DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST

In accordance with Regulation 8 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015 and Council’s adopted Code of Conduct, the Mayor requests Councillors to indicate whether they have, or are likely to have, a pecuniary interest (any pecuniary benefits or pecuniary detriment) or conflict of interest in any item on the Agenda.

TRANSFER OF AGENDA ITEMS

Are there any items, which the meeting believes, should be transferred from this agenda to the closed agenda or from the closed agenda to the open agenda, in accordance with the procedures allowed under Section 15 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

At each meeting of Council or a Council Committee there will be an opportunity for question to be asked by any member of the public. A question may either be in writing, or may be verbally asked at the meeting. You are reminded that the forum is designed to accommodate questions only. Neither the questions nor answers will be debated. A period of 15 minutes, if required, will be set aside and the Chairperson will endeavour to deal with as many questions as possible at each meeting. If a response to a question cannot be provided at the meeting a written response will be provided as soon as practicable. If time constraints do not permit all questions to be put, the Council will reply to any question that is put in writing. A Question must not relate to any matter that is listed on the agenda for the meeting. Questions in Writing – A member of the public may give written notice to the General Manager seven (7) days before a meeting of a question to be put to the meeting. The question will appear in the agenda of the meeting, and a written response will be recorded in the minutes. There is no standard form for such questions, but they should be clearly headed Question(s) on Notice. Questions asked at the Meeting – At the commencement of Question Time the Chairperson will ask members of the public present, if there are any questions, and if so what are those questions? This procedure is to permit the Chairperson to determine an appropriate time limit for Question Time and perhaps limit the opportunity for multiple questions, and to determine whether each question is appropriate. There is to be no discussion, preamble or embellishment of any question at this time. The Chairperson will then determine which of those questions will be accepted and will provide the reason for any refusal; will determine the order of the questions, and may set a time limit for Question Time. The Chairperson may require a question to be put on notice and in writing. A member of the public present may only ask one question at a time. The Chairperson may give preference to questions from other members of the public before permitting second or


further questions from a member of the public. The Chairperson may rule that a multi-part question is in fact two or more questions, and deal with them accordingly. The Chairperson may rule a question inappropriate, and thus inadmissible if in his or her opinion it has already been asked, is unclear, irrelevant, offensive or relates to any matter which would normally be considered in Closed Session. Lengthy preambles or introductions are discouraged, and the Chairperson may require that a member of the public immediately put the question.

QUESTIONS ON NOTICE FROM THE PUBLIC

At the time the Agenda was compiled there were no questions on notice from the public.

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE FROM THE PUBLIC

QUESTIONS ON NOTICE FROM COUNCILLORS

1 Collection Treatment of Organic Waste

At the Council meeting on 13 August 2018, Cr Bury asked the following question without notice to the General Manager, with a response that the question would be taken on notice: “At the Council meeting on 23 February 2015, I moved a Notice of Motion which was passed unanimously which read “That Council be provided with a detailed report on options to include waste management in Kingborough, with particular attention to the collection and treatment of organic waste.” I’ve searched the archives and cannot find any report being provided to Council. I appreciate that the issue was discussed as we developed our Waste Management Policy but my request is that the Notice of Motion be followed through on, that we are actually provided with a report as requested and moved unanimously. I think it would be particularly useful to have that report updated since waste management seems to be very much a moving target.” Officer’s Response: This matter was considered as part of the development of the Waste Management Strategy and the advice from the MRA and Associates, the consultants commissioned to help develop the strategy, was to consider food and organics collection in two stages due to the increased complexity associated with moving to a food organics collection. Notwithstanding this a detailed report on the current situation as regards the various collection and treatment options for food organics will be provided.

David Reeve - Executive Manager Engineering Services


2 Flowcon Truck At the Council meeting on 13 August 2018, Cr Grace asked the following question without notice to the General Manager, with a response that the question would be taken on notice: “Council have just replaced a Flowcon truck with another brand new Flowcon truck. How was the second hand one disposed of and what sort of money did Council achieve for the trade in?” Officer’s Response: Estimates were provided for the trade in amount of $25,000 for the previous 20 year old Flocon. The Flocon achieved $31,000 by means of auction amount from Manheim.


3 Sale of Grader, Bruny Island

At the Council meeting on 13 August 2018, Cr Grace asked the following question without notice to the General Manager, with a response that the question would be taken on notice: “How is Council proposing to sell the grader from Bruny Island as we have, in our budget this year, to replace that grader? How is Council undertaking to dispose of that grader and will a report come to Council?” Officer’s Response: Tenders have been prepared for the supply and delivery of a new Grader with the current Mitsubishi Grader to be traded as part of the process. A full report will be provided to Council on the recommendation.


4 Parking at the Post Office, Channel Court

At the Council meeting on 13 August 2018, Cr Bastone asked the following question without notice to the General Manager, with a response that the question would be taken on notice: “As people are aware, large parts of the municipality have no postal service and people have to collect their mail from the nearest post office. The mail delivery service centre in Browns Road is no longer allowing people to pick up parcels from there so people have to go to Channel Court to pick up their parcels. There is no parking anymore either in front of the post office or to the rear of the post office which used to be a pick up point and elderly people are still parking in the rear of the post office and they are being fined by our compliance officers. Is there no way that we can have some leeway on this as there is no alternative parking for people who are carrying heavy parcels?” Officer’s Response: Parking at Channel Court is the responsibility of the centre management as is the various signage and parking controls. Council Parking Officers patrol the area as part


of an agreement with the centre management but cannot change signage or choose not to enforce the conditions stated on the signage. Notwithstanding this further dialogue will be held with the centre management as regards this matter.


