APPLICANT: Harley Dykstra Pty Ltd on behalf of Joseph Peter Graham ATTACHMENTS: Planning Report and Subdivision Application DATE OF REPORT: 27th November 2018 AUTHOR: Manager Planning and Development DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST: Nil SUMMARY This report recommends that a subdivision application submitted to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) by Harley Dykstra Pty Ltd on behalf of Mr Joseph Peter Graham (Landowner) and referred to the Shire for review and comment be conditionally supported by Council. BACKGROUND Harley Dykstra Pty Ltd consultancy on behalf of the current landowner, has submitted a subdivision application to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) seeking approval to undertake a boundary realignment of subject lots 23936 & 26019 on DP 204001 and subject lots 27519 & 27637 on DP 206862 for the purpose of lot rationalisation. The proposal is for the existing four lots to be modified with no additional lots being created. All four (4) existing subject lots are currently zoned ‘Rural’ under the Shire’s Local Planning Scheme No.1. The existing Lots 23936 & 26019 on the eastern portion of the subject site have been largely cleared for broad hectare farming, with Lot 23936 also accommodating an existing residential dwelling and associated sheds. Existing Lots 27637 & 27519 on the western portion of the subject site have been only partially cleared and predominately comprise remnant and regrowth vegetation. The proposed subdivision (boundary realignment) as illustrated in the attached Plan will result the realignment of the existing four (4) Lots to create four (4) new lot boundaries which respond to the existing vegetation lines and allow for the majority of the cleared functioning farmland to be maintained on the one title. The following changes to the existing lot boundaries are summarized in the table below:

Lot Particulars Existing Land Area (Approx.)

Proposed Land Area (Approx.)

Existing Lot 23936 325.5 ha -




Proposed Lot A (south-west section of existing Lot 27519 with access from Notting – Karlgarin Road and Government Dam Road)

- 101.7 ha

Proposed Lot B (north section of existing Lot 27519 merged with all of existing Lot 27637 with access from Bendering Road East and Government Dam Road)

- 405.9 ha

Proposed Lot C (western section of existing Lot 27519 with access from Notting – Karlgarin Road and Government Dam Road)

- 325.6 ha

Proposed Lot D (consolidation of existing Lot 26019, existing Lot 23936 & eastern section of former Lot 27519 with access from Notting-Karlgarin Road, Karlgarin Hill Road North and Bendering Road East.)

- 984.3 ha

COMMENT In considering the application Council is required to have due regard to relevant policies and provisions including the Shire’s Local Planning Scheme No.1; the WAPC Development Control Policy No.3.4 – Subdivision of Rural Land; the WAPC Development Control Policy No. 1.1 - Subdivision of Land – General Principles; and State Planning Policy 3.7 – Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas. Any conditions imposed by the Local Government are to be consistent with the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Model Subdivision Conditions Schedule (October 2017). Shire of Kondinin Town Planning Scheme No.1 The subject Lots 23936 & 26019 on DP 204001 and Lots 27519 & 27637 on DP 206862 bounded by Notting-Karlgarin Road, Government Dam Road, Bendering Road East and Karlgarin Hill Road North, Karlgarin are classified ‘Rural’ zone under the Shire of Kondinin’s current operative Local Planning Scheme No.1 (TPS No.1). In support of the proposed subdivision, Clause 16 (c) (ii) of the LPS No.1 notes that ’16 (c) Having regard to the prime agricultural importance of land in the Rural zone the local government will only support further subdivision of existing lots where … (ii) the lots are for farm adjustment and the erection of dwellings is restricted.’ It is considered that the proposed boundary realignment comprising the four (4) subject lots will necessitate farm adjustment to improve the functionality of the subject lots. WAPC Development Control Policy No. 3.4 – ‘Subdivision of Rural Land’ The Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC’s) Development Control Policy No. 3.4 provides guidance on those matters to be considered by the Commission when determining applications for the subdivision of rural land throughout Western Australia. Section 6.3 of the Policy relates to boundary realignment. The Policy allows for multiple lots in one ownership to be rationalised in order to achieve better land management or create access to landlocked lots. The proposed boundary realignment meets the requirements of the Policy in that:

No additional lots are proposed to be created;

The new boundaries are logical, respond to current land use and improve land management;

No new roads are proposed to be created and the property does not front any State governed roads

State Planning Policy 3.7 – Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas As shown in the extract of the Map of Bush Prone Areas below, all four (4) lots within the subject site are classified as being in Bush Fire Prone Areas. Notwithstanding this, Planning Bulletin 111/2016 relating to Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas states that State Planning 3.7 applies to applications for subdivision except for amalgamations or boundary realignments. Since this proposed boundary realignment will not result in an increased bushfire risk, a detailed Bushfire Attack Level Assessment is not required at this stage. However any potential future development on the site will require appropriate assessment at that time.


