3.         Public Question Time

 

The following questions were asked at the Ordinary Meeting of Council held 19 October 2017 by Graeme Macarthur and were taken on notice:

 

Question One:

We have spent several thousand dollars on our property at Coconut Well installing and improving fire breaks as well as purchasing a fire fighting trailer. During this period, on more than one occasion we have asked the rangers to get our northern neighbour to also install a fire break. They have agreed that a fire break was needed as the native scrub, which has grown right up to the fence, has not been burnt for over 20 years. On enquiry I was informed this week that the rangers have granted a variation to that neighbour in regards to their requirement for a fire break.

 

Will the Shire indemnify me from any loss to our property at 6 Denham Road caused by a fire impacting us from this neighbouring property, as you have granted a variation to them from the need to install a 3 metre fire break within 10 metres of the fence?

 

Response provided by the Director Development and Community:

The Shire of Broome recognises that compliance with the Shire’s Fire Break Order has not been at an acceptable level in recent years. In order to rectify this situation and to improve the general safety of people and properties in the Shire, a thorough inspection program was implemented in 2017. Through this inspection program, a number of properties across Broome were identified as not being compliant with the Fire Break Order, despite it being a relatively unchanged over the previous 17 years.

 

Shire officers have worked with land owners and occupiers to ensure they achieve compliance with the Fire Break Order. On some properties, this has necessitated the granting of approvals to vary the requirements of the Order. Variations may be required as a result of characteristics of a property that prevent the installation of a fire break within the required distance of the property boundary. These characteristics may be landforms on the property, terrain, the existence of built infrastructure, the size of the property or because the property has been parkland cleared.

 

A fire break has been installed around the majority of the boundary line of the property in question, which is adjacent to your property. A variation has been approved for the property, and an important feature of the variation is the implementation of a burn plan. The burn plan will see the property owner mosaic burn the property over a 3 year period. The first section to be burned is the front section closest to the southern boundary. The burn program is scheduled to commence in the early 2018 dry season.

 

The Shire plays an important role in ensuring fire mitigation measures are put in place. These measures seek to reduce the risk of wild fires occurring or spreading, whilst also seeking to minimise the effects of a fire should it occur. The Shire is not able to provide any absolute assurances to property owners that fires will not occur.

 

Question Two:

We strongly support the policy of ensuring properties have, wherever possible a minimum 3 metre wide fire break within 10 metres of all external boundaries for properties at Coconut Well and encourage the Shire to enforce this policy.

 

How many properties are there at Coconut Well, and how many of these have been granted an exemption or variation from this policy and for what reason?

 

Response provided by the Director Development and Community:

Shire records show that there are currently 36 freehold properties in the Coconut Well area. Variations have been granted for 21 of these properties. These variations have been granted for a number of reasons, including erosion risk, terrain or existence of built infrastructure.

 

Question Three:

Having lived and worked in the Kimberley region for 43 years, I have both seen and fought many large bushfires. I am extremely concerned with the large amount of dry fuel presently available in the region and note the Bureau of Meteorology today issued an extreme fire warning for the area.

 

Does the Shire consider the chance of erosion being caused by the installation of a fire break down a fence where there is clearly no evidence of this on the other side of the fence where a fire break is installed, as sufficient grounds to grant an exemption or variation to the requirement?

 

Response provided by the Director Development and Community:

As stated above, variations have been granted for a number of properties due to the risk of erosion occurring if the fire break is installed on a particular section of a property.

 

Fire breaks serve three main purposes, namely access, minimise fire spread and to allow back burning to occur. Whilst fire breaks serve an important function as part of a fire mitigation program, the best measure for reducing the risk of bush fire is removing or reducing fuel loads. The most practical way to reduce fuel loads is to conduct mitigation burns. This currently occurs across the State in both large landscape burns and small controlled burns on private property. Mitigation burning is recognised as being the most effective and reliable method of reducing the chance of fire occurring and reducing the impact of a fire should it occur due to the reduced fuel load.

 

In relation to the property adjacent to yours, the landowner approached the Shire with a proposal to install firebreaks on the property whilst also implementing a burn program. The Shire’s Bushfire Control Officers consider that overall fire mitigation outcomes will be significantly increased after the burning program is implemented.

PRIORITY STATEMENT

 

The Shire of Broome has an abundance of unique natural features, coastal attractions, significant streetscapes, historic precincts and a mix of old and new urban developments.

 

Our aim is for all communities and settled areas, including the Broome Township, to be a place where the natural environment, on which life depends, is maintained, whilst at the same time the built environment contributes to the economy and a quality lifestyle for all.

 

Preserving the Shire’s natural environment is a critical community outcome. Council will put into place strategies that nurture and improve the Shire’s unique environment and biodiversity.

 

The Shire will work in partnership with the community and other agencies to ensure responsible and accountable management of both the natural and build environments is achieved in the short term and for future generations.

BACKGROUND

OMC 8 June 2006                              Item 9.4.3

OMC 30 August 2007                        Item 9.4.3

OMC 24 April 2014                             Item 10.3

OMC 24 July 2014                              Item 9.2.2

 

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council (OMC) held on 24 July 2014, Council resolved to lease a portion of the Civic Centre building (Reserve 8519) and resolved to enter into a lease with Shinju Matsuri Inc. (Shinju Matsuri) for a one (1) year term with a two (2) year option. The relevant portion of the Civic Centre is an eleven-square metre (11sqm) office space located adjacent to the Pigram Garden Theatre (Attachment 1).  This decision was in accordance with the Shire’s Management Plan for the Broome Civic Centre which includes entering into relevant and appropriate community partnerships for the purposes of activating the Centre.

With Council’s endorsement, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) obtained approval from the Minister for Lands for the lease in accordance with Section 18 of the Land Administration Act 1997.  The Shire of Broome previously held the Management Order over the Reserve 8519 for the following purposes;

a)   Municipal office;

b)   Civic Centre; and

c)   Recreation.

 

As such, the Shire also sought approval from the Minister for Lands to amend the Management Order to include Office Accommodation.  This was received on 12 December 2014.  The Management Order provides the power to lease for a term of up to 10 years; subject to prior approval of the Minister for Lands.

 

Following Council’s endorsement at the OMC 24 July 2014, Shinju Matsuri hired the relevant portion at the Civic Centre on a casual basis from 28 July 2014 to 30 September 2014. From 1 October 2014 through to 30 September 2015, Shinju Matsuri entered into a commercial lease with the Shire of Broome and utilised the office for its operations. Shinju Matsuri had the option to extend the lease for a further term of 1 year. However, given the appointment of a professional event coordination company based in Perth, Shinju Matsuri declined to exercise a further option to lease and have vacated the premise. The office space has been vacant since Shinju’s exit.

 

COUNCIL RESOLUTION:

(REPORT RECOMMENDATION)

 

Moved: Cr J Bloom                                                                      Seconded: Cr P Matsumoto

That Council:

 

1.       Requests the Chief Executive Officer to write to the Minister for Lands seeking and amendment to the management order over Reserve 8519 to;

2.       Subject to the amendment of the management order and in accordance with the Local Government Regulations 1996 Regulation 30 agrees to lease a portion of Reserve 8519 to Shinju Matsuri Inc and delegates authority to the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate the terms and conditions of the lease arrangement in line with the following:

a)      Purpose of the lease to be office accommodation for the administration of the lessee’s core business;

b)      A term of 1 year from 1 October 2014 – 30 September 2015;

i)       Tenant to be responsible for the survey costs and legal costs to prepare, negotiate and register the lease.

 

3.       Requests the Chief Executive Officer to obtain approval from the Minister of Lands for the Lease in accordance with Section 18 of the Land Administration Act 1997.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 7/0

 

Through recommendations from other arts organisations the Shire Officers approached Marrugeku Inc. (Marrugeku) in mid 2017 and suggested leasing the office space to help further activate and engage the community into the venue.

 

Marrugeku is Australia’s premiere inter-cultural and indigenous physical theatre company based in Broome. It was established in 1994 and has achieved critical acclaim locally, nationally and internationally.

 

The company utilises contemporary dance, traditional and contemporary music, circus, installation and video art to create its visually spectacular productions. Works are presented in a variety of alternative locations from remote Indigenous communities to international arts festivals in Australia and around the world.

 

Terms of Proposed Lease

 

Marreguku seeks to lease the office indicated on the attachment 1 which is an area of 11sqm. A valuation of the office space undertaken by a Licensed Valuer indicated a rate of $400 per square metre per annum which includes access rights and the use of ablutions. This equates to $4,400 plus GST per annum plus a flat rate for outgoings of $80 plus GST per month.

COMMENT

 

Under Regulation 30(2)(b) Local Government (Functions and General Regulations) 1996, the lease disposal to Marrugeku is exempt from Section 3.58 of the Local Government Act 1995 as they are a not-for-profit community organisation.

