• The plan to be amended to show that parkland is required for all area behind 3.

• Landscaping will need to incorporate the seawall structure – there are no engineering drawings yet.

• The grey node near five has been designated a fishing area by Urbis.

• Discussion still being held with the Public Transport Authority on whose responsibility the bridge is. The City may consider taking responsibility in perpetuity if the railway bridge is upgraded as a dual-use path.

• Matt Eliot suggests that the floodgates will need to be raised 1 metre in 20-30 years time.

At this time the Consultant flicked to Slide 62 – water playground.

• This space would work best if there were events scheduled there for every week of the year.

• Consultant to further investigate the proposal for single lanes in each direction along Blair Street with parking on the side as this may be problematic.

• The restaurant and bar could be on pylons or could be a barge.

• The Centrepoint complex parking is a lost opportunity to have retail facing out onto the water.

• Bicentennial Square itself needs upgrading. The level changes don’t conform to the BCA and some minor modification may be required to meet safety requirements.

• There may not be a need for so many new buildings.

• Train carriages could be used for hospitality uses.

♦ The possibility of food vendors should be considered once the square has been cleaned up.

• Rumble bricks and bollards would work well on the Blair Street strip.

• Seawalls and sandtraps – not groynes.

• Sandbags or precast concrete is suitable for pedestrian use.

• There is a proposal for the dragon boats to be relocated to a site next to the Sea Scouts.

• The boardwalk could be paved or timber.

• The backing to the boardwalk will be set at a continuous height of 1.6m which is the flood level that the water will reach when the gate is shut.

• There is the opportunity for there to be interpretative paving.

• There needs to be shade, seating and water fountains to encourage the elderly to use the Inlet.

• The brown sections are where the damaged pieces of wall would be removed and replaced by a wall/levy that would allow for natural accretion and planting of vegetation.

• Note should be made in the report that there are some residents who are prepared to take responsibility for mini-community gardens.

• Any additional jetties should not intrude on the rowing course.

• Each node should have signage outlining the heritage of the area.

• It is proposed to reconfigure the carpark (63 bays).

• The park is a representation of the local river system – Collie/Preston River catchment – in the summer water will be pumped and in winter the streams will run naturally.

• The Mya Mya is to appear on the southern-most headland.

• The timber boardwalk is to introduce a softer material to slow down the pace. Disabled access is shown as timber but may end up being concrete at the bottom.

• Bicycle and kayak rental should be located near area 3.

• Area 4 is 300-400mm higher than area 12.

• Trees will be low except at the adventure playground to reduce the extent of the heat from the hard surfaces. Shade canopies will be over some of the play equipment. Neither the trees nor the shade sails will be high enough to block the view from the bridge.

• Looking at ficus/fig trees/NZ Xmas tree and perhaps relocating some of the plane trees from the South West Sports Centre.

• Lighting has been allowed for – security and aesthetic. Aesthetically it would be nice to have lighting on the underside of the bridge and on the arbours.

• There is wedding and function space available at area 10.

• Issues surrounding the use of concrete, mulch, wood area all made in the detailed design stage.

At this stage the Consultant returned to Slide entitled CBD.

• The arbour at the entry pavilion symbolises reaching out over the path symbolising the friendship of the Sister Cities.

• The design has been drawn up in accordance with CEPTED principles: low vegetation, a clear zone, no hiding spaces.

• There is lighting for security.

• The signs are going to be in English/Chinese and English/Japanese. There may be a need to look at splitting the Chinese and Japanese plans.

• A lowscale fence upgrade may be possible between the skatepark and the garden.

• 2.0 Community Vision

♦ The section was put together by Jenny George. ♦ The importance of the community vision is outlined at the beginning of the

section ♦ The outcome of the consultation is provided.

• 3.0 Understanding the Leschenault Inlet

♦ Builds the background for the decision making process. ♦ Makes use of the information collected by the Consultants ♦ Outlines the existing Open Space and its size ♦ Deals with land tenure/landuse ♦ Provides information on the road network ♦ Outlines traffic studies undertaken over the last five years ♦ Refers to the Landscape Character/Visual Assessment undertaken by the

City in 2010. ♦ Refers to the recreational uses around the Inlet ♦ Page 24 refers to the Heritage of the site. ♦ Appendix still to be included, awaiting from Jenny George. ♦ Discusses the shipwrecks at Lots 881, 882 and 883 Koombana Drive. ♦ Deals with environment/climatic factors ♦ Stormwater at the lake proposed in the Setagaya Friendship Garden

appears to be making the lake function in the right way. Stormwater is draining from the CBD.