5 Oxley's Road At the Council meeting on 13 August 2018, Cr Bastone asked the following question without notice to the General Manager, with a response that the question would be taken on notice: “Oxley’s Road is in the process of being made and I’m wondering if Mr Reeve has been going down and watching because a large number of trees have now been cut down and just piled haphazardly all over the place and it is an absolute and utter mess. People are having trouble getting up and down their driveways.” Officer’s Response: The road widening and sealing works at Oxleys Road have necessitated removal of a number of roadside trees. One large tree in particular has been stored adjacent the road pending future disposal, but none are otherwise considered to be impacting on either road use or residential access. Some further trees in the area are still to be removed or lopped due to their proximity to high voltage power lines, which were relocated to facilitate the road construction.


6 Exposed Pipe in Roslyn Avenue At the Council meeting on 13 August 2018, Cr Bastone asked the following question without notice to the General Manager, with a response that the question would be taken on notice: “I know after the flooding there have been a lot of problems and a lot of work to do but in Roslyn Avenue, in fact in front of 31 Roslyn Avenue, there is a very large hole which has appeared in front of the people’s driveway but actually on Council land and there are plastic water pipes exposed. I’m just wondering when they are going to be repaired because it’s a very dangerous situation at the moment.” Officer’s Response: The property owner has previously been advised that driveway crossover’s are the property owner’s responsibility to maintain. It is understood the damage to the driveway occurred as part of the storm event that occurred in May 2018. Council officers will follow up with the property owner as to when it is intended for them to make the repairs.



7 Huon Highway / Summerleas Road Intersection At the Council meeting on 13 August 2018, Cr Atkinson asked the following questions without notice to the General Manager, with a response that the question would be taken on notice: 1 “I know there was a media release on the 9th August and they said that the work

was now complete. I wondered if we had any information when the temporary speed limit signs were going to be removed because that media release said that all the work was complete and that all the speed limits were back to normal.

2 When that development was initially proposed, there was public comment and

questions about pedestrian paths and cycle paths and what landscaping was going to be provided to improve the amenity of the pedestrian access through there. At the moment, there is some spray on grass on the dirt banks but I can’t see any other attempts to provide any landscaping of any sort. Do we have any information on further work that State Growth are going to do in that respect?”

Officer’s Response: 1 The Department of State Growth (DSG) has some minor tasks to complete as

part of the project and the temporary traffic management signs will be progressively removed as soon as these are complete which is expected to be around than the end of August weather permitting.

2 The Department of State Growth (DSG) has engaged Green Australia to

undertake tree and shrub planting as part of the project. The works are planned to start in late August and expect to take approximately 2 weeks subject to weather.


8 Australian Antarctic Division Response

Cr Winter submitted the following question on notice:

Has Council received a response from Minister Josh Frydenberg in relation to the reported relocation of the Australian Antarctic Division to Macquarie Point?

Officer’s Response:

At the time of writing this response Council had received a reply from Rob Bryson, Acting Director, AAD on behalf of Minister Frydenberg (refer below) but had not received a reply from Hon Tony Burke MP.


Gary Arnold - General Manager


9 Blackmans Bay Coastal Land Tenure and Coroner's Report

Cr Winter submitted the following question on notice:

What progress has been made to secure land tenure at the site commonly referred to as the Blackmans Bay blowhole? Does Council have any information on the likely completion date for the Coroner's report into the death of a young girl at the site in January 2017?

Officer’s Response:

Council’s solicitors have been tracing the descendants of the original owners of the land in order to serve the necessary notices required for acquisition. No advice has been provided in regard to a date for the Coroner’s Report.

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE FROM COUNCILLORS

MOTIONS OF WHICH NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN

Grants and Benefits Disclosure

The following Notice of Motion was submitted by Cr Atkinson : MOVED Cr Atkinson SECONDED That council staff produce a report and recommendations on how grants and benefits provided by Council to individuals and organisations, such as rates and rental subsidies, can be more transparently reported and placed on the public record.



Cr Bastone Cr Wass



Cr Fox

Background Section 77 of the Local Government Act 1993 states: 77. Grants and benefits


(1) A council may make a grant or provide a pecuniary benefit or a non-pecuniary

benefit that is not a legal entitlement to any person, other than a councillor, for any purpose it considers appropriate. (1A) A benefit provided under subsection (1) may include –

(a) in-kind assistance; and (b) fully or partially reduced fees, rates or charges; and (c) remission of rates or charges under Part 9 .

