CARRIED 3 MAYORAL MINUTE 3.1 DEPUTY MAYOR DONNA GATES – PLANNING COMMITTEE

Councillors,

I am requesting that Deputy Mayor Cr Donna Gates be added back to the Economy, Planning & Environment Committee as a member and as its Deputy Chairperson.

Cr Gate’s extensive experience gathered over many years dealing with EPE matters for her own Division as well as a member of previous committees dealing with such matters citywide makes Cr Gates a sound choice as a member and in the role of Deputy.

Cr O’Neill confirmed to me her desire to see Cr Gates return to the Deputy role but will remain as a member of the EPE Committee.

Recommended motion:

That Deputy Mayor Cr Donna Gates is appointed as a member of the Economy, Planning and Environment Committee and to replace Cr Gail O’Neill as the Committee’s Deputy Chairperson and Cr Gail O’Neill to remain as a member of the Committee.

RESOLUTION G19.0920.004 moved Cr Tate

5 MAYOR’S REPORT

5.1 40 YEARS OF SERVICE – LEIGH JACKSON INTRODUCED BY THE ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Joe McCabe, Leigh Jackson, Mayor Tom Tate

Leigh commenced his career with Gold Coast City Council in 1978 having completed Year 12 and briefly undertaking a degree course in Science from which he was forced to withdraw for family reasons. Arthur Angove was the Town Clerk when he commenced.

His entire career has been focused on the financial sector, commencing as a junior clerical officer at the Bundall Administration Centre dealing with counter and phone enquiries within the Rates Section.

In January 1980 Leigh was appointed as a junior clerical officer within the Regulated Parking Section where he also took on the role of Officer in Charge at various times.

With the imminent opening of the Keith Hunt Community Entertainment and Arts Centre, what we now know as HOTA, Leigh was seconded to look after the administration and budget functions assisting the Arts Centre Director and providing other support with recruitment and the establishment of systems for this new entity.

On return to the Finance Department in 1988, Leigh was appointed as a payroll officer at a time when pay packets were still full of cash and delivered to staff under armed Police escort across all administration centres, depots and other work sites including the Hinze Dam where stage 2 was under construction. His next move was to that of Clerk in Charge, Rate Recoveries/Enquiries where he remained until amalgamation.

Since that time, through the amalgamation of Albert Shire and Gold Coast City Council and several restructures, Leigh has continued to serve the city in the financial services area, fulfilling several coordinator roles within the Client/Financial/Revenue Services Branch.

Leigh acted in the role of Coordinator Receivables Management for extended periods. This role included the responsibilities involving rate modelling, debtor management as well as cash and financial control functions.

It was from this role in October 2015 that he was seconded to manage the Revenue Services Branch, Organisational Services, responsible for some 50 plus staff and controlling the issue and recovery of $1.4b of Council’s annual revenue.

I would like to recognise Leigh’s wife Corrie who has provided over 30 years of service to the City.

Leigh, congratulations on achieving this great milestone and thank you for your incredible service to the City.


5 MAYOR’S REPORT (Continued)

5.2 40 YEARS OF SERVICE – TIM BURT INTRODUCED BY THE ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Joe McCabe, Tim Burt, Mayor Tom Tate

Tim Burt commenced his career with Gold Coast City Council in 1979 as a cadet and at various times was mentored by John King, Bill Pommer and Brett Lawrence.

Over the years Tim has planned, designed, built and maintained the full range of Council’s significant assets across all Directorates.

Tim’s recent high profile projects have included the Palm Beach Reef, The Broadwater Parklands, Commonwealth House and Media Centre for the Commonwealth Games, aquatic centres, Reserve Road, Foxwell Road, Coastal Works, Flood Mitigation projects and the $100 million Long Term Recycled Water Release project.

He has been involved in many significant city-building projects over many years.

Tim is universally respected by all of his Council colleagues and external contractors alike.

This high esteem is well deserved as Tim has exemplary technical knowledge, a collaborative approach to his projects and uncompromising ethical standards that are exhibited every day.

Tim’s pride in his work and ability to lead by example is now inspiring a new generation of Council staff. His sense of humour and ability to communicate with everyone ensures that Tim is a breath of fresh air wherever he works.

I would like to recognise Tim’s wife Joanne, who has provided over 36 years of service to the City.

Tim, congratulations on this fantastic achievement and thank you for your outstanding service to the City.


