1Our Vision 1

KERISHANNON

This past year has been an exciting and busy time for the Town of Cambridge. We have significantly increased and improved the number of places within the Town to enjoy leisure activities. We want to build a better Cambridge - one which encourages liveability, community involvement and leisure activity.

Major ProjectsThis year saw the delivery of our four major projects. Bold Park Aquatic Centre has been completely rebuilt with a new semi-enclosed 4 lane leisure pool and the expansion of the existing outdoor pool which will now be heated in summer using sustainable solar technology. In addition to swimming lessons and swim squads, the centre now offers leisure activities including a playgroup, yoga and tai chi classes.

The City of Perth Surf Lifesaving Club Building and Commercial Development at City Beach was opened in June 2016 by the Premier Mr Colin Barnett. The Town funded around $15.5 million of the cost which will be partially offset by commercial rents over time. The precinct has recently been awarded a commendation in the 2016 Australian Urban Design Awards. Three restaurants have commenced operation and are proving very popular. We are currently adding to the carpark opposite Fred Burton Reserve to cater for additional visitors during the busy summer months. The additions are due for completion in early December 2016.

The new restaurant and function centre at the Wembley Golf Course have commenced operation and have been well received by the community. The redevelopment cost $11 million, which was funded by a loan from the Endowment Lands Account. The completion of the $3.5 million Wembley Golf Course Miniature Golf and Playground, means the Wembley Golf Course is a place where people of all ages can play a round of mini golf or have a meal, while enjoying the magnificent natural surrounds of the Wembley Golf Course.

The new Wembley Sport Park Pavilion was opened in time for the commencement of the 2016/2017 season. This state of the art building will provide multi-use clubrooms for a number of local sporting associations including the Wembley Football Club, the Wembley Baseball Club and the Wembley Cricket Club. We are refurbishing the old club rooms and this should be completed by early December 2016.

Mayor’s Report

2 Town of Cambridge Annual Report 2015-2016

Other ProjectsWe are undertaking stage 2 of the Perry Lakes skate park in Floreat which will include the installation of a skate bowl and lights. It’s great to see the skate park used by people of all ages. We are currently working on the Lake Monger Activity Plan which will be progressed over the coming year in consultation with the community.

The issue of underground power has been a significant issue for the community for many years. We have committed significant reserves to this project to achieve consistency, improved reliability of supply and visual amenity in our residential streets. Our application for four State Underground Power Program projects at a projected cost of $36 million, will (if successful) see all local power lines within the Town underground. We should know by the end of December or early January 2017 if we have been successful.

We recognise Perry Lakes is important both in terms of biodiversity as well as being a barometer for groundwater levels. It is believed that replenishing Perry Lakes will have a positive effect of banking groundwater across the Town, thereby mitigating potential issues with the level of water in Lake Monger. With the drying climate, the pressure upon our groundwater cannot be underestimated. I am pleased funds have been allocated in the 2016/2017 budget to update reports regarding the most cost-effective way to revive Perry Lakes, including the use of treated waste water to raise the groundwater levels in Perry Lakes. We will also consider ways to recharge the aquifer using water from the Herdsman drain.

Planning and HousingThis year the Town’s housing diversity proposal (Town Planning Scheme Amendment 31) was rejected by Minister Faragher. This followed the Town’s request and the WAPC’s recommendation to the Minister to reject Scheme Amendment 31 as it was inconsistent with state planning policy and not supported by a Local Planning Strategy (LPS).

Scheme Amendment 31 had been worked on by the Town Planning Steering Review Committee since 2013. It relied upon an Additional Use mechanism to control the design of future development, and claimed to deliver smaller dwellings without the battle axing of blocks. The stated objective of Scheme Amendment 31 was said to be the provision of housing diversity. However, Scheme Amendment 31 had the practical effect of significantly increasing density, and would not have delivered diverse or affordable housing. The Town was already well ahead of its density targets for Directions 2031 and Scheme Amendment 31 would have irreparably changed the character of the garden suburbs of City Beach and Floreat. The community recognised that outcome and actively campaigned for and supported the refusal of Scheme Amendment 31.

We have given Minister Faragher an undertaking that we will undertake the preparation of a Local Planning Strategy. In 2010 the Town had initiated a draft Local Planning Strategy which failed to be progressed. We have now engaged external planning consultants to assist the Town with the LPS and have already commenced our first round of community engagement. The LPS should be completed and ready for submission to the WAPC by mid 2018.

Importantly, we have adopted a new approach to strategic planning within the Town, which is consistent with state planning policy and will provide more certainty for future development within the Town. The incorporation of the development controls into the Town Planning Scheme following the LPS will provide a higher degree of certainty on planning outcomes for the benefit of all residents.

We have introduced a new web portal for community engagement. We have also introduced a policy for Elected Members to disclose contact with Developers and all of our statutory registers are now shown on the Town’s website for improved transparency. While we still have more work to do improving governance and processes within the Town, I am confident that we will provide a better, more liveable Cambridge going forward.

JASONBUCKLEYCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

The Town of Cambridge has been extremely active over the last year and we have seen the delivery of two major projects and two other projects well under construction for completion before the end of 2016. These developments represent a significant investment in new facilities for the community that have been many years in the planning.

The new Bold Park Aquatic centre opened its doors to the public in November 2015. The new development cost $12.5 million and has received many positive comments from the public. The building works for the City Beach development was completed in January 2016 allowing tenants to undertake their fit-outs. Odyssea commenced trading in late January 2016 with Rise Pizzeria and Hamptons commencing trade shortly after the end of the financial year. The City of Perth Surf Life Saving Club will have its first full season in the new premises for the summer of 2016/2017. The completion of the new facilities at City Beach was marked by an official opening by Mayor Keri Shannon and Premier Colin Barnett on 17 June 2016.

Architectural design awards have been received for both projects.