(2) The details of any grant made or benefit provided are to be included in the annual

report of the council. Currently Kingborough Council includes financial assistance and grants in its annual report. What is not itemised are rates subsidies or discounted rents of council land or facilities. Many lease agreements for council land or facilities are provided at a discounted rate where Council determines that the public good is served by relieving he the lessee from the financial burden of full commercial rental rates. Such reduced rental rates are effectively a grant; a decision by Council to forego revenue, and should be published to make the community aware of the where Council is supporting an organisation and to what extent. Putting these figures on the public record will provide visibility and allow a discussion of which organisations are receiving support and how their objectives align with Council's Strategic Plan. There are cases where the financial value of the rental subsidy is hard to quantify as an assessment of the commercial value hasn't been recently undertaken. The report should include recommendations on how to phase in such disclosure so as to minimise the additional expense to Council.

Officer’s Response: A report can be provided to Council.

ENDORSED BY TASHA TYER-MOORE - MANAGER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES -

PROPOSED NEW ROAD NAMES

1 PURPOSE

Strategic Plan Reference

Key Priority Area 2.0 Sustainable land use and infrastructure management.

Strategic Outcome 2.2 Community infrastructure is enhanced, replaced and maintained.

Strategy 2.2.1 Maintain a safe an efficient road transport network so that it provided easy access for the whole community.

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the proposed new road names for a current development within Kingborough.

2 BACKGROUND

2.1 The developer for the subdivisions of DAS-2013-42 and DAS-2018-3 at Spring Farm submitted three names for Council’s consideration.

2.2 The names have been researched so that no duplication appears within the state as required by the Nomenclature Board.

3 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

3.1 In the event of approval of the new road names requested, names will be submitted to the Nomenclature Board for notation in accordance with Section 20E of the Survey Co-Ordination Act 1944.

4 DISCUSSION

4.1 The developer provided three names for Council’s consideration. The road names proposed have each been supported by a description of the meaning or origin.

Proposed name O’Connor Drive - David O’Connor was the original grantee of 152 acres that formed part of what became known as Spring Farm. O’Connor was granted Lot 678 being 152 acres on 2/3/1841 and continued to own the property until 2/1/1853. The generic term of “Drive” describes this road well as it is a “wide thoroughfare allowing a steady flow of traffic without many cross roads”.

Proposed name Coop Court - Henry Coop purchased David O’Connor’s 152 acres on 2/3/1841. The general term of Court describes this road well, ie. “a short enclosed roadway”.

Proposed name Rodway Court - Leonard Rodway purchased the 152 acres originally granted to David O’Connor on the 31/12/1884. Although the application DAS-2018-3 has not yet been approved by Council, if Council


did approve the name of Rodway Court then the name could be “reserved” for another possible re-subdivision within the overall Spring Farm precinct.

5 FINANCE

5.1 There are no financial implications to Council.

6 COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION

6.1 The developer submitted three names for Council’s consideration.

6.2 The names were submitted to other metropolitan councils and Huon Valley Council for comment and there were no objections received.

6.3 The three names submitted for approval are O’Connor Drive, Coop Court and Rodway Court. The three road names are proposed for use within the current and proposed development known as Spring Farm at Kingston.

7 RISK

7.1 There are no risk implications to Council.

8 CONCLUSION

8.1 It is considered that the proposed new road names are appropriate for the subdivisions. The names are not replicated anywhere within Kingborough or adjoining municipalities.

9 RECOMMENDATION MOVED SECONDED That the following road names be approved and submitted to the Nomenclature Board:

O’Connor Drive (refer figure 1)

Coop Court (refer figure 1)

Rodway Court (refer figure 2)

OFFICERS REPORTS TO COUNCIL

DATE 24 JULY 2018

OFFICER KAYLENE ALLAN - CAT MANAGEMENT OFFICER

ENDORSED BY JON DOOLE - MANAGER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

PROPOSAL FOR A BRUNY ISLAND CAT BY-LAW TO FACILITATE MANAGEMENT OF DOMESTIC AND STRAY CATS ON BRUNY ISLAND

1 PURPOSE


Key Priority Area 3.0 A healthy natural environment

Strategic Outcome 3.1 The values of the natural environment are protected and enhanced through strategic and coordinated natural resource management

Strategy 3.1.3 Reduce the adverse impacts of invasive pest plant and animal species

1.1 To present the draft Bruny Island Cat By-law and Regulatory Impact Statements and to obtain Council approval for them to be submitted to the Director of Local Government for approval prior to public consultation.

2 BACKGROUND

2.1 Councillor workshops and reports on the Bruny Island Cat By-law were presented in 2015, 2016 and 2017 by the Kingborough Cat Management Officer – Kaylene Allan. The reports and workshops presented the background rationale, results of community consultation and the By-law implementation and funding plan.

2.2 The Bruny Island Cat By-law (No. 1 of 2018) has been drafted to facilitate the management of domestic and stray cats on Bruny Island and to complement control measures contained in the Cat Management Act 2009.

2.3 Cat management on Bruny Island has attracted support from both the Commonwealth and State governments, including significant funds to progress the long term management of the impacts of feral cats on the island. In addition, partnerships with a range of community, research and business organisations have been developed to complement the work being undertaken by the Commonwealth funded project.

OPEN SESSION OF COUNCIL RESUMES


2.4 The implementation of a Bruny Island Cat By-law will offer a model methodology and evaluation template to guide the possible future application of the approach within the broader Kingborough municipality and/or identified priority areas as well as potentially throughout Tasmania.


