3.1 ALLOCATION OF 2103-14 BANYULE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY GRANTS

Author: Fleur O'Luanaigh - Environment Officer, City Development

File: BS 24/035/018 SUMMARY

For Council to consider the 2013-14 allocation of the Banyule Environmental Sustainability Grants. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN

This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “act as environmental stewards”.

BACKGROUND

The Banyule Environmental Sustainability Grants provide incentives annually to new or established groups to develop various environmental programs. These include the conservation of resources, reducing waste and pollution, maintaining and enhancing the natural environment or encouraging environmental stewardship. Grants are available to assist local groups, schools and individuals with the costs of organising and implementing environmental sustainability programs. The 2013-14 grant pool is now $30,000. This is an increase of $15,000 from previous years since the grants commenced in 1992. This increase was a result of a Council resolution (CO2013/244) on 1 July 2013 that:

Council make a “one off” $15,000 additional allocation to the Environmental Grant Funding from the unallocated funds available from the 2013/14 General Reserve Budget.

The average grant is $1000-$1500 with a maximum of $5000 awarded. Applications are submitted annually and assessed by the Banyule Environment Advisory Committee (BEAC) in accordance with its Terms of Reference (Attachment 1):

Provide advice on the management of Council’s Environment Grants Program

and make appropriate recommendations to Council on allocation of funds.

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 4

DISCUSSION

During its September meeting, BEAC assessed the grant applications according to the criteria outlined in the guidelines (Attachment 2). A total of 16 applications requested $25,682 for environmental projects all of which have been recommended by BEAC. This does not take up the entire grant pool of $30,000. The lower take up has occurred because of a change in the timing of the grant round. Two Environmental Sustainability Grant rounds occurred in quick succession to align with Council’s other community development grants. BEAC had been concerned that community capacity for sustainability projects may be overwhelmed by the increase and the short lead time to publicise the increase. However, the number of applications remained relatively high and of excellent quality. BEAC recommend that the future funding for the grant pool remains at $30,000. The table below lists the recommended applications:

OFFICER COMMENT

The recommended projects reflect the strong community interest in creating habitat for local wildlife, food production and sustainable gardening practices. There has been a continuing shift from schools dominating the applicant pool to sharing it more equally with community groups. This reflects a growth in capacity in the community to manage projects, offer workshops and provide sustainability training for other community members. This is a desirable trend as it reflects a mature, environmentally literate community with the benefits of peer-to-peer change outcomes.

TIMELINES

The successful recipients will be awarded their grant monies at a celebratory event on 28 November 2013.

CONCLUSION

Given the stringent grant criteria, due diligence assessment of BEAC, innovation, sustainability outcomes and spread of the above applications, Council should consider their suitability to receive funding in the 2013-14 Environmental Sustainability Grant round.

3.2 WATER SUSTAINABILITY PLAN Author: Clayton Simpson - Resource Conservation Officer, City Development

File: BS24/055/005 SUMMARY

To consider the adoption of a Water Sustainability Plan to reduce Council water use and reduce waterway pollution. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN

This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “conserve water and improve stormwater quality and impact”.

BACKGROUND

A key direction in Council’s City Plan 2013-2017 is to conserve water and improve stormwater quality and impact including completing Council’s stormwater harvesting project. Following the direction of the City Plan and the Planet Policy and Strategy, the development of the following is proposed:

Water Sustainability Plan Biodiversity Plan Waste Plan Environmental Stewardship Plan Greenhouse Plan

The attached Water Sustainability Plan 2013 has been developed to provide the policy backing for Council’s water initiatives.

HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER

In developing this report to Council, the subject matter has been considered to determine if it raises any human rights issues. In particular, whether the scope of any human right established by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities is in any way limited, restricted or interfered with by the recommendations contained in this report. It is considered that the subject matter does not raise any human rights issues.

FUTURE WATER USE

Council water use has decreased significantly over time, but this trend is likely to be eroded by a range of factors. Even with its water saving measures, WaterMarc is a significant water user. Other expansion of Council services in the future will increase water demand. There will be future dry years resulting in more open space irrigation, Council’s largest water use, or prompting state-imposed water restrictions. In either case, Council needs to prepare for this future. Despite the overall fall in water use, water costs have rebounded due to the rising price of water. The annual water bill hit a low of about $120,000 in 2007/08. The bill has more than doubled since, hitting about $275,000 in 2011/12. Add in sewage and other related costs and the bill totals about $450,000. If the Chelsworth, Kalparrin and DeWinton stormwater harvesting projects had not proceeded, ‘business as usual’ growth in water use would have been significant. With a future dry period, it could have rebounded to about 350ML per year and the annual bill could have reached $1.9 million by 2019/20. This worst case scenario has now been avoided by building the stormwater harvesting projects. However, there is still likely to be some growth in water use and costs into the future.

WATER SUSTAINABILITY PLAN

In response to Council’s City Plan commitments, the need to prepare for future dry years and the growing water bill, a Water Sustainability Plan has been developed. The plan highlights the range of initiatives that Council has already done. This includes WaterMarc water efficiency and rainwater harvesting and reducing open space water use. The plan is to continue with similar water sustainability initiatives. The stormwater project is put forward as the plan’s leading initiative as it:

targets the largest water use, saves on water bills and reduces pollution has significant funding support with State and Federal Government

contributions has stakeholder support including from Ivanhoe Grammar, the Ivanhoe golf

course operator and sports clubs, and the associated public awareness of the project encourages community water

saving For more detail, see the attached plan.

CONSULTATION

The Banyule Environment Advisory Committee (BEAC) has been consulted about the plan and there was general satisfaction with the plan’s content. The plan addresses community feedback on the 2013-2017 City Plan and it supports pursuing external funding for Council’s water initiatives. BEAC support a Water Sustainability Plan for Council. BEAC believes community education, rainwater and stormwater harvesting and open space initiatives are

Page 9: Banyule City Council OM 21 October 2013 Agenda

3.2

Planet – Environmental Sustainability WATER SUSTAINABILITY PLAN cont’d

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 9

important. Three BEAC members believe the water plan targets are about right and four believe they are not ambitious enough. Targets are discussed further below. The plan is a requirement of a Melbourne Water funding agreement for their $500,000 contribution to the stormwater project. Having an adopted plan will help Council pursue external funding in the future. The plan fits in with the direction of the State Government’s Office of Living Victoria’s (OLV) Melbourne’s Water Future strategy. OLV has established the Living Victoria Fund to support the development of water sustainability projects that fit well with the Melbourne’s Water Future strategy. State Government funding for Council’s stormwater harvesting projects was a forerunner of this new Fund. There may well be future opportunities for Council to access more funding for further stormwater harvesting or similar projects that save water and reduce pollution.

TARGETS

Council’s drinking (potable) water use has decreased from almost 400 million litres (ML) in 2000/01 to less than 150ML in 2011/12. The following water sustainability targets are proposed as part of the plan:

Water conservation – permanently constrain annual Council potable water use below 200ML

Stormwater improvement – annually remove the following pollutants: o 50 tonnes of litter o 130 tonnes of sediment o 800 kilograms of nitrogen

By adopting the proposed water sustainability plan, Council would be adopting these targets. The likelihood that the stormwater improvement target will be achieved by the stormwater project is high. The project also contributes significantly to the achievement of the 200ML water conservation target. A couple of scenarios have been modelled to 2019/20 regarding the water conservation target, anticipating a future dry period:

our current situation with the stormwater project should constrain annual water use to about 240ML and should constrain annual costs to about $1.5 million

the water plan scenario represents the annual 200ML target where a further 40ML or so of water is saved and annual costs are constrained to about $1.35 million

To summarise:

150ML Current water use in a relatively wet period 240ML Water use with stormwater project in a future dry period 200ML Water plan target in a future dry period

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 10

COST IMPLICATIONS

There are no immediate cost implications for the adoption of the Water Sustainability Plan. However, plan implementation will involve future consideration of allocating budget to implement water sustainability initiatives such as synthetic sports surfaces, an accelerated rollout of warm season grasses, more stormwater harvesting and other projects. The challenge is to bridge the gap between 240ML and 200ML annual water use levels. To put this in perspective of cost implications, the Kalparrin stormwater project is estimated to save 43ML annually at an up-front cost of about $1.9 million.

CONCLUSION

The stormwater project is Council’s leading measure to reduce water use and remove stormwater pollution. The proposed plan provides a detailed framework for this and other water sustainability projects. It addresses water key directions in the City Plan 2013-2017. Implementation of the plan would help constrain rising water costs and better prepare for future dry periods. Current annual water use is below 150ML. With our growing experience and momentum with established initiatives, the proposed target of constraining annual water use below 200ML should be achievable, as should be the proposed stormwater improvement target. By adopting the attached proposed plan, Council would be adopting these targets. The stormwater project has already helped avoid the worst case scenario of annual water related costs rebounding to about $1.9 million by 2019/20. The stormwater project should constrain costs to about $1.5 million. Achieving the proposed water plan target would reduce these costs further, possibly down to $1.35 million by 2019/20. This shows that the environmental benefits from these types of initiatives often come with financial benefits also. When WaterMarc cogeneration, energy efficient streetlights, the stormwater project and the water plan target are implemented, the approximate annual savings by 2019/20 would include the following:

$400,000 saved by the stormwater project $150,000 saved by further reducing water use below 200ML $175,000 saved by WaterMarc cogeneration $340,000 saved by the streetlights project

These annual savings add up to more than $1 million by 2019/20 and these savings would grow further in the years thereafter.

4.1 VESTING OF RESERVES INTO COUNCIL'S NAME

Author: Jeanette Kringle - Property Co-ordinator, City Development

File: BS28/040/001

Previous Items Council on 18 March 2013 (Item 4.3 - Vesting of Reserves into Council's

name) SUMMARY

To consider the vesting into Council’s name the titles to reserves currently in the name of the original subdivider. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN

This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “plan and manage the systems and assets that support Council’s service delivery”.

BACKGROUND

At its ordinary meeting of 18 March 2013 (C02013174) Council considered a report in relation to 100 or so parcels of land, the titles to which were still registered in the name of the original subdivider. Council resolved to commence the statutory procedures under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and section 24A of the Subdivision Act 1988 to vest title to 23 parcels of land into Council’s name. The parcels of land identified in the report of 18 March 2013, were reserved for municipal, drainage or similar purposes (the land). Until the introduction of the Subdivision Act in 1988, there was no automatic recording on title by Land Registry of Council’s entitlement to be registered as proprietor of such reserves. For all intents and purposes the reserves are parcels of land for which Council acts as the owner. In most instances, Council maintains the reserves as part of its cyclical maintenance program.

