DISTRICT COUNCIL OF LOWER EYRE PENINSULA AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT – 19 APRIL 2013

AM/34/13 - AIRPORT USAGE The passenger numbers for February have now been received and total passengers carried for the month were 3% down on February 2012. The two graphs below show the passenger numbers for the past 12 months compared to the previous 12 months and the percentage growth month on month for the past 12 months compared to the previous 12 months:

AM/35/13 – AIRPORT CAFÉ LEASE Council resolved at the March Council meeting that the CEO be delegated authority to complete negotiation of an agreement to lease and a lease for the Port Lincoln Airport Café with the preferred Lessee. This negotiation has now been concluded and draft documents have been prepared and require signing and sealing by Council under a resolution. RECOMMENDATION AM “That the Mayor and Chief Executive Officer sign and seal the ‘Agreement for Lease’ and ‘Memorandum of Lease’ with the preferred Lessee of the Port Lincoln Airport Café”. AM/36/13 – CAR PARK PROJECT Work on the car park is now well under way with the stormwater drainage commenced and earthworks required to bring the site up to the correct level almost complete. The next stage will be the pavement material in conjunction with kerbing works. RECOMMENDATION AM “Noted.” AM/37/13 – APRON TAXIWAY PROJECT Work has commenced on site for this project with the apron and portion of the taxiway having been excavated to the required depth and proof rolled. The proof rolling has identified a small area on the taxiway (approx 200m2) where unstable conditions were encountered which will require some additional excavation and backfill with a cement treated rubble. Apart from this section the other sub-grade conditions encountered thus far have been good. One of the two layers of select fill has been placed on the apron extension area and material has been delivered to site for this work to continue along the new taxiway. A trial section of the concrete required under the pavement in the vicinity of the main runway has now been poured in preparation for the sections to be poured during night works while the airport is closed. The night works are scheduled to commence on 13 April and it is hoped that they can be completed in five nights. Progress against the program will be closely monitored as any slippage will require arrangements for an extension to the period when the airport is closed at night. This closure is designed not to impact on the scheduled passenger operations with the main impact being on the freight service that delivers the newspapers each night and other itinerant night time users.

FN/31/13 – COUNCIL CASH ADVANCE DEBENTURE The issue of managing Councils cash flow is now a critical aspect of financial management due to the Airport reserves being used to fund the upgrade currently being completed. There are times when Council may be undertaking large construction projects with loan borrowings not being taken until project completion (Cummins Office), resulting in the general operating funds becoming quite low. The use of a Cash Advance Debenture will provide Council with the security that all payments can be met in a timely manner until loan borrowings, rate income etc become available and the debenture can then be repaid. RECOMMENDATION ACC “That Council open a Cash Advance Debenture facility with an available limit of $1 million from the LGFA to be used for general operating funds; and That the Chief Executive Officer and Mayor sign and seal the Cash Advance Debenture loan documents as required.” FN/32/13 - ISSUE TRACKING SPREADSHEET A register of current Finance Issues has been folioed for the information of Councillors.

W170 WORKS CORRESPONDENCE (1) Native Vegetation Clearance Application - Andrew

Correspondence has been received from the Native Vegetation Council (NVC) seeking Council comment regarding an application from DB & JE Andrew to clear vegetation on their property in the Hundred of Warrow. Council has no comment to make on the application. RECOMMENDATION AWM “Noted.”

(2) North Shields Progress Association – Extension of 60kph Speed Zone

Correspondence has been received from the North Shields Progress Association advising that people who attended the recent NSPA meeting believe that the 60km speed zone should be extended to run between the Caravan Shop and south of the Cemetery. (REFER FOLIO: WK13.04.01) The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) conceded the installation of a 60kph zone in late 2012. The location of the reduced speed zone coincides with the section of Highway where there is direct property access to the road and in the vicinity of cemetery access as well as Murray Drive. A request to lower the speed limit to the existing 80kph zone to 60kph where the property access is via a parallel street (Dorward Street) is highly unlikely to be successful and it would be extremely difficult for Council staff to mount a sound technical basis for the request – sight lines for the intersections are equal to or greater than required standards and there is no direct residential property access within this section. This does not preclude the Council agreeing to approach DPTI, but this should be seen as supporting the lower speed limit on behalf of the local community and not on technical grounds.

cont’d:

There are several options for Council’s consideration and a number of alternate recommendations are provided: a) That the North Shields Progress Association be advised that whilst the

Council is appreciative of the desire for an extension to the new 60kph speed zone it can not justify a further approach to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure in view of the property access and sight line availability within the existing 80kph zone.

b) That Council seeks the review of the current 80kph speed zone within the section of Lincoln Highway at North Shields by the Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure in line with the comments raised by the North Shields Progress Association.

