2. PETITIONS
2.1 PETITION - EAGLEMONT SUB-STATION
Mr Peter Camilleri, Mr John Walkley and Ms Judy Hughes spoke to the item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A petition with 52 signatures has been received from residents in and adjacent to
Sherwood Road, Eaglemont.
The intent of the petition is to raise with Council, local residents’ concerns about the Level
Crossing Removal Authority’s proposed construction of an electrical sub-station opposite
31-33 Sherwood Road, Eaglemont.
The Level Crossing Removal Authority has indicated that the construction of the sub-
station at this location is an essential component of the Hurstbridge Railway Line
improvements. The Authority is proposing to construct the sub-station on VicTrack land.
There have been several meetings between the Authority, residents and Council
representatives to minimise the impact of the sub-station, including the provision of
suitable landscaping.
Resolution (CO2017/225)
That Council:
1. Receives and notes the petition.
2. Writes to the Level Crossing Removal Authority advising that:
(a) Council is not satisfied that the substation on Sherwood Road needs to be
located in the proposed position and requests evidence that it cannot be
relocated to a more suitable location within close proximity of the Ivanhoe
Station on VicTrack land.
(b) If sufficient evidence is not provided in response to point (a), then Council will
oppose the location of the Sub-Station on Sherwood Road as it is not in
character with the nature and amenity of the tree-lined Street and will affect the
residential amenity of the area; and
3. If sufficient evidence is not provided in response to 2(a) above, writes to the Minister
for Transport and the State Member for Ivanhoe urging their intervention and
advising them of Council's opposition to the proposed location of the Sub-Station on
Sherwood Road and willingness to negotiate approval for a new site on VicTrack
Land near Ivanhoe Station as per item 2(a).
4. Advises the primary petitioner and all other local Members of Parliament of Council's
resolution.
Moved: Cr Peter Castaldo
Seconded: Cr Craig Langdon CARRIED

Cr Peter Castaldo returned to the Chamber at 7.30pm.
3. PEOPLE – COMMUNITY STRENGTHENING AND SUPPORT
3.1 WATSONIA POP UP PARK
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Watsonia Pop Up Park (the Park), was a temporary project to help implement Picture
Watsonia, Council’s vision for the future of the Watsonia Neighbourhood Activity Centre.
The Park was in place from 25 March to 23 April 2017 and required temporary closure of
Ibbottson Street. It was designed as a diverse, attractive and interactive space for people
and enabled various events and activities.
The Park was well-attended and enjoyed. Community feedback was overwhelmingly
supportive for a public open space in the heart of Watsonia.
Some further testing of community feedback for a permanent road closure and park at
Ibbottson Street is recommended. This could be done if Council decides to trial a
temporary skate park at the site in January 2018.
Initial scoping has been done for a temporary street-style skate park with beginner and
experienced obstacles, with supervised programming and workshops. Run over a 2 to 3
weeks in October it would be a cost effective way to further test the road closure to deliver
a much needed recreational and social resource to youth.
Resolution (CO2017/226)
That Council:
1. Notes the success of the Watsonia Pop Up Park.
2. Writes to members of the Community Working Group, Watsonia Traders Association
and Watsonia Library to thank them for their contribution to the Watsonia Pop Up
Park.
3. Support a further temporary road closure at Ibbotson Street for about three weeks in
January 2018, to support set-up and operation of a temporary skate park.
4. Continue to explore a permanent road closure in the Watsonia Neighbourhood
Activity Centre.
5. Investigate and report back on establishing a properly paved path for the current
heavily utilised "unofficial” dirt path that cuts across from the pedestrian crossing at
Watsonia Road through to the concrete areas next to the Watsonia Library.

