SER004-19 DRAFT OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION STRATEGY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The draft Open Space and Recreation Strategy is an informing strategy that sits between the
Community Strategic Plan and the Delivery Plan to inform future action plans.
Open space and recreational services are core elements of Council’s service to the community.
It is a particularly visible portfolio that is coming under increasing pressure from rising demand
and competing interests.
A long term strategic approach is necessary if Council is to deliver best value to the community
from its investment and service decisions.
The draft Strategy is based on three outcomes and objectives that are backed up by strategic
approaches. The strategic approaches will guide the preparation of action plans for key service
areas.
The preparation and implementation of the strategy is identified for 2017-21 in the Delivery
Plan.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
THAT:
1. Council endorse public exhibition of the draft Sutherland Shire Open Space and Recreation
Strategy for a period of 28 days.
2. Following exhibition the feedback be reviewed and a final strategy be submitted to Council for
endorsement.

INF006-19 REQUEST FOR PLAYGROUND AT 1R MATHERS PLACE, MENAI
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Council has received requests from local residents calling upon Council to install a playground
in the reserve located on the corner of Mathers Place and Bishop Road, Menai (Mathers Place
Reserve) resulting in a Council resolution to prepare this report;
Analysis of the suitability of the site including proximity to similar facilities and demographic data
has been undertaken and a local level playground could potentially fill a service gap in this part
of Menai;
There are no current plans or funding for play facilities at Mathers Place in the Long Term
Financial Plan.
It is proposed that, prior to proceeding with the installation of new playgrounds in response to
requests, Council should first develop an Action Plan for Play to support implementation of the
proposed Open Space and Recreation strategy.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
THAT:
1. An Action Plan for Play be developed to support the implementation of the proposed Open
Space and Recreation Strategy.
2. E Ward Councillors meet with Council staff to refine the scope of works and funding sources.

PLN009-19 SSDCP 2015 – DRAFT AMENDMENT 5 – BOARDING HOUSES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Boarding houses are permissible under both Council’s SSLEP2015 and State Environmental
Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009 (ARH SEPP). Any Council adopted controls
must not be inconsistent with the AHR SEPP standards.
Council is currently assessing nine applications for boarding houses. Whilst applications are
assessed on against the basic standards in the ARH SEPP and on merit, there are no detailed
controls specific to boarding houses in Sutherland Shire Development Control Plan 2015
(SSDCP2015).
The proposed SSDCP2015 draft controls (Appendix A) for boarding houses aim to ensure the
bulk and scale of development is compatible with the local character, that the landscape quality
is maintained, that such proposals provide adequate communal and private spaces, and that
proposals achieve privacy and amenity standards. The provisions also aim to address
community concerns regarding the responsible management of these premises (Appendix B).
It is recommended that SSDCP2015 be amended to include appropriate controls for boarding
houses.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
THAT:
Council endorse for public exhibition Sutherland Shire Development Control Plan 2015
(SSDCP2015) Draft Amendment 5, to provide for boarding house controls (as shown in Appendix A
& B).

PLN011-19 PLANNING PROPOSAL TO HERITAGE LIST 65 HOTHAM ROAD GYMEA
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A detailed heritage assessment of the house at 65 Hotham Road Gymea, by consultants
Architectural Projects Pty Ltd, has concluded that the house has local heritage significance
(Appendix A).
Macquarie Health Corporation plans to substantially redevelop the site to meet growing health
needs and contend that the retention of the house is problematic (Appendix B).
The Sutherland Shire Local Planning Panel supports the Planning Proposal proceeding to the
Department of Planning and Environment for a Gateway Determination. The Planning Proposal
proposes to amend SSLEP2015 by adding 65 Hotham Road Gymea to Schedule 5
Environmental Heritage.
If Council wishes to begin the process of listing the house as a heritage item in SSLEP2015,
the Planning Proposal must now be forwarded to NSW Planning and Environment for a
Gateway Determination.
This report seeks Council’s endorsement to submit the proposed heritage listing for Gateway
Determination.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
THAT:
1. Council endorses the Planning Proposal to add 65 Hotham Road Gymea to Schedule 5
Environmental Heritage, for submission to NSW Planning and Environment for a Gateway
Determination.
2. Subject to a positive Gateway Determination, the Planning Proposal be exhibited in
accordance with Council’s policies and the conditions of the Gateway Determination.

