Information BulletinCorrespondence & PapersPage Cor-10Local government is the backbone of local communities and local economies and deliversinfrastructure and services which everybody needs. Because we are right there working inand amongst the community, we engage with our communities and respond to their needs.Councillors are drawn from and live in their local community. During the Global FinancialCrisis, local government was called on to promote economic activity across the nation bydelivering $1 billion of the Australian Government's Stimulus package at the local level. Weare called on to deliver services, on behalf of the Commonwealth and state governmentsbecause we are innovative, responsive, flexible and efficient.Ongoing concern regarding the Commonwealth Government's power to directly fundcommunity initiatives through local government makes constitutional reform vital, in orderto secure the services that our communities need. The High Court's decision in July last yearin the case Pape v Commissioner of Taxation has brought into question the Commonwealth'slegal ability to fund local government directly, because it is not included in theConstitution. Such a result would have a devastating impact on our local communities,particularly those in rural and regional areas. Ensuring that the services and infrastructureneeded by communities can be delivered by local government lies at the heart of our pursuitof constitutional reform.Including local government in the Australian Constitution will protect the local services thatwe take for granted and ensure that councils have the funding security to provide the levelof services that local communities need and deserve. Local road funding is currentlyprovided under the Roads to Recovery Program and community infrastructure funding underthe Local Community Infrastructure Program. By any measure these two programs have beenextremely successful examples of the partnership between the Australian Government andlocal government.The Australian Local Government Association has been involved in extensive consultationwith local government, the broader community and state and federal politicians. PrimeMinister Gillard has promised a dual referendum during the life of this parliament - thepeople will be asked to vote on two issues - the constitutional recognition of localgovernment and recognition of Indigenous Australians as the nation's first people.The Prime Minister's announcement and indications of bipartisan support are enormous stepstoward a referendum, but we do not underestimate the task ahead - a majority of voters ina majority of states and an overall majority of voters, need to vote yes for a referendum tosucceed. Our research shows that many Australians, particularly young Australians, havelittle understanding of the Constitution or the process required to change it. There is a needto educate the public about the Constitution - not only what it contains, but that it shouldbe a living document which needs amendment every now and then to remain appropriate tothe Australia of the 21 st Century.I will be making constitutional reform a priority in my term as your president. The clearobjective of this reform will be a positive result in our referendum so that all of Australia'slocal communities get the chance to achieve their full potential.Cr Genia McCafferyALGA President

Since 1992, most formsof tobacco advertising have been banned under the Tobacco Advertising Prohibition Act 1992(the TAP Act). The object of the TAP Act is to improve public health by limiting thebroadcasting and publication of messages and images promoting the use of tobaccoproducts.The Australian Medical Association (AMA) has called on all parties to support these measuresin the Parliament.

He says the model should be turned on its head. Motoristsshould get free use of bypass toll roads and should pay to drive in the inner city.Mr Whitehead spent last year at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden,investigating road-tolling schemes in Europe. He found it was now standard practice to useschemes such as congestion taxes in order to discourage road use. "Quite a few of theEuropean government officials I met think Australia has taken the wrong approach to roadpricing," Mr Whitehead said."Our logic is wrong because we charge people to travel on the new roads or bypasses thatwe want them to use, while drivers travel for free on congested inner-city routes. Instead,we should be looking at charging on these congested routes and using that revenue to fundor subsidise public transport and roads."

(Source: AAP)OECD report on economyA wide-ranging assessment by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD) of the Australian economy was released this week. The Report - Economic Survey ofAustralia - acknowledges that the Australian economy has been one of the most resilient inthe OECD during the GFC, but we must be vigilant to future policies initiatives.Whilst the report acknowledges that the country's future growth prospects remain bright"with potential growth among the strongest in the OECD", it also flags a number of concernsregarding current Government policies, including its capability of keeping to its strictspending discipline to return the budget back to surplus, the make-up of its planned miningtax and the cost effectiveness of its National Broadband Network (NBN).The Report reinforces the importance of responding to the nations' infrastructure needs. Itsays that adequate and well-functioning infrastructure is key for growth and well-being,particularly in Australia because of its size, the geographical dispersion of its population andproduction centres, and its remoteness from other markets. Nevertheless, Australia has animportant infrastructure deficit. This deficit, which is in part due to past underinvestment,is exacerbated by the strong demand generated by the mining boom, population growth,technological progress and environmental concerns. Easing these shortages requires betterregulation to promote a more efficient use of existing facilities and well targeted public andprivate investment decisions.The report also argues that raising labour supply would ease bottlenecks and help tacklesocial inclusion, an important aspect of wellbeing in Australia. Reforms in tax-transfer,education policies and labour market institutions would be key in this regard, but should besubject to fiscal constraints. Given the multiple and inter-related characteristics of socialexclusion - homelessness, health/disability problems, insufficient education and training,poor social networks - a comprehensive approach to service delivery is needed.Reconciliation Action PlansThe 200th Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) will be launched next week.

This claim has been supported in the Department of Finance andDeregulation's Interacting with government report which recognised that local governmentis often said to be the level of government closest to the people. The Australian LocalGovernment Association's submission to the Senate Select Committee on the Reform of theAustralian Federation provides further supporting evidence of the high regard thecommunity has for the services provided by local councils, municipalities and shires."Whilst there has been informal discussion for some time over the need to enshrine theplace of local government in Australia's Constitution, a recent decision of the High Court hascalled directly into question the Commonwealth's power to finance areas for which it doesnot have an express constitutional power...recognition of local government in theConstitution is essential. Recognition that is tokenistic will not suffice. I call upon thegovernment to move forward and engage with local governments to provide financialprotection under our Constitution. Most importantly, I call upon the government to make ita genuine priority to take the real action necessary to enable a referendum on constitutionalrecognition of local government.

"We are providing $500,000 for the Coen Aerodrome under our RemoteAerodrome Safety Program, which is around 150 safety projects around Australia. Theupgrade will ensure the runway can cope with regular air services that provide access toessential goods and services including the delivery of food, mail, medicine, and passengertransport. This is especially critical during the wet season when Coen's road access can becompletely cut-off for up to five months," she said.

Royal Life Saving's CEO, Rob Bradley, saysthere are not enough schools providing swimming lessons to students."Some very good programs are offered through local aquatic centres, but it's a veryfragmented approach throughout Australia through the education system," he said. "It shouldbe the responsibility of the Australian Government to ensure that every child in Australia hasthese vital swimming and safety skills."Ms Bradley says kids from minorities are more likely to struggle in the water. "We're seeingbig gaps in populations that receive no water safety lessons at all," he said.

