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 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.

ACTING General Manager's REPORT
The annual conference of Local Government NSW is being held from Monday 14 October to Wednesday 16 October 2019 at the William Inglis Hotel, Warwick Farm, Sydney.
Councils are invited to submit motions for consideration at the conference. Proposed motions should be strategic, affect members state-wide and introduce new or emerging policy issues and actions. Cabonne has in recent years submitted motions relating to rate exemptions of state-owned corporations, food security and sustainability including introduction of legislation to protect the ‘right to farm’ and regional road funding.
Council’s policy for the attendance of delegates and representatives at the LGNSW Conference is that the Mayor attends, if available, as Council’s official delegate, with the General Manager attending in an advisory capacity. Council has also previously provided for up to two other councillors being able to attend as observers and in 2018 resolved to send four observers, being Clrs Nash, Oldham, Treavors and Mullins, with the view that all councillors be given the opportunity to attend the conference in the council term.

Community Engagement and Development Manager's REPORT
Council has received four applications under the 2019/2020 Events Assistance Program (EAP).
Council’s Tourism and Community Development Coordinator has provided the following assessments.
Application 1
Organisation: Canowindra Fine Music Inc.
Event: Canowindra Baroquefest
Date: 18 to 20 October 2019 (A 3 Day event)
Requested Amount: $3,976
Reason for Funding: Contribution towards marketing and promoting the event.
Event Description:
Following on the success from the last four years the organisers plan for this festival to continue as an annual music and cultural festival in the Canowindra calendar. The festival is successful in attracting musicians from the region, state and international standard who have contributed in a positive way to the fine music education of school students.
Due to the previous year’s success the committee have been approached by a number of outstanding musicians and groups seeking opportunities to participate in the program. The 2018 event attracted over 2,000 attendees.
The Baroquesfest program consists of 6 concerts and dinners, with VIP events utilising a variety of venues in Canowindra.
The Canowindra Baroquefest is a celebration of fine music that will:
· Place Council’s logo on all promotional material.
· Increase visitors to the region and the historic town of Canowindra.
· Increase visitor spend in the region.
· Raise awareness and enhance the region’s profile and its many village attractions to visitors.
In 2018 Council allocated $3,000 under the Events Assistance Program to support Canowindra Baroquefest who then partnered with Big Little Histories.
For this 2019 year event the Baroquefest is standing alone.
Assessment
This application meets the Event Assistance Program funding objectives of a core event that is an annual event on the calendar. The Baroquefest aims to increase visitation to the area, support a number of Cabonne businesses while exposing and educating the community to fine music and live performances.
For a core event in this category funding of $2,000 is suggested.
Application 2
Organisation: Canobolas Endurance Riders Club Inc.
Event: Matar Stables Bullio Cup
Date: 2 & 3 November 2019
Requested Amount: $5,000
Reason for Funding: Contribution towards marketing and promoting the event.
Event Description:
The Matar Stables Bullio Cup ran for the first time last year and encompasses a number of endurance horse riding distances with the rides based in Cabonne Shire within Four Mile Creek. The course traverses through the Canobolas State Forest, Cadia mine lease country and some private farming land.
Visitors and competitors will be coming from NSW and interstate with an emphasis on fostering a family sporting and community activity in Orange and Cabonne. The event participants and organisers will be engaging with local service providers and businesses. The expected number of entries is 150-200 with approximately 300 visiting spectators.
Many visitors will be staying at local accommodation outlets and it is expected to benefit Cabonne and Orange region socially and economically.
The visitors will be exposed to Cabonne’s unique natural assets and rural community offerings which in turn will help to increase return visitation.
The Canobolas Endurance Riders Club are keen to develop the horse culture of local youth through encouraging the local pony clubs to attend. Last year Panuara, Cudal and Orange Pony Clubs attended the event.
The organisers see one of the major benefits is to get farming families off farm and enjoying a family outdoor event, a place to bond and work together.
Assessment
It is suggested that $1,000 is an appropriate contribution due to the increase in participation and social rural benefits.
Application 3
Organisation: The Canowindra Phoenix
Event: Canowindra Christmas in July
Date: 1 - 31 July 2019
Requested Amount: $500
Reason for Funding: Contribution towards marketing and the purchase of award prizes
Event Description:
Canowindra Christmas in July is all about dressing up the main street with Christmas decoration window displays with the aim to attract visitation. All shop owners and businesses are encouraged to participate and dress up their windows in a festive theme. This year again will include a Children’s Colouring-In competition.