 

The proposed lease would provide benefits for both Marrugeku and the Shire. Currently the Civic Centre has one full-time Officer that works out of the box office which adjoins the proposed lease area. Having Marrugeku staff in the area will provide added security for the Shire’s Officer working alone and further activation of the venue. The lease will also provide Marrugeku with a stable office and fulfil its desire to establish a local presence.

The Shire and Marrugeku already have a strong working relationship demonstrated by the recent sell-out performances of Cut the Sky, presented in August 2015 as part of the Civic Centre’s 2015-16 program and in accordance with the Shire’s Programming Policy for the Centre.

CircuitWest, West Australia’s leading Performing Arts body that provides effective and inclusive networks to through in the performing arts industry. Through grant funding CircuitWest undertook a stage-wide consultation in regard to programming in regional areas. The Chair of Performing Arts Connections (PAC) and the Guy Boyce the CircuitWest Chairperson and the General Manager of Mandurah Performing Arts Centre both advocated around the possibility of Marrugeku leasing the office space knowing the significant contribution they are making to performing arts as a state, national and international supported company.

Pigram Garden Theatre is Marrugeku’s preferred performance venue in Broome as it reflects the proud family heritage of Dalisa Pigram, one of the Co-Artistic Directors, and it caters for the dance theatre medium that is the core of the company’s work. With the company’s administrative operations based at the Civic Centre, it is envisaged other facilities within the centre will be hired (ie. rehearsal and performance spaces, meeting room) in accordance with the Shire’s adopted Fees and Charges.

It is proposed that access to the office space will be via the rear gate (Gate 2) with a PIN access that Marrugeku representatives only are to have, with consideration and regard for the normal operations of the Civic Centre. Key access will be provided to the office space and the Centre ablutions. Marrugeku will be issued with a unique security pin which will only provide access to the office space and no other areas of the building. 

Marrugeku are currently based at Mamabulanjin have submitted the attached (Attachment 2) proposal to lease the office space as they see the synergies between themselves and the Civic Centre and hope to build and strengthen the working relationship.

 

Officers are recommending that the Shire enters into a three-year (3) year lease agreement with Marrugeku, with option for a further three years – subject to approval from the Minister for Lands. The cost to lease the space would be based on market valuation (estimated to be approximately $4,400pa). 

 

Marrugeku Inc have requested the Shire of Broome absorb the cost of the legal expenses associated with drafting the lease agreement. Officers recommend capping the expenses to the tenant up to $2,000.

MARRUGEKU'S PROPOSAL TO THE SHIRE OF BROOME

  


Item 9.2.1 - LEASE DISPOSAL - CIVIC CENTRE OFFICE, 27 WELD STREET, BROOME

 

 



Minutes – Ordinary Meeting of Council 23 November 2017                                                             Page 27 of 388

 

Marrugeku Inc. Background Document

Date: 6 September 2017

Purpose:

To summarise the areas of support that the Shire of Broome could provide locally based, internationally recognised dance company – Marrugeku Inc

 

BACKGROUND


CircuitWest recently undertook a large state-wide consultation project targeting regional town centres and venues. Consultant Rick Heath and Guy Boyce (General Manager of Mandurah Performing Arts Centre) met with local Broome artists and arts organisations to discuss the challenges and opportunities faced in the region. During this visit Rick and Guy also met with Sarah Dobson. Both Rick and Guy are strong advocates for the work of Marrugeku and the significant contribution that they were making in the performing arts as a state, nationally and internationally supported company.

 

They were able to articulate the significant contribution to the innovative practices of Marrugeku in the context of intercultural and indigenous contemporary performance and the impact the company has on a global level. They were surprised that the support of the Shire of Broome was not prevalent and ongoing, given the company’s significance both within, but also, outside of their local community.

 

This prompted Sarah to re-visit earlier conversations with Marrugeku about supporting the organisation through space at the Broome Civic Centre. Marrugeku is extremely keen to progress this further and this document has been prepared to provide information about the possible areas of support.

 

REACH AND IMPACT

 

Marrugeku Inc is Australia’s premiere inter-cultural and indigenous physical theatre company. Based in Broome, it is truly one of a kind in the arts and cultural landscape. Marrugeku maintains a rare position as an innovative contemporary performing arts company which practices in the northwest of Australia. The company conceives, creates and presents its body of work wholly in Indigenous contexts and in remote conditions and as such responds directly to key issues facing those communities.

 

The company utilises contemporary dance, traditional and contemporary music, circus, installation and video art to create its visually spectacular productions. Works are presented in a variety of alternative locations from remote Indigenous communities to international arts festivals in Australia and around the world.

 

The company’s research methodologies are considered to be a leading model in international intercultural arts practice and it is the processes that they hone and continue to craft at home in Broome that allow them to be so distinctive. In essence, the research and development that they undertake locally in Broome has a lasting impact across the state, nationally and internationally – with Rachael and Dalisa being invited to speak at many conferences and forums – academic and arts related.

 

Marrugeku’s Patron, Senator Patrick Dodson, says of the company:

 

In Aboriginal spirituality the complexity created by modernity wasn’t part of where we were.

 

We now find ourselves in this complexity without having the necessary song, ceremony or dance to interpret the interface of the old and new competing realities. We need to find the new narratives, songs and dance to respect the land, and help us relearn respectful ways to interact with nature, cultures and human aspirations. Marrugeku comes at this challenge from the inside of the cultural life through the celebration of the dance, song, painting and narration. To deliver a celebration of the essence of that connectivity.

                    

Marrugeku is at the global forefront of cultural expressive integrity. Their work transcends romantic representation, to represent the complex social reality of contemporary Indigenous society in a manner that confronts ever increasing audiences of both Indigenous and non- Indigenous people. Marrugeku’s artistic integrity is also demonstrating their inclusiveness of Indigenous voices, advice and guidance. As cultural advisor I can strongly attest to that.

 

THE PROPOSAL

This proposal outlines a way that the Shire of Broome, through the Broome Civic Centre could support Marrugeku’s operations and the challenges the company faces being based remotely and in a highly transient region.

 

Office Space

 

The Broome Civic Centre has an office space that is eleven square metres (11sqm) situated adjacent to the Pigram Garden Theatre. The Shire’s Management Plan for the Broome Civic Centre includes entering into relevant and appropriate community partnerships for the purposes of activating the Centre. A Management Order was approved on 12 December 2014 to include Office Accommodation.

 

Currently the Broome Civic Centre has one full time officer based in the box office. Marrugeku also has one full time officer based in their current office in the Mamabulunjin Complex. Housing the two staff in the same area will provide added security for the staff members, further activation of the venue and also provide development opportunities for each individual. The new General Manager has extensive experience in arts management and producing but is new to Broome. Being situated in adjacent offices will promote an exchange of knowledge and expertise between both individuals.

 

It is proposed that in principle, the office space be rented out for at least the term of Marrugeku’s Australia Council organisations funding – which concludes in 2020.

DATE OF REPORT:                                    26 October 2017

 

SUMMARY:         The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) has received a request from Willie Creek Pearl Farm Pty Ltd for tenure options to facilitate the future expansion and development of Willie Creek Pearl Farm.  The DPLH is also seeking to provide legal access to the Pearl Farm.

The DPLH has written to the Shire seeking any comments / objections to the proposal to rationalise tenure and provide legal access to Lots 154 and 155 on Deposited Plan (DP) 184293.

As delegation does not exist for officers to provide comment, the request is being referred to Council for consideration.

This report recommends that Council supports:

·    Expansion of Lot 154 on DP 184293 (Lease J638665) to include adjoining Unallocated Crown Land Lots 413 on DP 26913 and Lot 550 on DP 71401

·    Creation of easements to access Lots 154 and 155.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Previous Considerations

 

Nil.

 

The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) has received a request from Willie Creek Pearl Farm Pty Ltd (Willie Creek Pearls) for tenure options to facilitate the future expansion and development of the Willie Creek Pearl Farm.  The DPLH is also seeking to provide legal access to the Pearl Farm.

 

Currently, Willie Creek Pearls operates under Lease J638665 over Lot 154 on Deposited Plan (DP) 184293 and Lease J638664 over Lot 155 on DP 184293 (see Attachment 1).  Infrastructure from Lease J638665 encroaches on Unallocated Crown Land (UCL), Lot 413 on DP 26913 and Lot 550 on DP 71401. 

 

The DPLH has written to the Shire seeking any comments / objections to the proposal to rationalise tenure and provide legal access to Lots 154 and 155 on DP 184293.

 

 

COMMENT

 

Lease J638665 over Lot 154 on DP 184293 and Lease J638664 over Lot 155 on DP 184293 both commenced on 1 January 2006 for a term of 10 years, for the permitted use of “Land Base in support of Pealing or for a Tourist interpretation facility associated with Pearling activities”.  Both Leases were extended in November 2013 for a further 11 years, and will expire on 31 December 2026.

