1. PETITIONS 1.1
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL TO FUND THE CONTINUATION OF JETS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
Ms Vita Ryan spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A petition with 25 signatures has been received. The petition prayer is as follows: “We the residents of Banyule formally write to Council to raise our concerns and find a suitable solution for the continuation of the JETS Program and services.
JETS services provides a range of services and unique programs to youth including persons with disabilities. Programs have been running for several years do a diverse range of young people. Currently the future of JETS is uncertain which has implications for participants and also for a large number of persons seeking to obtain placement and services. We as parents and guardians of teenagers and young adults with disabilities bring to your attention the significant benefits that JETS services provides to participants and ask that the JETS program be financially supported by Banyule City Council with the intent that services can be continued in the future. For a modest investment by council, BCC shall be supporting a unique program that has serviced a diverse range of local residents. JETS provides a range services from ages 13 to 25 to over 40 participants and has been at maximum capacity for several years. All participants participate in achieving life, social and other goals that are not available from other programs or service providers. Many goals involve the development of social integration which is a significant step for many young people to feel connected with their wider community and work towards greater life skills. A significant benefit to JETS participants is continuation of activities which foster the social integration and lifelong learning approach, important aspects in people affected by significant disability. In addition JETS have due to demand for its services been unable to provide additional places for a significant number of youth in the area for some time. At the Banyule Disability and Inclusion Advisory committee meeting held on April 13th 2016, three major concerns were raised specific to the relevancy of the JETS program within NDIS, points raised are; 1.
no youth specific social programs for transition
2.
the impact of change on vulnerable young people at a critical life stage

people are seeking one on one support in individual profiling and goal setting.
We therefore ask for BCC to explore options and financial support to provide for the continuation of services given the difficulty faced under current guidelines for the NDIS which limit the financial capacity of individual packages.� This petition has been received as the landscape of disability services in Australia is changing due to the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and associated disability reforms. Through the implementation of the NDIS, existing funding arrangements and service provision will undergo significant changes. This includes a direct impact on services currently provided by Council that are wholly or partially funded through other levels of government. Resolution (CO2016/124) That Council: 1.
Receives and notes the petition.
2.
Strongly advocates to both the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Disability Insurance Agency for continued funding to support an extended transition period beyond December 2016 for current Jets Creative Arts clients until appropriate choices are available for Jets clients to receive similar services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

RUSHWORTH STREET AND REEVES STREET, WATSONIA - POSSIBLE TREATMENT OPTIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At its meeting on 7 March 2016 Council resolved to investigate road safety concerns at the intersection of Rushworth Street and Reeves Street, Watsonia. Investigations found that the speed and volume of traffic in Rushworth Street are within acceptable limits and consistent with other local residential roads of similar status within the municipality. There are many locations in Banyule which have more significant traffic issues and have a higher priority for road safety consideration. Notwithstanding, due to the width and alignment of the intersection, modifications can be made to reduce the speed of turning vehicles and improve pedestrian facilities. It is proposed that alterations to the intersection layout be trialed using rubber kerbing and line marking, funded at a cost of $12,000 as part of the 2016-17 budget. Resolution (CO2016/125) That this item be deferred to a future meeting of Council. Moved: Cr Rick Garotti Seconded: Cr Mark Di Pasquale

This draft document has been prepared to give long-term strategic direction for the coordination and development of programs, activities, services and facilities to support children, youth and families across the 0 – 25 years age continuum in the municipality. The draft Child, Youth and Family Plan 2016 – 2020 has been shaped by community input and local expertise. Information collected through consultation to date has been used to develop the Plan’s objectives as well as the supporting strategic directions and actions. The draft is now ready for further community consultation. Responses to the draft will help inform a final Child, Youth and Family Plan. Resolution (CO2016/126) That Council 1.

