2.0 ANNOUNCEMENTS BY PRESIDING PERSON WITHOUT

DISCUSSION 2.1 Passing of Gavin Watters

The President wished to acknowledge the sudden death of Gavin Watters on Sunday 21 February 2010. Gavin was very passionate about his community and the establishment of the EMRC, as the inaugural CEO. His determination for thesuccess of the EMRC was to the benefit of all the east metropolitan region.

Cr Cuccaro indicated that he would move a formal condolence mo ion later in the meeting.

3.0 RECOGNITION AND AWARDS Nil 4.0 RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS PUBLIC QUESTIONS TAKEN ON

NOTICE

At the ordinary Council meeting held 27 January 2010 Janet Atkinson and Michael Belford asked questions which were taken on notice. Responses to the questions were provided to Ms Atkinson & Mr Belford in letters from the CEO dated 11 February 2010.

Summary of Questions Summary of Responses Given

Janet Atkins, 21 Hartung Street, Mundaring 2. Is the Mundaring Shire a signatory

to any programs promoting cooler climates? If so, what are these and is large tree protection and/or replanting of urban areas a part of any of these programs?

The Shire recently participated in the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan – Adaptation strategies included local government mechanisms for tree and Biodiversity retention.

C6 FEBRUARY 2010


3. Does the Shire consider that developments over the past five to eight years on the south side of Great Eastern Highway in the Mundaring town site (eg Hills Fresh site, the old geophysical observatory site, the full length of the north side of Craig Street between Mundaring Weir Road and Fenton Street, the Hub in Craig Street and the Shire office redevelopment) have resulted in the loss of a significant number of large trees without any effort to either retain or replace them?

All developments are assessed under the TPS requirements and vegetation retention and landscape plans are often conditions of approval. The zoning of land depends on the ability to retain vegetation and the area mentioned is a District Business Zone.

5. Is the Shire prepared to re-instate some of these controls through application/development of planning regulations/policies?

See answer to Question 3. Every development is subject to TPS requirements and conditions.

Michael Belford, PO Box 100, Mt Helena

1. What is the process for clearing of land and what is the approval process?

Refer to TPS Tree Preservation Policy 5.1 for clearing approval & exemptions. Also there is State legislation on clearing vegetation which is enforced by the Department of Environment & Conservation.

2. Why should local residents or neighbours be part of a consultation process regarding clearing?

Depending on the application, neighbour consultation would be part of a development approval process under the TPS. Clearing permits obtained through DEC are advertised for public comment.

4. Why were local neighbours not consulted or informed of any clearing at the Beechina gravel pit?

The gravel pit extraction works is an ongoing gravel source operation commenced in 2001. The current extraction is the third cell. Given the ongoing nature of this work consultation was not considered necessary. The Lakes Action Group were informed in writing in July 2009 confirming observations of preliminary investigations to extract gravel from a new cell. Works commenced onsite on 12 January 2010 without informing residents. This was corrected with a letter to residents on 3 February 2010 explaining in detail the history and reasoning for gravel extraction.

C7 FEBRUARY 2010


5.0 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

Procedures for asking and responding to questions are determined by the Shire President. Questions must relate to a matter affecting the local government. Note: This is not a verbatim record of questions asked and answers given. It is a summary only.

Council extends an invitation to members of the public to attend meetings of the following committees. A specific question time is provided at each meeting –

Development Approvals Committee

Strategic & Governance Committee

Summary of Questions Summary of Responses Given

Peter Gavranich, 54 Pittersen Road, Darlington

1. Can the appropriate person please explain why the matters of item 2 of my letter dated 13 October 2009 regarding Crown Land Road Reserve, has not been attended to?

The Director Infrastructure Services advised that staff from Design Services and Building Services have visited the location following receipt of the letter dated 13 October. As a result of that a number of instructionswere given to the builder, including matters like provision of skip bins. There was an undertaking given by the builder to repai the damaged kerbing.

r

Parking on the verge is an on-going matter that the Shire is monitoring, so the matters referred to in the letter dated 13 October have been attended to.

2. Can the appropriate person tell me when can I expect important issues of safety, duty of care and amenity of our Crown Land Road Reserve be attended to?

The Director Infrastructure Services advised that this question is the same matter referred to in question 1. A written response can be provided.

3. Can you explain to me why Rusty Geller’s 3 questions were accepted at the DAC meeting held 9 February 2010 and my four questions were rejected. Do we have double standards?