DECEMBER, 2018

CONCLUSION Based on the assessment outlined above the proposed subdivision to undertake a boundary realignment of subject lots 23936 & 26019 on DP 204001 and subject lots 27519 & 27637 on DP 206862 for the purpose of lot rationalisation should be supported for the following reasons: i) Consistent with the provisions relating to subdivision on ‘Rural’ zone in the Shire of Kondinin’s current

operative Local Planning Scheme No.1; ii) Consistent with the criteria contained in the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Development

Control Policy No. 3.4 - Subdivision of Rural Land in relation to circumstances of boundary realignment iii) Consistent with the principles of the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Development Control

Policy No. 1.1 – Subdivision of Land – General Principles; and iv) Consistent with the principles of the Western Australian Planning Commission’s State Planning Policy

No. 2.5 relating to Land Use Planning in Rural Areas.

As such it is recommended that Council advise the Western Australian Planning Commission that it conditionally supports the proposed subdivision. Statutory Environment

9.2.3 Amendment to 2018/2019 Fees and Charges (Wave Rock Entry Fees)

SUBJECT: Amendment to 2018/2019 Fees and Charges (Wave Rock Entry Fees) LOCATION: Wave Rock Road, Hyden ATTACHMENTS: Nil DATE OF REPORT: 13th December 2018 AUTHOR: Manager of Planning and Development DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST: Nil SUMMARY: This report proposes to amend the current 2018/2019 Schedule of Fees and Charges relating to entry to Wave Rock to simplify the current situation. BACKGROUND The current 2018/2019 Schedule of Fees and Charges were adopted by Council at its Ordinary Meeting on the 16th May 2018 and have 20 different scenarios for payment for entry to Wave Rock, which is considered excessive for what is actually gained financially from all these scenarios and confusing for tourists operating the ticket machine. The data collected from the ticket machine over the last nine (9) months indicates that over 90% of visitors to Wave Rock pay the $12.00 per vehicle. More specifically, using September 2018 as a snapshot 82.3% of the 1,129 tickets purchased where for a Car. 11.3% where for a Car +1 Child which is skewed as it is the first option on the Ticket Machine. Motorcycle was 1%. Money not collected in this month if all other ticket types were “just a $12 car” would have been $319 out of $14,081. This $319 dollar difference in one of the busiest times of the year has been reported by the Wave Rock Caravan Park as creating difficulties for international tourists and the elderly due to the number of options on the ticket machine. The graph below taken from the ticket machine data illustrates this use pattern.


DECEMBER, 2018

With the new Wave Rock signs installed at Wave Rock earlier in the week the Wave Rock Caravan Park has advised that having on the sign relating to both car entry, motor cycle entry and the per person entry is confusing for tourists who when the ticket machine is not working are looking to pay just the $5.00 per person even when they are in a vehicle. The former sign only had the information about the $12 per vehicle and therefore the per-person fees of $5.00 per adult and $3.00 per child were only paid by tour bus companies either directly to the kiosk or are invoiced by the Shire of Kondinin. The Wave Rock Car Park operates largely as any other unmanned fee paying car park in that charges are made per vehicle or motor cycle and not per person, as there is no way of monitoring how many people are in a vehicle unless the Shire’s Ranger happens to be there when the vehicle arrives and counts the number of people. The limiting of options also means the machine is easier to operate, even with reduced visibility due to glare. This issue has also been investigated by the Shire’s Administration and Cale/Parkonsult have recommended to not hang anything over the screen or machine as it is an eye level hazard. The Machine only receives direct sunlight in the mornings of the winter months and a shade sail or cover would be ineffective. In response to the information above, it is proposed that the current 2018/2019 Schedule of Fees and Charges are amended as shown in strike-thru and underline below. Proposed Amendments to Fees and Charges 2018/2019 - Wave Rock Entry Fees

Adult entry $5.00

Child entry - 2 - 16 yrs $3.00

Car Entry (up to 4 persons in car) $12.00 $15.00

Car plus 1 adult $17.00

Car plus 1 child $15.00

Car plus 1 child & 1 adult $20.00

Car plus 1 child & 2 adults $25.00

Car plus 1 child & 3 Adults $30.00

Car plus 2 adults $22.00

Car plus 2 children $18.00

Car plus 2 children & 1 adult $23.00

Car plus 2 children & 2 adults $28.00



Car plus 3 children & 1 adult $26.00





Motorcycle $7.00

Conclusion Based on the information detailed in this report, it is recommended that Council support the Officer’s Recommendation to amend the current 2018/2019 Schedule of Fees and Charges by increasing the per vehicle per from $12.00 to $15.00 with no maximum of passengers, deleting reference to all the other scenarios with additional passengers, leave the motorcycle at $7.00 and leave the per person at $5.00 per adult and $3.00 per child but remove this from the ticket machine signage as it will only apply to payments made from tourism operators through the Wave Rock Caravan Park or invoiced from the Shire of Kondinin.