LEGAL CONSIDERATION

There are various pieces of legislation that provide Council with mechanisms to achieve a transfer of legal ownership. These include Section 24A of the Subdivision Act 1988 and Sections 45, 54, 59 and 60 of the Transfer of Land Act 1958. The choice is generally dictated by the status of the land (on title) and what (if any) statute or statutory procedures have vested the land in Council’s name or common law rights which may have accrued in favour of Council.

STATUTORY PROCEDURES

Subdivision Act 1988 and Planning and Environment Act 1987

Section 24A of the Subdivision Act 1988 confers on Council, amongst other things, the power to vest land shown or set aside as a reserve on a registered (but not certified) plan (of subdivision). However, before proceeding under Section 24A of the Subdivision Act 1988 a planning permit must be obtained, in accordance with Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, to authorise the vesting.

CURRENT SITUATION

The proposition that Council should obtain title to reserves created in subdivisions prior to 1988 through procedures under s 24A of the Subdivision Act 1988, is continuing. Planning Permit P845/2013 is currently being considered under delegation, which is for the first 23 reserves proposed to be vested in Council’s name. At the time of writing this report the application was currently on advertising and a decision was likely to be made in the coming weeks. The process to obtain title by this method is time consuming and costly. Simplistically, the process involves the following steps:

1. Investigating the title 2. Engaging a surveyor to prepare a draft plan under Section 24A of the

Subdivision Act 3. Applying for a planning permit 4. Obtaining a planning permit with appropriate conditions 5. Obtaining a certified plan 6. Applying to the Land Registry for registration of the Plan.

This process does not demonstrate the complexities of the problems that can be encountered in dealing with the vesting of titles. Consequently the vesting process relating to the 100 or so reserves is proposed to be undertaken in phases. The second phase involves obtaining title to the 13 reserves listed below.

HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER

In developing this report to Council, the subject matter has been considered to determine if it raises any human rights issues. In particular, whether the scope of any human right established by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities is in any way limited, restricted or interfered with by the recommendations contained in this report. Section 20 provides that “A person must not be deprived of his or her property other than in accordance with law.” Despite Council’s legislative power to vest title to the land in its name, consideration has been given to the owner’s rights under the Limitations of Actions Act 1958 and the Human Rights Charter. In this instance the titles are registered in the names of deceased owners, deregistered companies or owners who are unable to be contacted. The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) has no objection to Council proceeding with the process so that titles to the reserves, insofar as it relates to the deregistered companies, can be issued in Council’s name.

CONCLUSION

The proposal to vest the land in Council’s name requires Council to form the view that the land is reasonably required for the purpose for which it is currently reserved. As previously indicated, Council acts as owner of the land and, in most instances, maintains the reserves as part of its cyclical maintenance program. On that basis the proposal to vest the land in Council’s name should be supported. Council should now direct, by resolution, that the statutory procedures be commenced under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and section 24A of the Subdivision Act 1988 to authorise, by permit, the vesting in itself of the title to the land and retaining the land for the purposes for which it is currently reserved or used. RECOMMENDATION

That Council: 1. Being of the opinion that land shown in column 1 of the table below is

required for the corresponding purpose shown in column 2, now directs that the statutory procedures be commenced under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and section 24A of the Subdivision Act 1988 to authorise, by permit, the vesting of the land shown in column 1 of the table below in Council’s name and retaining the land for the purposes shown in column 2.

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 18

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Original Subdivision Permit Planning permit P497/03 was granted on 31 December 2004 for a three lot subdivision of land at 113 Greenhill Road, Greensborough. Condition 3 of the permit required the owner of the land to enter into a Section 173 agreement with Council. The Section 173 agreement subsequently registered on title stipulates that any dwelling or other buildings to be constructed on Lot 2 (the subject site) must:

Be contained within the building envelope approved pursuant to Permit P497/03;

Be of single storey construction; Have a maximum 40% site coverage.

Single Dwelling Permit (Lot 2) Planning permit P934/07 was issued on 19 February 2008 for the construction of a single storey dwelling on Lot 2, occupying the entire building envelope. The officers’ report states that the single dwelling occupies 40% site coverage. Current Planning Application Council’s Municipal Building Surveyor issued a Building Notice on 4 August 2011 and subsequently a Building Order on 4 October 2011 in relation to the illegal construction of a deck and pergola at the subject site (i.e. constructed without a building permit). Legal proceedings were launched by Council’s Municipal Building Surveyor in August 2012 to seek the removal of the illegal structures and are on-going. These proceedings are subject to the outcome of the current planning application which was submitted in an attempt to legitimise the illegal structures. The deck and pergola trigger a planning permit in their own right under the Residential 1 Zone provisions. However, if a permit were to be issued, this would be contrary to the Section 173 Agreement registered on title as the deck and pergola are constructed outside of the building envelope and site coverage exceeds the maximum limit of 40%. The combined site coverage of the dwelling, deck and pergola is 57.8%). If a permit were to be issued, the Section 173 Agreement would need to be either varied or terminated. Retrospective approval would also be required from the Municipal Building Surveyor. It should also be noted that an existing tree (nominated for retention as per the endorsed landscape plan under P497/03) was removed to facilitate construction of the decked area. It is not known whether this was a native tree that required a permit for its removal under the Vegetation Protection Overlay – Schedule 1 provisions however it appears that this was a medium canopy tree.

SUBJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA

The subject site is located on the southern side of Greenhill Road in Greensborough. Each of the three lots has been developed with a single storey dwelling. The surrounding area is residential in nature, having been developed with a mix of single

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

The application was advertised by way of formal notices to the owners and occupiers of the surrounding properties. No objections were received in response to notification (advertising).

PLANNING CONTROLS

The subject site is located within the Residential 1 Zone (R1Z). The land is also affected by the following overlays:

Design and Development Overlay – Schedule 8 (DDO8) Vegetation Protection Overlay – Schedule 1 (VPO1)

The deck and pergola trigger a permit under R1Z provisions as the lot is less than 500m2 in area. A permit is not required under the DDO8 or VPO1 provisions.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATION

A retrospective permit for the deck and pergola is not considered appropriate for the following reasons: Building Envelope The deck and pergola have been constructed outside of the building envelope endorsed under P497/03 and are in breach of the Section 173 Agreement registered on title. The amount of buildings and works constructed outside of the envelope is significant (83m2) and is not supported. The building envelope is intended to prevent building site coverage from exceeding 40% site coverage. This was a requirement under Council’s Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy for the Semi Bush Precinct at the time the original subdivision permit was issued. This requirement still applies under Council’s current Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy. Site Coverage The combined site coverage of the dwelling, deck and pergola is 57.8% and is in breach of the Section 173 Agreement registered on title which requires that building site coverage for Lot 2 not exceed 40%. The site is located within the Semi Bush Precinct (west) under Council’s Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy (Clause 22.02 of the Banyule Planning Scheme). Amongst other things, the policy requires that building site coverage should not exceed 40%. Specifically, the listed design response requires that:

“Building site coverage should not exceed 40% in order to provide sufficient site area for planting, growth and retention of vegetation. This may be varied if the proposal demonstrates that the vegetated character of the site and Precinct is protected and enhanced by retaining existing vegetation and providing sufficient area for the planting of additional trees and other vegetation.”

Page 21: Banyule City Council OM 21 October 2013 Agenda

4.2

Place – Sustainable Amenity and Built Environment 2/113 GREENHILL ROAD, GREENSBOROUGH - APPLICATION FOR RETROSPECTIVE PLANNING PERMISSION cont’d

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 21

Given the limited opportunities for the planting of vegetation within the rear yard, the proposed site coverage of 57.8% is considered a significant departure from the above policy requirement and is not supported. Landscaping The deck and pergola severely limits opportunities for landscaping within the rear yard. As stated above, an existing medium sized tree which was required to be retained under P497/03 was removed and there appears to be no opportunities for the provision of a replacement canopy tree that could grow to a similar size. Based, on the plans submitted, there appears to be only sufficient space for 3 to 4 small canopy trees in the rear yard. This is also considered to be contrary to the objectives of the Semi Bush Precinct (west) which seeks to maintain and enhance the indigenous vegetation dominated vistas, streetscapes and backdrops, and encourage the replanting of indigenous plants. Specifically, the listed design response requires that development:

“Retain existing trees wherever possible. If this cannot be achieved, or a tree is considered appropriate for removal, the site should provide adequate space for offset planting of indigenous or native trees that will grow to a mature height similar to the mature height of the tree to be removed.”

Appeal Opportunities As this is a situation where permits from some time ago have been acted upon and as a consequence there is a Section 173 agreement on title there are limited appeal options. Even with a favourable review of a decision to refuse this application at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) Council would still control whether the deck and pergola could remain in place by enforcing the Section 173 agreement on title. It is recognised that refusal of this application would ultimately result in the removal of the deck and pergola. While this outcome is desirable from a neighbourhood character and vegetation perspective, it would likely result in a large financial and otherwise impact on the owner of the property. This is unfortunate and not intended per se, however under the scheme and conditions on title it is not considered appropriate to legitimise the structures.

CONCLUSION

The application to retrospectively approve the building of a deck and pergola at 2?113 Greenhill Road Greensborough has been assessed in accordance with the Banyule Planning Scheme including the State and Local Planning Policy Frameworks, the Residential 1 Zone, the Vegetation Protection Overlay – Schedule 1, the Design and Development Overlay – Schedule 8 and Clause 55. On balance, it is considered that the deck and pergola is in direct contravention of the Section 173 agreement registered on title and Council’s Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy for the Semi Bush Precinct. Therefore, it follows that the application should be refused.

RECOMMENDATION

“That:

1. Council having complied with Section 52, 58, 60, 61 and 62 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, resolves that a Refusal to Grant a Planning Permit be issued in respect of Application No. P185/2013 for retrospective approval for buildings and works (deck and pergola) at 2/113 Greenhill Road GREENSBOROUGH on the following grounds:

a. The buildings and works are in breach of the Section 173 Agreement

registered on title which requires that all buildings be contained within the building envelope and that site coverage does not exceed 40%.

b. The buildings and works result in buildings site coverage of 57.8%, well in

excess of 40%, which limits the opportunities for the planting of vegetation within the rear yard to only small canopy trees, contrary to Clause 22.02 - Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

c. Inadequate space is provided for a replacement medium canopy tree (to

offset the medium tree which was removed from the site), contrary to Clause 22.02 - Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

2. Council’s Municipal Building Surveyor be advised of the refusal of the

planning application and that following a period to allow a review of the decision, legal proceedings be progressed to seek the removal of the illegal structures.”

4.3 PROPOSED SALE OF 1 AND 2 ORR LANE MONTMORENCY

Author: Jeanette Kringle - Property Co-ordinator, City Development

Ward: Hawdon

File: BS28/010/008 BP1785/1 BP5700/2 SUMMARY

To determine whether or not the Council-owned land to be known as Nos. 1 and 2 Orr Lane Montmorency should be sold and, if so, by what method and under what conditions. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN

This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “develop and deliver best value services and facilities”.

