Letter requesting support for Greener Perth Grant Program

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 1 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

BACKGROUND:

At its Ordinary Council Meeting of 18 June 2019, the Town of Victoria Park resolved to seek support from metropolitan local governments and the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) for the introduction a ’Local Government Greener Perth’ grant program, funded by the State Government.

On 16 July 2019, the Town received a letter from the Mayor of Town of Victoria Park requesting support for this proposal. (Refer Attachment 1)

DETAILS:

Many Local Government Authorities (LGA's) across Perth are seeing a loss of canopy cover of its urban forests, much of which has been due to development of both green field and brown field sites throughout the greater Perth metropolitan area. This outcome has eventuated due to unprecedented population growth and the need to increase population densities and reduce the urban sprawl and thus create sustainable urban communities.

Many of the LGA's throughout Australia are now developing urban forest strategies (UFS) to aid them in identifying opportunities for strategic short, medium and longer term placement of larger canopy trees and diversification of species to aid resilience of the urban forest.

Many of the LGA's who have developed an UFS are aiming for targets of around 20% including Town of Victoria Park who are aspiring to hit this target through the planting of approximately 256,000 new trees in public areas. Each new tree cost about $250 to plant and establishment which includes watering for two years to maximise survival rates costs in the order of $2,250. A budget allocation of $1,000,000 in 2019-20 has been approved by the Town of Victoria Park to facilitate this undertaking.

The Town of Cambridge (the Town) is about to embark on the development of an urban forest strategy. This document will help guide the Town on future opportunities for increasing canopy cover within the local area. The Town has committed $70,000 to park and street tree planting this financial year which will facilitate the planting of approximately 400 new park and street trees. Once the UFS is endorsed by Council the number of new plantings may need to increase each year to offset losses experienced on private land.

The Town of Victoria Park is looking to gain support from all LGA's to lobby the State to develop a funding mechanism (Similar to the 'Five Million Trees for Greater Sydney' grants program) through State Government co-funding of an accelerated tree planting program throughout the greater Perth metropolitan area.

The Town of Victoria Park plans to request the state government establish a 'Local Government Greening Perth' grant program and allocate between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000 per annum to assist LGA's to grow and maintain their urban forests.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

There are no Policy or Statutory Implications related to this report.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

There are no Financial Implications related to this report.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 2 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

STRATEGIC DIRECTION:

This aligns with goal four of the Towns strategic community plan to have neighbourhoods which are well planned, attractive, respectful of the character and responsive to future needs. It also provides background support to our natural environment and the future focus of developing and implementation of an urban forest strategy to increase tree cover.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

This matter has been assessed under the Community Engagement Policy No. 1.2.11 and it deemed no consultation is required.

CR19.75 12 ELIMATTA WAY, CITY BEACH - REQUEST FOR TREE REPLACEMENT

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:

That: Council-

1. NOTES that the tree on the verge outside 12 Elimatta Way, City Beach, is in decline and also encroaches onto private property, therefore posing a safety risk;

2. APPROVES the removal of the tree, for the above reason, subject to;

2.1 The Town writing to, and seeking support for removal, from the owners of 11, 12, 13 and14 Elimatta Way, and the residents of 20 and 22 Boronia Crescent, City Beach;

2.2 No written objection is received those owners;

2.3 The replacement tree is WA Peppermint (Agonis flexuosa) as per the Towns approved Treescape Plan; and

3. If a written objection is received, retains the tree and pruning work is to be undertaken, as recommended in the July 2019 report.

SUMMARY:

This report seeks the Council to consider a proposal to remove the existing Tuart tree from the Verge of 12 Elimatta Way, City Beach, as the tree is in decline. The Tree was inspected by a contractor of the Town and the tree was recommended for retention, however, the Town's officers have been out to site and are of the opinion, the retention of the tree will only delay the expected outcome of further decline resulting in the trees demise. The owner of the property has been consulted and has requested to see a WA Peppermint as the replacement tree, which aligns with the Towns Treescape Plan.

Address/Property Location: 12 Elimatta Way, City Beach Report Date: 6 August 2019 Responsible Officer: Peter Maloney, Acting Director of Infrastructure and Works Reporting Officer: Andrew Head, Manager of Parks and Natural Environment Contributing Officer: Nil Reporting Officer Interest: Nil Attachment(s): 1. 12 Elimatta Way CTS tree report 2. 12 Elimatta Way TOC tree report

BACKGROUND:

A Large Tuart tree (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) on the verge of 12 Elimatta Way, City Beach is in decline. The resident has requested that the tree be inspected to ensure the tree doesn’t pose a risk to their property and the public. The tree significantly encroaches onto private property and poses a safety risk.

In 2016-17, the tree was given stem implants of nutrient (MEDICAP) to improve overall health and vitality to the tree. The response by the tree has been mediocre at best with the greatest recovery in the section of canopy to the east which is slowly starting to bifurcate from the main stem (As can be seen from the adventitious root which is developing in the union).

The tree was inspected in June 2019 by the Town's Contractor, Classic Tree Services and the tree was recommended for retention, subject to removal of all dead wood greater than 40mm.

DETAILS:

The Town's Officers have been out to site to peer review the report by Classic Tree Services and believe that the work recommended will only serve to delay the expected outcome of further decline resulting in the trees' demise.

The majority of the trees canopy has senesced to the point it provides very limited life as a shade tree. The only relatively healthy section of the canopy is the branch which is starting to separate from the main stem (On the property side and leeward side of the strong south westerly winds) which could fail and fall towards the property.

Using the Australian Standard for amenity tree pruning (AS 4373:2017) as a guide this potential risk above is hard to mitigate without impacting the health and vigour of the tree in the short, medium and longer term due to the extensive limb removal required.

The Town asked the owner of the property if they would be supportive of replacing the tree like for like however there is no appetite for this and the owner would prefer to see a WA Peppermint (Agonis flexuosa) as the replacement tree as per the Towns Treescape Plan.

The officers believe that the required dead wooding of this tree is likely to cost as much as the removal of the tree and that this is now the time to decide if this tree should be replaced in light of the current health and structural issue identified.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 5 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

Policy 5.1.3 Management of Street trees in relation to tree removal states that the Town will;

i. Remove, as required, dead or dying trees; ii. Remove a live and healthy street tree only as a last resort, after all other management options have been exhausted and after the establishment of sufficient justification, the completion of a street tree risk assessment report and approval by the Manager of Infrastructure Parks; iii. Prior to removing the tree in (ii) above, advise the residents, living close to the tree, (approximately six), of the reasons for its removal; iv. Only consider a street tree removal request from the public if received in writing (hard copy or electronic)

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

The identified pruning or entire removal of this tree is likely to be in the order of $1,000. The replacement tree will be $2,500 for planting and two years establishment. All of this work could be accommodated within existing budget allocations.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION:

The Strategic Community Plan Strategy 4.3, aspires to make our neighbourhoods green and pleasant by increasing the visual appeal of our street landscape and verges and, at the same time, also advises to increase the overall tree canopy in our streets.

This proposed tree replacement will increase the visual appeal of the streetscape but will impact the existing tree canopy cover for the next 10-15 years as the new tree matures to full canopy size.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

This matter has been assessed under the Community Engagement Policy No. 1.2.11 and it deemed no consultation is required however in this case it is recommended the Town write to the six nearby residents (as per Policy 5.1.3 Management of Street Trees) advising them of the outcome (If approved) to remove the tree and replace with an Agonis flexuosa.

Address/Property Location: Lake Monger Reserve Report Date: 7 August 2019 Responsible Officer: Peter Maloney, Acting Director Infrastructure and Works Reporting Officer: Andrew Head, Manager Parks and Natural Environment Contributing Officer: Richard Treanor, Senior Landscape Officer (former) John Giorgi, JP, Chief Executive Officer Reporting Officer Interest: Nil Attachments: 1. Lake Monger Dog Exercise Area Concept Plan 2. Consultation summary

BACKGROUND:

At its meeting held on Tuesday 25 September 2018, Council endorsed the Lake Monger Activity Plan and Implementation Program as presented in report CR18.144. The Lake Monger Activity Plan identifies the Southeast corner of Lake Monger Reserve as a dog exercise area. The Council decided, in part, that Council:

9. REQUESTS a report be submitted to the Council by no later than December 2018 detailing concept designs for the fenced dog exercise area for endorsement to go to broader community consultation;

After the Council Meeting, signs were placed in Cowden Park and other locations around Lake Monger inviting park users "to be a part of a working group providing initial input and feedback on preliminary ideas" before broader community engagement being carried out.

