Mayor Roberts declared the meeting open at 6:00pm and read the prayer.

 

Good evening Councillors, staff, ladies and gentlemen, we wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we are meeting on, the Whadjuk people.  We would like to pay respect to the Elders of the Nyoongar nation, past and present, who have walked and cared for the land and we acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contributions made to the life of this city and this region and I invite you to bow your head in prayer:

 

Lord, we ask for your blessing upon our City, our community and our Council.  Guide us in our decision making to act fairly, without fear or favour and with compassion, integrity and honesty.  May we show true leadership, be inclusive of all, and guide the City of Wanneroo to a prosperous future that all may share.  We ask this in your name. Amen

 

Manager Council and Corporate Support Natasha Smart made the following announcements:

Item  3      Public Question and Statement Time

PQ01-02/22       Mr K. White, Colin St, West Perth

MN03-02/22 Statement

 

1.         Mr White encouraged Councillors to support the recommendation to return $3,092,677.00 to Cell 1 land owners. Councillors were asked to recall previous submissions and note the refund would not create financial risk for the City. Mr White advised that Cell 1 had sufficient funds for the remaining two cell acquisition payments. Outstanding Payment 1 – POS credit was a fixed amount, with payment triggered when the land owner chose to subdivide. The same subdivision would also trigger additional revenue to Cell 1. Mr White’s calculation of lot yield concluded the net transaction to be revenue positive. Mr White stated that Outstanding Payment 2 for the acquisition of over 6000sq/m of public open space was tied to the purchase of the same site by the Department of Education for a primary school. The POS was to form a part of the primary school playing field. There was no compulsory acquisition required by the City, as it would be triggered by the Department of Education. Mr White had made a commitment to the City on behalf of the key land owners of Cell 1 including the Satterley Property Group and Peet Limited, that no further requests for prefunding the return of surplus funds would be made, rather that key landowners make themselves available to work collaboratively with the City to facilitate the timely closure of Cell 1 in its entirety. The value to be returned were funds that were collected over 10 years ago. Mr White expressed his thanks for the Report and respectfully asked for the collective support for the recommendation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PQ02-02/22       Mr L. Kosova, Wexford St, Subiaco

MN03-02/22 Statement

 

1.         Mr Kosova requested that Councillors give support to the Motion before them. Mr Kosova advised that the Motion acknowledges that the Cell 1 account balance had increased to over $5,000,000.00 as at 31 December 2021, which is $61,000.00 more than reported to Council when this item was last considered. The funding was considered sufficient to pay the refund, and cover all remaining Cell 1 costs which were previously reported to be $1,900,000.000. A surplus of almost $9,000.00 would be left without accounting for estimated future contribution income that could range from $1,690,000.00 to $3,380,000.00 together with interest earnings of around $50,000.00 to $70,000.00 per annum. Mr Kosova noted that whilst not specifically mentioned in the motion, it is worth recognising that the City has the power to control the timing of the remaining land acquisition and is under no compulsion to accelerate it any faster than the land owners affected would desire. Furthermore, the negotiated acquisition in both cases, would not come with the same risks, costs or issues and would not trigger the same concerns as would arise with a compensation. Both the remaining areas of acquisition were contained within land holdings that were within themselves possess further subdivision and development potential and therefore will trigger payment of contributions to offset the acquisition cost of the POS. Of these two POS areas, one is a historical POS credit which will be paid at a fixed amount, and the other adjoins a future school site which will first need to be acquired by the Education Department. Under this, the City is under no pressure to be the first mover in this acquisition.

Mr Kosova stated that Council could be assured that a further request for a return of funds would not be received.

 

PQ03-02/22       Mr H. Nguyen, The Broadview, Landsdale

Warradale Jetty Replacement Program and the Hartman/Kingsway Roundabout

 

1.         The Warradale Jetty Replacement Program was one that I advocated for during my term as a Councillor and is currently ongoing. In August 2021 Administration advised the project would be completed in December 2021. This has not occurred. Does the City consider it respectful, acceptable and professional to the ratepayers and the community in general, for a project that was anticipated by the community, and it is my understanding that there has been no update provided as to the reason for the delay.

 

Further Response by Director Assets

 

The Construction contract was awarded in July 2021 with works commencing in September and a completion date set for 17 December 2021. The project was delayed due to ground water rise. Works were recommenced in January and set to conclude in April 2022. The community were sent a notification letter in August 2021 notifying the works would start in September 2021 subject to environmental conditions and contractor availability.

 

The City’s contractor has now confirmed the revised completion date will be April 2022 and administration will communicate the latest project progress timelines and the reasons for a delayed start to the project to the community via a letter drop before the end of February 2022 and other appropriate communication channels.

 

 

 

 

 

2.         A request was made in 2020 for this and other roundabouts in the area to be cleared of vegetation due to sightline interference for motorists. To date, the roundabout on Kingsway and Hartman Drive has vegetation which is in excess of 1.2m high, which blocks motorist views. Is the City waiting for a fatality crash before it takes action on a fairly simple matter?

 

Response by Director Assets

 

It is understood that works have been carried out on a number of roundabouts, however, the roundabout will be reviewed and works will be scheduled.

 

Further Response by Director Assets

 

Administration confirms after undertaking several pruning services an examination of sightlines to the roundabout of Kingsway and Hartman Rd was undertaken; where it was confirmed the Scaevola crassifolia shrubs are obstructing motorist’s sightlines. City contractors will be removing the Scaevola crassifolia shrubs and formative pruning the Banksia trees to clear all sightline obstructions, with works to be completed by close of business Friday 4 March, 2022. During the 2022 Winter Planting Program, the roundabout will be planted with a low growing (prostrate form) Scaevola sp. ground cover to replace these shrubs and ensure no further impediments occur.

Item  5      Announcements by the Mayor without Discussion

OA01-02/22       Recognition of PHAWA Local Government Children's Policy Awards

Mayor Roberts stated that two awards had been received by the City of Wanneroo at the Local Government Children’s Policy Awards, hosted by the Public Health Advocacy Institute of WA. The City won the Young Children Making a Difference Award and the COVID-19 Recovery & Response category. 

 

 

Item  6      Questions from Council Members

CQ01-02/22       Extra water pooling at Warradale Park (Cr Natalie Herridge)

Cr Herridge queried whether Administration was aware of the excess and/or rising water level in Warradale and Broadview Parks in Landsdale that occurred over the winter months and whether a cause had been investigated.

Further Response by Director Assets

Administration is aware of the rising ground water level. After investigation, it has been determined that the ground water has risen in recent times which has caused water to remain in the swales surrounding the lake. These particular parks receive a considerable amount of water from a 150 Ha area surrounding the parklands. The action is to identify all outlets in those two parks and clean outlets and pipes. Some turf and soil will be removed from a swale to understand the causation of this change. A Consultant will undertake groundwater analysis in that area.

 

CQ02-02/22       Update City's Website (Cr Jordan Wright)

Cr Wright requested that the Chief Executive provide a commitment from Administration on the proposed upgrade of the City’s website.

Response by Chief Executive Officer

Administration is currently completing upgrades on the key operational software systems such as Finance, Payroll and Assets systems. The upgrade of the City’s Website has been allocated as a project for this and next financial year.

Further Response by Director Corporate Strategy and Performance

The Website has been considered within the budget, although it has not commenced due to other projects requiring resources. Once the Finance upgrade has been completed, Administration will commence the Website upgrade. The project will span across into next financial year and will go through various stages, including a procurement step. The Customer project will be running during this time as well, which will need to link to the website, so it is a good alignment of projects.

Further Response by Chief Executive Officer

Administration will schedule a workshop to offer Council Members with an opportunity to provide input into the functionality they would like to see in the upgraded website.

 

CQ03-02/22       Rapid antigen tests (Cr Linda Aitken)

Cr Aitken queried the legislative requirements of discarding used Rapid Antigen Tests, specifically, what process the standard advice from the City would be regarding the disposal of the used and potentially contagious medical waste. Are discards to go in recycling or landfill?

Response by Chief Executive Officer

Administration will seek advice from the State Government and provide an answer to Council.

Further Response by Chief Executive Officer

The details of Rapid Antigen Test disposal are contained within the Department of Health Consumer Fact Sheet which can be viewed here:

Background

On 5 July 2021, Taylor Burrell Barnett on behalf of Joanne Athans and John Richard Athans lodged Amendment No. 8 to ASP 13 for the City's consideration.

The amendment relates to Lot 40 (9) Rosslare Promenade, Mindarie (subject site), which is zoned Marina under District Planning Scheme No. 2 and Marina under ASP 13 with a residential density code of R20. A location plan is included as Attachment 1.

A memorandum was sent to all Council Members on 17 August 2021 notifying of Administration's intent to advertise Amendment No. 8 to ASP 13 under delegated authority.

Detail

Amendment No. 8 to ASP 13 proposes to recode the subject site from Marina R20 to Marina R40. In addition, the applicant is proposing to include built form provisions relating to the subject site to restrict the height of development and include an indicative building envelope based around the existing single dwelling on site.

It is noted that increasing the density code from R20 to R40 would increase the approximate number of apartments capable of being developed on-site from three units to 12 units.

Attachment 2 includes the existing and proposed Structure Plan Map, and draft built form provisions.

Consultation

In accordance with Clause 18 of the Deemed Provisions of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, the proposed amendment was advertised for public comment for a period of 42 days by means of an advertisement in the Wanneroo Times, notice on the City's website, letters to surrounding landowners and the placement of a sign on the subject lot.

The advertising period commenced on 26 August 2021 and closed on 8 October 2021 with seven submissions being received. One submission supported the proposal and six objected to the proposal.

The main issues raised in the submissions are as follows:

·        Increase in traffic and parking issues.

·        The density increase (which could allow for multiple dwellings) is not conducive to the peaceful and quiet suburban area and existing character of District 1 Harbourside Village, which consists of mainly single dwellings and has a unified appearance.

 

A summary of the submissions received, including Administration's response to those submissions is included as Attachment 3.

Comment

Local Planning Policy 3.1 – Local Housing Strategy Implementation

This amendment has been considered against the City’s Local Planning Policy 3.1 - Local Housing Strategy Implementation (LPP 3.1) Part 2 Other Infill Development, which provides guidance on the assessment of proposals seeking to increase housing density codes within the City of Wanneroo’s DPS 2 and structure plans.

In accordance with LPP 3.1, where the site is subject to an approved structure plan, the amendment must demonstrate how the proposal:

·        Is appropriate within the broader planning framework of the structure plan;

·        Satisfies one or more of the criteria outlined in Table 3 of the policy;

·        Supports objectives and recommendations of the City’s Local Housing Strategy.

 

An assessment of the above criteria is outlined below.

Appropriateness within the Broader Planning Framework of ASP 13

The subject site currently has a density code of R20. There is land located within the ASP 13 area which has a residential density code of R40, including land located to the west of the subject site, as shown in the location plan (Attachment 1). Therefore, it is acknowledged that the density is not out of character within the ASP 13 area.

Notwithstanding, the subject site is located within a street block of R20 coded lots. This amendment is proposing to ‘spot’ recode a single lot to a higher density. Such proposals are considered to be adhoc and inconsistent with the principles of orderly and proper planning under Clause 67(b) of the Deemed Provisions of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Scheme) Regulations 2015. If recoding were to be considered, it should be based on a broader area and should be undertaken in a comprehensive manner to ensure good design outcomes and consistency of approach to the planning of the area.

In addition, the R40 coding would also permit multiple dwellings which is inconsistent with the immediate surroundings in the same street block which have been developed as single dwellings. It is acknowledged that the amendment proposes site specific built form provisions, which is intended to control built form outcomes by restricting the height of future development to 7m (which could typically achieve a two storey building) and including a building envelope area similar to that of the existing single dwelling. However, the built form provisions also state that the building height and building envelope area can be varied through a development application, and therefore is unable to ensure future development would be consistent with its surroundings.

Given the above, Administration considers the amendment to recode this singular lot to R40 is not appropriate within the planning framework of ASP 13.

Assessment against Table 3 of LPP 3.1

An assessment of the application against the provisions of Table 3 of LPP 3.1 is outlined in the table below.

No.

Criterion

Policy Provision

Administration Comments

1

Close proximity to Activity Centres

This criterion has been applied based on walkable distances as follows:

a)  R60 within 400m from an edge of an Activity Centre excluding Local Centres.

b)  R40 between 401m and 800m from an edge of Activity Centre excluding Local Centres.

The subject site is located approximately 1.1km to Mindarie Local Centre and 1.1km to Clarkson Activity Centre. While it is located 400m from the Mindarie Marina, this is not classified as an activity centre and is not applicable. As such, this does not satisfy criterion 1.

2

Close proximity to public transport

This criterion has been applied based on walkable distances as follows:

a)   R80 within 250m from the entry of a rail station and R60 between 401m and 800m from the entry of a rail station;

b)   R60 within 250m of a high frequency bus route designated stops (‘High Frequency Bus Routes’ are defined as having a minimum of 4 services per hour during peak periods).pp

This criterion relates to R60 and R80 coded lots only. Notwithstanding, the subject site is not within close proximity to a rail station and is approximately 500m to the nearest bus stop on Rothesay Heights and Ocean Falls Boulevard which is a high frequency bus route. Given the above, this does not satisfy criterion 2.

In light of the above, the proposed amendment does not meet any of the criteria outlined in Table 3 of LPP 3.1.

Assessment against the Objectives and Recommendations of the LHS

The City’s Local Housing Strategy 2005 (LHS) provides strategic direction relating to the future housing needs of the City and guides the City on the management of development applications and rezoning proposals to ensure appropriate and sustainable housing development. The LHS includes a number of objectives and recommendations, with the full list of objectives included as Attachment 4.

The proposed increase in density could satisfy some of these objectives such as providing a range of housing choice and could potentially be designed in a manner that is innovative, cost-effective and well designed for all ages and abilities, including incorporating universal design principles.

However, Objective (d) and recommendations of the LHS state that the higher densities should be considered in areas with easy access to, and/or within close proximity to public transport routes, major arterial routes, retail and employment centres, public open space and recreational facilities, educational institutions and community facilities. In addition, recommendation 9.2.1(d) of the LHS states that the City of Wanneroo will be guided by the following density settings:

·        12-20 dwelling units/site hectare general residential neighbourhoods;

·        20-30 dwelling units/site hectare within 250 metres of main bus routes and 400 metres of small neighbourhood centres;

·        30-40 dwelling units/site hectare within 400 metres of large neighbourhood centres;

·        40 dwelling units/site hectare within 800 metres, and 60 dwelling units/site hectare within 200 metres of train stations and bus stations; and

·        40 dwelling units/site hectare within 800 metres of town centres.

 

LPP 3.1 was prepared for implementing the recommendations contained within the LHS. Part 2 Other Infill Development and Table 3 of LPP 3.1 have been informed by the above objective and density settings recommendation. As assessed in the table above, the subject site does not satisfy any of the criteria to support an R40 density. Furthermore, Part 1 Housing Precincts of LPP 3.1 outlines five housing precincts (Wanneroo, Koondoola, Girrawheen, Yanchep and Two Rocks) which have been recommended within the LHS for increased residential density. Mindarie is not one of these suburbs. Rather, the LHS recommends Mindarie to fall within the ‘existing suburbs’ typology where most residential areas are coded R20 and should continue to afford protection of existing lifestyles.

Given the above, the proposed amendment is contrary to the objectives and recommendations of the LHS.

Strategic Planning Framework

The Perth and Peel @ 3.5million is a land use planning and infrastructure strategy aiming to accommodate 3.5m million people by 2050. The framework defines the urban form for the next 30 years including limiting urban sprawl and encouraging housing diversity to meet changing community needs. Perth and Peel @ 3.5million acknowledges the need for infill development within established urban areas and provides 10 urban consolidation principles to guide infill development, including having good access to activity centres, located along transit corridors, and be in close proximity to public transport to allow for a highly connected community.

In addition, the North-West Sub-Regional Planning Framework builds upon the Perth and Peel @3.5 million and forms a comprehensive planning strategy of the North-West region which the City of Wanneroo is located within. The North-West Sub-Regional Planning Framework includes a key planning principle to achieve ‘consolidated urban form’ with the objective of creating sustainable communities and the consolidation of urban areas through efficient use of land. This is intended to be achieved through prioritising increased densities and accommodating projected growth within under-utilised land capable of being serviced with the required infrastructure, is located in proximity to activity centres, transit corridors and areas of high amenity.

As the proposed amendment and subject site is not located within close proximity to the City’s activity centres, transit corridors and/or high frequency public transport, it is inconsistent with the urban-infill principles of the North-West Sub-Regional Planning Framework and the overall strategic planning direction of the state planning framework.

The City is also in the process of preparing a Local Planning Strategy (LPS) to inform a new Local Planning Scheme. The LPS is a high level strategic document that will set out the framework for local planning and development within City of Wanneroo. As part of the LPS, housing needs and infill development will be considered holistically within the document to achieve the key principles and objectives within the North-West Sub-Regional Planning Framework and Perth and Peel @ 3.5milion, and guide any changes to residential densities within the City of Wanneroo where appropriate.

Precedence

The amendment is proposing to ‘spot’ recode a single lot to a higher density. If this amendment were to be supported, it would set an undesirable precedent and could result in a proliferation of spot recoding in areas in an unplanned manner which could change the overall character of an area. Administration does not support the proposal as it is adhoc and inconsistent with the principles of orderly and proper planning. Increasing housing densities should be considered strategically and in the context of the broader planning framework, and this will be undertaken as part of the City’s preparation of the LPS.

Conclusion

Proposed Amendment No. 8 to ASP 13 at Lot 40 (9) Rosslare Promenade, Mindarie has been assessed against the relevant provisions of DPS 2, LPP 3.1 and considered against the broader strategic planning framework. The proposal does not satisfy the criteria to increase the housing density to R40 as outlined within LPP 3.1, and is contrary to the objectives and recommendations of the LHS, Perth and Peel @ 3.5million, and the North-West Sub-Regional Planning Framework. Furthermore, this amendment is proposing to ‘spot’ recode a single lot to a higher density which is adhoc and inconsistent with the principles of orderly and proper planning, and if supported, would set an undesirable precedent. Therefore, it is recommended that the proposed amendment not be supported.

Statutory Compliance

This application has been processed in accordance with the City of Wanneroo’s District Planning Scheme No. 2.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

5 ~ A well planned, safe and resilient City that is easy to travel around and provides a connection between people and places

5.1 - Develop to meet current need and future growth

 

Risk Management Considerations

There are no existing Strategic or Corporate risks within the City's existing risk registers which relate to the issues contained in this report.

Policy Implications

Administration’s assessment of the proposed amendment has been undertaken in accordance the City’s Local Planning Policy 3.1 - Local Housing Strategy Implementation.

Issue

To consider adopting the Fencing Local Law 2021 (Local Law).

 

Background

The existing Fencing Local Law was made in 2016 and in that time it has been identified that some provisions of the local law are not working well. As a result, proposed amendments have been made through the Fencing Local Law 2021, presented to Council at its meeting of 12 October 2021.

Most matters relating to ‘dividing fences’ are dealt with by the Dividing Fences Act 1961, which in essence provides for property owners to build and maintain (by agreement) fences which separate their adjoining lots. 

Amongst other things, the Dividing Fences Act 1961 provides:-

·        That owners are liable (in equal shares) for the costs of erection and maintenance of a dividing fence;

·        A process to decide what is to be built or repaired in the event that owners cannot agree; and

·        That a local government may prescribe (by a local law) what constitutes a ‘sufficient fence’ in relation to a dividing fence or a boundary fence.

 

The main role for local government is to prescribe what is considered to be a ‘sufficient fence’ in the event that owners cannot agree, and to regulate some general matters.

Detail

The draft Fencing Local Law 2021 was advertised for public comment for the duration of the statutory advertising period (not less than six weeks after the notice was given) and submissions closed on 10 January 2022. One submission was received from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSCI) and relates to minor matters that do not alter the intent of the local law. Another submission was received from a member of the public. Details of the submissions and relevant Administration comments are included below.

Consultation

The feedback received from the DLGSCI is summarised below –

No.

Clause

Administration Comment

1

4.1

Use of Australian Standards

Clause 4.1 of the local law refers to Australian Standards. These documents are commercial in nature and not always publicly accessible. While the Delegated Legislation Committee has allowed the use of Australian Standards, this is on the condition that:

(a)  Up to date references are used;

(b)  The full title of each standard must be used at least once, either in the applicable clause or in the interpretation area; and

(c)  The local government’s website should specify where these standards can be freely viewed.

It is suggested that clause 4.1 is amended accordingly and keep in mind the final point when the law is tabled with the Committee.

This clause has been amended to include a generic reference any applicable Australian Standards.

2

 

Boxed References

The draft local law currently contains a large number of boxes containing extracts from the Local Government Act 1995.

The Delegated Legislation Committee has raised concerns with this practice in the Committee’s 23rd Report. This is because:

·    The references have no legal effect in themselves; and

·    The references will become misleading if the part of the Act is amended.

It is suggested that the boxed references should be deleted from the gazette version of the local law. In the event that the City chooses to maintain a public version of the local law in hard copy or electronic format, the City can choose to retain the references for the benefit of readers.

The boxed references will be removed from the gazetted version of the local law.

1

Head of Power

The Delegated Legislation Committee has concluded that while the Dividing Fences Act makes references to local laws, the power to make these local laws is entirely provided by the Local Government Act 1995.

It is suggested that the references to the Dividing Fences Act should be removed from the title clause and the enacting provision.

Agreed and references to the Dividing Fences Act 1961 have been removed.

4

2.3(1)(a)

Fencing within the front setback area

It is suggested that clause 2.3(1)(a) be deleted.

The Delegated Legislation Committee has concluded that local laws should not be used to punish people for failing to comply with a planning scheme. If a scheme has been breached, this should be addressed using the enforcement mechanisms available under the Planning and Development Act 2005.If this change is implemented, the penalty under Schedule 4 will also need to be deleted.

This clause has been deleted.

5

2.7 (c)

Gates in fences

This clause is unusual, since property owners would have a common law right to access their land by vehicle and this right of access would not normally require a local government’s approval. The City may wish to review this subclause and determine whether it is necessary

 

This clause has been deleted.

Administration Comment

2.1(1)(b)

Dividing Fences

This requires greater definition. In a scenario where neighbours are in dispute, or subsequently withdraw their agreement, this clause, with the use of the word “anything”, could apply to any attachment even if it did not cross into the adjoining lot or cause any loss or amenity whatsoever. Something as simple as a trellis attached to the fence.

It is not proposed to amend the local law.  The Building Commissions Dividing Fences Guide states:-:

 

“An adjoining owner is not permitted to paint, render or attach anything (such as pot plants, clotheslines and basketball hoops) to the wall without the permission of the owner of the wall” (Page 17).

 

Although this refers to a boundary wall the intent is not to attach anything to a dividing fence without the neighbour’s approval. 

 

Attaching anything to a dividing fence potentially affects its structural integrity and may impact on future maintenance.  The maintenance of a dividing fence is the responsibility of both adjoining neighbours.

 

2

2.2(1)(b)

Sufficient fence

This clause appears to prohibit the erection of an open fence using metal posts. These are common around the City as front fences. This should be further clarified.

The submitter’s comments refer to a front fence and this clause of the local law deals only with a dividing fence.  It is not proposed to change the local law.

4

2.6(4)

Prohibited fencing materials

As a standalone clause, this is contrary to the principals of re-use and recycle. Further, how is the satisfaction of the local government to (be) obtained, and especially before the fence is built? What are the specification that must be met so a person knows before spending money on a fence, possibly thousands of dollars? Further, how would this clause work in the construction of a rural fence with posts and wire? This clause needs refinement as to the type and circumstances of the use of pre-used material.

No changes are proposed.  This clause does not warrant detailed specifications.  It is designed to prevent residents from using inappropriate materials that are not in keeping with the amenity and it is recommended that residents liaise with Council prior to commencing construction.

Comment

Administration recommends that Council make the Fencing Local Law 2021 as at Attachment 1. The agenda and minutes of the Ordinary Council meeting at which the local law is considered must include the purpose and effect of the proposed local law, which are set out below.

Purpose:

To detail the requirements for a ‘sufficient fence’ (for the purposes of the Dividing Fences Act 1961) and to prescribe the materials to be used and safety measures to be undertaken in relation to some types of fencing.

Effect:

Fencing within the district will need to comply with the definition of a ‘sufficient fence’ as stipulated in the Local Law.

Statutory Compliance

Local Government Act 1995:  Section 3.12: Procedure for making local laws.

Dividing Fences Act 1961.

 

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

7 ~ A well governed and managed City that makes informed decisions, provides strong community leadership and valued customer focused services

7.1 - Clear direction and decision making

 

Risk Management Considerations

There are no existing Strategic or Corporate risks within the City's existing risk registers which relate to the issues contained in this report.

Policy Implications

Introduction of the New Local Law will allow the City to continue to regulate fencing within the statutory framework set out in the Dividing Fences Act 1961.

Financial Implications

The costs associated with making the Local Law, including advertising and gazettal have been included in the budget for the current financial year.

Issue

To adopt the City’s Community Development Plan 2021/22 – 2025/26.

Background

The draft Community Development Plan 2021/22 – 2025/26 (CDP) was presented to Council in December 2021 where it was resolved to be released for public comment.

The City currently has six separate community development related plans as below that were due for review:

·        Access & Inclusion Plan 2018/19 – 2021/22

·        Age Friendly Plan 2017/18 – 2020/21

·        Early Childhood Plan 2017/18 – 2020/21

·        Youth Plan 2018/19 – 2020/21

·        Reconciliation Action Plan 2018/19-2021/22

·        Regional Homelessness Plan 2018/19-2021/22

 

An extensive community and stakeholder engagement process was undertaken using community focus groups, a Community Wellbeing survey and targeted questions within the consultation from the City’s new Strategic Community Plan.  Synergies between different cohorts were acknowledged with focus groups recommending an integrated approach, specifically related to four of the six social plans, these being:

·        Access & Inclusion Plan 2018/19 – 2021/22 (AIP)

·        Age Friendly Plan 2017/18 – 2020/21 (AFP)

·        Early Childhood Plan 2017/18 – 2020/21 (ECP)

·        Youth Plan 2018/19 – 2020/21 (YP)

 

It was also recommended that the Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and the Regional Homelessness Plan (RHP) remain as separate plans as both plans have specific areas of focus.

The CDP aims to provide a framework and plan that supports the creation of healthy, active, safe and connected communities recognising the City’s diverse community, in age and cultures. It provides a whole-of-City plan that enables an integrated community approach to delivering these outcomes, whilst continuing to maintain a strong focus on the uniqueness and needs of specific cohorts.

 

Detail

The draft CDP was made available for public comment, for a four week period, between 9 December 2021 and 5 January 2022.  General feedback was sought with reference being made to the change to a whole-of-community approach which is inclusive of all people, while also recognising diversity.

The final draft of the CDP (Attachment 1) is now presented for Council endorsement. 

As the CDP will be superseding the current Access and Inclusion Plan 2018/19 – 2021/22 (AIP), the Multicultural Advisory Group (MAG) Terms of Reference, which make reference to the AIP, have been updated (Attachment 2) to reference the new Community Development Plan and has been amended to a format consistent with other Advisory Groups. Accordingly, Council endorsement of the attached draft MAG Terms of Reference is sought. 

Consultation

The consultation was published on the City’s ‘Your Say’ page, supported by a social media campaign, inclusive of paid boosted posts for higher visibility. The Facebook post was viewed by 13,816 people with 436 engagements including 13 shares and 52 link clicks.

Additionally, direct communications were sent to 116 stakeholders and community groups that were involved with the initial consultation process. This included the City’s Disability Access and Inclusion Reference Group, Multicultural Advisory Group and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Reference Group members.   

The CDP ‘Your Say’ consultation portal received 710 views from 258 unique visitors.  There were five responses received (Attachment 5). Two comments voiced the opinion that City residents do not require community plans and that they would prefer to see money spent on roads, rubbish, parks and verges. The other three comments expressed concerns that funding a multicultural festival was not a priority for the City of Wanneroo.

Comment

The following response is provided to comments made that residents do not require community plans and that they would prefer to see money spent on roads, rubbish, parks, verges etc.

 

·        To meet the purpose of the City’s Strategic Community Plan 2021-2031 to: ‘create a strong community with local opportunities to participate, be active, feel secure, contribute and belong’, plans such as the CDP are required to have a strategic, planned approach to this work.

·        Globally, risks associated with a lack of social cohesion, inequality and social disruption have become increasingly recognised particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (for example see the World Economic Forum report Global Risks 2021: Fractured Future). This has been recognised by the City through the inclusion of resilient and productive communities as a strategic risk during a recent review of strategic and corporate risks. The CDP and associated actions supports the mitigation of these risks and provides strategies to promote community connection, inclusion and wellbeing and build a culture of participation, collaboration and leadership in the community.

·        Additionally, the City is required to comply with the WA Disability Services Act 1993 and in particular, requirements for Local Governments to address access and inclusion planning detailed within the Disability Services Regulations 2004. This requirement is addressed through the proposed CDP and has been endorsed by the Department of Communities.

 

The following response is provided to comments made that funding a multicultural festival was not a priority for the City of Wanneroo.

·        In response to the significant number of people from multicultural backgrounds residing and having connection with the City of Wanneroo, the City hosted a multicultural festival in 2020 that attracted approximately 8,000 attendees. The event was well received, with many community members commenting that they would like to see the event repeated.  This is one way in which the City can continue to recognise and celebrate its diverse community.

Taking the above into consideration, no amendments to the draft CDP have been recommended.

Following adoption by Council, the CDP will be designed aligned to the City’s corporate branding.

The Terms of Reference for the MAG require updating to align to the proposed new CDP and a format consistent with other Advisory Groups.  The updated Terms of Reference are recommended for Council approval. 

Statutory Compliance

As noted above, the City is required to comply with the WA Disability Services Act 1993 and in particular requirements for Local Governments for access and inclusion planning and outcome areas detailed within the Disability Services Regulations 2004 (Schedule 2 Standards for disability access and inclusion plans). These include provision for equal opportunities regarding access to services, events, buildings, and facilities; information in accessible formats; access to the same level and quality of services; a complaints process; and reducing barriers to obtaining and maintaining employment with the City. The draft CDP adheres to these requirements as confirmed by Department of Communities.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

7 ~ A well governed and managed City that makes informed decisions, provides strong community leadership and valued customer focused services

To consider petition PT01-11/21 seeking upgrades and repairs to the skate park at Grandis Park, Banksia Grove.

 

Background

At the November 2021 Ordinary Council Meeting, petition PT01-11/21 was received from residents seeking upgrades and repairs to the skate park at Grandis Park, Banksia Grove (the Park). An update to the petition was presented to the December 2021 Ordinary Council Meeting.

Grandis Park (Attachment 1) is located at 2 Grandis Boulevard, Banksia Grove and is located within the approved structure plan 21a. The Park is approximately 5.99ha and is classified as a Neighbourhood (Recreation) Park with a reserve purpose of public recreation. However, combined with the adjacent Department of Education oval, the entire site has the capacity to act as a District level reserve under the functionality requirements of Local Planning Policy 4.3 (LPP 4.3).

The Park has a pavilion, soccer goals, sports field floodlighting (50 lux), play equipment, skate park, internal path network, shade and barbeque facilities provided. The current skate park has an approximate footprint of 750m2 and is located at the north west corner. The skate area (Attachment 2), constructed in 2018 consists of the following items:

·        Skate aspects;

·        Picnic shelter and barbeque;

·        Three picnic tables and seats;

·        Seven park seats; and

·        Playground.

 

Up until 17 December 2021, the maintenance responsibilities for the Park were conducted by Banksia Grove Development Nominees Pty Ltd (the Developer), however this responsibility has since been transferred to the City.

Other existing skate parks within the City include:

Detail

Petition PT01-11/21 specifically states the following:

1.       Seating to be situated in a safe distance near and around the skate park bowl where the garden bed is now. This will give all spectators and enthusiasts a better view and will allow more seating;

2.       An extension of the concrete around the bowl needs to be extended out into the garden bed area as this will allow us to safely have a better landing instead of landing into the dirt and will prevent further injuries from happening;

3.       Request for concrete surface repairs to all damaged areas; This will stop our front wheels from landing into these damaged areas and causing any further injuries and damage to our scooters and skateboards;

4.       Everyone at Banksia Grove Skate Park that I have spoken to have all agreed that a fixed lighting tower or equal too will allow us all to enjoy Banksia Grove Skate Park. As the seasons change so does our riding times. This will allow us to skate safely at night or early mornings which ever.

 

The petition contains 48 signatures, of which 35 signatories reside within the City of Wanneroo, and 13 from outside of the City.

With regards to the requests, the provision of facility infrastructure is governed by LPP 4.3.

Consultation

To date, no community consultation has occurred. If required, consultation will occur in line with the City’s Community Engagement Policy.

Comment

Each request is specifically addressed below:

Request for Seating

Currently, seven park bench seats and three picnic shelters are located to the east of the skate park, each with a minimum of five metres of run off distance which is considered safe and appropriate. As the Park is considered a Neighbourhood Sports POS, the number of park benches allowable under LPP 4.3 is six, and a maximum of four picnic shelters. Under the policy, another picnic shelter is permissible, however there is an over-provision of park benches, which are all concentrated within the skate park area.

Investigations into the feasibility of locating additional infrastructure to the west of the skate park have highlighted a number of difficulties, namely the gradient that slopes from the skate park down to the adjacent footpath, and environmental constraints. To allow for a safe and appropriate run off distance, the seating should be located at a minimum five metres from the edge of the skate park. To achieve this on the west side would be difficult as the vegetated area slopes from the edge of concrete down to the footpath adjacent to Pinjar Road. This would require earthworks to locate the seats in this location. The vegetation within this area includes both remnant vegetation that has regrown and endemic vegetation planted under subdivision conditions.