3.1 Under Sections 20 and 43 of the Cat Management Act 2009 and Section 145 of the Local Government Act 1993 (LGA) Council may create or amend By-laws with regards to cat management.

3.2 The Bruny Island Cat By-law has been prepared to complement and not duplicate or contradict controls contained within the Cat Management Act 2009. The By-law has been certified by lawyer David Rees as being in accordance with the law, including section 162(1)(a) of the LGA.

3.3 A Regulatory Impact Statement as required by the LGA has been prepared and fully assesses the future impact of the By-law.

4 DISCUSSION

4.1 The proposal for the Bruny Island Cat By-law is one key component of the broader Cat Management Strategy for Bruny Island. The strategy will be completed in 2019, once the current Commonwealth funded project is finalised. It will aim to guide the long term management of domestic, stray and feral cats on the island and to protect environmental, agricultural and social values.

4.2 Key components of the Bruny Island Cat By-law include the following critical controls:

a) Identification of cats - all domestic cats (over the age of 3 months) residing on Bruny Island must be micro-chipped.

b) Compulsory de-sexing of cats - all domestic cats (over the age of 3 months) residing on Bruny Island must be de-sexed.

c) Limits on cat numbers - the number of domestic cats per property is limited to 2 with the option of applying for a permit to keep more cats.

d) Effective control of cats - the owner or person in charge of a cat must ensure that the cat is not at large.

e) Prohibition on the feeding of stray or feral cats - person must not feed or encourage the presence of stray or feral cats.

f) Nuisance - a domestic cat must not create a nuisance.

4.3 Community compliance with key aspects of the By-law has been facilitated since 2016. Funding partnerships of $72,000 with the Ten Lives Cat Centre, Bruny Island Environment Network (BIEN) and Bruny Island Community Association (BICA) have enabled Council to engage cat owners over several years in order to optimise compliance and to avoid any unintended consequences, such as financial stress or the abandonment of cats. The activities have included offering free cat de-sexing, micro-chipping and rehoming; individual household support for containment; peer education from cat owners; and engagement of the school community.


4.4 A cat assessment and holding facility is being established at Council’s Alonnah site. It is due for completion by November 2018. The facility is being funded by Ten Lives Cat Centre ($33,000) and Council. The facility will provide a place to assess all cats captured; house and care for domestic and stray cats (for reclaiming or adoption); and where vets can perform de-sexing and micro-chipping. Importantly the facility will help to reassure cat owners that any domestic cats trapped under the By-laws or the broader feral cat trapping program will be safely returned to their owner.

4.5 Community liaison, education and enforcement of the By-law will be undertaken by the Bruny Island Aboriginal Community Ranger Program which is aiming to commence in July 2019. This involves a partnership between the weetapoona Aboriginal Corporation, NRM South, STEPS, Work and Training (a workplace training provider) and Council. It commenced in June 2018 with seed funding provided by NRM South. This project will be providing the training component of a long term Aboriginal Community Ranger Program.

4.6 The Community Ranger position could also service Council’s broader NRM enforcement and community liaison and education activities, as well as assisting with Council obligations under the Dog Control Act 2000, Weed Management Act 1999, Local Government Act 1993 and Council’s Health and Environmental Services By-law. Activities could include on-site inspections for tree removal requests, unauthorised vegetation removal, fire abatement, weed notifications and audits, implementation of the dog management policy and ‘Discovery Ranger’ summer education. Training and support will also be offered via the Parks and Wildlife Service and DPIPWE (Invasive Species Branch).

4.7 It is also hoped that the Community Ranger position on Bruny Island could provide community interaction and information provision on cultural and tourism matters as well as providing Aboriginal employment and training opportunities into the future.

5 FINANCE

5.1 It is anticipated that the cost of enforcement of the Bruny Island Cat By-law will be low. This is due to the staged implementation, the high level of compliance among cat owners currently and the broad support within the Bruny community for management of domestic, stray and feral cats.

5.2 It is hoped that from July 2019 Council would fund 0.4 FTE of the Aboriginal Community Ranger position for Bruny Island. This could leverage additional funds via wAC and related programs for the balance (0.4-0.6 FTE). The business case for such will be presented to Council as part of the 2019 / 2020 budget estimates process.

6 ENVIRONMENT

6.1 It is considered that the long term management of cats and protection of key biodiversity values (that may be impacted by cats) on Bruny Island will not be possible without the implementation of a Bruny Island Cat By-law. The By-law is required to prevent further recruitment of cats into the domestic, stray and feral cat populations, to minimise the adverse environmental, social and public health impacts of cats, and to facilitate the ongoing protection of domestic cats.


7.1 Consultation processes have been conducted both with the general Bruny community (2015/2016 and 2018) and with Bruny residents and rate payers who


own cats (2016/2017). Overall the results show that the majority of the Bruny Island community support the By-law.

7.2 The 2015/16 survey found over 80% support among respondents for the management of domestic cats (including compulsory de-sexing and micro-chipping). Overall 81% of respondents were in favour of some level of containment of domestic cats (with 62% of those in favour of 24hr containment) and 78% supported a limit on the number of cats per household.