 

Willie Creek Pearls has always held Lease J638665 over Lot 154 on DP 184293.  Clipper Holdings Pty Ltd held Lease J638664 over Lot 155 on Deposited Plan 184293 from January 2006 to April 2017, when the Lease was transferred to Willie Creek Pearls.

 

In order to facilitate future expansion, and address the encroachments and access issues, the DPLH is proposing the following (see Attachment 2):

 

·    Expand Lot 154 on DP 184293 (Lease J638665) to include adjoining UCL Lots 413 on DP 26913 and Lot 550 on DP 71401 and convert to freehold;

·    Convert Lot 155 on DP 184293 (Lease J638664) to freehold; and

·    Create easements to access Lots 154 and 155.

 

Lot 154 on Deposited Plan 184293

 

The Willie Creek Pearl Farm is recognised as a major tourism node by the Shire of Broome’s Local Planning Strategy which was endorsed by the Western Australian Planning Commission in 2014.  Lot 154 on DP 184293, Lot 413 on DP 26913 and Lot 550 on DP 71401 (proposed Lot 552) are zoned ‘Special Use – Pearl Farm’ under the provisions of the Broome Shire Local Planning Scheme No. 6 (LPS6).  The existing development and land use is consistent with the zoning.

 

Given the proximity of proposed Lot 552 to the coast, consideration must be given to SPP 2.6 – State Coastal Planning (SPP 2.6).  The Department of Planning prepared a Coastal Vulnerability Study (CVS) in September 2016 that covers this area which identifies areas that over time could be subject to inundation from coastal processes.

 

The CVS states the following with regards to this area:

 

A development constraints area has been applied between the HSD line and the predicted 2110 coastal processes allowance. It is not recommended new development be placed in this zone. If development must be located within this area, a site specific Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) be undertaken to ensure there is appropriate planning surrounding the development. As a minimum, development in this zone should be easily removed should it be threatened by erosion, and also not cause any impacts to the surrounding coastline.

 

Whilst it is noted development already exists on this site, the proposal would result in the tenure of the land changing from lease (with a defined term) to freehold (indefinite).  Given the likely future impacts, a Coastal Hazard Risk Management Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) should be undertaken and outcomes considered prior to any tenure change.

 

Further, consistent with clause 5.5 (ii) of SPP 2.6, if the site is converted to freehold then the following notification should be placed on title:

 

VULNERABLE COASTAL AREA – this lot is located in an area likely to be subject to coastal inundation over the next 100 years.

 

It is therefore recommended, based on the information above, the Shire supports the expansion of Lot 154 on DP 184293 to include adjoining UCL Lots 413 on DP 26913 and Lot 550 on DP 71401 (proposed Lot 552) into Lease J638665, but not the freeholding of the Lots.

 

Lot 155 on Deposited Plan 184293

 

Lot 155 on DP 184293 is identified as a Coastal Reserve under the provisions of LPS6 and furthermore approximately half of this site is in the creek/ocean.

 

Given its identification as a Coastal Reserve in LPS6 it is considered that the freeholding of this land would be inconsistent with SPP 2.6 and should not be supported.

 

Creation of Access Easements

 

The creation and grant of the access easement would encumber UCL Lot 551 on DP 71401 and Lot 259 on Deposited Plan 220696, connecting to the dedicated Willie Creek Road (see Attachment 3, with the proposed easement coloured blue).  A secondary access easement is proposed to connect Lots 154 and 155 along an existing track (see Attachment 3, with the proposed easement coloured green).

 

Regardless of the proposed expansion and conversion to freehold, the access easements are required and therefore their creation is supported. 

 

Summary

 

In summary, this report recommends that Council supports:

 

·    The expansion of Lot 154 on Deposited Plan 184293 (and Lease J638665) to include adjoining UCL Lots 413 on DP 26913 and Lot 550 on DP 71401; and

·    The creation of easements to access Lots 154 and 155 on Deposited Plan 184293.

 

CONSULTATION

 

DPLH will undertake stakeholder consultation as part of the freeholding process.

 

On 13 October 2017, Shire officers met with representatives from Willie Creek Pearl Farm Pty Ltd to discuss future expansion and development of Farm and tenure options.  During this meeting, Shire officers advised the freeholding on the current Leases (J638665 and J638664) was unlikely to be supported by officers on the basis of the CVS.  However, expanding the area of Lease J638665 into adjacent UCL and the creation of the access easements would be supported. 

 

STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT

 

Land Administration Act 1997

 

Section 87 Sale etc. of Crown land for amalgamation with adjoining land

(1)  In this section —

adjoining land means the land referred to in subsection (2)(b) or (3)(b), as the case requires.

(2)  Whenever the Minister considers that a parcel of Crown land is —

(a)         unsuitable for retention as a separate location or lot, or for subdivision and retention as separate locations or lots, because of its geographical location, potential use, size, shape or any other reason based on good land use planning principles; but

(b)         suitable for —

(i)      conveyance in fee simple to the holder of the fee simple; or

(ii)      disposal by way of lease to the holder of a lease granted by the Minister under this Act,

of land adjoining that parcel,

the Minister may, with the consent of that holder and on payment to the Minister of the price, or of the initial instalment of rent, as the case requires, agreed with that holder, by order convey that parcel in fee simple or lease that parcel to that holder and amalgamate that parcel with the adjoining land.

(3)  If —

(a)         a parcel of land comprised in a road that is closed, whether under this Act or the repealed Act, is Crown land; and

(b)         part of the land through which that closed road passes or which it adjoins is taken under Part 9 for the purpose of a road to replace that closed road; and

(c)         as a result of that taking, the person holding the fee simple of, or a lease granted by the Minister under this Act in respect of, the adjoining land (the landholder ) is entitled to compensation under that Part from the person who took that part (the taker ), the Minister may, with the consent of the landholder and the taker and on payment to the Minister of any price, or of any initial instalment of rent, as the case requires, agreed with the landholder, by order —

(d)         convey to the landholder in fee simple or lease to the landholder, as the case requires, by way of satisfaction or part satisfaction of the compensation payable to the landholder, so much of that parcel as is, in the opinion of the Minister, equivalent in value to the whole or the relevant part of that compensation; and

(e)         amalgamate the land so conveyed or leased with the adjoining land.

(4)  When land has been conveyed or leased under subsection (3)(d), the taker must, if required by the Minister to do so, pay to the Minister forthwith the amount of the compensation in satisfaction of which that land has been so conveyed or leased.

(5)  On the amalgamation under subsection (2) or (3) of the whole or part of a parcel of Crown land with the adjoining land —

(a)         that parcel or part becomes, if the adjoining land is —

(i)      land held in freehold, part of the adjoining land and held in the same freehold; or

(ii)      Crown land held under lease, part of the adjoining land and held under the same lease,

and, if the adjoining land is subject to any encumbrance, that parcel or part becomes subject to that encumbrance as if it had been part of the adjoining land when that encumbrance was created; and

(b)         the Registrar must alter the certificate of title or the certificate of Crown land title and the Register so as to show that that parcel or part forms part of the adjoining land.

(6)  If the freehold or lease of the adjoining land is, at the time of the amalgamation of the adjoining land with the whole or part of a parcel of Crown land under subsection (2) or (3), in the course of being sold under a contract of sale and the purchaser under that contract consents —

(a)         the purchase price or consideration set out in that contract is to be taken to be increased by an amount equal to the unimproved value of that whole or part; and

(b)         the conditions of that contract are taken to apply to that whole or part as if that whole or part had been part of the adjoining land when that contract was entered into.

(7)  Despite anything in subsection (6), that subsection does not affect the rights of any person in respect of a claim that has before the amalgamation referred to in that subsection been settled or decided.

 

Section 144 Easements over Crown land, Minister’s powers to grant etc.

(1)  Subject to this section, the Minister may —

(a)         with the consent of every management body of the relevant Crown land and of every person having any interest, right, title or power in respect of that land, grant to any person an easement in, on, over, through or under that Crown land for a specified purpose or any other purpose the Minister thinks fit; and

(b)         in that grant express that easement to be subject to specified conditions and the payment of specified consideration.

(2)  The grantee of an easement may, with the consent of any management body or lessee of the relevant Crown land, apply to the Minister for the easement to be varied or cancelled.

      (2a) An easement may be granted under this section despite the fact that the characteristics of the easement do not satisfy all of the characteristics that must be satisfied for an easement to be created under the common law.

(3)  The Minister may, on receiving an application under subsection (2) —

(a)         by order or other instrument vary or cancel the relevant easement; or

(b)         the provision of any structure, plant, or equipment; or

(c)         the provision of access for carrying out of any works and the performance of any maintenance that is necessary for, or ancillary or incidental to, giving effect to any of the purposes referred to in paragraph (a) or (b); or

SUMMARY: The Shire has received correspondence from the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH), seeking the Shire’s comments on the DPLH proposal to enter into an option to lease with NW Interconnected Power Pty Ltd (NWIP), over Unallocated Crown Land (UCL) that is currently subject to Lic00811/2015_A5683256 between the State of WA and NWIP.

