CITY OF WANNEROO MINUTES OF ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING 23 NOVEMBER, 2004 2 Item 3 Public Question Time PQ02-11/04 Mr V Harman, Hester Avenue, Wanneroo Received at the Briefing Session to be presented at Council meeting 1. Can Council indicate how it will implement the proposed ratings for retirement villages? 2. What is the current situation regarding the ambulance depot in Merriwa? 3. Does Council have a provisional opening date for the Clarkson library? Response by Director Corporate Services 1. The Premier of Western Australia recently announced an $11 million concession package for West Australian pensioners and seniors living in retirement villages, park homes and caravan parks. The package, as announced, is to provide a benefit to pensioners/seniors by extending the availability of concessions for local government rates, water charges and emergency services levy. The changes to the Law required to give effect to these new concessions have yet to be decided. The Premier has stated, however, that the government would work with operators of retirement villages, lifestyle/park home villages and caravan parks, local governments and other agencies to implement the decision. The Assistant Commissioner of State Revenue, Mr Nigel Mills, has accepted an offer from the City’s Director Corporate Services to provide input to the Working Party responsible for the implementation. In essence, the Rates and Charges (Rebates & Deferments) Act 1992 will be amended to extend pensioner/senior concessions to lifetime leaseholders with effect from 1 July 2005. This has been announced by the Government and it is also understood to be a priority of the State Opposition. The implementation details are yet to be developed, but will be the subject of a consultative process, including representatives from local governments. Response by Director Community Development 2. The St John Ambulance Association has acquired premises in Jenolan Way, Merriwa and are converting the former petrol station to an ambulance depot. Council approvals have been issued for this work. 3. The Clarkson Library will be open for library borrowers and new library members from the first week in February.
