Acting General Manager's REPORT
Council’s Code of Meeting
Practice allows for the Council to resolve itself into “committee of the

speeches as required by Clause 250 of the Local Government (General) Regulation
2005.
This item enables councillors to
call any item they wish to be debated in “committee of the whole”
at the conclusion of normal business.
The debate process during a
‘normal’ Council meeting limits the number and duration of speeches
as required by Clause 250 of the Local Government (General) Regulation
2005.
Items should only be called at
this time if it is expected that discussion beyond the normal debate process is
likely to be needed.

|
Community Services Manager's REPORT
As previously reported Council is
obliged to have in place a Disability Inclusion Action Plan on the 1 July 2017.
The plan has been formulated as a
regional initiative between Blayney, Cabonne and Orange Councils with Elton
Consulting assisting to prepare the final document.
Regional consultations were
conducted with service providers and consultations held in each local
government area with a reference group formed to have more direct input into
the plan (copy attached).
The consultations held to date
have brought together diverse groups of people with these having potential to
become an ongoing access committee for Cabonne.
The plan emphasises inclusion of
people with disabilities in all aspects of community life and the elimination
or mitigation of barriers to this.
Each department of Council has
been consulted in its formulation and the plan will feed into Council’s
Integrated Planning and Reporting processes.

Acting General Manager's REPORT
As discussed at the
councillors’ workshop, on Friday 7 April 2017 the Mayor and Acting
General Manager met with the Mullion Creek Hall Trustees to discuss possible assistance
with the renewal/refurbishment of the Mullion Creek Hall.
The Mullion Creek Hall Trustees
have requested Council fund $20,000 for preliminary plans for a new hall on the
reserve adjacent to the existing hall. Should Council wish to provide
assistance, funding could be sourced from the Project Preplanning Activities
Budget.
At the workshop, concern was
expressed that an additional hall would create a greater burden in relation to
maintenance and that assistance with a new hall could create a
precedent.

Acting Director of Engineering & Technical
Services' REPORT
Council is currently undertaking
work on Cargo Road at the intersection with Bowan Park Road. During
construction, it has become apparent that a land acquisition is required to
purchase 64.12 sq m from Lot 3 DP 1015094 and 229.1 sq m from Lot 511 DP560739.
Council has been
in negotiations with the owner of Lot 3 DP 1015094. The owner has agreed to the
sale of 64.12 sq m to Council with compensation of $750 as well as a small
mound to be constructed on the inside of the new boundary fence (approximately
17m long). Council has agreed to pay all associated legal costs, lodgement fees
and fencing costs.
Council has been
in negotiations with the owners of Lot 511 DP 560739 regarding the acquisition
of 229.1 sq m of land. As a result of the road works and significant tree
removal and lopping in the area it is apparent that some areas of the fence
have been significantly damaged to the point that the paddock is currently
unusable. Council will need to replace 90m of fence line where the acquisition
will take place and it is evident that the next 265m to the south will also
need to be replaced due to significant damage of the fence. It is proposed that
this will be paid for out of the budget for the construction. Beyond this 265m
section the next 340m down to the entrance of the landowners’ driveway
also shows evidence of damage from the tree lopping as well as a lot of washing
under the fence that has lifted the fence in a number of places and undermined
the integrity of some of the posts along the fence line. It is evident that
there is damage that has been caused by the construction but has been
exacerbated by the fence also being in an aged condition.
In summary the
fence line from the owner’s northern boundary 0-45m is in average
condition and not significantly damaged as a result of the work. 45-135m will
be replaced due to the acquisition. 135-400m was significantly damaged due to
tree removals and as such will be replaced by Council. 400-740m has some
obvious damage in sections from washing and tree lopping that requires repair.
Council has agreed that in lieu of any compensation that it would pay for the
replacement of 740m of fencing. It has also been agreed that Council pay all
associated legal costs and lodgement fees.