In addition to the lease, two easements will be created to facilitate the laying of “Cables” and “Access”.

As delegation does not exist for officers to provide comment the request is being referred to Council for consideration.

This report recommends that Council support the proposal and advise the DPLH that an application for Development Approval will need to be submitted to the Shire.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Previous Considerations

 

In April 2016, the Shire received correspondence from the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) seeking the Shire’s comments on the proposed Section 91 Land Administration Act 1997 monitoring licence to inform the feasibility and site selection of a renewable energy facility.

 

The proposed Section 91 Licence was within an area located near the boarder of the Shire of East Pilbara and the Shire of Broome, with the majority of the area being Unallocated Crown Land (UCL) (see Attachments 1- 3).

 

On 26 September 2017, InterContinental Energy, which is in partnership with NW Interconnected Power Pty Ltd (NWIP) and Renewable Pty Ltd, provided Council with a workshop on their proposed renewable energy facility.

 

The Shire has recently received correspondence from the DPLH, seeking the Shire’s comments regarding an option to lease to NW Interconnected Power Pty Ltd (NWIP), over a reduced area of UCL that is currently subject to Lic00811/2015_A5683256 between the State of WA and NWIP.  A copy of the current licence area is at Attachment 4 (Licence Area A being the Shire of East Pilbara and Licence Area B being the Shire of Broome).

 

COMMENT

 

The Proposal

 

The DPLH proposes to enter into a five year option to lease with NWIP over land shown hatched on Attachment 5.  Upon exercising the option and subject to conditions being met, a lease will then be offered to NWIP for a term of 50 years with two further options of 25 years for a “Renewable Energy Facility” over that area.

 

In addition to the lease, two easements will be created for “Cables” and “Access” as depicted on Attachments 6 and 7.

 

The majority of the proposed project is located within the Shire of East Pilbara with only a small portion of the proposed lease area and the two proposed easements located within the Shire of Broome boundaries.

 

It is understood that the proposed cable will originate at a point approximately 4.7 km south-east of the Great Northern Highway, approximately 33kms south of the Sandfire Roadhouse, and will extend westwards some 18kms across the Wallal Downs pastoral lease to intersect the coastline approximately 13kms north of the Eighty Mile Beach Caravan Park (shown as proposed easement ‘cables’ on Attachments 6 and 7).

 

Local Planning Strategy & Local Planning Scheme No.6

 

The land on which the cable is proposed to be laid comprises a number of designations under the Shire’s Local Planning Strategy (Strategy) and Local Planning Scheme No.6 (LPS 6).  Specifically, the cable will cross land zoned ‘General Agriculture’ and will also intersect parcels of reserve land designated for ‘Coastal’ and ‘Public Purposes’.

 

On the basis that the development is not proposed to be undertaken by a public authority and is not Public Works or works associated with either a lease or approval granted under the Mining Act 1978 or Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967; an application for Development Approval will need to be submitted to the Shire to facilitate the laying of the cables and any other infrastructure that may be required as part of this process.

 

Depending on the value of the estimated cost of works related to the laying of the cable within the Shire of Broome; a Development Assessment Panel (DAP) application which is determined by a DAP (as opposed to an application determined by the Shire) may be required.  If the value of the works will exceed $10 million, the application is a mandatory DAP application, whereby a DAP application must be submitted to the Shire along with payment of both the DAP fee and Shire application fee.  The Shire will prepare a DAP assessment report to be considered by Council and then referred to the Joint Kimberley Development Assessment Panel for determination.  If the estimated cost is less than $10 million, NWIP may elect to have the application determined by the Shire, and submit an application to the Shire.

 

In assessing such a proposal under the Shire’s planning framework, the Shire would give consideration to the objectives for the General Agriculture zone and the purpose, aims and objectives for the Coastal and Public Purposes reserve land.  In this, LPS 6 requires that development and land-use within the coastal reserve be compatible with the ecological and cultural values of the locality, while the purpose and objectives of the General Agriculture zone allow for development that is compatible with general rural/pastoral activities and does not impact on rural character or capability of land.  As per Clause 67 – Matters to be Considered under the deemed provisions (Planning and Development (Local Planning Scheme) Regulations 2015); an application for Development Approval would need to demonstrate appropriate vehicle access arrangements and provision for servicing. Requirements that may apply under relevant legislation such as bushfire management, heritage, water licensing and clearing of vegetation would also be considered.

 

Subject to information being provided demonstrating that the above matters have been addressed, it is likely that the Shire would be able to approve such an application.

 

Overall, it is recommended that the proposed lease and easements be supported, subject to the proponent being informed that a development application is required for the works within the Shire of Broome.

 

CONSULTATION

 

The DPLH will undertake stakeholder consultation as due process.

 

The proponent, NWIP, has undertaken consultation with the Shire of Broome, Pastoral Lessee, including Wallal Downs and Nita Downs, and relevant native title groups.

SUMMARY:         Lot 610 on Deposited Plan (DP) 410012 was an Unallocated Crown Land lot comprising land and waters excised from Port Waters adjacent to Cable Beach.

A portion of this Lot comprising the intertidal zone is now Reserve 53070 for the purpose of ‘recreation’ with Management Orders in favour of the Shire of Broome.

This report recommends that Council writes to the Department of Planning Lands and Heritage seeking the creation of a reserve over the balance of the former Lot 610, now described as Lot 620 on DP 412510, for the purpose of ‘recreation’ with Management Orders in favour of the Shire of Broome.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Previous Considerations

 

OMC 17 October 2013                 Item 9.2.1

 

Ordinary Meeting of Council 17 October 2013

 

At the OMC on 17 October 2013, Council considered the Department of Land’s (now Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH)) (previously Department of Lands (DoL)) request to comment on a proposal by the Broome Port Authority to change the Broome Port Area boundary by amending the boundary offshore to the Lowest Astrological Tide (excising the Intertidal Zone).

 

Council resolved the following (see point 1.d. that is particularly of relevance to this agenda item):

 

COUNCIL RESOLUTION:

(REPORT RECOMMENDATION)

 

Moved:  Cr D Male                                  Seconded:  Cr C Mitchell

 

That Council:

 

1.   Advise the Department of Lands that its preference for the following purposes and management options for the Broome Port Authority Intertidal Areas are:

a.   Area 1 – Dampier Creek East to Fall Point
This area is out of the Broome town area and the Management Order be issued jointly to Yawuru and the Shire of Broome for recreation

b.   Area 2 – Dampier Creek Waterway
This area is a key community and visitor recreation area, and a management order be issue be issued to the Shire for recreation with recognition of Yawuru values

c.   Area 3 – Dampier Creek West to Simpsons Beach (Eastern Foreshore)
This area is a key community and visitor recreation area,  and a management order be issue be issued to the Shire for recreation with recognition of Yawuru values

d.   Area 4 – Riddell Beach to Port Reserve Boundary (Western Foreshore)
This area is a key community and visitor recreation area,  and a management order be issue be issued to the Shire for recreation with recognition of Yawuru values

2.   Requests the CEO:

a.   Seek agreement from key stakeholders (DPaW, Yawuru, Department of Lands and BPA) on the proposed care control and management of the intertidal areas

b.   Following agreement from the key stakeholders, undertake community consultation on the proposed care, control and management of the intertidal areas

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 6/0

 

Shire officers recently became aware that the Kimberly Port Authority had relinquished part of its Port Waters adjacent to the Cable Beach Foreshore, creating Unallocated Crown Land (UCL) Lot 610 on Deposited Plan (DP) 410012.  This lot commenced from a point aligned with De Marchi Road to just north of the rocks and extended from the boundary of the Shire’s Foreshore Reserve R36477 out into the ocean (see Attachment 1).  The lot was approximately 900 hectares in area.

 

The purpose for excising Lot 610 from Port Waters was to allow for on-water control by the Department of Transport and intertidal zone control by the Shire of Broome.  The surrender of waters was to enable a broader range of uses of the subject area by businesses particularly those wishing to provide water based recreational activities.

 

Shire officers consulted with the DPLH regarding the subject area and advised that nothing has progressed since the excision in January 2017.  Subsequently, on 12 July 2017, Shire officers applied to the DPLH for the creation of a reserve over Lot 610 on DP 410012. 

 

On the 24 July 2017, the DPLH issued a section 91 Licence for that portion of the intertidal zone located within Lot 610 to allow the Shire to continue the care, control and management of the intertidal zone for events and commercial uses as co-ordinated by the Shire (see Attachment 2).  This licence was issued as an interim measure until a reserve could be created and Management Orders issued by DPLH.

