alliance  councelor Lawton  for the

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.680
Illawarrarra academy of sport it is

00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.720
automatically the Mayor for the Illawarra

00:07:57.840 --> 00:07:59.976
bushfire management committee we have

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.000
councelor Larkins for Illawarra district weeds

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:06.599
authority committee  councelor Lawton

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.720
now for the Illawarra Shoalhaven joint

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.759
organization. We have the Mayor and

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.360
council Larkins as the voting delegates and

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:19.656
then we have had three 

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.680
alternates for nomination which is

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.800
councelor Tatrai Warren and Matters. 

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.696
for the Kiama and district sports

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.720
association we have councelor Matters

00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:35.176
for the Kiama liquor accord. We have had

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.200
three nominations. Tatrai Warren and

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.039
Cains.  for the Kiama Public Libraries

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.519
Association and Southeast Zone, we have

00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:49.880
Councelor Larkins with Councelor Tatrai as

00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.255
an alternate. For the South Coast Board,

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.416
we have Councelor Larkins, sorry,

00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.136
Councelor Draisma as the voting

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:01.096
delegate with Councelor Tatrai as an

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.176
alternate. For the southern regional

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.200
planning panel, we have  McDonald and

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.656
Matters as the voting delegates and the

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:11.815
four alternates have been council

00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:14.839
Tatrai, Larkins, Warren and Brown.

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:21.160
So in terms of a conflict or where

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:24.136
there's been multiple nominations,

00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:26.696
 we need one nomination I believe for

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.456
the alternate

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.255
for ? and we currently have

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.656
three. And the Kiama Licquer Accord has

00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:36.680
three nominations for a position of two.

00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:41.896
Oh, and the Australian Coastal Council,

00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:44.920
which is not wasn't on the  original

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.776
circulation, but it's on the agenda

00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:51.800
papers. We have Councelor

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.976
Lawton

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.616
and Tatrai.

00:09:58.640 --> 00:10:01.016
So there's a double we need just one

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:03.656
counselor for that in addition to the

00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:06.680
Mayor and with point two so the

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:10.935
finance and major projects advisory

00:10:10.959 --> 00:10:13.959
committee councilors voted in the

00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:17.336
last council meeting to increase that

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.736
membership by a third council. So I've

00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:22.055
nominated  for that position. So

00:10:22.079 --> 00:10:24.375
that's just been highlighted  to bring

00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.696
that to the attention of all counselors.

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.720
 but currently we just have three

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.255
positions where there's multiple

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.336
nominations. So, I don't know if we

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.656
wanted to go to a vote or if any

00:10:35.680 --> 00:10:38.680
counselors wanted to withdraw.

00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.216
Okay.

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.016
Okay.

00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:45.336
 so we're specifically talking at 

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.016
with regards to Joe

00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:48.776
? at the moment. Yeah. So,

00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:51.416
so if we take out Warren and Matters as

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.440
the alternate, we have councilor Tatrai

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.255
that resolves that. So that resolves

00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.096
that one.

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.656
The Kiama liquor accords

00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:04.680
Tatrai, Warren and Cains.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.480
Okay. So council Warren will withdraw.

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.976
So it's only council Tatrai and Cains. So

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.000
that resolves that. And

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.000
um the other one was

00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:26.055
South Coast Arts Board.

00:11:26.079 --> 00:11:28.375
 no. So that 

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.976
we have a back up there.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.736
Councelor Tatrai agreed to be an

00:11:31.760 --> 00:11:33.495
alternate. I don't believe that has an

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.576
alternate position. I thought we'd

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.255
clarify that with the CEO.

00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:37.736
All right.

00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:40.216
Before proceeding

00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.136
to

00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:43.495
through you, Mr. Mayor. I know that

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.016
particular committee doesn't have an

00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:46.856
alternate.

00:11:46.880 --> 00:11:48.856
So, councelor Tatrai, are you happy to

00:11:48.880 --> 00:11:51.576
withdraw from that or would you like to

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.600
put yourself forward as the

00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:56.296
Oh, no. Yeah, I'll withdraw.

00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:56.616
Okay.

00:11:56.640 --> 00:11:57.096
Okay.

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.536
So, that resolves that. So, it's council

00:11:58.560 --> 00:11:59.976
Draisma there on the

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.616
council Draisma for the  South Coast Arts

00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:04.055
Board.

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:06.776
 the Southern Regional Planel Southern

00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:08.216
Regional Planning Panel has been

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.055
resolved.

00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:12.375
So all positions have been satisfied for

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.336
that. And the Australian Coastal

00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.976
Councils, we've still got two councilors

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.000
for one position, Lawton and Tatrai.

00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:23.576
I will withdraw, but do we have to only

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.896
have one? Can we not have two?

00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:28.920
Australia,

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.495
through the Mayor, that's actually a

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:34.776
question I'd need to ask the

00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:37.096
association. We've never actually been

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.935
in a position where we had an alternate.

00:12:38.959 --> 00:12:41.176
In the previous term of council, the

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.200
Mayor attended um because council holds

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.935
a general membership to the association.

00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:49.096
So there's nothing that prevents two

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.495
counselors from attending their annual

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.216
conference, but there was only ever one

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.240
nominated role on that committee.

00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:01.495
Look, I'm happy to

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.576
whatever. Oh, sorry, councilor  I'm

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.336
happy to withdraw and if I want to

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.176
attend, I'll just attend.

00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:07.976
Okay. So,

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.296
okay,

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.696
Councilor Tatrai, that'll leave you.

00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.656
Okay.

00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:14.136
 and yeah, so the rest um the

00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:16.536
highlight can go.  we've resolved it.

00:13:16.560 --> 00:13:19.336
 all of it, so that's fine.

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.176
Okay. So, you'll move that, Council

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.495
Larkins. Do we have a seconder? Councelor

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.736
Tatrai.

00:13:25.760 --> 00:13:27.495
Okay.

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.656
I'll put the motion then if we're up to

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:32.536
speed there. All those in favour raise

00:13:32.560 --> 00:13:35.560
your hands.

00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:38.680
All those against the motion's carried.

00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.720
So that was item 13.1.

00:13:43.839 --> 00:13:45.656
Now we're on a 14.1 report of the

00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:47.495
director corporate and commercial

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.519
monthly financial report July 2025. You

00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.536
had the recommendation before you. Do I

00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:55.560
have a mover?

00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.856
Council Warren. Do I have a seconder?

00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:03.880
Council Larkins,

00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:05.896
Council Warren, Council Larkins like to

00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:08.296
speak to the motion. No. Okay, I'll put

00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.216
the motion. All those in favour, raise

00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.240
your hands. All those against. The

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.815
motion's carried.

00:14:15.839 --> 00:14:17.976
Now we're at 14.3. Response to questions

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.976
with notice and update during self life

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.815
saving club. You have the recommendation

00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:24.696
before you. Do I have a mover? Councelor

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.720
Brown. Secer, Councelor Tatrai. Councelor

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.399
Brown like to speak to the motion.

00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:35.255
 thank you, Mayor. Just just briefly,

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.976
um this is wonderful news. This is one

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.615
of the best  buildings that we've seen

00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.856
and that council have the proud

00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:45.495
ownership of supporting this amazing

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.216
club down in Jeringong. It is great to

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.615
see not only the club being used by by

00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.935
its members, but members of the public

00:14:52.959 --> 00:14:55.255
as well. Um, so I just want to

00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.016
congratulate the club on the amazing

00:14:57.040 --> 00:14:58.216
work that they've done and of course

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.375
council and council staff for assisting

00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.935
the club get to where where it's been.

00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:04.536
Of course, this club would not have been

00:15:04.560 --> 00:15:06.696
there without significant grant from the

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.096
federal government over $5 million. And

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.536
I think we should always acknowledge the

00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:13.336
work that Farah Phillips  did in

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.360
helping secure that grant again to you

00:15:16.959 --> 00:15:19.495
know this community's latest and 

00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.016
biggest asset.

00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:22.856
Thanks Council Brown. Catch a Tatrai.

00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:25.736
No. Okay. Any further comments? Council

00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:26.456
Lawton.

00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.480
Yep. Thank you, Mayor. Um, given it was

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.136
my question with notice, I just have a

00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:34.216
couple of um questions to have

00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.240
clarified. Um, just in saying when we

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:38.375
list all the documents.

00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.136
Sorry, if you can just  wait a second,

00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:43.160
councelor Lawton.

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.456
Sorry.

00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.296
Okay. Sorry. Please continue.

00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:49.896
I just want to check a couple of things.

00:15:49.920 --> 00:15:51.815
when we list all the documents as we

00:15:51.839 --> 00:15:54.055
have in that response that we actually

00:15:54.079 --> 00:15:57.079
have copies of those not just a a

00:15:57.199 --> 00:15:59.416
wording that says that they have been

00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.440
received um and noted. Um I would also

00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.896
like to understand

00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:07.495
why

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:09.976
we have to wait for the keys to be given

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.696
to us when it is council building new

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:14.296
asset.

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.175
Um, I would also like to check when the

00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:19.576
date is going to be provided for the

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.976
leasing agreement and what status that

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.375
is up to.

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.096
Um, I'd also like to request in number

00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.976
five, I'm not understanding why we are

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.456
not privy to those documents given it's

00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.480
a council asset. Um, and this is on the

00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:38.696
basis of if there's inconsistencies or a

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.375
future claim for anything of that

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.016
building, I believe it's council that

00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:46.040
will have to obviously talk to that um,

00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:48.456
inconsistency.

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.976
So, we should actually have a copy of

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.375
the contracts and financials. I'd also

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.296
like to add we should have a speestos

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:57.320
certification, a section 73 um, water

00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.480
diagram and works as executed drainage.

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.896
Thank you.

00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:06.055
So,

00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.055
thank you.

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.815
You're always very thorough, councelor

00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.216
Lawton. I love it. So, in respect to

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.856
your first question, um council

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.535
maintains all its records in accordance

00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.015
with the records act. So, whenever we

00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.815
receive correspondence, we keep that on

00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.696
file um and archive it accordingly and

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:26.775
store it for the correct amount of time.

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.176
So where the report reflects that, we

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.416
obviously have done that under the local

00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.015
government act. You cannot mislead

00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.176
council in a business paper. So we would

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.200
never do that. In relation to the keys

00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.936
and the lease update when I'm finished

00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.655
answering your other questions, I'll get

00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:46.056
um Joe to give you a bit of an update on

00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:47.895
where negotiations are at with the

00:17:47.919 --> 00:17:50.919
lease. But  in respect to the key and

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.056
that is because the building is built on

00:17:54.080 --> 00:17:56.376
a different key system and ought to be

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.936
on that um master key system. We'll find

00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.936
a resolution to that and we will obtain

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.960
a fob key for it. Um I don't consider

00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.616
that to be a massive issue at this point

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.456
in time. We're working really well

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.136
constructively.

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.160
In respect to item five, , exactly as

00:18:13.840 --> 00:18:16.840
the report says there on page 78, we're

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.336
not the developer of this asset. Council

00:18:19.360 --> 00:18:21.576
was not the applicant of the grant and

00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:24.136
nor are we the developer. So any claim

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.160
for liability, defects, any kind of kind

00:18:27.919 --> 00:18:30.216
of construction arising matter is

00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.136
actually not council's responsibility

00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.976
and we will categorically take that

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.136
approach should anything ever arise

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.976
because it literally had nothing to do

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.000
with us. Um,

00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:43.976
and then in regards to the asbestos

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.376
certification and the section 73, I

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:47.976
think he said, I'll have to take those

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.936
as questions on notice. Um, and I'll ask

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.176
the minute takers to record those as

00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.895
questions on notice and we will come

00:18:55.919 --> 00:18:57.576
back to the next ordinary council

00:18:57.600 --> 00:18:59.576
meeting as we need to do as per the

00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:01.816
comp. Now Joe, can you give an update on

00:19:01.840 --> 00:19:04.840
the lease agreement please? Thank you.

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.376
Yes, through you, Mayor. Um, with

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.535
regarding the lease, the council will

00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.296
remember that I think about six weeks

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:14.775
ago, there was an all parties meeting 

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:16.535
between the club and council

00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.559
representatives and there was quite a

00:19:19.840 --> 00:19:22.840
solid list of actions that each party

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.856
would take. So, we're working through

00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.096
those those items and there's a meeting

00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:28.856
that we're looking to arrange with the

00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.296
surf club to work through any

00:19:30.320 --> 00:19:31.976
outstanding Matters and looking to

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.056
progress  that lease. That's where

00:19:34.080 --> 00:19:37.080
we're at at the moment.

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:42.440
Thank you. Okay. Any further comments,

00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:44.616
queries?

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.296
No. I'll put the motion. All those in

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:48.775
favour, raise your hands. All those

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.496
against. The motions carried.

00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:54.520
Okay. We are at item 15.1, amendment to

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.200
motion LGNSW 2025 annual conference on

00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.816
rock fishing safety. Now please note

00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:03.655
that a misprint was identified in the

00:20:03.679 --> 00:20:06.535
agenda regarding recommendation one. The

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:08.456
recommendation contain contained a

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.535
typographical error where the word may

00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.696
should be replaced with the word way.