Construction We still have a small crew at Lake Grace on the Pingrup Newdegate road. This crew is made up of Warren Sargeantson on the Grader, Joe Eades on the roller and George Boyce on the water cart. Council’s trucks are presently with Lendlease on the York Merredin Hwy. Both crews are expected to finish the week ending the 14th of December. I have attached times and cost for Council’s information in relation to private works. After long negations with Main Roads WA they have agreed to upgrade Graham Street from the Hospital to the Hyden turn off. This includes drainage upgrades, profiling to 40mm depth, Asphalt overlay to 8m wide in the lane paths, two coat seal in the parking areas and line marking. This will work in well given the upgrades Council will be doing to its own town network with respect to drainage. The Shire of Kondinin is responsible for the removal of the nibs, replacement of the Kerb and installing of the drainage, however we will be charging Lendlease for these works, which will be in the vicinity of $100,000. I am hoping to have all the nibs removed prior to Xmas as it is anticipated the asphalt works will commence around the 20th of January 2019. There has been no change to the works schedule for the rest of the financial year.

9.3.3 Drainage Construction

SUBJECT: Drainage / Road Construction ATTACHMENTS: Quantities and Civil Design DATE OF REPORT: 12th December 2018 AUTHOR: MOW DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST: Nil SUMMARY Last Financial year Council started to undertake a program to upgrade the drainage and mitigate the issues of pooled water and deteriorating road condition within the Kondinin Townsite. In the 18/19 Budget Council successfully borrowed $1.7m to upgrade the worst of the drainage and roads in the towns of Kondinin and Hyden. Prior to the application of the $1.7m we did not have designs for stage 2 Kondinin and Stage 1 Hyden to achieve accurate costs, so assumptions were made at the time of this application. The original scope of the project was to start on the worst of Kondinin which we have the design of for Stage 1 and the remainder of the project was the upgrade of the drainage and road in McPherson Street. If Council were to stick to that original plan Council would be able to meet the original estimation of $1.7 with a little money to spare for Centenary upgrades in Hyden or any other options it may wish to choose. After now receiving the final design for Stage 2 Kondinin and Stage 1 for Hyden. Hyden’s design has dramatically changed the costs for the total project cost due to the extra drainage and construction cost outside of McPherson Street which now includes Naughton St at both ends as well as Lynch and Clayton Streets. I have attached costs for council to view for each project separately, and as Council will see I have costed everything with asphalt. By doing this it will bring the total project to around $1.98m which is a little over the $1.7 borrowed. We can bring these costs down substantially by both reducing the square metres of asphalt used and doing the balance in your normal two coat chip seals by doing this the project would come in under budget. It is felt that Council would miss a great opportunity to upgrade both Kondinin and Hyden that would last for generations to come for the sake of approximately $220,000 - $250,000. It should also be remembered if this whole project was opened up to a commercial operator in its entirety then Council would be looking at a minimum of an extra million dollars at least. I think you would all agree this would change both townsites immensely. Obviously if Council wish to proceed along these lines Council will need to identify the extra funding required. In my opinion the best way to get the best result is to complete all drainage and construction works in Kondinin and Hyden in the 18/19 financial year with the exception of the asphalt works in Hyden. By doing this it will give Council an exact cost and if any is left over of the $1.7m this can be bought forward to the 19/20 financial year and then council will have an accurate cost for budget purposes. The other reason is we will be getting into the cooler months for the laying of the asphalt. It will also help in the planning to implement the revitalisation plan for Hyden. This does not include the construction of the Carpark at the swimming pool in Hyden, even though we have the design for it. There is other options open to Council, however I’m basing my opinion purely in the best interest of road building given the time frame we have to work within.