The Christmas in July event is reported to attract many visitors to Canowindra by day and night to view the window displays and support local businesses who experience increased trade. This event will help to increase Canowindra’s town image as a ‘top tourist’ destination during the colder winter months.
Assessment
Canowindra’s Christmas in July meets the Events Assistance funding program objectives of a developing event that attracts visitation with an expected 1,500 visitors to the town over the month of July.
Council provided $500 in EAP funding to the event in 2018. The level of funding for a developing event with this category a maximum of up to $500. It is recommended that $500 is an appropriate contribution.
Application 4
Organisation: Mulga Bill Festival Inc.
Event: Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour Visit to Yeoval 2019
Date: 14 October 2019
Requested Amount: $3,000
Reason for Funding: Contribution towards marketing and promotion products for the event
Event Description:
The Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour will arrive in Yeoval on Monday 14 October 2019. It will visit Yeoval Central School assembly, St Columba’s UPA Aged Care and various other locations in Yeoval before a gala community luncheon at the More Than a Poet Banjo Paterson museum.
The organisers plan a day full of activities and promotional opportunities, including Fashions on the Field Competitions for men and women, racing identities and dignitaries in attendance, variety of games for all ages and high tea and lunch available during the day.
There will be five TV screens displaying numerous past Melbourne Cup races and local races to create the atmosphere and excitement.
Community groups such as the men’s shed and Red Cross will be involved along with surrounding racing clubs who have offered to support the event.
The invitation list will extend far beyond Cabonne Shire and local residents have been invited to participate and provide ideas for activities on the day.
This event promises to be a unique occasion for Yeoval, which has the potential attract a number of visitors from outside the Shire as well it has the ability to unite the local community, lift spirits, help raise the profile of Yeoval and enhance the economy in the area.
Assessment
The Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour to Yeoval is a one-off event with the organisers expecting to attract around 1,500 visitors to Yeoval.
Only 24 regional locations in Australia were successful in being selected as venues for the 2019 Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour from hundreds of applications. Yeoval will be one of only five regional towns in NSW to host the tour, which will also visit the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Singapore, China and Japan.
As this is special significant promotional event which falls outside the guidelines of a developing event, it is recommended that $2,000 is an appropriate contribution to ensure the success of this unique promotional opportunity.

THAT Council approve $41,000 from Council Capital Reserve for the rectification of defects in overhead electrical installation at Eugowra Showground. |
Technical Services Manager's REPORT
Recent inspections undertaken by Essential Energy on Council owned electrical transmission infrastructure at Eugowra Showground has identified several defects that require immediate rectification.
Resulting from that inspection, Council received a notice for the rectification work to be undertaken in order to mitigate the potential failure of the infrastructure that could result in a risk to the users of the showground facilities.
The rectification works for immediate attention are:
· Replace 4 wire termination on pole Asset No. 4717 041 - Cross arm is very badly weathered around brace bolt and requires replacement.
· Replace LV 4 wire pin on pole Asset No. 4715 041 near dog trial yards in showground – Cross arm weathered and requires replacement. Additionally, the pole requires replacement.
As suggested by Essential Energy, there are three options to be taken into account immediately to ensure that the electrical installation at the showground is safe. These options are listed below:
· Engage a suitably qualified electrical contractor or Accredited Service Provider to rectify the defect/s.
· Arrange for temporary disconnection that safely isolates the defected electrical component. Disconnection and reconnection fees may apply. (NOTE: Disconnection may not be applicable where the premises occupier is a registered life support customer).
· Arrange for permanent disconnection and removal of the assets if they are no longer required.
Out of these three options, temporary and permanent disconnection are not recommended, as various events are being organised at the showground in the near future, and the assets in the showground are also required for future use.
The recommended option is to engage a suitably qualified electrical contractor or Accredited Service Provider to rectify the said defects as soon as possible so that the electrical installation at the showground is safe and can deliver a satisfactory level of service.
Council has requested a quote from a suitably qualified contractor. The preliminary cost for the work has been estimated as $41,000.
In the interim, the electricity supply to the showground was disconnected on 8 July 2019 in the interests of public safety as advised by Essential Energy. A generator has been temporarily installed to be used as required.

