MAYORAL MINUTES

(ITEM MM16/15) WESTCONNEX PROPOSED ROUTE

File No: 15/41238Summary

I recently received a petition with over 400 signatures from residents regarding the new route of the M4 East WestConnex four lane tunnel.

The latest WestConnex maps show the tunnel would be under the residences in the Burwood and Croydon areas, affecting approximately 500 homes, especially those in:

Esher Street New Street Shaftesbury Road Cheltenham Road

Lucas Road King Edward Avenue Alexandria Avenue Lang Street

To date there has been little information conveyed to the community and no consultation undertaken on the new tunnel location. Residents who are aware of the altered tunnel route have expressed concern regarding the potential impacts on their properties, especially relating to noise and vibration during construction and any possible implications on their insurance and land title after construction.

Residents have also expressed disappointment that this was not the route indicated on WestConnex maps during the public exhibition period and, to their knowledge, no Environmental Impact Study has been made publicly available.

In response to a Notice of Motion raised at a recent Council Meeting, a letter was sent from the General Manager to the Project Director of the WestConnex Delivery Authority, requesting information on the project, including reasons why the tunnel route was changed.

While waiting for a response from the Authority, I would like to take a more proactive approach in order to alleviate residents’ concerns.

135/15 RESOLVED (Carried Unanimously)

1. I table the petition and send a copy to the relevant NSW Departments and Ministers.

2. Council write to the Minister for Roads, Maritime & Freight, the Hon. Duncan Gay MLC, and the Minister for Planning, the Hon. Rob Stokes MP, advising that Council supported the WestConnex project, however, is now against the proposed route under approximately 500 residences.



3. Council calls on the Government to stick to the original route under Parramatta Road.

4. Council calls for a meeting with both Ministers in relation to the Urban Growth NSW plans for development in the Parramatta Road area. In particular, how will the project work now that the route is proposed under this area, and the impact on the residences and on the Wychbury and Alexandra Avenue Conservation Area.

5. Council formulate a submission against the existing route proposal and requests the Government to go back to the original route under Parramatta Road.

6. That Council forward a copy of the letter to the NSW State Premier, NSW State MP and Duty MLC.

(ITEM 95/15) INVESTIGATE PLANNING CONTROLS FOR BYER STREET AND NOS. 12A, 14, 16 AND 18 PLYMOUTH STREET, ENFIELD


At its Extraordinary Meeting on 15 May 2012, Council endorsed the then draft Burwood Local Environmental Plan (BLEP) for finalisation, and also resolved to conduct a resident survey for Nos. 2–44, 7–37 Byer Street and 12A, 14, 16 and 18 Plymouth Street Enfield to investigate a potential density increase. Following the survey, consultants were engaged to undertake the urban design, traffic and development feasibility analyses. Three options are discussed in this report. It is recommended that no change be made to the existing planning controls.


1. That Council note the contents of this report.

2. That Council proceed to a consultation first with the intent to prepare a Planning Proposal to change the maximum FSR and maximum building height standards for the western side, 7-37 Byer Street and 12A, 14, 16 and 18 Plymouth Street, Enfield as per option 3 with four levels and FSR between 1.5:1 to 2:1 subject to expert advice.

(ITEM MM17/15) MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF A DWELLING HOUSE IN A R2 LOW DENSITY RESIDENT ZONE


The current control for the maximum height of a dwelling house in a R2 Low Density Residential zone, pursuant to the Burwood Local Environmental Plan 2012 (BLEP 2012), is 8.2m. I have been concerned with the difficulty being faced by residents who want to erect a first floor addition, or build a new two storey dwelling in complying with the requirement because of raised existing floor levels and ceiling heights, as well as circumstances where floor levels have to be raised to comply with flooding requirements.

I believe that by raising the height to 8.5m will allow more flexibility for residents with their design without creating significant amenity issues for surrounding residents because of additional overshadowing.

As this control is contained in the BLEP 2012, such a change will require an alteration to the height map of the BLEP 2012 for the R2 zone and will apply to all development within the R2 zone. This will necessitate a Planning Proposal being prepared to go through to the gateway process.