7.3 The 2016/17 cat owner survey found that most households with cats on the island have de-sexed and micro-chipped cats (96% and 86% respectively) and the majority (86%) own only 1 or 2 cats. In addition 88% said the legal limit on the number of cats per household should be 1 - 3. The majority of cat owners provide some level of containment of their cats and 36% allow their cats to roam freely. Interestingly, together, the phasing in of compulsory cat containment and access to technical advice, cheap materials and building assistance were identified by 71% of households to help the transition to containment.

7.4 The 2018 Bruny Life survey found that 90 per cent of respondents (Bruny Island residents and ratepayers) support domestic cat management and feral cat eradication.

7.5 The Local Government Act 1993 requires Council to undertake public consultation and consider any representations prior to finalising By-laws.

7.6 The Cat Management Officer has been in contact with the majority of cat owners and community groups on Bruny Island. Information on the By-law will be distributed direct to these individuals and groups and placed in the Bruny News and Kingborough Chronicle. This will facilitate effective consultation with the key stakeholders on the island.

8 RISK

8.1 There is a risk of failing to meet all community expectations with regards to By-law requirements. However given the level of community consultation, support, engagement and demonstrated compliance, it is expected that community requests and complaints will be able to be effectively managed with limited resourcing.

8.2 There is a risk of non-compliance from a small minority of Bruny Island cat owners. Over time it is expected, that this issue will wane as cat owners and the broader community experience the benefits of the By-law.

8.3 From July 2019 Council will hopefully consider funding the 0.4FTE Aboriginal Community Ranger position. However given the broad role of this position, it is considered that these costs could be off-set by the position servicing Council’s broader NRM enforcement and community liaison and education requirements. If this was not the case then there may be a risk of the By-law not being adequately enforced on the rare occasions this might be necessary or that existing Council compliance staff would need to enforce the By-law.

9 CONCLUSION

9.1 For a number of years Kingborough Council has been at the forefront of local government cat management in partnership with the Tasmanian Conservation Trust.


9.2 The Cat Management Act 2009 has been partially enacted. However key enforcement provisions have not and the Act does not include issues relating to items (c), (d), (e) and (f) in paragraph 4.2 above. The implementation of the Bruny Island Cat By-law will complement and bolster the Act and be a prudent step towards the meaningful control of domestic and stray cats. The effectiveness of the proposed By-law has been fully explored as part of a Regulatory Impact Statement as required under the Local Government Act 1993.

9.3 Being an island, Bruny lends itself to a proactive approach to cat management and this could act as a barometer to how the approach might be applied elsewhere. Given the unique environmental values of Bruny Island and the high level of Federal and State government and community support, it is logical to introduce realistic control measures via the Bruny Island Cat By-law.

9.4 The Commonwealth funded Bruny Island Cat Management Project has facilitated community liaison and capacity building, scientific research to inform on-ground management, biosecurity initiatives and feral cat control activities at priority locations. This will complement and significantly enhance the effectiveness of the Bruny Island Cat By-law.

9.5 If the Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) is approved by the Director of Local Government, Council will publicly exhibit the proposed By-law and RIS and consider any submissions. Following this, a further report will be provided to Council in accordance with Section 159 of the Local Government Act 1993 Council will then consider the By-law in accordance with the further processes under Sections 160 and 161 of that Act.

10 RECOMMENDATION MOVED SECONDED That Council:

(a) Resolves to make the Bruny Island Cat By-law in accordance with Section 156 of the Local Government Act 1993;

(b) Submits the Bruny Island Cat Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) to the Director of Local Government for consideration in accordance with Section 156A of the Local Government Act 1993; and

(c) Publicly exhibits the Bruny Island Cat By-law in accordance with Sections 157 and 158 of the Local Government Act 1993 (subject to the RIS being certified as satisfactory).

1. Purpose and process of Regulatory Impact Statement When a Council seeks to make a new or significant By-law amendment, the Local Government Act 1993, requires that a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) be prepared. The preparation of an RIS requires Council to analyse the most efficient and effective options available to address a particular issue. The RIS is also required to identify whether the benefits provided by the new By-law outweigh the costs of any restrictions on competition or the potential adverse impacts on business. This requires an assessment of direct and indirect social, economic and environmental impacts of the proposed By-law and the alternatives considered. The Local Government Act 1993, under Section 156A, requires that, once the RIS has been prepared, Council must submit it to the Director of Local Government, Department of Premier and Cabinet for assessment. If the Director is satisfied that the RIS meets the statutory requirements, he or she will issue a certificate to that effect and Council may then commence the public consultation process. Pursuant to Section 158 of the Local Government Act 1993, copies of the By-law and the RIS are available by contacting Council by any of the following means: Telephone: 6211 8200 Fax: 6211 8211 E-mail: [email protected] Mail: 15 Channel Highway KINGSTON TAS 7050 Internet: www.kingborough.tas.gov.au In person: Kingborough Civic Centre Office hours: 8.30am to 5.00pm Copies of the documents are available upon request or may be viewed at the Council’s office. 2. By-law objectives The Bruny Island Cat By-law is designed to act as a mechanism for ensuring that Council can foster responsible cat ownership. This is necessary to protect the health and welfare of domestic cats and to manage the adverse impact of cats on key biodiversity, agricultural and tourism assets and on community relations and cohesion. Importantly it also respects the rights and needs of cat owners and protects the safety of cats.