Significant progress was made on other major projects as follows:

• Wembley Golf Course Hospitality Development ($11 million - under construction)

• Wembley Golf Course miniature golf and playground ($3.5 million - under construction)

• Wembley Sports Park Pavilion ($3 million - under construction)

• Nursery site land development - Parkside Walk, Jolimont - subdivision approved for up to 350 dwellings.

• Area G land development - St John’s Wood Mt Claremont - subdivision approved for 49 lots, construction works completed and sales program commenced.

• Perry Lakes Stadium Redevelopment, Floreat - three large apartment sites with up to 292 dwellings were transferred by the State Government to the Town in July 2015 valued at $27 million excluding GST;. It is expected the Town will receive the balance of funds owed by the State Government of $23 million before the end of 2016 as provided in the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Act 2005. Two of the sites transferred to the Town have been sold for $19.5 million excluding GST with settlement due in January 2017

We have again been successful with our waste management efforts under the Maximum Recovery program with 48% of kerbside waste diverted from landfill. Waste in the recycling bin accounted for 30% and the green bin 18%. Of the waste sent to Mindarie Regional Council a proportion of all members waste is processed and composted that increases the Town’s diversion efforts.

The Town has continued to deliver outstanding services to the community in accordance with the Community Strategic Plan details of which are outlined in this report.

The Town is performing strongly from an operating perspective and with the materialisation of wealth assets, in the short to medium term, the Town will be in an excellent financial position in the future. The following charts demonstrate the financial trend over the last few years. It is noted that the operating result was slightly negative at $600,000 and this was due to unbudgeted expenditure of $600,000 for the design of underground power funded from reserves and an extra $800,000 in depreciation expense. The Town currently has $340 million in net assets and this will increase soon as the proceeds from major land developments are received over the next few years.

Elections were held in October 2015 which resulted in the election of three new elected members being Mayor Keri Shannon, Cr Jane Powell and Cr Andres Timmermanis. Cr Rod Bradley and Cr Louis Carr were re-elected to their positions on Council. I acknowledge the contributions made by former elected members Mayor Simon Withers (8 years), Deputy Mayor, Cr Alan Langer (16 years) and Cr Colin Walker (4 years).

I would like to thank the staff for their positive and enthusiastic approach over the last twelve months. I also express my appreciation for their continued commitment and focus in delivering services to the community. I also wish to thank elected members in providing direction and their guidance and support of the administration in achieving the council’s objectives over the last twelve months.

DIRECTORPROJECTS

The Projects Directorate was established to provide the Town with capability to efficiently and effectively plan and deliver strategic initiatives beyond the Town's day to day operational programs.

Wembley Sports Park The Town is well into construction of the new Wembley Sports Park Pavilion which will be the home of Wembley Athletic Club. This project entails construction of a new hall, home change rooms and toilets, fitness room and kitchen, which will join to the existing away change rooms, toilets and kiosk. This will effectively triple the size of the building for Wembley Athletic Club as well as significantly improve spectator seating facilities. The first stage has reached completion and it is anticipated that the works will be completed by late December. This $3 million project is predominantly funded by the Town of Cambridge with support from Wembley Athletic Club and the Department of Sport and Recreation.

Bold Park Aquatic The redeveloped Bold Park Aquatic was officially opened to the public in November 2015.

This $12.5 million facility provides a 10-lane 50 metre outdoor heated pool, an enclosed heated leisure pool/learn to swim pool, as well as new change rooms, car parking, playground, café and swim shop. The project received a Commendation at the 2016 WA Public Architecture Awards in recognition of the design of the buildings.

Underground PowerThe Town has submitted proposals under Round 6 of the State Underground Power Program to have about 3,300 properties within the Town converted from overhead supply to underground power.

The proposals have passed the first stage of assessment and the State is currently surveying property owners to gauge their willingness to support these proposals. If successful with its proposals, the Town will be able to set in place a project plan that sees all remaining properties in the Town of Cambridge finally converted to underground power, bringing to a close many years of progressive works and failed applications to have the project finished.

Proposals under Round 6 of the State Underground Power Program are ranked higher if (increasing the chances of being successful) the proposed contribution from local governments and/or property owners is greater than the 50% threshold set by the government.

The Town has submitted four proposals each proposing that properly owners contribute 50% of the project cost; the Town contributes 40% of the project cost. If all four proposals are successful, the total Town funding for underground power is in the order of $17 million.

Wembley Golf Course Hospitality ProjectThe much anticipated construction of the new hospitality facilities at Wembley Golf Course is nearing completion. The Town has developed a new bistro/bar area, function rooms, kiosk, change rooms and toilet facilities as well as improved car parking and landscaping within the $11 million development.

By the end of August 2016, the facilities will be open to the public. Works are also underway to develop new short game practice facilities, a miniature golf course and children's playground on the northern side of the main buildings. The extended cost of these facilities is $3.5 million. It is anticipated that these facilities will be open to the public by the end of December 2016.

Parkside Walk JolimontSubdivision works are now underway with a view to complete the works within a 12 to 18 month timeframe. Apartment sites and house lots will progressively come to the market for purchase from late 2016 onwards.

St John's Wood, Mount ClaremontThe subdivision works are complete, and at the time of this report, 75% of the housing lots have been purchased with new residents planning the construction of their new homes.

Surf Club Building and Commercial Development at City Beach The Surf Club Building and Commercial Development at City Beach was officially opened by the Mayor Keri Shannon and the Hon Colin Barnett MLA Premier of Western Australia, on 17 June 2016� Odyssea, the first of the restaurants in the precinct, was opened early in 2016 and has enjoyed significant patronage and positive feedback� The second restaurant, Rise Pizzeria, has just opened, with the final restaurant, Hamptons, to open very soon�

The surf club has taken occupancy of its new $18 million facilities and by all reports, is enjoying the benefits of this new, bespoke building�

The Town will be embarking on car parking expansion during the coming months to assist in peak periods of parking demand�

It was noted that the project received an award for Public Architecture at the 2016 WA Architecture Awards which was in recognition of the intent of the Town to develop attractive and functional facilities and our design team who took this vision into reality�

14 Town of Cambridge Annual Report 2015-2016

Greater emphasis has been placed on forward planning and dialogue with the community, in response to a range of opportunities to improve local neighbourhoods.

