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
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.

Recommendation

Director of Engineering & Technical
Services' REPORT
Central NSW
Councils (Centroc) represents over 236,000 people covering an area of more than
70,000sq kms comprising Bathurst Regional, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra, Forbes,
Hilltops, Lachlan, Lithgow, Oberon, Orange, Parkes, Upper Lachlan, and Weddin
Councils and Central Tablelands County Council. Centroc exists to do two
things – advocate on behalf of the region and support member operations
through regional co-operation and resource sharing.
To support member
operations, a Compliance and Cost Savings Program was created to add better
value to members and generate more cost savings to individual councils. The
program is being funded in part from the Centroc surplus and comes at no extra
cost to members.
The objective of
the program is to drive initiatives across the region to reduce Council costs
through:
1. providing a
regional approach to compliance with State and Federal legislation thereby
reducing costs to member Councils;
2. trialing
with the intent to implement products and services to reduce costs; and
3. implementing
regional contracts to reduce costs through group purchasing.
The program has
been in operation since 14 December 2009 and over $3,500,000 of savings to the
region have been realised through a variety of programs including desktop
telephony audit, on site telephony audit at some councils, diesel tax rebate
audit and a desktop electricity review.
Background on
the Centroc Supply Management Team
The Supply
Management Team was established in June 2003. The objectives of this team are:
1. Networking
of professional purchasing staff.
2. Achieve
savings through joint procurement of goods and services.
3. Generate
income through rebates to Central NSW Councils.
4. Facilitate
professional development and training of Council purchasing staff.
5. Encourage
use of the latest technology for communication and purchasing functions.
The Supply
Management Team has been successful in all of these areas over the past eleven
years and continues to provide ways for councils to save money and time through
working together regionally.
In addition to
bitumen emulsion, the team has currently negotiated regional contracts in road
signs, fuel and line marking services and are continuously looking at ways that
regional purchasing can assist Centroc members.
Background on
developing contracts for bitumen emulsion and cold mix
The Supply Management Team first decided to
do a regional contract for Bitumen Emulsion in 2004 culminating in a three-year
regional contract in 2005 with the process repeated at the completion of that
contract in 2008, and again in 2011 and 2015. The latest contract has also been
extended for 12 months. As we near the completion of the current
contract, Centroc seeks to repeat the process.

this arrangement are as follows:

At its
meeting on 24 July 2017, the Centroc Roads Technical Committee agreed to
include cold mix in the procurement process, alongside bitumen emulsion.
At the meeting of 27 July 2017, GMAC resolved to conduct a procurement process
for both bitumen emulsion and cold mix.
Should
Council agree to participate in a regional contract, Centroc will release an
RFT (Request for Tender) and proceed to a contract.
Centroc
seeks, by way of RFT, to identify suitable providers to supply bitumen emulsion
and cold mix for the period 1 March 2018 – 28 February 2020 with an
option for a 12 month extension. The RFTs will be run concurrently,
however will be separate contracts.
Advice
regarding service and pricing under a regional contract will be provided to
members.
Benefits of a
regional approach include:
· cost savings to
members through bulk procurement;
· time saved by supply
team staff though centralised coordination; and
· income stream to
Centroc from the contractor with a view to reducing fees
Council contribution
Centroc manages the process including all costs of
advertising and tender assessment and takes a management fee from the supplier
to cover these costs which council is not responsible for. The management
fee for bitumen emulsion is typically 0.5%, and cold mix will be 2% as annual
spend is much lower than bitumen.
Council should also give consideration to future compliance
with the contract.
Options
If Council was to participate in Centroc’s regional
contract for bitumen emulsion and cold mix, benefits of the larger buying power
of multiple councils will be seen in the purchase price as well as time saving
for council staff in not having to retrieve quotes each time a purchase of
bitumen emulsion is required.

Recommendation
THAT Council
supports the development of a Regional Economic Development Strategy for the
region encompassing the local government areas Orange, Blayney and Cabonne.
|
General Manager's REPORT
The NSW Government’s
announcement of a $1.3billion Regional Growth Fund includes various economic
development, jobs, infrastructure, business and community streams.
Historically though, significant boosts like this have not met nor achieved the
outcomes desired of the programs for regional and rural NSW. Grant money
has not been taken up and/or jobs not delivered.
A number of approaches have been
taken by the Government to accelerate the infrastructure roll-out across the
regions. The first being, the appointment of the NSW Regional
Infrastructure Coordinator, who has visited Central NSW and is working with
stakeholders and the Government to identify and overcome any roadblocks to
large capital infrastructure programs.
Further, under the new Regional
Development Framework, the Centre for Regional Economic Development (CERD) and
Industry NSW has allocated funding to enable for Regional Economic Development
Strategy’s (REDS) for Functional Economic Regions (FERs) across NSW.
The ‘Making it Happen in
the Regions: Regional Development Framework’ paper is attached and
explains the philosophy behind this project.
A FER is an area or group of
councils around a regional centre where employees are drawn and services
interconnected between surrounding towns. In this case, the regional
centre being Orange and surrounding towns where 90% of employees are contained
within the 3 local government areas (LGA’s) of Orange City, Blayney Shire
and Cabonne Councils.
The objective of this project is
to facilitate the regions in NSW to access Government infrastructure
funding. A REDS will identify the strengths in the region and identify
projects or investment opportunities to enhance the development, performance
and competitiveness of the region.
Previously, REDS developed by
individual Councils for their own LGA have not allowed for any comparison
between LGA’s and often do not consider the broader region. Also,
given the cost, smaller councils have limited capacity to develop comprehensive
plans.
A meeting was held on 21 July
with Industry NSW representatives, Orange City Council, Cabonne Council,
Blayney Council and consultants engaged by CERD for this FER; AgEcon Plus and
Gillespie Economics.
The methodology will include:
· Demographic
and Socio-economic audit of the region.
· Assessment
of performance and competitiveness.
· Audit
of institutional capacity and capability to undertake regional economic
development.
· Compilation
of a register of existing businesses, strength and weaknesses, social capital,
education and training.
Workshops planned for October,
tentatively in Orange and Blayney midweek and weekend and one-on-one interviews
will provide engagement with stakeholders, industry and business to identify
regional core competencies and competitiveness, regional risks, opportunities,
priority infrastructure projects and the development of action plans.
It is anticipated that this REDS
for the Orange, Blayney and Cabonne Region will be completed by the end of
December 2017. The REDS will provide both a regional and individual
council data analysis and will be a valuable document for completion of the new
Community Strategic Plan.
There are 12-stages for the
process the first of which is to achieve formal agreement from the region’s
key stakeholders being local government to undertake a facilitating and support
role. The outputs from the regional audits to produce a Regional
Information System and provide Market Intelligence, which will reveal regional
strengths and weaknesses.
Turning the REDS into a reality
will require an Action Plan with budget, source of funds, timeframe, and
responsible agency with identification of ‘investment-ready’
projects also identified in the Action Plan.

