NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITY

FOR THE PERIOD 1 July 2009 TO 30 June 2010

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this statement of

financial activity are:

(a) Basis of Accounting

This statement is a special purpose financial report, prepared in accordance with applicable Australian

Australian Accounting Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements and the LocalGovernment Act 1995 (as amended) and accompanying regulations (as amended).

(b) The Local Government Reporting Entity

All Funds through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have been

included in this statement.

In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all transactions and balancesbetween those funds (for example, loans and transfers between Funds) have been eliminated.

All monies held in the Trust Fund are excluded from the statement, but a separate statement

of those monies appears at Note 9.

(c) Rounding Off Figures

All figures shown in this statement, other than a rate in the dollar, are rounded to the nearest dollar.

(d) Rates, Grants, Donations and Other Contributions

Rates, grants, donations and other contributions are recognised as revenues when the localgovernment obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions. Control over assets

acquired from rates is obtained at the commencement of the rating period or, where earlier, uponreceipt of the rates.

(e) Goods and Services Tax

In accordance with recommended practice, revenues, expenses and assets capitalised are stated netof any GST recoverable. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of applicable GST.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits that arereadily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of

changes in value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash andcash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are

included as short-term borrowings in current liabilities.

(g) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 - 90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for uncollectible amounts.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible

are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that they will not be collectible.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(h) Inventories

(i) Fixed Assets

All assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given as

consideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition. For assets acquired at no cost or for nominalconsideration, cost is determined as fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of non-current assets

constructed by the Municipality includes the cost of all materials used in the construction, direct labouron the project and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead.

Certain asset classes may be revalued on a regular basis such that the carying values are not materially

different from fair value. Assets carried at fair value are to be revalued with sufficient regularity to ensurethe carrying amount does not differ materially from that determined using fair value at reporting date.

(j) Depreciation of Non-Current Assets

All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their usefullives in a manner which reflects the consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in

those assets.

Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis, using rates which are reviewed each reportingperiod. Major depreciation periods are:

Buildings 30 to 50 years

Furniture and Equipment 4 to 10 yearsPlant and Equipment 5 to 15 years

Sealed roads and streets clearing and earthworks not depreciated

construction/road base 50 years original surfacing and

major re-surfacing - bituminous seals 20 years

- asphalt surfaces 25 years

General

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable

value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories held from trading are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12

months.

Land Held for Resale

Land purchased for development and/or resale is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development and interest incurred on the financing of that land during its

development. Interest and holding charges incurred after development is complete are recognised as expenses.

Revenue arising from the sale of property is recognised in the operating statement as at the time of signing a

binding contract of sale.

Land held for resale is classified as current except where it is held as non-current based on Council’s intentions to release for sale.

Footpaths - slab 40 yearsSewerage piping 100 years

Water supply piping & drainage systems 75 years

(k) Impairment

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards the Council's assets, other than inventories, are

assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication they may be impaired.

Where such an indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is madein accordance with AASB 136 "Impairment of Assets" and appropriate adjustments made.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating

unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement.

For non-cash generating assets such as roads, drains, public buildings and the like, value in use isrepresented by the depreciated replacement cost of the asset.

At the time of preparing this report, it is not possible to estimate the amount of impairment losses(if any) as at 30 June 2010.

In any event, an impairment loss is a non-cash transaction and consequently, has no impact on

the Monthly Statement of Financial Position from a budgetary perspective.

(l) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and services

provided to the Municipality prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when theMunicipality becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and

services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(m) Employee Benefits

The provisions for employee benefits relates to amounts expected to be paid for long service

leave, annual leave, wages and salaries and are calculated as follows:

(i) Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Short-term Benefits)The provision for employees’ benefits to wages, salaries, annual leave and long service leave

expected to be settled within 12 months represents the amount the municipality has a presentobligation to pay resulting from employees services provided to balance date. The provision has

been calculated at nominal amounts based on remuneration rates the Council expects to payand includes related on-costs.