The strategy was launched in Sydney on Wednesday by the ParliamentarySecretary for Infrastructure and Transport, Catherine King."Road crashes cause the death of some 1500 people and 30,000 serious injuries every year onAustralian roads," Cr McCaffery said. "Ultimately no death or serious injury on our roads isacceptable." Councils are collectively responsible for over 650,000 kilometres or 80% of allroads in Australia and local government welcomes the greater emphasis on local roads in thedraft strategy."The internationally recognised 'Safe System' approach adopted in the draft Strategy acceptsthat people using the road network will make mistakes and therefore the whole 'system'needs to be made as safe as possible to ensure it is more forgiving of human errors," CrMcCaffery said."This means improving the safety of roads, adding safety features to cars, making surepeople obey speed limits and the road rules, and having the appropriate sanctions for roadusers who demonstrate irresponsible behaviour."I urge state local government associations and councils to examine the draft strategy fromtheir own perspectives and provide feedback by asking the questions: How will this work inmy community? Is it practical? Are there alternative approaches to achieve the same orbetter result? How will these initiatives be paid for?"National Urban Policy Discussion PaperInfrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese has released for communityfeedback a discussion paper which will form the basis of Australia's first ever National UrbanPolicy. Public submissions will close on 1 March 2011, with the final National Urban Policy tobe published later in 2011. ALGA welcomes the Federal Government's involvement in ourcities and its undertaking to consult closely with ALGA. ALGA will be making a submissionfocusing on planning, transport, infrastructure and environmental sustainability. Thediscussion paper also raises the issue of local government reform and the need for a debateon whether there should be fewer councils in our major cities. ALGA remains opposed toforced amalgamation of councils but believes that such a debate could be useful inhighlighting community attitudes to the importance of local representation and decisionmaking. Councils and local government associations are encouraged to make their ownsubmissions.National road specifications using recycled crushed glassBusiness leaders, state and local government officials, road engineers and academics visitedthe Alex Fraser Group recycling plant in Laverton, Victoria to see how glass collectedthrough local council kerbside recycling systems is being processed to a nationally consistentstandard for use in construction.

These included the importance of public engagement, consistentstrategic direction, cross-sectoral collaboration, and regional cooperation.The report's findings have a number of implications for Australian cities, and I agree withthe Grattan Institute that two stand out. Firstly, residents must be involved in decisions andsecondly, changing structures does not guarantee success in itself and indeed may be just adistraction. Although no one particular type of governance structure was associated withcities' improvement, an important finding was that any structural change must be coupledwith early and deep public engagement.A long line of ALGA President's, especially my predecessor, Cr Geoff Lake, has made theseexact statements to a variety of Commonwealth and State Ministers, and also in forums suchas the Local Government and Planning Ministers' Council and the Housing Ministers' Council.

Information BulletinCorrespondence & PapersPage Cor-30Planning is not and was never intended to be a purely regulatory function. Planning is aboutensuring community outcomes are delivered for the benefit of citizens, both now and intothe future, and within reasonable environmental and design parameters. Removing therights of communities to be engaged in planning and development is anathema to civilisedand democratic societies we have in Australia.Likewise the pressure to continuously reorganise or introduce new urban 'governance'structures to fix the problems of our cities and towns is largely a smoke screen. In sayingthat, I fully support the need to ensure our business models are operating efficiently andthis may sometimes involve a degree of organisational and governance change. However tosimply say that amalgamation of local government or introducing new developmentcorporations or assessment panels will do the trick is simply not true. In the case of myhome state, multiple interventions in the system of planning governance has just resulted inmore confusion and distrust and the growing perception that good planning is little morethan trying to reduce red tape.Local government plays a critical role in planning and the management of our diversecommunities. I will champion our role and the rights of our communities to be a key part oflocal planning decisions.Cr Genia McCafferyALGA PresidentGovernment consults widely on carbon price policyALGA attended the first meeting of the Non-Government Organisation (NGO) Roundtable onClimate Change on Friday 26 November 2010.

Queanbeyan and Palerang councils were yesterday declared a naturaldisaster zone, taking the number of LGAs affected in NSW to 30.Each of these Councils can now access assistance to cover the costs of the restoration ofessential public assets and counter disaster operations.Under the NDRRA, financial support will also be provided by the Commonwealth for therestoration of essential public infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and schools, whereexpenditure exceeds certain thresholds and requirements.In addition to funding the cost of counter disaster operations (on a 50/50 basis), funding willalso include disaster relief and recovery assistance including:• personal hardship and distress grants to low-income earners whose principal residence has beendamaged;• concessional loans of up to $130,000 for small businesses and primary producers;• concessional loans of up to $25,000 for voluntary, non-profit organisations; and• road and rail freight subsidies of up to $15,000 to assist primary producers for the carriage of livestockand fodder.Attorney General Robert McClelland said the Commonwealth Government would continue tomonitor the situation in the disaster declared areas and work with the State Governments toprovide assistance to communities affected by the floods.For further information - NSW communities should phone the NSW Emergency ManagementHotline on 1800 227 228, and Queensland communities should phone the QueenslandDepartment of Communities on 1800 173 349.Call for EPBC partnership with councilsThe Federal Government is keen to work with local government and other agencies toensure the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act) in relationto fire prevention and management activities such as roadside clearing is applied sensibly.The Secretary of the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Populations andCommunities Paul Grimes has written to ALGA to pass on information to councils and local

Information BulletinCorrespondence & PapersPage Cor-38government associations. In his letter, Mr Grimes says: 'In general the EPBC Act does notrestrict bushfire prevention activities and these will only need approval under the Act ifthere are likely to be significant impacts on nationally protected matter. As an illustrationof this, no state fire management plan referred under the EPBC Act has yet requiredapproval." Departmental officers are happy to answer any questions on either 1800 110395or at compliance@environment.gov.au2011 National Events - put these events in your diary!The 2011 National General Assembly theme next year will be "Growing with ourCommunities - Place, Position and Partnership". It will look at local government's place andpartnerships across all levels of government, in the delivery of services to its communities.ALGA events such as the National General Assembly of Local Government and the NationalLocal Roads and Transport Congress provide important forums for local government todiscuss policy and initiatives, and create a platform for local government to call on theAustralian Government with a united voice. Now that a referendum on local government hasbeen announced by the Australian Government, it is more important than ever for allcouncils to come together and develop the future agenda.Make sure you can be involved in the 2011 national events by putting these dates in yourdiary now.19 June - Regional Development and Cooperation Forum, Canberra19-22 June - National General Assembly of Local Government, Canberra16-18 November - National Local Roads and Transport Congress, Mount GambierOther important dates:30 January - National General Assembly 'Call for Motions' opens22 April - National General Assembly 'Call for Motions' closesFrom the PresidentThe National Urban Policy Discussion Paper released by the Federal Government last week isa useful document which canvasses many of the problems faced by Australia's cities anddraws together much of the work being done by all three levels of government across manyrelated areas. The particular areas of interest are climate change, transport, housingaffordability and planning and the size of local government.ALGA welcomes the paper as an indication that the Federal Government intends to play agreater role in helping to address the challenges faced by cities. As the Federal Governmentnotes, Australia's major cities are responsible for nearly 80% of our Gross domestic productand 75% of our employment. I'm pleased that the Federal Government is continuing itsinvolvement in our cities as it collects 85% of the nation's tax revenue and has clearobligations in this area.It is important, however, that Federal Government engagement in our cities is long termengagement. All too often in the past such engagement has been the product of short termpolitical opportunism rather than long term strategic commitment. Local government ofcourse does not have that luxury. We are involved in city planning for the long term, in theinterests of our residents.