♦ Mark Goodlet has stressed that further investigation is required into heavy metals (p.29).

♦ The estuary is now a salt-water embayment. It can no-longer be the same environment as it was and will get progressively muddier. The mangroves will thrive on this. The wind and tide will continue to push the sediment up towards the Koombana Drive Causeway.

♦ There is very little information with regard to acid sulphate soils (p.30) – Mark Goodlet put this information together based on investigations on Koombana North.

♦ A fountain in the Koombana Inlet should cause no problems as long as the Department of Water are happy with it.

♦ Along Stirling Street and the Frank Buswell Foreshore a more natural edge is proposed. This will make the area more protected and will create new fish habitats.

♦ Pages 33 and 34 were prepared using information from Matt Eliot. This looks at all the different walls, rated their condition, function, future life and provided information on when adaptation would be required for climate change. The wall o Koombana Drive should be dealt with immediately.

♦ Geoff Klem advised that the Stirling Street boatramp had now been completed and currently more parking was being discussed.

• 4.0 Strategies and Driving Principles

♦ Destinations and Connections outlines the driving principles guiding the development of the plan.

♦ 4.1.3 The yellow beach path has not been dealt with as it is outside the study area.

• 5.0 Leschenault Inlet Precincts

♦ Overall plan/context ♦ With regard to 5.2 (Water Playground), Matt Eliot had indicated that the

beach would not require replenishment for 10 years. ♦ Discussion took place on implementation and budget bids. ♦ The proposed trees will leave the view of the City from the bridge largely

unobstructed. Shade trees are required to make the water playground welcoming.

♦ This proposal incorporates some of the aspects of Synergy Park. ♦ 5.3 Precinct 3 – Bicentennial Square: the jets shown are actually proposed

to be smaller, just a mister to lower the temperature. It is proposed that colourful plants, manageable and effective could be concentrated in one area – these would need to be highly maintained and could contain seasonal colour.

♦ The shared street to function the same as Lake Street in Northbridge. ♦ The introduction of numerous cafes along the Inlet (throughout the

Masterplan) will work as long as they all serve different cuisine. ♦ Bicentennial Square will work best if free Wifi is provided there, this will

encourage backpackers and students. It would work well if this free service could be extended not only to include Victoria Street but also Bicentennial Square.

♦ The pathway shown on p.59 in front of the Bunbury Yacht Club cannot be undertaken until further information is received from the yacht club on the security measures they will put in place after removing the fence and how access will be managed to the boat pens.

♦ Precinct 5 – The Quays, parking needs to be maintained. Provision of retail would improve the aspect of the area however the hotel only works due to the parking opposite it.

♦ 5.9 Precinct 9 – Koombana Tourism (page 70) may change. ♦ 5.10 Precinct 10 – Koombana Mixed Use only suggests managing the

existing park better for use by younger children.

• 6.0 Management Strategies

♦ Rather than discuss public artwork, exploration of techniques and methods were investigated.

♦ Waterplay should be themed around the inlet. ♦ Other avenues include: education tours; naming places; telling stories;

cleanup/environmental trails; web info; branding.

• 7.0 Implementation

♦ Refer to page 92 for proposed implementation ♦ Refer to page 93 for short-term projects which are relatively easy to

implement and require less capital cost. Some short-term possibilities included: a carriage in Bicentennial Square; bike-kayak hire perhaps also in Bicentennial Square; installation of semi-permanent umbrellas and more trees on the Graham Bricknell lawn.

♦ Options, implementation and budget bids were discussed. The Consultant will now:

• Obtain the missing Appendix from Jenny George

• Remove information/table on flooding that is based on there being no floodgates when there are floodgates in place.

• Include information about the Heritage area on page 27.

• Prepare two reports: one for Council; one for public comment.

• Change the fauna shown on page 32 to reflect species that may be found in the Inlet.

• Under 5.1 Koombana North on p.47, the toilet block needs to be amended to read shelter.