It is advised that a vegetation assessment of the project area would need to be completed. A vegetation assessment usually consists of both a Biological Survey and Environmental Considerations Report. These reports will identify the types of vegetation at the site, and thus provide a pathway for the City to determine what approvals/permits (if any) may be required. It is standard for projects of this nature to ensure that the existing (or future vegetation) is not negatively impacted by the works. Ultimately, the assessment will determine whether the City needs to apply for a clearing permit for the site.

Extension of the Concrete around the Bowl

The skate park, constructed in 2018 has an approximate footprint of 750m2. The skate park in its entirety was designed by Emerge Associates who have experience in landscape architecture and design.

The concrete edge, or buffer around the bowl section is approximately 1.5m – 2.0m in width and fully encloses this section of the park, other than the transition at the north end of the bowl. Other than a decorative rock at the south end, this section is free from obstructions.  The buffer zone itself is typical of parks with a bowl, and matches the run off buffer distances at the Wanneroo skate park. The concrete buffer of the entire skate park is shown at Attachment 3.

The bowl, located at the south of the park is bound by a concrete path and benches to the east, grass to the south and vegetation to the south and west. The petition requests an extension to the concrete buffer by the garden bed, which is the south west corner of the bowl. As per the request for the seating, any extension into the vegetated area may require the City to apply for a clearing permit. In addition, any extension of the concrete buffer in this area would need to consider the slope of that vegetated area.

To date, the City has not received any reports of issues with the buffer. Administration is able to monitor for any reports and may consider any modifications to the buffer zone if required.

Concrete Surface Repairs

The responsibility for the maintenance of Grandis Park was under the control of the Developer until 17 December 2021 after which it was handed over to the City. As a result of the hand over, the skate park has now been included on the City’s maintenance schedule. Prior to hand over, a visual inspection by City staff on 17 November 2021 did not uncover areas of concern, and the concrete appeared to be in an appropriate condition without evidence of damage to the surface.

Request for Lighting

Under the City’s Sport Floodlighting Policy, the lighting of skate parks can be supported. The lighting would be to 100 lux utilising LED lighting. To date, four of the City’s nine skate parks are lit with varying levels of lighting, with the two most recent installations being Wanneroo (2018) and Marangaroo (2019).

Based on previous installations the lighting would require the following:

·        Community engagement;

·        Design and documentation by a qualified consultant;

·        Trenching and/or directional drilling for the installation of conduit and cabling;

·        Installation of ~15m poles with LED luminaires; and

·        Timer control by push button (with the lighting to be automatically switched off no later than 10pm).

Including design, documentation and construction, it is estimated that the works would cost approximately $170,000 which is dependent on the amount of cabling and ground conditions present. Alternate solutions such as solar lighting are not considered feasible due to the inability of the solar lighting to provide sufficient illumination to reach 100 lux lighting to the required area.

The closest property boundaries are approximately 50m away from the skate park, which would need to be considered by the consultant to ensure that the lighting adheres to the requirements of the AS4282:2019, which limits the effects of the obtrusive lighting on nearby properties.

It is suggested that community engagement is conducted to determine the level of support for floodlighting, with the results to be presented to Council for consideration. A lighting concept plan will be developed to inform the community engagement process. The complete process is expected to take approximately four months following Council approval. If the provision of floodlights is supported, detailed design and cost estimates would be prepared for consideration in a future budget process.

Issue

To consider required amendments to the Animals Local Law (the Local Law) to comply with a direction from the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation (JSCDL)

 

Background

The City of Wanneroo (the City) adopted the Animals Local Law 2021 on 12 October 2021 (CE01-10/21) (Attachment 1). The Local Law was subsequently gazetted on 27 October 2021 (GG182/2021) and an Explanatory Memorandum provided to the JSCDL on
4 November 2021 as required by the legislative local law making process.

The JSCDL is a committee of the Western Australian Parliament consisting of eight members, with equal representation from the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly.

The JSCDL wrote to the City on 15 December 2021 requesting that the:

1.       City undertake to amend its Local Law within the next six months; and

2.       Mayor write to the JSCDL confirming that the Council has resolved to give the undertakings. 

 

Apart from a minor typographical change, the requested amendments apply to the requirement for ‘Council’ to make decisions relating to determinations, as opposed to the ‘local government’ and therefore removing the ability for decisions relating to determinations to be delegated.

Once a local law is gazetted, it is referred to the committee to consider under its terms of reference.  Where the JSCDL finds that a local law offends one or more of its terms of reference, it will usually seek a written undertaking from the local government to amend or repeal the instrument in question.

Where a local government does not comply with the JSDCL’s request for an undertaking, the JSDCL may, as a last resort, resolve to report to the Parliament recommending the disallowance of the instrument in the Legislative Council.

Detail

Clause 3.5 of the Local Law provides a determination mechanism allowing a decision to be made to set aside a reserve or foreshore as a horse exercise area by the local government. In legislation (included subsidiary delegated legislation including local laws), where the word/s:

1.       ‘local government’ are used for the decision maker, the decision may be delegated by Council to the CEO (and on-delegated by the CEO); and

2.       ‘Council’ is used for the decision maker, the decision making power can only be exercised by a resolution of Council and cannot be delegated.  

 

Notwithstanding that other local government local laws, the WALGA model local laws and even some of the City’s other local locals allow for determination decisions to be delegated, the JSCDL’s current position is that the Local Government Act 1995 (Act) authorises local government councils to make local laws, it does not authorise legislative powers to be exercised by City employees.  This clause as currently worded, effectively allows the sub-delegation of the exercise of law making (legislative) powers.

The typographical errors relate to Items 24 and 25 of the Schedule specifically clauses 4.3(1) and 4.3(2) which should be 4.3(2) and 4.3(3). 

Consultation

The local government is to give local public notice stating that it proposes to make an amendment local law, the purpose and effect of which is summarised in the notice and provide a copy of the proposed local law at locations specified in the notice.  Section 1.7 of the Act states that the notice must be given in at least three of the ways prescribed. The notice will be published on the City’s website, on the City’s notice boards at the Civic Centre and all libraries and published in Perth Now – Wanneroo.

Submissions about the proposed local law may be made to the local government before a day to be specified in the notice, being a day that is not less than six weeks after the notice is given and as soon as the notice is given, is to provide a copy of the proposed local law and a copy of the notice to the Minister.

Comment

The JSCDL requires that Council provide an undertaking to amend its local law within six months and where the local law is made publically available by the City, whether in hard copy or electronic form, ensure that a copy of the undertaking accompanies it.

To progress the JSCDL’s directive an amendment local law has been drafted for Council’s consideration and is provided at Attachment 2.

The agenda and the minutes of the Ordinary Council meeting at which the local law is considered is to include the purpose and effect of the proposed local law, which are set out below.

          Purpose

The purpose of this local law is to amend the City of Wanneroo Animals Local Law 2021.

Effect

The effect of this local law is to amend the requirement that Council make a determination rather than the local government and to correct typographical errors in Schedule 1, items 24 and 25. 

Statutory Compliance

Section 3.12 of the Act prescribes the procedures for making and finalising the process of adopting Local Laws.

Whilst the Act does not expressly prescribe a time frame in which the procedural requirements for making local laws are to be completed, the procedures should be undertaken with “all convenient speed’ in line with the Interpretations Act 1984.

 

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

7 ~ A well governed and managed City that makes informed decisions, provides strong community leadership and valued customer focused services

7.1 - Clear direction and decision making

 

Risk Management Considerations

There are no existing Strategic or Corporate risks within the City's existing risk registers which relate to the issues contained in this report.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The cost of giving public notice, advertising and gazettal is met through an operational budget.

Background

In accordance with Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996, the Financial Activity Statement has been prepared in compliance with the following:

“Regulation 34(1) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996, which requires a local government to prepare a statement of financial activity each month, presented according to nature and type, by program, or by business unit. For the 2021/22 financial year the statement of financial activity will be presented by nature and type.

Regulation 34(5) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996, which 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 2021/22 financial year, 10% and a value greater than $100,000 will be used for the reporting of variances.”

Detail

Council adopted the Annual Budget for the 2021/22 financial year on 29 June 2021 (SCS01-06/21). The figures in this report are compared to the adopted budget.

Overall Comments Month to Date

Results from Operations

The Financial Activity Statement report for the month of November 2021 shows an overall unfavourable variance from Operations (before Non-Operating Revenue and Expenses) of $9.7m.

The unfavourable variance is mainly due to Year to Date Depreciation expenses posted in the month of November due to delay in rollover of financial accounts from 2020/2021 financial year, partially offset by the lower Material and Contracts Expenses.

 

Capital Program

During November 2021, $4.4m was spent on various capital projects of which $2.9m was spent on Corporate Fleet Management, Sporting Facilities and IT Equipment & Software. (Refer to Attachment 3 for further details).

Overall Comments on Year to Date (YTD) Figures

Results from Operations

The Financial Activity Statement report for the year to date 30 November 2021 shows an overall favourable variance from Operations (before Non-Operating Revenue and Expenses) of $10.3m.

The YTD favourable variance is due to higher Operating Grants and Interest Earnings Income and underspends in Employee Costs, Materials & Contracts, Utility Charges, and Depreciation.

Capital Program

At the end of November 2021, $17.0m was expended on various capital projects of which $3.6m was spent on Fleet Management, $3.3m on Sports Facilities, $2.8m on Roads, $1.7m on IT Equipment & Software, $1.1m on Parks Furniture and a further $1.2m on Waste Management (Refer Attachment 4 for Top Capital Projects 2021/22).

The unfavourable variance of $2.4m is mainly due to Capital Grants received from Commonwealth Government, however relevant performance obligations have not been met as per the (AASB) 1058 explained above.

Note 10      Non Operating Contract Expenses

Month to Date – (Actual $0.0m, Adopted Budget $0.0m)

Not Applicable.

Year to Date – (Actual $14.2m, Adopted Budget $0.0m)

The unfavourable variance of $14.2m is due to timing difference of the payment related to Resource Recovery Buyback from Mindarie Regional Council.

Note 11      Profit / Loss on Asset Disposals

Month to Date – (Combined Actual $342k, Combined Adopted Budget $139k)

The favourable variance of $203k is attributed to sale of land of $189k, disposal of vehicles of $8k, and disposal of IT equipment of $6k.

Year to Date – (Combined Actual $996k, Combined Adopted Budget $3.0m)

The variance is unfavourable by $2.0m mainly attributed to delay in disposal of the land of $3.0m, partially offset by the delays disposal of plant & equipment of $1.0m.

Note 12      Share of Loss of Associates

Month to Date – (Actual $49.9k, Adopted Budget $0.0k)

The unfavourable variance of $49.9k is an adjustment to Mindarie Regional Council Investment, due to restatement of equity balance of Mindarie Regional Council, as an outcome from adoption of Australian Accounting Standard (AASB) 1059 Service Concession Arrangements: Grantors.

Year to Date – (Actual $49.9k, Adopted Budget $0.0k)

The unfavourable variance of $49.9k as explained above.

Note 13      TPS & DCP Revenues

Month to Date – (Actual $1.3m, Adopted Budget $1.6m)

The unfavourable variance of $355k is due to lower Headwork Levy Income from cells.

Year to Date – (Actual $2.9m, Adopted Budget $3.8m)

The unfavourable variance of $824k is due to lower Cash Capital Contribution Income of $835k partially offset by higher Town Planning Schemes Interest Income of $4k and Reserve Interest Income of $7k.

Note 14      TPS & DCP Expenses

Month to Date – (Actual $916k, Adopted Budget $13.1m)

The favourable variance is due to lower Contract Expenses of $12.1m.

Year to Date – (Actual $1.2m, Adopted Budget $14.1m)

The favourable variance of $12.9m is due to lower Contract Expenses.

Statement of Financial Position (Attachment 2)

 

 

Note 1 - Net Current Assets

When compared to the opening position as at 30 June 2021, Net Current Assets have increased by $102m, which is predominately due to levying of 2021/22 Rates and Waste Service Fees in July 2021.

Current Assets movements mainly consist of an increase in Current Receivables of $41m and a net increase of Investments and Cash of $60m.

Note 2 - Non-Current Assets

Non-Current Assets as at 30 November 2021 have decreased by $1.0m from 30 June 2021 Actuals. The movement is due to accumulated depreciation of $12.3m and decrease in Investments of $3.2m partially offset by an increase in Receivables of $3.9m and an increase in Work in Progress of $10.6m.

Note 3 - Non-Current Liabilities

Non-Current Liabilities as at 30 November 2021 have decreased by $62k which is due to movement in provisions and the interest bearing liabilities.

The existing loan with the Western Australia Treasury Corporation remains unchanged making up 40% of total Non-Current Liabilities. The balance 60% consists of various other loans, provisions and payables.

Financial Performance Indicators

The table below presents data on relevant financial ratios, comparing the minimum standard expected as per the DLGSCI status at the year to date figures, and at the same period of the last year.

A green highlight is used where the minimum standard is met or exceeded. Highlighted in red is below the standard (where relevant).

The asset ratios will be published as part of the Statutory Financial Statements.

Capital Works Program

The status of the Capital Works Program is summarised by Sub-Program in the table below:

During November 2021, $4.4m was spent. Details of significant expenditure for the month are included in Attachment 3. Up to 30 November 2021, the City has spent $17m, which represents 19.9% of the $85.1m Capital Works Revised Budget.

The City’s forecast spend of $69.8m represents 82% of the 2021/22 revised budget.

To further expand on the Capital Works Program information above, updates in key capital projects are selected to be specifically reported on, is provided in the Top Capital Projects attachment to this report (Attachment 4).

Investment Portfolio (Attachment 5)

In accordance with the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 (and per the City’s Investment Policy), the City invests solely in Authorised Deposit taking Institutions (ADI’s):

At the end of November 2021, the City held an investment portfolio (cash & cash equivalents) of $472.6m (Face Value), equating to $473.4m inclusive of accrued interest. The City’s year to date investment portfolio return has exceeded the UBS Australia Bank Bill rate index benchmark by 0.38% pa (0.40% pa vs. 0.02% pa), however it is noted that Interest Earnings were budgeted at a 0.43% yield.

The Reserve bank of Australia has lowered its cash rate to a historical low of 0.10% in November 2020, which is expected to continue in to the future. This has affected the City’s ability to attract higher interest rates from ADI’s.

 

Rate Setting Statement (Attachment 6)

The Rate Setting Statement represents a composite view of the finances of the City, identifying the movement in the Surplus (Deficit) based on the Revenues (excluding Rates), Expenses, Capital Works and Funding Movements, resulting in the Rating Income required.  It is noted that the closing Surplus (Deficit) will balance to the reconciliation of Net Current Assets Surplus (Deficit) Carried Forward (detailed below).

*The change in the AASB Standard 15 has resulted in the City now recognising Grants and Contributions received as a liability when performance obligations have not yet been met.

Statement of Financial Position (Attachment 2)

Note 1 - Net Current Assets

When compared to the opening position as at 30 June 2021, Net Current Assets have increased by $95m, which is predominately due to levying of 2021/22 Rates and Waste Service Fees in July 2021.

Current Assets movements mainly consist of an increase in Current Receivables of $35m and a net increase of Investments and Cash of $70m partially offset by increase of Payables by $10k.

Note 2 - Non-Current Assets

Non-Current Assets as at 31 December 2021 have moved by $20k, from 30 June 2021, due to increase in Work in Progress Assets.

Note 3 - Non-Current Liabilities

Non-Current Liabilities as at 31 December 2021 have decreased by $26k which is due to movement in provisions and payables.

The existing loan with the Western Australia Treasury Corporation remains unchanged making up 40% of total Non-Current Liabilities. The balance 60% consists of various other loans, provisions and payables.

Financial Performance Indicators

The table below presents data on relevant financial ratios, comparing the minimum standard expected as per the DLGSCI status at the year to date figures, and at the same period of the last year.

A green highlight is used where the minimum standard is met or exceeded. Highlighted in red is below the standard (where relevant).

Capital Works Program

The status of the Capital Works Program is summarised by Sub-Program in the table below:

During December 2021, $2.7m was spent. Details of significant expenditure for the month are included in Attachment 3. Up to 31 December 2021, the City has spent $19.6m, which represents 23.1% of the $85.1m Capital Works Revised Budget.

 

The City’s Capital Expenditure Forecast Graph will be provided after Mid-Year Review of Capital Budget.

 

To further expand on the Capital Works Program information above, updates in key capital projects are selected to be specifically reported on, is provided in the Top Capital Projects attachment to this report (Attachment 3).

 

Change to Capital Budget

 

The following changes are proposed to be made to the 2021/22 Capital Works budget.

 

Purchase of a Sea Container – Activation Kit for Animals in Emergencies – this was originally budgeted approximately $4,000 as an operating expenditure. However due to cost escalations the total cost of the project has now increased to $8,230. The increased cost of $4,230 will be funded from the original grant (Caring for our Communities Grant). Since the total cost of the project is greater the City’s capitalisation threshold of $5,000, a capital project has been created “PR-4370 Purchase of a Sea Container – Activation Kit for Animals in Emergencies”. Accordingly the grant income and related expenditure to be transferred from operating to capital.

 

Investment Portfolio (Attachment 4)

In accordance with the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 (and per the City’s Investment Policy), the City invests solely in Authorised Deposit taking Institutions (ADI’s):

At the end of December 2021, the City held an investment portfolio (cash & cash equivalents) of $467.5 (Face Value), equating to $473.4m inclusive of accrued interest. The City’s year to date investment portfolio return has exceeded the UBS Australia Bank Bill rate index benchmark by 0.38% pa (0.40% pa vs. 0.02% pa), however it is noted that Interest Earnings were budgeted at a 0.43% yield.

The Reserve bank of Australia has lowered its cash rate to a historical low of 0.10% in November 2020, which is expected to continue in to the future. This has affected the City’s ability to attract higher interest rates from ADI’s.

Rate Setting Statement (Attachment 5)

The Rate Setting Statement represents a composite view of the finances of the City, identifying the movement in the Surplus (Deficit) based on the Revenues (excluding Rates), Expenses, Capital Works and Funding Movements, resulting in the Rating Income required.  It is noted that the closing Surplus (Deficit) will balance to the reconciliation of Net Current Assets Surplus (Deficit) Carried Forward (detailed below).

*The change in the AASB Standard 15 has resulted in the City now recognising Grants and Contributions received as a liability when performance obligations have not yet been met.

Consultation

This document has been prepared in consultation with Responsible Officers for review and analysis.

Comment

1.       Operating Result from Continuing Operations

The below results from operations graph shows improved financial results which were achieved through an increase in income and cost-containing programs. The increased revenue was due to additional Operating Grants and fees and charges. The positive variance for expenditure was mainly due to decreases in materials and contracts and lower employee costs due to delays in filling non-critical vacancies and lesser use of casual positions at certain community facilities.

2.       Operating Revenue

The City’s revenues include rates, user fees and charges, interest earnings, grants, subsidies and contributions. A breakdown is shown below:

As more than 80% of the City’s operating revenue is attributable to rates and waste service charges, we placed a greater focus on increasing alternative revenue sources through grants, subsidies and contributions and fees and charges. Initiatives included proactive work to secure grant funding from State and Federal agencies to support delivery of the City’s two main sub-programs transport and recreational and sport facilities.

Operating revenue has increased compared to the previous year’s actuals, mainly due to growth in rates and waste service charges resulting from growth in the number of rateable properties. Operating revenue has increased compared to the original budget due to higher fees and charges and grants.

The City adopted 0% rates increase in 2020/21 Annual Budget. However the City offered a $2.7million one-off COVID concession for certain ratepayers whose rates would have otherwise gone up without an increase in Gross Rental Value of their properties. With the COVID concession, the effective rates decreased by 2.7%.

3.       Operating Expenses

The major local government cost driver is employee expenses. Remaining operating expenses are the costs incurred in providing goods and services and utilities, and depreciation expenses. The pie chart below shows the breakdown.

92.8% of the City’s operating expenses are captured within three categories: employee costs, materials and contracts, and depreciation. Growth of these costs have remained consistent in recent financial years, reflecting the City’s continued and constant levels of growth. The graph below shows our operating expenses over the past 5 years.

4.       Capital Expenditure

The pie chart below shows capital expenditure aligned to financial programs.

The three main categories of capital project expenditure related to transport, corporate and recreation and sport totalling 84.0%.

In 2020/21, it is noted that while $52.3 million was spent on capital programs, an additional $21.1 million of infrastructure assets were constructed by developers as part of subdivisional development and handed over to the City. Developer-contributed assets included roads, pathways, stormwater drainage and parks (going forward, the upkeep of which becomes the City’s responsibility).

In the past 5 years, the Capital expenditure tracked below budget. The capital program aims to balance the demands for new infrastructure against the need to maintain, renew, upgrade and replace existing assets. In 2020/21, capital expenditure was $52.3 million against a revised budget of $68.6 million. Works in progress (carry forwards) at the end of the year totalled at $14.7 million, and included new sports facilities at Halesworth Park in Butler ($488K); development of the Neerabup Industrial Area ($600K); the new 3 Bin Kerbside Collection system ($1.5 million); the replacement of domestic waste vehicles ($3.4 million); and new/renewed IT equipment, software and systems ($4.3 million).

In 2020/21 the decrease in assets is due to handover of road and drainage infrastructure assets to Main Roads Western Australia.

Total liabilities have increased over the past few years mainly due to an increase in contract liabilities. This is driven by changes in accounting standards affecting the recognition of conditional grants whereby obligations had not been fulfilled by the year-end and higher provisions.

6.       Reserves Balances

 

To ensure the effective management of municipal funds the City has a number of reserve accounts created for specific purposes. These funds are systematically invested to maximise their use until required, as identified in the Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP). Indicated below are the total balances of Reserves recorded to account for the past three financial years and Adopted Budget balance for 2021/22 (Note 15 of Attachment 1).

The total net reserve transfer for the 2020/21 presented a $20.9 million difference from the original Adopted Budget, the more significant movements are as follows:

 

7.       Ratio’s

Each year a number of financial ratios are prepared as part of the Annual Financial Statements, to help further analyse financial results. The City has maintained above benchmark as set by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries in the (DLGSCF) all but one ratio.

A description of the purpose of each ratio and explanation for variations to benchmark ratios has been provided.

Ratio Description

 

(Local Government Operational Guidelines – Number 18 by DLGSCI)

 

Current Ratio:                         This ratio is designed to focus on the liquidity position of a local government that has arisen from past year's transaction.

Debt Service Cover Ratio:     This ratio is the measurement of a local government's ability to repay its debt including lease payments; the higher the ratio, the greater the borrowing capacity.

Own Source Revenue Ratio: This ratio is the measurement of a local government's ability to cover its costs through its own revenue efforts.

Operating Surplus Ratio:       This ratio is a measure of a local government's ability to cover its operational costs and have revenues available for capital funding or other purposes.

Asset Consumption Ratio:     This ratio measures the extent to which depreciable assets have been consumed by comparing their written down value to their replacement cost.

Asset Sustainability Ratio:     This ratio indicates whether a local government is replacing or renewing existing non-financial assets at the same rate that its overall asset stock is wearing out.

Asset Renewal Funding:        This ratio is a measure of the ability of a local government to fund its projected asset renewal/replacements in the future.

Specific Ratio Result Explanations

Current Ratio:                         The City’s current ratio is above the benchmark of 1.00:1.

Debt Service Cover Ratio:     The City’s debt service cover ratio is below the benchmark of 2.00:1. It is below zero due to the $98.6 million loss on disposal triggered by the handover of roads and drainage infrastructure to Main Roads Western Australia.

Own Source Revenue Ratio: The City’s own source revenue coverage ratio is above the benchmark of 0.40:1. The drop from prior years is due to the $98.6 million loss on disposal triggered by the handover of roads and drainage infrastructure to Main Roads WA.

Operating Surplus Ratio:       The City’s operating surplus ratio is below the benchmark of 0.01:1 due to the $98.6 million loss on disposal triggered by the handover of roads and drainage infrastructure to Main Roads Western Australia.

Asset Consumption Ratio:     The City’s asset consumption ratio is above the benchmark of 0.50:1. The benchmark has been met consistently as the City’s assets are either new or in very good condition.

Asset Sustainability Ratio:     The City’s asset sustainability ratio is below the benchmark of 0.90:1. The benchmark has not been met, as 78% of the City’s assets are either new or in very good condition and do not require immediate attention.  .

Asset Renewal Funding:        The City’s asset renewal funding ratio is above the benchmark of 0.75:1. Due to the City’s growth in new areas, there is currently a greater amount of expenditure on new assets than renewal.

Further explanations for the ratios which fell short of DLGSC benchmark are as follows:

Asset Sustainability Ratio

The DLGSCI Asset Management Framework and Guidelines publication provides the following explanation in respect to the Asset Sustainability Ratio (ASR):

          “If capital expenditure on renewing or replacing assets is at least equal to depreciation on average over time, then the local government is ensuring the value of its existing stock of physical assets is maintained. If capital expenditure on existing assets is less than depreciation then, unless a local government’s overall asset stock is relatively new, it is likely that it is underspending on renewal or replacement.”

A large percentage of the City's assets are in new and very good condition with approximately 63% of the total infrastructure asset base at or below condition 2 and approximately 78% at or under condition 3 (a rating of ‘0’ represents a new asset and a ‘10’ represents an asset that has failed). Less than 1.4% of the asset base is at or above condition 8, which represents assets that require intervention.

With the City's current mix of old and new assets and continued high growth, a lower than average ASR is expected, and the current condition of assets and level of renewal expenditure confirms this position. As the stock ages and renewal expenditure incrementally increases the ratio should increase, however continued growth may keep it relatively lower than the industry standard.

Taking a long-term outlook, the level of asset stock and renewal demand necessitates the development of strategies to address the future impact and ensure that the City can continue to grow and maintain its assets in a financially sustainable manner. Given that renewal expenditure is lower than the depreciation being charged and that certain years’ experience significant spikes in demand, a specific Asset Renewal Reserve has been established. Effective from 1 July 2021, the Asset Renewal Reserve and Asset Replacement Reserve have been combined to create a new Reserve “Asset Replacement/Enhancement Reserve”.

Summary

As demonstrated by the financial data available for each of the key indicators above, the 2020/2021 financial results for the City present a prudent and sustainable financial position that reflects the City's focus on effective and efficient financial management. 

Statutory Compliance

Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 regulation 36 specifies the information that is to be included in the Annual Financial Report.

The Local Government (Audit) Regulations 1996 prescribes the following compliance matters in respect to the Audit Report:

“10.   Report by auditor

(1)     An auditor’s report is to be forwarded to the persons specified in section 7.9(1) within 30 days of completing the audit.

(2)     The report is to give the auditor’s opinion on —

(a)     the financial position of the local government; and

(b)     the results of the operations of the local government.

(3)     The report is to include —

(a)     any material matters that in the opinion of the auditor indicate significant adverse trends in the financial position or the financial management practices of the local government; and

(b)     any matters indicating non‑compliance with Part 6 of the Act, the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 or applicable financial controls in any other written law; and

(c)     details of whether information and explanations were obtained by the auditor; and

(d)     a report on the conduct of the audit; and

(e)     the opinion of the auditor as to whether or not the following financial ratios included in the annual financial report are supported by verifiable information and reasonable assumptions-

(i)      the asset consumption ratio; and

(ii)      the asset renewal funding ratio.

(4)     Where it is considered by the auditor to be appropriate to do so, the auditor is to prepare a management report to accompany the auditor’s report and to forward a copy of the management report to the persons specified in section 7.9(1) with the auditor’s report."

 

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

7 ~ A well governed and managed City that makes informed decisions, provides strong community leadership and valued customer focused services

Issue

To consider the matters identified as significant in the Independent Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2021 by the Office of the Auditor General (OAG). Specifically, an adverse trend of one of the reportable Ratios which was calculated in-line with reporting requirements as specified in the guidelines issued by the Department of Local Government, Sports and Cultural Industries (DLGSCI).

The matters require specific action and disclosure as per section 7.12A(4) and (5) of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act).

Background

As part of the Statutory Audit process of the Annual Statutory Financial Statements, the OAG is required to report of any matters relating to Legal and Regulatory Requirements that come to their attention.  For the City’s Annual Statutory Financial Statement for the year ended 30 June 2021, the OAG identified the City was not compliant with the Asset Sustainability Ratio standard set by the DLGSCI for the past three years, which was highlighted in their Independent Auditor’s Report dated 17 December 2021 (Attachment 1).

Under the Local Government Act 1995 section 7.12A(4) and (5),  Duties of local government with respect to of the Act audits:

(4)     A local government must —

(a)     prepare a report addressing any matters identified as significant by the auditor in the audit report, and stating what action the local government has taken or intends to take with respect to each of those matters; and

(b)     give a copy of that report to the Minister within 3 months after the audit report is received by the local government.

(5)     Within 14 days after a local government gives a report to the Minister under subsection (4)(b), the CEO must publish a copy of the report on the local government’s official website.

Detail

As indicated above, the OAG has highlighted under the heading, ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ in the Independent Auditor’s Report dated 17 December 2021 that the Asset Sustainability Ratio has been below the DLGSCI set standard for the past three years.

The adverse position has been presented to the Audit and Risk Committee on the 17 December 2021 as part of the 2020/21 Annual Financial Statements. Explanation of this position is detailed below.

The DLGSCI Asset Management Framework and Guidelines publication provides the following explanation in respect to the Asset Sustainability Ratio (ASR):

Asset Sustainability =  Capital Renewal and Replacement Expenditure

Ratio                                                           Depreciation

"If capital expenditure on renewing or replacing assets is at least equal to depreciation on average over time, then the local government is ensuring the value of its existing stock of physical assets is maintained. If capital expenditure on existing assets is less than depreciation then, unless a local government’s overall asset stock is relatively new, it is likely that it is underspending on renewal or replacement."

A large percentage of the City's assets are new or in good condition with approximately 63% of the total asset base at or below condition 2 (a rating of ‘0’ represents a new asset and a ‘10’ represents an asset that has failed). Less than 1.4% of the asset base is at or above condition 8, which represents assets that require intervention.

With the City's current mix of old and new assets and continued high growth, a lower than average ASR is expected, and the current condition of assets and level of renewal expenditure confirms this position. As the stock ages and renewal expenditure incrementally increases, the ratio should increase accordingly. However, continued growth may keep it relatively lower than the industry standard.

It is also acknowledged by the DLGSCI guidelines that the Asset Sustainability Ratio can be below the benchmark, if the local government’s overall asset stock is relatively new.

Taking a long-term outlook, the level of asset stock and renewal demand necessitates the development of strategies to address the future impact and ensure that the City can continue to grow and maintain its assets in a financially sustainable manner. Given that renewal expenditure is lower than the depreciation being charged and that there are spikes in demand in certain years, a specific Asset Replacement/Enhancement Reserve has been established to address these spikes in demand.

Consultation

Comment

On receipt of this report, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) must notify the Minister of the action taken and ensure the same is published on the City’s website within 14 days of issuance of the letter.

 

Currently, the Local Government Act review is being undertaken and more relevant financial ratios and appropriate benchmarking for local government sector are considered in the review. One of those ratios which is being reviewed is the “Assets Sustainability Ratio”.

Issue

To accept the City of Wanneroo 2020/21 Annual Report (the Report) as recommended by the Audit and Risk Committee.

 

Background

The development of an annual report is a requirement of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act).  Section 5.53(1) of the Act requires local governments to develop and publish an Annual Report for each financial year with the required content of the annual report specified in section 5.53(2).

Section 5.54 of the Act requires that the local government accepts the annual report for a financial year no later than 31 December after that financial year. The exception being that if the Auditor’s report is not available in time for the annual report for a financial year to be accepted by 31 December after that financial year, the annual report is to be accepted by the local government no later than two months after the Auditor’s report becomes available.

Detail

The Report outlines the progress made towards the strategic objectives as set out in the City’s Strategic Community Plan 2017/18-2026/27 and details achievements and performance against the  2020/21 commitments made in the Corporate Business Plan 2020/21 - 2023/24. 

The Report has been developed based on the formal feedback on improvement opportunities as received from the Australasian Reporting Awards (ARA) adjudicator in relation to last year’s Annual Report.

Changes based on the feedback and criteria include:

·        Inclusion of any adverse media (if applicable) due to Council misconduct or referrals to the CCC including outcomes;

·        Inclusion of any complaints and their outcomes; and

·        Inclusion of the Audit and Risk Committee and Internal Audit outcomes.

 

The Report has been streamlined to remove duplication of content whilst still meeting ARA criteria. Review against recently released 2021 ARA criteria has been undertaken to confirm the report continues to meet all requirements to a high standard.

Design of the Report is aligned to the new brand and harmonises with style of the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031 which was adopted in June 2021.

Consultation

The Audit and Risk Committee endorsed the Report on 23 November for presentation to the Council subject to any amendments required arising from the final audited Financial Statements and any non-material changes requested, which have been completed.

Comment

Participation in the ARA provides an opportunity for the City to benchmark its Annual Report against the ARA’s world best practice criteria, which are aligned to the City’s measurement and reporting goals, with a view to improve the standards and quality of the City’s financial and business reporting.  The Report has been entered into the 2021 awards.

Statutory Compliance

Section 5.54 of the Act requires that the annual report for a financial year is to be accepted (by Absolute Majority) by the local government no later than 31 December after that financial year unless the auditor’s report is not available in time to meet this deadline. The auditor’s report was issued on 17 December 2021 and as the Council was on recess at this time, will be presented to the first ordinary Council meeting in 2022.

