DATE OF REPORT: 11 July 2016

SUMMARY: In June 2016 Council received a Coastal Vulnerability Study for the Broome townsite which identified that portions of the townsite are at risk of coastal inundation and coastal erosion in the period to 2110. State Planning Policy 2.6 – State Coastal Planning Policy requires that Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Planning be undertaken where the risk of coastal hazards has been identified.

To identify the area where these requirements will apply, this report recommends Council adopt for advertising purposes an amendment to Local Planning Scheme No. 6 to introduce a ‘Coastal Hazard Risk Area’ Special Control Area, which will include all land that will be subject to coastal hazards, and which will ultimately be covered by the Broome townsite Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan. It further recommends that the amendment be classified as a ‘standard amendment’ under the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 for the reasons set out in this report.

BACKGROUND

Previous Considerations

OMC 30 June 2016 Item 9.2.2

COMMENT

The Coastal Vulnerability Study (CVS) was undertaken to investigate the combined potential impacts of storm surge, coastal inundation, tidal movement, shoreline stability, stormwater drainage and the interactions of surface and groundwater on the townsite of Broome. The CVS identified that a number of areas within the townsite are predicted to be affected by coastal inundation (caused by a combination of storm surge and sea level rise) and/or coastal erosion in the period to 2110. Under State Planning Policy 2.6 – State Coastal Planning Policy (SPP 2.6), Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Planning (Adaptation Planning) is required to be undertaken prior to new development in locations where the risk of coastal hazards has been identified.

The Shire of Broome is currently preparing a Broome Townsite Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) in accordance with the Western Australian Planning Commission’s CHRMAP Guidelines. The CVS comprises the initial stages of the CHRMAP (establish the context, vulnerability assessment and risk identification) and the subsequent stages of the CHRMAP will analyse and evaluate the risk and identify and prioritise adaptation options with input from key stakeholders and the broader community.

It should be noted that the Broome townsite CHRMAP will represent a much more detailed and complex level of Adaptation Planning, compared with what would be required for an individual property subject to coastal hazards for which Adaptation Planning is required in accordance with SPP 2.6.

Whilst Adaptation Planning is a requirement of SPP 2.6 and hence must be a consideration when assessing development proposals, at present the Shire’s Local Planning Scheme No. 6 (LPS6) does not provide any information as to which areas of the townsite this requirement applies. The proposed Scheme Amendment will rectify this through establishing a ‘Special Control Area’ (SCA) which will include all land subject to coastal hazards.

Identification of land subject to coastal hazards

In accordance with SPP 2.6, land is considered to be ‘at risk of coastal hazards’ if in a 100 year timeframe it is subject to:

· The maximum extent of storm inundation, defined as the peak steady water level plus

wave run-up, with the storm event based on ocean forces and coastal processes that

have a 0.2 percent or one-in-five hundred year probability of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (500 year ARI event); and/or

· Erosion based on ocean forces and coastal processes from a tropical cyclone storm event which have a one percent or one-in-one hundred probability of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (100 year ARI event).

Coastal Erosion

The CVS utilised the formula in SPP 2.6 to determine the coastal processes allowance for erosion, which requires consideration of erosion generated from a 100 year ARI event at present day (as outlined above), historic shoreline movement, sea level rise and an uncertainty allowance. The coastal processes allowance for various time periods was captured on a series of ‘coastal processes maps’ which were included as Appendix G of the CVS. The map showing the coastal processes allowance for 2110 (depicted as a red line) in included as Attachment 1 to this report. Any lots which are seaward of the coastal process line in Attachment 1 are considered to be at risk of coastal hazards over the planning timeframe and will be included in the SCA.

It is noted that on the Roebuck Bay side of the Broome peninsula, the coastal processes allowance line in the CVS only extends as far north as Gray Street. The Shire’s appointed consultants for the CHRMAP used the data obtained through the CVS to further extend this line around Dampier Creek, and this line was used as the basis for the SCA.

Coastal Inundation

The coastal processes map in Attachment 1 depicts the combined level of inundation that is predicted from a 500 year ARI coastal inundation event and a 100 year ARI catchment flooding event (essentially, stormwater runoff as a result of a 100 year ARI rainfall event). This presents a ‘worst case scenario’ of two extreme events happening simultaneously, as could occur during a cyclone which crosses the coast on a high spring tide. Whilst this is useful as a reference, it does not strictly meet the SPP 2.6 criteria as it includes areas that will only be impacted by overland flooding from stormwater runoff, rather than by coastal processes.

For much of the Broome peninsula the coastal dune system is of sufficient height to protect adjoining land from the impacts of coastal inundation and in these areas the inundation shown on Attachment 1 is a result of overland flows. This is not the case, however, for those portions of the townsite that are adjacent to Dampier Creek, as these are located at a lower elevation without protective barrier dunes.

To separate the coastal and stormwater inundation extents, the Shire’s appointed consultants compared the outputs of the CVS modelling to the outputs of the District Stormwater Management Strategy (currently in progress), which considered overland flooding only. The difference between the two data sets was used to generate the extents of the SCA, as the area that would be affected by a 500 year ARI storm event.

In undertaking this ‘difference plot’ the Shire’s consultants noted that in some areas (parts of Old Broome, Roebuck Estate, Broome North and Sunset Park) the ability of the existing drainage system to cope with rainfall events will be constrained by an increase in water level by 2110 (due to 0.9m of sea level rise). Were a 500 year ARI storm event to occur at that time scale (which is the planning period under SPP 2.6), stormwater will be unable to discharge at all for a period of time, and will ‘back up’ through the drainage network and exacerbate the inundation experienced in a rainfall event. For this reason, some areas adjacent to roads and drainage reserves will experience flooding which can be partially attributed to ‘coastal inundation,’ despite being located some distance from the coast. The Shire’s consultants liaised with staff from the Department of Planning and Department of Transport and confirmed that this approach is consistent with SPP 2.6.

Based on the above, the extents of the SCA have been defined and are included as Attachment 2 to this report.

Attachment 1 – Coastal Processes Map 2110 (Cardno, 2015)

Attachment 2 – Proposed Extents of ‘Coastal Hazard Risk’ SCA

Key components of proposed scheme amendment

Officers have prepared a Scheme Amendment Report for Council’s consideration, which is included as Attachment 3 to this report. Key components of the proposed scheme amendment are summarised below.

· The scheme amendment will create a ‘Coastal Hazard Risk’ SCA over land identified in the CVS to be at risk of coastal inundation or erosion until 2110.

· LPS6 already requires all development within a SCA to obtain Development Approval, and this will continue in the ‘Coastal Hazard Risk’ SCA. However, should a lot be only partially included in the SCA, the requirement to obtain development approval will not apply for development that is otherwise exempt from the need to obtain development approval, if the development is located on a portion of the site that is wholly outside the extent of the SCA. For instance, if a portion of the front setback is included in the SCA, a shed built to the rear of the lot will not require approval if it is otherwise exempt under the Scheme.

· Further, the scheme amendment will allow for certain exemptions to the requirement to obtain development approval for development that is considered to be of low risk, such as:

o temporary or non-permanent structures not used for human habitation;

o extensions to existing single, grouped, or multiple dwellings where the gross floor area of the extension is no more than 50m²; and

o a change of use to a ‘P’ (permitted) use where no new structures are proposed.

These exemptions will only apply in circumstances where development is otherwise exempt from requiring approval under LPS6.

· The scheme amendment will require Adaptation Planning to be undertaken in accordance with the methodology set out in SPP 2.6 for all new development in the SCA that does not fall within one of the exemptions outlined above. The Broome Townsite CHRMAP, once completed, will meet this requirement. However in the interim, the responsibility will be on development proponents to demonstrate that they have considered the risk of coastal hazards identified in the CVS, and have designed the proposed development to avoid, accommodate or mitigate those risks. To provide guidance to proponents in this regard, it is envisaged that officers will prepare a Local Planning Policy setting out minimum standards for development specific Adaptation Planning, and this will be provided to Council for consideration in due course.

· Once the Broome Townsite CHRMAP has been adopted, proponents will retain the ability to request variations to it on a case by case basis, should they demonstrate through an Adaptation Planning process an alternative solution that can satisfactorily manage the hazard risk.

· Council will have the right to refuse any Adaptation Planning proposal if it considers the adaptation strategies proposed will lead to adverse impacts on the occupiers or users of the development, the inhabitants of the locality, the functionality of any reserve in the locality or the likely future development of the locality.

Attachment 3 – Scheme Amendment Report

Classification of amendment under the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015

In August 2015 the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (the Regulations) came into force. The Regulations changed the process to amend local planning schemes by introducing three ‘tracks’ of amendments. Amendments must now be classified by the Shire as one of the tracks – ‘basic’, ‘standard’ or ‘complex’. The assessment process and timeframe varies according to what classification is selected.

A ‘basic’ amendment is generally intended to correct an administrative error in the scheme or to amend the scheme in a way that is consistent with another piece of legislation, which is not applicable to this proposed scheme amendment. In determining whether the amendment is ‘standard’ or ‘complex,’ the Regulations require Council to consider the following criteria:

· whether the amendment is consistent with the Shire’s Local Planning Strategy;

· whether the amendment will have a significant impact on other land in the scheme area not subject to the amendment; and

· whether the amendment will result in any significant environmental, social, economic or governance impacts on land in the scheme area.

Each of these criteria is addressed below.

Consistency with the Local Planning Strategy

The Local Planning Strategy contains the following objective and actions in Section 2.4.12 – Natural Resource and Environment Management:

3. (Objective): Incorporate adaptation strategies to ensure mitigation against coastal vulnerability and climate change.

o (Action): Prepare a coastal vulnerability study to inform management practices for coastal foreshore areas;

o (Action): Determine the appropriate foreshore reserve required to accommodate coastal processes as per State Planning Policy 2.6.

The SCA will articulate the area that will be affected by coastal processes, which is directly based on the outcomes of the CVS. Further, by requiring development within the SCA to be consistent with approved Adaptation Planning, the SCA will ensure development proposals incorporate adaptation strategies to mitigate against coastal vulnerability and climate change.

Potential Impacts of the scheme amendment

The addition of the SCA is considered to have minimal impact on other land in the scheme area not subject to the amendment, as the provisions of the SCA will only apply to affected land.

The amendment could potentially result in some economic and social impacts on some properties that are included in the SCA. However, as the requirement to undertake Adaptation Planning is established in SPP 2.6 (which applies throughout Western Australia), the SCA is not adding any new requirements. Instead, it is clearly indicating the land to which the existing state planning framework applies.

