14 Questions / Councillor Reports

Mayor 14 February 2012 9 ADELAIDE HILLS COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING TUESDAY 17 JANUARY 2012 63 MT BARKER ROAD STIRLING

14.1 Questions on Notice

14.1.1 CWMS for Houghton/Inglewood 14.36.1 Cr Malcolm Herrmann

How far has the investigation into the provision of the CWMS for Houghton/ Inglewood, for which $50,000 was provided in the 2010/11 budget and carried forward into 2011/12 budget, progressed? Officer Response, Tim Hancock, Director Engineering In 2007, the Council received $100,000 in ‘seed’ funding from the State Government through the Local Government Association’s Community Wastewater Management Scheme (CWMS) Program to investigate the feasibility of developing a CWMS scheme for Houghton and Inglewood. The Council also received funding for investigating the feasibility of schemes for Uraidla and Mylor.

Feasibility studies and concept designs for each scheme were carried out. This included modelling the construction and whole-of-life costs to determine the fees that would need to be charged to scheme users to recover the system costs. At the time of considering its budget for 2009-10, the Council considered the capital construction costs to be prohibitive and the proposed ongoing fees were perceived to be higher than what the community would accept.

For the Houghton and Inglewood scheme, the up-front capital construction cost was estimated at around $4.5m in 2009. Whole-of-life costs, when converted to a cost per connection, were estimated at approximately $1,900 per year. As a consequence, the matter was held in abeyance and the remaining seed funding was ‘carried forward’ into subsequent Council Budgets.

The present intention is to use the remaining investigation seed funding to explore alternative and more cost-effective technical solutions, as well as reviewing the viability of the schemes in terms of the Council’s long-term financial position and exploring alternative funding sources. Staff are presently reviewing literature associated with the earlier investigations and designs and will work with consultants to progress this matter over the next six (6) months.

It is important to note that in recent years, the regulatory framework for managing CWMS has changed. The Environment Protection Authority takes a keen interest in the systems and its expectations on environmental outcomes is increasing.

Managing these systems is now much more technically complex and the reporting requirements more onerous, than in the past, resulting in higher costs and a greater demand on resourcing. The Council is having to rely more heavily on outside expertise to manage the systems. Staff are in the process of investigating the most appropriate ongoing management arrangements for CWMS.

Mayor 12 June 2012 82 ADELAIDE HILLS COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING TUESDAY 22 MAY 2012 63 MT BARKER ROAD STIRLING

14 Questions / Councillor Reports 14.1 Questions on Notice 14.1.1 Re-use of effluent from the Birdwood CWMS What progress has been made on the re-use of effluent from the Birdwood CWMS for which expressions of interest closed in February 2012?

Officer Response, Tim Hancock, Director Engineering Expressions of interest were advertised in December 2011 and letters were also sent to property owners in proximity of the treatment lagoons. Registrations closed on 20 January 2012 with four formal registrations being received. Council staff have worked with officers of the Environment Protection Authority and SA Health to determine which of the proposed uses were suitable and practical. This process involved site visits to two of the properties to assess the viability of the proposals.

Unfortunately three of the four proposal received have been ruled out by that process, however, discussion with the remaining proponent is encouraging. We are now awaiting detail of their proposal in writing prior to Council staff undertaking further investigations of that proposal.

We have informally been advised that there are other parties that are now showing interest in using this water, and it is likely that we will readvertise for expressions of interest to augment the potential water use that we may get from our remaining proponent.

14.1.2 Speed Limits on Unsealed Roads What is the State Government policy on placing speed limits on unsealed roads?. What is the procedure to challenge the policy?

Officer Response, Tim Hancock, Director Engineering The Department of Planning Transport & Infrastructure (DPTI) is responsible for setting speed limits on roads. In the absence of a posted speed limit, the default speed limits apply. These are: 50km/h in a built up area or 100km/h in non-built up areas.

DPTI’s approach for unsealed roads is generally not to post a speed limit. As such, if the road is not in a built up area, the default limit of 100km/h applies.

DPTI staff have explained that the reason for this position is that it is difficult to assess an appropriate speed limit to apply to unsealed roads, which have regularly changing conditions and where the road geometry regularly varies. Ultimately drivers are required by law to drive at a speed appropriate to the conditions. DPTI’s position on speed limit posting for unsealed roads is consistent with that applied by other road authorities across Australia.