Information BulletinCorrespondence & PapersPage Cor-39The document highlights the Australian Government's aspirations for our cities and places astrong emphasis on the economic importance and benefits of getting our cities operatingefficiently. This is important. But our cities are places where people live and the DiscussionPaper places much less emphasis on strengthening community engagement to ensure thatour cities meet peoples' aspirations. The paper recognizes the very difficult task ofbalancing community concerns with economic and efficiency issues when talking aboutplanning and the number of councils in our cities. Local government is only too aware of thisissue and local councillors are judged at every election on whether they are getting thebalance right.On the issue of council amalgamations in our cities, I agree that there is a need for a debatebut strongly oppose forced amalgamations which disenfranchise local communities, but weencourage councils to work together to achieve economies of scale. The report suggests areview to assess the outcomes of recent council amalgamations in cities as the first step andwe support that. Any review should assess the full impacts of amalgamations - including thecosts and any perceived loss of community engagement - not just any economic benefits. Wehave to remember that bigger is not always better. ALGA will be consulting with state andterritory associations in preparing a submission on the Discussion Paper and we will beencouraging all councils to make submissions.On a more personal note, my thoughts are with the many councils across Australia which areexperiencing widespread flooding, and are still expecting more rain. The devastation acrossNew South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and the ACT has seriously impactedhundreds of councils and their communities. Once floodwaters subside they will need tobegin the massive cleanup, thoroughly assess the extent of damage and begin urgent repairwork.It is particularly sad to learn that aside from the extensive damage to homes, businesses andour farming communities, a number of deaths have also occurred as a consequence of thefloods. If nothing else this should be a warning for all of us to take the utmost care with anysort of floodwaters. Being safe rather than sorry should be a message we all reinforce to ourcommunities in such challenging climatic times!Cr Genia McCafferyALGA PresidentRoad safety community focus reaps resultsA new study shows safety measures have dramatically reduced the road fatality rate, butthere is a need for fresh action now to ensure further reductions in the future.Parliamentary Secretary for Infrastructure and Transport, Catherine King, said the studyreleased last week by the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics showsthat the road fatality rate in 2010 is one-tenth of what it was in the late 1960s."This is proof that focussing on safer road users, safer cars and safer roads is working," MsKing said. "The fall in the rate is an amazing pay-off to three main safety measures over thelast 40 years: seat belt wearing, random breath testing and speed enforcement.Ms King said the reduction in fatalities and injuries has levelled out and the draft NationalRoad Safety Strategy released on December 1 contains measures aimed at driving furtherreductions.

It will be commencing a competitive tender process. Detailswill be provided on NBN Co's website.For infill developments of less than 100 premises, Telstra will continue to be responsible fordelivering infrastructure and services, pending NBN Co being ready to provide a fibre servicein that area that is capable of connection to the premises.These arrangements do not prevent a developer from requesting any provider (whether it beNBN Co, Telstra or some other provider) to service their estate. In all new developments,developers will need to ensure that trenching and ducting are installed and are fibre-ready,to NBN Co's specifications. Developers will meet these costs.Further questions can be directed to greenfields@dbcde.gov.au.Healthy Spaces and Places - surveyThe Planning Institute of Australia, National Heart Foundation and ALGA are evaluating theHealthy Spaces and Places Website and Overview document to ensure it is a complete anduseful resource. To do this evaluation they have developed a short web survey that will onlytake a few minutes to complete.The Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing funding agreement runs out in March2011 and it will be essential to the continuation of the project that the partnership has asolid foundation and plan for how the project needs to further develop. The web survey hasbeen designed to assist in this task.Everyone who completes the survey will automatically go into a draw to win free entry toone event held by either the Australian Local Government Association, the National HeartFoundation or the Planning Institute of Australia, between now and 31st March 2011."Donate a duck" mobile phone recyclingWith Christmas just around the corner, MobileMuster and Oxfam are asking Australians todonate a duck and help a family in need, just by recycling their old mobile phones andaccessories.For every two mobile phones recycled over Christmas and New Year, MobileMuster willpurchase a duck through Oxfam Unwrapped to help a family struggling against poverty inMozambique.

MobileMuster is calling on allAustralians to give a duck and make a difference to the planet and a family in need thisChristmas," says MobileMuster Recycling, Manager Rose Read.According to Ms Read, many Australians have two or more old and broken mobile phones athome that could be recycled. In total, there are an estimated 16 million mobiles that couldbe put towards helping the planet and a family lacking basic essentials like food and asource of income."One duck can mean the difference between nutritional health and financial security for afamily in Mozambique. Families can use the eggs for food and can sell the excess at marketto supply the family with a regular and reliable source of income," says Oxfam Unwrappedspokesperson, Leigh Stewart. According to Ms Stewart, the ducks can provide a great sourceof income for these families, which can contribute towards schooling and health costs.To recycle your old mobiles, batteries, charges and accessories simply:1. Drop them off at your local MobileMuster collection point (click here to find your nearest one),OR2. Post them in for free by either downloading a MobileMuster/ Oxfam Unwrapped reply paid label fromwww.mobilemuster.com.au or by picking up a free recycling satchel from your nearest Australia Postoutlet and following the packing instructionsMake sure you send them in by 31st January 2011Greater protection for Great Barrier ReefIn a major step forward for the protection of the iconic Great Barrier Reef, the global bodyresponsible for regulating international shipping, has agreed to the Federal Government'srequest and approved an extension of the mandatory Ship Reporting System to the southernportion of the Marine Park.From 1 July 2011, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) will require all large ships,including those carrying oil, chemicals or liquefied gas, to regularly report their location androute to authorities whenever they are transiting through the Park.The progress of each vessel will also be continuously tracked by radio and satellite, a furthermeasure designed to prevent accidents and safeguard one of Australia's most preciousenvironmental assets.Up until now mandatory reporting and tracking only applied to the northern portion of theMarine Park above Latitude 22 degrees south - see attached map.In preparation for IMO approval, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) andMaritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) have been rolling out the infrastructure necessary tosupport the reporting system such as sensors, communication equipment and modifiednavigational software. This work is now well advanced.In coming months The Hon Anthony Albanese, Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, hasindicated that he will be introducing legislation into the Parliament toughening penalties forbreaches of maritime and environmental laws with the aim of deterring shipping companies