On 17 October 2018, representatives of the Town met with approximately ten people including the Mayor and Elected Members at Lake Monger Reserve to discuss the project, which facilitated discussion regarding project context, site opportunities and constraints, examples of other similar projects and potential elements that could be considered in current or potential future stages of the project.

On 18 December 2018, a report was presented to Council with the attached draft concept plan, seeking approval to go out to public consultation. The Council decided: -

That Council:-

1. RECEIVES the Lake Monger Dog Exercise Area Concept Plan; 2. APPROVES the advertising of the Lake Monger Dog Exercise Concept Plan for public comment in February 2019; and 3. NOTES that a further report on the outcome of the public consultation will be submitted to Council at the conclusion of the public consultation period.

A four week public comment period was undertaken in May 2019 and was advertised in the Town's community news page and website. Signs placed at Lake Monger and Cowden Park showing the Plan and providing details for how to submit feedback.

The Concept Plan was made available for review/collection at the Town of Cambridge Administration Centre, Cambridge Library and the Town's website and was emailed to those that provided their contact details during previous consultation on the Lake Monger Activity Plan and dog exercise area.

The public consultation period feedback has been compiled, consolidated and attached to this report.

Respondents were asked to select their first three preferences for consideration as part of the upgrade. The feedback clearly identified in order of priorities that drinking fountains, floodlights, fencing, bins, agility training equipment, seating and additional trees were nominated by the community as being the most important elements.

The concept layout plan (Provided in Attachment 1) illustrated the functional arrangement proposed for the dog exercise areas.

The proposed addition of a significant amount of fencing on the Reserve was a contributing factor in the final design. The original concept would have had a significant visual impact on the wide open space and would be visually intrusive.

It's proposed that a minimalist staged approach be applied to the project. A low height fence along Lake Monger Drive is recommended. If the need arises, the fencing can be included in the future. It is recommended that the fencing works occur in conjunction with the installation of an additional dog friendly drink fountain. The budget allocation for this project will be fully expended supplying all fences and a new drink fountain to the site. If the fencing for the original concept was proceeded with, additional budget would be required for seating and bin facilities to ensure all required furniture is in place.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 9 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

One way to overcome this need for additional budget would be to partially fence (along Lake Monger Drive and marked as 1a) as shown on Attachment 1 (and marked as 1b) initially with formalised car park and support infrastructure to be reviewed and considered at later stages. This would then allow the supply and installation of two benches, two entry gates, another bin, dog waste bag holder and an additional drink fountain. The fencing will not be designed to prevent every dog escaping (Only 1.2 metres high) but will be used to discourage the majority of dogs roaming onto the busy nearby road.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

No approval will be required for these works.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

The Town has an amount of $65,000 in the 2018/2019 budget towards fenced dog exercise areas in Lake Monger Reserve. This has been identified as a carry forward into the 2019/2020 Budget.

Preliminary estimates indicate the fencing and entry points would be in the order of around $65,000 if fully installed as per the original consultation plan and carried out within budget. This would leave no remaining budget to install any other essential facilities.

The alternative staged approach would be to only fence the section along Lake Monger Drive and close in the smaller area of 2400 square metres which would then allow for the installation of the other critical infrastructure.

Stage 1

a) 230 metres of fencing along Lake Monger Drive (marked as 1a) will cost $28,000 b) Dog friendly drink fountain is estimated to cost $10,000 c) Two park benches on pads is estimated to cost $5,000 d) Park bin with dog waste holder will cost $1,000 e) Signage on both entries will cost around $1,000

Future stages could include supply and installation of parking facilities, connecting path network, dog agility training equipment and a review of lighting needs.

Possible Future Stages

• 104 metres of fencing and two entry gates to enclose 2400 square metre area (marked as 1b) will cost $15,000 • Car Park upgrade indicatively will cost $5,000 per car bay (number of car bays still to be determined, subject to detailed design and scope) • Agility training equipment will cost $15,000 (subject to detailed design and scope) • Lighting of the facility will cost approximately $15,000 for design and installation, approximately $4,000 per light (number of lights to be determined subject to detailed design)

The additional operational costs will be monitored throughout 2019/20 to determine future need to increase operational budget allocations.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 10 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

STRATEGIC DIRECTION:

The report recommendation embraces the following strategies of the Town's Strategic Community Plan 2018-2028:

Goal 1: A sense of community, pride and belonging Strategy 1.1 Encourage and support participation in a range of public activities and events where residents can gather and interact Strategy 1.2 Promote our strong community identity and focus our responses on the needs of local residents, businesses and ratepayers

Goal 2: Quality local parks and open spaces for the community to enjoy Strategy 2.1 Adopt a more strategic and coordinated approach to the planning of our parks and greenspaces recognising their diverse roles and local community preferences Strategy 2.2 Improve the maintenance and provision of amenities in our local parks and district open spaces reflecting local values and priorities and the broader regional demand on facilities

Goal 3: An active, safe and inclusive community Strategy 3.1 Focus on improving and expanding those places where community groups interact to encourage greater participation Strategy 3.3 Encourage a range of activities that better align with the diverse needs of ratepayers of all ages, cultures and abilities Strategy 3.4 Act to create and maintain safe, friendly and open environments that residents can access and enjoy

Goal 4: Neighbourhoods where individual character and quality is respected, and planning is responsive to residents Strategy 4.4 Enhance and respect our existing streetscapes, setbacks and green spaces

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

This matter has been assessed under the Community Engagement Policy No 1.2.11 as requiring a community consultation level of "Consult".

The consultation process included a four week public comment period in 2019 (outside of school holidays) was advertised in the Town's community news page and website. The Concept Plan was made available for review/collection at the Town of Cambridge Administration Centre, Cambridge Library and the Town's website. The Concept Plan was emailed to those that provided their contact details during previous consultation on the Lake Monger Activity Plan and signs were placed at Lake Monger and Cowden Park showing the Plan and providing details for how to submit feedback.

BACKGROUND:

All Local Governments in have been requested by Main Roads WA (MRWA) to review their respective road networks and consider submitting viable projects for the 2020-2021 Black Spot Program.

The Black Spot Program is aimed at supporting the obligation placed on Local Governments to investigate possible safety improvements on roads under their control.

The Black Spot funding grants are divided into:-

(i) National Black Spot grants (urban areas): Fully funded projects that satisfy the criteria of a minimum of three casualty crashes over the last five years for intersections and mid-block short road sections; (ii) State Black Spot grants (urban areas): Funded 2/3 by the State Government and 1/3 by the local Government that satisfy the criteria of five crashes over the last five years for intersections and mid-block short road sections.

Casualty crashes are defined as crashes involving either a fatality or persons admitted to hospital or medical treatment.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 13 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

The treatment (or treatments) selected for each location must address the safety problem in the most cost effective manner and typically include some of the following counter measures:

• Road alignment improvements; • Signing and delineation improvements; • Installation or modification of traffic light signals; • Construction of roundabouts; • Installation of pedestrian signals; • Speed control measures; • Installation of splitter or traffic islands; and • Provision of better sight lines.

Submissions from all Local Governments are ranked in accordance with their Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) and projects with the highest BCR are funded.

Alternatively, Road Safety Audit (RSA) submissions can also be considered for intersections and short lengths of road following the assessment by an independent audit team. The road safety audits completed by Council's are then ranked by Main Roads WA (MRWA) in terms of a risk analysis criteria.

DETAILS:

A review of the Town's road network has been completed based on information provided by Main Roads WA relating to crash data during the five year reporting period 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2018.

The long term effectiveness of this Blackspot Program can be seen by the downward trend in reported crashes between the five year periods ending 2011 and 2018, across the Town's road network.

The proposed submissions for the Black Spot 2020-2020 program are:-

No. LOCATION/PROJECT TREATMENT COST STATE LGA BENEFIT GOVT COST RATIO 1 Bold Park Drive/ Oceanic Install traffic island $51,000 $34,000 $17,000 1.15 Drive in Bold Park Drive and reinforce priority signage with two Give Way signs 2 Crosby Street/ Grantham Install traffic islands $54,000 $36,000 $18,000 1.39 Street north and south.

4 Perry Lakes Drive/ Create left and right $81,000 $54,000 $27,000 1.66 Oceanic Drive turn lanes on Perry Lakes Drive. Remove large pine tree on south-east corner to improve sight lines westwards.