• Ensure that the entrance to the carpark as shown on page 49 under 5.2 Precinct 2 – Koombana South is in accordance with Australian Standards based on the roundabout remaining in use.

• Adjust the perspective on p.55 to ensure that the shared street is more obvious (perhaps include a car).

• Ensure that the blossom boulevard mentioned on p.58 reflect the blossoms that have been/will be planted in the two separate gardens.

• Ensure additional words are added on p.67 to show the reinstatement of the pedestrian bike link.

• Remove reference to a Tuart Forrest on p.68.

• Add in a legend on p.89.

• Ensure that the final report is received in time to be distributed to Councillors prior to the Briefing.

The Project Management Group advised that they were very excited by the Masterplan and thought it to be a very professional document. They noted that they had enjoyed dealing with the Consultants during this process. Geoff Klem advised that he would discuss further alterations with Anna at their meeting on Monday 19/11/2012. The conference call concluded at 11:20am. Further discussion was held with regard to:

• Funding options.

• Once Council has endorsed the plan for public advertising it would be possible to take the proposal to the: State Government; South West Development Commission Board, Ministerial Taskforce; and South West Regional Planning Committee.

• The Communication Strategy would need to be worked out with Kate Bartels but would ideally include a static display including the model, and media releases.

• There may be some funding available in various programs of the Federal Government.

• Asset management, long-term costs of the works would be determined through the Detailed Design.

• The last grand vision to alter the face of Bunbury was Bunbury 2000. The Leschenault Inlet Masterplan is visionary and will leave its footprint on the City.

• A meeting will need to be held of the Project Management Group after the close of the submission period so that submissions can be reviewed.

Cr Kelly attended the meeting following discussions with the Withers Action Group last week regarding the Withers Action Plan. The plan contains 33 particular actions the Group would like to see completed, through the Council commitment of $300,000 per year over 5 years. Four of these items were subject to the advice of the Roadwise Committee. Jason advised that projects 14, 17 and 31 are projects that the City of Bunbury would usually deal with on an operational basis as part of normal business. Project 17 – Jason advised that if the side road meets the main road at a T-junction, its not usual activity to have a stop sign/line, but it will be referred to Main Roads for investigation. Project 31 - Jason will follow up as to whether this is formally recognised as a black spot, or just a high accident area. A road safety audit can be undertaken at that intersection, but this will be costly. Jason advised that the City of Bunbury can look into these issues and propose actions to be taken, but would prefer some clarification from the Withers Action Group as to specific concerns with each project – for example is the issue hooning, road design or vision being impaired by overgrown trees etc. Cr Kelly will provide a copy of the minutes to the Withers Action Group in order to obtain written clarification. As part of the discussion on Project 31, the Committee suggested that there are more safety concerns at the intersection of Ocean Drive and Hudson Rd, not Ocean and Ashmore. Cr Kelly will provide this feedback to the Withers Action Group.

10.3.2 Maria raised the issue of inconsistencies with GPS units tracking speed limits. Alan will follow up with their IT Department as to whether updates will be real time, or what the lag is between updates.

10.3.3 Tegan raised with MRWA that on the MRWA website there is no data about the South West but other regions are updating their section regularly. Alan showed where on the websit the data is actually being displayed. Tegan suggested the unused section be removed to avoid confusion.

10.4.3 Alan provided an update on heavy vehicles training in the CBD. There

should be no heavy vehicles in the City from the end of the month, as the learner vehicles assessment route will not be in Bunbury in the future.

File Ref: A04051 Applicant/Proponent: Internal Report Author: Greg Golinski, Manager Corporate Performance Executive: Andrew Brien – Chief Executive Officer Attachments: Appendix 1: Copy of CEO policies as revised

Appendix 2: Copy of Corporate Guidelines relating to CEO policies

Summary The purpose of this report is for Council to consider the adoption of revised and restructured CEO Policies that are required to comply with Council’s recently adopted framework for policy creation and review.

