CONTRACT RANGER SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS 8.2.3.

Applicant: Shire of Corrigin Location: Shire of Corrigin Date: 19 April 2016 Reporting Officer: Rob Paull Chief Executive Officer Disclosure of Interest: No interest to disclose File Number: LE 0010

SUMMARY This Report seeks Council’s consideration in relation to moving away from being part of the Central Wheatbelt Ranger Service to the Shire seeking alternate ranger service which could include an arrangement with other ROE Roc Councils (including Bruce Rock). BACKGROUND Since 2006 the Shire of Corrigin has used the services of the Shire of Merredin as part of the Central Wheatbelt Ranger Service to provide a ranger service to the Shire. Council’s most recent review of the Service was undertaken in 2014 where Council resolved as follows: “That Council authorises the CEO to enter into the attached Memorandum of Understanding with the Shire of Merredin for the provision of the Central Wheatbelt Ranger Service.” The Scheme is to hold an annual meeting on 29 April 2016 to review the Service and consider an extension of the current MoU by exchange of letters, or the negotiation of a revised MoU. At times over the last 12 months, the Merredin Ranger has not been available due to personal issues. During this period, the Shire employed a contract ranger who showed credible professional customer service and community education skills, along with swift and decisive enforcement actions. COMMENT The Shire’s experience with the current arrangement is that it has not been as positive as previous years with the following observations and outcomes of the service provided:

inconsistent attendance at Corrigin by the Ranger.

the Ranger arriving at the Shire un-announced (where as the Ranger is to call before entering the Shire so as to address any matters that might arise outside of the townsite);

inconsistent quality of enforcement and education of ranger related matters; and

apparent deficiency of commitment to ranger related matters associated with the Shire of Corrigin.

Essentially, the service sought by the Shire is a part time role that oversees and leads in the following matters relevant to the Shire of Corrigin:

Dog and Cat management.

Off road vehicle management.

Litter and illegal dumping management.


34

Abandoned vehicle management.

Animal control including reptile handling.

Caravan and camping control.

Administration for the above. This is also a matter that ROE Roc Councils (and Bruce Rock) are also seeking however the arrangements are at a very early stage of negotiations. It is concluded that the Shire can gain a more targeted ranger service through moving away from being part of the Central Wheatbelt Ranger Service to the Shire seeking alternate ranger service which could include an arrangement with other ROE Roc Councils (including Bruce Rock). STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT The role of a ranger has responsibility for numerous areas of legislation including the following: Local Government Act 1995 Dog Act 1976 Cat Act 2011 Bush Fires Act 1954 Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995 POLICY IMPLICATIONS There are no known policy implications in relation to this item. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Budgeted contribution to the scheme of $7,200 for the 2015/16 financial year. This will be reviewed as part of the 16/17 Budget review. COMMUNITY & STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES The matter before Council generally accords with the following Shire desired outcome as expressed in the Shire of Corrigin Strategic Community Plan 2013-2023: 6.2 Focus area two: Developing Leadership Goal Five: We want to strengthen our community’s position for the future

Service. 2. Advise the Shire of Merredin that the Shire of Corrigin won’t seek to pursue a further

Memorandum of Understanding Central Wheatbelt Ranger Service. 3. Authorise the Chief Executive officer to seek more targeted ranger service through a contract

(including Bruce Rock) and that should this eventuate, a further report be submitted to Council for consideration.

SALE OF CONVEYORS SURPLUS TO THE SHIRE’S NEEDS 8.3.1.

Applicant: Shire of Corrigin Location: Lot 18822 and 18862 Corrigin South Road, Corrigin Date: 19 April 2016 Reporting Officer: Rob Paull, Chief Executive Officer Disclosure of Interest: No interest to disclose File Number: WM 0013

SUMMARY Council is requested to agree to sell conveyors that are surplus to the Shire’s needs subject to S3.58 (3) of the Local Government Act 1995.


36

BACKGROUND The Shire has three conveyors previously used in the process of gravel extraction located on Lot 18822 and 18862 Corrigin South Road, Corrigin. The conveyors are shown as follows:

COMMENT The conveyors are in a very rundown condition and have not been used for many years. It is questionable whether they will operate as the electrical motors have not been tested. For such a test to be undertaken, the Shire would need to expend funds to install a generator to determine whether the electrical motors and conveyor still works. Due to the relatively dilapidated state, such a test is not considered to be prudent use of Shire funds. Should Council agree to the sale, it is considered that the bidder:

• provides evidence that they (or their representative) have inspected the conveyors; • is responsible to arrange their own pick-up and delivery of the conveyors; and • acknowledges that the:

o conveyors will be sold without any registration or warranty and on a ‘where is/what is’ basis; and

o Shire will not seek to expend funds starting the conveyors. The sale would be subject to the provisions relating to giving public notification of the proposed disposition under S3.58 (3) of the Local Government Act 1995. Local advertising would be via the Shire’s Website, Windmill publication, public notice and Facebook page. The Shire will determine a date and time for accompanied inspection for interested bidders.

STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT Local Government Act 1995 The statutory implications associated with disposing of property are contained within S3.58 Disposing of Property:

3.58. Disposing of property

(1) In this section —

dispose includes to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of, whether absolutely or not;

property includes the whole or any part of the interest of a local government in property, but does not include money.

(2) Except as stated in this section, a local government can only dispose of property to —


37

(a) the highest bidder at public auction; or

(b) the person who at public tender called by the local government makes what is, in the opinion of the local government, the most acceptable tender, whether or not it is the highest tender.

(3) A local government can dispose of property other than under subsection (2) if, before agreeing to dispose of the property —

(a) it gives local public notice of the proposed disposition —

(i) describing the property concerned; and

(ii) giving details of the proposed disposition; and

(iii) inviting submissions to be made to the local government before a date to be specified in the notice, being a date not less than 2 weeks after the notice is first given;

and

(b) it considers any submissions made to it before the date specified in the notice and, if its decision is made by the council or a committee, the decision and the reasons for it are recorded in the minutes of the meeting at which the decision was made.”

REQUEST TO ENSURE CONTINUED UNRESTRICTED PEDESTRIAN AND DISABLED ACCESS FROM 8.3.2.THE LANEWAY BETWEEN THE TOWN HALL (LOT 70) AND CORRIGIN DISTRICT CLUB (LOT 69), GOYDER STREET, CORRIGIN

Applicant: Shire of Corrigin Location: Lot 69 and 70 Goyder Street, Corrigin Date: 19 April 2016 Reporting Officer: Rob Paull, Chief Executive Officer Disclosure of Interest: No interest to disclose File Number: 8.3.2

SUMMARY The Corrigin District Club has requested Council to agree to ensure continued unrestricted pedestrian access from the portion of laneway between the Town Hall (Lot 70) and Corrigin District Club (Lot 69), Goyder Street, Corrigin.


39

BACKGROUND The Corrigin District Club is proposing a disabled and infirm ramp to the Club building and has asked Council to ensure the unrestricted access from the pathway between the Town Hall and Club building is maintained. The following generally depicts the boundary between the two lots:

COMMENT The most effective means to provide an ramp to the District Club building that complies with building codes and Standards Australia for construction, access and slope is to locate the ramp along the boundary between the Town Hall (Lot 70) and Corrigin District Club (Lot 69). Such an arrangement is only available should Council agree to provided continued and unfettered pedestrian access along the existing pathway as patrons will need to access the Town Hall side of the laneway. It is noted that Council cannot dispose of Lot 70 (as it is reserved land) however the District Club can sell Lot 69. In this regard, it is possible for Council to agree to such a request as there is no plan to close the access along the side of the Town Hall or to fence the boundary. At this stage, such arrangements should not add to any additional liability on the Shire. However, it is appropriate that the District Club or any future owner of Lot 69 agree to indemnify the Council against any potential claims made due to accessing the ramp.

RAIL INTERFACE AGREEMENT – BROOKFIELD RAIL, MAIN ROADS WA AND THE NATIONAL 8.3.3. RAIL SAFETY REGULATOR

Applicant: Brookfield Rail, Main Roads WA and the National Rail Safety Regulator Location: Shire of Corrigin Rail Crossings Date: 19 April 2016 Reporting Officer: Rob Paull, Chief Executive Officer Disclosure of Interest: No interest to disclose File Number: ROA029 Attachments 8.3.3A, 8.3.3B and 8.3.3C

SUMMARY Council is requested to agree to revoke its resolution of 19 February 2013 in relation to signing the Interface Agreement between the Shire of Corrigin, Brookfield Rail and Main Roads WA and instead conditionally agree to sign on the Agreement on the basis that the Shire will not be responsible for works authorised on behalf of Brookfield but then paid for by the Shire. BACKGROUND At the Council meeting of 19 February 2013, Council considered a draft Interface Agreement between the Shire of Corrigin, Brookfield Rail and Main Roads WA that covered all rail crossings within the Shire of Corrigin boundaries. Interface Agreements were originally required for all rail crossings involving a road, footpath or shared path under the provisions of the Rail Safety Act 2010. At the meeting, Council resolved as follows: “That Council:

1. Enters into the proposed Rail Interface Agreement with Brookfield Rail and Main Roads WA for all rail crossings within the Shire of Corrigin boundaries; and

2. Authorises the Chief Executive Officer to sign the agreement on behalf of the Shire of Corrigin.“ (8115)

A copy of the Shire Report and the 2013 draft Interface Agreement is included as Attachments 8.3.3A and 8.3.3B respectively. It would appear that the Agreement was not formally entered into by the Shire as certain issues arose after the February 2013 meeting relating to concerns expressed by Narembeen and Kulin Shires that the draft could result in local governments being responsible for unauthorised works undertaken on behalf of Brookfield. Both of these local governments have since agreed to sign


42

the Agreement (note Attachment 8.3.3C for the most recent 2014 draft Agreement) provided there is a specific change that includes reference to the following: “Accordingly the following activities are carried out by the Rail Infrastructure Manager at the cost

of the Local Government, following the issue of a Works order from the Local Government, or MRWA as indicated in the brackets below”

It is understood that the Agreements are still to be altered to reflect he above required change. Since 2103, the Rail Safety Act 2010 was repealed and replaced in November of last year with the Rail Safety National Law (WA) Act 2015 and the former Office of Rail Safety was replaced with the National Rail Safety Regulator. By way of information, the Rail Safety National Law, like the Rail Safety Act (WA) 2010 that preceded it contains provision for rail infrastructure managers (i.e. Brookfield Rail Pty Ltd) and road managers of public roads to enter into safety interface agreements to jointly manage the risks associated with these interfaces. The National Rail Safety Regulator has been liaising with Main Roads WA and the Western Australia Local Government Association (WALGA) to determine the status of these agreements and is now seeking specific information from those Shires we believe so not have current agreements in place. A copy of the letter sent to the Shire from the Regulator in relation to the Interface Agreement is included as Attachment 8.3.3D. COMMENT Whilst the decision of Council in February 2013 is not questioned, it is concluded that some additional issues arose after that time that has concerned our neighbouring Shire with respect to the potential for the Shire being responsible for works authorised on behalf of Brookfield without consultation with the Shire. In reports to their respective Councils in 2014, the CEO’s of Narembeen and Kulin noted: “I will not recommend to Council that the document be signed without the above amendment as I do not want the Local Government to be responsible for unauthorised works. I give you an example of what may happen. The Rail infrastructure manager is in the area doing some minor work to their track, they notice potholes on the LG road within the 3 metre access area and ring CEO/Works manager to advise the works is required, works are carried out at a far greater level by the rail infrastructure manager than anticipated by the LG and we end up with a bill for $20,000.”

The potential for such ‘unauthorised works’ occurring without consultation with the local government is a very realistic prospect under the current draft Agreement. Should this occur, the local government is likely to be responsible for payment.

The suggestion of the including an additional clause to address this matter a condition of signing the Agreement is considered reasonable. On this basis, Council is recommended to revoke its decision of 19 February 2013, Council concerning the Interface Agreement between the Shire of Corrigin, Brookfield Rail and Main Roads WA and instead conditionally agree to sign on the Agreement on the basis that the Shire will not be responsible for works authorised on behalf of Brookfield but then paid for by the Shire.

STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT Rail Safety National Law (WA) Act 2015

POLICY IMPLICATIONS There are no known policy implications in relation to this item.


43

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Whilst there are no known financial implications in relation to signing the Agreement, there are potential long term issues in the current form of the Agreement with the Shire being responsible for works authorised on behalf of Brookfield without consultation with the Shire.

Moved: Mayor C Adams Seconded: Mayor H Henderson That the Emerging Issue on Capping of the Pensioner Rebate on Rates be considered by the meeting.

CARRIED

In Brief The South East Metropolitan Zone State Councillors Mayor Henry Zelones and Cr Fiona Reid

have requested that State Council consider an emerging issue relating to the State Government imposed capping of the Pensioner Rebate on Rates.

