SER004-19 DRAFT OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION STRATEGY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The draft Open Space and Recreation Strategy is an informing strategy that sits between the

Community Strategic Plan and the Delivery Plan to inform future action plans.

Open space and recreational services are core elements of Council’s service to the community.

It is a particularly visible portfolio that is coming under increasing pressure from rising demand

and competing interests.

A long term strategic approach is necessary if Council is to deliver best value to the community

from its investment and service decisions.

The draft Strategy is based on three outcomes and objectives that are backed up by strategic

approaches. The strategic approaches will guide the preparation of action plans for key service

areas.

The preparation and implementation of the strategy is identified for 2017-21 in the Delivery

Plan.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. Council endorse public exhibition of the draft Sutherland Shire Open Space and Recreation

Strategy for a period of 28 days.

2. Following exhibition the feedback be reviewed and a final strategy be submitted to Council for

endorsement.

INF006-19 REQUEST FOR PLAYGROUND AT 1R MATHERS PLACE, MENAI

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Council has received requests from local residents calling upon Council to install a playground

in the reserve located on the corner of Mathers Place and Bishop Road, Menai (Mathers Place

Reserve) resulting in a Council resolution to prepare this report;

Analysis of the suitability of the site including proximity to similar facilities and demographic data

has been undertaken and a local level playground could potentially fill a service gap in this part

of Menai;

There are no current plans or funding for play facilities at Mathers Place in the Long Term

Financial Plan.

It is proposed that, prior to proceeding with the installation of new playgrounds in response to

requests, Council should first develop an Action Plan for Play to support implementation of the

proposed Open Space and Recreation strategy.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. An Action Plan for Play be developed to support the implementation of the proposed Open

Space and Recreation Strategy.

2. E Ward Councillors meet with Council staff to refine the scope of works and funding sources.

PLN009-19 SSDCP 2015 – DRAFT AMENDMENT 5 – BOARDING HOUSES

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Boarding houses are permissible under both Council’s SSLEP2015 and State Environmental

Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009 (ARH SEPP). Any Council adopted controls

must not be inconsistent with the AHR SEPP standards.

Council is currently assessing nine applications for boarding houses. Whilst applications are

assessed on against the basic standards in the ARH SEPP and on merit, there are no detailed

controls specific to boarding houses in Sutherland Shire Development Control Plan 2015

(SSDCP2015).

The proposed SSDCP2015 draft controls (Appendix A) for boarding houses aim to ensure the

bulk and scale of development is compatible with the local character, that the landscape quality

is maintained, that such proposals provide adequate communal and private spaces, and that

proposals achieve privacy and amenity standards. The provisions also aim to address

community concerns regarding the responsible management of these premises (Appendix B).

It is recommended that SSDCP2015 be amended to include appropriate controls for boarding

houses.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

Council endorse for public exhibition Sutherland Shire Development Control Plan 2015

(SSDCP2015) Draft Amendment 5, to provide for boarding house controls (as shown in Appendix A

& B).

PLN011-19 PLANNING PROPOSAL TO HERITAGE LIST 65 HOTHAM ROAD GYMEA

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A detailed heritage assessment of the house at 65 Hotham Road Gymea, by consultants

Architectural Projects Pty Ltd, has concluded that the house has local heritage significance

(Appendix A).

Macquarie Health Corporation plans to substantially redevelop the site to meet growing health

needs and contend that the retention of the house is problematic (Appendix B).

The Sutherland Shire Local Planning Panel supports the Planning Proposal proceeding to the

Department of Planning and Environment for a Gateway Determination. The Planning Proposal

proposes to amend SSLEP2015 by adding 65 Hotham Road Gymea to Schedule 5

Environmental Heritage.

If Council wishes to begin the process of listing the house as a heritage item in SSLEP2015,

the Planning Proposal must now be forwarded to NSW Planning and Environment for a

Gateway Determination.

This report seeks Council’s endorsement to submit the proposed heritage listing for Gateway

Determination.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. Council endorses the Planning Proposal to add 65 Hotham Road Gymea to Schedule 5

Environmental Heritage, for submission to NSW Planning and Environment for a Gateway

Determination.

2. Subject to a positive Gateway Determination, the Planning Proposal be exhibited in

accordance with Council’s policies and the conditions of the Gateway Determination.

COR008-19 SUBMISSION TO PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION ECONOMIC

REGULATION OF AIRPORTS DRAFT REPORT

Attachments: Appendix A⇩

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s endorsement of a submission prepared in

response to the Productivity Commission’s Draft Report on the Economic Regulation of Airports.

