9.1.1      Amendment C189 - Corrections to the Whitehorse Planning Scheme - Adoption of Amendment

ATTACHMENT

 

SUMMARY

Whitehorse City Council, as the planning authority, is responsible for regularly reviewing the Whitehorse Planning Scheme. Minor errors and anomalies were identified up to May 2016 in the Whitehorse Planning Scheme that required correction via a planning scheme amendment.

Amendment C189 consists of 59 corrections which includes rezoning land that has been incorrectly zoned, removing the Vegetation Protection Overlay from properties where trees have been removed and minor amendments to maps, ordinance or incorporated documents to correct errors or anomalies.

Council exhibited Amendment C189 under Section 20(2) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 for one calendar month to all landowners of properties included in the amendment, as well as to Prescribed Ministers. No submissions were received during the exhibition period.

This report recommends that Council adopt Amendment C189 and send it to the Minister for Planning for approval under Section 20(2) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

 

RECOMMENDATION

That Council, being the Planning Authority, having exhibited the amendment and received no submissions:

1.      Adopt Amendment C189 as exhibited.

2.      Submit the adopted Amendment to the Minister for Planning for approval under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 with the fee of $266.55.

 

 

background

The Whitehorse Planning Scheme (the Scheme) was initially developed through preparation of the new format Whitehorse Planning Scheme, which was approved on 5 August 1999. Under Section 12 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (the Act), Council must regularly review the provisions of the Scheme, which includes identifying and correcting errors and anomalies.

The Strategic Planning Unit keeps a record of errors and anomalies that have been identified in the Scheme. The previous corrections amendment (C159) was approved on 21 May 2015. This Amendment (C189) proposes to make corrections that generally relate to mapping anomalies, text errors, removing redundant controls or amending overlay provisions to reflect their intent. The Amendment includes any corrections identified up until May 2016. Any corrections identified after May 2016 will be included in a future corrections amendment.


 

DISCUSSION

The Amendment is administrative only and is not expected to have any adverse environmental, social and economic implications. The changes under this Amendment will generally reflect the intent of the planning scheme as adopted by Council.

The Amendment is likely to result in reduced planning permit requirements by reflecting the intended land use and development. In particular, several properties no longer require the Vegetation Protection Overlay (VPO) as the tree/s have been removed. The Amendment consists of 59 corrections, all of which can be grouped under one of the following categories:

Rezone land

33 parcels of land were identified where the zoning of the land is incorrect or dual or triple zoning has been erroneously applied. This includes parkland reserves which are currently included in a residential zone. To correctly reflect the current use of the reserves, the Amendment rezones land owned by Council from a residential zone to the Public Park and Recreation Zone (PPRZ) where the land is already being used for that purpose.

Vegetation Protection Overlays

The VPO is being updated where the vegetation has been removed and consequential changes are being made to Incorporated Document Number 10 (City of Whitehorse – Statements of Tree Significance – 2005) and Number 11 (City of Whitehorse – Statements of Tree Significance – 2006) to the Planning Scheme to reflect these corrections. There are 22 properties where the VPO is being deleted from land or references to particular trees are to be updated in the Incorporated Documents.

Heritage Overlay

The chimney located at 58-74 Station Street, Nunawading (former Daniel Robertson Brickworks) is included in the Heritage Overlay (HO78). The heritage overlay on the map for HO78 is in the incorrect location and therefore the HO map is being amended to correctly reflect the location of the chimney.

Ordinances, mapping and incorporated documents

There are minor amendments to the ordinance that have been identified to correct errors, including reference to the previous housing study in all schedules to the VPO. The Amendment also corrects a minor formatting error in Schedule 4 to the Neighbourhood Residential Zone. These changes do not change the intent of controls or policy.

An additional correction originally included in this Amendment involved updating all references to the previous residential zones in the Student Accommodation Policy at Clause 22.14. This correction was dealt with in Amendment C177, which was approved in July 2016 and therefore is no longer required to be included in this Amendment.