In this context, the Town undertook a desktop review of its Strategic Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan, ahead of a comprehensive review which will be undertaken during 2016/2017, this will involve a range of conversations with our community on important matters. To form the basis for those conversations, the Town developed a community engagement framework to guide its engagement activities. Work has also commenced on the review of the Financial Plan, Asset Management Plan, Workforce Plan and ICT Strategy, and will conclude during 2016/2017.

The Town received confirmation from the State Government that it would finalise the settlement of the Perry Lakes Estate development through a transfer of land and payment of cash. In July 2015 three group dwelling sites were transferred to the Town valued at $27.4 million. The balance of the $50 million due to the Town, i.e. 22.6 million will be paid in cash in 2016/2017. This brings more certainty to the Town's Financial Plan, which has modelled the payment from the State and the application (in part) to Underground Power and other strategic projects.

Two of the three Perry Lakes group dwelling sites were put to the market during the year and a contract was entered into for the sale of the two sites at $21.56 million.

The directorate continues to support the Town's program of Major Projects. This is an exciting time for the organisation given the magnitude of the projects, and the significance of the project deliverables, from both a community and from a commercial perspective.

These projects have required all facets of corporate services to increase its service support, from tender and contract management to commercial negotiations, business case development and financial control. Four commercial properties came on line during the year, including three café/restaurants at City Beach and a new hospitality venue at the Wembley Golf Course. With an increase in the commercial properties the Town now manages, improvements were made to the property management system to ensure its leased properties are managed effectively.

The Community Facilities Leasing Policy continues to be a firm foundation to maintain our community buildings in a satisfactory condition. During the year, $450,000 was spent on replacing the roof at the Floreat Surf Club, in addition to a number of other community building maintenance and upgrade outlays.

As part of a continual improvement program, the Town embarked on a number of risk management initiatives, including a review of its risk management framework, development of business continuity plans and progression of a number of infrastructure risk management programs, including the asbestos removal program (removing latent asbestos materials from older buildings).

Governance is an important facet of any organisation and the Town’s governance function is supported by the internal audit program. A number of system and process reviews were undertaken during the year and improvements made to manage systems and process risks and improve business efficiencies.

FinanceIn July 2015, the council adopted an operating budget of $43 million and a capital program of $39 million. At year end, the overall surplus, after allowing for works in progress was $533,000, which was transferred to the Town's Asset Management reserve.

Capital works of $31 million were undertaken, including $5.6 million on the Bold Park Aquatic Centre upgrade, $5.9 million on the City Beach Surf Clubrooms and Commercial project, $9.9 million on the Wembley Golf Course Hospitality and miniature golf project and $1.6 million on the Wembley Sports Park Pavilion plus ongoing renewal of the road, drainage and footpath infrastructure networks.

During the year, a number of major projects were progressed. Over the past few years, the Town has invested $60 million on its major projects and has provisioned a further $6 million in the 2016/2017 financial year to complete the projects.

Major Projects within the City Beach area are funded in part by the Endowment Lands Account, (the "ELA"). Opening with a balance of $17 million, a further $3.1 million was deposited into the ELA from the proceeds of land sales. Funds were then transferred for the major projects and for other smaller capital projects capital projects, totalling $20.1 million. At year end, the ELA had a balance of $0.8 million, however at least $10.5 million in land proceeds are expected to be transferred to the ELA from the sale of lots within the St Johns Wood Estate towards the end of the 2016/2017 financial year. Internal loans will also replenish the ELA over time.

During the year the Town revalued its plant and equipment assets in accordance with the revaluation timetable as stipulated in the local government accounting regulations. This had a minimal impact on the net position.

Overall, the Town's property and infrastructure assets increased during the year by $19 million. The Town expended $31 million on assets and booked depreciation, write-offs and revaluation decrements of $12 million. The Town's equity position increased by $31 million through a combination of an increase in the retained surplus and a $27.4 million contribution from State Government.

Finance Year in DetailStatement of Comprehensive Income

Operating ResultThe Statement of Comprehensive Income shows the operating result before non-operating grants, subsidies and contributions and disposal of assets. It indicates an operating deficit of $620,000 against the original operating budget deficit of $185,000, a $435,000 difference. This is largely due to the following factors:

Expenditure• The expensing of Underground Power design costs of

$593,000, approved by Council after the budget adoption. This was funded by land sale proceeds.

• An increase in depreciation expense of $802,000 due to a revaluation of infrastructure assets on 30 June 2015.

Revenue• A non-refundable deposit $1 million received during the

year with respect to the sale of lot 232, 1 Meagher Drive and lot 233, 29 Stadium Drive, Perry Lakes Estate with the balance settlement due in January 2017.

Net ResultThe Statement of Comprehensive Income shows an overall net operating result of $34.4 million compared to an expected result of $7.1 million. The variance of $27.3 million, mainly attributable to the Town receiving three apartment sites, valued at $27.4 million within the Perry Lakes Estate from the State Government as part payment of the $50 million it's owed with the completion of the Perry Lakes Redevelopment project. The remaining balance of $22.6 million will be paid in cash during the current financial year.

Total Comprehensive IncomeThe Statement of Comprehensive Income shows a total comprehensive income of $30.7 million after a change in the revaluation surplus of $3.6 million relating predominantly to the disposal of Dampier Avenue lots ($2.4 million), previously revalued in January 2014 and a change of $1 million in the valuation of the Tamala Park land developed during the year and reclassified as land held for resale.

Rate Setting StatementThe overall rate-setting surplus, which takes into account operating, capital and financing transactions, after allowing for carry forwards, was $533,000 compared to an adopted balanced budget (i.e. zero) position. The surplus resulted from considerable cost savings within the road surfacing capital works programme, with lower asphalt prices charged by contractors as oil prices fell during the year. The surplus has been transferred to the asset management reserve at year end.

The rate setting statement closing balance of $3.43 million represents carried forward operating and capital programmes either in progress or yet to commence at the end of the financial year.

Customer Services The Town's Customer Service team continues to provide the community with quality personal service focusing on friendly and timely delivery standards.

A new phone system was installed in July 2015 assisting Customer Services direct call management to exceed their targets for first contact resolution of calls.

The Customer Services team at the Administration Centre dealt with 42,160 calls during the first 11 months of the new phone system with over 92% answered at the first point of service.

During the peak months October and November (due to dog and cat registrations, planning/building enquiries and council elections) service levels were still met despite a 25% increase in average monthly calls.

The new phone system will gradually be installed across other key centres at the Town with the Library/Boulevard Centre and Bold Park Aquatic already utilising the new system.

24 Town of Cambridge Annual Report 2015-2016

The mean age of Youth Service users remains around 18 years. Young people aged 16 form the largest user group, followed by those aged 19 and 15. There are two distinct clusters of young people who use the service:

• Those 12 to 17 years of age - interested in events and school holiday activities, and

• A more independent group in their late teens and early 20's - high-risk young people with complex needs that require more intensive support.

The ways in which the Youth Service is being accessed and used by young people is changing. Although face-to-face is still very much the major form of contact, there has been a large increase in on-line contact, from just 4% two years ago to 18% in the last year.

During 2015/2016, there was an increased emphasis on partnership and collaboration with schools and local youth advisory groups in other local government areas. In addition to regular holiday activities, Open Mic Nights and other annual events, all of which experienced a rise in participation, there were a number of new initiatives and special projects:

• The Suicide Prevention Project Funded with a grant from the Ministerial Council for Suicide Prevention, delivered SafeTALK and ASIST Suicide Prevention workshops to young people, professionals and semi-professionals working with young people and community members;

• Youth Art Workshops and Exhibition Participants were offered the chance to work with a well-known urban artist to create a piece for exhibition at the Exposure Youth Music Festival and at the Cambridge Street Festival;

• Partnerships with Churchlands SHS and Shenton College CYS is now working with school staff to provide services and events via the schools;

• Barista Training This very popular program is now offered on a more ad hoc basis to fit with young people's complex timetables;

• Young Writer's Competition The 2015 competition attracted an increased number of entries, assisted by a series of new workshops with local authors;

• Youth Leadership Camp CYN members participated in a three day leadership training camp at Fairbridge Pinjarra which focused on team building skills; and

• Expansion of Perry Lakes Skate Park Stage 2 of the redevelopment of the skate park continues, with funding grants now approved to construct an enclosed linked bowl designed to challenge more advanced skaters, plus a shade shelter, additional seating, timer-controlled floodlights, connecting paths and more landscaping. This project will be completed in 2017.

BOLD PARK AQUATICOn Saturday 28 November 2015, the new Bold Park Aquatic opened for business following a year-long $12.5 million redevelopment. The new centre designed by Donovan Payne Architects and built by Doric Group, features:

• A 10 lane 50 metre lap pool with access ramp and shaded grandstand;

• A semi-enclosed leisure pool with beach entry, teaching pod and 4 x 20 metre lanes;

• A multi-purpose room for crèche, group fitness and birthday parties;

• Accessible and family change rooms;

• An adventure playground; and

• A café and barbeque facilities.

Bold Park Aquatic was officially opened on Saturday, 12 December 2015 where invited guests witnessed Mayor Keri Shannon and Save Bold Park Action Group member Faye Boyd unveil a plaque commemorating the occasion.

The Centre caters for lap swimmers and families looking to enjoy a leisurely swim, and also provides a wide range of learn-to-swim programs, squad training and group fitness classes.

Bold Park Swim Academy commenced operating on 1 February 2016 and over the next five months took 1,803 attendances in infant classes, 9,346 attendances in the 'Swim and Survive' program and 380 attendances in squad training.

The Academy is endorsed by AUSTSWIM and Royal Lifesaving and uses the same curriculum as the Education Department to ensure continuity across swim stages. In addition, the Academy delivered exclusive in-term swimming programs to one local school.

The Centre also ran a range of fitness programs for all ages and abilities including aqua aerobics, Living Longer Living Stronger, Body Harmonics and Fab 50's. A fully staffed crèche and a range of birthday party options were also provided for families with young children.

A number of community groups regularly use the Centre including Bold Park Masters Swimming Club, Trench Sports and Floreat and Scarborough Surf Life Saving Clubs. The Centre also hosted the Education Department's Vacation Swimming program in January 2016 as well as five school swimming carnivals during February and March 2016.

25Community Development

COMMUNITY FACILITIESThe Boulevard CentreThe Boulevard Centre is a multi-purpose training and function venue built in 2002. Over the last 14 years it has become a popular facility for corporate training seminars, community events, group meetings and private functions.

The Boulevard Centre operated in a difficult conference market throughout 2015/2016. Despite this, the mix of user groups remained consistent with the previous year:

• Not for profit and Government funded agencies (58%);

• State and Federal Government departments (11%); and

• Commercial business or private hirers (31%).

In 2015/2016 the Centre hosted 749 events with total patronage reaching 23,491 visitors, a reduction of 23% and 31% respectively on the previous year. This drop in utilisation reflects a significant reduction in spending across the Training and Development sector.

Apart from weekly conferences and seminars, The Boulevard Centre is also a popular venue for fundraising events with sporting clubs holding quiz and bingo nights. Further, 2015/2016 was the first year The Boulevard Centre hosted the Town's annual Seniors Christmas Luncheon, which by all reports was a great hit with senior residents.

Wembley Community CentreWembley Community Centre is home to the Town's Senior Services program and is used regularly by local groups in the evenings and on weekends. As a result of the high number of community services and activities available at the centre, it received a number of significant upgrades in 2015/2016:

• A new Universal Access Toilet;

• A dedicated laundry;

• Separate store room;

• New car park bollard lighting; and

• External sealing under the eaves.

The Wembley Community Centre was closed in January 2016 during construction. Patronage in 2015/2016 was consistent with the previous year with the majority of usage by non-profit organisations (88%) and the balance coming from commercial hirers (12%).

Leederville Town HallThe Leederville Town Hall is a classic example of 'turn-of-the-century' architecture and is the Town's oldest public facility available for hire. Following last year's exhibition for the 100th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, many local pictures and plaques from the start of the First World War still remains on display in the hall for public viewing.

The Leederville Town Hall has a number of regular hirers that use the historic facility every week.

The Quarry AmphitheatreThe Quarry Amphitheatre, located on Oceanic Drive experienced its most successful financial year since the Town took on the management of the venue in 2009. Operating revenue increased by 14% from last year, however due to some much needed maintenance and upgrades, expenditure was also up by 23%.

The 2015/2016 performance season accommodated 77 events: 46 performance events; 7 corporate events and 24 private events. A number of regular hirers expanded their production nights while some new hirers were also accommodated. Highlights included the West Australian Ballet, Kate Ceberano, A Big Tribute to the Blues Brothers, Pete Murray and Missy Higgins.

It was also an extremely busy year for facility upgrades at the Quarry, improving the amenities and general safety of the venue. Improvements included:

• New entrance road lighting bollards;

• New roof and paint for the office building;

• Plumbing and café upgrades; and

• New digital audio desk.

Safety improvements included a new Emergency Management Plan, a working at heights platform, a rock fall prevention system and anchor points installed around the perimeter of the rock walls, plus substantial repairs to the limestone walls to repair erosion and weathering. The Quarry is looking the best it has looked in many years.

Wembley Golf CourseIt was a very busy year for Wembley Golf Course with construction of the new hospitality facilities Ambrose Estate function room, 300 Acres restaurant and bar as well as a new kiosk and change rooms. The change rooms were opened in April 2016, the kiosk in May 2016 and Ambrose Estate and 300 Acres are due to opened in August 2016.

Work also commenced in May 2016 on the exciting miniature golf course. This project includes an 18 hole mini golf facility, playground, ceremony pavilions and new practice facilities. Importantly, the mini golf includes nine accessible holes for less abled people (a first for Perth). It is expected that on completion (envisaged November 2016) the miniature golf course will be one of the best in Australia.

During the reporting period the Swing Driving Range continued to perform well with nearly ten million balls hit for the year. Golf rounds played dropped to approximately 148,000 as a result of disruption that comes with a significant building project and the higher than average rainfall from April through to June 2016.

The Gallus Golf Mobile App continues to be a great success with over 6,700 downloads. This free app is available in IOS and Android and Wembley Golf Course is the first in Perth to offer this great product.

The junior program continues to be a success, with over 95 juniors participating in either the MyGolf or RGX streams. The development of juniors is an important long term goal for Wembley Golf Course.

EnvironmentalThe tree planting program continued with over 1,000 native trees being planted in non-play areas. In the past 14 years over 15,000 native trees have been planted.

As part of the tree management program, ongoing annual airborne multi-spectral imagery is used to monitor annual change in canopy and condition of vegetation, and efficacy of treatment programs. Wembley Golf Course now has 21.7% of its total tree population (predominantly Tuart trees) over ten metres in height. This represents a significant tree population within the Perth urban area.

IANBIGNELLDIRECTORDEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Development and Sustainability Services fulfils Council’s responsibilities with issues relating to planning, building, environmental health, environment, sustainability and ranger services.

Strategic Planning and Town Planning Scheme review 2015/2016 During the financial year 2015-2016 a number of strategic planning projects were progressed including initial steps to commence the Town’s Local Planning Strategy. Town Planning Scheme Amendment 27 was also approved which is a major scheme amendment to facilitate future development in the West Leederville Activity Centre.

Local Planning StrategyThe Town has taken its first steps to prepare a Local Planning Strategy which will provide a framework for long-term (10 to 20 year) planning for the Town, addressing social, environmental and economic factors which affect land use and development. A project plan to guide the delivery of the project was adopted by Council in April

2016 and advertising for tenders to assist the Town in undertaking the project will occur in July 2016, after which the appointed consultants will begin to undertake research and community consultation to guide the development of the Strategy.

Town Planning Scheme Amendment 27 - Omnibus AmendmentIn June 2016, Town Planning Scheme Amendment 27 was approved by the Minister for Planning, which represented a key milestone in the implementation of the West Leederville Activity Plan and review of the Town Planning Scheme.

The Scheme Amendment introduced the following:-

• A Mixed Use Zone to encourage a mix of commercial and residential development in West Leederville on Cambridge High Street and the Southport Street Node;

• A Residential R-AC0 Zone for the area between Kimberley Street and Abbotsford Street which promotes multiple dwellings and allows for the preparation of a set of specific built form standards to control development;

• A Special Use Zone which applies to the area north of Cambridge Street between Southport Street and the bowling club to enable more detailed planning for a new link to Leederville Station and mixed use redevelopment in the area; and

• A Special Control Area over the West Leederville Activity Centre to allow for more detailed planning to be adopted under the Town Planning Scheme for the centre.

Development and Sustainability

28 Town of Cambridge Annual Report 2015-2016

The Scheme Amendment enables the Town to undertake further detailed planning to prepare a Local Development Plan and detailed policy provisions for the new Residential R-ACO Zone.

The Amendment also incorporates a density bonus for Wembley corner lots allowing for these lots to be developed to R30 standards if specific requirements are satisfied.

