“The City of Vincent would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging”.

 

Mayor Cole acknowledged the State member for Perth, and former Mayor of the City of Vincent, Mr John Carey, MLA, who was in the public gallery.

2          Apologies / Members on Leave of Absence

Cr Dan Loden is an apology for this meeting.

 

3          (A)       Public Question Time and Receiving of Public Statements

The following is a summary of questions and statements received at the meeting.  This is not a verbatim record of questions and statements made at the meeting.

 

3.1     Dudley Maier of Highgate

 

Firstly, congratulations to the staff for including what appears to be complete community submissions as attachments to at least two items on the agenda tonight.

 

1.       Options are currently being presented to the community for the lot at 10 Monmouth Street. The only options given are: sell it; leave as it is; and an unspecified ‘other’. Why hasn’t the city developed a landscape plan for the lot and presented that to the community?

2.       The concept plan on the Barlee Street Carpark was confidential in the Briefing Agenda, and has only been made public because of council intervention. The report also did not contain any information about parking utilisation. I’m not sure but I believe we have the Mayor to thank for those being included in this agenda.

 

          Why did the Administration make the concept plan confidential and why didn’t they include any parking data until prompted by Council? Why isn’t there a parking impact statement included in this report – have the staff actually considered it? By the way there were 36 cars parked there at 6:45 last night – a Monday night.

 

3.       Why are changes to documents like the Public Health Plan, and others on tonight’s agenda, no longer shown with ‘tracked changes’ so that the community can see any changes, if any? By the way, I did compare the advertised health plan and the plan on the agenda and the only changes were to add some words about smoking, and adding a couple of points about ultraviolet radiation, and minor changes – nothing substantive!

4.       On 20 September 2018 the City paid Kott Gunning Lawyers a sum of $60,000 which was described as “settlement of a legal matter”. What was the legal matter – was it related to an unfair dismissal claim? Who approved the payment – was it the former CEO?

5.       In response to your answer to my question 2 at the last meeting. Can you confirm that transport depot, fuel depot, service station, and corrective institution uses are exempt from a DA in non-residential zones under the Vincent’s approach, but would require a DA under the Minister’s order?

 

Item 9.7 Accessible City

 

The document is OK but is pretty vague – more of a plan for plan.

 

It has errors. On page13 it says that South of Vincent there is higher on-street parking demand because of greater commercial land use. The reality is that most properties south of Vincent were developed before cars were a thing.  Why is this important – because the suggestion is that residents be charged for parking permits.  On page 12 it says that households are moving away from multi-car ownership. Data from the last 3 censuses shows the opposite – the number of zero car households has dropped from 14.2% to 9.4%; household ownership has gone up from 1.38 to 1.52 cars per household; and multi-car households have gone from 40.7% to 46.5%..

 

One of the opportunities listed on page 20 is the ability to significantly improve road safety outcomes by going to 30kph limits; the Safe Active Streets are at 30kph; documentation about compact roundabouts says they are only safe for cyclists if the speed is less than 30kph; Austroads Safe System principle states that speeds less than 30 kph significantly decrease death and serious injury. Yet Vincent sticks with 40kph!

 

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Mr Maier for his questions. Responses will be provided in the 17 November Council Meeting Agenda.

 

3.2     Fiona Keating of Highgate – Item 5

 

·            The petition listed at Item 5 requests a review, consultation, report and Council’s full consideration of the proposed introduction of an electronic permit system and changes to the existing system.

·            Concerns include the time required to administer this system, the fact that not all residents will have access to the necessary computing technology and whether there is adequate security of private information.

·            The proposed system seemed unnecessarily complex and imposes a considerable burden on Vincent residents to log number plates.

·            Will also no longer know whether cars in our neighbourhood are parked legally or not, and when our streets are full of cars we do not recognise, we will not be able to readily determine if they have a permit to be there.

·            Requests consultation with residents regarding the change of system.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Ms Keating for her questions.

 

3.3     Sonia Grinceri of Leederville

 

·            Questioned the lack of public parking during office hours on the east side of Oxford Street, Newcastle Street and Carr Place.

·            Problem exacerbated by on street seating.

·            The lack of public parking is affecting businesses in this area.

·            Why are the parking needs of business operators being ignored.

·            What plans are in place to compensate for loss of short term on street parking due to hospitality use?

·            Why did Council abandon its proposal to build multistory parking on Frame Court?

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Ms Grinceri for her comments. Responses will be provided in the 17 November Council Meeting Agenda.