CONSULTATION

During the preparation of the Amendment consultation was carried out with the Parks Planning and Recreation Team and the Property and Rates Department as they had interest in the sites included in the Amendment. Council’s arborist also reviewed all the properties included in the amendment where trees had been removed. Council officers and the arborist agreed with the changes included in the Amendment.

It was determined that a Section 20(2) Amendment made at the request of the Council to the Minister for Planning would be a suitable approach to correct the minor anomalies in this particular circumstance. The advisory note “A Protocol for Fast Tracking Amendments” notes that amendments can be considered for Ministerial exemption from notice under Section 20(2) of the Act if they are a correction to the planning scheme and/or a plain English translation of an existing provision where the effect of the provision is unchanged.


 

The Amendment was requested under Section 20(2) of the Act, which enables amendments to be exempt from the extensive notice requirements set out under sections 17, 18 and 19 of the Act and instead enables amendments to be undertaken with limited exhibition. The notice requirements typically include notification to surrounding properties and public authorities.

Ministerial exemption from the normal notice requirements was granted on 21 September 2016. Council was also authorised to form its own view as to whether any parties would be affected by the Amendment and should be notified. Council notified all landowners with properties included in the Amendment as well as prescribed ministers and relevant council departments. The Amendment was exhibited from Monday 31 October 2016 until Friday 2 December 2016 and no submissions were received.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

As per the new Planning and Environment (Fees) Regulations 2016 the fee applying for approval of amendments is $453.10. However for the first 12 months, until 13 October 2017, the fee will be reduced by 50%, therefore Council is required to pay $266.55 when lodging the Amendment with the Minister for Planning for approval. This fee can be accommodated in the 2016/2017 budget. The Amendment is likely to reduce future administrative costs by reducing the number of permits required due to the correct zoning being applied. 

POLICY IMPLICATIONS

The Amendment accords with the Municipal Strategic Statement at Clause 21.09 Monitoring and Review. The Clause notes that Council will conduct regular reviews of the planning scheme. The current list of corrections has resulted from Council’s regular review of the planning scheme and the Amendment will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the scheme.

In addition to the policy implications for the Planning Scheme, the amendment would address the Council Plan 2015-2019, by:

 

·       Maintaining and enhancing the built environment to ensure a liveable and sustainable city.

 

The amendment would also address the Council Vision 2013-2023 by:

·       Protecting the natural and built heritage environments through appropriate legislative frameworks.

 

CONCLUSION

 

Under Section 12 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, Council must regularly review the provisions of the Scheme. The Strategic Planning Unit regularly reviews the Scheme and keeps a record of errors and anomalies that have been identified. Fifty-nine errors and anomalies were identified since the previous corrections amendment in May 2015. The corrections largely comprise removal of a VPO where a tree has been removed or amending zoning anomalies where properties are included in two or three zones.

The Amendment supports the principles of the State and Local Planning Policy Framework and does not affect its intentions. The Amendment is required to correctly reflect land use and development of the City and the outcome of the Amendment will be to improve the order, accuracy and efficiency of the Scheme through the removal of anomalies and minor identified errors.

It is not anticipated that the amendment will increase the resource and administrative costs of Council. On the contrary, by correcting mapping, schedule and provision anomalies in accordance with the current and intended land use and development, the amendment is likely to reduce general enquiries and planning permit requirements.

The Amendment was exhibited under Section 20(2) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 from 31 October 2016 until 2 December 2016. No submissions were received during the exhibition period. It is therefore recommended that Council adopt Amendment C189 as exhibited and send it to the Minister for Planning for approval.

9.1.2      Tender Evaluation Report (Contract 20002) Station Street Mitcham Reconstruction

 

 

SUMMARY

To consider tenders received for the reconstruction of Station Street, Mitcham and to recommend the acceptance of the tender received from The Trustee for Evergreen Civil Unit Trust, trading as Evergreen Civil Pty Ltd, for the amount of $1,535,445.44, including GST and to consider the overall project expenditure.