2016-2017 COMMUNITY SPORTS INFRASTRUCTURE FUND APPLICATION OUTCOME
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Community Sports Infrastructure Fund (CSIF) for 2016-2017 was released on 19 July 2015. At the meeting of 19 October 2015, Council resolved to endorse seven (7) projects, based on the best fit with the grant funding criteria and the potential to address the highest community need. The following four (4) applications were successful: • • • •

An allocation of $555,000 is required as matching funding for three of the projects within the 2016/17 draft budget. The matching allocation of $1,277,638 for Ivanhoe Park Pavilion has already been allocated in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years. The 2016/17 CSIF will fund $337,500 towards the project through State Government funding and $445,000 will be provided from local clubs and external organisations. On 12 April, the Minister for Sport John Eren also officially opened the 2017-2018 Community Sports Infrastructure Fund.

DISABILITY REVIEW - PROVISION OF SERVICES WITHIN THE NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME (NDIS)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council has been conducting a review of its disability services in preparation for the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Banyule from July 1st 2016. The NDIS will directly impact the funding Council currently receives for some of its Disability Services. The review has been designed to assist Council to identify how it best supports people with a disability into the future within a NDIS environment. Council is required to decide whether it registers as a NDIS scheme provider. This report outlines the key considerations that have emerged from the review and presents recommendations related to Council’s ongoing role in supporting people with a disability. Some of the key considerations in deciding whether to register as a provider include: • • •
Council’s most effective role in supporting people with a disability the increased cost to Council of providing services within the NDIS whether Council is placed to be a specialist provider of its current disability services within an NDIS environment
The report recommends that Council not register as a National Disability Insurance Scheme service provider. Resolution (CO2016/128) That Council; 1.
Not register as a National Disability Insurance Scheme service provider.
2.
Assist the transition of current Home and Community Care clients that will be eligible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme through the support of a dedicated transition officer.
3.
Strongly advocates to both the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Disability Insurance Agency for continued funding to support an extended transition period beyond December 2016 for current Jets Creative Arts clients until appropriate choices are available for Jets clients to receive similar services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT POLICY 2016-2020
Mr Roger Fyfe, Ms Robyn Roberts, Ms Fiona Millar and Ms Caroline Long spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Residential Parking Permit Policy 2016-2020 (RPPP) provides the framework to manage the availability of on-street parking spaces in residential areas through a Residential Parking Permit Scheme. This allows residents and their visitors a greater opportunity to park in areas of high demand, in accordance with the key directions set out in the policy. The RPPP defines who is eligible for a parking permit, the type and number of parking permits available, where permits allow holders to park, and the cost of parking permits. The RPPP includes an expansion of the eligibility requirements to allow new medium density developments (no more than four dwellings on a lot) access to parking permits, the introduction of a free residential parking permit and the introduction of a residential permit area system, which will allow permit holders to park on-street within a defined area. Consultation on the RPPP was conducted during March 2016, with 101 submissions received. A multi-signatory letter with 159 signatures was also received during the consultation period. A varied response both for and against the RPPP across a number of themes was received, including commentary on the provision of trader and staff parking permits, limiting non-residential parking within residential streets and the concerns on the introduction of a new residential permit area system. The feedback highlighted the importance of parking to the community, and the wide range of views on how parking within the municipality should be managed. In consideration of the feedback received, the wording of the RPPP has been updated and the residential parking permit areas have been further refined to ensure that each parking permit area does not promote relocating parking from one location within the parking permit area to another location.

CHANDLER HIGHWAY WIDENING
Mr Dennis O’Connell spoke to the item. Cr Mark Di Pasquale left the Chamber at 9.58pm. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The State Government made an announcement on 28 January 2016 that it will adopt VicRoads’ recommendation on widening Chandler Highway, Alphington which includes a new six lane bridge over the Yarra River on the west side of the existing bridge. Council has received letters from both Yarra City Council and Darebin City Council advising of their respective Council resolutions against the proposal. The scope of the project appears to be inconsistent with the objectives of the Transport Integration Act (2009) and Banyule’s Integrated Transport Plan, as such it is considered reasonable to request a review of the project scope and an investigation of the concerns raised by both the Yarra City Council and Darebin City Council.
Cr Mark Di Pasquale returned to the Chamber at 10.00pm. Resolution (CO2016/131) That Council: 1.

