Item No 10.4 Report Title Council Meeting Date 10 July 2013 Author Title Attachments File Ref - Records Hours to compile 5.0 Strategic Plan Reference Purpose Executive Summary Penneshaw Aleppo Pines Update Andrew C Boardman Chief Executive Officer Email 1 – E Shearman Email 2 + Attachments 1,2 & 3 – E Shearman Email 3 – J Hart Email 4 + Attachments 1 & 2 – P Denholm 1.18 – To sustainably manage, in partnership, our natural environment 1.21 – To improve and enhance public consultation and interaction with the Community To provide an update on the Aleppo Pine issue in Penneshaw and the possibility that these trees have historic / commemorative value 90 Day Public consultation is complete and contributions have been received – these are now presented to Council for consideration. Further direction will then be required for Administration. Recommendation 1. That Council receive the consultation documents for information. 2. Council determine whether to uphold resolution 13.7 September 2012. OR Lay the matter on the table pending notice of a rescission motion. OR Provide an alternate direction to Administration. Discussion At the March 2013 Meeting, Council resolved the following: Item No10.2 Report Title Penneshaw Aleppo Pines Update Moved Cr Davis Seconded Cr Clements That Council create a 90 day window for Community members to research and provide clear evidence that the Aleppo Pines in Penneshaw have some form of cultural significance. At the end of the 90 day period Council will be presented with the findings in a formal report. CARRIED. 4 For 2 Against The Consultation period closed on 11 th June 2013 and the following feedback was received from the public with regards to the veracity or otherwise of the concerns that these trees have historic / commemorative value. Email 1 – E Shearman - acknowledging further information may be available Email 2 – E Shearman – acknowledging that these particular pines cannot be irrefutably linked to deliberate planting to commemorate our fallen soldiers. Several points are raised around their biodiversity contribution and their links to Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos (attachments 2 and 3). There are also comments re the issues the trees are causing, the likelihood of these trees being the sole cause of the problems and the advisability of spending money on removing them given other priorities. Kangaroo Island Council – 10 July 2013 Agenda 24
Email 3 – J Hart – general comment on consultation process and indicating support for the trees to remain on the basis of aesthetic amenity. Email 4 – P Denholm – forwarding a contribution letter and plan (attachments Email 4 – 1 & 2) from T Blood (previously a long-term Penneshaw resident) – this letter indicates that Mr Blood is quite clear in his mind that the trees planted in the lane were not planted officially or in commemoration / as a memorial. Trees that were planted formally were gum trees and started further down The Lane from the location of the Pine trees. The existing resolution of Council as yet not actioned is from September 2012 Meeting of Council and that is: Item No13.7 Report Title Public Consultation – Aleppo Pine Trees Moved Cr Willson Seconded Cr Connell 1. That Council remove the Aleppo Pine Trees and that the Netball Club and Landcare Group be asked to manage landscaping and further that the Finance Committee be asked to recommend the expenditure required. CARRIED. 3 For 2 Against Council will need to assess the information so provided and determine a course of action. Should the decision be taken to uphold the original decision then Asset Services will need to revisit the costs and scope of works with the arborists consulted and determine full costs prior to awarding the work. Governance Considerations (relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, guidance, processes and decision-rights for a given area of responsibility) Good practice to allow opportunity for Community, having raised concerns that a decision may be in error due to lack of information, to find / substantiate their concerns formally. Risk Management Considerations (identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks (defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether positive or negative) followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities) Adequate allowance of research time mitigates any possibility of removal of trees that may have originally been planted to commemorate our Servicemen and Women. Economic Considerations (Assessment of likely financial implications of pursuing a course of action) Nil at this time. Social Considerations (Assessment of likely impacts with the Community) Ensures that the Community have the opportunity to challenge Council decision and provide alternate information that may not be known to Council members at the time a decision was cast. Environmental Considerations (Assessment of likely impacts on the environment) Nil at this time. Kangaroo Island Council – 10 July 2013 Agenda 25