 

RECOMMENDATION

That Council accept the tender and sign the formal contract document for Contract 20002 Station Street Mitcham Reconstruction received from The Trustee for Evergreen Civil Unit Trust (ABN 67 667 088 791), of Factory 11, 24 Brand Drive Thomastown VIC 3074 trading as Evergreen Civil Pty Ltd, for the tendered amount of $1,535,445.44, including GST; as part of the total expected project expenditure of $1,877,928 including GST ($1,707,207 excluding GST).

 

 

BACKGROUND

This contract is to undertake the reconstruction of Station Street between Whitehorse Road and Colombo Street, Mitcham and includes works to the Whitehorse Road signalised intersection and pedestrian crossing connecting Station Street and Britannia Mall. The proposed works are part of Council’s commitment to improving shopping centres throughout the municipality to encourage local trade, economic activity and provide the community with improved retail experiences.

The key objective is to revitalise the Shopping Centre by improving the appearance, amenity and function for local traders, customers and visitors to the area. The project is proposed in response to the deteriorating condition of the road pavement and footpath areas in Mitcham, and changes to the Centre generated by the recent rail crossing removal in Mitcham Road and construction of the new Mitcham Railway Station.

The improvements to Mitcham are proposed to be staged in priority order. The initial stages that have been recently completed include:

·       Stage 1 – Footpath south side of Whitehorse Road to west of Mitcham Road beyond Station Street.

·       Stage 2 – Footpath north side of Whitehorse Road to west of Mitcham Road to Edward Street.

The proposed works are Stage 3 of the streetscape improvements and the key features include:

·       Pedestrian priority – to provide improved pedestrian access by removing the kerbs in Station Street, widening the footpaths and modifying the signalised crossing across Whitehorse Road to provide a more direct route for pedestrians.

·       Feature footpath paving – to provide a consistent paving treatment to unite the many precincts within the Village and improve the safety of pedestrians.

·       Customised street furniture – to provide character and identity to the Village. 

·       Increased greening – to enhance the streetscape with attractive planting including canopy trees and understory planting.


 

·       Parking changes – to provide 15 parking bays in Station Street (19 existing) which would allow planting of large street trees between parking bays. It is also proposed to remove 3 parking bays from the service road in front of Britannia Mall to improve the safety for pedestrians crossing at this location. An information session was held on Thursday 26 May 2016, with no objections lodged to these proposed changes.

Station Street is a two-way street with traffic travelling to and from Colombo Street and the new Mitcham train station, including the public car park. There are a number of bus services that use Station Street and consultation has occurred with the relevant bus companies and Public Transport Victoria (PTV). The Whitehorse Road proposed signalised crossing upgrade works have been reviewed and approved by VicRoads.  

It is proposed to award a single contract for works to be staged over the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 financial years. Works are scheduled to commence in March 2017 and be completed in September 2017. The works will be staged and programmed to limit disruption to the Shopping Centre.

DISCUSSION

Tenders were advertised in The Age newspaper on Saturday 5 November 2016 and were closed on Wednesday 30 November 2016. Two tenders were received.

The tenders were evaluated against the following criteria:

 

·       The Tender Offer;

·       Tenderer’s experience in the provision of similar services;

·       Quality of the tenderer’s work;

·       Proposed construction methodology;

·       Availability of Tenderer to complete the works; and

·       Occupational Health & Safety and Equal Opportunity (Pass/Fail).

The submissions were evaluated using a weighted averages method. Equal Opportunity and Occupational Health & Safety were assessed on a Pass/Fail basis.