Further, the posting of recommended speeds around bends on unsealed roads is also generally avoided. Again, the condition of unsealed roads varies too much to enable appropriate recommended speeds to be determined. In addition, if speed limits are posted on some unsealed roads, an expectation will arise that speed limits are posted on all unsealed roads.

Mayor 12 June 2012 83 ADELAIDE HILLS COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING TUESDAY 22 MAY 2012 63 MT BARKER ROAD STIRLING

Staff are of the view that DPTI’s position is appropriate for the reasons outlined above.

Should the Council wish to pursue the posting of speed limits and influence DPTI’s position on the matter, it would be appropriate for the matter to be raised with the Minister for Road Safety and the Minister for Transport.

14.1.3 Annual Report What was the outcome of the investigation (including possible savings) into producing an abridged version of the annual report in addition to the statutory annual report? Refer Council minute dated 13 December 2011.

Officer Response – Tim Piper, Director Finance A Summary Annual Report for 2010/11 was produced at a cost of $1270.50 for graphic design (plus staff time) after input from the Annual Report Committee which consisted of Peter Peppin, Tim Piper and Nick Day, and Councillors Jan Loveday, Jan-Claire Wisdom and Kate Hosking.

The completed summary has been placed on Council website. Copies have not been printed for hard copy circulation.

It is anticipated that this model/template will be used into the future, at a similar cost of production, to be placed on Councils website and circulated via email to stakeholders.

In previous years, in accordance with established practice Council paid to have copies of the full report printed for submission to the Ministers office and distribution to other interested parties as follows:

Year Pages Copies Print Cost 2007/08 232 plus cover 200 $2992.00 2008/09 167 plus cover 100 $1749.00 2009/10 192 plus cover 100 $1342.00

For 2010/11, eleven black and white copies (126 pages) were produced ‘in house’, as required, at a cost of $2.42 each.

As a template now exists for the summary annual report, it is expected that the cost to produce future summary reports will be reduced by approximately one third.

For future reports, it is expected that fewer than twenty full printed copies will be required, realising a likely saving for Council in the region of $400.

Has consideration been given to declaring any council sponsored events or outdoor areas smoke free? 5. Who will enforce the legislation? 6. What, if any, are the implications for the 2012/13 budget?

Mayor 24 July 2012 115 ADELAIDE HILLS COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING TUESDAY 10 JULY 2012 36 NAIRNE ROAD WOODSIDE

OFFICER RESPONSE - Chris Button, Manager Health & Regulatory Services

Amendments to the Tobacco Products Legislation came into force on 31 May 2012. These amendments, among other things, made it an offence to smoke at a covered bus stop or within 10 metres of children’s play equipment in a public place.

Responses to the questions on notice are provided below;

1. Council has 29 playgrounds in the Council area. Bus shelters are an asset of the Department of Planning, Transport, & Infrastructure and we do not have records of the precise number of shelters in our area. However, as we do have a maintenance role with these shelters, we are currently conducting a condition audit of bus shelters in the Council area and this process will also provide information on the current number of shelters. 2. Yes the legislation applies to all play equipment in public places. Therefore it is an offence to smoke within 10 metres of play equipment where the public has access.

3. SA Health has launched an awareness campaign informing the public of these changes which includes; a. radio announcements b. notices in The Advertiser, metropolitan and regional newspapers c. communication through schools d. notices in buses, trams and trains and on the Adelaide Metro website e. notices have also been placed in the advertising hoardings of some bus shelters

4. Councils have the ability to declare areas smoke free. Such a declaration can be permanent (requires six months’ notice to the Minister) or temporary for an event (requires three months’ notice to the Minister). No consideration of such declarations has occurred to date.

5. Emphasis has been on educating people about the new smoke-free laws and changing community attitudes. SA Health's aim is to initiate a cultural shift to ensure a high level of compliance, rather than relying on direct enforcement. To date Police Officers and Tobacco Control Officers from SA Health are empowered to enforce the legislation. Councils can apply to have authorised officers under this legislation if they wish. Given that this legislation may be contentious in the first few months of implementation, it has been decided to monitor the compliance with these new rules before considering whether any of our officers should be authorised.

6. There are no implications for the 2012/13 budget.

14.1.2 Rural Property Addressing Cr Herrmann

1. Are there any roads/properties which have not been allocated rural property address numbers? If so, which ones, what are the reasons for the delay and when is the project estimated to be completed? 2. What is the final cost or estimated final cost of the project?