 

3.4     Quentin Chester of North Perth  – Item 9.3

 

·            Has submitted written arguments in support with his application.

·            Encourages Council to approve the application.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Mr Chester for his engagement in this process.

 

3.5     Sally Lake of Highgate

 

·            In the past it has been the tradition that anybody that made a submission was informed the meeting. 

·            Queries if the City made a decision to stop advising people who made a submission, or was it an oversight?

·            Queried if the people who made submissions on Items 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 11.2, 11.3 and 12.5 were advised of this meeting.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, advised Ms Lake that it is not a policy change that has been approved by Council and will be investigated. Responses will be provided in the 17 November Council Meeting Agenda.

 

3.6     Shenade Unicomb of Perth – Item 10.1

 

·            Lives in apartment opposite Weld Square.

·            Strongly encouraged Council to vote for option 1 in the report.

·            Manna Service contributes to the problems in the area.

·            Stated that drug dealing and all night parties take place outside her bedroom window.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Ms Unicombe for her questions.

 

3.7     Kevin Smite of Perth - Item 10.1

 

·            Lives opposite Weld Square, resident for 18 years.

·            The situation at Weld Square is the worst it has ever been.

·            The park is dangerous all day, but it is worse from 11am onwards.

·            Antisocial and criminal behaviour is rife.

·            Urges Council to take action.

·            Why are Council not listening to the residents?

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Mr Smith  for his comments.

 

3.8     Hilary Capolingua of Perth – Item 10.1

 

·            Lives in apartment opposite Weld Square

·            Cannot leave apartment after 5pm, as she is scared.

·            Stated that the Manna Inc food service is not only used by the homeless.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Ms Capolingua for her comments and advised that Council is aware that it is a growing issue that the service is being used by people who are not homeless.

 

3.9     Pete Ramsay of Mandurah – Item 12.5

 

·            He is the president of the Friends of ANZAC Cottage. 

·            Is a strong supporter of the transfer to the National Trust. 

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Mr Ramsay for his comments.

 

3.10   Myf Zrinski from Millendon - Item 12.3

 

·            Spoke so that the item was brought forward in the agenda.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Ms Zrinski.

 

3.11   Malcolm Guthrie of North Perth – Item 9.3

 

·            Lives on Deague Court.

·            Spoke in support of Deague Court application. 

·            Not in favour of a battleaxe or three story development.

·            Would appreciate feedback on what Council is looking for in terms of streetscapes.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Mr Guthrie for his comments.

 

3.12   John Carey from Perth – Item 10.1

 

·            Co-Chair of homeless working group with City of Perth and has worked on homelessness for 3 years.  They have been focussing on housing and getting people off the street. 

·            Created Moore Street precinct to create safe space for services with security and lighting and a dedicated program for food distribution.

·            Weld Square is not a safe space for those seeking assistance or the residents nearby. 

·            Disappointed with Council’s ongoing approval of this program.

·            Council has to draw a line the sand and take a coordinated approach to homelessness. 

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Mr Carey for his statement and advised that Council’s decision last year was to transition.

 

3.13   Lisa Fanciulli of Perth

 

·            Spoke against the e-parking permits.

·            Advised that there is not an issue with the existing parking permit process.

·            Residents do not want to have to ask their visitors to register their number plates.

·            Will their number plates be logged all over the City?

·            Asked how the City will ensure data security and privacy?

·            Requests an opportunity to have the resident’s views heard.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Ms Fanciulli for her statement.

 

3.14   Martin McNiff of  Mount Hawthorn – Item 9.2

 

·            The rear access stairs are non-compliant and encroach on the southern neighbour.

·            They are not compliant with the R Codes.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Mr McNiff for his statement.

 

3.15   Caitlyn Kyron of Mount Hawthorn – Item 9.2

 

·            Spoke in support of officer’s recommendation.

·            Explained the southern neighbour does not object.

·            She explained the spiral staircase improves access from outside.

·            The stairs will be made of steel with aluminium balustrading.

·            It is the smallest that they could build.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Ms Kyron for his statement.

 

3.16   Ava Salomone of Mount Lawley – Item 9.2

 

·            Spoke in support of the officer’s recommendation.

·            The southern neighbour supports the application

·            Advised that the treads will be covered in rubber to absorb noise.

The Presiding Member, Mayor Cole, thanked Ms Salomone for her statement.

 

The following questions and statements were submitted prior to the Meeting and were read out by the Executive Manager Corporate Strategy & Governance.