Section 5.55 and 5.55A of the Act requires that the City gives local public notice of the availability of the Annual Report once accepted by the Council and to publish the annual report on the local government’s official website within 14 days after the report has been accepted by the local government.

Section 5.27 of the Act states that an Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Electors’ is to be held once every financial year and not more than 56 days after the local government accepts the Annual Report. The AGM is scheduled to be held on 22 February 2022, 7 days after Council adoption to ensure compliance with section 5.27 of the Act.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

Issue

To consider a proposed retail lease to Orion Café Pty Ltd (ACN 601 611 741) (as trustee for the Alalid Family Trust) trading as Orion Cafe (Lessee) over a portion of Reserve 43792, Lot 9740 Brazier Road, Yanchep (Premises), with the new lease to incorporate renovations to the Premises.

 

Background

Land

The Premises is located at Reserve 43792, Lot 9740 (10) Brazier Road, Yanchep (Lot 9740) (Attachment 1 refers).

Lot 9740 is Crown land, incorporated in Reserve 43792.  The site has an area of 527m2 and is a category ‘C’ reserve vested in the City for the purpose of ‘Recreation’ under a Management Order with power to lease for a term not exceeding 21 years, subject to the consent of the Minister for Lands.

Lot 9740 is zoned ‘Parks and Recreation’ under the MRS and ‘Regional Parks and Recreation’ under DPS2.

The existing building on Lot 9740 incorporates:

·        a café/kiosk (also stocking ancillary beach, curio and local produce supplies), having an area of approximately 270m2; and

·        beach toilets and showers, occupying the remainder of the building footprint.

 

The building was constructed circa late 1960s/early 1970s and is of brick/iron construction.  The main roof was replaced circa late 1980s/early 1990s and consists of a hipped colorbond custom orb roof. 

Prior Lease

The Lessee first occupied the Premises in early 2017 (Prior Lease).  This lease followed an initial, short term lease commencing in late 2016 and granted to the Lessee’s director, Bernardo Alalid in his capacity as then trustee of the Alalid Family Trust. 

The Prior Lease was for an initial term of one year and 4 option periods (each of one year), and had been approved by Council in April 2017 (item CS03-04/17). 

The final option period of the Prior Lease expires in May 2022. 

The Lessee has provided a good level of service from the Premises and has a positive reputation within the local community. This represents an improvement on the performance of previous operators of the site. In this context, and in advance of the expiry of the lease, Administration investigated:

·        the condition of the Premises and the potential for refurbishment and redevelopment to improve the amenity; and

·        the potential for a new lease with the Lessee.

The Yanchep Lagoon Master Plan (YLMP) earmarked the full redevelopment of Reserve 9740 to be within 5 to 15 years of the endorsement of the YLMP in 2019.  Redevelopment is more conceivable to occur in the latter part of that period. 

Accordingly, an interim refurbishment of the Premises could assist with the delivery of positive outcomes by:

·        providing a continued and improved service provision within this timeframe;

·        ensuring continuity for the current Lessee and community; and

·        providing the City with flexibility to implement a clear and concise plan for the long term use of the site.

 

Retaining the existing Premises operations on the current site in the short and medium term, (potentially up to 15 years) will allow time for the progression of YLMP implementation and delivery. This timeframe will develop and implement the strategy for the future of the Premises site and any future YLMP preferred site redevelopment.  

The impact of the proposed refurbishment and redevelop of the Premises is supported by consultants’ advice for the viability of the existing site:

·        In June 2020, Administration engaged Pracsys to provide a Commercial Feasibility Assessment.  The report recommended the renovation or redevelopment of the Premises as the preferred short term outcome for the site, particularly when compared to alternative locations such as Fisherman’s Hollow or an expansion of the new Surf Club building.

·        In September 2020, Hendry Building Surveying provided a BCA Compliance, Accessibility, Condition and Structural Report.  The report determined that the Premises ‘as is’ (without renovations) has a minimum 10 years of service life left, subject to adequate ongoing maintenance. Renovations to the Premises (such as those described in the present report) will extend the lifecycle of the Premises significantly beyond that 10 year period, without prejudicing the implementation of the YLMP.

 

Detail

·        the requirements of the Retail Shops Act.

 

The proposed new lease will be a ‘private treaty’ agreement:

·    Rent following Lessor Works:  $55,000 per annum plus GST, adjusted pro rate for the balance of the first lease year (i.e. until the first anniversary of the Commencement Date).  This rate incorporates a pro rata rent abatement of $13,000 per annum, applied to the nominal rent of $68.000 (plus GST) per annum;

·    Year 2 (i.e. commencing from the first anniversary of the Commencement Date):  $60,000* (plus GST) per annum, incorporating a rent abatement of $8,000 per annum, applied to the nominal rent of $68.000* (plus GST) per annum;

·    Year 3 (i.e. commencing from the second anniversary of the Commencement Date):  $65,000* (plus GST) per annum, incorporating a rent abatement of $3,000 per annum, applied to the nominal rent of $68.000* (plus GST) per annum; and

·    Year 4 (i.e. commencing from the first anniversary of the Commencement Date):  $68,000* (plus GST) per annum, being the full rent (with no abatement).

Consultation

Proposed Lease

 

·        Relevant service units, including Building Maintenance, Health Services, Asset Planning, Infrastructure Capital Works and Place Management have been consulted in the course of preparation of the lease terms and the scope of the proposed renovations.  Administration is supportive of the proposed lease, noting that the City has no alternative plans for the site within in the term of the proposed lease.

·        The essential terms of the proposed lease and the lease document have been presented to the Lessee.

·        The Lessee agreed to the essential terms on 29 November 2022 with the Lessee’s review of the draft lease ongoing at the date of the present report.

·        In the event that the proposed lease terms are approved by Council, DPLH will be requested to provide its consent to the terms of the draft lease as per section 18 of the Land Administration Act 1997 (WA) (LAA).

·        Administration has engaged an external lawyer (from the City’s legal panel) to finalise the lease documents to ensure they meet the requirements of the Retail Shops Act.

 

Boundary Changes – Reserve 12439

 

In parallel to the planning of the renovations to the Premises and the negotiations with the Lessee, Administration has engaged with DPLH to request minor changes to the boundaries of Reserve 43792 to reflect the layout of the site.  Portions of the adjacent Reserves 12439 and 29694 will be excised and amalgamated with Reserve 43792 (Attachment 3 refers). 

 

The boundary changes will support the inclusion of the licensed areas (some of which are currently in Reserve 12439) in the proposed new lease.

Comment

Administration recommends the proposed new lease of the Premises to the Lessee as outlined in this report, further noting that: 

 

·        The Lessee has performed well as a tenant of the City, both in terms of performance of its lease obligations and in improving the popularity of the site.  An extended lease term would recognise this performance and provide comfort to the Lessee to invest in growing the business;

·        The proposed renovations will expand the functionality of the Premises, which the Lessee has advised will increase the hours of use and anticipated employment at the site;

·        The renovations will also extend the lifespan of the Premises, while not compromising the scope for the City to redevelop the site in the long term in accordance with the aspirations of the Yanchep Lagoon Master Plan (YLMP) project.

 

The lease would not be an exempt disposition under the Act.  If Council resolves to approve the proposed lease in-principle, it will be necessary to publish a local notice of the proposed disposal inviting public submissions.

 

Should any submissions be received, administration recommends that no further report is presented to Council and that the CEO be authorised to consider and reject any submissions, negotiate lease terms and effect any documentation relating to it.

Statutory Compliance

The public notice of the proposed disposition will comply with the requirements of section 3.58 of the Act.

 

The proposed tenure complies with the requirement of the Retail Shops Act for a minimum tenure term of 5 years (including options).

 

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

3 ~ A vibrant, innovative City with local opportunities for work, business and investment

3.2 - Attract and support new and existing business

Issue

To consider a proposed new ground lease to the Department of Communities (Lessee) over the site known as the Hepburn Centre (formerly known as the Marangaroo Family Centre) on a portion of Lot 800 (46) Highclere Boulevard, Marangaroo (Lot 800). 

Background

Land

 

Lot 800 is freehold land, owned by the City (Attachment 1 refers).  Lot 800 is currently zoned as ‘Urban’ under the MRS and ‘Civic & Cultural’ under DPS2.

 

Lot 800 is adjacent to John Moloney Park (Reserve 39479) Lot 801 (34) Highclere Boulevard, Marangaroo (Reserve 39479), being Crown land managed by the City under a management order for ‘Public Recreation’.

 

The City identified that the fenced boundary of Lot 800 incorporated an encroaching portion of Reserve 39479, with the encroachment having an area of approximately 326m2 and including a portion of the playground within Lot 800.  Following Council approving the acquisition of the encroaching area from the State (refer to item CS04-12/18), the excision from Reserve 39479 and amalgamation into Lot 800 was completed in September 2020. 

 

Lot 800 now has a total area of 2,325m2.

 

Prior Lease

 

The City currently leases Lot 800 (excluding the former encroachment) to the Lessee under a lease for a term of 21 years commencing on 21 March 1991, subsequently continued on a holding over basis as a monthly tenancy (Prior Lease).  The Prior Lease was on a ground lease basis, with the Lessee being responsible for maintenance. 

 

The Lessee permits the use of the site by the Hepburn Centre under a funded service agreement.  The Hepburn Centre is a special purpose not-for-profit incorporated community group, which provides community programs and services to families in the southern suburbs of the City. 

 

Although the Lessee previously investigated the options for the use of Lot 800 and alternative operating models (as noted in the Agenda report for item CS04-12/18), the Lessee has subsequently confirmed its support for a new ground lease with the City.  The new lease will provide for the continued operations of the Hepburn Centre.

 

Administration progressed with lease negotiations with the Lessee following the amalgamation of the encroaching area into Lot 800.

Detail

Proposed Lease Terms:

 

The following proposed lease terms have been agreed with the Lessee and are in line with the Leasing Policy.

 

Premises:

1,560m² (approximate) portion of Lot 800, including the buildings and improvements on the land (Attachment 2 refers).

 

The Premises area has been clarified from the area identified in the Prior Lease.  The new lease removes the car parking areas from the Premises, but also incorporates the playground area within the Premises.  Historically, the car park area has been used in common with the car park for John Moloney Park.

 

Term:

The period commencing on the Commencement Date and expiring 30 June 2024.

 

Commencement Date:

 

The date of execution of the lease.

 

Option Term:

5 years commencing on 1 July 2024 and expiring on 30 June 2029

 

Rent:

$13,500 per annum (plus GST)

 

A licensed valuer was appointed to determine the current market rental of the Premises.  A valuation report dated 26 November 2020 recommended a rental of $27,000 per annum plus GST.

 

In accordance with characterisation of the Lessee as being within the ‘Government’ category (Category 1) under the City’s Leasing Policy, the rent has been discounted by 50%.

 

A peppercorn ($1 per annum) rent was payable under the Prior Lease.  Accordingly, the rent under the new lease is an improved commercial outcome for the City.

 

Rent Review:

 

Rent is reviewed by reference to CPI annually on 1 July, with a market rent review to occur on 1 July 2024.

 

Permitted Purpose:

Provision of family and community services

 

Rates & Taxes:

Lessee responsible for all rates including Council rates and water rates, taxes, assessments and impositions.

 

Outgoings:

Lessee responsible for all outgoings including but not limited to electricity, gas, water and telephone/broadband used in relation to the Premises whether billed directly or otherwise.

 

Building Insurance:

Lessee responsibility

 

 

Public Liability Insurance:

 

Lessee responsibility – Minimum $20 million

 

Other Insurance:

Lessee responsibility

 

Maintenance:

Lessee responsible to maintain the Premises.

 

The Lessee’s maintenance responsibilities include structural and capital works, given that the lease is on a ground lease basis.

 

Lessee’s initial maintenance works:

Following an inspection of the Premises, Administration noted the following works were required to be undertaken by the Lessee:

 

·    Roof sheeting is lifting;

·    Sagging eaves;

·    Repainting of eaves, fascia, gables;

·    Patches need to be filled in eaves;

·    Gutter needs to be cleaned and re-bolted to the roof;

·    Most downpipes have been damaged;

·    Soak wells to be unblocked;

·    Protective paint is peeling off lintels;

·    Some cornices are coming loose and have cracked;

·    Wire fence in south side needs repair;

·    Some of the retaining walls bases are eroded away;

·    Hanger beam is warping;

·    Cracks to walls; and

·    Some door stoppers are facing the wrong way.

 

The Lessee has agreed to undertake corrective maintenance works for these items within 6 months following the commencement of the new lease.

 

The City has agreed to investigate cracked paving external to the Premises, but there are no other maintenance obligations for the City.

 

Statutory Compliance:

Lessee responsibility

 

Documentation:

A draft lease was prepared by Administration, based on a City template which has been used for previous ground leases.  The lease was reviewed and approved by the City’s Legal Services unit in advance of submission to the Lessee.

 

The Lessee agreed in writing to the essential lease terms outlined above, and subsequently approved on 17 September 2021 the conditions of the draft lease that had been provided for its review. 

 

The shift to the new lease is a significant improvement to the document used for the Prior Lease, which was an older style lease and was silent on some of the parties’ responsibilities.

 

Consultation

·    Relevant service units, including Building Maintenance and Asset Planning have been consulted in the course of preparation of the lease terms.  Administration is supportive of the proposed lease, noting that the City has no alternative plans for the site in the term of the proposed lease;

·    The essential terms of the proposed lease have been presented to the Lessee; and

·    The Lessee agreed to the essential terms and proposed lease.

 

Noting that Lot 800 is owned by the City in freehold, the Minister for Lands is not required to approve the new lease.

Comment

The Lessee has been a reliable tenant for many years and has supported the valuable community services provided by the Hepburn Centre.

 

The proposed new lease will clarify the area of the Premises and the Lessee’s responsibilities.  It will also facilitate the continued service provision by the Hepburn Centre.

Administration recommends the proposed new lease of the Premises to the Lessee as outlined in this report.

Statutory Compliance

Under regulation 30 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 (WA), the proposed lease to the Lessee is an exempt disposition of property to which section 3.58 of the Act does not apply.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

1 ~ An inclusive and accessible City with places and spaces that embrace all

The proposed new lease has been negotiated in accordance with the City’s Leasing Policy. 

 

Due to the Premises being leased as a ground lease over freehold land, rent is payable by the Lessee (though discounted due to the Policy Category applicable to the Lessee), but a maintenance fee is not required.  All maintenance will be the responsibility of the Lessee.

 

Although the new lease is of a type which would often be entered by the City under an existing delegation, the Premises area is marginally over the threshold for the delegation (by 60m2).  Accordingly, the matter requires Council approval.

Financial Implications

·        The proposed new lease will generate an additional income stream to the City of $13,500 (plus GST) per annum.  This is an improvement on the peppercorn rent under the Prior Lease.

·        CPI rental increases will apply throughout the initial term and the option term (aside from any market rent review date).

·        The Lessee will be responsible for all operational costs arising from the Premises, including maintenance (including structural and capital items).

Issue

To consider a proposed agreement for lease (incorporating a ground lease) to the Northern Suburbs Men’s Shed Inc (NSMS) over a portion of the north-east corner of Reserve 28058, 100 Kingsway, Madeley (Reserve 28058, also known as Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex).

Background

Reserve 28058

 

Reserve 28058 is a category ‘C’ reserve vested in the City for ‘Recreation’ under a Management Order with power to lease for any term not exceeding 21 years, subject to the consent of the Minister for Lands.

 

Reserve 28058 is currently zoned as ‘Parks & Recreation’ under the MRS and ‘Regional Parks & Recreation’ in the City’s DPS2.

 

The overall land parcel has a number of existing leases, including leases to sporting clubs and a site leased by the Department of Defence for its Air Force Cadets operation.

 

NSMS

 

NSMS is an incorporated association, operating as a community men’s shed.  Formed under the wider Men’s Shed of WA network, NSMS seeks to provide a place where men can feel included and safe, where they can work on their own projects and hobbies and give back to their respective communities.  Under NSMS’ constitution, membership is limited to men, although affiliated membership categories are available for community members other than men.

 

NSMS has been seeking a long term home for some years.  The group currently operates from a 300m² corrugated iron industrial unit at 1C/288 Gnangara Road, Landsdale.  The site is privately owned, and Administration understands that NSMS occupies the site under a formal agreement with the landowner.

 

NSMS first contacted the City in 2015 to investigate whether land was available for the development of a new facility for NSMS.  Following significant land investigations a number of sites were proposed for NSMS consideration, which included (as a non-exhaustive list):

 

·        76 Ashley Road, Tapping (2016):  An attempt was made by Administration to bring NSMS and Wanneroo Community Men’s Shed (WCMS) together to pursue a joint project of developing the Ashley Road site, as this site was seen as large enough to accommodate the needs of both groups.  This did not proceed, due to WCMS determining that its members would not travel as far north as Tapping from the City’s southern suburbs, and further that WCMS had already invested finances into developing plans for the development of a previous opportunity at Leach Road, Wanneroo.

·        Nanovich Park, Wanneroo (2018):  The site, near the former pigeon club leased area, with an available area of approximately 1,700m2, was deemed unsuitable as NSMS was seeking 3,000m2 as a minimum at the time.

·        Wanneroo Showgrounds (Poultry Shed) (2020):  The Wanneroo Agricultural Society and NSMS engaged over the potential use of the Jo Marinovich Poultry Pavilion. NSMS considered the potential to co-locate with the Wanneroo Agricultural Society, but decided not to progress due to a preference for a stand-alone site at Reserve 28058.

·        Air Force Cadets site, Reserve 28058:  Administration recommended that NSMS contact the representatives of the Air Force Cadets (department of Defence) to discuss a possible sub-lease on its leased site. Initial discussions between the groups indicated that there was insufficient space available to accommodate a men’s shed.

·        Opportunity Street, Wangara (2021):  The potential to acquire one of the City’s freehold lots (zoned ‘General Industrial’ under DPS2) was also considered.  This would have required a purchase at market value (or a ground lease at market value), due to the land being freehold and not suitable for a non-commercial rent under the City’s Leasing Policy.  In any event:

o   NSMS decided not to progress due to a preference for a stand-alone site at Reserve 28058; and

o   The lots in question on Opportunity Street have since been sold.

·        Assisting NSMS with a desktop review of zoning and land use suitable for more than fifteen privately owned land parcels which NSMS was considering buying.

 

Although the majority of the alternative land was better prepared for development (including in relation to utility servicing), the overall consideration for NSMS was to secure larger premises closer to the group’s existing membership base.

 

Since 2018, NSMS has engaged with the City in relation to the development of a vacant area of Reserve 28058.  However, there was doubt over the viability of the project, due to changes in the organisations which were likely to co-locate with NSMS, no access and parking to the Reserve, no existing services to the site, in addition to uncertainty regarding NSMS’ funding.  Other sites were considered to be more financially viable however NSMS expressed its preference to proceed at Reserve 28058.

 

During 2021, NSMS advised Administration that it had secured State grant funding ($1 million) to construct a new facility.  NSMS has proposed for the new facility to be developed at Reserve 28058, with a scope to meet NSMS’ current and projected future needs as it continues to increase its membership, together with the potential to provide expanded community services.

 

In the course of seeking a location for the NSMS facility and reviewing the suitability of Reserve 28058, Administration identified that the north-east corner of Reserve 28058 should be able to accommodate two or three potential leased sites under ground lease arrangements (Attachments 1 and 2 refer). 

 

In consultation with NSMS, a ground leased area of 2,864m² has been identified as being available for the NSMS facility (Premises, identified as ‘Ground Lease Area #1 in Attachment 2).  NSMS has confirmed that it is satisfied with the proposed area.  The Premises is located immediately to the north of the site leased to the Department of Defence.

 

With the Premises location identified and agreed in principle, and with NSMS making positive progress in securing funding, the engagement between Administration and NSMS has now shifted to working on essential terms for an Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease.

 

 

Land use

 

The intended use of the Premises by NSMS involves a volunteer based community group undertaking a social activity. The purpose of the social activity is to address mental health in the community through the medium of members working together on manual projects to fix, restore or assemble various objects and materials. 

 

Administration reviewed the nature of these activities as proposed by NSMS and formed the view that they would be compatible with the Community purpose of the Regional Open Space Reserve definition under the MRS. In order to confirm the suitability of the activity being located on a Regional Open Space Reserve, Administration consulted with senior staff at DPLH in 2019.  Discussions confirmed Administration’s view that the scope of the activities being considered at the time (which included NSMS and the Wildflower Society) would be considered by DPLH as being consistent with the purpose of a Regional Open Space Reserve, noting also that DPLH is also the decision maker for any applications for development on the reserve.

Detail

Lease negotiation

 

Following extensive lease negotiations with NSMS during the latter half of 2021, the following proposed essential terms for an Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease have been presented to NSMS and agreed in principle.

 

Agreement for Lease

 

Land:

Reserve 28028, Lot 555 (100) Kingsway, Madeley and being more particularly described as Lot 555 on Deposited Plan 64232, being the whole of the land in Certificate of Title Volume LR3158 Folio 501 (known as Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex)

 

Premises:

That part of the Land having an area of approximately 2,864m².

 

Lessee:

Northern Suburbs Men’s Shed Inc.

 

Conditions Precedent:

 

Subject to and conditional upon the following conditions precedent:

 

·    the Department of Defence consenting to the variation of its lease to reduce the leased area to accommodate the car park and access road;

·    Council approval of the Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease;

·    written consent of the Minister for Lands to the Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease;

·    Lessee securing funding for the Lessee Works, to the Lessee’s absolute satisfaction; and

·    Lessee applying for and obtaining all approvals to undertake the Lessee Works.

The final time period for satisfaction of the conditions precedent is subject to negotiation and agreement with NSMS, but is anticipated to be in the region of 6-12 months following the execution of the Agreement for Lease.

 

 

Handover Date:

 

Access to the Premises for the Lessee Works not permitted until the last occurring of:

 

·    the Minister for Lands’ consent to Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease;

·    the date the Lessee receives all approvals for the Lessee Works, including the approval of its development application and building licence; and

·    the execution of the Agreement for Lease.

 

Estimated Practical Completion of Lessee Works Date:

The date being twenty four (24) months from satisfaction of the last of all necessary approvals, or such later date agreed in writing by the parties (in their absolute discretion).

 

Sunset Date:

 

If the Lessee does not complete the development in accordance with the Agreement for Lease, the City may terminate the Ground Lease.

 

Lessee Works:

 

Construction of the Lessee’s proposed men’s shed development. 

 

A formal concept plan (Attachment 3 refers) has been prepared (submitted in November 2021) by NSMS, but will need to be approved by the City before the NSMS seeks its development approvals and commences construction.

 

Development & Approvals:

To be in accordance with agreed development plans and specifications (subject to review and approval by the City), all required approvals and consents from all relevant statutory bodies and in compliance with applicable legislation and regulations.

 

Provision of or Upgrade of all required Services/Utilities:

 

Works will be undertaken by the City, but with a cost contribution by the Lessee. 

 

Administration has estimated that the cost to service the NSMS site, which will be the responsibility of NSMS to meet, are in the order of $223,800 and includes, for example, gas services, scheme water, sewer, electrical network, wet fire and contingency (50%).  The contingency level above is based on the City’s current concept plan and can be revised once detailed concept and design is completed.

 

Fencing:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Earthworks:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Fit out:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Insurance:

All required insurances to be arranged by Lessee at its sole cost (including, but not limited to) contractors’ all risk (CAR), public liability (minimum $20 million) and adequate workers’ compensation insurance.

 

Indemnity:

The Lessee indemnifies the City against all losses which the City suffers or incurs in connection with any damage, loss, injury or death arising directly or indirectly from the construction, installation or carrying out of the development/works.

 

Practical Completion:

Practical completion of the Lessee Works occurs when the City has inspected the Lessee Works and is satisfied that the Lessee Works have been carried out and is in compliance with all approvals.

 

Practical Completion of the Lessee Works will result in the Ground Lease commencing on the next day, on the terms outlined below and in accordance with a template version of the Ground Lease which will be attached to the Agreement for Lease.

 

 

Ground Lease

 

Rent:

$1 per annum plus GST.

 

Administration estimates, based on other developed areas in Reserve 28058, the Gross Rental Value (GRV) applicable to the Premises would be approximately $50,000 to $100,000 (most likely at the higher end of this range).  GRV is the gross annual rental that a property might reasonably be expected to earn annually if it were rented, including rates, taxes, insurance and other outgoings. 

 

Accordingly, the peppercorn rent under the proposed lease is a favourable outcome for NSMS and a positive contribution by the City to the project.

 

Term:

10 years, commencing on the Commencement Date.

 

Commencement Date:

The day after Practical Completion of the Lessee Works as described in the Agreement for Lease.

 

Option Term 1:

 

5 years

Option Term 2:

 

5 years

Permitted Purpose:

Community shed functions for provision of charitable works and services to the community that derive from activities that support, encourage, and advance the health and well-being of men.

 

Rates & Taxes:

Lessee responsible for all rates (including Council rates and water rates), taxes, assessments and impositions.

 

Outgoings:

Lessee responsible for all outgoings (not limited to) electricity, gas, water and telephone/broadband used in relation to the Premises whether billed directly or otherwise.

 

Building Insurance:

Lessee responsibility

 

 

Public Liability Insurance:

 

Lessee responsibility – Minimum $20 million

 

 

Other Insurance:

Lessee responsibility

 

Maintenance:

Lessee responsible to maintain the Premises.

 

The Lessee’s maintenance responsibilities include structural and capital works, given that the lease is on a ground lease basis.

 

 

End of Term:

 

Ownership of all improvements erected or constructed by the Lessee remains the property of the Lessee, but will revert to the City at the expiration of the Ground Lease.

At the expiration of the Ground Lease, the City reserves the right to request the Lessee to demolish the improvements to the Land and return the Land to the City in a vacant condition.

 

Security:

Provision of a bond by NSMS is subject to negotiation and agreement.

 

 

The draft Agreement for Lease and the draft Ground Lease were prepared by Administration, based on City templates which have been used for similar transactions.  The documentation has been approved in principle by NSMS, but remains subject to the City’s final legal review (either by the City’s Legal Services or by an external lawyer from the City’s legal panel).

 

NSMS engaged a private law firm to review the draft Agreement for Lease and the draft Ground Lease.

Consultation

Proposed Agreement for Lease (and Ground Lease)

 

Relevant service units, including Infrastructure Capital Works and Community Development have been consulted in the course of the lease discussions and related considerations.

 

Administration has been liaising extensively with NSMS to reach agreement on the Agreement for Lease and Lease with certain unknowns relating to the excision still pending that could potentially impact the progression of the lease.

 

Land Excision

 

DPLH has advised that the City may be required to excise the north-east corner of Reserve 28058 into a separate land parcel to support the development by NSMS.  DPLH expressed concern that NSMS is operating in a manner which is not consistent with the high-order MRS reservation applicable to Reserve 28058.

 

Administration is of the view that the position taken by DPLH is unnecessary, will occur further costs for NSMS and should be reconsidered, on the basis that:

 

·        An excision is not required on the basis of the current zoning, confirmed by discussions between the City’s Approval Services unit and the planning section at DPLH;

·        There are existing examples of recreational, but not ‘sporting’, uses of Reserve 28058, as most clearly demonstrated by the site leased to the Department of Defence; and

·        Due diligence in relation to potential utility service charges for developing the site as a separate land parcel indicates that the costs would be significantly greater than the comparative development as part of Reserve 28058, in the order of $650,000, arising from the following estimated costs:

 

Water Corporation

 

o   Infrastructure Contributions:

Wastewater – $334,900

Water – $76,710

o   Fees:  Water – $8,656

o   Connection:  Between $300 and $800 per metre

 

Western Power

 

o   Infrastructure Contributions (Distribution Low Voltage Connection Scheme):  Power - $97,376

o   Connection:  Between $300 and $1,000 per metre

 

Administration is in discussion with DPLH in this matter, which is not resolved at the date of the current report. 

 

Access to Premises – Variation of Department of Defence Lease

 

Currently there is no vehicular access to the Premises, however, the City has planned and budgeted for the construction of an access road (and associated parking) through some of the area leased to the Department of Defence (Attachment 2 refers).

 

This will result in the area leased to Department of Defence needing to be formally varied to surrender the portion required for the access road.  Administration has entered preliminary negotiations with the leasing representative of the Department of Defence in this regard. 

 

The variation of the Department of Defence lease will be a condition precedent to the Agreement for Lease with NSMS and, if agreed in principle with the Department of Defence, will be the subject of a future Council report.

 

The access road will provide access to the vacant parcel of land (and therefore access to potentially three tenanted areas in the future), and will have the added benefit of being available for use as overflow parking (if required) for patrons attending netball events on weekends when the netball associated parking areas have historically been in high demand and often at full capacity during weekends in the netball season.

 

It is anticipated that the construction of the carpark and access road will likely occur in 2022/23 financial year and not before.

Comment

Administration recommends the proposed Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease to NSMS as outlined in this report.

 

The men’s shed development by NSMS will be significantly larger than the majority of community sheds in the Perth metropolitan area (by more than 100% in many instances), potentially being the largest site overall.  This will allow NSMS to establish a purpose built facility (with future membership growth capacity) so that it can continue to provide the valuable services it does for years to come.

Statutory Compliance

Under regulation 30 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 (WA), the proposed Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease to NSMS is an exempt disposition of property to which section 3.58 of the Act does not apply.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

6 ~ A future focused City that advocates, engages and partners to progress the priorities of the community

6.3 - Build local partnerships and work together with others

The above risk/s relating to the issue contained within this report have been identified and considered within the City’s Strategic/Corporate risk register. Action plans have been developed to manage this risk to support existing management systems.

Policy Implications

The proposed essential terms of the Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease as outlined in this report are required to be presented to Council for approval as they exceed the parameters that permit the lease to be negotiated under the City’s Leasing Policy.  For example, the proposed term of the Ground Lease is greater than ten (10) years including options.

Financial Implications

Any future building constructed and/or required site works on the subject land parcel will be at the full cost of NSMS, with the only contribution from the City being to establish the access road and associated parking as mentioned earlier in this report.  All ongoing maintenance of the building and the leased area will also be the responsibility of NSMS.

 

The City has included the car park and access road in its Capital Works Program 2021/22 the amount of $450,000.

Issue

To consider a proposed agreement for lease (incorporating a ground lease) to the Wildflower Society of Western Australia (Inc.) over a portion of the north-east corner of Reserve 28058, 100 Kingsway, Madeley (Reserve 28058, also known as Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex).

Background

Reserve 28058

 

Reserve 28058 is a category ‘C’ reserve vested in the City for ‘Recreation’ under a Management Order with power to lease for any term not exceeding 21 years, subject to the consent of the Minister for Lands.

 

Reserve 28058 is currently zoned as ‘Parks & Recreation’ under the MRS and ‘Regional Parks & Recreation’ in the City’s DPS2.

 

The overall land parcel has a number of established lessees, including sporting clubs and a site leased by the Department of Defence for its Air Force Cadets operation.

 

Wildflower Society

 

The Wildflower Society of Western Australia Inc. (WSWA) was established in 1958 to promote the value of our natural bushland.  It holds monthly meetings, regular excursions, conducts native plant sales, bushland plant surveys, book sales, and attends at regular industry associated events.

 

The WSWA philosophy regarding native flora is that the conservation of West Australia’s remaining bushland heritage is of paramount importance.  The philosophy of conservation of the beautiful and unique wildflowers of the West is encapsulated in WSWA’s ten principles of flora conservation being:

 

“Heritage:-

Wildflowers are our natural heritage held in trust for our future generations. We have no right to destroy species.

 

Ecology:-

Natural bushland is quintessential to this heritage. Human beings cannot reproduce the complexity and diversity of species and their ecology that have evolved over millions of years.

 

Responsibility:-

Human beings are the ultimate custodians of life. We have the ability to destroy life, so must therefore assume the responsibility to preserve life. This responsibility lies with all levels of society: individual, community, government and corporate.

 

Intrinsic Value:-

All bushland has intrinsic value.  The value of the life of any species cannot be measured in dollars.

 

Botany:-

The systematic botanical surveying of our flora and vegetation is essential. The undescribed flora requires urgent but rigorous scientific attention.

 

Preservation:-

·    Flora conservation embraces the preservation of the ecology of vegetation types. Reserves, whether public or private, should be ecologically viable and interconnected to allow the continued movement of species and hence future evolution and adaptation and long-term survival. Nevertheless, all reserves are worthy of preservation.

·    The ecological integrity of reserves is inviolate. The notion of exploration and mining in reserves is scientifically and morally unjustifiable.

 

Rare and endangered species and communities:-

Rare communities and natural habitats of rare and endangered species must be preserved. Cultivation in gardens does not facilitate continuing biodiversity and species evolution.

 

Human impact:-

Human actions are changing the world and have impact on the flora. Changes include the Greenhouse Effect, acid rain (just two of the many aspects of climate change), land clearance and the introduction and spread of weeds and diseases (dieback, myrtle rust etc.). The greatest potential for survival in the face of these human impacts lies with the most genetically diverse and healthy natural populations of flora.

 

Education:-

The community has a right to know about, care about and enjoy our floral heritage. Community involvement and education are conducive to caring and enjoyment. Our children have the same rights.  Furthermore, all children have the right of access to bushland within walking distance of home and school.

 

Cultivation:-

Cultivation of wildflowers in gardens enables people to study and enjoy our flora, and lessen impact on our environment. The commercial picking of wildflowers and collection of seed and cuttings from bushland are incompatible with flora conservation.  The commercial production of wildflowers and seed is therefore necessarily based on cultivation.”

 

The WSWA currently has eleven branches across the South-West of Western Australia. 