OFFICER RESPONSE – David Waters, Manager, Engineering & Assets

The Rural Property Addressing Program (RPAP) is essentially complete in the Adelaide Hills Council district. All of the roads identified by the (then) Department for Transport, Energy & Infrastructure (DTEI), have had rural addressing applied and address plates installed, in line with the original project scope.

During the project implementation, a number of road sections and individual properties that were deemed to be in street numbering areas (as opposed to rural numbering areas), were found to have not previously been allocated street numbers. While most cases have been addressed, staff continue to work on isolated cases which come to light, to ensure that every property in the district has a numbered address.

In respect to Range Road North and Range Road South, which are partly boundary roads between Adelaide Hills Council and the City of Tea Tree Gully, those properties on the Adelaide Hills Council side were allocated street numbering to match in with the numbering method previously allocated by the City of Tea Tree Gully on its side of the road.

It should be noted that the City of Tea Tree Gully was asked to consider renumbering its side of the road with rural style numbering (which would allow Adelaide Hills Council to do likewise), however, that Council declined to do so on the basis that its residents have long established street addresses and that there was no imperative to change the numbering system. DTEI then confirmed that the Adelaide Hills Council could not adopt a different numbering schema on the opposite side of the road, hence the need to allocate street numbering, rather than rural numbering. All properties along Range Road were advised of this in writing at the time of allocating numbers earlier this year.

The total cost of the program has been approximately $219,000, consisting of $177,000 in materials and contractor costs and around $42,000 in the estimated value of staff time to deliver the program.

14.1.3 Urban Tree Fund Cr Herrmann

1. Has an Urban Tree Fund been established? 2. If so, what is the balance of the fund as at 30 June 2012? 3. How many applicants have contributed to the Fund?

OFFICER RESPONSE - Marc Salver, Director Planning & Development Services

At its meeting on 28 February 2012, Council resolved to establish an Urban Trees Fund pursuant to section 50B of the Development Act 1993 (as amended).

In accordance with Section 50B(1), Council wrote to the Minister of Planning on 20 March 2012 seeking his approval to establish the Urban Trees Fund for our Council. To date we have not received a response. Note that the Department of Planning, Transport & Infrastructure (DPTI) will Gazette the establishment of the Fund for Council once the Minister has approved it. Once gazetted, Council will then be able to collect the required fees and use this for the planting of replacement trees in Council’s reserves and parks outside of high bushfire prone areas.

Therefore no fees in this regard have been collected to date by Council. However, it is noted that applicants applying for removal of significant or regulated trees have been undertaking replacement plantings on their own properties, and therefore were not required to pay the required fee of $75.00 per tree, which increased to $76.50 on 1 July 2012.

14.1.1 Stirling Linear Park buildings 16.6.8 Cr John Kemp

I believe that dialogue has begun with the Hut Community Centre and Conservation Volunteers Australia regarding their current and or proposed use of the buildings at Stirling Linear Park.

It was suggested to me by staff that an Information Report would come to Elected Members on this process and the potential utilisation of these buildings by those organisations.

Has this process begun and when should Elected Members expect the information Report?

Officer Response – Paul Haylock, Manager Property & Building

Following the workshop on Woorabinda buildings, contact has been made both verbally and in writing with the current tenant of the asbestos building, Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA), to indicate that we would like to discuss arrangements with them to manage the Environmental Centre whilst occupying, on an exclusive basis, one of the rooms in that building. Two other rooms will remain available for use by the CVA or other hirers.

A meeting has been requested to define the management arrangements that Council is seeking and to resolve any issues of use. CVA will be offered a suitable Management Agreement and once agreement with CVA is reached, a report will be brought back to Council with a draft Management Agreement to outline the terms for CVA to manage the buildings.

The Hut has also been advised of the approach that Council is taking for the next year, and that the facility is able to be booked through the CVA once those arrangements are in place. In the interim, bookings can still be made with Property staff.

14 Questions / Councillor Reports 14.1 Questions on Notice

14.1.1 Graffiti on private property Cr Malcolm Herrmann

What action can be taken by the council to assist private landowners to get rid of graffiti from buildings?

Officer’s Response – Mr Chris Button, Manager Health & Regulatory Services

Generally Council does not get directly involved with the removal of graffiti from private property. Where such graffiti becomes extensive or detracts significantly from the amenity of the locality, Council staff will contact the property owner and seek the removal of the offending material. In some instances the property owners may be able to arrange assistance from volunteers or community groups, however it is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that the graffiti is removed.

