New CEO, Mr Peter Bentley, has been here for 7 months. The Mortlock Sports Council has run the Goomalling Sport and Community Centre (today’s meeting venue) since it opened in 2015. The Centre has been paying its way. The kitchen is open Friday and Saturday nights to members and guests; a chef is employed. Volunteers assist in the running of the Centre with sporting clubs being paid the equivalent of a ‘wage’’ for the volunteer work done by their members. These arrangements have worked well for Goomalling. Three of the Shire office staff do a lot of work with youth in the community. The Shire was recognised in the 2018 Children’s Environment and Health Local Government Policy Awards winning the category “Young People Making a Difference in Communities” for the second consecutive year.

Avon-Midland Country Zone of WALGA Minutes of the Zone Meeting held 3 May 2019 Page 3 [of 13] (b) Off Road Vehicles and Local Government (Item 5.2(b)) The November meeting resolved that representatives of the WA Police Force (Commander State Traffic) and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries be invited to the next meeting of the Zone to speak on the issue of off-road vehicle use and consultation between the Police Force and local government. Mr Gordon MacMile, Director Strategic Coordination and Delivery, Planning and Service Delivery, Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, has advised that he would be pleased to attend a Zone meeting to speak on off-road vehicles. Unfortunately, he has a commitment for this meeting and arrangements have been made for him to attend our June meeting. Endeavours are being made for a representative of the WA Police Force to also attend this meeting. Mr MacMile has recently been appointed as the Chair of the Off-Road Vehicle Advisory Committee. He advises that the Minister for Sport and Recreation, Hon Mick Murray MLA, and the Minister for Local Government, Hon David Templeman MLA, have indicated that they are keen for the Advisory Committee to be reactivated as soon as possible with a view to reviewing the legislation governing off-road vehicles and, as a priority, to make the registration requirements for off-road vehicles easier. The terms of office of the current members of the Committee expire 30 June 2019 and to ensure that the Committee is in place as soon as possible consideration of appointments is progressing. Mr MacMile acknowledged the Zone’s request that the local government members not be appointed until after the October 2019 local government elections. He suggested that as an alternative, arrangements be made to make sure that the terms of office for the proxies to the local government representatives do not expire in October 2019. The WA Local Government Association has advised that they have just received a request from the State Government requesting nominations for the local government representatives on the Off-Road Advisory Committee. It is likely that nominations will open on 6 May and close on 8 June 2019. The Association also advised that, as the Advisory Committee is a State Government Committee, it did not believe that it was in a position to include a requirement in the selection criteria that a nominee’s term of office not expire in October 2019. Recommendation For Noting NOTED Mr Mark Batty commented on the need for the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions to control off-road vehicles on land under its control. (c) Other No other matters were brought forward. 6 WESTERN AUSTRALIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION BUSINESS 6.1 WALGA State Council Agenda Review of the Agenda for the State Council meeting to be held Wednesday 8 May 2019. The Agenda has been circulated by WA Local Government Association to member Councils for distribution to delegates. The Zone is able to provide comment or submit alternate recommendations to State Council for consideration. Matters for Decision 5.1 Road Safety Audit Local Government Policy Template (Page 5) WALGA Recommendation That the Road Safety Audit Local Government policy template be endorsed. Avon-Midland Country Zone of WALGA Minutes of the Zone Meeting held 3 May 2019 Page 4 [of 13] In Brief Austroads is the peak organisation of Australasian road transport and traffic agencies. Its purpose is to deliver an improved road transport system to meet current and future needs by undertaking research; and providing guidance on the design, construction and management of the road network and associated infrastructure. In February 2019 Austroads released an updated version of the Guide to Road Safety Part 6: Managing Road Safety Audits. The guide includes a road safety audit Local Government policy template, which provides a foundation for Local Governments as road managers to develop their own road safety audit policy should they elect. The road safety audit Local Government policy template is adapted from the City of Melville’s policy. The meeting recommended that the Zone support the recommendation to State Council. 5.2 ‘Preferred Model’ for Third Party Appeal Rights for Decisions Made by Development Assessment Panels (Page 13) WALGA Recommendation That WALGA: 1. Continues to advocate for the State Government to introduce Third Party Appeal Rights for decisions made by Development Assessment Panels; and 2. Endorses the ‘Preferred Model’ as the third party appeals process for decisions made by Development Assessment Panels. In Brief At the May 2018 WALGA State Council meeting, it was resolved to amend the policy position to support the introduction of Third Party Appeal Rights for decisions made by Development Assessment Panels (DAPs). State Council also resolved to further consult with members to provide more clarity on the exact details of the criteria that need to be established, before any system is implemented by the State Government. A preferred model was prepared at a workshop with members, then circulated for members to provide comment on the specific details before the 29 March 2019.