COR008-19 SUBMISSION TO PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION ECONOMIC
REGULATION OF AIRPORTS DRAFT REPORT
Attachments: Appendix A⇩
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s endorsement of a submission prepared in
response to the Productivity Commission’s Draft Report on the Economic Regulation of Airports.
The focus of the submission centres on two key issues, these are:
o The Productivity Commission’s report does not give due consideration to the cost of noise
and emissions pollution on the economy, especially with respect to its broad impact on
community health and general productivity.
o Increasing mode share to rail to reduce the high cost of traffic congestion and air
pollution. The imposition of a levy on car parking and vehicle access fees at the airport
should be considered to offset the Airport Station Access Fee. An economic study by
Booz Allen has indicated that a mode share of 35% could be achieved with the removal
of the Station Access fee.
REPORT RECOMMENDATION
THAT:
The report, “Submission to Productivity Commission Economic Regulation of Airports Draft Report”
be received, noted and endorsed by Council.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s endorsement of a submission prepared in response to
the Australian Government Productivity Commission’s Draft Report on the Economic Regulation of
Airports.
BACKGROUND
Since the privatisation of airports between 1997 and 2002 concerns have been raised by the
community and aviation stakeholders that without appropriate regulation, Australia’s major airports
could abuse their significant market power to set excessively high charges for airport services, and / or
contribute to inefficiencies in their operations and investment decisions.
To examine this issue a series of inquiries were undertaken for the Federal Government on the
regulation of airport services between 2002 and 2011. During this time the approach has been to
make changes to regulations only where “… airports are systematically exercising their market power
to the detriment of the community, and changes to the regime would likely lead to the net benefits to
the community” (pg 7).
As an outcome of the 2011 Commission of inquiry into the effectiveness and efficiency of economic
regulations and quality of service monitoring regime for airports a further review was scheduled to be
conducted in 2018, “to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the current arrangements and
determine whether they remain appropriate” (pg iv). The Productivity Commission Draft Report on the
Economic Regulation of Airports is a part of the 2018 review.
The Review was placed on public exhibition between 6 February and 25 March 2019. Councillors
were notified of the exhibition in the Councillors Bulletin of 15 February 2019 and were invited to
provide comments and issues for inclusion in the submission. No comments were received.
DISCUSSION
The Economic Regulation of Airports Draft Report has been prepared by the Productivity Commission
based on submissions it received following the release of an Issues Paper on 9 July 2018. A key issue
arising from the Issues Paper is a concern by the Productivity Commission and key Industry Groups
that the current regulatory constraints (that include the aircraft movement cap and curfew, slot
management and LTOP) is having an adverse impact on the economic efficiency of aviation
operations, business and tourism activity. When disruptions to operations occur for example, during
poor weather events, the regulations enacted are considered too inflexible and create an unnecessary
economic burden and adverse impact on the community from aircraft noise.
In response, Council’s submission (see attached) suggests that the level of concern raised is
unwarranted. Through the Long Term Operating Plan (LTOP), The Sydney Airport Demand
Management Act 1997, and the Sydney Airport Curfew Act 1995, measures are able to be applied that
enable the effective management of aircraft movement to and from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport
(KSA) and to minimise the adverse health and amenity impacts arising from aircraft noise.
Council Meeting 15 April 2019