Under Section 156A(2)(a) of the Local Government Act 1993 Councils are specifically required to outline the objectives of the By-law and the means of achieving those objectives. The following table summarises the various issues being addressed by the By-law, what the By-law will do to address these issues (the objectives) and how the By-law will achieve these objectives.


Issue Objective Means to achieve Objective

proceedings by complaint and summons.

A person is also required to supply name and address to an authorised officer.

Council has the authority to remove illegally placed articles from Council land and dispose of if not claimed by the owner.

3. Background The By-law has been prepared for the purposes of ensuring that there are additional powers relating to the impact of cats on biodiversity, agriculture and tourism values on Bruny Island that are not addressed in existing legislation. It complements and does not duplicate or contradict controls contained with the Cat Management Act 2009. Bruny Island has been identified nationally as an island with important high-risk native species (Woinarski et al. 2014; Dickman et al. 2010) under the Federal Government’s Threat Abatement Plan for Predation by Feral Cats (TAP) (DoE 2015a). Bruny Island is a sanctuary for nesting seabirds and shorebirds and has a wide diversity of other land dwelling mammals and birds. Ten of these terrestrial dependent mammal and bird species are listed as threatened (in either state or federal legislation) and twelve are of conservation significance. Many of these species have been identified as having a very high risk from cats (Woinarski et al. 2014). The By-law promotes responsible cat ownership in order to improve outcomes for native wildlife, livestock, cats and the community. It is a key component of the broader Cat Management Strategy for Bruny Island. The strategy has been drafted and will be finalised in 2019 once a cat management feasibility study is completed in 2018. The Strategy aims to guide the long term management of cats on the island and outlines community engagement, scientific research and on-ground management actions required to minimise the adverse impacts of cats on the environmental, economic and social values of Bruny Island. The By-law is being phased in over three years to optimise compliance and to avoid any unintended consequences, such as financial stress or the abandonment of cats. A range of community education and engagement activities have, and are being undertaken in partnership with TLCC, BIEN and BICA to support By-law implementation. The activities include offering subsidised cat desexing, microchipping and rehoming and individual household support for convenient and effective containment; peer education from cat owners; engagement of the school community; citizen science activities (wildlife monitoring and domestic cat tracking); development of a cat assessment and holding facility and a Community Ranger position.

The By-law would provide Council with an ability to control such circumstances as:

The unregulated breeding of domestic cats.

The accumulation and keeping of excess cats at a property.

The public nuisance, health and environmental risks associated with roaming and the keeping of domestic cats.

The feeding of stray cats (which enables them to continue to breed) without taking personal responsibility for them.


The prompt return of domestic cats to their owner should a cat stray from home.

The risks to roaming domestic cats from feral cat management activities (such as trapping), animal attack, injury and fatal diseases.

4. Potential restriction on competition The By-law does not provide restrictions on competition. The By-law refers only to the keeping of domestic cats. Cats kept for the purposes of breeding and sale, are dealt with separately under the Cat Management Act 2009. The By-law provides guidance on the process to apply for a permit, where a person is seeking to keep more than 2 cats on a premises. The Council’s General Manager is to determine the merits of a permit application and may grant or refuse the application. Where there are objections, the determination will be made by the General Manager. 5. Assessment of costs and benefits to business The various issues that are addressed within the By-law will involve the following costs and benefits to businesses:

Issue Costs Benefits

A reduction in the presence of stray and feral cats on the island.

Control of domestic cats does not create a cost to business.

The quality of the tourism experience will be improved

The provision of building services and equipment to build cat enclosures.

Nil. Provides work opportunities for home handy and building services on or to the island.

Bruny Island has a dynamic tourism industry which is dependent on the quality of its natural environment and wildlife. Protecting the island’s natural values is central to any tourism, economic and land-use development for the island (Wells et al. 2014). Due to the social, economic and environmental benefits of responsible pet cat ownership it is concluded that the benefits far outweigh any costs associated with any potential impact on the conduct of businesses. 6. Assessment of economic, environmental or social impacts The following table assesses the economic, environmental and social impacts of the By-law.

Direct Impacts Indirect Impacts

Environmental Benefits Increased protection of key environmental assets including native fauna and livestock.

Enhanced controls to promote responsible pet cat ownership.

A reduction in dumping and accumulation of unwanted cats.

Encourages improvement in local amenity and site conditions.

General reduction in nuisances.

Improved animal welfare.

Costs Nil Nil


Social Benefits Reduces the potential for conflict between neighbouring residents and community members.

Assists in the maintenance of high community expectations for the welfare of cats, livestock and native fauna.

Reduces the risk of lower amenity of areas through the influx of stray and feral cats.

The Island based community ranger program will liaise with the community and promote compliance, cat welfare and community cohesion.

Discourages irresponsible & inappropriate behaviour.

Improved amenity for residents and visitors to the island.

Reduces costs to community from unlawful cat management.