2. Affix the seal to
the lease agreement between Council and the Canowindra Preschool Kindergarten
Inc.
|
General Manager's REPORT
Council has received a request
from the Canowindra Preschool Kindergarten Inc to formalise a lease agreement
over the building they occupy on the corner of Ryall & Ferguson Streets
Canowindra. The Canowindra Preschool Kindergarten Inc are a s355
committee of council.
The committee have been advised
by the Early Childhood Education Directorate for the NSW Department of
Education to obtain a lease agreement to secure their Capital Works
Grant. This is a security provision that has no financial hold and is required
so that the interest of the department is accommodated and sees that the grant
is utilised for the next ten years to delivery quality early childhood
education. As part of their application, the Committee require from
Council, as owner of the land, a current lease for the site their business
occupies for a term of at least 10 years.
Council will recall a similar
request was made recently by the Cudal Community Children’s Centre and
should council determine it appropriate, a peppercorn lease with a nominal
rental of $1 per annum could be entered into.

|
Community Services Manager's REPORT
Council’s HACC and Family
Day Care Services were established in 1992 and are celebrating their 25th
Anniversary this year. Additionally, the Meals on Wheels services was
established in Cabonne 50 years ago and Council’s HACC Service is
planning to join with Meals on Wheels volunteers in celebrating the joint
anniversary in November.
Council’s HACC service was
originally established to organise and coordinate volunteer hot meal deliveries
prepared in hospital kitchens and to provide neighbour aid type services.
Over the years the service has developed and now provides a wide variety of
meal choices, community restaurants to improve social connections for clients,
lawn mowing and low level home maintenance services and up to 5 social events
each month.
The service aims to improve the
wellbeing and social connection of older people in Cabonne.
Council’s
Family Day Care Service has been an important service in Cabonne by providing
affordable quality childcare across the local government area. Over
the years it has provided employment for up to 30 people at a time to run a
family day care business from their own homes. It has enabled many more
families to participate in the workforce by providing them with home-like care
for their children and has been able to attract substantial Commonwealth
Childcare subsidies into Cabonne.
In the last 12 months over
$530,000 in Commonwealth Child Care Benefit was attracted to the area because
of the Family Day Care Service. Over the past 25 years, these services
have made a positive impact to people’s lives and boosted the Cabonne
economy by many millions of dollars.
The Cabonne Family Day Care
Service is planning to celebrate their anniversary with a family day for
educators and families in September 2017.

Acting Economic Development Manager's REPORT
Council has produced its End of
Term Report for the period 2012-2017 to report on the progress achieved during
the past five years.
The End of Term Report is part of
a review of the Cabonne 2025 Community Strategic Plan (CSP) as required by
Office of Local Government guidelines, which state that a report on the progress
of implementing the CSP must be presented at the final meeting of an outgoing
council.
Cabonne’s report is
attached as an annexure and a hard copy has been provided for each councillor.
The report has been produced as a
foldable D4 flyer to make it more readable and in a format which makes it
suitable to be posted to ratepayers and residents. This was Council’s
preferred format after earlier this year considering several examples of End of
Term Reports produced by other councils.
It contains concise summaries of
achievements and services provided by Council as they relate to the five themes

SUMMARY
The following report provides an assessment of the development
application submitted for the partial demolition of a heritage item known as
‘Quinn’s stables and situated upon land at 9 Molong Street, Molong,
being Lot 130 DP 876496.
The application has been referred to the Council for determination as submissions have been received
relating to the proposal.
It is recommended that the application be approved subject to
conditions of consent.
Applicant: Molong Early Learning Centre
Owner: Mr S and Mrs S Kenny
Proposal: Partial demolition of heritage listed stone
Location: 9 Molong Street, Molong being Lot 130 DP
876496
Zone: R1 Residential
THE PROPOSAL
The c1870s stone stables building located to the rear of a stone
cottage at 9 Molong Street, Molong, have been identified as being in poor
condition with risk of severe structural failure and potential damage to
adjoining property.
To the north/ north west of the property is the premise utilised by
Molong Early Learning Centre. The stone stables building forms the boundary
between the two properties. The child care centre has established a playground
area adjacent the stone stables. The centre’s management and their staff
are concerned that the stone stables building is at risk of collapse.
The childcare centre propose the following:
· Remove the majority of the roof of the stables building
· Demolish the main section of the eastern wall of the stables
· Demolish part of the northern gable wall
· Demolish approximately 1m of the top of the western wall, cap the
exposed stone top layer and point up the remainder of the western wall to
prevent displacement of stone material.
· Retain the stone material on site to enable later restoration of the
building
The proponent in their application state the purpose for which
development consent is sought is the restoration of the stables. The
documentation however reflects the activity proposed as the partial demolition
of the building

Cabonne Local Environmental Plan 2012
The subject land is zoned R1 General Residential by the Cabonne
Local Environmental Plan 2012. Demolition is permissible within this zone,
subject to council’s development consent.
Objectives of the R1 General Residential zone
The proposal is not contrary to the aims of
the LEP or the objectives of the R1 zone. The development relates to and
is consistent with the zone objectives which seek to
• To
provide for the housing needs of the community.
• To
provide for a variety of housing types and densities.
• To
enable other land uses that provide facilities or services to meet the day to
day needs of residents.
Part 5 – Miscellaneous provisions
5.10 Heritage Conservation
The objectives of this clause are:
(a) to conserve the environmental heritage of
Cabonne,
(b) to conserve the heritage significance of
heritage items and heritage conservation areas, including associated fabric,
settings and views,
(c) to conserve archaeological sites,
(d) to conserve Aboriginal objects and
Aboriginal places of heritage significance.
Development
consent is required under this clause for:
(a) demolishing or moving any of the following
or altering the exterior of any of the following (including, in the case of a
building, making changes to its detail, fabric, finish or appearance):
(i) a heritage item,
The consent authority must, before granting consent under
this clause in respect of a heritage item or heritage conservation area,
consider the effect of the proposed development on the heritage significance of
the item or area concerned. This subclause applies regardless of whether a
heritage management document is prepared under subclause (5) or a heritage
conservation management plan is submitted under subclause (6).
The consent authority may, before granting consent to any
development:
(a) on land on which a heritage item is located,
or
(b) on land that is within a heritage
conservation area, or
(c) on land that is within the vicinity of land
referred to in paragraph (a) or (b),
require a heritage management document to be prepared that
assesses the extent to which the carrying out of the proposed development would
affect the heritage significance of the heritage item or heritage conservation
area concerned.
The proponent states that the stone stables are in imminent risk of
roof collapse and consequential toppling of walls. A structural
engineer’s report dated 11 June 2016 supports the claim of buidling
failure and risk. The proponent has not provided any assessment of the heritage
significance of the stables or its contribution to the history and heritage of
Molong.
The proponent argues that the partial demolition of the building
would be of minor community interest and would benefit the operation of the
child care centre.
Council’s Heritage Advisor has provided comment and technical
advice relating to the stone stables building, details of which have been
provided to council as part of the monthly heritage reports.
In June 2017 the advisor reported to council that ‘
extensive consultation has been undertaken by the heritage advisor with all
parties in attempts to save this rare and historical structure from demolition
while protecting both parties. This has not been successful due to a shortage
of funds. Currently Anton Lynar Engineer has proposed demolition of elements of
the structure in order that the threat to the adjoining property can be
managed.
A DA has been submitted by the adjoining owner, the Molong
Early Learning Centre for demolition of parts of the heritage building.
· The Statement of environmental effects with the DA
emphasises the benefits to the ELC of removing parts of the building.
· The Statement does not address the loss of heritage value.
· The Molong & District Historical Society has not been
consulted over the heritage value.
· No mitigation works are proposed to off-set the demolition.
· The works are titled restoration in the DA submission when
they appear to be demolition.
· There is no drawn scope of works and the Lynar drawings
show the existing structures only.
· The drawings do not indicate where the materials are to be
stored on site for the future re-construction
The following additional information is requested from the
applicant in order that a full assessment can be made and an approval provided
for appropriate works – sufficient to meet the requirements of the ELC
and no more than that in order that the impact of loss in heritage value is
minimised.
· A professional photographic record is to be made of the
structure prior to works commencing. This is standard condition with
demolitions of heritage places and will assist in the future reinstatement of
the stonework and roof. Contact James Nicholson Architect in Orange or others;
· Anton Lynar to provide modified drawings to clearly show
the scope of the proposed demolition, materials storage and mitigation works to
safeguard the remnants;
· Anton Lynar will be required to attend the site during the
work to ensure the works are completed in accordance with the scope and that
any variations are necessary after consideration of all reasonable options.
Conditions of consent have been drafted to address the
advisor’s recommendations.
Part 6 – Additional local provisions
Clause 6.4 Groundwater vulnerability
The lot is mapped as being ground water vulnerable (Moderately High
– High) as indicated in the map below. The proposal to partially demolish
the stables building is unlikely to have minimal impact on the ground water.
Clause 6.7 Land affected by karst
The lot has been mapped as being land affected by Karst however the
development proposal is unlikely to have impact upon the limestone karst
geology.
REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLANS
There are no Regional Environmental Plans that apply to the subject
land.
STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICIES
No SEPPs apply to this development.
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)
No Development Control Plans apply to this land.
PROVISIONS PRESCRIBED BY THE REGULATIONS s79C(1)(a)(iv)
The proposal does not contravene the relevant provisions
of the regulations.
THE LIKELY IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT s79C(1)(b)
Siting /location
The stables building is located to the rear of a residential
property. The stone stables, and the adjoining stone cttage represent part
of rare and unique collection of historic stone buildings constructed in
Molong. The partial demolition of the stables will result in the partial
loss of a historic building that contributes to the history of Molong.
Given that the condition of the stables renders it as unsafe it has
become necessary to consider the partial demolition of the building, and the
storage of the stone material on site in the event that
reconstruction and restoration of the building can take place.
Visual amenity
The stables contributes to the streetscape and
the history of Molong.
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.
ANY SUBMISSIONS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT s79C(1)(d)
The proposed development was advertised and neighbourhood notified.
Submissions received are summarized below:
|
Submission issues
|
Comments
|
|
Submission 1
Molong Historical Society
The building is one of several stone rubble buildings, mainly
constructed by stonemason James Mortal jrn. While being understanding of
safety need, the society also recognizes the value within a community of
heritage assets. The society suggests that local groups such as the Mens Shed
organization, the historical society and other local interest groups could
offer assistance with labour, under supervision of a structural engineer, to
help restore / reconstruct the building.
|
Noted. The museum representatives have contacted the land owner to
offer their assistance.
|
|
Submission 2
R. Smith
Can council provide a grant to assist repair the building?
Council’s prior approval of a large shed adjacent the
stables removed opportunity for use of the stables as a b & b.
Suggests relocating the building to another location within
Molong, or leasing the site and open the area for public access
|
The annual local heritage grant has a total budget of $16,000pa to
be be applied across the shire. The guidelines indicate individual grants
of approximately $500 may be allocated.
Council’s heritage advisor, with the support of the Molong
Historical Society worked with the land owner to attempt to secure state
funding for the restoration of the stables as an urgent program. Funding was
not available to this project.
The warehouse located 30m east of the site was approved by council
in 2000. Development Applications are determined by merit based assessments.
The current DA is for partial demolition of the stables.
Removal of material off site is not proposed, or supported. The future use of
the residential allotment remains a matter for the land owner to consider.
|
PUBLIC INTEREST s79C(1)(e)
The proposed development is considered to be of minor interest to
the wider public due to the relatively localised nature of potential
impacts.
CONCLUSION
The proposed development is permissible with the consent of Council.
The development complies with the relevant aims, objectives and provisions of
the LEP. A section 79C assessment of the development indicates that the
development is acceptable in this instance. Attached is a draft range of
conditions considered appropriate to ensure that the development proceeds in an
acceptable manner.

