G/1 MAYORAL STATEMENT ON CURRENT ISSUES Annual Commonwealth Bank Australia (CBA) / Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) Australasian Fixed Income Conference On Friday 28th October CEO Stuart Randle and I attended the Fourth Annual CBA/QTC Australasian Fixed Income Conference and Infrastructure Tour. Treasurer Andrew Fraser and Minister for Finance, Natural Resources & Arts Rachel Nolan hosted bankers and International investors to a tour of the Gladstone Region. In the group were bankers from Asia, Europe and the Middle East along with domestic and international private sector fund managers. The conference is designed to provide investors the opportunity to view elements of the significant capital works program currently being undertaken in Queensland and to demonstrate that it is an attractive, safe and secure place to invest. Gladstone was the only area in Queensland visited and gives a clear indication that our importance is recognised. The Gladstone tour comprised a bus tour of land based industry and also a boat trip on the harbour where Leo Zussino, CEO of the Ports Corporation gave a very detailed verbal presentation on Gladstone industry.

G/5.3 INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES G/5.3.1 APPLICATION FOR PERMANENT ROAD CLOSURE

ADJOINING LOT 2 ON RP889922, PARISH OF TONDOON

Responsible Officer: Director Infrastructure Services Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to allow Council to revise its position in relation to an application for a permanent road closure adjoining Lot 2 on RP889922 (DERM ref Case ID 2011/003248). Officer's Recommendation: That Council advise the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) that it is not opposed to the permanent closure of the access adjoining Lot 2 on RP889922, Parish of Tondoon, provided that the applicant creates a legal drainage easement 7m wide along the boundary shared with 14 Pluto Street Gladstone at their expense. Meeting Discussion: The meeting invited representatives of the Uniting Church and Rainbow Valley Early Learning Centre to address the meeting on future plans for this area. It was noted that the proposal is to expand the Child Care Centre to provide more child care and after school places for our community which is currently in very high demand. The meeting noted that Rainbow Valley Early Learning Centre currently has a waiting of 300 children and they are having to turn away people every week. The proposal is to also site Radio Rhema on land adjacent to the centre. The Uniting Church representative expressed a preference of not having the 7 metre wide easement restriction preferring that any stormwater management issues be addressed in conjunction with the development applications at the appropriate time. Officers considered that the easement requirement provides the best protection for all landowners given that it could be some time before the various development proposals are commenced. In considering the easement restriction, it was suggested that Council would not object to infrastructure that does not impeded the flow of stormwater being constructed within the easement area (ie. carparks, driveways, etc). The easement would however restrict buildings and other structures within the easement area. G/11/ 791 Council Resolution: Moved Cr Hansen Seconded Cr Brushe That the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) be advised that:- 1. Council is not opposed to the permanent closure of the access adjoining Lot 2 on

RP889922, Parish of Tondoon, provided that the applicant creates a legal drainage


-----10-----

easement 7m wide along the boundary shared with 14 Pluto Street Gladstone at their expense.

2. Council offers no objection to the newly created easement being utilised for any

infrastructure that does not impede the flow of surface water (ie. carparking, driveways, etc).

CARRIED

G/5.3.2 CONTESTABLE ELECTRICITY ACCOUNTS

Responsible Officer: Director Infrastructure Services Executive Summary: This report is to formalise the tender methodology for the purchase of electricity from retail suppliers for the contestable electricity accounts Gladstone Regional Council currently has. Officer’s Recommendation: That: 1. Council call for Expressions of Interest for the provision of retail electricity;

2. The Chief Executive Officer be authorised to approve offers based on the

proposed procurement strategy; and

3. A report will be submitted to Council for endorsement once a contract for provision of retail electricity is signed.

G/11/ 792 Council Resolution: Moved Cr Chapman Seconded Cr Hansen That Council call for Expressions of Interest for the provision of retail electricity and a report be prepared for Council's consideration.

CARRIED

G/5.4 PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT Cr. Cameron advised that he is an adjoining landowner to the property that has a development application to be considered in Item G/5.4.1 and therefore he could potentially have a conflict of interest in the matter. The balance of members considered that Cr. Cameron does not have a conflict of interest by being an adjoining landowner. Cr. Butler and Cr. Cameron also advised that as Directors of the Gladstone Area Water Board they could potentially have a conflict of interest in item G/5.4.1. Cr. Butler and Cr. Cameron left the meeting during consideration of the matter.