An analysis of the existing and proposed treatments above is outlined below.

1. Bold Park Drive/Oceanic Drive:

The nature of the concern at this intersection is that motorists are failing to adhere to give way at the intersection. 9 crashes have been reported over the last five years 2014-2018. There is a lack of intersection definition. It is proposed to reinforce this intersection for motorists by installing an island and constructing a nib on the northern side of Oceanic Drive east of the intersection. This is illustrated below however this proposed concept design can be seen more clearly in attachment 1.

2. Crosby Street/Grantham Street:

The Crosby Street intersection is a large intersection with good sight distances. From the crash reports it has been deduced that Motorists are driving through the intersection and causing right angle crashes. There have been 7 reported crashes over the last 5 years 2014-2018. It is proposed to reinforce the priority messaging to motorists by installing traffic islands north and south along Crosby Street and double up the stop signs. The concept design below demonstrates the proposed Black Spot treatment (attachment 2).

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 15 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

3. Kimberley Street/Lake Monger Drive:

It was noted that most of the crashes are rear end crashes in Kimberley Street, possibly due to congestion and the downhill grade. In addition the pedestrian alignment through the intersection is also undesirable and requires rectification. 25 crashes were reported at this intersection over the 5 year period 2014-2018. 5 of these crashes were notably casualty type crashes.

It is suggested that a design which incorporates installing a protected right turn island may mitigate a number of the crashes at Kimberley Street/Lake Monger Drive. In addition, an improved pedestrian crossing is proposed which will assist the travel paths of the community.

It is expected that the Black Spot proposal would involve the loss of 3 trees to the east on the park verge as road widening is required in order to effectively achieve this treatment. It is worth noting that the tree in the North West corner of the park is a Brazilian Pepper (Schinus) which will be severely impacted in the proposed design. Further to this, two other trees, those being a Bottlebrush (Callistemon) and a Flame Tree (Erythrina) will require removal to achieve the required road alignment.

The concept design below outlines the proposed Black Spot treatment (attachment 3).

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 17 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

4. Perry Lakes Drive/Oceanic Drive:

The crash data from 2014-2018 shows 8 reported crashes for the intersection of Perry Lakes Drive and Oceanic Drive. Rear end crashes in Perry Lakes Drive are likely due to congestion and the large Pine tree restricting sight distances and or causing motorists to drive to far forward then stopping in line of Oceanic Drive traffic flow.

It is proposed to widen the eastern side and modify the intersection seagull island whilst also improving sight distances for motorists by removing the Pine tree to the east. The effect of these treatments should address safety and operational traffic flow issues with the creation of the left turn pocket along Perry Lakes Drive.

The proposed concept design is shown below and more clearly in attachment 4.

In order to retain the Large Monterey Pine (Pinus), concept designs were also considered, by examining the widening of the western side which similarly impacted on the loss of a mature Tuart (Eucalyptus). This alternative did not provide as many benefits to the safety and cost of the intersection as the above proposal shows in attachment 4.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

Policy No. 5.2.17(a) 'Road Design Standards' indicates that "design and construction be compatible with best modern practice and design".

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

There are no Financial Implications related to this report in this current Financial Year. Subject to the Council approval and Main Roads WA approval for these projects, the funding will be 1/3 Local Government and 2/3 State Government in the 2020-2021 Financial Year.

Proposed Changes to Challenger Parade Concept Plan 2. Overall Layout Plan

BACKGROUND:

At the Council meeting held on 23 July 2019 (Item 12.1 City Beach Pedestrian Works - Request for Progress Report), it was decided that:-

Council DIRECTS the CEO to provide:

1. A report to the August 2019 meeting on the status of the City Beach Pedestrian Works Project and funding as approved at the 22 May 2018 Ordinary Council Meeting; and

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 20 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

2. A project plan, including a timeline, to relocate the bus stop(s) from Challenger Parade to Fred Burton Way and install new shelter(s) by no later than 30 September 2019.

At its meeting held on 22 May 2018, Council resolved that:

(i) The following options for the proposed changes to Challenger Parade pedestrian and traffic calming works, as presented in the community survey undertaken in March 2018, to be endorsed:

(a) Option 1 relocation of bus stops and associated works; (b) Option 2 installation of new medians and pedestrian refuges; (c) Option 3 closure of existing southern entry/exit to Fred Burton carpark from Challenger Parade and associated works; (d) Option 4 closure of existing southern entry/exit to main beach car park and associated works; (e) Option 5 improvements to existing northern entry/exit to main beach car park; (f) Option 7 new footpath connections from Challenger Parade to Clancy's and beach; (g) Option 8 traffic calming measures on Challenger Parade and (subject to Main Roads approval) implement 40 kmh speed zone; and (h) Option 9 close existing northern exit from Fred Burton Carpark at Challenger Parade and associated works;

(ii) Design works commence on Options 1,2, 3, 4,5 and 9;

(iii) Funding be included in the draft 2018/2019 budget for:

(a) Construction of Options 1,2,3,4, 5 & 9; (b) Design and Construction of Option 8; (c) Design and Construction of Option 7; and

(iv) Detail design works include review and appropriate measures to deal with comments received regarding car park layout, traffic flow and cyclist issues.

These concept options were illustrated in the CR18.76 report attachment and reproduced as attachment 1 to this report. This was approved by Council 22 May 2018, with exception of option 6.

DETAILS:

The overall design of the project, Drawing SK-C-0012, is provided as Attachment 2 to this report. The status of incorporating the original design concepts, approved by Council in May 2018, into this design drawing are as follows:

Option 1 - Relocation of Bus Stops and Associated Works

The Town liaised with the Public Transport Authority (PTA) and investigated relocating three bus stops from Challenger Parade to the western side of Fred Burton Way. The PTA refused this on the grounds that the bus movements would involve significant deviation and right hand turns in order to get back onto their routes.

The Administration then investigated relocating the Challenger Parade bus stops to inside the Fred Burton car park. This proved unsatisfactory to PTA in their advice that they require three bus stops that are Universal Access and passengers can transfer from one bus to another before each bus heads off to different schools.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 21 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

The Administration then investigated constructing an embayed area for the bus stops on the eastern side of Fred Burton Way. The bays will require bus hard stand areas, new kerbing and a footpath to connect the proposed bus stops. This path is proposed to extend to the existing footpath on the northern side of Oceanic Drive. So far, this is the only proposal to be accepted by PTA and is shown on the design drawing SK-C0012.

Option 2 installation of new medians and pedestrian refuges

North bound and south bound traffic is channelised with a raised central median that incorporates trees. The central median has been extended to provide additional locations for pedestrians to cross, traffic calming, and prevent U-turns in this zone.

The design has retained the redundant bus bay on the western side of Challenger Parade opposite Fred Burton car park so that it may be used as a future short stay drop-off - pick-up zone for tourist/party buses.

Option 3 closure of existing southern entry/exit to Fred Burton car park from Challenger Parade and associated works

The design incorporates traffic calming treatments and pedestrian at grade crossings which links with the City Beach facilities to the west.

Option 4 closure of existing southern entry/exit to main beach car park and associated works

The design has modified the original option to improve safety and management of service vehicles exiting Odyssey, Rise and Hamptons. The original concept indicated a complete closure of entry and exit at this location. The design provides a left turn exit only for vehicles using the access road adjacent to the restaurants. This modification will eliminate potential conflicts of service and heavy vehicles driving through the car park. A better pedestrian route is provided on both sides of this exit.

Option 5 - improvements to existing northern entry/exit to main beach car park

The design has modified the original option by including a pedestrian refuge island at the intersection to the main carpark to separate the two exit lanes from the one entry lane.

Option 7 - new footpath connection from Challenger Parade to Clancy's and beach

This option has been incorporated directly into the design by the removal of the narrow vehicle access driveway. More pedestrian links can be incorporated in the re-design of the two kidney shaped car parks and the rectangular car park between Clancy’s and the 3 restaurant facilities that is funded in the 2019/20 Budget

Option 8 - traffic calming measures on Challenger Parade and (subject to Main Roads approval) implement 40 km/h speed zone

The current speed zone is 50 km/h south of the Fred Burton car-park pedestrian entry and 60 km/h north of the Fred Burton car-park pedestrian entry. The design uses the extended channelisation to reduce vehicle speeds in this pedestrian featured area. It is proposed that Main Roads WA is approached to consider rezoning the section of Challenger Parade adjacent to the car-parks, as a 40 km/h speed zone. This will require a road-safety audit and further traffic calming measures, such as rubber speed cushions that can be retro-fitted to the completed project if necessary. If not approved, then the administration will request that

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 22 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

the existing 50km/h zone is extended northwards to the entry of the northern kidney car- park.