(ii) Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Long-term Benefits)

(n) Interest-bearing Loans and Borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less

directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortisedcost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that are

yield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Council has an unconditional right to defersettlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except where they are directly attributableto the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Where this is the case, they are

capitalised as part of the cost of the particular asset.

(o) Provisions

(p) Current and Non-Current Classification

In the determination of whether an asset or liability is current or non-current, consideration is given to the time when each asset or liability is expected to be settled. The asset or liability is classified as current if it is

expected to be settled within the next 12 months, being the Council’s operational cycle. In the case of liabilities where Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months, such as

vested long service leave, the liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settled within the next 12 months. Inventories held for trading are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the

next 12 months except for land held for resale where it is held as non-current based on Council’s intentions to release for sale.

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the

present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and

salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and

currency that match as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Where Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months, the liability is recognised as a current liability.

Provisions are recognised when: The council has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the

amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood

of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

9.2.1.1 Youth Centre/Under Cover Sporting Facility

File: CP-OTHR Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 10 June 2010

Application To consider the projects of a Youth Centre and Undercover Sports Facility. Background Currently funding is available through Royalties for Regions for various projects. We have also been advised of further funding for projects in the Murchison / Midwest Region. In order to be able to tap into this funding, projects need to be established to a stage where they can be started quickly after the funding is confirmed. Comment Currently there are two ideas being floated for the Youth Centre and Undercover Sports Area. These are to have the facilities together on a section of the old tennis courts so that it can be jointly used and is close to all the facilities, or have two separate structures, a Youth Centre and an Undercover Sports Area. Joint Facility The joint facility has the advantage of locating the facilities close to the sports ground. The idea was to construct a cover for the tennis courts and place demountables under the cover area which could also house the Youth Centre. As the current staffing system has a Sports and Recreation / Youth Officer, this would allow the employee to operate out of the same area with ease. All youth and sporting equipment would be in the same locale thus allowing the one officer to supervise both the Youth Centre and Sport Area without the requirement for additional support staff. There are several other advantages to the joint facilities. The current fencing would be maintained to provide an area to contain the facilities and be a deterrent for damage that may occur. Having the Youth Centre closer to the sporting facilities can be an advantage for games to be played. The Youth Centre would also act as a windbreak for the under cover area. The concern with the joint facility is that is does limit the space for both facilities in that the under cover area will only be about 1 tennis court size while the other half would be occupied as a Youth Centre. Separate Facilities While separate facilities may cost more capital to set up, it does not have the limitations of space. The entire area of the undercover sports courts can be utilised for multiple sports at the same time rather than being limited to a single event.

By having the Youth Centre as a separate building it would be able to be larger and house all the equipment without being crowded. Currently there is a pool table and other facilities. If the space is limited, the different activities have to be packed up or shifted into storage areas.

Shire of Mount Magnet Minutes Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 June 2010 41

The larger Youth Centre may also be able to hold other activities as well. A suggestion as an example is that the Seniors Group could have access as well and be able to store all the equipment for their activities. The two ideas are currently only concepts that have not been considered in full. It may be advantageous to seek public opinion through a town meeting to discuss the idea with the population to establish a preference. This will enable Council to formulate a direction and prepare the projects for when funding is available. There is concern that while the under cover area will be functional in summer it may not be used in winter if it is too cold. The sides of the structure could have curtains or a similar barrier to prevent the weather and wind to create an ‘indoor’ situation. Consultation Comments from various Councillors. Statutory Environment Nil Policy Implications Nil Financial Implications While funding may be available for the initial setup of the facilities, a plan will be required to establish the ongoing maintenance and operation costs of the facilities to ensure that these ongoing costs can be met by the Shire without creating a huge increase in rates revenue. Strategic Implications The additional facilities will increase the facilities Council has to offer the town. Several times we have been in the position where we have been trying to juggle events and groups to ensure that they can be accommodated in the current facilities. The additional facilities will allow for this and may also allow for additional activities, events and groups in town. Voting Requirements Simple Majority