The South East Metropolitan Zone have requested the development of a concise, consistent and understandable (industry wide) communication strategy to ensure that all affected pensioners are informed of the significant change to pensioner rate entitlements

The Zone is also requesting WALGA to seek funding from the State Government towards the cost of the Local Government industry communicating this important change to the entitlements of pensioner ratepayers.

Attachment Nil.

Relevance to Strategic Plan Key Strategies Engagement with Members

Deliver a broad range of benefits and services that enhance the capacity of member Local Governments;

Improve communication and build relationships at all levels of member Local Governments; Provide ongoing professional development and interactive opportunities for Elected

Members to contribute to debate on sector issues; Build a strong sense of WALGA ownership and alignment.

Sustainable Local Government

Continue to build capacity to deliver sustainable Local Government; Provide support to all members, according to need; Represent the diversity of members’ aspirations in the further development of Local

Government in Western Australia; Foster economic and regional development in Local Government.

Enhanced Reputation and Relationships

Promote WALGA’s advocacy successes with the sector and the wider community; Strengthen effective relationships with external peak bodies and key decision makers in

State and Federal Government; Develop simple and consistent messages that are effectively articulated;

In Brief Currently, the State Government provides concessions to eligible pensioners and seniors of 50% and 25% respectively on their Local Government rates, ESL and water rates. Providing the eligible


pensioner pays 50% of their rates and ESL, the State Government then pays the Local Government the remaining 50% (there currently is not limit on the upper amount). In the 2015/2016 State Budget, the State Government advised that it will be introducing capping to the current rebates (for Pensioner Card, State Concession Card and Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Cards holders) effective from 01/07/2016. The indicative capping level was $550. In March 2016 the Finance Minister, the Hon Bill Marmion MLA advised that the State Government had listened to feedback and the capped amount will be lifted to $750.00. The effect of the cap being increased by $200.00 will reduce the number of affected households from around 47,000 to 19,300.

Zone Comment

Despite the increase in the cap level, this will still in many cases, reduce the amount of pensioner rebate that registered pensioners are entitled to. This has the potential to create a great deal of angst amongst the pensioner community in Local Government districts, as many pensioners are on limited fix incomes. To lessen the distress to pensioners - and the impact that this change is likely to have on inbound telephone calls from concerned pensioners, Local Governments will need to have a coordinated communication strategy in place to ensure that those affected are aware of the change well before it occurs. It is considered important that affected parties are informed that this is not the Local Government making a discretionary determination to reduce an entitlement (as many pensioners still think that Local Government grant/provide the rebate) - but rather that this is a State Government budget initiative that was introduced through the 2015/2016 State Government budget to take effect from the 2016/2017 financial year. This message needs to be effectively communicated ahead of the 2016/2017 rates issue date, with the aim of reducing the adverse impact on pensioner residents as well as front line Local Government staff. The WA Rates Officers Association contacted the Office of State Revenue/Department of Finance to find out if they would be providing media releases or other publicity campaign to advise pensioners of the soon to be introduced cap limit) on their rates and water service charges. This was the way that Fire & Emergency Services (FESA) announced the introduction of the ESL several years ago. Indeed FESA provided explanatory brochures to every Local Government to distribute to all affected ratepayers. The response to the request from the Rates Officer’s Association that was received from OSR was: The role of OSR is to administer the Rates and Charges (Rebates and Deferments) Act 1992 and to validate the claims made by LGAs. We do not set policy, or make any legislative changes. We merely administer the legislation that is in place from time to time. Therefore, the OSR is not in a position to assist your rate payers with any query or complaint about the cap that has been introduced. OSR cannot say anything other than to give them the details of the budget announcement. We have no discretion, and we have no power to change the legislation. If your rate payer is not satisfied after you have given them the above explanation, the only avenue that they have is to contact their local Member of Parliament. Please do not direct your rate payer to contact the OSR or Department of Finance. As this change was announced as part of the 2015/2016 State Budget, and the OSR’s role is administrative only, we do not intend to issue any media release or other publicity.


It is the view of a number of Local Governments that this abdication of responsibility for advising pensioner ratepayers of this change by both State Government and OSR leaves little choice but for Local Government to take up the burden of communicating this message. To not take action to communicate this change will potentially generate unnecessary angst in the community. The South East Metro Zone is urgently seeking the support of WALGA to advocate for and coordinate an industry wide notification and media communication response to this matter. RESOLUTION - That WALGA:

1. Advocates for and coordinates the development of a concise, consistent and understandable (industry wide) communication strategy to ensure that all affected pensioners are informed of the significant change to pensioner rate entitlements.

2. Seeks funding from the WA State Government towards the cost of the Local Government

industry communicating this important change to the entitlements of pensioner ratepayers.

Secretariat Comment It is noted that the Office of State Revenue and the Department of Finance’s role is to administer the Rates and Charges (Rebates and Deferments) Act 1992 and not to set policy or make any

legislative changes. However whilst we acknowledge this separation of roles, the Association does not agree that this precludes the Office of State Revenue and the Department of Finance from accepting responsibility to provide adequate notice and explanation to affected pensioners. It is noted that the Department’s website currently provides considerable detail regarding pensioner/senior’s concessions and the introduction of the cap from 12 July 2016. The introduction of Pensioner Rebate Capping is a result of the State Government’s 2015-16 Budget. As such, it is our firm view that the State Government must be responsible for adequately informing all adversely affected pensioners as a result of this announcement. As it is the Office of State Revenue that administers the Rebate program it is fundamentally the Office’s responsibility to provide adequate explanation and details to affected pensioners. It is not the role of Local Government to disseminate information to its residents on behalf of the State Government. This is a State Government decision and as such the State Government must accept responsibility for this decision and advise all affected pensioners accordingly. It is acknowledged that the Local Government sector requires a coordinated and consistent industry wide communication strategy on this issue, so that all affected pensioners are informed of the change to the pensioner rate entitlements. A number of strategies can be undertaken from an advocacy and communications position. The following are provided for consideration;

I. WALGA write to the Minister for Finance requesting that the State Government through the Office of State Revenue/Department of Finance provide information to affected pensioners on the changes to the pensioner rebate on rates.

II. WALGA write to the Minister for Local Government and Communities requesting his support for the State Government to provide adequate information to affected pensioners on the changes to the pensioner rebate on rates.

III. WALGA use the President’s West advertorial column to highlight this issue. IV. WALGA provides the sector with standard information for Local Governments wishing to

correspond directly with affected pensioners highlighting that this is a State Government decision and not a Local Government decision.

V. WALGA write to Pensioner Groups advising them of the issue and information. VI. WALGA provide information on the rates section of the new website, currently under

development, to highlight the issue of pensioner rebates as a result of the decision by the State Government.


Moved: Mayor H Zelones Seconded: Cr F Reid That WALGA coordinate the development of a concise, consistent sector wide

communication strategy to ensure that all affected pensioners are informed of the significant

change to pensioner rate entitlements using the following strategies;

1. WALGA write to the Minister for Finance requesting that the State Government through

the Office of State Revenue/Department of Finance provide information to affected

pensioners on the changes to the pensioner rebate on rates.

2. WALGA write to the Minister for Local Government and Communities requesting his

support for the State Government to provide adequate information to affected


3. WALGA use the Presidents West advertorial column to highlight this issue.

4. WALGA provides the sector with standard information for Local Governments wishing

to correspond directly with affected pensioners highlighting that this is a State

Government decision and not a Local Government decision.

5. WALGA write to Pensioner Groups advising them of the issue and information.

6. WALGA provide information on the rates section of the new website, currently under

development, to highlight the issue of pensioner rebates as a result of the decision by

Background

Clause 26 of the WA Local Government Association Constitution, which establishes and regulates the use of the Association’s common seal, provides that:

‘The Association shall have a common seal which shall be held in the custody of the Chief Executive Officer at all times. The common seal may be affixed to documents by resolution of the State Council in the presence of the Chief Executive Officer and one of either the President or Deputy President. The Chief Executive Officer shall maintain a register in which shall be recorded the details of all documents to which the common seal has been affixed.’


On 4 December 2002, the State Council carried a resolution establishing parameters for all use of the common seal and delegating power to affix the common seal in instances where obtaining prior approval is not practical to the Chief Executive Officer and one of either the President or Deputy President. The resolution, which is recorded below, is to be applied retrospectively to all applications of the common seal:

1. That affixation of the Association’s Common Seal be undertaken upon the resolution of State Council except where it is impractical to obtain prior approval;

2. That in instances where obtaining prior approval is impractical, authority to affix the Common Seal be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and one of either the President or Deputy President; and

3. That a regular report be submitted to State Council “for noting” outlining all instances where the Common Seal has been used without prior resolution.

Moved: Cr F Reid Seconded: Mayor H Henderson That the additional Zone Resolutions from the April 2016 round of Zones meetings as follows be referred to the appropriate policy area for consideration. RESOLUTION 54.2/2016 CARRIED

CENTRAL COUNTRY ZONE

Management of Emergency Services Levy - Shire of Wagin (Planning & Community Development) That the Central Country Zone requests WALGA to investigate the establishment of a body to oversee the management of the Emergency Services Levy funds. This body would direct funding to agencies and bodies upon application.

CENTRAL METROPOLITAN ZONE

Development Assessment Panel Processes (DAP) (Planning & Community Development) That WALGA: 1. Advocates for the abolition of Development Assessment Panels (DAPs) on the basis that:

1.1 DAPs by means of their majority unelected membership are not democratic bodies representing the ratepayers and accordingly do not reflect the aspirations or values of the community;

1.2 DAPs represent a significant erosion of planning powers by elected representatives who have been given a mandate by ratepayers to make these decisions; and

1.3 Previous decisions made by the Metro West Joint Development Assessment Panel have gone well beyond the purpose, intent and application of relevant Local Planning Scheme and Policies adopted by the Town of Mosman Park; and

2. Advocates for consideration of the following reforms, in the event that DAPs remain in place,

to ensure greater accountability, transparency and procedural fairness for ratepayers through the Panel's assessment and decision making processes: 2.1 Abolishing the current opt-in mechanism for applicants in favour of a Ministerial call-in

power for projects of state or regional significance, with a minimal value of $20 million, as has been adopted in the eastern states;

2.2 Requiring equal membership on the DAP between Local Government and Appointed Specialist members, with an independent chair;

2.3 Requiring the DAP to set the meeting date for consideration of the development applications to enable inclusion within the community consultation process;

2.4 Requiring the DAP agenda and local government report and recommendation to be published no less than ten business days prior to the scheduled meeting date;

2.5 Requiring a minimum of five business days between publishing the DAP agenda and the date by which ratepayers can make public presentations to the DAP, to provide more time to prepare a formal response;

2.6 Mandating that respondents to the develop application can nominate email or Australia Post as their preferred contact method for information and requiring the local government to contact registered respondents throughout the process as deadlines are reached;


2.7 Providing a public template for ratepayers to assist with the preparation of feedback as part of the Community consultation process

2.8 Requiring any changes to a development application between the community consultation period and final proposal for decision by the DAP to be published on the local government's website and to notify all respondents to the original community consultation of those changes; and

2.9 Removing the need for the local government to obtain the applicant's consent for further consultation or an extension of time to report the applicant's development proposal to a DAP meeting for determination.

State Administrative Tribunal Third Party Appeals (SAT) (Planning & Community Development) That the Central Metropolitan Zone Committee employs WALGA processes to vigorously advocate for the three following objectives in the State Administrative Tribunal and Local Government’s procedures for assessing residential planning applications and report back on progress: a. The right of local governments to determine residential planning applications according to

Local Planning Schemes and Policies of the area b. The opportunity for local governments to defend local planning decisions at the State

Administrative Tribunal at no cost to Local Governments in cases of appeal c. Recognition and endorsement of the right of affected third parties to representation at the State

Administrative Tribunal and Local Government, in residential planning applications to ensure equity to all parties: applicant, respondent and affected third parties, to achieve the resolution of questions, complaints and disputes in planning decisions, particularly in respect of discretionary decisions which result in a significant loss of general amenity.

Social and Environmental Value of the Urban Forest (Environment & Waste) That WALGA be requested to develop a strategic approach for Local Government to follow in recognising the value of the urban forest; placing a clear value on the urban forest through a price mechanism based on a sound methodology, which includes the true cost of removing and replacing an established public or private tree as well as providing for the establishment cost.

GREAT EASTERN COUNTRY ZONE

Road Rail Interface Agreements - Request for Information from the Office of National Rail Safety Regulator (Infrastructure) That the Great Eastern Country Zone seek assistance from Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator and WALGA in resolving outstanding issues Member Councils have with Brookfield Rail Pty Ltd regarding road and rail interface agreements.