3.2 BANYULE EMPLOYMENT INITIATIVES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Whilst Banyule’s overall published unemployment rate is not significant compared with
other municipalities, its pockets of high disadvantage which sit well below the State
average, are almost entirely disguised by its areas of affluence. As a result, headline
figures suggesting that Banyule does not have unemployment and underemployment
issues are misleading.
In response to Council’s newly endorsed Council Plan and to help guide its effort and
leadership in the labour market, it is considered appropriate for Council to establish a jobs
taskforce comprising of local stakeholders to guide the development of regular networking
opportunities, greater collaboration and reporting of progress amongst stakeholders with
vested interests, along with a municipal wide action plan that complements Council’s
Economic Development Plan.
Resolution (CO2017/227)
That:
1. Council aspires to create 100 jobs for young people in Banyule with disabilities and
from disadvantaged communities over the next three years.
2. Council establishes a localised "Banyule Jobs Taskforce" that compliments Council’s
existing Economic Development Plan and 2017-2021 Council Plan and to advocate
to State and Federal Governments for support of Banyule employment initiatives.
3. The Banyule Jobs Taskforce actively drive the following key local jobs initiatives:
- A Local Jobs and Internship Program in partnership with SACOV and the
Victorian Government.
- A social enterprise café at the new Rosanna Station in partnership with the
Victorian Government that is to be created following the level crossing removal
works.
- A social enterprise café at Ivanhoe at the new Ivanhoe Community Library
following its development.
- Creation of apprenticeships and job opportunities for young people with
disabilities as part of the redevelopment of the Ivanhoe Library.
4. Council appoints Cr Rick Garotti to Chair the "Banyule Jobs Taskforce”.
5. Requests officers to provide a briefing to Councillors on the work Banyule City
Council is undertaking to create, support and nurture apprentices across our range of
services. This may help inform the future priorities of the "Banyule Jobs Taskforce."
6. A future report be prepared by officers to consider the resource implications and
proposed initiatives recommended by the Taskforce, in Council’s 2018/19 annual
budget process.

3.3 ADOPTION OF THE DOMESTIC ANIMAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 2017-2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Domestic Animal Act 1994 requires Council to prepare a Domestic Animal
Management Plan (DAM Plan) at 4 year intervals. The previous DAM plans for Councils
expired last year. Council must now complete its 2017-2021 DAM Plan by 3 November
2017.
A draft of the Plan has been submitted for Council consideration and has been distributed
for public consultation prior to Council adopting the final Plan.
Resolution (CO2017/228)
That Council:
1. Adopt the Banyule Domestic Animal Management Plan 2017-2021 (attached).
2. Forward a copy of the adopted 2017-2021 Domestic Animal Management Plan to the
Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources by the due
date 3 November 2017.
3. a) Develop a Communications Strategy and Action Plan for the Domestic Animal
Management Plan that provides opportunities for Council to be in regular
contact with the full range and diversity of pet owners and stakeholders;
b) Receive a report to consider the adoption of a Communications Strategy and
Action Plan for the Domestic Animal Management Plan.

3.4 SAFER BANYULE PLAN 2017 - 2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Council has worked with the local community and other key stakeholders to prepare the
draft Safer Banyule Plan 2017-2021.
The Plan is aimed at continuing to improve and maintain Community Safety in our
municipality, by creating places where people can go about their daily activities without
fear, risk or harm of injury and respond to perceptions of community safety along with
reducing and preventing crime, and building strong cohesive communities.
The draft Safer Banyule Plan has been shaped by community input and local expertise,
literature review and the analysis of crime statistics and industry trends. Information
collected through research analysis and consultation to date has been used to develop the
plan’s underpinning guiding principles, priorities and four year action plan.
The draft Safer Banyule Plan 2017-2021 is now ready for further community consultation.
Feedback and responses received on the draft plan will help inform a final Safer Banyule
Plan 2017-2021.
These minutes are circulated subject to confirmation by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to be held on 30 October 2017 8MINUTES ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 16 OCTOBER 2017

crime in the Heidelberg West and Heidelberg Heights area, to be held at the
Harmony Centre or other suitable venue within the area.
6. Council write to the Premier, the Minister of Police, and all Local Members of
Parliament, seeking feedback on progress they are aware of in relation to the