Speaking atthe CIAA Congress in Brussels recently, Monique Goyens, director-general of the EuropeanConsumers Organisation (BEUC), said: "Being able to read what's on a packet is becomingmore difficult as more and more information is included and the letters get smaller."Goyens admitted she did not understand mandatory pictographs on packages and she wassupposed to be an expert. "In other words, the information has got to be processable by theconsumer. The information has got to be useful, understandable and legible," she said.EU health Commissioner John Dalli, who was also speaking at the event, accepted there wasa problem regarding information overload. "There is a dilemma: whether to give justsimplified information on a package or long and more precise data not understandable tothe public."Dalli claimed the European Commission continued to be pressed by the European Parliamentfor new packaging information. "We have to be careful," he said.The CIAA Congress also heard from Unilever CEO Paul Polman, who noted thatmanufacturers could play a key role in ensuring ingredients were healthy, regardless oflabelling issues.Polman focused on Unilever's ambitious 'Sustainable Living Plan', unveiled earlier this week,which he said would improve the nutrition levels in the company's products throughout thenew decade.Polman said the company had embarked on a "nutrition mission" for the two billionconsumers eating a Unilever product every day, with excess salt, sugar and fat contentunder consideration.

This repOli covers activities conducted by the Group from October 2009 toOctober 2010, and has been structured to report against each of the Group's roles.The Group considered it would be useful to include ShOI1 mmual reports from communityconservation groups in its almual report to illustrate to Council and each of the other groups,the amount of good work being undel1aken by community volunteers.The annual repOlis provided by community conservation groups demonstrate the enormousamount of community eff0l1 going into improving the environment in the City.

The Water Corporation has had to apply for its maximum extraction of 155GL from the Gnangara Mound under anexceptional drcumstance allowance to provide enough water In the IWSS for summer. The Corporation has also embarked on a targetedadvertising campaign to ensure the community reduces its water consumption, with a target of 50 litres per person per day. The Minister forWater, Dr Graham Jacobs has also stated that if the South West has another dry winter next year, a total summer sprinkler ban is imminent,even with the second desalination plant coming online In November 2011.The Association has had discussions with both the Water Corporation and the Department of Water about the implications of the dry season.An issue both these organisations raised were the complaints they received from the community about Local Govemment irrigationpractices. The majority of complaints received were for daytime irrigation and water wastage onto roads and footpaths.Although the vast majority of the sector is compliant with their license conditions and operating strategies, and has made a considerableinvestment and commitment towards water efficiency, Local Government water use is often targeted because it is so visible to the localcommunity.Local Governments are not pemnitted to irrigate between 9am and 5pm.

A specialsticker was placed on the child’s library card too denoting they are a ‘RipperReader’. The party event is very well received and is a positive way of outreachingand making the library a welcoming place for families and children.Most primary schools in the City of Armadale were sent a letter asking permissionfor a librarian to come and visit Year Ones in the school, read some stories andpromote visiting the library and joining the club during the first formal year oflearning to read at school. There are 22 primary schools in the City of Armadale and18 schools participated in the programme.There are about 850 Year One school children in the City of Armadale, and 118children joined the club. 61 children became members of the library for the firsttime as Ripper Readers and 57 existing library members joined the club. It was thefirst time that the program achieved over 100 Ripper Readers.The Ripper Reader Year 1 membership drive is a very worthwhile programme tooffer, with 61 new library members gained and hopefully we have encouragedlifelong library members and avid readers.

The Manager Libraries & Heritage presented the certificatesand sought feedback from the attendees on the usefulness of the training sessions.This was totally positive, with one person saying that she could not thank the libraryservice enough for this opportunity, that she had always been fearful of computersand that she truly appreciated the opportunity to learn in the non threatening libraryenvironment at no cost. The services of the two volunteers who assisted in runningthe classes, was acknowledged.The second set of training courses commenced in the week commencing 15November. A Beginners Course is run on Tuesdays and an Intermediate Course isconducted on Wednesdays. Both courses have been fully subscribed and it ispleasing to report that both courses are being run by volunteers, rather than a librarystaff member which was the aim in offering this service.As was reported in the Session 1 report, the age ranges of people attending thetraining sessions varied from 43 to 87 and was evenly divided between male andfemale. A recent article in the local newspaper reporting on the success andgraduation of the first two classes resulted in the library be inundated by peoplewishing to attend courses.

Information Bulletin – Issue No. 22/2010 Page 5Information Items from the Community Services DirectorateMONTHLY OFFICER REPORTSThe number of courses offered will depend on the number of volunteers who can beattracted to do the training. The assistance of the City’s Volunteer ServicesCoordinator in finding suitable volunteers is appreciated.1.3 District History Book updateAuthors Jennie and Bevan Carter of Historical Research and Publication Serviceshave completed the bulk of the text which is now with the appointed editor TomJenkins of Editing & Design. The editing task should be completed by the end ofMarch following which the authors will have the opportunity to make final smallchanges to the book prior to printing.Tasks still to be undertaken are the foreword to the book and the final small chapter“Looking Towards 2050”.It is probable that the proposed time frame of publishing in the current financial yearmay not be achieved, rather it may be in the first three months of the 2011/12financial year. The large amount of source documents that needed to be researchedand referenced will result in an extremely comprehensive but readable history book.All research not included in the final work will be an invaluable addition to theCity’s Local Studies Library.2.

Information BulletinInformation Items from the Development Services DirectoratePageD-2INFORMATION ITEM – COMMENTS ON ASPECTS OF THE APPROVALS ANDRELATED REFORMS (PLANNING) ACTBy Ian MacRae, Executive Director Development Services, City of ArmadaleThere have been some important changes to legislation and regulations over recent years – notablythe ability of Local Governments to commence amendments without WAPC approval and theelimination of the Ministerial appeal system. But the major elements of the Approvals Act areentirely negative and without justification.I will describe two of the elements - DAPs and Ministerial powers to require scheme amendments.Development Assessment Panels (DAPs)From the beginning, at the initial September 2009 Discussion Paper release of the concept of DAPs,it was obvious that it hadn’t been thought through.All the touted benefits were not benefits at all – most Councils pulled the proposal apart in theirsubmissions. It is a mystery how the Department of Planning came up with such a half-baked andunworkable idea without any sensible person casting their eyes over it before it was released. It iseven more mysterious why they are still going ahead with it.Usually submissions made by Councils and WALGA are quite polite. But not with this. Thenormally polite WALGA included the following adjectives in its submission: “naïve”,“misconceived”, “ignorant”, “unworkable”, “unacceptable”, “incongruent”, “meaningless”,“misguided” and “simply preposterous”.The Report on Submissions and the Minister’s Policy Statement released in April 2010 respondedto a degree by agreeing to increase the financial thresholds, and reduce the extent to which theadministration and costs would just be dumped on local government – but they are still going aheadwith it.To recap - The Discussion Paper blandly advocated DAPs as a solution to a host of imagined issueswith planning approvals. This was summarised under the heading “Benefits of DAPs”.• Timeliness – DAPs would in fact be quite likely to result in delays – but in any event as weall know the main delays are due to slow responses from state government agencies – butthe review of submissions washed its hands of this stating, “it is not within the scope of thisproject to amend referral agency timelines.” In any event a DAP will not be able to matchthe timeliness of Council decisions made under delegated authority.• Efficiency – Which ever way you look at it DAPs will introduce an additional processwhich will be costly to service, it cannot be more efficient. The development industry is yetto be informed of how much extra they will have to pay for the dubious pleasure of going toa DAP – if costs are to be covered it will have to be significant. The set-up and support of atleast 15 Panels to deal with the latest DoP estimated 140 applications a year (ie 9 each) willbe messy, costly and inefficient.