Mr David Mulholland and Ms Natasha Reifschneider spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY VicRoads is seeking Council endorsement of Victoria’s revised Over-Dimensional vehicle network to include Metropolitan Ring Road, Greensborough Highway, Rosanna Road, and Banksia Street. Formally recognising Rosanna Road as an Over-Dimensional Route is inconsistent with VicRoads efforts to alleviate Rosanna Road residents’ concerns and Council’s position regarding the provision of a direct orbital route from the Metropolitan Ring Road to Eastlink to reduce through traffic and improve safety and amenity concerns in Banyule, particularly Rosanna Road. Resolution (CO2016/132) That Council: 1.
Writes to VicRoads confirming that it does not endorse Greensborough Highway, Rosanna Road and Banksia Street being included in VicRoads’ revised OverDimensional vehicle network.

WATSONIA RAILWAY STATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND AMENITY IMPROVEMENTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At its meeting on 18 April 2016, Council sought a report outlining the costs of undertaking a survey of local residents to identify opportunities for potential improvements to Watsonia Railway Station to assist in future advocacy for the improvements including the installation of a lift, improvements to toilet facilities and bicycle facilities. Watsonia Railway Station is a State Government asset managed by Metro Trains under a PTV lease. It is a premium station with ramp access to the central platform. The Station has good access from the arterial road and bicycle networks and forms a very significant link in Banyule’s transport network. Toilet facilities are provided on the platform and PTV is currently constructing a new Parkiteer bicycle parking cage. The likely cost for resources associated with conducting a survey of local residents in Watsonia, Watsonia North, Bundoora and Yallambie to determine potential improvements is estimated to be $23,000.

54-62 MAIN STREET, GREENSBOROUGH - PROPOSED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT (P1024/2015)
Mr Kevin Biaggini spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY It is proposed to construct a mixed use development across 9 levels including 45 dwellings, residential building (63 serviced apartments), 2 office tenancies (including a bank), restaurant and 3 retail tenancies, reduction in car parking and use of the land for a residential building. The height of the building would exceed the preferred height by at least 11 metres at the front of the site and reduction of 39 car parking spaces is proposed. It is considered that the proposal, in its current form, should not be supported. However, in response to the concerns raised, the applicant has provided a concept plan which reduces the height of the building by 2 levels and sets the upper level further from the street frontage to ensure that what is viewed within the street is substantially compliant with the preferred height. In addition, the revised concept includes an additional basement level for car parking and reduces the number of dwellings and serviced apartments therefore seeking a smaller reduction in onsite car parking. The revised concept also introduces more appropriate materials and colours, consistent with the objectives of the Main Street precinct within the Activity Centre Zone.

PROACTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF REPLACEMENT TREE PLANTING - RESULTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Approximately 400 planning permits are issued for tree removal on private properties throughout the Municipality each year, and this number is growing. The replacement of the canopy trees with indigenous canopy trees ensures the long term benefit of vegetation on private land to Banyule’s Urban Forest continues. An Audit of 20% of the 400 permits issued in 2014 has recently been undertaken. Of the 80 inspections, only 27% were found to have replaced the vegetation removed. Of those, it was found that only seven of the plantings were in good condition, and 12 were in fair condition. Banyule’s neighbourhood character is compromised when non-compliance with conditions is extensive, or the long term viability of vegetation is compromised. The degradation of the canopy tree cover will have long-term environmental, social and economic risks, and undermine the integrity and vitality of Banyule’s landscape and environment. Whilst the compliance numbers are low, the Audit findings encouragingly revealed that when a combination of education and investigation techniques is used, the level of compliance increases. It is considered that refinement of the inspection regime should include permits issued in the previous year, but to also include permits issued 5 years prior is to ensure the long-term replacement planting is surviving and is being maintained. It is also considered that further opportunities for education be undertaken, through dissemination of information and advice on both the regular inspection program to increase compliance, and on caring and protecting trees to reach maturity. Resolution (CO2016/137) That Council: 1. Notes the outcomes of the Proactive Enforcement of Replacement Tree Planting Audit. 2.
Enact a procedure to schedule regular proactive inspections for compliance with permit conditions on properties which have had permits issued for tree removal in the 12 months prior, in accordance with the Planning and Building Enforcement Framework.
3.
Expand the inspection program to schedule inspections of properties issued with a removal permit issued 5 years prior, (within a 12 month period), to check the level of compliance with conditions for trees to remain in place over the long term.
4.
Undertake a review to ascertain whether the replacement planting ratios and permit conditions are adequate to ensure the long-term contribution of vegetation on private properties to Banyule’s Urban Forest.

PUBLIC OPEN SPACE PLAN
Mr Roger Fyfe and Mr Dennis O’Connell spoke to the item. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A draft Public Open Space Plan has been prepared after undertaking extensive public consultation. It is anticipated that the draft plan will update the previous Open Space Strategy which was developed in 2007. A key aim of the plan is the provision of public open space within a 5 minute walk for residents for the purpose of community health and wellbeing. The plan’s objectives replicate the six pillars which form the basis for the draft Melbourne Metropolitan Public Open Space Strategy, currently being prepared by the Metropolitan Planning Authority. These are: • • • • • •
Quantity Quality Access /Connectivity Equitable distribution Diversity Sustainably
The plan includes strategic actions that are intended to guide decision making in relation to public open over the next 15 years. It is proposed that the plan be placed on public exhibition for a period of four weeks to enable the community to review the proposed strategic actions prior to the plan being presented to Council for adoption.

4.10 GREENSBOROUGH WAR MEMORIAL SCULPTURES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On 9 October 2015, Council resolved (CO2015/356) to apply for $50,000 funding through the Federal Government, ANZAC Centenary Arts and Culture Fund, to support the Greensborough War Memorial Park Sculpture Project, which seeks to renew the park sculptures. Officers were notified on 12 April 2016 that Council was unsuccessful in its application for the ANZAC Centenary Arts and Culture Fund. The total project cost was estimated at $158,000. Council’s commitment to the project was $83,000 ($60,000 cash which is included in the draft 2016/17 budget and $23,000 in kind which includes officer time). Greensborough RSL applied for $25,000 via the State Government’s Restoring Community War Memorials and Avenues of Honour Grants Program however the application was also unsuccessful. The projects development was accelerated to take advantage of the above funding opportunity and to tie in with both the WW1 centenary commemorations and the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. Council’s Public Art Policy is currently being developed and is scheduled to be presented to Council for adoption in August 2016. This policy is significant as it will provide further advice for Council in relation to how to appropriately respond to public art which has reached the end of its life. Given the unsuccessful funding announcement it is suggested that Council continue with the project using the allocated funds of $60,000 listed in the 2016/17 Council draft budget and undertake the consultation and design phase of the project. The consultation phase will include the development of a website which will be used to collect and present community stories and document the progress of the project. The artists will also consult with key stakeholders through meetings and interviews with veterans, families, veteran support groups and local historical societies. Once the concepts are developed a further report will be tabled to Council for consideration of the implementation phase. The concept plans will be revealed in an on-site event with the RSL and greater community. Resolution (CO2016/139) That Council: 1.
Note the unsuccessful outcome of the application to the Federal Government, ANZAC Centenary Arts and Culture Fund, for $50,000 to support the Greensborough War Memorial Park Sculpture Project.
2.
Note that the Greensborough RSL was unsuccessful in obtaining State Government funding of $25,000 through the Restoring Community War Memorials and Avenues of Honour Grants Program towards the project.