PEEL ZONE

Emergency Services Levy (ESL) (Planning & Community Development)

That:

1. WALGA actively investigate the removal of the management of the Emergency Services Levy

across to an independent body that is representative of all beneficiaries; and

2. the rules be reviewed to enable Local Governments to claim the full prevention preparedness

response and recovery elements of emergency management directly for Local Government as

eligible items.



Review of Development Assessment Panels (Planning & Community Development) That WALGA: 1. Advocates for consideration of the following reforms, in the event that DAPs remain in place, to

ensure greater accountability, transparency and procedural fairness for ratepayers through the Panel's assessment and decision making processes:

a. Abolishing the current opt-in mechanism which allows applicants to choose either elected Councils or the DAP as the decision maker in favour of a Ministerial call-in power for projects of state or regional significance, with a minimal value of $20 million, as has been adopted in the eastern states.;

b. Requiring equal membership on the DAP between Local Government and Appointed Specialist members;

c. Requiring the DAP to set the meeting date for consideration of the development applications no later than five working days after the application being received to enable inclusion within the community consultation process;

d. Requiring the DAP agenda and local government report and recommendation to be published no less than ten business days prior to the scheduled meeting date;

e. Requiring a minimum of five business days between publishing the DAP agenda and the date by which ratepayers can make public presentations to the DAP, to provide more time to prepare a formal response;

f. Mandating that respondents to the develop application can nominate email or Australia Post as their preferred contact method for information and requiring the local government to contact registered respondents throughout the process as deadlines are reached;

g. Providing a public template for ratepayers to assist with the preparation of feedback as part of the Community consultation process;

h. Requiring any changes to a development application between the community consultation period and final proposal for decision by the DAP to be published on the local government's website and to notify all respondents to the original community consultation of those changes; and

i. Removing the need for the local government to obtain the applicant's consent for further consultation or an extension of time to report the applicant's development proposal to a DAP meeting for determination.

2. Formulates a campaign targeting the State Government to make appropriate changes to the

Development Assessment Panels to ensure that local communities are better represented, and their views are given greater weight in the decision-making process.

Capping of Pensioner Rebate (Governance & Organisational Services) That WALGA:

3. Advocates for and coordinates the development of a concise, consistent and understandable (industry wide) communication strategy to ensure that all affected pensioners are informed of the significant change to pensioner rate entitlements.

4. Seeks funding from the WA State Government towards the cost of the Local Government industry communicating this important change to the entitlements of pensioner ratepayers.

Refer to Emerging Issues – Item 4.1 of State Council Agenda.


State Trail Bike Strategy (Planning & Community Development) That:

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this statement offinancial activity are:

(a) Basis of AccountingThis statement is a special purpose financial report, prepared in accordance with applicable AustralianAccounting Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements and the Local Government Act 1995 (as amended) and accompanying regulations (as amended).

(b) The Local Government Reporting EntityAll Funds through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have been included in thisstatement.

In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all transactions and balancesbetween those funds (for example, loans and transfers between Funds) have been eliminated.

All monies held in the Trust Fund are excluded from the statement, but a separate statement of thosemonies appears at Note 11.

(c) Rounding Off FiguresAll figures shown in this statement are rounded to the nearest dollar.

(d) Rates, Grants, Donations and Other ContributionsRates, grants, donations and other contributions are recognised as revenues when the local government obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions. Control over assets acquired from rates isobtained at the commencement of the rating period or, where earlier, upon receipt of the rates.

(e) Goods and Services TaxIn accordance with recommended practice, revenues, expenses and assets capitalised are stated netof any GST recoverable. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of applicable GST.

(f) Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits that are readilyconvertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included asshort-term borrowings in current liabilities.

(g) Trade and Other ReceivablesTrade receivables, which generally have 30 - 90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value andsubsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance foruncollectible amounts.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectibleare written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidencethat they will not be collectible.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(h) InventoriesGeneralInventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimatedselling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimatedcosts of necessary to make the sale.

Inventories held from trading are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12 months.

Land Held for ResaleLand purchased for development and/or resale is valued at the lower of the cost and net realisable value.Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development and interest incurred on the financing of that land duringits development. Interest and holding charges incurred after development is complete are recognised asexpenses.

Revenue arising from the sale of property is recognised in the operating statement as at the time of signing a binding contract of sale.

Land held for resale is classified as current except where it is held as non-current based on Council'sintentions to release for sale.

(i) Fixed AssetsAll assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given asconsideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition. For assets acquired at no cost or for nominalconsideration, cost is determined as fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of non-current assetsconstructed by the local government includes the cost of all materials used in the construction, directlabour on the project and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead.

Certain asset classes may be revalued on a regular basis such that the carrying values are not materiallydifferent from fair value. Assets carried at fair value are to be revalued with sufficient regularity to ensurethe carrying amount does not differ materially from that determined using fair value at reporting date.

(j) Depreciation of Non-Current AssetsAll non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their usefullives in a manner which reflects the consumption of the future economic benefits embodied inthose assets.

Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis, using rates which are reviewed each reportingperiod. Major depreciation periods are:

Buildings 30 to 50 yearsFurniture and Equipment 4 to 10 yearsPlant and Equipment 5 to 15 yearsSealed roads and streets formation not depreciated pavement 50 years seal - bituminous seals 20 years - asphalt surfaces 25 yearsGravel roads formation not depreciated pavement 50 years gravel sheet 12 yearsFormed roads (unsealed) formation not depreciated pavement 50 yearsFootpaths - slab 40 yearsSewerage piping 100 yearsWater supply piping & drainage systems 75 years

(k) Trade and Other PayablesTrade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and servicesprovided to the local government prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when theShire becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods andservices. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(l) Employee BenefitsThe provisions for employee benefits relates to amounts expected to be paid for long service leave, annual leave, wages and salaries and are calculated as follows:

(i) Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Short-term Benefits)The provision for employees’ benefits to wages, salaries, annual leave and long service leave expected tobe settled within 12 months represents the amount the Shire has a present obligation to pay resulting from employees services provided to balance date. The provision has been calculated at nominal amounts based on remuneration rates the Shire expects to pay and includes related on-costs.

(ii) Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Long-term Benefits)The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the project unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future paymentsare discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Where theShire does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months, the liability is recognised as a current liability.

(m) Interest-bearing Loans and BorrowingsAll loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received lessdirectly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortisedcost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that areyield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Council has an unconditional right to defersettlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing CostsBorrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except where they are directly attributableto the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Where this is the case, they arecapitalised as part of the cost of the particular asset.

(n) ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when: The council has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result ofpast events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlementis determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one of item included in the same class of obligations may besmall.

(o) Current and Non-Current ClassificationIn the determination of whether an asset or liability is current or non-current, consideration is given to thetime when each asset or liability is expected to be settled. The asset or liability is classified as currentif it is expected to be settled within the next 12 months, being the Council's operational cycle. In thecase of liabilities where Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months,such as vested long service leave, the liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settledwithin the next 12 months. Inventories held for trading are classified as current even if not expected to berealised in the next 12 months except for land held for resale where it is held as non current based onCouncil's intentions to release for sale.

1. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

You are about to enter the Strategic Community Plan for the Shire of Corrigin. This original plan adopted by Council in June 2013 was developed by members of our Community who took part in the consultation process either as part of a Focus Group, as participants in a public meeting, as respondents to surveys, or writers of submissions. More than 15% of our residents took advantage of these opportunities to contribute to the development of this plan. I thank each person for their vision and concern for the future of Corrigin. The Strategic Community Plan encompasses four key focus areas of Economic Development, Developing Leadership, Social Development and Environmental Development. It is built upon plans such as the Corporate Business Plan and Annual Budgets, which are in turn informed by internal plans around asset and workforce management, as well as issue specific strategies. This Plan clearly outlines the Community’s vision for Corrigin for the next 10 years and beyond – and how we plan to get there. It is a “live” document which will continue to develop over the years, with more and more detail amplifying the strategies as they arise. An internal review of the original Plan in May 2016 did not result in any changes to the community’s original goals or aspirations. We will again seek community participation in the next major review due to occur in 2017, when there will be an opportunity for the Corrigin community to advise Council on its future needs, goals and expectations. Together, we will ensure that Corrigin remains a strong and vibrant community, a welcoming home for all who live here, and a supportive environment for all.

Cr Lynette Baker Shire President


2. PREFACE

Corrigin is a rural community located in the heart of the Wheatbelt region, 234 km south-east of Perth in Western Australia. The Shire of Corrigin consists of a main town site: Corrigin, and three smaller localities at Bullaring, Bulyee and Bilbarin which support agricultural areas surrounding the towns.

The Shire encompasses an area of 3,095 square kilometres and is predominantly an agricultural area, producing mainly cereal crops and sheep as its major industries but with a variety of smaller industries including retail, steel fabrication, machinery sales and service.

The most common industries in which people from the Shire of Corrigin work are Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing1, Retail Trade, Health Care and Social Assistance, Transport, Postal and Warehousing and Public Administration and Safety.

The 2011 census reported a Shire population of 1,063 persons, down from 1,146 in 2006. The next 15 years are expected to see the loss of another 100 people from the Shire of Corrigin if current trends persist. The median age of persons in the Shire is 47 years of age, which is higher than the Wheatbelt region, at 41 years of age. The Shire has seen a significant shift in the number of young people in the area since 2001 with those aged 5-14 dropping from 205 to 115 persons by 2011, but still comprising 11 percent of the population. Those aged 65 years and over comprise 21 percent of the population and it is expected that the 2016 Census will show an increase in this percentage. Australian Bureau of Statistics 2013 estimates show that the median population age for Corrigin is 49.3 years compared to the median Australian age of 37.3 years.

The Shire hosts a modern day care facility as well as a District High School catering for students from kindergarten through to secondary schooling. The Shire offers a range of health care services and facilities including a hospital, doctor and full time pharmacy. A range of recreational and leisure activities including, football, cricket, hockey, netball, basketball, tennis, 18 hole golf, lawn bowls, squash, 50m swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, pistol/rifle shooting and darts.

Key areas of interest in our community are:

Gorge Rock

Corrigin Dog Cemetery

Corrigin Walk Trails

Pioneer Museum

RSL and Tank lookout


3. HOW TO USE THE STRATEGIC COMMUNITY PLAN

The Strategic Community Plan is a long term plan that sets out the Council’s vision and strategies to achieve it. It was originally adopted by the Shire of Corrigin Council on 25 June 2013 with a desktop review to ensure that the accuracy of data is maintained and updated. This is part of WA’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework illustrated below:

The framework aims to ensure that:

The community is involved in significant decisions

The organisation is focused on the right priorities

Assets are affordable and support the right services

The Plan can be adapted while maintaining sustainability; and

Other agencies are engaged on how to achieve better outcomes with and for the community.


4. INTRODUCTION

There were three key phases in developing the original Strategic Community Plan.

4.1 Community profiling

Before community engagement could be conducted, extensive research and analysis was carried out to understand where the Corrigin community has been and where it is now. A wide range of information was reviewed to inform the community engagement process. That information has been critical to build a base profile which will be used for on-going monitoring and reporting.

4.2 Community engagement

Most of the community engagement to develop the plan occurred in the Shire in February 2013. The community engagement approach utilised a range of methods including targeted stakeholder discussions with social and community organisations, businesses and Shire staff, a public meeting in the Shire and an online survey.

Feedback and input was sought on the vision for the Shire, the aspirations of the residents, the issues and challenges being experienced across the Shire, the opportunities and priorities for the next ten years, measurements for success and possible partners to the plan.

The input received covered all aspects of community life including social, economic, environment and leadership.

Over the period of community engagement, more than 15 percent of the community across the Shire provided input into the development of the plan.

4.3 Planning

The input received formed the basis of the focus areas for the Strategic Community Plan. The Strategic Community Plan will inform all of the Shire’s operational plans, including the Corporate Business Plan. The Corporate Business Plan is a four year plan, which will outline all of the services and projects the Shire will deliver. These services and projects will support the achievement of the goals and strategies in the Strategic Community Plan.


5. OUR VISION

The Shire of Corrigin comprises a diverse range of people, communities and landscapes. It is imperative that the vision captures the diversity of the area and is inclusive of all as the Shire moves forward. The community’s vision has been developed with a range of input received through the community engagement process. It reflects clear community aspirations for the ten-year period of the Strategic Community Plan.

“Corrigin – strengthening our community now

to grow and prosper into the future.”

The Shire of Corrigin’s Council vision that was in the Strategic Plan 2010-2020 is:

“Corrigin – A vibrant and thriving community.”

The Shire’s vision complements the community’s vision developed for the Strategic Community Plan.