SUMMARY
The following report provides an assessment of the modification
application to Development Application 2016/141/1 seeking deletion of condition
12 of that development consent.
The development application relates to a proposal for two (2)
self-contained, one-bedroom farm stay accommodation cabins to be constructed
upon a 23.7ha rural allotment located at 92 Heifer Station Creek Lane,
Borenore.
The application has been referred to the Council for determination
as the proponent seeks a variation to planning standards.
It is recommended that the application be refused.
Applicant: Andrew Saunders and Helen Chegwidden
Owner: Andrew Saunders and Helen
Chegwidden
Proposal: Requesting
deletion of condition 12 of development consent DA 2016/141
Location: Lot 4 DP 1025760 – 92 Heifer Station
Lane, Borenore
Zone: RU2 Rural
Landscape
Background
The subject lot was created vide DA 2001/003 as an irrigated
agriculture allotment. A section 94 road development contribution applied to
the subdivision. Subsequently in 2012 a development application was lodged and
approval granted for the use of the allotment for irrigated agriculture and an
ancillary dwelling. No section 94 development contributions applied as
contributions had applied at the subdivision stage. Central West Certifiers
issued a Construction Certificate for the dwelling in September 2013. No
notification has been received of the issue of a Final Occupation Certificate
for the development.
A development application for farm stay accommodation was lodged
with council in April 2016. The two (2) proposed cabins are to provide short
stay visitor accommodation with a target market including the district’s
FOOD and Wine Week and other festivals and events including the ANFD event at
Borenore.
Development Consent was issued under council’s delegated
authority on 20 June 2016 subject to conditions of consent. Condition 11 of the
Notice of Consent required a Bushfire Services Contribution Plan levy of
$382.70, while condition 12 of the consent required a Road Contributions Plan
levy of $9,073.75. Although the development was for two cabins, a discount was
applied to the contributions rates as the cabins were both one bedroom
facilities and the traffic generation of the two buildings combined was
considered equivalent to that of a standard residential dwelling.
A construction certificate was issued for the two cabin development
by a private certifier in August 2016. There is no record that a final occupation
certificate has been issued for the development, however it is noted that the
proponent is advertising the cabins as available for bookings with rates for
weekend and week days based upon a minimum 2-night stay.
THE PROPOSAL
The proponent requests the deletion of condition 12 of the
development consent. Condition 12 reads as follows:
12. ROAD IMPROVEMENT
CONTRIBUTION (RURAL DWELLING)
Objective
To make equitable contribution to address the impacts of development
on Council roads. The contribution has been levied to make improvements
to the stated road in accordance with Council’s Road Contributions Plan
dated April 2007, (General Rural Zone) or June 1993 (Rural Small Holdings
Zone).
Performance
The applicant is required to make a road improvement contribution of
$9,073.75 towards the improvement to Heifer Station Lane (Income Number: 5366)
to Cabonne Council prior to any Occupation Certificate being issued for the
dwelling.

Cabonne Local Environmental Plan 2012
The subject land is zoned RU2 Rural Landscape by the Cabonne Local
Environmental Plan 2012. The proposed development for farm stay
accommodation is permissible within this zone, subject to council’s development
consent.
Objectives of the
RU2 Rural Landscape zone
The proposal is not contrary to the aims of
the LEP or the objectives of the RU2 zone. The development relates to and
is consistent with the zone objectives which seek to
· To encourage sustainable primary industry production by maintaining
and enhancing the natural resource base.
· To maintain the rural landscape character of the land.
· To provide for a range of compatible land uses, including extensive
agriculture.
· To encourage diversity in primary industry enterprises and systems
appropriate for the area.
· To provide for a range of tourism-related uses that support the
agricultural industry or are compatible with agricultural uses.
· To protect drinking water catchments from the impacts of development
by minimising impacts on the quality and quantity of water entering drinking
water storages.

DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS
Council’s Bushfire Services Contributions Plan and Section 94
Road Contribution Plan for Rural Zones 2007 are applicable to the development
and conditions of consent were applied to the initial consent.
The proponent seeks deletion of the road contribution condition
(submission attached) based on there being no
nexus between the development and there being no specific works schedule
relating to upgrade of Heifer Station Lane. The submission suggests council
review its s94 Development Contributions Plan for wider landuse application.
In reviewing the applicant’s request, council may consider
either supporting the submission, or alternatively, maintaining the status quo.
The council’s Development Engineer has reviewed the submission
and provided the following comments:
In the
assessment of the proposed farm stay (x 2 cabins) it was considered that
proposed development met the ‘Nexus’ under the “Road
Contributions Plan (Section 94) for General Rural Zones” as per the
following extract:
(a) Determination of the additional population (or dwellings, floor
space, etc) generated by the development (causal relationship); and
(b) Determining from the above, the increased demand for amenities
and services and where and when they will be needed (the physical and temporal
relationship).
Council’s
original assessment of the proposed farm stay accommodation proposal determined
that the proposed development would generate additional population and floor
space (causal relationship), along with increased demand for amenities and
services when they are needed (physical and temporal relationship), and that
condition 12 of the issued development consent should be retained.
The council
has consistently applied s94 contributions across the Cabonne LGA in accordance
with the above nexus. The applicant is correct that a works schedule is not an
annexure to the roads contributions plan. Council is currently reviewing its
contributions plans.
The Cabonne Council Road Contributions Plan (section 94) for general
rural zones was adopted by council on 16 April 2007 and came into effect on 21
April 2007. The plan supported the then operative Cabonne Local Environmental
Plan 1991 or subsequent amendments to that plan, and related to land zoned
Rural 1(a) General Rural, 7(c) Environmental Protection – Water
catchments, and 1(f) Forestry. These zones transitioned in the standard
instrument Cabonne Local Environmental Plan 2012 to RU1 Primary Production, RU2
Rural Landscape and RU3 Forestry.
The purpose of the roads contributions plan is to provide a
framework to ensure public facilities are provided as part of new development
so that the existing community is not burdened by the provision of facilities
and public services as a result of the development occurring.
Section 2.3(b) of the plan states that the purpose of the plan is to
‘ensure that adequate public facilities are provided for as part of any
new development’.
Section 3 of the roads contributions plan addresses ‘nexus and
basis for contributions’. The document states:
‘Fundamental to the levying of s94 is the establishment of a
nexus between the proposed development and the need for increased amenities and
services. If council fails to demonstrate an increased demand for amenities and
services, it cannot charge section 94 contributions.
Three aspects of nexus can be identifiers – casual (sic),
physical and temporal. That is, the need for the service or facility being
levied for it must be a direct result of the development being levied; the
service or facility must be near enough in physical terms to provide benefit to
the development; and finally, that the service r facility must be provided
within a reasonable time.
Where a clear relationship between development and demand for
amenities and services can be demonstrated, council has satisfied the nexus
precondition for the levying of a section 94 contribution. (Dept of Planning
1992 Section 94 Contributions Manual p7)’
‘The basis for the council’s position with respect to
the nexus for Roads Contributions is that additional subdivision development
generates additional traffic on the service roads to such developments, which
in turn increases and brings forward the need for capital improvements to such
road. There is, therefore, a clear nexus between new development fronting an
existing Shire road and increasing traffic volume on that road. In turn, this
increase in traffic volume has a cost resulting from the need to improve the
road. The developer should therefore pay for that part of the increase in road
standard needed to address the impacts of his/her development.’
‘Council will hold contributions levied in the name of the
access road system servicing the development. Contributions will only be
expended in accordance with the works schedule and will only be spent on
improvements to the gravel access road relating to the development.’
The subject land was approved as a rural allotment. The site
contains a 1.9ha apple orchard, improved pasture for livestock grazing and a
three-bedroom dwelling approved as being ancillary to the existing and proposed
irrigated agricultural activity. A 4.3ha olive grove is proposed to be
established. Subsequently, two dwellings have been constructed for use as short
term farm stay accommodation.
The increase in commercial activity upon the site, being the
provision of short tern accommodation in purpose built cabins is considered to
be an additional traffic generating use of the existing unsealed local road
being Heifer Station Lane. Condition 12 of the development consent for DA
2016/141 reflects the nexus between the commercial accommodation use
incorporated into an existing farm site and an increased demand for public
access along Heifer Station Lane.
ANY SUBMISSIONS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT s79C(1)(d)
The proposed modified development is not advertised development; and
due to the nature of the development was not required to be neighbour notified.
PUBLIC INTEREST s79C(1)(e)
The proposed modified development is considered to be of minor
interest to the wider public due to the relatively localised nature of
potential impacts.
The council’s Development Contributions Plans, including the
2007 contributions plan require review. In particular, the plans need to be
revised to incorporate current legislation and the Cabonne LEP 2012’s emphasis
on tourism / traffic generating developments.
The review is being carried out by GLN Planning who are specialists
in this field. While the review of the current plans, and the preparation of a
comprehensive draft development contributions plan has proceeded substantially,
it cannot be finalized until a costed 10-year capital works program can be
provided to the consultant by council.
CONCLUSION
That
Modification Application for DA 2016/141/1 requesting deletion of Condition 12
of the issued development consent be considered by council, and that the road
contribution be required for the farm stay development proposed for land
described as Lot 4 DP 1025766, 92 Heifer Station Lane, Borenore.