BACKGROUND

At its ordinary meeting of 26 August 2013 (CO2013/302) Council considered submissions received in response to public notice of Council’s intention to sell the Council-owned land to be known as 1 and 2 Orr Lane Montmorency (identified on the locality plan at Figure 1 below). Council resolved as follows:

“1. Having complied with the provisions of section 189 of the Local Government Act 1989 by giving public notice of Council’s intention to sell the Council–owned land to be known as No. 1 Orr Lane Montmorency, being the land on Plan of Consolidation PC372898F and the Council-owned land known as 2 Orr Lane Montmorency, being Lot 1 on Plan of Subdivision PS712879E (Land), consider submissions received, and hear submitters that have requested to be heard, in accordance with the provisions of section 223 of the Local Government Act 1989.

2. Following consideration of submissions, consider a report at a future meeting of Council, to determine: a) whether or not the Land should be sold and, b) if so what conditions (if any) should be imposed, including the

requirement that any future purchaser of the Land would be obliged to enter into an agreement pursuant to section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to be registered on title which would, amongst other things, restrict development on: (i) the land to be known as No. 1 Orr Lane, being the land on Plan of

Consolidation PC372898F, to one dwelling; and (ii) the land known as No. 2 Orr Lane, being Lot 1 on Plan of

Subdivision PS712879E, to a maximum of two dwellings; and c) by what method the Land should be sold.”

HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER

In developing this report to Council, the subject matter has been considered to determine if it raises any human rights issues. In particular, whether the scope of any human right established by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities is, in any way, limited, restricted or interfered with by the recommendations contained in this report. Section 20 of the Charter provides that “A person must not be deprived of his or her property other than in accordance with law”. It is considered that the subject matter does not raise any human rights issues because the power to sell the land is conferred on Council pursuant to section 189 of the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act). In this instance Council has heard and considered the submissions in accordance with section 223 of the Act.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATONS

The land and improvements known as 2 Orr Lane Montmorency comprises part of the land in Certificates of Title Volume 9541 Folio 551 and Volume 9442 Folio 832 being Lot 1 on proposed Plan of Subdivision PS712879E. No. 2 Orr Lane has a total area of 851m2 (not 815m2, as stated in the report that did not go to Council on 7 October). The land to be known as 1 Orr Lane Montmorency comprises part of the land in Certificates of Title Volume 9442 Folio 832, Volume 9531 Folio 242 and Volume 8228 Folio 472 being the land on proposed Plan of Consolidation PC372898F. No. 1 Orr Lane has a total area of 419m2 (the Land) - which has been revised from the earlier estimated area of 425m2 advertised in the public notice.

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 25

The Land is included in a Residential 1 zone and is affected by Vegetation Protection Overlay (VPO1) controls.

CONSULTATION

Public notice of Council’s intention to sell the Land was given in the “Diamond Valley Leader” on 19 June 2013. . A public meeting with residents, Councillors and Council Officers was held on 9 July 2013 at the Rosanna Offices. Potential options to address the submitters’ concerns included any future purchaser being obliged to enter into an agreement pursuant to section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (Section 173 Agreement) to be registered on title which would, amongst other things, restrict development on

(a) the land to be known as 1 Orr Lane to one dwelling; (b) 2 Orr Lane to a maximum of two dwellings.

The submission period in relation to the public notice of Council’s intention to sell the Land closed on 17 July 2013. Eight (8) submissions were received, including one seeking to purchase part of the Land. As previously indicated, Council considered the submissions at its ordinary meeting of 26 August 2013. Further discussion with and correspondence from residents have also continued to highlight a number of issues. Resident concerns can be summarised as follows:

Opposed to the sale of 1 Orr Lane If Council sells the land it will be forced to approve the removal of trees Sight lines from Orr Lane to Cressy Street will reduced by a new dwelling Extra dwellings will have an impact on parking in the area The impact of future fences The size and orientation of 1 Orr Lane and the topography of the land Poor access to 2 Orr Lane Likelihood of VicRoads approval for access from Main Road to 2 Orr Lane Community use of 1 Orr Lane Local access and drainage issues Discrepancies in the advertised plans

DISCUSSION

Development on that part of the Land to be known as No. 1 Orr Lane will be challenging due to the shape, size and building set back requirements. However, it is not considered necessary to include a building height restriction, or a three dimensional building envelope, by way of a Section 173 Agreement. Matters pertaining to front, side and rear setbacks, height, and the like, would be considered as part of a planning permit application. Clause 32.01-3 of the Banyule Planning Scheme provides that a permit is required to construct a dwelling on a lot having an area between 300m2 and 500m2. Such an application would be assessed under ResCode, and Council’s Neighbourhood Character Strategy, and consider:

Site Layout and Building massing Amenity impacts On-site amenity and facilities Detailed design

Development on that part of the land known as No. 2 Orr Lane may be similarly challenging due to the location of the existing dwelling. Again it is not considered necessary to include building height restrictions and a three dimensional building envelope by way of a Section 173 Agreement. Any proposal to subdivide and/or construct more than one dwelling would require an application for a planning permit. Such application would also be assessed under ResCode and Council’s Neighbourhood Character Strategy. Submissions and discussions with residents also raised a number of other issues regarding trees, drainage, traffic and pedestrian safety. The pedestrian movement, stormwater drainage network, and flooding issues, in Cressy Street and Orr Lane are currently being investigated. They will be considered for further action as required and community consultation on these matters should commence in the near future. A report is expected to be provided to Council in November or December, but current investigations have determined that there is no reason why the sale of the land should not proceed. Investigations into options for potential footpath provision on Orr Lane and parts of Cressy Street have also been undertaken. Consultation with residents on a potential footpath alignment will also be commencing sometime in November 2013. Issues relating to traffic sight distances and additional traffic signage will also be considered further with residents and addressed through further consultation with the Transport Section depending on the next steps with the proposal. There are also no concerns about the potential impact of a future development on No. 1 Orr Lane reducing site distances at the corner of Cressy Street and Orr Lane due to the significant setback of the property boundary from the existing road pavement. Even if the potential construction of a dwelling and a fence on 1 Orr Lane occurs there is about 3 metres from the corner of the block to Orr Lane and about 9 metres to Cressy Street. In any event these substantial distances to the road are largely irrelevant as the sight lines should be judged from the Give Way line on Orr Lane which has little relationship to 1 Orr Lane or any potential dwelling on the site. The Transport Section have also advised that it is unlikely that 2 Orr Lane has access rights to Main Road and that VicRoads would be unlikely to support a request for access from Main Road. Given the traffic speeds and volumes on Main Road, property access to Main Road at this location would likely be construed as a higher risk option than providing access direct onto Orr Lane. Nevertheless, VicRoads has still been requested to consider this matter, though no formal response has been received to date. In any event the impact of two additional dwellings at 1 and 2 Orr Lane on traffic in the area will be minimal. It is largely irrelevant whether 2 Orr Lane previously had access or enjoys legal road abuttal right to Main Road because VicRoads has the right to decide whether access is provided or not in the future. Investigations into intersection capacity at Cressy Street and Main Road have highlighted that whilst some minor delay is evident and even anticipated in the peak periods, the intersection currently operates well within acceptable limits and can

4.3

Place – Sustainable Amenity and Built Environment PROPOSED SALE OF 1 AND 2 ORR LANE MONTMORENCY cont’d

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 27

accommodate moderate increases in traffic volume on both roads. As such significant intersection improvement works are not considered warranted at this point in time. Notwithstanding this there may be opportunity to discuss with VicRoads some minor signage and line marking additions to the area to further improve access and safety at the intersection. In addition, it is considered that the sale and development of the land for up to two additional dwellings (three dwellings in total) would not result in an unacceptable increase in traffic in Orr Lane or Cressy Street. A preliminary investigation has occurred of a number of trees on the site that would need to be considered in any planning permit process for additional dwellings, particularly a Yellow Box of intermediate maturity, however it is considered that there will be sufficient area available for a future dwelling on each lot. A number of other issues were also raised by submitters and in additional correspondence with Council received since the report to Council to consider submissions. This included the size of the land, topography, location, orientation, proximity to neighbouring dwellings and community use. Topography, location, orientation and access issues will all need to be considered during the design process. The topography of the area will not be compromised by the construction of a dwelling on 1 Orr Lane. Current dwellings in the area show that suitable designs can be achieved that are sympathetic to both the character and topography of the area. On the proximity issue all developments have potential overlooking and abuttal issues which need to be addressed as part of the permit process. Council’s capacity to do this is significantly strengthened by consideration of the new Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy that is now in the planning scheme. In terms of community use there is little active or passive recreational use of the site and there are other open space areas close to the site. The land is not required and there is little justification for retaining and continuing to maintain it. There was a minor discrepancy in the publicly advertised plans, which is being addressed in the final subdivision plan. There was also a minor discrepancy in the report originally posted on 7 October 2013 which has been rectified in this report. These minor discrepancies will be addressed and make no difference to Council’s consideration of the substance of this matter.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS

GUIDELINES FOR THE SALE AND EXCHANGE OF COUNCIL LAND

Any sale of Council-owned land should be in the best interests of the community and provide the best result, both financial and non-financial, for Council and the community. The Guidelines for the Sale and Exchange of Council land (adopted by Council in 2009) provide that the sale of Council-owned land should be conducted through a

Page 28: Banyule City Council OM 21 October 2013 Agenda

4.3

Place – Sustainable Amenity and Built Environment PROPOSED SALE OF 1 AND 2 ORR LANE MONTMORENCY cont’d

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 28

public process, unless the circumstances justify an alternative method of sale e.g. where there is only one potential buyer like an abutting owner.

OPEN SPACE STRATEGY

The Banyule City Council Public Open Space Strategy 2007-2012 (Open Space Strategy) was adopted by Council on 1 October 2007. Amendment C63 to the Banyule Planning Scheme was gazetted on 18 November 2010, updating reference documents within the Local Planning Policy Framework. The Open Space Strategy is a reference document at Clause 21.09-6 in the Banyule Planning Scheme. The Open Space Strategy divides the municipality into precincts to ensure the needs of local residents and any local character which is unique to a particular area can be taken into account in the planning of open space. The Land is located within the Montmorency Precinct but it is not recognised as ‘open space’ in the Open Space Strategy. It does not form part of any larger parcel or link to other open space. This precinct provides ample open space, both in quality and quantity, particularly in terms of playgrounds. The Open Space Strategy provides that:

“From a quantity perspective Montmorency is well catered for with public open space. It has over 13 hectares of local and municipal level parks, as well as direct access to a further 59.2 hectares of parklands along the Plenty River Corridor. This effectively means that the residents of Montmorency have access to 8.16 hectares per 1000 residents, which is significantly above the standard quantitative benchmark of 1 hectare per 1000 people.