 

3.17   Andrew McLean of North Perth – Item 9.3

 

I am the 10 year owner of 25 Deague Ct and I wish to speak to Agenda item 5.3 

 

Apologies, due to recent major surgery I am unable to attend in person but I wish to offer my support for this proposed development at 2 Deague Ct.

 

I have worked in the building and construction industry for 40 years and now, in semi retirement, I've conducted subsidence remediation works on a properties in Deague court and Hanover place- including my own that is particularly affected. 

 

Given it will be his own long term home Quentin has shown a keen interest in how to best address subsidence and in general know he intends to build his home well.

 

I have also assisted Quentin on his recent projects including a new build in Wembley Downs.

 

He and his builder Summit Homes Group produced a lovely family home there to.

 

The properties in our street are in need of renewal and I support efforts to do so'

 

3.18   Andrew Main of North Perth – Item 9.7

 

Question 1

In the 12 month period it took the City of Fremantle to prepare its integrated transport strategy, drafts of the strategy were regularly provided to a formal Council Committee for its consideration and feedback. As such, the draft strategy was a public document as were the changes made.

 

In keeping with the City Of Vincent’s value of being accountable, will the City make public a copy of the draft Strategy that was initially submitted to the City by its consultants, and indicate the changes made to the strategy as a result of requests by officers and councillors since that time?

 

Question 2

When the city prepares documents of a similar nature to the Accessible City Strategy, feedback received during the consultation process, and the City’s response to this feedback, is publicly available.

 

Formal resident consultation on the strategy took place in May 2019 and there has been engagement by the City with state government agencies. However, a consultation report on feedback received has not been put in the public domain. As such, when will the city make public a report which includes the feedback received from both residents, ratepayers and state government agencies?

 

Question 3

To prepare the strategy, it is clear that there has been a considerable amount of research, as well as field surveys, carried out by the consultants. To aid members of the public and other stakeholders that wish to provide comment on the strategy, will the city provide the data that has been collected and used to prepare the strategy and the findings and recommendations within it?

 

Question 4

Low traffic neighbourhoods are precincts that have been treated so that through traffic, or ‘rat running’, is discouraged through the use of measures including modal filtering. Was the consultant asked to consider, or did they provide advice, on the concept of low traffic neighbourhoods? Why was the concept not discussed in the strategy or a recommendation made to implement them in the City?

 

Question 5

It is noted that the strategy includes mode share targets for journeys to work. Why doesn’t the strategy include mode share targets for all trips, and/or trips to school, shops, recreational facilities, sporting facilities etc? In addition, why doesn’t the strategy include targets for cycling trips along key cycling routes, of which data is collected through the ‘Super Tuesday’ count?

 

Question 6

The draft strategy aims for modal shift in the community but one area where the City has greatest control of modal shift is its own workforce. Why doesn't the strategy explicitly include any actions and targets for modal shift in the City's workforce so that the City can be seen to lead by example? In addition, why aren’t similar mode shift targets recommended for elected members given the strong support this would provide for the concept?

 

Question 7

There are a number of tables and maps in the draft strategy document which are difficult to read due to their low resolution.

 

Will the city make all tables and maps separate documents so that they are legible to those that wish to view them?

 

Responses will be provided in the 17 November Council Meeting Agenda.

 

3.19   Peter and Nina Cajaglis of North Perth – Item 9.3

 

We felt there was an alliance formed before the meeting, this group banded together at the meeting to comment on the personal character of Quentin Chester.  This was irrelevant to the proposed development of 2 Deague Court.  Some members of this group live in Hanover Place, therefore the developments at 2 Deague Court do not directly affect them.  We should also mention, one group member who commented on the personal character of Quentin Chester, Maria Tagliaferri, lives in Barnett St, North Perth. She is only a co-owner with her sister but does not reside in Deague Court.  

 

With reference to item 5.3, the proposed development at 2 Deague Court- we live directly across the road at No. 1 Deague Court and we have valid concerns that were expressed in the Community Consultation Submission Form we submitted to City of Vincent. 

 

We expect the proposed development to comply with the all the requirements listed under the "deemed to comply provision".  Should it be approved that the upper floor project is forward of the ground floor alignment this will greatly have an effect on our property.  (as stated in our submission form).  We have lived at 1 Deague Court since 1984.

 

3.20   Richard Williams of VVAAWA – Item 12.5

 

Due to unexpected circumstances, I will not be able to attend tonight’s Council meeting, please accept my apology. 

 

I am forwarding this letter of support, in favour of the City of Vincent’s pending transfer of the Title of ANZAC Cottage, to the National Trust, Western Australia.