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:14.296
This correction will be reflected in the

00:20:14.320 --> 00:20:16.136
minutes. So you do have the

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.736
recommendation before you.

00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:19.496
Councelor DMA had

00:20:19.520 --> 00:20:22.376
ah great councelor Draisma.

00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:23.176
Happy to move.

00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.256
Happy to move. Councelor Larkins

00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:26.696
seconding. Councelor Drez would you like

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.535
to speak to the motion? Yeah, just

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:30.616
briefly, , thank thanks to the staff

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.015
for, um, for fleshing out the motion

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.496
further and articulating, I guess,

00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:37.416
broader concerns about councils in

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.056
implementation of, , the act as it

00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:42.616
currently stands. And, , hopefully we

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.936
see some um, positive , impact from

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:46.535
the result of this motion being moved

00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:49.416
and successfully adopted by LGSW later

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:51.336
in the year.

00:20:51.360 --> 00:20:54.056
Thanks, Councelor DMA. Council Larkins, no.

00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:56.135
Any further comments or queries? No.

00:20:56.159 --> 00:20:58.535
I'll put the motion. All those in favour,

00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.216
raise your hands. All those against, the

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.240
motions carried. So, we're at item 15.2,

00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:06.535

00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.416

744809

00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.640
154 Shall Haven Street, Cayama. You have

00:21:22.159 --> 00:21:23.655
the recommendation before you do to have

00:21:23.679 --> 00:21:25.416
a mover. Councelor Brown seconded.

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.256
Councelor Tetray. Councelor Brown like

00:21:27.280 --> 00:21:28.616

Tetray. Councelor Lawton.

00:21:31.679 --> 00:21:33.416
Yeah, thank you through you, Mayor. I

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.440
would just like to say um to the to the

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:38.936
applicant, thank you for the revision

00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:40.616
and working with the neighboring

00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.775
properties. I think it's a great outcome

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.799
to see how if we can work and talk then

00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:47.736
we can actually find a great resolution.

00:21:47.760 --> 00:21:49.895
So, thank you.

00:21:49.919 --> 00:21:52.376
Thanks, Council Lawton.

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.775
No further comments. Okay, I'll put the

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.416
motion. Um, all those in favour, raise

00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.736

All those against the motion's carried.

00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.880
Okay, we're at item 15.3,

00:22:16.159 --> 00:22:18.056
determination of development application

00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:21.080
number 10, 2025 104.1, lot 261, DP

00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.096
806312,

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:28.120
173 Mount Brandon Road, Gerrera. Please

00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:29.976
note that a misprint was identified in

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:31.496
the agenda regarding the development

00:22:31.520 --> 00:22:33.416
application number for this item. The

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.176
incorrect number listed in the

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.200
recommendation was DA10 2022186.1.

00:22:39.760 --> 00:22:42.135
The correct DA number is DA 10.20220

00:22:42.159 --> 00:22:44.936
2025 104.1

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:47.496
pan 549470.

00:22:47.520 --> 00:22:49.096
This correction will be reflected in the

00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:51.336
minutes. You have the recommendation

00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:54.216
before you. Anyone?

00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:55.496
Councelor Kes.

00:22:55.520 --> 00:22:57.816
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd like to um I'd

00:22:57.840 --> 00:23:00.840
like to move a motion and I think that

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.960
 that was previously sent through

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:07.256
entitled an alternate motion. Although

00:23:07.280 --> 00:23:09.655
we're not presenting it as an alternate

00:23:09.679 --> 00:23:11.496
motion. We're just presenting it as the

00:23:11.520 --> 00:23:14.520
motion. Are we able to have that

00:23:15.120 --> 00:23:18.120
on the screen?

00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.895
So, I'm just going to get some advice on

00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:26.696
that because essentially um I think it

00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.416
is

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.416
the exact negative of of the motion

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.440
that's before us. So, can I

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.960
just defer to the CO on that matter?

00:23:41.600 --> 00:23:44.456
I mean there isn't an original motion

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:46.775
that's been put yet. I am putting the

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:48.135
motion

00:23:48.159 --> 00:23:50.376
and I seek a seconder for it.

00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:51.895
Right.

00:23:51.919 --> 00:23:53.496
Okay.

00:23:53.520 --> 00:23:56.520
So, councelor Kanes has

00:23:57.919 --> 00:23:59.256
councelor Kanees has moved the motion.

00:23:59.280 --> 00:24:00.936
Councelor Tatrai seconded the motion.

00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:02.376
Councelor Kanes like to speak to the

00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:03.976
motion.

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.936
 thank you Mr. Mayor.

00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.960
Um, look, I

00:24:10.080 --> 00:24:13.080
I rise to talk about and to encourage us

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.535
all to think about approving this

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.559
motion. Um, , sorry to to pass the

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:22.376
motion to approve the development

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.936
application.

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.015
I think it would be a most regrettable

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.576
scenario if we ended up in a position

00:24:29.600 --> 00:24:32.600
where our policy position was to  was

00:24:33.760 --> 00:24:36.760
to not approve this perfectly reasonable

00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:38.696
application.

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:41.176
The lot was legally created with the

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.176
express purpose of housing. Let's not

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.135
forget it exists for that particular

00:24:46.159 --> 00:24:49.096
reason. So to now turn around and tell

00:24:49.120 --> 00:24:50.936
the applicant that they cannot build a

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.960
home there is not only unreasonable but

00:24:54.159 --> 00:24:57.159
it's unfair and it's inconsistent and

00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.200
it's indefensible in my view. Yes, under

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:03.255
the strict letter of the LEP

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.135
the lot falls below the minimum lot size

00:25:06.159 --> 00:25:07.736
but the land and environment court has

00:25:07.760 --> 00:25:10.135
been crystal clear on this point. For

00:25:10.159 --> 00:25:11.816
instance in the sharp verse council

00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:13.336
matter the court found that there were

00:25:13.360 --> 00:25:16.360
valid grounds to use 4.6 seeks to vary.

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:19.015
Um

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.039
the court has found and this is critical

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:24.296
that such proposals don't impact

00:25:24.320 --> 00:25:25.976
existing agricultural

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.816
we'll stick to the the motion before us.

00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:28.216
Thanks.

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:30.376
Sure.

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.400
What we'll see is that if the proposal

00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:35.816
doesn't  impact on existing

00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:38.840
agricultural use, if the proposed

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.576
dwelling doesn't conflict with adjoining

00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:44.600
properties, if there's no realistic

00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:47.015
option of amalgamation with existing

00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.976
viable agricultural enterprises,

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.376
and importantly, if the proposal could

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.936
not in any way be described as unplanned

00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:57.576
rural residential development,

00:25:57.600 --> 00:25:59.336
then we find ourselves in a position

00:25:59.360 --> 00:26:01.015
where it's consistent with the

00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.736
objectives of the LEP.

00:26:03.760 --> 00:26:05.895
I mean, it's exactly the situation that

00:26:05.919 --> 00:26:08.775
4.6 was designed for and designed to

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.416
deal with. If there are genuine reasons

00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.056
why development cannot be built safely,

00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:15.655
whether it's because of bushfire hazards

00:26:15.679 --> 00:26:18.679
or water treatment, then they should be

00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:20.775
those should be assessed under the act.

00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.496
It shouldn't be assessed under

00:26:23.520 --> 00:26:26.056
 under the proper it should be

00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:27.816
assessed under the proper framework for

00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:30.840
refusal.

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.880
To deny this application simply because

00:26:34.080 --> 00:26:36.535
a sunset clause was used to remove the

00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:39.559
property rights is hollow and unjust

00:26:39.760 --> 00:26:42.216
grounds.

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:44.056
What purpose did the removal of those

00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:47.080
entitlements serve? Was it incentive?

00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:50.376
Was it punishment? Was it simple

00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:52.616
bureaucratic maliciousness?

00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:54.376
I don't know. But we find ourselves

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:56.856
where the applicant has what they

00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.880
describe as a sterilized property.

00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.416
The reality is that is that apart from a

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.296
handful of farms on the valley floor,

00:27:06.320 --> 00:27:09.320
there are very few prime agricultural

00:27:10.159 --> 00:27:13.159
lots of land in our LGA. And we must we

00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:16.775
must be able to think a little bit more

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:19.799
deeply about what our agricultural land

00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.976
what is agricultural land. What could

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.775
these concessional lots be used for?

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.799
What is morally and ethically correct

00:27:30.080 --> 00:27:32.456
for us as a council? What what sort of

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.480
pathway is is

00:27:35.520 --> 00:27:38.520
gives us a moral obligation to fulfill?

00:27:39.760 --> 00:27:41.816
I mean let's be let's be clear. the

00:27:41.840 --> 00:27:44.135
choice before us.

00:27:44.159 --> 00:27:45.895
If the intention for the concessional

00:27:45.919 --> 00:27:48.056
lots to be resumed as bush, for

00:27:48.080 --> 00:27:50.616
instance, or to sit idle, maybe as fire

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:52.056
hazards, then we should be clear about

00:27:52.080 --> 00:27:55.015
it. If we don't ever want housing to be

00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.496
on these plots of land, then let's state

00:27:57.520 --> 00:28:00.135
it. But essentially, it's a potential

00:28:00.159 --> 00:28:03.159
source of diverse housing in our LGA and

00:28:03.360 --> 00:28:05.816
it's a source of an uplift to our

00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:08.840
rateayer base. Refusing this DA doesn't

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:11.816
protect farmland. It doesn't achieve a

00:28:11.840 --> 00:28:14.840
planning objective. It sterilizes the

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.496
land, strips residents of an expensive

00:28:17.520 --> 00:28:19.655
and unwinable

00:28:19.679 --> 00:28:21.496
 it puts us in a position where we've

00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:24.520
got an expensive and un unwininnable

00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:26.216
collision course with the land

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.456
environment court. We're not here to

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:31.480
punish applicants for bad timing. We're

00:28:32.080 --> 00:28:34.856
not here to hide behind arbitrary

00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.416
technicalities. We're here to apply with

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:39.496
fairness and consistency and common

00:28:39.520 --> 00:28:41.096
sense.

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:44.120
If we refuse this DA tonight, then we'll

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.496
be seen as a council that elevates rigid

00:28:47.520 --> 00:28:50.520
technicalities over just outcomes,

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:53.816
that waste community resources and

00:28:53.840 --> 00:28:56.216
strips citizens of reasonable use of

00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.176
their land. And I say again that this

00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.200
would be a regrettable, in my opinion,

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.535
some would find it a disgraceful

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:07.176
position for this council to take. The

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:09.576
court has already told us in other in in

00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:12.600
other Matters that this is what clause

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.880
4.6 should be used for. I am winding up.

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.960
Let us not walk blindly into a legal and

00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.240
moral dead end. Instead,

00:29:23.760 --> 00:29:25.576
let's do what is just.

00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:26.216
Okay.

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.696
What is fair and what is right and

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.015
support the application. Now, councelor

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:33.176
Kes withdraw any inference that there

00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:35.496
was maliciousness on based on this 

00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:37.096
determination by council staff or

00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:40.120
unfairness.

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:43.240
I made no such inference.

00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:46.279
I think so the words that you said

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.176
I didn't say council staff. I didn't I

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:50.216
didn't

00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:51.895
Okay.

00:29:51.919 --> 00:29:54.919
big. In fact, in fact, my my specific

00:29:55.520 --> 00:29:58.520
implication is that um is that a lot of

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.416
the  a lot of the decisions around how

00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:04.440
the leap were applied were perhaps done

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.135
by a wider group than council staff. I'd

00:30:08.159 --> 00:30:11.159
made no I made I wouldn't I was not very

00:30:11.520 --> 00:30:13.895
specific in outlining that that was

00:30:13.919 --> 00:30:15.576
maliciousness by council staff.

00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:18.600
Okay, accepted.

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.775
Okay. , councelor Tatrai, would you

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:23.799
like to speak to the motion?

00:30:26.399 --> 00:30:29.399
Thanks, Mayor. Um,

00:30:29.520 --> 00:30:32.520
I agree with councelor Kanes and he's

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.736
right. We have two choices. We say no

00:30:35.760 --> 00:30:38.760
and we leave a sterilized block of land

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.176
or we say yes and we allow this people

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:43.576
to build a home.

00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:45.576
It makes no sense to just leave an empty

00:30:45.600 --> 00:30:48.296
block of land.

00:30:48.320 --> 00:30:50.296
None at all.

00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:52.056
I I' I'd wonder what they would do with

00:30:52.080 --> 00:30:53.816
it. They've paid for the land. Yes, they

00:30:53.840 --> 00:30:56.375
missed the sunset clause.

00:30:56.399 --> 00:30:59.015
But isn't it up to us to start cutting

00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:01.015
red tape and start looking towards

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:02.696
helping people? We say we want homes.

00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:04.456
They want to build one and we're

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.216
debating it.

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:07.736
Thank you.

00:31:07.760 --> 00:31:09.255
Thanks, Councelor Tatrai. We got

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.856
councelor

00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.655
Councelor Draisma. Councelor Dma, if

00:31:13.679 --> 00:31:15.736
you're happy to wait. Councelor Brown.

