Background: On 27 June 2003, Council received a copy of the Town Planning Scheme

Examination Report for the Shire of Pingelly completed by Landvision. The Scheme Examination Report identifies the objectives of the existing Scheme No. 2 and recommends the need for a new scheme (No. 3).

It is a legislative requirement that the Scheme Examination Report be forwarded

to the Minister of Planning and Infrastructure for approval as part of the town planning scheme preparation process.

Comment: The Scheme Examination Report outlined that the existing Scheme has

effectively controlled and guided landuse and development, however Council is looking towards a more proactive Scheme befitting the economic realities of a country centre reliant on the fluctuating fortunes of an agricultural industry.

The Aims of the New Scheme

1. Protect areas of agricultural significance for sustainable production.

2. Encourage economic growth in rural areas by facilitating the more intensive and diversified use of rural land in appropriate areas for high value production products which are compatible with surrounding farm practices.

3. Encourage processing and value adding industries to be located within the Shire.

4. Provide opportunities for planned, contained and sustainable settlements in locations with access to services and infrastructure.

5. Provide for a range of rural lifestyle opportunities and ensure rural residential development is maintained to minimise impacts on rural land.

6. Protect and enhance rural landuse and environmental values.

7. Ensure good accessibility to services and facilities.

8. Protect the natural environment and biodiversity which ensures appropriate development opportunities within the local government are realised.

9. Promote the sustainable management of natural resources including energy, water, land, mineral and basic raw materials by preventing land degradation and integrating land and catchment management with landuse planning.

10. Provide for a range of housing choice with high level of amenity in townsites.

11. Provide for consolidated, accessible and attractive town centre with a mix of compatible uses.

12. Maximise opportunities for industrial, commercial and tourist development.


13. Protect, maintain and enhance where possible the visual elements of the town.

14. Encourage a better utilisation of existing infrastructure and increase usage of sustainable energy resources.

Staff Comment: To progress with the development of the Shire of Pingelly Town Planning

Scheme No. 3, it is necessary that Council resolves to prepare Town Planning Scheme No. 3 and forward a copy of the resolution to the Minister, together with a map delineating the scheme area and a copy of the Scheme Examination Report.

7.4 Restricting Access Times To Pingelly Waste Facility File Reference: 08.02.05 Location: Reserve 9593 & 22955 Great Southern Hwy Pingelly Applicant: Shire of Pingelly Date: 10 July 2003 Disclosure of Interest: N/A Author: Matthew Trichet, Environmental Health Officer/Building Surveyor Summary: Due to stricter annual licensing conditions set by the Department of

Environment, Council is now obligated to ensure that the Pingelly Waste Facility is securely locked when the facility is unattended. Therefore it is recommended that Council publicly advertise for a period of one (1) month that the Pingelly Waste Facility will now only be open to the public between the hours of 7.00am and 5.00pm (7 days). Following the one month advertising period it is recommended that Council securely lock the gates to the facility between the hours of 5.00pm and 7.00am (7 days).

Background: Management and operations at the Pingelly Waste Facility are ultimately

controlled and licensed under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. The Shire of Pingelly is required to conform to strict licensing conditions to reduce the possibility of environmental contamination. Condition G4 of Council’s licence dated 30 June 2003 set by the Department of Environmental Protection states: -

“The licensee shall take the following measures for the purpose of minimising the likelihood of pollution occurring as a result of any activity conducted or proposed to be conducted in any part of the Premises:

G4. The licensee shall maintain a fence at least 1.8 m high fence around the boundary of the active landfill area. The licensee shall ensure that any entrance to the premises is securely locked when the premises is unattended.”

Comment: A sign for the Pingelly Waste Facility is already located at the entrance to the

facility. Members of the public should be aware that the site will be closed outside of 7.00am to 5.00pm.

In addition, it is necessary that members of the public be further advised

through an advertisement in the Pingelly Times for a period of one (1) month. At the expiration of the advertising period, the facility should be closed and

locked outside the hours of 7.00am to 5.00pm as of 17 August 2003.

Staff Comment: The advertising of the closure is not open to public comment. The advertising is simply to advise the public that this restriction in hours is occurring. Council needs to be of the opinion that no one should need to be disposing of rubbish in the middle of the night.