RECOMMENDATION DWI “That the North Shields Progress Association be advised that whilst the Council is appreciative of the desire for an extension to the new 60kph speed zone it can not justify a further approach to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure in view of the limited property access and sight line availability within the existing 80kph zone.”

W170 WORKS CORRESPONDENCE cont’d

(8) Draft Coffin Bay Vegetation Management Plan – Summary of Latest Submission Period (February/March 2013) cont’d In general terms the prevailing issues in respect of actions recommended within the Plan are considered to be:

Closure of existing access points,

The height and location of revegetation plantings,

The removal of dead and fallen timber,

The relationship between the revegetation and ongoing management of the vegetation and the CFS Bushfire Risk Assessment report/recommendations.

The Vegetation Management Plan clearly has drawn out diverse views on the most appropriate means of managing the area of foreshore reserve between the boat ramp and Crinolin Point.

Based on the differences of opinion it will be difficult for Council to achieve community consensus, and therefore the key aspects that Council could consider in the implementation of the Plan for the 2013-2014 financial year are listed as follows:

Allow for the existing car and pedestrian access points to remain except where: -

o Sight distance can not be reasonably achieved; or o Rationalisation of existing access points which are in close proximity

to each other will either reduce erosion or assist in management of invasive weeds and will not unduly impact on existing views,

Install appropriate barriers to define the current footprint of the access points to prevent further impact on abutting vegetation,

Undertake erosion control where practical to stabilise footways adjoining car park access points,

Revegetation and removal of dead or fallen timber to be deferred until the Bushfire Risk Assessment report has been undertaken and assessed by Council,

As and when revegetation is agreed by Council, plantings will be selected to restore the understorey mindful of preserving sea views which prevailed at April 2013.

The Bushfire Risk Assessment is not expected to be received for some months, if not until 2014, based on comments from the CFS. Unless Council was to allocate the resources in-house to undertake the work it will remain a point of contention in respect to revegetation and if dead and fallen timber is to be removed or left in situ.

DISTRICT COUNCIL OF LOWER EYRE PENINSULA

WORKS REPORT – 19 APRIL 2013 WM/27/13 – COFFIN BAY – PUBLIC RUBBISH BINS OVER EASTER PERIOD The Waste Transfer Station in Cummins was closed on Easter Sunday and the Council’s Waste Transfer Station Operator’s time was redirected to monitor the public bins in Coffin Bay over the Easter Weekend. An extra public bin collection on Sunday was also arranged with Council’s Garbage Collection Contractor. In addition to the Sunday collection, the Waste Transfer Station Operator emptied 17 public bins before the Sunday pickup. The main issues observed are not unknown and include waste from households and campers. Household garbage from one public bin has been traced to an address in Coffin Bay and a letter of warning will be sent to this address. The other area of concern is the waste generated at the town jetty that seems to be a local dumping ground and could well be attracting rubbish from harbour activities. Coffin Bay public bins appear to be used as a dump off point for campers from the Coffin Bay National Park and this will be investigated along with the issue with waste generated from harbour activities. RECOMMENDATION AWM “Noted.” WM/28/13 – CHARLTON GULLY ROAD - BENDS At the February Council meeting it was resolved that Council could not pursue the realignment of the sharp Charlton Gully Road bend north of Charlton. Referring to the Council Works Committee meeting of April 2008, there was another Charlton Gully Road bend earmarked for realignment through land acquisition and this was at the Bald Hill Road intersection. A land division has recently been lodged at this location and there might be an opportunity to explore whether the owner would be willing to negotiate with Council towards allowing Council to acquire land for the road bend realignment, using the current budget previously allocated to the bend north of Charlton. RECOMMENDATION AWM “That the Works Manager pursue the possibility of land acquisition to facilitate the realignment of Charlton Gully Road at the Bald Hill Road intersection with the developer of Development 932/D004/13.”