00:31:15.760 --> 00:31:17.655
Thanks, Mr. Mayor. I would just like to

00:31:17.679 --> 00:31:20.456
foreshadow that should this motion fail

00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.456
 that I I wouldn't want to foreshadow

00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.255
our motion, the original motion.

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.416
Thanks, Councelor Drezel.

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:29.336
Councelor Brown.

00:31:29.360 --> 00:31:31.816
 thank you, Mayor.  firstly, I'd

00:31:31.840 --> 00:31:34.456
just like to say that I actually don't

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:36.696
disagree with a word  of councelor

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:38.616
Kanes. In fact, I think it's a very

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.176
cogent argument he has put forward to

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.200
this council chamber and I have

00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:47.895
oscillated back and forth between my

00:31:47.919 --> 00:31:49.895
decision on this over the last number of

00:31:49.919 --> 00:31:51.895
days. And one of the reasons is that

00:31:51.919 --> 00:31:54.296
councelor Kanes keeps putting forward 

00:31:54.320 --> 00:31:57.320
very compelling and cogent reasons why

00:31:57.360 --> 00:32:00.360
we should  support his motion. But Mr.

00:32:01.679 --> 00:32:04.375
I can't support this motion simply

00:32:04.399 --> 00:32:07.399
because it's against our LEP. Our LEP is

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:10.856
the main law that we all have to abide

00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:13.880
by. Now, I disagree with councelor 

00:32:15.600 --> 00:32:18.600
Tatrai saying we can do this or we can

00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.799
do that. I'd like to see if we can do a

00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:24.696
third way. I'd like to see a way we can

00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:27.720
amend our LEP so that 

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.039
this applicant can legally put forward

00:32:33.679 --> 00:32:36.679
an application to this council where our

00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.416
LEP will support

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.135
 such such a building. There have been

00:32:42.159 --> 00:32:44.696
number of times, Mr. Mayor, where I've

00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.936
had to vote against where I want to on

00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.960
these  leap Matters. , one of them

00:32:50.159 --> 00:32:53.159
was Golden Valley out in Jambaroo. I had

00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:55.096
some serious concerns about that

00:32:55.120 --> 00:32:57.655
particular development, but because the

00:32:57.679 --> 00:33:00.296
leap said it was a compliant

00:33:00.320 --> 00:33:02.856
development, I felt obliged as a

00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:04.456
counselor

00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.336
to vote in favour of it. Similarly,

00:33:07.360 --> 00:33:09.176
tonight

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.135
it is very clear what the LEP has said

00:33:12.159 --> 00:33:15.159
and that LEP came about because of state

00:33:15.919 --> 00:33:18.775
government planning policies that were

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.336
put right across New South Wales, not

00:33:21.360 --> 00:33:23.816
just Cayama, right across New South

00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:26.535
Wales. And they set up this arbitrary

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:29.015
crazy sunset clause, which I totally

00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:31.416
disagree with. So, if I was to look at

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:33.495
this objectively, yes, of course, I'll

00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:35.976
throw my support behind it. But as a

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.296
counselor here, one of my main jobs is

00:33:38.320 --> 00:33:41.320
to actually uphold our own LEP and when

00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:43.736
we find faults with it, look at ways of

00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:45.495
changing it. So that's what I would like

00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:48.375
to do, Mr. Mayor. not support councelor

00:33:48.399 --> 00:33:51.176
Kanes's motion tonight but support it

00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.200
totally in principle and we as a

00:33:54.399 --> 00:33:56.535
governing body work out a way where we

00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:59.559
can amend our leap and get a number of

00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:03.480
these lots to a position where

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:06.775
applicants can put forward their

00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.016
development application and whereas a

00:34:09.040 --> 00:34:11.016
council can consider it on the merits

00:34:11.040 --> 00:34:12.855
according to the planning document which

00:34:12.879 --> 00:34:15.496
we are meant to  uphold. So with a

00:34:15.520 --> 00:34:16.936
heavy heart Mr. me. I will not be

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.655
supporting  Councelor Kane's motion

00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:21.976
even though he has been extremely

00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.000
persuasive.  but I do think there is a

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:27.416
third way and I'd like us to explore

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:29.815
that  in the very near future because

00:34:29.839 --> 00:34:32.375
I do think it's crazy having these

00:34:32.399 --> 00:34:34.055
sterilized blocks of land that are no

00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:36.936
good for anything else other than 

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.960
housing people.  so  that's how I'll

00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:41.895
be voting tonight.

00:34:41.919 --> 00:34:44.536
Thanks, Councelor Brown. Councelor

00:34:44.560 --> 00:34:46.135
Larkins.

00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:48.776
 yeah, mine was actually just a

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.776
question through to the director.

00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:52.855
Obviously, we've heard  conversations

00:34:52.879 --> 00:34:55.815
about the leap um and the principle for

00:34:55.839 --> 00:34:58.536
why this is why the staff had assessed

00:34:58.560 --> 00:35:01.560
it for um refusal. I just wanted to get

00:35:01.680 --> 00:35:04.680
some brief um information about also the

00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.976
bushfire risk um that has been

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:09.496
referenced in the report. It was

00:35:09.520 --> 00:35:11.815
referenced at public access last night

00:35:11.839 --> 00:35:14.376
cuz my understanding is it's not just

00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:16.216
being refused based on the leap but

00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:17.976
there was some other um issues

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.736
associated. Could I just get some um

00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.760
brief information on that please?

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:25.656
Director through the CEO

00:35:25.680 --> 00:35:26.776
through Mayor. Thank you for the

00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.656
question. Yes, there is some

00:35:29.680 --> 00:35:31.256
if you like discrepancy between the

00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:32.696
submitted plans and the submitted

00:35:32.720 --> 00:35:35.176
bushfire assessment report. So the

00:35:35.200 --> 00:35:38.200
bushfire report has identified this site

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:41.320
as being a bal 29 um for the purposes of

00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:44.055
planning for bushfire protection and

00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:45.736
there are some requirements around

00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.976
turning circles on the site for

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:50.616
firefighting vehicles as well as easy

00:35:50.640 --> 00:35:52.856
access to the required 20,000 L

00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.575
rainwater tanks. Um you will see in your

00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:57.656
enclosures that there is no turning

00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:00.456
circle on the pardon me on the plans at

00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.016
present nor  the rainwater tanks are

00:36:03.040 --> 00:36:04.616
really on the other side of the building

00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:07.640
as well. So it might be pardon me going

00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.055
through a bit of a cult.  it might be

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:12.055
difficult for the tankers to gain access

00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:15.079
to those rainwater tanks.

00:36:16.560 --> 00:36:18.296
Councelor Warren.

00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:21.320
Thank you Mayor. Um,

00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:24.920
I'd like to speak um for councelor

00:36:25.040 --> 00:36:28.040
Kane's motion um regarding the allotment

00:36:28.720 --> 00:36:31.720
and noting no application for erection

00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:34.856
of a dwelling house was made within 5

00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.880
years of the commencement of the plan

00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:40.936
being the 16th of December

00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:43.095
2016 and therefore the land does not

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.656
benefit from a dwelling entitlement. The

00:36:45.680 --> 00:36:47.976
extinguishment of any dwelling

00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:50.216
entitlement under sub clause 4 is the

00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:53.240
planned development outcome. I ask you

00:36:53.359 --> 00:36:55.976
to consider that at public access last

00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.536
night the owner was not in a position to

00:36:58.560 --> 00:37:01.560
build within that 5-year time frame.

00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:07.480
And when buying land regardless of this

00:37:07.839 --> 00:37:10.616
clause,

00:37:10.640 --> 00:37:12.136
should we really be telling somebody

00:37:12.160 --> 00:37:14.696
when they can and can't build? There are

00:37:14.720 --> 00:37:17.720
many blocks of similar size to this one

00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:20.456
all through the Mount Brandon Road area.

00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.696
So, is it unreasonable for us to deny

00:37:22.720 --> 00:37:25.720
this DA approval based on this clause?

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:29.400
I personally don't think so.

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.896
In considering my support for this DA,

00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:33.496
we need to be reasonable in our

00:37:33.520 --> 00:37:35.575
decision-making and consider the

00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.599
objectives of the LAP along with council

00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:40.936
staff providing an option in the

00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:43.176
business papers to approve this DA with

00:37:43.200 --> 00:37:45.976
conditions of consent. This is a piece

00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:47.815
of land that is no longer suitable for

00:37:47.839 --> 00:37:50.456
agricultural use and in the past was

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:53.480
earmarked as a lifestyle block and there

00:37:54.240 --> 00:37:56.456
are multiple blocks

00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:58.616
of this size with residential housing

00:37:58.640 --> 00:38:01.416
already on Mount Brandon Road.

00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.896
It's not ad hoc development. It was

00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:06.136
always earmarked as for residential

00:38:06.160 --> 00:38:09.160
buildings. to the director. How many

00:38:09.200 --> 00:38:12.200
lots like this and of this size are

00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.256
still within our LGA?

00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:16.936
As discussed last night with the

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:19.896
director, we will we will be putting our

00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.376
rural land strategy and changes to our

00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:25.400
LAP from 2026 and this would be

00:38:25.520 --> 00:38:28.520
finalized I believe in around mid 27.

00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.376
Consider this. And now consider that if

00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:35.256
you owned a block of land

00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:38.280
of similar size in rural Cayama and

00:38:39.040 --> 00:38:41.095
you've been thinking about starting a DA

00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:43.416
and building process, by the time you

00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:45.896
have the land surveyed, all the plans

00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:48.696
drawn up and you you go through the DA

00:38:48.720 --> 00:38:51.016
process, I think it would be reasonable

00:38:51.040 --> 00:38:53.256
to think that this process might take 12

00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:55.256
to 18 months.

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.256
So given this time frame in relation to

00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.280
the rural land strategy and LAP changes,

00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:03.256
we are close to similar timelines.

00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:06.280
So for those of you who think approving

00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.480
this DA might create an influx of DAS

00:39:09.680 --> 00:39:12.680
such as this, it's probably unlikely. I

00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:14.936
think land owners would take this into

00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:16.856
account and and wait for the changes

00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:19.880
that that we would put forward. Also to

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.696
the director, with the bushfire rating

00:39:22.720 --> 00:39:24.776
of this piece of land, do the other

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:27.335
homes on Mount Brandon Road sit in the

00:39:27.359 --> 00:39:30.359
same fire rating as as this application?

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:34.856
Susan Edwards stated public access that

00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.176
that the owner feels confident in

00:39:37.200 --> 00:39:40.200
satisfying conditions of consent.

00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.335
Given the risk of a likely LEC challenge

00:39:43.359 --> 00:39:46.359
of refusal and subsequent costs, is

00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.095
there merit in talking to the applicant

00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.176
to ensure that the conditions of consent

00:39:51.200 --> 00:39:53.736
can be met? And would the risks

00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:55.896
associated with this DA be mitigated

00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:57.736
through the conditions of consent listed

00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:00.376
on pages 251

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:03.400
to 262 of the enclosures document?

00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:06.696
Or any additional conditions that may be

00:40:06.720 --> 00:40:09.335
required? Could the director provide a

00:40:09.359 --> 00:40:11.416
rough estimate of legal costs we could

00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:14.440
possibly incur um based on past

00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.480
experience should this um application go

00:40:18.160 --> 00:40:20.296
further?

00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.776
Council looked at rural land locations

00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.536
during the development of the housing

00:40:24.560 --> 00:40:26.776
strategy. Could these lots have been

00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:29.416
included in the housing strategy and

00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.440
included in our housing numbers?

00:40:33.200 --> 00:40:36.200
Clause 4.63 63 LEP 2011 permits

00:40:37.839 --> 00:40:40.839
variation where a compliance with the

00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:44.296
standard is unreasonable or unnecessary

00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.296
in the circumstances

00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:48.456
and there are sufficient environmental

00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:51.480
planning grounds to justify justify the

00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:53.496
contravention.

00:40:53.520 --> 00:40:56.376
An argument could be made that pre that

00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:58.376
previous decision which led to the

00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:01.400
creation of the undersized lot allowed

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.440
fragmentation to occur in which

00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:08.440
turn which in turn led to the sterile

00:41:08.560 --> 00:41:11.560
parcel of agricultural land. This meets

00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:14.696
the requirements of 4.63

00:41:14.720 --> 00:41:16.936
as the objectives of the zone are now

00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:19.176
unachievable.

00:41:19.200 --> 00:41:21.176
I'm of view that if not approved

00:41:21.200 --> 00:41:23.656
ultimately this is another litigation

00:41:23.680 --> 00:41:25.575
loss for council and I don't think we

00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:28.216
can go down that route route. The

00:41:28.240 --> 00:41:31.240
insertion of clause 4.63 in the leap

00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:33.815
recognizes that strict application of

00:41:33.839 --> 00:41:36.839
standards can produce unfair or absurd

00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:38.295
results.

00:41:38.319 --> 00:41:39.496
Thanks Council Warren.

00:41:39.520 --> 00:41:42.520
I will I have one more question I

00:41:43.040 --> 00:41:43.815
believe.