THAT: 1. Council proceed with public consultation proposing to name the unnamed lane as described in the report as “Bordens Road”; and 2. Assuming no objections are received, Council proceeds with the naming of the road as “Bordens Road” in accordance with Section 162 of the Roads Act, 1993. |
Director of Engineering & Technical Services' REPORT
Council has been made aware of an unnamed Council maintained road in Bowan Park. The lane runs in a south-easterly direction off Paling Yards Loop through Lots 218, 216 and 244 DP 750139 for 680m, then south adjacent the eastern boundary of Lot 244 DP 750139 for 785m, then east along the northern boundary of Lot 2 DP 1227775 for 160m. The road proposed to be named is shown on the map below. Having gazetted road names is critical in assisting emergency services attending to emergencies.
Council has previously carried a motion in favour of naming this road “Barton Lane”. While the nearest road with a similar name is 37km away by road (Barton Drive, Orange), the Geographical Names Board have objected to this name on the grounds that Barton Drive is within 24km radius of the unnamed road.
Historical research of the earliest Parish Maps available in the vicinity of the unnamed road has revealed that James Boaden Jr. had a land holding adjacent to this road which also extended into the property currently known as “Bordens”. It is believed the property name is a phonetically spelt simplification of the original landholder’s name.
It is therefore suggested that this road be named “Bordens Road”. The name is considered suitable due to its historical link, and that the road leads to “Bordens” which contains the only occupied residence accessed by this road. It is noted that the name is considered suitable under the Geographical Names Board Guidelines.

Director of Engineering & Technical Services' REPORT
Council granted development consent on 3 November 2008 to an 8 lot subdivision (DA 2008/177/1) of land fronting Curtin Road and Bruce Road near Orange. One of the conditions of development consent was that a sealed road be constructed west of Bruce Road as part of the subdivision to provide access to proposed new lots (Condition 14a), and also that the developer suggest a name for this road together with reasons for the choice (Condition 15a).
Council has received an application to name the newly developed road through Lot 5 DP 702416 and Lot 12 DP 718922. The road runs in a westerly direction off the 90 degree bend in Bruce Road, then extends along the southern boundary of Lot 2 DP 226195, then west through Lot 12 DP 718922 to the southern boundary of Lot 21 DP 756869, and part way along the southern boundary of Lot 20 DP 756869.
The name ‘Adair Drive’ has been suggested by the developer as it represents the name of the subdivided property under both original and current owners, which is understood to have been established in the 1930s.
It is therefore suggested that this road be named “Adair Drive”. The name is considered suitable due to its historic link, and fits within the guidelines set out by the Geographical Names Board, NSW.

These matters are addressed in the report following.
Cabonne Local Environmental Plan 2012
The subject land is zoned R5 Large Lot Residential by the Cabonne Local Environmental Plan 2012. Subdivision of land is permissible within this zone, subject to Council’s development consent.
Objectives of the R5 Large Lot Residential zone
The proposal is not contrary to the aims of the LEP or the objectives of the R5 zone. The development relates to and is consistent with the zone objectives which seek to
· To provide residential housing in a rural setting while preserving, and minimising impacts on, environmentally sensitive locations and scenic quality.
· To ensure that large residential lots do not hinder the proper and orderly development of urban areas in the future.
· To ensure that development in the area does not unreasonably increase the demand for public services or public facilities.
· To minimise conflict between land uses within this zone and land uses within adjoining zones.
Comment: The development will facilitate the future provision of residential housing in a rural setting, without compromising the rural character of the area or the rural qualities, therefore the development is deemed to comply with objective 1. The development will have no impact on the proper and orderly development of urban areas in the future given it is located well away from the Canowindra town-ship, therefore satisfying objective 2. All required utilities are or will be made available to the subject site. The addition of a single lot to Moorbel is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the services provided in the vicinity of the subject lot, therefore satisfying objective 3. The development is unlikely to result in land use conflicts arising given there are already a number of dwellings in the vicinity of the lot, therefore satisfying objective 4.
Part 2 – Permitted or prohibited development
Clause 2.6 Subdivision – Consent Requirements
The proposed subdivision cannot be undertaken as exempt or complying development, therefore a development application is required.
Part 4 – Principal development Standards
Clause 4.1 Minimum subdivision lot size
The minimum lot size for the subject site is 2Ha, therefore the proposed development as both lots comply with the minimum lot size.