There are playground facilities within a relatively short distance to the Land including Harrington Reserve – local stand-alone open parkland space, which is located less than 100m to the north-west of the Land. The Open Space Strategy also provides guidance for the disposal of open space. It states that “consideration should be given to disposing of Council land classified as open space where it cannot service the community effectively as viable public open space where one or more of the following reasons exist: Lack of size; Inappropriate topography, eg. steep, swampy etc; Poor access to the site; Poor location and orientation from a community safety perspective, eg. lack of

natural surveillance, etc.; Low levels of community use; Unreasonably difficult and/or costly to maintain.”

CONCLUSION

The proposal to sell the properties is consistent with the Open Space Strategy. There is no strategic or long term purpose for Council to retain ownership of the properties. Retaining ownership does not fulfil any useful Council or community function nor does continued ownership support “best practice” service delivery. For all intents and purposes the land to be known as No. 1 Orr Lane is a stand-alone

Page 29: Banyule City Council OM 21 October 2013 Agenda

4.3

Place – Sustainable Amenity and Built Environment PROPOSED SALE OF 1 AND 2 ORR LANE MONTMORENCY cont’d

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 29

residential allotment and does not service the community effectively as viable open space due to its size and topography and No. 2 Orr Lane is an existing residential property. The Guidelines for the Sale and Exchange of Council land provide that the sale of Council-owned land should be conducted through a public process. In this instance the sale of the properties at public auction is the most appropriate method of sale. The submissions received in relation to the proposal to sell the properties have been considered having regard to current and potential future land uses, the Guidelines for the Sale and Exchange of Council land and the Open Space Strategy. Submitters’ concerns about potential over development could be alleviated by any future purchaser being obliged to enter into a section 173 agreement of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. This would, amongst other things, restrict the number of dwellings able to be constructed on the properties. Similarly Council’s existing planning controls and the new Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy in the Planning Scheme are the best way of ensuring good design outcomes for new dwellings rather than further restrictions in the proposed section 173. On this basis it is considered that the proposal to sell the properties at public auction as individual allotments should be supported subject to any future purchaser of the properties being obliged to enter into a section 173 agreement registered on title which would, amongst other things, restrict development on:

(a) the land to be known as No. 1 Orr Lane to one (1)dwelling; (b) No. 2 Orr Lane to a maximum of two (2) dwellings.

RECOMMENDATION

That Council:

1. Having considered submissions and complied with the provisions of Section 189 of the Local Government Act 1989 by giving public notice of Council’s intention to sell the Council-owned land to be known as Nos. 1 and 2 Orr Lane Montmorency and being of the opinion that the land is surplus to Council’s and the community’s needs for the following reasons:

(a) No. 1 Orr Lane does not service the community effectively as viable open space due to its size and topography; it is considered to be a stand-alone residential allotment;

(b) No. 2 Orr Lane is considered to be an existing residential property; now directs that valuations be obtained and that Nos. 1 and 2 Orr Lane

Montmorency be sold as individual allotments at public auction subject to: (c) The contract for the sale of No. 1 Orr Lane including a condition that

the purchaser be required to enter into an agreement pursuant to section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 restricting any future residential development of the land to no more than one (1) dwelling;

(d) The contract for the sale of No. 2 Orr Lane including a condition that the purchaser be required to enter into an agreement pursuant to section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 restricting any future residential development of the land to no more than two (2) dwellings.

To update Council on its Residential Vehicle Crossing Policy’s incorporation into the Planning Scheme, its status in the Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy, and the Panel’s report on Amendment C84. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER

In developing this report to Council, the subject matter has been considered to determine if it raises any human rights issues. In particular, whether the scope of any human right established by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities is in any way limited, restricted or interfered with by the recommendations contained in this report. It is considered that the subject matter does not raise any human rights issues.

CITY PLAN

This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “maintain and improve Banyule as a great place to live”.

BACKGROUND

Council adopted a Residential Vehicle Crossing Policy (the Council Policy) in 2012 and sought to enshrine it into the Banyule Planning Scheme to guide development outcomes. This was progressed through two avenues. One avenue sought to reference the Council Policy within a new Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy, with Amendment C68. Approval was recently given by the Minister for a permanent Neighbourhood Character Policy at Clause 22.02 of the Banyule Planning Scheme. The other avenue was for a separate, specific residential vehicle crossing local policy in the planning scheme, with Amendment C84. Public exhibition of C84, for the separate, specific vehicle crossing policy for the planning scheme, happened in late 2012. A Panel considered the unresolved

The Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy gives reference to the Council Policy by stating that the design of a development should “encourage outcomes that consider the Banyule City Council Vehicle Crossing Policy 2012”, and includes it as a reference document. It is the Panel’s view that residential vehicle crossings can be sufficiently managed in the Banyule Planning Scheme through the Neighbourhood Character Policy and therefore a separate, detailed policy, as proposed by Amendment C84, is not required. The Panel Report states: “The Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy is the most appropriate place to set out Council’s intent with regard to managing streetscapes, including any preferred outcomes in relation to crossovers and driveways. The recently adopted clause 22.02 adequately does this (p. 14)”. The Panel considered the more prescriptive elements of the C84 proposal were not suited to local planning policy. It concluded that the Banyule Planning Scheme gives sufficient guidance on this matter through its Neighbourhood Character Policy and Rescode. The Council Policy also requires an update to reflect the changed neighbourhood character precincts at Clause 22.02 and Council’s new City Plan. An updated version is given in Attachment 2. In practical terms the application of Council’s Residential Vehicle Crossing Policy will continue as it is now. Council’s Infrastructure department will use the policy to consider requests to install new crossovers for single dwellings or where planning permission is not required, and the Development Planning department will use the policy through its connection to the Neighbourhood Character Policy in the scheme to guide individual planning application outcomes.

CONCLUSION

The Panel believes that a separate, specific Local Policy for residential vehicle crossings in the planning scheme is not necessary. Instead the Panel considers that Council’s Policy is already appropriately part of the new Local Policy for Residential Neighbourhood Character that was recently put into the planning scheme. RECOMMENDATION

That Council:

1. Accepts the Panel’s recommendation and does not pursue Amendment C84;

2. Adopts the updated Banyule Residential Vehicle Crossing Policy.

3. Continue to use the Residential Vehicle Crossing Policy to guide decisions on crossovers and promote it to the local community.

6.1 DELEGATIONS REVIEW 2013 Author: Vivien Ferlaino - Governance & Information Co-ordinator, City

Development

File: BS04/010/002 SUMMARY

To review Council Delegations to Council staff as required by the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act). OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN

This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “enable good governance and accountability with minimal risk”.

BACKGROUND

Section 98 (6) of the Local Government Act requires that a Council must review, within the period of 12 months after a general election, all delegations which are in force and have been made by the Council. The Act provides for the delegation of Council’s powers under that Act or any other Act by instrument of delegation to the Chief Executive Officer, who in turn has the power to sub-delegate to Council staff under Section 98 (2) of the Act. A number of other Acts do not permit any sub-delegation and these instead are delegated direct from Council to staff, for instance, delegations under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the Environment Protection Act 1970. Council subscribes to a delegation package by Maddocks Solicitors. An update is received twice a year and includes advice and changes to legislation.

HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER

In developing this report to Council, the subject matter has been considered to determine if it raises any human rights issues. In particular, whether the scope of any human right established by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities is in any way limited, restricted or interfered with by the recommendations contained in this report. It is considered that the subject matter does not raise any human rights issues.

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 40

LEGAL CONSIDERATION

It is not practical for the Council and the Chief Executive Officer alone to exercise the many statutory powers bestowed on the Council. There are numerous statutes, over 80 in Victoria alone, which confer a responsibility on Councils to take action or determine matters. Council is not a natural person and therefore, on a practical level, must undertake its responsibilities through others, usually through Council officers. A delegation of a Council power enables a member of Council staff to act on behalf of Council and allows for the effective day to day functioning of Council. In accordance with section 98(1) of the Local Government Act 1989 a Council may by instrument of delegation, delegate to a member of its staff any power of a Council under this Act or any other Act other than—

(a) this power of delegation; and (b) the power to declare a rate or charge; and (c) the power to borrow money; and (d) the power to approve any expenditure not contained in a budget approved by the Council; and (e) any power of the Council under s223; and (f) any prescribed power.

Decisions by the Council

The Council is a legal entity composed of its members (ie the Councillors). Because it is not a "natural" person, it can act in only one of two ways: by resolution, or through others acting on its behalf. As a statutory entity, Council is able to do only those things which it is authorised by statute to do. The power of a Council to act by resolution is set out in section 3(5) of the Act –

"(5) Where a Council is empowered to do any act, matter or thing, the decision to do the act, matter or thing is to be made by a resolution of the Council."

Decisions by the Delegate A delegated decision, once made, is for all legal purposes a decision of the Council (section 42A of the Interpretation of Legislation Act); itself but it should be noted that Council retains all powers that it delegates under the various instruments of delegation and has the ability to exercise those powers if it so chooses. It cannot, however, overrule a decision already taken by a delegate. Chief Executive’s Delegation The instrument of delegation to the Chief Executive Officer may empower the Chief Executive Officer to exercise various powers of the Council, including the power to delegate powers to council officers. The CEO sub-delegates its powers to staff. The advantage for a Council in conferring on its chief executive officer the power of sub-delegation is that it need not concern itself with many of the details of Council

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 41

administration and enables decisions to be handled at the appropriate level within the organisation in line with the relevant member’s level of responsibility. Maddocks Lawyers have previously advised that it would be prudent for Council to update the Instrument of Delegation to the Chief Executive Officer every time delegations from Council direct to Officers are changed. Therefore, as part of this review (and every subsequent update to the delegations to Officers by Council) the Instrument of Delegation to the Chief Executive Officer will be re-made whether there are any changes or not. The Register of Delegations

Under section 98 of the Local Government Act a register of delegations to members of Council staff must be kept. Those registers of delegations including the date when delegations were last reviewed must be made available for public inspection (regulation 11(j) of the Local Government (General) Regulations 2004).

The Instruments of Delegation attached are those where Council is required to delegate its powers directly to Council staff holding certain positions within the organisation. The following delegations are being reviewed: the delegation to the CEO, Domestic Animals Act, Environment Protection Act, Food Act, Planning and Residential Tenancies Act and the Road Management Act including the regulations. The changes include updates to legislation and other minor changes have been made to update title changes ie Director City Services to Director Assets and City Services.

CONSULTATION

Delegations need to be updated when there are changes in legislation or title changes to Officers Positions, this will ensure staff are able to continue working within their authority and within the boundaries of the law.

Relevant staff have been consulted in the preparation of the new and revised Instruments.