The focus of the submission centres on two key issues, these are:

o The Productivity Commission’s report does not give due consideration to the cost of noise

and emissions pollution on the economy, especially with respect to its broad impact on

community health and general productivity.

o Increasing mode share to rail to reduce the high cost of traffic congestion and air

pollution. The imposition of a levy on car parking and vehicle access fees at the airport

should be considered to offset the Airport Station Access Fee. An economic study by

Booz Allen has indicated that a mode share of 35% could be achieved with the removal

of the Station Access fee.

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

The report, “Submission to Productivity Commission Economic Regulation of Airports Draft Report”

be received, noted and endorsed by Council.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s endorsement of a submission prepared in response to

the Australian Government Productivity Commission’s Draft Report on the Economic Regulation of

Airports.

BACKGROUND

Since the privatisation of airports between 1997 and 2002 concerns have been raised by the

community and aviation stakeholders that without appropriate regulation, Australia’s major airports

could abuse their significant market power to set excessively high charges for airport services, and / or

contribute to inefficiencies in their operations and investment decisions.

To examine this issue a series of inquiries were undertaken for the Federal Government on the

regulation of airport services between 2002 and 2011. During this time the approach has been to

make changes to regulations only where “… airports are systematically exercising their market power

to the detriment of the community, and changes to the regime would likely lead to the net benefits to

the community” (pg 7).

As an outcome of the 2011 Commission of inquiry into the effectiveness and efficiency of economic

regulations and quality of service monitoring regime for airports a further review was scheduled to be

conducted in 2018, “to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the current arrangements and

determine whether they remain appropriate” (pg iv). The Productivity Commission Draft Report on the

Economic Regulation of Airports is a part of the 2018 review.

The Review was placed on public exhibition between 6 February and 25 March 2019. Councillors

were notified of the exhibition in the Councillors Bulletin of 15 February 2019 and were invited to

provide comments and issues for inclusion in the submission. No comments were received.

DISCUSSION

The Economic Regulation of Airports Draft Report has been prepared by the Productivity Commission

based on submissions it received following the release of an Issues Paper on 9 July 2018. A key issue

arising from the Issues Paper is a concern by the Productivity Commission and key Industry Groups

that the current regulatory constraints (that include the aircraft movement cap and curfew, slot

management and LTOP) is having an adverse impact on the economic efficiency of aviation

operations, business and tourism activity. When disruptions to operations occur for example, during

poor weather events, the regulations enacted are considered too inflexible and create an unnecessary

economic burden and adverse impact on the community from aircraft noise.

In response, Council’s submission (see attached) suggests that the level of concern raised is

unwarranted. Through the Long Term Operating Plan (LTOP), The Sydney Airport Demand

Management Act 1997, and the Sydney Airport Curfew Act 1995, measures are able to be applied that

enable the effective management of aircraft movement to and from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport

(KSA) and to minimise the adverse health and amenity impacts arising from aircraft noise.

In summary the Council submission to the Productivity Commission contends that:

When the number of aircraft movements to Sydney KSA approaches 80 movements per hour

the ability to apply noise sharing measures to aircraft movements across Sydney diminishes

significantly. For areas in the Sutherland Shire in close proximity to Sydney KSA such as

Kurnell, Cronulla and Bundeena and the many other suburbs affected by aircraft flying at low

altitudes on approach and departures paths, the ability for the community to avoid the impact

from aircraft noise becomes increasingly more difficult. Although Sydney KSA has the capacity

to operate at 90 aircraft movements per hour, enabling the movement cap to be exceeded is

most likely to have an adverse impact on the community and is not supported.

Suggestions by the Commission that regulations be relaxed with respect to limiting aircraft

movements during night time curfews and the application of the 15 minute rolling hour (which

restricts total aircraft movements to 60-80 over any consecutive 4 x 15 minute periods) to

manage aircraft movements are not supported. The Falling on Deaf Ears Senate Select

Committee report (1995) and literature since then clearly demonstrates that increased exposure

to aircraft noise and associated sleep disturbance during curfew hours are likely to cause

increased health impacts (and therefore a financial cost). Changes to the 15 minute rolling hour

has the potential to further cluster aircraft movements and concentrate exposure to aircraft

noise events as well as introduce increased uncertainty to the capacity and management of the

air traffic system.