9.4 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT

9.4.1 Container Deposit Scheme

Applicant: Shire of Kondinin Author: CEO – Mia Dohnt Date: 5th December 2018 Disclosure of Interest: Nil SUMMARY/COMMENT The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) have released a draft Customer Service Standard for the Container Deposit Scheme for comment. Comments have closed prior to the December Ordinary Meeting of Council. A copy of the draft report has been included with your agenda for your reference. This document includes the draft number and approximate location of the refund points, both permanent and flexible, for the Scheme in Western Australia. There has been no permanent or flexible site named within the Shire of Kondinin. WALGA is making a comprehensive Submission on the draft Standard highlighting a range of issues relating to customer interaction with the Scheme and ensuring equitable access for all Western Australian’s. The draft Customer Service Standard only includes flexible refund points for 4 locations within the Great Eastern Country Zone (Shires of Bruce Rock, Cunderdin, Kellerberrin and Merredin), the other 12 Local Governments do not have a refund point allocated. No permanent refund points are located in the zone. The “flexible” refund points are currently defined as: Flexible refund points are intended to meet the requirements of smaller or fluctuating populations and could be provided on a part time, seasonal, mobile, or event based (pop-up) basis. The draft Standard DWER does not included any reference to minimum opening hours / days for the permanent or flexible points. For the Zone to ensure equitable access for all residents to the Scheme it is suggested that all Local Governments be guaranteed, as a minimum, one flexible refund point which is open 16 hours each two week period, including at least 8 hours at weekends (this is the same as the NSW Container Deposit Scheme). There would be nothing to prevent the refund points being open additional hours to improve community access and convenience. These refund points provide potential opportunities for Local Government to co-locate refund points at landfills or transfer stations, communities groups or charities and for local businesses. At the Great Eastern Country Zone Meeting held by teleconference on 29th November 2018 the following resolution was passed; RESOLUTION Moved: Cr Kellie Mortimore Seconded: President Eileen O’Connell


DECEMBER, 2018

That the Great Eastern Country Zone requests that: 1. All Local Governments be guaranteed, as a minimum, one flexible refund point in their area. 2. A flexible access point should be defined as a refund point which, as a minimum, is open 16 hours each two week period, including at least 8 hours at weekends 3. The State Government provide appropriate funding for the refund points. CARRIED At the Central Country Zone Meeting the issue of CDS Service Standards was considered and it was resolved as follows: RESOLUTION: Moved: Mr Fardon Seconded: Cr West

1. That the Central Country Zone make a submission to the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation in relation to the draft Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) Customer Service Standards pointing out the following concerns:

lack of consideration of district/Shire population – Central Country Zone is of the view that within the Zone the minimum requirement in respect to refund point population thresholds should be the district population and not town population;

consideration of distance - the service standards of outer regional areas to provide a collection point within 100kms and travelling two hours to access a collection point is too great and will discourage participation in the CDS; and

lack of local refund points reducing impacting on use of CDS - the lack of local collection points could significantly reduce the positive impacts of the CDS in the Central Country Zone.

2. That a representative of the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation with knowledge of the Container Deposit Scheme and proposed Customer Service Standards be invited to attend the next meeting of the Zone.

Monday the 3rd December the CEO attended a meeting in Wickepin regarding the Wheatbelt South Aged Housing Alliance and the project to build aged units regionally. As you will be aware the application for BBRF and state funding was not approved on the last application but the alliance was given $20,000 to prepare a new business case with an indication that the alliance may receive approximately $1.6m from the next round. Shire of Wickepin as the lead Shire and by agreement of the alliance has engaged Tammy King from Grants Empire to prepare the business case on our behalf. With Narrogin, Wandering and Kulin pulling out of the alliance, the discussions at Monday’s meeting discussed the rewrite of the business case based on two options.

The following costings per unit have been calculated based on the revised quotes received to update the business case. For 14 units, the total project cost is $5,098,300. Based on the 65/35 split, $3.36million will be sought through the Business Case and the Shire’s will need to confirm the following commitment:

Applicant: Shire of Kondinin Author: CEO – Mia Dohnt Date: 31st October 2018 Disclosure of Interest: Nil SUMMARY/COMMENT There has been discussion between the Hyden Progress Association (HPA), Hyden Community Resource Centre (HCRC) and the Shire about the planning and development of a proposed Visitor Centre on the vacant land situated at 4 McPherson Street, Hyden and 36 Marshall Street, Hyden which has recently been purchased by HPA. During preliminary discussions between HCRC, HPA and the Shire it has been suggested by HPA that the above lots would be transferred to the Shire of Kondinin as HPA’s contribution to a proposed development for a visitor centre. Legal advice received is that the lots cannot be transferred until such time as HPA has paid for them in full or a legal agreement was drawn up and a caveat put on the land to prevent any future sale of the land. The proposed time line for the blocks to be fully paid for is 5 years. To progress with any potential project on these blocks it is suggested that Council endorse the project in principal, authorise administration to have a legal agreement prepared and have caveats put on the subject land. To enable any further progression it is proposed that Council authorise the administration to continue working with a working group made up of representatives from the Hyden Community to ascertain a scope of works for any proposed project.
