LOCAL PLANNING SCHEME No 2

AMENDMENT No 3

BASIC AMENDMENT

To Introduce the deemed provisions of the

Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015

October 2019

SHIRE OF CARNAMAH

1 Report Summary To consider proposed Amendment No. 3 to Town Planning Scheme No.2 to align the scheme with the deemed provisions contained in Schedule 2 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (the regulations) and to provide an overview of the regulations.

2 Background Section 256 of the Planning and Development Act provides for the Minister for Planning to make regulations in regard to planning schemes. Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (the regulations) came into effect on 19 October 2015. They replace the Town Planning Regulations 1967 and associated Model Scheme Text (MST). The regulations are a major part of the planning reform agenda being undertaken by the State Government. The regulations consist of three elements being:

• Regulations that govern the preparation and amendment of local planning strategies and schemes, and the review of local planning schemes;

• Model Scheme Provisions (Schedule 1) that should be followed in all local planning schemes; and

• Deemed Provisions (Schedule 2) that automatically apply in every operational local planning scheme in Western Australia.

Local Planning Strategies and Schemes The processes for adopting local planning strategies and schemes are consistent with those contained in the previous regulations. Scheme amendments The regulations introduce a track-based approach to local planning scheme amendments that enables amendments to be classified as either a basic, standard or complex amendment. The amendment types are defined in r34, and can be summarised as follows: Basic: an amendment of an administrative nature including:

• correction of an administrative error

• incorporating model provisions

• compliance with the deemed provisions

• compliance with an Act or State Planning Policy

• zoning of land that is consistent with an approved structure plan, where the zones exist within the schemes

Standard: an amendment that is:

• consistent with a zone or reserve

• consistent with a local planning strategy

• consistent with a structure plan but the zones do not exist within the scheme

• considered to have minimal impact on surrounding land

• not basic or complex

Complex: an amendment that is:

• not consistent with a local planning strategy

• not addressed in a local planning strategy

• to be made at the direction of the Minister

• for a development contribution area or development contribution plan

• of a scale that is significant relative to development in the locality. The classification of an amendment in turn influences the consultation requirements and timeframes in which the amendment must be dealt with. The public consultation requirements have been amended, in addition to timeframes now being imposed on both the local government and WAPC for processing of the amendment, as outlined in the table below:

Scheme Amendment

Advertising Local government consideration period

(post advertising)

WAPC timeframe to make

recommendation to Minister

Basic No advertising required Amendment to be provided to

WAPC within 21 days of Council resolution to prepare or adopt

N/A 42 days

Standard 42 days 60 days post end date of submission period

60 days

Complex 60 days *WAPC approval required prior

to advertising

90 days post end date of submission period

90 days

A local government can apply to the WAPC for an extension of the consideration period. The WAPC can extend their timeframe to make a recommendation to the Minister subject to the approval of the Minister or an authorised person. There are no timeframes imposed on the Minister to make a decision. A Council resolution will still be required to prepare or adopt a scheme amendment and the resolution will need to specify the classification of the amendment and an explanation as to why the amendment type is appropriate. Model Provisions The model provisions are to be used when new planning schemes are being prepared. They contain the scheme provisions in regard to matters such as the zones and reserves, objectives, land use permissibility, development standards and special control areas. The model provisions can be varied, subject to the approval of the Minister. Deemed Provisions Section 257B of the Planning and Development Act 2005 provides the ability for deemed provisions to be enforced as part of each local planning scheme to which they apply. From the 19 October 2015, the deemed provisions contain in Schedule 2 of the regulations, form part of Scheme No.2. Where there is a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of Scheme No.2 and the deemed provisions, the deemed provisions prevail. The local government is required to comply with, and where appropriate, enforce the deemed provisions, as they form part of the Scheme.