6. KEY FOCUS AREAS

6.1 Focus area one: Economic Development

The community said that the declining population and the pressures on the agricultural sector in the Shire are an impediment to developing a prosperous and self-sustaining economy into the future. The community believed that planning for housing and industry could be improved. There was a view that recruitment and retention activities across employers in the community needed to focus on young people. There was a strong recognition that diversifying business and employment opportunities in the community would strengthen the local economy.

6.3 Focus area three: Social Development

The community said that health services and retention of the hospital were key areas of concern. They expressed a desire to build the local availability of education through the attraction of new, and retention of existing, residents. The retaining and care of elderly local community members was an issue for many residents. The community was concerned that there was widespread apathy and saw a need to increase community participation and volunteerism. The community saw the attraction of young, working families as a key to promoting social development for the Shire. The community recognised a need to act inclusively to encourage a greater diversity of involvement in the development of the community.

6.4 Focus area four: Environmental Development

The community recognised the importance of the agricultural sector as traditionally being the backbone of the Shire. There was a desire to adopt innovative practices to help to sustain the land and broader farming industry. There was some recognition of the value of the range of natural features across Corrigin, particularly walking trails and reserves.

7. IMPLEMENTATION

The Strategic Community Plan 2013 to 2023 is the overarching planning document for the community. The Shire is committed to implementing its part of the Strategic Community Plan, through the development of a four year Corporate Business Plan. The Corporate Business Plan is a set of priorities and actions which directly relate to the goals and strategies in the Strategic Community Plan. The Corporate Business Plan identifies the roles of the Shire and if any additional resources will be required. The Shire’s role in responding to the Strategic Community Plan may be as provider, partner, facilitator or advocate. A series of informing plans underpin the Corporate Business Plan, all of which enable the activation of the Strategic Community Plan.

In responding to the Strategic Community Plan through the Corporate Business Plan, the Shire of Corrigin will consider its resourcing and role in relation to all of the goals and strategies. Not all of the Shire’s actions require additional resources. The Corporate Business Plan provides for ‘business as usual’ for the core services currently delivered by the Shire and includes additional priorities from the Strategic Community Plan.

The key focus area in the Strategic Community Plan which may require additional resourcing from the Shire is economic development associated with the planning and implementation of new activities. Since 2013, Council has continued to make annual financial commitments to support economic development incentives.


8. MEASURING SUCCESS

The Shire will conduct a part review of the ten-year Strategic Community Plan every two years and a full review of the plan every four years. The Shire will monitor the plan to track progress towards achieving the goals and outcomes. Every two years, the Shire will report to the community against the strategies in this plan, providing an update on progress. Progress against the plan will also be reported in the Shire’s Annual Report. The reviews allow the plan to be a living document that continues to reflect the on-going aspirations and priorities of the residents of the Shire of Corrigin. The following Key Performance Indicators provide a broad framework to measure success against the outcomes in the Strategic Community Plan:

APPENDIX A

Community Engagement in Corrigin

Community Engagement in Corrigin

Community engagement is critical in developing the original Strategic Community Plan. A range of methods were used to obtain community feedback for the integrated planning process for the Shire of Corrigin.

Community and Stakeholder Discussions

Face to face meetings were a key vehicle for obtaining community input. Over 100 people attended a series of community engagement meetings in the Shire between 5 and 7 February 2013 as follows:

Community Reference Group

Five focus groups

Public meeting

Two Shire staff meetings

Surveys

A community survey was made available online to seek input for the Strategic Community Plan. Seventy-seven respondents (including Shire staff) completed the community survey.

The Draft Strategic Community plan was made available to the electors and ratepayers of the district and feedback was sought via an online survey. Thirty-four respondents completed the survey with positive results.

APPENDIX B

Related Strategies and Plans

Related Strategies and Plans

The following strategies and plans provide context for the Shire of Corrigin’s Strategic Community Plan.

State Planning Framework

The State Planning Strategy provides the overall vision and will be further articulated and applied by policies and plans dealing with particular planning issues or regions of the State. The State Planning Strategy identifies the five key principles which further define this primary aim and describe the considerations which influence good decision-making in land use planning and development: Environment, Community, Economy, Infrastructure and Regional Development.

Action agenda for regional development

An action agenda for regional development entitled The Regional Development Policy Framework was released by the Regional Development Council in January 2011. The action agenda is structured around six key priority areas: Housing and Services; Employment, Infrastructure and Skills; Health; Education; Social and Environmental Amenity; and Leadership and Decision Making.

Wheatbelt Strategic Framework

A strategic framework for the Wheatbelt region was developed collaboratively by Regional Development Australia Wheatbelt (RDAW) and the Wheatbelt Development Commission (WDC). The principle aim is to ensure that key stakeholder’s in the region have a common strategic framework as a basis for influencing policy direction and implementing initiatives that will contribute to the sustainability of the region.

Wheatbelt Regional Plan 2010-15

Regional Development Australia is a partnership between the Australian, State and Local Governments that aims to develop, strengthen and ensure the long-term sustainability of Australia’s regions. The key role of RDA Wheatbelt is to build strong and effective partnerships between governments, regional development organisations, industry, local businesses, community groups and key regional stakeholders to provide strategic and targeted responses to economic, environmental and social issues affecting the region.

Wheatbelt Land Use Planning Strategy 2011 (draft)

The Regional Land Use Planning Strategy is a guidance document for the Wheatbelt region that aims to guide land use planning decision-making. The strategy plans for people and population in the region, seeks to protect the region’s natural and cultural environment, facilitates economic development across the region, considers settlements and land supply needs. The strategy is part of the State Planning Framework.

Regional Education, Skills and Jobs Plan 2012 to 2014 – Wheatbelt

The Australian Government announced the Regional Education, Skills and Jobs Plans initiative in the 2011–12 Budget, as part of the Building Australia’s Future Workforce package. Each plan reflects community priorities and includes goals and local strategies to achieve the community’s objectives, based on four key themes: early childhood education and care; school education; tertiary education and training; and jobs, skills and workforce development. Wheatbelt Blueprint (2015)

The Wheatbelt Development Commission’ Wheatbelt Blueprint’ forms an essential platform for the Region’s future development and will assist to identify the:

• desired future state of the Wheatbelt region; • Wheatbelt’s potential to grow and prosper in the global village in which we function; • Region’s human, economic, social and environmental capacity, and gaps in that

capacity; and • interventions needed to maximise the existing capacity, minimise the gaps and thus

transform the Region from a ‘business as usual’ approach to achieve aspirational population and economic growth goals.

The Wheatbelt Blueprint articulates a vision for the Region and provides a framework to guide future growth.

Legislation Department of Local Government and Communities

1. Public Health Bill – Implications for health local laws As previously advised, the Department is aware that the Public Health Bill is currently being debated in Parliament. When this Bill is passed, it is likely to have multiple implications for health local laws. If the Shire proceeds with this local law, it is likely to require replacing or amending in the future once the new legislation is implemented. It is suggested that the Shire should contact the Department of Health for more information on how to proceed on this issue and when the Bill is likely to progress through Parliament. 2. Page numbers It is suggested that the local law does not include page numbers in the contents page or throughout the local law. This is because the page numbers may not remain accurate after the local law is published in the Government Gazette. In the event that the Shire chooses to maintain a public version of the local law in hard copy or electronic format, the Shire can choose to retain the page numbers. 3. Enactment clause The date that currently appears in the enactment clause is incorrect. Under section 3.12(4) of the Local Government Act 1995, a local law can only be made after the public submission period has closed.

ATTACHMENT 8.2.2A

The date that should appear in the enactment clause will be a date after the public submission period, when the Council considers the final copy of the proposed local law and resolves to ‘make’ that local law. The Shire should ensure the correct date appears in the final copy of the local law when it is formally made by the Council. A failure to do this may result in the Delegated Legislation Committee requesting an undertaking to amend the local law. Furthermore, in line with best drafting principles, it is suggested that the correct date is expressed in digits rather than words. (e.g. “the Fifteenth day of November 2015” should be written as “15 November 2015”). 4. Clause 1.1 – Citation clause and year It is suggested that the title of the local law should be changed to Health Local Law 2016 to account for the fact the local law will most likely be made and gazetted in 2016. 5. Commencement clause It is suggested that the local law include a commencement clause stating when the local law will come into operation. It should be noted that section 342(3) of Health Act 1991 allows the local law to commence on the day it is gazetted. For example, the standard format is displayed below. X. Commencement clause This local law comes into operation on the date of its publication in the Government Gazette.

modify as recommended. 5. That Council note the submission and


6. Application clause It is suggested that the local law include an application clause. The standard format is as follows: X. Application clause This local law applies throughout the district. 7. References to Australian Standards This local law contains multiple references to Australian Standards. The Shire will need to keep the following general issues in mind:

• Accuracy The Shire should ensure that the definitions for the Australian Standards are accurate and clauses refer to the Standard correctly. If the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation discovers any error in a citation or cross reference, they will request an amendment.

• Currency The Shire should ensure that definitions for the Australian Standards specify which version of the document is being referenced. If the Shire wishes to use the Standard as of a certain date, this date should be specified. If the Shire wishes to use the most current version at all times, the definition should also include the words “as amended from time to time”.

• Public access The Delegated Legislation Committee has expressed concerns with the use of Australian Standards in local laws, as the Standards are protected by copyright and are not public documents.



7. That Council note the submission and modify references to Australian Standards as recommended (where applicable).

The Committee has taken the view that when Standards are used in a local law, the local government should advise the district that the Standards can be freely accessed at the State Library. As an example, the Shire may choose to include this advice on their public website. When the local law is gazetted and provided to the Committee, it is suggested that the Shire should provide evidence of how it has notified the public where the Standards can be accessed. If the Committee believes that insufficient steps have been taken to advise the public, the Committee may require the Shire to take additional steps to convey this information. 8. External documents The Shire should ensure that copies of external documents referred to in the local law (e.g. the Building Code of Australia, Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, etc.,) are included with the local law when it is submitted to the Delegated Legislation Committee. The Committee may inquire as to how the Shire will advise the public of where these documents can be freely accessed. 9. Clause 1.3 – Interpretation It is suggested that the Shire clarifies the meaning of/inserts definitions for the following terms which are used throughout the local law:

a) “adequate ceiling”; b) “animal” (Currently, “animal” is only

defined for the purposes of Division 3 of Part 5.

8. Noted and agreed

9. Noted and agreed in part a) Dismissed – not required b) Dismissed – no required c) Dismissed – not required d) Agreed – clause clarified as

recommended e) Agreed – nuisance defined as

recommended f) Agreed – defined as per Health Act



modify references to ‘interpretations’ as recommended (where applicable).

However, a definition applicable to the entire local law should be inserted);

c) “Certificate of Registration”; d) “manufacturer’s specifications”

(alternatively, clause 2.15(4)(a) could be clarified to mean “the manufacturer’s specifications of the product”);

e) “nuisance” (the definition for nuisance should match the definition given in section 182 of the Health Act 1911. In previous occasions, the Delegated Legislation Committee has objected to an attempt to widen the definition);

f) “offensive matter”; g) “register of keepers”; h) “Town Planning Scheme” (this term is

referred to in clause 9.2).

10. Formatting of clauses a) It is suggested that clause 2.7 be

reformatted as follows: 2.7 Maintenance of sanitary conveniences and fittings

(1) The occupier of premises shall –

a) keep clean, in good condition and repair; and

b) whenever required by an Environmental Health Officer, effectively disinfect and clean,

all sanitary conveniences including sanitary fittings in or on the premises.

1911 definition g) Dismissed – not required h) Agreed – the term has been

changed completely to “local planning scheme” to keep up with current terms, and defined.

10. Noted and agreed



b) Similarly, it is suggested that clause 2.8(4) is also reformatted using the above format (e.g. remove the numbering for paragraph (d) and move the paragraph left to align with the rest of the clause).

11. Clause 4.6 – Restriction of vehicles In relation to clause 4.6(a), it is suggested that the Shire specifies what type of vehicles are approved/not approved and clarifies how the approval is to be obtained. 12. Clause 5.2 – Footpath etc. to be kept clean Clause 5.2 provides that an owner or occupier must “maintain” a footpath. The Delegated Legislation Committee has previously raised issues with this clause. This is because the term “maintain” can imply that the owner is responsible for keeping the footpath in good repair and fixing any damage that occurs. This interpretation would be unreasonable, since maintenance and repair of footpaths are generally a local government responsibility. In past cases, the Committee has requested that “maintain” be replaced with “keep”.

11. Noted and agreed Subclause 4.6(a) changed to read: “A vehicle or container other than a vehicle or container which meets the requirements of clause 4.7 subclauses (1) and (2)” This is so that local government does not have to be involved in an approval process for these vehicles

12. Noted and agreed “maintain” has been replaced with “keep”



13. “Reasonable steps”

a) The local law contains a number of clauses designed to prevent nuisance. This includes clauses 5.2 (Footpaths etc, to be kept clean) and 5.7 (Storage of fertiliser in a house). In some cases, the owner and occupier of premises may not be able to completely control the circumstances that lead to nuisance. These clauses tend to attract the attention of the Delegated Legislation Committee.