00:41:43.839 --> 00:41:45.016
One more question.

00:41:45.040 --> 00:41:48.040
Yeah. and then we'll  refer to the CEO

00:41:48.160 --> 00:41:49.896
and the director to answer those

00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:50.616
questions.

00:41:50.640 --> 00:41:52.936
Can I just finish the paragraph that

00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:55.095
goes with it because it won't make sense

00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:57.016
otherwise.

00:41:57.040 --> 00:41:59.896
Um straight to the question.

00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:02.920
Okay. It's in relation to clause 4.63

00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:07.000
um and the results. The lot was legally

00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.280
created by council. Um as previously

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:13.176
stated, it's no. Would the denying the

00:42:13.200 --> 00:42:16.200
application deny a potential an a

00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:20.760
potential reasonable use? If so, isn't

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:24.440
this a contravention of S 4.151C

00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:29.256
of the EPNA act in public interest,

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:31.256
which requires decision makers under

00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:33.016
S3.1C

00:42:33.040 --> 00:42:35.016
to promote orderly and economic use of

00:42:35.040 --> 00:42:36.055
the land.

00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:38.055
Thanks, Council Warren. Do you want to

00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:41.079
take that? Coun  CEO.

00:42:41.200 --> 00:42:42.696
I'm happy for the director.

00:42:42.720 --> 00:42:45.095
I'm sure you are.

00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:48.119
Yeah,

00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:53.815
I've got that as one of the questions.

00:42:53.839 --> 00:42:54.856
Captured all of your questions.

00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:57.656
We're just confirming the questions.

00:42:57.680 --> 00:43:00.680
Well, there were more than three

00:43:01.040 --> 00:43:03.335
and some of them were double bungers. 

00:43:03.359 --> 00:43:04.696
through through you, Mayor, and thank

00:43:04.720 --> 00:43:06.936
you for the questions.  if I

00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:08.295
understand correctly, your first

00:43:08.319 --> 00:43:10.456
question was in regards to how many lots

00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:13.335
parcels are there um throughout the

00:43:13.359 --> 00:43:14.856
municipality

00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.016
of a similar size or less than the

00:43:17.040 --> 00:43:19.335
minimum lot size. We've run the numbers

00:43:19.359 --> 00:43:21.896
today. So that the analysis has been

00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:24.696
undertaken of how many RU1 primary

00:43:24.720 --> 00:43:27.720
production, RU2 rural landscape, 3C um

00:43:28.160 --> 00:43:29.815
environmental

00:43:29.839 --> 00:43:32.055
living I think it is. Lost my memory for

00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:33.575
a second there. that are less than the

00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:36.599
minimum lot size but greater than this

00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:39.095
size lot 4,000 square meters and there

00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:42.055
are a total of 165 lots that are within

00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:44.136
that category. The reason why we haven't

00:43:44.160 --> 00:43:45.736
narrowed down to how many are there that

00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:48.760
are 4,000 lots is um you know a decision

00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:51.416
is made here of 4,000 that sort of in

00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:54.055
essence sense a new benchmark through a

00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:57.079
decision-m process. You then asked

00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:59.256
particularly of the small lots within

00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.416
that Mount Brandon road, how many of

00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:03.095
them would have similar bow

00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:05.176
requirements. I can't give you that

00:44:05.200 --> 00:44:07.976
answer today. How bowel assessments are

00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:11.000
made  both on the vegetation within

00:44:11.040 --> 00:44:13.335
close proximity to the house, the

00:44:13.359 --> 00:44:15.095
positioning of that vegetation from the

00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:18.119
house, northeast, southwest, and the

00:44:18.560 --> 00:44:20.376
slope associated with it. So the steeper

00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:22.456
the slope, the more heavily vegetated,

00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:24.456
the higher the bow. Um and we get

00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:26.055
westerly wind. So if they come from the

00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:27.656
west, so it's it's very different

00:44:27.680 --> 00:44:29.496
depending on where you sit on the ridge

00:44:29.520 --> 00:44:31.815
line um and the slopes around you. So I

00:44:31.839 --> 00:44:33.416
can't give you a direct answer, but it

00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:35.896
would change all over the place.  you

00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:38.376
then asked given that council have

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.295
provided staff have provided conditions

00:44:40.319 --> 00:44:43.016
of consent. Is there a way forward here?

00:44:43.040 --> 00:44:45.095
When we provide you with any

00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:47.095
recommendation refusal, we always know

00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:48.936
that there's an opportunity for councils

00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:51.960
to counter that recommendation with a

00:44:52.160 --> 00:44:54.055
recommendation for an approval and we

00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:55.335
always give you the stock standard

00:44:55.359 --> 00:44:57.016
conditions of consent so that you have

00:44:57.040 --> 00:44:59.016
something to issue by a notice of

00:44:59.040 --> 00:45:00.456
determination. Otherwise, we just have

00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:01.896
to come back to you next month and say

00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:03.176
yes, you approved it, but you didn't

00:45:03.200 --> 00:45:05.736
give any conditions. So, here we go. 

00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.376
we do have concerns as I mentioned in my

00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:11.256
response to council Larkins that in order

00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:13.176
to comply with the conditions of consent

00:45:13.200 --> 00:45:15.335
which say you must comply with the

00:45:15.359 --> 00:45:17.575
planning for bushfire report design

00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:19.256
changes would need to be made to the

00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:21.575
plans that are submitted. So that I

00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:24.599
suppose answers your question there. Um

00:45:24.640 --> 00:45:27.256
you then asked around costs associated

00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:29.095
with land environment court challenges.

00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:30.616
I can't give you an answer to that again

00:45:30.640 --> 00:45:33.095
because every case is different. um a

00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:34.696
case that runs all the way through to a

00:45:34.720 --> 00:45:36.776
full hearing costs us more than a case

00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:39.496
that we settled in mediation. It also

00:45:39.520 --> 00:45:41.815
depends on experts required, what the

00:45:41.839 --> 00:45:44.295
contentions filed by both parties. So,

00:45:44.319 --> 00:45:46.295
it's it's a range of Matters. If it's a

00:45:46.319 --> 00:45:48.456
straightforward point of law, you only

00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:49.976
engage solicitors. If there's

00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.216
environmental and planning and urban

00:45:52.240 --> 00:45:53.736
design and traffic, you have to engage

00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:55.736
more consultants. So, I I couldn't give

00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:58.616
you a cost on that. But as in response

00:45:58.640 --> 00:45:59.976
to that question I think I provided

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.136
yesterday that as assessing officers we

00:46:02.160 --> 00:46:04.616
never take that point into consideration

00:46:04.640 --> 00:46:06.616
when we're assessing DAS we just assess

00:46:06.640 --> 00:46:08.616
them against the requirements of the

00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:10.696
LEAP and the DCP and the other various

00:46:10.720 --> 00:46:12.456
statutes including the objectives of the

00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:14.456
act and the various steps that may

00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:17.480
apply.  you then asked why weren't

00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:19.575
these rural lots included in

00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:21.095
consideration of our local housing

00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:23.416
strategy? The local housing strategy is

00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:26.440
focused on urban housing outcomes rather

00:46:26.720 --> 00:46:29.720
than rural housing outcomes. So you will

00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.055
recall that the housing strategy focuses

00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:33.575
on opportunities for housing

00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:35.575
diversification in our existing towns

00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:38.216
and villages as well as urban expansion

00:46:38.240 --> 00:46:41.240
growth in our in our URAs. So it no it

00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:44.280
hasn't given consideration to that. You

00:46:44.319 --> 00:46:46.055
made a comment in that question around

00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:48.295
targets. The way the state government

00:46:48.319 --> 00:46:50.536
have calculated targets is purely based

00:46:50.560 --> 00:46:53.095
on the capacity of our infill system,

00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:55.815
not on rural and and those components

00:46:55.839 --> 00:46:57.095
because they're just saying of your

00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:59.335
existing zoned urban land, how many

00:46:59.359 --> 00:47:00.776
dwellings could you get now? So, no,

00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:03.575
these sites don't form part of that. And

00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:05.656
I think if I'm correct in saying your

00:47:05.680 --> 00:47:07.736
last and final question was in relation

00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:10.760
to clause 4.6 six sub clause three that

00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:14.856
makes reference to unreasonable

00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:16.776
um if the standard is unreasonable or

00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:18.696
unnecessary and if there are sufficient

00:47:18.720 --> 00:47:21.416
environmental planning grounds. So the

00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:23.176
word wording of that clause is that's

00:47:23.200 --> 00:47:25.815
the requirement um that we have to go

00:47:25.839 --> 00:47:27.256
through in the assessment and that is

00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:29.176
included quite thoroughly in the

00:47:29.200 --> 00:47:30.776
enclosure documents to you. We've

00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:33.016
provided you with the full 4.15

00:47:33.040 --> 00:47:35.256
assessment and I don't think I need to

00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:37.896
rehash ground. It's, you know, you will

00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:39.335
see it's quite a lengthy document here

00:47:39.359 --> 00:47:40.936
because we get the applicant's request

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:43.496
of why they recommend or suggest it's

00:47:43.520 --> 00:47:45.095
unreasonable or unnecessary and what the

00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:47.176
environmental grounds and we've in this

00:47:47.200 --> 00:47:49.496
case disagreed with them um for the

00:47:49.520 --> 00:47:50.776
points that have been mentioned before

00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.656
in that yes, it's a significant

00:47:53.680 --> 00:47:55.496
variation to the current minimum lot

00:47:55.520 --> 00:47:58.136
size. Um the intent as we understand of

00:47:58.160 --> 00:48:00.856
the leap was to say beyond that 2016

00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:03.880
period, no more rural lots,  rural

00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:06.616
residential lots. Um that's the writing

00:48:06.640 --> 00:48:08.055
in the in the statute and that's the

00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:10.376
position that we have taken. And then I

00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:11.736
suppose to add to that we have said

00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:13.335
there are issues around non-compliance

00:48:13.359 --> 00:48:15.256
with bushfire and as you heard the

00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:17.176
public access speaker there are some

00:48:17.200 --> 00:48:19.256
storm water conflicts with one of the

00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:21.575
secondary absorption trenches that may

00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:23.095
need to be addressed. So at the current

00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:24.776
design there are other environmental

00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:27.800
issues at play and I think that was all

00:48:28.240 --> 00:48:30.295
of your questions.

00:48:30.319 --> 00:48:31.416
Thank you.

00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:34.440
Are we right to go to councelor Draisma?

00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:37.176
Councelor Dma.

00:48:37.200 --> 00:48:39.815
Yeah, thanks Mr. Mayor. Look, um I

00:48:39.839 --> 00:48:42.696
appreciate um the high level

00:48:42.720 --> 00:48:45.176
consideration that my fellow councils

00:48:45.200 --> 00:48:47.176
have given to this particular matter. I

00:48:47.200 --> 00:48:50.200
just like to say that I can't support um

00:48:50.319 --> 00:48:53.016
councelor Kane's motion. Although 

00:48:53.040 --> 00:48:55.416
some of the arguments that he raises are

00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:58.440
um very relevant to understanding and

00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:01.480
the implementation more broadly of LEAP,

00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:03.815
I think  the well the plans that have

00:49:03.839 --> 00:49:05.976
been presented um by the applicant are

00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:07.976
well thought out for the challenges of

00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.616
the block. Um although the consideration

00:49:10.640 --> 00:49:13.496
of non-compliance um with bushfire

00:49:13.520 --> 00:49:15.256
requirements um is something that I

00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:18.280
can't overlook. Um the staff were very

00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:21.960
clear in their   assessment of the

00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:25.176
application that they um could not be

00:49:25.200 --> 00:49:26.776
certain that the concerns around

00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:29.335
bushfire um had been addressed by the

00:49:29.359 --> 00:49:31.896
plans in their current   their

00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:34.776
current condition. Um however obviously

00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:36.856
I note that  the consultant that spoke

00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.256
on behalf of the proponent of the DA

00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:41.176
last night gave an undertaking that um

00:49:41.200 --> 00:49:43.256
that could be effectively managed. I

00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:44.456
don't think that that's something that

00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:47.480
should happen um within the the confines

00:49:47.839 --> 00:49:49.335
of public access. That's something that

00:49:49.359 --> 00:49:51.016
should have been  embedded in the

00:49:51.040 --> 00:49:52.776
plans themselves and and the turning

00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.856
circle  for access for fire vehicles

00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:57.335
is very important  in ensuring safety

00:49:57.359 --> 00:49:59.016
of all the occupants of any dwelling

00:49:59.040 --> 00:50:00.936
that's built on the block. I think there

00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:03.095
are obviously some um interesting

00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:05.176
challenges around the history of this

00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:08.200
particular block.  but as was noted um

00:50:08.640 --> 00:50:11.256
by staff yesterday,  the applicant was

00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:13.496
aware um at the time of purchasing the

00:50:13.520 --> 00:50:15.815
block um that it would be very difficult

00:50:15.839 --> 00:50:18.535
difficult if not impossible to build 

00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:21.256
and that many inquiries were made um by

00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:22.856
potential purchases at the time that

00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.095
this block was put up for sale most

00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:28.119
recently. and  the the item before us

00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:30.856
came to us under the assertion that the

00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:32.696
proponent wanted to proceed with it even

00:50:32.720 --> 00:50:34.535
though they knew that there were several

00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:36.936
non-compliances  and wanted it to come

00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:39.335
before the full council for our our

00:50:39.359 --> 00:50:41.496
final decision. I think that obviously

00:50:41.520 --> 00:50:43.256
there's some merit  in the discussion

00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.736
that we're having. Um, but I think it

00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:48.456
would be um ill- advised of us to try

00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:51.016
and um substantiate

00:50:51.040 --> 00:50:54.040
um a a failure of a of a legal case that

00:50:54.160 --> 00:50:57.016
is yet to happen  based on a precedent

00:50:57.040 --> 00:51:00.040
that was set by a previous   case of

00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:02.776
SHARP. Um when the characteristics of

00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:04.856
that block are very different to this

00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:07.176
one. Um there are inherent challenges

00:51:07.200 --> 00:51:09.656
that are um very specific to this block

00:51:09.680 --> 00:51:12.535
of land and they mostly relate not just

00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:15.416
to the application of the LEP um but

00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.896
fundamental aspects of our planning

00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:20.856
documents um both state and leap and

00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:22.776
that's something that I can't overlook

00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:25.256
um and I hope that um potentially that

00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.280
the the applicant will um will come back

00:51:29.040 --> 00:51:32.040
to council with a an application that is

00:51:33.520 --> 00:51:35.496
 successful in addressing those

00:51:35.520 --> 00:51:38.136
fundamental concerns about bushfire 

00:51:38.160 --> 00:51:40.856
and making sure that our water supply is

00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:43.880
accessible on the site as well.