The deemed provisions deal primarily with administrative matters of the scheme, including information to be submitted with a development approval application, advertising of applications, matters to be considered when determining applications and the determination of development approval applications. The deemed provisions do also detail when development approval is not required (exempt development). The deemed provisions cannot be varied. Supplemental provisions can be approved by the Minister, including additional exemptions from development approval. Amendment No. 3 proposes to delete provisions which are inconsistent with the prevailing deemed provisions and amend others to ensure consistency with the deemed provisions.

3 Amendment Classification In respect to Amendment No. 3 it is recommended that it be classified by Council as a basic amendment pursuant to Regulation 34 (c), given that it proposes to delete provisions of the Scheme which have been superseded by the deemed provisions. In respect to the form which Council’s resolution to prepare the amendment must take, new regulation 35 (1) requires that this be in a form approved by the WAPC. The DPLH has published a Form 2A for this purpose, and this report’s recommendation is provided to be consistent with this form. The next steps in the procedure for a basic amendment requires:

• the amendment to be forwarded to the WAPC within 21 days of passing of the resolution to prepare the amendment;

• the amendment to be referred to the Environmental Protection Authority to determine whether it needs to be assessed under the Environmental Protection Act;

4 Recommendation

Third party participation in planning matters

A person who is not an applicant or a

respondent can participate in a State

Administrative Tribunal (SAT) planning matter.

Such a person is known as a 'third party'. The

applicant and the respondent are together

known as 'the parties'.

Can a third party appeal to SAT?

There are generally no third party appeal rights

in relation to planning decisions in Western

Australia. Unless a local planning scheme or

local law allows a third party to apply to SAT

for review of a decision, only the applicant for

planning approval or a person to whom a

direction or notice is given by a planning

authority may appeal to SAT.

Can a third party be joined as a party?

Under section 243 of the Planning and

Development Act 2005, SAT’s general power to

join a person as a party to a proceeding under

section 38 of the State Administrative Tribunal

Act 2004 is excluded in planning matters.

In applications not under the Planning and

Development Act 2005 SAT may join a person

as a party if it considers that:

• the person ought to be bound by, or

have the benefit of, SAT’s decision in

the proceeding;

• the person’s interests are affected by

the proceeding; or

• for any other reason it is desirable that

the person be joined as a party.

Are there other ways in which a third party may participate?

There are four ways in which it may be possible

for a third party to participate in a planning

matter.

These are:

• being called as a witness by the

respondent;

• making submissions under section 242

of the Planning and Development Act

2005;

• intervening in a proceeding under

section 37(3) of the State Administrative

Tribunal Act 2004; and

• possible participation in mediation.

Called as a witness to give evidence

The usual way in which a third party

participates in a planning matter is by being

called as a witness to give evidence at the

hearing on behalf of the respondent. A third

party should usually first speak to the

respondent or its representative if they wish to

give evidence.

Anyone giving evidence to SAT usually needs

to prepare a witness statement of their

evidence. A written submission made to the

respondent may be accepted as a witness

statement if it contains all of the evidence the

person wishes to give and if the respondent

makes it clear to SAT and the applicant when

the respondent is required to file witness

statements that it relies on the submission as a

witness statement. Anyone giving evidence

must come to the final hearing to answer any

questions from SAT or the parties or their

representatives.

For further information about witness

statements and what happens at a final hearing

see SAT’s Info Sheets 'Documents that may be

required in planning applications', 'Class 1

planning applications' and 'Class 2 planning

applications'.

Making submissions

SAT may allow a third party who has a

sufficient interest in the matter to make

submissions in respect of a planning

application under section 242 of the Planning

and Development Act 2005. In order for SAT

to allow a third party to make submissions, the

third party must have a legal interest or some

other direct, material and special interest in the

outcome of the application that is unique to it

and not shared by the public generally or a

segment of the public Generally it is not

sufficient that the third party holds genuine

and strong views or has taken an active interest

in relation to the matter even where the third

party is a body such as a community

association that has objects directed to

promoting outcomes relevant to the

application. SAT must determine that it is

appropriate to allow the third party to make

submissions in respect of the application

having regard to considerations such as:

• the nature and strength of the third

party’s interest;

• the contribution that the third party is

likely to be able to make to the proper

resolution of the issues;

• whether the interest which the third

party represents and the matters they

intend to address will be adequately

dealt with by the parties;

• the impact on the conduct of the

application, the interests of the parties

and the public interest in the prompt

and efficient finalisation of the

application; and

• SAT’s main objectives described in

section 9 of the State Administrative

Tribunal Act 2004 including 'to act as

speedily and with as little formality and

technicality as is practicable, and

minimise the costs to the parties'.