The recommended tenderer, Evergreen Civil Pty Ltd has extensive experience in these types of works. They have successfully constructed a number of similar shopping centre streetscape and paving projects for other Councils including Knox City Council, Brimbank City Council and Banyule City Council. They have also recently successfully completed  Stages 1 and 2 of the Mitcham Shopping Centre streetscape improvements. In all these projects they have successfully managed traders whilst working in a busy activity centre and have developed innovative methods for managing the construction site and maintaining pedestrian access to businesses. They are a well-resourced company for this type of work and have an acceptable Occupational Health and Safety policy.

The tender received from Evergreen Civil Pty Ltd is considered to provide the best value for money for this Contract.

CONSULTATION

This project has been developed in consultation with the Council departments of Engineering and Environmental Services, Business and Economic Development, City Works and ParksWide. The preferred tenderer’s business viability has been considered.

A consultation letter with concept plans for the Stage 3 works was sent on 18 May 2016 to a total of 1,146 property owners, tenants and local traders in and around the shopping centre. There was also an information session at the Civic Centre. A total of 8 responses were received. The majority of the comments were positive and in support of the proposed concept design. The remaining comments could be accommodated in the detailed design or were beyond the scope of the current project.

The preferred tenderer’s business viability has been considered.

9.2.1      Contract Extension (Contract 12021) Provision of Road Pavement Repair Services

FILE NUMBER: SF12/2118

 

SUMMARY

Council is required by the Road Management Plan to undertake road pavement repairs. AA Asphalt Constructions Pty Ltd have been providing these road services to Council for 4 years to a high standard. An extension of Contract 12021 for the Provision of Road Pavement Repair Services currently held by AA Asphalt Constructions Pty Ltd, on a Schedule of Rates basis for a fixed period of 1 year commencing on 13 February 2017 will facilitate road repair works being undertaken.

 

RECOMMENDATION

That Council extend Contract 12021 for the Provision of Road Pavement Repair Services currently held by AA Asphalt Constructions Pty Ltd (ABN 27 116 015 733) of PO Box 40, Woori Yallock, Vic 3139 on a Schedule of Rates basis for a period of 1 year, commencing on 13 February 2017.

 

 

BACKGROUND

Council has a contract for the provision of road pavement repair services on an ‘as required’ basis in accordance with the Road Management Plan.

There is an operational budget for the provision of road pavement repair works throughout the municipality to ensure Council meets the requirements under the Road Management Plan.

The current contract is for a 4 year term, plus the option for a 1 year extension with the current contract, due to expire on 13 February 2017.

DISCUSSION

On 13 February 2013, Council awarded Contract 12021 for the Provision of Road Pavement Repair Services Pty Ltd to AA Asphalt Constructions Pty Ltd following a public tender process. The original 4 year term of the Contract will expire on 13 February 2017. The Contract allows for a 1 year extension at Council’s discretion.

AA Asphalt Constructions Pty Ltd has delivered an excellent standard of service throughout the contract period and the performance has been closely monitored and measured through regular onsite inspections and audits.

The Contractor has met the contract requirements with regards to the promotion of service and the appropriate high standard of representation of Council to the public.

The Contractor has agreed to accept Council’s offer to extend the Contract under the current Contract terms and conditions, subject to Council approval. The extension of this Contract will negate the need to conduct a new tender process for these services for another 12 months.

CONSULTATION

The Council officers from City Works and Engineering and Environmental Services Departments involved in managing the Contractor have been consulted with regards to the extension of this Contract.


 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The contract for the provision of road pavement repair services is based on an agreed Schedule of Rates. The rates are subject to a CPI adjustment on each anniversary of the contract.

The average expenditure under this contract over the initial contract term was approximately $300,000 per annum. It is anticipated that the expenditure over the next year will be of a similar magnitude.

9.2.2      Contract Extension (Contract 12020) Provision of Concrete, Asphalt Paving & Kerbing Services

FILE NUMBER: SF12/2117

 

SUMMARY

Council has a significant capital and operational budget for the reconstruction of footpaths, kerb and channel and various other concrete paving works throughout the municipality to ensure Council meets the requirements under the Road Management Plan.

