GREENING BANYULE

Mr Dennis O’Connell, Ms Jane Crone and Mr Rowan Harrison spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The residents of the City of Banyule are fortunate to live, work and play in a green and leafy municipality. The green spaces have an important role for natural biodiversity, public health and wellbeing. Our trees and open spaces contribute to the community wellbeing by providing areas for recreation, relaxation, and contact with nature, crucial habitat for fauna, flora and respite from the urban heat island effect in summer. Banyule City Council has a long and proud history of supporting and undertaking activities and programs that benefit our environment. Our reserves, parks, and linear corridors are populated with trees, shrubs and ground covers as a direct result of the toil and effort of council and community members. Significant greening activities occur annually by council staff and community members resulting many thousands of plants being planted within our parks and streets. This report recognises that there is an opportunity to herald and promote the works through a variety of communication channels. Further it is important that the community is informed on the progress against predetermined greening targets. Resolution (CO2016/229) That: 1.

Council launch the “Greening Banyule” in a "one off" Banner highlighting the Council's greening achievements such as water harvesting, the Public Open Space Plan, the recent increase in parklands.

A report be presented to Council annually on the achievements of Greening Banyule at the conclusion of every planting season. A graphic depicting the cumulative number of plants could be considered for the report and the Banner.

Every effort is made by Council to encourage the community to participate in tree planting.

Council officers explore options to consolidate existing data bases that can be used to distribute greening information electronically to interested groups and individuals.

Council commence discussions with relevant land owners and managers (including State Authorities) to agree on opportunities for greening Banyule. This includes seeking funding, assistance with planting and other resources available.

Council encourage Local Schools and Sporting Clubs and relevant community groups to explore greening sites and possible participation in planting days.

Council confirm the status of the Federal Governments “Green Army” announcement and where possible establish opportunities for its involvement in Greening Banyule. The State Government is encouraged to match the contribution.

Council aim to meet its target of 200,000 plants (and where possible stretch target up to 250,000 plants) over the next 10 years. This however is dependent on suitable weather conditions and the assistance as outlined in points 3, 5, 6 & 7.

These minutes are circulated subject to confirmation by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to be held on 25 July 2016

NORTH EAST LINK - QUARTERLY UPDATE

Mr Dennis O’Connell spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There has been no indication by the State Government and VicRoads of any progress on planning for the proposed North East Link in the three months since last reported to Council. However, continued advocacy has resulted in significantly increased media, industry and resident pressure for government action and funding commitments being made during the Federal election campaign for an investigation into the North-East Link. Infrastructure Victoria has identified the North East Link as a high cost option which would improve traffic flow in this orbital corridor. Council’s submission to Infrastructure Victoria highlighted that the Banyule Integrated Transport Plan (BITP) advocates for a North-East Link as a direct orbital link from the Metropolitan Ring Road to Eastlink. As part of its consideration of the North East Truck Curfew, VicRoads commissioned a road safety audit and an acoustic report into the safety, amenity and noise impacts along Rosanna Road and Greensborough Highway. Resolution (CO2016/231) That Council note that the State Government and VicRoads have not progressed planning for the proposed North East Link, however funding commitments have been made during the Federal election campaign for an investigation into the North East Link.

OLYMPIC PARK DRAFT MASTER PLAN

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In December 2015, Council appointed Inside Edge Sport and Leisure Planning to work with the community and Council to develop a master plan for Olympic Park, Heidelberg West. The objective of the project was to prepare a master plan for Olympic Park to ensure the best outcomes for the community, with improved facilities, better linkages and access from both sides of Darebin Creek, and a long term sustainable plan for the precinct. An extensive and targeted consultation process was undertaken with key internal and external stakeholders to gather information, identify the needs of key users and determine future improvements and development opportunities at Olympic Park. The draft plans are now ready for the final consultation phase and this report recommends that Council adopt the draft master plan for the purpose of public consultation between 12 July and 9 August 2016 and invite written submissions during this period. Resolution (CO2016/233) That Council: 1.

Adopt the Olympic Park Draft Master Plan for the purpose of community consultation between 12 July – 9 August 2016

Invite community members to submit written submissions in relation to the draft plan via communication in the Leader Newspaper (Banyule in Brief), Council’s website, Facebook page, direct email to the user groups at Olympic Park and primary and secondary stakeholders.