 

The Vietnam Veterans of Australia Western Australian Branch Inc [VVAA WA], appreciate the relationship that the VVAA WA have had with the City of Vincent, since transferring the ANZAC Cottage to the Town of Vincent, in 2005, there has been ongoing cooperation between the City and VVAA WA.

 

The decision by the City of Vincent, to transfer the Cottage Title to the National Trust, at this time, is welcomed and supported by the VVAA WA.

Once ANZAC Cottage is listed on the National Trust register, it ensures the future and history of this unique property in years to come.

 

The VVAA WA, look forward to having a continuing relationship with the City of Vincent, at ANZAC Cottage and the future opportunity to establishing a close working relationship with the National Trust of Western Australia.

 

There being no further speakers, Public Question Time closed at approximately 6.51pm.

(B)       Response to Previous Public Questions Taken On Notice

3.1       Dudley Maier of Highgate – Item 10.1 Waste Strategy Project

 

Questions

 

1.       How much has the city spent on consultants in developing the Integrated Transport Plan? What is the estimated cost of staff time in developing this plan?  What is its current status?

 

          The total cost of consultants for the Integrated Transport Plan (now referred to as the Accessible City Strategy) is $280,000 as per the original scope and contract. Of this amount, $95,000 has been allocated to City-wide parking surveys and $20,000 has been allocated to the Leederville Transport Impact Assessment which also informs the preparation of the Leederville Activity Centre Plan.

 

          The development of this Strategy was forecasted and approved, and staff resourcing attributed to this project is accounted for within existing staff budget allocation. The estimated staff cost is $40,000, which is based on the staff time associated with this strategy being 0.5 of a full time equivalent for the accumulated duration of one year.  

 

          The draft Accessible City Strategy has been developed and is due to be presented to Council for approval to advertise for public comment this calendar year.

 

2.       At the 30 March and 18 August meetings the Council agreed to exemptions under Schedule 2, Part 7, Clause 61(2)(d) of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015. That clause refers to temporary uses in existence for 48 hours, or a longer period agreed by the local government.  Both council decisions neglected to explicitly specify a longer period as required by the regulations.

 

          Was it an oversight, and does the failure to nominate a period mean that temporary uses are restricted to 48 hours?

 

          Periods of time were specified in both Council resolutions that have been referred to.

 

          The temporary period for exemption in the 30 March 2020 Special Council Meeting resolution was specified as the end of the State of emergency or until 15 September 2020.

 

Council at its meeting on 18 August 2020 extended the exemption period until 90 days after the State of emergency is lifted in line with the Minister’s exemptions.

 

          What (temporary) uses would be allowed under Vincent’s approach which would not be allowed under the Minister’s Notice of Exemption of 30 April?

 

          A greater range of land uses are temporarily exempt from the need to obtain planning approval under the City’s temporary planning exemptions in comparison to the Minister’s Notice of Exemption.

 

          Under the Minister’s Notice of Exemption dated 30 April 2020, the following land uses are temporarily exempt from needing planning approval in non-residential zones in the City (subject to conditions):

 

·            Shop;

·            Restaurant/Café;

·            Convenience Store (excluding those selling petroleum products);

·            Consulting Rooms;

·            Office; and

·            Home Business in the Residential zone.

 

The COVID-19 planning exemptions approved by Council at its 30 March 2020 Special Council Meeting sets out that all uses that are permissible (being ‘P’, ‘D’ and ‘A’ uses in the City’s Local Planning Scheme No. 2) in non-residential zones in the City are temporarily exempt from the need to obtain approval (subject to conditions).

 

3.       In December 2016 the city completed a Bike Boulevard which extended along Shakespeare Street from Scarborough Beach Road to Green Street and which cost $757,000. In March this year, prior to any Covid restrictions, the Bicycle Network conducted the annual Super Tuesday Bike Count. This counts all bicycle usage at strategic intersections during the morning peak period.

 

Can the administration confirm that the results of this year’s count showed that not a single cyclist used the bike boulevard between Scarborough Beach Road and Green Street?

 

Yes, no cyclists appeared to use the route from 7am to 9am on 3 March 2020. 

 

What confidence does the administration have that there will be any more cyclists using the proposed bike route along Strathcona Street, or will this be more wasted money providing bike routes that cyclists don’t use?

 

The count undertaken 3rd March 2020, from 7 to 9am, showed 7 south bound cyclists and 1 north bound cyclist using Strathcona St.  Any implementation should show an increase in users, and this will only increase in subsequent years as cycling is taken up by the community.  Council has made a strategic decision to begin implementation of cycle routes throughout the city, which will take years to reach full connectivity, hopefully matching the buildup of users.  This is a strategic process that slowly changes community transport mode – it cannot be viewed or tested as an instanteous transformation of mode.