For the reasons outlined above, officers recommend that the amendment be classified as a ‘standard amendment.’

CONSULTATION

As required under the Regulations, should Council adopt the proposed standard amendment for advertising purposes, public advertising will be undertaken for a period of 42 days. Public advertising will consist of:

· publication of a public notice in a newspaper circulating in the scheme area;

· display of a copy of the notice in the Shire administration office and on the Shire website;

· display of a copy of the scheme amendment documentation for public inspection;

· providing the notice to any public authority the Shire considers will be affected by the amendment; and

· providing the notice to any landowners whose property is proposed to be incorporated into the SCA.

Any submissions received during the public advertising period will be presented back to Council for its consideration.

Community engagement into the development of the Broome Townsite CHRMAP will be wide ranging in accordance with the Community Engagement Strategy for the project received by Council in June 2016.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS

State Planning Policy 2.6

5.5 Coastal hazard risk management and adaptation planning

(i) Adequate coastal hazard risk management and adaptation planning should be undertaken by the responsible management authority and/or proponent where existing or proposed development or landholders are in an area at risk of being affected by coastal hazards over the planning timeframe. Coastal hazard risk management and adaptation planning should include as a minimum, a process that establishes the context, vulnerability assessment, risk identification, analysis, evaluation, adaptation, funding arrangements, maintenance, monitoring and review, and communicate and consult.

(ii) Where a coastal hazard risk is identified it should be disclosed to those likely to be affected. On consideration of approval for subdivision and/or development current and/or future lot owners should be made aware of the coastal hazard risk by providing the following notification on the certificate on title: VULNERABLE COASTAL AREA –This lot is located in a area likely to be subject to coastal erosion and/or inundation over the next 100 years.

(iii) Where risk assessments identify a level of risk that is unacceptable to the affected community or proposed development, adaptation measures need to be prepared to reduce those risks down to acceptable or tolerable levels. Adaptation measures should be sought from the following coastal hazard risk management and adaptation planning hierarchy on a sequential and preferential basis:

(1) Avoid the presence of new development within an area identified to be affected by coastal hazards. Determination of the likely consequences of

coastal hazards should be done in consideration of local conditions and in

accordance with the guidelines provided in Schedule One.

(2) Planned or Managed Retreat or the relocation or removal of assets within an area identified as likely to be subject to intolerable risk of damage from coastal hazards over the planning time frame.

(3) If sufficient justification can be provided for not avoiding development of land that is at risk from coastal hazards then Accommodation adaptation measures should be provided that suitably address the identified risks. Such measures would involve design and/or management strategies that render the risks from the identified coastal hazards acceptable.

(4) Where sufficient justification can be provided for not avoiding the use or development of land that is at risk from coastal hazards and accommodation measures alone cannot adequately address the risks from coastal hazards, then coastal Protection works may be proposed for areas where there is a need to preserve the foreshore reserve, public access and public safety, property and infrastructure that is not expendable.

5.11 Precautionary principle

(i) Where there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason to postpone measures to prevent environmental degradation.

(ii) The onus is on any proponent to show that development does not pose any likelihood of serious or irreversible harm to the environment.

(iii) If the proponent cannot demonstrate there is not a likelihood of such harm, the onus is on the development proponent to show that the harm can be managed.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

As the Shire is preparing the scheme amendment, there will be minor costs associated with undertaking public advertising. It is estimated these costs will not exceed $800 and will be accommodated within the existing operational budget.

There may be future financial implications on landowners located within the SCA, as there is the possibility that development on some lots may be restricted through the required Adaptation Planning. However, as SPP 2.6 applies regardless of whether a SCA is in place, these restrictions can be imposed through the subdivision and/or development application processes in any event. By undertaking a CHRMAP for the Broome Townsite, the Shire is endeavouring to provide a coordinated, holistic approach to managing coastal hazards that will eliminate the need for affected landowners to undertake site-specific assessments, and incur costs associated with this, when new development is proposed. However, the proposed scheme amendment does allow for landowners to exercise this option, should they wish to undertake non-exempt development in the interim before the Broome Townsite CHRMAP is finalised, or as a variation to the CHRMAP once it is adopted.

With respect to potential implications on property insurance, it is noted that most domestic insurance policies do not currently cover damage caused by actions of the sea, or only cover storm surge if it coincides with damage caused by other hazards during a storm event (such as freshwater flooding or winds). Additionally, most domestic insurance policies generally exclude covering loss of land or damage to structures due to coastal erosion – land owners bear the risk of these hazards themselves. Domestic insurance typically does not cover damage related to sea level rise.

RISK

By undertaking the CVS the Shire recognised that coastal hazards are an ongoing risk which need to be recognised, evaluated and ultimately managed. Risk identification in the CVS was undertaken in accordance with SPP 2.6 and the precautionary principle, which minimises the risk of future liability to the Shire. The preparation of the Broome Townsite CHRMAP will further reduce risk by providing a series of targeted actions that can be undertaken to manage, or adapt to, the identified risks.

Notwithstanding this, a risk of future liability to the Shire remains should it fail to take into account the outcomes of the CVS in making planning decisions. The proposed SCA will reduce the chance of this occurring as it will ensure that areas at risk of coastal hazards under the CVS are clearly identified to Shire staff, Councillors, landowners and community members through LPS6. The SCA will provide a trigger for those undertaking and assessing development that the recommendations of the CHRMAP must be taken into account.

It is noted that the proposed SCA captures all properties that will be impacted by coastal hazards (as defined and discussed in the above sections), and does not differentiate between levels of risk. For instance, some properties in the SCA may be subject to over 1 metre of coastal inundation, as well as the risk of erosion, whilst others may be subject to inundation as a result of a temporary backup in the stormwater discharge system caused by a storm surge event, with minimal depth of flooding lasting for a short duration. The CHRMAP will consider the variations in risk likelihood and consequence and the preferred adaptation options will be designed accordingly.

VOTING REQUIREMENTS

Simple Majority

REPORT RECOMMENDATION:

That Council:

1. Pursuant to Section 75 of the Planning and Development Act 2005, amends the Shire of Broome Local Planning Scheme No. 6 for the purpose of public advertising by:

(a) Amending Clause 6.1.1 to insert subclause ix. as follows:

(ix.) Coastal Hazard Risk Area (SCA9)

(b) Inserting a new Clause 6.2.9 as follows:

6.2.9 Coastal Hazard Risk Area (SCA9)

6.2.9.1 Objective:

To ensure new development adequately considers the risk of coastal hazards.

6.2.9.2 The provisions of this SCA9 do not apply where a development is proposed on land entirely outside the mapped SCA9 extent, even if a portion of the lot upon which the development is proposed is included in the SCA.

6.2.9.3 Coastal hazard risk management and adaptation planning is required to be undertaken for all new development within SCA9 in accordance with State Planning Policy 2.6 and any endorsed local planning policy, to the satisfaction of the local government, prior to the granting of development approval.

6.2.9.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 6.1.3 and 6.2.9.3, development approval is not required within SCA9 for the following development, if such development is otherwise exempt from requiring development approval under the Scheme:

(a) temporary or non-permanent structures not used for human habitation;

(b) extensions to an existing single, grouped, or multiple dwelling where the gross floor area of the proposed extensions is no more than 50m²; and

(c) a change of use to a ‘P’ use where no new structures are proposed.

6.2.9.5 The local government may refuse to support coastal hazard risk management and adaptation planning proposals where it is considered the proposal will lead to adverse impacts on the occupiers or users of the development, the inhabitants of the locality, the functionality of any reserve in the locality or the likely future development of the locality.

(c) Amending the Scheme Maps by:

(i) Inserting a new Special Control Area in the legend, to be labelled ‘SCA9 – Coastal Hazard Risk Area (See Scheme Text)’; and

(ii) Inserting SCA9 on Maps 10, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33 as set out in Attachment 2.

2. Determines that the amendment is a standard amendment under the provisions of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 for the following reasons:

(a) It is consistent with the Shire’s Local Planning Strategy, particularly the provisions in Section 2.4.12 – Natural Resource and Environment Management;

(b) It is consistent with State Planning Policy 2.6; and

(c) It will have minimal impacts on land in the scheme area that is not subject to the amendment.

3. Requests the Chief Executive Officer to forward this resolution and the amendment documentation to the Environmental Protection Authority pursuant to Section 81 of the Planning and Development Act 2005; and

4. Subject to the advice of the Environmental Protection Authority under Section 48A of the Environmental Protection Act that the amendment is not subject to formal environmental assessment, requests the Chief Executive Officer to advertise the amendment for 42 days as per the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.

Proposed amendments to correct administrative errors

Regulation / Clause		Proposed change		Justification	WALGA response
Regulations
All of Regulations	Change the reference to ‘sections’ at the top of each page to ‘regulations.’		Rectify drafting error.		Support
Model Provisions
cl.7(1) - Contents of scheme	Add additional subclause to the effect ‘the supplemental provisions to the deemed provisions contained in Schedule A of the scheme (if any).’		When undertaking scheme ‘conversions’ to bring local planning schemes into conformity with the new Regulations, planning officers at the Department of Planning have been encouraging local governments to consolidate all of their scheme provisions that are ‘supplemental’ to the deemed provisions into a separate section of the scheme called ‘Schedule A’ for clarity and ease of reference. Accordingly, this proposed change to model provision 7(1) will ensure that it is clear to users of those schemes that the supplemental provisions contained in ‘Schedule A’ form part of the scheme.		7(1) states “In addition to the provisions set out in this document (the scheme text)” so isn’t this just a double up? Without seeing the exact wording, this may still cause confusion.
Deemed Provisions
cl.28(3) - Commission may extend period of approval of a structure plan	Remove words ‘or the conditions attached to the approval.’		This phrase does not have any utility as the Commission does not have the ability under the deemed provisions to approve a structure plan subject to conditions.		Conditional support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

Proposed amendments to clarify the original intent of clauses or provisions where unintended

outcomes have resulted from the drafting process

Regulation / Clause

Proposed change

Justification

WALGA response

r.8(1)(c) - contents of local planning scheme

Amend r.8(1)(c) to match the wording used in cl.7(1)(a) of the deemed provisions.

To avoid confusion about deemed provisions being incorporated into schemes.

Assuming that the proposed change refers to cl.7(1)(a) of the model provisions rather than the deemed provisions.