Executive Recommendation

That the Policy Review and Development (Standing) Committee recommend that Council adopt the following revised Chief Executive Officer Administrative policies as presented at Appendix 1:

CEO1: Advertisement Appeals Policy CEO2: Annual Performance Appraisal and Salary Review CEO3: Civic Commendations CEO4: Councillor Access to Information CEO5: Economic Development CEO6: Honorary Freeman of the City of Bunbury CEO7: Guidelines for the Establishment and Operation of Council

Advisory Committees CEO8: Legal Representation for Council Members and Employees CEO9: Media Statements CEO10: Community Funding

Background At the September 2012 Meeting of the Policy Review and Development (Standing) Committee, it was resolved that the committee endorse the proposed method of review for existing policies, in that they be revised by the relevant directorate and referred back to committee for consideration. It was determined that the CEO policies be reviewed, revised and amended before referring back to committee in the newly adopted Policy Framework as the first matters of policy to undergo review.

Page 5

These policies were considered by the Policy Review and Development (Standing) Committee at its meeting held on 30 October policies, where it was resolved to refer the policies to a future meeting of the Committee, which would enable Officers to incorporate the suggested modifications raised by Committee members in discussion. Council Policy Compliance There are no Council policies that relate to the creation and adoption of policy. Legislative Compliance

Every Council policy notes any relevant references to legislation and other statute where applicable. Officer Comments The CEO policies as at appendix 1 and as revised provide clear direction for Council and staff in the implementation of processes relative to each of the policy topics. Where applicable, a Corporate Guideline complements a Council Policy in line with the policy framework recently adopted by Council. Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications There are no financial or budgetary implications likely to arise from the proposed adoption of these reviewed policies. Community Consultation There is no requirement for community consultation on these matters as they merely identify Councils strategic objectives in relation to the issues to which they refer. Councillor/Officer Consultation This report to committee serves to draw to the attention of elected members the proposal to adopt these revised policies. Committee Outcome The meeting was adjourned (closed) prior to a formal determination being made on this matter. Some additional comments were received from Committee members in relation to a number of the attached policies, which will be incorporated for discussion at the next meeting of this Committee. As a result, this report (with the policy amendments discussed) will be re-tabled at the next meeting of the Policy Review and Development (Standing) Committee.

It was suggested to cover the upper windows above the Council Chambers entrance with blinds.

5. Not for Profit Accommodation Stirling Street Arts Centre and Jaycee Park Project - Community Consultation Dom Marzano of Psycorp will address the Project Management Group on the Community Consultation Plan for the project. Outcome – Not for Profit Accommodation Stirling Street Arts Centre and Jaycee Park Project Management Group Meeting 30 August 2012 Dom addressed the Project Management Group and handed out two timelines (numbered 1 and 2) which are attached at Appendices M2 and M3 respectively. The following discussions took place: - For the consultation with the Stirling Street Arts Centre, Dom will contact Margaret

Perkins and ask that she invite whoever she thinks is pertinent. SSAC representatives will be asked who they would like to see consulted and what like/similar organisations they would like to see located on the site.

- Questions to the different groups will not be standardised. Whilst questions will be similar some information would be missed if they were not tailored to the individual groups.

- Compatibility of use at the sites is important. Some organisations require a level of confidentiality for their clients.

- The residents of Lotteries House will be consulted. - Reports previously prepared by CT Management and JM Community Developments

are background material – the current study will not be reliant on these reports. It was noted that in the previous consultation groups were asked whether they wished to be located in the CBD or not.

- As many people as possible must be written to and advised as soon as possible to ensure the groups all know what is happening. Information should contain the aims and objectives of the study and should note the earlier reports and consultation undertaken.

- Kate Bartels will produce Media Releases. - Caris Gibson will distribute the information through SWAP, recreational distribution,

cultural distribution and business networks (BCCI). - Liz will send out letters to individual groups and manage the RSVP’s. The letters

should go out ASAP and clubs should be given two weeks to RSVP. - The SSAC site will be the cultural hub (those requiring office

space/support/administrative space) and the Jaycee Park site will be for other groups (service delivery centres/storage).

- One of the conditions of the LotteryWest funding is that the new Lotteries House would need to be within the CBD.

- The Jaycee Park site has room for parking, is close to the train station and is relatively unconstrained. Whilst the function of this site as a local park is limited as it is not central to a residential or urban settlement area, the design is to include open space.

- Option 1 would allow a larger period of public consultation on the final report as it would mean that the Council would consider this at its last meeting in December and then the report could go out to the public until the end of January 2013.