Part 5 – Miscellaneous provisions
5.16 Subdivision of, or dwellings on, land in certain rural, residential or environment protection zones
(1) The objective of this clause is to minimise potential land use conflict between existing and proposed development on land in the rural, residential or environment protection zones concerned (particularly between residential land uses and other rural land uses).
(2) This clause applies to land in the following zones:
(h) Zone R5 Large Lot Residential,
(3) A consent authority must take into account the matters specified in subclause (4) in determining whether to grant development consent to development on land to which this clause applies for either of the following purposes:
(a) subdivision of land proposed to be used for the purposes of a dwelling,
(b) erection of a dwelling.
(4) The following matters are to be taken into account:
(a) the existing uses and approved uses of land in the vicinity of the development,
(b) whether or not the development is likely to have a significant impact on land uses that, in the opinion of the consent authority, are likely to be preferred and the predominant land uses in the vicinity of the development,
(c) whether or not the development is likely to be incompatible with a use referred to in paragraph (a) or (b),
(d) any measures proposed by the applicant to avoid or minimise any incompatibility referred to in paragraph (c).
Comment: The proposed subdivision will not compromise the undertakings on adjoining allotments and is compatible with the rural-residential character of the area. Council is an advocate for the Right to Farm and will ensure the applicant is aware of Councils position in regard to the protection of rural land owners right to farm their properties. The subject lot is zoned large lot residential and the proposed development will see the subject lot being subdivided to facilitate the use of the lot for large lot residential development. Given the land uses are deemed compatible, no mitigation methods are deemed necessary in this instance.
Part 6 – Additional local provisions
Clause 6.2 Stormwater management
The proposed development itself will not have an adverse impact on stormwater given minimal works will be required (rural fencing and new accesses). The management of stormwater will need to be considered at the time of future development on the lots to ensure water from impermeable surfaces is managed suitably.
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
Comment::The proposed lots will be connected to the reticulated water. Prior to the release of the Subdivision Certificate, the applicant will be required to provide a Notice of Arrangement (NOA) from the Electricity Authority to demonstrate electricity can be connected to the proposed lots. An effluent Management Report has been supplied by the applicant that identifies that each lot can accommodate an On Site Sewer Management System (OSSMS). The management of stormwater will be assessed at a time of future development on the lots. Each lot will require an access that is constructed to Council standards.
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.
PROVISIONS OF ANY DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING INSTRUMENT THAT HAS BEEN PLACED ON EXHIBITION s4.15(1)(a)(ii)
There are no draft environmental plans that relate to the subject land or proposed development.
PROVISIONS OF ANY DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN s4.15(1)(a)(iii)
Development Control Plan 6 – Rural Small Holdings applies to this land.
The proposed development is consistent with the requirements for subdivision as set out within DCP 6 below:
3.0 Guidelines for subdivision
3.1 Minimum Lot Size
The proposed development satisfies the minimum lot size as set out under Clause 4.1 of Cabonne Local Environmental Plan 2012.
3.2 Services
3.2.1 Power
The subject site is in the vicinity of power infrastructure. Prior to the release of the subdivision certificate, the applicant will be required to submit a Notice of Arrangement that demonstrates that power is available to the subject site.
3.2.2 Water Supply
The water infrastructure is available in the vicinity of the subject site. Conditions of consent will require the applicant to connect each proposed lot to the water infrastructure.
3.2.3 Sewerage Disposal
No reticulated sewer is available to the subject site, therefore effluent would be required to be disposed of via on site means. The applicant has provided Effluent Management Studies that demonstrates sewer can be managed on site.
3.2.4 Road Standards and Roading Contributions
The road network in the vicinity of the subject site is unsealed with the closest sealed road being approx. 300m away. Conditions of consent will be imposed requiring the payment of 7.11 Contributions in accordance with Council’s Road Contributions Plan for small holdings.
3.2.5 Telephone
Communications infrastructure is within the vicinity of the subject site and available for connection to each new lot should it be required.
3.3 Fencing
The applicant has not proposed any fencing for the proposed lots. A condition of consent will be imposed requiring the lots to be fenced to a dog proof standard in accordance with LEP requirements.
3.4 Notification
The application was notified and three (3) submission was received. The submission is addressed under section 4.15(1)(d) of the Act below.