Proposal: Material Change of Use - Multiple Unit Residential (3 Units), Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2) and Boundary Realignment

Submissions Close Date: 26 September 2011

Number of Submissions: 7 Properly made Submissions

Executive Summary: An Impact Assessable Development Application for Multiple Unit Residential (3 Units), Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2) and Boundary Realignment was received by Council on


-----71-----

13 July 2010. During the Public Notification period the application received 7 properly made submissions. The main issues raised within these submissions included increased traffic and noise, potential impacts on existing residents privacy and views, increased stormwater run off, inappropriate development in the Residential Zone and a reduced amenity of the area. It is noted that the submissions specifically relate to the unit component rather than the reconfiguration component of the development. The proposal has been assessed against the Gladstone Planning Scheme and based on the assessment detailed in this report it is recommended that the application be approved in part for the reconfiguration component but the multiple unit residential component be refused. It is considered appropriate to refuse the proposed unit component of this application as it is considered to be non compliant with the Planning Scheme. This non compliance specifically relates to the location of a higher density residential development in the Residential Zone on an allotment with unsuitable access and topography. Officer's Recommendation: That the application at 12 Gapparis Street & 146 Sun Valley Road, Kin Kora, for a Material Change of Use for Multiple Unit Residential (3 units) component be refused and the Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2) & Boundary Realignment component be approved subject to the following conditions. Reasons for Refusal – Multiple Unit Residential (3 Units) 1. The proposed development does not comply with the Overall Outcomes of the

Suburban Locality Code (2)(b) as the allotment is not considered to be conveniently located or serviceable given the topography and shared battleaxe arrangement access to the site.

2. The proposed development does not comply with the Overall Outcomes sought for the Suburban Locality Code and the Central Precinct (6)(a) as the proposal is for high density residential development in the Residential Zone and does not demonstrate an overriding need for such a development in this zone.

3. The development exceeds the maximum building height of 9 metres for residential buildings as specified within the Residential Code and as such is considered to be inconsistent with the character of the existing urban environment.

4. The development does not comply with the minimum setback requirements to side and rear boundaries as specified within the Residential Code and therefore does not maintain privacy, sunlight and breezes to adjoining properties.

5. The issues raised by submitters are considered to have general merit. Approval Conditions - Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2) & Boundary Realignment 1. Development is to be carried out in accordance with the submitted application and

except where amendments are required to satisfy the conditions of this approval as follows;

The proposed battleaxe handle is to form part of proposed Lot 5 with an access easement in favour of proposed lot 6.

2. All structures, improvements and services for each lot are to be wholly contained

within the respective lot. 3. All alterations to services and municipal facilities necessitated by the proposal shall

be the responsibility of the applicant. 4. A separate metered water service is to be provided to each allotment. 5. A separate sanitary drainage system is to be provided for each allotment with a

separate connection to Council’s sewerage infrastructure. 6. Plumbing and Drainage Permits must be obtained from Council for the

modifications needed to the water supply and sanitary drainage systems to each allotment.

7. All alterations to services and municipal facilities necessitated by the proposal shall

be the responsibility of the applicant and the applicant is to bear the cost of same. 8. The above infrastructure works must be completed prior to the endorsement of the

plan of reconfiguration by Council. 9. The location of the proposed dwellings shall comply with Council Policy 19.7 -

Revision 1 Building Adjacent to and Over Sewers, Stormwater and Water Assets. 10. Invert crossing and driveway is to be in accordance with Council’s Standard

Drawings RT-0055. 11. The applicant shall demonstrate that each individual allotment is capable of being

drained of its potential roof water without affecting adjoining lots. Where roof water from proposed allotments cannot be drained into the kerb and channel using approved kerb adapters, piped roof water drainage collection systems are to be provided for each allotment in accordance with Council’s Standard Drawings.

12. An agreement shall be entered into with Ergon Energy for the provision of

underground power. A certificate of Electricity Supply is to be obtained from Ergon Energy prior to the sealing of the Plan of survey, for the supply and reticulation of electricity to each allotment.