3.5 THE BOULEVARD CHRISTMAS LIGHTS RISK MANAGEMENT
Mr Rowan Harrison, Mr Noel Spink and Mr Ross Elliott spoke to the item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Boulevard Christmas Lights is a very popular community event which has been
operating in Ivanhoe for the past 60 years. The Boulevard Christmas Lights is a resident
initiative and Council provides logistical support with traffic management, portable toilet
provision, waste management, event coordination, communication with residents and
evaluation at the conclusion of the event each year. The net cost to Council to support the
event in 2016 was approximately $44,000 spread over fifteen (15) nights.
Approximately 75,000 visitors (average 5000 per night) attended the 2016 event. The
Boulevard Ivanhoe hosts the event with vehicles travelling one-way heading east on one
half of the road. The other half of the road is occupied by pedestrians with no barriers
separating them from vehicles. Recent world events (including the Bourke Street incident)
has heightened concern for the way public gatherings are managed.
To mitigate identified risks a number of changes are proposed which include moving
vendors and performers to Ivanhoe Park and increasing the event support, infrastructure
and traffic controllers. These changes will have a budget impact of $66,000 in the 2017/18
financial year and this report seeks approval for this additional expenditure.
Council has also engaged a risk management company to provide an objective review of
the logistical support for the event having regard for the Federal Government’s recent
launch of Australia's Strategy for Protecting Crowded Places from Terrorism. Once this
review is complete, a further report will be presented to Council.
Since this report was deferred on 18 September 2017, Council has met with leaders from
the 1st Eaglemont Scout Group and 1st Ivanhoe Sea Scouts Group to discuss their
relocation to Ivanhoe Park should they be successful in their involvement in the 2017
Boulevard Christmas Lights event.
Cr Garotti left the Chamber at 7:52 pm.
Cr Garotti returned to the Chamber at 7:55 pm.
Resolution (CO2017/230)
That Council:
1. Allocate an additional $41,000 in the 2017/18 Operational Budget to support the
increase in event support and a further risk assessment.
2. Allocate an additional $25,000 in the 2017/18 Capital Works Budget to improve
pedestrian accessibility to the south eastern corner of Ivanhoe Park.
3. Receive a further report to consider the outcome of the external risk management
review for The Boulevard Christmas Lights event.

5.1 NORTH EAST LINK - COUNCIL RESPONSE TO THE NORTH EAST LINK
TECHNICAL SUMMARY
Mr Kevin Biaggini, Mr Dennis O’Connell, Mr Doug Munro, Mr David Mulholland and Ms
Diane Williamson spoke to the item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Corridor Option C is strongly supported as the preferred option for the North East Link.
This is consistent with Council’s long held position recognising the need to complete
Melbourne’s Ring Road as a direct orbital link from the Metropolitan Ring Road to Eastlink
at Ringwood.
On 7 August 2017, the North East Link Authority released a Technical Summary identifying
four preferred Corridor Options, and held ten drop-in community sessions over a two week
period in mid to late August. All four Corridor Options impact on the City of Banyule,
although Corridor Options C and D are towards the municipality’s northern boundary.
Whichever option is chosen, Banyule is in the unique position of being impacted by all
options, to varying degrees.
A response to the Technical Summary has been prepared for Council consideration.
Corridor Option C is preferred as it provides an orbital connection from the Metropolitan
Ring Road at Greensborough to EastLink, south of Ringwood. Corridor Option C is
considered to provide greater regional benefits and better meet the North East Link project
criteria. Corridor Option A, which provides connection from the Metropolitan Ring Road at
Greensborough, through Banyule to connect with the Eastern Freeway at Bulleen is not
supported.
Consistent with Council’s North East Link Project Action Plan adopted in April 2017, the
Banyule North East Link Transport Forum was held in May 2017. A second Forum was
held on 6 September 2017. The majority of attendees supported Corridor Option C.
A key message for the Government is what the community are saying. Council has
conducted a postcard survey of 52,000 residential properties inviting residents to select
their preferred option and to share their views on the options. Of the nearly 8,000
responses 68% of residents do not support Corridor Option A with the strongest
preference being for Corridor Option C.
These minutes are circulated subject to confirmation by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to be held on 30 October 2017 11MINUTES ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 16 OCTOBER 2017
Council has initiated a North East Link Group of Councils, comprising Banyule,
Boroondara, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Nillumbik and Yarra Ranges, to share
information and advocate to the North East Link Authority for the best outcomes for the
north east region.
Corridor Option C is strongly supported by the Victorian Transport Association.
Council analysis of the North East Link Technical Summary indicates that Corridor Option
A does not meet the North East Link project criteria on a number of measures, including,
but not limited to:
o Inadequate capacity at the Eastern Freeway to cater for any additional traffic
travelling west and inadequate capacity at the Mullum Mullum / Melba tunnels for
traffic travelling east.
o Corridor Option A mostly catering for commuter traffic which is contrary to the NELA
objective for the North East Link to improve freight efficiency.
o Community Severance impacts on the communities of Greensborough, Watsonia
and Macleod.
o Potential increased traffic volumes and traffic noise on arterial roads and the local
road network.
o Potential environmental impacts on Banyule’s parklands, reserves and green open
space including its effects on the State significant Banyule Flats and Warringal
Parklands.
Resolution (CO2017/231)
That Council:
1. Notes Banyule community’s support for Corridor Option C.
2. Strongly supports Corridor Option C which is considered to provide greater regional
benefits and better meet the North East Link objectives.
3. Rejects Corridor Option A as not meeting the North East Link objectives on a
number of measures, including but not limited to:
a) Inadequate capacity at the Eastern Freeway to cater for any additional traffic
travelling west and inadequate capacity at the EastLink Mullum Mullum / Melba
tunnels for traffic travelling east.
b) Propensity of Corridor A to cater for mostly commuter traffic which is contrary
to the North East Link Authority objective for the North East Link to move
freight more efficiently.
c) Impacts of severance on the communities of Greensborough, Watsonia and
Macleod.
d) Potential increased traffic volumes and traffic noise on arterial roads and the
local road network.
e) Potential environmental impacts on Banyule’s parklands, reserves and green
open space including its effects on Banyule Flats and Warringal Parklands.
4. Endorses Council’s response to the North East Link Technical Summary at
Attachment 1 and forwards a copy to the North East Link Authority, Premier of
Victoria, Minister for Transport and local Members of Parliament.
These minutes are circulated subject to confirmation by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to be held on 30 October 2017 12MINUTES ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 16 OCTOBER 2017
5. Notes Council’s list of complementary projects (Refer Section 5 of Submission to
North East Link Authority in Attachment 1) and requests the North East Link
Authority incorporate them into the project.
6. Develops a Resourcing Plan and Communication Strategy to promote Council’s
support for Corridor Option C and associated transport projects in the north east of
Melbourne.
7. Notes Council’s letter to the North East Link Authority of 26 September 2017
requesting the release of all available technical data used to compile the North East
Link Technical Summary, to provide a greater understanding of the background and
outcomes of the document – Attachment 2.
8. Notes the Victorian Transport Association (VTA) support for Corridor Option C –
Attachment 3.
9. Notes the correspondence received from FairLink (community group) and Mr Doug
Munro which concludes Corridor A does not achieve the Project objectives.