If the property owner is unwilling to rectify the problem Council can use its order making powers under the Local Government Act 1999 to enforce the clean up.

14.1.2 Local Government Workers Compensation Scheme Cr Malcolm Herrmann

For each of the years 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13

1. What was the premium paid to the Local Government Workers Compensation Scheme? 2. How much was received as performance based bonuses? 3. Comment on the trend analysis

Officer’s response –Tim Piper, Acting Chief Executive Officer

The table listed in the agenda summarises the results from 2009/10 to 2012/13. The overall picture for that period is encouraging, and this area has seen a decrease in costs in real terms. This is believed to reflect improved claims rates and several strong Workplace Health & Safety Initiatives during this period.

14.1.3 Barossa Valley Protection Zone Cr Malcolm Herrmann

1.1 Have any replies been received to council’s representations on behalf of Kersbrook residents affected by the Barossa Valley Protection Districts Bill? 1.2 If so, who has replied and what was the nature of those replies?

Officer’s Response – Marc Salver, Director Planning & Development Services

Letters of acknowledgement have been received from the Family First Party, the Hon Russell Wortley MLC, Minister for State/Local Government Relations, and the Hon Gail Gago MLC, Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries. No other responses have been received in this regard.

The Mayor advised that an additional response had been received from the Hon David Ridgway MLC on behalf of the State Liberal, and this letter was read out.

14.1.4 Electronic Waste Cr Malcolm Herrmann

What services and facilities are available to residents who wish to dispose of obsolete television receivers?

Officer’s Response – Chris Button, Manager Health & Regulatory Services

At this stage e-waste cannot be disposed of to land fill. Residents can take their e- waste to the Heathfield Transfer Station (or other transfer stations outside of the Council area) for a fee. This fee is to cover councils’ cost of storage and disposal of this waste. Council will continue to promote e-waste recycling programs when they are available, which is determined by State Government. The most recent of these was at Mt Barker Council in May 2012.

In future Council hopes to benefit from the National Product Stewardship Scheme, which will enable computers and televisions to be recycled for free.

The City of Charles Sturt and DHL Supply Chain have established South Australia’s first Drop-Zone to recycle old TVs and computers for free. This service is for households and small businesses only. People do not need to live or work in the City of Charles Sturt to use this service, so AHC residents who are travelling to this area can also utilise this service.

14 Questions / Councillor Reports 14.1 Questions on Notice 14.1.1 Bushland at Heathfield Depot "What is the status of the bushland portions of the Council Heathfield Depot site? Is it possible to return them to the neighbouring Mark Oliphant Bushland Park?"

Officer’s Response – Paul Haylock, Manager Property & Buildings The land in question is excluded from Community Land classification so it can be dealt with by Council without a formal need for public consultation. My estimate of the process and costs to transfer the land to form part of the Mark Oliphant Conservation Park would include:

1. DENR to request that we consider a transfer of the land 2. Council staff to provide comment on any need for Council to continue to hold the land (eg for purposes associated with operating or expanding Heathfield Depot and Transfer station. 3. Council to pass a resolution defining the land to be transferred 4. Costs to divide the land (to be met by State government?) estimated as $6000 survey excl GST, $581 payable to the Development Assessment Commission, $929 payable to the Lands Titles Office 5. State Government to follow its process to add the land to the Conservation Park

Council should also be aware that the land in question could still have some financial value for redevelopment purposes (subject to planning and development constraints), in which case a transfer would be a real diminution of Council’s assets.

Officer’s Response: Deryn Atkinson, Acting Director Planning & Development Services

On 24 July 2012, Council resolved:

previously forwarded to the Minister for Planning and the DPTI be included in the letter.

The following response was provided on 11 September 2012 to a Question on Notice from Cr Herrmann:

The Mayor advised that an additional response had been received from the Hon David Ridgway MLC on behalf of the State Liberal Party, and this letter was read out.

To date, the following responses have been received:

28/8 The Minister’s office manager indicated that the matter will be bought to Minister Russell Wortley’s (State/Local Government Relations) attention.

31/8 Minister Gail Gago’s (Agriculture, Food & Fisheries) office forwarded the AHC letter to Minister Rau.

5/9 The Leader of the Opposition forwarded the AHC letter to David Ridgway (Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council and Shadow Minister for Urban Development and Planning). This response was read out at the 11 September 2012 meeting and subsequently provided to Councillors.

5/9 Ivan Venning (LIB member for Schubert) commends Council for its position and forwarded the AHC letter to David Ridgway. Mr Venning concurs with the Liberal Party position.