Information BulletinInformation Items from the Development Services DirectoratePageD-3INFORMATION ITEM – COMMENTS ON ASPECTS OF THE APPROVALS ANDRELATED REFORMS (PLANNING) ACT• Simplicity – the Discussion Paper argued that a major attraction was the elimination ofubiquitous dual approvals. Many of the submissions from local government demonstratedthis so-called benefit to be a complete myth. From the WALGA survey it was found thatover the past five years only .006% of DAs required dual approval and only a quarter ofthese would have been referred to a DAP (since then the threshold has increased to $7mwhich would result in even less DAP applications). Ie from the 15,000 applications in thesurvey only 5 dual approvals a year would have gone to a DAP – quite an argument for theintroduction of DAPs!• Transparency – it was claimed that a major benefit of DAPs was that decisions would betransparent and publicly accessible. It was particularly galling that the authors appear not tohave known that local government decision making is already open, it is state governmentdecisions that are in camera.• Sustainability – to claim that DAPs would be more sustainable completely strains credulity.Certainly more unsustainable travel would be involved for members, applicants andresidents. It was contended that the involvement of independent experts would ensuresustainable decisions – but if experts are so important to ensure that planning decisions areappropriately made how come they didn’t use an expert to draft the DAP Discussion Paper?• Accountability – apparently a benefit of DAPs is that they will be subject to a strict code ofconduct! WALGA’s eloquent response to this reads – “there is nothing accountable about abody that is not in any real way connected to the community for which they are makingdecisions. DAPs are completely removed from local issues, and simply including two tokenlocal government representatives in a minority position does not make up for this isolationfrom community needs and expectations.”• Fairness – the claim that it is somehow fairer for an applicant to be able to seek a review ofa decision to SAT from a DAP compared with a Council is astonishing.• Consistency – it remains to be seen whether DAPs will result in more consistency. Anumber of submissions reported on the relatively high congruence between officersrecommendations and Council decisions – but it is a dangerous assertion to suggest thatofficers are always right on discretionary planning matters! I suspect that the propertyindustry was rather hoping for a little inconsistency if it would assist their project approval!• Suitability – This last “benefit” related to a DAP being able to determine applications formatters of state and regional significance. Possibly the author was unaware that for the past50 years the WAPC has had this function. It was also claimed that DAPs would be suitableto determine applications made to a non-performing local government. Perhaps there areunderperforming local governments that need to be brought into line. A number of localgovernment submissions magnanimously conceded that decisions possibly should go to aDAP in these situations so one could ask whether the final proposal will address this?Apparently not. The report on submissions clearly states that – “The panels are not intendedto address underperforming local governments”. (p.7)

Information BulletinInformation Items from the Development Services DirectoratePageD-4INFORMATION ITEM – COMMENTS ON ASPECTS OF THE APPROVALS ANDRELATED REFORMS (PLANNING) ACTProbably the biggest mistake made on first canvassing DAPs was the failure to understand thataround 93.7% (from the WALGA survey) of DAs are dealt with under delegated authority leavingonly 6.3% to be determined by Council. For instance, over the past three years in Stirling 15 DAPapplications went to Council compared with 61 that were dealt with under delegated authority, inJoondalup the figures were 34 and 24 and in Rockingham 9 to Council and 68 under delegatedauthority.This initial and presumably remaining shortcoming of the proposal leaves open the possibility thatdelegations that have been working efficiently for years would be withdrawn and all theapplications would require a report and consideration by a DAP (in the interests of timely andefficient decision making)! Gosnells in their submission estimated that 29 additional reports wouldhave needed to be prepared over the past few years if DAPs had been in place, Rockingham wouldhave had 59.While quite a number of submissions drew attention to the issue of delegation – it was totallyignored in the April 2010 Report on Submissions. One would normally expect a report onsubmissions to report on submissions!While I level criticism of DoP in general for being behind the DAP offensive it is but a small cabal(maybe of one) – the vast majority of DoP officers will be simply ropable at the additionalworkload resulting from the establishment of DAPs.Additional Tasks for Department of Planning arising from the introduction of DAPs (from theApril 2010 Report on Submissions).• Provide Development Assessment Panel secretariat support (shared with local government).• Prepare officer report templates to ensure consistency across the State.• Prepare three guidance manuals to assist in panel operations for panel members, local governments andthe Department itself.• Create and implement a planning and the law training course for all panel members across the state(ranging from planning processes, policy, code of conduct, appeals to global influences such assustainability).• Produce an annual performance report on the panels to be tabled in parliament.• Keep a record of meetings and voting outcomes by individual panel members on the PlanningWAwebsite.• Refine the day to day operations of the panels.• Prepare standing orders, guidance manual and regulations relating to the operation of DAPs.• Notify the chair and panel members of a pending application and supply a copy and place a summaryon the DAP central website.• Organise the meetings.• Confirm and notify panel members of the meeting date and location.• Publish all agenda papers on the central DAP website.• Develop stationery templates for agendas, minutes and planning officer reports to ensure consistencyacross the state.• The Minister to receive complaints that allege a breach of the regulations relating to conflict of interest,declarations and breaches of the code of conduct.• Receive referrals from the Minister regarding complaints received and undertake investigations.• Prepare an annual report to the Minister to be tabled in Parliament to summarise trends and review theperformance of each panel. This would include information on applications, time taken to determine,complaints lodged, appeals etc.