The President advised that the Shire does not have double standards. It was explained at the DAC meeting that questions asked are required to relate to the function of the committee. Any questions that do not relate to the function of the committee can be asked at an ordinary council meeting.

C8 FEBRUARY 2010


Margaret Oakley, 925 Short Street, Stoneville

1. Can the LSIP Process/Policy be amended to address placing an additional or 2nd

fround of specific comment/reply to be part of an approval o an LSIP?

The Director Statutory Services advised that the Shire is able to review the process in relation to the matters raised. Requests will be actioned and given consideration. The CEO advised that the particular LSIP referred to has already been lodged with the WAPC so a second round of specific comment would not be possible on that particular application. For future LSIP applications the Shire process may be able to be varied to consider whether there is the opportunity for submitters to make a second submission.

Janet Watts, Lot 22 Prosperity Place, Stoneville

1. Regarding LSIP 345 – within the Shire hasthis LSIP ever been seen by anyone outside the Planning Services?

The Director Statutory Services advised that the LSIP referred to was referred to other departments within the Shire and other government departments.

2. Has this ever been discussed or presented at a Development Approvals Committee meeting or Shire of Mundaring Council meeting? If so when did this occur?

The CEO advised that the matter was dealt with under delegated authority so did not go before committee or Council. The original LSIP from August 2005 was considered by Council and rejected by the WAPC. The subsequent amended LSIP was dealt with by staff under delegated authority.

C9 FEBRUARY 2010


3. What rights do we have as affected landowners and how do we ensure our opinions and input are taken into consideration?

The CEO advised the process that was followed is that affected landowners were provided with a copy o the amended LSIP, submissions were sought and submissions were received. Those submissions were taken into consideration by the Shire. The document subsequently received by submitters was a copy of the submission from the applicant. That is not to say the Shire’s comments endorse what the applicants comments were. The Shire is required to present to the WAPC the Shire’s comments, the submissions in full and the applicants submission. The WAPC is the decision making authority to determine the application for the LSIP.

f

4. Why does the Shire believe planning consultants and disregard the facts, comments and concerns of ratepayers?

t t l l

The CEO advised that is an assertion with which he did not agree however acknowledged there are some errors in the application. That does not mean that the Shire concurs with the comments provided by the applicants in their application. The Shire provides comments separately to the applicants about their application. The fact that they did not make amendments of fact between their first and second is something for the applicant, but needs to be noted by the WAPC. For example it was highlighted to the Shire that there is incorrect plotting of the creek line, which will need to be investigated and if found to be so the WAPC will be advised accordingly. The Shire cannotdirect the applicant to make changes to their document if they do not wish o. Ul imate y it wil be up to WAPC

to make their determination.

SUMMARY: Council received an information briefing from Western Power’s Mr Ian Buchanan on the 27 January 2010 regarding the need for a new substation to power the Water Treatment Plant project near Mundaring Weir. This report summarises the proposal from Western Power, including four (4) possible sites and recommends a preferred site be nominated and advised to Western Power. BACKGROUND: Information has been received advising the existing Mundaring Weir Substation does not have the capacity to meet the future requirements of the local community and Water Corporation’s proposed Mundaring Water Treatment Plant. Several new sites were identified and four (4) potential sites remain under consideration. The existing sub station will be decommissioned after the new one is constructed. It is also worthwhile to note that the existing substation is built with old technology and has no protection to ground water. Western Power must also demonstrate to the Economic Regulation Authority (ERA) that the project spends public money efficiently through a new facilities investment test. The ERA will assess projects based on value for money for the people of Western Australia. Western Power has provided a base line figure for construction around the existing substation site of $20-25 million. Each of the other sites have different factors which would increase this cost, including; location, additional transmission infrastructure, site works and vegetation clearing. Western Power also has to meet the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)’s requirements and demonstrate the project has complied with criteria within an Environmental Impact Assessment.