CONCLUSION

This review ensures that Council has complied with its legislated requirement to review all delegations in force under sub-section 86(3) and 98(1) of the Local Government Act 1989. In undertaking this review, a range of general and specific matters raised by Maddocks have been addressed and incorporated into the revised Instrument of Delegation, proposed for adoption by Council. RECOMMENDATION

In the exercise of the powers conferred by section 98(1) of the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) and the other legislation referred to in the attached instrument of delegation, Council resolves that-

1. There be delegated to the members of Council staff holding, acting in or performing the duties of the offices or positions referred to in the attached Instrument of Delegations, the powers set out in that instrument, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in that Instrument.

2. The instrument comes into force immediately the common seal of Council is

affixed to the instrument.

3. On the coming into force of the instruments all previous delegations to members of Council staff are revoked.

4. The powers set out in the instruments must be executed, in accordance with any guidelines or policies of Council that it may from time to time adopt.

6.2 HEIDELBERG AND GREENSBOROUGH NEW PARKING METERS REVIEW

Author: Ana Caicedo - Project Engineer, City Development

File: BS20/035/004

Previous Items Council on 17 December 2012 (Item 9.1 - Additional pay parking

locations in Banyule) Council on 15 July 2013 (Item 4.3 - Ticket Machine Parking Fees) Council on 4 February 2013 (Item 4.5 - Ticket Machine Parking Fees) SUMMARY

Three new ticket machines were installed in April and May 2013 which service 95 paid parking spaces in Banyule. The first 25, along Studley Road in Heidelberg are serviced by two machines and the remaining 70 are located in a recently upgraded off-street car park at the corner of Para Road and Flintoff Street in Greensborough. For the three month period from July to September, the average occupancy rate for the parking restriction period was fairly consistent at around 77% for the Heidelberg area, this figure varied from 3.9% to 35.5% at the car park in Greensborough due to a change in the fee structure. The introduction of the paid parking system in Greensborough increased the demand for parking in the surrounding streets and anecdotally also around the Watsonia Railway Station. It is recognised that the provision of car parking for commuters is not considered within Council’s core responsibilities and therefore it is suggested that Council continues to advocate for both more parking in close proximity to Banyule’s railway stations, as well as improved feeder bus services. It is proposed that the occupation and parking turnover of these locations is reviewed annually and that the fees and charges related to their operation be adjusted accordingly as part of the budget process. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN

This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “develop and deliver best value services and facilities”.

BACKGROUND

At its meeting of 17 December 2012 Council considered a Notice of Motion in regards to Additional Pay Parking Locations in Banyule. Council resolved that:

Page 44: Banyule City Council OM 21 October 2013 Agenda

6.2

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 44

“1. That a report be prepared for Council on possible additional paid parking locations within the Municipality. 2. The appropriate officer take the necessary action to install as soon as possible a paid parking system on the vacant land at the corner of Flintoff Street and Para Road, Greensborough:

a. Such action to include signage, fencing, minor earth works, advertising and appropriate approvals;

b. Costs be charged to Greensborough car parking account with revenue going into the same account;

c. A report come back to Council six months after its implementation; d. Greensborough Traders be advised.

3. The appropriate officer take the necessary action to reinstall as soon as possible a paid parking system within Studley Road, Heidelberg adjoining the Austin Hospital:

a. Such action to include appropriate signage and associated installation of equipment;

b. Costs be charged to the Heidelberg car parking account with revenue going into the same account to repay the costs;

c. A report come back to Council six months after its implementation; d. The Heidelberg Traders and Austin hospital be advised.”

This report looks to respond partially to items 2 and 3 of this resolution. Additionally, at its meeting of 4 February 2013 Council approved the fee structure for the two ticket machines on Studley Road, Heidelberg, and for the parking meter that serves the car park at the corner of Para Road and Flintoff Street, Greensborough. Studley Road, Heidelberg Following Council’s resolution on 4 February 2013, a letter advising of the reinstatement of paid parking and changes to parking restrictions within Studley Road was sent to the Austin Hospital and to the Heidelberg Traders Association on 13 February 2013. Prior to the installation of paid parking in this area, two-hour parking restrictions applied from 8am to 6pm during weekdays and weekends. Two hour parking restrictions currently apply from Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm and parking tickets must be displayed in the vehicles during these times. Parking restrictions remained unchanged for other times. Table 1 summarises the parking fees currently applicable on Studley Road, Heidelberg.

All other times Unrestricted Free The process to install the paid parking system to serve 25 parking spaces along Studley Road was completed on 26 April 2013. Figure 1 highlights the parking area served by this system.

Figure 1: Studley Road, Heidelberg New Paid Parking Area Currently, there are ten car spaces along Studley Road with a 15 minute parking restriction between 7am and 6pm on weekdays and weekends. Three of these spaces are located near the Austin Hospital entrance, and seven are located on the east side of the road, near Banksia Street. These spaces serve mostly motorists picking up and dropping off passengers at the Heidelberg Railway Station and short-term visitors to the Austin Hospital. It has however been observed that these spaces are currently not well utilised through much of the day. There may be opportunities to review these spaces in the future. Para Road / Flintoff Street, Greensborough As a result of Council’s resolution on 17 December 2012, the process to install a paid parking system on the corner of Para Road and Flintoff Street was initiated. Figure 2 indicates the location of this car park.

The car park was closed on 29 January 2013 and reopened on 2 May 2013. Since then it has been operating according to the fees approved by Council at its meeting on 4 February 2013, and modified on 15 July 2013, as summarised in Table 2.

All other times Unrestricted FREE FREE Due to the initial low usage of the newly configured car park, Council resolved to reduce the price of the parking in this location at its meeting on 15 July 2013. Reprogramming of the machine in the car park was completed on 19 August 2013. Currently, parking charges in this site operate on weekdays between 6am and 6pm.

CURRENT SITUATION

Studley Road, Heidelberg Figure 4 shows the average hourly occupancy rate (i.e. the amount of vehicles inside the car park in one hour divided by the number of spaces available) during parking restriction periods over a 13 week timeframe. The maximum occupancy reached in an hour during each week is also shown. The average hourly occupancy in the last three months has varied from 47.1% to 84.9%. The week with the lowest occupancy rate corresponds to the first week of school holidays in September and October.

It is considered that the installation of the ticket machines on Studley Road has been very successful in terms of the level of service provided to visitors to the area. This is highlighted through the observed turnover of parking spaces, with more patrons able to access parking on a more regular basis due to the availability of the paid parking spaces. Additionally, the identification of motorists parking for longer than indicated has been simplified by requiring drivers to display a ticket on the dashboard. Para Road / Flintoff Street, Greensborough Since the closure of the site for the upgrade works, regular car park patrons sought other locations to park their vehicles. There have been several enquiries regarding parking availability for commuters around Greensborough Railway Station and the demand for parking in these areas has increased since the closure of the site. The increase of requests for parking restrictions around the Watsonia and Greensborough Railway Stations along with patron feedback is evidence of parking relocation. Some commuters appear to be utilising other areas in Greensborough or choosing to travel to the Watsonia Railway Station instead. In the last six months, parking restrictions have been installed in the following locations:

Longmuir Road, Watsonia April 2013 Frensham Road, Watsonia July 2013 Hume Street, Greensborough August 2013 Greensborough Tennis Club October 2013

Car Park Occupancy The average hourly occupancy in the last three months has varied from 3.9% to 35.5%. It is important to note that prior to the reprogramming of the ticket machine on 19 August 2013 no tickets were issued for free and therefore the occupancy figures prior to this date are likely to be underestimated. Figure 6 shows the average hourly occupancy rates (i.e. the amount of vehicles inside the car park in one hour divided by the number of spaces available) during a 13 week period. It also highlights the maximum occupancy reached in an hour during each week.

Figure 8 indicates the amount of tickets issued by the ticket machine each week. Based on the data available for the six weeks between August 19 and September 27, approximately 64% of tickets issued weekly at this location are free and an average of $425.60 is received weekly by Council at this stage.

Figure 8: Tickets Issued at Para Road / Flintoff Street Car Park

DISCUSSION

The data collected from the ticket machines on Studley Road, Heidelberg, show an average occupancy rate of 76.7%. Nevertheless, with the exception of one week of school holidays, most weeks in August and September had an average occupancy close to or higher than 80%. With parking occupancy rates around these levels it is considered that parking is being managed appropriately. It has been noted that given current weekend visiting times at the Austin Hospital the demand for parking in Studley Road, between Banksia Street and Burgundy Street is very high. Maintaining good turnover of the parking here is therefore important to help service this demand. As noted, the identification of motorists who park for longer than indicated is simpler when drivers are required to display a ticket on the dashboard. Given the limited availability of parking officers during weekends in the municipality and the existing parking restrictions on the Studley Road area, it is recommended that paid parking is therefore extended to weekends also. It is considered that the provision of short-term parking spaces for commuters and short-term visitors along Studley Road is important. However, given the noted poor utilisation of many of these spaces through much of the day, it is recommended that the extension of the existing paid parking area shown in Figure 1 near Banksia Street be considered. As this area is some distance from the existing paid parking machine

Page 52: Banyule City Council OM 21 October 2013 Agenda

6.2

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 52

a new machine would be required at this location. The Heidelberg Activity Centre Parking Plan is currently being developed and this paid parking extension can be considered in the development of this Plan. On the other hand, the average occupancy rate for the off-street car park at the corner of Para Road and Flintoff Street in Greensborough since the fees changed is around 28.4%. Given the site proximity to WaterMarc and the parking restrictions around the Greensborough Activity Centre it is suspected that the occupancy levels would increase over the summer school holidays and in future years, particularly as additional development takes place. It is recommended that the parking restrictions and fees be reviewed annually as part of the budget process and adjusted if needed to achieve better occupation levels and turnover times.

CONCLUSION

The analysis of the available data for the use of the on-street paid parking along Studley Road, Heidelberg show that occupancy levels, and therefore turnover times are satisfactory and no changes are proposed at this time for the management of this site. The overall performance of the off-street paid car parking at the corner of Para Road and Flintoff Street, Greensborough, over the last three months has been less than desirable. Nevertheless the data shows that patronage levels are gradually increasing and it is expected that the occupancy rates for this site will grow over the busy summer holiday period. It is recommended that no alterations be undertaken at this site at this time. RECOMMENDATION

That Council:

1. Continue to advocate for more commuter car parking facilities on the east side of Watsonia Railway Station and improved feeder bus services to all Railway Stations in Banyule.

2. Review the parking restrictions and fees of the paid parking locations in Banyule according to their occupancy and turnover levels as part of the annual budget process.

3. Modify the paid parking restrictions on Studley Road, Heidelberg, between Banksia Street and Burgundy Street, to be: 2 Hour Parking, from 8am to 8pm, all days.