SUMMARY
The following
report provides an assessment of the modified application submitted to permit
the siting of the proposed office and weighbridge,
workshop and hardstand, fuel store and hardstand, being components of the
proposed open cut mine (limestone mine) and ancillary processing plant that was
approved by council at its meeting of 20 December 2016, outside the
extraction area of the Westlime Limestone Mine at 115 Canomodine Lane,
Canowindra.
The subject land is currently identified as Lot 201 DP 1232203 and
was previously described as proposed Lots 100 and 101 in the subdivision of Lot
2 DP 590034, Lot 136 DP 664861 and Lot 137 DP 652082, and is known as 115
Canomodine Lane Canonwindra.
The
application has been referred to the council for determination as the initial
development application was determined by the council at its meeting of 20
December 2016.
It is
recommended that the application be approved subject to conditions of consent.
Applicant: Westlime
Quarries Pty Ltd
Owner: Mr
P Wythes
Proposal: Permit
the siting of the proposed office and weighbridge, workshop
and hardstand, fuel store and hardstand, being components of the proposed open
cut mine (limestone mine) and ancillary processing plant, to be clear of the
extraction area.
Location: Lot
201 DP 1232203, 115 Canomodine Lane, Canowindra
Zone: RU1
Primary Production
THE
BACKGROUND
The proposed
limestone mine is to be located approximately 10km to the north east of
Canowindra. The mine will consist of:
· Extraction
of up to 250,000 tonnes per annum of limestone and related material for a
period of 21 years
· Crushing,
screening and grinding of extracted material to produce a range of commercial
products including agricultural lime
· Construction
and rehabilitation of a final landform which will be geotechnically stable and
suitable for final land use of intermittent grazing
THE
PROPOSAL
It is proposed
to site the mine office and weighbridge, workshop and hardstand, fuel store and
hardstand infrastructure separate to the approved extraction area. The support
infrastructure is to be located within the defined project area, to the
immediate south of the extraction area and stockpile sites, adjacent to the
approved site access road of the approved development.
The
clustering of the operational infrastructure is suggested by the proponent to
be necessary to achieve operational efficiencies and to minimize potential for
conflict between administration activities and mining activities.
The office
and associated structures are proposed to be exempt development under the
relevant SEPP and will not require further council approval.
The proposed
additional area of development is approximately 0.1ha and will be offset by an
equivalent reduction in area of the medium stockpile area to ensure that the
total approved area of disturbance remains unchanged.
The proponent
also indicates that a slight repositioning of the approved processing plant
area to better accommodate future mining operations.
Site Map
MATTERS
FOR CONSIDERATION

Part 6
– Additional local provisions
Clause 6.3
Terrestrial biodiversity
The objective
of this clause is to maintain terrestrial biodiversity by:
a. Protecting native fauna and flora, and
b. Protecting the ecological processes
necessary for their continued existence, and
c. Encouraging the conservation and
recovery of native fauna and flora and their habitats.
The subject
land is identified as having terrestrial biodiversity, Endangered Ecological
Community - Blakely’s Red Gum - Yellowbox Woodland and derived
tussock grassland.
A Property
Vegetation Plan (PVP) as required by the development consent has been approved
for the site. The proposed modification application does not affect the initial
assessment of the site.
Clause 6.4
Ground water vulnerability
The
objectives of this clause are as follows:
(a) to maintain the hydrological functions of
key groundwater systems,
(b) to protect vulnerable groundwater resources
from depletion and contamination as a result of development
The modified
application does not impact upon the hydrogeology of the area or the
initial assessment of the development as submitted in the initial EIS. Appropriate
measures can be implemented to ensure the protection of the groundwater within
the area.
Clause 6.6 Riparian land and watercourses
The
objective of this clause is to protect and maintain the following:
(a) water quality within watercourses,
(b) the stability of the bed and banks of watercourses,
(c) aquatic and riparian habitats,
(d) ecological processes within watercourses and
riparian areas.
The modified
proposal addresses the mitigation measures proposed to ensure the protection of
water quality. There is potential for runoff from the development and this is
proposed to be managed by erosion and sediment control.
Clause 6.7 Land affected by karst
The objective of this clause is to ensure that development,
in areas of subsidence risk from karst, matches the underlying geotechnical
conditions of the land, is restricted on unsuitable land and does not endanger
life or property.
The modified proposal satisfies the development standard.
REGIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANS
There are no
Regional Environmental Plans that apply to the subject land.
STATE
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICIES
State
Environmental Planning Policy (Mining, Petroleum Production and Extractive
Industries) 2007 specifies matters requiring consideration in an assessment
of any mining, petroleum or extractive industry. The proposed modified
development is consistent with the relevant aims of the Policy with regard to
orderly economic use of land, while addressing the ecological and environmental
issues.
State Environmental
Planning Policy No. 44 – Koala Habitat Protection applies to the
Cabonne Council area. There are no known sightings of koalas in the locality of
the subject land. The OzArk ecological report submitted with the initial EIS
concluded that sporadic transient koala movements may occur in the project
site. The modified proposal does not affect the initial assessment.
State
Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 Remediation of Land. The subject land
has been utilized for agriculture, in particular livestock grazing, and it is
considered that the historical land use is unlikely to have resulted in land
contamination.
State
Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands) 2008
The relevant
aim of this policy relates to ‘measures designed to reduce land use conflicts’.