Option 9 - close existing northern exit from Fred Burton Carpark at Challenger Parade and associated works

This option is included in the design as a "left-in /right-in only entry" from Challenger Parade. It allows for the entry of articulated buses from Challenger Parade that are heading towards the three bus bays on Fred Burton Way.

The preliminary design makes provision for:

Pay rates

BACKGROUND:

A Notice of Motion (12.1) was presented to the 25 June 2019 Council Meeting, where it was stated that:

Consistent with our Locals First policy the Town should be seeking to:

(a) Use locals to provide casual staffing for the Quarry Amphitheatre. The amount of $41.00 per hour is excessive for hirers to pay for unskilled staff. (b) Encourage local businesses to tender for contracts with the Town; (c) Encourage local residents to be employed with the Town.

Details in relation to (a) to (c) are outlined below.

DETAILS:

Pay rates for Ushers at the Quarry Amphitheatre (QA)

1. Quarry Amphitheatre Staffing

QA staff, including casuals, are currently employed under the Town of Cambridge Collective Agreement 2018. Under this Agreement, rates of pay are defined in Table 1 of the attachment outlining pay rates. The minimum rate of pay, except for trainees and apprentices, is the entry point of Grade 1.

Ushers are paid Grade 1 entry level plus casual loading of 25%. Ushers under the age of 20 are paid a proportion percentage of the minimum rate of Grade 1 (Item 8.4, 2018 Town of Cambridge Collective Agreement), as outlined in Table 2 of the attachment.

In addition, as defined in the Collective Agreement (9.3g), penalty rates apply to hours worked outside of ordinary hours. The Collective Agreement (9.1a) defines ordinary hours of work for Quarry staff as being between 8.00am and 10.00pm, Monday to Sunday. The applicable penalty rates outlined in 9.3(g) of the Collective Agreement are:

(i) Monday to Friday - 20% loading for each part hour worked outside the span of hours under clause 9.1 (a); (ii) Saturday - 50% loading for each part hour worked; and (iii) Sunday - 75% loading for each part hour worked

Note - loading is calculated on the base rate.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 29 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

Ushers work the majority of their hours during ordinary hours i.e. Monday to Sunday, between the hours of 8am and 10.00pm. During the 2018/2019 season, ushers worked approximately 8% of their time outside of ordinary hours, and this was mainly for WA Ballet performances.

Table 3 in the attachment lists the current rates of pay, the current cost recovery charged to the hirer, and the difference between the two.

2. Alternatives to the Collective Agreement

2.1. A separate agreement for QA staff

Current employees are covered under the Town of Cambridge Collective Agreement 2018; however, a separate agreement could be entered into with QA staff, similar to that for pro shop staff at the Wembley Golf Course.

Any new agreement would need to be submitted to the Fair Work Commission and undergo the Better Off Overall Test (BOOT). The Commission must be satisfied that each award covered or prospective employee would be better off overall if the agreement applied to the employee, than if the relevant modern award applied.

2.2. Trainees

Under the Collective Agreement 2018, the minimum rate of pay is the entry point of Grade one within the Schedule 1 classification structure of the Agreement (Table 1 in the attachment) except for employees under the age of 20, and trainees and apprentices. However, as defined in the Agreement, this applies to apprentices and trainees employed under either a Commonwealth or State Government system and therefore is not applicable to QA employees.

2.3. Recruitment

There is the opportunity to consider the age and location of our pool of casual ushers.

Recruitment for the 2019/20 season staff will commence during August 2019 and the Administration could advertise vacancies to include wording that would attract candidates from within the Town who fall into the lower age bracket of 20 years and under, with relative pay rates as outlined in Table Two of the attachment. However, as seen in Table 4 of the attachment a 16 year old employee, and therefore older employees, are paid above $25 per hour outside of ordinary hours on a weekend.

For the purposes of Occupational Health and Safety, and because alcohol is served and consumed on site (Note: QA is a BYO venue), it is recommended that casual employees at the QA are at least 18 years of age. Pay rates for this age group are displayed in Table 5.

Encourage local businesses to tender for contracts within the Town

As part of the Town's procurement processes, all Request for Quote (RFQ) and Request for Tender (RFT) document templates require respondents to address, under the Qualitative Criteria section, the "Social and Economic Effects on the Local Community" which carries a weighting of 5% to the overall evaluation process.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 30 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

Under this criteria, respondents are advised:

• The Town encourages the involvement of local business. Respondents are to provide information on how, if successful, their involvement would provide social and economic benefits to the broader local community within the Town.

It needs to be noted that this criteria is contained in the templates, however, not every RFQ or RFT issued will use it, as there may not be a service and/or product provider within the Town of Cambridge. To include this criteria, when it has been identified there are no such providers within the Town, would make the evaluation process on this criteria pointless. As an example, the Wembley Golf Course RFT, seeking specific golf course machinery for their operations, does not include this particular criteria as there are no service/goods providers within the Town's boundaries.

Increased Local Workforce

As has been outlined in relation to the recruitment of QA staff, there is an opportunity for the all job advertisements to be updated to reflect wording that encourages candidates from within the Town to apply for these roles. Suggested taglines could include reference to:-

• Working in your local area • Working within your community • Working close to home • Working at one of the Town's unique locations.

In considering any changes to the advertisements or general recruitment, as per Human Resources Policies and Management Practices, 1.1 Recruitment and Selection - Management Practice and Guidelines, equal opportunity, anti-discrimination and procedural fairness principles must be adhered to.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

Necessary funds have been allocated in the 2019/2020 adopted budget for staff costs at the Quarry Amphitheatre.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION:

The report recommendation supports a number of priority areas and goals of the Town's Strategic Community Plan 2018 - 2028 specifically:

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 33 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

BACKGROUND:

The Town provides a comprehensive calendar of events over the summer period which is well patronised by the local community. All major annual events, including the Christmas Festival and Australia Day Festival, were held with great success and saw excellent attendance numbers with around 4,000 people attending the Christmas Festival at Lake Monger and 2,500 attending the Australia Day celebrations. The Town's Cambridge Street Festival continued to be a popular event, in its fifth year, engaging community groups and community businesses and attracting approximately 10,000 people over the five hours, with over 60 market, community and food stalls, roaming entertainment and a stage entertainment program.

DETAILS:

1. Continuation of the major community events and function.

The following events have been very popular with the local community and are recommended to continue in 2019/2020:

1. Christmas Festival at Lake Monger; 2. Australia Day Festival; 3. The Cambridge Street Festival; 4. ANZAC Day Ceremony & Community Breakfast; and 5. Community Awards and Volunteer Recognition Function.

2. Discontinuation of "Music in the Park" events to provide partnering opportunities for events run by not-for-profit groups that benefit the Town's local residents and activate local spaces.

As it is proposed to maintain the same Festivals and Events budget as the previous two years ($240,000 including $24,000 of unconfirmed grant funding provided by Lotterywest), the Administration has considered ways to deliver more events to the local community, without compromising quality but ensuring increased engagement by local residents and community groups.

The Town provided two Music in the Park events over the 2018/2019 Summer season. The first event was held on Sunday, 25 November 2018 at Rutter Park in Wembley. The second event was held on Sunday, 31 March 2019 at Beecroft Park in City Beach. Each event ran well with attendance numbers averaging around 200-300 at each event. The combined cost of these was approximately $15,000.

The Music in the Park events were relatively successful, however it is proposed they be discontinued and the funds reallocated to provide not-for-profit community groups the opportunity to partner with the Town to deliver medium to large events for the local community. By partnering with local not-for-profit groups, social capital is delivered through encouraging social interaction and improving the way our local community interact, collaborate, and cooperate. In addition, opening the partnership opportunity to not-for-profit groups outside of the Town, increases the potential to deliver a broader range of event, activity and program opportunities to the local community, whilst supporting activation of the Town's wonderful outdoor spaces.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 34 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

Although the Town already offers a Community Development Grant to assist local not for profit groups to run events, these funds ($8,000) are exhausted very quickly and only provide for the following three levels of funding:

1. Large events or projects (attracting 500+ community members) - funding up to $2,000 2. Medium size events (attracting 100+ community members) - funding up to $1,000 3. Small community or club events (attracting up to 100 community members) - funding up to $250

It is suggested that the Town offer, as a 12-month trial, the opportunity for local not-for-profit groups to access a pool of $20,000 as part of the Community Event Partnership program to deliver high quality events within the local area. Funds can be accommodated within the 2019/2020 Events Budget.