If yes, then this change is conditionally supported (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

r.15(1) - timeframe for LG to refer documents to Commission to endorse local planning strategy

Change timeframe for Commission to endorse local planning strategy from 60 days to 120 days.

Change to 120 days will ensure that the process for endorsing a strategy is consistent with the timeframes in the equivalent process for new schemes and complex amendments.

If the justification is to ensure consistency, why not change the timeframes for new schemes and complex amendments to 60 days rather than increasing this timeframe? This would also assist in the State’s Planning Reform agenda to streamline the planning process and reduce delays.

r.22(4) - advertising timeframes

Reduce ‘submission period’ for new schemes and each stream of scheme amendments by amending r.22(4)(a) to 60 days, r.38(4) to 42 days and r.47(4) to 28 days.

There proposed reductions to minimum submission periods reflect the original intent of Regulations. The original intention was to reduce advertising times for new schemes from the previous Regulations, that complex amendments have a timeframe that is the same as the previous scheme amendment process and that standard amendments have a timeframe that is shorter than the previous amendment process. Under the current version of Regulations complex amendments are advertised for longer than the single track amendment process was under the previous Regulations.

‘To reflect the original intent’ is a not a proper justification for change. A more robust justification is needed here. Otherwise the reduced consultation timeframes may be perceived as another way to remove the community from the process, and may further disenfranchise many community members.

r.34 - definitions of ‘complex’ amendment

Remove details of ‘complex’ amendment definition and replace with ‘any amendment that does not fall within the definitions of ‘standard’ or ‘basic’ amendment’ or remove the criteria in the ‘complex’ amendment definition which is likely to conflict with the ‘standard’ amendment criteria and clarifying the intent of the ‘complex’ amendment stream

An amendment currently may currently fall within two of the amendment stream definitions. For example, the amendment may be consistent with a region planning scheme (a ‘standard’ amendment) but also be inconsistent with a local planning strategy for the area because the strategy is out of date (a ‘complex’ amendment). It is the intention that the ‘complex’ amendment stream be the ‘default’ stream in that any amendment that does not fall within the definitions of ‘standard’ amendment or ‘basic’ amendment are automatically a ‘complex’ amendment. The intent of the ‘complex’ amendment stream is to capture amendments that do not comply with the endorsed strategic planning framework; may have significant external impacts; identify or amend a Development Contribution Plan; or any other amendment that does not fall within the ‘standard’ or ‘basic’ amendment definitions.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

r.34(a) - definition of ‘basic’ amendment

Add to definition of ‘basic’ amendment an amendment that is purely administrative in nature.

The definition of ‘basic’ amendment currently includes amendments that are a result of an ‘administrative error.’ However, local government may have very basic administrative changes (re-numbering for example) that has not resulted from an ‘error’ per se but it would be appropriate for them to be progressed as a ‘basic’ amendment.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

r.34(b) - definition of ‘basic’ amendment

Add to definition of ‘basic’ amendment an amendment to the scheme map for consistency with Schedule 3.

Currently the definition of ‘basic’ amendment only references amendments that bring the scheme into consistency with Schedules 1 and 2 of the Regulations (the model and deemed provisions) but does not capture the zones names and colours listed in Schedule 3.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

r.34(b) - definition of ‘basic’ amendment

Add to definition of ‘basic’ amendment an amendment to remove or amend scheme provisions that conflict with the Regulations.

Currently the definition of ‘basic’ amendment only references amendments that bring the scheme into consistency with Schedules 1 and 2 of the

Regulations (the model and deemed provisions) but does not capture changes to the scheme that need to be removed or amended for consistency with the Regulations themselves.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

r.34(c) - definition of ‘basic’ amendment

Add to paragraph (c) of the definition of ‘basic’ amendment, an amendment to the scheme text to delete or amend provisions that have been superseded by the deemed provisions.

Currently, paragraph (c) of the definition of ‘basic’ amendment refers to an amendment to the scheme text to ‘delete’ provisions that have been superseded by the deemed provisions. However, in many cases current scheme provisions just need to be reworded so that they are not inconsistent with the deemed provisions rather than deleted in their entirety.

Therefore, it is proposed that a proposal to ‘amend’ a scheme provision as a result of the deemed provisions to be a ‘basic amendment.’

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

r.34(d) - definition of ‘complex’ amendment

Remove subclause (d) from the definition of ‘complex’ amendment and include a new provision which provides that where the Minister orders a local government to amend their scheme as a result of under s.76 or 77A of the Act, then the Minister is to determine which amendment stream is appropriate for progressing the amendment. This new provision could be located in r.7, which provides that the Regulations apply to a scheme amendment that has resulted from an order under section 76 or 77A.

Currently paragraph (d) of the definition of ‘complex’ amendment includes an amendment made to comply with an order made by the Minister under section 76 or 77A of the Act. However, it is not necessarily the case that because the Minister has ordered a local government to amend their scheme under one of these sections that it is ‘complex’ in nature. For example, it may be the case that the Minister orders a local government to amend their scheme for consistency with a region planning scheme that applies to the area. In this scenario, it is likely that the amendment could be progressed as a ‘basic’ amendment.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

r.37(5) - resolution to proceed to advertise ‘complex’ amendment

Amend r.37(5) to make it clear that if the local government resolves not to proceed to advertise a scheme amendment under r.37(1) (c), then the local government must provide a copy of that resolution to the Commission within 21 days. Also clarify that if the Local government resolves not to proceed to advertise a complex amendment then the scheme amendment process stops there (i.e. the Commission does not need to consider it and the Minister does not need to make a decision on the amendment).

Currently, the ordering of the provisions under r.37 suggest that the a local government can resolve to proceed to advertise a scheme amendment, but then refuse to make the modifications requested by the Commission under r.37(4).

Also there appears to be confusion as to whether, under cl.37, a local government resolves not to proceed to advertise the scheme amendment that the scheme amendment does not progress any further.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

r.38(3) - advertising ‘complex’ amendment - copy at office of WAPC

Remove requirement for a ‘complex’ amendment to be made available for inspection at the office of the Commission under r.38(3)(b).

Currently, under r.38(3), during the advertising of a ‘complex’ amendment, the local government must make sure that the amendment is available for inspection at the office of the local government and the Commission. However, under r.47(3) a ‘standard’ amendment only needs to be made available for inspection at the office of the local government.

Therefore, removing the requirement for a ‘complex’ amendment to be made available for inspection at the office of the Commission will ensure consistency with the ‘standard’ amendment process.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

The justification should also acknowledge that it was unreasonable to expect that any local government could have control over the public advertising display space at the Commission’s office.

r. 47(2)(c) - advertisement of a ‘standard’ amendment

Amend r.47(2)(c) to provide that when the local government provides a copy of the notice of the ‘standard’ amendment to each public authority that is likely to be affected by the amendment, the local government is also to provide a copy of the notice to the Commission (for its information not for assessment).

For a new schemes and ‘complex’ amendments the Commission is sent a copy of the proposal before it is advertised. However, this is not the case with a ‘standard’ amendment because there is no second resolution to proceed to advertise the amendment. Currently for a ‘standard’ amendment the Commission does not become aware of the proposed amendment until it is submitted to the Commission for assessment.

Not supported. It could be clearer to add in a new section r.47(2)(f) which just required the local government to send the Commission a copy of the notice.

Attaching it to clause r.47(2)(c) may cause more confusion, as it implies that the Commission wants to see all of the notices sent to the public authorities. If the Commission just wants to be aware of the amendment, then one copy of the notice would be easier for the administration of this requirement.

r.67(1) - decision of Commission on LPS review

Amend r.67(1) to provide that if the Commission disagrees with the recommendation in the report of review, the Commission can direct to undertake such steps as the Commission sees fit.

Under s.92(1)(b) of the PD Act, the Minister can either approve the review and recommendations with respect to the Scheme or require the local government to take any further action directed by the Minister before the review is resubmitted for the

Minister’s approval (i.e. if the recommendation is that a new scheme should not be prepared, the Minister can direct a new scheme to be prepared). This option is not available to the Commission under r.67(1). Therefore, it is suggested that r.67(1)(a) be amended so that if the Commission disagrees with the local government’s recommendation then it can direct the local government to do what the Commission thinks is necessary.

Not Supported.

This is a major change in the ‘power’ of the WAPC, and could provide the WAPC with the same powers of the Minister, in being able to direct a LG ‘to do what the Commission thinks is necessary’. And without clear governance being proposed to accompany this regulation change, these powers may not be used correctly.

It may be more appropriate to clarify that the Commission may forward the report on the review of a local planning scheme to the Minister to consider, who can then consider the use of the provisions of s.92(1)(b).

r.77 - definition of ‘planning instrument’

Move definition of ‘planning instrument’ contained in r.77 to r.3 so that the definition applies to the Regulations in their entirety, including the deemed provisions.

The SAT case of Terra Spei Ltd v Shire of Kalamunda noted that this definition of ‘planning instrument’ only applies for the purpose of Part 9, and cannot be applied to the reference to ‘planning instrument’ in cl.67(b) of the deemed provisions.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

Model Provisions

WALGA response

cl.18(2) - definition of ‘P’ use

Replace the word ‘any’ with ‘all’.

This amendment will clarify that in order for a use to be considered a ‘P’ use, it much comply with all of the development standards and requirements in the scheme which apply to the proposed use.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.18(7) - explanation of how to deal with an application for

development approval in an urban development zone

Move cl.18(7) to cl.27 of the deemed provisions (and equivalent clauses for activity centre plans and local development plans).

Moving cl.18(7) to the deemed provisions is intended to provide clarification how to determine a planning application where land use permissibilities are contained in a structure plan, as this has cause considerable confusion.

Conditional Support as without seeing the exact wording, this may just add further confusion

cl.20 - restricted uses

Replicate the legislative note in cl.4.6 of the previous MST in cl.20 of the model provisions. This legislative note says ‘ a restricted use is the only use or uses that is permitted on a specific portion of land and other uses that would otherwise be permissible in the zone are not permitted.’

There is currently some confusion with respect to how the restricted uses table is to be used. Clause 14 of the model provisions (which is based on the 1999 MST) provides that only the uses listed in the restricted use table are permitted on the site. This is the most common way the table is used. However, the local planning manual suggests that the table is to be used to list uses that are prohibited on the site, notwithstanding that the use may be listed as permitted in the zoning table. This proposed amendment will clarify that the restricted use table should be used to identify the only uses that are permitted on the identified site.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.25(4) - when the R-Codes apply

Amend cl.25(4) to clarify that the R-Codes apply to an area if it has a coding number superimposed on the scheme map or in a provision of the scheme that applies the R-Codes.