SUMMARY
The following
report provides an assessment of the modification application submitted for review
of Condition 11 of the consent issued for construction of a three-bedroom
dwelling upon a concessional allotment being Lot 102 DP 1070947 known as 104
Kent Road, Mullion Creek.
The
application has been referred to the Council for determination as the proposal
seeks a variation to development consent.
It is
recommended that the application be refused.
Applicant: T
& S Low
Owner: Sarah
L Low
Proposal: Deletion
of condition 11 of development consent
Location: Lot
102 DP 1070947 – 104 Kent Road, Mullion Creek
Zone: RU1
Primary Production
Background
Development
consent was issued under council’s delegated authority on 22 April 2015
for a three-bedroom dwelling to be constructed upon a concessional allotment
known as 104 Kent Road, Mullion Creek. A private certifier issued a
Construction Certificate for the development on 25 February 2016.
The subject land was created via
subdivision under the former Cabonne Local Environmental Plan 1991, and
subsequently registered 21 July 2004. Lot 102 was created under Clause 14 of
the Cabonne Local Environmental Plan 1991 which allowed a dwelling (formerly
known as a concessional lot). As such, a dwelling is permissible under the
provisions of CLEP 2012 Clause 4.2A(3)(c).
The development consent issued
for construction of a dwelling required compliance with a number of conditions
of development consent. Condition 10 of the consent required an upgrade of the
vehicular access to the property noting that the access as installed at the
time of subdivision had not been maintained and had eroded. Condition 11 of the
consent required removal of roadside vegetation to ensure adequate sight
distance to permit safe ingress / egress to the property.
Other conditions of consent
related to provision of an internal access road, adequate on-site water supply
and use of non-reflective building materials.
The conditions of consent applied
to the dwelling proposal relate to the environmental assessment of the
suitability of the site to accommodate the proposed development. The removal of
roadside vegetation has been required to ensure safety to vehicles accessing
the concessional lot and to ensure the safety of road users. The requirements
are generated by the increased activity proposed upon the subject land, it
previously being rural land in character.
THE
PROPOSAL
The proponent
requests that council delete 11 of the development consent. (letter attached). The
proponent states that the vegetation is located upon council’s road
reserve and should be removed by council at its cost, or that the vegetation
should have been removed by the developer at time of subdivision of the land.
Condition 11
reads as follows:
11. REMOVAL
OF VEGETATION
Objective
To ensure
that safe egress is achieved by maintaining adequate sight distance.
Performance
The
applicant is required to remove, at his/her full cost, vegetation to the west
and east of the existing access to achieve a safe sight distance of 250 metres
stipulated in the RMS Guidelines for Safe Intersection Sight Distances.
Before Works
can commence the applicant must, in consultation with Council,
identify those trees, which will need to be removed to achieve the designated
sight distance.
The proponent
agrees that the vegetation clearing is required. In discussions on site between
the proponent and council’s Development Engineer it was identified that
vegetation including a pine tree and three gum trees would need to be removed
to ensure safe sight distance was provided to the driveway.
Site Map
The subject
land is rectangular in shape and has an area of approximately 5.01ha. There is
a pine windbreak around the majority of the perimeter of the site with the
remainder of the site being cleared of vegetation. There are no watercourses or
dams on the site. There is an existing shed in the north eastern corner of the
site. Surrounding land uses include grazing operations and associated
dwellings.
MATTERS
FOR CONSIDERATION
In accordance with Section 96(1) of
the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 the proposed modification is
of minimal environmental impact and is substantially the same development for
which consent was granted.