The , and run similar community partnership programs to the Community Event partnership being proposed. These programs have successfully delivered positive benefits to each of their local areas including increased vibrancy and a culturally rich community.

The Town has already been approached by the City Beach Activation Association regarding partnership opportunities for community events including, but not limited to, a family New Years Eve event at City Beach foreshore, an International Sandcastle Building Competition and a Festival of Lights event at Christmas. The Town has also previously received a request for a "Music in the Park" style event from the West Leederville Residents Association, so these additional funds would enable these local groups to partner with the Town in delivering an event that they know their local community will appreciate and enjoy, whilst building social capital.

In line with the Town's Community Funding Policy, all groups applying for funds under the Community Event Partnership program would be subject to the relevant funding conditions, grant guidelines and selection criteria and all applications would require endorsement by Council as Category 2 events. As this is only a 12-month trial, no amendments would be made to the Community Funding Policy until the program is endorsed by Council post the trial period.

3. Promotion

After feedback at each of the community events in 2018/2019, the following promotion will be undertaken for 2019/2020:

1. Facebook 2. Instagram 3. Promotion at all local schools 4. Full and Quarter Page Advertisements (Post Newspaper) 5. Notifications to surrounding residents

As a result of community feedback, there will be an increased presence on Social Media for the coming 2019/2020 Summer event season.

4. Proposed 2019/2020 Calendar of Events

Below is the proposed 2019/2020 calendar of events, outlining dates, expected attendance numbers and the proposed expenditure associated with each event.

Letters of support from other City of Subiaco, and the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority 2. Proposal for Sunset Wine & Brews at Jubilee Park, submitted by CMS Events. 3. Letter of support from the City Beach Activation Association

BACKGROUND:

On May 30 2019, the Town received a proposal from CMS Events in relation to the possibility of holding its annual Sunset Wine & Brews at Jubilee Park in City Beach as part of their Wine and Food Series for Western Australia.

Sunset Wine & Brews will celebrate its seventh year in 2020 and has well established the culture of good wine and food on WA’s iconic coastline. With around 3,000 visitors and 40 companies contributing to its success, the event organisers are now investigating the opportunity to expand the event at a new location at Jubilee Park in City Beach.

DETAILS:

Sunset Wine & Brews is part of CMS Events’ Wine and Food Series for Western Australia. It targets a high socio-economic profile audience with a focus on the central and northern coastal suburbs with attendance controlled through marketing and price point. The event remains boutique in its size and nature and caters for WA wineries, craft brewers and ciders. The event is held just before harvest in WA with many wineries looking to finalise their marketing activities in the second half of the financial year.

The festival is staged from mid-afternoon through to the early evening allowing people to enjoy the cooling afternoon of summer and watch a magnificent sunset. Patrons are able to taste wines, purchase glasses for onsite consumption, buy bottles for taking away or place orders for home delivery. Food will be available for purchase (snacks and meals) and a variety of entertainment (low level amplified acoustic) will be provided.

The presentation of the site will include individual marquee booths, larger shared marquee spaces, entertainment, themed areas and a Sunset Balcony. To promote a culture of enjoyment and a relaxed atmosphere, the layout will have a picnic by the beach feel, providing a festival where friends and family can meet for an afternoon out. Main areas will include a central wine avenue, craft beer and precincts, food outlets (both under marquee and vans), a Rosé Retreat, picnic lawn, Beachside Lounge and the Sunset Balcony.

The event is proposed to be run over thee days in 2020:

Friday, 7 February 4.00pm – 9.00pm Saturday, 8 February 2.00pm – 8.00pm Sunday, 9 February 2.00pm – 8.00pm

Bump In: Wednesday, 5 February Bump Out: Monday, 10 February

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 39 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

CMS Events have run similar boutique food and wine events throughout the metropolitan area and in the Great Southern, with very positive feedback from City of Subiaco, City of Albany and the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (see Attachment 1). The City of Subiaco event in particular is held in close proximity to local residents with minimal to no disruption of the local amenity.

CMS have a long history of over 25 years of delivering innovative and successful events throughout Western Australian. The preliminary documentation provided to the Town for the proposed event includes:

• Event Management Plan detailing event description and overview, direction and vision communications, marketing and site plan. • Parking Management (extract from full Risk Management and Event Plan) • Local Resident Management Plan (extract from full Risk Management and Event Plan)

All documentation is very comprehensive, well considered and professional; and covers the majority of conditions that the Town would impose on CMS if they were given support to conduct the event (see Attachment 2).

It should be noted that Jubilee Park is occasionally used for over-flow parking during peak Summer periods and if the event was to go ahead, this space would not be available to facilitate any additional parking requirements from general beach or restaurant precinct patrons. Patrons of the event that choose to drive would however be able to utilise this space, reducing impact on the surrounding hardstand car parking bays along the foreshore and at Fred Burton Drive.

The newly formed not for profit group City Beach Activation Association, which incorporates the City Beach foreshore business owners of Odyssea Beach Café, the Hamptons and Clancy's Fish Bar along with the Surf Lifesaving Club, have provided their support for the event (see Attachment 3).

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

This report is guided by Council's Policy 2.1.19 - Conduct of Special Events, Concerts, Parties and large Public Events under Category 2 - Extraordinary Events.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

There are no Financial Implications related to this report. All associated costs with any proposed event are the responsibility of CMS Events, who are aware that fees and charges may be applicable and may be imposed at the Town's discretion.

The total hire fee that would be associated with the event as based on 2019/2020 Fees and Charges - Sportsgrounds and Reserve Fees would be $6,423.00 based on the following charges:

2 Days x Bump-In and Bump-Out @ $403.50/day = $ 807.00 3 Days x Heavy Commercial Rate @ $1,872/day = $5,616.00

A reserve bond of $3,000 would also be required.

DETAILS:

Perry Lakes Utopian nights aims to bring communities together including young families, retirees, and an emerging workforce by providing an iconic summer event, attracting the best quality food trucks and retail market stalls in the picturesque location of Perry Lakes Reserve.

The event would run every Friday night from October 2019 through to April 2020. However, a six week trial period leading up to Christmas would be undertaken first to gauge the viability of the event. A four week break over the Christmas period would be undertaken from 20 December through to 10 January and if the six week trial period is a success, the weekly Friday night event would resume on 17 January 2020.

Invitations would be extended to Perth's best food trucks and marquee vendors, with the goal of obtaining approximately 20-35 of these vendors and this would be supported by 30- 60 high-end retail market stalls. To ensure customer engagement with the event, there would be lots of family friendly entertainment and a small separate licenced bar area serving boutique beer, wine and cocktails (this would be subject to all liquor licensing requirements).

Food Truck Pop Up's goal is to transform people and communities by connecting, inspiring and entertaining those who attend their events and find ways to help and give back to the local community through providing:

(a) A safe and family-friendly event; (b) A community-driven event aimed at supporting local schools, sporting clubs and businesses; (c) A clean and attractive environment with full waste management; and (d) Professional admin support to handle all vendor and attendee queries.

In May 2019, the Town was approached by Zaccaria Concerts and Touring (Zaccaria) in relation to the possibility of holding annual concert events within the Town of Cambridge. Zaccaria subsequently submitted a proposal to the Chief Executive Officer seeking consideration for a possible event to be held at the City Beach Oval in April 2020. In its proposal, Zaccaria indicated that it was interested in holding a number of annual events during the months of October to April, predominantly at the City Beach Oval.

At its 25 June 2019 meeting, Council:-

A total of 49 submissions (5.76% response rate) were received with 21 residents opposed to the proposal, while 18 residents approved of the proposed annual concert events. The attached Community Consultation Responses (Attachment 2) indicate a variety of different concerns raised by residents who oppose the proposal, while the affirmative responses generally considered it to be beneficial to the Town.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

This report is guided by Council's Policy 2.1.19 – Conduct of Special Events, Concerts, Parties and large Public Events under Category 2 - Extraordinary Events, which stipulates:

• Category 2 events require Council approval and significant community and inter- agency consultation before being allowed to proceed. This procedure imposes conditions designed to protect the Town and the community in the event of cancellation or mishap during the event.