SOMERS AVENUE, MACLEOD - REVIEW OF PAID PARKING

Mr Roger Fyfe spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At its meeting on 22 June 2015, Council resolved to install a paid parking system in Somers Avenue, Macleod. In addition, at its meeting on 9 November 2015, Council resolved to stage the paid parking implementation in two stages, assessing the impacts of the first one prior to proceeding with the second. Stage one of the paid parking system was implemented in Somers Avenue in December 2015. In the last months the occupancy rate has been low, with an average transaction of two to three vehicles per weekday, resulting in the displacement of approximately 22 vehicles to the surrounding street network. Residents, commuters and traders have raised their concerns in relation to the implementation of paid parking; with displacement of parking and increase in total cost of travel being the major concerns. The report was deferred at the Council Meeting of 27 June 2016. Resolution (CO2016/234) That Council: 1.

Retain the stage one paid parking restrictions installed in Somers Avenue, Macleod, and reduce the fee to $2 per day.

Postpone the implementation of stage two paid parking restrictions proposed in Somers Avenue, Macleod, until further assessment is undertaken in 12 months, when commuter parking is expected to have settled.

Receive a report in relation to the utilisation of the stage one paid parking restrictions in Somers Avenue, Macleod, following the assessment in 12 months.

Undertake regular enforcement of the short term parking restrictions in the streets near the Macleod railway station and Macleod Village shopping precinct.

Investigate the possibilities of jointly funding a Parkiteer bicycle cage at Macleod railway station, with Public Transport Victoria.

Undertake a survey of Macleod railway station commuters to understand where they live so that Council can advocate for improved bus services to those areas.

MANAGING CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH LARGE DEVELOPMENT SITES

Mr Kevin Biaggini spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Development within Banyule has been growing over recent years with a significant increase in larger development sites resulting in amenity impacts on residential and commercial areas. Construction activity impacts include noise, mud, dust, parking of construction vehicles and plant and equipment located on public land. The Development Planning, Engineering, Municipal Laws, Building and Asset Protection Units of Council are all involved in the approvals and construction monitoring process. Many of the systems and processes have been in place for some time and were not set up to deal with the amount and scale of development that is now taking place across the municipality. In order to provide the level of protection that the community expects, a review of the processes and systems is needed to ensure compliance with the appropriate legislation and requirements. Council’s General Local Law contains many relevant amenity clauses that can be used as permit requirements for asset protection. Construction Management Plans are an important tool that can also be used at the Planning Permit stage, however, they are best enforced through the Local Law and other associated legislation. Additional resources are required to assist with establishing an effective system for construction activity permits, approvals and monitoring associated with developments. Such a system should include changes in delegation to staff, the implementation of streamlined application processes, and the use of “in field” technology. It is expected that the increased costs to establish and run the new system can be covered through permit and approval fees and enforcement activities. The revised system is expected to improve stakeholder management, provide enhanced levels of customer service and clearer roles for those involved. Resolution (CO2016/235) That the process and system for undertaking the issuing of construction activity permits, approvals and monitoring associated with development in Banyule is reviewed and enhanced to ensure that amenity impacts are appropriately managed. The changes should be in accordance with the following principles and parameters: i.

Processes are streamlined, including the use of technology to improve transactions between developers and Council, timely feedback to stakeholders and improved customer service levels;

ii.

A clear enforcement framework is developed which supports the issuing of infringements for breaches of the Local Law and other relevant legislation;

iii.

Processes, systems and resource are aligned to ensure that the various roles within the organisation are clear and unambiguous in terms of responsibility;

iv.

Delegations are broadened to enable a range of legislation and enforcement tools to be used by staff involved;

Fees associated with approvals are increased to improve the quality of applications, reduce unnecessary activity and recover costs associated with additional resources;

KALPARRIN GARDENS MASTER PLAN

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In February 2016, Council appointed Hanson Partnership to work with the community and Council to develop a master plan for Kalparrin Gardens, Greensborough. The objective of the project was to prepare a Masterplan for Kalparrin Gardens to guide the future planning and development of the Park to ensure improved facilities, better linkages, access and sustainability in line with its status as a Regional Park. Following the initial consultation process a draft masterplan has been prepared for Kalparrin Gardens which highlights its potential to become a major destination park. It will potentially feature a range of family friendly facilities, which will make the Park conducive for families spending a half-day, or longer together enjoying a park based experience. An extensive and targeted consultation process was undertaken with key internal and external stakeholders to gather information, identify the needs of key users and determine future improvements and development opportunities at Kalparrin Gardens. The draft plans are now ready for the final consultation phase and this report is seeking Council’s endorsement of the draft masterplan so that next phase of consultation may proceed. It is proposed to conduct a public exhibition/consultation process in relation to the draft masterplan between 12 July and 9 August 2016 and invite written submissions during this period.