 

4.       The answers to previous questions about the elements of the Built Form Policy requiring applicants to provide Urban Design Studies and to meet specified ‘sustainability performance standards’, plus the monthly application statistics, indicates that not all development applications are required to provide these.

 

What criteria do the staff use to determine when these are required, and how do applicants know, prior to submitting an application, that they are required to provide them? Why aren’t these criteria included in the policy?

 

The City’s Built Form Policy sets out deemed-to-comply standards and local housing objectives for developments. This includes the requirement to provide an Urban Design Study and to demonstrate that the Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) standards have been met.

 

Information sheets and checklists have been prepared by Administration to set out information needed to accompany applications based on specific development types and to support the implementation of the Built form Policy. These information sheets and checklists are available on the City’s website to assist customers in lodging applications and to streamline the approvals process.

 

Alterations and additions to a dwelling are deemed to be development proposals that are minor in nature. This includes sheds, patios, carports, garages, retaining walls and extensions to dwellings. For developments of this type, a streetscape analysis would be required only where it is significant development proposed to be located at the front of the site and that may have a visual impact on the streetscape. The submission of information to demonstrate ESD standards have been met would not be required for such proposals, as it is of a low scale and the site planning considerations to inform ESD considerations would be limited by the existing built form on the site. Information sheets relating to submission requirements for alterations and additions to dwellings are available on the City’s website.

 

5.       The minutes of the Reconciliation Working Group indicate the group recently considered the co-naming of Hyde Park.  Given that the council requested that the co-naming of Weld Square be progressed over 10 years ago, and the response from the administration on 8 March 2016, in response to a motion at the AGM, was that it would be referred to the Reconcilaition Working Group, has the co-naming of Weld Square been referred to the working group and what is the status of the initiative?

 

The Reconciliation Working Group was recently re-constituted and members of the group requested the City consider the co-naming of Hyde Park.  This is one of a number high profile locations that are being considered for co-naming or renaming to reflect indigenous heritage, including Weld Square and Banks Reserve.

 

Co-naming of Weld Square was referred to the Reconciliation Working Group in 2018 and the Whadjuk Working Party suggested two names, including ‘Coolbardie Park’ and ‘Noongar Park’.

 

Co-naming and renaming of City locations, including Weld Square, remains on the agenda of the Reconciliation Working Group and will next be considered on 30 November 2020.

 

6.       There are currently plans out for public comment for a single dwelling at 67 Mary Street, Highgate.  Two of the areas which do not meet the deemed to comply provisions are the garage          setback and garage width. The problem is that the plans clearly show that the garage faces the laneway and not the street.

 

          Who checks assessments before they are put out for comment and who takes responsibility for this incorrect assessment?

 

          The site is subject to assessment against Volume 1 Section 5 of the City’s Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form.

 

          In relation to garage width, the deemed-to-comply provisions (C5.5.1) of the Built Form Policy clause 5.5 (Garage Width) references the ‘width of the lot’. This provision does not exclude proposed developments fronting a right-of-way, and which applies to the subject application. On this basis, garage width has been identified as being a departure to the deemed-to-comply provisions of the Built Form Policy.

 

          The proposed setback of the garage has been incorrectly identified and advertised as a departure to the deemed-to-comply standard of the Built Form Policy. The deemed-to-comply provisions (C5.4.2) of the Built Form Policy clause 5.4 (Garages and Carports) stipulates that garages are to be setback a minimum 500mm behind the dwelling alignment. In the case where a dwelling abuts or has an interface to a right-of-way, the Built Form Policy clause 5.13 (Development on Rights of Way) would prevail, requiring development to be setback 1 metre from the right-of-way. The proposed setback of the garage as part of the subject application would meet this standard.

 

          Administration collectively is responsible for the accuracy of assessments prior to advertising applications. Where there has been an error identified in advertising material, Administration would advise the applicant and clarify this in responding to any submissions. Administration has notified the applicant of the error made in this instance, and this will be accounted for in dealing with submissions and in the subsequent determination of the application.

1.          Parking across footpath

 

          I have submitted numerous online and verbal requests for rangers to deal with the regular parking of vehicles across the footpath at two properties on Wasley Street Mt Lawley. Will the City be taking any action to prevent this from occurring in future.

 

          The Rangers will continue to respond to all requests from residents relating to parking as well as being proactive whilst on general patrols to identify any parking issues and to deal with them in the appropriate manner.