In some cases scheme provisions, rather than the scheme map, identify the R-Coding for an area. E.g. a scheme provision may say that residential development in a rural zone is to be in accordance with the R10 coding. The intention of this proposed amendment is to ensure the R-Codes apply where such provisions are used.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.34 - variations to site and development standards

Broaden cl.34 to allow for variation to any site or development standard contained in the scheme. Also, add a provision similar to cl.5.5.1 of the previous MST to clarify that this clause does not apply with respect to development to which the R-Codes apply.

It is common for site and development standards to be disbursed throughout the scheme text. For example, many schemes include site and development standards in under the zone objectives. Therefore, it is preferred that cl.34 be broadened to allow for variation to any site and development standards contained in the scheme, rather than only those contained in cl.32 and cl.33 of the model provisions. Adding a provision similar to cl.5.5.1 of the previous MST will ensure that cl.34 does not allow for variation to the requirements of the R-Codes (as the R-Codes have their own in built variation mechanisms).

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.34 - variations to site and development standards

Move cl.34 to the deemed provisions.

Clause 34 is considered to be of great importance and it has been suggested that it be moved to the deemed provisions.

Not Supported.

‘of great importance’ is not sufficient justification to warrant moving this clause to the deemed provisions. And who has actually suggested moving the clause?

Greater consultation on this clause would be needed with all stakeholders prior to moving it to the deemed provisions as it will affect all 140 Local Governments Local Planning Schemes

cl.38 - definition of animal husbandry - intensive

Amend definition as follows: ‘Premises used for keeping, rearing or fattening of alpacas, beef and dairy cattle, goats, pigs, poultry (for either egg or meat production), rabbits (for either meat or fur production), sheep or other livestock in feedlots, sheds or rotational pens.

Outcome of review of SPP 2.5.

Doesn’t ‘other livestock’ already cover these additional animals?

cl.38 - definition of aged care

Add definition for aged care facility/ nursing home to mean ‘a premises used to provide accommodation and personal or nursing care for the aged and may include recreational, health or laundry facilities and services for residents of the facility.’

Concerns have been raised by City of Nedlands that if a local government wanted to allow for aged care/ nursing homes in residential areas the closest existing definition in the model provisions is a ‘hospital.’ However, it was argued that allowing for a ‘hospital’ in a residential zone may not be appropriate. This proposed definition is currently contained in the Victorian model planning provisions.

WALGA has undertaken some preliminary

research into this issue, and spoken with

several Local Governments and Aged Care

providers as to what definition may be more

appropriate. The new definition WALGA

puts forward for discussion is:

Aged Care Accommodation: means a facility

which encompasses residential aged care;

a premises in which persons receive medical

and domestic care due to illness or disability,

and retirement villages; or a development

containing accommodation for aged persons.

NOTE: Aged Care Accommodation could also include ancillary services, including respite care or small commercial operations e.g. a small café or hairdresser, which can be accessed by the residents and possibly the wider public.

While the wording of this definition will need further discussion, WALGA has taken the advice of its members and Aged Care providers and provided a definition which incorporates the direction that aged care facilities are taking, in encouraging ageing in place through the co-locating of residential aged care and retirement villages. This definition includes other accommodation types such as supported accommodation, transitional care and respite care, as well as ancillary facilities which are available to both residents and the wider community.

cl.38 - definition of bulky goods showroom

Amend definition by changing the ‘or’ between subclause (a) and (b) to an ‘and’ and clarify that the list of products in subclause

(a) is not exhaustive.

Currently, small shops which sell party supplies, for example, would be classed as a ‘bulky goods showroom’ even though the premises does not require a large area or a bay for collection of goods.

What is a definition of a large area? Suggest a size threshold might be more appropriate as per the size threshold for large and small liquor stores outlined in WALGA’s Alcohol Management Guide.

cl.38 - definition of fast food outlet/ lunch bar

Separate the definitions of fast food outlet and lunch bar, retaining the current definition for fast food outlet and adopting the definition for lunch bar from the previous Model Scheme Text.

There is concern that there may be zones where a lunch bar is appropriate but not a fast food outlet like McDonalds.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.38 - definition of freeway service centre

Amend definition to add the underlined text: ‘Premises that has direct access to a freeway and which provides all the following services or facilities and may provide other associated facilities or services but does not provide bulk fuel services -

(a) service station facilities;

(b) emergency breakdown repair for vehicles;

(d) facilities for cyclists;

(e) restaurant, café or fast food services, excluding the sale or consumption of alcohol under the Liquor Licensing Act 19 88;

(f) take-away food retailing, without a drive- through facility;

(g) public ablution facilities, including provision for truckers, disabled access and infant changing rooms;

(h) parking for passenger and freight vehicles;

(i) outdoor rest stop facilities such as picnic tables and shade areas; and

(j) dump points for the disposal of black and/or grey water from recreational vehicles.’

Outcome of review of DC 1.10.

Support.

cl.38 - definition of industry cottage

Add back in the definition of industry cottage from previous Model Scheme Text.

This will allow people to make crafts at their home and then sell them from their home, which is common in rural areas.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.38 - new definition for ‘renewable energy facility’

Add a new definition for ‘renewable energy facility’ to replace the ‘wind farm’ definition with the following definition: “renewable energy facility means premises used to generate energy from a renewable energy source and includes any building or other structure used in, or in connection with, the generation of energy by a renewable resource. It does not include solar panels or

a wind turbine located on a lot with a single house where the energy produced only supplies that house or private rural use or anemometers.”

To capture solar facilities and wind farms.

Suggest the definition is made clearer, particularly the definition of a renewable energy source – for example does this definition include energy from waste facilities?

cl.38 - definition of road house

Change ‘road house’ to ‘roadhouse’ and amend definition by adding the underlined text: ‘Premises that has direct access to a State road other than a freeway and which provides the services or facilities provided by a freeway service centre and may provide any of the following facilities or services:-

(a) a full range of automotive repair services;

(b) wrecking, panel beating and spray painting services;

(d) short-term accommodation for guests;

(e) facilities for being a muster point in response to accidents, natural disasters and other emergencies; and

(f) dump points for the disposal of black and/or grey water from recreational vehicles.’

Outcome of review of DCP 1.10.

Support.

cl.38 - definition of ‘service station’

Change the ‘or’ between subclauses (a) and

(b) of the definition to ‘and/or’.

Currently, the ‘or’ between subclauses (a) and (b) of the definition of ‘service station’ means that a

service station can sell petrol but cannot undertake minor mechanical repairs to vehicles. Concern has been raised that a large number of service stations, as well as selling petrol, also offer mechanical repairs, tyre repairs and greasing and the way the definition is currently drafted would prevent this. This proposed amendment will, for example, allow a service station to sell petrol and provide services for minor mechanical repairs. Alternatively it will allow the service station to sell petrol without offering mechanical repairs.

Support.

cl.38 - definition of ‘shop’

Revise the definition of shop to address land uses like department stores and supermarkets.

Currently the definition of ‘shop’ would include a supermarket and department stores. There may be zones where a small shop is appropriate but not a supermarket or department store.

How will this be achieved, by size?

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.38 - new definition for ‘repurposed dwelling’ and ‘second hand dwelling’

Add new definitions for ‘repurposed dwelling’ and ‘second hand dwelling’ as follows: ‘repurposed dwelling’ ‘means a building or structure not previously used as a single house which has been repurposed for use as a dwelling.’ ‘second hand dwelling’ ‘means a dwelling that has been in a different location, and has been dismantled and transported to another location, but does not include a modular home or transportable dwelling.’

Amenity concerns have been raised by various stakeholders with respect to relocatable and transportable dwellings being exempt under the Regulations as they would currently fall within the definition of a ‘single house’ which are normally listed as ‘P’ uses in schemes. To address this issue it is proposed that separate land use definitions for ‘repurposed dwellings’ and ‘second hand dwellings’ into the model definitions and then local governments can control the location of these dwellings through the zoning table.

Not supported as it is not the best outcome and adds an additional administrative layer onto those local governments affected.

Creating two additional landuses may be more confusing and requiring every Local Government to include these clauses into their Scheme is time-consuming and an unnecessary administrative burden.

WALGA has advocated for the reinstatement of Local Planning Policies (LPP’s) created under the RCodes, as the streetscape and amenity issues for these types of dwellings can be controlled through LPP’s prepared under the Rcodes.

How does this address concerns with respect to relocatable and transportable dwellings such as factory made modular homes? Or are they just considered a being just a new ‘single house’? And would this new definition affect modular two storey additions to a single house?

cl.3(1) - where a local planning policy may be prepared

Amend cl.3(1) to make it clear that a local government can only make local planning policies with respect to matters which it has discretion to determine (i.e. development). Further, if a local government wishes to create a local planning policy which is a matter of Commission discretion (i.e. Public Open Space), then the local planning policy will require the Commission’s approval to ensure that it is consistent with the State Planning framework (i.e. SPPs and Liveable Neighbourhoods).

There have been calls to introduce a mechanism whereby the Commission can intervene in the process for preparing a local planning policy where the Commission has a firm policy position. However, rather than introducing a formal right to intervene, it is thought more appropriate to ensure that

Commission approval is sought for any local planning policy which relates to matters which the Commission determines.

Not supported as the final text is required in order to properly consider this change.

Local Planning Policies (LPP’s) carry no statutory weight, so what is the purpose of seeking WAPC approval for LPP’s?

What approval processes will be in place for the approval of LPPs?

Will there be a more streamlined options available like the Local Planning Scheme adoption/amendment process?

And what happens to existing LPPs with respect to matters which is a matter of Commission discretion (ie existing POS policies, if there are any). And how many currently exist?

cl.4(1) - advertising of a local planning policy

Amend cl.4(1) to clarify that the Commission can waive the advertising of a local planning policy.

As this clause is currently drafted it could be argued that the Commission can only agree to a different method of advertising rather than having the ability to waive advertising altogether.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.8(3) - advertising/ notification requirements for heritage list

Include a provision which provides that where the owner applies for their own property to be added to the heritage list, the LG may waive the requirement to notify the owner under cl.8(3)(a).

The City of Perth have advised that many people ask for their own property to be added to the heritage list and in such cases it seems impractical to advise the owner of the proposal to include the property on the heritage list under cl.8(3).

