ITEM-1 PROPOSED SURRENDER AND REISSUE OF PERMIT TO OCCUPY - LOT 1 ON PER7210, PARISH OF CAIRNS

DOCUMENT INFORMATION

MEETING: Ordinary

MEETING DATE: 5 August 2015

REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Senior Planner DEPARTMENT: Corporate and Community Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Paradise Queensland Pty Ltd trading as Kuranda Rainforest Tours & Kuranda Riverboat have written to Council requesting consent for the surrender and reissue of a permit to occupy over land described as Lot 1 on PER7210, Parish of Cairns, situated on the Barron River Esplanade, Kuranda. The current and proposed use of the land is for boat cruise and canoe hire business. The cancellation and re-issue of the permit to occupy will facilitate the sale and continuing operation of Kuranda Rainforest Tours & Kuranda Riverboat.

OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION

"That Council offer no objection to the surrender of Permit to Occupy PO 9/7210 and the issue of a new permit to occupy over Lot 1 on PER7210, Parish of Cairns for the purpose of 'boat cruise and canoe hire business', and also advise the Department of Natural Resources and Mines that Council has no knowledge of any local non-indigenous cultural heritage values associated with the land."

BACKGROUND

The subject land comprises 160 square metres of the Barron River Esplanade, Kuranda immediately adjacent to the established Barron River jetty. Permit to Occupy PO 9/7210 for the purpose of 'boat cruise and canoe hire business' has been held over Lot 1 on PER7210 since 27 May 1994 by Paradise Queensland Pty Ltd. Paradise Queensland Pty Ltd trade as Kuranda Rainforest Tours and Kuranda Riverboat and have operated from this site since 1982.

Data must not be used for direct marketing or be used in breach of the privacy laws.



The director of Paradise Queensland Pty Ltd is planning to retire and wants to sell Kuranda Rainforest Tours and Kuranda Riverboat as a going concern. DNRM Policy does not allow the existing permit to occupy to be transferred to a new business owner, instead the current permit to occupy must be surrendered and a new permit to occupy issued. To facilitate the sale of the business, Paradise Queensland Pty Ltd is seeking Council's consent for the surrender of the existing permit and the reissue of a new permit to occupy for the same purpose.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

Reconfiguring a Lot - Subdivision (2 into 10 Lots)


On 7 December 2007 a Planning and Environment Court Appeal was lodged by Miller Bou-Samra Lawyers on behalf of the applicant (Appeal No. 336 of 2007). The Planning and Environment Court denied the applicants appeal and the development approval took effect on 13 August 2008. Two (2) previous requests to extend the relevant period of the approval have been lodged and approved by Council. The relevant period is set to expire on 13 August 2015. The original application was code assessable and was therefore not required to undergo public notification. To date, no development works have commenced in relation to the approved development. The applicant has subsequently lodged this application to extend the relevant period for a further three (3) years from 13 August 2015 to 13 August 2018 (Attachment 2). The applicant's justification for not having completed the development thus far is due to the global financial crisis and subsequent standstill in the property market. The extension is sought to allow sufficient time for the market to improve and to allow for the development works to be completed. An informal policy position has been established by Council officers whereby any request for extensions beyond the initial extension be granted for a maximum of one year. A one (1) year extension would encourage the developer to act on the approval and also allow Council to reconsider the appropriateness of un-commenced development approvals on a more regular basis. Given that two (2) previous extensions have been granted, it is recommended that the relevant period be extended for a period of one (1) year only, from 13 August 2015 to 13 August 2016. Notwithstanding the officer's recommendation, Council may approve the requested three (3) year extension if it chooses

2. A Notice of Council’s decision be issued to the applicant advising of Council’s decision”. THE SITE The subject site is located along Fantin Road, Koah and described as Lot 174 and 175 on NR5801, Parish of Formartine, County of Nares. The subject site has a combined area of 148 hectares and is zoned Rural under the Mareeba Shire Planning Scheme. Both allotments are severed by Fantin Road, containing approximately 2.5 kilometres of frontage to Fantin Road which is constructed to an unsealed gravel standard. The western boundary of the smaller, severed portions of both lots 174 and 175 abut the Clohesy River. The subject site is relatively undeveloped, with the exception of a Caretaker's residence and ancillary buildings located on Lot 175. The land was formerly used for grazing purposes and is vegetated. In terms of topography, the subject land is characterised by well vegetated variable sloping hills and gullies. All surrounding allotments are zoned a mixture of Conservation and Rural.




