Note from the General Manager: In accordance with Council’s adopted procedures, Councillors are requested to submit their questions without notice in writing to the General Manager at the time the question is asked.

 

0508.8.1

Graffiti and Poster Removal Program (A04/0096)

 

Cr. Clayton noted that a recent Bondi View article reported that Randwick Council has Council Meeting – 16 August 2005. Page 170 acquired a "Graffiti Buster" truck to remove graffiti and that the Council is pulling down posters on a daily basis. Cr. Clayton said that she has noticed a significant amount of posters in the community and requested that Council investigate dealing with the problem in a similar way.

 

The Director, Public Works & Services replied that Council currently has a poster removal and graffiti treatment program, and that Councillors approved the development of a graffiti policy at last month’s Council meeting. The Director added that the policy should be presented to Council by October.

 

 

0508.8.2

Wiley Street, Waverley – Stormwater Discharge (A02/0126)

 

Cr. Strewe said that she has been informed by residents that when cutting holes for trees in the pavement in Wiley Street, Council staff may not have adequately followed its own guidelines to prevent stormwater pollution. Cr. Strewe asked if the Director, Public Works & Services could ascertain if this was true and if so what measures will be taken in future to ensure that Council sets a high standard when undertaking public works.

 

The Director, Public Works & Services replied that there was a discharge into the gutter, and subsequently into the drain, from the concrete cutting that occurred in Wiley Street. The work crew used sediment control but it was inadequate. He said that a training program for maintenance and construction crews has been implemented and that he was confident that a repeat of the incident will not occur.

 

 

0508.8.3

Distribution of RTA Publication "Guide to Parking Rules in NSW" (A03/2096)

 

Cr. Wakefield requested that additional copies of the RTA publication, "Guide to Parking Rules in NSW: Things to Know to Help Traffic Flow," be distributed to Councillors and Precinct executives in order to further disseminate the information through the community.

 

The Mayor replied that the matter would be investigated.

 

 

0508.8.4

Debrief on the City to Surf Event (A02/0465)

 

Cr. Wakefield asked if the Director, Beach, Park & Recreation Services could comment on the recent City to Surf event.

 

The Director, Beach, Park & Recreation Services replied that a City to Surf debrief will be held by Council staff to review the event. The Director suggested that it was one of the most successful City to Surf events, given the very large number of participants - 60,000 - and said that the area was largely back to normal by the next morning

 

 

0508.8.5

Proposal to Establish Tree to Pavement Ratio (A02/0760–02)

 

Cr. Wakefield asked the Director, Public Works & Services if he would consider developing a template to ensure an appropriate ratio of trees per square metre of cement laid. Cr. Wakefield said that there are a number of examples where too much cement has been laid without any concern to tree placement or the streetscape.

 

The Director, Public Works & Services said he would take the issue up with Technical Services to ensure that briefs are appropriately specifying tree plantings within streetscapes.

 

 

0508.8.6

Bondi Beach Community Night Market DA (A03/0980)

 

Cr. Kanak asked the Director, Planning & Environmental Services, given that the DA for the redevelopment of the Bondi Motel near Carl Jeppesen Place is listed for the DCC meeting on Tuesday, August 23, why is the DA for the Bondi Beach Community Night Markets not on the same agenda, and at what stage is the DA processing at for the Bondi Beach Night Markets, which depends on a particular regime of access to Roscoe Street and Carl Jeppesen Place.

 

The Director, Planning & Environmental Services, replied that he would take the question on notice as to when the application for the Bondi Beach Night Markets will come back to Council and he would advise Cr. Kanak when this is to occur.

 

 

0508.8.7

Signage on Bondi Beach Pavilion for Nick’s Restaurant (A02/0280-08)

 

Cr. Kanak asked the Director, Beach, Park & Recreation Services, given representations received about blue neon signs for Nick’s Restaurant at the Bondi Beach Pavilion, does this blue neon signage infringe heritage rules for the Bondi Beach Pavilion, and if so, what is being done to remove the signs.

 

The Director, Beach, Park & Recreation Services replied that the sign was erected without Council’s consent and Council is meeting with the Project Manager tomorrow morning to discuss what action will be taken. He said the sign does not comply with the guidelines that are currently being prepared for signage on the Pavilion and that he will know the outcome of the matter tomorrow.

 

 

0508.8.8

Bondi Beach Skate Park Committee (A02/0634-08)

 

Cr. Kanak asked the Director, Beach, Park & Recreation Services, given a Mayoral Minute’s recent assurances that the Bondi Beach Skate Park Committee was being formed and a recent representation on behalf of NSW Skateboard Association, when will the Bondi Beach Skate Park Committee be formed and what is the Bondi Beach Skate Park Maintenance Program for aspects like removing obscene graffiti and sealing the coping properly.

 

The Director, Beach, Park & Recreation Services replied that there has been some difficulty finalising the members of the committee, but he expects that the committee will meet within the next two or three weeks.

 

The Director also said that graffiti has become a problem, and that the most practical solution is to paint murals on the skate park facility so as to help limit the amount of obscene graffiti that is now occurring there.