    SHIRE OF YALGOO MUNICIPAL INVENTORY OF HERITAGE PLACES 1995 CONTENTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background 1.2 Study Area PART ONE - THEMATIC FRAMEWORK 2.0 HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGY 3.0 THEMATIC MATRIX PART TWO - MUNICIPAL INVENTORY 4.0 INVENTORY OF HERITAGE PLACES 4.1 Definitions 4.2 List of Places 4.3 Individual Place Record Forms 5.0 BIBLIOGRAPHY Cover Photograph: Dominican Convent Chapel,Yalgoo 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Section 45 of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990 requires the Council of a municipality to compile and maintain an inventory of heritage places in its district which in its opinion are, or may become, of cultural heritage significance. Places are not necessarily buildings, but can be historic sites of former buildings, activities or events as well as built structures such as mines, wells and roads. Entry of a heritage place into the Municipal Inventory is recognition of its importance to the community. Depending on the level of significance afforded to each place listed in the Inventory a management category is allocated which provides a recommendation for the future conservation of the place. Places recorded in the Municipal Inventory are not automatically entered into the Heritage Council's Register of Heritage Places. It is likely, however, that the sites will be included in the Heritage Council's Database. The Heritage Council Register of Heritage Places is an authoritative, comprehensive list of places that are of State cultural heritage significance. Places entered into the Register are subject to development control and are protected under the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990.

  • Proposed Class Exemption Under Section 7 of the Water Services Act 2012 : Small Local Government Water Services Providers Information and Issues for Consultation
    Proposed class exemption under section 7 of the Water Services Act 2012 : Small local government water services providers Information and issues for consultation The Department of Water is proposing to introduce a class exemption under the Water Services Act 2012 for small local governments who provide sewerage services and/or non-potable water services to fewer than 1000 connections. This consultation is to inform the public interest assessment of such an exemption. The exemption, if introduced, would be for an initial period of five years and reviewed at the end of that period. What is an exemption? In Western Australia, water services are regulated under the Water Services Act 2012 (the Act). A water service includes the provision of a sewerage service (collection, treatment and disposal), water supply, drainage service or irrigation servicer to another party via reticulated conduits and associated works. Under section 5 of the Act, anyone providing a water service is required to be licensed or exempted from licensing. Section 7 of the Act allows the Minister (currently the Minister for Water) to grant a licensing exemption, provided that the exemption is not considered to be contrary to the public interest. The Department of Water undertakes a public interest assessment on each exemption application. The assessment considers a range of criteria, including public health, environmental impacts and social welfare. Exemptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis or for a class of water service providers. A list of current licence exemptions can be viewed on the Department of Water’s website: http://www.water.wa.gov.au/urban-water/water-services/water-service-licensing-and- licence-exemptions What services are proposed for this class exemption? The proposed exemption would be limited to local government authorities who provide sewerage and/or non-potable water services to fewer than 1000 connected properties.

    Avon-Midland Country Zone of the WA Local Government Association MINUTES OF THE ZONE MEETING held at the Goomalling Sport & Recreation Centre, Cnr Quinlan & Hoddy St, Goomalling Friday 25 June 2021 commencing at 10:16 am 1 OPENING & WELCOME The Zone President and Chair of the meeting, Cr Ken Seymour, welcomed delegates and observers and introduced Mr Peter Bentley, CEO, Shire of Goomalling. Cr Bentley welcomed delegates to Goomalling and commented on – The Shire has been undertaking budget repair over the past 2-3 years and progress is being made. Funding received under the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program has made a difference. Wheatbelt Secondary Freight Network - The first section of work has been completed on the Calingiri-Goomalling Road. The clearing permit process for roadworks has cost the Shire around $300,000 plus to date. Principally for 3 ha on the Goomalling-Meckering Road. A clearing permit for 8-9 ha will be required for the next stage of work on the Calingiri-Goomalling Road and cost is a worry. The Shire has written to the Minister expressing concern with the costs and delays associated with obtaining clearing permits for road reserves. Anstey Park revitalisation - It is proposed to redeveloped Anstey Park in Goomalling’s main street. The work will involve the demolition of the old CWA rooms. The redevelopment will include some form of recognition of the CWA. There is a proposal for the Department of Water dam adjacent to the Goomalling CBH site to be lined. The dam is saline as its depth is too great.
