While this is a State Government project, Council meets regularly with the Authority to input into the design development and has engaged consultants to provide transport planning, drainage, document assessment and legal advice to assist in managing the impact of the project on Council assets. Council is also developing plans for the Rosanna Village streetscape works funded under the 2016/17 Capital Works Program. A consultant has been engaged to prepare Urban Design and Landscape Guidelines to guide input into the track duplication and level crossing removal project and the development of streetscape works on both sides of the railway line. Community consultation is proposed to be undertaken on the draft Rosanna Village Urban Design and Landscape Guidelines (Attachment 1) and Turnham Avenue Streetscape Plan (Attachment 2). Resolution (CO2016/336) That Council: 1.
Notes the status of the Heidelberg to Rosanna track duplication and Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna, level crossing project;
2.
Amends the draft Urban Design Guidelines to note that the possible additional connection across the rail corridor at the southern end of the station should be designed to prevent general vehicular access between Hillside Road, Beetham Parade and Turnham Avenue but provide for pedestrian/cyclist access and improved public transport integration to the new Railway Station; and

5.10 44 TURNHAM AVENUE, ROSANNA - PROPOSED SUPERMARKET VCAT REVIEW PREPARATION (P1260/15) Ms Alicia Curry spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An application for review has been lodged at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after Council issued a Notice of Decision to Grant a Planning Permit for the use and development of a Woolworths Supermarket with under croft car parking together with a reduction in onsite car parking and removal of one tree at 44 Turnham Avenue, Rosanna, and the adjoining road reserve. Following further assessment of two trees (Trees 2 and 7) within Turnham Avenue immediately abutting the subject site it is considered that the design modifications required to the building for retention of the trees would be severe and that from an arboricultural perspective there is no merit in retaining the trees. As such, the streetscape concept plan for Turnham Avenue will not include retention of the trees. However, it is also considered that there may be opportunity to reach agreement on a suitable outcome for the proposal at the VCAT compulsory conference on 28 November 2016 and that officers should be delegated the authority to negotiate a suitable outcome on behalf of Council. Resolution (CO2016/337) That Council: 1.
Acknowledge that the Trees (known as tree 2 and 7) within the Turnham Avenue Road Reserve immediately abutting the subject site cannot feasibly be retained within the streetscape without severe modifications as part of the proposed supermarket development at 44 Turnham Avenue, Rosanna (Notice of Decision to Grant a Planning Permit No. P1260/2015) and note that the trees are not shown for retention in the draft streetscape concept plan for Turnham Avenue;
2.
Ensure that the streetscape plan for Turnham Avenue provides for large canopy street trees in greater numbers than currently provided to contribute to the landscape amenity of the area and future streetscape of Turnham Avenue;
3.
Delegate authority to Council Officers to negotiate a suitable outcome on behalf of Council for the proposed supermarket development at 44 Turnham Avenue, Rosanna (Notice of Decision to Grant a Planning Permit No. P1260/2015) at the VCAT compulsory conference on 28 November 2016.