Information BulletinInformation Items from the Development Services DirectoratePageD-5INFORMATION ITEM – COMMENTS ON ASPECTS OF THE APPROVALS ANDRELATED REFORMS (PLANNING) ACTI have identified 15 separate actions or obligations acknowledged, and presumably committed, inthe Report on Submissions. Some are one-off (like the preparation of a manual) and others ongoing(like the servicing of DAPs, investigating complaints, undertaking training and providing annualreports). Surely the person who thought this up can’t be oblivious to the huge additional workloadthey have bequeathed their fellow officers - when they can scarcely handle their current workload!If there is a person guaranteed not to get the DoP staff’s nomination for employee of the month it isthe person behind the DAP provisions!In addition there are 15 identified areas for Regulations to enable DAPs to operate. The Departmentand Parliamentary Counsel have been diverted for much of the past year preparing these.1.4 Regulations (April 2010 Report on Submissions p2-3)The regulations will address the following matters:• the types of applications that are to be determined by development assessment panels;• the duties and responsibilities of local governments and the Western Australian PlanningCommission (WAPC) in relation to development assessment panel applications;• the procedures to be followed in relation to development assessment panel applications,including the payment of fees;• the delegation of functions to a development assessment panel by local governments andthe WAPC;• the composition of development assessment panels;• the nomination and appointment of development assessment panel members;• sitting fees for development assessment panel members;• the creation and maintenance of a register of persons eligible to be developmentassessment panel members;• meeting procedures;• the removal of development assessment panel members;• the conduct of development assessment panel members, including conflicts of interest,gifts and breaches of the rules of conduct;• administration of development assessment panels;• the payment of costs and expenses incurred by development assessment panel members;• reporting on the performance of development assessment panels;• other miscellaneous and operational matters.The DAP proposals are manifestly nonsensical and flawed yet the Minister is still being advisedthat they have merit. He would not have got the full picture from reading the report on submissions,certainly if he had read the over 80 local government submissions (and being local governmentsthey are publically available) and thereby been exposed to the vitriolic invective and derision thatthe proposals were met with, he might have had second thoughts. Possibly he has also not beenmade aware that the Liberals in NSW are committed to abolishing DAPs. In the words ofOpposition Leader Barry O’Farrell “the NSW Liberals and Nationals believe local residents throughcouncils are best-placed to make planning decisions that shape their neighbourhoods.”

Information BulletinInformation Items from the Development Services DirectoratePageD-6INFORMATION ITEM – COMMENTS ON ASPECTS OF THE APPROVALS ANDRELATED REFORMS (PLANNING) ACTAll things considered; the small numbers of DAP applications, the additional costs, theadministrative nightmare associated with running DAPs and the difficulty of attracting crediblemembers prepared to subject themselves to the promised training regimen – I suspect the wholething will fall in a heap if they ever get up next year. If they do, possibly there will be an attempt topin the failure on local government’s negative attitude. So, the warning needs to be clearlyreiterated, as it was in numerous submissions, it is patently obvious that DAPs will not deliver anyof the purported benefits and will be detrimental to approval timeframes, increase costs toapplicants and further marginalise community interests.Amendments to Section 76The second matter I would like to comment on is the manner in which an amendment to S. 76 toradically undermine the autonomy of local government by empowering the Minister to requirecouncils to amend their schemes, became law.The Approvals and Related Reforms (Planning) Bill was introduced into Parliament and secondread on 18 th November 2009. Neither the legislation, the Explanatory Memorandum or theMinister’s speech made any reference to amending section 76.The Bill was debated on 4 th May 2010 between 4 and 6pm then adjourned for dinner. Debatereconvened at 7 and by 9.30pm all members had had their say on the Bill. Then the Minister JohnDay got up to reply noting that the contributions had been “overwhelmingly constructive and I verymuch welcome the opposition’s support for the bill.” Then the Minister advised that he would putforward eight amendments. The first three amendments related to DAPs (reflecting negotiationswhich had taken place with the parties). Four required the Minister to advise Parliament of anyrequired scheme amendment by virtue of an SPP, five deleted a provision to give quicker approvalto proposals within the Nation Building and Jobs plan and six related to model scheme textprovisions. Eight was to correct a typo. All agreed minor.Leaving seven. This was described as “the revision of the enabling power for general regulations toimplement model scheme text review recommendations” to amend section 76 “to clarify that theexisting power of the Minister under that section to direct a local government to prepare a localplanning scheme extends to scheme amendments.” This would have sounded quite innocuous,particularly after 10pm, to the members. The clause was passed in a block without debate two dayslater, fully passed the Lower House on 18 th May and the Upper House on 1 st July 2010.So what needed clarification? For decades it has been clearly understood by everyone in local andstate government that a Minister had no power to require a local government to amend its scheme.Whenever it had been suggested, as indeed the development industry had in the past, thegovernment had rapidly backed off in the face of community backlash.This apparent slight of hand (which even kept secret from key DoP officers) was queried with theDirector General when it came to light in September 2010. He advised that it had resulted from asuggestion in the Review of the Town Planning Regulations and MST May 2009 discussion paperand the subsequent Report on Submissions.

Information BulletinInformation Items from the Development Services DirectoratePageD-7INFORMATION ITEM – COMMENTS ON ASPECTS OF THE APPROVALS ANDRELATED REFORMS (PLANNING) ACTThe DG went on to conclude that “The reason for the amendment to section 76 was to clarify thatthe section could be applied to local planning scheme amendments, as there was some legalargument that the section already contained that power.”Indeed the discussion paper does include the suggestion, (without any justification), that anamendment to section 76 of the PD Act could result in the Minister being able to direct a localgovernment to amend its scheme. Hardly grounds to change the planning system.21 submissions of objection were received on the grounds of fear of spot rezonings, removal oflocal autonomy and being contrary to the views of the local community. These objections wereignored and the only argument supporting the amendment appeared to be the questionable statementthat “legally there has been some question as to whether the wording of section 76 extends toamendments.”There is not, and never has been, any legal doubt that section 76 refers to schemes not to schemeamendments. If there has ever been this legal doubt, it has been kept very quiet despite it beingforensically and repeatedly scrutinised over the years. This fiction has been extended in the recentlyreleased Planning Bulletin 102 with the claim that the amendment is a welcome remedy to thefailure to put the provision in the 2005 Act. This is a complete fabrication as Section 76 is a replicaof section 18(1) of the preceding Town Planning and Development Act and was never suggested tobe otherwise.What we have is a significant change to local government powers triggered by an erroneousassertion in a discussion document. From this Parliament was advised that there was a need for“clarification” implying that there was doubt before (which there wasn’t) and that the proposedwording would reflect a meaning that had been historically intended (which it already did). Whetherthis is a deception or being economical with the truth I’ll leave you to decide. The legal advice uponwhich the view of the need for clarification was based has not been made available. One doubts itsexistence. If it does exist, then we have unequivocal contrary legal advice.There is no other explanation than that there is a desire to undermine local government and strip itof autonomy from yet another area and obfuscate Parliament in doing so.Perhaps the reason for the amendment was that the original Bill’s DAP provisions would haveenabled the Minister, upon the recommendation of a DAP, to direct a local government to amend itsscheme.Although there was no mention of such a provision in the DAP Discussion Paper, it was containedin the original Bill but was roundly criticised and the Minister therefore agreed to delete it andindeed wrote to the President of WALGA (and thereby all local government) giving the undertakingthat it had been deleted, only to have it quietly slipped in via a different section – a trick of whichMachiavelli would have been proud!