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.8(3) - interim heritage listings

Add a provision which provides that if it is proposed that a property will be entered on the heritage list and the local government complied with cl.8(3)(a) (has notified the owner in writing of the proposal) then the property is automatically considered to be on the heritage list for a period of 1 year or until a resolution under cl.8(3)(d) is made, which ever occurs first.

Local government have requested a mechanism to protect interim heritage places from planning exemptions until assessment and formal listing occurs. It is intended that once the land owner has been notified in accordance with cl.8(3)(a) the property will be considered to be on the heritage list for the purpose of the exemptions in cl.61 of the deemed provisions.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.9(2)(b) - heritage significance of area

Add to cl.9(2)(b) that the local planning policy designating the heritage area must include

a statement about the heritage significance of the area and the objectives of the heritage area.

Surely the objectives of a heritage area are covered off by cl 9.(1) that states the purpose of designating a heritage area. What is the purpose of requiring additional details that are already covered by the regulations?

Justification? Objectives like ‘preserving heritage’, ‘increasing awareness’?

cl.15(a) - when a structure plan may be prepared

Replace the ‘and’ between cl.15(a)(i) and 15(a)

(ii) to an ‘or’ so that a structure plan may be prepared if located in a zone identified in the scheme as an area suitable for urban or industrial development or is located in an area that the Scheme identifies as requiring a structure plan before subdivision or development is undertaken.

Further, add an additional provision to clarify that a structure plan may be prepared in support of an amendment to rezone land to urban or industrial development (in accordance with cl.15(a)(i)).

Allows for a structure plan to be prepared once the scheme amendment to rezone the land to urban or industrial development has been initiated. Also allows for the structure plan and the associated scheme amendment to be advertised concurrently. However, in accordance with the requirement of cl.15(1)(a) the scheme amendment will need to be given final approval by the Minister before the WAPC can resolve to approve the structure plan.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.17 - action by local government on receipt of application for a structure plan

Add a provision which allows an applicant to withdraw its application for a structure plan at any stage in the structure plan approval process.

Currently there is a degree of uncertainty whether an applicant can withdraw a structure plan application when it is part of the way through the approval process.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.22(2) - Commission may direct readvertising

Remove the words ‘before a decision is made under subclause (1)’ and amend provision to provide that where the Commission makes a decision to require modifications to the structure plan under cl.22(1)(b), and these modifications are considered to be ‘major’ then the Commission may require the local government to readvertised the required modifications before making the modifications and resubmitting the structure plan to the Commission for approval.

Provide that, if the Commission requires modifications and those modifications are readvertised, then the Commission has 60 days from the structure plan being resubmitted to approve the structure plan.

Also, include a provision which clarifies that when modifications are readvertised, the local government is required to resubmit another report in accordance with cl.20 of the deemed provisions with respect to the outcome of submissions.

Currently, if the Commission requires modifications to be advertised, there is no stop the clock on the 120 day deemed refusal period under cl.22(5) as a

decision under cl.22(1)(b) has not yet been made. Also, there is no guidance with respect to how the local government is to process the amendment once it has been readvertised. This causing some confusion.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.22(5)(a) - deemed refusal period for structure plans (also cl.41 and cl.54)

Add a provision which clarifies that where the Commission requires modifications to a structure plan (stopping the clock on the deemed refusal period) the Commission must provide a timeframe in which the modifications need to be made and resubmitted to the Commission before the structure plan is deemed to be refused.

Proposed timeframe is 28 days, or as otherwise provided by the Commission.

Currently when the Commission requests modifications to a structure plan, if the applicant refuses to make these modifications then the timeframe for deemed refusal stops indefinitely under cl.22(5) unless the Commission refuses the application.

Is 28 days long enough to make the modifications required? Does this timeline factor in any requirement for the structure plan to go back to a full Council meeting for endorsement?

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.25 - SAT review of structure plan (also cl.41 and 51)

Add an express right of review to SAT for situations where the Commission requires modifications to a structure plan under cl.22(b) and the applicant disagrees with those modifications.

Currently cl.25 only provides a right of review to SAT of a decision by the Commission ‘not to approve a structure plan.’ This has caused some confusion as to whether an applicant has a right of review to SAT with respect to a Commission’s decision to require certain modifications to be made and the structure plan be resubmitted for approval.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.29(3) - process for minor structure plan amendment (also cl.45 and cl.59)

Amend cl.29(3) to provide that where the local government has waived the advertising of a minor amendment to the structure plan, cl.19 (local government consideration of submissions) also does not apply. Also include a provision which provides, to the effect, that where the local government and the Commission agree that an amendment to a structure plan is a ‘minor amendment’ the Commission’s assessment timeframe under r.22(5) is 42 days rather than 120 days.

In line with intention to reduce red tape in planning processes.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.47 - when a local development plan may be prepared

Add a provision to cl.47 to provide that a local development plan may be prepared where the scheme requires one to be prepared.

Many schemes include provisions which require local development plans to be prepared before development occurs in certain areas.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.58 - when local development plan can be revoked

Add to cl.58 that all or part of a local development plan may be revoked if a new one is prepared over the same area. Also give the local government the ability to revoke a local development plan if the local government considers that the plan has been complied with or is no longer required. Also add a requirement that before the local government is able to revoke a local development plan it must notify the landowners covered by the plan.

Currently the effect of cl.58 is that a local development plan can only be revoked if the development to which the plan relates becomes a non-conforming use.

Notifying landowners of the intention to revoke a local development plan (LDP), could be problematic if the LDP covers a large area. The administrative costs for local government to comply with this could be excessive for larger sites (ie letters and postage costs). If the plan has been complied with or is no longer required, couldn’t something be included in the 10 year life span of a LDP and remove the need for ‘notification’? (Clause 57)

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.61(1)(a) - exemption for works wholly located in a regional reserve

Provide clarification, perhaps in the form of a legislative note, that where a development is partially located on a region scheme reserve and partially on zoned land, the development requires approval of the local government for the zoned portion (the WAPC will be responsible for granting approval on the reserved portion of the development).

Clause 60 of the deemed provisions provides that all development requires approval except if it is exempt under cl.61. Under cl.61(1)(a) the carrying out of works that are wholly located on a regional reserve are exempt from development approval under the local scheme. It follows that a development located partially on a regional reserve and partially on land zoned under the scheme requires approval. However, the exemption does not clarify that it is only the portion of the development which is on the zoned portion of land which needs approval from the local government (as per the case of Paintessa Development Pty Ltd v Town of East Fremantle [2014] WASAT 81).

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.61(1)(b) - exemption for internal building work - heritage

Amend cl.61(1)(b) to reverse the heritage default so that if a property is on the heritage list then the exemption does not apply unless the heritage list specifies that the interior does not have heritage significance.

This change has been suggested as, in many cases, a property may be on the heritage list but the heritage significance of a building’s interior may not yet have been assessed.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.61(1)(c) - single house exemption

Add the word ‘renovation’ after ‘extension.’

This change will clarify that the single house exemption includes ‘renovations’ in the sense of, for example, replacing window frames or re-roofing.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.61(1)(c) and (d) - development on ‘small lots’

Amend cl.61(1)(c) and (d) by adding a new subclause (iv) to provide that the exemption does not apply if the R-codes state that approval is required. Alternatively, this clause could be added to cl.61(3).

This amendment will clarify that cl.2.3 of the R-codes, which provides that planning approval is required for the erection of a single house on a lot smaller than 260m2, continues to apply notwithstanding the exemptions contained in cl.61 of the Regulations.

For the purposes of clarity should cl. 61(3) which refers to cl.61(1) not be contained in cl.61(1)?

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.61(1)(e) - demolition of a single house

Amend cl.61(1)(e) to exclude single houses that have been converted to consulting rooms or some other commercial use.

Currently, the demolition exemption in cl.61(1)

(e) would capture single houses that have been converted to consulting rooms. This is because the definition of single house in the R-Codes refers to a dwelling. A dwelling is defined as ‘a building or portion of a building ‘used, adapted, or designed or intended to be used for the purpose of human habitation.’ A single house converted to and being used for consulting rooms would arguably still fall

within the definition of ‘dwelling’ as the building was designed for human habitation.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.61(1)(h) - exemption for erection or installation of a sign

Amend cl.61(1)(h) to provide that a class of sign to which the exemption applies may be specified in a local planning policy, local development plan or the scheme.

Many schemes include exempt classes of signs in a schedule to the scheme, which should be captured for the purposes of cl.61(1)(h).

Any change needs to also state that the exemption is only provided when the sign complies with the Scheme provisions, not just that it is within the class of sign exempted in a schedule to the scheme.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.61(4) - local development plan, activity centre plan or local planning policy ‘made under the R-Codes’

Add words to the effect ‘made under the R-Codes’ after ‘local planning policy’ in cl.61(4)(c).

Under cl.61(4)(a) development is taken to satisfy a deemed to comply requirement of the R-Codes if it complies with a requirement in a local development plan or an activity centre plan made ‘under the

R-Codes’ that amends or replaces the deemed to comply requirement. The ‘made under the R-Codes’ component is important because variation of certain deemed to comply requirements under a local development plan, activity centre plan or a local planning policy requires the endorsement of the Commission under cl.7.3.2 of the R-Codes. However, cl.61(4)(c) only refers to an LPP, not an LPP ‘made under the R-Codes’ so arguably the requirement for Commission endorsement of LPPs that amend certain deemed to comply requirements is not captured.

Providing the wording also ensures connection to Local Planning Policies made under cl.7.3.1 (a) and 7.3.1 (b) of the RCodes, then this should resolve our members concerns about the current loss of connection to existing streetscape and amenity local planning policies.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.61(5) - instant start provision

Remove cl.61(5).

It has been requested that cl.61(5) be removed until the Building Commission’s instant start reform initiative is implemented as this clause is causing confusion. Many developers and local governments have assumed that a single house verification form needs to be submitted to the local government before claiming the exemption, which is incorrect.

This change also needs to ensure the removal of the Single House Verification form itself (Form 6), as the form has numerous inaccuracies.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.66(3) - consultation with other authorities with respect to a development application

Amend cl.66(3) to provide that the time in which a public authority has to provide comments is the same amount of time as the public is given to make submissions.

Proposed change based on concerns raised by local governments that 42 days is too long for a statutory authority to provide comments. Currently the WAPC’s delegation to local governments to determine development applications under the MRS only allows statutory authorities 30 days to provide comments otherwise it will be assumed that the statutory authority has no objections.

The proposed change should refer to the MRS referral times rather than the ‘amount of time as the public is given to make submission’ given that is what the justification says.

Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

cl.67(b) - relevant planning considerations - orderly and proper planning

Amend cl.67(b) to provide that any proposed local planning scheme or amendment or any other proposed planning instrument that has been advertised is to be given ‘due regard’ in planning decision making.

In the case of Terra Spei Ltd v Shire of Kalamunda attention was drawn to the fact that a local government is to have due regard to a scheme or amendment if it has been advertised, but must have due regard to all other planning instruments (i.e. structure plans) only once these instruments become a seriously entertained proposal.

Conditional Support as without seeing the exact wording, this may just add further confusion.

cl.86 - application form for development approval

Add ‘bushfire prone area’ check box.

For consistency with recent bushfire reforms.

Support.

cl.86 - application form for development approval

Provide clarification in cl.86 that an applicant may submit MRS form 1 (application for development approval under the MRS) where development approval is required under the MRS and the local scheme.

Submitting MRS Form 1 will be considered to be an application under the MRS and the local scheme (without the applicant needing to submit the form in cl.86 as well).

Many local governments only require MRS form 1 to be submitted where approval under the region scheme and the local scheme is required. It is considered impractical for applicants to submit 2 forms that contain essentially the same information.

Support.

Proposed amendments to vary clauses or provisions where implications for the planning system were not anticipated or were misunderstood

	Regulation / Clause		Issue / Change		Justification		WALGA response
Regulations
r.51 - LG may advertise proposed modifications		Remove r. 51 (and the equivalent provision for new schemes and complex amendments). Then broaden r.50(3)(b) to remove the requirement that any proposed modifications must be in response to issues raised in submissions. Make the same amendments to cl.19(1)(d) and cl.19(2).		The final decision on schemes/ amendments rests with the Minister, so it is proposed that a local government should not readvertise proposed modifications as the Minister may not ultimately agree with them.		Without seeing the exact wording, this is not clear and cannot be supported.
r.66 - report of review		Amend r.66 to provide that if a new scheme is being prepared when a scheme is due to be reviewed in accordance with r.65, the Commission may waive the requirement to prepare the report of review under s.66 if the local government has resolved to proceed to advertise the scheme under r.21.		Local government have argued that it is unnecessary to undertake a review if a new scheme is already being prepared.		Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).
	Model Provisions						WALGA response
	cl.25 - application of R-Codes		Add a new exemption to cl.61(1) which provides that the erection or extension of a single house in an urban development zone is exempt if the development is in accordance with an endorsed structure plan and an approved subdivision.		As the R-Codes do not apply in an urban development zone, currently the single house exemption does not apply in those zones (in the absence of a local planning policy which extends the single house exemption to these areas). This was not an intended outcome.		Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).
	Deemed Provisions						WALGA response
	cl.9(3)(b) - advertising of a heritage area		Amend cl.9(3)(b) to provide that the designation of a heritage area may be advertised in ‘one or more ‘ of the ways listed in subclauses (i) to (iii).		Requested by local governments. This amendment will also ensure consistency with the advertising requirements in cl.64(3) of the deemed provisions.		Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).
	cl.61 - protection of significant trees		Add a provision or a legislative note to cl.61 which provides that notwithstanding the exemptions, approval is required for the removal of any trees identified on a significant tree register.		There is currently some confusion that the single house exemption allows for the removal of ‘significant trees’ without approval. This is not the case. Although there is an exemption for the erection of a single house, development approval is still required to remove significant trees.		Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).
	cl.79 - entry and inspection powers		Amend cl.79 of the deemed provisions so that it is consistent with s.100 of the Building Act 2011.		It has been requested that the power of entry powers in cl.79 be broadened to allow for police to assist. Section 100(2) of the Building Act 2011 allows for entry with the consent of the owner or under the authority of an entry warrant.		Conditional Support (would need to see the final text to provide full support for this change).

‘rural enterprise zone’		Add a new ‘rural enterprise’ zone - Definition from SPP 2.5 - A predominantly light industrial zone that provides for light industrial land uses and an ancillary residential dwelling on one lot, with lot sizes in the order of one to four hectares. May also be known as rural industry or composite zones.) with the following objectives: • To provide for light industrial and ancillary residential development on one lot. • To provide for lot sizes in the range of 1 ha to 4 ha. • To carefully design rural enterprise estates to provide a reasonable standard of amenity without limiting light industrial land uses. To notify prospective purchasers of potential amenity impacts from light industrial land uses.		Outcome of review of SPP 2.5.	Support
	‘cultural and natural resource zone’		Add new ‘cultural and natural resource zone’ with the following objectives: • Provide for development associated with the extraction of mineral and natural resources. • Ensure the preservation of Aboriginal heritage and culturally significant areas • Provide for the conservation of significant landscape and environmental areas and values. • Allow for low impact tourism development including limited tourist accommodation and camping areas. • Allow land uses associated with Aboriginal heritage, traditional law and culture.	This zone would typically cover Aboriginal Land Trust land where a variety of land use rights and interests apply over the land as part of indigenous land use agreements under the Native Title Act 1993, such as traditional hunting and camping, management of land and economic ventures. The creation of this zone was originally requested by Traditional Owners on the Dampier Peninsula. The zone was approved by the then Minister for Planning, and noted by Cabinet in early 2015 in relation to the Dampier Peninsula Planning Strategy, just prior to the release of the new Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015. The ‘cultural and natural resource’ zone has been used in the Kimberley Regional Planning and Infrastructure Framework, Dampier Peninsula Planning Strategy, and the Shire of Broome’s Local Planning Strategy and Local Planning Scheme No.6.

Issues not included in this review – but should be considered

Ease of use – The usability of a Local Planning Scheme with the inclusion of the ‘deemed provisions’, and ease of reading against the remaining supplementary provisions, has not been addressed in this review.

P’ use exemption - Agree with the principle of development being exempt from development approval if it is a permitted use. However this is on the basis that the proposed use complies with all relevant development standards, in particular car parking provisions. Different land uses have significantly different parking requirements under relevant Schemes/Policies. . For example in the Town of Victoria Park’s District Centre zone (Albany Highway being the best example) both a Showroom and a Shop are permitted uses, with respective parking requirements of 1 bay per 50m2 (equivalent) and 1 per 10m2. In the case of a 100m2 tenancy, a Showroom would require 2 bays and a Shop would require 10 bays. It is recommended that the exemption only apply where the use is permitted and does not impact upon car parking requirements under the Scheme/Policies.

In a situation where there is the ability to construct additional on-site car parking, then this would fall under the definition of ‘works’ and therefore planning approval would need to be obtained for both the works and change of land use. However in the context of a mainstreet environment such as Albany Highway, with existing buildings with either no or limited on-site car parking, and with no opportunity to provide any additional on-site car parking due to site constraints, this would not require planning approval which is of significant concern. It was suggested in the training sessions that if additional on-site car parking is required then this would constitute a ‘work’ and therefore planning approval would be required. However, with respect, if there no actual construction of additional car bays (because they can’t be accommodated on-site) then that would not fall under the definition of a ‘work’.

In response to this matter, DoP Officers have responded as follows, however this should be clarified as the words in the Regulations are open to interpretation:

“The Regulations do not expressly differentiate between a work that can be physically be carried out and one that cannot. Therefore, irrespective of whether the required works can be physically carried out, the requirement for additional car parking bays would still fall into the category of ‘works.’ Therefore, the requirement for additional car parking bays would trigger the requirement for development approval. Obviously, in a practical sense, because the additional car parking bays cannot be physically constructed due to the restrictions”

Connection to SPP requirements

There is a need for further clarity on how to ensure planning discretion over single residential dwellings that are proposed on lots that have been identified as potentially subject to coastal erosion or coastal inundation. SPP 2.6 now obliges management authorities to identify hazard areas and show due regard for this information in the amendment and development of schemes, and the assessment of development applications. However there is very little clarity in the regs on how to achieve this, despite this being a state level issue, i.e. any inclusion in a scheme to ensure discretion over single residential dwellings would require state level approval yet there's not guidance available on how to achieve this. Further, the use of special control areas to ensure discretion is inflexible to the refinement of coastal hazard areas as new information (such as revised sea level rise scenarios), data (such as detailed marine bathymetry, beach profiles, etc) and resources (for collecting data and improving certainty in the hazard projections) becomes available. The City of Karratha's recent removal of their inundation SCA from their scheme, apparently endorsed by the DoP, is an example of this. State level guidance, through the regs or some other means that accompanies the regs (amendments to MST or a model local planning policy) is highly desirable and would ensure a uniformed approach across the state.

The above commentary can also be applied to properties that are located in an RCoded area, but maybe subject to bushfire, flooding, Airport ANEF standards, transport noise policy’s or SCA’s, require referral to Main Roads, subject to buffers or over ground water protection areas.

SUMMARY: Council is requested to consider an amendment to the established Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the Broome Growth Plan and consider governance arrangements for the process moving forward.

BACKGROUND

Previous Considerations

OMC 30 July 2015 Item 12.1

OMC 26 November 2015 Item 9.3.2

SMC 19 January 2016 Item 6.2.2

The Broome Growth Plan is being prepared as part of the State government’s Regional Centres Development Planning (RCDP) initiative. The RCDP initiative is led by the Regional Development Council, through the Department of Regional Development, and funded through Royalties for Regions funding.

The intention of the RCDP initiative is to strengthen the capability of regional centres to grow business, investment and jobs to support resilient and prosperous regional economies and communities. Growth Plans developed as part of the initiative will provide for an evidence based selection of programs or infrastructure investment to achieve this outcome.

The intention of the RCDP initiative is to make Royalties for Regions funding more targeted, moving away from the traditional ad hoc funding of community facilities.

Nine regional centres have been chosen to develop Growth Plans in two rounds. Broome, Greater Bunbury, Greater Geraldton and Kalgoorlie are in the first round and Albany, Busselton, Carnarvon, Kununurra and Mandurah are in the second round.

The Growth Plans prepared in the first round must be finalised and submitted to the Regional Development Council for its endorsement by 31 October 2016.

At the inaugural meeting of the Economic Development Advisory Committee held on 16 July 2015, the Committee resolved the following in regards to an update provided on the submission made by the Shire (in partnership with the Kimberley Development Commission (KDC)) to the State to be included as a participant in the RCDP:

committee Resolution:

(Report Recommendation)

Moved: Cr C Mitchell Seconded: Mr G Fiorenza

That the Committee recommends Council note the Shire has been successful in its submission to be selected as a Regional Growth Centre.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 11/0

Council subsequently endorsed this recommendation at the Ordinary Meeting of Council held on 30 July 2015.