A dwelling is
permissible under the provisions of Cabonne LEP 2012 - Clause 4.2A(3)(c).
Part 6
– Additional local provisions
Clause 6.3
Terrestrial biodiversity
Whilst the
subject land is identified as “Biodiversity” on the Terrestrial
Biodiversity Map, the proposed development is not likely to have any adverse
impact on the flora and fauna of the land. The identified flora includes Red
Stringybark - Blakely's Red Gum - Yellow Box woodland (Vegetation on
Overcleared Landscapes). No additional measures are required to minimize or
mitigate the impacts of the proposed development.
Clause 6.4
Groundwater vulnerability
The subject
land has been identified as “groundwater vulnerable” on the
Groundwater Vulnerability Map. The proposed development will not have an
adverse impact on groundwater dependent ecosystems nor any cumulative effect on
the groundwater system itself. The development will not result in groundwater
contamination. No additional measures are required to avoid, minimize, or
mitigate impacts of the proposed dwelling.
Clause 6.8
Essential services
Adequate
provision of power, telecommunications, potable water, on site effluent
management and access can be provided for the site; as such meets the
requirements of the clause.
REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL
PLANS
There are no
Regional Environmental Plans that apply to the subject land.
STATE
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICIES
State
Environmental Planning Policy No.44 (Koala Habitat) applies to the
development. Cabonne Council is identified within the SEPP 44 schedule as
having koala habitat. The applicant has not addressed the SEPP; however,
the subject land is generally cleared and the proposed development will not
impact upon any existing vegetation. There are no known sightings of
koalas in the locality, or sources of koala habitat.
State
Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands) 2008 applies to the
development. The development for a dwelling is consistent with the provisions
of the SEPP.
PROVISIONS
OF ANY DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING INSTRUMENT THAT HAS BEEN PLACED ON
EXHIBITION s79C(1)(a)(ii)
There are no draft environmental plans that relate to the
subject land or proposed development.
PROVISIONS
OF ANY DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN s79C(1)(a)(iii)
Development
Control Plan No 5 – General Rural Zones applies to this development and is
generally consistent with the provisions of the plan.
PROVISIONS
PRESCRIBED BY THE REGULATIONS s79C(1)(a)(iv)
The proposal does not contravene the relevant
provisions of the regulations. A BASIX Certificate has been submitted with the
application and a condition has been included requiring the development to be
in accordance with the requirements of the BASIX Certificate.
THE LIKELY
IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT s79C(1)(b)
Siting
/location
The proposed
dwelling is to be located within the registered building envelope. The proposed
dwelling is to be sited approximately 207m front the Kent Road boundary,81m
from the western boundary, in excess of 75m from the eastern boundary and
approximately 50m from the northern boundary.
Visual
amenity
The proposed
dwelling will not have an adverse visual impact on the site or the surrounding
locality. There is a pine windbreak around the majority of the perimeter of the
site with the remainder of the site being cleared of vegetation. As such an
existing buffer to the surrounding area has already been provided. The dwelling
is consistent with other development in the locality which is usually
associated with grazing. Construction materials include weatherboard cladding
and galvanized roof sheeting.
Access and traffic
Access to the
subject land is via an existing access point off Kent Road. An assessment by
the Development Engineer determined the existing access point did not meet
council’s current specifications for private access and conditions of
consent were applied to require upgrading including provision of safe sight
distance at the intersection of the driveway with Kent Road.
The proponent
seeks to have condition 11 of the development consent removed.
Condition 11
related to the provision of safe and adequate sight distance. To comply it will
be necessary to remove several trees. The proponent is in agreeance that the
sight distance needs to be provided and the vegetation cleared, however does
not agree that such activity should be his responsibility as the vegetation is
located upon council’s road reserve.
The
requirement to obtain adequate sight distance is brought around only by the
development of the allotment for a dwelling. The potential increased daily
vehicular access to the allotment generates the requirement for council to
require that the access way is located and designed to achieve adequate sight
distance as per RMS guidelines for safe intersection sight distances.
It is noted
that the standard of Kent Road has changed in the years since the concessional
allotment was created, with the road now sealed for much of its length,
potentially altering the speed of traffic along that section of road. Provision
of safe vehicular access to land off Kent Road remains a consideration in any
assessment of a development proposal and relates to the current road standards.
It is
recommended that Condition 11 of the development consent be retained as
written.
THE
SUITABILITY OF THE SITE s79C(1)(c)
Physical Attributes and Hazards
There are no
known technological or natural hazards that would affect the proposed
development.
DEVELOPMENT
CONTRIBUTIONS
No
contributions apply to the development as bushfire and road contributions were
applied and paid at the time of the subdivision.
ANY
SUBMISSIONS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT s79C(1)(d)
The proposed modified
development is not advertised development and was not required to be neighbour
notified.
PUBLIC
INTEREST s79C(1)(e)
The proposed modified
development is considered to be of minor interest to the wider public due to
the relatively localised nature of potential impacts.
CONCLUSION
That Modification Application
2015/0133/1 seeking deletion of condition 11 of the development consent
relating to construction of a three-bedroom dwelling on land described as Lot
102 DP 1070947, 104 Kent Road, Mullion Creek be refused.

