PUBLIC QUESTION TIME At the Ordinary Council Meeting of 16 April 2009 Mr A J Proctor (Representing the Chamber of Commerce) presented a number of questions which were taken on notice. These questions require further research and a report to Council for positions to be determined. * * * * * A Question submitted from Mr Tony Proctor at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 14 May 2009 was taken on notice. The Question and responses are shown below: Question 6 – Tony Proctor: “The paucity of Development Applications submitted to Council is noted. Is this a reflection on the economic times facing Broome or are development applications being processed under delegated authority? How many development applications have been approved under delegated authority since 1 January 2009 and how many of the applications approved have proceeded to building Licence approvals? What were the comparative figures for 2008?” Answer – Manager Planning Services (14 May 2009): There is only one Development Application at this time, however this is not reflective of the current state of play and more of timing in terms of information/preparation of reports. Statistics on the number of Development Applications decided under delegation and comparisons will be taken on notice and provided by the next meeting. Answer – Director Development Services: The reduced number of development applications being submitted to Council is a result of both the economic climate and the use of delegated authority. This year to the end of April, 15 applications have been approved under delegated authority and 2 by the Council. This compares to 44 under delegated authority and 8 by the Council for the same period last year. In the 12 months to the end of April 2009, 118 applications have been approved under delegated authority and 15 by the Council. Agenda - Ordinary Meeting of Council 9 July 2009 Page 7 We would have to manually search each application to report how many have progressed to a building licence. Not all planning approvals require a building licence and not all building licences require a planning approval. Sometimes the application is made concurrently and sometimes there is a considerable delay between applications so it would be difficult to draw any conclusions from a comparison of the figures. * * * * * At the Ordinary council Meeting on 11 June 2009 Mr Dureau asked a number of questions, with several taken on notice. Questions and responses are shown below. Question 1 - Dave Dureau:
