MAYORAL MINUTE - AUGUST 2015(M/03/01) REPORT

1. Council will note the article which appeared in the most recent edition of the

Sunday Telegraph, in relation to claims that NSW Local Government Minister;

the Hon Paul Toole MP will ‘sack Councils and place Administrators in until

the 2016 Council elections’. After speaking with the Member for

Cootamundra (The Hon Katrina Hodgkinson MP), the Member for Northern

Tablelands (Mr Adam Marshall MP), the Member for Murray (The Hon Adrian

Piccoli MP) and Minister Toole’s Senior Policy Advisor, I can confirm the

article is totally incorrect. I understand Councillors, staff and many of our

citizens were alarmed at the front page story, which is understandable.

Temora Shire have ‘stayed the course’ to date, we have not been ‘spooked’

by rumour and innuendo - and unless advice comes from the Minister’s own

mouth it is business as usual for Temora Shire.

2. Council thanks all who participated in our recent Local Government Week celebrations. It is important we look for all opportunities to promote the best form of government and I believe we do this very well. Particular congratulations are extended to our Events Manager, Ms Amanda Gay for her hard work.

3. Council will recall that the General Manager and I had Ministerial meetings in

Parliament House, Sydney, on Thursday 6th August. Council places on record

our sincere thanks to our NSW Member for Cootamundra, the Hon Katrina

Hodgkinson MP, for arranging the Ministerial delegation meeting with The

Deputy Premier/Minister for Police, The Treasurer, Minister for Local

Government, Minister for Roads & Freight, and the Minister for Trade,

Tourism, Sport & Major Events. Our main mission was to discuss issues that

are of great importance to Council and our community. In particular though,

we were looking for $97,000 for our utility upgrade at the new Medical

Imaging Centre. We do hope a positive outcome will eventuate as the

General Manager and I continue discussions with the NSW Minister for

Regional Development, the Hon John Barilaro MP.

4. Council will be pleased to know, whilst in Sydney, I enjoyed dinner with this

year’s Australia Day Ambassador, Mr Joe Snell. Mr Snell asked me to pass

on to all in Temora Shire his very best wishes. He hopes to be back for a

Showcase Day at the Temora Aviation Museum, and bring his entire family

with him.

5. I place on record Council’s and our community’s sincere appreciation to the

Temora Police & Community Committee who are currently numbering our

homes in the Temora township. This has been made possible through

funding provided by Mr B H Kahlefeldt OAM, and Temora is indebted to him.


20/08/2015 7 of 235

6. Council is advised of our Heavy Vehicle Alternate Route Workshop which will

be held on Tuesday 1st September. This will be a ‘Closed Committee’ for

obvious reasons. This will be a discussion with our Consultants, Mr & Mrs

Van de Boss to review the final three options we had them cost and analyse.

I encourage all Councillors and Senior Staff to ensure they are able to attend

this most important meeting.

7. I place on record Temora Shire Council’s deepest and profound sympathy on

the passing of former Deputy Mayor of Young Shire, Cr John McGregor. Cr

McGregor was a friend to many of us, and in particular to Cr P M Speirs OAM.

He was a true gentleman of local government and there was no stronger

advocate for Young Shire than he. Cr McGregor shall always have a special

place in our hearts and our prayers remain with his family and friends.

8. Council will be disappointed to learn the current Principal at St Anne’s Central

School; Mr David Keenan has accepted a Principal’s position in Shepparton,

Victoria to commence in 2016. Temora Shire Council and our community

thank Mr Keenan for his contributions and wish he and his family continued

happiness and success.

9. Councillors and staff congratulate long-serving Temora Shire Councillor, Ken

Smith on his re-election as President of CanAssist Temora. I know Cr Smith

and his team will continue their great work within the Temora District,

assisting those families in real need of financial assistance.

10. As Council may be aware, I have long been advocating for us to consider

having our four main entrances to the Temora Township beautified. We are

known as a Shire of Friendly People, but also, we are known for our beautiful

main street. This is something I feel very strongly about and believe this could

be done in stages, depending on designs and costings. It may be simple as

some advanced trees, with a consistent design or something else. The time

has come for Council to seriously look at this next phase of beautifying our

town approaches.

11. I was pleased to have been involved with the Directors Performance Reviews

recently. The Deputy Mayor and I relished the opportunity to have conducted

the General Manager’s review. To suggest we are blessed to have such

capable and dedicated staff would be an understatement. To our General

Manager and Directors, please know your efforts are appreciated by my

fellow Councillors and the entire Temora Shire community.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Mayoral minute be noted AND FURTHER That Council engage a landscape architect to obtain costings and design options to beautify the four main entrances to Temora Township and be brought back to a future Environmental Committee meeting for consideration.

REPORT Council is in receipt of correspondence regarding the lack of disabled parking and lips into gutters in the vicinity of the Newsagent, Waratah Café, Living & Giving Coffee shop. The resident suggests that a disabled parking space is made on the first car space next to the crossing, near Gazza’s & Waratah Café with a time limit of 1½ hours and a lip on the island for walking frames, wheelchairs to access the footpath. The resident would also like to see business owner’s park behind their business or in side streets, not in front of other businesses across the other side of the street and monitored at the end of the week and on Saturdays.

3/08/2015 TEMORA RECYCLING OPERATIONS(W/01/06) BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: Recommendation would involve additional expenditure of $7,500 per annum, sourced from the Waste Management reserve REPORT The Temora Lions Club continues to provide the recycling services on behalf of Temora Shire, sorting and transporting Glass, paper and cardboard recyclables to processing centres Wagga and Tumut respectively. In recent times, Council was advised by Kurrajong Waratah Industries, that the commodity price for Glass had plummeted, and whilst they were still happy to take the product, they were not prepared to pay anything for it. (the only exception was for separated clear glass, which still only attracted a $50 per tonne premium). Councillors would recall how the Temora Lions Club, took over the Glass Recycling operations after Apex’s demise, approximately five years ago and incorporated the logistics into their Melaleuca Street Depot operations, with Council subsidising the freight costs for the glass which equates to approximately $550 per load ($2200 annually). Council also subsidises the cost of freight for the paper to go to Visy in Tumut, which also equates to approximately $2200 per annum) Since taking over the glass operations, the Lions Club generates approximately $5-6000 per annum from the glass sales, which is donated back into the community in accordance with their service charter. However, this latest price slump has affected their bottom line and they are unable to financially contribute as much as they normally would to the community, which is disheartening some of their membership. I have discussed, some of the options with the current club executives, and have concluded that the simplest way to assist in this regards may be for Council subsidise the cost of all of transporting all of their recyclable products, which would now include the cardboard bales to Visy at Tumut. Presently, the Lions Club expends $7500 per annum on cardboard freight and it is this additional amount that I propose Council to subsidise their operation, in the wake of the collapse in the glass price. This ultimately has the net effect of increasing the transport freight subsidy for all recyclables from the current amount of $5,000 to $12,500 (which is still a relatively low cost option, compared to a service delivered by Council day labour or contractor) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council subside the cost of freight for all recyclables (glass, paper and cardboard) collected at the Lions Club Recycling Depot Report by Kris Dunstan

4/08/2015 KERB BRIDGE AT BUNDAWARRAH CENTRE(R/03/04)

REPORT The staff at the Bundawarrah Centre have requested that a pedestrian footbridge be installed on the kerb and gutter to allow for easier access to the facility during rain events. It has been suggested that the Men’s Shed be asked to build this at no cost to Council. Engineering are opposed to this as a footbridge would provide additional hazards within the roadway and, more importantly, create a barrier for debris to accumulate against. The long-term solution would be to provide subsurface stormwater drainage to Ashelford Street at a cost of approximately $50,000. It is believed within the department that stormwater events within Temora are infrequent enough to not warrant construction of a permanent footbridge. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended for the Committee’s decision. Report by Neil Ogilvie 978/2015 COMMITTEE RESOLUTION On the motion of Cr Firman and Cr Oliver The Committee resolved to recommend to Council that the report be noted. Carried

Carried Advising of a request from Valerie Edwards to provide a path from the public area at Gloucester Park to the toilets. 980/2015 COMMITTEE RESOLUTION On the motion of Cr Firman and Cr Smith The Committee resolved to recommend to Council that costs be determined to provide a pathway and be referred to the 2016/2017 estimates. Carried Cr Firman Requesting advice regarding the current position of standpipes in Temora. General Manager advised that an application had been made for two standpipes under the Community Building Partnership Program.

2/08/2015 ACCOMMODATION CHARTER(D/01/04) REPORT Temora Shire Council and the Visitor Information Centre put a great deal of resources into promoting Temora as a place to visit and to attracting event holders to host visitor experiences. The effect and resources put into this promotion is done with the understanding that providers of tourism related services will deliver a quality customer experience that, at a minimum, meets customer expectations. At present, however, we do not have any real controls over the experience a visitor to Temora will receive, yet all operators have the opportunity to benefit from the promotional effort on an equal basis. Last month the Temora Visitor Information Centre received a phone call from a gentleman advising of an issue he had with seeking accommodation for the Warbirds Downunder. In 2013 his group booked at one of the motels in Temora and on arrival they were charged twice the quoted rate. The same group booked at one of the hotels in town for 2015 and when they went to confirm the booking they were told that their accommodation had been given to another booking. This gentleman then rang the VIC to see what other options he had. Unfortunately we had none to offer. He went on to suggest that maybe we could be instrumental in forming a charter for the accommodation sector. He also advised that Temora was getting a bad name because of issues arising with accommodation. A charter would outline to visitors the service they can expect from a visiting Temora. It might cover every stage of the experience from booking online, face to face interactions, the standard of facilities, billing and handling of complaints. Tourism providers would be invited to contribute to the creation of the charter and then asked to sign up to it voluntarily. Those who do not sign might be restricted in access to some of the promotional benefits afforded to tourism providers such as recommendations by the VIC, listings on the website and in the Temora brochure, etc. Should providers consistently fail to adhere to the commitments outlined in the charter then we could begin to remove the promotional benefits as a means of maintaining quality customer experience. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee discuss the pros and cons of introducing a charter for tourism providers and agree on a resolution and forward to Council for consideration. Report by Craig Sinclair 991/2015 COMMITTEE RESOLUTION On the motion of Cr Firman and Cr Smith The Committee resolved to recommend to Council that a draft charter for accommodation be compiled and submitted to a future meeting.

5/08/2015 REVIEW OF DESTINATION MANAGEMENT PLAN(D/01/04)

REPORT A Destination Management Plan (DMP) is a business plan for building and managing the visitor economy. This document captures and presents the information, learnings and actions identified through Destination Management processes. It allows Councils and RRT to share this information with industry stakeholders so that they can use it as a guide to manage and invest in the Destination. It is also used by Destination NSW to approve funding for various projects – if it’s not in the plan it is highly unlikely to be funded. What is the NSW Government looking for? Information:

• Comprehensive identification of and evaluation of the destination’s assets

• Clarity about our destination’s visitor economy business

• Hard evidence to support any recommended strategies, priorities and

activities

• A realistic appreciation of our resources, both physical and financial, and their

capacity to deliver the objectives/tasks we have prioritised.

Collaboration:

• Evidence of widespread consultation and demonstration of how the

Destination Management Plan fits within and works toward our identified

goals and those of the NSW Government.

• This means showing measurable results that contribute to the 2020 objectives

of doubling overnight visitor expenditure in NSW.

Results:

• The NSW Government is interested in the most compelling business case(s)

that are going to deliver on the NSW Government’s 2020 goal of doubling

overnight visitor expenditure

Riverina DMP The DMP for the Riverina region was last updated in August 2013. It needs to be reviewed and updated for review by RRT by 19th August. There are two key areas of the DMP that Temora Shire needs to review:

• Part 1 – Eastern Riverina (pages 20-28) :

o Destination Description

o Strategy

o Experiences

o Product Audit

o Marketing & Visitor Information


20/08/2015 59 of 235

o Development Opportunities

• Part 2 – Council Strategies (page 74)

o Temora Shire’s strategy is absent from the document

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee suggest a method for contributing changes to the DMP Report by Craig Sinclair

5/08/2015 REVIEW OF CULVERT RAILING IN POLARIS STREET(C/04/23)

REPORT Background

- The RSO received a request from a community member to install reflective lighting on the metal railings around the culvert in Polaris Street (Aurora Street) because the railings come out into the road and at night there is very little light and hard to see. She felt that they were a hazard and had nearly driven into them herself at night.

- In discussions with the Senior Engineering Technical Officer, it was determined that the railings at a second location (Polaris & Baker Street) could also use reflective lighting to increase safety at night.

Actions

- The RSO did a physical inspection of the site and determined that lighting was poor and the railings do extend into Polaris Street to a considerable length.

- On review of the railings themselves, it was found that they are also quite rusty and possibly not to standard for safety protection.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that:

- Reflective lighting be placed on the railings to increase awareness and visibility;

- A review of railings be completed to determine if they meet correct standards; - If not, that replacement of the railings be conducted to standard.

1/08/2015 COUNTRY NSW EXPO 2015(D/01/04) REPORT On the 1st and 2nd August Amanda Gay and the EDO joined with staff from Ray White Temora and the Ashcroft family to exhibit at the Country NSW Expo in the Howie Building at Sydney Olympic Park. This year there were much fewer exhibitors than previous years, which we were expecting. There were also fewer country changers in attendance. Despite this, however, the Temora stand was constantly kept busy with a continual stream of quality people who seemed commitment to relocating, many of whom would make an excellent addition to the community of Temora Shire. Overall we gave out almost 400 information brochure and collected the contact details of over 120 singles, couples or families looking to relocate. This ranged from 18 year olds looking for educational opportunities in rural areas, to young families seeking a safe place for their children to grow up, to empty nesters looking for a more relaxed pace of life, and to retirees seeking a place to get involved in a community. The overwhelmingly strong message common to most who visited the stand was that the rapid increases in the price of property mostly driven by foreign investment, along with the associated changes to the fabric of their community was the biggest motivation for relocation. It also appeared that a large proportion of country changers who attended the expo came from the Camden/Campbelltown area, lower Blue Mountains/Penrith area or the Central Coast. There were also a significant number from the Blacktown area of inner western Sydney. This is a trend that reflects previous expos and the successful relocations to Temora in recent years. In following up from the Country NSW Expo, contacts have been invited to attend a number of Open Weekends in Temora, the first being the Open for Business Expo on the 15th August. We currently have at least 8 who have confirmed there attendance, with many more either choosing to come earlier or to a weekend later in the year. The format of the stall, which included the Temora tourism brochure and the DirectMe guide as well as property information from Ray White, and a video produced by Masoud from Unity Productions that tells the relocation stories of the


20/08/2015 98 of 235

Ashcroft’s and the Simpsons, worked extremely well. The Ashcroft’s also delivered 4 seminars which were very popular and still unique to Temora. Moving forward it seems likely that the Country NSW Expo cease to exist or change format. Speaking with the representatives from major sponsor, the Dept Industry, the contract for the event is up for tender. Current organiser, Peter Bailey, from the Foundation for Regional Development, is likely to apply for funding and hinted that he will seek to deliver smaller, more targeted events that coincide with existing events in target areas, such as the Camden Show. Attendance at these events would still come at a cost to TSC and with additional burden of multiple expos per year, however there are likely to be benefits associated to taking a more targeted approach in hot spot areas provided marketing activities are still carried out in order to attract those genuinely seeking to relocate. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Temora Shire Council continue to have an active and ongoing strategy that encourages new residents to Temora, but reconsider our commitment to attend events organised by Peter Bailey until an analysis of the associated costs and benefits compared to organising our own events can be undertaken. Report by Craig Sinclair 1013/2015 COMMITTEE RESOLUTION On the motion of Cr Sinclair and Cr Smith The Committee resolved to recommend to Council to adopt the recommendation as presented. Carried

2/08/2015 MEDICAL PRECINCT DEVELOPMENT(H/01/08)

REPORT The National Stronger Regions Fund application for just under $600,000 for the Temora Medical Imaging Precinct Development was submitted on Thursday 30th July 2015, a day earlier than the deadline.

The completion of a very thorough application was the result of many hours work from staff through Council including Claire Golder, James Durham, Kris Dunstan, Elizabeth Smith, Gary Lavelle, Steve Firth, Neil Ogilvie and Anne Rands.

In total, the application was worth $1.5M which includes the purchase of the land and associated costs, site preparation and construction costs, internal fit out, and furnishings. The breakdown of these costs is roughly:

$600,000 Temora Shire Council

$600,000 NSRF

$360,000 Alpenglow Australia (Lessee of the Medical Imaging Building)

Alpenglow will contribute an additional $600,000 towards medical imaging equipment and other costs, which takes the total value of the project to almost $2.2M.

The business case indicates that the development will contribute around $2M per year to the local economy from a combination of spending from non-residents using medical imaging services in Temora and the prevention of leakage to the economy currently associated with Temora residents travelling to Wagga to use imaging services. It does not take into consideration the impact of the additional jobs of up to 5 staff employed locally by Alpenglow or the increased number of doctors, specialist and medical students that both the imaging facility and the residential accommodation will provide. The return on investment period is forecast at 26 years with the entire development expect to operate at a net profit to Council.

The outcome of the funding application is expected to be announced in December 2015. Assessment of the application will be carried out in two stages, firstly by public servants who will determine that the application meets the assessment criteria, and secondly by a panel of MP’s who will determine whether to grant funds. The GM and Mayor have arranged a meeting to brief Federal Member, Michael McCormick, on the project and the application.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Councillors endeavour to proactively seek support for the project and associated funding through relevant stakeholders. Report by Craig Sinclair

Mayoral Report

1/08/2015 MAYORS REPORT - JULY 2015(M/03/01) REPORT 1st July – I attended the Temora Shire Council offices. 3rd July – I attended the annual Temora & District Education Fund’s Debutante of the Year Ball at the Temora Town Hall. All Debutantes from the Catholic, Anglican, and Ariah Park Balls. We had 23 lovely young Debutantes together with their dashing partners come together to raise funds for the TDEF.

3/08/2015 TEMORA FIGHT THE FRUIT FLY GROUP - RESPONSE TO COUNCILS LETTER(N/03/99) REPORT The following letter was sent to the Temora Fight the Fruit Fly Group following from Council’s resolution at the July meeting.

Dear Mr. Hoskinson, At the July 2015 meeting of Temora Shire Council it was resolved that; “(Council would provide) Administrative, Design, Material & in-principal support (to the) Temora Community Fight the Fruit Fly Group on an on-going basis. AND FURTHER That a remove & replace program be established for Council trees harbouring Fruit Fly” Please contact the Engineering Secretary, Mrs. Nicole Bonny on [email protected] or through (02) 6980 1100 to discuss any printing, advertising or design needs you may require, within reason. It is expected by Council that this consist of design & printing of information-type leaflets on a quarterly basis with content supplied by the Community Group. Similarly, any advertising is expected to be undertaken on no more than a quarterly basis and is to not exceed A6-sized (or close to) advertisements on each occasion. Any grants or funds that the Group wish to apply for to undertake Fruit Fly related works is done so with the in-principal support from Temora Shire Council. To discuss tree removals, please contact the Urban Overseer, Mr. Chris Campbell, on [email protected] or 0427 181 605, noting that Council cannot commit to a fixed number of removals per year but will aspire to resolve any identified issues as promptly as financially possible. In relation to your request regarding Bulk Tree Removals, Council shall integrate this request with the existing Annual Bulk Waste Removal Day held in June of each year. Sincerely, etc

In response, the Group have provided a series of counter-requests;

1. A special Tree Pick Up Day be undertaken this year, suggested date being September 21st 2015.

2. Free passes for the Council tip be made available for any residents removing unwanted fruit trees.

3. Council confer with the group regarding available grants from State & Federal Governments.

4. Council confirm that ‘The Green Army’ be utilised for tree replacements.


20/08/2015 129 of 235

For Councils information;

The Green Army is a hands-on, practical environmental action programme that supports local environment and heritage conservation projects across Australia.

The Australian Government has allocated more than $700 million for the

programme over four years from 1 July 2015. The programme will support

250 projects in 2014-15, 500 projects in 2015-16, 750 projects in 2016-17,

and build to 1,500 by 2018-19.

The Australian Government has engaged five Service Providers to help

deliver the programme on the ground.

The Fight the Fruit Fly Group have already had a letter-drop organised throughout the Temora township (at Councils cost) without consulting the department, an arrangement which proved presumptuous in their planning and not following the request to “discuss any printing, advertising or design needs you may require, within reason”. Furthermore, the “urgent” nature of this late letter indicates that the Group have not fully appreciated the long-term nature of this project and the low impact most efforts will have. Comments & considerations on the most recent requests are as listed below.

1. A special Tree Pick Up Day be undertaken this year, suggested date being September 21st 2015. Cost to Council approximately $1200 + lost production within Parks & Gardens staff. Pick up would also require advertising & promotion, at Council’s cost, above & beyond the expectation listed in the previous letter.

2. Free passes for the Council tip be made available for any residents removing unwanted fruit trees. No details provided on how this may be administered, potential for abuse among residents.

3. Council confer with the group regarding available grants from State & Federal Governments. The department is currently focused on delivering an ambitious Capital Works programme while maintaining our legislative requirements & developing our strategic documents. Diversion of attention toward Community Fruit Fly efforts would be detrimental to current goals. The Easy Grants Newsletter has been sent to the Group for their information.

4. Council confirm that ‘The Green Army’ be utilised for tree replacements. This would appear to be a reasonable request but confirmation of details would be required before commitment.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council reiterate the extent of their commitment as per previous resolution and include any further advice they wish to convey to the Group.

Director of Environmental Service’s Report

1/08/2015 SUBDIVISION OF 193 & 195 BAKER STREET, TEMORA(D/01/01)

REPORT ITEM: DA No. APPLICANT PROPERTY OWNER PROPOSAL NOTIFICATION SITE DESCRIPTION ASSESSMENT

2015/132S Gary Lavelle Temora Shire Council 193 and 195 Baker St, Temora Lots 3 & 4 Section 12 DP 758957 Temora Shire Council and M.E. Krause Subdivision by way of boundary adjustment of existing lots to create Lot 31 (1313m2) and Lot 32 (709.9m2). Notice of this application is not required in accordance with Council’s notification policy.

The subject land is zoned R1 General Residential. The site is currently in two parcels, each approximately 1010.4m2 in size and each is currently developed with a dwelling. Immediate adjacent land uses are developed residential zoned land, with the Temora Recreation Ground located opposite. At the rear of the subject land is a laneway. The following matters need to be considered under section 79(C) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979, as part of the assessment of the proposal. There are no State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs) that are relevant to this application. There are no deemed SEPPs which relate to this Region. The site is zoned R1 General Residential under the Temora Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2010. The objectives of this zone are:

• To provide for the housing needs of the community.

• To provide for a variety of housing types and densities.

• To enable other land uses that provide facilities or

services to meet the day to day needs of residents.

• To protect local groundwater aquifers from


20/08/2015 133 of 235

contaminating activities. The proposed development is consistent with these objectives. Subdivision of land is permitted with consent. The minimum lot size for the purposes of a dwelling house that applies to the subject land is 750m2. The proposal involves a request to vary this development standard, as one of the lots proposed to be created will be less than the minimum lot size, being 709.9m2. The property is not identified as being bushfire prone land and is not an identified flood planning area. Both existing lots have access to services and road access. The Temora Shire Development Control Plan 2012 is relevant to this application. The chapters relevant to this proposal are:

• Development Applications The application includes relevant surveyors plans and the information supporting the variation to the minimum lot size development standard.

• Engineering Standards The development will be required to comply with relevant engineering standards for subdivision.

• Erosion and Sediment Control Conditions of consent will include controls to minimise and manage erosion from the site.

• Landscaping Landscaping on lots will be the responsibility of land owners, to be dealt with as part of future applications for construction. Street trees will be conditioned to be provided by Council at the time of approval of future development.

• Notification of Development Applications No neighbour notification of this application is required, as the proposal involves a boundary adjustment between two existing lots.

• Subdivision The objectives of these controls are to: • ensure that subdivision is planned having regard to environmental, social and economic opportunities of a site • match lot sizes to the capacity of the land • encourage subdivisions that promote sustainable design for future dwellings • provide all services to all allotments in a timely manner • support subdivision in areas identified for future urban expansion


20/08/2015 134 of 235

LIKELY IMPACTS SUITABILTY OF THE SITE PUBLIC INTEREST CONCLUSION

The application involves the creation of one lot that is 709.9m2. This represents a variation of 5% from the minimum size. Discussions between Council and NSW Planning and Environment have determined that Council has assumed concurrence from the Director General. Therefore no additional approval required from NSW Planning and Environment. Environmental

- Natural Impacts on the natural environment are considered negligible, as the proposal is a boundary adjustment.

- Built The proposal involves the addition of the rear yard of the existing Lot 4 to Lot 3. The streetscape is unaffected by this boundary adjustment. The plan of subdivision includes an easement for services along the fenceline. Social Overall social impacts of the proposal are considered negligible, as the proposal is a boundary adjustment. Economic Economic impacts of the development are considered negligible, as the proposal is a boundary adjustment. The suitability of the site for the development is discussed in the application to vary the development standard. The proposal is a suitable means to achieve that intention, through its layout, lot configuration, provision of services and integration with the existing road network and adjoining land uses. It is in the public interest to support the suitable development of land for its intended purpose. The proposal for the subdivision of land by way of boundary adjustment at 193 & 195 Baker Street, Temora, as detailed in this report, is a suitable use of this land in accordance with its zoned purposed. The proposed subdivision is supported and recommended for approval subject to the following conditions.

Application Form to vary a development standard

Written application providing grounds for variation to development standards

To be submitted together with the development application (refer to EP&A Regulation 2000

Schedule 1 Forms).

1. What is the name of the environmental planning instrument that applies to the

land?

Temora Local Environmental Plan 2010

2. What is the zoning of the land?

R1 General Residential

3. What are the objectives of the zone?

Zone R1 General Residential

1 Objectives of zone

• To provide for the housing needs of the community.

• To provide for a variety of housing types and densities.

• To enable other land uses that provide facilities or services to meet the day to day needs of

residents.

• To protect local groundwater aquifers from contaminating activities.

4. What is the development standard being varied? e.g. FSR, height, lot size

Minimum lot size of 750m2

5. Under what clause is the development standard listed in the environmental

planning instrument?

4.1 Minimum subdivision lot size

6. What are the objectives of the development standard?

(1) The objectives of this clause are as follows:

(a) to establish minimum areas for lots that are able to accommodate development that is

consistent with the relevant development controls.


20/08/2015 136 of 235

7. What is the numeric value of the development standard in the environmental

planning instrument?

750 m2

8. What is proposed numeric value of the development standard in your

development application?

709.9 m2

9. What is the percentage variation (between your proposal and the environmental

planning instrument)?

The variation is 40.1 m2, which represents a percentage variation of 5%.

10. How is strict compliance with the development standard unreasonable or

unnecessary in this particular case?

The proposal involves a boundary adjustment between two existing lots, known as 193

Baker Street Temora (Lot 3 Section 12 DP 758957) and 195 Baker Street Temora (Lot 4

Section 12 DP 758957). The proposed subdivision represents a variation of 5% from the

minimum lot size. The subdivision is proposed in order to facilitate the sale of land to

Temora Shire Council for the purposes of the development of a community facility with

ancillary accommodation and parking. The community facility is intended to support

Council’s existing medical centre, which is located on an adjoining lot to the subject land.

Strict compliance with this development standard is considered unnecessary in this

particular case, as the subdivision involves land that is located at the rear of an existing

dwelling and therefore the streetscape of Baker Street is unaffected. Site coverage is not an

issue, as the retained dwelling located at 195 Baker Street Temora will still benefit from

sufficient private open space and setbacks. Other nearby developed lots in Baker Street are

already smaller than then 750m2 minimum size.

11. How would strict compliance hinder the attainment of the objects specified in

Section 5(a)(i) and (ii) of the Act.

Strict compliance would prevent Council from developing this area of Temora for the

benefit, both socially and economically, of their community and district. The proposal

represents an orderly and economic use of land, for community benefit, that has the support

of all landowners involved, as well as the elected representatives.

12. Is the development standard a performance based control? Give details.

No

Additional matters to address


20/08/2015 137 of 235

13. Would strict compliance with the standard, in your particular case, would be

unreasonable or unnecessary? Why?

Strict compliance with the standard, in this particular case is unnecessary, as there is no

material impact to the existing dwelling to be retained as part of the proposed future

development. Suitable private open space for the existing dwelling will be retained as part of

the proposed boundary adjustment.

It is considered unreasonable for the community to forego the economic and social benefits

of a community facility proposed to be located on the subject land due to the requirement

to comply with this development standard. The proposed facility requires the subject land in

order to be economically viable in size and provide the necessary car parking and vehicle

storage facilities to support the development.

14. Are there sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the

development standard? Give details.

The environmental planning grounds that justify contravening the development standard

are:

- There is no material impact upon the existing dwelling to be retained as part of the

proposal, and no impact to the streetscape of this dwelling

- The subdivision is proposed in order to facilitate use of land for a community facility

to be developed by Temora Shire Council

- The community facility would be linked to Council’s existing Medical Complex, and

the two facilities rely on immediate proximity in order to support each other.

Therefore, no other site is suitable.

- The proposed community facility is required to be of sufficient size to provide an

economically viable facility. The additional land is necessary to support car parking

and vehicle storage. These uses are reasonable, given the rear lane access to the

site, and do not represent an overdevelopment of the site.

- Developing the community facility over two storeys to accommodate the necessary

capacity is impractical and would be out of character for the area.

- The proposal will result in a social benefit to Temora Shire and districts, which in

turn strengthens the economic position of the small rural community of Temora.

- There have been no recent similar proposals for development standard, therefore

there is no issue of cumulative impact.

- The proposed subdivision is to support the unique circumstances of this location, for

a community facility, and could not readily be considered to form a precedent for

future variations.

- Therefore the integrity of the existing development standard will remain intact.

2/08/2015 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 136.2015 - 193 BAKER STREET, TEMORA(D/01/01)

REPORT DA No. APPLICANT PROPERTY OWNER PROPOSAL NOTIFICATION ASSESSMENT

DA 136/2015 Temora Shire Council 193 Baker Street Temora: (proposed Lot 31), known as Lot 3 Section 12 DP 758957 Temora Shire Council The development proposal is to construct a staged development of a medical precinct, comprising Stage 1: a building for the purposes of medical imaging and Stage 2: two (2) residential units. The site is located immediately behind the existing Temora Medical Complex. The intended purpose of the units are to provide residential accommodation for visiting medical professionals and medical students, and short term accommodation to newly arrived permanent medical professionals. Unit 1 will be a 3 bed unit with attached double garage. Unit 2 will comprise four bedrooms with two kitchens and is designed to function as two x two bedroom semi-detached units. Unit 2 can be connected to function as a single dwelling, depending on occupant needs. The proposed buildings will be sited with unit 1 facing Baker Street, and unit 2 being located behind unit 1. The main entrances to unit 2 will be along a walkway, accessed from the rear carpark. The medical imaging building will have frontage to the rear laneway, giving proximity to the existing Temora Medical Complex, located on the other side of the rear laneway. The existing dwelling on this site is proposed to be demolished as part of the development. There is an existing shed located at the rear of the site, which provides car parking for four vehicles. This shed will be relocated to adjoining land at 195 Baker Street as part of a separate application. The subject land is 1313m2 in size. Notice of this application has been provided as part of the assessment process.

• Notification letter forwarded to two (2) adjoining neighbours. The following matters need to be considered under section 79(C) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979, as part of the assessment of the proposal. The State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) (Infrastructure) 2007 is applicable to this proposal. Under this SEPP, development for the purpose of a health services facility may be carried out with consent on land in a prescribed zone. The prescribed zone includes land that is zoned R1 General Residential.


20/08/2015 140 of 235

There are no deemed SEPPs which relate to this Region. The site is zoned R1 General Residential under the Temora Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2010. Under this zoning, development for the purposes of multi-dwelling housing is permitted with consent. The objectives of the zone are:

• To provide for the housing needs of the community. • To provide for a variety of housing types and densities. • To enable other land uses that provide facilities or services to

meet the day to day needs of residents. • To protect local groundwater aquifers from contaminating

activities The proposal is consistent with the objectives of the zone. There are no development standards contained within the LEP that affect this development, and there is no need for any development standards to be varied to permit the development. The Temora Shire Development Control Plan 2012 is relevant to this application. The chapters relevant to this proposal are:

• Car Parking Onsite car parking is provides alongside the medical imaging building, accessed from the rear laneway. This would provide off street car parking for unit 2, as well as disabled access parking, ambulance parking and staff parking. This is considered suitable or the site.

• Commercial Development The design of the medical imaging building responds to Council’s guidelines, using different types of scyon cladding and a colorbond roof.

• Development Applications The application includes relevant plans to support the application.

• Engineering Standards The engineering standards for residential development are relevant to this application, and conditions of consent can be imposed to respond to these requirements.

• Erosion and Sediment Control Erosion and sediment loss is expected as part of the construction and operations of the development. Minimising and managing sediment loss can be conditioned as part of consent for the development to avoid impacts on adjoining landowners and waterways.

• Landscaping The DCP encourages a high standard of landscape design throughout the Shire. Conditions of consent can be included to achieve this objective such as the location, type, species, growth stage and maintenance of plantings.


20/08/2015 141 of 235

LIKELY IMPACTS

• Multi-dwelling housing Although the proposal involves the creation of two units, the design provides the potential for the development to function as three units. The proposed unit 1, located closest to Baker Street is setback four metres, which is consistent with the existing dwelling (to be demolished) and neighbouring dwellings on either side. The proposed design responds positively to the streetscape with a contemporary design, using a scale in keeping with existing development. The total floor area for the development is 183.6m2 for unit 1; 243.4m2 for unit 2; and 187.3m2 for the medical imaging building, combined with the existing footprint of the garage of 95.2 m2. This gives a total developed area of 709.5m2. The proposal includes a concrete alfresco open space area for all units. Additional private open space is provided adjoining the alfresco area of unit 1. The DCP promotes the use of screens, planting and walls to maintain visual privacy of dwellings and neighbours and to reduce noise. The proposal is designed to maintain privacy for living areas The site includes car parking for four (4) vehicles within the relocated shed at the rear of the dwelling at 195 Baker Street, four spaces adjacent to the proposed medical imaging building (including one (1) disabled space, and proposes two additional spaces within the garage attached to unit 1. This is considered sufficient for the proposed development. The private open space provided by the proposed development is suitable, with sufficient land available at the rear of the garage of unit 1. Unit 2, being of flexible design, is has suitable private open space in two separate areas. The site coverage must be considered in two parts, as the development is for mixed purpose, being part residential and part commercial. The site coverage for the residential part of the development is less that the maximum site coverage 75%.

• Notification of Development Applications The application has been notified to adjoining landowners in accordance with the above chapter of the DCP.

• Environmental - Natural

Impacts on the natural environment that occur as a result of this proposal are changes to stormwater runoff, and the creation of dust and noise. These impacts can be mitigated with onsite measures and enforced through conditions of consent. There are no items or places of Aboriginal heritage on the subject site.

- Built The impact on the built environment is the demolition of an existing residential dwelling.


20/08/2015 142 of 235

SUITABILTY OF THE SITE SUBMISSIONS PUBLIC INTEREST CONCLUSION

• Social The social impacts of the development are positive with the creation of the opportunity for local medical imaging services and accommodation to support visiting and newly arrived permanent medical professionals, and medial students.

• Economic The economic impacts of the development are positive with the provision of additional medical services and medical residential accommodation. The site is suitable for the development as proposed as the zoning allows for multi-unit development and the SEPP (infrastructure) allows for the construction of health services facilities in the zone. The lot is of sufficient size and dimensions to accommodate the scale and design of development proposed. As a result of the notification, one written submission was received from a neighbouring property owner. The issues raised in the submission relate to privacy for the adjoining resident, in relation to views to the backyard and any windows that look toward the adjoining residential property. The submission includes proposed means to mitigate these privacy issues, namely a new fence of increased height. It is recommended that this mitigation measure be implemented as a condition of consent. The living room windows that directly faces the dwelling that is the subject of the submission can be amended to be highlight windows, providing natural light but protecting the privacy of the adjoining resident. This measure was agreed to during onsite discussions with the affected resident. Privacy issues for the other adjoining dwelling are minimal, with an existing boundary fence and setback of the adjoining dwelling from the subject site providing sufficient privacy. It is in the public interest to support the intentions of the Temora LEP and DCP, which is to facilitate development and use of land for its planned purpose. However it is also in the public interest that such development will not adversely impact upon the use of nearby land for its intend purposes. The application represents an expected landuse for the site and impacts on surrounding land can be mitigated to avoid adverse impact. Therefore overall the development is in the public interest. The proposal to construct a building for the purposes of medical imaging services and two residential units comprising a 3 bedroom unit and 2 x 2 bed attached units is supported. The privacy issues raised through the notification process can be addressed through conditions of consent.

3/08/2015 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION 106.2015- 2839 MARY GILMORE WAY, MORANGARELL(D/01/01) REPORT DA No. APPLICANT PROPERTY OWNER PROPOSAL NOTIFICATION SITE DESCRIPTION ASSESSMENT

106/2015 TJ Hinchcliffe 2839 Mary Gilmore Way Morangarell Lot 1 DP 1077565 Christopher McRae Two lot rural subdivision, involving the creation of one lot less than the minimum lot size, containing an existing dwelling. No neighbour notification of this application is required under the Temora Development Control Plan 2012, as the proposal involves a rural subdivision. As the property is identified as including bushfire prone land, it was referred to the NSW Rural Fire Service for comment.

The subject land is 96 hectares, located on the edge of the Temora Shire boundary approximately 35km north east of Temora. The site is adjoined by rural property on all sides, with Mary Gilmore Way dividing the existing lot into two parts. The proposed subdivision involves subdividing the property along this road boundary. The land is currently used for agricultural purposes, with an existing dwelling and sheds on proposed Lot 11. The site is predominantly cleared, with some scattered paddock trees, roadside vegetation and heavily timbered land located alongside Bland Creek. These areas are identified as Sensitive Biodiversity areas. The site is identified as containing sensitive water and land alongside Bland Creek. Land located along the northern boundary is identified as bushfire prone land. The site is not identified as containing contaminated land and is not identified as flood prone land. The following matters need to be considered under section 79(C) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979, as part of the assessment of the proposal. State Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands) 2008 applies to this proposal. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the rural planning principles. There are no deemed SEPPs which relate to this Region. The site is zoned RU1 Primary Production under the Temora Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2010. The minimum lot size for the purposes of including a dwelling house in this zone is 40 hectares. The proposed lot is smaller


20/08/2015 150 of 235

LIKELY IMPACTS

than the minimum size by 2.84 hectares, proposed to be 37.16 hectares. Therefore, the proposed dwelling site is considered under Clause 4.6 of the Temora LEP Exceptions to development standards. Development consent must not be granted under this clause for a subdivision of land in Zone RU1 Primary Production if: (b) the subdivision will result in at least one lot that is less than 90% of the minimum area specified for such a lot by a development standard. As the proposed lot does not vary by more than 10% from the minimum size, the subdivision can be considered. The existing division of this property by Mary Gilmore Way is considered to be a reasonable use for an exception to be considered. The relevant objectives of the zone are achieved, despite the proposed dwelling site being located on a lot that is smaller than the minimum lot size. The Temora Shire Development Control Plan 2012 is relevant to this application. The chapters relevant to this proposal are:

• Bushfire Protection The application was referred to the NSW Rural Fire Service for comment. No specific conditions were deemed necessary.