PROPOSED MULTI-DWELLING DEVELOPMENT AT 57-59 BELLEVUE AVENUE ROSANNA - (P361/2016)
Mt Kevin Biaggini and Mr Phillip Harris spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposal is for the construction of a multi-dwelling development (7 double storey dwellings) and removal of vegetation at 57-59 Bellevue Avenue, Rosanna. A total of five (5) objections were received to the application. The objector concerns relate to the bulk and scale of the proposal, traffic congestion, overlooking, overshadowing, cost of replacing fencing, loss of trees, refuse collection and capacity of existing sewerage. The proposal responds to the relevant policy including Councils Residential Neighbourhood Character Strategy and Clause 55 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme and in particular: •
The strategic considerations for this site given its size and proximity to the Rosanna shopping strip and the Rosanna railway station distance (approximately 450-600m) combined suggest that it should be viewed as one which is ‘accessible’ having regard to Council’s Residential Areas Framework. On this basis, and the existing neighbourhood character includes a number of multidwelling developments immediately to the south, a variation Council’s Neighbourhood Character Strategy is supported. The proposal includes the retention of a large Pin Oak within the front setback of 57 Bellevue Avenue and allows for planting of 1 large and 1 medium canopy tree within the front setback of 59 Bellevue Avenue. A large English Oak is also to be retained at the rear of 59 Bellevue Avenue. No high value trees will be removed and the replacement planting can be achieved throughout the site.
• •
•
It is considered that the application should be approved and a Notice of Decision be granted subject to conditions that address amongst other things; replacement planting, variation in upper storey building materials, improved turning circles for garages 5 & 6 and the location, lighting and signage of the visitor car space. Resolution (CO2016/338) That Council having complied with Section 52, 58, 60, 61 and 62 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, issue a Notice of Decision to Grant a Planning Permit in respect of Application No. P361/2016 for Construct a multi-unit development - 7 dwellings and removal of vegetation at 57 - 59 Bellevue Avenue ROSANNA subject to the following conditions: Plans 1.

PETITION IN RELATION TO PLANNING PERMIT FOR THE CRATE SPECIALITY CAFE, 67 HAIG STREET, HEIDELBERG HEIGHTS (P1163/2013)
Mrs Jess Trubiano spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A petition with 202 signatures has been received from a petition organiser. A petition regarding the Crate Speciality Coffee shop located at 67 Haig Street, Heidelberg Heights, with 202 signatures has been received primarily from residents living within the streets surrounding the premises in Heidelberg Heights but also including Heidelberg West, Macleod, Rosanna, Lower Plenty, Preston, Northcote, Coburg North, Yallambie, Bellfield, Mill Park, Greensborough, Maribyrnong, Eaglemont Ivanhoe, North Melbourne, Doreen, Mt Waverley, Yarraville and Laverton. The petition prayer is as follows: “We the undersigned, residents and ratepayers of Banyule City wish to bring to the attention of Council: Banyule City Council has refused to grant an amendment to a planning permit: P1163/2013. The address of the land is 67 Haig Street, Heidelberg Heights. The business name is Crate Specialty Coffee. Request refused includes extending the opening hours on three days, increasing staff members and increasing patron numbers. Impact on Amenity and Environment: Crate Specialty Coffee cafe is providing locals in the Heidelberg Heights area with a welcoming and safe meeting place. Many locals have finally met each other after previously having no environment to do so. We feel that Crate has increased the feeling of safety and community spirit and provides a pleasing place to stop on a walk or a destination to gather. Rather than causing a detrimental impact to the amenity and environment we the undersigned believe that this cafe has improved our quality of life and the cohesiveness of the community. Trading hours - Noise and Disturbances: We believe that the extended hours will not pose a risk of increased noise or disturbance for the neighbouring properties. The extended hours of trading will encourage locals to venture out of an evening to a quiet, indoor space where they can enjoy tapas. As it stands the premises would only have seating available internally and there would be no external lighting or music. General - Orderly and proper planning of the area: We do not believe that increasing the numbers of staff, seating and hours of the Crate Specialty Coffee business will effect the community in a negative way. In fact we believe that supporting a small business such as Crate is beneficial to the local community beyond measure. The Haig Street development (which the Banyule City Council approved) has brought many more families into the area and allowing Crate Specialty Coffee to expand their business will allow them to provide a vital service to our growing community. As it stands the owners Bea and Tori have been unable to hire extra staff and are working seven days to provide their service to the Heidelberg Heights community which we thank them for.