7.5 Proposed Animal ‘Cat’ Establishment – Lot 7 Brown Street, Pingelly File Reference: 14.07.01 Location: Lot 7 (19-21) Brown Street Pingelly Applicant: Date: 14 July 2003 Area: 3058m2 Disclosure of Interest: N/A Author: Matthew Trichet, Environmental Health Officer/Building Surveyor Attachments: Site Plan, construction plan, scheme map Summary: On 8 July 2003, Council received a written application from

(the applicants) for approval to house up to 20 cats in an aviary type structure at the above mentioned premises.

The application was assessed as an ‘Animal Establishment’, a use that is not

listed under the Shire of Pingelly Town Planning Scheme No. 2 (the Scheme) and is therefore provided for Council’s consideration, subject to 21 days of advertising and decision by absolute majority in accordance with the Town Planning Scheme No. 2.

Background: Council’s Environmental Health Officer/Building Surveyor met with

on 4 July 2003 regarding their intention to construct an aviary-like structure at the subject property for the purpose of housing 12 cats which they own. At present, the cats are temporarily housed in kittening pens located in the applicants’ garage. The cats are of a Pedigree breed and also include show cats, Persian and exotic varieties.

On 11 July 2003, the applicants submitted a written application and plans of the

structure for Council’s consideration. The applicants are seeking Council approval to keep the animals in the proposed enclosure at the property.

The applicants are members of the Cat Owners Association of Western Australia

and have bred, showed and housed cats in the past. The applicants at this stage have indicated that there are no immediate plans for further breeding, however the applicants have applied for 20 cats (they currently own 12) to cater for future breeding programs and kitten breeding orders.

Comment: The applicants have indicated in their application letter that they reserve the right

to future breeding and would only ever breed for orders for kittens and to replenish their own breeding stock. Such activities can be deemed to be consistent with that of a commercial activity, however it is understood that this is not the primary intention of the applicant, more so to house the animals for personal use.

Legislative Requirements

Currently there is no piece of legislation controlling the keeping of cats. Council is awaiting the gazettal of Health Local Laws, which state that an owner/occupier of land within a residential zone shall not keep more than three (3) cats over the age of three months without the written approval of the local government.


Nuisance complaints arising from the keeping of cats may be dealt with under the Health Act 1911 or the Environmental Protection Act, however this only relates to such matters as noise, cleanliness, harbourage of vermin, infections disease etc.

Provisions do arise under the Scheme where commercial activities are carried

out at a property. The applicants proposed activities do constitute a commercial activity and therefore provisions of the Scheme do apply, therefore warranting a development application.

It is important to note that the applicants are not planning to board cats for other

people at any time in the future. Reference to the Town Planning Scheme

Under the Shire of Pingelly Town Planning Scheme No.2: - The subject land is zoned Residential under the Scheme. The proposed use can

be categorised as a ‘animal establishment’”. Under the Town Planning Amendment Regulations 1999, schedule 1, an ‘animal

establishment’ means: - premises used for the breeding, boarding, training or caring of animals for commercial purposes but does not include animal husbandry – intensive or veterinary centre.

In contrast an ‘animal husbandry – intensive’ means: - premises used for keeping, rearing or fattening of pigs, poultry (for either egg or meat production, rabbits (for either meat or fur production) and other livestock in feed lots.

The use ‘animal establishment’ is not specifically mentioned in the Zoning Table of the Scheme and cannot be reasonably be determined as falling within the interpretation of one of the uses of the Zoning Table. Therefore in accordance with clause 3.2.5(b) of the Scheme, Council may determine by absolute majority that the use ‘animal establishment’’ may be consistent with the objectives and purpose of the residential zone and thereafter follow the advertising procedures of clause 6.2 and consider the application for planning consent.