 

One of the branches, the Northern Suburbs Branch (NSB), is based at the Landsdale Farm situated on the corner of Evandale Road and Hepburn Avenue, Darch.  The NSB approached the City in mid-2019 to enquire if there was any available space on City owned or managed land within the proximity of Landsdale to which it could re-locate its Landsdale operation.  All negotiations with WSWA have been via the NSB, but, due to the NSB being an integrated part of WSWA (rather than a separate entity), ‘WSWA' is used in the balance of the present report to describe the proposed lessee.

 

The site at Landsdale Farm is established as a green space garden and nursery to promote conservation and growing of WA flora.  It also provides advice to the public on how to grow and nurture native flora.  It is solely operated by volunteers.  Administration understands WSWA’s interest in alternative locations arose from uncertainty over its long term future at Landsdale Farm following the State’s change in management structure for the site.

 

As part of its investigations into finding suitable land for WSWA, Administration identified a vacant portion of Reserve 28058 (Attachments 1 and 2 refer).  This site also has the area capacity to accommodate one or two further community based tenancies on a ground lease agreement.

 

Discussions with WSWA during 2021 around this site established that WSWA would require approximately 2,000m² to meet its current and future needs.

 

Land use

 

The intended use of the Premises by WSWA involves a volunteer based community group undertaking a social activity. The purpose of the social activity is to provide a location for the community to undertake environmental conservation activities through the propagation and growing of endangered flora. 

 

Administration reviewed the nature of the activities as proposed by WSWA and formed the view that they would be compatible with the Community purpose of the Regional Open Space Reserve definition under the MRS.  In order to confirm the suitability of the activity being located on a Regional Open Space Reserve, Administration consulted with senior staff at DPLH in 2019.  Discussions confirmed Administration’s view that the scope of the activities being considered at the time (which included NSMS and WSWA) would be considered by DPLH as being consistent with the purpose of a Regional Open Space Reserve, noting also that DPLH is also the decision maker for any applications for development on the reserve.

Detail

Lease negotiation

 

Following extensive lease negotiations with WSWA during the latter half of 2021, the following proposed essential terms for an Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease have been presented to WSWA with in principle agreement from WSWA to the majority but still pending for some of the terms.  Administration anticipates that the remaining items will be resolved in the coming month and is seeking Council approval in the interim.

 

Agreement for Lease

 

Land:

Reserve 28058, Lot 555 (100) Kingsway, Madeley and being more particularly described as Lot 555 on Deposited Plan 64232, being the whole of the land in Certificate of Title Volume LR3158 Folio 501 (known as Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex)

 

Premises:

That part of the Land having an area of approximately 2,000m².  The site is identified as ‘Ground Lease Area #3’ in Attachment 2.

 

Lessee:

Wildflower Society of Western Australia (Inc.)

 

Conditions Precedent:

 

Subject to and conditional upon the following conditions precedent:

 

·    the Department of Defence consenting to the variation of its lease to reduce the leased area to accommodate the car park and driveway;

 

·    Council approval of the Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease;

 

·    written consent of the Minister for Lands to the Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease;

 

·    Lessee securing funding for the Lessee Works, to the Lessee’s absolute satisfaction; and

 

·    Lessee applying for and obtaining all approvals to undertake the Lessee Works.

 

The final time period for satisfaction of the conditions precedent is subject to negotiation and agreement with WSWA, but is anticipated to be 12 months following the execution of the Agreement for Lease.

 

Handover Date:

 

Access to the Premises for the Lessee Works not permitted until the last occurring of:

 

·    the Minister for Lands’ consent to Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease;

 

·    the date the Lessee receives all approvals for the Lessee Works, including the approval of its development application and building licence; and

 

·    the execution of the Agreement for Lease.

 

Estimated Practical Completion of Lessee Works Date:

The date being twenty four (24) months from satisfaction of the last of all necessary approvals, or such later date agreed in writing by the parties (in their absolute discretion).

 

Sunset Date:

 

If the Lessee does not complete the development in accordance with the Agreement for Lease, the City may terminate the document.

 

Lessee Works:

 

Construction of the Lessee’s proposed garden and tunnel house for wildflower and native plant cultivation. 

 

A formal plan is still to be prepared by WSWA, but will need to be approved by the City before the WSWA seeks its development approvals and commences construction.

 

Development & Approvals:

To be in accordance with agreed development plans and specifications (subject to review and approval by the City), all required approvals and consents from all relevant statutory bodies and in compliance with applicable legislation and regulations.

 

Provision of or Upgrade of all required Services/Utilities:

 

Works will be undertaken by the City, but with a cost contribution by the Lessee to be confirmed.  This will likely involve collaboration between the Lessee and Northern Suburbs Men’s Shed as the lessee of the nearby ground lease tenancy.

 

Administration has estimated that the cost to service the vacant parcel overall is in the order of $223,800 and includes, for example, such things as gas services, scheme water, sewer, electrical network and fire.  The cost estimate is based on current concept plan and can be revised once detailed concept and design. 

 

Fencing:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Earthworks:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Fit out:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Insurance:

All required insurances to be arranged by Lessee at its sole cost (including, but not limited to) contractors’ all risk (CAR), public liability (minimum $20 million) and adequate workers’ compensation insurance.

 

Indemnity:

The Lessee indemnifies the City against all losses which the City suffers or incurs in connection with any damage, loss, injury or death arising directly or indirectly from the construction, installation or carrying out of the development/works.

 

Practical Completion:

Practical completion of the Lessee Works occurs when the City has inspected the Lessee Works and is satisfied that the Lessee Works have been carried out and is in compliance with all approvals.

 

Practical Completion of the Lessee Works will result in the Ground Lease commencing on the next day, on the terms outlined below and in accordance with a template version of the Ground Lease which will be attached to the Agreement for Lease.

 

 

Ground Lease

 

Rent:

$1 per annum plus GST.

 

Administration estimates, based on other developed areas in Reserve 28058, the Gross Rental Value (GRV) applicable to the Premises would be approximately $50,000 to $100,000.  GRV is the gross annual rental that a property might reasonably be expected to earn annually if it were rented, including rates, taxes, insurance and other outgoings. 

 

Accordingly, the peppercorn rent under the proposed lease is a favourable outcome for WSWA and a positive contribution by the City to the project.

 

Term:

10 years, commencing on the Commencement Date.

 

Commencement Date:

The day after Practical Completion of the Lessee Works as described in the Agreement for Lease.

 

Option Term 1:

 

5 years

Option Term 2:

 

5 years

Permitted Purpose:

Green space garden and nursery to promote conservation, growing and enjoyment of WA flora.

 

Rates & Taxes:

Lessee responsible for all rates (including Council rates and water rates), taxes, assessments and impositions.

 

 

 

Outgoings:

Lessee responsible for all outgoings (not limited to) electricity, gas, water and telephone/broadband used in relation to the Premises whether billed directly or otherwise.

 

Building Insurance:

Lessee responsibility

 

 

Public Liability Insurance:

 

Lessee responsibility – Minimum $20 million

 

 

Other Insurance:

Lessee responsibility

 

Maintenance:

Lessee responsible to maintain the Premises.

 

The Lessee’s maintenance responsibilities include structural and capital works, given that the lease is on a ground lease basis.

 

End of Term:

 

Ownership of all improvements erected or constructed by the Lessee remains the property of the Lessee, but will revert to the City at the expiration of the Ground Lease.

At the expiration of the Ground Lease, the City reserves the right to request the Lessee to demolish the improvements to the Land and return the Land to the City in a vacant condition.

 

Security:

$5,000 bond will be provided by the Lessee.

 

 

The draft Agreement for Lease and the draft Ground Lease were prepared by Administration, based on City templates which have been used for similar transactions.  The documentation has largely been approved in principle by WSWA (subject to some minor items being resolved), but remains subject to the City’s final legal review (either by the City’s Legal Services or by an external lawyer from the City’s legal panel).

 

Consultation

 

Proposed Agreement for Lease (and Ground Lease)

 

Relevant service units, including Infrastructure Capital Works and Community Development have been consulted in the course of the lease discussions and related considerations.

 

Administration has been liaising extensively with the WSWA to reach agreement on the Agreement for Lease and Lease.

 

Land Excision

 

DPLH has advised that the City may be required to excise the north-east corner of Reserve 28058 into a separate land parcel to support the development by non-sporting recreational groups, including WSWA.  Further information on this issue is provided in the relation Agenda report on the proposed Agreement for Lease (and Ground Lease) to the Northern Suburbs Men’s Shed Inc.  Discussions with DPLH in this matter are still ongoing.

 

Access to Premises

 

Currently there is no vehicular access to the Premises, however, the City has planned and budgeted for the construction of a driveway (and associated parking) through some of the area leased to the Department of Defence.   Further information on this issue is provided in the related Agenda report on the proposed Agreement for Lease (and Ground Lease) to the Northern Suburbs Men’s Shed Inc.

Comment

Administration recommends the proposed Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease to the WSWA as outlined in this report.

 

This will allow WSWA to continue to educate the public at large on the conservation principles associated with the protection of native WA flora.  It will also allow WSWA to contribute (along with associated work undertaken by the likes of the Department for Parks and Wildlife) to the ongoing protection of native WA flora in years to come.

Statutory Compliance

Under regulation 30 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 (WA), the proposed Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease will be an exempt disposition of property to which section 3.58 of the Act does not apply.

 

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

1 ~ An inclusive and accessible City with places and spaces that embrace all

The above risk/s relating to the issue contained within this report have been identified and considered within the City’s Strategic/Corporate risk register. Action plans have been developed to manage this risk to support existing management systems.

Policy Implications

The proposed essential terms of the Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease as outlined in this report are required to be presented to Council for approval as they exceed the parameters that permit the lease to be negotiated under the City’s Leasing Policy.  For example, the proposed term of the Ground Lease is greater than ten (10) years including options, therefore requiring Council approval.

Financial Implications

Any future building constructed and/or required site works on the subject land parcel will be at the full cost of the WSWA, with the only contribution from the City being to establish the road access and associated parking as mentioned earlier in this report.  All ongoing maintenance of the building and the leased area will also be the responsibility of WSWA.

 

The City has included the car park and access road in its Capital Works Program 2021/22 the amount of $450,000.

Previous Items:                                   CS10-03/18 - Agreed Structure Plan No. 3 -  Amendment and Support to Lease - 76 Ashley Road, Tapping - Ordinary Council - 27 Mar 2018 7.00pm       

 

Issue

To consider a proposed agreement for lease (incorporating a ground lease) to the Scout Association of Australia, Western Australia Branch Inc. (Scouts WA) over Lot 1 (76) Ashley Road, Tapping (Premises), to facilitate the development of a scout hall with shared use community facilities.

Background

Site Information

The Premises (also known as Lot 1 on Deposited Plan 69528) is a 5,000m2 freehold parcel, owned by the City (Attachment 1 refers).  The Premises is a vacant Community Purpose site, located within the East Wanneroo Cell 1 ASP (ASP) and currently zoned ‘Urban Development’ under the MRS and ‘Civic and Cultural’ under DPS2.  The site forms part of the Public Open Space calculations for Cell 1 pursuant to the City’s DPS2.

The site is bounded by Ashley Park (Reserve 27071, being Crown land managed by the City under a Management Order for the purpose of ‘Conservation’) to the west and south, and residential strata units to the immediate east. The site is opposite Jimbub Reserve to the north.

Original Allocation of Land to Scouts WA

Following an expression of interest process during 2017 and early 2018, Council approved the allocation of the Premises to Scouts WA for the development of a scout hall with shared use community facilities (item CS10-03/18):

That Council:-

1.       AUTHORISES Administration to initiate an amendment to the East Wanneroo Agreed Structure Plan No. 3 (Cell 1) to rezone Lot 1 (76) Ashley Road, Tapping from Residential (R20) to Civic and Cultural;

2.       SUPPORTS in-principle the proposed development of Lot 1 (76) Ashley Road, Tapping, as a shared community facility by the Scout Association of Australia Western Australia Branch Inc. (Scouts WA) subject to the approval of 1. above, for a maximum of 2 years from the date of resolution;

3.       AUTHORISES the Chief Executive Officer to provide and sign a letter to Scouts WA to effect 2. above, to enable Scouts WA to request funding to facilitate the proposed project; and

4.       NOTES Administration will present further reports to Council regarding the Structure Plan Amendment and any Agreement for Lease and Lease with Scouts WA.

 

Administration progressed with the amendment to the ASP zoning referred in item 1 of the above resolution, with this being finalised on 13 September 2019 as part of Amendment 27 to the ASP.

However, Scouts WA was unable to provide confirmation that it had secured funding to undertake the proposed development within the 2 year time period identified in item 2 of the resolution. 

The funding position changed during 2021, when Scouts WA re-submitted its original proposal and confirmed to Administration that it had secured a $3 million grant from the State to fund the development (Attachments 2 and 3 refer). 

Accordingly, the negotiations with Scouts WA have resumed and the proposal is at a stage of submitting the terms of the Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease for Council approval.

Detail

Lease negotiation

Following extensive lease negotiations with Scouts WA during late 2021 and early 2022, the following proposed essential terms for an Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease have been presented to Scouts WA and agreed in principle.

Land:

Lot 1 (76) Ashley Road, Tapping

 

Premises:

The whole of the Land

 

Lessee:

Scout Association of Australia, Western Australia Branch Inc.

 

Conditions Precedent:

 

Subject to and conditional upon the following conditions precedent:

 

·    Council approval of the Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease;

·    Lessee securing funding for the Lessee Works, to the Lessee’s absolute satisfaction; and

·    Lessee applying for and obtaining all approvals to undertake the Lessee Works.

 

The final time period for satisfaction of the conditions precedent is subject to negotiation and agreement with Scouts WA, but is anticipated to be 12 months following the execution of the Agreement for Lease.

 

Handover Date:

 

Access to the Premises for the Lessee Works not permitted until the last occurring of:

 

·    the Minister for Lands’ consent to Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease;

·    the date the Lessee receives all approvals for the Lessee Works, including the approval of its development application and building licence; and

·    the execution of the Agreement for Lease.

 

Estimated Practical Completion of Lessee Works Date:

The date being 24 months from satisfaction of the last of all necessary approvals, or such later date agreed in writing by the parties (in their absolute discretion).

 

Sunset Date:

 

If the Lessee does not complete the development in accordance with the Agreement for Lease, the City may terminate the arrangement.

 

Lessee Works:

 

Construction of the Lessee’s proposed scout hall and community facility development. 

 

A preliminary concept plan (Attachment 4 refers) has been prepared by Scouts WA (submitted to the City in November 2021), but will need to be approved by the City before Scouts WA seeks its development approvals and commences construction.

 

The City’s approval as lessor is in addition to the planning approval process for the Lessee Works.  In this context, it is anticipated that the works will need to conform with design principles and aesthetic standards required by the City for a community development.

 

Development & Approvals:

To be in accordance with agreed development plans and specifications (subject to review and approval by the City), all required approvals and consents from all relevant statutory bodies and in compliance with applicable legislation and regulations.

 

Provision of or Upgrade of all required Services/Utilities:

 

Lessee accepts the Premises in an ‘as is’ condition, based on its own enquiries, and without any requirement for the City to undertake any preliminary works or upgrades.

 

Fencing:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Earthworks:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Fit out:

By Lessee at its sole cost

 

Insurance:

All required insurances to be arranged by Lessee at its sole cost (including, but not limited to) contractors’ all risk (CAR), public liability (minimum $20 million) and adequate workers’ compensation insurance.

 

Indemnity:

The Lessee indemnifies the City against all losses which the City suffers or incurs in connection with any damage, loss, injury or death arising directly or indirectly from the construction, installation or carrying out of the development/works.

 

Practical Completion:

Practical completion of the Lessee Works occurs when the City has inspected the Lessee Works and is satisfied that the Lessee Works have been carried out and is in compliance with all approvals.

 

Practical Completion of the Lessee Works will result in the Ground Lease commencing on the next day, on the terms outlined below and in accordance with a template version of the Ground Lease which will be attached to the Agreement for Lease.

 

 

Ground Lease

 

Rent:

$1 per annum plus GST.

 

Given that the site is freehold land, Administration engaged a licensed valuer to determine the current market rental and sale values.  A valuation report dated 1 December 2021 noted a market rental value of $62,500 (plus GST) per annum and a sale value of $1.25 million plus GST. 

 

Due to the site being ground leased to Scouts WA, which will be responsible for all approval, development and operating costs, a commercial rent is not recommended for the proposed lease.  However, the market rental value remains relevant to the extent of the City’s contribution to the Scouts WA project.

 

Term:

10 years, commencing on the Commencement Date.

 

Commencement Date:

The day after Practical Completion of the Lessee Works as described in the Agreement for Lease.

 

Option Term:

 

5 years

Permitted Purpose:

Community meeting rooms and office, including scout hall and shared community use space.

 

Rates & Taxes:

Lessee responsible for all rates (including Council rates and water rates), taxes, assessments and impositions.

 

Outgoings:

Lessee responsible for all outgoings (not limited to) electricity, gas, water and telephone/broadband used in relation to the Premises whether billed directly or otherwise.

 

Building Insurance:

Lessee responsibility

 

 

Public Liability Insurance:

 

Lessee responsibility – Minimum $20 million

 

 

Other Insurance:

Lessee responsibility

 

Maintenance:

Lessee responsible to maintain the Premises.

 

The Lessee’s maintenance responsibilities include structural and capital works, given that the lease is on a ground lease basis.

 

End of Term:

 

Ownership of all improvements erected or constructed by the Lessee remains the property of the Lessee, but will revert to the City at the expiration of the Ground Lease.

At the expiration of the Ground Lease, the City reserves the right to request the Lessee to demolish the improvements to the Land and return the Land to the City in a vacant condition.

 

Security:

Provision of a bond by Scouts WA is subject to further negotiation and agreement.

 

Administration notes that Scouts WA has advised to date that it does not generally provide a bond.  However, the lack of a bond would be a commercial risk for the City, which may incur site assessment, maintenance or demolition costs if Scouts WA abandoned the Premises before the expiry of the Ground Lease or if Scouts WA breached its obligations.  In this context, Administration will continue work with Scouts WA to determine a bond amount, which may prove to be nominal when compared to the extent of the development.

 

 

The draft Agreement for Lease and the draft Ground Lease were prepared by Administration, based on City templates which have been used for similar transactions.  The documentation has been approved in principle by Scouts WA, but remains subject to the City’s final legal review (either by the City’s Legal Services or by an external lawyer from the City’s legal panel).

Consultation

Relevant service units, including Infrastructure Capital Works, Community Development and Community Facilities have been consulted in the course of the lease discussions and related considerations.

Administration has been liaising extensively with Scouts WA to reach agreement on the Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease.

Public consultation occurred with the original expression of interest in 2018.  Given that the City has only attracted limited interest in the Premises since that time, Administration recommends that no further expression of interest process is necessary before proceeding with the proposed Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease with Scouts WA.

Noting that the Premises is owned by the City in freehold, the Minister for Lands is not required to approve the new Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease.

Comment

Council resolved in March 2018 to support the allocation of the Premises to Scouts WA.  Since that time:

 

·        Interest in the Premises from other community groups has been very limited, which does not justify a further expression of interest process;

·        The Carramar Scout Group are still operating out of its temporary base at St Stephen’s School and lack a permanent base, which impacts programming opportunities and growth; and

·        Scouts WA has now secured a significant State grant, which should ensure the viability of the development.

 

Accordingly, Administration recommends the proposed Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease to Scouts WA as outlined in this report.  The proposed transaction will enable Scouts WA to move the Carramar Scout Group into a purpose built facility, with the facility to provide scope for use by the wider community.   

Statutory Compliance

Under regulation 30 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 (WA), the proposed Agreement for Lease and Ground Lease to Scouts WA is an exempt disposition of property to which section 3.58 of the Act does not apply.

 

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

The above risk/s relating to the issue contained within this report have been identified and considered within the City’s Strategic/Corporate risk register. Action plans have been developed to manage this risk to support existing management systems.

Policy Implications

The negotiation of the Agreement for Lease and the Ground Lease has been conducted in accordance with the City's Leasing Policy.  The only exception is the rent, which is recommended to be peppercorn, due to Scouts WA bearing all approval, development and operating costs.

Financial Implications

Any future building construction and related site works at 76 Ashley Road will be at the full cost of Scouts WA, with no contribution from the City. All ongoing maintenance of the building and the leased area will also be the responsibility of Scouts WA.

 

Scouts WA has secured funding for this project through a $3 million grant from the State.

Subsequent to that Special Council meeting, Cr Natalie Herridge, Cr Jacqueline Huntley and Cr Jordan Wright have individually contacted the administration to request that their appointment to the Audit and Risk Committee be considered by Council. This report provides the opportunity for Council to consider these requests.

Detail

The establishment of Committees and groups assists the Council to perform its legislative responsibilities and to seek valuable engagement with the community.

The Audit and Risk Committee is one of five established Committees in accordance with Section 5.8 of the Local government Act 1995 (the Act) to assist with the functions of the City of Wanneroo.

The role of the Audit and Risk Committee is to support the Council in fulfilling its governance and oversight responsibilities in relation to financial reporting, internal control structure, risk management, internal and external audit functions and ethical accountability.

The current Terms of Reference for the Audit and Risk Committee are attached (refer Attachment 1).

The Terms of Reference provide that the appointment of membership to the Committee must comprise a minimum of three members, the majority to be Elected Members with one position to be occupied by the Mayor. Council may determine to appoint one or more persons to the Committee who are external and independent to the Council. There is currently no upper limitation on the total number of members appointed to the Committee.

 

In accordance with Section 5.11 of the Act:

“…(1)         Where a person is appointed as a member of a committee under section 5.10(4) or (5), the person’s membership of the committee continues until –

 

                            …(d)           the next ordinary elections day,…”

 

An absolute majority decision of Council is required to appoint or remove a Committee member.

The current Committee members were appointed following the 2021 Local Government Election with their tenure due to expire on 21 October 2023, being the next ordinary Local Government Election Day.

Cr Natalie Herridge, Cr Jordan Wright and Cr Jacqueline Huntley are not current members of the Audit and Risk Committee. The three Councillors have contacted the administration requesting that Council consider their appointment to this Committee.

Consultation

Comment

Council is requested to consider the appointment of the Councillors listed above to the Audit and Risk Committee. There is no legislative or procedural impediment to the Council supporting the request received from the Councillors. The previous membership of the Audit and Risk Committee (prior to October 2021) consisted of all 15 members of the then Council body.

Membership to the Committee provides a valuable opportunity for Council Members to receive information and discuss matters relating to the City’s affairs and legislative responsibilities, including policies, finances and accountability.

Statutory Compliance

The Local Government Act 1995 – Sections 5.8 - Establishment of Committees, Section 5.9 Committees, types of, Section 5,10 Committee members, appointment of, and Section 5.11 Committee membership, tenure of.

 

Strategic Implications

Issue

To consider the City’s submission on the Draft Gnangara Groundwater Allocation Plan (GGAP).

Background

At its meeting on 5 May 2020 (CE02-05/20), Council endorsed the Agribusiness Position paper: A Thriving Agri-precinct in Wanneroo.

The City’s Agribusiness Position Paper acknowledges that the Gnangara groundwater system is over-allocated and continuing to over-use the system will only further reduce groundwater levels, reduce water quality and damage the groundwater dependent environment. However, the Agribusiness Position Paper holds the State Government to account on water availability and long term water security by requesting the State Government and Federal Government work together to reduce or remove barriers to agriculture expansion and ultimately provide the industry with the confidence to invest in Wanneroo over the long term.

It is noted that “Perth Water Security” including water supply and resilience has been identified as a new high priority initiative to be implemented within the next five years by Infrastructure Australia on its Infrastructure Priority List. It is also noted that Western Australia is the only state that has not implemented the National Water Initiative.

The City has previously collaborated with DWER to develop the North West Corridor Water Supply Strategy (DoW 2014). This strategy has resulted in significant water efficiency initiatives being implemented in the North West Coastal Growth Corridor as new developments progress.

The GGAP was released for comment in November and since then the City has been engaging with the growers in North Wanneroo to seek input and guidance into a submission to DWER. DWER also held an information session for water licensees to learn about the plan. Representatives from DWER presented an overview of the GGAP to Council at a Forum on 1 February2022. This also provided the opportunity for Council Members to ask questions regarding the content of the GGAP.

Administration has drafted a submission on the GGAP for Council to consider. The submission consists of a letter to DWER (shown as Attachment 1) and a table of more specific comments and recommendations (shown as Attachment 2)

The GGAP is open for comment until 28 February 2022 and it is acknowledged that a large number of water users in the City are expected to submit feedback to DWER on the GGAP.

Detail

The GGAP proposes a series of water cuts to users of the groundwater system. For most licensed users, this is proposed to be a 10% reduction from 2028. The reduction for public water supply (WaterCorp) is proposed to be 27% and the sprinkler roster for domestic garden bore use is proposed to be aligned with the two days per week sprinkler roster for scheme users.

Consistent with the City’s Agribusiness Position Paper, Administration agrees with the overall need to reduce groundwater abstraction. However, the impact on the Agribusiness sector of reduced water supply is unacceptable.

The main source of information on the proposed reductions can be found on page 42 of the GGAP in Table 5. The impact of the proposal on each water user category is outlined below.

Note that this report uses the following volume measures for water:

One Million Litres = 1 Megalitre (ML)

One thousand million litres = 1 Gigalitre (GL)

WaterCorp

WaterCorp currently uses 110.8GL of water using 22 licenses (bores), representing 40% of all water abstracted from the Gnangara mound (274.2GL per annum). It is the biggest user of groundwater by a very substantial margin. However, in terms of licensed users only (currently 238.2 GL per annum), WaterCorp usage represents 46.5% of licensed water abstracted.

The GGAP proposes that the WaterCorp reduces its abstraction to 80.7GL per annum and that the total abstraction for licensed users be reduced from 238.2GL per annum to 197.9GL per annum. This would mean that WaterCorp would be extracting 40.8% of the total for licensed users.

The City considers that the current and proposed level of abstraction by WaterCorp is unsustainable and if left unchanged will continue to have the most significant detrimental impact on the groundwater system by far of any user. The City proposes that WaterCorp needs to further reduce its abstraction to ensure that other users are not unfairly impacted by reductions to their capacity to use water for commercial agricultural purposes.

Agriculture Users

Agriculture users currently abstract 61.9GL of water per annum across 1,820 licenses, representing 26.0% of water abstracted by licensed users. Given the economic benefit of agriculture to the economy in the region, this seems to be a very reasonable proportion given the very large number of users/licenses that benefit from the water and the food production outcomes.

The GGAP proposes that agriculture users reduce abstraction from 61.9Gl per annum to 56.5GL per annum. However, analysis of the proposed reductions shows that the impact is very different across the region as outlined in the following table.

 Source: Draft Gnangara Groundwater Allocation Plan p42

The table indicates that overall, agriculture users would need to reduce abstraction by 5.4GL per annum or 8.7% of the current total agriculture use. However, the East Wanneroo area is proposed to reduce its water abstraction by only 2%.

The resulting mega litres per annum reduction per licensed agriculture user indicates considerable inequity across users. Under the GGAP, North Wanneroo growers would need to reduce on average 6.9 million litres per annum for each license, whereas Swan Valley users would need to reduce by 1.4 million litres per annum per licence. The proposal would result in Gingin agriculture users losing access to 14.6 million litres of water per annum per licence. This inequitable situation would be untenable for the agriculture industry.

Work by DPIRD in 2019 concluded that there were opportunities for growers to be more efficient by modernising their irrigation systems. In 2021, the State Government established a $600,000 water efficiency infrastructure and technology grants program. Feedback from growers indicates that the grants are unlikely to have any significant impact on water efficient systems infrastructure investment. The best incentive for growers to be more water efficient is to ensure that any efficiency gains are be realised through more available water for production increases.

The City of Wanneroo proposes that all agriculture users are made exempt from reductions to their licence and that the required 5.4GL reduction overall is passed on to WaterCorp given that the State needs to be responsible for water infrastructure to ensure equitable supply and that the above 1,820 agriculture licenses should not be unfairly impacted.

There is no mention in the GGAP of the potential for growers to be compensated for any water cuts. The City understands that in other jurisdictions in Australia, compensation is a factor when growers are impacted by water entitlement reductions.

Parks, Gardens and Recreation

GGAP proposes a 10% reduction for irrigating parks, gardens and other recreational green spaces (3.4GL/year).

The approach for allocating groundwater for the North West urban corridor was established in the North West Corridor Water Supply Strategy (DoW 2014). Because changes to water allocation have already been made, the use of groundwater by the City of Wanneroo, urban developers, schools and other licensees in this area will not be reduced.

Potential impacts of the 10% cut to parks, gardens and recreation in other areas of the City include:

·        A need for a reduction in irrigated areas within established parks to be achieved through hydro-zoning - converting existing irrigated turf areas to mulch, trees and water wise plant species on reduced irrigation during establishment and then switching irrigation off to these areas;

·        Further hydro-zoning to active sports fields and passive parks to only irrigate sports fields and areas around playgrounds and buildings with reduced or irrigation to other grassed areas;

·        Switching irrigation supply off to streetscapes which will result in loss of existing vegetation and visual appeal;

·        An ongoing need to prioritise available ground water for the irrigating of active sports fields and reduce irrigation in passive parks;

·        Increased annual operating costs to turf management programs to increase renovations and apply more nutrients and wetting agents to encourage deep root growth in turf and increase the water holding capacity in soil profiles; and

·        Increased capital costs to install SMART technology including moisture probes and extend the installation of dosing units to passive parks to all parks to increase the effectiveness of irrigation applications.

 

The City proposes that Parks, Gardens and Recreation green spaces are not subject to 3.4GL per annum cuts and aligned to schools and hospitals with no reductions. This needs to be considered in the context of the City already committing to exceptional standards of water efficiency in its operations.

Other Licensed Users

Schools & Hospitals: no reduction for schools and hospitals, as well as a small number of other specified purposes and locations.

Industry & Mining: 10% reduction for most other licenced water users such as industry and mining (1.4GL/year).

Unlicensed stock and domestic use

A reduction to domestic garden bore water use is proposed and will be achieved by aligning the garden bore sprinkler roster with the scheme roster in the Perth/Mandurah area from September 2022 (savings of up to 13.6GL/year by changing to a two-days-a-week roster between 1 September and 31 May).

Initiatives and incentives

The draft GGAP also outlines a number of initiatives, incentives and grants designed to support water users to adjust to reductions and encourage all water users to reduce their water usage.

Consultation

DWER sent letters (dated 23 November 2021) to all water licence holders to inform them the draft GGAP has been released for public consultation and to encourage licence holders to provide their feedback. DWER also held a drop-in information session at the Wanneroo Tavern on 15 December 2021 for all licence holders. DWER staff have informed the City that approximately 100 people attended the session in total.

To develop the City’s submission, input has been sought from the following internal departments; Advocacy & Economic Development, Strategic Land Use Planning, Property Development, Asset Planning and Parks & Conservation Management. In relation to agricultural users the City has consulted on multiple occasions with the North Wanneroo Growers Group. The City also undertook extensive public consultation in 2019-2020 to develop the endorsed Agribusiness Position Paper and the City’s draft submission is consistent and aligned to this endorsed position.

Comment

One of the main objectives of the GGAP is “the maintenance of a reliable water source”. A natural water source such as groundwater cannot be considered reliable given there is no control over temperature or rainfall combined with climate change impacts. The GGAP fails to appropriately address how the State Government plans to develop a reliable water source such as a new desalination plant and recycled wastewater treatment plant. Expanded desalination and recycled wastewater infrastructure has the ability to provide a consistently reliable public water supply for Perth and Peel as the population continues to grow. The GGAP relies on reductions to licences for most users which is an unsustainable long term solution as it is expected that climate change in Western Australia will result in a hotter, drier climate further reducing groundwater levels whilst simultaneously increasing irrigation requirements for growers. Whilst WaterCorp has the resources and ability to source water elsewhere, other users do not and rely solely on the groundwater supply.

Administration proposes that the City recommends no impact is acceptable to agricultural licence holders in the Gnangara Groundwater Area. The following provides an overview of the City’s draft submission to DWER on the GGAP:

·        The Agriculture industry and its individual operators using 1,820 licenses have very limited ability to scale up any sort of water infrastructure provision other than utilising the water resource more efficiently – which in most cases is already happening.

·        Reductions to licences for these users will impact productivity and profitability.

·        Reductions to licences is likely to result in a large number of growers needing to move operations to areas with adequate water supply or losing this economic activity and food production altogether.

·        This will have a flow on impact to land use planning for the vacated areas as well as the new areas with associated sustainability impacts.

·        Proposed reductions will also have a negative impact on parks, gardens and recreational green spaces.

 

As an alternative, Administration has included following main points in its submission to DWER for consideration:

·        WaterCorp has the capacity in terms of financial and infrastructure development capability to develop alternative water supplies so it can significantly reduce its abstraction of water from the Gnangara groundwater system.

·        WaterCorp operating surplus after tax in 2021 was $879 million.

·        WaterCorp annual report indicates that it supplies 269.14 GL of water to the Perth and Peel region. This means that the 110.8 GL abstracted from the Gnangara groundwater system represents 41.7% of ALL Perth and Peel water supply.

·        Even with the GGAP proposed reduction to 80.7GL, it would still represent 30% of the total Perth and Peel water supply.

·        WaterCorp uses this relatively cheap water source to make its significant profit which should be invested in the development of a reliable water source (desalination and recycled treated wastewater) and public water infrastructure

·        The City of Wanneroo recommends WaterCorp immediately commence the required works to deliver the planned Alkimos Desalination Plant in Alkimos by 2028 to replace WaterCorp’s unsustainable abstraction from the Gnangara groundwater system. A recycled wastewater treatment plant at Alkimos also needs proper consideration and can be implemented well within the timeframe.