1. (a) That Council endorse the maximum height of 8.5m in all Low Density Residential zone and the preparation of a Planning Proposal. Thus the maximum height of any building can be 8.5m.

(b) That Council investigate amending its Policy to allow side by side construction of duplex sites, i.e. like a two level home, but divided in two.

2. That Council submit the Planning Proposal to NSW Planning & Environment for a Gateway Determination.

3. That subject to the Gateway Determination, the Planning Proposal be publicly exhibited and consultation with any relevant public authority be undertaken.

4. That the results of the public exhibition and consultation be reported back to Council.

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE – COUNCIL MEETING OF 24 AUGUST 2015

Question Response

Q31 – Councillors Lesley Furneaux-Cook

Can Council provide an update on the Grosvenor/Boundary/Webb Street Planning proposal’s progression?

Manager Strategic Planning

A report was presented to the 23 March 2015 Council Meeting recommending that Council not proceed with the preparation of a Planning Proposal to reduce the building height and floor space ratio for the area. Council resolved to defer the item for a Councillor workshop. To date no Councillor workshop has been scheduled for this matter.


Can Council provide an update on the information as per the motion on Westconnex seeking impacts and clarification on the changes to Westconnex tunnel route?

Manager Traffic & Transport

The Westconnex Delivery Authority (WDA) advised Council in June 2015 that the NSW Government had announced the selection of tender to deliver the extension of the M4. Following the selection of the preferred design, the WDA will be individually consulting with residents and



businesses.

Following a motion at the July Council Meeting, Council has now requested information from the Westconnex Authority including the reasons why the tunnel was changed and the impacts on affected properties during the construction period.

A search of the Westconnex website suggests that an environmental impact statement is being prepared for the preferred design and will be displayed for community comment in the coming months.

The Westconnex Project is led by the WDA, who is responsible for communicating with affected land owners regarding route design and impacts. For more information on the tender design, please visit www.westconnex.com.au.

Any enquiries or concerns about acquisition or impacts on properties, please contact the Westconnex Project Team on 1300 660 248 or email by [email protected].


Is it possible for Council to inspect the safety of the overhanging lights of the derelict building at 180 Burwood Road (yellow building)?

Senior Manager Compliance

Council Law Enforcement Officers are currently investigating this matter and have sought additional advice from the Manager Building & Development. It appears that the lighting on the building is safe, however the adjoining neon signage appears to be in a derelict state and warrants further investigation. Senior Manager Compliance to provide further advice and report on action taken once investigation is complete.

Q34 – Councillors Justin Taunton

NABO APP – The free and private neighbourhood social network for Australia – Is Council using this App and are we registering with it?

Executive Manager

Staff have been liaising with Nabo Management over the last few weeks and are currently utilising and monitoring the system to gauge its benefits for Council. An assessment on whether it is advantageous for Council to join Nabo will be undertaken at the end of September.

Speakers who register prior to Council



speakers on items on the business papers presenting reports provide documents, maps, plans during presentation?

Graffiti removal week – partnership with the NSW State Government and Rotary Interests Clubs – Does Council participate in this program – what is our graffiti removal strategies?

Senior Manager Library and Community Services

Burwood Council, like many other Local Government authorities, invests significant resources in the removal of graffiti. We have developed a Graffiti Management Plan that includes a multi-pronged range of reactive and proactive responses to this problem.

In particular, Council takes a year round approach to the removal of graffiti from public, and in some cases private spaces. Our Rapid Removal Service removes all reported graffiti within two weeks, or within 48 hours if the graffiti is deemed offensive or illicit.

We have offered to promote Graffiti Removal Day on Council’s website, but unfortunately we do not have any additional resources to contribute to this initiative.

The NSW Department of Justice was informed of this information in July 2015 in response to their invitation to participate in the Day.


(ITEM IN30/15) ATTENDANCE AT THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY SANDAKAN DAY MEMORIAL SERVICE, SANDAKAN, SABAH, MALAYSIA - 15 AUGUST 2015


I attended the 70th Anniversary of the Sandakan Memorial Service on behalf of the Sandakan Community Education Committee and Council on 15 August 2015 at the special memorial service which commemorated the 70th Anniversary of the Sandakan Death Marches. I placed a wreath on the special cenotaph on behalf of Burwood.