There are no Town financial implications related to this report.

All associated costs with running any Council approved proposed event is the responsibility of Zaccaria.

Zaccaria were contacted requesting they provide an indication of the fee(s) they are prepared to pay to the Town, should approval be granted for the event. A copy of their response is provided as Attachment 3 (Confidential).

Council, if it decides to approve the annual concert event, also needs to determine if the fee proposed by Zaccaria is appropriate. Given the Town of Cottesloe will charge Zaccaria $25,000 per day, plus a $20,000 bond (Attachment 4) for their approved "By the C" concert event in November/December 2019, the fees charged by the Town, should be more in line with those being charged by Cottesloe.

The report recommendation embraces the following strategies of the Town's Strategic Community Plan 2018-2028:

CR19.86 TELETHON SPEECH AND HEARING - RELINQUISHMENT OF MANAGEMENT ORDER AND LEASES

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:

That Council:-

1. APPROVES the relinquishment by the Town of:-

(a) a Management Order over Reserve 34689, (Lot 11071, 36 Dodd Street, Wembley); (b) the lease between the Town and Telethon Speech and Hearing Ltd (TSH); and (c) the sub-lease between TSH and the Bold Park Parents Advisory Council;

2. NOTES approval of the above will enable TSH to take conditional freehold ownership of the Reserve; and

3. INFORMS the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage of Council's decision.

SUMMARY:

Telethon Speech & Hearing Ltd (TSH) and the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) advised the Town of a submission to the Minister of Lands (Minister) requesting Reserve Number 34689 (Lot 11071, 36 Dodd Street, Wembley) (the Reserve) be transferred to TSH on conditional freehold, pursuant to section 75 of the Land Administration Act 1997 (75 LAA).

For the transfer to occur, the Town must:

1. relinquish the Management Order (which allows the Town to lease the land for a period not exceeding 42 years) on the Reserve; 2. surrender the Ground Lease between the Town and TSH; and 3. surrender the sub-lease between TSH and the Bold Park Parents Advisory Council (BPPAC).

The above must occur prior to any section 75 LAA tenure being considered.

This report recommends the Town relinquishes the Management Order over Reserve 34689, the Ground Lease and the sub-lease.

BACKGROUND: On 17 June 1977, a Vesting Order was published in the Government Gazette directing Reserve No. 34689 (Lot 11071, 36 Dodd Street, Wembley) (the Reserve) be vested in and held in trust by the City of Perth (COP) (now the Town of Cambridge (TOC)) for the purpose of establishing a Speech and Hearing Centre.

As a result, consent was granted from the Minister for Lands (Minister) for a Management Order over the Reserve, with a subsequent Ground Lease entered into between the COP (now TOC) and the Speech and Hearing Centre for Children WA (Inc) (now Telethon Speech & Hearing Ltd (TSH)), for a period of 42 years for the construction and subsequent operation of a speech and hearing the centre (as pictured below).

DETAILS: The Minister has received a submission from the Chief Executive Officer of TSH requesting the Reserve be transferred to TSH (conditional freehold) pursuant to section 75 of the Land Administration Act 1997 (75 LAA). DPLH are currently assessing the submission from TSH on behalf of the Minister.

TSH's submission was based on the significant investment undertaken by them for the development of buildings and associated spaces to fulfil their obligations as a registered school (pursuant to the School Education Act 1999).

More importantly, the transfer of the land would give the organisation the potential to leverage the asset from a financial perspective, to enable development of addition locations to meet increased demand for speech and hearing services. Thereby creating better outcomes for both the local and greater Western Australian community.

In order for the DPLH to investigate the transfer of the Reserve, the Town needs to provide written confirmation to DPLH that it agrees to relinquish the Management Order and surrender the lease and sub-lease, prior to a section 75 LAA tenure being granted.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 53 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

It should be noted that the Town receives a "Peppercorn" rent of $1 per year for the Ground Lease.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS: Section 74 of the Land Administration Act 1997 grants the Minister power to sell Crown Land, whilst section 75 of the Land Administration Act 1997 enables the transfer of Crown land in fee simple subject to conditions.

Specifically, subsection 75(3) states:

(3) The fee simple of conditional tenure land may be transferred under subsection (1) for a nominal price or a discounted price because of the community benefit to be provided by the proposed development of the conditional tenure land for the specified use".

It is under these powers TSH is seeking the transfer of the land, using a fee simple for conditional freehold.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil

Committee Meeting 15 July 2019

During discussion, Members agreed that there was insufficient information to make an informed decision.

COUNCIL DECISION:

That Council DEFERS the item relating to Telethon Speech and Hearing - Relinquishment of Management Order and Leases to obtain information about the zoning of the land.

FURTHER REPORT (Post Council Meeting 23 July 2019)

As a result of the deferral seeking additional information in relation to the zoning of Reserve 34689 (Lot 11071, 36 Dodd Street, Wembley), the following outlines the zoning of the Reserve and any potential development on the land.

Zoning:

Under the Metropolitan Region Scheme, Reserve 34689 is zoned as Parks and Recreation Reserve, noting that the adjoining Lake Monger Primary School is zoned Urban.

Policy:

The Western Australian Planning Commission's (WAPC), Development Control Policy 5.3 (DPC 5.3) - Use of Land Reserved for Parks and Recreation and Regional Open Space, details the provisions and criteria the WAPC would use to assess the land use and any development proposal on the Reserve.

The objective of DCP 5.3 is to:

(a) Provide guidance on development which may be permitted on land reserved for Parks and Recreation under the MRS and Regional Open Space under the GBRS & PRS; (b) Set out procedures for obtaining approval for the use and development of land reserved for Parks and Recreation or Regional Open Space; and (c) Provide specific guidance where the land is owned by the WAPC.

Town Planning Scheme No 1:

Under the Town's Planning Scheme No. 1 (TPS1), Reserve 34689 (Lot 11071, 36 Dodd Street, Wembley) has no zoning or listing as a Reserve. However, the adjoining Lake Monger Primary School is reserved Public Purpose - Primary School under TPS1.

Reserve 34689 is located within the Town's Precinct - P6 Lake Monger, with the Local Planning Policy (LPP2.6), stating:

The WAPC retains planning authority for Reserve 34689, however this Policy contains statements and provisions which enable the Town to provide commentary on any development proposal, on that parcel of land. Given the Town is seeking to relinquish the Management Order over Reserve 34689 (which is effectively Crown Land) to the Telethon Speech and Hearing Centre, the Land Administration Act 1997, states:

(a) Under section 75 (Transfer of Crown land in fee simple subject to conditions) of the Land Administration Act 1997, the Minister for Lands may transfer

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 55 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

Crown land in freehold, subject to conditions concerning the use of the land. The land may be transferred at a nominal or discounted price, due to the community benefit that is being provided.

(b) The land must be used solely for the use that is approved by the Minister. Whilst the transfer can proceed for a nominal value, the unimproved market value of the land (as at transfer) must be paid to the State, should the proponent ever wish to remove the conditions and for it be unencumbered freehold.

(c) Conditional tenure land (or any interest in the land) cannot be transferred or be subject to any licence/mortgage/encumbrance, without the prior approval of the Minister. If the holder is found to be in breach of any condition, the land is liable to be forfeited as if it were still Crown.

The zoning of Reserve 34689 does not change (ie. remains Parks and Recreational Reserve) as part of the transaction by the Town to relinquish the Management Order, as it relates to the land tenure.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 57 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

BACKGROUND:

In 2009, the LMRC upgraded their grass bowling greens to synthetic surfaces, which have a durable life of approximately 7-10 years. The synthetic greens were incorporated into the Club’s Lease in August 2011.

DETAILS:

One of LMRC's synthetic bowling greens (Green A), is no longer available for use, due to the poor condition and state of disrepair.

The synthetic green was installed approximately 10 years ago and is showing advance stages of wear and tear, despite the Club repeatedly undertaking spot repairs and maintenance.

Synthetic Surface contractors inspected Green A and recommended the current surface be removed, with a new synthetic surface laid. It is expected these works will take four weeks to complete with work commencing over the summer period in 2020.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

Policy Number 3.1.10 - Community Facilities Asset Management Policy

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 58 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

The Building Asset Replacement Fund (BARF) was established in 2011 with annual contributions being made by both the Town (two thirds) and LMRC (one third).

