A message from the Administrator

As the countdown to the September 9 Council election marches on it is pleasing to see completion of some of the complex issues facing Council and the community during my 16 months as Council Administrator.

Last week I wrote about the fi nal outcomes of the 15 year Sportsgrounds Strategy. This week I am pleased to report on the progress of the long-awaited Hospital Structure Plan, setting out Council’s position in regard to property re-zoning to give effect to the creation of the new town centre adjacent to the new Northern Beaches Hospital.

Given the massive implications for many residents living in or around the hospital precinct I organised a special meeting of Council to deal with it. I also organised a two-hour presentation and Q & A session before the formal Council meeting to ensure everyone understood the plan, and that people wanting to express a view had the opportunity to do so.

More than 40 people spoke on the night, and it should be acknowledged that most were very unhappy with the plan because their land was not earmarked for a re-zoning.

I was proud of Council staff for the very professional way they handled themselves. While many speakers were upset, many acknowledged this fact. After three hours of listening I fi nally adopted the plan with a couple of small amendments.

The matter has now been referred to the NSW Planning Department for further consideration.

I believe the revised plan, with its greater fl oor space ratios, will deliver an even better outcome in terms of the nature of the new town centre.

The revised plan continues to press for 10 percent of fl oor space to be made available for affordable housing, with a 15 percent fi gure being set for the centre of the new development.

Another feature of the revised plan concerned the future of the Warringah Aquatic Centre (WAC). Previous consideration of demolition of the WAC attracted the largest number of submissions. The revised plan leaves the WAC where it is. The new high school will be built in the area behind the WAC and the existing baseball infrastructure will be fully protected.

A new precinct plan will now be developed for the whole WAC area.

Thank you for all those who participated in this overly lengthy process. I suspect fi nal judgement will not be possible until the project is completed.