·        The City recommends aligning parks, gardens and recreational green spaces with schools and hospitals to be exempt from 3.4GL per annum water reductions.

 

WaterCorp, DWER and the State Government generally have the capacity to address the above. Noting that Infrastructure Australia has identified “Perth Water Security” including water supply and resilience as national a priority, there should be considerable opportunity for the State Government to seek and receive federal funding to achieve more sustainable water supply outcomes for the State.

Western Australia is still the only state in Australia that has not implemented the National Water Initiative (NWI). Under the NWI, the State Government would need to commit to:

·        Prepare comprehensive water plans;

·        Achieve sustainable water use in over-allocated or stressed water systems;

·        Introduce registers of water rights and standards for water accounting;

·        Expand trade in water rights;

·        Improve pricing for water storage and delivery; and

·        Better manage urban water demands.

 

This would need to be achieved through appropriate legislation.

The GGAP indicates that licence duration for self-supply water users will remain at 10 years.

Water licenses in other states are granted for significantly longer periods than 10 years under water access entitlements consistent with the NWI. In some cases this access is granted in perpetuity and provides great certainty for industry.

The City recommends that Western Australia implements the NWI with appropriate legislation as a priority and commit to the above operational initiatives.

Issue

To consider the City of Wanneroo’s (the City) response to the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (the Department) discussion paper on proposed reforms to the Local Government Act 1995.

Background

The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (the Department) is proposing major changes to the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act) and Regulations, which in their view will provide for a stronger, more consistent framework for local government across Western Australia.

The reforms are based on the findings and recommendations of a number of reports and consultation undertaken over the past five years, and according to the Department represent the most significant package of reforms to local government in Western Australia since the Local Government Act 1995 was introduced more than 25 years ago.

Detail

The proposed reforms are based on six themes:

·        Earlier intervention, effective regulation and stronger penalties.

·        Reducing red tape, increasing consistency and simplicity.

·        Greater transparency and accountability.

·        Stronger local democracy and community engagement.

·        Clear roles and responsibilities.

·        Improved financial management and reporting.

 

i)          The reforms will introduce new measures to proactively address dysfunction in local government earlier including the establishment of a new Local Government Inspector, who will be appointed to investigate and manage complaints, and will have the powers of a standing inquiry.

ii)         The Inspector will be supported by specialist independent monitors who can be appointed to work within a local government to resolve problems.  Local governments will also be able to proactively request the assistance of monitors, who will have a range of expertise such as governance, financial management and conflict resolution.

iii)         A separate Conduct Panel will replace the existing Standards Panel. The Conduct Panel will review more serious complaints and assess evidence provided by the Local Government Inspector. 

iv)        The Conduct Panel will have powers to impose stronger penalties.  Under the current Act, there are limited penalties for certain types of non-compliance with the Act.  Councillors could be suspended for up to three months for breaching the Act or regulations on more than one occasion.  If a councillor has been suspended multiple times, they could become disqualified from office. 

v)         Disqualified councillors will not be eligible for sitting fees or allowances or be able to attend meetings. Councillors who do not complete mandatory training within a certain timeframe will also not be able to receive sitting fees or allowances.

vi)        Amendments are proposed to encourage and enable local governments, especially smaller regional local governments, to share resources, including Chief Executive Officers and senior employees.

vii)       Councils will be required to record meetings and make them available online. Larger local governments will be required to livestream meetings and make video recordings available as public archives.  Council meeting recordings will need to be published at the same time as the meeting minutes.

viii)      New online registers will be set up to provide greater accountability to ratepayers covering areas such as leases, community grants, contracts and declared conflicts of interest.

ix)        Increased community engagement including direct election of mayors in larger local governments, the introduction of preferential voting and new rules which will outline the number of elected members on any given council, based on population within the local government.

x)         Reforms to crack down on the use of 'sham leases'.

xi)        The introduction of a mandatory state-wide caretaker period for all local governments.

xii)       A new requirement for all local governments to implement a rates and revenue strategy to provide ratepayers with greater clarity around the setting of rates.

xiii)      The role and responsibilities of councillors and local government CEOs will be further defined in the Act, helping provide a clearer delineation between the functions of council and the CEO.

xiv)      Cutting red tape by streamlining procedures, approvals and local laws across local government.

 

Consultation

WALGA are concurrently consulting with the local government sector on the reform proposals.  As a Council endorsed position will not be finalised to meet the WALGA deadline, a draft submission will be provided to WALGA by 28 January 2022 subject to Council’s endorsement at its Council meeting on 15 February 2022.  The Department’s deadline is 25 February 2022.

The City’s submissions are informed by several rounds of previous submissions made by the City in 2019 and 2020, as well as those previously provided by both WALGA and the local Government Professionals Association.

Following discussions at the Council Forum meeting of 31 January 2022, the submission has been slightly amended under the following sections:-

2.3     Introduce Innovation Provisions.

3.1     Recoding and Live-Streaming of All Council Meetings.

3.3     Clearer Guidance for Matters that may be confidential.

5.2     Greater Role clarity:

5.2.1  Mayor or Presidents Role.

5.7     Remove WALGA from the Act.

6.6     Audit Committees.

 

Comment

The Department suggests that the reform proposals are designed to deliver significant benefits for residents and ratepayers, small business, industry, elected members and professionals working in the sector.

The Department intends that the reforms will make sure that the decision-making process is transparent and accountable, help local governments do more for their ratepayers by removing the burden of red tape where possible, and implement changes that improve the democratic process and encourage more community engagement.

The City’s submission is informed by its internal policies and procedures and several rounds of submissions previously provided to the Department on this point by the City, WALGA and the Local Government Professionals Association.

Statutory Compliance

Local Government Act 1995

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

CURRENT PROVISIONS

PROPOSED REFORMS

WALGA AND L G PROFESSIONALS POSITION

CITY OF WANNEROO PREVIOUS POSITIONS

CURRENT SUBMISSION

THEME 1: EARLY INTERVENTION, EFFECTIVE REGULATION AND STRONGER PENALTIES

1.1 Early Intervention Powers

 

 

·      The Act provides the means to regulate the conduct of local government staff and council members and sets out powers to scrutinise the affairs of local government. The Act provides certain limited powers to:

Suspend or dismiss councils

Appoint Commissioners

Suspend or, order remedial action (such as training) for individual councillors.

·      The Act also provides the Director General with the power to:

Conduct Authorised Inquiries

Refer allegations of serious or recurrent breaches to the State Administrative Tribunal

Commence prosecution for an offence under the Act.

·      Authorised Inquiries are a costly and a relatively slow response to significant issues. Authorised Inquiries are currently the only significant tool for addressing significant issues within a local government.

·      The Panel Report, City of
Perth Inquiry, and the Select Committee Report made various recommendations related to the establishment of a specific office for local government oversight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·      It is proposed to establish a Chief Inspector of Local Government (the Inspector), supported by an Office of the Local Government Inspector (the Inspectorate).

·      The Inspector would receive minor and serious complaints about elected members.

·      The Inspector would oversee complaints relating to local government CEOs.

·      Local Governments would still be responsible for dealing with minor behavioural complaints.

·      The Inspector would have powers of a standing inquiry, able to investigate and intervene in any local government where potential issues are identified.

·      The Inspector would have the authority to assess, triage, refer, investigate, or close complaints, having regard to various public interest criteria – considering laws such as the Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Act 2003, the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984, the Building Act 2011, and other legislation.

·      The Inspector would have powers to implement minor penalties for less serious breaches of the Act, with an appeal mechanism.

·      The Inspector would also have the power to order a local government to address non-compliance with the Act or Regulations.

·      The Inspector would be supported by a panel of Local Government Monitors (see item 1.2).

·      The existing Local Government Standards Panel would be replaced with a new Conduct Panel (see item 1.3).

·      Penalties for breaches to the Local Government Act and Regulations will be reviewed and are proposed to be generally strengthened (see item 1.4).

·      These reforms would be supported by new powers to more quickly resolve issues within local government (see items 1.5 and 1.6).

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Items 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 generally align with WALGA Advocacy Position 2.6.8 - ‘Establish Office of Independent Assessor’

The Local Government sector supports:

 

1.  Establishing an Office of the Independent Assessor to replace the Standards Panel to provide an independent body to receive, investigate and assess complaints against Elected Members and undertake inquiries.

2.  Remove the CEO from being involved in processing complaints.

3.  That an early intervention framework of monitoring to support Local Governments be provided with any associated costs to be the responsibility of the State Government.

4.  An external oversight model for local level behavioural complaints made under Council Member, Committee Member and Candidate Codes of Conduct, that is closely aligned to the Victorian Councillor Complaints Framework.

Comment

The Local Government sector is in favour of early intervention and a swift response to potentially disruptive or dysfunctional behaviours. The Proposed Reforms state ‘Local Governments would still be responsible for dealing with minor behavioural complaints’ and therefore do not go as far as the Sector’s recent request for an external oversight model for the independent assessment of local level complaints (State Council Res: 264.5/2021 – September 2021). However this will be mitigated with the Inspector able to respond to a Local Government having unresolved matters by appointing a monitor to assist the Local Government.

 

It is expected the Local Government Inspector would be funded by the State Government, however it is noted that the cost of the Local Government Monitors and the Conduct Panel would be borne by the Local Government concerned.

 

Recommendation

 

1.  Support the proposed reforms as they align with the sectors position on external oversight and support.

2.  Request the Minister to explore alternate mechanisms for resolving local level complaints.

 

 

L G Professionals Position

Noted.

This measure is intended to improve local government staff and elected member conduct.

 

It would be useful to fully understand the reporting and accountability relationships between the Inspector, Minister, Director General, Inspectorate, Conduct Panel and Department of Local Government, together with the level of resourcing available to enable the Inspector and Inspectorate to function effectively.

 

LG Professionals WA remains opposed to the concept of local governments dealing with minor behavioural complaints as suggested in dot point 4. We feel strongly that this is contrary to best practice and the principle of objectivity. The process of dealing with complaints that arise from breaches of behavioural standards is best dealt with independently.

 

It is unclear how dot point 3 would work and what type of complaint would give rise to an external investigation?

 

Submission on 6 February 2018 (CE03-02/18)

It is considered appropriate and good governance that the Minister have the authority to issue a remedial notice which the local government must comply with however the local government should be afforded the right to:

 

·      discuss the remedial notice with the Minister;

·      determine the appropriate approach to comply with the remedial notice; or

·      object to the remedial notice and have access to an appeal mechanism.

 

It is considered appropriate for local governments to have the ability to make a request to the Minister or the Director General for assistance with issues that are beyond the expertise or resources of the respective local government.

 

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19)

The Act should enable an external person to be appointed to work with a local government’s administration to improve governance and resolve problems however early intervention when requested by the local government (without the need for a breach to have occurred) is preferable.

 

The Department should not only seek compliance or act as an enforcement agency but instead be supportive and assist with capacity building.

 

The appointed person’s authority to be restricted to providing advice and support, especially by making recommendations to the Council. The State Government should pay for the appointed person unless the assistance of the appointed person is specifically required by the local government, which the local government should then pay.   

 

Where the appointed external person has been appointed at the request of the Council, the costs associated with the appointment is to be carried by the local government.

 

Submission on 22 September 2020 (CE03-09/20)

·         Complaints about the conduct of the CEO should be considered by the current oversight agencies such as the PSC or CCC. Issues in relation to CEO performance are to be addressed through the performance review process.

 

AND

 

·         The Office of the Inspector of Local Government remit should be limited to:

·          

·      assume regulatory function of the Department

·      replace the Standards Panel

·      receive complaints and referrals to investigate, assess and inquire into local government matters as directed by the Minister

·      report to the Minister where in Inspector’s opinion a local government may be failing to provide good government or Council member/s impeding the ability for the local government to do so

·      bring legal proceedings again Council members and employees for failing to comply with legislative obligations or the Code

·      The Department should be resourced to provide an advisory function to support local government.

·          

·         Submission on 4 December 2020 (CE01-12/20)

·          

·         A local government or Council should not have the obligation to investigate, manage, determine complaints regarding behavioural breaches.   All complaints under these Regulations (The Model Code of Conduct Regulations) should be investigated and determined by the Standards Panel or through an independent investigative body (as recommended by the City of Perth Inquiry Report), not through Council or the respective local government.

·          

·         Local governments have extremely limited investigative powers and no power to compel council members or committee members to engage in an investigation process.

·          

There is the potential to render a local government CEO’s position as untenable in circumstances where a CEO is required to undertake an investigation of a member of their employer body(council member) and report the findings to council for determination.

 

·         Further, the costs of engaging independent investigators can be significant. Both the Local Government Act Review Panel and the City of Perth Inquiry recommend that an independent body with both investigative and enforcement powers, be established to manage, investigate and determine complaints and allegations of breach. The City considers this the most appropriate complaints handling model.

·          

·         Submission to the Select Committee Inquiry on 15 August 2019 (CE01-08/19)

·          

Consideration should be given to the role of the CEO in managing and investigating complaints against Elected Members and it should be clear that the CEO is the key advisor to Elected Members and Council and it is not part of the CEO’s role to resolve complaints relating to Elected Member conduct.

 

The CEO has a statutory obligation to report minor and serious misconduct in accordance with the Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Act 2003 however any investigation of alleged serious misconduct by Elected Members should be undertaken by an external agency.

·          

Council employs, reviews the performance and terminates the employment of CEO.  It is both impractical and problematic for a CEO to have any responsibility to manage and/or deal with conduct issues involving Elected Members, who participate in the Council decision-making process impacting directly on the CEO’s employment.

 

GENERALLY SUPPORTED

 

It is generally supported that the Office of the Local Government Inspector is created as an independent oversight agency with the authority to deal with complaints about Council’s, Council Members and CEOs. 

 

However, the Office of the Local Government Inspector’s authority and jurisdiction must include minor behavioural complaints to ensure that local governments are removed from the complaints handling and determination process as this is a key area that leads to and has significant potential for Council dysfunction. It is unsustainable and inappropriate for complainants and respondents to be decision makers in such situations, and the anomaly in usual due process created by Division 3 must be rectified.

 

There needs to be an integration of functions under one Inspector including the jurisdiction for receiving and dealing with complaints, approving confidential sessions etc.

 

1.2 Local Government Monitors

 

 

·      There are currently no legislative powers for the provision of monitors/ temporary advisors.

·      The DLGSC provides support and advice to local governments, however there is no existing mechanism for pre-qualified, specialised assistance to manage complex cases.

·      A panel of Local Government Monitors would be established.

·      Monitors could be appointed by the Inspector to go into a local government and try to resolve problems.

·      The purpose of Monitors would be to proactively fix problems, rather than to identify blame or collect evidence. 

·      Monitors would be qualified specialists, such as:

Experienced and respected former Mayors, Presidents, and CEOs - to act as mentors and facilitators

Dispute resolution experts - to address the breakdown of professional working relationships

Certified Practicing Accountants and other financial specialists - to assist with financial management and reporting issues

Governance specialists and lawyers - to assist councils resolve legal issues

HR and procurement experts - to help with processes like recruiting a CEO or undertaking a major land transaction.

·      Only the Inspector would have the power to appoint Monitors.

·      Local governments would be able to make requests to the Inspector to appoint Monitors for a specific purpose.

Monitor Case Study 1 – Financial Management

The Inspector receives information that a local government is not collecting rates correctly under the Local Government Act 1995. Upon initial review, the Inspector identifies that there may be a problem. The Inspector appoints a Monitor who specialises in financial management in local government. The Monitor visits the local government and identifies that the system used to manage rates is not correctly issuing rates notices. The Monitor works with the local government to rectify the error, and issue corrections to impacted ratepayers.

Monitor Case Study 2 – Dispute Resolution

The Inspector receives a complaint from one councillor that another councillor is repeatedly publishing derogatory personal attacks against another councillor on social media, and that the issue has not been able to be resolved at the local government level. The Inspector identifies that there has been a relationship breakdown between the two councillors due to a disagreement on council.

The Inspector appoints a Monitor to host mediation sessions between the councillors. The Monitor works with the councillors to address the dispute. Through regular meetings, the councillors agree to a working relationship based on the council’s code of conduct. After the mediation, the Monitor occasionally makes contact with both councillors to ensure there is a cordial working relationship between the councillors.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

As above

LG Professionals Position

Noted.

Monitors will be activated by the Inspector where a need has been identified based on an investigation of a complaint.

Local Governments - either the Council or the CEO - can also make a request for assistance, but the parameters for such a request are not yet defined.

It is unlikely that monitors will be usable as a general consulting resource, net of their role in conjunction with the Inspectorate.

The costs of activating monitors as a consequence of the Inspector’s investigations will likely be borne by the LG and will fall outside of the adopted budget parameters.

If a CEO determines to request the urgent engagement of a monitor to address a problem, it should be within the scope of the CEO to do so without the need for an existing budget provision.

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19)

 

Establishment of an Office of the Independent Assessor

 

·      Be an independent body to receive, investigate and assess complaints against elected members and undertake inquiries. This removes the CEO from being involved in processing and determining complaints.

·      Be a statutory appointment by the Governor.

·      Upon assessment, refer the complaint back to the council (behaviour-related), the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) (serious breaches), or to another appropriate body (such as, Corruption and Crime Commission, Public Sector Commission, Ombudsman) according to the subject of the complaint.

·      Replace the Standards Panel by investigating and making determinations on Rules of Conduct breaches. SAT will determine the penalties.

·      Amongst other powers, have the power to investigate, to order compulsory mediation and to deal with abuses of process.

·      Be required to notify the CEO and council of any matters on a confidential basis.

·      Consideration should be given to the appropriate recognition and management of complaints by an elected member against a CEO or other senior officer, with one option for these to be investigated by the Office of the Independent Assessor.

·      Consideration should be given to the appropriate recognition and management of complaints by an elected member against a CEO or other senior officer, with one option for these to be investigated by the Office of the Independent Assessor.

There should be a power under the Act for the appointment of an acting CEO to temporarily take the place of a CEO if an investigation by the Office of Independent Assessor reveals serious deficiencies in the way the local government is administered.

 

GENERALLY SUPPORTED

Whilst advice and early intervention is welcomed, the role and scope of authority of a Local Government Monitor must be clearly defined and be consistent with the Ombudsman’s processes.

Query whether Local Government Monitors have authority and jurisdiction to assist with local level behavioural complaints.  Regardless of where this responsibility is delegated, the resolution of Division 3 complaints must not be attributed to local governments.

Clarification is required on details such as costs of Monitors and relationship with other agencies such as Ombudsman and Audit (eg Case Study 1).

 



1.3 Conduct Panel

 

 

·      The Local Government Standards Panel was established in 2007 to resolve minor breach complaints relatively quickly and provide the sector with guidance and benchmarks about acceptable standards of behaviour.

·      Currently, the Panel makes findings about alleged breaches based on written submissions.

·      The City of Perth Inquiry report made various recommendations that functions of the Local Government Standards Panel be reformed.

·      The Standards Panel is proposed to be replaced with a new Local Government Conduct Panel.

·      The Conduct Panel would be comprised of suitably qualified and experienced professionals. Sitting councillors will not be eligible to serve on the Conduct Panel.

·      The Inspector would provide evidence to the Conduct Panel for adjudication.

·      The Conduct Panel would have powers to impose stronger penalties – potentially including being able to suspend councillors for up to three months, with an appeal mechanism.

·      For very serious or repeated breaches of the Local Government Act, the Conduct Panel would have the power to recommend prosecution through the courts.

·      Any person who is subject to a complaint before the Conduct Panel would have the right to address the Conduct Panel before the Panel makes a decision.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

As above

LG Professionals Position

Noted.

It will be important for the Conduct Panel to be able to demonstrate its effectiveness and timeliness.

Submission on 6 February 2018 (CE03-02/18)

A Conduct Review Committee would provide a triage service for complaints however it would seem that this would be a waste of resources.

 

A preferable model would be to appropriately resource the Standards Panel to deal with all complaints and to provide the Standards Panel the authority to recommend alternative dispute resolution including mediation.

 

·         As a minimum there should be three members of the Standards Panel including a member with legal experience, a former (not serving) Elected Member or senior local government officer with extensive local government experience and an independent member (from either the Department or the Public Sector Commission).

·          

·         There should be a pool of Standards Panel members from which the Department Director General will alternatively select to be on the Standards Panel when the Standard Panels sits.

The Standards Panel should have the authority proposed for the Review Committee.

 

The jurisdiction of the Standards Panel to include acting as a judiciary and enforcement body in relation to the Code, standards of ethical conduct and behaviours and for good governance. The Standards Panel to also have the authority to stand down individual Council Members whose behaviour brings the local government into disrepute.

 

The Standards Panel should have the authority proposed for the Review Committee.

 

The Standards Panel should have the authority to impose mediation on the parties including other forms of alternative dispute resolution where the matter is suitable to be resolved in that manner.

 

SUPPORTED

 

It is appropriate that the Conduct Panel would have authority and jurisdiction to make enquiries (through the Office of the Local Government Inspector) in respect of matters and have the authority to impose stronger penalties.  This should include

Division 3 and 4 Complaints.  It is highly problematic, unsustainable and improper for a complainant and/or a respondent to also be a decision maker, and the anomaly created by Division 3 must be rectified, with the jurisdiction of resolving such complaint removed from local government.

 

Clarification should be provided in regards to the relationship and distinction between this role and that of the Inspector.

 

1.4 Review of Penalties

 

 

·      There are currently limited penalties in the Act for certain types of non-compliance with the Local Government Act.

·      Penalties for breaching the Local Government Act are proposed to be strengthened.

·      It is proposed that the suspension of councillors (for up to three months) is established as the main penalty where a councillor breaches the Local Government Act or Regulations on more than one occasion.

·      Councillors who are disqualified would not be eligible for sitting fees or allowances. They will also not be able to attend meetings, or use their official office (such as their title or council email address).

·      It is proposed that a councillor who is suspended multiple times may become disqualified from office.

·      Councillors who do not complete mandatory training within a certain timeframe will also not be able to receive sitting fees or allowances.

Current Local Government Position WALGA)

Items 1.4 and 1.5 expand upon Advocacy Position 2.6.9 - ‘Stand Down Proposal’

WALGA supports, in principle, a proposal for an individual elected member to be ‘stood down’ from their duties when they are under investigation, have been charged, or when their continued presence prevents Council from properly discharging its functions or affects the Council’s reputation, subject to further policy development work being undertaken. Further policy development of the Stand Down Provisions must involve active consultation with WALGA and specific consideration of the following issues of concern to the Sector:

1.  That the Department of Local Government endeavour to ensure established principles of natural justice and procedural fairness are embodied in all aspects of the proposed Stand Down Provisions; and

2.  That activities associated with the term ‘disruptive behaviour’, presented as reason to stand down a defined Elected Member on the basis their continued presence may make a Council unworkable, are thoroughly examined and clearly identified to ensure there is awareness, consistency and opportunity for avoidance.

 

Comment

The Local Government sector has long-standing advocacy positions supporting stronger penalties as a deterrent to disruptive Council Member behaviours. Clear guidance will be required to ensure there is consistent application of the power given to Presiding Members.

 

Recommendation

Supported

 

LG Professionals Submission

Noted.

Clarification required regarding timing of implementation, especially with regards to mandatory training requirements - currently 12 months. Will penalties apply automatically on expiration of deadlines?

Discussion with the Minister’s Office has clarified that dot point 3 should refer to “Councillors who are suspended” rather than “Councillors who are disqualified”.

 

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-03/19)

 

Question:  Depending on the nature of the allegation, different parties are responsible for receiving allegations of breaches of the Act.

Should the Department responsible for local government be responsible for receiving all allegations of breaches of the Act?

 

Response:  Yes but also consider the Victorian model and the role of a Local Government Commissioner and the oversight body for local government.

SUPPORTED

 

Stronger penalties for breach of the Local Government Act is supported.

 

It is suggested that should a Council Member be disqualified more than twice, then that Council Member should remain disqualified for a minimum of a full election cycle.

1.5 Rapid Red Card Resolutions

 

 

·      Currently, local governments have different local laws and standing orders that govern the way meetings run. Presiding members (Mayors and Presidents) are reliant on the powers provided in the local government standing orders local laws.

·      Differences between local governments is a source of confusion about the powers that presiding members have to deal with disruptive behaviours at council meetings.

·      Disruptive behaviour at council meetings is a very common cause of complaints. Having the Presiding Member be able to deal with these problems should more quickly resolve problems that occur at council meetings.

 

·      It is proposed that Standing Orders are made consistent across Western Australia (see item 2.6). Published recordings of all meetings would also become standard (item 3.1).

·      It is proposed that Presiding Members have the power to “red card” any attendee (including councillors) who unreasonably and repeatedly interrupt council meetings. This power would:

Require the Presiding Member to issue a clear first warning

If the disruptions continue, the Presiding Member will have the power to “red card” that person, who must be silent for the rest of the meeting. A councillor issued with a red card will still vote, but must not speak or move motions

If the person continues to be disruptive, the Presiding Member can instruct that they leave the meeting.

·      Any Presiding Member who uses the “red card” or ejection power will be required to notify the Inspector.

·      Where an elected member refuses to comply with an instruction to be silent or leave, or where it can be demonstrated that the presiding member has not followed the law in using these powers, penalties can be imposed through a review by the Inspector.

Current Local Government Position WALGA)

As above

LG Professionals Submission

Noted.

The “Red Card” proposal adds emphasis to the power of the Presiding Member to enforce behavioural standards.

Clarification was sought from the Minister on management of poor Presiding Member conduct, and he emphasised that the power for Council to dissent from the Presiding Member’s rulings would be part of the model Standing Orders.

Whilst poor Presiding Member behaviour should be escalated to the Inspectorate, this will not address behavioural issues at the time that they occur.

 

As above

SUPPORTED

Model Standing Orders that are consistent across all local governments is supported. 

The model must be robust and deal effectively with Council Member conduct at Council Meetings. In particular, special consideration in any model clauses must be given to the manner in which unacceptable behaviour can be controlled.

 

NOT SUPPORTED

Red card system is not supported as the Presiding Member should have the powers under the Standing Orders to deal with disruptive and unreasonable behaviour of Council Members.

Diminishing the capacity to engage on other items not related to a ‘red card’ incident presents governance risks and is inappropriate. The notion that an elected member may be ‘gagged’ may diminish community comfort in local government processes.

 

1.6 Vexatious Complaint Referrals

 

 

·      No current provisions.

·      The Act already provides a requirement for Public Question Time at council meetings.

·      Local governments already have a general responsibility to provide ratepayers and members of the public with assistance in responding to queries about the local government’s operations. Local governments should resolve queries and complaints in a respectful, transparent and equitable manner.

·      Unfortunately, local government resources can become unreasonably diverted when a person makes repeated vexatious queries, especially after a local government has already provided a substantial response to the person’s query.

·      It is proposed that if a person makes repeated complaints to a local government CEO that are vexatious, the CEO will have the power to refer that person’s complaints to the Inspectorate, which after assessment of the facts may then rule the complaint vexatious.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

 

Item 1.6 expands upon Advocacy Position 2.6.11 – ‘Vexatious complainants in relation to FOI applications’.

 

WALGA advocates for the Freedom of Information Act 1992 (WA) to be reviewed, including consideration of:

 

1.  Enabling the Information Commissioner to declare vexatious applicants similar to the provisions of section 114 of the Right to Information Act 2009 (QLD);

2.  Enabling an agency to recover reasonable costs incurred through the processing of a Freedom of Information access application where the application is subsequently withdrawn; and

3.  Modernisation to address the use of electronic communications and information.

Comment

The Act has been expanded significantly in recent years to permit an increased level of public involvement, scrutiny and access to information relating to the decisions, operations and affairs of Local Government in WA. Introducing a means to limit capacity for unreasonable complainants to negatively impact Local Governments will provide a necessary balance between the openness and transparency of the sector and the reasonable entitlement of citizens to interact with their Local Government.

Recommendation

Supported

 

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

Declaring complaints to be vexatious should in the first instance be determined locally, and then perhaps appealable to the inspectorate. In discussions with the LG Professionals WA Board the Minister was open to exploring this idea further.

 

 

 

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19)

Local governments should have the autonomy to develop their complaint management policies, however should consider best practice (Ombudsman Guidelines) and apply Australian Standards.

 

Local governments should deal with complaints through their established mechanisms (including appeals and reviews) and refer to external oversight bodies (Ombudsman and the Department) when those mechanisms have been exhausted.

 

There is a clear need for statutory provisions and procedures to be established to assist local governments in dealing with vexatious and frivolous complainants, to ensure the appropriate balance is achieved in providing natural justice and procedural fairness to the complainant and the resource intensive investigations undertaken to deal with the complaint.

 

It is not considered appropriate to establish a new statutory body as the WA Ombudsman provides sufficient guidance in this respect. Once the head of power is in place, this must be supported by robust guidelines from the DLGSC to ensure Local Governments are adequately equipped and supported to make a decision based on the guidelines.

SUPPORTED

 

Provisions in the Local Government Act to deal with vexatious, persistent and unreasonable complaints is strongly supported.

 

However, it is critical that there be clear alignments between the Act and the Ombudsman’s Complaint Guidelines, as the reform proposal does not currently align, and is likely to create confusion and tension.

1.7 Minor Other Reforms

 

 

·      Other minor reforms are being considered to enhance the oversight of local government.

·      Ministerial Circulars have traditionally been used to provide guidance to the local government sector.

·      Potential other reforms to strengthen guidance for local governments are being considered.

·      For example, one option being considered is the potential use of sector-wide guidance notices. Guidance notices could be published by the Minister or Inspector, to give specific direction for how local governments should meet the requirements of the Local Government Act and Regulations. For instance, the Minister could publish guidance notices to clarify the process for how potential conflicts of interests should be managed.

·      It is also proposed (see item 1.1) that the Inspector has the power to issue notices to individual local governments to require them to rectify non-compliance with the Act or Regulations.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Item 1.7 aligns with Advocacy Position 2.6 - ‘Support DLGSC as service provider / capacity builder’

WALGA supports the continuance of the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries as a direct service provider of compliance and recommend the Department fund its capacity building role through the utilisation of third party service providers. In addition, WALGA calls on the State Government to ensure there is proper resourcing of the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries to conduct timely inquiries and interventions when instigated under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1995.

Comment

Operational guidance from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries leads to consistent understanding and application of statutory provisions by Local Government. The proposed reform that the Inspector issue non-compliance notices appears to replicate the Minister’s powers under Section 9.14A – ‘Notice to prevent continuing contravention’

 

Recommendation

Supported

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

Guidance notices and templates should be prepared in consultation with LG Professionals WA and WALGA to ensure operational suitability and adaptability across the range of capacities that exist in the sector.

The Minister should not be seen as the author/publisher of any of these guidance resources, as it risks politicising the advice. Initial implementation guidance should come from the Director General and subsequent corrective guidance should come from the Inspector.

Any guidance advice should be cognisant of its resourcing implications.

 

SUPPORTED

THEME 2: REDUCING RED TAPE, INCREASING CONSISTENCY AND SIMPLICITY

2.1 Resource Sharing

·      The Act does not currently include specific provisions to allow for certain types of resource sharing – especially for sharing CEOs.

·      Regional local governments would benefit from having clearer mechanisms for voluntary resource-sharing.

·      Amendments are proposed to encourage and enable local governments, especially smaller regional local governments, to share resources, including Chief Executive Officers and senior employees.

·      Local governments in bands 2, 3 or 4 would be able to appoint a shared CEO at up to two salary bands above the highest band. For example, a band 3 and a band 4 council sharing a CEO could remunerate to the level of band 1.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Item 2.1 aligns with Advocacy Position 2.6 – Local Government Legislation – ‘Avoid red tape and ‘de-clutter’ the extensive regulatory regime that underpins the Local Government Act’ and Advocacy Position 2.3.1 - ‘Regional Collaboration’.

Local Governments should be empowered to form single and joint subsidiaries, and beneficial enterprises. In addition, compliance requirements of Regional Councils should be reviewed and reduced.

 

Comment

The proposed reforms will rely upon statutory provisions that enable and enhance regional collaboration. Recent over-regulation of Regional Subsidiaries in 2016 resulted in no subsidiaries being formed since that time. 

 

Recommendation

Supported

 

L G Professionals Submission

Supported.

The flexibility for sharing and remunerating CEOs needs to be reflected across all LG staff.

Compliance reviews and “Red Tape Reduction” will be necessary across a range of legislation and regulation, not just the Local Government Act, to make resource sharing truly effective.

The proposal should be applied to systems as much as staff. Common systems – payroll, finance, ICT, etc – simplifies and enables the joint usage of staff.

This proposal should be designed around creating the capacity to establish a fully integrated shared service function between multiple LGs as the ultimate expression of resource sharing.

It may also be useful to establish a role for the Inspector in promulgating or terminating arrangements, given the multi-organisational impacts of such decisions.

The proposal could also link to the innovation proposal and a principle based on sustainability, whereby collaboration between Local Governments (beyond boundaries and geographic restrictions) is encouraged.

Submission  05 March 2021 (CEO3-03/19)

The Act currently treats all local governments the same, regardless of their size and capacity. Through their peak bodies, the local government sector has long advocated for amendments which provide a tailored approach to local government governance to allow for the differences in capacity that are found across the State.

 

Additional support by the Department may be required for those local governments that do not have the capacity or limited resources.

 

Submission on  22 September 2021 (CEO3-09/20)

 

The Local Government Standards Panel recommendation included:-

·         ……….

 there is a need for mechanisms in the new

Act that would, on the one hand, encourage small councils to combine their efforts ‘upwards’ through regional cooperation and/or mergers, and on the other, enable large councils to devolve some of their responsibilities ‘downwards’ in order to promote effective community governance …..

 

And

 

·         a) The regional council model is discontinued.

