AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL<br />

13 NOVEMBER 2012<br />

A2. The Mayor advised the question would be taken on notice and a written response<br />

provided.<br />

Additional Information<br />

A1. The <strong>City</strong> is not aware <strong>of</strong> any inconsistencies in either the report or comments from<br />

the Natural Environment Working Group (NEWG). Councillors have been provided<br />

with the comments from the NEWG together with the <strong>of</strong>ficers’ responses and that has<br />

formed part <strong>of</strong> their consideration in resolving to ENDORSE the Boardwalk Project for<br />

public consultation. It is not possible to provide a response to alleged unspecified<br />

“errors and misrepresentations”. A member <strong>of</strong> the NEWG can refer any queries in<br />

regards to responses provided back through the NEWG for clarification. During the<br />

consultation process, all members <strong>of</strong> the community will be able to provide further<br />

comment.<br />

A2. The <strong>City</strong> has not yet determined the method by which the public consultation will be<br />

undertaken, however, any consultation will need to be sufficiently comprehensive to<br />

satisfy Council at the subsequent report stage. It is likely that this will not be through<br />

a facilitated Workshop, as these have limited capacity to cater for the wider<br />

community and, moreover, tend to favour minority groups. The <strong>City</strong>’s website,<br />

together with public libraries, provide an excellent medium for the provision <strong>of</strong> access<br />

to a consultation report and plans which, in conjunction with advertising through local<br />

press and the <strong>Stirling</strong> Scoop or Scene, is capable <strong>of</strong> reaching a wide audience for<br />

participation in that process. Modern consultation, utilising digital media and free<br />

community newspapers, is capable <strong>of</strong> reaching a wide and diverse cross section <strong>of</strong><br />

the community and is very cost effective.<br />

5.1.7 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - J DELFOS<br />

The following questions were submitted by Mr J Delfos, 11 Duffield Grove, Carine WA<br />

6020 at the Council meeting held 30 October 2012.<br />

"Q1.<br />

What is the progress as far as the old TAFE site is concerned? I believe it is going to<br />

be a retirement village but I have not seen or heard any further development on it?"<br />

A1. The Mayor advised the question would be taken on notice and a written response<br />

provided.<br />

"Q2.<br />

I'm not against a Coastal Aquatic Facility west <strong>of</strong> Wanneroo Road, why is it proposed<br />

to be put on the golf course rather than closer to the coast where sea water from the<br />

ocean can be used?"<br />

A2. The Director Community Development advised that a study was conducted on the<br />

most appropriate area and that was identified as the Hamersley Golf Course. He<br />

further advised that the closer you get to the ocean the radius/clientele reduces and it<br />

was decided that the Hamersley Golf Course was the most appropriate area. He also<br />

stated that the channelling <strong>of</strong> water from the sea was looked at by two (2)<br />

consultants who recommended to Council that the preferred site would be Hamersley<br />

Golf Course.<br />