BACKGROUND

Council at its Ordinary Meeting held on 16 October 2007, issued a development permit for the application made by Charles O'Neill Pty Ltd Surveyors on behalf of Wong Lau Developments Pty Ltd for Reconfiguring a Lot - Subdivision (2 into 10 Lots) on land described as Lot 174 & 175 on NR5801, situated at Fantin Road, Koah. The approval was granted subject to various conditions, including the upgrading of Fantin Road. On the 31 October 2007, Charles O'Neill Pty Ltd Surveyors, on behalf of Wong Lau Developments Pty Ltd wrote to Council making representations in relation to the approval and seeking the issue of a negotiated decision notice. Council, at its Ordinary Meeting held on 20 November 2007 resolved to confirm the original conditions. On 7 December 2007 Miller Bou-Samra Lawyers, on behalf of Wong Lau Development Pty Ltd lodged an appeal with the Planning and Environment Court (appeal No. 336 of 2007) seeking an amendment to the decision notice, in particular, the deletion of Condition 3 - Frontage Works (upgrading of Fantin Road to bitumen sealed rural road standard). An attempt was made by Miller Bou-Samra Lawyers to settle the matter out of the P & E Court; however, their proposed changes were rejected by Council at its Ordinary Meeting held on 16 July 2008. The Planning and Environment Court denied the applicants appeal and the currency period commenced on the 13 August 2008.


At its Ordinary Meeting held on 15 August 2012, Council approved a request to extend the relevant period of the approval for a further two (2) years. A further extension to the relevant period of one (1) year was granted by Council at its Ordinary Meeting on 16 July 2014. To date, no development works have commenced in relation to the approved development. The applicant has subsequently lodged this application to extend the relevant period for a further three (3) years from 13 August 2015 to 13 August 2018 (Attachment 2). The applicant's justification for not having completed the development thus far is due to the global financial crisis and subsequent standstill in the property market. The extension is sought to allow sufficient time for the market to improve and to allow for the development works to be completed. An informal policy position has been established by Council officers whereby any request for extensions beyond an initial extension be granted for a maximum of one (1) year. A one (1) year extension would encourage the developer to act on the approval and also allow Council to reconsider the appropriateness of un-commenced development approvals on a more regular basis. Given that two (2) previous extensions have been granted, it is recommended that the relevant period be extended for a period of one (1) year only, from 13 August 2015 to 13 August 2016. Should Council grant an extension the applicant would be advised that if they wish to proceed with the development they should proceed within the next twelve months because the proposed development may be inconsistent with the new Mareeba Shire Planning Scheme and a further extension may not be granted.

ASSESSMENT AND DECISION REQUIREMENTS Assessment rules Section 388 of SPA requires that Council must have regard to:

the consistency of the approval, including its conditions, with the current laws and policies applying to the development, including, for example, the amount and type of infrastructure contributions, or charges payable under chapter 8, part 1. If a new application was lodged for this proposal it would be assessed generally against the same planning instruments as was the original development application. On 2 December 2013, the former Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning introduced the single State Planning Policy (SPP) to replace the various State Planning Policies previously in place. Development approval REC/07/0091 is not in conflict with any relevant aspect of the SPP.