00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:47.960
Thanks councelor Draisma Council Lawton.

00:51:48.720 --> 00:51:51.720
Thank you Mayor. Um

00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:54.760
so whilst the strategy focus on focuses

00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:57.656
on urban growth it does form part of a

00:51:57.680 --> 00:51:59.736
broader framework to to  guide

00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:02.136
development consistently.

00:52:02.160 --> 00:52:03.976
The housing strategy was recently

00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.000
endorsed by eight of counselors.

00:52:07.520 --> 00:52:09.575
This strategy was endorsed as the

00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:11.575
overarching document to avoid the very

00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:13.496
peace meal outcomes this proposal

00:52:13.520 --> 00:52:16.520
represents. So our community values

00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:18.696
rural lands and the rolling green hills,

00:52:18.720 --> 00:52:20.376
which is a commitment some of you made

00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:23.400
in your election campaign to maintain.

00:52:23.839 --> 00:52:25.976
This application conflicts with those

00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:28.696
commitments. The lot is undersized and

00:52:28.720 --> 00:52:30.696
has no dwelling entitlement. And as the

00:52:30.720 --> 00:52:32.856
planning team has advised, the proposal

00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:35.416
does not adequately address or resolve

00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:37.416
bushfire risk, storm water, sewer

00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:39.095
conflicts,

00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:40.936
 its incompatibility with the

00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:43.016
potential of surrounding agriculture

00:52:43.040 --> 00:52:45.736
uses. And it also adjoins C2 land where

00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:47.976
the purpose is to protect ecological and

00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:49.416
cultural values and maintain

00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:52.136
environmental buffers. We mustn't just

00:52:52.160 --> 00:52:54.936
look at the individual parcel.

00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:56.696
Approving this would potentially set a

00:52:56.720 --> 00:52:59.335
precedent across the LGA, encouraging

00:52:59.359 --> 00:53:01.496
the ad hoc development that so many of

00:53:01.520 --> 00:53:04.520
us have asked for not to occur.

00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:07.736
These Matters should be addressed

00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:09.176
through the upcoming rural land

00:53:09.200 --> 00:53:12.200
strategy, not a one-off application. I

00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:14.376
do disagree with councelor Warren when

00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:16.776
you suggest that potentially there's no

00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:18.616
one waiting in the wings to submit their

00:53:18.640 --> 00:53:21.176
DA. You would be surprised at how many

00:53:21.200 --> 00:53:22.936
applicants have already prepared for

00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.095
such an approval.

00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:27.256
Concerns about legal challenges should

00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:30.055
not influence these decisions. Such

00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:31.575
thoughts amount to a planning by

00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:33.416
blackmail and undermine the council's

00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:36.216
strategic framework. For these reasons,

00:53:36.240 --> 00:53:38.535
unfortunately, I cannot  support the

00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:41.095
application. Council must uphold the

00:53:41.119 --> 00:53:42.936
current LEP and the non-compliance

00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:45.960
issues  addressed in this application.

00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:48.376
We must ensure development remains

00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:50.535
orderly, sustainable, and aligned with

00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:53.559
community expectations.

00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:57.095
Thanks, council. Any further comments,

00:53:57.119 --> 00:53:59.095
quers? I'll just make a quick comment. I

00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:02.119
think um as you've heard, it's it's a

00:54:03.359 --> 00:54:05.335
it's a very divisive issue this one in

00:54:05.359 --> 00:54:07.335
that it's very complex, but also it goes

00:54:07.359 --> 00:54:09.416
to the root of um some of the

00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:12.295
deficiencies in our LEP. Um and

00:54:12.319 --> 00:54:14.216
certainly we're looking at that  rural

00:54:14.240 --> 00:54:16.456
housing strategy to address some of the

00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:19.480
pressures that are on our um rural um

00:54:19.520 --> 00:54:22.520
constituents. Essentially, you have 

00:54:22.720 --> 00:54:24.616
farmers out there that have larger

00:54:24.640 --> 00:54:26.696
blocks that can't um can't do anything

00:54:26.720 --> 00:54:29.720
with them apart from um you know go down

00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.136
a planning pathway which isn't desirable

00:54:32.160 --> 00:54:35.160
or um in support of that rural

00:54:36.640 --> 00:54:39.640
lifestyle. Um, so we did discuss um, you

00:54:41.520 --> 00:54:43.736
know, amendments to the leap early on in

00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:44.856
our term and I think that that's

00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:46.055
something that we definitely have to

00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:48.136
consider, but I would just say that it

00:54:48.160 --> 00:54:51.160
is a significant um, issue um, that

00:54:52.720 --> 00:54:54.616
we've been confronted with today and it

00:54:54.640 --> 00:54:56.295
is a difficult decision to make and I

00:54:56.319 --> 00:54:57.815
commend councelor Brown, council,

00:54:57.839 --> 00:55:00.055
councelor Kanes and certainly Warren and

00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:03.079
Draisma um for um, for

00:55:04.319 --> 00:55:07.319
, dissecting what is is in front of

00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:10.760
us. Um and um I would  just like to to

00:55:12.240 --> 00:55:15.240
commend the the debate. Um but certainly

00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:18.055
to consider that we do need to look at

00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:20.055
that leap. We do need to consider the

00:55:20.079 --> 00:55:23.079
rural land strategy. It is more this 

00:55:23.200 --> 00:55:25.736
this matter than just a a development on

00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:27.176
an undersized lot. There are some

00:55:27.200 --> 00:55:29.575
significant planning issues with it. um

00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:32.599
as we've heard from um councelor Draisma

00:55:32.640 --> 00:55:34.616
that um she would hope that the

00:55:34.640 --> 00:55:37.640
applicant if  if this is to to not be

00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:41.736
approved to um to come back with a a

00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:44.760
modified plan. Um but essentially um I

00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:48.696
think that it is um where this council

00:55:48.720 --> 00:55:50.376
wants to go. We want to be seen that we

00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:52.376
are assisting our constituents that

00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:53.896
essentially we're considering these

00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:56.136
issues and we're trying to move forward

00:55:56.160 --> 00:55:58.376
where there have been roadblocks. um

00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:00.775
previously we would like to to work

00:56:00.799 --> 00:56:02.775
through those roadblocks. So essentially

00:56:02.799 --> 00:56:05.799
um  that's um where I think that 

00:56:06.799 --> 00:56:08.696
where we are heading as a council.

00:56:08.720 --> 00:56:10.136
Councelor Kes, would you like your right

00:56:10.160 --> 00:56:11.176
a reply?

00:56:11.200 --> 00:56:12.696
Yeah, just briefly. Thank you, Mr.

00:56:12.720 --> 00:56:14.616
Mayor.

00:56:14.640 --> 00:56:17.640
You know, fellow councilors, um clause

00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:21.000
4.6 does give us the ability to consider

00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:25.960
exceptions to the development standards.

00:56:26.160 --> 00:56:29.160
It's not completely right to say that if

00:56:29.839 --> 00:56:31.896
something doesn't fit the particular

00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:34.920
provisions of the leap, then we must 

00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:38.119
we must reject it. The 4 the clause 4.6

00:56:39.520 --> 00:56:42.216
is there for that particular purpose. It

00:56:42.240 --> 00:56:44.936
gives us the right as councilors to

00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:46.856
approve a development that does not

00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:48.856
strictly comply with the numerical

00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:51.575
standards of the leap. And to some

00:56:51.599 --> 00:56:54.599
extent we have to do our job when we see

00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:57.960
that there is an unjust outcome where we

00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:00.936
see that we are recommended for instance

00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:03.960
to put the provisions of the leap or the

00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.559
process at a greater on a greater level

00:57:08.480 --> 00:57:11.480
than say a good and just outcome then we

00:57:12.559 --> 00:57:15.559
must consider in my view what is our job

00:57:16.240 --> 00:57:19.240
why was 4.6 6 put in there if not to

00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:22.440
give council the ability to

00:57:23.520 --> 00:57:26.520
 to to be able to grant consent when

00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:29.815
those  when the when the when it when

00:57:29.839 --> 00:57:31.976
a particular application doesn't meet

00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:35.000
the precise  standards in the leap.

00:57:36.640 --> 00:57:38.456
There are precedents for this. We've

00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:41.480
spoken about sharp versa council.

00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:44.055
We understand that this happens all the

00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:46.856
time. Whether it's setbacks or heights,

00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:49.880
we are always asked to consider 4.6 in

00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:53.976
order to create a better outcome for our

00:57:54.000 --> 00:57:55.736
community. And that's what we're asked

00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:58.760
to do tonight, to do our job. if this

00:57:59.839 --> 00:58:01.896
particular  if this particular

00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:04.136
application

00:58:04.160 --> 00:58:07.160
um is deficient in sewage or bushfire.

00:58:07.599 --> 00:58:09.335
Mind you, when I look at the satellite

00:58:09.359 --> 00:58:12.216
photos, there isn't a great deal of bush

00:58:12.240 --> 00:58:13.896
around this particular lot. I mean,

00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:16.920
let's be frank, but those things should

00:58:16.960 --> 00:58:19.896
be assessed on their merits and be

00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:22.775
assessed under the act. We shouldn't be

00:58:22.799 --> 00:58:25.496
we shouldn't be confusing the two. that

00:58:25.520 --> 00:58:28.520
is talking about the minimum lot size

00:58:29.680 --> 00:58:32.680
versus what the what  compliance to

00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:34.616
the appropriate standards. They're two

00:58:34.640 --> 00:58:37.640
they're two very different things.

00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:41.000
I I commend all of our counselors for

00:58:41.359 --> 00:58:44.295
giving this issue deep consideration.

00:58:44.319 --> 00:58:46.456
But I would also just challenge you one

00:58:46.480 --> 00:58:49.480
more time to think about what is a just,

00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:53.079
what is a fair, what is a good outcome.

00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:55.736
And I would ask you to consider that it

00:58:55.760 --> 00:58:58.760
is our job to consider variations to the

00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:02.055
leap under 4.6.

00:59:02.079 --> 00:59:04.376
It is a mechanism that's available to us

00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:06.936
and we should in this instance be brave

00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:09.335
and courageous enough to do our job in

00:59:09.359 --> 00:59:12.359
the best interests of our community.

00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:17.016
 no. So

00:59:17.040 --> 00:59:18.936
we've had the right to reply and so

00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:20.376
that's the closing argument. I just

00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:22.535
wanted to clarify something.

00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:25.559
Point of clarification, councelor Tetro.

00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:28.775
Thank you, Mayor. Um, on the issue of

00:59:28.799 --> 00:59:30.775
fire and water, we did hear last night

00:59:30.799 --> 00:59:32.936
from Susan Edwards that those things had

00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:35.960
been addressed. So, we're using those

00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:38.535
issues

00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:40.775
negatively, but last night they were

00:59:40.799 --> 00:59:43.575
addressed as being um compliant now.

00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:46.599
Right.

00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:47.256
question.

00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:50.280
I think that might be a question.

00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:53.815
Oh, okay. Point of clarification. Okay.

00:59:53.839 --> 00:59:56.839
Um I am going to put the motion. Um so

00:59:56.880 --> 00:59:59.880
we're voting on councelor Kanes's 

01:00:00.240 --> 01:00:03.240
support of um this this development

01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:06.760
application. So all those in favour of

01:00:08.799 --> 01:00:10.696
Council Kane's motion, if you raise your

01:00:10.720 --> 01:00:13.720
hands. Council Warren, Councelor Kanes,

01:00:13.839 --> 01:00:16.839
Councelor Tatrai. All those against.