Information BulletinInformation Items from the Development Services DirectoratePageD-8INFORMATION ITEM – COMMENTS ON ASPECTS OF THE APPROVALS ANDRELATED REFORMS (PLANNING) ACTSimilar proposals to allow the Minister to dictate to local governments over scheme amendmentshave been proposed in the past and have been headed off after concerted local government andcommunity opposition. This time this did not happen because it was snuck in at bed-time indisguise, as a formality, a clarification, alluding to some legal advice that did not exist. Those whowould have known the significance were not alerted.Perhaps the aphorism “be careful what you wish for” has currency here. Giving the Minister powersover amendments puts the Minister and the Department in the invidious position of adjudicatingover a host of dubious claims. The circulation to DoP staff of a 35 page guidance document and anavalanche of incomprehensible Planning Bulletins might tell you something! Defining what are“proper planning grounds” is not self evident. It has clearly opened up a can of worms.Why was this particular additional amendment required hot on the heals of the DAP provisionswhen powers already exist to require local governments to respond to regional needs and actresponsibly?Statutory provisions to ensure local governments do the right thing:• Minister may order a local government to prepare or adopt a local planning scheme (s. 76).• The Minister can require the local government to include scheme modifications imposed by theMinister (s. 76).• Local government in preparing or amending a scheme is required to take account of any SPP(s.77).• Minister may order local government to amend local planning scheme to be consistent withstate planning policy (new s.77A).• Power of Commission to bring down an improvement scheme over a local area (new s. 122A-M).• Schemes are required to be amended to be consistent with the MRS (s. 124 and s. 125).• Obligations under the Town Planning Regulations 1967 to ensure that an amendment oncecommenced continues to finalisation.• Power of the WAPC to approve a subdivision contrary to a scheme where the local governmenthas failed to update its scheme (s. 138).• Power of the Minister for Local Government to undertake inquiries and intervene under Part 8of the Local Government Act where a particular local government is acting improperly.All these checks and balances have existed for some time or were agreed in the 2009 version of theApprovals Bill – so why the draconian underhand addition?I suggest the only logical explanation for these nonsensical and unjustified changes to s. 76 and theintroduction of DAPs is nothing more than “to send a message” as to who is boss. As we have seen,it is not to reprimand or even assist under-performing local governments. It is to punish the wholesector!

Information BulletinInformation Items from the Development Services DirectoratePageD-9INFORMATION ITEM – COMMENTS ON ASPECTS OF THE APPROVALS ANDRELATED REFORMS (PLANNING) ACTConclusionThe real tragedy is that the priority given to DAPs and developer inspired amendments, diverts DoPstaff away from more useful real planning for land use and infrastructure at a time when we canleast afford it. There was a time when DoP assistance to local government with Enquiry by Designworkshops and structure planning was very welcome and placed the planning department of thestate above that of any state in Australia.Unfortunately DAPs and the amendment to section 76 are not being pursued to achieve betterplanning outcomes. They are being pursued without justification through questionable tactics. It isvery disappointing to find that advice emanating from a planning department would appear to bedriven more by pre-determined dogma than by planning logic. When advice is given without regardto the facts it risks being described as “political”. In such cases I usually turn to my King Jamesversion of the Bible where it states in Matthew – “all they that take the sword shall perish with thesword”!REFERENCES• Government of Western Australia, Department of Planning, Implementing Development AssessmentPanels in Western Australia, Discussion Paper, September 2009• Government of Western Australia, Department of Planning, Implementing Development AssessmentPanels in Western Australia, Report on Submissions, April 2010.• Government of Western Australia, Department of Planning, Implementing Development AssessmentPanels in Western Australia, Policy Statement, April 2010.• Subiaco Post, “Planning Law Fails”, Vol 37, No. 46, November 13, 2010.• Parliament of Western Australia, Hansard, May 4, 2010.• Government of Western Australia, Department of Planning, Review of the Town PlanningRegulations 1967 and the Model Scheme Text, Discussion Paper, May 2009.• Government of Western Australia, Department of Planning, Review of the Town PlanningRegulations 1967 and the Model Scheme Text, Report on Submissions, December 2009.• Government of Western Australia, Applications and Related Reforms (No. 4) (Planning) Bill 2009.• Government of Western Australia, Applications and Related Reforms (No. 4) (Planning) Act 2010.• Government of Western Australia, Planning and Development Act 2005.• Government of Western Australia, Town Planning Regulations 1967 (as amended).• Western Australian Planning Commission, Planning Bulletin 102/2010, Section 76 of the Planningand Development Act 2005, November 2010.• Western Australian Local Government Association, Submission to the Minister for Planning,Response to the State Government’s Discussion Paper, November 2009• Director General, Department of Planning, correspondence to City of Armadale relating to theApprovals and Related Reforms Legislation, 20 th September 2010.• Minister for Planning, Culture and the Arts, correspondence to President, WALGA, relating to theApprovals and Related Reforms (No. 4)(Planning) Bill 2009, May 2010.

New Business8.1 Global Navigation Satellite Systems vs Broad SpectrumFlight PathsMr Stuart Cole advised the Group that some research has been done and stated thatwe haven't had this debate as yet. Some web links have been sent to members andhighlights that a PAMG web page and portal will be of benefit. Mr Cole advised thatthe issue was brought up at AMAC conference regarding Brisbane Airport and theManagement Committee will provide further information on Brisbane's progress. Thetechnology was not widespread among all aircraft and we (the ManagementCommittee) are still researching the subject to explore what it means and what debatedrivers there are. Information from Airservices Australian and the new Aircraft NoiseOmbudsman will also make difference on the debate.Action:Debate on this Item held over to a future meeting.8.2 Draft MOU - Perth Airport Community Aviation ConsultativeGroupCr Godfrey opened discussion on the draft Memorandum of Understanding with aseries of questions directed to Mr Brad Geatches, Chief Executive Officer, WestraliaAirports Corporation (WAC).QuestionsCr GodfreyMr GeatchesCr GodfreyMr GeatchesWhy can't this group be part of the noise committee?Stated that he was conscious that we (WAC) have a number ofgroups and the noise committee is one of them. He was alsoconscious of white paper implementation and of having too manycommittees. By combining committees such as the noise committeewith the Community Aviation Consultative Group (CACG), he wasconcerned that there may cause a loss of focus. Mr Geatchesstated that WAC had decided not to have separate planning forumand Perth Airport Board committee will pick that up. White paperappears to intend that the CACG has a broader level of communityengagement and consultation. If the CACG joined the NoiseCommittee, there may be a dilution of focus on noise or noise woulddominate other subject matters, hence the desire to separate it fromthe other committees.How does it work feeding through PAMG?Mr Geatches circulated an amendment to the flowchart distributed atthe PAMG meeting of the 15 July 2010 as it had not been clearPerth Airports Municipalities Group IncMinutes - OGM 18/11/10Page 4 of9