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council held on 26 November 2015, Council considered a report providing an outline of what a Growth Centre is designed to be, how the process will work and the resources required. Council endorsement was also sought to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State Government to prepare the Growth Centre plan. Council resolved the following at this meeting:

Council Resolution:

(Report Recommendation)

Moved: Cr C Mitchell Seconded: Cr M Croft

That Council:

1. Requests the Shire President write to the Premier thanking the government for selecting the Shire of Broome to be a Regional Growth Centre and funding associated with the preparation of the plan.

2. Agrees to enter the Memorandum of Understanding with the State Government as Attached at Appendix 3 (with any minor amendments as determined by the Chief Executive Officer) and authorise the Shire President and Chief Executive Officer to engross the documentation.

3. Notes a detailed project plan will be prepared for the project and submitted to the State Government for approval by mid December and authorises the Shire President and Chief Executive Officer to submit this on behalf of the Shire.

4. Notes the establishment of a Growth Plan Partnership Group and appoints the Shire President and Chief Executive Officer (or his delegate) to represent the Shire on this group.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 6/0

Essentially the Growth Centre Plan will be a plan which addresses the economic, social and infrastructure needs of Broome to grow into a vibrant regional centre over the coming years.

The plan is designed to provide a link between the Kimberley Regional Blue Print (prepared by KDC) and Council’s Strategic Community Plan. It is also designed to be used as a tool to plan for and provide access to significant funding from R4R into the future to facilitate the implementation of the plan.

The plan will prioritise major projects implementation in a timely manner to facilitate social or economic development of the Shire and broader region.

The purpose of the tabled MOU was as follows:

· Provide for an agreement for each party to partner in the development of a Growth Plan for the future economic and social development of Broome and its economic activity area.

· Establish the terms to enable the resourcing to support the development of a Broome Growth Plan under the terms and conditions set by the Regional Centres Development Plan (RCDP), including allocation of RCDP funding in pursuit of the project plan approved by the RCDP Steering Committee.

The MOU doesn’t commit the Shire to any resources beyond in-kind resources and the funding to prepare the Growth Plan is to be provided by the State Government and administered by Landcorp who will also manage consultant procurement.

The signatories to the MOU were proposed to be the Shire of Broome, KDC, Landcorp, Department of Regional Development and Department of Planning.

As part of the Broome Growth Plan project, a Growth Plan Partnership (GPP) was established to provide strategic oversight of the project, in accordance with the MOU. The members of the GPP are:

· Shire of Broome - CEO and Shire President;

· KDC - CEO and Board Member;

· LandCorp – Business Manager North West;

· Department of Planning – Principal Planning Officer – Kimberley;

· Department of Regional Development - Executive Director Regional Investment; and

A Project Control Group (PCG) was also established in accordance with the MOU that is responsible for managing the operational delivery of the Broome Growth Plan. The members of the PCG are:

· Shire of Broome - Deputy CEO/Director Community and Economic Development;

· LandCorp – Senior Development Manager;

· KDC – Director, Regional Planning and Project Delivery; and

The Shire President and Chief Executive Officer subsequently engrossed the document (Attachment 1) and the GPP and PCG commenced holding meetings from November 2015.

At the 19 January 2016 Special Meeting of Council, the Final Project Plan that had been developed and submitted to the State Government by the Shire of Broome and for the Broome Regional Growth Centre Plan was considered and the following resolved:

Council Resolution:

(Report Recommendation)

Moved: Cr B Rudeforth Seconded: Cr P Matsumoto

That Council:

1. Notes the final Project Plan for the Broome Regional Growth Centre has been submitted and will now be considered by the State Government; and

2. Notes the Growth Plan Partnership may make amendments to the project plan (if required) when feedback is received from the State Government prior to implementation.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 7/0

At the GPP meeting held on 9 June 2016 (minutes form Attachment 2), Mr Jeff Gooding, Chief Executive Officer of the KDC, queried the potential role that Nyamba Buru Yawuru (NBY) could play in the Growth Plan process. The GPP were advised by the Shire’s Chief Executive Officer that the Shire was trying to identify a way in which NBY could be involved and that legal advice had been sought to mitigate risk and propose a solution from a governance point of view, given there may on occasion be a conflict of interest.

On 28 June 2016 the Shire of Broome were advised by KDC that the Chief Executive Officer of NBY, Mr Peter Yu had accepted an invitation from the GPP Chairman to sit on the GPP.

At the GPP meeting held on 14 July 2016 (minutes form Attachment 3), NBY attended their first meeting and were officially welcomed to the GPP and were also noted to be joining the PCG. The GPP also sought for NBY to be an additional signatory to the existing MOU.

Given the inclusion of NBY to the GPP and PCG are an alteration to the existing MOU, Council is requested to consider endorsing this amendment to the Governance structure and MOU.

COMMENT

The amendment to the MOU is purported to be the just the addition of NBY as a signatory for the purposes of including them within the GPP and PCG. Legal advice (Attachment 4) was received in relation to the proposed change to the governance structure and LandCorp have advised that the revised MOU signed by NBY has not been received.

In reviewing the MOU, the existing document outlines the agreed principles to be abided to by signatories and further stipulates the roles and responsibilities of each partner. No further amendments have been proposed at this stage to the MOU to clarify the role of NBY in the partnership.

Further, the MOU specifies who the participating bodies are within the GPP and the membership of the PCG. The document therefore requires update to clarify these matters with the intended and now current addition of NBY as a partner.

Finally, the MOU does state both the GPP and PCG are to establish their own terms of reference, of which neither have been completed at this time. To formalise this for all participating partners it is recommended that the Terms of Reference for both the GPP and PCG to be finalised as a matter of priority, inclusive of addressing any matters relative to conflict of interest.

In addition, the governance and authority for Council appointed members to contribute through the GPP and PCG requires formalisation. As an example, although Council at it’s meeting of 26 November 2016 has appointed both the Shire President and Chief Executive Officer (or his delegate) to the GPP, there is currently no formal delegation for these members to vote or make decisions on behalf of Council. It has always been the intent from the outset of the process to have Council endorse the final Broome Growth Plan, however the GPP and PCG for that matter are contributing and making decisions that are informing the formulation of this document under significantly tight timeframes.

It is therefore the recommendation of this report to request the Chief Executive Officer to ensure all minutes from future GPP meetings are presented through the Economic Development Advisory Committee for recommendation to Council of endorsement or otherwise. Shire appointed members to both the GPP and PCG are anticipated to continue provide input into draft documentations in alignment with Council’s existing policies and strategic documents.

The Shire is only required to commit in-kind resources to the development of the Growth Plan at this point in time.

RISK

There is a risk that the outcomes of the growth planning project may commit the Shire to a course of action or investment in projects and initiatives that may impact on the Shire’s ability to resource other policy initiatives and its core operations. The risk of this occurring is considered ‘High’. To mitigate this risk, significant resources are being dedicated by Shire Officers in reviewing the inputs to the Broome Growth Plan. In addition, the key inputs to the Growth Plan are being workshopped with Council and are subject to EDAC and Council’s endorsement to ensure that Council is satisfied that the direction of the Growth Plan is consistent with the Council’s strategic direction.

A significant amount of work and resources have been dedicated, utilising Royalties for Regions funding, to develop these key inputs to the Growth Plan. Should Council decide that it wants to alter these key inputs significantly, this may impact on the ability for the Broome Growth Plan to be finalised by the 31 October 2016 deadline. This may impact on the reputation of the Shire with the State government and other stakeholders. The risk of this occurring should Council seek to alter the key inputs significantly is considered ‘High’.

9.4.3 APPLICATION TO CHANGE IN METHOD OF VALUATION FROM UNIMPROVED VALUE TO GROSS RENTAL VALUE BROOME ROAD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE SUBDIVISION AND PARTIAL WRITE OFF OF 2015/2016 INTERIM RATES AND PENALTY INTEREST FOR ASSESSMENT A306429

LOCATION/ADDRESS: 11 properties included in the Broome Road Industrial Estate Subdivision

APPLICANT: Ratepayer

FILE: ARA01

AUTHOR: Manager Financial Services

RESPONSIBLE OFFICER: Director Corporate Services

DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST: NIL

DATE OF REPORT: 5 August 2016

SUMMARY: This report requests Council approval to seek Ministerial approval for the method of valuation for the area of the Broome Road Industrial Estate subdivision to be changed from unimproved value to gross rental value. This report also recommends that Council writes off the partial balance of 2015/2016 interim rates levied on one of the properties to reflect the correct pro rata rates once the new GRV valuation is received.

BACKGROUND

Previous Considerations

OMC 1 August 2011 Item 9.4.1

The Broome Road Industrial Estate subdivision (the subdivision) is currently zoned as ‘Industry’ under the Local Planning Scheme No. 6 (LPS6). The lots are located outside of the town site boundary and are currently valued as unimproved value (UV) by the Valuer-General (VG), based on the predominant land use as being ‘rural’ as per section 6.28(2)(a) of the Local Government Act 1995 (LGA). Council must seek Ministerial approval from the Department of Local Government and Communities (DLGC) to change the method of valuation from unimproved value (UV) to gross rental value (GRV) when the predominate land use has been identified as a non-rural purpose. Land currently rated UV but which should be rated on GRV, based on the predominant use of non-rural purposes, requires Council and Ministerial approval to be rated on the GRV method of valuation.

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council (OMC) held 1 August 2011, Council adopted the proposed Broome Road Industrial Area Master Plan (Master Plan) submitted by Urbis on behalf of Landcorp. Council also resolved to advise the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) of its support for the stage 1 subdivision application. In summary, the Master Plan clearly outlines the intended future land use of the subdivision to be predominantly for non-rural purposes, therefore, the purpose of the subdivision is to provide land to prospective commercial enterprises for industrial development.

Under section 6.28 of the LGA, the Minister for Local Government and Communities (the Minister) is responsible for determining the method of valuation of land to be used by a local government as the basis for levying rates and publish a notice of the determination in the Government Gazette. In determining the method of valuation to be used by a local government, the Minister is to have regard for the general principle that the basis for valuation on any land is to be:

a) Where the land is used predominantly for rural purposes, the unimproved value of the land; and

b) Where the land is used predominantly for non rural purposes, the gross rental value of the land.