Cabonne
Local Environmental Plan 2012
The subject
land is zoned RU1 Primary Production by the Cabonne Local Environmental Plan
2012. A dwelling is permissible within this zone, subject to
Council’s development consent.
Objectives of the RU1 Primary Production zone
The proposal is not contrary to the aims of the LEP or the
objectives of the RU1 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 encourage
diversity in primary industry enterprises and systems appropriate for the area.
· To minimise the
fragmentation and alienation of resource lands.
· To minimise
conflict between land uses within this zone and land uses within adjoining
zones.
· To enable function
centres, restaurants or cafes and appropriate forms of tourist and visitor
accommodation to be developed in conjunction with agricultural uses.
Part 4
– Principal development Standards
Clause 4.2A
Dual occupancies and rural dwellings on land on RU1 and RU2 zones
(1) The objectives of this zone are as follows:
a. To minimise unplanned rural
residential development, and
b. To enable the replacement of
lawfully erected dual occupancies and dwelling houses in certain rural zones.
(2) Development consent must not be granted for
the erection of a dual occupancy or dwelling house on land to which this plan
applies, and on which no dual occupancy or dwelling house has been erected,
unless the land:-
a. Is a lot that is at least the
minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land
Lot 6 is within the RU1 Primary Production zone and Minimum Lot Size
(MLS) for a dwelling with the zone is 100 Ha. The land has a total area of
93.33 Ha and therefore does not meet the MLS provisions that apply to the RU1
zone. The proponent has sought approval based on clause 4.6 Exemptions to
Development Standards.
b. Is a Lot created under this Plan
Not Applicable
c. Is a Lot created under an
Environmental Planning Instrument before this Plan commenced and on which the
erection of a dual occupancy or dwelling house was permissible immediately
before that commencement
Not applicable
d. Is a lot resulting from a
subdivision for which development consent (or equivalent) was granted before
this Plan commenced and on which the erection of a dual occupancy or dwelling
house was permissible immediately before that commencement
Not Applicable
e. Is an existing Holding
Not Applicable
Clause 4.6
Exemptions to development standards
The subject
land has a total area of 93.33 Ha and does not meet the minimum lot size of 100
Ha to permit a dwelling in the RU1 Primary Production zone. The applicant seeks
recourse to clause 4.6 of the Cabonne LEP 2012 to vary the development
standard.
(1) The objectives of this clause are as follows:-
a. To provide an appropriate degree of
flexibility in applying certain development standards to particular development
b. To achieve better outcomes for and
from development by allowing flexibility in particular circumstances.
(2) Development consent may, subject to this
clause, be granted for development even though the development would contravene
a development standard imposed by the standard instrument. However, this clause
does not apply to a development standard that is expressly excluded from the
operation of this clause.
In regards to subclause (2), variation of the Minimum Lot Size for a
dwelling upon Lot 6 may be considered within the parameters of this clause.
(3) Development consent must not be granted for
development that contravenes a development standard unless the consent
authority has considered a written request from the applicant that seeks to
justify the contravention of the development standard by demonstrating
a. That compliance with the
development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the
case, and
b. That there are sufficient
environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the development standard
The proponent has addressed subclause (3)(a) by preparing a detailed
Property Management Plan for the land. The Plan takes into consideration
climate, landscape, soil types, water supply and vegetation type to assess land
capability.
From the proponents report, in consideration of subclause (3)(b), the property
is suited to grazing at relatively high stocking rates, provided pasture
quality and ground cover are maintained. The property is representative of some
of the more productive areas within the Molong region. It is considered by the
proponent erection of a dwelling upon the land will not reduce its potential
for sustainable agricultural production and will allow improved site management
without adverse effect upon surrounding land for agricultural purposes. While
the land could be managed remotely just as effectively without a dwelling it is
considered a managers residence could help facilitate some daily tasks. The
proposed development is not uncharacteristic of land use patterns in the area
and services can be provided in terms of access, power and on-site effluent
disposal. The proposal is consistent with the objectives of subclause
(3).
(4) Development consent must not be granted for
development that contravenes a development standard unless:
a. The consent authority is satisfied
that:-
i. The applicants written request has adequately
addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by subclause (3), and
ii. The proposed development will be in the public
interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the particular zone in
which the development is proposed to be carried out, and
b. The concurrence of the Director
General has been obtained.
The applicant has provided a written response to address the variation
of the standard with consideration to subclause (3). Further to this, Council
has assumed concurrence under delegation of Director General.
(5) In deciding whether to grant concurrence, the
Director General must consider:-
a. Whether contravention of the
development standard raises any matter of significance for State or Regional
Environmental Planning, and
b. The public benefit of maintaining
the development standard, and any other matters required to be taken into
consideration by the Director General before granting concurrence.
Contrary to public benefit, variation of the development standard
(100ha) erodes the state and local planning controls for sustainable
development of agricultural land.
Council has delegation to assess the application and concurrence by
the Director General is not required in this instance.
(6) Not Applicable
(7) Not Applicable
(8) Not Applicable
Part
5 – Miscellaneous provisions
There are no
miscellaneous provisions that apply to the proposed development.
Part 6
– Additional local provisions
Clause 6.8
Essential services
Council is satisfied
the following essential services that are essential for the development are
available:-
a. The supply of water
b. The supply of electricity
c. The disposal and management of
sewerage
d. Stormwater drainage, &
e. Suitable vehicle access.
REGIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANS
There are no
Regional Environmental Plans that apply to the subject land.
STATE
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICIES
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 Cabonne Council
area. The aims of the policy are, in part, to identify the Rural Planning
Principles so as to assist in the proper management, development and protection
of rural lands for the purpose of promoting the social, economic and
environmental welfare of the State, and to implement measures designed to
reduce landuse conflicts. The SEPP requires Council to consider the existing
and approved uses of land in the vicinity of the development (when it involves
subdivision or dwellings), and whether or not the development is likely to have
a significant impact on predominant or preferred land uses.
The subject
land and surrounding area consists of agricultural land that is predominantly grazing
and some viticulture. Topography, soil type and climate prevent this area from
being suitable for broad acre cropping. The total area of the land does not
meet the minimum lot size identified in Council’s Rural & Industrial
Land Use Strategy 2008 for sustainable residential development on agricultural
land. As such, the proponent seeks an exemption to the development standard.
Development
Application 2017/147 would facilitate at least one additional dwelling on the
property. The proposal is considered to be contrary to the principals of
protecting agricultural lands under the SEPP, however the impact is deemed
acceptable in this instance as the land will continue to be used for grazing.
Also, the dwelling is sited so that it is close to existing infrastructure on
the land (storage sheds and internal roads) and is setback an adequate distance
from neighbouring farming operations. No further subdivision of the land could
be achieved under current planning provisions. The proposal is considered to be
acceptable in accordance with State Environmental Planning Policy (Rural Lands)
2008.
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. The proposal for a dwelling complies with Section 3 Building
Requirements.
Context & Setting
Lot 6 is
within an agricultural area and surrounding land use is primarily grazing and
some viticulture. The proposal recognizes the primary use of the land is
agriculture and the development is sited near the existing shed and internal road
to minimse adverse impact to agricultural pursuits.
Visual amenity
The proposed
building is single storey and has been designed to be complementary to the
rural setting of the area. External construction materials are select face
brick and colorbond roof. A draft condition will apply for use of
non-reflective construction materials and prohibition of zincalume in
accordance with Council’s Policy.
The proponent
should also establish landscaping around the building which will help reduce
any further impact to visual amenity. The site has views to the north and east
but the proposed development is not likely to block any significant views
enjoyed by neighboring residences.
Access and traffic
Access to the
site is via an existing access and cattle grid on Peabody Road. Upon inspection
of the access it was noted minimum safe sight distance in both directions on
Peabody Road is only 200m to the south and north due to roadside vegetation
(long grass). A condition of consent will apply that the applicant remove and
maintain roadside vegetation at all times and a concealed access sign is to be
erected 200m north of the access.
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
Council’s
Bushfire Services Contributions Plan and Road Contributions Plan are not
triggered by the proposed development as these were paid at the time of
subdivision.
ANY
SUBMISSIONS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT s79C(1)(d)
The proposed
development is not advertised development.
PUBLIC
INTEREST s79C(1)(e)
The proposed
development is considered to be of minor interest to the wider public due to
the relatively localised nature of potential impacts.
CONCLUSION
A section 79C
assessment of the development indicates the proposal does not comply with the
provisions of the Cabonne LEP 2012 and the applicant has sought recourse to
clause 4.6 Exemptions to Development Standards. The proposal for a dwelling is
considered to be consistent with the requirements of clause 4.6 and the
Development Application is recommended for approval. Attached is a draft Notice
of Approval outlining a range of conditions considered appropriate to ensure
that the development proceeds in an acceptable manner.