Mr Geatches statedthat WAC do not want to control agenda items. The obligation is forPerth airport to come to the table with information. Mr Geatches wasof the view that the CACG will be more effectively run if administeredby the PAMG and be more independent.Cr YatesMr GeatchesCr MarksMr GeatchesCr CuccaroMr GeatchesCrDawMr GeatchesMrColeWould the CACG web link be off Perth Airport or PAMG?WAC would largely be guided by the CACG and the PAMG as towhat would be best. The onus is on Perth Airport to provide theresources ($).Decisions by the CACG - is it the independent chair to drive or willthe decisions go to Perth Airport or the PAMG?The independent chair would have the connection with thesecretariat to make it work. The Minutes of the CACG would findtheir way into PAMG meetings for information. Possibly theindependent chair would attend PAMG meetings to give its report.Stated a concern that the PAMG would still want to be own entityand that the new Administration line reflected in the diagram maycause issues with staffing and pressure on the PAMG's funds. Wasit the intention that PAMG fund that the administration or would it befunded by WAC?The cost of the resourcing of the secretariat would be fully funded byWAC. Perth Airport would fully fund the employment of secretariatas needed.Commented on the CACG's decision making ability, effectively theCACG is only an advisory committee. It was also likely that samefaces would appear on multiple airport groups (overlaps), will that initself give the community perception that it is made to fail?stated that WAC do not want it to be made to fail, consultation iscritical and may affect policies and decisions of which are very muchimpacted by consultation. Mr Geatches agreed that the same facesmay appear across multiple groups however the commonwealthdefinition for membership is broader and likely to get broader crosssection of the community. He stated that he would like to discusswith the PAMG who the PAMG thinks should be on the CACG andthat he (WAC) were opened minded on the issue.Stated that one of the gaps that will be filled, and referred tobrickworks - is the ability for the CACG to call public meetings onmajor issues which is a good opportunity. The mix of the group maychange but will bring the community together. Mr Cole stated thathe has spoken to Ms Karen Gosling at the Department ofInfrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and LocalGovernment (DoITRDLG).

The CACG will plug the gap and Ms Goslingwas very complimentary of the PAMG. Mr Cole commented thatattempts to get information from the Brisbane Council wereunsuccessful and is a closed shop situation as the Council has ashare in the airport. He also stated that the Sydney CACG operatesthrough the Commonwealth Department (DoITRDLG) and hasapproximately 40 members. There is an opportunity to commencethe group to meet the commonwealth's requirements and will growas the process improves.Mr GeatchesCr MitchellMr GeatchesCr DawMr Geatches stated that this is not a decision with a point of noreturn. If it doesn't work through the PAMG then MOU ceases hejust requested that we give it a go.Who determines make up of the CACG?Mr Geatches referred to government policy through the draft CACGguidelines and iterated that the guidelines were not regulating, justguidance. WAC has enough confidence and trust in the PAMG thatWAC is sure that WAC and the PAMG will jointly determine themembership.Cr Daw stated that he had tried to introduce at the Perth AirportAircraft Noise Management Committee (PAANMC) that memberscan bring along personal advisors to help to decipher the informationprovided to the Committee. Cr Daw expressed the hope that theCACG will include community members who have a high level oftechnical knowledge.Mr Cole said that clearly there were a number of things that needed to be sorted outwith the MOU and suggested that a recommendation along the lines that the PAMGdelegate the Management Committee to develop the MOU with WAC.Cr Reidy (City of Melvil/e) left the meeting at 8.00pm and did not returnRecommendation:That the PAMG:Grant approval to the Management Committee to commence the process to finalisethe Memorandum of Understanding with Westralia Airports Corporation for the PAMGto provide the Administration to the Perth Airport Community Aviation ConsultativeGroup.Outcome:Moved Cr YatesSeconded Cr Munn Carried 8 votes to 0Perth Airports Municipalities Group IncMinutes-OGM 18/11/10Page 6 of9

Cr Yates stated that he was not sayingwhat should or should not happen. Cr Yates suggested that it was up to the PAMG tocome up with some guidelines or position on what they would support.Cr Cuccaro stated that it will eventually happen that WA will get 24/7 trading and it(competition) will sort itself out. Cr Cuccaro did not see the need for the PAMG to beinvolved other than to monitor the situation.Mr Geatches was invited to comment. He stated that the airport is a 24/7 operationand usually the busiest period being midnight to the early hours of the morning andpeople who use and/or work at the airport have an expectation that services will beavailable.Mr Fraser commented that there were certain situations where 24/7 trading wouldapply i.e. the Commonwealth believe that for retail trading, State legislation shouldapply and the current State government intends to liberate trading hours as much aspossible. Mr Fraser agreed that the PAMG would not have any impact on the State'sdecision. Mr Fraser cited the example on Jandakot Airport land that the owner of theSpud Shed, which is a 24/7 operator, was in the owner's view serving a need in thecommunity.There was general agreement to monitor the situation.9.

Hence, this willfacilitate a healthy sense of competition between different areas, particularly through theinvolvement of individuals involved in Switched on Staff, who will inspire and motivate their workcolleagues.The sub-meters will be installed in December 2010, enabling the collection of baseline data tomonitor the effectiveness of the Switched on Staff initiative in advance of the new-year and identifywhere the greatest improvements are achieved.It is anticipated that the benefits of the project will be many, including:- Education of City staff on how to use the workplace more sustainably (this information willthen hopefully be transferred to their homes),- Behavioural change in the City, resulting in long term financial savings resulting fromreduced energy, water and resource costs.- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions and the implementation of several actions containedwithin the Corporate Greenhouse Action Plan, which has been endorsed by Council.Negotiation of Energy ContractsThe energy supply contract for contestable sites for the City of Armadale is nearing its end date of31 st December 2010 (contestable sites are buildings using in excess of 50Mwh per annum).Consequently, the City of Armadale Environmental Coordinator and Switch Your Thinking syt!Program Coordinator are currently in the process of negotiating an alternative supplier to provideenergy for two years from January 1 st 2011.Currently, 75% of the power utilised by the City is offset and this will be increased to 100%. Theenergy used plus the offsets are presently secured through a preferred supplier with WALGA.However, the open market will be explored with a view to offsetting total power usage whilstminimising the cost to the City. Hence, an environmentally friendly and economically optimaloutcome will be achieved for the City.