Advertising

Given the proposed use of the property and taking into account the requirement of clause 6 of the Scheme, it is necessary that Council consider the application and resolve to refer the proposal to public advertising. To ensure the provisions of the scheme are met, the proposed use will be advertised in accordance with Clause 6.2 of the scheme and placed in the next available edition of the Pingelly Times inviting comment on the proposed development within 21 days. In addition, notice of the proposed development is to be served on the owners and occupiers of land within an area determined by the Council as likely to be affected by the granting of planning consent. The properties to be advised in writing of the proposed development include: -


Name Address Premises E McGrath 23 Brown Street Pingelly Dwelling

T & A Horley 20 Shire Street Pingelly Dwelling

A Wyles 3 Parker Street Pingelly Dwelling

J Williams 17 Brown Street Pingelly Dwelling

The written notice to owners of adjacent land will state the purpose of the development and that written submissions may be made to the Council within twenty-one days of the service of such notice (refer to attached map). Aviary Type Structure

The proposed structure is 6.0m long, by 3.5m wide and 2.4m high making a total area of 21m2 (refer to attached site plan). The structure is to be made of zinc alum and course gauge wire. It is the applicants intention to concrete the floor at a later date. The structure is to be located 2.0m from the adjoining property on the western side of the property boundary and meets the minimum setback requirements provided in Council’s Town Planning Policy No. 10 – Outbuildings. Environmental Issues

The applicant has indicated that the waste/kitty litter will be collected and disposed of in the weekly refuse collection system. The provision of a concrete floor will further afford the effective cleaning of the pens. In relation to noise the provisions of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulation 1997 will apply to such an establishment and compliance with such legislation should be applied as a condition of approval if planning consent is issued by Council. In determining an application for a cattery, other Councils may determine to require the applicant to provide a Noise Management Plan to cater for the establishment, however at this stage, this has not be requested. Assessment of Application for Planning Consent

For Council to determine to grant planning consent it is recommended that Council resolve by absolute majority to advertise the application in accordance with clause 6.2 of the Scheme and subject to no objections being received at the expiration of the advertising period, approve the animal establishment, subject to the following conditions: -

1. The structure being located in accordance with the approved site plan and the Shire of Pingelly Town Planning Policy No. 10 – Outbuildings.

2. The establishment not being used for the boarding of other cats not owned by the applicants.

3. Noise generated from the establishment to comply with the provisions of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997.

4. The establishment is to be maintained in a clean state free from excrement, filth, food waste and all other matter which is likely to become offensive or injurious to health or to attract rats or other vectors of disease.

5. The internal floor of the establishment used for housing the animals, but not including the activity area is to be sealed with a smooth, durable impervious material that is easily cleanable. Furthermore, the surface is to be graded to prevent the pooling of water and the accumulation of water around surrounding premises foundations.


6. The maximum number of cats to be housed at the premises is not to exceed 20.

Staff Comment: Precedence When assessing such a proposal based on planning grounds Council needs to be aware of the precedence that the development will establish in a residential area. Council needs to determine by absolute majority that the proposed use is consistent with that of a residential area.

Complaints

Council’s Environmental Health Officer has received one written complaint and three verbal complaints regarding the number of cats roaming the town site and the number of cats kept at a residential property. Although the complaints are not related to this area, nor the applicant, it is an issue that has arisen with the introduction of a number of cats to the town site.

In this case the applicants have recently moved to the area and are planning

to house the cats in a structure to ensure their security and well being. The structure also includes a secure play area where the cats can exercise during the day.

9. ADMINISTRATION SERVICES 9.1 Firebreaks - Westnet Rail File Reference: 03.02.05E Location: Railway Reserve Applicant: Westnet Rail Date: 7 July 2003 Disclosure of Interest: Nil Author: Greg Carter, Chief Executive Officer Summary: Westnet Rail seeking Council approval to spray firebreaks. Background: Traditionally, Westnet Rail (Westrail) has complied with the Fire Control Order by

grading. They are now seeking comments on a proposal to spray firebreaks rather than grading.

Comment: Westnet Rail advise as follows:

“As present Westnet Rail spray the ballast / formation say 3 metres each side of the rail over the entire railway network. If this width was extended to say 5 metres either side of the rail = 10 metres (where there is no road) and 5 metres and 3 metres (where there is a road) = 8 metres, then the result should be safer than the existing 3 metres firebreaks. The access road / new located firebreak would then only require grading say every 5 years.