(REFER FOLIO: DMRP13.04.02) The LEPBMC advises that under the current Interim LEP Bushfire Management Area Plan, a 10-15 metre wide fire break/access track will be maintained between the National Park entrance and the golf course and that it may not be that difficult to upgrade the existing track to an all weather standard. The LEPBMC also advise that the Lower Eyre Peninsula is a priority area for hazard and risk assessment however due to resourcing there is no guarantee when the process will be completed.

Invitation of offers being made to both adjoining landowner for the purchase of the portion of land under consideration for closure;

The interested party(ies) agreeing to meet the cost of a Council appointed land valuer to determine the fair market value of the land; and

The Council negotiating and entering into a suitable preliminary agreement under the Roads (Opening and Closing) Act 1991, with such negotiations to provide for the applicant to meet all costs associated with the road closure process and subsequent land transfer.

Additional correspondence has now been received from B and P Williams requesting Council withdraw the offer to close that part of the road reserve adjacent to Lot 1 Dolphin Drive, Mount Dutton Bay. B and P Williams have also sought legal advice and sent a letter to neighbour J Ross who has also shown interest in purchasing the land.

Since Council resolved the original motion in December there have been two parties who each would like to purchase the land; at this stage the valuation of the reserve has not been completed. Staff consider that the intent to sell the land remains valid but is now complicated by potentially conflicting interests. The need to retain the road reserve for future community benefit is minimal however the present circumstances may place the Council in an unfair position with minimal but limited scope for legal action should either party believe they have suffered a loss of property access or amenity.

C622 MOTIONS WITH NOTICE cont’d: 1. Deputy Mayor Pedler – Proposed Sale of Portion of Road Reserve

abutting Lot 1, Deposited Plan 37476, Dolphin Drive, Mount Dutton Bay cont’d: An option for Council to consider, with a timeline to consider the long term needs of the Mount Dutton Bay community is the use of a nominated maximum term authorisation with the current owners of Lot 1 Dolphin Drive whereby the adjoining residential property would continue to enjoy the use of the portion of road reserve abutting their north-eastern boundary, and any exiting improvements to be removed at the expiration of the authorisation. Under the provisions of the Local Government Act the maximum term of authorisation is 42 years, however in this instance the suggested approach is to set a period of 7 years. The lease would automatically expire at the end of the designated period, or earlier should Lot 1 Dolphin Drive change ownership.

RECOMMENDATION DWI

1. “That B & P Williams be invited to seek authorisation under

Section 221 (2) (b) of the Local Government Act 1999 to erect or install a structure in, on, across, under or over portion of Lot 1, Deposited Plan 37476, Mount Dutton Bay, inclusive of the following conditions:

a. Maximum term – 7 years; b. Early termination provision – invoked by change of

ownership of Lot 1 Dolphin Drive; c. Removal of all improvements – at the termination of the

lease (either at expiration or early termination; d. Bond – in lieu of lease payments a bond of $1500 to be

paid at the commencement of the lease and to be released at the expiration or early termination of the lease subject to the removal of all improvements,

e. Preserving the right of access to Lot 50, Deposited Plan 36491 for the period of the lease.”

2. “That in the event that B & P Williams accept the invitation of

authorised use under Section 221 (2) (b) that Council:

Undertake public consultation on the proposal in line with Councils public consultation policy; and

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT – 19 APRIL 2013

CEO/39/13 – LGA AWARENESS PROGRAM The LGA has commenced a promotional campaign aimed at increasing awareness amongst the public of the activities undertaken by Local Government. The program will include ‘You Tube Video Clips’, Television and Radio commercials (both City & Regional) and newspaper articles. I have nominated the Port Lincoln Airport upgrade project for promotion as part of this campaign. Along with the Airport Manager and myself I have invited Tony Ford (Boston Bay Wines) and Diedrie Turvey (Tourism Target Team) to be filmed as part of the promotion. Filming will take place at the airport on Thursday 11th April.

RECOMMENDATION CEO

“Noted.”

CEO/40/13 - COFFIN BAY HEALTH CLINIC Council has now issued Planning Consent to the proponents of the Coffin Bay Health Clinic over portion of Section 669, Hundred of Lake Wangary, and the prospective Lessee is also close to finalising the funding agreement with the Commonwealth Government. I am in the process of finalising a lease (seven years with two rights of renewal for seven years) which will be signed by both parties. The lease reflects terms as resolved by Council in June last year, and does not conflict with provisions of the funding agreement between the Lessee and the Commonwealth. The Terms of the funding agreement between the Commonwealth and the Lessee stipulate that the building must be used for the provision of primary and allied health care services for a period of 20 years, with repayment of proportional funding to the Commonwealth. This adds additional surety to Council that the land will be used for its designated purpose during this period.