·         b) A flexible model of joint (regional) and single (local) subsidiaries be introduced in order to enable collaboration between local governments; and/or involvement of local government in economic development including commercial activities.

 

City Submission: 

·         It is appropriate to consider that the authority and powers to establish and to provide Council Controlled Organisations should be provided to Regional Subsidiaries noting that WALGA’s 2012 “Metropolitan Local Government Review” submission stated:-

·         The third key plank of the Association’s position on shared services is for Local Governments to be enabled to establish Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs). This model is available to Local Governments in New Zealand where they are used for a variety of purposes. The model allows one or more Local Governments to establish a Local Government owned commercial organisation.

·          

·         In New Zealand, CCOs are employed:

·         “to carry out a broad range of functions where (in the opinion of the shareholding local authorities) the efficiency of delivering such functions would be enhanced by the creation of professionally governed entities established for the specific purpose and where the appropriate consultation and oversight measures are in place.”

·          

One key example of a function that could be undertaken by a Council Controlled Organisation is urban regeneration on a small, localised scale where low financial returns might be justified in pursuit of broader social objectives.

 

·         There are a number of benefits of the CCO model. Firstly, the CCO governance structure is flexible and will primarily consist of independent directors with experience relevant to the organisation’s purpose and undertakings.

·          

·         Secondly, while the broad purpose and objectives will be set at the Council level, the CCO model removes commercial decisions from the political realm, which can lead to improved decision making. The CCO model can also reduce risk by quarantining ratepayers from legal liability and financial risk arising from commercial decisions.

 

Another benefit is the increased oversight that a CCO provides relative to the traditional Local Government approach. The board of the CCO will provide greater oversight to the organisation’s undertakings than if the function were being undertaking by a business unit inside the Local Government with a hierarchical oversight chain through the Chief Executive Officer to the Council.

SUPPORTED

 

Local governments especially smaller local governments should be encouraged and have the authority to share resources where it provides a benefit to each of the LGs however this should be at the LG’s discretion as to whether this is in their best interests.

 

 

2.2 Standardisation of Crossovers

 

 

·      Approvals and standards for crossovers (the section of driveways that run between the kerb and private property) are inconsistent between local government areas, often with very minor differences.

·      This can create confusion and complexity for homeowners and small businesses in the construction sector.

·      It is proposed to amend the Local Government (Uniform Local Provisions) Regulations 1996 to standardise the process for approving crossovers for residential properties and residential developments on local roads.

·      A Crossover Working Group has provided preliminary advice to the Minister and DLGSC to inform this.

·      The DLGSC will work with the sector to develop standardised design and construction standards.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Comment

WALGA developed the Template Crossover Guideline and Specification resource in 2017 and have been part of the Minister’s working group on red tape reduction that has been looking at standardisation of crossovers.

Recommendation

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

Requirements need to consider both metro and rural/remote contexts.

 

SUPPORTED

 

A consistent approach to the approvals and standards for cross-overs is supported contingent on the ability for the local government sector to determine the standardisation criteria.

2.3 Introduce Innovation Provisions

 

 

·      The Local Government Act 1995 currently has very limited provisions to allow for innovations and responses to emergencies to (such as the Shire of Bruce Rock Supermarket).

·      New provisions are proposed to allow exemptions from certain requirements of the Local Government Act 1995, for:

Short-term trials and pilot projects

Urgent responses to emergencies.

 

 

 

Current Local Government Position

There is currently no advocacy position in relation to Item 2.3.

Comment

It is arguable communities expect all levels of Government will apply innovative solutions to complex and emerging issues difficult to resolve by traditional means. Exemptions constructed with appropriate checks and balances, particularly where expenditure of public funds are concerned, has potential to facilitate efficient and effective outcomes.

Red-tape stifles innovation so any reform that removes red-tape to encourage innovation is supported.  By way of example, the City of Wanneroo was extremely hampered by the procurement provisions of the Act in making competitive bids under the Federal Smart Cities program, particularly when competing against other jurisdictions. Similarly, when trialling community programs and ‘pop up’ or temporary events, greater flexibility and agility will allow for more dynamic and innovative outcomes.

 

 

2.4 Streamline Local Laws

 

 

·      Local laws are required to be reviewed every eight years.

·      The review of local laws (especially when they are standard) has been identified as a burden for the sector.

·      Inconsistency between local laws is frustrating for residents and business stakeholders.

·      It is proposed that local laws would only need to be reviewed by the local government every 15 years.

·      Local laws not reviewed in the timeframe would lapse, meaning that old laws will be automatically removed and no longer applicable.

·      Local governments adopting Model Local Laws will have reduced advertising requirements.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Items 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 expand upon Advocacy Position 2.6.35 - ‘Local law-making process should be simplified’.

The Local Law making process should be simplified as follows:

·  The requirement to give state-wide notice should be reviewed, with consideration given to Local Governments only being required to provide local public notice;

·  Eliminate the requirement to consult on local laws when a model is used;

·  Consider deleting the requirement to review local laws periodically. Local Governments, by administering local laws, will determine when it is necessary to amend or revoke a local law; and

·  Introduce certification of local laws by a legal practitioner in place of scrutiny by Parliament’s Delegated Legislation Committee.

Comment

Proposed reforms meet the Sector’s preference for simplified local law-making processes. Model local laws are supported, whilst recognising the models themselves will require review by State Government departments with the relevant head of power. For example, the Model Local Law (Standing Orders) 1998 formed the basis of many Local Government meeting procedures local laws but no review was completed. This model was superseded by individual local laws with added contemporary provisions. This pattern will repeat itself if model local laws are not reviewed to remain contemporary to the Sector’s requirements.

Recommendation

Supported

 

L G Professionals Submission

Supported.

Model local laws should be scalable to ensure they are appropriate for all local governments.

 

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-03/19) 

Inconsistency of local laws is an ongoing concern, with differences between local governments regarding content, as well as mechanism and practices to enforce them. Inconsistencies and different approaches by local governments may constitute a burden for businesses and the community.

 

The standardisation of local laws is supported as long as the ability of local governments to make individual alterations and determinations is retained to address specific community issues. This will assist in avoiding the lengthy and procedural local law process.

 

Consider that WALGA develops model local laws.

 

Remove the requirement to consult on model local laws when they are adopted in their entirety. Only provide public notice on its adoption,  implementation and where local laws differ from the model.

 

Consideration to be given to removing the need for

state-wide public notice.

SUPPORTED

 

The City of Wanneroo is constantly reviewing its local laws to ensure alignment with changes to legislation and community expectations however increasing the legislative period to review local laws form 8 years to 15 years is welcomed, notwithstanding a local government can always review their local laws earlier.

 

Reducing the legislative advertising requirements when adopting model local laws is supported.

 

The City supports a higher requirement for monitoring local laws but does not support the automatic ‘lapsing’ of local laws where they are not reviewed on time.  Whilst noting that the intent of such a reform may encourage local governments to more proactively review local laws, or allow irrelevant and outdated local laws to be removed, there are more appropriate mechanisms such as warnings and penalties which would facilitate review without resulting in a risk that critical legislation lapse unknowingly or unintentionally, having problematic consequences to enforcement, public safety and general servicing.

2.5 Simplifying Approvals for Small Business and Community Events

 

 

·      Inconsistency between local laws and approvals processes for events, street activation, and initiatives by local businesses is frustrating for business and local communities.

·      Proposed reforms would introduce greater consistency for approvals for:

alfresco and outdoor dining

minor small business signage rules

running community events.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

As above

L G Professionals Submission

Noted

 

SUPPORTED

A consistent approach to the approvals and regulatory regime for alfresco dining, small business signage and community events is supported.

2.6 Standardised Meeting Procedures, Including Public Question Time

 

 

·      Local governments currently prepare individual standing order local laws.

·      The Local Government Act 1995 and regulations require local governments to allocate time at meetings for questions from the public.

·      Inconsistency among the meeting procedures between local governments is a common source of complaints.

·      To provide greater clarity for ratepayers and applicants for decisions made by council, it is proposed that the meeting procedures and standing orders for all local government meetings, including for public question time, are standardised across the State.

·      Regulations would introduce standard requirements for public question time, and the procedures for meetings generally.

·      Members of the public across all local governments would have the same opportunities to address council and ask questions.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

As above

L G Professionals Submission

Noted

Standardisation can create a more simplified regulatory environment but can also create “one-size-fits-all” problems across the sector.

Whilst meeting procedures can be considered relatively common at a basic level, being able to retain flexibility to adapt to local style and preference is also important.

 

 

SUPPORTED

As a minimum standard. 

There should be the ability for local governments to contextualise as appropriate. 


2.7 Regional Subsidiaries

·      Initiatives by multiple local governments may be managed through formal Regional Councils, or through less formal “organisations of councils”, such as NEWROC and WESROC.

·      These initiatives typically have to be managed by a lead local government.

·      In 2016-17, provisions were introduced to allow for the formation of Regional Subsidiaries. Regional Subsidiaries can be formed in line with the Local Government (Regional Subsidiaries) Regulations 2017.

·      So far, no Regional Subsidiary has been formed.

·      Work is continuing to consider how Regional Subsidiaries can be best established to:

Enable Regional Subsidiaries to provide a clear and defined public benefit for people within member local governments

Provide for flexibility and innovation while ensuring appropriate transparency and accountability of ratepayer funds

Where appropriate, facilitate financing of initiatives by Regional Subsidiaries within a reasonable and defined limit of risk

Ensure all employees of a Regional Subsidiary have the same employment conditions as those directly employed by member local governments.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Item 2.7 aligns with Advocacy Position 2.3.1 - ‘Regional Collaboration’

Local Governments should be empowered to form single and joint subsidiaries, and beneficial enterprises. In addition, compliance requirements of Regional Councils should be reviewed and reduced.

Comment

Under the Regional Subsidiary model, two or more Local Governments are able to establish a regional subsidiary to undertake a shared service function on behalf of its constituent Local Governments. The model provides increased flexibility when compared to the Regional Local Government model because regional subsidiaries are primarily governed and regulated by a charter rather than legislation. While the regional subsidiary model’s governance structure is primarily representative, the model also allows independent and commercially focussed directors to be appointed to the board of management.

A key advantage of the regional subsidiary model is the use of a charter, as opposed to legislation, as the primary governance and regulatory instrument. Accordingly, the legislative provisions governing the establishment of regional subsidiaries should be light, leaving most of the regulation to the regional subsidiary charter, which can be adapted to suit the specific circumstances of each regional subsidiary.

 

Recommendation

Supported

 

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

Regional subsidiaries should be maximised as vehicles for efficient and effective collective activity. Maximising the flexibility of the structure and at the same time ensuring appropriate accountability and transparency is best achieved through the establishment of specific requirements within the Charter that establishes the Subsidiary, rather than standardised regulation.

 

 

Submission:  10 October 2017 (CE02-10/17) 

Regional subsidiaries should be permitted to borrow from financial institutions with the implementation of appropriate financial management regulations to mitigate risk.

 

·         It is considered appropriate for regional subsidiaries to be allowed to borrow money from other member councils providing that appropriate financial management regulations are implemented.

·          

Appropriate to provide Regional Subsidiaries the powers and authority that would otherwise be provided to Council Controlled Organisations considering that the Act and Regulations already provide for Regional Subsidiaries notwithstanding the current restrictions in place.

 

·         The legislation should allow for local governments to create Council Controlled Organisations to undertake provision of services in a competitive market providing that the requirements of the National Competition Policy are met and appropriate financial management regulations are implemented.

 

SUPPORTED

Improvements to the regional subsidiary provisions are supported.

Additionally, it is submitted that Regional Subsidiaries should be empowered to own, hold, purchase, sell and/or develop land, and undertake trading on said land.

 

Theme 3: Greater Transparency & Accountability

3.1 Recordings and Live-Streaming of All Council Meetings

 

 

·      Currently, local governments are only required to make written minutes of meetings.

·      While there is no legal requirement for livestreaming or video or audio recording of council meetings, many local governments now stream and record their meetings.

·      Complaints relating to behaviours and decisions at meetings constitute a large proportion of complaints about local governments.

·      Local governments are divided into bands with the largest falling in bands 1 and 2, and smaller local governments falling bands 3 and 4. The allocation of local governments into bands is  determined by The Salaries and Allowances Tribunal based on factors[1] such as:

Growth and development

Strategic planning issues

Demands and diversity of services provided to the community

Total expenditure

Population

Staffing levels.

·      It is proposed that all local governments will be required to record meetings.

·      Band 1 and 2 local governments would be required to livestream meetings, and make video recordings available as public archives.

·      Band 1 and 2 are larger local governments are generally located in larger urban areas, with generally very good telecommunications infrastructure, and many already have audio-visual equipment.

·      Band 1 and 2 local governments would be required to livestream meetings, and make video recordings available as public archives.

·      Several local governments already use platforms such as YouTube, Microsoft Teams, and Vimeo to stream and publish meeting recordings.

·      Limited exceptions would be made for meetings held outside the ordinary council chambers, where audio recordings may be used.

·      Recognising their generally smaller scale, typically smaller operating budget, and potential to be in more remote locations, band 3 and 4 local governments would be required to record and publish audio recordings, at a minimum. These local governments would still be encouraged to livestream or video record meetings.

·      All council meeting recordings would need to be published at the same time as the meeting minutes. Recordings of all confidential items would also need to be submitted to the DLGSC for archiving.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Item 3.1 expands upon Advocacy Position 2.6 – ‘Promote a size and scale compliance regime’ and Advocacy Position 2.6.31 - ‘Attendance at Council Meetings by Technology’

A review of the ability of Elected Members to log into Council meetings should be undertaken.

Comment

Local Governments introducing electronic meeting procedures and the means for remote public attendance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic led to a swift uptake of streaming Council meetings. The proposed reform that Band 1 and 2 Local Governments will only be problematic where technical capability such as reliable bandwidth impact the district.   

 

Recommendation

Supported

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

It is understood that the rationale for this provision is to capture better evidence of discussions and interactions at meetings. The act of recording, storing, and uploading large audio or video files may have resourcing implications for some LGs.

Proposals to record/stream meetings include lesser requirements on tier 3 & 4 LGs.

Further, if meetings are live-streamed, why would such recordings need to wait until the meeting Minutes are published before being published as suggested in dot point 8?

Submission on 6 February 2018 (CE03-02/18)

Live streaming of meetings is not supported.

 

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19)

Local governments should have the autonomy to determine if Council meetings should be live streamed however consider the risks of doing so.  However certain protections should be in place.

 

Local governments should have the autonomy to determine the rules for recording confidential items in minutes and the publication of unconfirmed council meeting minutes.

 

SUPPORTED

 

The recording with audio and visual live streaming of Briefing Sessions and Council Meetings is supported notwithstanding the costs will be borne by the respective local governments.

 

NOT SUPPORTED

 

Matters discussed and debated confidentially and behind closed doors should not be recorded except for the outcome of Council’s decision. 

 

Whilst the notion of recording confidential items in principle may not be objected to, the fact that such recordings would become a corporate record and subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act is of great concern. It is noted that the threshold and extent of what can be considered ‘confidential’ is being raised by the proposed reforms, leaving only exceptional instances such as where legal matters or sensitive commercial matters, or indeed matters where complaints by or about members of the public might be discussed. Councillors need to be able to debate freely during these times without fear of jeopardising the local government’s position (legally or commercially) or diminishing privacy rights and the like. Accordingly, such a provision could only be supported if legislation was drafted to ensure that such a recording would not be a ‘record’ subject to the Freedom of Information Act or equivalent. Even then, all local governments are under the jurisdiction of the State Records Act so it is not clear the reason or purpose of the Department archiving confidential recordings.

 

 

3.2 Recording All Votes in Council Minutes

 

 

·      A local government is only required to record which councillor voted for or against a motion in the minutes of that meeting if a request is made by an elected member at the time of the resolution during the meeting.

·      The existing provision does not mandate transparency.

·      To support the transparency of decision-making by councillors, it is proposed that the individual votes cast by all councillors for all council resolutions would be required to be published in the council minutes, and identify those for, against, on leave, absent or who left the chamber.

·      Regulations would prescribe how votes are to be consistently minuted.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is currently no advocacy position in relation to Item 3.2.

Comment

There is an evolving common practice that Council Minutes record the vote of each Council Member present at a meeting. 

Recommendation

Supported

 

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

However, the legislation should be empowering. It should prescribe that the votes of each Councillor be identified but the regulations should not go to the minutiae of prescribing exactly how this is minuted.

 

 

SUPPORTED

 

Recording of individual votes in minutes is supported and is the current practice at the City of Wanneroo.

3.3 Clearer Guidance for Matters that may be Confidential

 

 

·      The Act currently provides broad definitions of what type of matters may be discussed as a confidential item.

·      There is limited potential for review of issues managed as confidential items under the current legislation.

·      Recognising the importance of open and transparent decision-making, it is considered that confidential meetings and confidential meeting items should only be used in limited, specific circumstances. 

·      It is proposed to make the Act more specific in prescribing items that may be confidential, and items that should remain open to the public.

·      Items not prescribed as being confidential could still be held as confidential items only with the prior written consent of the Inspector.

·      All confidential items would be required to be audio recorded, with those recordings submitted to the DLGSC.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is currently no advocacy position in relation to Item 3.3.

Comment

Clarifying the provisions of the Act has broad support within the sector. New reforms requiring Local Governments to video or audio record Council meetings (Item 3.1) will add to the formal record of proceedings that includes written Minutes. While being supported, the requirement to provide audio recordings of confidential matters to the DLGSC is queried on the basis that written and audio records can be readily accessed from a Local Government if required.

How does dot point 4 relate to the proposal to live-stream at 3.1?

If matters are confidential and the public is asked to leave, why does the Department only want audio recordings here for Band 1 & 2 local governments, and not audio-visual recordings?

Will the Local Government retain a copy of the confidential audio recordings and thereby keep a complete audio of the full meeting?

 

 

No previous submissions presented

SUPPORTED

 

It is supported that provisions in the Local Government Act should provide absolute clarity in respect of matters that Council can debate confidentially and behind closed doors.

Even then, all local governments are under the jurisdiction of the State Records Act so it is not clear the reason or purpose of the Department archiving confidential recordings.

 

Further, provisions in legislation should provide for clear criteria without the requirement for an ‘inspector’ to approve confidential items.

 

 

3.4 Additional Online Registers

 

 

·      Local governments are required to provide information to the community through annual reports, council minutes and the publication of information online.

·      Consistent online publication of information can substitute for certain material in annual reports.

·      Consistency in online reporting across the sector will provide ratepayers with better information.

·      These registers supplement the simplification of financial statements in Theme 6.

·      It is proposed to require local governments to report specific information in online registers on the local government’s website. Regulations would prescribe the information to be included.

The following new registers, each updated quarterly, are proposed:

Lease Register to capture information about the leases the local government is party to (either as lessor or lessee)

Community Grants Register to outline all grants and funding provided by the local government

Interests Disclosure Register which collates all disclosures made by elected members about their interests related to matters considered by council

Applicant Contribution Register accounting for funds collected from applicant contributions, such as cash-in-lieu for public open space and car parking

Contracts Register that discloses all contracts above $100,000.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is currently no advocacy position in relation to Item 3.4.

Comment

This proposal follows recent Act amendments that ensure a range of information is published on Local Government websites. WALGA has sought clarity that the contracts register excludes contracts of employment.

 

Recommendation

Supported

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

Whilst the need for transparency is understood, the number of occurrences for these registers in tier 3 & 4 LGs is likely to be small and therefore the annual publication of these registers at the time of the AGM is considered a more reasonable course of action for smaller local governments.

It is presumed that the legislation will require quarterly updates as a minimum. It would be far easier, and more transparent, in larger local governments to update these registers on an ongoing basis.

If a local government leases houses to tenants, the Minister has indicated that there is no intention to make these leases public.

 

 

 

SUPPORTED

 

It is supported to make information easily accessible and readily available through a local government’s website.

 

A threshold on grant funding should be decided before there is a requirement to enter information into a publically available register.

3.5 Chief Executive Officer Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) be Published

 

 

·      It is a requirement of the Local Government Act 1995 that CEO performance reviews are conducted annually.

·      The Model Standards for CEO recruitment and selection, performance review and termination require that a local government must review the performance of the CEO against contractual performance criteria.

·      Additional performance criteria can be used for performance review by agreement between both parties.

·      To provide for minimum transparency, it is proposed to mandate that the KPIs agreed as performance metrics for CEOs:

Be published in council meeting minutes as soon as they are agreed prior to (before the start of the annual period)

The KPIs and the results be published in the minutes of the performance review meeting (at the end of the period)

The CEO has a right to provide written comments to be published alongside the KPIs and results to provide context as may be appropriate (for instance, the impact of events in that year that may have influenced the results against KPIs).

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is currently no advocacy position in relation to Item 3.5.

Comment

In principle, this proposal has some merit and would be particularly effective if all CEO KPIs consistently reflect Strategic Community Plans and Corporate Business Plans of Local Governments, together with KPIs reflective of the CEO’s statutory functions under Section 5.41 of the Act. This approach would inform the community of the CEO’s performance related to the strategic direction and operational function of the Local Government.

 

In practice, the drafting of statutory provisions will require sensitive consideration of certain KPIs i.e. those relating to issues affecting the workplace or identified risk-based concerns, to reflect the way Audit Committees currently deal with some internal control, risk and legislative compliance issues confidentially. This approach will protect the interests of Local Governments and other parties associated with such KPIs. It would be prudent for exemptions to be provided, based on matters of confidentiality.

 

The proposed reforms and recent Act amendments signal a clear intent to permit closer community involvement and scrutiny of Local Government. However, negative consequences are likely if Local Government Council’s responsibility as the employing authority of the CEO became blurred due to perceived community entitlement to comment, question and influence KPIs and the performance review process. 

 

Additionally, the publication of CEO KPI’s will elevate this employment position to a high degree of public scrutiny seldom evident in the public or private sector, if at all. It is worth investigating whether the proposed reforms considered whether this factor could impact on the recruitment of CEO’s, particularly from outside the Local Government sector.

The results of performance reviews should be confidential information between the employer and employee and should not be published and should remain within the confidential human resource records of the organisation.

Recommendation

 

1. Conditionally Support the reporting of CEO KPIs that are consistent with the strategic direction and operational function of the Local Government, subject to exemptions for publishing KPI’s of a confidential nature;

2. Do not support the results of performance reviews being published.

L G Professionals Submission

Dispute.

The Minister’s rationale for this proposal centres on the role of the CEO in implementing the Council’s Community Plan, however it is the Council that should be publicly accountable for the achievement of the Community Plan, rather than the CEO.

The CEO’s accountability is to the Council and therefore the CEO’s KPI performance should be treated within an HR context.

It may be acceptable to concede to the publication of any KPIs that relate strictly to the Council Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan to ensure there is awareness around the expectations of the CEO in facilitating the achievement of the plans. However, all personal or confidential KPIs together with the performance assessment of the CEO by the Council against those KPIs, and any response by the CEO, should remain within the confidential human resource records of the organisation.

Submission:  10 October 2017 (CE02-10/17) 

 

·         All the Elected Members should be involved in the performance review of the CEO with the assistance of an independent external consultant chosen by Council at the discretion of the Council.

·          

·         Regional local governments would benefit from the services of an external consultant.

CEO performance reviews should occur at least annually.

 

Submission on 6 February 2018 (CE03-02/18)

 

All Elected Members should be involved in the performance review of the CEO with the assistance of an independent external consultant chosen by Council at the discretion of the Council.

 

It is considered appropriate for an external party to assist a local government to resolve issues when there is a requirement to remove the CEO and the appointment of a replacement CEO.

 

The appointed person’s authority to be restricted to providing advice and support, especially by making recommendations to the Council. 

 

The State Government should pay for the appointed person unless the assistance of the appointed person is specifically requested by the local government, which the local government would pay.

 

It is considered appropriate that the appointed person be only authorised to provide advice, support and make recommendations to the Council or the Minister.

 

Submission on 17 November 2020 (CE02-11/20)

 

·         Reconfirm Council’s previous submission and support repeal of the requirement for local government to consider the performance review of the CEO and replace with model standard providing consistency.

·          

·         AND

·          

·         Note that a level of confidentiality is required to discuss the outcome of the review and to address any issues.

·          

·          

 

 

 

NOT SUPPORTED

 

Transparency on key performance indicators for a local government are set out in the Corporate Business Plan, Strategic Community Plan and reported in the Annual Report.

 

It is a function of Council and the CEO to determine and agree the CEOs KPIs and for Council to undertake a performance review of the CEO in accordance with the agreed KPIs. This is not a function of the community.  Further, the performance (including any issues with performance) of a CEO should be confidential between the CEO (employee) and Council (employer).

 

The City of Wanneroo echoes the submissions of the Local Government Professionals Association in noting that: the CEO’s accountability is to the Council and therefore the CEO’s KPI performance should be treated within an HR context.

 

Theme 4: Stronger Local Democracy and Community Engagement

4.1 Community and Stakeholder Engagement Charters

·      There is currently no requirement for local governments to have a specific engagement charter or policy.

·      Many local governments have introduced charters or policies for how they will engage with their community.

·      Other States have introduced a specific requirement for engagement charters.

·      It is proposed to introduce a requirement for local governments to prepare a community and stakeholder engagement charter which sets out how local government will communicate processes and decisions with their community.

·      A model Charter would be published to assist local governments who wish to adopt a standard form.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Items 4.1 and 4.2 generally align with Advocacy Position 2.6.34 - ‘Support responsive, aspirational and innovative community engagement principles’

The Local Government sector supports:

1.   Responsive, aspirational and innovative community engagement principles

2.   Encapsulation of aims and principles in a community engagement policy, and

3.   The option of hosting an Annual Community Meeting to present on past performance and outline future prospects and plans.

 

Comment

As indicted in Item 4.1 commentary, many Local Governments have already developed stakeholder engagement charters, or similar engagement strategies, that reflect their unique communities of interest.

The development of guidance by the DLGSC, based on standards such as the International Standard for Public Participation practice, is supported in favour of taking a prescriptive approach or conducting a survey for the sake of a survey.

Item 4.2 has potential to provide benchmarking of community satisfaction levels across Band 1 and 2 Local Governments.  

Recommendation

Supported

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

The benefit of Community & Stakeholder Engagement Charters lies in clarity of expectations around engagement and consultation, together with the ability to craft a locally appropriate process. Much of the process in the current Act and Regulations is prescriptive and diminishes the incentive for a policy based approach, making this requirement appear cursory.

 

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19)

 

Local governments should determine the level of community engagement that meets the requirements of their community. Can consider a minimum standard or consultation requirement but need to be specifically defined with appropriate parameters.

 

Prudent local governments will adopt community engagement policies to ensure that they are cognisant of community needs and expectations and should be reviewed regularly.  A basic definition, minimum standard and parameters should suffice for Local Governments to adapt a community engagement charter and policy reflective of their community, its demographic, diversity, etc.

 

Engagement is to be fit-for-purpose:  It is dependent on the engagement purpose. There are times that Local Government is simply informing the community not looking for comments to support a decision.  Needs to be a clear distinction between informing, consulting and engaging.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                         

SUPPORTED

 

The City’s Community Engagement Policy and supporting Management Procedure currently provides guiding principles for community engagement to ensure consistent, meaningful and best practice engagement is carried out within the City.  An Engagement Charter would set the principles from a community perspective and its development is supported.

 

It is important to continue to allow some innovation in this area so any charter must be at principle level.

 

4.2 Ratepayer Satisfaction Surveys (Band 1 and 2 local governments only)

 

 

·      Many local governments already commission independent surveying consultants to hold a satisfaction survey of residents/ratepayers. 

·      These surveys provide valuable data on the performance of local governments.

·      It is proposed to introduce a requirement that every four years, all local governments in bands 1 and 2 hold an independently-managed ratepayer satisfaction survey.

·      Results would be required to be reported publicly at a council meeting and published on the local government’s website.

·      All local governments would be required to publish a response to the results.

As above

No previous submission

SUPPORTED

 

The City currently conducts a survey every two years: a community perceptions survey and a business perceptions survey and the 2021 Australian Liveability Consensus conducted by PlaceScore.

 

It is however suggested that a more service specific approach be adopted more in line with commercial practices.  The feedback received could be better used to improve service delivery.

Regardless, the survey should not be a standardised form, as each local government may have different discretionary services.

 

4.3 Introduction of Preferential Voting

 

 

·      The current voting method for local government elections is first past the post.

·      The existing first-past-the-post does not allow for electors to express more than one preference.

·      The candidate with the most votes wins, even if that candidate does not have a majority.

·      Preferential voting better captures the precise intentions of voters and as a result may be regarded as a fairer and more representative system. Voters have more specific choice.

·      Preferential voting is proposed be adopted as the method to replace the current first past the post system in local government elections.

·      In preferential voting, voters number candidates in order of their preferences.

·      Preferential voting is used in State and Federal elections in Western Australia (and in other states). This provides voters with more choice and control over who they elect.

·      All other states use a form of preferential voting for local government.

 

Current Local Government Position

Item 4.3 does not align with Advocacy Position 2.5.1 – ‘First Past the Post voting system’

 

The Local Government sector supports:

1.   Four year terms with a two year spill

2.   Greater participation in Local Government elections

3.   The option to hold elections through:

·        Online voting

·        Postal voting, and

·        In-person voting

4.   Voting at Local Government elections to be voluntary

5.   The first past the post method of counting votes

 

Comment

It should be noted that the sector’s advocacy against compulsory voting and “All in All out” 4 year terms has been successful and these items are not included in the reform proposals.

 

The introduction of preferential voting will be a return to the system of voting prior to the Local Government Act 1995. The Local Government Advisory Board reported on voting systems in 2006 (‘Local Government Structural Reform in Western Australia: Ensuring the Future Sustainability of Communities’) and provided the following comments in support of both first past the post voting and preferential voting:

 

‘Comments in support of retaining first past the post include:

·      Quick to count. Preferential voting is time consuming to count.

·      Easily understood.

·      Removes politics out of campaigning. Preferential will encourage alliances formed for the distribution of preferences and party politics into local government.

·      Preferential voting allows election rigging through alliances or ‘dummy’ candidates.

·      In a preferential system, the person that receives the highest number of first preference votes does not necessarily get elected.’

 

‘Comments in support of replacing first past the post include:

·      Preferential voting is more democratic and removes an area of confusion.

·      Preferential voting ensures that the most popular candidates are elected who best reflect the will of the voters.

·      Preferential system should be introduced. In FPP elections, candidates work together to get votes for each other. Preferential would make it more difficult for this practice to take place.

·      FPP does not adequately reflect the wishes of electors when there are three candidates or more.

·      FPP is unsuitable when there is more than one vacancy.

·      Allows for a greater representation from a range of interest groups and prevents domination of elections by mainstream party politics.’

 

The Sector supports first past the post voting for its simplicity and fundamental apolitical nature, therefore the proposed reforms are not supported.

Feedback is sought to ensure the advocacy position for first past the post elections remains the preferred option.

Recommendation

Not currently supported - Local Government feedback requested

 

Submission on 22 September 2020 (CEO3-09/20)

·         Voting to remain as “First past the Post”.

 

The City’s submission to Council on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19) included the following statements:

 

·         “First Past the Post is the preferred method as it is commonly understood by the community at large.

·         Considering that if a whole new Council or a substantial portion of a new Council is elected it would take significant time before that Council would become an effective decision making body. Note that this change, combined with preferential voting has the potential to encourage factional and political alliances.

·          

·         Council disagrees that Council elections should be held every four years rather than every two years with all council members being elected at the same time.

·          

·          

 

NOT SUPPORTED

 

Preferential voting is not supported as it encourages factions and candidate tickets with the significant potential for poor candidate behaviour, increase in complaints and Council dysfunction post-election.

 

ADDITIONAL COMMENT

 

It is recommended that the Western Australian Electoral Commission establish a process to periodically review the quality and integrity of processes that are followed in respect to the conducting of postal elections by the Commission.

4.4 Public Vote to Elect the Mayor and President

 

 

·      The Act currently allows local governments to have the Presiding Member (the Mayor or President) elected either:

by the electors of the district through a public vote; or

by the council as a resolution at a council meeting.

·      Mayors and Presidents of all local governments perform an important public leadership role within their local communities.

·      Band 1 and 2 local governments generally have larger councils than those in bands 3 and 4.

·      Accordingly, it is proposed that the Mayor or President for all band 1 and 2 councils is to be elected through a vote of the electors of the district. Councils in bands 3 and 4 would retain the current system.

·      A number of Band 1 and Band 2 councils have already moved towards Public Vote to Elect the Mayor and President in recent years, including City of Stirling and City of Rockingham.

Current Local Government Position

Item 4.4 does not align with Advocacy Position 2.5.2 - ‘Election of Mayors and Presidents be at the discretion of Local Government.’

Local Governments should determine whether their Mayor or President will be elected by the Council or elected by the community.

 

Comment

 

There are 43 Band 1 and 2 Local Governments with 22 popularly electing the Mayor or President:

Band 1 - 15

          Band 2 - 7

 

The remaining 21 Local Governments have a Council-elected Mayor or President. The cited examples of the City of Rockingham and City of Stirling electors determining by referendum to change the process for electing the Mayor are examples of the current system working as intended. There is no evidence of elector support for uniform direct election of Mayors.

 

Recommendation

Not currently supported - Local Government feedback requested

·         Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19)

·         Local governments can determine how the Mayor/President is elected once the district is established. The Act already has provisions for Council to determine how the Mayor/President is elected.

·          

Should electors propose to change the method of election for the Mayor then it is suggested that the number of electors or the percentage total of electors required to do so should be reviewed in line with population growth.

SUPPORTED

This is the current practice at the City of Wanneroo.