Under the Community Facilities Asset Management Policy 3.1.10, the cost of renewing the synthetic surface may be withdrawn from the BARF. Currently, there are sufficient funds set aside for this capital work. LMRC's synthetic surface/lighting balance is currently $138,600, which will cover the costs of the proposed works with no cost implications in the 2019-20 Budget.

As the Cost of the project is above $50,000, the Town, in conjunction with the Club, will undertake a tender and procurement process for the replacement of the synthetic green.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION:

Replacement of the synthetic green at LMRC supports a number of goals in a number of priority areas within the Town’s Strategic Community Plan 2018 - 2028 specifically:

Our Community

Goal 3 An active, safe and inclusive community

Strategy 3.1 Focus on improving and expanding those places where community groups interact to encourage greater participation

Strategy 3.2 Continue to deliver more programs which support local clubs and community groups and their capacity to run their community activities

Strategy 3.3 Encourage a range of activities that better align with the diverse needs of ratepayers of all ages, cultures and abilities

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

This matter has been assessed under the Community Engagement Policy. In accordance with the assessment criteria it was determined that community engagement is not required as the matter is administrative.

CR19.88 SOCIAL GAMBLING COMMUNITY LEASED PREMISES AND COUNCIL OWNED FACILITIES - APPROVAL

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:

That Council:-

1. NOTES the following:

1.1 Western Australian Deaf Recreation Association (WADRA) requested social gambling be permitted at the Lake Monger Recreation Club (Inc) (LMRC), to which approval was granted for a three (3) month trial period; 1.2 The three (3) month trial period ended on 6 August 2019, with no complaints received in relation to WADRA's social gambling activities at LMRC; 1.3 Internal legal opinion was sought on whether social gambling is permissible at LMRC or any other Town-leased property or Community Facility; 1.4 Town Leases and the Community Facility Asset Management Policy (CFAMP) currently do not permit gambling (including social), with both expressly prohibiting such activity; 1.5 Any such approval, will require a Council approved amendment to the CFAMP, together with an approved variation to the current Lease with LMRC;

2. APPROVES of

2.1 Social gambling activities being conducted on and/or in Town leased properties and/or Council owned facilities; and 2.2 Variations to other Town Leases, should the respective tenants wish to conduct social gambling activities on and/or in these premises or Community Facilities; and

3. INFORMS the Department of Racing Gaming and Liquor, WADRA and the LMRC of Council's decision.

SUMMARY:

In April 2019, the Western Australian Deaf Recreation Association (WADRA) submitted a Gaming and Wagering Commission "Approval of Premises Application Form (APAF)" to the Town.

The APAF requires consent from the Owner/Lessee for the conduct of gaming on the premises, plus Certification of Local Government Authority, prior to social gambling event(s) being held. This particular application sought approval, on an ongoing basis, for the premises located at the Lake Monger Recreation Club (LMRC).

The Town initially advised both WADRA and LMRC, that under the provisions of both the LMRC Lease and Community Facilities Asset Management Policy (CFAMP), gambling is not allowed or permitted at any Club within the Town or on and/or in any Council owned facility. WADRA requested the Town review this decision, resulting in a temporary approval for

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 60 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

WADRA to conduct social gambling at the LMRC for a three month period, expiring on 6 August 2019.

BACKGROUND:

The Town received a Gaming and Wagering Commission application from WADRA to conduct ongoing social gambling at the LMRC.

WADRA and LMRC were initially advised that gambling of any form was not permissible under the terms of Lease, as the general conditions of the Lease provide that LMRC is: (a) permitted to assign or sublet the Premises with the prior written consent of the Town (cl.7.1); (b) permitted to hire the Premises, however hiring does not in any way alter or affect the Association's obligations to the Town (cl.7.3); (c) obliged to comply with the obligations in clause 10.2 of the Lease, including complying with all Laws and with the requirements of all authorities relating to the Premises and its use or occupation; (d) subject to the prohibitions in clause 10.3.

Amongst other things, the Lease specifically provides that LMRC must not:

(a) allow the Premises to be used for an illegal purpose (cl. 10.3(a)); and (b) allow or permit gambling to occur at the Premises (cl.10.3(e)).

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 61 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

Further to these Leasing provisions, the Town's Community Facilities Asset Management Policy (CFAMP) states: "the Town specifically does not permit its community facilities being used for any form of gambling".

WADRA appealed the decision and requested the Town review its CFAMP and Community Facilities Leases, to align with State legislation pertaining to social gambling. In the interim, WADRA were permitted to undertaken social gambling activities at the LMRC, for a period of three (3) months.

DETAILS:

In Western Australia, social gambling is not unlawful and certain types of games can be conducted without a permit. However, strict conditions exist within legislation which defines social gambling.

Specifically, section 64 of the Gaming and Wagering Commission Act 1987, indicates social gambling is not unlawful, and provided:- (a) it is spontaneous, notwithstanding that, it may occur regularly, habitually or by arrangement between the people involved in the game; (b) it is not promoted or conducted for the private gain of any person not participating in the gambling; and

(c) is so conducted that - (i) no person is defrauded or cheated; (ii) no charge in money or money's worth is made in respect of the gambling, and that no levy is charged on the winnings of any player; (iii) no money or money's worth that any player puts down as stakes, or pays by way of losses, or exchanges for tokens used in the game, are used for any purposes other than payment to the participants in the game; (d) does not jeopardise the mental, physical or moral welfare of any child under the age of 16; (e) does not contravene the requirements of the person responsible for the premises where the social gambling is taking place; (f) it is not two-up; (g) it is not a game that is restricted to being played at a Casino, in accordance with the Casino Control Act 1984; (h) is not a prohibited game in accordance with the Gaming and Wagering Commission Act 1987; (i) the chances of winning are equally favourable to all players participating in the game; and (j) the chances of winning lie fairly between one participant and all other players.

It must be noted, when the Town was approached by WADRA, the social gambling nights were described as:

(a) Each player pays to enter the competition (fees range from $30-$50); (b) Each Player receives chips to gamble with (the chips cannot be cashed in for money); and (c) At the end of the night, cash prizes ranging from $100 - $750, depending on the amount of chips won by an individual on the night, are distributed to participants.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 62 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

The request from WADRA for a social poker night complies with the Gaming and Wagering Commission Act 1987.

The risks for the Town to allow gambling to occur at leased and/or Council owned facilities could possibly set a precedent for all other Clubs wanting to provide social gambling at their respective premises. However, the Town should treat each applicant on a merit by merit basis.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

Town Planning Scheme No.1 Metropolitan Region Scheme

The LMRC leased area is reserved under the Metropolitan Region Scheme for ‘Parks and Recreation’. The use of the land for sporting activities is consistent with the Parks and Recreation reservation of the site.

In the absence of a Council approved variation to the LMRC Lease and an approved amendment to the CFAMP, social gambling is presently prohibited at all Town leased premises and Community Facilities. As such, if Council approves social gambling at its leased premises, all Community Facility Leases and the CFAMP will require amendments and/or variations to reflect the acceptance of social gambling activities.

2. AUTHORISES the Mayor and Chief Executive Officer to sign the Maintenance Agreement with Edge Vision Living and the Eden Development Strata Body under Common Seal pursuant to section 9.49A of the Local Government Act 1995, subject to the final terms of that agreement being acceptable to the Chief Executive Officer.

SUMMARY:

The Town has been contacted by Edge Visionary Living (EVL) to enter into an agreement for EVL and the Eden Development Strata Body (EDSB) to maintain Lot 8008 Pedestrian Access Way (PAW) located between Lot 232 (EDEN West) and Lot 233 (EDEN East) Perry Lakes in perpetuity.

The development of the PAW with the potential high maintenance costs associated with the high end finishes would be costly for the Town to maintain on an ongoing basis. This agreement would allow EVL and EDSB to maintain the high end finishes at no cost to the Town.

This report recommends the Town enter into an Agreement with EVL and the EDSB to take over the ongoing maintenance of the PAW in perpetuity.

BACKGROUND:

In July 2015, the State Government transferred three apartment sites (Lots 231, 232 and 233) in the Perry Lakes Residential Estate to the Town as part of its settlement under the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Act 2005.