The By-law will bring the requirements for cat ownership in line with those for dog ownership.

Establishment of a cat assessment and holding facility on the island will help to reassure cat owners that any cats trapped under the By-law or broader feral cat trapping program will be safely returned to the owner.

Costs A very small minority of cat owners believe that the By-law may impinge on their cat ownership rights. This is addressed through incentives and support programs (see Background page 5) and where appropriate a permit for keeping estra cats or exemptions (e.g. the case of elderly or infirmed cats).

Nil.

Economic Benefits Reduced costs for the long term control of cat impacts on key assets.

Provides for cost effective management of unowned/unregistered cats.

Provides for cost effective management of excess cats, nuisance complaints, roaming and undesexed cats.

Improvements in agricultural productivity through reductions in lamb losses (due to toxoplasmosis) and meat losses at the abattoir (due to sarcocysts in

Improved cat welfare and reduced veterinary costs due to reduced cat attack, injury and fatal disease.

Improved quality of the natural environment and wildlife will provide benefits to the tourism industry (which is largely nature based).


meat).

Improvements in conservation of priority native species impacted by cats and a reduction in costs to mitigate species declines.

Costs Nil Nil

7. Discussion of alternatives Rather than preparing a new Bruny Island Domestic Cat By-law there are other alternatives: 1. To do nothing: this is not considered a viable option as Council has an obligation under

the Cat Management Act 2009 to ensure that appropriate controls are provided to protect environmental and economic assets and community safety and amenity.

If no regulatory controls are in place then individuals will determine their own standards, this in turn leads to an immediate or progressive reduction in both public and environmental standards. For example, in the past 12 months 4 cases of keeping excess cats at premises on Bruny Island have been identified.

2. To rely on other available or relevant statutory provisions or regulations: current

Tasmanian legislation relevant to the management and welfare of cats and the public and health nuisance potentially caused by domestic cats, do not provide Councils with the necessary powers to effectively address cat management issues. Current legislation includes: Cat Management Act 2009, Animal Welfare Act 1993, Public Health Act 1997 and Local Government Act 1993 (nuisance provisions). For example it is unlikely that the nuisance caused by cats would meet the criteria to issue an Abatement Notice for nuisance under the Local Government Act 1993; under the Cat Management Act 2009 requirements for compulsory desexing and microchipping are currently not enacted; the requirements for cat containment, a limit on the number of cats per premises and the prohibition on feeding stray cats are not covered under any legislation or Council By-law. The By-law will complement the Cat Management Act 2009 (CMA) to deliver the controls currently not addressed and enforced through the CMA. While the state government may at some stage amend the Cat Management Act 2009, it is unlikely that the changes would provide for the level of regulation outlined in this By-law and required to protect the conservation values of Bruny Island. In addition, discussions with compliance staff at Council has identified that community complaints about the nuisance caused by cats are unlikely to be successful under Part 4 Clause 12 of Kingborough’s 'Health and Environmental Services By-Law'. Furthermore, to test such a case would be a lengthy and costly process and would likely fail. The above regulatory alternatives do not adequately address the particular issues that need to be controlled. There are benefits in defining the actual activities (within the By-law) that are to be controlled, rather than relying upon very general provisions within other legislation. This more precise definition makes it much clearer to users as to what is expected and so reduces arguments and conflicts. It provides the clarity needed for effective enforcement.


These regulatory alternatives do not provide for a permit system to allow for the keeping of more than 2 cats where this is already the case and appropriate. Without such a permit system Council would either rely upon informal agreements or not provide permission where this is advisable. The lack of relevant regulation currently leaves the community carrying the burden for the adverse impacts associated with poor cat management.

8. Assessment of public costs and benefits The overall intended consequence of preparing a Bruny Island Domestic Cat By-law is to foster responsible pet cat ownership in order to protect biodiversity, agricultural and tourism assets and to ensure the health and welfare of domestic cats. This has economic and social benefits through improved domestic cat welfare and community harmony and improvements in agricultural productivity and nature–based tourism. Regulation is the most feasible option to achieve the By-law’s objectives and the By-law has been carefully prepared in order to ensure that it imposes the least regulatory burden on the community as possible. 9. Public consultation process Consultation processes have been conducted both with the general Bruny community (2015/2016 and 2018) and with Bruny residents and rate payers who own cats (2016/2017). Overall the results show that the majority of the Bruny Island community support the By-law. The 2015/16 survey found good support among respondents for the management of domestic cats (including compulsory desexing and micro-chipping). Overall 81% of respondents were in favour of some level of containment of domestic cats (with 62% of those in favour of 24hr containment) and 78% supported a limit on the number of cats per household. The 2016/17 cat owner survey found that most households with cats on the island have desexed and microchipped cats (96% and 86% respectively) and the majority (86%) own only 1 or 2 cats and 88% said the legal limit on the number of cats per household should be 1 - 3. The majority of cat owners provide some level of containment of their cats and only 36% allow their cats to roam freely. Interestingly, together, the phasing in of compulsory cat containment and access to technical advice, cheap materials and building assistance were identified by 71% of households to help the transition to containment. The 2018 Bruny Life survey found that 90 per cent of respondents (Bruny Island residents and ratepayers) support domestic cat management and feral cat eradication. Subject to the Director of Local Government approval of the RIS, the proposed By-law will be released by Council for general public comment through advertising in daily circulating newspapers, placement on Council’s website and use of local print media outlets. In addition, the By-law will be forwarded to the key stakeholders groups on the Island for their review.