9.2.1.2 Sale of Chairs – Presbyterian Church

File: FI-DON Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 11 June 2010

Application To consider a request from the Presbyterian Church for the sale of plastic outdoor chairs. Background The Presbyterian Church have been hiring chairs on a regular basis and paying a hire fee. They have requested that they purchase 40 of the chairs for the Church rather than having an ongoing cost of hiring them. Comment There were some chairs in the excess items recently put to tender, but the Church was concerned that they may not bid enough to win the chairs and therefore have sent a letter in for the request. The Presbyterian Church have requested to purchase 30 of the old chairs from the Anzac hall for the amount of $100.00 The Presbyterian Church has hired chairs on several occasions from the Shire. The rental for these chairs has been for the amount of $320.00. As the chairs have been hired several times by the church and each time the church has willingly paid the hire fee, Council may consider donating the chairs to the church as it is a community organisation. Consultation Nil Statutory Environment Nil Policy Implications Donations Financial Implications The purchase of the chairs was requested for $100.00. If Council donates the chairs then this income will be reduced. Strategic Implications Nil Voting Requirements Simple Majority

The CEO left the meeting at 4.20pm and returned at 4.21pm.

9.2.1.3 Formation of Country Shire Councils Association File: CR-COUN Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 9 March 2010

Application To consider representation on a Western Australian Country Shire Councils Association. Background Council has received a letter from Mr Mike Fitz Gerald requesting a show of interest in forming a representation group for Country Shire Councils. This letter was sent to all Country Councils as Mr Fitz Gerald has had numerous requests from Councils recently concerned with the representation received from the WA Local Government Association (WALGA). Comment There have been concerns over the last few years that WALGA is not representing the country area of Local Government as well as possible. Concerns also include that when the Country Councils request action from WALGA, by the time it gets to the WALGA meeting and an action is adopted, it is watered down and the intent changed from the original intent. That is if it gets through at all. Therefore, several Councils have looked at the possibility of starting a Country Shire Councils Association to better represent the country areas of Local Government. Several years ago, there used to be representation of the country shires through the Country Shire Council Association, however this was disbanded and all Councils became members of the WALGA. Current Services provided by WALGA along with the annual membership are: Member Subscription General Membership $5,105.00 Tax Member Subscription Taxation information and guide $ 990.00 Roman Subscription Road Management System $ 792.00 Procurement Subscription Purchasing network $1,500.00 Bulk purchase benefits (i.e. telephone costs) Guides Subscription Local Government Guides $ 921.80 Laws Subscription Local Laws models, assistance $ 499.40 Cost $9,808.20 It is unlikely that the new formed Country Shire Councils would be able to provide similar support therefore it may be advantageous to remain with WALGA for assistance, but also become members of the new Associated Group for representation. The first meeting for the Country Shire Councils Representation will be held during the Local Government Week Convention. Council has been requested to nominate representatives to attend the meeting.

Statutory Environment Nil Policy Implications Nil Financial Implications Representation by the new body will have a financial cost with it. This is unknown at the moment. Strategic Implications With WALGA trying to represent the Metropolitan and Rural Councils it is difficult to achieve a balance. Quite often the Country Councils have been at a disadvantage by the representation from WALGA. The new body may be able to better represent the Country Councils and the issues of those Councils. Voting Requirements Simple Majority

OFFICER/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION/ COUNCIL RESOLUTION

Moved: Cr Jensen Seconded: Cr Jones That the Shire President, Cr Will Scott and Chief Executive Officer represent the Shire of Mount Magnet at the meeting to be held during Local Government Week to discuss the formation of a Country Shire Council Representation body.

9.2.1.4 Sale of Old Items File: FI-TEND Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 10 March 2010

Application To consider the tenders received for the old items of stock. Background Several items that are no longer used by Council were advertised for sale in order to get them out of the depot and other facilities. Tenders have been received for these items and now need to be considered by Council. Comment The attached spreadsheet shows all the tendered amounts received. Two items have received more than one tender. I have looked at allowing the person who has not received other items the benefit of receiving these items, however this can be changed by Council. Consultation Nil Statutory Environment Nil Policy Implications Nil Financial Implications The sale of the items will have a minimal effect on the income for the Shire. Strategic Implications Nil Voting Requirements Absolute Majority

