4. Public Question Time
4:02pm The Chairperson opened Public Question Time and invited members of the
Public Gallery to ask questions. The Chairperson noted that this was the
only opportunity in the meeting for the public to ask questions.
4.1 Mr Peter Green, Hillman - Kwinana Nickel Refinery/Cockburn Sound
The Chairperson invited Mr Green to present his questions to the Planning and
Engineering Services Committee. Mr Green asked the following questions:
1. Is the City in possession of the Mandatory Auditors Report and Site
Management Plan in accordance with ‘A CLASSIFICATION OF A
KNOWN OR SUSPECTED SITE GIVEN UNDER SECTION 15 OF THE
CONTAMINATED SITES ACT 2003?’
2. Are any other sites affected by the source site, if so, how many and what
area do they cover?
3. Does the contamination enter Cockburn Sound?
4. Does the Contamination exceed any Environmental Criteria or
Guidelines?
The Chairperson advised that the questions will be taken on notice.
4.2 Mr James Mumme, Shoalwater - Draft Lake Richmond Management Plan
The Chairperson invited Mr Mumme to present his questions to the Planning and
Engineering Services Committee. Mr Mumme asked the following questions:
(Preamble to questions) I am pleased that the draft Management Plan for Lake
Richmond has been completed and that it is based on an 18 month study of the
health of the thrombolites by microbiolite expert Dr Ryan Vogwill. I look forward
particularly to actions relating to weed management.
1. How much of the budgeted $81,250 has been allotted for this study?
The Chairperson advised that the question will be taken on notice.
2. Since only $1200 has been spent and the finishing date is this month,
has Dr Vogwill been paid for his study which was completed in February?
The Chairperson advised that the question will be taken on notice.
3. May a copy of the study be obtained now?
Mr Bob Jeans, Director Planning and Development Services advised that the link
to the document would be sent through to Mr Mumme.
4. Where exactly is the Draft Management Plan on the PESC Agenda or
Bulletin?
The Chairperson advised that the document is an attachment to the Agenda and
can be accessed through the City's website via the link which will be provided by
Planning and Development Services.
5. In August members of Friends of Point Peron and the Urban Bushland
Council and the Wetlands Association met with DWER staff to discuss
the proposed duplication of the Water Corporation sewer pipeline. Two
major focuses of that meeting were weeds and hydrology. Water
Corporation stated that the existing pipeline had not had a negative
impact on the thromtolites or the water table, without presenting any
evidence for this claim. Dr Vic Semeniuk made a presentation regarding
the longterm risks to thrombolites from interruption of groundwater
transport. Dr Semeniuk's argument was that the pipeline should not be
built so close to Lake Richmond. DWER in the end decided to approve
the pipeline going alongside the existing one.

Committee meeting held on Monday 9 December 2019

Will Council ensure that Dr Semeniuk is sent a copy of the DMP and is
invited to contribute his world-class expertise in hydrology in situations
like Lake Richmond?
Mr Bob Jeans, Director Planning and Development Services advised that the
City would share the link to the document with Dr Semeniuk.
4.3 Mr Elton Swartz, Business News and Mr Alessandro Stagno, Planning
Solutions - PD-071/19 - Joint Development Assessment Panel Application -
Child Care Premises Lot 726 (No.591) and Lot 107 (No.577) Eighty Road,

The Chairperson invited Mr Swartz and Mr Stagno to present their questions to
the Planning and Engineering Services Committee. Mr Swartz raised questions
in relation to Conditions 5 and 6 on the Alternative Motion and advised that he
and Mr Stagno had made themselves available to the Committee to answer any
questions it may have with respect to the application.
The Chairperson advised that the Committee may have questions during
discussion on the item and would invite Mr Swartz and Mr Stagno to answer
such questions at that stage, subject to the suspension of Standing Orders.
4:16pm There being no further questions the Chairperson closed Public Question
Time.

Purpose of Report
To seek Council approval to advertise the draft Sustainability Strategy for public comment.
Background
The City has long supported climate sensitive behaviours and is committed to working towards a
more sustainable future. Council acknowledged the mounting implications arising from climate
change in October 2011 by resolving to sign a Climate Change Declaration prepared by WALGA,
along with 40 other local governments. In May 2018, the City became a signatory of the Climate
Council’s Cities Power Partnership, a national coalition of local governments committed to acting on
climate change.