The
application has been referred to the Council for determination as three (3) submissions have been received objecting to the
development.
It is
recommended that the modification application be approved subject to conditions
of consent.
Applicant: Agritechnology
Pty Ltd c/- Peter Basha Planning & Development
Owner: Agritechnology
Pty Ltd (D & K MacLennan)
Proposal: Installation
of evaporator unit in laboratory and delete conditions for waste, noise and
odour reporting
Location: Lot
13 DP 1023110, 36 Underwood Road, Borenore
Zone: 7(c)
Environmental Protection
BACKGROUND
In 2000 a
development application was lodged with council by Terra Consulting Pty Ltd on
behalf of Mr D MacLennan for a three (3) lot subdivision of Lot 2 DP 820924,
Underwood Road, Borenore, and the establishment of a winery/laboratory and
ancillary dwellings.
The
Environmental Services Committee Council considered the application at its
meeting of 6 November 2000 and a conditional approval was issued on 23 November
2000.
Stage 1
was the creation of proposed Lot 1(incorporating proposed Lot 2) and Lot 3, and
the construction of the winery/laboratory
Stage 2
was the establishment of the winery.
Stage 3
was the subdivision of Proposed Lot 2.
A first
modification application was submitted 12 December 2000 seeking inclusion of a
cellar door premises as part of the Stage 2 development, review of the
requirements for a water license, and review of road contribution charges,
approved 21 December 2000. Subsequently subdivision, construction and
occupation certificates were issued variously for the two lot subdivision
release and the construction of the winery/laboratory.
In June 2005
a second modification application was submitted to revise the design of the
proposed ancillary dwelling. The modification was approved by council subject
to revised conditions.
Since the
establishment of the laboratory a series of complaints were lodged with council
and the Environment Protection Authority relating to noise, odour and waste
disposal practices emanating from the subject land. Staff inspected the site
and issued directions to address on-site waste disposal. The proponent undertook
to carry out noise and odour testing and to provide further information to
council to clarify land use.
A third
modification application was lodged with council in August 2014 to broaden the
existing research and analytical laboratory operation carried out on the site
to incorporate research and development for new processes and products in
agriculture and food industries. The variation to the laboratory use arises
from the down turn in the wine industry. The modified development application
was approved, subject to revised conditions of consent including requirements
for regular reporting by accredited consultants on odour and noise monitoring.
The
PROPOSAL
The modified
development application seeks to install an evaporator unit, with a footprint of
3m x 3m x 11m, within the existing laboratory building additions. The proposed
evaporator unit is intended to eliminate wastewater from the laboratory
activities. As a result of the evaporator unit, the only wastewater generated
by the existing process will be from wash-down water which will continue to be
disposed on-site.
Condition
40(a) On-site Effluent Management
Condition
40(a) requires the proponent to provide Council with documentary evidence on a
monthly basis confirming that off-site waste water disposal is being
undertaken. It is requested that Condition 40(a) be amended to delete this
requirement on the basis that on-site wastewater disposal will be reduced due
to the installation of the proposed evaporator unit.
Condition
42(b) Environmental Control – Odour Assessment and Condition 42(c)
Environmental Control – Noise Assessment
Condition
42(b) & 42(c) requires the proponent to provide Council with odour and
noise assessments on a quarterly basis. It is requested that Conditions 42(b)
& 42(c) be deleted. The applicant has provided these reports since 2015 and
Council has not raised any concerns or issues relating to the results of the
reports. Despite this, it should be noted that Council is in receipt of
numerous odour and noise complaints about the premise. In response to these
complaints Council staff have investigated each matter and engaged with
Agritechnology accordingly.
Site Map
MATTERS
FOR CONSIDERATION
The proposed
modification satisfies Section 96(1A) of the Environmental Planning and
Assessment Act 1979 and is considered to be substantially the same development.
PROVISIONS
OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING INSTRUMENT s79C(1)(a)(i)
Cabonne
Local Environmental Plan 1991 (Amended)
The subject
land is zoned 7(c) Environmental Protection by the Cabonne Local Environmental
Plan 1991. The application seeks modification to the laboratory component
of the development. The laboratory was considered to be a rural industry when
the original development application was considered in 2000 under the former
LEP 1991. A rural industry is permissible within this zone, subject to Council’s
development consent.
Clause 2 – Aims and
objectives of the plan
The general aim of the LEP seeks
to facilitate development in a manner that encourages the proper management,
development and conservation of natural and man-made resources within the
Council area by protecting, enhancing or conserving prime crop and pasture
land.
The proposed modification is not
contrary to the aims of the LEP. It is noted that the additional of an
evaporator to the existing facility would have minor impact upon the area
currently available for agriculture as existing vineyard and orchard areas will
be further reduced in size. It would appear that the commercial agricultural
operation of the 9ha rural holding has ceased and that the primary use of the
site will be commercial laboratory research and development of food and feed
products.
Clause 10 – General
considerations for development within rural zones
The proposed development will not
have an adverse impact upon vegetation, timber production, land capability
(including soil resources and soil stability), water resources, future recovery
of mineral deposits, or the protection of scenic or recreational areas.
The modified development utilizes
existing facilities located upon the holding. Conditions of consent have ben
drafted to address current issues relating to on site waste water disposal
Clause 24 – Access
Access to the site is to be from
the existing Underwood Road access way. The road is a local road; however the
application was referred to the RMS given traffic from the site accesses the
local road from The Escort Way being classified as a Main Road.
The RMS has no requirements of
the development.
REGIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANS
There are no
Regional Environmental Plans that apply to the subject land.