RECOMMENDATION CEO

“That the Mayor and CEO sign and seal a memorandum of lease between

Council and Dr G.C Quigley Trading as Cummins Medical Clinic in relation

to Allotment 62 as depicted in the draft sub-division plan over Section 669,

Hundred of Lake Wangary.”

CEO/41/13 - CUMMINS LAND A confidential report has been provided to Council in relation to the future of Council owned land in Pearson Street, Cummins.

“That:

(a) Under the provisions of Section 90 (2) of the Local

Government Act 1999 an order be made that the public be

excluded from attendance at the meeting (with the exception

of ……………………………………………………..) in order to

consider in confidence agenda item C627 CEO/41/13 –

Cummins Land.

(b) This order is made on the grounds that the Council is satisfied

that pursuant to Section 90 (3) (b) (i) and (ii) of the Act, it is

reasonably foreseeable that the public disclosure or

discussion of the matter at the meeting could cause

significant damage to the interests of the Council in respect of

information the disclosure of which, could reasonably be

expected to confer a commercial advantage on a person with

whom the council is conducting, or proposing to conduct,

business, or to prejudice the commercial position of the

council; and would, on balance, be contrary to the public

interest.

(c) Accordingly on this basis, the principle that meetings of the

Council should be conducted in a place open to the public has

been out weighed by the need to keep the information or

discussion confidential.”

CEO/42/13 - REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AUSTRALIA WHYALLA AND EYRE

PENINSULA – FUNDING AND RESOURCE AGREEMENT

Council Mayor’s and CEO’s met at Wudinna on 22nd March to discuss Council funding of Regional Development Australia Whyalla & Eyre Peninsula (RDAWEP). This follows the decision of the State Government to withdraw core funding from RDA’s as of 30th June 2013. It was generally accepted by those at the meeting that the region needs an effective RDA, especially given the potential for major development in our region. RDAWEP has cash reserves of $1.2m and if Councils continue to fund the RDA at existing levels they will have a cash deficit within three years if they do not withdraw services. A decision to increase Council funding by 50% for 2013/14 plus 3% for 2014/15 & 2016 would enable RDAWEP to retain its current cash reserves going forward, while a 25% increase in funding next year, plus 2 years of 3% increases will see cash reserves eroded to approximately zero in three years (but not result in a cash deficit).

CEO/42/13 - REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AUSTRALIA WHYALLA AND EYRE

PENINSULA – FUNDING AND RESOURCE AGREEMENT cont’d:

The Wudinna meeting agreed that Council’s should consider a 25% increase in RDA funding next year, followed by two further years each with increases of 3%. This would mean DCLEP funding for RDAWEP will be $27,213 in 2013/14 compared to $21,771 in the current year. While we consider this decision it should be noted that efforts are continuing aimed at reversal of the State Government decision to withdraw core funding. In particular a report prepared by the SA Centre of Economic Studies has identified the value of services provided by RDA’s. RDAWEP has historically been operating under a funding agreement prepared by Local Government (LGA), and an alternative agreement has been provided by the State Government for consideration by Councils. It was agreed by those present at Wudinna that we should continue to use the LGA agreement. The redrafted LGA agreement deletes all reference to the State Government, where previously the State was responsible for approving Board Members and had significant power in relation to action if the RDA did not meet its obligations (in the view of the State). The redrafted agreement also provides for Association Membership as follows:

a) More than 50% of its members are persons who, in their personal capacities, are representative of the social and cultural diversity of the local community of the region and/or have a background and experience in either small business or the major industries operating in the region.

b) Less than 50% of its members have a background and experience in local

government as their main qualification for selection as members of the association.

Each Council may submit nominees who have a background and experience in local government as their main qualification for nomination as members of the association. RDAWEP has sought feedback on the agreement by 12th April, and I have advised our Councils support to continue to utilise the LGA agreement, as amended to reflect the above issues.

(REFER FOLIO CEORP:13.04.01)

RECOMMENDATION CEO

1. “That Council endorses the action of the CEO in advising RDAWEP

that DCLEP supports the continued use of the LGA developed

funding agreement as amended to reflect exclusion of reference to

the State Government and changes to Association Membership as

provided to Councillors under separate cover”