SUPPORT FOR HOME & COMMUNITY CARE CLIENTS (HACC) TRANSITIONING TO THE NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME (NDIS)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) commenced in Banyule on 1 July 2016 with a proposed 1 year full rollout timeframe. At its Ordinary Meeting of the 9 May 2016, Council resolved to not register as a NDIS service provider. The process for employment of the Transition Officer to assist current Home and Community Care (HACC) clients who are moving to the NDIS was undertaken. Initially it was anticipated that the Transition Officer position would be required for six (6) to twelve (12) months and an officer was engaged from 1 July 2016 to 30 December 2016. Since the commencement of the scheme in Banyule, a number of complex issues have arisen and there have been changes to the scheme’s intake processes. The arrangements for HACC clients transitioning to the scheme has also changed due to existing funding agreements with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). With the full roll out of the scheme in Banyule now delayed until 30 September 2017 and clients are requiring more support, it has been identified that the Transition Officer position will be required until 30 June 2017, which is an extension of a further (6) month period. DHHS has provided Council with a $35,000 grant to assist Council with transitioning clients. Resolution (CO2016/341) That Council continue to assist the transition of current Home and Community Care (HACC) clients that will be eligible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) through the support of a dedicated Transition Officer until 30 June 2017.

GRIMSHAW STREET / FLINTOFF STREET, GREENSBOROUGH - INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT FUNDING
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At its Meeting on 30 November 2015, Council resolved to approve a design for the reconfiguration of the intersection of Grimshaw Street and Flintoff Street, Greensborough, including the installation of pedestrian operated signals. Council committed $400,000 in the 2016-17 budget ($300,000 Council and $100,000 Transport Accident Commission (TAC) funding) to part fund the project. Council sought financial support from the State Government for the delivery of the project on a 50/50 basis given that Grimshaw Street is a declared Main Road under the care and responsibility of VicRoads. The project was not originally included within the Victorian State Budget for 2016-17. On Friday 28 October 2016, the State Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Luke Donnellan, formally announced that the State Government has allocated funds for the VicRoads contribution to deliver this project. The allocation of $500,000 to VicRoads will facilitate the implementation of the project as a jointly funded project with the funds that Council has already committed. With the funding announcement there is certainty associated with the implementation of the project. At the time of writing this report the funding announcement had just occurred and timelines are yet to be established, it is anticipated that the works may be implemented during the first half of 2017. It is also acknowledge that VicRoads are best placed to deliver the project and council officers will work closely with VicRoads’ officers in providing support and assistance as and when necessary or requested.
These minutes are circulated subject to confirmation by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to be held on 28 November 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 of any progress on planning for the proposed North East Link in the three months since the last report to Council. Infrastructure Victoria released its draft Infrastructure Strategy on 4 October 2016. The draft Strategy puts forward 134 recommendations to address Victoria’s current and future infrastructure needs. The recommendations include the construction of the North East Link within 10 to 15 years. As a first step, the strategy recommends a detailed assessment of alternative alignments. The Victorian Transport Association (VTA) has pushed for the North East Link to be prioritised following release of the RACV 2016 Redspot Survey data which showed that six of Melbourne’s top ten traffic congestion hot spots were in the transport corridor from Clifton Hill to Greensborough. The RACV restated its priority for the missing section of the North East Link. The Mayors and CEOs of Banyule City Council and Nillumbik Shire Council met and confirmed an agreement to jointly advocate to the State Government to commence planning work on the North East Link following the Federal Government funding commitment of $5million to commence a feasibility study. The North East Link Focus Group has been established to provide Council with a formal mechanism to consult with representatives of the Banyule community in the development of an action plan advocating for the North East Link. The Focus Group held its first meeting on 7 September 2016 and will meet again in late November to consider a draft Advocacy Action Plan. 30