3.5 Small Holdings North of and within the Vicinity of the City of Orange
Not applicable.
3.6 Bushfire Protection
Bushfire contributions will be payable prior to the release of the subdivision certificate.
Section 94 Bushfire Contributions do apply to this subdivision and will be paid to the Moorbel Brigade (Income No. 10011). The subdivision is in a low fire hazard area with a current contribution rate of $417.60 for each new allotment (being $417.60). No contributions are payable for existing lots.
3.7 Consideration of other Natural Hazards
There are no other known hazards that may impact the subject site.
PROVISIONS PRESCRIBED BY THE REGULATIONS s4.15(1)(a)(iv)
The proposal does not contravene the relevant provisions of the regulations.
THE LIKELY IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT s4.15(1)(b)
Context and Setting
The development will be complementary to the rural character of the area. The subdivision down to 2Ha is not dis-similar to other subdivisions in the vicinity of the subject site. Further to this, the development complies with the minimum lot size for the area which has been developed through the strategic planning process. To minimize the potential impacts on adjoining lots when the lots are further developed and to ensure that Council’s setback requirements are complied with, building envelopes will be required to be provided on the plan of subdivision for the lot.
Streetscape
The subdivision itself will have no impact in regard to subdivision. By requiring building envelopes to be provided, future development on the lots will not have an adverse impact and will maintain the rural character of the area.
Access and Traffic
The development will result in minor increases in traffic for the area. The local road network (which is sealed approx. 300m from the subject site) can easily accommodate the additional traffic given it currently services a small number of lots. To ensure the development does not have an adverse impact on the road quality, conditions of consent will be imposed requiring the payment of road contributions towards the improvement in the road quality.
The accesses to each lot will be required to be constructed to Council standards including a setback of 10m to the carriageway.
Flora and Fauna
The development does not seek to remove any vegetation from the subject lot (given it is predominantly cleared at present). Therefore council staff are satisfied that there will not be any adverse impacts to any flora or fauna. Further to this, no endangered or critically endangered species have been recorded in the vicinity of the site.
Utilities
All required utilities are available (or will be made available) to the site. No adverse impacts in regard to the provision of utilities are identified.
Stormwater
The subdivision itself will have little to no impact on stormwater or overland flow given minimal works are required (accesses and rural fencing). The impacts of stormwater will be required to be addressed at the time of future development on the lots.
THE SUITABILITY OF THE SITE s4.15(1)(c)
The subject site, Lot 191 DP 1057795, is residential zoned land (Large lot Residential) being developed to facilitate future residential development in accordance with Council’s controls and requirements.
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 Plans apply to this development.
· Bushfire
The subject site is identified as being within a low category for bushfire. Therefore, a contribution of $417.60 will be payable prior to the release of the subdivision certificate (Income Account: Moorbel Brigade).
· Road Contributions
The subject site fronts an unsealed road, therefore developer contributions will be payable. The subject lot is 300m to sealed road (being Square Road).
= 0.3km x $11,645.10 (Rate per kilometer for 2019/20 Financial Year)
= $3,493.53
A condition of consent will be imposed requiring the payment of $3,493.53 (Income Account: Randall Street) Prior the release of the subdivision certificate.
ANY SUBMISSIONS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT s4.15(1)(d)
The proposed development is not advertised development.
The proposed development was neighbourhood notified. Three (3) submissions were received by the close of the exhibition phase. Issues raised in the submission(s) are addressed as follows:
· Adverse impact on rural character
The proposed subdivision will have an adverse impact on the rural character of the area.
Council Response: As addressed in this assessment report, the subject site is zoned for large lot residential purposes. The introduction of one additional lot is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the rural character of the area.
· Privacy
The development would lead to adverse impacts in regard to privacy when a dwelling is constructed on the lots.
Council Response: Potential impacts in regard to privacy would be assessed at such a time of further development on each lot, however to ensure that the future development is located away from adjoining dwellings and to maintain the rural character of the area, a condition of consent will be imposed to require the building envelope on lot 2 to be located away from the adjoining dwelling.
· Traffic
The development will increase traffic for the area.
Council Response: The addition of one additional lot to the area is unlikely to have an adverse impact on traffic for the area. To ensure the development does not have an adverse impact on the road network, a road contribution will be payable towards the improvement of the roads.
· Noise pollution
The development will lead to noise pollution.