CR. BRUSHE: Gladstone Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc AGM The Annual General Meeting of the Gladstone Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc was held recently. Cr Rick Hansen was elected as Chamber President, Vice President Rocky Donovan, Julie Robinson as Treasurer and the position of Secretary left unfilled. Other Board Members are Rocky Donovan, Brad Smith, Sanath Alahakoon, Belinda Burgmann, John Gollinelli, Cr Maxine Brushe and Genee Crosby. Artspoken Conference, Bundaberg I recently attended the Artspoken Regional Arts Conference held in Bundaberg that also included the State wide RADF Forum. Seven other members of the local RADF committee also took the opportunity to attend and gain knowledge of their RADF role and the Arts across the State. A highlight of the conference for me was a talk given by the previous Victorian State Emergency Services Commissioner, Bruce Esplin. Bruce was the Commissioner at the time of the Black Saturday bushfires and his talk revolved around the way in which the arts had helped in bringing community together and aiding the healing process. He, himself is a sculptor and on his retirement was asked to take up a position on the Regional Arts Victoria Board. What really struck home with me, was a graph he showed of the Phases of Disaster, and clearly realising that we (the Gladstone Region) currently fit very easily within this graph at this point in time. Whilst we do not fit the Natural Disaster mould, we are a region that is hurting; we have residents being displaced, and residents unable to stay in their home town due to escalating costs, leaving all that they know behind. We have one of our greatest assets, the harbour, being destroyed before our eyes. Beyond the doom and gloom though, Bruce’s message was clear that bringing the community together through arts was a great way to move forward. There is an opportunity to learn from the Victorian situation to allow our region to acknowledge the issues we are faced with, and to “bring order from disorder”. We will be exploring this further. 3. REPORTS FROM THE FLOOR OF THE MEETING: Endeavour Foundation Years of Service Awards Evening Cr. Cameron reported that he had attended the Endeavour Foundation Years of Service Awards Evening on the 25 October 2011. It had been a great evening and Cr. Cameron appreciated the opportunity to attend. Gladstone Harbour - Impacts of Industrial Development - Media Coverage Cr. Cameron again raised concerns about the lack of funding being made available to the region to compensate for the loss of access to Gladstone Harbour and to assist with the development of infrastructure to cope for the unprecedented growth occurring as a result of the gas industries siting in the region and associated port expansions. Cr. Cameron reiterated some of his comments made at Council's General Meeting on the 18 October on this issue. Cr. Cameron suggested that our region needs to consider voicing its concerns similar to the way that the newly formed KAFDA group (Keppel and Fitzroy Delta Alliance) is doing in the Rockhampton Regional area.

Cr. Cameron also commented that he believed that the local daily newspaper is being censored to some extent by virtue of the industry organisations spending significant funds on newspaper advertising. Cr. Cameron suggested that it appears that the newspaper is reluctant to print adverse public comment, opinions and SMSs in the newspaper and on their website on the harbour health and social impact issues; as a result of the significant funding being spent on promotional advertising by these organisations. He considered that the newspaper has let the local community down by not doing their job objectively. Cr Hansen commented that it is his understanding the Gladstone Hospital's High Dependency Unit has recently been downgraded, which is just another example of the how little funding is being invested in the social infrastructure of this rapidly growing community. Lack of Social Infrastructure associated with the Unprecedented Industrial Development and associated Growth Cr. Brushe read from a prepared statement as follows: "As we approach the first anniversary of the first FID for LNG plants being made, it is timely to reflect on what has occurred over the last 12 months and see how we have travelled. A little over 12 months ago, we sat in this room with LNG and State Government representatives in a discussion about the need for quality social infrastructure for this region to counter the avalanche about to engulf us. The reply was "You're getting 6000 jobs, what more to you want?" We knew then that we were in for a rough ride! They were right, yes, we got 6000+ jobs but at what cost to our community? We laboured for some time over the Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan, evaluated Social Infrastructure Management Plans (SIMPs), Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) and were promised so much. Yes, some dollars have been invested in social impact mitigation projects such as rental stress, health initiatives that should have been funded by State Government the same as they have in many other places in the State and one significant promise of dollars for proposed water front development by WICET. What about the other side of the coin….what has our community endured over the last 12 months, and the 6000+ workers haven't even arrived yet! Our beautiful harbour and rivers - now brown and disgusting from dredge plume; Our great fishing and crabbing - in serious trouble that no one knows how to fix; Our affordable lifestyle - gone Our elderly residents wanting to stay and retire here - leaving in droves Locals wanting to work - unable to due to lack of child care Local businesses struggling to maintain staff Families being separated, kicked out of rentals, having to leave town because they

are no longer able to live here; To name but a few. The Gladstone Observer used to have a slogan - "We live here because we love it". The majority of residents in the past would have agreed with this slogan but I don't believe that we could get the same result if we asked our residents today. Many believe that we are becoming little more than an accommodation camp.