Applicable Infrastructure Charges Development Approval REC/07/0091 is not subject to fixed headworks/contributions. The external road network contribution is payable at the rate applicable at the time of payment.

the community’s awareness of the development approval


The original development application was Code Assessable and was therefore not subject to public notification.

whether, if the request were refused – (i) further rights to make a submission may be available for a further development

application; and (ii) the likely extent to which those rights may be exercised; A further development application would be Code Assessable and therefore not subject to public notification.

the views of any concurrence agency for the approval given under section 385. The original application did not trigger referral to any Concurrence Agencies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Council is in receipt of a development application described in the above application details. The application is impact assessable and one (1) properly made submission was received in response to public notification of the application. The applicants propose the construction of 3 x 1 bedroom, plus study, detached residential unit villas (triplex) on the subject site. Each villa will have a gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 125m2 and will be accessed from Nolan Street via individual driveways.


The application and supporting material has been assessed against the relevant statutory planning instruments, including the FNQ Regional Plan, the State Planning Policy, and the Mareeba Shire Planning Scheme (including codes and policies) and does not conflict with any relevant planning instrument. Higher density residential development within the urban footprint, like that proposed, is consistent with both the FNQ Regional Plan and the draft Mareeba Shire Planning Scheme and it is considered that any potential impacts on adjoining low density residential development can be adequately managed through appropriate conditioning. Draft conditions were provided to the applicant and have been agreed to. It is recommended that the application be approved in full, subject to conditions.

BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT Council at its Ordinary Meeting held on 15 April 2008 resolved to refuse an application for Material Change of Use - Residential Units (2 x 3 bedroom detached units) over land described as Lot 26 on SP206329, situated at 18 Seary Road, Mareeba (opposite corner of Seary Road and Nolan Street). The grounds of refusal were: 1. The population density for the development would be 69.4 persons per hectare. This is

above the 50 persons per hectare density limit prescribed by PS1.6(ii);

2. The proposed development is considered to be in conflict with the Overall Outcome 4.31(2)(d) of the Residential Zone Code. The proposed development is not considered to be visually compatible with the scale and character of the surrounding area;

3. Council does not believe that residential units should be developed in a new housing estate, unless all land purchasers have been advised of the proposed residential units prior to purchase; and

4. The issues raised by the submitters are of sufficient concern to Council to warrant refusal of the application.

Council officers had recommended this application be approved.

PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS & APPROVALS Nil

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The development application seeks a Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Residential Units (3 x 1 bedroom units) in accordance with the plans shown in Attachment 1. The three (3) proposed units will be located on-site as detached "villa" style units with a gross floor area of approximately 125m2 each. Each unit will incorporate:

Kitchen, dining and living area;

1 bedroom and 1 study;

Single bathroom and toilet;

Patio/outdoor living area; and

Single undercover garage. Each unit will be accessed via a separate driveway off Nolan Street with one visitor parking space for each unit provided in a tandem arrangement on each driveway. Each unit will be provided with a back yard area in excess of the Planning Scheme's desired 25m2 which will be privatised with internal screen fencing between each unit. 1.8 metre high fencing is also proposed along the north-east and north-west boundaries of the site.


The development will be connected to all urban services.

REGIONAL PLAN DESIGNATION

The subject site is included within the Urban Footprint land use category in the Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031. Mareeba is identified as a Regional Activity Centre in the Regional Plan. The Regional Plan Map 3- ‘Areas of Ecological Significance’ does not identify the site as being of any significance.

PLANNING SCHEME DESIGNATIONS

Planning Scheme Definitions The proposed use is defined as:-

Residential units means the use of premises for residential purposes comprising two or more dwelling houses which may be attached or detached.

RELEVANT PLANNING INSTRUMENTS Assessment of the proposed development against the relevant planning instruments is summarised as follows:- (a) Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 Assessment against the Regional Plan is required because the plan is not reflected in the planning scheme. The application is assessed as being capable of substantially complying with the relevant provisions of the Regional Plan, provided reasonable and relevant conditions are applied.

Advice This application did not trigger referral to an Advice Agency. Internal Consultation Development engineering PUBLIC NOTIFICATION The development proposal was placed on public notification from 12 June 2015 to 3 July 2015. The applicant submitted the notice of compliance on 3 July 2015 advising that the public notification requirements were carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Act. One (1) properly made submission was received objecting to the proposed development. The grounds for objection are summarised and commented on below:


Grounds for objection /support Comment

If the development is approved and the approval is acted on, the submitter is concerned that she will then have two additional backyards (three total) backing onto her south-west property boundary.

