I Dear Mr. Minister, Re: CITY OF SALE I REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF CITY BOUNDARIES I The Council of the City of Sale hereby makes application for the extension of its municipal area by the annexation of portions of the surrounding Shires of Avon and Rosedale pursuant to Sec. 23 (I) (b) of the Local Government Act. The boundaries of these areas are described in the I attachment. The area requested for addition to the City has been determined as a result of an assessment of future growth and is not an attempt to only annexe an area already receiving the overspill of development. It is an are·a large enough to control all growth requirements for up to I 20 years at present rates of growth and as such is an alternative to more frequent requests for small-scale addltions to the City which usually characterise requests of this type. The request is based on the understanding of the immedi·ate and future development demands of a rapidly growing City. In our view, I it respects the existing rights of the surrounding Shires, but questions the effectiveness of dual control of a . contiguous urban area centred on one functional centre. It also maintains the need for the pre-planning of areas destined to become the future urban components of the city and for a buffer strip adjacent to its urban boundaries. Piecemeal and localised extensions to cope with problems after they exist is not considered a viable base for administrative continuity, nor is it proper to impose on adjacent Shires, the development and servicing I obligations for land ultimately to be sought for armexation by another Local Government Authority. - · The enclosed submission sets out the evidence gathered to illustrate the rapid growth of the various functional components of the City of I Sale and the projections made of area requirements for immediate and future development. · A thorough analysis of the surrounding land sought to be annexed has revealed. its suitabiliy and availability for various forms of urban development and has enabled an accurate assessment of the future shape and extent of the City. I The details of Council's request for annexation have been imparted· to the surrounding Shires affected and they are fully informed of Council's intentions. I Council would welcome the opportunity to present its request 1n detail and would be pleased to provide any further information. I By Order of the Council of the City of Sale the Common Seal of which was affixed . this day of 1.972.