- LotteryWest hope to receive a report which will provide advice which they will be able to use for not-for-profit organisation requests for funding and which provides a blueprint to work with.

- Analysis should take into account long-term projects and those organisations who exist for a finite period to provide a particular service. This will help in the long-term planning.

The Committee then put to the vote which timeframe they would like to see followed. Committee Decision: Moved Cr Jones Seconded Felicity Anderson

That Option No.1 of the Community Services Site Feasibility Stirling Street Arts Centre and Jaycee Park Community Consultation options is to be followed for this process.

6. Not for Profit Accommodation Stirling Street Arts Centre and Jaycee Park Project – Master Plan Gary Barbour of TME will address the Project Management Group on the proposal for the Master Plan for the project. Outcome – Not for Profit Accommodation Stirling Street Arts Centre and Jaycee Park Project Management Group Meeting 30 August 2012 Gary addressed the Project Management Group. The following discussions took place: - The TME component is heavily driven by community consultation. The needs of the

groups need to be synthesized and with a view to the spatial allocation on both sites.

- Compatibility is important, both with the other groups on the site, and with the surrounding neighbourhood.

- The hardest part of the project will be filtering out the genuine needs as opposed to the wants.

- It is the needs and compatibility that will determine the whether a group should be housed and where.

- Research will be undertaken on the sites/requirements (analysis of drainage, crossovers, parking, water, sewerage, walkability/accessibility, etc.). Research previously undertaken will be used for comparison. Ultimately, a bus tour of other Lotteries Houses should be organised to determine their experience.

- At the design stage the timeframes will again need to be revisited and a workshop should be considered.

- TME will report on the servicing requirements after the needs analysis and determination on who should be placed on each site. This is foreseen as being

completed at the end of November. A draft will be ready after the first round of specialist groups – looking at the end of October, early November.

- It was agreed that where possible, meetings of the Project Management Group that involved Consultants should be booked a month in advance.

- As the earliest date that the Consultants will have preliminary results of the public consultation is the end of October, it was agreed that the next meeting of the Project Management Group and representatives of TME and Psycorp should be booked for the 1st or 2nd of November 2012.

- off will provide TME with information regarding the Friendship Parks as the interface and pedestrian access will need to be considered.

Community Consultation Dom Marzano of Psycorp will address the Project Management Group on the Community Consultation Plan for the project. Outcome – Not for Profit Accommodation Stirling Street Arts Centre and Jaycee Park Project Management Group Meeting 11 November 2012 Dom Marzano of Psycorp and Gary Barbour of TME together addressed the Project Management Group. Please refer to the PowerPoint presentation (attached at Appendix M1) for what was discussed. Dom noted: * Whilst the user groups at the Stirling Street Arts Centre listed issues with the Centre

in its current state, they were appreciative of the use of the Centre. * Groups felt it important that rehearsal space be included in any new centre as the

cost of hiring the BREC rehearsal space was cost-prohibitive. * Whilst the presentation deals with two categories being requirements of greater than

200m2 and requirements of less than 200m2, for the purpose of planning a further breakdown had been made within the less than 200m2 category.

* A copy of the PowerPoint presentation would be provided to Liz Allan for attachment to the Minutes.

* A meeting between Dom Marzano, Kate Bartels, Liz Allan and Geoff Klem will need to be held to discuss advertising and marketing.

* Most groups were happy with the idea of joint spaces such as: meeting rooms, libraries, display spaces and Reception.

* Dom will contact Lotteries direct to see if there are any other groups the City was previously unaware of. Liz Allan to provide contact details.

* The Jaycee Park site may be better housing some stand alone buildings (for those requiring approximately 1000m2) and then one building for the others located there to share. A strata title arrangement may be most suited.

* It is foreseen that at least a portion of the new Stirling Street Arts Centre site would need to be two-storey.

* Servicing on the sites has been looked into and there are no constraints on either site. Some services may need to be relocated within the site depending on the outcome.

* A map/plan showing where the services are located will be forwarded to Liz Allan for distributing to the Project Management Group (attached at Appendix M2).