The proposed unit development will result in two additional back yards (3 total) backing onto the submitters south-west property boundary. However, conditions will be attached to any approval requiring the erection of 1.8 metre high solid screen fencing along this common boundary as well as the sites common boundary to adjoining Lot 2 on SP206329. It is considered this fencing condition will reduce any impact to an acceptable level.

The submitter is concerned that the subject site may be subdivided in future to separately title the three proposed units. The submitter is unclear as to whether a development application to Council would be required.

Once the unit development is complete, the applicant may separately title the units (Building Format Plan) without needing another development permit from Council. If this were to happen, it is unlikely this would have any additional amenity impact on the adjoining properties.

The submitter is unsure as to whether the unit development will be constructed as a whole or in stages.

The application does not propose a staged approach to the development. Additionally, in response to this submission, the applicants have stated that the three units will be constructed concurrently.

The submitter has questioned whether fencing will be in place during construction to minimise noise and dust nuisance.

The applicant/developer is required to erect the 1.8 metre high solid screen fencing prior to the commencement of the use (occupation of the units) and not prior to the building stage.

Guidelines for dust and noise nuisance on job sites (including allowable work hours) are set out in the Environmental Protection Act 1994 and enforced by Council's Environmental Health Department.

It should be noted that a single dwelling with a modest GFA similar to the total combined GFA of the three proposed units could be constructed on site as self-assessable development with the same potential impacts.

The submitter is concerned that the development will devalue her property.

This is not a land use planning concern.

The submitter does not believe the proposed development is appropriate in the locality.

The proposed development represents a practical and orderly use of the land and is consistent with the FNQ Regional Plan in that "an appropriate range and mix of dwelling types and sizes are provided in new residential developments" (DRO 4.4).

The subject site's proposed zoning under the draft MSC Planning Scheme is low density residential which would support self-assessable duplex unit development.

Refusing small scale unit development within the urban footprint would conflict with modern planning principles and set a negative precedent for future unit development throughout Mareeba's residential zones.

The submitter has questioned whether the service address for the three (3) units will change from Seary Road to Nolan Street.

Should the development proceed, it is likely that the new service address for the units will be "unit 1 -3, 2 Nolan Street, Mareeba".

The submitter has questioned whether the proposed development will trigger the requirement for a stop sign at the intersection of Nolan Street and Seary Road (currently a give way).

The proposed unit development will not trigger the requirement for a stop sign at the intersection of Nolan Street and Seary Road. The proposed unit development is not likely to have a significant impact on traffic movements at this intersection.


Submitters

PLANNING DISCUSSION Non-compliance with the relevant acceptable/probable solutions contained within the Planning Scheme's codes is discussed below: Car Parking Code Movement and Access S13 Access is safe, functional, convenient and located in accordance with the Road

Hierarchy Map R3.

AS13.3 All on site traffic movements are to be designed for all vehicles to enter and leave the site in a forward gear.

Comment The three (3) proposed units will be accessed via three separate driveways from Nolan Street. The driveways do not contain adequate provisions to allow vehicles to manoeuvre and leave the site in a forward gear therefore making the development non-compliant with AS13.3. Considering that Nolan Street is a lower order street which does not experience significant traffic volumes, and that the proposed ingress/egress arrangement for each unit is no different to any conventional dwelling in the surrounding locality, it is considered that the development still provides for safe, functional and convenient access to each unit. It is considered the development can achieve S13.

Residential Zone Code 4.33 Residential Units S1 Residential units are located close to essential services and do not detrimentally affect

the amenity of the locality (Preferred Area No. 1, as identified on Planning Scheme Maps Z2 and Z3). PS1.6 Population density does not exceed:

(i) for land within Preferred Area No 1 - 300 persons per hectare; and (ii) for land outside Preferred Area No 1 - 50 persons per hectare.