A third party who wishes to make submissions

should write a letter to SAT dealing with these

points and send a copy of the letter and any

supporting documents to each of the parties.

SAT will usually hold a directions hearing to

determine whether to allow the third party to

make submissions at which the third party and

each of the parties may attend and explain

their positions. If SAT allows a third party to

make submissions, then it will usually require

the submissions to be in writing and filed with

SAT and provided to the parties in advance of

the hearing so that the parties can address the

submissions at the hearing.

The status of a submission-maker does not

give the third party the right to give evidence,

call witnesses, ask questions of witnesses or

appeal against SAT’s decision.

If the parties reach agreement in relation to the

resolution of the application and ask SAT to

make orders by consent to give effect to their

agreement, then SAT will usually not allow a

third party to make submissions in relation to

the application.

Intervening

Under section 37(3) of the State Administrative

Tribunal Act 2004, SAT may allow a third party

to intervene in a planning matter. If SAT allows

a third party to intervene, then the third party

acquires rights and responsibilities as a party

under section 36(1) of the State Administrative

Tribunal Act 2004. But SAT may impose

conditions on an intervention. Usually an

intervener may give evidence, call witnesses,

ask questions of witnesses and exercise any

appeal right available to a party.

In order for SAT to allow a third party to

intervene:

• the third party must have at least a

sufficient interest in the matter to make

submissions under section 242 of the

Planning and Development Act 2005 as

described above. However, merely

demonstrating a sufficient interest does

not by itself enliven a right to

intervene;

• there must be something about the

particular circumstances of the case

which makes it necessary, in order for

SAT to reach the correct and preferable

decision, that the third party should be

allowed to intervene;

• the third party will generally need to

demonstrate that its intervention is

necessary to enable SAT to meet its

main objectives described in section 9

of the State Administrative Tribunal Act

2004 and the purposes of the Planning

and Development Act 2005 described in

section 3(1) of that Act;

• generally the third party must not

simply seek to argue for or against the

application on the same basis as an

existing party; and

• SAT must determine that it is

appropriate to allow the third party to

intervene having regard to the

considerations described above in

relation to when SAT may allow a third

party to make submissions under

section 242 of the Planning and

Development Act 2005 and any other

relevant consideration.

A third party who wishes to intervene should

write a letter to SAT dealing with these points

and send a copy of the letter and any

supporting documents to each of the parties.

SAT will usually hold a directions hearing to

determine whether to allow the third party to

intervene at which the third party and each of

the parties may attend and explain their

positions.

Participating in mediation

The purpose of mediation is to resolve a

dispute by settlement between the parties or to

narrow the issues in dispute. Mediation is

usually a private and confidential process

involving the parties only.

A third party may usually only participate in

mediation if the parties agree. Sometimes the

parties agree to a third party participating to a

limited extent by explaining their concerns or

by providing technical information not

otherwise available. In rare cases, SAT may

override the wishes of the parties and allow a

third party to explain their concerns or

participate in some other way.

A third party should usually first speak to the

respondent or their representative if they wish

to participate in a mediation.

If a third party wishes to ask SAT to allow them to

participate in a mediation, they should do so at

the directions hearing at which the matter is

referred to mediation or by letter to SAT with

copies to the parties, not at the mediation itself.

For further information about directions

hearings and mediations see SAT’s Info Sheets

'Class 1 planning applications' and 'Class 2

planning applications'.