In previous cases, the Committee has requested that terms such as “reasonable steps” or reasonable measures” be inserted into such clauses.

The Shire should review the nuisance clauses in the local law and insert these terms where appropriate. For example, clause 5.7 could be amended by inserting “take reasonable steps to –” after the words “The owner or occupier of a house where fertiliser or compost is stored or used shall”

b) Similarly, it is suggested that clauses 6.21(a) and 9.10(a) are also amended. For example, clause 6.21(a) can be amended as follows:

a) take reasonable steps to keep the premises and any person residing




in or on the premises, free from any arthropod vectors of disease; and

14. Clause 5.8 – Slaughter of animals Subclause (1) restricts the slaughter of any animal in the district, unless exempted under Regulation 20 of the Food Regulations 2009. Subclause (2) also exempts veterinarians and other duly authorised people, pet and game meat operations, and abattoirs from subclause (1). Regulation 20 of the Food Regulations 2009, creates an exemption for a ‘primary producer’, however this definition may not include other people who live or work on farming rural properties. Subject to the Shire’s intention, the Shire may consider inserting the following exemption under subclause (2)(c):

a) farming or grazing property occupiers preparing meat for their own consumption.

14. Dismissed.

Regulation 20 of the Food Regulations 2009 sufficiently covers the intent of this clause. Regulation 20 appears below: “20. Application of Division to primary producers (1) In this regulation — primary producer means a person who carries on a farming or grazing business on land that is — (a) zoned for rural purposes under a local planning scheme under the Planning and Development Act 2005; and (b) used solely or principally for farming or grazing purposes or for both of those purposes. (2) This Division does not apply in relation to an animal that is to be slaughtered — (a) by or for a primary producer; and (b) on the land on which the primary producer carries on the farming or grazing business; and

14. That Council note the submission, but do not modify.

15. Tables The local law contains a number of tables. It is suggested that these tables should be placed in separate schedules, so that they do not interfere with the clause structure. Placing the tables in separate schedules will also make these tables easier to amend in the future. 16. Clause 5.16 – Table 3 Required buffer distances for intensive piggeries. It is suggested that the reference to “50m” in the column entitled “Isolated rural dwellings, dairies, industries” be replaced with “1,000m”. In past situations, the Delegated Legislation Committee has requested that the required buffer distances for this category (including in relation to land used to dispose of effectively treated wastes) be increased to 1,000m. 17. Clause 7.7 – Disposal of a body Subject to the intention of the Shire, it is suggested that in subclause (2), “or cemetery” is inserted after “morgue”. 18. Clause 8.11 – Kitchen Clause 8.11(c) currently provides that a keeper of a lodging house shall provide in that lodging

(c) for consumption by the primary producer or the primary producer’s family or employees."

15. Dismissed. The Shire intends to retain the tables for ease of reference and reading of the clauses.

16. Dismissed.

This recommendation is an error by the DLGC officer. The Shire has received advice not to change the table from a senior and long serving officer of the Department of Health

17. Dismissed.

It is the Shire’s intention that all bodies are to be taken from place of death to a morgue only. This practice is lawful.

18. Noted and agreed.

house a kitchen “which may be required by the local government to comply with any of the requirements of Standard 3.2.3 of the Food Standards Code”. This clause is problematic as it is unclear what requirements a keeper would have to comply with and in what circumstances these requirements would apply, and how and when the keeper is to be informed of the requirements applicable to his or her lodging house. For certainty, it is suggested that the Shire replaces paragraph (c) with “that complies with the requirements of Standard 3.2.3 of the Food Standards Code.”. Alternatively, it is suggested that the Shire specifies the requirements that a keeper is to comply with and the circumstances in which the requirements would apply. 19. Significantly different from originally proposed local law The Department is aware that the effect of some of its suggestions may have the potential for the local law to be significantly different than the local law that was originally advertised by the Shire. Where the final local law to be adopted by the Council is significantly different, then the section 3.12 procedure must be restarted in accordance with section 3.13 of the Act. While the Department is not able to advise definitely on this matter (it is considered by the



Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation), the general rule has been it would be prudent to restart the process where any revisions change any obligations under the local law. Amendments relating to grammatical or formatting changes, or changes which remove inconsistencies with Acts or Regulations are unlikely to be considered significantly different. 20. Minor Edits The following minor edits are suggested: a) Titles of Acts, Regulations and other

legislation should be italicised to reflect best drafting principles: o Citation clause Shire of Corrigin Health

Local Law 2015 o Clause 1.3(1):

• In the definition of Act, Health Act 1911.

• In the definition of townsite, Land Administration Act 1997 and Local Government Act 1995.

o Clause 5.8(1) – Food Regulations 2009. b) It is suggested that font remains consistent

throughout the local law, for example: o Clause 2.9(1) – font of “(1)” differs. o Clause 3.7(1) – font of “(1)” differs. o Clause 4.3(2).

c) The local law currently refers to clauses

within the local law as “Section” and “Subsection”. It is suggested that these terms be replaced with the words “clause” and “subclause” respectively.

d) Formatting throughout the local law: • It is suggested that all clauses,

20. Noted and majority agreed. All minor edits have been agreed to except the following: k) clause 2.4, referenced in this edit suggestion, has been completely modified as a result of a recommendation by the Department of Health. dd)The shire does not intend to join subclauses (2) and (3) of Clause 7.2


modify as recommended (where applicable).

subclauses and paragraphs throughout the local law should be consistently formatted (i.e. spacing and indentation). An example is as follows: 1. Clause title

(1) … (a) …

(i) … • For example, clauses 6.17, 7.1, 9.22,

etc., should be consistent with the above example.

e) The Shire should check spacing between clauses, subclauses and paragraphs so that the spacing is consistent throughout the local law.

f) Defined terms should be bold and in italics throughout the local law and quotation marks surrounding the defined term should be deleted: • Clause 1.3(1) all defined terms need to

be put in italics • Clause 2.15(1) a cooking facility • Clause 6.20 arthropod vectors of

disease • Clause 8.1(1) laundry unit; lodging

house • Clause 9.16 specified offensive trade • Clause 9.23 laundromat

g) Clause 1.1 – the citation of the local law

should be in italics. h) Clause 1.2

• The number “(1)” can be removed as the clause has no other subclauses;

• Delete “and”. i) Clause 1.3(1)

• Delete “these Local-Laws” and insert “this Local Law”

• After the definition for AS 1530.2: 1993, delete full stop and insert semicolon;

• After the definition for AS/NZS 1530.3: 1999, delete full stop and insert semicolon;

• After the definition for AS1668.2 – 2002, delete full stop and insert semicolon;

• After the definition for AS 2001.5.4 – 2005, delete full stop and one set of quotation marks and insert a semicolon;

• After the definition for AS/NZS ISO 7171.1: 2004, delete one set of quotation marks and insert a semicolon;

• Insert a semicolon after the Energy Safety WA definition.

j) Clause 2.3: • In the clause title, replace “that”

with “than”. • In subclause (1), after “or permit to

be used or occupied” insert a comma.

k) Clause 2.4 – In subclause (1)(a)-(d), the City should clarify whether the discount applies to the total number of sanitary conveniences or to each separate category of sanitary conveniences.

l) Clause 2.5 – after “requirements” insert “ -”.

m) Clause 2.8: • In subclause (1) replace “Sewage”

with “Sewerage”. • In subclause (1)(b), move “situated

in both the room in which the toilet is located and any adjacent airlock.” to the end of subclause (1)(b)(iii) (so that the text is part of that paragraph).

n) Clause 2.9(1)(a) – after “foul” insert a semicolon.

o) Clause 2.13(2)(a) – replace the designation “a)” with (3) and move the subclause left to align with the other subclauses.

p) Clause 2.15(4)(a) – remove quotation marks around “Manufacturers Specifications”.

q) Clause 2.15 – In subclauses (5) and (6), the term “mechanical extraction” is used. The Shire may wish to replace these references with “mechanical ventilation” to be consistent with other parts of the local law (i.e. clause 3.7 refers to “mechanical ventilation”).

r) Clause 3.1(i) – delete “fit-tings” and replace with “fittings”.

s) Clause 3.2(1) – after “Unless approved by the local government” insert a comma.

t) Clause 3.7(5) – delete “the” and replace with “The”.

u) Clause 3.11:

• In subclause (a) delete “soak” and replace with “soak well”.

• In subclause (a) replace “Executive Director of Public Health” with “Executive Director, Public Health” so that it is consistent with the terminology used in other clauses.

• Move the first line in each of paragraphs (a) and (b) left so that they align with the rest of the paragraph.

v) Clause 3.14 – move the text in the clause right so that the format is consistent with other clauses.

w) Clause 5.1 – replace the full stop after the definition of “fertiliser” with “; and” and insert a full stop after the public vehicle definition.

x) Clause 5.4(2) – replace “there from” with “therefrom”.

y) Clause 5.5: • Delete the comma after “of use”

and insert a comma after “fertiliser”.

with a full stop. aa) Clause 5.9(3):

• Delete the comma after “An owner”. • Delete the comma after “care” and

insert a comma after “private place”. • In subclause (3), insert a full stop at

end of the subclause. bb) Clause 6.7(3) – after “system” delete the

extra full stop.

cc) Clause 7.1(1)(b) – after “notice” insert a comma.

dd) Clause 7.2: • replace “CEO” with “Chief Executive

Officer”. • Subject to the Shire’s intention, it is

suggested that subclauses (2) and (3)

are joined to form a single clause (i.e. replace the full stop at the end of subclause (2) with a comma and change “An” at the beginning of subclause (3) to lowercase letters. Then move the text in subclause (3) up to follow on from the end of subclause (2). The rest of the clause should be renumbered accordingly.

ee) Clause 7.3(3)(i) • Change second “(i)” to “(ii)”. • After “amend it” insert a comma.

ff) Clause 8.1(1) – • In the definition of “Food Standards

Code” replace “Commonwealth Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991” with “Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (Cth)”.

• In the definition of motel, after “motor vehicles” insert a semicolon.

gg) Clause 8.2(d)(ii) – insert a comma after “lodging house”.

hh) Clause 8.3 – replace the paragraph number/designation “(2)” with “(a)” and change the numbering/designations of the other two paragraphs accordingly.

ii) Clause 8.4 – replace “an application” with “an application for registration of a lodging house”.

jj) Clause 8.14 • In subclause (c), after “in good working

order at all times;” delete “and” • In subclause (d), delete the full stop

and insert “; and”. kk) Clause 9.26 – delete “theoccupier” and

replace with “the occupier”.

ll) Clause 9.30 – subclauses “(iii)”, “(iiii)” and “(iiiii)” should be replaced with “(i)”, “(ii)” and “(iii)” respectively.

mm) To ensure consistency throughout the local law, it is suggested that references to “Local government” be replaced with “local government” in the following clauses: • Clause 7.4 – in subclause (a) and (b); • Clause 7.9(1)(b); • Clause 9.2.

nn) It is also suggested that in the Tables that appear in clauses 5.11, 5.14 and 5.16, the top first row should be bolded to highlight the titles of the columns.

The Shire should ensure that all references and cross references are accurate, particularly if any changes are made as a result of the Department’s comments. The Shire should also ensure that the contents page accurately reflects the contents of the local law. Minister’s Directions pursuant to section 3.12(7) of the Local Government Act 1995 Please note: Once the Shire has published a local law in the Government Gazette, the Shire must comply with the requirements of the Minister’s Local Laws Explanatory Memoranda Directions 2010. The Shire must, within 10 working days of the Gazettal publication date, forward the signed Explanatory Memoranda material to the Committee at the current address: Committee Clerk Joint Standing Committee on Delegated

Legislation Legislative Council Committee Office GPO Box A11 PERTH WA 6837 Email: [email protected] Tel: 9222 7404 Fax: 9222 7805 A copy of the Minister’s Directions and Explanatory Memoranda forms can be downloaded from the Department of Local Government and Communities website at www.dlgc.wa.gov.au. Failure to comply with the Directions may render the local law inoperable. Please note that my comments: • have been provided to assist the Shire

with drafting matters in relation to the local law;

• do not constitute legal advice; • have been provided in good faith for the

Shire’s consideration; and • should not be taken as an approval of

content. The Shire should ensure that a detailed editorial analysis of the proposed local law has been undertaken and that the content of the local law is in accordance with the Shire’s policies and objectives.

2 Department of Health 1. The proposed local law will be ‘made’ in 2016, therefore, it would be appropriate to change the title to Shire of Corrigin Health Local Law 2016.