• Development Applications The application includes relevant plans and a detailed Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE).

• Engineering Standards The development will be required to comply with relevant engineering standards for subdivision.

• Rural Development The development responds to subdivision requirements. Environmental

- Natural Impacts on the natural environment are considered in the SEE. No clearing of vegetation is proposed as part of this development. Impact upon the natural environment is considered to be minimal.

- Built No impact upon the built environment is expected as part of this proposal. Social

SUBMISSONS SUITABILTY OF THE SITE PUBLIC INTEREST CONCLUSION

The social impacts of the development are considered to be negligible. Economic The economic impacts of the development are considered to be negligible. Comments received from the NSW Rural Fire Service advise that no specific conditions are required for this application. The suitability of the site for the development is considered as part of the SEE. The proposal is considered to be similar to existing nearby rural development. The proposal will allow existing agricultural land uses to continue. It is in the public interest to support subdivision for the purpose of agriculture. The proposal for a two lot rural subdivision for agricultural purposes at 2839 Mary Gilmore Way Morangarell is supported.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that approval be given Terry Hinchcliffe for a two lot rural subdivision on land at 2839 Mary Gilmore Way Morangerall.

2 HEAVY VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY(R/03/99) REPORT

TEMORA SHIRE – “OPEN FOR BUSINESS”

It is well documented elsewhere that freight transport throughout New South Wales will increase in the next 20 years by almost double, with increased numbers of larger, more efficient vehicles required in order that goods can be moved from Producer to Port. This increase in larger vehicles will be particularly acute for the township of Temora, sitting as it does on the crossroads of The Goldfields Way and The Burley Griffin Way, principal arterial routes for the Griffith Food Bowl agricultural produce and Bomen Intermodal Terminal, respectively. As it currently stands, the Temora townships road infrastructure network is the principal bottleneck in High Productivity Vehicles (HPV’s) access from the Griffith Food Bowl eastward to Sydney and from the Newell Highway southward to the Bomen Intermodal Terminal (and Wagga Wagga as a whole). Furthermore, the Primary Producers within the Shire itself have shown great tenacity in developing their own freight capabilities, as evidenced by the Road Train Trials that Council currently host on an annual basis, with a strong desire to make the most of the regions rich agricultural heritage and secure prosperity into a competitive future. While Temora does not boast the traffic volumes that larger urban centres can claim, traffic volumes within the township are greater than expected for an urban centre situated away from a National Highway, with this traffic being of a nature that drives regional economies, including bulk agricultural produce and long-distance freight. A demonstrative snapshot of traffic volumes is presented below, noting that since this time Heavy Vehicle traffic has escalated by an estimated 5% beyond median national growth patterns and, on occasion, can include HPV’s such as A-Double Modern Road Trains (where & when possible). The development of the Bomen Intermodal Terminal and the increase in HPV’s throughout industry is expected to further increase the growth of Heavy Vehicle Movements further beyond median national growth patterns. Note: These counts were obtained over a 63 day period incorporating the months of August, September and October. No consideration for harvest traffic (peak period, estimated additional 35% Heavy Vehicle movements)

Current Constraints

Figure 2. Temora Traffic Inputs, contextual

Temora sits on the crossroads of the Burley Griffin Way (east-west) and the Goldfields Way (north-south), both State-controlled roads carrying freight vehicles locally, regionally and interstate. To the north and west of Temora, A-Double Road Trains are commonly utilised for their higher loading capacity per trailer and since February 2014 these vehicles have been able to obtain permits for accessing road networks east of the Newell Highway. However, the primary bottleneck in these vehicles effectively utilising the eastern road networks lies within the township of Temora itself, the urban road network unable to effectively & safely carry vehicles larger than a B-Double. To support the Shire’s own Primary Producers and allow for local industry to also take advantage of HPV’s, a number of constraints have been identified across the Local Road Network. Please note that only the Council Road Network has been considered ‘in-scope’ for this document with significant constraints elsewhere on the Freight Transport Network. Of particular impediment to freight is the close proximity of the rail corridor to the Goldfields Way (north), blocking any access to the Goldfields Way (north) from western freight corridors (most notably Thanowring Road and Howards Road).

Recommended Actions Heavy Vehicle Alternate Route A separate report has been drafted by Transport Modelling Pty Ltd on behalf of Council, focusing on the key problems & solutions for this particularly complex project. In brief, it is envisaged that a 3km upgrade corridor be identified along existing Council road alignments, these being treated over 4 phases for widening to a minimum 10m sealed pavement suitable for A-Double Road Trains. These upgrades would remove Heavy Vehicle through-traffic from the Temora CBD and open the road networks southward to Wagga Wagga/Bomen Intermodal Terminal and eastward to Sydney, raising both freight productivity through larger vehicles & reduced traffic time as well as resident safety through reduced Heavy Vehicle traffic within the Temora township. The cost of these works, if undertaken by Council works crews, is estimated at $20M (+/-30%) across a 4 year period with staged delivery phases.

Figure 4. Temora Heavy Vehicle Alternate Route (Conceptual)

For further details please see the dedicated HVAR report.


20/08/2015 193 of 235

Widening & Reconstruction The key areas identified in Fig. 5 overleaf include ten specific sections of roadway identified as requiring widening and/or sealing to be suitable for 21st century HPV’s. Treatments for these sites include;

• Widening of formation to 13m (invert-to-invert)

• Stabilisation of Pavement Subbase (200mm)

• Addition of 100mm Granular Pavement layer

• Application of a 9m seal (4m lanes + 0.5m shoulders)

For those 20 discreet sites identified as requiring realignment (notably, curve alignments) a new alignment would require survey, redesign and greenfield construction (to the standards detailed above). These works would be programmed on a priority basis, dependent on traffic volumes and volume of produce freighted. Present priorities include;