KINGBOROUGH WASTE SERVICES - BI-MONTHLY REPORT

Attached to this information report are the minutes of the Board meeting held on 1 August 2018. Also attached are the Chairman’s bi-monthly report and the financial reports up to June 2018.

FINANCE

The Profit and Loss Statement for the year-to-date period up to 30 June 2018 resulted in an overall operational surplus of $236,172 for the financial year. A surplus was achieved in every month of the last year. This result is $167,550 more than the year to date budgeted surplus of $68,622.

TOTAL 68,622 236,172 167,550


Significant variances and other comments to note for the year-to-date period up to 30 June 2018 include the following:

Item Positive Impact

Negative Impact

Comments

Income $ $

General waste 1,740 Much more waste was received in May (due largely to the impact of a major storm) and June than in previous months, resulting in a very small variance for the year.

Green waste 11,738 Less green waste received than expected in most months (not recently).

Timber 19,680 A new source of revenue with no previous budgeted amount.

Tip shop sales 88,034 Significantly more revenue than expected all year due to more undercover space, pricing, salvaging and stock display changes.

Metal sales 33,982 Revenue has been obtained over the year when none was originally expected.

Kerbside collection charges

28,535 Less kerbside waste has been received from the contractor than expected.

Expenditure $ $

Salaries 25,328 Increased costs to cover staff departures plus need for increased coverage in the tip shop and more generally.

Copping disposal costs

18,354 Less waste was taken to Copping and there were some increased diversions.

Metals disposal 34,000 Savings made due to no costs incurred in disposal of metals.

Disposal of hazardous waste

22,807 Savings made due to negligible costs incurred in disposal of hazardous waste.

Green waste mulching

26,724 Higher costs due to the need to mulch older stockpiles of green waste.

Bruny bin movement

19,249 More waste taken to the Bruny Waste Transfer Station over the summer period.

Office expenses 18,411 Deferred spending and general efficiency savings.

The financial results show that KWS has achieved a surplus of $236,172 for 2017/18 and this has exceeded the previous forecasts made during the year. The 2018/19 budget has forecasted a surplus of $80,056. As previously reported, this reduction in the forecasted surplus is due to the omission of any metal or recycling sales, plus expected increased salary costs and costs associated with the transport and disposal of waste to Copping.

OPERATIONS

An increased range of recycling options has been provided at Barretta – as shown below. CMA Ecocycle is part of metal recycler Recycal and handles the entire process of recycling waste containing mercury. Collections through this initiative have resulted in 44kg of fluorescent tubes and globes and 156kg of household battering being recycled during June.


The collection of unwanted paint through the Paintback Scheme has continued, with 1,600kg collected during May and 390kg collected in June, for a total of 13,085kg over the past 12 months and a saving of $71,960. This Paintback Scheme is now also operating at the Bruny Island WTS.

The TechCollect E-waste collection program continues to be well received with 7,300kg collected during May and 3,460kg in June. A total of 43,850kg has been recycled and diverted from landfill since the introduction of the program in March 2017.

A total of 314 end of life tyres were collected through the Tyrecycle Scheme. A total of 368 eligible containers were collected and processed under the DrumMuster Scheme during 2017/18.

Expressions of interest were sought in June with Sims Metal Management being the successful contractor. Collections have commenced with 123 tonnes removed during June with a small financial return to KWS. Another 100 tonnes was taken July and there is about 250 tonnes remaining on site.

The Barretta Re-use Shop has continued to trade well. Specifically, May resulted in 2,559 transactions, with sales of $26,516 which is $6,116 above budget and $3,691 higher than May 2017. June resulted in 2,481 transactions, with sales of $27,639, which is $9,939 above budget and $2,280 higher than June 2017. This improved performance is shown on the diagram below.


The following table outlines the year-to-date waste received up to the end of June 2018 and that which is transported to Copping and other diversions.

A list of the diversion rates (waste diverted from landfill) now being achieved on a month-to-month basis compared to previous years is as shown in the following table. The diversion rate for May was one of the highest recorded and this was largely due to a major storm event. Note that these figures do not include the diversion of green waste or the kerbside collection of recyclables. A more comprehensive analysis of the total Kingborough waste stream will be possible in future once KWS has compiled all of the relevant data as proposed within the Service Level Agreement.

COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION

Updated information is provided in the Kingborough Chronicle on a monthly basis that provides information on the services provided at Barretta. Similar information is provided on Council’s Facebook page.

RISK

Previous financial risks have reduced significantly as a result of a general improved financial performance of KWS operations. Site management risks are contained by conducting regular audits and staff training.


WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

The Board reviewed Council’s decision to approve the Service Level Agreement (SLA) and will now be considering the necessary processes to meet the SLA requirements. This will be facilitated by the employment of a Waste Management Officer as budgeted. New reporting templates will be developed in order to best present the wider range of future responsibilities.