The City released its first Sustainability Snapshot Report in 2017, which aimed to capture collective
efforts from across the City, highlight key achievements and provide a baseline for future projects
and initiatives. Several gaps were identified from this review of existing procedures, operations and
actions, highlighting the need for an overarching Community Plan Strategy on Sustainability
(‘Sustainability Strategy’).
In October 2018, an online survey was advertised for two weeks seeking preliminary community
input to guide development of the draft Sustainability Strategy. Survey questions focused on how
the community define sustainability, the relative importance of key issues such as water, waste and
emissions, and whether the community think the City is doing enough in this space. The survey was
advertised through Rockport, Facebook and on the City’s website under Share Your Thoughts.
A total of 41 residents completed the survey, with respondents indicating that the subject matter
was of high importance, but felt that generally not enough was being done in working towards
sustainability.
In November 2018, a Councillor Engagement Session was held to introduce the key themes to be
addressed in the Strategy and gain feedback on the proposed way forward. Internal consultation
was also conducted on an ongoing basis over 2018-2019, with the following teams providing
valuable input on various matters; Land and Development Infrastructure, Community Capacity
Building, Waste Services, Engineering Services, Assets Services, Parks Services, Library Services
and Strategy and Corporate Communications.
A draft Sustainability Strategy has now been prepared, taking into account existing actions across
the City and the feedback received through the abovementioned processes.
Details
The purpose of the Sustainability Strategy is to provide a framework for working towards a healthy
and sustainable City for future generations. The strategy outlines how the City will improve its own
operations and also how it will lead, engage and collaborate with others along the way. It is driven
by five overarching objectives, listed below.
1. Improve the City’s environmental performance and practices;
2. Integrate sustainability into the planning and delivery of infrastructure, services, facilities and
planning functions;
3. Ensure the City is resilient to the impacts of climate change;
4. Protect and enhance the local natural environment; and
5. Support the community to adopt sustainable practices
The draft Strategy presents key issues and identifies actions according to five overarching
elements:
Sustainability Strategy
Element 1: Element 2: Element 4: Element 5:
Element 3:
Energy and Waste and Health and Education and
Water
Emissions Resources Nature Engagement
A summary of actions recommended in the draft Strategy for implementation over the next 10 years
include:
1. Preparation of an Energy Management Plan to guide future energy upgrades in accordance
with best practice emerging technologies and to prioritise allocation of resources.
2. Preparation of an Emissions Reduction Plan to identify a realistic carbon reduction goal and
implement measures to achieve this.
3. Delivery of a real-time energy monitoring platform to enable accurate reporting, rapid
identification of faults, and prioritisation and measurement of new energy saving initiatives.

4. Preparation of a Sustainable Transport Plan to build upon the State Government’s Perth
and Peel @ 3.5 million Transport Plan. The Plan would assess demand and identify priority
locations for the delivery of infrastructure, to create safe, active transport links between key
locations.
5. Prepare a local planning policy on sustainable design, building upon the requirements
outlined in the several state planning documents, to ensure that new development
demonstrates best practice in environmentally sustainable design, incorporating measures
to maximise green cover and minimise energy consumption, water usage, emissions and
waste.
6. Develop sustainability procurement criteria for the City’s consideration, focused on waste
minimisation (i.e. minimal packaging, opportunities for recycling/disposal) in addition to
criteria for energy efficiency.
7. Relevant teams to collaborate and prepare an annual calendar of sustainability related
events, to ensure improved planning and delivery of community focused initiatives. This will
ensure the main objectives and topics identified in the strategy are being addressed.
8. New incentives and initiatives to continue encouraging sustainable behaviours at home,
including energy efficiency, water management and waste minimisation. This will include
development of a sustainability programs for local schools, and a ‘Green Award’ for local
businesses.
Implications to Consider
a. Consultation with the Community
Advertising of the draft Sustainability Strategy is proposed to be undertaken for 42 days (6
weeks), to allow for the Christmas/New Year holiday period. Community feedback during the
consultation period will be sought by:
Advertising the consultation period through online channels and in the local
newspaper, with hard copies of the draft made available in the City’s libraries.
Including an option for residents to provide feedback via an online survey
questionnaire, should they not wish to prepare a written submission.
Directly informing all 41 residents who completed the community survey on
sustainability.

It is recognised that sustainability matters are multidisciplinary and require a collaborative effort
across teams and the community. When considering the potential impacts associated with climate
change, strategic direction is important to ensure the City is collaboratively working towards a more
resilient and sustainable future.

Purpose of Report
To seek Council approval to advertise the draft Lake Richmond Management Plan for public
comment.
Background
The Lake Richmond reserve (‘the reserve’) forms part of the Rockingham Lakes Regional Park and
is nearly 77 ha in size, with the waterbody itself accounting for 40 ha. The reserve is both culturally
and ecologically significant, containing registered heritage places and two Threatened Ecological
Communities (TEC) listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity
Conservation Act 1999, being Sedgelands in Holocene Dune Swales and Thrombolite (microbial)
community of coastal freshwater lakes of the Swan Coastal Plain.
In August 2009, Council endorsed the Lake Richmond Management Plan which identified
management actions to address the various threatening processes impacting on the reserve,
including invasive species, habitat degradation and unauthorised access.