The Project Management Group noted: * It is important that shared meeting rooms are made available to all groups. * Neville Dowling will provide details on the ownership of the land adjoining the

Jaycee Park site. * There may be a need for the proposals for the two sites to be advertised individually

when the time comes. * There is a need to include flexible space in the plan for groups that might need

short-term space in an ‘incubator hub’ type arrangement. * Geoff Klem and Neville Dowling will be meeting with LotteryWest on 29 November

2011 at which stage anything applicable associated with pre-election will be discussed.

Executive Recommendation That Council; 1. Approves the allocation of funds to the creation of an annual Leeuwin Youth Advisory Council Member of the Year Prize. 2. Approves the full cost of the Youth Explorer Voyage to be awarded ($1,800/voyage for 2013). Background The Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that operates sailing voyages aboard the Leeuwin II, Western Australia’s own Tall Ship. The Foundation runs a youth development program aimed at participants aged fourteen (14)-twenty five (25) which centres on a seven (7) day/six (6) night Youth Explorer Voyage. Voyages both depart and arrive from Fremantle, Bunbury, Busselton and Monkey Mia. During this time participants learn everything there is to know about sailing a ship; from hauling lines, climbing the rigging, stowing sails, cleaning the ship, scaling the masts, taking the helm and navigating. The aim of the program is for participants to sail the ship themselves for the last day of the voyage.

There are up to forty (40) participants on each voyage (and fifteen (15) staff) hailing from a range of backgrounds and locations who will have to learn to work, rest and play together throughout the voyage. All participants are expected to develop key life skills in four broad areas:

1. The concept of self 2. Communication skills 3. Teamwork 4. A sense of community

In 2010 the City allocated a total of $7,900 to the Foundation from which only two scholarships were awarded, thus leaving a balance of $5,050. Generally, local governments nominate their own candidates to participate in these voyages, and choose to offer them full or partial scholarships. Often fundraising initiatives are undertaken to fund the excess if partial scholarships are awarded. Council Policy Compliance N/A. Legislative Compliance N/A. Officer Comments It is proposed that a panel comprising of three (3) City of Bunbury nominees (one staff member and two Councillors) will select the recipient of the Leeuwin Prize to acknowledge outstanding leadership both within the Youth Advisory Council and in the community.

Page 5

It is also proposed that selection will be based upon the following criteria. That is, the Leeuwin Prize recipient is a young person who;

1. consistently demonstrates leadership within the YAC and amongst the community

2. actively participates in community affairs and events 3. demonstrates dedication to excellence in all facets of life (including YAC, home,

school and sporting life) 4. is supportive, encouraging and empathetic of other young people 5. is a YAC Committee member or regular attendee of the City of Bunbury Youth

Reference group (consecutive attendance more than three months).

Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications There are no immediate implications on the relevant budget however if the scholarship prize is to be ongoing funds will need to be allocated in future budgets, or external funding will need to be investigated.

Community Consultation It is proposed that this prize will be made known to current Youth Advisory Council members and possible future members at promotional activities to encourage future participation in the Council should ongoing funding be available. Councillor/Officer Consultation This item brings the matter to Council’s attention. The Council representatives on this Committee are aware of the proposal.

10.3.1 Terms of Reference Recommendation Update Isabell advised that the new Terms of Reference of the Youth Advisory Council Committee were approved by Council at their meeting on 30 October 2012. These can be viewed on the first page of these Minutes. 10.3.2 Review of Community Representation Recommendation Update Isabell advised that the Committee’s recommendations regarding the immediate future of the Committee were approved by Council at their meeting on 30 October 2012. Thus, the terms of the five (5) current community representatives; Carlee Brien, Gioia Parkes, Jack Manoni, Samuel Rigg and Luke Rigg; are extended until October 2013. Further, nominations for the remaining five (5) positions have been opened. Finally, the Committee will meet bi-monthly. Isabell advised that nominations have thus been opened and have been advertised in local print and radio media, via Facebook and through appropriate networks. Nominations will close Friday 23 November 2012, however in the interim Isabell invited nominee Sean Smith to attend the meeting to learn more about the work of the Committee, hence his attendance. Upon the closure of the nomination period, Isabell suggested a special December meeting be held to welcome the new Members, then a return to the bi-monthly schedule in 2013. This was met with approval by the Committee. 10.3.3 Meeting Schedule Following the cancellation of October’s meeting due to the inability to reach quorum, Isabell suggested that the Committee revert to the original meeting schedule of the first Wednesday of every second month. Committee members expressed support for this idea as given their busy schedules keeping a consistent day of the week for meetings is best practice. Carlee suggested however that if upon notice of the next meeting a large number of Members are unable to attend (ie quorum will not be reached), the option to reschedule the meeting to the second Wednesday of that month will be made available. This is to ensure meetings are held on a regular basis and to avoid four (4) month gaps if initial meetings are indeed cancelled. Councillor Leigh informed the Committee that Councillor Steele has unfortunately had to resign from the Committee due to work commitments and he passed on her disappointment. 10.3.4 Promotion of the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) Councillor Morris questioned the Committee Members on their friends and classmates knowledge of the YAC. Isabell mentioned that the Community Development Team will conduct a promotional visit at Manea College this Friday 9 November and ABC Radio will be conducting interviews. Samuel and Luke mentioned they have friends who have previously expressed interest in attending however often forget. Isabell suggested to Members that they