5.9 NORTH EAST LINK - UPDATED COMMUNITY CONSULTATION INFORMATION
AND CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE NORTH EAST LINK AUTHORITY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As part of its community consultation on the North East Link Corridor Options, Council
conducted a postcard survey of 52,000 residential properties inviting residents to select
their preferred option and to share their views on the options.
At the time of writing the Council Report North East Link – Council Response to the North
East Link Technical Summary, 7,474 valid responses had been received with the strongest
preference being for Corridor Option C, with 68% of residents preferring a corridor option
other than Corridor Option A.
This report provides an update to the survey results. An additional 1,047 valid responses
have been received. These responses are generally consistent with earlier responses and
there has been no change in the percentage of residents supporting each corridor option,
with the strongest preference still being for Corridor Option C.
As noted in the Council Report North East Link – Council Response to the North East Link
Technical Summary, Council wrote to the North East Link Authority on 26 September 2017
(Attachment 1) requesting the release of all available technical data and clarity on 16
matters ranging from Traffic Modelling Reports to Tolling and Pricing Strategies used to
compile the North East Link Technical Summary.
A response from the North East Link Authority was received on 11 October 2017 and is
available in Attachment 2. The response provides no further information and indicated a
meeting was scheduled with Council officers for 12 October 2017 to ‘further discuss the
project status and the process for establishing future collaboration and Council input into
the development of the project’. At the meeting the Authority stated in response to the
majority of matters that further technical studies and assessments are being undertaken
and they are not in a position to release information. Additional technical meetings have
been arranged at which further information will be sought.
These minutes are circulated subject to confirmation by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to be held on 30 October 2017 13MINUTES ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 16 OCTOBER 2017
Resolution (CO2017/232)
That Council:
1. Notes the updated survey results and Banyule community’s continued support for
Corridor Option C.
2. Notes the North East Link Authority response to Council’s letter of 26 September
2017 requesting release of all available technical data used to compile the North
East Link Technical Summary.
3. Notes that further meetings have been arranged with the North East Link Authority at
which additional information will be sought.