4. Consider the extension of the existing paid parking area on Studley Road within the Heidelberg Activity Centre Parking Plan.

6.4 LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTORAL REVIEW - SUBMISSION

Author: Gina Burden - Manager Governance, Information & Laws, City

Development

File: BS02/040/007 SUMMARY

The State Government has established a panel to undertake a major review of the Victorian Local Government electoral system, and is seeking the views and submissions from stakeholders and the general public. This report outlines the purpose of the review and seeks endorsement of Council’s submission to the review which has been prepared in consultation with the Banyule Councillors. OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN

This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “enable good governance and accountability with minimal risk”.

BACKGROUND

On 17 September 2013, correspondence was received by Council from the Local Government Electoral Review Panel advising that the Electoral Review was under way stating that the goal of the review is to improve the electoral system for local government in Victoria and will examine the local government electoral process, participation, integrity and electoral representation. Petro Georgiou AO has been appointed as the chair of the Panel. This is an important review and the largest one to be done in a long time in relation to the process of electing councillors. The goal of the review is to improve the integrity of the system, and to ensure that genuine and high quality candidates are put forward for election. Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell appointed the independent review Panel in August 2013. The Panel is expected to deliver two reports to the Minister, in January and April 2014. The recommendations of the Panel are likely to lead to a number of significant changes to the Local Government Act 1989.

CONSULTATION

Public Hearings and Submissions A comprehensive discussion paper has been prepared and released by the Panel which is available for reading at www.localgovernment.vic.gov.au. The Panel is holding formal public hearings across Victoria in October. At the hearings, people have been encouraged to express their views on Victoria’s local government electoral system to the panel. The Panel is also seeking written submissions, which close on 5 November 2013. Councillor input At the Councillor Briefing held on 30 September 2013, Councillors workshopped the questions and discussion points raised in the Panel’s discussion paper. It was agreed that Council should prepare a written submission to the Panel and that the submission be based on the feedback received from the Councillors. Cr. Jenny Mulholland, on behalf of Council, also attended one of the scheduled public hearings which was held on 14 October 2013 at the Melbourne Town Hall, at which she presented the views of Council which have been reflected in Council’s submission.

DISCUSSION

Purpose and Terms of Reference In explaining the purpose of the Local Government Electoral Review, the chairman, Petro Georgiou, states that the local government system has evolved over decades, essentially through a series of progressive, incremental reforms. This review of the local government electoral system presents a fresh opportunity to look at the system of local democracy in its entirety. The discussion paper has been designed to begin a genuine dialogue about how local government democracy can best work. The issues and challenges outlined in it are a starting point for a wide-ranging discussion with the community, not a final analysis of the issues that require attention. The Panel is seeking the views of Victorians with a view to proposing a range of improvements that will support the reputation of the local government sector and community confidence in the integrity of local democratic governance. The Terms of Reference for the review are as follows. 1. Electoral Process Whether improvements can be made to ensure the integrity of the electoral process, including addressing matters raised in the course of the 2012 election including, but not limited to, the following: a) candidate integrity including issues regarding ‘dummy’ candidates, information

disclosure, existing candidacy requirements, campaign funding and disclosure. b) the role of the Victorian Electoral Commission in electoral administration and

cost implications of this for councils, complaint handling and timeliness in responding.

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 57

2. Participation Whether improvements can be made to ensure the highest level of participation in local government elections, including: a) improving public understanding and awareness of elections and candidates b) consistency and promoting greater understanding of voter eligibility rules c) use of postal and attendance voting and impact on informal voting d) franchise and eligibility provisions. 3. Integrity Whether any other changes can be made that will enhance the integrity of local government elections, candidate conduct and governance? 4. Electoral representation Whether the current system of electoral representation is appropriate to ensure fairness and consistency of representation within municipalities and between municipalities including: a) distribution of wards b) different ballot counting systems (proportional and preferential) across

municipalities. Key Issues There are 53 questions, covering 18 topics, raised in the discussion paper on which the Panel is seeking feedback. For Banyule, the key issues of focus include:

Candidate information (what should be provided?) – The view of some of the Councillors is that there should be a set template that all candidates must complete when submitting their candidate enrolment which should include political party membership, address and other contact information.

Candidate participation – That it be mandatory for all new candidates to attend pre enrolment induction training. All candidates should also be required to enrol in person and pay by credit card to reduce the incidence of “dummy” candidates.

Polling methods – Banyule Council strongly supports the current provision that

allows councils themselves to determine the polling method. If there is to be one uniform method then this should be by attendance voting, consistent with State and Federal Governments. Some Councillors also consider that optional preferential voting (vote for 1 or more candidates) should be considered as an alternative voting method, which would reduce the impact of “dummy” candidates.

Electoral representation reviews – These should remain at every 12 years but

perhaps be held sooner for faster growing municipalities. The minimum number of councillors should be increased from the current minimum of 5 to 7, and the maximum should be capped at 11 rather than the current 12. Council strongly supports the single ward structure which works well in Banyule and requests that this option be retained.

Overall, there is general agreement amongst the Banyule Councillors that the standards that apply for the other levels of government, be it polling method or voting

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 58

system, should also apply to local government and that this consistency is important and would be less confusing for all.

CONCLUSION

Council welcomes the ability to provide input into this wide ranging review of the local government electoral system. The submission paper that has been prepared highlights those issues which Banyule Council believes are important for retaining the integrity of local government and improving electoral representation within Victoria. RECOMMENDATION

That Council adopt the Banyule Submission to the Local Government Electoral Review (attached) and that the submission be forwarded to the Review Panel by the due date of 5 November 2013.

In accordance with Section 134 of the Local Government Act 1989, Council must consider for adoption its Annual Report 2012-2013 (as attached) for the 12 months ended 30 June 2013 at a Meeting of Council.

They were then presented for ‘in principle’ approval by Council (at the 9 September 2013 Council Meeting) so they could be formally lodged with the Victorian Auditor-General for a final audit and issue of the formal Audit Report. Banyule’s Annual Report 2012-2013 was then submitted to the Minister for Local Government within three-months of the end of the financial year. Banyule’s Annual report has been complimented by the Auditor General in its completeness and thoroughness as an exemplary report.

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 60

A copy of the report on the performance statement (prepared under Section 133)

Any other matters required by the regulations. The report of Council’s operations must be prepared in a form and contain information determined by the Council to be appropriate, and contain any other information required by the regulations. The key information required in the report of Council’s operations includes, but is not limited to, the following: A statement which reviews the performance of Council against the Council Plan

(Banyule’s City Plan 2009-2013), including outcomes in relation to the strategic indicators in the Council Plan.

Information on aspects such as: factors that have had an impact on Council’s performance, major policy initiatives, major works undertaken or completed, major changes that have taken place, and other major operations and achievements of the Council

Information with respect to the nature and range of activities undertaken by the Council

Information on the administrative structure of the Council, Council offices, and Councillors

And a range of other requirements. The other key elements to be incorporated in the annual report, namely the audited standard statements, audited financial statements, performance statement, and report of the performance statement, also need to be addressed in accordance with specific requirements as outlined in the legislation. Financial Statements The Financial Statements comprise the Comprehensive Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, the Cash Flow Statement and notes accompanying these Financial Statements. The Comprehensive Income Statement lists the income and expenditure under various categories to arrive at the surplus or deficit for the year. This Statement summarises all the income and expenditure transactions for the financial year ended 30 June 2013. The Balance Sheet is prepared as at 30 June 2013 and lists all Council’s assets and liabilities under various categories. Total assets less total liabilities equals net assets which balances to Council’s equity, which is made up of accumulated surplus and reserves. The Statement of Changes in Equity shows the movements in the balances of accumulated surplus and reserves from the beginning to the end of the financial year. The Cash Flow Statement summarises the amount of cash received and spent during the year. The net difference in cash movements is equal to the movement in the cash and cash equivalents balance, from the beginning to the end of the financial year, as shown in the Balance Sheet. The Cash Flow Statement shows the net movement in cash for the operating, investing and financing activities.

The financial result for Banyule for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 produced an operating surplus of $4.41 million. This surplus arose as a result of: Income being $1.07 million more than budget - Income from government grants

exceeded budget by $3.29 million. This is offset by User Fees & Charges and Contributions income both being less than budget.

Expenditure being $2.74 less than budget - Expenditure savings were achieved in the areas of Materials, Contracts & Services costs and Employee costs.

Council has loans of $31.74 million and is guarantor for $101,000 of loans raised by various pro-active community organisations for the development and/or improvement of Council owned building assets. The non-current assets equal $1,208.8 million of which $339.4 million or approximately 28.1% comprises infrastructure assets. Audited Standard Statements are included in the Annual Report in accordance with Section 131 of the Local Government Act 1989. The Standard Statements show the variance between budgeted amounts and actual amounts in the four standard statements. The four standard statements are Standard Income Statement, Standard Balance Sheet, Standard Cash Flow Statement and a Standard Statement of Capital Works. Material variances are explained in the Variance Explanation Reports. Council is required to produce a Performance Statement in accordance with Section 132 of the Local Government Act 1989. The objectives of the Performance Statement are to ensure Local Government has: An improved capacity to objectively measure Council’s performance leading to

a better set of relationships between State and Local Governments; and Better informed local communities. The Performance Statement has been found by the Victorian Auditor-General to present fairly Council’s performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 as measured against the Annual Plan which forms part of the City Plan and Budget. AUDIT CERTIFICATION The audit of the Performance Statement, Financial Statements and Standard Statements was undertaken by a contractor to the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office and signed by Mr Ronald Mak for Mr John Doyle, Auditor-General, on 26 September 2013. The Audit Reports on the Performance Statement, Financial Statements and Standard Statements contain no qualifications and Council’s accounting systems and financial position are considered to be sound. Each of the Statements have been subject to thorough scrutiny by Council’s Audit Committee at its meeting on Friday, 6 September 2013, who recommended ‘in principle’ approval by Council at its meeting on Monday, 9 September 2013 prior to forwarding them to the Victorian Auditor-General for final checking and certification.

Notice of Motion

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 71

8.1 PLENTY ROAD PRECINCT Author: Cr Rick Garotti

Ward: Grimshaw

File: ST6045 TAKE NOTICE that it is my intention to move: “That Council:

1. Investigates greater density development outcomes for residential properties abutting and in the vicinity of Plenty Road in Bundoora between Grimshaw Street and to the edge of the City of Banyule close to LaTrobe University.

2. Organises a meeting with the Ward Councillor, the Mayor, officers and

residents and property owners of this locality to discuss ways of ensuring better development outcomes for the area.”

