Special Rate Variation Lismore City Council Meeting held 11 September 2018 - Special Rate Variation 6 Notice of Motion Notice of Motion Councillor Greg Bennett has given notice of intention to move: Recommendation That: Council cease rating of the temporary SRV ($120,000) effective from 1 July 2019; and Council reduces business promotion expenses by a corresponding amount effective from 1 July 2019. Councillor Comment Outcome Sought A reduction in rates charged to CBD Businesses. Cost of Implementing This NOM is cost neutral. By reducing expenditure for business promotion there is no impact on the budget from ceasing to rate for the temporary SRV. Funding Source Not applicable Staff Consulted Governance Coordinator Manager Finance & Governance Staff Comment Manager Finance & Governance If the Notice of Motion is adopted, the maximum amount of rates that could be levied by the Council from 1 July 2019 would be reduced by $120,000 plus the rate peg increase for 2019/20. There would be no impact on the recurrent budget as it is proposed expenditure on business promotion would be reduced by a corresponding amount. As the temporary special rate variation approved by IPART commencing 1 July 2018 is for a five year period, a similar assessment would be required each year of the approval period. While this would effectively reduce the funding collected for the business promotion program by $120,000 + rate peg increase for 2019/20, it would still leave $253,600 + rate peg increase in 2019/20 being collected from the permanent special rate variation first levied in 1998/99. The impact on the effectiveness of the business promotion program is unclear but less funding will result in fewer initiatives being undertaken and/or their scale being reduced. Acting Executive Director – Sustainable Development An item will be prepared for next week’s Council meeting edition of City Notes for Councillors to provide information on the impacts on Council’s current business promotion activities if the Notice of Motion is adopted.

Matters Arising Matters Arising Subject Adoption of Planning Proposal to rezone part of 55 Palmers Road, McLeans Ridges to R5 Large Lot Residential. TRIM Record No BP18/1042:EF16/171 Prepared by Strategic Planner Reason To obtain a Council resolution to support a Planning Proposal to rezone part of 55 Palmers Road, McLeans Ridges and forward to the Department of Planning and Environment requesting it resolve the OEH objection and finalise the LEP Amendment. Strategic Theme Our built environment Strategy Our land-use planning caters for all sectors of the community. Action Ensure land is available and serviced to meet population growth in locations that are accessible, close to services and employment, and suitable for development. Executive Summary This report provides Council with an overview of a Planning Proposal for 55 Palmers Road, McLeans Ridges (Lot 28 DP 1130169) that will: amend the zone applying to part of the land from Zone RU1 Primary Production to Zone R5 Large Lot Residential; amend the zone applying to part of the land from Zone R5 Large Lot Residential to Zone RU1 Primary Production; amend the minimum lot size applying to part of the land from 40 hectares to 1 hectare; amend the minimum lot size applying to part of the land from 2 hectares to 40 hectares; apply a building height limit of 8.5 metres to part of the land consistent with other land in the Zone R5; remove the maximum building height of 8.5 metres from part of the land in Zone R5. The Planning Proposal is not consistent with the Lismore Growth Management Strategy 2015-2035 or the North Coast Regional Plan. However, it is a minor and justified inconsistency that will yield only one additional rural residential lot in a location immediately adjacent to

Lismore City Council acknowledges the people of the Bundjalung nation, traditional custodians of the land on which we work. Michael Donnelly Acting General Manager 28 May 2021 ETHICAL DECISION MAKING AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST A guiding checklist for councillors, staff and community committees Ethical decision making • Is the decision or conduct legal? • Is it consistent with Government policy, Council’s objectives and Code of Conduct? • What will the outcome be for you, your colleagues, the Council, anyone else? • Does it raise a conflict of interest? • Do you stand to gain personally at public expense? • Can the decision be justified in terms of public interest? • Would it withstand public scrutiny? Conflict of interest A conflict of interest is a clash between private interest and public duty. There are two types of conflict: • Pecuniary – an interest that you have in a matter because of a reasonable likelihood or expectation of appreciable financial gain or loss to yourself or another person or entity defined in part 4 of the Lismore City Council Code of Conduct with whom you are associated. • Non-pecuniary – a private or personal interest that you have that does not amount to a pecuniary interest as defined in the Lismore City Council Code of Conduct. These commonly arise out of family or personal relationships, or out of involvement in sporting, social, religious or other cultural groups and associations, and may include an interest of a financial nature.