• Fergusons Lane

o To complete a freight route from Young to Junee, this project is in

collaboration with Junee Shire Council

o Envisaged to be funded under the Fixing Country Roads program,

FY15/16

• Morangeral Road (north)

o Short sections of this arterial route remain unsealed while further

sections are built to a standard inappropriate for late 20th century

heavy vehicles

• All intersections with State Roads

o With greater priorities elsewhere, Roads and Maritime Services (RMS)

are unable to provide support at these intersections which currently

block any use of A-Double Road Trains on key agricultural routes

o Intersections at Old Wagga Road and Tara-Bectric Road require

widening & acceleration lanes

• Trungley Hall Road (north)

o A key Council-operated route, one section remains at a deficient width

& construction standard for HPV’s

o In addition, two individual curves require realignment

• Old Cootamundra Road (east)

o Remains at deficient width for use by HPV’s

o Widening would allow for increased access to the GrainCorp Sub-

Terminal located on the outskirts of Temora, thereby securing the

future of a widely used item of infrastructure for across the northern

Riverina

It is envisaged that the funding for these projects be sourced primarily from existing programmes with additional financial support from State & Federal agencies where appropriate and required. Specifically, it is hoped that the highly successful ‘Fixing Country Roads’ program be utilised for Ferguson Lane Upgrade project followed closely by the Temora Heavy Vehicle Alternate Route project. In support of these key infrastructure upgrades, Council envisages commitment of its own funds for preconstruction, design and project management requirements with all incoming funds being dedicated to the delivery stages, undertaken by Councils Works Staff. In doing so, Council ensures these essential projects achieve best value for money by utilising Engineering standards appropriate for the area without diminishing the importance of safety. In utilising State & Federal funds for the delivery phases of these projects it also allows for timely delivery within the program time restraints, tailored to the broader financial cycles with their respective tiers of government. It is envisaged that the ‘Heavy Vehicle Safety & Productivity Program’ be utilised primarily for additional widening, curve realignments and intersection treatments required elsewhere within the Local Government Area. Any additional funds required (in excess of that particular programmes funding limits) would require input from Roads and Maritime Services (for intersection treatments at State Roads), Roads to Recovery funding and/or other sources, as-yet unknown. Over the ten year, or greater, period envisaged this amounts to $4.5M investment per year to secure the long-term viability and economic security of Temora Shire and her neighbouring Local Government Authorities. While it is difficult to fully quantify the long-term impact of these developments, the following points are important to consider;


20/08/2015 196 of 235

Temora Heavy Vehicle Alternate Route

• Access from the Newell Highway to Wagga Wagga/Bomen Intermodal

Terminal for A-Double/Modern Road Train and B-Triple freight

• Best access for A-Double/Modern Road Train and B-Triple freight from the

Griffith Food Bowl to the Hume Highway and, by extension, the Sydney ports

• Utilisation of HPV’s at a Local & Regional level for access to Temora’s Grain

Terminals

• Improved safety within the Temora CBD

• Allow for improved development within Temora (infrastructure for Light

Vehicles possible with Heavy Vehicles removed from town centre)

• Best value for money delivery in utilising Council Engineering & Works Teams

Temora Shire Local Road Heavy Vehicle Upgrades

• Securing viability of local & regional agriculture for the ensuing future

• Safer road networks for local users and through-traffic

• Improved transport efficiencies in ‘first & last mile’ scenarios, allowing for

broader use of HPV’s

• Long-Term sustainability of agriculture within region through appropriate

linkages with central Grain Terminals

Other Considerations

The growth of the middle-class within Asia, most particularly China, is to create a demand on Australian produce that will allow the Riverina to flourish in the 21st century. To best take advantage of these demographic changes abroad, it is imperative that significant & long-lasting investment be made now for those areas to meet the demands of the future. Contrary to many of her neighbouring townships, Temora continues to buck the trend of the shrinking, rural community, sustaining a consistent positive population growth, sourced from both urban relocators and rural citizens alike. Consistent and steady growth such as this provides a stable platform on which infrastructure investment can be made in the knowledge that the community is already thriving into a long-term, sustainable future. With consideration for the large-scale developments in the surrounding region, notably the Bomen Intermodal Terminal at Wagga Wagga but also the intermodal terminals located at Junee & Cootamundra, it becomes clear that for optimal utilisation of these facilities a link to the Newell Highway – and by extension, the Interstate Freight Network – is essential. Several options exist to solve this issue, the most obvious being an alternate route in or around the Temora township, a motion that the Council & people of Temora embrace with enthusiasm. The removal of this impediment to HPV access east of the Newell would impact the freight movement patterns to a significant degree, inducing millions of dollars of economic activity within the initial year alone. With a firm track-record of financial prudence, organisational reliability and high-quality & appropriate Engineering standards, the Temora Shire Council are the best placed agency to deliver solutions to these challenges of the 21st century within the region. With the support of State & Federal Governments in providing the required


20/08/2015 197 of 235

infrastructure for our agricultural industries to flourish, Temora Shire Council are able to continue to ensure the area remains robust, sustainable & prosperous. For Councils Information Report by Neil Ogilvie

4 ENGINEERS UPDATE - AUGUST, 2015(R/03/99) REPORT Work continues at the Old Cootamundra Road culvert with an expected completion date prior to October 2015. Delays have been due to lack of availability of certain materials and wet weather, hampering efforts to complete the work. Reconstruction of the Five Ways Intersection, now a year overdue, has been assured for completion prior to October 2015 for use in the 2015 harvest. In conjunction with this, upgrade works shall be taking place at Temora Aerodrome, specifically construction of a helicopter pad, reconstruction of a taxiway, upgrade works to Tigermoth Avenue, pouring of a concrete slab at the Jet Fuel facility and construction of the additional aprons for Warbirds 2015. The Peters Creek bridge-size culvert project continues and is currently nearing completion. Preconstruction works are currently underway for the RMS Heavy Patching Programme, commencing in late October 2015. With my working from home in September 2015 I shall be undertaking a series of comprehensive desk-based projects that have been delayed due to availability of time. These include;

• Drafting of a 2-year Gravel Winning & Crushing Tender • Drafting of a 3+1+1 Sewer Rehabilitation Tender • Completion of the Shire Emergency Management Plan • Drafting of a Long-Term Parking Strategy for the Temora Township • Drafting of a Wildlife Hazard Plan for Temora Aerodrome • Commencement of drafting a package for the 16/17 Mineral Resource Audit

The drafting of the Temora & Ariah Park Stormwater Management Plans has recently been awarded to Mitchbrook Construction to be undertaken by Mr. Steve Carmichael, former Director of Engineering for Temora Shire Council. The Executive Team is confident these services represent best value for money in completing this project. At the time of writing, interviews continue for selection of a new Bitumen Maintenance Team Leader, delayed due to sickness with an internal applicant. It is hoped that an applicant can be selected shortly for commencement in role as promptly as possible. Report by Neil Ogilvie For Councils Information

2 WAGES PROJECTIONS AND BUDGET CONSEQUENCES(F/02/01)

REPORT Council’s estimates for the 2015/2016 year were based on wage increases of 4%. This resulted in a total wages cost of $7,621,426 including on costs.

Following advice of an award increase of 2.7% and wage adjustments following performance reviews, it has been determined that the total wages cost will be $7,458,240.

The projected saving of $163,186 is dependent on amount of overtime worked and any further wage increases during the year. However, this does allow Council some discretion in future employee negotiations and will assist in the bottom line at year end.