 

The section 91 Licence and creation of a reserve for the purpose of ‘recreation’ in accordance with Council resolution of the 17 October 2013, is only for the intertidal zone within Lot 610 on DP 410012.

 

It was intended that the remaining excised Port Waters be managed by the Department of Transport, however to date there has been no approach by the Department of Transport to the DPLH for the creation of a reserve. 

COMMENT

 

On 20 October 2017, Reserve 53070 for the purpose of ‘recreation’ with Management Orders in favour of the Shire of Broome was created over the section 91 Licence area, being newly created Lot 621 on DP 412510.

 

As a result of the creation of Reserve 53070, the remaining excised portion of Lot 610 on DP 410012 became Lot 620 on DP 412510 (see Attachment 3).

 

It would seem appropriate that the Shire of Broome seek the creation of a reserve for the purpose of ‘recreation’ over the remaining portion of newly created Lot 620 on DP 412510 with Management Orders in favour of the Shire of Broome, to ensure these waters are available for recreational use in conjunction with the adjacent intertidal zone and foreshore reserves.

 

To facilitate the creation of a reserve over Lot 620, the Shire must write to the DPLH requesting the Minister of Lands create the reserve with Management Orders in favour of the Shire of Broome. 

 

In order to expedite the process, the Shire has submitted a “Land Enquiry” request with the DPLH seeking creation of the reserve and Management Orders.

 

It is therefore recommended that Council supports the Shire writing to the DPLH seeking that the Minister for Lands create the reserve for the purpose of ‘recreation’ with Management Orders in favour of the Shire of Broome for Lot 620 on DP 412510.

 

CONSULTATION

 

The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage

 

The matter was discussed at the Yawuru Park Council Working Group meeting on 6 November 2017.

 

STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT

 

Land Administration Act 1997 (WA)

 

Section 46.  Care, control and management of reserves

 

1)           The Minister may by order place with any one person or jointly with any 2 or more persons the care, control and management of a reserve for the same purpose as that for which the relevant Crown land is reserved under section 41 and for purposes ancillary or beneficial to that purpose and may in that order subject that care, control and management to such conditions as the Minister specifies.

(2)          The Minister may, with the consent of the management body of a reserve and of the holders of any interests within the reserve, by order vary any condition to which the care, control and management of the reserve is subject.

(3)          The Minister may —

(a)  by order confer on a management body power, subject to section 18, to grant a lease or sublease or licence over the whole or any part of the Crown land within the reserve in question for the purposes referred to in subsection (1); and

(b)  approve a mortgage of any such lease.

(3a)       The Minister may by order —

(a)  without the consent of the management body of a reserve, vary —

(i)  an order made under subsection (3)(a); or

(ii) an order made under section 33 of the repealed Act or section 42 or 43 of the Land Act 1898 7 that subsists as an order made under subsection (3)(a),

in relation to whether or not prior approval in writing of the Minister is required to a grant of a lease, sublease, or licence; or

(b)  with the consent of the management body of a reserve, vary any other condition to which —

(i)  an order made under subsection (3)(a); or

(ii) an order made under section 33 of the repealed Act or section 42 or 43 of the Land Act 1898   7 that subsists as an order made under subsection (3)(a),is subject.

(3b)       The Minister’s approval under section 18 is not required for the exercise of a power conferred under subsection (3)(a) unless —

(a)  the person on whom the power is conferred is —

(i)    a body corporate that is constituted for a public purpose under an enactment and is an agency of the Crown in right of the State; or

(ii)   a person referred to in subsection (10)(b),

and the order provides that the Minister’s approval under section 18 is required; or

(b)  the person on whom the power is conferred is a person other than a person referred to in paragraph (a).

(4)          If an unmanaged reserve is the subject of —

(a)  a lease granted under section 47; or

(b)  a licence, or a lease or profit à prendre, granted under section 48, or of any other interest in the unmanaged reserve, the Minister may under subsection (1) place the care, control and management of that reserve with a management body subject to that licence, lease or profit à prendre or other interest, the term of which continues unbroken by that placing.

(5)          An order made under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (3a) does not create any interest in Crown land in the relevant reserve in favour of the management body of that reserve.

(6)          If Crown land reserved under section 41 for the purpose of recreation is leased or subleased under a power conferred under subsection (3), the lessee or sublessee may, unless the terms of the management order or the lease or sublease otherwise provide, restrict public access to the area leased.

(7)          A person with whom the care, control and management of a reserve is placed by order under subsection (1) has, by virtue of this subsection, the capacity, functions and powers to hold and deal with the reserve in a manner consistent with the order, any order conferring power on that person under subsection (3)(a) and this Act to the extent that the person does not already have that capacity or those functions and powers.

(8)          Subsection (7) does not authorise a management body to perform a function or exercise a power if another enactment expressly prevents the person from performing that function or exercising that power, or expressly authorises another person to perform that function or exercise that power.

(9)          Any instrument in relation to the care, control and management of a reserve entered into or given by a person holding an office referred to in subsection (10)(b)(i) or (iii) is taken to have been entered into or given by the person for the time being holding that office.

(10)        In subsection (1), a reference to a person is a reference to —

(a)  a person having perpetual succession;

(b)  a person not having perpetual succession who is —

(i)  a Minister to whom the Act specified in the relevant order is for the time being committed by the Governor; or

                               [(ii) deleted]

(ii) a person holding a prescribed office.

(11)        If an order made under section 33 of the repealed Act subsists under clause 16(1) of Schedule 2 as if it were a management order under section 46(1), the Minister may by order vary that order to place the care, control and management of the reserve the subject of the order with a person referred to in subsection (10).

(12)        An order made under section 46(1) before the coming into operation of section 12 of the Land Administration Amendment Act 2000 1 may be varied by the Minister by order to place the care, control and management of the reserve the subject of the order with a person referred to in subsection (10).

The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) and the Kimberly Land Council (KLC) are proposing to hold the National Native Title Conference 2018 (Conference) in Broome and in accordance with the Policy, this event must be approved by Council.

 

In September 2017, Council adopted the Broome Major Events Strategy.  Pillar five of the Strategy is to make Broome an attractive destination to host conferences. The AIATSIS and KLC hosting a major national conference in the Cable Beach precinct is a positive step toward demonstrating to conference organisers the capacity of Broome to accommodate large conferences.

 

COMMENT

 

This report seeks Council approval for the Conference, which cannot be approved under delegation as it is located on the Cable Beach foreshore reserve.

 

Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies

 

AIATSIS is Australia’s only national institution focused exclusively on the diverse history, cultures and heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australia.

 

For more than 50 years AIATSIS has preserved a growing collection of over one million items encompassing films, photographs, audio recordings, art and artefacts, printed and other resource materials. AIATSIS works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities on a diverse range of research projects employing the highest ethical standards, and directly benefitting the communities they work with. AIATSIS also publish award-winning books, journals, CDs, DVDs and apps that engage people with the story of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australia.

 

Governed by a Council of imminent Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, AIATSIS is a Statutory Authority within the portfolio of the Federal Department of Education and Training.  The Portfolio Minister is Senator the Hon. Simon Birmingham.

 

Conference Overview

 

The AIATSIS and the KLC will co-convene the Conference, with Traditional Owner hosts Yawuru, from 5 to 7 June 2018.

 

This will be the first time the conference will be held in the region of far North-Western Australia. In 2018, the conference will also mark the 40th anniversary of the KLC, a milestone achievement for a peak Indigenous body in the Kimberley region and nationally.

 

The Conference is a nationally significant event and remains the largest Indigenous policy and research conference in Australia. It is expected that the 2018 conference will bring 750 delegates to Broome.

 

The Prime Minister of Australia, the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull, MP Minister for Education Nigel Scullion and the former prime minister of Australia, the Hon. Paul Keating will be invited to speak at the conference.

 

The speaking program will include Federal Ministers and parliamentarians, and high profile international and keynote speakers. It will include an exciting cultural program showcasing Broome’s Aboriginal culture, performances, arts and crafts and trade.

 

The Conference attracts strong media attention involving media outlets such as ABC News, Sky News, local television and Indigenous media outlets including the National Indigenous Radio Service, generating positive media coverage over the three days.

 

The successes of Yawuru and other native title agreements in the Kimberley region has seen local investment and benefits being shared across the Kimberley and these agreements will continue to be important to the growth and prosperity of communities and small business in the region.

 

The Conference is expected to bring significant business and tourism to Broome, including the support of the Perth Convention Bureau. AIATSIS has engaged the Cable Beach Resort to provide conference space and 80 rooms for AIATSIS Council members, VIP guests and delegate accommodation.

 

An imperative for AIATSIS and the KLC is for local Broome businesses to be engaged to supply the goods and services for the Conference, including accommodation, conference venue suppliers, catering and Broome tourism activities for promotion.