Scheme Amendment 31At a Special Council meeting on 1 July 2015, Council considered a report on the outcomes of advertising and decided to adopt the Amendment 31 in modified form. The modifications included:

• Removal of the corner lot three dwellings proposal;

• No manor houses on corner lots;

• For the manor house option, maximum two apartments on 900sqm and larger lots and two apartments plus a small one bedroom apartment on 1000sqm and larger lots (three and four apartment options removed); and

• Increased minimum lot size of 900sqm for the Cambridge Street apartments.

The modified amendment was forwarded to the Department of Planning for consideration of adoption by the Western Australian Planning Commission. The Commission considered the Amendment on two occasions at meetings in October 2015 and January 2016, after which a recommendation was made to the Minister for Planning.

On 7 April 2016, the Town received advice of the Minister for Planning’s determination in relation to Scheme Amendment 31. The Minister decided to substantially modify and require re-advertising of the modified Amendment for a period of 60 days. The changes are summarised below:

1. Manor house proposal has been deleted.

2. Corner lots density increased to R20 subject to conditions. Provides development potential for lots greater than 900 sqm.

3. All lots within the 400 metre walkable catchment of local centres (Ocean Village, The Boulevard/Gayton Road and Birkdale Street) density increased to R30 subject to conditions.

4. Cambridge Street Lots (Selby Street to Floreat Avenue) have been rezoned to allow grouped and multiple dwellings to at least R40 and to a maximum R60 density.

In response to Council decisions on the matter, the Town sought legal advice and Senior Counsel Representation in relation to the Minister’s powers to modify an amendment. This resulted in Council deciding to request the Minister reject Amendment 31, on the basis it was significantly different and did not resemble the original proposal prepared by Council.

On 5 September 2016 the Town was advised Planning Minister Donna Faragher had rejected Scheme Amendment 31.

In August, the Minister had met with Town of Cambridge Mayor Keri Shannon and Chief Executive Officer Jason Buckley, who advised the Town, has engaged consultants to progress a local planning strategy, and the Town planned to initiate a new amendment once that strategy was completed. The new amendment will address the State’s objectives with respect to density, housing diversity and infill.

Centre PlansThe draft Wembley Activity Centre Plan is being prepared to guide future development in the Wembley Activity Centre, the area focused along Cambridge Street between Marlow Street and Essex Street.

Following advertising in 2015, the Plan has been subject to review with a focus on providing further clarification and to facilitate re-advertising in order to obtain broader community input into the plan Prior to it being finalised. It is expected community consultation will occur in August/September 2016.

In November 2015 the Town’s centre planning for West Leederville was awarded a Commendation at the Planning Institute of Australia WA Awards. The Town received a Commendation in the category of the President’s Award for the West Leederville Activity Centre Plan which was recognised for its contribution to supporting the State Government’s Activity Centre strategy.

Parkside WalkA number of significant milestones were reached in the planning for development of Parkside Walk, the former Nursery Site on Salvado Road, Jolimont. In July 2015, the Western Australian Planning Commission adopted the Outline Development Plan. Design guidelines were then adopted by Council in December 2015. The subdivision plan has been approved and work is expected to commence on the site in late 2016.

Town Planning Scheme Amendment 32 - Perry Lakes EstateTo facilitate the reinstatement of planning control to the Town over the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Act area, Scheme Amendment No. 32 was prepared which rezones the land for residential purposes and reserves parts of the area for recreation, and establishes a Special Control Area. This will give force to the Redevelopment Plan and Western Australian Planning Commission approved Detailed Area Plans and Design Guidelines applicable to the area. The Scheme Amendment was approved by Council in November 2015 and is expected to be completed early in the 2016/2017 financial year.

29Development and Sustainability

Design Advisory PanelsThe Town developed a policy to introduce a Design Review Panel which was adopted by Council in June 2016 and is intended to provide the Town, Council and applicants with independent advice on the design quality and architectural merits of development proposals. Design review focuses on the incorporation of sustainability principles, streetscape presentation, pedestrian friendly environments, street orientated development, functional mixed use areas and protection and enhancement of heritage and character. The Town worked with the Office of the Government Architect which congratulated the Town on its leadership in encouraging better public amenity and residential design outcomes.

Scheme Amendments In addition to the above mentioned Scheme Amendment 27 and 32, a number of other Scheme Amendments were either advertised or gazetted as follows:-

• Scheme Amendment 29 was gazetted in October 2015 to introduce an Additional Use for Consulting Rooms (Group) at No. 210 Cambridge Street, Wembley.

• Scheme Amendment 30 was gazetted in February 2016 to introduce an Additional Use for Hospital - Special Purposes at No.61-69 Cambridge Street, West Leederville (Abbotsford Private Hospital).

• Scheme Amendment 33 was initiated by Council in August 2015 to rezone No.350 Cambridge Street, Wembley (Wembley Hotel/Cambridge Forum) from ‘Public Purpose’ and ‘Residential R20’ to ‘Local Centre’.

Statutory Planning

Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) RegulationsThe new Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 came into effect on 19 October 2015, replacing the Town Planning Regulations 1967 and the Model Scheme Text. The Regulations introduce a set of ‘deemed provisions’ which automatically apply and form part of the Town of Cambridge Town Planning Scheme No. 1. The intent of these Regulations was to bring consistency for all town planning schemes across the State.

The existing Town Planning Scheme No.1 and Town’s Planning Policies should be read in conjunction with the new ‘deemed provisions’. Where there is inconsistency between a ‘deemed provision’ and an existing scheme provision, the deemed provision will prevail.

The new Regulations also set out procedures for scheme amendments. These procedures seek to streamline local scheme amendments by adopting a ‘track-based’ approach, with different timeframes allocated for basic, standard and complex amendments.

Development ApprovalsAll development applications are assessed under the provisions of Town Planning Scheme No. 1 and associated policies. During the year, 451 development applications worth an estimated $122,256,174 were received for residential, educational, commercial, medical and infrastructure applications. The table below provides a breakdown of significant development applications received by the Town this financial year including medical, commercial, infrastructure and educational facilities:

2 Medical applications $1,130,079

Cambridge received 23 subdivision referrals from the Western Australian Planning Commission for green title, amalgamation/re-subdivision and survey strata subdivisions.