5 MAYOR’S REPORT (Continued)

5.1 and 5.2 40 YEARS OF SERVICE – LEIGH JACKSON AND TIM BURT

Joe McCabe, Leigh Jackson, Tim Burt, Mayor Tom Tate

Mayor Tom Tate and Acting CEO Joe McCabe congratulated and thanked Leigh and Tim for their 40 years of service to the Council and the City of Gold Coast.


That a vote of thanks be passed for the Chief Executive Officer Dale Dickson and the Chief Operating Officer Joe McCabe on achieving 20 years of service to the Council and the City of Gold Coast.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY


5 MAYOR’S REPORT(Continued)

5.3 RECENT VISITS AND SPEECHES



5.3 RECENT VISITS AND SPEECHES (Continued)

Gold Coast SongHubs

SongHubs is a songwriting residency, bringing together international and national hitmakers to work alongside Australia’s brightest musical talent to create new commercially-viable songs.

The program happens all over the world, but this is the first time it has been held on the Gold Coast.

Since its inception in 2013, over $2 million in performance royalties for the collaborators has been earned.

Gold Coast SongHubs is a pinnacle event for our Music Action Plan 2021 – as it is developing the opportunities for our most talented.

Five home grown talented songwriters/producers participated in this program.

Moving forward, 7 – 10 home grown songwriters will join the national and international collaborators.

This night was an exclusive and intimate opportunity for me to hear, alongside the cohort of writers for the very first time, the songs they had created over the four day residency – I have to say the calibre of music was exceptional.




Official Opening - Australian Masters Squash Association Championships

The Australian Masters Squash Association is currently in its 39th year.

This is Australia's premier squash event of the year, held over two weeks.

The Carrara Squash Centre was the main centre for the two weeks, and this is being supported by both Nerang Squash and Fitness Centre, and the Gold Coast Squash Centre.

They had 559 registered players travelling to the Gold Coast for these Championships, including their partners, friends and family.

They also held a number of social functions throughout the fortnight, bringing great economic benefits to the wider community.




Mayor's Student Ambassadors Leadership Forum

This Forum gave the ambassadors and Junior Council the opportunity to engage in one-on-one leadership dialogue with me and others.

Students asked about my experience as an international student and what it’s like to be Mayor.




Announcement Calling for Nominations for New Music Advisory Group

It was my pleasure to announce that the City was forming a new Music Advisory Group and to call for nominations.

The Gold Coast Music Action Plan 2021 has already assisted more than 400 local music industry professionals since it was launched in March.

The Advisory Group will have to have their finger on the pulse about live music trends, galvanise industry support and connect the city’s artists and music businesses with national opportunities.

Nominations closed yesterday, so we look forward to seeing the talent and knowledge that will be on this Advisory Group.




Green Waste Bin Announcement

Every household on the Gold Coast can now get a green waste bin to recycle their garden waste.

It’s expected that hundreds of tonnes of green waste will be diverted from landfill each year as a result of the service being available citywide.

The green waste kerbside service was previously only available in urban areas.

Our decision to offer the green waste bin service citywide was prompted by community feedback, along with the Waste Strategy’s aim of reducing landfill.

This is great news, not just for those residents who haven’t been able to access it previously, but also for our environment.

Last year more than 7,500 tonnes of green waste was collected as part of this service and turned into compost. We want to see that figure closer to 30,000 tonnes and this initiative will help us get there.

For around $1 per week, residents can get a green waste bin and we are offering an incentive where anyone who orders a green waste bin between now and February 2020 can get a free upsize to a larger recycling bin.

The Green Waste Bin Service started in 2013 and is currently being utilised by 31,000 homes.

Green waste bins can be used for: garden prunings, grass clippings, shrubs, weeds and flowers, leaves and loose bark, palm fronds (fronds must be cut so they can fit into the bin) and small branches (no more than 15 centimetres in diameter and 40 centimetres in length).




Official Opening - The River Church’s New Location

Back in 2015, I helped officially opened the first River Church, so it was great to be part of the opening of their new church on Monaco Street.




Official Launch of Dolphin 1 Unmanned Rescue Vehicle

I was invited to be part of the launch of a new surf rescue device.

As we all know, surf safety is an extremely important issue on the Gold Coast for both locals and visitors.

It’s great to see new devices and ideas being explored to make sure our beaches and surf are kept as safe as possible.




Access All Areas: The Gold Coast’s Inclusive Workplace Forum

Cr Baildon, Cr Pauline Young, Cr Boulton attended.

While Gold Coast Health took the lead with this Forum, the City supported this event as we are the two largest employers in the city.