C27 FEBRUARY 2010


Item 11.2 cont’d 2 The Federal Government Offset for clearing vegetation is a maximum of 11 hectares of replacement for every 1 hectare of vegetation cleared. This revegetation offset may offer future revegetation projects for the Shire of Mundaring in partnership with Western Power. All potential sites are located within the Public Drinking Water Source Area (PDWSA). The Department of Water have provided a position on the proposal which acknowledges the need for power infrastructure to facilitate the public benefit of improved drinking water quality for consumers. It also states that the Energy Industry is not generally supported in public drinking water source areas, however the energy is primarily for the operation of the water treatment plant in this case. As such, the proposal has been assessed under the Drinking water treatment plant land use category – which is compatible with conditions. It should also be noted that development is not supported in Reservoir Protection Zones (RPZ). Western Power also advises that the Heritage Council of WA has carried out a search of Heritage places on its register for all proposed sites for the substation. The Heritage Council of WA confirms that their preferred site is Option 5 – O’Connor Site, as there are no places in or near the vicinity that are on the State Register or in their assessment program. STATUTORY / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Nil FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil – This report is requesting Council’s formal position only. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS: Nil SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS: The sustainability implications vary depending on which site is under consideration. In general, the following social, environmental and economic implications have been addressed.

C28 FEBRUARY 2010


Item 11.2 cont’d 3 Social Water is a utility service required for the public and as such this project assists in providing an upgraded water supply and essential improvements in water quality and reliability of water supplies to the Perth Hills, Goldfields and Agricultural regions. Various sites have impact on both European Heritage and Indigenous Heritage which have been considered as part of this report and throughout Western Power’s consultation process. Further the Shire in February 2003 resolved to support the Mundaring Weir Precinct Master Plan prepared by the National Trust of Australia (WA) and recommended that the Western Australian Planning Commission endorse the plan subject to a number of conditions. The Master Plan outlines a proposal to facilitate the development of Mundaring Weir into a major tourist, education and recreation destination with the No 1 Pump Station as a significant tourism focus. The area in which the Master Plan covers includes Site Option 2 of Western Power’s substation proposal. Environmental This project will require vegetation clearing to facilitate transmission lines and associated infrastructure of the sub station. All sites have a different amount of vegetation clearing required, however assessment of this has been undertaken by Western Power and is provided in the following table; Sites Estimated

clearing (Ha) Site 2 1.02 Site 3 3.02 Site 8 2.05 Site 5 2.97 Site 5A 3.21 Site 5B 2.96 Site 5C 3.93

There is also a requirement through the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) to refer listed threatened species and communities to the Environment Minister for approval. In this case habitat may be affected for foraging, breeding or roosting activities of the Baudin’s Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus baudinii) and Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii naso). Western Power has undertaken a biological survey (currently in draft) which included a Level 2 Flora and Vegetation survey, a Level 1 Fauna survey and a Phytophthora dieback survey. Results show there are no Threatened Ecological Communities known from the Northern Jarrah Forest, and none were identified during the field survey.

C29 FEBRUARY 2010

http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/publicspecies.pl?showprofile=Y&taxon_id=769


Item 11.2 cont’d 4 Nineteen Declared Rare and Priority Listed Flora taxa were identified by the DEC database search as occurring near the proposed alignments. Twenty two individuals of P4 listed species Grevillea pimelioides, identified from this database search, were located during the field survey, and a single P3 taxa Grevillea manglesii subsp. dissectifolia individual was also located. The Phytophthora dieback survey identified the entire area as being dieback infested, and concluded that the infestation was well established. Economic There are Tourism activities that may be impacted by some of the proposed sites, including walking and cycling trails and the general landscape amenity of visitors to the area, including those visiting the Kookaburra Outdoor Cinema, the Perth Hills National Park Visitor Centre, Mundaring Weir Hotel and Village, Mundaring Weir and the Number 1 Pump Station and CY O’Connor Museum. As mentioned above, the Economic Regulation Authority provides an assessment of the project and its value to the Western Australian public. The cost of project varies between sites and it should be noted there is a direct link between the amount of money spent on the project and the cost of electricity. Western Power has acknowledged the need to be mindful when building its infrastructure to carefully balance the needs of the community with increasing costs and therefore electricity tariffs. CONSULTATION: Western Power sought feedback from the community with outreach sessions in Kalamunda and Mundaring. The information was also considered as part of the Water Corporation’s Community Reference Group where five (5) meetings were held. Information is supplied on Western Power’s website and Council was briefed at an information meeting 27 January 2010. With relation to Council’s resolution, it should be noted that the Shire of Mundaring is not the ultimate decision making Authority however Council’s decision will be taken into consideration by Western Power. The Shire’s Environmental Officer and Manager Planning Services conducted a visit to the various sites with representatives from Western Power. COMMENT: Information presented at Council forum by Western Power is provided in the ATTACHMENT 3. This information provides dot points on the features of each proposed site and aerial photographs of the locations.