 

2.          Beatty park reserve

 

          There are two water fountains at the reserve. One was turned off in 2019, the other earlier this year. Is there a plan to turn these back on?

 

          The fountain adjacent the playground is currently being reinstated.

 

Do the works that took place on the demolished Pavillon site comply with safety and disability regulations? In particular the gradient of the ramp leading from the reserve to the car park, and the drop of approximately 1m from the garden to the carpark.

 

The existing ACROD parking bay was installed in accordance with standards of the time but if it were to be installed today the current standards would apply and the ACROD bay would likely be installed elsewhere, i.e. well away from the landscaped area and tree coverage.  Therefore in order to provide an amenity/access for parks users with limited mobility the ramp was installed despite the gradient not being fully compliant.  The retaining wall meets the BCA and doesn’t require a balustrade.

 

3.          William/Brisbane St ‘two way project’

 

          When did council approve this project?

 

          Please refer to the Ordinary Meeting of Council 10 June 2014.

 

          Were members of the community given the opportunity to make comment on detailed plans for this project before the City finalised its plans and carried out the works?

 

          Yes, refer to the Ordinary Meeting of Council 10 June 2014.

 

          Is Council aware that there are no kerb ramps or median islands on William Street between Brisbane and Newcastle Streets?

 

          Kerb ramps exist, created from a low mountable kerb and paving.  Due to width constraints no medians were considered along Williams Street. 

 

          Does Council consider the lack of safe pedestrian crossing points acceptable? I

 

          Pram ramps exist at intersections along William St.  Mid-block pedestrian crossings were not considered at this time, to maximise embayed parking provision.

 

          In addition, is this situation in compliance with relevant disability laws and regulations?

 

          When installed, current pram ramps met current standards.  When the pram ramps are upgraded in the future they will be upgraded to the current standard.

 

4.          William/Walcott St intersection

 

          Is Council aware that the kerb ramps and median island cut outs on Walcott Street on the southern side of this intersection, have recently been removed?

 

          Yes, this issue involved 18 months of prior liaison with Main Roads WA, regarding changes to the existing signals.

 

          Why were these works considered necessary?

 

          The particular crossing does not align correctly with road verges.  Rather than relocate the traffic signals ($100k+) the crossing was removed ($5k).

 

          A significant accident history had been noted with Walcott St east vehicles turning right into William St.  The City agree to remove the pedestrian conflict with this movement.  Further, the particular crossing does not align correctly with road verges, and the crossing did not meet current standards.

 

          Who approved these works?

 

          City of Vincent / City of Stirling / Main Roads WA.

         

The works were undertaken by City of Stirling.

 

          No, Main Roads WA.

 

          Prior to these works being approved, was public feedback sought? If so, when and how did this occur?

          We cannot comment about the Main Roads WA processes.

 

5.          Driveways and crossovers

 

          I refer to the City’s policy on driveways and crossovers. I note that this policy states that the maximum driveway width is to be 6m. As such, if the street frontage of a property is 6m or less, could a crossover covering the entire verge be constructed?

 

          No, as the crossover width would need to be consistent with the planning approval issued for the development. In assessing the application for the development, the deemed-to-comply garage width is limited to a maximum of 4m for lots less than 10m wide under the City’s amended Built Form Policy.

 

          If so, is Council concerned about this outcome and taking any steps to change the laws relating to this issue?

 

          If the community expresses concern, the City will address the issue via its development policies.  Currently, please note that completely paved verges already exist along many of the commercial zoned areas.

 

          In addition, I am aware of a property where a recently constructed driveway and associated crossover is 8m in width. Given the City’s policy, are these works illegal?

 

          In reference to residential development vehicular access is assessed in accordance with Clause 5.3.5 of the R Codes, Clause 5.3.5 (C5.2) specifies a deemed to comply requirement of no driveway wider than 6m at the street boundary and driveways in aggregate no greater than 9m for any one property. A driveway is defined under the R Codes as the portion of the paved vehicle access way between a car parking area and the property boundary excluding any associated landscaping or pedestrian path on either side. Where a development proposes a driveway exceeding 6m then this would require development approval, departures to the deemed-to-comply requirements are assessed against the design principles and may be capable of support.

 

6.          Verge paving

 

          I note the City’s policy that governs the paving of verges. This policy indicates that verges can be paved to a maximum width of 7.5m. If this is the case, and the street frontage of a property is 7.5m or less, does this mean the entire verge can be paved? If so, is the Council concerned with this potential outcome?