Concerns by the aviation industry and peak business organisations that current regulations can

lead to increased noise impacts when major disruptions to aircraft movements occur is not

supported. It is understood that when disruptive events occur aircraft are placed in a holding

pattern over the ocean or land which ranges 83km to 222km from Sydney minimising any noise

impact on the community. When the number of aircraft movements exceed 60 movements per

hour the ability to manage these events effectively and flexibly diminishes. Although Western

Sydney Airport is being constructed, without additional airports and capacity the ability of

Sydney KSA to effectively manage disruptive events becomes increasingly limited.

The high dispersed externality costs and adverse impacts associated with the growth in aircraft

movements to Sydney KSA in particular, the health, well-being and amenity of the community

cannot be ignored and must be included in any economic assessment of regulations affecting

the airport.

A study undertaken by Booz Allen for Sydney Airport shows that the removal of the Airport

Railway Station Access Fee has the potential to increase the mode share of trips by rail from

11% to 35%. Applying regulations that levy car parking and access to the airport by car is

suggested as a means of subsidising the Station Access Fee and helping to reduce traffic

congestion generated by trips to and from the airport by car.

Page 17: Agenda of Council Meeting - 15 April 2019 · Council Meeting 15 April 2019 Page 7 REPORTS OF THE SHIRE SERVICES COMMITTEE HELD ON 1 APRIL 2019 SER003-19 PROPOSED DRAINAGE EASEMENT

The risk to the Sutherland Shire community from increased aircraft noise will continue to grow as the

demand for air travel to and from Sydney KSA increases over time. The current regulations controlling

aircraft movements over Sydney have been enacted to limit the potential adverse impacts of aircraft

noise on the health, well-being and amenity of the community. It is important in the proper evaluation

of the regulatory cost on the operation of Sydney Airport, that these environmental and health

externalities and the costs that they incur in lost productivity and medical treatment be included.

RESOURCING STRATEGY IMPLICATIONS

The submission to the Productivity Commission and outcomes are unlikely to have any resourcing,

strategy implications at this point in time for Council. Council officers will continue to monitor the

impacts associated with increased air traffic through participation in the Sydney Airport Community

Forum and respond appropriately to any issues as they arise.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Council is a member of the Sydney Airport Community Forum (SACF). SACF was formed by the

Federal Government “to provide advice to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Sydney Airport

Corporation and aviation authorities on the abatement of aircraft noise and related environmental

issues at Sydney Airport. In particular, it is the main body for consultation on the Long term Operating

Plan for the Airport” (SACF Terms of Reference). This report is consistent with the submission made

by SACF.

POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS

The submission to the Productivity Commission is consistent with Objective 6 of the Community

Strategic Plan. The concerns raised with respect to the impact on the community from increased

aircraft noise and growing traffic congestion in the region supports the plan’s vision of the Sutherland

Shire as a liveable place with a high quality of life.

CONCLUSION

The current regulations enacted to protect the community from the adverse impact of aircraft noise are

vital to ensuring reasonable quality of life for Shire residents. The Productivity Commission’s Draft

Report on the Economic Regulation of Airports raises concerns that these regulations are constraints

to the effective and efficient operation of Sydney KSA and associated aviation stakeholders.

The current operational limitations affecting Sydney are merely reflective of an airport that is rapidly

approaching capacity thresholds and its ability to respond to disruptive events such as poor weather

conditions. In Council’s submission to the Productivity Commission it is considered that to

appropriately address the concerns raised, the economic costs associated with exposure to increased

aircraft noise must be fully accounted for.

The impacts and potential economic cost from aircraft noise on the health, wellbeing, productivity and

amenity of the community are well documented in literature. In addition to the economic

considerations of aircraft noise, the submission also identifies an opportunity to apply regulations that

levy car parking and access at the airport to subsidise the Airport Station Access Fee and help support

major modal shift from car to rail.

This matter is being considered in Closed session as it relates to commercial information the

disclosure of which would be likely to prejudice the commercial position of the person, company or

tenderer who supplied it. On balance, the public interest in preserving the confidentiality of information

provided by persons, companies or tenderers outweighs the public interest in maintaining openness

SER002A-19 ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR OPEN SPACE - KIRRAWEE

Section 10A(2)(c)(pur) Information that would, if Disclosed, Confer a Commercial Advantage on

a Person with Whom the Council is Conducting (or Proposes to Conduct) Business:

This matter is being considered in Closed session as it relates to a proposal for the sale or purchase

of land where prior knowledge of this proposal could confer an unfair financial advantage on any

person. On balance, the public interest in preserving the confidentiality of information about the

reserve price outweighs the public interest in maintaining openness and transparency in council

decision-making because the disclosure of this information would put the Council at a competitive

disadvantage in its negotiations with a prospective purchaser, preventing it from achieving a ‘best

value for money’ outcome for the community.