In summary the Council submission to the Productivity Commission contends that:
When the number of aircraft movements to Sydney KSA approaches 80 movements per hour
the ability to apply noise sharing measures to aircraft movements across Sydney diminishes
significantly. For areas in the Sutherland Shire in close proximity to Sydney KSA such as
Kurnell, Cronulla and Bundeena and the many other suburbs affected by aircraft flying at low
altitudes on approach and departures paths, the ability for the community to avoid the impact
from aircraft noise becomes increasingly more difficult. Although Sydney KSA has the capacity
to operate at 90 aircraft movements per hour, enabling the movement cap to be exceeded is
most likely to have an adverse impact on the community and is not supported.
Suggestions by the Commission that regulations be relaxed with respect to limiting aircraft
movements during night time curfews and the application of the 15 minute rolling hour (which
restricts total aircraft movements to 60-80 over any consecutive 4 x 15 minute periods) to
manage aircraft movements are not supported. The Falling on Deaf Ears Senate Select
Committee report (1995) and literature since then clearly demonstrates that increased exposure
to aircraft noise and associated sleep disturbance during curfew hours are likely to cause
increased health impacts (and therefore a financial cost). Changes to the 15 minute rolling hour
has the potential to further cluster aircraft movements and concentrate exposure to aircraft
noise events as well as introduce increased uncertainty to the capacity and management of the
air traffic system.
Concerns by the aviation industry and peak business organisations that current regulations can
lead to increased noise impacts when major disruptions to aircraft movements occur is not
supported. It is understood that when disruptive events occur aircraft are placed in a holding
pattern over the ocean or land which ranges 83km to 222km from Sydney minimising any noise
impact on the community. When the number of aircraft movements exceed 60 movements per
hour the ability to manage these events effectively and flexibly diminishes. Although Western
Sydney Airport is being constructed, without additional airports and capacity the ability of
Sydney KSA to effectively manage disruptive events becomes increasingly limited.
The high dispersed externality costs and adverse impacts associated with the growth in aircraft
movements to Sydney KSA in particular, the health, well-being and amenity of the community
cannot be ignored and must be included in any economic assessment of regulations affecting
the airport.
A study undertaken by Booz Allen for Sydney Airport shows that the removal of the Airport
Railway Station Access Fee has the potential to increase the mode share of trips by rail from
11% to 35%. Applying regulations that levy car parking and access to the airport by car is
suggested as a means of subsidising the Station Access Fee and helping to reduce traffic
congestion generated by trips to and from the airport by car.

The risk to the Sutherland Shire community from increased aircraft noise will continue to grow as the
demand for air travel to and from Sydney KSA increases over time. The current regulations controlling
aircraft movements over Sydney have been enacted to limit the potential adverse impacts of aircraft
noise on the health, well-being and amenity of the community. It is important in the proper evaluation
of the regulatory cost on the operation of Sydney Airport, that these environmental and health
externalities and the costs that they incur in lost productivity and medical treatment be included.
RESOURCING STRATEGY IMPLICATIONS
The submission to the Productivity Commission and outcomes are unlikely to have any resourcing,
strategy implications at this point in time for Council. Council officers will continue to monitor the
impacts associated with increased air traffic through participation in the Sydney Airport Community
Forum and respond appropriately to any issues as they arise.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Council is a member of the Sydney Airport Community Forum (SACF). SACF was formed by the
Federal Government “to provide advice to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Sydney Airport
Corporation and aviation authorities on the abatement of aircraft noise and related environmental
issues at Sydney Airport. In particular, it is the main body for consultation on the Long term Operating
Plan for the Airport” (SACF Terms of Reference). This report is consistent with the submission made
by SACF.
POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS
The submission to the Productivity Commission is consistent with Objective 6 of the Community
Strategic Plan. The concerns raised with respect to the impact on the community from increased
aircraft noise and growing traffic congestion in the region supports the plan’s vision of the Sutherland
Shire as a liveable place with a high quality of life.
CONCLUSION
The current regulations enacted to protect the community from the adverse impact of aircraft noise are
vital to ensuring reasonable quality of life for Shire residents. The Productivity Commission’s Draft
Report on the Economic Regulation of Airports raises concerns that these regulations are constraints
to the effective and efficient operation of Sydney KSA and associated aviation stakeholders.

The current operational limitations affecting Sydney are merely reflective of an airport that is rapidly
approaching capacity thresholds and its ability to respond to disruptive events such as poor weather
conditions. In Council’s submission to the Productivity Commission it is considered that to
appropriately address the concerns raised, the economic costs associated with exposure to increased
aircraft noise must be fully accounted for.
The impacts and potential economic cost from aircraft noise on the health, wellbeing, productivity and
amenity of the community are well documented in literature. In addition to the economic
considerations of aircraft noise, the submission also identifies an opportunity to apply regulations that
levy car parking and access at the airport to subsidise the Airport Station Access Fee and help support
major modal shift from car to rail.