Name of principal submitter Address

1. June Hamilton 14 Seary Road, Mareeba


Comment Three (3) x 1 bedroom units represent a population density of 49.9 persons per hectare, satisfying PS1.6(ii). It is likely that at some point, one or most of the studio rooms in each unit may be used as a second bedroom. If all three studio rooms were occupied as second bedrooms, the assumed population density for the total development would be 70.4 persons per hectare. The Mareeba Shire Planning Scheme 2004 calculates population density at 2.4 persons per two bedroom unit. This population density assumption is carried over from the 1982 planning scheme and as such, does not reflect the reduction in average household sizes that has occurred over the past 30 years. Notwithstanding the potential for this relatively minor exceedance of the probable solution population density, development which is consistent with Specific Outcome S1 is consistent with the Residential Zone Code. With regard to Specific Outcome S1, the proposed development is located within reasonable proximity to essential services as well as commercial services. Given the design and scale of the proposed residential units, the development is also not likely to detrimentally affect the amenity of the surrounding area. The proposed development is considered to be relatively low intensity and is unlikely to have an adverse effect on the character or amenity of the area. The development satisfies Specific Outcome S1.

ITEM-4 REVISED 2015/2016 FEES AND CHARGES FOR URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING (CATTERIES)


MEETING: Ordinary


REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Senior Planner DEPARTMENT: Corporate and Community Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Council at its ordinary meeting held on 15 July 2015 resolved to amend the 2015/16 Planning fees and charges in relation to animal husbandry - intensive (cattery) development applications. The amended fee structure recognises the small scale and confined impacts of most cattery development compared to the complexity of assessment for the other animal husbandry - intensive uses such as boarding kennels, poultry farms and piggeries. This report presents the revised 2015/2016 Fees and Charges for Urban and Regional Planning activities for Council's consideration and endorsement.


"That Council adopt the revised 2015/16 Fees and Charges for Urban and Regional Planning, as per the attached schedule."

BACKGROUND

Council at its ordinary meeting held on 15 July 2015 resolved to amend the 2015/16 Planning fees and charges in relation to animal husbandry - intensive (cattery) development applications. Under the current fee structure, a development application (cattery) attracts an application fee of $3,845.00 being the Animal Husbandry - Intensive (Code Assessment - Large) fee. This is the same fee as applied to poultry farms, feedlots and dog boarding kennels. Due to the typically small scale of catteries and their confined impacts, this fee is considered excessive, particularly when compared to the complexity of assessment for the other animal husbandry - intensive uses. Council officers have determined that the time spent assessing cattery applications is generally equivalent to that which would be experienced when assessing a Code Assessable - Medium application.


It is therefore proposed that the 2015/16 Fees and Charges for Urban and Regional Planning be revised to charge Animal Husbandry - Intensive (Catteries) the Code Assessment - Medium fee of $1,440.00. All other Animal Husbandry - Intensive development applications will continue to be charged $3,845.00 as per the current 2015/16 Fees and Charges for Urban and Regional Planning.

ITEM-6 TRANSFER OF BRADY PARK TO QUEENSLAND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


MEETING: Ordinary


REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Manager Development & Governance DEPARTMENT: Corporate and Community Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A request has been received from the Mareeba State School for Council to grant them the land adjacent to the School (Brady Park) to be utilised as play space and an outdoor learning area. The request is made in light of the continued growth of the School and a shortage of play space and outdoor learning areas within the existing School reserve.


"That Council agree to the transfer of Brady Park to the Queensland Department of Education to provide additional play space and outdoor learning areas for the Mareeba State School and Council officers consult with the Department of Natural Resources and Mines on the required process to surrender the existing Reserve for Local Government Purposes (Lot 109 on NR6627) so that appropriate tenure can be granted to the Education Department to allow the land to be used for School purposes."