File: TP-TPMM Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 10 March 2010

Application To consider a review of the Mount Magnet Town Planning Scheme. Background The Town Planning Scheme for Mount Magnet is now several years old and amendments were required to allow for some recent developments. One of these amendments was for the changing of the zoning of the property for the GRAMS Centre. When the Environmental Health Officer and the Chief Executive Officer examined the plan for these properties, it was to also consider whether a complete review of the town planning scheme was required, or just amendments to the scheme. This was considered at the May Ordinary Meeting where Council requested further information including the cost of the review. Comment The first meeting with Paul Bashall was to examine the process of doing a town planning review, look at the properties that needed amending and any other items that have arisen that are cause for concern and need to be amended. On examining these details, it was considered that a full review of the Local Planning Scheme was required. Also noted was the need to look at the old town sites within the shire to ensure that they are zoned appropriately to ensure that they can not be developed by an owner who would then require services to be delivered to the old town site. While the possibility of this is minimal, it is a possibility. Due to changes in legislation, the review process now includes the requirement of a Local Planning Strategy. The Local Planning Strategy looks at the ‘bigger picture’ of development in the Shire and provides a framework for decision making and general direction for any relevant planning directions for the next 10 to 15 years. The process of establishing the Local Planning Strategy and Local Planning Scheme is a fairly drawn out process that will involve several meetings with Council members and a community consultation period. The full process for this may take approximately 12 months. Paul Bashall has sent documentation for the preparation of the Local Planning Strategy and Scheme. A copy has been attached for Councillors. The cost of this is $20,000. Consultation Paul Bashall – Town Planner Bill Atyeo – Environmental Health Officer Statutory Environment Nil

9.2.2.1 Bidi Bidi Request for Bus Hire and Recreation Centre

File: FI-DON Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 18 June 2010

Application To consider a request from Bidi Bidi for in-kind support. Background Council has received a request from Bidi Bidi asking for a change in the proposed in-king support that was offered when the group was being considered. Budi Bidi have requested three items: 1. Waiver of Community Bus hire fees and bond; 2. Waiver of venue fees for meetings to be held at the Recreation Centre or Anzac Hall; and 3. Assistance with power and water to the rental property. Comment The request for the community bus is to assist with enabling the establishment of programs and to promote attendance. Once of the difficulties facing the Bidi Bidi program has been to get the regular attendance of the target group. The bus would also be used for special activity days and outings. Daily hire for the bus is $130.00 including the first 120kms. There are some safety concerns with this. If the mothers are bringing babies to the centre, then there is no safe way of transporting them in the bus as it does not cater for babies or small children. Therefore, a limit would have to be put on the bus to ensure the safety of the passengers. Council has donated the use of the bus to other community groups providing that they supply a driver and fuel. The consideration for this will be taken based on similar allowances for other groups. The bond should still remain as this is the only recourse that Council has if any damage is done to the bus. The use of the Anzac Hall and Recreation Centre would be for meetings with the Community. No guide has been given to the amount of meetings that would be required. Council has allowed meetings to be held in the Recreation Centre to allow for fledgling groups to establish before costs are incurred. Bidi Bidi has also requested assistance with utilities of their functioning centre. Had the service been provided in a Shire owned building, this would have been an automatic consideration if Council allowed the facility without any charges until the group was established. As the Bidi Bidi is operating out of a non-council building, a consideration for a donation for these charges has been requested. The suggested benefits to the Bidi Bidi to assist with the firm establishment are: 1. Waiving hire fees only of the Community Bus to the value of $2,000, fuel, driver and

bond fees still apply; 2. Waiving fess for 1 community meeting per month in the Recreation Centre (normally

$22 per meeting) for a period of 6 months; and 3. Assistance with utility costs (power and water) to the value of $1,000

Shire of Mount Magnet Minutes Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 June 2010 60

The total cost to the Council for this consideration will be $3,132.00 Consultation Nil Statutory Environment Nil Policy Implications 12.1 DONATIONS COUNCIL SHALL SUPPORT:

When requests for donations are received :- Councils annual members donations budget lines be utilised for the following purposes:-

a) Donations to schools that serve children from within this Shire. b) Cultural, voluntary, education, artistic and sporting organisations within the

Shire. c) Tourism, agricultural, environmental and similar not for profit organisations that

operate within the Shire. d) Donations to fire/flood/tempest/storm damage appeals throughout Western

Australia. e) The Country Medical Foundation of Western Australia. f) Local Organisation g) Regional bodies if and when requested on a “merit basis”, where special

circumstances warrant consideration of a contribution to another organisation.