01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:19.896
Councelor Matters, Councelor Brown,

01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:22.456
Council Lawton, Councelor Larkins, Council

01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:25.416
McDonald, Councelor Draisma. The motion's

01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:26.936
defeated.

01:00:26.960 --> 01:00:28.616
We did have a foreshadowed motion

01:00:28.640 --> 01:00:31.575
through councelor Draisma.

01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:32.295
Council DM.

01:00:32.319 --> 01:00:34.136
Thanks, Mr. Mayor. Just I would like to

01:00:34.160 --> 01:00:36.216
move the original motion and seek a

01:00:36.240 --> 01:00:37.656
second.

01:00:37.680 --> 01:00:39.095
Council Larkins second.

01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:40.775
Point of order. There wasn't an original

01:00:40.799 --> 01:00:43.335
motion. Mine was the original motion.

01:00:43.359 --> 01:00:45.575
The recommend the recommendation is

01:00:45.599 --> 01:00:47.176
printed in the business paper, Mr.

01:00:47.200 --> 01:00:47.815
Mayor.

01:00:47.839 --> 01:00:48.295
Yes.

01:00:48.319 --> 01:00:48.856
Thank you.

01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:50.856
Thank you.

01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:53.880
Thanks. So, we've got a move. Councelor

01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:57.079
Draisma seconded Councelor Larkins. Councelor

01:00:57.280 --> 01:00:58.936
Ding like to speak to it.

01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.335
Yeah. Look, I'd just like to in light of

01:01:01.359 --> 01:01:03.575
um councelor Tatre's um concerns

01:01:03.599 --> 01:01:05.256
earlier, I just want to make it

01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:07.335
abundantly clear that um bushfire

01:01:07.359 --> 01:01:10.055
requirements aren't part of our LEP.

01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:12.856
their um state legislation and we are

01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:15.016
required um and and staff are required

01:01:15.040 --> 01:01:18.040
to um implement those development regul

01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:21.559
regulations um with all DAS. Um so these

01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:25.880
are the the um the regulations from 2019

01:01:26.720 --> 01:01:28.136
 which the staff have made this

01:01:28.160 --> 01:01:30.535
assessment under. I note obviously as I

01:01:30.559 --> 01:01:33.095
said before that um that the proponent's

01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:35.016
consultant said that they um believed

01:01:35.040 --> 01:01:37.976
that these issues could be addressed. Um

01:01:38.000 --> 01:01:40.616
but the um the assessment of staff

01:01:40.640 --> 01:01:42.616
clearly outlines

01:01:42.640 --> 01:01:45.640
um that  they were unable to confirm

01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:47.815
whether this would be addressed

01:01:47.839 --> 01:01:49.335
effectively by the development

01:01:49.359 --> 01:01:52.359
application  in its current form. So I

01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:56.055
I um I thank councilors for um their

01:01:56.079 --> 01:01:57.976
engagement on this matter, but I think

01:01:58.000 --> 01:01:59.976
there's no there's no nuance um with

01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:02.696
bushfire regulation. Um we have to find

01:02:02.720 --> 01:02:05.720
 follow that absolutely to the letter.

01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:08.760
Um, and it's not so much about how um

01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:10.696
how much bush land there is, but the

01:02:10.720 --> 01:02:12.775
considerations around density and how

01:02:12.799 --> 01:02:14.856
close it is to the dwelling  is the

01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:16.696
determinant factor around what their

01:02:16.720 --> 01:02:18.775
rating is um and how that needs to be

01:02:18.799 --> 01:02:21.799
dealt with through um  planning and

01:02:22.319 --> 01:02:24.376
and the particular setback from those

01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:26.856
trees. So, it's um all very complex and

01:02:26.880 --> 01:02:29.335
complicated, but I think um as I said

01:02:29.359 --> 01:02:31.016
before, this is not something that can

01:02:31.040 --> 01:02:32.616
be negotiated. This is something that

01:02:32.640 --> 01:02:34.616
must be followed absolutely. Um

01:02:34.640 --> 01:02:36.616
otherwise we are we are putting people

01:02:36.640 --> 01:02:38.136
at risk.  it doesn't matter if it's

01:02:38.160 --> 01:02:40.775
this block of land um with the nuance

01:02:40.799 --> 01:02:43.656
considerations around  the purchase 

01:02:43.680 --> 01:02:46.535
and the concession  any any 

01:02:46.559 --> 01:02:48.376
dwelling that comes to council we must

01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:51.400
absolutely apply  these regulations.

01:02:52.240 --> 01:02:55.095
Thanks councelor DMA. Council Larkins.

01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:57.335
Yeah I'll just keep it brief. I I do 

01:02:57.359 --> 01:02:59.896
thank all councilors for um the very

01:02:59.920 --> 01:03:01.416
respectful debate. And I think a lot of

01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:04.376
what has um been said has has been said

01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:07.400
um and I can see merit in some of the um

01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:10.055
arguments that were put even by those

01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:12.936
that um I disagreed with. So um that's

01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:15.575
my view. Um and as councelor Draisma has

01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:17.976
mentioned about the bushfire um attack

01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:20.216
levels, the bow ratings.  in this

01:03:20.240 --> 01:03:22.856
particular case, it is a bal of 29 which

01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:25.176
does put that property at a high risk.

01:03:25.200 --> 01:03:27.815
It's not um you know an assessment of

01:03:27.839 --> 01:03:30.616
just the um the bush land in adjacent to

01:03:30.640 --> 01:03:32.775
that house. It's actually a rating that

01:03:32.799 --> 01:03:35.416
is quite high under the RFS standards.

01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:38.440
So um yeah, I support this um motion for

01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:40.456
refusal.

01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:43.015
Thanks, Council Larkins. Anyone speaking

01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:44.696
against the motion or want to comment

01:03:44.720 --> 01:03:46.376
further?

01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:49.400
No. Okay, I'll put the motion. All those

01:03:49.839 --> 01:03:51.416
in favour of the recommendation, raise

01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:53.736
your hands.

01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:55.656
Council Matters, Council Brown, Council

01:03:55.680 --> 01:03:57.736
Lord, Council Larkins, Council McDonald,

01:03:57.760 --> 01:04:00.376

Council Warren, Councelor Kanes,

Councelor Tatrai.

The recommendation motions carried.

01:04:07.440 --> 01:04:10.440

Yes, it is. It's a housekeeping, but

01:04:44.799 --> 01:04:45.976

Councelor Larkins.

01:05:20.640 --> 01:05:23.256
through to the director um just in

01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:25.176
regards to the changes that are

01:05:25.200 --> 01:05:27.416
occurring  which are obviously a state

01:05:27.440 --> 01:05:30.440
government um mandated change. Um just

01:05:30.799 --> 01:05:33.799
in response to the changes or issues of

01:05:34.160 --> 01:05:37.160
public road closures. um just to confirm

01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:39.815
that they have been taken out of the

01:05:39.839 --> 01:05:42.535
committee now forums hands and whether

01:05:42.559 --> 01:05:44.936
there will be any um changes that

01:05:44.960 --> 01:05:47.656
council could make to ensure that the

01:05:47.680 --> 01:05:49.736
public road closures are publicly

01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:52.136
available um to the community as soon as

01:05:52.160 --> 01:05:54.136
they are available or determined by

01:05:54.160 --> 01:05:55.976
council staff.

01:05:56.000 --> 01:05:58.295
Thanks councelor Larkins and

01:05:58.319 --> 01:06:00.295
apologies we'll just wait for the

01:06:00.319 --> 01:06:03.319
directors

01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:14.440
Dr. Brady.

01:06:14.880 --> 01:06:16.856
Now, would you like council Larkins to

01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:18.376
repeat his question?

01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:20.136
You've got that. Okay.

01:06:20.160 --> 01:06:22.055
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, just in

01:06:22.079 --> 01:06:25.079
response to Council Larkins.

01:06:26.240 --> 01:06:28.616
Thank you. , just in response to

01:06:28.640 --> 01:06:30.856
Council Larkins question about the public

01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:33.015
notice component. Um as you're aware the

01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:35.335
changes to the  transport forum um

01:06:35.359 --> 01:06:38.359
indicates that any events etc that are

01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:41.896
beyond 24 hours in duration still need

01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:43.656
to go back to the traffic forum but any

01:06:43.680 --> 01:06:45.256
of those events that are under that 

01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:48.216
time frame um don't no longer are

01:06:48.240 --> 01:06:50.136
required to go to the transport forum.

01:06:50.160 --> 01:06:51.496
So the process that we're looking to put

01:06:51.520 --> 01:06:53.256
in place now is that for those type of

01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:55.815
events u we will set up a web page and

01:06:55.839 --> 01:06:57.736
any of those um events that are approved

01:06:57.760 --> 01:06:59.335
in house will be posted up on that web

01:06:59.359 --> 01:07:00.616
page with the details and the traffic

01:07:00.640 --> 01:07:01.976
management plans associated with that.

01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:03.416
So that's they'll be open to the public

01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:04.616
to review those.

01:07:04.640 --> 01:07:06.376
Thank you very much.

01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:07.976
Councelor Dasma, do you want to speak to

01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:09.575
the motion?

01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:12.599
No. Any further comments on the motion?

01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:14.775
Okay, I'll put the motion. All those in

01:07:14.799 --> 01:07:17.736
favour raise your hands.

01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:20.760
All those against the motion's carried.

01:07:21.359 --> 01:07:23.256
We are at item 17, reports for

01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:24.696
information. The following reports for

01:07:24.720 --> 01:07:27.656

01:07:31.200 --> 01:07:33.815
and noted. Jimaru Heritage Review update

01:07:33.839 --> 01:07:36.376
next steps. 17.2

01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:37.736
outstanding questions with notice

01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:40.760
region.

01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:44.936
Sorry.

01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:47.960
Yeah, I know. Council

01:07:48.160 --> 01:07:48.775
have a question.

01:07:48.799 --> 01:07:50.696
Council Lawton on

01:07:50.720 --> 01:07:52.295
I'm just checking. Are you going to come

01:07:52.319 --> 01:07:53.416
back for questions on

01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:54.696
I was going to Yeah, I was just reading

01:07:54.720 --> 01:07:55.496
them through.

01:07:55.520 --> 01:07:58.520
So item 17.3 post public exhibition KA

01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:01.815
Sports Complex Master Plan update. Item

01:08:01.839 --> 01:08:04.839
17.4 response to minute 25460C

01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:08.856
notice of motion during coastal walking

01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:11.176
track. Do we have any questions on any

01:08:11.200 --> 01:08:13.815
of those? Council Larkins, I think you

01:08:13.839 --> 01:08:14.696
council Lord.

01:08:14.720 --> 01:08:16.056
I did have questions. So, I was going to

01:08:16.080 --> 01:08:17.976
let the Mayor read um read it all out.

01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:21.000
The first one's for 17.1, the Jambbury

01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:23.655
Heritage Review. Um I'm very pleased to

01:08:23.679 --> 01:08:25.335
see this continuing. I was a little bit

01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:27.815
concerned  by its delay a couple of

01:08:27.839 --> 01:08:30.839
years ago. Um and not just that, because

01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:32.775
of the impact that it would have on

01:08:32.799 --> 01:08:35.576
subsequently doing a Jerong heritage

01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:38.600
review.  so I just wish to confirm 

01:08:39.600 --> 01:08:41.655
two things from from the director in

01:08:41.679 --> 01:08:43.976
regards to that report that the heritage

01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:47.000
conservation areas will be likely to be

01:08:47.120 --> 01:08:48.936
considered for the Jambaroo areas or

01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:51.815
parts of that area and secondly about

01:08:51.839 --> 01:08:54.839
the Jerong heritage review in terms of

01:08:55.120 --> 01:08:58.120
time frames. Thank you,

01:08:58.239 --> 01:08:58.775
director.

01:08:58.799 --> 01:09:00.456
Through you, Mayor. In response to your

01:09:00.480 --> 01:09:03.016
first question, as you indicated, there

01:09:03.040 --> 01:09:05.815
was a delay in this project. Um, the

01:09:05.839 --> 01:09:07.896
initial report did go on public

01:09:07.920 --> 01:09:10.376
exhibition some time and garnered a lot

01:09:10.400 --> 01:09:12.775
of community feedback and concern. And

01:09:12.799 --> 01:09:14.856
so, we had that report peer-reviewed.

01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:17.735
The peerreview report will also be made

01:09:17.759 --> 01:09:19.976
publicly available at some broader

01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:21.335
point, but we are going to have a

01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:22.695
discrete conversations with those

01:09:22.719 --> 01:09:25.719
affected land owners so as to calm any

01:09:25.839 --> 01:09:27.496
concerns before a broad public

01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:30.056
exhibition. The peer review does still

01:09:30.080 --> 01:09:31.815
recommend the two heritage conservation

01:09:31.839 --> 01:09:34.839
areas.  it has recommended less of the

01:09:35.120 --> 01:09:36.936
heritage items than were initially

01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:39.960
proposed by the niche report. In regards

01:09:40.080 --> 01:09:41.576
to your second question around a

01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:44.215
Jeringong heritage review, it's not

01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:46.135
currently included in our operational

01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:48.616
plan. It is envisaged to be done in

01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:50.135
conjunction with the Jering Gong town

01:09:50.159 --> 01:09:52.536
center study or plan like we did for

01:09:52.560 --> 01:09:55.416
Cayama. Um that is a matter for

01:09:55.440 --> 01:09:57.416
inclusion in future versions of our

01:09:57.440 --> 01:09:59.416
operational plan.