THAT
Councillors call any matters of urgency.
|
Acting General Manager's REPORT
Council’s Code of Meeting
Practice allows for the Council to consider matters of urgency which are
defined as “any matter which requires a decision prior to the
next meeting or a matter which has arisen which needs to be brought to Council’s
attention without delay such as natural disasters, states of emergency, or
urgent deadlines that must be met”.
This item enables councillors to
raise any item that meets this definition.

Acting General Manager's REPORT
Council’s Code of Meeting Practice
allows for the Council to resolve itself into “committee of the
whole” to avoid the necessity of limiting the number and duration of
speeches as required by Clause 250 of the Local Government (General) Regulation
2005.
This item enables councillors to
go into “committee of the whole” to discuss items called earlier in

Acting Finance Manager's REPORT
Council’s investments as at
31 March 2017 stand at a total of $41,527,549.
Council’s average interest
rate for the month was 2.51%. The effect of the low cash rate is
having a negative impact on term deposit rates offered by financial
institutions. The Reserve Bank’s official cash rate remained steady
at 1.50% during the month of March. However, Council’s
average rate is higher than Council’s benchmark rate of the 30 Day Bank
Bill Swap Rate of 1.62%.
Council’s investments are
held with multiple Australian financial Institutions with varying credit
ratings according to Council’s Investment Policy. The annexure to
this report shows a break up of each individual institution that Council
invests with and its “Standard and Poor’s” Credit Rating.
The Schedule of Investments for

There are currently 1866 school
age students in Cabonne Schools.
Still of concern
to some schools has been the timing and direction of bus routes in Cabonne
which sometimes makes it easier for families to send their children to schools
in Orange or closer to Orange rather than to attend local schools. This has
affected Cargo Public School in past years with numbers dropping to 12 in 2014.
Numbers there have since recovered to 18 Students in 2016.
Schools closer to Orange have
grown with Clergate School gaining 35 students in this period and Nashdale 56.
Students from the Cabonne area
perform well academically and in sport with Cabonne Schools having students
recognised as distinguished achievers amongst their Higher School Certificate
graduates in 2016.
Cabonne schools
have talented sportspeople and students have been excelling in sporting and
academic activities.
Students from
Molong have represented Western Region in Swimming, Hockey and Softball.
Yeoval Central
had over 15 primary students awarded with ‘Certificates of
Excellence’ and ‘Highly Recommended’ in the recent CWA Public
Speaking Competition.
Council’s Youth of the
Month Awards have been a good way to recognise these student achievements.
Canowindra High
students recently participated in the Love Bites Program run by the Western
Region Local Health Service. This program builds resilience and self-esteem in
students to help them deal with interpersonal life challenges including sexual
assault, domestic violence, peer pressure and general adolescent concerns.
Local secondary
schools have also been participating in the STEM program that aims to enthuse
students in working on a physical project that includes elements of science,
technology engineering and maths.
School to TAFE
programs are also important with senior students undertaking TAFE courses that
count towards their HSC and also gain credit towards a TAFE qualification.
Further details
of enrolments, number of teachers and student performance can be found on the
My School website, http://www.myschool.edu.au/
NAPLAN results
are available on this website and these can be effective in identifying schools
where extra resources are needed and to direct initiatives to address learning
needs.
Council has also
provided support to many schools through funding of special events and recently
assisted with travel costs for students to attend road safety training
programs.
Students from
Canowindra High, Molong Central and Yeoval Central Schools are being invited to
address a coming Council meeting.