5.2 HURSTBRIDGE RAILWAY LINE IMPROVEMENTS - LOWER PLENTY ROAD
LEVEL CROSSING REMOVAL AND TRACK DUPLICATION - PROJECT UPDATE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Level Crossing Removal Authority (the Authority) is progressing with the Hurstbridge
railway line improvements which involves track duplication between Heidelberg and
Rosanna and the Lower Plenty Road level crossing removal, including construction of a
new Rosanna Railway Station. Train operations using the duplicated tracks, Lower Plenty
Road railway bridge and new Rosanna Railway Station are due to commence in February
2018, with completion of the works in late 2018.
The Authority’s Chief Executive Office has responded to Council’s letter of 8 August 2017
requesting information regarding issues considered at the Council meeting on 7 August
2017 (Attachment 1). The current situation is outlined below.
The Authority has notified Council that it will:
Provide a shared user path on the east side of Ellesmere Parade between Lower
Plenty Road and Davies Street (subject to Council ownership and maintenance).
Construct improvements at Turnham Avenue including a 2.5m wide shared user
path on the west side of Turnham Avenue between Lower Plenty Road and Station
Street (subject to Council ownership and maintenance); altering the bus bay
locations on the west side of Turnham Avenue near Lower Plenty Road; providing
new bus shelters and passenger information signs; and providing a new raised
pedestrian crossing near the Rosanna Library.
Signalise the Lower Plenty Road/Beetham Parade intersection including relocating
the service road entry from Beetham Parade to Lower Plenty Road and creating a
new ‘Town Park’. The Authority will replace parking spaces lost due to the above
with replacement angled parking in Bellevue Avenue
Maintain the existing access arrangements at the Lower Plenty Road/ Ellesmere
Parade intersection subject to VicRoads approval.
Include the undercroft landscaping on the north of Lower Plenty Road consistent
with the concept design prepared by Council (subject to Council ownership and
maintenance).
These minutes are circulated subject to confirmation by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to be held on 30 October 2017 14MINUTES ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 16 OCTOBER 2017
Provide four toilets within the new Rosanna Station (opening times and maintenance
arrangements to be finalised).
Relocate the existing unprotected pedestrian crossing across the railway at St.
James Road with a protected crossing on the north side of St. James Road.
Continue to work with VicTrack and MTM to secure a social enterprise operator at
the new Rosanna Station kiosk.
Construct a new sub-station adjacent to the rail corridor in Sherwood Road,
Eaglemont. Discussions are continuing to minimise the impact of the sub-station on
local residents.
Construct a new 900mm diameter stormwater drain from the west side of the
Railway line adjacent 182 Hawdon Street to a new outlet into Salt Creek. Council
has previously agreed to contribute $100,000 towards the works and agreed to take
ownership and maintenance responsibility for the new drainage assets.
Provide protection to the 900mm diameter brick stormwater drain which crosses the
rail corridor north of Burgundy Street to ensure the drain is suitably protected and
not damaged by the works.
Incorporate minor improvements to the surface finish of the retaining walls on the
south side of Burgundy Street to provide a more consistent presentation.
Provide assistance to Rosanna and Heidelberg Traders Associations to minimise the
impact of the works on local traders and businesses.
The Authority has not agreed to:
Include a shared use path between Station Road, Rosanna and Burgundy Street,
Heidelberg.
Make significant improvements to the urban design and surface finish of the
proposed retaining walls to the north and south of Burgundy Street.
Re-locate the proposed sub-station to be constructed the road reserve in Somers
Avenue, Macleod. Council has received formal notification that the Authority will
acquire the required land under the Major Transport Project Facilitation Act.
Improvements to the drainage channel within the rail corridor which conveys
stormwater from Brown Street, Heidelberg into the drainage network.
The works have required considerable Council input and assessment including reviewing
over 170 design packages, reviewing traffic management plans, assessing the impact on
Council assets, monitoring the construction impacts and negotiating improvements to
ensure the best possible community outcome.
Construction will continue to impact on residents until the works are completed in late
2018. The closure of Rosanna Railway Station with bus replacement services from 9
October 2017 will impact on commuters until train operations return in March 2018.
Resolution (CO2017/233)
That Council:
1. Notes the Level Crossing Removal Authority’s progress on the Hurstbridge Railway
Line improvements.
2. Notes that the Level Crossing Removal Authority has constructed speed humps in

5.4 DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT WORKS AT THE IVANHOE PARK PAVILION,
IVANHOE EAST
Mr Mark Dixon spoke to the item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is to consider allocating an additional $120,000 for drainage improvement
works at Ivanhoe Park Pavilion.
In April 2017, Council completed the redevelopment of Ivanhoe Park Pavilion. The
proposed redevelopment included the introduction of four female friendly unisex accessible
change rooms, an expanded community social room with accessible toilet facilities and
umpire change room.
During the subsequent occupation of the building, a drainage issue has been identified
which requires further design and construction work to be undertaken.
The current level of the building is significantly lower than the topography of the
surrounding land. This causes water ingress into the building during the extreme rainfall
events which Banyule has experienced in recent times.
Council officers have developed a design solution that will alleviate the drainage issues
experienced in the extreme rainfall events by providing a network of drains and pathways
to divert water away from the building.
Council officers’ recommend that an additional $120,000 be allocated from the Asset
Renewal Reserve to undertake drainage improvement works at Ivanhoe Park Pavilion.
It is envisage that improvement works will commence in November 2017 with the
estimated completion in the middle of December 2017, should funding be approved.
Resolution (CO2017/235)
That Council allocate an additional funding of $120,000 from Asset Renewal Reserve to
undertake drainage improvement works at Ivanhoe Park Pavilion.