The necessary works can continue to be undertaken by the extension of Contract 12020 for the Provision of Concrete / Asphalt Paving and Kerbing Services currently held by Civil Asset Management Services Pty Ltd, Parente Paving Pty Ltd, Roma Bros Pty Ltd and Pavers Plus Pty Ltd, on a Schedule of Rates basis for a fixed period of 1 year commencing on 13 February 2017.

 

RECOMMENDATION

That Council extend Contract 12020 for the Provision of Concrete / Asphalt Paving and Kerbing Services currently held by:

1.    Civil Asset Management Services Pty Ltd (98 552 701 184) of PO Box 1152, Nth Mitcham, Vic 3132

2.    Parente Paving Pty Ltd (ABN 94 297 335 323) of Factory 9, 10 Thornton Cres, Mitcham, Vic 3132

3.    Roma Bros Pty Ltd (ABN 29 004 334 114) of PO Box 12, Warrandyte, Vic, 3131;

4.    Pavers Plus Pty Ltd (ABN 45 053 807 015) of 389 Maroondah Hwy, Ringwood, Vic 3134

 

on a Schedule of Rates basis for a period of 1 year, commencing on 13 February 2017.

 

BACKGROUND

This contract is for the provision of concrete / asphalt paving and kerbing services for the City of Whitehorse to undertake planned renewal and risk mitigation works in accordance with the Council’s Asset Management Policy and its Road Management Plan obligations. The Road Management Plan determines the level of service that Council is required to deliver for the maintenance of the 1,717 kilometres of footpath, 1,183 kilometres of kerb and channel and 611 kilometres of roads it is responsible for.

In order to maximise cost effectiveness and provide flexibility of service, it is necessary to establish and maintain a panel of contractors.  It is common for this type of work that contractors are required, at short notice, to address urgent issues and therefore maintaining access to a panel of capable contractors is preferable.

DISCUSSION

On 13 February 2013, Council awarded Contract 12020 for the Provision of Concrete / Asphalt Paving and Kerbing Services to Civil Asset Management Services Pty Ltd, Parente Paving Pty Ltd, Roma Bros Pty Ltd and Pavers Plus Pty Ltd, following a public tender process. The original 4 year term of the Contract will expire on 13 February 2017. The Contract allows for a 1 year extension at Council’s discretion.

All contractors have delivered an excellent standard of service throughout the contract period and the performance of the Contractors has been closely monitored and measured through regular onsite inspections and audits. All Contractors have met contract requirements with regards to the promotion of service and the appropriate high standard of representation of Council to the public.

All contractors have agreed to accept Council’s offer to extend the Contract under the current Contract terms and conditions, subject to Council approval. The extension of this Contract will negate the need to conduct a new tender process for these services for the next 12 month period.

CONSULTATION

The Council officers in the City Works department involved in managing the contractors have been consulted with regards to the extension of this Contract.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The contract for the provision of concrete, asphalt paving and kerbing services is based on an agreed Schedule of Rates. The rates are subject to a CPI adjustment on each anniversary of the contract.

The average expenditure under this contract over the initial contract term was approximately $2 million per annum. It is anticipated that the expenditure over the next year will be of a similar magnitude.

The costs incurred under this contract will be charged to the relevant Operational and Capital budgets managed by both City Works and Engineering and Environmental Services.

9.3.1      The Whitehorse Manningham Regional Library Corporation Agreement

ATTACHMENT

 

SUMMARY

The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council sign the Whitehorse Manningham Regional Library Corporation Agreement.

 

RECOMMENDATION

That Council sign the agreement and affix the Common Seal to the document.

 

 

background

The Whitehorse Manningham Regional Library Corporation (“the Regional Library”) was established in December 1995 pursuant to the provisions of section 196 of the Local Government Act 1989 (“the Act”). A number of regional library corporations were established during this period. The regional library agreements were based on a model agreement prepared by the State Government.