C30 FEBRUARY 2010


Item 11.2 cont’d 5 The following table of observations and comments are made by Shire staff following a visit to the proposed substation sites with Western Power representatives. A set of photographs taken of each site on the visit are available in ATTACHMENT 4. Table 1 Summary of site considerations and issues. Proposed Site Site Considerations and Issues Site 2 • The size of the proposed substation is four times the

size of the existing substation. • The road into this site will require re-alignment. • The predominant vegetation in this area is over storey

trees with very degraded to non existing understorey. The trees are Eucalyptus rudis and a small number of Corymbia calophylla’s. The Eucalyptus rudis are showing signs of stress as they often do in the summer months and appear to be in tree decline.

• The site requires to be levelled and there is some visible surface rock.

• There are tourism considerations (Mundaring Weir Precinct Master Plan) and indigenous and cultural heritage considerations.

• The site overall is environmentally degraded and would require the least amount of vegetation clearing for the substation. This also means it would impact the least on the Carnaby’s cockatoos foraging habitat.

• Additional landscaping would be required to provide a visual buffer to Mundaring Weir Road and tourists.

• Locating all of the infrastructure (pump station and power) that runs the Mundaring Weir water supplies in one location may be beneficial.

Site 3 • This site is to the north of the existing Department Environment and Conservation site and directly adjacent to the now proposed water treatment site.

• The site has some introduced Eastern states wattles however there is generally good intact native vegetation both canopy and understorey in this location.

• This site would require transmission lines to connect to Fred Jacoby Park and therefore there would be a clearing impact in this area which may affect the visual amenity should underground drilling not be an option.

• The topography at this site would mean intensive site works to provide a level site for the substation as there is a steep gradient. The water treatment plant proposal shows different ground levels for the infrastructure across the site.

C31 FEBRUARY 2010


• The Water Treatment Plant preliminary flora and fauna reports conducted by GHD concluded that the northern section of this site had good to very good vegetation and was close to a water course. It detailed a wandoo gully and granite outcrop existed.

• The Shire’s GIS system shows Bending Gully within 100m of this proposed site.

Site 8 • The site vegetation is disturbed and degraded. There are European trees planted at this site. There is little natural remnant bush land at this site. Understorey vegetation is not present in most of the site.

• There is no known Declared Rare Flora at this site. • There would be some impact on the foraging habitat of

the Black Cockatoo’s as there would be introduced pines removed if this site was chosen.

• There is European Heritage at this site. • There is old water corporation infrastructure at this

site. • There are at least two walk trails through this area with

some walk trail signage. Cyclists utilise this area. • There would be some visual impact to users of

Mundaring Weir Road and a property directly adjacent to the site, however retention of some vegetation and additional landscape screening could reduce the visual impact.

• Western Power indicated on site that they would be prepared to work with the private land holder to also plant screening vegetation on their land if required.

• The Transmission line is very close along Mundaring Weir Road and therefore connection to this is short and vegetation clearing required is minimal.

• The site is predominantly flat and has a good access track surrounding it for construction and maintenance vehicles. There would be little clearing required for access to the site.

• Western Power on site indicated that the design of the substation could be adjusted to reduce visual impact if required.

Site 5 Site 5 is split into 4 areas, being the original site 5 and alternatives sites 5a, 5b and 5c which were suggested by a member of the community reference group during Western Power’s community consultation process.

Site 5a • Vegetation at this site is very good. Understorey is intact.

• There is a ridgeline and the topography is not flat. • There is evidence of Dieback infestation at this site. • Mundaring Weir Road is visible from this site and as

there is a slope, visual amenity may be an issue. Site 5b • The vegetation is very good at this site, although it has

been impacted by Dieback infestation.

C32 FEBRUARY 2010


• The dieback is a concern for the amount of disturbance and traffic required to construct and maintain a substation at this location. It was evident that the track had assisted in spreading dieback in this location.

• There is a requirement for large amount of vegetation to be cleared at this site, as well as sites, 5a and 5c due to the need to have connecting transmission lines.

• There are future hollows identified at this site for habitat trees.

Site 5c • There is concern by Western Power that the isolation of this site will assist vandalism.

