REPORT PURPOSE
To seek clarification for Council‘s decision to reject the officer‘s recommendation
(resolution 14641) made at the May 2009 Ordinary Council Meeting (OCM) in regards to
the determination of a sea container located at 2 Stanbridge Way, Millars Well, and to
request a new resolution in order for the application to be determined.
Background
Agenda item 11.1.4 entitled ‗Proposed Sea Container Stanbridge Way, Millars Well‘
contained the following recommendation:
“That Council determine to approve planning application PA2040 for a sea container
at Lot 2231, 2 Stanbridge Way, Millars Well subject to:
1. The sea container being located behind the “primary street frontage” installed
with cast in-situ plate footings and fenced from public view.
2. The sea container being setback from the secondary street and other property
boundaries in accordance with the Residential Design Codes of Western Australia
2008.
3. Other standard planning conditions as determined by the Manager of Planning
Services.”
This recommendation was voted upon and the motion lost 7 -2 as Council ―did not consider
it appropriate to site a sea container in the proposed location.‖
At the OCM Mr Damien Milk tabled photos of sea containers that are already established
within the Shire, and wished to speak concerning this motion not realising that he needed
to raise his query at Public Question time. Cr Snell responded that if Mr Milk required the
motion to be rescinded that this is requested in writing so that Council could look at the
request at the next Ordinary Council Meeting.
No such request was made; however, a meeting was requested with the then Acting Chief
Executive Officer, Shire President and Manager Planning Services and held on the 24 th
September. At this meeting in response to the proponents dissatisfaction with the
determination and Development Services‘ compliance and town planning processes it was
determined that a new planning application should be lodged and reconsidered.