Each local government has a legislative obligation in upholding the above valuation provisions of the LGA and ensuring they are correctly applied to rateable land within their districts. In exercising this obligation, the Shire is currently conducting a review of the 130 concessional properties located in the UV area including the localities of 12 Mile, Coconut Well and other properties with a horticultural land use. Council has previously resolved to apply to the Minister to change the method of valuation from UV to GRV for effect from 1 July 2017 as per the OMC held 31 March 2016. Officers have progressed this review by assessing the ratepayer submissions received for application to the Minister.

The subdivision requires a separate application and approval by Council because it is outside of the scope of the UV to GRV review project. The subdivision requires a change of method of valuation with immediate effect due to the recent sale of Assessment A306429 located within the subdivision with an effective date of ownership of 1 May 2016. The majority of the lots within the subdivision are owned by Landcorp and rates are not levied until the title changes. The sale of the lot and subsequent title change has initiated the VG to issue a valuation based on UV effective from the date of transfer of ownership. Officers processed the changes to the property record to issue the interim rate notice based on the UV Rural differential rating category and applied the relevant rate in the dollar to the valuation.

The new owner and officers from Landcorp have raised concerns regarding the valuation and rating category of this property after the interim rate notice was issued in May. The concerns note the high potential for similar adverse reactions from prospective buyers in an email sent to the Shire in June 2016. The concerns expressed can be assessed as an objection to the rate record under section 6.76(1)(b), made within the 42 day time period from the issue date of the interim rate notice where:

…if the local government imposes a differential general rate, that the characteristics of the land recorded in the rate record as the basis for imposing that rate should be deleted and other characteristics substituted.

Officers have assessed the objection and have identified that the method of valuation is incorrect in accordance with section 6.28 of the LGA. This is causing the calculation of an inequitable level of rates levied in comparison to similar vacant properties within the town site that are rated as GRV Commercial. The owner should only be liable to pay for the pro rata amount of rates calculated on the new GRV valuation from 1 May 2016 until the effective date of the issue of the new GRV valuation. As such Officers are recommending that the remaining balance of the rates levied be written off.

As per Delegation Instrument LGA39, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has delegated authority to write off debt up to $1,000. As such, Council approval is required for amounts greater than $1,000 in accordance with section 6.12 of the LGA which provides a local government the power to defer, grant discounts, waive or write off debts.

Full details of the properties and application are provided below for Council’s consideration.

COMMENT

Officers consider that the following properties valued on unimproved values should be valued on gross rental values pursuant to section 6.28 of the LGA:

Assessment #	Property Address	GRV $	UV $	Zone	Use
A306420	2 Katsuyama Road Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306421	14 Katsuyama Road Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306430	28 Katsuyama Road Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306422	33 Katsuyama Road Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306427	1 Warrgamburu Drive Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306426	2 Warrgamburu Drive Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306425	6 Warrgamburu Drive Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306428	9 Warrgamburu Drive Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306424	10 Warrgamburu Drive Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306423	11 Warrgamburu Drive Roebuck WA 6725			Industry	Vacant
A306429	21 Warrgamburu Drive Roebuck WA 6725		1,020,000.00	Industry	Vacant

Maps of the above subdivision are included in attachment 1. The current method of valuation used for the above lots is based on unimproved value. The predominant use of the properties has changed to "non-rural" with the adoption of the Master Plan, support of stage 1 of the subdivision application and zoning category as ‘Industry’. In order to maintain an equitable valuation base and in accordance with section 6.28 of the LGA, it is recommended that the method of valuing these land areas be changed from unimproved value to gross rental value. The effective date of the new method of valuation for each affected land area outlined will be the date of gazettal or such date as given by the Minister.

Officers have pursued the objection of the valuation on behalf of the owner of Assessment A306429 with Landgate. Officers from Landgate have provided an indicative GRV of $65,000 in accordance with their valuation methodologies used for vacant land (5% of the capital value of $1,300,000). Based on the GRV Commercial rate of 10.5870 cents in the dollar, the 2016/2017 indicative rates would have been $6,881.55. It should be noted that Landgate have advised that valuations are not back dated and are effective from date of issue.

Once the change in method of valuation has been gazetted by the Minister and the new GRV has been issued by Landgate, officers will reconcile the difference between the interim rates levied on the UV valuation and the new GRV valuation. The interim rates for 2015/16 effective from 1 May 2016 are $5,041.52 for Assessment A306429. The estimated interim rates would have been approximately $1,127.28, had they been calculated on the indicative GRV value. The estimated difference to be written off is $3,914.24 plus penalty interest, however, this is subject to receipt of the official GRV valuation from Landgate. Should this difference be materially different, officers will report to Council on the variance.

Officers recommend to suspend penalty interest while the application is in progress with the Minister and Landgate. The reason for the write off of the balance of rates, penalty interest and suspension of interest is that the subdivision and lots subsequently sold should have been valued based on GRV. The new revaluation schedule will cause an amendment to the ratebook and this will adjust the 2016/2017 rates that have already been levied and issued to the owner.

Guidelines issued by the Department recommend that affected property owners be informed of proposed changes to the method of valuing their property, although a modified process may be considered where the change is driven by large scale subdivisions. The owners of the above lots have been informed of the process to be undertaken to initiate the change in method of valuation in response to their queries and objections to the valuation and rates.

(1) The Minister is to —

(a) determine the method of valuation of land to be used by a local government as the basis for a rate; and

(b) publish a notice of the determination in the Government Gazette.

(2) In determining the method of valuation of land to be used by a local government the Minister is to have regard to the general principle that the basis for a rate on any land is to be —

(a) where the land is used predominantly for rural purposes, the unimproved value of the land; and

(b) where the land is used predominantly for non rural purposes, the gross rental value of the land.

(3) The unimproved value or gross rental value, as the case requires, of rateable land in the district of a local government is to be recorded in the rate record of that local government.

(4) Subject to subsection (5), for the purposes of this section the valuation to be used by a local government is to be the valuation in force under the Valuation of Land Act 1978 as at 1 July in each financial year.

(5) Where during a financial year —

(a) an interim valuation is made under the Valuation of Land Act 1978; or

(b) a valuation comes into force under the Valuation of Land Act 1978 as a result of the amendment of a valuation under that Act; or

(c) a new valuation is made under the Valuation of Land Act 1978 in the course of completing a general valuation that has previously come into force,

the interim valuation, amended valuation or new valuation, as the case requires, is to be used by a local government for the purposes of this section.

[Section 6.28 amended by No. 1 of 1998 s. 20.]

Subdivision 7 — Objections and review

6.76. Grounds of objection

(1) A person may, in accordance with this section, object to the rate record of a local government on the ground —

(a) that there is an error in the rate record —

(i) with respect to the identity of the owner or occupier of any land; or

(ii) on the basis that the land or part of the land is not rateable land;

(b) if the local government imposes a differential general rate, that the characteristics of the land recorded in the rate record as the basis for imposing that rate should be deleted and other characteristics substituted.

(2) An objection under subsection (1) is to —

(a) be made to the local government in writing within 42 days of the service of a rate notice under section 6.41; and

(b) identify the relevant land; and

(c) set out fully and in detail the grounds of objection.

(3) An objection under subsection (1) may be made by the person named in the rate record as the owner of land or by the agent or attorney of that person.

(4) The local government may, on application by a person proposing to make an objection, extend the time for making the objection for such period as it thinks fit.

(5) The local government is to promptly consider any objection and may either disallow it or allow it, wholly or in part.

(6) After making a decision on the objection the local government is to promptly serve upon the person by whom the objection was made written notice of its decision on the objection and a statement of its reason for that decision.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS

2.1.7 Rating Policy

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

For Assessment A306429 as of 5 August 2016, the rates and penalty interest are:

Levies	UV	*Indicative GRV*	*Indicative Rates Levied*	Difference	Description
$30,855.00	$1,020,000.00	$65,000	$6,881.55	($23,973.45)	16/17 Rates
$5,041.52	$1,020,000.00	$65,000	$1,127.28	($3,914.24)	15/16 Interim Rates
$47.10			$53.18	($53.18)	Penalty Interest to 5 August 2016
$71.00			$71.00		Emergency Services Levy
$36,014.62				($27,940.87)	* TOTALS *

An adjustment to the 2016/17 rates of an estimated $23,973.45 will be required once the final GRV valuation figure is received for Assessment A306429. It is recommended to write off approximately $3,967.42 with the actual amount dependent on the final GRV amount.

RISK

The DLGC Operational Guideline No. 2 Changing Methods of Valuation recommends that the principles of a taxation (rating) system should be based on:

Fairness and equity

Consistency

Objectivity

Transparency

Administrative efficiency

The requirement to change the method of valuation from UV to GRV will address the objection from the owner of Assessment A306429 and represents the fulfilment of Council’s legislative obligation in upholding the above rating principles and the provisions of section 6.28 the LGA.

Should Council resolve not to follow the recommendations of this report, there is a risk of non-compliance with the LGA, medium level public embarrassment and possible financial implications to Council. In order to mitigate these risks, it is advised that Council support the recommendations of this report.

REPORT RECOMMENDATION:

That Council:

1. Allows the objection to the rate record wholly by the owner of Assessment A306429 and the second owner of ten land parcels contained within the area known as the Broome Road Industrial Estate, as per section 6.76(5) of the Local Government Act 1995 (LGA) in accordance with section 6.76(1)(b) that the differential general rate and UV valuation methodology have not been applied in accordance with section 6.28 of the LGA; and

2. Advises the property owners of Council’s decision in allowing the objection to the rate record that Council:

(a) In accordance with section 6.28 of the Local Government Act 1995, requests that the Minister for Local Government and Communities approves the change of the method of valuation from unimproved value to gross rental value for the land parcels subject to the application with immediate effect;

(b) Requests the Chief Executive Officer to amend the rate record for the land parcels subject to the application to reflect the rates levied on the new gross rental value and reissue the 2016/2017 rate notice for Assessment A306429;

(c) Requests the Chief Executive Officer to reconcile the 2015/2016 pro rata interim rates of Assessment A306429 based on the new gross rental value that would have been levied from 1 May 2016, up until the effective date of the gross rental valuation to calculate the difference from the initial 2015/2016 interim rate notice issued on 26 May 2016;

(d) Approves the write off of the difference from 2(c) above, of approximately $3,914.24, with the final difference subject to the receipt of the gross rental value and amendment to the rate record for Assessment A306429; and

(e) Does not levy penalty interest on Assessment A306429 until the date of issue of the amended 2016/2017 rate notice and approves the write off of all penalty interest applicable from the date of issue of the 2015/16 interim rate notice and the date of issue of the amended rate notice.