The City’s Community Plan Strategy: Natural Area Conservation (2017) identified the need for the
previous Lake Richmond Management Plan (2008) to be reviewed, acknowledging the local and
regional environmental significance of the reserve.
The City commenced a review of the Lake Richmond Management Plan in July 2017, appointing
environmental consultants Strategen to undertake an assessment of vegetation condition,
vegetation type, weed coverage, fauna habitat and reserve infrastructure.
The City also engaged microbialite expert Dr Ryan Vogwill to undertake a landmark study from
November 2017 - February 2019 into current thrombolite health and activity, the optimal water
conditions for microbialite growth, and thrombolite sensitivity to herbicides used in weed control.
Thrombolites at Lake Richmond
Dr Ryan Vogwill and his colleague Mike Whitehead presented the thrombolite study findings at the
Councillor Engagement Session on 8 October 2019.
The City has now prepared a draft Lake Richmond Management Plan, informed by the findings of
the abovementioned assessments.
Details
The purpose of the Lake Richmond Management Plan is to provide key directions for the protection
and enhancement of conservation and recreation values within the Lake Richmond reserve over
next five years (2020-2025).
The draft Plan is driven by the following overarching objectives:
- Protect and enhance conservation values through the removal of threatening processes.
- Encourage a range of sustainable recreational experiences through suitably located
infrastructure and services.
- Ensure equity and safety for all reserve users.

The Plan addresses both environmental and landscape attributes, recommending management
actions which relate to:
- Weed management;
- Supporting microbialite growth;
- Revegetation;
- Fauna habitat;
- Feral animals and domestic cats;
- Restricting unauthorised access;
- Reserve infrastructure; and
- Potential future recreational infrastructure.
The Plan also includes Landscape Concepts prepared by the City’s Senior Landscape Architect,
illustrating potential future enhancements to improve the recreational amenity of the reserve in a
way which is sympathetic to its cultural and environmental significance.

6. Consultation Plan
No submissions were received from notified landowners/occupiers.
b. Consultation with Government Agencies
The Scheme Amendment was referred to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) to
determine if an environmental assessment was required, prior to advertising. The EPA
advised that the Amendment should not be assessed under the Act, and provided the
following recommendations and comments:
- A black cockatoo survey is undertaken in accordance with EPA Technical Guidance -
Terrestrial Fauna Surveys 2016, to inform habitat retention as part of planning for
subdivision and development;
- Building Envelopes are located in cleared areas where possible; and
- All proposed effluent disposal systems and development achieve appropriate
separation to groundwater and the Conservation Category Wetland (CCW).
The EPA recommendations are noted and can be addressed through subsequent stages in
the planning process.
The following Government Agencies were also consulted:
- Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (Aboriginal Heritage);
- Department of Fire and Emergency Services;
- Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions;
- Department of Water and Environmental Regulation;
- Telstra;
- Water Corporation;
- Western Power; and
- Department of Health.
Six submissions were received from State Agencies which are summarised and addressed
as follows:
1. Water Corporation
Submission (summarised):
The Water Corporation has no objection to the rezoning.
The site is outside the Water Corporations current wastewater planning and the owners
will need to make provision for on-site wastewater treatment and disposal.

1. Water Corporation (cont…)
City's Comment:
The submission is noted.
2. Department of Fire and Emergency Services
Submission (summarised):
DFES suggest the proposed lot configuration should be modified to avoid the need for a
battle-axe lot. The Bushfire Management Plan (BMP) submitted with the Amendment
documentation should demonstrate why no alternative exists to creating a battle-axe.
Should no alternatives exist then the subdivision concept should be redesigned; or a
performance principal based solution provided at subsequent stages of the planning
process.
At the strategic planning stage consideration should be given to the intensification of land
use and how this relates to identified bushfire hazards. DFES is satisfied the BMP
adequately identified the bushfire risk and considered how compliance with the bushfire
protection criteria can be achieved.
Notwithstanding the above, modifications to the BMP are required prior to subsequent
planning stages to ensure compliance with the bushfire protection criteria. As these
modifications are minor in nature and will not affect the scheme amendment, these
modifications should be undertaken to support subsequent stages of the planning
process (subdivision and development applications).
City's Comment:
The City considers that a battle-axe access is unavoidable in the circumstances, and can
be justified due to:
The retention of an existing dwelling at the rear of the property, which pre-dates the
bushfire framework;
The shape of the original lot;
The Lot's frontage on the curve of Eighty Road, and
The objective to retain only one access point for the subdivision onto Eighty Road for
traffic safety reasons.
While the BMP submitted with the Amendment documentation does not clearly articulate
justification for a battle-axe access configuration when addressing the bushfire protection
criteria, the City considers the matter can be addressed through subsequent planning
stages without the need to update the BMP at this point.
3. Department of Planning Lands and Heritage (Aboriginal Heritage)
Submission (summarised):
A review of the Register of Places and Objects as well as the Aboriginal Heritage
database indicates that Lot 106 Eighty Road, Baldivis does not intersect with any known
Aboriginal sites or heritage places. Therefore no approvals would be required under the
Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 to enact the scheme rezoning.
City's Comment:
The submission is noted.
4. Department of Water and Environmental Regulation
Submission (summarised):
The Department has no further advice to provide from the advice provided by the
Environmental Protection Authority to the City in August 2019.
City's Comment:
The submission is noted.