BELL STREET MALL - TRADERS' PARKING PERMITS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In July 2014, Melbourne Polytechnic (previously known as Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE) commenced charging for the use of its car park at the Heidelberg campus, located on the corner of Bell Street and Waterdale Road, Heidelberg West, neighbouring the Bell Street Mall. This caused a relocation of student and staff parking into the Bell Street Mall car park. In line with the 21 September 2015 Council resolution changes to the Bell Street Mall parking were implemented, with 2-hour and 3-hour parking restrictions installed throughout the entire car park. The Bell Street Mall Traders Association was given authorisation to administer parking permits exclusively to traders and employees of businesses within The Bell Street Mall. An assessment has been undertaken and found that the trader permit system in conjunction with the parking restrictions is working well. It is also noted that students of Melbourne Polytechnic no longer have to pay for parking and it is unlikely that significant parking displacement by Melbourne Polytechnic students is occurring. Since the parking restrictions and trader permit system is working well it is recommended that the trader parking permit system is continued and the existing parking restrictions remain. Resolution (CO2016/349) That Council: 1.
Receives this assessment of the use of traders’ parking permits and parking restrictions in the Bell Street Mall.
2.
Continue to authorise the Bell Street Mall Traders Association to administer parking permits exclusively to traders and employees of businesses within The Bell Street Mall with the following conditions: • •
Permits are valid only within a designated area, where parking signs indicate that permit holders are exempted from parking time limits; and Permits are valid until the end of October 2017.
3.
Retain the currently installed 3-hour parking restrictions, operating 9.00am - 6.00pm Monday to Friday – Permit Holders Exempt to 123 parking spaces in the northern sections of the Bell Street Mall car park.
4.
Retain the currently installed 2-hour parking restrictions operating 9.00am – 6.00pm Monday to Friday to the remaining parking spaces in the western and eastern sections of the Bell Street Mall car park.

5.11 AIR CONDITIONING - THE CENTRE IVANHOE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Upgrades to the air conditioning systems at The Centre Ivanhoe, have been identified in the Council’s Capital Works and Initiatives Programme for financial years 2015 – 2019. The upgrade works involve three distinct stages: 1) 2) 3)
Stage 1: The Great Hall Stage 2: Entrance Foyer, Streeton and Condor Rooms Stage 3: Withers and McCubbin Rooms
The works identified in Stage 1, was completed as part of the Council’s 2015/16 Capital Works and Initiative Programme, with Stage 2 originally programmed to be completed this financial year (2016-17) and stage 3 programmed to be completed in the 2017-18 financial year. Tenders were sought for the Stage 2 works on the 6 August 2016, with a separate price for the Stage 3 works as an option, should funding be available or should tender price received allow for both stages to be completed. Tenders received for Stage 2 works were $400,000 to $500,000 over the adopted 2016-17 budget of $300,000. This is because the original cost estimates which were completed during the design phase, did not fully factor in the associated costs of building works required, including, the strengthening of the roofing structure to cater for additional plant loads. Due to the operational requirements of The Centre Ivanhoe and the contractors ability to procure the required equipment to undertake the works during the 2016/17 Christmas break, Council Officers recommend that: • • •
Stage 3 (McCubbin and Withers rooms) be undertaken during December 2016 as part of the 2016/17 Capital Works and Initiatives Programme for a total value of $430,000, with the additional $130,000 required to be funded from reserve. Modified stage 2 works (Condor and Streeton Rooms) are proposed to be undertaken in December 2017 with a budget allocation of $610,000 for 2017/18 Capital Works and Initiatives Programme. The Centre Ivanhoe Entrance Foyer works are proposed to be undertaken as part of the 2018/19 Capital Works and Initiatives Programme, with a budget allocation of $175,000.
Resolution (CO2016/352) That Council: 1.
Approves the works to the upgrade of the air conditioning systems at the Centre Ivanhoe be reprioritised so that works to the Withers and McCubbin rooms be undertaken as part of the 2016/2017 Capital Works and Initiatives Programme.
2.
Allocate an addition of $130,000 to the 2016/2017 Capital Works & Initiatives budget to be funded from reserves, to allow for the air conditioning upgrade works in the Withers and McCubbin rooms to be completed this financial year.