 

 

Event Details

 

The conference set up is proposed to commence on Thursday, 31 May 2018 and pack down completed by Saturday, 9 June 2018. The Conference is proposed to be held from Tuesday, 5 June to Thursday, 7 June 2018 on the Cable Beach Amphitheatre, grassed areas of the Cable Beach Foreshore Reserve and adjacent car park.  The expected attendance over the conference days is 750 delegates. 

 

The infrastructure to be erected for the holding of the Conference will include three large marquees to be positioned in the Cable Beach Amphitheatre, Cable Beach Foreshore Reserve and the northern end of the Cable Beach car park.  Other infrastructure will include ablution facilities, waste management facilities, a designated area for event exhibition stalls and general congregating area for delegates.

 

The site plan for the Conference is shown in Attachment 1.

 

Parking

 

Parts of the Conference infrastructure will be set up in the Cable Beach car park and therefore it is anticipated that approximately 44 car parking bays will not be available for use by the public for the duration of the period (from 31 May 2018 to 9 June 2018).

 

Given that the Conference delegates will traveling from intra and interstate and staying in accommodation within proximity to the site, it is reasoned that there will be limited, if any, conflict in the use of the available public parking bays by delegates of the Conference and customers of businesses within proximity.

 

Planning

 

Clause 61(2)(d) of the Deemed Provisions (Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (Regulations)), exempts an activity from the need for Development Approval provided that the activity occurs on a ‘temporary’ basis. As defined in the Regulations, an activity is temporary where it is a ‘temporary use which is in existence for less than 48 hours, or a longer period agreed by the local government, in any 12-month period.’ With a view to providing further exemption to facilitate event activities; the Shire’s Local Planning Policy 8.30 – Minor Development (LPP 8.30), defines temporary as being less than 120 contiguous hours (a maximum of 5 consecutive days) or such longer time as the local government agrees. The current proposal would see the event to occur over a longer time period, being 9 consecutive days.

 

In considering whether Council should resolve that the event be considered temporary, reference should be made to the Matters to be Considered under Clause 67 of the Deemed Provisions.  Taking those matters into account, the proposed event activity:

 

·     Is compatible with the purpose of the Reserve insofar as the reserve is vested with the Shire for recreation, parking and drainage purposes, with access to the Reserve for the general public to be maintained at all times during the event. Structures associated with the event will be non-permanent and will not impact on the drainage purpose of the Reserve, and furthermore, a traffic management plan submitted by the applicant has demonstrated that impacts on the use of the Reserve for public parking will be minimal.

·     Is consistent with the activation objectives for the location under the Cable Beach Development Strategy and Cable Beach Foreshore Masterplan.

·     Has demonstrated that arrangements for vehicle access, parking and pedestrian access (both for public use of the Reserve and event attendees) will be adequate.

·     Is not expected to impact adversely on the amenity and character of the location or locality, given the temporary nature of the activity. The applicant has demonstrated that appropriate measures will be implemented to ensure noise and anti-social behaviour are managed, with event security, safety and noise management plans to be prepared and approved by the Shire.

·     Will be adequately serviced with the application demonstrating that refuse, water and ablutions facilities will be provided in compliance with relevant Health requirements.

Further to the above, the event application has been seen to address relevant considerations under the Shire’s Planning Framework, and as per the provisions of LPP 8.30.  Therefore, it is recommended that the extended timeframe for the event to be considered temporary be supported.

 

Summary

 

Officers are recommending that the Conference event be approved based on a review of the event application.  From consultation undertaken with the event organiser, officers consider the event will be managed in way that will ensure all risks are identified and mitigated from the aspect of site management and safety, delegate interaction with the public and impact on the precinct. The Conference will provide activation of the Cable Beach precinct, with flow on benefits to the Broome community. 

 

CONSULTATION

 

KLC have advised that they have undertaken consultation with the Cable Beach Club, with parts of the Conference to be held in the Cable Beach Club. Initial discussions with the Broome Camp School regarding the holding of the Conference have also been undertaken by KLC, however more detailed consultation will be undertaken on the site lay out plans. They are yet to undertake consultation with Zanders, however they have been advised by officers that they need to do so.  KLC have advised that they intend to approach Zanders to provide catering for the event.

 

The event will be held on Yawuru’s traditional lands and Yawuru will be partners in hosting the Conference.  Goolari Media will be taking a role in the delivery of the Conference.

 

Officers are currently undertaking consultation with the KLC and the Cable Beach Club to come to an agreement regarding an overlap of the dates for Conference pack down and an existing venue booking (Rob Broadfield Telethon Dinner) for the Cable Beach Amphitheatre and the northern end of the Cable Beach car park on the 8 and 9 June 2017.

This event is considered to be a low to medium level risk for the Shire.  Given the extended period of occupation of the Cable Beach Foreshore Reserve, there is a possibility of negative community response to the Conference. Officers are working with the Conference organisers to develop a positive media campaign regarding the Conference and benefits to the Broome region.  Early consultation is also being undertaken with adjoining businesses and property owners to mitigate the risk.

PRIORITY STATEMENT

 

Our region has grown significantly over the past years in terms of population, economy and industry – this will continue!  Balancing ecological sustainability with economic growth and retaining the ‘look and feel’ of Broome and its environs are an ongoing challenge for the region.  Encouraging appropriate investment and business development opportunities to ensure a strong, diverse economic base is essential for community prosperity and the success of our future generations.

 

Focusing on developing clear pathways linking education with employment for our youth and the community at large is essential as we aim to retain our local people and continue to build a skilled and highly motivated workforce.

 

Business and Industry partnerships must be fostered to ensure sustainable economic growth is achieved, along with the provision of affordable and equitable services and infrastructure.  Ensuring development meets community needs and legislative requirements whilst creating close community relationships and enhancing our understanding of local heritage and cultural issues will continue to be a major focus.  The built environment must contribute to the economy, long term viability of the region and provide a quality lifestyle for all.

BACKGROUND

 

Previous Considerations

 

Nil

 

COMMENT

 

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has delegated authority to make payments from the Municipal and Trust funds in accordance with budget allocations.

 

The Shire provides payments to suppliers by either Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), cheque, credit card or direct debit.

 

Attached is a list of all payments processed under delegated authority during the month October 2017.

 

CONSULTATION

STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT

 

Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996

13.     Payments from municipal fund or trust fund by CEO, CEO’s duties as to etc.

(1)     If the local government has delegated to the CEO the exercise of its power to make payments from the municipal fund or the trust fund, a list of accounts paid by the CEO is to be prepared each month showing for each account paid since the last such list was prepared —

(a)    the payee’s name;

(b)    the amount of the payment; and

(c)    the date of the payment; and

(d)    sufficient information to identify the transaction.

 

 

(2)     A list of accounts for approval to be paid is to be prepared each month showing —

The above graph shows the percentage of local spend in comparison to non-local and recoupable spend for the month of October 2017 after the following costs have been removed;

·    Personnel payments

·    Annual & quarterly Insurance payments ($402,000)

·    Business Activity Statement lodgement (GST payable - $417,000)

 

RISK

 

The risk of Council not adopting this report is extreme as this will result in non-compliance with Regulation 13 of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996. The likelihood of this ever occurring is rare due to the CEO’s implementation of procedures to ensure payment details are disclosed to Council in a timely manner, as well as Procurement and Purchasing policies which ensure these payments are made in accordance with budget and delegated authority and comply with Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996.

 

STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS 

 

Our Organisation Goal – Continually enhance the Shire’s organisational capacity to service the needs of a growing community:

 

An organisational culture that strives for service excellence

DATE OF REPORT:                                    8 November 2017

 

SUMMARY:         Council is required by legislation to consider and adopt the Monthly Statement of Financial Activity Report for the period ended 31 October 2017, as required by Regulation 34(1) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 (FMR).

Council is further provided with a General Fund Summary of Financial Activity (Schedules 2 to 14) which provides comprehensive information on Council’s operations by Function and Activity.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Previous Considerations

 

Council is provided with the Monthly Financial Activity Report which has been developed in line with statutory reporting standards and provides Council with a holistic overview of the operations of the Shire of Broome.

 

Supplementary information has been provided in the form of Notes to the Monthly Report and a General Fund Summary of Financial Activity, which discloses Council’s Revenue and Expenditure in summary form, by Programme (Function and Activity).

 

Disclosure and supply of appropriate explanations for variances presented in the Statement of Financial Activity, is mandatory under FMR 34(2)(b) as stated in Policy 2.1.1 Materiality in Financial Reporting.

 

FMR 34(5) requires a local government to adopt a percentage or value, calculated in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and Council’s adopted risk management matrix thresholds, to be used in statements of financial activity for reporting material variances.

 

COMMENT

 

The 2017/2018 Annual Budget was adopted at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 29 June 2017.