Given the significant cost to conduct an election, It is requested that reforms be considered to allow the office of the Mayor to remain unfilled with the approval of the Electoral Commissioner (legislatively the Deputy Mayor may perform the functions of the mayor) until the next Ordinary Election under specific circumstances, for example, where there is less than 2 years remaining in the Mayor’s term of office.


4.5 Tiered Limits on the Number of Councillors 

 

 

·      The number of councillors (between 5-15 councillors) is decided by each local government, reviewed by the Local Government Advisory Board, and if approved by the Minister.

·      The Panel Report recommended electoral reforms to improve representativeness.

·      It is proposed to limit the number of councillors based on the population of the entire local government.

·      Some smaller local governments have already been moving to having smaller councils to reduce costs for ratepayers.

·      The Local Government Panel Report proposed:

For a population of up to 5,000 – five councillors (including the President)

population of between 5,000 and 75,000 – five to nine councillors (including the Mayor/President)

population of above 75,000 – nine to fifteen councillors (including Mayor).

Current Local Government Position

Item 4.5 does not align with Advocacy Position 2.5.1 – ‘Councils consist of between six and 15 (including the Mayor/President)’

Local Governments being enabled to determine the number of Elected Members required on the Council between six and 15 (including the Mayor/President)

 

Comment

The proposed reform to restrict Local Governments with populations under 5,000 to 5 Council Members does not reflect the varied communities of interest within this grouping. Some Local Governments are essentially regional centres such as the Shires of  Katanning (9), Dandaragan (9), Merredin (9), Moora (9) and Northampton (9) (current Councillor numbers bracketed).

Local Governments such as the Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku (9) manage substantial land areas, manage isolated communities such as the Shire of Meekatharra (7) and culturally diverse communities such as the Shire of Christmas Island (9).

Some Local Governments with populations up to 5,000 warrant a greater number of Councillors to effectively share the representative role that Council Members play within their communities.

The additional proposed reforms in population categories over 5,000 generally reflect the current Councillor numbers. 

Recommendation

Recommend 5 to 7 Council Members for populations up to 5,000 and support the remaining proposed reforms. 

 

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19)

The number of members that a council has should be linked to the local government’s population.

GENERALLY SUPPORTED

 

This is generally supported but a review of the Special and Absolute Majority provisions is required.

 

 

4.6 No Wards for Small Councils (Band 3 and 4 Councils only)

 

 

·      A local government can make an application to be divided into wards, with councillors elected to those wards.

·      Only about 10% of band 3 and 4 local governments currently have wards.

·      It is proposed that the use of wards for councils in bands 3 and 4 is abolished.

·      Wards increase the complexity of elections, as this requires multiple versions of ballot papers to be prepared for a local government’s election.

·      In smaller local governments, the population of wards can be very small.

·      These wards often have councillors elected unopposed, or elect a councillor with a very small number of votes. Some local governments have ward councillors elected with less than 50 votes.

·      There has been a trend in smaller local governments looking to reduce the use of wards, with only 10 councils in bands 3 and 4 still having wards.

Current Local Government Position

There are no advocacy positions in relation to Items 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 or 4.9.

Comment

The proposed reform to discontinue wards in Band 3 and 4 Local Governments brings alignment with the majority and provides that affected Local Governments will no longer have to conduct 8 year ward reviews or make representation to the Local Government Advisory Board to revert to a no wards system.

Remaining proposed reforms will improve and clarify election processes.

Recommendation

Supported

·         Previous City Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-03/19)

 

Question

“Should a local government be required to have a ward structure if it reaches a certain population threshold.”

Response: 

Local governments should have the autonomy to determine irrespective of population.

 

Question:  “Should a local government with fewer than 800 people not have wards”

Response:  Local governments should have the autonomy to determine irrespective of population.

 

Question:  Should the number of members that a council has be linked to the local governments population.

Response:  Supported.

 

NOT SUPPORTED

 

Individual local governments should have to autonomy to determine this and how best to represent their precise district.

4.7 Electoral Reform – Clear Lease Requirements for Candidate and Voter Eligibility 

 

 

·      A person with a lease in a local government district is eligible to nominate as a candidate in that district.

·      A person with a lease in a local government district is eligible to apply to vote in that district.

·      The City of Perth Inquiry Report identified a number of instances where dubious lease arrangements put to question the validity of candidates in local government elections, and subsequently their legitimacy as councillors.

·      Reforms are proposed to prevent the use of “sham leases” in council elections. Sham leases are where a person creates a lease only to be able to vote or run as a candidate for council.

·      The City of Perth Inquiry Report identified sham leases as an issue.

·      Electoral rules are proposed to be strengthened:

A minimum lease period of 12 months will be required for anyone to register a person to vote or run for council.

Home based businesses will not be eligible to register a person to vote or run for council, because any residents are already the eligible voter(s) for that address.

Clarifying the minimum criteria for leases eligible to register a person to vote or run for council.

·      The reforms would include minimum lease periods to qualify as a registered business (minimum of 12 months), and the exclusion of home based businesses (where the resident is already eligible) and very small sub-leases.

·      The basis of eligibility for each candidate (e.g. type of property and suburb of property) is proposed to be published, including in the candidate pack for electors.

As above

·         Previous City Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-03/19)

·          

Question:  Should people who lease rateable property in a district be entitled to vote.

Response:  Yes as that person resides in the local government district and should have a say in who represents their interests.

 

Question:  Should Corporations that own property in a district be entitled to vote.

Response: 

Yes as a corporation is a legal entity and should have a say in who represents their interests.

 

Question:  Should Corporations that lease property be entitled to vote.

Response:  Yes as a corporation is a legal entity and should have a say in who represents their interests.

 

Question:  Should Occupiers of land, for example, commercial lease holders, be eligible to vote.

Response:  Yes as that occupier has an interest in the land within the local government district and should have a say in who represents their interests.

·          

·         Submission on 22 September 2020 (CE03-09/20)

·         Oppose the replacement of franchise voting with the requirement for respective local governments to be required to introduce mechanisms as this will lead to inconsistency of voting systems and mechanisms within the local government sector

·          

·         The City’s submission to Council on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19) included the following statements: -

·          

People who own land but who do not live in a District, who lease rateable property or corporations that lease property should be eligible to vote.

SUPPORTED

It is supported that the Western Australian Electoral Commission or the Office of the Local Government Inspector to have the authority to enforce and deal with complaints, including the regulatory and prohibition on the use of sham leases.

Regulations should be more precise than saying “sham leases” without clarification. It is suggested that a leased area meet a size for an office at a minimum.

 

 

4.8 Reform of Candidate Profiles

 

 

·      Candidate profiles can only be 800 characters, including spaces. This is equivalent to approximately 150 words.

·      Further work will be undertaken to evaluate how longer candidate profiles could be accommodated.

·      Longer candidate profiles would provide more information to electors, potentially through publishing profiles online.

·      It is important to have sufficient information available to assist electors make informed decisions when casting their vote.

As above

No previous submissions made

NOT SUPPORTED

 

The City of Wanneroo is not aware of any evidence to suggest that the current method is ineffective.

 

Further, candidates are able to engage with the public and explain their platforms in a variety of ways (via social media, letter drops and the like), and a cap on candidate profile length does not diminish that. 

 

4.9 Minor Other Electoral Reforms

·      Other minor reforms are proposed to improve local government elections.

·      Minor other electoral reforms are proposed to include:

The introduction of standard processes for vote re-counts if there is a very small margin between candidates (e.g. where there is a margin of less than 10 votes a recount will always be required)

The introduction of more specific rules concerning local government council candidates’ use of electoral rolls.

As above

No previous submissions made

SUPPORTED

 

Standard and consistent rules (legislative provisions) in relation to the voting process and use of electoral rolls is supported.

Theme 5: Clear Roles and Responsibilities

5.1 Introduce Principles in the Act

 

 

·      The Act does not currently outline specific principles.

·      The Act contains a short “Content and Intent” section only.

·      The Panel Report recommended greater articulation of principles

·      It is proposed to include new principles in the Act, including:

The recognition of Aboriginal Western Australians

Tiering of local governments (with bands being as assigned by the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal)

Community Engagement

Financial Management.

Current Local Government Position

Item 5.1 generally aligns with Advocacy Position 2.6 - Legislative Intent

Provide flexible, principles-based legislative framework.

 

Recommendation

Supported

 

Submission on 6 February 2018 (CE03-02/18)

Although the Act provides for local governments to operate under the principle of ‘general competence’ and was intended to provide a broad outcomes-based framework, there are sections that are “too high level”.

 

Council Members have a range of obligations not captured in legislation.  There is a need for clarity regarding the broader obligations that Council, Council Members, the CEO and Administration are required to comply with.

 

Council’s focus should continue to be at the strategic and policy level with the CEO’s focus on establishing and maintaining an appropriate organisational structure to implement Council’s strategic direction. The Act should clearly define and articulate the distinction between the strategic and operational areas and functions and the respective roles of Council, Mayor/President, Councillor and CEO.

 

SUPPORTED

 

Clearly articulated principles set out in the Local Government Act is supported and should include a principle relating to the long-term sustainability of a district.

 

5.2 Greater Role Clarity

 

 

·      The Act provides for the role of council, councillor, mayor or president and CEO.

·      The role of the council is to:

govern the local government’s affairs

be responsible for the performance of the local government’s functions.

·      The Local Government Act Review Panel recommended that roles and responsibilities of elected members and senior staff be better defined in law.

·      It is proposed that these roles and responsibilities are further defined in the legislation.

·      These proposed roles will be open to further consultation and input.

·      These roles would be further strengthened through Council Communications Agreements (see item 5.3).

Current Local Government Position

Item 5.2 aligns with Advocacy Position 2.6.36 - ‘Roles and Responsibilities’

That clarification of roles and responsibilities for Mayors/ Presidents, Councillors and CEOs be reviewed to ensure that there is no ambiguity.

Recommendation

Supported

 

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

Care needs to be taken to ensure roles do not become too prescriptive.

 

Refer Section 5,1

 

Irrespective of the size, demographic or location of the local government the legislative obligations and requirements for Council Members must be the same. The base level competencies required of a Council Member are dictated by the requirements of their role.

 

 

SUPPORTED

 

Including greater clarity of the role of Council, Mayor, Councillors and the CEO in the Local Government Act is supported.

5.2.1 - Mayor or President Role

As above

No previous specific submission

SUPPORTED

Including greater clarity of the role of Council, Mayor, Councillors and the CEO in the Local Government Act is supported.

It should be clearly articulated that the Mayor has a leadership role to ensure that the Council acts as a functional governing body. Accordingly, there should be a clearly expressed statutory role (and consequent protections) for the Mayor to manage Council culture.

The use of the word ‘delivery’ is questioned – the Mayor’s role should not relate to the delivery of services, as this is clearly a role of the CEO. As noted above, the Mayor should be given a statutory leadership role to ensure the Council is acting in a functional way which does not diminish the CEO’s capacity to oversee the delivery of the services, operations, initiatives and functions of the local government.

5.2.2 - Council Role

Local Government Position (WALGA)

As above

L G Professionals Submission

Noted.

It is pleasing to see reference made to providing a safe working environment for the CEO. The Minister has indicated that the Inspector will have initial responsibility for any investigation relating to this issue.

Legislation will need to detail what happens if a safe working environment is not provided.

The Council Role should also include a specific reference to recruiting and employing the CEO.

 

Submission on 22 September 2021 (CE03-09/20)

…  Council determines service level standards and allocation of budget but the CEO determines the allocation of human resources.

Further clarity is required to ensure that the role of Council and the CEO is clear on this point.

…. under harmonised Work Health and Safety legislation the person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) owes an obligation to ensure a safe work place. It is arguable that Council would have a role to provide a safe work place for Councillors and the CEO, and whilst Council will have a role in respect of the entire organisation, the CEO is responsible for providing a safe work environment for all employees, volunteers, visitors and any other person captured under the harmonised legislation.

Further legislative clarity is required to ensure alignment with Council’s obligations and harmonised OSH legislation.

SUPPORTED

Including greater clarity of the role of Council, Mayor, Councillors and the CEO in the Local Government Act is supported.

It is noted that Council will have a clear obligation to provide a safe working environment for the CEO however this will need to align with the requirements of the Work Health and Safety Act.

 

NOT SUPPORTED

To the extent that a Council’s role would be to ensure that a local government is ‘adequately resourced’, it instead should be reinforced that the allocation of resources must be such to enable the CEO to run the local government. As drafted, the proposed reform risks blurring the line between the roles, and is important to reiterate that it is not for a Council to be involved in how an organisation is structured or how staff are resourced.

Further, Council should not have a role in the appointment or dismissal of senior employees.  There should be a clear role for the CEO to employ staff and to implement decisions supported by the budget.

5.2.3 - Elected Member (Councillor) Role

Local Government Position (WALGA)

As above

L G Professionals Submission

Noted

Also suggest a responsibility to support decisions made by Council, to try to address the issue of Councillors covertly or overtly undermining decisions which they did not individually support.

 

Submission on 10 October 2017 (CE02-10/17)

Elected Members are democratically elected by their constituents and are “taken as they are” irrespective of their skills, knowledge and experience.

 

The following is a list of baseline competencies that are considered appropriate for an Elected Member to have to perform their role:

 

·      Sound financial Awareness.

·      Understanding and engaging with the community.

·      Understanding risk.

·      Learning for others – mentoring.

·      Strategic thinkin and planning.

·      Sound understanding of legislation and operation of local government.

 

Irrespective of the size, demographic or location of the local government the legislative obligations and requirements for Elected Members must be the same.

 

The base level competencies required of an Elected Member are dictated by the requirements of their role.

 

 

 

SUPPORTED

 

Including greater clarity of the role of Council, Mayor, Councillors and the CEO in the Local Government Act is supported.

 

Further, whilst it is generally supported that an Elected Member should only use their respective titles when ‘performing their role in an official capacity’, this is likely to create confusion and conflict if it is not expressly clear how ‘performing their role in an official capacity’ is to be defined, how this would be policed (and by whom) and what the consequences are for a breach. Further, consideration should be given to how this impacts the application of a Code of Conduct, and the extent to which that applies if a Councillor, Committee Member or Candidate is ‘not performing their role in an official capacity’. If this cannot be expressly defined, then it should be excluded, and instead dealt with at a policy level or via Ministerial circular.

 

 

5.2.4 - CEO Role

Local Government Position (WALGA)

As above

L G Professionals Submission

Noted

The CEO Role should also include a professional development requirement to maintain and/or improve on the requisite skills required for the role.

The CEO should be specifically identified as being responsible for the employment and management of all human resources retained by the organisation.

Submission on 6 February 2018 (CE03-02/18)

All local government staff are employed by the CEO and the CEO, as a CEO executive function, can exercise the discretion as to the recruitment of all employees.

It is not considered appropriate for Council Members or Council to be involved in the appointment, dismissal or performance management of any employee except for the CEO.

 

SUPPORTED

Including greater clarity of the role of Council, Mayor, Councillors and the CEO in the Local Government Act is supported.

The Local Government Act must set out a clear delineation between the functions and roles of Council, Council Members and the CEO. Noting the submission relating to a statutory leadership role for the Mayor, this should be supported by the CEO having referral powers to the Mayor in the event that culture or behaviour is diminishing the CEO’s capacity to fulfil their functions, or is otherwise diminishing the functionality of a local government.

The CEO is required to manage costs.  If a request from a Council Member requires considerable resources plus / or is not directly related to the role of a Councillor, the CEO should be able to decline the request.

 

5.3 Council Communication Agreements

 

 

·      The Act provides that council and committee members can have access to any information held by the local government that is relevant to the performance of the member in their functions.

·      The availability of information is sometimes a source of conflict within local governments.

·      In State Government, there are written Communication Agreements between Ministers and agencies that set standards for how information and advice will be provided.

·      It is proposed that local governments will need to have Council Communications Agreements between the council and the CEO.

·      These Council Communication Agreements would clearly specify the information that is to be provided to councillors, how it will be provided, and the timeframes for when it will be provided.

·      A template would be published by DLGSC. This default template will come into force if a council and CEO do not make a specific other agreement within a certain timeframe following any election.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is no advocacy position in relation to Item 5.3.

Comment

The availability of information not already in the public domain to Councillors under Section 5.92 of the Act can become contentious in the absence of a clear statement in support of the function the Council Member is performing. This can place CEO’s in the invidious position of ruling on the availability of a record of the Local Government, when it is also their function under Section 5.41(h) of the Act to ‘ensure that records and documents of the local government are properly kept for the purposes of this Act and any other written law’.

Consistent availability of information motivates this proposed reform and it does not appear that individual Council Communication  Agreements will be a means to that end. There is a better case for a uniform  approach in the form of a regulated Agreement, in much the same way that the Communication Agreements between Ministers and agencies are based on provisions of the Public Sector Management Act 1994.

 

Recommendation

Support a consistent, regulated Communications Agreement. 

 

L G Professionals Submission

Noted

Perhaps this requirement should have the status of a formally adopted Council policy and included in the Council Policy Manual, rather than differentiated as an “Agreement”?

Our observation is that dealing with the Council is more like dealing with a parliament than dealing with a single Minister.

 

NOT SUPPORTED

 

The requirement for a Communication Agreement between the Council and the CEO is not supported as there should be unambiguous provisions included in the Local Government Act relating to the provision of information to Council and Council Members so that there are clear expectations and transparency aligned to a consistent approach across the local government sector. 

 

Clear criteria is required to support Council members communications with Administration so as not to divert disproportionate time and resources. 

5.4 Local Governments May Pay Superannuation Contributions for Elected Members

 

 

·      Elected members are eligible to receive sitting fees or an annual allowance.

·      Superannuation is not paid to elected members. However, councillors can currently divert part of their allowances to a superannuation fund.

·      Councils should be reflective and representative of the people living within the district. Local governments should be empowered to remove any barriers to the participation of gender and age diverse people on councils.

·      It is proposed that local governments should be able to decide, through a vote of council, to pay superannuation contributions for elected members. These contributions would be additional to existing allowances.

·      Superannuation is widely recognised as an important entitlement to provide long term financial security.

·      Other states have already moved to allow councils to make superannuation contributions for councillors.

·      Allowing council to provide superannuation is important part of encouraging equality for people represented on council – particularly for women and younger people.

·      Providing superannuation to councillors recognises that the commitment to elected office can reduce a person’s opportunity to undertake employment and earn superannuation contributions.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is no advocacy position in relation to Item 5.4.

Comment

WALGA was in the process of consulting with the sector when this reform was announced. The feedback to date from Local Governments varied. The proposed discretionary approach will permit Local Governments to exercise general competence powers to make their own determination on paying superannuation to Council Members.

 

Recommendation

Supported

 

 

 

 

SUPPORTED

 

This is supported as local governments should be able to determine if Council Members should receive superannuation.

 

 

 

5.5 Local Governments May Establish Education Allowances

 

 

·      Local government elected members must complete mandatory training.

·      There is no specific allowance for undertaking further education.

·      Local governments will have the option of contributing to the education expenses for councillors, up to a defined maximum value, for tuition costs for further education that is directly related to their role on council.

·      Councils will be able to decide on a policy for education expenses, up to a maximum yearly value for each councillor. Councils may also decide not to make this entitlement available to elected members.

·      Any allowance would only be able to be used for tuition fees for courses, such as training programs, diplomas, and university studies, which relate to local government.

·      Where it is made available, this allowance will help councillors further develop skills to assist with making informed decisions on important questions before council, and also provide professional development opportunities for councillors.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Item 5.5 generally aligns with Advocacy Position 2.8 - Elected Member Training

Support Local Governments being required to establish an Elected Member Training Policy to encourage training and include budgetary provision of funding for Elected Members;

Comment

The proposal augments recent Act amendments that require Local Governments to adopt a professional development policy for Council Members. Many Local Governments now budget for training requirements that align with the policy statement.

 

Recommendation

Supported

 

 

Submission on 10 October 2017 (CE02-10/17)

 

The State Government should provide funding for training for Elected Members inclusive of course fees and associated travel costs.

 

Training should not be compulsory nor be a legislative obligation. There is no such requirement for State Parliamentarians and therefore there should not be a requirement for Elected Members.

 

It is not appropriate to penalise an Elected Member who chooses not to participate or complete mandatory training.

 

·         It is considered appropriate that there be a legislative obligation for a local government CEO to deliver a comprehensive induction program aligned to core competencies for newly Elected Members which covers base level competencies but also contextualised for the respective local governments.

 

SUPPORTED

 

Education and training for Council Members is supported and it is the current practice of the City of Wanneroo to have a policy position and budget allowance available for this purpose.

 

Departmental and/or Ministerial circulars may also have a role to play in training and education.

5.6 Standardised Election Caretaker period

 

 

·      There is currently no requirement for a formal caretaker period, with individual councils operating under their own policies and procedures.

·      This is commonly a point of public confusion.

·      A statewide caretaker period for local governments is proposed.

·      All local governments across the State would have the same clearly defined election period, during which:

Councils do not make major decisions with criteria to be developed defining ‘major’

Incumbent councillors who nominate for re-election are not to represent the local government, act on behalf of the council, or use local government resources to support campaigning activities.

There are consistent election conduct rules for all candidates.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is no advocacy position in relation to Item 5.6

Comment

WALGA developed a template Caretaker Policy in 2017 on request for a consistent approach. There are no know instances where Caretaker Policy have led to unforeseen or unmanageable consequences impacting on decision-making functions.

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-03/19)

Local governments should in principle, be required to adopt a caretaker period that restricts council from making major decisions during a local government election period however care needs to be exercised considering that State Government has elections every 4 years and local government elections are every 2 years. So with 50% of Council continuing there is the potential for major disruption when there is so much business required to run the Council

 

Submission on 22 September 2020 (CE03-09/20)

·         Whilst the idea of a caretaker policy is supported, this is impossible to practically implement if the whole Council is up for election every four years and all Council Members will be subject to the caretaker policy. The Caretaker Policy should not be mandatory.

 

·         Considering that if a whole new Council or a substantial portion of a new Council is elected it

·         would take significant time before that Council would become an effective decision making body.

·          

·         Combined with preferential voting there is the potential to encourage factional and political alliances.

·          

·         The City’s submission to Council on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19) on Phase 2 of the Local Government Act 1995 Review included the following statements: -

Council disagrees that Council elections should be held every four years rather than every two years with all council members being elected at the same time.

SUPPORTED

 

A consistent approach across the local government sector to the care-taker period is supported as long as local government can still operate and meet Act requirements.

5.7 Remove WALGA from the Act

 

 

·      The Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) is constituted under the Local Government Act 1995.

·      The Local Government Panel Report and the Select Committee Report included this recommendation.

·      The Local Government Panel Report recommended that WALGA not be constituted under the Local Government Act 1995.

·      Separating WALGA out of the Act will provide clarity that WALGA is not a State Government entity.

 

 

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is no advocacy position in relation to Item 5.7.

Comment

WALGA is conducting its own due diligence on this proposal, previously identified in the Local Government Review Panel Report. The outcome of this reform would require a transition of WALGA from a body constituted under the Act to an incorporated association. It is important to the Local Government sector that the provisions relating to the mutual self-insurance scheme and tender exempt prequalified supply panels remain in the Act and are not affected by this proposal. Further work is being carried out by WALGA to fully understand the effect this proposal will have on WALGA and the sector.

Recommendation

WALGA to undertake its due diligence on this proposal and advise the sector accordingly.

5.8 CEO Recruitment

 

 

·      Recent amendments introduced provisions to standardise CEO recruitment.

·      The recruitment of a CEO is a very important decision by a local government.

·      It is proposed that DLGSC establishes a panel of approved panel members to perform the role of the independent person on CEO recruitment panels.

·      Councils will be able to select an independent person from the approved list.

·      Councils will still be able to appoint people outside of the panel with the approval of the Inspector.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is no advocacy position in relation to Item 5.8.

Comment

The proposed reform augments the CEO Standards in relation to recruitment introduced in February 2021. 

 

Recommendation

Supported

Submission on 6 February 2018 (CE03-02/18)

The Public Sector Commission should be required to provide guidelines for local governments in recruiting and selecting CEOs.  Local governments should be able to seek assistance if they do not have the requisite skills or experience to undertake the recruitment and selection of the CEO.

 

Submission on 17 November 2020 (CEO2-11/20)

 

The Public Sector Commission should be involved in the recruitment of local government CEOs to ensure a consistent approach across the sector as well as given some alignment to Public Sector Recruitment standards including diversity issues.

 

AND

 

·         Reconfirm Council’s previous submission and note that the Public Sector Commission’s role should be to monitor that the standards are met by local governments recruiting, reviewing the performance of and appointing a CEO.

 

AND

 

·         The job description form for a local government CEO should be reviewed by Public Sector Commission and advice provided to the respective local government before adoption to ensure a standard and consistent approach across the sector.

 

AND

 

·         Support the establishment of a selection panel for the appointment of the CEO.  Note that the Public Sector Commission should be involved in the selection panel. Local governments should also engage a qualified recruitment consultant to assist Council with the CEO recruitment process.

PARTIALLY SUPPORTED

 

The City of Wanneroo agrees that an independent person should be appointed to a CEO recruitment panel, noting that that person should have no voting rights and also not be able to be the Chair. Their role should be clearly articulated as one that provides support to ensure processes and procedures are appropriately followed and that the agreed policies and assessment approach is followed.

 

To ensure a consistent approach across the sector, there should be alignment to Public Sector Recruitment standards including those relating to diversity issues.

 

 

Theme 6: Improved Financial Management and Reporting

6.1 Model Financial Statements and Tiered Financial Reporting

 

 

·      The financial statements published in the Annual Report is the main financial reporting currently published by local governments.

·      Reporting obligations are the same for large (Stirling, Perth, Fremantle) and small (Sandstone, Wiluna, Dalwallinu) local governments, even though they vary significantly in complexity.

·      The Office of the Auditor General has said that some existing reporting requirements are unnecessary or onerous - for instance, information that is not relevant to certain local governments, or that is a duplicate of other published information.

·      The Minister strongly believes in transparency and accountability in local government. The public rightly expects the highest standards of integrity, good governance, and prudent financial management in local government.

·      It is critically important that clear information about the financial position of local governments is openly available to ratepayers. Financial information also supports community decision-making about local government services and projects.

·      Local governments differ significantly in the complexity of their operations. Smaller local governments generally have much less operating complexity than larger local governments.

·      The Office of the Auditor General has identified opportunities to improve financial reporting, to make statements clearer, and reduce unnecessary complexity.

·      Recognising the difference in the complexity of smaller and larger local governments, it is proposed that financial reporting requirements should be tiered – meaning that larger local governments will have greater financial reporting requirements than smaller local governments.

·      It is proposed to establish standard templates for Annual Financial Statements for band 1 and 2 councils, and simpler, clearer financial statements for band 3 and 4.

·      Online Registers, updated quarterly (see item 3.4), would provide faster and greater transparency than current annual reports. Standard templates will be published for use by local governments.

·      Simpler Strategic and Financial Planning (item 6.2) would also improve the budgeting process.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Items 6.1 and 6.2 generally align with Advocacy Position 2.6 – Support a size and scale compliance regime and Advocacy Position 2.6.24 – Financial Management and Procurement.

The Local Government sector:

1.  Requests the Minister for Local Government to direct the Department of Local Government to prepare a Model set of Financial Statements and Annual Budget Statements for the Local Government sector, in consultation with the Office of the Auditor General.

2.  Requests the Department of Local Government to re-assess the amount of detail required to be included in annual financial reports, in particular for small and medium sized entities as suggested by the Office of Auditor General.

Comment

The Sector has a long-standing position for a broad review of the financial management and reporting provisions of the Act, which remain largely unchanged since commencing in 1996. 

 

Recommendation

Supported

L G Professionals Submission

Supported

No previous submission specific to this matter.

GENERALLY SUPPORTED

 

Transparency and accountability in local government is supported.  Improved financial reporting should be implemented with an appropriate level of planning.

 

Standards templates for financial reporting is supported however it is not clear how such templates will accommodate the complexity of large local governments reporting requirements.

 

DLGSC should provide a greater level of support to smaller and regional local governments to meet financial transparency, accountability and reporting requirements.

 

 

 

6.2 Simplify Strategic and Financial Planning

 

 

·      Requirements for plans are outlined in the Local Government Financial Management and Administration Regulations.

·      There is also the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) framework.

·      While many councils successfully apply IPR to their budgeting and reporting, IPR may seem complicated or difficult, especially for smaller local governments.

·      Having clear information about the finances of local government is an important part of enabling informed public and ratepayer engagement and input to decision-making.

·      The framework for financial planning should be based around information being clear, transparent, and easy to understand for all ratepayers and members of the public.

·      In order to provide more consistency and clarity across the State, it is proposed that greater use of templates is introduced to make planning and reporting clearer and simpler, providing greater transparency for ratepayers.

·      Local governments would be required to adopt a standard set of plans, and there will be templates published by the DLGSC for use or adaption by local governments.

·      It is proposed that the plans that are required are:

Simplified Council Plans that replace existing Strategic Community Plans and set high-level objectives, with a new plan required at least every eight years. These will be short-form plans, with a template available from the DLGSC

Simplified Asset Management Plans to consistently forecast costs of maintaining the local government’s assets. A new plan will be required at least every ten years, though local governments should update the plan regularly if the local government gains or disposes of major assets (e.g. land, buildings, or roads). A template will be provided, and methods of valuations will be simplified to reduce red tape

Simplified Long Term Financial Plans will outline any long term financial management and sustainability issues, and any investments and debts. A template will be provided, and these plans will be required to be reviewed in detail at least every four years

A new Rates and Revenue Policy (see item 6.3) that identifies the approximate value of rates that will need to be collected in future years (referencing the Asset Management Plan and Long Term Financial Plan) – providing a forecast to ratepayers (updated at least every four years)

The use of simple, one-page Service Proposals and Project Proposals that outline what proposed services or initiatives will cost, to be made available through council meetings. These will become Service Plans and Project Plans added to the yearly budget if approved by council. This provides clear transparency for what the functions and initiatives of the local government cost to deliver. Templates will be available for use by local governments.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

As above

L G Professionals Position

Supported.

Whilst it is acknowledged that these are simply proposals at this stage, more detail is needed to understand transitional arrangements to the new strategic plans, how templates will recognise sector diversity, and the value thresholds and structure of Service & Project proposals.

 

Submission on 5 March 2019 (CE03-02/19)

A local government should be free to conduct its long-term and operational planning in whatever manner it wishes.  Reviewing plans is considered business as usual however the local government should determine when reviews are required.

 

Local governments should be required to publish measures of success in implementing their long-term and operational plans and these should be included in the Annual Report. 

 

The State Government should use local government Integrated Planning and Reporting documents to inform policy and service delivery and all local government plans, including Local Public Health Plans, Disability Access Plans and Town Planning Schemes, should be combined under Integrated Planning and Reporting.

 

The community should be actively involved in the development of the Strategic Community Plan and the local government to be able to demonstrate this.

 

IPR should ensure that service levels are transparent for customers as this will also help explain the cost of delivering such services.

 

Strategic Community Plan:  Supportive of some minimum standards or parameters in respect to planning, be it tiered or otherwise for varying sizes of local governments then elaborate and adopt an approach to suit.

 

Supportive and see some value of publishing “appropriate” and “fair” KPIs to measure levels of success as a means for benchmarking – both from community’s perspective and local government comparisons.

 

Supportive of State Government using local government documents to better inform their policy and service delivery – collaboration, awareness.

 

Supportive (where possible) of integration of plans – may not be across the board, but grouped and integrated where feasible.

 

Community should be:

 

a.    Involved in development of strategic plan.

b.    Provided with opportunity for some level of feedback through drafting process at least.

c.     Notified (published) of local government plans and reports.

d.    Able to assess a local government’s success in achieving priorities – e.g. through an aligned, periodic Community Satisfaction Survey or the like.

 

With respect to meeting community engagement requirements when developing their IPR documents, would suggest the need to demonstrate the community has been engaged in the development of and completion of draft plans, including an effort and evidence it is representative of the community’s diverse population.

 

Submission on 22 September 2020 (CEO3-09/20).

 

The governance principles and compliance requirements should be same irrespective of the size or capability of the local government, however for smaller or less capable local governments, the Department should provide advice and support.

Further, a tiered-system could be appropriate for regional local governments if it is limited to specific aspects and does not denigrate from minimum compliance requirements.

 

PARTIALLY SUPPORTED

 

Transparency and accountability in local government is supported.

 

Standard template plans for reporting is supported however this should not restrict larger local governments from developing and using more comprehensive and detailed plans.

 

DLGSC should provide a greater level of support to smaller and regional local governments to meet financial transparency, accountability and reporting requirements instead of oversimplifying the process.

Level 1 and 2 local governments should be more sophisticated in their planning both in strategic planning and especially financial planning given large asset bases needing future renewal/replacement.

 

Reforms should consider the WALGA Systemic Sustainability Study Report.

 

There is limited prescription at the moment so if a local government wants to do a simple LTFP they can. Given the sustainability of local governments requires a long term and integrated view it is not considered good governance to continue to simplify the important issue of planning. More discussion and detail welcomed.

 

 

6.3 Rates and Revenue Policy

 

 

·      Local governments are not required to have a rates and revenue policy.

·      Some councils defer rate rises, resulting in the eventual need to drastically raise rates to cover unavoidable costs – especially for the repair of infrastructure.

 

 

·      The Rates and Revenue Policy is proposed to increase transparency for ratepayers by linking rates to basic operating costs and the minimum costs for maintaining essential infrastructure.

·      A Rates and Revenue Policy would be required to provide ratepayers with a forecast of future costs of providing local government services.

·      The Policy would need to reflect the Asset Management Plan and the Long Term Financial Plan (see item 6.2), providing a forecast of what rates would need to be, to cover unavoidable costs.