1. Noted and agreed


2. In the preamble, the statement that the Council made the local law on the 17th day of November 2015 is a misstatement. On 17 November 2015, notice was given at the Council meeting of the purpose and effect of the proposed local law in accordance with the requirements of subsection 3.12 (2) of the Local Government Act 1995. The local law will not be made until after the submission period closes on 4 March 2016 [See Subsection 3.12(4)].

3. Section 2.4 is inconsistent with the Guidelines provided by the Department of Health, therefore delete section 2.4 and substitute: “Outdoor Festivals 2.4 (1) The organiser of an outdoor event must provide sanitary conveniences in accordance with the recommendations contained within the Department of Health’s ‘Guidelines for concerts, events and organised gatherings’; and

(2) Where, under subsection


2. That Council note the submission and modify as recommended. 3. That Council note the submission and modify as recommended.

(1), the number of a particular sanitary convenience to be provided is not a whole number, that number shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number.”

4. Section 2.7 is wrongly formatted. In both subsections (1) and (2) there should not be a paragraph (c), but rather a line of the subsection [that consists of the text of the proposed paragraph (c)], that applies to both paragraphs (a) and (b). e.g.:“(1) The occupier of premises shall - (a) keep clean, in good condition and repair; and (b) whenever required by an Environmental Health Officer, effectively disinfect and clean, all sanitary conveniences including sanitary fittings in or on the premises.“

5. Subsection 2.8 (4) has a similar formatting problem. There should not be a paragraph (d). The text within it should align with the first



word of the subsection so that it applies all three of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).

6. The proposed subsection 2.13 (2) does not conform to the provisions of the Health Act (Laundries and Bathrooms) Regulations. To correct this problem, delete subsection 2.13 (2) and substitute the following: “(2) Where in any building, a laundry is situated adjacent to a kitchen or a room where food is stored, prepared, served or consumed, the laundry shall be separated from the kitchen by a wall extending from the floor to the roof or ceiling. (3) Where there is an opening between a laundry and a kitchen or other room where food is stored, prepared, served or consumed, the opening shall - (a) not be more than 1.2 metres wide and; (b) have a door, which when closed shall completely fill the opening.”

6. Noted and agreed


7. The proposed section 2.14 does not conform to the provisions of the Health Act (Laundries and Bathrooms) Regulations. To correct this problem, delete the words and comma “other than in an electric washing machine,” from paragraph (a).

8. In paragraph (a) of section 3.11, the word “well” is missing from after the word “soak”.

9. In subsection 4.3 (1)(a) the word “clause” must be changed to “section” to conform to the format adopted for this proposed local law.

10. Section 8.3 needs to be reformatted. A recommended format for section 8.3 is: “8.3 Application for registration An application for registration of a lodging house shall be- (a) in the form approved by the local government from time to time; (b) duly completed and signed by the

proposed keeper; and (c) accompanied by - (i) the approved fee as fixed from time to time by the local government under section 344C of the Act; and (ii) detailed plans and specifications of the lodging house.”

11. In subsection 8.17 (2) the word “clause” must be changed to “section” to conform to the format adopted for this proposed local law.

12. On the consent page, the

statement that the Council made the local law on the 17th day of November 2015 is a misstatement. On 17 November 2015, notice was given at the Council meeting of the purpose and effect of the proposed local law in accordance with the requirements of subsection 3.12 (2) of the Local Government Act 1995. The local law will not be made until after the submission period closes on 4



March 2016 [See Subsection 3.12(4)].

b) 3.11.a Wells - Freshwater soaks

The intent of clause 3.2 is not to inhibit the use of rainwater, but prevent the erosion and scouring which can occur around the foundations of a house when rainwater is expelled from a downpipe onto an unpaved surface against the foundation, as this can damage the foundation. 5. a) Noted and agreed. Clause 3.10 has been amended to include:

b) at least annually inspect any tank which is used to store water for human consumption;

c) ensure the tank is maintained in a clean and hygienic condition; and

and the requirement to clean a rainwater tank annually has been removed. b) Noted and agreed. As per Department of Health recommendation 8 and Department of Local Government and Communities recommendation 20(u), “soak” has been

8. PART 5 NUISANCES & GENERAL

a) 5.6 Storage and Use of Fertiliser - extend to on-farm as well. ADD 5.6.a.iv building

changed to “soak well”. 6. Dismissed State Law (Health Act 1911 Section 133) enables local government to make local laws for licensing of morgues. 7. a) Dismissed. One of the intentions of Part 4 is to regulate large amounts of liquid refuse contaminating stormwater catchment which may affect the environment or stormwater reuse. Therefore the definition must be broad. b)Dismissed. Liquid waste must be disposed of through a receptacle for drainage in order to comply with other legislation such as the Health (Treatment of Sewage and Disposal of Effluent and Liquid Waste) Regulations 1974. Therefore the definition must take this into account. 8. a) Dismissed. Clause 5.6 refers to the storage of bulk quantities of fertiliser for sale. Farmers would not be affected by this clause and

b) 5.7 Storage of Fertiliser in a house 5.7.1 ADD garden fertilizers and pesticides to be stored outside dwellings in a childproof cupboard or container. 9. THIS ITEM DISAPPEARED from 2015 version 5.8 Vehicles Transporting Animals and Birds NOT PERMITTED TO PARK in town ???? ADD parking in Connelly St What about TRAILERS carrying a few sheep/goats/pigs/birds to local shows ? to abattoirs ? Small trailers stopping to get fuel or shop or medication - west of roadhouse, is shady ?

therefore don’t need to be referenced in this clause. It is not the intent of clause 5.6 to regulate quantities of fertilisers on a farming property prior to its use on the farming land. b)Dismissed. The definition of a house under the Health Act 1911 and for the purposes of this local law is: any building or structure, whether temporary or otherwise. And the Health Act definition goes on to give examples. Due to the extensive nature of the definition, it would include housing of fertilisers outside of a dwelling. For example garden sheds or temporary structures. 9. Dismissed Confusion with the proposed Shire of Corrigin Animals, Environment and Nuisance Local Law 2016. Clause 5.8 of this local law regulates the slaughter of animals.

9. That Council dismiss the submission.

10. a) Dismissed. Primary Producers are defined under Regulation 20 of the Food Regulations 2009 which is referenced in Clause 5.8. b) Dismissed. It is not the intent of clause 5.8 to encourage the euthanasia of suffering animals by the general public, as it could expose a risk to public health. c) Dismissed. It is the intent of clause 5.9 to encourage the burial of dead animals in an appropriate disposal site for the protection of health and amenity. 11. a) Dismissed. The intent of Part 5 Division 3 is to address feedlotting on a broad scale with some distance from townsites. Rural residential animal rearing is addressed in the proposed Shire of Corrigin Animals, Environment and Nuisance Local Law 2016. b) Dismissed. To ensure compliance with other guidelines and legislation it is advised against to make changes to buffer distance stipulations.

What is the approved manner for disposal of the sealed, impervious containers ? 13. 7.10 Disposal of used needles - no provision for dwellings or commercial premises THIS IS A REAL HEALTH HAZARD and could endanger anyone handling/recyling refuse at the tip

c) Dismissed. The situation referred to in the comment is more open range type grazing, this is not considered feedlotting. d) Dismissed. Paragraph 5.12(c) is in line with other legislation and guidelines. Also saline groundwater can still be useful if not contaminated. 12. Dismissed. For the purposes of Clause 7.9, a lined bin with a lid would be suitable for the disposal of used condoms, as a sealed, impervious container. 13. Noted It is noted that Clause 7.10 sufficiently addresses the comment.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report is a site assessment report for Lots 5101, 9405 and 7582 Bulyee Quairading Road, Corrigin. The subject land is shown in Figure 1 (over page) and has a combined area of 170 hectares. Parts of the subject land are designated as being bushfire prone on the State Bushfire Prone Map shown in Figure 2. It is proposed to re-align the property boundaries as shown in Figure 3. This will create a “homestead” lot of 2.6 hectares and a rural lot of 167.4 hectares. The Planning Commission’s Form 1A “Subdivision Application” requires that on bushfire prone land that the application is to be accompanied by a BAL Assessment or BAL Contour Map. A BAL (Bushfire Attack Level Assessment) is an assessment of the existing conditions on the site done in accordance with Australian Standard AS3959 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas. A BAL Contour Map is a map showing indicative BAL ratings for the final development and is usually associated with a subdivision application. The AS3959 contains six Bushfire Attack Levels (BAL) categories as follows:

BAL Low The risk is considered to be very low and does not warrant any specific construction requirements.

BAL 12.5 The risk is considered to be low but there is still a risk of ember attack.

BAL 19 The risk is considered to be moderate. There is risk of ember attack and burning debris by wind borne embers and a likelihood of exposure to radiant heat.

BAL 29 The risk is considered to be high. There is an increased risk of ember attack and burning debris by wind borne embers and a likelihood of exposure to an increased level of radiant heat.

BAL 40 The risk is considered to be very high.

BAL FZ The risk is considered to be extreme. For each BAL rating the Standard prescribes building construction requirements. The BAL ratings are a function of the type of vegetation, the slope and the separation distance to the development site. State Planning Policy SPP3.7 Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas provides the foundation for land use planning to address bushfire risk management in Western Australia. It contains objectives and policy measures, as well as reference to the bushfire protection criteria contained in the associated Guidelines. A key principle objective of SPP3.7 Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas is to ensure that development in bushfire prone areas has a maximum BAL – 29 rating. SPP3.7 (Section 6.2) states that the Policy provisions only apply to land within designated bushfire prone areas;

• That has or will have a Bushfire Hazard Level (BHL) above low; and/or

• Where a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating above BAL-LOW applies.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS

The subject is cleared open farming land used for grazing and cropping. The is an existing (unoccupied) dwelling on the eastern portion of Lot 5101 with associated outbuildings on Lot 9405. The dwelling is setback approximately 980m from the Bulyee Quairading Road. The Bulyee Quairading Road is a formed rural gravel road with a surface approximately 6m wide. There is an area of remnant vegetation around the dwelling and outbuildings with a second area of revegetation further to the east along a drainage line. Vegetation along the Bulyee Quairading Road is sporadic. It has not been included in the State as it has areas of less than one hectare. The subject land has gentle to low gradients with a slight rise towards the Bulyee Quairading Road. The area around the homestead is flat.

3.0 SITE ASSESSMENTS

3.1 Existing Dwelling

A Bushfire Attack Level Assessment has been conducted for the existing dwelling and this is contained in Appendix 1. The vegetation around the existing dwelling has been classified as being bushfire prone because it is more than 1 hectare in size. This vegetation is a mixture of eucalypts to a height of 11 metres and smaller acacias. There are introduced tress planted around the dwelling. Further to the east the re-vegetation area is approximately 50m distance, at its closest point from the vegetation around the existing dwelling. The existing dwelling is classified as having a BAL – 12.5 which is the lowest Bushfire Attack Level category. This extends from 29 – 100m from the classified vegetation. It is noted that the AS3959 construction standards do not apply retrospectively to an existing dwelling.

3.2 Potential Dwelling Site

A new dwelling could be constructed in a variety of locations on proposed Lot A, however it would be expected that this is more likely to be located closer to the Bulyee Quairading Road than the existing dwelling. Appendix 2 of the Guidelines for Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas contains the methodology for a bushfire hazard level assessment. Table 3 sets out the hazard levels and characteristics. The “low bushfire hazard” classification specifically includes pasture or cropping areas with very limited standing vegetation that is shrubland, woodland or forest with an effective up slope, on flat land or an effective down slope of less than 10 degrees, for a distance greater than 100 metres. Consequently, SPP3.7 does not apply to any dwelling on proposed Lot A.



To further reinforce this, a BAL Contour Map is included in Appendix 2 for an indicative house site.

4.0 CONCLUSION

While a small portion of the subject land is classified as being bushfire prone, this is restricted to the area around the existing dwelling. Any new dwelling located on the subject land can easily be located to achieve a BAL – Low which does not require any special construction provisions as stipulated in AS3959. Consequently, the proposed boundary re-alignment is consistent with the objectives of SPP3.7 Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas and in particular:

• It will not result in any increase in the threat of bushfire to people, property and infrastructure; and

• Reduces vulnerability to bushfire through the identification and consideration of bushfire risks in decision-making at all stages of the planning and development process.

Appendix 1: – Additional Information / Advisory Notes / Justifications Related to Assessment

BUSHFIRE ATTACK LEVEL ASSESSMENT EXPLAINED

A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Assessment is a means of measuring the severity of a buildings potential exposure

ember attack, radiant heat and direct flame contact in a bushfire event, and thereby determining the construction

measures required for the dwelling.

The methodology used for the determination of the BAL rating and the subsequent building construction standards,

are directly referenced from Australian Standard AS3959 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas.