Discover The Riches
Campaign
A new Discover the Riches
television advertising campaign was conducted on the Seven and Nine networks in
the week leading up to the April school holidays and the first week of the
holidays, which led into Easter.
The advertising was timed to
coincide with FOOD Week when additional visitors were in the region and
television advertising for the Age of Fishes Museum at Canowindra.
Discover the Riches is designed
to promote Cabonne and its villages, primarily through the television
advertising supported by a dedicated website and social media platform.
The next campaign is scheduled
for September.
Daroo Business Awards
The 2017 Cabonne Daroo Business
Awards will be held in Yeoval on 3 November 2017, with the Yeoval Catholic
School Parents and Friends Association providing the catering.
The committee met on 28 March
2017 and 11 April 2017 and preparations are well advanced.
With Cabonne Council no longer
subject to a merger proposal, the first order of business was to revert to
Cabonne Daroo Business Awards as the name of the event.
For the first time this year, a
new category will recognise businesses that are active in disability inclusion.
This dovetails with a strategy in Council’s Disability Inclusion Action
Plan.
The official launch of the Daroo
Awards will be held prior to Council’s Ordinary Meeting on 23 May 2017.
The committee will meet next on
Tuesday 9 May 2017.
Cabonne Small Towns
Development Committee
The Small Towns Development
Committee met on 11 April 2017.
The main outcome from the meeting
was a request for Council to reconsider its proposal to redesign town
entrances, main streets or focal points for its 11 towns, villages and
localities.
Representatives from Cumnock,
Cudal, Yeoval and Mullion Creek attended the meeting and expressed their
opinion that safety, accessibility and maintenance were more important issues
than street or entrance redesigns.
They believed the existing
entrances could be greatly enhanced by consistent mowing and asked Council to
consider an alternative proposal to employ additional staff to carry out
mowing, maintenance and cleaning in each of the villages.
It was pointed out that in many
of the villages, residents had to clean toilets and undertake mowing of public
areas on a voluntary basis.
The committee said a similar
design exercise was conducted about 10 years ago and the concept plans were not
implemented. They said a number of villages believed the plans ignored
community wishes.

Environmental Planning Act 1979 requiring securing the site and the demolition
of the structure. The order further related to the identification of and subsequent
safe removal of asbestos related building material. The order was complied with

Natural Disaster
On the 26 August 2016 the Notice of
Natural Disaster was declared by the NSW Department of Justice. This was
for the NSW Inland Storms and Floods event of 20 July 2016.
On the 27 September 2016 the second Notice
of Natural Disaster was declared by the NSW Department of Justice. This
was for the NSW Inland storms and floods 30 August 2016.
As a generalisation over the Cabonne road
network, the damage has been variable. The most significant impact has been on
the state road network, resulting from the increase of heavy vehicles, due to
the closure of the Newell Highway and the necessity to re-route the traffic
from Cowra to Cudal, Cudal to Parkes and Cudal to Molong. The RMS have
indicated that they would fund the repair work sustained due to the increase of
traffic. This work has been completed 7th December 2016 and monies
claimed.
On other sections of the network, Council
staff have gathered and recorded data relating to road and asset damage due to
the flood events. This data has been collated, costed and assessed by
RMS. Final inspections with RMS are occurring with a final cost to be
approved by both RMS and Council.