Council Response: The subdivision itself will have minimal impacts in regard to noise pollution. Further to this, the introduction of two dwellings into the locality will have minimal impacts on the overall noise levels for the area.
· Existing dam on the lot
There is a former dam located on the lot that has been filled in with rubble and would be an unsuitable building surface.
Council Response: As with any development for a dwelling, soil tests would be required to demonstrate the suitability of the surface to construct. Given the dam would only comprise a small part of the lot, there would be other suitable locations within the lots.
· Impact on views
The construction of dwellings on the lots would lead to adverse impacts on the rural outlook from other dwellings in the area.
Council Response: The impact on views is not a matter for assessment under Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. However it is noted that the addition of an additional lot, and potentially one more dwelling then is already permissible is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the rural outlook.
· Stormwater
There is already adverse water run off following the in-fill of a dam on an adjoining lot. This may lead to instability in the ground.
Council Response: As per above, soil tests will be required prior to the construction of dwellings on the lot to determine the suitable location and/or construction method. Stormwater will need to be addressed at the time of assessment of dwellings on the lots to ensure that water does not leave the site at more than the standard rural run-off rate.
· Negative impact on future sale of property.
The subdivision of this lot and construction of houses would have an adverse impact on the future sale of adjoining properties.
Council Response: The value and or future sale of property is not a matter for assessment under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
· Covenant preventing subdivision on adjoining lot.
Adjoining properties were purchased with covenants on the lots that prevented subdivision.
Council Response: This subject lot does not have any covenants on the lots that may prevent subdivision.
PUBLIC INTEREST s4.15(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.
OTHER LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
Section 1.7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979
Section 1.7 of the Act identifies that Part 7 of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 have effect in connection with terrestrial and aquatic environment.
Having regard to the relevant provision and based on an inspection of the subject property it is considered that the proposed development is not likely to have a significant effect on any threatened species, population or ecological communities or their habitats.
National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974
A AHIMS search was undertaken as part of the assessment of the application and did not identify any aboriginal sites or places in the vicinity of the subject lot.
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 4.15 assessment of the development indicates that the development is acceptable in this instance. Attached is a draft Notice of Approval outlining a range of conditions considered appropriate to ensure that the development proceeds in an acceptable manner.
OPTIONS
Council has the following options in determining this Development Application:
1. Approve the development application subject to the attached draft conditions of consent
2. Refuse the development application.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt Option 1. above and approve Development Application 2019/0174 for a Two (2) lot subdivision at Lot 191 DP 1057795, Randall Street Moorbel subject to the conditions attached.

Senior Accounting Officer's REPORT
Council’s investments as at 30 June 2019 stand at a total of $45,663,294.27.
Council’s average interest rate for the month of June was 2.34%. 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 was dropped to 1.25% during the month of June. However, Council’s average rate is higher than Council’s benchmark rate of the 30 Day Bank Bill Swap Rate of 1.22%.
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.

Community Engagement and Development Manager's REPORT
Community Assistance Program Grants
Community groups in Cabonne are being urged to apply for Council grants to improve the “liveability” of their areas.
Applications are open for the Council's 2019-20 Community Assistance Program grants, which are designed to provide an ongoing or sustainable benefit to Cabonne communities.
In order to be eligible for the Community Assistance Program, applicants must be a not-for-profit organisation in the Cabonne Local Government Area and be undertaking a project on non-commercial facilities within the Shire.
Each project will be assessed on its merits and the relative benefit it will return to the community. Grants are provided on a 50:50 basis, but communities can provide their half of the funding through voluntary labour or in-kind contributions.
Applications for CAP funding close at 5pm on Friday 30 August 2019.
During 2018-19, Council allocated $65,500 to 13 community projects in two rounds of CAP funding.
Inbound Tourism Strategy Workshop
Cabonne Council is encouraging its tourism operators to attend an Inbound Strategy Workshop being conducted in Orange on July 31.
The workshop, to be held at the Hotel Canobolas, is designed for most tourism businesses, particularly tour operators, accommodation providers and attractions. The aim is to prepare and help develop businesses to sell export ready tourism products.
There will be a number of practical presentations that provide tools of the trade, additional processes to help operators refine their product and understand the Destination NSW, Network and the inbound distribution system.
Promotional material for this strategic workshop was emailed to Cabonne’s tourism operators’ network as part of Council’s regular communication flow of information to stakeholders.