The BAL rating is determined through the identification and assessment of the following parameters:

Fire Danger Index (FDI) rating; assumed to be FDI – 80 for Western Australia;

All classified vegetation within 100m of the subject building;

Separation distance between the building and the classified vegetation source/s; and

Slope of the land under the classified vegetation.

AS3959:2009 has six (6) levels of BAL, based on the radiant heat flux exposure to the building, and also identifies

the relevant sections for building construction as detailed below.

3 & 8

BAL-FZ > 40kW/m2 Direct exposure to flames from fire front in addition

to heat flux and ember attack. 3 & 9

It is noted that AS3959 (page 7) acknowledges that the measures contained in the Standard cannot

guarantee that a building will survive a bushfire event on every occasion. This is substantially due to the

degree of vegetation management, the unpredictable nature and behaviour of fire and extreme weather

conditions.

SCHEDULE OF SUBMISSIONS – SHIRE OF CORRIGIN ANIMALS, ENVIRONMENT AND NUISANCE LOCAL LAW 2016

No. Submitter Submission Shire Response Shire Recommendation 1 Local Government

Legislation Department of Local Government and Communities

1. Page numbers It is suggested that the local law does not include page numbers in the contents page or throughout the local law. This is because the page numbers may not remain accurate after the local law is published in the Government Gazette. In the event that the Shire chooses to maintain a public version of the local law in hard copy or electronic format, the Shire can choose to retain the page numbers. 2. Enactment clause The date that currently appears in the enactment clause is incorrect. Under section 3.12(4) of the Local Government Act 1995, a local law can only be made after the public submission period has closed. The date that should appear in the enactment clause will be a date after the public submission period, when the Council considers the final copy of the proposed local law and resolves to ‘make’ that local law. The Shire should ensure the correct date appears in the final copy of the local law when it is formally made by the Council.

ATTACHMENT 8.2.5A

A failure to do this may result in the Delegated Legislation Committee requesting an undertaking to amend the local law. Furthermore, in line with best drafting principles, it is suggested that the correct date is expressed in digits rather than words. (e.g. “the Fifteenth day of November 2015” should be written as “15 November 2015”). 3. Clause 1.1 – Citation clause and year It is suggested that the title of the local law should be changed to Shire of Corrigin Animals, Environment and Nuisance Local Law 2016 to account for the fact the local law will most likely be made and gazetted in 2016. 4. References to external documents The local law refers to several external documents, including the Building Code of Australia and the Code of Practice for Pigeon Keeping. The Shire should ensure that copies of these documents are included with the local law when it is submitted to the Delegated Legislation Committee. It is also advisable for the Shire to maintain information on where these documents can be freely accessed by the public.

5. Clause 1.4 – Interpretation It is suggested that the Shire includes a definition for the following terms which are used in the local law:

• “industrial zoned lots”; • “rural”; • “special rural area”; • “rural residential zoned”.

6. Variation of conditions Clause 2.6 and 2.8 provide that a person can apply to the local government for a variation in conditions for keeping birds. It is suggested that these clauses should provide:

• What kind of notice must be given by the local government; and

• What date a change in condition will be effective.

7. Clause 2.4 – Cat numbers Clause 2.4 provides for the management of cat numbers on premises. While local governments are permitted to set maximum numbers of cats on premises, the Cat (Uniform Local Provisions) Regulations 2013 states that members of cat

5. Noted and agreed in part: • Industrial zone - has now been

defined • Rural – has been changed to

rural and rural residential zoned in Clause 2.31(2), so no need to define rural

• Special rural area – has been deleted so no need to define

• Rural residential zone – has now been defined

6. Noted and dismissed.

In the interests of keeping the local law simple, it seems unnecessary for Clauses 2.6 and 2.8 to be changed. 7. Noted and agreed. “…they may keep a maximum of 9 cats” has been added to the Clause 2.4 subclause (6) to clarify.

5. That Council note the submission and modify references to ‘interpretations’ as recommended (where applicable).


do not modify.


organisations are allowed to keep three times as many cats as may be ordinarily permitted under a local law. If subclause (6) is read in isolation, readers may interpret it to mean that cat organisations can keep as many cats as they wish. To avoid misunderstandings, it is suggested that Clause 2.4 should mention the limit imposed on cat organisations by the Regulations. 8. Clause 3.8 – Storage of vehicles, vessels and machinery Subclause (1)(c) provides that a person must not store or allow to remain in public view any vehicle or vessel on a lot. As this clause is currently written, anyone who parks a car, caravan or boat on any premises may commit an offence if the vehicle is capable of being viewed by the public. Depending on how the clause is read, the mere act of storing the vehicle or vessel on the lot may qualify as an offence. The Shire should review this clause to ensure that it only applies in circumstances contemplated by the Shire. 9. Minor Edits

a) Formatting throughout the local law:

8. Noted and agreed The words “in a state of disrepair” have been added to Clause 3.8 subclause (1)(c) clarify the circumstances to which the subclause applies to.

9. Noted and agreed

All minor edits suggested have been modified in the local law.

8. That Council note the Submission and



o It is suggested that clauses, subclauses and paragraphs throughout the local law should be indented as follows:

1. Clause title (1) …

(a) … (i) …

b) The Shire should ensure that spacing is consistent throughout the local law.

c) The Shire should ensure that the format of Division headings (and other headings) is consistent throughout the local law.

d) Clause 1.4(1) o Delete the extra semicolon at

the end of the definition of cattery.

o In the definition of Code of Practice – Pigeon Keeping, replace “Loacl” with “Local”.

o In the definition for beekeeper, replace “Biosecurity and Agriculture Regulations 2013” with “Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Regulations 2013”.

o Insert a semicolon after the definition of beekeeper.

o In the definition of food, replace the comma at the end

of the definition with a semicolon.

o In the definition of local planning scheme, move “Act 2005;” to sit with the paragraph.

o In the definition of owner, replace “Local Government Act 1995” with “Act”.

o Item 33 to 36 – replace references to “3.9” with “3.8”.

o Item 37 – replace “3.10” with “3.9”.

The Shire should check to ensure that all modified penalties required by the Shire are included in the Schedule. If a modified penalty is not provided for an offence, this will limit the Shire’s options in how it deals with the offence. The Shire should also ensure that all references and cross references are accurate, particularly if any changes are made as a result of these comments.

Minister’s Directions pursuant to section 3.12(7) of the Local Government Act 1995 Please note: Once the Shire has published a local law in the Government Gazette, the Shire must comply with the requirements of the Minister’s Local Laws Explanatory Memoranda Directions 2010. The Shire must, within 10 working days of the Gazettal publication date, forward the signed Explanatory Memoranda material to the Committee at the current address: Committee Clerk Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation Legislative Council Committee Office GPO Box A11 PERTH WA 6837 Email: [email protected] Tel: 9222 7404 Fax: 9222 7805 A copy of the Minister’s Directions and Explanatory Memoranda forms can be downloaded from the Department of Local Government and Communities website at www.dlgc.wa.gov.au. Failure to comply with the Directions may render the local law inoperable. Please note that my comments:



mailto:[email protected]

http://www.dlgc.wa.gov.au/

• have been provided to assist the Shire with drafting matters in relation to the local law;

• do not constitute legal advice; • have been provided in good faith for

the Shire’s consideration; and • should not be taken as an approval of

content.

The Shire should ensure that a detailed editorial analysis of the proposed local law has been undertaken and that the content of the local law is in accordance with the Shire’s policies and objectives.

2. Department of Health 1. The proposed local law will be

‘made’ in 2016, therefore, it would be appropriate to change the title to Shire of Corrigin Animals, Environment and Nuisance Local Law 2016.

2. The preamble of a local law made solely under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1995 should refer to “Subdivision 1 of Division 2 of PART 3 of the Local Government Act 1995”. This proposed local law has a preamble that only refers to “Subdivision 2 – Local Laws made under any Act”. As this local law is proposed to be made under both the Local Government Act 1995 and the Health Act 1911, it must



refer to both Subdivision 1 and Subdivision 2. The reference to Subdivision 1 is important as the majority of the provisions of this local law take their head of power from the Local Government Act 1995. This error can be corrected by amending the preamble as follows: “In the first line of the preamble, delete “subdivision 2” and substitute “subdivisions 1 and 2”.

3. In the preamble, the statement that the Council made the local law on the 17th day of November 2015 is a misstatement. On 17 November 2015, notice was given at the Council meeting of the purpose and effect of the proposed local law in accordance with the requirements of subsection 3.12 (2) of the Local Government Act 1995. The local law will not be made until after the submission period closes on 4 March 2016 [See Subsection 3.12(4)].

4. In subclause 1.4 (1), in the definition of ‘EHO’ there is an error. EHOs are appointed under the Health Act 1911.



This local law has already defined “Act” to mean the Local Government Act 1995. Therefore, in the definition of ‘EHO’ delete the word “Act” and substitute “Health Act 1911 “.

5. In subclause 2.1, there is a

definition of ‘manure bin’. “Manure bin” is not a term used in Part 2 of the local law. Only “manure receptacle”, which is already defined in subclause 1.4 (1), is used in Part 2. Therefore, delete the superfluous definition of ‘manure bin’ from subclause 2.1.

6. In subclause 2.11, the term “whichare” should be separated into the two words “which are”.

7. On the consent page, the statement that the Council made the local law on the 17th day of November 2015 is a misstatement. On 17 November 2015, notice was given at the Council meeting of the purpose and effect of the proposed local law in accordance with the requirements of subsection 3.12 (2) of the Local Government Act 1995.

5. Noted and agreed. 6. Noted and agreed. 7. Noted and agreed.

5. That Council note the submission and modify as recommended. 6. That Council note the submission and modify as recommended. 7. That Council note the submission and modify as recommended.

The local law will not be made until after the submission period closes on 4 March 2016 [See Subsection 3.12(4)].

3. Robin Campbell CORRIGIN LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAWS

2015 ANIMALS, ENVIRONMENT & NUISANCE Subsidiary laws to be approved by DLG and in accordance with State & Federal Laws 1. Ratepayers response, to whom I have

broached the subject of these proposed laws, is of disbelief and no interest as they are going to continue doing what they always did. Arbitrary fines will not improve the health of anyone. The fines are higher than those for speeding which I consider far more lethal than a rusty gutter. We need to look for new ways to include and assist "offenders" Many people use old machinery and parts as artistic decoration to their gardens or entry gates. Who is the arbiter of "approved" ? HYDEN's amazing history of farming sculpture garden and Kulin's Tin Horse Highway could be designated as "refuse" by Corrigin Where does the Shire stand under law if an offender argues that as no-one has been fined in 100 years for a particlar law why are you targeting me?

1. Noted and taken as a comment.


2. PART 1 PRELIMINARY 1.3 Laws apply THROUGHOUT the shire - if not denoted then it applies to all properties.

3. 1.4 Refuse definitions - many farms

have old machinery and parts around shed yards which often add to the character and displays its history These can be used as artistic decorations to their gardens or entry gates.

4. 1.4 Disused thing - broken down

machinery or vehicles may have to wait more than the designated month during seeding and harvest to be repaired or people may not have the funds to pay for the repairs immediately, sometimes parts take ages to acquire.

5. PART 2 KEEPING OF ANIMALS NO

DOG LAWS! OK now I am advised as for State Law

2. Noted and taken as a comment. The local law is does apply to the whole district however it explains particular areas which relate to specific clauses, or which areas are exempt to specific clause. E.g. townsite; rural residential zone etc 3. Noted and dismissed. Due to the agricultural area and farming history of the Shire, authorised officers would use discretion when determining whether a derelict house or an old piece of machinery are historical and fit with the amenity of the area, or discarded waste which spoils the amenity of the area in which it is located. 4. Noted and dismissed. Authorised officers enforcing the local law can use discretion when determining whether something is disused or is still useful and the intent is to repair – particularly in the rural zone. 5. Noted as a comment. Correct, the Shire of Corrigin uses the Dog Act 1976 for the control of dogs, and does not have local laws for dogs.

2. That Council note the submission. 3. That Council note the submission, but do not modify. 4. That Council note the submission, but do not modify. 5. That Council note the submission.

6. 2.3.2 OK clarified: paving only for permanent enclosures. Does not apply to sheep yards.

7. 2.6.1b OK clarified Poultry must be

enclosed so that they cannot walk about on the street.

8. 2.6.1d 1f Needs clarifying to mean

over-night roosting area Impervious floor & confinement - this is cruelty to animals - most states are moving to required free-range daily for egg production, why are we closing in?

9. 2.7 Roosters, Geese, etc Why not

rural residential as well with written approval of adjoining neighbours as well as LG?