In the Government's LNG document, they state that they will support social infrastructure through the development of the Gladstone Foundation. Yes the Foundation has been set up and despite best efforts, it remains without any money. What are industry issues with the Foundation? Why are they not investing money through the Foundation? What is the State's fall back position for this region if industry does not invest through the Foundation? How do we as a Region demand and receive the support that is required to deal with the hurt our community is suffering due to continual escalation of industrial development? The direct approaches to industry and government have failed in the past but Council has shown it is willing and able to manage infrastructure dollars efficiently and effectively so if the Foundation is the problem, we need to make these approaches again and start to get the dollars working on the ground. The Gladstone Region has faced issues like this before and risen above the mire to be stronger than ever. But this is unprecedented growth, not just population growth but unprecedented social impacts - we are a community under stress. We are resilient, we are strong but we deserve support - we deserve compensation - we deserve better from those reaping the greatest rewards in export dollars and royalties, and it is time for the dollars to be paid." Keppel and Fitzroy Delta Alliance (KAFDA) Cr. Chapman reported on the activities of a newly formed environmental group KAFDA which is giving a voice to the concerns of environmental groups in the Rockhampton Regional area who do not want to see their local waterways/environment "becoming another Gladstone". The group is opposed to further large scale development of the waterways/harbour including areas of north Curtis Island and Balaclava Island. Cr. Chapman advised that he will continue to follow the group's activities as some of the areas of concern fall within the Gladstone Region's boundaries (ie. the area from Raglan Creek north to the Rockhampton Regional Council boundary). Roseberry Community Services Cr. Butler advised that he and Cr. Sellers and Cr. Chapman had attended the annual general meeting of Roseberry Community Services. He commended the wonderful work of this organisation and was concerned to learn that their government funding is declining at a time when the demand for services is growing rapidly. Cr. Butler could not understand why other larger organisations in the CQ area are receiving increased funding when the demand for their services is stable, whereas the demand on Roseberry Community Services' programs is extremely high and yet their funding is being reduced. Cr. Butler considered this to be just another example of our region being 'short changed' when it comes to government investment in social infrastructure. Delays in Flood Damaged Road Repairs Cr. Butler raised concerns on the lack of progress being made with flood damage repairs to road infrastructure. Cr. Butler was concerned that unless repairs are done in advance of the coming wet season, there is potential for Council to loose some major road infrastructure assets (ie. culverts, drainage structures and the like). The meeting discussed the considerable delays associated with the Government imposed processes for contracting the works and preparation of the necessary cost estimates, tender documentation and quality assurance processes which are required in order to access the Federal Government and Queensland Reconstruction Authority's (QRA) flood recovery funds. Council submitted its first batch of documentation to LGIS

in July and only just recently to QRA and has not yet received approval to proceed. Council is also still waiting for the Government to reimburse Council for the initial emergent flood recovery works done immediately following the December floods. It was agreed that Officers prepare a report on the flood recovery process from Council's perspective with a view to preparing a submission to the State Government on reforms it considers are required to expedite future flood recovery efforts. Officer's Recommendation: That the Councillor reports be received. G/11/ 808 Council Resolution: Moved Cr Butler Seconded Cr Cameron That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted.

CARRIED G/7 QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC GALLERY Nil. G/8 CONFIDENTIAL ITEMS Nil. G/9 MEETING CLOSE In closing the meeting, the Mayor commented that she has lived in Gladstone most of her life and she loves it. The region has so much to offer and she believes that it has a great future. Cr. Brushe endorsed these comments, but she added that it needs to be acknowledged by other tiers of government and the media that this community is hurting as a result of the unprecedented growth and steps need to be taken now to assist the region to cope with the growth issues. There being no further business the Mayor formally closed the meeting.