Explanation Community concern appears to be growing in recent times over the state of some residential properties in Bundoora. A cursory examination of the area suggests that a number of properties appear to be poorly maintained, with a decline in the quality of both buildings and gardens in some parts of Bundoora in particular. Further observations suggest that rental properties, student accommodation in particular, may be causing local amenity issues because of the state of some buildings and gardens, and rubbish both within the properties and on adjoining nature strips. There have been a number of Council strategies and guidelines developed to encourage good housing outcomes. The Student Accommodation Guidelines, August 2010 were developed to encourage appropriate and well-managed forms of student accommodation by promoting student housing on sites near the Principal Public Transport Network (PPTN) or in activity areas. These strategies are designed to ensure the development of more appropriate forms of housing in light of Council’s Housing Strategy - adopted in 2009 and now part of the Banyule Planning Scheme. The Housing Strategy has a range of aspirational goals that includes encouraging:

Housing located with good access to public transport, shops and services. Housing that is designed, constructed and used to substantially reduce environmental impacts, particularly for energy consumption, carbon emissions, water conservation and motor vehicle dependency.

High quality housing stock that complements the existing and preferred

neighbourhood character whilst satisfying the needs of a diverse range of residents from all ages, family types, ethnicities, incomes and aspirations.

8.1

Notice of Motion PLENTY ROAD PRECINCT cont’d

Ordinary Meeting of Council - 21 October 2013 Page 72

Housing that is well supported by infrastructure, services and transport, takes advantage of public transport networks and helps to reduce motor vehicle dependency.

These goals are supported by the Housing Framework map in the planning scheme which identifies preferred locations for change. This includes areas along Plenty Road because of their proximity to public transport and especially the neighbouring tram services. While Council must continue to vigorously pursue cleansing, planning, building and local law avenues for enforcing and improving residential amenity in Bundoora. It may, however, be even more beneficial to consider the longer-term direction of housing development in the area. When considering Council’s policy directions in the City Plan, the Housing Strategy, the Banyule Planning Scheme and the Student Accommodation Guidelines, it may be worth considering ways of encouraging better development outcomes in Bundoora. This may then start to address the long-term housing needs of the area and look at changes to the housing mix to better service local students and improve the quality of buildings and local amenity. In light of that policy context localities well placed to focus on housing development for students in particular would be areas either adjacent to or in close proximity to the PPTN, such as Plenty Road, Bundoora. Such an area, say from Grimshaw Street to the edge of Banyule close to LaTrobe University, would be worth focusing on as it is supported as an area for growth in both the Banyule Planning Scheme and the Student Accommodation Guidelines. Council could consider investigating ways in which it could better manage the land use of that area to improve amenity, address some existing concerns and explore greater densities. This may include translating the existing residential zone for this area to one of the State’s new residential zones. This might then more accurately reflect Council’s policy for this location. This would also build on Council’s existing policy commitment to promoting this Plenty Road Precinct as an accessible location for more diverse housing forms, including student housing.

COUNCILLOR REPORT ON ATTENDANCE AT CONFERENCE/VISIT REQUIRING INTERSTATE OR OVERSEAS TRAVEL

COUNCILLOR: Jenny Mulholland & Steven Briffa

INTERSTATE / OVERSEAS Conference/ Seminar/ Visit attended: ‘Great Society; what is Local Government’s Role?’ 2013 LGMA National Congress Hobart ,Tasmania Date attended 19–22 May 2013 Value of Conference/Visit – (Councillor Report): (Outline main purpose of the conference/visit. Attach copy of conference Agenda / itinerary) The conference looks at what the future will hold for most Local Governments and review the existing indicators that measure the value of cities. A number of key issues affecting the sector were addressed, including the need to review the current models of Local Government management and how to engage with communities in a hyperconnected World. These questions were posed? What is the role of local government in the creation of societies? Do we know what communities want? What makes residents happy? We collect rates, pave roads and shift rubbish, but else do we do, and do we do it well? Key Messages/Highlights: (Outline issues raised by key note speakers or main themes discussed) The Theme of the Congress was ‘Great Society’. In order to explore this Theme the following questions were explored during Conference sessions: - What is Local Government’s Role? - How do we measure it? - Why is it important? - How do we create it? - What does it look like? Benefits to Banyule City Council: (Outline the benefits/learning’s for Banyule City Council as a result of attending the conference/ visit) This précis of the LGMA National Congress provides a snapshot of the networking and learning opportunities that were available. As is the situation with Kingborough Council in Tasmania, Banyule Council is seizing on a rare opportunity to acquire State Government education land for the benefit of our community. The recent natural disasters in Christchurch New Zealand and Lockyer Valley Queensland show the imperative of having a comprehensive Municipal Emergency Management Plan that is regularly reviewed with knowledge from such events.

Our World is rapidly changing and technology is having a significant impact on how our communities wish to communicate, such as social media. This conference investment has provided us with valuable ongoing learning reference points and we trust that this will assist our ongoing decision making as civic leaders. Finally, is Banyule on track to create a ‘Great Society’? We think so, although there will always be key issues, change, new challenges and opportunities. Suggestions for Future Action: (If appropriate, include any suggestions for action that have resulted from the attendance) When Council embarks on the development of its new office accommodation in Greensborough above WaterMarc, the ‘Green Star Rating Tools’ of the Green Building Council of Australia should be front of mind.

The sessions in detail: Sunday, 19 May 2013 Registration and the Welcome Reception took place and this provided the first opportunity for elected officials and professional officers to gather and network, make new acquaintances and gain an appreciation that the issues each Council faces are not unique. This time also provided the first opportunity to meet Local Government Business Partners and Trade Exhibitors who were part of the Business Expo and provide ongoing products and services to Councils. For delegates this was a ‘one stop’ opportunity to experience a range of products and programs that are available, including new initiatives and innovations being implemented in Local Government across Australia. Monday, 20 May 2013 The Conference official opening ceremony took place at the Grand Chancellor Hotel with a Welcome to Country and a choir performance from local Primary School children. Over the following two days the format of the conference consisted of Keynote addresses and a choice of concurrent sessions on different Topics relating to Great Society. A Keynote address on Indicators of Great Society was delivered by the Chief Executive Officer – City of Melbourne, Dr Kathy Alexander. Kathy shared her views on what was important in measuring greatness in Society and how the 24 hour dynamic and cosmopolitan City of Melbourne goes about meeting these ideals and consistently rates around the top of international surveys on liveability. Kathy indicated that civic engagement and good planning underpin a great City and great societies have the following aspects: - Economic growth and prosperity by fostering business opportunities; - Cultural outlets for the community, including interfacing with the Arts; - Community engagement in civic life and decision making; and

- Environmental sustainability. Above all, cities essentially remain are a place for people to meet, recreate, work and thrive. Melbourne City, as with all other great Cities of the World, are growing rapidly and this creates challenges for maintaining greatness. To ensure Melbourne stays liveable and friendly, social equity issues also need to be constantly addressed. Growth must be fair and supportive for all in the community. The City also has a Zero Net Emissions strategy in its policy framework on sustainability and Council aims to be carbon neutral by 2020. Concurrent sessions for the day included the following Topics: - What the Future Looks Like

This session considered the ageing baby boomers, new immigrants, population growth, the new digital economy and digital democracy where few Local Governments will escape some kind of demographic or society shifts in coming years. The session also looked at major trends anticipated over the next 20 years and presenters shared their experiences in dealing with major changes confronting their communities. One of the presenters was John Benny, CEO City of Greater Dandenong Victoria. John commenced his presentation by stating ‘It’s a given, that Local Government will be different in the future to the past’. Some of the critical factors that John outlined for the Local Government sector in the future are: Our capacity to strategically plan for this change More specifically, our intelligence or awareness on what is likely to emerge Our preparedness to be aware of and open to, that change Our flexibility and nimbleness in responding The extent to which we can lead and engage with our community in transitioning to a future

state, and Legislative and governance arrangements …. or entrenched practices that might mitigate

against change

- Indicators of a Great Society This session explored the question of ‘How Do We Measure a Great Society?’ and ‘do existing indicators do a good job in reflecting the value of societies?’ Amongst the presenters was Robin Mallon from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) who discussed how Councils can achieve ‘great Australian societies’, manage change and engagement and use a community-scale rating tool to measure the social, economic and environmental sustainability of new developments on neighbourhoods to precincts. Robin spoke on five vital principles for sustainable communities including liveability, design and place, environmental quality, economic prosperity and urban governance. Further, he cited the need to change from green to efficient, healthy and productive buildings and referred to the GBCA Green Star Rating Tools. Some examples of Green Star communities discussed by Robin included the six star Pixel building in Carlton Victoria, also the five star social affordable Lilyfield housing redevelopment in New South Wales.

Robin referred participants to the following website www.gbac.org.au for information on the various topics mentioned in this concurrent session and also the publication, ‘Evolution - A Year in Sustainable Building’.

- The Creation of a Great Society – Local Government’s Role This session examined how Local Government is going through a period in which it is being asked to redefine itself. What is its role in enabling great societies, beyond collecting rates, maintaining roads and shifting rubbish? Various Australian States are undertaking reviews to address this question, whilst the constitutional recognition debate was unfolding. One of the presenters for this session was Mark Ferguson, General Manger, Pittwater Council New South Wales. Mark’s presentation highlighted the following for Local Government: Challenges: Climate change Living sustainably Affordability of housing Lifestyle/liveability Employment opportunities Traffic and transport Over development/under development Neighbourhood compliance

Key Issues: Response to major events will shape character. Treat every issue as a major event and by acting ethically, respect and right of individuals. Have the vision and share it with the community to achieve the outcomes. Have the courage and the energy to tackle big issues. Treat engagement as an investment not a cost.

Tuesday, 21 May 2013 The day commenced with a keynote address from Bob Parker, Mayor City of Christchurch New Zealand. The Theme of the address was ‘Rebuilding and Redeveloping a Great Society’. Bob Parker became famous around the World as the public face of a Historic City in an extreme crisis coming to grips with the impact of the devastating earthquake two years ago and his view of the importance of social capital in rebuilding a great City. Bob Parker played a short video recording of the earthquake event to a very silent audience so that delegates could gauge the extent of damage that occurred. This address then focused on two major components, being: 1. Mobilisation and engagement of the community to focus on the recovery effort and rebuilding

process. 2. Coordination of various public and service authorities with implementation of emergency

management plans and cutting bureaucracy and red tape to speed up the recovery process, particularly with planning and rebuilding requirements.

Concurrent sessions for the day included the following: - The Value of a CEO

This session addressed the question of, what is the use of establishing a vision for Local Government’s role in building great societies, if CEO’s are unable to drive them? What is, and should be, the role between executives and elected officials? Basically, this workshop’s aim was to take a look at the need for a review of current models of management in Australian Local Governments. A number of current CEO presenters discussed some of problems they negotiate on a day-to-day basis including issues like amalgamations, salary caps and political challenges. This session also included international representatives with presentations on their models such as Executive Mayor, City Manager and CEO.