TRANSPORT ADVOCACY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The level of community concern with transport within Banyule has risen to an intolerably high level, and as a result significant projects are proposed for the region and for specific areas with millions of dollars of funding already allocated and potentially billions for their delivery. Getting the absolute best outcomes for the Banyule community is by: • • • •

Being involved at the earliest possible moment in these projects; Developing our own ideas to feed into processes; Engaging with and activating our communities on the issues; and Fostering relationships and advocating strongly to influence decision makers.

The Hurstbridge Railway line duplication and level crossing removal project has already commenced and Council’s input is required immediately. It is also time to influence thinking and developing advocacy strategies and alliances for the NE Link. Otherwise the Banyule community will most likely have to accept the solutions offered by the various authorities with little or no changes. The time for this action is now. A new high level 12 month position ‘Transport Advocacy Manager’ will help guide Council’s response to the critical transport projects which are currently in progress and being planned. Funding for the position is sought as an additional allocation of $100,000 over and above the 2016/17 budget. Resulting advocacy actions, planning and consultant support could be contributed to by a combination of sources including Council’s allocation towards advocacy, the streetscape works funding for Turnham Avenue and the Grimshaw Street / Flintoff Street project in the 2016/17 capital works program, as well as operational budgets from within the City Development Directorate. Resolution (CO2016/238) That Council: 1.

Approve funding of $100,000 for the creation of a new 12-month role ‘Transport Advocacy Manager’ over and above the 2016/17 budget;

Allocate funds within the existing 2016/17 budget to provide planning and consultant support and facilitate advocacy actions as part of the new 12-month role.

RATING STRATEGY 2016/2017

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Local Government Act 1989 (Part 8 Division 1) outlines the permissible rating mechanisms and valuation bases to be applied to calculate property owners’ liability for rates. The rating system selected by a Council under the Local Government Act 1989 then determines how Council will raise money from properties within the municipality. The rating system does not influence the total amount of rate revenue to be raised, only the share of revenue contributed by each property. Rates are a significant part of Councils revenue. A Rating Strategy is therefore a key element in the Council exercising sound financial management by which Council systematically considers factors of importance that informs its decisions about the rating system. Some key principles that Banyule City Council adopt are noted below and are explained in further detail within the report attached: • • • • • •

Capital improved value is used for rating valuation purposes (section 4). Differential rating has been adopted (section 6). A Municipal Charge is levied on all ratable properties (section 9). Banyule City Council does not currently levy an annual service charge for the collection and disposal of waste to all ratepayers. A standard service is provided to residential ratable properties and is funded from general rates (section 10). Banyule City Council currently has 12 Special Rate and or Charge schemes in operation, 11 are Promotional Schemes and one is a Constructional Scheme (section 11). No further rebates or concessions than those afforded by the State Government Pensioner Rebate scheme are provided (section 12).

MINUTES ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL • •

11 JULY 2016

A rate rebate is not provided to support the provision of affordable housing by registered agencies (section 13). No incentives are offered for the payment of rates and charges before the dates. Banyule City Council does provide support via deferment or payment arrangements for those experiencing financial hardship (section 14).

The State Government has introduced the Fair Go Rates System (FGRS) which sets out the maximum amount councils may increase rates in a year. For 2016/2017 the FGRS cap has been set at 2.50%. The cap applies to both general rates and municipal charges and is calculated on the basis of council’s average rates and charges. The Rating Strategy has been amended to include the introduction of the Fair Go Rates System. The strategy has remained largely unchanged from 2015 with the notable exception of the introduction of Rate capping. This report seeks consideration and adoption of Council’s Rating Strategy. Resolution (CO2016/240) That: 1.

Council adopt the 2016/2017 Rating Strategy

Council officers when reviewing the 2017/2018 Rating Strategy consider the following: (a) evaluation of the objectives set for differential rating of various property types (b) the merits of introducing an annual service charge e.g. municipal waste (c) introducing incentives for early payment of rates.

Include Council’s Rate Hardship Policy as an attachment to 2016/2017 Rating Strategy.