• This site is a disused gravel pit which has been revegetated with Eastern States Eucalyptus trees and wattles.

• There is Dieback very evident at this site with the presence of secondary Dryandra sessilis regrowth which shows fresh signs of dieback death.

• Upgrading the track for access to this site for construction vehicles requires a large amount of vegetation clearing.

• Transmission line connections from this site also require a large amount of vegetation clearing through some good vegetation which is impacted by Dieback.

It is evident that there are many issues including social, economic and environmental that should be considered when making a decision on the best location for the substation. Shire staff have summarised the above considerations and impacts to constructing a substation at each of the proposed locations within the following table. Table 2 Summary of impacts to construct the Western Power Substation at each of the proposed sites.

L = Low M = Medium H = High From the above table proposed sites 2 and 8 appear to show the least impact to all considerations in constructing a substation in the Mundaring Weir Area.

C33 FEBRUARY 2010


Item 11.2 cont’d 8 Proposed Site 2 requires little vegetation clearing, which also means minimal loss of cockatoo foraging habitat, a low cost of construction, and excellent site characteristics for construction. However there are High impacts to Tourism, and visual amenity at this site and Council has previously resolved to support the Mundaring Weir Precinct Master Plan prepared by the National Trust of Australia (WA) at this location. Proposed Site 8 requires little vegetation clearing which is not endemic to the Shire and has a medium impact upon the cockatoo foraging habitat due to pine trees at the site. There are some visual amenity issues and the site is suitable for construction purposes and links in closely with transmission lines. The highest impact at this site is disturbance to walk trails and cycle paths and European heritage. Given the information supplied both by Western Power and this report, Council is requested to support one of the proposed locations for the substation construction. In assessing all information provided this report recommends proposed site 8 as the most suitable site for the Western Power substation. VOTING REQUIREMENT: Simple Majority OFFICER RECOMMENDATION

That Council advises Western Power that Site 8 is the preferred location for the Western Power Substation located near Mundaring Weir.

SUMMARY:

Cr Daw has advised o his intention to move the following notice of motion:

“That this Council continues to pursue ASA with the object of getting a satisfactory conclusion for local residents affected by noise –vibration issues since the WARRP flight path changes were introduced.”

BACKGROUND:

The Western Australian Route Review Project (WARRP) was a comprehensive review of airspace use, flight routes and aviation procedures across WA. The review was undertaken by Airservices Australia (ASA) between 2006 and 2008. Changes were implemented in November 2008. Please see the attachment for more details of WARRP (see ATTACHMENT 5).

As a result of the changes, a redistribution of aircraft flight paths over Perth was implemented, resulting in an increase in aircraft flights over Perth’s Eastern Region, including the Shire of Mundaring. In particular Chidlow has been affected (this assertion is based on the number of noise related complaints reported to ASA by residents).

The Shire resolved to address this issue (which it acknowledged it had no control over) by making representation to ASA and the Perth Airport Aircraft Noise Management Consultative Committee (PAANMCC) on behalf of its residents.

A public meeting was subsequently arranged and held on 3 February 2010 in theShire’s Civic Area. Approximately 120 people were in attendance. Representatives from ASA presented to the meeting and answered questions from residents.

It is understood that as a result of a request from PAANMCC (which includes a representative from the Shire – Cr Daw), ASA has agreed to install a noise monitoring unit in Chidlow to monitor the noise impact of the increased air traffic.

C35 FEBRUARY 2010


Item 12.1 cont’d 2

l i i l

A Senate Inquiry will be undertaken by the Standing Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport into “the effectiveness of Airservices Australia’s management of aircraft noise under its responsibilities to provide air traffic services and protect the environment from the effects associated with the operation of aircraft for which it has legislative jurisdiction.”

COMMENT:

It wou d be d ff cu t to ascertain what constitutes a “satisfactory conclusion” for residents affected by the impact of the WARRP changes as Council would need to be confident that any particular conclusion was indeed ‘satisfactory’. With regards to this issue, the Shire President has made it clear that the Shire will continue to advocate for local residents concerned with this issue and to encourage ASA to identify possible solutions. Further, it is the role of the PAANMCC to consider the issue of aircraft noise and the Shire will continue its representation on and dialogue with that committee to monitor and advocate for its residents.

Other than the current approach it is difficult to determine an alternative or additional course of action the Shire may take.

C36 FEBRUARY 2010


Item 12.1 cont’d 3