Requests for donations from statewide charitable organisations generally not be considered by Council as Council believes donations to these charities should be supported by residents and/or government agencies/funding.

Financial Implications The cost to Council for the proposed assistance will be $3,132.00 Strategic Implications Bidi Bidi is designed to assist young mothers and children. By assisting this group in their development, it may lead to a better future for the youth of Mount Magnet. Voting Requirements Simple Majority

OFFICER RECOMMENDATION

That the Chief Executive Officer advise Bidi Bidi that Council is prepared to offer the following assistance:

1. Waiving hire fees only of the Community Bus to the value of $2,000, fuel, driver and bond fees still apply; 2. Waiving fees for 1 community meeting per month in the Recreation Centre for a period of 6 months; and 3. Assistance with utility costs (power and water) to the value of $1,000

9.2.2.2 Joint Agreement for Aged Housing

File: CP-OTHR Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 17 June 2010

Application To consider a joint venture for the Aged Units in Mount Magnet Background The Aged Units are currently a joint operation with the Shire and The Department of Housing. This agreement is due for renewal later this year at the end of August. Comment I have been in contact with the Department of Housing with regards to the future of the Aged Units. There were two options explored:

1. The purchase of the units, so that they will become fully owned by the Shire; 2. For a possible renewal of the Aged Units.

The Department of Housing has requested that the Shire enter into a joint agreement with one of three organisations that have been appointed regional providers for our region: Foundation Housing Limited; Community Housing Limited; and Access Housing Limited. Department of Housing has suggested Community Housing Limited as they are a large community housing provider with management experience in other states. Community Housing Ltd has made initial contact with the Shire for a possible agreement. The Aged Units currently have several tenants, however over the last few years, they have been mostly vacant. This has meant a cost to Council. The benefit of a joint arrangement is that the cost of maintaining the units is shared. Details of a possible agreement are still forthcoming and options will be sought from the other providers to establish a best option for Council. Consultation Department of Housing Community Housing Limited Statutory Environment Nil Policy Implications Nil Financial Implications A joint agreement will allow for any maintenance of the facilities to be a shared cost rather Council facing the full costs. Unfortunately this also applies to the rental income.

9.2.2.3 Legislation for Control of Cats

File: AD-LLS Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 17 June 2010

Application To consider a response for the possible control of Cats. Background The Minister for Local Government has requested a response to the government proposal to introduce legislation for the control of cats. Comment The legislation will be looking at the control of cats including registering, sterilisation and micro-chipping. The work that will be created by this legislation will be similar to the work required for the control of dogs. In order to fulfil our obligations for the proposed legislation, Council will be required to adopt a local law. This process is expensive and time consuming. The actual enforcement of the legislation will required Council to have a micro chip reader and to be able to trap and house stray cats until the owner can be located. Council will also be responsible for the registering of animals and following up on the registrations. The work that will be created by this legislation will require additional staff to administer. This will also require additional time from the Ranger and other staff for the control of cats in Mount Magnet. The proposal document is about 60 pages long. A copy will be sent out with the Agenda. Consultation Nil Statutory Environment Nil Policy Implications Nil Financial Implications The implementation of this legislation and administering it will be a large cost to the Shire with very little in the way of income. The drain on resources will outweigh the benefits received. Strategic Implications Nil Voting Requirements Simple Majority

9.3.1. Development of Shop/Restaurant – I Black

File: A218 / TP-TPMM Officer: Bill Atyeo – Environmental Health Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 15 June 2010