Attendees heard from some inspiring case studies about building an inclusive workplace and how we are leading the way in creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Several City officers gave presentations on how then City was making sure the Gold Coast was accessible to everyone. This includes:

Beach mats.

Changing tables in toilet blocks.

A strategic approach to meeting social objectives through procurement.

And, in particular, facilitating employment opportunities at Council.




Construction Update and Tour of HOTA Green Bridge and Gallery

The art gallery is taking shape, with a 50 metre tower crane on site, the lift core evident and the ground floor foyer now poured.

People will now be able to get a good idea of the size and scale of the gallery and judging from the height of the crane, the view of the skyline from the rooftop will be amazing.

The lower ground floor for the 1000 square metre exhibition gallery for touring and blockbuster exhibitions has also been poured.

As a triple A-rated gallery it will be a stand out choice for international touring exhibitions and a major contributor to our cultural tourism.

HOTA is working with the best of the visual arts community nationally and internationally to bring a quality program of blockbuster exhibitions to the gallery to ensure it becomes a cultural beacon.

And with the Green Bridge connecting HOTA to Chevron Island due for completion early next year, everyone will soon have more ways to access the precinct.

The HOTA gallery project has provided 373 local jobs and training for 10 apprentices, while the Green Bridge has employed 100 people, with half of these from the Gold Coast.




Future Gold Coast Business Event

I spoke about the importance of sustainable development that finds the balance, because the fact is the Gold Coast is welcoming 13,000 to 16,000 new residents each year.

We have to rethink how we live and especially how we get around. A single person driving around in a four-door car is not sustainable for our city. The days of driving your teenage kids to school rather than them walking, riding or busing is not sustainable.

So, I spoke about how the City is doing everything it can to manage the future growth of our evolving city:

installing and upgrading road infrastructure

investing in the next stage of light rail

building our cultural precinct

as well as investing in sporting facilities, fibre optic networks, a dive site and improving the city’s parks and playgrounds.

Retaining our lifestyle into the future means we need to get the balance right.




Gold Coast Titans 2019 Awards Evening

Cr Gates and Cr Owen-Jones attended.

It was great to support the Titans for their Awards evening.

While it has been a tough year for the Club, the mood on the night was very positive and I think there is burning ambition for next season and beyond.

I urge all Gold Coasters to get behind their NRL team next season to show how our city can get behind our local club.




Officiate Opening Gold Coast Malayalee Cultural Forum "Onam Festival"

The Gold Coast Malayalee Association (GCMA) brings together the great aspiration and co-operation of Malayalees, the people from Kerala, one of the cultural states from the southern part of India.

This association is a non-profit cultural organisation consisting of about 600 members from the Indian community.

"ONAM" is a traditional celebration where Kerala people join together without any religious or political discrimination.

It’s their most traditional and important festival.




Ray White Surfers Paradise Muscular Dystrophy Ball

Cr Gates attended.

This event helps raise funds to support Muscular Dystrophy Queensland in providing equipment for families and research to find a cure.

Congratulations to the directors of the Ray White Surfers Paradise Group, Andrew and Greg Bell for putting on this annual event that helps such a worthy cause.

I understand the event raised $230,000 which is a fantastic result.




Memorandum of Understanding Signing Ceremony with Makassar, Indonesia

The purpose of this delegation’s visit was to sign a Memorandum of Understanding on the Cooperation of Partnership Programs.

They also wanted to learn more from the Gold Coast in the areas of tourism, water and waste management.

The delegation consisted of 9 members, include the Mayor of Makassar (M. Iqbal Samad Suhaeb)







Announcement of City’s New Beach Rubbish Tractor

It was great to welcome the arrival of the City’s newest beach cleaning tractor – The ‘Barber’.

The new and improved beach tractor will leave no stone unturned, cleaning to a depth of six inches.

The City constantly remove items such as bottles, debris that has washed ashore, cans, disposable cups and plates, thongs, fast food wrappers and straws from our beaches.

The new machine will also have the capability to pick up smaller items such as bottle caps, syringes and cigarette butts.

Our beaches are famous for being so clean the sand squeaks - so let’s keep them squeaky clean for future generations to enjoy.

The ‘Barber’ will cover approximately 2.7 hectares an hour, an area roughly the size of the playing field at Carrara Stadium.

The City’s original beach cleaner, the ‘Beach Drum’, has been in use for 20 years and will remain in action primarily on southern beaches.