OLYMPIC PARK - SPORTS FIELD TRAINING LIGHTS UPGRADE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Heidelberg United Football Club (HUFC) has called the Olympic Park precinct home for over 35 years. The HUFC is now part of the Men’s and Women’s National Premier League Victoria which is one level below the A-League and provides a clear pathway to elite competition. The supply of electricity to the area surrounding Olympic Park has been an ongoing issue for some time which may be caused by the number of infill residential development occurring in the immediate area. This issue is outside the jurisdiction of Council and HUFC however it has a profound effect on the ability for the HUFC to safely accommodate the training needs of its members. This report specifically relates to the existing training lights which are used for women and junior training. A short term solution and can be delivered for an estimated $45,000 $60,000. The HUFC have provided the technical documentation to deliver this work which has been reviewed and approved by officers. The HUFC have requested Council consider an allocation of funds to deliver this project in the short term. While it is unusual for Council to consider a funding allocation outside of the budget cycle, on this occasions it is appropriate given the issue is created by outside influences, the preferred solution is not achievable in the short term, the HUFC will fund the majority of the project and the outcome will benefit predominantly junior and women members within the HUFC providing for safe training conditions. Officers believe a contribution of $20,000 toward the cost of this project is appropriate which will be available at the completion of the project to Council’s satisfaction. In order for the project to proceed as soon as possible, Council will be required to consider an allocation from the 2015/16 capital works program. There are sufficient surplus funds within the program to accommodate this allocation. Resolution (CO2016/140) That Council: 1.
Reallocate $20,000 from the 2015/16 capital works program to assist the Heidelberg United Football Club upgrade the sports field training lights at Olympic Park.

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REPORT - 31 MARCH 2016
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Quarterly Financial Management Report for March 2016 is presented in accordance with section 138 of the Local Government Act 1989 which requires quarterly statements to Council on the budgeted revenue and expenditure for the financial year with the actual revenue and expenditure to date. Operational Performance: Banyule City Council (BCC) has forecast to deliver an operating surplus of $6.815m. An Underlying surplus of $3.431m for 2015/16 after adjusting for capital grants and capital contributions. The operating surplus is $4.898m higher than the previous quarter figure and represents a projected increase against the adopted budget of $4.086m Income and expenditure are favourable to budget by $3.013m and $1.073m respectively. The significant contributions to the surplus are due to: • • • • •
A net gain on the disposal of assets after adjusting for property expenses; Investment income due to holding greater cash balances and obtaining competitive investment returns; Better than expected Public Open Space contributions from completed developments during 2015/16; Green waste disposal and waste recovery centre operating costs; and Fleet management costs including fuel and insurance premiums.
The Victoria Grants Commission (Financial Assistance Grants) revenue in the current year $2.284 million partially offsets the above (and other) favourable movements due to receiving the 2015/16 payment in the 2014/15 financial year. KEY variances are explained throughout the report under each activity type. (Refer Appendix: Profit & Loss Summary and Graphs – 31 March 2016) Capital Works and Initiatives Performance: At the end of March 2016 a total of $17.289m excluding committals has been spent on capital works and initiatives against the approved year to date budget of $34.282m (includes carry-forward projects).

Capital Works and Initiatives planned spend for the year is projected to be $42.225m. The reduction in forecast against budget is partially due to projects being carried forward into the next financial year totalling $14.616m. (Refer Appendix: Capital Works and Initiatives Report – 31 March 2016) Resolution(CO2016/146) That Council: 1.
Note that the Banyule City Council (BCC) has forecast to deliver an operating surplus of $6.815m and this represents a projected operating surplus increase of $4.086m against adopted budget of $2.729m. (An Underlying surplus of $3.431m for 2015/16 after adjusting for capital grants and capital contributions).