BACKGROUND

The attached letter from the Principal of the Mareeba State School requests that Council consider granting them the land adjacent to the School (Brady Park) for use as a play space and outdoor learning area. With the continued growth of the School and two additional teaching blocks soon to be erected within the existing School grounds, there is a desperate shortage of play space and outdoor learning areas for the students. In May 2009, the Tablelands Regional Council CEO wrote to the then School Principal offering the School the use of the oval on a long term arrangement provided that the School maintained the area (copy of letter attached). In view of the fact that the Park is ideally located to provide for the needs of the School and given also that it is not well utilised by the general public and there is an annual maintenance cost to Council, it is recommended that Council agree to the transfer of the Park to the Department of Education and Council officers consult with the Department of Natural Resources and Mines on the required process for surrender of the existing Reserve for Local Government Purposes and provision of appropriate tenure to the Department of Education to allow it to be used for School purposes.



COM 2 - Conduct an analysis of current community facilities and develop a Shire wide community facilities plan to guide the assessment of maintenance programmes, possible capital upgrades of existing facilities and community requests for new facilities to ensure equity of access. COM 3 - Encourage the building of strong partnerships with community, private sector and government so as to build community capacity and develop strategies to encourage and support leadership and self-responsibility in the community.

ITEM-7 AGED HOUSING SERVICE DOCUMENT INFORMATION

MEETING: Ordinary


REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Community Development and Engagement Officer DEPARTMENT: Corporate and Community Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report recommends a phased approach to implementing the second rent increase that is due on 3 August 2015 for the Aged Housing service. This approach takes into consideration a revised market rent appraisal that was conducted in May 2015 and a staged approach to implementing the full rent increase that will have a lower impact on tenants but will allow the Aged Housing Service to be self-funding within 3 years. Subsequent rent increases will be by normal annual increment based on Council Cost Index (approximately 2.6%) to take place annually in April, coinciding with annual pension increases. Further market rent appraisals are conducted as required for the ongoing rent review process.


"That Council implement the second Aged Housing rent increase in three equal stages on the 31 August 2015, 4 April 2016 and 31 October 2016."

BACKGROUND

1. Social Housing Provider Mareeba Shire Council is a registered Community Housing provider with 108 units in Mareeba, Mt Molloy, Kuranda and Dimbulah. Council has been provided with funding for 84 of these residences from the Department of Housing, either to upgrade the property or to cover the full construction of new units. Council must abide by the Community Housing Rent Policy (September 2013) with respect to the 84 units that have been constructed or upgraded with state government funding. For consistency regarding tenants and administrative efficiency, Council has been applying the Community Housing Rent Policy to all of the 108 units. The policy requires Council to conduct a rent review at least every 12 months.


2. Reviewing and Setting Rents 2.1 2014 Review On 19 November 2014 Council resolved to increase the rent for the aged housing tenants based on a commercial market appraisal of the 108 units: "Increase rental to comply with the Queensland Government's Community Housing Rent Policy and to reduce impact on the tenants phase in the rental increase over 10 months as follows: a) Increase rents on 2 February 2015 to all properties by 50% of the calculated rent increase; and b) Increase rents on 3 August 2015 to all properties by the remaining 50% of the calculated rent increase." The rent increases were based on the commercial market appraisal of each property that was conducted by real estate agents in late 2014. In accordance with the Community Housing Rent Policy, calculations were done using the Department's Electronic Rent Calculator Tool (ERCT) to determine if the rent for each property was set at the market rent or was no more than 25% of the tenant's income plus rent assistance, with the tenant to pay whichever is the lower amount. The Policy ensures that rent is no more than 25% of the tenant's assessable income plus rent assistance. For most tenants, the new rents introduced in February 2015 represented a significant increase due to the fact that there have been no incremental rent increases for approximately 10 years and the new market appraisals which provided a much higher rental rate. 2.2 May 2015 Rent Review A review of the methodology was conducted and the market rent appraisals were reviewed by the real estate agents who provided the initial market rent appraisals. The review took into account the unique features of Council's long term social housing properties including: • the financial contributions made by tenants to properties; • the low risk of property damage; and • the long term tenancy of most properties. The revised market rent appraisals for most properties was lower than the initial review. 3. Recommendation Tenants are expecting another rent increase in August 2015 of similar proportions to the first increase in February 2015, as Council advised them in writing last year. However, the revised market rent appraisals will deliver a lower rent increase for the majority of properties. Additionally, introducing the full revised rent increase in a staged approach over 14 months and aligning the rent increase with pension increases will lessen the impact on tenants, and allow the Aged Housing Service to be self-funding by 30 June 2017.