The ‘Beach Drum’ was developed by the City and was based on a potato harvester.

Approximately 25 cubic metres of litter is removed from Gold Coast beaches every week.




Friends of Israel – Keren Hayesod United Israel Appeal (UIA) - “Enter the Story” Cocktail Reception and Dinner

It was a pleasure to be invited and to attend this “Standing with Israel”.

In attendance was the Ambassador of Israel, Mr Mark Sofer, who I also had the pleasure of meeting with earlier that day.


That the Mayor’s Report be welcomed and noted.

8.1 2019 Australian Institute of Traffic Planning and Management

The AITPM Excellence Award is the peak industry accolade in the Traffic and Transport industry. This award recognises professional excellence and encourages innovation and practices that challenge the standard way that industry approaches their services. The AITPM Excellence Award presented to the City of Gold Coast recognised the Crash Investigation Alliance (CIA) road safety initiative established in August 2017 by the City in partnership with the Queensland Police Service to investigate fatal and serious injury crashes and monitor road trauma on the City’s local road network. The CIA forges its road safety, traffic engineering, fatal crash investigation and enforcement resources to deliver a road safety initiative influencing safer roads, safer speeds and safer people. Outcomes of the CIA include escalation of crash treatment selection processes, localised post-crash enforcement strategies and reporting to local and state government road safety stakeholders. The initiative is already contributing to making our City’s roads safer. The award is presented to Alton Twine, Director Transport and Infrastructure, Matthew Tilly, Manager Transport & Traffic Branch, Sonny Suharto, Senior Project Officer (Road Safety). I am proud to present this award to Council.

l-r: Cr Pauline Young, Sam Hodson, Alton Twine, Mayor Tom Tate, Darren McNeilage

The 2019 Innovation – Highly Commended Award from the Australian Asphalt Pavement Association was presented to the City of Gold Coast for Gap Graded Crumb Rubber Demonstration Project. The association has recognised that the City has been able to extend the use of recycled car tyres (crumb rubber) from bitumen sealing applications to asphalt road surfacing. This increases sustainability in road construction and maintenance by including the recycling of used-tyres without compromising the performance of the asphalt. Transport and Infrastructure, along with our industry partners Fulton Hogan and SAMI, are extremely excited about the success of the trial work to date and confident that this environmentally sustainable treatment can be rolled out more broadly across our road network. The award is presented to Alton Twine, Director of Transport and Infrastructure, Darrin McNeilage, Executive Coordinator Transport Assets and Sam Hodson, Coordinator Transport Assets. I am proud to present this award to Council.

RESOLUTION G19.0920.026 moved Cr O'Neill seconded Cr Tozer


That Council refuses the development application seeking a development permit for material change of use (impact assessment) for multiple dwellings (4 units) and food and drink outlet facility at 780 Pacific Parade Currumbin, for the following reasons:

1 The proposed building height exceeds that shown on Building height overlay map 23 – 3 storeys and 15 metres. The proposal provides for a building height of 5 storeys and 15 metres and does not promote the intended building height character of the zone or the desired future appearance of its surrounding neighbourhood.

In particular, the development’s built form, height, density and other impacts associated with the proposed mixed use development would detract from the sense of place, natural hillscape and scenic and amenity values intended for the locality, resulting in unacceptable impacts and non-compliance with the following City Plan assessment benchmark provisions:

a Part 3 Strategic framework, 3.4 Making modern centres, 3.4.5 Element – Neighbourhood centres, Specific outcome 3.4.5.1 (1);

b Neighbourhood centre zone code Overall outcomes 6.2.5.2(2)(b)(v),(vi), (vii) and 6.2.5.2(2)(d)(i) and Performance outcome PO3; and

c Ridges and significant hills protection overlay code Purpose 8.2.15.2, Overall outcome 8.2.15.3(2)(a) and Performance outcome PO1.

2 The proposed development will result in poor planning outcomes due to undue impacts on the amenity of adjoining uses and the neighbourhood centre associated with car parking supply. The proposed short fall in residential visitor car parking spaces, for reasons above, does not comply with the following City Plan assessment benchmark provisions:

a Transport code Overall outcomes 9.4.13.2(2)(e)(ii) and Performance outcome PO1.



USE (IMPACT ASSESSMENT) FOR MULTIPLE DWELLINGS (4 UNITS) AND FOOD AND DRINK OUTLET AT 780 PACIFIC PARADE CURRUMBIN – DIVISION 14 (Continued) MCU/2017/1607