 

Cr. Kanak requested that, in organising the murals, it be made clear that the shark design in the bowl is based on Aboriginal rock carvings from North Bondi.

 

The Director replied that Council will consider that as part of the design process, which may include working with WAYS to develop a design competition.

 

 

0508.8.9

19 Boonara Avenue, Bondi – Update (A04/0421)

 

Cr. Copeland asked the Director, Planning & Environmental Services what the status is of the legal action regarding the rubbish at 19 Boonara Avenue, Bondi.

 

The Director, Planning & Environmental Services replied that the matter was last before the Land & Environment Court on 19 July 2005 when Council’s application to clean up the premises and to obtain an order restraining the owner from accumulating more rubbish was heard. He said that the Chief Judge allowed the occupants a further two months to clean the premises on the understanding that on each Thursday Council would send a garbage truck to collect any rubbish that was placed out the front of the premises.

 

The Director also said that when the matter goes back to court in mid-September, Council has the opportunity to have the matter relisted if, after a month, Council is not satisfied with the way the matter is progressing. He added that as the month is nearly up, he would take advice from the Manager of Health Services and the Senior Health Surveyor and probably request advice from Council’s lawyers with the view to having the matter relisted before the Court.

 

 

0508.8.10

46 Ocean Street, Bondi – Damage to Fig Tree (DA855/02/A)

 

Cr. Copeland asked the Director, Beach, Park & Recreation Services what was the outcome of the request previously made to investigate the damage to the fig tree outside 46 Ocean Street.

 

The Director, Beach, Park & Recreation Services replied that the tree needed to be pruned slightly to allow for the construction of the building that is occurring on that site. He said that he had reviewed the conditions of consent and could see nothing relating to the retention of the tree. He added that the tree has survived and the work is now progressing under the guidance of Council’s Tree Management Officer, with the obvious intention to preserve the health of the tree.

 

 

0508.8.11

Establishment of a Car Sharing Facility (A05/0078)

 

Cr. Copeland asked the Director, Planning & Environmental Services what the status is of the development of the car sharing facility in Waverley, which Council recently authorised.

 

The Director, Planning & Environmental Services replied that this matter is being handled by Council’s Senior Strategic Planner. He said that he would request the Senior Strategic Planner to advise all Councillors by e-mail as to the status of the car share facility.

 

 

0508.9 REPORTS - PUBLIC BODIES

There were no Public Reports received.

 

 

0508.10 CONSIDERATION OF MOTIONS OF WHICH DUE NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN:

Note from the General Manager: Council should note that for the purposes of budgetary control and planning, any Notices of Motion received and endorsed by Council, will be assessed for budgetary implications. If they cannot be achieved within existing allocations they will be referred to the Finance, Ethics & Strategic Planning Committee for its consideration of budget implications, in conjunction with the budget estimates or at a quarterly review of the budget.

 

The quarterly report to Council about progress in achieving Council’s Motions will also highlight whether budget issues are involved.

 

0508.10.1

Clubs Forum (A05/1434)

 

MOTION / DECISION (Main / Strewe)

 

That Council:

1. In recognition of the importance of all Clubs in the LGA in providing community recreational opportunities, organises a forum and invites representatives of all clubs to participate in discussions about ways in which Council can help to make sure they have a viable and sustainable future.

    

2. Investigates opportunities to work together with clubs to assist in transforming their services to meet the changing needs of our community.

    

3. Writes to Clubs NSW, the NSW Departments of Recreation and Tourism and any other relevant bodies, inviting representatives to attend the forum.

    

4. Officers report back to Council on the initiative.

BACKGROUND:

Some Clubs in Waverley are facing tough times and dwindling membership for a variety of reasons. As a result there is a growing trend for them to put forward residential development proposals in order to deal with financial problems. Clubs are valued by Council as an important community resource and the forum would commence a process for sharing knowledge and expertise and identifying recreational opportunities for reinvigorating clubs to retain their valued community role.

 

 

0508.10.2

Footpath Parking Trial in Narrow Streets (A03/2096)

 

MOTION (Betts / Kay)

 

That Council Officers take note that the RTA have agreed to trial footpath parking in selected narrow streets in Leichhardt and investigate how Waverley can join the trial.

 

AMENDMENT (Copeland / Wakefield)

 

That:

1. Council request the RTA to present the Leichhardt footpath parking trial to the Waverley Traffic Committee.

    

2. Future blitzes on illegal parking be preceded by a letterbox drop of residents.

THE AMENDMENT WAS PUT AND DECLARED CARRIED.

 

THE AMENDMENT NOW BECAME THE SUBSTANTIVE MOTION AND WAS PUT AND DECLARED CARRIED.

 

DECISION: That the Substantive Motion (Amendment) be adopted.

 

BACKGROUND

Residents throughout the Council area are outraged that they are suddenly being fined for parking with two wheels on the footpath and two wheels on the road to:

1. allow Council garbage trucks to pass and;

2. to protect their own vehicles from being sideswiped.

They have done this in many of our narrower streets for years without being fined by the Police. Now that the responsibility for parking has been handed over to Council, residents think that this is just a fund raising venture on our part.