ITEM-8 QMSC2015-12 MAREEBA LIBRARY & KOWA STREET OFFICES CLEANING CONTRACT


MEETING: Ordinary


REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Manager Technical Services DEPARTMENT: Infrastructure Services, Facilities

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Tenders were called for the provision of cleaning services for the Council offices in Mareeba which include Kowa Street Offices, Donga and Soils Lab and the Mareeba Library and Donga being QMSC2015-12. The tenders required suitably qualified and experienced contractors to provide a cleaning service, based on a detailed work specification. The tender requested a fixed price for the term of the contract (inclusive of GST) being a two year period.


"That Council award QMSC2015-12 being the cleaning of the Council offices in Mareeba which includes the Mareeba Kowa Street Offices, Soils Lab and Donga and the Mareeba Library and Donga to Menzies International (Aust) Pty Ltd, for the lump sum of $31,920.99 (inclusive of GST) per annum."

BACKGROUND

Mareeba Cleaning Services has had a Contractors Service Agreement for the cleaning of the Mareeba Council offices and library. The agreement commenced on 19 January 2009 with an expiry date of 18 January 2010 with an option for a 12 month renewal. The option for renewal was agreed by Council and the Mareeba Cleaning Services agreement was extended with an expiry date of 18 January 2011. A tender was called in 2011, however due to changes in the responsibilities of the schedule of works the Mareeba Cleaning Tender was withdrawn. In 2012 a new tender was called for the Mareeba Cleaning with a recommendation to award the tender to a non-local supplier. This recommendation was questioned by Council and further information was requested. From the records, it appears that there was no decision up to the time of de-amalgamation and no further action was taken, therefore the agreement was not renewed and the above locations have been cleaned on a month to month basis.


Menzies International (Aust) Pty Ltd had been the contract cleaner for the Cairns Airport for over 18 years. It was not renewed only due to the specialized cleaning required that Menzies could not supply as the Airport grew. They currently are and have been for 10 years the industrial contract cleaner for Ports North. Sharon Gurney from Menzies International stated that the communication has been paramount in their company's day-to-day operations due to the remoteness of workshops, offices and amenities. While Menzies is a non-local supplier its tender is significantly lower than any other Tableland business even after being assessed with the additional 10% as per Council's Procurement Policy. The breakup of prices has been forwarded to Council ahead of this report. Because of this lower quotation submitted Council has carried out further investigations to verify the decision to offer Menzies International this contract. Referees were notified and gave Menzies glowing reports of both past history and current working relations. They have also confirmed that local employees would be engaged to carry out the required duties for this contract.


ECON 3 - Undertake the management of Council's assets in accordance with the long term asset management plans developed for all infrastructure asset classes to ensure the Shire's infrastructure networks are maintained and renewed to maximise their long term benefit to industry and the community.

Aquafix Mareeba $11,100 (inclusive of GST)

H2O Warehouse Port Douglas $11,484 (inclusive of GST) Details of the pricing received have been forwarded to Council separately to this report.

The current maintenance provider, Kirratech, did not provide a quotation by the closure date and when contacted, advised that they missed the advertisement in the paper. They also advised that their quotation for this work would remain as per the existing contract. Refer to Table 2.

Subsequently post submission meetings and discussions to confirm details of their submissions were held with the two companies who provided the quotations. Responses from these meetings are as follows.