Application Mr Black has applied to Council to develop the “Mono’s Camp” kitchen and dining area into a shop/restaurant/ food premises. I feel that the present Town Planning Scheme does not permit this within the “Single Persons Quarters” use zoned as a Special Use Zone. The development of a shop/retail business as a restaurant/food shop is already a permitted use within the “Commercial” Zone of the Town Planning Scheme, which I feel prohibits such a use in all other Zones of the Scheme. In other words, if you want to develop a shop within the Town of Mount Magnet, then it has to be within the Commercial Zone as depicted in the Scheme map. I will therefore be recommending that Council not approve the application by Mr Ian Black to establish a shop on Lot 400 Watson Street. Background In August/September 2003, Mr Black made application to Council to change the Zoning of the defunct Monadelphous Camp to a suitable classification that would allow the owner to use the facilities as budget accommodation for workers, contractors, and travelling tourists, and the like. Council supported this in principle and wrote to Mr Black after considering his request at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on the 15th August 2003: “Council supports in principle, the rezoning of Lot 400 Richardson Street from Single

Persons Quarters (SPQ) to an appropriate use that will allow the owners of Lot 400

Richardson to accommodate workers, contractors, and travelling tourists, and the like, when

the Mount Magnet Town Planning Scheme is reviewed. In the meantime, Mr. Black is to fully

comply with the requirements of the Principal Environmental Health Officer/ Building

Surveyor in regard to the upgrading of the facilities in order to fully utilize the facilities as

requested.” I further stated to Mr Black in the letter that:

• You will be required to retain, or provide, a cooking facility for guests which they are able to

access to do their own cooking if they desire.”

Page 69: 2010.06.25.Minutes Ordinary Meeting of Council · 6.2 Special Meeting of Council held on ... 9.2.2.1 Bidi Bidi Request for Bus Hire and ... Shire of Mount Magnet Minutes Ordinary

Shire of Mount Magnet Minutes Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 June 2010 69

This means the cooking facility and dining room were to be retained so that guests could cook their own food. It was never ever implied that the facility could be used as a shop where food is cooked and offered to the general public or other organisations for sale. It has never ever been registered as Food Premises under the Food Act. I was informed that the facility was being advertised as a restaurant/food premises and so sent the letter to Mr Black which I reported last meeting to Council. Thus this application to Council to allow the facilities to be used as a food premises/shop.

Comment As stated above the use as a shop is only permitted in “Commercially” zoned land under the Town Planning Scheme. This excludes this type of use in any other zone within the Town Planning Scheme. The use applied for by Mr Black is therefore not permitted under the Town Planning Scheme.

OFFICER RECOMMENDATION

That :-

Council determine that the use applied for by Mr Ian Black for the use of the kitchen at Lot 400 Watson Street Mount Magnet as a kitchen from which food is offered through sale, constitutes a shop under the definitions within the Town Planning Scheme, and this use is not permitted within the ‘Special Use – Single persons Quarters’ zone; and

Council thereby refuses to approve the Application for Planning Consent submitted by Mr Ian Black to use the kitchen at Lot 400 Watson Street Mount Magnet as a commercial kitchen.

9.3.2 Development of Family Day Care Facility

File: A294 / TP-TPMM Officer: Bill Atyeo – Environmental Health Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 15 June 2010