This year the special service, which coincided with the end of the War and VP Day, was represented by His Excellency General the Hon Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (retd), Governor-General of Australia, and his wife, Lady Cosgrove.

The evening before I attended a Welcome Reception hosted by the Sabah Municipal Council and Sabah Tourism Board, at the home of the President of the Sandakan Municipal



Council, Datuk Ir. James Wong.

The memorial service was well represented by both Australian, British, American and Malaysian representatives, including the local indigenous community of Sandakan.

The service lasted about 2.5 hours and included a special recognition of family members who lost loved ones, those prisoners of war who were interned in the Camp and later undertook the two Death Marches from Sandakan to Ranau.

The individual commentary on loss was quite emotional and reinforced the significant loss felt by families, in particular, local Malaysian residents who supported those Prisoners of War that eventually led to their death.

During the service I met with the last remaining member of the Australian contingency that was at Sandakan. His name is Lt Leslie “Bunny” Glover. Bunny is a likeable retired officer who was a Lieutenant during the incarceration by the Japanese and was removed prior to the Death Marches. He was moved to Batu Lintang “Kuchiing” prison which was the Japanese Army headquarters in Borneo. Upon the conclusion of the War, Bunny assisted in the war trials and created the Sandakan Prisoners of War Association which still exists and is now led by his son, Michael Glover.

Of interest at this year’s particular event, was that the “Melbourne Cup” was on show on the evening before which had connection with the Sandakan Prisoners of War. In 1942 a secret radio was used to conduct a horse race with the prisoners. The race was listened to by Officers who kept the horse race winners a secret until two days later when they held a Sweep Stake for the prisoners who purchased the horses and a race was called between the Officers’ huts with prisoners sitting on the ground. The winner of the race received a makeshift cup which is now held in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. This race was held again in the following year before the prisoners were marched to their death.

I would like to give a vote of thanks to Council and the Sandakan Community Education Committee for my representation at this event, and I will be making some suggested changes to the Committee on how to improve next year’s memorial serviced based on observations made at the 70th Anniversary Sandakan Day Memorial Service.

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

The following Questions Without Notice were submitted at the Meeting:

Councillor Lesley Furneaux-Cook

Can Council clarify why it has taken almost 18 months to repair road works on Oxford Street and its cost to Council to date?

Councillor Lesley Furneaux-Cook

I am aware that a pair of nesting plovers (protected species) have established a nest next to Grant Park leash free area. They have done so for the last two years and have been unsuccessful to date as the chicks are taken by local cats. Is there anything that Council can do to protect and ensure the longevity of these species?

Councillor Justin Taunton

Dangerous traffic hazard at the roundabout near 290 Burwood Road. A resident has requested that council install heavy duty safety barriers around the roundabout and approaches following a number of serious incidents involving speeding cars crashing into and destroying property including a sandstone wall. Could the issues raised by the resident be investigated and reported back to me and that the matter be referred to the Local Traffic Committee (LTC) to seek their input as the Burwood Local Area Command is aware of the problem and may have input into possible solutions to improve safety in that area?




Building and Design Awards for Architectural Excellence – can I be provided an update on the progress on the proposal to inaugurate a competition which would be modelled on similar concepts run by other councils like Randwick and the Hills?


Regional Dumping Squad – Can I be provided with information about the Squad, the work they do, which councils are involved, the financial costs and if there is any benefit or otherwise of our council joining the joint regional project?

Councillor John Faker

Our Council Car Parking Policy – what is the treatment of drivers parking in a metered zone who wait in the car while dropping off another passenger. Do we have a policy to ask for a time limit?

What’s the policy regarding a car being parked for a timed period, having to move, come back and park in another spot and time continue?


Where is Council up to regarding the traffic study around John Street, Burwood and having movement one way? Also, converting the ‘No Stopping’ to ‘No Parking’?