Aquafix (John Arcidiacano) - A resident of Cairns and owner/operator of Aquafix Pool Shop in Mareeba for 18 months and having experience in pool maintenance and servicing since 2008 including water testing, chemical supplies, vacuuming, equipment servicing, repairs and sales.

Aquafix would rely on technical support for any repair work that may arise from the equipment at our pools. Mr Arcidiacano has gained knowledge of the Kuranda Aquatic Centres operations and has mentioned that he is trying to work out a way to dissolve the salt into a liquid form.

Aquafix currently services and maintains the 25m lap pool and also the smaller kidney shaped pool at Savannah Lifestyle Resort in Mareeba and has been doing so for a number of years. Even though the pool pumps, filters etc are still under warranty Aquafix has gained knowledge to assist the resort in breakdowns. Aquafix response time is immediate and Mr Arcidiacano is the sole pool shop operator in Mareeba, mainly servicing domestic pools.

H2O Warehouse (Mark Norman) - A resident of Julatten and owner/operator of the Port Douglas H2O Warehouse since 1999. H2O are experienced with commercial pools and are currently under contract to provide plant operations, cleaning and maintenance servicing to Sheraton Mirage, Pullman Sea Temple, and Peppers Beach Club. H2O also service pools and supply chemicals and commercial robotic cleaning systems to Weipa, Cooktown, Douglas, Cairns, Hinchinbrook and Cassowary Councils.

H2O are the only authorised commercial repair centre north of Townsville for Maytronics cleaners, a model which is currently in operation at the Mareeba Pool. H2O has knowledge of the service history at the Kuranda Aquatic Centre including its operations and equipment. On interviewing H2O to ascertain further assurance of their knowledge and skills, Mr Norman was able to provide advice on ways to support the operations of all MSC pools. A representative of Sea Temple at Port Douglas has indicated that the service received from H2O is of high standard and has found that H2O are always happy and prompt to assist and recommend improvements to both maintenance and operations of their resort pools.


Based on a review of the two quotations received and the summary of the discussions detailed above, it is recommended that H2O be awarded the contract, based on their superior experience with the maintenance of commercial pools. Table 1 below provides the schedule of maintenance works required at each of the three pools.

The current 2014 yearly service fees from Kirratech are detailed on the next page in Table 2.

ITEM-10 REQUEST TO NAME AN UNNAMED ROAD OFF BLACK MOUNTAIN ROAD, JULATTEN


MEETING: Ordinary


REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Manager Technical Services DEPARTMENT: Infrastructure Services, Technical Services Group

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A section of road reserve off Black Mountain Road providing access to four properties and has not been officially named. Council's road naming policy states that:

"Where an existing road is unnamed, a property owner may submit a written request to Council to name that road, by selecting an entry from the approved list for the relevant district. And Where a proposed name is not from an approved list, the proposal will be referred to Council for approval."

Accordingly Council wrote to the four adjoining property owners seeking their feedback on the naming of the road and this report provides details of their response.


"That Council select the name Riley Road from the approved list in accordance with Council's Road Naming Policy and as suggested by one of the respondents."

BACKGROUND

As part of Council's ongoing review of the road asset register and following requests from adjoining property owners, it was discovered that a five hundred metre length of road reserve off Black Mountain Road, Julatten was not named. Letters and the approved list of road names from the Road Naming Policy were sent to the adjoining property owners on 10 June with feedback requested by 3 July. Only two responses were received by the due date with the following suggestions: The first respondent suggested Otto Road after their recently departed father or alternatively Riley or Weston Road from the approved list. The second respondent suggested Crystal Road as the area is studded with quartz crystals or alternatively Bainbridge Road being their family name and who have lived in the area for a significant amount of time.


Riley Road has been recommended due to it being on the approved list and also suggested by the first respondent, however Council may wish to considerer any of the other six names listed and not already used. The Road Naming Policy and the approved list of road names was developed specifically for the purpose of honouring fallen soldiers from the district and when different suggestions for the same road are received, Council is not seen to be in favour of one respondent over another, therefore it is recommended that the name approved by Council be taken from this list.