6. Noted as a comment. Animal enclosures may be requested by an EHO to be paved only under certain circumstances. Temporary enclosures like sheep yards would not be appropriate to be paved. 7. Noted as a comment. The intent of sublause 2.6(b) is to prevent chickens being kept in a front yard and able to access the street. 8. Noted and dismissed. The authorised officer would use their discretion here, as this subclause relates to the keeping of poultry in a confined area, whether they be none free range or if they has a confined area where they roost overnight. It has to do with the accumulation of manure and health nuisance. 9. Noted and dismissed. The reason for the clause is to reduce noise nuisance in the townsite. A rooster will still disturb a neighbouring property in the rural residential zone of Corrigin.

6. That Council note the submission. 7. That Council note the submission. 8. That Council note the submission, but do not modify. 9. That Council note the submission, but do not modify.

10. 2.12 BEES 500 m or 50m? Height restriction not distance required. Hives in towns or in farmyards need to be on a roof so that their flight path does not intersect with people, children and vehicles

11. 2.24 Keeping of Farm Animals Many animals can be produced in feed

lots, with access to free-ranging which could increase self-sufficiency on rural-residential. Can provisions for this be included ? Why not a pig on rural residential ? They can even be taught to use "toilet areas"

12. PART 3 BUILDING,

DEVELOPMENT & LANDCARE LANDCARE does not even get a mention, despite this shire having one of the lowest percentages of natural vegetation remaining and hundreds of hectares turning to unproductive saltland every year. This confirms my view that this is a money raising exercise rather than improving health and environment.

13.DUST & LIQUID WASTE

3.4. DOES THIS APPLY TO FARMS ? If yes - Why have these laws ?

10. Noted and dismissed. 500m is the buffer distance from a townsite at which bees can be kept without a permit. Bees to be kept in town require a permit to keep. 11. Noted and dismissed. A “feedlot” is not something that could be approved on rural residential land by the Shire’s planning officer. There are health issues associated with the keeping of pigs, and this must be discouraged in a domestic setting. 12. Noted and taken as a comment. 13. Noted and agreed. It is does place a burden on farmers however it is good farming practice to prevent emissions from causing a nuisance

10. That Council note the submission, but do not modify. 11. That Council note the submission, but do not modify. 12. That Council note the submission. 13. That Council note the submission and consider the changes to Clause 3.4 as recommended.

How can a farmer possibly comply with DUST 3.4 (1)a.c (2) (i) (ii) (iii) (3) (4) Stubble burning causes ash and smoke to blow across the town. Overgrazed paddocks and seeding cause dust to blow across the town. Decades of alternitive solutions have had little impact

14. 3.5 Dust management no time limits

or quantities designated why can't the neighbour ask for dust to be water-sprayed if it is annoying them, spoiling the washing or affecting their asthma?

to neighbouring land/farming residence and the townsite. It is suggested that the clause be modified to: 3.4 Prohibited activities (1) An owner and or occupier of land must take all reasonable measures to — (a) stabilise dust on the land; (b) contain all liquid waste on the land; and (c) ensure no dust or liquid waste is released or escapes from the land, whether by means of wind, water or any other cause. (2) Subclause (1)(c) does not apply to land where the primary activity is broad acre farming 14. Noted and dismissed. Clause 3.5 applies to land clearing which is subject to a dust management plan. The plan would place conditions such as limits of windspeed appropriate for the clearing, watering down regime, dust suppression practices etc.


15. 3.6-7-8 Unsightly land and disused materials ADD CLAUSE or EXEMPT - historical or artistic displays Hyden and Kulin have magnificent disused material structures. These laws are all totally subjective and can be misused - there is a predominant choice of bare ground in Corrigin - wildflowers around family graves were/are removed at great distress to the families. Time limits for repair are too short.

16. PART 4 NUISANCES &

DANGEROUS THINGS

4.5 BURNING: SMOKE FUMES, ODOURS & EMISSIONS

a) How does this apply to windrow and whole of paddock stubble burning?

b) Require weather checks especially if inversions are expected as smoke stays low all night

c) No sub-clauses for farmers burning stubble

d) No sub-clauses for some pesticides which have strong odours and are highly volatile

e) Manufacturers directions not to spray in winds are disregarded by a few

f) What are the figures for CO2 emissions?

15. Noted and dismissed. Authorised officers will use discretion when enforcing the local law, in determining whether or not materials meet the intent of the local law as untidy, overgrown or unsightly, as opposed to historical and locally approved artwork. 16. Noted and agreed in part. (a) – (e) are comments in relation to smoke and emissions have been considered and it is recommended that Clause 4.5 be modified to: 4.5 Escape of smoke, fumes, odours and

other emissions An owner or occupier of land or premises shall not cause or allow the escape of smoke, fumes or odours from the land or premises in such quantity or of such a nature as to cause or to be a nuisance to any person, unless – (a) the escape of smoke, fumes, odours or

other emissions from the land or premises is the result of burning in compliance with the Bush Fires Act

15. That Council note the submission, but do not modify. 16. That Council note the submission, and modify as recommended (where applicable).

Coal power stations are paid to reduce emissions

g) Why not pay farmers if they choose other weed control methods ?

17. 4.6 LIVESTOCK TRUCKS Allow livestock trucks to park in

Connelly St so they can have a meal, attend to business matters, rest for an hour NOT JUST 30 minutes, shade is available for animals there

18. 4.12 ADVERTISING add - notices may only be placed in

external shop notice-boards with the approval of the owner

19. PARTS 5-6 OBJECTIONS, APPEALS &

ENFORCEMENT 5.1 Division 1 - part 9 of ?ACT and ? Regulation 33 This cannot be passed unless all councillors are aware of the Act & Regulation ramifications

1954, any annual fire hazard reduction notice issued by the local government under that Act and any conditions of approval as determined by the local government and;

(b) all reasonable steps have been taken to prevent the smoke, fumes, odours and other emissions from land or premises from causing a nuisance to any person.

Points (f) – (g) are taken as comments. 17. Noted and dismissed. There is parking available on across from the roadhouse so that drivers can purchase food etc. There are parking bays out of town where drivers may rest. 18. Noted and dismissed. This action is not prohibited under the local law as long as the owner of the shop window has authorised the advert. 19. Noted and dismissed The “Act” the Local Government Act 1995.

17. That Council note the submission, but do not modify. 18. That Council note the submission, but do not modify. 19. That Council note the submission, but do not modify.

20. 6.5 INFRINGES our rights to law & appeal: the written notice implies that the alleged offender is guilty and that he/she must comply. ADD A PROVISION for discussion with CEO or authorized person.

20. Noted and dismissed The infringements are like any other. An authorised officer would use discretion and not normally infringe unless a warning has been given. It is the intent that there will be open discussion with the authorised person prior to an infringement being written.


4. Ruth Owen Ruth Owen 26 Lynch Street CORRIGIN WA 6375 March 1, 2016 Mr Rob Paull CEO Corrigin Shire, Shire office, Lynch Street Corrigin W.A. 6375 Dear Mr. Rob Paull, I am writing regarding the new Animals, Environment and Nuisance Local Law 2015 and wish to submit my objections. The new laws are already covered in the existing laws only the new laws contain much larger fines. The severity of the fines could lead to ratepayers losing their homes to repay fines for ambiguous laws and situations that they want to change but cannot afford. They may require help not legislated laws with hefty fines.

1. Noted and taken as a comment. The Local Laws are for protecting the health and environment of the community and are not intended to be viewed as a burden on everyday community members. Page 32 Item 2.47 - unable to find this reference Page 25 Item 32 3.8(b) has been completed Incorrect date and page numbers have been updated.


Ratepayers object to their properties being entered for inspection by the local council representatives without prior discussion about the particular issue and they also resent the power their neighbours and others hold over them with respect to complaints. In order to stand up for their right to privacy and resentment against these new laws a sign has been compiled and can be purchased locally to be mounted on their front fence or gate. STOP NOTICE SIGN The image of a friendly little town with a Shire that is supportive of its residents will be destroyed and tourists will be left with a negative view of the town, its safety and its cohesion. The errors in the new laws; Page 32 item 2.47 not complete Page 25 Item 32 3.8 (b) not complete Incorrect date and page number Regards Ruth Owen

Dear Name/Sir/Madam

Wheatbelt Freight Plan

In late 2014 Wheatbelt South Regional Road Group (WBS RRG) requested WALGA to facilitate a workshop to discuss and identify ways to address a number of cross-Shire border RAV access issues with the aim of creating a clearer continuous freight network in the Wheatbelt. The workshop in the South was replicated by a similar workshop for Wheatbelt North Regional Road Group (WBN RRG). These workshops were also attended by managers from Main Roads Wheatbelt Region and Heavy Vehicle Services. At these workshops sub-groups marked up maps indicating issues with the current freight network and identifying aspirational freight routes for the future. WALGA compiled the data gathered at these workshops and it was passed onto Main Roads Wheatbelt in February 2016. WALGA, Heavy Vehicle Services and Main Roads Wheatbelt have been discussing what actions need to be taken to clarify and rationalise the freight network in the Wheatbelt and discussions have been held with both the Department of Transport and Wheatbelt Development Commission. It has been agreed to proceed with three workstreams; Workstream 1 – RAV assessment backlog

The Main Roads Wheatbelt structure has sufficient officers trained in RAV assessments to assist HVS in dealing with new enquiries, but there is a significant backlog of RAV assessments that needs to be addressed. HVS has worked with WALGA to streamline the RAV assessment process and produced new guidelines. HVS is also seeking to secure additional resources to clear the backlog of RAV assessments. Workstream 2 – The Final Mile Wheatbelt farmers are likely to continue to utilise larger truck configurations in the future to take produce from paddock to grain bin or port or abattoir. Given that not all Local Government roads are on the RAV network a mechanism by which farmers can legally transport produce from paddock to the approved RAV network needs to be determined. HVS will work with WALGA to identify options for the last mile access. Workstream 3 – Produce a Plan for a Secondary Road Freight Network in the Wheatbelt When the RAV system was created individual Shires took different approaches to which roads/routes should be on each RAV network. This has resulted in discontinuous RAV routes across Shire boundaries and a complex RAV network for freight companies to negotiate. Given that Workstream 2 will identify a way to enable produce to be brought to the RAV network it is necessary for Local Governments to identify and agree on which Local Government roads should be the main collector roads to bring freight traffic to the Main Roads Network and what RAV rating those collector roads should be. These collector roads would be open for use by all suitable RAV vehicles without permit with Workstream 2 providing the method by which RAV vehicles could get from paddock to the collector road. These identified and agreed collector roads can then form an aspirational secondary road freight network and if all 43 Wheatbelt Local Governments endorse the plan funding will be sought to identify and design improvements to attain the relevant RAV rating for the route and then construct the improvements. This plan can be shared to enable industry to base investment decisions on the Wheatbelt freight network. This approach would attract all freight traffic onto a finite number of Local Government roads enabling the relevant Shire to focus investment and maintenance effort of these routes and dramatically reduce the maintenance necessary on other routes. Workstreams 1 and 2 are being taken forward by HVS and WALGA. Workstream 3 has been progressed with Main Roads Wheatbelt reviewing the feedback from all eight sub-groups at the workshops and producing maps showing what each sub-group proposed. Main Roads Wheatbelt has also created an overall Wheatbelt map showing the output from the workshops and a spreadsheet commenting on the proposals from each sub-group. This assessment has identified some clashes between sub-groups and Main Roads Wheatbelt has identified these in the comments.

In order to progress Workstream 3 we now need Shires to confirm which routes in each sub-group are to be regarded as Collector roads/routes and to address any of the clashes identified in the Main Roads comments. To this end Lyn Baker and Ricky Storer have been asked to coordinate Local Government feedback. Main Roads Wheatbelt will then represent the Shires’ wishes on an overall Wheatbelt plan for endorsement by all Local Governments. To provide guidance on identification of the proposed collector roads;

Each route must connect to the Main Roads network,

Each Sub-Group must identify no more than 10 collector routes,

Parallel collector routes must be at least 20km apart In order to enable Main Roads Wheatbelt to compile and submit a business case in September / October to seek funding to develop the identified collector routes it is requested that this approach be tabled at Council meetings in May and June with sub-groups meeting to agree their collector routes in June. Special RRG meetings can then be held in July to endorse the joint road freight plan. Attached and with this letter is a tube from Main Roads Wheatbelt containing the maps marked up be each sub-group, the overall Wheatbelt map and spreadsheet to facilitate your discussions. This is a great opportunity for us all to work together for the overall benefit of the Wheatbelt with the possibility of us securing funding for a programme of improvements to our road network which will be over and above normal RRG funding. I therefore request that you endeavour to meet the timeline indicated above to enable the business case to be submitted in time for the budgeting process.

Yours sincerely

Craig Manton Rick Storer Lyn Baker Wheatbelt Regional Manager Chair Person WBN RRG Chair Person WBS RRG