ask interested friends if their mobile phone number would like to be added to the distribution list so that they can be reminded of meetings in advance. Action: Samuel and Luke to promote distribution list.

10.3.5 Australia Day Youth Zone 2013 All present Community Committee Members expressed interest in volunteering at the event for another year for the duration of the afternoon; from 4:00pm – 8:30pm. Upon Councillor Morris’ encouragement the Committee discussed possible activities, and although Isabell mentioned that in accordance with event planning schedules much of the Youth Zone was already arranged, the Committee would like to pursue the possibility of including water-based activities such as a dunking machine and fenced off water-bomb area. Isabell will research the viability of these options in terms of public safety, available space and available resources. Councillor Morris mentioned the Lions or Rotary may have such a machine. If one is available Committee members will discuss which members of the community they would like to ‘dunk’ and write invitation letters accordingly. Carlee expressed interest in the activities of the Youth Zone being directed to an older age range than in previous years, and thus activities such as the circus workshops will not be included in the 2013 event. Samuel mentioned the success of the skate park activities facilitated by Freestyle Now, which will be engaged again for next year’s event. Members present at previous events expressed interest in the continuance of promotional sponsor merchandise such as the Polite In Public photo booth and small giveaways. Following this, Councillor Morris mentioned his son’s video recording capabilities, and that he could be engaged to record the skate park activity as well as the event in general. Councillor Morris also mentioned two local artists who may be interested in providing some free entertainment on the stage; Ben Wilson and Hayden Trantham. Isabell will pursue. Action: Isabell to investigate water activities and viability for Youth Zone, contact entertainment options. Committee Members to consider which Bunbury personalities they would like to ‘dunk.’

10.3.6 Urban Art Workshops Isabell informed the Committee of a series of three (3) urban art workshops which the City will be running in early January. 10.3.7 Formal Photos Councillor Leigh expressed concern at the lack of formal photos available of the Committee. It was suggested that once Committee nominations have closed and membership finalised for 2013, formal photos of the group be taken. This will be pursued once nominations have closed.

10.3.8 Website Update Carlee expressed interest in the Committee updating the Youth Advisory Council section of the City of Bunbury website. Members are charged with considering what they would like to include on the page and come to the next meeting with ideas in mind. Action: All members to research other websites and consider what they would like to see in the youth section of the CoB website.

10.3.9 Brochure Update

Isabell showed the Committee the only available brochure on the Youth Advisory Council (see Appendix A) and expressed that she would like to work with the Committee to develop new content which will be professionally designed and printed. The Committee are charged with considering what they would like included in an introductory brochure and are to bring solid ideas to the next meeting so that a design can be jointly created. Action: All members to consider what content and style they would like to see in a YAC brochure.

10.3.10 Meeting Locations

Carlee expressed interest in holding a meeting in the Council Chambers. Isabell will pursue and inform the Committee of the viability of this. Isabell mentioned that if viable, the Committee could make a presentation to Council asking for said permission. Action: Isabell to liaise with the Mayor’s office to assess the viability of this request.

10.3.11 Bunbury Waterfront Koombana North Precinct Redevelopment

Isabell informed the Committee on the City of Bunbury’s plans for the redevelopment of the Koombana North Precinct.