Building ServicesThe Town is responsible for ensuring that residents who apply to build new premises or make additions or alterations to premises, comply with all relevant codes, regulations and standards.

The purpose of a building approval is to ensure that structures meet National Construction Code structural and safety standards and ensure that the interests of both neighbours and the community are considered in this process. The Building Act 2011 requires segregation of applications into seven sub-categories. The Town received 336 Certified Permits, 241 Uncertified Permits, 68 Demolition Permits, 14 Building Approval Certificates, 5 Building Approval Certificates (Strata), 24 Occupancy Permits and 4 Occupancy Permit (Strata) applications during the year. Certified and Uncertified building permit applications received during the year were assessed for Town Planning Scheme compliance.

Waste Management The Town provides a comprehensive waste and recycling service designed to make it easy for residents to conserve natural resources and reduce waste destined for landfill. The Town has continued to encourage residents to aim for Maximum Recovery with an overall goal of increasing recycling rates through the kerbside three bin system to achieve the Waste Authority’s target of 65% waste diverted from landfill by 2020.

The Town provides residents with the following waste services: -

• Best practice three bin collection system, weekly landfill and fortnightly recycling and green waste;

• two annual bulk verge and bulk green waste collections;

• weekly on request mattress collection;

• two e-waste drop off days annually;

• two charity donation drop off days annually;

• four recycling drop off points for items that should not go in the kerbside bins; and

• additional recycling collections at Christmas.

Waste Education Campaign The Town’s recycling service has been extremely successful thanks to a commitment to waste minimisation initiatives and education. The Town’s Maximum Recovery campaign demonstrates that we now have a best practice waste collection system and are encouraging residents on how we can achieve Maximum Recovery.

Key focus areas of the Maximum Recovery campaign are:

• Improving the environment by recovering more resources through household recycling;

• Encouraging residents to lead by example and adopt sustainable living as a standard;

• Maximising the amount that can go into the recycling bin; and

• Encouraging behavioural change and perceptions toward recycling.

The Town continues to promote a simplified message about what can go into the recycling bin - anything that is paper, cardboard, metal, glass or plastic.

Mattress Recycling Through the no charge mattress collection program, the Town diverted 1,077 mattresses from landfill this year which translates to approximately 43 tonnes in weight. Mattresses are deconstructed and materials repurposed.

Recycle Stations In September 2015, the Town commissioned four new portable recycle stations for items that should not be placed in the recycling bin. The stations are in place for residents to dispose of fluorescent tubes, light globes, printer cartridges, batteries and mobile phones, and are located at;

• Town of Cambridge Administration

• Cambridge Library

• Wembley Community Centre

• Bold Park Aquatic

Public Space Recycling In October 2015, the Town introduced new dual bin enclosures at City Beach and Floreat Beach. The bins have been well received by beach goers and have added a much needed visual upgrade to the previous wheelie bins which lined our coast. The bins were chosen based on functionality and to fit in with the design of the new surf club development.

Garage Sale Trail On Saturday, 24 October 2015, the Town organised the annual Lake Monger Market. Attendance was estimated to be 3,000 plus and the event had a great community atmosphere. There was entertainment from local choirs and theatre groups, cultural workshops, a variety of waste education and sustainability focused stalls, activities and food vans.

E-Waste Drop-off Days The Town hosts e-waste drop off days twice annually which allows residents to recycle unwanted electronic items such as TVs and computers. The Town diverts an average of 15 tonnes of waste from landfill at each of these events which are held in February and September to coincide with the bulk verge collection.

Charity Drop-off Days At the 26 April 2016, Council resolved to cease support for placement of charity donation bins on public land. The Town, like many other councils, Cambridge has experienced issues with charity donation bins on public land becoming spaces which encourage anti-social behaviour, accumulate litter and instigate illegal dumping. In lieu of Charity donation bins the Town held a Charity Drop-Off Day on Saturday, 11 June 2016 with nearly nine tonnes of clothes, textiles and shoes collected for charity. A steady procession of over 400 cars navigated the Administration Centre car park to donate goods to the participating charities - Vinnies, Salvos, Anglicare, Spine & Limb and Good Sammy’s.

Additional Recycling at Christmas For the past four years the Town has provided residents with three consecutive weeks of recycling over Christmas to help to dispose of the additional waste generated over this period. The program has been well received by residents and contributed to a 4.7% increase in recycling in December 2015.

Better Bins Campaign The Waste Authority allocated a grant of $216,690 to the Town to spend on projects which will add value to our current kerbside collection service.

Water Conservation PlanThe Town manages its allocated ground water resource for irrigation in accordance with the Water Conservation Plan. Cambridge Council continued to be a leader in its efficient use of water for irrigation.

There are currently 189 hectares under irrigation which are managed using industry best practice methods including:

• Hydrozoning of parks to apply only the required amount of water based on the need and use of the park. A weather station and a central control system ensure continuous monitoring of the weather and only applies irrigation when turf and plants need it;

• Ecozoning of parks to promote biodiversity and conserve water;

• Servicing and replacement of various irrigation bores and pumps including the treatment of selected bores for iron bacteria to maximise their efficiency;

• Monitoring ground water quality from bores to ensure suitability for irrigation;

• Participation in the development of best practices in turf management with other local governments and the University of Western Australia Research Centre;

• Calibration of groundwater flowmeters to ensure their accuracy and compliance with the Department of Water.

Coastal Natural Areas Management PlanIn accordance with this Plan, rehabilitation works, including removal of woody weeds and planting of numerous tube stock plants, specially grown from local provenance seed collected from the local dunes, were undertaken in the Town’s coastal dunes.

