrip - This line will not be printed Please do NOT delete

Recommendation

That Council SEEKS funds to advance the relocation of the old Wanneroo School House from Yellagonga Regional Park to Neville Park, with these funds being sought via grant applications and by direct request from the State Government.

Administration Comment

 

Whilst some further grant funding may be available, most funding bodies, including the Department of Local Government and Regional Development, expect to see some financial commitment from the applicant.  Some further funds will need to be available for this project by March 2009 or the $50,000 OMCF money may be forfeited.

Whilst funding is not available through the Heritage Council of WA, a request to the State Government could reflect the request by the land manager to remove the building from its present situation.

Issue

To consider providing support to the Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club and the Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club relating to 2008/2009 Council rate charges from the City.

Background

Cr Roberts has recently received an emotional email from the President of the Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club complaining about the club being charged rates given the voluntary community services provided by the club.

 

The Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving and Yanchep Surf Life Saving Clubs play an important role in the local community donating their time to assist with regular beach patrols and provide emergency life saving services.  Both clubs are under a lease arrangement with the City and their respective leases provide that they pay Council Rates in accordance with the City’s Tenancy Policy.  The lease to Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club over its new facility commenced on 1 January 2005 with the Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club commencing a new lease on 1 January 2008.  The previous lease to Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club did not require the club to pay Council rates.

Detail

Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club

The club has recently received its 2008/09 Rates Notice amounting to $4,765.54, which is comprised of GRV Rates of $4,007.06, the Emergency Services Levy of $726.86 and arrears of $31.62.  These amounts remain outstanding.

 

Council at its meeting of 10 October 2006 (CS03-10/06 and MN01-10/06) resolved the following:

“1.       RECEIVES a copy of the Quinns Mindarie Surf Lifesaving Club Annual Report for 2005/06.

2.       NOTES that a total of 1,235.75 Patrol Hours were recorded in the logbook on a voluntary basis by members.

3.       RESOLVES to donate an amount of $3,300.00 to the Quinns Mindarie Surf Lifesaving Club in recognition of its provision of surf lifesaving patrols of the local coastline subject to:

a)         payment by the club of its Emergency Services Levy within 14 days of notification by the City;

b)         presentation to the City within six months of a five (5) year business plan showing the ongoing viability of the Club.”

 

Council at its meeting of 9 October 2007 (MN01-10/07) resolved the following:

“1.       RESOLVES to donate an amount of $3007.47 to the Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club in recognition of its provision of surf life saving patrols of the local coastline, subject to –

a)         RECEIVES a copy of the 2006/07 Annual Report, if available, or an audited set of books as at that date;

b)         the presentation of the five year business plan, as requested in October 2006 (CS03-10/06 refers), prior to any donation being made; and

c)         all amounts due to the City for rates, asset preservation fund contribution, and any other relevant charges, being made in full by the Club prior to any donation being made.”

 

As demonstrated above, Council has supported the club financially with respect to rates since the commencement of the lease.

 

It is proposed to recommend that Council donate $4,038.68, including arrears of $31.62, to the club.

 

Yanchep Surf Lifesaving Club

Council at its Ordinary Meeting of 12 February 2008 (CS07-02/08) agreed to the following:-

“1.         APPROVES the leasing of Reserve 39022, Yanchep to the Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club Inc, for a term of three (3) years commencing 1 January 2008, subject to the consent of the Minister for Lands; and

3.            RESOLVES to donate an amount of $423.50 (pro-rata of minimum rate value) to the Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club Inc to off-set the cost of Council rates to be imposed for the balance of 2007/08 in recognition of its provision of surf life saving patrols of the local coastline, subject to –

a)         RECEIVES a copy of the 2006/07 Annual Report, if available, or an audited set of books as at that date;

b)         the presentation of the five year business plan, prior to any donation being made; and

c)         all amounts due to the City for rates being paid in full by the Club prior to any donation being made.

…”

 

Note: $423.50 amount for rates was estimated prior to the rateable amount being known.

 

The club has met its obligation c) referred to above, however no business plan and/or audited books have been submitted to the City to date.  As a result the donation has not been made.

 

The following table indicates what the club has been invoiced in terms of rate notices raised by the City since the lease commenced:-

Detail

Amount

Rates for period 1 January 2008 to 30 June 2008

$634.61

Rates for period 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009

$1,483.50

Emergency Services Levy for period 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009

$94.30

Arrears

$1.17

Total

$2,213.58

 

The club has paid all outstanding rates since its lease commenced on 1 January 2008.