mitigates risk and promotes for growth into the future including addressing resourcing
capacity and providing for effective distribution of work within the business.

5.8 WATERMARC CHANGEROOM UPGRADE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
WaterMarc opened in September 2012 with the Traffik HP 500 installed as the pool
concourse and within all pool areas including the change rooms in the aquatic hall.
The concourse within all areas overtime has become inconsistent and discoloured after
significant use of the facility. While the current condition of the concourse is safe, it is
inconsistent with regards to slip resistance, is breaking up in spots, has different levels in
locations, aesthetically non - appealing and is becoming more difficult to clean and
maintain.
As a result of the high use of the facility the flooring needs improvement into the future.
This is also the case with the main pool change room areas.
Officers have researched and completed a preliminary project plan detailing the installation
of new flooring into the WaterMarc change rooms, family change rooms and first aid room
and minor refresh of change room fixtures including toilets, partitions, basins and painting
works.
This report seeks an allocation of funds from the WaterMarc Maintenance Reserve of
$130,000 to cover these works. If funding is approved then works will be programmed
before the Summer period when the pool area is at its peak usage.
Resolution (CO2017/239)
That Council:
1. Approve an allocation of $130,000 from the WaterMarc Maintenance Reserve to
allow maintenance works at WaterMarc Banyule, including the installation of new
flooring in the pool change rooms, family change rooms and first aid room and minor
refresh of change room fixtures and painting works.
2. Ensure the maintenance works are completed before the Summer period when the
pool facility is at its peak usage.

7.2 21-31 KNIGHT STREET, WATSONIA - SURPLUS LAND AND ROAD
DISCONTINUANCE
Mr Kevin Biaggini spoke to the item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An opportunity exists for Council to repurpose surplus land and facilitate a high quality
residential development outcome for 21-31 Knight Street, Watsonia. An appropriate
development in this location would provide for a diversity in local medium density
residential accommodation and will generate an additional revenue stream for Council
which can be reinvested into upgrading local community infrastructure.
Knight Street (east of Meagher Street), Watsonia, has historically been problematic for
Council in being a preferred location for illegal rubbish dumping and anti-social activity.
With continued maintenance costs and ongoing rubbish removal, this land has been
identified as being surplus to Council’s operational needs.
On 7 August 2017 Council resolved to commence a statutory consultation process to
discontinue this problematic section of Knight Street. This consultation process was
conducted in accordance with Schedule 10 and Section 223 of the Local Government Act
(1989). During this process Council received no submissions from the community wishing
to speak to this proposed road discontinuance.
Also on 7 August 2017, Council resolved to reserve the right to make a decision to
proceed with the necessary statutory procedures to formally discontinue the road, including
the required publication of Council’s decision in the Victoria Government Gazette, in the
event that no community submissions were received.
With no community submissions received, it is proposed to now formally discontinue the
section of Knight Street (east of Meagher Street) and to consolidate this discontinued
section of road reserve with the Council-owned residential land parcels of 21-31 Knight
Street, Watsonia.
21-31 Knight Street, Watsonia has always been zoned for residential purposes and it is
recommended that Council now pursue a high quality, medium density townhouse
development. A development at this location will aid in ceasing problematic and illegal
activity.
These minutes are circulated subject to confirmation by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to be held on 30 October 2017 23MINUTES ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 16 OCTOBER 2017
Resolution (CO2017/241)
That:
1. As per its resolution on 7 August 2017, and in accordance with the Local
Government Act (1989), Council formally resolves to discontinue the section of
Knight Street (east of Meagher Street), Watsonia.
2. Council agrees to consolidate the discontinued road reserve of Knight Street (east of
Meagher Street), Watsonia with the Council-owned residential land parcels 21, 23,
25, 27, 29 and 31 Knight Street, Watsonia for the purposes of a high quality, medium
density residential development.