 

Yes, the entire verge may become paved, as currently exists on many commercial zoned areas within the City. 

 

          If the community expresses concern, the City will address the issue via its development policies.  As with local distributer roads, if sealed verge start to become extensive they can be broken up with intermittent plantings and other street furniture. 

 

3.3       Response to Sally Lake’s question taken at 18 August 2020 Ordinary Council Meeting

 

The Mayor requested that further details be provided on the response to this question, particularly the Street Tree Selection Tool. 

 

The Street Tree Selection Tool is a very complex spreasdsheet made up of over 30 different attributes that may affect the selection outcome. It is not a simple tool to use without training and knowledge of the very basic general specifications and was therefore never developed for public use.

 

Staff are always willing to sit down with anyone particularly interested in tree selection to provide advice and go through the process of selection with them.

Recommendation:

That Council, in accordance with the provisions of the City of Vincent Local Planning Scheme No. 2 and the Metropolitan Region Scheme, REFUSES the application for Two Grouped Dwellings at No. 2 (Lot: 119; D/P: 12521) Deague Court, North Perth in accordance with the plans shown in Attachment 2 for the following reasons:

1.       The proposed street setback of proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2 does not meet the Local Housing Objectives of Clause 5.1 of the City’s Built Form Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form and Design Principles of Clause P5.1.2 (P2.1 and P2.2) of State Planning Policy 7.3: Residential Design Codes – Volume 1. The reduced setback and street interface of the dwellings does not preserve or enhance the visual character of the existing streetscape;

2.       The proposed open space does not meet the Design Principles of Clause 5.1.4 (P4) of State Planning Policy 7.3: Residential Design Codes – Volume 1. The reduced open space contributes to the reduced street setback, resulting in a development that would not incorporate suitable open space to reflect the existing and/or desired streetscape character or reduce the impacts of building bulk on Deague Court;

3.       The proposed setback of the garages of Lot 1 and Lot 2 do not meet the Local Housing Objectives of Clause 5.4 of the City’s Built Form Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form and Design Principles of Clause P5.2.1 (P1) of State Planning Policy 7.3: Residential Design Codes – Volume 1. The setback of the garages in line with the predominant building line of the dwellings does not preserve or enhances the visual character of the existing streetscape and does not reduce vehicle access points to the street; and

4.       As a consequence of the departures sought in relation to street setback, open space and setback of garages, the proposed development is not consistent with the Deemed Provisions in Schedule 2 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 as it:

4.1     Is not compatible with its setting Clause 67(m);

4.2     Would have an adverse amenity impact and detrimental impact on the character of the locality Clause 67(n); and

4.3     Would not enhance the amenity and character of the existing neighbourhood and is not compatible with the established area in accordance with the objectives of the Scheme.

Council Decision Item 9.3

Alternative Recommendation

Moved: Cr Topelberg, Seconded: Cr Fotakis                                                                                   

That Council:

 

1.          NOTES that Manna Inc. is a highly valued and respected service provider and that the City and Manna Inc. have a very positive relationship over 12 years at Weld Square.

2.          NOTES that antisocial behaviour has been escalating at Weld Square and residents, business owners and visitors have reported feeling increasingly unsafe and unable to use Weld Square as a local open space.

3.          NOTES that Manna Inc. Weld Square service patronage is lower than previous years, with a growing proportion of patron’s not experiencing homelessness, and that the City does have alternative service provision through the Leederville Gardens Trust Fund COVID Relief to support residents dealing with food insecurity.

4.          DETERMINES that the Manna Inc. meal service, and any other goods and service provision, will cease and not be permitted at Weld Square from 31 December 2020 for 12 months to allow for an assessment of the impact on amenity and safety at Weld Square. The current operating conditions will continue to apply to the Manna Inc. Meal Service until 31 December 2020.

5.          REAFFIRMS that Manna Inc. was due to transition from Weld Square during the current approval period with the preferred location being Tranby House, prior to Uniting WA restructuring their service model.

6.          ADVISES that the option of transitioning to the newly established Moore Street Precinct does remain open for Manna Inc. and requests that Administration continue to work with Manna Inc. and other stakeholders on alternative locations for the meal service.

7.          REQUIRES the reestablishment of the Safer Vincent Advisory Group with a report to the November Ordinary Council Meeting to consider the terms of reference, representatives (including WA Police, Nyoongar Outreach, Uniting WA, Ranger Services) and community and Council Member representation.

8.          RECEIVES a report no later than October 2021 relating to the provision of a food service in the Perth / Northbridge area and any changes to the activity and usage of Weld Square. 