SEPP 44
- 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.
Rural
Lands SEPP
This Sepp
applies to the land. A modified development is not inconsistent with the
provisions.
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. The
modification application is not inconsistent with the DCP.
PROVISIONS
PRESCRIBED BY THE REGULATIONS s79C(1)(a)(iv)
The proposed modification does not contravene the
relevant provisions of the regulations.
THE LIKELY
IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT s79C(1)(b)
Noise
impact
The modified
development application seeks to delete condition 42(c) Environmental
Control – Noise Assessment. This is based on claims that the
reports have been undertaken since 2015 and no concerns or issues have been
raised by these reports. The proponent also submits that the proposed
evaporator unit is located well towards the centre of the site and does not include
noise generating equipment except for small electric pumps that are to be
housed at the base of the structure.
In regards to
the above claims by the proponent, previous noise studies have been undertaken
and identified that day time operational noise levels at several nearby
residences exceed the relevant criteria as established by the NSW EPA
Industrial Noise Policy. The study also recommends further noise assessment to
confirm the effectiveness of the mitigation and / or identify any requirements
for further noise abatement. This was previously included as a condition of
consent and should be maintained to ensure existing noise levels and noise
levels from the proposed new evaporator unit are below NSW EPA industrial noise
threshold.
It should be
noted Council is in receipt of numerous written complaints regarding noise
impacts from the site. In response to these Council staff have engaged with
Agritechnology to address these matters appropriately. Council acknowledges
measures have been undertaken to reduce noise impact to neighbourings residents
and proper management of the laboratory equipment is beneficial to this. For
this reason reduced noise assessment reporting could be considered, from
quarterly to half yearly reporting. This would ensure best practice management
of the site and accountability of the proponent.
It is noted
noise impacts have been raised in each of the three submissions received by
Council in objection to the development. These submissions have been addressed
later in the assessment report.
Odour
The modified
development application seeks to delete condition 42(b) Environmental
Control – Odour Assessment. In addressing the potential impacts from
odour the proponent has submitted there are no aspects of the proposed
modification that would cause adverse or additional odour impact and that the
evaporator unit essentially represents an improved method of treating
wastewater in a sealed system and does not represent a potential odour source.
While the
proposed modification application does not represent any additional sources of
odour, this does not negate the requirement for quarterly reporting. From
submissions received by three neighbouring residents it is evident that odour
emmitted from the site is an on-going problem when environmental conditions
allow. For this reason, odour assessment should be maintained at the current
rate of quarterly reporting or reduced to half yearly reporting. It should not
be removed entirely, this is to ensure the proponent remains accountable for
odour impacts from the site.
Water
quality
The proponent
seeks to delete condition 40(a) on-site effluent management which
currently requires monthly reporting. The proposed evaporator unit will recycle
the majority of the wastewater back into the process. Small volumes of
wastewater will continue to be generated by washing activities and will
continue to be managed on-site. The installation of an evaporator is considered
to be a higher level of waste water management which will ultimately be better
for local water quality. Environmental reporting will be required to measure
the existing waste system, and ultimately the proposed evaporator. It is
suggested that the condition of consent be amended to require quarterly
monitoring.
Visual
amenity
No change
from previous assessment of impact to visual amenity from the
development.
Access and traffic
No change from previous assessment of access and traffic
arrangements at the site.
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 modified development.
DEVELOPMENT
CONTRIBUTIONS
No
contributions apply to the development.
ANY
SUBMISSIONS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT s79C(1)(d)
The proposed
development was neighbourhood notified. Three (3) submissions were
received by the close of the exhibition phase. Issues raised in the
submissions are summarised as follows:
|
Submission
|
Issues
|
Comment
|
|
1
|
Documentary
evidence of wastewater disposal be continued so that it can be substantiated
that this new method of effluent reduction is best practice & good
quality control.
|
No proposed
changes to wastewater management practices except for the installation of new
evaporator which will be beneficial to the site.
|
|
|
Condition
42(b) odour assessment & 42 (c) noise assessment be continued on a
quarterly basis.
|
Noted. It
is recommended that reporting obligations remain on the conditions of
consent.
|
|
2
|
The
proposed evaporator unit is not included in the noise assessment conducted
previously. Similarly there was no assessment of the odour likely to be
generated by a change in the disposal of waste water. It is impossible to
conduct a noise assessment without instrumental measurement on-site of noise
produced by the machinery. Council is requested to insist on an actual
assessment, similar to what was conducted previously, to ensure the
evaporator is compliant with conditions.
|
Noted. If
reporting obligations are retained, the proposed evaporator unit will be included
in noise and odour assessments.
|
|
|
On a date
in June 2017 an unacceptable odour persisted all morning, the wind being in
the north and blowing from the plant to our property.
|
Noted
|
|
|
Condition
42(b) odour assessment & 42 (c) noise assessment be continued on a
quarterly basis.
|
Noted. It
is recommended that reporting obligations remain on the conditions of
consent.
|
|
3
|
It does
appear that waste disposal conditions have been adhered to and the frequency
of odours events has diminished, however during the warmer months, when
temperature and wind direction allow, we have encounted some distinctive
odours coming from the site... and requires us to enter indoors and close up
the premise.
|
While
complaints in regard to noise and odour are claimed to have diminished,
impacts are clearly still felt by surrounding residents if environmental
conditions allow.
|
|
|
Condition
42(b) odour assessment & 42 (c) noise assessment be continued on a
quarterly basis.
|
Noted. It
is recommended that reporting obligations remain on the conditions of
consent.
|
Public
authority consultation
The modified
development application was not referred to any public authority for
consultation.
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
The proposal
has been assessed under Section 96 and Section 79C Environmental Planning
& Assessment Act 1979 including the relevant provisions of Cabonne
Local Environmental Plan 1991 and Development Control Plan No 5 –
General Rural Zones. The development satisfies the relevant
provisions of these instruments.
Any
issues with the proposed modified development have been identified during the
assessment of the application. It is considered that the application can
be approved as submitted subject to the consent being modified in the following
ways:
1. Amend Condition 1 Development in
accordance with Plans
2. Amend Condition 40(a) On-site
Effluent Management.
Attached is a
draft Notice of Approval outlining the existing and proposed amendments to the
conditions of development consent. The conditions are considered appropriate to
ensure that the development proceeds in an acceptable manner.

Acting Finance Manager's REPORT
Council’s investments as at
31 July 2017 stand at a total of $43,234,549.
Council’s average interest
rate for the month was 2.46%. 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 July. However, Council’s average
rate is higher than Council’s benchmark rate of the 30 Day Bank Bill Swap
Rate of 1.59%.
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

Acting Director of Finance & Corporate
Services' REPORT
At the Council meeting held on 25
August 2015 Council resolved to hold a referendum to seek approval to reduce
councillor numbers to 9 in conjunction with the 2016 election of new
councillors. This referendum will take place on the 9 September 2017 in
conjunction with the election of new councillors, due to the forced
amalgamation process delaying the elections that were scheduled to take place
in 2016.
The decision made at a
constitutional referendum binds the council until changed by a subsequent
constitutional referendum.
If the constitutional referendum
question is passed it will come into effect from the Local Government election
in September 2020, however, such a decision does not apply to a by-election
held after the constitutional referendum and before the next ordinary election.
The referendum question will be:
“Do you favour
reducing councillor number from twelve (12) to nine (9)?
Voting in a constitutional
referendum is compulsory and a voting paper will be issued along with the
election ballot paper to all registered residents in Cabonne at all Cabonne
polling centres.