6/9 Robert Brokenshire’s office (Family First) indicated that “Robert has noted the Council’s comments and will take these into consideration during the Parliamentary debate”.

19/9 Michelle Lensink (LIB MLC) understands that David Ridgway will respond on behalf of the Liberal Party.

27/9 Further correspondence from David Ridgway (Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council and Shadow Minister for Urban Development and Planning), attached to the agenda.

Further, the Parliamentary debate 19 September 2012 has resulted in the area north and east of Kersbrook still being included in the Character Preservation (Barossa Valley) Bill 2012. New dwellings in this area on land used primarily for primary production purposes continue to be non-complying development and the Bill states will not be supported.

Mayor 23 October 2012 177 ADELAIDE HILLS COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING TUESDAY 9 OCTOBER 2012 36 NAIRNE ROAD WOODSIDE

14.1.2 CWMS for Inglewood/Houghton Cr Malcolm Herrmann

What is the current status on the investigations into the provision of a CWMS for  Inglewood/Houghton  Has the grant received been fully expended?  If so, what are the findings of the study?  What progress has been made on investigating the most appropriate ongoing management arrangements for CWMS?  Has any assistance been provided by the CWMS user group?

Officer’s Response, David Waters, Manager, Engineering & Assets & Russell King, Team Leader Projects & Technical Services

In 2006/2007 the Council received funding to undertake concept designs and costings for new CWMS schemes for the townships of Mylor, Houghton/Inglewood and Summertown/Uraidla.

The concept designs included possible options for gravity and rising mains, pump stations, and disposal of the collected effluent water. The initial construction cost estimates were quite high and deemed unaffordable by the Council, so no further investigations were carried out and the options did not progress to detailed design.

This year, the matter was re-visited and Walbridge & Gilbert was engaged to review the concept designs and look for alternatives that may be cheaper based on current standards and updated technologies. The brief was also to update the cost estimates to 2012 dollar values.

The work has recently been completed and staff will be in a position to provide the information to Council for review and direction in the near future.

Council needs to be aware, however, that the situation has not changed markedly in the last few years and the Council will be faced with a significant up-front capital outlay if any or all of the new schemes are to be built.

Staff continue to explore options for the ongoing management of CWMS throughout the district, however, the focus to date has been on getting the existing systems into good working order, addressing EPA licencing requirements and seeking potential recipients of treated effluent.

The Council will receive a more detailed report and analysis of CWMS management options in due course. This report will also cover the specific questions raised in more detail.

The newly formed CWMS user group has not been particularly active to date, however, staff have developed relationships outside of that group which has helped progress matters of common interest.

What is the range of penalties for the notices/fines? 3. How do these statistics relate to the state average? 4. How many of the attacks relate to Stirling Linear Park?

Officer’s Response – Dennis Rainsford, Acting Manager Health & Regulatory Services

1. The number of expiations issued for both of the above years was 16. It is not possible for staff to determine whether the attacks are on people or animals as the expiation description for the offence is the same for both harassment and actual bites. 2. The maximum penalty is $2,500. The expiation fee is $210. 3. The Dog and Cat Management Board (DCMB) do not show figures for individual Councils, rather yearly statistics for the whole State. There is currently no state wide percentage system against which Adelaide Hills Council can be measured. 4. Our records indicate no expiations for dog attack harassment have been issued in relation to any incidents in and around Stirling Linear Park.

Officer’s Response – Marc Salver, Director Planning & Development

The consultants have recently finalised the draft Concept Plan options. These options will now be circulated to the affected landowners for their review and comment, after which the Master Plan report will be completed. This is anticipated to occur before Christmas.

14.1.3 Future of Gillman Reserve, Oakbank – Cr Malcolm Herrmann

Can the CEO advise when an informal gathering will be held to consider the options for the future of Gillman Reserve Oakbank prior to the report to council?

Officer’s Response – Paul Haylock, Manager Property & Buildings

Gillman Reserve is Crown Land and is under the care and control of Adelaide Hills Council.

The reserve is currently hired between April and September each year by local schools for Pedal Prix. An adjoining property owner also uses the land for grazing to assist Council to maintain the grass.

There has been interest from various parties in the Gillman Reserve for many years, including the Black Hill Pony Club.

Due to the level and varied nature of interest shown in the Reserve over a long period of time, it is essential that a stakeholder engagement process be undertaken prior to providing a report to Council.

This topic can be considered at an informal gathering in early 2013.