5. Department of Health
Submission (summarised):
The amendment is required to be connected to scheme water and reticulated sewerage
(if available) in accordance with the Government Sewerage Policy (2019).
Suitable provision for an adequate on-site effluent disposal area is to be accommodated
in any planning approval. For on-site wastewater disposal systems to be approved, a
winter 'site and soil evaluation' in accordance with A/NZ Standard 1547 is required.
City's Comment:
The submission is noted.
6. Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions
Submission:
Lot 106 contains an area of Conservation Category wetland (CCW) located on the south
west corner of the lot. It is noted that the Environmental Report provided with the
Amendment Report outlines that there will be no development or clearing of trees within
50 metres of the wetland boundary, that firebreaks be placed outside the 50 metre buffer,
that some of the buffer will be revegetated, and that a wetland management plan will be
prepared at the direction of the local authority.
It is the department's expectation that the planning system will address environmental
issues associated with the proposal and ensure the appropriate management of the
wetland and buffer, including consideration of effluent disposal arrangements with
reference to the Government Sewerage Policy 2019, and ensuring the Bush Fire
protection requirements can be accommodated so that they do not place reliance or
impositions on the management of the CCW or buffer.
City's Comment:
The submission is noted. Environmental issues can be adequately managed through
subsequent stages in the planning process.

d. Policy
State Planning Policy 3.7 (SPP3.7)
SPP3.7 notes in Table 1 that a Bushfire Hazard Level assessment and a Bushfire
Management Plan (BMP) addressing the bushfire protection criteria is to be submitted in the
consideration of amendments to local planning schemes. The Guidelines for Planning in
Bushfire Prone Areas (The Guidelines) require the applicant to demonstrate, by way of a
Bushfire Hazard Level Assessment, that the land proposed to be rezoned has, or can be
made to have, a low to moderate bushfire hazard level (i.e. BAL-Low to BAL-29).
A BMP has been prepared for the proposal demonstrating that a maximum BAL-29 may be
applicable to the proposed building envelopes. The BMP also addresses the bushfire
protection measures of the Guidelines, demonstrating compliance with Acceptable
Solutions. As mentioned in the response to the DFES submission above, while the BMP
does not clearly articulate justification for a battle-axe access configuration, the City
considers that bushfire protection criteria (A3.4) can be adequately addressed through an
updated BMP required during subsequent planning stages without the need to update the
BMP at this point.

The procedures for dealing with proposals to amend a local planning scheme, as per the
Planning and Development Act 2005, are set out in the Planning and Development (Local
Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.
Regulation 50(3) provides that the City shall:
"Before the end of the consideration period for a standard amendment to a local planning
scheme, or a later date approved by the Commission, the local government must pass a
resolution-
(a) to support the amendment without modification; or
(b) to support the amendment with proposed modifications to address issues raised in the
submissions; or
(c) not to support the amendment."

Comments
The proposal is considered consistent with the planning framework, including the WAPC Framework
and the Council's resolution in August 2018 on exemptions to the moratorium on Special Rural and
Special Residential Amendments.
Provisions already contained in TPS2 can be applied at the subsequent planning stages to
designate Building Envelopes, address bushfire considerations and retain vegetation.
The future Baldivis District Sporting Facility (BDSF) is proposed to be located on the adjoining land
to the north. Any land use compatibility issues identified in relation to the BDSF arising from the
current stage of detailed design for that project will need to be addressed in subsequent planning
processes required for Lot 106 Eighty Road to mitigate any impacts as necessary. This would
include at the subdivision stage a requirement for a Notification to be registered on new certificates
of title informing prospective purchasers of the existence of the future BDSF.
As such, following advertising of the Scheme Amendment and consideration of the Government
Agency submissions, it is recommended that Council adopt Amendment No.175 for Final Approval.
Following the Council's decision, Final Approval of the Scheme Amendment is required from the
Minister for Planning.

Notwithstanding the above, modifications as indicated
in the above table(s) to the BMP are required prior to
subsequent planning stages to ensure compliance
with the bushfire protection criteria. As these
modifications are minor in nature and will not affect the
scheme amendment, these modifications should be
undertaken to support subsequent stages of the
planning process (subdivision & development