 

The following are key indicators supporting the year to-date budget position with respect to the Annual Forecast Budget:

 

Budget Year elapsed                       33.7%

Total Rates Raised Revenue            100% (of which 70.94% has been collected)

Total Other Operating Revenue     44%

Total Operating Expenditure           28%

Total Capital Revenue                     34%   

Total Capital Expenditure                8%

Total Sale of Assets Revenue           21%

 

More detailed explanations of variances are contained in Note 2 of the Monthly Statement of Financial Activity. The commentary identifies material variations between the expected year-to-date budget position and the position at the reporting date.

 

Based on the 2017/2018 Annual Budget presented at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 29 June 2017, Council adopted a balanced budget to 30 June 2018.

 

It should be noted that the Annual Financial Statements for the Shire of Broome were completed and presented to the Audit Committee on 16 October 2017 before being endorsed by Council on 19 October 2017. The final report included recommendations for the use of an additional $1,727,141 in carried forward surplus. These recommendations were approved by Council and incorporated into the 2017-18 budget. The result of all amendments year-to-date has a nil impact on the forecast end-of-year position and presents a balance budget.

STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT

 

Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996

 

34. Financial activity statement report — s. 6.4

(1A)       In this regulation —

“committed assets” means revenue unspent but set aside under the annual budget for a specific purpose.

 

(1)          A local government is to prepare each month a statement of financial activity reporting on the sources and applications of funds, as set out in the annual budget under regulation 22(1)(d), for that month in the following detail —

(a)         annual budget estimates, taking into account any expenditure incurred for an additional purpose under section 6.8(1)(b) or (c);

(b)         budget estimates to the end of the month to which the statement relates;

(c)         actual amounts of expenditure, revenue and income to the end of the month to which the statement relates;

(d)         material variances between the comparable amounts referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c); and

(e)         the net current assets at the end of the month to which the statement relates

 

(2)         Each statement of financial activity is to be accompanied by documents containing —

(a)        an explanation of the composition of the net current assets of the month to which the statement relates, less committed assets and restricted assets;

(b)        an explanation of each of the material variances referred to in subregulation (1)(d); and

(c)         such other supporting information as is considered relevant by the local government.

 

(3)          The information in a statement of financial activity may be shown —

(a)          according to nature and type classification;

(b)          by program; or

(c)          by business unit.

 

(4)          A statement of financial activity, and the accompanying documents referred to in subregulation (2), are to be —

(a)         presented at an ordinary meeting of the council within 2 months after the end of the month to which the statement relates; and

(b)         recorded in the minutes of the meeting at which it is presented.

 

(5)        Each financial year, a local government is to adopt a percentage or value, calculated in accordance with the AAS, to be used in statements of financial activity for reporting material variances.

 

Local Government Act 1995

 

6.8. Expenditure from municipal fund not included in annual budget

(1)         A local government is not to incur expenditure from its municipal fund for an additional purpose except where the expenditure —

(a)         is incurred in a financial year before the adoption of the annual budget by the local government;

(b)         is authorised in advance by resolution*; or

(c)         is authorised in advance by the mayor or president in an emergency.

* Absolute majority required.

 

(1a)        In subsection (1) —

“additional purpose” means a purpose for which no expenditure estimate is included in the local government’s annual budget.

 

(2)          Where expenditure has been incurred by a local government —

(a)        pursuant to subsection (1)(a), it is to be included in the annual budget for that financial year; and

(b)        pursuant to subsection (1)(c), it is to be reported to the next ordinary meeting of the council.

 

POLICY IMPLICATIONS

 

2.1.1 Materiality in Financial Reporting

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The adoption of the Monthly Financial Report is retrospective.  Accordingly, the financial implications associated with adopting the Monthly Financial Report are nil.

 

RISK

 

The Financial Activity report is presented monthly and provides a retrospective picture of the activities at the Shire. Contained within the report is information pertaining to the financial cost and delivery of strategic initiatives and key projects.

 

In order to mitigate the risk of budget over-runs or non-delivery of projects, the Chief Executive Officer has implemented internal control measures such as regular Council and management reporting and the quarterly FACR process to monitor financial performance against budget estimates. Materiality reporting thresholds have been established at half the adopted Council levels, which equate to $5,000 for operating budget line items and $10,000 for capital items, to alert management prior to there being irreversible impacts.

 

It should also be noted that there is an inherent level of risk of misrepresentation of the financials through either human error or potential fraud. The establishment of control measures through a series of efficient systems, policies and procedures, which fall under the responsibility of the CEO as laid out in the Local Government (Financial Management Regulations) 1996 regulation 5, seek to mitigate the possibility of this occurring. These controls are set in place to provide daily, weekly and monthly checks to ensure that the integrity of the data provided is reasonably assured.

 

STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS

 

Our Prosperity Goal – Create the means to enable local jobs creation and lifestyle affordability for the current and future population:

 

Affordable and equitable services and infrastructure

 

Affordable land for residential, industrial, commercial and community use

 

Key economic development strategies for the Shire which are aligned to regional outcomes working through recognised planning and development groups/committees

 

Our Organisation Goal – Continually enhance the Shire’s organisational capacity to service the needs of a growing community:

 

An organisational culture that strives for service excellence

 

Sustainable and integrated strategic and operational plans

 

Responsible resource allocation

 

Effective community engagement

 

Improved systems, processes and compliance

DATE OF REPORT:                                    7 November 2017

 

SUMMARY:         This report requests Council consider the dates, times and locations of Ordinary Meetings of Council to be held in 2018 and recommends that Council adopts the proposed meeting dates and they be advertised as required under the Local Government Act 1995.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Previous Considerations

 

Nil.

 

In accordance with Regulation 12(1) of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996, local governments are to, at least once a year, provide local public notice of the date, time and location that their Ordinary Meetings of Council (OMCs) are to be held within the next 12 months.

 

COMMENT

 

It is proposed that in 2018, OMCs are held in the Shire of Broome Council Chambers on the last Thursday of every month (except January, March, November and December) and commence at 5.00pm.

 

The proposed March meeting date has been brought forward a week because the Easter long weekend is 30 March – 2 April 2018.

 

An early December meeting date is proposed to coincide with the expected timing of an Annual Electors Meeting in mid-December, as well as to ensure that the meeting occurs prior to the school holidays and Christmas-New Year period.

 

The proposed November meeting date has been brought forward a week to provide for a more even distribution of the Agenda preparation cycle and meeting dates towards the end of 2018. 

 

Since 2011, a total of 11 OMCs have been held during a calendar year with a recess in January. This recess period allows staff and Councillors sufficient time off over the Christmas and school holiday period, and relieves staff from the early January Agenda preparation cycle necessary to hold a January meeting.

 

 

Proposed 2018 OMC dates are as follows:

 

January 2018 – Recess

22 February 2018

22 March 2018

26 April 2018

31 May 2018

Community Meetings

 

Prior to 2017, one OMC was held each year at a major community within the Shire of Broome.  However, Council decided at the OMC in November 2016 that no annual OMC would be held at a community in 2017 due to poor attendance and the high cost of Community meetings.  Instead it was proposed that Shire Officers and the Shire President visit all major communities annually, after necessary appointments and items for discussion have been arranged.

 

The Acting Shire President, Cr Foy, Cr Matsumoto and Shire Officers visited all major Dampier Peninsula communities over 2 - 3 October 2017 and met with Aboriginal corporations, community representatives and tourism operators.  This approach successfully facilitated substantive discussion on matters relevant to each community and organisation. 

 

It is proposed that the Shire President and Senior Staff visit all major communities in the Shire again in 2018, with all Councillors invited to participate.

DATE OF REPORT:                                    10 November 2017

 

SUMMARY:         Following the outcome of the Ordinary Local Government Election on 21 October 2017, Council is required to consider its representation on various Council Committees and Working Groups.  Appointments to external committees have also been reviewed.

In order to inform Council a full review of the operations of Committees and Working Groups and their Terms of Reference has been undertaken.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Previous Considerations

 

Nil.

 

As per section 5.11 of the Local Government Act 1995, Council representatives on its Committees and Working Groups established under the Act are discontinued following a local government election and as such, nominations for Council representation are required.

 

Council may also wish to consider the current appointments to other statutory Committees and its representatives on outside bodies.

 

COMMENT

 

A review has been undertaken of the Terms of Reference (see Attachment 1) for all active Shire of Broome Council Committees and Working Groups. It has also considered Council representation on external committees and other appointments. 

 

In relation to Shire of Broome Council Committees and Working Groups, updates have been proposed to:

·    Committee and Working Group membership, primarily reflecting machinery of government changes at both the Commonwealth and State government levels, as well as staffing changes within the Shire and associated government agencies, community organisations and industry groups;

·    Discontinue identified committees and working groups due to a limited number of reports being submitted for consideration by the committees and low participation rates. The Shire’s Community Engagement Framework will be used to obtain key stakeholder input on specific matters and projects previously considered by these committees and working groups.