01:09:59.440 --> 01:10:01.496
Thank you.

01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:03.336
I um I don't I also have a question

01:10:03.360 --> 01:10:06.360
about 17.3 just in response to um it's

01:10:07.360 --> 01:10:09.336
probably to the CEO in regards to this

01:10:09.360 --> 01:10:12.360
question. The um public access speakers

01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:15.800
discussed a committee option last night.

01:10:16.159 --> 01:10:18.296
I just wanted to get some brief feedback

01:10:18.320 --> 01:10:21.016
in regards to that. I do have concerns

01:10:21.040 --> 01:10:23.175
around establishing new committees, but

01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:25.175
at the same time I could see the the

01:10:25.199 --> 01:10:27.416
merit of what was being proposed by

01:10:27.440 --> 01:10:29.496
those public access speakers. So, I'd

01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:30.856
just like to get some commentary from

01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:32.776
the staff about that option.

01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:34.135
Sarah,

01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:37.159
thank you, Mr. Mayor. , yes, I did

01:10:37.760 --> 01:10:40.616
listen to that with um much interest

01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:42.536
last night. There's a couple of things

01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:44.695
that are floating around my heads in a

01:10:44.719 --> 01:10:46.536
head. Sounds like I've got many heads.

01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:49.560
God, in relation to  the establishment

01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:52.056
of any kind of group up there, one, I

01:10:52.080 --> 01:10:53.736
want to be really respectful of the role

01:10:53.760 --> 01:10:56.760
of KDSA up there and what is what is in

01:10:56.880 --> 01:10:58.376
their terms of reference and their

01:10:58.400 --> 01:11:00.296
constitution. That's an entity that we

01:11:00.320 --> 01:11:02.296
actually provide $60,000 worth of

01:11:02.320 --> 01:11:05.320
rateayers funds to. So, I definitely

01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:07.256
don't want to be standing on anybody's

01:11:07.280 --> 01:11:10.280
toes in the KDSA. We also have a couple

01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:12.695
of our own committees that we need to

01:11:12.719 --> 01:11:14.376
take into consideration. The major

01:11:14.400 --> 01:11:17.400
projects and finance committee I really

01:11:18.080 --> 01:11:19.655
think we want to play a strong role in

01:11:19.679 --> 01:11:21.096
that. We've worked hard as an

01:11:21.120 --> 01:11:23.655
organization to improve our actual

01:11:23.679 --> 01:11:25.496
project management framework and this

01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:28.056
will be deemed a major project. Thank

01:11:28.080 --> 01:11:30.776
you councelor Lawton. You know much

01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:32.776
championed with your guidance which

01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:35.496
we're very grateful of. But I'm really

01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:37.576
interested to understand once we have a

01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:39.896
project control group, what is the

01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:41.736
actually what is the neat fit and I

01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:43.175
believe it was councelor Drezner who

01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:45.336
mentioned it last night. It could well

01:11:45.360 --> 01:11:47.816
be more of a working group or of a

01:11:47.840 --> 01:11:49.816
steering committee that feeds into the

01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:52.840
overall PCG. And on that PCG, project

01:11:53.280 --> 01:11:55.416
control group, you're going to need

01:11:55.440 --> 01:11:57.816
representatives from that major projects

01:11:57.840 --> 01:11:59.655
group because we can't have a situation

01:11:59.679 --> 01:12:02.056
where we've got multiple committees

01:12:02.080 --> 01:12:04.296
reworking and overcommunicating and

01:12:04.320 --> 01:12:06.135
making decisions because at the end of

01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:08.376
the day, unless it's a 355 committee

01:12:08.400 --> 01:12:10.776
under the local government act, nobody

01:12:10.800 --> 01:12:13.016
else makes decisions on finances except

01:12:13.040 --> 01:12:16.040
this room for that kind of extent. So, I

01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:19.816
absolutely think improvements in

01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:22.056
communications, some good streamlined

01:12:22.080 --> 01:12:24.695
information. I'm very supportive of

01:12:24.719 --> 01:12:27.175
having um some involvement of our state

01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:29.816
and federal members in that group, but

01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:32.056
as and when they too see fit because I'm

01:12:32.080 --> 01:12:33.976
also quite mindful that we do have

01:12:34.000 --> 01:12:36.215
quarterly briefings which we're very

01:12:36.239 --> 01:12:38.456
grateful for with our federal member and

01:12:38.480 --> 01:12:40.376
we've likewise written to our brand new

01:12:40.400 --> 01:12:42.695
state member asking for the same thing.

01:12:42.719 --> 01:12:44.296
So we do need to be mindful that we're

01:12:44.320 --> 01:12:46.215
not overburdening their time and that's

01:12:46.239 --> 01:12:48.135
a question I'd like to put to them

01:12:48.159 --> 01:12:51.159
rather than also you know create a forum

01:12:51.199 --> 01:12:54.135
where we expect them to be. So I have a

01:12:54.159 --> 01:12:56.456
number of things in my head. Um, in one

01:12:56.480 --> 01:12:58.936
way I'm quite grateful that we've just

01:12:58.960 --> 01:13:01.960
provided the consultation and that we

01:13:02.320 --> 01:13:04.056
still need to go through the process of

01:13:04.080 --> 01:13:06.215
refining the master plan because I also

01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:07.816
think we need to have some conversations

01:13:07.840 --> 01:13:10.536
in the background about how will those

01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:12.215
committees and any sort of working

01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:15.016
groups actually feed in together. It's

01:13:15.040 --> 01:13:17.175
kind of a long answer, but that's what

01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:19.175
I'm currently thinking off the back of

01:13:19.199 --> 01:13:21.655
last night's suggestion. And I do thank

01:13:21.679 --> 01:13:24.679
Natalie um and the other public speaker

01:13:25.760 --> 01:13:28.760
Ryan for their ideas and for their very

01:13:29.120 --> 01:13:31.416
um open approach to working with us. I'm

01:13:31.440 --> 01:13:33.736
very grateful of that.

01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:36.456
Thanks. Now councelor Dre, I just go to

01:13:36.480 --> 01:13:38.616
councelor  Lawton first.

01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:41.640
Oh, thank you. Just really quickly on

01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:45.000
17.2 the question with notice register.

01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:48.456
I would um I I noticed that it's it's in

01:13:48.480 --> 01:13:50.296
the papers, but I would like it to date

01:13:50.320 --> 01:13:53.320
back to September 2024

01:13:53.760 --> 01:13:54.695
as

01:13:54.719 --> 01:13:55.655
Thanks, CO.

01:13:55.679 --> 01:13:57.576
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'll just publicly

01:13:57.600 --> 01:13:59.496
apologize for that. We're very literal.

01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:02.215
I just aligned it to quarterly because

01:14:02.239 --> 01:14:04.215
we tend to do everything in quarters.

01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:06.376
Happy to take that on board and we'll um

01:14:06.400 --> 01:14:07.816
make sure that it goes all the way back

01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:09.496
to the start of your term.

01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:11.256
Great. Thank you. And just one last

01:14:11.280 --> 01:14:14.280
question just on the item 17.3 given

01:14:15.120 --> 01:14:16.376
that there's been quite a few

01:14:16.400 --> 01:14:18.296
submissions and there's a lot of work

01:14:18.320 --> 01:14:21.320
obviously to go through before you know

01:14:21.679 --> 01:14:24.296
it's then the options come up again

01:14:24.320 --> 01:14:26.456
what's our time frame that we think that

01:14:26.480 --> 01:14:29.480
that might happen

01:14:30.320 --> 01:14:33.320
as a guide as a guide  through the

01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:36.760
Mayor I'm look I'll give you a guide but

01:14:37.120 --> 01:14:39.896
I know the staff had ambitiously thought

01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:41.816
October,

01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:44.376
but my personal take on that is it'll be

01:14:44.400 --> 01:14:47.400
November. I would suggest um purely

01:14:47.679 --> 01:14:49.736
because reviewing that master plan,

01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:51.256
coming up with a report that's that

01:14:51.280 --> 01:14:53.736
extensive, it just takes time and you've

01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:54.856
still got to get it through the

01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:56.215
management team and you've still got to

01:14:56.239 --> 01:14:57.816
get it to ELT because as you can

01:14:57.840 --> 01:15:00.840
imagine, that kind of size facility has

01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:03.416
multiple stakeholders internally and I

01:15:03.440 --> 01:15:04.776
don't want a situation where we're

01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:06.376
standing here and one section of the

01:15:06.400 --> 01:15:08.056
business hasn't heard about it or seen

01:15:08.080 --> 01:15:10.456
about it. So, I'm going to say November

01:15:10.480 --> 01:15:13.096
most likely.

01:15:13.120 --> 01:15:15.896
Council DMA.

01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:17.816
, thanks, Mr. Mayor. Look, I'd just

01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:20.840
like to ask a question as to whether um

01:15:21.760 --> 01:15:24.135
in the interim of making a decision

01:15:24.159 --> 01:15:26.936
about whether um a standalone body is

01:15:26.960 --> 01:15:28.695
required, noting exactly what you said

01:15:28.719 --> 01:15:31.096
before um CEO, around you know the fact

01:15:31.120 --> 01:15:34.056
that we do regularly advocate to state

01:15:34.080 --> 01:15:37.080
and federal representatives about um our

01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:39.336
 funding requirements and major

01:15:39.360 --> 01:15:41.175
projects, whether we would maybe

01:15:41.199 --> 01:15:43.896
consider putting in place a um a

01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.215
communication strategy specifically for

01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:48.936
the project  and I guess the various

01:15:48.960 --> 01:15:51.896
stages particularly in the um you know

01:15:51.920 --> 01:15:53.496
preliminary stage that we're in at the

01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:55.496
moment um the process we're in will

01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:57.896
communicate as we're um you going

01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:00.536
through an EOI or tendering or or um

01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:02.376
seeking funding  and the actual

01:16:02.400 --> 01:16:03.976
implementation whether it's we're

01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:06.296
looking at a um you know a staged

01:16:06.320 --> 01:16:08.056
approach to the project or whether we

01:16:08.080 --> 01:16:10.215
will um have the opportunity hopefully

01:16:10.239 --> 01:16:13.175
to do it all in one go as to how we will

01:16:13.199 --> 01:16:14.856
communicate with those stakeholders and

01:16:14.880 --> 01:16:16.376
whether that's something maybe we could

01:16:16.400 --> 01:16:19.175
consider um as a kind of touchstone

01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:21.816
going forward with it.

01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:22.536
Se

01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:24.215
thank you. Yeah, part of our project

01:16:24.239 --> 01:16:26.376
management framework um for major

01:16:26.400 --> 01:16:28.215
projects is to develop a community

01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:29.976
engagement strategy and we'll actually

01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:31.896
bring that to council so that you can

01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:34.056
see it all mapped out. So, in the

01:16:34.080 --> 01:16:35.496
background, we will start developing

01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:37.736
that and we'll probably create the bones

01:16:37.760 --> 01:16:39.976
of it and then sit down with KDSA and a

01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:41.416
couple of those other key sporting

01:16:41.440 --> 01:16:43.576
groups up there to make sure that

01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:45.096
they're happy with it before we bring it

01:16:45.120 --> 01:16:47.896
to you as well.

01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:49.416
Thanks, Council Matters.

01:16:49.440 --> 01:16:51.096
Um, thank you. I think it's already been

01:16:51.120 --> 01:16:53.576
said, but I would like to thank um the

01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:55.336
speakers last night, Natalie Allen and

01:16:55.360 --> 01:16:58.360
Ryan McBride. Um, the KDA KDSA group um

01:16:59.040 --> 01:17:00.776
is a quite a unique group and Craig

01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:02.536
Scott up there. They do an enormous

01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:03.976
amount of work. I mean, Craig would do

01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:05.576
20 to 30 hours. If anyone's ever done

01:17:05.600 --> 01:17:08.456
rosters, trying to work out sporting

01:17:08.480 --> 01:17:09.976
fields when it's wet, things like that,

01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:11.896
and trying to keep everybody happy is

01:17:11.920 --> 01:17:14.920
not an easy job. Um, so I just like to

01:17:15.040 --> 01:17:17.655
thank um especially, you know, Craig,

01:17:17.679 --> 01:17:20.679
Natalie, Ryan, John up there. They they

01:17:20.719 --> 01:17:22.776
formed a working group and came back

01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:25.800
with co collated unified feedback um for

01:17:26.080 --> 01:17:27.976
the for the um master plan up there. So,

01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:29.976
I'd like to thank them very much. and

01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:32.695
that is a group that work well together

01:17:32.719 --> 01:17:34.056
discussed. So I think we got to be

01:17:34.080 --> 01:17:37.080
really proud of that organization.