Application Mrs Katherine White has made application to establish a Family Day Care facility at a residence on Lot 491 Priestley Street. The property is a Government Regional Officers' Housing (GROH) dwelling as Katherine’s husband is the Deputy Principal of the school. I will be recommending that Council approve the application by Mrs Katherine White to establish a Family Day Care facility at Lot 491 Priestley Street with conditions applicable to it. Background Mount Magnet does not have a Family Day Care facility within the Shire and it is a service that would greatly enhance the conditions experienced by people who move to the town for employment. The premises to be used for the development is the dwelling located on the Lot which is part of the GROH stock of houses. Permission from GROH would need to be obtained by Mrs White in order for the development to proceed. Mrs White has indicated that she is currently seeking GROH’s permission for the venture to proceed, which may take some time. In the meantime she has decided to apply to the Shire for Planning permission. It was also stated by Mrs White that she is registered with Elite Childcare, and has a letter of support from them in this regard, and that the service will be a licensed, and nationally Accredited Family Day Care service. Through Elite Childcare Mrs White will be fully accredited as a family day care provider. This includes all relevant insurance cover as well as a police clearance, working with children’s check, and a senior first aid certificate. Mrs White is also planning to commence a certificate three in children’s services should this application be accepted by the Shire and GROH. In accordance with Elite Childcare guidelines, the maximum number of children Mrs White can have in her care at any one time is five under school age children. The total maximum including after school care, for school age children, is seven. It is felt that such low numbers would not have any negative impact upon the property mentioned above or to surrounding neighbours. The low number of children also means that no structural changes will have to be made to the property itself or surrounding land. Mrs White will also be applying to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) for a five thousand dollar grant provided to assist carers with the cost of establishing a home-based business providing childcare. This money will be used to make minor improvements to the property which will improve the safety and overall appearance of the property. Comment The land the subject of this application is zoned ‘Residential’ in accordance with the Town Planning Scheme. The use proposed here (Family Day Care Facility) while defined in the definitions of the Scheme, is not mentioned at all in the Zoning table of the Scheme.

Page 72: 2010.06.25.Minutes Ordinary Meeting of Council · 6.2 Special Meeting of Council held on ... 9.2.2.1 Bidi Bidi Request for Bus Hire and ... Shire of Mount Magnet Minutes Ordinary

Shire of Mount Magnet Minutes Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 June 2010 72

Therefore, pursuant to Clause 3.3.5 of the Town Planning Scheme:

If the use of land for a purpose is not specifically mentioned in the Zoning Table and cannot be reasonably be determined as falling within the interpretation of one of the use classes, the Council may:

a) determine that the use is not consistent with the objectives and purposes of the

particular zone and therefore not permitted; or

b) determine by absolute majority that the proposed use may be consistent with the

objectives and purpose of the zone and therefore follow the advertising procedures of

clause 6.2 in considering an Application for Planning Consent.

I feel the proposed use does satisfy the objectives of the residential zone and can be approved subject to the advertising of the proposal. The objectives in the Scheme state: The use of land in the Residential Zone shall be consistent with the following objectives:

(a) The zone shall be predominantly residential.

(b) Non-residential uses shall be compatible in character, scale and operation with the

predominant residential use.

(c) A non-residential use shall only be permitted if the use does not detract from the amenity of

the area.

Clause 6.2.3 of the Mount Magnet Town Planning Scheme states the requirements in regard to advertising such a development in that:

“Where the Council is required or decides to give notice of an application for planning

consent the council shall cause one or more of the following to be carried out:

(a) notice of the proposed use to be served on the owners and occupiers of land within an

area determined by the Council as likely to be affected by the granting of a Planning

Consent stating that submissions may be made to the Council within twenty one days

of the service of such notice;

(b) notice of the proposed development to be published in a newspaper circulating in the

Scheme area stating that submissions may be made to the Council within twenty-one

days from the publication thereof;

(c) a sign or signs displaying notice of the proposed development to be erected in a

conspicuous position on the land for a period of twenty-one days from the date of

publication referred to in paragraph (b) of this clause.”

I would suggest that given the perceived acceptable nature of this development that Council ask that Clause 6.2.3 (a) is carried out, which would satisfy the requirements of the Scheme as stated. It does not have to be that all three are asked for, as the Scheme says Council must cause one or more of the following to be carried out. I feel the benefits to the Community would be significant and can be supported.

10 June 2010

Thank you all for attending.

We have now received the “Mount Magnet Tourism Framework

2010-2013” from FACET. The document will be discussed at this meeting.

I trust all members of TAC have received and read this manual to date, and look forward to

your comments, on what is achievable now and in the future of Mount Magnet.

I would like to request that when we receive the statistics from the activities of the Tourist

Centre, if we could please have the numbers of ‘out of town’ visitors, the dollar value of stock

sold excluding consignment stock and copies of any Visitor Survey Forms presented for

consideration by the Committee. If these can be presented each month it will assist the

Committee with projects and direction.