Although an education program is about to be launched there are some streets where consideration should be given to trialing this type of parking as long as pedestrian safety can be assured.

 

 

0508.10.3

Request to reimpose the Genetically Modified Crops Moratorium (A03/2177)

 

MOTION / DECISION (Strewe / Newhouse)

 

That Council:

1. Congratulate the previous Council on their opposition to the planting of genetically modified crops in NSW, and the use of food produced from genetically modified crops in Council daycare centres and opposition to the production of food from genetically modified crops.

    

2. Request that the Mayor, considering this recent development, write to the Prime Minister, Mr. John Howard, the Premier of NSW, the Hon. Morris Iemma, and the NSW State Minister for Agriculture, Mr Ian MacDonald, reiterating, in the strongest possible terms, our support for the moratorium on the planting of genetically modified crops in NSW and asking for the moratorium to be extended at least for three more years.

BACKGROUND:

Modified genes from genetically modified oilseed rape, a brassica, have transferred into wild plants and produced a herbicide resistant ‘superweed’. This superweed is resistant to lethal herbicide. The scientists involved claim the frequency is likely to be low, however this new plant has a massive selective advantage and will multiply rapidly. This is a frightening development and shows that it was very wise for NSW to implement a moratorium on the planting of Genetically Modified crops as their safety was and is unproven.

 

 

0508.10.4

Local Government Association Conference 2005 – Submission of Proposed Motion –Cost-shifting and Impact of State Legislation Delegated to Local Government (A03/2609)

0508.13.2

Setting a Regular Evening for Councillor Workshops (A03/2680)

 

It has become increasingly difficult to schedule the many Councillor workshops and briefings that are requested or required.

 

I suggest that Council agree to several standard times for workshops etc to which all Councillors are invited. These can be then used on a regular basis by staff to schedule sessions.

 

I suggest:

• 5.30pm – 6.30pm prior to Committee meetings (1st Tuesday of the month) for sessions that only require one hour.

• That we allocate 6.00pm – 10.00pm on the second Tuesday of the month, with the whole time used or split 6.00pm – 8.00pm or 8.00pm to 10.00pm depending on the meeting requirements.

• Months with five Tuesdays, use the fifth Tuesday if required.

• The Safety Committee to remain in its current timeslot of 5.30pm – 6.30pm on Council meeting nights (3rd Tuesday of the month).

• The Legal Services Panel to remain in its current timeslot of 5.30pm – 6.30pm on the evening of the DCC meeting (4th Tuesday of the month).

• Bondi Junction Committee remains on the 2nd Wednesday of the months of September, December, March and June from 6.30pm – 8.30pm.

Should Council agree to the above, I suggest Councillors diarise the times.

 

We will then notify you regularly of whether any sessions are scheduled or not for the first, second and fifth Tuesdays of the month.

 

MOTION / DECISION (Wakefield / Copeland)

 

That Council endorse the following timetable for Councillor Workshops:

1. 5.30p.m. – 6.30p.m. prior to Committee meetings (1st Tuesday of the month) for sessions that only require one hour.

    

2. 6.00p.m. – 10.00p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month, with the whole time used or split 6.00p.m. – 8.00p.m. or 8.00p.m. – 10.00p.m. depending on the meeting requirements.

Crs. noted that their preference is for workshops to commence at 5.30p.m., although there might be occasions when 6.00p.m. is deemed more appropriate.

 

 

0508.13.3

Commencement of Consultants on Council’s Investment Strategy (A04/1773)

 

I have commissioned Elton Consulting with Sphere Property Corporation to prepare the Issues and Options papers which will be a key part of the development of Council’s Investment Strategy.

 

The project will be undertaken primarily by Brian Elton and John Harston from Sphere Property.

 

Elton Consulting is a Bondi Junction based company known to Council, having worked on a number of Council’s strategic planing projects including the Bondi Junction Strategic Plan and the Bronte Citizens Jury project. Sphere Property Corporation’s major area of activity is in the provision of strategic advice to owners, developers and governments regarding the acquisition, development and sale of property. Their CV is on file or can be e-mailed to Councillors on request. They are accredited by NSW Treasury to undertake economic assessments of major property and infrastructure projects for government.

 

The consultants have commenced work on the project; the brief was finalised by officers with the Councillor working group on this project (Councillors Moscatt, Copeland, Betts and Wakefield).

 

A workshop session with all Councillors has been scheduled for 24 August 2005 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. This will be a very important session to clarify a number of key questions with the Consultants.

 

MOTION / DECISION (Wakefield / Main)

 

That Council note the report and note the Councillor Workshop on Wednesday, 24 August 2005 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on the Investment Strategy.

 

 

0508.14 PETITIONS

There were no Petitions received.

 

 

0508.15 URGENT BUSINESS / LATE ITEMS

MOTION / DECISION (Newhouse / Moscatt)

 

That if there are any montages missing from the agenda for the next Development Control Committee meeting, they be circulated to Councillors between now and the weekend.

 

 

THE MEETING CLOSED AT 8.35 PM.