Council will need to consider committee and working group membership, however it is recommended that current external representatives are re-appointed to provide continuity of background knowledge.  New members will be sought to fill any vacancies and new appointments presented to Council as they arise. 

 

A briefing was provided to Councillors on 6 November 2017 which was attended by Councillors Tracey, Male, Matsumoto, Mitchell and Rudeforth.  The proposed changes are summarised as follows:

 

PART 1 – COUNCIL COMMITTEES

 

Audit and Risk Committee

 

It is recommended that the name of the Audit Committee be amended to the Audit and Risk Committee to incorporate risk management functions in the Terms of Reference for the Committee.

 

It is also proposed that an additional Deputy be nominated to ensure a quorum for each meeting.

 

Councillors on this Committee prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Male (Chairperson);

·    Cr Johnston (Deputy Chair); and

·    Cr Tracey;

·    with Cr Mitchell as Deputy.

 

Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee

 

It is proposed that this Committee be discontinued as it is considered that its role does not fulfil the current strategic direction and operational objectives of the Shire. There have been a limited number of issues or projects requiring consideration by the Committee over the past two years. Additionally, meetings have not been able to proceed as a quorum has not been achieved.

 

Instead it is proposed that the Shire’s Community Engagement Framework is further promoted and used by staff to obtain key stakeholder input into access and inclusion matters and projects.  The Framework informs the appropriate level of consultation for each project - which can take qualitative and/or quantitative forms. In seeking qualitative input, officers will be able to target stakeholders with specialised skills in relation to the project subject matter. For most projects, officers will need to incorporate community consultation and engagement into project plans. Council would have an opportunity to oversee and monitor this process through reports presented to Council, whereby officers would be expected to detail how they have met the requirements of the Community Engagement Framework.

 

This approach is expected to deliver a higher level of engagement and value to individual projects rather than the current formal committee structure.

 

Councillors on this Committee prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Tracey (Chairperson); and

·    Cr Mitchell

·    with Cr Male as Deputy. 

 

Arts, Culture and Heritage Advisory Committee

 

It is proposed that this Committee be discontinued as it is considered that its role does not fulfil the current strategic direction and operational objectives of the Shire.  Additionally, there has been difficulty in filling membership positions with appropriate expertise.

Instead it is proposed that the Shire’s Community Engagement Framework is further promoted and used by staff to obtain key stakeholder input into arts, culture and heritage matters and projects.  The Framework informs the appropriate level of consultation for each project - which can take qualitative and/or quantitative forms. In seeking qualitative input, officers will be able to target stakeholders with specialised skills in relation to the project subject matter. For most projects, officers will need to incorporate community consultation and engagement into project plans. Council would have an opportunity to oversee and monitor this process through reports presented to Council, whereby officers would be expected to detail how they have met the requirements of the Community Engagement Framework.

This approach is expected to deliver a higher level of engagement and value to individual projects rather than the current formal committee structure.

 

Councillors on this Committee prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Fairborn; and

·    Cr Matsumoto;

·    with Cr Rudeforth as Deputy.

 

Bush Fire Advisory Committee

 

It is recommended that S/SGT Brendon Barwick, OIC Broome Police be appointed Deputy Chairperson, for consistency with the Local Emergency Management Committee given the links between the issues discussed by the two Committees.   

 

Community representatives have been updated, and now include a representative for Skuthorpe. Agency and Organisation representatives have also been updated to reflect staffing and machinery of government changes.  The meeting schedule has been updated from biannual to quarterly, to reflect current practice.

 

Councillors on this Committee prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Mitchell (Chairperson);

·    with Cr Johnston as Deputy.

 

Economic Development Advisory Committee

Upon review of this Committee, officers believe it is delivering a valuable level of engagement and feedback to Council on relevant projects.

 

It is recommended that the Committee’s membership be updated to reflect the broad interest in the work of the Committee from across the key industry sectors in the Broome Shire, as well as government agencies.  The proposed membership reflects recent attendance and participation at the meetings.

 

Given the size of the Committee’s membership, it is proposed to increase the size of a quorum to eight members, and clarify that each member agency or organisation only have one voting representative at each meeting.

 

It is also proposed to clarify that the Committee may review recommendations for Shire of Broome grant funding prior to recommendations being put to Council for consideration.

 

Councillors on this Committee prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Johnston (Chairperson); and

·    Cr Tracey (Deputy Chairperson);

·    with Cr Male and Cr Mitchell as Deputies.

 

Local Emergency Management Committee

 

Agency and Organisation representatives have been updated to reflect machinery of government changes and staffing changes in both Commonwealth and State government agencies.  Community representatives have also been updated.

 

Councillor representation on this Committee prior to 21 October 2017 was:

 

·    Cr Mitchell (Chairperson)

 

PART 2 – COUNCIL WORKING GROUPS

 

Community Safety Working Group

 

It is proposed that this Working Group be discontinued due to limited attendance at the meetings. 

 

Instead, it is proposed that implementation of the Community Safety Plan would be more effectively monitored through regular meetings between officers and key stakeholders. Community engagement would be undertaken on a per project basis, in line with the Shire’s Community Engagement Framework.

 

Councillors on this Working Group prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Fairborn;

·    with Cr Fryer as Deputy.

 

Community Sponsorship Assessment Working Group

 

It is proposed to update the Terms of Reference to allow the Working Group to set annual priorities for the distribution of ad-hoc sponsorship with approvals delegated to the Chief Executive Officer.

 

The larger community sponsorship program will continue to be overseen by the working group via an annual application and approval process. This process is intended to streamline the approvals process for the benefit of the community.

 

Councillors on this Working Group prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Male;

·    Cr Mitchell;

·    Cr Tracey;

·    Cr Fryer; and

·    Cr Rudeforth,

·    with Cr Johnston, Cr Croft and Cr Matsumoto as Deputies.

 

Chinatown Stakeholder and Community Reference Group

 

It is noted that only minor changes have been made to the Terms of Reference.

 

Councillors on this Reference Group prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Johnston;

·    with Cr Tracey as Deputy.

 

Youth Advisory Council

 

The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is a valuable forum to empower, engage and develop youth.  It is proposed that the YAC continue, but not as a formal committee of Council. Instead a set of Guiding Principles have been drafted to replace the Terms of Reference (see Attachment 7), which would be finalised in consultations with the YAC.

 

As the group is proposed to continue in this manner, Council is not required to nominate a representative.  Officers will continue to facilitate the continued development and mentoring for the group.

 

Councillors on the Advisory Council prior to 21 October 2017 were:

 

·    Cr Fairborn;

·    with Cr Fryer as Deputy.

 

PART 3 - COUNCIL REPRESENTATION ON EXTERNAL COMMITTEES AND OTHER APPOINTMENTS

 

Listed below are the external committees and other appointments to which Council currently provide representation.  The names of Councillors who represented Council prior to 21 October 2017 are also provided.

 

Council are requested to consider nominations for those appointments where previous Councillor representatives have retired or have been re-elected following the Ordinary Local Government Election held 21 October 2017.  It is proposed that those Councillors whose term does not expire until 2019 remain as representatives.

(see Attachments 5 and 6)

The Broome LCDC and the Broome Coastal LCDC were statutory committees established under Sections 22 and 23 of the Soil and Land Conservation Act 1945

The Broome LCDC was established in July 1995. The purpose of the committee was to manage activities in the Broome Land Conservation District, an area proclaimed by the Commissioner, in the principal order published in the Government Gazette of 22 June 1990.

Members of the Broome LCDC were appointed for a 3 year term under the ‘Constitution Order’ (means the Soil and Land Conservation (Broome Land Conservation District) Order 1990).  Cr C Mitchell was nominated by the Shire of Broome.  The Broome LCDC ceased to exist on 13 July 1998.

The Broome Coastal LCDC was established in July 1993. The purpose of the committee was to manage activities in the Broome Coastal Land Conservation District, an area proclaimed by the Governor, in the principal order published in the Government Gazette of 30 July 1993.

Members of the Broome Coastal LCDC were appointed under the Soil and Land Conservation (Broome Coastal Land Conservation District) Order 1993 for a term expiring on 30 September 2003.  Leanne Cooper and Natalie Katona both staff members at that time, were appointed members of the Committee on the nomination of the Shire of Broome. The Broome Coastal LCDC ceased to exist at the expiry of Committee members term.

This report recommends that Council support the winding up of the Broome LCDC and the Broome Coastal LCDC.

RISK

 

Previous representation on Council Committee and Working Groups ceased on the election date, 21 October 2017 and as such Council are requested to consider nominations for representation on Committees and Working Groups.  In addition, Council are requested to consider nominations for representation on external Committees and other appointments for those Councillor representatives who either retired or were re-elected.

 

We recommend that Council review the Terms of Reference and membership of its Committees and Working Groups and representation on external Committees and other appointments as early as possible to ensure that Council has continued support to effectively discharge its functions and responsibilities, and to meet legislative requirements.