The Agreement is the document which formally establishes the Regional Library and contains the matters that are fundamental to the direction and operation of the Regional Library. The Agreement is supported by the Regional Library’s:

a)      Annual Budget;

b)      Library Plan;

c)      Strategic Resource Plan; and

d)      Policies.

 

The Board at its meeting on 24 August 2016 considered a report in relation to a new Library Agreement. The current Agreement required updating to reflect current legislative requirements, remove outdated references and to reflect current practice.  (Refer Attachment 1)

 

As required under the Local Government Act 1989 persuant to sections 197(1) and section 223 a Public Notice inviting submissions was published in the Age and on the Library website on 24 October 2016. No submissions were received.

DISCUSSION

At the meeting of the Library Board on 14 December 2016 the Board resolved the following:

That the Board, acting in accordance with sections 196, 197 and 223 of the Local Government Act 1989 and having given public notice of its intention to execute the proposed Agreement:

a)      Notes that no submissions were received;

b)      Resolves to adopt the proposed agreement;

c)      Refers the proposed Agreement to the two member councils for approval;

d)      Refers the proposed Agreement to the Minister for Local Government for approval by notice published in the Government Gazette.

It is proposed that the Agreement be reviewed every four years in line with the development of the Four Year Library Plan.

CONSULTATION

The draft Agreement was adopted by the Board and was placed out for public consultation in October 2016, as required by section 223 and 196 (2) of the Act.

The draft Agreement was duly advertised and no submissions were received. 

The Agreement has been updated to reflect legislative amendments to the Local Government Act 1989 which have occurred and changes in practices and service delivery with the Library Corporation. The updated Agreement will have no effect on the funding provisions for or the operation of the Regional Library.

The process has concluded that the Agreement is fundamentally sound and is similar to other regional library agreements. There is no change to the intent of the Agreement. The changes required are to:

a)      Refer to the continuation rather than the formation of the Regional Library;

b)      Amend several clauses to reflect legislative changes and changes in practices (eg: term of membership of Board members and Board vacancies); and

c)      Remove redundant clauses.

The Agreement continues to be a flexible document for the member Councils; retaining the ability for the Councils to agree to changes, such as additional services to be provided by the Regional Library, changes to the Council contributions and changes to the parties, without the requirement to seek approval of the Minister.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The agreement is subject to Council’s annual budget process.

CONSULTATION

The legislative requirement for Council to complete supplementary valuations is contained within the Valuation of Land Act 1960.  All supplementary valuations contained in this report have been undertaken in accordance with the 2016 Valuation Best Practice Specifications Guidelines.

The supplementary valuations completed during October and November have been certified by the Valuer-General’s office (VGV) as being suitable for use by Council. The supplementary valuations completed during December have been submitted to the VGV, and are awaiting certification.  Please note that Councils may use supplementary valuations prior to VGV certification.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The total change to the Capital Improved Value (CIV) caused by the supplementary valuations undertaken is an increase of $310,764,000. This change in CIV has generated an additional $308,768 of supplementary rate income. 

A summary of Council’s valuation totals for all rateable and non-rateable properties is shown below in Table #2, Table #3 and Table #4.

Ordinary Council Meeting                                                                           30 January 2017

 

9.4.2      Review of Mayoral and Councillor Allowances

FILE NUMBER: SF12/910

 

SUMMARY

 

The purpose of this report is to commence the review process of Mayoral and Councillor allowances as required under the Local Government Act 1989.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That Council:

 

1.    Having conducted a preliminary review of the Mayoral and Councillor allowances as required by Section 74 (1) of the Local Government Act,  proposes that the Councillor and Mayoral allowances for the next four financial years (i.e. 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2021, subject to annual indexation and any change by Order in Council,  be set at the following amount:

·        Councillor $29,630 pa

·      Mayoral $94,641 pa

·      Plus an amount equivalent to the superannuation guarantee contribution (currently 9.5%)

 

2.    In accordance with section 74(4) of the Local Government Act 1989, give public notice in the Whitehorse Leader on Monday 6 February 2017, as part of the public consultation on the proposed allowances and call for submissions under section 223 of the Act, and

 

3.    Advises that any submissions received will be considered and heard by the Special Committee of the whole Council on Tuesday 14 March 2017 at 8.00pm in the Council Chambers, Whitehorse Civic Centre 379 to 397 Whitehorse Rd Nunawading.

 

 

background

 

Section 74(1) of the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) requires Councils to “review and determine the level of Mayoral and the Councillor allowances within the period of six months after a general election or by next 30 June, whichever is later.”

 

This review is a public process and any person has a right to make a submission undersection 223 of the Act. This review will determine the allowances that will be payable from the range available for the next four years. The Allowances assist the Mayor and Councillors to offset expenses related to performing and fulfilling their role as a councillor representing the community.

DISCUSSION

 

Councillor allowances are indexed annually by the State Government under section 73B of the Act, having regard to movements in the levels of remuneration of executives within the meaning of the Public Administration Act 2004, with the most recent adjusted by the Minister for Local Government effective from the time of the new Council taking the Oath of Office. (Refer to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, circular 42/2016 dated 18 November 2016 Appendix 1 and Victoria Government Gazette G47 24 November 2016 Appendix 2) The Minister also advised that payment of allowances cannot exceed more than one month in advance.

 


 

Whitehorse Council is a Category 3 – and the range for allowances are:

 

·       Part A Mayor up to $94,641pa

·       Councillors $12,367pa - $29,630pa

 

Part B An amount equivalent to the superannuation guarantee – currently 9.5% is an additional component added to the allowance

 

To date, Whitehorse Council has paid the maximum amount. A quick survey of a number of

other metropolitan Councils has revealed that they also pay the maximum level, with the only exception being City of Kingston.

 

The Mayor is not entitled to receive a Councillor allowance if receiving the Mayoral allowance. Further Council does not have to pay an allowance to a Councillor or Mayor who does not want to receive an allowance.

 

Councillors can enter into an arrangement to effectively sacrifice their remuneration before they derive these amounts. Such sacrifice arrangements can be made into a complying superannuation fund and be designated before the payment is made.

 

Council must now determine what the limit of the allowances will be for the next four years and then commence the public consultation process to receive and hear if requested, any community comment on these limits. Council is then required to take into account any comments made by the public before confirming or changing the limit. Any such changes are effective from the date of the Council resolution.

CONSULTATION

Consulted with other Councils to compare allowances paid.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Budget allocation required to meet statutory requirements.

Whitehorse City Council

Ordinary Council Meeting                                                                           30 January 2017

 

9.4.5      Adoption of Instrument of Appointment and Authorisation under the Planning and Environment Act 1987

 

 

SUMMARY

The purpose of this report is to recommend approval of an Instrument of Appointment and Authorisation under the Planning and Environment Act 1987, from the Council to a position in the organisation.

 

RECOMMENDATION

That Council approve the proposed appointment of authorised officer pursuant to the Planning and Environment Act 1987 as attached to this report.

 

 

background

The proposed Instrument of Appointment and Authorisation (pursuant to the Planning and Environment Act 1987) has been prepared following advice received from Council’s solicitors Maddocks and is similar to that used by many Victorian municipalities.

The Instrument of Appointment and Authorisation allows Council officers to conduct their normal business in relation to enforcement of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and to act and commence proceedings in Council’s name.

These appointments must be made by resolution of the Council; section 3(6) of the Local Government Act 1989 defines ‘resolution of the council’ as including a power exercised under delegation (ie: by the Chief Executive Officer), however section 188 (2) (c) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 prohibits authorisations being made under delegation.