Following the tender of Lot 232 Finishline View and Lot 233 Stadium Drive, Council at its December 2015 meeting decided to dispose of the lots to EVL, with settlement occurring on 10 March 2017. Hillam Architects, on behalf of EVL, received development approval on 23 January 2017 from the Metro-West Joint Development Assessment Panel for 162 multiple dwellings over Lots 232 and 233. Between Lots 232 and 233 lies a Pedestrian Access Way (PAW), being Lot 8008 on Deposited Plan 73850.

The PAW is Crown reserve vested to the Town of Cambridge at a width of 7.5 metres, length of approximately 58 metres and a total area of 456 square metres. The PAW was created as part of the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Plan (PLRP). This PAW is a part of a network that serves to provide safe pedestrian connections throughout the Perry Lakes Estate. All of the other PAWs in the network have been constructed and landscaped.

DETAILS:

EVL have proposed to upgrade the PAW to a very high standard and specification that will complement the construction and design of the Eden Unit development. These upgrades include:

1. A combination of low height rendered blockwork walls, exposed aggregate concrete footpaths and timber;

Discrete lighting strips fixed to the underside of the feature handrails; 4. The softscape combination of low, medium and tall plantings; 5. Planting selections have been considered to suit the site and solar access to ensure a lush and green palette is achieved for the long-term; and 6. Planting has been selected to minimise water use, however reticulation is supplied from a centralised system managed by the EDSB.

With EVL and the EDSB taking responsibility of the PAW's maintenance and operation in perpetuity, it will naturally mean the maintenance costs the Town would have otherwise paid, no longer exists. With the cost associated with the PAW eliminated from the Town's financial constraints, the design quality does not need to be limited based on financial costs. The PAW is Crown Land under the management of the Town and the development is consistent with the reserves purpose and is not for commercial purposes.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

Development Application DA19/0021

The Town is currently processing development application DA19/0021 for the proposed works to the subject PAW. Determination of the development application is pending the outcome of the maintenance agreement the subject of this report. If Council resolves to enter into the maintenance agreement, the development application can be determined by the Town's Administration under delegation.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

EVL will compensate the Town for any legal fees incurred as a result of drawing up an agreement between the parties.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION:

Entering into an agreement with EVL and EDSB supports a number of goals in a number of priority areas within the Town’s Strategic Community Plan 2018 - 2028 specifically:

Our Community

Goal 3 An active, safe and inclusive community

Strategy 3.1 Focus on improving and expanding those places where community groups interact to encourage greater participation

Investment Portfolio Performance

At its August 2019 meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to leave the cash rate at 1.00%, as expected by financial markets.

The global economy remains reasonable, although the increased uncertainty generated by the trade and technology disputes is affecting global investment. The slowdown in global trade has contributed to slower growth in Asia. The Chinese authorities have taken further steps to support their economy. Globally, financial conditions remain accommodative. The persistent downsides risks to the global economy combined with subdued inflation have led to a number of central banks reducing interest rates this year and further monetary easing is widely expected.

In Australia, economic growth over the first half of the year has been lower than expected. The economic is expected to grow by around 2.5% over 2019 and 2.75% over 2020. Employment growth continued to be strong although the national unemployment rate has risen slightly to 5.2 per cent recently and is expected to decline to around 5 per cent over the next couple of years. Inflation is expected to pick up gradually. Expectations are that an extended period of low interest rates will be required to make progress in reducing unemployment and achieving the Reserve Bank's inflation target.

Looking forward, in terms of the Town’s investment portfolio, interest rates have declined as a result of the Reserve Bank's cash rate cut. The major banks rates for one to three month terms are on average 1.62%, for terms of four to six months on average 1.83% and for terms of seven months to nine months on average 1.79%. The UBS Bank Bill Index rate (an index measuring performance of interest rates over a 90 day period) was 1.42% for July 2019. The 90 days BBSW or Bank Bill Swap rate (a measure of future interest rates) was 1.01% as at 31 July 2019. As Council’s investment portfolio is predominantly short term cash products, the cash rate of 1.00% for July 2019 is the more appropriate performance measure.

Against these interest rate indicators, the Town's investment portfolio outperformed the cash rate with a weighted average interest rate of 2.36%. The weighted average investment period of 201 days (approximately seven months) is consistent with term deposit rates (with the major Australian banks) which for this period were an average of 1.79%.

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 81 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

BACKGROUND:

Access Housing Australia has been operating subsidised accommodation for the relief of poverty or distress for people in need at the following two properties within the Town:

• 4/385 Cambridge Street, Wembley - Owner - Department of Housing • 10/4 Corboy Street, Wembley - Owner - Department of Housing

Apparently this has been provided since 2012, however, an application for exemption from rates was only received in July 2018.

Rates for previous years and the 2018/2019 financial year have been paid. Due to various administrative changes within the rates operational area, this application has only now been submitted to Council for approval.

DETAILS:

An application has been received from Access Housing Australia Ltd on 9 July 2018 for exemption from payment of rates on the following properties:

• 4/385 Cambridge Street, Wembley - Owner - Department of Housing • 10/4 Corboy Street, Wembley - Owner - Department of Housing

Access Housing is a registered not-for-profit Community Housing Organisation, a registered Charity and Public Benevolent Institution. They are one of Western Australia's largest non- government social housing tenancy/property managers, with more than eighteen hundred properties across the Perth metropolitan area and and South West regions under management. Their tenants include seniors, people living with a disability or mental health illness, families and singles.

The two properties are to be used as subsidising accommodation for the relief of poverty or distress for people in need.

As part of the lease agreement with Department of Housing, Access Housing Australia Ltd is responsible for all rates and charges in respect of the premises, including local authority rates.

Section 6.26 (2)(G) of the Local Government Act 1995 deems land to be non rateable property if it is land used exclusively for charitable purposes.

POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:

An application has been received from the Access Housing Australia Ltd for exemption from payment of rates on the following properties:

AGENDA - COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE - 19 AUGUST 2019 82 COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE MONDAY 19 AUGUST 2019

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

It is recommended that the rate exemption is granted effective 1 July 2018. A general waste charge of $227.00 and recycle service $41.00 are raised on both of the properties to cover 5 (120 litre) and 10 (120 litre) rubbish removals from the properties each week. These will continue to be applicable along with ESL charges. However, the following rates have been raised and paid, and would be refunded upon the exemption being approved:

• 4/385 Cambridge Street - 2018/2019 Rates $1,123.89 • 10/4 Corboy Street - 2018/2019 Rates $1,063.14

STRATEGIC DIRECTION:

The exemption of rates and management of budgeted funds is consistent with the Town's Strategic Community Plan 2018-2028:

Our Community

Goal 1: A sense of community, pride and belonging

Strategy 1.2: Promote our strong community identity and focus our responses on the needs of local residents, businesses and ratepayers.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

This matter has been assessed under the Community Engagement Policy. In accordance with the assessment criteria it was determined that community engagement is not required as the matter is purely administrative in nature with no external impacts envisaged.

They also organised and coordinated youth events and activities. Members were between the ages of 14 and 25 who lived, worked or socialised in the Cambridge area. The CYN was funded by the Town of Cambridge and managed by Cambridge Youth Services.

The Town currently holds a trust account in the name of CYN, for monies raised through fundraising by the CYN. The amount in the account currently stands at $4,597.44.

CYN was run by volunteers, and as the turnover of office bearers was high, they requested that the funds be held in trust by the Town. Funds in this account represent fundraising activities by CYN.

With the closure of Cambridge Youth Services the CYN have requested that the funds be distributed to three community organisations working with youth (Refer Confidential Attachment 2).

Capital Works

The Town's Capital Works Projects are defined as building and engineering works that create an asset, as well as constructing or installing facilities and fixtures associated with, and forming an integral part of, those works. This definition focuses on works where construction activity is required in order to create an asset. Such works would typically include constructing buildings and roads, structures or mechanical installations, upgrading or extending existing buildings, and major road works to upgrade existing roads.

Liaison with Elected Members, adopted Asset Management Plans, and feedback from community groups, provides the basis for determining Capital Works under the following categories:

Renew and Replace: An existing asset or a component of an asset, that has reached the end of its useful life. With the exception of land, assets have limited useful lives and decline in value due to wear and tear.

New: To construct an asset that did not previously exist.

Growth or Enhancement: Increasing the capacity of existing assets beyond their original design capacity or service potential.

Disposal or Decommission: To remove an asset from service that is no longer required.

DETAILS:

The purpose of this report is for Council to consider the information contained within the attached Projects Register 2019-20, and to adopt the Capital Works Program detailed in this document.