 

 

 

REASON:

 

When the Council gave the current 12 month approval for Manna Inc. at the 12 November 2019 Ordinary Meeting of Council to continue the meal service at Weld Square, the intent was for 2020 to be a year of transition to provide an opportunity for the reserve to be rested from goods and service provision.

 

The option to transition to Tranby House is not viable, as Tranby House no longer operates as a drop in day centre. However, the Moore Street Precinct has since been established by the City of Perth as an outcome of the City Homelessness Response Framework Committee Action Plan. The City of Vincent has been a participant of the Committee. Whilst the Precinct is not open for a lunch time service, there is capacity for Manna Inc. to provide some food service at the location, starting from 4.30p.m.

 

A recent survey undertaken by Manna Inc. demonstrates that numbers of patrons have reduced, and with a growing proportion of patrons not experiencing homelessness (approximately 40%). The City of Vincent does have a range of current partnerships with Public Benevolent Institutions funded through the Leederville Gardens Trust Fund COVID Relief to support residents dealing with food insecurity.

 

Increasing antisocial behaviour, camping and safety issues are being reported, and City of Vincent Rangers do not currently patrol on foot through Weld Square. Whilst the purpose is not to attribute these issues to Manna Inc., a highly professional and valued service, it is important for the City of Vincent to seek to find a balance in the use of Weld Square, to take steps to ensure a safe environment for all and to be responsive to changing needs and emerging issues.

 

By removing all goods and service delivery from Weld Square for a defined period, the City will be able to assess the impact on the amenity, safety and use of Weld Square.

 

Further to this, the reestablishment of the Safer Vincent Advisory Group will ensure that a partnership approach will continue between all stakeholders, including the WA Police, Ranger Services, Noongar Outreach, Uniting WA, and with community feedback and Council Member oversight.

9.7          Accessible City Strategy

Attachments:            1.       Draft Accessible City Strategy   

Recommendation:

That Council:

1.       APPROVES the draft Accessible City Strategy 2020-2030 at Attachment 1 for advertising for a period of 42 days in accordance with the City’s Policy No. 4.1.5 – Community Consultation;

2.       NOTES:

2.1     a further report will be presented to the Ordinary Meeting of Council detailing any submissions received during the public comments period;

2.2     the draft Accessible City Strategy 2020-2030 will be subject to further formatting, styling and graphic design as determined by the Chief Executive Officer prior to publication;

2.3     the positive summary 12 month trial evaluation results in speed reduction and crash benefits from the City of Vincent 40km/h speed zone trial in North Perth; and

2.4     the full 12 month trial evaluation report on the City of Vincent 40km/h trial undertaken in conjunction with the Road Safety Commission will be released publicly during Road Safety Week in November which will coincide with public consultation on the draft Accessible City Strategy 2020-2030; and

3.       ENDORSES a target in the draft Accessible City Strategy to implement a 40km/h traffic speed zone in all residential areas of the City of Vincent by 2023.

Moved: Cr Hallett, Seconded: Cr Gontaszewski

That the recommendation be adopted.

 

Amendment

Moved: Cr Topelberg, Seconded: Cr Fotakis

That Recommendation 1 be amended as follows:

 

1.       APPROVES the draft Accessible City Strategy 2020-2030 at Attachment 1 for advertising for a period of 42 days in accordance with the City’s Policy No. 4.1.5 – Community Consultation, subject to:

 

1.1     the deletion of Action 3.3.4 “Investigate the implementation of a pricing mechanism for residential parking permits at a rate which reflects the benefit to the landowner of the value of parking which is available on public land” and all related text within the Strategy and Implementation Plan;

 

REASON:

 

The draft Accessible City Strategy includes a range of significant steps and bodies of work to achieve mode shift, including through better public transport connectivity, car and bike sharing, further development of the bike network plan and development of streets in line with Safe Active Streets geometry.

 

Action 3.3.1 requires a Business Plan for the management of parking within Vincent and Action 3.3.3 requires better management of the supply of on street parking, including consideration of limiting roadside residential parking to the property.

 

These actions represent significant change and would be important and major steps forward without having to necessitate the investigation of pricing mechanisms for residential on street parking. Action 3.3.4 seems to be a ‘bridge to far’ and I believe this would not be welcomed or supported by Vincent residents at this time, even as part of an aspirational 10 year Plan.

 

The Strategy is due to be reviewed annually, with a major review at 2025. This presents ample opportunity to review, modify or introduce new actions as the Vincent community moves forward with us on this mode shift journey.