The Shire has also recently purchased a considerable amount of June Boase prints, I would

like to request that some marketing and displays of these prints in the Tourist Centre and

Caravan Park be initiated to assist with the recovery of the costs and to market Mount Magnet.

I would like to thank Danelle for the extra effort she has shown in trying to make the Festival in

October a realistic event.

Thanks

9.5.1.1 Tourism Framework Action Plan File: CO - TOUR Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 14 June 2010

Application To consider actions for the Tourism Framework Action Plan. Background As part of the Shire support for the FACET conference held in 2009, FACET were to deliver to the Shire of Mount Magnet a Tourism Framework to assist in the development in tourism for the Shire and the region. This document was presented to the Shire of Mount Magnet in May 2010. Comment The Tourism Framework contains a list of actions and items designed to help the Shire, the Tourism Advisory Committee and the Tourism Officers to gather relevant information and start actions that will assist in the development of Tourism. These actions have been split up into three years. The Tourism Officers along with the TAC Members and the Shire Officers will be going through the list of actions step by step reporting the actions through to the TAC and Council. The Items that we will be looking at to start off are highlighted on the attached report listing all the actions and the proposed years. These are only a guide and starting point and may be changed by the members of TAC if they see other priorities that are considered more urgent. We are looking at trying to break up the workload into manageable amounts each month so that the Tourism Officers and Shire staff can pursue each action fully. The document also lists all the suggested slogans for Mount Magnet. I would suggest that one be used for a main promotional slogan. Several of the others can be used for a possible marketing campaign to draw people to Mount Magnet as well.

9.5.1.2 Mount Magnet Festival Update

File: CO-TOUR Officer: Danelle Fauntleroy – Community Development Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 14 June 2010

Application Updated information for the Art Exhibition and Mount Magnet Festival. Background Council resolved at its 26 March 2010 meeting of Ordinary Council to have a Mount Magnet Festival incorporating an art competition in October. The date was resolved to be 02 and 03 October 2010. Comment Preparations are ongoing for the 2010 Mount Magnet Festival and Art Exhibition. There has been interest in the Market Day at the Rec Centre and a volunteer will need to be found to coordinate the stall set up on the day (Saturday or Sunday only tbc). This will give individuals and community groups from Mount Magnet, as well as businesses from outside the town the opportunity to sell products. I have also had interest through the Inter Agency Meetings from government bodies that may set up information displays on the day. I have prepared a draft booking form and information to be distributed to potential stallholders. In conjunction with the Sport & Recreation Officer a Mount Magnet Clean Up day has been scheduled for Saturday 18 September prior to the start of the school holidays. Community members and groups will be invited to participate in the cleanup day which will run in a similar format to the March cleanup. Anne and Frank Walsh will be preparing a bush camp with traditional foods for sale. This will be located at the creek area behind the tourist information centre park and would run on both days. The Mount Magnet Cub Scout Group will be setting up a bush camp display at the festival and depending on other food available may do a sausage sizzle or similar as a fundraiser. The Cubs Group has also confirmed availability to assist the Historic Society with general cleaning up of the historic Headmasters House and grounds if required. The Seniors Group will have a craft stall at the Festival as a fundraiser for their group. The Mount Magnet Race Club will be hosting the Saturday night concert as part of the Festival. A band is yet to be confirmed and a bar will be run over the course of the evening. A shuttle bus will need to be arranged to get people to and from the concert. Many of the indigenous groups are currently working on the NAIDOC Celebration to be held on 2 & 3 July so much of the confirmation on CDEP, Indigenous Womens Group, Bidi Bidi etc involvement will be confirmed after NAIDOC Week. Vic Housler has been contacted regarding his vintage bicycle display and he will be advising me this week on his availability for that weekend. If he is available he will require a small fee to cover his travel cost and accommodation. Matthew Leonard of Wirnda Barna is due to return to Mount Magnet later this week and I have arranged to meet with him on the art exhibition and festival next week. Extra art competition entry forms have been distributed both throughout Mount Magnet and through other arts organisations as requested.