- Rebuilding a Great Society; What’s important from the Local Government perspective This session looked at major upheavals such as a natural disaster, community riot or economic downturn and their respective opportunities and challenges. Once infrastructure and service delivery are operating as normal and the streets are safe – what comes next? Unpacking these next steps in these situations is critical in identifying the ingredients of great societies. Presentations from Local Governments who have taken on this challenge at the highest level were featured. Ian Flint, CEO Lockyer Valley Regional Council Queensland, delivered an address in relation to the devastating 10 January 2011 flood event, followed by a further flood event on the 2013 Australia Day weekend. Across the Council area,, 19 people lost their lives and 2,409 homes were damaged and flooded. Seventy-seven per cent of road infrastructure was ruined with an estimated clean-up bill of more than $220m. After being devastated by the worst flood to hit the Country in living memory, Council had some tough decisions to make. - What do we do next? - How do we start rebuilding? - How do we make the region safe again? - Where do we house people left homeless?

What was required to address these questions, was good leadership and vision! Ian Flint then went on to talk about implementation of the Community Recovery Plan and the Renewal and Resilience Plan which outlined how Council was going to achieve its goals set out in the Community Recovery Plan.

- Community Engagement, Modern Democracy This session considered how we live in a hyper-connected World residing in local communities while being a part of many others without geographical boundaries. More and more people are engaged with the media, governments and commercial organisations in two-way communication thus empowering us as citizens. This raised the question of – What does this mean for democracy and governance? Are Local Governments doing enough to listen to communities and are they responding appropriately?

This session further considered the work of Local Government professionals from across Australia and New Zealand who took part in the 2013 Australasian Management Challenge. Their task was to consider the issue of community engagement, review their organisations mechanisms and policy for engagement and develop improvement strategies. The Facilitator for this session was a keynote speaker, Mark Pesce, and Stonnington City Council who provided an overview of its community jury and how it evolved, particularly with increasing use of social media.

Wednesday, 22 May 2013 – Study Tour ‘Kingborough and Surrounds’ The Tour started with a visit to the Kingborough Civic Centre where participants were briefed on the opportunities and challenges currently facing the Council such as the new high school and sporting precinct and the integration that has occurred between the school and Council’s sporting facilities. Kingborough Council has been one of the fastest growing municipalities in Tasmania over the last 20 years. The population has increased from less than 15,000 in the early 1990’s to the current 35,000. During this time there has been continual pressure placed on the Council to provide improved infrastructure and community related services. In 2010 the State Government built a new $35m eco-friendly high school adjacent to the Kingborough Council’s Indoor Sports Centre. At the same time a new $40m road bypass was built to relieve the Kingston central area of through traffic to Hobart. Council, with the assistance of both the Federal and State Governments, invested over $10m in the development of its new Twin Ovals premier playing fields, a new State Gymnastics Centre and a new indoor sports stadium. Council is now in the process of acquiring the former Kingston High School site adjacent to the Kingston CBD from the State Government. This 11 hectare site is a once in a lifetime opportunity to grow the CBD area and provide residents with a community space. At the same time the Channel Court shopping centre is investing over $50m in the redevelopment of their site. Kingborough is also the home of the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD). The AAD employees some 400 people at its Kingston headquarters and coordinates all activities and expeditions to the Antarctic. Delegates were able to experience first-hand the work being undertaken at the AAD and be briefed on the latest research around global warming and the impact this is having on Antarctica. A Guided Tour of the site and facilities was also provided to delegates which covered areas such as scientific research, vehicle and equipment workshops and specific expedition clothing store. The Tour also covered the municipality’s significant area of coastline to gain a snapshot of responses needed to address climate change and the need for locally developed action plans. The final stage included a guided cruise from the southern hamlet of Kettering, up the Derwent River to Hobart, exploring natural environmental features such as Brunhy and Betsey Islands and economic opportunities arising from tourism and entrepreneurial activities including aqua cultural fish farms.

ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 21 OCTOBER 2013 Page 184

SUBMISSION TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTORAL REVIEW 2013 OVERVIEW: Banyule City Council welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Local Government Electoral Review. This is an important review which touches on many key matters that are fundamental to the integrity and democratic functioning of local government. Council agrees that these matters need review and possible reform in some areas to ensure the reputation of the local government sector is enhanced into the future, and bringing with it, increased community confidence in the sector. The views expressed in this submission were endorsed by Council at its meeting held on 21 October 2013. While there have been many issues and questions raised in the Local Government Electoral Review Discussion Paper, Banyule Council has focussed its submission on those areas that it believes will most impact on improved local government democracy and enhance the quality of representation for local communities. Overall, Council believes that the starting point for any reforms to the electoral system for local government in Victoria should be based on the models that apply for both State and Federal Governments. While it is acknowledged that there are differences in the way each of these levels operates, and need to operate, consistency of approach in government would circumvent a lot of the confusion and possible disinterest that many in the community currently experience. VOTERS Council generally supports the current voting entitlements and eligibility criteria for local government elections. It is considered appropriate that the State roll be the main basis for determining voter eligibility and that voting be compulsory for those on the State roll, including persons aged over 70. The current CEO’s roll should be by application only. This would eliminate any anomalies between those that receive automatic enrolment and those that can be enrolled by application. Voting should be compulsory for all those that are enrolled, as is the case with the City of Melbourne, whether this is through automatic enrolment or by application. Otherwise the effort in producing the CEO’s roll, in addition to the State roll, seems pointless. CANDIDATES With regard to candidate information, it is acknowledged that particularly in elections with large numbers of candidates contesting, increased and better information about the candidates will allow for more informed voting. However, any measures that are aimed at reducing the number of ‘dummy’ candidates will not only reduce the size of the contests but

ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 21 OCTOBER 2013 Page 185

should make it easier for voters to choose between the genuine candidates. The focus therefore needs to be on addressing the ‘dummy’ candidate issue. Eligibility Council considers that the current eligibility requirement for candidates is appropriate, namely that the candidates must be on the State roll for the municipality they wish to contest. This requires them to be a resident of the municipality. Candidates Information One measure that could improve the quality of information about candidates is for a set template to be produced which candidates must complete and includes political party membership, contact details including address, community experience, qualifications, and other basic information. This information should be made available on the VEC website. No candidate statements or How to Vote cards should be printed by the VEC. While privacy may be a concern in relation to providing contact details, anyone prepared to enter into public life needs to be aware that their privacy will be impacted. ‘Dummy’ candidates in particular, will be dissuaded if a higher level of accountability and scrutiny is applied. Currently candidates are able to provide generic email addresses and PO Box details, which don’t even need to belong to them, therefore making it easier for the proliferation of ‘dummies’. Candidate Participation With regard to the question, “How significant is the issue of ‘dummy’ candidates?” Council believes that it is a significant issue particularly for councils where the proportional representation system is in use. Banyule Council has single wards, where the preferential system applies, and the issue of ‘dummy’ candidates is less of a problem. Council is in favour of the single ward structure, which is discussed further in this submission, and would recommend that as a measure for reducing the incidence of dummy candidates, that it be considered as the universal ward system for all councils. Candidates are currently required to enrol in person and it is important that this practice continue. It should be supplemented with a more rigorous interview process by the VEC, and an increase in the application fee to $500. Additionally, the payment of the fee should be by personal credit card or cheque, no cash allowed. This would create additional effort for non-genuine candidates, who would rather not use their own credit cards or bank accounts, which would mean waiting to be reimbursed by the persons who are using them as ‘dummy’ candidates. Further, to filter the real candidates from those that are not so serious, all candidates should be required to attend compulsory basic induction training pre-application. Also, consideration should be given to reviewing the current arrangements for application fee refunds. This could perhaps be increased to candidates obtaining at least 10% of first preference votes. Campaign Donations and Caretaker Period Council considers that the current caretaker period provisions and the policies that councils put in place to govern this period, are more than satisfactory and work well. It also supports the current requirements for campaign donations and the disclosure of such donations. It is not necessary for any group to be banned from making donations as long as the disclosures

are occurring. Council again reiterates that the rules should be consistent with those that apply for the other levels of government. ELECTIONS Polling method Banyule Council is one of the few councils that continues to use attendance voting as its polling method and strongly believes that councils should be able to retain the ability to choose the polling method. If there is to be only one method available to local government, then Council would argue very strongly that this should be attendance voting, consistent with State and Federal government elections. It is very confusing for voters to have different systems in operation, not only across local governments in other states, but between the different levels of government. With attendance voting, the option of postal and pre-poll voting is still available to voters. Pre-poll voting should however, be confined to 2 weeks prior to the election date, as it is very onerous on candidates wishing to attend to pre-poll centres. To make it easier for voters over the age of 70 to vote, particularly if it was made compulsory for this age group, postal voting should be automatically provided for persons aged over 70. It would be preferable if the voting system was consistent across local government to avoid confusion. To reduce the incentive for using ‘dummy’ candidates for the purpose of distributing preferences, it is considered that optional preferential voting would be a good system whereby voters can choose to select one or more candidates of their choice. Complaints handling Council considers that there needs to be further restrictions on how to vote cards. There should be a limit of 2 per candidate allowed to be approved, and only persons who are candidates should be allowed to produce how to vote cards. More guidelines and restrictions need to be developed and enforced in relation to authorising electoral material on social media. Social media does present some interesting challenges. For example, how can electoral material be authorised on Twitter? Consideration may need to be given to banning it altogether. Any restrictions though should be consistent with what applies for State and Federal elections. There needs to be tighter rules about the truthfulness of information provided by candidates and deceptive campaign material should attract hefty penalties. Where possible, complaints handling should occur within 24 hours and the results should be published on the VEC website. Council considers that while candidates can be members of a political party, there should be no party endorsement allowed in local government. This includes party involvement in campaigns, or endorsement and printing of electoral material. AFTER THE ELECTIONS There is much to learn and take in as a new councillor, any one privileged enough to be elected to represent their community, owes it to that community to become informed and educated in the role of councillor and to understand the key issues facing their municipality. It is critical that every new councillor attend induction training and this should be made mandatory.

Item: 6.4 Attachment 1: Local Government Electoral Review Submission

ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 21 OCTOBER 2013 Page 187

ELECTORAL REPRESENTATION Council considers that the holding of an Electoral Representation Review should continue to be performed by the VEC and held every 12 years, with perhaps more frequent reviews for the larger growth councils. The minimum number of councillors should be increased from 5 to 7, and the maximum reduced from 12 to 11. Banyule Council believes that at 7 councillors it has the right level of representation and the dynamics work very effectively at that number. In relation to ward structure, Banyule Council argues that single wards offer the best and fairest level of representation for the community. It is simple for the community to understand, and easy for them to know who to turn to for representation of their issues. Cr. Wayne Phillips Mayor