01:17:37.280 --> 01:17:39.016
Okay.

01:17:39.040 --> 01:17:41.576
Any further questions? No, we'll move

01:17:41.600 --> 01:17:44.600
on. Okay. Um we're at  there being no

01:17:46.239 --> 01:17:49.239
late items in item 18. We're at item 19.

01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:51.496
Question notice. Question notice.

01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:54.135
Council Larkins cost estimate of an

01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:56.215
accessible disabled car parking space at

01:17:56.239 --> 01:17:58.376
Manning Street, Ky. The answers provided

01:17:58.400 --> 01:17:59.976
in the report. Council Lawkins.

01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:01.736
Yep. I'd just like to pass on my thanks

01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:04.456
to council staff  for the response 

01:18:04.480 --> 01:18:07.096
to that question. I just wish to confirm

01:18:07.120 --> 01:18:09.576
that the $30,000

01:18:09.600 --> 01:18:12.600
quote is for the purposes of

01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:16.536
um like the physical work of of creating

01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:18.936
a disability car park. That's that's not

01:18:18.960 --> 01:18:21.576
including the painting that's painting

01:18:21.600 --> 01:18:24.296
or signs. It's actually the the work

01:18:24.320 --> 01:18:27.320
that's required on the road.

01:18:28.239 --> 01:18:30.536
director. Thank you through you, Mr.

01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:32.536
Mayor. In response to council L's

01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:34.856
question, the $30,000 is all inclusive

01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:36.776
for the creation of a disabled parking

01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:38.215
space.

01:18:38.239 --> 01:18:40.215
Great. Council Lordon.

01:18:40.239 --> 01:18:41.976
Yes. Thank you, Mayor.  through you,

01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:44.536
Mayor, to the CEO. I would just like to

01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:47.256
confirm the terminology that is

01:18:47.280 --> 01:18:50.215
suggested for the no parking signage

01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:53.239
where apparently you can drop off. Just

01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:56.520
if you could confirm the actual signage

01:18:56.880 --> 01:18:59.016
text,

01:18:59.040 --> 01:19:02.040
sir for the director to take that

01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:05.336
um through you, Mr. Mayor.  the no

01:19:05.360 --> 01:19:06.936
parking signage which would be erected

01:19:06.960 --> 01:19:09.336
would obviously have the the I'm sorry

01:19:09.360 --> 01:19:10.856
to describe it would have the P with the

01:19:10.880 --> 01:19:12.536
line through it. That's the regulatory

01:19:12.560 --> 01:19:14.215
component which we need to put on there.

01:19:14.239 --> 01:19:15.976
Underneath that we can put additional

01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:18.296
text or words under there to give better

01:19:18.320 --> 01:19:19.736
clarity in terms of how long you can

01:19:19.760 --> 01:19:21.655
stay in those spaces. So you can stay

01:19:21.679 --> 01:19:23.896
there for up to two minutes and not be

01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:26.920
more than 3 meters from your vehicle.

01:19:26.960 --> 01:19:29.960
Thanks, Councelor Brown.

01:19:30.880 --> 01:19:33.016
May I'd like to ask a question with

01:19:33.040 --> 01:19:36.040
notice.

01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:41.655
I'm going to just  confirm the

01:19:41.679 --> 01:19:44.679
procedure here.

01:19:45.280 --> 01:19:46.695
Just going to get some advice from the

01:19:46.719 --> 01:19:47.576
public officer.

01:19:47.600 --> 01:19:49.096
Advice from the public officer. Thanks,

01:19:49.120 --> 01:19:50.616
Co.

01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:52.616
I'm pretty sure they can just ask and I

01:19:52.640 --> 01:19:54.215
can choose to take it on notice or

01:19:54.239 --> 01:19:56.296
answer it.

01:19:56.320 --> 01:19:59.320
I think we'll 

01:19:59.360 --> 01:20:01.096
Yeah. So there you go.

01:20:01.120 --> 01:20:02.456
We'll hear your question. Thank you

01:20:02.480 --> 01:20:05.416
councelor Brown. May my question is

01:20:05.440 --> 01:20:07.496
could council leaz with transport for

01:20:07.520 --> 01:20:10.520
New South Wales about the design of the

01:20:11.040 --> 01:20:13.816
collision bar on the railway bridge at

01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:16.840
Terong Street cuz I'm concerned the

01:20:17.040 --> 01:20:19.576
aesthetics of what is occurring there

01:20:19.600 --> 01:20:22.600
and we as a community would like the

01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:27.000
best looking  upgrade of that

01:20:27.120 --> 01:20:29.576
collision bar  because the last one

01:20:29.600 --> 01:20:32.600
was particularly ugly.

01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:34.856
Thanks. We'll  I'm not sure the

01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:36.296
procedure there, but we'll take that.

01:20:36.320 --> 01:20:37.736
CEO,

01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:40.215
thank you. I will happily take that on

01:20:40.239 --> 01:20:41.976
notice and a report will be brought back

01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:45.000
to the October round. Um it is quite

01:20:46.000 --> 01:20:49.000
visually intrusive down there.

01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:50.856
Thanks, Councelor Brown. I'm going to

01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:53.175
have to do my homework there. So, thanks

01:20:53.199 --> 01:20:55.336
very much. Um do we have any more

01:20:55.360 --> 01:20:58.135
comments on 9.1 at all? No, we'll move

01:20:58.159 --> 01:21:01.159
on. Um okay, we're at item 20. Notice a

01:21:01.360 --> 01:21:03.416
motion. , councelor Tetra, use of

01:21:03.440 --> 01:21:05.655
North Kim neighborhood center for the

01:21:05.679 --> 01:21:08.679
everyday table. Um, we have a mover.

01:21:09.120 --> 01:21:11.096
Councelor Tetra, second of councelor

01:21:11.120 --> 01:21:12.616
Kanes. Councelor Tatre, would you like

01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:15.336
to speak to the motion?

01:21:15.360 --> 01:21:18.360
Thank you, Mayor. Um, the everyday table

01:21:18.480 --> 01:21:21.175
is an initiative to promote connection.

01:21:21.199 --> 01:21:24.199
It's not just about receiving goods.

01:21:24.320 --> 01:21:25.896
It's it's about everyone being able to

01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:28.920
go. You don't have to pay. They're not

01:21:29.199 --> 01:21:32.056
subsidized in in terms of money other

01:21:32.080 --> 01:21:34.856
than being given goods. In Australia,

01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:36.936
over 4 million people have to choose

01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:38.936
between

01:21:38.960 --> 01:21:41.960
food and clothing and personal hygiene.

01:21:42.480 --> 01:21:44.695
You'll be able to go there. You'll get

01:21:44.719 --> 01:21:47.719
clothes. They've um got a pallet just

01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:51.175
received from Good 360. And Good 360

01:21:51.199 --> 01:21:54.199
provides to organizations things like

01:21:54.880 --> 01:21:57.336
everything's new. So anything in excess

01:21:57.360 --> 01:21:59.336
they give out. So yesterday they got

01:21:59.360 --> 01:22:02.360
Lego, they got hygiene items, they got

01:22:02.480 --> 01:22:04.056
clothes

01:22:04.080 --> 01:22:06.615
and we're going to have that in Cameons.

01:22:06.639 --> 01:22:09.016
So if if you're feeling sad or you're

01:22:09.040 --> 01:22:11.096
feeling you just want to be with people,

01:22:11.120 --> 01:22:13.336
you can go there. You don't have to pay.

01:22:13.360 --> 01:22:15.976
And um hope you'll support this motion

01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:19.000
everyone. Um

01:22:19.040 --> 01:22:21.736
let's have a look here.

01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:23.016
I don't really think that there's that

01:22:23.040 --> 01:22:24.695
much to say. I think you you all heard

01:22:24.719 --> 01:22:27.576
last night what a worthwhile um

01:22:27.600 --> 01:22:30.600
organization it is and it's it's been

01:22:31.120 --> 01:22:33.576
amazing to get

01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:36.376
Ed and and the CEO to support this at

01:22:36.400 --> 01:22:37.896
the level that they have and helped us

01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:39.576
get through

01:22:39.600 --> 01:22:42.600
dates and times and being able to secure

01:22:43.199 --> 01:22:46.056
the times that everyone can go. So, um

01:22:46.080 --> 01:22:48.135
that's about it really. If you've got

01:22:48.159 --> 01:22:50.456
any questions, you can ask me. Are they

01:22:50.480 --> 01:22:52.056
allowed to ask me questions?

01:22:52.080 --> 01:22:53.496
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:55.496
Thanks, Councelor Tetro.

01:22:55.520 --> 01:22:57.496
Um, Councelor Kane would like to speak

01:22:57.520 --> 01:22:59.655
to the motion.

01:22:59.679 --> 01:23:02.296
I just want to say that I'm um

01:23:02.320 --> 01:23:03.655
absolutely thrilled to be able to

01:23:03.679 --> 01:23:05.655

Tatrai, whether it's this or her motions

01:23:09.280 --> 01:23:11.336
about disabled parking. She's always

01:23:11.360 --> 01:23:12.856
very considered and generous and

01:23:12.880 --> 01:23:15.175
big-hearted and community-minded, and I

01:23:15.199 --> 01:23:16.936
thank you for bringing it to  to

01:23:16.960 --> 01:23:19.256
council tonight.

01:23:19.280 --> 01:23:20.856
Okay,

01:23:20.880 --> 01:23:23.655
nice words. Um, can you just turn your

01:23:23.679 --> 01:23:25.096
light so I can see who's next in the

01:23:25.120 --> 01:23:27.096
queue? Council Larkins.

01:23:27.120 --> 01:23:29.655
, yes. I'd just like to um express my

01:23:29.679 --> 01:23:31.175
support for this motion. I'm very

01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:34.199
heartened by um the the initiative um of

01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:37.496
this group. I'm and very much supporting

01:23:37.520 --> 01:23:40.215
the um the growth and being able to see

01:23:40.239 --> 01:23:43.016
how this um flourishes over the next

01:23:43.040 --> 01:23:44.856
period of time. So, I'm very happy to

it's the given what they're going to

01:24:00.480 --> 01:24:02.056
provide to our community, I think it's

01:24:02.080 --> 01:24:04.536
the least that we can do um to provide

01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:06.615
some from some storage for them. It's

01:24:06.639 --> 01:24:08.215
fantastic and I look forward to being

01:24:08.239 --> 01:24:10.695

committee of the whole?

01:25:44.159 --> 01:25:47.159

Good to see you back.

01:25:56.080 --> 01:25:58.856
Okay.

01:25:58.880 --> 01:26:00.296
deals with information that would if

01:26:00.320 --> 01:26:02.376

01:26:20.159 --> 01:26:21.416
confidentiality is that this matter

01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:37.655
confidentiality. This matter deals with

01:26:37.679 --> 01:26:39.016
information that would, if disclosed,

01:26:39.040 --> 01:26:41.736
reveal a trade secret as per section 10

01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:43.655
A2 D Roman numerals 3 of the local

01:26:43.679 --> 01:26:44.936
government act.

01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:47.175
One thing

01:26:47.199 --> 01:26:48.695
CEO,

01:26:48.719 --> 01:26:50.615
thank you, Mr. Mayor. My apologies to

01:26:50.639 --> 01:26:52.615
those watching on at home. We just had

01:26:52.639 --> 01:26:55.016
an inadvertent break in the live stream.

01:26:55.040 --> 01:26:57.175
We switched off a little too early. The

01:26:57.199 --> 01:26:59.096
Mayor was reading the titles of each of

01:26:59.120 --> 01:27:01.096
the confidential reports. Those titles

01:27:01.120 --> 01:27:02.695
are obviously contained within the

01:27:02.719 --> 01:27:04.936
business paper which are live within the

01:27:04.960 --> 01:27:06.776
website. So we will now switch off the

01:27:06.800 --> 01:27:08.776
live stream and move to confidential.

01:27:08.800 --> 01:27:11.800
Oh, we score one to go. So item 22.8

01:27:12.960 --> 01:27:15.576
response to short-term cash and reserves

01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:18.135
position. The reason for confidentiality

01:27:18.159 --> 01:27:19.416
is that this matter deals with

01:27:19.440 --> 01:27:21.175
commercial information of a confidential

01:27:21.199 --> 01:27:23.175

01:27:23.199 --> 01:27:24.695
the commercial position of the person

01:27:24.719 --> 01:27:26.856
who supplied it as per section 10

01:27:26.880 --> 01:27:29.096

01:27:29.120 --> 01:27:31.175

01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:33.416
list well you probably lucky you missed

01:27:33.440 --> 01:27:35.416
all that but it is in the papers as the

01:27:35.440 --> 01:27:38.056
CEO has said going to have a mover.

01:27:38.080 --> 01:27:39.896
Council Larkins second to council tantro

01:27:39.920 --> 01:27:42.056

01:27:42.080 --> 01:27:44.856

motions carried. Can you just wait for

01:28:03.040 --> 01:28:06.040
the live stream to be turned off?

01:28:09.280 --> 01:28:11.336
So we're back on. Welcome back everyone.

01:28:13.280 --> 01:28:15.655