Cabonne Daroo Business Awards
The Cabonne Daroo Business Awards
committee met on Tuesday 8 August 2017 to continue to make arrangements for the
2017 awards.
Almost 200 nominations were
received for businesses across 17 categories. Finalists have been decided and
online voting is now open to determine the winners of 14 of the 17 categories.
The Best Business in Cabonne, Employee of the Year and Apprentice/Trainee of
the Year will be determined by a judging panel. The number of nominations
was one of the highest in the 18-year history of the event. This year’s
Daroos include a new category to recognise businesses fostering disability
inclusion. This meets one of the criteria of the Disability Inclusion Action
Plan adopted earlier this year by Council.
The 2017 presentation will take
place at a dinner at the Yeoval Memorial Hall on Friday 3 November 2017. Edwina
Mitchell Catering Pty Ltd, which catered for the 2015 Daroo dinner at Cudal and
has undertaken the catering for the 100 Mile Dinner at Molong in recent years,
has been engaged for the 2017 awards.
The committee will meet again on
Tuesday 12 September 2017.

Item 8 Ordinary Meeting 22 August 2017
|
Item 8 - Annexure 1
|
VOTING IS COMPULSORY
Cabonne
Shire Council covers an area of approximately 6,108 square kilometres and is
home to approximately 13,386 residents.
In
2012 a referendum was passed to abolish wards for the Council. Residents
are now able to vote for candidates they believe would best represent them and
not just candidates standing in their wards. Each year the Councillors
elect the Mayor from within their number.
Council
has recently resolved that it will hold a Constitutional Referendum in
conjunction with the 2017 Council election to deal with the issues of reduction
in the number of Councillors from twelve to nine.
Council
believes that public input into these issues is vital.
REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF COUNCILLORS
On
9 September 2017 you will be asked:
Do you favour reducing
Councillor numbers from twelve
(12) to nine (9)? Yes/No
You must vote yes, if
you support, or no if you oppose
Under
Section 224 of the Local Government Act, a Council must have at least five and
not more than 15 Councillors. Currently Cabonne Council has twelve
Councillors (with the Mayor elected from within that number) The Councillors
represent the approximately 13,386 residents of the Shire.
The
cases For and Against reducing the number of Councillors are:
For
· Can result in more efficient decision making as the
more Councillors there are, the more difficult it can be to reach a decision
· Greater numbers on Council can mean that non-committed
or uninvolved elected representatives “fly under the radar”
· There would be a reduction in costs associated with
Councillor fees and allowances
· It may be easier for Council to work as a unified team
due to decreased team numbers
· Quality of representation is the important issue not
the number of Councillors
Against
· Reduction in effective representation as there would
be less Councillors representing the people of the Shire
· May result in smaller population centres being less
represented
· Decreases the number of Councillor representatives
that can represent the community on Council’s committees
· Less Councillors means less ideas and debate and
possible uninformed decisions
· The individual workload of Councillors would increase
as the total workload would be shared among a larger number of people
· The current number of Councillors has been working
effectively for many years
|
Item 8 Ordinary Meeting 22 August 2017
|
Item 8 - Annexure 2
|
Referendum
As well as electing a new Council to serve
for the next three years, the 2017 Local Government Election for Cabonne
Council will also include a constitutional referendum regarding the reduction
in number of Councillors from twelve (12) to nine (9).
What is a constitutional referendum?
The Local Government Act 1993 defines a
constitutional referendum as a poll initiated by a council in order to give
effect to a matter.
Why are Cabonne voters responding to a constitutional
referendum?
Council resolved at its meeting 25 August
2015 to hold a constitutional referendum.
What is the effect of a constitutional
referendum?
1. The decision made at a constitutional
referendum binds the council until changed by a subsequent constitutional
referendum.
2. However, such a decision does not apply
to a by-election held after the constitutional referendum and before the next
ordinary election.
How long will the 2017-elected Council
term be?
A three-year term only. This means
it will fall in line with other NSW councils (most went to election in 2016).
If the constitutional referendum
questions are passed, when will they come into effect?
It would take effect from the Local
Government election in September 2020.
If the question is passed, what would
change?
The Council would be reduced from 12
Councillors to 9.
The Councillors then choose a Mayor who
would make up one of the 9 Councillor positions.
Before 2012 Cabonne Council had
12 councillors and a six-ward structure (of 2 councillors each).
In 2012 the six-ward structure
was abolished, however 12 councillors remained and the Mayor was elected by
councillors.
How do I vote on
the referendum?
When you vote in the
ordinary election you will receive additional voting documents for the
referendum. Voting in a constitutional referendum is compulsory.
What is the
constitutional referendum question?
The following
question will be asked:
Do you favour reducing councillor numbers from twelve (12) to nine (9)?
You must vote YES, if you support, or NO if you oppose.
Under Section 224 of
the Local Government Act, a Councillor must have a least five and not more than
15 Councillors. Currently Cabonne Council has twelve Councillors (with
the Mayor elected from within that number). The Councillors represent
approximately 13,386* residents of the Shire.

PROJECT PREPLANNING ACTIVITIES ( land
acquisition, Feasibility Study, Survey, Utility Shifting )
The long outstanding Nashdale Bridge acquisition from JHR
is getting close to completion. Council has sent through final settlement
payment to our solicitors Trust account for settlement. No date for settlement
has been provided by JHR or Council’s solicitors. JHR have advised the
Gasworks site has been delayed due to wordings on the property plan and given
the land itself is still in Old Systems Title not Torrens Title.
Council has been contacting Messenger &
Messenger’s regarding the delays over the acquisition of land from Mr and
Mrs Hunter. It appears for some reason as though this is being treated as a
compulsory acquisition when it is a purchase via agreement under private
treaty.
OEH have indicated that they will accept the report from
ARUP in relation to Puzzle Flat Creek Levee Concept Design Report. This should
allow for the next milestone to be achieved in the workplan. We are currently
working with OEH and ARUP to finalise this milestone of the project.
Possible Pinecliffe level crossing relocation at
367.910km ( railway changes)
Meeting with John Holland about change the farm access to
rate payers land the areas of concern was safe access to private property from
a new point on Sandy Creek road . The location selected with considering Sandy
Creek Road drainage and Intersection visibility at connection point removing of
trees will be a railway responsibility.
ASSET MANAGEMENT:
Revaluation of Water and Sewer assets been started.
The definition of relevant asset class was reviewed and adopted as per the
Australian Infrastructure Finance Management Manual (AIFMM ) 2015
guidelines. The revaluation of these asset classes will also enable Council to
comply with the regulations set out by the Department of Local Government Code
of Accounting Practice and Financial Reporting.