 

Notwithstanding the Council resolution above it is proposed to donate $634.61 plus $1,483.50 plus $1.17 ($2,119.28).

Comment

Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club

In recognition of the voluntary contribution by members of the Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club it is recommended that a donation be made to the club in the amount of $4,038.68 (includes arrears of $31.62) towards the Rates only portion of the club’s 2008/09 Rates Notice.

 

Yanchep Surf Lifesaving Club

It is recommended that a donation be made to the Yanchep Surf Lifesaving Club in the amount of $2,119.28 towards its rates since its lease commenced on 1 January 2008.

 

The City’s Tenancy Policy, adopted by Council in April 2004, places the two surf clubs in a category in which the surf clubs and other Non-Commercial entities are required to pay rates.  Administration advises that this policy is currently being reviewed and the review will propose that surf clubs leased from the City of Wanneroo be annually reimbursed for rates by Council donation given their valuable contribution to the local community in providing voluntary lifesaving services.

Recommendation

That Council:-

1.             RESOLVES to donate an amount of $4,038.68 to the Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club Inc from the Award Governance Donations Account - 717633-1207-316 in recognition of the clubs provision of voluntary surf life saving patrols of the local coastline; and

2.             RESOLVES to donate an amount of $2,119.28 to the Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club Inc from the Award Governance Donations Account - 717633-1207-316 in recognition of the club’s provision of voluntary surf life saving patrols of the local coastline.

Administration Comment

 

Council has provided financial assistance to the Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Club to offset lease costs in the past as follows:

Council Meeting Date

Agreed Donation Amount

12 October 2004 (CS03-10/04)

$2,300.00 per annum for the 2004/05 and 2005/06 financial years

10 October 2006

$3,300.00

9 October 2007

$3,007.47

 

All rate charges levied against both clubs have been made in accordance with their respective lease agreements and the Tenancy Policy adopted by Council in 2004.

 

The Tenancy Policy is currently under review and it is proposed in the revised Tenancy Policy to treat the surf clubs in a different manner to other sporting entities with respect to rates.  The revised Tenancy Policy, if approved by Council, will consider a re-imbursement be made to the surf clubs for the rates only portion of their rates notices by way of an annual donation in consideration of the valuable voluntary service the surf clubs provide to the local community.

 

Whilst the Council may consider granting a formal waiver of the current rates (or a portion) under Section 6.47 of the Local Government Act 1995, it should be noted that other properties leased by sporting/community groups are liable for rates.  In addition, it should be noted that a waiver under Section 6.47 would not extend to the Emergency Services Levy.

 

Council has in the past granted rate waivers in the form of a donation from the Council, which retains equity with other groups and highlights the value of these concessions.  Should a waiver be endorsed, this approach would be considered appropriate and the surf clubs would still be required to meet their obligations to pay rates.

Issue

To lobby the State Government to commit to the extension of the northern railway line to Butler and in the future to Yanchep.

 

The City is extremely disappointed about the failure of the new State Government to commit to the extension to Butler and in the future to Yanchep.

 

Of great concern is the effect on long-term planning, housing affordability, social disadvantage and sustainability.

Background

The previous State Labor Government, committed to extending the railway to a proposed new Butler station and to the provision of extra rail cars to support this extension by 2011/2012.  The same government also committed to subsequently further extending the railway, eventually to Yanchep.

 

However, the new State Liberal Government’s election platform on transport contains a commitment to ‘develop a blueprint for a future integrated public transport system, including planning for: "...Extension of the Northern Suburbs Line to Butler, Brighton, Alkimos and beyond...".  This is under the heading of “Develop a $6 million 20 Year Transport Master Plan”. 

The summary section of the above document also refers to this commitment as a ‘recurrent initiative’, and says: “A Liberal Government will provide $6 million over the next three years to develop a 20 year master plan for Perth’s future transport task”.  The summary statement is of interest because it mentions a three year timeframe for the preparation of the master plan.

 

The new State Liberal Government has recently announced that it is not going to continue with the commitment of the previous government but instead proceed as per its election platform.  While the new government has not said that it is not going to extend the railway to Butler and then beyond, there has been a ‘pulling back’, in relation to the extension to Butler by a specific year. It has also not given any timeframe for extensions beyond Butler, but neither did the previous government.

 

Assuming that what the government is saying on this matter will mean that it will be at least three years before it is in a position to consider committing to a rail extension to at least Butler (three years being the timeframe for the preparation of the ‘master plan’), then the City is looking at least a three year delay for the extension to Butler, compared to the 2011/12 timeframe committed to by the previous government. 