What is a third party’s role if the respondent is invited to reconsider its decision?

As a result of mediation the applicant may

provide additional information or clarification

to the respondent about a planning application

or may ask SAT for permission to amend the

application.

In such cases, SAT often invites the respondent

to reconsider its decision under section 31 of

the State Administrative Tribunal Act 2004

having regard to the additional information or

clarification or the amended application.

If SAT invites the respondent to reconsider its

decision, then a third party should direct its

submissions to the respondent, as the

respondent has power to make another

decision.

For further information about an invitation to

reconsider a decision see SAT’s Info Sheet

'Invitation by SAT for decision-maker to

reconsider its decision'.

CORPORATE BUSINESS PLAN

STATUS REPORT

Shire of Carnamah September 2019

Page 2 of 22

Background The Corporate Business Plan (CBP) is the Council’s four year planning document. It gives effect to the first four years of the Strategic Community Plan and Long Term Financial Plan, and is pivotal in ensuring that the medium term commitments are both strategically aligned and affordable. The Corporate Business Plan of the Shire of Carnamah is the document that puts the objectives from the Community Strategic Plan into action. It outlines what Council will do for the next four years to achieve this. This plan then translates into spending into the Annual Shire Budget.

The Corporate Business Plan Status Report is designed to track the status of the actions and major projects each month. The updates can then be reported to the Council Briefing Session each month, with a quarterly report submitted to Council for formal consideration. It will also make it easier regarding the annual reporting and review of the Corporate Business Plan.

Instructions

The comment section is updated each month as follows:

1. Each month the relevant officer either provides information or updates the Comments

section.

2. Then the coloured box within the comments section for each action is adjusted to reflect the level of activity completed as follows:

Status Level of Completion

Not Started 0 – 49%

Monitor 50 – 69%

On/Track Completed 70 – 100%

Deferred Not due or pushed back

Objective Based Design to support the overarching objective

The monthly outcomes are transferred into the analysis section at the end of this report for inclusion in the report(s) to Council, along with a spreadsheet so that the graph can then be put into the monthly briefing report along with explanations regarding any roadblocks and mitigation. Further information regarding the Status Report can be directed the Shire’s CEO. Sean Fletcher A/Chief Executive Officer Shire of Carnamah

Analysis of Actions to Date

Outcome

Actions Comp %

Comments

Social 15 1 3 9 2 60

The green flag has improved from 8 actions completed/on-track to 9. This change has been due to the Shire’s support for CCC Inc securing key funding for 2019/20 and also installation of new playground and outdoor gym equipment thus changing from a monitored outcome to one that is on-track. The GP service in Eneabba has not been provided during 2019 and so has seen the doctor flag move from green to amber. Other matters have been clarified. The red flag indicates that there have been no joint shire initiatives re shared recreational facilities

Environment 9 0 3 6 0 67

The red flag re advocacy and information regarding unconventional gas impacts has changed to amber:

Beach Energy has met with senior staff re Perth Gas Basin exploration and production using conventional methods;

Matsui invites the CEO to community meetings in Dongara (last meeting held on same day as September 19 OCM

Economic 12 0 4 8 0 67 The number of green actions has remained at 8. The review of LPS 2 has been brought forward and so has changed from a blue flag to an orange flag as Council has completed its first workshop and a draft land use availability document has been compiled.

Civic Leadership 13 0 1 11 1 85

There are no red flags in this objective. The Shire has continued to maintain good inroads with its actions regarding civic leadership. In particular it has met its Integrated Planning and Reporting obligations, although it is overdue on its two year SCP review, which is now planned for the December Quarter 2019. Also the Community Economic Development workshop is a good starting place for the four year review of the SCP.

Total/Overall Status

49 1 11 34 3 69.34 Overall Assessment The level of actions completed is 69% (which is in striking distance of the 70-80% satisfactory level), despite deferred actions improving from 5 to 3 (7%) and actions requiring monitoring increasing from 8 to 11 (22%). Non actioned items are 2%.