The following notes apply
to site visits and requests for advice - The intention is that the notes are
passed to the Property Owner/Enquirer/DA Applicant:
1. Bruce
Memorial Presbyterian Church, 21 Bruce Street, Cumnock
Statement of
significance:
The Bruce family of
Loombah, Cumnock, donated the land and funded the building of this Presbyterian
Church in 1908 located in a street named after them. It is an Edwardian era
church building featuring face red brickwork with rendered bands, a galvanised
iron roof with exposed rafters and pierced terra cotta ridge capping and
leadlight windows in the diamond pattern.
History
The Bruce family
historical notes:
George Bruce arrived in
Sydney from Scotland in 1854 as a 23 year old sailor. He worked on the
Burrawang run at Cumnock and purchased Loombah Station in 1870 from T.B. Gaden.
He developed an expertise in sheep breeding which resulted in a reputation for
the merino stud and the fine quality wool. George married Jane Murray from
Orange. After George died aged 76 in 1908, the two sons, Sage and Robert
managed the property. Sage Bruce died in 1943 and the Loombah property was
distributed between his son George and three daughters.
A deputation of residents
sought to establish a Presbyterian Church in 1905. They petitioned the
Presbytery of Bathurst located in Wellington for a separate parish in
Molong.
The Bruce Memorial
Presbyterian Church was erected in 1908 after Sage or Robert (John?)
Bruce donated the land and a contribution of £500 towards the building
cost. The balance was won from local subscriptions and the foundation
stone laid on October 14, 1908 by the Presbyterian Moderator.
Architectural notes:
The Edwardian period is
also known in Australia as Federation. Buildings built at this time draw on
both Victorian and Queen Anne features. Many Mid-Victorian ornaments and
details remain in use, but the buildings are less ostentatious than in previous
decades. The romanesque details include windows adapted from the classical
style with the arches replacing the pointed gothic openings.
Usually a Presbyterian
church will not have statues of saints, nor the ornate altar more typical of a
Roman Catholic church. Instead, one will find a "communion table,"
usually on the same level as the congregation. There may be a rail between the
communion table and the "Chancel" behind it, which may contain a more
decorative altar-type table, choir loft, or choir stalls, lectern and clergy
area. The altar is called the communion table and the altar area is called the
Chancel by Presbyterians. In a Presbyterian (Reformed Church) there may be an
altar cross, either on the communion table or on a table in the chancel. By
using the "empty" cross, or cross of the resurrection, Presbyterians
emphasize the resurrection and that Christ is not continually dying, but died
once and is alive for all eternity. Some Presbyterian church buildings are
often decorated with a cross that has a circle around the center, or Celtic
cross. This not only emphasized the resurrection, but also acknowledges
historical aspects of Presbyterianism.
A baptismal font will be
located either at the entrance or near the chancel area. Presbyterian
architecture generally makes significant use of symbolism with decorative
stained glass windows depicting scenes from the bible.
The Edwardian era is
classified by the reign of King Edward VII (1900-1910). As an architectural
style, 'Edwardian' refers to the period 1901 to 1918.
As a period, it covers
the years between 1901 and 1910.
Origins of the
Presbyterian Church:
Presbyterianism is a part
of the Reformed tradition within Protestantism which traces its origins to the
British Isles, particularly Scotland.
Presbyterian churches
derive their name from the presbyterian form of church government, which is
governed by representative assemblies of elders. In Australia these are
churches that trace their roots to the Scottish and English Presbyterians, as
well as several English dissenter groups that formed during the English Civil
War. Presbyterian church government was ensured in Scotland by the Acts of Union
in
1707 which created the
Kingdom of Great Britain. In fact, most Presbyterians found in England can
trace a Scottish connection, and the Presbyterian denomination was also taken
to North America mostly by Scots and Scots-Irish immigrants. The Presbyterian
denominations in Scotland hold to the theology of John Calvin and his immediate
successors, although there are a range of theological views within contemporary
Presbyterianism. Local congregations of churches which use presbyterian polity
are governed by sessions made up of representatives of the congregation
(elders); a conciliar approach which is found at other levels of decisionmaking
(presbytery, synod and general assembly).
The Molong Express
Newspaper - Saturday September 7, 1912:
At the Bruce Memorial
Church, Cumnock, on Wednesday afternoon last a very pretty and fashionable
wedding was celebrated by the Rev. J.C. McDonald, M.A, Orange, the contracting
parties being Mr. Henry Arthur Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Taylor, of Cudal,
and member of the firm of Messrs. Bedford, Taylor and Weston, Orange,
Wellington and Sydney, and Miss Emily Rose Bruce, eldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Sage Bruce, of Loombah, Cumnock.

Crossroads: The History of Cumnock by Joan Marriott, 1993
Figure 1 General
view of the distinctive main window. The leadlight will require inspection and
repair given the age.
When building a mezzanine
floor which passes the main window seen above, the floor must step in 300mm
from the wall surface and leave at least 100mm each side of the reveal so that
full extent of the reveal can be seen.
Figure 2 Proposed
mezzanines
The rod bracing ties the
roof together and stops it spreading against the walls. One way to use the
space is to make steel frame opening each side of the rods to allow access
between a room within each bay. The Engineer will advise on this and other options.
The existing structure seen above is not an approved structure and detracts
from the significance of the Church interior. The floor cuts off the windows.
Figure 3 The
front entry porch
A key original feature
the walls would have been traditionally a darker colour such as Sage Green to
make the transition from outside to inside.
Figure 4 Note
the movement cracks in the main elevation
Seek input from the
structural engineer on the inspection.
Note that the three
dividing posts or mullions should be a Dark Red colour to make them less
striking and the full arch of the glazing become the dominant element. The
leadlight will require restoration.
Figure 5
The side rear entry/exit
Re-use of the existing
would save having to make another opening in the brickwork and lose valuable
wall space to be occupied by the proposed Kitchen. Avoid removing brickwork
where there is a reasonable alternative.
Figure 6 General
side elevation
Swelling and shrinkage
can be reduced as follows
Replace a nominal 150mm
of topsoil with compacted roadbase topped by 50mm of crusher dust or cement
stabilised deco granite to a nominal 1800mm around the perimeter. It is laid to
fall at 1.100 away from the building.
The cracks can then be
repointed using a lime based mortar.
Inspect the roof sheeting
close up to see the extent of the rust. It may be able to be treated to remove
the rust and then painted Dulux Windspray or finished in Fisholene & Turps
or Penetrol. If the roof needs replacing, Fielders supply heritage galvanised
sheeting and matching gutters and downpipes.
The elements painted
white should be a stone colour such as Dulux Cream, Portland stone or Bath
Stone while the arch heads to the windows should be Dulux Rusted Crimson.
When considering dormers
they need to be towards the rear and in a pair to appear balanced. The roof of
the dormer needs to match that on the Church.
Ancillary buildings and
sheds should be clad in Colorbond Windspray to remain secondary and not
intrusive against the original building.
A simple steel rod
palisade fence will complement the building while timber paling or picket fence
will not be the appropriate style for the period and large scale.
Additional structures,
such as the outdoor space and the car port need to be as far from the front as
possible so as not to distract from the street view.
This also produces
opportunities for planting and privacy for the outdoor areas.
When a scheme has been
drawn up at the sketch stage and structural advice has been obtained these
issues can be reviewed by the Council Planning and Heritage staff to clear the
way for the approval process.
Small grants are
available annually for external restoration and conservation tasks including
painting, leadlight, roofing and pointing.
Figure 7 The
windows are a primary feature.
When building a mezzanine
floor which passes the window, the floor must step in 300mm from the wall
surface and leave at least 100mm each side of the reveal so that full extent of
the reveal can be seen.
The leadlight windows and
the opening portions will require restoration.
Note ruled dado line
where the lower wall area would have been a darker colour and the wall above an
off white colour.
Review Peter Cuffleys
‘Cottage Gardens in Australia’ for plants which suit the Edwardian
period.
Grants
Restoration works to the
exterior would be suitable for local heritage grants following a suitable
application and approval by Council. Review the Council website and contact
Kate at Council for further details.

three horizontal steel flats and two rod sizes 16mm and 20mm Dimensions for use
without a base:
150mm clear to the ground
The size is 600mm to both
the lower and upper parts
A second typical fence
panel type with simple picket head which is also suitable.
Note in the centre a
brace which is fixed to a larger picket and runs back to the ground at the rear
at some 70 degrees. This provides stability for the whole fence without the
need for thick posts.
Next steps
Request a simple shop drawing from the steel fabricator and
review with Council.