The Cuballing Shire has allowed this for some time (access road one side -

Highway on the other - and the firebreak / access road has gradually been upgraded to all weather access. In your Shire, there would need to be an approved width allowing for where there is a road on one side and whether the rail is in cutting or on bank formation etc.

Approval is requested to trial the above section with the “common firebreak / rail

access”.” Consultation: Chief Fire Control Officer Statutory Environment: Bush Fire Act Policy Implications: N/A Financial Implications: N/A Strategic Implications: N/A Voting Requirements: Simple majority Recommendation: That Council has no objections to Westnet Rail “spraying” firebreaks

to achieve a suitable firebreak as defined in the Fire Break Order to a width of 5 metres either side of the line where a road is not present and four metres each side where a road is present.

Background: The building that was used to house the Telecentre is now occupied by a private

accountant. Comment: Mr Sewell has expressed an interest in purchasing the building by private treaty

for the purpose of expanding his accounting business. As part of this, he would undertake the upgrade and renovation of the building.

Council could choose to sell the land via private treaty to comply with the Local

Government Act 1995 which would require the following procedure:

3.58. Disposing of property (1) In this section —

“dispose” includes to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of, whether absolutely or not; “property” includes the whole or any part of the interest of a local government in property, but does not include money.

(2) Except as stated in this section, a local government can only dispose of property to — (a) the highest bidder at public auction; or (b) the person who at public tender called by the local

government makes what is, in the opinion of the local government, the most acceptable tender, whether or not it is the highest tender.

(3) A local government can dispose of property other than under subsection (2) if, before agreeing to dispose of the property — (a) it gives Statewide public notice of the proposed disposition —

(i) describing the property concerned; (ii) giving details of the proposed disposition; and (iii) inviting submissions to be made to the local government

before a date to be specified in the notice, being a date not less than 2 weeks after the notice is first given; and

(b) it considers any submissions made to it before the date specified in the notice and, if its decision is made by the council or a committee, the decision and the reasons for it are recorded in the minutes of the meeting at which the decision was made.

9.3 Local Law - Standing Orders File Reference: 01.04.04 Location: N/A Applicant: N/A Date: 7 July 2003 Disclosure of Interest: Nil Author: Greg Carter, Chief Executive Officer Attachments: Proposed Shire of Pingelly Standing Orders Local Law Summary: Local laws pertaining to standing orders have not been finalised. Background: In August 1998, Council formally resolved to adopt local laws titled “Standing

Orders”. The process of formally adopting these local laws was never completed.

Comment: The Department of Local Government and Regional Development advise as

follows:

“The Department is currently reviewing local governments’ old local law files. During this review, it has been noted that in accordance with section 3.12(3)(a)(i) of the Local Government Act 1995 (“the Act”), first notice has been published for the Shire’s proposed Standing Orders Local Law on 17 May 2000.

We have also received a first copy of the local law in accordance with section 3.12(3)(b) of the Act. It appears however that your local government has not progressed the local law making procedure.

It has been noted that an extensive period of time has elapsed since publication of the local law’s first notice. While the Act does not expressly prescribe a timeframe in which the procedure for making local laws is to be completed, the procedure should be completed with ‘all convenient speed’ in line with the Interpretation Act 1984. Advice from the Crown Solicitor’s Office has indicated that the local law process needs to be completed in a timely way. It is the Department’s understanding that procedures which take more than a year could be subject to questions of legal validity. Accordingly, if the procedure for a local law has had delays of more than a year, the procedure should be restarted.

As the local law making procedure for the described local law has been delayed for a period longer than one year, should you wish to proceed with the law, the Department recommends that the procedure be entirely recommenced, including re-advertising in accordance with section 3.12(3)(a)(i) of the Act.”

Background: My contract of employment expires on 28 January 2004. A clause of the

contract states:

“The Officer shall, not later than six (6) months prior to the expiry of the Term, notify the President of the Council in writing of the impending expiry of the Term and the parties shall then discuss the possibility of entering into a new agreement for a further term.”

The above action has been taken and it has been mutually agreed (also

discussed during Corporate Business) that the next step should be for Council to appoint a panel to discuss any future contract with the CEO.

Comment: The contract also requires that a performance review be undertaken during the

term of the contract. It would be ideal to include the review as part of the contractual negotiation process.