·      A template would be published for use or adaption by all local governments.

The Local Government Panel Report included this recommendation.

Current Local Government Position

Item 6.3 generally aligns with Advocacy Position 2.1.6 - Rate Setting and WALGA’s Rate Setting Policy Statement.

Councils’ deliberative rate setting processes reference their Integrated Planning Framework – a thorough strategic, financial and asset management planning process – and draw upon the community’s willingness and capacity to pay.

 

Recommendation

Supported

Submission on 5 march 2019 (CE03-03/19)

Question:  Should Local governments be required to prepare a Rates and Revenue Strategy each financial year.

 

Response:  Local governments should have a Rates and Revenue Strategy, however to prepare this document each financial year is excessive.

 

A Rates and Revenue Strategy should be mandatory with a review to be carried out every 3 years.  Local governments already have a Long Term Financial Plan which includes Revenue Policy.

 

Question:  Should the value of the property continue to be used to partially determine the value of the rates payable.

 

Response:  This disperses the impost of rates evenly. Consider how a property in a lower socio economic suburb be charged the same level of rates as a property in a more affluent suburb.

 

This is the best method to clearly give comparative application to normalisation of property rateability. It is considered appropriate that there are more than one method to value land considering the type of land and its use.

 

The model applied by local Governments in the Eastern States seems to have merit but requires further investigation.

 

Question:  Should all types of rateable property pay the same rate in the dollar, regardless of how the land is used.

 

Response:  For a local government that has a diverse rate base that includes GRV Residential, Commercial/Industrial and Vacant Land as well as UV Residential, Commercial /Industrial, Vacant Land and Rural/Mining uniformly rating would not be fair and equitable to all ratepayers.

 

There are strategic reasons for differences. Consider that industrial may be undesirable in some areas.

 

Question:  Currently, local governments are required to seek Ministerial approval when seeking to impose a rate in the dollar that is more than twice the lowest of its other rating categories. What is your preferred approach to differential rates?

 

Response:  If the local government applies the rules of equity, transparency and fairness then Ministerial approval should not be required.

 

Question:  Should all land be subject to rates?

 

Response:  The properties that are currently rate exempt still utilise the works and services provided by the local government, therefore they should be contributing to the cost of the provision. This would spread the rate

burden across all properties.

 

It should be noted that the properties that receive a rate exemption are usually high end users of the works and services provided by a local government at the expense of other ratepayers. The rate burden should be distributed evenly across all property owners.

 

There should be equity and fairness in rating or exemption of these types of facilities in the same way that there is a whole of state approach to the provision of rebates and deferments for pensioners.

 

It is considered appropriate that there is more than one method to value land considering the type of land and its use. The model applied by the Eastern States local governments seems to have merit but requires further investigation

 

The Act should allow for differential rating to enable a differential rate to be applied on the basis of the length of time a property has remained in an undeveloped state.

 

SUPPORTED

A Rates and Revenue Policy needs to integrate with an Expenditure and Assets Management and Reserve Policy.

 

For example, the City of Wanneroo has a budget policy which sets the principles for the annual and longer term budgeting including Rates.

6.4 Monthly Reporting of Credit Card Statements

 

 

·      No legislative requirement.

·      Disclosure requirements brought in by individual councils have shown significant reduction of expenditure of funds.

·      The statements of a local government’s credit cards used by local government employees will be required to be tabled at council at meetings on a monthly basis.

·      This provides oversight of incidental local government spending.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

There is no advocacy position in relation to Item 6.4.

Comment

This proposed reform reflects widespread common practice for credit card transactions to be included in monthly financial reports and lists of accounts paid.

 

Recommendation

Supported

No previous submission specific to this

matter

PARTIALLY SUPPORTED

 

Greater transparency and accountability is supported and credit card statements can be presented to Council meeting as part of the Warrant of Payments, noting that the Warrant of Payments includes all payments made (including credit card transactions).

 

This method has been acknowledged as being appropriate by the Office of the Auditor General.

 

6.5 Amended Financial Ratios

 

 

·      Local governments are required to report seven ratios in their annual financial statements.

·      These are reported on the MyCouncil website.

·      These ratios are intended to provide an indication of the financial health of every local government.

·      Financial ratios will be reviewed in detail, building on work already underway by the DLGSC.

·      The methods of calculating ratios and indicators will be reviewed to ensure that the results are accurate and useful.
 

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

Item 6.5 aligns with Advocacy Position 2.6.25 - Review and reduce financial ratios.

Advocate to the Minister for Local Government to amend the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 to prescribe the following ratios:

a.  Operating Surplus Ratio,

b.  Net Financial Liabilities Ratio,

c.  Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and

d.  Current Ratio.

 

Recommendation

Supported

L G Professionals Submission

Supported

No previous submission specific to this matter

SUPPORTED

 

The review of the financial ratios is supported noting that the financial ratios must take into consideration the accurate financial position and be a useful measure. 

 

Financial Ratios need to reflect the diversity of the sector and not be a ‘same size fits all’. 

 

For example, the assets sustainability ratio does not work well for growth councils.


 


6.6 Audit Committees

 

 

·      Local governments must establish an Audit Committee that has three or more persons, with the majority to be council members.

·      The Audit Committee is to guide and assist the local government in carrying out the local government’s functions in relation to audits conducted under the Act.

·      The Panel Report identified that Audit Committees should be expanded, including to provide improved risk management.

·      To ensure independent oversight, it is proposed the Chair of any Audit Committee be required to be an independent person who is not on council or an employee of the local government.

·      Audit Committees would also need to consider proactive risk management.

·      To reduce costs, it is proposed that local governments should be able to establish shared Regional Audit Committees.

·      The Committees would be able to include council members but would be required to include a majority of independent members and an independent chairperson.

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

 

Item 6.6 does not align with Advocacy Position 2.2.4 – Accountability and Audit

That audit committees of Local Government, led and overseen by the Council, have a clearly defined role with an Elected Member majority and chair.

Comment

The Sector’s view is well established, that the Council must maintain, and be seen by the community to have, majority involvement and investment in the purpose of an Audit Committee. There is sector support for some independent members on the Audit Committee, however not a majority.

The dual effect of the proposed reform is to guarantee a place for a majority of independent persons on Audit Committees, with the additional requirement that an independent person Chair this Committee. Presently, not all Local Government Audit Committees are able to include an independent person. This may be for a variety of reasons not least of which is a lack of suitable, available candidates with the required qualification, skill and experience.

It would be counter-productive if the proposed reforms led to the appointment of unsuitable independent persons to a skills-based role. The concept of Regional Audit Committees has apparent merit in this case but there is no detail regarding practicalities; for example, is the Regional Audit Committee intended to include the same independent persons who will meet separately with each Local Government within the region?

There is too little certainty that the imperative question of appropriate representation will be managed as a consequence of the proposed reforms for it to be supported. 

The proposal for the Audit Committees to also consider proactive risk management is supported.

Recommendation

1.   Do not support majority independent members of the Audit Committee

2.   Support Audit Committees of Local Government with an Elected Member majority including independent members, and to consider proactive risk management issues.

 

L G Professionals Submission

Many local governments will be unable to obtain the services of an increased number of suitably skilled independent members, certainly without substantial cost. In these circumstances an Audit committee with a majority of independent members and an independent Chair seems unrealistic.

 

Regional Audit Committees will introduce additional costs and challenges around travel for elected members and staff and may not allow for adequate consideration of each local government’s unique situation.

 

Modern communications technology could facilitate meetings, however reliance on “Zoom” style meetings is marginal in many rural and remote areas of the state.

 

Options for the structure and membership of Audit committees should reflect the operational and locational diversity of the sector.

 

Including a risk management requirement is supported.

Submission on 5 march 2019 (CE03-03/19)

·         Best practice guidance for audit committees refer to requiring independent skilled person(s) as a member of the committee however if the majority membership is independent of Council this could lead to a disconnect between the committee and Council. Council’s role is to oversee risk and improvements.

·          

·          

·          

PARTIALLY SUPPORTED

 

Independent oversight of the Audit and Risk Committee including independent member/s is supported.  It is noted that independent member/s instead of an independent Chair may provide greater oversight as the Chair’s predominate role is to Chair the Audit and Risk Committee meeting.

 

The City’s current Audit and Risk Committee proactively considers enterprise risk management.

 

Consideration should be given to how this relates to the role of the CEO and to whom an independent person might report.

 

Suggest that there be at least one independent member or more but with Council member majority. This would ensure that the accountability is still with the Council.

 

6.7 Building Upgrade Finance

 

 

·      The local government sector has sought reforms that would enable local governments to provide loans to property owners to finance for building improvements.

·      This is not currently provided for under the Act.

·      The Local Government Panel Report included this recommendation.

·      Reforms would allow local governments to provide loans to third parties for specific building improvements - such as cladding, heritage and green energy fixtures.

·      This would allow local governments to lend funds to improve buildings within their district.

·      Limits and checks and balances would be established to ensure that financial risks are proactively managed.

 

Current Local Government Position (WALGA)

 

Item 6.7 aligns with Advocacy Position 2.6.26 - Building Upgrade Finance.

The Local Government Act 1995 should be amended to enable a Building Upgrade Finance mechanism in Western Australia.

Comment

Building Upgrade Finance would enable Local Governments to guarantee finance for building upgrades for non-residential property owners. In addition to building upgrades to achieve environmental outcomes, Local Governments have identified an opportunity to use this approach to finance general upgrades to increase the commercial appeal of buildings for potential tenants. In this way, BUF is viewed as means to encourage economic investment to meet the challenges of a soft commercial lease market and achieve economic growth.

 

Recommendation

Supported

 

No previous submission specific to this matter

NOT SUPPORTED

 

Local governments are not lending agencies, which is appropriate. There would be a significant cost impact to develop an appropriate framework and it could allow for problematic community expectations.

 

There are also other statutory mechanisms that allow for a loan (or equivalent) to be provided in emergencies or for conservation purposes. For example, section 84 of the Heritage Act 2018 allows the Heritage Council to provide (inter alia) financial assistance to ensure certain buildings are appropriately conserved. Such financial assistance arises in very specific circumstances, and therefore should be managed by the niche organisations to which the requirement relates, such as the Heritage Council or Building Commission, not local government.

 

In addition if a local government were to be a lender it would need very strong financial planning in place which conflicts with item 6.2.

 


6.8 Cost of Waste Service to be Specified on Rates Notices

 

 

·      No requirement for separation of waste changes on rates notice.

·      Disclosure will increase ratepayer awareness of waste costs.

·      The Review Panel Report included this recommendation.

·      It is proposed that waste charges are required to be separately shown on rate notices (for all properties which receive a waste service).

·      This would provide transparency and awareness of costs for ratepayers.

Issue

That Council:-

1.       note that the expanded authorisations and delegations extended to the CEO through resolution 2 of (CE01-03/21) will lapse at the 15 February 2022 Ordinary Council meeting;

2.       consider extending authorisations to the CEO relating to the reduction of the quorum for Council Meetings and changes to services (including ceasing or providing new services) and service levels as deemed appropriate by the Chief Executive Officer. 

Background

In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic the Minister for Emergency Services declared a State of Emergency in Western Australia (WA); the Minister for Health declared a Public Health State of Emergency in WA; and the Governor-General of Australia declared that a Human Biosecurity Emergency exists in Australia in accordance with the Biosecurity Act 2015 (Cth). 

In response, Council adopted several expanded authorisations and delegations to ensure that the City could with agility, effectively and efficiently respond to and manage the City’s operations during the COVID-19 Pandemic and provide the necessary assistance to the community. 

Low numbers of COVID-19 infections however prompted the WA State Government to remove most of the enforced restrictions resulting in the expanded authorisations and delegations being revoked with the exception of those adopted at the 16 March 2021 Council meeting

A ‘Stay at Home and Closure Direction’ issued pursuant to section 61, 67 and 72A of the Emergency Management Act 2005 was subsequently issued on 24 April 2021.

On 29 April 2021, the CEO advised Council Members through a memorandum that it was not proposed to implement Council’s resolution of 16 March 2021 in its entirety other than the authorisation to the CEO to make any and all changes to services (including ceasing or providing new services) and service levels as deemed necessary by the CEO to ensure compliance with the Directions.

The following facilities were affected:

·        The Customer Service Centres (Civic Centre, Clarkson Library and YTRAC).

·        City libraries.

·        Wanneroo Regional Museum.

·        Buckingham House and Cockman House.

·        Wanneroo Gallery.

·        Aquamotion and Kingsway Indoor Stadium.

·        All City community centres, youth centres and sporting facilities.

·        Public BBQs.

·        Playgrounds, including Kingsway Splash Pad. 

·        Enclosed dog parks.

·        Carramar and Marangaroo Golf Courses.

 

In addition, the Wangara Greens Recycling Facility was closed for specific days as well as the Community Waste Drop-off Weekend.

The following programs were also cancelled or postponed –

·        GOLD Program.

·        Youth Outreach Program.

·        Marangaroo Summer Sideshow.

·        the City's Annual General Meeting.

 

Detail

It is not proposed to request an extension to the expanded delegations and authorisations adopted at the 16 March 2021 Council meeting with the exception of authorisations to the Chief Executive Officer relating to:-

·        Changes to services (including ceasing or providing new services) and service levels; and  

·        Reduction of the number required for a quorum.

 

The decision to implement Council’s resolution will be exercised by the CEO contingent on the extent of a COVID outbreak that could affect providing services and facilities, the ability to hold in-person meetings or the ability to achieve a quorum due to illness or the requirement to self-isolate.

Council is to note that in addition to the above authorisations, it may become necessary to conduct council meetings, special council meetings and committee meetings (including audit committee meetings) by electronic means.

Statistics from the eastern states suggest that there is the strong likelihood that Western Australia will experience severe impacts resulting from a COVID outbreak.  There are currently a number of cases across the state with those numbers increasing daily.

At the time of writing this report, New South Wales had 337,818 and Queensland 109,524   active cases.  South Australia opened its borders to the rest of the nation on 23 November 2021 and had its first Omicron spread in the community on 10 December 2021 when there was 53 active COVID-19 cases of any kind and three weeks later, it eclipsed 10,000 cases.  Tasmania opened its borders on 15 December 2021 and went from 11 active cases on 20 December 2021, to 198 cases a week later, 1686 the week after that and by Monday 10 January 2022 the numbers rose to 7917. 

With cases numbers climbing in the Eastern States, labour shortages are becoming evident as people are required to isolate due to contracting COVD 19, which in turn affects the supply of goods and services. 

Local authorities in the Eastern States are impacted by staff absences, which are particularly acute in adult social care, children’s services and waste collection services. Its membership body, the Local Government Association, said that councils were concerned that existing staff shortages “could get worse”.

The following expanded authorisations are proposed to be effective from the date of this Council resolution for a period of six months until more is known on the Omicron variant and associated modelling by State Government.

Amendments in March 2020 to the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 (Regulations) enabled council meetings, special council meetings and committee meetings (including audit committee meetings) to be held online or via telephone during a public health emergency or a state of emergency.  The amendments also enabled either individual council members or the entire council to participate in meetings remotely.

Given that a COVID 19 outbreak will pose a risk to the health and well-being of Council Members, staff and the public, Council is to note that the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Mayor and subject to direction notices from the WA State Government may determine that meetings of Council will need to be conducted via electronic means in accordance with the Regulations.  Public notices and additional advertising of this arrangement will be provided in advance for public information and in accordance with statutory legislation.

As Briefing sessions and Council meetings are usually open to the public to attend, these will be recorded, with consideration of Regulation 14E(3)(b)(iii) of the Regulations and a broadcast of these meetings will be made accessible to the public on the City’s website.  

The Recording and Access to Recordings of Council meetings policy provides that the CEO is authorised to make a broadcast of the audio recording of such meetings accessible to the public as soon as practicable after the meeting.

Ordinary Council Meeting – Quorum

Council, through Resolution CE01-04/20 authorised the CEO to make an application to the Minister to reduce the number of Council Member offices to achieve a quorum in circumstances where a quorum cannot be achieved.  This authorisation has lapsed, however as the COVID-19 Pandemic continues to pose a threat, Administration recommends that it be re-instated. 

Services and Service Levels

Council granted a number of delegations and authorisations to the CEO in relation to operational issues of the City which will expire at the 15 February 2022 Council meeting, however, given the potential for a COVID-19 outbreak, it is prudent for Council to consider granting an authorisation to the CEO to make any and all changes to services (including ceasing or providing new services) and service levels as deemed necessary by the Chief Executive Officer. 

All Council Members will be notified of decisions made and enacted during any given period on a monthly basis through the Council Members Portal.

Community Consultation

Considering that our community will be focused on the impact of any COVID 19 outbreak, Council is to note that it may be considered appropriate that the City does not engage in community consultation that is not otherwise required statutorily.  Our community will be best placed to actively engage and participate in consultation once the emergency situation is past.

Continuity of Management

As set out above the authorisations identified in this report are part of the City’s Crisis Management Strategy in respect of the COVID-19 Pandemic which will ensure the continued business, available service provision and operation of the City through the current management and Executive structure.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

New restrictions and measures to control an outbreak are likely to be imposed by the WA Government to alleviate pressures on the hospital system and staff shortages due to illness are likely to impact the City’s ability to continue certain services and for facilities to remain open.

The City will need to be agile in responding to changes in this environment and the recommended authorisations will assist.

Council should note that the authorisations as set out in this report are for a period of 6 months from the date of Council’s resolution.  If an outbreak of COVID-19 requires that this be extended, a further report to Council will be presented for consideration.

MN01-02/22      Cr Chris Baker – Consider Need for a Review and Update of the City's Cat Local Law

Issue

To consider the need for a review and update of the City’s Cat Local Law provisions to address cat control issues, such as a cat curfews.

Background

There is some community concern that the practice of allowing domestic cats to roam off their owner’s property is having a detrimental effect on neighbouring properties, along with the well documented impact on the environment with birds and native animals often subject to injury or death by uncontrolled cats.

The current City of Wanneroo Cat Local Law 2016 (Local Law) provides support to the Cat Act 2011 (WA) and associated regulations. The local law makes provisions such as restricting the number of cats that may be kept at a premises. The local law also provides structure to the process, decision making and objection and review rights. There are no provisions in the existing local law relating to the movement or confinement of cats.

Neither the Cat Act 2011 or the Cat Regulations 2012 provide any restrictions on the movement or containment of cats. There is provision to enable an authorised person, (in the case of the City this being Rangers) to seize a cat in a public place where they suspect an offence against the Act is being committed or at the request of and with the consent of the owner/occupier of a premises.

Authorised persons may impound a cat that is found in a resident’s premises without their consent, however other than a cat owner paying an impound fee, there is no offence being committed and no further action can be taken.

Section 79 of the Cat Act authorises Local Governments to make local laws for the following purposes:

(a)     the registration of cats;

(b)     removing and impounding cats;

(c)     keeping, transferring and disposing of cats kept at cat management facilities;

(d)     the humane destruction of cats;

(e)     cats creating a nuisance;

(f)      specifying places where cats are prohibited absolutely;

(g)     requiring that in specified areas a portion of the premises on which a cat is kept must be enclosed in a manner capable of confining cats;

(h)     limiting the number of cats that may be kept at premises, or premises of a particular type;

(i)      the establishment, maintenance, licensing, regulation, construction, use, record keeping and inspection of cat management facilities;

(j)      the regulation of approved cat breeders, including record keeping and inspection; and

(k)     fees and charges payable in respect of any matter under this Act.

Detail

The City has a process in place to assist residents with nuisance cats, initially trying to deter the presence of the cat before attempting to trap the cat where deterring fails. Cats that are impounded as a result are either returned to their owners or if unowned may be rehomed or euthanised where they are found to be feral or not suitable for rehoming. 

Other Local Governments such as the Shire of Mundaring, and Cities of Mandurah, Cockburn and Stirling have adopted local laws to restrict the movement of cats, create prohibited places, curfews and other offences.

The City’s Cat Local Law 2016 is due for a statutory review in 2024.

Consultation

No formal community consultation has taken place in regard to Cat Local Laws other than being advertised and opportunity provided for comment. The control of cats is a complicated issue and it may be appropriate to seek community feedback in a broad context to assist in identifying what specific provisions may be required and this would inform a review of the City’s Cat Local Law.

Comment

In view of the concerns raised, it is suggested that a review of the Cat Local Law is brought forward and local law provisions from other jurisdictions, including other States and Territories, be undertaken to enable suitable provisions to be identified and a draft amended local law prepared.

Statutory Compliance

The Cat Act 2011 provides for the City to make local laws under the provisions of Section 79. The Cat Local Law 2016 was adopted in accordance with the Act and is due for review in 2024.

 

Amendment to the current local law requires the proposed amendment local law to be publically advertised for 42 days inviting comment then a further report to Council before any changes can be adopted.

Strategic Implications

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

7 ~ A well governed and managed City that makes informed decisions, provides strong community leadership and valued customer focused services

7.1 - Clear direction and decision making

2.       REQUEST Administration to review the Cat Local Law 2016 inclusive of review of applicable local laws in WA and other States and Territories, and a draft amendment local law is prepared for consideration informed by responses from the community consultation; and

3.       REQUEST Administration provide a consolidated report to Council regarding cat control issues for consideration.

 

Carried Unanimously

 

Administration Comment

The control and management of domestic cats control issues are complex. Laws relating to cat control have only been in place since 2012 and there is no common approach amongst Local Governments in implementing the legislation. Further direction from State Government was expected to occur with the 2021 review of the Cat Act however little further guidance or direction has been provided to date.

In 2021, the City received 57 Customer Service Requests in regard to unregistered, stray and nuisance cats. In addition, 247 requests were received for cat collections where cats had been handed to vets or trapped/captured by residents.

Administration has received a limited number of complaints regarding the adequacy of the existing Cat Local Law. It is currently not known how widespread community interest is in this matter.

Given this, community consultation is considered a critical element to be considered prior to further development of the Cat Local Law beyond the current provisions and it is recommended that this consultation include targeted engagement with registered cat owners in the City.

It should be noted that implementing Cat Local Law provisions such as night curfews, restriction on movements and other cat control measures would create an expectation from the community that the City can control cat movements.  This would be an unrealistic expectation as cats are very difficult to control, handle and contain and there are animal welfare issues that need to be carefully managed. The resourcing implications would be significant and the success rate or customer satisfaction very low.

Issue

To consider the design and installation of lighting at the Warradale Park skate park utilising funds from PR-4198 the Warradale Park Passive Park Lighting project.

 

Background

Warradale Park (the Park) is located at 31 Warradale Terrace, Landsdale. The site has two lots; Lot Number 13968 and Lot 801 on Reserve No. 45966 (Attachment 1). The Park has an overall land area of approximately 11 hectares classifying it as a District Park and is Crown Land vested to the City of Wanneroo (City) for the purpose of public recreation.

As part of the 2017/18 Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) a nominal budget (based on previous projects) of $70,000 was allocated to PR-4198 Warradale Park Passive Park Lighting, to provide eco lighting around the path network. Throughout the initial design phase a number of issues were identified that have significant impact on the project, creating delays and additional budget requirements.

In December 2021 an update was provided to the relevant Council Members on the issues with the proposed eco lighting around the path network at Warradale Park together with a number of options going forward. The issues are summarised below:

·        Lighting type: The original request was to install “eco-lighting” which does not adhere with relevant Australian Standards (AS1158); 

·        Existing power supply: the path network sits across two separate lots, which have their own power supply and would both require switchboard upgrades;

·        Aboriginal Heritage Sites: There are two identified Aboriginal Heritage sites within Warradale Park. As per advice from the Department Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) any works would require a Section 18, consultation with the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council and their nominated Whadjuk representative; and

·        Acid Sulphate Soils (ASS): excavation within the Park will require a Regulation 10 application with the Department of Environment and Conservation WA (DEC). Note this was completed and approved on 21 July 2020 with outcomes to be incorporated in the construction phase. 

 

The options going forward and cost estimates are provided below:

1.       Undertake path lighting to meet AS1158: $454,638

2.       Option 1 + lighting to skate park, basketball pad and playground: $703,778

3.       Provide ambient lighting to the dark sections (under trees) of the path only: $230,938

 

Given the issues that have arisen with the initial project proposal to install eco lighting to the park network at Warradale Park and the insufficient budget to progress the identified options, Administration’s recommendation was to terminate the project with the remaining funds to be reallocated within the Capital Works Program as required.

Detail

Due to the numerous requests from the community for lighting at the Warradale skate park, the proposal for Council’s consideration is to utilise a portion of the remaining budget from PR-4198 to undertake design, cost estimates and consultation for the installation of lighting at the Warradale skate park.

Consultation

Community consultation will be undertaken as per the City’s Community Engagement Policy and will include:

 

·        Proposed design on the City’s Your Say Page and online survey;

·        Information letter mail-out to residents and landowners within a 400m radius of the skate park; and

·        Direct consultation with user groups and stakeholders.

 

Comment

The City’s Sports Floodlighting Policy was approved in September 2020 and guides the provision of sports floodlighting at active sporting open spaces and recreational spaces. In regards to skate parks, BMX/pump tracks and the like, there are currently no Australian Standards. Therefore lighting standards for these types of outdoor sporting activities must meet a minimum horizontal illuminance of 100 lux at ground level, with a 0.5 uniformity (min/ave). Lighting for these spaces is to be sited to ensure there is no shadowing in bowls or glare when users are performing tricks. The method of illumination is to be floodlights with full cut-offs (to minimise light pollution) with poles located at least 3 metres from all active areas around the perimeters of the spaces so they do not become an obstruction to the users, noting that the final pole locations will be determined during the design stage to ensure the active functional area illuminated as outlined above.

Given the community demand for lighting at the Warradale skate park, the proposal for Council’s consideration is to change the scope of project PR-4198 to focus on undertaking  design, cost estimates and consultation for lighting at the skate park only and that a portion of the remaining funds in PR-4198 be utilised for this purpose.

A further report to Council will be presented on the outcomes of this work.

Policy Implications

The proposal to install lighting at Warradale skate park will need to comply with:

 

·        Sports Floodlighting Policy;

·        Community Engagement Policy; and

·        Public Open Space Policy.

Financial Implications

The total budget for PR-4198 Warradale Park Passive Lighting is $150,000, of which $65,638 has been spent on concept designs, investigations, Regulation 10 application and Aboriginal Heritage desktop studies. It is proposed to use approximately $3,000 of the remaining $84,362 to undertake design, cost estimates and consultation for the installation of lighting at the Warradale skate park.

Administration Comment

Floodlighting at skate parks is supported by the City’s Sports Floodlighting Policy. The City could undertake design, cost estimates and consultation using existing budget funds in PR-4198, however it is unlikely the existing budget would cover lighting construction costs. If the change of scope to PR-4198 is approved by Council, Administration will conduct the design, cost estimates and community consultation and provide a report back to Council for consideration.

MN03-02/22      Cr Paul Miles – East Wanneroo Cell 1 Developer Contribution Arrangements - Pre-payment of estimated excess funds to landowners

Issue

To consider the pre-payment of $3,092,677 in estimated excess funds from the East Wanneroo Cell 1 developer contribution arrangements account to past contributing landowners.

Background

The City’s District Planning Scheme No. 2 (DPS 2) provides the statutory basis for the administration and management of Developer Contributions Plans (DCP). DPS 2 requires the City to review the East Wanneroo Cell Costs, which includes the Estimated Lot Yields (ELY), actual expenditure in the previous financial year and the costs associated with completing the remaining Cell Works.

The annual review of the East Wanneroo Cell 1 developer contribution arrangements, including the submissions received during the public advertising of the annual review, was considered by Council on 7 December 2021.  As part of the submissions received, Council was requested by the Cell 1 landowners to approve a return of the retained contingency of $3,092,677 as a pre-payment, on the basis that the original reasons for not paying a pre-payment were no longer relevant and due to the fact that there is a high degree of certainty for the remaining income and cell works.  

As part of Administration’s response to the submissions received, Administration did not recommended the pre-payment until the remaining POS acquisition costs have been finalised.  Administration considered that the payment should not occur because the remaining Cell Works are based on estimated costs, where financial variances could occur resulting in a shortfall in funds to complete the remaining Cell Works; and future income to address any shortfall cannot be guaranteed.  

Detail

This Motion on Notice is to request Council to approve the return of the retained contingency of $3,092,677 as a pre-payment, as the reasons for not making the payment are no longer relevant as there is now a high degree of certainty for the remaining income and cell works.

It is therefore proposed that the pre-payment of $3,092,677 in estimated excess funds from the Cell 1 DCP account to past contributing landowners is based on each respective landowner’s total contributions as a proportion of the total contributions estimated at full development of the Cell, subject to each landowner executing a Deed of Acknowledgement.

It is noted that as of 31 December 2021, there is $5,001,755.84 in the Cell 1 reserve account, subject to the auditing of all outstanding expenditure.  After the pre-payment is paid, a balance of $1,909,078 will remain, which is sufficient to finalise the two outstanding POS acquisitions based on the land valuations approved for Cell 1 ($1,870,000 per hectare).     

Additional income has and will continue to be received and excess funds are likely to be higher than the previous estimates made by Council in June 2019. Whilst the Annual Review indicates future income of $1,693,786, there is likely to be higher than estimated lot yields (plus interest) and the ability to off-set POS compensation against landowner contributions.

The above is captured in the below table and would result in an estimated excess of $1,798,688 at the completion of all development.

Balance as at 31st December 2021 (Subject to audit)

       5,001,755

Less prepayment to Developers

-     3,092,677

Balance

       1,909,078

Less outstanding POS acquisitions

-     1,804,176

Plus remaining future income (Based on 9 lots per ha)

       1,693,786

Estimated balance at full development

       1,798,688

Any risks to the City associated with supporting the second pre-payment is minimised and can be mitigated through the annual review of costs and the prioritisation of Cell Works within this cell.  This means that if Council approve the pre-payment, there is a negligible risk that the remaining POS acquisition costs for Cell 1 will exceed the funds held in the Cell 1 account due to the following:

·        The Cell 1 balance will continue to grow due to interest earnings on retained funds, even in the improbable event that no further development contribution payments are received;

·        The two remaining areas of POS are to be acquired from land which itself has substantial subdivision potential under the Cell 1 Structure Plan with a corresponding liability to pay development contributions. Council can choose to  only acquire these POS areas once the remainder of those lots is subdivided or developed, thereby generating a contribution payment;

·        The number and value of development contributions still to be paid in Cell 1 is significantly higher than the conservative estimate upon which the DPS 2 calculation methodology is based;

·        It is questionable whether the owners of the land from which the remaining POS is to be acquired have any right to claim compensation, particularly considering the City's intent to acquire these POS areas through negotiation with the owners;

·        If the landowners are aggrieved by the assessed land acquisition value, they may exercise their right of review and arbitration under clause 9.14 of the Scheme, which will be far simpler, less costly, and less time-consuming than attempting to pursue a claim for compensation; and

·        If acquisition costs do increase for some reason, the affected landowners will bear a portion of those additional costs through payment of a higher development contribution rate.

 

This Motion on Notice does not advocate for the POS to be compulsory acquired, which is different from other recent cases; and the acquiring of the land will be negotiated through the normal process, which would minimise the risk for compensation claims often associated with the compulsory acquisition process.

Statutory Compliance

The annual review of the East Wanneroo Cell 1 is undertaken in line with the provisions of DPS 2.   External auditing of the DCP account has been completed in line with the provisions of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996.

The proposal aligns with the following objective within the Strategic Community Plan 2021 – 2031:

The Annual Review has been undertaken to ensure that adequate contingency is held to fund the remaining Cell Works and recognises factors that may affect a particular Cells income and expenditure estimates.  The work undertaken by the City in relation to the Internal Transactional Review and proper interpretation of the provisions of DPS 2 along with the completion of the Annual Review for all Cells reduces the City’s risk of impacts on trust, probity and accountability as it will bring the City to a level of compliance.

As all financial risk associated with the administration of DCPs falls on the City, any shortfall in DCP contributions to cover the outstanding excess funds, in the event that these costs escalate, would need to be funded through municipal funds.

Administration Comment

This Motion on Notice requests Council to consider the pre-payment of $3,092,677 in estimated excess funds from the Cell 1 DCP account to past contributing landowners based on each respective landowner’s total contributions as a proportion of the total contributions estimated at full development of the Cell. 

Administration considers the second pre-payment should not occur because the remaining Cell Works are based on estimated costs, where financial variances could occur resulting in a shortfall in funds to complete the remaining Cell Works; and future income to address any shortfall cannot be guaranteed.   Any shortfall in DCP funds to complete the cell works would need to be funded by the City through municipal funds.

Although there is sufficient funds in the account and Council could resolve to make the pre-payment as requested by the landowners, this does not provide the City with any flexibility to accommodate variations to the estimated remaining acquisition costs, until additional income has been received.  Administration is not recommending the payment for the following reasons:

·        Council resolved in 2019 to return $22.6 million to landowners as a pre-payment and this has occurred.

·        There is no legal requirement in DPS2 for Council to return excess funds prior to full development and closure of a cell.

·        Until all the POS is acquired there is still a risk to the City and Administration recommends minimising financial risk.

·        There has been instances in DCPs where the City has not been able to agree on land valuations which has resulted in significant additional costs. 

 

As per the report to Council on 7 December 2021, Administration’s recommended approach is to acquire the remaining POS area and then to proactively work to close the Cell and return all excess funds at that time.  In accordance with the recently gazetted SPP3.6, the remaining POS expenditure is recommended to be prioritised to achieve financial accountability for the remaining costs as soon as possible.

In this regard, the City will continue to work closely with all affected landowners to bring about an accountable closure to all Cells in a timely manner. Administration will be reporting to Council on various operational, monitoring and reporting requirements for DCPs and will be considering options to enable cells to be closed in a timely manner.