The City is also looking at having a period of uncertainty in general in relation to the timeframe for the rail extension to Butler: people do not know when the extension may occur.  Perhaps it might involve considerably more than a three year delay?

 

The consequences of a minimum three year delay in the rail extension to Butler, and the uncertainty as to when the extension may occur, include:

 

1.       Residents in the areas around the site of the future Butler station who would have been able to start using that station in 2011/12, will now be having to travel for at least a further three years to the Clarkson station to the south to access train services.  For those driving to Clarkson station, this will mean additional carbon emissions from their vehicles, and additional fuel and vehicle maintenance costs.  There will also be increased demand for car parking at Clarkson, which is already operating at capacity, and may lead to commuter parking within the surrounding residential areas.

 

2.       Some residents may have been looking to walk or cycle to the Butler station and thereby be able to reduce the number of vehicles used by their household.  Such plans for vehicle reduction will be delayed, meaning extra household costs.

 

3.       House and land developers around the future Butler station site may choose to develop conventional residential land and housing products, rather than higher density products which would have been more marketable if the station was there by 2011/12.  This means less efficient use of land and resources, an increased rate of growth of the new urban areas, and less opportunity for more affordable housing products to be provided.

 

4.       The financial effects of 1,2 and 3 above all mean increased financial pressures upon residents in those areas, many who may already be under financial stress and other forms of social disadvantage.

 

5.       Delays in provision of the station also makes it more difficult to promote alternative forms of urban development which can involve a greater mix of land use, rather than conventional suburban development.

 

6.       The uncertainty associated with the rail extension means that the City and the developers will be unable to commit resources to build facilities to serve communities in and around stations.  This in turn may lead to short term planning solutions such as low density housing, where the City would expect higher density housing and limited services and facilities.  These communities would be socially disadvantaged compared to other areas with a full range of services and facilities.  The lack of commitment from State Government to deliver stations may also discourage other service providers from committing resources to the area.

 

7.       A key determinant in employers moving to new growth areas, such as Wanneroo, is the timely delivery of key infrastructure. Key infrastructure is a pre-requisite in enabling businesses to operate effectively and is fundamental to the decision-making processes for business investment into an area. In a global economy, a region's ability to compete to attract high-value strategic businesses is dependent on its ability to provide an environment conducive to business success.  The lack of key infrastructure places the region at a significant disadvantage.


Business attraction into an area that lacks basic infrastructure relies upon either lower land values that are a result of this, and/or land shortages at a more regional level, neither of which are strategies for long-term economic prosperity.  This is already apparent through the current employment self sufficiency level of the north west corridor, which is only 38 per cent, compared to the target of 72 per cent in the Corridor Structure Plan.  The ability of Wanneroo to rectify this issue is entirely dependent on it being able to compete effectively with other areas for business investment.  The provision of basic infrastructure is a pre-requisite for this investment. The delay in the rail extension will discourage employers from locating in the Corridor and will reduce the opportunity for people to live and work in the same area.

 

8.       The City’s dwelling stock is predominantly single storey family accommodation.  To diversify the housing mix the City’s Housing Strategy supports the provision of a range of housing types and sizes to meet the City’s demographic needs. Higher density apartment and town housing that will be more affordable is most likely to be delivered in and adjacent to activity centers adjacent to stations and this will not be provided if there is no guarantee of new stations in the Corridor.

 

9.       The City of Wanneroo is predominantly a very car dependent suburban community. The provision of no stations will result in residents continuing to be car dependent at a time when Government should be changing travel patterns to encouraging the use of viable public transport alternatives.

 

10.     The City will not now receive the $3 million (plus CPI) from State Government for the pre funding of the construction of the Hester Avenue bridge for the foreseeable future.

 

 

Additional considerations

 

a.       If Perth is to experience an economic downturn then State Government investment in infrastructure projects will alleviate some of the pressure an assist in retaining jobs.  Of all the Governments infrastructure projects (including road improvements around the airport, Northbridge link, Ellenbrook rail etc), the provision of a rail extension to Butler is the only one that can be built now.  All the other projects require master planning, which could take some time to complete.

 

b.       The City should be discussing with the major land developers in the north west corridor (Satterley’s, Landcorp, Tokyu Corporation, Eglinton Estates, Peet’s, Capricorn JV etc) about the possibility of pre-funding the railway design master planning to Alkimos and Yanchep.  This way, when the Government announces the results of their 20 Year Transport Master Plan there will not be a delay in then designing the rail line and construction can start immediately.