These on-going works, undertaken with the assistance of Cambridge Coastcare, aim to improve biodiversity values in the Town’s coastal dunes. Other works included the maintenance of the beach access paths and adjacent fencing to ensure the protection of the coastal dunes.

Street Trees Treescape Plan 2010-2020Trees are one of the Town’s most important natural assets and are regarded as critical urban infrastructure. The Town’s street trees are managed in accordance with the Treescape Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to:

• Develop attractive treescapes for every street in the Town;

• Increase the Town’s overall tree canopy area each year;

• Improve the visual appeal of commercial centres; and

• Foster community awareness of the importance of street trees and so create a sense of pride in the quality of streets.

To achieve the purpose of the Plan, Council adopted the Priority Streets and Precinct Streets Planting Programs. These programs aim to achieve entire street improvements and increase street tree numbers from 14,000 to 18,500

by 2024. 2015 saw completion of year three of the planting program with a total 970 trees planted since the program commenced.

Other significant programmed works undertaken included the Ficus Hillii Management Program, The Boulevard Pine Trees Management Program and the Phoenix Palm Management Program.

Park Trees and Landscape ImprovementsParks and gardens in the Town are some of the most beautiful in Perth. Trees and shrubs growing in these areas contribute to making up the Town’s urban forest. A significant amount of minor tree and shrubs works are undertaken on a day to day basis within the Town’s parks to keep these assets alive, healthy and safe.

Major Land Transactions

Perry Lakes Redevelopment ProjectThe State Government assumed control of the Perry Lakes Redevelopment project in 2005 after passing the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Act 2005 (the Act). At the completion of the project, the Town of Cambridge was owed $50 million which as per the Act can be paid in cash, land or a combination of cash and land.

In May 2015, the Town received a report from the Minister for Planning on the proposed settlement with the State Government on the Perry Lakes Redevelopment as follows;

• The settlement of the $50 million is to be made through a combination of land and cash;

• The three apartments sites (lots 231, 232 and 233) will be transferred to the Town by 30 June 2015;

• The Valuer General will assess the value of the land in accordance with the requirements of the Act (section 4(3) (b));

• The balance (i.e. $50 million less the land value) will be paid to the Town in cash in the 2016/17 financial year; and

Statutory Compliance and Civic Responsibilities

• Both the MRS (Currently zoned Urban Deferred) and the Town’s planning scheme will need to be amended to “normalise” the development controls over the land prior to the final payment being made to the Town.

The transfer of the three apartments sites, valued at $27.4 million (ex GST), subsequently occurred on the 21 July 2015. The remaining balance of $22.6 million is to be paid in cash during the 2016/17 financial year. The Council at its August 2015 Council meeting decided to sell lot 232, 1 Meagher Drive and lot 233, 29 Stadium Drive by way of tender. In December 2015, Lots 232 and 233 were sold for $19.5 million (ex GST) and are to be settled in January 2017.

Former Nursery Site Redevelopment (Parkside Walk Jolimont)In 2012, the Town prepared a business plan for the development of freehold land owned by the Town, commonly known as the Former Nursery site located in Salvado Road, Jolimont. The site is approximately 3.9 Ha.

Following public submissions on the business plan, the Town entered into a contract for the sale of the Land with Landcorp. The contract provided for an initial payment to the Town of $5 million and the remaining payment to be provided via a single payment once the land was valued or deferred payments as the land is sold in individual lots after the subdivision.

During the year, the Council determined that it will receive the balance of the consideration as deferred contingent consideration. Subsequently, the land was transferred to LandCorp to prepare the outline development plan and seek

46 Town of Cambridge Annual Report 2015-2016

approval from Western Australian Planning Commission in accordance with the agreement.

The business plan contemplates sales of $40 million, development costs and selling expenses of $10 million and a net return of $30 million. The Town’s share of this notional amount is 60% or $18 million, of which $5 million has already been received.

Exempt Land Transactions There were no exempt land transactions undertaken during the 2015/2016 financial year.

Statutory Compliance

Freedom of Information Act (1992)The Town complies with the Freedom of Information Act 1992. The Town’s Freedom of Information Statement, reviewed in November 2013 in accordance with provisions of the Act, is available on the website for public inspection.

Six valid Freedom of Information applications were received during the 2015/2016 period. Seven applications, including one carried over from the previous calendar year, were finalised during this period. Of the seven requests, two applicants received edited access, three received full access, another was refused access, and one withdrew their request.

Compliance with the State Records ActThe Town complies with the State Records Act 2000. The Town’s Record Keeping Plan, a requirement of the Act, is in its third revision. It was given a five year approval by the State Records Commission on 31 May 2013.

All communications to and from the Town are registered into the corporate electronic document management system ensuring an important information source is secure and accessible to all staff. Incoming correspondence registration and response is monitored by progress reports generated at the end of each month from the document management system. During the last financial year staff registered a total of 158,065 documents to the corporate system.

New employees are provided with in-house assistance to ensure they understand their record keeping obligations and responsibilities. Records management support is available to all staff through regularly updated user guides and manuals on the Town’s intranet, and from experienced administration staff. Systems are also in place to record Elected Member emails.

National Competition PolicyNational Competition Policy is a whole of government approach to bring about reform in the public sector to encourage government to become more competitive. Local government is affected mainly where it operates significant business activities, which compete or could compete with private enterprise and where local laws unnecessarily affect competition.

Competitive NeutralityThis principle deals with ensuring that government business operations do not have any advantage or disadvantage in comparison to the private sector. In the period under notice, no activities undertaken by the Town were classified as either a Public Trading Enterprise or a Public Financial Enterprise. During the reporting period no allegations of non-compliance with the principles of Competitive Neutrality were received.

Local LawsThe Local Government Act 1995 requires all of the Town’s Local Laws be reviewed every eight years. Local Laws are also revised periodically on a needs basis. As part of this process Local Law amendments are assessed against National Competition Policy principles where appropriate. The process of reviewing the Local Laws was undertaken in 2015/2016.
